Anti-HST petitioners happy with response
Killer admits to his crime
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The local man in charge of gathering signatures on a petition opposing the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax says while he is not allowed to reveal the number of signatures collected during the first week of the campaign, he’s is very happy with the level of response. Daniel Thorburn said if the initial pace keeps up, he expects to have the required number of signatures by the end of the month, just 30 days into the allotted 90day collection period. But, he added, if that turns out to be the case, his canvassers will not let up because they want to collect as many signatures as possible. “I’ve been really impressed by how hard our canvassers are working and the number (of signatures) they have brought in,” said Thorburn, the former local B.C. Refederation Party candidate who is overseeing the Fight HST petition drive in three provincial electoral ridings—Kelowna-Mission, Kelowna-Lake Country, Westside-Kelowna and Vernon-Monashee. The petition is part of an Elections B.C.-sanctioned initiative drive to have a province-wide vote held on the government’s plan to introduce the HST in July. The government could also vote on the group’s proposed legislation to stop the HST, but the anti-HST organizers say if the Liberals use their majority in the legislature to vote it down, their second phase of action will be an attempt to recall Liberal MLAs, including Premier Gordon Campbell. Recent public opinion polls have put opposition to the HST at 85 per cent in B.C. The new tax would be applicable to several goods and services currently exempt from the seven per cent provincial sales tax. The petition drive is being led by former B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm and is supported by the NDP and other smaller B.C. political parties as well as some business groups. The Liberal government, which during last year’s election campaign said it had no plans to introduce an HST, claims it was forced into introducing the tax after its revenues fell dramatically as a result of the recent economic downturn. The decision was helped by the federal government offering a $1.5 billion financial inducement. Thorburn said while he currently has 30 canvassers in each of the four ridings he is overseeing—half the number he expects to eventually have—the totals are increasing each day as more canvassers are approved by See HST A4

DL# C3289/5296
An Okanagan woman whose daughter and grandson were murdered says she’s “relieved” that their killer has admitted to the crime. “It’s like a weight’s been taken off my shoulders,” said Marla Smith Tuesday afternoon. On Monday morning, as the Kelowna Law Courts were filled with potential jurors, Nicholas Coopper pleaded guilty to the second degree murder of Marla’s daughter, 28-year-old Karen Smith, and the manslaughter of Karen’s nearly two-yearold son, Ayden. He had earlier been charged with the first degree murder of Karen, who he had been living with, and the second degree murder of Ayden. The plea deal, finalized that morning, came on the same day Coopper’s trial, scheduled for four weeks, was set to begin, said Crown counsel Colin Forsyth. After meeting with Crown counsel on Tuesday, Marla said it was a

WESTBANK SUBWAY manager Mary Grace cleans the store at Hoskins Road and MainStreet after a truck crashed through the front of the newly renovated restaurant on Monday night.
W WEST KELOWNA
Buildings take a beating from drivers Two Westside businesses were damaged yesterday after being hit by moving vehicles. The most significant crash rendered a Westside restaurant a virtual drive-in after a one ton truck with trailer smashed into the Subway restaurant on Main Street at Hoskins Road just after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. “It was determined that the driver of the one-ton truck had fled, and so the police services dog was called in,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “The dog team followed a scent track to the Westbank Shopping Centre, where the trail ended.” The police investigation has determined that the truck and dump trailer had been stolen from Peachland earlier in the evening. The skid steer loader that was sitting on the trailer after the crash did not belong to the owner of the truck and trailer, and police believe it may have been stolen later in the evening. Police are now trying to locate the owner of the Volvo skid steer and are asking the owner to contact them with a proper description and equipment identification. Later that morning, at 11:10 a.m., an elderly driver mistakenly selected the wrong gear and accidentally bounced her car off the front of a drug store. Police say the woman, who was returning from a doctor’s appointment, put her 2009 Audi in drive instead of reverse when she attempted to back out of her parking stall in front of the Pharmasave on Main Street in West Kelowna. One of the drug store’s windows was smashed and there was some damage to the structure. Damage to the woman’s vehicle was moderate, and she was uninjured, police say. No motor vehicle act charges were laid in the case, police added.

Speeding drivers continue to concern RCMP Police say they are taking complaints about speeding seriously, and spent a second straight weekend focusing on nabbing speeders in the city. Officers were on Harvey Avenue between Spall and Burtch Roads both Saturday and Sunday, handing out 86 tickets to drivers. Top speeds on Sunday were in the 90s, but on Saturday, two drivers were caught going 111 and 109 km/h in the 60 zone.
They have each been given excessive speed tickets. And, on Friday, officers focused on speeders on the William R. Bennett Bridge. In a two-hour period, 46 tickets were handed out, said Const. Steve Holmes. One driver was caught going 104 km/h in a 60 zone and was given a two-hour driving prohibition for driving under the influence of a drug. Clifton, High and Glenmore Roads were
also targeted recently, and officers are also concentrating on problem areas in school zones. Holmes said officers want the public to know that they are working to “set the tone” with respect to speeding. They are cognizant of the areas of the city that have been the subject of recent complaints about high speeds and “are responding accordingly,” he added.

Public art projects can’t be limited to local artists only Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
City council can’t limit Kelowna’s public art selection process to local artists for legal reasons, according to Kelowna’s city clerk. Monday afternoon, Kelowna city councillors were told their often discussed desire to limit public art spending to only those projects which showcase local artists’ work is not only a bad idea, it’s simply not legal. “There are trade agreement implications,” city clerk Stephen Fleming said in response to Coun. Charlie Hodge asking why the city could not choose to promote local talent first. Both the TILMA and NAFTA trade agreements include clauses designed to ensure communities cannot limit contract work to local persons or companies, regardless of whether that someone is supplying simple goods like the fertilizer needed for flower beds or whether their “good” is a complex piece of artwork. City staff have consistently told council protectionism-style public art policies are not an avenue which offer much help for the Okanagan arts community as they could encourage other communities to pursue similar policies, thus limiting the tenders Kelowna’s artists could pursue. West Kelowna sculptor Jock Hildebrand, for example, has pieces in
SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS
ANY ATTEMPT by the city to limit public art projects to local talent only could present legal issues for the city. Vietnam, the Czech Republic and Costa Rica. The city’s public art budget was scaled back this year during budget negotiations as councillors tried to reduce the tax burden on residents during the recession. The $180,000 regular budget for public art projects was trimmed to $100,000 after Coun. Graeme James started a move toward the cuts by saying the full amount
was too frivolous mid-recession. “Hopefully next year we’ll be able to fund it to the level it should be funded,” Coun. Robert Hobson said as he responded to Monday’s report. The presentation revealed Kelowna’s old railway station cum pub in the city’s North End will soon be home to the first developer/city funded art project. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Disturbed wetland area concern to naturalists STAFF REPORTER
Despite the concerns of members of the local naturalists’ club, the filling-in of a wetland on Bulman Road may not be illegal under the province’s Water Act. Only a natural watercourse, such as a lake, river, creek, spring, ravine, swamp or gulch is included in the definition of stream under the act. It prohibits changes in and about a stream without a special permit. Club members regularly bird watch at the wetland and also have identified some unusual wild plants there, according to former Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club president Don Guild. However, in the past while, truck loads of fill have been dumped in the area, and equipment has scraped up the top layer of soil and plants and piled it
in a wet area. A few tattered and dry cattails from last year’s growth remain near the fence. However, Grant Furness, section head of the ecosystems section in the environment ministry’s Penticton office, said there’s no certainty this is a natural wetland. His staff are investigating whether it is manmade or a natural wetland before advising the property owner. He said they received notice of the work being done from the City of Kelowna because of concerns it might contravene the Water Act. However, he said the work could go against the city’s Soil Removal Bylaw, which would allow the city to stop the work under its own bylaw. As far as the Water Act is concerned, he said if the wetland was created by man, perhaps as
part of the construction of the nearby railroad tracks, then there may not be anything the ministry can do to stop the work. Early photos of the area are being consulted to try and determine when it came into being. If the water supplying a stream or wetland comes from a culvert carrying runoff, it may not be considered natural, in the legal sense, he commented. He said they’d also had reports from the Conservation Officer service in Kelowna who had received complaints about the work that’s being done. The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans becomes involved only when habitat for migratory fish such as salmon is involved, while if ‘resident fish’ habitat is involved, the provincial legislation is applied, explained Bruce Runci-
Voyeur arrested A Kelowna man is facing a charge of voyeurism after allegedly using a mirror to spy on a woman and her child while they were in the change room at Parkison Recreation Centre. Last Wednesday, the woman and her threeyear-old were in the family change room when the woman noticed a mirror being held under the divider between her changing stall and the next. She was able to identify the suspect, who she says had earlier been watching them while they were in the pool, and tell staff at the centre, said Const. Steve Holmes. He was then escorted from the building and left the area on a motorcycle. However, his licence plate was obtained, and the next day police located the man at his home. The 25-year-old is now facing a charge of voyeurism. He was released on a promise to appear in court in May. Meantime, his release conditions include a requirement that he not go to any recreation facility operated by the City of Kelowna.

NEWS W HIGHWAY 97 Specials for the Week April 14- April 20
Crash totals pickup and damages minivan A pickup truck was destroyed Monday evening after going airborne when it collided with a minivan on Highway 97 in West Kelowna. According to police, around 6:30 p.m., two 17-year-old West Kelowna youths were driving in a Nissan pickup on the highway near Grizzly Road, when a Ford Aerostar crossed Highway 97 and went into the path of the pickup truck. “The driver of the pickup tried unsuccessfully to avoid the van, and the two vehicles collided, sending the pickup into the air ,” said RCMP Const. Steve Holmes. The truck landed in the ditch that runs alongside the southbound lane of Highway 97 and the two male teens were taken to hospital for treatment of non life-threatening injuries. The 77-year-old man driving the van wasn’t injured and received a violation ticket for failing to yield after a stop. Speed and alcohol weren’t considered factors in the crash, police said. The pickup was destroyed and the van suffered major damage, Holmes added.

No sign of missing woman Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
The case of missing woman Brittney Lee Irving is now being handled by the RCMP’s southeast district major crimes unit. The first week of the investigation had been handled by West Kelowna RCMP. Const. Steve Holmes said the change was made because of the “scope� of the investigation, the possibility the probe could take investigators out of
Kelowna and the fact that southeast district has more manpower, should it be needed. Irving, 24, was reported missing a week ago, and was last seen around 1 p.m. on April 6 at a motel on Harvey Avenue. She told a family member that she was going to Rutland to meet someone, and police said last week that they were following up information that she may have been meeting with a drug deal-
er prior to her disappearance. A day after she was last heard from, her blue 2001 Ford Explorer was found on a pullout on Philpott Road off of Highway 33. Police are treating her disappearance as suspicious. Irving is described as Caucasian with a tanned complexion and a freckled face, long brown hair and blue eyes. She stands five feet six inches tall and weighs 126 pounds.

W CRIME
Parole system failed to alter troubled man’s path in life Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A mere seven months before Karen and Ayden Smith were murdered,
their killer completed a sentence for taking another life. On Aug. 12, 2000, an intoxicated Nicholas Brian Coopper, then 19,
stabbed Barry Dallas Buchan through the heart with a hunting knife after he became involved in an altercation with a group of youths outside of his
apartment in Kimberley. He was ordered to serve eight years minus time he served prior to sentencing in June, 2001. However, Coopper was granted statutory release by the National Parole Board prior to the end of the prison term, as is typically done, but was given conditions by the board to attempt to manage him on his return to
the community. National Parole Board decisions obtained by the Capital News indicate he had his statutory release suspended about a year prior to Karen and Ayden’s deaths after he was found to be using a variety of illicit drugs. Two years prior to the deaths, he was also arrested following an incident where he was drunk and
causing a disturbance. As well, the same year Karen and Ayden died, Coopper was the subject of a suspension warrant for smoking marijuana in city cells and a report issued in April 2008 indicated psychological assessments suggested he was at a moderate to high risk to re-offend. At that time, the National Parole Board re-
voked his statutory release because his risk was “no longer manageable in the community.” A month later, Coopper completed his manslaughter sentence and was no longer subject to conditions by the parole board, a letter from the parole board indicates. cweirda@kelownacapnews.com

Despite the horrible tragedy she suffered, Marla is staying positive, hoping the legacy of the deaths is something good. “I believe that you always have to be positive,” said Marla. “Something good is going to come out of this tragedy.” Following the murders, she’s devoted herself to a project named after

Police say wearing life jackets likely saved the lives of two men who were dumped into Okanagan Lake when their canoe overturned. RCMP were called just after noon on Saturday when they received a call from a person who spotted the canoe upside down in the lake and at least one person in the water. “The red canoe could be seen clearly from the bridge, and two persons were located trying to swim to shore,” said Cpl. Ralph Jolley. A Penticton man launched his boat prior to the arrival of the fire department, and pulled the two men from the water. “They were both wearing life jackets when they were in the water, which likely saved their lives,” Jolley said.

W COURT
Rutland Rapist impersonator handed jail sentence Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A man who sent messages claiming to be the Rutland Rapist under the name of a man he thought to be a bully, has been sentenced. Penticton resident Kyle Baker has been handed a four month conditional sentence, meaning he can serve it in the community, followed by 20 months of probation for a series of threatening messages he sent around the time a man was attacking strangers in the Rutland area in 2007.
During his sentencing hearing, the court heard that Baker decided that a man, whose name is protected by a publication ban but whom we’ll call Brad, was a bully and undertook a number of efforts online as a way of “getting back” at the man. In September, 2007, he first sent a message to CHBC News, claiming he knew who the man dubbed the Rutland Rapist was. Two months later, he sent another pair of messages purportedly from “Brad” claiming to be the Rutland Rapist and sug-
gesting he’d “come after” a number of CHBC’s employees. Around the same time, he was on Nexopia chatting with two different girls and threatened to rape them. Police took the claims that Brad was the Rutland Rapist seriously, interviewing the man before deeming he wasn’t the person responsible. Still, police spent an estimated 160 hours on what was essentially a wild goose chase, Judge Robin Smith said, as investigating Brad diverted officers away from look-
ing for the real attacker. “That goes right to the heart of the public mischief,” said Smith. He also noted what Brad had to go through while under suspicion because of Baker’s lies and questioned how Baker would feel if someone claimed he was the Rutland Rapist. “Very bad,” Baker replied. Baker was identified as the person behind the messages after police traced the IP address of the messages back to Baker’s Penticton home and soon secured a search
warrant for his home. Baker pleaded guilty to two counts of uttering threats, public mischief and fraud for impersonating “Brad” after a statement in which he confessed his actions to police was ruled admissible
at his trial. As part of his conditional sentence and probation, he must perform 40 hours of community work service, cannot access the Internet, and must write letters of apology. Police later identified

The City of Kelowna will likely be among the first to join in on a run to raise awareness of environmental issues and building sustainable com-

geet 100 cities involved by 2012 in the effort, which raises funds for environmental causes. City employee Lee Mossman is among the run’s directors, though it is based out of Vancouver. The run will be held
April 25 in Waterfront Park. There are two runs in Toronto, one in Kamloops, one in Nelson and one in Vancouver thus far.

“When the (police) officer arrived on scene, the fire department was making sure that the now awake driver was all right,” said Const. Steve Holmes. While the officer didn’t find any signs of alcohol impairment, he did discover that the truck was the one he had just taken a theft report on. The sleepy criminal, identified as 39-year-old David Colin Briggs, was arrested and charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property. A day after his arrest, he pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property, and is now serving a 30month jail term. The charge of theft was stayed.

Healthy Conversations with Shauna What are the crucial factors for a healthy sex life?
H
ealthy sexual function is crucial to overall well-being and longevity and there are many factors that influence this. Erectile dysfunction is the most common complaint in men that suffer with CVD, diabetes, obesity, stress and sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, alcohol and drugs including medication abuse. Sexual activity and performance are also determined by the levels of brain neurotransmitters which convey information between nerve cells. These cells are associated with sexual desire, arousal, and timing of sexual release, orgasm and resolution. The key is to balance the neurotransmitter systems starting with optimizing dopamine levels. Dopamine
function helps maintain sexual desire and is a precursor to adrenaline. Dopamine is derived from the amino acid Tyrosine. Dopamine levels are depleted by stress, drug use, poor diet, and lack of sleep so having a healthier life style, good adrenals and sleep patterns can also help dopamine levels. Arousal is initiated by acetylcholine levels in the brain. In fact it regulates vaginal lubrication in women and can adversely affect lower semen volumes in men. People with acetylcholine deficiencies may suffer with poor cognitive function and find themselves unable to concentrate and focus on sex. Taking choline, acetylL-carnitine and phosphatidylserine along with fish oils helps improve acetylcholine levels in the brain.
Timing of sexual release e.g. premature ejaculation and resolution are improved by increased serotonin which is synthesized from tryptophan. Low serotonin levels can cause lack of joy and decreased feeling of intimacy. 5-HTP is a natural supplement which can increase levels of tryptophan and serotonin.
O
rgasm and resolution is controlled by levels of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and is one of the most important inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. GABA works well with other amino acids and niacin to lower stress levels and increase dopamine levels.

CHARITABLE HAIRCUT…Tessa Monaghan, 8, of Kelowna cut off eight
inches of her hair last week to donate it for cancer patient wigs as her First Lutheran Christian School classmates cheered on their support. The loss of your hair is one of the most dreaded side effects of chemotherapy. It takes at least six ponytails to make one real hair wig. The Canadian Cancer Society and the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program support cancer patients by encouraging the donation of long hair which can be used to create real hair wigs. Cancer has touched Tessa’s life many times. Her grandmother passed away from breast cancer, her aunt recently completed treatment for ovarian cancer and several close friends continue to fight the disease.

A lesson in local history for students Friday and Saturday, April 16 and 17, will be a whirlwind of culture and history for a group of Okanagan Valley students. More than 40 Grades 4, 5 and 6 students from School District 23, School District 22, and Sensisyusten House of Learning will participate in the fourth annual Okanagan Regional History Fair, hosted by the Kelowna Museums. “The Okanagan Regional History Fair is an exhibition of student work on a Canadian theme. Students prepare projects to tell stories and share information on Canadian people, places, and events,” said Patti Kil-
back, associate director of exhibitions and programming for the Kelowna Museums. “Students will present their projects to a panel of community judges on Friday, April 16, at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. But first, students will be treated to a morning of activities at Sensisyusten House of Learning which will include traditional Okanagan songs and dances, Indian tacos, and a performance of the Okanagan creation legend.” On Saturday, the students’ projects will be on display during the Open House at the Rotary Centre for the Arts from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The public is invited to the open house to view the wide array of projects on display. All schools in the Okanagan Valley, from Lumby to Penticton, were invited to partake in the History Fair. Participating schools will include Sensisyusten House of Learning, Dorothea Walker Elementary, Kelowna Christian School, as well as schools from Vernon and home school students. The panel of judges is comprised of volunteers from the community: Robert Hayes (Okanagan Historical Society); Hugh Gloster (school district superintendent);
Glenna Turnbull (journalist); James Coble (Okanagan College); Shelley Nicholl (journalist); Christine Dendy (orchardist); Sgt Anne Morrison (RCMP); Dr. James Hull (UBC Okanagan); Michele Rule (Kelowna city councilor); and Nathan Caldwell (French Cultur-
al Centre). The Kelowna Museums also acknowledge the Okanagan Regional History Fair sponsors: B.C. Heritage Fair Society, Interior Savings, Kelowna Sunshine Rotary Club, Kelowna Rotary Club, Westbank First Nations and Shaw TV.

plex document and carries out your wishes after your death. There are rules that must be followed in drafting a will; otherwise the will may not be valid. The cost of a will depends on how complex your situation is. Discuss the fees with your lawyer or notary when you call to arrange a meeting. Minimize the legal fees by being well prepared with a list of your assets, and how you want them divided, summarize family names and their relationship to you, and any other people or organizations to whom you want to give gifts. If you have a business, your will needs to address these financial assets. Your will can be changed after you die. The Wills Variation Act allows claims to be made by spouses or children, if they feel they have not received their fair share of your estate. Be sure to consult a legal professional about your situation. A lawyer or notary will discuss the rules that apply to wills, and help with estate planning issues to save money for your beneficiaries. If you already have a will, you should review it every couple of years to make sure it is current. If you marry, your will is automatically revoked unless the will says it was made in contemplation of your new marriage. If you divorce, the portions of your will that involve your ex-spouse may no longer be valid. A will is only one part of your estate plan. There are opportunities to transfer assets to beneficiaries outside of a will, without tax and other cost consequences. This is called “estate planning” and you also have to do this while you are alive. Pre-planning during your lifetime is a loving and reassuring gesture to your family. A will is a legal document to direct what you want done with your assets that you own solely in your name when you die, and ensure your final wishes are carried out.

Total Restoration, Mercx winners at Ski2Sea Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
There wasn’t nearly the drama of some past finishes, but it didn’t stop the Total Restoration squad from racking up its fifth victory in the last six years at the annual Interior Savings Ski2Sea Race.
‘‘
IT’S TOO BAD IT WASN’T A LOT CLOSER, BUT THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE OTHER TOP TEAM ISN’T THERE TO PUSH YOU. Cory Forrest, Total Restoration
The T.R. team covered the six-leg, 95 km race Sunday from Big White to the shores of Okanagan Lake in three hours 14 minutes 30 seconds, almost 25 minutes ahead of the Bike Barn from Penticton (3:39:13).

TOTAL RESTORATION paddlers David Williams (right) and Brian Boatman head for the finish line at Kelowna City Park during the 2010 edition of the Interior Savings Ski2Sea Race. Total Restoration’s perennial rivals, Fresh Air Experience, didn’t enter a competitive team in the open division this spring, making the race to victory an easy one. “We’ve never won by such a large margin,” said Total Restoration team member Cory Forrest. “It’s too bad it wasn’t a lot closer, but that’s what
happens when the other top team isn’t there to push you. “Most of the teams do it for fun, so the number of really competitive teams is limited. We still go out there to win, so we’re happy with the way the race went.” Cameron Warman led off T.R. with the downhill ski portion, Cyrus
Kangarloo took the cross country leg, Forrest took care of the mountain bike leg, Jamie Sparling handled the road biking portion, Graeme Wilson was the runner, while paddlers Brian Boatman and David Williams took the final leg home in the canoe.

It’s been a year of growth for young Rockets team Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Bruce Hamilton is never content when his team’s season ends before mid-April. Still, in a campaign marked by plenty of adversity—primarily with injuries and the loss of some key veterans—the Kelowna Rockets general manager witnessed more than a few positives in 2009-10. “I’d have to say I’m somewhat satisfied with the way the season went,” said Hamilton. “When you consider we didn’t get most of our key overage guys back, we thought we’d get Colin Long back, and then we lose our top player for the second year in a row (Tyler Myers), that makes it tough. This was a very young team, so I don’t think we can feel too bad about how it turned out. “We had all the injuries, too,” he added. “But we never used it was never used as an issue or an excuse and the coaches did a great job of helping our players work through that.” After finishing sixth in the Western Con-
ference with 35 wins, the Rockets engineered what most considered a first-round upset as they knocked off the second-place Everett Silvertips in seven games. And while they were unable to pull off a similar stunt against Tri-City in the conference semifinal—the Americans won in five games— Hamilton said the Rockets played step-for-step with their more experienced opponents. “We played the top two teams in the west back-to-back,” he said. “We beat Everett, one of the best teams all year in our conference, then we gave Tri-City all they could handle. Every game was a real game in that last series and that was mainly because of Brandon McMillan and Lucas Bloodoff, the way they played and led this team. Our young guys had their eyes opened and that should help us down the road. But I think they played so much during the year, they just ran out of gas.” For all but the last six weeks of the regular season, the Rockets were dogged by injuries in 2009-10. As many as eight regulars were sidelined at
once during the year, forcing the club to press four 15-year-old rookies into service at one time or another. Only forward Mitchell Callahan played in all 72 games. Evan Bloodoff appeared in just nine regular season games after missing six months with a damaged ACL. And the team once again missed the contributions of Kyle St. Denis who played in only 26 games due to recurring concussion symptoms. The speedy forward, who has played in only 48 games the last two seasons, will evaluate his situation over the summer to decide whether he will attempt a return in 2010-11. “The kid’s had a really tough year,” said Hamilton. “It was the right decision to shut him down when we did. He trains every day and he’s getting better, there’s a spark in his eye, but he needs to be 100 per cent if he’s going to come back. We have to do what’s in Kyle’s best interest.” While St. Denis’ status is up in the air, overagers Mark Guggenberger, Lucas Bloodoff and

Dallas Jackson won’t be back, while Brandon McMillan is expected to make the jump to the pro ranks within the Anaheim Ducks organization. Forward Geordie Wudrick could return next season as an overage if the Los Angeles Kings choose not to promote him to the professional ranks.

Solid opening for United squads Kelowna United’s U12 girls teams were unbeatable on opening weekend of the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League season. The local girls won all six games in a series against Penticton and Vernon. The game scores were: • 4 – 0 for Kelowna 1 Black Team over Vernon 2 as Kylee Kilmer scored twice. • 3 – 0 for Kelowna 1 Black Team over Vernon 1 • 3 – 0 for Kelowna 2 Red Team over Penticton 1 • Nina McGarvey scored twice as Kelowna 2 Red Team beat Vernon 2 by a 5-1 score. • Kaitlyn Kilmartin scored both goals as Kelowna 2 White Team downed Vernon 1, 2-1. • 5 – 0 for Kelowna 3 White Team over Penticton 2 KU Boys U12 A The Kelowna U12 boys A team started off the season with a fantastic opening weekend. Corbin Beachemain scored a hat-trick in each game as United downed Shuswap 7-0 and Revelstoke 5-2. Goalkeeper Noah Trites recorded the shutout. KU Boys U12 B Kelowna’s U12 boys B team kicked off their season Sunday with convincing two wins. Matt Harden scored four times in a 9-1 victory over Shuswap, while Scott Rutter and Sasha Josipovic scored twice each. United completed the weekend sweep with a 3-1 win over Vernon. KU boys U13 A In TOYSL exhibition play, the United U13 boys played to a 1-1 draw with Kamloops U14 B. Connor Richard scored Kelowna’s lone goal, while
MVP nods went to Josh Taitinger, Ronel Kayal and Zack Sousa. Meanwhile, the U13 A boys won gold at the recent Icebreaker tournament, defeating Vancouver West Santos 1-0 in the final. The lone marker came on a PK late in the second half. Samuel Evans received the team award for most goals, and keeper Carson Murray allowed only one goal the entire tournament. KU boys U14 B Kelowna United battled to a 0-0 draw with Vernon in U14 action on a cold and blustery afternoon in Lake Country. The teams had met a month previous and Kelowna was able to improve on the 1-0 defeat that their local rivals inflicted on them last time. KU Boys U 16 B Brandon Nahayowski scored four goals as Kelowna United U16 B Team opened the regular season with a 7-1 win over Vernon Sunday at UBCO. KU switched keepers at half time and Justin Gaudet recorded his third shutout since the opening Ice Breaker tournament last weekend. KU Girls U 18 The Kelowna United U-18 girls opened the season with a 3-0 win over the Kamloops Blaze on Sunday at UBCO. Alana Hazell scored twice for the local girls. KU U11 girls The Kelowna United U11 beat Kamloops(2) 4-2, then played to a 0-0 draw against Kamloops (3) later in the day Sunday in Vernon. Emma Brigattini scored twice for Kelowna.
Vipers repeat as BCHL champs The Vernon Vipers are B.C. Hockey League champions—again. Sahir Gill collected r the winner on an odd-man rush with linemates Connor and Kellen Jones as the Vipers iced the Powell River Kings 3-1 to successfully defend their Fred Page Cup title in a Game 7 thriller Monday night at Wesbild Centre. Jonathan Milhouse, taking an unselfish feed from Connor, fired an empty-netter in the final minute to seal the win, earning an eruption of cheers from a packed thouse (3,008 fans). The last time a cup final went to seven games was in 2001 when the Victtoria Salsa outlasted the Merritt Centennials. Incidentally, that was the last year the Vipers failed to make the playoffs. t
Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner praised his squad for bouncing back after forgettable 5-2 loss in Game 6 on the Sunshine Coast. “After Game 6 I was mad. Mad that we didn’t come out with the effort that we needed. “The madness turned into disappointment because we had an opportunity. “But then the next day on the bus, now I’m jealous of these guys because they get to play in a Game 7. Not too many hockey players can say that they get to play in a Game 7 at home for a league championship. “I’m extremely proud of our guys for refocussing. We’ve had a target on our back all year long in this league. Our guys persevered and that’s a
Shaping up for the future Rockets from A20 fense,� said Hamilton. “You don’t have four rookies back there like we did and win, but they got a lot of ice time and got better as the year went on. Our coaches did a marvelous job of bringing them along. Our level of maturity I think was in question until Christmas and it took a long time to get them to understand what it takes to play in this league. I thought (Colton)
Jobke, in particular, came a long way this season and really improved. I like our group for next season.� Hamilton also lauded the performance of the entire coaching staff throughout the 2009-10 campaign, including newcomer Dan Lambert. Hamilton said he plans to sit down in the near future with Ryan Huska in an effort to extend the head coach’s current contract. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
sign of great character.� Both netminders— the Kings’ Josh Watson and Vipers’ Graeme Gordon—were stellar in keeping the first period scoreless. Watson (27 saves) stood tall as Viper rookie Dylan Walchuk crashed the net and tried to tuck the puck far side on the Powell River keeper. Gordon (first star, 26 saves) flashed a great kick save to stop Brenden Forbes, and added a few more clutch saves on Chad Niddery to keep Vernon alive. “I just tried to keep the guys in it for as long as I can. It could have been the last game of my career if I didn’t play my best game. Obviously that’s going to motivate me and I just put it all out there.� Powell River silenced the Wesbild crowd early in
the second period as Niddery, a thorn in the Vipers’ side all series, deflected defenceman Reid Campbell’s point shot at 3:26. Vernon responded five minutes later as Milhouse fired a harmless looking shot from 40 feet out that deflected off d-man Justin Dasilva’s skate, fooling Watson as 8:06. Gill’s goal came at 15:00 into the final period, but referee Trevor Hanson had to consult with linesmen Matt Thurston and Nathan Vanoosten to see if Gill had kicked the puck in (Connor’s centring pass deflected in off the Terrace product’s skate). Gordon saved his best for last as he absolutely robbed Niddery by diving across his crease to deny the Powell River forward an empty net late in the game.

A’s team gets first PBL win The newly-named Okanagan Athletics picked up a win in four tries on opening weekend of the B.C. Premier Baseball League season. The A’s—formerly known as the Kelowna Cubs—kicked off the 2010 campaign Saturday on the Lower Mainland with an 8-4 win over the Coquitlam Reds. Jeff May threw six innings of six-hit ball for the win, while Danny Stearns, Graham Drope and Brett McLure paced the offense with two hits apiece. The A’s busted the game open with six runs in the sixth inning. In the second game of the doubleheader, the Reds scored six runs in the fifth on the way to an 8-4 win over Okanagan. Dillon Kakoschke and Ryan Jaenicke had two hits apiece in the loss. On Sunday in Vancouver, the A’s dropped both ends of a twin bill to the Vancouver Cannons, 10-0 and 5-3. The first game was called after five innings
due to the mercy rule. In the finale, Graham Drope and George Currie had two hits each. The A’s, now 1-3, will be on the Island this weekend for doubleheaders against the Nanaimo Pirates and Parksville Royals.
JUNIOR A’S
Like their parent club, the Okanagan junior A’s earned a victory in four attempts on opening weekend of the BCPBL season. After dropping the first of a twin bill 6-1 to Langley, the A’s bounced back for a 16-4 thrashing of the hometown Blaze in Game 2. Dawson Yates went 4-for-4 with two RBIs for Okanagan, while Dallis Senger and Brandon Johnson delivered three RBIs each. Jesse Thompson pitched five plus innings for the win. On Sunday, the North Delta Blue Jays took two from the A’s, 10-5 and 9-2. Davis Yates drove in
two runs in Game 1, while Dawson Yates had two hits and scored twice in the series finale. This weekend the junior A’s will again visit the Blaze on Saturday, then will travel to White Rock for two games with the Tritons Sunday. Okanagan’s first home action is may 8 against the Vancouver Cannons at Lombardy Park.
BANTAM A’S
After a tough start, the Okanagan A’s finished up with a split of four games to open the B.C. bantam AAA baseball season. On Saturday at Edith Gay, the A’s dropped both ends of a doubleheader to Tri-Cities by identical 10-7 scores. On Sunday, Okanagan bounced back against Richmond with two wins—16-6 and 7-4. This weekend, the A’s will visit Tri-Cities and Victoria for single games Saturday, then will battle Cowichan twice on Sunday.

Three locals medal in Vegas Three members of the Taneda Karate Dojo represented their country in two karate tournaments in Las Vegas over the Easter long weekend—the Junior Olympics and the US Open.
For Coulson Boothe, Claire Boothe and Meranda Lloyd it was their first experience at a major international karate tournament. The three-day event saw more than 1,200
competitors from over 40 countries from around the world. Coulson competed in the 17-year-old division in the junior Olympics and fought well in all three of his bouts on the way to

capturing the bronze medal. He also fought in the 16-17 year old elite division in the U.S. Open featuring 37 competitors from around the world. Coulson had two difficult fights wining one and losing one. Both Meranda and Claire competed in the same divisions. Claire lost her first fight in overtime to the eventual gold medalist in the junior Olympics, but she had one of her best fights to date. Meranda had two very tough and close bouts. In the dying moments of her second fight she was able to land a beautiful head kick against a fighter from Mexico which gave her three points, the win and the bronze medal in the junior Olympics. In the U.S. Open Meranda was again matched up against the same girl from Mexico in the thirdplace match. This time Meranda fought smarter and didn’t need the last minute heroics to win to capture her second bronze medal. The team from the Taneda Karate Dojo was coached by Mike Ditson and Owen Lloyd.

Sport serves societal needs UBC from A23
TOBIAS BERGER of Rutland Senior Secondary is taken to the ground by Justin Feke of Kalamalka Secondary School in the Okanagan Senior and Junior 7’s Tournament at Grahame Park in Vernon Friday. LISA VANDERVELDE/BLACK PRESS
said. Through sport’s ability to create transformation, UBC itself has even greater opportunities to serve important social needs in the community. “Dozens of studentathletes at our Okanagan campus have become similarly involved in a growing community outreach program, focusing on initiatives in support of the food bank, environmental stewardship, and one that is particularly relevant for UBC Okanagan, the Wendy’s Dream Lift program for sick children.” “At a time when we have been so vividly reminded of the power of sport to transform, there can be no question that our student-athletes merit the greatest possible support from their university, its alumni and the wider community,” said Toope. The annual breakfast has raised more than $300,000 for the Athletics Scholarship endowment over the past five years. During Friday’s event, former CHBC Sports Director Pat Kennedy interviewed world-class winter athletes Kelsey Serwa and Cam Egan. Serwa, a 20-year-old Ski Cross sensation from Kelowna, placed just out of the medals at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in February, and last month won a World Cup race in Switzerland. Egan is a native of Vernon and fourth-year biology student. He is currently juggling academics at UBC Okanagan while maintaining an extensive training and competition schedule. Fellow student-athlete Dustin Luck, captain of the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s soccer team, spoke about the importance of scholarships, and
the value of retaining topcalibre athletes here at home. Luck’s hard work and dedication to academics have earned him multiple scholarships, including a Sun-Rype Founders’ Scholarship, President’s Entrance Scholarship, Gyro Club of Kelowna Bursary, and the Trek Excellence Scholarship for Continuing Students. “Scholarships can be the difference in attracting outstanding students with options anywhere in the country,” said Doug Owram, Deputy Vice Chancellor and Principal of UBC’s Okanagan campus. “The endowment supported by this morning’s community event makes those scholarships possible. The success of our Heat teams is proof that your support matters—and that it works.” The UBC Okanagan Heat teams—volleyball, basketball, soccer and golf—have enjoyed tremendous success this year, noted Rob Johnson, Director of Athletics and Recreation. “Our teams struck provincial gold for the first time ever in women’s golf, for the second time in four years in women’s basketball, and for the second straight year in women’s volleyball,” he said. “We sent five teams to nationals—men’s golf finished sixth, women’s basketball fifth, men’s volleyball won the bronze, women’s golf the silver and for the second consecutive year, women’s volleyball brought home the national championship.” UBC Okanagan has applied for membership in the Canada West Universities Athletics Association, and after being deferred for a year the Heat application goes to the membership committee again in May.

Take a moment to reflect on life and share your knowledge
T
his past week my aunt, who was almost 90 years old, passed away: It seems to me that even the longest lives can go unreflected sometimes. I am not writing about the questions of mortality or purpose, nor do I want to talk about afterlife or religion; I merely want to address reflection. Regardless of what point you are at or state you are in when you die you will always have had the chance to make a difference and teach somebody something in your life thereby helping the evolutionary process. Whether you cease the opportunity during your life is another story. I always remember a little verse I read that was posted on a wall somewhere. I stated: “Live a good honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you will be able to enjoy it a second time.� We will all die. Some of our deaths will be
FINDING REMEDIES
John Sherman permanent others will only be temporary based upon what reflection is left in the great pond. It all comes down to how many times you looked into the pond and what you saw when you were there and how you shared it. It is true, life is competitive, life is full of obstacles. However, the opposite is also true. Look at the business of medicine, for example, and considered the outcomes if no one had ever reflected their knowledge of certain experiments, studies and personal experiences. Nature is the same,. Plants and animals evolve; they learn about their environment, the dangers, and how to
thrive. Humans may have gone backward at some point when all we are left with is technological advancements leaving the wholeness of true life in the dust. Ask yourself this: What if you were to die today, have you passed on what you know and have you reflected often? Will the celebration of your life be a celebration because of who you were and what you have contributed or merely a celebration because people no longer have to deal with you. Getting back to my aunt and the idea of reflection of one’s life; there is also the scenario that at some point one may not have the capacity to reflect and to pass on the gift that experience brings with it. My aunt was not able to remember things too well. She had a full life and many experiences but unfortunately was unable to articulate them and that is where true death is; in that incapacity to create everlasting life through

SAVING FOR THE FUTURE WAS THE FIRST STEP. LET US HELP YOU MAKE
6 TIPS TO REMAIN ZEN ABOUT YOUR FINANCES The perfect recipe for financial success Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a well-known fact that financial success requires work, organization and discipline. But apart from these three essential elements, certain other measures can help you to maximize your chances of financial success. Here are a few tricks which could be very useful for the future. 1-ESTABLISH A BUDGET: a budget is a very useful tool. It allows you to see your financial situation more clearly while managing your revenues and expenses more efficiently, not to mention your debts and your savings.
THOSE SAVINGS LAST. How much can I withdraw to do everything Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve planned? How much spending is too much spending? Will all the years of saving be enough? If these are the questions youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking yourself these days, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule a time when we can sit down and answer them together. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take look at all your investments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; regardless of where you hold them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to determine if your savings match your plans, or if we can adjust your plans to meet your savings. A lot went into getting you to this stage in your life. Let us help you make sure you get the most out of it. Call today to schedule a personal financial review.

2-PAY CASH: It is to your advantage to pay cash whenever possible. In this way you avoid getting into debt and having to pay interest charges.
LINK TAX SERVICE
3-AVOID EASY CREDIT: credit is readily available these days, which makes it all too easy to slip into debt. Even though it can be very tempting sometimes, caution is always necessary. For example, keep the number of credit cards you possess to a minimum and always pay off the balance in order to avoid interest charges. 4-INVEST IN A RRSP: a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is not only a great way of saving but it also enables you to pay less income tax.
Personal Service #109-347 Leon Avenue
5-DEVELOP GOOD SAVING HABITS: apart from the RRSP which helps you prepare for retirement, good saving habits are an important part of healthy finances; the earlier theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re acquired, the more profitable they will be. 6-ASK FOR ADVICE: financial counsellors, planners, accountants or other competent professionals can be an extremely helpful source of information and advice. Never hesitate to take advantage of their services.

Downtown park bench sitter mugged A 24-year-old man is bruised and sore after being attacked by two thugs at a park on Bernard Street on Sunday night. The attack occurred at 11:30 p.m. while the victim was sitting on a park bench at Knowles Heritage Park, located at the corner of Bernard and Ethel Streets. “The victim stated that he was hit from behind by some kind of metal object,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “He was pushed off the bench and
set upon by the two males, who punched and kicked him while he was on the ground.” After the beating, he was searched and his wallet taken. “His bank card was removed and the suspects demanded his pin number as they brandished a pair of pliers threateningly,” said Holmes. The man provided his pin number and was told by the suspects to wait one hour until his pin could be verified, threatening to re-
turn if it was wrong. The assailants warned that another associate was waiting out of sight to ensure the victim stayed put for the one hour, police said. The victim remained for one hour and then ran to his vehicle where he stayed the remainder of the night before contacting police. Holmes said the victim could not identify his assailants as their faces were covered by bandanas. “It was clear that he
had suffered some kind of assault as there was significant bruising to his face, chin, arms, back and ribs,” he said. The investigation is ongoing and police are asking the public for help. If anyone saw or heard anything or anyone at the park on the evening of April 11, or has any information concerning this incident, they are asked to call Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.
A lot has changed in 60 years for our gardening expert
T
oday, I enter my seventh decade of life. It seems I’m contemplating this one about as much as I did when I turned 30. Back when I was 20, my thoughts were positive about the future yet I was sorry to see my life as a teenager become history. I really took being a teenager quite seriously, especially in the contemporary music scene. But I felt once I turned 20, I had to consider adulthood!. When I was 23, I hung up my drumsticks and began a 25-year stint working with my dad in our family nursery business. Even though I played music both locally and on the road for seven years, I was also working in the family business after school and weekends beginning at about age 14. My passion for plants and anything horticulture was spawned in those
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett early years so the transition to full time after my band days were over was a smooth one. Since that time in the early 1970s, I have seen a lot of change. In those days there were booths with dial phones on just about every street corner and it only cost a dime to make a call. Computers were something that NASA used and Big White Ski Hill had just graduated from a T-bar and rope tow to its first simple chair lift. Orchard Park Shopping centre was brand new and yes, even though it was half way to Rutland it appeared it may be a success.
There was only one 18 hole golf course, one 9 hole and one par three. If you wanted to buy groceries on Sunday about the only place of any size was Sid’s supermarket situated where the Holiday Inn is today. The Imperial Apartments on Lakeshore Drive was the tallest building in town with the old water tower across the street was there to supply Okanagan Mission its
drinking water. We only had one fire hall and Glenmore medical building was still called the Knox Clinic. I could go on and on but I think you get the gist. The changes in the industry I work in have been just as massive. When I started working with my dad full time in our garden centre, the industry was just beginning to realize it had to get back to nature in order to
be sustainable. I remember suggesting at a seminar I was conducting that someday we would be selling bugs and other organisms to help us with our gardening endeavors. Well, that someday is now. Byland’s Garden Centre is setting up a refrigerator at the information desk that contains
various biological controls such as nematodes for weevil control and believe it or not a fungus for dandelion control. Soon they will be taking orders for beneficial insects such as predator mites, lacewings and ladybugs for gardeners to introduce to their gardens. So what does it mean to me to be celebrat-

itical strategist to see how vulnerable the Liberals are on this topic. In the past, they’ve championed a lower Provincial Sales Tax, insisting that the lower rate would encourage spending and boost the economy. Endorsing the HST makes that a hard sell, simply because it extends taxation to other areas that previously weren’t taxed under the PST. What makes it harder still, is that the Liberals failed to mention plans to adopt the HST dur-
ing last year’s election. But the Liberals are gambling on the public’s reluctance to do much more than complain. While it is something of the Canadian way to kick and scream without actually doing anything, even those critical of his long run in provincial politics should acknowledge the stillcharismatic Vander Zalm is at least doing something. Vander Zalm’s methods are far from perfect. At a forum in Chilliwack last week he curious-
ly raised the spectre of some nefarious global conspiracy last week when he suggested the HST is the first step down the slippery slope to foreign domination. “One day it will be Belgium deciding the tax rate,” he warned. “It could happen; it’s not a dream.” Regardless, he is actively fighting against something many are convinced is bad for the province and its residents. And that’s more than most are doing.

School districts across the province are bracing for more budget cuts due to provincial government funding limitations. Do you feel the province should make education a higher funding priority?

for longer hours to meet the demand. Faster service will mean more money for a hospital and, in the eyes of Health Minister Kevin Falcon, better service for patients. But there could be a reason B.C. is alone in Canada when it comes to employing such a method for hospital finding. It seems like a perfect recipe for have and have-not hospitals. In the Okanagan, would a larger hospital like Kelowna take patients from the smaller Penticton or Vernon Jubilee Hospitals by providing faster service with more or better equipment? Will the numbers here strain the system and put waiting lists back in place while fewer folks go to the
underfunded smaller hospitals? The health ministry could then dump responsibility in the health authority’s lap and say it’s up to IH to deal with any regional service inequalities. And then there’ the issue of cherry-picking and care quality . The B.C. plan is modeled after a similar approach introduced in Britain several years ago where spiraling health care costs there prompted an overhaul of that country’s National Health Service. But what the Brits found was that in order to rake in the cash, some hospitals favoured less complicated procedures that could be done quickly, maximizing patient numbers and
minimizing effort. Critics complained that quality suffered. So what does Interior Health think about the plan? It’s not talking. Calls for comment were directed to the health ministry, with a spokeswoman here saying it’s Victoria’s plan and the health ministry should comment. With its latest funding plan, the province isn’t privatizing health care but it is pushing the envelope when it comes to even providing any semblance of equality in care. If you thought hospitals were trying to push you out the door as quickly as possible before, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

LETTERS
W DOWNTOWN
City perspective from long experience To the editor: I have tried not to get involved publicly about the CD-21 dilemma but I’m nearly 80, have lived in Kelowna all my life except for one year in Victoria, so I guess I have some valid perspectives about my hometown. A) If we really needed more people living downtown (to become the customers for downtown shops and amenities, the Central Green is a wonderful choice. Kelowna developed the “fan shape” because transportation brought people’s boats to the foot of Bernard Avenue. To pour thousands of people into the bade of the fan is probably very shortsighted (or eminently profitable for developers). Making a few units suitable for handicapped or low income does not encourage integration into the lifestyles of the retired or yuppies that seem to be the target market. Where do the children fit into these current plans? Most of these current architectural plans would seem to be ideal for the Central Green. B) Let’s call a spade a spade. The Gospel Mission is not what the intended highrise dweller want to look upon. I had relatives stay at the Prestige Inn and they were not favourably impressed with the view they had. Yes, the homeless love the “amenities” downtown, but it seems to me that they can get showers, haircuts, laundry services, meals, beds, counseling, etc. in other areas of Kelowna. A rural setting might even allow for their own gardens and other kinds of work training. Their welfare cheques can be sent to the new locale and they could even develop a new “park” so they could feel at home. This removal of many of the homeless would sure-
ly be well received by residents who are now leery of taking the kids or grandparents for an afternoon in our current gem of a park. Mind you, the gem lost some of this glory when we cut off the “circle drive” that allowed families to sop along the beach drive and enjoy our unique City Park. But it could and should return. C) I don’t wish to disagree with a recent writer who said the federal government was afraid to build at Leon and Water. Presumably they did not feel the Gospel Mission, its operation and clientele, were suitable neighbours. As we look around Kelowna, we find other government offices (already established) at the corner of Leon and Abbot, Capri area, Kent Road, Dolphin Road and a good old favourite—the Federal Building at Queensway and Pandosy that is now our local transit centre and often referred to as “Hooker Corner.” D) The Landmark Buildings on the highway look fantastic. But it is no secret that many office workers left the downtown empty when they moved to the Landmarks. Retail shops in Kelowna have struggled to stay in business—in spite of the city powers that punish us with the anxiety of parking meters. Retailers asked for free parking on Saturdays, but bingo players hogged the parking. Bingo moved years ago! These independent shops are superior to the big box stores in many ways. They offer service, quality products, unique lines (you don’t see the same items as you do in every mall across Canada) and most do a good job of holding prices within competitive reason. E) City council needs to do all it can to incorporate population within the boundaries
A vibrant Kelowna is all in the planning
W DOWNTOWN
To the editor: Future generations will praise the present city council for their foresight—if they will stop now the highrise buildings along the lakeshore waterfront. Maximize the shoreline for beach and parks and start the landscape with single family homes, then getting gradually higher inland. This would give more people a view of our beautiful lake and the
To the editor: On Sunday, 11 April, the same day that we read the letter from Sharron Simpson in your newspaper, my wife and I went for a walk from the north end of Sunset Drive through Rotary Marshes as far as the south end of the new promenade along Stuart Park. We decided that the city is making a great improvement in that area and we look forward to the completion of the project.
So much good already exists along waterfront
opposite shore. Why not learn from other beautiful cities like Santa Barbara on the California coast? Revitalize the downtown by resurfacing the buildings the store fronts, heritage buildings. Make parking free for the business district (not for owners and staff), then we will have a vibrant, hometown feeling, a pleasure to visit for us and visitors. Ernst Jilg, Kelowna
Driver needs crash witness to tell ICBC what happened To the editor: Attention driver with a green car. On Nov. 17, 2006, you witnessed a car collision. You were stopped on the red traffic light northbound at Highway 97 and Leckie Road. When I made a left turn on Leckie, at the green flashing arrow, a white Toyota Cam-
of Abbott to Ethel, and Sutherland to Coronation. Then we will have a downtown population of varied kinds of income, special needs, mobility and encourage all the amenities we need to we can reduce our dependence on individual vehicles. I believe Michael Neill long ago advocated the concept of “off and on” trolleys for downtown shopping. Don’t just listen to your staff—listen to your public. F) So, do we need a hotel downtown to provide for larger groups? For many years we have had a site available at the corner of Sunset and Clement, right by Waterfront Park overlooking our lake. Why did the five-star recognized hotels back out? Did the protocol at city hall have anything to do with discouraging them? Could the city give us a detailed map of who owns what property in the sacred area they are so anxious to “renew?” Construction costs and benefits to the city would likely be the same in either location. Please, think again. The character of the city is too important to destroy with unnecessary grandiose plans. G) Just another thought: What prompted the city council to look for and pay considerable money to design a new logo? I have seen thousand of people take photos of our Sails and The Rhapsody Fountain. I have never seen anyone looking for a doodle circle of triangles to take home as a souvenir. City council extolled the virtues and colours of the new logo. How do you explain the black and white versions? Perhaps a few dollars could have been siphoned form Stuart Park to enhance around The Sails. That would certainly have been a win-win project. M.F. Wort, Kelowna
ry came speeding through the red traffic light crashing into me. My car was a red Plymouth Acclaim. Please be so kind and help me by doing the right thing and come forward and report to ICBC. I am having a very hard time getting ICBC to believe me.
I hate to trouble you with this problem, you will be rewarded—when you report to ICBC ask for my phone number. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Dora Merk, Kelowna
Inevitably we talked about the letter we had just read and looked with fresh eyes at our surroundings. Generally speaking, it is always a pleasure to look around when walking through the area mentioned but we realized today how the Waterscape building stands out like a sore thumb. It is sadly out of keeping with the rest of the area. It is the wrong colour, the wrong height, the wrong shape and is altogether wrong for the
area. Whatever was the council thinking of when they approved it? Are they really going to be allowed to do more of the same by allowing another altogether inappropriate development so close to the most attractive area of Kelowna? I hope not! Sharron Simpson has done us all a good turn with her commonsense letter. I just hope the mayor and city councillors read it and take notice. Tom Craig, Kelowna

Dr. Defog-it drys up car window moisture issues Maxine DeHart
G
ot moisture in your windows? Gord Rowland is the owner of a new window restoration company, Dr. Defog-it, a division of Broco Glass Technologies, able to fix that problem. The company removes moisture and restores windows, taking aim at the need for replacement glass when thermal windows fail and show signs of moisture between the panes. Technicians drill tiny holes in the windows allowing them to dry between the panes of glass. Using compressed air and a two stage desiccant filter drying system, they then dry out the windows. Tiny vents are installed to allow excess moisture to escape and provide a clear view. Windows that have developed permanent etchings from the moisture, which look like white, milky streaks, are not candidates for the moisture removal process but may be replaced by Dr. Defog-it. They offer a 20 year warranty. Call 250-317-8635; www. drdefogit.com/kelowna.

he crash of the presidential plane near Smolensk earlier this week claimed the life of Polish President Lech Kaczynski and many of Poland’s highest ranking political and military officials. Also killed in that tragic accident was Anna Walentynowicz, the socalled “godmother” of the Polish Solidarity movement. Back in 1980, Poland existed under the crushing weight of the Soviet communist regime. Working conditions were poor and workers’ rights were essentially non-existent. Basic essentials of life, which we take for granted, were scarce and prices were on the rise while workers wages were curbed. Under the Soviet regime, workers’ attempts at organizing for the purpose of gaining improved conditions were quashed. Trade unions were illegal in Poland and, in 1970, a labour dispute in Gdansk resulted in the deaths (described in some locations as the “brutal murder”) of some 80 workers. In 1980, the combination of the grim economic situation, a constrictive political climate, and the desperate plight of workers came to a head. An electrician named Lech Walesa, who would become the figurehead of the Polish labour movement, was fired from his job at the Lenin Shipyards in Gdansk. Soon thereafter, Anna
LEGAL EASE
Robert Smithson Walentynowicz, a popular crane-operator and workplace activist at the same shipyards, was also fired from her job. According to numerous published accounts, Walentynowicz had become disillusioned with the Polish communist party, having seen that workers were not allowed to organize and that their concerns were not being addressed. She reportedly began her campaign for justice when one of her bosses stole money from the employees. Editor of the Polish labour newsletter, Robotnik Wybrzeza (Coastal Worker), Walentynowicz distributed the illegal newspaper in person at her workplace (the story is that she often handed it directly to her bosses). Apparently for her participation in illegal trade union activities— and it doesn’t appear that she made any attempt to hide them—Walentynowicz was fired just months before she was due to retire. Combined with the previous firing of Walesa, the dismissal of Walentynowcz has been described as galvanizing the workers into taking action. This was one of the

seeds from which the Polish Solidarity movement sprouted. Gdansk-Life.com describes Solidarity as an “independent labour union instrumental in the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union, and the primary catalyst that would transform Poland from a repressive communist satellite to the EU member democracy it is today.” The Lenin Shipyards strike sparked a popular revolt and resulted, a few weeks later, in the reinstatement of both Walentynowcz and Walesa to their employment. On the larger stage, the workers’ actions forced the Polish government to accept numerous concessions (referred to as the Gdansk Agreement) including the right to strike. Buoyed by their successes, the workers formed the national labour union, Solidarity, in September of 1980. But these initial successes were short-lived. In late 1981, the communist government’s opposition of the fledgling labour movement was bolstered by the appointment of General Wojciech Jaruzelski. It never seems to be a good sign when a general is appointed to lead a government. Jaruzelki’s government declared martial law and arrested many Solidarity leaders and supporters and, in 1982, Soli-
darity was outlawed. The international community widely condemned the actions of the Communist government but the persecution of Solidarity’s members continued.

POLISH CITIZENS, EXPATRIATES, AND LABOUR ADVOCATES WORLD-WIDE WILL BE MOURNING THE PASSING OF A WOMAN WHOSE COURAGE AND DETERMINATION TRULY HELPED CHANGE THE WORLD.
It wasn’t until the emergence of Mikhail Gorbechev and the implementation of certain political, social and economic reforms that the tide began to turn. A second Solidarity emerged in late 1986 and, by 1989, a Solidarity-led coalition government had been formed with a Solidarity representative elected to the position of prime minister (the first non-communist prime minister anywhere in eastern Europe in over 40 years). The Communist re-
gime in Poland had effectively collapsed and events were in motion which would lead to the demise of the Soviet Union. Only months later, the Berlin Wall would fall, eliminating one of the cornerstones of the Iron Curtain. In all of this, a crane operator named Anna Walentynowicz was a pivotal player. Polish citizens, expatriates, and labour advocates world-wide will be mourning the passing of a woman whose courage and determination truly helped change the world.

Eldorado resurrected by celebrity chef T
he Okanagan culinary scene continues to attract world-class chefs to our growing food haven.
FOOD & WIN TRAILS
Jennifer Schell Always a glorious venue to visit, the wellloved “El” seemed to have lost its gastronomic mojo along the way— until now. Enter celebrity chef Michael Lyon who is the force behind the Eldorado’s recent kitchen buzz. Rocketing into his new position with his high energy, big passion and celebrity status, Chef Lyon has quickly turned the El back into a culinary destination. Lyon is no stranger to the limelight, a twotime Gold Medal Plates winner (Canadian Culinary Championships) which led to his inauguration into the Gold Medal Plates Hall of Fame, he made his mark as executive chef at the Maple Leaf Grill and Lounge in Banff. Following other roles on television, chef Lyon is also the star of The Food Network’s Chef OFF— a fun, new cooking challenge themed show scheduled to be aired this summer. This is amazing PR for Kelowna and will bring more eyes to our stunning valley and its food and wine bounty. Earlier in his career,
Lyon travelled overseas to assume the role of senior executive chef for Planet Hollywood in Europe, where he developed his culinary edge through the exposure to a huge range of international influences. He is very excited to be here, noting that he has just completed assembling his team of “cool, young foodies” in the kitchen. Truly passionate about what he does, Lyon strives to build a positive, high-energy atmosphere for his staff to thrive in. Self described as “always being in the kitchen” this is one hands-on chef who loves his job. The mouth-watering new menu is focused on local ingredients with a theme that Lyon calls “the classics back with a twist.” Welcome to the Okanagan Chef Lyon. We are so pleased that you have decided to join us in the most beautiful place on the world. www.hoteleldoradokelowna.com 250763-7500. ••• Like many in the wine business, my dance card is full this month.

W CD REVIEWS
Alan Jackson settles nicely into elder statesman country ALAN JACKSON: FREIGHT TRAIN (ARISTA)
Alan Jackson is settling into an aged and mature country stardom with a comfy ease. Although this new studio CD and 11th album is titled Freight Train, there are no speedy train rhythms on this very mellow country outing. There are a lot of laconic ballads and Jackson wrote almost all of them about seasoned relationships and quiet, contemplative domestic bliss â&#x20AC;&#x153;like a 30year old wine.â&#x20AC;? His fans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to mind this ultra low keyed approach as this is the No. 1 album on the country charts and No. 8 on the mainstream charts. Jackson steps out with a little Kenny Chesney tropical island country on Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Where I Belong, while there is some Tennessee Two action on I Could Get Used To This Loving Thing. Country album title tracks often become hits but Freight Train here is one of the few up-tem-

But it is nice for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alt-country star Fred Eaglesmith who will get a nice royalty cheque now that Jackson has used his song as the title track. Look for the lovely ballad duet with Lee Ann Womack on Till The End to become a sleeper hit. B-
JIMI HENDRIX: VALLEYS OF NEPTUNE (SONY)
Jimi Hendrix had released just three albums and enjoyed only four years of stardom before his untimely death at age 27â&#x20AC;&#x201D;he aspirated vomit while in a drug/alcohol stupor and hydrochloric acid from the gut plays deadly havoc with
the lungs. Anyway, Hendrix was also a fanatic about recording everything from live concerts to jam sessions to multiple takes of the same song where the latter caused bass player Noel Redding to quit out of frustration. But because of the huge volume of recordings there have literally been hundreds of Hendrix albums released over the decades with widely varying degrees of musical worth. Now, after many

years of legal wrangling, the Hendrix family has finally gained control of Jimiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recordings and this umpteen-100th â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? Hendrix album actually lives up to the billing. These dozen tracks are indeed previously unreleased even if a couple of them are earlier re-recordings of songs with The Experience, as completed in 1987, long after Hendrixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demise. Some of the highlights include a very bluesy take of Elmore Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bleeding Heart and an instrumental cover of Creamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunshine Of Your Love (that features a
less than stellar bass solo). There is a funkier version of the hit Stone Free, while there is a newly discovered electric version of Hear My Train A Cominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that hitherto was only available as an acoustic song. Fans will want to check out Valleys Of Neptune and the message has gotten through that this is the real goods as this disc opened in the top five sales, whereas past Hendrix rehashes usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t draw such an audience.

LIVE AT KNEBWORTH: (EAGLE ROCK RECORDS)
This legendary concert was held way back in 1990 as a fundraiser for a British charity group not known on this side of the pond. However, the response from a plethora of U.K. stars was astounding with guest fundraisers Eric Clapton, Tears For Fears, Paul McCartney, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Dire Straits and more. This concert was released as a three-DVD set a few years ago but this
new two-CD set, at 136 minutes, is well worth a listen. Robert Plant comes off extremely well with his neo-rockabilly (Tall Cool One) while Elton John is as reliable as ever with a nicely sped up version of Sad Songs (Say So Much). Genesis surprises here with a six-song medley of old Stax, Motown and Brit rock covers while Pink Floyd fans will like the workout here of Comfortably Numb. Cliff Richard shows he still had on his rock and roll shoes through the golden oldie Do You Wanna Dance while my fave track here, cretin that I am, is Status Quoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rocking cover of John Fogertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; All Over The World. A legendary concert that keeps on giving to charity and if you are looking for the 12-minute live version of Eric Claptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunshine Of Your Love, it is right here. B
GEORGE WINSTON: LOVE WILL COME, THE MUSIC OF VINCE GUARALDI
VOL. 2 (RCA)
I probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of it as a child watching Charlie Brown and Peanuts but the music to those early TV cartoons was a large integral part of their enjoyment. In fact, Vince Guaraldi had big sellers in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s with A Boy Named Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas. The first volume of new age/jazz pianist George Winstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tribute to Guaraldi held the widely known songs Cast Your Fate To The Wind, Linus & Lucy and Christmas Time Is Here but this second volume is also noteworthy for the fine takes of Woodstock, Be My Valentine Charlie Brown and Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Elected Charlie Brown. All tunes here are just Winston and his solo piano but it makes for some delightful and restive ear honey. George Winston shows a fine feel for this material making this an enjoyable listen. B

W ENTREPRENEURS
Searching for the right entrepreneurial opportunity H
ow many times have we dreamed of creating an entrepreneurial venture from the germ of an idea? We all cross paths with people every day who fantasize as we do, about embarking on an entrepreneurial journey. But there is an everpresent hesitancy that arises due to, among other factors, the inherent risks associated with embarking on that journey. However, it is quite possible to eliminate some of the risks if one zealously engages in a sensible, strategic process when investigating a potential venture creation. Such a process should always begin with a search for the right venture idea for you for which you may ultimately source funding and establish a structure to exploit that opportunity in the marketplace. Such a process may, at first glance, appear simple and straightforward, but there are some crucial elements within each step of the journey that do empower aspiring entrepreneurs to minimize risk and ultimately embrace a successful launch.
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young Let’s explore a bit for a moment. The world is full of ideas, virtually limitless. Thus, there are no lack of opportunities today as well. In fact, arguably there are more opportunities present today than there have ever been in history. An opportunity is simply an idea worth pursuing. Entrepreneurial opportunities can arise, for example, from social and technological change within our society. And, the changes we’re going through now, both socially and technologically and in both magnitude and rate, are definitely greater than we might ever expect to see. So where is the next million dollar idea come opportunity hiding, waiting to be discovered? The answer is within you. Remember one of my old dictums that states an entrepreneur looks
at the world the same as everyone else but thinks differently. An entrepreneur looks at the world and sees solutions instead of continuing problems. Still, a great idea alone doesn’t logically guarantee success—an entrepreneur needs to be able to recognize when a concept has a realistic and potentially realizable chance to become something tangible and “hit it out of the park.” Thus, opportunity recognition is the mantra of clear choice for our entrepreneurial expedition. How do you recognize this idea that you hope becomes an opportunity for you? What exactly does this little creature look like? It does, in reality, has to do with analyzing both the product or service in relation to the market you hope it will serve and explore if they may intersect favourably. I have assembled over the years prior to my move to the Okanagan, to assist my Saskatchewan clients, associates, friends and students something I call an Opportunity Screening Guide.
It will take a bagful of ideas and filter the good from the not so good with a desired outcome of discovering one or two ideas
‘‘
SO WHERE IS THE NEXT MILLION DOLLAR IDEA COME OPPORTUNITY HIDING, WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED? THE ANSWER IS WITHIN YOU.
that may logically be moved to a business plan milestone toward venture launch. And, I have always simply stated to all that “if your perceived ideas cannot make it through the Screening Guide safely, then perhaps they are not for you, and that you might skip it and go on to the next dreamscape.” Let me capsulize the following gospel: An idea is an opportunity when it is attractive, durable, timely and is anchored in a product or service that

creates or adds value for its end user. The most successful entrepreneurs are opportunity-focused; they start their journey into the entrepreneurial world, with a focus on what the customer and the marketplace wants and needs and never lose sight of these points. So join me in exploring this screening process: a) Market Demand: We are looking for a potential set of customers in the marketplace who may be currently underserved ( such as our aging population) and who may be looking for a particular product or service to fill a specific need that they have. Such a product or service that adds value to people’s lives is the foundation of a successful entrepreneurial venture and will assist in the product or service selling itself. b) Passion: Always a Joel favourite, as my friends and colleagues will attest. As being passionate about your new product or service increases your ability and enthusiasm to market it. It also makes it easier to
endure the tough times and testing moments of establishing and building your venture. Because you are passionate about your new dream venture, it becomes easier because it has meaning and purpose for you, and you are far more likely to persevere when others may stumble. Being passionate also means you will be more inclined to build your skills, expertise and understanding of the particular product or service you are intending to take to the market. c) Skills: We all develop certain skills through the experiences of our life and our career/ job paths. Most people with then intend to match such skills with a market need to create their “ opportunity.” When launching an entrepreneurial venture, one can draw on a far broader range of skills and experiences to add value to their journey in the marketplace. d) Resources: Access to relevant resources can make the venture launch a reality and even contribute to providing the aspiring entrepreneur with a competitive advantage.
This is a framework of “ the search” in a practical action oriented approach to finding your entrepreneurial opportunity. A quick formula for the idea generation— friends, relatives, school, personal interests, parttime or full-time work, manufacturing directories, libraries, magazines, existing products or services. Plus, I can point you to a website that offers a list of about 50 tools for helping to create entrepreneurial ideas at www. creatingminds.org/tools/ tools_ideation.htm And, if you have an entrepreneurial spirit lying dormant, exploring the content of this article today I am confident will inspire you to think, act and behave entrepreneurially—in your investigation of the entrepreneurial option in your life. Best of luck. Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership coach, consultant and founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

Born February 28, 1935 in Saskatoon and raised in Tisdale, SK, Glen worked as a sales representative and retailer for many years and lived in many places in SK, AB, as well as an adventure to Oahu, Hawaii in 1964-65. Glen and Loretta moved to Kelowna, BC in 1978 when they purchased Fitzgerald’s Arts and Crafts, later renamed Cady Crafts, which they sold in 1994. The “back room” of the store was always filled with model railroaders, other customers and staff, many of whom became lasting friends. In addition to his wife Loretta, Glen will be lovingly missed by his four children Scott, Mitchell (Kim), Heather Wilson, and Brian (Barbara); seven grandchildren Lyndsay (Bill) Henderson and Ashley Cady (David Mazur); Corrie (Dennis) Daubert, Jodi (Drew) Hopkins and Bradley Cady; and Derek Wilson and Jamie (Adam) Lowe; as well as two great-grandchildren, Sadie and Aiden Henderson. Many thanks to Dr. Ron Gore and Jean Gore, and the staff in Unit 4A at Kelowna General Hospital for the care and compassion shown to Glen and the family. At Glen’s request there will be no funeral service. No flowers please. Memorial contributions may be made to Heart and Stroke Fund of Canada.

THE REAL HOME SHOW
Home show will offer ideas for both inside and outside B����-S�� M����� CONTRIBUTOR
Members of the Oka-
nagan chapter of the Canadian Home Builders Association are ready to showcase their products
and skills this month. Billed as ‘The Real Home Show,’ this annual CHBA event takes place
April 16 to 18, hosted at the Kelowna Curling Club on Recreation Avenue in Kelowna.
The theme this year is “Inside Out, Outside In,” a unique opportunity for home owners to check out the best and latest options for fabulous outdoor living and entertaining. There will also be local construction, renovation, trades and home services vendors to meet and discuss how to make the best renovation investments for the best return in your home. Shane Warawa, president of the CHBA’s Okanagan chapter, says this year’s home show offers “an excellent opportunity for our members to showcase to the public the best of what they have to offer.” Local businesses on display will be focused on the elements of home ownership and improvement, said Warawa. The CHBA Okanagan committee has been selective in who is able to have a booth in order to encourage a consistent level of interest throughout the show, he said. “A large percentage of our exhibitors will have hard goods and professional services and trades,” Warawa said. “Our most positive
feedback is about the consistent quality of our exhibitors year after year.” CHBA-Okanagan is a member driven organization says Warawa, and the Home Show is their centerpiece event, which relies heavily on volunteer committee members to plan and organize the details. This year’s co-chairs are Rob Siddon, general manager of Coast Wholesale Appliances, and Margie Rhode, co-owner of Winmar Property Restoration Specialists. “We’ve been working on the show since before Christmas,” said Rhode, whose company is giving away over 1,000 reusable eco-friendly bags to show attendees. “This is a great group of people to work with and we have a lot of fantastic sponsors.” Siddon noted the biggest display will be the 2,000 square-foot outdoor living space, being erected inside the curling club. “That’s where the name comes from,” explained Siddon. “Sponsors have really contributed to show the latest and best options for outdoor living.”
The display will feature a pergola, rock walls, all kinds of BBQs, outdoor furnishings and a large hot tub. More than 80 vendors will fill the booths featuring flooring, countertops, glass, landscapers, renovators and more, says Siddon. “This is a ‘true’ builder’s show. We call it The Real Home Show because it focuses on the homeowner who is working on their home and investing in it.” Each year, the CHBA Okanagan home show attracts more than 4,000 visitors. The Friday evening is typically one of the slower times in terms of attendance, so it could be the right time for people to take a longer look at what is on display. Admission is $5 at the door per person, children 16 and under are free.
HOME SHOW HOURS
Friday April 16, 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday April 17, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday April 18, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Cap News columnist ready to share his gardening expertise Watch for local gardening guru Don Burnett on the live stage at The Real Home Show. Burnett will be bringing his extensive knowledge of pruning, planting and planning to his stage presentation. Burnett, who writes a weekly gardening column for the Capital News and hosts a weekly radio talk show Saturday mornings on AM 1150, plans to demonstrate new styles of patio baskets and planter made of selected peren-
nials for a different and intriguing look. He will also be covering spring gardening topics including pruning shrubs and trees. The question and answer period following Burnett’s presentations will be a fantastic opportunity to get answers to vexing gardening questions and more general gardening advice. Burnett expects to hear an array of questions, and he feels confident he’ll be able to an-
Don Burnett swer most of them. “After all I have been doing this since I was 14 years old,” he said.
Home show prizes are impressive Get ready for barbecue season at the 2010 Inside Out, Outside In Home Show, by possibly winning a fabulous outdoor kitchen, presented by Coast Appliances. Ballots will be handed out with your $5 home show admission. This $6,000 outdoor kitchen will make your backyard the most popular destination on your block. Featuring a large barbecue grill, secondary burner, storage space, a small refrigeration unit and tile-surfaced to complete the look, this dream, outdoor kitch-
en will change the way you think about cooking. Other prizes will include the donation by Terasen Gas of a gas grill. You can enter to win at the Astral Media Radio booth with a donation to benefit the Have a Heart Radiothon to benefit the KGH children’s ward. FortisBC will also be giving out 2,500 compact fluorescent light bulbs. As well, Winmar Property Restoration Specialist and Norelco Cabinetry will be giving out reusable bags.

Kitchen renovation trends always reveal new options No matter how small or large a home kitchen might be, the details in a renovation can be limitless. The easiest element to define may be the budget, but that presumes it can’t be nudged in the preferences of personal style. Locally owned and operated Norelco Cabinets and its sister company, Cucina Del Re, employ approximately 70 people between their two plants, producing a mix of quality and luxury finished cabinet options. The companies work with wood options that are Forest Stewardship Council certified. One of Norelco’s environmental initiatives is to offer alternative wood types such as alder, bamtboo, and alowood. For new home construction, Norelco is able to provide LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points to builders. Carolyn London, sales and design consultant with Norelco, says she is seeing some clear trends in local cabinet choices from consumers. “Traditional remains the most popular style, with contemporary close behind,” London said. While maple remains the most popular wood choice, mid-range to lighter stain choices are being made and painted cabinets in white and off-white are gaining popularity. Construction design choices are getting more complex, noticeable for example in kitchen islands that are taking on more of a “furniture feel.” Hand-carved corbels, hoods, doors and panels are a customizing specialty for Cucina Del Re. Quartz is fast gain-
AN EXAMPLE above of how a kitchen (original state on the left) can be renovated and given an exciting new look (right photo). ing on stalwart favourite granite when it comes to countertops. All of the customization and options have homeowners looking to extend their distinctive choices to other rooms in their homes, says London, “Home entertainment cabinetry, bars, home office, people are looking for built in pieces throughout their home.” For homeowners in need of a quick redo of their existing kitchen, Randy Faerber and Colin Gibbs, from Kitchen Pro, have been steadily renovating existing cabinets and kitchens in Kelowna for four years now. The company has seen steady growth and has recently moved into an upgraded shop despite the recession. Kitchen Pro specializes in refacing existing kitchen cabinets, a speedy alternative to ripping out a kitchen. A refacing can be completed in less than
two and a half days, while keeping the kitchen in use during the process. One of the bonuses of the refacing option is that it allows homeowners to make incremental investments in their renovating plans. “You can keep the footprint and not worry about redoing the floor that might have been done only a few years ago,” said Faerber. The company can also add a kitchen island, reconfigure existing cabinets and generally reuse what is already in the home. Faerber says their approach to work with what is available can save time and money. “Within the ability of the kitchen, we can do a lot of work.” Kitchens remain the heart of the home for many Kelowna families, and whether it is a new space, a renovation of an existing space on any size budget, Kelowna kitchen companies can deliver on any dream.

Hardwood and tile flooring styles continue to open up new options B����-S�� M����� CONTRIBUTOR
Hardwood floors can now be had in almost any wood, plank size and finish imaginable. It is a far cry from what was available in 1992 when Steve and Debbie Everitt and their partner Otto Lohn took over Okanagan Hardwood Flooring. Eighteen years ago, the customer product choices were entirely different for a business that was first opened in 1964. “In 1992, we has 2 1/4 and 3 1/4 inch wide maple and red oak to choose
from,” laughed Steve Everitt as he recalls back to when they purchased the store. “It was totally different.” Okanagan Hardwood sells both pre-finished and natural hardwood floors. On-site sanding and finishing makes up about two-thirds of their business. “That is against industry trends,” says Everitt. “Most of the hardwood market is the reverse with about two thirds prefinished installation.” There are advantages and disadvantages to each of the two options. Pre-finished floors are
generally faster to install, while many in home finished floors can be refinished at a later date more easily. Some consumers are incredibly knowledgeable about hardwood when they get to Okanagan Hardwood, but Everitt and his staff also work with people who are just starting out and exploring the longevity and costs associated with each type of flooring. “In today’s market customers are so varied in what they have already learned, to what they want in terms of style,” says Everitt. “There are just so
many options that we can do.” There has been a recent shift after the recession with more customers looking at wide plank flooring and more exotic and expensive options again. “People are starting to come out of recession mode. While the budget conscious customer is still there, larger projects are coming on stream.” It was during the recession that Okanagan Hardwood underwent a massive renovation of their own, doubling their floor space and adding a second business, Okanag-
HARDWOOD FLOORING options are so varied that homeowners need to think carefully about what style will best suit their home and lifestyle. an Tile, to their mix. The tile venture started small two years ago, and now has 1,500 square feet of European style display space with hundreds of tile options grouped by
colour. Glass, slate, marble, porcelain, even stainless steel tiles are available. Unlike hardwood flooring which is subject to longer term trend lines,

Everitt says tile is designer driven and changes seasonally. “Right now there is a mix of choices between earthy and modern,” he said. “The industry is very sophisticated and manufacturers rapidly move to offer the latest option against their competitors. “Tile is constantly changing, manufacturers scramble to achieve the next look.” Okanagan Tile offers almost every texture and colour imaginable, as Everitt says they have sought to make the displays as simple as possible. “You can bring in your paint samples and countertop and make the right choice quickly.”

Many homeowners turn to home security systems for peace of mind, a break on their home insurance and the ability to leave their home under watch while they travel. Today’s home security system is best defined by the customization to each home and home owner, creating solutions that fit every budget and need.

In the ThompsonOkanagan corridor, homeowners within reasonable distance of community centres are able work with Kaland’s trained teams to find the right system for their home and lifestyle.

W HOME SECURITY
Don’t wait until it’s too late E����� ���� B14 qualified and trained consultants who can help determine the right system during and in-home consultation. “We try to give people the basics,” said Kaland. “Then you can add to the system. We work to figure out how much of a system is right for the customer.” Basic systems usually include door and motion sensors, smoke, and 24 hour constant coverage. Carbon monoxide, spot coverage for specific windows are usually the first additions people make. Flooding, temperature monitoring and other options for snowbirds who travel in the winter are also popular add-ons. “The house systems including temperature are so important,” said Kaland. “If you are away the last thing you want is freezing pipes. “When the temperature gets too low, we can call a designated person to go check your home and make certain everything is okay.” Retro-fits and completion of pre-wired new homes are two areas that ADT specializes in. Many older homes can be set up with either a wireless or hardwire system depending on the needs of the customer, and the style of the home. In new home construction, it is typical for the home builder to install the basics, and allow the homeowner at a later date to choose their own security company. ADT has adapted to meet the needs of home owners who use VOIP inrstead of traditional tele-
phone or cable lines for their communication. Without that hardware in use, the company and the customer use a cellular back-up to ensure constant coverage. Homeowners don’t have to worry about what is in place, says Kaland, as ADT can find the right solution. “We can complete pre-wired systems, reprogram existing hardware, do a takeover, we can work with what is existing.” Kaland is happy to remind home owners that all

Central Okanagan students were challenged to illustrate environmentally friendly and healthy forms of transportation.
