Canadians are heading to the polls in the fourth national election in seven years. While the leaders of the various parties, as they
do in every election it seems, say this vote creates a clear choice for Canadians, many voters are wondering how did we get here? Was Parliament so dysfunctional that we needed our fourth election since 2004? See Election A3

FEDERAL ELECTION
“I am not paying too much attention to the federal election right now.”
“No. I don’t think there should be an election right now. We’ve had four in Dan Shea, the last seven years. I Kelowna think it’s ridiculious to have an election right now.”
The Capital News went looking for opinions from people in Kelowna’s downtown, asking if you feel it is worthwhile right now to have another federal election.
—Bill Glockner, Medicine Hat, Alta.
“I think it is totally necessary. Our federal government has a minority government has not done anything. We need to throw out the old party system and give somebody else, like the Greens, a chance. Otherwise, nothing ever changes.”
“Yes I do. We need to see some new things happening in this city…We need to see some change and that won’t happen if we don’t elect people or parties with new ideas.
“No. We have had too many elections the past few years— what is it, four in seven years?—and the results are always the same.” —Gos van Huystee, Kelowna
—Caitlind Wilson, Kelowna
—Nathan Salt, Grand Prairie, Alta.
Election call results from historic contempt ruling It was not the first time in Canadian history that a non-confidence vote brought down a government in this country but it was the first time a government was found to be in contempt of Parliament. Election from A1
GOT IT
The Conservatives will tell you no and point to legislation that passed, the need for continued work on an economy not fully recovered from recession and, in their mind, a blind lunge for power by the Opposition. The Liberals, NDP and Bloc Quebecois on the other hand, will tell you the scandals surrounding the Conservative government—from inappropriate advertising spending, prime ministerial aides being investigated for fraud, a cabinet minister and even the government itself being accused of and, in the case of the government, found to be in contempt of Parliament—are reasons to have another election. But, will voting patterns change from the 2004, 2006 and 2008 votes that produced first a Liberal minority government and then two Conservative minorities? And how did a country viewed
by the world as having one of the most stable political systems, end up with three successive governments that could not hold on to power long enough to serve out a full term? These are some of the questions, candidates running for office in the 308 ridings across the country may be asked as they knock on doors looking for votes over the next three weeks. As Stephen Harper tries to secure his long-cherished majority of seats in the House of Commons, he faces the distinct possibility that little will change after all the votes are counted May 2 and the same uncertain and unstable situation will play out again in Parliament. The Liberals’ non-confidence motion that brought down the government two weeks ago was based on the finding of a parliamentary committee that the government was in contempt of Parliament because it did not provide information Opposition MPs requested about the full cost of stealth
jet fighter planes for Canada’s air force and proposed government anticrime programs. Despite the fact a budget was tabled and had not been voted on—the Opposition said it would not support the budget—it was the contempt finding that pushed the Opposition to pull the plug on Canada’s longest serving minority government. For the third time in a row, the Opposition toppled the government and forced an election. It was not the first time in Canadian history that a nonconfidence vote brought down a government in this country but it was the first time a government was found to be in contempt of Parliament. The most famous non-confidence vote was likely the one that toppled the Conservative government of prime minister Joe Clark in 1979, just eight months after it took power. In that case, it was the Tories’ budget that prompted the non-confidence motion.
While the last three Canadian governments have lasted longer than that, the acrimony displayed by MPs on what appeared to be a daily basis during the last session of Parliament heralded an early end for the Conservative government. In 2008, Harper persuaded then Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean to suspend Parliament rather than face a non-confidence vote in the Commons. At the time it appeared then Liberal leader Stephane Dion was willing to form a coalition with the NDP and rely on the support of the Bloc to form a new government. The suspension dampened that attempt and Michael Ignatieff, who replaced Stephane Dion as Liberal leader in 2008, has ruled out a coalition. So one of the questions candidates are likely to hear on riding doorsteps is why are we having this election. The Liberals and NDP point the finger of blame at the Conservatives, saying they brought it on themselves,
in part, through the scandals that have seemed to be their undoing in recent months. The Conservatives see it differently and claim the Opposition forced the “unnecessary” election as a grab for power. But no matter who is responsible, the fact is the fight is on in 308 ridings across the country, including here in the Central Okanagan in the ridings of Kelowna-Lake Country and Okanagan-Coquihalla. The Tories are trying to make the economy the major issue of the campaign, while the Liberals and NDP are trying to make honesty and integrity top of mind. In the first week of the campaign, all the parties released their platforms and started to make the usual raft of promises. Voter turnout is expected to be low and follow a trend that has seen voter numbers fall in recent elections to less the 60 per cent turn out. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

FEDERAL ELECTION ▼ RON CANNAN
Incumbent Conservative MP wants to keep his job ASSISTANT EDITOR
Ron Cannan likes his job. And he wants to keep it. The incumbent Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country says he tries to use his experience and knowledge as a twoterm MP, former Kelowna city councillor and former regional district director be an “effective and enthusiastic” champion for
his riding. And he is quick to point to the large amount of federal funding, particularly for transportation projects, that has flowed into this area in recent years. Projects such as the many upgrades to Highway 97 in this area, an expansion of the runway at Kelowna’s airport and a new passport office, as well as support for farmers and money to address
Ron Cannan labour skill shortages have all been funded here in re-

motion supporting direct consumer sales of Canadian wine in all provinces, particularly smaller labels that are not available through provincial liquor stores. But Cannan’s five years in office have not all been clear sailing. His 2006 campaign was one of those caught up in the so-called in-and -out advertising scandal, where Elections Canada accused the Conservative party of improper election spending in some area campaigns. Cannan was never personally accused of any wrong doing but his campaign was listed as one
where the in and out money transactions took place. A father of three and a grandfather of one, Cannan is married, lives in Glenmore, is active in his church, is a drummer and worked in sales and marketing before entering politics. First elected in 2006, he inherited what some consider one of the safest Tory seats in the country from long-time Reform/ Canadian Alliance/Conservative Werner Schmidt. In the last federal election in 2008, Cannan held the riding by taking more than 55 per cent of the votes. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Anger over the way the Stephen Harper government was handling itself, and the country led Kris Stewart to turn a new leaf and get into the political arena. Now, as she embarks on her political career, wending through the campaign trail, Stewart’s hearing numerous Kelowna residents reflect her feelings, fuelling her belief this could be the Liberal Party’s year to take over this particular conservative stronghold. “People are angry with the federal government. They’re angry that this is a government held in contempt of Parliament—you have to go back to Cromwell to find a distrust that deep,” she said, referring to the fact that the government’s refusal to share
Kris Stewart information Opposition members said they needed to properly assess legislation before them is what triggered the election. While national political machinations are top of mind for many she meets, Stewart says closer to home there’s something else that could very well work in her favour. The Okanagan Valley’s social makeup has changed dramatically in recent years, and should voter participation rise
so to could the Liberal’s chances of electing a local MP, she says. “The demographics in this riding have shifted to include more people from the academic and health care sectors—and those are two demographics that lean toward Liberal policies,” she said. They’re also areas that she knows a thing or two about. Trained as a nurse, Stewart has a master’s in business administration. The culmination of those two areas of study made way for her to found a successful private MRI clinic. Until she took leave to run in the election, she was working as a manager with a private company that offers in-home medical care, as well as running a bed and breakfast. “I have on the ground, first-hand experience in a number of areas of the Liberal platform,” she said. “I understand what the challenges are, and I am passionate about them.” Stewart has proven

herself through her business life, and through decades of volunteer service for everything from Rotary clubs to Ballet Kelowna. But she admits that she’s still going to be challenged to earn name recognition in this riding. To that end, Stewart and her team won’t stop door knocking and they’re on every form of social media you can imagine Twitter, 4Square, Facebook, to name a few— trying to ensure their message gets out. And she says she’s ready for whatever is thrown in her direction. In fact, she’s having a good time. “I’m having fun.

Westside riding seeks successor to retiring MP
Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Raising her four children largely as a single mother, Tisha Kalmanovich learned to get by on very little. While today she works relief jobs, like manning the Kelowna Women’s Shelter Thrift Store on the afternoon of this interview, her background is in community project development and she community issues, like poverty, are driving her campaign. “I suppose the one thing I have the greatest concern about is that we’ve become a country that can’t feed it’s own
Tisha Kalmanovich people,” she said. “I’m pretty much affronted by the existence of food banks.” Kalmanovich moved to Kelowna four years ago and has always been an activist. Aside from running for the provincial NDP
in 2009, she’s played a prominent role with the Council of Canadians and spearheaded the formation of Kelowna Citizens for Public Power. “I’m running for the NDP because it’s a people’s party,” she said. “It came out of people. Ordinary people is at the centre of their thinking.” Working as a consultant, she has drawn up tourism action plans for Thompson, Manitoba and worked on a socio-economic rural development program in Europe.

Dan Albas is running for the Conservative Party in Okanagan-Coquihalla. Albas was named the Conservative candidate late last month just days after long-time Tory MP Stockwell Day announced he would not seek re-election after 11 years in the job. In the last election, Day received 58 per cent of the vote. Albas, who beat out West Kelowna’s Rusty Ensign for the nomination, is a Penticton city councillor and businessman who was endorsed by former federal Conservative MPs Fred King and Tom Siddon. Albas is married with three young children. A recipient of Penticton’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2005, Albas has twice led the South OkanaganSimilkameen United Way annual fundraising campaign to surpass its goals. In 2008, he topped the municipal election poll when he ran for council as a political rookie. On council, he focused on public safety and fiscal issues, proposing bylaws to prohibit aggressive panhandling and dog control and urged council to focus on core services and eliminate what he considers wasteful spending in order to help the city balance its books. If elected MP, he says he will focus on service to his constituents and work with provincial and mu-
nicipal leaders to fund necessary infrastructure in the riding *** John Kidder relocated to the South Okanagan upon being bitten by a political bug that had been buzzing around him for decades. The Liberal nominee for the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding, by chance, walked into the National Winter Caucus meeting for the Liberals in Ottawa last January, and heard his old classmate Michael Ignatieff speaking. It was at that point 45 years of contemplating entering the political arena came to an end and he took on the challenge. “I don’t have family responsibilities, my children are well launched and now I can take on greater responsibility,” said the entrepreneur who has done everything from studying agriculture and working on ranches to building software and technology businesses. While the time may be right for Kidder—brother of actor Margot Kidder— he admits there’s a tough slog ahead of him. “For me to win this election I have to appeal to the existing voter base, and those who haven’t voted before,” he said. “This includes all the conservatives who are progressive, Green Party supporters who want a candidate who can take action and it includes

people who voted for the NDP who want to see socially progressive policies in government, not just the opposition.” *** This is the second federal campaign for Dan Bouchard of Penticton, who is running for the Green Party in the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding. He’d like to dispel the image people have of the Green Party that it doesn’t support resource-based industries. “That couldn’t be further from the truth,” he said. In fact, he works in the forest industry as a lumber broker, and he’s confident eventually public perception of the Green Party will better reflect the party’s policies. While he was less hopeful during his last campaign in this riding for the Greens, with cabinet minister Stockwell Day running for re-election, this time he feels they’re at a turning point, and says it’s time to win and get some Greens in the House of Commons. *** The NDP candidate in Okanagan-Coquihalla is David Finnis. A three-term Summerland municipal councillor who has worked for the Okanagan Regional Library in Westbank for the last 11 years, Finnis was acclaimed as the NDP candidate in March. He said he decided to run because of concerns about what he considerd the scandals surrounding the Harper Conservative government, including being found guilty of contempt of parliament. With long-time Tory MP Stockwell Day not running again, Finnis is confident the NDP can take back a riding it last held in the early 1990s. While issues such as the economy, climate change and government spending are important to him, he says so too are healthcare and support for seniors. A volunteer with several social service organization in the south Okanagan, Finnis is married to a community nurse who works in senior’s mental heath care. He is a board member of the Summerland Arts Council and active with the Summerland United Church.

Local lumber industry pioneer honoured STAFF REPORTER
There was a standing ovation from his peers for a pioneer lumberman Thursday night as he celebrated his 90th birthday at the Council of Forest Industries community dinner. Ross Gorman has a quiet wisdom and a passion for the wood business, commented Morris Douglas, CEO of Synergy Pacific Engineered Timber. Gorman began in the business using scrap wood to make apple boxes while his wife Eunice did the books for a young Gorman Brothers Lumber Company in what is now West Kelowna. “He used to check for waste as the wood went to the chipper,� Douglas commented with a grin. In his decades in the lumber industry in
the Okanagan, he said, “Ross’s influence on those around him has been very positive. He’s a caring man: toward family, friends, employees and his community.� He said he married his wife in 1946 and they had one boy and five girls. Today they have 15 grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren. Gorman was presented with a birthday cake by the group of timber company colleagues. His son-in-law Nick Arkle, today a partner in the Gorman company, has just been elected chairman of the board of COFI, moving up from his post as vice-chairman. He introduced the guest speaker of the evening, newly-named forests minister Steve Thomson. Thomson acknowledged the “fragile recovery,� of the industry and committed to keep the
focus on helping the industry recover. “The Okanagan is proud of the industry, although people perhaps take it for granted,� he commented. Of particular importance, he noted, is that it is a job-creating industry; jobs that support families. Last year, he said lumber exports were 10 times that of 2003, with the largest emerging markets in China. Former forests minister Pat Bell, now in the tourism portfolio, will continue responsibility for such international marketing, said Thomson. He pointed to the province’s Wood First initiative, which encourages use of sustainable wood products for getting local governments throughout the province committed to using wood in public buildings.

At the same time, he said it’s important that industry understand the cumulative impacts of
various land uses on the land base. Members of local government and First Nations from around the region joined the lumber industry for dinner. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Your primary concern should be keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Healthy gums will help prevent bone loss and prevent eventual tooth loss.

If you do lose teeth or have Occlusal Disease there are options available to you.

jority is on the same page by the time the plan hits a public hearing. The plan is actually a guide, more than a map of things to come, but it plays a big part in how the city is shaped. The last one, which was completed in 2000, achieved 80 per cent of the goals laid out, with relative ease. That said, other attempts to mould the city haven’t gone so smoothly. The CD-21, city staff stressed, was an entirely different beast, but most locals know how that story went, and what a division it caused within the city. “Height was largely a divisive issue,â€? said Jim Paterson, the city’s general manager of sustainability. “But that was location specific‌there’s a lot more consensus than most people would be led to believe.â€? He went on to point out that the ill-fated CD21 Zone was an exercise in “irrational exuberance.â€? “When it started people thought it would have been a 15-year plan, but it would have been 40 years to complete,â€? he said, explaining market conditions made it untenable. “(The downtown plan) is more public realm related.â€?

Awareness of crime victims highlighted moving beyond crisis…we need to respond to some of the longerterm needs.” The women’s stories, as well as information about Elizabeth Fry, can be found on www.beyondcrisis.ca, as well as on the organization’s Facebook and Twitter pages. The campaign is supported through funding from the Department of Justice as part of Victims of Crime Awareness Week, which runs Sunday through Saturday. “National Victims of Crime
Slater retains involvement in provincial water issues Judie Steeves Boundary-Similkameen MLA John Slater has been appointed a special advisor for water stewardship in B.C., after the position of parliamentary secretary for water was dropped from Premier Christy Clark’s new cabinet following her election as leader of the B.C. Liberal party. Slater admits he found that frustrating, but found after discussing it with new environment minister Terry Lake and the premier that it was a misunderstanding of where the Water Act Modernization process was at, rather than a move to cut the process short. Now, Slater said, “we will continue with the Water Act consultations throughout the province.” He said his goal is to give the public and stakeholders an opportunity to have a look at the draft of the new act, after it has gone to cabinet, but before it goes to the legislature
for debate. Slater said the premier wants an open consultative process, and this way would achieve that, even though it’s never been done with new legislation before. First Nations people wanted more time to review the proposed legislative changes, and he said this process could take up to a year from today to be completed, which would give them more opportunity to review it. “We don’t want to rush it. That’s happened before. It’s too important,” he commented. Slater is a former chairman of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and former mayor of Osoyoos, and admits he is passionate about water. “I want to contribute what I can,” he said. Currently, staff are looking at all the thousands of bits of information submitted by the public in the past three months, during the public consultation phase of gathering information in prep-
aration for the drafting of a new Water Act. The current act was brought into law a century ago. Next, staff will draft a new act for submission to cabinet for discussion. That will then go back to the stakeholders and public for comment, be redrafted if senior staff feel that’s needed, before being returned to cabinet. Slater felt a period of 30 to 90 days would be allowed for public comment on the draft. Clark’s decision to drop the position of parliamentary secretary for water from cabinet was criticized by members of the OBWB during its monthly meeting earlier this week. They decided to have staff write a letter to her, asking that the position be reinstated. Board members weren’t aware at the time that the premier had appointed Slater as a special advisor for water stewardship. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Outraged killer of his own three kids gets to go to a mall for coffee

To the editor: I am outraged, we should all be outraged, that the almighty “review board” has made a decision to allow Allan Schoenborn to go to the mall for coffee. Good Lord, he was convicted of first degree murder for killing his three small children. (Editor’s note: He was found not criminally responsible due to mental disorder.) He has only spent a year in a psychiatric hospital, for what he did. The review board says he has rights. Well the way I see it, he lost all his right when he was convicted. Our justice system needs a complete overhaul to put an end to this injustice. Contact your MLA, your MP and lets get things rolling. Rick Brown, Kelowna

NDP seems determined to bring back the ’90s
I
t’s the most shopworn cliché of the B.C. Liberal government, one that for years has induced eyerolling in the legislature press gallery. The dark decade, the dismal decade, the decade of destruction, cabinet ministers have chanted since 2001. They’re referring to the 1990s, when investment, jobs and people packed up and headed for the B.C. border in response to the NDP governments of Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark. As the NDP leadership candidates near the end of their marathon run of debates around the province, the frontrunners are fighting hard to turn that conventional wisdom around. Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix makes a statistical case with his usual intensity: B.C.’s economic
growth averaged around three per cent per year during the 1990s, and only two per cent during the supposedly prosperous decade of Gordon Campbell. This mainly demonTom what former preFletcher strates mier Bill Bennett observed: B.C. is a small resource economy whose prosperity is largely at the mercy of world markets. Those northeast coal mines that Bennett’s government nurtured are up and running again, with new ones held back only by a lack of port capacity. All a B.C. government can do is create conditions that help or hinder economic growth. And there is little doubt that NDP governments of the 1990s hindered it, with taxes that caused miners to flee, choking forest regulations to appease urban environmentalists, and infantile tantrums
VICTORIA VIEWS
aimed at both the Canadian and U.S. governments. Dix’s Vancouver Island rival John Horgan also wants to take back the 1990s. He claims a list of NDP accomplishments: the Agricultural Land Reserve, B.C. Transit, the Columbia Basin Trust, the B.C. Ambulance Service. Alas, B.C. Transit is more properly attributed to B.C.’s greatest-ever socialist, W.A.C. Bennett. The ALR and ambulance service were hurried projects of the Dave Barrett regime of the early 1970s, and the ambulance service stands today as a symbol of the hazards of unionized government monopolies. The Columbia Basin Trust was a Harcourt-era accomplishment, and it’s a worthwhile effort to share the benefits of the dams on the Columbia River with the region. But the important question for B.C. voters today is, what would the next NDP government do? Would there be a Peace Basin Trust along with the Site C
dam? Not that I’ve heard of. Today’s NDP has no coherent energy policy, just pandering to knee-jerk opposition to Site C, recanted opposition to the carbon tax and some neoMarxist claptrap that all power projects are evil unless they’re shackled to a unionized government monopoly. The NDP candidates’ recent health care debate featured promises to roll back the contracted-out health care support jobs, reconstructing the small portion of the unionized health monopoly broken up by the Campbell government. NDP front-runner Mike Farnworth also scorned the “rethermed” hospital food that is part of the desperate effort to rein in health care costs. Candidates mused about bringing in fresh local food for hospital patients, which sounds nice but can only add costs. See Fletcher A11

LETTERS ▼ CONSERVATIVES
▼ COALITION
Opposition forces PM wrong that only his PCs fit to govern election To the editor: I would like to respond to the letter to the editor: Harper’s Democracy is to Proogue Parliament, written by Ryth McKeage (April 6 Capital News). I would like to set the record straight on this subject. She states that “the Harper government was found guilty of a historical first in all the Commonwealth countries— contempt of Parliament.” This is a very clever play on words. I would like to point out that the key word here is “found.” This does not mean that other governments have not been guilty of contempt. The Liberals were guilty of contempt many times before when they were formed government. The gun control act (bill C-68) is one example. Allan Rock told Pardliament that the Gun Control -Act would cost a mere $3.5 smillion to implement. That -cost has turned out to be in the ethousands of millions of dollars and counting. - In fact, Sheila Fraser statred we may never know the -true costs. Commissioner s Police J.P.R. Murray protested the r r
inaccurate numbers that were derived from RCMP crime stats, by the CACP and federal justice department—the actual number of firearm related deaths for 1993 was 73, not 623. The fact that they forced these laws through Parliament, and continued to use these numbers even after being officially notified about the error, was contempt of Parliament. There are many more examples, but of course, since the Liberals had a majority, they would never find themselves in contempt and nothing could be done about it by anyone else. The Liberals and Opposition have been using smear tactics and dreaming up ways to discredit the Conservative government any way they can to force an election. The contempt of Parliament charge was just another clever fabrication to these ends. The real story here is that this is a historical first in all the Commonwealth countries that the Opposition has resorted to such skullduggery. Mark Goddard, Kelowna
To the editor: What is Stephen Harper so afraid of today, yet he supported in 2006? The phrase, coalition government, seems to have put Harper into a fearmongering mode, about the dreaded coalition government of Liberals, NDPs and the Bloc. Even with the black and white evidence (http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/canada/breakingnews/ deal-in-2004-had-harper-singing-different-tune-on-opposition-collaboration--118712549.html) of Harper’s support for a coalition government in 2006, he continues to repeat the argument that he does not support a coalition government. I am very concerned that Canada’s prime minister has taken too many detrimental actions, which I believe to be harmful to Canada and Canadians. So, I must further criticize Harper, for his hypocrisy, and remind him that coalitions are perfectly legitimate and a “natural product of Canada’s Parliament system” (http://www.hilltimes.com/dailyupdate/view/110). Not to mention that the United Kingdom is currently being governed by a coalition government. According to constitutional expert Ned Franks of Queen’s University: “Harper can say whatever he wants, but a coalition is not illegitimate, it’s a perfectly legitimate form of govern-
ment.” Is it that Stephen Harper is unable to count? For the past five years, Harper has governed (as a minority government) with what are effectively serial coalitions—every time he passed a bill he was in a temporary “coalition” with one or more of the Opposition parties because he always needed at least one party to vote with the government. Now that we are into a federal election and Harper aims for a majority government of the Conservatives, I abhor his misleading facts to the public and voters regarding the place of coalitions in our political system. The prime minister seems to be suggesting that even if the Conservatives get less than a majority of votes and seats in the next Parliament that no other grouping in the House of Commons could govern legitimately, under any circumstances. As I have pointed out, such statements are completely false. Just think about it, a coalition of the three Opposition parties would, in fact, be more democratic than a minority government run by Stephen Harper. In the last Parliament these Opposition parties represented 62 per cent of Canadians. Again, in my math book this is greater than a minority government. Brigid Kemp, Penticton
Politicians should ‘keep the future in mind’
To the editor: e Voting? It is hard to e get excited about voting when we are surrounded s by ‘subprime’ thinking. I n agree with David Suzuki, t geneticist and environs mental icon, and want the candidates to keep the fu, ture in mind for our desa cendants. Where are the leaders who look past the next election and actually think long term for what is in the best interest of our country and citizens? Many voters are displeased with the Conservative party for voting down Bill C474. This bill
was a golden opportunity to halt the introduction of more genetically modified (GMO) crops to Canadian soil. To add insult to injury, the Conservative Agricultural Committee also blocked a moratorium on genetically modified alfalfa. All other parties had supported the motion to restrict GMO alfalfa. If alfalfa is allowed to be genetically modified, “we will see the organic farm community decimated across the country,” said Arnold Taylor, spokesperson for the Can-
No policy evident Fletcher from A10 The health care crisis is bad and getting worse. If all the NDP can do is whine about “Tim Hortons medicine” and wave an organic carrot, I suspect Tommy Douglas wouldn’t be impressed. As this column noted in January, the B.C. NDP constitution remains explicitly opposed to profit and explicitly in favour of a state-controlled com-
mand economy. Harcourt and Carole James both tried to ease the party out of that rut, as Tony Blair did with the UK Labour Party. Both were dumped. Now the NDP strains to look ahead, but sees only the past. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
adian Organic Growers. The fight over GMOs is not limited to the organic industry or to alfalfa. There is a much larger community who stand to become contaminated with ‘genetic pollution’ and that is the producers of natural non-GMO crops. Ask Percy Schmeiser, the Canadian farmer sued for using the patented seeds without a license when genetically modified canola seeds blew onto his fields and grew in his fields. He fought this injustice all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. The judgement was that if any GMO seeds get onto your land by whatever means, the corporation that holds the patent owns the crop and profits. Who wins? The bio-
tech corporations like Monsanto that are taking over control of the seed market and therefore our food supply. Who loses? Farmers growing both regular and organic crops lose their export markets if contaminated with gene-altered seeds. Europe won’t import genetically altered food for health and environmental reasons. In Europe, GMO food requires a label, but here our government has already voted down two separate bills for labeling of GMO food. Why? Are they afraid we won’t buy genetically modified food if we had a right to know? Consumers want labeling of GMO food and consumers deserve the freedom to choose what they eat. As a certi-
fied nutritionist, backed by a medical doctor, I am standing up to defend our pure seeds and non-GMO farmers as I believe that our health depends on access to natural food. I used to say “buy organic” but now I am wondering if I will be saying “bye-bye organic” as a parting gesture as the changes to the seeds are permanent. There is no turning back—ever.

K, time to dig out your crayon or pencil and your date book—your social convenor is here. It’s amazing how all the great events suddenly seem to arrive at the same time as sunshine. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to delay all that yard
work for the sake of music and fun. Sigh! On Saturday, April 16, Rosie’s Pub will feature the finals of the So You Think You Can Sing contest, with several talented competitors advancing to the final. I’m honoured to be one of the four judges for the event, which starts
at noon. Joining me on judges row will be the talented Curtis Tulman, Jim LeGuilloux and Floyd Vedan. Should be wonderful fun. Also performing April 15 and 16 is the talented Ran Berry and his band Random Act playing at the always fun Blue
Gator. Included in his band is drummer extraordinaire Scott Gamble, along with Dana Barnes, Michael Fic and the Uptown Hornz. These guys churn out classic rock n’ roll, R&B, and some fabulous Funk. Last weekend, Teresa and I managed to step out
to the Gator to hear one of our very favourite bands in the world, the always fun and extremely talented Zamboni Brothers. As usual, the boys (and Pat) had the dance floor packed all night with great tunes. Ken Heatherington and Graham Scofield are both talented gui-
tarists and singers with Les and Pat Bellamy adding superb harmonies and occasional lead vocal skills while Jimmy Dupuis is a top notch man on the kit. Added to the winning formula is the band’s tremendous sense of humour and entertainment—each member of the band is simply a class act. It was a wonderful night. Thanks Blue Gator.

Okanagan Athletics coach expecting big results this season Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Heading into their eighth year in the B.C. Premier Baseball League, expectations have never been so high for the Kelowna-based Okanagan Athletics. The Athletics open their season this weekend in North Delta in what is considered Canada’s best midget level baseball league. Problem is the Athletics—who played their first six years in the PBL as the Kelowna Cubs— have never won more than 15 games in the league. But times, they are a changing, according to second year head coach Evan Bailey. “I know it’s early but I think we are going to be one of the top five teams,” said Bailey. “I know that might sound crazy but I know we are going to be over .500. That’s what I see. We have the pitching, we have the leadership and we have some hardnosed guys that can play.” And the signs are all
there for the Athletics to pull themselves out of the cellar and into contention for the PBL playoffs. Last weekend at a pre-season tournament in Kamloops, the Athletics were 5-and0 and lost in the final to Langley after beating four PBL teams during the round robin. As well, for the first time ever the Athletics have attracted players from the coast to come and play in Kelowna. And for the second straight season they have not lost any players who chose to play elsewhere, something that regularly happened when the team played as the Cubs. Bailey has also instituted a culture of hard work and accountability and has the leadership from key players who have bought in to what the coach is preaching. “What I have been teaching them for the past six months is playing the game hard, playing it right and playing it with a lot of intensity,” said Bailey, himself a bulldog of a pitcher during a col-

KELOWNA PITCHER Jeff May will be one of the key players for the Okanagan Athletics, who open play in the B.C. Premier Baseball League this weekend. legiate career. “The main thing I see is the kids, one through 20, are a really close group who hold one another accountable for their actions.” Key among the lead-
ers for the Athletics are a pair of Grade 12 pitchers who have been with the program for several years and will no doubt be looking to end their PBL careers on a positive note.
Jeff May, from Vernon, is in his fourth year with the team while Kelowna’s Dillon Kakoshke is in his third year. “Those guys are going to be looked upon heav-
ily to anchor our pitching staff and to be leaders,” said Bailey. “They are the most vocal leaders and when they speak guys listen.” Other key players this
year will be fellow hurler Jake Maters of West Kelowna as well as pitcher/ outfielder Nolan Handley of Kelowna. Six players in all return from last year’s team that was 15-and-29, the best finish in the Athletics PBL history. The majority of this year’s team is in Grade 11 while four rookies are in Grade 10. “This year is a little different from last year,” said Bailey. “Last year was my first year and I didn’t have much time to develop those players. This year I’ve got six returning kids and all the other kids I’ve worked with for quite a while. Every kid has bought into the system of playing hard and bringing a lot of intensity to the game.” The Athletics open the BCPBL with a four game set against the North Delta Blue Jays this weekend and then four games on the road against the White Rock Tritons next weekend. The team’s first action at Elks Stadium is April 23 and 24 against the Parksville Royals.
Rockets open playoffs second round with convincing win Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Not many people were giving the Kelowna Rockets much of a chance against the Portland Winterhawks in the team’s second round WHL playoff series. But after a convincing 5-1 win over the top team in the WHL Western Conference on Thursday night, the Rockets will look to come home from the opening two games of the series with a 2-0 series lead. The Rockets and Winterhawks meet at 5 p.m. today (Sunday) at the Rose Garden in Portland in game two of their WHL Western Conference
semi-final series. “Obviously the media and everyone is doubting us but in the dressing room we are having a positive mental outlook,” said Rockets forward Shane McColgan after a three goal performance on Thursday night. “I think we just believe in ourselves and believe we can be the best team on the ice.” On Thursday the Rockets were the best team on the ice, handing Portland a rare home loss to open the series in what was an intense, fast-paced and entertaining hockey game. McColgan had four points in total to move in the playoff scoring lead all by himself, while goalie Adam Brown stopped 45 of 46 shots to

shut the potent Winterhawks offense down. McColgan says the Rockets will have to continue to get better as the series moves on. “Usually game one in a series is the easiest one to play in and in games two and three and on and on the games get harder,” he said. The teams had Friday and Saturday off after Thursday night’s win as the Winterhawks stadium was being used for basketball on the weekend. Friday night, the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers took on the LA Lakers before a major high school tournament took place on Sunday in the 20,000 seat Rose Garden. The ice is back in today and the Rockets and
Hawks have had a couple days to think about game one and get ready to get back at it. Rockets captain Tyson Barrie said the break wasn’t going to be a factor for his team. “Honestly, I don’t think it’s going to be a factor,” said Barrie. “It’s nice to regroup and get the body feeling better. Anytime you have days off in the playoffs it’s nice.” Following tonight’s game the Rockets and Winterhawks will play games three and four at Prospera Place on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Butler wins his first pro wrestling title belt amidst friendly faces STAFF REPORTER
It couldn’t have happened at a better place or a better time for the professional wrestler known as the Canadian Classic, Collin Cutler. r Performing in his home town in front /of friends and family, the 22-year-old Cutler claimed the singles championship belt in Thrash Wrestling’s show at the Rutland Centennial Hall late last month. It was the first title belt for Cutler, born and raised in Kelowna, since he started wrestling professionally three years ago. “It was a dream come true to wrestle for the title tin my home town in front of friends and family,” said Cutler this week. “It doesn’t get any better than that. The match was everything I wanted. “To hear the crowd’s reaction when they anf nounced the new Thrash champion was awesome.” Cutler is a graduate of Rutland Senior Secondary and someone who

As a kid he attended wrestling shows and it’s the kids today who make what he does so much fun. “The biggest thing for me is the kids,” he said. “The kids love it. It’s still real for them. You look at those kids and it reminds you of being a kid. I used to get so excited and just seeing that excitement is so great.” Cutler grew up want-
ing to join the wrestling business. Since the age of 14 it’s been his dream to work within the sport that has become big entertainment. Although wrestling can have a bad rap in some circles as being fake, Cutler says it is a form of entertainment. “It’s not just wrestling, it’s a show from start to finish, that’s what we are trying to do,” he said. “I have huge respect for the sport as an art form.”
After taking in wrestling shows as a fan, Cutler began to dream about the sport as a career. Since the age of 14 wrestling is what he wanted to do. Now as a 23-yearold that passion hasn’t stopped flowing. “This is all I really care about,” he said. “This has been a dream of mine since I was 14. Hopefully in the next five, six or 10 years I can travel and wrestle on the independent scene in places like Mexico and Japan where wrestling is huge.” In the meantime Cutler is impressed with the new Thrash Wrestling company that he is now a title holder for. Thrash began as a grassroots organization operating out of Enderby but has grown to include shows all over the Okanagan Valley and is bringing in bigger name wrestlers all the time. Cutler will have a rematch with the man whose title he won coming up in a show in Vernon while the crew will be back in Kelowna on May 1 when Cutler will be in-

The Kelowna Falcons continue to round out their roster heading for the start of another collegiate baseball season at Elks Stadium. The Falcons will begin play in the West Coast t League June 3 in Bellingkham before the team’s home opener June 10 against Langley. Over the past severfal weeks the Falcons have been announcing players who will make up the rosrter of the team. Here’s a look at some of the players who will t t

Tim Keller is a hard throwing right handed pitcher whose fastball has been clocked in at 92 miles per hour. To compliment his great heater, Keller has an excellent change-up, curveball and a slider that he likes to use to finish off a hitter. Keller is a sophomore from Eugene, Ore., who graduated from North Eugene high school where
he was a three time, first team all-state pitcher. The righty played for the Washington Nationals area code team in 2008 where he learned some valuable lessons that have helped him in his college career.

What are the benefits of advertising my business or services in “Ask the Experts”?
Newspapers are used to plan purchases, either for an immediate need or a future purchase. While the economy might have changed the way Canadians shop, one thing that hasn’t chnaged is the tool that they use to make their shopping decisions. Most adults identify newspapers as the way they use to plan shopping or make purchasing decisions. Secondly, newspapers ads are WELCOMED! In other media, ads are actively avoided. Newspaper is one of the few types of media where readers indicate that they want the ads. Newspapers score higher than T.V., Radio and the Internet in terms of Canadians. Lastly, newspaper readers take action, over 10 million Canadians read a newspaper on an average weekday. But they don’t just read the paper, they are moved to action based on the advertising contained in it.

Unrepresented Buyer? What does this mean?
When considering a purchase, how do you want to be represented? Key question, especially when one is considering spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet many choose to be unrepresented buyers. As a buyer you have a choice to take an agency relationship with a REALTOR® and be treated in a fiduciary relationship called Client. In an unrepresented buyer relationship or customer, there is no agency. This means that the REALTOR® works for the Seller and must legally protect the seller at all times and must report to the Seller all information the REALTOR® learns from you. There is no protection or confidentiality when there is an unrepresented relationship for a buyer. You should not provide a REALTOR® who is not your agent with any information that you would not want relayed directly to the Seller. Contact Sharon Black, REALTOR® & Accredited Staging Professional.

Q.
Should I install my own cabinets to save the install fee of $1500.00?
A.
The fee paid to the installers has many times in my career been a sore spot with many customers. The fee always seems high and many people feel they can save this money and do the install themselves. However, a kitchen installer is a trained professional with thousands of dollars worth of tools and years of experience that is worth every penny they receive. There truly is a lot involved in an install to make it look seamless and professional. Many times situations arise that an experienced installer can figure out and the job completes as per plan whereas an inexperienced person may leave a mess or problem that is impossible to rectify. As well there is the warranty issue that is covered for all workmanship under the supplier’s warranty when they install their own product. This will cover any damaged parts or miss cut pieces during install. Unless you are the type of handy man that would be confident enough to tackle your own root canal I would leave the installs to the professionals.

Q: A:
With the increased awareness of nuclear fall out and potential radiation worry, are there any steps that can be taken to protect myself and family?
Many have been seeking protection from supplements such as iodine and high level antioxidants. Potassium iodide (or KI, as it’s known chemically) is a common form of salt and is known to protect the thyroid gland from radiation and cancer caused by radioactive iodine. Radioactive iodide is concentrated in the thyroid, and emits radiation in the thyroid, leading to cancer. The chemical works quickly by saturating the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine. That makes it difficult or impossible for radioactive iodine to be absorbed by the thyroid. If the gland has enough iodine in it, the thyroid doesn’t absorb any radioactive iodine and it is flushed out of the system in urine. Experts say, when taken before exposure, potassium iodide can provide protection for 24 hours. It also is proven beneficial if taken three or four days after exposure. It is important to remember that other steps must be taken for overall protection. Products we provide that may offer some needed protection: Iodine drops from Trophic, which is KI and Iodine combination together; Thyroid support products such as Schinoussa Sea Vegetables, Thyrosafe, Kelp and Dulse can all offer thyroid protection. For overall health, consider Flor essence, which offers both thyroid protection with Kelp and complete protection with strong antioxidant and free radical elimination.

Kobler was named to the Santa Rosa PressDemocrat All-Empire and San Francisco Chronicle All-Metro teams. Left-handed pitcher CJ Blom made 14 appearances during his freshman year in college starting three games. He recorded 28 strikeouts in 31.2 innings of work and was also used as a pinch hitter off the bench and to play first base. He throws a fastball, curve and change-up and is working on a cutter and slider. His bread and butter
pitch is his fastball which he can run up to 85 mph. Right-hander Evan Wolf has all the makings of a dominant closer. He stands at 6’5, 235 pounds and loves to throw heat. His fastball has been clocked at 92 mph, but also has an outstanding curveball and change-up. Wolf was a red shirt freshman in 2010, but the UC Davis coaching staff has high hopes for him in 2011. • Jeff Melby and Matt McCallister from the University of Portland. Infielder Jeff Melby saw limited action in his freshman year in 2010 because of a strong senior class in front of him; a class that included the likes of former Falcon Ri-
ley Henricks (2008). In high school Melby was a four year letter winner and was named to the all-state first team in his senior year. He was a two-time team captain and was named to the All-KingCo 3A First Team as a shortstop in both ’08 and ’09. As a senior in 2009, he hit .529, had a slugging percentage of .824 and an on base percentage of .625. Right-handed pitcher Matt McCallister is in his sophomore campaign this season at the University of Portland. In his freshman year he made just four appearances, all in relief. The 6-foot-2 righty throws a fastball, slider, curve and splitter.
The arrival of the Chelsea coach in Kelowna may just be the tip of the iceberg as Kelowna United plans to bring more coaches into the area to work with players and coaches. An upcoming international conference is being planned and should be announced soon. It all goes towards elevating the sport of soccer. “It’s two-fold,” said Zanatta. “One thing is we have to develop coaches if we want to develop footballers. The better coaching education we can do the better players we will have in the long run.” While it may lead
to more visits from top soccer programs around the world it wasn’t easy attracting Chelsea’s Bookman to Kelowna. The visit by a coach from such a world renowned club as Chelsea FC is the culmination of several years of efforts by the Kelowna United Board and its technical staff. Bringing in coaches from other areas comes at a time when the soccer scene in the Okanagan is evolving. This will be the last year that ThompsonOkanagan plays in the elite Super Y League as next year they will join an eight team B.C. provincial

CHELSEA Football Club coach Jeff Bookman worked out some Kelowna soccer players last month at a soccer camp hosted by Kelowna United. league. “Our goal with Kelowna United and the new B.C. soccer program is to produce better footballers and better athletes that stay in the game longer,” said Zanatta. “I think it’s been a long time since the Interior has produced a provincial and nation-
al team player. Our goal over the next five years is to start producing those players again as well as help make every player enjoy the game more.” The Kelowna United season is just underway while the Super Y League season starts in the summer.

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WEATHER THIS PAST MARCH, BUT THAT’S ONLY BECAUSE LAST YEAR’S WAS SO MILD. Doug Lundquist, Environment Canada
Weather during the month of March was close to normal, although colder than last year. “People have been complaining about the weather this past March, but that’s only because last year’s was so mild,” said Environment Canada forecaster Doug Lundquist. In fact, he said the past few winters have been mild generally, so “we’ve been spoiled by a string of milder years,” he explained. Typical showery spring weather is forecast for the next few days, with temperatures ranging from a high of 13 C to a low of -2 C—very close to normal for this date. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

W WINSOME HILL
Townhome development in central location Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR
The first development launch of this spring in Kelowna is Winsome Hill, being introduced by the Mission Group. The new project is expected to make a big splash in
the real estate market with its high quality feature extras in both the finishing and design, all at a value price. Winsome Hill is a townhome community in south Glenmore, tucked into the side of Knox Mountain. It’s a short drive up Clifton Road and convenient to just about every-
thing in Kelowna, from shopping to hiking. These family-orientated townhomes are designed to meet the needs of today’s active families. Winsome Hill will eventually build-out at a planned 83 units. Right now, the first group-
ing of townhomes for sale is well underway. Three homes have been completed for viewing, another three will be available in May and four more at the end of August. The homes are being constructed to Mission Group’s award winning and exacting standards.
Energy efficiency and environmental impact has been made a priority, as Winsome Hill will be ‘Built Green’ certified by the Canadian Home Builders Association. A high efficiency air source heat pump with electric backup will deliver effective home heating and cooling while con-
trolling home owner energy costs. Beyond energy consumption, environmentally friendly choices include low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emitting interior paints, green label nylon carpeting, low-e See Location A21

Condos or townhomes offer low maintenance lifestyles Condominium or townhome living is a popular option for many people as it can be a relatively carefree housing option. Interest in condominiums and townhomes tends to grow with an influx being available on the market and the combination of affordable prices for most people, compared to a detached house, and low mortgage rates. It’s an option to seriously consider if you are currently renting—a $200,000 mortgage today fixed for five years will mean payments of under
945 a month. There are several things to be aware of when purchasing a condo or townhome. First, each is a collection of private dwellings or units. Each unit is owned and registered in the name of the purchaser. Second, the common elements of the building— the lobby, hallways, recreation facilities and landscaping— fall under the ownership of the building strata council, which represents all the individual unit owners.

the reserve fund. You will also be responsible for your unit’s property taxes, typically much less than a single family house lot. Unit owners must also purchase content insurance. Your own belongings are not covered by the strata insurance. Again, usually the insurance cost is much less than the content insurance for a single family home. The strata carries insurance coverage for the common areas only. Each strata is governed by its own unique

fee is designated to the reserve fund as this money is set aside to provide for major repairs over the life of the building. This fund is supposed to ensure the common elements will be maintained in good shape for the life of the project. As an individual owner you may be obliged to attend meetings and serve on the board or various
committees. Condos or townhomes can be an attractive alternative to the higher costs of owning and maintaining a home. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Trish Balaberde (250-4708324) and Darwyn Sloat (250-718-4117). www.kelownahomemortgages.ca
W REAL ESTATE
OMREB says housing market still stabilizing The Central Zone of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reports March 2011 sales activity of all MLS property types improved over last month. But there was a dip in sales from March of 2010, when real estate turnover was being influenced by the pending HST taking effect that summer. The local housing market continues to stabilize and show more balanced conditions moving into spring. While active listings and inventory were down from March 2010 (4,750 units compared to 4,959 last year), the 1,122 new listings taken fell by 17.85% over last year (1,361) but rose 10.43% from last month (1,016). Overall, unit sales and total sales volumes dropped 12.14% this March (to 340 from 387, totalling $129.34 million compared to $150.51 million in 2010), and total residential units sold declined 12.57% (to 306
from 350 in 2010) but climbed 39.09% over February (220). The average price for a single family home is up 5.89% compared to last year at this time ($486,609 from $459,546), while the median price rose 2.06% ($433,750 from $425,000 in 2010). “Gradual but steady economic improvement, population and employment growth has returned the B.C. housing market to normalcy after two years of volatility. News of rising interest rates could create a sense of urgency and stimulate demand as many buyers choose to get into the market while rates are still relatively low,” said Kent Jorgenson, an OMREB director. “With spring on the way, we can expect to see more sellers listing their homes, and potential buyers closing deals before mortgage rates are raised further. “Compared to the heated Lower Mainland
market, the Central Okanagan continues to offer an excellent selection of properties and attractive home prices for anyone looking to buy here— whether they are first-time buyers, moving up, downsizing or retiring.” The results of OMREB’s monthly survey of buyers—launched in September 2010 to profile who the buyers are, what they are buying and where they are from—indicates that serious buyers are taking advantage of the current market conditions and leveraging their positive purchasing power while it lasts, Jorgenson noted. “Pricing continues to be important when selling your home, so working with a real estate professional to understand current local market conditions and to provide comparisons specific to your neighbourhood is essential as home values vary based on property type and location,” he said.

On Saturday, May 14, Royal LePage Kelowna and West Kelowna offices will be transformed into an oasis for bargain hunters, as the realty firm hosts the National Garage Sale for Shelter. This annual event is in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. All of the revenue generated by the garage sales goes to support local
women’s shelters. The local recipients will be the Kelowna Women’s Shelter and the Kelowna Woman’s Resource Centre. Statistics show that: • 51 per cent of women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16; • 360,000 children are exposed to domestic vio-
lence each year; • over 30,000 women and children take refuge in a shelter each year. The garage sales locally will take place at two Royal LePage locations: Orchard Park Plaza (1-1890 Cooper Rd.) and Westbank Town Centre (11-2475 Dobbin Rd.). Last year, Royal LePage realtors raised more than $315,000.

Facing declining vision S
eniors who are single and have vision impairment may be hesitant about moving into supportive housing. But vision impairment does not have to be an obstacle. As with other seniors, living in supportive housing will add to a senior’s independence. Often it helps to live in a small suite that does not require as much maneuvering around furniture or is as far a distance from other areas within the suite. When seniors who have vision impairment are living in supportive housing, they have additional people to assist them with activities. These people would not necessarily be avail-

SENIORS’ CONCERNS
Sharen Marteny able when living in a condominium. And as well, seniors truly look out for each other. Most supportive housing residences will make the effort to accommodate seniors who have vision impairments by assigning a seat in the dining room that can be easily accessed by feeling the wall beside them. A colorful placemat can be put on the table or on top of the tablecloth. This assists the seniors to know the space in which their meals and drinks will be served. Contrasting coloured plates, glasses and cups will also assist the seniors to see them. Some places that include restaurant service use a white table cloth with white dishes. Seniors then do not want to go out
for meals as they feel dependent on others to ask where things are placed in front of them. In supportive housing residences, the same one or two employees could be assigned to serve vision impaired seniors. In these unique cases, the servers can make sure that the food is consistently placed in the same position on the plate or the servers could tell the person where the food is positioned. If requested, certain food items could be cut up before the food is served—all done discreetly. When touring the supportive housing residences ask if these requests would be possible. • The cleaning staff could be trained to make sure that all of the furniture and items are put back in the exact same place after the suite is cleaned, including their laundry. • It is best for the seniors to live in a suite on the main floor or close to the elevator, allowing them to walk around the

building on their own. If these suites are not available, the next best thing is to know how many doors a senior is away from the closest emergency exit. This gives them the ability to get out of the building when required. It would be a shame if any seniors missed out on the benefits of living in supportive housing
because they thought that their vision impairment would hold them back, as in fact their independence could be greatly increased. Sharen Marteny is a services consultant for seniors in Kelowna. 250-212-1257 www.seniorsconsulting.net

legendary home of Kunta Kinte of Alex Haley’s 1974 novel, Roots. This cruise has airconditioned cabins, excellent food, semi-regular cell phone service and a professional crew. On the other hand, the itinerary is not for sissies. You have to take malaria medicine. There is dust and heat ashore. Buses have only African air-conditioning—open windows. And monkeys might steal your lunch. One morning the yacht docks at Kaur, a village far off the tourist track, about 100 miles up the Gambia River. Next to the yacht is the peanut processing facility, where local farmers sell their crop. It turns out that Kaur is a lucky village because it has electricity and a gigantic cell phone tower atop a small hill. But that is just about where modernization stops. Families live in compounds on land that has been in their families for hundreds of years, passed down from generation to generation. In a village without a bank, cattle is wealth here, so farmers buy cattle with their peanut or rice proceeds. It’s not a tourist town, so despite the visitors, the morning market goes on as usual with its tomatoes and peppers. Some tiny children

Mr. Mansa walks the group instead through the town to the Freedom Tree. That was a place where any Gambian slave who reached the tree could embrace it and be free. You have to give Mr. Mansa credit. Ruins of a stone building in town are often described to tourists as a “slave house� and another building down the street is said to be a “slave museum.� Actually, both were built in the 1900s by the French, he says. “They were never slave houses,� he admits.

Another day, and after a 4-hour ride on the cool river from Kuntaur, we reach the village of Janjangbureh . The tour guide is someone important, Mr. Foday Mansa, a member of the Gambian Parliament.

The Cruise: The West Africa cruise will resume Dec. 23 and continue through March 9. Book directly through Variety Cruises (www.varietycruises.com, 800-3197776). Book at least a “B� class cabin. (Two “C� cabins are on the lowest level near the engines. The Itinerary: Not for novices. Boat spends the first and last nights on the Atlantic Ocean, which can be rocky, then five nights on the smooth Gambia River . Shore excursions are nature-focused—to national parks, a chimp reserve, the excellent Kissi Bolong bird refuge, the Saloum River Delta. Except for Dakar, towns and villages are hot, dusty and extremely limited in amenities. Other Details: Almost no ATMs, so bring cash to exchange. Malaria pills are needed, although I saw only one mosquito. Bring bug spray, antidiarrheal meds, antibiotics and medication for seasickness. Yellow fever immunization recommended.

If the dental injury that your child experiences involves a bump with no displacement, a little bit of bleeding around the gums, and a tiny bit of mobility/looseness, likely everything will be OK, but a visit to the dentist would be beneficial. Discolouration of the tooth often happens but follow-up with your dentist will determine what, if anything, needs to be done. If the injury is more severe, with displacement interfering with his/

Many of these injuries go undiagnosed until a parent learns of the injury following tooth discolouration. The colour change indicates that the tooth has been injured, but does not mean that it will not heal. In approximately 50 per cent of cases, the discoloured tooth will remain in function, remain asymptomatic, and come out naturally when it is supposed to.

We can become over reactive emotionally and also become overly sensitive to the energy of others—picking up on other people’s feelings and absorbing them like a lightning rod in a storm. We can also get caught in repetitive and unhealthy thought patterns that seem to have a life of their own. Trauma and the resulting brain cross-wiring causes us to experience life in a completely different way, inevitably changing our experience of life, and lays the ground work for destructive health patterns and subsequent belief systems that can keep us stuck in this state of trauma. The more we repeat the faulty brain pattern, the more entrenched the pathways become and before you know it, you not only become locked in a certain way of thinking, but you also get stuck in a rut in your brain. With experience and repetition the grooves associated with certain thought processes and beliefs become deeper and can eventually represent obstacles to moving into
EMOTIONAL RESCUE
Annie Hopper a state of optimal health and moving forward in our lives. In fact, our repetitive thoughts and feelings can drive the hard wiring of the brain and keep us stuck in an unconscious brain and body trauma cycle. However, learning, thinking and feeling have the ability to form new neural networks in the brain or strengthen existing ones. Neuroscientists now have the technology to track these brain changes from second to second, noting how the brain changes with a different thought or by engaging in a different emotional state. As we open our minds to a new understanding of brain function, we can engage in the process of creating new neural networks that move us out of these entrenched ruts in the brain,
allowing us to move forward into a state of optimal physical, emotional and psychological health. However, this process is not an easy one. And because our brain and body are entrenched in old patterns, this change is not always easy for us. Typically we will come up with all kinds of justifications for staying stuck in the pathways that we are currently running as they are usually protective mechanisms that we have adapted to keep us safe somehow. However, when we understand this adaptive process we can learn how to engage this intrinsic brain property in a positive way, to create changes in brain function that will stop the trauma cycle and restore optimal health. On April 29, I will facilitate a three-day seminar in Kelowna that will help you change the pathways in your brain and guide you to better overall health.

Stiff Is Not Good
Shannon Tamara
Flexibility in how you think, how your muscles move, and in how your arteries flex with every beat of your heart are all measurements of good health. As we age we stiffen in all these areas, and Stiff Is Not Good. According to Stats Canada deaths due to heart and blood vessel diseases account for 36.2% of all deaths in Canada. In fact more than a third of all deaths in Canada

are from diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Arteries carry blood from your heart out to your body, and veins carry blood back to your heart. When you have stiff arteries each pulsing beat of your heart will shock your body. Instead of having your arteries flex and absorb the pulsing heart beats, a stiff artery sends hard shock waves throughout your body. This will contribute to two health problems. First, you will wear down your heart with the extra work load. Second, you will stress your major organs, like your kidneys, lungs, liver, and even the heart itself. Diabetes, sticky cholesterol, infections, and toxic metals are all reversible causes of stiff and hardened arteries. I use a panel of blood tests to measure how sticky the cholesterol and other parts of your blood are, and your risk of blocking an artery. Another great heart disease test is the “CardioVision” machine that literally lets you see how flexible your arteries are. It also measures blood pressure and screens for irregular heartbeats. I use the CardioVision as my first step in screening for heart disease, as well to help me to watch how well people on heart disease programs are improving. There are many contributing factors to hardening of the arteries and heart disease, and just as many natural medical solutions. Regardless of the possible causes, get a CardioVision evaluation and find out if you need to consider further heart disease tests and treatments.

PETER SPENCER DAMPIER DYSON Born and raised in East Kelowna, February 6, 1926 died April 6, 2011. He is survived by daughters, Helen (Delbert Radomske) Kate, Virginia (Bryan Gregoire), grandchildren, Jinny, Jarret, Erin, Tyler, Olivia, Nina, Tasha, and Aidan. Great-grandchildren, Hannah, Emelia, Steve, Kaden, Jason, Liam, Liev and brother Terence. Predeceased by Peggy his wife, and son Steven. Peter was an orchardist in East Kelowna much of his life. He joined the Navy in 1943 and as he would say “made it 20’ up the jetty” when the war ended. He was a staunch leftist, and there will be a few who will recall some heated debates. He loved to hunt, fish, travel the backroads and build rock gardens. After selling the orchard and after Peggy died he moved into a little house in Joe Rich on the Radomske property; he loved the country life. He was well into his 70’s and still picking apples for his dear friend Elsie G. In the later years living next to family, his great grandchildren and drives up Hwy 33 were his greatest joys. Our thanks to the staff at PSICU, MacIntosh Unit at Brookhaven, Dr. Carlyle and Maggie. No service by request.

Hazel was born in Kenora, Ontario, and lived there until her husband took her on a journey of many wonderful adventures to Texas and Illinois, finally settling on their orchard in Kelowna (Ellison community) in 1980. Hazel loved decorating, gardening, travelling, cooking sumptuous holiday meals, spending every summer in Kenora with her family and especially being with her daughter and granddaughter. We will deeply miss and cherish her kind words, her cute little smile and her warm and loving hugs and kisses. She will always be remembered for her generosity and unconditional love.

WILLIAMS, JOHN “LARRY” John “Larry” Williams of Westbank, BC, formerly of North Delta, was born in Lethbridge, Alberta on January 13, 1939 and passed away peacefully on April 4, 2011 in Kelowna General Hospital. Larry is survived by his loving wife of 53 years Cecilia (Coppieters), children Rob (Dawn) and Darla (Pete) and his three grandchildren Clayton Pettifer (Taunya), Danielle Williams (Dan Killey) and Tiffani Williams. He is also survived by his siblings and their families; Marlene Tuff (Roy), Lorraine Featherstone (Gord), Sharon Anderson (Monty), Ross Williams (Alice) and Jean Ferguson (Arnie) and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father Wesley “Red” Williams in 1992 and Maurine (Day) Williams in 2007. Larry started his working career hauling cars for Melchin Transport in southern Alberta. He then moved to the west coast and started working for Annacis Auto Terminals where he retired from in 1995. Larry and Cecilia spent the next 10 years travelling and spending their winters in the south western US. Special thanks to Dr. Edward Welsh, Dr. Michael Delorme and all the nurses and staff at KGH. To celebrate the life of this wonderful man, husband, dad, grandpa, brother, uncle and great friend to many, please join the family on Saturday, April 16, 2011 at 4:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, Larry requested that donations be made to the BC Cancer Foundation or Kidney Foundation of Canada.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen family favourites In every family there are some favourite dishes, the ones they still come back home for on special occasions or just for dinner. Lasagne is high on most lists as one of those magnetic dinners that draws friends, family and neighbours, and it’s an easy dish to make in large quantities for a big group to share. While it is a bit of a nuisance to make, re-heating it is a breeze and it does freeze well. Now that spring is really here, more of our family gatherings can be outside, even if sweaters are still important. The days are noticeably longer now and there’s actually daylight left after dinner for some outside time, whether that’s just a game of catch in the yard, a little gardening or a bike ride or walk. It feels like the chains of winter have been loosened and we’ve been released to have a little more fun. In fact, the Kelowna Farmers' and Crafters' Market has moved back outdoors again, to its location at the corner of Springfield and Dilworth where it's open Saturdays and Wednesdays, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. As soon as fresh produce is available in local farmers' fields and greenhouses you'll find it there— inspiration for your meal planning. In the coming months, before it gets too hot, take the opportunity to gather the family for a picnic, a camping trip, a ball game or an afternoon of riding a trail like the greenway. Prepare a simple (assuming you put the lasagne together earlier) meal like this to enjoy afterwards, when fresh air has sharpened everyone’s appetites. A scone or fresh baked rolls and perhaps a salad, and dinner’s on the table. If you’ve enjoyed this food column over the years, drop by and pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, to be launched Thursday, April 28 at the Wine Museum on Ellis Street, 4-6 p.m. Reserve your spot by going to my website: www.judiesteeves.com
Chive & Parmesan Scones Fresh chives should be up in your garden now, so go out and snip some off to pepper these yummy scones with a boost of spring flavour. 1 c. (250 ml) flour 1/2 c. (125 ml) whole wheat flour 1/2 c. (125 ml) chopped chives 1/4 c. (60 ml) parmesan cheese 2 tsp. (10 ml) baking powder 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) salt 1/2 c. (125 ml) frozen butter 1 egg 1/4 c. (60 ml) milk
Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Whisk together the dry ingredients and add the fresh, chopped chives and grated parmesan cheese. Grate frozen butter into the dry ingredients and add milk and beaten egg, stirring the mixture until it begins to stick together. Turn out onto a floured board and pat or roll out about a halfinch thick. Cut into wedges or use a cookie cutter to make circular scones. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Spinach & Mushroom Lasagne With the added nutritional boost of spinach, this lasagne is a complete meal. Such meals in one dish are great for family get-togethers, even if those are at a campground, because all you need to do is pop it into the oven to reheat it, and dishes are minimal. We paired a glass of the Haynes Barn Merlot Cabernet from Ganton and Larsen Prospect Winery with this and it was excellent. It’s even very quaffable alone, with its berry aromas and bright flavours. 1 1/2 lb. (600 g) frozen spinach drizzle of oil 2 onions 1 1/2 lb. (680 g) lean ground beef 4 garlic cloves 1 tbsp. (15 ml) oregano 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) dried chili flakes 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) salt 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) pepper 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) cayenne pepper 1 lb. (454 g) mushrooms
14 oz. (398 ml) tomato sauce 14 oz. (398 ml) diced tomatoes 5.5 oz. (162 ml) tomato paste 9 cooked lasagne noodles 1 c. grated parmesan cheese 1 lb. (454 g) ricotta cheese 10 oz. (300 g) feta cheese 1 lb. (454 g) mozzarella Thaw spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Chop onions and saute until soft. Push to the side and add ground beef (I used half ground venison and half beef), sauteing until no longer red, breaking up the meat and turning it. Add minced garlic and spices while browning the meat, and mix in the onions. Slice mushrooms and add to the pot, pushing aside the meat mixture so they can brown a little. Smear a little of the tomato sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-
inch pan so the noodles don’t stick. Once the mushrooms have softened and browned, add the remaining tomato sauce, the diced tomatoes and tomato paste to the mixture and stir everything together, bringing it to a simmer. Cook lasagne noodles. Once the noodles are cooked turn off the tomato-mushroom sauce and arrange the first three noodles in the pan. Top with half the meat sauce, a third of the parmesan cheese and 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Top with another layer of three noodles, then the spinach, the ricotta cheese, the feta cheese and another third of the parmesan cheese, and the rest of the meat sauce. Top with the other three noodles and the remaining parmesan and then mozzarella cheeses. Cook at 325 F for about an hour and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serves about 9.

THIS IS ANGELA
For twenty years Angela lived in fear and silence.
But now she has her smile back. ANGELA’S DAUGHTER REALISED, at a young age, that her mother was living in fear and was addicted to sleeping pills. She tried many times to talk with her mom but she would not open up. Despite her mom’s struggles to hold down a regular job they stumbled through life. When Angela took an accidental overdose it changed everything. In a recovery room at the hospital she opened up to her daughter and revealed the abuse that she had suffered in her childhood. It was the first time she had told anyone. Angela’s daughter connected her with the Elizabeth Fry Society, where Angela finds great strength from counselling and support groups.
We believe that women and girls can be strong alone, but they can be fearless together. Our services and programs take abuse victims beyond crisis to a future without fear.

WFN CHIEF Robert Louie (right) speaks at ground-
breaking ceremony Wednesday for the new $40 milion Okanagan Lake Shopping Centre, being built on reserve land on Highway 97 at Westside Road. Meanwhile work is continuing (top) on the nearby Highway 97 overpass project at Westside Road.
▼ DEVELOPMENT
New commercial complex to create jobs for WFN Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Work has started on the latest project in the long string of commercial developments on the Westbank First Nation’s Westside reserves. A groundbreaking ceremony was held earlier this week for a new $40 million Okanagan Lake Shopping Centre, to be built just north of the existing WFN office building at Highway 97 and Westside Road. The new centre will feature 130,000 square feet of commercial space that will include an eight-screen high-tech movie theatre, a Shopper’s Drug Mart pharmacy, Royal Bank and a TD bank branches, a liquor
store, Dairy Queen and Subway restaurants and a Tim Horton’s outlet, a Dollarama store and several other tenants that have yet to be named, said WFN Chief Robert Louie. There are currently no plans to include a grocery store, Louie noted. The movie theatre will be operated by Landmark Cinemas and will include eight 3D capable screens. One of the cinemas will have a larger than normal screen, nearly the size of an IMAX screen, said Landmark COO Neil Campbell. It will also feature stadium-style seating. The theatre was originally envisioned as a six-plex, then was expanded because the company felt the growing Westside population could
support it and they feel Kelowna residents will drive across the Bennett Bridge to see movies at it. “We think this will be a destination centre,” said Campbell. The shopping centre will be built in two phases, the first phase to be completed by the spring 2012. No timeframe has been set for construction of the second phase. Louie said the development is the first shopping centre on the WFN’s reserve No. 9 and only the second that will be entirely owned by the band. The other band-owned centre is currently under construction near Westbank, on IR reserve 10 and will house a Future Shop and a Winner’s outlet.
In recent years, a large amount of commercial development has popped up on WFN reserve land just north of the Westbank town centre. That development is on reserve land controlled by individual WFN members. The new Okanagan Lake Shopping Centre is a joint venture between the WFN, Churchill International Property Corporation, which manages shopping centres across the country, and the Property Development Group. Philip Langridge, chairman and CEO of Churchill, said while it has taken three years to get the centre ready for construction, he is happy to be partnering with the WFN. “It will not only bring bright, vi-

brant new buildings to 10 acres of visible land along Highway 97, but will provide jobs and opportunities to members of the Westbank First Nation,” Langridge said. Louie estimated hundreds of jobs will be created at the centre. While no timeline was released for the second phase of construction, Louie said it will provide another 130,000 square feet and will be located on band-owned land just south of the phase one site. Meanwhile, the nearby Westside Road overpass construction will create a new access point for the site, one Louie said will the safest on or off Highway 97. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Summerland NDP candidate very familiar with the Westside Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
NDP candidate David Finnis may have lived in Summerland for the last 20 years and served three terms on that city’s municipal council, but he is no stranger to the Westside. Finnis, who has worked for the Okanagan Regional Library’s Westbank branch since 2000 where he is responsible for much of the children’s programming, has visited all the elementary schools in West Kelowna and is familiar with the needs of this area. “The advantage I bring is that I live in one part of the riding but I have worked in this part (the Westside) for 11 years,” said Finnis. With the departure of veteran Conservative stalwart MP Stockwell Day, who easily held the riding for the Tories since 1999, there is a feeling of optimism here among the NDP supporters. Finnis said whenever a
‘‘
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND PROVIDING JOBS, THE TWO CAN BE DONE TOGETHER. David Finnis, NDP candidate
long-time incumbent decides not to run, the field opens up because there is not the same name recognition for the representative of the incumbent party. He also noted the NDP held the riding in the early 1990s. In other parts of the riding, the corresponding provincial seats are held by provincial NDP MLAs, such as Harry Lali in the Merritt area. The federal NDP’s Okanagan-Coquihalla candidate in the 2008 federal election, Ralph Poynting, came in a distant second to Day. Finnis wants to build on the support his party has garnered here in
the past. He said he decided to seek the nomination because of concerns about what he described as the “scandals” involving the Conservative minority government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, including the so-called “in and out” advertising program, the Bev Oda affair and the finding of contempt against the government over its refusal to provide the true cost of fighter jets and anti-crime legislation. “It’s a question of ethics,” he said pointing to the fact the government was brought down based on a confidence motion involving the Tories being found in contempt of Parliament. But other issues have also sparked interest on the doorstep during the first week of the campaign, he said. Those include the economy, health care and help for seniors. “Protecting the environment and providing jobs, the two can be done together,” said Finnis. “It
just takes Canadian leadership. And we can start right here in the Okanagan.” As for health care, he said five million Canadians don’t have a family doctor and one million are on waiting lists. “The NDP will shorten health care waiting lists by training more doctors and nurses,” he said. He also questioned why the former Conservative government gives more than $1.4 billion in tax subsidies to oil, coal and gas companies but 1.8 million low-inome seniors need an increase in the guaranteed income supplement in order to “lift them out of poverty.” A community activist in Summerland, Finnis has been a member of the Summerland Community Arts Council, sits on the community cultural development committee there and volunteers with the Summerland Museum and Heritage Society. Finnis has also served on the boards of the South Okanagan Women in

DAVID FINNIS, a municipal council member in Summerland for the last nine years, is the NDP candidate for the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding in the federal election. Need Society, the South Okanagan Victims’ Assistance Society, and worked with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. As well, Finnis has served as a Summerland councillor for the last nine years. Married to a community nurse who works with seniors’ mental health, Finnis addressed health care when he was acclaimed the NDP can-
didate in this riding. He is also active with the United Church. Having traveled throughout the province and lived on Vancouver Island, in northern B.C. and the Okanagan, Finnis says he has an interest and dedication to protecting the environment. He supports Smart Growth B.C. and the Land Conservancy. Water protection and
supporting clean, sustainable, green-energy industries will both be part of his election campaign. As for minority parliaments, such as the ones that have been so fractious in Ottawa the past few years, Finnis said they can work if they are allowed to do so, but to succeed the parties in Parliament have to work together. awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Independent candidate upset at being excluded from debates Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Sean Upshaw, who is running as a “independent” Conservative in the federal election campaign after failing to win the Tory nomination for the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding, has lashed out at a Penticton newspaper for excluding him from a series of election forums it is
organizing. “The Penticton Herald has purposely decided to leave me out of their forums perhaps to support a contestant they favour,” said Upshaw on Thursday. “Once again the insiders are attempting to pull the wool over the eyes of the public in order to slant the vote to fit their own agenda.”
Sean Upshaw
Upshaw was upset about what he considered a piece of inside information about former MP Stockwell Day’s announcement that he would not seek re-election one week before the election was called. The move, according to Upshaw, gave eventual winner Dan Albas an advantage. While Albas has not
commented on Upshaw’s accusation, Day said prior to the Albas nomination win that no candidate was given an advantage and some were quicker than others about getting their papers in. As a result, Upshaw decided to run as an “independent” Conservative who supports Stephen Harper’s Conservative party platform.
“I may appear to represent the far north of this riding (West Kelowna) but I care for the citizens of Penticton, OK Falls, Merritt, Summerland, Peachland and the rural areas of this great riding,” said Upshaw. He said Penticton Herald editor James Miller was given the opportunity to allow him to participate in the forum abut re-
fused. He said the newspaper knew about his candidacy as early as March 26, and even wrote about him. Upshaw is running against Conservative candidate Dan Albas, Liberal John Kidder, the NDP’s David Finnis and Green Dan Bouchard. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

WESTSIDE â&#x2013;ź FEDERAL ELECTION
Albas determined to keep his riding in Tory hands Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Conservative candidate Dan Albas says the economy is the concern he is hearing the most about on doorsteps throughout the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding. Albas, the Penticton city councillor who has inherited the Tory mantle from long-time Conservative MP Stockwell Day, is hoping to hold the seat for his party in the May 2 federal election. Hee said part of the concern about the economy and how federal tax dollars are spent is opposition to the election itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People think this is an unnecessary election,â&#x20AC;? said Albas, who has enlisted Day to help him in the early stages of his campaign as he goes door to door looking for votes. Albas said there is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;general sense this is a waste of moneyâ&#x20AC;? as he talks to residents in all parts of the riding. Despite that, however, there is an election campaign to fight so he is taking the Tory record on the road as he travels throughout the sprawling riding
Dan Albas that stretches from Penticton to West Kelowna and Merritt and Logan Lake. Clearly there are different issues in different parts of the riding, he says, but many of them come back to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fragileâ&#x20AC;? state of the economy. Albas argues that a strong, stable government is needed in Ottawa to help the economy return to strength. But for his party to be one to provide that government, it will need the majority voters have denied it in successive elections since first coming to power in 2006. In Okanagan-Coquihalla, a riding that has been held by the Conservative Party and its two predecessors, the Reform
Party and the Canadian Alliance, since the early 1990sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;two years ago giving Day 58 per cent of the voteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Tory ticket would appear to be a popular one. But Albas, like Day before him, says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking nothing for granted. In this campaign, he is up against the NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Finnis, the Green Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dan Bouchard, Liberal John Kidder and Sean Upshaw, who is running as an independent who would support the Conservatives in Parliament. Albas, a graduate of the former Okanagan University College, has lived in Penticton since 1981, where he runs a martial arts studio. In addition to serving on Penticton city council since 2008, he has twice led the South Okanagan-Similkameen United Way annual fundraising campaign in 2006-07 and 2010-11. Albas, who is married with three children, says he wants to build on the legacy of his predecessor Stockwell Day, who held the riding for the Tories for 11 years.

Superstore stepping up to support national food drive does not take a vacation, and that food and funds are needed year-round. “With the support and generosity of our customers, we know that we can make a difference for those in need at the Westside Community Food Bank and in our community.” According to Westbank Real Canadian Superstore’s partner food bank, Westside Community Food Bank assists an estimated 700 residents, 41 per cent of them children, in an average month in West Kelowna. “We continue to experience a significant increase in the number of people accessing our services,” said Faith Lanthier, with the Westside Community Food Bank.

The Westbank Real Canadian Superstore started its Extra Helping Spring National Food Drive this week, which runs from April 8 to 28. Spring is a difficult time for food banks as they work to stock up for the summer and despite contributions made during the holiday season food reserves run low. To help address this challenge, Westbank Real Canadian Superstore is calling on the community to add a little extra to their shopping carts and donate non-perishable food items or funds at check-out. “We believe we have a responsibility to help in the fight against hunger in the Westbank community,” said Westbank Superstore store manager Jeff Dyck. “We know that hunger
vides an opportunity for the community to show their support for those in need, says Lanthier. “We are exceptionally grateful for the investment made by Westbank Real Canadian Superstore, their customers and colleagues for their donations and continued support of our food bank,” she said. Customers can make a difference in two ways: Purchase or bring in nutritious non-perishable food items and drop them into the in-store donation bins, or make a cash donation at check-out. The food bank items most in demand include peanut butter or nuts, baby food, canned fruits and vegetables, meat, beans, pasta and sauce, rice, whole grain cereals, and powdered or canned milk.

The province has given the Central Okanagan Regional District, West Kelowna and Lake Country a total of $1.2 million to help the communities with their spending priorities. The money, provided through the Strategic Community Investment Fund, is awarded each year as small community and regional district grants to help pay for basic local government services.
The grants announced Thursday are are coming from traffic fine revenues collected by the province and rebates from carbon taxes the municipalities paid in 2010. “This funding gives West Kelowna, Kelowna, Lake Country and the regional district a big boost as they continue to provide excellent public services and keep our communities safe,” said Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson. Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart said
carbon tax rebates show the province is rewarding communities for making moves towards being carbon neutral. The traffic fine revenue sharing program returns money to municipalities that directly pay for police enforcement. The grants come from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets, and the amount of money a municipality receives is based on its contribution to total municipal policing cost. The carbon tax rebates
come from the province’s Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program that offsets the carbon tax local governments pay. They are eligible for the rebates if they have signed the B.C. Climate Action Charter and report annually on the steps they are taking—and progress they are making—to become carbon neutral by 2012. The communities receive a grant equal to their carbon tax costs to support their climate change efforts. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Westbank First Nation and the Okanagan Regional Library board recently signed an agreement that provides for a library service to the total on-reserve population. The terms of the agreement began January 2011 and continue through to Dec. 31, 2020. The signing of this agreement follows the three-year pilot proj-
ect that verified WFN residents use ORL services. Residents of the Westbank First Nation reserves utilized the ORL with more than 1,200 residents receiving a new library card. “I am very happy to see Westbank as a full partner in the library system alongside municipalities and regional districts in our area,” said
ORL’s board chair Ted Bacigalupo. This agreement is good news for both the ORL and the approximately 8,600 on-reserve residents. WFN band councillor Loretta Swite-Ghostkeeper, the newly elected official serving on the ORL board, will represent Westbank in the delivery of library services to the region.

WESTSIDE ▼ SAFETY IN MEXICO
▼ DANNY WATKINS
You’re not in Canada anymore
Projected NFL first round draft pick remembers his roots
I
am typing this on my last day of a week with my family in Mexico. Want a tip? Email me and I’ll send you some tips, particularly useful if you travel with three children, aged 5, 7 and 9. Oh, and don’t worry. Unlike those in Mexico who give advice, I will do so motivated only by helping you, not by lining my pockets with kickbacks from tour companies and others who might benefit from the way my advice might cause you to spend money. Our family stayed at a 5 star resort on the Myan Riviera. It is a beautiful place, with all you can eat and all you can drink. Top of the line. Omelettes made to order for breakfast, with a bottomless cerveza to carry you through for the rest of the day. But—and it’s a huge but, particularly with bottomless cerveza—safety is not what we have become accustomed to in Canada. It’s probably not something that would jump out at you if you are not in the injury business. One of many examples I confronted was a
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott “lazy river,” where you can float, half-lit, with a beer in your hand. They supply tubes to sit on. I sat there, mojito in hand, watching people mount those tubes at the beginning of the river. Most men there have a belly bigger than mine. Their weight distribution causes them often to flip backwards off the tube as they try to get comfortable, drink in hand. Yes, that was fun to watch—most of them Americans. But my giggles were kept in check by the reality that their heads could just as well crack against the side of this narrow lazy river, and harmlessly slip under the water surface in a somersault. The hair at the back of my head stood on end as I watched children jump into the lazy river to land on their tubes. You can jump up and
warn people only so many times how that’s not safe until you become looked upon with contempt as an over-protective parent. You would never, ever, ever find such a dangerous situation in Canada. No. In Canada, allowing such a dangerous situation to exist is called negligence. In Canada, you can sue the owner of the property for compensation for the losses you suffer as a result of an injury caused as a result of an unreasonable danger. Your entitlement to compensation, in Canada, is for fair compensation. That’s all. Nothing more than fair. When you count up the lost income arising from a brain injury caused to a young person, though, that compensation is huge. Huge compensation for danger, in our capitalistic society, where insurance companies insure against risk, results in decreased danger. Insurance companies make sure that risk is minimized. Take our provincial automobile insurer, for example. You see the bill-
boards trying to convince us to drive safe. Dollars spent to improve our driving are dollars spent reducing claims. I wish the billboards were bigger. My advice? Email me if you want tips for how to have fun with three little kids on an all-inclusive trip to Mexico. I’ll give you the straight goods. As for personal injury claims in Mexico…well, you are not in Canada. There are different laws. There are different rules. Don’t relax and assume everything will be safe like you have been accustomed to be able to do here. Be vigilant about the safety of yourself and your family. Take extra care, particularly with a mojito in your hand.
This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

ASSISTANT EDITOR
Highly-touted Westside football product Danny Watkins’ personal attachment to Westside Fire and Rescue will be evident at the upcoming NFL draft. Watkins has invited the West Kelowna fire chief and four other firefighters to be on hand in New York as his personal guests for the draft later this month. Watkins, who played his college ball at Baylor university in Texas, is expected to be selected in either the first or second round of the NFL draft. On hand to mark the occasion will be fire chief Wayne Schnitzler, with fire department captains Lionel Bateman, Todd Moore and Pat Harmatta, and firefighter Richard Bliss.
Danny Watkins Watkins discovered firefighting at the age of 16 when he was a student at Mount Boucherie Secondary. He credits the fire department for helping him become a success both at the junior firefighting program he enrolled in and later as on-call firefighter with the department, as well for his subsequent stellar U.S. college football career. Before going to Baylor, Watkins went to Butte
Junior College in California to study fire science, at the suggestion of Bateman. There he caught the eye of the football coach and two years later transferred to Baylor to play for the Bears. The local firefighters will be on hand at famed Radio City Music Hall April 28 to watch Watkins selected, possibly in the first round. If that occurs, he will be the first Canadian player taken in the first round of the NFL draft since Mike Schaad 25 years ago. While in New York, the firefighters plan to pay their respects at the site of the World Trade Centre terrorist attacks in Manhattan, where 343 New York firefighters died on Sept. 11, 2001. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ RINGETTE
West Kelowna contingent helped bolster Okanagan U-19 squad Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
They were calling themselves the little team that could. And what they did was win the gold medal at the Provincial “A” Ringette Championships held in Burnaby last month then represent B.C. a week later at the Western Canadian Championships in Sherwood Park, Alta. The Okanagan’s only Under-19 ringette team concluded its season with a trip to the Westerns as the B.C. champs. With West Kelowna ringette players Kaitlyn Collins, Joanna Cowper, Kyla Levy and Jas-
mine Zilkie as part of the team, the Destroyers came up against some tough competition at the Westerns against the top teams from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. “The girls really played great, we had lots of fun and made awesome memories,” stated Pauline Collins, with the Westside Ringette. “As we suspected, the competition was very good and our little Okanagan team of dedicated players just wasn’t at the same level as the other provinces. We had many personal and team achievements during the tournament so it was well worth the trip.” Destroyers players did well in skills competition events with Jes-
sica Martin as the third fastest skater. Joanna Cowper was third in agility while Breanne Stoll was second in accurate shooter. Kaitlyn Collins had the second hardest shot and Tiffany Taschuk’s was stellar as the goalie for this competition. Brianne Hrynyk was first in the shoot-out and named to the WCRC All-Star team as Centre. “It was a great ending to an absolutely fantastic and rewarding season,” said Collins. “To our dedicated community partners, we truly appreciate your kind support and your generous spirit. Thank you all very much.”
