Cannan cruises to third riding victory Orchards need warmer days, though might cause flooding
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Every person trying to get elected, whether a veteran or a rookie, will tell you they cannot take any vote for granted. Incumbent KelownaLake Country Conservative MP Ron Cannan is no different. But when you have a history of winning your riding with more votes than all your competitors combined, and you have just won a third term with an increased share of the vote, a whopping 58 per cent, announcing you did it “street by street, door by door, voter by voter” may sound a little over the top. But, hyperbole aside, Cannan’s third cruise to victory in one of the safest Tory seats in the country Monday night was met with as much joy as his two previous victories by his supporters who gathers Monday night at the Delta Grand Hotel. That was, in part, because it came with a bigger prize for his party, the first Conservative majority government under leader Stephen Harper. “One of our goals was to win, and win big. And we did,” said Cannan during his victory speech. Cannan easily beat out his three rivals in the race, second-place finisher Tisha Kalmanovitch of the NDP, who trailed Cannan’s 34,566 votes with 13,322. Liberal Kris Stewart was a distant third with 7,069 votes and Green Party candidate

CELEBRATING HIS victory as the Conservative incumbent candidate for the Kelowna-Lake Country riding in Monday’s federal election, Ron Cannan celebrates with a little help from his wife Cindy. Alice Hooper was fourth with 5,265 votes. While the Conservative and NDP vote totals and share of the vote grew compared with the 2008 election, the Liberal and Green totals and shares fell. Cannan said he attempted to take the “high
road” during the campaign, shrugging off attempts by opponents to, in his words, bait him. “Some things were said during the election campaign by our opponents who tried to bait us, but we bit our tongue and took the high road,” he said. “When you take the

la Fraser from several years ago. The report defended the then minority Conservative government from the accusation it was in contempt of Parliament for not revealing the true cost of anti-crime pro-

Weather in the next month or so will be a critical factor in determining whether we can expect flooding this spring, due to the deep snow that’s accumulated in the hills around this valley. Because it’s been such a cold spring, little of the snow that fell all winter has melted yet and even more has been added to it in the last month or so. Meteorologist David Jones with Environment Canada says this past month has been among the coldest five on record, due to a combination of the effects of La Nina and the Pacific Decadel Oscillation. While La Nina results in colder than normal temperatures in the Pacific Ocean and causes colder and wetter than normal weather in this part of the world, the PDO is a pattern of Pacific climate variability that also can result in cooler surface waters in the Pacific, translating into cooler inland temperatures. Jones said the result of a lower freezing level has been a snowpack that is still accumulating instead of melting as it normally would at this time of year. Temperatures were about two degrees lower than normal during April, with an average mean temperature of 6.3 C, compared to the normal of 8.5 C. Up until April 22, the high temperature for the month was only 14 C, he noted. However, he says La Nina never persists through summer. Dave Campbell, head of the River Forecast Centre for the province, says while they haven’t yet analyzed data from the snowpack measurements done around May 1, he does anticipate there could be as much as 20 per cent more than the normal amount of snow in local watersheds for the time of year. How it will melt off depends on weather conditions in the coming six weeks or so. The colder, wetter weather that is a feature of La Nina continues this spring, leading to concerns that all See Weather A5

Defeat points to rebuilding process Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
“Oh…wow,” deadpanned Liberal contender Kris Stewart Monday night, her eyes transfixed on the TV above her, as national voter tallies rolled in. Liberals, she was learning with the rest of the country, weren’t going to paint the town red in victory. They were in the middle of a civilized version of a political bloodbath which, while not unforeseen locally, was unprecedented on a national stage. “It’s disappointing,” she said, learning that Conservatives took a majority with 167 seats. The NDP slotted into the official opposition with 102 seats, and Liberals fell to a paltry 34 seats. Locally, in Kelowna Lake Country’s riding, MP Ron Cannan slid into a comfortable lead with 34,566 votes compared to Stewart’s third place showing of 7,069. “This NDP surge was unexpected,” Stewart said. “I haven’t quite wrapped my head around it all.” Stewart wasn’t the only one having a hard time coming to grips with the historic turn of events. Murmurs of surprise
KATHY MICHAELS/CAPITAL NEWS
KRIS STEWART monitors the election results on Monday night. fast became a feature of the 30-plus Liberal supporters gathered at Hannah’s to mark the end of a vigorous campaign effort. Among their ranks was 18-year-old Michael McDonald who, decked out in Liberal red for his first election, was noticeably rattled by the night’s results. “This is mind boggling,” he said. “We now have a right wing govern-
ment like Canada’s never seen.” Stewart’s campaign manager, Dr. Islam Mohamed, offered a measured view of the shift in power. “Come fall, when the party meets, there will be a lot of looking back at this, and a lot of looking to the future,” Mohamed said. “The Liberal Party has a great history. So much of what’s done is at the
core of this country.” Problem is, he said, it wasn’t a message Canadians were taking heed of this election. “The national platform was solid, blending fiscal conservatism with a strong social policy, but clearly we didn’t reach Canadians with our message,” he said. “We’ll have to look at how we can do that in the future.” According to UBC Okanagan political science instructor Wolf Depner, the party is going to have to find those answers soon, because it may not have much gas left. “Saying the party is dead is a little bit exaggerated, but it’s on life support,” he said, pointing out that the Liberal’s 18.9 per cent national showing closely mirrors 1993 election results. Then Progressive Conservatives, under Kim Campbell, got 16.4 per cent of the vote and the party was all but eliminated from the House of Commons and its future was put on a downward trajectory. The Liberals ended up with more seats this time around, but unless they can get a grip on who they are, he said, or they may not fare much better in elections to come. The problem of inef-
fective communication, however, isn’t new and can be traced back more than a decade. “It started in the Jean Chretien and Paul Martin years, where there was a preoccupation with personality,” he said. In those years, the message of what it means to be a Liberal wasn’t pronounced, but their standing in Canada was taken for granted. Subsequent party leaders were weak, which continued to erode the party’s standing. And this time around, it was structural problems, like a lack of money and inconsistent messaging, that ultimately landed them in third. “I can look at the NDP and the Conservatives and know what they stood for, but I can’t do that with the Liberals,” Depner said, pointing out that some of the weak messaging could be due to a lack of ad dollars. At some points in the campaign, the Conservatives were outspending Liberals 15:1. “Now they have to start from scratch, burn the policy book, open a rigorous debate about what the party stands for in the future, then settle on the political personality to sell those ideals,” he said.

Alternative idea gains ground Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Huddled in the back of the North End Café, with a spread resembling a potluck, the NDP camp’s election night celebration could not have been more spartan or more jovial. Among the bottles of beer and tables of food, a somewhat tired Tisha Kalmanovitch played host as cheers spontaneously broke with each punch of the NDP orange delivered on the live newsfeed; candidate after candidate winning to produce an NDP official opposition with 102 seats. “I’m happy. What we aimed for as a success was to increase our percentage of the vote locally,” said Kalmanovitch. “People might now start thinking that there is an alternative to the Conservatives.” At the end of the evening, with 13,322 votes to her name, Kalmanovitch held 22 per cent of the vote— up significantly from the 15 per cent achieved by Tish See Gains A4

Candidate disappointed by drop in riding vote percentage Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Alice Hooper expects to do a lot of door-knocking in the next four years as she tries to regain some of the Green votes in the Okanagan, having received eight per cent of the vote Monday night. Though her showing was over double the na-

tional average of just over three per cent, the previous candidate, Green Party stalwart Angela Reid, got 13 per cent in the last election. “I had to re-evaluate this morning. Initially I was disappointed with the results but when you look at the national average, I actually did twice as good as most,” she said.
If in the coming years she ever loses faith in the process, though, or grows a little green with envy at the ease with which other candidates can collect votes, the thought of Elizabeth May’s groundbreaking win will be there to ease the tension. “It was very exciting,” Hooper said. “I’m so glad Elizabeth
Alice Hooper got in; that’s the best news
ever.” The seat, in the Saanich-Gulf Island riding, marks the first for the Green Party in Canadian history. “She worked so hard ‘disappointed’ wasn’t the word if she would have lost. It would have been so discouraging,” said Hooper. That hard work is what
Hooper figures will win her more votes as well. While she doesn’t know if the people who told her they would vote Green while she was mainstreeting actually did, her sense is that this face-to-face contact is the way to win over voters. “People like Ron Cannan have had the benefit of doing that for eight
years,” she said. “I’m regrouping today, obviously, life isn’t going to be the same.” Nevertheless, as caring for the planet and sustainability are issues close to her heart, Hooper says she figures she will be back on the campaign trail. “You never know,” she concluded. “Four years is a long time.”

Taking away votes from the Liberals Gains from A3 Lakes in the last election. Nevertheless, the evening likely held the hallmarks of many NDP celebrations across the country with candidates who started the race not expecting to win, or achieve results anywhere near as positive as delivered, finding themselves in serious contention. Campaign chair Sean Russo, for example, wasn’t present for much of the night, spending an evening on the road helping volunteers and leaving the polling station results to a core group trying to track numbers on their own spreadsheet. The set-up meant no one in the room had real numbers when the Conservative and Liberal camps started seeing results and Kalmanovitch’s initial neck-and-neck showing with Conservative Ron Cannan almost went unnoticed. “You’re kidding,” the candidate said when she heard, before turning to shout out the news to the rest of the room. Those milling about—a mix of local activists, labour movement heads and a solid youth contingent—erupted into a huge cheer, buoying an already the elevated spirit. Whether youth actually had an impact on this election, locally or nationally, could not be determined by Tuesday, though there was speculation the cross-country Vote Mobs were playing a role in the NDP’s success. Michael McDonald, a Kelowna high school student who voted for the first time Monday morning, said he felt disheartened by the national vote results. “The NDP forming the Opposition, I can live

Reflecting on the Conservative win, he added: “When we see where this party takes us, we are going to be saying, ‘Where are we living?’ “The political landscape of Canada has been forever altered.” Nowhere is this altered political reality more evident, though, than in Quebec where the NDP all but pushed the Bloc Québécois off the political map, taking 58 of the 75 seats in the province.

that snow could melt suddenly when it does warm up finally. Jones forecasts it will remain cool for the next while—a forecast that isn’t encouraging for orchardists. Joe Sardinha, president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, says he hasn’t heard of any major problems in valley orchards caused by the cold weather yet, but some cherry growers have been using their wind machines to prevent damage from frost. Cherries have begun to bloom, and many of the soft fruits such as apricots and peaches are nearly finished. In the southern part of the valley, apples are getting close to what is called the pink stage of the bud. It’s a point at which the blossoms are susceptible to low temperatures. In addition, bee flight is delayed if the weather is cool during blossom, and some fruit trees depend on bees for pollination. Even those varieties that are self-fertile benefit from bee activity, he said. A consistent patch of warmer weather is needed at this time of year in order for this year’s crop to get off to the best start, said Sardinha.

Three local wineries brought home two top awards each in this year’s Best of Varietal Wine Awards, as part of the Spring Okanagan Wine Festival which continues through this weekend. Judged by the winemakers themselves in a blind tasting, the results of these awards are often quite different from those judged by professional wine judges for the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival. Plus, the wines judged for the fall awards are not judged against each other within a varietal class to pick a top wine, but are simply judged on their own merits for gold, silver or bronze medals. Sandhill, Gray Monk and Mission Hill Family Estate all brought home wins in two categories each this spring, while two other Central Okanagan wineries also each won the top award in one category—CedarCreek and The View.

Accidental 911 calls cause headaches Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Staff at the RCMP’s local 911 call centre are speaking out in the hopes fof reducing the large number of accidental calls made to the emergency number, wasting time that could be spent responding to real emergencies. In a two-week period last month, the call centre, based in Kelowna, received 1,938 abandoned calls to 911, averaging out to 138 calls daily that opferators and police officers had to track down and verify. “We calculated that tjust over 110 hours were spent by operators in locating and verifying abandoned calls, which equates to about eight hours per day,” said Staff Sgt. Troy kGross, manager of the Kelowna 911 Operations Communications Centre (OCC). “That time is exponentially longer for po-
Cooler spring weather left impact
lice officers on the road to follow up on abandoned calls. That precious time could be spent on investigating more serious offences and responding to real emergencies,” said Gross. And the problem is not just confined to last month. In 2010, the OCC, which serves 660,000 people in the Interior, received 221,073 calls, of which 46,033 were abandoned. Over half (53 per cent) were generated from mobile devices. Operators are required to call back dropped calls to determine whether they are real emergencies, Gross noted. If the operator is unable to get hold of anyone, attempts to locate the caller are the next step and a police officer is dispatched to verify the call physically. Determining the location of a cell phone dropped/abandoned call
requires much more effort. It means contacting the cell service provider to obtain subscriber information, obtaining their GPS coordinates and then dispatching police to the location. Operators and officers alike are asking the public to please stay on the line if you accidentally call 911 and simply tell the operator there is no emergency. The operator will appreciate you saving them the time. Additionally, pick up the phone when you receive a call back after accidentally dialing the emergency line. This will avoid having a police officer knock on your door. Other very useful tips to eliminate accidental dialing of 911 include: • Removing your mobile phones and wireless devices from your pockets while you are driving or in a car to avoid accidental “pocket dialing.” • Removing 911 from
your programmed speed dials whether on your mobile phone or land line. • If you realize you have dialed 911 by accident, please call back to let an operator know there is no emergency. For more information on when to call for emergency assistance, visit www.bc.rcmp.ca.

NEWS ▼ FEDERAL ELECTION
Majority win called ‘great day’ for Canada Victory from A1 grams, and new fighter jets to Parliament. It was that finding that prompted the non-confidence vote that led to the election. When the mistake was pointed out, the Conservative MPs who wrote the report apologized. Cannan’s name was on the report and the apology
because he was a member of the committee, though appointed after the report was written. When he explained that, Stewart said Cannan should have been aware of what the committee did before he was appointed to it. At his victory party Monday, Cannan wore a Vancouver Canucks jersey with his name on
Ho Home of your FRIENDLY BUTCHER
the back and suddenly stopped halfway through his speech to lead the 200 people on hand in an impromptu rendition of the national anthem. When he returned to his prepared remarks, he vowed the new Conservative government would concentrate on improving the economy, and praised Conservative leader Stephen Harper and former Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Stockwell Day, whom he called a mentor. Following his speech, Cannan told reporters he
hopes to see civility return to the House of Commons and called the new Conservative majority a “great day for Canadian democracy.” Cannan said the majority of seats in the Commons will allow his party to move ahead on its “tough” anti-crime agenda and to finally kill the long-gun registry. He noted $145 million of federal funding has been funneled into the riding since he was first elected 5 1/2 years ago but could not say if any more
money will be coming because the stimulus funding to jump start the Canadian economy has ended. Campaign worker Barb MacCarl welcomed the NDP as the official Opposition, calling the re-election of Cannan, the majority Conservative government and the dramatic drop in the Liberal vote across the country “the perfect outcome.” “I think (Prime Minister) Stephen Harper will be able to do what he wants to do now,” said MacCarl.

City settles on 2.47% tax hike Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
City councillors expressed frustration at financial responsibilities that forced them to peg the tax increase at 2.47 per cent, up from the 2.05 they’d initially struggled to maintain. “This year we tried to keep the tax increase to two per cent,” said Coun. Luke Stack. “Quite a bit of belttightening had to be done to do that.” Now, he said, looking at a list of fixed expenses and projections for years to come, it looks like before council even starts (next year’s) process that there would be a 3.1 per cent increase as the starting point. “This has been a bit of a shock,” added Mayor Sharon Shepherd. “This is the first time I remember a final budget that went so different to what we worked to maintain.” Initially, continued Shepherd, she was of the understanding that the $200,000-plus dollars needed to replace copper wiring that had been stolen from lampposts was the budget-boosting culprit. But it turned out that was covered off elsewhere so the hike was merely a matter of dwindling incomes from a weak new construction market and new pressures on their coffers. And raising taxes, contended city staff, is the only way forward. “In these tight economic times, staff are focused on core services and utilizing current resources as effectively as possible,” a report from city manager Ron Mattiussi indicated. When all is said and done, the 2.47 per cent hike will result in an additional cost of $39 for the owner of an average $484,000 single-family Kelowna home. Offsetting that rate, however, is a decrease in the school tax rate and an increase in the annual homeowner grant.

H
ealth care. Education. The HST. There’s no shortage of hot-button issues clamouring for government attention as a possible provincial election looms. But there’s an elephant in the room, one that has been ailing for nearly a decade. B.C.’s legal system is in big trouble. Provincial funding cuts dating back to 2003 have reduced the number of sitting judges, fuelling a trial backlog that increasingly lets criminals go free
because of unconstitutional delays. The result? More than 2,100 cases are now at risk of being tossed out of court due to waits that threaten to violate the accused’s right to be tried within a reasonable time. Savvy defence lawyers are exploiting the dysfunction in the system to their advantage. Accused criminals—some charged with serious crimes such as impaired driving causing bodily harm—are getting

away scot-free. But perhaps the hardest hit are the victims —regular people impacted by crime and relying on a deteriorating legal system. The verdict on the possibility of a quick fix is grim. February’s provincial budget approved another $14.5 million in cuts to the judicial system for 2011-12, followed by a funding freeze for the next two years, until 2014. This despite the fact a tax on legal services—originally creat-
ed to support legal aid—funnels $145 million each year into the province’s general revenues. Aside from health care, one would be hard-pressed to identify an issue that cuts across all walks of life and has, directly or indirectly, affected nearly everyone. If Premier Christy Clark is serious about her “Putting Families First” platform, fixing B.C.’s debilitated justice system must be among her top priorities.

here were no lost their seats. CITY whom end of story Then there was the CONFIDENTIAL election of Elizabeth lines coming out of Monday’s federal May, Canada’s first election. Green Party MP. The historic vote But more than any had everything from the of that, what Monlong-sought after maAlistair day’s vote has done jority for Stephen HarpWaters is polarize Canadian er’s Conservatives to federal politics like the surprisingly strong, never before. first-ever second-place showing by Harper was partially right when the NDP. There was the meltdown he said this election gave Canadians a of the once-mighty Liberal Party, the clear choice between visions of Canpolitical annihilation of the Bloc Que- ada. The part he got wrong was the becois, the resulting resignation of choice was not between his rightLiberal leader Michael Ignatieff and wing Tories and centre-right Liberals, Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe, both of it was between his party and left-lean-
ing NDP. Despite the newly minted Tory majority, anyone expecting a more civil, less raucous House of Commons should think again. Political rhetoric in this country is about to explode as the Conservatives use their new found power to push through all the legislation they wanted to pass but claimed to be blocked by the bigger numbers on the opposing side. Running a government he admits is more conservative than a majority of Canadians, Harper will point to his 167 seats as his licence to lead as he sees fit. The NDP will counter by saying the Conservatives were elected with just 39 per cent of the total vote.
But, bombast aside, there is little any Opposition can do when facing a majority government. The Conservatives have already said that within the first 100 days of its new mandate, the tough-on-crime legislation it has long promised will become a reality. The long-gun registry—something the Tories hate but police chiefs across Canada support—will be history and the budget the Harper minority government could not get passed before it fell will get the go ahead. Locally, the Kelowna-Lake Country and Okanagan-Coquihalla ridings once again proved to be safe seats for anyone wearing Tory blue. Incumbent
Ron Cannan (Kelowna-Lake Country) and newcomer Dan Albas (Okanagan-Coquihalla) easily cruised to victory, taking 57 and 53 per cent of the vote respectively. The lack of attention paid to the two local ridings by all the federal leaders during the campaign showed just how safe those seats are believed to be. In Kelowna-Lake Country, the Conservative and NDP vote share went up, while the Liberal and Green share fell. As is always the case here, when it comes to federal elections, it’s the big picture that is worth watching. The small picture is a foregone conclusion.

▼ JOE GAAL
A mother’s reminder 22 years after son’s death To the editor: Joe Gaal, a 29-yearold former Kelowna Daily photographer and photo journalist covering the Soviet/Afghan conflict for AP, was found dead in Thailand while on a break from the war in April, 1989. His return from Hong Kong to his home base in Peshawar, Pakistan, included a brief stopover in Thailand. It was there that he met an early demise April 30, 1989 while a guest at Ocean View Hotel in Pattaya, a hotel run by powerful drug lords later labelled as being responsible for numerous tourist deaths. Reuter News reported over 150 mysterious tourist deaths in Pattaya within a period of 18 months, from 1988 to 1989. The Pattaya police implied accidental drowning: “with no injuries or wounds of any kind,” a ruling very quickly adopted Canadian authorities.
Joey hated swimming pools, and friends here in Kelowna spoke often of his refusal to even enter a pool. Knowing this, drowning appeared very suspect. Realizing that fact takes precedent over fiction, private investigations were begun, and soon uncovered 12 injury photos taken poolside. Our greatest fears were realized. Joey had been brutally beaten with severe head injuries, facial lacerations and bruising, with dried blood that should have washed off in a pool. A suspected gunshot wound in the left chest, and arms and legs in a state of rigor not typical of drowning. Joey’s tongue was cut out and the pericardium surrounding the heart was missing. Cover up became the name of the game. Informants came forward, one Thai and one Canadian, both living in Pattaya in 1989, and both
providing similar but independent details of the murder. A few years later, an American teacher told of an unusual friend from Kelowna. Sue spoke of being poolside at Ocean View Hotel in Pattaya when a body appeared on the pool deck across from her. She and her friends had swum in the pool for two hours, along with other hotel guests, and no one saw the body before then. Most wore goggles. Sue was told it was a Canadian. Describing the scene as ominous, they hurriedly left Ocean View Hotel a few hours later due to the frightening experience. The injury photos were examined by an expert from Eastman Kodak confirming the injuries and non-typical drowning position of the limbs. The autopsy reports were reviewed by a well respected U.S. pathologist who wrote that the Thailand
findings of “severe hydopulmonitis (drowning) is inconsistent with the weight of the lungs,” also, “no fusion of the aterolateral suture sounds like a skull fracture, the brain is heavy suggesting cerebral edema with head truama as the cause of death.” Important evidence, too much to include in this letter, has been ignored, proving this death as anything but an accidental drowning. Trying to determine why Canadian authorities had a need to close this case at least three times was not difficult to understand as multi-million dollar Canadian government contracts with Thailand were being negotiated or in place. These inclued a 1989 SNC Lavalin bid to build a rapid transit system, a 1994 Canadian military arms and Bell Helicopter sales to Thailand, etc. All incorporated with Canada’s Foreign Affairs Department of Consolar
Operations and Trade. Mulroney and Chretien obviously considered the life of Canadians expendable and multimillion-dollar Thailand contracts took precedence. Foreign Affairs boasts protection of Canadians abroad but rarely rises to the challenge willingly. The death of Joe Gaal is indeed considered to be a cold case, but cold cases do get solved. “There is no statute of limitations on murder.” To those who have taken time to provide valuable evidence, I thankyou. To those who are still withholding important evidence, (trivial or otherwise) and to authorities in both Thailand and Canada, I leave you with this thought: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”—Edmund Burke. Arlene Gaal, (Joey’s mom) Kelowna

Only in Kelowna do we see such sights To the editor: Where else in Canada can you ride a bike without a helmet, on the sidewalks, on the highway; ignore all the Don’t Walk signs at the traffic lights; bike down wrong side of road; don’t have to look when entering a crosswalk or crossing a side street; jaywalk across a major highway; cross the street anywhere you want on the downtown main street? Only in Kelowna, I bet! Where else in Canada do you tout yourself as a tourist destination but have made absolutely no provisions for camp sites, RV parking, and have only three boat launches available which have no parking places for your boat trailer and vehicle? Only in Kelowna, I bet! Where else in Canada is a tourist bureau located on a one way street, heading out of town? Only in Kelowna, I bet! Where else in Canada is there a beautiful
six-lane highway through the center of town where the citizens are forced to endure bumper to bumper traffic behind every logging truck, gravel truck, semi trailer truck, cement truck and every other big rig because of two ridiculous empty HOV lane? Only in Kelowna, I bet! Where else in Canada does city council get to have five possible friends dictate whether they deserve a raise or not, instead of letting the citizens determine whether they deserve one ? Only in Kelowna, I bet! Where else in Canada does this same city council keep passing bylaw after bylaw and have nobody to enforce them?

Where else in Canada does this same city council keep ignoring the wants and needs of the majority of its citizens? Ie: The CD 21 zone fiasco; now the proposed Cedar Creek park uproar and finally the new seniors center with 1000 sq. ft. less space on two levels so the folks with walkers and scooters have no accessability, and no dedicated parking? But this same council figures $72,000 for landscaping at the new place is OK. Only in Kelowna, I bet!

Driving Hwy 97 is dangerous Express yourself To the editor: I noticed on my last trip to Penticton, that a lot of highway work is being carried out on Highway 97, and that’s sure great that the work is being done prior to summer. Now, if there is only something that can be done about the drivers. Never have I seen performances of lousy situations all in one day. If one tries to drive the speed limit, you are tail-gated (with
high beams on); amber lights are a signal to put the metal to the floor; and a work zone sign does not exist. I would hate to be a worker on the highway. It appears that the RCMP is lacking in their duty to those who are employed to maintain our highways. Maybe I am “old fashioned” in my thoughts on this subject, but I do know this: Driving courtesy in B.C. is becoming non-existent, and should
be repaired more than our roads. Highway patrols do this and not with a “ghost car” but a properly marked vehicle designed to do the job. We recently had a day of mourning for those who died on the job, this includes our highway workers and those who drive for a living. Ron Barnard, West Kelowna

Members of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, a combination of RCMP and municipal police department resources, were in the Okanagan to turn up the heat on suspected gang criminal activities and identify known gang members. To help reinforce that point, the local media were invited along to see how the CFSEU is able to go about doing just that. Capital News photographer Sean Connor was part of the media group, tagging along with the CFSEU patrol last Friday and Saturday evenings. See story, photos on A3

Chemical scare evacuates postal outlet Fire officials believe pepper spray or animal spray was the reason some 40 postal workers began feeling ill Tuesday morn-

dispatched to the Canada Post facility at 720 Baillie Ave., located in the north end, after more than three dozen employees said
they began experiencing sore throat symptoms. Given the number of people with symptoms and the type of facility, the

Police and ambulance were called, and Hazmat crews searched the building after it was evacuated. “Nothing suspicious was found,” said Brolund. The symptoms employees were suffering, said Brolund, was “consistent with” pepper or animal spray. Postal employees are issued such a spray, he added. The 40 people suffering from sore throats had their symptoms go away once they were out in the fresh air and postal employees returned to work later that morning.

Auto theft stats reflect decline in theft numbers Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
With the arrest of two people in a bait car over the weekend, RCMP say their efforts to combat auto crime are continuing to have an impact on local theft numbers. “At one time, auto theft was a very serious issue in our community,” said Const. Steve Holmes. Through partnerships with IMPACT (Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team), the use of bait cars and a local police team targeting prolific offenders, Holmes said, “We’ve been able to reduce these numbers drastically.” In 2006, the first year of the bait car program in Kelowna, there were 927 vehicle thefts. That number dropped to 605 thefts locally last year, RCMP statistics show.

“The bait car program continues to be a very useful and successful tool in the reduction of auto thefts in our community,” said Holmes. The latest arrest as a result of a bait car happened on Sunday evening. Around 6:40 p.m., RCMP received confirmation that a bait car had been stolen from the downtown core. Some 15 minutes later, RCMP officers stopped the vehicle and arrested two Kelowna residents—a 35-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman. Court records indicate a charge of theft of a motor vehicle has been laid against 35-year-old Christian Joseph Denis Cote. He was released from custody on Monday and was expected to appear in court Tuesday afternoon. Results of that court appearance were not known at press deadline.

“The program is an important initiative for the city as it makes ‘greening’ neighbourhoods affordable for residents,” said Lorna Rowland, landscape design technician. “The fall is ideal for planting trees as the winter months give the root systems time to develop.” The NeighbourWoods program is a residential planting initiative developed to encourage citizens and communities to grow and preserve our urban forest. According to an Urban Forest Effects Analysis completed in 2007, Kelowna’s tree canopy was at about 13 per cent, while the recommended tree cover for our area is 25 per cent. NeighbourWoods was not able to secure funding for the spring 2011 program, but with the TD Green Streets award and the city’s continued support, the program will be back this fall. In 2010, residents bought 1,000 discounted trees ($30/tree, including taxes) to plant on their properties.

OPEN YEAR ROUND 7 Days a Week for Lunch
Speeder lucky his life didn’t stop with his car Police say a driver who slammed a car into the back of a flat deck trailer and then fled after responding to offers of first aid with expletives has been found. The 29-year-old was found by police at his home on Friday, a day after his Honda Prelude became wedged under the trailer, which had been carrying a mobile home. Around 4:40 p.m. on Thursday, the driver of the tractor trailer carrying the mobile home had pulled over on Highway 97 near Oceola Drive in Lake Country when suddenly a vehicle, which witnesses say was traveling at a high rate of speed, slammed
into the trailer. The roof of the car was compressed almost down to the body frame and police say it is likely the driver would have suffered fatal injuries, had it not been a right hand drive. The driver managed to extricate himself and was picked up by another vehicle before police arrived. When RCMP tracked the driver down the following day, they learned he had gone to Kelowna General Hospital after the crash to be treated for minor injuries. Officers served the man with two tickets— one for failing to remain at the scene of an accident and another for driv-

MacDonald leashes emotions to win It was only his third fight for the Ultimate Fighting Championship but Kelowna’s Rory MacDonald may have solidified his status as one of the organization’s rising stars at UFC 129 in Toronto on the weekend. MacDonald was dominant in winning a unanimous decision in Toronto on the weekend, improving his overall Mixed Martial Arts record to 11-and1 and moving to 2-and1 on a five fight contract with the UFC. The 21-year-old controlled a fight with Nate Diaz from the opening bell, culminating with three suplex throws in the final round that cemented his victory. The win came after his first UFC loss 10 months ago in a fight MacDonald led until late in the final round when he lost by TKO. This time though was different. “I learned how to use my technique,” MacDonald told www.mmafighting.com after the fight. “My last fight I carried a lot of emotion and got psyched out but I didn’t let that happen tonight.” MacDonald is one of the youngest fighters in the UFC and said he has gotten stronger in the past year. “I’ve done a lot of work within the past 10 months in strength and

RORY MACDONALD was a convincing winner Saturday against Nate Diaz at UFC 129 in Toronto. conditioning,” he said. “My power and explosiveness has gone through the roof.” That was evidenced by the throws in the final round that put an exclamation mark on a convincing win. After winning the first two rounds with
a combination of punches and take-downs, MacDonald picked up and threw Diaz to the ground three times in the span of a minute, prompting UFC announcers to question whether they had ever seen that before. MacDonald cred-
ited the training he received working with the same trainer as Georges St. Pierre for the power moves. “I feel like I’m strong and explosive in positions like that and it shows.” MacDonald’s next UFC fight is unknown.
Rockets set for bantam draft The homework is all but finished for Lorne Frey. The Kelowna Rockets player personnel director is ready to put a year of studying and scrutinizing young talent into effect on Thursday at the WHL’s bantam draft in Calgary. The draft of 1996born players will be web cast for the first time ever on www.whl.ca. Frey and his scouting staff, along with general manager Bruce Hamilton met this week to put together a list of the prospects they will take to the draft, looking for the players they feel will be the best fit for the team in the coming years. “I think it’s a strong draft year,” said Frey. “It’s a solid draft. There are certainly a lot of good players that are relatively the same. I think this may be the most difficult year in making decisions because a lot of the higher end players are all relatively the same. There isn’t a lot of separation among all of the players so it will be difficult.” The Rockets will select 15th overall in the draft and are expecting to take as many as 10 play-
ers as the draft progresses. Unlike some years Frey says picking lower down isn’t a bad position due to the quality of the players and how close they are in talent. “We think we’re going to get some good solid players and certainly everyone will,” said Frey. “It’s a question of how they turn out down the road, that’s the big thing. We hope that we make some good selections.” As far as strategy heading into the draft, Frey said the Rockets will look to select the best player available when their turn comes around early in the draft before looking to fill in gaps in specific positioning later.
“I think in the first couple rounds we’re going to take what we feel is the best guy and go from there,” said Frey. “Then towards the middle or late rounds if we feel we need a defenceman then we will take a look at that.” If the Rockets can duplicate what they did at the 2010 bantam draft the club will be happy. Kelowna selected two top defensive prospects early last year and both Jesse Lees and Madison Bowey made impressive debuts with the team this year. Players eligible for the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft will be 1996-born players who reside in Western Canada and the Western U.S.
Sherbino wins Vancouver Marathon, 2nd entry ever Keddi-Anne Sherbino
Keddi-Anne Sherbino has proven to be a natural in a pair of running shoes. The 21-year-old from Kelowna was the first woman to cross the finish line Sunday in the 2011
edition of the Vancouver Marathon. Sherbino, who won the race in two hours 43 minutes 40 seconds, was competing in only her second marathon ever.
To make the performance even more startling is the fact she didn’t begin running seriously until 2009. Sherbino was greeted at the finish line in Van-
couver by Boston Marathon winner Kathrine Switzer. Sherbino won a marathon on her first try, the Okanagan Marathon last fall in Kelowna, in a time
of 2:53:38. Earlier this season, Sherbino also won the Campus to Campus Half Marathon in Kelowna. Among other local finishers were:
Eric Malmsten (3:22:31); Daryl Brooker (3:23:00), Shane Hickey (3:44:38); and Chris Greenway (3:59:53). For complete results, visit bmovanmrathon.ca.

Their busiest stretch of the season—eight games in 12 days—came to a disappointing conclusion for the Okanagan College Coyotes over the weekend in Kamloops. The Coyotes dropped all four games in Canadian Collegiate Baseball Conference action to slip to 8-15 on the season. In the opener on Saturday, the TRU Wolfpack beat the Coyotes 5-2.
Stefan McKee had three hits in the loss. In Game 2, Vancouver Island Baseball Institute won 6-1 as OC left 10
men stranded on base. Reed Quall and Nolan Dizak had two hits each. On Sunday, VIBI beat OC 5-4. Pete Tollenaar pitched a strong 5 2/3 innings and came out of the game leading 4-3. Brandon Klym came on in relief and suffered the loss. McKee and Brady Guimond had two RBIs each.
In the finale, Cory Wood went six innings and took the loss in a 7-5 win for TRU. A controversial call by an umpire with the bases loaded led to three runs for the Wolfpack who battled back from a 5-1 deficit. McKee had two RBIs. The Coyotes return to action Saturday at Elks Stadium when they host VIBI.

center Ty Shannon proved to be too much for the crows as he scored four tries and set up two other tries for the Sheep. The win puts the Sheep into the division championship game against United which will be held May 7 on the Brockton Oval in Stanley Park.

The Sharks, who took a 5-0 record into the final, dropped an 8-3 decision to the Red Deer Rustlers in the platinum/gold championship game. “Full credit to the Rustlers,” said Dave Acheson, head Coach of the Sharks. “The Rustler’s are a well disciplined, well coached team. The Rustler’s are one of the top three teams in Alberta. Coach Brent Fudge has been at this game for 14 years, four years with this particular squad. They were the class of the tournament. I’d like to get another crack at them next

NEWS ▼ POSTER CONTEST
Local students get creative with Clean Air Day ideas Nearly 200 students from 10 local schools created imaginative, colourful posters to show what their streets would look like without cars. The Clean Air Day poster contest is one way the City of Kelowna raises awareness of harmful vehicle emissions among young people and their parents. This year’s theme for the contest was: My Street, Car Free. “Students responded with amazing pictures that showed how important biking, walking and just generally being active is to them,” said Kate Bergen, regional air quality coordinator. Daylath Mendis, a Grade 6 student at Casorso Elementary, was the overall winner of the poster contest. Casorso Elementary had the greatest number of posters in the contest. Daylath won a new bicycle donated by Kelowna Cycle and her drawing will be made into a poster that will be distributed to all schools in the district to promote Clean Air Day on June 8.

Exhibit celebrates woodwork artistry When other girls could be found playing with Bratz and Barbies, eightyear-old Kara Jobb was more likely hanging out with her dad in the wood shop tinkering with a band saw. “That was probably the first tool I played with,” said Jobb, thinking back to her days in Terrace when she and her dad would hike over to his buddy’s shop to spend the afternoon turning piles of square boards into useful, and sometimes even artful, objects. Jobb is now among a class of students completing Okanagan College’s inaugural Studio Woodworking program—an eight-month program that delves into the artistic side of woodworking, teaching students the skills necessary to create fine cabinetry, even musical instruments and furniture. On Saturday, May 7, Jobb will be among 18 students displaying their work at the exhibit Engrained held at the Tutt Street Gallery in Kelowna, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jobb’s piece is a tall shelf crafted from two types of wood—cherry and sapele, a hard wood very similar to mahogany that gained popularity when it was used for interior wood trim in Cadillacs.

ferent ways and do some things better than before,” Jobb explained. “My favourite is marquetry where you use paper-thin pieces of veneer to create pictures and then apply them. “My theme was shoes, so I had all these shoes pieced together on a panel.” The program’s blend of practical woodworking and art draws students from all kinds of backgrounds, said instruc-

Students also learn how to market their work, right down to taking high quality photographs using inexpensive lights and simple backdrops. The images can then be used for their portfolio and for their websites. For Jobb, it’s like a dream come true. Eventually she’d like to open her own business, with hopes that her birch plywood longboards will take off.

The new pads are slightly wider and longer, which will extend the launch slightly further into Okanagan Lake. “As some of this work will also be done in the lake, we’ve received the necessary approvals from the ministry of environment and will be taking precautions to protect the water such as installing a silt curtain to contain any sediment that may be disturbed.” Signs advising of the park closure will be posted on both gates and fencing will be installed to close off the site. “We’ll also post a sign that can be seen from the water and floating markers will be installed so that boaters won’t enter the harbour while the park is closed,” Smith said. “Local sports, marine and recreation groups will also be advised of the closure.”

NEWS ▼ ALBERT BALDEO FUNERAL
The reverend was a gardener who cultivated the seeds of love
A
lthough much has been written and said about our dear friend Albert Baldeo, this past week I would be remiss if I didn’t add my thoughts. I don’t believe Albert was a gardener in the typical sense of the word, but
he cultivated the ground under his fellow brothers and sisters by sowing seeds of love, understanding, kindness and wisdom. I know he did this more than any other man of the cloth I have personally known in my life-
time. He was a tireless worker and to my knowledge he never refused to be there for anyone who asked for him. However, I’m sure there must have been times when he could not be in two or more places
at once. Thank you Albert and dear Beryl for being there for my family always. I recall as if it were yesterday when you came to our community immediately embracing it as your own child. I remember thinking:
“What are those poor people you left behind going to do without you?” I remember my parents mentioning and admiring their new minister at St. Paul’s United when Rev. Baldeo arrived in town, and when you asked the congregation
for help making props to get your point across my dad often volunteered my services. One time in particular you needed a branding iron for a sermon, spelled Jesus. Now that was a noble task to test my welding skills.

FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett It is so difficult to imagine our lives without our favourite reverend, but the seeds he sowed were countless, and will multiply and multiply, producing wonderful flowers and fruits growing alongside life’s highway for all of us. It was an honour to attend Baldeo’s memorial service at Trinity Baptist Church last Saturday and listen to the tributes, especially for his own wonderful family. Thank you Rev. Richard Chung and Pastor Tim Schroeder for doing such a wonderful job. And thank you to dear Sylvia and the wonderful St. Paul’s Choir—my dad was there with you in spirit. Unfortunately, I neglected to bring any tissues with me and I ended up with both my shirt sleeves soaking wet by the end of the service, and I know I was not alone. Goodbye my friend. ••• Mark your calendar for May 14 when the Fintry Spring Plant Festival takes place at the Fintry Manor House. This will be a fabulous event for gardeners and non-gardeners alike with over 20 exhibitors including growers, garden clubs, societies and more. This is all to support the Friends of the Fintry who are enabling the restoration and preservation of this wonderful part of our history. The night before this event, make sure you take in the lecture in the theatre, 7:30 p.m. at Okanagan College by Barry Agar, head gardener at Hatley House, Royal Roads University. His topic will be about his job, heritage gardening at the Royal Roads school in Victoria. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 News Talk Sports Saturdays from 8 to 10 a.m.

NEWS ▼ WHAT’S UP DOWNTOWN
It’s renovation time for many downtown shop owners Jan Johnson CONTRIBUTOR
As spring arrives in the Okanagan, everyone’s fancy turns to renovations. Downtown Kelowna is no different as lots of business owners have been busily doing renos on their shops over the past months. t So look for some interesting surprises when you visit your favourite spots this month. Fashion Foundations, a long-time downtown mainstay, has made a big move to a new spot on the ground floor of The Madison building (across from the library, on Ellis near Doyle). The mother and daughter team of Margaret and Susan Wort have made themselves a lovely new home with a luxurious upscale look. As soon as you enter their new store, prepare to be dazzled by the antique wood floors, oak cabinets and rich wallpapers in baroque and striped patterns. Chandeliers through-
CONTRIBUTED
SOME OF the items available at the renovated Olive & Elle shop at 1585 Pandosy St. in downtown Kelowna . out the shop and rich damask curtains on the change rooms give you the feel of an elegant Edwardian ladies’ shop. Margaret and Susan are just delighted with their new digs. Be sure to pay them a visit and expe-
rience their new elegance. Olive & Elle, at 1585 Pandosy St., has also just completed a beautiful store renovation with new floors installed, a wall removed to expose a skylight for more natural light, and the addition of
some new cabinets. The look is very fresh and open. The store is also excited with a new product line, the Dwell Studio line from New York, which includes beautiful bedding as well as gorgeous pillows and rugs. Dwell even has a baby line with cute hooded towels and puzzles for the little ones. Olive & Elle is also now carrying a line of reclaimed and repurposed furniture which is locally made. Local and recycled—what could be better? The shop is chock full of great new items for patio entertaining, just in time for the warm weather. The store celebrates its third anniversary on Saturday, May 7. The planned festivities include an all-day party, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., featuring cupcakes, goodie bags for all, and lots of store specials. Don’t want to miss this one! Chris Murphy, owner of Blackfish Apparel, 1603 Pandosy, has also been busy making chang-
es in her store. Her renos feature fresh paint, new furniture, an extra change room, columns moved and windows exposed for a contemporary, light look. Murphy says that Blackfish is more than ready for spring, with styles from Boools (England) as well as Sandwich and other European lines. They also focus on Canadian lines like Cartise, Fig and Lole. New this year is the Sandal line with lots of bling. Up Bernard Street at Tigerlily, we’ve been busy renovating too. On Easter weekend, we repainted, installed all new wall racks and new lights for a much more urban and upscale look. We’re very excited to be ready for the new season with a cool new look. So, if you want to experience the joy and fun of newly renovated places—without the headache of actually doing the work—come on downtown in May and check out these beautiful, updated shops.

▼ CHERRY HILL COFFEE
Anniversary coincides with online expansion STRAIGHT FROM DEHART
Maxine DeHart It is with overwhelming sadness that I dedicate this week’s column to Rev. Albert Baldeo. Albert was a personal treasured friend and will be missed by all his many family, friends and colleagues. Along with his wisdom, I will miss his wit, smile, poems, treasured gifts and regular column in the Capital News. Roses are red, I am very blue, now that Albert, is sitting in a different pew! As Albert always said, “We will one day all be United!”

BUSINESS
Searching for an opportunity H
ow many times have, while we sat at our desks or when driving our cars, caught ourselves daydreaming about creating an entrepreneurial venture from a germ of an idea? We cross paths with people everyday who fantasize about that, about embarking on an entrepreneurial journey of their own. But with the dream comes the ever-present hesitancy that arises due to the inherent risks associated with it. But make no mistake, entrepreneurship is liberating and empowering, and it’s quite possible to eliminate some of the risks if one zealously engages in a sensible, strategic entrepreneurial process. Such a process should always begin with a search for the right venture idea for you, where you can ultimately source funding and establish a structure for you to exploit the opportunity in the marketplace. Such a process may, at first glance, appear simple and straightforward, but there are some crucial elements within each step of the journey that do empower aspiring entrepreneurs to minimize risk and, ultimately, embrace a successful launch. The world is full of ideas, virtually limitless— there are no lack of opportunities, perhaps more now than as ever been in the case in our country’s history. For clarity, when I talk about an opportunity, I refer to an idea worth pursuing. Entrepreneurial opportunities arise from social and technological changes within our society. The changes we’re going through now—both socially and technologically, in both magnitude and rate—are definitely greater than we’ve ever experienced. So where is that next million dollar idea hiding, waiting to be discovered? The answer is within you. Remember, my old dictums—an entrepreneur looks at the world the same as everyone else but thinks differently. An entrepreneur looks at the world and sees solutions instead of continuing problems. But a great idea alone doesn’t logically guarantee success. An entrepreneur needs to be able to recognize when a concept has a realistic and potentially realizable chance to become something tan-
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young gible, to “ hit it out of the park.” So, opportunity recognition is the mantra of clear choice for our entrepreneurial expedition. How do you recognize this idea that you hope becomes an opportunity for you? What exactly does this little creature look like? It does, in reality, have to do with analyzing both the product or service in relation to the market you hope it will serve, and to explore how those two elements might intersect favourably. I have assembled over the years prior to our move to the Okanagan, and to assist my Saskatchewan clients, associates, friends and students, an Opportunity Screening Guide that will take a bagful of ideas and filter the good from the not so good with a desired outcome of discovering one or two ideas that may logically be moved to a business plan milestone toward venture launch. I have always said to everyone that if your perceived idea can’t make it through my screening guide safely, then perhaps you should abandon that dream and find a new idea. An idea is an opportu-
nity when it is attractive, durable, timely and anchored in a product or service that creates or adds value for its end user. The most successful entrepreneurs are opportunity-focused; they start their journey into the entrepreneurial world with a focus on what the customer and the marketplace wants and needs and never lose sight of these points. Consider these aspects of the planning process:
MARKET DEMAND
We are looking for a potential set of customers in the marketplace who may be currently underserved (such as our aging population) and who may be looking for a particular product or service to fill a specific need that they have. Such a product or service that adds value to people’s lives is the foundation of a successful entrepreneurial venture and will assist in the product or service selling itself.
PASSION
Always a Joel favourite, as my friends and colleagues will attest, as being passionate about your new product or service increases your ability and enthusiasm to market it. It also makes it easier to endure the tough times and testing moments of establishing and building your venture. Because you are passionate about your new dream venture, it becomes easier be-

▼ SERVICE CITATION
Some post-tax season issues addressed Biddlecombe honoured with A s the 2010 personal tax season draws to a close, I can start to reflect and comment on a few of the items that came across my desk this year. The item that had the most impact on a number of taxpayers was the conversion of the Real Estate Investment Trust units, or REITs as they are called by the industry. This year the REITs were required to incorporate, which closed a tax loop hole that appeared with this kind of investment. The result was investors were required to sell their REIT units and purchase corporate units. As we all know, when you sell an investment that has appreciated over time, you may be and most were, subject to capital gains. If you had capital losses in previous years, such as from 2008, you could

capital so that the correct capital gain would be reported on the sale of the investment. Those people who thought they didn’t need to do this and didn’t provide these numbers for their accountants can probably look forward to a reassessment of the values to a higher capital gain down the road. With the use of the computer systems, the CRA is probably figuring out a way to check those capital gain calculations as I write this column. Now that the subject has moved over to computer systems, I also had a few cases where people came into the office not satisfied with bills that they had received from other accounting firms. It always amazes me how firms are able to charge a client a bill that, in my opinion, would mean that the entire tax return had been done manually instead of using a computer program. The slogan that comes to mind for me is ‘buyer beware.’ On the other hand, some people hate change so much that they will continue to pay an
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka have used these losses to offset the gains. Most people found it more beneficial to have the tax savings from a capital loss realized immediately, so any capital losses were usually applied back to the previous year’s gains. A second issue with the REITS pertains to the distribution of earnings. Instead of distributing that income back to you by way of dividends or interest, it was distributed back to you as a return of capital, which in effect reduced your original investment. So when you sold the investment, you may have experienced a larger capital gain than you would have if you had invested in something else. The onus was put onto the investor to keep track of how much they had received by way of return of

When we receive information for a tax return, we usually spend a lot of time putting the documents in order to easily and efficiently enter them into the tax software. If you are wondering what this order might be, every office is different so check with your accounting office. Once we get it in order and scanned, then we enter it into the software at which point we need to consider over 456 items before we come out with a final product that is your tax return. This is the reason why software programs are so popular because it would be very easy to miss something when calculating manually.

My question to them is this : “Do you leave a restaurant without paying, too?” The final item on the investment front is that many people are invested in the safe interest income or other income investments, which contributed to an increase in personal taxes payable this year. Surely your financial planner should be able to help you find some safer tax savings or tax neutral investments? Some married and common law couples choose to file separately.

Harley Biddlecombe was posthumously honoured today with one of the top provincial credit union awards, the B.C Credit Union distinguished service award. Biddlecombe, who served as Valley First Credit Union president and chief executive officer for 31 years, was recognized for his long service and dedication to advancing and strengthening the credit union system. His contributions over many years were felt throughout the province where he served on numerous boards and committees. “Harley was such a powerful force at Valley First and throughout the province,” said Valley First president Paulette Rennie. “For his contribution to the credit union system to be recognized like this is a truly fitting tribute to his memory. “This award has extra special meaning to Valley First because we would not be where we are today if it weren’t for Harley’s passion, vision and leadership.” During his impressive tenure at the helm, Biddlecombe built Valley First from a two-branch operation to become the eighth biggest credit union in the province.
Harley Biddlecombe More recently, he was a major driver behind the merger of Valley First and Envision Financial and the formation of First West Credit Union. Biddlecombe passed away in October 2009 before he could see his hard work become a reality. The award, which was presented at the First West annual general meeting, was accepted by Biddlecombe’s wife Vickie and First West Credit Union vice-chairperson Colleen Lister. Valley First is a division of First West Credit Union, B.C.’s third-largest credit union, which has 37 branches and 29 insurance offices throughout the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Kitimat and Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys. First West has approximately $6.2 billion in assets under administration, 167,000 members and 1,300 employees.

When third-year UBCO visual arts student Hanss Lujan picks up his camera next Friday, Kelowna will look simply mad! With more than a little of that Mad Men, ’60sstyle flare, the party he is photographing should prove stylishly fun. The fifth Go Party—a gallery opening to launch the new Gabor Szilasi exhibition—will be an Audrey Hepburn/Elizabeth Taylor kind of affair and the young photographer set to take photos of the costumed guests is expecting to see the red carpet treatment roll out. “I just want to showcase how everyone in Kelowna has a little bit of elegance,” said Lujan, whose style tends to the trashy chic, according to his regular muse, opera singer Carmen Harris. With four exhibits on display including Szilasi, Barbara Astman’s Dancing with Che: Enter through the Gift Shop, the front room’s high school and middle school work (Art in Action) and the latest Dysfunctional Chairs, Jasmine Reimer’s 1000 lbs. 3 days, there
built to accentuate the Szilasi exhibit, a photographic event designed to accentuate the elegant beauty of the everyday. Szilasi is a Montreal-based photographer whose show, The Eloquence of the Everyday, offers five decades of work with images from Hungary to rural Quebec and Montreal. Szilasi became interested in photography in the early 1950s and went on to document the Hungarian Revolution in Budapest before fleeing the communist regime in 1956. Since immigrating to Canada in 1957, his ca-
reer has largely focused on capturing images of townscapes, cityscapes, architectural views and portraiture. The Eloquence of the Everyday includes early images of Hungary in the 1950s, as well as some made since 1980. The photographs of rural Quebec date principally from the 1970s, while the selection from Montreal span the late 1950s to the present day. Professional and hobby photographers alike will easily connect with the simple yet moving imagery in Szilasi’s work.
And, as at any good party, there are prizes (or at least an auction) with local businesses like Twisted Tomato, Volcanic Hills Estate Winery, Aura Beauty, Bordello’s Italian Pizzeria and Ogopogo Bed and Breakfast kicking in silent auction items. Tickets are $15 for members and $20 for nonmembers, available at the gallery, Mosaic Books or online (www.kelownaartgallery.com). Local jazz café creator Anna Jacyszyn will provide entertainment. The event runs Friday, May 13 from 7 to 10 p.m. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Solid album from R.E.M., though no commercial radio hits R.E.M.: COLLAPSE INTO NOW (WARNER)
This album came out a few weeks ago now but it just came to me in the mail a couple of days ago. I think that the recording label is trying to rekindle interest in this solid new R.E.M. album as it did manage to make the top five in sales in Canada and the USA, while it hit No.1 on the Modern Rock album charts. The odd thing is that this is the first R.E.M. album ever to hit such lofty heights and yet not yield a hit single. Collapse Into Now is the band’s first new album since the highly acclaimed Accelerate album of 2008 that enjoyed a modest hit with Supernatural Superserious, but there has been virtually no airwave play from this new release other than on National Public Radio stateside, who have been raving about this 15th studio offering. There are some finely honed hard rockers here with the U2-ish arena

SOUNDING OFF
SADE: THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION (EPIC)
Bruce Mitchell rocker Discoverer and the humorous garage rocker Mine Smell Like Honey. Patti Smith co-wrote and sings on the dirge rocker Blue where Smith lets loose with some stream of consciousness…poetry? But ballads seem to be R.E.M.’s main strength now that they are aging rockers and there are plenty on this 12-track CD where my faves are the piano-driven Walk It Back and the sanguine folk rock of Every Day Is Yours To Win. Songwriters Buck and Stipe even sarcastically take on the young rockers who have supplanted them on the airwaves with the straight up rocker All The Best that is a little more than cranky at
the younger generation of emo popsters. All in all, this is a fairly solid new studio album from R.E.M. who sound like they are trying hard even this long into a legendary career and who would have guessed that these one time mumblers on Murmur and Reckoning would one day provide a lyric sheet. B-

ic At The Disco have been whittled down to the duo of Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith now that guitarist Ryan Ross and bass player Brent Wilson have left to form The Young Veins. But Panic At The Disco remain a hair brained emo-pop band where you are left shaking your head wondering where they come up with their odd musical choices and off-kilter rock songs. Almost half of the 10 tracks on this strange album shift gears from hard, edgy rock to halfdisjointed outros with strings, ambient noises and cafe jazz endings that seemingly have nothing to do with the songs that just preceded them. There is some accessible dance rock to the lead off track, The Ballad Of Mona Lisa, that has become a minor hit, but the rest of Vices & Virtues is inscrutable. It seems that when the band has only little or thin ideas they press on the production bloat button for what has been described as the day-glo ef-
You could not exactly call British thrush Sade Adu (although she almost never uses her last name) a hurried or prolific artist. She has only released six albums in the last 27 years, but her first two discs gave her a huge career boost with the back-to-back hits Smooth Operator and The Sweetest Taboo in her 1984-85 back-to-back albums. Last year Sade released Soldier Of Love and it was her first album in a decade and frankly, I thought it would sell poorly due to the extended lay off. But much to my surprise Soldier Of Love hit number one in several countries and it stayed there for a few weeks spawning a hit with the title track. Now Sade has released this superb twoCD, 30-track collection
that has all her hits and gives a good perspective on her popularity where Sade has proven to be a major crossover artist. This anthology holds her smooth jazz hit Babyfather, her hot R&B/hip hop hit The Moon And The Sky (included here with a remix by Jay-Z who adds a lengthy rap), her adult contemporary smashes Smooth Operator and The Sweetest Taboo, as well as her dance

music/club play staple Hang On To Your Love. What makes this double disc even more valuable is the four new songs, highlighted by the contemporary dance styled song Love Is Found that foils Sade’s sultry voice with an edgy, textured synth line (making this one of Sade’s best songs ever, to my ears). The songs jump around chronologically which isn’t bothersome given Sade’s simple yet effective style while another dance club option on The Ultimate Collection could be the Neptunes’ hip hop remix of By Your Side.

This DVD carries a 2010 and a 2011 issue date on the back of the liner, so I am wondering if this award-winning documentary has added content for re-release as there is a subtitle: The Making Of Darkness On The Edge Of Town. I have seen that ninety-minute film on PBS cable TV but there has been a few songs added to this DVD from the acclaimed 1978 album, along with a cool Yule cover of Blue Christmas. There is also an added feature that reads Bruce Springsteen: A Conversation With His Fans and this I have not seen on the small screen. Anyway, this video clocks in at almost two and a half hours so big ‘Broooooooose The Boss’ fans may want to take note as this too came in the mail only a few days ago. Abwcmitchell@shaw.ca

Part of why the Okanagan is so awesome has to do with how close all the cities and towns are— you have the opportunity to take in a lot of different experiences over a weekend. For me, it started Saturday morning with a trip to the Kelowna Farmers Market at Springfield and Dilworth with Kayla and Adrian. We were on the lookout for valley-wide famous breakfast wraps but what we didn’t know at the time was the Okanagan Street Food truck has a real location now. Quickly, by asking around, we find other breakfast wraps that more than make up for it. There were Alpaca’s. After Kayla and Adrian went on their way, and with the weather getting warmer, it made sense to meet Rob and Ryan downtown. We were all thinking patio under the sun and
took in the atmosphere at Hanna’s Lounge at 1352 Water St. The view of Okanagan Lake from the patio is breath-taking but dangerous, staring down the South Okanagan proves too tempting. We hit the road, looking
for any excuse to roll the windows down and drive by the water.

MCCONNELL, GERALD GORDON Passed away on April 29, 2011 in Kelowna, BC at the age of 80. Gerald was born in Ridgedale, Saskatchewan on November 2, 1930. He grew up in the small town of northern Saskatchewan of 1930’s and 40’s radio shows and surrounded by a close knit community of Irish cousins. He joined the Canadian Army at age 16 and served until 1970. He had postings across Canada, in England, in Korea and as part of the UN Emergency Force in the Middle East. Gerry was an exceptional photographer and in 1970 turned his skills to become a special constable with the RCMP until his retirement in 1986.

Meredith Lilly, faculty associate at the Centre for Health Services and Policy Research, Susan Holtzman, assistant professor of psychology, and professor Joan Bottorff, director of the Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention—hope their research will influence the strategic planning currently underway to address the burgeoning needs of persons with dementia and their family caregivers. “After more than a decade of concerted effort by policy-makers in Canada and elsewhere to encourage older adults to age at home, there is recognition that the aging-in-place movement has had unintended negative consequences for family members who care for these seniors,” said Lilly. “Unfortunately, the Canadian home care policy environment has placed caregivers in more desperate circumstances. It prevents caregivers from successfully addressing their health and wellness needs by embedding incentives to declare burnout as their only means of receiving assistance.” As part of the research initiative, focus groups were conducted in 2010 with 23 caregivers, and the health professionals who support caregivers in three B.C. southern Interior communities. Two major themes emerged from the analysis of the focus group research: • Caregivers are often abandoned to care alone for their loved ones and they receive very little recognition or the adequate services required to support their caregiving. • Unrealistic expectations for caregivers to look after their own health while in the midst of intense caregiving for a loved one, which adds to the burden they experience. “A fundamental reorientation toward caregivers and caregiver supports is necessary, beginning with viewing caregivers as a critical-health human resource in a system that depends on their contributions in order to function,” said Robinson. As a next step, the research team is awaiting funding for a project designed to support couples where one person has early stage dementia. The aim of this project is to nurture the couple relationship in a way that supports the health and well-being of both the caregiver and the spouse with dementia. May 1 to 7 is Hospice and Palliative Care Week across Canada.
