School district scrambling to find more money Superintendent of schools identifies a $2-million shortfall heading into the budget process for the 2013-14 school year. Jennifer Smith The superintendent of the Central Okanagan School District, Hugh Gloster, is anticipating a $2-million shortfall going into preliminary budget meetings this week. The district is budgeting for $173,544,272 in funding from the province, but already knows it will not be enough to meet the bills and there are more needs on the horizon. And it is already hearing that from parents and employees. “Just because my kid doesn’t qualify for any learning assistance or resource support, I don’t understand why he can’t receive any extra help from another teacher besides the classroom teacher,” reads one parent’s comment in response to requests for budget input issued by SD23. A submission for a learning assistance coordinator has been filed with the district, a new position worth $47,000, and the CUPE workers who lose time during the second week of spring break are also asking to bank minutes toward a pay cheque replacing the loss of income this second week of break has created.

Hugh Gloster “The ongoing inclusion of a second week of spring break has a very significant negative impact on 10-month employees and low-income parents,” said CUPE local 3523 president Wendy Johnson in a submission filed with the district. “This not only creates a loss immediately felt by the employee’s family but also affects the 10-month employee’s pensionable service and retirement benefit. “There are many 10-month employees who have children in our school system,” she goes on to say. “The wage loss to parents immediately results in these families being barely able, or unable, to meet their financial obligations and often doing without basic necessities.” Other districts in B.C. have agreed to this time-banking scheme. The district’s finance and legal committee will meet on Wednesday, April 3 to begin discussing the wants, needs and shortfalls to accommodate in the budget, and the superintendent will provide his budget recommendations on Apr. 17.

Easter marked in different ways in Central Okanagan Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna was marked Easter in both secular and non-secular ways here on the weekend. While hundreds turned out for a huge pancake breakfast and Easter egg hunt on Friday, others took to the streets in a more solemn demonstration, a show of faith that included marching with a giant wooden cross in the annual Way Of The Cross Walk downtown. About 3,000 people visited Parkinson Recreation Centre on Good Friday to take part in the 10th annual Easter Pancake Breakfast. One hundred and
twenty volunteers hid Easter eggs, served pancakes, painted faces and helped orchestrate the multifaceted event, which is one of three key community celebrations put on by Victory Life Fellowship. Since its origin, the Easter Pancake Breakfast has nearly tripled in size, according to Victory Life Fellowship pastor Diana Tripke. “We’ve lost count,” said Tripke. “Over the years you learn what works and what doesn’t work—you just fine-tune.” Tripke said this year’s only hitch was an unexpected shortage in Easter eggs, which limited
children to 10 eggs each. Regardless, few kids seemed to notice or care as they gravitated from event to event with smiles on their faces. “They love it. We get people from out of town who come (to Kelowna) for this.” The event also provided donated clothing for those in need. Victory Life Fellowship’s next community event will happen Aug. 24 with a Back to School Bash. Tripke said there will be plenty of activities for kids and at least 750 backpacks will be given away for the upcoming school year. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Charges laid in fatal motorcycle crash
Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Charges have been laid in a fatal motorcycle crash in Rutland last March that killed a father and grandfather from Kelowna.
Jules Kreeft, 59, had one daughter, two sons, and was a grandfather of six when he and his wife, Vivian, were crushed between an SUV and a van on Harvey Avenue at Cooper Road. The crashed occurred
on March 20, 2012, when a black Jeep Cherokee hit the Kreefts from behind as they rode their Harley Davidson motorcycle, smashing them into a white Dodge van. “The Kelowna man was rushed to hospital,
but died from injuries he sustained in the crash. The woman suffered serious, but non-life threatening injuries,” said Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP spokesman, in a statement released the next day. In that same state-
ment, Clark indicated the pair may have been hit because the driver of the Jeep was talking on a cellphone. Last week, Mark Sameer Batraki was charged with driving a motor vehicle without due
care and attention. The death marked the seventh from a crash in the first three months of 2012, prompting a warnings from the RCMP drivers to pay attention while operating a vehicle on local roads.

Car plunges into lake
First response emergency crews were called to a long, flat stretch of highway outside Peachland mid-day Easter Monday. At approximately 12:30 p.m., reports a vehicle had plunged into Okanagan Lake near the intersection of Renfrew Road and Highway 97 revealed a car had pulled to the side, but failed to stop before rolling into the water. The sole occupant of the vehicle, the 87-yearold driver, was extracted from the car by Peachland Fire Rescue before the vehicle submerged into the lake. A statement from police said the driver was taken to Kelowna General Hospital with minor injuries. The cause of the mishap did not appear to be medical in nature; although, the investigation is ongoing. There has already been a fatality as the result of a driver plunging into an Okanagan lake in the last few months. In December, a 58-year-old woman from Salmon Arm perished in Wood Lake after her Jeep TJ lost control along Highway 97 north of Kelowna en route to Vernon. Witnesses reported the jeep was travelling northbound on Highway 97 when it began to fishtail. The driver was unable to regain control of the vehicle before it left the road and plunged into Wood Lake. A group of passing motorists made a valiant effort to save her, using ropes and chains to try and pull the vehicle from the water; unfortunately, the ropes broke. Police and the rescuers were eventually able to free her so she could be transferred to a waiting ambulance, but she could not be resuscitated. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

UBCO’s school of nursing hosts Indian exchange students For the first time since an agreement was signed five years ago, students from India are participating in an exchange program with the School of Nursing at UBC’s Okanagan campus. The visitors are from the Royal Institute of Nursing—a school located in Batala, in the Punjab State in Northern India, about an hour away from Amritsar. Students Kamalpreet Kaur and Sukhmanpreet Kaur are in their final year of the three-year general nursing and midwifery program, while Parminder Singh is in his second year of the bachelor of science in nursing program. They and their vice-principal Rajwant Kaur Bajwa are in Canada for six weeks. Through a partnership agreement between the school of nursing and the Global Education and Charitable Trust, which operates RIN, nursing faculty from UBC visit India for a five-week period each year. Last year, associate professor of nursing Deborah McCullough and
fellow faculty member Louise McIntosh travelled to Batala and worked with the staff and students from RIN to organize a geriatric nursing seminar for all students, teachers, and nurses in the area. In previous years, UBC faculty have organized health fairs for residents in remote villages. McCullough stresses the partnership is about sharing ideas to improve health care, especially for those living in remote areas. The Global Education and Charitable Trust is run by four brothers originally from Batala. The brothers wanted to establish a nursing school to support their community in India, and to do that they needed a partnership with a university. They chose UBC’s Okanagan School of Nursing because of its reputation for delivering an outstanding nursing curriculum. “We are very excited to have the students with us in the Okanagan this year,” said associate professor of nursing Barbara
Brown-McKenzie, noting that while the two institutions have had an agreement since 2008, this is the first time students have made the trip to Canada. So far, the visiting students and their teacher have sat in on nursing lectures, participated in seminars, student presentations, clinical labs, and simulations. They have visited a number of practical settings including UBC Okanagan’s Health Centre, and hospitals in Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton and Oliver. “We’ve also taken them to some community practice sites such as the hospice, Cottonwood Care Centre, Vernon Community Care, and other types of care facilities,” said McCullough. The focus is not to compare the differences between health care in the two countries, but to exchange ideas and methodology, said Bajwa. He noted that while they have similar labs in India, the students really liked the modern, multi-function human patient simulator labs at the

mentation is different,” she added. “It’s important to explore global health issues and how nursing is practiced in different countries. This partnership is a great opportunity to share ideas between our two institutions.”

NEWS ▼ INVASIVE MUSSELS
Regional district calls for boat inspections to help protect lake Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Both the federal and provincial governments should work together to
establish mandatory inspection stations and a public education program about the invasive zebra and quagga mussels, according to the Central
Okanagan Regional District. Board members approved a resolution last week to go forward to the Southern Interior Local Government Association conference to lobby senior governments to take action against the threat. CORD vice-chair Gail Given said their hope is that the regional association would approve the resolution and forward it to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, as it should be a provincial and national issue, not regional.
The resolution resulted from a presentation by the Okanagan Basin Water Board regarding the economic and ecological threat posed by the invasive mussels which could be transported from the eastern states and provinces and the southern U.S., where they have already caused billions of dollars in damage. It’s estimated if the two non-native species of mussel get into Okanagan waters, it could cost more than $42 million a year to try and manage the damage they would do here
to boats, aquatic infrastructure such as water intakes and sewage outfalls, beaches and tourism. “Bylaws in one area won’t protect the entire province, so this needs to be dealt with at a province-wide level,” commented Given. Because the international border is a control point, it would be logical to set up inspection stations there for incoming boats. That would prevent contaminated boats from bringing the larvae of the mussel into this province to contaminate
local waters. “An action plan is needed so they can’t get in,” Given explained. Once they’ve entered local waters, it’s almost impossible to eradicate them, and they propagate at a furious rate. One can grow to one million in a single growing season and trillions in three years, according to a report on the mussels completed this spring by local aquatic biologist Heather Larratt. She reported that they can forever alter a water body’s food web and cause bird and fish kills.
The OBWB is asking local councils and regional districts to approve resolutions calling for senior government action on this issue. A public meeting has been planned for this Thurs., Apr. 4, from 4 to 7 p.m. to talk about the issue of invasive zebra and quagga mussels and how to keep them out of the valley. Provincial legislation was passed in December with fines of $100,000 or a year in jail for transporting any stage of the mussel—alive or dead.

Quad drivers warned of new restrictions Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Warnings were issued Saturday to six people caught driving quads off designated routes within the new Garnet Valley closed area between Peachland and Summer-
land, Highway 97 and Garnet Valley. Conservation officer Jim Beck said none of the drivers were ticketed because they all were cooperative once enforcement staff talked to them about the new closed area, where motor vehicle use

is restricted between Jan. 1 and Apr. 30. In addition to Beck, there were other conservation officers out patrolling on the weekend as well. The concern is the area is a well-used mule deer winter and spring grazing area and overwintering deer are particularly vulnerable, Beck explained. The main north/south road through the area is open to traffic, but many illegal roads and trails are now closed, and the closure will be enforced, he said. Unfortunately, he said, he just missed a truck that had been mud bogging

Word of mouth will eventually get the information out there,” he commented. Plans are to increase the number and the size of signs warning drivers and riders of the new restrictions in the area, said Beck. Officers were out and about the remainder of the long weekend, patrolling other areas as well, but none could be reached for information by deadline Monday.

Construction begins on new West Kelowna sports field Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

OVERPASS PROTEST…An estimated 60 people lined the overpass over Highway 97 in Ke-
lowna Saturday for a NO to GMO rally organized by the True Food Foundation. The protesters carried signs and banners denouncing genetically-modified foods and invited people to sign petitions against the new, genetically-modified, non-browning Arctic Apple developed here in the Okanagan, as well as against GM alfalfa hay. Organizer Heidi Osterman said Health Canada hasn’t conducted any health studies on genetically-modified foods. “They rely on the studies done by companies that produce GMOs,” she said. The group collected more than 200 signatures against GMOs, which they will present to Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan.
Chopped trees lined the area surrounding the site of the future Rosewood Sports Field Thursday as politicians announced the official start of construction on the project. Rosewood Sports Field will be the first fullsize soccer facility in the north end of West Kelowna. “We have a shortage of playing fields in the district, we hear that all the time from the demographic that uses them,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. “West Kelowna identified this project as a priority in the 2012 budget… it will provide opportunities for practices, games and tournaments for about 1,100 children in the Westside youth soccer society, students in CentralOkanagan School District
and men and women who compete in adult soccer leagues.” The district will fund $508,000 of the $908,000 cost from its reserves. The Central Okanagan School District and the DWK have worked together on planning development of the site, which will include an adjacent elementary school. Both the school and field are set to open in September 2014. Central Okanagan Board of Education chair Moyra Baxter said the project serves of a good example what can be accomplished when governments combine resources. “Elementary school students will truly reap the benefits of this partnership by having access to a firstrate, full-size soccer field for physical education and play,” said Baxter. The provincial government is providing
$400,000 for the sports field construction through the Community Recreation Program. “A lot of times, there aren’t really the school facilities (available),” said Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart. “We transport our kids over to the Mission Sports Fields, out to Rutland or out to Lake Country. This is going to be a new opportunity for the Westside.” Stewart added the new West Kelowna field is the type of project the province had in mind when it announced $30 million in funding through the Community Recreation Program. “We wanted to support projects that support healthy living and community engagement for British Columbians. Fields like this play a significant role i n that.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

OC race to raise funds for new student award
When runners lace up for the 11th annual Okanagan College Half Marathon Sunday, April 7, they’ll be doing more than simply improving their hpersonal fitness—they’ll -be contributing to a brand new award for Okanagan eCollege students. The Okanagan College Half Marathon d Award is designed to recA ognize those students who sdemonstrate a deep commitment to, and involvedment in, sport, fitness or recreation in general, said race director Christine -Ulmer. “This new scholarship wwill provide one or more eannual awards of $1,000 -each for students who are tseriously engaged in makning fitness part of their -lives,” Ulmer said. - “That can involve participating in sports and recreation, but it could also mean volunteerism, dcoaching or even mentortship.” . The award has been -
established with $5,400 from proceeds raised from last year’s race. Proceeds raised from the non-profit event have always gone to support students, and will continue to do so. Funds raised in previous years have gone to various initiatives, such as treadmills for the Kelowna campus gym. “Now we want to take this commitment to promoting lifetime fitness and wellness by providing financial support to those students who are engaged in an active lifestyle whether at the local, provincial, national or even international level.” Registration is still open for half-marathon, 10-K and relay races, which begin between 8 and 8:15 a.m. at the KLO Road campus of Okanagan College. The half-marathon course will cover 21.1-km from the campus down along the scenic Abbott
Street corridor into City Park and up the first hill on Knox Mountain. Runners will then make their way back along the waterfront, finishing back at the KLO campus.
‘‘
THIS NEW SCHOLARSHIP WILL PROVIDE ONE OR MORE ANNUAL AWARDS OF $1,000 EACH FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE SERIOUSLY ENGAGED IN MAKING FITNESS PART OF THEIR LIVES.
The shorter distance course covers the same course and allows up to five runners to participate in segments of ap-
proximately four kilometres each. There is also a 10-km route, which takes runners along the same first and last portions of the marathon course with a turnaround in City Park. Prize money will be offered to the top three finishers in the male and female division of the half marathon. On each side, first place will receive $250, second place will take $150 and the third place finisher will receive $100. Prizes will also be offered to winners of the 10-kilometre and relay portion of the race. To register for the race, find out more about the course or to view entry fee deadlines, visit: www. okanagan.bc.ca/halfmarathon.

y e Two men from Armmstrong and Salmon Arm have been identified as the victims of a two-vehicle daccident on Highway 97 enorth of Oyama Sunday. n The head-on crash -between a northbound nChevrolet pickup and southbound Volvo station wagon occurred shortly before 2 p.m. on the highway north of the Bailey Road turnoff. “The crash happened
when the pickup crossed the centre line and struck the station wagon,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson. The driver of the truck, a 21-year-old Spallumcheen man, was taken to hospital by ambulance. His 19-year-old passenger, an Armstrong man, died at the scene. The driver of the Volvo, a 70-year-old Salmon Arm man, was also pronounced dead at the scene.
His 66-year-old wife was seriously injured and was flown to Kelowna General Hospital by air ambulance. She was in critical condition as of Monday morning. A small fire started in one of the vehicles but was extinguished very quickly by one of the police officers at the crash site.

HST debacle hurt more than wallet
T
he province’s doomed 18-month experiment with the Harmonized Sales Tax ended Monday. But while the hated HST has been demoted to the history books, for everyday British Columbians, little is expected to really change. Sure, the price of a restaurant meal or a haircut may be cheaper because they are not subject to the GST and, as such, will only have seven per cent PST applied, not the 12 per cent combination of PST and the five
per cent GST. But for most goods and the majority of services we will keep paying what we were paying before. And, it’s possible some prices may even rise as manufacturers once again are faced with the tax inputs they have to pay to make the goods we buy. But regardless of the financial bottom line, the HST debacle should serve as a warning to all governments to say what they mean and mean what they say.
When asked if an HST was planned for B.C., the Liberal government of former premier Gordon Campbell famously said it was “not on its radar.” That was, quite rightly, taken as a no. But soon after winning the last election, British Columbians got the HST. There was little if any consultation. The bottom line is the government was seen—rightly or wrongly—as not telling the truth. With the next provincial election just around the corner, it does not need any reminding
C
m a of the apparent break of trust p with those it is asking to vote for i r it May 14. a Many of the people who noww admit the whole issue was han- i
dled badly defended the tax, and the way it was introduced, back when the HST first came in. At a time when the economy could barely afford it, B.C.’s HST folly hurt more than politicians’ chances for re-election. It made the pubic even more e o sceptical about our political leaders. l And that hurts us all. a

Does selling off our resources make us an energy superpower?
E
nergy is on everyone’s minds these days. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is determined to make Canada an energy superpower, fuelled mostly by Alberta’s tar sands. Meanwhile, Alberta Premier Alison Redford, elected to lead a province with a strong economy, now finds energy price fluctuations are reducing provincial revenues. Saskatchewan is booming from oil, gas and uranium revenues, and B.C. Premier Christy Clark plans to vastly expand exploitation of liquefied natural gas,
which requires huge amounts of energy and involves the highly contentious practice of fracking. While Quebec Premier PauDavid line Marois mainSuzuki tains a moratorium on fracking, New Brunswick Premier David Alward claims it’s an energy opportunity for his province. Former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty’s progressive Green Energy Act is under serious attack, and Prime Minister Harper eagerly embraces exploration for oil as Arc-
SCIENCE MATTERS
tic sea ice and tundra melt from the warming climate. While the federal government demonizes environmentalists as “radicals” bent on derailing exploitation plans for the tar sands and other natural resources, opposition is rising against pipelines to transport Alberta’s diluted bitumen to the B.C. coast via Enbridge’s Northern Gateway or to Texas refineries via the Keystone XL. Much of the oil would be exported to countries like China, where the extreme negative effects of fossil fuel pollution are increasing daily. Politicians who want to make significant change must focus primarily on re-election if they are to see their
agendas come to fruition. That means they must respond to immediate economic demands while leaving longer-term problems like climate change and water issues on the back burner. Surely the enduring consequences of today’s actions or inactions must be a priority. We’ll be living with the ramifications of the current crop of politicians’ decisions and actions long after they’ve been relegated to history. Crisis is a powerful motivator, as we saw during the economic crash of 2008. In a matter of weeks, President George W. Bush and his successor, Barack Obama, committed hundreds of billions of dollars to bail out
banks and automobile companies – without imposing any conditions that might get them to change their ways. I was astounded at the speed and scale of these actions, compared to the ineffectual snail’s pace on ecological issues that threaten the survival of our species and our way of life and society. The science has been in for more than two decades: Human use of fossil fuels creating unprecedented levels of greenhouse gases is altering the chemistry of the atmosphere, leading to climate and weather effects that will be chaotic and devastating.

Use health centre site for municipal hall To the editor: Re: West Kelowna City Hall. I have a novel, or maybe even a revolutionary, idea. Why not use a portion of the land that is sitting idle and has already been purchased for a forthcoming hospital, which seems like it is still in the far distant future. That way, some of
the land can be utilized now instead of costing tax payers just to sit there. I would think that the area would be sizable enough to accommodate both facilities. When building the new City Hall, it might be an idea to build a two-storey building with the city hall portion being on the second floor and the low-
er level to be designated for shops. What business wouldn’t mind having that foot traffic passing their doors while people go about their business with City Hall. The other benefit of this would be once the cost of building has been paid, the shops would generate rental income for the municipality which
could be used to offset the cost of the operation of the building. As I see it, this would be a winning combination for the municipality, the businesses incorporated within the building and taxpayers . It might even turn out to be almost self-supporting through the rents paid. Another advantage
would be the project could be started much sooner as a big expenditure would not have to be made to buying any land and thus eliminate delays over pricing and the myriad of delays involved in possibly acquiring a pre-existing premise. John D. Grant, Kelowna
B.C. voters compared to aimless lemmings To the editor: Each time a B.C. provincial election gets close, I am reminded of the lemmings of Alaska. Every four years or so, these little furry rodents all run to a cliff and throw themselves into the Arctic Ocean in a mindless frenzy with no consideration of the consequence. Research has found no logical reason for this action other than repetitious instinct. Like the lemming, most of us run off to vote just because others are doing it, having no idea what we are doing except to exercise our right. Like the lemming most of us fail to understand what our real duty is when casting a ballot, so we drown in our own ignorance unaware of the depth of responsibility and power we are given to
do good in bettering our lives by removing that which damages us in favour of that which improves our lives if it is available or exists. Before we decide to vote we should take a moment to consider the past performance of government. How many promises have been broken and how many rights and privileges have disappeared. What happened to free B.C. hydro power and low auto insurance, which is now a nightmare. We were promised a citizens assembly and an end to the tyranny of ICBC. The list goes on. It seems to me that the provincial parties play a game with the public and each other for the next 4 years and nothing gets better or changes except the name of the government on parliament’s door in Victoria.
Is it just me or am I among the few who can see through the B.S. storm created by the political theatre every four years just to keep a very questionable system running in B.C.? Is simply exercising the right to vote for its own sake more important than who we put into power over us?? It’s been said “if you don’t vote, you can’t complain.” On the other hand, if you knowing put irresponsible and questionable government into power then spend the next four years complaining about it, how stupid is that? The lesser of the evils is not an acceptable reason to vote. Supporting a system that merely changes one elected dictatorship for another is futile, ideological idiocy and not democracy.
I, along with a few others, truly value the right to vote and understand the heavy responsibility in giving power only to those who truly deserve it or to withhold that power if no one can be found who is worthy. In conclusion, considering how the various governments have repeatedly betrayed the trust of the people of BC I am satisfied in the fact I for one have not been responsible for putting irresponsible people into power and I see no evidence that this will change under the current system. Therefore in as much as I would like to vote; once again I see no value or logic in being part of the pointless B.C. lemming run. Jack Bradcoe, Westbank

To the editor: In his column about the new ePassport, MP Ron Cannan enthusiastically states a five-year passport will cost $120. This is a prefect example of the “new taxation” model that governments increasingly use,
where charges for government services are set many times higher than the actual cost of providing the service. In the case of passports, as recently as the late 1980s, a five-year passport cost a mere $25. The effort needed to
issue a passport has not changed much since then, but it now costs almost five times more—an increase far higher than inflation. A similar situation occurs with drivers licenses. It is estimated that it costs the B.C. govern-
ment about $10 to process a drivers license, yet we are charged $85. This unconscionable “stealth taxation,” where government services are used as cash cows, has got to stop.
‘Stealth’ taxation criticized Future of energy in Canada will determine our fate Suzuki from A10 tinued increases in emissions will only exacerbate what is already an outof-control atmospheric transformation of the biosphere – our only home. We claim brainpower makes us superior to the rest of life on this planet. But what use is intelligence if we don’t use it to respond to threats and opportunities? After all, foresight was a great human attribute that brought us to a position of dominance on the planet. We used our knowledge and experiences to look ahead and recognize potential dangers and favourable circumstances so we could take some control
over our destiny by acting to avoid hazards and exploit possibilities. This is Canada’s moment. We are confronting a crisis with the economy and energy. No economy can grow forever; it is simply impossible on a finite planet. Shouldn’t we ask what an economy is for? How much is enough? What are the limits? How do we build a sustainable economy? We have learned from painful experience in single-resource communities that relying primarily on one major component of the economy – logging, fishing, mining – makes for dangerous boom-andbust cycles.
Nations that export fossil fuel too often become over-reliant on that sector. That destabilizes the economy (as we’re seeing in Alberta), distorts priorities (leading to the socalled “Dutch disease” where other parts of the economy are neglected or ignored) and undermines democracy by holding government hostage (as we saw in the enormous lobbying power of industry in the last U.S. presidential election). The future of energy in Canada will determine the fate of our society. It must be widely discussed, nationally as well as provincially, beyond the boundaries of politics
and economics. This is about the type of country we will leave to our children and grand-

Use your coffee break to clean-up your community At 10 a.m. this Wednesday morning a group of Starbucks employees from 12 coffee shops around town will use their breaks to go from making coffee, to picking up garbage. And they’re challenging you to use your coffee break and do the same. It’s all part of the 20-Minute Make Over sponsored by the regional waste reduction office, and the official kick off to Community Clean-Up Month in the Central Okanagan. “This will be the seventh annual 20-Minute Make Over, and we’re thrilled to have Starbucks on board this year” said waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart. “Over the years, literally thousands of people have participated in this event, from school groups to service organizations, church groups, families, coworkers, and friends. It’s inspiring to see that level of commitment!” Stewart said when you
see a huge group busy working along Highway 97 near Gordon Wednesday morning in their green Starbucks aprons, scurrying around with litter bags in hand, you’ll know what the big clean up blitz is about. “It’s just another great example of a local business showing community pride and corporate responsibility,” said Stewart. Starbucks team leader Shannon Le Blanc said the employees were keen to jump on the cleanup opportunity, as this is exactly the type of project Starbucks loves to support. “We’re committed to helping communities thrive wherever we do business,” said Le Blanc. “Our goal is to inspire our partners and invite our customers to get involved in volunteering opportunities year round.” She said the workers are challenging other businesses and individuals to get on board with either
the 20-Minute Make Over or Community Clean-Up Month. “It’s easy enough to pull together a quick 20 minutes and do something worthwhile. With the hundreds of local businesses in the area, imagine the difference we can all make by pitching in a mere coffee break,” said Le Blanc. “As for our Starbucks customers, you can even pop into our stores or ask at our drive-throughs for litter bags and gloves if you also want to join in on the fun.” If you can’t manage a cleanup on Wednesday as part of the 20-Minute Make Over, you’re reminded the entire month of April is officially Community Clean-Up Month. To arrange your own cleanup and get free litter bags and gloves, and arrange to have the garbage you collect picked up when you’re done, contact the regional waste reduction office at 250-4696250.

day. Soles4Souls started in here four years ago when Jim Belshaw of Roy’s Shoe Repair was moved by the devastation caused by the earthquake in Haiti. That first year, a lofty goal of 25,000 gently used shoes in 25 days (12,500 pairs) was announced. After the locals
opened their hearts and closets more than 45,000 pairs of shoes were collected. And now, as the fourth annual shoe drive begins, organizers already have 45,000 pairs of gently used shoes, gathered since last year. “It is such a simple and easy thing to do. I
think that is why so many men, women and children across this country have embraced our shoe drive. We all have so much and so many pairs of unworn shoes in our closets,” said Belshaw. Shoes can be dropped off at any McDonalds, Starbucks or Capri Insurance office.

B.C. returns to the Provincial Sales Tax and the federal GST Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA—The brief era of the harmonized sales tax ended in B.C. Monday, with a lastminute scramble by thousands of businesses to register as collectors of the revived provincial sales tax. About 100,000 businesses in B.C. are required to register and collect PST from customers. By the Easter weekend,
about 80,000 of them had done so, said Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for small business. “I think what most consumers will be doing is looking at their receipts,” Yamamoto said Sunday. “In most cases they’ll be paying the same as they did prior to April 1, unless you’re getting your hair cut, or buying a ski ticket or you’re paying your golf membership or going to a restaurant, or
buying a bike.” The good news for barbers, bike shops, restaurants and other labour service providers is that they see a seven per cent tax reduction. The bad news is that they have to administer two sales taxes, the PST and the five per cent GST, which continues to apply to goods and services. There are a few anomalies, such as insulation and weatherstripping, where sales tax falls by
seven per cent as historic PST exemptions resume Monday, but most retail purchases will remain subject to both GST and PST at a combined rate of 12 per cent. Yamamoto said businesses can register online by going to www.pstinbc. ca or www.gov.bc.ca/pst and selecting the registration link. Using incorporation documents, the process should take about 15 minutes. Business owners who
don’t register immediately can still correct transactions made after the deadline, because the first online remittance of PST is expected at the end of May. Premier Christy Clark marked the transition with a video, reminding business operators to register. Clark noted that the HST was a benefit to the film industry, manufacturers and other businesses that benefited from input tax credits.
in restaurants and other service purchases. Tobacco taxes went up by seven per cent with the HST, and that tax will remain. Liquor taxes have also been adjusted to be unchanged with either tax, although restaurants will pay increased tax on liquor sales with the return to PST. A separate seven per cent tax on private use vehicle purchases also remains in place.

Robert Smithson audition for a job, revealing an individual’s true skills, attitude and ability to fit in. In my view, there simply is no substitute for viewing an individual on
the job in real work situations. But probation periods don’t just happen by magic. The employer must take certain steps to ensure it has gained the benefit of a probation period. The employer and employee should agree, in writing, prior to the commencement of the employment, on the terms of a binding probationary period. There are numer-
ous preferred components of an enforceable probation clause. First, the parties should define the standard of review—often the standard adopted will be “suitability” for ongoing employment. That’s a bit of a fancied-up way of saying the employee must be a good fit for the job. Second, because suitability is a somewhat hazy standard, the parties should then go a step fur-
ther and set out the primary criteria by which the employee will be measured. These might include, for instance, attitude, compatibility with co-workers and clients, ability to follow directions, demonstrated progress in acquiring the necessary skills of the job, good attendance, overall efficiency and output, adherence to company policies, etc. Third, the length of
the probation period should be clearly stated. The period is sometimes defined in terms of time worked rather than just the passage of calendar time (because time on the job is what’s required to assess the individual’s suitability for continued employment). I prefer to define the probation period using the words found in the B.C. Employment Standards Act, being the first

▼ SMITHSON
Probationary employees must be given chance to succeed Smithson from A17 agreed-upon criteria. A good rule of thumb is that there should be at least one interim review of the employee’s performance and conduct before the final decision on suitability is made. During the probation period, the employer should be pro-active in counseling the employee on her shortcomings. This eliminates surprises for the employee when the final review is performed. Specific instructions should be provided to the employee on achieving the desired standard. All of this should, of course, be documented. Finally, the employer should conduct a final
review, making a reasonable decision about suitability, prior to the expiry of the probation period. Court decisions indicate employers should, to whatever degree is possible, apply objective criteria in performing a good faith assessment of the probationary employee. A recent B.C. Supreme Court decision demonstrates that a probation period doesn’t give the employer a carte blanche entitlement to ditch the employee at the first opportunity. Geller was hired on probationary status by Sable Resources Ltd. in 2010 after completing a pre-apprenticeship program in heavy mechanics. While Sable was aware that Geller did not
yet have his heavy duty mechanic’s journeyman ticket, it seemed to think he was farther along in that process than he actually was.
‘‘
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO THE EMPLOYEE ON ACHIEVING THE DESIRED STANDARD.
Sable’s hiring letter for Geller stated “Your first three months of employment is considered probationary. Permanent employment will be determined based on mutual
satisfaction and job performance.” A situation soon arose in which Sable needed Geller to work in unsupervised circumstances. This would have been contrary to industry requirements that an apprentice receive training and practical experience under the direction of a qualified, certified tradesperson. Geller informed Sable that he was willing to continue to work in a situation in which there was a qualified heavy duty mechanic available to give him the “agreed apprentice training and prac-
tical experience.” Sable terminated Geller’s probationary employment and, in turn, Geller sued for wrongful dismissal. The B.C. Supreme Court stated that “a probationary employee must be given an opportunity to demonstrate his ability to meet the standard the employer set out” at the time of hiring. It found that Sable and Geller did not have a common understanding of their respective “roles relative to the apprenticeship or the degree of supervision available or required.” The Court went on to
state that it was incumbent upon Sable to “make its expectations clearer to [Geller] than it did”. Geller, it found, did not “have a reasonable opportunity to demonstrate his suitability for the job”. His claim of wrongful dismissal was upheld and damages were awarded. The point the Geller and Sable Resources Ltd. case drives home is that the employer can’t make an arbitrary decision to terminate a probationary employment relationship. It must apply rational thought to the decision and make a reason-
able decision, in all the circumstances, about the employee’s future. Utilized properly, the probation period is a powerful legal mechanism in the employer’s favour. Applied poorly, it’s a basis for a claim for damages by a jilted former employee. This subject matter is provided for general informational purposes only and is not intended as legal advice.

BUSINESS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS
Ways to make you, and your venture, more investor friendly
I
have spent many hours over my career working with entrepreneurs who have wrestled with the notion of seeking investment for their entrepreneurial dream from a variety of sources and experiencing the pain of trying to get their presentation “ just right” with the hope of nailing the investment of their required dollars. When I recall about what it takes to succeed and investors on what they look for when they invest in an entrepreneurial startup, I find myself always coming to a set of “fundamentals” that really hasn’t changed all that significantly over the many years since my journey in the entrepreneurial world began from back in the late 1980s. Passion is critical and your excitement has to be intoxicating enough
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young (above and beyond your business plan and your perception of an excellent venture idea) to make others believe in your dream just as much as you do. This will also be the key to finding great employees, connected board members should you need and generous funders. Once you take that step in the direction of the entrepreneurial world, you’re on a 24-hour call selling your concept, its viability and it’s future. A convincing case can only be delivered by a true believer, investors do
want to fund greed. They do want to fund a revolution – your passion, my friends will make the difference generally. Want funding? The quality of the management team you have assembled will make or break you. Your top employees’ credentials show that you’re ready (or not) for whatever the economy, markets, or eventually the competition throws your way for the new venture. Your new team also needs to be flexible – able to adapt to wherever the new company’s perceived growth may take you. This is particularly key in the “ seed-capital” phase when investors bet on unproven venture concepts based on their “gut-feel” about a team – your team. Your big idea—your concept—needs to be different and useful.
Investors generally want to fund firsts, not variations on a theme. They also want to fund winners understandably, companies that are positioned to get major market share quickly and with the potential for a good story to tell thereafter. For example, your venture idea is defensible, difficult to duplicate or compete against as is patent-ready ideas. Your insight into the market you wish to enter is paramount for the investment community. Become an industry expert, verify that no one else is in your way and explore what has kept others from the breakthrough you are anticipating. Master your competitive landscape and show to the investors how your new venture is destined to benefit from economic
and market trends in front of you. But, also you will need to have some sense of what lies ahead on the horizon so that your new entrepreneurial dream isn’t about to become obsolete shortly after hitting the marketplace. Simply put, the investors you are courting want to know that you, not they, have covered all the angles. So, let’s go now into the ever-popular, everpresent, business plan. This road map has taken many a soul over its hills and valleys to success and failure over the years of its importance and relevance and remains at the cusp of an entrepreneurs entre’ to investors’ thresholds. The business plan shouldn’t merely talk about your new dream, but how you’ll make it grow and make money for the investors. The executive summary is the single most important component and requires the plan to be “boiled down” to an incredibly clear 2 page document that hooks the readers in to your venture needs. Complementary to an excellent executive summary and I have seen many a good business plan fall by the wayside
without this next ingredient. You will absolutely require a great venture management team description – your team’s experience and track record needs to comfort potential investors including your bankers. Honest financials also make a difference – a complete competitive analysis and reasonable assumptions should support your claims. Breezy optimism is a definite turn-off to your investor s. Entrepreneurs are often guilty, in their eagerness to get started building their company, of seeking out investors of all kinds before they are prepared to present their deal or carry on effective negotiations. Angel investors, for example, often have a great deal of business experience and can ask the kinds of probing, difficult questions that can quickly puncture inflated projections or poorly thought out strategies. Also, and this will bring a smile and knowing nod to your face, entrepreneurs invariably emphasize bringing money into the new venture; investors are quite reasonably interested in getting capital out of the company they have invested. Hence, unless an
entrepreneur can convince an investor that a lucrative exit is possible within a reasonable timeframe, the deal is likely not to be embraced and get done by that particular investment source. As an associate of mine frequently says to our clients, don’t try and wing it with angel investors. It doesn’t work. Lastly, be aware that decisions made by potential investors for entrepreneurial new ventures are not made, in my opinion, on a cut- and-dried basis. Often, investors, particularly, private ones operate in an environment where the crystal ball can get extremely cloudy at times and must rely on their instincts honed through the many years of being on the firing line within their own worlds. Therefore, my existing and aspiring entrepreneurs of the Okanagan landscape, be the best that you can be in your research, preparation and venture planning in order to make you investor-friendly.

Rockets in survival mode in WHL playoffs Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Twice the Kelowna Rockets have stared down elimination from the 2012-13 Western Hockey League post-season. On Tuesday night in Kent, Wash., Ryan Huska’s club will try to perform the feat a third straight time against the Seattle Thunderbirds to force a seventh and deciding game in the Western Conference quarterfinal series. “Obviously every game now for us is critical, we don’t have that cushion to falter so we have to play desperate hockey,” said Huska, the Rockets head coach. “We’re headed into a big challenge down there, it’s like a Game 7 situation with the season on the line. We have to have the same approach we’ve had the last two games, play hard as a team and try bring it back to Kelowna.” After stunning losses in each of the first three games overtime, the injury-plagued Rockets have delivered backto-back victories to stay
afloat, the latest a 4-3 verdict on Saturday night at Prospera Place. With six players out of the lineup—including captain Colton Sissons for the remainder of the WHL playoffs—the Rockets have had to lean on their depth, a key to the team’s success throughout a record-setting 52-win season. Huska and his staff have had to call on the team’s younger players, such as Cole Linaker, Austin Glover and Justin Kirkland, to fill the void and keep four lines rolling. “We’re not going to change that (four lines), we’ve done that all year, so going to 2 1/2 or three lines doesn’t make sense at this time of year,” Huska said. “Seattle’s going to continue to push and come at us, so we need to use our depth like we have been.” Only one team in WHL history, the 1996 Spokane Chiefs, has ever recovered from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series. The Rockets are, not surprisingly, hoping to become the second.

“We still feel confident, we know the way we need to play and when we do put in the effort we know we’re tough to beat,” said 20-year-old
forward Dylen McKinlay. “We think it’s (Seattle’s) Game 7 down there and we know they don’t want to come back to Kelowna.”
Above all, Huska said his players still have faith that coming back all the way is attainable. “The belief is still there, the guys have hung
on to that all along,” Huska said. “When things don’t go your way, you have to keep your spirit and the players have done a good job of that.”
If the Rockets win Tuesday night, a seventh and deciding game would be played Wednesday at Prospera Place. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Career winds down for Warriors’ homegrown captain Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Growing up in West Kelowna, he often dreamed of playing with his hometown Warriors. Now, in his fourth and final season with the BCHL club, Max French’s memorable junior A career is on the verge of coming to a close. This week, the West Kelowna captain and inspirational leader hopes his last hurrah in Warriors’ colours will be marked by a series comeback against the defending national champion Penticton Vees. Win or lose, the 20-year-old French plans to thoroughly enjoy his last days as a Warrior. “I’ve spent a good chunk of my life in this uniform, so really the whole season has been a reflection for me,” said French who led the team
in playoff scoring through seven games with six goals and nine points. “It’s been a really great year, we’ve had a ton of success as a team and hopefully we can keep it going.” A knee injury deprived the Warriors of French’s services for two months this season, but the 5-foot-10, 180-pound forward still managed to put up 21 goals and 53 points in 39 games. And it’s not just on the ice where French has had a significant impact. The Warriors’ captain since January 2012, French has had more than a passing effect on the B.C. Hockey League club and its fans. “Max is the face of the franchise,” said Warriors’ coach and GM Rylan Ferster. “He’s a pretty loved guy in West Kelowna and he’s handled it very well. He’s been front and centre in the community, signs autographs for the kids and is just a really good spokesman for the team and
for junior hockey.” As for French’s influence in both the dressing room and on the ice, Ferster says his value can’t be overestimated. “He’s been great, he’s the guy who makes our team go,” Ferster said. “Max is Max French the heart and soul of our team, he’s our captain and he leads by example.” Next season, French will head to Boston to pursue a scholarship opportunity at Bentley University, an NCAA Div. 1 school.
As exciting as the prospects of the next chapter of his hockey life are, French remains focused on the task at hand—the BCHL playoffs. On the subject of his career with the Warriors, French insists it’s a phase of his life he’ll never forget. “As soon as the Warriors came (2006) I was in the stands cheering at their games,” said French, a Mt. Boucherie grad. “When I first made the team, it was amazing to be playing for them, it’s a great organization. We’ve had great fan support, great support from the community and it’s been an honour to be able to give back.” French is one of nine players who will graduate from the Warriors at the end of the 2012-13 season. French and the Warriors will host Penticton in Game 4 of the BCHL Interior Conference final 7 p.m. Tuesday at Royal LePage Place.

Bears’ Urlacher commits to Concordia Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Senior Curtis Urlacher was a key figure in the Mt. Boucherie Bears’ first ever unbeaten regular season in B.C. high school football. Now the 18-year-old linebacker from Peachland is ready to take his skills and passion for the game to a new level. Urlacher will head east to Montreal later this year to play football and pursue an education at Concordia University. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound linebacker chose Concordia over other scholarship offers from St. Francis Xavier, Carlton and Queens. “I’ve heard great things about (Concordia), they have a good history of academics there, a good football program and I really like the school,” said Urlach-
er. “It’s a nice city, too, so that helps a lot.” Urlacher, who will be enrolled in the biology program at CU, also received positive reviews about the school from Paul Spencer, a Boucherie grad and Peachland product. Spencer played three seasons with the Stingers and is now a member of the Concordia coaching staff. For Urlacher, who began playing the game at nine, the 2012 football season was by far his best and most memorable to date. In addition to helping lead the Bears to a 6-0 regular season record, Urlacher was named the Okanagan defensive MVP and was a provincial all-star. He was also the defensive MVP for Team East in the B.C. Senior Bowl, and played with Team B.C. against Team USA at the FBU

MT. BOUCHERIE’S Curtis Urlacher, here being presented with top defensive player honours at the B.C. Senior Bowl last month, has accepted a scholarship to play football at Concordia University in Montreal. International Bowl in San Antonio, Texas.
Mt. Boucherie head coach Mike Godwin says
players with the combination of Urlacher’s work ethic, passion and athleticism are few and far between. “Curtis came in as a young guy and really bought into our program. He didn’t skip workouts or miss practice, and competed in every drill. He did all the right things, and this really separated him from a lot of his peers,” said Godwin. “You can’t really tell how a Grade 9 or 10 football player will turn out, but when a kid comes along who is determined to be better than everyone else, and is willing to sacrifice to get there, that hard work always pays off and Curtis is a testament to that.” From his very first his days on the gridiron, Urlacher has heard the inevitable references to National Football League great Brian Urlacher, a linebacker with the Chica-
go Bears. And while Curtis has long been a big fan and admirer of the future Hall of Fame player, it isn’t the main reason he chose to play the same position. “It started when I first played tackle football, the coaches would place me at linebacker and that I should wear his number (54),” said Urlacher, who wore No. 40 his last season in high school. “It started out that way, but now I play there mostly because I just love the position. I’ve played just about everywhere on the field, linebacker is where I feel most comfortable and the one I enjoy. Every coach says they can tell I love playing there.” Like all players graduating from high school, Urlacher knows the transition to the CIS game won’t be an easy one. But it’s a step Urlacher is excited about taking.
“I’m looking forward to getting back playing again and looking forward to the challenge of making the jump to the CIS,” he said. “I’ve done what I can do in high school, now it’s time to try the next level. It’ll be nice to be a young kid again, like I was my first year in high school and starting at the beginning. “(Boucherie coach) Mike Godwin prepares us well for taking that next step,” Urlacher added. “It’ll be hard, but I’m excited.” In the big picture, Urlacher hopes to play at least four seasons at Concorida then, if all goes as planned, have his named called in the CFL draft. “It’s a dream of mine, to play pro,” he said. Urlacher expects to head to Montreal to begin his university experience in early August.

Over his professional career “Doc” made a lasting, positive impression on the many colleagues he worked with both locally and around the world. First Transit, Kelowna office and BC Transit will never be the same. Mike took great enjoyment in singing at church, gardening for his wife, and refereeing football; but lamented the fact that he had to hang up his fly fishing rod when he could no longer fish Lakelse Lake in Terrace, BC. His 46 year transit career is what he was most proud of. “Doc” was passionate about safety for riders and drivers. He leaves as part of his legacy his co-authorship of the Canadian Safety in Transit manual. Mike was anchored by a deep Christian faith and profound love of his family. He always put others ahead of himself. He will be deeply missed. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 6th at Evangel Church 3261 Gordon Drive Kelowna, BC at 1:00 pm.

SENIOR AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD CROSS BLUE HEELER NEUTERED MALE
Bailey is a very sweet dog who loves life. He would make a great companion for someone who likes to walk because he is excellent on a leash. He is good with children of all ages, loves car rides and is good with other dogs. He is gentle, playful and friendly - an all around super dog. He also loves his food… which is evident by his few extra pounds! But with regular walking, he should quickly slim down. Baily is quickly becoming a favourite of both staff and volunteers alike. He knows who to “Shake a Paw” and is just an all around love-bug.

ADULT AMERICAN BULLDOG CROSS PIT BULL TERRIER NEUTERED MALE
Pete is good looking and he knows it! This 3 year old American bull dog mix is a strong, healthy, muscular boy looking for an experienced owner. Pete knows basic obedience commands, such as sit, lay down, shake a paw, etc. He is a large dog who can sometimes become jumpy when he is excited, because of this we recommend that he goes to a home with no children or only children over the age of 13. Pete LOVES to play in the yard with us but also enjoys cuddle time. He doesn’t know his own size and would be happy to lie on your lap if he could. Pete doesn’t mind the company of other dogs but he is selective and would prefer to share his home with bigger dogs if needed and with a confident, experienced owner who can provide lots of fun social time.
YOUNG ADULT PIT BULL CROSS GERMAN SHEPHERD SPAYED FEMALE
Stella was surrendered to the shelter in order for us to find her a more suitable home. Stella is a sweet and playful 1 year old female pitty/shepherd mix. She is very confident with her good looks. She’s very affectionate and knows some basic cues and responds very well to all of them. Stella enjoys swimming, fetch and playing with other dogs during daily play groups. She prefers to be active and is always waiting on the next fun activity to come along. She is entertaining as she tries to crawl in your lap for a cuddle. We’ve lost some work time in the playground participating in a game of fetch with Stella! She would much prefer a home where she is the center of attention without cats or small animals. If you’re looking for a young, fun and committed companion to love then she is your girl!

Jazz is a very active, energetic dog who loves people and other dogs. He loves car rides but not cats! He is the type of dog who will need to burn off his energy on a daily basis. Jazz is a smart dog who wants and needs a challenge. He would be best suited for an active household. He has been described by his previous owner as a combination of friendly, affectionate, playful and also very obedient and cuddly. Jazz would probably like to go to a home where he has another canine friend to keep him company and play with him.
OK I’m just darn cute! I have been in a loving Foster Home for about a month now and am ready to go to my forever home. I have been well socialized and just about house trained. You will, of course need to continue with all the necessary puppy training, but you will be quickly rewarded with a truly lifetime loyal companion. If you would like to meet me, please speak with the Kelowna SPCA Staff for a one-on-one introduction. I will quickly win your heart!

My name is Magoo and I was brought to the shelter when a kind person saw how matted I was. No owner has come to claim me, so I am now eagerly awaiting my forever family! I am very cuddly and I LOVE to purr! I would suit a home with older children as too much commotion startles me, but I am quick to understand that people mean good things and I love to interact. If you would like to meet me, please ask Staff for an introduction,
Hello there… my name is Lola and I was found as a stray. I am very sweet and people (only) oriented! I love to push my head into your hand purring away all the while. Rolling over is also a favorite thing of mine! I would suit a home with a family who likes a calm, friendly cat who absolutely loves interaction. I would be good with children as well. If you would like to meet me, please ask Staff for an introduction.

ADULT LABRADOR RETRIEVER CROSS NEUTERED MALE
Nicholas is an incredibly handsome 5 year old lab mix. He is a big, strong, muscular guy looking for an experienced owner. Nicholas LOVES to hang out with people and has lots of energy to burn. When he gets excited, his whole body wiggles, from his big meatball head all the way down to his wiggly butt. Nicholas is a take charge kind of guy and wouldn’t mind living with a large tolerant dog who doesn’t mind being his sidekick, that is if you are prepared to handle two big dogs. Labs are known to exhibit “puppy-like” behaviour well into their older years, Nicholas is no exception to this. He would prefer a home without small dogs, cats or other small animals. He is a very intelligent dog and would benefit greatly from attending a basic obedience class.

I came to the shelter in hopes of finding a forever home with a loving, social family. I have been with one owner my entire life (I came from the Vernon SPCA when I was a kitten) and I love to show my adoration! I have never been outdoors and would prefer an indoor only lifestyle as a luxurious lap cat. I love to be groomed and fussed over, in fact I do better with the attention! If you would like to meet me, please ask Staff for an introduction.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen healthy snacks If you can’t eat or don’t like peanut butter, then don’t read this column, because it’s all about creating yummy, good-for-you snacks quickly, using peanut butter. All these recipes were contributed by the people at Adams, and since I’m a huge fan of their all-natural peanut butter, I was grateful for these great ideas for healthy, simple-to-make snacks. For years, we have used nothing but Adams peanut butter in our house because there’s nothing added to it except a bit of salt, if that’s the one you choose to buy. It’s delicious and far healthier than those with added sugar and oils. Each of these bars or balls can be individually wrapped in plastic film and set into a freezer bag or box until needed. None of them need to be cooked, so even a youngster could make them, and they’re quick to put together. Now that spring and sunny weather have finally arrived, it’s time to get outside and enjoy hiking, gardening, biking or whatever suits your fancy. Along with those activities is the need to have a quick, healthy snack to carry with you for an energy boost when you begin to tire. The following recipes make snacks that are also great to toss out the door when the kids are playing in the yard. Unfortunately, there are youngsters who are allergic to peanuts, so do be cautious about whether you’re able to send these off to school in the kids’ lunch boxes. For more recipes for healthy snacks, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, wherever books are sold.
Fruit & Nut Balls
These look like quick and easy pick-me-ups for active outdoors people. 1/2 c. (125 ml) smooth peanut butter 2 tbsp. (30 ml) maple syrup 1 c. (250 ml) chopped mixed salted nuts 1/2 c. (125 ml) oats 1/4 c. (60 ml) vanilla protein powder 1/4 c. (60 ml) dried cranberries 1/4 c. (60 ml) dried blueberries 1/4 c. (60 ml) dried cherries
JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
Dark Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Cherry & Nut Bars
Combine all ingredients. Shape into balls and refrigerate for three hours or overnight. Makes about 22 balls.
Sesame PB Date Bites
These look easy and delicious.
1 c. (250 ml) pitted dates 1/2 c. (125 ml) smooth peanut butter 1/2 c. (125 ml) finely chopped peanuts 2 tbsp. (30 ml) toasted sesame seeds Puree dates in food processor. Add peanut butter and mix until wellcombined. Remove from food processor and knead in peanuts. Shape into balls and roll in toasted seeds. Refrigerate overnight. You may add up to 2 tbsp. (30 ml) of your favourite chocolate or vanillaflavoured protein powder. Makes about 20 bites.
These are very quick and easy to make and no baking is required. You may make substitutions wherever it suits, as long as the basic quantities remain the same. For instance, use a mix of dried fruits, such as cranberries and blueberries as well as cherries or use dark chocolate chips instead of solid chocolate so you won’t need to chop it. Personally, I think these would be better without the jam, but I used our homemade red currant jam and it was tasty, but altogether too sweet. 1 c. (250 ml) smooth peanut butter 1 c. (250 ml) oats 1/4 c. (60 ml) honey 1/2 c. (125 ml) dried cherries
1/2 c. (125 ml) chopped toasted almonds 1/2 c. (125 ml) chopped dark chocolate 1/2 c. (125 ml) fruit jam Microwave peanut butter for 80 to 90 seconds, or until warm, in a medium-sized bowl. Stir in oats, honey, cherries and almonds. Let it cool slightly, if needed, then mix in the chopped chocolate or chips, allowing it to melt slightly together. Press half the mixture into an eight-inch pan, lined with foil. Spread the fruit spread or jam over the top until all is covered. Spread the remaining oat mixture on top, pressing to smooth it. Refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight. Cut into 16 bars.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen
There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste
*I generally use sea salt *fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs
*fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh *I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
