It’s not often a patient propositions their surgeon—with money—while lying on the operating table, but when being helpful runs in your veins, these situations just crop up. This is how Laurel D’Andrea describes how she came to assemble a team to raise $280,000 for Kelowna General Hospital, more than enough to ensure patients with gallbladder attacks can get their gallstones broken up with a laser, rather than enduring a multi-day hospital visit and operation. “I don’t like being the leader all the time,” D’Andrea said in interview Monday afternoon. “When I volunteer for Emergency

The issue of inadvertent 911 calling from cell phones continues to keep Kelowna police hopping. “Pocket dialling,” as it is known, was on the mind of the city’s top cop, Supt, Bill McKinnon, on Monday as he addressed city council about the latest crime statistics in Kelowna. McKinnon said in the four-month period between the start of May and end of August, the Kelowna RCMP dealt with 1,192 pocket-dialled 911 calls from cell phones, about eight per cent of the total number of calls for service police dealt with in the period. McKinnon said in responding to such calls, attempts are made to contact the callers by phone but if that is unsuccessful—which it is in most cases—police officers have to be dispatched. He estimated the total cost of responding to each call at about $200. “That’s a significant amount of money and a lot of man-hours,” said McKinnon. He said typically a 911 call is responded to with two police cruisers. The city currently has no way of charging for 911 calls from cell phones because the courts have ruled against that, noted Coun. Robert Hobson. McKinnon said unlike Apple iPhones and other touch screen phones that have to be switched on to

NEWS ▼ RUN FOR THE CURE

Breast cancer fundraiser raises $253,350 locally Breast cancer survivors, their families, friends and supporters ran for a future without breast cancer by participating in the annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure in Kelowna last Sunday at City Park. Their participation resulted in the Kelowna Run For The Cure raising more than $253,350. Participants walked or ran the five- or the one-kilometre route, having fundraised in the months prior to event day. Across British Columbia’s eight run sites, some 22,000 participants contributed to a regional fundraising total of $3.15 million. Across Canada, participants in 59 communities raised more than $30 million. All funds support initiatives in prevention, early detection, treatment, research and emerging issues in the health care workforce. “The countless hours spent organizing this event and the funds raised show the passion that unites our supporters to not only change the face of breast cancer but further our understanding of it. We are so extremely grateful to all of our supporters and participants,” said Joan Chambers, board chair of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s B.C./ Yukon Region. Local volunteer Run For The Cure directors Barb Hoy and Ann Davis commended the volunteers who made the event possible. “The ongoing success of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure is attributed to

thousands of dedicated volunteers who commit time, energy and resources to the cause,” Hoy said. “For them, this isn’t about a one-day event with thousands of participants. This is one step in the journey towards a future when no one need fear a diagnosis of breast cancer.” In the individual special award categories, the Determination Award for the individual who raised the most donations wen to Rosie Allingham. CIBC Corporate Spirit Team Challenge Award winner for the most donations raised by a corporate team was Pepsi Inspires Hope. Women’s Team Challenge Award for the team of women who raised the most donations was Bust’n Loose. Friends and Family Team Challenge Award (presented by East Side Mario’s) for the team in the community which raises the most donations was Rosie’s Runners School Team Challenge Award (presented by Domino’s Pizza) for the school team which raised the most donations was shared by Kelowna Senior Secondary Owls and UBC Okanagan Nursing. Post-Secondary Challenge Award for the student who raised the most donations went to Melanie Kalloo. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure is Canada’s largest single day, volunteer-led fundraising event which raises funds for breast cancer research, community education and awareness programs.

Education agreement extends UBCO and WFN connection Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The Okanagan Nation Alliance and its member communities have renewed a memorandum of understanding with UBC Okanagan to further aboriginal education at the Kelowna campus.

At the ceremony, Deborah Buszard, deputy vice-chancellor and principal of UBC’s Okanagan campus, said the Okanagan people, their traditions, culture and future are essential to the university. “We are honoured that UBC has been welcomed into the traditional territory of the Okanagan Nation, and are thankful that we have been so warmly

embraced by the aboriginal community,” she said. “Renewing our agreement with the Okanagan Nation Alliance ensures that the opportunities for higher education will continue to be available to these First Nations of the Southern Interior. Our joint initiatives are dedicated to this goal and reflect the high value we put on our relationship.” While she signed the agreement on behalf of the university Friday, Westbank First Nation Chief Robert Lou-

ie signed on behalf of the ONA. The ceremony took place in UBCO’s Aboriginal Centre on the Kelowna campus. Louie said education is crucial for young people, especially aboriginal youth who are using that education to help their communities grow. Since the first agreement was signed between the ONA and UBCO in 2005, the number of aboriginal students at the university has grown to 300 from just 45. awaters@kelownacapnew.com

Marijuana issue about facing reality

he group representing local governments throughout the province has become the latest to call for the end to a war that there is no hope of winning. “For too long our communities have borne the brunt of the harmful consequences of cannabis prohibition, from increased gang violence on our streets to enormous costs of enforcing a thoroughly discredited policy,” said John Ranns, the mayor of Metchosin, which brought forward the resolution calling for

the decriminalization of cannabis that was endorsed at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. At first glance, you could be forgiven for asking yourself: What have these guys been smoking? The issue of marijuana decriminalization is clearly something that falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government. But on further reflection it becomes apparent that it is communities, both large and small, that feel the sting of the rising

bloodshed and squandered resources caused by Canada’s failed drug policies.And B.C.’s municipal leaders are not alone. Dr. Evan Wood, professor of medicine at the University of B.C., called the UBCM resolution a “symbolic gesture” in the bid to stop a trade in which $2.7 billion annually goes to organized crime. “Prohibition has not achieved its stated objectives to reduce the demand for and supply of cannabis. Instead, current laws have resulted in negative social

and economic consequences at the municipal and provincial level,” said Wood, the founder of Stop the Violence B.C., a coalition of academic, legal, law enforcement and health experts campaigning to reform cannabis laws. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has made it clear that he has no desire to change or amend the marijuana laws. But that can’t stop B.C.’s civic leaders from doing what they believe is best for the communities they serve.

Municipalities convention in citement this year, the decriminalizVictoria and instead headed for the ation of pot, which one would you warmer climes of Tampa, Florida to choose? personally lobby for the Ironman. And, it appears the mayor’s ef-

fort paid off. Kelowna is one of three communities on the shortlist to succeed Penticton as host to Ironman Canada, along with Whistler and Hunstville, Ont. But in this instance, Kelowna needs to be careful what it wishes for. Ironman is a big event—a big event that takes a lot of organization. There is a culture around Ironman that no other event this city has, or does, host can match. And that culture has been built up over time in Penticton. And it requires an army of volunteers to make it happen. Kelowna, as has been demonstrated time and again, is not always the volunteer capital of Canada. Sure,

some events do well but others have a hard job gathering the required number of people needed to make it tick and often event organizers find themselves pleading with the public at the last minute to come and lend a hand. This year, the venerable Apple Triathlon—which traditionally goes the weekend before the Ironman— fell about 100 volunteers short of the 1,300 it needed. The city has said it wants the Apple to continue regardless of whether Ironman comes to town. But Ironman requires 3,000 volunteers for the all-day event. And we’re not talking about a one-off here. Kelowna wants to host the annual swim-bike-

run marathon for years to come. So the huge volunteer search would be an annual event. There’s no doubt Ironman would bring in millions in economic spinoff to the city. It would put Kelowna on the sporting map and it would keep the popular event in the valley. But the city has a history of attracting big events only to see them flounder. Hosting Ironman would be one of the biggest undertakings the city has ever attempted. It can be done. But to do so, the public has to feel it is their event. If not, Ironman Canada will be running to another community quicker than a shot from a starter’s pistol.

▼ XERISCAPES

City Beautiful way to conserve water and workers reduce gardening use of pesticides given praise To the editor: In response to recent letters to the editor, I would like to comment on xeriscapes. Twenty-four percent of all water used in this valley goes onto residential yards. Seven percent is used inside homes. The biggest waste is keeping vast expanses of lawn green. Mowing and tending those lawns is the highest maintenance job in a landscape. For these reasons, some people are beginning to consider changing to a xeriscape landscape. The word is often mispronounced as ZEROscape, which adequately describes the common misperception that a xeriscape is created by covering an area with rock and a few struggling plants. This results in much more heat being reflected back onto plants, people and buildings. When leaves drop in the fall, it’s hard to clean them out of the rocks. Inevitably soil and weed seeds lodge in the rocks and weeds grow. It is much harder to weed

out of rocks than out of soil. The true definition of xeriscape is gardening with nature—with the climate that you live in. It could also be called waterwise gardening or sustainable gardening and it can save you time and money. A xeriscape landscape can be created in almost any style from the lowest maintenance of ground covers to the highest maintenance of an English country garden-style flower bed, and everything in between. A very drought-tolerant, low maintenance garden can be made using beautiful Okanagan native plants. In a xeriscape, plants are grouped by water needs so only those needing it, like vegetable gardens, get water. Drought-hardy turf and lawn seed (containing deep-rooted fescue grasses) are available if you need turf. Plants in their ideal conditions thrive and don’t attract pests and diseases. Planting a diversity of plants ensures birds, butterflies, and beneficial

insects will visit and eat any pests. Mulching with organic matter (compost, manures, etc) provides all the fertilizer needed and builds up the soil. The Seven Principles of Xeriscape are a wonderful tool to help anyone garden successfully. These are: planning and design, soil preparation, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, appropriate plant selection, mulching and garden maintenance. After attending my two-night xeriscape class last October, Ray Kirzinger wrote me this summer: “I’ve been bitten by the gardening bug as a result of doing a garden conversion of a corner in our backyard this spring. I spent almost 30 years practicing law and did some yard work during that time but approached it mostly as a burdensome task that had to be completed. I could go on and on about the enthusiasm for gardening I’ve developed, but think I can say it best by sharing that I’ve come to recognize and experience a joy, serenity and almost a type

of spirituality associated with gardening—and I’m astounded to be able to say that!” The non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association has a wealth of information on its website— www.okanaganxeriscape. org—including garden examples, book and website resources, details about the principles and a very informative plant database to help you find appropriate plants. We also offer presentations, classes and a weekly column Gardening with Nature in the Capital News. To see a colourful, lush xeriscape garden, visit our unH2O Garden in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre, 4075 Gordon Dr. It has five theme gardens to help you see what you could do. Plants are labelled. For a complete list of the plants, pick up a brochure from the box in the raised garden. Gwen Steele, Kelowna

To the editor: I’m writing this to say how impressed I am with the utility workers with the City of Kelowna. I had a water main break on a Friday afternoon and within 15 minutes of our call to the city, we had a crew at our house. The workers put my wife at ease and promptly repaired the break which required an excavation of a hole eight feet wide by at least six feet deep. The workers were very professional as they did their job and had the leak repaired in under two hours. What started out as a stressful situation for my wife and myself was handled in a way that put us at ease. I would like to say thank you to all those involved. For me anyway, the stereotype of the surly, lazy city worker has certainly been squashed. Steve Tymkow, Kelowna

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Size You Up Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Legalization of pot called ‘step in right direction’ ing children from drugs. Decriminalization acknowledges the social reality of marijuana and frees users from criminal records. What’s really needed is a regulated market with

age controls. Separating the hard and soft drug markets is critical. The marijuana plant is relatively harmless. Marijuana prohibition is deadly.

As long as organized crime controls marijuana distribution, consumers of the most popular illicit drug will come into contact with sellers of hard drugs like cocaine, meth and heroin.

Marijuana prohibition is a gateway drug policy. Robert Sharpe, policy analyst Common Sense for Drug Policy, Washington, DC

Don’t be fooled by the size of Okanagan Lake To the editor: I was surprised at the opinions expressed by a couple of letter-writers recently regarding the use of water. Both espoused the belief those of us living in the Okanagan are free to go ahead and water our lawns, even though we live with a limited water supply. I’ve lived in this valley all my life, and I wonder if these writers are newcomers who think Okanagan Lake is always going to supply plenty of water. Because of the lake, it appears we’re in a water-rich area, but we’re not.

Did you know because we live in the rain shadow of the Coast Mountains we have the lowest amount of fresh water available per person than almost anywhere in Canada? And did you know our per person water use here is above the average of B.C. and Canada? The Okanagan Basin Water Board has done extensive studies on the finite ability of the lakes to provide for all of the needs of the rapidly growing population. The last thing we need is to encourage people to water lawns and adopt other gardening practic-

es that will lead to water shortages for agriculture. A recent letter writer expressed how he wonders why we should conserve water, when it’s constantly being cleaned and recycled by the Earth. The answer is simple. This process is slow, and now there are too many demands on our limited supply due to the population. Nature can’t replenish all that we’re using. So I ask all of us as residents of this semi-arid region to try our best to conserve our precious commodity. Research the fate of many lakes in Nevada

where overuse has begun their deaths.

Chapman is coming to KELOWNA ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-onone basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST - NOW TRY THE BEST • NO UNDERWIRES • NO ELASTIC STRAPS • NO STRAPS FALLING OFF SHOULDERS • NO RIDING UP IN THE BACK

Cancer centre gets $400,000 upgrade

Bomb threat was a hoax Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

A section of Rutland Road, from Highway 33 to Robson Road, was shut down as police investigated a bomb threat received by Interior Savings Credit Union Friday morning. By Monday morning local RCMP were calling the call a hoax. In a press release, RCMP said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apparently an unknown man called the branch and threatened to detonate a bomb that was somewhere inside the building.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;After considerable effort searching inside and out, no trace of explosives were found. After just more than three hours from the initial complaint, the building was deemed safe and the road was re-

opened,â&#x20AC;? the press release said. The bank received the threat over the telephone at around 11 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure of the legitimacy of that threat as of this point, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re investigating it as if it were a real scenario,â&#x20AC;? Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark said Friday. Neighbouring businesses, including the Salvation Army across the street, were also evacuated as a precaution, said Clark. Zod, the only bombsniffing police dog in the area, was brought in to do a sweep of the building. The canine went into the building for 20 minutes at a time to sniff out the area. According to Clark, searching for explosives is a longer process for a dog

than searching for drugs or other contraband. Twentyminute sessions are required so the dog can take breaks and remain calm. The building and the area remained evacuated until Zod and his handler had done an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extensiveâ&#x20AC;? sweep and declared the area safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve consulted with the Explosive Disposal Unit from Vancouver. If anything suspicious is found, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll certainly be attending.â&#x20AC;? Clark said Mounties are required to take any bomb complaint seriously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to act as if this is a real situation until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven otherwise.â&#x20AC;? He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly how many Mounties were on the scene Friday afternoon, but noted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this is not a legitimate

Sahai, walk toward the Interior Savings Credit Union on Rutland Road last Friday afternoon to investigate a bomb threat. complaint, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly a large expense for a hoax.â&#x20AC;? Police are now focusing their investigation towards identifying the suspect. Anyone with any information is asked to call

the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. You can also leave a tip online at www.crimestoppers.net or by text at CRIMES (274637) ktown. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

A $250,000 upgrade to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system at the Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Centre for the Southern Interior is intended to ensure patients who often spend hours receiving cancer treatment do so in maximum comfort. A complete overhaul of the air and heat control system is set to take place, with both the operating control system and individual units set to be renewed. The control system, which regulates air volumes, temperatures and air exchanges, will be replaced. Mechanical partsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;such as the building automation system panels, supply pumps, steam pressure reducing stations, air handling units and heat exchangersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will also be upgraded which will help reduce energy consumption for the facility. The upgrades are in addition to a lighting upgrade worth $150,000. This project will revamp the Okanagan Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lighting control system, allowing for customized lighting in patient areas and ensure that clinicians and nursing staff can control the intensity of light when checking in with patients. The projects will be put up for tender in October and are expected to be complete in a phased approach by June 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patients receiving cancer treatment are navigating a very difficult time in their lives and often, subtle nuances like warmth and lighting will provide a measure of comfort,â&#x20AC;? said Frank Levenheck, director facilities maintenance for the B.C. Cancer Agency.

Tireless from A1 The original concept was a call-a-thon during which Telus employees would get their friends and family to pledge money for the number of phone calls they were able to answer in an hour as both directory assistants and telephone operators. The first event raised over $10,000 for Variety—The Children’s Charity of B.C. right out of the gate. Now working with the Telus Ambassadors, she has suggested it might work well in the call centres out east. “We got to go on TV (on the Variety Club Telethon) and present a cheque. It was great PR for BC Tel and it was fun,” she said. D’Andrea was nominated for the Jubilee award by Kelowna Community Resources community services manager Dawn Wilkinson. “I so admire Laurel’s energy and amazing ability to think outside the box that nominating her for this award was a pleasure,” said Wilkinson. The medals were created to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s ascension to the throne and were given to 60,000 Canadians who showed extensive volunteerism and served their communities in exceptional ways. “By awarding the Diamond Jubilee Medal to individuals like Laurel, we are demonstrating our deep-

est appreciation for their commitment and service to strengthening volunteerism in the province,” said Lawrie Portigal, president of Volunteer BC. For her part, D’Andrea says volunteering is really about having fun. She loves the moment just before an event begins when she can stop, look around a room and realize that because of her efforts a good cause will receive money, people will be able to meet one another, have a great time and stay away from the television for an evening. “I think my advice would be to do something you enjoy as a volunteer, but don’t do something you would do in your everyday job because you will burn out,” she said. “And when you do reach that point where you’re starting to run out of steam, move on to something new. It’s all about having fun.”

Masterful final drive by rookie Sun QB Bedore Cooke Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Everything went according to the script for the underdog Okanagan Sun on the weekend as the struggling BC Football Club team went into Nanaimo to play the powerhouse Vancouver Island Raiders, the six time defending BCFC champions. That is until the final play of the game. The Sun played a near perfect road game in trying to pull off the upset, right down to a masterful final drive by rookie quarterback Cam Bedore, who brought the Sun into field goal range, down by two points and in the dying seconds. But for the second straight game in Nanaimo, a Sun kicker missed a late field goal allowing the

We had a great game and I hope we see those guys again.” Bedore finished the game 13-for-26 for 174 yards, one touchdown and one interception while Alex Bradley led the Sun on the ground with 97

Kelowna Rockets goalie Jordon Cooke has some big pads to fill in replacing Rockets recordsetting goaltender Adam Brown, who graduated to the pro hockey ranks this season. This weekend on the road in Portland, Cooke showed what he can do in helping the Rockets to its first win of the Western Hockey League season. Cooke stopped 43 of 46 shots on Saturday night as the Rockets defeated the Winterhawks 4-3 and split two games in Portland, against the sixth ranked team in the CHL.

and build on that.” With the BCFC season winding down, the Sun are tied for the final playoff position in the BCFC with the Kamloops Broncos. This weekend the Sun will take on the 0-and-8 Chilliwack Huskers while Kamloops will take on the Westshore Rebels. A Sun win combined with a Kamloops loss will secure a playoff position for the Sun, who will close the season against Langley in two weeks time. “It’s hard to get up for a game against a weaker opponent and Chilliwack unfortunately are having a real tough season,” said Lake. “We have to look at this as a warm up for Langley, get some young guys some reps, get feeling good about ourselves and build some positive energy heading into Langley.”

Bears run over Rutland The Apple Bowl was packed and the energy was flowing on Friday night as the regular season of the B.C. High School Football Association kicked off in front of an energetic crowd of high school football fans, students and athletes. When the dust settled the Mount Boucherie Bears and KSS Owls had both earned wins before home town fans at the Apple Bowl as the AAA varsity teams got into some early season action. “It was an awesome atmosphere at the Apple Bowl,” said Bears’ head coach Mike Godwin, whose team played the early game but were greeted with decorations and a large cheering section before its game against Rutland as well as a celebratory cake after its victory. “Our leadership students treated the week as homecoming week and they put up decorations and had cake after the game for our guys so it was pretty cool.” On the field the Bears

took advantage of a Rutland team that had suffered some injuries and ran to a 35-0 victory over Rutland in the first varsity game of the night. Godwin says the atmosphere sparked the Bears and gave them a shot of momentum. “The intensity was there early and our guys came our ready to play,” he said. “They were fired up. It was a little sloppy though. You are never 100 per cent satisfied.” In the second AAA game of the evening, KSS pounded out a 62-0 win over Salmon Arm setting the stage for what should be another great atmosphere this coming Friday when the Bears take on KSS at the Apple Bowl. Godwin says his team has potential to be a good club this season. “We had a tough preseason but we matched up well against some of the top teams,” he said. “Every week we are going through growing pains. It’s a long haul and we have to be able to keep our intensity up and keep improving. If we do that we have the potential to

be a really good football team.” ••• In junior varsity high school action, the OKM Huskies started the season with a thrilling win, defeating Valleyview out of Kamloops 24-21 in overtime last Thursday. OKM led 14-7 at the half before the teams exchanged points in the second half and headed to overtime with the scored knotted at 21-21. In overtime OKM kicked a field goal on their first possession before the defense forced a Valleyview fumble, ending the game. “This was an outstanding effort,” said coach Arden Knoll. “This is our first year back in the junior varsity program after a two year absence which means we are playing with 24 rookies. We still have a lot of work to do but the coaching staff is pleased with the progress of the squad so far. The focus will be n execution and intensity from here on out.” OKM plays WL Seaton at 4 p.m. on Wednesday in Vernon.

Cooke doesn’t miss a beat Rockets from A16 “You look at Jordon and he has put in his time, he’s worked very hard the last couple of years and he’s been patient,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “Now he’s got an opportunity to play a lot of games and we’re looking forward to seeing him develop.” Cooke’s importance to the team was demonstrated late in Saturday’s game with Portland. With the score tied at 3-3 and the Rockets still looking for its first win of the season, Cooke stopped Portland’s Brendan Leipsic on a breakaway. The momentum turned the other way and Zach Franko took a pass from Ryan Olsen and scored the game winning goal with about a minute to play in the game. The Rockets win on Saturday followed a tight 1-0 loss on Friday night. “We found a way to get the split and that was what we were looking for,” said Huska, who added getting the first win of the season will loosen up his players heading into another WHL week. “It’s a mental thing,” he said. “I think once you have that first one that added pressure is off and your

guys are able to focus on playing hard and having fun when they are on the ice. We want to keep building and developing and playing our style of hockey.” The Rockets (1-2-10) will host the Vancouver Giants (1-3-0-0) at Prospera Place on Wednesday before heading to Prince George for a weekend double-header. The Vancouver game will be just the second

home game for the Rockets and Huska says Vancouver has become a great rival. “Over the years they have become our biggest rival,” he said. “Everytime we play against each other the games are always good and always intense. “We have to have a hard working night, be good in our own zone and around the net and compete for a full 60 minutes.”

WEST KELOWNA WARRIORS rookie Ambrose Firkus takes a hit while letting a shot go during the Warriors

It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the West Kelowna Warriors long to flex their muscles and let the visiting Trail Smoke Eaters know they were in for a rough ride on Friday night at Royal LePage Place. Playing its only game of the weekend, the Warriors scored four goals in the first eight minutes of the first period and led 6-1 after two periods en route to a 9-2 win over Trail. The victory snapped a three game losing skid for the Warriors. The Warriors came out of the gates hard, led by its top line of captain Max French, rookie Brent Lashuk and veteran Brett

McKinnon who combined for six goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we are supposed to do on the first shift,â&#x20AC;? said McKinnon, of the lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to set the tone for the entire game. I think we did that. We came out hard and wanted to fire it up. We were excited all week. We had a great week of practice and we were fired up right from the start to get this win.â&#x20AC;? After opening the season with two wins at the new BCHL Showcase, the Warriors had dropped three straight in the regular season, two to Penticton and one to Trail.

9-2 win over Trail on Friday night at Royal LePage Place.

On Friday night the team wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be denied, outshooting the Smoke Eaters 45-14 and completely dominating the game. The game was the first of three straight between West Kelowna and Trail as the two teams will meet again tonight in Trail as the Warriors travel to Trail for a Tuesday night game. The Warriors and Smoke Eaters will meet again this Friday in West Kelowna before the Warriors play in Vernon on Saturday.

Heat men strong in third quarter The UBC Okanagan Heat used a 35-point third quarter to bring down the high flying Falcons for a 92-84 victory on Friday night in a preseason basketball game at Immaculata Regional High School. Leading scorer for the Heat last year, Yassine Ghomari torched his for-

mer squad for 19 points to lead the Heat to victory. Ghomari was a BCCAA all-star with the Falcons in 2009/10. The Heat trailed 41-34 at the half with Ghomari only tallying two points by the break. The veteran guard broke out in the third quarter and pushed the Heat into a lead half-

way through the frame that they would not relinquish, Yassine notched eight points in the third and nine in the fourth to keep the Falcons at bay. Ghomariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backcourt mate, Landry Ndayitwayeko put in for 16 points, with veteran forward Dave Mackay scoring 11 points and lead-

Rough preseason for Heat women

The UBC Okanagan women’s basketball team played two games in two nights, struggling to score in both as they fell first to Fraser Valley (79-50) on Friday and then to Trinity Western (75-59) on Saturday in the team’s first action in the CIS exhibition action this season. The Heat struggled against the Fraser Valley Cascades in a special community engagement game at G.W. Graham in Chilliwack Friday. The much larger and more experienced Cascades took advantage of the Heat, who were missing starting post Krystal Schouten, unable to dress for the team’s first two games while dealing with a lingering ankle injury. UBC Okanagan was led in scoring by newcomer Sarah Allison on Friday. The University of Calgary transfer led the balanced scoring attack of the Heat with nine points. Angela White, the third year guard from North Vancouver finished with seven points; second on the team. Head coach Heather Semeniuk was pleased with the team’s effort in their first exhibition game of the season. Semeniuk thought that other than a third period that saw the Cascades outscore the Heat by 20 (28-8), the Heat played well. Semeniuk was also pleased with how the team’s defense improved throughout the game and how the women played strong in the fourth quarter. Angela White thought the team may have been a little tight or emotional in the third quarter, and that was key to the Cascade run. “We were so passionate about winning that in the third quarter our emotions and desire to win took control,” explained White. “We were possibly forcing play both offensively and defensively in the third.” The Saturday evening tilt in Langley versus the Spartans was no easier for the Heat after the outpouring of emotions on Friday night. This lack of focus was a problem for the Heat, as the team committed numerous turnovers to a highpressure Spartans defense. Coach Semeniuk definitely noticed after the game that the team was mentally and physically fatigued from Friday and that they were “out of sync, especially (the) veterans. They stopped play-

Chiefs sit in fourth place The Kelowna Chiefs came out of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League weekend with two losses and a win and sit at 3-4-0-0 and in fourth place in the KIJHL’s Okanagan Shuswap Conference. The Chiefs opened the weekend with a 4-2 loss in Revelstoke on Friday night before bouncing back and getting into the win column on Saturday night at Rutland Arena. The Chiefs gave local fans plenty to cheer about Saturday as they shutout Penticton 4-0 to snap a three game losing skid.

Rookie goaltender Kenny Fitzgerald earned his first KIJHL career shutout while Scott Renner scored twice and Brendan Jost and Kyle Clerke added singles. On Sunday night however the Summerland Steam proved to be too much for the Chiefs at Rutland Arena. The Steam scraped by the Chiefs 3-2. Renner and Quade Hamlin had the only goals for Kelowna while Tyler O’Donnell and Fitzgerald split the loss in net. Up next for the Kelowna Chiefs is a home game against the first place Osoyoos Coyotes this Friday.

OKANAGAN SUPERBIKE racer Marcel Irnie took first place in the Open Superbike category at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington.

West Kelowna superbike racer wins at Pacific Raceways Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The 2012 superbike racing season has been good to West Kelowna’s Marcel Irnie. For the first time in his career, Irnie competed in all six rounds of the Canadian Superbike Championship and finished 10th overall in the standings. Late last month Irnie took first place in the Open Superbike category at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington. Although the West Kelowna racer has been competing on a pro level for three years in the United States, this was his first year competing in the Canadian Pro Superbike class. “Canadians are real-

ly quick,” said Irnie, noting his best finish on the Canadian circuit was an eighth-place result at the Mosport International Raceway in Ontario. Irnie partnered with Bentley Motorrad and BMW Canada this year and rode a BMW S1000RR. Throughout his superbike career, Irnie has struggled to afford the most powerful and fastest bikes. Although most of his competitors also rode BMWs this year, many were able to make modifications to the motor— an alteration Irnie predicts gave them an 18-horsepower advantage. “We still weren’t on a level playing field. There are people who have the money, the team and the

crew…and more money into the bikes.” Despite having less power under him, Irnie still managed to be competitive in the field. During the offseason, Irnie hits the gym and utilizes the local terrain to the best of his ability. “Dirt biking is my local training. “For street biking, there is no racetrack locally—I have to go down to (the U.S.). This year I went to California in May and did three weeks by myself.” The local racer, who can reach speeds of nearly 300 km/h, has also had to deal with crashes and a nagging knee injury this season. “I crashed in California on the practice trip;

that sucked because it was expensive. “I also had a big crash at nationals in Nova Scotia. I slipped over the front of the bike and landed on my back.” The Nova Scotia incident resulted in a broken rib and a “super sore” hip, but Irnie was back on the track competing two weeks later. With most of the 2012 season in Irnie’s rearview mirror, he is now looking ahead to racing in the American Motorcyclist Association pro circuit in 2013.

Women’s health issues researched The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) has recognized Jennifer Leason and Tamil Kendall of the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences at UBC Okanagan for research initiatives aimed at improving women’s health. Leason, a PhD student in Community, Culture and Global Studies, has received a three-year CIHR Doctoral Research Award of $35,000 per year to support her project Indigenous (First Nations, Metis & Inuit) Women’s Maternal Health Experiences in British Columbia. Leason’s research examines the status, access and experience of indigenous women’s maternal health in British Columbia and Canada. Focusing on the indigenous women’s perspective, Leason hopes to better understand maternity definitions and maternal health needs in pregnancy, birth and postpartum, as well as the key health determinants affecting maternal health and how priorities can be addressed. “This research is important be-

cause it documents gaps in policy, practice and services specific to Indigenous women,” said Leason, who is of Saulteaux Metis-Anishinabe decent. Her indigenous roots are from Pine Creek First Nation, Duck Bay and Camperville, Manitoba. “My research examines holistic understandings of health and incorporates indigenous theory, methods, and women’s narrative, culture and spirituality into the study of health and wellness, specific to indigenous women’s maternal and reproductive health.” Tamil Kendall, a PhD candidate in Interdisciplinary Studies, has been awarded a prestigious two-year CIHR fellowship to conduct postdoctoral work at the Harvard School of Public Health. Kendall’s research, Women’s Health Rights and Realities: Increasing Accountability for Integration of HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Mexico’s System for Social Health Protection, seeks to identify politically feasible and community-based mechanisms

for improving access to sexual and reproductive health services in Mexico for socially vulnerable women, including rural indigenous women and women with HIV. “Every day around the world 7,000 people become infected with HIV—about 3,000 women and 1,000 children through mother-tochild transmission—and 800 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth,” said Kendall. “These infections and deaths can be prevented, and doing so requires political commitment and action. My research will contribute to understanding how diverse, multilevel advocacy coalitions can improve transparency, accountability, and the effective exercise of health rights in decentralized health systems.” During her post-doctoral fellowship, Tamil will work with the internationally renowned women’s health researcher and advocate, Dr. Ana Langer, as a member of the Women and Health Initiative at the Harvard School of Public Health.

A very nice lady fed and looked after me for awhile, then a staff member cared for me until my babies were of age, and she has nothing but good things to say about me. Due to my life as an outdoor cat I can be a little defensive (quick movements scare me), and I’m not much for restraint, but I do love to interact with people. I would be a wonderful candidate for a person who would love a social, yet independent feline around the house. Surrendered stray

Mathtoons Media Inc. has secured an undisclosed amount of funding from the National Research Council of Canada’s industrial research assistance program to develop the framework for a digital math practice workbook. Mathtoons Media is an educational technology company based in Kelowna, founded by Kristin Garn in 2011. Garn has taught high school math and university calculus in B.C. and Manitoba for over 20 years. The Mathtoons creative team includes former Disney animator and illustrator Jessika Von Innereber, who has spent much of her career creating rich animation experiences for children, working for companies like Leapfrog, Disney and FisherPrice. Kelowna native Will Schneider creates the voice of Mathtoons materials and has his MFA in screenwriting from Los Angeles American Film Institute. Jay Pozo has developed software for 12 years and worked with high profile companies including Blast Radius, Electronic Arts and Disney. He has designed and built software and hardware systems for massive multiplayer online games, me-

dia hubs and various institutions. In the next quarter, Mathtoons will develop “ThUMP! The Ultimate Math Practice,” which will be a multi-platform learning and practice system, integrating elements of game play with learning and aiming to make difficult topics, like advanced algebra and calculus, much more fun to learn. Future plans are to provide this framework to other educational institutions and companies interested in creating their own engaging learning experiences using their content integrated with Mathtoon’s evaluation and performance reporting systems. “We’re excited that NRC-IRAP funding will help us develop this first framework for real 21st century teaching and learning tools,” said Garn. Working with the National Research Council of Canada has helped Mathtoons better understand their own business model, acknowledged Garn. That help has allowed the Mathtoons team to consider new opportunities for research that will eventually help to improve their products, Garn added. Discussions with an industrial technology advisor helped the de-

velopment team at Mathtoons identify important requirements for their software and also helped add more structure to the development plan, he said. Receiving NRC-IRAP funding will enable the Mathtoons team to maximize the testing and development of ideas meant to enhance the learning experience and engagement within the framework they will develop. “With NRC-IRAP funding, we can now plan efficiently to build prototypes with multiple types of content on multiple delivery platforms, which is very important in this rapidly changing world of educational technology,” he said. Mathtoons Media Inc. is currently on the Accelerate Okanagan Venture Acceleration Program. Jeff Keen, CEO of Accelerate Okanagan, said, “Kristin has built an amazing team of experienced and highly talented individuals that are building innovative and creative educational technology products that solve real problems. “We believe they have the opportunity to be game changers in this space and look forward to supporting them through the next stage of their company’s development.”

Disability gap can be a deep, costly chasm D

iscussions relating to employees’ entitlements upon termination of employment tend to focus on the reasonable working notice or pay in lieu (“severance”) aspect. Too little attention is given by employers to the issue of the value of the benefits lost as a result of the termination. The loss flows from the manner in which the employee’s benefits coverage was brought to an end. When (rather than providing reasonable working notice of termination) the employer chooses to terminate abruptly, the pitfalls relating to the cessation of benefits arise. The problems occur

YOU WORK HERE

Robert Smithson because the language of disability insurance plans generally is not consistent with employers’ common law obligations towards their employees. Disability insurance coverage usually halts immediately upon the employee ceasing to be actively employed. The employer’s common law obligations toward the employee, however, are based on the premise that the employee must be made whole for

the loss of the entire reasonable notice period. During the reasonable notice period the employee is entitled to the benefit of all the usual employment perquisites, including disability insurance. Hence, what I call the disability gap occurs—the employer should provide benefits coverage during the notice period but the insurance coverage will normally have been halted according to the terms of the insurance plan. So, if the employee becomes disabled during the notional working notice period, the disability insurance is no longer available to provide wagereplacement benefits. As a result, the employer may be held liable for any benefits payments

the employee would have enjoyed had she been given working notice. The same risk arises when the employer chooses to dismiss the employee summarily for just cause reasons. If the just cause grounds are rejected by a court, the employer will be liable for the lost benefits in the event of a disability arising during the notice period. The employer effectively steps into the shoes of the insurer for as long as the benefits payments would have been paid. Unless the employer happens to be an insurance company, this tends to be an unhappy place to be. In Ontario, a few years ago, just such an instance

arose. Alcatel Canada Ltd. was sued by a former employee, Mary Egan, for wrongful dismissal. The court found that Ms. Egan was entitled to a reasonable notice period of nine months’ duration. It also determined she had become disabled, as a result of a major depressive disorder, during the notice period. The court found that, had the employer given her the nine months’ working notice to which she had been entitled, the disability coverage still would have been in effect when she became disabled. The court confirmed “the law is clear that dismissed employees are to be kept whole throughout the entire reasonable notice period during which period employees are entitled not only to the continuation of salary but the continuation of all forms of employee benefits.” Another, more recent, Ontario court decision has confirmed the employer’s liability in these circumstances. Luis Olguin was employed by Canac Kitchens for 24 years before his

employment was terminated. He was provided with only the minimum, statutorily-required, pay in lieu of notice and his benefits were continued for eight weeks. Eighteen months later, he was diagnosed with cancer. Olguin sued for wrongful dismissal damages, including lost benefits, and won an award representing a 22 month notice period. That being the case, had he actually been provided with reasonable working notice his STD and LTD benefits coverage would still have been in place when he became ill. That coverage was, due to the method of termination, no longer in place and Olguin was awarded STD and LTD benefits through to age 65. In addition to the lost wages portion of the damages, the award for lost disability benefits totaled close to $260,000. The best way for employers to eliminate this risk of liability is to implement binding employment contracts express-

ly terminating the entitlement to benefits upon cessation of active employment. The employer may also simply provide reasonable working notice and (as required) continue all the employee’s benefits during that period. Alternatively, the employer can purchase temporary insurance to bridge the gap in coverage (such insurance, however, can be difficult to obtain and comparatively expensive to purchase). Avoiding the disability gap is one aspect of terminations which, if handled poorly, can result in significant liability for the employer. As in many aspects of employment law, it is a liability which can be eliminated through proper planning and the use of employment contracts.

BCGEU deal drops plan to privatize liquor stores Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR

The provincial government reached a tentative agreement last week with its largest employee group, as the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union has recommended acceptance of a two-year agreement with a four per cent raise. Premier Christy Clark announced the settlement Friday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, after talks broke down in the spring and the BCGEU staged a series of strikes at liquor stores and government offices around the province. BCGEU president

Darryl Walker said the government dropped its proposal to sell the Liquor Distribution Branch warehouse and delivery system, which was “huge” for the union and a step towards privatizing government liquor stores as well. “We think this is the spine of the system,” Walker said. “Without this we would perhaps have lost the whole system.” Clark said the settlement meets the government’s “cooperative gains” bargaining mandate, where savings and efficiencies cover the costs of pay increases, but offered few details. In Kelowna to open a new health sciences build-

ing at UBCO on Sept. 20, Clark told the media there was “zero” room for any increase that would be absorbed solely by taxpayers. Clark said efficiencies in department spending would have to be found to facilitate any wage increase. Walker said the 26,000-member union agreed to work with the government to reduce sick days and find new efficiencies in operations that include ministry operations, social workers, and provincial prison and court services. The union dropped its proposal to open more liquor stores on Sundays to increase revenue. Walker said that was to protect members whose distribution jobs were going to be privatized. “Now that (privatization) is gone, we think we can talk to this government and in fact the next government about what it means to build revenues, and if we can find a way to do that by opening stores, then I think it’s

Retirement concerns Student has marketing ambitions for the baby boomers Roger Knox CONTRIBUTOR

Musician. Model. Marketer. When she finishes her marketing degree from Okanagan College, Lisa Bissonnette will be able to continuing promoting herself. The 25-year-old Saskatoon native, who spends time in both Kelowna and Vernon, already does that through her own agency, Unbound Heart, which she started a couple of years ago. “I’ve been marketing myself,” said the softspoken Bissonnette. “I’ve been modeling for four years all over Canada and Europe.” She also wants to promote her blossoming singing career, aided by her video work. A singer-songwriter who lists influences from the Beatles to Michael Buble, the Spice Girls to Britney Spears, Bissonnette has had a busy summer. She filmed the video for her second song, Come To Me, at the Bar U Ranch near Predator Ridge, and also in a borrowed Mustang Boss 302 driving along the old Highway 97 above Kalamalka Lake. After that, she completed work on her third video, Between The Drops, filmed in Kelowna with help from Warner Brothers Sweden, who Bissonnette said is looking at putting money into future videos. Work on a fourth video, Let This Night Begin, is in the planning stages. “It’s been a great summer but I’m looking forward to finishing school, getting my marketing degree, make music and videos and model for another year,” said Bissonnette. “I want to market and show off the whole Okanagan region.” There will be a lot to market. Besides her looks, her voice and her videos, Bissonnette is an accomplished guitar and piano player who can perform in tEnglish, French, German, Italian, Hebrew, Latin and Spanish. t “I love performing but I need more practice,” she said. t “I want to study tFrench and hopefully go back to France (she spent time in Europe on an exchange through Okanagan College).

other musical passion: opera. “I hadn’t spoken French in 12 years and I signed up for this program

which I would get kicked out of if I was caught speaking English,” said Bissonnette. “So I signed up for singing lessons, deciding to learn some French songs, when they brought out opera. “My French wasn’t good enough to say, ‘I can’t do this,’ so by the end of the lessons, I just fell in love with it and took lessons off and on for two years.” She made her operatic debut in 2011 perfoming live at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Her love of music was instilled at an early age through her father, Sean, a deejay in Saskatchewan at hay barn dances and hoedowns. “I accompanied him sometimes,” said Bissonnette. “I would pick out tapes, hand out prizes, take requests. He’s in to jazz, blues, rock and roll.” You can check out Bissonnette’s video, Mine Tonight, with collaborator Peter Kitsch, on YouTube.

t the recent Canadian Institute of Financial Planners conference in Ottawa, the vice-president of Fidelity Investments discussed retirement realities facing baby boomers in Canada. The message was Certified Financial Planners can help baby boomers understand the key risks to retirement. Canadians over the age of 60 and 65 now receive the government pensions they contributed to over their working years. We now live longer so we will collect these pensions over a longer period of time than previous generations. There is a 50 per cent chance that at least one member of a couple both age 65 will live to age 90, and a one in four chance that at least one member will live to age 94. The good news is there is indexing of these government pensions. The not so good news is that living 25 to 30 years in retirement will cost a lot of money. Inflation can be a positive and a negative. Pensions are indexed to keep pur-

chasing power positive, but inflation can erode our purchasing power. Inflation at two per cent over a span of a 25 year retirement can erode a retiree’s purchasing Doreen power by 40 per cent. Increased inflation Smith means more dollars out of your pocket to buy groceries, pay for utilities, travel and to pay for every day costs. Inflation is a threat to retirement plans. We have an excellent medical system in Canada, probably one of the best in the world. The rich, the poor and all those in between receive medical care. Canadians need to understand what is covered with government health care plans, and if they need to purchase additional coverage. Personal health care costs may increase in the future as baby boomers pay for health care expenses. Health care is a concern for many Canadians.

Preparing for retirement

Smith from B5

Due to the low interest rate environment, many Canadians are outliving their retirement income when investing in GICâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and other low paying interest investments. With a one year GIC paying two per cent or less, and the annual mandatory RRIF withdrawal at age 72 of 7.48 per cent, the simple math will tell us, you will spend your principal quickly if you invest in GICs. Historically equities have provided long-term growth to provide needed income in retirement. A diversified portfolio that includes some growth, guaranteed income and cash will provide a hedge against inflation. Many people continue to work past the defined normal retirement age, opting to work part-time for a few years after what is considered the normal retirement age. Some people work for the social interaction with other people, while others need the income to supplement retirement pensions. How long will your retirement income last? You may need to carefully choose a sustainable withdrawal rate from your investments on a monthly or annual basis to ensure your income lasts as long as your retirement. Retirement of many decades planning for your future. According to Fidelity Canada, which has done comprehensive research on retirement in Canada, individuals who work with a certified financial planner are more financially and mentally prepared for retirement. Doreen Smith is a certified financial planner with Capri Wealth Management/Manulife Securities Investment Services Inc.

BUSINESS â&#x2013;ź FINANCE

Determine the right timing to follow the incorporation path

ncorporation can offer a number of advantages for a business. There are some tax savings due to the fact that the corporation is taxed as a separate entity and also due to tax planning. Tax planning is the structuring of allowable deductions so that the corporation can take advantage of the small business deduction and also to provide the lowest tax payable overall between corporate and personal taxes for an owner/manager. To qualify for the small business deduction you need to be a Canadian Controlled private corporation, which means that you must generate income from active business in Canada, and if you are associated with other corporations, they must not have already claimed the deduction. Personal service businesses where your main customer is one company and your services could be considered that of an employee will not qualify for the small business deduction, neither will investment companies. Other than tax savings, there are other advantages such as the possibility for more capital investment by investors.

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka People may be more likely to invest in an incorporated company without becoming liable for the debts of the company. A company has limited liability when the shareholders are only liable up to the amount of their investment in the company, unless of course they have signed personal guarantees as officers of the company which is required by most banks. Directors of the company are liable for any debts to government agencies. Is there a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; income number of when you should incorporate? If your proprietorshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxable income is above the lowest personal tax bracket and you expect that your business will continue to grow or at least stay at the same level, then I think incorporation requires some serious consideration. So if you have decided to incorporate, what

would be the best time? You can incorporate at any time of the year. You have up to 52 weeks in your first year of operation to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pick a year end date.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Your first fiscal period can be less than a full year. You should not pick a year end date without some consultation with an accountant. Here is why. If you were to pick a Jan. 31, 2012, year end date, your corporate income tax T2 return would not need to be filed for three months after your incorporation date which would be April 30, 2012, if you had taxable income. That would coincide with the personal tax season when accountants are the busiest. If you did not have any taxable income you could put off filing for six months which would be July 31, 2012. You also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be putting your year end documentation together for the accountant when it is the busiest time of the year for you but you do want to make sure that you have the cash flow when it comes time to pay your corporate taxes. Now, if you wanted to

City to hold open house forum on parkade expansion proposal The City of Kelowna will host an open house for residents to learn more about the proposal for an expansion of the library parkade downtown and the construction of a new parkade on the Memorial Arena property, between the arena and the Kelowna Heritage Museum. The open house will be held on Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall. Residents will have the opportunity to view information panels and discuss the project with city staff. The city and Interior Health are working together to move a number of Interior Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community services and programs onto Doyle Avenue. The project encourages the development of the downtown area with higher density land use and upgrades for parking. Bringing nearly 1,000 jobs into the area will also stimulate business, public transit and housing, say

city officials.The parkades will accommodate the development and provide more weekend and evening parking.

The city says the borrowing will be offset by project revenues so there is no expected impact on city property taxes.

reduce the corporate taxes payable at your year end by paying the shareholder a bonus, you could deduct that bonus in your current year end, but it would not need to be paid until 180 days after your year end. So for a Jan. 31, 2012, year end, the bonus would need to be paid by July 30, 2012, and the payroll taxes on that bonus would need to be paid by Aug. 15, 2012. All these dates fall in the same calendar period,

so you would feel the effect of that bonus on your 2012 T4 that you would file April 30, 2013. So keeping in mind that payroll follows a calendar year and corporations have the option of following a fiscal year, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at what would happen if we picked a July 31, 2012, year-end. If you have taxable income, your return would not need to be filed until Oct. 31, 2012, and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any taxable in-

come, Jan. 31 2013. If you were to pay a bonus to the shareholder, it would not be due to be payable until 180 days after the year-end, so that would make it Jan. 27, 2013, of the following year with payroll taxes on that bonus being due on Feb. 15, 2013. That means that you, as the shareholder, would not be T4â&#x20AC;&#x2122;d for that bonus until 2013 (T4s due out Feb. 28, 2014). And your personal

taxes are due to be filed April 30, 2014, so you have effectively deferred that tax on that bonus. The year-end dates that take advantage of the ability to defer taxes on bonuses are July, August, September, October and November.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen harvest thanks Vegetables play a starring role in the Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey being a fairly bland meat, you can kick up the flavour a notch in the side dishes you serve with it, including the dressing, which is delicious with a little pork sausage and apple added to it. It’s the time of year when veggies are the star. There are a huge variety of them calling out from fields and gardens all over town to “pick me!” If you’re serving a big crowd, this is the chance to serve a wide variety of fresh, local produce alongside. Make sure you include some vegetable dishes which can be assembled earlier, ready to just be put on the table at the last minute; or at least ready to be just cooked before being served. That way, you’re not running around wishing you had four hands and an extra oven just as everyone’s filing into the dining room. There are tomatoes, turnips, onions, potatoes, peppers, beets, beans, broccoli, cabbage, corn, cauliflower, cucumbers, carrots, rutabagas and squash—all ready to harvest now—so there’s no shortage of choices to serve with the bird. For more ideas of dishes to serve with turkey, pick up a copy of Jude’s Kitchen wherever books are sold. You’ll even find a terrific recipe for my favourite dressing in it. The 32nd annual Fall Okanagan Wine Festival is in full swing this week, so make an effort to get out and learn more about pairing a variety of foods with some of the many excellent B.C. VQA wines made from grapes grown in this valley. It’s a perfect opportunity to get caught up in the excitement of the grape harvest and to drop by some of your neighbourhood wineries to taste some of their offerings. For full details of the hundreds of events planned for the 10-day festival, go to: www.thewinefestivals.com or pick up a brochure at your local wine shop or liquor store. With both of these vegetable side dishes or appetizers, a good pairing would be the Ganton & Larsen Prospect Winery's Ogopogo's Lair Pinot Grigio, which is light and slightly fruity, but with a crisp, clean finish. It's also a reasonably-priced wine, that's locally made.

Zucchini Tidbits This is a delicate, crunchy way to serve zucchini as an appetizer that will have everyone eating their veggies. They’re not deepfried, so are lighter-tasting and less fatty. These are crunchy outside and creamy inside. Zucchini is so mild flavoured, there’s lots of different things you can do with it to turn it into something extraordinary, including these little snack/appetizers. zucchini freshly-ground black pepper sea salt chilli powder flour 1 egg 1 tbsp. (15 ml) water 1/2 c. (125 ml) bread crumbs 1/2 c. (125 ml) toasted sesame seeds spray of cooking oil

Pre-heat oven to 400 F. Cut zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with a mix of spices of your choice. Pepper, salt and something spicy are the best choice. Beat egg with a little water in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle zucchini with flour, then dip each piece in egg mixture, then into the fine, dry bread crumbs mixed with toasted sesame seeds and put on a rack over a cookie sheet. Lightly spray with cooking oil. These can be kept in the refrigerator for a few hours, until ready to bake, or baked right away, for about 15 or 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve with a creamy salad dressing as a dip, or create your own yogurt or sour creambased dip.

Corn Fritter Cakes Try making these with corn scraped fresh off the cob instead of using a tin of creamed corn. Just mash the kernels once you’ve removed them from the cob. The flavour is fantastic. I’m afraid the recipe for corn fritters is not what I’d advise you make if you’re serving a big bunch because they should be made at the last minute, and there are too many other things to be done then. They’re perfect when you’re serving just a few. However, you can prepare the wet and dry mixtures ahead of time, then combine them quickly and cook them at the last minute. They could be made into cakes the size of a quarter and served as a snack or an appetizer too. 14 oz. (398 ml) creamed corn 2 green onions 1 jalapeno pepper, minced 2 eggs

1/2 c. (125 ml) flour 1 tbsp. (15 ml) cornmeal 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) baking powder 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt 1/8 tsp. (.5 ml) freshly-ground black pepper butter, for frying Beat up a couple of eggs and open a can of creamed corn, or use fresh. Mince green onions and jalapeno pepper. Use just the outside, not the seeds of the pepper. Combine the eggs, corn, green onions and jalapeno. Mix the dry ingredients and add to the corn and eggs, when you’re ready to cook them. Immediately butter a non-stick or castiron frypan over medium-high heat and when it's bubbly, put spoonfuls of batter on the pan. Brown on one side, then turn, as for breakfast pancakes. Serves 4.
