W HST FORUM
Two sides square off over tax vote Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The Kelowna stop on the B.C. HST debate tour was a battle for the head and heart of those on hand at a public forum held Monday night at Okanagan College. While the pro-HST side used the facts, as they see them, to promote the controversial tax, the anti-HST representatives appealed to the emotion of the crowd. “It’s all about trust,” said former B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm, a leader of Fight HST, the group that collected 700,000 signatures on petitions to force the upcoming province-wide referendum on the HST. He and Chris Delaney repeated how the B.C. Liberal government said before the last election the HST was “not on the radar,” then days after the vote it was announced the HST would be introduced. Delaney said voting for the tax in the upcoming referendum would simply tell the government it can lie to the public and out-wait them in order to get its way. But pro-HST Smart Tax Alliance representative Peter Leitch waved

off the question of trust, noting Vander Zalm’s opening remarks were very emotional and that emotion needs to be taken out of the picture. That drew applause from some in the audience. “This is not about the rate or what is or is not covered (by the tax),” said local orchardist Christine Dendy, another member of the pro-HST contingent. “This referendum is about keeping the HST collection system.” She called the HST a “cost-effective and fair system that will help create thousands of jobs, be easier for business to deal with, cost the government less to collect while helping B.C.’s economy grow.” It replaced an “archaic and nonsensical” PST system, she added. But Delaney countered her argument, saying the estimated 24,000 new jobs the tax is expected to create over the next 10 years will come at a staggering $2.8 billion cost to taxpayers, $850 million more than originally forecast. Last week the B.C. government announced it will drop the 12 per cent

The Kelowna RCMP officer facing two criminal charges for assault causing bodily harm will no longer be collecting a pay cheque from the police force. Supt. Bill McKinnon announced Monday that Const. Geoff Mantler, who was been suspended with pay following his highly publicized kick to the head of Buddy Tavares in January, had been served with a stoppage of pay effective May 27. “Stoppage of pay and allowances was approved for Const. Mantler on the rationale that the allegations of misconduct against him are so serious that they require a greater response than the suspension alone,” said McKinnon. “I must clarify that suspensions, either with or without pay, are not forms of punishment. “They are temporary measures to protect the integrity of the RCMP and See Pay A8

Blanleil: City letting tourism slip away
Teachers ready to strike Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
With the boom era fading into memory, Coun. Andre Blanleil says it’s time for the city to get involved with plays for tourism dollars and stop resting on reputation alone. “We got spoiled when we had everyone coming here but the world changed and we have to be more proactive,” said Blanleil, upon seeing a schedule of events in city venues that is down from previous years. “We are seeing events drop off.” An annual soccer tournament, for example, was cancelled for the May long weekend and other events are suffering from fewer registrations. That trend is causing event planners to back out of making commitments to avoid the risk of losing money. “We (as the city) need to play more of a proactive role,” he said, pointing out that WakeFest was a successful event that was ultimately killed by the political process. “We still have ‘lead by example’ in the city. We don’t create events, we facilitate them, and they play a big role in our economy.” One of the things Blanleil said he’d like to see Andre Blanleil more of is the use of Stuart Park in summer months. “I see that as being such a people place, yet it sits empty in the summer,” he said, asking a city staff member if there was anything they could do to ramp up booking possibilities. Council was then told there have been requests to hold everything from sporting events to concerts in Stuart Park—and there’s wiring for sound, lights and vendors to facilitate that aim—but the community trust that limits commercial events also puts a damper on those possibilities. As is, only volunteer, non-commerce events are possible. “You are restricted when a guy wants to put a concert on and they can’t and I think it’s ridiculous,” Blanleil said. However, Couns. Charlie Hodge and Michele Rule both said they were pleased with the way things were going. Hodge pointed out that fewer scheduled events means venues like City Park are more often available to the general public. Rule pointed out summer is just beginning and it’s best to wait and see what comes up before getting too involved with the matters of city staff. As is, there will be free dance lessons starting in the space every Wednesday, and it’s a regular spot for roller derby. Those events, she said, will liven the square up nicely.

STANLEY CUP FEVER…The Boston Pizza restaurant in the Dilworth shopping centre
at Harvey and Leckie will hoist a new sign on its building so as not to anger loyal Vancouver Canuck hockey fans during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Jeff Johnson, owner of the Highway 97 franchise outlet, holds the new sign with restaurant staffers Cassie Pentland (left) and LaDawn Latawiec. Johnson said temporary logo changes have been added to the menu and bills as well. The Boston Pizza outlets in Montreal carried out a similar marketing campaign during the earlier Bruins-Canadiens playoff round.
W STANLEY CUP FRAUD
Ticket buyers scam proves costly A Lake Country man is out more than $3,000 after he tried to buy tickets to watch the Vancouver Canucks in their quest for the Stanley Cup. On Sunday, police were advised that the man had seen four tickets for the final round of the playoffs on a Toronto Internet classified site and had exchanged emails with the seller. A $3,200 bank transfer was done, and since then, the victim has
been unable to contact the seller and has received no tickets, said Const. Steve Holmes. “Police are investigating the incident as a fraud and are warning the public, once again, to be wary of such offers,” said Holmes. “There is no real way to tell if a seller, using the Internet classifieds, is honest or not.” “It is not difficult to set up an email account, a phone number and an online bank account using false
information,” he added. “Then, after bilking unsuspecting victims of thousands of dollars, simply close up shop to avoid detection, and start all over again.” He urges people to do their homework before buying anything online. Stick with reputable retailers and ask lots of questions. If possible, Holmes said to use a company like Pay Pal to facilitate purchases as they can insure against loss.
Crops are late due to a cool spring Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
It hasn’t started off as a stellar season for either the tree fruit or grape industries, with cool weather continuing to set crops back by as much as two weeks in the valley. However, this spring’s frosty nights have caused only spotty damage to vulnerable blossoms, reports Jim Campbell, the agriculture ministry’s tree fruit and grape specialist.
Cold days have reduced bee flight, though, so there are concerns about adequate pollination, particularly in soft fruits like cherries and apricots. With such a late start, Campbell says grape and apple growers are concerned about getting the harvest off before the first frost of fall. Apple growers can even find it an advantage because the first cold weather in fall produces
high-coloured fruit, which is more desirable in the marketplace, whereas if it ripens earlier, warmer temperatures don’t produce good colour. Grape growers, on the other hand, hope to increase the sugars in the fruit at the end of the year with warm weather at harvest, and the later the harvest, the less likely the weather will be warm. Farmers are hopeful the cool spring will be followed by a hot summer
so that fruit will catch up over the coming months. “Last year we had a cool spring but with the warm summer, most fruit caught up by harvest,” Campbell commented. He’s predicting some short crops in the apricots and cherries, as there was last year, but the forecast is for a large grape crop this year after two years of short crops. So far, he hasn’t heard See Crops A5
The Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association will support a strike vote should contract negotiations come to that point, the president says. Tuesday afternoon Alice Rees confirmed the B.C. Teachers’ Federation had called upon the association to discuss the matter at a recent governance meeting where it was overwhelmingly supported. “It will still come back to members for a vote,” said Rees. That vote would occur in the last week of June, meaning there is still plenty of time for the parties involved to avert job action. This move simply gives both the government and the teachers’ bargaining agents a clear picture of where local teachers stand on the issues and how far they are willing to go to make a stand. Earlier this spring teachers won an appeal in the Supreme Court when Justice Susan Griffin decided a Liberal manoeuvre to eliminate class-size limits from its Collective Bargaining Agreement with the BCTF was unconstitutional. “We’ve seen cuts that are devastating and supports that should have been in place for kids just aren’t there,” Rees added. She noted the past decade could be characterized as an onslaught of cuts with policies that aired toward privatization. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Plea deal halts extortion trial Cheryl Wierda
business dealings with a relative of the investors, and the relative repeatedly sought to have his family members repaid. The court heard that the complainant relayed that paying the couple would be “illegal” because of the bankruptcy. The relative of the investors later spoke about the issue with a client, who happened to be Tolentino, and Tolentino later contacted the complainant in Kelowna and said he was going to collect on the debt. Tolentino met twice with the complainant in the Kelowna area, receiving $20,000 on the first visit and $42,000 on a visit two days later. He was to collect another $62,500 a month later, but the complainant went to police and Tolentino was intercepted by police as he was headed to Kelowna. “He didn’t intend to personally threaten (the complainant),” said defence lawyer Brian Jackson of his
STAFF REPORTER
A Lower Mainland man must pay a $10,000 fine and more than $60,000 in restitution after an extortion trial was aborted when a plea agreement was reached this week. The jury had already been selected for Christian Donald Tolentino’s trial on four counts of extortion and one count of uttering threats when he pleaded guilty Tuesday to a new charge of possession of money—$62,500—obtained by crime. The extortion and threats charges were stayed. According to a statement of facts presented to Justice Peter Rogers Tuesday afternoon, the events that led to the 2008 crime began a number of years ago when a couple lost money after investing with a man who later went bankrupt. The man, who cannot be identified because of a court order, had
client. “He didn’t intend to get involved in any criminal activity.” “It appears to have been an offence motivated not by any over evil intent but rather…as a wish to get ahead in business,” noted Justice Rogers. He also highlighted that this is a first offence for the 39-year-old businessman and that it appears to be “out of character.” He said he was “just satisfied” that Tolentino did not need to be incarcerated and agreed to the joint submission presented by Crown and defence. Tolentino will be on probation for three years, during which time he may not be in the Kelowna/Lake Country area or have contact with the complainant and a number of other individuals. He must pay $62,500 restitution to the victim within six months, and has 10 months to pay $10,000, the court also ordered.

STAFF REPORTER
For just a couple of bucks—which will go to a good cause—you can taste the prawn-y creations of some of the area’s top chefs at the Okanagan’s first celebration of local B.C. prawns Saturday. This is the season for commercial fishing for wild B.C. spot prawns off the west coast and there’s been a B.C. Spot Prawn Festival in Vancouver for the past five years—but this is the first such festival here in the Okanagan. It began in order to develop an awareness of this species of local prawn, and it was started by chef Robert Clark, of C Restaurant, and Steve Johansen, of Organic Oceans, a prawn fisherman. At that time more than 80 per cent of the local catch was shipped to Asia. Kelowna seafood shop owner Jonathon Crofts, of Codfathers, encouraged the festival’s expansion to the Interior this year. The Chefs’ Table Society of B.C. is organizing the inaugural local festival at Manteo Resort, 1 to 4 p.m., Saturday, June 4. It will be repeated the next day at Watermark Beach Resort in the South Okanagan. Entrance is free, with tasting tickets for prawn samples available for $2 each.

LOCAL B.C. wild prawns are sold directly from commercial fishermen’s boats, convenient if you live in Richmond, but no so much for those in Kelowna. Instead, go to the first Okanagan Spot Prawn Festival this Saturday at the Manteo Resort. taurants and at seafood counters. Participating restaurants include the Wild Apple from Manteo, RauDZ Regional Table, Cabana Grille, Bonfire at The Cove, Le Plateau Bistro and Clark. Live, wild B.C. spot prawns will be available on site for sale from Codfathers. These prawns are known for their sweet,
delicate flavour and firm texture and they are the largest of the seven commercial species of shrimp found on the west coast of Canada, explains Crofts. They are only available fresh during the six to eight-week harvest season that began near the beginning of May. Fishermen spread baited traps along the ocean floor at 40 to 100
metres in depth. There is little bycatch of other species and there is minimal impact on ocean habitat. These prawns reproduce effectively under well-managed conditions such as now exist, explained Crofts, and the short season ensures females have a chance to reproduce before the season opens.

Spike belt stops fugitive Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Police needed to use a spike belt Monday morning to nab a West Kelowna man who, they say, was driving a stolen truck that was pulling a purloined trailer and lawn mowers. The events leading up to the arrest began at 3 a.m., when Kelowna RCMP received a call that a low-bed trailer was possibly stolen from a home in the 600-block of Rutland Road South. An hour later, a police officer spotted a trailer matching the description of the stolen one on Highway 97 north of Kelowna being driven “at a high rate of speed,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The officer confirmed the trailer, now carrying three ride-on lawn tractors, was in fact the stolen one and followed at a distance while awaiting backup as the vehicle was driven toward Carr’s Landing. When the officer noticed the vehicle’s tires were smoking, possibly from a mechanical problem, he tried to pull the truck over, but was not successful. The officer instead backed off, said Holmes, and broadcast information about the stolen vehicles to Vernon RCMP. Vernon officers observed the vehicle, stolen from Alberta, on Commonage Road and set up a spike belt, which was successfully deployed as the truck drove over the belt. “The driver took off from the scene on foot but he was arrested a short time later, just before 5 a.m.,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Raymond Frederick Gilliland, a 37-yearold West Kelowna man, is now charged with possession of stolen property, theft, flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle while disqualified, possession of break-in instruments and two counts of break and enter. —With files from Roger Knox of the Vernon Morningstar, sister newspaper to the Capital News.

ness here and allow companies to create more jobs, thus increasing tax revenues for big ticket items like health and education, Vander Zalm and Delaney pointed to other countries, particularly those in Western Europe, that have similar value-added taxes and the problems many of their economies have. Delaney said there is no guarantee a future government will not raise the HST, again pointing to Europe where he said the average value added tax is now 21 per cent. But while the points made by Vander Zalm and Delaney drew the most applause, some in the crowd were not convinced. “(The debate) reinforced what I was thinking, that generally the HST is a good tax,” said J.P. Poirier, of Kelowna. Another man, who claimed to be a friend of
Vander Zalm’s, was more blunt in his feelings about what he heard from the former premier. “I’ve never heard so much bull shit in my life,” said Walt Weibe, talking about Vander Zalm’s performance, adding he is in favour of the HST. “It’s a fair tax,” said Weibe. Others, however, did not agree. Tisha Kalmanovitch, an NDP candidate for the Kelowna-Lake Country riding in the recent federal election, said the HST hits the poor particularly hard, especially in Kelowna where affordable housing is an issue. She suggested more people are finding it hard to get by. Asked by another audience member if there was any evidence in other jurisdictions where there is an HST that prices have gone down as a re-

But Delaney said because the government is giving HST rebates to some middle and low income families, that is an admission that prices are not dropping.

FORMER B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm speaks out
its processes while we are awaiting the outcome of both the criminal investigations and the internal codes of conduct.” The decision, made by RCMP brass in Ottawa after the commanding officer of the RCMP in B.C. earlier recommended suspending the officer’s pay, came following public criticism about the officer remaining on the payroll after his suspension related to the Tavares case. “I realize that this decision has been a long awaited one for Mr. Tavares and the general public and I appreciate your patience,” said McKinnon.
Geoff Mantler “This incident and these past few months have been difficult and I recognize the impact it (has) had on this community. Despite this, I want to ensure you that the members and employees of Kelowna detachment remain very much dedicat-
ed to their jobs and performing to the standards that the citizens of Kelowna, the management of the RCMP, and I expect.” McKinnon said this is the second time in his decade with the Kelowna RCMP that an officer has had his pay stopped. Mantler’s pay removal comes nearly five months after he was removed from active duty in Kelowna. The 28-year-old was suspended with pay shortly after the Jan. 7 arrest of Tavares, where Mantler was caught on video by Castanet, kicking Tavares in the face while Tavares was on his hands and knees.

While no longer being paid, Mantler is still receiving public funding for his legal defence, pending a review by the commanding officer of RCMP BC, Kelowna Mounties said Monday. In addition to the criminal charges, Mantler is also subject to internal RCMP investigations. Those are complete and awaiting the commanding officer’s recommendations on the process, said McKinnon.

NEWS W $12 MILLION PROJECT
GEID water quality issues addressed Judie Steeves
tion water would cost in the area of $2.5 million in the Ellison area and about
STAFF REPORTER
Tap water the colour of strong tea should be a thing of the past in the Glenmore-Ellison Improvement District two years from now—at a cost of about $12 million. The district received approval this week from Fisheries and Oceans Canada for construction of a pump station to take water from Okanagan Lake instead of its current upland storage reservoirs. The water stored in those reservoirs would then go directly into Okanagan Lake instead of the McKinley Reservoir, and Okanagan Lake water would be pumped into McKinley Reservoir for distribution through the district’s system to both domestic and irrigation customers. Operations manager Darren Schlamp explained these environmental approvals have taken two years, delaying construction by a year, but now it’s expected work on the intake will begin this month and be completed in late 2012. Because the district’s storage reservoirs, Bulman, South and Postill Lakes, are at an elevation of 1,500 to 2,000 metres, rather than higher than that, they suffer from colour as the result of tannins and lignins from the watershed, explained Schlamp. Even in summer, there’s a distinct yellowish look to the GEID tap water, which will be clear once the transition to use of water directly from Okanagan Lake is completed. Instead of 200 units of colour and 15 to 45 NTU (a measure of turbidity or suspended solids), the change to use of Okanagan Lake water should lower that to less than five colour units and .6 NTU. At present, GEID water can be as good as that from Okanagan Lake in winter, but the other three seasons, it’s not that attractive.The district has already completed some
$6 million in the Glenmore part of the district, said Schlamp.

A Water Quality Advisory has been in place in Glenmore since 2006. “GEID’s customers have been waiting patiently for higher quality water and the board of trustees is pleased to announce that the wait is nearly over,� said board chair Bob Fugger. An application to the province for an alternate point of diversion (from a 1931 licence at Manhattan Point) is currently under consideration, but it’s expected it will be approved. The next stage would be a $3 million ultraviolet disinfection system.
Water rates have been increasing in the district since 2008 to begin paying for the improvements and it’s expected they will continue to go up. Electricity costs will go up considerably for the district when it begins pumping water from Okanagan Lake instead of relying on flows from upper reservoirs. As mitigation for construction of the intake, the district is required to pay $190,000, which will go toward restoration work in Mission Creek to improve fish habitat.

Distracted drivers—pay attention
W
hen the provincial government brought in a new law banning the use of hand-held cell phones in 2010, most drivers complied with the law—at first. There was a general recognition that distracted driving was a serious issue. Several high-profile cases had brought out how inattention at the wheel had resulted in deadly consequences, and there was also the feeling that police would be strictly enforcing the new law.
There was added enforcement at first, in an attempt to get the message out that the law had changed. But police have many tasks to do, and much of their attention in the past eight months has been consumed with new drinking and driving laws, which can see drivers with blood alcohol limits of .05 lose their vehicles. It seems that the issue of distracted drivers has been overshadowed by the very few drivers who insist on driving after
having too much to drink. While this a significant issue and leads to terrible consequences, as recently witnessed in Surrey, when an apparently drunk driver struck and killed a popular 22-year-old softball player and coach driving home from practice, it is not the only issue. It seems most people who were using their cell phones while driving have reverted to their old habits. You can see it every day when stopped at a traffic light, or when driving
along the road. In many cases, drivers are using their phones to send text messages or reply to email, which is arguably far more distracting than simply talking on the phone. Surely drivers can learn to either do without them while driving, pull over if a call is coming in or, if they find it absolutely necessary to drive and use the phone, spend a little money and have a hands-free device installed in their vehicles. Is that really too much to ask?

One month later, those same Okanagan residents who understood the Twitter feed’s puppeteering are waking up to a new and altogether more confusing reality—our local politicians trying to capitalize on the attention. While politicians on Parliament Hill may be counselled, if jokingly so, to tweet about their breakfast, by and large the 140-word messages they send tend toward more important information for constituents and even internal debate. Ron Cannan, for example, used his latest posts to provide the new cabinet list and explain the ins and outs of political process. “All bills & motions
are considered defeated when the house dissolved so I will have to reintroduce 601 when the house reconvenes,” he tells @MetroOnSunset. Compare this with Michele Rule’s “quick lunch at the Marmalade Cat Café! Curried Apple Celery Salad— yummy!” and you begin to see the problem. Truth be told, Rule’s eating habits have caused a landslide of quick quips in this newsroom—some on nutritional content (the milkshake picture), others on how she can afford to eat out this much (the mid-week breakfast pic). One posting on Thai food got us all discussing why she tends to top the
expense accounts. But mostly, the never-ending barrage of food-fuelled posts has become one of the inside jokes of our job. (Journalists are supposed to Tweet these incidentally) And there-in lies the punchline for politicians. If your Twitter feed is marketing you as a punchline then is it really doing its job, and more importantly, are you? As a voter and a journalist I can honestly say, keep your Big Macs to yourself, even if it’s trending. This form of politicking is more likely to make the rest of us lose our collective lunch. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Why do governments follow same play book? To the editor: Why the fuss? I don’t see what all the fuss is about with the HST. Everyone knows when the government is going to do something good for us (and big business) it is going to come out of our pockets. I think most people are against the nomenclature: HST. All they have to do is change it to some other term, like STP which would stand for Screw The People. It seems they will go to any length to get it to pass. First they enact it after the election while trying to convince us it was not even on the table prior. Next they keep reiterating that it is good for business. Who’s?
A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference
Certainly not the poor or people on fixed incomes. Now they are trying to sweeten it up by giving us back a one-time payment of our own money, but the tax will be forever. This will cost us millions again to dole out. The Liberals can’t even be forthright with the question on the mail-in vote on this issue. I guess it would be too simple or possibly not so confusing to ask a straight forward question like; Do you approve of the HST? Yes or No. But typically they like to confuse people with ambiguity. If they ran the government like we have to run our households—don’t have huge cost overruns (ie.: convention center); don’t pay out humongous golden hand shakes; don’t keep trying to sell off profitable businesses
like B.C. Rail, B.C. Hydro, the liquor stores, the Coquihalla toll booth; don’t put a retractable roof on an arena where it often rains to benefit the elite who can afford it only to find out you can’t close it when it rains—to name but a few. Without these we wouldn’t even be requiring this tax. They all try to get elected by saying they will be the most honest and open government and listen to the people when they are campaigning, but once they get elected something seems to afflict them with the malady of deafness and they can only pursue their agenda(s) even if the majority of the people are against it.

COMMENTS FROM kelownacapnews.com
B.C.’s tax free day shifted to June 6, thanks to HST To the editor: Re: Our View: Hail Mary HST Pass Might Work, May 27 Capital News. The HST tax is a federally managed tax. Now that the B.C. Liberal government has allowed this tax to become law, by ignoring the electorate’s wishes, it will mean that the federal government will dole out the money to British Columbia. Hence the province gives up the
autonomy of provincial taxation and becomes subservient to the federal government. It will be up to the discretion of the federal government as to what these provinces will receive and when. It will also be used by the feds to whip the provinces into line by withholding the tax when it’s to the fed’s advantage. Not to mention, that in a few years a new provincial value added tax will
be introduced in B.C. and Ontario after the HST has been forgotten by the electorate. Since the HST was passed into law each British Columbian (baby, toddler, child, teenager and adult) is paying a minimum of $443.37 more a year in taxes. British Columbian’s tax free day is now June 6, so each British Columbian works over five months for the government—that’s too
Officer’s ignorance of law no excuse for action To the editor: Guilty RCMP Officer Gets a Break May 29 Capital News. The police across all of Canada always claim that they are subject to a “higher standard” then ordinary citizens. This police officer (Const. Steve Conlon) violated the Criminal Code of Canada. I’ve been in the public arena calling for police/public accountability
for over 40 of my 64 years and I long ago formed an opinion that there never will be any danger that I will succeed in getting police to be accountable! I actually feel a great deal of sadness for younger people because, yearly, it progressively has been getting worse. Think of the excuses the judge issues for what is a forceful break and entry of a dwelling house that is
contrary to the criminal Code. I particularly like that the judge says: “Mr. Conlon had an honest but mistaken belief that he had the authority to enter the residence,” said provincial court judge Edmond De Walle. As if ignorance of the law was some sort of legal defence. Lawoh
much! Canadians have the right to say how their hard earned money is spent and the only way to do that is to allow the electorate to have a binding vote on what taxes are paid and how they will be applied. Should the HST in B.C. be repealed by referendum, the follow up referendum in British Columbia must focus on the electorate having the final approval of any tax submitted by the provincial legislature. We also need
a political process in B.C. which allows registered voters to propose laws which then can be submitted to the electorate for approval by vote after thorough debate by the B.C. electorate. In this time of high technology, the citizens of British Columbia need an easy and effective process to apply checks and balances to laws passed by their provincial government. Proponent

Council dashes RV lot proposal Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
One of the more hotly debated topics in Okanagan tourism revisited city council Monday, when a request to put seven RV lots on a Kelowna farm was denied. Co-owner of Don-ORay vegetables, Satnam Basram, asked council to approve a rezoning amendment that would allow for the installation of RV pads on the Benvoulin Road side of his property. The agri-tourism rooted proposal highlighted the fact Don-O-Ray Vegetables is a legitimate, successful agricultural business and the inclusion of accommodation would meet the requirements of a bylaw passed last year. Before the application even came to council, Basram managed to get the support of city staff
and the Agricultural Advisory Committee, which said it was the “best example of agritourism accommodation that’s been brought forth to date” but that didn’t faze city councillors who focused their attention on the unsightliness of trailer parks on farmland. “I think the visual impact will be horrendous,” said Blanleil. “I think it’s going to look like a quasi-mobile home park on the side of the road. “From an agricultural point of view, I see why you want to do it, but from a visual perspective it’s going to look awful.” That perception found favour with Coun. Robert Hobson, who kickedin that the RV pads would be going on some of the “very best vegetable growing land in the north end of the Valley.”

lowed on a property, the length of stay and several other features in an attempt to keep the practice alive, but contained. And as Coun. Michele Rule pointed out, that was a time they could have created measures to buffer the visual impact of the sites. “We did, as a council, agree to this policy,” Rule said. “I am happy to see this come through this process. Had we had this in the start we would have headed off some of the problems. The proposed area not actively farmed, is it vacant, nor will we be taking out of production.” In the end, however, the motion failed when council split the vote down the middle. Couns. Blanleil, Hobson, Hodge and Mayor Sharon Shepherd were opposed. Couns. Rule, Kevin Craig, Angela Reid were in favour, while Coun. Graeme James abstained due to a conflict of interest.

“The vision we have have for the Benvoulin corridor is not to have a bunch of mobile homes and RV vehicles on the side of the road,” he said. “It doesn’t look like agritourism at all.” Hobson went on to say that he didn’t even agree with the policy that city council came up with last year, to address the proliferation of so-called temporary RV lots. Last year city council was forced to deal with the issue when more than a dozen lots had popped up, largely in Rutland, as a means for financial flagging farmers to make some extra income. Complaints poured in that trees were being destroyed, neighbourhood safety was being compromised and the lots were less about tourism and more about cheap, permanent housing. To get a grasp on the issue, the city formed a bylaw that limited the amount of RV lots al-

Okanagan Lake is just about the best source of water one could hope for, council learned Monday, but Interior Health is still calling for the construction of a water filtration plant, and that will cause a spike in Kelowna water rates next month. “I am a little frustrated that Interior Health insists we plan financially to have it done by a certain date, when we have so many other infrastructure requirements,” said Coun. Robert Hobson, upon learning that the city has to raise user rates to cover off the costs of a future $130 million water filtration plant. While the cost is weighty, it could be put off 10 to 20 years, assuming a deferral application to Interior Health is accepted, but that doesn’t mean rates will stay stagnant. As part of the application the city has to, among other things, lay out its intent to build a financial stash for the project’s eventual construction. Water rates for single family homes will increase by eight per cent, next month and residents of multi-family complexes will pay an extra 11 per cent. Commercial properties will get an extra 13 per cent tacked onto their bills. The increase will amount to $2.64 a month for a single-family account. “This is an extremely complex issue…although it might cost us somewhat now, it has cost implications in that we are saving millions in the future,” said Coun. Graeme James.

ENZO PAAL of the Okanagan Challenge gets his head on the ball in Pacific Coast
Soccer League action against the Vancouver Thunderbirds Saturday night at the Apple Bowl.
Even with three consecutive losses up on the board, there isn’t much Kelly Wolverton would change about his Okanagan Challenge. All three of their Pacific Coast Soccer League defeats have been by a single goal, a fate the head coach says doesn’t match the level of his club’s effort so far this season. “I think we were good enough to win all those games, for sure,” said Wolverton who is in his rookie season as the club’s head coach. “That’s the nature of the game, you hope you get a couple of lucky breaks and when you don’t it can be pretty frustrating. “At the same time it’s encouraging. The guys have played well, we know we can do it, it’s just a matter of finishing the chances we get.”
The Challenge came up short in their homeopening weekend, losing 1-0 on Saturday night at the Apple Bowl to the Vancouver Thunderbirds. Sixteen hours later, Dustin Luck scored in the second half to pull the Challenge into a 1-1 draw, but Surrey United settled the issue Sunday with a goal in the dying minutes for a 2-1 win. “Saturday, it was a hard-fought game, the guys gave it what they had and they were exhausted,” Wolverton added. “Then to come back the next day, in the heat of the day with the same attitude and hard work was pretty impressive. I just hope the guys don’t get deflated. I know they’re smart enough to know how the game works and if you keep pushing, you’ll get rewarded.” The Challenge opened the season with a 2-0 win in Kamloops, but has since
lost single-goal decisionsto Khalsa, the Thunderbirds and Surrey. Part of the club’s downfall has come from a lack of scoring, but it’s not because the team hasn’t been generating of plenty of opportunities. “If we keep creating those chances, they’re going to start going in,” Wolverton added. “As soon as it happens, I feel like this team is going to break loose.” With a week off from PCSL action, the Challenge will host the Tasker Cup this Saturday afternoon, the club’s annual alumni game. Wolverton the week off is welcomed by the Challenge who will play six games over the following three weekends. The Challenge will be on the Island June 11 and 12 to play Victoria and Mid Island. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Eccles takes reins of BCMML Okanagan Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For James Eccles, it was a new and challenging opportunity he couldn’t pass up. As the new head coach of the B.C. Major Midget League’s Okanagan Rockets, the 33-yearold Abbotsford native plans to put his array of experience in the hockey world to good use. “I’m going to be coaching in the Okanagan to help get our young players here prepared for the next level,” said Ec-
James Eccles cles. “It’s all about the development of youth in hockey, both from a skills standpoint, and also the networking and guidance
I’ll be able to give them for future opportunities in the game. James Eccles is here for the city of Kelowna and area. I won’t be arriving at the rink an hour before the games. This responsibility will be a daily procedure.” A former junior player in B.C., Eccles played four seasons at Kent State University. He also coached for three seasons in the NCAA at State University of New York in Brockport, N.Y., he was an assistant coach and director of scouting for the
BCHL’s Westside Warriors in 2008-09, and has also worked with the Penticton Vees. Eccles is currently an instructor at the Hockey Skills Academy for the Central Okanagan school district and is also the director of scouting for the BCHL’s Surrey Eagles. In the off-season Eccles operates small area game-training, and skillspecific sessions in Kelowna. For Eccles, the timing of the new coaching position couldn’t be much
better. “Now considering that this is my home, after years of travelling and seeing the world, this is where my family and I want to be,” he said. “This is a really good age and good time and place for me to take this on. I’m excited.” Eccles spent many hours scouting the midget Rockets last season and likes the foundation that previous coaches and management have laid for the future. He will, not surprisingly, seek to put his own
stamp on the team. “I want to make this the most disciplined and hardworking team with pride that there is anywhere,” Eccles added. “With those three qualities, you can’t help but grow the future for these kids. Working with 15- to 18-year-old players is my focal point and I’m looking forward to helping them move on.” Eccles takes over the coaching duties from Brandon West who left to join the staff of the Westside Warriors. West re-
placed Misko Antisin early last season when Antisin departed for a coaching job in Switzerland. In 2010-11, the Rockets posted a 15-19-6 record to finish eighth in the BCMML. The Rockets will hold training camp in August, but the search for prospective talent for 201112 is already under way.

Owls face Van College at provincials The Kelowna Owls will battle Vancouver College Wednesday afternoon in consolation round action at the B.C. high school boys AAA rugby championship in Abbotsford. The 10th-ranked
Owls slipped to the bottom side of the 16-team draw as they were soundly defeated on Saturday in Kamloops in the provincial playoff opener, 35-5 by the No. 7 Yale Lions. “We were out muscled by a big, athletic and real-
ly skilled team,” said Owls coach Dave Marfleet. “The boys just aren’t used to playing at that level.” Injuries again played a factor for the Owls who lost Leighton Gabbidon to a broken leg part way through the opening half.
Kids Summer Camps
KSS is already without Kyle Patchell and Spencer Bergen due to injury. Despite their opening round loss, the Owls are still in the running for a top-10 B.C. finish. “We’ve got our work cut out for us,” Marfleet added. “The injuries have made it tough but we’ll see what kind of heart the guys have got. We still have a shot at top 10, so we’ll see if we can do that.”
OKM HUSKIES
The No. 12-ranked Okanagan Mission Secondary Huskies will take on Sentinel today in the lower half of the draw at the B.C. boys AA rugby championship being held in Abbotsford . The Huskies dropped their provincial playoff opener by a score of 35-5 to Vernon’s Clarence Fulton Maroons Saturday in Kamloops.

Raiders douse Flames The Kelowna Raiders bolstered their lead atop the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League Monday night with their eighth win in nine games. Tyler French scored three goals and added an assist as the Raiders downed the South Okanagan Flames 8-5 in Penticton. Kelowna peppered the Flames netminder all night long, including with 25 shots in the third period
as the Raiders broke free from a 5-5 deadlock after 40 minutes. “They were missing two of their top guys and we came out flying,” said Raiders head coach Travis Wray. “Their goalie stood on his head to keep them in it, then in the third we turned it on, and it was lights out. The guys played well.” Brendan Urban, JorSee Jr. Raiders A16
We’re all Canucks Falcons from A13 “We’re all Canucks and this could be one of the biggest celebrations in B.C.,” says Faclons general manager Mark Nonis. “They could be the first Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup in 17 years and we’re the only Canadian team in the WCL. It just makes sense, especially the fact we’re hosting a suburb of Vancouver— the Langley Blaze. We know our fans are hockey
fans too, so we want to encourage them to support the Canucks on Friday, then come watch the Falcons on Saturday night... sounds like a great weekend of sports to me.” The Falcons season will open the 2011 season on the road in Bellingham this Friday night. The club will then travel to Wenatchee for a three-game series against the defending champs, before their home opener June 11.

JARED VANDERZWAAG of the Okanagan Athletics Club gets set to unleash at javelin throw at the Centennial track and field meet held recently in Kamloops.
Competitive season ahead The Okanagan Athletics Club athletes, particularly some of the youngest competitors, got off to a promising start to their competitive season at the Kamloops Centennial Meet over the May long weekend. OAC athletes brought home 43 gold, 32 silver, and 23 bronze medals. The junior development athletes were well rrepresented with 14 athletes medalling in at least one of their events, including Kezia Kellet, Taya Hanson, Kayt Merraw, and Maja Murray. The young OAC athletes dominated the discuss event with Kennedy Bollhorn, Kolby Kneller, and Kassisy Mitchell all winning gold. Julia Negebaur, Scott McKinnon and Kezia Kellet all took silver. Jannae Huston placed fourth in discus. Taryn O’Neill won her 1000m event and placed second in the 600m. Kendra Corman won gold tin the 300m and placed
second in the 12-year-old 100m event. Sadie TaylorParks won bronze in long jump and placed fourth in both the 200m and 300m events. Kolby Kneller, Bryce Manders, Scott McKinnon and Brendan Siemens won the gold in the 12-year-old boys 4x100m relay. The senior athletes also competed well as Aaron Stroda brought down three meet records in shot put, discus and javelin. James Turner set new meet records in the junior shot put and javelin. The girls 4x100m relay team made up of Katie Maryschuk, Keely WattsWatling, Amber Huggan, and Saskia Kowallik won gold, as did the boys 4x400m relay team, made up of Sam Taylor-Parks, Davis Hughes-Geekie, Adam Murray, and Daniel McKinnon. Other medals won included Tanna Northrup’s silver in the hammer throw, Katrina Ledding’s bronze in shot put and Nick Tran’s two sil-
vers in shot put and javelin. Jared and Megan Vanderzwaag took six medals between them in the throws. Megan won gold in the discus, silver in the javelin and shot put, and a bronze in the hammer throw. Jared won silver in the hammer throw and bronze in the shot put. Noemi Stroda took home a trio of silver medals in shot put, discus and hammer throw. On the track, Keely Watts-Watling, Saskia Kowallik, Sam Taylor-Parks, and Aaron Stroda all medalled in their hurdle events. Adam Murray and Davis Hughes-Geekie each won their 1200m races. Katie Maryschuk and Daniel MacKinnon each took silver in the 400m sprint. Amber Huggan won silver in both, the youth 100m and 200m events. Coaches Beth Parks, Peter Maryschuk, Verena Stroda, and Pat Sima-Ledding were pleased with the efforts of the OAC athletes.
Raiders gain momentum After a slow start to the season, the Kelowna Raiders are hitting their stride in the Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League. The local senior men’s tsquad has rebounded from a 0-2 start to even its rercord at 3-3 and is now to within two points of firstplace Armstrong. Sporting their new red uniforms, the Raiders fed off the home crowd on Friday night at Memorial Arena to post a 10-5 win over the Shamrocks. Pho Heng led the
Raiders with a three goals and two assists and Luke Bailey added two goals and two assists as Kelowna entertained the fans with quick and efficient ball movement. Single goals came from Jared MacLennan, Owen Barski, Jordan Innes, Brody Daft and Cody Evans. The Raiders penalty killing unit was effective, Erik Wray was solid in goal, while Barski led the a staunch defensive effort by Kelowna. Raiders coach Doug
Manning said his club’s turnaround over the last several weeks all started between the pipes. “Our goaltending has been very good since Erik Wray has come back,” said Manning. “The guys are buying into the system, they’re working hard and I think they’re finally starting to gel. It just took a little time.” The Raiders return to action this Friday night when they host the Kamloops Rattlers.

Holes in 1; Palahniuk continues winning ways With the golf season nicely underway, some local linksters have fired shots of their lifetime. Kelowna residents David Armond and Kenan Yesilcimen both fired hole-in-ones at Black Mountain Club this year. On April 1 there was no joke as Armond fired an ace on the fourth hole. His eight iron drained into
the hole from 180 yards and was witnessed by Brent Wizinsky, Ian Bjarnason and Rob Bjarnason. Earlier in the season, on Wednesday, May 25, Yesilcimen aced the seventh hole using a 5 iron on the 169 yard hole. His hole-in-one was witnessed by Bob Karulovic, Albert Karulovic and Bill Hammett.
Then on Saturday, May 28 Kelowna’s Ian Bjarnson aced the seventh hole using his 6 iron on the 176-yard par 3. His hole-in-one was witnessed by Colton Preissl, Derek Ryder and Travis Sutherland. And Linda Harrison aced the fourth hole on Monday, May 30 using a rescue club on the 118-
yard par 3. The hole-inone was witnessed her husband, John Harrison. If you have a hole in one that you want to talk about or witnessed, send the details and a picture if you have one to kparnell@kelownacapnews. com.

A’s get split with Chiefs
FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTOR
OKANAGAN A’S second baseman Rees Weninger tries to make a play on Fraser Valley baserunner Jovan Ewusie in B.C. Premier Baseball League action Saturday at Elks Stadium.
Down payments are for high value items...
The Okanagan Athletics kept the upper half of the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings well within their sights after splitting a weekend series with the Fraser Valley Chiefs. At 9-14, the A’s are in 11th place in the very tight PBL, but just two games out of sixth spot. On Saturday at Elks Stadium, the Chiefs scored a run the top of the eighth inning to edge the A’s 3-2. Okanagan forced the extra inning after scoring twice in the bottom of the seventh. Jake Maters (4-1) suffered his first loss of the season. Game 2 also went to extras, but this time the A’s prevailed 8-7 in 10 innings. Ryo Shishido scored the game winner on a balk. Brett McLure, Dillon Kakoskhe and Brandon Sonnenberg had two RBIs apiece and Tanner Collins earned the win in relief. On Sunday, the Chiefs won the opener 12-1. Okanagan rebounded
in the series finale with an 8-4 win. Nolan Handley had three hits and scored three times, James Ward had three RBIs and Colin Currie drove in two runs. Jeff May tossed a complete-game six-hitter for his second win. This weekend, the A’s travel to Victoria for four games against the Eagles (6-13).
JUNIOR A’S
Like the parent club, the junior Athletics managed a split in BCJBL action. On Saturday at Lombardy, Okanagan two took games from the North Shore Twins 3-2 in eight innings, and 3-2. Eric McGinn tossed a three-hitter in Game 2, while Connor Gallacher had two hits and scored twice. On Sunday, the Twins turned the tables on the A’s with 7-3 and 5-2 wins. The A’s (9-15) will host the White Rock Tritons for two games Saturday and two Sunday.

Because of injuries and other commitments, the Owls will be missing four players at provincials but coach Arnar Bernhardsson is confident his team will be ready play. “In order to win we must come first in our pool, which I think we can do. If we play up to our potential over all five games we could be in the final,� said Bernhardsson. “We are only taking 19 players out of 23 as we have had some season ending injuries for some players and others can’t go for a variety of reasons.

NEWS W OKANAGAN BASIN WATER BOARD
Water quality and quantity tackled with project grants Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
From monitoring creeks to planning how water is to be used, from improving its quality to reducing consumption, this year’s Okanagan Basin Water Board grants are aimed at making a difference to water in the valley this year and in the future. Although it would have cost more than $700,000 to fund all the applications, only $300,000 was available in the program, so the board had to be selective, choosing 19 projects around the valley. In the Central Okanagan, grants were approved for three Kelowna projects, one each for West Kelowna and Peachland and one regional district project, as well as the Okanagan Wetlands Regeneration Alliance with the Okanagan Greens Society doing an inventory and map of wetland areas in and around Lake Country. The latter $20,000 project includes remediation of wetlands and a public outreach program for public education on their role in maintaining water quality. Water conservation is the aim of a grant for $20,000 for the Okanagan Xeriscape Association to promote water-smart landscaping with an updated website for education and reference at okanaganxeriscape.org; a demonstration rain garden, a project encouraging strata complexes to convert to xeriscaping and a pilot rebate program for homeowners to move to xeriscaping. Peachland received $27,500 to update a hydrometric network monitoring station to allow better management of flows required for fish, while West Kelowna received $22,500 to create a master water systems plan, incorporating the needs of the five recently-merged Now you can use the Internet to add your own non-profit event to the Capital News Stuff to Do.
water utilities and provide improved water conservation and source protection. The regional district received $20,800 for a silvopasture pilot project, integrating livestock and forest production with conservation practices
and water stewardship. It will focus on risks identified in the source water assessment plan for Oyama and Vernon Creeks. The City of Kelowna will create a riparian management plan for Mill Creek with $25,000, including identifying areas
in need of protection and restoration, and ways to minimize stormwater runoff. As well, it will identify areas for land acquisition for compensation for damage. A $20,000 grant for the city will allow SHIM mapping of streams, wet-
lands and springs while another $20,000 grant will result in a water conservation manual for municipal parks and green spaces. Assessments will be completed of projects in the past six years to reduce water used in city parks and green spaces. The re-
sulting report will benefit all Okanagan municipalities. Melissa Tesche, grant administrator for the OBWB said there were a lot of stand-out proposals, but said they look for projects which promote the idea of One Valley, One
Water. Since the grant program was started in 2006, nearly $2 million has allowed 115 projects to be completed that help conserve and improve water for all residents in the Okanagan basin, said Tesche.

W ENTREPRENEURS
Wine industry cultivating women entrepreneurship O
ver the past several weeks, as often happens to me in my journeys throughout the Central Okanagan, people invariably draw to my attention something or someone with a genuine entrepreneurial outlook. In my column this week, I found myself overwhelmed with this particular honey wine saga. I was encouraged to try the product and meet the entrepreneur who brought it altogether in a short period of time. This story is the beginning of a series of entrepreneurial tales in the coming weeks that excite my belief in our Okanagan people. We talk a good talk about what we as a region are accomplishing collab-
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young oratively, and yet I continue to wonder why the province, some municipalities and a handful of community-based organizations are still not getting the subject of entrepreneurial development. There seems to be a propensity to question everything and do nothing attitude among a cadre of nayayers, when all they need to do if they care at all about socio-economic development in the region and our amazing province is conduct some research, i.e. stop, look and listen
would be a good start. A few short years ago, the National Entrepreneurship Week began in November as a test in the USA and Britain. Today, more than 100 nations of the world participate with the Canadian Youth Business Foundation demonstrating exceptional leadership for our nation. Many countries have entrepreneurship policies and strategies as do several of our Canadian provinces along with provincial ministers of innovation and entrepreneurship. More books, magazine articles, university and college programs along with a plethora of entrepreneurship and technology centres have been created globally— all highlighting that entrepreneurship is here to
stay. Now, in our believed Okanagan region, one has only to “lift the lid” to experience the beautiful examples of the genuine entrepreneurial spirit. So with that, let me tell you a story today about one of those entrepreneurs. My journey to try honeywine led me to the winery “Queen Bee,” Judie Barta, originator and owner of Meadow Vista Honey Wines, located in West Kelowna since 2009. Barta and I had actually met previously at an orientation workshop for the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. Over coffee, Barta reminded me of that occurrence, and of talking to me then about another entrepreneur experience she had embarked on called
Mermaid Boat Cleaning. For this business startup, she had assembled a team of females to clean boats of all sizes inside and externally. I can recall at that time her tenacity and conviction for Mermaid’s business potential. So, as I had never heard of hence nor tasted honey wine—this was going to be a treat and capture my interest. Meadow Vista Honey Wines is an organic winery that Barta created with her love for organic food and wine, a dream in the making she had been visualizing for the past 15 years. Meadow Vista is positioned and certainly dedicated to being the Okanagan Valley’s premier organic meadery and Canada’s best selling producer of organic sparkling honey wine. Her story begins in Coburg, Ont., where she was born with two sisters and a stepfather who operated a Canadian Tire in that Ontario region. Barta quickly told me she began her journey within the world of self-employment during Grade 6 when she worked both in orchards and for her family’s Canadian Tire store. Over the years, Barta honed her business skills after high school in the banking and retail industries. Barta formally entered the entrepreneurial world
in 1990 in Belleville, Ont., taking out a small loan to start and during that year. The ever- adventurous Barta moved west to Banff and had her baptism in the wine industry, becoming quickly entrenched in the magical world of the science of wine. From 1990 to 1993, Barta enhanced her knowledge base and work experiences working in the food and beverage industry in Victoria, moving to the valley in 1993 and joining up with the godfather of the Okanagan wine industry—Sumac Ridge Vineyards &Winery. The period of 1994 to ’96 offered significant change to this entrepreneur’s life when circumstances prompted her to receive her accreditation as a massage therapist to complement yet another entrepreneurial dream —to create two health and fitness spas here in the valley. In 2003, this amazing young entrepreneur built the building to house her new spa ventures while Mermaid Boat Cleaners was turned to a franchising entity in 2008, allowing Barta to focus into the realm of corporate wellness consulting. Through all the journeys of her youth leading to her ultimate entrepreneurial venture in the wine industry, a meeting with Dr. Alan Marks
was the final step in helping her to create Meadow Vista honey wine products and move Barta into her true entrepreneurial existence here in the valley. Meadow Vista honey wine is a joy to experience, wonderful award winning honey wine products that are today being sold across Canada and into the U.S. She even has enquiries from Asia moving her forward. She shared with me the broader scope of her honey wine dream— the building and completion of her honey farm, new winery and wines hop along with a unique food and wine experience, all contained within the confines of a beautiful country inn right here in our midst of West Kelowna. Barta shared with me a tasting of three of her honey wine products, and I never would have guessed that honeywine could be so enjoyable and satisfying. And, with no sulphates added, it’s a healthy wine to boot. I encourage you to view the winery’s website at www.meadowvista.ca. and make plans for a visit to “Queen Bee Judie.” Trust me, you won’t get stung.

BUSINESS
Navigating Canada’s tax code for business partnerships P artnerships are much like sole proprietorships with some slightly different reporting rules. The Canada Revenue Agency defines a partnership as the relationship between persons who carry on a business in common with the belief that they will make a profit. A partnership is a way of doing business without needing to incorporate. Both partnerships and sole proprietorships need to be registered with the Registrar of Companies. The process is simple and can be carried out by Community Futures here in Kelowna, or via regular mail to the Registrar of Companies in Victoria. Partnerships will automatically be assigned a partnership number by CRA when they file their first T5013 return. A partnership pays taxes similar to a sole proprietorship whereby each person of the partnership would pay tax on their share of the income of the partnership that year at their own personal tax rates. The income tax
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka needs to be paid whether or not the actual income was received in cash or kept in the partnership. A partnership is formed by each party investing funds into the partnership and this investment is called their capital account. A partner may withdraw or add funds to his/ her capital account at any time during the year without incurring any tax consequences. A partnership needs to have a legal document called a partnership agreement drawn up between the parties. This document would need to address the conduct of the partners, such as how much capital each partner needs to keep in their capital account, what happens with the addition of a partner and what
would cause the partnership to be wound up and how that would be accomplished. A partnership is not recognized as a separate legal entity so any debts and liabilities incurred by the partnership are the responsibility of the partners. This has the effect of putting all your personal assets at risk, including your house and personal savings. Partners are also fully liable, jointly and individually, for debts incurred by each other while acting in the course of the business regardless of their share of the partnership. There is also the danger of being considered involved in a partnership even though there has not been a formal partnership agreement drawn up. A sample of the tests that would need to be satisfied are if there is any property owned jointly, if both names are on any documentation and if there are sharing of profits and losses. A partnership must also keep complete records that will allow CRA
to verify income or losses and other amounts allocated to the partners much the same way that a sole proprietorship is required to keep records. These records need to be kept for six years plus the current year before they can be destroyed. There are a number of calculations required in a partnership that are not required for a sole proprietor or a corporation. One example would be the calculation of a partner’s at risk amount. This amount would be different from the original investment into the partnership and needs to be calculated and reported each year. There has always been a legislative requirement for a partnership to file an information return called a T5013. This became a great burden on operating partnerships, so CRA developed an administrative policy that stated that this report was not required if you had five or fewer partners, none of which was another partnership. What is not evident on the CRA webpage when
a search on partnerships is done is that this T5013 return filing is mandatory if one of the partners is a corporation. The requirements are explained in detail on page 11 of the T4068 Guide for the R5013 Partnership Information Return. This guide has not been rewritten since 2006, however, there is also a 2010 supplement to the guide for additional reference. Compiling the T5013 return includes the generation of the T5013 slips for the partners so that they can claim the partnership income in their personal tax returns at their personal rates of tax. In 2011, CRA is changing the filing requirements. The change will affect the partnerships that have a 2011 year end after Jan. 1, 2011. The change will be to base the filing of the partnership information return on financial thresholds and types of partners rather than the number of partners. The requirements are to file the return if the
partnership has an absolute value of more than $2 million (revenues plus expenses) or more than $5 million in assets or if the partnership is a tiered partnership, or if one of the partners is a corporation, or if the partnership has invested in flow through shares, or if the
Minister of National Revenue has requested that a return be filed. Gabriele Banka is a Certified General Accountant and the owner of Banka & Company Inc.

W MUSICIANSHIP
Duo grabbed early by guitar Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
If you develop a real passion for an instrument when you’re young, you tend to excel at it. So says Canadian guitar legend-in-the-making Don Ross who, along with his partner Brooke Miller, will play The Creekside Theatre this weekend in what they describe as a very casual performance. “Very often we’re still looking at each other saying what do you feel like playing while we’re up there?” said Ross. Ross made history in 1996 when he became the first person to win the prestigious U.S. National
Fingerstyle Guitar Championship for the second time, after his first win in 1988. It was quite the feat, particularly when one considers the humble beginnings from which this talent was born. Influenced by people like Bruce Cockburn, Jimmie Paige and Eric Clapton, Ross remembers his sister returning from boarding school one year with a very beat up 1940s Stella guitar and clarinet. The nuns at the school had received funding for new instruments and were getting rid of the rest. “The guitar was sexier to me than the clarinet,” said Ross, who admits
his older brother initially caught on much faster than he did. The self-taught pair were soon mimicking the greats, just as Brooke Miller would do when she started to learn. Miller’s mother is actually a musician, though her father gave her her first guitar. Add a little Ani DiFranco and The Pretenders to her Cockburn influence and one can see she’s a chip off…well, probably many old blocks, whether the parental-type or the husband-type. This tour has them both showcasing CDs— for Ross Breakfast for Dogs, and Shake it Off in Miller’s case. Ross

is known for his instrumentation whereas Miller is known more for her lyrics, though she didn’t start writing love songs until quite recently. You Can See Everything is her first love song and one she says she was inspired by Miller. “This song embodied my entire spirits being lifted by this person’s love,” she said. “Everyone should be able to experience a love like that in their life and aren’t we lucky to have something like this.” Hopefully it will also carry her through the extensive touring this Maritime pair have planned.

ENTERTAINMENT W CD REVIEWS
Paisley not on the lookout for crossover stardom BRAD PAISLEY: THIS IS COUNTRY MUSIC (ARISTA)
This is country star Brad Paisley’s first new studio album in two years which is quite a stretch when you consider most country acts release at least one album a year. But Paisley released a two-CD live and studio ‘best of’ album, cleverly titled Hits Alive, last year which brings us to this generous 15-track, hour-plus, seventh studio album. The CD title is a giveaway that Paisley isn’t searching for any crossover success with This Is Country, as Paisley consolidates his large fan base with a knowing sense that country isn’t as popular as it was a decade or so ago with huge mainstream acts like Shania Twain and Garth Brooks. Anyway, this is a very good country album where Paisley covers a lot of ground from the power ballad duets with Carrie Underwood on Remind Me and the more mellow duet Love Her Like She’s Leaving with Don
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell Henley. Paisley has earned a big radio hit with his retro tribute to the band Alabama (who enjoyed a lot of crossover success) titled Old Alabama where he has the band sing along to the breezy song that has lots of references to the revered semi-retired act. The strangest tracks here are a Dick Dale style reverbed-up, country-surf song Working On A Tan (with Sheryl Crow singing back-up) and the Spaghetti Western instrumental simply titled Eastwood where Clint E. himself introduces the tune and whistles The Good, The Bad and The Ugly bits. Finally, Larry The Cable guy even grabs the mic for some backup on the novelty song Camoflage.
Fans may want to note that Brad Paisley’s book Diary Of A Player “how my musical heroes made a guitar man out of me” is due this fall. Till then this is a very satisfying new album that will no doubt make its debut at the No.1 spot on the country charts this week. B
CHRISTOPHER CROSS: DOCTOR FAITH (EAGLE RECORDS)
It has been an interesting career ride for Chris-
topher Cross. No one had more success than him in the early ’80s when he won a Grammy for Best Song, Sailing, and an Academy Award for his soundtrack song Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do). Since then Cross has struggled but never quit as a recording artist. Doctor Faith is the 60-yearold singer/songwriter’s first new album in 12 years and it has plenty to recommend it even if it sounds dated back to the
soft rock music of yesteryear. There are strong songs here but none of them stick to you like crazy glue as old hits like the ones mentioned above and other smashes such as All Right, Never Be The Same and Ride Like The Wind that all charted at or near the top. Cross has had lots of time to think things over and there are several topical themes on Doctor Faith that don’t exactly punish the listener with demagoguery. There is pleasant and easy going Adult Alternative soft pop here, highlighted by the Michael McDonald title track duet along with plenty of sensitive singer/ writer songs. It is amazing just how poorly Cross’ career has gone since that magical early ’80s success but old fans might want to check out this solid, new album. B-
FOSTER THE PEOPLE: TORCHES (SONY)
No nation hypes new bands like the U.K. and
hence the add-on sticker to my copy of this debut from Foster The People that reads “THE soon to be summer anthem” from the influential magazine NME. Indeed, the song Pumped Up Kicks is a cool slice of indie technopop and unique on this album as it is the only one where it is played in total by band leader Mark Foster who had listed this song on the Internet before getting signed to a major label. This tune is an instant ear worm but there are a few other solid songs on Torches, including the featured songs Houdini with its trumpet accents, and Helena Beat with its strong and woozy but danceable techno hooks. As mentioned, all of the other tracks here feature additional players but the multi-instrumentalist Foster really doesn’t seem to need the other people as he is most of the show on this interesting disc of indie-psych, techno-pop. Time will tell if Pumped Up Kicks will
reach lofty heights but it does in some way remind me of Gnarls Barkley’s one-off hit Crazy. B-
AC/DC: LIVE AT RIVER PLATE (COLUMBIA)
The mighty Sony Corp. seems awfully happy with the enormous success of this new AC/ DC concert DVD. I have received numerous emails bragging about the band’s huge sales where this is the No.1 selling DVD in no less than 17 countries—and I mean numero uno in DVD sales of all genres including movies and not just music videos. The 20-track disc has all AC/DC’s big favourites taped in hi-def using 32 cameras in front of 200,000 fans in Buenos Aires over three nights. There are also a few extras on this two hour 20 minute disc, but the real highlights are the veteran band’s magnetic performances. B+ bwcmitchell@shaw.ca
Artists, advocates, activists collective launches Saturday
t
ouch. Collective launches their very first event at Habitat this Saturday, June 4. touch. collective is a collective of artists, advocates and activists who are inspired by creativity, provoked by truth and engaged towards action. Their first event will feature a variety of art forms from local and performing artists. Live music will feature artists Ryan McAllister, Thomas Kjorven and DJ Trask. touch. events also aim to raise awareness and give something back to the community, so for this event all proceeds will be donated to the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. To give you an inside look at touch. collective, I chatted with founder Sheri McConnell about what we can expect from their first event as well as future events. Q: What was your motivation behind starting touch. collective? SM: A few friends came together with a desire to create gatherings accessible to all which would provide a safe space to be inspired by creativity, provoked by truth and then give voice for cause to be engaged.
Q: Your events are a celebration of a variety of art forms. Can you give us a sneak peak at what we’ll be seeing at the first touch. event? SM: There is a running theme for every event which will thread to the chosen cause of that evening. The June 4th event is around the ‘power of your story’. We will reflect a variety of stories throughout the evening in a vibrant array of artistic mediums and everyone who comes will be invited to participate in the flow of the evening. The individual story will connect to the collective and the collective story formed that night will become a community story. Q: What kind of opportunities do you provide for local/touring artists? SM: One of our hopes is that this event will grow from a grassroots perspective. We are not looking for a great talent or big name to make this event happen. This is going to grow from a relational lens, relationships create
trust and trust allows the journey. From this place, collaborative opportunities will be available for artists. Q: How can artists get involved with your events? SM: They can check out our website, www. touchcollective.com. Q: What is the main thing that you want to get across to attendees at your events? SM: Our events are more than a show, they are an experience. When you touch creativity, you touch beauty, which in turn has the ability to open up our souls in ways that nothing else can. Our culture and society is looking for purpose and meaning, when your soul connects to beauty it infuses that place of hope which then, in turn, causes one to look outside ourselves and become a catalyst to the rest of humanity around us. The choices we make today create the future for tomorrow. touch. hope touch. beauty touch. the soul.
Tickets for the touch. collective event at Habitat, 248 Leon Ave. on June 4 are $15 and are available online at estore. thehabitat.ca. Proceeds from the evening will be donated to the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with the show
getting underway at 8 p.m. For more information on the event visit www.touchcollective.com or www.thehabitat.ca. Pyper Geddes is the general manager of Habitat and an A-OK contributor. www.awesomeokanagan.com

CAPTAIN GARRY GEORGE MCNARLAND
February 1951 - May 2011 Garry was born on February 1, 1951 to Theresa and George McNarland in McCreary, Manitoba. Garry passed away at home in Costa Rica on May 19, 2011. Left to mourn his passing are his beloved wife Brenda, four legged campanions Freddy, Frankie and Spooky. He is also survived by his mum Theresa, sisters Carol (Alan), Joyce, brothers Dale (Penny), Neil (Diana), Ken (Sandra) as well as many cousins, nieces and
nephews and his very good friend Orlando. He was predeceased by his father George. Garry was always interested in aviation and at a very young age took a course to be a Steward for Trans Air North and mum recalls that he also had to learn how to deliver babies. Later he took flying lessons in Churchill and the folks helped him buy a plane so he could log his hours. Garry’s work took him many places including Red Lake and Vancouver. He started working for Kelowna FlightCraft in 1979. When he was diagnosed with cancer and grounded from flying he and Brenda moved to Costa Rica, something they had planned to do anyway when Garry retired. He and Brenda made many friends, rode their motor cycles and swam in the ocean making the most of the time they had left together. Condolences may be sent to the family through Dale McNarland at 465 Donhauser Road, Kelowna BC, V1X 3G2 or a donation made in Garry’s name to the charity of your choice.

Zellstoff Celgar Limited Partnership Complaint Regarding the Failure of FortisBC and Celgar to Complete a General Service Agreement and FortisBC’s Application of Rate Schedule 31 Demand Charges
NOTICE OF COMPLAINT AND PROCEEDING THE COMPLAINT On March 25, 2011 Zellstoff Celgar Limited Partnership (Celgar) filed a complaint with the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission) relating to the failure of FortisBC and Celgar to complete a General Service Agreement (GSA), and to FortisBC’s application of Rate Schedule 31 demand charges (Complaint). In the Complaint Celgar states negotiations between it and FortisBC to complete a GSA have been unsuccessful to date. In its Complaint Celgar seeks: a Commission determination that FortisBC retroactively adjust Celgar’s RS 31 invoices to a Billing Demand of 8,000 kVA (8 MVA); and the Commission’s assistance in establishing a GSA with FortisBC and/or establishing a process whereby the terms of a GSA could be negotiated. Celgar seeks a GSA that includes: a GBL of 1.5 MW or another level as may be established in accordance with applicable regulatory parameters; service at a rate based upon rolled-in costs; a contract demand of at least 8 MVA that is equal to Celgar’s mill load less the established GBL; and access to non-firm power above the contract demand. THE REGULATORY PROCESS Commission Order G-101-11 established a written hearing process to address the Complaint in accordance with the Regulatory Timetable attached as Appendix B to that Order. This hearing process is intended to provide other ratepayers and affected parties with an opportunity to comment on the potential implications for them if Celgar’s requests in the Complaint were allowed. REGISTERING TO PARTICIPATE Persons who wish to actively participate in this proceeding should register as Interveners with the Commission in writing or by email by June 7, 2011. Interveners will receive a copy of the Complaint as well as all correspondence and filed documents. An email address should be provided if available. Persons not expecting to actively participate, but who have an interest in the proceeding, should register as Interested Parties with the Commission in writing or by email by June 7, 2011 and identify their interest in the Complaint. Interested Parties will receive a copy of the Complaint and a copy of the Commission’s Decision when issued. All submissions and/or correspondence received from active participants or the general public relating to the Complaint will be placed on the public record and posted to the Commission’s website. PUBLIC INSPECTION OF DOCUMENTS The Complaint and all proceeding documents are available for inspection at the following locations: FortisBC Inc. Suite 100, 1975 Springfield Road Kelowna, BC, V17 7V7 Telephone: 1-866-436-7847
