City makes bid for Ironman Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna officials made their case for the city to become the new host of Ironman Canada directly to the World Triathlon Corporation in Tampa, Fla., earlier this week. Instead of going to the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria, Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray led a fourperson delegation to make the city’s pitch for the international triathlon to come to this city starting next year. “We made the presentation, so now we just

Irrigation district water upgrade cost challenged areas have received provincial grants towards such improvement projects. The work is needed because Interior Health requires this level of protection for drinking water in all systems serving more than 500 people. It will cost each ratepayer more than in some areas because of the rural nature of SEKID, with few residents spread out and around lots of agricultural land. In order for the proposal to be defeated, 10 per cent of the district’s estimated 3,309 eligible landowners, or 330 property-owners,

must submit completed forms to the district office before Oct. 25. One of those who intends to do so is a former board member who has served 18 years as a trustee, David Stirling, who says he is opposed to borrowing so much money with the small community base there is in SEKID. “I don’t think the community should have to bear the full cost,” he said. “Because we live in a rural community we’re at a disadvantage. Interior Health is pushing us to upgrade

but we have a small residential base to pay that cost. We should qualify for infrastructure grant funding, but there’s none available right now. It’s not fair.” He admits he’s not sure what the board would be able to do if it’s defeated, since this is the lowest cost option of all those recommended by Associated Engineering in a report for the board on alternatives.

There is a move to defeat the South East Kelowna Irrigation District’s proposal to borrow $15.3 million towards a $22.3-million improvement to the water system. The board has embarked on an alternate approval system instead of going the more-costly route of holding a referendum, to get ratepayers’ approval for the 10-year project. It involves twinning the district’s

water infrastructure, so that clear water goes to domestic connections, but current water quality serves agricultural connections. A steady stream of residents attended Tuesday’s open house on the issue and the utility has begun to receive Elector Response Forms from those opposed to the idea. SEKID manager Toby Pike says lots of those at the meeting said they don’t disagree with the project, but they don’t see why the local taxpayers have to foot the whole bill when other

NEWS ▼ HUMAN RIGHTS TRIBUNAL

Pro-choicers consider taking City Hall to tribunal Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Pro-choice protesters who gathered outside Kelowna City Hall this week to voice their opposition to a proclamation issued for Protect Human Life Week say they are considering launching a complaint with B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. Spokeswoman Dianne Varga, who described herself as an abortion rights activist, said a meeting will be held today with two legal groups and another organization to discuss a possible human rights complaint against Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray because he refused to rescind the proclamation. Varga said she was representing the Abortion Right Coalition of Canada, the group that demanded Gray rescind the proclamation. The group says the city has a duty to uphold the law and abortion is legal in Canada. It says the proclamation also goes against the city’s duty to “foster a community culture that respects women’s rights and freedoms.” Gray, who ran afoul of the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal in 2000 when

he changed the wording of a proclamation for Gay Pride Day, said he felt it would be discriminatory to rescind the proclamation because it is the city’s policy that any group that asks for a proclamation can get one as long as it does not espouse violence, discrimination, political views or is of a commercial nature. And he reiterated his position that issuing the proclamation is not an indication of support for any group or an indication of his personal views. So far this year, the city has been asked for, and issued 47 proclamations, covering a myriad of subjects including elder abuse awareness, immunizations, quilt and fibre arts, missing children, kidney disease, gay pride, plumbing, parental alienation and even honey bees. The Protect Human Life Week proclamation was issued at the request of Kelowna Right To Life, a local anti-abortion organization. Gray said he consulted his councillors before agreeing to the request and they were unanimous in feeling he should issue it. “It’s basically a case of all or none,” said Gray. When the mayor re-

On Monday, six prochoice protesters got into an altercation with the

executive director of Kelowna Right To Life, Marlon Bartram, after several took offence to him filming their public protest. One woman demanded he stop filming her and pushed his camera away and held it down so he could not film the protesters. On Wednesday, there were five protesters out-

▼ COURT

Hyatt trial to start on Oct. 15 Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

In just over two weeks a trial will begin for the teenage girl charged with the murder of another teen, Ashlee Hyatt. The Oct. 15 start date marks two years and four months since Hyatt, 16, was fatally stabbed outside a Peachland house. It’s also the end of a long journey for Charrie Griswold-Hyatt, who has anxiously been “waiting for justice” since she lost her daughter. With that aim in mind, Hyatt has actively worked to keep her daughter’s memory alive. Nightly, she writes to her on Facebook, she holds yearly memorial services and birthday parties and has attended a litany of painful

court proceedings. Most recently, the accused tried to have the trial moved but the application for a change of venue was rejected. It’s a period of time that’s been busy, but it has also frustrated Hyatt. She’s also optimistic there will be some degree of closure from the process running its course. The jury trial is scheduled to last two weeks and the process is open to the public. The identity of the accused is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Hyatt was killed June 2, 2010. She had gone to a friend’s house that she often frequented on San Clemente Avenue in Peachland.

side city hall. They said they planned to be there all afternoon because a vote was scheduled in the House of Commons in Ottawa that afternoon on a Conservative MP private member’s bill calling for the formation of a committee to study possible changes to the Criminal Code to protect a fetus. Pro-choice advocates

feel that move would be a backdoor way to reopen the abortion debate in Canada. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he would not support the motion because his government has said it has no intention of reopening the abortion debate. As expected, the motion was defeated. Canada currently does

not have any law regulating abortion. In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down Canada’s abortion law as unconstitutional. In B.C., abortion is a medically funded and provided health care service and is available at most hospitals throughout the province, including Kelowna General Hospital.

Brutish smack to senior Kelowna police are seeking witnesses to identify a suspect, of a seemingly unprovoked assault on an elderly woman Wednesday. Around noon, the Kelowna RCMP received a report of an elderly woman who was assaulted on Spall Road near Harvey Avenue. The woman was northbound on her scooter, attempting to pass a man on the sidewalk, when he suddenly struck her in the face.

The woman was nearly knocked to the ground, and into traffic, suffering non-life threatening injuries. Several passersby stopped to offer the woman assistance but the suspect continued on his way without a second look. The man was last seen headed northbound on Spall Road before turning west on Harvey Avenue. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man in his 20s, approximately 5’10” and 200 to

220 pounds with a medium to heavy build. The man was clean shaven with short dark brown hair and was last seen wearing a long sleeve grey T-shirt with blue jeans and over-theear headphones. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or online at www. crimestoppers.net to report.

Marjorie King said, despite the physical effort required to organize the larger event, she is delighted with the success of the awards. “It’s a sign of how much it’s valued,” she explained. However, she was quick to point that the whole exercise of hosting nine judges from around North America, preparing more than 500 wines for organized judging in appropriate categories; pulling corks and pouring tastes, and all the ensuing paperwork involved, would not be possible without a group of over-qualified volunteer/ friends. Many of them are people she used to work with at the Pacific Agrifood Research Centre at Summerland, before her retirement. This year’s wine judging took four days, including Wednesday’s re-testing for gold medals. She notes she was im-

pressed by the judges’ respectful treatment of the wines and said it appears that no one judge is dominating the conversation about the tastings. “It’s a good balance,” she concluded. This year’s judges are: • Eric Degerman, managing editor of Wine Press Northwest in Washington State • Simon Gaudreault, a sommelier and wine advisor from Quebec • Kurtis Kolt, a Vancouver-based wine consultant and writer • Jim Martin of Waterfront Wines in Kelowna •Tim Pawsey, Vancouver wine writer • Treve Ring, a B.C. sommelier and wine consultant • Brad Royale, wine director for Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts • Stephen Schiedel, a portfolio manager for the B.C. Liquor • Stephen Wong, a Vancouver food and beverage consultant and journalist. As he swirled, sniffed, sipped and spat, Kolt explained a wine varietal should taste like that varietal, but more than that, judges are looking for a good balance of acidity, sugar, alcohol and tannins. “If the winemaker adds a lot of oak, there should be enough fruit flavours to stand up to it,” he explained. Degerman added,

WINE JUDGE Eric Degerman, managing editor of Wine Press Northwest, takes a sniff of a red in preparation for assessing it for this year’s B.C. Wine Awards this week. He is among nine judges who have gathered in Kelowna to judge a record number of wines for the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival, which launches tonight with presentation of those awards. “Consumers look for those characteristics.” There are regional differences in how different varietals ripen and then in how the winemakers handle them, but overall, he believes global climate change has benefited the reds in the Okanagan.

NOTICE REGARDING JAMES ROBERT MILLIGEN On October 25, 2011, the Insurance Council of British Columbia (“Council”) held a hearing into allegations that life insurance agent James Robert Milligen was recommending the public invest money to fund the shipment of gold from Ghana to Canada. Council found that Mr. Milligen was involved in an obvious scam and was using his position as a life insurance agent to mislead people for personal gain. As a result, Mr. Milligen’s life insurance licence was revoked for a minimum of five years. While Mr. Milligen is no longer licensed with Council, he continues to promote this scam to the public. Council is taking this opportunity to warn the public about Mr. Milligen and this scam.

An elderly man has died as a result of injuries he sustained in a pedestrian collision Tuesday night on Springfield Road. Police say at about 8:30 p.m., a pedestrian was hit by a motor vehicle on Springfield Road at Wilkinson Street. Apparently, a 76-yearold Kelowna man was crossing Springfield at a crosswalk when he was struck by a westbound Pontiac Sunfire. The man was initially conscious and responsive when he was rushed to hospital, but he later succumbed to his injuries. The investigation is continuing.

Hwy 97 median $200,000 upgrade started Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna plans to spend about $200,000 to beautify a median on the Harvey Avenue portion of Highway 97, in front of Orchard Park Shopping Centre. The work, to take place in phases between now and next spring, will see the currently bare traffic dividing island spruced up with trees, shrubs, grass and decorative brick, as well as a safety guard to allow workers to

tend to the plantings without the risk of being struck by passing vehicles. City manager of parks and public space projects, Andrew Gibbs, said the median is one of six between Burtch Road and Highway 33 that are wide enough and long enough to warrant such an improvement. Gibbs said while the city plans to eventually landscape them all, currently there are no plans to do more than the one between Dilworth Drive and Cooper Road.

“There will be a lot of demands for funding next year and median improvements are not high on the priority list,” he said. Last month the condition of some medians along Harvey Avenue were described as an eyesore by one city councillor but Gibbs said the plan to landscape the one currently being done has been on the drawing board for several years. He said when the province widened parts of Harvey Avenue to accommodate the HOV land, the

traffic lights were moved from the middle of some medians to the side of the road and that allowed the city to look at the improvements. But he said the plans had to be re-drawn a few times over the years because of additions, such as the need for the traffic guard to protect works on the median. The work, being done by the city despite the fact the province has jurisdiction over the road because it is a provincial highway, is now underway and will

Judge defends our justice system Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Canada’s court system may not be known for doling out harsh sentences, but according to one local judge who took the role of defending it Wednesday, it is a place where each person is treated fairly. It just may not look like that from the outside looking in, said Judge Ann Wallace during a public forum on crime, fear and stigma, the John Howard Society hosted. Wallace explained that the view most people get of the legal system is through TV programs like CSI, or snippets in their local newspaper. In those cases, there’s a clear cut villain and a victim. Reality, from her view on the bench, however, is much more “complex and complicated.” Most people she’s come across over the course of her career aren’t one-dimensional and are facing a litany of challenges. “There are people out there

who commit fraud, or who are greedy, but most people who commit crimes have issues with mental health, addiction or homelessness,” she said. “Imagine having nowhere to go at the end of the day…just a shopping cart…and then having to remember to take medications.” That, she said, is often a mitigating factor she has to weigh when coming up with a judgment and, she believes, most people would think that someone in that condition doesn’t deserve to see the full weight of the law levied against them when they go out of bounds. There are, however, resources that can be tapped into in those cases, she said, explaining that Kelowna has several. She also believes that one of the keys to understanding what happens within the courts is to actually attend. She recommended that anyone who has the time, go to an open session and get acquainted with the dozens of cases that are dealt with

each day. A first-hand view of what happens in chambers can be eye-opening, she’s been told. Wallace wasn’t the only one speaking to the issue of fear and stigma. Chris Thomson, president of the B.C. Criminal Justice Association, said that the public has also behaved with an irrational fear of programs to mitigate criminal activity and the criminals themselves, due to misinformation. Purveyors of that misinformation, said local sociology prof Christopher Schneider, are the media who are reliant on attention to make money. The forum featured a panel of experts from criminal justice, the judicial system, criminology and media. Its focus is to inform the public on issues that arise for complex populations when they’re faced with barriers directly related to the fear and stigma associated with their vulnerable status.

Highway medians at the north end of the city and on Harvey near the lake were landscaped several years ago using a large grant from the province.

Politics back on entertainment pages

he electorate of B.C. could be forgiven for feeling dizzy by the end of Monday. In the wake of recent developments, flacks for the provincial Liberals and the B.C. Conservatives were producing enough ‘spin’ to rival a row of tops. At the end of the day, all that could be said to be spinning were the heads of voters. These poor John and Jane Does must be wondering if there is still such a thing as political leadership in the province, or whether the 2013 election will

be fought strictly on the basis of ‘dueling disasters’—or which party scores the least own-goals. There is no way the resignation of Premier Christy Clark’s chief of staff Ken Boessenkool can be termed good news for the embattled B.C. Liberals, spin it how they may. Clark may characterize it as a swiftly dealt-with disciplinary matter following an internal investigation, but there are questions about the requested resignation of the former Stephen Harper aide that suggests another leak in a badly listing ship.

The results of the B.C. Conservatives’ AGM in Langley last weekend showed that only 71 per cent of voting members believe enough in party leader John Cummins not to request a leadership review. While Cummins is still gung-ho to win the next election, it’s hard to view this result as a glowing endorsement of his leadership. Even worse for the BC Conservatives, it was accompanied by the resignation from the party of its lone MLA, John Van Dongen, and the defection of former Chilliwack-

Hope candidate John Martin to the Liberals. The NDP—while considered anathema by anyone right of centre—have done the least to offend in recent weeks. But, by the same token, they have also done the least to build their image, mend fences, or present a new vision for B.C. Instead, they seem to be holding their breath for fear of making a mistake. This cannot be interpreted as leadership, either. The only thing worse than placing a foot wrong is not placing a foot at all.

Civility and thoughtful ideas lost in emotional rhetoric

he pro-choice, pro-life debate has been ramped up in recent days here in Kelowna, with protests, acrimonious letters to the editor and public statements, and questions about flying flags on schools and at City Hall. One emailed comment that crossed my computer this week slammed a pro-choice advocate, claiming this person should be glad she wasn’t aborted by her mother. A video shot by a pro-life advocate of a small pro-choice group protesting at City Hall on Monday was

pretty much an embarrassment of childish arguing that didn’t reflect well on either side. And further adding to the debate fuel is a Barry pro-life motion being Gerding debated in the House of Commons as I write this column by Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth, likely to spark more attention and debate on the abortion issue. The MP’s private member’s motion would see Parliament appoint a 12-member committee to study the definition of a human being. There is just no end to the endless

EDITOR’S NOTE

high-charged rhetoric on this issue that I believe most of us, the so-called silent majority, made peace with a long time ago. We could be on the verge of World War III in the unstable Middle East, our economy remains fragile while the U.S. economy could well fall over a fiscal cliff, health care and education spending continues to spiral upwards, our court system is a mess and social service agencies are strapped to find funding in this era of government cutbacks. But despite all that going on around us, once again the social engineers have hijacked the public discourse back to the abortion issue. And were not hearing anything new. The pro-life vs. pro-choice debate is one

of ideology over solutions, which is why I think most people tune it out. Fortunately, we see this endless debate played out on a much more extreme political level in the U.S. compared to Canada. Even Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the ultimate policy wonk, wants nothing to do with Woodworth’s motion. In theory, with the knowledge that exists to help prevent unwanted pregnancies today, abortion should be a non-issue. But stuff happens in life. So, in terms of solutions rather than ideology, why not continue to ramp up the focus to educate people about sex education, to eliminate ignorance as an excuse? Why not direct more energy and attention to giv-

ing those kids a chance, for those who are born into a broken or unplanned family to grow up and be productive adults? Hillary Clinton used the African proverb: It takes a village to raise a child. As a parent, I see evidence of that on a daily basis. That personally matters to me. Someone walking in front of City Hall carrying a pro-life or pro-choice placard does not. Perhaps that 12-member committee studying what a human being is would use their time better to grow that village of support. That is something we really need to talk about.

Educated by YouTube about smart meters

To the editor: In the last couple of months I have been receiving a lot of emails/videos on those who are opposed to have a smart meter installed on their property. Having learned of the health hazards that the high radiation readings have from a distance of 40 feet from your house, I too do not want this meter installed on my property. One video was of a retired police officer who stated that we are being extorted, with the threat of having our power turned off all together, if we refuse installation, and that we all know extortion is illegal. So if anyone out there reading this has any

information, being it legal, health or otherwise, please feel free to share your thoughts on this matter, except from those working for BC Hydro. I am already informed of co-workers telling me that a notice was left on their door stating that Fortis had already installed the meter, without consent. I know Paul Herrgott is a lawyer, and wouldn’t mind hearing his thoughts on our rights as taxpaying citizens. Maybe someone from WFN also, being that we pay them to live on their land? I feel I am being violated and don’t have any say in what’s going on around me, and

I’m sure there are many who feel the same? There are one in four households, within a one block radius of me, that have or have had cancer, and that is very concerning. I am very concerned that these meters, will increase those numbers. We are trying to find a cure for cancer, and meanwhile we are doing things to increase our odds. It’s time that we start jumping on the band wagon and protect/enforce our rights as well as our health.

▼ NEVER-ENDING DEBATE

‘Today’s (abortion) law worth discussing’

To the editor: Are pro-choice spokespersons so concerned their position is vulnerable to reasoned critique that they would ban any discussion regarding abortion from popular discussion? You would think so, given the open letter sent by Joyce Arthur of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada and co-signed by her friends (Pro-life Proclamation being Challenged, Sept. 25 Capital News). The letter sent to (Kelowna) Mayor Gray a few weeks ago demanded that he rescind the city’s proclamation that would open this year’s Protect Human Life Week. The mayor and the city aren’t playing favourites. The city has a policy of issuing proclamations for groups requesting them as long as they don’t promote such things as violence or discrimination. The proclamation is fairly benign, all things considered: “It is the intention of this proclamation to promote respect and protection to all human life, especially the infirm, the aged, the handicapped, and the unborn.” In fact, the statement captures centuries old values

and concerns that are held by many Canadians. Thankfully, in a rational position consistent with Canadian values, such as freedom of expression, thought and association, Mayor Gray has refused to rescind the proclamation. Why is this group of pro-choice activists so concerned about a one sentence proclamation and a week-long event that includes a peaceful march and movie-watching? Joyce Arthur and associates advance a few arguments. According to them, the Kelowna Right to Life Society is a “radical political and religious group.” It isn’t, but for some truth, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. The Society is actually a registered charity in good standing, and has been since 1981. That’s 31 years of lawabiding engagement and compliance with Canada Revenue Agency’s rigorous and demanding reporting requirements. In addition, the Society’s position on abortion is actually more consistent with that of Canadians than Ms. Arthur’s. Independent polls by some of Canada’s most reput-

able polling firms consistently show that while most Canadian’s don’t self-identify as ‘pro-life’, most do feel that limits should be placed on abortion access. Currently, abortion is legal in Canada through all nine months of pregnancy upon demand. Canadians are generally uncomfortable with that reality. In a 2011 Abacus Data poll, 22 per cent of those surveyed said that human life should only be protected after birth, a position which reflects Canada’s legal status quo and Ms. Arthur’s position. In the poll 59 per cent felt the unborn child should be protected at some earlier point during the pregnancy and 19 per cent were unsure; 92 per cent of Canadians felt that sexselection abortions should be illegal. In Canada, it is most often females that are aborted in favour of male babies, largely due to cultural preferences. Oddly, the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada, which presents itself as a defender of women’s rights, supports sex-selective abortions. That seems a bit radical.

All water recycles naturally appear from the world, it merely recycles itself without any help from mankind. It may be inconvenient for man when there is too much or too little in any one place. But that is of no interest to Mother Nature who carries on managing her affairs despite the pro-

fact that life starts at fertilization. Pick up a medical book and take a look. You’ll find language like “The zygote thus formed represents the beginning of a new life” (from Biological Principles and Modern Practice of Obstetrics). What is up for debate is at what point should we, as Canadians and human beings, protect or permit the killing of that life and for what reasons. Anytime and anywhere? That’s today’s law and it’s worth discussing. If Joyce Arthur and friends are certain that their position is the correct one, then they have no reason to avoid debate on the issue and should jump into rich, reasoned discussion about it. They could even see it as an opportunity to make some converts. If they’re worried that their position is untenable, maybe they should re-examine it. Perhaps even pick up a few pamphlets at Protect Human Life Week. Faye Sonier, legal counsel, Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.

Their letter also infers that there’s a constitutional right to abortion. There is no such right. Ms. Arthur is aware of this. In the spring of this year, I watched an interviewer challenge this argument, and Ms. Arthur conceded, on national television, that the Supreme Court of Canada’s 1988 Morgentaler decision only found the then existing law dealing with abortion was unconstitutional because of limited access to the therapeutic abortion committees mandated by the legislation. The Court unanimously noted that Parliament was within its jurisdiction to draft another, better law to protect the child in the womb. So why are prochoicers worried about a little discussion and debate? I think they’re scared that if Canadians are informed about the truth, we will start to question the lies and platitudes. Some may even request limits be placed on abortion, like preventing people from killing females in favour of males. The reality is that it is a scientific and medical

Ironman proposal presented

Bid from A1 have to wait,â&#x20AC;? said Gray on Wednesday. The WTC, which owns the event that called Penticton home for 30 years, is expected to make its decision about where it

will go next on Oct. 10. Earlier this month, Gray announced that Kelowna would make a bid for the Ironman Canada event, one of only two Ironman events held in this country. At the time, he said

that any bid would not be made at the expense of the existing Apple Triathlon, which has been held here for 32 years. And Gray reiterated that the city wants to not only keep the Apple Triathlon but also help

strengthen it. Traditionally, the Apple goes on the weekend before the Ironman, at the start of September. Gray said part of the presentation in Tampa included an aerial photograph of downtown Ke-

lowna showing City Park, where the Ironman would be centred. It would serve as the starting point for the race and the transition area between the swim, bike and run portions. The swim would be in Okanagan Lake off

City Park the run throughout the town and the bike route would take riders over the Bennett Bridge to the Westside, back into the city, south to the Mission and as far north as Predator Ridge, near Vernon, and back. Gray said unlike the challenging hill climbs riders used to face in the South Okanagan, on a course where there were few spectators, the bike course here would not only offer spectacular scenery but more opportunities for the public to watch. When the city announced it would make a bid for the Ironman, officials at City Hall said two of the biggest challenges would be the bike course and getting enough volunteers. Part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy is to build on what it calls its â&#x20AC;&#x153;existing active living infrastructure and cultureâ&#x20AC;? by creating a multi-sport centre of excellence and a volunteer recruitment and retention strategy that will benefit all future events in the city that require volunteers. As part of its preparation for the bid, the city conducted a survey. It showed strong support for Kelowna bidding for the Ironman Canada event. Other cities believed to be considering a bid include Vernon, Victoria, Whistler, Kamloops and Calgary. Gray said he felt it was important to keep the race in the Okanagan because of the amount of people it brings to town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know because we see them arrive at our airport every year,â&#x20AC;? he said.

SEKID ratepayers unhappy Water from A1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe it will fail and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to do next,â&#x20AC;? he said. The board continues to lobby the province to support the project with a grant towards the cost of the upgrade. Two more open houses are being held to discuss the issue: Monday, Oct. 1, at Gallagherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canyon Clubhouse from 2 to 9 p.m.; and Wednesday, Oct. 3, Kelowna and District Fish and Game Club, from 4 to 9 p.m. Forms are available online on the SEKID website or from the office for those opposed to the proposal. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Funding boost for trades at OC will help future students

kanagan College, the provincial government and many industry and business leaders believe in trades training. They believe so much in this type of training that the provincial government is giving Okanagan College $28 million towards a renovation and expansion of the Kelowna campus trades training facility. Construction is expected to begin soon as this project will take up to four years to complete. The project includes renovating existing shops, classrooms and administration space of approximately 4,385-squaremetres. It also includes building new space (6,264-square-metres) to accommodate more than 750 trades students, many in programs that Okanagan College offers in leased space located off campus. So what’s the problem? Besides the current and even greater future shortage expected for workers with skilled

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens trades training, the biggest issue is trying to convince young people (late teens/early 20s) to consider a trade as a viable career option. For some students, this isn’t an issue. They have been attracted to the trades since elementary school, have parents who work in the trades and understand a career in the trades has its rewards. For others, the trades aren’t even on their radar. I don’t know why this is, but I suspect many of these students have been led to believe that university is their only option, regardless of whether they are academically capable of this level of study. If one’s goal is to achieve a university education that is probably a good goal, but from my

experience students don’t shop around enough to see what other alternatives are out there. There are hundreds of different types of university and college programs, just like there are hundreds of different types of trades and technical programs. So what separates these types of programs? The biggest difference between learning a trade or earning a university or college degree usually comes down to the actual work. Both credentials, a Red Seal trades certification (journeyperson) and a bachelor degree take approximately four years. The work differs in one major way. Most often, but not in all cases, if you are a trades worker, your job will be more active. Chances are you will move to various work sites and you will meet, and work with, different people on a regular basis. If you have a university degree, there is a good chance you will go to an office, spend most

of your day there, and will work with same group of people day in and day out. You probably will spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer. You might also spend a great deal of your time in meetings. As for pay, well that depends on the type of degree you have or the trade you pursued. Engineering and pharmacy university graduates tend to make the most money upon graduation. They also have some of the better job prospects. In the trades it’s the electricians and the plumbers who tend to garner the higher wages. Most students in the trades usually receive a solid wage once they have their Red Seal certification. This is not the case for many students who graduate with university degrees. Many have the education but then have to transform that learning into a career that pays. This is where you see students with degrees in

the liberal arts, social sciences, humanities and sciences wondering what’s next. That doesn’t mean these students won’t find gainful employment, in fact statistics tell us they do and with a reasonable salary.

It’s just not as seamless for these graduates in comparison to someone with a trade or an applied diploma or degree to find a job right after graduation. All in all, we need to attract more young people to the trades if the B.C.

Two of the five buoys currently stationed on Okanagan Lake to measure water evaporation have been moved. One of the buoys, currently in the Carrs Landing area of Lake Country, will be moved 16 km north to Cameron Point. The other, one of two buoys currently in West Kelowna, will be moved 11 km south to Squally Point (near Rattlesnake Island). The buoys are data collecting tools for the Okanagan Water Supply and Demand Study, being done to better understand the valley’s water supply characteristics. For more information on the study, visit www.obwb. ca/wsd/data/lake-evaporation. The flashing lights on the buoys, five flashes every 15 seconds, have led people to call the RCMP thinking someone is in distress on the lake.

The Board of The Nature Trust of BC is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Jasper Lament as CEO. Jasper brings two decades of biology, conservation and non-proﬁt experience to his new leadership position.

It gathered 1,400 responses from the Cariboo, Kootenay, Northern B.C., Lower Mainland, ThompsonOkanagan and Vancouver Island regions.

The Enbridge project has met strong opposition from communities, aboriginal groups and environmentalists, much of it based on the threat of a tanker spill on B.C.’s North Coast. Black argues that a refinery not only reduces the spill risk, it means 6,000 construction jobs and 3,000 permanent employees to run it. Since he announced the Kitimat Clean project in August, Black said he has been contacted by Korean and Chinese people looking for more information. Earlier discussions with Enbridge and other Canadian oil companies did not produce financial

Kitimat Clean Ltd. has applied for environmental assessment of a proposed oil refinery, after commissioning a poll that found nearly three out of four B.C. residents support the idea. A province-wide phone survey conducted during September found 78 per cent of respondents were aware of the proposal to build a large refinery at Kitimat to process Alberta heavy crude oil. Provincially, 72 per cent either favoured or were “some-

ery project. He is financing the provincial environmental assessment for it, which he expects to take two years and cost several million dollars. Black first proposed the refinery to the B.C. government seven years ago as chairman of the B.C. Progress Board, an advisory panel set up to examine economic and social development of the province. His interest was renewed when Enbridge Inc. applied for federal approval to build the Northern Gateway pipeline from northern Alberta’s oil sands to a new tanker port at Kitimat.

Kitimat Clean president David Black said he was pleasantly surprised that so many people have heard of the refinery proposal, and that most support the idea. “Obviously the concept has struck a chord with the public,” he said. Black remains chairman of Black Press Ltd., owner of the Capital News, and formed Kitimat Clean as a separate company to pursue the refin-

Impact of suicide in our society reflected in statistics T he 10th anniversary of World Suicide Prevention Day was marked on Sept. 10. I hope some of you were aware and marked the occasion in some way, even if just to pause and think of someone you know or love who may be affected by this tragedy. Although the date has passed by the time this column appears, I think it’s worthwhile to spend my space this week acknowledging the impact suicide has around the world and encouraging all of us to do what we can to help stop what really is preventable. Worldwide, more than

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer a million people commit suicide each year, meaning someone dies from suicide every 40 seconds. There are more people lost to suicide each year than to homicide and war combined. If those numbers don’t catch your attention, consider that suicide is the second leading cause of death worldwide

for youths aged 15-19 (100,000 adolescents commit suicide each year) and the highest rate of suicide is among those aged 75 and older. More than 90 percent of people who commit suicide are known to have at least one psychiatric disorder at the time of their death. Although you may think suicide is unlikely to affect you or your loved ones, you are probably wrong. It is estimated that 20 times as many people attempt suicide as actually succeed. So what can we really do to help prevent suicide? Is it even something

we can prevent? I believe raising awareness and breaking down stigma surrounding mental illness is a very important part of suicide prevention. When people are not afraid to seek help, they are more likely to reach out. Another important factor in cases of suicide is substance abuse. A person with an existing mental health condition is much more likely to attempt suicide while intoxicated with drugs or alcohol. Substances act as a wildcard in these instances—they lower inhib-

safe places for people to receive the dignity and safety they deserve. Better access to mental health and addiction services is another area for suicide prevention. When mentally ill individuals can easily access and afford the support services they need, hopelessness is less likely to set in. Signs that a loved one may be at risk of suicide include previous suicide attempt(s); mental health conditions, in particular mood disorders; combined mental health and substance abuse issues; family history of suicide; hopelessness or helplessness; impulsive or aggressive tendencies; barriers to accessing mental health

services; loss; stressful life event; access to lethal methods; unwillingness to seek help because of stigma; exposure to suicide (family, peers, significant others); physical, emotional or sexual abuse; legal issues, arrests or incarceration; or sexual identity conflict. If you or a loved one are experiencing any of the above risk factors, are feeling overwhelming helplessness or despair or are feeling suicidal for any reason, seek help. Talk to someone you trust and enlist the aid of a professional. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials. 250-862-8141 dr@okanaganclinicaltrials.com

itions and impair judgment and cognitive faculties, often causing an individual to do something that would not be considered without these effects. If you suffer from any mental health condition, using substances is extremely dangerous. Poverty and homelessness are also obvious issues to be addressed in preventing suicide. People need to have hope that both their illness and lives in general will get better.

SPORTS Sundevils get first win of the minor football season Local football fields were full with plenty of minor football action in the Southern Interior Football Conference last weekend. The Westside Atom Sundevils played a solid game against the Kamloops Broncos on Sunday, coming away with a 2012 win in a well played game. It was a special victory for the Atom Sundevils as it was their first win of the season. It’s also the first year the Westside has had an atom division for football and coach Fletcher Bell says the players are working hard on being more competitive with other experienced teams. “For a lot of the boys this is their first try at playing football and they are really coming together as a solid football team,” he

said. In other minor football action… The Kelowna Mission Atom Lions Football team beat the Salmon Arm Atom Mustangs 28-6 at the Kelowna CNC football field. The Lions played a hard fought, disciplined game against the well coached and very focused Mustang team from Salmon Arm. Despite the score it was a real defensive battle. The Lions forced three fumbles on the day including early in the fourth quarter when Aidan Vint stripped the ball from a Salmon Arm running back and ran it back 47 yards for a touchdown to cement the win. Vint had numerous key tackles and played a dominant role to lead the defense which has only

given up six points in four games played. Offensively Noah Gross followed the great blocking of his offensive linemen (Dylan McBratney, Leon Johns, Blake Chapman, Keegan Bray, Kian Bos and Morgan Scott) and rushed for two touchdowns. Scoring the other major for the Lions was Nate Beauchemin. Alex Mace and Wilson Holland each caught passes for the Lions in a well balanced attack. The first place Kelowna Mission Lions record now stands at 4-0 with their next action against the West Kelowna Sun Devils in West Kelowna at the Shannon Woods field on Sunday. Meanwhile... The West Kelowna PeeWee Sundevils took sole possesion of third

place with a 23-2 win over the Kamloops Broncos. Robbie Paialunga scored all three Sundevil touchdowns. Paialunga rushed for two scores on the ground and added his third on an 80 yard interception return for a touchdown. The Sundevils defence held Kamloops without any points, led by Jacob Zimmer and Shamus Hogarth. The Sundevils will host the second place Mission Lions on Sunday at Shannon Woods field at noon.

Kelowna U-19 rugby takes a win on Kamloops’ home turf The Kelowna Crows U-19 rugby side kicked off its 2012 season last weekend against their arch rivals, the Kamloops Raiders, on the opposition’s home turf. The Kamloops Rugby Club has recently changed locations and the Kamloops U-19 side was eager to win their first game on home turf. The Crows, in turn, were just as eager to take the win from their foes. From the first whistle both teams battled hard, and both sides spent time in the opposing team’s territory for much of the first half. Strong

runs by Alex Ballingall and thunderous hits by hooker Lyndon Duncan, were definite highlights of the Crows’ early play. The score remained tied for the majority of the first half until 28 minutes in outside centre Cole Mosychuck broke through the Kamloops defensive line for a try right under the posts. Fly half Jed Anderson kicked the convert easily, and the Crows were up 7-0. Kelowna was able to put more points on the board before half time with some good team play deep in Kamloops territory. Lyndon Duncan of-

floaded to flanker Joel Henseleit, who was able to make a shoestring catch before dishing the ball of to scrum half Joey Wallick for the try. Anderson again made good on the convert and the Crows entered halftime with a 14-0 lead. Two minutes into the second half the Crows found the Kamloops’ in-goal again when fullback Amrit Mahal scored a try set up off of a long run by Mosychuck. Kamloops refused to give up though, and managed to score a try three minutes later. The next points belonged to the Crows, however, as Mosychuck scored his sec-

ond try of the day off of a strong run. Kamloops put a converted try on the board at around the 25 minute mark before some good ball movement by the Crows resulted in a try by winger Nico Carboni in the last few minutes of the match. At the final whistle the score was 2912 for Kelowna. Mosychuck was named back of the match for the Crows while Lyndon Duncan took the forward of the match honours. The next test for the Kelowna Crows U-19 side is a home game against Richmond on Saturday Oct. 13.

OC Coyotes defeat Washington times four

A young Okanagan College Coyotes baseball team hit the field last weekend and took four games from the visiting Western Washington Vikings in exhibition collegiate baseball action. The Coyotes used all of their healthy 44-man roster with players getting playing time and an opportunity to show what they can do. It was the first opportunity for head coach Geoff White and his staff to evaluate the players in competition as the club has just played intra-squad games to this point.

Team manager Bill Bayne said there was lots of good baseball played. “It was a good solid weekend for the Coyotes team as they began to bond as a team and the competition for starting positions started for real,” stated Bayne. “For the most part the coaches were pleased with what they saw and learned about their players and the prospects for a successful spring season look promising. Here’s some highlights from the four game weekend: Game 1: Coyotes 15 Vikings 10

OC dominated the early going and then had a lapse late in the game. Marcus Drewry earned the win as he led 13-3 when he gave way to relievers after six innings. Western Washington started a late comeback that fell just short. For the Coyotes Dallas Senger led the way with five hits including a triple, two runs scored and two RBI’s. Josh Brear was 2 for 3 and scored three runs while Jesse Rypien also scored three times. OC had a nine run inning in the 5th racking up 7 straight hits including 3 triples (Senger,

Junior Sundevils mimic Atoms Sundevils from A18 for 225 yards on the day. Chris Smith added a pair of touchdowns on a 76 yard run and 55 yard pass reception while adding five points on converts and one field goal. Nate Humes added a 46 yard reception for a TD while throwing for another.

Ty Truong ran for a 55 yard TD on his way to 100 yards on the day and Salem Clark added two touchdown passes and a two point convert. “We are thrilled with the progress of the team but there is still so much to work on to make us the team we believe we can become,” said coach Chris

Smith. “Having three 100plus yard rushers for the game is impressive as we are able to spread the ball throughout the team.” The Junior Bantam Sundevils will play the Mission Lions Sunday at Shannon Woods for first place in the Interior Division.

TOFC U-13 boys win one, tie one; girls go 1-1 Thompson-Okanagan Football Club teams were back in action as the fall soccer season got underway last weekend. The TOFC U-13 boys earned a win and a tie in its opening weekend of play. Against Magnuson Ford, the club started well and created some good early chances. Ethan Beselt of West Kelow-

na came close early after a cross from Kelowna’s Turner Woodruff resulted in a cross bar before continuing to pile on the pressure. Kamen Wimbleton (Kelowna) found Quinn Large (Kelowna) on the wing who hit a superb first time cross to the far post to Connor Glennon (Vernon) and ball just went wide of the post.

TOFC keeper Carter Kletke got in on the action as the U-13 boys struck first. He cleared the ball from his box out to Sam Macdonald (Kelowna) who then moved it to Connor Glennon (Vernon) and he charged at the keeper and chipped the ball over his head for a 1-0 lead at half time. It took only five min-

utes of the second half for Nicolas Banmen (Kelowna) to increase the score with a through ball from Kamen Wimbleton to make the score 2-0 for TOFC. Magnuson Ford would get one back but the final was 2-1 TOFC In its second game of the weekend the U-13 boys and Surrey played to

a 0-0 draw. The teams looked evenly matched with some good play from both sides at the start of the game. Ethan Beselt (W. Kelowna) and Jared Quibell (Vernon) worked tirelessly up front to keep the Surrey defense busy. Mitch Morgan (Kelowna) came the closest in the first half for TOFC

after a brilliant cross from Mees Geelkerken (Vernon) but his header was stopped by the Surrey keeper. In the second half, TOFC made some personnel changes to close up the midfield and Bill Yoemans (W. Kelowna) and Kamen Wimbleton (Kelowna) stepped up to the plate and outplayed Surrey but they couldn’t score. In the final few minutes Surrey attacked with lots of pressure forcing an outstanding reflex save

from Carter Kletke to keep the game scoreless.

U-13 GIRLS

The TOFC U-13 girls split two games to start the season. West Kelowna’s Teaghan Wallace scored the winning goal in the second half, giving TOFC a 1-0 win over Magnuson Ford to open their weekend last Saturday. Against Surrey on Sunday however, the team dropped a 2-0 decision despite controlling possession of the ball for much of the game.

Heat volleyball teams in Guelph for CIS pre-season games UBC Okanagan volleyball teams kicked off exhibition play in the CIS on the weekend as the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and ladies teams traveled to Guelph on Friday, taking on the host University of Guelph team. The Heat women started strong, winning the first set before losing the next three to the Gryphons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played very well early on and controlled the first set completely,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Steve Manuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We continued playing well in the second set but made way too many unforced errors and let it slip away.â&#x20AC;? On Friday, outside hitters Megan Festival (1st year, Calgary) and Myrte SchĂśn (4th year, Langley) led the Heat offense with seven kills on the night apiece. Middle Katy Klomps (2nd year, Surrey) contributed six kills to

the Heat offensive effort. Third year libero Kailin Jones (Kelowna) put up 13 digs, while freshman Emily Oxland (North Vancouver) chipped in seven. On Sunday there were no fewer than three newcomers on the floor at any one time as the Heat played with a lot of energy and passion in their final exhibition game against the Gryphons. The women played a much better match Sunday according to coach Manuel and defeated Guelph in three sets. (25-10, 25-21, 2519). â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was an outstanding training and competition weekend for us,â&#x20AC;? Manuel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both teams used the weekend to experiment a bit with lineups while working on preparing for league play.

MENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S VOLLEYBALL

The UBCO menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball hosted Argentinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Under-23 team in a pair of exhibition volleyball contests in Kelowna on the weekend. On Friday in the first of two exhibitions the Heat came out strong but eventually fell to Fe Voleibol Argentino three sets to one (21-25, 25-21, 25-16, 25-18). An electric crowd sparked the Heat early, who looked impressive in their second exhibition game so far this season. All Heat players saw significant minutes, while Argentina played the majority of their starters in preparation for the Pan American Cup in Langley, B.C, which runs from Sept. 25 to 30. Despite the result, Heat head coach Greg Poitras was happy with his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We adjusted well to

their style of play, which is different from the type of play weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to (in the CIS),â&#x20AC;? remarked Poitras. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think we need to execute a little better.â&#x20AC;? Considering the hype surrounding the Argentineans, who are not only the favourites to win the Pan Am Cup, but look to do it with a U-21 squad, the Heat made an impressive showing, fighting for every point. Also impressive was the play of many firstyear Heat players. Added Poitras, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect our new guys to be ready, and be impact players for our team. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they are here.â&#x20AC;? In Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rematch the Heat struggled early on and Fe Voleibol Argentino recorded a straight set victory (25-21, 26-24, 2520).

This event for me will be the closest Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever get to the Olympics. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an oppor-

tunity of a lifetime.â&#x20AC;? The Sprint distance triathlon, comprising a 750m swim, 20km cycle and 5 km run, includes challengers Jeanette Hoft and Gord McInnes (4549), Tony Hoft (55-59), Judy Lloyd and David Lloyd (both 65-69).

Test for humanity, gift for charity From watching films, to scaling rocks, and riding bikes, Adventure Addictions Festival in Penticton had just about everything, including an exciting mountain bike race that featured many cyclists from around the Okanagan Valley. Peachland cyclist Evan Guthrie claimed top spot in the mountain bike race, just edging out Squamish rider Kelly Servinski. Test of Humanity organizer Shei Seaton said the main event was exciting because they had exciting finishes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very close between Evan Guthrie (Peachland) and Kelly Servinski (Squamish), who placed second,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were neckand-neck for most of the race. Evan just pulled ahead at the end. The Bike Barn team, they were neck-and-neck with Evan and they were a team and Evan was managing to hold his own the whole way around. They finished side-by-side.â&#x20AC;? Test of Humanity, a cycling fundraiser attracted 260 participants. So far $25,000 has been raised for third world countries. Donations will be collected until the end of next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a wonderful event,â&#x20AC;? said Seaton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a great family event. We sold out in two of our events.â&#x20AC;? She said response was very positive. She also monitored Twitter and Facebook.

▼ TEST FOR HUMANITY

Brandt’s Pub takes 100th Mtn bike race neck-and-neck at end anniversary Royal Cup Cycle Race from A22

The final game in Kelowna soccer’s Royal Cup was played earlier this month at Mission Sports Fields with a re-match of the division one playoff final participants, Brandt’s Creek Pub FC and Modern Furniture Pikey’s, battling for the hardware. This edition was of significant importance as it was the 100 year anniversary of the Royal Cup trophy, awarded for top spot in the Kelowna Mens Soccer League. With both teams missing some noticeable starters from their line-ups, the game started a bit slower and lower on intensity than the week previous. Alain Oenema would get a breakaway in the opening moments of the game but he was stopped by a diving Brandt’s keeper Todd Swaby to keep the game scoreless. It would be Brandt’s that would push the tempo and get a goal not long after. Dave Crawford made a great run down the right wing and ended up near the goal line about 12 yards from goal. He picked out a streaking Morgan Marrs who tucked the ball in from close range to open the scoring.

Pikey’s would then get some opportunities through some free kicks swung into the box, but they could not convert from close range. Pikey’s would then draw even when they were awarded a penalty kick after Swaby was judged to have followed one of the Pikey’s attackers. It would be Matt Reese that would step up and sting a perfectly placed shot into the lower left hand corner to make it 1-1. It would stay this way until half-time. The second half started with some midfield battles that created little chances. However, Swaby was called upon to make a couple saves in the middle of the half before Brandt’s would get the go-ahead goal. In his last game before retiring, Rene Trozzo would get the first of his two goals via a re-direction past Pikey’s keeper Riley Harper with about 20 minutes to go. Brandt’s would get their third marker via Sean Murphy’s long distance shot that was misplayed by Harper to make it 3-1. Trozzo would cap off the game with the eventual game winner after some good play to beat a couple Pikey’s defenders and slip

a nicely placed left-footed shot into the far corner to make it 4-1. Pikey’s would try to mount a comeback with Dan Hunt scoring two goals late to make it 4-3, however it was too little, too late as Brandt’s Creek Pub FC took home the Royal Cup trophy and tournament win.

will meet in October and begin planning for next year, and the plan is to add paddling. “We want to give everything that Penticton has to offer,” said Hill, adding that the name was submitted in a campaign. Lyndie Hill, of Hoodoo Adventures and helped organize the weekend, said overall it was

a good event. The rock climbing competition at Skaha Bluffs, which had 50 participants last year, saw an increase by 10. Nearly 100 flocked Skaha Lake Park for movies. Jen Olsyn, one of six full mountain guides in Canada, shared her stories with an audience. Rock climbers enjoyed the weekend so much they

talked about training all year to be ready for the next festival. The same point system was kept and will continue to be used as participants want to see how they have done. Along with the competitions, there were three clinics, including an advanced section, which was full.

Difficult discussions about job performance made easier I

n my coaching practice, I have had the honour of working with some excellent leaders. These individuals are clear in their vision, committed to their responsibilities and keen to build teams that are equally engaged in their work. Surprisingly, several of these very same leaders have identified one aspect of people management where they do not feel confident—having dif-

WORK LIFE

Laurie Mills ficult conversations with their employees. Generally those talks relate to giving feedback on performance—either the quality of the work or the person’s interactions

with others. Let’s first consider why such conversations between a manager and employee might be perceived as difficult. First, there could be issues of trust at play. One party or the other might be fearful of saying/hearing harsh words, or they may expect the experience of giving/getting feedback to feel like a personal attack. A second concern could be that a particu-

lar issue has been ongoing for some time and remained unresolved. If there is a serious drop in performance, for example, or a strained work relationship, both parties are likely already well aware of it. The problem may have escalated because the manager didn’t take early action to address it in a positive way. Managers play an absolutely critical role in any organization.

They have a responsibility to ensure their employees are doing the right things and doing their jobs well, which includes working effectively with others. If there is anything in an employee’s workplace behaviour that is counter productive to the expected outcomes, the manager needs to have a conversation about that individual and help to turn things around. If an employee’s per-

Public access and patient drop-off changing at KGH Demolition of the Pandosy Building at Kelowna General Hospital requires the temporary closure of the public entrance on Rose Ave. The Pandosy Building is being demolished to make way for the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre.

The entrance will be closed starting October 1 and will re-open November 12 There will be no change to the Emergency patient dropoff. Patients requiring emergency treatment can be dropped off at the Emergency Department entrance on Royal Ave. Non-emergency patients can be dropped off at one of three entrances: • Main Hospital Entrance (Centennial Building) Drop patients off at the main entrance off Pandosy Street • West side of KGH (Royal Building) Drop patients off at the west entrance from Strathcona Avenue • Lab Building (Dr. Walter Anderson Building) Take the elevator to the third ﬂoor and walk across Pandosy Skywalk to access the Centennial Building and the rest of the KGH site There is parking on the ground ﬂoor of the lab building (Dr. Walter Anderson Building), on the west side of the site (next to Abbott Street), and in the public parkade (off Rose Ave). Visitors using the Rose Ave. parkade can access KGH via the Centennial Building from Pandosy Street or via the Royal Building from Strathcona Avenue. There will be a shuttle service to and from the public parkade lobby for visitors needing assistance.

formance does falter, a busy manager may be tempted to shrug it off as an isolated incident or tolerant it believing it to be a temporary slump. And that may be all it is but the best way to be sure is to immediately talk to the employee. At this stage, the conversation will about determining whether there is a real problem and if necessary, how to resolve it. If it is nothing serious, then words of encouragement and support would be quite appropriate. The goal is to leave the door open for follow up. The manager needs to keep an eye on the situation, and not let any substandard performance become a pattern. If it does recur then the next exchange will be a little easier because the topic has already been raised. If performance issues escalate to the point

of possible discipline or termination, inarguably those are difficult conversations to have. They are so necessary though. Ignoring the reality does not make things better for anyone, no matter how much everyone wishes that were true. Knowing how—and when—to give constructive feedback is a core skill for managers to have. Most learn by trial and error and many who become competent continue to feel a level of discomfort doing it. Whatever the issue, “difficult” conversations can be less so when they are broached with honest intention, respect and an open mind.

Bus line struggles with B.C. rules Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR

Greyhound Canada is losing millions on its B.C. operations because of rigid provincial rules that require minimum bus trips on inter-city routes regardless of passenger demand. Minimum daily service levels are set by the provincially appointed Passenger Transportation Board. For Vancouver to Kamloops, and on the Trans Canada Highway at Golden, for example, Greyhound is required to run four buses each way, seven days a week. “You have a minimum frequency that you have to run on every corridor, really regardless of whether you’re carrying 20 people or five people on each schedule,” said Stuart Kendrick, senior vice president of Greyhound Canada. Kendrick said the company lost $14 million on its B.C. operations in 2011, and previous years have seen similar losses. He has written to Transportation Minister Mary Polak asking the B.C. government to follow the lead of other provinces and deregulate bus service so it can be kept

alive. Polak said she is aware that B.C. service is at risk, and ministry staff are working on options. “It’s obvious from what they’re saying that they need to make adjustments, or they’re going to have to pull out of the whole thing,” Polak said. The company has applied to the board to reduce service on B.C. routes, but not drop any routes entirely. Kendrick said the rules don’t allow adjustments to reflect lighter traffic on certain days of the week, or seasonal adjustments. Manitoba changed its regulations in July to allow flexible schedules. Alberta deregulated inter-city bus routes in 2011, allowing bus companies to enter or exit a route with 30 days’ notice. Some routes have been abandoned as a result, as urbanization and changing travel habits have led to declines in rural ridership. In New Brunswick, rigid rules prompted the only inter-city bus line to shut down entirely. Kendrick said the B.C. rules are not only inflexible, but the application process takes too long, with route change advertising and possible public meetings in the affected communities called for.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ SPOKEN WORD

Adventures in writing that are sonorous to the listener Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

On first blush, UBCOprofessors Anne Fleming and Nancy Holmes have a fair amount in common. They’re both creative writing professors who spent their work lives in the academic world. Both women publish to strings of accolades and both have the sort of light, entertaining lilt to their voice that suggests an ability to entertain. This last quality will have to be the tie that binds when they host a joint reading and book launch in the Okanagan Regional Library next week for everything from subject matter to the root of their literary gifts seems as far removed as possible. As Fleming, the author of Gay Dwarves of America, hopes her audience isn’t flummoxed by the lack of homosexual small people in her short story collection, Holmes will be fretting over providing an accessible performance so anyone who has ventured up Knox Mountain or gazed upon the craggy dust of an Okanagan hillside will feel attune to the landscape on which she pontificates. “I started writing the poems in this book maybe seven or eight years ago as a way of getting to know the place where I lived…The more you learn about something, the more attractive it seems to you,” said Holmes. “So it’s been a part of my growing attachment to the Okanagan.” The Flicker Tree: Okanagan Poems is

the fifth poetry collection Holmes has put out since she started teaching at Okanagan University College 20 years ago. It is her way of celebrating the grasslands and the prickly pears, the arrowleaf balsamroot and the sagebrush Mariposa lily; but it’s also an exploration

“I’ve had a few people read it and say it’s too close to home,” she said. Reviewer Shawn Syms doesn’t seem to agree, saying it’s a straightforward narra-

of grief. As she wrote these poems, her father passed away and her best friend battled and eventually succumbed to cancer. The pain of those losses informs the text. Nevertheless, the decapitated mallard heads toppling under her father’s axe in Red-Tailed Hawk are more a reminiscence than a stake in the heart, she claims. Her father was a hunter and the duck heads in the backyard part of the landscape. “I kind of found them quite fascinating, though nowadays I would probably freak out if I found a duck head in my backyard,” she said. Holmes started her career as an introverted writer, penning sonnets and concentrating on the written text. After learning more about spoken word and slam poetry through her students, particularly as the art form resurfaced

in the late 1990s and early 2000s, she began to concentrate more on how words sound in performance and on ensuring the message can connect with an audience. “I want to speak directly in my own plain speaking voice to other people who care about this particular environment, the ecology and the region,” she said. “I was very conscious of trying to make a poem I could speak and that people would understand.” By contrast, the average person isn’t supposed to relate to a gay dwarf in America. The subgroup forms the inspiration for a website that causes a great deal of conflict in the title story of Fleming’s second

Gay Dwarves of America contains either nine stories or 39, depending on how you take the last 31 pages of the book, comprised of oneword stories. Fleming doesn’t really believe a story can be one word, but is willing to entertain the possibility as it suggests a jumping off point for readers; and her own leap of faith into fiction followed a similar path. “I started writing

A pair of urban planning students avoiding work in a late-night study session brainstorm seemingly ridiculous website premisses like Lithuanian Dadaists and lesbians who swim with the whales. “It actually comes from my own exploration of the Internet in the early days,” explained Fleming. “There was a website of hamster breeders and I just thought that was so funny that people actually took hamster breading that seriously.” Fleming’s characters soon discover there are gay dwarves in America for whom this seemingly absurd and funny existence is simply the reality

goofy things to make my friends laugh, and so they did, and so I kept going,” she said, noting she never had any intention of penning the next great Canadian novel. Eventually, her vision of becoming a geographer or environmentalist slipped away and she realized writing was something that would never cease to hold her interest. Her story Thorn-blossoms offers us a window on why. After reading a newspaper article on a parent who throttled a hockey coach, Fleming has crafted a tale about family dynamics and the stress of dealing with dementia already critiqued by Quill and Quire as “masterful.”

tive characteristic of “the fraught relationships” throughout the whole book. Fleming’s grandmother had dementia and her mother a form of Parkinson’s disease that causes dementia, but the characters still required a good deal of research. This is one of her favourite aspects of writing. “My current novel is set in the 17th century so there’s just a whole world to come to know. Each book brings with it a whole area of interest that I don’t know anything about,” she said. Fleming has two collections of short stories and one novel; she is currently working on a second novel while on sabbatical in Vancouver, where she is raising her nine-year-old daughter. The women will share their work with their Okanagan audience next Thursday, Oct. 4, at the Okanagan Regional Library branch in downtown Kelowna, 1380 Ellis St., from 7 to 9 p.m. Admission is free. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ MOVIE REVIEW

▼ VOLUNTEER CENTER

End of Watch gives an Professional development appreciation of police for managers of volunteers END OF WATCH For most of us, our knowledge about what ‘cops’ do is gleaned from a few badly acted, sanitized TV shows where, in the course of an hour, the bad guys are caught and everyone goes home. For those in the know, the phrase “end of watch” holds a special meaning and it’s the sad reality that faces those on the Thin Blue Line on a daily basis. This film, written and directed by David Ayer (of Training Day fame), has a plethora of stars. Jake Gyllenhaal ( Brian Taylor), who was in Zodiac and Brokeback Mountain; Michael Pena (Mike Zavala), from The Lincoln Lawyer, and Million Dollar Baby; Anna Kendrick (Janet), of Twilight and Scott Pilgrim vs The World (just give this one a miss); America Ferrera (Orozco) who starred in Ugly Betty and was in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants; and Frank Grillo (Sarge), of The Grey and Minority Report. The acting was excellent all around. Shot in ‘found footage’ style, it is grainy, jumpy and uncensored, with bad language, violence and disturbing scenes throughout.

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen The partners (Taylor and Zavala) have unwittingly made enemies of a drug cartel who aim to rule the mean streets of Los Angeles in 2011, and particularly dislike anyone who would stand in their way. None of us who are not members of a police force will be able to fully comprehend how true to life this show is, but it sure looked real to me and it gives us much to think about. We often take our police for granted, knowing that they’ll be there if and when we need them, we just never ask ourselves what price they pay for keeping us safe, and maybe we don’t want to know. But there is a price and in some small way, this show gives us a look at what that price might be. End of Watch gives us a glimpse into that world and, frame by frame, we come to realize that the end will not be as we hope it will. Don’t let that deter

you from seeing it. End of Watch forces us to look at the world of the really bad guys and thank our lucky stars that we live where we live and have the men and women in uniform watching our backs—we should celebrate them far more than we do. There was laughter in this show, and a couple of funny lines were: “Just because I look like the dude from Home Depot doesn’t mean I do what the dudes at Home Depot do” and “Policing is all about comfortable shoes.” This film is neither sanitized nor badly acted and you won’t soon forget it. I give End of Watch four 1/2 reels.

About 12 years ago, I started asking myself questions about how I could become more productive in the ways I worked with volunteers, which I had for most of my adult life. I was looking for ideas based in research and experience and I wanted some ongoing support, a network of people to turn to for help in keeping my perspective fresh. The Overview of Volunteer Management workshop met my needs. Later I co-facilitated this training and now I manage community services at KCR and supervise the hosting of this course. Deborah Klassen was brand new in her job of

working with volunteers when she participated in the workshop last fall. “It was a great equipping tool that put all of the basics at my fingertips,” said Klassen, volunteer coordinator and community liaison for the Karis Support Society. The training binder held a prominent place on her desk for the first few months so that she could adapt the forms, policies and procedures. “I found networking with other volunteer managers so beneficial be-

cause their experiences helped to prepare me for what was ahead,” added Klassen. Maybe it is your turn. Why not sign up for our Overview of Management workshop? Learn more about recruiting, screening and engaging volunteers while managing risk. Sharpen your interpersonal communication skills for daily interactions. Think about budgets and evaluating your program, to name a few of the topics. This workshop is

practical and hands on so that you can plan, oversee and evaluate any size of volunteer program at any stage of development. The workshop will run Mondays and Tuesdays, Oct. 29 and 30 and Nov. 5 and 6, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $199.

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS

Looper through the time machine

have to apologize for not mentioning End of Watch in last week’s column. With the number of movies opening and everything I had to mention, I completely missed it. The cop action-drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña was the number one movie last weekend, with both audiences and critics giving it good reviews. Having already opened the Toronto International Film Festival, Looper is garnering universal acclaim from critics. In this futuristic action thriller, time travel is possible but outlawed. However, it is available on the black market and when they want to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years in the past and that is where a looper like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is waiting to make the hit. Joe is getting rich being a hired gun, but the mob decides to close the loop and sends his future self (Bruce Willis) back in time for assassination. If you have not seen a movie in the Xtreme auditorium at the new Landmark 8 in West Kelowna, this might be the one. Rottentomatoes.com calls it a thought-provoking and thrilling delivery of

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis an original blend of futuristic sci-fi and good oldfashioned action. Hotel Transylvania is where monsters and their families can live it up without humans to bother them. Owned and operated by Dracula, he invites some of the world’s most famous monsters— Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, the Wolfman and family, Bigfoot, The Blob and many others— to celebrate his daughter Mavis’ 118th birthday. However, the party is crashed by an unexpected visitor in the form of an ordinary human named Jonathan. Hotel Transylvania features the voices of Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Andy Samberg, Kevin James, Fran Drescher, Jon Lovitz, Cee Lo Green, Steve Buscemi, Molly Shannon and David Spade. It opens in 3D (with 2D performances) at both the Landmark Grand 10 and the Landmark 8.

If you are a fan of writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson’s films like There Will Be Blood, Magnolia and Boogie Nights, you will be interested The Master, opening at the Paramount Theatre. For the uninitiated, be warned that Anderson’s films are magnificent, but challenge the viewer to not just watch his movies but become involved with them. Set in post Second World War America, The Master is the story of a Naval veteran (Joaquin Phoenix) who is struggling to adjust to post-war life. His battles with post traumatic stress disorder and alcoholism lead him to charismatic intellectual (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who has recently created a faith-based organization. Although the faith be-

each of the past years. From 20-year-old scotch whisky to frozen margaritas and craft beer from all over B.C., this sounds fantastic. This is a two day

gins to gain a fervent following, the veteran finds himself questioning both the belief system he has embraced and his mentor. Also starring Amy Adams and Laura Dern, The Master has courted controversy because the faith-based organization in the movie shares more than a few similarities to the Church of Scientology. And finally, I have to mention that a 30-yearold movie is still having success in theatres. Raiders of the Lost Ark is heading into its third week at the Grand 10 and is opening for a one-week run at the Landmark 8.

NEWS â&#x2013;ź MUSIC

The positive impact of music education Claudia Kargl CONTRIBUTOR

As the fall swirl of extracurricular activities gets underway, parents and children are making decisions about programs and schedules. Did you know that learning music is more than just taking a weekly lesson? Enrolling in a music program at an early age opens up a whole new world of enjoyment, creativity and self-expression. Making music sparks the imagination and provides opportunity to think outside the box. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imagination is more important than knowledge,â&#x20AC;? Albert Einstein wrote. A childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential can be developed in the fields of memory concentration and perceptual motor skills which are necessary for success in school and in other parts of life. The rewards for study-

ing music are numerous. Through a structured course of music study, a child learns to focus and concentrate which helps to persevere and persist and develops self-discipline. Good listening skills and attention to details are taught. Since there is a direct correlation between math and music, a child acquires skills to excel both in math and music. Studying music also establishes good thinking skills including analysis, synthesis, evaluation and problem finding and solving. Music is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;symbolâ&#x20AC;? language and the semantics of music is the most complete and universal language. Music is an international language that all people speak. It cuts across racial, cultural, social and economic barriers and enhances cultural appreciation and awareness. Music is like a gym

class for body, mind and human emotional spirit. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it. Not only is sports great for children but so is taking music lessons. Music is an art form that opens the doors to all sorts of social opportunity that is so important for young people. Continued study of music tends to inspire continuous growth in other areas of life. There is no question about the positive effect of music education on a child. Music study can be a fun, worthwhile and most rewarding learning experience. Of paramount importance though is the parent-child-teacher relationship that establishes the foundation for a positive learning experience. A lot of listening, understanding, support, guidance and praise are required from both teacher and parent. A strong educational partnership of teacherchild-parent is key.

The Kelowna branch of the B.C. Registered Music Teachers Association is an association that currently consists of 19 members, all fully qualified and registered teachers, who are committed to music educational excellence. For top quality professional service and instruction, parents, seeking the very best in music education, are strongly advised to visit www.kelownabcrmta.com for teacher contact information along with soon to be posted upcoming events. BCRMTA teachers are located in and around the Kelowna and West Kelowna areas. Sitting on the newly elected 2012-13 BCRMTA Kelowna branch executive along with myself as co-president are treasurer Debbie Batycki, secretary Ursula Pidgeon, past president Marla Mesenbrink and co-president Graham Vink. We are a passion-

ate, â&#x20AC;&#x153;upbeatâ&#x20AC;? group of volunteers who are eager to bring new energy to the community. Professional development for teachers and students with workshop, seminar and master class opportunity is planned. The Kelowna BCRMTA executive board is proud and excited to announce the newly founded creative educational partnership with Maestro Rosemary Thomson and the OSO. Anybody with professional qualifications and interested to become a new member is cordially invited to join and be an active team player as part of our enthusiastic board. For more information, contact Debbie Batycki, the membership/teacher representative, at 250763-5773 or email batycki@telus.net. Claudia Kargl is the co-president of the Kelowna branch of the B.C.

Live your life in the present

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated that more than 90 per cent of all disease stems from stress and its repercussion on our bodies and minds. We live in a fast-paced culture not only based on immediate gratification, but also the stress of so many choices. There is a tool that is used, one I learned at a Buddhist monastery while in Tibet, which if used appropriately will reduce your stress enormously. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very simple and its effects are immediate. It goes like this: Now, choice. Now choose. Simply, it helps us ASK place ourselves in the moDR.THIEL ment of now and empowers us with the power of choice. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk about the idea of now. Existentially and pracMarkus tically, there is and always been nothing more Thiel has than now. Expanding on this point, we need to understand that there is no such thing as the future and no such thing as the past. We dwell and always have existed in the now. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go into the future and come back no more than you can go into the past and come back. There is only now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only place where we exist. The future and the past are only ideas and not real as we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect them. One time during meditation in this monastery, the Buddhist master showed me this. He was aware that my mind was not on my meditation, in fact I was not in the now. He approached me, knelt down and asked me simply â&#x20AC;&#x153;Markus, are you here now?â&#x20AC;? I looked up at him and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes.â&#x20AC;? He stood up, as if walking away, walked behind me and smacked me on the back with his bamboo cane. He entirely changed my state and I had no choice but to be in the now. He knelt in front of me once again and smiling said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you with us now?â&#x20AC;? Before I could answer he continued: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young mind, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no strength from being elsewhere other than here. To think of things that have been or will be removes your strength and ability to affect your life. It is a delusion to be elsewhere other than now.â&#x20AC;? Since then, I look at the past and the future from the present. Think of your now. What do you hear? What do you feel? What do you see? Now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now. The second part of now, choice is choice. We, our health, our relationships, everything in our universe is the sum result of every single choice we have made in our lives up until this point. Everything. My mom used to say that we are all superheroes because we have the ultimate power, the power to choose. This is a lofty responsibility, one that some people tend to let other people do for them. Those people are called victims, and they live their life as such. To let someone choose for you is living disingenuously. We have the power to choose what we eat, what we say, what we believe, what we feel and most importantly what we do and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do. I heard a philosopher once said that: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are human beings not human doings.â&#x20AC;? To be, is to choose. To live in resentment towards someone else or blame someone for your state makes about as much sense as letting someone take your accolades for something wonderful that you did. When exercising superhuman power of choice it is important to note that all choices you make should be true to the ideas of betterment, compassion and loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not self-deprecating destructive behaviours. Now, choose. Marlus Thiel is a doctor of chiropractic in Kelowna. Contact him at askdrthiel@shaw.ca.

NEWS ▼ ROTARY

Morningside Rotarians provide bursary surprise to students Four students from Rutland Senior Secondary School received a surprise earlier this summer during their grad ceremony. All the graduating students and their supporters were gathered at Trinity Baptist Church on Springfield Road for the evening’s ceremony. At the event’s conclusion, students Alexa Paradowski, Jonas Gering, Laurel Raffel and Jazzmin Tavares all learned they were each recipients of a $1,000 bursary contributed by Kelowna Morningside Rotary Club. The bursaries were provided to Grade 12 students who had been accepted to post-secondary institutions. The students apply for the bursaries and are selected on the following criteria—need, community/volunteering involvement and academics. The funds are to be utilized for tuition costs and/or books. At the club’s regular meeting last Thursday, bursary recipients Laurel Raffel and Jazzmin Tavares talked to club members about their future post-secondary plans. Tavares is embarking on a bachelor of science course at UBC Okanagan, studying general science. It is a four-year course after which she will head to medical school for a further four years of study before heading out into the world of work as a general practitioner. Raffel is going to study human kinetics at Okanagan

College in Penticton, the first step in her studies to become a physiotherapist. The first two years of study is dedicated to a diploma course and is followed by a two-year degree course which she hopes to complete at either the University of British Columbia or the University of Victoria. After this there is a further two years of study to qualify as a physiotherapist. Ultimately, Raffel would like to provide physiotherapy services to the sports world and has her sights set on working with the Canadian Olympic teams for the 2018 South Korea Winter Games and the 2020 Summer Games. Another area of interest for her is working in communities around the world in which polio is still present. This is a subject very close to the organization’s heart as in 1985 Rotary International created PolioPlus—a program to immunize all the world’s children against polio. Commenting on this year’s bursary awards, outgoing club president Bob Rix said, “We are delighted once again to make these awards and yet again I have been really impressed with the focus and determination of the students. Their hard work and dedication to study is a wonderful thing and we wish them all very best for their chosen studies and careers.”

Popular park playground closed for an upgrade After more than 20 years, the playground at Mission Creek Regional Park will undergo a major overhaul. Most of the old equipment will be removed and replaced with new equipment and an updated play structure, funded in part with a contribution from the Orchard City Lions Club. The new playground is designed to meet the needs of children from ages two through 12. This construction will also see installation of a new multi-sensory play area along with an upgraded safety surfacing made from recycled tires, thanks to a grant from the Tire Stewardship BC community grant program.

The demolition and construction will see the playground area fenced off and closed until late November or early December. Signs advising of the work have been posted in the playground area and at the nearby Environmental Education Centre for the Okanagan. During the construction period, there may be minor disruptions in nearby parking areas as the contractor will be using a portion of the adjacent lot for staging and equipment. The Leckie Road and Durnin Road entrances to the park will remain open. The planned upgrades and redesign of the playground focus on inclusive

play for children of all abilities, providing both passive and active play opportunities and use natural play elements appropriate to the park setting. The final design was developed along with input from several organizations including the Community Action Towards Children’s Health, Community Recreational Initiatives Society and the Central Okanagan Parent Advisory Council. For alternate play facilities, parents can consider these alternatives for their kids—he City of Kelowna Play for All playground at the Parkinson Recreation Centre, or Gerstmar Park at the end of Gerstmar Road near the Mission Creek Greenway.

FOOD BANK DONATION…Last week, the Kelowna Morningside Rotary Club presented a $500 donation to the Kelowna Community Food Bank. Lenetta Parry (right), the food bank’s associate executive director, attended the Rotary club’s meeting last Thursday to talk about the food bank. It was founded in 1983 as an operation to meet emergency food needs for the community and since then has grown from serving 600 people in the first year to over 750 per week. The donation was made possible by the generosity of Franklin Templeton Investments in Kelowna as the company’s regional sales manager, Ron Langevin (centre), was on hand to present Parry with the donation. Andy Craig, president of the Morningside Rotary club, added: “We are delighted to be able to involve ourselves in local good causes such as this. The food bank has provided many families with much needed provisions over the years and through donations such as this we, as a community, can help to ensure their good work continues.”

NEWS ▼ HOPE AIR FUNDRAISER

Free flights for cancer patients When just a baby, Libby was diagnosed with a rare form of melanoma and needed to get to specialized cancer care at B.C Children’s Hospital, she and her mom got a free flight from Hope Air. On Tuesday, Libby, now two, and her mom Cheryl were on hand at the second-annual Inside Ride for Hope Air in Kelowna to raise money for a special Hope Air Flights Fund to get kids with cancer to care. The event was a great success, raising almost $15,000, which will result in 100 flights. “Free flights close the gap between home and hospital for low income families,” said Hope Air executive director Doug Keller-Hobson, who par-

ticipated as a rider on the Hope Air team. “Our mission at Hope Air is to improve access to health care by eliminating the barriers of cost and distance; we do that by providing free flights which reduce time away from school, work and family.” Cheryl said Hope Air was a relief to her family when Libby needed to access specialized treatment in Vancouver. “We didn’t know how we’d get to Vancouver for her care: Hope Air helped us out at a very stressful time in our lives,” she said. Cancer treatment for kids is so specialized that it requires expertise and medical technologies in B.C. that are centralized at

B.C. Children’s Hospital. While cancer treatment is the number one reason why people need a free flight from Hope Air, the airline also provides its free flight services to people of all ages, with all illnesses from all across Canada. Founded in 1986, Hope Air has provided almost 72,000 flights, with about half of those for children seeking medical attention. Last year, Hope Air did 4,579 flights across Canada with the Kelowna to Vancouver route the busiest route for each of the last three years. Patients in need are encouraged to contact the charity to see if they qualify at www.hopeair.ca or call 1-877-346-4673.

Braden Messenger is a volunteer pilot with Hope Air who lives in Kelowna. His wife Dawn works at GoodLife Fitness, where The Inside Ride was held this year. “I just completed my 25th mission for Hope Air last week,” said Messenger. “Volunteering for Hope Air is the most satisfying flying I have done in my career: it is so great to know that you are getting people to the care they need. “One in five Hope Air clients say that without our free flights, they would not be able to get to the care they need. “And 22 per cent would face drives up to 12 hours or more—each way.”

Fall harvest at Gellatly Nut Farm

STEPHANIE PASCUZZO, whose mother is president of the Gellatly Nut Farm Society, creates one of several sock monkeys she offered for sale.

Gellatly Nut Farm Regional Park hosted its largest Fall Harvest Fair last Saturday. Approximately 1,000 people came out to support the event, which is an fundraiser for the Gellatly Nut Farm Society. But according to the society’s past president Carl Zanon, the fair was also an opportunity for the community to take in a free event. “It’s a fundraiser for sure, but we don’t look to get a whole lot of money,” said Zanon. “The intention is to bring families here and take advantage of the setting.” Seventy volunteers contributed to make the event a possibility, said Zanon. Three performers—Rhonda Draper, Darkhorse and The Dance Band—took the stage throughout the day to provide entertainment for visitors of the fair. The Regional District of the Central Okanagan maintains and operates the regional park, while the Gellatly Nut Farm Society is a non-profit organization that works to preserve the nut farm. Money raised from the nut harvest goes toward upkeep and projects at the nut farm.

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection September 2012 Q MBSS Global Service Club

Peer counsellors: working together to help fellow students BY ALLISON BROWN Mt. Boucherie Secondary School’s Mrs. Bradley, head of the peer counselling leadership class, led her 24 students to Camp Owaissi September 18th and 19th for what some described as a “mind-blowing experience”. After submitting an application and being interviewed by a few of the older peer counsellors, I found myself on the winding road that led to Camp Owaissi for what would be one of the most unique retreats. Ever. At MBSS, a leadership program is offered for students who wish to become a peer counsellor; someone who helps others sort out their problems and support them through tough times. Only about 10-15 peer counsel-

lors are accepted into the program each year. Who makes the cut is dependent upon the student’s attitude in and outside of school, their ability to be personable and that special mix of empathy and support that allows one to be a natural problem solver. One thing in the program is stressed: anyone can apply and all are welcome. So there we sat, bouncing down Westside Road for an overnight retreat intended to strengthen our bond as a group. We arrived around 10 in the morning on a Tuesday. The camp was charming and the owners very hospitable, a relaxing place to hold a retreat. We began by playing a few ice breaker games to familiarize ourselves

with everyone in the group. Personally, I was very timid but that feeling faded almost instantly as the atmosphere was light and inviting. We practiced mediation tech-

CAMP OWAISSI on Lake Okanagan was the setting for 24 select students who came together to acquire the skills to support and enhance the positive environment of MBSS.

New beginnings BY LISA MOORE With a new school year there are always changes and this year is no exception for Mt. Boucherie. The school is fortunate to be welcoming three new members to the administrative team. Mr. McLean joined the staff as the new principal, along with Mr. Cann, and Mr. Ward as vice principals. Mr. Campbell, who has been at the school as vice principal for the past three years, is excited to be collaborating with a new admin team for this coming school year. Having so many new faces around, it makes for lots of new focuses and opportunities around the school. As a team the principals will be working together to get some new and old programs up and

running again this year. Each principal has areas they will primarily be focusing on and as a team they will be running the school. Some of the programs they will be working on include the “Attributes of a Learner” and the “Learning Support Center” as well as offering different courses in the Career Center. With such a large student body some mixed emotions are to be expected when it comes to a new admin team; but already they have received a warm welcome into the school. This year won’t be about changes but will be about offering the best opportunities possible to students. Each principal is excited about the new the prospects that it will bring.

niques and the more experienced counsellors shared their wisdom, us ﬁrst years rapt with attention. Laughter seemed to follow us wherever we went, whether it be

cooking our meals in the kitchen or canoeing on the lake. A highlight for most was near the end of the evening when we ran mock mediation sessions. This just allows us to practice problem solving and learn how to handle a variety of situations. Though as the night wore on this turned into ridiculous scenarios with accents and wild background stories causing gut wrenching laughter all around. As I said before, peer counsellors are about support and helping others. But we have to be emotionally stable ourselves before we can take on someone else’s problems. This was the part of the trip where our bond grew stronger, our understanding and

appreciation for one another linked us and spun us into a family. We became a support group, a place where we could trust each other and open up. In today’s world, events like these are rare, but the purpose of peer counsellors is to have someone to lean on, someone who you can trust and that night, I gained 23 of them. The retreat was a success. Mrs. Bradley brought us to a place where we could all unite as one and on behalf of the peer counsellors I want to thank you for bringing us together. We are all eager to begin the year and spread that feeling of unity throughout the school. Our door is always open, you can ﬁnd us in the counselling centre, and all are welcome.

Underdog Mt. Boucherie Bears shock the province BY ERIK WANNOP Going into the 2012 season, the Mt. Boucherie Bears football team was definitely not expected to make too much noise on the provincial rankings. Coach Mike Godwin had different expectations for the team. He set them up with a very difficult preseason lineup, which they were going in as the underdogs. The bears were scheduled to face Vancouver College, Notre Dame, and New Westminster, three of the top coastal powerhouses. This was a tall task for the bears since not being ranked in the province prior to the season. The bears started off with Vancouver College, playing on the road, they were definitely not the favorite to win. Although they didn’t

come out with the W, the bears fought a very hard battle and spent most of the game in the lead. With all the injuries to the bears, they played very well considering their opponent was ranked third in the province. Following the game, coach Godwin was quite pleased with how his team played bearing in mind the circumstances. But there is always room for improvement in the game of football. They went back to have a hard, disciplined week of practice to get ready for another difﬁcult game. This week they were up against Notre Dame, who they haven’t seen since the ﬁnal game of last season in BC Place where they knocked Boucherie out of the playoffs. MBSS went into this game not

knowing what to expect, they knew they were well prepared and ready to fight. The underdogs went into halftime down by quite a few, but rallied back in the second half throwing two long touchdowns to both Spencer Humes and Cam Spence to get ahead of the Jugglers by a substantial amount. Nearly the end of the fourth quarter came around and Notre Dame scored a long Hail Mary to put them closer to the Bears, but it just wasn’t enough after a field goal by Peter Briker. This 38-35 win for the bears really put them on the map. For the first time, the Mt. Boucherie Bears were ranked in the provincial rankings. Now, after finishing the game within three points to yet another strong coastal team,

the New Westminster Hyacks, the Bears are going into the season with their heads held high. After coming close to two of the top ranked teams in BC, the Mt. Boucherie Bears are going into the regular season with high hopes. They are expecting to see these teams back for a re-match in BC Place late November in the provincial championships. They just have to focus hard and not get surprised by the talent that both Rutland and KSS have to offer during the regular season.

Drive-thru breakfast Friday to help Westside Foodbank BY BRIANNE MOORE Mount Boucherie’s Global Service club has not only welcomed new members into the club this year but has taken on a new event. At Mount Boucherie Secondary School on September 28 from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., members of the club are asking students and their parents to purchase breakfast for $5 in support of the Westside Foodbank. As many

students and their families utilize the Westside Foodbank, it is the club’s focus this fall to give back and support our peers and community. With the support from the citizens of Westbank, last spring, the club saw great success with their ﬁrst drive-thru breakfast. The club was then able to raise the ﬁnal funds required for the completion of a village in rural Ecuador, providing the

community with accessible water, a medical clinic, a school and an alternative income project. It is again the support of vendors like Starbucks, the Kelowna Packing House, and Superstore that brought this event to raise the funds needed to help us accomplish our goals and bring support to the projects we believe truly deserve them.

West Kelowna raises local issues at UBCM convention Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater and members of council have been lobbying provincial government representatives in Victoria since Monday. Elected representatives from the district are attending the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention this week and have been given face time with several ministers. Westside representatives met Tuesday with staff from the ministry of justice and attorney general to speak about the district’s McDougall Creek Flood Recovery Plan and the application for emergency financial assistance to complete the recommended work. “We commissioned the report after the major rainfall event last April that caused the flooding of McDougall Creek and damaged homes along Hitchner Road,” said Findlater. “The report clearly states that if we don’t remove the accumulated debris and restore the creek bed, another damaging flood is likely to occur.” West Kelowna asked that its Provincial Emergency Program application to complete $483,000 in works be supported. The district was advised the application is still being assessed. Next, the district met with Education Minister Don McRae to speak about ongoing concerns with the School Site Acquisition Charge. School District 23 has indicated its intention to implement the charge on new development in local municipalities; however, the charge would not extend to development on WFN land. The district has argued that since there are non-native residents living on the First Nations land and attending schools within West Kelowna, the charge is inequitable. West Kelowna is asking the province to investigate a means of collecting School Site Acquisition Charges outside of the Local Government Act as First Nations lands cannot be subject to provin-

cial or local government development cost charges. Mayor and council members also met on Tuesday with Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond, Minister of Health Margaret MacDiarmid and Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Mary Polak. On Monday, council met with Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Bill Bennett to speak about the district’s interest in obtaining Crown land grants and advise him of informal service reviews underway. “When the District of West Kelowna incorporated, the province advised us that we would be supported in securing appropriate Crown land for municipal purposes,” said Findlater. “The district needs land for a variety of our functions including a works yard, firehall and municipal hall. As yet we have not been successful in securing Crown land grants and we asked Mr. Bennett for much-needed support from his ministry to reach this goal.” West Kelowna also took the opportunity to advise Minister Bennett that it has undertaken an informal review of services the municipality receives from other governments and is looking forward to opening the dialogue with service providers on its findings. “When West Kelowna incorporated and took over many services previously provided by other governments, there was no formal review of services at the time,” Findlater said. “Five years later we are taking a look at what services we receive from others and analyzing them with what is best for the West Kelowna taxpayer in mind.” According to Findlater, the first two days of meetings with ministers and representatives were extremely beneficial. “I truly believe our provincial representatives are interested in hearing what we have to say and, if they can help, they seem more than willing to offer it. We have a lot of leads to follow up on in the coming months, but we have certainly not been dismissed.”

ffensive as it may be, I am a member of a two-vehicle family. My office is a 20-minute walk from my home. Surely to goodness we could do with one vehicle. Of course, my wife gets to drive the nicer, newer of our two vehicles. I can imagine the headline of my wife’s responding letter to the editor: “Hergott dreaming if he thinks he could ever drive the wife’s car.” (That’s an inside joke for regular readers of this column.) Actually, I do get the pleasure of driving the nicer car from time to time. I get to be the chauffeur when we go out as a family. When that happens, I can count on one extra stop. The extra stop is at a gas station because, seemingly without exception, the warning lights are all excited about how low the fuel level is. You may not know what I’m talking about, and rightly so. There’s no reason to ever become familiar with those warning bells and whistles. If you pass a multitude of gas stations any time you go for a drive, why would you wait until you’re driving on fumes to fill up? It’s sort of like using up the last of the toilet paper and not putting on a new roll, or draining the juice in the fridge without making a new jug. If it’s your car, it’s just you who you’re inconveniencing by getting to that point of having to find a gas station because you’re just about to run out. Unless you’re driving the family vehicle. Unless you can count on your husband getting behind the wheel from time to time. It’s sort of like your husband having a special, separate roll of toilet paper, and using that one up. I’ve distracted myself from the point of this column. By now, perhaps several sentences ago, I’ve lost my female audience. What good is it to make my point to the men who aren’t the problem? Oh boy, what is it that motivates me to be so offensively sexist from time to time? What is it that draws us to putting our own safety and wellbeing at risk? What makes bungee jumping, zip lining and

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott jumping out of airplanes so alluring? Finally, the legal advice you’ve been waiting for. Forget about making your husband happy. It is actually negligent to drive with so little gas in your tank that you could run out of gas. A stopped vehicle on a roadway presents a hazard. There is a case that came to my attention recently, even though it was decided in 2007. You can find it on the Supreme Court of British Columbia website using “Smith and Tucker” as the search criteria. The decision of Justice Russell contains the following conclusion: “I

conclude that the reasonably prudent driver would have foreseen the risk of the vehicle running out of fuel on the basis of the warning tone and, given that gasoline stations were located en route, would have stopped to refill or top-up the vehicle to avoid an incident such as the one that did, in fact, occur.” She goes on, addressing the clear attempt by the woman driver to “pass the buck” and blame her husband for her own negligence: “The defendant’s reliance on her husband’s erroneous advice does not obviate her personal responsibility as the operator of a motor vehicle to ensure that it is in proper working condition. Therefore, I conclude that the defendant was negligent in permitting the truck to run out of fuel and stall while travelling in traffic.” If there are flashing lights and bells and whistles telling you that you

are low on fuel, you’re probably low on fuel. If your husband tells you that you’re fine to keep going and not fill up, he may be trying to collect on life insurance. Anyway, how about making a practice of filling up before the tank gets to the one-half point? Aside from giving your husband a warm, fuzzy feeling when he gets that periodic privilege of chauffeuring the family around in the nicer vehicle, you will be driving more safely, eliminating the chance that you will run out of gas and create a hazard on a roadway. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case.

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