▼ WILLIAM AND KATE

Royal wedding fever hits home Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Wills and Kate madness spread across the pond and in the lead-up to Friday morning’s nuptials, this colony’s residents were on tenterhooks waiting for the wedding of the century to unfold. Fashion fanatics, for example, couldn’t stop clucking about Kate Middleton’s sartorial take on matrimony, while others speculated about how this round would stack up to the 1981 nuptials of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Closer to home, genealogy clubs mapped Okanagan bloodlines to the commoner’s fairytale wedding, while lookalike cardboard cutouts and doilies were unfurled for teas. The latter event, held at the Dorchester, may sound a bit stiff, but it drew a large number of local seniors dressed in their finest garb, willing to partake in a moment of Royal-inspired frivolity. For some, the Royal hubbub was less about Kate and William, than it was a catalyst for fond recollections. “Every time I hear about Royalty, I think of my mother and father,” said Gwendolyn Boymer. “They were Irish, and they had gone to see the throne and my father said ‘I’m going to put my initials on

there.’” Her mother, naturally, started from the position of “don’t you dare” but was convinced in the end. It was the ’30s, so security was likely lighter and with nobody to stop him he went ahead, with his wife holding his feet to steady him as he leaned below the seat. “Now when I think of Royalty, I can see my dad on the seat, dangling over the edge, carving the initials J.M.”

‘‘

EVERY TIME I HEAR ABOUT ROYALTY, I THINK OF MY MOTHER AND FATHER. Gwendolyn Boymer

For Jim Hayes, the morning’s ritual will give him another chance to see a smile that impressed him so long ago. “I was in the Air Force team when Her Majesty came to Kelowna in 1971,” he said. “She walked by and I was an escort and she gave me a beautiful, lovely smile— she really was a gracious lady.” In some ways the See Wedding A3

▼ LACK OF FUNDING

Women’s centre closes doors for last time Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

“The centre means so much to me because it gave me my voice,” said Micki Smith as she reflected on this week’s closing of the Women’s Resource Centre. Running the centre has been Smith’s vocation—her job, her hobby, her main activity morning, noon and night, even on weekends—for 20 years. “Last weekend, I didn’t know what to do,” she said. “Usually on weekends I’m researching differ-

ent funding opportunities and finishing paperwork.” Smith was a single-mother on income assistance when the centre finally found the funding for a full-time employee. She was already an avid volunteer, having done a practicum there for an Okanagan College office administration course and soon found herself in an administrative position that required the patience of a counsellor, the resourcefulness of a social worker and the legal acumen of one who knows and understands the law.

Asked where the gaps in services will be with the KWRC gone, Smith figured there are likely too many to know at this point. It will likely be the simple things, the free tax service, the books on divorce proceedings that came in multiple languages, the patient ear to help women talk through difficult decisions, that will not be replaced. “I just had a woman pick up her taxes who this was her first year she couldn’t afford it. Last year she was on income assistance, but this year she needed to

file and H&R Block told her it would cost $80 and she wouldn’t be getting much of a return,” said Smith. Wednesday afternoon a sendoff for the centre saw the tiny room packed with local service providers, the mayor, volunteers, board members, local activists and supporters. Earlier in the day the closure was raised by NDP MLA Michelle Mungall in the legislature. See Centre A4

NEWS ▼ WORKPLACE DEATHS

Day of Mourning observed in city Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Many who gathered for the annual Day of Mourning Thursday, were moved to tears when Phil Huxley told the story of how his son died in a workplace accident two years ago. “He was fooling around,” he explained, of his 29 year old son Ryan, who crashed his all-terrain vehicle into the side of a semi trailer, and set off a chain of events the family will carry with them forever. Working at a nursery in the Fraser Valley, Ryan drove a Gator to transplant various greenery. He and other staff members looking to have some fun, were driving the slow moving vehicles through a shallow mud hole. Ryan, Philip surmised, looked back to see how much mud splashed and somehow ran straight into the semi trailer parked nearby, crushing his body. “He left a print of both of his hands on the side of the semi,” he recalled. Ryan was conscious when the ambulance arrived, and explained what had happened. Co-workers assumed that he’d just have a couple of broken ribs or a broken arm, but he “coded” on the way to the hospital, and the attendant had to “restart” him. Then when he went into the ER, the cycle was repeated and by the time the family arrived, it was

clear that Ryan would die. “I asked them if anything was salvageable, and they said his eyes,” said Huxley. “That made us laugh a bit, he couldn’t see anything.” Not long after that conversation, he sat with his son, and as his heart monitor spiked, he leaned over,

need of some sort of ocular transplant. Then, he found meaning in the fact that Ryan’s death could be used as a force to prevent other life ending mistakes. “My son has the dubious distinction of being the first agricultural worker to be killed driving a Gator or an ATV,” he said.

PHIL HUXLEY, father of a fatally injured worker,

flanked by Shawn Miton, regional prevention manager for WorkSafe BC.. kissed him and urged him to move on. Dealing with death is always going to be hard, but what appeared to be pointlessness caused Phil to look for meaning. First he found it in the fact that his son’s eyes would help four others in

“We must make sure that we give workers an understanding of the consequences of horseplay,” he said. It’s something Ryan’s coworkers at the nursery will never forget, and won’t be allowed to either. The employer set out stiff

rules about horseplay, nearly immediately. Since that time, there have also been rules put in place that change the way that ATVs are used in the workplace. “There’s some good, and we have to hold on to that,” Huxley said. Others who spoke at the Thursday afternoon meeting pointed out that there needs to be continued pressure on legislatures to put laws into effect that protect workers. Today there are 143 deaths a year due to workplace accidents and 75 more due to occupational disease. “Its tragic and outrageous that so many died because of avoidable reasons,” said Debra Critchley from the North Okanagan Labour Council. “Or because of things like cancer due to exposure to asbestos.” Getting a lid on toxins in the workplace was of particular interest to speakers this year and Shawn Miton, regional manager for Worksafe B.C., said that there needs to be an effort made to reduce contact with those silent killers. The Canadian Labour Congress initiated the national Day of Mourning ceremony on April 28, 1984. Canada was the first country to formally commemorate workers who’d been killed at work. Today, the event is held in 100 countries across the globe.

Song written for couple Wedding from A1 crowd at the Dorchester are the expected audience for a Royal wedding, as they can remember days when the family was held in higher esteem, but it’s an event that’s caught the imaginations of the most unlikely Royalists. Amid all the excitement is an unlikely collective of Kelowna artists who tentatively entered the fray with a catchy ode to William and Kate. “We started writing a love song, and then we had this twist in the end that it was being filmed with cameras continually around them,” said songwriter Andrew Smith, who collaborated with fellow songwriters Norm Strauss, Ann Vriend and Zachari Smith to create

the aptly named, William and Kate Love Song. Through the lyrics, listeners get to see the couple meeting at their favourite café in Kensington, watching classic movies late at night and being followed by paparazzi, in a bit of fairy tale escapism. But, it wasn’t always deigned that way. “We didn’t discover it was about Will and Kate until the end of the song,” said Smith. “So that’s how the song led us to be Royal watchers.” Watching, in fact, has led to being watched. “We got a lot of buzz about it,” said producer, and local video artist Nico Boesten, who helped bring the visuals to the music when he recruited Cailas Wiebe to create an amazing quick-draw video to

accompany it. “We’ve been picked up on a lot of blogs, and BBC America even used it. The YouTube site has 14,000 (now 17,000) hits and we’re on the front page of Google when you type in William and Kate—it’s been a hit.” It’s a hit that’s taught the newly formed Tribehouse collective the power of collaboration, as their website Roadmapmusic. com has seen a lot more hits since the video and song were uploaded. And, though its reach is clearly widespread, there’s still one thing missing. “It would (have been) cool to get an invite,” joked singer, songwriter Strauss.

Hansard transcripts showed Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Ida Chong simply noted an independent judge will be reviewing the government’s decision making on the gaming grants, which could have kept the

The centre had been housing HOPE Outreach, an organization which sees volunteers check on women on the streets each night to ensure they have access to basic necessities—food, toiletries, a safe place to stay, bathe and so forth.

A 30-year-old Kelowna man is facing charges after a woman and her eight-year-old son were bear sprayed after the door to their residence was kicked in. According to police the incident occurred last Friday just before 9 p.m., and involved a dispute over a stray cat that the family had found in the neighborhood a couple of months before. Kelowna RCMP say prior to the incident, a 34-year-old female neighbour, who lives a block away, went to the victim’s residence in the 1200-block of Lawrence Avenue in an “intoxicated state.”

breaking down the current facility. There will be a garage sale on May 14 and she is trying to ensure the years of resources—books, computers, and so forth— wind up in a place where they will do the most service. “It’s one of those things where you kind of see the writing on the wall, but I kind of still felt blindsided when the board informed me of the decision to close,” she said. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

A verbal altercation ensued followed by the neighbour pushing the victim, who pushed back, and then shut and locked the door to her residence in order to keep the other woman out. A witness reported that, shortly thereafter, a man went to the residence, kicked the door in and went inside. Police say once inside, he allegedly confronted the victim and her son and is accused of sprayed them both in the face with bear spray before fleeing. A second male was seen standing on the corner at the time that the first man fled, and was thought to be with the fleeing

man. When police arrived, they found both victims in obvious distress and pain as the woman tried to wash the irritant from her crying son’s face. While a police services dog picked up a scent trail, officers patrolled the area and located the intoxicated woman, who claimed she had been assaulted by the victim. Officers went to the woman’s residence at the same time the police dog arrived, having followed a track from the victim’s house to the intoxicated woman’s residence. Inside police say they found the man witnesses say they saw kick in

the victim’s door, and the other man allegedly seen standing on the corner. Both men were arrested. The 30-year-old suspect was released on a promise to appear in court under the condition of making no contact with the victims, among others. He is facing charges of assault with a weapon, break and enter to a residence and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public. The Kelowna RCMP say he is known to them for other Criminal Code offences. The second man was released without charges.

‘Flagging’ candidates on the hot seat at yet another meeting Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Those expecting Green Party candidate Alice Hooper to escort the Conservative’s tar sands policies to the gallows Tuesday evening, left another all candidate’s forum disappointed. Then again, the NDP’s Tisha Kalmanovich didn’t get much further with her jabs on social policy and the loss of the Kelowna Women’s Shelter, and Liberal Kris Stewart silenced the room with her admission she doesn’t know what her party’s stance on foreign aid is or understand why Canada is sending money overseas when there is poverty in Canada. As such, the third allcandidate’s meeting of the week stuck to the same theme as all the others— the message track—despite the fact the pews of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church offered up the only left-leaning audience of the campaign. “This is our third all -candidates meeting in 24 hours, so if we start to look a bit flagged, that’s why,” said Kalmanovich, who returned to the complaint at the end of the evening when the candidates were

asked if they wanted to continue or wrap up. Incumbent, Conservative Ron Cannan, explained he believes many citizens within the riding do not understand what the federal government does, saying its role is confined to income taxes, pensions and the military, whereas the provinces look after health, education and social issues. No one challenged him on the public versus private health care debate raging across the country, or pointed out the national health care system is governed under the Canada Health Act If there was a challenge in the evening, it was clearly in the questions from the audience, which valiantly tried to suss out each party’s stance on issues like eliminating poverty, recovery from economic decline and deficits versus debt. A few fiery sparks flew over each party’s approach to accountability when the candidates where asked how their parties would work to restore confidence in the system. Stewart reminded the audience the Conservative government fell, triggering the election, be-

cause: “Mr. Harper would not provide transparent, accountable, honest figures for the cost of the fighter jet programs and the big jails that he wanted to build.” But Cannan countered by pointing out the Conservatives were the ones to introduce the Accountability Act in 2006, dubbing it “the toughest piece of legislation the government’s ever introduced in Canada.” He noted the Conservatives did offer up the figures for the jets and jails in the end, though it took Hooper to point out those figures were likely far lower than the actual costs and that the Accountability Act has come under fire for achieving exactly the opposite end. She also noted her party’s platform, Vision Green, dissects the Accountability Act, showing it actually prevents important documents from being released and “provides for the possibility that wrong-doing, exposed by whistleblowers, could be sealed for up to 15 year under the act.” The evening was the final all candidates meeting before Monday’s election. Some 60 people attended.

Go after province for money: COTA Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It’s time for the local board of education to start hammering the province to return funding stripped by the elimination of negotiations over class size, composition and ratios for specialist teachers, the Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association president says. Earlier this month a landmark decision by Justice Susan Griffin deemed Bill 27 and 28, which re-

moved teachers’ right to negotiate on all three fronts from the collective bargaining agreement, unconstitutional and illegal. The bills, brought in under then education minister Christy Clark, were said to provide more flexibility in composing classes, but the judge estimated they also striped an annualized $275 million from the provincial education budget. “Think what you could have done without the stripping of that lan-

guage,” said Alice Rees, COTA president. Rees was quick to point out the diligence of the local board, thanking them for their persistent letter writing on the matter. “We’ve been working very, very hard to get this judgement,” she said, adding teachers in Okanagan classrooms have worked even harder to deal with the effect of the legislation. Rees asked the board of education to demand restitution and to return to those letter-writing roots and refuse to back down on the matter. “I will not, nor will any teacher accept, that

there isn’t money in the budget when the roof on the dome cost ($458 million),” she said. Meanwhile in other news, Central Okanagan school trustees will not get a pay raise this year. The board of education must decide annually whether to give themselves a raise—though guidelines on how to do so are not provided. Despite suggestions from the finance committee to go with a one per cent increase, the motion failed at Wednesday’s board meeting and a unanimous vote not to raise the rate of remuneration followed. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

side to find a woman and two men, in their late teens, picking debris off their driveway. “A noticeable ring of “charring” scarred the driveway and one of the young men stated that it was only hydrogen, which is a flammable gas,” said Holmes. “One witness advised that a smaller explosion was heard coming from the same place earlier in the day.” Police arrived, along

with the fire department and maintained a distance from the residence as it was unknown what kind of explosive devices they were dealing with. Police called the residence and asked the 49-year-old female inside to come outside. She was then detained as police spoke with her. “Police learned that her two teenage sons were experimenting with hydrogen gas and that it was a science experiment that

had gotten out of hand,” he said. “The two teens were looking for their dog, that had run away when the hydrogen was detonated. Police looked for, and arrested the two males for possession of explosives.” The RCMP’s Explosive Disposal Unit, in Vancouver, was consulted and elected to attend in order to ensure there was no more threat of explosion, and to remove any devices or explosive materials that still existed. A search of the residence was conducted and police found materials consistent with science experimentation rather that with making explosive devices.

Fat Cat finds himself in England for his latest adventure Dorothy Birker CONTRIBUTOR

Greetings from jolly old England where Fat Cat and PT the Clown have been enjoying some Royal adventures. Join them on their Where in the World is Fat Cat? tour and read their blog at www.facebook.ca/ fatcatfestival. Being in London, England during the final preparations for the Royal wedding has been a fantastic experience. The pomp and ceremony, the buzz and excitement have been unbelievable. Around Buckingham Palace the excitement is palpable. Fat Cat tried to get the full scoop from one of the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guards at Buckingham Palace and while he got a great photo, unfortunately, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get insider news to share with our readers. He loved the Changing of the Guard ceremony and was glad he got to see the guardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; famous bear skin hats up close. There is so much to see and do in London: Big Ben, completed in

1858 and at 16-storeys tall, is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest four-face chiming clock; the London Eye, the third largest ferris wheel in the world, sits on the River Thames and provides amazing city views. The Parliament Buildings, Westminster Abbey, the museums, Hyde Park , you could spend years here visiting all the sights. The history and grandeur of the city have amazed our intrepid travelers. However, as it turns out, Fat Cat is a bit of a linguist and he is loving learning about the different languages, fun phrases and local colloquialisms in each place he travels. For London, it seemed like the Cockney slang was the thing to try and crack. To be considered a true Cockney one must have been born within the sound of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bow Bellsâ&#x20AC;? in the East End of London. Cockney Rhyming Slang was first recorded in 1845. It is thought London street traders (not just Cockneys) started using rhyming slang as a sort of â&#x20AC;&#x153;codeâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a way of communicating without â&#x20AC;&#x153;out-

sidersâ&#x20AC;? knowing what they were talking about. Here is an example: PT the Clown went up the â&#x20AC;&#x153;apples and pearsâ&#x20AC;? (stairs) to say a few â&#x20AC;&#x153;dickie birdsâ&#x20AC;? (words) on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dog and boneâ&#x20AC;? (phone). Fun, right? Here are a few more for you to try: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up with your barnet? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all over your boat race!â&#x20AC;?( Translation: What is the matter with your hair? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hanging in your face.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a butcher at me old china, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all on

his Jack, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cos heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got no bread.â&#x20AC;? (Translation: Take a look at my friend, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all on his own because he has no money.) Of course even the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English is a bit different from Canadian English as Fat Catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adventures yesterday show. He took the lift up to see a friend in his flat. They had a spot of tea and biscuits then put petrol in the car, loaded up the boot with crisps and torches for a nighttime snack, and drove to the pub for fish and chips

with mushy peas and a chin wag. Soon it will be time to leave on the next leg of the big tour . Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to â&#x20AC;&#x153;likeâ&#x20AC;?

Polls popular but not always accurate

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

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

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

is reported as fact and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Poll results are important information, and in a democracy, information needs to be shared freely and disseminated widely. However, the national media, the major players in publishing poll results, need to do a much better job in prominently reporting the number of people polled, and the margin of error both nationally and regionally. They must also explain why there is such a wide variation in many poll results. Langley Times

Dress the chihuahua in corgi guise and put kettle on for tea

y sister emailed me from her new home in England earlier this week, saying “these Brits are weeing themselves about this wedding business, and even I’m excited. It’s contagious…like the plague.” A couple questions about the Canucks, their penchant for disappointing the masses and Stephen Harper’s increasingly Trump-like hair followed in the email that summarized these exciting times. But it was the wedding thing and its impact on even the most closeted Royals fan that got my brain buzzing. Our mother, a fresh-off-the-boat Brit, raised us on a heap of anti-Royalist sentiment, which has, quite frankly been an issue I’ve awkward-

ly avoided my entire life. When friends heard her mispronounce aluminum and realized her distaste for emotional outpourings, they automatically assumed she had a stash of Queen Elizabeth plates in a cupboard somewhere, and if they came over in their wellies and a change of clothes, they could make it for tea and discuss Welsh corgis. Imagine being an elementary school student having to explain that their mum actually has a bad taste in her mouth over the cost of the monarchy, their role in modern society and Charles’ looks. Needless to say, I just

side-stepped the top-

KATHARTIC ic and crossed my fin-

gers that they wouldn’t cozy up to her with their thoughts about princesses. That said, my own Kathy Royal fondness hit its Michaels peak at the same time. When history lessons taught me my country’s founding fathers were a load of grubby fur traders with dodgy practices and even less exciting shifty politicians—Tommy Douglas excluded—I took solace in England’s crazy history. Henry the VIII lopping off the heads of powerful queens had a lot more romance and excitement.

But somewhere along the way, that interest faded. In fact, it’s disappeared entirely. I’ve even been turning up my nose at all this wedding hubbub and mocking those who have been caught up with Royal fever, but today, for reasons unknown, I feel the same curiosity about foreign glamour taking me over. I actually want to know, will Kate Middleton’s dress live up to the hype? Will she torture her bridesmaids with some nasty silky number more fit for a pageant than a Royal red carpet? Will Hot Harry on a Horse outshine his big brother? Will protestors steal the limelight from the jewel-laden, celebrity-rich event? How will these nuptials impact the franchise?

I’m ashamed to admit it, but Stephen Harper could light his fine civilization of hair on fire this week, the youth vote could rise to 100 per cent and Cedar Avenue’s potential park could become the battle ground of nudist squatters for all I care—it’s the big day. So, sorry mum. I’m putting on my wellies, boiling water for some tea, dressing my chihuahua as a corgi and getting my Royal groove on. It’s a strange global happy-fest that I can’t help but tune into— God Save the Queen, be she ever so far away, expensive and outmoded.

LETTERS ▼ ALBERT BALDEO

To read Baldeo’s words is to love him To the editor: I didn’t know Albert Baldeo, but I felt like I did. Although I can’t call myself a religious person, I always looked forward to reading his columns in

your paper. They were always inspiring and uplifting and he wrote like we were all his personal friends! I was very sad to learn of his death (Monday) and also sad when I read what

I knew would be his last column. He wrote it with grace and you actually wondered: Is he saying his good-bye to us? He must have been an amazing husband, father and grandfather. I can

only imagine what his services must have been like at St. Paul’s Church. I have a feeling everyone would have left with a smile on their face (if not actually laughing). Kelowna has lost a

very special person. We all will miss him. Condolences to his wife and family. Brenda Hunting, Kelowna

Seniors being forced into much smaller space Open letter to Mayor Shepherd and Council: Re: Relocation of Water Street Seniors’ Centre I ask Kelowna City Council to consider, caringly, the way in which its senior citizens are being treated in the above stated matter. Going back a while, we were asked to relinquish the lovely lakeshore location of the Water Street Seniors’ Centre in

order that more park space might be created and that the Kelowna Yacht Club might expand, thus giving a private club more space for a membership, and not available to the public. We senior citizens enjoyed the location and the facilities at the Water Street Centre but were assured that a new building to replace the centre would, in no way, be inferior to the one we were asked to vacate.

You will know from other letters addressing this matter and from your own comparisons of square footage between the two buildings that the Parkinson Recreation Centre proposal in no way matches what is being taken away. At the WSSC we have a private kitchen, dedicated parking and a large room, which accommodates Saturday bridge often attended by three

sections of 10 tables each. This involves 121 people who have to be in one room. Last Saturday we hoped that some council members would visit us and see for themselves that we filled the big room and spilled over into two smaller adjacent spaces. Also, lacking in the proposed plans for the PRC relocation is an area of dedicated parking and you probably know that when functions of other

groups occur on a Saturday, parking space can be hard to find at the recreation centre. Please reconsider the PRC addition now being offered to us. Either enlarge it appreciably and restrict its use to seniors, providing adequate space for the activities we enjoy or start again and find a new downtown relocation site. Mary Blumer, Kelowna

Conservative another name for Republican To the editor: Here we go again. Yet, another federal election. Once again, I hear all kinds of strange logic used to justify people’s voting choices. One of the strangest I hear from supporters of the Conservatives goes like this: I vote Conservative because I don’t want the free-spending Liberals (or NDP) in

government. If anyone bothers to check the facts (not that facts have ever interfered with politics) they would see that the so-called Conservative governments have been the most extravagant spenders of any party elected to govern. If you think this election is costly (and it is) then think about this be-

fore casting your precious vote: This election is costing roughly as much as two F-35 fighter jets that the ‘careful’ Conservative party wants to buy squadrons of. As a democracy, we must have periodic elections. As a ‘peace-loving’ democracy, why the heck do we need ultraexpensive jet fighter air-

craft? Don’t tell me it’s for defense. We haven’t defended our territory since 1812. Those offensive, over-elaborate fighter airplanes are used for attacking people on the ground—a function that can be done in far less costly manner—if we have to be attacking anyone, which is highly dubious.

▼ INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

‘Ice hockey diplomacy’ would serve world well To the editor: The exchange of ping pong players between the United States and the People’s Republic of China in the 1970s, referred to then as Ping Pong Diplomacy, helped ease the tension between two hostile countries. When people have an opportunity to share their passion for sports, good things can happen. The garishly excessive Olympic Games

have been hijacked by corporate interests; nevertheless, these media-driven extravaganzas allow people around the world to participate in their athletes’ quest for human excellence, but not often enough. With all the turmoil in our world, Canadians are fortunate to have the luxury of being able to casually glance at the headlines of their newspaper before flipping to the sports section and reading about their favourite hock-

Our own tax dollars used to educate us about HST To the editor: This is about Steve Thomson’s column: Simple Question To Decide HST Fate (April 24 Capital News) and the dollars to be spent for our information. Why does Steve think we have to be educated? Did he think we signed the original (stop the

HST) petition without any knowledge? This provincial government is planning to spend $1.7 million to have us informed and that is without the ridiculous “talking taxes” for tele-town hall meetings. This money could very well be spent on housing for the homeless, ad-

equate funds for children in care, meals for the hungry who require help from food banks. You get the picture? We neither need nor want our own money used to spread more propaganda. Faye Saxon, Kelowna

If our federal government could only find a way to engage the world-wide enthusiasm for recreational sports, then frustrated young men in global hot spots might be willing to trade in their AK-47s for hockey sticks and skates.

NDP and Greens have lots to say about health L

Kelowna Kinsmen Fieldhouse at Mission Sports Field Sunday, May 1, 2011 Check In: 8:30 am Start: 10 am

ast week I wrote a little about what the Conservative and Liberal parties are promising in this election when it comes to health care, mental health and poverty. As promised, this week I will highlight a little of what the NDP and Green Party say in their published platforms.

GIFFORD AND BRENDA THOMSON

60 YEARS

Dating 1949

MAY 12, 1951 - MAY 12, 2011

May 12, 1951

ifford and Brenda Thomson will soon mark 60 years of marriage and family life on the original Thomson family farm. They were married in Kelowna on May 12, 1951. It is a testament to their enduring love, and wedding vows made 60 year ago, that the family & friends will celebrate with a party to be held this weekend, at the old Packing House on the farm. The farm has been in the Thomson family since 1898. The original farm is reduced now to a small parcel along Gordon Drive and Old Meadows Road in Okanagan Mission. Some of the farm was sold to the city for sportsﬁelds, and is also now home to the Capital News Center and the H2O pool. In the days of raising their family, the farm was a dairy and hay operation. In Gifford’s and his brother Ken’s and sister Marjorie’s earlier days, it was a vegetable operation. Gifford and Brenda’s married life was a mixture of very hard work and an active social life. There was bridge (and still is), barn dances, travel, Easter ball games, hikes, canoe trips, birding, hunting, ﬁshing and genealogy. They had interests in the Okanagan Historical Society and the St. Andrews Anglican

May 12, 1951

Church. Even with a large family, they managed skiing at Big White (we recall the $100 family season’s passes), boating, and beach life with the family. There was always time for fun and parties. Brenda was instrumental in the Mission Creek Greenway project over many years and is still active and involved with the Okanagan Naturalist’s Club. Her genealogy interests included being the keeper of family history on both sides (Butler’s and Thomson’s), which was, and still is, a labour of love. It included research trips to Scotland, England, and Shetland Islands. Along with their seven children, Stephen, Gillian, Margot, Kirsty, Diana, Elizabeth and Colin there are so far 15 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. We are all proud of our family heritage and our parent’s long lasting marriage.

Paul Latimer Jack Layton and the NDP party discuss renewing the Health Accord just as the other parties do. They specify a six per cent escalator and a commitment to the Canada Health Act and a single payer system with progress on primary care, reducing the cost of prescription medication and extending health coverage to out of hospital services like home care and long term care. The NDP also wants to invest in more family doctors and nurses by training 1,200 new doctors over the next 10 years and 6,000 more training spaces for nurses in the next six years. It wants to establish programs aimed at recruiting and supporting low income, rural and aboriginal medical students. When it comes to poverty, the NDP want to enact legislation regarding affordable housing and provide significant new funding for this. It is concerned with eliminating child poverty and wants to combine existing supports to create a child benefit, increasing support steadily to $700 per child over the next four years, in addition to the current universal child care benefit. It also mentions a desire to table legislation on setting goals and targets for poverty reduction. The Green Party has a lot to say on the topics of health care, mental health and poverty. It stresses its support for the Canada Health Act and believes the problems in our health care system can be solved from within that framework. Like all the major parties, the Greens would renew the Health Accord. Greens also promise more money for staff and diagnostic equipment in hospitals as well as funding for training more doctors and nurses. They would work with the Canadian Medical Association to establish a

professionals. Student loan forgiveness for health care professionals willing to work in rural settings, expanded home support programs, more long term care beds and study into the feasibility of a national drug plan are also on the Green agenda. When it comes to mental health, a couple of the policies the Greens say they would enact include increasing transfer funding for non-institutionalized mental health patients and funding for a national mental health strategy. The Green platform states a desire to eliminate poverty. They say they would do this by removing taxes from the lowest income categories; allowing income assistance recipients to keep 100 per cent of the wages they earn up to the low income cut off; offering free transit passes for those on social assistance; extending parental leave; increasing guaranteed income supplement for seniors by 25 per cent; and establishing a guaranteed livable income. With the goal of eliminating homelessness, the Green platform says they will add a clause to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms stating everyone in Canada is entitled to safe shelter or affordable housing. Among other things, they would support the implementation of a national affordable housing plan and change the Income Tax Act to offer tax cuts for affordable housing.

With only a few days left before our election, I encourage you to get informed and, on May 2, vote for the Canada you want.

NEWS ▼ EDUCATION

Program aimed at helping more aboriginal students graduate

s promised last week, here is the continuation of the Student Transition Project fast facts on post-secondary education. Most aboriginal students enter Grade 8, but after this point, only 49 per cent will graduate from high school. This is significantly less than non-aboriginal students where the high school graduation rate is 80 per cent. Following this, only 32 per cent of aboriginal students will transition to post-secondary education within five years of leaving high school. This is why you will see many initiatives by both the post-secondary institutions and the provincial government to help aboriginal students stay in school. Another fast-fact looked at high achievers. This is the per cent of Grade 12 graduates who graduated with an overall average of 75 per cent or higher on their academic courses. Since 2004 each graduating class had about 31 per cent of its students classified as high achievers. Of these high achievers, since 2004, 52 per cent within one year of graduation enrolled in one of British Columbia’s research universities. These universities are UBC, SFU, UVic and UNBC. Another 18 per cent enrolled in either a community college or a teaching university and on average about 30 per cent didn’t enroll. Although this percent-

Parts of trail closed Starting Monday, (May 2) a small section of phase 2 of the Mission Creek Greenway will be temporarily closed for trail upgrading. Approximately 400 meters of the recreational corridor from the Layer Cake Mountain\Pinnacle Rock viewpoint to the Rock Ovens Trail will be upgraded, graded and resurfaced over the course of the following week. The trail portion is expected to be re-opened on May 7.

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens age seems high, chances are many of these students entered college or university later on. So what are the differences between those students who go into college and university straight from high school and those who don’t? Thirty-eight per cent of students who go straight from high school to post-secondary education enroll in UBC, SFU, UNBC, or UVic. For those who wait a year or two, only 12 per cent will enroll in one of these research universities— which also have the highest admission standards. Of the high school students who transition straight to college or university, 62 per cent will enroll at a teaching university, community college or technical school such as BCIT. For those who wait a year or more, this increases to 88 per cent. One of the main differences between research

universities and the other post-secondary institutions in B.C. is that the colleges, teaching universities and BCIT offer applied programs. These are programs which combine theory with applied skills. Many of these programs meet accreditation standards where upon graduation students become Red Sealed, licensed or accredited to work in various fields such as technologists, technicians, journey person etc. This data then tells us that the longer an individual puts off going to the college or university the more likely they are to enroll in a program which provides specific training for employment. At Okanagan College we have similar data, where most of our high school students enroll in our arts, science and business programs, where our adult learners tend to enroll in technology, health and trades programs. But students don’t always do what you expect them to do, and it’s surprising how many enroll in a program and change their minds. All post-secondary institutions have students who leave before they graduate. Some will tran-

sition to employment, others will transfer to another school either within or outside of B.C., and some may just need more

time to figure out exactly what they want to do. Although data paints us a pretty good picture of what’s out there, you

are bound to find a student who just didn’t fit the profile and that’s because making a decision about your education is a life

changing experience. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

Researchers aim to improve heart health for breast cancer survivors UBC Human Kinetics assistant professor Neil Eves and Master of Science student Graeme Koelwyn are conducting research that examines the heart and blood vessel function in breast cancer survivors who have

received anthracycline chemotherapy. “In breast cancer, specifically, an increasing number of people are surviving because treatments are getting better and doctors are catching it earlier,” says Koelwyn. “But

due to the nature of these treatments there may also be a growing number of people who experience post-treatment complications.” Anthracyclines are some of the most effective anti-cancer treatments

developed, but they potentially produce secondary effects in some patients. “It is well known that anthracycline chemotherapy may affect the heart during or after treatment, but we have a minimal understanding of how it

affects the blood vessels or the relationship the blood vessels have to the heart,” says Eves, an exercise physiologist. “If we can better understand this, we can potentially help breast cancer survivors live longer, healthier lives.” Working with Dr. Susan Ellard of the B.C. Cancer Agency, Eves and Koelwyn will be collecting data over the next few months by conducting measurements of blood

vessel and heart function at rest and during exercise in individuals who previously received anthracycline chemotherapy after being diagnosed for breast cancer. The research team will examine the behaviour of blood vessels and how they may affect heart function in these breast cancer survivors, and compare the findings to people of the same age who have not been affected by can-

cer. Their hope is to identify whether any earlier changes in blood vessel function that may be related to receiving anthracyline treatment can be detected before more potentially major changes in heart function occur. If there is a connection, the research may help predict cardiovascular risks in breast cancer survivors before any problems or complications occur.

ew people know I was trained as a professional clean-

I was also trained as a professional wrestler. No, just kidding about that one, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost as incredulous as the first one. Long, long ago, in a land far away (Alberta), I was a chamber maid. I actually agreed to clean hotel rooms for money. To understand how such an event could happen, I was only 18 at the time and really wanted to ski. So, I applied to a ski resort in Lake Louise, with the logic that I was old enough to serve liquor and be a waiter and make really big tips at night and ski all day. It was the perfect plan. When they phoned to offer me the chamber maid job, I figured it was just a little blip on the road to getting to where I wanted to be. Hence, the idea of cleaning someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mess didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t occur to me. I was a teenager, so of course, I had no idea what clean even meant. I had no experience or motivation to draw on. I discovered as a professional, you also have to be quick about your cleaning. All the rooms must be done before the real skiers

NUTSHELL

Shelley Nicholl return because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take too kindly if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking a nap in their bed. You also canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skimp on the cleaning. For some reason when people pay for rooms, they expect the dust bunnies to be gone and the hair in the sink to disappear. My skilled trainer said even the mirrors had to be cleaned. Who knew people cleaned mirrors? It was a challenge; having never wielded a bottle of Windex or looked at a toilet with a scrubber in my hand. As an adult, cleaning would be instinctive. You know how many toilets youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cleaned (well, not really, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the billions). You can get motivated to clean well and fast just by being told your merciless, clean-freak, mother-in-law just called and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be dropping in in half an hour. Cleaning strategy just kicks in. Or, after the game, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, everybody, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drop by Shelleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a barbecue.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the directions, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there in a few minutes.â&#x20AC;? Mops and Lysol would be flying. Also, you know that sweet sensation when everything is clean. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that quiet moment when the dust is gone, nothing is amiss and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t step on something sticky in the kitchen. It is bliss. Those moments, alas, do not last.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

CHILDREN CAN WALLOW IN THEIR MESSY STATES FOR DAYS, WEEKS, YEARS IF YOU LET THEM.

This is why if my children are going away for the weekend, I will clean the house the instant they leave so I have longer to linger in my clean house. I will stay in all weekend, eat food that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require dishes and shower at the neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just to savour this unusual experience. Just like when I was a teenager, my two teenagers in the home donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have a concept on how things get clean or

what clean means. I tell my older daughter to clean her room and she replies: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is clean. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a bunch of clothes and things on the floor and my bed isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like saying dinner is ready when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sitting in a can in the cupboard. Children can wallow in their messy states for days, weeks, years if you let them. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother them at all. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when the cleaning bug bites you, but somewhere along the line you discover it must be done. It has to be done. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand it anymore. I might have been a better chamber maid had I had instinct on my side. On the other hand, I probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have taken the job. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ My new book of humour columns about raising kids: The Case for Having Children...and other assorted irrational ideas, is on sale now.

Knife-wielder sought Police are looking for a man who approached a woman with a knife as she headed to a local bank over the Easter weekend. Around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, the 39-year-old woman was walking up to a bank near Harvey Avenue and Cooper Road to use the ATM when she heard a man’s voice yelling at her to stop. “When she turned around, she saw a male, dressed all in black, holding a knife,” said Const.

Steve Holmes. “The woman was able to run back to her car and lock her doors as the male approached.” The man then ran from the area and a police service dog was called in to search for the suspect. The dog located a backpack, containing items believed to belong to the suspect, and it was seized. During the investigation, police also detained a person of interest, but that man was later released

without charge. The police investigation is ongoing, with officers looking at getting surveillance footage from the area. No arrests have been made. If anyone has information about the incident, or saw a man clad in dark clothing in the Harvey/ Cooper area around 9:30 p.m. last Saturday, they are asked to call the RCMP at 250-762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

MacDonald set for 3rd UFC bout Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

When Kelowna mixed martial artist Rory MacDonald steps back into the UFC octagon this weekend he will be a more seasoned fighter than the one that suffered a stunning and vicious loss in his last UFC bout 10 months ago. After the fight, a lastsecond loss to Carlos Condit in June, MacDonald had to undergo knee surgery and recover mentally from the defeat in a fight he was winning handily through two rounds. “It was difficult,” MacDonald told MMAfighting.com, of the loss to Condit. “It was really hard to deal with. I need to get in there again and win this fight to really get over it.” Once healthy the

21-year-old spent time training with Canadian champion Georges St. Pierre, who will also fight this weekend in UFC 129’s main event. Before the main event though, MacDonald will get his chance to get back in the winner’s circle against another fighter with more fights under his belt. Macdonald (10-1-0) will fight former Ultimate Fighter winner Nate Diaz (13-6-0) on Saturday as part of UFC 129 in Toronto. “He’s a dangerous fighter that I take very seriously,” MacDonald said of Diaz on UFC.com. MacDonald is in the midst of a five fight contract with the UFC. He opened with an impressive win but suffered a set-

back in a bout with Condit last June. In that bout MacDonald led handily until the third round when he suffered a TKO loss with just seven seconds remaining. After recovering from knee surgery, MacDonald moved to Montreal to train at St. Pierre’s gym to get ready for his return to the ring. He spent time with St. Pierre, taking in as much advice as he could. “He teaches me a lot. Not only in the gym, as far as technique and game plan and all that stuff, which is very helpful, but he’s a very good friend and he’s helped me see how a champion trains, how he rebounds, and it’s been a great help being

around him,” MacDonald said to MMAfighting. MacDonald, who trains locally at Toshido MMA, said a lot of his training leading up to Saturday’s return to the octagon was mental. “I’ve been working on this for the last ten months,” he said. “I’ve been working on it very consciously, and the time is now to see if it paid off. It’s not just the [physical] training, but the mental training.” MacDonald’s fight is not on the main UFC 129 card in Toronto but will be available for free as a feature undercard bout that will be shown on Spike TV beginning Saturday at 5 p.m.

▼ CIVIC AWARDS

Sports community’s best are honoured For the second consecutive year, the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball squad has been named the team of the year at Kelowna’s annual Civic and Community Awards. At a ceremony held Wednesday night at the Kelowna Community Theatre, the Heat was presented with the Bryan Couling Memorial Award. As they did in 2009, the UBCO women won both the BCCAA championship and the CCAA national volleyball titles in 2010.

D N A ING R G EN OP

In February of last year, Steve Manuel’s team defeated the Vancouver Island Raiders to win the provincial championship. Two weeks later, the Heat capped off the season with a win over F.X. Garneau in the Canadian gold medal final in Gatineau, Que. “I can’t say enough about the dedication and hard work these young ladies put in,” said Manuel, in his 10th season as head coach. “It’s paid off for them in recognition and, most See Civic Awards A24

TERRY FOX point guard Bret Macdonald will play for the Heat men’s basketball team in 2011-12.

The UBC Okanagan Heat has landed one of the top prospects in B.C. high school boys basketball. Terry Fox Ravens point guard Bret Macdonald has committed to the UBCO men’s squad for the 2011-12 CIS season. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Macdonald led the Ravens to the bronze medal at the 2011 B.C. high school boys basketball championship last month. He scored 19.5 points per game and was named to the provincial championship tournament’s first all-star team. Macdonald considers himself “a pass-first point guard that can score when

needed. I like to play hard and will leave everything on the floor.” Heat head coach Darren Semeniuk agrees with Bret’s self assessment adding the his new point guard displays “good court vision and strong set of fundamentals most notably ball handling.” Macdonald appears to be up for virtually any role in his freshman campaign. “I plan on being the hardest working member of the Heat and I will do anything coach asks,” he said. “Be it in a starting role, the first or last guy off the bench, no matter what role coach needs me to fill I plan to give it everything

I possibly can.” Added Semeniuk: “I’m really excited to add a recruit of this calibre to help lead the team into the ultra-competitive Canada West conference. Bret is from the same school as Mack Roth, a player I recruited last season to help us transition to Canada West. “Every game I watched Bret play in his Grade 12 year I noticed how he just kept getting better and better.” Bret chose to attend UBC’s Okanagan campus entering the Bachelor of Arts program with an eye on transferring into Human Kinetics or education down the road.

Kelowna athletes went to the podium early and often at the annual Special Olympics swim meet which was held recently at the H20 Fitness and Adventure Centre. Kelsey Wyse, Richard Gillis and Glen McIntyre led the way for Kelowna Special Oympians at the meet which featured more than 100 swimmers from Chilliwack, Kamloops, Langley, Penticton, Prince George, Quesnel, Summerland, Surrey, Vernon and Kelowna. Results for local Special O swimmers are: â&#x20AC;˘ James Bergenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; 2nd place 50m backstroke, 50m breaststroke; third place in 100m freestyle, 100m backstroke. â&#x20AC;˘ Brenda Creaghâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; first place in 50m backstroke; second place in 50m freestyle; third place

Three local athletes competed at one of North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest high school track meets last weekend south of the border and turned in some positive results. At the University of Oregon meet in Eugene, Elisa Joyce finished an impressive third overall in the high school girls 400 metres in a time of 58.51 seconds. In the 200 metres, Adele and Elisa Joyce placed ninth and 11th, respectively. Adele crossed the line with a PB of 26.14, while Elisa came in at 26.31. In the 100 metres, Adele was ninth in a personal best time of 12.86. Cody Hutton, in his first international meet, posted a time of 24.82 in the 200 metres and 57.76 in the 400 metres.

Montgomery-Waardenburg to Thompson Rivers U f

Kelowna Owls’ guard Jade Montgomery-Waardenburg has committed to the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack for the 2011-12 Canada West women’s basketball season. Montgomery-Waardenberg is one of three new recruits signed to the tWolfpack by head coach Scott Reeves. “Jade is a great athlete that can shoot it from three point range,” said Reeves. “She applies a lot of pressure on the ball and will fit our defensive philosophy very well.” Montgomery-Waardenberg had a 55 per cent

success rate on field goals this past season. She averaged 14.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game with an Owls team which went 20-12 in 2010-11. “I think I could really produce for the team,” Montgomery-Waarden-

burg said of her impending role with TRU. “I play really hard and am a team player not only on the court but I’m also involved getting into the community as well.” Montgomery-Waardenberg was coached the past three seasons by

Lisa Nevoral. The former OUC and UBC player has worked with Reeves in the past (2008-09) with the B.C. Under-15 girls program. “Jade was my team captain for three years because she wasn’t only vocal but she could get

things done,” Nevoral said. “She was our top scorer this year. Not only could she score well, but distribute the ball too. She was fiery on defence and got many steals. If I needed a play to get done, I wanted the ball in Jade’s

hands.” Montgomery-Waardenberg was an Okanagan Valley all-star with the Owls this past season. She also won back-to-back junior All Native Championships (JANT) in 2010 and 2011 while garnering all-star honours.

City in Action

pring is the best time to divide and/ or move ornamental grasses and summer and fall blooming perennials. (Perennials are plants that die to the ground in winter and regrow from their roots in spring. They do not have a woody stem.) When I sold my nursery and moved to this garden I brought many plant friends with me and planted them in the existing vegetable garden. It became my ‘nursery bed’ – a collection of plants waiting for me to make garden beds for them. Seven years later, I am still happily moving plants around to try pieces in various conditions. My main focus is to group plants by water needs and

put them in their ideal amount of sun or shade. Each new garden bed gets lots of organic matter worked into the soil (manure, compost, etc.) because it’s very hard to improve soil once the plants are in it. Good soil means peak performance, healthy plants and reduced maintenance. The main reasons I divide plants are to make more clumps of a particular plant, to rejuvenate a plant that has died

Attention Pool Owners

Did you know that improper discharge could result in a ﬁne of up to $2,000? The City’s Sanitary Sewer/Storm Drain Regulation Bylaw restricts the discharge of swimming pool or hot tub water that contains disinfectants such as Chlorine or Bromine. You may drain your pool to a dry area on your own lot over a long period of time. However, if you intend to drain your pool into the storm drain or sanitary sewer, there is a procedure you must follow: 1. Dechlorinate the water in your pool. Products are available at local retail outlets for this purpose. 2. Contact the City of Kelowna Water Quality Staﬀ. They may wish to check the chlorine levels in the water and approve discharge to the storm drain or sanitary sewer. INFO: 250 469-8502

out in the centre, to curtail a plant that has spread too far or to relieve overcrowding. Before dividing or moving a plant, I make sure the roots are well soaked. I dig all around it to get as much root as possible. If I want many new plants, I wash the soil off the roots so I can see where to snip to make sure there is at least one growing shoot on each bunch of roots I divide. Then I pot them up or replant right away. If I’m dividing a large clump, I find it’s easier to cut it with a spade while in the ground. It’s best to replant right away. If I can’t, I put the plants in a shaded spot in a big pot and make sure the roots don’t dry out.

Before planting, I fill the planting hole with water and let it drain and I make sure the plant roots are moist by dunking them in a bucket of water. A warning: it’s best to discard plants that have invasive weed roots like couch grass or morning glory in them. If it’s a plant you cannot part with, wash all the soil off the roots and be sure to remove all the weed roots. Also watch for weed in any plants you bring into your garden.

The B.C. government’s outreach on the harmonized sales tax got underway Wednesday evening with telephone town hall meetings for Surrey and the Peace River region, the first of a series of regional forums that aims to ring every listed home phone in B.C. A phone forum is planned for the Okanagan on May 9. The first forum was originally set for Tuesday evening in the southern coast and northern Vancouver Island areas, but was postponed because of the Vancouver Canucks playoff game. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon, who will take questions at some of the forums, said further schedule changes may be made to avoid calling people on future Canucks game nights. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom is sharing the town hall duties with Falcon. Lekstrom was in the hotseat Wednesday in the Peace River region, his home base. Lekstrom has been given a high profile in the government’s HST effort since returning to the B.C. Liberal caucus after quitting last year due to his constituents’ protests over the introduction of the HST. He said Wednesday he expects to hear questions about the workings of the HST, and also some of the objections that have

battered the B.C. Liberal government since the tax was introduced. But after people have lived with the HST for nearly 10 months, Lekstrom said he is more optimistic it will be supported in a mail-in referendum set to begin in mid-June. He credits new Premier Christy Clark’s effort to give the public a say. “The willingness to go out and engage the public in these telephone town hall meetings, the opportunity to have their views heard, is exactly what should have happened 18 months ago,” Lekstrom said. Subject to change as the Vancouver Canucks playoff run continues, the schedule is as follows: Kootenay, April 28, 6:30 p.m. (7:30 Mountain time) Richmond-South Delta and North Shore, April 28, 7:15 p.m. Southern Interior, May 3, 6:45 p.m. Victoria, May 3, 7:15 p.m. Northern Interior and North Coast, May 4, 6:45 p.m. Burnaby, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster, Coquitlam, May 4, 7:15 p.m. Okanagan, May 9, 6:45 p.m. Fraser Valley, May 9, 7:15 p.m. Vancouver, May 12, 6:45 p.m. (Calls for May 3, 4, 9 and 12 may be moved due to Canucks games.)

Accompanying singers teaches pianist to let the music breath Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Next week, when the symphony’s accompaniment stops and Kinza Tyrrell’s magic fingers start their solo the dynamics should test the range of one’s heart, ears and very understanding of music. An accomplished pianist who serves as principle repetiteur and music director of Vancouver Opera in Schools, Tyrrell will offer the icing on the cake for the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra’s Masterworks Series V—Spirit of the North. Playing The Grieg Concerto, a popular piece with a myriad of pop culture ties from Twin Peaks to Otis and Milo and even a Nike ad, the piece is already palatable to a very wide audience. The musician said her interpretation is one that aims to please. “I try to really bring a big range of dynamics from the really soft and sensitive to the real-

winds up finding something new and different in the music. A concerto has three

movements, a fast-paced intro followed by a slower, beautiful second section, which leads into an even faster up-beat ending. Spending her days with opera singers, frequently stepping in to sing their parts in rehearsal for those who might need to save their instrument, Tyrrell said she’s learned to play her pieces on piano as though this was her day job. “I had a teacher way back and he always said to me: Play this phrase like you’re a singer,” she explained, admitting it took time to understand what that meant, how the flow and breath and depth of the instrument draws from that human touch. “I must not allow my hands or arms to breath when they want, they must breath where a singer would breath, so you get this sense of legato, this lengthening,” she said. “Otherwise, we play each note and bang each note and we don’t get the

sense of a horizon. We just play very vertically.” It’s one piece of a lifetime’s worth of advice that has made her the accomplished star she is today. A Victoria native, Tyrrell made her orchestral debut at age 12 with the Victoria Symphony. She has studied with Hans Graf at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria and J.S. Benda at the Graz Musikhochschule. Over the years, she has also studied with

world-renowned pianists Jon Kimura Parker, Anton Kuerti and Gyorgy Sebok. She won the 2003 Bösendorfer Prize from the Opera Coaching division of the International Belvedere Opera Competition in Vienna and holds a doctorate of piano and vocal coaching from McGill University. The OSO’s Spirit of the North includes I Send Only Angels, from Canadian composer Marcus Goddard and Jean Sibel-

ius’s Symphony No. 5. All three composers are from northern countries, Goddard from Canada, Sibelius from Finland and Grieg from Norway. The concerts run Friday, May 6 at the Kelowna Community Theatre, May 7 at the Penticton Trade & Convention Centre and May 8 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre.

The script is often over-the-top with corny lines and action movie clichés, but the filmmakers again out-do themselves with car stunts and Johnson so obviously overacts that he must have chosen to play the character because of how much fun he could have with it. As for the plot—all you need to know is that it is a heist movie set in Rio de Janeiro.

Looking for a great story in a movie like Fast Five is like expecting explosions in a movie like The King’s Speech. Rated 14A with a warning of violence. When the first Hoodwinked movie came out, it became one of my favourite animated movies. It definitely did not have the best animation, but the non-linear film-noir-comedy-musical take on the Little Red Riding Hood story was unlike anything

I had seen before. Best described as “what if Quentin Tarantino made an animated movie for kids,” one scene that sticks in my mind was after a flurry of activity, a squirrel fell from the sky and when it landed it opened its mouth and a flash of light came from it. I remember thinking: I have no idea what just happened, but it was awesome! Of course, because the story was told in a non-

linear fashion, from several different points of view, I found out the back-story to that scene. What I dearly hope is that with Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS. Evil, they can recapture the off-beat comedy and storytelling that the filmmakers successfully did in the original. This time, they take on another of Grimm’s Fairy Tales as Red and the Wolf are called upon to examine the mysterious disappearance of Hansel and Gretel. Rated General with a warning of violence. Considering I am about 25 years older than the audience Prom is geared to, it is tough for me to write about. However, I think the title almost says it all but for those who want a synopsis, it is from the Walt Disney Company and is the story of a group of teenagers who find their lives intersecting and their futures taking shape as they prepare for the biggest night of high school. Rated General with a warning of violence. Rick Davis is the manager of the Capitol Theatre in West Kelowna. capitol_wes@ landmarkcinemas.ca

So much happening at Covert Farms

ocavorian superheroes in the world of organic living, the Covert family continues to lead through sustainable, organic farming practices providing our community with the very best food and wine—the real, old-fashioned way.

FOOD & WINE TRAILS

CONTRIBUTED

GENE AND SHELLY COVERT (left) with wine-

Jennifer maker Kirby Froese and his wife Crystal Froese in the Schell Covert Farm’s wineshop. This amazing organic farm currently offers a market, restaurant, winery, u-pick options with much more in the works this year like an organic delivery service and a new corn maze. Winners of the 2010 BC Outstanding Young Farmer Award, the Coverts are now spreading their seeds of knowledge to the next generation. Being parents to young children, proprietors Gene and Shelly Covert take the future of our planet very seriously and strive to build a better, healthier world for us all. This year, they will be offering two amazing kids summer organic camps. Working with David Friend from Victoria (also known as Mr. Organic), David has been running his Growing Young Farmers programs working with the university on the island. The full-day camps will be one week in length and will offer children a true hands-on farming experience. These lucky kids will learn how to grow food organically; will be educated on the importance of growing your own food and also learn how to set up their own backyard garden. For more information and to sign up your future gardener, go to: www. covertfarms.ca. For more information on David Friend, visit www.friendlyorganics.ca. This June residents from Osoyoos to Summerland can sign up for Covert Farms’ new weekly basket delivery. Loaded with the season’s best organic fruit and veggies and delivered to your door, their online shopping site will also feature “add-ons” to your order—like meats and cheeses from partnering artisans, organic egg producers and wine too. Planning to continue deliveries for most of

the year, in the off-season participants can enjoy frozen, dried and canned products. Go to covertfarms.ca for more information and to sign up. Guests of the farm’s fabulous organic market restaurant will now be able to order up a glass of their Dunham & Froese wine to enjoy while gazing across their rolling farmland. Made with 100% organic Covert estate grown grapes, their wines continue to win acclaim for their purity and

fantastic blends. www. dunhamfroese.ca Make sure to sign up for Dunham & Froese’s new wine club. With tons of benefits attached, like receiving first access to newly released wines, discounts, as well as first access to their coveted library wines, membership is a must. New members will also receive a Covert Farms $20 gift certificate. Watch for news of the new bubbles in the future—D&H have a sparkling wine in the works.

The farm and winery are also excited about becoming involved with the Meadow Lark Festival this year. This amazing festival, in its 13th year, celebrates the natural beauty of the environment in the South Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. Plans are to incorporate a wine tasting with a hike up McIntyre Bluff—the amazing backdrop mountain at Covert Farms. www.meadowlarkfestival.bc.ca More fun to come: Mark down Aug. 20 to 21 for an incredible two-day event on the farm: The Covert Organics Festival of the Family. With live music including main act Five Alarm Funk, this is going to be rollicking fun weekend. To make it over the top fun, plan to camp on the farm overnight. There will be outdoor showers and facilities available and a pancake breakfast in the morning. Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C. Wine Trails Magazine. jennschell@shaw.ca twitter.com/theclubkitchen

Is Your Son or Daughter Graduating This Year?

▼ PARTNERSHIP

Black Press on board with Games Travis Paterson CONTRIBUTOR

Black Press has signed on as media partner of the province’s Summer and Winter Games. B.C. Games president and CEO Kelly Mann was in Vernon last week, to help the host city launch the official countdown for the 2012 B.C. Winter Games, set for Feb. 23 to 26. In tandem with the launch, Mann announced the four-year partnership between the games and Black Press, parent company of Kelowna Capital News. “While we sponsor literally thousands of events each year, the games, both winter and summer are on a scale that is one of the largest opportunities to engage our readers across B.C.,” said Candy Hodson, senior vice-president of national sales and marketing for Black Press. “In covering the B.C. Games, it allows Black Press to also showcase our best—we bring togeth-

er ‘local’ on a provincial scale,” she said. Mann agreed the shared focus on athletic promotion in the community between the B.C. Games and Black Press is a perfect fit. “Black Press papers and the Winter and Summer Games are in virtually every community in B.C. Black Press will provide extensive coverage and advertising to support the B.C. Games and share the story of how the games impact athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers and communities.” The partnership will coincide with four games, the 2012 Summer Games in Surrey and the 2014 Winter and Summer Games in Mission and Nanaimo, respectively. From his downtown Victoria office, Mann overlooks the antique section of Fort Street. It’s just a few blocks down the road from Oak Bay High, where he graduated in 1976. It was there that Mann became deeply rooted

with the values of youth sports, playing and managing school teams. He’s been with B.C. Games since 1992 but also co-founded the Kidsport Greater Victoria chapter in 2002, one of the most successful in the country. When president Randy Blair of the Black Press’ Lower Mainland division proposed the newspaper chain become one of three corporate sponsors, Mann knew the opportunity at hand. “We want people to understand the competitive support system in athletic development in B.C.,” Mann said. “You don’t hear of Ryder Hesjedal as a B.C. Games athlete, you hear of him as a Tour de France competitor. We talk about athletes like they fell out of a tree but really they’ve had a support network since they were eight. This (partnership) will add greater depth to the role of athletes and the support network of the development stage.” Victoria Times

Place a keepsake Graduation ad in the paper for only $50 (color incl. + HST) The Capital News will be publishing this feature page on June 12, 2011. We would like to do a before & after Graduation theme this year to add a little fun. Please send us a baby picture plus a graduation picture & a short write up before May 27, 2011.

DRINKING WATER WEEK MAY1-7

Here in B.C. we often take ke our ta tap ap water for granted, but itt is a ﬁnite ﬁn nite resource that we should d value and protect.

We need to value our drinking water When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out,do you ever stop to think: how does it get there? Who brings it you? Where does it end up when you’re finished with it? BC Water & Waste Association and the Province of British Columbia have officially proclaimed Drinking Water Week May 1st to 7th, 2011. We invite you to celebrate this exciting week by “getting to know your H2O” – including where it comes from, where it goes, and how you can protect and conserve it.Here in B.C., where we have an abundance of natural resources, we often take our tap water for granted. However, there is no such thing as ‘new water’ – the water that we use continually cycles through the environment, and is reused again and again. British Columbians personally use an average of 490 litres of water per day compared to the Canadian average of 329 litres per day. That is about double what Europeans use!Although it may not be ap-parent to all of us, the costs and energy required to deliver water to our taps, treat it to be safe and clean, and safeguard the environment by managing wastewater, add up to billions of dollars every year in Canada. Daisy Foster, CEO of the 4,400-member BC Water & Waste Association notes, “Increases in our population, the growth of

industry and agriculture, and the effects of climate change all place enormous pressure on our water supply.”Drinking Water Week, May 1st - 7th, is dedicated to creat-ing awareness of the value of our water, our water systems, and the people who make it accessible and safe for us to drink. Many communities throughout B.C. are holding events to celebrate Drinking Water Week, including hosting tours of their local reservoirs and treatment plants, and we encourage you to take the time to visit them. Check your local newspaper to find out about events in your community, or visit www.drinkingwaterweek. org for activities and educational resources provided by the BC Water & Waste Association.

Water at a glance

Q 25% of Canadians have no idea where the water that ﬂows out of their taps comes from. Q Canadians use an average of 329 litres of water per day - twice the amount used by Europeans. However, the average Canadian thinks they use only 79 litres per day. Q Canadians admit to knowingly engaging in water wasting activities such as leaving the tap running while washing dishes (44%) and hosing down their driveways (19%). Q Canadians are more concerned with saving electricity than water: 29% of Canadians don’t know what they pay for their water, but only 10% don’t know what they pay for their electricity bill. *Source: 2010 Canadian Water Attitudes Study, commissioned by RBC and Unilever Canada

But public reaction to concept cars is what the automakers live for as it provides a barometer of trends and what consumers want. Here are some of the concept standouts at this year’s New York Auto Show.

TO UNDERLINE how serious Nissan is about electric

cars, it showed the Nismo RC at NewYork. Based on the all-electric LEAF sedan the racer accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 6.85 seconds. Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

NEWYORK CITY— This year’s New York Auto Show was strangely different from those that have gone before. With the Shanghai Auto Show going on at the same time, manufackturers were left having to decide where to display what. If you have just one concept car, do you take it to China, which is now the biggest market for cars in the world, or do you go to New York, which is fast becoming the most important car show in the tWest? Some, like MercedesBenz with the Concept A-Class, or Volkswagen with the new Beetle did both. Nissan, Kia, Fiat and Ford went for New York, and on the whole, I think New York got the better of the deal. Besides more than a dozen world premieres in New York, there were a host of North American debuts of some pretty significant vehicles. Here are some of the world premieres at New York.

4 YR / 80,000 KM NO-CHARGE MAINTENANCE INCLUDED

NISSAN

It was a very good show for Nissan with the all-electric LEAF being named the World Car of the Year by an international jury of automotive writers. The recognized leader in all-electric cars, Nissan showed the LEAF Nismo RC (Racing Competition) racecar. Nissan is now looking at the racing world as a way to draw attention to the seemingly untapped potential of electric vehicles. In preliminary testing the Nismo RC accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 6.85 seconds and has a top speed of 93 miles per hour. It is projected to have a running time of around 20 minutes under racing conditions. But the biggest news in New York from Nissan was the showing of the allnew Versa sedan. Gone are the quirky lines, replaced by a more contemporary design because the Versa will now be a “world car” to be sold in all Nissan markets.

MORE CURVES and a swoopier design give the Infiniti M a new look for 2011. This flagship car also gets more power, a more refined interior and loads of new technology like Lane Departure Prevention and Infiniti’s new Forest Air system.

Infiniti style leaps forward Infiniti from B8 leap forward in style, taking its cues from the company’s sleek and sensuous Essence show car. Which is a good thing if you’ve ever Googled it, or have seen it at various auto shows where it’s been featured worldwide. The new M is longer, lower and wider with a long hood and high rear deck. Its powerful, sculpted fenders and large alloy wheels contribute to a sporty appearance that is, at the same time, upscale and elegant. I could wax poetically about the signature Infiniti

double-arch grille, wavelike trunk and 0.27 coefficient of drag for a few more sentences, but after a week behind the wheel, I firmly believe the real story is one of technology. But let’s first get a few basics out of the way. The M is available in four main variants: V6 or V8 powered, and in rearwheel-drive or all-wheel drive. There is also a RWD ‘Sport’ model available with each engine choice. The base M (MSRP $52,400), gets a 3.7-litre, 24-valve DOHC V6 with a Variable Valve Event & Lift, which helps improve

performance, emissions and fuel economy. It is rated at 330 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque, up 27 hp and 8 lb/ft versus the previous 3.5-litre V6. The M37x AWD adds intelligent all-wheeldrive for another $2,500. And top of the heap, at least for V6 models, is the M37 Sport that starts at $63,400—my tester for the week. These MSRPs may seem a bit steep, but the M is aggressively priced when you consider some of the competition: BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-

DriveWise Educates BC High School Students With only 10 to 15 per cent of new drivers attending a full driver training program in British Columbia these days, many new drivers are not getting the message about the dangers of distracted driving. With graduation just around the corner, DriveWise has prepared a valuable teaching program for all. DriveWise has been busy with their mobile driving simulator, taking it around the province to show teenage drivers what it’s really like to text and drive, talk on a phone and drive or drive while impaired. So far, many schools in Victoria, Nanaimo and Kelowna have been fortunate

to have this program delivered to them, free of charge. DriveWise is also a part of the P.A.R.T.Y. program every Thursday in Victoria and monthly in Nanaimo, as well as the Nanaimo Dry Grad program. “We are thrilled to be a part of the school curriculum to help educate new drivers on the dangers of distracted driving,” says Kate Wells, manager of DriveWise throughout British Columbia. The program has groups of students enter the DriveWise Driving Simulator trailer to experience what it’s really like being in a distracted driving environment. The simulator can simulate different scenarios such as:

• Impaired driving with other road users • Texting while driving • Inexperienced driving with back seat passengers “We are very busy this time of year because of graduation coming up. We need to send a strong message that serious collisions can happen to anyone if wrong decisions are made,” Wells says. “Driving a vehicle is a huge responsibility and students need to be aware of the consequences of such actions.” For more information on school programs, please contact DriveWise at 250475-0666 in Victoria. • Road Test Packages • Get 6 Months Off your ‘N’ • Get School Graduation Credits

Infiniti takes style cues from its sensuous Essence show car Infiniti from B9

CONTRIBUTED

WOOD TRIM, double-stitched leather and well-fitted metallic accents add refinement to the 2011 Infiniti Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior layout. Careful attention was paid to the location, grouping and shapes of controls.

Class and Audi A6. And you do get a lot in terms of amenities and driver aids. One of these is Active Noise Control, which monitors cabin noise with two mikes in the ceiling and then generates sound from the four door speakers to cancel it. On the outside, the Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard equipment includes rain-sensing wipers, HID xenon headlights with adaptive front lighting, power folding/ heated side mirrors with reverse tilt-down, 18-inch alloys and dual exhaust finishers. I was surprised at the $11,000 price gap between the entry and Sport models, especially since this trim level doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include AWD. But the long list of driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aidsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; some call them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nanny technologiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;can easily justify the added cost. Here are a few highlights: Forward Collision Warning uses the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laser range finder (from intelligent cruise control) to determine whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ahead and whether or not youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re closing in too fast. If so, it beeps and gives you a visual warning. If you still havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clued in, Intelli-

gent Brake Assist intervenes by applying the brakes to reduce impact. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP): these work hand-in-hand using a small camera to detect lane markers in front of the vehicle and then provide a warning if you begin to drift. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t correct, the system gently brakes on the opposite side to guide you back into your lane. Blind Spot Warning (BSW) alerts you when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another vehicle on either side and then beeps (while flashing an indicator) if you signal. Ignore the warning and start moving over, and Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) selectively brakes on the opposite side to help bring you back to the centre. For both LDP and BSI, the braking is subtle, but provides just enough feedback to get your attention. Also available with the Sport Package is 4-Wheel Active Steering, which, depending on the vehicle speed and the steering angle, steers the rear wheels in-phase with the front wheels. This provides more agile handling at lower speeds, and a more stable feel at higher speeds. Also included are larger rotors (14-inch front/13.8-inch rear instead of 12.6/12.1) and 20-inch alloys instead of standard 18-inchers. Infinitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Forest Air system, which is also standard on Sport and part of the Touring and Technology package, uses sensors to open and close intakes to reduce dust and unwelcome odours, as well as a grape polyphenol filter and new Plasmacluster air purifier to filter out allergens and mold. The system also prevents the A/C from overdrying incoming air. The top trim M37 also includes a hard drive navigation system with eightinch colour touch-screen display, cooling as well as heating for the front seats, heated steering wheel, power sunshade and an upgraded 14-speaker Bose Studio Surround sound system. New for 2011 is In-

finiti Drive, which allows you to dial in one of four driving modes: Standard, Eco, Sport or Snow. The system adjusts throttle sensitivity and transmission mapping accordingly. Eco mode, for example, is mapped for fuel efficiency and provides feedback in two waysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an instrument panel display, and an accelerator pedal that pushes back lightly when you push too hard. Rated at 330 horses, the 3.7 delivers impressive launch and passing powerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;along with a nice, throaty exhaust note. The 5.6-litre direct injection V8 found in the M56 takes this to a higher level. At 420 hp and 417 lb/ft of torque (up 95 hp and 81 lb/ft versus the previous 4.5-litre V8) this M variant provides the kind of power youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d find in some even higherpriced Bimmers, Mercs and Audis. I believe that Infiniti designs some of the best interiors in the business, and the M37 is no exception. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pleasing blend of artistry and ergonomics that you can see in the warm and inviting surrounds that include handcrafted wood accents, double-stitched leather appointments, well laid out soft-touch controls, and chrome and aluminum trim. Panel gaps are extremely tight, materials are high quality, and the symmetry and harmony that exist among the instruments, displays, controls and accents speaks to the thoughtfulness that went into the selection and placement of each. With these kinds of improvements, sales of the 2011 M have outpaced the 2010 model by a factor of more than 4:1. Which all adds up to this sedan being a worthy contender in its segment and more than worthy of its role as Infinitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s halo car. Styling of the 2011 Infiniti M vehicles clearly quotes from the sleek and elegant Essence show car that Infiniti has been featuring at auto shows around the world for the past year. That car is more See Infiniti B11

than simply a design exercise, and is providing Infiniti with a template for future and current models. Granted the 2011 Mline is not quite as swoopy and sensuous as the Essence, but it is lower, wider and longer than the routgoing model, and its lines—especially those of the fenders which are obviously Essence-inspired. Unfortunately the grille doesn’t angle back like the Essence (and current Maserati models), but maybe that would have affected the M’s very low 0.27 coefficient of drag. Sure would have looked good, though.

BRUCE, PHYLLIS J. (nee Smith) Passed away on April 26, 2011 in Kelowna, BC at the age of 93 years.

BREWER, DORIS MARY It is with great sadness that, after a courageous battle with dementia we announce the passing of Doris Mary Brewer, at the age of 83. She is survived by her daughter Gail James, son-in-law Alan James, grandson Quentin James and sister-in-law Hilda Lesmeister. Doris was predeceased by her husband Douglas Brewer, her sister Margaret Clifton, brothers Walter and Michael Lesmeister. Doris was born in Saskatchewan but moved to Kelowna at a very young age. She saw many changes over the 75 years that she lived in the city. Doris was an avid gardener and enjoyed walking, baking for her family, and always had a smile and a helping hand for her friends. One of her greatest pleasures was baking apple pies for her grandson. The family would like to thank the nurses and care aids at Spring Valley care center for the loving care they gave Doris in her final days. Their kindness and devotion to their vocation is greatly appreciated. At Doris’s request a Celebration of her life will be held at the home of Gail & Alan James, at 1701 Vineyard Drive in West Kelowna, on Sunday, May 1, 2011 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm. Please drop by and share your memoires.

I had to buy a ranch to do it!” Following his dream, Jim and his young family bought the Casorso Ranch in 1960 and moved to Kelowna from Aztec, New Mexico. For years thereafter, they operated as Kelowna Ranches, also buying and running the Bulman and Chilco Ranches, then further evolving into land development under Ellison Estates.

BALDEO, ALBERT HENRY Rev. Albert Baldeo, “Tropic Al,” passed away at his home in Kelowna, BC on April 25th, 2011, lovingly surrounded by his wife of 48 years Beryl, their three daughters Ramona (Felis), Kim (Ron), and Kaylyn (Craig), and their eight grandchildren, (Keanna, Zachary, Kara, Elody, Rachel, Abby, Matthew, and Luke). It brought to a close a remarkable life on earth, a life shared and beautifully co-created with his beloved spouse. A life full of love and laughter. A life given to God and others. Born in Penal, Trinidad on April 21, 1930, Albert was one of 7 children born to Elodie and Arthur Baldeo. He was a teacher for ten years in Trinidad before studying Theology at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick and St. Stephen’s Theological Seminary in Edmonton, Alberta. It was at St. Stephen’s where he charmed a beautiful rural Alberta girl named Beryl Hobbs. They fell in love, married, and moved back to Trinidad, where he served as a Presbyterian Minister for 8 years. While they were in the Caribbean, Albert and Beryl were very active in both church and community, setting the template for future places of service. In 1971, the Baldeo family moved to Canada, where Albert served in the United Church of Canada for over thirty years. They have lived in Kelowna since 1981, where Albert was minister of St. Paul’s United Church until his “retirement” in 1995. Rev. Baldeo’s life and work, of course, could not be contained in a simple job description. In his preaching, in his public prayers, in the thousands of weddings and funerals he officiated, he demonstrated his enormous gifts as an orator - part passionate prophet, part stand-up comedian. He loved to entertain with humour, and lots of it. He also loved to encourage others to look heavenward, to embrace life with an “attitude of gratitude.” This was seen in his poems – over the years, he wrote thousands of positive and uplifting rhymes and gave them freely to family, friends, and strangers. He wrote a weekly column of pastoral reflections in the Capital News. He was Kelowna’s Chaplain, its Spiritual Concierge, and he was honoured to be part of “the hands and feet of God” in his own city. To that end, Albert was devoted to Rotary International. And he nurtured, advocated, and raised funds for countless organizations related to poverty and other social causes. Aids Kelowna, The United Way, and the Union Gospel Mission were just a few that benefitted. In 1983, he was Kelowna’s Citizen of the year. In 1992 and 2002, he received the Queen’s Commemorative Medal. And in 2003, he was presented with the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award. An opportunity to pay your last respects and to visit with the family will be on Friday, April 29, 2011 from 7 – 9 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. A Funeral Service will be on Saturday, April 30, 2011 at 10:30 am from Trinity Baptist Church, 1905 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC It not a cliché to say he was loved by all who met him, for he took great interest in the thoughts and feelings of anyone he met. Survived by his wife Beryl, his three daughters and families, his sister Sybil (Rani) Sankar and his brothers Alfred and Gerry Baldeo,Rev. Albert Baldeo will be deeply missed. Minister. Husband. Father. Teacher. Mentor. Friend. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the”Rev.Albert Baldeo Memorial Fund “For further information call Central Okanagan Foundation 250-861-6160 #217-1889-Springfield Rd. Kelowna BCV1Y5V5 Please make cheques payable to the Central Okanagan foundation and indicate “In Memory of Albert Baldeo” in the notes section.

Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what’s to be, A resting place along the road, To sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We are all meant to learn some things, But never meant to stay… Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know. For some the jouney’s quicker, For some the journey’s slow. And when the journey ﬁnally ends, We’ll claim a great reward, And ﬁnd an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord. (Author unknown)
