It is a milestone year of celebration for Gray Monk Winery. A Lake Country jewel, Gray Monk is celebrating 30-40-50. That is 30 years of producing wines, 40 years of vines in the ground and 50 years of marriage—it doesn’t get much bigger than that. George and Trudy Heiss have built one of the most recognized wineries in the province with a mixture of hard work, love and a little bit of luck. “We take what we make seriously but not ourselves,” laughs Trudy. Getting ready for the celebrations is one more element on which the Heiss’ can put their signature stamp. Flags and decorations will be going up at Gray Monk for the season and events tied in with the B.C. culinary team have been planned. The actual birthday of the winery is June 14 and Astral radio from Vancouver will be on hand to help promote the day— it goes to show the scope of the accomplishments at Gray Monk that they are able to draw attention from all corners of the province. George and Trudy have been in Lake Country since 1972 and have seen the community around them change and grow. Trudy remarks that Okanagan Centre used to be called The City but it has since become Sleepy Hollow. As a family-owned estate winery, Gray Monk is one of only a few ori-

ginals wineries left from the tough transition years of the 1980s as the valley industry found its way into the national and international market place. Gray Monk is a strong supporter of the Vintners Quality Alliance program. Both George and Trudy believe the VQA has been a significant contributor to their winery’s success. Gray Monk wines have consistently sailed through VQA tasting panels. Gray Monk was established as a winery in 1982 after years of growing grapes for other wineries. It was the most northerly winery in the Okanagan at the time.
Gray Monk started off as a winning enterprise—just months after opening the winery’s 1981 Gewurztraminer was acclaimed in first place and the 1981 Auxerrois in second in the people’s choice awards at the inaugural Okanagan Wine Festival. By the early 1990s, Gray Monk was producing as many as 24 different wines each year, including sparkling wines for anniversaries. This milestone year includes 200 cases of sparkling wine. The winery has a scope that reaches far beyond Lake Country. Gray Monk owns about 100 acres throughout the

Okanagan Valley and leases another 250 acres. Last year saw record setting production with 80,000 cases, a big uptick from the previous high of 72,000 cases. It takes 1,100 tonnes of grapes to product slightly more than a million bottles of wine, and about 38 people on year round staff to meet the production demand. “It is almost mind boggling,” admits Trudy. Almost 25 per cent of the production is sold through the winery’s own on-site wine shop. It represents a huge economic impact on Lake Country as up to a quarter of a million people from around the world

traverse the winding hillside roads to the winery perched above Okanagan Lake each year. For the first 27 years that massive number of guests was hosted in the old winery shop, but new facilities were completed just a few seasons ago. “I don’t know how we did it,” recalls Trudy. That careful approach to growth has been consistent and proven its worth throughout the history of Gray Monk. “We feel like we are the keepers of the land,” says Trudy as she explains the careful husbandry and jaw dropping hard work of maintaining pristine vineyards.
Gray Monk was established as a family business and remains that way. All three Heiss sons are involved in the day-to-day operating of the winery in various roles. Few wineries in the Okanagan make as broad a range of wines each year as Gray Monk. 30-40-50 is a great way to celebrate this notable Lake Country success story. Gray Monk Winery is located at 1055 Camp Rd. in Okanagan Centre. For more information about the winery, see the website www. graymonk.com, email wineshop@graymonk. com or phone 250-7663168.

I like to knit because it’s better than playing video games or iPods, it’s just as fun as any of those. I like to knit because you can make creative things and then you can wear them and it takes up your time when you are bored. It also is a lot of fun to knit while you are listening to music. I like to knit because it’s remarkable and it’s interesting. I’m not the best, but I try to do as much as I can. I like to knit because when I knit it gives me a chance to think about what is on my mind.

news â–ź ENERGY GENERATION
Application made but installation of wind testing towers some time off BOBBI-SUE MENARD Northland Power has made an application through BC Front Desk to install meteorological towers east of Lake Country between Dee Lake and Beaver Lake on Crown land. Meteorological towers measure the amount and consistency of wind in an area and are considered the first step to potential wind farm development. The application came before the Central Okanagan Regional District on Feb. 21. The appli-
cation was conditionally supported subject to a lengthy list of conditions put forward in the CORD meeting. In some ways, the Northland Power application is nothing new. A different company let its meteorological tower project lapse and Northland has apparently stepped forward to test the possibilities. That doesn’t mean past concerns have gone away, said Lake Country Mayor James Baker. “Oversight is the issue. Forest and range

Inaugural production from new theatre group BOBBI-SUE MENARD The bustling arts calendar in Lake Country has another great event booked. Newly formed theatre co-op Playhouse 25 has brought together some of the top stage talent in the Central Okanagan for its inaugural production, the crowd favourite, Waiting for the Parade. The play is scheduled to run Thursday, April 5, to Sunday, April 15, at the Creekside Theatre. Waiting for the Parade, by John Murrell, consistently thrills audiences with its focus on five Canadian women as they struggle to keep the home fires burning while their men are away in the Second World War. The
play has been known to move audiences to tears and fans of live theatre can expect the emotional experience that only comes with seeing actors and actresses on the stage. Director Aliske Webb said the depth of emotion in the play is why it resonates with audiences: “This is a story about love and war and how heartache is balanced with humour and endurance,� Webb said. Each of the five characters in the play have their story told through a series of vignettes and monologues. Each of the women has characteristics which are amplified in the stress of waiting for the war’s end but their actions and atti-
tudes are familiar to today’s audiences. One woman parents a young child while her husband is on the front lines, another busies herself with organizing charitable works related to the war, a third character struggles to reconcile her beliefs about the war. Webb said the actresses bringing the characters to life have spent countless hours researching the impact of the war on Canadians and the hard work has paid off. “Everyone really immersed themselves into this play. I think that is the mark of a great performance, does the audience believe the truth of the characters.� The Creekside Theatre is the right place for
Playhouse 25 to have its first run for a number of reasons, Webb said. Free parking, location and the big theatre helped to make the decision to open in Lake Country. “We are self-financed at this point,� explained Webb. “The Creekside Theatre has been very amenable to work with and Lake Country is a great community and very supportive.� The production opens at Creekside Theatre on Thursday, April 5, and runs to Sunday, April 15. Individual tickets are $20 or they can be purchase four for the price of three. Box office, ticket information and show times are available at 250-766-5669.
Yard waste pickup service has resumed Yard waste collection has resumed in the Central Okanagan and will continue until Nov. 30. Gather your leaves, grass clippings, needles, pruning’s and branches, put them into your yard waste cart with the green lid closed and wheel it out for your regularly scheduled pick up. And remember, yard
waste only—no garbage, plastic bags, rocks, sod, soil or flower pots please. To determine your yard waste collection week, refer to the Living Greener Calendar at regionaldistrict.com/recycle or download the new mobile phone waste app at regionaldistrict. com/mywasteapp. Waste reduction fa-

cilitator Rae Stewart said residents here make great use of the yard waste collection service. “Last year alone, we collected approximately 12,000 tonnes of yard waste at the curb and turned it into high quality compost instead of it being buried at the landfill,� she said. “Collecting yard waste
separately not only gives us the chance to compost all this yard waste, it also saves valuable landfill space.� Yard waste containers should be put out for collection by 7 a.m. on the morning of your regular garbage day, alternating weekly with your blue lid recycling bin pick up.
plication is intended to use existing logging and back country roads to install the towers, Baker said activity in the water shed must be closely monitored due to run off water in the area. “We do a cost benefit analysis and there is more benefit to clean drinking water than intrusive work for a few kilowatts of energy.� Baker is satisfied that the conditions attached to the meteorological tower installation are sufficient and that any further work will not
happen without CORD input. However, he did believe there could be a way for the towers to be installed without being overly intrusive. The application support conditions include receipt of approval from the District of Lake Country. In a response from Northland Power spokesperson David Chung Atkinson, the meteorological towers installation may be further off than the application suggests. “We have
no plans yet to install meteorological towers. “It requires a period to consult First Nations, this is the absolute beginning of a very long process and long study period.� The Okanagan Indian Band acknowledged it had been contacted by Northland Power but made no further comment. The application is available for viewing at the Central Okanagan Regional District website, www.regionaldistrict.com.
â–ź WATCH YOUR SPEED
Speed zones remain in effect during teacher job action Due to the rotating job action at local schools, local police have received inquiries as to whether school speed zones will be in effect. As the schools will remain open and administrators will be on-site, there is potential that some children may still attend their local school.
School speed zones will therefore remain in effect and will be enforced. Due to this job action and many children staying home, there is the further potential to see children playing outside or riding their bicycles on the roadways. Operating a vehicle requires drivers
to pay close attention to their surroundings. Police urge all motorists to remain vigilant during this time, to slow down and moderate their driving where they would expect to see children and especially where they would not expect to see them outside playing.
â–ź POLICE BRIEF
Police seek owner of copper wire After seizing a large amount of copper wire last week, the Kelowna RCMP are looking to identify the rightful owner for its return. In the early morning hours of Feb. 22, police seized 50 spools of tracer wire (seen here) during a traffic stop on Highway 33 under the suspicion that it was stolen. The Kelowna RCMP want to identify the owner to further the investigation and return the wire to them. Police believe that the wire was stolen from
somewhere in the Okanagan. If you have any information, please call the Kelowna RCMP Prop-

▼ MELANOMA
Cancer changes your life forever To the editor: I noted with interest media reports about the recent Canadian Cancer Society campaign to warn people about the potential risk of getting melanoma skin cancer through the use of tanning beds. As a person who is living with melanoma skin cancer, I know how this cancer can affect one’s life. Therefore, I support anything the Canadian Cancer Society can do to persuade people to avoid the risk of a deadly cancer, like melanoma. My melanoma began in the summer of 2010, when I noticed a small dark mole growing near my left ankle The mole was removed and sent for a biopsy. It turned out to be an aggressive form of melanoma. Since then I have had two operations, and many weeks of radiation treatment to kill any remaining cancer cells in the area.

▼ EYE ON GOVERNMENT
BCTF is indoctrinating our kids Perhaps the single most ridiculous stunt in the lead-up to this week’s teachers’ strike was pulled at an elementary school here in the capital. A teacher gave her Grade 1 class an assignment for anti-bullying day: Take crayons in hand and write to Education Minister George Abbott, demanding he stop bullying their teacher and address class size and composition. This North Koreastyle political indoctrination of six year olds was a mistake, according to the local teachers’ union boss, who vaguely indicated that the unnamed teacher would apologize to parents. Is this self-serving abuse of teacher authority an isolated incident? My experience as a parent and journalist suggests it is not, and recent events support that. By Friday, students across B.C. were skipping class in solidarity with their teachers, led by budding
BC Views
Tom Fletcher campus radicals suddenly conversant with B.C. Teachers’ Federation talking points about “Bill 22.” This left-wing groupthink pervades the education system from public schools through taxpayer-supported colleges and universities. After a couple of generations of this indoctrination, almost everyone “knows” that government under-funding is at the heart of every school problem, standardized testing is an assault on the fragile self-esteem of students, and reducing class size is the top pri-
ority for improving educational outcomes. All of this is glaringly false union propaganda, reinforced in classroom “current affairs” discussions. Don’t believe me? Google “Study: Class size doesn’t matter” for the latest on a growing stack of scientific evidence that shows you and your children are being force-fed lies. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert announced the strike on live TV with a remarkable string of rhetoric about the “Orwellian” legislation that will soon put an end to this teacher tantrum. The government needs to negotiate “clearly, rationally and respectfully,” said the boss of union representatives who have spent the last year insulting the taxpayers’ negotiators by telling them to “go back to your masters” and get a couple of billion more. Clearly? It was the BCTF that announced its work-to-rule plan for
the fall and then took the summer off. It was the BCTF that didn’t even present its outrageous 16-per-cent wage demand until January, a full 10 months after formal negotiations began, and accompanied it with a false costing. Orwellian? At a sparsely attended rally on the legislature lawn, local teachers’ unions marched out their most strident tame trustee to demand the government “come to the table” with billions. One teacher in the crowd held up a large sign adorned with three mug shots: Premier Christy Clark, ex-premier Gordon Campbell and Benito Mussolini, to illustrate a multiplechoice question about “fascism.” This teacher should be assigned to write an essay about the Italian dictator’s formative years, and his schooling in particular. In Vancouver, a protesting teacher got big media play, holding up
a sign proclaiming that “it’s not about a wage increase, it’s about classroom conditions.” This too is a lie. The BCTF trotted out its standard “children first” rhetoric, then tabled its breathtakingly out-oftouch benefit demands. It doesn’t take a math teacher to see what its $2 billion wage and benefit fantasy would actually do to classroom conditions. For his part, Abbott started out pretty keen about students and parents heading down to occupy their local school and replace striking teachers with volunteers for a couple of days. But he changed his tune after the support staff union started grumbling about parents colouring too close to their craft lines. One fight at a time, I guess. The next one will be over teacher performance assessment and the choke-hold of union seniority on school jobs. Tom Fletcher is a Black Press legislative columnist.
When the melanoma returned, I had chemotherapy, which was not successful, and I was referred to a melanoma specialist in Vancouver. I have had multiple trips to Vancouver for treatment with a new drug. I am now waiting for the results of another CT scan to determine how w effective this new drug has been for me. v Throughout the many medical treatments, CT scans, blood tests and travel, etc., that have dominated my life, I have received excellent care from all of the medical staff who looked after me. However, the disruption of our lifestyle has been immense, and my wife and I are working hard to cope with this disease. I am fortunate that I continue to look normal and my surgical scars and many unsightly melanoma spots can be hidden SEE CANCER A5

opinion â–ź STAND UP TO HARPER
Parliament dallies on dirty tricks while Canadians’ health deteriorates Kirsty Duncan (Etobicoke North), has tried to get a private members bill (C-280) passed regarding testing and treatment trials. On the eve (Feb. 17, 2012) of the final debate on this Bill, it seems that the Minister of Health sent letters to the Conservative caucus (I have a copy), that contained incorrect, dubious, inaccurate and definitely misleading information. Dr. Duncan’s bill was defeated. I have been a “small c� conservative for many years. Recent events are, however, making me lose any faith that I had in the Conservative Party, and in the whole political
system we presently have in place. As far as the current ruling party, it would appear that Mr. Harper has put Parliament under autocratic rule, where the leader now rules by himself. We recently heard Mr. Harper tell European bankers how he was about to change the Canadian Old Age Pension program. Then we learned how much he, personally, will be entitled to thanks to our funding his parliamentary pension—$250,000 per annum. We presently have the robo phone debacle taking up parliamentary
time. Our world is in economic turmoil, we have growing flashpoints in the Middle East, there is famine affecting millions, yet Parliament’s time is taken up by the possibly illegal tactics of the Conservative Party

Life and Faith
Jim Taylor tions end in bitter divorce. Tell it to the battered spouse, afraid to go public because it will lead to even more beatings. Tell it to the child, molested in the night, supposedly in the name of love. We’ve invested far too much in a single word. Paul’s Greek contemporaries defined three kinds of love. Eros was physical love, the hormonal urges that drive two people together. Filios was what they called brotherly love— the bonds between siblings. Siblings don’t always get along together, but there’s an unbreakable connection.
Mother love—the biblical term was hesed or chesed, sometimes translated as womblove—is utterly devoted and self-sacrificing at its best. Even animal mothers will risk their own lives for the sake of their offspring. And why not? These children were once part of her own body, closer than any embrace. And father love—the archetypal warrior or rescuer, the provider and protector who provides discipline and stability, who can sometimes become dominating and controlling. So many kinds of love. So many kinds of relationships. So why do we tend to restrict religious experience to just one model? There are lots of biblical images of all the other kinds of love. But mostly I hear God described as an Almighty Father. Are divine relationships more limited than human ones? Jim Taylor is an Okanagan Centre author. rewrite@shaw.ca.

Agape was compassionate love, a genuinely disinterested caring about others that expected nothing in return. But those three categories don’t identify all the loving relationships possible. None of them, for example, adequately defines my relationship with my grandchildren. How does friend love fit? No obligation, no genetic ties, but a deep sense of loyalty. Or aging love. The bedrock remains; the peaks and canyons of youth passion have leveled out. Time is too short to sweat the small stuff. Then there’s child love. A child does not love his mother the way she loves him, or her. A child’s love is needy—the need to be fed, clothed, sheltered, protected and nurtured. Couple love is eros, of course. But it goes beyond mere sexual desire. Two people in love want to be one, emotionally and intellectually as well as physically. It’s more like total immersion in each other.

Then I read in my father’s memoirs about him sitting by his wife Chris’s bed as she died, gently spooning teaspoons of soup into her mouth.

Letnick joins fellow MLAs in call for pain clinic ALISTAIR WATERS Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick says it’s time a clinic was established here to help patients deal with chronic pain. Letnick, in an open letter to the Interior Health, says he and his MLA colleagues Kelowna-Mission’s Steve Thomson and WestsideKelowna’s Ben Stewart, believe that despite investment and increases in other health areas here, services to help those with chronic pain need to be addressed and improved as well. “As with any new program, the challenge will be finding the funds to deliver the service,” said Letnick, chairman of the legislature’s standing committee on health. The MLAs call comes after one of the two local specialist who dealt with the issue of pain management moved to Nanaimo, citing a lack of staff and equipment to properly deal with the issue.
Norm Letnick Dr. Karl Muendel, who left in December, was particularly upset about IH’s refusal to buy a mobile x-ray machine for pain management services. But the one remaining pain specialist in town said last week that after talking to IH officials, he is “cautiously optimistic” the situation will be improved here. Dr. Stephen Jefferys told a local radio station he had talked to IH management in light of Muendel’s departure and was encouraged by what he heard. Jefferys has been critical of the current situation, saying more staff and equipment are
needed here now. In his letter, Letnick said it is important to make progress on helping people stay healthy, manage chronic care issues, improve access to primary care specialists, reduce wait times, get patients out of hallways in hospitals and avoid readmissions. And creation of a pain management clinic here would help. Currently, there is not a full clinic to deal with pain management issues in the Interior. “We are making progress but we have more work to do,” said Letnick. Meantime, IH is reportedly working on interim solutions for better pain management services as it prepares to move into the new Centennial Tower at Kelowna General Hospital, with its expanded ambulatory care department. Jeffery’s said he did not feel it will take a lot W of money to improve the situation here but something needs to be done.

ONE OF THE activities at the Wild Play Element Park near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island is a walk across a tricky bridge, with a safety wire attached. A similar outdoor adventure park has been proposed for the Heartland Ranch east of Kelowna on Highway 33.

s the new gardening season begins, the question arises once more: Will this be a drought year? If you want to be proactive in drought proofing your landscape, the Okanagan Xeriscape Association has many resources to assist gardeners for both new and established landscapes. Much of that information can be found at the website www.okanaganxeriscape.org. The website includes a summary of the Seven Principles of Xeriscape; a Landscape Assessment Tool; classes and events; resource lists of books, other websites and demonstration gardens; and a photo gallery including the story of the creation of the unH2O Garden. On the website, the searchable plant database has 400 plant list-
Gwen Steele
Natural Garden ings with 23 search categories. OXA is working with valley nurseries to have them listed on individual plant profiles for waterwise plants they carry. This makes it easier to find plants on your wish list before you go shopping. Be sure to visit the unH2O Xeriscape Demonstration Garden frequently to see seasonal changes. Located in front of the H2O Aquatic Cen-
tre on Gordon Drive, it includes over 80 species in five theme gardens. With the addition of many spring bulbs last fall, the garden will have abundant bloom from mid March until frost. The first blooms (snowdrops) were sighted Feb. 10. A pamphlet containing the plant list is available in the garden during the growing season and also on the OXA’s website on the About Us—OXA Projects page. The popular twonight Introduction to the Seven Principles of Xeriscape class will be available on three Thursday dates: March 29 and April 5; April 12 and 19; and April 26 and May 3. Information and registration details are on the Classes page of the website. The second annual Xeriscape Garden Con-
test begins April 1 and runs to Aug. 31. Forms will be available by April 1 online and at participating nurseries. Details of the 2011 Xeriscape Garden Contest and photo stories of winning gardens can be found on the events page as well as links to six garden photo stories from the 2011 contest. The Okanagan Xeriscape Association’s 2012 memberships are now available online on the About Us page. Benefits include 10 pe rcent off all of OXA’s classes and workshops; notification of OXA’s classes and events and significant additions to the website; and a 10 per cent discount off plants from specified Okanagan Valley nurseries. We also welcome garden volunteers, giving them learning opportunities in the garden. Con-
tact us through the website. As for my column, it will run every Friday in the Capital News from now through November. Similar to last year, it will highlight xeriscape plants, garden conversion stories, tips and seasonal advice for home gardeners about planning, creating, and maintaining xeriscapes. It will also publicize garden related events. Using locally acclimatized seeds ensures better gardening results. You can purchase seed from local producers at Seedy Saturday on Saturday, March 10, at Okanagan College. Gwen Steele is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association. Learn more about gardening with nature and plants for the Okanagan at www.okanaganxeriscape.org.
Play on the wild side WADE PATERSON Heartland Ranch may be the location of WildPlay Element Park’s newest franchise. An application has been made to the Agricultural Land Commission for non-farm use on the ranch in order to develop an outdoor adventure facility on a 12.7 hectare portion of the property along Highway 33 East. Whether or not the vision will come to life is yet to be seen. The approval of the facility moved one step closer to reality on Monday night after the Central Okanagan Regional Disrict board supported a referral application for WildPlay. WildPlay Element Parks currently operate in Maple Ridge, Nanaimo, West Shore Victoria, Whistler and the Yukon. WildPlay Ltd. was established in 2006. They have indicated that the Okanagan franchise will employ two full-time and 15 to 18 seasonal staff to operate the adventure park. The purpose of the park is to provide selfpropelled physical play activities in a natural environment for individuals and families. Some of the activities will include tree-to-
tree courses, zip lines and pendulum swings. Alexander Michl has been working with WildPlay, looking for appropriate locations in the Okanagan. He was hesitant to get into details about WildPlay before the ALC makes its decision whether or not to approve the application. He noted that WildPlay looked at various sites before deciding that Heartland Ranch was the best fit. Bruce Smith, communications officer with the regional district, said the ALC referred the application to the regional board for its consideration and recommendation. “The board was interested in the application and, in light of the staff report, are recommending support because it was proposed for an area of the Heartland property that’s not currently in any agricultural use,� said Smith. Heartland and WildPlay will share space for administration, guest services, storage and maintenance, eliminating the need to construct additional buildings and structures at the Joe Rich site. The ALC will meet later this month to decide whether or not to approve the application.

Business After Hours at Holiday Park Last week’s Business After Hours held in Holiday Park’s Okanagan Room was an educational and fun evening. Hosted by Total Home Carpet Care and James Lukkemark and Matt Allaire of Crackmaster, Matt spoke about the importance of fixing your chips and cracks as soon as you get them, as the windshield is a huge factor in the structural integrity of your car. Guest speaker Jody Evans gave a very interesting talk on the pH levels in your body and
home. Thanks to both for the great information. Osho Japanese Restaurant in Lake Country generously donated two trays of sushi for the evening’s appies and wow, what great rolls. Thanks to Satoshi for the donation. Lake Country’s next Business After Hours will be hosted at Lake Country Optometry on March 28.

Lake Country Museum curator Dan Bruce was awarded the prestigious Arts Educator Award at the 2012 Okanagan Arts Awards. In accepting the award Bruce said, “I am honoured and surprised—thank you. I am proud to bring such an award to Lake Country.” Bruce is the curator of the Lake Country Museum, housed in the heritage Okanagan Centre School building and grounds. He also manages the collections of the Fintry Estate and Manor House as its executive director. Bruce has lived in Lake Country for 26 years. His museum career started in Jamaica, where he worked in archaeological exploration of pre-Columbian sites. Bruce was hired by the British Museum to curate its collections from the Caribbean. After arriving in Canada, he has worked with James Baker at the archaeology field school in Lytton, B.C., and has curated at the Princeton Museum and the Kelowna Centennial Museum. He has assisted the Central Okanagan Regional District with heritage sites. Over the last several
w
years, the American Museum of Natural History in New York has selected Bruce as its lecturing tour guide for field trips in Latin America. Bruce has also given numerous public lectures in the fields of history and archaeology. Duane Thomson, president of the Lake Country Museum, writes: “Dan has made an impressive contribution to Lake Country Museum, most recently by curating the All Fired Up exhibition of pottery from around the world. He plans to mount further exhibitions on Mexican arts and crafts and the Japanese Canadians of Lake Country. In preparing these exhibitions Dan uses his extensive contacts internationally and throughout B.C. to gather artifacts which complement our own holdings.” The year 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the Okanagan Arts Awards, which celebrate excellence in arts throughout the Okanagan and recognize outstanding achievement. This year’s winners were presented with a bronze cast sculpture of a spiral created by artist Terry Shewchuk of Kamloops.

Growing your food close Composter can cut your garbage in half to home a healthy choice encing others. “People are more curious about where their food is coming from and it’s catching on politically,� he said, noting that city halls in Vancouver and San Francisco have community gardens on site, aimed at setting the tone for the community they’re in. Ladner, a former Vancouver city councillor and member of the Vancouver Food Policy Council, initiated that city’s program to add 2,010 food-producing community garden plots by 2010. It’s been a successful endeavour and paved the way for his book, which argues bringing food production into the city is a means of going beyond filling bellies of foodies and making a political show. It serves the larger social purpose of making people healthier, alleviating poverty, creating jobs and making cities safer and more beautiful. “Better eating equals lower health care costs,� he said. “And community farming puts more eyes and ears on the street, making for safer
KATHY MICHAELS As traditional agriculture producers struggle with unfavourable environmental and market conditions, city dwellers are finding innovative ways to use their own green thumbs. “The urban food revolution is long overdue and it’s underway,â€? Peter Ladner, author of The Urban Food Revolution, Changing the Way We Feed Cities, said to an audience at Kelowna’s Fresh Look Foundation’s Sustainable Communities conference. “Pressures on traditional agriculture are getting into the minds of urban people‌and it’s (triggering) a survival instinct.â€? Most may not be able to wrap their heads around the idea of global warming, he explained, but they can wrap their heads around what they’ll eat that night. And it seems more people are choosing to eat out of their own backyard, or as close to it as they can get, if possible. In turn, that grassroots movement is influ-
streets.� That claim is backed up by the simple fact that even in the worst parts of Vancouver, police calls, drug use and violence has all gone down when healthy sources of food have been provided. “It’s a crime reduction strategy,� Ladner said. To learn more about Ladner, go to urbanfoodrevolution.wordpress.com.
The Regional Waste Reduction office is offering subsidized Earth Machine backyard composters for $40 (tax included), a big savings from the regular $100 price. But this year you’ll need to order a composter ahead if you want one. The order sale is on now until April 6, with the composters ready for pickup in May. “Instead of a big one-day blowout sale in only one location, we’re doing a pre-sale this year to make sure residents who want a composter get one,� said Rae Stewart, with the regional waste office. “ Once you place your order, we’ll bring the composters to your community in early May to make it
easier for pickup.� Stewart says 30 to 50 per cent of household waste is easily compostable. “If you recycle and compost you could be putting as little as one or two grocery bags worth of garbage out for collection a week, a huge savings for our landfill,� she said. “And by adding nutrient-rich compost to your garden, your soil comes alive—greener grass, healthier flowers, better fruit and veggies.� This year’s composters feature a few new waste minimization options. “Backyard composting doesn’t suit everyone, so this year
we’re also offering a limited supply of worm bin composters, perfect for condo or apartment dwellers,� Stewart said. “We’re also introducing the Green Cone ‘food digester.’ It’s low maintenance, takes all types of food waste including fruit and vegetable scraps, cooked and uncooked meat, fish, bones and dairy products, and can even handle pet waste.� For details on the composter sale, to place your order, view your payment options, or find out which model is best for you, visit regionaldistrict.com/compostersale or call the office at 250-4696250.

news ▼ REVEALING ART
Illuminating the everyday JENNIFER SMITH Jane Everett knows how to bridge gaps. After graduating from Queens University in fine arts she’s carved a niche for herself on the Canadian art scene, building from one project to the next, one idea to another with an eye for seeing the extraordinary in the everyday. From race horses to mice, little birds to human figures, Everett never seems to run out of ideas, taking inspiration from the Italian canals to seeing interest in the Bennett Bridge reflection and the Port Mann cranes. Tucked away in her Lower Mission home, a tour of this career hanging on the walls and stacked along the sides of her studio, as she reconstructs the Port Mann Bridge construction in mediums far removed from the cold edge of marinas and industry and steel scaffolding. Today’s paper of choice is vellum, the same translucent sheath that adds import to wedding invitations and intrigue to photo albums, upon which she’s carefully layering colours to create a delicate sky. “What I like is to have a bit of colour underneath them. If I put them on white, you don’t quite get
the whites jumping like you do on a darker background,” Everett says as she picks the drawing up and posts it against a white wall. Working in the midtones is a bit of a tradition in Everett’s world. She did the Bennett Bridge on a raw linen— beige—layering on charcoal and a Gesso fixative that picks up the dark dust and runs along down the surface dribbling into the lake reflections below. Lining the studio walls, there’s an interesting series of mice on linen with corresponding Fimo figurines that she has yet to show. “I just think the colour is so dishy,” she explains. “You can add lights and darks and you start with that. The linen is this warm thing where it can be the mouse’s fur; it can be the concrete on the bridge; it can be the horse’s flesh.” What it can’t be is the inspiration. Everett says she spends around a year on each muse, stopping when she realizes she’s working from rote and starting on the next thing to catch her eye. “I think for most artists what’s on the easel is what’s most interesting to them at that moment,” she says as she looks at a crane she’s car-
ving out with charcoal and lead. While she doesn’t have a venue yet, she can picture how the Port Mann show will come together, likely with several linen panels hung slightly off kilter down the middle of the room as though one’s walking across the bridge, surrounded by the translucent vellum images. Granville Fine Art, in Vancouver’s South Granville neighbourhood, will do a show in April with several paintings of what’s to come, though Everett says she’s committed to keeping the linen and vellum body of work together for an exhibit. And she’s had that lightbulb moment on the next project. One of the more catchy vellum bridgescapes features a lamp post that seems to jump out of the stack of steel girders and cold waterways with the intensity only an object one has become fixated on deserves. “I’m thinking about doing something with lamp posts and hanging lights next,” she admits,
JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS
JANE EVERETT takes a short break from painting mice to the Port Mann Bridge in her home studio. noting she could branch into spotlights and decorative boardwalk overhangs. Everett’s husband teaches American politics at UBCO and her children both work in creative fields—her daughter as a journalist, her son as a screenwriter—so there’s plenty of fodder for inspiration at home, work and abroad. Just where this Kelowna artist will take
us next isn’t set in stone, but through all that opaque vellum there’s a
grey area of ideas one can only imagine will be illuminating.

Q A
My cat lives mostly inside and occasionally goes out in the backyard for a few hours. Do I really need to worry about vaccinations?
The short answer to this question is yes! Although most house cats don’t live as social lives as our dogs, even those that go out only occasionally are at risk of contracting contagious feline diseases. Some diseases are transmitted by friendly or casual contact between cats, whereas others require very close contact or bites. Unless your cat is kept strictly indoors at all times and does not come in contact with any other animals, there are some core vaccines that are recommended by most veterinarians. Feline viral rhinotracheitis (feline herpes virus), feline panleukopenia, calicivirus, rabies and feline leukemia disease are often included as part of a core vaccination protocol for kittens. These are given as a series of shots that begin at 8-9 weeks of age. As adults, indoor/outdoor cats require boosters FWFSZ ZFBST EFQFOEJOH PO UIFJS MJGFTUZMF *G a new cat is being introduced to the household with an unknown vaccination history, your existing feline friend may be at risk of exposure to these diseases, even if both cats appear healthy. For example, a cat can be infected with feline leukemia virus without showing outward signs but can be contagious. The new cat should be tested for certain illnesses and vaccinated appropriately before being introduced.

Should we continue renting or buy a home?
First of all, you need to place a clear value on the enjoyment and satisfaction that you will derive from owning your own home. Home buyers should base their purchasing decision not only on the investment attributes of a house, but also on their personal circumstances like family situation and ďŹ nancial position. As a homeowner, one can reasonably expect the equity in their home to increase over time as the mortgage is paid down. This fact, combined with regular appreciation in property values, can be a rapid and rewarding way to increase your net worth. In contrast, the person renting over the same amount of time is left with no property investment. When comparing owning to renting, one must to add up all of the ďŹ nancial ďŹ gures, including the cost of the home, the size of the down payment, utilities, immediate repairs, interest rates and insurance. These ďŹ gures should then be compared with how much is currently being spent on rent. When you do decide to buy a home, you need to be aware that you may live in that home for quite some time, so you will want to make sure that the neighbourhood you choose provides the right combination of services and amenities that will meet your needs. Some considerations to think about are proximity to schools and public transportation, recreational facilities, distance of commute to and from work, trafďŹ c ow and availability of parking. In Lake Country we are fortunate to be geographically situated in a location that makes work locally, in Kelowna or Vernon very practical. Although there are many choices for housing in the Okanagan, we truly have a fantastic community that offers great educational choices, fantastic restaurants, pristine parks and beaches and unbeatable community spirit, as was on display at the Halloween bonďŹ re and ďŹ reworks!
Q A
My whole family has come down with the stomach u. What can we take?
There have been a lot of stomach bugs around UIJT XJOUFS 3FNFNCFS UIBU UIFZ BSF B UZQF PG virus and therefore your body will ďŹ ght it off. Often the term u is used for an illness with vomiting and diarrhea but do not confuse this with inuenza. Inuenza involves mostly the respiratory system and usually not the stomach. Therefore if you got your â€˜ďŹ‚u shot’ you are not protected from stomach bugs! Most stomach bugs are short lived and will resolve without treatment in one or two days. Dehydration is the biggest concern especially in the young and the elderly. Once the stomach has settled and food or drink can be retained, stick to a mild diet. Things such as bananas, applesauce, rice and toast are good options. Water is obviously important but remember that the body needs more than only water to be hydrated. The body will have lost some of its essential salts as well which need to be replaced. There are drinks that are specially formulated to prevent and treat dehydration. Although sports drinks, tea, soup broth, diluted fruit juice and even ginger ale can also be used. Medications to treat both diarrhea and vomiting are available without a prescription. However most often they are not of beneďŹ t during a stomach u. Come in and see us at the WinďŹ eld IDA in Cooper’s Village for any questions about stomach bugs and the products you need to help survive them!

Dust off those shoes to be part of an active, injury-free Lake Country
A
re you as excited as I am about daylight savings? To me, it means warmer weather and longer days to get outside and be active in this beautiful Lake Country that we are so lucky to live in. Would it be fair to say that a lot of us are guilty of becoming rather inactive over the cold winter period? However, I’m sure over the next few months the urge to dust off the shoes and get back into your walking, running or cycling program will build. The health benefits of being active for just 30 minutes a day are far too great for us not to dust
Nick Black
Keeping You Fit off those shoes. Did you know that physical inactivity is thought to be responsible for approximately half the world’s chronic illness (Merchant et al, 2007)? As a physiotherapist, I take pride in my profession’s commitment
to encouraging people to be active. However, due to the outdoor playground that Lake Country provides I find people have little trouble being active. Instead I find I have to give advice on how to avoid injuries in order for people to maintain their active lifestyles. This is the crucial time of year for that advice. After a period of inactivity through the winter, the tissues that form our muscles and tendons become unaccustomed to the types of strain put on them with walking, running, cycling and even gardening. As a result, we are a little more

susceptible to injury. Therefore, a staged progression back into your sport or activity is one very important consideration. For example, keep your walk, run or cycle to a leisurely pace for just 20 to 30 minutes and avoid hills initially. Even if the pace seems
too easy I would strongly recommend trying to maintain that level for at least a week, while including rest days in between. You can then gradually alter the terrain by introducing hills over another one to two weeks, followed by another two-week period where you gradually increase your exercise time. It is important to only progress one aspect of your routine at a time. For example, try not to be tempted to up your pace or introduce more challenging terrain at the same time you increase your workout time. Stretching is often overlooked and is vital in remaining injury free.
Stretching warm muscles feels a lot nicer than stretching cold one’s. Therefore, I would recommend stopping to stretch once you are about five minutes into your workout. The back and front of your thighs, as well as your calves and bottom muscles are probably the most important muscle groups to stretch in a walk, run or cycle workout. Cycling can put a significant amount of strain on your lower back, therefore it’s important to incorporate stretches into this area. Lastly, make sure your equipment fits and works well. For a
walker or runner, use supportive footwear that’s designed for your activity and not worn out. For a cyclist, ensure that your bike is sized and adjusted to keep you in optimal alignment. Most cycle specialty stores will be able to guide you in this if you bring in your bike. Most importantly, have a wonderful, active and injury-free spring and I will see you outside!

Snowmobilers using logging road raise serious safety issues WADE PATERSON Late last month Jerry Kneller had a close call. He was driving on a forest service road in the Jackpine Lake area when he collided with a snowmobiler who Kneller said shouldn’t have been there. “I was driving up the road and a guy came around the corner and down the road on my side—it was a very narrow piece of road,� said Kneller. “I tried swerving to the left around him because he was sliding sideways down the road towards me. “The back end of his sled hit my front tire, which was about the best thing that could’ve happened. “After I swerved, I hit the brakes because I
didn’t want to run this guy right over. He ended up laying right beside my back tire.� He said that the incident could’ve ended up much worse, and that’s something he doesn’t want to have to live with. According to Kneller, the logging road is plowed, therefore it is illegal for snowmobilers to use it. “It’s a very well used road. There are a lot of ice fishermen, snowshoers and other guys sledding that are driving further up. There is a lot of travel on that road and (snowmobilers) are not being careful,� Kneller said. He added that he’s not the only one who has had a close call on the road. After telling his father about the collision,

She is an adorable cat with people, but can be a bit dominant of other cats. She would do well in an interactive home as she has put on a bit of weight here at the shelter. Of course she was an outdoor hunting cat (with 6 mouths to feed no less) so not being as active as she likes has led to her over-eating. She would be a rewarding companion as she LOVES to cuddle and play with you. If you would like to meet Baroness, please come down to the Kelowna SPCA and ask for an introduction.

his dad said that a snowmobiler had launched onto the road in front of him earlier that day. “These guys are not thinking. It’s not just one; it’s a whole bunch of them. Another guy that I work with had a close
call too.� Kneller said this is a problem that can be easily prevented. “You’ve got so many options, and you don’t have to go far. “If you’re just trying to find a place that’s close,
go up one of those logging roads in your truck and unload at a clear cut
or wherever you want to ride. “You don’t need to be
riding miles and miles up these plowed, well used logging roads.�

‘Sports car verve’ LORNE DRURY
CONTRIBUTED
EVEN WITH the base GX trim package, the 2012 Mazda CX-7 crossover SUV is nicely finished. Starting at $26,595 the GX is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre inline four-cylinder engine, mated with a five-speed automatic transmission
Mazda says its CX-7 crossover has the ‘soul of a sports car’ and they aren’t far wrong. It definitely has the looks of one with its rakish windshield, pronounced character lines and bulging wheel arches that help set it apart from the crowd in the mid-size crossover SUV field. Since it was introduced as a 2007 model, the CX-7 has always offered an interesting blend of ‘sports car verve’ as Mazda calls it,
along with the utility and practicality of an SUV. I’ve long been a Mazda fan, having owned or leased about a dozen of them over the years, so there’s no doubt I’m coming at this with a biased viewpoint. But if I were in the market to buy a crossover SUV, the 2012 CX-7 would definitely be on the test drive list. Styling is important to me and the CX-7 gets an ‘A’ for good looks. Handling is equally important and the CX-7 manoeuvres much more like a car than many of its com-
petitors, so that would be a definite plus. Performance would be third in my books in this segment and the CX-7 offers two powertrain choices depending upon your driving needs. My base GX tester came with a 2.5-litre y inline four-cylinder engine, which produces 161 hp. It offers adequate performance and can handle most driving situations any of us would encounter. If you want more power, opt for the upscale trim lev-

motoring MAZDA FROM A14 els that feature a turbocharged 2.3-litre fourcylinder engine. It makes 244 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque, using either regular or premium unleaded gasoline. This engine is mated with a six-speed automatic transmission. I think what I love about Mazda is they have always dared to be different. When you’re a little guy in the market you can do that. A perfect example is the Mazda3, a model that broke the mold in the compact car class with a great blend of driving dynamics and good looks. It was a sales success right from the get-go, in both sedan and hatchback formats, because its exciting styling set it apart from the competition in the compact class. Now, the Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia have taken a similar tact, offering vehicles that are economical to buy and operate, yet look great at
the same time. Mazda strayed from the norm when they introduced the CX-7 into the crossover segment, moving away from the squared off, boxy look of most mid-size CUV/SUVs to one that is more akin to a sports car than a sport ute. The 2012 model is little changed from last year’s version. Three years ago it underwent a mild refresh with the introduction of a revised lower front grille and rear fascia, but little has changed since its debut in 2007 so I expect a major overhaul very soon. For 2012, the CX-7 is offered in three trims: GX, GS and GT. The front-wheel drive GX has a five-speed automatic transmission, while the GS and GT feature all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic. The 2.5-litre inline four-cylinder engine makes 161 hp and 161 lb/ft of torque at 3,500
rpm. The GX also includes standard features like power windows and door locks, air conditioning, steering wheel mounted cruise and audio controls, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlamps and 17-inch alloy wheels. Among the safety features are anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electric brake force distribution (EBD), stability control, traction control, brake assist and six airbags. My tester, which came with a price tag of $29,590, had the Luxury Package, the only option available on the GX and GS trims. The package includes power moonroof, leather upholstery and door trim, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat (four-way adjustable on the passenger side), heated seats, automatic climate control and Bluetooth hands free phone system. The GX starts at
$26,595. The GS ($29,995) adds 18-inch alloys and dual exhaust outlets, while the GT ($36,690) comes loaded with all the Luxury Package features plus a blind spot monitoring system, auto dimming mirror with Homelink, chrome front fog lamps, xenon HID headlamps, intelligent key system, multi-information display with rear view camera, Sirius satellite radio, six-disc CD changer with a ninespeaker Bose premium audio system. A navigation system with rear view camera and seven-inch touch screen is optional on the GT. So there’s something for every taste and every price range throughout the CX-7 trim levels. The cabin of the CX-7 is nicely put together with greater use of soft touch materials than in its early years. Now, the grain SEE MAZDA A16

and texture of the materials is nicer to the look and touch and the twotone interior colour combination are attractive. Chrome accents around the heater ducts and shift lever also add a touch of contrast. Insulation has been
improved over the years, but when you push the four-banger hard, a fair amount of engine noise does make its way inside the cabin. But that’s no different than you get with many other fourcylinder models in the segment. Steering on the CX-7 is crisp and the ride is on the firm side.
