Act of violence elicits support for victims
Keeping the memory of two families alive Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kathy Michaels
After 30 years, Tammy Arishenkoff will face the man who killed her childhood friends and cast a pall over the small community she grew up in. Arishenkoff, along with a small group from West Kelowna, will arrive at Bowden Institution outside of Calgary, Alta., today where David Ennis—previously David Shearing—has been held since his arrest for the slaying of members of the Johnson Bentley murders. It’s a regularly scheduled hearing for Ennis, but the first time Arishenkoff has had to delve into the dark memories of that time. Facing Ennis is daunting, but Arishenkoff said shefelt compelled to take on the task for a number of reasons. For one, she feels like it’s her responsibility to speak for her murdered childhood friends Janet and Karen Johnson, even if it means facing down the man who killed them. She also wants to support their surviving family members, who have been forced to face down Ennis and relive their pain whenever a parole hearing is held. “Or maybe it’s because I just remember the devastation of 1982,” she said in a previous interview. “It’s a moment frozen in time that none of us connected will ever forget. This man is evil and I want my friend and her family to have some peace. We can’t forget.” At 53, Ennis has been in jail for more than half his life, yet, according to his parole records, said Arishenkoff, he hasn’t taken any meaningful efforts to facilitate his rehabilitation in nearly 20 years. Knowing that he’s young enough to kill again, said Arishenkoff, is ample cause to face the discomfort at hand to read her victim impact statement. The Johnson-Bentley families went on vacation Aug. 2, 1982. George and Edith Bentley and their daughter Jackie, 41, her husband Bob Johnson, 44, and their daughters Janet, 13, and Karen, 11, went camping together. Ennis shot the four adults immediately and kept the girls alive a few days to sexually assault them before killing them as well. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

DELTA Grand Okanagan hotel chef Stuart Klassen slices through his brisket at the inaugural Raise The Roof
Colleagues and friends of a family devastated by an act of violence late last week are rallying together to help show their support. “I can assure you that, on behalf of everyone on the United Way board staff, our heart goes out to the Grossmith family,” said Marla O’Brien, the executive director at the United Way of the Central and South Okanagan. “There are a lot of support networks who will reach out to help, if we can.” O’Brien recently took over the high profile role at the United Way from Harry Grossmith, whose family was plunged into crisis last Thursday. His wife, Kate Grossmith, 57, was attacked with a hammer by their 24-year-old son, Conor Frederick Grossmith. Kate remains in critical condition, while Conor has been charged with attempted murder, assault with a weapon and aggravated assault. He appeared in court to face the charges Monday.
BBQ Challenge fundraiser held at the hotel last Saturday in support of Habitat For Humanity. Cooking on his home turf, Klassen finished first in the competition. See story on A4.

Campaign fundraising goal: $1.45 million Fatal hit-and-run testimony given
Barry Gerding EDITOR
$1.45 million—that is the 2012 target unveiled at the kick-off fundraising campaign breakfast Friday morning in Kelowna for the United Way of the Central and South Okanagan/Similkameen. Marla O’Brien, executive director of the United Way, said when the CSO chapter of the organization was started 62 years ago, it was with the intent to pool community resources to provide help for people in need. Today, O’Brien says United Way supports 37 community agencies from Kelowna to Penticton, all of which carry out that same principle of creating healthier communities. “We hope that by accounting for the fundraising needs of these organizations, they can focus their attention on providing services to our community,” O’Brien said. Cathy Conway, chair of the fundraising campaign committee, said beyond the $1.45 million donation goal, other campaign objectives will include $130,000 of in-kind donation value to the Days of Caring program, where company employees work on a specific project to assist a United Way supported agency. As well, Conway outlined a desire to provide $5,000 in youth initiative grants, recruit 500 young business professionals to the GenNext program and get 30 organizations involved in the Think Re-

a short time but ended up being there for two years,” he recalled. “I was feeling depressed and not sure what to do with my life.” Becoming involved with the CMHA began to turn Eimert’s life around as he gained a greater understanding of his mental illness and found an outlet to volunteer his time to help others through mentoring and peer support groups. His efforts earned Eimert national award recognition and helped him get his own life pointed on a positive direction.
Cody Richard Wengenmayr sat still in a Kelowna courtroom with his eyes fixed straight ahead as witnesses recalled the moment they allegedly heard his car hit and kill a six-year old boy who had been jaywalking across Harvey Avenue with his mother. “I heard a crunch first, and the brakes immediately afterward,” said Jordan LaRue, a witness to the events of Aug. 30, 2010, who was sitting in the Denny’s parking lot at the time of the impact. LaRue testified Monday that from his vantage point, he could see something rolling and a Honda rapidly slowing its pace in the HOV lane. “I got up and walked toward the highway to see what was there,” he said. “I saw a young boy lying in the road.” The child had landed “15 to 20 feet” in front of the Honda, and LaRue called 911. He then checked to see if the child had a pulse and administered CPR until he handed the responsibility off to another. His friend Noah Lansing, who also testified Monday, had a similar recollection, although he focused his efforts on traffic control in the moments after the crash. He, like LaRue, saw the Honda slow down, then turn into the Denny’s parking lot. Two blonde men—one of whom was Wengenmayr—got out of the car, and sat on the curb in the parking lot. They were never witnessed any drinking or eating. At the same time, the 36-year-old mother of the child was seen lying on a strip of grass by the highway further up the road, being tended to by passersby, and a yellow push-scooter sat abandoned on the edge of the road. Both witnesses saw another man park a light coloured SUV on the highway across from the Denny’s parking lot and speak to Wengenmayr. “He told the guy on the curb to not move…stay where he was,” said LaRue, noting it was said in an “angry tone of voice.” “There were a few curses in there, too.” Police arrived shortly thereafter. Wengenmayr, 21, is facing six charges, including impaired driving causing death, which has a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. The trial is expected to continue throughout the week as Crown counsel is expected to call a dozen witnesses to testify.

One of the agencies supported by the local United Way is the local branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Shelagh Turner, executive director of the CMHA, says more than 700 people use their servi-
ces annually, while some 10,000 contact the organization looking for information or support. “One in five people experience a mental illness in their lifetime,” Turner said. “The other four will know of other people who are dealing with mental illness.” Turner introduced Eimert, one of the CMHA’s clients and active volunteer supporters. The 56-year-old told the breakfast audience that he has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and bipolar disorder, both of which are under control through medication.
The father of two and grandfather of three kids talked about how his life began to change forever in May of 2007, when the first signs of fibromyalgia began to appear. Previous to that, Eimert had worked in a variety of jobs that required physical labour, but the onset of fibromyalgia suddenly made him unemployable and trying to live on a limited income, which he described as being below the level of social assistance. “I moved to Kelowna to live with my sister because she had a spare room at the time. I only intended to stay with her for

Local chefs barbecue for a cause Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Bosley’s Kelowna
NOW OPEN!
Delta Grand Okanagan chef Stuart Klassen is confident in his ability to cook a good brisket. He put that confidence to the test in front of over 100 people last Saturday at the hotel’s parkade rooftop. Klassen competed against local executive chefs from Mission Hill Family Estate, RauDZ, Twisted Tomato and Watermark Beach Resort, as well as a touring independent chef, as part of the inaugural Raise the Roof BBQ Challenge. The cook-off was a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity Kelowna. “Delta’s number one charity across the whole chain is Habitat for Humanity,” said Klassen. “All the hotels always have a big fundraiser and work with Habitat to raise money for them.” Klassen teamed up with Habitat’s Jacki Wlodarczyk, resource development officer, to plan the event. When asked whether or not his competition might defeat him in the event he helped orchestrate, Klassen said: “They’re all going down, they don’t have a chance.” Klassen proved to be prophetic as he finished first in the competi-

Finishing second and the recipients of $300 were Rod Butters and James Hanna from RauDz in Kelowna, money which the duo donated back to Habitat For Humanity. In third, and winner of a $100 gift certificate to TBones Fresh Meat Market, were Cheri Rosenberg, Chef De Parti and the team from the Watermark Beach Resort in Osoyoos. The total amount raised from the event hadn’t been tabulated yet as of the Capital News press deadline on Monday. One of the judges who contributed to that outcome was West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. Findlater said he was not only focusing on the
taste of the briskets, but also presentation. The Westside mayor said he signed up to fill his stomach when he learned the event would be helping a good cause. “Habitat is important because they are providing housing to people who need it,” said Findlater. Over the past several months, the non-profit organization has been working to provide a house for Star Mengede and her special needs children.

Habitat has been trying to raise $125,000 in order to make the campaign a success. Last month when Star’s house was delivered in West Kelowna, Wlodarczyk said Habitat was still shy of that target. “We’re still in the process of wrapping up Star’s house, which she’ll be moving into at the end of September,” said Wlodarczyk.
cial government budget will be held in Kelowna on Sept. MLA Douglas Horne, the chair of the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, is inviting interested taxpayers and stakeholders in Kelowna to present their ideas on budget spending needs. The input the committee receives will help determine what is included in the 2013-14 budget. “Our government wants to engage British Columbians and hear from them about what they want to see in their budget,” said Horne, Liberal MLA for CoquitlamBurke Mountain. “British Columbia has been able to weather the global fiscal uncertainty better than most, and our government is committed to balancing the budget and controlling spending. Statistics Canada reports B.C. leads the nation in job creation and I look forward to hearing from people on how we can continue this positive news.” The Kelowna public hearing will take place at the Coast Capri Hotel from 5 to 9 p.m., Wednesday, Sept.19.

If having a laugh with kids and getting a free look at this city’s main visual art gallery sounds like the perfect mix, the Kelowna Art Gallery has an opportunity for you. Applications are now being accepted for the gallery’s volunteer docent program to provide school tours for thousands of children coming through the gallery each year. “We’re looking for someone who is very in-
terested in art, loves working with children and has a really keen interest to learn,” said Renee Burgess, head of public programming at the gallery. Docents are trained en mass in the workings of the gallery, then work as assistant docents until comfortable enough to lead a tour solo. It means spending plenty of time with children, but also meeting a group of fellow art enthusiasts—and one doesn’t need to have a background in the arts to apply.
Curious
“It’s a really good group if you want to meet new people or maybe if you’re new to Kelowna and want to find a group that meets on a regular basis,” said Burgess. The training involves some information on child development and different questioning strategies for looking at the artwork; and docents are offered a free pass to the gallery. Each year, 8,000 school students across the Central Okanagan visit the Kelowna Art Gallery for a tour of exhibitions fol-
lowed by a creative workshop as part of the school tour program. For many students, it’s their very first experience in an art gallery. “One thing that surprised me early on was how much laughter there was. Most times it was either me or the kids or both of us laughing together and generally having a good time,” said Helen Duckworth, a volunteer docent who worked during the last school year. “My goal was to make sure everyone took away

A new school and OKM expansion funding approved The province has announced funding for a new elementary school planned for West Kelowna and the expansion of an existing high school in Kelowna’s Mission area. Victoria says it will provide more than $28.5 million for construction of the new Mar Jok Elementary and the expansion of Okanagan Mission Secondary. Mar Jok Elementary will help address district enrolment growth and crowding at three other area elementary schools by creating space for 460 students in kindergarten to Grade 6. The new school is part of a joint development with the City of West Kelowna and will include a community park, playing field and other neighbourhood learning centre elements. Okanagan Mission Secondary is also located in an area with a growing schoolaged population. The addition will provide 300 new student spaces and a neighbourhood learning centre with upgraded
drama room and related facilities for community use. The Central Okanagan school district will consult with community partners in the coming months to determine the specific educational and community services that will be offered at both schools as part of their new neighbourhood learning centres. Construction will begin in the spring of 2013 and both projects are expected to be complete by fall 2014. September student enrolment for the Central Okanagan school district has grown in each of the last five years. Since 2001, $84.3 million has been spent to complete 13 school construction projects here, including the replacement of Rutland Elementary and additions to Rutland Senior Secondary in Kelowna and Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary in West Kelonwa. The province also paid for construction of Chute Lake Elementary in the Mission three years ago.
Parkade projects fall under alternate approval vote process Kelowna city council has initiated an alternative approval process to borrow $15-million to build a new parkade downtown and expand the existing library parkade. The new parkade would be built between the Memorial Arena and the Kelowna Heritage Museum at the corner of Doyle Avenue and Ellis Street. To encourage downtown development, the city is working with Interior Health Authority to move a number of Interior Health’s community services and programs to a proposed high rise office building to be built across the street from the proposed parkade site.
The move would bring 1,000 jobs to the downtown core. That project, say city officials, will help revitalize the downtown area with higher density land use and upgrades for better, safer parking. It will also stimulate business, public transit and housing. Under the alternative approval process, municipal voters will be given 30 days, closing Oct. 26, to object to the borrowing. The project will proceed if fewer than 10 per cent of electors object. Residents can find out more, view project panels, ask questions and discuss the project at an open house on Oct. 3, from 4 to 7 p.m., at City Hall.

Mayoralty challenge is on between West Kelowna, Penticton West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater and Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton have made a bet about how their two respective communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B.C Hockey League teams will do

Skuba discovered the special rock in 1967 near Bonnyville, Alta.

Skuba said he has been offered as much as $5,000 for the specimen, but decided not to part with it. An EBay search of similar-sized geodes produces items ranging in price from $1 to $3,800.

Council signs off on electricity asset sale to FortisBC Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna city council has approved a plan to sell the assests of its electrical utility to FortisBC Inc. At its meeting Monday, council approved what is formally known as its electrical utility restructuring opportunity’s asset purchase agreement with the energy company. It also approved using the controversial alternative approval process to seek voter approval for the deal. The process puts the
onus on those opposed to gather enough signatures (10 per cent of the electorate) to force a vote on the deal. “For the future citizens of Kelowna and their kids this is a great investment,” said Coun. Andre Blanleil. Mayor Walter Gray called it “great value and low risk,” and noted with the assets in Fortis’ hands, the company will pay taxes to Kelowna, something that doesn’t happen now as the city owns them.
The agreement will pave the way for the city to implement what the city says is an opportunity to shift Kelowna from its current role as electrical utility owner to a new role as an investor. The deal would transfer its electrical utility assets to FortisBC for $55 million and use the proceeds from the transfer to buy shares in FortisBC’s parent company, Fortis Inc. subject to approval by B.C.’s Inspector of Municipalities. The city currently con-
tracts Fortis to plan, operate and maintain the utility and another company to handle customer billing. The deal will also require approval of the B.C. Utilities Commission. Mayor Walter Gray called it “great value and low risk,” and noted with the assets in Fortis’ hands, the company will pay taxes to the Kelowna, something that does not happen now with the city owning them. But council was warned the provision under the legislation that would allow the deal has
not been used in 25 years and the agreement was not “a done deal.” The agreement was developed through a twoyear process that began with the city deciding its existing electrical utility business model was not sustainable. Financial returns to taxpayers under the current model—$2.1 million per year—are vulnerable to different pressures, said the city, in particular changes in the wholesale price of electricity, future capital spending on system infrastructure and increas-
es in operating and maintenance costs. The transfer of Kelowna’s electrical assets to Fortis, combined with an investment of the $55 million, will provide taxpayers with long-term, annual returns that are expected to meet or exceed the earnings possible under the current model, said City Hall. The need for such returns was a driving principle in its negotiations, it added. The city initially wanted to invest the money it would make on the deal in

FortisBC bonds and that was announced in July when staff reported its plan to council. Last month, however, the city determined an investment in Fortis Inc. common shares would bring a better return. “Using conservative estimates, the investment of the city’s proceeds in Fortis Inc. shares would be expected to generate annual earnings for taxpayers that would increase from $2.1 million to $4.5 million over 30 years,” said John Vos, the city’s general manager of community services. The city hired the accounting firm of Deloitte and Touche to review the agreement. In its report, the firm said it felt the purchase price was fair. Currently, one-third of Kelowna electric customers use the city’s utility and two-thirds use Fortis. That was one of the reasons why Fortis was selected to negotiate with, said city staff Monday. “This is one of the biggest win-wins for Kelowna in many years,” said Gray. The deal requires the approval of Kelowna electors, so rather than hold a vote on its merits, the city will use the alternative approval process, a type of negative option billing where the city says its plans to proceed unless enough people say no. The process is now underway and runs until Oct. 26. The transfer will be considered approved if fewer than 10 per cent of electors sign objection petitions. If approved, deal will close March 28, 2013, prior to B.C.’s switch back to the PST from the existing HST. To learn more about the proposed deal, go to kelowna.ca/cityprojects. The city also plans to hold two open houses on the deal prior to the end of the alternative approval process. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Right To Life Society sets flag raising sights on schools Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
After failing in its bid to get the City of Kelowna to agree to fly its flag over City Hall, the Kelowna Right To Life Society has found four new flagflying venues. The local anti-abortion organization says four local schools—Immaculata Catholic Regional High School, Kelowna Christian Heritage School and St. Joseph’s Elementary in Kelowna, and Our Lady of Lourdes Elementary in Westbank—have all agreed to fly its Pro Life flag during Protect Human Life Week week Sept. 23 to 30. The flag will also be flown during the week’s kick-off event, the Walk For Life in Mission Creek Park Sept. 22. Marlon Bartram, executive director of KRTL, said due to a handful of emails threatening to burn or destroy the flag if it flew over City Hall, all locations will have 24 hour video surveillance of the grounds surrounding their flag poles. He said schools are a good place to fly the flag,
not only because the are some of the few places in the community with flag poles but also because it is good to deliver the organization’s anti-abortion message to young people. And this year, KRTL is also linking the issue of abortion with declining student numbers across the province. According to the group, there are 20,000 fewer students in B.C. now than there were five years ago and each year there are about 15,000 abortions performed in B.C. “Certainly the aborting of 15,000 unborn future students each and every year in B.C. is having a devastating impact,” said Betram. And, in a release published on the KRTL Facebook site Monday, Bartram urged the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, which he accused of supporting “radical” pro-abortion groups, to drop that support and get behind his organization’s Protect Human Life Week instead. “Doing so would help to ensure healthy school enrolments in the future and secure teaching jobs

I THINK IT IS VERY APPROPRIATE. Bev Pulyk, superintendent of Catholic Schools
and pensions across the province.” Inquiries about Immaculata’s participation in the flag flying plan were directed to Bev Pulyk, superintendent of Catholic Schools. Pulyk said she felt it was fitting for the flags to fly over Catholic schools given that pro-life position was very much part of the Catholic faith. “I think it is very appropriate,” she said, adding normally the principals of the individual schools would have made the final decision on flying the flags themselves
but because of the controversy when the city declined to fly the flag, they sought her approval. She said teachers at her schools would address any questions about the flag from students “within the confines of our faith” and depending on the age of the students. The issue would not likely be addressed with very young students, she added. Bartram said while the four schools are “Christian” schools, any school is welcome to fly his group’s flag next week. Canada has no abortion law and as a result it is legal to end a pregnancy at any point prior to term in Canada. In B.C., it is considered a core medical service by the provincial Ministry of Health and is funded at hospitals. Despite that, small protests continue each week outside Kelowna General Hospital.
Last month the local anti-abortion organization asked for, and received, a proclamation from Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray, for the upcoming Protect Human Life Week. The city has issued proclamations for Kelowna Right To Life since 2008. At the time, KRTL said the city had agreed to fly its flag over City

Not worth the sacrifice
P
rime Minister Stephen Harper has been taking some flak for his decision last week to end diplomatic relations with Iran. That means closing our embassy in Iran, at a time when that Middle East country may or may not be attempting to build a nuclear bomb, as well as sending Iran diplomatic officials home from Ottawa. From the standpoint of gathering intelligence on the ground about what’s going on in Iran and helping Canadians who get
in trouble there, Harper’s decision is open to criticism. Isolationism shouldn’t be a policy for the economic powers of the world when conflict arises. It can also be argued that it’s too early to give up on the democratic dreams of the Arab Spring phenomena. Just look at how screwed up the U.S. these days politically and you realize what a challenge countries like Egypt, Iraq and Libya face. But the events of last week perhaps had a profound effect on Harper. We’ll never really
know because he doesn’t talk much to the media, preferring to run our country from behind closed doors. But if we could peak inside Harper’s mind, perhaps he sees that all pro-western embassies in Iran and other Middle East countries may become easy targets for Islamic radicals. And the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya, despite by all accounts being a popular person in that country for the role of assistance he played behind the scenes in overthrowing
the Muammar Gaddafi regime, was surely unsettling. Even worse, it took Egypt’s new elected leader almost 48 hours before condemning the attempted incursion of the U.S. embassy in his country. If Harper feels our diplomatic corps in Iran were in danger of becoming political pawn in a country where religious doctrine trumps any rule of law, he didn’t have to look far last week to see his concerns validated. Doesn’t make it the right step, just understandable.

So now, instead of one flag flyYesterday, as he awaited word of ing over one city building, the local the pro-life flags’ arrival in the city, anti-abortion organization plans to fly Kelowna Right To Life spokesman
Marlon Bartram confirmed the school flag-flying plan, saying schools are not only a good place because they have flag poles, spreading the antiabortion message to young people is a good move. But the group is not stopping there. It is also linking a general school enrolment decline across B.C. with the issue of abortion. According to KRTL, there are now 20,000 fewer students in B.C. schools than there were a few years ago and the reason for that, you guessed it, is abortion. That’s becuase there are 15,000 abortions in B.C.
each year, it says. Now, demographers may take issue with the reasoning, and in Kelowna, where the public school system is actually going through a bit of a boom at the kindergarten level, its hard to see abortion playing a part in the planning for new school spaces. But with such a hot-button issue, connecting abortion to something as sacred as the education of children, the claim is bound to grab attention. And isn’t that what this is all about? Attention That’s why groups fly flags, hold special days and weeks and have proclamations issued. They
want to raise awareness and attract attention. But should children be used to do that? It’s one thing to fight the fight over abortion on university and college campuses, at the city level and among adults. But using kids? That’s not right. Regardless of the beliefs of the groups that run these schools, flying the flag of this, or any other special interest group, is something the schools themselves should not agree to do.

MLAs thanked for school funding efforts To the editor: Last week, the provincial government announced $28.5 million in funding for School District 23 to build Mar Jok Elementary School in West Kelowna and an expansion to Okanagan Mission Secondary School in Kelowna. As one of the school district’s seven school trustees, I would like to personally thank our hardworking MLAs who represent us in the B.C. legislature: Steve Thomson (Kelowna-Mission), Norm Letnick (Kelowna-Lake Country) and Ben Stewart (WestsideKelowna)—for their support and role in securing this funding. It would not have been pos-
sible without their commitment and advocacy work in Victoria. These two capital projects will result in 760 new student spaces for our ever-growing school district and will hopefully include Neighbourhood Learning Centres after discussions with the District of West Kelowna and the City of Kelowna conclude. This additional space will promote community interaction and increase community access at times when Mar Jok and OKM are not typically in session. Mar Jok Elementary and OKM’s expansion is good news for students. The school district will be able
to better support student learning by helping us alleviate pressures on our infrastructure in two areas that are experiencing tremendous growth. It will also help your school trustees continue to develop the school district’s long-term facility plan. We also cannot understate the importance of these projects to job creation within our community. This is important as the Central Okanagan continues to thrive and grow. As a community leader, it is exciting that local businesses will be involved in and benefit from these projects.
▼ CONSERVE WATER
Embracing xeriscape philosophy is needed To the editor: It’s time to use our water more wisely and get rid of the grass in front yards. Kelowna, with its high temperatures and low rainfall, is just not ideal for a grassy landscape.
When I drive around town, I am most impressed with yards that have moved away from the norm of boring, water wasting grass, that have done some creative artistic rock and xeriscape landscape.
We should stop whining and get with the times—water is precious and shouldn’t be wasted. Kimberly Christianson, Kelowna

Return of purse applauded
To the editor: We want to honour Bernhard ShulzCruz, an associate professor with the department of critical studies (Spanish) at UBC Okanagan, for his extreme honesty in not only picking up my wife’s lost purse on Sunday, Sept.1, by Okanagan Lake ndear The Delta Grand and delivering it right to our door and not accepting any remuneration for all his good deeds.
What honesty! What a blessing to us and an answer to our prayer. May our loving God richly bless and reward him. My wife had her credit cards, all her keys, etc. in her purse and she worried her heart out after discovering it was missing—until we received the good news. Jacob Redekopp, Kelowna
This kind of government support does not happen without the hard work and leadership of elected officials. It reinforces the importance of choosing thoughtful and engaged leaders who understand and advocate for our needs and priorities to represent us in government at all levels. Thank you to our MLAs for their part in securing the necessary resources to strengthen education in our school district. Chris Gorman, Central Okanagan school trustee
Don’t slow down traffic To the editor: I would like to reply to the letter from Clayton Dorcas (Time to Follow the Rules of the Road, Capital News, Sept. 11). I’m sure he is one of those drivers who feels it his God-given right to enforce the rules. He likely drives in the left lane just to make sure nobody will exceed 50 km/h on a four lane street that can easily handle traffic at 70 km/h. I never see accidents on Benvoulin Road, which has a posted speed limit of 70 km/h as traffic flows freely. I fully support going slow on residential streets. I’m often ticked off by those who race down my own road. However, major traffic arteries are meant to move traffic, so having those with lots of time on their hands and a penchant to make everyone bend to their wishes to drive slower only encourage dangerous actions like passing. B.C. is one of the few jurisdictions in the world that has not raised speed limits in recent years. Many states and European countries recognize that a modern car is far more able to safely drive faster than the 1950s automobile tank that is the model B.C. highway engineers use as a road planning base. Please Clayton, move over and let the rest of us drive. Bruce Stevenson, Autoslalom director, Okanagan British Car Club
Saluting the local organizers All parks can’t be all of the annual Terry Fox Run
things to all people To the editor: How about a hint, Skip? Don’t plan a beach blanket picnic at a dog park. “Uncontrolled” dogs are at that park to be off-leash and have some freedom. Maybe have your dinner at one of the 50 other lakefront parks in the city that don’t allow dogs. As for the mess, the worst of it is the summer, presumably when many out-of-towners frequent the beach and care less about the cleanliness of the park than the regulars. And yes, it’s disgusting when they don’t clean up after their dog. Most park users are diligent and appreciate the space provided for the dogs. As for the nudists, none of the residents miss the ones that chose to engage in physical acts of love while the neighbourhood kids ran through the park. Paul Drummond, Kelowna

In 1980, Terry Fox was the leader who set the fire under Canadians when he carried his dream through the Marathon of Hope and beyond. Recently, Terry Fox Run co-chairs for the central Okanagan, Lisa and Shane Worman, have been the sparks that have set the fire under the organizing team, volunteers, participants, supporters and donors.

Local restaurants, bakeries serve up sweet treats to aid fundraiser From now until Oct. 16, there’s a good reason to say ‘yes’ to dessert. A number of Okanagan restaurants are joining forces to support the fourth annual Tickled Pink Desserts campaign for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s CIBC Run For The Cure. Participating restaurants and bakeries have created a special pink dessert for the Tickled Pink campaign. “We hope our customers are keen to support and share our efforts for the cause,” said Kevin and Carla Rodden, owners of La Cucina Ristorante in West Kelowna.

CUP CRAZY… Sharon and Steph Dixon, Saskatchewan Roughrider fans from Castlegar, drove to Kelowna last Tuesday to have their picture taken with the Grey Cup at the Apple Bowl. The Holy Grail of Canadian football was here as part of its 100th anniversary train tour across the country that will end in Toronto at the 100th Grey Cup game in November. For the Dixons, the trip was doubly memorable as the couple were also able to meet former Roughrider punter Jamie Boreham, now an assistant coach with the Okanagan Sun, and see his 2007 Grey Cup ring up close.

down, who arranged for the fugitive Americans to get to his Tehran home, unnoticed. From there, two of the six were smuggled to the home of the Canadian ambassador to Iran at the time, Ken Taylor, while the other four remained with the Sheardowns. The risk both hosts took in involving themselves directly in protecting the Americans was, of course, extremely high. The ongoing hostage crisis, in which 52 others taken from the embassy were held for over a year, had local and international tensions at an absolute peak. It was a long 79 days before the escape of the six Americans secretly biding their time in the Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; care played out. Taylor worked

Canadian government officials worked with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to formulate a plan. The six Americans were issued Canadian passports containing a set of forged Iranian visas produced by the CIA. The CIA also came up with a cover story, documents and disguises to get the Americans out surreptitiously. The cover story was that the Americans were part of a Hollywood film crew, working on a movie titled Argo, scouting filming locations. Taylor was closely involved in sketching out the escape plan.

that time as follows: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 1979 a cataclysmic revolution shook Iran, creating the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Islamic republic and altering the balance of power in the Middle East. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the widely despised Shah of Iran forced into exile, spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomeini returned to oversee the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transformation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But peace was still elusive as student protesters overwhelmed the United States embassy in Tehran, taking hostages and launching a diplomatic crisis.â&#x20AC;? When students swarmed over the walls of the U.S. embassy on Nov. 4 of that year, a number of diplomats on the premises were forced to flee into the streets on foot. Some headed towards the British embassy. Prevented, by further volatile demonstrators, from accessing that safe haven, they were forced to hide out in a series of private residences as the political situation disintegrated around them.

Mendez recalled the challenge of the situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to find a way to rescue six Americans with no intelligence backgroundâ&#x20AC;ŚThe stakes were high,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A failed exfiltration operation would receive immediate worldwide attention and would seriously embarrass the U.S., its president, and the CIA. It would probably make life even more difficult for all American hostages in Iran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Canadians also had a lot to lose; the safety of their people in Iran and security of their embassy there would be at risk.â&#x20AC;? Finally, on Jan. 27, 1980, the disguised diplomats lifted off from the Tehran airport aboard a flight headed for Zurich, Switzerland, and arrived there unharmed. The Canadian embassy closed later that day and all personnel returned safely to Canada. The six rescued diplomats, who owed their freedom, in part, to Taylor and Sheardown (and their spouses and the Canadian Embassy staff) were Robert Anders, Mark Lijek, Cora Lijek, Henry L. Schatz, Joseph Stafford, and Kathleen Stafford. All of them were in their late 20s and early 30s at the time, Anders was the oldest at 34 years of age. On Feb. 11, 1980, after the caper was revealed, Time Magazine saluted the Canadian rescue effort: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A wave of thanks to a neighbour for saving six diplomats from Tehran. It had none of the lightningflash finesse of Entebbe, none of the bloody ferocity of Mayaguez. Yet once again, however fleetingly, the frustration of dealing with the irrational acts of militants had been lifted by a single daring and dramatic deed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cunning maneuver executed by Canadian diplomats in secreting six Americans in hostile Tehran for almost three months and then spiriting them to safety last week provided a heartening interlude in Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still unsuccessful struggle to free 50 hostages from their captors in chaotic Iran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a spontaneous gush of gratitude, Americans extended congrat-

Awaken the entrepreneurial dreamer within yourself
Flooring Canada owner thankful for support
On Aug. 13, 2011, Perry Hildebrandt was devastated as he watched his Flooring Canada business showroom be destroyed by fire. A year later, the aftereffects of that fire have been nothing short of astonishing; his business has flourished and the commitment of his employees is enviable. As Hildebrandt prepares to move his company from a temporary location to its new showcase building, he feels that he can acknowledge how a disaster can be an impetus for both business and personal growth. “My team deserves the greatest acknowledgment,” said Hildebrandt. “There was no question in their minds as to whether or not the business will go on, it was only a question of how.” A local coffee shop provided the backdrop for putting the initial pieces back together. Hildebrandt knew he was not alone when his staff put a plan of action together that restored a sense of order for the company within days of the fire. Hildebrandt has built a reputation for his business based on integrity, trust and mutual respect; even with his competitors.
It was only days following the fire Hildebrandt received calls from those competitors offering their showrooms for his team to do sample product sales. This may defy business competition logic, but Hildebrandt feels it’s testament to the strength of the Kelowna business community and its support for one another. “We all like to think of Kelowna as a small city, but really we’re a village,” he said. “Without a doubt, we have the highest calibre of competitors, it’s a tough market. But they are first and foremost great people. We all know each other very well and they supported us simply because it was the right thing to do.” Others from the Kelowna business community stepped forward to support the company. It would be two weeks before the team at Flooring Canada would move into the leased space it has now been using the past year. Meantime, the company’s telecom supplier called to say they had a boardroom with dedicated phone lines installed ready for the team to use. Numerous others brought necessary sup-

tinual guidance they have provided over the years, I would be floundering.” Later this month, Flooring Canada will be moving into its impressive new Kelowna showroom that includes a new Designer’s Lounge and a greater selection of samples than before. Over the past year, Hildebrandt and his staff
have sought out better ways to conduct business that not only saves money but provides a better product for the customer. “My deepest appreciation goes to my team, my colleagues, my friends,” said Perry. “You have set the bar for how a business community should work together for the betterment of all.”
very so often in my travels, I come across this different kind of entrepreneur. They are the people who dream bigger than their background, education and experience suggests they can. They never stop dreaming, regardless of their circumstances or obstacles. This is not to say they ENTREPRENEURIAL don’t experience failure SPIRIT or get discouraged, but they’re the kind of entrepreneur who simply creates another dream when their current dream dissolves. Joel They don’t allow disYoung couragement nor disappointment to crush them. If these qualities and characteristics are what describe you, then consider these questions: Have you identified what your dreams are by writing them down? Are you living out your dreams? What might be keeping you from dreaming bigger than you do now? How focused are you on expanding your dream machine? Perhaps your entrepreneurial dream is to be financially independent or to build a successful new venture. Maybe creating a new venture means the ability to determine your work schedule or how much time you work this month. Whatever your dream and how well developed it might be, I truly believe that most successful entrepreneurial dreamers go through some form of a process unique to themselves. The first milestone seems to be the very essence of daring to dream, the realization I suppose that they have the ability to dream. Yes I know, you’ll say everyone dreams, but successful entrepreneurs keep dreaming even when it seems like everyone and everything is out to destroy those dreams.

Doing your homework on will planning will save you money
A
will is a very important legal document to facilitate the transfer of your accumulated assets upon your death. Unfortunately, almost 50 per cent of all people who should have a will do not have a will. Many others who have an existing will should consider updating their will. Changes that should trigger a review of a will
FISCAL FITNESS
Doreen Smith are: a marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, moving to a new province or country, the death of a previously named executor or family member, or
a substantial change of finances. A will becomes invalid when someone remarries and in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world of blended families, it is important to update your will or make a new one after a marriage. If you want your children and family from a first marriage to be the beneficiary of assets in your will, you must make a new will when you remarry.
Estate administration of a will takes up to 18 months for a straight forward estate process. Complications such as dying without a will, estate litigation, feuding family members, or business ownership not properly addressed in the will can delay the process for years. The provincial probate fees in B.C. based on the total estate value are 1.4 per cent, plus legal and accounting fees. The accumulation of these fees can add up to five per cent or more of the total estate value. An executor should be named after careful consideration of the many duties he or she is responsible for. The duties include: filing tax returns, determin-
ing estate values, making funeral arrangements, ensuring all debts are paid, working with financial institutions, lawyers and accountants, and distributing assets in the will. When you choose your executor, consider the time involved by this person(s), as the process can take about two years. Most Canadians choose a family member to be their executor, and for many people this may be their first experience in acting as either the sole executor or co-executor. This can be a time consuming and difficult process. You can also choose a company who has experience in estate administration. If the estate has considerable assets, a knowledgeable professional can
assist in tax strategies saving the estate money. The cost of a will can vary between law firms and notaries. Some people do not have a will prepared due to the initial cost for this legal document while others procrastinate. However, if you do not make a will and die intestate, or if you have an out of date will, the legal costs typically cost $250 per hour. Suddenly the cost of having a will prepared is very reasonable and should save you money with estate planning. During our lifetime we should use common sense and cost effective strategies to protect our assets. Joint ownership of assets, using life insurance
products to bypass probate, and gifting assets during our lifetime will avoid costs and fees and stress after death. Some people do not make a will because they do not want to face the reality they may die someday. The reality is each one of us will pass some day from this earth and leave all our materialist possessions including real estate, bank accounts and other financial assets. Very few of us know the day and time when our passing will occur. So take action to plan beyond the unknown.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let business dreams fade away Young from A17 yourself time to do nothing but dream, exercise and embrace reflection. Think about where you find your creativity and commit yourself to doing things, even the very few things that will be creative and stimulating. Do you have a dream? Do you
ever think about writing it down in as much detail as possible? Revise it? Have others critique it? Then, perhaps, is the death of a dream where something happens such as a setback, a crisis and your dream is crushed. It is at this point that many entrepreneurs may give up but the successful ones may grieve for a short while, examine what went wrong
and apply these items to their next dream to make it even more successful. I personally love that thought of rising up again from the ashes of temporary defeat only to rise higher than before. Would you like to feel that moment, dear readers, when you have rode over the next hill and the valley of victory lies beneath your feet? eagleyoung@shaw.ca

City hosts wellness fair The Kelowna Wellness Fair will take place Oct. 13 and 14 at the Parkinson Recreation Centre, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. The fair will feature some 50 exhibitors from the health and wellness community. There are a huge variety of professionals planning to attend, from chiropractors and personal trainers to jewelry makers, and musicians. “We are excited to have COACH (health information service) attending this year. They will be
doing cardiac risk screening by assessing people and discussing lifestyle” said Shara Mendoza, coordinator of the fair. Joel Kutschera, president of Vital Waters, a wellness fair sponsor, added: “We are very pleased to be involved in events like this. They’re vital to the health and wellness of our community. People can access information about their health that they weren’t aware of.” Vital Waters will have their premium alkaline drinking waters available by donation.
Proceeds will go towards the Vital Mission, an organization supporting 13 local charities. Some of these charities include the Kelowna Women’s Shelter, In From the Cold, and Gospel Mission. The organizers are also collecting food for the Kelowna Community Food Bank. “This fair is great for people looking to maintain their health, have experts assess their health, and find various methods to get healthy,” added Shara Mendoza.

▼ END OF LIFE
Funeral ritual is important part of the grieving process
I
t’s important for relatives to honour the death of an elderly member of their family. It can be a deeply traumatic experience for a family to grieve through and to find closure over the loss of a loved one. We are a society that too often brushes death aside as being too painful to open up about emotionally. Memories of seniors who pass on need to be honoured and remembered by people who cared.
SENIORS’ CONCERNS
Sharen Marteny Both the emotional and physical presence that will be missed need to be acknowledged. The funeral or memorial service helps with that acknowledgement, to recognize the shared feeling of loss among the family
WATCH FOR OUR
members and friends. The service is not really for the senior who has died as much as it is for the people who carry on their memory. Rituals are an important part of life, but again the death of the senior is not always openly acknowledged, in particular with a memorial service. Often every part of the death of the senior is denied. There is no viewing, even a private one for the family. There is no service with the casket present.
There is no service at the cemetery when the casket is lowered into the ground and the earth placed over it. Even at the gravesite, the mound of earth is covered so that it will not be upsetting. Everything is done to assist the mourners to not lose control of their emotions. So often the cremated remains of the senior are taken and spread by the family at a location that was special to the senior. Some members of
families need a place to visit that acknowledge that this senior lived on this earth. We all need this connection. But when the cremated remains are spread, depending where it is, I feel that often connection is lost. Frequently, the deceased will go from the hospital to a closed casket at the service without all of the family members or friends having had a chance to view the body. For many people, part of the grieving process is
seeing the body. Cemeteries are sacred ground, a safe place to evoke emotion, where generations of families can come to visit and connect with those who are buried there. Without a place that marks their time of existence, we run the risk of theirs becoming a forgotten generation, which is a disservice to the coming generations. We need to preserve that connection, that link from one generation to the next.
For the loss of a parent, the children need the opportunity to grieve, to find closure. Part of a grieving process is to talk about the loved one they have lost, about the impact he or she has had on their life and to share that going forward in their own lives.

Sun face uphill climb Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
The Okanagan Sun stumbled out of the gates and despite a spirited comeback attempt, fell to 1-and-5 on the B.C. Football Conference season after a 44-28 loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders on Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. The Sun fell behind 31-0 to the first place VI Raiders before turning the game around in the second quarter. However, it was just too big a hole to climb out of against the BCFC’s top team. “You can’t be unprepared mentally against that team or any team,” said Sun coach Gavin Lake after the game. “We dug ourselves a hole and it was uncharacteristic of our key guys. They are almost putting too much pressure on themselves.” The Sun righted their ship and even had some momentum at half time when they cut the lead to 31-14 but the Raiders quashed the comeback in the second half. Second year running back Alex Bradley had a big day for the Sun, rushing for 184 yards on 16

carries. He averaged over 11 yards per carry and had one touchdown but says the team just couldn’t recover from its slow start. “We didn’t come out in the first quarter and put points on the board like we did in the second quarter and second half,” said Bradley. “I thought we had a comeback there for a second but we didn’t finish it off.” Quarterback Cam Bedore completed 18 of 32 pass attempts for 175 yards and a touchdown but also threw two interceptions. Lake said the team’s veterans have been struggling. “Guys that we have put in leadership positions haven’t stepped up and made plays,” said Lake. “They have to find a level of awareness that they are not ready to do. Whether that’s because they have had a lot of coaching changes and third year guys are just hearing different messages, I have to find a way to fix it.” The Sun are back in action this weekend when they host the Kamloops Broncos at 2 p.m. at the Apple Bowl on Saturday.

The Kelowna Rockets continue to tinker with its roster as the Western Hockey League regular season approaches this weekend. After adding two 20-year-old players late last week, the Rockets traded a pair of its younger players to the Vancouver Giants on Monday, in exchange for draft picks. Forward Tanner Moar and defenceman Stewart Coyle were sent to Vancouver in exchange for a fourth round bantam draft pick in 2014 and a sixth rounder in 2015. “We had too many players and we are happy that we could find a place for Tanner and Stewart to play,” said Rockets president and general
manager Bruce Hamilton. On Saturday night, newly acquired WHL veterans J.T. Barnett and Dylen McKinlay both hit the ice at Prospera Place for the first time as members of the Kelowna Rockets and landed with a splash in the Rockets final preseason game. Barnett, 20, scored on his first shift and added two more goals for a hat trick while McKinlay also scored and added two assists in their Rockets debuts. Barnett was picked up off waivers while McKinlay only cost the Rockets a 5th round bantam pick. “Both of those guys

In overtime coach Rylan Ferster took the blame for having the wrong players on the ice. “It was very, very disappointing,” said Ferster. “Under a minute left and you think you have the right guys on the ice and you don’t.

Rockets develop unity with focus on practice wanted to come in here and prove what they could do and I thought they both played extremely well,” said Rockets’ assistant coach Dan Lambert. “They showed us they want to be here and they belong in the league and maybe a fresh start is what both those guys needed.” The goals came in an 8-1 win over Tri-City at Prospera Place as the Rockets closed out the WHL preseason with a 2-2-0-2 record. This weekend Kelowna opens the regular season with a home and home series against Kamloops, playing in Kamloops on Friday night before hosting its home opener on Saturday at Prospera Place. It’s a tough opening schedule for the Rockets as they will follow this weekend’s double-hearer against Kamloops with two games in Portland the following weekend, opening the season against two teams expected to be contenders in the WHL Western Conference. Lambert says the focus of practise this week is making sure all the players understand the way the Rockets want to play. “We want to make sure we are all on the same page and touch up
on everything this week,” said Lambert. “We want to make sure we play the right way. We don’t have
an easy start but we just want our guys to play the right way and worry about our own team.”

The Warriors, who scored five first period goals and had a lot of early jump in wins over Salmon Arm and Surrey last weekend, looked tight and tentative at times Friday. “Maybe it’s jitters opening up at home, but again I think you have to give them (Penticton) credit. They’re a very good hockey team,” says Ferster. “They play hard, they play well, so it was probably a little bit of both.” The Warriors will travel to Trail Friday before returning home to host the Vees again next Saturday.

Penticton defenceman James De Haas scored the game winner with 90 seconds left in double overtime Friday, giving the Penticton Vees a 4-3 victory over the West Kelowna Warriors. The loss spoiled the Warriors home opener witnessed by more than 1,200 raucous fans but left them in second place in the BCHL Interior Conference after two weeks of play at 2-0-0-1.

“We played well offensively in the beginning of the game, and generated goal scoring opportunities through the middle and the wings,” explained fifth-year forward Zach Donaldson-Hall (Kamloops). The Heat ended the weekend without a win, but also without a loss, after playing Langara to a 1-1 tie the day before. UBC Okanagan’s record now stands at 0-1-3. “Next weekend we need to come with the right mind set as a team
and get the points we need moving on,” added Donaldson-Hall. The Heat will continue play on the road, when the team travels to Nanaimo to face the Vancouver Island University Mariners on Saturday before traveling to Capilano University to face the Blues Sunday.

Chiefs dominate in seasonopening home and away games
The Kelowna Chiefs opened the KIJHL season with a pair of victories, using a strong power play in wins over Ferniej and Summerland. The Chiefs scored four power play goals on Saturday night at Rutland Arena, winning its home opener with a decisive 8-1 win. Mitchell Barker led the offense with three goals and an assist while Kevin Lenzin, Jordan Lingel, Brady Mende, Kyle Clerke and Jordan Salahor also scored. Chiefs veteran PJ Lawler racked up three assists while goaltender Tyler O’Donnell faced 30 shots in net. Scoring the lone goal for Fernie was Joel Burgess. The home opener victory followed a season opening win on the road over Summerland on Friday. O’Donnell posted a shutout as Kelowna defeated the Steam 3-0.

Calgary setter joins Heat
Briggs notches 2 goals, Tallon clean sheet in net
The UBC Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball team has landed a new setter in Ali Gill of Calgary. The 5-foot-9 freshman joins the Heat from Central Memorial High School. Gill will be a student in the Fine Arts program at UBC Okanagan this fall, looking to specialize in interdisciplinary performance. The ability to play varsity volleyball and enroll in fine arts was a deciding factor for her in joining the Heat. “Coming from a fine arts centered high school, I was immediately interested in the program offered at the school,” comments Gill. “After getting the
chance to audition on campus, and to meet with such flexible, accommodating volleyball coaches, I knew UBCO could offer me everything I wanted in postsecondary. In looking at other schools, it seemed I would have to choose between fine arts and volleyball, but with UBCO I really do get the both of best worlds.” Head Coach Steve Manuel is pleased to have Gill join his squad, adding
depth to the setter position for the Heat. “Ali is a great addition to our squad,” explains head coach Steve Manuel. “She is a hard worker and has worked with excellent coaches for the past while in Calgary. She was a member of the 18U Calgary team that recently won the Volleyball Canada 18U National Championship alongside another one of our recruits Megan Festival.”
“The chance to play with the Heat, be coached by Steve Manuel, and study drama is a rare and unbelievable opportunity,” adds Gill. “I could not be more excited and privileged to have the opportunity that I have here.” “We are extremely happy to have Ali in our program,” adds Manuel, relishing the increased depth at the vital setter position for his second season with the Heat in Canada West. Gill will add depth to the setter position that includes freshman Emily Oxland (North Vancouver) and sophomore Chandler Proch (Kelowna)
Heat Soccer A24 Quest College on Sunday, notching three goals in the first half to put away the Kermodes early. Tallying the goals for the Heat were Lindsey Briggs (3rd year, Delta), who scored in the 5th and 36th minutes, and Michelle Smith (2nd year, Vernon), who scored in the 40th minute. Christine Tallon (3rd year, Kamloops), in her second consecutive Sunday start in net, collected a clean sheet for her efforts. “It was another solid team performance today,” said head coach Claire
Paterson. “We moved the ball around the field well and were threatening in the final third. The work rate up front by Briggs, Dodds and Greig was fantastic which resulted in three great goals.” Despite a strong second half, the Heat were unable to notch a fourth goal. The best chance came in the 80th minute, when Jennifer Kidd (4th year, Richmond) rang a howitzer off the crossbar. “We played one of our best games so far this season,” said second-year forward Kirsten Dodds (Vernon). “We came together
as a team and the chemistry up front was awesome. The bar has been set for the rest of the season.” The Heat’s record now stands at 2-1-1, moving the team into an early second place tie with Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The Eagles are the only team to defeat the Heat so far this season. The Heat will continue their season on the road, when they travel to Nanaimo to face the Vancouver Island University Mariners on Saturday and will then travel to Capilano University to take on the Blues on Sunday.

JOHN NEWTON WOODWORTH 1924 - 2012 John was born July 25, 1924 in Vancouver to K.D. and Violet (Woolner) Woodworth. His older sisters, Mary and Nan, and younger brother Noel, so loved, are now deceased. When John was 8, his mother died in their home at Manhattan Point, Kelowna. His father, who’d also lost his job and savings that same week of the Depression, moved his family into tents on Soldier Settlement land in Oliver. John fished every creek in those dry hills. He loved their rustle of grass, the meadowlark’s call, and their smells of sage and cottonwood sap. In town, he loved the inky clatter of the newspaper printing. He took his typewriter into the Air Force at age 18. A Coastal Command pilot in World War Two, he came back to marry Nancy Bruce in 1946. John studied at UBC and became a registered architect in 1952, establishing his own firm in Kelowna, and serving the Okanagan until his retirement. He was interested in all the arts, particularly music and theatre, and designed the Kelowna Community Theatre and the Eric Harvie Theatre at the Banff Centre. His books include The Remodeling Game. He was a Man of the Community always available and willing to help with projects that would benefit Kelowna, the Okanagan and indeed, all of BC. Parks he and his friends worked so hard to preserve include Cathedral Mountain, Okanagan Mountain, and Brandt’s Creek. The Canadian government recognized his community service by making him a Member of the Order of Canada in 1990. His endless untiring enthusiasm and work established the Alexander Mackenzie Voyageur Route from Sea to Sea to Sea in 1995. The fullness of John’s life meant that over the years he received many awards but chief among his satisfactions was his joy in his family and friends. John died September 8, 2012 at the Village of Smith Creek in West Kelowna. He is survived by wife Nancy, by daughter Robin (Bob) and grandsons Mike (Erin) and Dan (Ronnie) plus great-grandchildren Emily and Sarah, and by daughter Carol (Luc) and grandchildren Jeanie (Mark), Heather (Cam) and Robert. We thank the Village of Smith Creek, the Webber staff, and Dr. Wickstrom for their compassionate care. John Woodworth’s Celebration of Life is at 1 pm Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012 at the Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC V1Y 5V8, 250-860-7077. In lieu of flowers, we suggest a donation to the Nature Trust of BC or charity of your choice. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.springfieldfuneralhome.com.

ADULT (approx) BORDER COLLIE CROSS SPAYED FEMALE
Hello there! My name is Jewel and I was being fed as a stray with my three kittens. When the lady who was feeding me had to move, she brought us into the shelter. I was living at a staff member’s house until my babies were of age. She has nothing but good things to say about me! Due to my life as an outdoor cat, I can be a little defensive, but I love to interact with people. I would be a wonderful candidate for a person who would love a social, yet independent cat.
Sandy is a super sweet, lovable dog who was transferred in order for us to adopt her out to her new, forever home. She will need lots of daily walks in order for her to lose that excess weight. She will also require regular grooming in order for her not to get matted. She would make a great family pet, but we require you to bring all your family members in to meet with her prior to adoption…because we know nothing of her background. She does not care for the company of other dogs.

Her previous owners described her as a wonderful dog sho is playful, friendly, loyal, gentle and affectionate… what more could you ask for!!! She is very well socialized and loves kids, lots of other dogs and children. Owner surrendered
ADULT PIT BULL TERRIER CROSS MALE
Spitz sure likes to cuddle and have her head scratched. She does well with other cats, but prefers her own space most of the time. She is a real beauty and can hardly wait to find her ‘forever home’. If you have a spot in your home and your heart to make Spitz feel loved and wanted, please come down and spend some time getting to know her. Came in as a stray
Titus is a very friendly, high energy dog. We know nothing of his likes and dislikes. We would prefer Titus go to a home who has experience with this breed. He needs exercise and exercise and more exercise. We can’t stress enough that his new guardians must keep his mind and body active to ensure he will be the amazing companion he was meant to be.

Tommy’s owners could not give him the time he needed. He is full of energy and will require an active family. He is mainly an outside dog, can jump a 4’ fence (so a secure fenced yard is mandatory), he would do well on a farm or acreage and has the potential to be a faithful loving member of your family.

Even though she fell in love with her, she could not keep her, but learned that she is terribly afraid of outdoors (was an indoor cat only). Is afraid of loud noises, but loves to be reassured. If you would like a mellow cat to bond with, please come down and get to know her. Abandonded

They are very social creatures, so we would love them to stay together, or if you have a Chinchilla, any of them would make an excellent friend. They do needs lots of love and attention, so previous experience is required. Please ask the staff to set up a viewing/meeting if you are interested in 1, 2 or all 3.
Kylie was just found wandering the streets. She is super affectionate and would so love to find her ‘forever home’. She would be a great friend for anybody, as she absolutely loves to interact. There are so many great things about her that you just have to meet her in ‘cat’! You won’t be disappointed. Found in Glenrosa

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen chicken on a platter Chicken is a standby in the kitchen where a few flavour alterations can turn it into a completely different dish. It’s like a palette on which you can brush whatever paint colours you feel like. Because it has a relatively mild flavour, it lends itself well to pairing with distinct flavours like lemon and lime; ginger and garlic; hot sauces and spices. It’s a reasonably-priced protein and without the skin and the pockets of fat that hide just under the skin, it’s also a very lean one. Both these dishes call for removal of all skin and visible fat. Boneless bits of chicken cook very quickly, so they are a good option for busy evenings when the cook arrives home from work to make a quick dinner before a meeting or activities in the evening. Adding a few vegetables to the dish or tossing together a side salad rounds out the nutritional needs of a main meal quickly and in an appetizing way. As our lives speed up with the beginning of school and a wide variety of activities for young and old, quick chicken dinners are valuable for busy nights. Even a chicken roasted on the weekend when there’s a little more time for cooking, makes wonderful meals a day or two later, as cold meat to be added to a salad with fresh fruit, nuts and a light dressing; or with a light sauce over rice or pasta, bulgur or quinoa. Chicken dishes often heat up well for lunches, or the meat can be sliced and served cold in a sandwich or wrap for lunch or snacks. It’s a very versatile meat. Look for more chicken recipes in my book, Jude’s Kitchen, available wherever books are sold, including Mosaic books downtown or in Rutland’s Willow Park; or at wineshops around the Okanagan.
Poppy Chicken with Lemon This chicken dish cooks up quickly and is just delicious served over thin egg noodles, which also cook very quickly. You could cut up the chicken and vegetables earlier in the day, then remove them from the refrigerator and cook this up in just a few minutes. Try pairing this with the Ganton & Larsen Prospect Winery’s 2011 Townsend Jack Unoaked Chardonnay, with its complementary citrus notes, harvest fruit flavours and crisp, dry finish. It’s a good value wine, as are the others in this series. 2-3 boneless chicken breasts or thighs 1 onion 1 celery stalk 1 carrot 1 tsp. (5 ml) cumin powder flour, salt & pepper, for dredging olive oil butter zest from half a lemon 1 clove minced garlic 1 c. (250 ml) chicken broth juice from half a lemon 1 tbsp. (15 ml) poppy seeds
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop onion, celery and carrot into small dice. Dust chicken pieces with cumin, then dredge them in flour, salt and pepper until well-covered in the mixture. Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick, or heavy-bottomed, deep frypan over mediumhigh heat. Add the onions and cook for a minute or two, then the celery and carrot and cook and stir for a few minutes. Meanwhile, zest half a lemon and mince the zest. Mince a clove of garlic, and set aside. Push the vegetables to the side of the pan or remove and add the chicken pieces and a pat of butter and cook, turning over after a couple of minutes, until nicely browned on both sides. Add lemon zest and garlic to the pan and stir about with the chicken and vegetables. Add chicken broth and stir in until the mixture is bubbling and becomes slightly thickened. Add the lemon juice and poppy seeds and serve over rice or egg noodles. Serves 2 or 3.
JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
Donna's Ginger-Lime Chicken This is based on a WeightWatchers’ recipe, but a few alterations have been made to it. The chicken comes out moist and flavourful, as long as it’s not overcooked. Serve with a variety of salads or a vegetable rice pilaf. Leftovers are delicious sliced up cold in a green salad. Try pairing this with the Ganton & Larsen Prospect Winery’s 2011 Larch Tree Hill Riesling. The notes of fresh lime in this wine match well with the lime in this dish, while the well-rounded fruit flavours go well with the honey and ginger in the chicken marinade. It’s a well-balanced wine that goes well with exotic spices. 4 small chicken breasts or thighs 1/4 c. (60 ml) low-sodium soy sauce 3 tbsp. (45 ml) fresh lime juice 2 tsp. (10 ml) finely minced lime zest 2 tbsp. (30 ml) finely minced ginger root 4 cloves minced garlic 1 tbsp. (15 ml) honey 1 tsp. (5 ml) favourite hot sauce 1/4 c. (60 ml) fresh cilantro, chopped
Bone and skin chicken breasts or thighs. Combine soy sauce, lime juice and zest, ginger, garlic, honey and your favourite hot sauce (mine is Sriracha) with a couple of spoonfuls of the chopped cilantro in a glass dish or bowl which will hold the chicken snugly. Before adding the chicken, remove a couple of spoonfuls of the marinade to brush on the chicken as it finishes cooking. Add chicken to the marinade, turn to coat all of it, and cover and refrigerate for two to 4 hours. You may either barbecue or broil the chicken pieces to cook them. Either way, remove the chicken from the marinade and broil or barbecue over high heat for about five minutes a side, brushing the top with reserved marinade once you turn them. When chicken is barely done, but not over-cooked, remove and serve sprinkled with the remaining chopped fresh cilantro. Serves 4.

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