Trail of red tells tale of the Trepanier Fire Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

FLAMES AND SMOKE rise out of Peachland and the surrounding area on Sunday afternoon as helicopters (left) and air tankers (above) dump water and fire retardant on the Trepanier Fire. DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
Monday when they were brought up the hillside to sift through the charred remnants of their homes and possessions. “This was a winddriven event,” stressed Jim Mottishaw, a forest protection officer who helped co-ordinate the air assault, noting the fire moved three kilometres over the course of an hour. That said, he’s confident the damage was kept at a minimum despite windy and dangerous conditions. They just don’t look like they did when they
were evacuated. “Besides the homes lost, there are quite a few painted red (from retardant),” he said. Red tinged roads, houses, cars and the burnt husks of trees and brush around a number of residential houses should offer some insight into how narrowly damage was averted, he said, noting that the Ponderosa golf course may be the unsung hero of the firefight. Years previous, when trees were removed and the area was landscaped, a fire barrier was in-
advertently built and that helped the battle on the Trepanier side of the fire. That’s in part how crews gained the upper hand there—reporting containment on that side of the fire— but the Pincushion side of the mountain is another story. It’s yet to be contained, and the challenge will be putting out hotspots and burning that is spread over a significant swath of land. That said, the efforts to date have been heartening to Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding.
His “heart goes out to” those who have lost property, but the effort to date has given him confidence that the fire will be dealt with swiftly. What’s yet to be dealt with, however, is sussing out the cause of the fire. Speculation has run rampant and everything from a house fire gone wild to a stray meteor and discarded cigarette have been tossed around as theories. Officials refused to comment on any possible causes. All that’s clear is that
the fire started around 3 p.m. near Trepanier Creek Greenway Regional Park and grew steadily, despite an early assault from helicopters bucketing water. The challenge was winds moving from 50 to 60 km per hour that whipped a small fire into a gargantuan blaze by 6 p.m. At that point it was measured at roughly 100 hectares and just a few hours later it had doubled. Due to the speed it was moving, an evacuation order was issued for the about 1,500 residents
living southwest of the Okanagan Connector including Trepanier Road and it was clear from the start that danger was imminent. That was downgraded to an evacuation alert for more than 1,100 residents by Monday night. Several people who arrived at the Emergency Support Services reception centre in Westbank said they saw at least two houses in flames, including one close to the HainSee Fire A3

Four houses and several outbuildings were casualties of the Trepanier blaze that broke out Sunday afternoon, but officials aren’t ruling out the possibility that tally could rise in the days ahead if the weather mounts a challenge. “There are hotspots and trees burning and we’re expecting 50 km/h winds…and it may not rain,” said Peachland fire chief Grant Topham, outlining lingering problems related to the 200 hectare Peachland fire, that was sitting at 50 per cent containment by Monday afternoon. Those conditions, he explained, could put crews in the same position they faced when fires encroached on a residential area the day before. “The wind was blowing hard” and, despite dozens of firefighters’ efforts, several streams of flames pushed out of their reach. “You have to remember the wind was blowing very hard in that area and we had crews in there. We saved many, many homes,” said Topham. Two homes in the Trepanier area went up in tandem, then another, and one more abandoned property on the regional district side of the fire. All efforts to douse the flames were stymied, as their owners learned

No time to Little time to prepare for evacuation delay evacuation ▼ TREPANIER FIRE
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Evacuated Peachland residents who arrived at the Emergency Social Services reception centre set up in the Westbank Lions Community Hall Sunday evening said they had little time to prepare to leave. “I was out during the day and when I got home my neighbour called and asked if I had heard about the evacuation alert,” said Peachland school board trustee Moyra Baxter. “The next thing I knew the police were in the street telling us to leave.” Many of the evacuees and those on evacuation alert—roughly 1,500 according to the regional district—left with the clothes on their backs, their pets and a few personal belongings. “I only had a few minutes,” said Joe Zucchero, who lives on Trepanier Bench Road. He said he grabbed his dog Maya, his iPad and
bolted as quickly as possible. “I saw the flames as I drove down Trapanier Bench Road. For others, like Charles Kilpatrick, who left with the three other people in his house on Sutherland Rand, and his dog Scooby, the flames were too close for comfort. He said he saw two houses on fire, one in the Desert Pines area and another above the Hainle Vineyards Winery, which is located on Trepanier Road. Kilpatrick, said he managed to spray down the outside of his house with water before leaving. A seven-year resident of the area, he said he remembered watching fires like this before elsewhere in the Central Okanagan—the Glenrosa fire in 2009, the one near Seclusion Bay in 2010 and even the Okanagan Mountain Park wildfire that hit the southern area of the Mission in Kelowna in 2003. Sunday’s fire in
Fire from A1 le Vineyards Winery. “The house right above the winery was in flames and (Trapanier) road was closed and we had to turn around,” said Moyra Baxter, the Peachland area school trustee who was one of the people evacuated. She said it appeared fire retardant had been dumped on and around the winery. Baxter said she was concerned about the fate of the Peachland Elementary School because the fire was believed to have burned over the hill behind the nearby IGA grocery store, which is located beside the school. When she left her home on Sutherland Road, flames were about seven or eight properties away from her home.

ARRIVING AT the evacation centre in West Kelowna on Sunday afternoon were Raine Dionne, 15, along with his sister Denver, 13, and his cousin Alax Ross, 17, and their dog Kiba. Peachland was “eerie,” he said because the day was so similar to the day the Glenrosa fire started, warm and extremely windy, with a wind that kept changing directions. At its height, the wind
Fire leaves Peachland elementary school at risk Students and teachers of Peachland Elementary will have to get used to a new routine if the wildfire that shut the school down Monday isn’t soon under control. School superintendent Hugh Gloster said a contingency plan has been put in place that will allow the education process to continue, assuming the Trepanier fire continues to smoulder and flare on the hillside behind the school. Staff and students are to report to the gymnasium at George Pringle elementary on the Westside Tuesday morning, he said. “We will have an assembly and
THE
will arrange students and teachers,” he said. Then they’ll have to go to class. Before that happens, however, there’s the matter of transportation, which Gloster also addressed. A bus will run from Beach Avenue, in Peachland, at 8:10 a.m., and it will return to the same spot after classes. For more information parents are advised to monitor their local media and the School District website (www.sd23.bc.ca) for updates. If the evacuation order remains in effect for an extended period of time, an alternate location will be established for students and teachers.

was estimated to be blowing at 40 kilometres per hour with gusts up to 60 kilometres per hour. Tales of picking up and leaving in a hurry were common at the reception centre in Westbank. As people streamed in, they told tales of seeing the flames and the heavy smoke as the fled. Fifteen-year-old Raine Dionne, who along with his sister Denver, 13, and his cousin Alax Ross, 17, left with their dog Kiba and said his mom stayed in the area to help evacuate the large number of horses that are kept on properties in the Trepanier area. A large number of horse trailers were seen heading into the area. As of late Sunday there was no word on the plight of another wildlife centre, Parrot Island, a sanctuary for rescued parrots that is located right in the middle of the fire area in Trepanier. Dionne said he smelled smoke earlier in the day and then saw large clouds

He said given how fast the smoke was moving, he thought the flames would not be far behind so, after texting his mother, quickly gathered up some essentials and left with his sister and cousin and the family dog. The fire is believed to have started in the Trepanier area where there are a lot of dead trees that have not been removed, said Kilpatrick. Regional district information officer Bruce Smith at 7:15 p.m. Sunday, the evacuation order covering 593 properties (an estimated 950 people) had been issued and another 375 properties, with an estimated 600 people, were on evacuation alert in the Peachland area.

THE SMOKE HOVERED over businesses along the highway running through Peachland on Sunday. Like many of the other people at the Westbank reception centre, Baxter said she left with the clothes on her back and little else and that in itself fuelled frenzy. By nightfall the flames lit up the small town and crews continued to work on building a fire barrier, as water bombers retired for the evening. There were no change to existing evacuation orders and alerts overnight either, and the 1,550 people ordered to evacuate and 432 placed on evacuation alert remained in the lurch until late Monday afternoon when most were allowed to return but remain in alert. RCMP and Central Okanagan Search and Rescue volunteers continue to staff checkpoints to ensure security within the evacuation area. Until the evacuation order is rescinded, no one will be allowed within the area unless authorized by emergency personnel. Kelowna and West Kelowna RCMP continue to maintain security of the affected area. The RCMP is supporting the emergency operations actioning this forest fire. The RCMP continues to provide policing service to areas not affected by the fire and is working with government agencies and volunteers to ensure everyone’s safety. New information and updates on the Evacuation Orders and Alerts will be available on the Regional District Emergency Program website www. cordemergency.ca and updates will also be there and released to the media as soon as it becomes available.

Bernard road work could go 24 hours/day summer or will take place during July and August 2013, considered prime construction seasons. “As a result, the contractor will have to implement two shifts in order to meet project completion deadlines,” he said in a report to council on Monday. The $14-million road project, which kicked off Tuesday,

SEKID water users face hefty increases High risk sex Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
If houses instead of trees were grown in South East Kelowna, it wouldn’t cost individuals so much to pay for the $22.3 million required to improve water quality in that irrigation district. However, much of the district is composed of farms, vineyards and orchards which are part of the Agricultural Land Reserve, so expensive infrastructure has to be built for a long distance between users. SEKID manager Toby Pike notes that while 22 per cent of the city’s land mass is in the irrigation district, only five per cent of the city’s population lives there, and they will have to pay for twinning the distribution system in order for clear well water to be
delivered to homes, while notso-clear creek water continues to service agricultural connections. The board of directors for SEKID considered a report about five years ago that detailed the options for improving drinking water quality to the level being required by Interior Health, and agreed with Associated Engineering’s recommendation of this one, explained Pike. To build an adequate treatment plant to service water for the whole district to bring the water quality up to IH standards would have cost $55 million then, and it’s expected it would cost much more now. “There’s no doubt it will be expensive,” conceded Pike. The board decided to take the alternate approval process for taxpayer approval of the borrow-
ing required, so if fewer than 10 per cent of ratepayers have registered an objection to the proposal by Oct. 25, it will go ahead. Three open houses are planned to discuss details of the project: Tuesday, Sept. 25, 4 to 9 p.m. at the East Kelowna Community Hall; Monday, Oct. 1, 2 to 9 p.m. at the Gallagher’s Canyon Club House; and Wednesday, Oct. 3, 4 to 9 p.m. at the Kelowna and District Fish and Game Club. The plan is to phase in the improvements, and the cost of them, over 10 years, and charge rates that are based on the level of use. Meters will be installed on domestic connections, as they are already on agriculture connections. Just as agriculture users who waste water now pay higher rates, so too will domestic water wast-
ers pay more under the new rate system, noted Pike. Domestic users will face increases of 10 per cent a year over the 10-year period, plus a monthly levy of $42. The annual water tax of $82 will increase by two per cent a year for both domestic and agricultural users. By 2022, based on current rates, it’s estimated that most domestic users would be paying about $1,500 a year, plus that annual water tax. The monthly fee won’t be instituted until the system is up and running. First to notice the difference will be those in more-densely populated areas such as Gallagher’s Canyon, McCulloch Road and Hall Road. Pike said the district continues to lobby the provincial government for support for the project.
Kelowna looks over possibility to host Ironman Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
It hasn’t said it wants to host the Ironman Canada contest, but Kelowna is looking at the possibility. The city’s director of parks and recreational services, Jim Gabriel,
said Friday the city is reviewing a request for proposals issued by Floridabased World Triathlon Corporation, which owns the rights to the race that called Penticton home for 30 years. It was announced last month that this year marked the final Ironman
Canada competition in the Peach City. “Right now we are trying to understand what the RFP would require here,” said Gabriel. “We are going through it, trying to understand what they are looking for.” He said while the staging of the swim and run
...because we live here.
components would not be difficult here, the cycling component would be a challenge because of Kelowna’s location in the valley. In Penticton, the cycling route took riders deep into the south Okanagan and over some mountain passes. The volunteer demand is another challenge, said Gabiel, as would be the timing. He said the city does not want to do anything that would adversely affect the existing Apple Triathlon, which has been held here for 31 years. Traditionally, the Apple Triathlon has been run the week before the Ironman Canada event in Penticton.
Another issue is the cost to the city. Gabriel said it is his understanding that the Ironman event held in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, each year costs that community $75,000 cash and $50,000 in in-kind associated costs. Calling the review of the RFP “due diligence,” Gabriel said part of the work will involve a “high level” phone survey in the city to gauge public support and participation in the Ironman event if it was to be held here. The results of that survey will be known by the time the city wraps up its work studying the RFP. The closing date for the RFP is Sept. 24.
offender lands in Kelowna A high risk sexual offender is moving to Kelowna, Mounties announced Friday. Timothy Everett Rahm, 36, was released from a federal corrections institution and will be residing in the Okanagan, effectively immediately. Rahm—a five-footfive, 137-pound Metis man with brown hair and blue eyes—was convicted in April 2005 of sexual assault with a weapon in an Alberta court. According to documents, Rahm forced himself on a prostitute who had attended his residence to perform a sexual service. The cost was $500, but when she arrived and asked for payment Rahm handed her a wad of Canadian Tire money instead. She reportedly told him that wouldn’t work, and he responded by threatening her with a knife and forcing himself on her. Rahm is currently bound by a recognizance of bail, is being supervised by the Kelowna probation office and is being monitored by the Kelowna RCMP. Rahm must abide by various court ordered conditions of his release including the following: • To keep the peace

Expert advises homeowners to stop wasting water on lawns Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Okanagan residents must stop watering lawns, said Chris Wood, an author who has written fre-
quently about the critical role water plays in the economy. “The water used on Okanagan lawns could support the indoor water needs of three times the
valley’s current population,” he explained. In order to “get the best bang per drop,” Wood said we need a better return on our water investment. We need to capture the value

of nature. “You’re familiar with National Security; but now you need to be concerned about natural security,” he told the politicians and others attending the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s annual meeting Friday in Kelowna. The theme of this year’s meeting was Recognizing the Value of Water. Wood has worked extensively in Canada, the U.S. and abroad and written seven books, including Dry Spring: the Coming Water Crisis in North America. “The value of natural systems (on a global basis) has gone up,” he said. Until 1980, we had more water than we knew what to do with, but today the trend is to us using more than nature can sup-
Chris Wood ply, he explained. He called it an “ecooverdraft. Climate change is a reflection of us overloading the Earth’s ability to metabolize the carbon dioxide we’re producing.” Although the Okanagan is way ahead on many fronts, not enough is being done to capture the value of nature, he said. He said we lose 3.5 cubic kilometres of water every year to climate
change alone, an amount that is roughly enough to supply all Canadian households for a year. As water becomes even more scarce in other parts of the world, people will move from those water-stressed areas to areas where water is more plentiful, including Canada. This area is very attractive to people with high human and financial capital, he noted. However, even without such a burgeoning population, Canada is not exactly swimming in water, he said. We have issues with exotic chemicals and pharmaceuticals, including endocrine-disrupting compounds and we’re not certain of the extent of their impact yet. However, he noted, already there are more girls
being born than boys, and water treatment plants don’t remove these compounds, he added. And, there are other issues with our water: heavy rains de-stabilize slopes, hotter summers empty our reservoirs and wildfires expose watersheds to erosion, he noted. Water in the Okanagan is used for high-value agriculture; water-based recreation; water qualitydependent industry and as a refuge for high-networth individuals, he said. It’s important that the valley gather data on its water use so management decision better reflect its value, he said. Meter everything, share and pool data and get behind new ideas, he advised. “Value your water and your landscapes.” jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
Blue Water Project $400,000 grant will bring Syilx view to water management Member of CDIC
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
A grant of $400,000 from the Royal Bank of Canada’s Blue Water Project will allow the Okanagan Nation Alliance and White Valley Community Centre of Lumby to embark on a four-year project to gather the thoughts of the Syilx people about water and translate them
for the rest of the world. James Pepper, natural resource manager for the ONA said he will begin with more than a year of community engagement, travelling throughout the Okanagan Nation, on both sides of the international border, to interview the elders and the knowledge-holders, hold meetings, workshops and focus groups.
That information will then be written down in a way than can be understood by Western people so that the indigenous people’s perspective can be integrated into contemporary water management, he explained. The Syilx people’s territory includes the Okanagan south into Washington State, the Similkameen and Nicola Valleys,

and the Kootenays to the Rockies: three watersheds, he said. Pepper grew up in Alert Bay and first served as a fisheries biologist with the coastal First Nations peoples, writing his thesis on First Nations. This is the first time an effort has been made to get the First Nations vision of water articulated in a way that can be understood by all people, he said. Syilx knowledgeholder Leon Louis explained to those attending the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s annual meeting Friday in Kelowna, that his people have been in the Okanagan for thousands of years and had been managing the land well until the rest of the world came. “Today we use water in a dis-respectful way. If we want this water to be here for the future, we need to take care of it. “Our people have a lot of knowledge. We want to share it,” he said. Pepper said the Syilx nation has been caretaker of the water for thousands of years and the way they look at the land is different from how the Western world looks at things. He intends to take that view and translate it into a way that will be understood by the Western world so that its management becomes something all can work on together. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Focus on water Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Friday afternoon, UBCO revealed a new position on its campus dersigned to bring the community, politics, its researchers and industry together to examine water resource management. Economics professor John Janmaat will now serve in a position called the B.C. Regional Innovation Chair in Water Resources and Ecosystem Sustainability. “People want water for a whole lot of things. The big challenge is figuring out how we’re goting to share it,” said Janmaat. “This is a very dry valley and we have a limited amount of water that twe have to figure out how to share among the varirous different interests for which we see water as being important, ranging from protecting the environment to agriculture to urban industrial growth.” Sponsored by the provincial government’s Leading Edge Endowment Fund to the tune of $1.25 million, the $2.5-million position brings together funds from industry, government and academia. The industry partner, tthe Real Estate Foundation of B.C., provided $250,000 while local government leaders on the Okanagan Basin Water tBoard provided another f$500,000 to the pot and the Columbia Basin Trust some $150,000. The money is already going toward a string of research projects like Janmaat’s ongoing effort to monitor residential water use in Kelowna and a new doctoral student’s work developing a hydrologic rand economic model of the Columbia Basin. The model should fflush out important issues before the Columbia Rivrer Treaty governing crossboarder water use in B.C., Washington and Oregon is renegotiated. The basin houses four dams for tflood control and to generate hydro electricity. “The more we examined the need for water rand ecosystem management, the more apparent it became that this region can learn a great deal from its own experiences,” said Cynthia Mathietson, dean of the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. Mathieson indicated it took some time to establish the position as it demands international cooperation in addition to pushing industry and gov-
ernment to work together. Yet she also noted the partnership has global implications. “We can learn a great deal from ourselves, but also help other parts of Canada and the world become better stewards of water resources,” she said. Janmaat has already been working in Nepal with a post-doctoral fellow where a partnership with the International Water Management Institute is helping them identify optimum water storage technology for rural mountain villages. “I see tremendous potential to make the Okanagan campus of UBC a globally recognized centre for multidisciplinary research that addresses important water challenges around the world,” he said. Some of the other projects highlighted at the press conference delineating what’s to come included work on water quality and quantity, modelling and measurement in the Columbia Basin. Janmaat is also working with UBCO researchers Craig Nichol and Adam Wei

Forest fire rears its ugly head again
H
ere we go again. Another beautiful valley weekend marred by the formidable sight of forest fire smoke rising over a Central Okanagan community. What started out as a quiet Sunday in Peachland suddenly turned into anything but that. Evacuation alerts suddenly were posted. Residents told by police to leave their homes with barely a moment’s notice. Fire, police and emergency response officials scrambling to react to a
raging forest fire emboldened with ideal burning conditions. It’s all too familiar, the Trepanier fire becoming yet another community-threatening blaze sparked in our region. Starting in 2003, The Okanagan Mountain Park fire tore through neighbourhoods in the Upper Mission and left a charred mark on the surrounding hillside that still exists today. That was followed by the Glenrosa fire that threatened to torch that West Kelowna neigh-
bourhood. And there was the Terrace Mountain blaze that sent rural residents along the westside shores of Okanagan Lake fleeing for safety. And now it’s Peachland’s turn in the second week of September, a time when one might think concern for forest fires might begin to wane. The fire season for our region starts in May and continues now, apparently, into September. That’s why we need to be thinking fire prevention all the
time, evident by the scorched earth reminders all around us from those past fires. The weather wonks out there will point to climate change as a source of all this fire and destruction. Maybe, maybe not, but what we do know is we live in a beautiful valley with many great lifestyle attributes, one being to live on the doorstep of our surrounding nature. But we’ve been reminded there is a downside to that, one we always need to be vigilant about.

LETTERS ▼ BAD DRIVING
AUTO SALES.COM
2007 JEEP LIBERTY
Time to follow the rules of the road To the editor: Is it just me, or are there others who follow the rules of the road? When driving down Springfield Road, the road I happen to live on, it is not uncommon for me to be able to tell the eye colour of the driver behind me. Of course, I am being a nuisance because I am obeying the law and driving within a few kilometers of the 50 km/h speed limit. So I should expect the grill of the car behind me to threaten my rear bumper menacingly. Bullying is a taught behaviour, so drivers out there think about that when you are shouting obscenities at the stranger driving the speed limit in front of you. I wish Springfield was the only road where people drive dangerously, but sadly that is not the case. I was recently passed twice on Holly-
wood Road. Was I on my cell phone? Was I driving slowly to spot an address? No, I was driving 50 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. A week ago I was passed by a high powered motorcycle travelling a about 160 km/h before turning into a closed neighbourhood near Quigley Road. Thank goodness no children were crossing the street or no parents pushing strollers, because at the rate the bike was going there would have been no stopping. Another time recently, while driving south on Hollywood Road from Highway 33, I was again passed, this time by a woman in a minivan. She rode my bumper for a block or two before passing me, crossing a solid yellow and entering oncoming traffic.
Was I driving too slowly? No, a cop would have been happy to see me clipping along at the 50 km/h speed limit. This lady was obviously in a rush to get to life saving surgery, or perhaps she was in labour and needed to pop a baby out ASAP. She passed me and promptly proceeded to carry on at five to 10 km/h over the speed limit until we met again at Springfield Road. Is speeding such a necessity? Do you really get to your destination that much faster if you speed? While you allow your heart to race in anger, that artery throbbing on your forehead pulsing with each nasty thought about the person who dares drive defensively, remember this: I will see you at the next light. Clayton Dorcas, Kelowna
▼ WAR ON DRUGS
▼ POLITICS
Economic argument to legalize pot Shop carefully before voting To the editor: As it stands, the availability of illegal drugs is in the hands of the drug dealers, their clients being our children, friends, family and co-workers. Billions of dollars in tax-free transactions goes to a guy with zero credentials. Thank you, law makers, I feel much more at ease. Alcohol goes far back in human history, along with psilocybin mushrooms, marijuana, opium and cocaine. Only alcohol and tobacco scooted past the legal barriers to be sold at the counters; the others’ effects are covered by pharmaceuticals. Alcohol faced this legal barrier in the 1920s prohibition era. During that time, its availability, purity and safety relied on
whatever the bootleggers were pawning. People were poisoned, while others suffered debilitating side effects. Availability had no age limit, and its use went from a social habit to a hidden one. The underground market flourished while the prohibition era enforcement agencies futilely tried to take them down. When prohibition ended, a series of legal codes, regulations, and enforcement limited its availability and has been under reasonable control ever since. If alcohol was never on the scene and suddenly became popular “with the kids,” I’m pretty sure it would be frowned upon and deemed one of those dangerous party drugs. Six thousand alcohol-
related Canadian deaths each year; 47,000 overall deaths related to substance abuse. Alcohol damages the liver and pancreas and, in extreme cases, has developed into a feminization syndrome in men. Medical testing shows marijuana to be an appetite stimulant for AIDS patients, act as an anti-epileptic, ward off asthma attacks and migraine headaches, alleviate chronic pain, and reduce the muscle spasticity that accompanies multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and paraplegia. Under U.S. law, the people needing this therapy, if they can access it at all, must jump through legal hoops or face possible imprisonment if caught with it. Is Canada far behind?
Marijuana legalization is a choice that society has to make, and our elected leaders must understand our stance. If the purpose of prohibition is to banish it, that is dismissing the billions it currently creates in an underground economy. I want my enforcement focusing on crackhouses, meth labs, and smuggling, not chasing down hippies and throwing them through the system. As it stands, it is easier for our kids to acquire illegal drugs than get alcohol or tobacco. When buying a bag of weed, before the guy asks, ‘How much?’ he should be asking, “Can I see some I.D.?” Darrin Fiddler, Kelowna
Put civic donations towards housing To the editor: Communities are beginning to compare themselves to each other as to how much they donate during Christmas, especially to the food bank. Last year Kelowna, as I checked the giving according to the newspaper, was around $800. On page 123 in the book, A journey…, one year Lake Country gave
$5,731.80. There must be a stop to that kind of giving. There is, for instance, the Kelowna Gospel Mission that offers meals and an income tax deductible receipt. Money donated to food banks would be better spent to build housing. I write from experience, having worked in a drop-in-centre for two years. Norman H. Fehr, Rutland
▼ PEACHLAND FIRE
Emergency preparedness holds its record of keeping lives safe Waters from A10 ing said he had been told three or four homes had burned but he was waiting to hear from the fire investigation team. A news conference a little later in the morning
confirmed that number— three houses in Peachland were gone and one, an abandoned building located outside the municipal boundary in the regional district, had also been destroyed. Any loss is too much
but let’s hope the firefighters can keep the numbers that low in the coming days as they fight to contain this fire. Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor. awaters@kelownacapnews.com
To the editor: As one listens and reads all the news about the Liberal government’s problems, it reminds me of buying a new car. The old model has parts falling off, the motor loses power, the fuel economy has gone to pot and it starts to look very shabby. So we have to go shopping for something that will do a better job and not depend on its warranty to keep running properly. After all, the warranty is not what we are buying. We don’t have a large selection but most of the politicians out there have been around for a while, so choose wisely and pick the right model. Ron Barnard, Kelowna

Twelve local authors showed off their publications Saturday at Mosaic Books and helped further the message that literacy is the foundation of learning. The event, held on International Literacy Day, was organized by Marilyn Strong. It aimed to bring public awareness of literacy in
the community, promote some of the Okanagan’s authors and provide Project Literacy Kelowna with books from those authors. “(Executive director) Blair Lischeron was just astounded when I phoned him, told him what we were doing and asked if he would be interested in having copies of our books donated to (Project Literacy Kelowna’s) library,” said Strong.

Mosaic Books was quiet for the first hour of the event, but eventually it picked up and the authors were busy chatting with those interested in their work. “It’s downtown Kelowna and we know they’re doing the construction, so we’re thrilled with the turnout,” said Strong. One of the authors at Saturday’s event was Ralph Milton. Milton has lived in the region for over 20 years and written nearly 20 books. “My books are a rare combination between spirituality on one hand and humour on the other,” said Milton. He mentioned he was happy to be a part of Saturday’s event because literacy is a vital part of getting through day-to-day life. “Literacy is desperately important for anybody that tries to survive in this culture. “And by being able to read, I don’t mean just being able to read the stop signs on the streets. I mean being able to sit down with something lengthy and enjoy reading it all the way through. “From that comes great richness and power to life.” That depth is lacking in many messages that are delivered these days, he said. “The problem with
News from your community Capital News
the media right now is the tendency to encapsulate everything. “To try to describe reality with 200 words or a 20-second television sound bite, it oversimplifies reality.” Michele Neill, one of the owners of Mosaic Books, understands the importance of books in society. The bookstore branched out Saturday and held the grand opening of its second location in Rutland. Neill said the move was partially strategic during the downtown construction phase, but added there was demand for a bookstore in the area. She said she’s been encouraged by the age of many people walking into the bookstores. “We’re finding our strongest growth area is teens. They come in here constantly and buy stacks of books. “You’d think they’d be getting into e-readers and stuff like that,” said Neill. “We get a lot of people that were given Kindles for Christmas, but they’re still coming in and buying books.” For Strong, it doesn’t matter how people choose to look at words, it’s just important that they are reading. “I don’t care whether they borrow a book from the library, buy one, download one from Kindle, borrow one from a friend, it doesn’t matter,” said Strong. “Reading is important.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

BUSINESS
The task to create a ‘certified’ entrepreneurial community
I
received an email recently from a former entrepreneurship university professor I met years ago during my work with Babson College in Boston and the Kauffmann Entrepreneurship Foundation. We had since remained pieces in a North American entrepreneurial network comprised of industry/business/government and academia who sought to share and exchange whenever the occasion suited. My friend emailed to ask if I had heard of the phrase, “a certified entrepreneurial Community.” Despite the volume of entrepreneurial research I conduct annually, I had not heard that phrase before. His email went on to describe that a Certified Entrepreneurial Community is an economic development strategy— a unique, innovative program that helps communities become entrepreneur ready. This means that the
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young overall business climate, policies, regulations and opportunities to learn and grow are simple to find and available in a given geographical location. However, it also means, and now my attention was ebbing, there exists a positive, enthusiastic attitude that permeates the regional culture. One that asks: “How can we help you start and succeed at your entrepreneurial venture?” Take a moment to realize that this wonderful concept is recognizing clearly that entrepreneurship is best nurtured on a local grassroots level. This means an effort to get local leadership involved, to create regional teams that welcome and work with entrepreneurs.
I truly believe this economic development strategy is integral to the growth of our communities. And I now found myself, after going through my friends dictum, thinking we should explore adding this concept to the Okanagan landscape. To assure total buyin, local communities will need to go through a process to secure a resolution from their governing authorities endorsing and supporting implementation of such a program. There are but five steps in the entrepreneurial community certification nuts and bolts process: • assurance our region would be committed to the process from top to bottom • assessing the region’s current entrepreneurial landscape • creating a comprehensive strategy for entrepreneurial growth • marshalling the region’s entrepreneurial resources • identifying and nur-
turing the regions most promising entrepreneurial talents. Wow, this sounds exactly like the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurship Strategy that was undertaken by a group of our community leaders, including our Okanagan Valley Entrepreneur Society, in September 2011. Those roundtable discussions will lead to a final strategy outline report being assembled by students from UBC Okanagan this fall. So now that I’m really pumped, let’s explore this topic of entrepreneurial community building a little closer. Building an entrepreneurial community means doing everything we can to welcome, develop and support entrepreneurs. And, really and truly, it doesn’t have to be that hard. There is no free lunch. Yes, it will take work to build our region so it may become a self-credentialed certified entrepreneurial community that
likely won’t need much in the way of ridiculous budgeting. Here are some ways of becoming entrepreneur-friendly in the Okanagan: 1.Appreciate our entrepreneurs—feature them in the media channels from Salmon Arm to Osoyoos; pass city councils resolutions supporting entrepreneurs; integrate entrepreneurship into local economic development plans; give Chamber of Commerce and other business organizational awards. 2. Use partnership, collaboration and cooperation—utilize existing and planned low-cost or free services pertaining to entrepreneurial start-ups, expansion and diversification; leverage local resources, including educational institutions, libraries and economic development and career oriented organizations;
explore realistic and realizable opportunities to share projects, activities and initiatives pertaining to entrepreneurship and small business development climate 3. Promote socializing—establish networks and organize interest groups, use technology to publish blogs about our region, use social media to its fullest to trumpet the virtues of region as entrepreneur-friendly environment, and promote data services that are available. 4. Consider these facts—entrepreneurs are important to our Okanagan economy; critical to the stability and growth of our landscape; and our regional governments need to be intentional in their support of this powerful economic development tool. We are so close to achieving wonderful outcomes pertaining to the creation of a certified
entrepreneurial community. We have the right ingredients; we need to formalize this concept with identified criteria such as I have given examples of in this column and to work together from top to bottom in the region to make our Okanagan a leading entrepreneurial centre in western Canada and an example for all of North America. I know we can do it. ••• A reminder that I am seeking local entrepreneurial stories for my upcoming Shaw cable television series, The Fire Within.

Bullying happens more often than parents, or school principals, would like to admit. If your child is being bullied at school, don’t ignore it. Let your school administrator or child’s teacher know what’s going on and then teach your child how to respond in a healthy, responsible way with these five tips. • BE STRONG. Crying excessively or playing up the victim role only attracts more attention from bullies. Teach your child to be confident and firm with a bully. By learning how to stand his ground, your child can discourage a bully from targeting him. • FIND AN ALLY. Instruct your child to find a teacher or an older, influential or popular classmate if the bully becomes aggressive. • AVOID THE INSTIGATOR. Tell your child
to avoid id the h bbully ll whenh ever possible. If he doesn’t physically encounter the bully, the bully can’t physically hurt him. • DON’T BE A LONER. Bullies often pick on children who don’t have friends to protect them at

Life gets iinteresting Lif i when you have children close in age to each other. Younger siblings usually want to emulate older siblings. This often results in them being involved in the same activities, having the same friends and trying out for the same teams. Feelings can easily get hurt and rivalries can develop when one sibling makes a team or club and the other doesn’t. Fulfill these three roles to encourage and support siblings when one is dealing with disappointment and the other is feeling fine. Be a Teacher. Use the situation as a learning opportunity for your children. Life is full of disappointments and learning how to accept disappointment is a
valuable skill. Teach each of your children the skill of showing sensitivity to others. Help them congratulate and console each other. Be a Counselor. Your role as a parent is to pull each child aside and talk to him or her about what they are going through. Discuss the feelings that come along with that experience (i.e., awkwardness, jealousy, anger, excitement) and what each child can do to manage those feelings. Then help each child see things from the other sibling’s point of view. Be a Coach. Remind your children that you are a family and families support each other at all times. Practice makes perfect, so practice with each child how it might sound to say, “Congratulations” or “I’m sorry you didn’t make the team” by role-playing with each of them. Encourage each child to deliver the message you practiced to the other. Neither child is right or wrong for feeling how they feel when one experiences disappointment and the other experiences success. Help your children develop unique interests and mature as individuals.

F
ood for thought— do you think healthy eating is all about dieting and sacrifice? Think again. Eating well is a lifestyle that embraces colourful food, creativity in the kitchen and eating with friends. For seniors, the benefits of healthy eating include increased mental acuteness, resistance to illness and disease, higher energy levels, a more robust immune system, faster sickness recuperation time, and better management of chronic health problems. As we age, eating well can also be the key to a positive outlook and staying emotionally balanced. You are the boss when
FITNESS FOR SENIORS
Bobbi Kittle it comes to food choices. Nutrition is about feeding the body, mind and soul. Remember the old adage, you are what you eat? Make it your motto. When you choose a variety of colourful fruits and veggies, whole grains and lean proteins, you’ll feel simply marvelous inside and out. Live longer and stronger—good nutrition keeps muscles, bones, or-
gans and other body parts strong for the long haul. Eating vitamin-rich food boosts immunity and fights illness-causing toxins. A proper diet reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes, bone loss, cancer, and anemia. Also, eating sensibly means consuming fewer calories and more nutrient dense foods, keeping weight in check. Sharpen the mind— scientists know that key nutrients are essential for the brain to do its job. Research shows that people who eat a selection of brightly coloured fruit, leafy veggies, certain fish and nuts packed with omega-3 fatty ac-

ids can improve focus and decrease the risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Feel better—eating well is a feast for your five senses. Wholesome meals give you more energy and help you look better, resulting in a selfesteem boost. It’s all connected; when your body feels good you feel happier inside and out. How many calories do seniors need? Use the following as a guideline: A woman over 50 who isn’t physically active: 1,600 calories a day. Woman somewhat physically active: 1,800 calories a day. Woman who is very active: 2,000 calories a day. A man over 50 who is not physically active: 2,000 calories a day. Man somewhat physically active: 2,200 to 2,400 calories a day. Man who is very active: 2,400 to 2,800 calories a day. Bobbi Kittle is a personal trainer and fitness instructor in Kelowna. ebobbi@pursuitfitness.ca
W
hen seniors move into supportive housing, they have the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. There can be more than 100 seniors living in a supportive housing residence. But a drawback to living with so many other people is that everyone is used to preparing their food in a different way. Seniors need to realize that the supportive housing residence is now preparing meals to meet the needs of many individuals. So the meals may not be prepared exactly the way they’re used to. Some seniors like to take special spices to their table with them at meal time so that they can add them to their meals. The senses of taste and smell diminish for seniors as they age, which can result in poor nutrition in addition to other health complications. By living in supportive housing, meals are
SENIORS’ CONCERNS
Sharen Marteny prepared with those needs in mind. Seniors have fewer taste buds and the taste buds are less sensitive. Therefore, those with diabetes need to be aware of consuming excess sugar and those with hypertension need to watch out for the amount of salt they consume. Seniors eat more sugar and salt before they can taste them, which can cause them to inadvertently eat too much. Diseases can also alter the senses of taste and smell. The ability to taste sweetness is retained the longest. A common complaint of seniors is that the food being served at a supportive housing residence does not taste good, to the

point where they might feel the need to move elsewhere. But moving again can in itself be overwhelming for both the seniors and their families. Before any such move is considered, the seniors should try meals at the other supportive housing residences first. Have more than one meal to get a real taste of how the meals are prepared and if it is too your liking. The residences usually will not charge for the meals if they know that a senior is serious about moving. In some cases, a senior can work with the residence kitchen staff to discuss what can be done to meet specific needs. The sense of taste can be worsened by medications and disease processes, causing them to alter the types and amounts of foods eaten. Losing the sense of taste and smell also decreases the pleasure derived from food. Serving a large portion of food to a senior and telling them to eat as much as they want can actually turn them off from eating. Better to serve a smaller portion and provide more food as requested. If a senior has lost interest in a food type that is healthy for them to eat, adding a sweetener, such as maple syrup or honey, might make it more enticing.

Miscues hamper youthful Sun â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;
Whistle feels right at home in Rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; colours
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Halfway through his first season as head coach, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t where Gavin Lake wanted or expected his club to be. As it is, the Okanagan Sun have managed just a victory in five tries in 2012, the slowest start in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 32-year history. With a general overhaul of the Sun organization from top to bottom over the last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including changes in executive, management, coaching staff and playersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the transition has come with its share of challenges. One of the BCFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest teams, the Sun has 16 new starters this season, and more than 20 players who are straight out of high school. And exacerbated by an unbalanced schedule with three games each this season against top teams Langley and the Vancouver Island Raiders, the Sun is still trying to find its way under the first-year head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have fullscale change from top to bottom and expect everything to be the same,â&#x20AC;? said Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the same time, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coach football to lose. You coach to win and unfortunately we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been doing much of that. We have a bunch of young guys on this team and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking some time coach them up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve basically retooled this teamâ&#x20AC;Śhaving said that, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain the mistakes weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making.â&#x20AC;?

third loss in a row. Arriving 90 minutes late to the Apple Bowl due to a broken-down bus, the Rebels took advantage of five Okanagan turnovers to push their record to 4-1, adding even more separation between themselves and the fourth-place Sun (1-4). Two uncharacteristic lost fumbles came from veteran punt returner Robbie Yochim and two more from Sun running backs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn the ball over like we did and expect to win football games,â&#x20AC;? Lake said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some great individual efforts, some guys who really came to play, but the turnovers did us in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrating beating yourself,â&#x20AC;? added Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you get blown out 500, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a bunch of young guys and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building for the future thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing.

OKANAGAN SUN slotback Bobby Davis hauls in a pass and goes 94 yards for a touchdown in BCFC action against the Westshore Rebels Saturday night at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna. With a top-three finish in the BCFC becoming less likely each week, the Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus over the last half of the season will turn to securing the fourth and final playoff spot. The road doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any easier this Saturday as the Sun host the Raiders (4-0-1) in a 1 p.m. kickoff.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a very confident group with a fiveyear veteran quarterback, so we anticipate theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready,â&#x20AC;? Lake said of the Raiders who edged the Sun 30-29 last month in Nanaimo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, we have to concentrate on fundamental football, understand
our roles and blocking schemes and protect our passer. It all starts with the basics.â&#x20AC;? Including Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action, the Sun has two games remaining against the Raiders, and one each with Langley, Kamloops and Chilliwack. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
As far as Jackson Whistle knew, trips back to Kelowna this season would either entail visiting family or suiting up for Western Hockey League games with the Vancouver Giants. After being acquired late last week by Kelowna Rockets, the 17-year-old netminder is home to stay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first I was obviously shocked, I enjoyed being in Vancouver, and I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting to be traded,â&#x20AC;? said Whistle, who spent much of his childhood in West Kelowna and played three seasons with the Pursuit of Excellence program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when I heard it was Kelowna, I was really happy. Coming home to play and with a really good organization, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for much more. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty pumped about it.â&#x20AC;? The Rockets, who dealt a third-round bantam pick to the Giants for Whistle, were looking for a young backup to both complement and push No. 1 stopper, 19-year-old Jordon Cooke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think first and foremost we want someone who will come in and compete and force Jordon to be better at the same time,â&#x20AC;? said Rockets goaltending coach Kim Dillabaugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a 17-year-old and with a year of WHL
Jackson Whistle
experience, it gives us a chance to with work Jackson and bring him along, and hopefully heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become a very reliable netminder for us.â&#x20AC;? As a 16-year-old rookie, Whistle played in 21 games for the Giants last season posting a 3.61 goals against average. On Saturday night, Whistle got his first taste of life in Rockets colours, making 19 saves in a 3-2 pre-season shootout loss to the Victoria Royals. Whistle hopes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship with his new WHL club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to being here, hopefully for a long time,â&#x20AC;? said the 6-foot-1, 187-pound Whistle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m coming in to try and be an important part of the Rockets, and eventually I want to be the starter on this team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to be a Rocket and to have a chance to play in front of family and friends.â&#x20AC;?

Impressive opening weekend for Warriors Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
And while Kim Dillabaugh’s exposure to Whistle has so far been limited, the Rockets assistant is looking forward to overseeing the young stopper’s progress. “From my limited viewings, what I’ve seen is that he’s a competitive individual, he’s more of an athletic, reactionary goalie, so we’ll look to maximize those attributes,” Dillabaugh said. “At the same time, we’ll identify areas we need to work on. There’s still a lot of room for development in his game.” To make room for Whistle, the Rockets reassigned 18-year-old Cam Barnes to Canmore of the AJHL.

A few roster shuffles remain for Chiefs The Kelowna Chiefs wrapped up their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League preseason schedule at 2-and-2 after two games on the weekend at a mini-tournament in Summerland. The Chiefs beat Osoyoos 5-2 before losing to Penticton 2-0 to close out the KIJHL preseason. Kelowna still has a few roster decisions to be made leading up to the opening of its third season

Head coach Ken Andrusiak said the exhibition season gave the coaches a good read on what players can do in game situations. “Practice is one things but games are quite another,” he said. “You have to see everybody in a game to get a good read and see if they can compete.” The Chiefs have 10 returning players from

Two games, 12 goals for and just one goal against. The math alone tells you what kind of start the West Kelowna Warriors had to the BCHL’s 201213 regular season. The Warriors came firing out of the gates during the league’s showcase weekend in Chilliwack, winning both games in impressive fashion. On Saturday, captain Max French greeted the new campaign with a hattrick, while linemate Brett McKinnon added a goal and two assists in a 6-0 win over Salmon Arm. Tyler Briggs stopped 23 saves for the shutout. Then on Sunday, McKinnon duplicated his efforts with a goal and two assists as the Warriors took down the Surrey
Warriors head coach and GM Rylan Ferster couldn’t have asked for much better start from his club. “Anytime you come out of a weekend with two wins like that, you have to be happy,” said Ferster. “It’s good for the morale of our team, because we have a few unknowns to start the year. “I thought that our work ethic was great, that’s the cornerstone of our team. We had good veteran leadership and some hard-work goals.” Timely scoring, or rather lack of it, was an issue for the Warriors last season.

Heat men get one point opening weekend UBCO women shutout Douglas The UBC Okanagan Heat have some kinks to work out of their game after earning a single point on their home turf during the opening weekend of the PACWEST men’s soccer season. After playing to a 1-1 draw with Kwantlen on Saturday, the 2011 provincial bronze medalists dropped a 4-2 decision to the Douglas Royals on Sunday at Nonis Field. The Heat took a 2-1 first half lead on the Royals on goals by Austin Jones in the 15th minute and Jorden Lieb 23 minutes later, but couldn’t hold the lead as Douglas scored four unanswered goals in the final 45 minutes to earn the win. Despite the loss, head coach Dante Zanatta saw some positive signs from his club. “We played some very nice football,” remarked Zanatta. “We took on one of the best teams in the league
without really any stress. It was very encouraging.” On Saturday, second-year forward Andrew Pinguelo (Vancouver) notched the Heat’s lone goal in the 50th minute, while Kwantlen answered back in the 64th minute off a penalty kick taken by sophomore forward Murtada Almatrood. The Heat were called offside 13 times in Saturday’s matchup to stymie their offensive rhythm. In the dying minutes of the game Kwantlen was pressing offensively, hitting the crossbar once and in their efforts forcing Logan Ellis to stand on his head to keep the game knotted at 1-1 through regulation time. “At times today we were running without the thought process and forcing the game,” said Zanatta. “We just need to be a little more smart.” The Heat will take to the road this weekend for games at Langara and Quest.

After a sluggish start to the 2012 PACWEST season, the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s soccer team made amends with a dominant victory on Sunday afternoon at Nonis Field. The defending provincial silver medalists blanked Douglas College 3-0 to close out opening weekend with a split of two games. Kirsten Dodds opened the scoring in the 31st minute, then watched teammates Lana Finley and Taylor Candelario seal the victory with goals five minutes apart in the second half. It was a positive bounce-back game for the Heat after a 2-0 setback against Kwantlen on Saturday. “We played stronger (Sunday),” noted Heat coach Claire Paterson. “We played to our strengths a bit more. We moved the ball around to feet, which helped us be successful.” Second-yeargoalkeep-

Hickling has gold in sight
Garett Hickling is still seaching for Paralympic gold. But silver has turned out to be a pretty satisfying alternative. The Kelowna native and his Canadian teammates settled for second best in wheelchair rugby Sunday in London, dropping a 66-51 decision to Australia in the championship final. “We had a game plan, unfortunately we weren’t able to succeed the way we wanted to,” said Hickling. Hickling, a vetertan mainstay with the national program and former world championship MVP, also helped Canada rcapture silver at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens. And by all indications, Hickling plans to be back in 2016. “It’s been a phenomenal couple of weeks, we’ve got the silver medal,” said Hickling, 41. “It’s just been fantastic and I guess I’ve got another four years left in me at least. I still want that gold. “(Aussies) do have a lot of ability,” added Hickling, “but we have a

game. After the gold-medal game, Canada’s Minister of Sport Bal Gosal presented Hickling with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in recognition of being Canada’s flag bearer during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Paralympic Games.

Vanier graduate scholarship initiative seeks candidates W e often hear that Canada’s prosperity as a nation is increasingly based on investments in education and training, basic and applied research, and highly skilled and creative individuals. Since 2006, our federal government has invested nearly $8 billion in funding for initiatives supporting science, technology, post-secondary education, and the growth of innovation firms in Canada to create the knowledge and skilled workforce that is required for a more prosperous economy. In particular, our postsecondary institutions, we look to support research that sparks the creation of new knowledge, products, services and policies that support Canada’s economic competitiveness, strengthen social foundations, sustain the environment and improve our quality of life. That is why Prime Minister Stephen Harp-
MP’S REPORT
Ron Cannan er introduced the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships program in 2008. The Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships, named for distinguished Canadian soldier and former governor general Georges Philias Vanier (1888-1967), aim to attract and retain world-class scholars and establish Canada as a global centre of excellence in research and higher learning in the social sciences and humanities, natural sciences and engineering and health. Scholarship recipients are awarded $50,000 each year for up to three years and are open to both Canadian and international PhD students studying at Canadian universities.
Scholarship candidates must go through a rigorous selection process. That includes evaluation by selection committees established by Canada’s three research granting agencies—the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Recommendations are made and then endorsed by the Vanier-Banting board. I’m happy to note that the current chair of the Vanier-Banting board is none other than Kelowna’s own Robert Thirsk, the distinguished engineer, physician and Canadian Space Agency astronaut. Thirsk holds Canadian records for the longest space flight (187 days 20 hours) and the most time spent in space (204 days 18 hours). Thirsk was awarded the Order of British Co-

lumbia this year. The recent announcement of 156 scholarships in August 2012 brings the total number of scholarships awarded since the inception of the program to 660. Of the recently announced 156 scholarships, 24 were awarded to graduates studying at B.C. universities. The deadline for nom-
ination by university in the next round of scholarships is Nov. 6 (8 p.m. Eastern time). Interested candidates are encouraged to contact the Canadian university at which they would like to study to determine the application deadline. Those interested may also visit the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships web site for more infor-
mation at www.vanier. gc.ca. In closing, I would like to wish all those students heading back to school all the best in this coming school year. Work hard and your efforts will be rewarded. ••• I continue to work at my constituency office until I return to Ottawa for the Sept. 15 open-

didn’t see as much of Jensen until I was asked to play at his 80th birthday eight years ago. That was a thrill. I’ve played with many musicians over a span of almost 50 years, but when Jensen got on stage at the age of 80 and began to play with our band, we knew we were in the presence of a true professional. To the delight of Jensen, Tommy Hunter made a surprise apperance at the birthday bash. What a time we all had that night. It was around then my wife Donna and I were delighted to meet Jensen’s new partner in life, Dorothy. During Jensen’s time taking care of his ailing wife, his neighbour Dorothy, a longtime fan, kept him fed with her fine home cooking and supported him in his sorrow. Jack Jensen was a music icon in our midst. I feel honoured for having gotten to know him over recent year and I’ll miss him terribly.

Joe (Joseph Nickolaus) Benzer We are sad to announce the passing of Joe (Joseph Nickolaus) Benzer in Merritt, on September 5, 2012, at the age of 82 years. Joe was born and took all his schooling in Kelowna. He moved with his parents to Merritt in 1951. He was trained as an Electrician by his Dad and later joined the IBEW where he worked for the rest of his career. He thoroughly enjoyed his work and travelled much of the Province working at different B.C. sites. He retired to Kamloops, and returned to Merritt when he needed more care. Joe enjoyed swimming and paddling in the war canoe races at the Kelowna Regatta. He was one of the first people to swim across Okanagan Lake, a distance of over a kilometre. He enjoyed the outdoors, participating in hunting and fishing. He was involved in Boy Scouting, rising to a Troop Leader. Although Joe never married, he was very much a part of our families. He was especially loved by his nieces and nephews, who he used to take out for breakfast whenever they were all together. They would stop to have a visit with him anytime they went through Merritt.

He will be missed by all the family. A special thank you to Maurice Mathieu for being a wonderful friend to Joe, visiting often, taking him out, and doing any shopping for him. You were a huge part of his life the last few years that he lived in Merritt. Also thank you to the staff at Nicola Meadows, where he lived until he needed more care. You were awesome to him, teasing and helping him and practicing “Tough Love”. The last few months at Gillis House were made so much easier because of the very caring staff there. A special thanks to Dr. Van Der Merwe. Merritt Funeral Chapel is in charge of the arrangements. Joe’s ashes will be put in his father’s grave in Merritt, B.C.

Shirley was born in Trail, BC and spent a happy childhood in Blueberry and Kinnaird, BC. After her high school graduation, she enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and was stationed in Toronto, Ontario with the rank of Leading Airwoman from 1952 to 1953. From there, she moved to Vancouver and worked as the head secretary for the United Airlines District Manager from 1959 to 1967. She lived in Port Coquitlam from 1962 until 1967 when she married her beloved husband, Al Goode, blended their families, and moved to Conroe, Texas. It was there that she assisted him in his wet spent brewers grain businesses, National Feeds and Northern Feeds. They moved to Kelowna, BC in 1972 where they expanded their company to include ASG Management, Goode Properties, and Lone Pine Ranch. Shirley was a wonderful hostess and many friends and family members benefitted from her culinary skills. She loved to travel and reached her goal of visiting all of the seven continents. She also loved to spend time at her second home in Westcliffe, Colorado. It was there that she passed away tragically in a car accident. She will be dearly missed by her six children: Kelley Goode; Gwen Hurt; Bruce (Mary-Lyn) Goode; Lynn (Harrison) Goode; Tim (Dorothy) Goode; and Terry Goode, as well as her twelve grandchildren: Angie (Scott) Truesdale; Derrik (Leigh) Davis; Dustin (Kristina) Davis; Brandon (Greta) Montes; Josh (Jackie) Goode; Ashley (Ricky) Caldwell; Jason Goode; Amy (John) Geistlinger; Evan Goode; Kayla Hurt; Thomas Goode; and Avery Goode. She was also blessed with six great-grandchildren: Claudia Davis; Oliver Montes; Liam Truesdale; Wyatt Davis; Eli Geistlinger; and Cash Davis. She is survived by her doting brothers, Ed (Marney) Collinson and Jack (Mildred) Collinson as well as many beloved nieces and nephews. Shirley was predeceased by her cherished husband and partner of 36 years, Al Goode, as well as her parents Bill and Gladys Collinson. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family c/o www.springfieldfuneralhome.com Ph: 250-860-7077.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen feeding friends Laura Calder is one of the Food Network chefs whose recipes I like, so when I learned about her latest book Dinner Chez Moi: the Fine Art of Feeding Friends, I had to have it. I went through a French period in my evolution as a cook, and there are still a number of favourite recipes and techniques that are now part of my repertoire—hangovers of that period. Her cooking show, French Food at Home, harkens back to that time with some scrumptious-looking dishes. She also has a good approach to cooking which I agree with totally— relax and don’t be afraid to substitute ingredients or to be creative with recipes. Use them as guidelines, because they’re not etched in concrete. She also encourages you to enjoy cooking for people you love, whether it be simple food or something a little more sophisticated, and I wholeheartedly agree. After trying out a few of her recipes, I’m not disappointed. They were excellent. For instance, even though a Mashed Potato Torte with Tomato and Mint sounded like an odd combination, I had all those things in abundance, so I tried it. It was delicious, and leftovers were very good. In this book, she has organized the recipes and commentary around menus for dinner parties, but they’re very flexible ones, and chiefly suggest some dishes that go well together for one reason or another. Published by Harper Collins, this would make a great gift for your favourite cook’s next birthday. As summer winds down, we have an enormous bounty of colourful vegetables fresh from the garden and the market, so following are a couple of recipes featuring the harvest of fall: potatoes, onions, herbs, tomatoes, zucchini and other squashes. And, you’ll find lots more seasonal recipes in my book, Jude’s Kitchen, available locally at Mosaic Books, Chapters and all of the best wine shops, both at wineries and such independent VQA shops as Discover Wines and the B.C. Wine Museum’s wine shop.
Laura's Zucchini “ Quiche” Laura notes that this is not your ordinary quiche, a custard in a crust, but a combination of options: appetizer cubes you can serve as finger food or squares on a plate with a dab of sour cream and a curl of smoked salmon to begin the meal. I’ve served a similar dish on a brunch buffet as well, in wedges. 2 c. (250 g) flour 1 tbsp. (15 ml) baking powder 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt 6 tbsp. (90 g) butter 6 slices bacon, in lardons 1 medium leek, sliced 4 eggs, slightly beaten 3 c. (360 g) shredded zucchini 1/2 c. (20 g) finely-grated parmesan 1/2 c. (125 ml) grapeseed oil 1/2 to 1 tsp. (2-5 ml) cayenne pepper salt and black pepper
Heat the oven to 350 F. Grease a nineinch pie pan. Blend the flour, baking powder, salt, and butter to fine crumbs, either with your fingertips or in a food processor. Set aside in a large bowl. Fry the bacon (cut into lardons: small strips or cubes) gently until cooked but not crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the flour mixture. Fry the sliced leek in the bacon fat, adding a splash of oil if needed, until soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the flour mixture, along with the eggs, shredded zucchini (about two small ones), cheese, oil, cayenne, salt and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly and pour into the pie plate. Bake until set, about 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature in wedges, cubes or squares. Serves 8 or so.

Mashed Potato Torte with Tomato & Mint We served this warm as a side dish for lamb chops and it was a great combination, but Laura notes you could also serve it at room temperature or cool as a first course. It can also be made as individual cakes instead of in a cast iron frypan as I made it. 1 lb. (450 g) baking potatoes 2 tbsp. (30 ml) butter 2 tbsp. (30 ml) olive oil 1 onion, minced 1 garlic clove, minced 1 medium tomato, chopped to a pulp 1/4 c. (60 ml) white wine a handful of chopped fresh mint a handful of chopped fresh parsley 3 tbsp. (50 ml) finely-grated parmesan 2 large eggs, lightly beaten salt and pepper Peel the potatoes, about two, and cut them into a few even chunks. Boil in salted water until very tender; drain and mash. Set aside. Heat half the butter and oil together in a

cast-iron or non-stick frypan and very gently cook the onions until soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute, then add the tomato and wine. Boil to evaporate the liquid completely and make a thick sauce, about five minutes. Remove from the heat and stir through the fresh mint, parsley and parmesan cheese. Stir the whole mixture into the mashed potatoes and combine thoroughly. Quickly whisk in the eggs with a fork. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Heat the oven to 450 F. Heat the remaining butter and oil in the frypan over mediumlow heat. Add the potato mixture and cook, without disturbing, until set on the bottom, golden and quite crisp, about 20 minutes. Dot the top with more butter, then transfer to the oven and bake until the torte is completely set and the top golden, about 15 minutes. Serve straight from the pan or flip onto a large plate or cutting board. Cut into wedges. Serves 8.
