Raucous crowd sends a message Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER
Noisy crowds spilled out onto the street from the tiny Lakeview Heights Community Hall on Tuesday night, as opponents showed up en masse to express frustrations at the District of West Kelowna for re-opening old wounds. “They were lined up across the street to get in. Some of them were very passionate,” said Lakeview Heights Community Association president Rita Milne. The residents packed the community association’s annual general meeting to let guest speakers, West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater and chief administrative officer Jason Johnson, know that they were opposed to the potential opening of Menu or McCallum Road to a new subdivision on the south side of Mount Boucherie. “I brought my old
school bell with me when I heard this mob was coming and I just rang it furiously and said, ‘Now, everyone just calm down, I want to see some respect,’” said Milne. Milne said the tiny community hall, which holds only about 85 people, was standing room only. To calm the crowd, which she estimated at 120 people, she agreed to move the road issue forward on the agenda. “I didn’t find out all this was happening until the night before, until someone told me a survey was going around and that a bunch of residents were planning on coming to the meeting. I wish I had known sooner so I could have booked a bigger venue.” During the ensuing discussion on the matter, Findlater assured residents that the municipality would hold an open house

Early bloom for fruit trees does present a potential hazard Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Blossoms on lo-
cal fruit trees are at least a week early this year, which makes orchardists nervous.
Because they’re at their most vulnerable to cold temperatures once they begin to bloom, an
early bloom means seasonal frost could cause damage. Bud damage means a
smaller crop, or crop losses to some extent. Tree fruit specialist Jim Campbell, with the
agriculture ministry, says apricots in the south of the valley were in full bloom a week ago, and typically,
they’re in bloom the first week in April. See Hazard A7

Non-profits start initiative to help children Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
An array of non-profit organizations has banded together to jointly invest in projects benefiting local children. Success by 6 co-ordinator Carol Ellison said the Funding Really Early Development (FRED) group brings together local foundations, business and government in a partnership to jointly invest in projects that will help children get a better start in life. “If we can have total community engagement in problem-solving at all levels—among funders, agencies and families—then we can get at the root cause of why 25 per cent of children are not ready to succeed in school by the time they enter kindergarten.” Ellison pointed out that every child who enters kindergarten is surveyed for 120 items across the whole spectrum of early development. These range from developmental characteristics to communication skills and general knowledge of their community. Ellison said a quarter of the children surveyed are vulnerable in at least one of those areas, a deficiency that has shown itself over several years. “It’s not just last year’s trend,” she said. The FRED partnership encompasses the Central Okanagan Foundation, the Okanagan Kids Care Fund, the Colin and Lois Pritchard Foundation, the United Way and Success by 6. Ellison said Kelowna has never had a partnership like this before. She noted that historically in the area, not-for-profit agencies have focused primarily on chasing money. Ellison said the partnership allows the agencies to share knowledge and expertise. United Way chief executive officer Harry Grossmith said the partnership represented an opportunity for the organization. He pointed out that non-profit agencies are often chasing the same funding stream. He added that the partnership allows the agencies to collaborate and focus on helping kids. Central Okanagan Foundation executive director Leanne Hammond-Komori said the foundation has been looking at collaborative models over the years. Hammond-Komori noted the ease of having the groups involved working together has to do with the personalities at the helm of the various organizations. “This is not an ego-driven group,” she said. She pointed out that the children are the ones to benefit from the partnership. “If you can make a difference with kids before they hit school, it’s going to affect their whole life.”

Wildfire seminar held for public Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Residents of Kelowna and West Kelowna have already had some lessons in wildfire in the last few years, but there’ll be another one next week that everyone is invited to attend. Wildfire 101: Are You Ready for the 2010 Fire Season? is the title of an evening presentation for the public being organized to kick off the 62nd annual meeting of the Association of B.C. Forest Professionals in Kelowna. Last summer’s forest fires on the Westside forced almost 14,000
people to flee their homes, and three homes were destroyed, while in 2003, far more people were evacuated from their homes, and more than 230 were destroyed in Kelowna by the Okanagan Mountain Park wildfire. This year is shaping up similarly to that which produced last summer’s dry conditions in the forests around the Okanagan. A forum on preparedness for wildfire will be held Wednesday, April 7, 7:30 p.m., at the Capri Hotel. Beginning at 6 p.m., the public is invited to tour the Forestry Education Van at the Capri
with guides from the Interior Logging Association and Canadian Women in Timber. It’s suitable for youngsters of all ages as well as adults. Speakers at the forum will include West Kelowna fire chief Wayne Schnitzler, Kelowna fire chief Rene Blanleil, Steve Schell from the Kamloops Fire Centre and Ron Dickinson from the City of Kelowna. They will be answering questions such as what steps you can take to make sure you’re prepared for wildfire, and how you can make your property more fire resistant. The annual foresters’
conference, called ExpoFor 2010 opens Thursday morning with a panel discussion on Exports to the World: The Road to China, with deputy forests minister Dana Hayden as moderator. Other topics over the two days will include grizzly bear ecology, First Nations and forestry opportunities, climate change readiness, log exports, protecting rural communities from wildfire and tenure reform. It’s being held at the Coast Capri Hotel, and about 200 foresters are expected to come from around the province to attend.
Almost half the students at Okanagan College will see their tuition remain steady for the next year. On Tuesday, the college’s Board of Governors decided to freeze those tuition fees that are more than 10 per cent above the provincial average for similar programs. Tuition fees that are less than that will be increased. That means about 50 per cent of students won’t be paying increased tuition fees next year. “We’ve heard a wellarticulated concern from students that our tuition should be comparable to similar schools in the province,” explained board of governors chair Lance Kayfish. “This decision, along with last year’s decision to freeze all tuition fees, continues to move Okanagan College in that direction.” While applauding the partial tuition freeze as a positive first step, the Okanagan College Students’ Union said OK tuition fees remain the highest in the province. The union has been looking for a freeze on all tuition increases for the 2010-11 year. “The fact remains that tuition fees at the college continue to impede accessibility to post-secondary education across the Okanagan,” said the OK College Students’ Union representative Corinne Rimes.

A SPRING storm sprinkles the hills around the Okanagan with a little water, but on the whole, there’s been very little in the past few months. JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS
▼ OUTDOORS
Choose between drinking water or watering the lawn D
espite a few storm clouds that sprinkled showers of water around for a few hours in the past few days, there’s been very little precipitation in the Okanagan for months. Although there was only 23 mm of rain in March, it was actually a bit above normal, but in the three previous months precipitation was below normal. I guess that’s borne out by the low snowpack levels in the hills around the valley and concern being expressed by water managers about the coming summer. Some are complaining that irrigation users were requesting they be permitted to use it a month earlier than normal, which means water stored in reservoirs would be depleted even earlier this year.
It’s a vicious circle, because some of those reservoirs, including Okanagan Lake, didn’t fill last year, are at levels much lower than normal, and won’t fill Judie this year. It’s appropriSteeves ate that the Okanagan Water Supply and Demand Study was released during what looks to be the second consecutive drought year in the Okanagan Basin, because it’s more likely people will be receptive to the data in it. A couple of politicians in the last week commented wryly, “We don’t want to waste a good disaster,” meaning people tend to sit up and pay attention when something like their supply of water is threatened. In a normal year, it might be harder to get people to hear the message from this study: we need to conserve water.
TRAIL MIX
The biggest surprise for me was the finding that outdoor domestic use of water is the second highest in the valley, at nearly a quarter of total use. That means we’re wasting water on keeping turf grasses green, a use with absolutely no economic benefit to either the individual or the community. I admit my neighbour is probably not very keen on it, but the vast part of my lawn goes brown by July, as does the boulevard, because it seems irresponsible to me to pour water on it when that same water could be used to drink or grow food with. Most of my neighbours don’t have large lawn areas, so they’re pretty responsible about outdoor water use, although there are some huge cedar hedges in the area and they are real water pigs, being native to the Pacific rainforest. Using drip irrigation to keep them healthy, instead of spraying them with water is one way to reduce the waste
though, and it’s a choice made by many farmers now, particularly orchardists and vineyard owners. It’s difficult to imagine the valley without its orchards and vineyards, both from an esthetics and from an economic point of view, so the fact that half our water use in the valley is for agriculture, is something we have to plan around. In any event, judging by the information available to date, this would be a good year to get interested in the principles of xeriscaping, in order to reduce the amount of water used to keep your yard attractive. There are classes coming up with Gwen Steele, put on by the Okanagan Xeriscape Association. She has also compiled an extensive database of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals which are appropriate to use in this arid climate. It’s on the non-profit’s website: www.okanaganxeriscape.org There are also classes coming up
for anyone interested in taking the Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education course that is a requirement for hunters. They’re in Peachland, Apr. 6, 13, 15, 20, 22, 29; May 6, 8 and the final exam on May 14. For details, contact Clive Hawtree of the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association at 250-767-1959. Capital News photographer Sean Connor has taken some award-winning nature pictures in the last few years, and he will be presenting some of those excellent photographs at the next meeting of the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club.

▼ WINE INDUSTRY
An aberration for appellation Hainle Vineyard Estate Winery has made a bold yet unambiguous statement in the local wine industry by launching its own appellation system of labeling. Hainle is now releasing its new wines with the front label stating the Appellation Region in which the grapes were produced. Hainle proprietor and winemaker Walter Huber explains: “We felt it necessary to ensure our core value of old style winemaking was made known in the Okanagan Valley; part of that style resides in clearly stating the appellation region on our labels.” Appellation in winemaking refers to a legally defined geographical indi-
cation of where the grapes for a particular wine have been grown. Hainle is the first winery in the Okanagan to take such a step. The rules that govern appellations are dependent on the wine producing countries, but in Canada there are currently no rules to govern an appellation system. Huber is aware of the potential consequences of such a move, due in part to the “cellared in Canada” debate that emerged in late 2009 to much local and international criticism. Hainle Vineyards wine advisor and sommelier Francois Verreault said both sides of the cel-
lared in Canada debate hold their merits. “It is not our intent with our new appellation system to fall on one side or other of that debate,” he said. “Our intent is to simply be true to our old style traditions of winemaking and to be transparent in what our winery provides our customers.” As part of the launch of this initiative announced on Tuesday, Hainle Vineyard Estate Winery has partnered with SOPA Square Real Estate Development. SOPA Square has purchased 100 bottles of Hainle’s 2004 Zweigelt, an exclusive reserve wine. SOPA Square plans to
gift all of its owners with a signed and numbered bottle; which are no longer available for purchase to the public, making this gift truly one to be treasured in any wine collection. The developer for SOPA Square, Stacey Fenwick, said, “SOPA Square and Hainle Vineyards are two socially conscious entities with the same core values—being true to one’s self while being transparent to others. “SOPA Square’s commitment to green building and green living also speaks to how old is new again, much like Hainle’s commitment to old style winemaking,” Fenwick concluded.

In a decision released last week, the law society found that Douglas Welder didn’t respond to a 2009 letter seeking information in their investigation into allegations he al-
legedly participated in an apparently fraudulent ponzi scheme. Allegations that he did not provide details of his bank accounts during a specific time frame and that he did not provide access to his trust and general bank account records were dismissed. A penalty has not yet been as-
sessed. Welder, the hearing report indicates, is also facing a class proceedings in relation to the allegation he allegedly disbursed investors’ funds to International Fiduciary Corp., which was barred by the B.C.

Symposium tackles safety issues Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
WORKSAFE B.C. says roofers should be trained in fall protection and how to manage ropes and ladders. SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEW
C U S T O M
A recent symposium on roofing safety has brought forward the need for caution in a dangerous profession. Worksafe BC occupational health and safety officer Lindy Monahan said the March 24 symposium turned out well, with many roofing companies present. She noted the companies can be difficult to contact as many are run out of the home. Monahan said Work-
safe B.C. promotes training up to a certain standard, but there is no mandatory safety training to become a roofer. She noted workers should be trained in fall protection and on how to manage ropes and ladders. Monahan pointed out roofing is not a highly equipment-intensive industry. She noted the symposium gave Worksafe the opportunity to gather roofers and deliver the same message on safety to everybody. Monahan said
M O T O R C Y C L E S
A U T O
C E N T R E
improving workplace safety involves a cultural shift in roofing. “Thirty years ago, they didn’t tie off, they didn’t have any safety measures in place.” Roofers typically spend a short time at each site, where two or three personnel are often the only workers present, usually without supervision. Another contributing factor, said Monahan, is that many roofers are paid by piecework. When pay depends on how fast someone can work, a harness that slows them down is not viewed with enthusiasm. The injury rate for roofers is extremely high. As well, roofers are the most highly penalized for injuries on the job, and probably receive the highest number of orders out of any industry in B.C. In 2008, B.C.’s overall workplace injury rate stood at 2.96 per 100 person years of employment. Steep slope roofing was at 11.5 the same year and low slope roofing at 8.5. Injury claims cost more than $9.6 million. She noted that if roofers are on a site for more than 24 hours, the company needs to register with Worksafe. If a homeowner hires a roofing company that is not registered and a roofer is injured, the homeowner can be liable for unpaid premiums. “You want to know that they’re registered, so you don’t take on the cost of an injury.” Steven Tracy worked in the family roofing business for 20 years, but a fall left him unable to continue in the trade. Tracy was working on a roof in the Kelowna area around Christmas time. “It was an average day, a beautiful bright morning. Things seemed like they were going to be business as usual.” Tracy said he and another roofer misjudged the conditions of the roof they were on. The pair decided to unhook their safety ropes and switch places. In the short time he was unhooked, Tracy slipped. He fell 30 feet and landed on his neck and shoulder on the concrete below. “I had the grace of a higher power that saved me from being paralyzed,” said Tracy. “I should have been dead.” Tracy noted the roof-
ers were working with safety equipment under conditions that were nothing new to them. He said his slip was caused by misjudged stability on the icy shakes. Roofing in winter is common, with many companies working yearround. “We thought we had everything we needed,” said Tracy. He noted that his company made sure roofers had fall protection training and was adamant about safety meetings. At the time of the fall, Tracy was wearing new spiked cork boots he had bought that morning. “If I could get a message to any of those young guys out there, it’s you can never be too safe. You could be using all the safety gear in the world. It just takes a fraction of a second.” Tracy spent two months in a body brace and is looking at another two months of rehabilitation and physiotherapy. He said he is fortunate to be able to walk, and have no brain or spinal cord damage. He will never roof again, and had to go through counseling for nightmares of falling. Tracy was no rookie. In 12 years on rooftops, he had never had much more than minor cuts and bruises. He admits many roofers consider safety gear to be only a hindrance. While speaking on the phone with the Capital News, Tracy was visiting a work site and watching a sight he says is common. “I’m watching some guys right now on a very steep roof, and not one of them has a rope on,” he said. “I see ropes hanging all over the roof, and not one of them is attached to a body.” Tracy said he’s not sure what it would take to change the minds of roofers to accept the widespread use of safety equipment. “What does a guy do? Go up there and start threatening with fines? Next thing you know, you have rocks through your window.” He pointed out a cutthroat economy pressures roofers to get up and whip through jobs as fast as they can. Tracy said he hopes that his story can get through to even one more person, to use safety equipment and be more cautious on the job.

IH, UBCO collaborate on study A research program with nearly $1 million in funding is underway in B.C.’s Okanagan and in Alberta to look at ways to improve the care of seniors when sudden health issues force them into a hospital. The Older Persons’ Transitions in Care (OPTIC) research team includes Colin Reid, assistant professor of human kinetics at UBC Okanagan, working with principal
investigator Greta Cummings, professor in the faculty of nursing at the University of Alberta, and lead decision-maker Joanne Konnert, chief operating officer for the Okanagan area of the Interior Health Authority. The study will take place in Edmonton and Kelowna, involving emergency departments, residential care facilities and the emergency medical services used to transfer
the residents. “The primary purpose of this research is to improve care for elderly residents in nursing homes, but also to reduce stress on residents, their families, staff and system resources,� said Reid, co-leader of the B.C. Network for Aging Research. “An important part of this research is to develop and test a practical tool to assess transition success, in terms of quality of care
and avoidable complications,� said Reid, who is joined on the project by UBC Okanagan co-investigators Joan Bottorff, Carole Robinson and Meredith Lilly. The team will look at how organizational factors in nursing homes, prehospital transport services, and emergency departments influence the success of the elderly making the transition to and from the hospitals.

Frost damage a concern for early spring Hazard from A1 Despite lows down to -4 C at the Kelowna airport, he hasn’t heard of any damage yet. However, there can be damage to the buds of both apricots and cherries at -2 C to -4 C, depending on conditions and varieties. When buds are tightly closed, they’re not as vulnerable to frost as when they begin to develop and open, so apples are at a pretty hardy stage still, noted Campbell. They’re later to bloom than apricots and cherries. In the south of the valley, cherries have reached the open cluster stage, so they’re suscept-
ible to frost damage there, but generally, they’re later in the central part of the valley. The past two years, spring temperatures have been late warming up, meaning tree fruits and grapes were late getting to the budding stage, while this year the opposite is true. A sudden plunge in temperatures to -10 C and -11 C last Thanksgiving has caused some damage to vulnerable grape varieties in the valley, said Campbell. However, growers are pruning and managing the vines to work around that damage. It is varieties such as syrah which were also damaged during the win-
ter before last, which sustained damage again last fall, said Campbell. Temperatures this March have been slightly above normal, quite the opposite of last year, with a temperature of 16.5 C in Kelowna last Sunday, a high for the month, according to meteorologist Jim Steele with Environment Canada. This year’s March temperatures were at a mean of 5.9 C, compared to the normal of 3.6 C. There was no snow during the month, but rainfall was right around normal, except nearly half of it fell in one day, March 12, when nine millimetres fell. However, the three previous months were

District staff get ‘blindsided’ Raucous from A1 on the issue in the future, saying all concerned would be advised of the timing. The concept of opening Menu or McCallum Road was first raised six years ago. However, residents’ opposition was enough to convince the B.C. Ministry of Transportation, which controlled the road at the time, to barricade both streets. Safety was cited as the main issue, given the narrow, winding nature of the roads and the lack of shoulders and sidewalks for cyclists and pedestrians. However, District of West Kelowna spokeswoman Kirsten Jones said despite the past decision it is incumbent upon the new municipality to revisit traffic issues. “We understand the

Every spring for almost the last two decades, the Canadian Home Builders Association of the Central Okanagan (CHBACO) has been producing an annual trade show spotlighting the very best in home construction, renovation, decoration and maintenance products and services. Each year, over 100 local businesses exhibit here. Most of these exhibitors are members of CHBA-CO and as such represent the most dedicated and professional providers around. The weekend-long event also
includes feature presentations by experts in their fields and informational presentations on all the newest innovations. This year’s dates are Friday, April 16, until Sunday, April 18. Several thousand visitors pass through the doors of the Kelowna Curling Club (on Recreation Avenue in downtown Kelowna) and each one is handed a ballot for a terrific door prize draw which is related to the annual theme. This year’s theme is Inside Out…Outside In, emphasizing that prominent aspect of the Oka-
nagan lifestyle which is using and beautifying the outdoor living spaces of any home and blending appreciation of the outdoors with indoor living. Consistent with that theme, this year’s door prize is a fantastic outdoor kitchen/barbecue set up courtesy of one of the major event sponsors, Coast Wholesale Appliances. Terasen, another major sponsor will be giving away a barbecue as well, and several exhibitors will be running prize draws from their individual booths. What you will find here is the
most comprehensive selection of home component and lifestyle suppliers in the valley. These are “the real people” you will want to deal with to work on your home. What you won’t find are the late night infomercial hawkers of disposable gadgetry. That is why it’s called The Real Home Show. Admission is a nominal $5 per adult visit. Children 16 and under are free. If you want to see the best that the residential construction industry has to offer, come on down.

Easter always revives thoughts about life after death E aster is the most glorious day in the Christian year. Easter testifies of the success of Christ’s mission, for on that day He conquered our worst enemy, death, and rose in victory from the grave. Paul proclaims: “The first fruits of those who have died. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead, has also come through a human being. “For as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15: 20-22) The question of life after death has intrigued men and woman since the dawn of the human race. Some of the oldest tombs exist at Byblos in Lebanon. The skeletons were buried in highly suggestive positions. Their knees were tucked up under their chins and they were encased in an earthenware egg. In others words, the men of that far away day, cherished the hope that new life would break out of “that egg of death.” Perhaps that is why we have the symbol of the
SOUL SEARCHING
Albert Baldeo Easter egg. The hope that when one is dead, they may live again. When I was a student minister in Evansburg, Alta., I was about to board the train to return to studies at Mount Allison in Sackville, N.B. I saw eight-year-old Susan running towards me. Shouting she said, Albert my little hamster died and I buried him in our backyard. After three days I went back to the grave, and he was still there. It did not get up and go to heaven. Have you ever imagined what children think of life after death? One can only know for sure if there is life beyond that grave if someone comes back with reliable information and that is by definition impossible. This brings us to the

very heart of the Christian message. Alone, among the religions of the world, Christianity dares to maintain that we can know about life after death and we can know of something that awaits us. This is because of one simple and sufficient reason—that Jesus Christ, crucified on the cross, rose again from the grave, his tomb was empty. When the scene of the empty tomb took place and the angel declared that Jesus had risen from the dead that was the best
news that mankind has ever received. The empty tomb gives us hope because Jesus is alive, seated at the Father’s right-hand and looking out for you and me. The empty tomb fills us with confidence because it is a guarantee of our eternal life. Romans 6: 4,5 explains, “Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in the newness of life.” I had the privilege of standing in that empty tomb in the Holy Land in
1982. It was if I could still hear the voice of the angel echoing down the hallway of time saying: “He is not here, He is risen.” On these seven words hinge the entire Christian faith. That is ‘gospel’ which means “good news.” He appeared to more than 500 hundred people after his death; which left no doubt. Does your hope appear lost today? Have you experienced some trial or discouragement that has left you with heartache and pain?
Are you struggling with confusion or uncertainty, not knowing which way to turn, or what will happen to you and your loved ones? If so, then look to the empty tomb. Be encouraged and find that assurance that everything is going to be all right. Your Savior is alive and interceding on your behalf, so there is absolutely nothing in this world that should ever take away your joy and confidence in God’s perfect provision. I pray that the joy of
Easter would fill your heart and that you will experience the deep intimate relationship that our Savior provides for you, through the cross. Celebrate the true meaning of Easter this year and God gives the guarantee of a new quality of life. Choose life and have a resurrected Easter. Christ Jesus lives today. You ask me how I know he lives? He lives within my heart. A Blessed Easter to all! Albert Baldeo is a retired United Church minister.
WHY DO THE GOOD PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE? Friday April 2, Jerusalem – Empire News: This afternoon, sometime after 3:00 PM, Jesus of Nazareth, an itinerant man of faith called ‘King’ by some and a ‘Blasphemer’ by others, breathed his last and said, “Father, into your hands, I commend my Spirit.” His passing brought to a close a three year ministry which began with Jesus’ baptism by his cousin John (a.k.a. John the Baptist) in the Jordan River in a remote area of the province of Judea. John, who was hailed universally as a prophet, testified that he saw God’s Holy Spirit descend on Jesus at Jesus’ own baptism by John. John freely testified that Jesus was God’s beloved Son. John predeceased Jesus. He died while in custody in Herod Antipas’ prison. Palace officials call John’s death a sordid affair. Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea 33 years ago. He was predeceased by his father Joseph of Nazareth, a carpenter by trade. Joseph was a direct descendant of an ancient King of Judah named David, who lived some one thousand years ago. King David is linked to a prophecy that one of David’s great grandsons would be born in Bethlehem, called the Son of God, would change the world and establish an eternal kingdom whose inhabitants live forever. Jesus is survived by his mother Mary. Sources close to Mary testify that Jesus was indeed a miraculous child conceived in Mary by the power of God while she was engaged to Joseph, yet she remained a virgin. Roman and Jewish religious authorities vehemently deny the account of the virgin birth of Jesus and call the story preposterous. Following his baptism, Jesus called twelve disciples, or students, from Galilee and other regions. They traveled with Jesus. Among his disciples were professional fishermen, tax collectors and even a member of a religious/ political group know as the Zealots (rightwing Jewish fanatics bent on overthrowing the Roman rule of Judea and Jerusalem by violence). Jesus’ disciples were unavailable for comment, as sources close to them confirm they are in hiding from Roman and Jewish authorities. Jesus was not a zealot. Sources close to him, speaking on condition of anonymity, described him as a peaceful man who encouraged love of God and love of one’s neighbor. Jesus included even a sworn enemy in the definition of neighbour. Jesus commanded his followers to pray for their enemies and do good things for them. These sources testified that Jesus performed miracles in public. He made the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk and drove demons out of people. He cured all manner of diseases, fed thousands of men women and children with a lunch made for one teenager, walked on water, and made a storm stop by merely telling it to be quiet. His
greatest miracles were raising a girl, a teenaged boy, and a man named Lazarus, from the dead. Jesus never married but he upheld marriage. His first known miracle was to change water into wine at a wedding reception. Sources close to Jesus claimed that Jesus performed this miracle in their lives. He transformed them from ordinary people into people who could love their enemies and overcome obstacles which kept them from living their lives to the fullest and living lives for God. Jesus wanted his followers to see his love for them as intense as the feelings a bridegroom has for his bride. He wanted his followers to see his desire to live with them forever in the desire of a bridegroom to begin a new life with his bride. Jesus never had a family, yet Jesus loved children. He preached that the kingdom of God included children. He promised that anyone who believed that he was the one and only Son of God is, by reason of that faith, made a child of God and part of God’s family. Sources close to the disciples indicate that Jesus had, in fact, predicted his eventual arrest, trial, conviction, crucifixion and death. He also predicted his resurrection on the third day after his death. Some of Jesus’ predictions came true yesterday and today. He was arrested late yesterday (Thursday) evening and tried by Jewish authorities. Legal scholars call Jesus’ trial a mockery. It was held in secret and at night. He was convicted and sentenced to death for the religious crime of Blasphemy; specifically, for declaring he was God’s Son. Jews could not carry out the death sentence, so they appealed to Rome this Friday morning. Pontius Pilate repeatedly denied their request, as Jesus had done nothing wrong under Roman law that would merit his death. Pilate had Jesus severely beaten to placate the crowd. When this tactic failed, he gave the crowd an opportunity to vote to release Jesus. But the crowd voted to release Barabbas, a convicted killer instead. Pilate finally gave into the desires of the majority and sentenced Jesus to die on the cross. He died sometime after 3:00 PM today. Before Jesus died, this reporter witnessed some incredible events. In his public trial before Pilate, Jesus confessed that he was a king and the Son of the Jewish God. Jews allege there is just one God and all other gods, including Roman gods are counterfeit. Jesus also confessed that his ‘kingdom’ was not of this world; it was in another world or spiritual realm. The Roman soldiers who crucified Jesus were particularly cruel. After scourging him, they dressed him up in a purple or royal robe and put a crown of thorns on his head. They further beat and mocked him. When up on the cross, his own people asked him to prove he was king by getting down off the cross. They hissed and booed him mercilessly. Yet Jesus
asked God to forgive those who crucified him because ’they didn’t know what they were doing’. After Jesus died, this reporter heard the Roman Centurion in charge of the crucifixion say, “Surely this man was the Son of God!” Jesus body was placed in a nearby tomb before sundown. A Roman seal was placed on the stone which sealed his grave and a guard was posted. All the worst in humanity seems to have assaulted Jesus. Religious authorities, who should have venerated him, reviled him. Beloved disciples betrayed and denied him. The mob he had preached to, and who adored him, turned on him. Roman law, the rule of law that should have protected Jesus, was abandoned because the Empire feared an unruly mob. This reporter believes that the guilt of the friends and foes of Jesus came shining through. We all demonstrated our guilt by either contributing to his death by going along with treachery practiced by the political and religious authority involved, or failing to stand up for him. The events that have unfolded these past two days were a gross miscarriage of justice. There are many people who deserve to die, like Barabbas, yet he walked away a free man. Jesus, an innocent man, died in his place. Jesus had done nothing to deserve scourging, crucifixion and death. Just think of what Jesus might have accomplished if he had lived another 33 years! Why did this most promising life have to end? What will happen Sunday, the third day after his death? Will there be a resurrection? Or will Jesus prove to be just another deluded prophet? Only time will tell. Staff Report Empire News, Jerusalem Bureau Come hear the rest of the story Sunday April 4, at our Sonrise service at Bear Creek Provincial Park, 8:00 AM, or at Grace Lutheran Church Sunday morning at 10:30 AM.

Drug treatment for childhood depression questioned T he issue of childhood depression is one that we are bombarded with information about. You have probably
heard or seen the ads that state: “Did you know that depression affects approximately five percent of children and teenagers?”
However, there are currently very limited treatment options for children with depression, often referred to as major depressive disorder.
Research is being done, however, that may make alternative treatment options more widely understood. With childhood de-
pression, the ads will list off a handful of very common, benign symptoms that most people probably experience throughout their life.

beyond pharmaceuticals. For me, it often seems that children are not so much depressed as they are bored.
FINDING REMEDIES
John Sherman Stimulating activity has to be more than sitting in front the television or computer and playing video games. I think our modern lifestyle has contributed to a downturn in our mental stimulation. If you need to know something about just about anything, you just Google it and it magically appears in multiple versions and options. Like an addictive drug, our senses need more stimulation. We can easily be let down, become sad or depressed, and when we can’t get that high of excitement— we become irritable and impatient because the world is not moving fast enough. According to the National Institute for Mental Health, “Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) medications among children and adolescents ages 10 to 19 have risen dramatically in the past several years. Personally, I don’t think anti-depressants are the answer. If you read the warning on the drug literature, it really does look like the cure is worse than the disease. Anti-depressants can increase suicidal thoughts and behaviours in children, teens and young adults. Suicide is a known risk of depression and some other psychiatric disorders. Call your doctor right away if you have new or worsening depression symptoms, unusual changes in behaviour, or thoughts of suicide. Be especially observant within the first few months of treatment or after a change in a prescription dosage. As a naturopath, I feel the best place to explore first would be the diet and the nutritional soundness of that child’s diet. In many cases, any changes in moods and behaviour from diet alone can be more beneficial than any pharmaceutical option. John Sherman is a professional homeopath in Kelowna. Cedarlake@telus.net

Autism disorders cover wide spectrum of symptoms A
utism is a disorder most of us have some familiarity with. Whether through personal experience with a loved one or contact with friends or our children’s schoolmates, many have witnessed some form of autistic disorder. It affects one in 165 children and is a complicated spectrum of symptoms. There are many questions that still need to be answered before it is fully understood. Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) is the term now used to describe several conditions with similar symptoms. ASD affects brain development and function and tends to cause difficulties with communica-
HEALING MINDS
Paul Latimer tion and social interaction. It also results in unusual patterns of behaviour, sensory perception, activities and interests. There are five different forms of ASD ranging from autistic disorder (also known as classic autism) to Asperger’s Syndrome. While all types of ASD are associated with some similar traits, there is a wide range in the severity of symptoms, age
of onset, levels of functioning and general disability. Some individuals with ASD may never be able to speak or communicate, while others are very high functioning, grow up to hold regular jobs and live independently. For example, classic autism usually develops before the age of three while Asperger’s syndrome is associated with higher functioning and is often not diagnosed until a child reaches school age. Most people with ASD experience some difficulty with social skills. Either they show no interest in other people or
are interested but don’t know how to interact with others. Communication difficulties are also very common in ASD. According to the Autism Society of Canada, without appropriate early intervention about 40 per cent of children with ASD do not talk at all. Non-verbal communication is equally difficult—many people with ASD are unable to read social distance cues or the use of gestures or facial expression. Repeated behaviours such as rocking, hitting, finger flapping or others as well as obsessive interest in only one thing, idea or activity are also common. Many with ASD are
also very distressed with changes in environment or routine. Many individuals with ASD also have unique abilities such as detailed or photographic memory, extraordinary skill with numbers, concentration or attention to detail. These abilities can often lead to highly specialized careers if the individual is able to learn the appropriate social skills and functioning in other areas. Although autism was identified in 1942, we still don’t understand what causes these conditions. We do know autism is four times more common among boys than girls and research suggests a
genetic predisposition in some individuals. Studies are still ongoing into possible environmental and prenatal causes for these disorders. To date there seem to be at least 20 different genes involved, which makes ASD even more tricky to pin down. A controversial and widely publicized debate exists as to whether autism can develop as a result of exposure to toxins such as mercury in childhood vaccines. To date, no link between routine childhood vaccines and autism has been scientifically validated. One study was published suggesting a link, but has since been retracted and the research-
ers charged with deception and suspect practices. For more information on this study visit http://www.briandeer. com/mmr/lancet-retraction.htm. Not everyone with an ASD requires treatment, but many may benefit from intensive intervention beginning at a young age. Applied behavioural analysis and educational intervention have demonstrated effectiveness at improving global functioning and intellectual ability in young children.

across the country an opportunity to pay their respects after the passing of John “Jack” Babcock, Canada’s last known First World War Veteran. As my turn came to sign the book, I thought of all those more than 650,000 men and women who sacrificed everything so we can live in freedom in the best country in the world. I am so thankful to the folks who helped prepare the way for a peaceful Canada! The Books of Reflection will be placed at various locations across Canada, including Parliament Hill, Rideau Hall, the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa and each provincial/territorial legislature. Books will also be available overseas at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial and the Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial in France, at Canada House in London, England, and at the Canadian Forces Base in Kandahar. The books will be on display until April 12, 2010. Canadians who are not able to access a Book
Ron Cannan of Reflection in their area can contribute to the virtual Book of Reflection which is available on the Veterans Affairs Canada Web site at www.vac-acc. gc.ca. Other commemorative events are taking place as well. Next Friday I will attend a luncheon with our B.C. Dragoons who played an important role in wars past and who currently have members serving in Afghanistan. In May, we will be celebrating the Centennial of the Canadian Navy and, while I won’t be able to join them, we have a group of Veterans and dignitaries heading to the Netherlands to celebrate the 65th anniversary of
the Liberation of Holland to remember the 7,600 Canadians who are laid to rest there. These events provide us the opportunity to take the time to think of those who have served and are serving our country. On a different note, I want to acknowledge the hard work that is going on over at the Okanagan Basin Water Board. After three years of intense study, the Okanagan Basin Water Board unveiled the results of their long-awaited Okanagan Water Supply and Demand Study on Friday, March 26. The main message is “conserve!” The Okanagan is a very dry place and has less fresh water available per person in the Okanagan Basin than anywhere else in Canada yet, Okanagan residents use more than two times as much water as the average Canadian. Water shortages have already occurred and will be even more challenging as our population grows and the climate changes. I know the sound of water shortages sounds
dire but it forces us to get serious about our own water usage. We know that the water of the Okanagan basin is at risk so now the work begins to determine what we can all do to protect this valuable resource. The good news is all levels of government and non-government organizations are supporting the OBWB’s work to provide the tools required by policy makers and community leaders to plan sustainable communities. Once again, the Okanagan is leading the way in sustainable community development. For more information on the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its programs, please visit www. obwb.ca. I’ll be working in the riding this week so if you have any federally-related issues you would like to discuss over a coffee or by email please contact my office at your convenience. Happy Easter to you all! Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country. 250 470-5075 ron@cannan.ca

provincial statute. Each piece of legislation is designed to pro-

tect individuals from mishap, and if ignored, could lead to harm, if not catastrophe. Yet much of society chooses to dismiss the law to its own detriment. The aim of seat belts is to save lives. With stratas the goal is to protect investment and minimize exposure to liability. In either case, a little precaution is well worth the effort to avoid long term grief and regret. StrataShpere has received countless complaints from owners expressing concerns over the governance of their stratas. Most are selfmanaged corporations. While buckling a seat belt is a simple decision, volunteer councils can be overwhelmed by a myriad of rules and regulations which, if not followed, could lead to serious consequence for themselves
STRATASPHERE
Gunnar Forrstrom and their corporations. The Strata Property Amendment Act sets out the standard of care by which council members must carry out their work. Each council member must “act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the strata corporation, and exercise the care, diligence and skill of a reasonably prudent person in comparable circumstances.” This is the same standard of care expected from directors of provincially incorporated companies and non profit societies. Courts have ruled

that regardless of an individual council member’s lack of experience, individuals will be held to an “objective standard of care.” In short, ignorance of the law is no excuse. If the strata corporation is sued, the legal costs to defend the suit is shared by all the owners based on the same formula by which strata fees are determined. Expensive legal actions are on the increase, and in some cases individual council member have been personally left on the hook for damages, although optional, strata insurance policies should include directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to protect owners who serve on council. The D&O insurance covers losses suffered by the corporation due to mismanagement by the strata council. A minimum amount of $1 million is recommended, however, most larger stratas opt for at least $2 million in coverage. Most D&O policies exclude coverage for
such things as dishonesty, breach of contract, violation of civil rights and discrimination, fines and penalties for failing to comply with the Act, and personal gain. There are also exclusions for the loss from the purchase or sale of securities, a practice many stratas engage in with funds from the corporations Contingency Reserve Funds. I will be organizing a free workshop for selfmanaging stratas in the near future. Please contact me if you are interested in attending and what issues you would like on the agenda for discussion. The strata seminar will be open only to strata owners and council members of corporations that do not employ professional strata managers. StrataSphere is intended for general information purposes only. Gunnar Forsstrom is a licensed strata manager with Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty.

Protect yourself from tick bites Warm weather is beckoning people outdoors, but caution is necessary to avoid bites from ticks. Interior Health communicable disease specialist Jennifer Jeyes said people face increased chance of tick bites when out in tall grass or wooded areas. “Ticks are small bugs that bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals and these bites can sometimes transmit disease.” Jeyes noted there are easy methods for people to prevent tick bites, such as covering up and checking for ticks on return from a walk, hike or bike ride. She pointed out most tick bites do not result in illness. She added that any bite from a tick or other insect should be cleaned, as infection can occur whenever there is a break in the skin. Jeyes said ticks are common in the Interior Health area, but the majority are the wood tick var-
iety which does not carry Lyme disease bacteria. She pointed out wood ticks rarely carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. “The signs of infection are similar for both illnesses. These include sudden onset of fever, headache, muscle pain and swollen lymph glands, followed by the development of rash.” Jeyes added rashes usually form in a bullseye shape when caused by Lyme disease. She noted spring ticks can also cause muscle weakness and paralysis if attached for long periods of time. Jeyes said Lyme and other tick-related diseases can be treated with antibiotics. “Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications. “One of the most important ways to protect yourself from tick-related illness is to do a skin check on yourself and your children after being outdoors.” Jeyes added other pre-
cautions can include walking on cleared trails when in long grass or wooded areas. She recommended wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants and lightcoloured clothing, as well as tucking pant legs into socks or boots. Jeyes pointed out precautions against ticks could include applying insect repellent containing DEET on all uncovered skin, carefully checking clothing and scalp after leaving an area where ticks might live and regularly checking household pets for ticks. Jeyes said there are steps people can take to reduce the chances of ticks entering a home or yard. She noted that keeping the lawn short and removing any leaf litter and weeds helps. “Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or areas should be kept away from wooded areas.” Jeyes noted home-
owners can also trim tree branches to allow more sunlight into the yard, move woodpiles and bird feeders away from the house and widen and maintain any trails on the property. She said that when finding a tick on the body or on a pet, wear gloves and be careful not to crush the tick. This can cause it to inject its stomach contents into the skin. Jeyes said people can use needle-nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to the skin, and pull the tick straight out without squeezing it. “After removal, clean the area with soap and water. If you find one tick, check very carefully for others.” Jeyes said anyone who notices the bulls-eye rash of Lyme disease or other signs or symptoms of tick-transmitted illness should see their doctor. She noted people with acute Lyme disease often do not notice the biting tick that preceded the illness.

Tri-City Americans next hurdle for Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Jim Hiller has no intention of underestimating the defending Western Hockey League champs. A seven-game upset of the Everett Silvertips in the opening round of the playoffs simply confirmed what the Tri-City Americans head coach already knew about the Kelowna Rockets. “Kelowna’s a team that we have a lot of respect for with the tradition and the success they’ve had in recent years and they’re a good club again this season,” said Hiller, in his first season as head man of the Ams. ”They’re a very different team than they were last year with all the changes, but I think we know their personnel fairly well, especially their veteran guys. “I’m not all that surprised they beat Everett,” Hiller added. “We played (Everett) many times during the season, we know how good they are. But the Rockets have that playoff experience and that obviously worked in their favour.” Hiller’s Americans and Ryan Huska’s Rockets will kick-off their bestof-seven WHL Western Conference semifinal series Friday night at the Toyota Center in Kennewick, Wash. Game 2 will go Saturday night, with Games 3 and 4 slated for Tuesday, April 6 and Wednesday, April 7 at Kelowna’s Prospera Place. It’s been four months to the week since the Rockets and Ams last met. Tri-City owned the season series, winning all four encounters by a combined score of 20-5. But with a spate of injuries now cleared up and
▼ SKI CROSS
National medals for Deans, Cline Lake Country’s Ian Deans made it on to the medal podium at the 2010 Canadian Ski Cross Championships. The 19-year-old Kelowna Ski Club member captured the bronze medal at the nationals finals held last weekend at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary. Deans was inspired to try ski cross by another local product, Kelowna’s Kelsey Serwa who was fifth at the 2010 Olympic Games and won two World Cup races this season. Meanwhile, former Kelowna resident Aleisha Cline won the women’s ski cross championship on
Saturday. For the 39-yearold mother of two, who now lives in Squamish, it was a nice way to cap off a frustrating season during which she suffered broken ribs and failed to qualify for the Olympic Games. “After such a challenging and fairly disappointing season, winning on Saturday and becoming national champion was a great way to end the year,” said Cline. Cline also won the Canadian Open ski cross the following day and picked up $1,500. Kelsey Serwa—the 2009 champion—did not compete in this year’s women’s final.

MAX ADOLPH and the Kelowna Rockets will battle Jarrett Toll and the Tri-City Americans in the WHL Western Conference semifinal beginning Friday in Kennewick, Wash. a couple of key acquisitions prior to the trade deadline, Kelowna is a vastly different team than the one the Ams saw in early December. The Rockets (35-312-4) finished the season with 16 wins in their last 24 games, while the firstplace Americans (47-221-2) won just 11 of their final 24 contests. “We’re not going to look at we did against them this year because that was such a long time ago,” said Huska. “We’re in quite a different situation, we’re a lot healthier and feel like we match up
a lot better against them now. “It’s going to be the same story for us, we need to work hard and, if things don’t go our way, we just have to stay confident and stick with the plan.”In the Americans, the Rockets face one of the speediest teams in the WHL. Led by the diminutive Johnny Lazo (39 goals), Brendan Shinnimin (82 points) and Justin Feser (36 goals), Tri-City topped the Western Conference in goal scoring this season with 272. “They’re a very skilled team and they
showed it by finishing first in our conference,” said Rockets’ captain Lucas Bloodoff. “They really use their speed to beat teams, so what we’re going to have to do is outwork them. We don’t have the high-powered offense, we’re not as skilled as we were last year, so we have to keep things simple and be physical. When we play that way, we have success.” With one playoff upset win already under their belts, the question is: Can the Rockets make it two in a row by knocking off the favoured Amer-
icans ? Lucas Bloodoff thinks the answer will be delivered by the team that wants it more. “You look at our conference and it’s really open to anyone,” said Bloodoff, one of three over-age graduating members of the Rockets. “At this time of year, it’s all about will…who’s willing to work the hardest and who’s going to play the price. I know all the guys in our room really want it.” whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

▼ MEN’S BASKETBALL
SI takes league title Southern Insurance has earned 2010 bragging rights in the masters division of the Kelowna Men’s Basketball League. SI defeated Armada Steel 84-82 in the championship final last Tuesday night at Immaculata. The two teams have had a monopoly on the league title over the last several years—Southern Insurance has won in 2005, 2006 and 2010, while Armada was tops in 2007 and 2008. SI was led by 6-foot10 former national team
player Pete Guarasci who returned from injury to score 36 points while grabbing 15 rebounds. The game was close throughout with Armada up 20-19 after one and Southern Ins up 43-40 at the half. Southern’s threepoint specialist and former U of Alberta player, Adrian Neale got hot in the third quarter as Southern jumped out to a 61-48 lead. Then Armada’s Jay Johnstone, also a former U of A player, got hot and
scored 12 straight points to tie the game 66-66 after three. It came down to Armada’s Brady Ibbetson missing a three-point attempt at the buzzer and Southern prevailed by two. In addition to Guarasci’s 36, Neale scored 17 and Curtis French had 14 for Southern. For Armada, Jay Johnstone scored 46 points including going 18for-22 from the free throw line. Former KSS and UBC star Ibbetson added 26 points in the loss.

Richards wraps long season in gold
DON DENTON/BLACK PRESS
THE OKANAGAN’S Kristi Richards capped her freestyle ski season with a gold medal.
Vipers back in BCHL final Graeme Corbett CONTRIBUTOR
The Powell River Kings want to make team history. The Vernon Vipers want to continue a trend. The Kings have advanced to the B.C. Hockey League’s Fred Page Cup final four times since 1991, but have yet to claim the crown. Vernon has ushered them out three times—twice as the Lakers—including last year’s 4-2 best-of-seven series win. The Vipers advanced to final by icing the Penticton Vees 4-1 in Game 6 of the Interior Conference final Saturday night at South Okanagan Events Centre. This will be the Snakes’ 10th trip to the dance since 1996, earning titles in 1996, ‘99 and ‘03. The Kings stunned the Alberni Valley Bulldogs by swiping the final three games of the Coastal Conference final, capped by a 3-0 shutout in Game 7 Saturday night at Weyerhauser Arena in Port Alberni. Games 1 and 2 of the Fred Page Cup go Friday and Saturday night at Wesbild Centre, after which the series heads to the Sunshine Coast for Games 3 and 4, Monday and Tuesday respectiverly at the Powell River Recreation Centre.
The Kings have eight returnees from last year’s Coastal championship team, and similar to that roster, they have a topheavy offence with three of the top-four playoff scorers—Daniel Carr (24 points), Matt Garbowsky (24 points) and Mat Bodie (22 points) rank second to fourth respectively. The Vipers have 14 Royal Bank Cup veterans. Kellen Jones, with 12 points in 12 games, is the top sniper for Vernon, who have played four fewer games than the Kings. “They’ve obviously got scoring up front and a hot goalie (Josh Watson). They’ve been there before and they’ll be eager to turn the tide,” said Vipers’ assistant coach Jason Williamson. “We build a team for a seven-game series, and whenever you can do that, it’s going to benefit you. We roll our lines and everybody gets the ice time.” Despite a 26-point gap between the two teams in the regular season, things have tightened up in the post-season. They share identical goals for (3.80) and against (1.90) averages. “We have a lot of new faces so we don’t have the continuity they (Vipers) have,” said Kings’ head coach Kent Lewis.
“We can skate and we’re a tough club. You gotta have fun at this time of the season. It’s all about attitude and expectation and you play hard and build on experience.” Blessed with a strong defensive core, led by Bodie (captain) and 20-year-old Darcy Huisman, the Kings beat the Dawgs without sniper Jordan Grant for three games. “It’s a little of everything,” said Lewis, when asked if Grant was being bench for discipline reasons. “He had some health issues. There are lots of rumours out there. Let’s just say it’s a closed-door issue. He’s day-to-day.” Graeme Gordon has been rock-steady in the post-season, leading all keepers with a 1.49 goals against average, and .940 save percentage. Watson, who has been the Kings’ go-to guy, is right behind him at 1.94 GAA and .921 save percentage. In the special teams department, the Vipers hold the advantage on the penalty kill, stopping all but two of 36 powerplays. The Kings have allowed 12 goals on 60 attempts (80 per cent). Connecting at 26.14 per cent, Powell River has an edge on the powerplay, with Vernon trailing at 22.64 per cent.
Okanagan moguls skier Kristi Richards finished off the season the same way she started it: By standing atop the medal podium. Richards, originally from Summerland, won the Canadian Championships in Calgary on the weekend, skiing to a gold medal in the final event of the season. The win marks the end of a long season for Richards and the rest of the Canadian moguls team, who broke from the World Cup season to take part in the Olympics. Richards admitted to plenty of fatigue in the weeks leading up to the Canadian finals.
“The last few weeks have taken a lot of my strength,” said Richards. “Every day has been a challenge. It means a lot to me to know that I can always find that extra little bit to push through.” Richards fell during her finals run at the Olympics but regained the form that saw her become a medal hopeful for Canada. Entering the nationals, Richards said she was exhausted from the longest competitive season of her life. She called her fourth national moguls title very satisfying. “It wasn’t an easy course and I just wanted to finish off the season well,”
‘‘
It was a bittersweet Olympic experience, she said. She received incredible support for her performance in Vancouver where she got up after crashing and wowed the crowd with a huge full twisting back flip. But, she admits she fell well short of her goal of Olympic gold. “To have such a reaction, from the community and the whole nation, and what it instilled in people (remains with me),” said Richards. “Their reaction reminded me to stay true to your heart, stay true to your goals, and no matter what happens, get up and keep going.”
THEIR REACTION REMINDED ME TO STAY TRUE TO YOUR HEART, STAY TRUE TO YOUR GOALS. Kristi Richards
said Richards. “I focused on the simple things to get me through the day.” Richards has said she will compete at least one more season on the Canadian moguls team with a focus on the 2011 FIS World Championships on the 2002 Olympic course in Deer Valley.

by using its language on campus.” The signs display new names for several previously unnamed roads on campus, which will help emergency services such as police, fire and ambulance navigate the rapidly growing campus community. As well, address numbers are being placed on buildings for easy visibility from the street. Street names were chosen to represent various attributes and components of the university community such as Athletics, Discovery, Knowledge, International, University, Diversity, Alumni, Residence and Research. The university’s street naming committee consulted the Okanagan Language Authority for translation of the street names, and the authority ap-
proved the words. “I think UBC Okanagan is doing an excellent job of raising awareness of the Nsyilxcen language, as well as acknowledging their traditional lands with these signs,” said Christine Schreyer, an anthropology professor whose research interests include preserving the endangered languages of First Nations communities. “One of the main challenges aboriginal languages face across Canada is their lack of status in comparison to English and French, and this is definitely a step in the right direction.” While many buildings on the campus have new physical street addresses, the mailing address for the entire campus community is still 3333 University Way.

A composter will reduce your garbage The Regional Waste Reduction Office will host a composter sale Saturday, April 10, at a new location— the Kelowna campus of Okanagan College, 1000 KLO Rd. Some 1,350 Earth Machine composters will be available for the reduced rate of $40, tax included; a significant savings from the regular $100 retail price. The sale is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and composters will be available on a first come first serve basis. Cash or cheque will only be accepted for payment. “We’re expecting a quick sell-out based on community interest and past sales,” says regional waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart. “One third to one half of household waste is compostable. If you recycle and compost you could be putting as little as one or two grocery bags worth of garbage out for collection a week—a huge saving for our landfills. “And by adding compost to your garden or lawn, your soil comes alive. Greener grass, healthier flowers, better fruit and vegetables!” For more information on composting or the composter sale, check out the Regional Waste Reduction website, regionaldistrict.com or call 250-469-6250.

I’d been interested in personal ďŹ nance and investing for almost 10 years before coming across Darren Weeks and his events. But it seems like all I ever did was buy books, read them, and then watch them collect dust on the shelf. Coming out to the “Get Rich in Canadaâ€? event was just the kick in the (bleep) I needed to start taking action and applying what I was learning! In the last 14 months since I ďŹ rst saw Darren Weeks present, I’ve grown my business signiďŹ cantly, bought a couple of investment properties and I’ve done two Joint Ventures. Thanks Darren and Fast Track! If it wasn’t for you, I’d probably still just be buying books. Ken Beaton Ottawa, ON. My ROI is ‘inďŹ nite’. Even though he is a lot younger than I am, I look up to Darren as a mentor. I ďŹ rst attended his event back in 2003, and I have returned many times. We have developed a real estate portfolio of over 120 ‘doors’ since then – but the biggest lesson I have learned from Darren Weeks is to give ďŹ rst, without any expectations. That was hard to believe at ďŹ rst, but now the more we give, the more we get back. My “R.O.I.â€? (Return on Investment) is inďŹ nite. Aaron Jones, Regina, SK ‌just what I needed to grow my context. I’ve gone from just having one little struggling computer store to opening multiple businesses and creating a ‘global’ team who work for me 24/7. Darren and his “How to Get Rich in Canadaâ€? event was just what I needed to grow my ‘context’ and allow me to think big and go big with my business! Nik and Paula Roughton, Vernon, B.C. ...put it to work immediately in our business. The information and knowledge we have gotten from Darren Weeks and Fast Track is completely tangible. We have taken what we have learned and been able to put it to work immediately in our business and real estate ventures. This is one of of the main reasons we’ve been able to acquire 9 properties so fast in our new real estate business. It all started by attending a “How to Get Rich in Canadaâ€? event. Vera Stark, Kamloops, BC ...absolutely invaluable... Canadian focused. I’ve absolutely loved my association with Darren Weeks and Fast Track. Since I ďŹ rst came out to one of the live events, I’ve used the information I learned to grow my business and purchase more real estate. The tips, ideas and strategies that Darren and his advisors give you are absolutely invaluable. And best of all, it is all Canadian focused. I really like that.

You May Have Seen This Ad Many Times Before‌ BUT THESE PEOPLE CAME TO THE EVENT! I first came across Darren several years ago when I was a very high paid, but frustrated union employee. I was over 26 years ‘in’ the job, and it was pretty cushy, but I really hated having to punch a clock. As an employee, my pay was set – and there was very little incentive to work hard. That didn’t cut it with my goal of getting ahead. Darren’s event sparked that desire to get out of the rat race, and turned it into a flame!
Since going to that first event, I joined forces with a couple of other likeminded local people and we have taken a lot of action and created a serious real estate investing business. I’m very pleased to say that I quit my job, and now I am a full time real estate investor! My farewell from work was great – especially when I got picked up to leave in a limo! I could see the look of envy on my co-workers faces. But there is no reason they can’t do the same.

(In fact, after you ask them about their “net worth�, you might want to “fire� your financial planner and/or banker) My name is Darren Weeks, and I am proud to say that many of my students across the country call me the “Canadian Rich Dad�. Why? Because the monthly Passive Income (i.e. money I don’t have to work for) from my many businesses, real estate holdings and investing ventures is more than what most Canadians work hard for all year long. I’ve made money during good economies and I’ve also made money during bad economies. (In fact, huge fortunes have been made during the worst of economic times). Now don’t get me wrong... I don’t say this to brag. I am telling you this because I want you to know that I don’t just talk a good talk – I actually do what I will teach you to do. But I Haven’t Always Been So Successful... I am the first to admit it – I was a very poor student in high school and University (in fact it took me an extra year just to get through). And when I finally did graduate, my first job right out of the door was with the Alberta Government! I putzed around at a dead-end $30K a year job for far too long before I couldn’t stand it any more and I quit to start my own company. During the 90’s I built up a considerable Real Estate portfolio, and I kept going with different businesses and investment opportunities as well. In fact, by the time I read Robert Kiyosaki’s all time best selling book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad�, I was already doing very well financially. I was so impressed with Kiyosaki’s message, in 2001 I became a “Rich Dad Facilitator� to help spread the Rich Dad message to Canadians. And now, after all of these years, I am very pleased to have been able to show tens of thousands of Canadians across the country how to take control of their own finances, and to live life on their own terms. I have spurred dozens and dozens of people to become multi-millionaires in 5 years or less. Now I do not take credit for their success – they took the action and actually did something – and I am just happy that I was able to inspire them in some way. “...(Darren’s) passion for helping others has been a great inspiration to me and I now truly understand about giving first with no expectations in return. Darren and his advisors/speakers have helped us in many other ways as well, too many to list.� Ken Beaton – Ottawa, ON.
Darren Weeks, Canadian “Multi-Millionaire� (from Edmonton), is revealing the proven success strategies he learned personally from Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and has perfected for our unique Canadian situation. Darren is offering absolutely FREE events in Kelowna on Monday & Tuesday, April 12 & 13 to show how you too can become financially independent and be able to do whatever you want...in 5 years or less (No matter what is happening in the economy). He’s also giving away an Amazing FREE gift to every attendee who brings a guest. His NEW audio CD “The 7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada� – a $39.95 value – Free of charge just for bringing a friend (your guest gets one too)!
Why Should You Come to My FREE “How to Get Rich in BCâ€? Event? This is an event you will want to attend in order to learn... How to “Recession-Proofâ€? Yourself and your family. How to Make BIG money in any economy. Up or down – doesn’t matter. The difference between the advice given to the Rich and the Middle Class. The fastest and most popular way to create millions of $$$. How to buy Real Estate with “noâ€? money down. Why personal associations are critical to your financial freedom. How the CASHFLOW quadrants explain the conspiracy to keep Canadians poor. ...and so much more. In fact, many people come to my events time and time again because each one is always different, they want to have the messages re-inforced, and they like being around other positive, action-oriented people. The Government and the Big BANKS are Conspiring to Keep YOU Poor. Big Brother and the Big Banks want to keep you under their thumbs. But with the knowledge that I am going to share with you (and that your accountant/ financial planner will not, or are not able to tell you) you will learn what you need to do to become truly financially free. It is my mission to expose how the Big Banks and Financial companies always make money off average Canadians with their “Management Expense Ratiosâ€? and fees – even when their investors are losing their shirts by following their lousy advice. The game is stacked against the average investor – and is completely in their favor‌ unless you learn the strategies of the rich and “become the bankâ€?. I’ll show you how at this FREE event. You Will Learn More in These 3 Hours Than Most Speakers will teach you in 3 days! I know that is a pretty steep claim, but it is absolutely TRUE. My teaching style is light-years ahead of the way you are used to learning in school. My sessions allow you to capture the information much faster and easier than at any seminar you have ever been to. “...I never thought that I could learn so much and gain so much during a free seminar. I would recommend this Fast Track event to anyone who wants to learn to be financially freeâ€?. Eva Ye, Vancouver BC (with over $10M in Real Estate investments). What Does Being Financially FREE Mean? It means you never have to: Work for somebody else. Limit your holidays to just 2 weeks a year. Order the cheapest items on the menu at a nice restaurant. Argue with your spouse about money. Get taken advantage of with stupid financial advice from broke “professional advisorsâ€?. Worry that you won’t have enough money at the end of the month. So How Long Will It Take You to Become Financially Free? I firmly believe that EVERYONE can be wealthy within 5 years or sooner of attending this life changing FREE event. This is very possible. Thousands of people who have attended this very same event are well on their way to financial freedom. They not only learned the secrets of
the Rich, they realized that taking ACTION will ensure their personal financial freedom – just like it will for you. And Why is This Event FREE? By now you are probably a little skeptical. You’ve probably been to other “free� events that promised you the world, gave you a little bit of information, and then did the old “bait-and –switch� on you. They probably tried to get you to buy some kind of super expensive Real Estate course (or other training). We do NOT do that at my events. We have some books and cashflow games available if you want them, and there is no pressure to purchase anything. Now putting on FREE events is very expensive, so to help defray the costs I have a very few, select corporate sponsors. You get a fantastic education, I get to meet you and spread the Rich Dad message, and the corporate sponsors get a few minutes to show you what they do. The best thing is... we all win! My goal with putting on these events is to start a relationship with you and get to know you a bit. Robert Kiyosaki taught me “Give first, and then you will get back.� It has worked very well for me. So leave your cheque book at home, bring a friend and just come out to the event with an open mind. Fair enough? How About if I Give You Even MORE? If I’m going to give away the farm, I might as well go even one step further...just for bringing a guest to this Free event, I want to give you another FREE gift... My “7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada� Audio CD (a $39.95 value). On this CD I show you exactly what I would do to become Financially Free in less than 5 years,
starting from a homeless shelter with my family, in a new city, with no money, no friends, no job and being $35K in credit card debt! My events fill up fast. This one is only a few days away, so take a moment now to pre-register while it is on your mind. See you at the top! Darren Weeks.

“Whoa, she’s a boat.” It likely won’t be the first thought to cross the minds of audience members when femme fatal Lucy Rupert dances across a Kelowna stage, but they’ll soon learn her role in this production of Titanic is literally to play a ship. Billed as Toronto’s premier physical theatre company, Theatre Rusticle “incorporates the best elements of normal theatre—so acting—with modern dance and other physical techniques that don’t usually make it into regular plays,” explains Allyson McMahon. McMahon is the founder and artistic director of the company which has only just started touring this past couple of years, though they’ve been around since 1998, formally incorporating in 2004. She says their style is in many ways “more truthful” because it en-

In this particular play, it means weaving three takes on the same tale together to form a completely unique vision of what really occurred the
night the Titanic sank. Main narrator Harold Bride, a Marconi officer on the ship and responsible for delivering telegrams, tells his side of the events through those messages. He was one of the more instrumental survivors in retelling officials on shore what went wrong as he was privy to informa-
tion about the coordinates of the ship as it hit that fateful iceberg. “They were just completely overwhelmed between personal messages set against the real issues of traffic control,” said McMahon. With well-heeled passengers keen on telling relatives more about their travel plans and how

Bride survives the accident, but spends the entire night with his coworker Jack Phillips who passes on. His take on the events of that night forms the third storyline in this production.

on the Greek myth of Perseus who was born of a god but raised as a man, and who must solve riddles and battle mythical creatures to save the life of his betrothed, Andromeda. Although it may look dated and campy by today’s standards, it remains one of my favourite movies as it features the final work of Ray Harryhausen, the stop motion special effects genius responsible for animating characters in fantasy movies like Mighty Joe Young, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and Jason and the Argonauts. It also featured an allstar cast including Laurence Olivier as Zeus, Maggie Smith as Thetis, Ursula Andress as Aphrodite, Burgess Meredith and Harry Hamlin as Perseus. Although the remake does not have stop motion animation, director Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2, The Incredible Hulk) asked Harryhausen to be involved with the film, but he would not come out of the retirement he has enjoyed since the original came out. What the remake does have is an all star cast including Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades and Perrseus is this time played by Sam Worthington, who is still soaking in the success of Avatar. In the new version of Clash of the Titans, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission

Clash of the Titans is the first movie playing in 3-D at the Capitol Theatre. Fans of the original may want to keep an eye out for the mechanical owl Bubo who makes a cameo in the remake. Now showing at the Grand 10 Cinemas is The Last Song, but do not let the fact that it stars Miley Cyrus lead you to believe it is a movie strictly for teen girls. It is the first time author Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, Dear John) has adapted one of his novels into a screenplay.

e smashed a stick on the board, reducing it to splinters. He tore off his jacket, grabbed another stick, and destroyed that too, all that while screaming foul language. Street fight? Riot? No, it was an American Hockey League game last Saturday night in Abbotsford. The ballistic performance by Abbotsford coach Jim Playfair, following a ref’s call he didn’t like, went continental on major media sportscasts Sunday, and
had more than one million YouTube views by Monday afternoon. The same morning, the AHL announced a fine against the uncharacteristically volcanic coach. Hockey fans seem to love it, with some of them calling Playfair’s explosion “hilarious.” Whether it ought to be supported or condoned in any way, is another matter. The league has staked its position on the display, although falling short of game suspension,

which is telling. As entertaining as many find Playfair’s eruption, it can also be seen as an example of how violence has in some cases become an integral, and largely accepted, component of professional sports—especially hockey. It is particularly notable coming on the heels of the Olympics, which strives to be a model of sportsmanship and honourable conduct. It’s unfortunate the Abbotsford Heat, an expansion AHL team that has not drawn very
well at the box office this season as the farm team for the NHL’s Calgary Flames, will be unlikely to draw this level of national public attention again, regardless of their actual hockey prowess and achievement. As for role modelling, it plays only to the most base of emotions. Don’t like a call? Break a stick, and holler profanity. It was good to see Playfair recognized that, and was apologetic on Monday. That’s as it should be.

Consumption taxes are all the rage for government
P
oliticians are wringing their hands, saying they have no choice but to extend sales taxes to services from haircuts to home repairs to funerals. They know people don’t like it. “It’s hard enough doing what we do,” plumber John Luke said last week, as he faced the prospect of presenting customers with a new tax on his services. Luke doesn’t fix pipes in B.C., or Ontario. He lives in Philadelphia, and was interviewed by the New York
Times. Pennsylvania and Michigan have seen drastic drops in their income tax revenues and are looking to join states such as Washington, Hawaii, Tom Delaware, New MexFletcher ico and South Dakota, where most services are already subject to state sales taxes. “The basic thing is that we need to update our tax structure,” said Robert Kleine, treasurer for Michigan. “We’ve got a 20th-century tax structure based on a different sort of economy. The tax base doesn’t grow as the
VICTORIA VIEWS
economy grows.” As Detroit and Oshawa have shed jobs in car plants, B.C. has seen its own decline in steady paycheques— notably in the forest industry—that deduct a big slice for federal and provincial income tax. The B.C. Liberal government has cut income taxes repeatedly, and is on its way to eliminating income tax for small business. Now the other shoe is dropping. The B.C. legislature will be dominated in the coming days by debate over harmonized sales tax legislation. This battle is largely moot, since the federal government has already passed the legislation to com-
bine provincial taxes with the GST in B.C. and Ontario. The contract with Ottawa is signed, and all that’s left for B.C. to do is repeal its provincial sales tax law to make way for the new system. It puts the NDP opposition in an awkward place. They’ve been hammering the government over its drastic “cuts” to health care and education, despite the fact spending for both continues to rise. Health spending is up $2 billion in the last year, and total provincial spending will reach an unprecedented $42.5 billion in the coming year. NDP leader Carole James and former Social Credit premier Bill
Vander Zalm are on separate barnstorming tours to fan opposition to the HST. Last week in Kamloops, Vander Zalm said the government’s in the red because it built projects such as the Golden Ears Bridge, highways and the Vancouver convention centre during good times. Vander Zalm didn’t know what he was doing when he was premier, and clearly things have not improved. He doesn’t say how he would have altered the timing of the Olympics or the U.S.-triggered global recession. For her part, James wants to cancel income tax reductions for “big See Fletcher A25

Water is not ours to throw down the drain To the editor: I just read Lori Welbourne’s column about the water bill (The Day Our Well Ran Dry, Capital News, March 28) and understand so completely the perils of forgetting to pay bills and having to pay penalties. One point that she made in her column is the one that I want to address and that is when you had to get water from a neighbour in a bucket and were reminded of being a villager in Africa. We take our water for granted. It’s just there for us any time we want it and whatever temperature we want it at. For four years I lived in China and even though the first two years were spent in 5-star luxuries,
western standard style, the last two were spent luxury style, Chinese standard. I had running tap water but no hot water. I had to boil my water from a kettle to wash dishes then boil more to rinse. When I wanted to wash my clothes, only cold water ran through my very old fashioned washing machine that I had to plug into the sink faucet. The shower was the only time I could use the hot water as it was attached to a gas heating system—but only in the shower room. I had to use boiled or bottled water to brush my teeth because the water from the tap was not sanitary enough to rinse with. All these daily lessons of what pollution and portion control for our life re-
sources have taught me lessons beyond belief. Now in Canada, when I am visiting someone’s house and I see them run the tap and walk away from it just because they want to rinse a carrot or bowl and they use up gallons of precious water, it makes me cringe. I mean really cringe. It bothers me so much that all of us take for granted the accessibility of water and act so spoiled that it’s their right to waste it if they choose to. In the same paper that your column was published, there was a big article about how much we waste water. (Is There a Drop to Drink? Study Shows We’re Water Pigs) I am truly hoping that Kelowna and the Okanagan
start realizing how much we waste and take this education to heart and put it into practice. Someone from my own family, when I confronted them about wasting water said, “Anna, water is still relatively free and we have a lake full of it. If I lived in China then I would take your comments into consideration but I live here, it’s no big deal.” Yet in the same breath when I left a light on in the kitchen and went back to watch TV, I was reprimanded for wasting electricity because that costs money. I seriously had to bite my tongue and be respectful, but I really didn’t want to. My point is that we, all humans, need to start
being respectful of the natural resources that we have taken for granted for so many years. Rather than waste them, “because we can afford it” or just because “we can,” is not cool anymore. It’s cool to save our environment, it’s cool to recycle, it’s cool to not waste food, it’s cool to eat healthy, etc. Let’s make it cool to not waste water, and embarrass those who do. If we could just leave the taps off and take two minute shorter showers and not wash our clothes just because they fell on the floor and aren’t even dirty, we would have enough water to irrigate our lawns and garden. Honestly people: think. Anna Jacyszyn, Kelowna
Fight to stop ‘Horrible Stupid Tax’ To the editor: I attended meetings on March 27 with speakers Carole James and Bill Vander Zalm, they were very informative regarding the Horrible Stupid Tax (HST). Low attendance was obvious. Come on everyone, this affects every man, woman and child in this province as well as business. Everyone I have spoken to has either said
“oh, there is nothing we can do” or “yes, it is a stupid tax but the government will pass it anyway” Are we all defeatist? Come on—we pulled together and won gold at the Olympics, let’s do the same for ourselves, our children and our province. We can defeat this tax if we all work together. This fight crosses all political boarders. No matter what you vote, this tax is going to
be a disaster for each and every person and business. We have 90 days, starting April 6th, to get this all together. Hope to see everyone at the next information meeting. Lets kill the HST. Darlene McGinnis, Kelowna

Westbank is why people are upset. We are given funding to build Westbank within the District of West Kelowna, and these funds and our town are disappearing. We have had enough expensive studies and talk about town centre plans but that’s all it is—talk.
We were told to go to the Official Community Plan meeting to voice our opinion and when 300 Westbank supporters arrived, we were reprimanded for being there. Doesn’t Westbank deserve a fair and just opportunity to discuss this issue at a townhall meet-

Biology students seek answers Easing circulation blockage The Biology Graduate Program established three years ago at UBC’s Okanagan campus is already earning a reputation for student excellence. About one-third of the 15 Master’s degree and six PhD students currently enrolled in the program are recipients of major external fellowships, such as the highly competitive Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council fellowship and Pacific Leaders Scholarship. “To have such a high percentage of our graduate students receiving these prestigious and competitive fellowships is huge,” said Karen Hodges, the Biology Graduate Program coordinator. “It really points to the quality and relevance of the work being done by our students, as well as the depth of our program,
which is able to offer students solid, meaningful projects with international relevance in a competitive, supportive environment.” Research conducted by the biology graduate students covers a diverse range of inquiry—such as building a better understanding of the ecology of bobcats, looking at how to restore degraded wetlands, and studying the structure of endangered plant communities in the Okanagan. Three graduate students have obtained International Education Travel Subsidy funds from the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences to support aspects of their research. Natalie Melaschenko travelled to Kenya to study field techniques at the Mpala Research Cen-
tre; Haley Catton will be traveling to Australia; and Chandra Moffat will be conducting fieldwork in Switzerland this summer. In addition, a number of biology graduate students will present their research to leading experts at international conferences this year. “Students are not just being trained to develop expertise, but to share their expertise,” said Hodges. “They work on real problems that have been identified as issues by society.” Roughly half of the graduate students in the biology program are tackling research projects with linkages to a variety of government agencies including Environment Canada, the B.C. Ministry of Forests, and Agriculture Canada. “Our program allows

students to grow their intellect while tackling something that matters,” says Hodges. “It is so deeply exciting for faculty and students alike to work together on things that are fundamentally unknown. That’s really our job—to be on the edge of knowledge.” A number of the students have come from outside the UBC system, including four international students, which reflects the notable reputations of the faculty members who are conducting relevant and exciting research, said John Klironomos, a professor of biology who is involved with the graduate program. “You attract the best and brightest by offering exciting, relevant, cutting-edge research initiatives that are meaningful, and that’s what our faculty is able to do.”

he ankle joint is an intricate network of bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles. It is built for both strength and flexibility, as it needs to bear the weight of our body while also having the flexibility for the various surfaces we walk on. The ankle joint can be prone to various types of injury and pain and ankle pain may be experienced on the inside or outside of the ankle or along the back where the Achilles tendon connects the muscles in the lower leg to the heel bone.

gait or walking pattern and in a chain reaction, the knee joint, hip joint, SI joint and spine become involved and so ankle pain can have far-reaching consequences. Acupuncture is a great option for problems of the ankle and can effectively treat ankle pain of all types. All of the leg meridians can have an influence on muskulo-skeletal disorders of the ankle, and because the toes are the starting point of the body’s meridians, if there is an imbalance or obstruction in any meridian, often it will cause symptoms of pain or muscle imbalance in the foot or ankle. As with other pain or injuries in the body, Chinese medicine usually diagnoses ankle pain and injury as a blockage or lack of proper circulation of blood and qi-energy in the affected area. These blockages lead to pain, weakness and an inability for the ankle to heal properly because it cannot receive the proper nourishment to do so. Acupuncture helps to remove blockages, increase circulation of the blood and energy, and also resolve any imbalances in the meridians that may be causing a weakness in the ankle and leaving it prone to injury or strain. In the early stages of an injury, acupuncture can help to remove blockages and promote blood flow to the ankle, as well as relieve swelling and pain. With injuries in the middle stage of healing, acupuncture can help alleviate swelling and pain in the ankle, and promote healing of the tissues and bones. In later stages of injury, where the ankle has become rigid and weak, acupuncture can help to relax the tendons and remove blockages to regain movement and strength in the ankle. All in all, whether we are dealing with acute or chronic ankle problems, acupuncture can help to boost the body’s healing so that we can regain our health and return to our regular day to day functioning.

Volunteers needed to help stage annual Terry Fox Run
in the largest circulation class
Named by the CCNA as Best All Round Newspaper in Canada
On April 12, 1980, Terry Fox set out running from St. John’s, Nfld., with the intention of reaching Victoria in a cross-country marathon to raise money for cancer research. After running 143 days he was forced to stop at the 5,374 kilometre mark, near Thunder Bay, Ont., when the cancer, that took away his right leg three years earlier, spread to his lungs. Fast forward 30 years to 2010, and Lake Country residents will once again have the opportunity, right here on our own roads, to carry on this Canadian visionary’s dream to cure cancer. On Sept. 19, friends and neighbours from throughout Lake Country are invited to join their fellow Canadians in the annual Terry Fox Marathon of Hope. The exceptional level of success that the Marathon of Hope enjoys relies on capable volunteers, supporters and participants who focus 100 per cent of the attention that the run attracts on cancer research. An organizing committee for Lake Country’s Marathon of Hope has been formed. The committee is now seeking enthusiastic volunteers, businesses and participants to step forward and help
re-establish this exciting family-oriented event. Interested people can contact Lindsay Wong, Shelley Gilmore and Chris Law at lakecountryterryfox@gmail.com. As he prepared for his personal run, Fox’s goal was for every single one of his countrymen and countrywomen to donate just one dollar to the cause. “When I started this run, I said that if we all gave one dollar, we’d have $24 million for cancer research, and I don’t care, man, there’s no reason that isn’t possible. No reason,” said Fox after arriving in Thunder Bay. He lived to see his dream come true. By February 1981, he had raised $24.17 million. He passed away just four months later, and his saga became a source of inspiration for people all over the world. Through the Marathon of Hope, Terry’s ambitious dream to cure cancer continues to live on as a fountain of national pride. To date the Marathon of Hope has raised nearly $500 million for cancer research through annual runs that have been held in Canadian communities and in places as far away as Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Malaysia. The goal for the Lake
Country committee is to work together to “make cancer history” and see if Fox’s dream of one dollar per person can become a reality in the Okanagan.

Chute Lake students assist food bank The Kelowna Community Food Bank and school children in India will both benefit from fundraising by students at Chute Lake Elementary. Organizer Nikolai Lesack said students can bring in rice and other non-perishable food items, which will be donated to the food bank. He noted that students can also bring in money for the school’s Me to We group. The group is trying to raise $8,000 to build a school in India in partnership with Free the Children. Lesack said he heard about the fundraising idea after his brother went to Kelowna Secondary School
last year, where a similar fundraiser was held. Lesack said he thought the fundraiser would be a good idea, and that it fit the goals of helping the community and the food bank. After going class to class at Chute Lake and talking about the project, Lesack said he thinks the other students like the idea, because it helps the community and meets the school’s Me to We goals. The fundraiser is on now until April 9. Anyone who would like to drop off goods can find Chute Lake students at the Save-On-Foods in the Mission on April 11, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The 5.0-litre Mustang GT is back big time Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR
CONTRIBUTED
THE 2011 FORD MUSTANG GT features a new 412 hp V8 that gets up to 7.6L/100 km or 37 mpg highway on regular fuel. Available as a coupe or convertible, it is one of the most potent stock Mustangs ever built.
The 5.0-litre V8 in the 2011 Mustang GT is more than just a return to a fabled powerplant; it’s a statement about Ford then and now. Of the many gifts to the world from the United States, two that stand out are jazz from New Orleans and the V8 engine from Detroit. Whether it’s Louis Armstrong or Henry Ford, there is no doubt that both these men changed the world—for the better. Ford’s legacy is the V8 that broke into song in 1932 about the same time as Armstrong was making people of all walks of life listen to a new kind of music. The 5.0-litre V8 in the 2010 Ford Mustang GT (base Mustangs get a 3.7-litre V6) is a descendant of the “thin wall” V8 that debuted in 1962 and begat the 5.0-litre what appeared in 1979 and became a street and drag strip star. It was so good in its day that the 5.0-litre
Mustang was the pursuit vehicle of choice of hundreds of police departments. The all-new 5.0-litre in the 2011 Mustang GT brims over with leading edge technology like four cams and Independent Variable Camshaft Technology (Ti-VCT) to produce an astounding 412 hp and 390 lb/ft of torque. Interestingly, the very powerful 3.5-litre turbocharged V6 was never considered as an alternative. One Ford official told me most Mustang buyers only want naturally aspirated engines, and at 412 hp, it makes the 2011 GT one of the most potent Mustangs ever. There is a wonderful guttural bark when the engine bursts into life that changes to a fruity burble as the Mustang picks up speed and on to a sonorous howl that is so particular to V8s. This engine provides sensory satisfaction like nothing else. Slip the six-speed See Mustang V8 B2

Sensory satisfaction from Mustang’s V8 engine Mustang V8 from B1 manual shifter into first; let in the remarkably light clutch and you can have it mild or wild. Mild is edging along in pre-rush hour traffic on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) through Malibu where it is as docile as can be. Wild is with your right foot buried to the mat on an empty stretch of one of the many canyon roads that snake up from the PCH. Either way you’re in for a great ride.. When “Pony” cars like the Mustang were new and before they took on a aura of the near mystic, the ones with 400 or more horsepower weren’t very good cars at all. With simple ladder frames, rear leaf springs (believe it or not) and solid rear axles they were brutes to drive, and with rear drum brakes, hopeless to stop quickly. When it came to anything close to spirited handling, they could become lethal especially in the wet with bias ply tires. The 2011 Ford Mustang GT has none of these traits. For 2011, there are two models, the Mustang with 3.7-litre V6 and the Mustang GT, the “GT” noting that it is V8

Impressive as this is, all this power comes from one of the most fuel-efficient motors on the market today. According to Ford of Canada, the V8 with six-speed manual gets 12.2/7.6L/100 km city/highway and 11.8/7.8L/100 km city/ highway. That’s 37 and 36 mpg for the manual and automatic respectively. Both the six-speed automatic and manual are new. The manual is standard and the automatic is a $1,400 option. With 390 lb/ft of torque, you can leave this car in any gear and the grunt of the engine is more than sufficient. In
fact, I needed only third on the switchback roads leading up to the Mulholland Highway. Cruising the PCH, I found getting into sixth to be like punching through a notch in the shift gate. Getrag in Germany makes the manual. Anyone familiar with these boxes knows they can be stiff when new but they become a delight with use and familiarity. The suspension of the GT is probably one of best Ford has ever engineered for the Mustang. Even with a solid rear axle, this is a pony car you can point and, with the Brembo Package, one that lets you bleed off speed at any rate you chose. Those four-piston Brembos have 14-inch front rotors, an inch bigger than the 13-inch
brake system featuring 14-inch rotors and four-piston calipers at the front. wheels that were standard on the Mustang II of the mid 1970s. The styling was been subtly revised with a nice wide bulge on the hood that gives it an aggressive look whether you have the V6 or V8. Ford benchmarked its interior against the Audi A5. I’d have to see them back-to-back but my impression is the Audi wins that battle. Mustang’s cabin is better that its main competitors and I have to say trying to match Audi shows Ford is looking in the right direction. But in the battle of the drag strip, the GT is a winner. Ford had V8 Camaro SS coupes on hand during the press introduc-
tion and they let journalists race them back-toback with the GT winning every time. I’m not a racy type but people told me the smooth action of the clutch and change-up ratios of the six-speed made the difference. For my part, I enjoyed cruising the highways, which is, when you thing about it, what the Mustang is all about. And I like the little touches, like a small pony on the door trim just above the armrest and the fact that everything in the cabin that looks like metal is metal, not just coated plastic. An interesting thing on both Mustangs is the outside mirrors. Each has

THE NEW 5.0-LITRE V8 in the Mustang GT with 412 hp on regular gasoline is much improved over the 315 hp 4.6-litre V8 in the 2010 GT. The newfound power is thanks to a totally new engine that features Independent Variable Camshaft Technology (Ti-VCT). a tiny convex secondary mirror placed in the outer corners. It’s Ford’s idea of eliminating the blind spot and it actually works. Yes the image is small, but you can see it which beats the heck out of craning your neck back over the headrest. Pricing for the GT starts at $38,499 for the coupe and $42,899 for the convertible with a shipping fee of $1,350 and will be here by summer. The 2011 Mustang GT is a car that defies demographics. You see everyone from bank presidents, to working people to retirees driving Mustangs. But for most poten-
tial Mustang buyers from teens to seniors, the whole thing is about the 5.0-litre being back—and that’s a good thing.

Watch the signs: Driving safely in school and playground zones KATE WELLS I teach a lot of new drivers how to pass their Learner’s Licence test. Road signs are something they have to know to pass their Learner’s exam but many don’t take the time to really learn them properly, which eventually comes out in their driving. I also drive every day and pass through two types of school zones that are often misused. Many drivers on local roads don’t understand the potential hazards that come with school and playground zones and choose to ignore the signs altogether.

Playground zones are a bit different. This sign means you MUST be going 30km/hour by the time you reach this sign from dawn until dusk, seven days per week. Again, the playground zone ends when you reach the back of the other sign that is seen by the drivers travelling in the opposite direction. Once you have driven past that sign, you may resume your speed. Sometimes you will see this school sign, without the designated speed feature. A sign that does not indicate a lower speed beneath it means you
must reduce your speed when children are present. The same goes for a playground zone without the speed limit underneath it. This sign means you must be prepared to slow down. Research clearly indicates that if a motorist travelling at 50km/hour hits a child, that child only has a 20 per cent chance of surviving. However, if a child is hit by a car travelling at 30km/hour, that child has up to a 95 per cent chance of surviving – a staggering difference! Approximately 14 per cent of drivers admit to driving at least 10km/hour over a posted school or playground zone speed limit. Do your part for our children – slow down in school and playground zones. It’s the law!

Diesel is back in VW’s Jetta TDI sedan Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR
While some auto manufacturers are pinning their future on gas-electric hybrids, Volkswagen has chosen to drive down the diesel road, at least for the near future. Volkswagen’s new Clean Diesel engines came on stream in 2009 after the German automaker went nearly two ryears in Canada without a diesel available. Instead, Volkswagen t made due with the lowcost City Jetta and City Golf gasoline models as its entry-level vehicles. That marketing strategy came about because /the old 1.9-litre TDI turbo diesel engines couldn’t meet U.S. emissions standards and VW wasn’t yet ready to introduce the new generation diesels. VW was able to weather the storm without its diesels for a couple of years but it is back in a big way with its new Clean Diesels. In fact, in February 2010 alone, TDI Clean Diesel sales accounted for more than 25 per cent of VW Canada’s overall sales. One of the most popular TDI vehicles is the Jetta sedan. Last year, 11,717 gasoline and diesel Jettas moved off dealer lots here in Canada, making up more than a quarter of the firm’s overall sales. That percentage is
likely to drop this year with the popular new generation Volkswagen Golf taking away some sales. Nevertheless, sales of 1,155 Jettas in February still made up a little over 20 per cent of VW’s 5,153 unit sales for the month. For 2010 the Jetta comes in a variety of trim levels—Trendline, Comfortline, Highline and the special Wolfsburg Edition. Standard is a 2.5-litre five-cylinder 170 hp gasoline engine, however the 2.0-litre TDI Clean Diesel that was featured in my test vehicle will prove to be a popular choice with consumers. Driving enthusiasts who want a little more punch can also go with the 200 hp inline turbocharged 2.0-litre fourcylinder engine. My tester was the Jetta TDI Highline model with the six-speed DSG Tiptronic transmission, priced at $32,275 plus freight and PDI. The Jetta TDI is a well-outfitted car even in the barebones Trendline trim (starting at $24,475). However, my tester featured 16-inch alloy wheels, eight-way manually adjustable front seats with lumbar support and power recline, upgraded 10-speaker audio system with touch screen and sixdisc changer, heated front seats and washer nozzles and a host of other con-

Ford Mustang V6 gives performance on a budget for 2011 Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR
Buy a 2011 Ford Mustang V6 and you can have a performance car, an economy car and a vehicle that pleases your insurance company all at the same time. The performance comes from the new 3.7-litre V6. Using the latest technology like twin camshafts with Independent Variable Camshaft Technology (Ti-VCT) and engine mapping, it produces 305 hp. That’s nearly the same as the 4.6-litre V8 used in last year’s Mustang GT that put out 315 hp. There are two ways of looking at the economy and the first is price. The base 2011 Mustang V6 coupe with standard six-speed manual starts at $22,999. A wellequipped manual coupe starts at $26,999 while the convertible is $31,399. A six-speed automatic is a $1,400 option on all three models. The other way to look at it is fuel economy with

But with all of the above, can you have your cake and eat it too? The answer is a definite yes. Being California, my co-driver grabbed the first convertible we could get our hands on. The downside was it was a U.S.-only MCA (Mustang Club of America) version denoted by special alloy wheels and a black racing stripe down the side shaped like a hockey stick. I suggested to Ford officials they make a Canadian version with the hockey stick in gold to remind everyone about our Olympic triumph. FYI, we can get a racing stripe along the hood, over the roof and downj the rear desk in black or white as a $500 option on the coupe only. I was also told convertible Mustangs are more popular in Canada than the United States, which surprised me. The American take rate is 50:50 but in Canada it’s 60 per cent convertibles. Suspension is MacPherson struts at the front and a solid rear axle at the back. It sounds rather yestertech until you drive it. Even without a roof the car feels tight. On uneven pavement the hood doesn’t shake but is solid as a rock like the rest of the car which shows how far we have come with body shell stiffness engineering. The interior has been totally redone with an Audi A5 as the benchmark. There’s a lot more soft touch materials used and Ford is proud of the fact that anything that looks like metal on the interior is real metal not coated plastic. Ford has retained the retro main gauges but I found it hard to get used to the tach on the right and the speedo on the left. The shifter on the automatic is a meaty affair. I did not drive the manual version but the shifter on the V6 and V8 is a proper aluminum ball with the six-gears etched in. The driving route in and around Los Angeles was primarily north of the city along the Pacific Coast Highway up the numerous canyon roads around Malibu to the Mulholland Highway and back down again. These roads are twisty and demanding but paved to almost billiard table flatness which translates See Mustang V6 B5

After that, it was simply put it in Drive and enjoy the ride which is, after all, what a convertible is all about. If you want to push, tthe Mustang will respond with positive reaction to steering and throttle inputs. The suspension fsoaks up everything you can throw at it and, surprisingly for the engine at the front and the drive fat the rear through a solid axle no less, oversteer is not an issue. One of the interesting things about the Mustang is the outside mirrors. Each has a small convex mirror in each outer corner. Because it takes
in such a wide field of vision, it helps eliminate the blind spot. The image is small but visible and it’s a lot better than looking back over your shoulder to see if a car is coming. North of Malibu, Ford put on a demonstration matching the Mustang

It’s the fuel economy that draws most people to diesel Jetta from B3 venience features. Most people who opt for the diesel do so because of the fuel economy—this is where the TDI shines with Transport Canada ratings of 6.7L/100 km (42 mpg) city and 4.6L/100 km (61 mpg) highway for the automatic version. Compare that with the 2.5L Jetta gasoline version (9.3L/100 km (30 mpg) city and 6.9L/100 km (41 mpg) highway and you can see why many buyers
opt for the diesel option. If you take the TDI on a road trip, getting more than 1,000 km on a tank of fuel is a real possibility. However, there are still many consumers who know little or nothing about the way diesel technology has advanced over the years. All they remember from diesels is the clattering sound and the smelly, smoky exhaust fumes they used to emit. Those days are long gone as today’s diesels are much quieter and cleaner.

you have to put up with is around the pump when refueling. This new diesel technology also reduces emissions to extremely low levels, aided by the ultra low sulphur diesel fuel now available across North America. The TDI has the least horsepower of any Jetta engine at 140, but the 236 lb/ft of torque more than makes up for it. And that peak torque is at the low end of the curve between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm. On the road, the TDI is a delight to drive. The DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) works flawlessly and can be used in automatic or manual mode. At speed, there is little wind or road noise and while you can hear some engine noise, it is nowhere near what you used to experience with a diesel. While the horsepower number is low, the Jetta TDI has plenty of zip, with power to spare when entering high-speed traffic from an on-ramp. This is a family sedan rather than a sport sedan and the ride quality is geared more to comfort than sportiness. The heated front seats are nice on cold winter mornings and they provide good support and a comfortable ride.
THE JETTA has a 60/40 split folding rear seat that adds to the cargo-carrying capability. There is plenty of room for two or three adults in the rear of this four-door compact sedan and the 60/40 split-folding rear seats add to the cargocarrying capability. On the safety front,
the Jetta is well outfitted with anti-lock brakes (ABS), six standard airbags, and electronic differential lock that uses the ABS to transfer engine power to the wheel with the most traction.
This reduces wheel spin to make driving safer and more fuel-efficient. The Jetta has long been a popular family sedan and with the TDI Clean Diesel now available, consumers can have

KNOWLES - CW (BILL) 1908-2010
Bill passed away peacefully on March 25, 2010 at the age of 101. He was born and raised in Kelowna, living most of his life here. Bill met his wife of 73 years, Joyce Jennens, and together raised their daughters Diana and Sylvia Knowles, both of Kelowna. Bill will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by his four grandchildren Lance Taylor of Coquitlam, Leah Ross of Edmonton, David Murphy of Innisfail and Tara Crossley of Cambodia and his 10 great grand children. With his passion and zest for life Bill was always a pleasure to be around, proven by the many lifelong friends he and Joyce enjoyed. From an early age Bill was always up for adventure, enjoying a lifetime of travel, canoeing, white water rafting and hiking. In his later years he was a timeless champion of Kelowna fighting to preserve historical buildings and sites. Even in his mid 90’s he had an enthusiasm and love of life which enabled him to write weekly columns for the Daily Courier and Capital News. He also wrote a memoir of Kelowna’s early days titled “According to Bill.” Bill’s greatest happiness centered around Joyce, his daughter’s, family & friends. He could often be heard saying “I am the luckiest man in the world” Many thanks to all the staff at the Villlage of Smith Creek and a special thanks to Corrie Kilcup whose wonderful care of dad was so appreciated. In leiu of flowers donations may be made to Central Okanagan Heritage Society, 1060 Cameron Ave. V1Y 8V3. Funeral Services to be held at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Ave, Kelowna on Sunday April 4 at 1:00pm.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bill on March 27th, 2010 at the age of 84 years. He will be dearly missed by his wife of 60 years, Amy Doreen and sons Rand (Colleen), Scott, Jeffrey (Shannon) and grandchildren Ceili, Frank, Trevor, Lindsay and Kirstan. He is also survived by brothers John (Rose-Marie) and Richard , as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Bill was predeceased by his son Kirk Donald in 1956. Bill proudly served with the RCA during WWII as a wireless airgunner on Liberators with Coastal Command, flying out of Milltown, Scotland. After the war he resigned his commission before re-joining the RCAF in 1946, retiring in 1971. In 1971 Bill joined the CNIB in Regina before transferring to the CNIB BC Yukon Division in Vancouver, retiring as their chief accountant in 1988. In 1991 Bill and Doreen moved to Kelowna. A Celebration of Bill’s Life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion 1380 Bertram Street, Kelowna on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010 at 11:00 AM.

BROWNLIE - ROBERT WILLIAM
Born in New York City on September 10th, 1921, Robert William Brownlie (a Purple Heart veteran of WW II) passed away of heart failure on Saturday afternoon, March 27th 2010 at the Kelowna General Hospital, with three loving friends by his side. Rob is survived by his daughter Pat (Robert); son Peter (Deborah) and grandsons Matthew (Ashley) and Colin (Deborah); son Andrew (Amy) and son Richard (Robin), all residing in the United States, as is the mother of his grandsons, Rev. Christine Brownlie. Rob is also survived by his devoted “rescue cat” Amy, a constant companion of more than 15 years. He was pre-deceased by his youngest son Chris (Phill) in 1989, and by his wife Dorothy in 1971. In recent years, Rob received much-appreciated help from Kelowna Unitarian friends, particularly Suzanne Stevenson and Laila and Elvin Isaak. After a successful early career in business, in 1958 Rob moved his young family to Maine, where he attended theological seminary, and subsequently served Unitarian congregations in Maine, Massachusetts, and Minnesota before moving to Canada during the Vietnam years. He became minister of the Unitarian Church of Edmonton, where he led the congregation for 15 years. Upon retirement to Kelowna, Rob became well-known as a passionate supporter of civic and cultural organizations. He collected art, especially by local artists, and regularly attended theater, concerts and cultural events. Rob was a wine and food enthusiast and a frequent and appreciated patron of many of Kelowna’s fine restaurants and wineries. Even more, Rob was “the white-haired walker” until age 87, with a daily route of 15 km. or more, often along the Westside Road, but recognized with a wave by motorists all around the Okanagan. He collected cans and bottles during those walks, raising surprising amounts of money over the years for Serena Sterns and her staff at the Drop-in and Information Centre, whose work he greatly admired. An environmentalist even before the word was popular, and with a caring heart for any person or animal “down on their luck”, few people knew the extent to which Rob lived his Unitarian Universalist beliefs and shared everything he had. Rob’s mantra: “Forgive. Love. Give.” What a tribute it would be to Rob, and a comfort to his family and friends, if anyone who is prompted to do so reaches out as he did with “a random act of kindness” -- whether to the earth; to a person in need; or to the SPCA. By Rob’s wish, there will be no formal service. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services, Kelowna, B.C. 250-762-2299.
