4X4 group says criticism is unfair STAFF REPORTER

Rather than a camp of vandals cavorting in a domestic watershed over the weekend, the 4x4 ‘snow wheelers’ who were caught in action by the local water utility, say they are actually responsible outdoor winter recreation enthusiasts with more than $1 million worth of toys. A local group called the Okanagan Backcountry Association held its annual winter camp in five feet of snow last weekend in the watershed of the Black Mountain Irrigation District. But they never thought to let the district know of their plans, admits Mark Turton, a member of the group. He explained that driving a truck over deep snow without sinking in requires special 46-inch tires with just two pounds of pressure in them so they leave less impression on the environment than a man would walking. They are driven slowly so the tires compact the snow enough to hold the truck up on top of the deep snow, rather than digging it up. “It’s the technical challenge of making the machine go in a variety of snow conditions that is fun, and it’s generally at five or 10 miles an hour,” explained Turton. Drivers watch for details around them such as shadow and snow drifts

where the snow will be firmer. Most have modified suspensions and some have far more done to them. Some vehicles are worth $250,000 each. The club has rules its members must abide by, including no garbage being burned in the fires, no green trees being cut, no ripping through creeks or mud and nothing left behind. In fact, he says members go back in summer into areas they enjoy in the winter, to make sure nothing was left behind during their winter recreational activities. However, Black Mountain Irrigation District staff spotted the camp last Friday and were concerned they might cause damage in the domestic watershed. Manager Bob Hrasko said their concern was that the big trucks could tear up the landscape, which causes siltation in waterways that lead to the utility’s intake. He also said some 4x4 vehicles were driven through Belgo Creek over the weekend, just above the domestic water intake. Turton said the members of his group actually drove miles up the creek to a forest service road where there was a bridge over the creek to ensure they did not drive through the creek. And, that’s the problem, he added. “It only takes one person tearing up a meadow to tarnish us all, yet we’re

Buddy Tavares threw his hands in the air, as if to gesture “What?” as the lawyer for the police officer accused of assaulting him said he was still waiting for disclosure of evidence in the cases against Const. Geoffrey Mantler. “We have yet to receive the disclosure,” said Neville McDougall on Tuesday, echoing what he said at Mantler’s first court appearance two weeks ago. “What a joke,” said Tavares outside the courtroom after the brief court appearance, which Mantler, 28, did not attend. Buddy Tavares (Mantler’s lawyer appeared as his agent, which is common practice for cases appearing in the justice of the peace court.) “He doesn’t have the balls to show up to court,” said Tavares, who also missed seeing Mantler at his first court appearance when the cases were called early. Tavares is vowing to be back at the courthouse in the hopes of having a “face to face instead of face to boot” meeting with the officer. Mantler pulled Tavares, 51, over at gunpoint on Jan. 7 after a shots fired call to police from the Harvest Golf Club. During the arrest, caught on video by Castanet, Mantler kicked Tavares in the face while he was on his hands and knees. Mantler was suspended with pay shortly after and was later charged with assault causing bodily harm after an Abbotsford Police investigation that involved detectives speaking with more than 40 witnesses. Mantler is also charged with a second count of assault causing bodily harm related to an incident with Manjeet Singh Bhatti on Aug. 30, 2010. Mantler’s cases are scheduled to be back in court on May 24, not long after another rally against police bruSee Victim A4

Crown counsel overwhelmed by trials to be adjudicated Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

Crown prosecutors in Kelowna are maxed out and can’t take on any more trials until fall, the court heard Monday. Administrative Crown counsel Wendy Kavanagh told Justice Ran-

dall Wong that there aren’t any prosecutors available until October in response to a defence lawyer’s request to set an early trial date for her client. Lawyer Jennifer Thorne was told by trial coordinators that court time was available as early as this month, but that the Crown office couldn’t have a prosecutor available until Oc-

tober. The aggravated assault and assault with a weapon case is specially assigned to a specific prosecutor, said Kavanagh, but she did check if other prosecutors might be available. “There is just not any time within our office to absorb this file,” said Kavanagh, saying they already took on some cases as requested by Thorne’s

predecessor. “We are maxed out. There is just not a prosecutor to absorb this file between now and October.” Vernon and Penticton’s Crown offices are also “short-staffed” as Kavanagh said their issue is not one of having not enough senior lawyers to handle such a trial. “We have almost

exclusively senior counsel,” said Kavanagh, noting that places their office in a “fairly unique” position. The trial is being set for October, but the case will return to court in early June to check if some pending cases don’t go to trial, freeing up a prosecutor before fall. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

The fiscal merits of public art debated Sentencing for sex Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Everyone’s familiar with the old adage beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it seems Kelowna city councillors are reminded of it more frequently than most. During a council meeting where a proposal to launch a $25,000 review of the city’s public art program was tabled, Mayor Sharon Shepherd called for a populist approach to the issue at hand. “I feel there’s something lacking from this (plan), and that’s input from the public,” said Shepherd, after learning about city staff’s proposal to hire a consultant to steer the public art program in a more organized direction. “I’d like to know what they feel is successful… not that we will always choose something everyone likes.” There are a number of galvanizing pieces within the city’s collection that local politicians still get an earful about, she said, and she’d rather get some feedback from the community on what they do and don’t like than repeatedly tread into their bad books. “We’re still getting criticized about the bear and the bear is a winner— thank goodness,” she said. “But there are some that haven’t been winners.” Earlier in the meet-

ing Coun. Luke Stack asked about whether there should be some sort of retirement program for art that’s seen better days, and Shepherd grabbed onto that idea, pointing out that she “can tell you a few that should be retired.” Council was told that the public will be involved with various parts of the process, although the master plan pitch at hand was only addressing the hiring of a consultant. While the nature of art was a central theme of the master plan discussion, other councillors made a point to weigh in on the fact they believed that spending money on a consultant was an egregious waste in tighter times. Coun. Graeme James said he felt the review— albeit requested by council during the budget process—totally extravagant. “You could add at least another $25,000 or $35,0000 to this,” he said, of the plan that will be

funded through the public art committee’s allotment. “With the economy the way it is, I think this is totally extravagant and a terrible waste of money.” Coun. Charlie Hodge chipped in that he thought that it would be more pru-

dent to use the resources at hand. “I think we have an excellent committee, and I don’t think we need to go outside this committee,” he said. A city staff member pointed out that the committee itself recommend-

ed that an outside consultant be pulled into the fray and in the end, the bulk of local politicians voted in favour of looking beyond its committee to get some direction on one of its most hotly debated budget items.

A man convicted in November of raping a young woman in a deserted factory parking lot has hired a new lawyer and will be seeking extra credit for his time in custody. Atish Prasad was to be sentenced last month, but it didn’t happen when Prasad said he would be seeking enhanced credit for time spent in custody prior to sentencing, the court heard on Monday. However, questions about the judge’s order last month that Prasad’s jail produce various documents has resulted in a need for another meeting with the judge, expected sometime this week. Once those issues are sorted out and the jail records are sent to and assessed by lawyers on the case, it is expected a new sentencing date can be scheduled. Prasad was 28 back in November when he was found guilty of sexual assault causing bodily harm after a week-long trial. At issue during the case was whether or not Prasad had the consent of a woman when he engaged in sexual acts on June 13, 2010. Sometime between 11 p.m. and midnight that evening, the woman, who had first briefly encoun-

tered Prasad the week before, saw Prasad standing beside a car and asked her if she wanted to go for a drive. She declined, but instead agreed to a walk. When they arrived in the Sun-Rype parking lot, near an excavator, Prasad began kissing the woman. He ignored her request to go home, and escalated to sexual touching and then placed her on the ground between the treads of the excavator before eventually having intercourse with her, despite her saying no “on numerous occasions,” Justice Peter Rogers said when he convicted Prasad. “She was not strong enough to dislodge him from his position over her,” said Rogers. “She was afraid and scared.” The woman suffered scrapes, bruises and a bite mark. Prasad had testified that the woman did not protest his advances, but Rogers said he did not believe Prasad’s “version of the events.” A pre-sentence report and psychiatric assessment were ordered following Prasad’s conviction. He’s set to return to court at the end of the month to set a sentencing date. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

4X4 group responds to BMID concerns directed at them

Criticism from A1 The group of 25 camped over the weekend adjacent to the park, leading Hrasko to express concerns they might be planning to use the parkland. However, Turton said

“tread lightly” is today’s mantra among responsible 4x4 enthusiasts. He says the group welcomes new members interested in learning more about their sport, but willing to meet the expectations of responsible off-

road behaviour. Turton has also met with Hrasko to talk about their activities. “We’re pleased they cleaned up their camp so well,” commented Hrasko, but groups who want to be active in the

watershed should talk to the local water utility so both sides are clear on the type of activities and behaviour that are appropriate and permitted in a domestic watershed. Most of the Okanagan is domestic watershed.

Housing starts perk up The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports that Kelowna area housing starts totalled 134 homes in April, increasing from the same month a year ago. “Apartment rental construction boosted multifamily starts in April,” noted CMHC market analyst Paul Fabri. “Starts of detached homes also picked up in April matching 2010 levels, ”he added. “Unusually prolonged and severe winter weather conditions dampened the pace of detached home construction earlier this year.” Kamloops, Vernon and Penticton area housing starts were down from levels recorded in April 2010.

Medicinal pot education goal of new initiative Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Growing marijuana doesn’t quite evoke a noble-farmer image, even when it’s for the sake of treating terminally ill patients. As medical marijuana becomes less taboo, however, supports for those who cultivate the product need to fall into place and that should further legitimize and raise the profile of the process, says one Kelowna businessman who’s come up with an idea or two on how to speed up the process. “I went to school in Colorado for medical marijuana cultivation, medicine making and business administration,” said Donald Schultz, the founder of Greenline Academy. “And now I’m bringing what I learned to Canada.” Schultz has ambitions to open the first Canadian school for medical marijuana growers this fall, but before that happens he’s lined up some seminars that could help educate participants in safe ways to grow the plant, the legal issues involved and the various ways to become compliant to federal laws. “Things like, if you’re licensed to grow 25 then you shouldn’t be growing 200 plants,” he said, noting that there’s obviously more to compliance than that, but it’s a good place to start. A lawyer from Doak Shirreff will be speaking to participants at the upcoming seminar on the legal issues that they face by being in the industry. “We also go through proper electrical compliance, fire safety measures and how to get into it, in general,” he said, adding he’s looking for a doctor who can speak to the use of cannabis as a medical treatment. While Schultz makes growing marijuana sound as controversy free as planting rutabagas, he acknowledges that it’s an issue mired in debate. “When I say what I’m doing, people raise an eyebrow,” he said. “When I talk about its health benefits, they’re anxious to learn more. “But everybody knows somebody who has can-

cer, and if you think of it that way, it’s totally different.” While the Greenline Academy business model may help clear up the standards of the industry that’s still caught between in the mushy space between illegality and legality, it still may take some time for the popular opinion to turn in its favour. “This is a great new industry with a wide range of opportunities needing educated professionals with the right attitude to help us get there,” he said. Then, he said, controversies that have come commonplace across Canada may be laid to rest. Recently, Kelowna city council took a look at the issue of medical marijuana grow ops. At the prompting of mayors of the City of Langley and the Township of Langley, they were asked to lobby Health Canada to cancel current licenses for medical marijuana growers and, in turn, have the product dispensed through licensed pharmacies by doctor’s prescriptions. “As this is the practice for other controlled substances, such as methadone, we do not see why this cannot be done for medical marijuana,” read a letter circulated to B.C. municipalities. The letter also explained the grow ops were threatening the health and safety of their communities by both attracting crime and also leaving physical devastation of properties where pot is grown. Kelowna councillors declined the invitation to lobby for the disbanding of medical marijuana licences.

Near-record snowpack now waiting to melt

City rallies to help Japan relief efforts

Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

The third largest snowpack in the past 35 years is sitting in the Okanagan watershed just waiting for warm weather, and perhaps a little rain, to melt it and send it rushing down into the valley bottom. And, creeks are powerful erosion machines, adds Black Mountain Irrigation District manager Bob Hrasko. That utility is busy doing whatever it can to prevent damage from snags or trees that could be washed downstream and get caught on bridges, buildings or reservoirs as the water in creeks rises.

However, he says 90 per cent of the force of Mission Creek is completely unregulated, so there are no dams buffering the full onslaught of water from melting snow. Because the sponge of the watershed is already full from wet weather last fall, all of the snowpack is expected to run off rather than some being absorbed by the ground first. He warns people to stay away from the edges of creeks, particularly Mission Creek, in the next few weeks because adults or children who slip into the creek won’t be able to get out. Since it’s melting snow, the water temper-

ature will only be about 4 C to 6 C, so hypothermia will set in very quickly and the force of the current will make it impossible to get out of the water. Youngsters and pets should be kept under control anywhere near streams. That concern is echoed by Jason Brolund, assistant chief with the Kelowna Fire Department, who says they are keeping an eye on the flows in Mission and the height of Okanagan Lake and ensuring a sufficient inventory of sandbags is available in case there’s a threat of flooding. “The weather is key. If there’s a slow warming

trend without much moisture we could be fine, but rapid warming with rain will accelerate the freshet,” he explained. Flooding is not entirely unpredictable, so property owners who are at risk should keep watch and be prepared to protect their lands. The province’s River Forecast Centre now reports there is 45 per cent more than the normal amount of snow in the Okanagan’s watershed for May 1, with 34 per cent more in the Mission Creek watershed, which provides the largest single inflow to Okanagan Lake. Because spring is late and the weather was cooler than normal through April, less of the snowpack has melted, even from low elevations, so there’s more still up there to run off.

So, lower elevation snowpack measurement stations like McCulloch still have all of winter’s snow, meaning there’s 373 per cent more than the normal amount for this time of year at that snowcourse. At Postill Lake, there’s 67 per cent more than normal, while across the lake, at Brenda Mine, there’s twice the normal amount and at Whiterocks and Esperon there just slightly more than normal. The RFC bulletin for May reports that La Nina is responsible for cooler and wetter than normal weather in B.C. and that’s forecast to persist through freshet this year, but neutralize in June. Environment Canada is forecasting warmer than normal temperatures for the summer, it reports. Weather in the com-

Luke Stack, a member of the Kasugai sister city association at a Monday meeting. Two community events that were very successful were a May 2 meeting where $24,000 was raised, and an April 30 meeting where $14,000 was raised. “It was a significant pile of money which came in,” Stack said, adding artists, musicians, bakers and volunteers of all stripes came together to make the events successful.

Technology and law collide over freedom of explicit texting Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Sexting—or sending sexually explicit messages and photographs over the Internet—is not a crime and the volunteers gathered in Kelowna this week for the annual Crime Stoppers conference need to remember this, according to a local social media expert. UBCO professor Christopher Schneider rsays he’ll be delivering a keynote address aimed at taking the panic out of social media, youth and safety discussions this tSaturday morning, pointing out teenage flirting was never caught on tape when most of the population was growing up. “The first knee-jerk refaction is always: ‘This has to be stopped,’” he said.

ize youthful indiscretions that might have gone unnoticed, or punished differently, in the past. Looking south of the border where a handful of cases have seen youth placed in jail and even registered as sex offend-

you want to do with it.” In some states there is already talk of lessening penalties for certain crimes to deal with the emergence of social media, as lawmakers start to question whether some of the behaviours being picked up are really worth ruining lives over, said Schneider. The Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers Society is hosting the provincial Crime Stoppers training conference this week, May 12 to 14, at the Coast Capri Hotel. Delegates from the western Canadian provinces will attend, with RCMP from B.C. and Al-

berta and municipal forces from Victoria, Abbotsford, and Vancouver in the mix. This year’s theme is Internet-based crimes, such as luring and cyber bullying, particularly as it is directed at young people. However, the conference is also an opportunity to train board members from the region on the issues facing their communities—drugs, fraud, gangs and so forth.

Some 108 delegates will attend the event, according to Gerry Guiltenane, Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers coordinator. “We just want to make people aware of the dangers that are out there,” he said. There are some 1,400 Crime Stoppers programs across Canada. Internationally, Guiltenane said the program is now making the move

into developing countries. It’s hoped with the proliferation of programs around the world some of those social media tools, like Facebook, can be harnessed to help catch wanted fugitives. Social media delivered a big international crime fighting scoop last week when a man in Pakistan tweeted about the U.S. raid to capture Osama bin Laden, while the raid was underway.

ers for possessing naked photos of other underaged peers—deemed as child pornography— should be looked at as red flags in his view. “The law has not kept pace with technology,” he said. “(And) it’s causing problems.” Schneider says parents, the school system and even the police need to remember that social media is a tool and shouldn’t necessarily lead to a crackdown approach. “You can use a hammer to build a house or you can use a hammer to bludgeon someone to death,” he said. “It’s what

Polls can be hard to believe

olls are less reliable than they used to be, but more prominent than ever, particularly as an election campaign draws to a close. There are literally hundreds of polls being conducted in individual ridings and nationally, even as some pollsters freely admit that polls are no longer as accurate as they once were. “The dirty little secret of the polling business is that our ability to yield results accurately from samples that reflect the total population has prob-

ably never been worse in the 30 to 35 years that the discipline has been active in Canada,” according to Allan Gregg, of Harris-Decima Research, who has been involved with polling since the 1970s. There are many reasons, but one major one is that traditional telephone polls have great difficulty in reaching the vast majority of people. Only 15 per cent of those contacted agree to take part in a poll, as compared to 70 per cent 30 years ago. Many people do not have

250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575

land lines any more, particularly young people, and they are thus less represented in poll sampling. Regional results are even less reliable than national results, yet are pulled out as showing a trend. This is now being demonstrated with the “surge” for the NDP in Quebec. A survey conducted April 17 and 18 had just 164 Quebec respondents and a margin of error of 7.8 per cent. Thus, the reported 25 per cent support for the NDP in Quebec could have been as low as 17 per cent or as high as 33

per cent. Yet the support level of 25 per cent is reported as fact and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Poll results are important information, and in a democracy, information needs to be shared freely and disseminated widely. However, the national media, the major players in publishing poll results, need to do a much better job in prominently reporting the number of people polled, and they must also explain why there is such a wide variation in many poll results.

Americans never had any intention of letting him walk out of his compound in Pakistan. There was never going to be a Neurembourg-style trial for bin Laden. The U.S. could not afford to give him the publicity. As one U.S. official put it days later, it was better to have a dead martyr than a living leader. And, given the reaction of the many Americans who took to the streets to express their joy at the death of the mastermind of the worst terrorist attack on the United States ever, it’s clear Obama and his officials did not have to embellish what happened during the mission. Talk of a “firefight” turned out to be one bin Laden fol-

lower firing at the start—he was killed immediately. The Americans now say the SEALs were not fired upon again. Bin Laden, they now say, was not armed and did not use a woman as a human shield, as originally stated. Few, if any, in the Western World will mourn bin Laden, but his death does raise questions about the moral high ground the United States likes to take when dictating to the world how others should deal with their enemies. Justice, it seems, does not always require a court of law. Thousands celebrated in the streets with chants of U-S-A, U-S-A, as if a winning goal had been scored by a national team. And, for a coun-

try still feeling the wounds of 9-11, 10 years later, it was. Bin Laden had evaded the best equipped military and intelligence services in the world for a decade, a fact not lost on the American psyche. But his death, as welcome as it was, will not to turn back the hands of time when it comes to security threats and the precautions we all now live with. And it won’t bring back the thousands of people who died when the twin towers fell, the Pentagon was attacked and Flight 41 crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS COMMENTS FROM kelownacapnews.com

Readers respond to: Monster Trucks Driving Through Creeks in Black Mountain District Watershed, May 8 Capital News I hope that getting the helicopter out was worth the lame excuse of a story. Isn’t there a tazering to be covered? They aren’t hitting anymore mud than the snowmobilers do riding at this time of year. They aren’t mud bogging, they’re driving in the snow, and they weren’t in the park, but near it.” Larry Connolly ••• While I was not with the group on the weekend I do know that the areas they go to are not inside park boundaries and also that these areas are open for use to others yearround and are open for vehicle traffic. And, as the reporter stated, they are in deep snow with no chance of touching the ground anyway. They have no more impact that the thousands of weekly visits snowmobile users do inside the park each year. Off-roading, quading and motor biking are not illegal activities and, despite the size of the vehicles, all those that attend are responsible offroad enthusiasts. Their size limits their impact by staying afloat on the top of the snow, not digging through it, similar to the impact of a snowmobile. Even the government sees

this with the current tenders for grants to create trail networks within the Okanagan to add to the trail base for the legal pursuit, enjoyment and fulfillment of the use of our back country. Motorized rec users know that they are under fire from those who do not enjoy this type of recreation and some of the best keepers of the back country are those who regularly visit Crown lands with clean ups and other activities to show that those who enjoy motor sports can continue to do so. How much fuel was burned renting a helicopter to fly over the region searching for a small group of off-roaders who pick such remote locations to help minimize their impacts? 4x4Friend ••• “By driving through creeks, sediment and mud is disturbed and sent downstream, increasing the turbidity of water, which could trigger boil water advisories from Interior Health.” Seriously? If this was true I guess there is going to be a boil water advisory every time a cariboo walks through or even if it rains? The vehicles involved

have less PSI ground pressure than any mammal in North America. How are they impacting the oh-sofragile environment? If you want irony, mention that you publish this paper from the worst environmentally-impacted area in the region—it’s called urbanization. Just look out your house or office window and see the biggest impact humans have on this planet. Chad Thatcher ••• Camping and enjoying the outdoors in B.C. is open to all of us, 4x4 enthusiasts included. Statements like “churning up mud under the snow” make no sense— the ground is frozen— and 4x4ing is not remotely close to “mudbogging.” In the photo I see some people enjoying the outdoors and snow wheeling. Keep in mind that these groups often hold cleanup days to remove the mess made by illegal dumping and far less responsible users of our B.C. wilderness. Like with any group there are those who have not yet learned the “tread lightly” mantra that most 4x4 enthusiasts live by, but to paint us all with the same brush, at the very least, is irresponsible. 4x4 enthusiasm is

SUNDOWNE R a legitimate worldwide sport. We help to maintain trails that other outdoor enthusiasts use that otherwise would close over within months. If you are concerned about what’s happening in our B.C. wilderness, feel free to comment on the impact clear cutting, or strip mining, or privatized power dams, or dredging the Fraser is having on our watersheds and wildlife. I think you’ll find these activities far more destructive to our wilderness. Since he seems to have such a great concern for the outdoors I think we should ask (Black Mountain Irrigation District administrator Bob) Hrasko when he last partook in a clean-up day. This is a poor and biased piece of journalism filled will unfounded allegations and wild speculation, more suited to the National Enquirer than a legitimate news source. I would recommend doing some research prior to spreading this kind of flotsam. Deggs ••• Good grief, what utter drivel disguised as ‘journalism.’ These are not ‘monster trucks’, nor are they ‘boggers.’ This is a very different, very specialized motorsport. You will never see one of these trucks in an arena doing jumps, crushing cars, or in the spring or summer with mud caked on it driving down the road. These trucks are not in the watershed. Just driving down a road with five

feet of snow on it is challenging enough. The people who are involved in this sport are exactly the people you want in the back country. They always pack out more than they pack in. In the summer, you will be able to drive to this camp site along an existing forest service road in any off the shelf 4x4. And I challenge you to find the exact spot—you won’t, because there will be no trace of their passage. This uhh, ‘piece’ of ‘journalism’ is what I would expect to read while waiting to pay for my groceries—fluff and sensationalistic with no regard to actual facts...” offroaddefender ••• WOW what a great use of our tax dollars. Since this is about mud bogging where is all the mud? What a poorly written article with no actual facts. What about all the snowmobiles that are in this area non-stop, throughout the winter? I’m honestly more concerned about those since at least these trucks are in a large area, but with the snowmobiles they are able to make it to all the sensitive areas which is the real harm here. I really thought Canada was supposed to be a free country because this day and age we have less rights which our brave men and women gave their lives for during WWII. reecek

▼ B.C. POLITICS

Waste of tax dollars, time debating HST To the editor: Seven per cent PST plus five per cent GST equals 12 per cent HST. What is the issue? It is extraordinary to hear Bruce Ralston, the NDP finance critic and the NDP party, blindly supporting Bill Vander Zalm’s rhetoric about the HST. In fact, the complaints being raised have nothing to do with the HST, nor the efficiency and cost savings of administering one tax system instead of two. The complaints are actually about B.C. making some items and services provincially taxable which were previously exempt, not the HST system itself! It is evident from the

Meats & Delicatessen

(rather odd) collection of goods and services that the government chose to exempt from the provincial taxation under HST, that the option is there for B.C. to reconsider and exempt things which were previously not subject to PST, but there is no need to scrap HST to do this. All accountants, economists and everyone who actually takes the time to understand it, realize that the HST reduces the cost of collecting sales tax for B.C., eliminates duplication of costs of two governments both auditing both tax systems and greatly streamlines and reduces the nightmares of sales tax collection and tax payment that all busi-

nesses have to deal with. A further fact: With the exception of Alberta and Saskatchewan (which are floating in oil revenue), is that B.C. has the lowest combined PST and GST sales tax rate of all provinces in Canada. And would politicians please quit pretending to measure the effect of HST with numbers of jobs lost and promises of jobs gained. Employment levels are dependent on a lot more factors in the B.C., Canadian and world economies than the additional PST on hair cuts. Why on earth are supposedly responsible politicians wasting all this time, effort and our (tax paid) resources fighting a

sensible tax when the government should be getting on with trying to fix a lot of much more important

issues in this province? Christine Dendy, Kelowna

Two guys with big hearts When these two friends got together to talk about a fundraiser, they knew they wanted to do a golf tournament and both being animal lovers, they knew they wanted the Kelowna SPCA to be the recipient of the funds raised. Alex Draper and Darryl Reuter, both long-time Kelowna residents and dog lovers, were having a couple of drinks one night when it all began. “We went out to have a couple of drinks and catch up and by the end of the visit, we were planning a golf tournament for the Kelowna SPCA,” said Draper. “We called our friends at the local branch and the (general manager) at Sunset Ranch to start the planning.” Reuter, a local realtor, called upon his friends and colleagues to support the event and secured some sponsorship, including a company out of Calgary called Castle Financial. “I work closely with Brad, the owner of Castle Financial, and he was pleased to have the opportunity to be part of such a great event and great cause,” said Reuter. Draper is no stranger to the Kelowna location as he has adopted his last three dogs from there and holds a special place in his heart for animals. The pair decided to call the tournament Homes for Hounds, hoping to raise awareness about the many animals that are waiting to be adopted from the local shelter and to raise funds toward the $800,000 required by the SPCA branch here. With a charity to support, a golf course to play on and a main sponsor, Draper and Reuter went about planning a great day of golf, which will include golfing on a championship golf course, drinks, food and many prizes to be won, including a hole in one car opportunity. The event will happen this Friday, May 13, at the Sunset Ranch Golf and Country Club. Registration will start at 11 a.m., with a shotgun start at 1 p.m.. There will be a buffet dinner served after golf, along with silent and live auctions, For more information, contact Alex Draper at 250-575-2400 or Darryl Reuter at 250868-2889.

City council agrees to $600,000 seniors’ centre expansion It seemed Kelowna politicians were poised to deal with another powder keg issue courtesy of their planning department, but mounting frustrations over the relocation of the seniors’ centre were defused Monday by a significant budget boost. “The expansion will provide for further recreation/programmable activities in the main hall for the wider community,” said the city’s architecture planner Kristine Bouw, as she successfully pitched council on a plan to allot an additional $600,000 for a 1,000 square foot expansion on the Multi-Age Centre plan. In total, the budget hike will bring the centre’s costs to around $4.1 million, and total square footage to 11,000. Council’s unanimous approval of the budget increase marked the end of a successful campaign by seniors who flooded politicians, newspapers and city staff with letters, emails and phone calls identifying concerns related to the building. In the onslaught, seniors expressed anger over the fact they signed off on a plan to leave their waterfront seniors’ centre with the expectation they’d get something of comparable size at the new Parkinson Recreation Centre site. They were incensed to learn that the new facility wouldn’t even offer the space their current building did, not to mention the fact the new two-storey design offered challenges to the flow of user traffic. Parking shortfalls were also highlighted as a potential problem. While Bouw pointed out that plans seniors

saw during consultations were never set in stone, she said city staff believed they could offset the size differences between the two buildings by utilizing Parkinson Recreation Centre and they weren’t aiming to shortchange the user group. Through the service agreement with the facility, city staff believed they could allot seniors’ time in the recreation centre’s 4,200-square-foot Apple Room, which would actually increase usable space. That idea, she said, was eventually abandoned for the one presented Monday, and archi-

tects will now move into a detailed design phase of planning. The change in tack was welcome news to the some 20 seniors who had gathered at council Monday, said Chris Bischoff. She had been part of the relocation committee for the better part of three years, and while the process was largely successful, she admits there was a change in attitude in recent months when the size differential was noted. “There was a core of people who were really concerned and who felt they hadn’t be informed all along,” Bischoff said,

explaining that there are nearly 1,200 members in the seniors society and the bulk felt the process was working. “The membership was informed through board and committee all the way through, but there wasn’t a lot of hard data to share until the March meeting and that’s when the concerns came forth. “People were naturally concerned and they pushed their point forward and its been heard and addressed…I’m grateful for council and mayor who supported that and listened to their concerns.” Council agreed it was

best to create a larger footprint for the centre, rather than have to go back and retrofit it to meet a rising seniors population. Coun. Robert Hobson, however, pointed out it’s never easy to placate ev-

Fortunately, Kelowna has a strong community of arts supporters who know the importance of financing the creative workers in our midst. Strong and steady attendance at the Kelowna Film Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular Wednesday evening showings has now allowed the organization to address some of the gaps

in arts funding. The society wants to support those individuals who choose creative life paths less travelled to the benefit of the wider community. To this end, the Kelowna Film Society has created a scholarship, bursary and grants fund to support students normally resident in the Okanagan who are registered in an approved post-secondary film program and to aid established Okanaganbased filmmakers with viable projects. Interested people should review the require-

ments listed on the Kelowna Film Society website. Deadlines in this initial funding year are fast approaching. Audience members and the many volunteers who assist the society will be pleased to know that their ticket dollars and supporting efforts will now foster future film careers and projects which will give pleasure to film lovers in the years to come. The film society has been in existence for only a few years, but its Wednesday evening showings draw on the wide range of

Effective at noon on Sunday, May 15, open fires will be restricted within most of the Kamloops Fire Centre’s jurisdiction, which includes the Central Okanagan, to help prevent humancaused wildfires and protect the public. The restriction will remain in effect until Oct. 15, or until further notice. Specifically this ban prohibits: • burning any waste, slash or other material • burning stubble or grass • the use of fireworks • burning barrels of any size or description. These open fires and burning activities are prohibited in all areas of the Kamloops Fire Centre except the Clearwater and Salmon Arm fire zones. All open burning will be prohibited across the Kamloops Fire Centre effective June 15. The ban does not apply to campfires that are a half-metre high by a halfmetre wide or smaller, or to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. People lighting a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from the campfire area, and must have a hand tool or at least eight litres of water nearby to properly extinguish a fire escape. The Kamloops Fire Centre is currently experiencing dry conditions and an elevated fire hazard, which has resulted in 26 wildfires since April 1. The public is asked to ensure campfires are not lit or kept burning during windy conditions, that adequate tools, water and people are on hand to contain a fire, and that it is fully extinguished before leaving the area. This ban covers all B.C. Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Check with civic authorities for any restrictions before lighting a fire. Anyone found in contravention of an open fire ban may be issued a ticket for $345, or if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be or-

lose your eyes… think back to when a trip along the Okanagan Lake to Vernon or down to Penticton meant a leisurely scenic and romantic journey on the Sicamous vessel. It was one of three luxury paddle wheel steamships connecting the various “landings” along the way, such as Okanagan Centre Landing, Wilson’s Landing, McKinley Landing, Carr’s Landing, Caesar Landing and Okanagan Landing. The route connected the passengers and freight from the Kettle Valley Railway in Penticton to the same from the CPR mainline in Sicamous. Fruit was picked up at many of these stops from packinghouses built along

ticton. When the steamers arrived in 1893, he was quickly put out of business. After passing through several hands, Shorts Point as it was called then, was purchased by James Cameron Dun-Waters who renamed it Fintry after his home in Scotland. For 30 years Dun-Waters developed the Fintry delta into a dairy farm and world renowed breeding operation for Ayrshire cattle. He developed one of the first telephone systems in the valley and constructed his own hydroelectric power plant running off the spectacular Shorts Creek Falls. Now, to think only a few years ago, this beautiful historical delta with its fertile farmland and fabulous buildings, was destined to become a development project. But due to public input from concerned citizens, the provincial government made the visionary decision to declare it a provincial park. The base was created for the nonprofit group Friends of Fintry to begin restoring the buildings and gardens. The “Friends” have made huge strides since then, such as the restoration of the unique octagonal dairy barn and the manor house. The packinghouse, while not yet accessible to the public, has been secured from future deterioration and will be restored as funding permits. That brings me to the exciting fundraiser on Saturday in support of these efforts. Do yourself a favour and mark your calendar for May 14, and check out the Fintry Spring Plant Festival that takes place at the Fintry Manor House. This will be a fabulous event for gardeners and non-gardeners alike of all ages. Also, on Friday night at 7:30 p.m., be sure to take in the lecture in the theatre at Okanagan College, by Barry Agar, head gardener at Royal Roads University. Check out the website www.fintry.ca for more information about the events at Fintry on Saturday. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 News Talk Sports Saturdays at 8 a.m.

Challenge set for 2011 campaign Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A nagging injury kept Carson Gill on the sidelines for much of the last two Pacific Coast Soccer League seasons. As the healthy captain of the Okanagan Challenge in 2011, the 21-yearold defender hopes to make up for lost time. “It’s the first time in a while I’ve been at 100 per cent,” said Gill, who struggled with a groin tear the last two years. “I’m excited and looking forward to be back playing again, whatever my responsibilities are. I know a lot of the local guys and some of the guys I played with at Simon Fraser, so it should be a good situation. We should be competitive again this year.” Gill and his teammates will open the new PCSL campaign on Saturday afternoon in Kamloops against the Excel. The teams will play for the Sieben Cup, an annual game for bragging rights between the two cities. Getting his first exposure to the PCSL will be the Challenge’s rookie head

coach, Kelly Wolverton. An assistant the last four seasons at The University of the South men’s soccer program in Sewanee, Tenn., Wolverton came recommended to the local club by former Challenge coaches Alan Koch and Clint Schneider. The 29-year-old Wolverton takes over the reins of a team that won the PCSL title in 2009 and reached the league final in 2010. “I think the benchmark has certainly been set here the last two years,” Wolverton said. “We’ll only have four practice sessions before the season starts, so right now I’m holding back on any nervousness, excitement or expectations until we really get going. When we know what we need to be doing and what areas we need to work on, then we’ll have a better idea. But we definitely want to set the bar high for this season.” Wolverton will be coaching a relatively young squad this summer with Carson Gill providing both leadership and direction on the pitch.

“He’s chomping at the bit,” Wolverton said of Gill, who red-shirted last season at SFU. “I look for him to be my field marshal. Carson has been real helpful to me so far and he’s ready to play.” Among other players to watch will be 18-yearold attacking forward Justin Wallace from Kamloops, SFU forward John Hodnett, and local talents Taylor Turkington and Dustin Luck. Baker University (Kansas) keeper Michael Sheridan and outside midfielder Nick Agilar are both due to join the Challenge in late May. Former Challenge regulars Sang Huang, Roman Doutkevitch and Mike Killip could be available for spot duty for away games on the coast. One player Wolverton would love to see back on the pitch is Josh Leins, but concussions have forced the former team captain and Kelowna product to end his playing career. Leins will instead serve as the team’s manager. “It’s frustrating not to be able to play, but I grew up watching and worship-

Ex-Sun players go in draft Four former Okanagan Sun players were chosen Sunday in the 2011 Canadian Football League draft. Receiver Nate Coehoorn, who played with the Sun in 2006, was selected fifth overall by the Edmonton Eskimos. During his only season in the BCFC, Coehoorn caught 22 passes for 699 yards, 11 touchdowns and had an average of 31.8 yards a catch. He was also named a BCFC all-star. Coehoorn went on to play four seasons in the CIS with the University of Calgary Dinosaurs. In the fourth round,

Ty Francisco the Montreal Alouettes selected Calgary Dinosaurs offensive lineman Reed Alexander. Alexander played with the Okanagan Sun in 2005 and 2006. Tyrell Francisco, who played two seasons with

the Sun in 2005 and 2006, was chosen in the fifth round of the draft, 36th overall by the Hamilton Tiger Cats. Francisco was a jackof-all trades for the Sun serving as a kicker, receiver and along the defensive line. Francisco has been a member of the Weber State Wildcats since 2007 where he played tight end. In 2010, the Rutland grad missed all of his senior year due to a torn Achilles heel suffered in training camp. Jadon Wagner, who played with the Sun in 2003, was chosen in the sixth round by Hamilton.

ping this team and I’ll do anything I can to help them out,” said Leins, who has suffered seven concussions and hasn’t played a game since last July. “I’ll do more behindthe-scenes things, organizing, setting up practices and exhibition games, and making phone calls. “When I was coming up with the team, there were guys there opening doors for me and helping me out,” added Leins, who played five seasons with the Challenge and two at UVic. “I was lucky enough to make some contacts in the field, so maybe I can helps some of our guys out, too.” As for the on-field product in 2011, Carson Gill said the team and fans may need to exercise a little patience until all the pieces are in place. “Just for the first couple of weeks it might be a little hit-and-miss, until we get everybody on the same page and get everybody here,” Gill said. “We’re in a bit of a youth movement right now, but we’ve got a lot of talent and skill. I’d say by the end of May everything

UBCO Heat add defensive specialist to basketball roster The UBC Okanagan Heat has added a defensive specialist to its roster for the 2011-12 CIS women’s basketball season. Angela White, a 5-foot-7 guard from North Vancouver, joins the Heat after playing last season with the BCCAA’s Langara Falcons. “I’ve always wanted to play in the CIS, and (UBC Okanagan is) kind of close to home, not too far from family and friends,”

Angela White said White, a graduate of Handsworth Secondary in 2010.

White won backto-back provincial high school girls titles with the powerhouse Royals in her Grade 11 and 12 years. White will be a looking to garner minutes with the Heat by playing a role she is familiar with: a defensive stopper “At Handsworth and on Langara last year I usually would take on the other team’s top guard, that would be my role and I think that is my strongest asset,” said White.

On top of supplying solid defense for the Heat , head coach Heather Semeniuk said White will also bring character to the team. “I think she’s such a quality person,” Semeniuk said of White. “It’s a blessing to be able to coach players like her.” Semeniuk said with the addition of White, the Heat’s roster is close to being set for UBCO’s first Canada West season in 2011-12.

Excitement turned into shock when Kantz heard her name as the winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess I felt she (Jessica Franz, Capilano College) would have gotten it,â&#x20AC;? said Kantz, of Franz, who was named the B.C.

Her coach Heather Semeniuk might be prouder. Kantz is known to take recognition in stride. When contacted by the Penticton Western News, Semeniuk was pleasantly surprised.

Jenna Kantz â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, so she beat out those other two girls (Franz and Chelsea McMullen of Camosun College)?â&#x20AC;? she responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is so awesome.â&#x20AC;? That was just the start of praising the Princess Margaret grad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jen, she is the whole package. She is the student athlete. That is so fitting and she is deserving. She graduated from nursing with a 95 per cent (mark). She did it all.â&#x20AC;? During her five years, Kantz scored 862 points in 79 games and helped the Heat win two provincial championships. In her final season, Kantz was first in assists per game, averaging 5.35 and third in points 20.24 average. She was named to the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association All-Canadian team, CCAA Athlete of the Month, a BCCAA provincial all-star, BCCAA Athlete of the Week and Provincial tournament all-star. Semeniuk said Kantz is the most accomplished fifth-year player she has coached in 17 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is a phenomenal player,â&#x20AC;? added Semeniuk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is exemplary in her player personality. She never questions a call. She just plays. She loves the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never get attitude, I just think that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the whole deal,â&#x20AC;? continued Semeniuk. Kantz, who completed her practicum at Kelowna General Hospital on Wednesday, intends to play Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s league and has been asked to coach with regional teams. Next week she begins her new career as a nurse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty exciting to actually be done and start working,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Lumber Kings stop Vernon Vipers

The longer the game went, the more it seemed like it would take a fortuitrous bounce to determine the 2011 Royal Bank Cup national junior A champions Sunday at the Edgeworth Centre in Camrose. It came in the form of a blocked shot and subsequent breakaway goal by Jonathan Milley as the Pembroke Lumber Kings of Ontario dethroned the two-time defending RBC tchampion Vernon Vipers rwith a 2-0 win in the goldmedal game. After two scoreless periods of end-toend hockey, Milley, who led tournament scoring with seven goals for nine points in six games, got in the way of Ryan Renz’s point shot and collected the puck at centre ice to go in alone on Kirby Halcrow, beating the Vernon

netminder at 13:39 of the third period. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Ottawa native added an empty-netter with 15 seconds to play to seal the Lumber Kings’ first-ever national title. They were the Eastern representatives twice in the Centennial Cup, losing best-of-seven series to the Portage Terriers and Prince Albert Raiders, in 1973 and ‘77 respectively. Sunday was the first time the Vipers have lost when playing in a goldmedal game. Game MVP netminder Francis Dupuis backstopped the Lumber Kings with just his second shutout of the season, stopping all 40 Viper shots. In particular, he bailed his teammates out with several clutch stops when the Vipers began to surge late in

the first period. Halcrow, who was the busier of the two tenders in the second frame, recorded 22 saves in a fastflowing game that featured just two minor pen-

alties, both to Pembroke. Veteran Viper blueliner Adam Thompson, who will skate next season with the Yale Bulldogs, was named Vernon’s Game MVP.

Offense struggles as A’s lose four KSS badminton The Okanagan A’s gave up just 10 runs all weekend, but failed to win a game in B.C. Premier Baseball League action. The A’s scored only five runs of their own and lost all four meetings with the hometown Victoria Mariners—three of those by a single run and two in extra innings. Pitching has not been a concern for Okanagan this season—in fact, through 13 games opposing teams were hitting just .193 against the A’s. But offense has been quite another story as Okanagan is hitting well below the .200 mark as a team. “It’s frustrating,” said A’s head coach Evan Bailey. “I’ve seen three or four guys on a team struggle before, but I’ve never seen a whole team slumping like we are. We have a good team and a good group of guys. They’re just not hitting right now and it’s hard to figure out.” On Saturday, the Mar-

iners won the opener 2-1 in extra innings as the A’s managed just three hits. In Game 2, the A’s lost 3-1. On Sunday, the Mariners again needed nine innings to eke out a 2-1 win. Nolan Handley tossed three-hit ball for six innings but suffered the loss. In the series finale, the A’s scored twice in the seventh inning but fell short 3-2. The A’s are now 4-10 on the season. “That’s not even close to what I expected or where we should be,” Bailey said of his team’s record. “I said at the beginning of the season we’re a top five team and I still believe that’s where we belong. Right now we’re 10th. It’s tough to take.” Okanagan returns to action this weekend at Elks Stadium when they host the Coquitlam Reds for doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. Staff ace Jake Maters (2-0) will be back on the mound for the A’s after

missing his last three starts with an injury.

JUNIOR A’S

After sweeping Parksville a week earlier, the Okanagan A’s were the vicitims of a sweep in Junior Premier Baseball League play. The A’s fell four times to the hometown Na-

naimo Pirates: 1-0, 4-0, 7-4 and 5-4. The junior A’s (610) will host the Langley Blaze for two games Saturday at Lombardy Park, and two more Sunday at Boucherie.

BANTAM A’S

Okanagan managed a win in four tries in B.C.

Bantam AAA Baseball League play. On Saturday, at Lombardy North Delta beat the A’s 2-1 and 5-2. On Sunday at Edith Gay, Okanagan edged Tri City 8-7, then lost 13-0. The A’s (3-11) will be in Kamloops Saturday for a doubleheader.

The Kelowna Owls claimed the team title at the 2011 Okanagan Valley zone badminton championships last weekend in Salmon Arm. Finishing first in the B pool round robin, KSS lost only two of 22 matches played against opponents from Sahali Secondary (Kamloops) and Penticton High School. In the semi-finals KSS took on host Kings Christian School and, after many very close matches KSS prevailed, winning eight matches to three. The Owls then took their play up another notch in the final round, facing last year’s champions, South Kamloops Secondary. Most matches took three games, with the minimum of two points separating these rivals. Extra points were often needed to determine a winner. After 10 matches Kelowna and South Kamloops Secondary were tied at five matches each. With only mixed doubles left to play, Victor Yap and Ali Banwell walked on court to face Anthony Arduini and Madi Ellis. When it was all done Victor and Ali prevailed by scores of 2114, 21-16. The KSS players and coaches are: Tomis Bridge, George Raye, Anthony Stelzer, Tim Westerkamp, Ryan Seamark, Christopher Papke, Hayden Ostrom, Victor Yap, Carly Dal Ponte, Jenny Hostland, Aisha Aktary, Ali Banwell, Clarissa Bertoncello, Taylor Bell, Wendy Majewski and Cal Bridge. KSS will represent the Okanagan Valley at the provincial championships May 26 to 28 in Kamloops at the Tournament Capital Centre and Thompson Rivers Univer-

sity.

GRIZZLIES RUGBY…

The West Kelowna Grizzlies dropped a 34-12 decision to the Penticton Harlequins in Okanagan Rugby Union action Saturday at Parkinson. The Harlequin forwards dominated the loose early and Penticton ran in three tries in the first 15 minutes. The West Kelowna boys settled down a bit to play a stronger defensive game but the half time whistle was a bit of a welcome. In the second half the Grizz found a spark when a surprising short line out ball was clutched by prop Beau Janzen, who quickly bull-dozed his way in for a try. That was followed up by some more determined play from the Grizz and another try from Josh Kalke. Nate Ink converted the try. Next action for West Kelowna is Sunday at Parkinson against Merritt.

SPRING HOCKEY…

The Kelowna Red Stars will host the Pursuit Challenge spring hockey tournament this weekend at the Capital News Centre. The three-day event features eight bantam AAA teams from B.C. and Alberta. The Red Stars are comprised of players from the Okanagan as well as all across Canada. The other teams at the tourney are the Calgary Cowboys, Okanagan 97s, NAA Rebels, Island Stars, Alberta Jets, Vancouver Giants and B.C. Storm. Action begins Friday at 4 p.m. The final is set for Sunday at 2:45 p.m. at CNC 1.

2020,” said Manning. “In order to achieve this goal, we need more coaches, more referees, more team trainer/managers, and better in-community communications.

Ten points for French in Raiders win The Kelowna Raiders ran roughshod over the South Okanagan Flames Monday night to push their Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League record to a perfect 4-0. Tyler French paced the Raiders offensive attack with 10 points on three goals and seven assists in a 16-7 win. Scott Renner scored five times and added three helpers, Brendan Urban scored a hat-trick, Tye Hewko and Iain Hart scored twice each while Dillon McLennan added a single. Tanner Belsham earned the win in goal. On Thursday night, Kelowna returns to action when ther Kamloops Venom visits Memorial Arena in a 7:30 p.m. face off. Last Thursday night, despite being shorthanded for the entire first period, the Raiders took care of Armstrong 15-10. Kelowna penalty killers were kept busy all night as was Raiders goaltender Cody Taschuk who made 56 saves. Brendan Urban paced the Kelowna attack with five goals and an assist, Tyler French had three goals, four assists, while Jordan Urban had three goals, two assists.

SENIOR RAIDERS…

With six regular scratched from the lineup, the Kelowna Raiders battled hard but came up one goal short on Friday night in Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League action. The Raiders dropped an 11-10 decision to the hometown Vernon Tigers, Kelowna’s third one-goal setback of the 2011 season. A relatively even match throughout, neither team was able to advantage of power play opportunities at key times. With a number of veterans on the sidelines, the Raiders roster was bolstered by a several callups from Kelowna’s junior Raiders team. One of those call-ups, Scott Renner led the Kelowna attack with three goals. Brian Cope paced Vernon’s offense with four goals. The senior Raiders (1-3) return to action Friday when they take on the Armstrong Shamrocks at Nor-Val Arena. Kelowna’s at home May 27 at Memorial Arena vs Armstrong.

Prepare your dog for Okanagan summer outdoor activities

ummer tends to be a very busy time for veterinary prac-

FURRY FRIENDS

tices. Naturally, people are more engaged in outdoor activities, which while often pleasurable for both people and their pets can also at times pose health risks. Today, I will describe in brief the most common summer-related hazards for dogs. The Okanagan Valley can get very hot in the summer. Heat stroke is one of the most common reasons for emergency visits to the vet. In order to prevent heat stroke, try to exercise your dog in the morning and early evening hours. Try to avoid any excessive physical activity in the outdoors during the hot hours of the day. Make sure your pet has access to drinking water at all times. If you place your dog in the yard, even for resting, make sure it has a shaded area to stay in. Never leave your pet in the car without an open window or air conditioner, not even for a few minutes. In the summer, the temperature in a parked car can be very high and even a few minutes can jeopardize your pet’s life. Many people like to take their dog to the lake. People usually assume that all dogs are good swimmers, this is actually not true. Most dogs know how to swim, but some dogs, in particular small breed dogs and young dogs, are at higher risk of drowning. Nowadays, pet stores

Dr. Moshe Oz carry dog life jackets. If you are taking your dog along with you for boating or any other waterbased activity, it would be safer to first equip your dog with a life jacket. Summer time makes everybody more active, including snakes. Snake bites around the face and neck are the most dangerous. On top of the damage done by the snake’s venom, the face and neck might swell

up and cause respiratory impairment. Unfortunately, those areas in the body are the most common to be involved because the snakes tend to attack the dogs when they get close to sniff them. I recommend to keep your dog on a leash so you would be able to control its actions. If your dog gets bitten by a snake, seek immediate veterinary care. Hit by car is one of the most common reasons for emergency visits to the vet all year around, but there is a higher incidence of those cases during the summer. Again, always keep your dog on a leash. Don’t let your dog roam

around free on its own with no supervision. Having a fenced yard is another thing you can do to prevent your dog from getting injured. I would like to remind pet owners that preventative medicine is extremely important in summer. As discussed before in different columns, fleas and ticks are vectors of different diseases. These external parasites, along with the mosquitoes that transmit heartworm, are all temperature dependent and hence the diseases attributed to them are more prevalent in the summer. I strongly recommend to keep your dog up to date on its deworming, flea and tick control and

apply heartworm medications every month during the heartworm season (April-November). Please consult your

NEWS ▼ TOILETS AND GARBURATORS

Spring cleaning household tips What do citrus peels, ice and food colouring have in common?They’re items needed to deodorize the garburator and check for silent toilet leaks. “Spring cleaning can be simple, inexpensive and quick,” said Jason Melenchuk, with Mr. Rooter Plumbing in Kelowna. “There’s no need for fancy cleaning supplies or elaborate tasks to ensure your toilet and garburator

are in tip-tip shape.” In fact, the only items needed for these two spring cleaning tricks are probably already in the pantry. The other is in the freezer. For a fresh smelling sink, keep the citrus peels after eating an orange or cooking with lemons and limes. Follow these steps to get rid of any sink odors: • Put a cupful of ice cubes as well as citrus

peels in the garburator. • Turn on cold water and then the garburator for 15 to 30 seconds. • Then turn off the garburator and continue to rinse with cold water for 15 more seconds. While smelly sinks aren’t hard to miss, silent toilet leaks are. So here is a simple way to find out if toilets are leaking, and the only items needed are in the pantry and linen closet:

• Wrap an old towel around the base of the toilet. • Put several drops of dark food colouring into the toilet tank. • Without flushing, wait about 15 minutes. • If dye appears in the toilet bowl, the toilet has a leak. “If you’re short on time or money, these are the ideal spring cleaning projects,” Melenchuk said.

▼ ROAD IMPROVEMENT

Highway 97/Bailey corner upgrade is motoring ahead A contract worth $1.08 million has been awarded to Arthon Contractors Inc. to improve access and safety at the Highway 97/ Bailey Road intersection. The upgrade of the intersection will improve the safety of access to the Predator Ridge Golf Course development and the Commonage Road area of Vernon, from Highway 97. The improved intersection will also increase the safety of Highway 97 motorists by highlighting the intersection and improving the turn from Bailey Road onto the highway. “We all recall the tragic accident last spring that led to the first phase of safety improvements at this intersection,” said Ver-

non-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. “This is an important intersection for local residents, industry and tourists. Ongoing projects like this may not be glamorous, but necessary.” “This last phase of work will improve the safety of motorists entering and leaving the intersection from Bailey Road, reducing concerns for recreational, industrial and local travellers alike,” added Kelowna-Lake Countr MLA Norm Letnick. “A wider, more efficient intersection means drivers get where they’re going faster, safer, and happier,” Letnick said. This project involves construction of a new acceleration lane on Highway 97 for motorists turning south towards Kel-

owna from Bailey Road, extension of the left and right turn lanes on Highway 97, and installation of rumble strips on Bailey Road to warn motorists that they are approaching a stop sign. The improvements will be kept on the existing alignment. This work will build on the first phase of the project, which was completed last summer. The first phase included improvements to signage approaching the intersection, the installation of a flashing beacon to warn motorists of the intersection and placement of radar-activated speed warning signs. The maximum traffic delay is expected to be 20 minutes. Work should be completed by Aug. 31.

lack of feeling similar to wearing a thin stocking or glove. Peripheral neuropathy can affect many different nerves, from sensory nerves that register heat, pain or touch, to motor nerves that control how your muscles move, or autonomic nerves that control blood pressure, heart rate, digestion and bladder function. Specific symptoms vary from person to person, depending on the types of nerves affected. There may be gradual onset of numbness and tingling in the feet or hands which may spread upward into the legs and arms, burning pain, a sharp or electrical pain, extreme sensitivity to touch, lack of coordination, muscle weakness or paralysis if motor nerves are affected, and bowel or bladder problems if autonomic nerves are affected. Peripheral neuropathy can result from traumatic injuries, infections, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, metabolic problems and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes. Treatment in western medicine depends on the cause.

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman In many cases, peripheral neuropathy symptoms improve with time when the underlying condition that is causing it gets treated. In order to manage the painful symptoms, a number of medications are often used. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, pain and dysfunction as a result of peripheral neuropathy are caused by a blockage of qi-energy and blood. If qi-energy and blood donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flow properly, it prevents cells from receiving nourishment and can lead to pain and functional problems. In addition, depending on the symptoms experienced, there may be specific meridians that are also affected by the condition. Acupuncture treatment typically will involve both local points to treat the meridians affected and the symptoms ex-

perienced, combined with points for strengthening and building up the body to augment qi-energy and blood. In this way, acupuncture can help to relieve many of the symptoms experienced, as well as help to strengthen the body and improve health to improve the functioning of the nerves and the body as a whole. Acupuncture shows promising results for those suffering from peripheral neuropathy. Studies have demonstrated that acupuncture may help to improve nerve conduction, and the World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as a useful therapy for neurological symptoms like peripheral neuropathy. An individual may not recover immediately or completely through acupuncture, but treatment can make a difference in the symptoms experienced and oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfort level. With time, treatments may have a lasting positive impact on peripheral neuropathy and quality of life.

Comedy club patron gets the last human rights laugh L â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; orna Pardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2007 visit to a Vancouver comedy club has netted her human rights damages of $22,500. I sense this is a decision weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be hearing about for a long time to come. Pardy filed a human rights complaint against comic Guy Earle and the owner of the Vancouver club (Zestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) at which he was performing in 2007. Pardy alleged she and her same-sex partner were â&#x20AC;&#x153;subjected to a tirade of homophobic and sexist commentsâ&#x20AC;? by Earle and that, as a result, she experienced harassment. Earle denied that he discriminated against Pardy. He said that Pardy and her companions were â&#x20AC;&#x153;loud, disruptive, and heckled the comics who performed that evening, including him.â&#x20AC;? Earle and the owner of Zestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s applied in 2008 to have Pardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human rights complaint dismissed. Both applications

Robert Smithson were rejected by the tribunal. Earle and Zestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appealed that decision to B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supreme Court which sent the matter back to the tribunal for reconsideration. Now, four years after the dustup at Zestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the tribunal has issued its decision. The result (all 523 paragraphs of it spread over 103 pages) is a finding that Pardy was discriminated against and an accompanying award of damages of $22,500. The facts, as found by the tribunal, were that Pardy and her partner and a friend were moved to a table near the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage when the patio closed that evening. They did not heckle or otherwise disrupt the

showâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when Earle saw Ms. Pardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partner give her a kiss, he â&#x20AC;&#x153;directed virulent insults exclusively at her and others at her table based on her personal characteristics as a woman and a lesbian.â&#x20AC;? Earle also â&#x20AC;&#x153;angrily left the stage twice to confrontâ&#x20AC;? Pardy and her group. Each time, she threw a glass of water at him and told him not to approach their table. Later, Earle cornered Pardy, continuing to physically and verbally abuse her and grabbed and broke her sunglasses. The tribunal found that Earle repeatedly and publicly subjected her to extreme homophobic and sexist comments and physical aggression while he was hosting the â&#x20AC;&#x153;open micâ&#x20AC;? comedy show that evening. On the â&#x20AC;&#x153;free speechâ&#x20AC;? issue, the tribunal determined that Earle was not â&#x20AC;&#x153;telling jokesâ&#x20AC;? and there was no evidence he was using comedy to expose the stereotypes of others. Nothing about his as-

serted purposes in attacking Pardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sex and sexual orientation justified elevating his right of free expression over her right to be protected against discriminatory conduct. This case has attracted a substantial amount of commentary and both sides have their vocal supporters. On the one hand, a casual observer might say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was in a comedy clubâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;what did she expect? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what comics do.â&#x20AC;? On the other hand, Pardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters would assert she was entitled to enjoy the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services without being singled out and subjected to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tiradeâ&#x20AC;? aimed squarely at her gender and her sexual persuasion. The question of whether human rights protections should extend to a setting such as a comedy club is definitely a thorny one. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scenarios like this which are the basis for the legal truism that â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S AN INDICATION THAT THE HUMAN RIGHTS REGIME WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE LET LOOSE IS AN EVOLVING ONE IN WHICH MANY OF THE AREAS ON THE FRINGE HAVE YET TO BE CHARTED.

cases make bad law.â&#x20AC;? Earle was reported, in the Globe and Mail, as saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The point of stand-up comedy is that you can say whatever the hell you want on stage. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sharp end of a free society.â&#x20AC;? He may be attributing a little more importance to the societal role of comedians than they warrant (if barbarian hordes sweep down on us out of the hills, will anyone be relying on comedians to stem the tide with

their stinging one-liners?) but his point does seem to have resonated in some minds. Commentator Ezra Levant, for instance, referred to the tribunal, in the wake of this decision, as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;patented kangaroo courtâ&#x20AC;? and to the hearing process as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;circus.â&#x20AC;? I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to hear what he thinks about the recent arrest on the Isle of Wight of lounge singer, Simon Ledger, for subjecting a passer-by to â&#x20AC;&#x153;racial abuseâ&#x20AC;? by singing the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kung Fu Fighting.â&#x20AC;? The commentary back and forth on the Pardy complaint suggests to me that we simply havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decided, as a society, whether human rights protections should be extended to such fringe settings. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an indication that the human rights regime weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve let loose is an evolving one in which many of the areas on the fringe have yet to be charted. Members of the legal profession know that dif-

ficult fact patterns, such as this one, make for decisions that are susceptible to appeal. That being the case, Pardy and Earle and the owner of Zestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s might be preparing themselves for the long and winding road towards the Supreme Court of Canada.

Avoid T3 and T5 annual income

ax efficient investing is minimizing the after-tax return of an investment. Important consideration must be based on the investment choice matched to the client’s suitability. This is the time of year of annual tax filing, and reviewing our investment tax slips. Do you enjoy including T3 and T5 income on your annual tax return? This means you pay CRA an additional percentage of your investment earnings back to the government in the form of additional taxes. Do you want to explore the option of tax efficient investing to understand tax efficient options available? The big buzz in the investment world today is with the TFSA, and it is a great concept. The Tax Free Savings Account is limited to the annual contribution room of $5,000 per year. If you contributed the annual maximum allowed since the TFSA started, you now have invested a total of $15,000 per adult

efficient manner outside of their registered investments. Who can benefit from Corporate Class investing? Clients who hold nonregistered assets, and received T3 and T5 income each year can benefit. There are many benefits to using Corporate Class funds. Annual taxation can be avoided or delayed, and capital gains and losses can be timed by you, the client, in the future to minimize annual taxation. When an income stream is needed from a Corporate Class, a T-class provides a tax-efficient cash flow in many different types of investments. This provides monthly, semi annual or annual income at the client’s discretion. T-class investing is a return of capital (ROC), and the portion that is return of capital is not taxed. It lowers the adjusted cost base of the investment by an amount equal to the distribution value. Conservative investors can choose balanced

Example, you can invest $500,000 within this class structure, and pay minimal or no annual taxation. You can reduce, defer or avoid taxable income each year from T3 and T5 income with Corporate Class investing. This style of investing has been available for over a decade.

You can put the bond portion in a balanced mutual fund within the corporate tax structure. Instead of using regular mutual funds for nonregistered investing, you should invest in a corporate class structure. Corporate class and Tclass means you pay less tax annually by investing like the pro’s do. No one else cares as much about your tax efficient investment portfolio as you should.

Clues to the boss’s death are all in the script STAFF REPORTER

There’s a new Okanagan theatre troupe claiming it can help—although they need help finding hit men, pardon, actors.

Murder and Mayhem Ink specializes in bad boss assassinations, and they’re pretty good at taking out the good, jovial ones too. “We go for the throat,” explains Donna Brayshaw, one of three actors who founded the company last fall. Working together for the past 15 years or so, local actors Brayshaw, Patricia Burns and Frank Takacs noticed a lot of talent in the Okanagan goes largely unnoticed, not to mention unpaid, by the many corporations who circle local resorts for conferences and meeting dates looking for something for their guests to do. Like bloodhounds to a crime scene, they could smell opportunity and formed a private murder mystery writing company to fill the void. “We thought, lets give Okanagan actors something they can dig into, lets get them out there and get some bookings for them,” said Brayshaw. From Viva Musica, to Kelowna Actor’s Studio to Theatre Kelowna Society productions, Brayshaw said she’s had parts with them all but

knows many local actors just don’t get regular work and, thus, don’t get to share their talents anywhere near as often as they should. Bouncing off the Max Haines boxed murder mystery idea, the group came up with its own formula, bringing people in and out through the event and asking participants to solve the mystery from the conversations that have occurred during the night. “We have this wonderful, huge death scene,” said Brayshaw. “We bring in a coroner and there’s lots of blood.” There’s also a good deal of inside jokes. The troupe interviews their victim/employer very thoroughly before sitting down to write, and this, of course, is where it will get ugly for the bosses. The company is currently looking for actors to join the troupe. Brayshaw said they’re really looking for people who can think on their feet and ad lib when necessary. “We like to describe what we do as ‘structured improv,’ so we need actors who can roll with the punches,” she said.

Djangirov’s Rhapsody in Blue ‘must be heard to be believed’ GLASVEGAS: EUPHORIC, HEARTBREAK (COLUMBIA)

From what I have read, Scottish band Glasvegas (a combination of their home town Glasgow and Las Vegas) used to have strong reference points to doo wop, rockabilly, and ’50s pop, but none of that can be heard on their second album. Glasvegas became huge U.K. hype machine recipients when the big British pop music magazine NME (as in New Musical Express) named their song, Daddy’s Gone, as the second best song of 2007. The band released a debut album that showed plenty of promise and it even drew the attention of Elvis’ daughter Lisa Marie who recorded some sides with the foursome. But this new album

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell ELDAR DJANGIROV: THREE STORIES, SOLO PIANO (SONY)

Russian born Eldar Djangirov is evolving into something of a phenom in the jazz and classical fields where he crosses over to both genres. He is a very boyish looking 23-year-old but Djangirov has been recording since he was in his mid teens for the venerable Sony Masterworks Jazz label. This new album, his sixth I believe, is his first stickered as a debut solo as he used

ginal Russian Lullaby and Gershwin’s Embraceable You. Eldar Djangirov also proves his versatility on tunes via Bach’s Prelude in C# Major, Thelonious Monk’s playful In Walked Bud and Charlie Parker’s Donna Lee. To my ears the Gershwin sides are worth the price of admission alone especially with the 15+ minute take of Rhapsody In Blue but there are gems galore on this 14-track 75

To my knowledge this self-titled album by Bel-

gium-based woman’s choir Scala and the classically trained Kolacny Brothers, is their first to be released domestically. The choir and brothers, Steven on piano and Stijn conducting, have released at least a half dozen well received albums in Europe. But one fateful day a couple of years ago the brothers got an email from film director David Fichner asking if he could use their cover of Radiohead’s Creep for the trailer to his soon-to-be-released box office smash Social Network. For more than five years the Kolacny Brothers have been recording classic rock hits with just piano and choir and the results are often surprisingly delightful. There are nifty choir workouts of gems by Foo Fighters, Metallica, Nirvana, Dave Matthews, Peter Gabriel etc., while my fave three tracks on this new album includes an angelic Use Somebody from The Kings Of Leon, Champaign Supernova from Oasis and With Or With-

One act theatre at its best! Directed and designed by Brian Haigh

The Sins of the Mother is nothing short of a head scratcher and a headache. This is really overblown, over-produced music as if the band and producer Flood (of U2, Depeche Mode, PJ Harvey, Smashing Pumpkins and dozens more) were trying to morph Phil Spector’s 1960s wall of sound using cheap compression techniques and too much gimmickry. The result is an over busy, confusing, artless mélange of annoying noise that creates dread for a repeated listen. Not sure if the Glaswegians were trying to approximate Scott Walker on Lots Sometimes or trying on a few U2-isms on the histrionic Dream Dream Dreaming. Don’t know, don’t care. The overly melodramatic Euphoric Heartbreak is sure to stiff. D

Three Stories is just Djangirov alone and the name augmentation may signal a change in his musical direction. This time out Djangirov plays just solo acoustic piano where he plays ‘three stories’ with classical, jazz and standard repertoire pieces such as Sammy Cahn’s I Should Care, Jimmy Van Huesen’s Darn That Dream as well as the piece de resistance, George Gershwin’s full length Rhapsody In Blue that must be heard to be believed. Djangirov has been lauded along with fleet fingered jazz giants such as Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum, but Djangirov also plays with a romantic, lyrical style on his ori-

SUMMER STRIPES

Playful colourways highlight this summery topper. We’ve knit this sporty v-neck with Sirdar’s “Summer Stripes” yarn, a 60/40 cotton/acrylic blend. This perfect composition is the best of both worlds in that the wearer has the comfort and attributes of the cotton coupled with the lightness and loft of the acrylic. Instructions for this very easy pattern are given in 12 sizes including larger ‘plus’ sizes from bust size 81 cm (32 in) to 137 cm (54 in) and requires 6 to 10 - 50 gram balls. The first 6 to 8 cm are done in a 2 X 2 rib and the body is all done in simple st-st on 4 mm needles. The yarn itself makes all the colour effect. “Summer Stripes” has 8 tropical sunset colourways and is machine washable. This yarn is also available in 20 summer solid shades, called Sirdar “Calico.” For a free copy of this knitting pattern, please visit: www.freepatterndownload.com/beta/ Please click on Sirdar pattern number 9421.

named, Kopek. The group has been together for five years and have survived by continually winning battle of the band contests that provide touring and recording money and now Kopek have been signed by the small indie Irish label Religion Music (although this is not CCM rock) as distributed in Canada by a major, making this easy to find. There are great blues rockers here from the garage-styled Love Sick Blues to the AC/DC-inspired Love Is Dead and the Kings Of Leon-like Floridian. A fine little find and you know the band has its heart in the right place when they name drop their lost but not forgotten Irish guitar hero Rory Gallagher. B+

Kelowna Art Gallery invites everyone to Go Party Pyper Geddes

Gabor Szilasi: The Eloquence of the Everyday is organized by the Musée d’art de Joliette and the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, and is accompanied by a major publication by curator David Harris.

he Kelowna Art Gallery is proud to host its 5th Go Party! Fundraiser on Friday, May 13. The evening will be based around the theme Elegance and Eloquence—a throwback to the elegance of 1960s Hollywood, as well as a throw to the launch of

their latest exhibition by highly acclaimed photographer Gabor Szilasi, titled The Eloquence of Everyday. The exhibition is a remarkable selection of the artist’s images from the past five decades, taken in three locations: Hungary, rural Quebec and Mont-

around day-to-day life. There is something about his vivid, black and white pictures that makes them unforgettable. At once haunting, a display of a ghostly past, and at the same time full of beauty and elegance of the simple things in life that jaded eyes can sometimes miss. Szilasi is a documentary photographer renowned for his humanitarian vision. His fascination with daily life has led him to search for images that show the traces of man’s presence—be it photos of people, interiors, vernacular architecture and urban landscapes. He became interested in photography in the early 1950s and went on to document the Hungarian Revolution in Budapest before fleeing the communist regime in 1956, and eventually immigrated to Canada in 1957. His notable career has largely focused on capturing images of townscapes, cityscapes, architectural views and portraiture.

2 gal pots

Gabor Szilasi: The Eloquence of the Everyday includes early images of Hungary in the 1950s, as well as some made since 1980. The photographs of rural Quebec date principally from the 1970s, while those of Montreal span from the late 1950s to the present day. Professional and hobby photographers alike will easily connect with the simple yet moving imagery in Szilasi’s work. Prior to the fundraiser and official launch of the exhibition, the public is invited to the Kelowna Art Gallery from 6 to 6:30 p.m. for a free guided tour in the gallery and discussion of the works with the artist, Gabor Szilasi, along with guest curator David Harris. Following the free tour the Elegance and Eloquence fundraiser offers a dazzling reception featuring door prizes, a silent auction, complimentary refreshments, cash bar, photo studio,and musical entertainment by

local jazz singer Anna Jacyszyn. Guests can expect a fashionable and entertaining evening, kicking off their weekend in style reminiscent of old Hollywood. Attendees are reminded to dress to impress—think Hepburn, Dunaway or Connery. Four exhibitions will be open for viewing in the various galleries. The evening is sponsored by Meiklejohn Architects, and supported by Tree Brewing Co. and Urban Distilleries. Tickets for GO Party! 5: Elegance & Eloquence are $15 for members, $20 for non-members, available from Mosaic Books, online at www.kelownaartgallery.com, by calling 250-762-2226 or directly from the art gallery, 1315 Water St. The party goes from 7 to 10 p.m. Pyper Geddes is the general manager of Habitat and an A-OK contributor. pyper@thehabitat.ca www.awesomeokanagan.com

annual general meeting last month. “The knowledge, experience and expertise of our directors are invaluable as we review applications and funding requests from industry,” said IAF chair, Stuart Wilson. “We welcome Robert to the IAF board and look forward to his future contributions.” Dawson brings a lot of agricultural experience to this new role. He was born in Kelowna, where his family began the development of a 100-acre orchard in 1948. After graduating from the University of British Columbia with a bachelor of science in 1967 and earning a bachelor of law degree in 1970, Dawson practiced law until the mid-1970s, before purchasing the family orchard. Since then, he has served the tree fruit sector in numerous capacities, including as vice-president and chair of the Okanagan Similkameen Cooperative Growers and as a director for B.C. Tree Fruits Limited and Sun Rype Products Limited. Dawson was appointed chair of the Okanagan Valley Tree Fruit Authority in 1990 and remained in that office until 2002, helping implement many of the policies that remain priorities of the industry today. Dawson is currently serving a second term on the board of directors for the Okanagan Plant Improvement Company and, in 2008, was honoured with a lifetime membership in the B.C. Fruit Growers Association. Dawson believes that the success of the tree fruit sector depends on growers’ capacity to provide a consistently high-quality product. “There are many ways to market our products, but our challenge is to remain competitive in yield, quality and price,” he said. Dawson replaces director Don Claridge, an Okanagan orchardist who served on the IAF board since 2009. The Investment Agriculture Foundation is an industry-led not-for-profit organization that strategically invests federal and provincial funds in support of innovative projects to benefit the agriculture and agri-food industries in B.C.
