Need to further protect our water New protection zone advised for drinking water sources, says aquatic biologist.
A FORTISBC CREW works on a utility pole that was badly damaged when the historic Beaverdell Hotel burned to the ground on Monday morning.
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
An 85-metre zone of protection around drinking water reservoir lakes and transmission creeks has been recommended by a local aquatic biologist in a presentation to the managers of water utilities in B.C. Heather Larratt was speaking at a meeting of the Water Supply Association of B.C. in Kelowna Friday on a study she undertook of source water protection zones. “There’s no substitute for source water protection,” she warned. Although existing uses would likely have to be grandfathered, such a requirement could be applied to proposals for any new construction or activities, she noted. In fact, she questioned whether we shouldn’t be purchasing back the lakeSee Protect A15

Lawsuits and ownership battle plagued lost historic landmark Jennifer Smith & Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTERS
Residents of Beaverdell are mourning the loss of the historic Beaverdell Hotel, which had been embroiled in a lengthy legal battle prior to being obliterated by a fire early Monday morning. Police on scene confirmed two provincial fire marshals out of Kam-

loops and Vernon, and a local investigator out of Kelowna, are sifting through the meager charred remains of the more than 100-year-old structure found fully engulfed in flames at 2 a.m. Monday, in an attempt to
find evidence. “We’re only in the preliminary stages of the investigation,” Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison confirmed in an interview Tuesday. “We are certainly looking at all of the possibilities out there.” The investigation is bound to be a “lengthy” one, he said, noting investigators don’t have any witnesses, for example, who might have spot-
ted anyone in the vicinity around the time the fire would have started. “Any arson investigation is a difficult investigation to perform,” he said. Considered the oldest operating hotel in B.C., Beaverdell fire chief Bill Wellwood said the blaze at the heritage site follows the burning of Tyrone Daum’s house in BeaverSee Landmark A3

NEWS ▼ BEAVERDELL HOTEL
Police say fire investigation likely to be a ‘lengthy’ one Landmark from A1 dell last month. Daum was listed as the owner of the hotel until November 2010 when assessment records indicate title was transferred to a numbered company, of which Daum is not listed as a director. Nevertheless, residents and the fire chief indicated they are under the understanding Daum is the owner. “I know he had insurance on the hotel, but I don’t know about the house,” Wellwood said in an interview on scene. He reported seeing someone from an insurance company at the hotel site in the immediate aftermath of the fire, but little else is known. According to court documents, Daum had been fighting with the previous owners, Mary Ellen and Eugene Katchin, after a lease arrangement went south around the time Daum tried to purchase the property in what he characterized as a leaseto-own scenario. The court battle ended a year ago with Daum

awarded title. The Katchins had taken out a mortgage in 2001, with Bryan and Leona Rosekrans acting as guarantors. Court documents indicate in 2005 Daum believed he entered into a lease-to-own agreement to make payments, after the Katchin’s collected a $20,000 down payment from himself and a girlfriend under an understanding he would pay for the rest of the property at a later date. The Katchins denied in a statement of de-
fense that they had a written agreement to sell; although they indicated there was an oral lease agreement on the property. Daum assumed responsibility for running the hotel at that time and the Katchins left town. According to the court documents, Daum indicated he was in a position to pay the parties out in 2008, around the time he received two offers on the property—one for $700,000 and the other for $800,000—which were more than double

Damaged remains continued to smolder Monday. what he had agreed to pay the Katchins. But the documents allege Eugene Katchin then broke into the hotel, changed the locks and started to liquidate Daum’s belongings from the property, although Daum had sunk $100,000 into the building to run it as a tourist attraction. The Katchins deny the allegations outright and criminal charges were never filed against either Katchin. In 2009, the
Rosekrans requested a foreclosure order, indicating in court documents the Katchins had defaulted on their mortgage. The status of that action is unknown. The court ordered title be granted to Daum in January 2010 and in November of that year it was then transferred to the numbered company. Meanwhile, Beaverdell residents are wondering how they will cope with the heart of the town gone. The hotel was well-
known as a tourist stop for cyclists along the Kettle Valley Railway and motorcycle enthusiasts who would line their bikes up out front for a picture before visiting the few remaining shops in town. “People are just crying,” said Lorna Hollingsworth. “When the town was active, it was like everybody’s front room. Weddings, birthdays, you went to the hotel.” Constructed in 1897, The Beaverdell Hotel opened in July 1901 un-
der trapper D.W. Smith’s name as Smith’s Hotel. Roughly 1,000 prospectors were living in the area at the time. The town grew with the opening of the Bell Mine, which transferred hands several times before becoming the first large mine Teck Corporation (later Teck Cominco) owned in B.C. The mine closed in 1991, and the hotel was one of the few remaining attractions and anchor for the Beaverdell town site.
▼ HISTORICAL BUILDING
Link to Beaverdell’s early history lost with burning of old hotel Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Trying to date the Beaverdell Hotel appears to be a difficult matter. Court documents from the latest ownership battle indicate Tyrone Daum’s camp pegged the date it was built at 1897—although locals said that Mary Ellen and Eugene
NG I CH I R N E
Katchin did considerable research in this area and may have been the ones to establish that date. A plaque in the Beaverdell historical scrapbook indicates this may make sense. The plaque is inscribed with a Dogwood flower and shows the government establishes its construction before 1900, though newspaper ad-
vertisements peg its opening as a hotel in July 1901 under the name Smith’s Hotel. D.W. Smith, or Trapper Smith as he was known to locals, purchased the property with the understanding there were at least 1,000 prospectors in the area who would need a place to stay. The area was known for its silver, zinc and lead ore.
Over the years the hotel has transferred owners more times than anyone locally could count—though they do count the last fire at the building among one of the more memorable events in town. In 1979, just months after the volunteer fire brigade purchased its first truck, the hotel caught fire. “They were out there read-
ing the manuals, it was so new,” Don Gardner said of the truck. In town since 1947, Gardner is one of the roughly 20 men who volunteer as fire crew today. The brigade practices weekly and was scheduled to hold a practice Monday night, despite nine members having spent the entire previous night fighting the flames. The hotel was known,
among other things, for the dollar bills that papered the ceiling of the bar, and had recently become known as a haunt for bikers. The upstairs of the twostorey building was run as a boarding house until the 1950s and the pub was originally separated, one area for ladies and escorts and one for men, as was the law for half of the last century.

Police say a Kelowna man is facing criminal charges after he allegedly used his truck to push a bylaw officer out of his path Tuesday afternoon. Around 3 p.m., a bylaw officer drove past a vehicle parked on Ethel Street and noticed the tag had expired a day earlier, RCMP said at the scene. After the bylaw officer called a tow truck, a man, believed to be the owner of the truck, tried to leave with the truck and a confrontation occurred between the bylaw officer and the driver. The bylaw officer had his hands on the hood of the moving Ford Ranger before getting out of the path of the vehicle as it drove off, police said. RCMP located the truck parked on Aberdeen Street by the Kelowna Bocce Club and also caught up with the driver soon after the incident. A man in his 50s is now facing charges of dangerous driving and assault, police say.

New faces at Taste of Kelowna Judie Steeves
For the Week of March 30-April 4, 2011 (or while quantities last)
STAFF REPORTER
Okanagan
This year’s 22nd annual Taste of Kelowna on the weekend featured lots of new faces and a couple of new winners as well. Judges selected Poppadoms, a McCurdy Road East Indian restaurant, as the booth serving the tastiest food, with the friendliest staff and best ambience. They even had an Indian street vendor walking around offering tea to participants. The public, however, had different ideas, and selected Yamato Asian Restaurant, located next to the Oriental Supermarket on Highway 97, as their favourite. Ironically, both offered good tastings of East Indian dishes. Along with curries, sliders were the most popular offering at this year’s event, with everything from burger fillings to pulled pork, and stirfries were next in order of popularity. Whatever the offering, both participants and the public were encouraged to recycle and use compostable plates and cups for a green sustainable event, certified by the Green Table Network, with the help of Darrell Eason, of GreenStep in Kelowna. More than 40 exhibitors featured a wide selection of local food, beverages and activities at Sunday’s event. “The goal of this event is to not just build awareness of the tastes of Kelowna, but to raise funds for the three charities that we support, including the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club, KidsCare and the YMCA-YWCA of the Centre Okanagan,” said Dan Darragh, branch chair for the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association, Okanagan. Donation totals weren’t available by the Capital News deadline. The BCRFA represents more than 3,000 restaurant and foodservice businesses in the province. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Pavilion’s future still unknown
Attempt to replicate the ‘human spider’ falls short
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Weeks after fire charred Kelowna’s pavilion in City Park, it’s still unclear whether efforts will be made to preserve what’s left of the 1960s era structure or if planners will be given a mandate to start from scratch. “It’s too soon to answer that question,” said Lance Kayfish, the city’s risk management officer, when asked if 75 per cent of the building was scorched—a level insurers consider to be the point where a fresh start is the only option. “I have been involved in several different types of fire claims and property loss claims and I no lon-
ger estimate the amount of damage or the value of that damage.” An architect, structural engineer, environmental engineer and quantity surveyor have all conducted preliminary investigations. Their reports will be provided to the insurer and quantity surveyor to evaluate the extent of damage and financial loss. The process, said Kayfish, should take anywhere from eight to 12 weeks to complete. Meantime, efforts are dedicated to mitigating the losses. Recovery of documents and records has been completed, and a local restoration company is working to ensure the information contained with-
in is not lost forever. “Valuable paper coverage and vital records are being freeze dried and will be restored or copied onto clean paper,” he explained, noting some records are irreparably damaged. Over a dozen members of the city’s design and construction staff had been working out of the building—which also houses washrooms and a seasonal concession stand—for at least a couple of years. The staff displaced by the fire have already been relocated to City Hall and a request for proposals has been issued to deal with the loss of the concession stand. Temporary wash-
rooms have also been rolled onto the site. “Regardless what happens to the site, we are looking at a significant amount of time that will require us to operate washrooms in that location,” Kayfish said. “It is our busiest washroom location in the winter months because it is heated.” Fire crews were called to the downtown blaze just after 4:30 a.m. March 6 and arrived to find the building heavily involved with fire. By the time the flames were quelled, the building had sustained significant damage. No injuries were reported and the cause has been determined to be arson.
An attempt to perform a Spidermanlike feat has resulted in a Prince George man being hospitalized. Around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, witnesses spotted a man open the fourth floor window of a hotel room at the Delta Grand in Kelowna and climb feet first onto a ledge. “The man appeared to be trying to climb down the side of the building when he apparently lost his grip and fell to the ground,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The 27-year-old Prince George man
fell four storeys to the concrete below, and sustained numerous injuries, including a broken jaw, broken feet and leg, and a broken shoulder. Police say he was taken to hospital for treatment. A distraught woman—the man’s girlfriend—was found inside the hotel room, but police say there is no evidence to show the man was forced out of the window. Instead, police investigators believe that alcohol, and possibly drugs, were involved, said Holmes.
▼ CRIME
Police are looking for a semi-clad groper Police are looking for a partially clad man who sexually touched a woman as she was cycling to work early Sunday morning. Just before 5 a.m., the woman was riding along Highway 33 near Franklyn Road when a man she didn’t know ran up behind her and groped her, said Const. Steve Holmes. “She stopped her bike and pushed him away, at which point he ran back down Highway 33 towards Gerstmar Road,” said Holmes. “The victim was not injured but was shaken up.” The man, described as Caucasian and in his 20s to 30s, was clean shaven and naked from the waist down. He was wearing only a grey hoodie that cov-
ered his face, and stood approximately 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-5 tall. “Though this occurrence has similarities to
four other groping incidents, which go back to July 2010, police have not yet confirmed a link,” said Holmes.

A minimum step ahead
T
he decision by newly minted B.C. Premier Christy Clark to raise the provincial minimum wage to $8.75 on May 1, increasing to $10.25 in a year, will do little to improve the lot of workers at the bottom of the pay grid. In 2001, B.C.’s $8 minimum wage was the highest in Canada. It’s stayed there ever since, while other provinces have recognized the ever-increasing cost of living by raising theirs. Now it’s the lowest.
Even after the initial boost of 75 cents this May, B.C. will still have the lowest minimum wage in the country. Think of all the things that have become more expensive in the past 10 years: Rent, utilities, gas, transit, clothes, food. According to Statistics Canada, the low-income cutoff for a single individual with no dependents living in a large city in 2009 was $22,229 before taxes. That’s $11.11 an hour for a 40-hour week, 50 weeks of the
CLASSIFIEDS 250-763-7114
year. And that two year old statistic is still almost a dollar more than our minimum wage will be a year from now. Imagine trying to feed, clothe and house a family on less than $22,000 in Metro Vancouver, where the average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment is more than $1,100. The price of poverty goes beyond non-existent bank accounts and absent luxuries. Substandard housing and poor nutrition from an unbalanced diet
often lead to health problems, putting further stress on an already burdened health care system. Kids who go to school hungry or without the supplies they need to do their work often perform poorly and get left behind, making it difficult for them to pursue opportunities later in life that will free them from the cycle of poverty. Business groups say they can’t afford to pay a higher minimum wage. Reality says we can’t afford not to.

Member of the British Columbia Press Council
Here we go with that ’70s political show, all over again A
s the federal Parliament slid once again into partisan mayhem, former finance minister John Manley was on CBC television, making me wish he would bring his voice of reason back to Ottawa. Liberal and NDP supporters had been taking turns with accusations that the Conservatives’ corporate tax cuts only help the rich. “That’s stuff that we used to hear in the ’70s,” Manley said. “I thought that people had grown away from that.” He then patiently explained that the key holdings in most peoples’ retirement plans are bank, petroleum and other blue-chip stocks. His Liber-
al government’s strategy of competing for business investment in a global economy has wisely been continued under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Yet much of our political discourse at all levels of government still imagines class warfare between tycoons in silk top hats and a ragged, powerless peasantry. For B.C. voters, 2011 is shaping up as the most politically empowered year ever. The May 2 federal election now gets in line with a by-election for
Premier Christy Clark, a referendum on the harmonized sales tax, municipal elections in November and potentially, an early provincial election as well. Will all these conTom tests raise the level Fletcher of debate? So far it doesn’t look good. This fourth federal election in seven years could have had one benefit. But Clark did not see fit to abandon the harebrained scheme to rush through the HST referendum in June, and now the B.C. government risks losing the tax argument amid all the
VICTORIA VIEWS
noise. If the HST vote had been left to September, more people might come to appreciate that taxes on business investment and income are going out of style. An Angus Reid poll came out last week finding that one third of B.C. residents would now vote to keep the HST, compared to 54 per cent who would take B.C. back to the 1970s. Another contest being overshadowed is the B.C. NDP leadership, and that’s a ’70s show as well. Raising the minimum wage to $10.25 isn’t good enough. Candidate Nicholas Simons tried to raise his profile by suggesting that it should be hiked 50
per cent, to $12. Heck, why not raise it to $20? If you’re stuck in the ’70s and can’t comprehend the downside of stateimposed prosperity, why not just make poverty history? Federal NDP leader Jack Layton informed an anxious nation that he wouldn’t support the Conservative budget because it doesn’t “lift all seniors out of poverty” or “create” enough doctors so everyone can have one. Cuba has “created” plenty of doctors. Mind you, they get paid $25 a month in addition to their food ration See Fletcher A9

Major media bought up to manipulate voters To the editor: In the last federal election, voter-turnout at 58.8 per cent was the lowest in history. Only one-in-five first-time-eligible voters even bothered; a recent survey reports only fifteen-percent of Canadians even follow federal politics. The media—television, radio and newspapers—is the culprit. Deregulation has allowed our once diverse and independent media to merge into near monopolies— as BCE (Bell) buys CTV. Your government has entrusted the crucial task of keeping the public informed to the greed and
goodwill of a handful of businessmen. We’re becoming like the U.S.—“the most entertained but least informed people on the planet.” Here the media is politics. That’s why General Electric—one of the world’s largest weapons manufacturers—buys NBC. Not because they feel obliged to inform the public, but to win elections. Media owners have already demonstrated they could elect—then reelect—a moron as their president. U.S. media have so confused its audience, eighty-percent still believe the deception of the Iraq
COMMENTS FROM kelownacapnews.com To the editor: Re.: Dr. Paul Latimer’s column: Parents of Mentally Ill Children Find System Frustrating, March 27. Thank you Dr Latimer. It seems that you wrote your column just for us and it could not have been more timely. Our 15-year-old daughter has been in the mental health system here for three years now. We have found that out-
patient care is really quite good but when it comes to emergency/acute inpatient care for children and adolescents there is a serious and dangerous lack in Kelowna. Our family made the choice to send our daughter to a treatment center in the USA. It has been financially crippling for us, but she is our daughter. She has been there since October and has done well.
invasion—which killed over one-million, men, women and children. Canadians are a little better off because of our publicly owned CBC— and its mandate for truth and balance. Their great work has been hamstrung by partisan appointments and budget slashes. Senior Harper people have hinted of “getting out of the broadcast business” by outright selling the CBC. “In the public interest” is the reason the Harperappointed CRTC granted Sun TV News, aka “Fox News North,” a license. This station is owned by media giant Quebecor, who operate some 54
newspapers, 18 TV stations, film studios and more, nationwide—including the Harper propaganda tabloid disguised as a newspaper: Calgary Sun. And not surprising, the Quebecor chairman, according to Wikipedia, is former PM Brian (Airbus) Mulroney. And the “Fox News North” station-manager is Harper’s former communications director Kory Teneycke. Mainstream cameracrews were suspiciously “not there” when Harper storm-troopers attacked the democratic rights and dignities of Canadians at Toronto’s G20. This bru-
tality—reported online by independent media and civilians with camera-phones—is still being suppressed by corporate media. See for yourself, watch the Fifth Estate documentary: “You Should Have Stayed At Home,” (online at cbc.ca/ fifth/). Before the four-hundred channel universe— when folks still talked to their neighbours—voter turnout hovered around 75 per cent. We were better entertained and more informed. To get informed—cancel your TV subscription. Bryan Stawychny, Edgewater
Over the past three days however, she has become very ill there with psychotic depression. She is in crisis and she needs emergency in-patient treatment. We cannot send her to hospital in the U.S. as the insurance we bought will not cover mental health. So we have to bring her back to Canada. I have spent the last three days trying to source an appropriate place for her, without success. As you mentioned there is no one-stop shop and I have gone round and
round getting nowhere. So far the best advice has been to “show up” at an ER at a place like BC Childrens and insist that she be admitted. I think you will agree that is not a suitable solution. Even if I was to find a place then there is the issue of flying her back here. That also will be up to us. We will need to have her heavily sedated just to get on a plane with her. Then we are supposed to drive around Vancouver trying to get her admitted somewhere. This would not hap-
pen if someone had a stroke or a trauma. Mental health is not really seen as emergency health care but it can be just as life threatening. As I write this our daughter is in the US, desperately needing to be treated in Canada and I cannot source anything here. The treatment center she is at has given us three days to find a place for her and then they will be forced to put her in a suitable place in the USA, at our expense. xmanxcat
Class warfare simply doesn’t exist here Fletcher from A8 cards, so perhaps that socialist Utopia should raise its minimum wage. I watched another ’70s show last week, attending the B.C. Teachers’ Federation convention at the Victoria Conference Centre. Before Education
Minister George Abbott arrived, delegates passed a typically self-righteous resolution demanding all levels of government immediately get rid of poverty. How? Create poverty reduction plans with measurable goals. Right, kind of like those five-year plans for tractor production the
Soviet Union had back in the ’70s. Once Abbott arrived to hold out the olive branch, the BCTF’s usual demands resumed. More teachers, more support staff and raises of 10 per cent or more. Does anyone on the BCTF executive know how to synthesize infor-

Council doesn’t want to get mired in medical pot debate Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Getting embroiled in a discussion on the merits and pitfalls of growing medical marijuana doesn’t appeal to the vast majority of local politicians, so a
movement sparked in the Fraser Valley was finally snuffed out at its Kelowna stop Monday morning. “I just don’t think there’s a huge problem in Kelowna (with medical marijuana growers) and I don’t want city council
dragged into a conversation about legalization,” said Coun. Graeme James at the meeting where he and his cohorts took a second whack at dealing with a request for support to put an end to medical marijuana growing in B.C. com-

munities. Mayors of the City of Langley and the Township of Langley wrote a letter in hopes of gaining momentum in their efforts to lobby Health Canada to cancel current licenses for medical marijuana growers and, in turn, have the product dispensed through licensed pharmacies by doctor’s prescriptions. “As this is the practice for other controlled substances, such as methadone, we do not see why this cannot be done for medical marijuana,” read a letter circulated to B.C. municipalities. It also explained the grow ops were threatening the health and safe-
ty of their communities for both attracting crime and also leaving physical devastation of properties where pot is grown. While the issue isn’t as pronounced locally as it is in the Fraser Valley, where numerous politicians have started speaking out, it’s not quite a non-starter either, said Coun. Angela Reid-Nagy. But to some degree, she explained, problems ensuing from the practice can’t entirely be placed on the growers themselves as there have been complaints that Mounties are failing to be informed of the legal status of a grow op before they take action and of not enough follow through from Health Can-
ada once a licence is issued. “I’d like to make a motion to create a committee to solve the issue,” she said, pointing out that it should involve city staff, community members and the RCMP. “We, at this table, aren’t knowledgeable to support this letter.” Once input is garnered, she suggested that the city even come up with a building code of sorts to ensure that there is proper venting and electrical wiring among those who are licenced to grow. By dealing with the issue that way, she said, the city would be taking a pro-active stance and there would be less issues
to deal with after the fact. No other councillors, however, were on the same page. While some admitted gathering more information could be worthwhile they were loath to go down that path. “We’d be getting in over our head with something we don’t need to deal with,” said Coun. Charlie Hodge. Instead, council chose not to support the Langley effort and compose their own letter to Health Canada, the federal government and the RCMP asking them to deal with the health and safety issues involved with dealer established licences in municipalities. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna’s more off-kilter contributor to the arts scene is gearing up to get more of its creative endeavors out to the community, while luring more locals into the gallery. According the Chris Bose, the newest face of the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, it’s a change in tack for the gallery. In 2010, the centre focused outward, having major success with React 2010, a project that had artists give their two cents about the Olympics. That initiative gained national attention, as well as column inches within the Globe and Mail. In the year ahead, hopes are pinned on a slate of initiatives that are intended to give the Alternator better traction within the community. “We’re going into new partnerships with UBC Okanagan and the Kelowna Friendship Society, working with youth to get them into gallery,” he told city council
at a Monday meeting. “We’re also going to try some one-off events—like a concert, a reading, a book launch and a film screening—to get more, (and) different people into our gallery space, creating awareness.” The crowning glory of the year ahead, however, will be geotag art. “This is something really new we are doing at Alternator,” Bose said. “Creating a new web-based platform using smartphones with GPS systems, we will tag locations throughout the community. “People can get the information…explore the community and find the art. Some will be virtual, some will be physical and creative.” There are five artists who are working on this project, and soon they will start to plant their work throughout the community. The centre received $20,000 in city funds for operating expenses, and another $7,000 specifically for the geotag project.

Police warn spring can be dangerous for motorcyclists As weather turns warmer and motorcycle enthusiasts pull out their hogs, police are reminding drivers make sure to watch for people travelling by two wheels in the hopes of preventing injuries and deaths this year. “Spring can be one of the most dangerous times
to be a motorcyclist,� said Const. Steve Holmes. “Until all of the roadways have been swept, there is sand and gravel to deal with. The biggest safety concern for any motorcyclist, however, is being seen by motorists who haven’t been used to seeing motorcycles on the
roads for several months.� He notes it is important for drivers to think ahead and take extra time to check side mirrors, shoulder check and use signals when changing lanes or making turns. “When making left turns across oncoming lanes, make double sure
you’ve looked far down the oncoming lane for approaching vehicles before you cross it,� said Holmes. If you ride a motorcycle, he said, it cannot be stressed enough how important it is to be visible. “Yes, it’s cool to wear the stylish black leather
and ballistic nylon riding suits,� said Holmes. “What isn’t cool is testing the limits of those suits because you got knocked off your bike by a motorist who didn’t see you.� He suggests riders always wear a highly visible vest over their suit and a motorcycle helmet that
complies with the Motor Vehicle Act. “Sadly, one of the greatest contributors to head injury in a collision on a motorcycle is the size of the helmet or lack thereof,� he said. As well, Holmes urges motorcyclists to plan their departure so they aren’t in
a rush and to ride like everyone is out to get you. “In a car vs. motorcycle collision, the motorcycle always loses,� said Holmes. Using signal lights and having bright brake and headlights helps immensely, as does eye contact, he added.

‘Reasonable’ support for new OCP The people have spoken—a few times—and it seems most are onboard with Kelowna’s new Official Community Plan. A combination of public meetings and online surveys garnered a collective 628 responses, which when measured against previous community input “is reasonable,� said Gary Stephen, the city’s longrange planning manager. “The feedback indicated strong
(75 per cent) support for proposed policies and land uses,� he said. “Where there was more than 20 per cent disagreement on a proposed policy direction, staff reviewed each of the comments relating to the disagreement to identify whether changes should be considered prior to advancing the plan.� What turned out to be one bone of contention was building heights. Depending on the area of the
city, building heights have varying limitations. Respondents who didn’t like the city’s pitch, however, couldn’t reach consensus either. It turned out there was a 50/50 split among people who wanted higher limits and those who wanted a highrise-free Kelowna. The plan is still yet to be finalized, and can be read through at kelowna2030.ca.
Trial date set for Lake Country man related to woman being stabbed A trial date has been set for a man accused in connection with a stabbing in Lake Country last fall, court records show. On Sept. 19, RCMP say they were called to a Myrus Road home after a woman said her boyfriend had been stabbed, allegedly by a visiting friend. “The two men had been in the shop beside the residence when discussion led to a physi-
cal altercation and ended when the accused (allegedly) stabbed the victim in the abdomen,� said Sgt. Ann Morrison at the time. The victim suffered a small wound to his abdomen that was treated at hospital that night. The accused was arrested a short time later inside his Lake Country home and then released on a promise to appear in court last November.

NEWS â&#x2013;ź LIBRARIES
Regional library founders were true visionaries Richard Rolke CONTRIBUTOR
One of my earliest memories is waiting for the bookmobile to roll into town. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure how often the library on wheels stopped in Westbank, but my mom, my brother and I regularly stood in the Anglican Church parking lot to wait our turn to climb aboard the van and search for something to read. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go into Kelowna that often, especially not during the day
when dad was at work with the family car, so the bookmobile was an outlet to the outside world. In 1974, Okanagan Regional Library opened a branch with four walls, a roof and far more books than could ever be stuffed inside a van. I still remember being handed my very own library card (it was paper in those days) and the number printed on it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 130. That branch and its subsequent location as the community grew, became a second home for me. I would spend hours dis-

covering what was new on the shelves. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing my house was only a few
minutes away because riding a bicycle was challenging with a stack of books taller than my head. During the Summer Reading Club, a competitive streak was revealed and the goal was to leave the other kids in the dust and win a prize. Eventually, both my mom and I learned how to drive, and that provided access to treasures in the much larger Kelowna branch. Fresh out of journalism school, I moved to Vernon in April 1990 and after finding a place to

rent in the BX and setting up a bank account, the next stop likely was the library. One of my greatest joys as a father is when my daughters ask me to take them to the library. It brings back all of the good feelings I had as a kid, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a common bond that we share. My youngest and I spent night after night with Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon, even now, for my oldest and I to giggle over the antics ofAsterix the Gaul. But not all of the magic is found between two covers. Many summers for my girls were filled with activities at the library. Bead jewelry proved challenging for tiny fingers, but librarian Monica encouraged them to try. There were drawings and stories, and who can forget the puppet shows
put on by librarian Judy. My interest in libraries evolved into an obsession when I learned about Carol Williams touring all of ORLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 29 branches as board chairperson. It was such an intriguing idea that I decided to hit the road. Over the years, family get-aways have been shaped around my quest. A romantic weekend had my wife and I in the Oliver branch, while a spring break excursion with the kids found us in Oliver and Kaleden, where the big hit was the librarianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog. Camping in the Shuswap was interrupted by book hunts in Sorrento and Scotch Creek, and coming back the long way through Sicamous. One day, my oldest and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything pressing to do, so we hopped in the truck and headed out to Cherryville. A week off found
me in Falkland and Silver Creek. Of the 29, there are only four left â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Golden, Keremeos, Hedley and Princeton. They are at the farflung reaches of the ORL territory but I am already looking at ways to get there. They may not have considered their actions significant, but ORLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founders in 1936 were true visionaries. The Depression in the 1930s had made dollars tight and even the largest Okanagan cities were small and rural, but these politicians understood the desire of residents to embrace words and ideas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a legacy that has inspired countless generations and for that, we should be eternally grateful. Richard Rolke is senior reporter with the Capital News sister community newspaper, the Morning Star in Vernon.

Enhance watershed protection Protect from A1 front cottages on reservoir lakes. B.C. is behind the times when it comes to protecting domestic watersheds. In many other parts of the world, including China and Chile, they are purchasing back watershed land in order to protect drinking water quality, she said. Larratt has 30 years experience as an aquatic biologist, consulting throughout the Okanagan and across the country, working for both government and corporations. She told the water utility administrators that water is what makes a lake a lake. “Of the total, 25 per cent is the mud lining the bottom, 25 per cent is the shape of the bowl, and 50 per cent is the incoming water quality,” she said. The water quality changes during its stor-
age in the lake, as algae increase, sediments and cysts go down and usually nutrients also go down, while pH goes up, she explained. “When you say ‘lakes,’ everyone envisions different things,” she said. And, many people just don’t recognize that their little activities can make a big difference to the quality of water in the lakes they use for one purpose or another. Urban areas are under threat, and intake protection zones would help to protect drinking water, she said. That would be a scientific way to define a small zone that is the most vulnerable, but a manageable area, in size, without having to deal with the entire lake. She has been conducting experiments to determine exactly what is ‘the’ most critical zone in the area of an intake, con-
sidering such variables as water currents, weather, wind patterns and depth. Keeping within a twohour travel time for a contaminant, a 300-400 metre zone would help to protect an intake, she determined. That would be a zone within which no new stormwater outfalls would be permitted, for instance. However, she says she hasn’t yet been able to find a political vehicle for protecting the water within that protection zone, and is now looking for ways to implement the zoning. “It’s all about protecting drinking water at its source,” she commented. Particularly in multiuse watersheds such as in the Okanagan, it’s most critical to protect spots near intakes, as well as in the watersheds, with a protection zone around the margins of reservoir lakes and creeks which carry drinking water from
the reservoir to the treatment plant and the users, she explained. That would be a no build, no disturb, no machine protection zone, which she proposes should be 85 metres from the high water mark. If the zone is vegetated, that zone could provide protection from 90 per cent of contaminants, she figures. As well, she believes that new activities wanting to move into a watershed should have to prove they won’t impact water quality, instead of the opposite being proven after the fact. True cost accounting should be applied before new activities in domestic watersheds are approved, she advised. The alternative of increasing treatment downstream is considerably more expensive than what she’s suggesting, she pointed out. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
Stolen boat, pickup found in Beaverdell More than $100,000 in vehicles that were stolen as far back as seven months ago, have been recovered by police. RCMP said last week that members of the property crimes unit executed a search warrant on a Beaverdell property on March 18 and found a 28-foot Sea Ray boat, sto-
len from Kelowna in September 2010, and a 2008 Dodge Ram that had been taken from the property of a Kelowna resident back in August. As well, police also found a 35-foot triple axle flat deck trailer, that is believed to have been stolen from Saskatchewan. “The cumulative value (of the recovered items) is
in excess of $100,000,” said Const. Steve Holmes. A man, who police say is associated with the property that was searched, has been investigated and police will forward a report to Crown counsel recommending charges of theft over $5,000 against the man.

aving a financial plan in your life is the key to financial success in investing, saving and management of debt. Many people do not feel in control of their own financial destiny. Fiscal responsibility leads to financial security. Sticking to a financial plan is similar to sticking to a diet. Not much fun some days. This may seem like a lot of work, with little immediate reward on a day by day basis. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to worry about money all the time. When people overspend, frustration can become a reality. A cycle of overspending and remorse can cause excessive stress that affects day to day health. You have to set realistic goals and take it one day at a time. A financial plan involves many components. Goals must be set and realistically followed. A financial plan works if recommendations form part of an action plan. Review your prog-

money goes. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write it down, you will not remember a week from now where your hard earned money went. Excessive shopping or eating out too much can derail a well-planned financial plan. Buying a coffee twice a day or lunch out three times a week can add up to thousands of dollars each year. Need and want are two very different emotions when shopping. Need can be associated with a purchase of food that is required to feed our family, while want can be associated with buying a new outfit that we do not really need. Avoid impulse shopping. If you see something you want, walk out of the store, go home and think about it. This is called a cooling off period. This will allow you some time to ask yourself if the purchase is a need or a want. Check the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return policy before you make your purchase. Make sure you deal with a store with a refund policy. If you have buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remorse, you can return the item and get your money refunded. Determine how much net income you have available to spend weekly or monthly. You need to break down your expenses under the category of needs and wants. Costs to maintain your home, example mortgage payments or rent, and utility costs should be priorities before take out food. If frustration over finances is part of your life on a regular basis, take control. You are responsible for your financial security.

SPORTS ▼ NHL ENTRY DRAFT
Good playoff can boost draft pick value Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Unlike the early days of his major junior career, Shane McColgan is no longer on the radar as a potential first-round pick in the 2011 National Hockey League entry draft. In the eyes of many NHL scouts, the 5-foot-8 1/2 170 pound forward’s stock has slipped gradually and steadily over the last two years. The latest Central Scouting rankings in January had McColgan rated 102nd among all skaters. Still, with a prosperous Western Hockey League playoff run for both the speedy forward and his Kelowna Rockets, McColgan could easily restore some of that depreciating value this spring. The California native was one of his club’s best players through the first two games of the WHL playoffs with five points, all of them assists—a good sign at a time of year when the NHL’s birddogs are out in full force. “The playoffs can be very relevant when it comes to the draft,” said Rockets assistant GM Lorne Frey. “The playoffs are a situation where I think a lot of scouts truly make their evaluations. There’s a mindset that the longer a team goes, the more valuable each player on those teams become and the more their stock rises. If Shane has a tremendous playoff and we
do well as a team, then I said Frey. “He has all the wouldn’t be surprised at talent and ability the top all to see his stock go up players have.

He’s going to get well for the team, not for drafted, it’s just a matter of when. In the end, you still myself. “I know I’ve dropped have to prove yourself, no a little over the last while matter who you are.” Draft rankings aside, here, and it is in the back of my mind…but if I McColgan has put togethwork hard, be a leader for er two productive seasons us and play well, every- with the Rockets. In 2009-10, his 25 thing should take care of goals and 44 assists earned itself.” According to Lorne him the Western ConferFrey, the overriding factor ence rookie of the year in McColgan’s dropping honours. This season, despite stock over the last year is his size—or rather a lack being sidelined early on due to surgery to remove of it. Still, Frey said it his tonsils, he led the doesn’t mean the gifted Rockets in scoring with centre can’t go on to have 21 goals and 66 points. But more satisfying a productive pro career. Besides, time is still on for McColgan than his offensive stats is what he McColgan’s side. “I’ve told Shane the managed to contribute at only reason he’s dropped the other end of the ice. “I like the defensive down some is his size,”

part of my game quite a bit better this year,” he said. “I have the coaches to thank for that. I went from a minus-15 to a plus3 this year, so I take pride in that. “As long as I’m getting better, that’s what matters,” he added. “The draft stuff doesn’t bother me too much. I’ll work my hardest, maybe my stock will go up. It’s not the end of the world if I don’t get drafted in the first round.” At least a pair of other Rockets are hoping for an extended playoff run to potentially boost their draft stock. Fowards Zach Franko (105th) and Jessey Astles (192nd) were both listed in Central Scouting’s last report.
ROCKET SHOTS…
The Rockets and Prince George battle Wednesday night in Game 4 of their WHL first-round playoff series…Rockets captain Tyson Barrie signed a three-year entrylevel deal with the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche on Friday. The Victoria native was drafted by the Avs in the third round (64th overall) of the 2009 NHL entrey draft. “Tyson has had an accomplished junior career,” said Avalanche General Manager / Executive Vice President Greg Sherman. “We are adding another young defenseman to the organization and we look forward to him beginning his pro career.” whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Heat’s Kennedy bound for Swedish semi-pro ranks Building off an impressive 2010 campaign with the UBC Okanagan Heat, Alexa Kennedy will hone her soccer talents across the Atlantic this coming season. The Kelowna native will head for Sweden next month to play semi-pro ball with Kvarnsvedens IK, a Division 1 team. Kennedy was the BCCAA and CCAA national player of the year in 2010, leading the Heat to an undefeated regular season and a bronze medal at the provincial championship. The talented striker led the BCCAA in scoring with 13 goals in 12 games, including seven game-winners. “Alexa works very hard in training to make herself and those around her better,” said UBCO soccer coach Claire Paterson. “Her teammates look up to her and she leads by example. She has definitely been a key part of our program’s growth over the past two seasons.” Kennedy’s scoring prowess and her status as one of the country’s top collegiate players caught the eye of Olle Davidsson, the club manager for Kvarnsvedens.
nedy and the Heat, she won’t be back in Kelowna in time to register for the fall semester and, as a result, will not be eligilbe to play for UBCO in 2011.
“I have enjoyed my experience with the Heat and I don’t rule out returning to the soccer program in the future,” Kennedy said.
“But this is a chance of a lifetime I can’t turn down even though it means sacrificing a chance to win a provincial and national championship with the
Heat in 2011.” Alexa will return to UBCO to continue her pursuit of a degree in education for the winter semester in 2012.

Ransom on nationals podium four times Julia Ransom concluded her 2010-11 season in style by winning four medals at the Canadian Biathlon Championships in Charlo, New Brunswick. Ransom was first in the 7.5 km pursuit, and second in both the six km sprint and 10 km individual event.
The West Kelowna athlete and member of the Telemark club then added a bronze medal Sunday on the final day of competition in the relay with Team B.C. It was a satisfying conclusion to the season for Ranson who was somewhat disappointed with her performances at both
the Canada Winter Games and at the world championships in the Czech Republic. “I’m really happy with the way it all ended,” said Ransom, 18. “We had a bit of a rough time with the wind the last couple of days, but managed to get through it. “I’m still looking to
improve on my international results,” she added, “but this is a good way to finish. Now it’s time for a month of yoga, do some snowboarding, and just relax.” Other results for Telemark skiers: • Jasper Mackenzie (youth men)—sixth in 12.5km Individual, sev-
enth in 7.5 km Sprint, and ninth in 10km pursuit. • Carson Mackenzie (senior boy)—12th in 7.5km Individual, ninth in 6 km sprint, and bronze in 7.5 km Pursuit. • Devon Greenhalgh (senior boys)—14th in 7.5 km Individual, 24th in six km sprint, and 25th 7.5km pursuit.
Solid team showing for Telemark skiers After a somewhat disappointing set of results by local athletes at the Western Canadian Championships held in West Kelowna at their home hill of Telemark Cross Country Ski Club last month, seven members of the race team headed to Canmore to compete with the B.C. provincial team at the 84th Canadian Nordic Championships March 11 to 19. Emily Ertel, Julia Ransom, Alexandra MyshakDavis, Desirea Martin, Jeffrey Kerkovius, David Palmer and Kurt Behnsen all took to the track for the Telemark team. Head coach Adam Elrliot could not be there with the team as his wife was expecting, but the local club still turned in some inspired performances. Races got under way on the Friday with the team sprints, followed by Sundays Individual Distance Free Technique, but it was Tuesday when things got interesting. Emily Ertel received
the news that her parents would not be coming out to Canmore to watch her race as her father had a minor heart attack. And if to say this one is for you dad proved she was a National Champion taking first place and the gold medal in the Junior Girls 10km Classic Race, a full 25 seconds ahead of the next racer in a field of 55 skiers. Alexandra MyshakDavis placed eighth in the extremely competitive Juvenile Girls 5km classic race with a field of 80 racers with the top girls placing some of the fastest lap times for the days events. David Palmer also finished eighth in his respective category.

ENJOYING CHOPPED & BROKEN SNOW
cing was no disappointment, Julia Ransom nursing a sore pulled leg muscle after the previous days was considering not racing, but with a green light from the physio pulled out another gold medal in the Junior Girls 7.5km Free Mass start for Team B.C. and Telemark. David Palmer picked up a third place bronze only split seconds behind fellow B.C. team mate Colin Ferrie from Kimberly. Jeffrey Kerkovius had his first top ten finish placing eighth in the grueling Junior Male 30km distance showing why he has been on the B.C. ski team for the past few years. With only seven skiers Telemark finished with overall aggregate points to place them 16th out of 68 teams at nationals. It’s an achievement Telemark skiers credit to the coaching of Adam Elliot whose wife gave birth to little Owen Scott Elliot, born on March 18.
After the hoards of first track seekers are kicking back with an ear to ear grin, proud of their early morning conquest while they take an early lunch the rest of us that maybe slept in or chose to enjoy a late breakfast are left with the shredded remnants of what was once a pristine blanket of Okanagan Champagne Powder. Don’t despair, the chopped snow or crud as it’s sometimes called can be really fun too if you approach the right way.

Here are a couple little tricks that can help you manage this snow condition a lot better. Like all good skiing your stance is important for balance. A lot of people move back in their stance when they encounter this situation but unfortunately this just makes it more difficult to turn. Instead of moving back try this; press your heels down in your boots and feel your shins up against the tongue of your boots throughout the turn. This will help centre your stance and activate your ankles. Active ankles will help you adjust and be adaptable to the changing conditions. The next thing to do is to try and tighten your stance up a bit width-wise. To do that, try and squeeze your knees together. A narrow stance helps create a stronger platform to stand on and it protects against your skis getting pulled off in different directions, causing you to spin around.

NEWS â&#x2013;ź ILL DOG
Media and public help SPCA solve animal cruelty case The Kelowna SPCA in Kelowna is expressing gratitude today to the media and members of the public who helped identify the owner of a critically ill dog dumped at the SPCA shelter on March 14. Shelter security cameras showed the muzzled dog being pulled from a
dark-coloured truck at approximately 4:30 a.m., dragged across the parking lot and tied to the front door of the shelter. The beige and white mixed-breed dog, named Sable by shelter staff, was suffering from a severe neurological condition that prevented her from standing or walking.
Despite being rushed to a veterinarian as soon as she was discovered by SPCA staff, the dog had to be humanely euthanized because of critical distress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so grateful to the media for raising awareness about this story and to the people who provided us with informa-
tion to solve the case,â&#x20AC;? said Sabrina Fedorak, manager of the Kelowna SPCA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our SPCA constable acted on a tip and did some incredible detective work to determine the owner of the dog.â&#x20AC;? Charges of animal cruelty are now pending in the case. Fedorak says it was
heartbreaking to think of how much the frightened dog must have suffered after being abandoned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is clear from viewing the video footage that her condition deteriorated dramatically from the time she was abandoned to when we found her,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wish we could
have saved her life but it just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possible given her level of suffering and distress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least we have the comfort of knowing that we can now seek justice on her behalf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are truly grateful to everyone who helped us ensure that her owner will be held accountable
for his actions.â&#x20AC;? The SPCA conducts more than 7,000 cruelty investigations a year and is reliant on donations from the public to continue its work. To find out how you can help, please visit the SPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www. spca.bc.ca/support.
â&#x2013;ź RIDING FOR A CAUSE
British immigrant wants to know why we love our community What do you love about Kelowna? Tana Silverland will be asking residents this question on March 31 when her epic 2 1/2 year journey across Canada brings her through the Okanagan. As a recent immigrant to Canada from the United Kingdom, Silverland is pedalling her recumbent trike from town
to town across the length and breadth of the country, asking people what they love about the place that they call home. She is also hoping to make it possible for orphans around the world to answer the same question, by spreading the word about SOS Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Villages, an international charity that provides new homes and families for children who
have nobody else to care for them. Having been virtually bedridden with a serious illness for nearly 10 years, Silverman knows only too well what a difference a loving family makes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many organizations abandon the children in their care once they reach the age of majority, but just like my own par-
ents, SOS Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Villages continues to look after its children until they are fully ready to live independently, even if illness or other factors mean that this point does not neatly coincide with their 19th birthday,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SOS Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Villages also provides health care facilities for the whole community if none currently exist.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;So what better way to celebrate my return to health than to make a cycling journey that could help others enjoy good health too?â&#x20AC;? Silvermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey began in Whitehorse last June. After pedalling more than 2,500 km, she will be arriving in Kelowna on Thursday. Silverman wants to know why local residents love Kel-

NEWS ▼ FAT CAT FESTIVAL
Mascot makes a stop Down Under Dorothee Birker CONTRIBUTOR
Just as spring has sprung in the Okanagan, Fat Cat is heading into the fall season for “the Land Down Under”—Australia. Fat Cat has already been learning all the local lingo and sends a hearty ‘G’Day Mate’ to all his fans following him and PT the Clown on their “Where in the World is Fat Cat?” tour. Follow their online journey at www.facebook.ca/fatcatfestival and you can enter to win two tickets anywhere WestJet flies. For this section of his travel adventures, Fat Cat brings news from Australia, a country (and continent) he has been wanting to discover ever since the 2000 Olympics. Known for its beaches (there are over 10,000 of them, more than any other country) and famous for its surf culture, Australia has given the world many iconic landmarks and unique images and brands, including the
r
famous, and infamous, UGG boots, Crocodile Dundee and shrimps on the barbie. But contemporary Australia is also a land of innovation. Did you know that the cochlear implant and Google Maps were invented by Australians? For his travel adventures, Fat Cat’s first stop is to explore the Sydney Opera House, the iconic image of Sydney. This stunning building was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2007, which is truly amazing since the building was only officially opened in 1973. A young Dane architect, Jorn Utzon, won an international competition to design the facility in 1957. The intricate design was an engineering feat and the famous shells of the opera house took eight years to complete, plus an additional three years to finish the special ceramic tiles that form the shells. Recognized as a world-class performing arts centre, the Sydney
Opera House glistens in the sunlight and is stunningly aglow at night. A definite must-see for visitors to Australia, but if you want a glimpse of this amazing place, check out the YouTube Symphony Grand Finale 2011. It features 110 artists from throughout the world and a multi-media sensation with a real-time projections on the walls of the concert hall and the exterior of the sails. Check out the concert here: www.youtube.com/ symphony. Equally as famous an Australian landmark is Uluru, the massive sandstone monolith formerly known as Ayers Rock. Standing 986 feet-high and over eight kilometres
around, the rock is a natural wonder of the world, returned to the Aboriginal people of the area in 1985. It remains an important part of the Aboriginal creation mythology. Uluru is in Australia’s Northern Territory where the indigenous people have been using the famous didgeridoo for at least 1,500 years. Australia’s uniqueness extends to its wildlife with the emblematic kangaroo, the koala (which is not really a bear), the Tasmanian devil (the world’s largest marsupial), the bizarre platypus (with its beaver tail, duck bill and the males are actually venomous) and the flightless emu. Fat Cat is definite-
ly enjoying his exploration of Australia—be sure to join him and PT the Clown as they discover more about this unique place. *** The Interior Savings Fat Cat Children’s Festival is an annual event that offers performances, arts, workshops and activities for kids of all ages. The Capital News is a proud founding sponsor, actively part of the festival for the past 21 years. Festival organizers invite everyone to mark the end of Fat Cat’s Global Journey when the festival takes place Waterfront Park, June 10 and 11. And if you can’t make it to the Sydney Opera House right away, you will be able to enjoy opera at the festival courtesy of the Roaming Diva, a giant, stilt-walking, operasinging performer coming all the way from Montreal to bring her unique performance to Kelowna for the Fat Cat Festival.

Bringing common sense to Kelowna Rivers, hydro bills, oil tankers, democracy— these are the subjects of a rousing tour of B.C. this year led by Rafe Mair and Damien Gillis. Gillis and Mair are founders of a new online journal called The Common Sense Canadian, created to provide a voice for the public and the environment. As part of a speaking tour that reaches some 30 communities around the province, Mair and Gillis will appear in Kelowna on Sunday, April 3, 3 p.m., at First United Church in downtown Kelowna. The event is co-sponsored by the Kelowna chapter of the Council of Canadians and Citizens for Public Power.
The townhall meeting will feature Gillis’ new short documentary on the proposed Enbridge pipeline to B.C.’s North Coast, called Oil In Eden, and a keynote speech by Mair, a former provincial government cabinet minister under former premier Bill Bennett’s Social Credit government and a now retired long-time Vancouver radio talk show host. The two will also take questions from the audience. The tour is designed to inform and empower British Columbians. “These aren’t matters of left and right, but of right and wrong,” Mair said. “It’s time for Common Sense Canadians to band
together—through our own media and community organizing—to address our greatest challenges: Protecting our environ-
ment and democracy. “We can be the generation that lost B.C., or together we can be the one that saved it.”

ADVERTORIAL
You can either be a victim of the Recession or you can become RICH because of it. It’s up to you. Find out what the Government and the Big Banks don’t want you to know & what your accountant and your financial planner are not able to tell you...
“Alberta Man Goes From Dead-End $30K Year Job to Multi-Millionaire by Age 35 Using Proven Rich Dad, Poor Dad Strategies. Now Teaches Thousands of Canadians How to Get Rich in Canada (in the New Canadian Economy) at this Amazing FREE Event.”
Robert Kiyosaki with Darren Weeks Dear Financially Frustrated Friend: Are you tired of working your butt off and never getting ahead? Sick of sinking further into debt without any end in sight? Are you fed up with getting taxed to death while watching your tax dollars wasted? Do you see others getting wealthy through Real Estate, Business or Investing, and wonder how they do it? Had enough of those “latenite TV” Americans ramming their “Get Rich in Real Estate/Tax Leins/Stocks/ Internet” JUNK down our throats (you know, all those tactics that “don’t quite work” here in Canada?). As the stock markets crash and the Big Banks get bailed out, do you wonder why you never seem to get ahead by “doing what you’re told” and investing in stocks, mutual funds, RRSP’s and GIC’s? If you answered “yes” to any of the above, then you will definitely want to do whatever it takes to be at my upcoming “How to Get Rich in Canada” event. But Why Should You Listen to Me? Good question – you should only take advice from people who are successful, and hopefully more so than you are. (In fact, after you ask them about their “net worth”, you might want to “fire” your financial planner and/or banker) My name is Darren Weeks, and I am proud to say that many of my students across the country call me the “Canadian Rich Dad”. Why? Because the monthly Passive Income (i.e. money I don’t have to work for) from my many businesses, real estate holdings and investing ventures is more than what most Canadians work hard for all year long. I’ve made money during good economies and I’ve also made money during bad economies. (In fact, huge fortunes have been made during the worst of economic times). Now don’t get me wrong... I don’t say this to brag. I am telling you this because I want you to know that I don’t just talk a good talk – I actually do what I will teach you to do. But I Haven’t Always Been So Successful... I am the first to admit it – I was a very poor student in high school and University (in fact it took me an extra year just to get through). And when I finally did graduate, my first job right out of the door was with the Alberta Government! I putzed around at a dead-end $30K a year job for far too long before I couldn’t stand it any more and I quit to start my own company. During the 90’s I built up a considerable Real Estate portfolio, and I kept going with different businesses and investment opportunities as well. In fact, by the time I read Robert Kiyosaki’s all time best selling book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, I was already doing very well financially. I was so impressed with Kiyosaki’s message, in 2001 I became a “Rich Dad Facilitator” to help spread the Rich Dad message to Canadians. And now, after all of these years, I am very pleased to have been able to show hundreds of thousands of Canadians across the country how to take control of their own finances, and to live life on their own terms. I have spurred dozens and dozens of people to become multi-millionaires in 5 years or less. Now I do not take credit for their success – they took the action and actually did something – and I am just happy that I was able to inspire them in some way. “...(Darren’s) passion for helping others had been a great inspiration to me and I now truly understand about giving first with no exception in return. Darren and his advisors/speakers have helped us in many othre ways as well, too many to list.” Ken Beaton - Ottawa, On
Darren Weeks, Canadian “Multi-Millionaire” (from Edmonton), is revealing the proven success strategies he learned personally from Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and has perfected for our unique Canadian situation. Darren is offering an absolutely FREE event in Kelowna Monday, April 4 & Westbank, Tuesday, April 5 to show how you too can become financially independent and be able to do whatever you want...in 5 years or less (No matter what is happening in the economy). He’s also giving away an Amazing FREE gift to every attendee who brings a guest. His NEW audio CD “The 7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” – a $39.95 value – Free of charge just for bringing a friend (your guest gets one too)!
Why Should You Come to My FREE “How to Get Rich in Canada” Event? This is an event you will want to attend in order to learn... How to Make BIG money in Canada’s emerging New economy. Why the wealth strategies of our parent’s generation don’t work anymore, and what really works now. The difference between the advice given to the Rich and the Middle Class. The fastest and most popular way to create millions of $$$. If “No-Money-Down” real estate in Canada is fact or fiction(the answer may surprise you). Why personal associations are critical to your financial freedom. How to “Recession-Proof” Yourself and your family. How the CASHFLOW quadrants explain the conspiracy to keep Canadians poor.
within 5 years or sooner of attending this life changing FREE event.
...and so much more.
My goal with putting on these events is to start a relationship with you and get to know you a bit. Robert Kiyosaki taught me “Give first, and then you will get back.” It has worked very well for me.
In fact, many people come to my events time and time again because each one is always different, they want to have the messages re-inforced, and they like being around other positive, action-oriented people. The Government and the Big BANKS are Conspiring to Keep YOU Poor. Big Brother and the Big Banks want to keep you under their thumbs. But with the knowledge that I am going to share with you (and that your accountant/ financial planner will not, or are not able to tell you) you will learn what you need to do to become truly financially free. It is my mission to expose how the Big Banks and Financial companies always make money off average Canadians with their “Management Expense Ratios” and fees – even when their investors are losing their shirts by following their lousy advice. The game is stacked against the average investor – and is completely in their favor…unless you learn the strategies of the rich and “become the bank”. I’ll show you how at this FREE event.
This is very possible. Thousands of people who have attended this very same event are well on their way to financial freedom. They not only learned the secrets of the Rich, they realized that taking ACTION will ensure their personal financial freedom – just like it will for you. And Why is This Event FREE? By now you are probably a little skeptical. Perhaps you’ve been to other “free” events that promised you the world, gave you a little bit of information, and then did the old “bait-and –switch” on you. They probably tried to get you to buy some kind of super expensive Real Estate course (or other training). We do NOT do that at my events. We have some books and cashflow games available if you want them, and there is no pressure to purchase anything. Now putting on FREE events is very expensive, so to help defray the costs I have a very few, select sponsors. You get a fantastic education, I get to meet you and spread the Rich Dad message, and the sponsors get a few minutes to show you what they do. The best thing is... we all win!
So leave your cheque book at home, bring a friend and just come out to the event with an open mind. Fair enough? How About if I Give You Even MORE? If I’m going to give away the farm, I might as well go
even one step further...so, just for bringing a guest to this Free event, I want to give you another FREE gift... My “7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” Audio CD (a $39.95 value). On this CD I show you exactly what I would do to become Financially Free in less than 5 years, starting from a homeless shelter with my family, in a new city, with no money, no friends, no job and being $35K in credit card debt! My events fill up fast. This one is only a few days away, so take a moment now to pre-register while it is on your mind. See you at the top! Darren Weeks.

What Does Being Financially FREE Mean? It means you never have to: Work for somebody else. Limit your holidays to just 2 weeks a year. Order the cheapest items on the menu at a nice restaurant. Argue with your spouse about money. Get taken advantage of with stupid financial advice from broke “professional advisors”. Worry that you won’t have enough money at the end of the month.

SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT…As Spring Break enters its second week, the Big
White Ski Resort has been a focal point of activities for skiers. The retail chain store West 49 brought six contestants up to the ski hill who were chosen from an online contest. Billabong set them up with gear head to toe, and the grand prize was a 2011 Mitsubishi RVR. The contestants had to hang out at Big White last weekend waiting until Sunday for the chance to win the vehicle. The Mitsubishi waited in the center of the village Sunday while the contestants each chose a watch case. One of the six cases had the key for the vehicle, making them the grand prize contest winner, while the rest had Life Saver candies. The third contestant to open their case, Jennifer shown above, found out she held the key to her new vehicle. Cam Thomson, West 49 Promotions and special events manager, said, “12,000 people entered online to have a chance to be here and six were chosen to come to Big White, and Jenny won the car.”
▼ HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Partnership with Okanagan College Habitat for Humanity Kelowna’s next build project will be in partnership with Okanagan College. Students from Okanagan College’s residential framing program will spend four months, beginning in April, building a duplex in West Kelowna. The duplex will then be sold to two low-income working families with children as part of Habitat for Humanity’s partner family program. The families will also help to build the houses. “We are very excited to be partnering with the college,” said Brian Wrightson, board member and chair of HFH Kelowna’s building committee. “This is a real win-win situation—the students will have hands-on experience building a house from foundation to lockup, and we’ll help two more families who might not otherwise own their home. “Through our Home for Learning projects, Okanagan College and our partners have provided hundreds of students the chance to contribute to the development of a host of communities in the Okanagan, Shuswap-Revelstoke and South Okana-
gan-Similkameen,” explained John Haller, Okanagan College’s Dean of Trades and Apprenticeship. “Blending teaching, learning, and community partnerships is a great way of living up to our mission
of transforming lives and communities.” Founded in 1992, Habitat for Humanity Kelowna is a non-profit organization with a mission to mobilize volunteers and community partners in building affordable hous-
ing and promoting homeownership as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty. The volunteer organization has provided 22 families with safe, decent and affordable housing in the Central Okanagan.

UBCO student a high achiever Tanveer Gill, a first year nursing student at UBC Okanagan, is one of 36 British Columbians named as recipients of the eighth annual BC Community Achievement Awards. “Each of these people has a remarkable record of enhancing the quality of
life of residents throughout the province,” said Premier Christy Clark. “And each truly deserves to be singled out and recognized by all British Columbians for their contributions.” Gill, a Kelowna resident, is committed to community activism and
social justice. From founding diversity clubs, to coaching, to mentoring students, to supporting worldwide initiatives addressing hunger and poverty, the premier said the UBCO student is a positive role model for young people in British Columbia.

Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”

Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”. Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures.

Lionel Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition.

They were able to locate a collector for that speciÀc toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

Local Italian club celebrates a special anniversary STRAIGHT FROM DEHART
Maxine DeHart My column today is dedicated to Charlie Elviss who passed away last week. He was a member of the Mission Rotary Club, entertaining them with his humour and quick wit. Condolences to his family and friends.
T
he Canadian Italian Club is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. Founders of the club were Pietro Calissi (the only living founder), Pietro Turri and Mario Puppato, with 21 members forming the constitution in 1966. Santo Giordano was the first president and Josephine Vecchio, the First Lady of the Lake. In 1996, the club purchased a building at 770 Lawrence Ave. for club meetings and events. The current membership is 140, with Mario Manderioli, at age 99, the oldest living member. A celebration of the anniversary is being planned for Nov.19, with a dinner hosted by two chefs from Italy and dance music provided by a popular Toronto band. For tickets call Joe Iafrancesco at 250-8606325. Coinciding with his sixth anniversary at the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, chief executive officer Weldon LeBlanc will leave his job June 30 to explore other career opportunities. He plans to stay in Kelowna. Chamber president Karen Hawes said the search for a new CEO is now underway. Sommelier Brent Belanger is the new director of hospitality at Summerhill Pyramid Winery, overseeing all aspects of the wine shop, bistro and catering departments. Brenda Johnson, moves over to be-
come the brand manager, giving her a greater role within the company and in representing the winery publicly. The wine shop facility has been upgraded with the addition of a private tasting room. A new bar has been added in the Sunset Bistro with chef Jesse Croy offering organic wine country cuisine. The interior of the winery has also been given a facelift to prepare for the winery’s upcoming 20th anniversary. Eric von Krosigk is the winemaker and Stephen Cipes the proprietor of Summerhill. Call 250764-8000. Gail Harrison, president of Cops for Kids, is the recipient of the Spirit of Kelowna Award for her dedicated and tireless commitment to the program and the recent successful RCMP Regimental Ball. Next time you are in Oyama, take a detour and stop in at Oyama Sunblush, 14439 Oyama Rd., owned by Kate Warkentin. I had the opportunity to try some of their preserve products and they were unbelievably delicious. Try either the Sangria Conserve (strawberries, red grapes, white wine, oranges and blanched almonds); Savory Roasted Red Pepper in White Wine (roasted red peppers, white wine, white vinegar, cider vinegar, onions, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, spices); the Golden Wine Chutney (white wine, green grapes, apples, sweet peppers, onions, oranges, raisins, lemons, hot peppers, ginger, spices); or the Mulled Pears. Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Call 250-548-3267; www.oyamasunblush. com. Sparkling Hills Resort has been awarded the Senses Wellness Award for Best Spa Resort at the Tourism Fair in Berlin. Sparkling Hills was the only North American Resort to win in one of the seven judged categories involving some 600 re-

VIVA ITALIA…The oldest living member of the local Canadian Italian Club, 99-year-old Mario Manderi-
oli (seated), was on hand to cut the birthday cake celebrating the 45th anniversary of the club at the membership’s monthly pasta night held March 22. In the photo with Manderioli are (from left) club secretary Felicia Mauro, vice-president Joe Iafrancesco, president Emilio Nanci and treasurer Terri Calligaro. The current membership of the club, founded in 1976, is 140. A larger celebration is planned for November to mark the club’s anniversary, with a dinner and dance, two chefs from Italy preparing the cuisine and a band from Toronto providing the dance music. sorts. Hans-Peter Mayr is the CEO of the resort. Holiday Park Resort in Lake Country was one of only nine Canadian properties to make the list of the Top 100 Spots to go with your recreational vehicle on the continent. Compiled by the Good Sam Club, a U.S.based RV owners group, the list was based on location, amenities, cleanliness, safety and comfort. Dan Sigal is the proprietor of the Lake Country resort. Clements Turf Farm, 3330 Old Vernon Rd., has changed its name to Eco Turf Farms, to reflect the introduction of their new Eco Smart Blend sod, a drought tolerant turf, environmentally friendly, specially selected blend of grasses specifically suited to the Okanagan Valley. Owned and operated by Rene and Irene Dureault and their daughter Sue and her husband Barry Paull, they also offer 100 per cent Kentucky Blue Grass and Eco Blue Blend, which is a rich
green grass, lush, cool with good drought tolerance, disease resistant, hardy and self healing. Call 250-765-9429;www. ecoturffarms.com. The Okanagan Military Society has a new 2011 board of directors. Congrats to Bob Hadgraft (president); Tom Wolf (vice-president); Gordon Adey (treasurer) and directors Howard Hisdal, Wayne House, Chuck Knight, Robert Moore, David Pich, Syd Pratt, Paul Seguna, David Snyder and Frank Truman. The two “Andrews” have started A&A Pools and Hot Tubs. Formerly with Interior Pool and Spa and after years of building, repairing and servicing swimming pools and hot tubs, Andrew Ford and Andrew Stevenson have decided to “go it alone,” specializing in the construction of high quality, yet affordable steel wall/vinyl liner residential swimming pools. They also offer a pool opening service special with
two visits at an extremely reasonable price, being a one-stop pool shop. Call 250-859-6395; www.aapoolskelowna.com. One great chef—two great awards. Chef Willi Franz, with the Grapevine Restaurant at Gray Monk Winery, has received the 2010 Chef of the Year Award from the Okanagan Chefs Association. He was also named Chef of the Year by the western region of the Canadian Culinary Federation of Chefs and Cooks. The Grapevine Restaurant re-opens for the season on April 1. Call 250766-3168. Sol and Robin Menard have started A Path of Heart Counseling Services, a business specializing in marriage or couples counseling working together as a couple (and individually). They are both trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, which boasts a 75 per cent success rate in helping couples change negative communication patterns and develop
a supportive relationship. The Menards will are launch an eight-week educational group that begins in May with free introductory sessions to meet them and see if their service is a right fit for you. Call 250-863-7863; www.apathofheart.com Kelly O’Connor, a graduate of Lester B. Pearson College of the Pacific who will begin her Master of Science in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies at Oxford in the fall is Mount Allison University’s 49th Rhodes Scholar. One of the most prestigious academic awards in the world, the scholarship is valued at over $100,000. O’Connor is one of 11 Canadian students and 83 worldwide to receive the award for 2011, which covers two years of postgraduate study at Oxford University in England. Mount Allison has had 49 Rhodes Scholars from among its students over the life of the scholarship. For a university of less than 2,500 students
today (less than 1,300 when Mark Dickie of MacKay LLP was there in the 1970s—just a little trivia), that’s a pretty good record. A while back I wrote about the new Pack-NStack Moving Boxes (the cardboard alternative) owned by Ash Burnell. The company now has a new website, www. packnstack.ca. Kelly Deck, of Kelly Deck Designs and host of HBO series Take it Outside, will be at the new location of Sun Country Furniture, owned by Carol Dodge at 160-2463 Highway 97 North on March 31 to help launch their spring season. All attendees will be given up to $1,000 in coupons from their sponsors and a free Sunbrella lumbar cushion. To register or for more info call 250-8609088. Tourism Kelowna and 16 area golf courses have come together to form Canada’s newest golf experience, giving golfers access to a mass of diverse and quality golf courses. From Predator Ridge to the new Greg Norman course in Peachland, a new marketing program has been designed to position the area as Canada’s premier golf destination. Golf Kelowna is a longterm initiative, increasing the number of golfers traveling to our area. Not only will this positively impact golf, but accommodators, restaurants, car rental companies, retail stores and gas stations that service travelers will also benefit. The website www.golfkelowna.com also includes an on-line tee time and vacation package booking engine to ease the trip planning process.

BUSINESS ▼ WORKPLACE
Whose computer is it, anyway? I n today’s workplace, many employers provide their staff with electronic devices with which to perform duties. From cellular telephones to laptop computers, these are now tools of the trade for many occupations. Most employers would, I believe, assert that the technology they provide to their employees is the company’s property and is to be used strictly for work-related purposes. The reality of their employee’s use of the employer’s technology may be entirely different. It is becoming commonplace that devices provided to employees are used for a mix of work and personal purposes. Employees make personal calls, send personal emails, download Internet content, and save personal files on those devices. Numerous sticky questions arise from this mixed use. One relates to the degree to which the employee has a reasonable expectation of privacy over his or her personal content. An Ontario court has ruled that employees do have a right to privacy in relation to their personal content stored on an employer-provided device. This decision is sure to spark an ongoing debate in the courts about the na-

He had been provided with a laptop by his school for his use in teaching communication technology and in supervising a laptop program for students. He accessed a student’s email account, found nude photographs of another student, and copied them onto his laptop’s hard drive. A school technician later searched the laptop, found the explicit images, and advised the school’s principal. The school then required Cole to turn over the laptop, copied the objectionable content onto a disc, and analyzed his online searching history. The laptop and discs were handed over to police. The issue arising from his case, which recently reached the Ontario Court of Appeal, was whether
Cole had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the contents of a work computer. The court noted that there is little authority in Canada on the issue of whether an employee has a reasonable expectation of privacy in a work computer. It found, here, that the “conventions and customary use by teachers” of the school computers were consistent with the existence of a reasonable expectation of privacy. Although it was a work computer owned by the school board and issued for employment purposes, the school gave the teachers possession of the laptops, explicit permission to use them for personal use, permission to take them home during evenings and weekends and summer vacation, and allowed them to use passwords to exclude access by others. Critically, there was no clear and unambiguous policy giving the employer the right to monitor, search, or police the teachers’ use of the computers. The court found that the teachers’ right to privacy was modified, but not displaced, by the fact that the school’s technician could and would access the laptops as part of his role in maintaining the school’s network. Although Cole’s case was decided in the crim-
inal law context, the comments by the Court of Appeal will surely resonate in civil cases involving the workplace relationship. Several lessons can be derived from the Cole decision. First, if employers provide their staff with computers in part for personal usage, they should expect that content of a personal nature will find its way onto those devices. Second, if the employer wishes to restrict personal usage, it had better have a clear policy to that effect and it must take steps to enforce compliance with that policy. Third, in order to enforce compliance the employer should be periodically searching those computers to ensure personal content has not made its way on board. Whether most employers are prepared to take these steps is questionable. Many will simply accept the fact that personal content on workplace devices is a sign of the times in which we live and work.

BUSINESS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS
Collaborative leadership presents a catalyst for change C ommunity collaboration is a process of shared decision-making—all parties with a stake in a problem or issue constructively explore the differences in opinion and perspective to develop a joint strategy for action. The ethic of collaboration, I have discovered over the years, is premised on a belief that politics need not be a zero-sum game, where one party wins and one loses, or where both sides settle for compromise. Because, I firmly believe, if the right people are brought together in a spirit of joint leadership and constructive manner and have the appropriate information, they can not only create authentic visions and strategies for addressing their mutual concerns, but also overcome their limited perspectives of what is possible. This fall will be the fifth year of residency here for my wife and I since moving from Saskatchewan to our new adopted home, West Kelowna. We made six consecu-
tive trips to the Okanagan and actually moved here on the seventh. During the first few journeys, given my interest and intent on contributing my entrepreneurial passion to the Okanagan region, I undertook to discover the myriad of organizations that comprised our landscape floor. Guess what? The world is really not that different in many ways from one geographic corner to the next when one attempts to observe solution-bearing activity. This week, I would like to examine with you what collaborative leadership might mean to all of us who have so much to offer each other as we strive to move our valley and its many communities forward in a common socio-economic gain. My own focus is the realm of entrepreneurial leadership through our entrepreneurs society and its activities, this column and what is yet to come in this channel of community encouragement. I still find myself bewildered by the appearance of beauty, affluence
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young and multi-culturalism combined with a plague of divisiveness that pervades our geographical corners regardless of the topic, issue or perceived problem. Collaboration, in its simplest root, means “to work together.” The most robust definition I have discovered in my research says collaboration is “a process through which parties who see different aspects of a problem or issue can constructively explore any differences and search for solutions that go far beyond their own limited version of what is possible.” I talk about this now because I am so desirous of our organizations, and people actually, reaching out our hands, forgetting any past misunderstandings, confusions and meanderings, and remind-

ing ourselves that there is such a creature entitled “the greater good.” Case in point: The Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society’s structure and mission. Started but a few short years ago with like-minded people who wished to offer a platform for the self-employed and those contemplating such station at some point in their lives, the society wants to contribute to the establishment of entrepreneurial leaders in the valley from all levels of industry and business. It was recognized early on that we were all volunteers who were part of a provincially-registered non-profit society and many in various stages of personal entrepreneurial development. Well, if there was ever a need for collaborative leadership, our society board, from its inception, required that spirit. It has taken some pain
and, yes, some suffering to pull together, a team of entrepreneurs who believe in themselves and in the mission of the society, how that working together as a singular unit is far greater than “the (individual) parts.” Let’s recall that collaborative leadership may be appropriate and relevant to us under a variety of circumstances, from resolving a neighbourhood or environmental dispute, to revitalizing an economically depressed area, settling conflict between communities, a joint venture among business investors, promoting greater civic participation (really like this one and boy, is it needed) and involvement in the well-being of a community—our community field of dreams to be precise. Banding together as leaders to work for common goals is not new. The literature is full of examples of how regions
embrace forms of building blocks —cooperative ventures, community interest groups, neighbourhood task forces and civic coalitions. It has been asserted that: “If you’re doing advocacy, it’s more confrontational, more strident. If you’re doing development, it’s more collaborative.” I have discovered that there are a growing number of community-based organizations across this great nation of ours today focused more on building a public agenda than advancing a specific singular cause, that are based on inclusiveness rather than representation, that emphasize unified citizen empowerment rather than the manipulation of existing power structures, that are focused on building relationships rather than “winning” a perceived battle even if losing the war is inevitable.

most observers of collaborative leadership agree that it must be democratic and inclusive, that is it must be free of hierarchies of any kind and must include all parties that see a stake in the outcome. As one of our notable West Kelowna leaders points out, “Without community empowerment and broad participation in agenda setting, the decision-making process of discussion, debate and compromise is relatively meaningless…” Collaborative leadership means building collaborative communities by fostering our social capital, which we have in abundance.

New magazine uncovers subtleties in white-centric society Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
What does racism look like in Kelowna? It’s an interesting topic and one a group of UBCO students hope to get residents of this city exploring with a new magazine entitled White Uncovered. “While a lot of people notice racism when it’s there, they’re not aware of white privilege, which is what our magazine tries to expose,” explained masters student Carrie Karsgaard. “It’s just this subtle, undercover centrality of whiteness—that we’re the norm. We set the cultural rules without even being aware of it.” Karsgaard penned an article on the television show Glee in the 15-page magazine, examining how the program offers a veneer of multiculturalism, but ultimately leaves all the key story lines to the central white characters. As wildly popular as the show currently is, it poses an interesting question about our understanding of pup culture— though the magazine does offer more concrete local examples as well.

Emma Donoghue 7 p.m. March 31 at UBCO, ADM 026
Natalie Ingram creates a character in a young girl whose father is white and mother is black, and looks at how differently she’s treated on the first day at a new school. Though entirely fictional, the story is likely all too real for some, Ingram noted, saying the magazine is intended to flush out some of the everyday slights and profiling that go on under our noses. “We were looking to resist the idea that racism is something that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far away,” she explained. Even the way we look at the issue—generally focusing on the disadvantages of not being white rather than the advantages of being white—shows we really don’t paint our world with a brush that’s truly equal, the group explained. “Privilege is a less obvious form of racism because it is often unseen,” says Meaghan Hume in her story, Why Canadians Are the Problem. From the centrality of white history in Vernon’s murals to the racist immigration policies applied to Jamaican work-
ers upon their arrival, the magazine pushes locals to question how the Okanag-
an understands and deals with race. The work can be found
online at www.white. markrosebigband.net. Hard copies were
made available at a launch party on the International Day for the Elimination of
Racial Discrimination.

t 3000 square feet, the Treadgold/ Bullock exhibition gallery at the Kelowna Art Gallery would normally be considered a fairly large space. In order to make it seem instantly much smaller it took only the installing of 19 paintings by Ontario-based painter John Kissick. It’s not only the large size of Kissick’s works, but their raucous and wild shapes and colours, that cause this strange phenomenon of shrinking the space, such that a visitor might actually feel a bit choked and claustrophobic. These zany paintings push hard on the limits of taste and decorum of what a painting ought to look like. Visitors can see

After these come the most recent works in the show, three seven-foothigh whoppers called Groovefucker. Apologies for the profanity of the series’ title, which is a real term referring to the mash-up phenomenon of the DJ music scene in dance clubs. The title is also a reference to Kissick’s assemblage method of working, in which he makes like a magpie, picking up bits and pieces of visual information (from components of nasty 1970s supergraphics and bathtub stickers to colour-test patterns), shoving them all together in single seething compositions. Kissick is concerned a lot with language, both verbal and visual. He cut
his academic teeth on critical theory, back in the 1980s, and still views his practice through this lens in certain ways. There is a challenging rigour to his madness, and nothing slapdash about his method of working. In fact, the nervousness of the show’s title (A Nervous Decade) refers to the artist’s wrangling with the problem of painting itself in the contemporary period, how to make it alive, valid and current, without jettisoning its relationship to its own history and traditions. The accompanying exhibition catalogue is a wonderfully colourful product with excellent production values, its design reflecting the whacky and punchy quality to Kissick’s paintings. Both the show and
this catalogue are the results of a collaboration between the Kelowna Art Gallery and the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery. That community is the next town over from Guelph, Ont., where Kissick is the director of the School of Fine Art and Music at the University of Guelph, although he lives in a tiny village by the name of Elora. Kelowna is the first stop for the show after its opening in Kitchener last summer, and from here it goes on a national tour. In the meantime, visitors to the Kelowna Art Gallery can enjoy these intriguing paintings until May 8. Liz Wylie is the curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery. 250-762-2226

NEWS ▼ HEARTWORM
Spring is here so it’s time to deworm your pets S
pring has sprung and the heartworm season will be soon upon us. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the importance of routine deworming of our pets, including prevention of heartworm. Gastrointestinal parasites are very common in both dogs and cats. In general there are a few different parasites: • Protozoa are single cell parasites. The most common protozoa that infects dogs and cats are coccidia and giardia. Gi-
FURRY FRIENDS
Dr. Moshe Oz ardia is commonly found in stagnant water so dogs that are taken to swim in the lakes or drink from ponds are at higher risk of getting infected by giardia. • Intestinal worms consist on roundworm,
hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms. Intestinal worms are most common in puppies and kittens but very commonly infest adult pets as well. Gastrointestinal parasites affect the animal in a few different ways. First, the parasites are located in the animal’s intestine and utilize the food that the animal eats for their own body’s needs while depriving the food from the pet itself. A pet with gastrointestinal parasites will often have diar-
rhea, vomiting, weight loss or poor weight gain in young animals, listlessness and anorexia. Blood in the stool is also typical for intestinal parasites infestation. Hookworms are blood suckers, their presence can lead to severe anemia and even acutely kill a puppy or a kitten. Pets infested with intestinal parasites often have a pot belly appearance. The belly swells because of the excess gas given off by the worms. This gives a notice-
Parkinson’s awareness month April is awareness month for Parkinson’s disease and it is recognized internationally to coincide with the birth month of Dr. James Parkinson, for whom the disease was named. If you have Parkinson’s or know someone who does, you are not alone. This is the message that Parkinson Society British Columbia wants to convey to the 11,000 individuals living with Parkinson’s in the province. “The society’s services include information, re-
sources, and education for people living with Parkinson’s” said Diane Robinson, CEO of the society. “We are reaching out so that we can help as many people as possible in B.C. and let them know that they are not alone.” Kelowna resident, Wendy Olinger, knows first-hand the daily challenges facing individuals living with Parkinson’s. As an active mother of a combined family of seven, grandmother of six, former community librarian and city councillor,
she has struggled valiantly to live a normal life. In 2009, when she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the age of 55, she was determined the disease would not stop her productive life. “I turned to PSBC for guidance and no longer felt that I was alone,” she said. “The services and programs the society provides helped me and my family move forward in a more positive way.” “I also want a cure found as soon as possi-
ble, and I know that supporting research will take us there”. She joined the Kelowna Support Group and had 250 walkers at the inaugural walk in Kelowna which raised more than $50,000. In 2010, PSBC contributed $320,000 to researchers in B.C. including Catherine Winstanley and. Kaitlyn Roland, both from UBC Okanagan. Established in 1969, PSBC is a registered charity that receives no government funding.

able rounded appearance to the belly. You may notice the worms that are expelled in the feces. Some worms are very large, others are as tiny as a grain of rice. Another typical sign for presence of intestinal parasites is scooting. Adult worms, eggs and larvae are expelled out of the anus, which can cause intense discomfort for your animal. Your pet may sit on the floor and drag its behind across the ground to scratch it. It may also bite at their rearend repeatedly. Some intestinal parasites affect pets that will transmit to people as well. Small children are the most at risk for serious problems related to intestinal parasites. Worms often are transmitted from one species to another. If one of your pets has been diagnosed with worms, all of your pets will need treatment as well. Many people are not aware of the fact that tapeworms are transmitted
through fleas. The worm grows inside of the flea. Fleas cause itchiness that makes the pet bite itself and swallow the flea and get infested by the tapeworm. A complete deworming treatment should include an antiflea product as well. There are different methods for diagnosing the presence of gastrointestinal parasites. The most common method is a microscopic examination of stool sample. Giardia can also be diagnosed by a specific in-house lab test of the stool. There are different deworming products available for treating and preventing gastrointestinal parasites. If you suspect that your pet might be infested by parasites take it to your vet. The protocols for deworming vary according to the different types of products and also depending whether the deworming is given as prevention or as a treatment for an actual existing infestation.
Your vet will recommend to you what is the most appropriate medication to use. In general, I recommend to pet owners as prevention to routinely deworm their pet every three to six months. In general, heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes, hence when the weather gets warm the disease spreads. The Okanagan Valley is one of the only areas in Canada that heartworm is found. This is a life-threatening condition that can be prevented by monthly administration of one of the heartworm medications. I recommend to my clients to start applying heartworm prevention medication as early as April. Please consult your veterinarian about more information on deworming and heartworm medication.

▼ IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME
Up to one in five adults experience IBS
A
pril is IBS awareness month. Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common disorder that affects the large intestine (colon), causing cramping, abdominal pain, bloating gas, diarrhea and constipation. The symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome can vary widely from person to person and often resemble those of other diseases. For most people, IBS is a chronic condition, although at times symptoms may be worse and at other times they may improve or even disappear completely. As many as one in five adults experience IBS. It’s not known exactly what causes irritable bowel syndrome. The walls of the intestines are lined with layers of muscle that contract and relax in a coordinated rhythm as they move food through the intestinal tract. With IBS, the contractions may be stronger and longer than normal, forcing food to move through the intestines more quickly, causing gas, bloating and diarrhea. In other cases, the opposite occurs and food passage slows, and stools become hard and dry. Abnormalities in the nerv-

James Kaufman ous system or colon may play a role in IBS. Certain foods, stress, hormones, and illnesses may trigger IBS symptoms. Because it’s not clear what causes irritable bowel syndrome, Western medical treatment focuses on the relieving of symptoms. Treatment may include fibre supplements, eliminating foods that trigger symptoms, and medications such as antibiotics, anti-diarrhea medications and anti-depressants, among others. Many people may have only mild symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome that can be managed by learning to better deal with stress and making changes to diet and lifestyle. However, sometimes symptoms can be disabling and may not respond well to medical treatment. Acupuncture offers a positive option for IBS sufferers. Often irritable bowel syndrome is

used as a catch-all phrase for all cases of abdominal pain which do not have another explanation. In Chinese medicine, the various cases of IBS do not fall into one broad disease category, but are broken down into many different disorders because the causes can be so varied. This is why individual symptoms may vary so greatly from person to person, because the underlying problem is usually very different for each person. In Chinese medicine terms, IBS may be classified as a type of abdominal/intestinal pain, epigastric/stomach pain (occurring in roughly half of IBS sufferers), or as a type of diarrhea, depending on the individual symptoms experienced. For IBS with abdominal/intestinal pain, the cause is usually due to the liver-energy becoming blocked, which may
further cause problems with the spleen’s digestive functions. The blocked liverenergy causes symptoms of bloating, constipation, and belching, as well as moodiness and irritability, symptoms which may be aggravated by emotional upset. If the spleen is also involved, there will also be fatigue and alternation of constipation with diarrhea. Acupuncture treatment helps to move the liver-energy in order to resolve the retention of food, relieve pain and improve digestion, and corrects spleen functioning to resolve diarrhea and improve energy. For IBS with epigastric/stomach pain, the cause can be due to a variety of different imbalances with the stomach, leading to improper or incomplete digestion of food. This can cause a variety of symptoms ran-
ging from pain, nausea and vomiting, to belching, headaches, diarrhea, or constipation. The specific symptoms experienced will depend on the specific problem that is occurring with the stomach, whether it is due to heat or cold damaging the stomach, or because the stomach-energy is blocked. In any case, acupuncture can help the stomach to function properly so that digestion is corrected, resolving symptoms. Acupuncture offers very effective relief for IBS sufferers, relieving the symptoms of the condition as well as helping to resolve symptoms and prevent future flareups, allowing those with IBS to live a more regular, symptom-free life.

City takes smart landscaping approach The City of Kelowna is implementing smart landscaping practices—news standards aimed at reducing the city’s own water consumption as well as reduce residential landscaping water consumption by 15 per cent. City council introduced and proposed bylaw on March 28. Council will consider its final adoption at their next regular meeting with the target roll-out date being mid-April. “These landscaping and design regulations are consistent with industry best practices, making Kelowna the first city in B.C. to set this level of landscape water usage standards,” said Don Degen, manager of the city’s utility services. “The process will help property owners learn how to attractively landscape their yards while conserving water.” Under the new bylaw, property
owners building new homes or renovating existing outdoor landscape irrigation systems will be required to apply for a city permit before installing or renovating their irrigation system. Property owners with irrigation systems less than 100 square-metres would be exempt from this requirement. “We recognize that the permit process may be new for some and property owners may need assistance with designing their spaces,” said Neal Klassen, Water Smart coordinator. “A great place to start is the landscape guide.” Property owners will be required to submit a landscape water conservation report. The landscape guide and worksheets have been developed to assist property owners and will be available on the city’s website at kelowna.ca/ watersmart.

MOORE, FREDERICK CHARLES “FRED”
His life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, “This was a Man” William Shakespeare On March 25, 2011 Fred decided to join his favourite girls for an eternal walk. Born April 13, 1944 in Montreal, Quebec, Fred’s teen years and schooling took him coast to coast before he started his interesting jobs with a few of Canada’s oldest employers CPR and Hudson’s Bay Trading Co. Yes it is true Fred was a fur trader in northern Canada. While at one of these outposts he met and married Barbara the love of his life, it wasn’t long before they decided the middle of nowhere was no place to raise a family and moved to Calgary. It was here that Fred stumbled onto his dream career in mobile communications. Fred moved his family to Kelowna where he became a respected and successful business man. He was a self taught genius with a keen interest in world news and politics. Fred was predeceased by his wife Barb in 2008, his four legged friend Indy in 2006 and both his mother Rita and Father Raymond. Fred is survived by his daughters JoAnne (Kalvin), Sherryn (Brian) and Shannon (Darren), grandchildren Ashley (Jonathon), Dylan, Tessa, Kane and Siobhan, great grandchildren Benjamin and Conor. Fred is also survived by his brother Ray (Delia), sister Elspeth and long time family friend Kathy Critchley. There will be no service at Fred’s request. Donations in Fred’s memory can be made to the Diabetic Association, 1589 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 5Y7 Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

MILLER, BERNICE L.
(nee Brooks) Passed away peacefully with her family at her bedside Thursday, March 25, 2011. Survived by her husband Stan, daughter Sharon (Scott), son Byron and her three wonderful grandchildren, Douglas, Rebecca and Rachel (Michael); also sisters, Alice (Orville) and Genevieve (Doug). Bernice was predeceased by her parents Jenny and Fred Brooks, sister Florence and Hazel, brothers Arthur, Wesley, Lloyd, Fred and Clyde. Bernice came to Kelowna in 1944 from her home in Sturgis, SK, to live with sister Flo. She went to Herbert Business College and was soon in the employ of the Bank of Montreal and later in life for the Bank of BC. She was at home while the children were schooled and at all times contributed her talents to the community with the March of Dimes, Red Cross Blood Clinics, Hospital Aux., babysitting for St. Paul’s United and once a year warehouse cookies in the basement for sale later by the Girl Guides. In retirement years golf was taken up and as a member at Gallagher’s she took pride in her golfing efforts. With husband Stan and her little car, trips were on the go to various Kootenay Hot Springs, across Canada to Quebec and up to Dawson City, back to Saskatchewan, many a time, and countless ones to Kamloops. In 1991 a glorious trip with sister in law Merle and husband Peter won by Stan for a $1.25 burger was made to Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok. Bernice faced head on a long tough seven year battle with PSP. The family are very appreciative of the help in her fight from Dr. Alan Hignell. She was into her fourth year in the hands of Mountain View Complex Care. The caring, kind and compassionate staff surrounded Bernice with that most beautiful of all emotions: total love. Elsa, Terj, Kim, Renee, Shelley, Lynn, Hans, June (smile maker), Lisa, Betty, Teena, Linda, Lana and oodles more…..we love and thank you. A family get together, (but none of Grandmas’ lemon loaf, egg sandwiches or cinnamon buns), will take place Saturday, April 2, 2011 at the Manns in Knutsford 1:00 – 4:00 pm, open to all.

its sweeping views of the city and countryside. The reopening of the road after the winter closure means cyclists and pedestrians must remain on the pathways. “It’s a very popular park and it can get fairly busy,” said City of Kelowna urban forestry supervisor John Penrice. “We ask everyone to respect the rules in the park—keep dogs on a leash, stay on the trails and no smoking.” Spring is a delicate time in the park, as tender new plant growth emerges and resident wildlife becomes more active. Park services staff urge visitors to Knox Mountain to respect the environment. “The female deer here in the park are pregnant right now and being chased or attacked by dogs is not good for them,” said Penrice. “A lot of people love seeing the deer in this natural-setting park.” Knox Mountain Road re-opened on Monday to motor vehicle traffic, which is permitted Monday through Saturday, from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays, noon to 9 p.m.
Tax tips for Kelowna caregivers Caring for a family member with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia brings economic as well as emotional costs. Some of those financial costs may be tax-deductible, advises the nonprofit Alzheimer Society of B.C. “As tax season approaches this year, it is important that you are aware of the credits that you may be eligible for,” said Jennifer Hamilton, the society support and education coordinator for Kelowna. The society has created a special tax edition of its newsletter “In Touch,“ which provides some basic tax tips that may be particularly useful for caregivers. “It is a helpful starting point when considering what to discuss with your tax preparer,” said Hamilton. The “In Touch” tax edition can be found at www.alzheimerbc.org For more information, contact Jennifer Hamilton at the Alzheimer Resource Centre, 865 Bernard Ave., at 250-860-0305 or email jhamilton@alzheimerbc. org.
