Fire evacuees endure a second indignity Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Knowing their home and irreplaceable belongings were just a stone’s throw away from remnants of flames that incinerated three Peachland houses has been difficult enough. But Wednesday morning, Louise and Terry Mains had a new layer of grief added to their evacuee experience. “We’re booked in to the Super 8 Hotel, and they’ve said they had good surveillance all night, but when I got up to go to my chiropractic appointment this morning our truck, with its camper, was gone,” said Louise Mains. The couple—whose home is on Desert Pines Road and

within view of the three Coldham Road houses that burnt down Sunday—were holidaying on Vancouver Island when fire broke out in their neighbourhood. “Our children told us about the fire. It was scary, watching it from afar, so we left our friends, took the ferry home and drove immediately here,” Louise said, adding her neighbourhood friends have shown her pictures of flames licking the perimeter of their property, to drill home how close they came to losing everything. “We knew we weren’t getting a thing out of our house, and we’ve had to worry about irreplaceable valuables because we didn’t think of them when we left—we never dreamt a fire

would happen, it didn’t cross our minds.” What they did have to lessen the sting of what could be, however, was a truck and camper filled with living supplies and various other belongings. “It’s a really good truck and an amazing camper,” said Louise. “We really didn’t need this on top of that scare.” The Mains have been told by other hotel guests that there was a noise at about 12:30 or 1 a.m., and they’re assuming that was the sound of their truck leaving. “It’s a diesel truck, so that was probably it,” she said. The thief has yet to be caught, although police are looking. Meantime, the Mains are

hoping for the best and still finding a way to be gracious about their situation. “We’re very fortunate that we have a house,” she said. “We’re so thankful to the firefighters that saved our home.” Mains and the other 200plus Peachland residents in the evacuation zone were given the green light to return home 5 p.m. Wednesday after approximately 65 fire trouble spots highlighted that morning were brought under control. However, their return is likely to be bittersweet. Officials have said homeowners in the Coldham Road area should be aware there was an extensive power outage during the time they were out of their homes on evacuation or-

Over the objections of Lake Country council, the head of water allocation for this region for the province has granted water licences on the district’s main reservoirs to a number of owners of recreational leases on lots on Crown land. Lake Country Mayor James Baker said the reservoir’s water is already fully licensed, so to add new licensees goes against the Water Act. He said the district intends to appeal the decision. In a letter dated Aug. 21 to the district, Conrad Pryce, assistant regional water manager, says there is water available to meet the licensed demand and the quantity of water involved is “insignificant relative to the total reservoir volume.” Instead of licences for water for the whole year, he approved restricted licences from May 1 to Oct. 31. Other conditions included the licence being only for when the reservoir is more than 30 per cent full; only for the term of the Crown lease

NEWS ▼ TREPANIER FIRE Fire provides interface lessons Parrot Island birds survive fire stress for the Valley Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

It’s only been a few days since Peachland’s Keith Fielding found himself balancing the roles of evacuee and mayor of a town in crisis. But he’s already been able to glean a couple lessons from the experience. “We’re quite fortunate. This could have been a major disaster,” Fielding said Tuesday, standing on the 8th hole at the Ponderosa golf course, looking over a ledge above the Trepanier Valley that clearly outlines where the fire was stymied in its march toward the city. “This builds on the strength of understanding of how to deal with an interface area. Had (fire) gone through (here), it would have kept going through town.” A plateau of rocky land is seemingly where the flames were stopped from spreading over the lower slopes of Pincushion Mountain and reaching the neighbourhoods off Ponderosa Drive, but that’s not the full story. Fist-sized embers were picked up by the wind, and dropped onto the course-under-construction, but they had little traction due to initiatives born out of the 2003 Okanagan Mountain fire. Course owner Norm Porter explained the municipality insisted upon fuel management when the development was approved, which has meant pine cones and fallen branches have continually been cleared from the forested areas between the fairways and greens. Pruning and removing underbrush is also a key part of course upkeep. The relevance of those initiatives, said Porter, was put to test this weekend, and passed with flying colours. “Fire would race through the grass on the bottom, but it wouldn’t remain long enough to catch the trees on fire,” Porter explained. That’s not to say it wasn’t touch and go for awhile, he said. The show home on the course is just being completed, and was just a stone’s throw away from flames. Luckily, it was spared, as were many of the homes on the other side of the ridge. On Wednesday, the fire was at 95 per cent containment and the final evacuation order was lifted at 5 p.m., but residents returning to their homes were reminded they’d be on Evacuation Alert and should be prepared to leave their homes with little or short notice. Officials also warned that there’s still active fire suppression work continuing, and it’s best to stay out of the way of emergency vehicles and crews. Night patrols involving the RCMP, as well as structural fire crews and BC Wildfire Management fire fighters, will continue until the fire is completely snuffed out and residents may continue to notice visible smoke rising from the fire site. The District of Peachland has opened a recovery office to support Peachland residents who have been affected by the Trepanier Forest Fire. The office is located in the Peachland municipal office at 5806 Beach Avenue and is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents with questions or needing assistance should email firerecovery@peachland.ca or call 250-7676055, ext.120. Residents looking for information regarding aerial fire retardant on their properties can contact ICL at 1-250-554-3530, or via their website at www.phoschek.com.

The birds of Parrot Island are recuperating after a stressful last few days when flames encroached upon their dwelling. Ray Parkes, owner of the exotic bird sanctuary, said events unfolded quickly Sunday night. “We were in the house and my wife said she thought she could smell smoke,” said Parkes. “I looked out the window and saw the smoke, so I drove down to Star Place and there was a policeman already there. I said, ‘Is it going to be bad?’ He said, ‘I think so.’” Parkes headed back to Parrot Island. Family and friends helped him, and his wife Valerie, seal up the parrot house to prevent smoke from getting in. “There was no time to get them out and with the amount of smoke that was around, it wouldn’t be good for them to come out and breathe in that smoke.” Parkes said the parrot house is not surrounded by trees. It has a metal roof, metal sides and metal on the walls inside. Therefore, he was optimistic that the fire wouldn’t get too close to the building. As an extra precaution, he put a few sprinklers on to dampen the ground surrounding the building.

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

HANNAH, a 37-year-old Hyacinth, perches on the arm of Ray Parkes, owner of Parrot Island. Parkes was forced to leave his birds during the Trepanier fire evacuation earlier this week. He said the experience was stressful for the parrots, but other than that they are in good health. When Parkes was ordered to evacuate, he was upset and didn’t want to leave the previously abandoned exotic birds he had helped rescue. He wasn’t the only one concerned about the situation. Parrot Island was flooded with e-mails and phone calls from those concerned about the birds. Parkes said people from as far away as Calgary were offering their assistance. “My wife and I were overwhelmed with the

support.” The evacuation order was reduced to an alert for Parrot Island Tuesday, so Parkes was permitted to come back and look after his birds. The exotic bird sanctuary, located on MacKinnon Road, takes in abandoned parrots from throughout Canada and attempts to find them a home with a suitable owner. According to Parkes, Parrot Island is not a profitable business. If it

weren’t for donations, it would be difficult for he and his wife to keep the sanctuary running. “Our mandate here at Parrot Island is to educate people, mostly children. These birds should be left in the wild where they’re supposed to be. If we can educate another generation…maybe we can save some from becoming extinct.” Parkes will reopen the sanctuary Friday. He kept it closed during the week to give the birds time to

get back into their routines. He said he’s very appreciative of the work done by crews battling the blaze. “The RCMP, the firefighters and the pilots of the planes and helicopters did a marvelous job.” Parkes said he plans to get rid of some of the trees on his property to create a fire break in case another blaze starts in his neighbourhood in the future. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Dispute sends Kelowna man to hospital A Kelowna man is in custody and another was sent to the hospital after a dispute between the two men turned violent Tuesday morning. On Sept. 11 at 8:45 a.m., the Kelowna RCMP received a complaint of an assault involving a gun on the 2300 block of Richter Street. Apparently, a dispute between two men suddenly turned violent when the resident, a 31-yearold Kelowna man, brandished a handgun and struck the other man with it. The 44-year-old Kelow-

Favou rite Thing #04

na man suffered non-life threatening injuries and was later taken to hospital for treatment. The 31-year-old man was taken into custody and efforts were made Tuesday afternoon to retrieve the firearm from the home.

KID ROBBED OF RIDE A Kelowna boy is having to find another means of transportation after he was robbed of his scooter by two older boys on Monday night.

The Kelowna RCMP received a report of a robbery on Cactus Road in Rutland, Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. “Apparently, two older boys jumped the 13-year-old from behind, held his arms and snatched his scooter before running off with the stolen two-wheeler,” said Const. Kris Clark. “Thankfully, the 13-year-old was uninjured. Police searched the area but the suspects could not be located.” The first suspect is described

as a Caucasian boy, about 16 years old, between five-foot-five to fivefoot-eight with short brown hair. He was wearing a black shirt with a skull symbol and grey pants. The second suspect is described as a caucasian boy, about 16 years old, between five-footfive to five-foot-eight, with darker skin. He was wearing a yellow shirt with brown short. The scooter is white with pink handlebars, one green tire and one brown tire.

reporter to present to those attending Western Canada’s largest conference in Kelowna at the end of this month. Harvest Your Family Tree is organized by the KDGS and runs Friday, Sept. 28, through Sunday, Sept. 30, with 24 concurrent workshops for people of all levels and interests in genealogy, as well as a marketplace of vendors and exhibitors, a dinner, library open house and guided tour of Kelowna’s historic pioneer cemetery. Genealogy is the study of families, tracing their lineage and ancestry, and it’s an activity that intrigues more and more people. Genealogists Claire Smith-Burns and Mary Read of the KDGS spent 10 months researching my family tree and presented the results to the family and to members attending the September regular meeting, prior to

the conference. It was an intriguing journey they took that included research on the Internet, now that many archival sources have been digitized, by mail and phone and in person at libraries. Although there are gaps, they traced some of my roots back to the early 1400s, 12 generations back and found that one of my ancestors was United Empire Loyalist Seth Seely, who fled the United States in 1783 after the American Revolution and settled in New Brunswick. He died there in 1823, and is listed as one of the 64 oldest Loyalists, on the UEL of Canada website. The Loyalists were an instrumental part of Canada’s early settlement and in 1789 they were given the right to put the letter UE, for Unity of the Empire, after their names, in perpetuity, and so can their descendants, forever. The two genealogists hoped to turn up some surprises in the process of their investigation, and they certainly did, particularly when they narrowed

A BLACK BEAR rummages through garbage in a West Kelowna neighbourhood. includes day-active bears who are snooping close to houses; bears who are following people or showing an interest in them; bears guarding garbage, since it’s not a natural food source, and who can’t be scared away from it, or bears who act aggressively or huff at people. When people don’t report such behaviour because they’re concerned the animal will be killed, they can be putting their whole community at risk, he said. Myroniuk says there are a number of local hotspots where there have been a number of bear complaints in the past week or so, but the worst is West Kelowna Estates, in the areas of Westlake

Road and Scott Crescent. A sow and her two cubs were treed on Hants Road off Westlake Road on Tuesday, but eventually got down and left the area; and there have been complaints of both a large black on Scott and a small black bear in the area around Rose Valley elementary school. “They go into hyper fascia, or heightened feeding at this time of year to prepare for hibernation,” explained Myroniuk. Shorter days and cooler nights in September and October cause bears to want to fatten up by feeding most of their waking hours, particularly focussing on high-calorie foods, to prepare for their winter sleep.

That’s often when they wander into areas of human settlement where ripe fruit, pet food, bird feeders and garbage provide a banquet of easy pickings for them. “They can spend a half hour getting a few berries in the wild or five minutes getting a feed out of someone’s garbage,” explained Myroniuk. Residents who don’t store their garbage indoors until as close as possible to when the garbage is collected can be charged if that is attracting bears. A dangerous wildlife protection order can result in a $575 fine for the first offence, said Myroniuk. He would like to see Bear Aware program coordinators working in

Calling to report abnormal or aggressive bear behaviour in your neighbourhood is not what results in dead bears—it’s the people who attract them who are responsible for the death of those bears says conservation officer Terry Myroniuk. He admits that having to put down bears who have become a threat to people and property is the worst part of his job. “I hate to have to pull the trigger,” he says. However, he says he would feel far worse if there weren’t complaints about a bear in a neighbourhood who had become aggressive—so the CO service wasn’t aware of a possible problem— and then that bear’s behaviour escalated until it resulted in someone being attacked or injured. The Report all Poachers and Polluters toll-free line is: 1-877-952-7277. So, while he doesn’t want people to report sightings of bears who are spotted in greenbelts or who are not behaving abnormally, he also warns people that if they don’t report an aggressive bear to the CO service call centre, COs don’t become aware that there could be a problem in a particular neighbourhood.

Hoping for a better year

tudents and teachers are back in the classroom, and hopefully this will be a better year in the public school system than 2011-12. One of the most disappointing things about the past school year was a work-to-rule campaign by teachers, who were upset that they were getting nowhere in negotiations with the provincial government over a new contract. While their frustration was

understandable, the length of the job action and the effect on students and families was disturbing. Many youngsters saw their team sports nixed, and drama, theatre and other events cancelled. Parents had to make an extra effort to monitor their children’s academic process, because report cards were not issued. Thankfully, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provin-

cial education bargaining authority reached an agreement over the summer months, and it appears there will be no job action this year. The BCTF is still angry with the government and will be working toward its defeat, as is its right, but there is a contract in place. Whether a new government, should one be elected, will come up with a more favourable deal for teachers remains to be seen.

There should be report cards and proper consultation with parents this school year, and that is to the benefit of everyone — teachers, students and parents. Education has never been as important as it is today. The ability of young people to live independent lives as adults is directly related to a good education, and the school system is a key part of that. Here’s hoping for a successful school year.

Union of B.C. towns may get new name, pay higher dues

C. politicians are preparing for their annual convention, to be held Sept. 25-28 in the provincial capital. One of the first orders of business this year will be a vote to raise the dues paid by local governments to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, to cover rising travel costs for staff to serve on provincial committees. The plan is also to change the name to Union of B.C. Local Governments, to reflect the participation of regional districts and aboriginal communities. So what do these committees and conferences accomplish? The UBCLG, as it will soon be known, is mainly a lobby group for local politi-

cians to seek changes to federal and provincial laws to keep up with changing times. The resolutions offer a snapshot of modern problems facing local governments. A major theme is public safety, and this year it is the Columbia Shuswap Regional District renewing a longstanding plea for more provincial policing money for rural communities. Surrey has a resolution seeking better notice and control of a growing number of medical marijuana licences issued by Ottawa. Local fire

Pitt Meadows, home to a Hells Angels clubhouse and drug-related crime familiar to most urban communities, wants B.C. to follow Alberta’s lead and give police authority to remove known gang members from bars and clubs. Gangs tend to adopt certain establishments, and there isn’t much the

owners or police can do about it. This year, the debate may go further. Metchosin is seeking support to call on Ottawa to decriminalize marijuana, ending a “failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs.” No chance of that under the Stephen Harper government, but it’s worthwhile to send the message. Another long-shot demand, sparked by the abduction of threeyear-old Kienan Hebert of Sparwood last year, is for Ottawa to make its sex offender registry public for convicted repeat offenders. Ashcroft councillors want to give emergency services authority to deal

with another modern hazard: hoarding. Yes folks, it’s more than just a show on TV that exposes a creepy side effect of our bloated North American consumer culture. The Ashcroft resolution notes that obsessively piling stuff to the rafters is a growing problem. And as with marijuana grow ops, “local governments have little or no authority to enforce compliance with health and safety standards when a building is owner occupied.” Another First World problem is the “pocket dialing” of 911 by mobile phones. This is more than just a nuisance, because local emergency ser-

FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice

Hydro bill leads to a sleepless night To the editor: We received our Fortis hydro bill yesterday and did not sleep well last night. Our monthly bill under the new tier system, including the omnipresent HST (didn’t we vote to eliminate it?), has now increased by $119.

Haven’t we been worried because in Canada, as in most developed countries, we are having too few children to support our aging citizens and infrastructure? And yet, Hydro’s new tier system is severely unaffordable and unfair to all larger families, and to intergenera-

tional families that save tax payer dollars by caring for their elder members. We have all read that it is healthier and saves building more assisted care residences (with all the bureaucracy that entails) to keep people in their own homes. But what do you do when

you are on a fixed income when increases descend on you like this? You can use all the hints and energy wise appliances you can, but the more people within a household, the more showers, laundry, etc. The tiers are set at such ridiculous levels that

you would need to be a hermit to profit from the “savings” guaranteed by the first tier. I suggest this “family first” government do something quickly— more than quickly—to redress this injustice. Jan Schredl, Kelowna

Organic pesticides work to keep gardens lovely To the editor: I am a landscape consultant with passion, fire and a considerable amount of energy. I am disturbed by an article I read in the Capital News printed Aug. 17 titled When It Comes To Fending Off Insects, De-

tective Work Helps. A company is quoted in this article called Amdro pest-control products. So I researched the company name wondering who the dickens are they. Well, they are an American company with pesticide products made with

harsh synthetic chemicals. The ironic part is that Kelowna has a bylaw stating no synthetic chemicals to be used on lawns by homeowners and yet we publish an article that clearly promotes this situation. I work very hard to

bring information to people here in Kelowna about natural/organic alternatives for lawn and gardens. I facilitate workshops/seminars for the City of Kelowna talking and demonstrating about this very important environmental issue.

There are a lot of fantastic Canadian organic/natural and biological products on the market to boast about that work incredibly well to control pests in our lawns and gardens. Cathy Fuller, Kelowna

Liability prevents private spraying of pesticides To the editor: In recent articles regarding local forests and forest pest management, City of Kelowna forester Blair Stewart and Ministry of Forests entomologist Lorraine MacLauchlan seemed to be trying to reassure us that all is well in the woods. However, it would not take much driving around the City of Kelowna to see that there are still hundreds of trees under attack mainly by the pine beetle but also from spruce budworm (which attacks spruce and fir varieties). Then there are attacks

from tussock fir moth which destroys trees very quickly. Drive around. You will see hundreds of trees dieing. This is mainly because the city and the province refuse to do any spraying (BTK-organic pesticide) on private lands. They try to collapse the population by only spraying on public lands. However, it is obvious that in the city boundaries, most of the land is private so the spraying is often ineffective, Two years ago residents of the Joe Rich area organized to have private

lands sprayed with the help of a private contractor and some coordination with the ministry. Most residents agreed to pay for this themselves. Because of liability issues this became an impossible task and the ministry withdrew support. The result—hundreds more trees dieing on private and public land. (This despite some limited spraying on public lands that, again, was supposed to collapse the population.) Most property owners of any size cannot afford to do private spraying all

by themselves. It can involve hundreds of trees and cost thousands of dollars. There is a real need for a coordinated effort by all levels of government to make spraying effective. There are examples where this has been done in other municipalities e.g. Kamloops and Richmond. The Joe Rich residents appealed to the local regional district to take up the cause. Nothing happened and there was little support from the director. Meanwhile, the trees just sit there turning orangy

brown and wasting away, creating a tremendous fire hazard. This results in a much faster run off and flooding problems, as seen this spring. The regional district and the director simply ignore their responsibilities. In doing so, they continue their record as also shown by nothing being done with the dangerous, flooded out Muttit property, along Highway 33. What do we pay taxes for, anyways?

vices are obliged to respond to every call they get. And mobile phones can’t be traced to their location with any precision, creating time-consuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies. Other resolutions tackle complex and important issues, such as the effect of hydro development on municipal water

supplies. But alas, most will be lost in the convention noise, overshadowed by political posturing over matters best left alone. Last year’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject. This year, in addition to factually challenged railing about oil tankers, there will be a

tough stance taken against shark’s fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet. Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum.

Terry Fox Run returns to Mission Sportsfields on Sunday The annual Terry Fox Run takes place Sunday at the Mission Sportsfields. For Kelowna couple Shane and Lisa Worman, their involvement in organizing that annual cancer fundraiser carries personal significance. Both the Wormans have been diagnosed with cancer, as was Lisaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twenty-seven years ago when my mom was diagnosed things were kept quite hush-hush,â&#x20AC;? recalled Lisa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people assumed that my mom had

However, Baker says the district hired Stu Mould of Mould Engineering last year to conduct a review of the applications to take water from Beaver (Swalwell), Crooked and Oyama Lakes. He reported there is only water in excess of existing licences available in unusual years of high inflow when the dam is spilling, and only for a short period of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No surplus water exists in the system during summer and winter periods, otherwise DLC would not have constructed the dams and storage reservoir,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. He recommended denial of the applications from the lessees. He also questioned whether a water licence can be issued to a lessee since the Water Act says only an owner of land can hold a water licence. When Baker brought up the issue at Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Okanagan Basin Water Board meeting, Toby Pike, manager of the South East Kelowna Irrigation District, reported the same thing happened on Minnow Lake, one of that districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reservoirs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been a recreational lot there if we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t created the reservoir,â&#x20AC;? he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our ratepayers paid to build the reservoir, yet these lessees are getting a free ride,â&#x20AC;? he added.

rugs, etc. Humans can also get infected with ringworm by getting in contact with an animal that carries the fungi. All animal are susceptible to ringworm infection. Among household pets, the disease is most common in cats. Infected dogs generally have a skin lesion at the site of the infection. Interestingly though, not all cats that carry the fungi will show signs of skin lesions. Cats can be “silent carriers” of the disease and spread it to others without suffering from it themselves.

One of the actually more straightforward skin diseases in pets is ringworm infection. Ringworm is not, as its name suggests, caused by a worm. It is actually caused by a fungal infection of the skin, and the fungi responsible for the infection are known as dermatophytes. In animals, the classic ringworm lesions are patchy areas of hair loss and scaliness, usually with very little inflammation or redness. It is not usually itchy. The lesion can be solitary. A case of multiple lesions is considered systemic and is called generalized dermatophytosis. The disease is highly contagious. The disease transmission occurs through direct or indirect contact with an infected animal. Indirect contact means contracting the disease by touching objects that the infected animal has touched; such as bedding, brushes or grooming equipment, furniture,

cence. Ringworm confirmation is done by a culture. The veterinarian collects a sample of hair and scales from the lesion and places it in a special small jar known as the culture media. Placing the jar in a dark place and the culture media, provide the optimal condition for the fungus to grow and thrive. This test is very easy to perform. It is affordable, non invasive, and does not require anesthe-

sia or sedation. The only disadvantage of this test is that the results are not given immediately. It can take the fungal colonies up to 21 days to develop, even though, from my personal experience, usually within five to seven days we get a good idea if the result is positive. If the lesion is solitary, the infection may be self limiting and may eventually disappear without treatment.

Generalized cases (multiple lesions) require treatment. The treatment can be done topically in a form of a medicated shampoo. Some cases require systemic treatment by oral medication. Your veterinarian can guide you through which course of action is best recommended for your pet’s condition. Gathering information about your pet, and the physical exam findings will also help your veterinarian in assessment whether the condition has developed due to other underlying problem that has weakened your pet’s immune system. If you recognize in your pet a single or multiple areas of hair loss, with or without crusting and scaling that are usually not itchy, take it to be examined by your vet. If your pet is diagnosed with a ringworm infection, thorough cleaning of the house and the pet’s bedding and equipment is also necessary for the elimination and prevention of reinfection. Also consult your family doctor about treating the human members of the family. Moshe Oz operates the Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital at 2476 Westlake Rd.

The diagnosis for ringworm in animals is fairly simple.

Student loan red tape reduced by government ASSISTANT EDITOR

The B.C. and federal governments have some good news for students who have to take out loans to pay for their education. Victoria and Ottawa have fully integrated their individual student loan programs, resulting in a single loan for students to manage and repay through a single, central service. “Our government understands the importance of post-secondary education and the challenges that students face.” said Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan, who made the announcement on behalf of federal Human Resources and Skills Development Minister Diane Finley at UBC’s Okanagan campus Wednesday. “That’s why we’re getting rid of the red tape and making it easier for B.C. students to manage their loans.” By combining the provincial and federal loans into one and having it administered by the

Ron Cannan federal government, Cannan said the total amount will now be covered by Ottawa’s student loan Repayment Assistance Plan. In the past, the plan only covered federal student loans. In addition, multi-year loans will be introduced in B.C. to save students having to re-apply every year, said Cannan. Tim Krupa, a fourth year science student at UBCO who represents students on the university’s board, welcomed the move saying it will make life easier for students who take out loans. He said while only 20 per cent of students at UBCO have student

loans, the issue of borrowing money can affect accessibility for some students because of the cost of tuition. But while he welcomed the governments’ move, Krupa said issues like tuition rates continue to be a higher priority for the most students while they are at school. Cannan, who did not know how many students in B.C. the loan change will affect, said in addition to the joint provincialfederal move, the amount of money a student can borrow will also now be based on family income, circumstance and size. “This way students will have to spend less time dealing with their loans and have more time for their studies,” said the local MP. Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson, who was also on hand for the announcement, said B.C. is the fifth province in Canada to join with Ottawa to combine their student loan programs. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

SPORTS Big D-man commits to Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

After contemplating several scholarship offers from American universities, Mitchell Wheaton settled on Canada’s major junior game as the best option for his hockey future. The 6-foot-5, 225pound blue liner this week committed to the Kelowna Rockets for the new Western Hockey League season. Wheaton, a native of Sherwood Park, Alta., joined the Rockets for practise on Wednesday and will be available for the club’s final two exhibition games this weekend. By deciding to play in the Canadian Hockey

DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

KELOWNA’S Trevor Haaheim heads for the finish Sunday to win the Peak to Beak Run for the fifth time.

Haaheim wins Peak to Beak for fifth time After settling for second best last September, Kelowna’s Trevor Haaheim was back on top in 2012. The 40-year-old Haaheim captured the Peak to Beak Run for the fifth time, completing the 18 km course on Sunday in one hour five minutes 49 seconds. Beginning at Knox Mountain and ending at Quail’s Gate Winery, Haaheim reeled in Merritt’s Hans Aabye at around the 10 km mark on Campbell Road and never looked back. Aabye finished more than 3 1/2 minutes behind in 1:09:25, while Kelowna’s Gary Wade took third in 1:11:16. The women’s champion was Kelowna’s Cindy Rhodes who was

ninth overall in 1:18:34. While the field has been stronger at some past Peak to Beak events, Haaheim was still pleased with the win. “A lot of it depends on who shows up for the race,” said Haaheim. “Every year I’m thinking I’m going to a whole new level and break an hour, but of course I wasn’t close to that. It was good enough for the field that was there so I was happy.” Haaheim was hoping Kelowna’s John Machuga would have entered in the race as he had already won five events on the Interior Running Association. However, Machuga is sticking to shorter events this season. “John has really upped his game, he would have been hard to beat,” Haa-

heim said. Haaheim (M40-44), Aabye (M35-39), Wade (M45-49) and Rhodes (F55-59) all won their respective age groups. Other age group winners from Kelowna were: Jeff Vogt (M30-34) in 1:15:25; Stacie Carrigan (F30-34); Corrine Gable (F45-49); Jen Cates (F4044); Kendall Cowley (F20-29); Diane Leonard (F65-69); Shawn Baenzinger (M65-69); and Astrid Varga (F60-64). The Peak to Beak, the last road race of the IRA season, featured 98 runners. The IRA’s cross country running season kicks off this Sunday is Salmon Arm with the Reino Keski Salmi 10 K. Kelowna will host the Larry Nicholas 10 K on Oct. 21.

League, Wheaton waives any future eligibility for the NCAA. Still, it’s a choice the 17-year-old rearguard had no second thoughts about making. Among his many reasons for choosing Kelowna is the Rockets’ penchant for producing some of the games’ top young defencemen. “I had some interest from a few schools but my family and I discussed it and we thought the best thing for me was going to play in Kelowna,” said Wheaton. “It was the organization they have and the history they have of past young defencemen. They have amazing coaches and I just think that’s my best chance of

playing professional hockey one day.” Wheaton attended Kelowna’s main training earlier this month, then returned to the Spruce Grove Saints of the AJHL before making a final decision. “We’re thrilled that he has chosen Kelowna as the place he wants to play,” said Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton. “He was excellent in training camp and we’re looking forward to having him join us.” Wheaton, the Rockets’ 10th round pick, 207th overall in the 2010 bantam draft, is yet another promising defensive prospect that assistant coach Dan Lambert is excited have a chance to watch grow and

develop. “Mitchell’s a big kid that can play very physical, and he’s a big guy that thinks the game very well,” said Lambert. “He makes a good first pass and anticipates the game as well as anyovne. We certainly see him as a guy who will fit right in.” Wheaton’s return gives the Rockets 10 defenceman on the roster, including injured 20-year-old veteran Mitchell Chapman. The Rockets will visit the Spokane Chiefs Thursday, then will return home to host Tri-City on Saturday to close out the exhibition season. Kelowna’s regular season opener is Friday, Sept. 21 in Kamloops.

Men’s soccer Warriors host defending champs Friday ends this wknd Game vs Vees: “Pretty good The Kelowna Men’s commited a foul against measuring stick.”

Soccer League will close out its 2012 season this weekend with the finals in all divisions. In the Div. 1 championship Saturday at the Mission sports fields #74, Brandt’s Creek Pub will battle the Modern Furniture Pikeys. Brandt’s Creek needed penaly kicks in the semifinals to knock off Ecora 3-2. Brandt’s scored 15 minutes into the first half when a cross was played into the box that Ecora’s keeper Sandro Costa mishandle that left Brandt’s Rene Trozzo to pounce on the goal line to knock the ball into the open goal. Five minutes later, Brandt’s appeared to score their second, however the referee had questionnably judged that one of Brandt’s attackers had

Ecora.Ecora then settled in and marched down the pitch and flung a soft shot onto goal that Brandt’s keeper Todd Swaby also misjudged as it trickled into the bottom corner to even the score, 1-1. In the second half, Ecora would get their second after some shabby defending let Chad Foreman walk in alone and bury his shot between Swaby’s legs to take a 2-1 lead. Brandt’s would get even with about 20 minutes remaining, as a corner kick from Matt Arruda would pick out a leaping Ben Goward who smashed his header into the goal tie it at 2-2. The teams would battle out the rest of the half, but with no more scoring, we were off to penalSee Soccer A22

Rylan Ferster isn’t downplaying the importance of Friday night’s BCHL home opener with the defending Canadian junior A champion Penticton Vees. However, the West Kelowna Warriors head coach and GM said any game just days into the new regular season, regardless of the opponent, should be put into the proper perspective. “They’re all big games, but it’s only the third game of the season, so it’s pretty early to be making too much out of it,” said Ferster. “We’re a different team than we were last year, and they’re a lot different team. That’s the nature of junior hockey. “Having said that, they’re still very good, so it should be a pretty good

measuring stick for us.” Face-off Friday at Royal LePage Place is 7 p.m. The Warriors more than measured up to the competition last weekend at the season-opening BCHL showcase in Chilliwack winning both games handily. A pair of veteran forwards led the way as West Kelowna knocked off Salmon Arm 6-0 and Surrey 6-1. Brett McKinnon tallied six points, while linemate and Warriors captain Max French scored four goals. New goaltender Tyler Briggs was solid allowing just goal on 39 shots. The Vees, the defending league and national champs, are also off to a 2-0 start. Following Friday’s game, the Warriors will have a week off before returning to action Sept. 21 in Trail against the SmokeEaters.

big kids,” said Voodoos head coach Peter McCall. “And when you have as good a quarterback as Keith, that’s half the battle.” In other action, KSS knocked off Windsor Secondary 21-6 on Friday night at the Apple Bowl. On the road, Mt. Boucherie put up a fight against No. 3 Vancouver College before going down to defeat 41-28. Extra hours in the gym in the off-season paid off for the Bears who led the Fighting Irish 21-20 going into the fourth quarter. “We’re a bigger, stronger team than we’ve been in the past, not as big as Van College, but really able to compete,” said Bears coach Mike Godwin. “We went toe-to-toe with them for pretty much the whole game, so that was good to see.” The regular season opens Friday, Sept. 28 with the Bears taking on Rutland, and KSS hosting Salmon Arm. In Okanagan AA action, the OKM Huskies will open their regular season Friday, Sept. 21 on the CNC turf against Westyde from Kamloops.

MINOR FOOTBALL… The Kelowna Dragons shutout the Kamloops Broncos 33-0 Sunday in Southern Interior Football Conference junior bantam

action. Cole Pederson scored a pair of touchdowns in the win, with other majors going to Tuff Tepper, Ben Peters and Zac Elphicke. The Dragons (2-1) defense was lead by Tepper with three of five Q.B. sacks. In other JB action, the unbeaten and defending champion Kelowna Lions, now 3-0, whipped the Vernon Marauders 40-6. “Our whole coaching staff has been extremely pleased with the progress of the team,” said Lions’ coach Arden Knoll. “We are an undersized team again but, at this point, I believe that we are way ahead of the other teams in terms of conditioning and fundamentals.” The West Kelowna Sun Devils (2-1) defeated Salmon Arm 36-6. Salem Clark threw three TD passes and racked up 225 yards on the day going 4 for 5, while Nates Humes scored three majors including a 72-yard passing play and threw for another TD. Nick Kopp and Chris Smith also scored touchdowns. On defense, Spencer Lindholm had 2.5 QB sacks and Mitch Kopp had a huge interception return he almost took to the house, while Ty Truong recovered a fumble. • In peewee action Sunday, the West Kelowna Sub Devils beat Sal-

mon Arm 16-6, while the Lions lost 10-6 to the Vernon Yellowjackets. • In atom division action, the Kelowna Lions blanked the Vernon Blue Bombers 62-0. Led by a core group

of veterans and a talented set of first-year players the Lions rushed for over 400 yards on offense. Salmon Arm beat the West Kelowna Sun Devils 50-20.

Gabriel SAIT player of the week It didn’t take long for Nikayla Gabriel to find her comfort zone in Canadian collegiate women’s soccer. With just two regular season games in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference under her belt, the West Kelowna product and Mt. Boucherie grad has been named the SAIT Trojans female athlete of the week. Gabriel is a centre back in her rookie season at SAIT. She was named player of the match against Lethbridge College on Saturday as the Trojans won their inaugural game of the season 3-0, a first since 2008. “(Nikayla) is very solid defensively, didn’t

the line. She played really good balls in, and was allaround solid. One of the most consistent players on the field.” At 18, Gabriel is the youngest player on the Trojans roster. She played high school soccer at Mt. Boucherie and with Campionesse, a local travel team. Gabriel also played several seasons with Kelowna United rep programs, winning both provincial silver and bronze medals along the way. At SAIT, she is enrolled in the nutrition for a healthy lifestyle program. This weekend, Gabriel and the Trojans will be on the for games in Red Deer and Lloydminster.

Heat tune up for 2nd CIS season After an impressive inaugural season in the CIS and a playoff appearance, the UBC Okanagan men’s volleyball squad is looking to take a another step foward in 2012-13. The Heat placed seventh in the Canada West conference with an 8-12 record and reached the quarterfinals, before bowing out to the University of Manitoba. “After a week of practice, I’m really please with how we look,” said Greg Poitras, who enters his eighth season as head coach at UBC Okanagan. “Everyone, all 16 student-athletes, are in tre-

mendous physical shape and they are ready get better this year.” Although UBC Okanagan lost three fifthyear players in Preston Tucker, Mark Broome, and Spencer Brown, they have no shortage of talent returning to play in 2012-13. 2011-12 Canada West all-star Nate Speijer is back for his fifth year campaign, as well 20112012 Canada West AllRookie Team player Jeremy Fostvelt (Surrey/Earl Marriot). In addition to Speijer, the Heat will look to seniors Riley McFarland, Brett Uniat, Jeremy Kler,

and also fourth-year Greg Niemantsverdriet for leadership. “They have all stepped up as leaders and have really taken a lot of pride and ownership of the team,” said Poitras. “They’ve set a great example, put in the work and it truly shows.” The second-year players have also impressed Poitras and his coaching staff, comprised of Kyle Joslin, and Ren Baskin. “These guys have all come back stronger, both mentally and physically. The freshmen are physically strong and their skills are sharp having all come from high-level

club teams and provincial team experiences. Their biggest adjustment now is learning our system and understanding what is being asked of them. So far, I am impressed with what they’ve brought to practice.” UBC Okanagan opens the exhibition season in Kelowna next week where the team faces the two-time defending National Champions Trinity Western in mid-week match on Sept. 19 held at Kelowna Secondary. The Heat then host the Argentinean national Team on Friday Sept 21 and 22 at UBCO gym.

to Gary Allen for Brandt’s who scored to win it for the Pubbers, 3-2 (5-3 on penalties). Modern Furniture Pikey’s battled to a 3-1 win over Dakoda’s Celtic to move into the playoff finals. The Pikey’s opened the score early with Matt Reese buried a chance off the crossbar and in to take

the lead. Shortly after, Celtic would tie it up but soon would put themselves behind the eight ball when Brett Buchart was given his second yellow card and sent off to leave them with 10 men on the field.

Sears ready to fight for local retail market Barry Gerding EDITOR

Sears Canada is confident about its established footprint in the competitive retail shopping market in the Okanagan. And the store is not about to surrender that impact to rival retailers or be aggressive in countering the arrival of Target into Kelowna. That attitude is reflected in the attitude of Sears Canada chief executive officer Calvin McDonald, who admits Sears may have lost its retail rhythm in recent years. “We are in the midst of a three-year transformation strategy that will focus on growing Sears as a business across Canada,” said McDonald, who was in Kelowna last Friday to meet with the management and sales associates at the Sears department and home stores in Orchard

i Ã> `Ã ÕÌÌiÀ°V

Park Shopping Centre. “We are working to establish a new vision to reinforce lifelong relationships with our customers built on trust, a great product, great quality and great customer service.” McDonald began his relationship with Sears at the age of 14, growing up in London, Ont. where he delivered Sears catalogues. “There is a heritage and history with Sears that I am personally connected with but I also realize that somewhere along the line they lost me as a customer. The store became less relevant to me and my family,” said McDonald, who took over his new post with Sears Canada after 18 years working with Loblaws. “I saw this new opportunity for me

BUSINESS ▼ UNITED WAY FUNDRAISER

Drive-thru breakfast back for 15th year H

ello everyone! I am back writing again after my shoulder surgery. I still have my right shoulder sling on for a couple more weeks (trying to wean off it now), but things are going well. After that, I will only have to wear it in large crowds or in airports and on planes for a couple of months. Thanks to all of you for your well wishes. It has been an experience that I hope I do not have to have again. Also, a big thanks to my sister Tracy Nyboe for helping type this column as I dictated it. Along with me being back, also returning is the15th annual (yes, it has been 15 years!) Maxine DeHart—United Way, Ramada Hotel Drive-Thru Breakfast. It will take place Thursday, Oct. 6, at the Ramada Hotel parking lot from 6 to 9 a.m. This year, I would

STRAIGHT FROM DEHART

Maxine DeHart like to dedicate the breakfast to David Hobson who passed away May 12. David was a strong supporter and major sponsor of the drive-thru for the past 15 years, one of the first sponsors to come on board. The enthusiasm of all the sponsors and volunteers is overwhelming again this year. New sponsors joining us this year include Princess Auto (Mitch Michel, team leader); B.C. Tree Fruits (apples); Booster Juice (Teresa Johnson); Mamma Rosa (James and Railene Anfuso); Laura (Orchard Park) and Melanie Lyne (Spall

Plaza) Ladies Apparel; Shut Out Sports Collection (Alex Draper); and Picture Perfect (Linda Winnick) in conjunction with artists Alex Fong and The Bay. Bring an extra toonie when you are going through the drive-thru as Alex Draper will donate a framed autographed 16x20 Vancouver Canucks player print for your sports wall (the player’s identity will be a surprise until the morning of the drive-thru). For a toonie, your name will go into the draw for this fabulous picture. Along with the new supporters are the very generous sponsors who have donated their products for many years, such as Sun-Rype (juice); Kellogg’s (cereal); Nestle (chocolate bars); Dasani water (Coca-Cola); Island Farms (yogurt); Kozy Shack Pudding; Marketplace IGA (breakfast

bars); Old Dutch (potato chips) and of course, Tim Hortons’ famous coffee and Timbits. If you would like to donate a gift certificate(s) please call me at 250-8627662 or maxdehart@telus.net. Stay tuned for more info about the sponsors and the event to come. Remember all donations raised stay right here in our community. Please come out and support us. Marla O’Brien is the new executive director of the United Way of the Central & South Okanagan/Similkameen. O’Brien was formerly in fund development at Okanagan University College and then moved to UBC Okanagan when the new university was started. Since 2009, she has been the public relations officer at the Okanagan Regional Library, managing internal and external communications for the

29 branch library system. She has volunteered with many local community organizations. The United Way will be tackling its largest campaign to date with the “actual” goal being announced at this year’s Kick off Breakfast on Sept. 14. Vikki Webster is the new marketing manager of Orchard Park Shopping. Contact her at 250869-4602; vwebster@primarisreit.com. Michael J. Ballingall, of Big White Ski Resort, has been appointed by the province to the B.C. Pavilion Corporation board of directors. B.C. Place is a division of PavCo, a provincial Crown corporation that also operates the Vancouver Convention Centre. See DeHart A26

▼ SEARS

Protecting store’s Okanagan heritage

Retail from A24 as a chance to take on a retail brand with a lot of strengths going for it and reacquaint it to a new generation of shoppers.” McDonald said that heritage also relates to Kelowna, location for the first wave of Sears stores built in Canada in the 1950s. Since those early days, the Sears store expanded and moved into Orchard Park Shopping Centre in 1971. A home product store was added to the mall in the last decade, along with a smaller retail outlet in West Kelowna to go along with established stores in Penticton and Vernon. Sears employs close to 150 people in the Central Okanagan, and McDonald reiterates that all those employees have to play a key role in any Sears resurgence. “It’s all about the people on the ground. Our new philosophy ultimately is one per cent strategy and 99 per cent execution,” McDonald said. “I am humbled to have visited Sears stores coast to coast so far and see the commitment and loyalty of our sales associates. They want to get excited about our products and they want to win.”

McDonald said that competitive trait is importance to Sears’ strategy moving forward. “We’re all in retail because we love it,” McDonald said. “Retail is a tough, competitive business. For retail sales to grow in an increasingly competitive marketplace, you need to fight to hold onto the dollars you have coming in and be innovative to get a larger share of the market.” “We are a buy and sell

business. What we buy as products to sell is critical, and how we choose to sell those products is critical.” One of the first steps in that process, along with training more than 30,000 staff across Canada, was to lower the prices of some 5,000 retail items. The arrival of Target in Kelowna to replace Zellers, McDonald said, is something that Sears won’t shy away from to maintain its current Central Okanagan market

position. “Zellers already had an established sales business that Target will naturally gravitate to retaining at the outset, but we also feel there is business out there we can go after,” he said. “Target is a mass merchandiser and they will do well. But the Sears value equation of service and product will be different. We can only focus on what we can control.” bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Photo studio helps women’s shelter

To celebrate the new location move for Aviva Studios, owner Liz Soergel will host a business portrait marathon in support of the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. The portrait marathon takes place Sept. 21. All participants will receive a 20 minute studio portrait session with Aviva Studios, an online gallery and an image for business print and web use for only $99 (regular cost $249). Twenty dollars from each session will go to support the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. “I’m really excited about this event,” said Soergel. “There are a lot of people in need of a great business portrait so it’s a great way for me to share my new studio while providing the business community with an opportunity to support our local women’s shelter which does a lot of important work for women and children in Kelowna.” Since 1980, the Kelowna Women’s Shelter has provided shelter and a wide range of support services to women and children who have been impacted by abuse, says Kathleen Lemieux, resource development coordinator for the shelter. Lemieux says last year 448 women and children stayed at the shelter and over 2,000 individuals made contact with the shelter’s various services. Space is limited for the portrait marathon, so reserve your space by call 250-317-4395 or go to the website www.avivaphotostudios.com/promotions.php.

Steinruck created what he couldn’t access as a photographer Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

If anyone might be worth sending to hunt down the selenite crystal cave in the Naica Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico its Kristoff Steinruck. For a decade, between doing his bachelor of arts at UBC Vancouver and earning his master’s in fine art, Steinruck was a photographer working for publications like the Globe and Mail and MacLean’s Magazine. “The best experience I had through photography was really just access,” he said. Life behind the lens gave him the right to rub shoulders with people he might never have met and see aspects of life others don’t often get to experience. His most interesting subjects usually weren’t famous; “…scientists and CEOs of big companies, that sort of thing.” The career bought

Kristoff Steinruck him did get him a front row seat to Stephen Harper’s election to head of the Canadian Alliance in Toronto immediately before it merged with the Progressive Conservative Party. And yet, even with that media pass on his side, he couldn’t get access to the cave he’s now replicated in the Kelowna Art Gallery. When the half-billionyear-old crystals were first discovered 1000-feet down in a mine, the glassy gems went viral. Only scientists were granted access to see the formations,

in part because the cave is uninhabitable. National Geographic was able to make a film about their investigations and Steinruck, who had become fascinated by the digital snippets emailed to him by a friend, took in the work with the sceptical eye of one who sees the world through an alternate lens. “The scientists do what they do, but they’re very limited. It’s specialized analysis trying to figure out how old the crystals are, whether there’s some proof of alien life. And they do this in a very invasive way by drilling holes in the crystals,” he said. Steinruck has never been to the cave in the three years since he first saw those digital images. He watched a National Geographic documentary on the scientists’ work, however, and has since recreated the natural wonder in a project originally designed as a set for his own

“I don’t think that we can answer questions about the crystals existence by drilling holes and pointing fancy scientific

scopes or lasers at it,” he explained. Steinruck will share his ruminations on the cave he ultimately built in-

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ FOOD AND WINE

In true pop-up fashion, fire-blocked diners made their own venue Schell from B1 instigator of Peachland’s disastrous fire, spreading it into dangerous rural territory. The first call was from friends, who needed to cancel in order to get home, pack and get their dogs to safety; the second was sadly from our shuttle driver bringing 25 of our white merrymakers to the party from down south. The bus was stopped and turned around by police.

The good news? This group’s unstoppable spirit landed them at one of the shuttler’s homes and they proceeded to pop up their own party in sync with ours via cyberspace. It was so heartwarming viewing the photos of the mini white party waving their napkins in the air— the traditional signal that the group approves of the secret location and to let the party begin. The event sold out with 200 people attending

this beautiful picnic and the Okanagan could not have looked more glamorous. Attendees were in full white—from white tuxes, to hats and fascinators, feathers and glitz together all toasting the night with glasses of bubble on a backdrop of lake, mountains (and unfortunately red sky)—we were a Gatsby-esque delight. And, disappearing as quickly as the flash mob arrived—just as the original organizer François

Pasquier over 20 years ago planned—it felt like a dream. I can’t wait until next year. We are in negotiations with the international committee from Le Diner en Blanc to make our Okanagan event an official part of their international organization. We will then, hopefully, become Le Diner Okanagan next year allowing the world to gaze upon our beautiful valley and its fabulous inhabitants.

Alzheimer Walk needs a leader

et me begin with a few comments about last Saturday’s Volunteer Fair. The 600 or so people who attended were definitely focused upon where to get involved. The question was not “Will I volunteer?” but rather “where?” A husband and wife who attended for the first time told me that they were leaving with information about four nonprofits they were considering. Just before closing, one organization was already receiving texts from students who wanted to sign up. A middle-aged man who created his volunteer profile was surprised by the variety of things to consider. He thought it

was going to be about setting up tables and other grunt work. A group hug goes out to our event sponsors: Beyond 50, Central Okanagan Foundation, City of Kelowna, ezROCK 101.5, Investors Group and the United Way. A heart-felt thank you is extended to our media supporters for getting the word out: Astral Media, Capital News, Castanet, Daily Courier and Welcome to Kelowna. Our welcome table, spin the wheel, Internet café, coffee and lunch were provided by: Dominos Pizza, Prospera Credit Union, Qual-

ity Greens, Rotaract, Starbucks, TELUS and TELUS Community Ambassadors. Now, let’s turn our attention to a volunteer leadership role for the Investors Group Walk for Memories on the last Sunday in January to raise money and awareness for families impacted by dementia. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is calling for a strong volunteer leader to help plan and coordinate this cherished community event in 2013 as the volunteer walk committee chair. This leader works with the guidance and support of the society‘s resource development events team and has a primary role in recruiting,

Not much to read between The Words THE WORDS There are lessons to be learned in this story about a struggling writer, Rory Jansen, played by Bradley Cooper (Hangover 1 & II). As Jansen finds his sought-after fame, he realizes the price he pays for his mistake is almost unbearable. Can he be forgiven for seeing the end of his dream and trying to produce something that he could have never created himself, even at the cost to his morality? This might have been a wonderful film if the ending wasn’t so confusing, and it might have

What the show did provide was the realization that if you steal anything from anyone, you also steal part of their life, whether it’s an object, an

idea or a story. The Dennis Quaid character, Clay Hammond, is a mystery. Is he an older version of Rory Jansen? Is he writing his own words to right a wrong? Is he attempting to get richer by unveiling a deception? We, the audience have no idea, and we are left in storyline limbo as the credits roll. The cast also includes Jeremy Irons as the “old man”—Irons is a true actor and his part is played to perfection; he looks and sounds like an old man and he’s mad as Hell. There are several thought-provoking lines

in this one. Here are a couple: “I’m not who I thought I was and I’m terrified that I never will be.” This might be a thought that many of us have, but how many of us are willing to cross the ethical and moral line to get to who we thought we were? And another line I liked: “We all make choices in life, the hard thing is to live with them.” Again another true statement, and that’s the show—not much depth, but some very pithy and insightful moments. Despite the truly unsatisfactory ending and lackluster acting by everyone but Irons, this show was filled with life lessons. It did lack, however, the spark that might have elicited some emotion from the audience— we really don’t much care about what happens to Jansen as much as we care that an old man has been cheated out of the story of his life—but it has something. Yes, it’s an odd film with an odd ending and everyone will have a different take on it. So, if you don’t expect award winning acting, it may be worth seeing, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. I give The Words two reels.

Chronic pain remains a unique and individual experience Darrell Skinner CONTRIBUTOR

he term ‘chronic pain’ is a frightening word for most

people. Acute pain, however, is a universal experience and everyone has experienced the sharp transient pain from stubbing their toe. The term chronic pain implies constant pain and lasting suffering. In previous history, chronic pain was thought to have a similar cause and mechanism as acute pain, but it is now known that there are significant differences in the pain mechanisms involved, and the treatment strategies are very different. The prevalence of chronic benign pain (not related to cancer) is difficult to establish as many cases likely go unreport-

ed. Estimates however suggest the rate of chronic pain is between two and 40 per cent in the general population. Also, the definition of what is considered “chronic” can vary from pain lasting longer than three months, or pain longer than six months, or as the International Association for the Study of Pain describes, simply as “pain that persists beyond the normal length of healing…” Acute pain is associated with tissue damage and provides a protective function. The physical origin of acute pain is usually clear and the treatment and prognosis is known. In contrast, the presentation of chronic pain is much more complex and the pain can persist in the absence of any apparent ongoing tissue damage.

Congratulations! Raylen & Owen Back to school with their new lap tops!

STUDENTS OF THE MONTH “I began selling Student 1st chocolates 6 months ago. The youth program has helped me with better communication, being more conﬁdent with people in face to face scenarios. It has also helped me gain a grade point in school because of my new math skills. Since starting I have enjoyed spending money as well as learning to manage money. It felt great buying gifts for my family last Christmas without asking help with cash. Having a new laptop is awesome and I believe it will enhance my learning in school.

Injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system are common causes related to the development of chronic pain. Acute pain messages travel within the nervous system in well-known neural pathways; and patients with acute pain will often describe their pain as sharp or jabbing. Acute pain can usually be treated by a short period of rest and medical or physiotherapy in-

terventions when needed. The neural pathways involved in chronic pain however, are different and diffuse within the central nervous system. Persons with chronic pain often describe their pain as deep, burning, or agonizing. Chronic pain is not simply the physical transmission of pain impulses; and can have a serious impact on the emotional well-being of the individual. Whereas, acute pain affects primarily the indi-

vidual, chronic pain often affects the person’s family and many aspects of their personal life. Persistent chronic pain is very much a unique and individual experience and can be significantly influenced by environmental, social, and cognitive factors. Dr. John Bonica, a major pioneer of modern pain management, saw interdisciplinary collaboration as the key to the understanding of chronic pain and physical activity

is now considered an integral component in the overall management of this resistant condition. People with chronic pain may present with an exaggerated fear of activity due to the concern of further damage to their body (kinesiophobia). Unfortunately, this irrational fear of activity can lead to physical deconditioning and increasing disability, further compounding the person’s suffering. Physical

therapists with an understanding of the treatment of chronic pain, can help design and encourage patients in a safe, graded activity program appropriate for their condition, and assist the individual in successfully managing their chronic pain.

YOU’VE GOT TO GET INTO THE WHEELBARROW! There once was a man named Charles Blondin. He lived during the mid 1800’s. He was a tightrope walker from France. He was best known for his numerous breathtaking tightrope walks 1,100 feet across and 160 feet above the spectacular Niagara Falls. His most notable performances included crossing the tightrope with his eyes blindfolded and on stilts. Once he even stopped half way to cook and eat an omelet. In one of his Niagara Falls exhibitions, he decided to push a wheelbarrow across the tightrope. The handles of the wheelbarrow were strapped to a belt on his waist. The wheelbarrow’s wheel balanced on the tightrope in front of him. In his hands he held a balancing pole. He performed this feat in front of thousands of petrified audience members. Like all other previous treks, the wheelbarrow crossing was successful and greatly applauded. He then shouted a challenge to the crowd: “I will cross again going to the other side but this time I will carry a man in the wheelbarrow.” He then asked them, “Who among you believe I can do it?” The crowd shouted and cheered affirmations; thrilled and excited to see the next trek. Then Blondin said: “Now, if you believe I can do it, who among you will volunteer to ride the wheelbarrow? Someone please raise your hand?” The crowd was silenced by Blondin’s challenge. Not one among the thousands who believed raised their hand. Not one was willing to trust and get into the wheelbarrow. Blondin taught his audience a very valuable lesson on faith and life. He taught them the difference between belief and faith/trust. To believe is to accept something as true, real or possible. To have faith and trust is to rely on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something. Blondin promised that he could defy death and destruction and push a wheelbarrow across a tightrope. He fulfilled his promise and performed the mighty feat before the audiences’ eyes. He then made another promise: that he could perform the same great feat and include another in its performance. They believed, that is accepted, that it was possible Blondin could do it again and take someone with him. They awaited the fulfillment of the promise. However, for Blondin’s promise to be fulfilled, someone had to have faith and trust in the truth of Blondin’s promise and his character, ability and strength. Not one person had that trust in Blondin. Blondin challenged every man who stood there that day to take a risk: to voluntarily put his life in peril for the sake of a daredevil’s death-defying stunt. Blondin had demonstrated that he possessed the skill, talent and luck necessary to get an empty wheelbarrow across the tightrope. He might possibly be able to put a sack

of potatoes in the wheelbarrow and get it across. A sack of potatoes is a dead weight; however, a man is a live weight. A scared man could shift his weight unexpectedly, catch Blondin by surprise and send both the daredevil and the wheelbarrow’s passenger to their watery grave at the bottom of the mighty Niagara Falls. What sane man would do such a thing? Every man there loved his life too much to risk it on a daredevil’s stunt that gave no reward other than the momentary adulation of the crowd. However, Blondin’s stunt and his challenge do point to realities that all of us must face from time to time. The two banks of the Niagara River and the waterfalls in between those banks point to realities that we’ll inevitably face. The far shore may represent a new life free from any affliction: a cure for disease or other infirmity, or life after death. The tightrope represents the only way across to the other shore. We are the people in the crowd who can only dream of making it across. We do not possess the necessary skill, talent and luck. We realize that we cannot stay on this side of the river. We will be forced onto the tightrope …… it is inevitable. When we slip and fall, the result will be disastrous. Who can help us? John’s Gospel reminds us that Jesus’ disciples often found themselves on the banks of a river with only a tightrope to get them across. Jesus predicted that He would be unjustly convicted of a crime, crucified, die and be buried. He promised He would rise from the dead and promised resurrection to all who believed in Him. On the night before His crucifixion, the disciples questioned where Jesus was going and whether they would ever get to the same place. Jesus answered: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” (John 14:1-7) Jesus told the disciples that He had come for one reason: to be a sacrifice for our sin and a way for our salvation. He promised to take us from this world to the next. Blondin’s feat provides an image for how Jesus became our way, truth and life. Jesus stepped onto the tightrope that we all must step onto. He also had a wheelbarrow strapped to His

waist; however, Jesus’ wheelbarrow was not empty. On the contrary, it was full. It was filled to overflowing by our sins, fears and doubts. It was filled with what we have done and left undone, what we have said and all the times we should have spoken but remained silent. Jesus pushed these sins across the tightrope. However, when Jesus reached the halfway point, He did something incredible: He tipped the wheelbarrow and fell to His death at the most dangerous place on the route. He was smashed by the rock and water below. He died a most horrible death. The water, rocks and the injuries which produced His death could not keep Him down, just as Jesus had promised: The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life —only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” (John 10:17-18) Jesus came out of the water on the far shore. His wheelbarrow was empty as He had died for our sins. His promise to the disciples was that He would come back for them with His wheelbarrow and take them from this life to the next. Jesus promised: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26) He asks us to have faith and trust in Him and His promises. A great chasm exists between this world and the next and a tightrope is stretched across it. He has a wheelbarrow for you. He wants you to have the kind of faith and trust that will permit you to get into His wheelbarrow. Faith that He is the Son of God; that He died for your sins and that He was raised from the dead. Jesus does not want us to get into His wheelbarrow in desperation or as a last resort. He wants us to get in the wheelbarrow willingly, confident in His identity, His character and ability. He wants you to get to know Him and love Him, and He wants to get to know and love you. Jesus is waiting for you at a church near you. At Grace Lutheran we meet Jesus on Sundays at 9:00 and 10:30 AM. All are welcome. In Christ, Pastor Ed

White Sails Chorus still going strong after 40 years

The White Sails Chorus, part of Sweet Adelines International based in Kelowna, have reached another milestone in their singing journey this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the 40th anniversary of the choral group. The chorus was founded in August 1972, and some of the original members are still here in rtown and attend chorus eventsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;notably Maxine Gunoff, who held the first rehearsals in her home. And although the basics of good singing never change, the costumes with little hats and parasols are long gone. The modern chorus consists of about 25 women who sing four-part harmony. Many of the members say that they always enjoyed singing, but never had an outlet to pursue prior to joining White Sails Chorus. Singing in the chorus, however, is more than standing in front of an audience holding a music book; all the musicâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and often accompanying choreographed movementâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; has to be learned as part of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation. Currently, the chorus has two musical directorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Bettina Garry and Bev Swan. f They both enjoy directing, but neither wants to give up singing, so they take turns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the chorus was founded in 1972, we have sung under the direction of eight women and two men, in an amazing selection of flamboyant fabrics, colours, ruffles and sequins,â&#x20AC;? said Garry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our numbers on stage thave hovered around 25, and our ages have ranged from 12 to 73. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have organized our fair share of shows

and fundraisers. We have sung our fair share of telegrams, and Christmas caroled our way through the most hectic time of the year. We have laughed, cried, argued and made up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have wel-

The chorus meets once a week throughout the year to practice repertoire, learn new songs, and always work on improving. At each rehearsal, they work through different exercises to improve breath

control and vocal production. Fortunately for many of the members, the ability to read music is not a requirement, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;learning tracksâ&#x20AC;? are provided to assist in memorizing each song. To celebrate the choral

groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40th anniversary, a Strawberry Tea event was held earlier this summer and the group will host an open house on Sept. 25, 7 p.m. The public is invited to learn more about the chorus at their rehearsal

venue, Ziglar Recreation Centre of the Apple Valley residence, 2055 Benvoulin Crt. For further information about White Sails Chorus, call Margaret at 250-7648808 or see www.whitesailschorus.com.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC Core™

Still Def ying The Odds UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health. Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was officially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a randomized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who conducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being. UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the product out, and they often did!” Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.

Tom Harper—Creator of UMAC Core™ Marine Phytoplankton carefully inspects a sample of newly grown wild Phytoplankton at his Sea farm on Vancouver Island, BC Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMAC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.” People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efﬁcacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.”

Extraordinary beneﬁts have already been discovered with a product that has only been available for 5 years. UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Capsule formulations. For information call Hedley Enterprises at 1-888-292-5660 or to locate a Retailer near you go on-line to: www.umaclife.com

Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.” Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into theatmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.

Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain.

Kelowna firefighters will don pink T-shirts for two weeks later this month to show their support for the fight against breast cancer and the upcoming Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s annual CIBC Run For The Cure. The local firefighters agreed to support the cause after their international association adopted it as a cause to support and asked its members to participate in the pink-shirt campaign. “Actually, it wasn’t a hard decision at all,” said Kelowna fire chief Jeff Carlisle. “We all have friends and family members who have been touched by cancer in some way and in our line of work we are exposed every day to materials that can lead to cancer.” He said there are now 10 presumptive cancer concerns listed in recent legislation covering the health of firefighters on the job. Local MLA Norm Letnick was instrumental in getting that legislation passed in the B.C. legislature earlier this year. Carlisle said during the two weeks leading up the Run For The Cure, Sept. 15 to 30, all Kelowna firefighters will wear the pink T-shirts as part of their uniform while on the job. Carlisle said because of the highly visible nature of the neon pink shirts and the fact that firefighters are already so visible in the community, he hopes it will help raise awareness of the fight to find a cure for a disease that will hit an estimated one in nine Canadian women during their lifetime . In addition to wearing the T-shirts, firefighters will also sell them at the Run For The Cure event on Sept. 30 in City Park in Kelowna for $20 each. All the money raised will go the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Larry Holier, president of IAFF 953, the Kelowna local of the International Association of Fire Fighters, said just like his members do with their Burn Fund and muscular dystrophy fund raising campaigns, local firefighters are happy to lend their support to such a worthy cause. “It’s all about helping in the community,” he said. Later this month, on Sept. 22, local firefighters will also hold their annual collection for muscular dystrophy throughout the city.

Application seminar for gaming grants A community gaming grant information session for non-profit organizations will be held Sept. 19, 1 p.m., at the Ki-LowNa Friendship Centre, 442 Leon Ave. The centre is hosting the seminar in partnership with the B.C.

munities by funding programs that provide direct services to the community and are responsive to the community’s needs and issues. The Sept. 19 session will share application guidelines, talk about the review and approval process, and discuss your project idea and organization capacity to access this fund.

out what they love about the restaurant. Melissa Hicks, front of house supervisor of Kekuli Cafe, said You Gotta Eat Here! is one of her favourite shows, so naturally she was excited they wanted to film at the restaurant she works at. Several other fans of the show stopped by Friday to check out what was going on as well, said Hicks. “We had a little boy in, it’s his favourite show. His mom let him skip school…so he got to meet John, which was awesome for him,” said Hicks. Kekuli Cafe specializes in aboriginal food. The restaurant’s tagline—don’t panic, we have bannock—sums up its most popular item. “Everything is made fresh; everything is made in house.” The eatery has won several awards, including

STAFF REPORTER

Dewayne Robinson has been a loyal customer of Kekuli Cafe for the past year-and-a-half. Servers at the restaurant are quick to recognize him and usually know what he wants to eat— fried bannock—before he places an order. Robinson was going through his typical dining routine last Friday, but he wasn’t alone. A film crew documented his every bite. The Food Network set up shop in Kekuli Cafe last week to film an episode of You Gotta Eat Here!, a show that visits eateries from coast-tocoast on a quest to find great food. Host John Catucci interviewed Robinson, other regular patrons and staff members of Kekuli Cafe, attempting to find

top business (10 or more employees) at the 2010 B.C. Aboriginal Business Awards. Hicks said the restaurant was nominated for the show by the Aboriginal Tourism Association of B.C.

Kekuli Cafe came from humble beginnings. According to the restaurant’s website, the business got its start as a small stand at the Vista Ridge Carwash in 2005. Back then it was tough for the eatery to turn a

profit. This year, the restaurant opened up another seasonal location in Osoyoos, said Hicks. The momentum has built thanks to loyal customers such as Robinson. “Ever since I moved to Kelowna, I’ve come to

Kekuli Cafe,” said Robinson. “It’s like having a home-cooked meal here.” Tracey Bussanich is another patron who was interviewed by Catucci. Although Bussanich had never been on television before, she said the

process of being filmed was “very natural.” The episode of You Gotta Eat Here! featuring Kekuli Cafe is likely to air at some point in 2013, according to one of the television crew members. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Carol Zanon said is “integrally, essentially wrong.” “I do firmly believe that the owner should be required to (live) in that home; otherwise, we’re creating a whole bunch of duplexes that were not planned for this community,” Zanon said. “I believe that it upsets the tranquility of some neighbourhoods.” District staff will also examine the possibility of including secondary suites within the business licensing requirements.

“It’s way better than what most other municipalities have been able to do.” Ophus commended the 65 residents who voluntarily registered their suites during the amnesty period. Council approved several updates to the bylaw Tuesday. First, they revised the registration requirement to a one-time $125 fee instead of an annual fee.

Councillors agreed to maintain a complaint-based enforcement approach to secondary suites and amended the Interior Health Authority septic field requirements to reflect

The District of West Kelowna will not be giving any more free ride extensions after a two-year amnesty period for the legalization of secondary suites ends Friday.

Taste of Westbank a palatable affair for the community Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The Rotary Club of Westbank hasn’t made many changes to its biggest fundraiser over the past 16 years. Rick de Jong, for-

mer president of the club and current West Kelowna councillor, suggests that’s because there is no point fixing what already works. The 16th Annual Taste of Westbank takes place Saturday, Sept. 29, start-

ing at 5:30 p.m. “It’s a fun event that engages the community,” said de Jong. “It’s a format that seems to be working… everybody has fun and it’s an enjoyable evening of fellowship, so we’re not

De Jong said support from local eateries is what makes the event successful. “The support from the restaurants is always there and always strong. “It’s humbling to get that type of support local-

ly, particularly in these economic times.” The Malarkeys, a Celtic rock band from Kelowna, will provide entertainment for the evening. There will be a live auction, a silent auction, a raffle for a ring designed by Stephanie Schmidt of JK Schmidt Jewellers and a 50/50 draw. According to de Jong, the money raised goes to-

remember once playing with my brother in the back seat of the car during a family road trip. I remember that the floor area of the back seat was packed with stuff and that my brother and I played on a thin mattress on top. We didn’t wear seat belts. Back then it was the early 1970s and wearing seat belts was not commonplace. Imagine today, glancing into the back seat of a car and seeing unbelted children playing on a mattress. I feel naked if I am sitting in a vehicle without a

How’s that for a reason. A taxi driver is not compelled by law to pull the seat belt around his or her body. Do we stop at stop signs, not drink and drive, signal when we turn, stop behind school buses and slow down to 30 kms/ hour in school zones because those driving behaviours are required by law? Think about it. To a large extent, the answer is yes. How pathetic is that? We should be adopting safe driving behaviours, and wearing our seat belts, because we want to save lives and reduce injury, not because the law requires it. Our driving mentality has to change, folks. A Vancouver taxi driver, Mr. Sangha, was injured in a crash on May 31, 2005. The case went to trial in April, 2012, and the judge released her decision on May 23, 2012. Mr. Sangha had not been wearing his seat belt because a City of Vancouver bylaw exempts taxi drivers from wearing a seat belt if they are travelling under 70 km/h. The defence, effectively ICBC, sought to reduce Mr. Sangha’s entitlement to compensation for his injuries and losses because he had not been wearing a seat belt. They wanted the court to find that there was, in legal terms, “contributory negligence” on Mr. Sangha’s part, that his failure to wear a seat belt contributed to his injuries and losses. The judge, Madam Justice Boyd, carefully considered the defence position. She reviewed the law that quite clearly opens the door for a defence argument of contributory negligence even if the law does not compel

seat belt use. Consider that law the next time you are frolicking in a limousine, or riding a bus. If you won’t wear a seat belt because you are not compelled to by law or for your own safety, consider wearing a seat belt because ICBC could use your failure to do so as an excuse to reduce the compensation you are entitled to if you are injured in a crash. Fortunately for Mr. Sangha, Madam Justice Boyd was, in her words, “unable to find that any specific injury suffered by the plaintiff was caused by any specific movement in the vehicle which would have been avoided had he been wearing a seat belt.” She rejected the defence position that it was a matter of “common sense” that Mr. Sangha’s injuries would have been avoided, or lessened, if he had been wearing his seat belt. His compensation was not reduced as a result of his failure to wear a seat belt. As dumb as it may be not to wear a seat belt, failure to do so will not reduce the defence responsibility to fairly compensate for the injuries and other losses arising from bad driving unless the defence can prove that wearing a seat belt would have prevented or lessened those injuries and losses. Don’t be dumb. Wear your seat belt. Generally, please take care for your own safety and the safety of others because it’s the right thing to do, not because the law requires it or because your injury claim might be impacted if you fail to do so.

ARE YOU READY TO BUY A HOME? FIRST - do you have the financial resources? You should have five percent of the purchase price of a home for the down payment, but ideally even more. Are there other priorities in your life e.g. starting a new business, which require your savings? If not, buying a home should be on your radar. SECOND - do you expect to stay in your new home for some time? Moving can be expensive and you will want to build some equity before having to relocate. Your job and home life should be stable.
