More eye candy to wow local movie goers Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

The movie-going public is about to benefit from another boost in the number of big screens in town. Calgary-based Landmark Cinemas already boasts 18 movie screens in the Central Okanagan and plans to increase its number of theatres to 24 by next summer. Landmark, which owns Grand 10 on McCurdy Road, Capitol Theatre in Westbank and The Paramount in downtown Kelowna said it would build six, state-ofthe-art cinemas in a 1,860-square-metre complex in a new commercial development planned for Westside Road and Highway 97. When rival Famous Players’ existing theatres at Orchard Plaza are factored in, that would leave the Central Okanagan with a total of 29 cinemas. Landmark chief operating officer Neil Campbell said that his company’s research shows the Central Okanagan can support all those screens, given ongoing growth in the movie business and in the Central Okanagan’s population. “The Okanagan region as a whole is healthy and growing very well. This was too good a development not to be part of it,” said Campbell. The new cinema would be an anchor tenant in a 14,000-square-metre, $38-million strip mall to be built adjacent to the new Westside Road interchange. “We will be where big box stores are and like our other theatres this development will offer very complimentary businesses like restaurants, making this a destination location for the public,” Campbell commented. He said his company would market the new cinema to people on the Westside and those in Kelowna, encouraging them to cross the Bennett Bridge. “We want to make it something people in Kelowna get used to doing. I used to go across the old bridge and it was inconvenient. What a difference now. It’s like night and day getting across the new bridge.” Campbell said that ease of access, combined with the new theatre’s stadium-style seating and advanced technology, like Christie DLP digital projection and RealD 3D, would create a big draw to the theatre.

SITTING IN HIS wheelchair with a tear running down his cheek and his daughter Kelsey looking on, Mel Camilli

told his heart wrenching story about how he lost both his legs in a logging accident 23 years ago, at Kelowna’s Day of Mourning ceremony held at Ben Lee Park, and how that accident has since impacted his life.

Workplace safety message hits home Mike Simmons CONTRIBUTOR

As employers and workers gathered in Ben Lee Park on Wednesday to remember those who have been injured or died on the job, WorkSafe-

BC speaker Mel Camilli pointed out 98 per cent of workplace accidents can be prevented. It was just such a preventable accident that took both his legs and put Camilli in a wheelchair for life.

In the summer of 1986, a 21-year-old Camilli was working for his uncle. He knew how to use a power saw, but otherwise had little experience in logging when he stepped off a float plane onto an island off the coast of

Prince Rupert. He spent a day watching how things were done. The next morning, Camilli received a half hour orientation and a 10-minute safety lecture. He started work that day. He now marvels at

the lack of training for a young person with no experience to work around 5,000 to 15,000 pound pieces of equipment. But Camilli loved his job. See Message A11

▼ SPRING WINE FESTIVAL

Competition judges says Sandhill Wines the best Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s Sandhill Wines has brought home the most top awards from the Spring Okanagan Wine Festival’s Best of Varietal competition, announced yesterday afternoon. The Peller Estatesowned premium winery, which is the creation of master winemaker Howard Soon, brought home three winners, as judged by his fellow winemakers. The winning wines were the 2008 Small Lots Syrah, the 2008 Small Lots, Single Block Chardonnay and the 2009 Small Lots Viognier. In addition, five other Sandhill wines were among the finalists in different categories, including the 2007 Small Lots Sangiovese, the Syrah, the 2007 Small Lots Two, the 2007 Small Lots, Single Block Merlot and the 2008 Merlot. Sandhill has brought

more than its share of recognition to Kelowna in the past year, winning the Winery of the Year recognition from the annual Wine Access magazine competition last fall. Local Peller wines brought in a haul of 32 medals in total from last fall’s professionallyjudged competition, 18 of those for Sandhill. In addition this spring, sister winery Peller Estates won for its 2008 Family Series Cabernet Franc, along with being a finalist for its 2008 Private Reserve Chardonnay, 2009 Family Series Pinot Blanc and the 2008 Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Another Peller Estates-owned winery, Red Rooster in Naramata, made the finalists’ list for its 2009 Rose and its 2009

Viognier. CedarCreek Estate’s 2009 Ehrenfelser is the other Central Okanagan winner in the annual contest, while its 2007 Merlot and 2009 Pinot Gris was a finalist, as was that of Arrowleaf Cellars. Both local wineries also were finalists in the Pinot Noir category, while Arrowleaf’s 2009 Bacchus got the judge’s notice as a finalist, as did its 2009 Solstice Gewurztraminer. Neighbouring Gray Monk Estate Winery’s 2008 Gewurztraminer also made the list of finalists, along with the 2009 from a new local winery, The View. Its 2008 Pinotage was also a finalist. Another new local winery, Intrigue Wines’ 2009 Nine was a finalist in the white blend category, while its 2009 Riesling also was in the finals. Mission Hill Family Estate was a finalist in the syrah category for its 2007 Select Lot Collection Syrah, as well as for

Its 2007 Major Allan’s Merlot from the Ganton

Self-improvement program helps build healthy families Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

Driver’s licenses require testing, but anyone can have children, lamented a local mother at a Tuesday afternoon funding announcement for the Building Healthy Families Society. While those words are usually delivered as a judgement, she used them only to explain what led

her to the society’s doors two years ago. “I wanted to be a better parent, and I knew the cycles I was repeating weren’t working,” she said, asking to be referred to only as Raquel. “I came here two years ago with no hope and I had two beautiful children who weren’t giving up hope on me…but it was hard. I had to admit somewhere I had gone wrong.”

Through the programming made available to her and 250 other families each year, however, she learned she wasn’t a bad parent—just that there were better ways to live. “I learned to teach my children to think for themselves and face things in the world that we didn’t before,” she said. Self-improvement programming made way for Raquel to pursue some

post-secondary education and in years to come, she’ll be a support worker like the ones who greeted her at the front door all those years ago. “If I can give back an ounce of the hope and love I’ve found in these rooms it will be a good life.” While the programming has had an invaluable impact on her life, there aren’t that many people in the city who

know about what the society has to offer. It’s her hope that will be changed from the $30,000 funding for a Family Tree Fund from TD Canada Trust, Tree of Hope and Landmark Centre. “We’re high profile with social service agencies, but we hear that people don’t know what we do a lot,” said Eleanor Diekert, the society’s executive director. From early interven-

tion to anger management and conflict resolution, programs offer support and education for at-risk families with children from birth to 16 years of age. The services are free with funding from the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Developent and the United Way, which funds a Nurturing Fathers program. “Establishing and maintaining health family

relationships is the key to creating better communities,” said Jane Russel, senior vice-president of TD Commercial Banking. “Building Health Families’ mission is to break negative parenting patterns that have run through generations and forge new positive paths for the future.” For more information on parenting programs call 250-861-4933.

t finally became clear to me on Monday what the problem with the CD-21 zone is. After cluttering newspapers and conversations about town for three years, this pesky redesign for Kelowna’s downtown core has come to a virtual standstill with councillors pouring hours and money down the drain trying to figure it all out. Then finally, this week we got a hint of why several of these duly elected officials just can’t seem to make hide nor hair of what they are there to vote on. As the mayor began addressing the architect, the viewing public discovered Kelowna actually hired 1980s television action hero MacGyver to draw up the designs they are debating, as opposed to one of Vancouver’s top architects, Graeme McGarva. Now, it’s been a while since Mr. MacGyver was off the air, so for those of you combing the recesses of your mind for ’80s pop culture references and coming up with a sketchy picture of Saturday Night Live’s MacGruber rip-off blowing something up, fear not. This municipality just isn’t that silly. In fact, they’re deadly serious down there at city hall where the bona fide MacGyver action hero

has been hard at work trying to suss out what is best for this city’s waterfront streetscapes. He’s been consulting with council for at least three months now, both in public and behind the scenes. Yet even with the real, full-meal-deal Action Jackson himself on hand, the CD-21 plan he’s drafted seems to have enough mind-blowing inner complexities to have virtually shut down the public process. No matter how hard he tries to explain it, these councillors just can’t seem to get their heads around it. So far, MacGyver has been more or less asked where exactly the four blocks in front of city hall sit and where the buildings on the map he presented to council several years ago are in physical proximity to city hall— city staff handled this one with a little walk around the block. He also had to roll a little hotel marker around the block like a monopoly piece to ensure it wasn’t too close to Kerry Park. It’s not that far off the park no matter where you put it, if you really want to get into it, but this way it will appease the voters. And that seems to be the name of the game at this point—appeasing the voters; although, I’m not sure council’s really accomplishing the task. For if you’ll recall back at election time, all of these councillors had us pretty convinced they understood the scheme their trusty MacGyver was cooking up.

CONTRIBUTED

PERHAPS THE MacGyver of 1980s TV fame might

have had better luck steering Kelowna city council through the complexities of the CD-21 zone proposal at less cost to taxpayers. They were elected, after all, on their various perspectives on the plan. New Coun. Charlie Hodge, was against it, as was Angela Reid. Luke Stack and Graeme James liked the idea. The returning councillors actually voted on the document three times with the previous council, so one hopes there was some logic to those yeahs and nays. Yet now, this poor old action hero is dropping everything to fly up here every other week and painstakingly spell out each twist and turn to a group, ironically known for their utter lack of action. Now, in fairness, MacGyver is really architect Graeme McGarva, and the mayor simply must be growing so tired of negotiating what’s become a confusing, if altogether dysfunctional, mess of a process that she’s no longer paying attention to some of the details—like the architect’s name.

Me, I dream of Jeannie when I’m bored out of my mind, but I think we can all appreciate a good action hero. So if that’s where the mayor’s mind needs to go to get through this task, then more power to her. But in the meantime, the voting public ought to know that in trying so shamelessly to secure their votes for the next round of elections, several councillors are literally pouring money down the drain asking questions they should have understood before taking on their jobs. City staff roughly estimate our MacGyver’s bill for the workshop consultations he’s conducting this spring at $20,000 and climbing. The only thing council managed to accomplish Monday was to add another workshop and consultation session with their hero to the list. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Investigation at the scene confirmed that the suspects broke into the main store area through the front door, before removing the safe as well as breaking into an ATM machine. It has yet to be determined exactly what was taken. A short time later police were also called to the Lake Country Shell, which is also located on Highway 97, across the street from the Gas Depot, where a similar offence had occurred. Once again the culprits gained entry through

the front door of the business and removed the safe from the store. It is believed that the same persons are responsible for both instances, and that the same vehicle was used. The suspects are described as approximately 5-foot-10, 170 lbs, wearing heavy jackets or sweaters. The vehicle used was a 1994 grey or silver Jeep Cherokee, which was displaying Alberta licence plate RBA-239, at the time, although it has subsequently been learned that this plate had been recently stolen from a residence in Lake Country.

Tussock moth spray zones have been identified by city hall staff Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The city has released the exact areas where it wants to spray to protect against tussock moth. Last week, council approved a move to spray several areas within the city for the pest, which causes severe allergic reactions in about 20 per cent of both people and domestic animal populations. City council was told their staff would go into a meeting immediately after the Monday council meeting to nail down where the spraying zones they’re applying for would be and this week they released the exact locations of spray zones they’ve applied to the province for a permit on. Those locations are: • In forested land on Duck Mountain between Glen-

more Road and Highway 97 • At the end of Union Road abutting Coyote Ridge Regional Park and • On Knox Mountain Park. The portion of Knox Mountain Park and the forested area near the end of Union Road will only be sprayed with NPV, or Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus. It is a naturally occurring virus within the tussock moth population which affects the larvae. Portions of Duck Mountain, meanwhile, will be sprayed with NPV on new high egg mass sites and both NPV and Bt-k where trees have already begun losing leaves. Bt-k, or Bacillus thuringensis var. kurstaki, is a soil bacterium which kills the insects within one to five days. The permit would al-

low the city to apply the insecticide by helicopter under strict wind and weather conditions sometime between May 31 and June 15. Upon approval of the permit, the public will be alerted and information will be available on kelowna.ca/environment regarding spraying procedures, intended timelines and Knox Mountain Park temporary closures. Private landowners in the areas have been or are being contacted to determine whether they wish to participate in this initiative, according to city news releases. Kelowna residents and property owners may view the permit application and associated maps of treatment areas for the proposed spray program, or receive more information at the City of Kelowna Parks Office, 1359

KLO Rd. (weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. excluding holidays) or online at kelowna.ca/environment. The city is also working with the Regional District on a separate program to spray at Coldham, Trepanier Greenway and Stephen’s Coyote Ridge (upper Glenmore) Regional Parks, as well as an interface area of upper Ellison in the Central Okanagan East Electoral Area.

Love of food not always a good mix with love of wildlife I suppose it shouldn’t come as a total surprise that my two loves of good, fresh, local food and the outdoors, occasionally collide.

But it wasn’t the deer to blame for devouring my salad greens before they’d grown to harvestsize, it was a deer mouse, and he isn’t any more, but I think it’s too late for my spring appetite. It’s lucky the farmer’s market isn’t far away. On the other side of the coin, my outdoors appetite has been thoroughly enjoying the colours of spring, as hillsides dotted with arrow-leaved balsamroot decorate the Okanagan, along with deep blue larkspur and

the first red Indian paintbrush, death camas and fringe cups. The red-winged blackbirds are back too, although the yellow-headed ones have tarried along the way. A pair of spotted towhees are acting silly in my yard and there are warblers and finches and chickadees and nuthatches singing a slightly different song than usual. Woodpeckers too, are into spring behaviour: pre-dawn hammering at the metal strip on the roof in a bout of territorial drumming that’s enough to wake the dead, as well as attract a mate. For good or for bad, it’s spring. That was evident last weekend as hundreds of families turned out to the official openings of the Hall Road youngsters’ fishing pond in Mission Creek Regional Park and the Shannon Lake pond,

netted off from the rest of the lake and stocked with catchable-sized trout where those under 16 can legally catch a rainbow a day without buying a fishing licence. Neither are stocked for the use of adults. The idea is to encourage young people to learn to fish in a safe spot that’s handy to home, and where, on the weekends, there will be either volunteers from local fish and game clubs available to give them some tips, or staff from the regional district. Take your kids or grandkids, or the neighbour’s youngsters and show them how to catch a fish, but these stocked ponds are not there for adult anglers to use for themselves.

Chamber lobby is edging out politicians on road wishlist Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

Local politicians believe B.C.’s transportation ministry is spending too much time listening to calls for highway improvements from valley chambers of commerce. Concerns were expressed around the Central Okanagan Regional District board table this week that the ministry was paying more attention to the chamber lobby than hearing what local politicians had to say about Highway 97 upgrades. Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding said chambers of commerce along the Okanagan corridor have created a forum in which they have established what appears to be a formal consultative relationship with the ministry, ensuring the business community is kept abreast of future development of Highway 97. “What’s missing from it is any political representation,” said Fielding. “Somehow the municipalities need to get together and ensure we have a voice because I can see this becoming a chamber-ministry (partnership) that carries far more weight.” Fielding suggested Okanagan mayors sit down and determine their own

strategy for approaching Transportation Minister Shirley Bond about priority improvements. Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd said the mayors of the four largest Okanagan municipalities––Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and West Kelowna–– would meet for a workshop at the Cove Resort in West Kelowna on June 4 to discuss strategy. “We’re supposed to be sending a letter to the minister of transportation requesting a meeting because we’re concerned she apparently has been meeting with the chamber reps and not with local (government) reps.” However, West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater said he met with Bond in Victoria last week and put his municipality’s requests on the table, including a call for improvements to the Highway 97 bottleneck through Westbank. “We found Minister Bond very receptive to discussion about local issues and her staff will follow up with our staff.” Even so, Shepherd said Okanagan municipalities must ensure they establish a strong collective connection with the minister. “We need to meet,” Shepherd stated succinctly.

tence suitable to the crime he was convicted and he meets the requirements of the title. “This is the sixth offense for violence in Mr. Trainor’s record,” said Barrow, adding three have come in the past four years and that each assault has increased in severity as time has gone on. In the most recent case Trainor, who had been drinking, stabbed a fellow Byrnes Road orchard worker Marcel Dufresne during a tussle stemming from an argument about Trainor’s missing harmonica. The victim suffered serious stab wounds to his abdomen and shoulder and Trainor didn’t stop wielding the knife until he was physically removed from Dufresne. During that outburst, he was under the influence of about a dozen beers and Barrow said that alcohol has been a contributing factor of many of the crimes in his past. “If Trainor drinks he’ll re-offend, and I’m satisfied if he abandons his transient lifestyle his prospects will improve,” said Barrow, adding Trainor also won’t stay in one place unless a court order mandates it. Ten years alcohol free, he said, should give Trainor the time to develop a social network. “I don’t think you want to do these things… the common feature is alcohol,” said Barrow, describing Trainor as a man who wants do the right thing when absent from the effects of alcohol, but easily gives into his demons when under the influence. Trainor didn’t speak during the sentencing, but shook his head in apparent frustration several times during Barrow’s delivery of his decision.

▼ EDUCATION

Budget cuts steep price to pay to balance the books Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

More restriction on money flowing from the provincial government for education is showing effects downstream with the cuts of more than 42 positions across School District 23. Staffing arrangements were finalized for the 2010-11 budget by the school board on Wednesday. School district superintendent Hugh Gloster said it is difficult to determine exactly how many people will no longer be with the district. Partial reductions in hours make it impossible to predict how many people would decide to go elsewhere for work. Gloster noted the district is proposing the elimination of six district-supported teaching positions, 11.9 positions teaching in the field, 22.16 support staff positions and 2.5 positions from excluded staff and administrators. Currently, the school district employs approximately 1,500 teachers and 1,200 support staff. School trustee Wayne Horning said there will be difficult times ahead for the district unless the government starts funding them properly. Without further support from the provincial level, Horning projected that next year will be as bad as this year for cuts that need to be made. School trustee Gail Given noted the district finance and legal committee went through a significant amount of consultation with partner groups, more so than in previous years. “There isn’t anybody that’s happy with the funding we’re getting.” Given said the board has focused on the students, and noted every item listed to be cut will impact students in the district. CUPE local 3523 president Bill Zeman said the district is actually in a $5.1 million shortfall, not $4.7 million, due to an extra week of Spring Break added in the 2007-08 school year. Zeman pointed out the $400,000 represents the equivalent of eight to 10 full-time positions. He said the union is used to the results of the budget process, and pointed out some years there are reductions but in other

years there are none. “It seems to be always the support staff that gets cut.” Zeman said he hoped the union can keep most of the people working, and attributed the cuts to a lack of funding by the province. The local has staged protests and circulated material online about the effects of the funding shortfalls, but Zeman said the protests seem to be falling on deaf ears in Victoria. “We know that we’re paying the price right now. It’s coming out of us to pay for the Olympics.” Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association president Alice Rees said the association had been signalled the number of layoffs about two or three weeks ago, but pointed out the number does not contain the list of parttime teachers who will lose chunks of hours. Some are being reduced by 50 and 60 per cent of current working hours.

Rees noted the district is discussing fewer positions for next year. The move would leave fewer full-time teachers doing the same amount of work, with less assistance from part-time staff. Despite the reductions, Rees pointed out that the school board has done a magnificent job of making deep cuts while trying to avoid effects on students. She noted the board has cut $12.1 million from their operating budget in the last two and a half years. A $2.5 million facilities grant was also lost. Rees pointed out the district ran on one of the leanest block funds in the province for years and has faced several substantial reductions in funding. She viewed the recent round of cuts as beyond trimming the fat from the school system. “There was never any fat to speak of in School District 23…They’re cutting muscle, they’re digging into the very bones

Thank You

of the system.” Rees noted that middle schools and high schools are losing 11 teachers, while elementary schools are gaining 11 kindergarten teachers with the implementation of full-day kindergarten. Those positions are only partially funded by the province. Rees pointed out that simultaneously, schools have seen cuts in learning assistance time and proposed reductions in library time. “How can you say that those wouldn’t impact the learning quality for those kids?” Rees said the cuts are not the fault of the school board and that the board has done everything it could. She noted teachers in the district also remain committed to keeping educational quality at its current level. “The board has involved us from the beginning, our guts have been absolutely twisted and sick on this.”

Lower Mainland. The Okanagan market is too small to recoup the large costs associated with building such a theatre, he explained. As for the Capitol and Paramount Theatres, Campbell said Landmark plans to keep both open. The new Landmark cinema will be an anchor tenant in a strip mall to be built at the new Westside Road Interchange, south of the Westbank First Nation band office, with all construction due to be completed by August of next year. The strip mall is a joint development of the Westbank First Nation and Vancouver-based Property Development Group. Property Development Group vice-president Keith McRae said that he would not release the name of other tenants at this time, however, he said the commercial development would offer a drug store, fast food drive through restaurants and full service eating establishments. He said other tenants would make their own announcements in the next 30 to 60 days. “We’re anxious to get off the ground. We believe this is a location that is a new trade area unto its own,” said McRae. “There is a high concentration of population in the area and it’s strategically located next to the new bridge.” Westbank First Nation Chief Robert Louie said this development has been in the works for two years; however, the economic downturn in late 2008 and 2009 caused delays. “Everyone felt a little jittery but the outlook is very strong now,” said Louie. The WFN will hold a referendum on July 8, asking members if they approve of the first phase of the commercial development, which would be built on band land and leased to Property Development Group for 99 years. “I am anticipating a positive vote, allowing construction to start hopefully in September,” said Louie. jluciw@kelownacapnews.com

▼ DAY OF MOURNING

‘As soon as I opened my eyes, my life changed forever’ Message from A1 The days were beautiful. He liked being outside, and the smell of freshly cut wood. All of that changed in March when he was pinned between a 15,000pound piece of machinery and the log he was climbing over. Camilli lost his right leg at the scene of the accident. It took three hours for a helicopter to arrive, and seven to eight hours before he would reach professional medical attention at the hospital in Prince Rupert. He was in a coma for seven weeks. “As soon as I opened my eyes, my life was changed forever.” Two and a half years in hospital were needed before Camilli could get on with his life. He said the idea of life in a wheelchair was difficult to accept but a decision he eventually made. The accident affected his family deeply. Both the accident and the time Camilli spent in hospital

could have been prevented. Since that time, Camilli has spoken at high schools and work sites about safety on the job. He says that people are hearing him. One high school student recognized him at a store two years after hearing him speak. The former student now works in the construction industry and said he thought often about what Camilli had said. Camilli pointed out the efforts of Worksafe BC are making an impact. Around the time that Camilli was first injured, it was expected that people would die on the job, especially in the areas of manufacturing, logging and construction. He said the organization has tried to change attitudes and emphasize that such deaths are not appropriate. Local steelworker’s union president Bruce Gardner pointed out the April 28 Day of Mourning is unfortunately becoming a ritual, now recognized in

more than 100 countries. “No matter where we are in the world, no matter how advanced our technologies, people still die on the job.” Gardner added that many workplace injuries and occupational diseases go unreported. He noted many people know someone who was killed at work. Gardner said employers need to teach young workers to slow down and learn the job before they learn the pace. Worksafe BC occupational health and safety officer Kevin Birnie said the event is a time to recognize those who have died on the job, but also a time to remind us of our individual responsibility to help prevent injuries or fatalities in the workplace. More than 94,000 people in B.C. were injured on the job in 2009. Of the 121 fatalities, 54 were due to asbestos or silicon exposure over a long-term period, 23 were due to traumatic incidents in the workplace and 19 were

due to motor vehicle accidents. Birnie noted the numbers of injuries and fatalities have decreased from previous years. But he acknowledged that statistics mean nothing to families who have lost a loved one on the job. Noreen Carlton is one of those family members affected by a workplace accident. Her son Randy was badly hurt on a construction project in Victoria. Two years later, her son is still undergoing physical rehabilitation and will never fully recover. Randy slipped while reaching for a roll of materials on a roofing job. He was not wearing fall protection gear, and plummeted more than 14 feet, landing headfirst on a concrete slab. His 16-yearold daughter was standing by as she waited for her father to be done work, and went into shock when she saw the accident happen in front of her. When Noreen arrived at the hospital in Victo-

ria, she found her son in a coma and on life support. Randy sustained facial fractures, a paralyzed right arm and a crushed pelvis. Unable to speak clearly and often losing the

thread of a conversation, her son will spend the next three to five years in rehabilitation. She told her son’s story to one company owner in the Okanagan, but found nothing changed.

She pointed out workers must stand up for the safety and rights of employees, and she asked employers to do the same. “Do you value your employees, or do you gamble with their lives?”

phrases to increases in dropout rates because students don’t seem to have clear goals when enrolling in college or university. This correlation between goal-setting and dropout rates has been around for a while and is

considered a strong indicator on whether or not a student will succeed. Proponents of this correlation argue that setting goals allows students to focus on goal-relevant activities such as studying, attending class, and completing assignments, as

opposed to non-goal activities. Students with clear goals have a greater capacity for self motivation. They also have more enthusiasm, increased persistence, are less susceptible to anxiety, disappointment, frustration, and have higher self-es-

Students are asked to free-write (not being concerned about spelling or grammar) about their ideal future, qualities they admire in others, things they could do better, their school/career futures, things they would like to learn about, and habits they would like to improve upon. This first step is intended to have students describe their desired future. Step two asks students to extract seven to eight goals that would be required to meet their desired future. From there, students rank their goals by importance. Goal relevance is important as unrealistic goal setting can be less motivating in comparison to achievable goals. Once these are established, students are required to write about how achieving their goals will impact on their lives and the lives of others. The next step is to build a plan to meet their goals. This includes completing sub goals as students work towards completing a future goal. For example, a student may require upgrading a mathematics course to be admitted into a program, or they may need to find a way to limit video game playing to five hours per week to make time for school work. Once the plan is built students are expected to identify any obstacles and to build strategies for overcoming these. A perfect example would be to study at the college library instead of at home where there are more distractions. Further on in the plan, students are expected to set benchmarks which are to help motivate them to continue towards their goals. The last step is to sit back and reflect on how committed they really are to achieving their goal. If there is any doubt they are expected to start again at step one until they are able to come up with that one career/education/future goal that they can truly commit to. Although this sounds like a fairly simplistic process, when you’re 20 years old it can be quite daunting trying to see yourself at 40. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes life experience to just figure out what your goals may be. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

Option for creative integration of education/child care Busy professional parents in Kelowna looking for a great education and safe, on-site childcare

now have a new option to consider thanks to a new program at First Lutheran Christian School.

The seamless education and childcare initiative, which launches in September, will offer

education and on-site child care to students aged three to 12 from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. “As a working mother, I know the challenges of struggling with what to do with the kids when you get called in for an early mor-

ning meeting or have the kind of job that doesn’t allow you to finish by midafternoon when the children finish school,” said the school’s chief learning officer Karine Liegmann. “The peace of mind of knowing your child

can go to before-school or after-school care just down the hall from their classroom and with their school friends is something we know will appeal to parents.” Registration for the 2010-11 school year and

the new daycare program is already underway, with limited spaces available. For more information on the school and program tuition fees, check out the website at www.firstlutheran.ca or call 250-7643111.

▼ MP’S REPORT

The real work on Parliament Hill

BUY AN RV, GO TO VEGAS! APR. 29 - MAY 2!

’ve got some good news for you. Despite the fixation of the Liberal Party and some media to paint Parliament Hill as a hotbed of scandal, important work is being done on the hill. On the justice front, the federal government has re-introduced legislation that will end the use of house arrest for property and other serious crimes by serious and violent offenders. The legislation makes it clear to the courts that those who commit serious property and violent offences will serve jail time, and house arrest will no longer be an option. This legislation was re-introduced because, in its previous form, it was amended to the point that it removed some of the serious offences that were proposed for ineligibility. As a result, offenders convicted of some serious property and violent offences—including among other things, aggravated assault, human trafficking, luring a child, street racing causing death, arson, fraud, counterfeiting, and extortion—remain eligible for conditional sentences, including house arrest. Local police and the community have expressed their frustration at our revolving door justice system which sees chronic and violent offenders rotate in and out of the correctional and judicial systems fostering uncertainty and fear in our communities. This legislation is a positive step to address that pattern and ensure meaningful consequences for serious and violent crimes.

ACCEPTED

Ron Cannan The federal minister of justice also announced legislation to ensure serious time for the most serious crime: A bill to repeal the “faint-hope clause” that allows murderers to obtain early parole. Eliminating the fainthope clause would ensure that criminals who commit first-degree murder would not be eligible for parole until they serve the full 25 years of their sentence. Similarly, offenders serving life imprisonment for second-degree murder would no longer be eligible for parole until their parole ineligibility period is served, which could be up to 25 years. Once this legislation comes into force, offenders who commit murder on or after the day will no longer be eligible for early parole under the fainthope regime and those who are currently serving their life sentence or awaiting sentence will face tougher rules when they apply. Legislation has also been introduced to move forward on Senate reform. It rubs many of us the wrong way to know that senators can serve terms of up to 45 years. See Cannan A18

Senators limited to eight years

NEWS Cannan from A14 That is why the government has introduced legislation that will limit the terms of new sen-

ators to a single eightyear term, which is long enough to allow senators to gain the experience necessary to fulfil the Senate’s important role in

legislative review and investigation, while ensuring that the Senate is refreshed with new perspectives and ideas on a regular basis.

NOTICE OF POWER INTERRUPTION IN WEST KELOWNA Time: 4:30 AM to 8:30 AM When: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 We will be making electrical system improvements in West Kelowna on Wednesday, April 28th. To ensure the safety of our work crews, it will be necessary to interrupt electrical service for approximately four hours, from 4:30 AM to 8:30 AM. The areas affected include Abel St, Abel Crt, Bayview Crt, ALL of Campbell Rd and ALL associated roads off of Campbell Rd.

The Conservative government has long been committed to an accountable and elected Senate and that is why this week the government unveiled the next step in achieving that goal—the Senatorial Selection Act. This legislation encourages provinces to hold Senate elections and further obliges the prime minister to consider the democratically elected nominees. On the local front, the Standing Committee on Agriculture and AgriFood came to town this week to hear from young

farmers on the future of farming and to tour a few of our orchards and vineyards. Despite the impression out there that big corporations run most farms, 98 per cent of farms are still family owned but they need help. I want to thank the farmers who came forward to testify before the Committee. I know it’s hard at this time of year when the weather is good to take the time to come out and speak but my colleagues appreciated the effort and you did an excellent job providing a comprehen-

sive list of the challenges you face. The solutions are there if everyone from the farm to the marketplace including consumers do their part to strengthen the Made in Canada food chain. If any of you have any questions or comments on proposed legislation or any other federally-related matter, I encourage you to contact me by email at ron@cannan.ca or by phone at 470-5075. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country.

Teacher’s dispute with Catholic school raises ethical issues

ack in 1927, the Sisters of St. Ann at Little Flower Academy wouldn’t have heard any opposition if they discovered a homosexual teacher in their midst and fired her promptly. It would have been the right thing to do. Maybe there would have been hushed giggles and whispers among the students, but it wouldn’t have made any newspaper headlines. But this week, when Little Flower Academy in Vancouver apparently asked a gay music teacher to “work from home” when she returned from leave after the birth of her and her partner’s son and some parents complained, the teacher called the media. Now, as a journalist, I always get a bit suspicious when someone runs to the media so quickly and cries foul. In this case, the teacher, Lisa Reimer, staged a press conference and slowly detailed the events leading up to her alleged home treatment. The testament included “closed doors” tidbits clearly designed to make the principal and viceprincipal look guilty. She said she had been employed on a one-year contract since September, filling a maternity leave, and it was fine until her son was born. She said they didn’t fire her, but asked her to fill out her work duties at home until the end of her contract in June. In reciting the events, Reimer did not come across as a victim. She was smug. Nowhere in the speech did she explain why—oh why—she would want to work at a Catholic school when the doctrine was clearly not in alignment with her own beliefs. She stated she wasn’t Catholic when she signed her contract, but didn’t say she actively acted

NUTSHELL

Shelley Nicholl against the Catholic faith. Why wasn’t she forthcoming? She said it was “none of their business.” Maybe not, but it raises the question whether that is a significant conflict of interest that should have been noted or a right that need not be questioned. Now she definitely has a point, but her methods blur the legitimate concerns here. Little Flower Academy, the tony Shaughnessy private Catholic school, makes a good fall guy. The statement in reaction to Reimer’s public display said they were “quite surprised” by her actions because they thought they had worked out an agreement. The Little Flower media release, unfortunately, was so vague that they look as guilty as, well, you know what. (Will someone please teach both sides about good media relations?) So, here is the hot part of this issue. Little Flower gets provincial education funding for its school. It’s not as much as public schools get, but they do receive some. Does that make them a public institution subject to human rights rules as at public schools? Now, suppose you were a Catholic parent wanting—and paying for—your child to be taught according to the Catholic religion. Wouldn’t you be miffed if you discovered your daughter was being taught by someone clearly in violation of the faith? Shouldn’t parents expect what they sign up for?

So, what’s the answer? Perhaps, if Catholic schools want to shroud the students in the fundamentals of the religion, they should be self-supporting. That would prevent this argument that they are actually public schools. But, shouldn’t we expect all schools, no matter what their core religious

basis, to not infringe on basic human rights? That is really the point that Reimer could be making a lot better. Where is the line between religion and rights drawn? In Reimer’s case, it’s still not certain exactly what happened or if indeed human rights were violated, but we need to decide more definitively

what we can accept when religion and human rights collide. It’s tricky because religion is a right in itself. The burqa ban in public employment in Quebec is an example of a similar conundrum. So is the removal of the ban on turbans worn by Sikhs in the RCMP. In the U.S., it’s a bit more simple: Church

and state are separate. You can’t even pray on the field before a football game at a public school, despite the country being predominantly Christian. In Canada, we’re more sensitive, which is good, but it ends up creating a wishy-washy set of rules that are hard to follow. Quite simply, Reimer should be free to teach at

Strata councils can levy fines I

t was both infuriating and frustrating to recently listen to a syndicated radio talk show host create more confusion and chaos within the condominium community. As if there isn’t enough already. As a former reporter and talk show host, I know only too well that once it’s out there, it’s almost impossible to get it back. The interview was with a strata owner who had racked up $ 17, 000 in fines. Ouch! That’s pretty serious stuff by any measure. Apparently not everyone was smitten with the owner’s pet dog and filed a noise/nuisance complaint with the strata council. A fine was levied, which was ignored, and eventually blossomed into a sizeable debt. While scoring As for empathy and outrage, the radio host reinforced the age-old adage of never letting the facts get in the

STRATA SCENE

Gunnar Forsstrom way of a good story. While attempting to give the owner (and his countless listeners) helpful advice, he opined that the strata council couldn’t fine her for a bylaw infraction. He further offered that fines could only be levied for overdue strata fees. Unfortunately, he couldn’t have been more wrong on both counts. At least in B.C., under the Strata Property Act, fines are the prescribed remedy for bylaw violations. Interest and liens are the penalty of unpaid strata fees. In either situation, an owner would be well served to not take condo law lightly. Strata councils have

apply & ride

the statutory authority to impose fines for numerous offences, real or perceived. Fines generally can range from $50 to $500 for each infraction. If the owner ignores the written notice, further fines can be imposed every seven days that the violation continues. Although strata councils are able to legitimately levy fines, sometimes even to outrageous amounts, the real cost can often result in a conflicted community. In this example, the dog owner would have had to ignore a year’s worth of written notices and warnings. Obviously communications had completely collapsed, positions were becoming entrenched and the members would be polarized. Unlike life in traditional neighbourhoods, condo dwellers are often shocked to realize their neighbours can actually fine them, and in fact govern them.

There is enough contention and differences in most condominiums, just as there are in any residential community. However, the situation should never be allowed to deteriorate to the point where owners end up on radio talk shows to plead their case. ••• The agenda for a free strata seminar is taking shape. The panel will consist of professionals in the strata management, legal and insurance fields. The seminar, to be held May 19 at the Ramada Inn, is open to all selfmanaged strata owners and council members. Please contact me to register at 250-860-1411.

SPORTS Barrie WHL’s top D-man Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Thanks to Tyson Barrie, a longstanding void in the annals of the Kelowna Rockets is no more. The Victoria native this week became the first player in the 18-year history of the franchise to win one of the Western Hockey League’s major regular season awards. Barrie was named the WHL’s defenceman of the year Wednesday in Edmonton, beating out Eastern Conference finalist Michael Stone of the Calgary Hitmen. “Obviously, it’s a tremendous honour,” Barrie said by phone Wednesday following the awards luncheon. “You look at the names of past winners and it’s a pretty impressive list, so that’s nice. “The award is a credit to our organization, the coaches, our GM Bruce (Hamilton), Lorne Frey and all of my teammates. Everybody had a hand in helping me win this.” The offensive-minded Barrie scored 19 goals and added 53 assists in 63 games to tie Vancouver’s Kevin Connauton for most points (72) by a defenceman during the 200910 campaign.

Rockets head coach Ryan Huska said Barrie’s game took a big step forward over the last eight months. “We’re very proud of him, to win this award as an 18-year is an amazing accomplishment,” said Huska. “He was great for us all year, especially when we had all those injuries, he carried the load and his play never changed. It was a big year for him as a leader…he stepped up and was one of our most positive guys.” The Rockets organization has won several major awards in the past, but none by its players. Bruce Hamilton was the executive of the year in 1992-93 (Tacoma) and 200203, while Marcel Comeau (199293) and Marc Habscheid (2002-03) each won coach of the year honours. Anne-Marie Hamilton was co-winner of the marketing award in 2003. As for becoming the first player to break through, Barrie is grateful. “They’ve had tremendous players here over the years, so it’s a surprise none have won before,” said Barrie, a third-round draft-pick of the Colorado Avalanche in 2009. “Winning this award wasn’t something I had in mind, but to be recognized is great. I can’t give enough praise to the team.”

Two other Rockets were finalists for WHL individual awards but both settled for second. Shane McColgan finished as the runner-up to Red Deer’s Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for rookie of the year honours. McColgan, 16, a native of Manhattan Beach, Calif., scored 25 goals and added 44 assists in 71 games. Forward Spencer Main was the Western Conference nominee as the scholastic player of the year, but placed second to Swift Current’s Adam Lowery. The other WHL major award winners were: Player of theYear—Jordan Eberle, Regina Pats Goaltender of the Year—Martin Jones, Calgary Hitmen Most Sportsmanlike Award— Jason Bast, Moose Jaw Warriors Humanitarian of the Year—Matt Fraser, Kootenay Ice Coach of the Year—Mark Holick, Kootenay Ice Executive of the Year—Kelly McCrimmon, Brandon Wheat Kings Marketing/PR Award—Everett Silvertips, Zoran Rajcic Top Official—Chris Savage, Medicine Hat, Alta.

▼ BANTAM DRAFT

Blue liners top picks for Rockets at 2010 draft Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Defense was the prevailing theme for the Kelowna Rockets at the 2010 edition of the Western Hockey League’s bantam draft. Lorne Frey and the defending WHL champs used their first two picks to take a pair of rearguards at Thursday’s draft of 1995-born players in Edmonton. With the first choice, ninth overall, Kelowna scooped up Jesse Lees, a 5-foot-11 168-pound blue-liner from Calgary. As fate would have it,

the Rockets had Lees right near the top of their wishlist. “It came down to individual preferences for a lot of teams and we were very happy that Jesse was still there,” said Lorne Frey, the Rockets director of player personnel. “He’s an excellent two-way guy, very strong, and he skates well. He’s a modern-day defenceman who can do a lot of things.” With their second pick, the Rockets swapped second round choices with Prince George and took Madison Bowey 23rd overall. Kelowna, which also

gave the Cougars a pair of fifth-round choices to get Bowey, was ecstatic to see the 5-foot-11 168-pound rearguard from Winnipeg was still available. “(Bowey) is probably the equivalent to Jesse Lees in what be brings, skill and skating wise,” said Frey. “We think we got maybe the two most mobile defencemen in the draft.” In the third round, the Rockets grabbed 5-foot8 forward Tyson Baillie from Fort Saskatchewan, Alta. The Rockets, who had no picks in the fourth or fifth rounds, chose Cole

Linaker, a centre from Edmonton in the sixth round, 113th overall. Any of the Rockets selections in the seventh rounds and beyond do not appear in today’s Capital News. See kelownacapnews.com for updated draft results. Choosing first overall, the Prince George Cougars took Alex Forsberg, a 5-foot-10 170-pound cen-

tre from Waldheim, Sask., who played last season with Saskatchewan’s Beardy’s Blackhawks. Vernon’s Curtis Lazar, a centre from Kelowna’s Pursuit of Excellence program was chosen second overall by the Edmonton Oil Kings. Choosing third, the Lethbridge Hurricanes took centre Johnathon Merkely of Calgary.

LOCAL PICKS

Defenceman Ayrton Nikkel was the first player from Kelowna Minor Hockey to be selected in the draft. The captain of the

Kelowna bantam tier 1 Rockets this past season, the 6-foot-0 Nikkel went in the second round, 42nd overall to the Saskatoon Blades. “I’m ecstatic,” said Nikkel, a Grade 9 student at KLO. “I’ve liked the Blades for a long time and I’m happy they were the team that wanted me.” In round 3, 51st overall, the Chilliwack Bruins selected 5-foot-9 forward Luke Harrison of the Westside Warriors tier 2 bantams.”Luke’s a great kid and a fantastic player,” said Westside bantam coach Larry Keating. “For him be drafted out of tier

2 is a great accomplishment.” Kelowna product and Pursuit of Excellence goaltender Jackson Whistle went in the fourth round, 79th overall to the Vancouver Giants. POE centre Gavin Broadhead then went 80th overall to Medicine Hat. Due to Thursday’s deadline, any choices made after the sixth round do not appear in today’s issue of the Capital News. Picks in the seventh round and later will appear in Sunday’s edition and on kelownacapnews. com. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna United U12 boys win two in Vernon For two more weekends, local soccer players in the boys U12 age group will strut their stuff as they look for spots on the Okanagan zone’s B.C.

U12 B BOYS

KU U12 B Impact played in a double header Sunday afternoon in Kamloops. The Impact played tentatively in the first half of their first game due to the addition of new players and absence of all but one of the team’s regular defenders. With only one substitute, the Impact were overwhelmed by the strong play of Kamloops Blue and fell 6-1. In the second game, against Penticton 2, relief came with the addition of three players from U12 B 2. The Impact played a strong team game winning 2-0 as Hunter McMorran re-

corded the shutout for the Impact. In other action, the Kelowna United boys U12 B team defeated Penticton by a score of 2-0 in Kamloops. Goal keeper Brendan Speiser’s had a superb shut out opposing Penticton, which followed a 2-2 tie with Prince George. Sasha Josipovic exhibited a stellar performance scoring all four goals for KU.

U13 GIRLS

Kelowna United downed Prince George 2-0 Saturday in exhibition play in Rutland. Kelowna opened the scoring at 30 minutes as Breanna Cabuche crossed for Lindsay Lalach to finish clinically. In the second half, a rapier pass from Emma Johnstone found Jaedyn Penkala, with her back to goal, executed a balletic overhead shot. On Sunday Lake County, the U13A girls downed Prince George B 2-0. Erin Graham and Jaedyn Penkala, on a penalty kick, scored the goals. On Sunday at Parkinson, United U13 A and U13 B played to a 0-0 tie.

The United U14 A picked up a pair of wins in exhibition play, wiping out Prince George U-14 by a 10-0 score in the first game. Liam Duncan connected three times, while Dom Haynes and Stefan Obradovic had two goals each. In Game 2, Obradovic scored the winner as United edged PG’s U15 boys 3-2.

SHE GOT MAD WHEN I TOLD MY ARTISTS, ‘SORRY THERE’S NO VENUE.’ SHE DOESN’T WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW, BECAUSE THEY’LL ALWAYS THINK THE WORST. Julia Trops Okanagan Erotic Arts show producer

Slated to start today and run throughout the weekend, the show’s future started to look dodgy weeks ago when the organizer couldn’t nail down a locale and then seemingly disappeared. That’s when Trops pulled her artists from the event, and vendors started panicking about when and how the deposit money they put down would be returned. “At this point there is no location, she hasn’t told anyone, ‘Yes, keep the faith,’” said Trops, who added she’s been told each vendor put an average of $1,000 down. “She got mad when I told my artists, ‘sorry there’s no venue.’ She doesn’t want the public to know, because they’ll always think the worst.” Trops has been dishing out updates through

her blog okanaganeroticartshow.com all week and a police file has been opened in Vernon to deal with those vendors who are concerned the money they put down to have a booth disappeared. They have also been very forthright in their comments, talking about their frustrations with being duped. For Trops, concerns about those who may have been burned are strongest, but the idea her credibility in the community was leveraged for someone else’s ill-gotten gain, stings most. “(The organizer) and I had a fairly good relationship—she and I had been in contact often from the beginning of the year... and she seemed legitimate and sincere.” While she’s examining her own actions, Trops is getting a lot of positive reinforcement from the 20 artists she had gathered. “They have been amazing and patient, 90 per cent of them are from the area and they were excited because this was the first time there would be an adult-oriented event in the community,” she said. “It’s a fabulous opportunity, in an event that is relevant. I know a lot of artists compiled work with the idea that this was going to be seen in an erotic venue, so they pushed themselves.” Trops hasn’t lost all hope. She’s taking a week’s vacation from the hullaballoo and has every intention of putting together a show sometime in the future, should a venue present itself. “It would be a great show, if I could show it,” she said. While she was missing in action for a couple of weeks, the event organizer recently started making calls to vendors who were anxiously awaiting any new information she could offer. There have been no definitive answers on what will come of her portion of the event.

Gunless gives Canadians another chance to chuckle at ourselves

fter the spectacle that was the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics, there was an overwhelming pride in being Canadian and the fact that we can laugh at ourselves. Gunless gives us that chance to laugh at ourselves again. Not only is it an entertaining comedywestern, it gives the genre a uniquely Canadian flavour. Paul Gross, who has made a career of being uniquely Canadian, plays an American gunslinger who finds his way to the small Canadian hamlet of Barclay’s Brush, spoiling for a gunfight. But the only thing scarcer than a duelling partner is another revolver in the town. While he waits for both, he must try to figure out these strange people who seem to have no concept of the code of the Wild West. And if you didn’t already know, it was filmed in Osoyoos, the town be-

it seems only fitting that the most famous stalker of teenagers in their dreams gets his own. There is not much new to the story of A Nightmare on Elm Street—a group of suburban teenagers are being stalked by a horribly disfigured killer wielding a glove with four blades. When Freddy kills his victims in their dreams, they die in reality. If you like inspirational sports stories, The Perfect Game is a must-see. It is based upon the recent book of the same name which was itself based upon a 1960 Mexican documentary called Los pequeños gigantes (The Little Giants). It is the true story about a group of boys from Monterrey, Mexico who became the first nonU.S. team to win the Little League World Series in 1957. The boys were met with racism, a language barrier and visa troubles

▼ VOLUNTEER CENTRE

Whole family can volunteer at the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs are encouraging families or individuals to volunteer for the organization. Family volunteering is a great opportunity to teach your children the feeling of pride and selfworth by giving of yourself to others. For some people volunteering is natural. However, parents can enhance and encourage this behaviour by volunteering beside their child. Children learn more about life by what they see done, versus by what they are told to do. The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs is a leading provider of programs to children and youth that support the healthy physical, educational and social development for over 5,000 young people and families each year throughout the Okanagan valley. Each center creates a safe, supportive environment where children and youth experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life.

There are two events where family volunteering is a perfect fit at the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs. The first is the Money Mart Easter Seals Okanagan Boys and Girls Club 24 Hour Relay for the Kids held on June 11, 12 and 13 at the Kelowna Apple Bowl. The second event is the Boat For Hope event taking place on the Kelowna waterfront on June 19 with the Kelowna Yacht Club and Variety BC. Throughout the year the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs also has the need for volunteers with special gifts, skills, talents, or those who like to contribute as volunteers within the community. To volunteer please go to our website at www. boysandgirlsclubs.ca/career_volunteer.php and scroll down to the section on volunteering and fill out and submit the application on line. For more information please contact Miriam King, special events coordinator at mking@ boysandgirlsclubs.ca or call her at 250-762-3989 ext 107.

Think about that second beer

aving a second beer with dinner might not seem like such a good idea, once new legislation aimed at taking drunk drivers off B.C. roads comes into effect. Acting Public Safety Minister Mike de Jong announced earlier this week new penalties for drivers caught imbibing before driving. Anyone who fails a roadside breath test will face a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and 30day vehicle impoundment. Add

in other fines and fees for towing and education and that second beer with dinner could end up costing more than $3,700. Higher fines are also in store for people who blow a “warn” — defined as a reading between 0.05 and 0.08 blood-alcohol content. This could lead to a three-day driving ban and a $200 administrative penalty. Previously, the punishment handed out by police for either infraction was a 24-hour road-

side suspension. The legislation responds to an increase in drunk driving cases in the province, despite more than 30 years of education from Mothers Against Drunk Driving and Counterattack programs. Provincial stats show about one in 30 people have yet to get the message. Unfortunately, the legislation won’t do much to curtail chronic drunk drivers, the people who rack up dozens of charges, fines,

car accidents and injuries—and yet still drive despite the loss of their driver’s licence. But the legislation gives police another tool to remove drivers from the road and puts the possibility of losing transportation, reputation and a significant amount of income in the front of people’s minds. So when the waitress asks if you’d like another beer, perhaps you might want to ask for a glass of water instead if you intend to drive home.

Southerners fret, environmentalists posture over Site C dam

efore I advocate the flooding of another 83 kilometres of the Peace River valley for hydroelectricity, let me establish my credentials, such as they are. After my family left the Okanagan for a homestead in the Peace country in 1961, one of our autumn rituals was to visit Taylor, just south of Fort St. John, in the shadow of an oil and gas refinery. There we would stock up on carrots, pickling cucumbers and other lush vegetables from the little market gardens perched in the micro-climate on the narrow banks of the Peace. In high school I canoed down the Pine River and a short stretch of the

mighty Peace, in the fall when it was safe to do so. Later I worked as a pollution facilities operator at the Taylor refinery, tending the giant water pumps, skimmers and aeration ponds that maintained a fragile barrier between the plant and the river. This past January I travelled to the remote north end of Williston Lake to witness the final settlement between BC Hydro and Tsay Keh Dene, one of two native communities where Sekani people were moved after their

traplines and cabin sites were flooded in the late 1960s. For $21 million plus $3 million a year for as long as the W.A.C. Bennett Dam produces power, the community dropped its lawsuit, as the nearby Kwadacha (Fort Ware) community had done

before it. These modern villages now work with BC Hydro to mitigate the ongoing erosion on the banks of B.C.’s largest body of fresh water, the piles of uprooted trees that wash ashore, and the dust that blows up the valley

when the reservoir is drawn down in summer and fall. There are no aboriginal reserves in the much smaller Site C region downstream. The dam would roughly triple the width of the already broad river, making it about a kilometre across. Of the 5,340 hectares that would be flooded, more than 80 per cent is Crown land. BC Hydro has been buying up private land over the years, and now owns 662 hectares. Another 360 hectares is privately owned, in about 20 separate parcels. The portion that’s actually farmed grows mostly hay, the cheapest way to keep cleared land from being taken

over by fast-growing aspen forest. If there is a single household supporting itself by farming in this area, I’d like to know where it is. As soon as the decision to proceed with environmental assessment of Site C was announced, urban environmentalists began posturing about “food security” and the need to preserve what amounts to four per cent of the Peace region’s arable land, much of it never farmed. Why don’t more landowners produce those bumper crops of vegetables? As someone who actually has farmed in the Peace country, I can See Fletcher A27

LETTERS

SUNDOWNR SAUSAGE

Developing countries exploited by Canadians

Quality, Value & Savings.

Open letter to Ron Cannan, MP KelownaLake Country: I write this as a concerned constituent, born and raised in Kelowna. I have recently learned of your decision not to support Bill C-300, pertaining to corporate social responsibility and accountability for human rights and ecological violations. I am deeply disappointed to come upon this news and am sorry to say I will be actively campaigning for a replacement MP in the next election; someone who supports the rights of all global citizens, rather than tows the corporate line. I understand the necessity of competitive advantage in the industry, yet I feel as though creating a strong moral standing in the global community would encourage contracts to be pursued with Canadian companies while respecting the basic rights of citizens in host nations. Bill C-300 takes strong steps to do just that, and your opposition does little to help this cause. As a student at UBCO, I had the opportunity to travel to Guatemala in the autumn and spend three months there. A break in studies allowed me to travel to Cuba. I sat in a restaurant with

a friend one day, wearing a jersey from a local Guatemalan soccer club. Four Guatemalan men at a table next to me recognized it and started up a conversation. They told me they were attempting to organize a summit of Latin American representatives to address the exploitation of campesino’s (farmers) in rural areas who were being evicted from homes or having their environments polluted and destroyed. They described how the people lacked the voice to characterize their struggle and gain support. They spoke of a company called Monsanto and the Canadian company Goldcorp, which were taking advantage of the lack of regulation. I assumed that Canadian’s would be devastated to hear this news. Support for this bill among the public in Canada signifies that I am correct, though more need to be made aware. Upon return to Guatemala, my university group had the opportunity to visit the Canadian embassy in Guatemala City. While waiting we noticed the building across the street was spray painted with a very apropos “fuera mineras canadiense de nuestra pais!” or “Canadian min-

ing out of our country!”. Is this the kind of image we want surrounding our country? A country which has been greeted historically with great respect in the international community is now being defined by its multinationals and their exploitative, coercive actions. We asked the councillors inside, one representing CIDA and the other a coordinating official between the respective governments, what their responsibilities were with regard to assuring regulation in mining practices. They told us the embassy facilitates dialogue but has no opinion on regulation. Again, I was confused at why that could be. I was reading the response you or your office gave to a fellow student who wrote in about this and noticed that pillar 1 of the government’s strategy for improving conditions is “assistance from CIDA for developing-country governments to enhance their capacity to manage natural resources in a sustainable and responsible manner.” Yet it is evident that CIDA is not engaged in any formal structural regulatory negotiations with these governments and has little ability to persuade them to pursue such a strategy. As such,

Canadian companies will continue to operate under conditions far less regulated than would be acceptable at home. It seems to me quite backwards to pursue a strategy of development without an emphasis on respecting the rights of a historically disenfranchised indigenous majority population. I realize Guatemala is only one case but from where I am sitting it appears to be the perfect case to discuss these strategies. I realize it is not in our interest to demand changes in other national governments policies, but it is our responsibility to exemplify a fair and respectful approach to business that directly affects citizens of these nations. At this point we moved on to the topic of Bill C-300 and the responsibility it would bring. If passed it would, among other measures, assure Canadians that our government would not provide financial and political support to companies that breach human rights and environmental standards. Accountability is all I am asking for as a citizen, represented in Parliament by you. I believe that all people deserve the assurance that their quality of life will be protect-

ed, regardless of whether or not they reside in an area of interest to the extractive sector. The strategy your government is proposing, with regard to pillar two and a voluntary Corporate Social Responsibility program, is not sufficient. The history of these companies shows an unwillingness to prioritize the rights and interests of people and their environment. Without firm regulation a shift in this course cannot be guaranteed. Residents of many developing countries are not afforded the opportunities which we in Canada have to speak out against exploitation and corruption. A quick reading of Guatemala’s history will illuminate the depths of this disheartening truth. As an MP and with regard to Bill C-300, you are in the privileged position to offer a voice to those without one. I am truly disappointed that you have chosen to support the corporate interests in their quest to extract more while circumventing morality and responsibility. I truly hope you will reconsider your stance on this issue and take a stand for the human rights that your party’s platform presupposes. Dave Korzinski, Kelowna

For example, both the couch manufacturer and his button, fabric, stuffing, and frame suppliers pay PST on their delivery trucks, computer systems, warehouse shelving, along with most other ‘input costs.’ It has been esti-

Property owners await buyout Fletcher from A26 think of a few reasons. It’s remote. Winters are long. Crops fail. People in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek are much like the rest of us, buying most of their produce cheaply at the supermarket. Take a drive through the Fraser Valley, where

immigrant labourers do the intensive hand-work on vegetable crops, to sell to a huge urban market less than an hour away. That, along with California and China, is the competition. It’s no surprise that Site C property owners are biding their time, waiting to be bought out. The engineering ad-

Did you know that improper discharge could result in a ﬁne of up to $200?

Beware of the lifestyle landmines that can derail your life

recently saw The Hurt Locker, a movie which won six Academy Awards this year. It is a riveting, suspenseful portrait of the courage under fire of the American military, often unrecognized heroes who do one of the world’s most dangerous jobs. The movie is about three members of the U.S. Army’s elite Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad search for and disarming of roadside bombs on the streets of Baghdad. In Iraq, it is soldier

vernacular to speak of explosives as sending you to “the hurt locker.” Over the past few years, we have learned about the powerful force of a particularly devastating weapon of warfare. It is hard to imagine a piece of metal no larger than two feet by two feet in size having the ability to destroy an armoured vehicle of military might. However, this is what a landmine does. Once the device is triggered, it inflicts serious damage on whatever is nearby.

The slightest pressure can cause detonation. Usually by the time that it is uncovered, it is too late to get out of the way. Physical landmines are placed on roadsides and in open fields of wartorn countries. We have lost dozens of Canadian soldiers who have walked into these landmines. In a similar way, we discover that there are spiritual landmines along our journey in life. Each one of us face trials and temptations no matter how hard we try to

avoid them. When we step on one of the enemy’s traps by yielding to sin or temptation, an explosion follows. It affects not only our fellowship with God, but also those we know and love. Landmines such as pride, jealousy, envy, insecurity, compromise, unforgiveness, disappointment, fear, sexual sin and laziness alter the way that we live. Landmines are not just lethal, they are sinister devices placed just below the surface of the

landscape where they remain undetected until just the slightest pressure is applied, then they explode, inflicting wounds so severe that any thought of recovery seems impossible. How do you discern and uncover landmines that the enemy has placed in your path? First, surrender your life to the Lord. Your relationship with the Lord is the most important line of defense that you have. If you are not interested in knowing Him and his ways, you are already

SOUL SEARCHING

Albert Baldeo standing in the middle of a minefield and the next step that you take can be deadly. Without thinking of the consequences, people can become jealous, bitter and unforgiving. They compromise their positions, open the door of immorality or yield to laziness of mind and heart and then wonder why life has turned dark and stormy. In chapter one of the Epistle of the Ephesians, Paul lists the armour of God. I believe that putting on the armour of God each morning is an essential part of being part of the army of God. There is only one defensive weapon that He has given us, and it is all that we need to stay firm in our faith against the attacks of Satan. It is the same weapon that Jesus used when facing the enemy’s temptation, the Word of God, which is God’s eternal truth spoken to man.

If you are facing temptation in any area, God’s word can teach you how to handle it without jeopardizing your fellowship with Him. Hardship and sorrow are a part of life. There is no escaping disappointment and pain, but you don’t have to become discouraged. Prayer is absolutely necessary to avoid landmines. Ask the Lord to give you Godly discernment and wisdom. God knows every landmine that the enemy has hidden along your path and He wants to be very serious about how you live each day. Obedience to God will not only expose any hidden landmines in front of you, it also prepares a safe way to travel straight through any difficulties. You do not need to become a spiritual casualty. “You are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ.” (Romans 8:37) Do you struggle with invisible pitfalls like pride, insecurity, compromise, fear or anger? Ask God to lead you safely through the landmines of life. Rev. Albert Baldeo is a retired United Church minister.

Fiesta blends class-leading content with European style Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR

This summer, Canada welcomes the 2011 Ford Fiesta, a brand new, small car that brings European panache and performance to North America at a starting price of $12,999. And it’s about time. “I can’t count the number of times friends have returned from Europe and bugged me about the great little cars they’ve seen and driven over there,” said Steve Pintar, chief engineer for Fiesta North America. “And they’d ask me, ‘Why don’t we have them over here?’” “Well,” he added, nodding at the Fiesta, “we’ve got one now.” The Fiesta nameplate has been a success, with over 12 million cars sold in Europe. And the latest version is off to a roaring start with three quarters of a million sales already, making it the number one seller in Europe, so far this year. “And I believe there’s been a convergence, with less difference between North American and

European drivers than in the past,” Pintar told me at the vehicle launch. A next generation of North American drivers, raised on imports, has become increasingly sophisticated and demanding. Global customer research found that style topped the list of customer desires everywhere in the world. Drivers accept no economy excuses, expecting a distinctively designed small car, quality-built with conveniences, comfort and connectivity. The new 2011 Fiesta is based on Ford’s global “B” platform, shared with the Mazda2, and in Canada it will be available in four-door sedan or fivedoor hatchback layout. Up front, Fiesta sports the global Ford face, centering the Blue Oval badge above a signature style inverted trapezoid lower grille opening. There’s little variance from the European model—the same elongated headlamps frame the hood, bracketed by muscular, sculpted front fenders. A rising See Fiesta B2

THE 2011 FORD FIESTA offers 15 class-exclusive technologies, including a four-inch multifunctional display, SYNC voice-activated connectivity, seven standard airbags and a fuel-efficient four cylinder engine. It will be available at Canadian dealers this summer as a four-door sedan and five-door hatchback.

Fiesta shares many features with its European cousin Fiesta from B1 beltline and strong character lines sweep back to the

rear taillamps, most dramatically accented on the spoilered five-door hatchback version.

Fiesta’s youthful verve is enhanced by nine vivid new colours from Bright Magenta to Lime Squeeze

and Blue Flame, to name just a few. The Fiesta shares a 60 per cent commonality

with its European cousin, but yes, there are subtle differences. The Ford family tri-bar upper grille,

added to the North American Fiesta, finds its roots in Fusion’s success while adjusted bumpers, meeting higher impact-point rules for North America, created an opportunity to accent larger side marker slots with LED strips taken from the Taurus. There are still some cultural differences to be taken into account, as well. European drivers, for example, prefer the precision of rotary dials for seat recline and height adjustment whereas North Americans lean towards levers. But inside, you’ll find more similarities than differences. The interior is boldly sculpted with contrasting colours and accented by Ford’s funky available ambient lighting, an illumination system that sets the mood with a choice of seven colours. And the Fiesta is quiet, with the kind of NVHrobbing attention to insulation you’d expect in a more expensive car. The instrument panel centre stack, a focal point of the Fiesta interior, was designed to feel as familiar as the keypad on your mobile phone, and its Tranformer-reminiscent layout will no doubt resonate and raise a giggle from next gen drivers. Rear seating requires compromise from the

front row occupants but, this is a small car, after all, and it is as comfortable as its size allows. The first-row buckets and 60/40 split secondrow come in cloth or leather with front heated surfaces available in both textures. Under the hood, a 1.6-litre DOHC I-4 engine makes 120 hp at 6,350 rpm and 112 lb/ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) allowed the engine to be downsized for fuel economy without compromise of throttle response or performance. The Fiesta held its own on the streets of San Francisco or cruising the Pacific Coast Highway. Like most small engines, it makes the most of its power through proper gearing, in this case harnessing either a five-speed manual or a new, industry-exclusive PowerShift six-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission ($1,250). Ford boasts an early projected 40 mpg highway average but Transport Canada has returned even more optimistic numbers (see below). I managed only a dismal 8.7L/100km. Well, not that dismal, really, because I was flogging the See Fiesta B3

THE 2011 FIESTA comes with Electric Power Assist

Steering (EPAS), an advanced system that can compensate for uneven road conditions, crosswinds, or even for a slight tire imbalance.

Power assist steering Ford complements the 2011 Fiesta’s sporty tuned suspension with Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS), an electric system that saves weight, parasitic drag on the engine and fuel. This advanced system is not only speed-sensitive, varying its assist levels from parking maneuvering to highway cruising, electric steering also allows engineers to program the steering motor for different driving and dynamic conditions. EPAS includes Pull-Drift Compensation to help Fiesta track true regardless of ruts, road crown or crosswind conditions. In addition, its Active Nibble cancellation can even compensate for tire balance irregularity. Both features are class-exclusive and unexpected at this entry-level, but Ford is aggressively moving to EPAS across its product lineup. The Ford Mustang is next in line to receive EPAS and by 2013 nearly 90 per cent of Ford and Lincoln’s lineup will offer this fuel saving technology.

However, many drivers don’t know how to properly approach a trafﬁc circle in their neighbourhood. Here is a step by step guide to the common trafﬁc circle:

• If another vehicle arrives at the trafﬁc circle at the same time as you do, you must yield to the car on your right. If you are on the right… you may enter if it’s safe!

Before entering a trafﬁc circle

• Travel around the trafﬁc circle to the right (counter clockwise direction) – never enter to the left of a trafﬁc circle!

• Slow down as you approach the circle. • Obey the posted signs (generally a yield sign). If a sign isn’t seen, treat the trafﬁc

right of way, it is best to yield to the other driver to be safe. This creates less road rage! The biggest misconception around traffic circles is that the traffic just gets to “flow through” without any rules. In fact, a traffic circle is very similar to a four-way intersection where the vehicles on the right have the right of way when arriving at the same time. Many times you do have to stop; sometimes you don’t. However, you do need to be aware of the process ahead of time to keep this type of intersection a safe one!

And while power hardtop/convertibles have become more prevalent, the MX-5 version takes up zero trunk space. What makes it so amazing is that the rear deck is only 20 mm taller than the soft topâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the hardtop assembly adds just 36 kg in overall weight, thus having a negligible effect on

To this day no other car Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve driven got that level of warm reception. Properly called the Mazda MX-5 these days (Miata being dropped

three years ago), when the Miata bowed it was inexpensive to operate as well as drive and proved an instant hit. Many of you will remember when the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;sports carâ&#x20AC;? was synonymous with British makes like MG, Triumph and Austin Healey. Somewhere along the line, the English lost the concept of quality and, with emissions laws; their hegemony simply petered out. Then Mazda came up with the Miata, and instantly, it was on its way to becoming the most popular and largest selling sportscar in history. Wisely, Mazda has not strayed far from the core

concept but has constantly kept refining and up-

grading, much as Porsche has done with the 911.

Three years ago, Mazda took the MX-5 Miata

MOTORING

▼ MAZDA

‘Jinba Ittai’ philosophy behind muscular MX-5 MX-5 from B5 used in the original design and it has not been changed even though there is no part carried over from the last generation Miata (in 2005) to the current third generation of the car that bowed as a 2008 model. At the same time, Mazda engineers used a “gram strategy” to keep the Miata as light as possible. An example is the rearview mirror that was reduced in weight by 84 grams. This gram strategy was applied to every part in the car. The concept and execution of the Miata was, and is, simple. Use a central spine/chassis, place the engine in front, the drive in the rear and two seats in between and keep the whole package as light as possible for sharp handling. The shape of the MX-5 has not been trifled with. The MX-5 is still a joy to drive and is as pointable as ever. The front and rear tracks however are wider than the previous generation and that translates into increased stability. The body stiffness is improved by 47 per cent and that means the suspension has to do the work, which

you want in a roadster. Motive power is a 2.0-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder putting out 167 hp and 140 lb/ft of torque on premium gasoline. Fuel consumption is listed at 9.7L/100 km city and 7.1L/100 km highway which makes the price of premium a little easier to take. For 2010, there are three trim choices starting with the base GX model priced at $28,995. The mid-range GS starts at $33,495 while the $39,995 GT is more luxury equipped. Both the GS and GT offer a sixspeed manual or optional six-speed automatic with sequential mode. On the GT paddle shifters are mounted on the steering wheel. The GX comes standard with a five-speed manual with the six-speed automatic offered as an option. Both the GS and GT have 17-inch wheels, the GX being fitted with 16-inchers. ABS is now standard on all models. Step up to the GS and GT and traction control and dynamic stability control are standard. Go with the manual transmission on the GS and GT and that adds

a limited slip differential and the sports suspension that includes Bilstein shocks. Tested here is the GT (no options) in a marvelous midnight metallic blue and with the slick sixspeed and sports suspension. The throws on the manual are very short, almost like a joystick. The GT seats are heated leather and a premium Bose sound system is acoustically mapped to the interior whether the top is up or down. Bluetooth connectivity is also standard on the GT. Besides being a blast to drive, the MX-5 Miata has always been quite civilized right from the start. With unseasonably high temperatures for April, the MX-5 came along at the perfect time for a ride out into the country with its winding roads and trees just starting to put out leaves. During the day, with the top down, it’s a glorious place to be. The little windbreak between the seats really does work giving you just enough buffeting to tussle your hair which, to me, is one of the best parts of driving a convertible. But I was sure glad

The other thing that the MX-5 supplies is reliability. Most people today don’t remember what it was like to struggle with a flimsy canvas top that had

to be stretched over rickety frames and leaked like a sieve along with sliding plastic windows (windups not being normally available) that usually became opaque within a year. Don’t let them tell about the glories of owning a mid-20th century British sports car. With the MX-5, you just turn the key and motor off. Besides keeping to the regular maintenance schedule, that’s about it.

The GT is so well equipped that it is very close to being a luxury car in everything but price. Regardless of which MX-5 you chose, it’s a rewarding car you can fling around and enjoy because it’s got just enough power to have fun, but not enough to get you into trouble. And with that retractable hardtop, it now offers the kind of fun you can have in any season.
