MIXED DOUBLES tennis action at Lake Country courts. Getting a work out on an perfect Okanagan spring day were (left to right) Bonnie Ayriss, Tony Ven Leest, Margarate Ven Leest and Ben Johnson.

These warm spring days in Lake Country are the perfect time to im-prove your tennis game.

The Lake Country Tennis Club is back in full swing at the Pack-inghouse Park courts at the east end of Woodsdale Road.

The public courts are open every day to every-one, but the purpose of the club is to give you a chance to play against club members and im-prove your game.

The club meets Fri-day evenings, from 6 to 9 p.m., and Sunday mor-nings, from 9 to 11 a.m. Drop in to meet people who enjoy playing the game.

Wednesday evenings are on the schedule for club members who also host local tennis tourna-ments.

Membership dues are $25 a season for adults

and that gets members access to the member-ship list to set up games in advance. Dues also help pay for the organiz-ation of tournaments.

Tennis is a sport that can be played by a sur-prisingly wide range of ages and skill sets. Cur-rent player ages at the club range from early teens to 80s.

Doubles tennis is a so-cial sport without the de-mands on the body if singles tennis. Doubles lends itself to strategy and the benefi ts of a well placed shot.

Ben Johnson is the club president this year and he hopes to see more people come out to try the sport or pick up a racquet to improve their game. “We are a very welcoming club,” he said.

“Tennis is such a great game for people to get out and enjoy. Just play-

ing the game is how you get better. Once you have a few times on the court you will fi nd the

game comes back to you if you played once. It is a great game to learn for the fi rst time too.”

If you are interested in trying out tennis or re-joining the sport, simply show up at the courts on

a tennis night. To learn more, call

Ben Johnson at 250-766-0318.

Alberto De Feo, chief administrative offi cer for the District of Lake Country, was named president of the Lo-cal Government Man-agement Association of B.C. at its annual con-ference held in Victoria May 15 through 17.

The association is a non-profi t organization dedicated to promot-ing professional manage-ment and leadership ex-cellence in local govern-ment. It is the vision of the association to set the North American stan-dard for excellence in lo-cal government manage-ment.

“The LGMA pro-vides timely and for-ward-thinking educa-tional programs for local government profes-sionals that encourage fellowship and network-ing,” said De Feo.

“The theme of this year’s annual association conference was Results through Relationships and since Lake Coun-try is the fastest growing municipality in the Cen-tral Okanagan, I believe relationships with com-munity members, busi-nesses, organizations, in-vestors, other municipal-ities, regions and senior levels of government are

crucial to the kind of positive results we want to see in our commun-ity and throughout the province of B.C.”

De Feo has been em-ployed in British Col-umbia’s local government since 1995. His career in local government began in Italy in 1987 where he was city manager.

After moving to Brit-ish Columbia, he worked as deputy municipal clerk for the Corpora-tion of Delta. He then joined the District of Pitt Meadows in 1997 as dir-ector of administrative services.

In 1999, De Feo was

corporate offi cer for the Township of Langley and in 2003 he became the chief administra-tive offi cer of the City of Williams Lake.

De Feo has received a doctorate in jurispru-dence at the Univer-sity of Camerino, School of Law and a degree in physics.

“I love my job and I have passion for what I do and the community I serve and live in,” he said in a statement.

“I believe that my var-iety of experiences has provided me with good common sense and de-cent business practices.

“I have to say that, in all honesty, working for local government is not for the faint of heart. You have to keep motivated all the time.

“The association has a membership of ap-proximately 1,000 from all municipalities and regional districts in B.C.,” he continued.

“That provides a great network of col-leagues and relation-ships that help local gov-ernment offi cials to con-tinue to hone leadership skills and build expertise towards developing and implementing an inte-grated approach to eco-

nomic, social, environ-mental and infrastruc-ture issues.”

Lake Country May-or James Baker, coun-cil and district staff con-gratulated De Feo on his new role with the asso-ciation.

The Local Govern-ment Management As-sociation is a leader in promoting continuing education, profession-al development as well as fostering relationships among municipal ad-ministrators around the globe, as demonstrated through its internation-al oversees exchange pro-gram.

A Lake Country man lost his home, cash and guns May 24 to the Crown when he was convicted of growing marijuana.

Rodney Jame Yax, 47, was convicted of multi-ple counts of possession of a controlled substance and production of a con-trolled substance in re-lation to a pair of grow operations the Lake Country RCMP busted in 2009.

Yax was handed down a one year conditional sentence order with hou-se arrest and a 10-year ri-rearms prohibition.

He was also ordered to forfeit 10 fi rearms and about $15,000 in cash that police seized in the

raid as well as his Forest Hill Drive property and 30 per cent of his Pretty Road property.

According to the Crown, when they are given an interest in a property by the court, they may take steps to sell the property to reali-ze that interest after the appeal period expires.

Yax is to remain on electronic monitoring until the expiry of his conditional sentence or-der.

SPEEDER LOSES TRUCKA 27 year old Si-

camous man lost his truck to the impound lot while taking his two young children to see their mother on May 13.

Shortly after 1 p.m., a member of the Cen-tral Okanagan Traffi c Services spotted a black Ford F350 traveling at well over the post-ed speed limit north-bound on Highway 97 near Duck Lake. The member watched as the truck, without slowing, passed another police of-fi cer engaged in a road-side vehicle stop.

When the driver was stopped near Common-wealth Road, the offi cer noticed an odour of li-quor and made a road-side breath demand.

The man refused to provide a sample.

The man’s two chil-dren, aged one and two years old, were picked up

by their mother.The driver was issued

a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition from driving, a 30-day impound, and violation tickets for speeding, fail-ing to slow down for an emergency vehicle and failing to produce his driver’s licence.

So as not to leave the man stranded on the highway, the police offi -cer transported him back to Kelowna to wait for his ride.

SPEEDERS TARGETTEDOn the afternoon of

May 17, Central Oka-nagan Traffi c Services and the Kelowna Inte-grated Road Safety Unit conducted a joint en-

forcement project tar-geting excessive speeders heading eastbound into Kelowna along Highway 97C near Brenda Mine.

The operation was fi ve hours in length and resulted in 43 violation tickets for speeders trav-eling more than 20 km/h over the posted speed-limit of 110 km/h.

The highest speed was 195 km/h by a driver who resides outside the Kelowna area. That driv-er received a $483 tick-et for excessive speed and his vehicle was im-pounded for seven days.

Speed can be decep-tive. Although it may ap-pear to the driver that you are “in control” of your vehicle, your reac-

tion time will remain the same at any speed. Phys-ics dictates that the faster you’re going, the longer it will take you to stop.

TAKING THE BAITThree young men are

in custody after being caught in a stolen bait vehicle on of May 24.

Just before 5 a.m., the Kelowna RCMP re-ceived notifi cation of a bait vehicle activation in the Rutland area. Po-lice attempted to stop the vehicle on Spring-fi eld Road near Dilworth Drive but the driver re-fused to stop. Police sub-sequently deactivated the vehicle and it was safe-ly stopped near Burtch Road on Springfi eld

Road. Two Kelowna teen-

age boys, aged 15 and 16, and an 18-year-old West Kelowna man were taken into custody with-out incident.

A search of the vehicle revealed tools consistent with auto theft as well as several weapons.

Police will be recom-mending a number of charges against the three including theft of a mo-tor vehicle, possession of stolen property and pos-session of break-in in-struments.

The West Kelowna man also faces potential charges of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and failure to comply with probation.

A fl aming approach to gardening put a Lake Country resort in per-il Friday afternoon, prompting fi re offi cials to issue a warning.

“Using tiger torches to kill weeds is not the cor-rect method,” said Aaron Weller, assistant chief of the Lake Country Fire Department, noting area fi re departments have al-ready responded to sev-eral similar calls in recent weeks.

In this case, Lake Country was called to the Holiday Park Resort just after 1 p.m., when a resident’s attempt to gar-den with fi re went awry.

Flames from his weeding torch spread to the cedar bushes next to his RV, then jumped onto a nearby trailer, rip-ping through much of its back end. Two others were slightly singed as fl ames, whipped around.

Ultimately the dam-age was minimal, consid-ering the amount of fuel the fl ames had to work with, and that’s in large part because of the inter-vention of neighbours.

According to the re-sort’s general manager, the men and women liv-ing in the area immedi-ately stepped up to the plate and worked to limit the fi re’s reach.

“It was spreading re-ally quickly,” said Don Culic, who saw plumes of smoke rising from his offi ce at the gate house,

To the editor:I would like to send a

response to the May 23 letter to the editor: Hu-man Activity Takes An-other of Mother Natures’ Creatures (May 23, Lake Country Calendar).

I do believe in second chances, and also agree that the feeling of know-ing you tried is a feeling you will have forever.

Late last fall, I came across a beautiful bird in-jured in the middle of the road and had this overwhelming feeling that this bird deserves a second chance.

So I scooped up this magnifi cent bird, got it home and thought fi rst thing to do is call a local vet clinic.

But to my surprise, no clinic in a 100-mile ra-dius of me was willing to give me any medical ad-vise and advised me to return the bird and let nature take its course.

My response was that it wasn’t nature that caused this infl iction, but human ignorance.

So, after a long frus-

trating day, the conclu-sion was because it was not a “predatory bird” it did not deserve a second chance.

I believe a beautiful, large male pheasant de-serves to be treated the way any owl or hawk is.

So I Googled and I Googled, determining that it had some major wing issues disabling it even to walk.

With support of the Lake Country pet store donating the food and any advice he could offer, I cleaned, splinted and wrapped its wing.

After the remain-ing winter months un-til the early spring I fi g-ured it would have a bet-ter fi ghting chance back in the wild without the worry of the elements and happily sent this beautiful bird back on its way.

In my heart knowing that I was its only chance for a second chance is unbelievably gratifying.

Giving injured animal a second chance

▼ NATURE

W ith ongoing pipeline and oil tank-

er skirmishes, and a hot summer for mining and logging still to come, the green war in B.C. shows no signs of slow-ing down.

Things are already hot in the Fraser Valley where the federal gov-ernment’s change to the defi nition of fi sh habitat has opened a new front on the farms.

Farmers briefl y got into the public discus-sion by hauling a couple of cute calves into down-town Vancouver and sta-ging a television-friendly demo in front of the fed-eral fi sheries offi ce. They have been saying for dec-ades that imposing sal-mon stream regula-tions on drainage ditches around their fi elds is im-practical.

Fraser Valley Con-servative MPs Randy Kamp and Mark Strahl even had the nerve to meet with local mayors to hear their con-cerns about B.C.’s most productive farmland,

without inviting self-ap-pointed “activists.”

Arrayed against them is an environmental lob-by whose deep green wing was defi ned by Marvin Rosenau, a for-mer provincial biologist who now teaches “fi sh, wildlife and recreation technology” at BCIT.

“Mark Strahl is lead-ing the charge of eco-fascists intent on mak-ing the last dime off the backs of the last rem-nants of an absolutely spectacular ecosystem,” Rosenau told the Chil-liwack Progress. “A massive and product-ive fl oodplain of fi sh and aquatic values…has

been drained, ditched, tiled and laser-leveled for agricultural profi t.”

The same could be said for the broad fi elds of Richmond and Pitt Polder farms north of the Fraser, a wetland diked and drained by Dutch settlers after the Second World War.

Farms are “industrial-izing the landscape,” said Rosenau, who stopped short of calling for them all to be shut down.

At the provincial level we have a new Ani-mal Health Act, which threatens heavy fi nes or even jail time for pre-maturely leaking reports of serious animal disease outbreaks. This was also portrayed as a jack-boot-ed sellout of the public’s right to know, putting the business interests of land and ocean farms ahead of public safety.

Here’s what’s real-ly happening. As is gen-erally the case with meat inspection and live-stock issues, the feder-al government is impos-ing rules on provinces in the wake of avian

fl u and “mad cow” out-breaks. Canadian beef was banned in 30 coun-tries after a single in-fected cow was identifi ed in Alberta in 2003.

B.C. Agriculture Minister Don McRae assures me this legisla-tion will not result in re-porters or environmental activists being thrown in jail for telling the public about sick animals.

They and the farm-ers themselves can say all they want, once infec-tions are confi rmed and quarantines established.

McRae and Paul Kitching, B.C.’s chief veterinarian, pleaded for the public to understand that any farm reporting system must rely on vol-untary compliance by farmers.

When the B.C. gov-ernment took the advice of B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and began releasing fi sh farm inspection data in 2010, the operators stopped providing samples volun-tarily. The fi sh farmers’ position was that you can

have a co-operative sys-tem of farm inspections or one that’s imposed, but not both.

Imposing inspections on land farms across B.C.’s vast area is even less practical. Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein famously observed that the next rancher to fi nd a possible mad cow should have “shot, shov-eled and shut up” rath-er than fi le a report and devastate the industry.

Denham, the NDP and others appear to operate under an as-sumption that there should be suffi cient gov-ernment resources to sample and inspect every farm across B.C. for re-portable contagious ill-nesses.

This is similar to the fashionable notion that we should have enough park rangers to guard every cedar tree.

Our grandson Stephen had an epiphany

the other day. For his ap-proximate fi fth birth-day—the Ethiopian vil-lage he came from was less than rigorous about recording birthdates—we took both grandchil-dren out for dinner.

As we waited for des-sert to arrive, his older sister Katherine started playing games on grand-ma’s iPhone. The magic of a touch screen trans-ported her, almost in-stantly, into a world of her own.

Her brother Stephen felt left out, excluded. He wanted his turn with the iPhone. Katherine paid no attention to him. His normally cheerful face took on a scowl.

“I’m starting to feel angry,” he declared.

An angry Stephen is not a joy to have around. Especially in a pub-lic place. He tends to lash out physically. Or to throw an embarrass-ing tantrum. His mother

could have scolded him for feeling angry. With great wisdom, she didn’t. “That’s wonderful,” she praised him. “When you recognize that you’re starting to feel angry, you can do something about it.”

For him, it’s an epiph-any, an insight that will eventually change his life. Unfortunately, many people—including many so-called adults—have never learned that they are more than their feelings. When a feel-ing surges within them, they’re incapable of not acting on it. Lust be-

comes its own justifi ca-tion for rape; greed, for fraud; anger, for physic-al violence because they have never learned to stand back, to identify their emotions without surrendering to them.

There’s nothing wrong with anger—even if Pope Greg-ory the Great did call it one of the Seven Dead-ly Sins. Without anger, there would be no justice movements. No rebel-lions against tyranny. No struggles to change op-pressive systems.

Anger is a powerful motivator, when chan-neled into constructive purposes.

That’s what young Stephen can now start to do. His epiphany hasn’t turned his life around, of course. He’s much too young, still, for any single insight to shift his en-tire perspective. But the other day, he identifi ed another emotion: “I’m bored!”

Good for him! Epiph-anies take time. But you

have to start somewhere. According to the

Bible, Jesus had an epiphany when John the Baptist plunged him into the Jordan River. It took him 40 days on his own in the wilderness to fi g-ure out what that epiph-any meant for his life.

Another young Jew, a Pharisee named Saul, had an epiphany on a road somewhere near Damascus. It left him unable to see where he was going. It took an-other 14 years before he

hit his stride as the man who introduced Christi-anity to Europe.

My own epiphan-ies, I must confess, tend to come more as a real-ization of something I should not have done, or should not have said.

Sometimes the learn-ing lasts. And sometimes I have to learn pain-ful lessons over and over again. The way that I’m sure our grandson Ste-phen will have to learn about channeling his emotions constructively.

Epiphanies take time to change lives

Life and FaithJim Taylor

One of the myths that continual-ly swirl around

the Internet is that it is more advantageous to be a refugee than a pension-er in Canada because the monthly entitlement for single refugees under the Refugee Assistance Pro-gram (RAP) is $1,890. This information is in-correct.

Citizenship and Im-migration Canada does not provide fi nancial as-sistance to refugee claim-ants who enter Canada seeking protection.

Financial assistance under the RAP is lim-ited to a small number of government-assisted refugees who enter Can-ada as permanent resi-dents and are not en-titled to income support under provincial social assistance programs.

For these individ-uals, a one-time start-up amount of $1,830 is allowed followed by a monthly allowance for no more than one year, or until he or she be-comes self-suffi cient, whichever comes fi rst.

Misinformation about refugees and new im-migrants also states that these individuals can qualify for OAS with as little as two years resi-

dency. Again this is in-correct. In order to qual-ify for OAS, there is a 10 year residency require-ment after age 18. If this is met, eligible Can-adians can start receiv-ing the lifelong, public-ly- funded benefi t at age 65, or 67 when the OAS changes take place be-ginning in 2023.

More recently, pro-posed changes to health care for refugees under Bill C-31 has also gener-ated misinformation, in-cluding claims that the changes are dangerous or unethical.

There is no change in Interim Federal Health coverage for treatments affecting public health and public safety.

Treatment, includ-ing prescription medi-cations, will continue to be provided to all refugee claimants for infectious diseases such as tuber-culosis and HIV and for other medications ne-cessary to protect public health and safety, such as anti-psychotic drugs.

Nor is there any change to primary health care for the vast ma-jority of refugee claim-ants, who will continue to have access to the full range of basic doc-tor and hospital servi-

ces that all Canadians re-ceive through their prov-incial health care system, including treatment for chronic disease. Import-antly, all refugee claim-ants are provided, free of charge, an Immigration Medical Exam, which screens claimants for dis-ease and provides the preventative health care that critics claim is be-ing lost.

And, of course, as soon as a refugee claim-ant is found to be a genuine refugee, he or she has access to the full benefi ts of the provincial health care system.

What is changing is that bogus asylum seek-ers, including those whose claims have been rejected but who refuse to leave Canada, will no longer receive, at tax-payer expense, enhanced health services such as

eye and dental cover-age that are unavailable to many ordinary Can-adians.

Nor will “asylum seek-ers” from safe countries, such as the liberal dem-ocracies of the European Union or the United States, continue to re-ceive the full range of basic and supplement-al health care coverage, though they will still re-ceive urgent or essential medical care, including hospital treatment and any prescription drugs and treatment necessary to address a public health or safety risk, such as an infectious disease.

These changes go hand in hand with the introduction of reforms to speed up the process-ing of asylum claims from safe countries, meaning that these asy-lum seekers will have their claims heard in a matter of weeks, rather than years, as is current-ly the case. Health cover-age for these claimants is, therefore, only a short interim measure.

These are reason-able, measured changes to stop the abuse of Can-ada’s generous and over-burdened health care system by bogus asylum claimants and especial-

ly by those that have al-ready been rejected by our fair and independent refugee determination system but who refuse to return home, preferring to enjoy generous welfare and health care benefi ts that even honest, hard-working Canadians do not receive.

As with all of the above, I encourage con-stituents to be cautious about believing bad news and conspiracy theories without obtaining more information.

Fear mongering re-mains an effective way of swaying public opinion, even more so in the age of the Internet because it spreads so fast.

The good news is the Internet also makes it easier to be fully in-formed. Access to infor-mation about the Gov-ernment of Canada and Parliament is available at www.gc.ca and www.parl.gc.ca.

Addressing misleading info about refugees, immigration

Ron Cannan

To the editor:At the same time that

the Department of Na-tional Defense admitted that the numbers of sui-cide incidents in the Ca-nadian Forces have ris-en, how is it possible that the department is elimi-nating the jobs of medi-cal professionals involved in suicide prevention and monitoring of post-trau-matic stress disorders?

They are actually re-ducing the number of epidemiologists and re-searchers who analyze mental health issues.

This government has previously asserted that dealing with such health issues is a priority. How can the government an-nounce on the one hand that it appreciates the sacrifi ces made by our veterans and then turn around and cut the ser-vices and research efforts needed to treat those same men and women, at a time when they need it most?

The Royal Canadi-an Legion is extreme-ly concerned with this move, especially with the increase of suicide in-

cidents in the Canadi-an Forces. The full extent of the cases of mental ill-ness, arising from the heavy operational tempo in the Balkans and Af-ghanistan, has not likely been felt yet.

The government and Canadians have sent these men and wom-en to serve in these mis-sions abroad and there-fore have a moral obli-gation to ensure they are properly cared for once they return. Without op-erational research in this area, Canada will have to resort to reactive treat-ment while abandoning proactive education and prevention of mental ill-ness to our troops.

It is unacceptable that these cuts been made on the backs of our most vulnerable and mental-ly ill soldiers, sailors, air-men and airwomen. They could demonstrate their support for the men and women who serve our country by not mak-ing these cuts.

The date of June 2, 2012, marks the 100th anniversary of the Elli-son Community Hall.

Public education in the Ellison District began in 1894 in an up-stairs room in the Chris-tien house, moving to a new school house in 1895.

As the Ellison popula-tion grew, a larger school was built in 1912. This school, now the Ellison Community Hall, pro-vided many generations of students with a sound education.

On June 2, the pub-lic is invited to a var-iety of events, includ-ing a heritage classroom historical photo display, children’s art display, fi re hall, fi re safety house, vintage vehicles and a display of the 75th an-niversary time capsule’s contents, buried in 1987

and unearthed on April 12, along with a DVD presentation of the un-

earthing. There will be a pan-

cake breakfast from 8:30

to 11:30 a.m. and open-ing ceremonies at 10 a.m. with present and

former residents, stu-dents and teachers in at-tendance.

Growers willing to in-vest in replanting their orchards to new var-ieties of more marketable apples have $2 million from the province over the next three years to help them with the cost.

B.C.’s Agriculture Minister Don McRae was in the Okanagan last Wednesday to make the announcement, standing among the young apple trees in Steve Day’s Ke-lowna orchard, fl anked by all three local MLAs and Richmond-Steves-ton MLA John Yap.

While McRae ad-mitted that he didn’t even know what replant meant when he took on his current cabinet post, he said as a history teacher he realizes that orcharding is an import-ant industry in the prov-ince’s heritage.

“Replanting would benefi t the whole re-gion,” he noted, help-ing the industry grow their markets across the country.

Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart said the industry is facing fi ercer competition than ever before, and it needs to address that. The re-plant program is a start-ing point to meet that challenge, he said.

It’s a commitment in the agriculture sector and should help the Oka-nagan maintain its repu-tation for growing great apples, added Okanag-an-Mission MLA Steve Thomson.

Although the assist-ance will help growers, Kirpal Boparai, a Ke-lowna orchardist and president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Associa-tion, was blunt about the importance of this three-year funding being con-tinued beyond that time frame.

“We grow the best

fruit in the world, par-ticularly Ambrosia and Gala apples, thanks in part to Mother Nature,” he commented. He noted that the industry is not only important on its own, but also to the val-ley’s tourism industry.

He estimated it costs in the neighbourhood of $20,000 an acre for growers to replant to high-density apple trees, plus the farmer’s own labour, and this funding will only help with a por-tion of those costs.

A survey of grow-ers completed this spring indicated orchardists are committed to stay in the industry if replant fund-ing is available, so he said the industry really appre-ciates the support. There has been a replant assist-ance program available in the past, but it ended last year.

The program fl ows from the ministry’s Agri-foods Strategy. Its goal is to expand domestic mar-kets through high-qual-ity products by targeting premium varieties such as Ambrosia and red strains of Gala apples, said McRae. The pro-gram includes a grafting and budding compon-ent which helps to get new trees into produc-tion faster.

It will be adminis-tered by the BCFGA, which also administered the previous program, in partnership with the In-vestment Agriculture Foundation.

Applications will be reviewed by a panel and will be more directed than the previous pro-gram, to ensure the best varieties are grown in the best locations.

A cost overrun isn’t stopping a project that will take Oyama resi-dents off a boil water alert.

Lake Country coun-cil agreed earlier this month to amend the budget for the Kala-malka Lake intercon-nect project by $460,000. That move was neces-sary after the original-ly expected $5-million budget fell short.

“The passing of this addition to the project budget shows the will-ingness of the coun-cil to work together for the benefi t of our entire community and is a tes-tament to the ward sys-tem of local govern-ment,” said Coun. Owen Dickie.

There are a number of reasons for the overrun including some chan-ges to the work and that the budget was drawn up three years ago and the

only tender was higher than projected.

“The project was esti-mated at $5 million in-stead of $5.4 million,” said Mayor James Baker.

“We want to do it in-stead of deferring it to another time.”

Once completed in about a year, the pro-ject will provide ultra-violet treatment, a boost-er station to interconnect the Kalamalka Lake and Oyama Lake sources and an Oyama Lake source reservoir.

“By the end of March 2013, the long stand-ing boil water advisory on the Wood Lake water system will be lifted,” said Dickie.

“While many resi-dents certainly feel it has been too long in com-ing, there has been a sig-nifi cant amount of work

done in preparation for this project, including a new bridge to access the site as well as numerous approvals from regula-tory bodies such as the department of fi sheries,” Dickie said.

Baker was also pleased to see the project pro-ceed. “The reservoir will provide more water and better water for more users,” he said.

“The boil water (alert) has been a constant irri-tation for the people who live there. The water is not unhealthy but the turbidity does not meet the regulations the Inter-ior Health Authority has changed.”

Council has awarded a $3.9-million contract for construction to Grey-back Construction.

Richard Rolke is a Black Press reporter at the Vernon Morning Star.

THE LAKE COUNTRY Chamber of Commerce held its annual golf tournament May 23, host-ed by Aspen Grove golf course owner Tom Stanbrook and general manager Mario Delosada. Golfers (clock-wise from above) who took to the links: Lee-Ann Davenport and her friend Dayelee Woodrick prepare to set off; Scott Jennings with TD Canada Trust was in a three-some with Chamber director Garth Donhauser and Chamber past-president Bill Clark; Colby Kramer from Investors Group manned the table at hole #1 which IG sponsored. The Chamber’s next event will be hosted at Wood Lake Resort and Marina on June 13.

The Lake Country Farmer’s Market is re-turning Friday, June 1.

It will have hours of operation from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will be held in the Arena parking lot on Bottom Wood Lake Road.

The Farmer’s Market will call the Arena home

until the paving at Swal-well Park is complete and the market can move back to its traditional lo-cation.

More than 20 vendors are expected for the fi rst market of the season. More vendors are ex-pected to arrive through-

out the summer as the produce comes in from the local fi elds.

Community sup-port is vital to the Farm-er’s Market and the mar-ket’s board of manage-ment would like to show their appreciation to those who have attended

in past years. A custom-er appreciation day has been planned for Aug. 11 when there will be something special for all ages.

“We want people to know that we appreciate them and will be doing something to show that,”

says Robin Burke, who is organizing the market this year.

“That Day is going to be called Early Harvest.”

The May long week-end afforded the Old-timers teams a week off

from league competition but the Kelowna Mens and Womens leagues

continued for the Lake Country Soccer Club.

Mens division one

team, LCSC Woody’s Pub, tied one and lost two of their last three games which slipped them down the stand-ings to sixth spot.

The LCSC Athletics picked up their fi rst win of the season but two losses sees them mired at the foot of the table in 10th place of the di-vision.

A win and two loss-es saw the LCSC Old Milwaukees drop to sev-enth place in division 3A but a 6-0 victory over Brewsers in the Royal Cup sends them through to the third round of the Cup Competition.

And fi nally, the LCSC United team had a win, a draw and a loss in division 3B which moved them up to fi fth place, just six points out of second.

In the Kelowna Wo-

mens Soccer League 2nd division, the LCSC Vi-per Lightning team’s struggles continued as they dropped three straight games and now sit in ninth place.

It was a diffi cult week for the Lake Coun-try Soccer Club as they learned of the sudden passing of former play-er Gareth Poole. He was a member of the Over 35 mens team and played a pivotal role in the 2007 championship winning squad.

On the fi eld, Poole was a fi erce competitor and highly talented mid-fi elder but off the fi eld, his loyalty to the club and hilarious, dry sense of humor made him un-forgettable to teammates and opponents alike.

He will be great-ly missed as a teammate and as a friend.

The NHL Players Association and Source For Sports are teaming up to give more young people an opportunity to play and enjoy Canada’s game.

The NHLPA Goals & Dreams Game-changer Award as-sists individual families who fi nd themselves in unique fi nancial situa-tions due to economic or social reasons such as job loss, divorce and more.

As the offi cial equip-ment supplier for this award, Source For Sports will fi t and supply the hockey gear for these de-serving applicants.

“No one should be left out of hockey because they can’t afford it,” says Greg Evtushevski, owner of Chevy’s Source For Sports in Kelowna. “We are very excited to part-ner with the NHLPA and help give back to people in our commun-ity and help all kids enjoy the game of hockey.”

Source For Sports will also assist with ful-fi lling regular NHLPA Goals & Dreams equip-ment grants, beyond those included as part of the NHLPA Game Changer Award Pro-

gram. NHLPA Goals &

Dreams assists volun-teer-based grassroots hockey programs that help economically dis-advantaged children play the great sport of hockey.

NHLPA members and Source For Sports share in the belief that more children should have the opportunity to play hockey, a sport that educates players in team-work, commitment, discipline and physic-al fi tness.

“We are excited to partner with Source for Sports to help even more children play the great game of hockey,” said Devin Smith, chairman of the NHLPA Goals & Dreams fund.

“This new partner-ship will provide chil-dren the joy of walking into a Source for Sports store to pick out brand new gear.”

The Lake Country Art Gallery has a brand new summer camp for Lake Country tweens and teens this summer.

The full day, week-long camp, Photo-graphing Lake Country, will focus on the basics of photography and as-sociated mediums with plenty of fi eld trips to test out and learn new skills.

Zev Tiefenbach, camp coordinator, specializes in events and program-ming in the arts com-munity. The North Oka-

nagan native will bring his experience as a pho-tographer and teacher to Lake Country.

Tiefenbach’s skills as a photographer inter-

sect with his passion for capturing the essence of where he is: “I’m inter-ested in photographing geographies, but I’ve found that facilitating processes that allows the local kids to photograph their own places brings me a lot closer to the im-ages that I’m most pas-sionate about.”

Tiefenbach brings a unique style to every camp and project he runs. Boundless enthusi-asm is combined with a practical approach that allows participants to de-velop a valuable and rel-evant skill set. As a pro-fessional photographer who draws deep satis-faction from his own

pursuits with a camera, Tiefenbach knows that every photographer must fi nd their own way in the world.

Topics at the camp will introduce partici-pants to Photoshop, digital manipulation, printmaking and creative writing.

Local artists will be a part of the program and work with participants to help them fi nd their cre-ative voice.

The Lake Country Art Gallery is pleased to be hosting the program.

“This is an exciting opportunity for young people to explore their community and share their vision with us in

the public domain,” said Petrina McNeill, man-ager of the Lake Coun-try Art Gallery.

The camp will cul-minate in a show-ing, with the collected works put on display at the FINA gallery on the UBCO campus.

This is the a fantas-tic opportunity for your child who is passionate about seeing the world through a lens.

The week-long camp is open for youth be-tween the ages of 8 and 14 and commences July 9. Camp hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Contact Zev Tiefenbach directly for more information at 778-883-2000.

Most people who want buy a new home have a home to sell. In today’s market, buyers can get such a good price on the buy side that they may be willing to take an offsetting adjustment on the sell side.

It is very important to remember that you cannot control the price that a buyer will pay for your home. The great news is that you may have somewhat more control over the price that you will pay for your newer home. You may get the newer home at a lesser amount which, in turn, may offset the monies you had hoped to receive when you originally listed your home.

The important point to remember is that the offsetting sale and purchase facilitated the transaction you were working to achieve! Today even the slightest rate hike could make it more difficult to qualify for the home price that you had originally wished for and/or were previously approved for. If there is a home out there that you can afford, in an area that you have wanted to live, you could very well have a fantastic opportunity within your reach!

We would love to buy a newer home but we have a house to sell. Is this a good time?Q Q I am really confused about my

medications. What can I do?

A AHow do I deal with a tick attached to my dog?

Ticks are efficient carriers of disease because they attach firmly when sucking blood, feed slowly and may go unnoticed for a

considerable time (days) while feeding. Ticks wait for host animals on the tips of grasses and shrubs; they are not commonly found in trees. When the plant is brushed by a moving animal or person, the tick quickly lets go of the vegetation and climbs onto the host. If you find a tick on your dog, use blunt tweezers or disposable gloves to handle the tick. Grasp the tick as close to the skin surface as possible. This reduces the possibility of the head detaching from the body upon removal. Pull the tick straight out with a steady, even pressure. Do not twist or jerk the tick as this may cause the mouthparts to break off and remain in the skin, increasing the chances of infection. Continue applying steady pressure even if the tick does not release immediately. It may take a minute or two of constant, slow pulling to cause the tick to release. After removing the tick, thoroughly disinfect the bite area and wash your hands with soap and water. Home remedies such as applying petroleum jelly or grease, or touching the rear of the tick with a hot match do not work effectively and are not recommended. These techniques cause the tick to salivate and can actually increase the chance of getting a disease.

Project Literacy is celebrating 25 years of resolving literacy issues.

Founded by commun-ity members who felt adults needed a place to improve their reading, writing and math skills, it’s grown from a tiny operation in the Laurel Packinghouse to a staple social support in the community.

“In general, we have two major groups. There are those who are up-grading in order to qual-ify for more education, and those who want to improve employment opportunities. And then there’s the third group who are working on English as another lan-guage,” Blair Lischeron, Project Literacy’s exec-utive director said in his Bernard Avenue offi ces.

Lischeron’s fi gures show more than 100 tu-tor-and-student pairings meet each month for les-sons.

Diana and Rod War-nock were among the founding directors—Diana acting as a tu-

tor and director—and both say those numbers show it’s light years from where it all began.

Operating on a shoe-string budget, cobbled together from small grants and donations, the clients were often tee-tered on the brink of horrifi c lives, struggling to survive without show-ing the world they could not read or write.

“One lady was from a Doukhobor family. I was in my forties at the time and she was al-ready 60-plus. Her par-ents had been jailed in the Kootenays and the kids were farmed out to foster homes within the community, so she never really got to go to school at all. When they tried to do something about that, she was 11 and they put her back in Grade 1. It was such a traumatic thing for her,” said Diana Warnock.

“She was probably the one who I really, real-ly got attached to. She was so smart and learn-ed so quickly and was just so excited to be able to read to her grandchil-dren. It just transformed

her life.”The move to create

a community-based lit-eracy organization was spearheaded by Maxine Veach, who was running a literacy service out of the Okanagan College.

“Particularly young men, by the time they reached 30, 35 years old, they would realize they couldn’t move for-ward, couldn’t apply for a higher job or be moved on unless they could do something about their reading,” said Warnock. “They were coming in so desperate and we were literally getting them off the street.”

Both the Warnocks and Veach had sons with learning diffi culties, so they felt a personal con-nection to the cause and worked very hard to fi nd scraps of funding to keep the project running.

It didn’t take long be-fore 30 to 40 tutors were involved.

Tutors at Project Lit-eracy are all volunteers who willingly to dedicate an average of four to fi ve hours per week to ensur-ing the students get the best education available.

“It’s just amazing. I can’t say enough about our tutors,” said Elaine Johnston, who has set up the tutor/learner pairings for over 10 years.

“We have tutors of every age and from every walk of life. It’s an in-credible place.”

Today, the program

also helps some younger clients, acting as a back-up for Central School students who have slipped from the main-stream school system, tu-toring them during the summer or after school.

The tutors typical-ly go above and beyond the call of duty, making

extraordinary the norm.Marianne Boctor, an

engineer from Egypt who has just returned to home for a visit, is tutor-ing her math students via Skype to ensure they don’t fall behind.

Jessi Mackenzie, 46, said her tutor, Bonnie Girourard, is helping her make a major life change that seemed impossible seem manageable as she studies for the Language Profi ciency Test. She needs the LPI in order to get into her program for sterilizing medical in-struments.

“It’s been 30 years since I was in school,” said Mackenzie, who worked in the hospitality industry.

“With all the texting and abbreviating and getting into bad habits, I just need to get back in the swing of things.”

There are payoffs for the tutors as well. Alex Carr, an English as an-other language and math tutor, has personal-ly helped two people get through math exams they couldn’t fathom passing prior to con-necting with the or-

ganization. One student will go

into education and the other into business.

“I get to meet people from all over the world and we get into the most interesting con-versations,” he said, not-ing he has met learners from Ghana, Fiji, Korea, China, Japan and India.

According to the Canadian Council on Learning, 48 per cent of the adult population in Canada is considered to have below-standard lit-eracy skills—and the fi g-ure is expected to grow.

Like most non-prof-its, Project Literacy is constantly looking for grants, donations and other sources of funding, so the organizers are also hoping to raise money by auctioning a painting done by Canadian artist Joyce Quillian. Her hus-band is a tutor.

The event is June 8 at the Laurel Packing-house in Kelowna from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $40 from Project Lit-eracy, 205-591 Bernard Ave, 250-762-2163, or at Mosiac Books on Ber-nard Ave.

TERRY FARQUHAR

CONTRIBUTOR

A common question dentists are asked is: “My child has bad breath. Why is that and what can we do about it?”

There are a number of causes for this.

To start with, humans are covered inside and out with bacteria.

There are 10 times more bacteria on, and in, each of us than we have cells in our body.

In fact, if our bodies were completely bacteria free, we would have very little scent at all.

That said, our mouth is no exception. Our mouths are host to an es-timated 600 species of bacteria, with about 100 million of the little fel-las in each milliliter of saliva.

There are more bac-teria in your mouth than people on this planet.

Most of these are

harmless and make up our individual “normal fl ora.”

These bacteria live on every surface in your mouth, not just your teeth.

Your cheeks, gums, tongue and other soft tis-sues make up 80 per cent of your oral surfaces, so if you think you’re getting rid of all of the bacteria in your mouth when you brush, you’re wrong.

Bad breath, although stemming from bacteria and the by-products they produce, can come via different mechanisms.

Some individuals have more of the bacteria that produce by-product sul-phur compounds, caus-ing them to have a “rot-ten eggs” scent to their breath.

Individuals with oral diseases, such as gum disease, tooth decay or oral ulcers, and those with poor oral hygiene habits can experience

a plethora of different scents depending on the offending bugs.

Alternatively, indi-viduals with large tonsils (tonsils have “crypts” that can trap food particles and bacteria) or chron-ic gastroesophageal re-fl ux can also experience funky breath.

As well, cultural food and spice choices can af-fect breath signifi cantly.

All of these issues af-fect children just as much as they do adults.

There are no magic bullets that will solve the breath problem for everyone, despite what you may see on late night infomercials.

The fi rst stop is oral hygiene. With regular brushing in the morning and at night, including daily fl ossing.

If you want to know if fl ossing helps, try it and then smell the fl oss!

If your kids can’t tie their own shoes or write

their own name, it’s your job to make sure their mouth gets clean, whether they like it or not.

When you are brush-ing, don’t forget their gums and tongue. A huge number of bacteria live on these surfaces.

Alcohol-free oral rinses can be helpful as well, with the brand you choose is a matter of per-sonal preference.

Rinses containing es-sential oils can be quite effective, however, for children it is best to stick with the child friend-ly versions and only if they’re old enough to swish and spit (5 to 6 years for age and up).

If these methods are not helping, it’s time to visit your dentist. Your dentist will be able to suggest possible causes, or recommend whether you may benefi t from a

medical assessment. Gastroesophageal

concerns can be a signifi -cant cause of breath ab-normalities.

All of the causes pre-viously mentioned af-fect children, and much of the time the cause is benign.

However, there is a possibility that your child has cavities or other oral health issues that may be contributing to the problem that you are not aware of. I recommend having your child seen by a dentist at one year of age to discuss oral health care issues and preven-tion, so that it is less like-

ly that you will be caught off guard by tooth decay.

If you wait until they are old enough to cooperate, it may be too late.

Terry Farquhar special-izes in pediatric dentistry with the Okanagan Den-tal Care for Kids.

CORBACH, Henry (Heinrich)

Passed away suddenly at Kelowna General Hospital on Sunday, May

20th, 2012. Henry was born in Göttingen, Germany on August

15th, 1926 and grew up on a farm with his grandparents in Reher, Germany. He fi rst immigrated to

Canada in 1952, where he worked as a painter. He briefl y returned to Germany at Christmas time in 1954 to marry his sweetheart, Inge and

together they took guardianship of Hilde, Inge’s younghalf-sister. They returned permanently to Canada, where

they eventually settled in Winfi eld, B.C. Henry was proud to purchase and farm on his own fruit orchard until his retirement in 1990. Over the years Henry enjoyed s

wimming in Okanagan Lake, hiking on SpionKopje, picnics with family and friends, riding his bike, playing chess and

reading. Henry was a quiet and refl ective man, dedicated to his work and family. He was much loved and his presence

will be missed dearly.Henry is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Inge

(Ingeborg); daughters Beate of Winfi eld, Ingrid (David) of North Vancouver and son Bernie (Mandy) of Peachland; grandchildren Rolfe, Sonya, Alexander, Devin, Mitchell,

Dustin and other relatives in Canada and Germany.A memorial service was held at Christ Lutheran Church at 2091 Gordon Drive, Kelowna on Saturday, May 26, 2012 at

11:00 am. In lieu of fl owers donations can be made to a charity of your choice. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfi eldfuneralhome.com,

250-860-7077.

SPROULE, NEVILLE WILLIAM 1922 -2012

It is with great sadness the family of Neville Sproule

wishes to announce that Neville passed away

May 18, 2012 Neville was born in Ireland in 1922 and his family immigrated to Canada in 1928. Neville had six brothers.In 1943 Irene and Neville were married and for ten years they operated the family orchard of

twenty acres. After that he devoted all his time to building

houses. The couple had fi ve children Brian (Sherrel), Lisle (Suzana), Colleen (Gordon) Graves, Sharon (Rockie) Saliken, and Kevin. Neville was predeceased by Irene

in 2007, they had six grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. Neville was active with The Oyama Community Club,The Vernon Science Center, and The Lake Country Museum. He also loved fi shing,

gardening and puttering in his work shop. He took up down hill skiing after he retired and he never understood why people made turns on the ski slopes when you could just go straight down the mountain. He was well liked at

the Lake Country Manor which was his home for the past fi ve years It was Neville’s wish to not have a public funeral so instead there will bea small family memorial at a later date. The family wishes to thank the staff and volunteers

at The Central Okanagan Hospice Association for their compassionate care of Dad.

Access Awareness Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in June. It is a comprehensive campaign to raise awareness about disability, accessibility, and social inclusion. Access Awareness Day is ultimately about more than just one day a year – it is a call to respond creatively and purposefully to build a society where barriers to inclusion are removed, and the independence, self-esteem, dignity, and security of all citizens is ensured.

Last year the District of Lake Country’s Access & Age-friendly Committee (previously known as the Access & Mobility Committee) took the initiative to inspire some upgrades to the local post office building to make it more accessible. Lake Country continues to improve livability by addressing access and age-friendly issues and encouraging compliance with Age-Friendly Living Guidelines.
