JENNA BAINS from Chute Lake Elementary was among the 700 competitors at a Kelowna school track and field meet in the Apple Bowl.
IT’S NO LONGER a question of if Okanagan Lake will reach its ‘full pool’ this year, but when, say provincial government environment and weather officials.
LOCAL ORCHARDISTS and other farmers are lining up in support of a Yes vote for the HST referendum, pressing their case at a press conference on Friday in Kelowna.

t doesn’t cost much to get into, and the price of what you go home with has risen to great heights recently, but gold panners say it still isn’t likely to pay too many bills. However, it is a lot of fun, along with some hard work, says Jerry Stainer, with the Vernon Placer Miner’s Club. This year, the club recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of its B.C. Open Gold Panning Championships and family day at the Gold Panner Campground in Cherryville—with much more than just gold panning. The recent meteoric rise in the price per ounce of gold—currently at about $1,500 a Troy ounce—may be the reason there’s been an increase in the number of members in the club, Stainer admits, but he says, “We just do it for recreation. “You can’t make much money the way we pan for gold. You don’t even make enough to pay for your gas.” See Fever on A3.

The gold panning championship activities include pancake breakfasts, metal detecting, barbecues, bannock baking, a gold pan toss, dirt toss and claim staking competitions. But, it’s all about the gold and most of the events and contests revolve around successful gold panning. The event draws about 250 people to the campground on the Victoria Day long weekend each YOU CAN’T MAKE year, says Stainer.

Jerry Stainer Many dress the part, with suspenders over plaid shirts, slouch hats and beards, or with long dresses from decades ago, when that’s what every woman wore—a time when pioneers were drawn to new areas by the discovery of gold. In any case, he said most people don’t sell the flakes of colour they find in local creeks, although some make jewelry from it. Much of it is in really small flakes, and panning for it by hand is really hard on the back and legs, noted Stainer. He’s been gold panning for 15 years. On the other hand, Fred Lubberts of Fred’s Gold Panning and Mining Supplies in Kelowna, says he’s been gold panning for 25 or 30 years and he has found a few decent-sized nuggets on his claim in the Revelstoke area. With the rising price of gold, he has seen more interest in recent years and he figures with the right equipment you could make a living, if you’re in the right spot. But, that’s the key. “I always advise people to see it as a hobby—but you could find just the right spot,” he commented. It is pretty exciting to find a nugget when you’re panning. The largest he’s found is seven grams, although he’s also found quite a few in the one to threegram range. Those are worth more as jewelry items than for their gold content. However, getting into the hobby doesn’t cost a lot. A simple gold pan can be purchased for $10 and you need a classifier or sieve of some sort to get rid of the larger stones; a shovel and some gumboots. It’s a hobby nearly anyone can enjoy.

dumping even more water into the valley bottom than was expected from melting snow. Plus, that snow has stayed at high elevations around the valley much longer than usual this spring, and now that it’s warmed, it is all coming down at once. Des Anderson, head of public safety and protection for the forests, lands and natural resource operations ministry, explained that high inflows from tributaries have limited the amount that can be released south. That includes inflows from the Similkameen River, which enters the Okanagan system south of the international border, but which impacts the amount of water that can be released from Osoyoos Lake. American author-
ities have had the Zosel Dam on Osoyoos Lake in Washington State full open for some time, but with high flows from the Similkameen River, Osoyoos Lake still rose. However, Anderson reported Friday that flows from the Similkameen peaked at midnight and the level in Osoyoos lake also peaked on Friday morning. That will permit them to release a little more water down the system from Okanagan Lake now, he said. A heavy rainstorm Tuesday is to blame for raising the lake’s level beyond what’s called ‘full pool,’ although that hadn’t happened yet Friday afternoon. It is forecast to occur over the weekend. “Without rainfall we will only go over a few centimetres,” noted An-
derson, “But that will all change it if rains.” He’s just hoping there won’t be much rain for the next 10 to 15 days, to allow high-elevation snow to melt and run into Okanagan Lake, without the addition of runoff from rainfall in the watershed as well. Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones is reassuring on that point. He forecasts there will be no significant rainfall in the next week. “No major storms or widespread rain is expected over the weekend,” he said, and, although a weak system is expected to go through early next week, he doesn’t predict there’ll be much rain with it. It’s also expected to move through pretty quickly. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna Yacht Club reveals expansion of 296 boat slips Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
HealthPoint
To meet summer’s moorage demands, the Kelowna Yacht Club unveiled an expansion that added 296 slips to the waterfront. “This is a very significant contribution to the whole Okanagan,” said yacht club commodore, Ross Laing at the official opening on Friday. “We not only provided tthese 300 slips with absolutely no taxpayer support, but by doing so, we have also freed a large number rof slips around the Okanagan as our members move their boats to their new slips from other marinas around the Okanagtan.” t The expansion makes the local club the largest freshwater marina in the Pacific Northwest, if not Canada, and makes some inroads at meeting pentup demand for moorage. The Regional District
of the Central Okanagan undertook a major study for the development of future recreational marine facilities and found that 40 per cent of Central Okanagan households own a boat and a further 10 per cent plan to purchase a boat in the near future. However, the study reported, there was dissatisfaction on the part of the majority of boaters with the current marine recreational facilities.” Around 80 per cent agreed that there were not enough facilities to meet the future demand. They also found that more than three-quarters agree local governments should invest more in these facilities, with special emphasis on boat launches. It’s not information that’s escaped the city, and in the fallout of a fuel spill at Kerry Park last year, an opportunity has arisen that could improve the infrastructure on the water-
front. The City of Kelowna didn’t renew the contract with the business owners Marina Concession at Queensway Avenue, commonly known as the Kelowna Marina. The snack shack, dock, pilings and associated fuel distribution lines will be removed in preparation for a bit of new life. In discussions about how to proceed with a new boating facility, city council expressed a desire for improved amenities along the downtown waterfront, that include improved quality of on-water structures, public day moorage, boat fuel sales in a more environmentally sensitive and technologically advanced manner that reduces potential harm to the environment and boat rentals. Now staff will be issuing a Request for Proposals this summer that will detail the requirements for a new on-water marina.

If a suitable proposal is made and accepted, the city will purchase and install an underground fuel
storage tank with all appropriate leak detection systems. Meantime, on-water
fuel sales are available at Shelter Bay Marina on the southwest side of the bridge or at the Eldor-
ado Marina on Lakeshore Road. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Flashmob dance trend erupts Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It’s official: Fat Cat’s going viral. The incredibly popular festival, which has been drawing children from all over the Okanagan to Kelowna’s waterfront each year, took it to the next level Friday adding a flashmob to the program. Picking up on the spontaneous dance trend sweeping YouTube, students from Springvalley Elementary School broke out some impressive dance moves, possibly to entertain Fat Cat fans well beyond the gates of Waterfront Park.
“It’s like school spirit,� said Grade 5 student Misha Boesten. “It’s taken like two, three weeks to learn.� “We got the dance from a Rutland High School student, Katheryn,� added Carley Folk and Emilie Getz. “She came and helped us in the beginning and we started practising outside this week.� Sitting with their friends Teanna Henke, Mackenzie MacInnes and Siobhan Loudoun on the grass, the group said the other big hit for them was the rides. Every year Fat Cat brings in the staple bouncy castles, but this
year a twirling merry-goround was proving very popular. Michelle Tamashiro and her busy brood felt it was the highlight of the event for them as well, at least the four kids of her six-child household she brought thought so. “We just moved here from Victoria,� she said. “So this is our first time out.� “They really liked it. There was lots of volunteers to help and things geared for the little guys,� she said nodding to her youngest in a stroller.

Keeping the banks on their toes Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna mortgage broker Scott Peckford has a secondary stream of income most people wouldn’t talk about—he’s a bank robber. Well, he’s written a book called How To Rob Your Bank and over the course of various speaking engagements, where visitors have lapped up the tips he’s dishing out, sales have really picked up. One more thing, he’s not teaching people to be the type of bank robber that gets thrown in the
clink. He just wants people to wake up and be aware of how their relationship with their bank could be working against them. “The first thing I tell people, is never marry your bank—dating them is cheaper,� he said, offering a sneak peak into the pages of his self-published book. “If you put lots of products and services in one institution you may think you’ll get a better deal, but that’s not always the case.� In fact, a recent study on banking in Canada
said that the highest income earners in the country, actually pay the highest interest rates on varying forms of loans. “They just stay with their institutions and never check,� said Peckford, adding that first time loans come with less interest, going through a mortgage broker tends to be cheaper and people in small towns get a worse deal. All in all, it doesn’t seem fair, he said, pointing out that’s the motivation behind penning the 94-page book and touring. He wants consumers to be more proactive, because

â–ź SOFT REAL ESTATE MARKET
Q
Increase seen in rental availability Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
In a bittersweet twist of fortune for Kelowna, the city has become one of the easiest places to find rental accommodation in the country. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s spring survey revealed that in April 2011 Kelowna’s rental vacancy rate was 6.6 per cent, ranking it alongside other rental-laden cities like Windsor, Ontario, which had a 9.4 per cent rental rate, Abbotsford with a 6.6 per cent rate and Charlottetown, PEI, which had a 4.9 per cent rental rate. On a provincial basis, the highest vacancy rate was in Alberta with 4.7 per cent. While it’s good news for those who aren’t in a buyer’s frame of mind, bolstered rental rates tie in directly to Kelowna’s weakened real estate market. In recent years an over supply of condos and secondary homes prompted many owners to turn their property into rentals.
“There’s a lot of investor owned condos out there, available for rent,� said Kelowna CMHC market analyst, Paul Fabri. “In the mid 2000s, we saw a lot of condominium development and much of that supply was bought by purchasers who wanted secondary homes. Since then a lot of that has come on-stream as rental.� Since 2007, when the rental rate was zero, there have been some other developments as well. Some developers entered into building rental properties, and a couple are still in the works. A lot more new, detached homes were built with secondary suites and the university started building up their on-campus supply to meet the needs of a growing student body. And, while the supply side grew, Fabri noted there was another development as well. “Demand has moderated. There was some outflow of renters in to home ownerships in the last two years, but another reason
why it’s moderated is that employment growth has slowed in the Kelowna area, so that translated to less demand,� he said. Nationwide the average rental apartment vacancy rate in Canada’s 35 major centres has actually gone the other way. It decreased to 2.5 per cent in April 2011, from 2.9 per cent in April 2010, according to the spring Rental Market Survey. “Immigration continues to be a factor in supporting rental housing demand. Recent immigrants tend to rent first before becoming homeowners,� said Bob Dugan, chief economist at CMHC’s Market Analysis Centre. “In addition, condominium completions moved lower in the past months, while rental apartment unit completions remained relatively stable. As a result, the overall demand for rental apartment units increased faster than supply for this type of housing. Accordingly,

this pushed Canada’s vacancy rate downward. “ The results of CMHC’s spring survey reveal that, in April 2011, the major centres with the lowest vacancy rates were: Winnipeg and Regina with 0.7 per cent. At the provincial level, Manitoba has the lowest vacancy rate at 0.7 per cent. All other provinces were above 2.0 per cent. Rents haven’t changed significantly in the last year.

2010. Provincially, the highest average monthly rents were in Alberta, which were $1,029, and British Columbia which was $1,015 and Ontario at $980.

Local farmers adamant that the HST should stay
Animal cruelty alleged
STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna cherry grower Christine Dendy comes from a pioneer Kelowna family and has been in agriculture all her life. Thursday she joined Kelowna grape grower Doug Sperling, Enderby dairy farmer Lorne Hunter and the president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, Joe Sardinha, in standing up for the HST and urging everyone to vote in favour of the existing tax system in the upcoming referendum. With her accounting background, she says she’s been fighting the Provincial Sales Tax for nine years because it adds to the cost of all the capital expenditures required to keep her East Kelowna growing and packing operation going. Waving her arm around the farmyard in front of her historic barn Friday, she pointed out just some of the equipment on which she had to pay PST on the purchase

conference held Friday to show the local agriculture industry’s support for the HST was cherry grower Christine Dendy, grape grower Doug Sperling and dairy farmer Lorne Hunter. price—whereas with the Harmonized Sales Tax, she would have received
sonal use, but for agricultural use: to grow food. Food is supposed to be tax exempt in B.C., yet under the PST farmers were charged PST on a lot of the costs to produce it, she said. She explained that the upcoming vote on the HST is not actually on whether we should have to pay it on doughnuts, but on whether we favour that system of tax collection or the PST system. The details of how much the tax is or what it is to be paid on can all be changed whenever politicians decide to make alterations. The vote is on whether what Dendy says is a much simpler system should continue in place, or whether we want to go back to separate collection of both a PST and a federal tax. “The question is

whether we want to ditch this simpler system of collecting tax,” she said. She says the PST was totally unfair because it was hidden and imbedded in the costs of goods and services at the retail level, so either prices had to be raised to include it or businesses had to absorb the cost. The HST requires only one tax collection and audit bureaucracy to administer it instead of two and it’s a much sim-
plified system for business, she notes. In addition, she noted it would be a huge job to go back to the PST; re-instating that bureaucracy and re-training everyone involved, from small business to government staff. “It would be a huge job to go back and a big step backwards,” she said. Sperling noted that his industry is a critical agricultural sector in the Okanagan; one with deep roots which is currently growing stronger and he said this is the biggest policy change to help farmers in a long time. “With the HST, we get our input taxes back, which helps local B.C. producers. There’s one simple, unified system of collecting.” It’s estimated the HST saves agriculture in B.C. $20 million, mostly on capital costs. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna RCMP are investigating a case of animal endangerment in rural Rutland. “Residents of a home in the 1600 block of Loseth Road advised police that they believe someone is responsible for the death and injury of domesticated animals on their property,” said Const. Steve Holmes. They reported their horse had chemical burn marks on its upper body and that this was the second time in a week that chemical burns were discovered. Police searched the area that the horse had access to and did not find any possible source of the chemical, leading them to believe it was a deliberate act. “Police were advised that, three months ago, the owners discovered their dog dead on the property and a vet confirmed that it had been poisoned,” he said. “One month ago, they found one of their goats was dead from a wound to the eye, believed to have been caused by a projectile, possibly a bullet.” Holmes said the owners do not know why someone would want to kill and maim their animals and say they have no enemies. The offence of killing, injuring or endangering an animal is a breach of Section 445 of the Criminal Code and carries a maximum punishment of up to five years in prison. If anyone has any information concerning any of these incidents, please contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS) or crimestoppers@shaw.ca.

Fortis plans wi-fi electric meters
j
To the editor: I have learned that Fortis plans to replace our power meters with a wireless meter. The new meters will be able to read the amount of electrical use of all appliances and outlets in our home every few minutes throughout the day. This wireless radiation will pass through the walls of our house, through our appliances and through our bodies. On the Internet I have watched radiation and health experts in Canada and the US talk about the possibility of negative reactions in the human body where electrical microwaves react with the natural electromagnetic waves of the human body. I am concerned about the long term effects of this kind of radiation, especially on small children or people who have poor immune systems. Will sleeping in a room next to a meter be a concern? What if you live in an apartment sleeping in a room above 20 meters sending strong impulses every three minutes? People who are electrically sensitive are that way be-

Yale treaty is toughest test yet for Clark government
T
he treaty with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon was hastily approved as the B.C. legislature adjourned for the summer last week. This treaty was by far the most significant work of the legislature session, and it may make or break the hugely expensive B.C. treaty effort. Yet it received all of four hours of debate during the abbreviated spring legislature session and will probably get little attention when it reaches the House of Commons for final approval. A few eyebrows were raised when Chief Justice Lance Finch of the B.C. Court of Appeal entered the legislature to give Royal assent to the treaty and
a handful of other bills. This would normally be the duty of Lt.-Gov. Steven Point, but he was on a four-day visit to promote literacy at reserves in the Quesnel Tom and Williams Lake area. I’m advised by the Fletcher lieutenant-governor’s staff that this trip had been scheduled for some time, and his absence had nothing to do with the treaty awaiting his signature. It is purely a coincidence that Point is a former tribal chair of the Sto:lo Nation, which sent a delegation to the legislature to protest the Yale treaty just before it was tabled. The only substantive scrutiny of the treaty, and the only vote against it, came from independent Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson. He stressed that he sup-

ports the Yale’s right to a treaty, but detailed the Sto:lo’s objections. Their central objection is that the 150-member Yale band is an arbitrary creation of the Indian Act, a splinter group of the larger Sto:lo Nation. The treaty formalizes the Yale’s control over key canyon fishing and rack drying sites that were vital to survival for thousands of years. Ottawa outlawed transfer of native hereditary property rights in its notorious potlatch law of 1884, and native fish sales in 1888. This disrupted whatever order had been imposed by Sto:lo clans on the fishing sites. Some Sto:lo people were moved south to reserves in the Fraser Valley, where they were expected to abandon their traditional ways and become farmers. Sto:lo Nation president Joe Hall put it to me this way: “I don’t want to
be like Donald Trump and look at people’s birth certificates, but the Yale are a Sto:lo band. They would have been chased out of there a long time ago if they weren’t.” In the treaty debate, Simpson put it to Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak that the federal and provincial governments have resorted to a “firstpast-the-post” system to force progress on treaties. He said the tiny Yale community gets a huge advantage by completing a treaty, while some Sto:lo bands remain at an early stage of negotiations and still others aren’t in treaty talks. Polak cited a section that is now standard in modern treaties. It protects the constitutional rights of other aboriginals where a court upholds a claim to See Fletcher A11

LETTERS
TRANSFER TO DVD
Taxpayers starting to do a lot of figuring Open letter to Premier Christy Clark: Bob is a hard worker who didn’t know what to think about this HST, so he didn’t. However, his boss did, and announced one day that the HST was increasing company profits and he wanted to reward the employees and gave them all a raise. Bob began to think that the HST was a good thing—he got a raise because of it! Bob wants to save money so he will purchase privately when he can. The neighbour had his truck for sale so Bob decided to buy it. Oh no! There is now HST on the purchase when he goes to transfer it, which previously just had PST on it—an extra five per cent for Bob to pay. The good news is that Bob feels he can finally upgrade to a larger house.
Oh no! There is now HST on the commission he has to pay his realtor to sell his current house—an extra tax again. So after getting hit with these new taxes, Bob decided to look on the government website to see what else he has to pay new taxes on. Oh no! And the website didn’t even mention the two biggies he just got nailed for. Bob is an average British Columbian with an average family, but by his calculations, he will pay way more tax than the government’s advertised, $350. Bob was talking to his other neighbour about his HST experience and his neighbour whispered in his ear: “Bob, it gets worse.” “How so?” Bob asked. His neighbour responds: “These are all newly taxed items.
Even if the government reduces the HST by 2014 there is nothing to prevent them, or the next elected government from raising the tax in the future and they will have the benefit of taxing all these new things that were not drawing two levels of tax before. For the first time, we may actually have a say in stopping the government from increasing our tax burden. Let’s not blow it.” Oh no! Bob’s new tax burden is costing him more than his raise. Premier Clark, you say you are all about families. What about Bob?
nice quarterly cheque in the mail for carbon/ tax credits. Perhaps we would see a PST/GST tax increase to 14 per cent to compensate for scrapping the HST. The film industry is one example of who benefits from the HST, because of certain perks. They, and associated tourism, generate untold millions of dollars to B.C. It would be sad to see filmmakers setting up shop in Alberta if our taxes went back to the old system. It has also been shown that restaurants don’t benefit as much under the HST. So what? No such system is ever perfect. The HST can only benefit the majority, not the entirety. It is interesting to remember that the HST and transfer payments came during the Vancouver Olympics. These Olympics, remember, came and went “under budget.” I wouldn’t

How much will it cost to scrap the HST To the editor: r Time again to throw in two cents (plus tax) worth on this HST debate. Why hasn’t anyone yet put out the figures of what scrapping the HST will be? Why hasn’t Ottawa issued any comments about the B.C. referendum? I believe that scrapping the HST could push B.C. seriously into debt, and turn us from a ‘have’ province into a ‘havefnot’. The referendum alone is tagged at $30 million, according to earlier news reports. Add on TV ads, etc., and all to finally bring back the same tax? What about the transfer payments we received for accepting the HST? We are to pay that back, and how? This is billions of dollars. For starters, we should forget about that

expect any more nice gifts from Ottawa if we turn our backs on the HST. Another aspect about this anti-HST campaign—look who is leading it. None other than Mr. Vander Zalm. I think we all remember how and why the B.C. electorate tossed him out of office after the scandal with his Fantasy Gardens. Who is he to trust as a leader of anything? One more unrelated and not so serious comment. You can blame all this weird and miserable weather upon the city of Vancouver and their Canucks hockey team, who are on the edge of winning their first ever Stanley Cup. This is nothing short of absolute proof that Hell itself has finally frozen over. Bring on the rapture. Art Chaplin, Westbank

SPORTS ▼ ELEMENTARY TRACK MEET
District’s best young athletes square off at Apple Bowl Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Over 700 young track and field athletes gathered at the Apple Bowl on Wednesday as the top athletes from nearly every elementary school in the Kelowna area faced each other in competition. The meet was like a district championship, with the top finishers from each school facing each other in one of seven events: the 100 metre sprint and 800 metre race as well as long jump, shot put, triple jump, high jump and discus. The meet closed with the 4 x 100 metre relay. “The day this year was spectacular,” said organizer Enzo DeLaurentiis. “There are just some dynamic things that happen when you have high end athletes getting together. The kids are getting stronger and getting better. Some records were shattered.” A few new records were set during the day as the athletes continue to set the bar high and sur-
pass those that came before them. Hailey Wright of Ellison set two new records in Grade 4 girls events. She won the 100 metre and the long jump, establishing new records in the process. The 100 metre record also fell in the Grade 6 boys and girls category. Morgan Gonzales of Shannon Lake set the record in the boys race while Erika Enevoldson of South Rutland set the new girls mark that was previously set in 1997. The elementary track meet has been back each year for about four years now after the politically correct movement had people focus on participation rather than results and winning. That shelved the idea of matching the best athletes against each other for almost a decade. But a group of organizers brought the event back to life, allowing the district’s top athletes to compete. DeLaurentiis says it’s been a huge success. “Competition elevates

The leading point-getter is RSS’s Madison Kapchinsky whose highlight was a third place tie at Shushwap Lake Estates. Kapchinsky was an integral part of the RSS golf team that placed third in Kelowna. Kapchinsky will be counted on next year as RSS looks to capture a Zone title as they will return their entire squad. Soon-to-be KSS grad and KGC member Emily Nicol, is second amongst girls, trailing Kapchinsky by 16 points. Nicol, who will be attending the University of Victoria in September, garnered points in six of the tour’s 10 events.
Nicol also played with the boys on the KSS golf team and shot 78 at the Valley championship. KSS’s Megan Osland, 17, of KGC, played in a handful of zone events as she spent time travelling throughout Canada and the U.S. playing in other tournaments. Next year the lefty will take her game to San Jose State University, in California.
Other female golfers who play against the boys on a regular basis and who are capable of earning points are West Kelowna’s Jessica Kozak, Summerland’s Sydney Clement and Jessica Claggett, the daughter of Two Eagles head professional, Dean Claggett who had a successful junior career in the valley before turning professional.

The 2011 Zone 2 Junior Golf Tour is wrapping up in Revelstoke this weekend following an exciting series of 10 golf tournaments held at various clubs throughout the Okanagan Valley. Over 60 junior golfers aged 12 to 18, teed off at each tournament in search of points and prizes. Charlie Lewthwaite, a Kelowna Golf Club member, will win the Zone’s Order of Merit this weekend regardless of his finish. Lewthwaite, a senior at KSS, won four of the 10 tournaments and finished second in three others. The winners on this year’s tour were predominately 17 and 18 year olds. However, there are a number of up and coming 15 and 16 year olds who challenged. Kelowna Golf Club is home to several of these youngsters. Fifteen year old Lionel Taylor of RSS had a very successful season and stands third on the Order of Merit. Taylor had two second place finishes and two third place finishes and collected points in all 10 tournaments. Fifteen-year-old Brandon Ortiz is fourth overall despite missing the opening two tournaments of the year while representing B.C. in a Canada versus United States match. Left-handed 15-yearold Steven Lee followed closely in the footsteps of his club mates. Lee sits fifth in terms of points for juvenile aged golfers and was a member of the ‘A’ Provincial Championship Immaculata Mustangs. Lee needs a strong finish

Teammates Lafontaine, Johnson on U-14 Team BC Two members of the South Okanagan Under-14 boys regional basketball team have been named to Team B.C.’s Under 14 provincial basketball team. Matthew Lafontaine of Dr. Knox and Quincy Johnson of Constable Neil Bruce both made Team B.C. after a tryout for the club. Parker Simson of Spring Valley was also invited to the tryout but couldn’t make the weekend.
The three were members of the South Okanagan U-14 Boys Regional Team that was put together by coach Dino Gini in April and started practicing twice a week. The team claimed the championship at the Thompson Rivers University tournament which they won the U-14 division, defeating Kootenay, Okanagan North Regional Team, and Vanderhoof to win the tourney. In late May South
Okanagan competed at the provincial jamboree and the boys had the pressure to try and make it a three-peat as the team had claimed the title the two previous years in the U-14 division. Unfortunately it did not happen, but it wasn’t for a lack of effort. South Okanagan defeated Kootenay the first game before losing a heart breaker to Delta by six points.

Natural disasters. Peace-of-mind protection. With natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis devastating cities around the globe, it’s becoming more and more important that we understand the risks and take precautions. In B.C., its almost forest fire season - and we have seen firsthand the devastation these can cause to our belongings and homes. While it’s impossible to prevent a natural disaster, the guarantee of peaceof-mind protection should be expected from an insurance HOME company. How INSURANCE will your insurance WITH company respond LORA if disaster strikes? JOHN There are some fundamental things your insurance company should do:
Help to get you back on track. Depending on the extent of damage, you may need a team of tradespeople to help you restore your home. Though your insurance company may approve a certain amount of funds for restoration, you should still have the option to quote with a contractor of your choice. Or, if you prefer, your insurance company should provide the names of skilled professionals. The benefit of working with a local insurance company is that they will be able to give you qualified recommendations in your area.
INSURANCE OUTLOOK
Assist with the emergency. In the event of a natural disaster, you should be able to contact your insurance company any time day or night. Once coverage is confirmed, they should assist by calling in professionals to help and arrange for items like humidifiers, or tarp for your roof, to help reduce further damage. Explain coverage details. Once an adjuster has spoken to you, or viewed your loss, your insurance company should explain to you what is and isn’t covered under the policy. They should also discuss repair or replacement of your contents to help you decide how to move forward with your claim. If a natural disaster renders your home uninhabitable and coverage allows, your insurance company should also provide options for alternate accommodations until it can be restored.
Call 310-2345 or click on bcaa.com
Keep you informed. You shouldn’t be kept guessing. From beginning to end, your insurance company should keep you updated on progress and possible delays so that you have the confidence of knowing when your home will return to normal. There’s no way to predict when a natural disaster will occur, but if you understand the risks and take precautions, you can benefit from the peace-of-mind protection of your insurance company to alleviate the stress of a claim.

Hoopsters make BC teams Several Kelowna basketball players have made provincial teams and will continue sharpening their hoop skills this summer KSS sharp shooter Brooke Briscoe was named to the Team B.C. Under-16 team while Kiana Lalonde and Charlette Lewthwaite both made the U-15 red team. Lewthwaite is coming off a great season. She led the Dr. Knox Falcons to the Grade 9 girls B.C. championship and was the tournament MVP. Lalonde was an all star for KLO at the Grade 9 provincials and was the top scorer at the U-15 jamboree held this year. On the boys side Alex Hart and Malcom Hlady were named to the U-16 Provincial team.
Mercy rule invoked The Kelowna Jays bats got a great warm up for a five game road trip to the US on Wednesday night, pounding Vernon Diamondbacks 26-2 in a seven-inning mercy rule game. Every Jays player in the starting lineup had multiple hits as the air was filled with baseballs. Some of the highlights are: Brad Clarke and Cam Firth each had four RBIs while Adam Quan and Landon McMath drove in three runs apiece. Danny Stearns and Sebastian Wong had two RBIs each. The Jays used several young pitchers to get them some work prior to the weekend games. Trenton Lively threw two scoreless innings, Brandon Klyn gave up one run over two innings, Blake Young was perfect for two and then Jake Chapman tossed the 7th. The Jays are in for a tough weekend playing Everett Merchants, Bellevue Northwest Honkers, Tumwater Brewers and Lacey Athletics over the two day weekend near Seattle. The Jays next home game is Wednesday June 15 at 7:30 p.m., Elks Stadium, against Kamloops Sun Devils.

Sandy Moger played hockey for the Canucks— in Hamilton. He saw regular duty in 132 games with the Boston Bruins. And while he’s grateful to both organizations, he’s really not taking sides in the Stanley Cup finals. It’s a win-win situation for the power forward. However, he did show a touch more loyalty to the Bruins at his Okanagan 2002 All-Stars practise recently in Kelowna. “My assistant coach Byron Dafoe (former Boston goalie) and I were traded for one another and we wore our Bruins jerseys on the ice the other day and the kids all booed us,� laughed Moger, from Abbosford, where his son Cameron is playing for the ’02 All-Stars. Moger, now director of hockey operations for Vernon minor hockey, captained the Lake Superior State Lakers to the NCAA title in 1992. He was taken, by Vancouver, in round nine of the 1989 NHL lottery. Moger, Donald Audette and Michel
Picard are the only players from the ninth-round class to play more than 150 NHL tilts. The same year, Mats Sundin was chosen first overall by the Quebec Nordiques. Vancouver took Jason Herter of the North Dakota Fighting Sioux eighth overall. Herter played one NHL game. “I had a pretty good training camp with the Canucks (‘92) but it was between me and Dixon Ward and I got cut the second-last day before the regular season and sent to Hamilton (where he pocketed 23 goals and 49 points). It was tough. “I’m mutual (on the finals). Vancouver signed me and gave me a chance and Boston signed me and gave me another chance.� Moger finished his NHL career with 41 snipes and 79 points in 236 games with Boston and the Los Angeles Kings. He played alongside Ray Bourque, Adam Oates and Cam Neely in Boston and had Luc Robi-

They always worked so hard and they were down-to-earth, they didn’t act like they were better than anybody else. They were the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Playing in Boston was a great experience. It was awesome.� Kelowna’s Robert Dirk, a midget coach at the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton, is a former Canuck definitely cheering for Vancouver. “I’m pulling for them,� said Dirk, who watched Game 1 at home with his son, Jagger, who played defence for the WHL winning Kootenay Ice in this spring’s Memorial Cup. “I want to see the organization win their first Stanley Cup. “My best years in the NHL were with Vancouver,� Moger said. “Pat (Quinn), being the GM and coach, drafted and traded for a bunch of castoffs who kind of came together.�

It was still anyone’s championship to win as the top four teams were either tied or a point apart. The final race would decide the outcome of the regatta. A perfect start and flawless race was needed by the local team, and it just didn’t happen. The local Quebec team took first place, second and third went to Ontario teams, and B.C.’s Rock This J finished in fourth place. James Anderson of the Kelowna Yacht Club (KYC) sent the following email to local sailors: “After an aggressive overearly start on the final race, Team Kelowna narrowly missed the podium on the final day of the Women’s National Keelboat Championship‌Only a couple of points separated the top four entries in the championship. Well done Team Kelowna, you have done us proud.â€? Since placing second in the national championships which were held at the Kelowna Yacht Club in 2007, Rock This J has been training in the Santana 525 fleet at KYC in the Monday night ladies race series, the Wednesday night open series, as well as many local and international regattas. The team commented that the quality of local competition in both women’s and open sailboat racing in Kelowna helped strengthen their skills and prepare them for the Quebec event.

Recognize injury and seek help
Y
ou’re playing tennis with your friend and as you jump up to serve the ball you feel a popping sensation in your calf followed by sharp pain. When you go to walk you notice you can’t even get your heel off the ground. What you might have suffered is a traumatic and debilitating injury known as an Achilles tendon rupture. Fortunately this injury doesn’t happen all that much but when it does it is important to recognize its signs and symptoms and seek appropriate help. An Achilles tendon rupture is when the tendon fibres tear, causing pain and loss of function. This usually occurs as a result of a sudden, quick movement where there is a forceful stretch of the tendon or a contraction of the muscles eg: jumping, sprinting, or pushing off to serve in tennis. This occurs most often in sports that require a lot of stopping and starting such as tennis, basketball, racquetball and squash. If a complete rupture of the Achilles has occurred it may not be possible to push up onto your toes. If an Achilles tendon rupture is suspected, it is important to consult a health care professional straight away for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment recommended, including possible referral to an orthopaedic surgeon. Until you are assessed it is important to let the foot hang down with the toes pointed to the ground. This prevents the ends of the ruptured tendon pulling any farther apart. Treatment aims to facilitate the torn ends of the tendon healing back together again. Treatment may be non-surgical or surgical. Factors such as the site and extent of the rupture and the time since the rupture occurred will be considered. Non-surgical treat-
KEEPING YOU MOVING
Jay Stone ment usually entails immobilizing the ankle in a cast or a special hinged splint (robo boot) with the foot in a toes pointed position. The cast or splint may stay in place for six to eight weeks. The foot position in the robo boot will often be changed during this time to promote healing. In some cases it may be determined that surgery is the best option. The tendon ends are located and joined together with strong sutures (stitches), allowing the tendon to closely approximate its previous length. The foot is immobilized in a cast or splint, again in the toes pointed position and changed over time to promote healing. After removal of the cast an individual rehabilitation plan, involving physiotherapy and specific exercises, will be commenced. The aim of rehabilitation is to restore the strength of the Achilles tendon and calf muscles and the range of motion of the ankle. It may be recommended that flat shoes are avoided and/or a heel raise is used in footwear. This helps to reduce the load put onto the Achilles tendon. Physiotherapy may need to be continued for several weeks or months during which time activity is gradually increased. It may be six months to a year before the Achilles tendon is back to near full strength. During this time it is very important to follow the instructions of the specialist and physiotherapist to prevent further injury.

Reaching out to senior customers
E
veryone has heard time and again about the aging population and that methods of doing things will have to change to facilitate their needs. However, until you are actually involved with caring for an older senior, you don’t truly understand what that means. Forward thinking companies have asked me to train employees on how to provide better service for their senior customers. Most companies are respectful towards seniors but don’t realize the difficulties that seniors have while buying the company’s products or services. Companies need to know that by making simple changes it can make tremendous differences to their senior customers, which will ultimately help
SENIORS’ CONCERNS
Sharen Marteny the bottom line. My specialty is working with what I call “elderly seniors” who are 80 or older. People who are between the ages of 70 years to 80 years I think of as “junior seniors.” When a company becomes “senior friendly,” it is not just the elderly seniors, but also those junior seniors, who will become customers. Seniors pay attention to the recommendations of their peers as to where to spend their money. It is not the intent of companies to ignore the
needs of seniors. It is usually the case of not yet realizing that better service can be provided. Companies also do not know what those improvements are or where to look for recommendations and solutions. When employees are not properly trained to service senior customers, then it is awkward for the employees who want to treat seniors with dignity and respect but do not know how. Companies need to train employee now to maintain their senior customer base and increase it by being pro-active to the changing needs. The needs of seniors with hearing and vision impairments, arthritis and a multitude of age related ailments must be taken into account.

Seniors can feel the cold more and therefore, in a restaurant should not be seated close to an air conditioner. Background music can be frustrating for a senior with hearing aids. Signs on public washroom doors can be confusing. If there was a female or male figure along with ‘women’ or ‘men’ posted on the doors, this would help the seniors know that they are using the proper washroom and prevent an embarrassing moment. These are examples of the type of changes needed. Another example is a soup company that designed a holder for its cans of soup which displays a picture of the type and in large print states the name of the soup. The holder allows the senior to quickly find the soup and easily remove the can from the display, instead of trying to read all of the cans on the shelf. Seniors do not know to ask for these improved services. If companies invest in training its employees to properly provide products and services, the seniors will have a better experience and tell their friends. The most important thing is that all seniors are treated with dignity and respect and given as much independence as possible.

Mouse needs a lifestyle where he can be the only pet in the household, as can become stressed quite quickly. He is very unsure of himself when around other cats, and seeks attention and solace from people. Mouse would make a great companion as he loves to be fussed over and would bond very well. His new home should be with older children or adults only. He is a very loving cat who just wants to settle in a stable home.
Poor Treat was a little scared when we first found her, but she has come along nicely. She gets along with other cats & adores affection. We feel she would make a nice addition to any home as she is still a young, bondable cat. Treat would suit any type of lifestyle as she seems to be laid back and energetic. If you would like to give her a ‘forever home’ please come down and ask for an introduction.

LA MASIA de la Boqueria in Barcelona, Spain, has been serving deli meats and cheeses since the mid-1990s. The company web site says: “We attach great importance to pleasure, and the emotional experience of all those who are particularly fond of sausages.”

CONTRIBUTOR
BARCELONA, Spain—Into the madding crowd I plunged, stalking the dreadlocked hippies in search of cod fritters; shadowing the glamorous Italian tourists decorating the cafes like Fellini characters; spying on the sly, wizened Catalan revolutionaries huddled over bottles of Rioja. Here I was at La Boqueria, the oldest and largest public market in all of Europe, the heart and soul of Barcelona, at first a locale where peasants sold their produce outside the city gates but then expanded into an ancient and glorious supermarket when the city’s medieval walls fell in the early 1800s. I had come at the prodding of friends: You love food, so to La Boqueria you must go. I had spent the better part of my adult years traveling in search of caloric epiphanies, those unexpected foodie moments—the bowl of udon

on St. Germain Boulevard in Paris. Yet none of those signature moments had prepared me for La Boqueria. If you visit La Boqueria, plan on spending three or four hours immersed in the cacophony of fruits, vegetables, wild mushrooms, cured ham, sausages, shellfish, chili peppers, gelato and random Brazilian canned goods, because in Barcelona, time slows down and everyone lingers. No express lanes here. After all, it’s a city of art, design and gastronomy, not to mention sin and sensuality. A friend had recommended the grilled razor clams at the tapas bar named Pinotxo (Catalan for Pinocchio), and indeed I felt like a wooden puppet, standing behind the customers seated at the small counter. I was waiting for someone, anyone, to vacate his or her chair. Then I began to feel like a creep, and I imagined a young lady pointing her finger at me and

TRAVEL Spain from A22 saying in Catalan: Mother, that man is eyeing my squid in a way that’s giving me discomfort. So I moved on to other tentacles. In the seafood section, located in the center of the market, I found some tiny squid on a bed of ice, staring back at me with Homer Simpson eyes. Approaching the butcher shops, I found fresh goat heads— “Boqueria,” in my mind, roughly translates to “place where goats are decapitated.” I found a place selling a whole piglet that, if it hadn’t already left this world, could have been dreaming peacefully of better days. (“Oh bother,” said Pooh.) I could tell that many of the stalls were dead serious about their food. Take La Masia de la Boqueria, which has been serving deli meats and cheeses since the mid1990s. I later discovered this proclamation on the company’s website: “We attach great importance to pleasure, and the emotional experience of all those who are particularly fond of sausages.” As my senses were being onslaught-ed, I quelled the urge to flee down La Rambla (the famous central strolling avenue) and, evading the hustlers and pickpockets, jump into the Mediterranean Sea. But I calmed myself and thought of what my editor told me: Tom, you must wander La Boqueria and, like a pig that’s about to become a slab of jamon iberico, find the gemlike acorns in the forest. Well, no, she didn’t exactly say that, but she did say to graze through the market and come up
IF YOU GO:
Where To Stay: I booked the Hotel Cram (Aribau 54, www.hotelcram.com), a boutique hotel in the L’Eixample neighborhood. Service was friendly and helpful, and the hotel has a fabulous (though pricey) restaurant, Can Gaig (Arago 214, www.restaurantgaig.com). I liked being away from the crowds on La Rambla, Barcelona’s main strolling boulevard. At the same time, Cram was an easy 15-minute walk to La Boqueria and other sights in the heart of Barcelona. Where To Eat:

VISITORS can experience La Boqueria by becoming friends with the fish, squid and shrimp, even if some of them have eyes reminiscent of Homer Simpson. with a nice, inexpensive picnic. And so that’s what I did. I bought a bocata, also known as a bocadillo, a sandwich made of baguette-style bread, cured ham and Manchego cheese, from a stall named Pa Calent-Bolleria. I washed down the
bocata’s salty earthiness (or earthy saltiness) by munching on a Valencia orange from the Hernando fruit stand. I wandered by Graus Olives i Conserves and bought a small bag of primavera olives with pearl onions and cornichons.
I made myself a dessert of fresh cherries and apricots from the Sprim fruit stand. My final bill came to 5 euros, or about $7. My lunch at La Boqueria, eaten while walking down the aisles and browsing from stall to stall, reminded me of what
Joan Miro, one of Spain’s greatest artists, once said: “For me, to gain freedom is to gain simplicity.” My meal was nothing fancy or elaborate, but it was beautiful in its simplicity. Its fresh, intense flavors helped me find a clear path through the chaos.

like more hassle than they’re worth, but dental x-rays are an essential part of your dental care. But there is also technology available now and coming on the horizon to help improve your dentist’s diagnostic capabilities. Dental x-rays are an invaluable diagnostic tool for dental practitioners because they allow us to see inside and under the tooth, gums and bone. Those x-rays reveal things we could never see with just a visual examination. For example, while we can detect some cavity types simply by looking into a patient’s mouth, we cannot detect all types of tooth decay. A necrotic tooth (a tooth in which the nerve has died) is sometimes not detectable through an examination. Although some dead teeth actually change colour, others do not. And because the tooth has died, it no longer causes discomfort to the patient. For this reason, it’s not uncommon for necrotic teeth to go undetected. A dead tooth requires a root canal if the tooth is to be saved.
ORAL HEALTH
Sharnell Muir If left untreated, a dead tooth will become brittle and susceptible to breakage. In most cases, where a visual examination may not have shown evidence of a necrotic tooth, an xray will almost always reveal it. Dental x-rays don’t just show us what’s going on inside the tooth, they also show us what’s occurring at the bone level. We routinely screen for oral cancer, both through clinical examina-

tion and x-rays. Oral cancer has one of the highest death rates of all types of cancer, so early detection is important. While many oral cancers are visible to the naked eye, others occur deep within the tissue and can quickly grow into the bone. Identifying oral cancer early allows for the greatest chance of successful treatment and recovery. Beyond oral cancer, many problems can occur within the bones of the mouth. Systemic problems— those that affect the entire body—many times appear in the mouth first. In general, the mouth is a good indicator of what’s going on in the body, which is why physicians for generations have asked patients to open their mouths and stick their tongues out as part of every examination. X-rays are an essential part of a child’s dental care as well. For young children who’ve not yet lost their baby teeth, xrays can show the dentist the positions of the permanent teeth—whether they’re oriented properly

▼ LOU GEHRIG’S DISEASE
ALS walk set for June 18 at Waterfront Park N ot sure exactly what happened but somewhere between my cyber space and the Capital News, the date for an event got screwed up. The eighth annual Okanagan Walk for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) will take place next Saturday, June 18, (not this Saturday) starting at Rhapsody Plaza in Kelowna’s Waterfront Park. It appears that I made a typo and typed in June 8 then someone in the edit room thought I meant June 11—but in fact this very important fundraiser is set for June 18. The rest of the details are as follows and (hopefully) are accurate. ALS is a rapidly progressive neuromuscular affliction that causes a patient’s brain to lose the ability to send messages to the muscles. Eventually, those with ALS lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, and ultimately, breathe on their own although their cognitive abilities remain fully intact. Registration starts at 9 a.m. with the walk at 10 am. For more information call Gerry McNeill, walk coordinator, at 250-764-0120 or 250-870-1638. *** I’ve met some interesting people the last few months on Friday afternoons and would love to meet you if you are so inclined. Every Friday for the past year and a half, I have sat at the Grateful Fed Restaurant/Pub between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. to openly meet with residents and discuss city issues. Most of the time Fed owner Kamel Abougoush gives me a worse time than anyone else—but it’s okay because his staff are nice and the soup is to die for.

some long lost friends, including my childhood friend Dan Thiessen. He hasn’t shown up the past few weeks though Charlie and I am not sure if it’s beHodge cause he has learned that I have nine yards of dirt I am moving by shovel in my driveway or if it’s because his beloved Habs are toast in the playoffs while my two favourite clubs, Vancouver and Boston, are doing the final dance. With summer on the doorstep, I am looking forward to seeing who else shows up for Friday afternoon chats. If you want to yell and scream at someone, come on down. I’m kind of getting use to it. (More than two dozen years in journalism prepares you for just about anything in life). *** Speaking of hockey nuts, I am looking forward to July 1 with some mixed feelings. Habitually, I have attended the local Canada Day celebrations and thoroughly enjoyed the day. But this year, we are off to Vancouver Island for a real special celebration. My dear friend Howie Meeker was recently named a recipient of the Order of Canada and will be celebrating that honour at his house on Canada Day. I’m looking forward to seeing my pal and his lovely wife Leah, along with my many Vancouver Island friends in the Parksville and Qualicum Beach area. Unfortunately, it means my dog Teddybear and the menagerie of cats will have to celebrate Canada Day with Yves, my house sitter, instead of Tez and I.

▼ DENTAL CARE
X-rays offers insight into the need for orthodontic treatment Muir from A24 and whether there will be enough room for them to erupt normally. X-rays can give us a good indication of whether orthodontic treatment will be necessary later in life, and can offer us an opportunity to act early to avoid future problems. Although x-rays are effective diagnostic tools, some dental practices, particularly those that handle a large number of dental implant cases, are using more advanced im-
aging techniques to ensure an even higher degree of accuracy. Dental CT scans can be extremely helpful in determining the correct placement for dental implants. Until recently, dentists had to send implant patients to the hospital for these scans. Now, however, some dental practitioners can perform these scans in their own offices. The ability to do in-office CT scans represents a huge technological leap
for dentistry and will significantly improve our abilities to diagnose all kinds of dental problems. Although not available everywhere yet, inoffice dental CT scans are becoming more and more common.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen winey lunches If your favourite Dad enjoys wine tasting or pairing wine and food, John Schreiner’s latest book, B.C. Coastal Wine Tour Guide, might be an inspired gift for him. Next weekend is Father’s Day, and a book would make an excellent choice of gift, whether it’s Jude’s Kitchen or one of John’s many books on wine. He has also recently updated his Okanagan Wine Tour Guide and The Wineries of British Columbia as well. However, this is his first foray into a guide to touring the newer wineries of the Fraser Valley, Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Who knew there were so many wineries on B.C.’s Lower Mainland? John has included 70 in this new book, complete with thumbnail sketches of each, insider profiles of each winery and its winemakers; interesting tidbits from interviews with the winemakers and owners, recommendations of wines to take home, plus the addresses, phone numbers and website addresses of each winery. Whether you actually end up doing a tour of any of these areas, Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island South, Southern Gulf Islands, Vancouver Island North or Vancouver, this book is an intriguing look at another branch of the province’s burgeoning wine industry. Most of these are small wineries, many with production levels that makes it unnecessary for them to sell wines anywhere but from the cellar door, but John says some of them make excellent wines, and he should know. This book could trigger a fantastic holiday trip touring some of these wine areas, sipping and enjoying the new countryside and its foods as well as its wines. Happy Dad’s Day! Incidentally, congratulations to Chef Rod Butters of RauDZ Regional Table on getting the Okanagan farm to table message across in the summer issue of the sophisticated lifestyle magazine NUVO. This will be the last Sunday issue of the Capital News and this column. Watch for it in our new Tuesday edition, June 21.
John's Favourite Wine-touring Lunch I asked John to share a favourite recipe with us, and he responded, “When I am in the midst of wine touring, I prefer a simple lunch. Merridale Ciderworks near Shawnigan Lake has a good ploughman's lunch.” It's also a lovely, light meal to take camping or on a picnic, because it's flexible, rustic, and it goes well with a cold beer or a glass of pinot grigio or pinot noir. local cheeses Fuji apple house chutney brick oven bread organic greens salad
A sharp cheddar cheese is typically served as part of a Ploughman’s Lunch, and there are some cheesemakers on Vancouver Island who offer award-winning local brie, which is lovely. A spoonful of chutney is typically served as part of the Ploughman’s, along with a hearth bread or rustic, crusty local bread. Fruit such a fresh grapes, apples or pears are often part of the platter, which is frequently a board. Included here is a recipe for a favourite chutney of ours, Pear & Ginger Chutney. This is also one of the recipes you’ll find in my new book, Jude’s Kitchen, available wherever good books are sold.
JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
Jude's Pear & Ginger Chutney This makes a delicious condiment to serve with curries, roasted meats, or as part of your ploughman’s lunch, with a slab of fresh bread and a hearty cheddar. 4 c. (1 l) pears 1 small onion 1/4 c. (60 ml) preserved ginger 1 c. (250 ml) raisins 1/2 c. (125 ml) vinegar 1/4 c. (60 ml) lemon juice 2 tsp. (10 ml) salt 1 tsp. (5 ml) allspice 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) cinnamon 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) cloves 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) ground ginger 3/4 c. (175 ml) dark brown sugar 1 57-g box Certo powdered pectin 4 1/2 c. (1.125 ml) sugar
Prepare the pears by peeling and coring about three pounds. Cut them up into small pieces. You should have four cups of fruit. Chop onion. Drain and sliver pieces of ginger. Dump it all into a very large pot and add the remaining ingredients except sugar and pectin. Stir well over high heat until the mixture comes to a hard boil. Stir in sugars and pectin, and bring back to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly at that hard boil for five minutes. Remove from heat and skim off any foam with a metal spoon. Stir for 10 minutes to cool slightly and to prevent floating fruit in the finished chutney. Ladle quickly into sterilized jars and cover with a layer of hot paraffin wax about an eighth inch thick. Makes 4-5 half-pint jars.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt
*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh
*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well

On Sunday, May 8th, Mother’s day, I held my mother’s hand as she took her final breath. Born to Gus and Edna Adolf July 2nd, 1954, Karin Lynn Pakenham, wife of Jim Pakenham, had spent the past four months fighting for her life after a day surgery that had gone terribly wrong. Her gifts to us during those four months as we sat by her bedside, were her unbelievable sense of humour that made us laugh in the face of adversity, her ability to astound us with her quick witted sarcasm and her courage to die when she knew we, as a family, couldn’t watch her suffer anymore. My mother’s precious spirit was taken from us far too soon. For our family, friends and those who were touched by mom’s infectious laugh and cute smile, please join us at the Sorrento Centre in Sorrento, BC on Saturday, June 18th at 1:00 pm for a celebration of her life.
“I love you, Mom. You will never be forgotten.” Those needing information, please call Natasha at 647-282-7713 or Darlene at 250-765-2796.
Remember to keep BOTH hands on the steeringg wheel! Love
FOX, SHEILA MAY (NEE KERR)

Sheila Fox passed away on June 9, 2011. She was predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Lewis Fox in 2003. Sheila is survived by her three sons: Bruce, and his children Cameron and Haley, of Vancouver; Brad (Susan) and their children Graham and Hilary of Calgary; Blair (Karen) and their children Jeffrey and Michael of Kelowna; her brothers Ralph (Doreen) Kerr and Robin Kerr, both of Vancouver. Sheila was born in Vancouver on September 6, 1932. She enjoyed many things and places in her life such as swimming in the ocean off Bowen Island, and her time spent in Hawaii. She was dancing her entire life: highland dancing in her youth, ballroom dancing with Lew, and Hawaiian dancing with the Spirit of the Islands group. She was a long time volunteer with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Sheila’s dog Keiki held a special place in her heart, and will miss Sheila. The Fox family would like to express a special thank you to the staff and volunteers of the Hospice House for special care and consideration. A celebration will be held at First Memorial Funeral Services, 1211 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC at 11:00 AM, Saturday, June 18, 2011. In lieu of flowers, donation in Sheila’s name can be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice House, #104-1456 St. Paul Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2E6.

SHOWCASE W ANTEBELLUM HOMES IN U.S.
Civil War era design adapted to modern lifestyles Stacy Downs CONTRIBUTOR
It’s easy to drive by an antebellum house and not realize it is one. Frankly, the exterior of the Kunce residence in Weston, Mo., looks more like a substantial 1950s ranch than Tara, the plantation in “Gone With the Wind.” Surviving antebellum structures vary as much as Scarlett O’Hara’s suitors. They’re brick and wood frame. Greek Revival and Italianate. Columned and plain. Two-story and single-level. Log house and mansion. “Antebellum” doesn’t even show up in the index of “A Field Guide to American Houses,” the bible for architectural historians. That’s because the term refers to a time, not a style. The Latin word means “before war.” American antebellum houses were built in the 30 years before the Civil War divided the country in battle. Despite their association with Southerners, antebellum houses belonged to those with Confederate or Union sympathies. Towns east and north of Kansas City promote their prized collections of minuscule to majestic 1830s-through-1860s structures. The Kunces’ brick house is a mediumsize dwelling. Jim Kunce opens the front door of his antebellum home. Despite the tan, modern tile flooring in the foyer, my first peek at the interior takes me back in time 164 years. A long church sanc-
AN antebellum home, such as this one in Weston, Mo., (top photo) boasts 90 antebellum structures. “Antebellum” simply means before the U.S. Civil War. These homes, even the modest ones, were built with formal guest entertaining in mind—a library for the men to gather, a formal parlor for the women and a formal dining room. Jim Kunce (lower photo) sits on his front porch of his antebellum home, one of 90 that exist in Weston. CONTRIBUTED
tuary-like central hall greets me. Immediately to the left, there’s a gentlemen’s library. To the right, a ladies’ parlour. The one commonality antebellum homes share is their formality, intended to impress guests. “Welcome,” says Jim, whose wife, LeAnn, and 12-year-old daughter, Ashley, walk up to meet me later. “We’re pretty proud of this place. At least LeAnn and I are.” Jim and LeAnn share the belief that if you have an antebellum house, you should occasionally open its doors to the public. “Definitely with five years in between,” says LeAnn, who is chief information officer for a global aviation repair
company. “It’s a lot of work to have your house on tour.” Their house has twice been on Weston’s annual holiday tour. Deep cleaning the house from top to bottom was just the beginning. The family of three dressed up in period costumes—the ladies in hoop skirts. All in December, a busy month anyway. An outburst from one of the tourists walking through the center aisle of their house has stuck with Jim. “This house has modern lighting,” he remembers the woman saying angrily. “Where are the period pieces we see at other homes?” Jim and LeAnn took the comment in
stride. Yes, their 1847built house has been “remuddled”—as oldhouse enthusiasts enjoy saying—with updated plumbing, carpeting and other newfangled conveniences. But the bones of the house remain, including 10-foot ceilings. And so does some of its original skin, such as the Federal-style trim above the tall windows. “Our home, like other antebellum houses, is a living house,” says Jim, assistant director of Platte County Parks and Recreation. “It’s endured hard times but grows like the people living inside. A family lives here, and it is not a hobby home or a
museum house. It’s our living house.” The focal point of the Kunces’ library is a wooden fireplace carved with sailing ships. Perhaps it represents original owner Joseph Kurtz’s immigration journey from Germany to the United States. Kurtz owned a company that made brewery barrels. That brewery was once housed in the building now known as O’Malley’s 1842 Irish Pub in Weston. An enthusiastic Yorkie, named Victoria for Kurtz’s wife, trails Jim.

THE OKANAGAN MAINLINE Real Estate Board recently made donations of
$3,000 each to two local social service organizations in Kelowna. OMREB presented a cheque to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association (left photo), represented by Susan Steen (centre), executive director of the hospice association, and to the Kelowna Women’s Shelter (top photo), represented by Kathleen Lemieux (centre), coordinator of awareness, events and volunteers for the women’s shelter. The OMREB committee members (from left) on hand for the presentations were Barret Watson, Greg Dusik, Cathy Cherka, Nancy MacKellar, Mike Craddock Brad Bredin, Deborah Moore, Jesse East, Sheryl Lobsinger, Kevin Philippot and Rhonda Rohatynchuk.

philosophy in mind, will Ashley want an antebellum house when she’s older? “Probably not,” she says and smiles. “History won’t be forgotten, and I don’t think these houses will be either,” Jim says. “I feel so lucky to be in a living house.”

mium will have an additional 2.95 per cent charge to the mortgage. Should you have at least 20 per cent cash down, the mortgage lender will generally request an appraisal of the property be done, at your expense, which is usually abut $300. There will be home insurance issues to deal with and pay for, along with hook-up costs for electricity, phone, water, heating and cable/Internet. You should also set up a monthly account for your property taxes. That can be done at a financial institution or deposited directly with the municipality or regional district. It is also very important to ask as many questions as possible as this is probably the largest purchase of your life to date. As we always say: “There is no such thing as a silly question when it comes to mortgage financing.” Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals: Darwyn Sloat (250-718-4117)and Trish Balaberde (250-470-8324).

from your own resources, gifted from a family member or, in some cases, borrowed. Remember that all debt, such as credit cards, car loans and the like are taken into consideration for calculating your mortgage debt servicing capability long with your income. If you have your financial affairs in order and know what you can qualify to buy, it’s always best to not aim too high for your first home— better to get your foot in the door and build up equity rather than overextend yourself. As for the costs in completing the purchase of a home, keep these expenses in mind. Should you have less than 20 per cent down payment, there will be a “high ratio” premium with either Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation or Genworth Financial added to the mortgage. That fee is based on the “loan to value” of the mortgage. For example, should you have five per cent cash down on a $200,000 purchase price, and you amortize the mortgage over 30 years, the pre-

Your first home purchase can be an overbearing experience. Part of that stress is generated from seeking out and deciding on the best mortgage option, and dealing with the expenses of buying a home. As we’ve stated in previous Of Prime Interest articles, a mortgage broker can help negotiate through the mortgage options at no cost to you. That assistance will include dealing with income verification, credit scores and what size of a down payment will be needed. If you are employed by a company, it is standard practice to have a “letter of employment” on company letterhead explaining length of time on the job, position within the company, salary and probability of employment. Along with that, you’ll be required to provide your most recent pay stub. Credit scores are very important and will be assessed by a mortgage broker to establish past and current credit. The down payment can come

Bullock moving into $22m estate Lauren Beale CONTRIBUTOR
Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock has bought a Beverly Hills-area estate for $22.95 million, the Multiple Listing Service shows. Set on more than four park-like acres, the stately two-story house looks more East Coast than Westside. The main house, built in 1940, has a screening room, a library, a basement, five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Late last year, Hard Rock Cafe co-founder Peter Morton sold the property for $15.5 million, according to public records, meaning that Bullock paid 48 per cent more than the current owner did.
GUESS WHO’S SELLING HIS HOME?
Armand Marciano, a Guess co-founder and executive, has put his Beverly Hills Post Office-area estate up for sale at $63 million. Set on close to 20
acres, the Mediterraneanstyle mansion has 30,000 square feet of space in three stories including an elevator, eight fireplaces, seven bedrooms and 18 bathrooms. The staff quarters have three more bedrooms. The garage can park 17 cars. The grounds feature a mosaic-tiled swimming pool, a pool house, an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, a tennis court and pavilion, orchards and fountains. Marciano co-created the Guess brand of jeans with his brothers in the early 1980s. Its extended line of apparel is sold worldwide.
HACIENDA ON THE MARKET
The long-time Beverly Hills home of actor Gene Barry has come on the market at $5,995,000. The Spanish-style hacienda, built in 1927, retains the original painted beams in the living room. Nearly 7,000 square feet of living space includes seven bedrooms, five bathrooms and maid’s quarters with a bathroom
in the main house and a one-bedroom, one-bathroom guesthouse. The main house, on more than one-third of an acre, opens up to a swimming pool. Barry, who died at 90 in 2009, was known to television audiences for his role as Bat Masterson in the western series “Legendary Lawman” (1958-61) and the title role in “Burke’s Law” (1963-66). He starred in the 1953 film “The War of the Worlds” and appeared in the 2005 remake.
NOTHING MEDIUM ABOUT THIS PLACE
Producer Glenn Gordon Caron and his wife, actress Tina Caron, have sold their Pacific Palisades residence for $5.69 million. The gated estate, built in 2002, is in the Palisades Riviera neighborhood. Surrounded by Italian-inspired gardens, the Mediterranean house opens to a courtyard with a fireplace, bar and grill. The master bedroom suite has an ocean-
view balcony, an outdoor lounge and dual bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers. The 5,840-square-foot house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, plus a chilled wine room, a home theater and a rooftop observatory. Glenn Caron created, wrote and produced “Medium” (2005-11). In the 1980s he created and produced the hit romantic comedy “Moonlighting,” starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. The Carons bought the house in 2005 for $4.75 million, according to public records.
SAY GOOD-BYE
Actor Jason Statham has listed his contemporary house in the Hollywood Hills for sale at $2,749,000. The post-andbeam house has floor-toceiling glass walls at the back that open to a pool area. The 1957 house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Statham bought the property in 2005 for $2.4 million.

Many people grumble about the transit system in West Kelowna, but only a few, it appears, are willing to find out about proposed changes and express an opinion. Only 25 people—at least 10 whom represented either the district or B.C. Transit—showed up to hear about the changes currently being contemplated by West Kelowna council and B.C. Transit for local bus service.
The open house, which was delayed a week so as not to be held on the night of the first Vancouver Canucks-Boston Bruins Stanley Cup playoff game, sought public input into transit as it now stands and to the three options for change being considered. All three options would reduce existing level of service for several areas. The routes affected See Bus B3

Input sought for three significant municipal plans rently has 14 major plans in various stages of completion on the go, a task Henderson admits is “ambitious.” But she said as a fairly new municipality, each of the plans is important for community development. Usually a municipality the size of West Kelowna would likely have three of four underway in a given year, spread out over several departments. This week, with the in-depth information that will be on display for all three plans, they will be able to talk and ask questions of district staff and consultants who worked on the planning efforts as well. People will also be asked to fill out questionnaires, either at the Royal LePage Place or at home on the Internet,

In a bid to make the event as community friendly as possible, the district will have a barbecue going on outside Royal LePage Place, as well as colouring tables for kids and live music. Inside it will be more businesslike. “We are hoping people will hang around afterwards and talk with their neighbours,” said Henderson. The open house is scheduled to run from 3 to 7 p.m. The three plans will be used to help shape the short, medium and long-term goals of the district for three of the biggest issues in the municipality, the future of its town centre, one of its biggest attractions and one of its biggest industries.

to give further input. Responses to the questionnaire will help staff with the agricultural and the Westbank Centre plans, both of which are in the final draft stages before being presented to council. This meeting will be the final public consultation for both, following extensive consultation in the past. The Westbank plan included a charter, an interactive design process, and intensive workshops that involved stakeholder consultation as part of its development. “But the more feedback, the better,” said Henderson. The waterfront plan is still in early stages so public input can still have an impact, she added.

It’s a first for West Kelowna and its residents. Locals will get a chance to review, ask questions about and give their input on three major municipal plans all at one time and in one venue. The district will present drafts June 16 of its Westbank Centre Revitalization Plan, its Waterfront Plan and its Agriculture Plan at Royal LePage Place. According to West Kelowna planning director Nancy Henderson, the event is the first time the municipality has presented three major community initiatives at the same public meeting,
but it is hoped there will be strength in numbers. Henderson said staff hope that people who may come out to a meeting for one of the plans will also familiarize themselves with the others and give their opinions about those plans as well. That will not only help staff as they prepare to take the plans back to council for approval, she said, but also the input gathered will help their community as well. “It’s a little unusual to be doing this but we realize we have had a lot of plans out there for the public of late and we wanted to try to save some time,” said Henderson.

Municipality offers alternatives for paying property taxes
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
JOE IABONI, a tax clerk for the District of West
Kelowna, illustrates how to use the tax form drop box outside of municipal hall. The public is advised not to deposit cash into the box.
With the possibility of a rotating postal strike affecting the Central Okanagan, West Kelowna is advising residents and anyone doing business with the municipality to use online services to avoid unexpected delays. The union representing postal workers in Canada started rotating strike action June 3 and for the first time an Okanagan city, Vernon, was hit on Thursday. There has been talk of a nation-wide strike but as of this weekend that had not been announced. To try and avoid getting caught by the strike, West Kelowna sent out its annual property tax notices a week earlier than normal late last month and is now warning property owners their payments could get caught up in the strike if they use the mail service.
To avoid that, property owners are being advised that they can pay their annual property taxes and claim the annual home owner grant online. Home owner grant applications and property tax payments are due July 7. Late payments, and amounts owing due to unclaimed home owner grants, will be subject to a 10 per cent penalty. Postmarks are not accepted as proof of payment. Residents are being strongly encouraged to claim their grants online by going to the municipality’s webpage at www.districtofwestkelowna.ca. From there, click the home owner grant button and then the HOG application button. Enter the eight-digit roll number ( there is no need to enter the first three digits: 364) and the five-digit access code. Both numbers can be can be found at the
top right of 2011 tax notices. Property owners can also fax in grant applications to 778-7978851 or e-mail them to taxes@ districtofwestkelowna.ca. Payment of property taxes and utility bills can also be made online through most financial institutions. Go to the financial institution’s website and search for the payee West Kelowna. For property taxes, select West Kelowna—Taxes as the bill payee. The account number is the same as the 11-digit roll number (do not include hyphens or spaces). For utility bills, select West Kelowna—Utilities as the bill payee and use the account number (no hyphens or spaces) from the top left of the bill. Property taxes and utility bills may also be paid in person through financial institutions as well as the munici-
pal offices at Mount Boucherie. There is also an outside drop box beside the main entrance of the District of West Kelowna municipal Hall at 2760 Cameron Road. District officials say cash should not be placed in the dropbox. Cash payments can be made in person at the municipal offices between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. The municipality does not accept credit cards but does accept cash, cheques, post-dated cheques, money orders and debit card payments. Property owners who have already mailed in their home owner grant applications, payments, tax deferment applications or renewal forms are asked to call the West Kelowna taxation department at 778-797-8860 to ensure they have been received.
▼ TRANSIT
Bus service changes don’t draw a crowd Bus from B1 would be those serving the Bear Creek, Horizon, Rose Valley and Smith Creek areas and possiblbly the East Boundary route. Transit planners say combined, the routes affected account for only five per cent of local ridership. The East Boundary route would be kept in two of the three options. B.C. Transit is proposing the routes be cut to “rationalize” service and help pay for expansion of the new Bus Rapid Transit line into West Kelowna from Kelowna along Highway 97. The BRT route would end in Westbank. Under all three options, the popular Glenrosa route, as well as those serving Shannon Lake and Lakeview would be kept.
While none of the options have been selected by council, Michelle Orfield, the senior B.C. Transit planner working on the project, said depending on which option is chosen, anywhere from 15 to 45 per cent of the current cost of transit to West Kelowna taxpayers could be reduced. Despite the cuts, she said, with the addition of Bus Rapid Transit, ridership would rise 4.7 per cent to 22 per cent. It would also add more o the fare box, one of the three sources of funding for transit here. The other two are B.C. Transit and the district. Transit in West Kelowna currently costs $3.4 million per year with B.C. Transit paying about 45 per cent. The three options proposed call for a mixture of increased service on the

routes to be kept, buses running from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.—other than the BRT line which would run until 1 a.m.—and reductions in cost. The BRT will run later because it has to tie in with the service in Kelowna which runs later. But some of the residents who attended the meeting were concerned about the loss of service to neighbourhoods. One woman said it was not “socially or morally” correct to remove transit from an area that currently has it. Another woman said if an area has transit, it will be used but if it doesn’t people will likely drive where they want to go rather than drive to a bus stop. As a future part of the transit plans, B.C. Transit would like to develop park and ride areas for people to
use the Bus Rapid Transit line. One could be at the Westbank terminus and the other in the Boucherie Centre area. BRT is an express bus will travel Highway 97 from Westbank to UBCO via Kelowna and make limited stops along the way. The service is already operational in Kelowna and West Kelowna council has agreed to extend it to the west side of the lake. Following the meeting, some of those in attendance said the current system needs to be changed. Carol Marquardt, who lives in the Ross Road area and who works at the Kelowna airport, said she has to take three buses to get to work each morning and two buses to get home in the evening. While the rapid tran-

A common complaint transit planners hear is that bus schedules are not currently set up for one bus to meet a connecting bus. Orfield said as individual routes move to 15-minute schedules—

something many people want—it is harder to mesh schedules to meet connections without a wait in between. “But,” she conceded, “we can do a better job.” As for cutting service, West Kelowna resident Mardelle Corbett, who takes the bus to Kelowna City Hall from her home
every day, said she would like to see more consultation with those directly effected, such as the Smith Creek residents. “It’s always useful to get (more) people’s opinions,” she said, noting the small turnout at the transit open house Tuesday in Westbank. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

WESTSIDE ▼ FILING COURT ACTION
Injured accident victims be mindful of the time factor I ’m going to finish a story that I started telling in a previous column published on Oct. 5, 2008, which was entitled, “When it comes to injury claims keep an eye on the clock.” The beginning of the story told in that column is how I had managed to avert injustice by commencing a lawsuit in the nick of time. Most people who consult with me about their injury claims are aware that there is something called a “two year limitation period.” Not many of those people have a full appreciation for how significant that limitation period is. It doesn’t matter how serious your injuries are. It doesn’t matter how much money the insurance company has already offered to settle your claim. If the court registry doors close at 4 p.m. on the second anniversary of the crash without a lawsuit having been commenced, your claims for fair compensation will end. Our legal world, and
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott the world in general, is full of deadlines that are not absolute deadlines. You may have to pay a penalty or apply to the court for an extension, but the law is typically very reluctant to completely eliminate legal rights for failure to meet a deadline. This is an exception. It is one of those very rare absolute deadlines. No matter how much you beg and plead. No matter if being struck by lightning, picked up by a tornado, or taken hostage by terrorists is to blame, that deadline will not be extended. So, imagine my sense of urgency when an injured victim’s sister told me that her sister had been injured a “couple years” before.

In some rare circumstances, there can be a delay in when the clock starts ticking, which could extend the deadline. For young people, for some but not all types of claims, the clock doesn’t start ticking until the 19th birthday. Please, if you or your
child has legal rights arising from an injury, get in to see a lawyer immediately on a free initial consultation basis to find out what deadline applies to your particular case.

Perhaps a request under the provincial freedom of information legislation might give me the statistics. I really had no time to evaluate whether or not the offer the insurance company had made in that case was a fair one.

• participated in my first question period, and • listened in as the first budget under Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s majority government was introduced to Canadians. I also had a chance to attend the opening of the new Penticton Swimming Pool, where I was very honoured to meet and hear from many citizens on issues that are of importance to them. One issue that I know is of great importance to all of us is the need to help those seniors who are struggling in their retirement. The 2011 budget contains increased financial support to the Guaranteed Income Supplement for low income seniors. These increases for an eligible senior could be as much as an additional $600 for a single and
Dan Albas $840 for a couple annually. This increase will help close to 700,000 seniors across Canada. In addition, the income earnings exemption threshold for the GIS will also be increased from $500 to $3,500 to help those seniors who are still active in the workforce. For family caregivers, there will now be a 15 per cent non refundable tax credit for those who care for dependent family members.
In addition, the $10,000 claim limit for eligible medical expenses will be also be removed. There is also a new children’s arts and tax credit for eligible programs in the arts, culture and recreation. The reason I raise these items is because this budget recognizes that different people in different stages of their lives have much different needs. This budget also recognizes some of the diverse needs of a riding like Okanagan-Coquihalla. While these are only a few of the many details contained in the budget, another aspect I believe is also worth noting, as it was announced in the Throne Speech, was a commitment to do a comprehensive review of all government spending. I think we all know
that government is very good at creating programs but not always as successful at putting an end to them. This will be first review of its kind in roughly 15 years, carried out by a cabinet subcommittee. I may also have a chance to make my first official new member’s statement in the House of Commons this week. It is my intent on asking my fellow MPs to be mindful with the many young high school and college students that will graduate in the weeks ahead that we not lose sight of the needs of jobs and a strong economy for their future. Retirement is another topic that I will raise as our seniors deserve to retire with dignity. Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for Okanagaan-Coquihalla.
▼ OKANAGAN INDIAN BAND
CORD signs off on reserve expansion The Central Okanagan Regional District board will support a move by the Okanagan Indian Band to expand its reserve. The band has made an application to Northern Affairs Canada to expand its reserve No. 1. The band wants to add
approximately 1,088-hectares of land to its reserve. The land is owned by the band and is located northwest of Westshore Estates, which lies at the Vernon end of north Westside Road. The area is in the Central Okanagan West elec-
toral area. The band says the expansion is related to its 2002 settlement of a boundary claim, acknowledging a historical survey error of its reserve. The CORD board support is conditional on protection and exclusion of road rights-of-way, reten-
tion of unrestricted public access to adjacent private and Crown land and that the Okanagan Indian Band host a public open house to advise the community of the implications of the proposed reserve expansion.
Sewer servicing for Smith Creek, Doucette/Summerview The District of West Kelowna will send out crews to clean sewers in the Smith Creek and Doucette/Summerview neighbourhoods next week. The work is expected to continue until the end of the month. Residents who are not familiar with the process may notice water draining from bathroom appliances as a re-
sult of pressure changes. The process may also cause minor backflows so affected residents may wish to keep appliance lids closed during this time, advises the district. For more information about the sewer line servicing project, contact the West Kelowna utilities department at 778-797-2246.

WESTSIDE ▼ ENVIRONMENT
A new kind of NIMBYism called Nature in My Backyard
U
pon reading about the growing resistance to a mega-quarry being proposed for southern Ontario, I had an epiphany about the media’s use of the term NIMBY, a popular acronym for “Not In My Backyard.” It’s normally used to describe grassroots efforts to block everything from landfills and windmills to big box stores and bike lanes. NIMBYism has taken on a negative association, often implying naive or parochial resistance to projects that challenge the status quo in a community. But NIMBYism isn’t always bad. Although it can arise out of fear of something new or different in a community, it can also be the result of genuine concern for the local environment. I’d like to propose a new kind of NIMBY, one that is positive and reflects a true sense of caring for our communities. Let’s go green and say yes to Nature In My Backyard. A good place to start recognizing this new NIMBYism would be literally in our backyards. That means encouraging more home veggie and herb gardens, more native plants that support birds, bees, and butterflies, and more backyard composters for fruit and veggie scraps and yard clippings. Next, we can bring Nature in My Backyardism to the neighbourhood. Our municipal parks are undoubtedly important green spaces, but they are often seen as an after-
SCIENCE MATTERS
David Suzuki thought, especially when overzealous municipal leaders want to cut spending. Let’s rethink urban parks as places that provide more than just a space to play sports or sit on a bench. Our local parks provide a variety of essential services that we take for granted. For instance, trees clean and cool our air, absorb pollutants, store and filter rainwater, reduce noise, add colour, absorb and store carbon, and are home to many species of insects, birds, and other critters. Add up the benefits that local parks provide. You might be surprised. The City of Philadelphia found that investment in its park system returned a net increase in economic wealth of more than $700 million each year. At the regional level, the new NIMBYism could be directed toward wrapping “greenbelts” around our sprawling urban areas. Protecting the farms, fields, forests, and wetlands around our urban areas is an investment that will pay huge dividends. The internationally renowned 1.8-million-hectare Ontario Greenbelt is estimated to provide the Golden Horseshoe region
Edo Japan to help out the food bank Edo Japan Westbank will give away free samples of the restaurant’s signature Teriyaki Chicken and Sukiyaki Beef today (June 12) between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. In place of charging for the Japanese delicacies, Edo Japan will collect donations for the Westside Community Food Bank. As well, the restaurant will match the donations total received. “I’m looking forward to meeting our neighbours, enjoying some delicious food and giving back to the people in our community,” said Westbank Edo Japan franchise owner Craig Thesen. “The support from the community over the last 28 years has been tremendous,” added David Lanthier, treasurer of the Westside Community Food Bank. “We currently help approximately 235 families in an average month, so we’re very grateful for community donations tand initiatives, and it’s great when companies such as Edo Japan are willing to get involved.”
with more than $2.6 billion in economic benefits each year, and it serves as a bright green example of how we can protect and restore nature in the backyards of an entire region. But perhaps the most exciting Nature in My Backyard campaign is an effort to establish Canada’s first urban National Park in the Rouge Valley, at the east end of Toronto. Parks Canada is celebrating the 100th year of our magnificent National Parks system. I can think of no better way to commemorate this milestone than to bring nature to urbanites in the Rouge. Imagine a National Park that is accessible by public transit for millions of city dwellers, including huge and diverse populations of new Canadians. Despite being in the heart of one of the densest urban areas in North America, the Rouge Valley is a surprisingly intact chunk of forests, fields, and waterways that meanders from the Oak Ridges Moraine in Markham to the shoreline of Lake Ontario in Scarborough. After more than two decades of tireless advocacy and political horse-
trading, the Rouge is now poised to become the first and largest urban National Park in North America—something the federal government made a commitment to pursue in this past week’s throne speech. Although significant work remains before the prime minister arrives for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, these are heady days for a green space that most Canadians, and Torontonians for that matter, have likely never heard of. Adding a National Park in the Rouge will permanently protect a vital green space and provide a much-needed opportunity for residents throughout the GTA to take pride and get outside. I encourage citizens across the country to join me in celebrating the new NIMBY and saying yes to nature in our backyards, neighbourhoods, and communities. It will be an important reminder that nature isn’t a destination—it is literally in our backyard.

Assistant coach one of four new club staff hirings At a time when hockey teams are still looking to add players for the coming season, the Westside Warriors have filled out its compliment of workers for the B.C. Hockey League franchise. The Warriors have recently added four new additions to their office and hockey staff.
Brandon West
Brandon West, who guided the Major Midget AAA Okanagan Rockets during the 2010-2011 season, has accepted an assistant coaching position with the Warriors. West was an assistant coach with the Okanagan Rockets during the 2009-2010 season before assuming the role of
head coach when former Warriors assistant Misko Antisin departed for Europe. The major midget Rockets organization commented that they wish West all the best for his efforts over the past two seasons.
His work ethic and commitment to the Okanagan Rockets program will be greatly missed, the team stated. West will join head coach/GM Darren Yopyk and second year assistant coach Brent Gough on the Warriors bench.
The Warriors are also pleased to announce Jon Zacks as their full time play-by-play commentator for the upcoming season. Zacks moves west to Westside after spending last season with the Trail Smoke Eaters.
He will be in charge of all home and away broadcasts as well as a gameby-game Warriors blog. Other office hiring’s including new ticket sales manager Andy Holmes and Mike Schell as an addition to the sales team.

The B.C. Hockey League will have its most balanced schedule ever when the league kicks off Sept. 23, two weeks later than normal. The BCHL held its Annual General Meeting June 2 to 4 in Richmond and met with governors, coaches and team marketers to wrap up the 2010-11 season and set out plans for 2011-12. The coming season will be the league’s 50th anniversary and as it approaches, several celebratory events will be announced. At the AGM, the league determined the number of home and away games for in- conference play. The half-interlock schedule will have each
team play every other team but visit only four rinks in the opposing conference. Each club will play three of their conference opponents four times at home and four times on the road. Against the remaining four conference opponents, it will be four at home and three on the road. “We will have the 2011-12 schedule completed by the first week of July,” said BCHL executive director Dave Sales. “Within conference, this is going to be the most balanced schedule we’ve ever seen.” Another change is that the schedule will start Sept. 23, two weeks later than last year.
As such, it has been mandated that each club’s main training camp will begin no sooner than Aug. 22. With respect to the board of governors, executive committee chairman Darcy Rota, of the Coquitlam Express, and Vernon Vipers owner Duncan Wray were named co-recipients of the league’s Executive of the Year award. Rota also took the opportunity to announce he is stepping down as the BCHL board chairman. Wray was nominated and accepted stepping into that role. “Both Darcy and Duncan have been exemplary partners in our league and have elevated the BCHL’s status through their dedi-
cation,” said BCHL Commissioner John Grisdale. “With Duncan moving into the chairman’s role, I know we will not miss a beat moving forward.” Also, as Wray was already on the executive committee, Westside Warriors owner Mark Cheyne has joined the group to keep it at five members. Surrey’s Ronnie Paterson will continue as cochair and Trail’s Tom Gawryletz and Alberni Valley’s Andy Oakes stay on board as well. “I have a great deal of respect for what Darcy did and I understand his reason for moving on,” said Wray. “There are still some things I’d like to accomplish and hopefully I can lead the charge with the new board.”
