New parade float a hit with the kids

Cedar park drama takes new direction

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna residents learned how much paraderelated pomp $50,000 could buy Monday morning, when the newest Ogopogo float was unveiled. “That’s a lot of money, but she seems to like it a lot,” said Kyle Wellman, gesturing to his 18-monthold daughter who was enjoying the sight of a sparkly Ogopogo adorned with two dancing Lady of the Lake representatives. “I suppose that’s a good thing and if it gets around a lot that’s good.” Others passing by the unveiling in Stuart Park were similarly surprised by the cost, although they were also pleased with the appearance of the cityfunded float. “I would have thought it would be cheaper,” said Andrew Schneider, noting that it was nice enough looking. “But I’m not involved enough in the tourism industry to give an educated response about that investment.” Someone who does know a thing or two about the float’s impact on the tourism industry is Clarence Johnson, who’s driven the float since 2007. Through the 20-orso parades and festivals it gets to each year, Johnson has seen the best of times and the worst of times on the old city ambassador that logged 10,000 kilometres during its nine-

year heyday. “It was popular, but it didn’t look good hanging from the back of a towtruck,” he said, recalling a 2009 breakdown in New Westminster. “This one will be a lot better to drive, and it will be smoother.” While locals got a sneak peak of the float, its first official parade appearance will take place Saturday in Osoyoos. It will roll through Kelowna’s streets in June for the Fat Cat Children’s Festival. That audience will likely be pleased with the new, friendlier rendering of the mythical lake beast that came courtesy of local artist Jeff Chiba Stearns. In an explanation of the design that later became reality, he wrote that he wanted the redesign of the Ogopogo to have an updated look that will appeal to all ages. “It was important to create an Ogopogo that was hip, sleek, elegant, beautiful and full of imagination,” he stated. “I gave the Ogopogo large curious eyes to give the design the appeal of friendliness and cuteness. “It was also important to capture some of the traditional folklore associated with the Ogopogo.” It seems he met some of his aims, as the design did get thumbs up from kids, and even some adults, for appearing friendlier. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

In the 11th hour, the anonymous person allegedly willing to ante up $2.3 million to create a park on city property and block a potential development, stepped out of the shadows and saved the day for Kelowna residents lobbying to preserve green space on Cedar Avenue. Or, at the very least, they delayed the day city councillors will make a decision on the proposal to rezone seven waterfront properties to accommodate a boardwalk, park and riparian area with a commercial and residential project. “This morning, while we were at council, I received a voice message from the anonymous donor,” said city clerk Stephen Fleming Monday, before city councillors voted on the controversial topic. “I verified it wasn’t a prank call, and the person does want to enter into some kind of dialogue. This would have potential implications of the financing of this Official Community Plan amendment.” Council, at that point, opted to defer a decision on the issue, and open a new public hearing phase so more information could be gathered. Amid the information to be presented to council before the vote comes to pass will be a report from staff sussing out the legitimacy and conditions of the offer extended. “There are a lot of unanswered questions staff would need to ask,” Fleming said, noting that further investigation into the identity of the donor and their possible terms will have to be completed. Upon learning that the project would be deferred, the crowd that filled council chambers, and the lobby outside the meeting room, broke out in applause, and started filing out of the room. Among the 200-plus leaving council chambers after the announcement was a noticeably pleased Michael Neill. “I’m really happy,” said Neill. “We have an opportunity now to get the right thing done.” The Kelowna businessman has been a significant figure in the fight to turn the seven lakefront properties into development-free park space.

Fending for themselves The HOPE Outreach program is trying to help women living on Kelowna’s streets while advocating for a women’s shelter where they can find safe haven. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

To look at Angie Lohr, you could never tell this successful businesswoman is a former sextrade worker who spent a year living as an addict on the streets of Calgary. Contrary to popular opinion, educated, well-raised, middle-class people do land up on the streets from time to time, she says. “We’ll save horses, we’ll save dogs, we’ll save anybody in this city, but what we need to save—women on the streets. I’m sure it’s because people really don’t know what’s happening,” she said. “I really don’t think anyone would be this heartless if they knew.” Lohr is pretty well heartbroken at the moment. As the head volunteer and founder of HOPE Outreach—a group of volunteers who try to help women living on Kelowna’s streets—she has spent the last few months trying to save a woman from a level of torment that, in fairness, is quite unimaginable for most people. The woman was recently gang-raped. She reported the lengthy assault to the first person she could trust—the HOPE Outreach volunteers. Lohr had set up an RCMP liaison and, between herself and the officer, she found a place for this woman to detox for five days as a first step toward recovering from the traumatic experience, while the RCMP launched an investigation. Due to her addiction, Lohr says the woman, who cannot be named for her own protection, had broken the rules at Alex-

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

ANGIE LOHR holds up a pamplet about the HOPE Outreach program, operated by a group of volunteers who try to help women living on Kelowna’s streets. ander Gardner Women and Children’s Safe Centre already when the assault occurred. Run by NOW Canada, the facility offers the only place for a woman like this to stay. While one can come into AG House drunk or drugged-out, using on site is banned and results in a three- to six-month bar from the facility. “It’s a policy of most low-barrier shelters that you cannot use on site, recruit on site, or if they are violent, then they will be asked to leave,” explained Liz Talbott, NOW Canada executive director. “We have children living there and we have to keep the shelter safe for everybody.” This left only one place for the woman to

turn when her five-day detox was over. Inn from the Cold, a program run on a voluntary basis by the church community, provides a space for men and women to stay the night, though accommodations are mixed. Unfortunately, her rapists were staying at the facility at the time so she couldn’t go there either. As of this week, even this would not be an option as the temporary shelter shut its doors on April 15, not to re-open until next winter. So when her five-day detox ended, so too did her chance at getting off the streets. She was sent back out into the cold, back to the sex trade, which meant back to the drugs she needed to cope with pro-

viding sex for money. There she remained for the better part of another month. She was sexually assaulted again. Thankfully, a housing and treatment program out of town took her in and she was able to access the detox in order to make that move, after some cajoling to explain she didn’t simply blow the first round of detox. She is now well into that treatment program and Lohr has found her another community to transition to once she is done. “This summer is going to be tragic again,” said Lohr, noting the story is only one of a dozen or more she could provide from women living on local streets.

Her volunteers regularly escort women to the lake to bath because they have no other place for them to go. The women worry they will be sexually assaulted if they go down to the lake on their own. Men who are on the streets in Kelowna can sleep at The Gospel Mission, can then access housing and treatment the Gospel Mission operates, housing and treatment Freedom’s Door runs, the John Howard Society’s housing, Inn from the Cold, and so forth. For women, the entrylevel, straight from the street options are very limited. “We need an emergency shelter for women only so they don’t have to stand on a street corner,”

said Lohr. The solution is simple, in Lohr’s eyes. Get some base-funding, find a space, a worker and give women in desperate need a place to stay so they don’t have to endure such suffering. And yet, while she has approached the mayor with the problem and MP Ron Cannan, both politicians facing re-election this year, no one has stepped up to answer her repeated pleas for help. Cannan, she said, looked most concerned when she told him about it in person, but has not responded to any of her recent emails. Lohr figures a temporary shelter could be run for as little as $175,000 a year, based on estimates she’s received from friends who run private shelters. Christine Walsh, drug policy coordinator for the Central Okanagan Regional District, says that cost is more like $700,000. “This is probably the main reason I’ve been advocating for a sobering centre,” said Walsh, who admits she hasn’t gotten very far. Walsh says the population Lohr is talking about is extremely small, and that the better use of resources would be to establish a facility where anyone can go to stay for 24 hours, which will guarantee a bed in treatment in the aftermath. Sobering centres exist in Victoria, one is opening in Surrey, there is one each in Portland and Seattle. But half a decade after recommendations to get one in Kelowna were made, she cannot say the city is any closer to fulfilling the need. See FendingA4

Women’s resource centre to close It has been a tireless and passionate struggle for coordinator Micki Smith the past 20 years to keep the perennially under-funded Kelowna Women’s Resource Centre open. Those efforts came to a sudden and disappointing halt this week, as the resource centre announced its permanent closure, effective April 27. The decision has come after years of financial struggle to keep the doors open,” said a press release issued Tuesday by the women’s centre. “Provincial government funding to women’s centres around the province ended in 2004. Since that time, we have struggled to remain open to the community with dedicated volunteers, one fulltime staff member, and very few resources. The centre has relied on gaming funding, project funding and grant funding through Status of Women Canada. But these funds have either been reduced or eliminated. “We are extremely grateful for community and member donations and support. As our struggle has been publicized over the last few months, various community members and groups have supported us a great deal.” The women’s resource centre will host a “closing house” on Wednesday, April 27, from 5 to 7 p.m. As well, there will be a garage sale at the centre on Saturday, May 14. If you are as concerned as we are about the erosion of women’s equality and the essential support services in our community, we urge you to contact your local MLAs and MPs,” said the KWRC news release.

Women living on the streets will intensify during the summer Fending from A3 “It’s another financial burden on an over-

stretched system and how do you demonstrated that one area is the most in need?” she said.

Walsh says she agrees an “alternative to crack shacks and prisons” is needed, but said, without

the right staffing supports in place, she fears any attempt at a temporary shelter would just set women

up for further failure. Interior Health is the body which would fund such a scheme and it doesn’t have the money. In the meantime, Lohr says she’s doing what she can but desperately needs more help.

With Inn From the Cold closing last Friday, there are women on the streets of Kelowna with literally nowhere to go, she said. The one support she has received assistance from, Kelowna Women’s

Resource Centre which offered administrative services as the young nonprofit established itself, now has announced it will close its doors for good after years of struggling to find funding. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Two plead guilty to trafficking illicit drugs

EXTRA LEAN

Cheryl Wierda fSTAFF REPORTER Two people have admitted they were involved in a drug trafficking ring with ties in Kelowna and several northern B.C. communities. On Monday morning, Lawna Leigh Chamberlain, 39, and Jason Gerald Tamblyn, 28, pleaded guilty to trafficking cocaine and ecstasy in Kelowna, Terrace, Prince George and Prince Rupert over a seven month period between February and September, 2008. The police investigation into the trafficking was first publicized in September 2008, when RCMP executed a dozen search warrants in Kelowna and Terrace. During the searches, police went through five homes and a night club— which has since closed— in the Kelowna area. They said then that they seized over half a kilogram of cocaine, $7,000 cash, two rifles, two handguns and two vehicles from the homes, while six flaps of cocaine, two dozen ecstasy tablets and half an ounce of powdered cocaine were allegedly seized from the Liquid Zoo. The searches in Terrace included four houses, one hotel room and one industrial shop and resulted in the seizure of firearms, vehicles, cash and a small amount of marijuana, police said shortly after the searches. On the day the searches took place, police said they were investigating what they believed to be a Terrace-based drug trafficking ring that had drugs repackaged in Kelowna before they were redistributed in the Terrace and Prince Rupert areas. The charges that Chamberlain and Tamblyn pleaded guilty to on Monday stem from the investigation that led to the 2008 searches. Their specific roles in the drug trafficking ring were not indicated in court on Monday. Pre-sentence reports have been ordered for the duo and Chamberlain and Tamblyn, who remain on bail, are scheduled to return to a Kelowna courtroom the week of Oct. 3 for their sentencing. cwierda @kelownacapnews.com

Researching your genealogy could lead to a Royal connection Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Mary Nettleton Read of Kelowna is writing a letter to invite her fourth cousin once removed, to come to tea when she visits Canada this year. But, she’s not sure what sort of response she’ll get from Kate Middleton, who plans to visit Canada as part of a Royal tour planned two months after her honeymoon, with her new husband, Prince William. They will be arriving June 30, for their first official visit together—a nine-day trip across the country. Read says she discovered the connection as part of her genealogy research, which she’s been interested in for the past 15 years. It began because her mother was interested in genealogy, but she didn’t

become involved until her mother died in 1996 and she inherited all the information. However, her mother hadn’t made use of the Internet, and Read says that has opened up a whole new world to those interested in learning more about their ancestors. Read’s grandparents came to Canada early in the last century from England, with her dad’s parents homesteading in Saskatchewan in 1903, coming from Leeds,Yorkshire; and her mother’s parents there in 1928, coming from Cumberland in the Lakes District of England. It’s on her father’s side that the connection to Middleton comes, with Read’s great great grandfather, Samuel Asquith (born in about 1816), a younger brother of Kate’s great great great grandfather, Joseph Asquith, both of Leeds, Yorkshire.

MARY NETTLETON READ with a photo of her fourth cousin once removed. “She’s not a direct ancestor, but we have a common ancestor,” explained Read. Kate’s father would be Read’s fourth cousin, and Read’s children would be Kate’s fifth cousins. “It’s kinda cool; a real conversation piece,” comments Read. After all, she says, “Kate is the sparkling light; she brings a

human side to the Royal family.” Although she’s a commoner she has grace and poise and is well-educated. In fact, the Royal bride-to-be met her Royal husband at college, notes Read. Genealogists look for famous people in their family trees, she explained. Previous-

ly, the famous people in her family tree were the Niedermayer brothers, of National Hockey League fame. Searching out your ancestors is like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, except you’re never really finished. Once you’ve assembled what you can of your

own family tree, you can carry on out as far as you want along each of those many branches, even tracking down current relations around the world. Read has visited cousins in Australia and other parts of the world, and works, online, with a number of them to discover more relationships or stories about their common ancestors. For instance, she tells the story of finding one of her ancestors still living in England, whose great grandfather’s brother was Read’s great grandfather. He still had letters which had been written from Saskatchewan by Read’s great grandfather. “The letters talked about how very cold they were. My father had to go to town to sell a cello to get the money to buy some coal,” related Read. They’ve also shared photos online in which ancestors are identified by each other. She admits to being obsessed by the search and what she’s discovered, but says, “I’m amazed at the number of people out there today looking for their roots. Sometimes they flounder around, but you need to know how to organize your research.” That’s where mem-

bership in the Kelowna and District Genealogical Society comes in handy, because there are many members there with the experience and background to guide new genealogists in the right direction. Read says birth, marriage and death certificates are often available online, and are helpful, solid pieces of information to use in doing research. As well, the Mormon Church here has a family search centre which provides a lot of genealogical information that’s helpful in a search. Census information is also invaluable. To start with, begin by building your family tree using information you already have, then branch out using census information, certificates and so on.

W PRICE OF DEMOCRACY

Park donation raises questions W

atching the bizarre ends to which the parade of park proponents will go to try to save a small strip of waterfront property in the South Pandosy area this week, I think we have to ask ourselves one big question: Is it really democracy if you can buy your own way? If you follow current events of any kind these days, you probably understand that the fight for democracy and democratic freedom has turned much of our world on end at the moment. In a very real sense, we are all paying far more for this value. Upheaval in the Middle East, where various dictators have kept tight rein on wealth and power, has every one of us paying higher gas prices, food prices and experiencing a serious spike in inflation. And while the $1.40a-litre gas price heading our way is a lot to take in, not to mention the cost of red peppers and milk, anyone who takes the time to listen to the story of Mohamed Bouazizi, the young produce vendor who burned himself outside a municipal office igniting revolt in Tunisia and several surrounding countries, knows we aren’t paying anything by comparison. In Bahrain, a prominent human rights activist has been arrested and beaten along with his sons-in-law, leaving one

Rally for animal welfare Local municipal officials and federal election candidates have been invited to attend a rally on Saturday at Gellatly Bay in West Kelowna in memory of the 100 sled dogs that were killed by their owner in Whistler Rally organizer Sarah Parson said social media has played a large role in recruiting members to a grassroots group that wants to see Canada’s animal welfare legislation improved. The rally will take place from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Similar vigils will be held in every Canadian province along with six other countries on the same day, April 23.

WORDSMITH

Jennifer Smith daughter to stage a hunger strike in hopes of catching U.S. President Barack Obama’s attention. In Egypt, women spent International Women’s Day last month lamenting the stranglehold men still have on power in their country, despite unprecedented female participation in the recent revolution. Only one women was sworn into office in the new government. Then you look at Kelowna’s city council, where it appears logical arguments, careful planning, listening to the public and democratic decision-making by elected officials can all be trumped by a very small pay-off. Late last week, an

“anonymous donor” told city officials he or she would pay $2.3 million to see a property originally slated for park, which city planners want to see turned into a linear park and mixed-use development, stay a park. That was all it took to send the city planning department’s recommendations backwards. While a decision on the matter was due this week, council instead decided to roll the public process back and reopened the public hearing to consider the fact someone is now willing to pay to get their way. In other words, from this point forward, if it looks like a development decision won’t swing in a given developer’s favour, the company or property owner can now feel free to pay someone off—provided it’s done publicly. While democracy may have a huge human cost around the world, at the moment, here in Kelowna, we hand it over for a couple of million.

I mean, if you were a developer in the area whose finances were tied in knots because you couldn’t sell your own building or planned building due to this new proposal, wouldn’t you finagle the cash to make it all go away? If you had a view from your property that renders it worth millions more, wouldn’t you too trump up a little stumping fund to ensure others don’t block your lakescape? It may sound a little conspiracy theory-ish, but honestly, you’re talking about a group who are literally willing to beat one another over the head with their messaging. On the surface it may look like Michael Neill was the only one felled for a cause this week when a piece of a sign fell on him at last Saturday’s rally, but from a realistic point of view, I think it’s really the average Kelowna taxpayer who really got kicked in the head with this latest move.

W OUR VIEW

Look for fall provincial election

he election of Adrian Dix last weekend as the new leader of the NDP all but guarantees we will see a provincial election this fall. Dix, the candidate of the leftist element of the NDP constituency in this province, defeated the more centrist candidate, Mike Farnworth. That was a decision that now draws a clear distinction in the political sand between the NDP and Liberals, and one Premier Christy Clark is probably thankful for.

Dix, who has been a frequent visitor to the Central Okanagan as the NDP’s health critic and appeared to have solid delegate support in our local ridings, is a throw-back to the Glen Clark era when the NDP were in power during the ‘90s. Dix served as Clark’s chief of staff until he was forced to resign. Expect to hear a lot about that decade, and how B.C. did economically during those years, as the political game of revisionist history is played out. During his leadership cam-

250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575

paign, Dix pledged to roll back corporate tax cuts, to restore a minimum tax on banks and to increase support for students and seniors. In other words, he has written off the corporate vote, reaffirming the NDP’s leftist policy base, and will make a push to win the independent voters who can swing Liberal or NDP in a given election. For Clark, Dix’s victory will give her the opportunity to draw a clear line of separation between two different governing philosophies.

Those philosophies will have to engage issues that British Columbians face such as with health care and education spending, who will carry the taxation load to pay for all the services we demand if the HST referendum is defeated, a continuing escalation of taxes that are not being matched by private sector wage increases, the need to protect our environment from ourselves…on and on it goes, lots of questions and fewer intelligent answers—at least, hopefully, until this fall.

He even made a refother parties many times to have bills erence to Twitter in critiquing Conser- and budgets passed. Under his new vative polices: “hashtag: fail.” definition, wasn’t that a coalition?

natieff, he continues to fail to ignite a groundswell of national support for his campaign and party. The Conservatives attack ads portraying him as a political carpetbagger, as meanspirited as they were, appear to have worked with many voters. While Harper is seen by his detractors as a cold fish, Ignatieff is viewed by his opponents as indifferent and aloof. Meanwhile, the Bloc’s Giles Duceppe seems more intent on telling his constituents—Quebec voters— neither he nor Layton are going to be prime minister. The attempted inference maybe “don’t vote for the NDP” but it comes across as “don’t bother voting for me either.” So it is Layton who appears, according to the polls, to be connecting

with the public. Canadians view him is the most popular leader but leader popularity does not always translate into votes. Layton may be striking a chord but Duceppe is right, he is not about to become prime minister. Then there is Green Party leader Elizabeth May. She is battling just to be heard. But her message is not getting through. Locally, the two Central Okanagan campaigns should start to heat up this week with several all-candidates meetings scheduled. It is at those meetings where the public gets to see the candidates together and contrast their styles, messages and appeal. Last week Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal Kris Stewart went after Conservative incumbent Ron Cannan

for the sins of a committee he was not on when it took comments by federal Auditor General Sheila Fraser out of context. Cannan said his name was on the report because he was on the committee when the report was tabled, not when the report was written. Stewart didn’t buy it, saying Cannan should have done his homework and been aware of what was happening. The story didn’t go farther. Politically, it was a good attempt but, given the traditionally strong support any Conservative candidate enjoys here, it will take a stronger issue to make headway. To use Layton’s new found phase: hashtag: fail. Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor.

W SENIORS CENTRE PLAN

Seniors deserve to spend time in ‘a palace’ To the editor: My elderly father called and told me that they were building a new seniors’ centre, but he wasn’t happy to hear that it would be smaller than the old one. He hinted that maybe I could write a letter, so, this one’s for you, dad. This facility has been my father’s livelihood since he retired after working all his life. He and many others go there faithfully to visit with old friends and new friends, play pool, cards, have a coffee or two and visit with others his age. Sometimes they talk about family, or health issues and have a few laughs. They have be-

come family to him. Either widowed or lonely, they all have one thing in common—they are elderly and are a big part of our town . They have worked all their lives and deserve a comfortable, spacious centre with all the bells and whistles. Why would someone want to cram them into a smaller facility? The senior population will never go away, it will only get larger, as we are not getting any younger. There are multiple day cares bigger than this one, as well as youth centres and huge night clubs for the middle aged people, but very few places for seniors.

And now you want to take the space they have and take it from them? Instead you should be giving them more space as they don’t only deserve it, they also deserve our respect. And taking their place and building a marina just lets them know how important they are in this town . Why can’t the city just let them alone, or if you’re going to move them, at least move them into a palace, not a sardine can. My father will be 80 this year and I know where I want him to spend his time—in a palace. Lynndell Gibson, Westbank

W FEDERAL ELECTION

Candidate’s wife takes names for husband to answer questions at unspecified later date To the editor: I was very impressed with the letter from the writer of Former Red Tory Disenchanted with Harper (April 15 Capital News), who I agree with completely. As I sat on my front steps enjoying my coffee and reading your paper, vehicles started parking half on, half off the only two-lane access road into our neighborhood. To the tune of blaring horns from both directions, as residents tried to go about their weekend activities without hitting them, the occupants unloaded children and the elderly into the middle of the road with their propaganda. No, they were not a religious organization, they were political. After a long wait for their leader, (still in the middle of the road with one child in a stroller!) the wife of the incumbent arrived with apolo-

gies for not being better organized. Off they went, and a more perfect example of voter demographics would have been hard to find, except for the fact that all of them were walking on the wrong side of the road, sometimes three abreast with the baby in the stroller in the middle. I waited as she approached and I smiled as she asked how my day was going. I said it had been going very well. She would not reply to any of my questions about your excellent article: Liberal Challenger Takes Aim at Cannan (April 15 Capital News) which was on my knees. She had told everyone with her not to answer any questions, but to take personal information and her husband would get in touch. I wondered why his answers had to be said privately. No answer.

As she turned to leave she said they were really only there to “make sure everyone votes.” Who gave her that job can only be guessed at, but I thought that was our decision to make, not hers. Obviously, her real mission was damage control about her husband’s incompetence in not checking what reports his name was on, or worse. I’m sure her only concern was the loss of his well paying job with its gold-plated pension. I know most of my neighbours knew what was going on. I only hope most other voters can see that it is time for a change, both nationally and in my favourite place, KelownaLake Country. Doug Maves, Kelowna

* $1,000,000 Stops ignored Political donations shouldn’t get tax break To the editor: I found out that the laws, while driving on the roads here in Westbank, are slightly different than driving on the roads in Edmonton, where I recently moved from. I was under the impression that stop signs meant “stop” no matter where you live. It seems stop signs here mean “stop” only if you feel like it. Bonnie Barr, Westbank

To the editor: Mr. Harper’s plan to cancel public funding for political parties, in my view, is a very negative thing. For him to say that taxpayers are paying to support parties they don’t support is false. This is because each party, only after they reach a threshold, gets $2 for each vote they get. So realistically they only get the $2 from the taxpayers that support them in an election and nothing from the voters

that support other parties. Those taxpayer’s $2 go to whatever party they support. On the other hand, if one donates a larger amount to a party they support they get quite a generous tax credit for that donation. So realistically taxpayers, including those that support different parties, are subsidizing that donator. So in this case it would be true that taxpayers’ money is used to support a party that they don’t support. My concern is that Harper’s

W BOYCOTT GAS

Consumer wants to start boycott on buying gas To the editor: Enough is enough. Gas prices are becoming exorbitant. It is time to take control of our expenses and let the large gas conglomerates know that our pockets are not deep enough to

accommodate the greed that now exists in their world. It is time to show we have power. It’s time to start a no buy gas program. Please everyone, get on board. Do not buy gas

on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday from any gas station. Let’s hit them in their pocket book for a change. You have the power. Use it. D. Furbank, Kelowna

plan will give big money much control on government policies. Much like in the United States. Also special interest groups would be able to have a greater influence. So, I feel it would make more sense to cut back on the generous tax credits on big money donators and increase public funding. This would be more democratic. By the people for the people rather than by big money for big money. Orest Swintak, Kelowna

the wings to fund a public park that had an estimated cost of $2.3 million. “My word was good …but I’m just as surprised as you are,” he said, after being asked whether he knew the donor came forth that morning, and why he or she wouldn’t offer up any information about their identity. “Maybe some people don’t need to have their name in the spotlight.” While others in the audience were content with the process being extended, area resident Bob Whitehead pointed out that enough information was given to council during a marathon public

hearing two weeks earlier, to put an end to the issue altogether. “As far as I’m concerned, (council) heard enough to have made a decision in favour of the park,” he said. Others were leery about the factor that scuttled the process. “My concern is the timing of the anonymous caller seems strange,” said Jack Harris, a Kelowna resident who favours parkland. “I suspect the terms and conditions won’t be agreed to, but I’m pleased it won’t be developed, yet.” Selling just half of the 2.3 acre parcel of land to a developer who would have to build a 2.5 to four –storey, commercial and residential development was the method the city chose to finance a linear park in the South Pandosy area.

The linear park— which has been criticized for being little more than a sidewalk—would run in front of the lake, and connect a system of parks around Okanagan Lake. A smaller, conventional park and riparian area would be part of the new plan. City staffers have argued that a development in the area would create a steady flow of activity in the area. Also, if the area is developed as parkland it won’t be a place for swimming, as the water is less than ideal. A stagnant stream in the area collects bacteria from visiting wildlife, and seeps into the beach area. There’s no time frame on when the report including new information will be given to council. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Okanagan Lake has pretty much put this valley on the map, but its assets are being taken for granted, says a visiting water expert. “B.C. residents use more water per capita than anyone else,” said Daisy Foster, CEO of the 4,400 member B.C. Water and Waste Association in the city for a conference. British Columbians soak up 490 litres of water a day, per person. While Kelowna residents use 460 litres a day. That’s a significantly higher figure than the average Canadian’s use of 350 litres a day, and it doubles American’s consumption. Strangely enough,

however, the average Canadian thinks they’re pretty thrifty when it comes to doling out H20. “(They) think they use 79 litres a day,” said Fostser, adding that 44 per cent admit to the fact they waste water while another 25 per cent have no idea where water comes from, or goes to. Those simple shortcomings in B.C. residents’ knowledge base have prompted the organization to launch a public awareness campaign to teach B.C. residents “the value of water, what a positive resource it is and what they can do to protect it.” It’s a cause close to Kelowna officials’ hearts, so they joined B.C. Water & Waste Association, other municipalities and

the province to officially proclaim Drinking Water Week May 1 to 7. “The most important thing we want B.C. residents to know is that there is too much water being wasted and there are many things each individual can to do to save water,” she said. “Our aim is to educate the public so they do know where their water comes from, where it goes when they’re finished and what an impact they personally can make.” Wednesday is the last day of the conference at the Delta Grand Okanagan. The public is invited to check out the Drinking Water Week booth at See Water A13

Anyone in the market for a bit of election-related, youth activism should head to the Sails at the end of Bernard Avenue, Thursday afternoon. Already 200 students have said they’ll be heading to the local contriburtion of Vote Mobs that have been sweeping the country. Vote Mobs have been organized by Canadian tuniversity students, as a tresponse to TV personality, Rick Mercer’s call for youth involvement this election. Once gathered, stutdents will shoot their own video, showcasing their determination to have their voices heard in the May 2 election. Organizers are asking participants to don their most Canadian outfits—red mittens would be handy—and bring any noise makers they have. Anything bright and fun that will grab the attention of the political leaders saying that youth are voting May 2. Local candidates are expected to attend the event, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. For more information go votemob.ca and find Kelowna-UBCO. A Facebook page dedicated to the cause is also in place.

Cost for copper wire theft absorbed by taxpayers Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Copper wire theft appears to be the newest way to make a quick buck and as cops struggle to put a lid on the crime they’re turning to both the public and provincial government for some help. “We’re asking people to be our eyes and ears,” said Supt. Bill McKinnon during one of his regular crime statistics updates for city politicians. “If you see someone standing at light (posts) and pulling wire call us. “(Thieves) pull strands and they can go on for hundreds of yards, and there’s hundreds of dollars that can be made.” While thieves do what they can to put hundreds of dollars in their pockets, they’re also sucking cash from taxpayers.

Bill McKinnon “Around $160,000 of copper wire has been stolen from the City of Kelowna in the last few months,” said McKinnon, prompting Mayor Sharon Shepherd to point out that will impact local taxes. Coun. Andre Blanleil asked McKinnon what local governments could do to snuff out the crime, but learned it would be better to kick the issue up a level. “I would encourage

the province to take steps to get involved,” said McKinnnon. He explained that if one community puts in measures to block the sale of copper, it will just be sold in another city or town. “It’s a problem in every community because the cost of copper wire.” In other areas city crime, McKinnon reported a downward trend. Robberies fell by 33 per cent, assaults dropped 22 per cent, break and enters saw a 39 per cent reduction and auto theft fell 36 per cent. McKinnon pointed out that one of the more heartening stats, which may be attributed to recent legislation, was that impaired driving offences were down 59 per cent, while car crashes fell 32 per cent.

Pro career beckons Barrie

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

MEMBERS of the Kelowna Rockets salute the fans Sunday at Prospera Place after being eliminated from the 2011 WHL playoffs. CINDY ROGERS/CONTRIBUTOR

Season of progression for Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A second-round playoff exit never sits well with Bruce Hamilton. But considering where his Kelowna Rockets were in late October and where they journeyed to by mid-April, the club’s president and GM doesn’t have to search far for positives from the 2010-11 campaign. The Rockets recovered from a horrific 4-10 start to post 43 regular season wins and their first B.C. Division title in seven seasons. They then swept the Prince George Cougars in the opening round of the playoffs, before going down to defeat in six games to the high-powered, Western Conference-champion Portland Winterhawks. “I remember saying to Lorne (Frey) back in October, we’re going to be picking first in the bantam draft in every round

because we’re going to be last. It didn’t look good,” said Hamilton. “We had a group of guys that weren’t buying in to what the coaches were doing, but once they did and once things started to turn, we were on our way. I thought we got better and learned how to compete. If you would have told people at the beginning of November that we’d end up where we did, they would have laughed at you. Our coaches did a great job.” That the Rockets were able to push a team of Portland’s pedigree to six games was an encouraging sign for Hamilton and the Rockets. Yet, the GM said the series also accentuated one of his team’s main deficiencies—size, or rather a lack of it. Kelowna’s roster featured eight skaters under six feet and only four players who weighed 200 pounds or more. Conversely, the Winterhawks have just five players below six feet,

and 11 players tipping the scales at over 200 pounds. “We got caught with too many smaller players and as you can see against Portland, they’re probably the biggest team in our league,” said Hamilton. “In order to compete this time of year you need size, little guys wear down and just can’t have too many of them. You can have a few skilled guys and we’re going to but we’re not going to have nearly as many players in the size brackets in the future here.” With the likes of Tyson Barrie, Evan Bloodoff, Geordie Wudrick and Mitchell Callahan not expected back next year, the Rockets will have some key holes to plug on their 2011-12 roster. Still, with returning players such as Shane McColgan, Colton Sissons, Zach Franko, Brett Bulmer and Damon Severson, and up-and-coming blue liners Madison Bowey and Jesse Lees in the mix, Hamilton likes

the foundation the Rockets will have to work with. Add in the toughness of youngsters Jessey Astles and Tyrell Goulbourne, and the Rockets also expect to have a more physical bent to their game next season. And more than any aspect of the team, the WHL club is secure in the knowledge it will start with steady goaltending. “I think we’re very solid in net, anticipating Adam (Brown) to be back and Jordon (Cooke) to be back,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “We’ll probably have the best goaltending tandem in the league in my opinion and that’ll allow us to sort of get our group some confidence by having good goaltending. “I’m excited, I think we have a good returning team for next year, with some work and commitment to team play I think we can be a team that makes some noise.” With the progress the

team had made over the last two seasons, Bruce Hamilton expects the Rockets will take another step forward in 2011-12. And it all starts with training camp next fall. “We’re finished with the re-tool and are on to the get-going side of it,” he said. “It’ll make for a very competitive camp next year. Nobody is guaranteed anything, that’s the nature of the business. “The main thing we make clear to them is they won’t come in and waste the first two months thinking you’re going to get comfortable. You gotta be ready to get going right off the hop. Our coaching staff is going to expect that next year.” The next order of business for Hamilton, assistant GM Lorne Frey and the Rockets is the WHL bantam draft May 5 in Calgary. Kelowna will have the 15th choice overall. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

It wasn’t the way Tyson Barrie wanted to end his days in major junior hockey. Still, the chance to begin his pro career in the next few days might at least help take some of the sting out of the Kelowna Rockets’ second round exit from the Western Hockey League playoffs. Barrie is headed for Denver this week to meet with the Colorado Avalanche, then is expected to join their American Hockey League affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters. Lake Erie—based in Cleveland—is currently taking on the Manitoba Moose in the AHL playoffs. “It’s always tough when the season comes to an end, but going to Lake Erie will be new and exciting for me,” the 5-foot10, 189-pound Barrie said Monday on the impending start of his professional career. “I’ve never gone to play pro hockey before, so it’s a pretty exciting time. I’m looking forward to it, I’m ready to make that jump in my career. I’ve got nothing but good things to say about the Rockets and my time here…I think they’ve prepared me well.” An emotional Barrie reluctantly closed the book on his days in Kelowna colours on Sunday when the Portland Winterhawks eliminated the Rockets in six games. It brought to an end a stellar career in Kelowna which saw the Victoria native set an all-time franchise record for points by a blue liner. Over parts of five seasons, Barrie

Tyson Barrie piled up 51 goals and 228 points in 256 regular seasons games, and 44 more points in the playoffs. Barrie was also named the WHL’s defenceman of the year in 2009-10, and is once again the Western Conference finalist for the award in 2011. Head coach Ryan Huska watched Barrie undergo tremendous growth as a player since playing his first game in the 2006-07 season as a 15-year-old. “As he’s grown up over the years he’s kind of turned himself from a onedimensional offensive defenceman into a guy that played against top lines each and every night, and he’s done a great job,” said Huska. “His game has come a long way. He’s leaving here as the alltime leading scorer among defencemen and when you think about some of the guys who have been through here, that’s nothing to sneeze at. He’s a very good player who’s going on to a terrific career and hopefully he can use some things here that will help him out professionally.” As for his four-plus seasons spent in Kelowna, Barrie wouldn’t trade in the experience for anything.

W PRO DEAL f

Hamilton signs with Oilers

After watching his favoured Saskatoon Blades being swept from the Western Hockey League playoffs by the Kootenay Ice last week, Curtis Hamilton was in need of some fuplifting news. It came this week in the form of a pro contract as the Edmonton Oilers signed the 6-foot-3 left winger to a three-year entry level deal. t Hamilton flew to Oklahoma City this week to join the Oilers’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Barons, for the remainder of the post season. Oklahoma City is currently taking on the Hamilton Bulldogs in the AHL playoffs. A Kelowna Minor Hockey product, Hamilton closed out his fourth

Curtis Hamilton WHL season with 26

goals and 56 assists in 62 games. During his career, he compiled 173 points in 216 games. Internationally, Hamilton represented Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Saskatoon where he had four goals in seven games. The Oilers drafted Hamilton in the second round, 48th overall, in the 2010 entry draft.

‘Awesome part of my life’: Barrie Barrie from A18 “I’ve got nothing but good things to say about my time here,” said Barrie, who signed a threeyear entry level deal with the Avalanche last year. “The way I’ve been treated, by the coaching staff, by management, and the way I’ve been treated in the community by the fans. My billets have made it like a second family for me, so it’s been an awesome part of my life.”

Barrie is one of five Rockets who won’t be back with the club next season. Over-age players Evan Bloodoff, Geordie Wudrick and Zak Stebner will be moving on, as well as forward Mitchell Cal-

lahan who is expected to play pro next season with the Detroit Red Wings organization. For the speedy Bloodoff, it marks the end of a memorable five-year career. “When I came

here at 16 we didn’t even make the playoffs, then two years later we won the league,” said Bloodoff, who scored 22 goals this season. “We had some ups and downs. It was a fun ride.”

Kelowna high school racquetball team makes presence felt The KSS/Kelowna junior racquetball team made its presence felt in its first ever appearance at the B.C. Junior Racquetball Championships. The local team, consisting of six players from

Kelowna Secondary and one each from Constable Neil Bruce and Dr. Knox middle schools, brought home a total of 14 medals from the provincial competition held recently in Burnaby.

Wins for Kelowna athletes included first and second place in intermediate doubles, second in the girls U18 division, third in boys intermediate and numerous consolation winner placements.

“The team members portrayed excellent sportsmanship and played remarkably well, considering it was the their very first racquetball tournament,” said coach Keith Gauthier. “Each youth learned a lot from the other players

in the province,” Gauthier said. The Kelowna junior team is: Cody Broten, Justin McLean, Tanner Soetaert, Sam Thompson, Teghan Braun, Steffanie Duran, Kenneth Gauthier and Trevor Jones. This was the Kelowna

team’s first foray into the provincial championships which are held annually by the B.C. Racquetball Association for students 18 years and under. The students compete in both their age group divisions as well as a skill level division.

The team practices and plays out of Global Fitness and Racquet Club in Kelowna. Any Kelowna youth who would like to join the Kelowna Junior Racquetball Club can contact Mr. Gauthier at Kelowna Secondary School.

Mt. Bou Bears reach semis, Owls win second tier at U Vic The Mt. Boucherie Bears made it to the final four before going down to defeat at the University of Victoria high school girls soccer tournament. The Bears, who finished first in their pool, lost in the semifinal 4-0 to Glenlyon Norfolk, the defending B.C. A girls champs. Boucherie opened with a 1-1 against South Delta, then defeated Belmont 4-0 and St. Mi-

chael’s University 2-1 to place third overall out of 24 teams in the preliminary round. “Overall, we played four very competitive games and had a great experience,” said Bears coach Adrian Zuyderduyn. Grade 11 player Michelle Blackburne was the Bears’ tournament MVP for her play as a center defender. Goal scorers for the

Boucherie girls were Haylee Lakovic (Grade 10, three goals and one assist), Kenzie Byrnes (Grade 12, two goals), Michelle Blackburne (Grade 11, one goal), and Breanna Anderson (Grade 10, one goal).

OWLS WIN FOUR OF FIVE

Despite missing six players—including four starters—due to other commitments or injury, the Kelowna Owls won

the second tier of the UVicj girls soccer tournament. KSS didn’t have to take to the pitch in the tier 2 final after the South Kamloops Titans forfeited the game. The Titans had to return home before B.C. Transport’s 15-hour awake rule expired for the team’s bus driver. The Owls’ only defeat came in their first game of the tourney, a 1-0 decision See High School A24

Junior lacrosse teams amalgamate Jr Lacrosse from A21 With the numbers of minor players in Kelowna steadily dropping off, organizers for both clubs decided there just wasn’t enough depth locally to put two teams on the floor. “We weren’t able to support two teams in Kelowna,” said Raiders GM Daryl French. “We amalgamated the teams in an effort to create a real junior atmosphere, a competitive environment where guys had to do more than just show up to make the team. We’ve upped the ante and we really like the group we have. It’s a strong team.” The Raiders will be co-coached by Travis Wray and Kelly Cahill. rWray was behind Rutland’s bench last season while Cahill guided the tWarriors. f “These guys are working great together,” French said of Wray and Cahill. “Travis is a younger type coach, he relates well to the players. Kelly has years of experience and knowledge, he was a great junior A player in his day down on the coast. It’s a good combination.” On the floor, the Raiders will be led by 2010 TOJLL MVP Tyler French and defensive player of the year Shawn Hochhausen, two members of the BCHL’s Westside Warriors. Tanner Blesham and Cody Taschuk will share goaltendering duties. Among other key players on the roster are Scott Renner, Sheldon McDonald, Evan Helgesen, Ryan Phillips and Iain Hart. With a large number of players born in the 1990 to 1992 range, there is no shortage of experience on the Raiders. “A lot of these guys have come up through minor lacrosse together, they’ve won medals at the provincial level, and they work extremeley well together,” said French. “We have a good, strong group of older players. “Our goal from the start is to win the league championship and go to provincials.” Joining the Raiders and Kamloops Rattlers in TOJLL this season are the defending league champion Kamloops Venom,

the Vernon Tigers, Armstrong Shamrocks and South Okanagan Flames. The Raiders will play 15 regular season games— seven at home and eight on the road. Meanwhile, the Raiders warmed up for the 2011 season with two wins over the weekend at the TOJLL Icebreaker in Armstrong—7-2 over the Rattlers and 6-4 over Vernon.

times for Armstrong. The Raiders return to action this Friday night when they visit the Kam-

loops Rattlers. Next home action for Kelowna is April 29 against Vernon.

SR. RAIDERS

A furious rally over the final two periods came up just short as Kelowna Raiders dropped a 12-11decision to the Armstrong Shamrocks in the Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League opener for both teams. Down by five goals one period, the Raiders roared back over the last 40 minutes to tie the game late in the third 11-11. But two penalties with 90 seconds left sealed Kelowna’s fate as Armstrong scored the decisive goal on the power play. The Raiders outshot the Rocks in the first frame but trailed 8-3. Kelowna then outscored Armstrong 8-4 the rest of the way only to fall short. Steve Plasko paced the Raiders attack with three goals and two assists, while Pho Heng added two goals and two assists. Luke Bailey, Jared MacLennan, Kyle MacLennan, Joe Brown, Evan Helgeson and Braden Renner added single goals. Steve Clark scored five

NEWS W DRUG SMUGGLING CASE

Bail request rejected for Mexican national Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

The last of three people arrested following an alleged case of international drug smuggling has failed in his bid to be released on bail. Court records show a judge on Friday after-

noon ordered the detention of Victor Perez Rodriguez, a Mexican national who finally appeared in a Kelowna courtroom last month after being extradited from the United States. The other two men facing charges after border officials say they found

97.5 kilograms of cocaine in a piece of machinery from Argentina were earlier granted bail. Clifford Montgomery, of West Kelowna, was arrested Oct. 4, 2010, soon after police executed a “controlled delivery” of a fruit grinding machine to a location in Kelowna.

Tariq Aslam, of Surrey, and Perez Rodriguez were arrested in California shortly after their arrest warrants were publicized. All three are facing two counts of conspiracy to import cocaine and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

W STUDY

Kelowna residents value local culture A new report by Bernard Momer, associate professor of geography at UBC Okanagan, has found that Kelowna residents value and support cultural opportunities in the city. The report, entitled Our City, Ourselves, provides valuable insight into Kelowna’s cultural status by using cultural indicators to measure progress and change. “Our research looked at a variety of cultural indicators such as infrastructure, spending habits and the variety of cultural activities in Kelowna,” said Momer. “We found that 64 per cent of residents believe that arts and cultural pursuits are important to the quality of life in Kelowna and, on average, Kelowna residents spend more than the provincial average on cultural pursuits.” According to the study, Kelowna citizens spend $1,066 per year on culture activities. The study also notes that the City of Kelowna provides more than $18 per capita annually to stimulate cultural pursuits and activities in the area. Kelowna is among the first B.C. communities to undertake a full assessment of the cultural landscape. “We’re pleased to have this level of research available to us, as it will allow us to track progress on the cultural development goals we set for ourselves, now and in the future,” said City of Kelowna cultural services manager Sandra Kochan. “It’s encouraging to see the community’s response to culture and the levels of support for the idea of culture as one of the dimensions of community quality of life.” To view a copy of the report, visit kelowna.ca/ culture.

▼ KELOWNA ELKS LODGE

Kelowna branch celebrating 90th anniversary STRAIGHT FROM DEHART

Maxine DeHart

elowna Elks Lodge #52 will celebrate its 90th anniversary this year. The #52 charter officers were exalted ruler, J.F. Burne; leading knight, M.A. Alsgard; loyal knight, Harvey Brown; esquire, Norm DeHart (our uncle); inner guard, J.W.B. Browne; tyler, Dr. R. Butt; secretary, J. Heughan; treasurer, Jim Bowes; chaplain, D.W. Sutherland; and trustees, George Meikle, P.W. Willits and George Richter. Through the years, the Elks moved many times before officially opening a lodge at the corner of Springfield and Barlee in 1979, a site that became well known as home of the Elks Flea Market. Today, the Elks have relocated again to the second floor of the Invue residential and commercial complex. The 2011 executive consists of president Carl Froese; immediate past president Rienhold Gerl; 1st vicepresident Ron Hughes; 2nd vice-president, Tony Bastiaanssen; 3rd vicepresident, Edgar Fleury; secretary/membership director Judy Bastiaanssen; treasurer Elsie Dash; Sergeant-at-Arms Ben Van Helvert, and chaplain Keith Baker. The Elks’ main charities consist of the “Fund for Children” (hearing disabled) and four kids’ camps throughout B.C., the closest in Canoe, near Salmon Arm. The Elks are celebrating this milestone with a dinner and dance on Saturday, April 30. For tickets call 250860-5841. Congrats to Telus community ambassador and volunteer extraordin-

aire Dona Miller on receiving the “Top Community Ambassador Award” for her outstanding volunteer work and achievements in 2010 for the entire Okanagan. The Telus Community Ambassadors program unites 2,500 current and retired team members who, since 2000, have contributed 3.7 million volunteer hours to local organizations. It’s pretty impressive that the Okanagan chapter is the second largest in Canada. After 39 years, RCMP Chief Supt. Don Harrison is retiring. Starting his career in Boston Bar (where he met wife Gail), a neat bit of trivia was that his trainer was none other than Staff Sgt. Ron Danilowich, who was also in Kelowna. When I asked Don what he was going to do with all his spare time, he said, “Look after Gail.” Knowing Gail, that certainly won’t be the case. So, he’s probably going to ride his motorcycle, golf and go camping. Or, maybe Gail will put him to work. That seems more likely to me! Paramjit (Philip) Patara was the recipient of the Spirit of Kelowna Award for the tremendous Vaisakhi Parade held in Rutland on April 9. Don’t let the location of this new restaurant deter you from trying it. Okanagan Street Food, at 812 Crowley Ave., owned and operated by well-known chef Neil Schroeter who was formerly with Sumac Ridge Winery, is the neatest place. The restaurant offers breakfast and lunch Tuesday to Saturday, with items ranging from omelettes and Huevos rancheros for breakie to homemade soups, sandwiches, mac and cheese and daily fresh pasta for lunch. Chef Schroeter also offers a full catering service. From a multicourse tasting menu to a casual barbecue in a vineyard, he can work with

you to construct a menu that satisfies your taste and budget. Their mobile kitchen adapts easily for corporate breakfasts, wedding receptions or wine paired dinners. Okanagan Street Food also offers retail gourmet food to take home, including Schroeter’s unusual shaped homemade crackers, which are delicious and prepared in house.

Kelseys general manager Robert Rand is the new manager of Montana’s Cookhouse and Montana’s general manager Christian Ferts is the new manager of Kelseys.

Appliance, is the new local project coordinator for NSC Food Service Equipment, servicing commercial restaurants and institutions in the Southern Interior. Call 250-826-6546. Terry and Evelyn Partridge are relocating to Oliver. Not only will they be missed by their many friends, the Rutland RCMP Community Policing Station will also notice a big void. Terry and Evelyn have volunteered at the office for 18 years in every volunteer position imaginable.

BUSINESS ▼ INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S GAMES

Study reflects the positive economic impact from event The International Children’s Winter Games had a significant impact for the community. The Games generated more than $2.274 million dollars for the local economy and helped create 66 jobs. That according to the recently completed economic impact study by the organizing committee for the Games. The study was competed with assistance of the Economic Development Commission of the Central Okanagan. “We are excited that the Games were a success in so many ways” said Heather Schneider, chair of the organizing committee. “The Games promoted Kelowna to a brand new international audience and brought youth together from around the world through this once in a life time sport and cultural event. From the feedback we received, we did an outstanding job hosting this event while also having a very positive economic impact.” The 5th International Children’s Winter Games were held Jan. 26 to 31 in Kelowna, the first International Children’s Winter Games to be held outside of Europe. The theme for the Kelowna Games was “Connecting Lives,” which celebrated the ICG vision of promoting friendship and sharing. The Games had 37 cities participating—18 international and 19 Canadian from 13 different countries. There were 472 athletes (271 boys and 201 girls), 125 coaches and 52 VIPs taking part. It is estimated that more than 15,000 people attended Games events. To make it all happen, there were 890 volunteers and 125 performers that gave over 15,000 volunteer hours. The Games website was a very busy one in January with 24,604 visits of which 11,746 were unique. The next International Children’s Games will be the summer version, to be hosted by Lanarkshire, Scotland, from Aug. 3 to 8. The competing athletes will include sailors Elizabeth Hardy and Thish Rajapakshe; golfers Trevor Hamilton and Casey Sullivan; swimmers Katie Dunlop, Tia Itterman, Monique Ken-

nedy, Lacey Falkingham, Denzel Mohamad, Aaron Obedkoff, Josh Zakala

and Cameron Feil; track athletes Davis HughesGeekie, Adam Murray,

Kennedy Kneller, Cassie Laturnus, Katrina Ledding and Elina Painchaud.

The coaches making the trip overseas are sailing, Devin Rubadeau;

track and field, Daniel Medland-Marchen; swimming, Peter Wilkins;

golf, Ursula Sullivan, and the head of the delegation, Heather Schneider

+VU»[ -VYNL[ [OL <KKLY 6ULZ Many people are unaware of the best way to recycle milk, cream and milk substitute containers. Bringing them to the Return-It Depot guarantees they’ll be turned into something useful like cardboard boxes and tissue paper. So why not change your good habits. Return your milk containers with your refundable beverage containers. It’s easy. Quickly rinse them out and crush them. Remove any caps and bring them too, because they get recycled separately. There’s no refund on milk empties because there’s no deposit when you buy, but you’ll be doing the right thing. So on your next trip to Return-It, bring the udder ones too.

Captain goes down with the ship

n March 22, 2006 at 12:22 a.m., the B.C. Ferries vessel Queen of the North plowed into Gil Island at full speed. The ship had sailed through a critical course change and drove straight into Gil Island. After drifting for a little over an hour, the ship sank in 430 metres of water. Ninety nine passengers and crew were rescued and two others died. A Transportation Safety Board report indicated that the navigational crew aboard the ferry failed in executing their responsibility for the safety of the vessel and its passengers and crew. According to the safety board, this tragedy happened because of a total safety breakdown which included disabled systems, insufficient training, and human failure to keep a watch. For 14 long minutes after the Queen of the North passed the designated course change, the fourth officer and the quartermaster failed to recognize that the ship was headed for disaster. Only when it was too late did the fourth officer realize that a drastic course change was required. In the wake of the tragedy, the ship’s captain, Colin Henthorne, was dismissed from his employment. He filed a complaint with the Workers Compensation Board (now WorkSafeBC) alleging he was terminated because he raised safety concerns in the course of a B.C. Ferries divisional inquiry into the accident. Henthorne had been interviewed during the divisional inquiry proceedings and had raised some 58 safety concerns. Had his employment been terminated as a result of his having done so, B.C. Ferries would have been in violation of provisions of the Workers Compensation Act protecting employees who raise issues of occupational health and safety in their working environment. Henthorne’s complaint was initially accepted and B.C. Ferries was ordered to reinstate him to employment. The employer appealed that decision and the Workers Compensation Appeal Tribunal reversed it, concluding that the decision to terminate him was not tainted by considerations relating to his having raised safety

Robert Smithson concerns. As might have been expected, Henthorne appealed that decision and the B.C. Supreme Court recently issued its reasons for dismissing his appeal. B.C. Ferries’ position was that it did not terminate Henthorne’s employment because he advanced his list of safety concerns. Instead, it fired him because, in doing so, he failed to address anything relevant to the sinking of the Queen of the North. The evidence had

been that Henthorne’s 58 concerns were “red herrings, they had nothing to do with the grounding and the loss of the Queen of the North. The Supreme Court effectively agreed, stating that none of the safety issues he raised before the divisional inquiry related to the sinking. The court quoted the earlier finding that the divisional inquiry “was irritated that the worker was not addressing his mind to safety concerns causative of the ship’s accident.” In the view of the divisional inquiry, Henthorne was making “a negative contribution” when he persisted in discussing his own safety concerns and not those which led to the ship’s sinking. In the end, the court

was satisfied there was a foundation in the evidence for the conclusions drawn by the earlier panel and for the inferences it drew. The decision to dismiss Henthorne’s complaint to the Workers Compensation Board was upheld. Although decided in the narrow context of a workers compensation complaint, this decision lends support to the premise that employees have an obligation to cooperate with employers’ workplace investigations. Captain Henthorne’s actions in persisting with his own safety agenda at the expense of his employer’s investigation will surely stand as an example of how not to cooperate.

Learning from business success W

hile recently conceptualizing new Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurial Society initiatives for 2011, I found myself dwelling on a cornerstone of our societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission: â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śto contribute to the development of entrepreneurial leaders in the Okanagan.â&#x20AC;? My thoughts gravitated to the meaning of success within an entrepreneurial context, whether and how entrepreneurial leaders may actually learn more from their success curve. Business and industry history annals are full of tales about companies that once dominated their industries, then eventually fell into decline. The quick reply reasons presented to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;staying too close to existing customers, a myopic focus on shortterm financial performance and an inability to adapt to disruptionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give us fully an understanding as to why such entrepreneurial leaders who had led their ventures to greatness somehow lost their touch. The research literature tells us that success can also breed failure by hin-

our journey to maintaining a success curve in our entrepreneurial journey. The first I discovered in my exploration within the Kauffman Entrepreneurial Foundation research portals is the inclination to make what psychologists call fundamental attribution errors. This suggests that when we do succeed in our journeys, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to conclude that our talents and our current model or strategy are the sole reasons for our perception of success. We also tend to give short attention to the role that environmental factors and random events may have played in this outcome. The second impediment is what might be labelled an overconfidence bias. Success does of course increase our realm of self-assurance. Faith in ourselves is normally a good thing, but too much of it can make us believe we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to change a thing to continue on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;successâ&#x20AC;? path. Ouchâ&#x20AC;Śwrong! The third impediment is the failure-to-ask-why syndromeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the tendency not to investigate the actual cause of solid good per-

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young dering learning at both the individual and organizational levels. We all know that learning from failure is one of the most important capacities for people and ventures to develop. Yet surprisingly, learning from success can present even greater challenges. To understand that, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at three interrelated impediments to learning than can cloud

When entrepreneurs and their teams suffer from this syndrome, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tend to ask the tough questions that would help them expand their knowledge or alter assumptions about how the world works. I remain puzzled about our inability at times to understand why a business venture starts to fail when things had been going so well. I do feel that perhaps to avoid the â&#x20AC;&#x153;success breeds failureâ&#x20AC;? trap, we might wish to understand how experience shapes learning. Learning is a highly cognitive process, and there are numerous models in literature to present such channels. Your choices about people you hire, the projects you fund (or not), the features you may include in product or services, and the strategies you pursue are all influenced by these models. Many theories are informal and we may not even be aware they are swaying our entrepreneurial decision. E Frankly, as I have sometimes realized the hard way, learning is all about understanding why things happen, and why some of our seemingly realistic decisions lead to specific outcomes. This understanding does not come automatically. Failure does provide a motivation for organization, companies and entrepreneurs to learn as well. Does success then mean â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t broken?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Not necessarily. The reality is that while a success bubble may mean we are on the right track, we merely canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assume this to be true without aggressive testing, experimentation and reflection. So, how do we avoid the silly traps I have presented to you today? Below are five simple yet complex ways to learn from success. 1. Celebrate success, but examine it. Noting wrong with toasting your immediate success. But, if you stop with the champagne glasses, you may have missed a huge opportunity. When a win is achieved, your venture needs investigation as to what led to it with the same rigor and scrutiny to understanding the causes of failure. See Young B7

Entrepreneurs must Airport offers contest keep their blinders off Europe vacation prize Young from B6 2. Institute systematic project reviews, which will assist in discovering the reasons for success or failure, and will often generate specific recommendations that can be put to use immediately. 3. Use the right time horizons—when the time lag between an action and its consequences is short, it’s easier to identify cause. Unless you have the appropriate time frame for evaluating performance, you may misconstrue factors that led your success or failure. When you understand appropriate time dimensions, you can prevent tricking yourself by randomness . 4. Recognize replication is not learning. We all know that when things go well, our biggest concern becomes how to capture what we did and embrace it for repetition. Replication is important; we need to spread good practices throughout our venture frame. But, if the chief lesson is merely a list, then the exercise is a failure. 5.If it ain’t broke, experiment. I particularly like this item because it gives way to test our assumptions and theories, right or wrong about what we need to do to achieve higher levels of success in our entrepreneurial pursuit. And guess what, it ought to continue even after a success milestone. Good entrepreneurial leaders must actively test their theories, even when they seem to be working, and rigorously investigate the causes of both good and bad performance. A local serial entrepreneur once told me, “Such as in racing, when you make a change, you only care whether or not it leads to superior performance. You tend to care less why something works. But, over the long-term you need to know why.” I trust this has been a learning experience for us in the journey.

Egg addling controls the goose population growth The Okanagan Valley Goose Management program is preparing for its fifth year of egg addling to control the number of Canada geese in public spaces. Trained contractors have begun searching for nesting sites and hope to complete the addling program by the end of April. “Last year, field crews located and addled 1,269 eggs between Vernon and Osoyoos,” said project coordinator Kate Hagmeier. “The multi-year project aims to reduce the population of resident Canada geese to a more manageable level, and reduce large concentrations of geese in heavily used public areas.

“Due to the longevity of geese, it is expected to take three to five years to see a reduction in the Okanagan goose population from egg addling.” Egg addling involves shaking eggs or coating them with non-toxic 100 per cent biodegradable food-grade corn oil within 14 days of incubation to make them non-viable. The U.S. Humane Society considers egg addling during this time to be humane. Once addled, the eggs are returned to the nest. Geese continue to incubate until they realize the eggs will not hatch. At this point, it is generally too late in the year to produce more eggs. Adults are not harmed

and will continue with their regular lifecycle after the nesting season. During the past four seasons, approximately 5,000 eggs have been prevented from hatching through this minimally invasive approach. This program also entails a nest locating program and goose population surveys. The public is asked to keep away from goose nests and to avoid touching the eggs; a special permit is required to perform egg addling. An egg addling permit has been secured from the federal government allowing crews from EBB Environmental Inc. and Wise Wildlife Control to addle goose eggs on public and private lands with the owner’s permission. Public assistance is requested by reporting nest locations on private or public land. Email coordinator@okanagangooseplan.com or call 1-877943-3209. Information about the program is available at okanagangooseplan.com. Interior Health continues to encourage local governments throughout the Okanagan to reduce the risk of recreational water contamination from sources such as geese. A swimming notification program was implemented by Interior Health in 2006. Since then, no beach advisories have had to be issued due in part to the combination of activities to protect beaches and beach water areas.

ingful guidance on what we would like to see for fish.” A report on habitat enforcement tabled with the inquiry showed the number of patrols, sites checked and violations observed plunged at least 75 per cent each after DFO staff cuts were imposed in 2005. Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr, who has been observing the hearings, said the testimony confirms what environmental groups have long believed—salmon protection is taking a back seat to the demands of industry and business.

“Government appears to be further streamlining how easy it is to develop around salmon habitat,” Orr said. “We think it should be tougher.” He was referring to the DFO’s Environmental Process Modernization Plan, which an internal department report tabled last week said was opposed by staff who felt it lowered the bar on habitat protection and primarily aimed to speed economic development. “It takes DFO more out of the picture and puts consultants in on okaying development,” Orr said. “We just think that’s the wrong way to go.”

Events will make most of Kerry to Stuart Park connection Barry Gerding EDITOR

The Downtown Kelowna Association has taken a bold marketing step to draw more visitors to the city’s downtown core. The DKA unveiled Monday a trio of events planned for the latter half of this year, designed in part to take advantage of the outdoor venue link that now exists between Kerry Park and Stuart Park. “The creation of Stuart Park has opened up opportunities to host events that didn’t exist before,” acknowledged Quinn Best, owner of Habitat in the downtown core and the producer/production manager of Lush Plush Inc. Best’s Lush Plush marketing firm played a major role in organizing last October’s successful BreakOut West festival in Kelowna. He plans to use the firm’s marketing connections to help stage three signature annual events— the Kelowna Fusion Festival, Aug. 13; Pop Okanagan, Oct. 13 to 16; and Light Up! Downtown Kelowna, Dec. 3. At the press conference, Best explained the concept behind all three events. The Fusion Festival is

intended to bring together food, culture and music under one outdoor venue. Kerry Park will be the site for musical performances, Stuart Park will host performances from local cultural groups, and in between will be 10 tent pavilions in which local restaurants will pair up with local groups that represent the heritage of their cuisine menus. As well, Water Street will be closed to traffic during the festival. Best said this festival can offer an opportunity to learn about Kelowna’s evolving cultural dynamic, and enjoy some great local food and music. The Fusion Festival is a replacement for the Mardi Gras sidewalk sale of past years, where Bernard Avenue was closed to traffic and downtown merchants staged a sidewalk sale. “There has always been a problem with Mardi Gras because the street (Bernard) had to be closed down to traffic, which was a concern to the merchants,” Best said. “And with Bernard about to undergo a transformation, the ability to continue to do that will become more difficult.” The Pop Okanagan Festival will include a

QUINN BEST announcing events the Downtown Kelowna Association will host this year in Kelowna. three-night music festival at up to nine different downtown venues all within walking distance, conferences, visual and art exhibitions, fashion shows and local film screenings. Kelowna will become one of 165 communities around the world, including Montreal and Halifax

here in Canada, to stage a popular music festival. “The ‘Pop’ aspect in the name comes from popular music, but we see this as a way of exploring the cross-over connections between music, the arts and social media,” Best said. Richard Taylor, who

runs his own marketing firm and also volunteers for a nonprofit group called Digital Okanagan, said he embraces the idea of using the conference to bring social media professionals together to share ideas, to help develop their careers and create opportunities for others to

follow suit. “We want to help make it possible for young people to stay and work in this area,” said Taylor. “Bringing people together who work in the web, graphic design and communications fields for a conference like this will be helpful in finding ways

for us to meet that goal.” Light Up Downtown Kelowna is an expansion of the traditional Christmas tree light-up event that the DKA stages annually, in early December. Best again pointed to Stuart Park’s ice rink as a city venue that can be used to add activities and atmosphere to the event. Along with the Christmas tree light up and ice skating, there will be live entertainment presented by Festivals Kelowna, a Living Nativity scene set up and advent calendars created to help shoppers count down the days to Christmas. Best said there will also be a definite green flavour to the light up festivities, beyond the colour of the Christmas tree. “There is an opportunity here to help highlight the green movement, to learn more about how a sustainable action plan in our community can offer that green experience,” Best said. All events now have their own active web sites: for the Kelowna Fusion Festival go to www.kelownafusionfestival.com; Pop Okanagan Festival, www.popokanagan.com; and Light Up Downtown Kelowna, www.lightupkelowna.com.

Spears gets hits thanks to men behind the scenes BRITNEY SPEARS: FEMME FATALE (SONY)

This new album in reality should be titled by artist as Max Martin and Dr. Luke featuring Britney Spears. Superstar producers Martin and Luke write all the music, play most of the instruments, arrange, record, engineer etc., while Spears acts as the pretty figurehead

behind their genius. I remember reviewing Spears’ last album where she says in the middle of one song “Oh I like that bit” as if she were hearing the music for the first time. And given Spears’ tragic victim-of-her-own-excesses-and-successes history where she became mostly a gutter press joke,

she seems to have little to do on Femme Fatale other than remember the lyrics and sing along to the AutoTune mechanics. Spears lost control of her finances to her father and a See Mitchell B13

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ AWESOME OKANAGAN

Ride the FlowMotion wave Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR

First of all, I just want to comment on what a huge success Awesome Okanagan’s Launch Party was last Saturday. The Laurel Packinghouse was abuzz with energy from start to finish and the amount of support that came from the evening was outstanding. Awesome Okanagan would like to thank everyone involved in making the night 100 per cent awesome including all the businesses, performers, crew and attendees. The event goes to show that the site is moving on in the right direction and we thank everyone for their support. A newer business that was involved in the launch party was KBAAD (KBillie Artist and Athlete Development) which is an Okanagan Not-for-Profit society designed to help artists and athletes rise to remarkable heights by creating exciting new opportunities and professional guidance. One of those exciting new opportunities is coming up in May and is something that is completely unique not only in the Okanagan but in all of Canada. On May 14 and 15 KBAAD, along with the H2O Centre, present FlowMotion–Canada’s only FlowRider Competition. For those who haven’t experienced that Flow-

Rider (one of the great amenities at the H2O Centre) it is a wave machine specifically designed to simulate the perfect, never-ending surfing wave. Its submersible pumps generate a thin sheet of water flowing at a speed more than 20 mph over a stationary wave form. The resulting “wave-like” shape permits riders to slide down, carve a turn, and ride up the simulated wave surface. Any athlete, no matter what the age, gender or skill level, is welcome to FlowMotion and each competitor can sign up into a division that suits their comfort level. There will be two main categories in the competition—one for technical performances such as tricks (like kickflips and 360s) and another for freeriders where they can focus on style and carving.

Both free passes are valid from sign up until the weekend of the competition, so there’s some great incentive to sign up early. Prizes will also be awarded during FlowMotion for first, second, and third place riders in each category. The competition is free for the public to attend so competitors can make sure to have all their family and friends come down and watch. Remember that this competition is for all skill levels including beginners, so if you’ve never given the FlowRider a shot then now is your time.

ENTERTAINMENT â&#x2013;ź CD REVIEWS

Dylan tape, Stewart tribute worthy documents Mitchell from B11 court ordered lawyer because she was so messed up and out of control, but she seems to be coming around if this new album can believe to be heard. The crazy thing is Femme Fatale is an excellent album of pure pop and dance music. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t certain if Spears is able to tour given her uncertain headspace so to compensate for this, every song on this extended Deluxe Edition CD is designed as a three and a half minute radio hit. There are no ballads on this lengthy 18-track disc but every tune here has terrific hooks with its propulsive and indelible ear candy. Spears has already enjoyed two hits on this No.1 selling album with Till The World Ends and Hold It Against Me but her recording label and producers are aiming for six hits off Femme Fatalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and if it happens, touring wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be needed with the revenues from multiple videos. I liked this album way more than I thought I would and it is a lot of fun loaded with sexual aggression. Spears plays her part well but I wonder just how much light there really is behind those semi vacant eyes. B+

PETER BJORN AND JOHN: GIMME SOME (PBJ/ SONY)

These three Swedes look to be one hit wonders now that this new album has mostly stiffed. The trio are best known for their quirky techno pop and whistling hit titled Young Folks of a few years ago. This new album, their fifth, hopes to change their image with retro new wave rock and a couple of short sub-two-minute techno rock mosh numbers highlighted by strident guitars. There is a touch of retro cowbell rock with Second Chance while Breaker Breaker sounds something akin to an early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s The Jam. An odd album that clocks in at under a half hour with 11 tracks where the only truly good thing I like about the album is the pun of the title, Gimme Some, and its triple Don Cherry graphics. A Swedish lisp anyone?. C

BOB DYLAN: IN CONCERT, BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY 1963 (COLUMBIA)

The tape to this short, seven-song, 38-minute live Dylan album was only discovered a few

months ago in the estate of the late, great rock journalist Ralph J. Gleason. It was recorded by Gleason using the soundboard at a college gymnasium at a time when Dylan was almost unknown. His debut album had been overlooked but Dylan had just finished recording his first masterpiece album, The Free Wheeling Bob Dylan (that had yet to be issued), and a few weeks later Peter, Paul & Mary would release their smash cover to the game changing hit Blowing In The Wind. Oddly enough, Dylan sang no songs from his soon to be released masterpiece as he stuck to lesser known but equally acerbic songs like Masters Of War, Talkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; John Birch Society Blues, Ballad Of Hollis Brown and Talkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues. But the young 21 year old held the audience in utter fascination and this concert CD is a significant document of one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important songwriters of all time. It is a must own for uber Dylan-philes. B-

BEN WATERS: BOOGIE 4 STU, A TRIBUTE

TO IAN STEWART (EAGLE RECORDS)

Ian Stewart is probably best known only to fans of The Rolling Stones minutia. He was their head road manager but he was also a superb rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n roll and boogie pianist in a style not unlike Chuck Berryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long time keyboard man Johnny Johnson. Hence, Stewart often played piano (and often unaccredited by the band) on many of their early covers of Berry nuggets. (Stewart in no way looked like a Rolling Stone so he always stayed in the background). What makes this tribute album so valuable is the number of superstars who all champed at the bit to pay homage to their

dear friend. Virtually all the Stones help out on this CD including Bill Wyman, while Mick Jagger offers a fine cover of Bob Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Watching The River Flow which has an outside chance of becoming a hit. Anyway, just some of the rock luminaries here besides pianist Ben Waters include Jools Holland, P.J. Harvey, Jagger, Ronnie Wood, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and many more. A fine tribute to one of the truly nicest guys, Ian Stewart, in the dog eat dog world of rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n roll. The painting of Stewart on the CD liner is by Sir Peter Blake who is best known for his Beatles Sgt. Pepper album cover. B bwcmitchell@shaw.ca

Interior Health offers reminder about keeping updated on immunization shots Are your shots up to date? Have all the people in your family received their vaccinations? Immunization is an important part of staying healthy for people of all ages. April 23 to 30 is National Immunization Awareness Week, and this year Interior Health would like to remind you to make sure everyone in your family is up-to-date with all the recommended vaccines. “Immunization doesn’t just protect you— it protects those around you,” said Dr. Rob Parker, IH medical health officer. “When most people are vaccinated for a disease, it makes it harder for that disease to spread from person to person. “Recent outbreaks in our region of measles and

whooping cough (pertussis), occurring among unimmunized individuals, are close-to-home reminders of why it’s important to keep our immunization rates high and why we should protect ourselves and our children.” Getting immunized helps to create “herd immunity,” which means as the number of people who are immune to a disease grows, the chances of that disease spreading and infecting others drops, Parker explained. This helps protect people who do not have immunity or cannot be vaccinated due to a medical condition, he said. He noted that if people stop immunizing, diseases can come back and that becomes especially risky for those who may be more vulnerable.

Keeping your shots up to date is important for people of all ages, according to Interior Health. In order for vaccinations to be most effective, infants and toddlers should be immunized at two, four, six, 12 and 18 months. School-aged children should receive vaccinations upon school entry (kindergarten) and in Grades 6 and 9. For adults, vaccinations and their timing will depend on a number of factors including medical conditions, travel plans, lifestyle and occupations that may put them at risk for certain diseases. Immunization records are a valuable tool to help keep track of your vaccinations and make sure they are up to date. “It’s important to keep immunization records in a secure location just like you would do with other important documents such as a passport,” said Joanne Smrek, Interior Health’s clinical resource coordinator.

“If you no longer have a copy of your vaccination record you can call your local public health office for assistance.” Vaccinations are a safe, tried and true way to protect you, your family and your community from disease. For more information on immunizations including a list of recommended vaccines for various age groups: • Call your local public health office—a list of offices is available at www. interiorhealth.ca/centres. aspx. Offices are also listed under Health Authorities in the Blue Pages of your telephone directory. • Check the Interior Health website—select the Choose Health tab, then Immunizations and then Vaccines. The specific address online is www. interiorhealth.ca/choosehealth.aspx?id=11552. • Visit ImmunizeBC’ s website www.immunizebc.ca and look under the tab called Vaccine Schedule.

In Memoriam

In Loving Memory of Meta Hopp A year you left us with an aching in our hearts, An inexpressible sadness felt when a loved one departs. You’ve gone on to that blessed land where teardrops never fall. There’s no sickness, pain or sorrow, you’ve been healed from it all. Though we have shed many tears and have pain in our days, We hold onto the hope we’ve been given, that your heart is full of praise. We will always miss you; Our love will never wane, As we hold tightly to the promise, that we will see you again.

Love your family & friends.

We’re at the heart of things™

ALFRED OTTKOWITZ

April 26, 1920 – April 12, 2011 Born April 26, 1920 in Breslau Germany, Alfred passed peacefully to heaven just before sunset April 12, 2011, in his 90th year. Alfred immigrated to Canada in 1951, living in Ottawa until moving to Kelowna in 1993. He is lovingly remembered and missed by his brother, George, sister-in-law Susan, and his niece Sonja (Guy), nieces and nephews in Germany, and friends in the Ottawa and Kelowna area. Special thanks to Dr. Canning, special thanks to Lakeshore Place and each and every amazing angel at Brandt’s Creek Mews. He was blessed by all who touched his life, and his gift back was sharing his gentle, kind spirit with everyone he knew. We envision endless cups of coffee on heaven’s patio, in bright sunshine with Bullitt by his side. In lieu of ﬂowers, and with Alfred’s love of dogs, donations may be made to the BCSPCA in his memory and his beloved Bullitt. No service by request.

teams from across the Central Okanagan faced off in the Sky Court at Orchard Park Shopping Centre to test their knowledge about all things green. “The bustling energy from all of the student competitors was impressive and we’re proud to support such an important educational event,” said Elvia Picco, community and First Nations relations manager, FortisBC. “Learning about different environmental topics in a fun and engaging way is a great opportunity for students to embrace this knowledge and to share this information with each other, family and friends. “Congratulations to all the students, teachers and schools for their effort and energy in preparing for the Environmental Mind Grind.” With parents, friends, teachers and fellow students cheering them on, Bankhead Elementary School of Kelowna won the hotly contested Elementary School Division and $500 for their school. Glenmore Elementary, placed second. KLO Middle School’s team two from Kelowna won the coveted first place in the Middle School category. KLO Middle School’s team one placed second after playing several tightly contested games. The Most Enthusiastic Team prize was awarded to Rutland in the elementary category and George Elliott (team two) in the middle school category. No high school was bestowed with a Most Enthusiastic prize, as only two high schools ended up competing. Two high school teams competed for FortisBC’s prize of $150 per student towards post secondary education as well $1,000 for an energy saving project in their school. After a quick best-ofthree battle, Kelowna Secondary School took home first prize. Okanagan Mission Secondary School from Kelowna placed second. The Environmental Mind Grind contest helps students learn about local environmental issues and motivates the competitors and their families to live more sustainably by taking environmental action. It has been organized by the City of Kelowna and Regional District of Central Okanagan in honour of Earth Day since its inception in 2000.
