Developer proposes medical services campus STAFF REPORTER

Construction on a “state-ofthe-art medical services campus” in downtown Westbank could begin as early as next summer. Rick Reece, investor, developer and agent for Investicare Seniors Housing Corporation, said he sees the need to centralize various scattered medical services to one convenient location. “Our intention is to develop a state-of-the-art medical services

campus,” said Reece. “The need within the town centre is getting to the point where we think it can support it. We think that it can be a phasedin development.” Reece said Investicare Seniors Housing Corporation is currently looking at every medical service provider that could be centralized so West Kelowna residents can avoid travelling to Kelowna for their medical needs. “They can simply go to one place and get everything done at

once.” Investicare Seniors Housing Corporation also owns The Heritage: A $37 million, 145-unit assisted living facility, which is back under construction after a hiatus caused by unfavourable economic conditions. The Heritage is scheduled to open by the summer of 2013. Reece said the medical services campus would provide convenience to all West Kelowna residents, especially those living at The Heritage.

He added there is significant public support for the project. “I think it fits in well with the redevelopment and it brings some very high-paying, stable jobs into the centre of Westbank, which contributes to the overall economy of the town centre.” West Kelowna council gave third reading to the zoning bylaw amendment related to the proposed medical facility Tuesday.

MEASURING UP…Grant Stanley, winemaker for Quails’ Gate Estate Winery in West Kelowna, peers through a refractometer

After a week of controversy over the film Donkey Love, Okanagan Film Festival organizers are still without a venue to screen films. Landmark Cinemas will not host the three-day festival planned for this weekend because the one documentary in the program, Donkey Love, examines how bestiality plays a role in Colombian culture. “I don’t have to buy her clothes. I don’t have to buy her shoes,” says one of the Colombians featured in the film’s teaser as he explains why he’s opted for donkey sex over the love of a fellow human being. This perspective has not been received well in Kelowna, or many other communities around the world. The references to bestiality have trumped the film’s underlying inquisitive, if humorous, tone and generated reams of media coverage. This week, a group of unnamed students at UBC Okanagan nevertheless fought to ensure the show would go on—though to no avail. On Tuesday, they toured festival organizer Jeremy Heynen around two possible theatre locations on campus with an eye to developing a by-invitation-only event before Friday. “It will make things more intimate,” said Heynen. “So it might be like the filmmakers, our guests and then by invitation to keep the censors off our backs.” But by Wednesday evening UBCO confirmed it had received a formal request for space and had declined the application as the institution did not have enough time to set up the backdrop to help. “Due to the short notice, the Okanagan Film Festival’s request to use the ADM 026 Theatre…has not been granted, as it does not allow sufficient time to arrange the campus support services including security, facilities, custodial and parking staff,” said a statement released at 5 p.m. Wednesday. As such, 30 other filmmakers are set to arrive to an event without a venue, unless Heynen can find a solution.

Wengenmayr trial resumes after hiatus Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The Kelowna man who’s on trial facing charges related to impaired driving and the death of a six-year-old boy, may soon get a roadmap of his future. Lawyers started closing statements in Cody Richard Wengenmayr’s trial Wednesday, following an unexpected two-week hiatus. Crown counsel Dave Ruse is contending that the evidence submitted during the trial points to the fact that Wengenmayr was impaired, and that’s why he drove into Trey Alphonse and his mother Iris when they were jay-walking across Harvey Avenue late one night, more than two years ago. “There’s no doubt that Iris Alphonse put her and her son in harm’s way when she chose to cross the highway,” he said, noting that drivers shouldn’t expect that kind of pedestrian behaviour. But, he added, there’s an expectation that drivers react accordingly when it’s required, especially if there’s ample time to do so. Two other drivers on the road that night, for example, testified they saw Iris Alphonse running across the road holding the hand of her son, as he dragged a scooter behind him. “This is not a case where she struck out in front of traffic from between two parked cars,” he said “In this case, others saw her and Wengenmayr didn’t…His inability to see was because of impairment.” Ruse went on to highlight evidence that he said showed Wengenmayr was impaired when he took to the road that night. Although nobody can account for what happened before \Wengenmayr met up with two friends that night, his passenger at the time of the crash said he only remembered seeing his friend drink four to five beers between 5 p.m., and after 8 p.m. Then, he said, Wengenmayr stopped drinking. It wasn’t until just after 10 p.m., that Wengenmayr had his fatal encounter with the Alphonses. He pulled over in a nearby parking lot shortly thereafter and wasn’t witnessed drinking at that point either, although he did have a half-empty beer can in his car. Ruse then pointed out that Wengenmayr was offered two breathalyzer tests that night that showed he had a higher blood alcohol content than acceptable. The first one was at 12:19 a.m. and the other at 12:39 a.m., both of which were more than two hours after the collision. The figures collected then, combined with standard equations used to measure the rate of alcohol burn-off indicate that Wengenmayr’s blood alcohol would have been over .11 at the time of impact. The defence had yet to put forward their closing arguments at press deadline, although they’ve previously questioned the impairment test and subsequent blood alcohol analyses. In particular, they’ve noted that Wengenmayr’s blood alcohol level could have been skewed by any number of conditions, among which would be drinking a beer after the crash. Iris Alphonse broke her leg in the collision. She has since moved away from Kelowna and has not been seen during the trial. The trial continues Friday.

THE ELLIS STREET intersection at Bernard Avenue in downtown Kelowna is the first to re-open since the start of the $14.5-million street upgrade project last month.

Bernard street revitalization project completes first intersection revamping Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The city re-opened the Ellis Street intersection Wednesday afternoon at Bernard Avenue in downtown Kelowna—including the section from Ellis to just west of St. Paul Street. The intersection, part of the city’s $14.5-million revitalization of Bernard Avenue, is the first to re-open since work started

on the multi-phase project last month. According to City Hall, the utility replacement for the first phase of the Bernard Avenue revitalization is now complete, with sidewalks and landscaping works to continue. Minor traffic interruptions are still expected in the section from Ellis to St. Paul to accommodate water tie-ins. Final streetscaping

from St. Paul to Ellis is scheduled to be part of phase three work, which will start in the fall of 2013. Remaining work includes installation of lighting, sidewalks and landscaping from St. Paul to Richter streets and that is expected to be completed early December. As a result of the reopening, the truck route will be reinstated on Ellis Street.

Access to businesses, walkways and sidewalks is a priority, says the city, and pedestrian crossings at St. Paul and Richter are permitted when safety and traffic personnel are present to assist. The Ellis to Richter section of the Bernard Aven ue project is the first. Work will shut down over Christmas this year and restart next spring. It will then shut down over the summer of 2013 and re-

start in the fall of that year. The project will be substantially complete by the winter of 2013, with finishing work, such as landscaping, completed in the spring of 2014. Meanwhile, all transit routes into and out of the Queensway transit station will continue as usual, with minor downtown routing adjustments.

Coroner says hunter’s demise a tragic accident The recent death of a Lake Country hunter was accidental. The body of Tracy De Montezuma, 52, was found in the Wilma Lake area Oct. 4. He had been missing since Sept. 29. “He took his rifle and was scouting the

area for hunting with some friends,” said Barb McLintock, with the B.C. Coroners Service. “It looks like he was trying to get over some windfall (dead trees) when the gun accidentally went off.” De Montezuma was wounded in the torso.

“We are still in the preliminary stage of the investigation,” said McLintock. A five-day search for De Montezuma involved nine search crews from across the Interior, including Vernon.

OKANAGAN Film Festival organizer Jeremy Heynen is looking for a new venue after a controversial documentary in the program has raised questions in Kelowna.

Festival homeless Kelowna’s largest selection of Crocs

Festival from A1 “I believe that the people who see these films are going to go out and brag about them and when there’s a demand, we’ll set up a public screening,” Heynen added. The OFF derailed last week when the list of films to be shown was released and media noticed Donkey Love in the lineup. Though the fledgling festival had received very little coverage leading up to the event, Donkey Love has been a flashpoint for controversy in other jurisdictions and it did not take long to raise eyebrows and generate calls to local talk radio. Heynen says he has been in constant contact with the filmmakers in the days since and believes they are of two minds. On one hand, the discussion generated by the film accomplishes exactly what any good documentary should strive for; but on the other, it is getting very difficult for them to constantly defend. And at this point, Heynen is very concerned that the one documentary’s reputation will usurp the entire event. “What these filmmakers are able to do in five to 10 minutes moves and affects and just leads you to think for yourself, and yet, all of this gets brushed aside,” he said. For the record, Heynen says he normally can’t stand documentaries because they push a perspective. This one kept him riveted, made him ask questions, but didn’t leave him with an answer. “I honestly think it’s one of the best documentaries we had submitted,” he said.

Memorable vintage of wine forecast for fall grape harvest Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Judging by the grapes that are arriving to be crushed, the 2012 vintage of Okanagan wine could go down in history as a remarkable one. That’s the consensus of winemakers who are taste-testing those grapes in vineyards up and down the valley now to determine whether they are at the optimum stage to pick. With the hot, dry summer extended into fall this year, growers and winemakers are waxing poetic about the grape harvest this year. “It’s a dream harvest,” commented Grant Stanley, winemaker at Quails’ Gate Estate Winery in West Kelowna. “These are the lowest bunch rates ever, with

very intense flavours in small berries,” he said. The cool nights are helping the acids hold their own, yet hot sunny days are bringing on the ripening every day, he said. The right balance of sugars and acids are critical to bringing complex flavours to wine. “It’s just outstanding. It makes my work much more pleasurable,” he added. Some years, adverse weather has meant many varieties of grapes had to be picked as soon as possible, telescoping the season, but this year, the harvest had been spread out over many weeks, with no pressure to get a particular variety picked as soon as possible, he said. George Heiss, founder of Gray Monk Estate Winery in Lake Coun-

try agreed, commenting, “It’s an absolutely fantastic harvest. “I’m looking forward to tasting the first wines from this vintage. The grapes have pronounced flavours,” he added. “I’m smiling from ear to ear.” Although June was very wet and spring was delayed, the extended hot, dry summer weather allowed fruit to get caught up. “It’s a nice time of year, harvest. You work hard all year for this,” he said. Gray Monk’s Heiss family is celebrating its 40th anniversary since planting the first grapes in its lakeview vineyard, and he can recall some years when the quality of the grapes wasn’t nearly like it is this fall. “It’s a picture-perfect harvest,” agrees Leo Ge-

bert, founder of St. Hubertus Estate Winery, who laughed as he pointed out that it’s been so dry the past few months that a forecast of rain is now news. He’s been picking grapes in the Mission area of Kelowna for 28 years, and says this year is one of the best. “There are particularly good flavour components in the grapes, and the sun is still shining and the leaves are still green, so it’s only getting better,” he commented. “They’re top notch grapes. It’s ideal, and it’s a good sized crop this year too,” he said. Although some vineyards in the south part of the valley have had some frost, those in the Kelowna area are mostly still free of damage.

F i n e C a bi n e t r y Westwood is launching a cabinet re-facing program WHAT DOES RE-FACING DO FOR A CUSTOMER

With extremely dry weather the past three months, even some native trees are feeling the stress of going without water for so long. Although selections of street trees planted along boulevards by the City of Kelowna are as drought tolerant as possible, urban forest technician Blair Stewart says it is up to homeowners to provide a bit of water to the tree that is growing in front of their homes. “We ask that people keep them watered when it’s particularly dry,” said Stewart. There is a water truck that goes around to help ensure some trees in city landscaping are kept adequately watered, but it doesn’t get to all of them. Not only has it been particularly dry, but for this time of year, it’s also still pretty hot during the day, which adds even more stress to trees. Trees under three years of age, are particularly vulnerable to such stresses, as are the five to 10 year tree age bracket that are still trying to get established.

Rattling the food chain

he massive and unprecedented recall of beef that emerged from a Brooks, Alta., processing plant should cause people to pause and think about the food chain, and how demands for low consumer prices may have a longterm effect that goes far beyond this recall. The way that meat goes from farm to the table has changed dramatically in the past 50 years. There used to be many more slaughterhouses or killing plants

than there are today. There were several in B.C., including what was once called Pacific Meats and later Intercontinental Packers, in south Vancouver. There were also many small slaughterhouses. B.C. farmers and ranchers produce a large supply of cattle for the meat market each year. But for the most part, they are now shipped off to huge feed lots on the prairies for a final fattening up before being butchered. A few farmers and ranch-

ers raise some cattle to full size and sell meat to customers or specialty butcher shops directly. In virtually all cases, this meat is more expensive—but it comes with the assurance that the final consumer knows just where the meat originated and how it has been handled. Almost every large grocery retailer buys beef from a handful of huge plants, such as the Brooks facility. It has been estimated that up to 40 per cent of the beef sold in B.C. comes from

250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575

that plant. That’s why the recall list is such a long one. Grocery chains today have to offer low prices to get customers in the door, and meat prices are among the most closelywatched. A push for low prices and efficiencies isn’t a bad thing, but it should never be at the expense of good health. Hopefully, out of all this will come a demand by meat eaters for better information about the food they eat.

y recent column on skills training gave short shrift to the NDP position: Tax the banks and hand out grants for women’s studies, sociology and other worthless pursuits, while skilled jobs go begging. That’s a pretty crude caricature, so I sat down with NDP leader Adrian Dix in his legislature office last week to get a better sense of his thinking on the subject. Dix has been devoting a lot of time lately to skills training, in trades particularly. He meets frequently with business people now, and his recent speeches emphasize that every one of them talks about the growing shortage of skilled employees.

Dix credits Premier Christy Clark and jobs minister Pat Bell with making some good moves recently, announcing equipment upgrades for vocational programs around the province. He says it’s because the NDP have been Tom “pounding away at them for eight Fletcher months” about freezing advanced education spending in their March budget. Dix calls that a crucial mistake and predicts the government will reverse it soon. “So I think, if we’re going to have a mission for four years as a government, if we’re elected, this is the mission: To start to address the skills shortage,” he told me. In his speech to the recent municipal convention, and again at an NDP provincial coun-

VICTORIA VIEWS

cil meeting, Dix zeroed in on B.C.’s apprenticeship system. Since the B.C. Liberals took it from trade unions and set up a Crown corporation called the Industry Training Authority in 2004, the completion rate for apprentices has fallen to 37 per cent, he said. Dix assured me he isn’t proposing to “blow up” the ITA, or hand control back to unions. They will have “a voice,” along with business. Speaking to the NDP executive, Dix referred to Phil Hochstein, president of the non-union Independent Contractors and Businesses’ Association, as the symbol of trades training decline. Not surprisingly, Hochstein has a different take. The 37 per cent figure is misleading, Hochstein said, because under the ITA there are currently 32,000 apprentices in the system, twice as many as when it was union controlled. Many drop out in the first year, and Alberta

claims a better completion rate because they don’t start counting until the second year. And when Dix touts Alberta’s “mandatory” trade system, Hochstein said he means returning to a system where all work is restricted to journeymen or registered apprentices of that trade. The marketplace has spoken on that restrictive system, he said, and unionized construction is down to about five per cent of the market, based on payroll. Dix agreed with me that the public school system has over-emphasized university, to the detriment of not just industrial trades but lab techs, chefs and other skilled workers that are in short supply. And would NDP student grants be targeted to need? Dix’s answer was a definite maybe. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS

Organic food criticism needs scientific backing

To the editor: Re: Heidi Osterman’s letter: Stanford Study Slams The Organic Food Industry, Sept. 25 Capital News. In her letter, Heidi said, “Sadly, where big money flows corruption soon follows. I agree that all consumers should be wary of organic food from China.” I am disappointed that Heidi did not provide fur-

ther evidence to back up her statements. Although these claims seem like rumour without proof to me, they do generate fear in me. I ask myself: Have I been eating the wrong food? The statements made by Heidi Osterman, a certified nutritionist, would affect not only the general consumers, but also food stores and retailers that sell

organic food from China. I call on Heidi to present her evidence, including unbiased and credible studies, that would back up her statements. I am a common everday Canadian consumer who has little professional knowledge on nutrition. I assume all food, labelled with “certified organic” and sold in a Canadian retail store, has

passed standards set forth by a North American food inspection agency or the like. After reading “Sadly, where big money flows corruption soon follows,” I have the impression that untruthfulness has occurred somewhere between food production to retail sales. Eventually, Canadian consumers are misinformed and cheated. I

call on Heidi again to inform us which food agencies are reliable and trustworthy. Should we be wary of organic food produced in other countries as well? I urge Heidi to share more professionally insightful information with all of us. Henry Tam, Kelowna

Public deserve balanced review of utility sale To the editor: I’m surprised the impending “sale” of our power to FortisBC isn’t generating more scrutiny. I’m used to Kelowna’s political apathy, but after attending anti-smart meter activist Jerry Flynn’s talk, and doing my own research on the long-term consumer costs of privatized utilities, I can’t fathom why the health and financial risks of Fortis’ takeover haven’t rallied Kelowna’s healthconscious, fiscally-conservative majority to fight this sale. A pamphlet recently mailed to us by former Fortis board member Walter Gray promises this deal is “win win,” yet it failed to mention that we have the option to publicly

review this deal via a public referendum if just 10 per cent of us express our desire to do so by Oct. 26, via a form found on the city’s own website. Perhaps a referendum will produce information that will convince even me that dear Fortis has our best interests at heart. Or perhaps Mr. Flynn and his supporters will be given a chance to discuss the long-term dangers (medical and financial) of the technologies Fortis advocates. During the last election, Mayor Gray and his 4-Change cohorts repeatedly assured us that “time is money,” yet I think it’s time we ask, “Whose money?” and “Is this cliché true?” It supposes that time

is running out, and money grows exponentially, yet if this were true money would be distributed evenly by now, which despite our ideological differences we all know isn’t true. Time, however, consistently persists. The decisions one generation makes permanently affects those that follow, whether you believe this timeline could end with the Lord’s return tomorrow, or whether you expect human life to continue as long as our ecosystem can support it. For me, the quality of life I spend with my loved ones is worth far more than the few bucks I might save on my bills by allowing corporations to install disease causing, unregulated devises in my

home. Handing over full control of public services to a corporation, without public review only serves those whose bottom line is money. Smart Meters are only one facet of this issue. Without thoughtful, balanced public review, there might be other cons, and pros, which haven’t even been discussed. Why is our council, a group of people we elected to represent our best interests, in such a hurry to fast track this deal? Mr. Flynn has offered to share his knowledge free of charge, but not one council member can afford him their time. The only time running out is their time in office, and our time to delay

this deal before one of our most essential services is taken out of our hands for good. Penticton and Summerland both turned down Fortis’ offer. There are more of us here, so why do we care less? You can download the form at this complicated URL: http://www. kelowna.ca/CityPage/ Docs/PDFs//City per cent20Clerk/Kelowna per cent20Fortis per cent20AAP per cent20Elector per cent20Response.doc. pdf. Take five minutes and fill it out, so we can define what “win-win” means for ourselves, Kelowna. Amanda Poon, Kelowna

FortisBC can keep hands off analog meter To the editor: Regarding No Smart Meters Here Yet, Oct. 5 Capital News. Neal Pobran, corporate communications advisor for FortisBC, in the second paragraph of his letter, stated that FortisBC has not installed smart meters or advanced meters in Kelowna or surrounding areas. This simply isn’t true. I have witnessed them in my mobile home park for the last two weeks. My partner was home on Monday and said he was told my by the man with the Fortis truck that they were here to install the meters, and my boyfriend told them not to install it at our address, as we did not want it. I attended a presentation, Thursday evening at the Mary Irwin Theatre, where we listened to speaker Jerry Flynn, a retired Canadian Armed Forces captain, speak for two hours on the dangers of smart meters and advanced meters, how they

work and our rights to refuse it; how these meters impact our health, safety, security and our pocketbook. It was very informative. There were many testimonies of people who stated they already had a meter installed, and what can we do to get it removed, how to stop Fortis from trespassing on our property, etc. There is a petition being signed by citizens of B.C. calling for a moratorium on the FortisBC Inc. Wireless Smart Meter Program here in B.C. FortisBC is also aware that on May 31, 2011 the World Health Organization classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as a Class 2B possible human carcinogen, and has called for further investigation.

metersbc.ca www.emrabc.ca. Mr. Pobran, you said that Fortis does replace meters periodically for Measurement Canada compliance, but you know that that’s not what is going on in our communities right now, so why pretend otherwise? Fortis will face opposition to these smart meters and the fact that they are being forced on us, without a public vote or option, to opt out before installation, in some cases. Even when flouride was added to the water in Calgary, where I was living at the time, 800,000 people had the opportunity to vote, as it too, is also a health issue. We lost by a very slim margin, but we still had a vote on it, and so it should be with smart meters here in B.C. We are human beings and we have rights. When I came home from the presentation a FortisBC truck passed me on the way into the park at quarter past ten at night, and from just hearing testimony on the

deviousness of these installers showing up again, two or three days later to try and get their 10 minutes alone with my meter, knowing that it’s already been declined, caused me to wonder whether, perhaps, they are installing by flashlight at night, on properties that have said no to the meter? We need to put the interests and concerns of B.C. citizens first, before profit, because one in four

people will get sick, and that’s a much higher cost to pay for anything. That is a whole other issue, but think about it. This new meter is called “smart,” but there is nothing smart about it, and absolutely no positive advantage to those forced to have it. So just leave my $50 analogue meter alone. Anita Erisman, West Kelowna

New international arrivals facility unveiled for Kelowna airport Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

DOUG FARROW/CAPITAL NEWS

KELOWNA AIRPORT manager Sam Samaddar speaks at the opening Wednesday

of the new international arrivals hall for passengers.

Starting next month, passengers arriving at Kelowna’s airport from the U.S. and Mexico should sail through customs, pick up their bags and be on their way a whole lot quicker. Thanks to the airport’s latest addition, a new 600square-metre international arrivals hall, most passengers arriving from across the border can expect to cut their waiting time at YLW by as much as 30 minutes, says airport director Sam Samaddar. The airport showed off its new international arrivals hall Wednesday, a facility that will open for use next month. “Now you will arrive, be interviewed by a

customs officer and your bags will be waiting for you when you’re done,” said Samaddar. Currently passengers have to wait for their bags before talking to a customs officer and that wait can be 20 to 30 minutes. Samaddar said the airport has come a long way from the days when passengers arriving on planes from warmer locations had to shiver on the tarmac. They had to wait outside the terminal before going inside the cramped arrivals area, pick up their bags and talk to a customs officers who operated from podiums that the airport wheeled around the facility. “And that was only in 1992,” he said. “We’ve come a long way and this facility proves that.”

The new international arrivals hall, which will be controlled by the Canadian Border Services Agency, has been added as part of the airport’s overall preparations for handling an estimated total of 1.6 million passengers per year starting in 2015. The addition completes the $11.3 million first phase of the $50 million, multi-phase, multiyear project. The work is being paid for by money raised through the airport’s improvement fee. Despite the fact it is owned and operated by the city, the facility does not use taxpayer money to pay for its operations or improvements, said Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray. The second phase, to begin next year, will improve the airport’s international outbound baggage system to conform to U.S. standards. It will allow passengers to pick up bags from Kelowna to be checked through to their final U.S. destinations on connecting flights using Seattle or, as of December, Los Angeles, will cost $22 million. The arrivals hall will have enough space to process up to 250 passengers. It will streamline the passenger processing experience by allowing the traveller to complete the customs processing pri-

or to retrieving their baggage, resulting in a more efficient and quicker customs experience, said Samaddar. The airport, which saw 1.4 million passenger pass through its terminal last year, and was the 10th busiest airport in the country, included 79,000 arriving passengers from outside Canada. Alan Profili, operations chief at YLW for the Canadian Border Security Agency, said the CBSA will have four customs agents on duty in future during busy times, instead of just two now. The new arrivals hall has also been built with energy conservation in mind. As part of the overall plan for reducing the airport’s greenhouse gas output by 60 per cent despite doubling the size of the airport terminal by 2015, the new addition has several energy saving measures built in. The most visible is a special rammed earth wall that not only acts as an architectural highlight but also has an energy massing capability that helps keep the hall warm at night and cool during the day. The floor uses radiant heat technology, the lights are LED and are set to dim as sunlight through a row of east-facing windows lights up the room. Testing of the hall will start on international inbound passengers for selected flights next week and it is expected to be complete next month as the winter schedule begins. Flights from Mexico, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, in addition to the year-round service from Seattle and Los Angeles (starting Dec. 19), will all be processed through the new facility.

Foerster to make bail application Kathy Michaels

▼ WEATHER

The extended summer warmth is ending Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

STAFF REPORTER

Slain Armstrong teen Taylor van Diest’s friends and family got their first view of her accused killer during a brief court proceeding. Matthew Stephen Foerster, who is charged with van Diest’s murder, appeared in court Wednesday for the lead-up to a bail application for three charges he’s facing. Vancouver defence lawyer Don Morrison has also said that when the proceeding unfolds Thursday, Foerster intends to waive his right to a preliminary inquiry on the murder charge, and make an application to hold the trial outside of Kamloops or Kelowna during that appearance. Foerster, 26, was arrested in Collingwood, Ont., five months after the death of van Diest. Friends and family had found the 18-year-old on Halloween night 2011, beaten by the railroad tracks that go through the small North Okanagan town. She later died in hospital of head injuries. The other two charges are from more than five years ago. Foerster is accused of attacking a sex-trade worker at the Garden of Eden Escort Agency in Kelowna in April 2005. From that he faces charges of sexual assault with a weapon and confinement. And, he’s charged in connection with a home invasion in Cherryville in late 2004. He’s elected to have a trial by judge for these charges.

In the past 12 weeks there’s only been 5.3 mm of rain—barely enough to measure. But, that’s all coming to an end. Today is the last of the sunny, hot days that have been a feature of August, September and the first part of October, with that high pressure system breaking down, and typical showery autumn weather moving in. Meteorologist Doug Lundquist from Environment Canada’s weather services office in Kelowna says normal rainfall for August is 33.6 mm, while we got only 2.4 mm, and normal rainfall for September is 32.7 mm, compared to the 2.9 mm measured here. Both featured the

second lowest amount of precipitation for as long as records have been kept, with the August rainfall amount tied with 2003, second only to 1998’s 0.4 mm. September’s record was set in 1991 when 0.7 mm of rain fell. “It’s certainly uncharacteristic to have two second place dry months in a row,” conceded Lundquist, but he couldn’t say whether we set a new record. A new record high daytime temperature was set Sept. 20, with 27.2 C, puting the 1999 temperature of 26.8 C into second place,. The previous day, the temperature tied for the record set in 1991 of 27.7 C. The last significant rainfall was July 22, but June was one of the wettest on record, with more than 100 mm of rain, and it featured widespread flooding near Okanagan Lake and along local tributaries. Daytime highs such as we’ve been experiencing in October are unusual, but set no records

and overnight temperatures have been cooler than normal. Beginning Friday, daytime temperatures will

begin to drop, and overnight temperatures will go up, as showers move through the area, Lundquist forecast.

Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Both residents and conservation officers are frustrated by continuing problems with bears in the West Kelowna Estates area. CO Terry Myroniuk says residents must take responsibility for removing attractants so the bears aren’t brought into the area. It’s an established neighbourhood where there are a lot of backyard nut and fruit trees, which is creating some of the problem, he noted. “Bears die because people are lazy. Some of them just don’t care. They feel they have a right to their fruit trees. Some believe the bears don’t have a right to be there,” he commented. “They need to question whether a bear’s life is worth the nuts that some of them don’t even harvest for themselves,” he added.

Garbage management is another problem, he said. Some residents store their garbage at the curb even though it’s being knocked over every night and spread around by hungry bears, he said. Even recycling is garbage to a bear and it’s being spread around when people leave their carts out, he said. Garbage must be stored inside until the morning of the garbage pickup day, he said. It’s a seasonal problem caused because the bears know there is food to be picked there, so they come in to take advantage of that, in order to fatten up for winter hibernation. “They’re only there for the food,” he said. Although a trap has been set in the neighbourhood for the past while, none of the bears are attracted to it because there are lots of other options, he said. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna Fire Department came to the aid of a stranded hiker early Tuesday evening on Black Knight Mountain east of Rutland. Upon arrival, firefighters could see the hiker’s light on the face of the mountain. An initial crew of six were on scene to locate and assess the condition of the female as weather conditions at the time were clear and cold. An additional four technical rescuers were sent to the scene to assist with the extraction of the hiker. The rescue team lowered one member to the female hiker to assess her condition. The hiker was then put into a climbing harness and was pulled up to a safe area with the rest of the rescuers. She was then walked down off the mountain. While very cold and tired, the hiker did not suffer any injuries The KFD urges all outdoor enthusiasts to always let someone know where you will be going and dress for the elements.

Community turns out again to help the United Way STRAIGHT FROM DEHART

Maxine DeHart

This week’s column is dedicated to Dan (Blackie) Code, who passed away Sept. 29. I will miss seeing him in the same seat every Sunday morning for breakfast at Mickie’s Pub with all his friends. Personal condolences to his family and many enthusiastic motor cycle friends.

hanks a million Kelowna! You did it again. In just over three hours, we raised more than $37,000—and the donations are still coming in—for the 15th annual Maxine DeHart, United Way-Ramada Hotel Drive-Thru Breakfast. My personal thanks to all the sponsors, RCMP traffic section, auxiliary constables, City of Kelowna bylaw officers, volunteers, media, mascots, and everyone else who helped make this event a huge success. The tremendous amount of support from you, the community, is nothing less than overwhelming. Thanks to all the Ramada staff including conference manager Sergio Cunial, maintenance manager Doug Mills and his staff, banquet manager Cindy Atkinson and the banquet staff, senior bellman Bryan Miller and the bell staff and general manager Stan Martindale. Special thanks to Erwin Egert, of Carts Plus, for the use of a golf cart each year and especially this year with my right arm in a sling. It was truly a life-saver. And thanks as well to Dave MacLean, of MacLean Group. All sponsors and contributing businesses will be formally thanked and listed in a special Thank You in the Capital News. All money raised will stay right here in our community to help the agencies of the United Way. Congratulations to the following grand prize winners: Rolli Cacchioni, trip to Vancouver for

two with overnight stay at the Best West Sands (sponsored by Thom & Associates); Tom Taylor, WestJet flight (sponsored by WestJet); Jolene Meyer, leather office chair (sponsored by Heritage Office Furnishings); Eve Gabor, $500 shopping spree (sponsored by Rutland and Glenmore MarketPlace IGA); Shelley Van Dulken, Samsung Galaxy II Tablet (sponsored by Progressive Waster/BFI Canada); Elizabeth Alston, $150 gift certificate for window washing (sponsored by Sun Valley Window Cleaners); Paul Orbeck, seven nights stay for two at ESJ Towers in San Juan, Puerto Rico (sponsored by ESJ Towers and Terry Balfour, a former Kelowna resident); Silyna Lavergne, Kobo VOX eReader (sponsored by RPX Logistics-Neil Saunders); Lorraine Cameron, gift basket (sponsored by Webber Naturals and London Drugs); Brenda Campbell, gift basket (sponsored by Sleep Country); Kaleb Emond, Sue Paull, Beryl Froehler and Jennifer Marte, cameras (sponsored by Okanagan Strata Management).

Knights 2nd, Owls 3rd Swede settling in with Rockets at Heat volleyball tourney Warren Henderson

The defending B.C. A girls champs were in fine form at 2012 edition of the UBC Okanagan Heat Senior Girls Volleyball Tournament. The Kelowna Christian Knights took second place overall at the 40team event held last weekend at the Kelowna campus. KCS reached Saturday’s final where they went down to defeat 2-0 (25-19, 25-19) to Elphinstone Secondary (Gibsons).

STAFF REPORTER

Even before he was chosen by the Kelowna Rockets in June, Henrik Nyberg was reasonably sure he wanted to cross the Atlantic for the next step in his hockey career.

‘‘

(BACKLUND) SAID GOOD THINGS ABOUT RYAN HUSKA AND THE HAMILTONS… AND WHAT A NICE PLACE (KELOWNA) WAS. I KNEW THEN I WANTED TO COME.

Then, after discussing his options with fellow Swede and former Rocket Mikael Backlund, the Stockholm native was 100 per cent sold on hockey in the Okanagan. “I talked to (Backlund) after the draft, he played here before and he told me a lot of good things about the team and the organization,” said the amiable Nyberg, who the Rockets chose 62nd overall in the 2012 CHL Import Draft. “He said good things about Ryan Huska and the Hamiltons…and what a nice place (Kelowna) was. I knew then I wanted to come.” Referred to as ‘Hank’ by his new teammates, the 6-foot, 188-pound Nyberg is a smooth skating, power forward who has been quick to develop some chemistry with linemates Ryan Olsen and Zach Franko.

The Knights advanced to the championship thanks to a hard-fought three-set win (25-22, 2527, over Kalamalka in the semifinals. The defending AAAA provincial champion Kelowna Owls took third place overall. KSS defeated Kal 2-1 (25-14, 19-25, 15-8) in the third/fourth place match. The Owls lost to Elphinstone in the semifinals. The Immaculata Mustangs tied for 15th overall.

The Rutland Voodoos also had a sold tournament, defeating Prince George 2-0 to take third place in the Blue Division (17th to 32nd). UBC Okanagan head coach Steve Manuel was impressed with the level of local talent at the annual tourney. “This event showed the depth of talent in the Okanagan right now,” said Manuel. “With three of the top four teams be-

SWEDISH forward Henrik Nyberg is finding chemistry with his Kelowna Rockets linemates Ryan Olsen and Zach Franko. Like most Europeans who play in North America for the first time, the pace of the game has been among the most challenging adjustments for the 18-year-old Swede. “In Sweden there are bigger rinks there, so you have a lot more time,” said Nyberg, who had a goal and two assists in his first seven games with the Rockets. “Here you have to be faster when you get the puck and always have a plan for where you’re going to pass or shoot. I think it will take some time, but I think I’m kind of into it now. It’s getting better.” Head coach Ryan Huska, who has seen his share of Europeans come

and go in his 11 seasons on the Rockets’ staff, expects Nyberg to improve and progress as he learns the Canadian junior game. “I think Henrik’s done well,” Huska said. “He skates very well, we want him to be able to create energy with his skating ability so he’s always moving his feet and always working. I think Henrik’s challenge now is to find a little more composure with the puck and not feel like he has to give it up all the time because he does have a good skill set.” One other eye-opener for Nyberg since moving to Kelowna has been the attention focused on junior hockey in Cana-

da compared to his junior team back in Stockholm. In Sweden, Nyberg was accustomed to playing in front of sparse crowds of 200 to 300 fans. “A big difference is the fans, to come out and see that many watching our games is really good,” he said. “To play in this arena is huge, to see 5,000 (fans) is huge. It’s been a big change, a good change.”

ROCKET SHOTS… The Rockets will visit the Victoria Royals for two games this weekend, Friday and Saturday nights…Kelowna’s next home action is Thursday, Oct. 18 against the Prince George Cougars.

▼ CURLING

Scott makes semis at World Curling Tour event in Calgary Kelowna’s Kelly Scott looks to be rounding into form early in the 2012-12 curling season. The local rink made it as far as the semifinals last weekend at one of the World Curling Tour’s toughest events, the Autumn Gold Classic in Calgary.

After qualifying out of the C event, Scott, third Jeanna Schraeder, second Sasha Carter, and new lead Sarah Wazney defeated Mississauga’s Cathy Auld 8-3 in the quarterfinals. In the semis, Scott dropped a 9-6 extra-end decision to eventual champion Sherry Middaugh.

The Scott rink, which hasn’t had a lot of practise time early in the season due to lack of ice availability, picked up $7,000 for its efforts. The five-time B.C. champion skip and her rink were pleased with the way they competed against some of the coun-

try’s other top rinks. “We went the long and hard route in Calgary to qualify for the playoff round but got in nine great games,” said Scott. “We played some solid teams like Homan, Middaugh, Sonnenberg, Nedohin, Jones which is great to see how we meas-

ure up so early in the season.” As for the revised lineup on her new rink, Scott is encouraged by the chemistry which is already developing. “We are really pleased with how our team is gelling together,” Scott said. “There is a huge com-

fort level with our past experiences in playing together (Kelly, Jeanna and Sasha), along with great excitement to start this new chapter with Sarah at lead.” The Scott rink is currently ninth in the world rankings. With 2012-13 as the

final season to qualify for the pre-Olympic trials next November, points earned at tour stops over the next two months will be vital. The Kelowna team returns to the tour Oct. 19 to 22 for the Manitoba Lotteries Classic in Winnipeg.

CALGARY’S James Curran crosses the finish line Sunday morning at Kelowna City Park to win the BMO Okanagan Marathon for the second year in a row. rigan, who finished third last year, knocked seven minutes off her 2011 time to place second in 3:13:47. Liza Burgess, also of Kelowna, finished third at 3:16:59. “I’m extremely pleased,” said Carrigan, 30, is originally from Osoyoos. “I was just hoping to do better than 3:17, so I think I exceeded that limit by quite a bit, for sure.” Carrigan will now prepare for the NewYork City Marathon next month. In the half marathon, Penticton’s Jeff Symonds won the men’s title for the third time in four years with a clocking of 1:13:56. As a homegrown Oka-

nagan boy, it’s a race Symonds does his best not to miss. “It’s great to come out an support the local events, you know the fact it’s just a stone’s throw away makes it a no-brainer to come up here,” said Symonds, 27, who is also a competitive triathlete. “To have an event of this magnitude and to see the numbers of people participating, it creates an unbelievable atmosphere that I want to be part of year after year.” Following in second place was Simon Stewart of Edmonton at 1:19:12, with Skeets Morel of Vernon placing third at 1:20:27.

We will be keeping a close eye on these athletes and helping where we can with their development. Hopefully we will see several of them in Heat uniforms in the near future.”

Among the tournament all-star selections were three Knights, Micaylee Pucilowski, Kelsi Taron and Jazz Randhawa; and two Owls, Erin Konrad and Cayte Wilson.

Canoe’s Glynis Sim came in second at 38:19, followed by Amy Buzikievich of Summerland at 39:32. Wearing bib No. 100, 58-year-old Richard Stewart of Prince George completed his goal of completing his 100th marathon in a time of 5:29:56. He was thrilled with the support he felt on the course. “It was emotional near the finish line, I had so many people cheering me on. It has been an incredible experience for me and I have met wonderful people and close friends along the road.” More than 3,100 participants took part in the weekend’s events, which featured the Running Room’s Free Friendship Run, 5K, and BMO ABC Kids Run on Saturday, and the marathon, half marathon and 10 k on Sunday.

It wasn’t as fast as his first victory here, nor was the field as challenging as it was a year ago in Kelowna. All the same, Calgary’s James Curran was happy to make it two in a row at the BMO Okanagan Marathon on an ideal fall morning on the streets of Kelowna. Curran, who is originally from Cork, Ireland, completed the 42-kilometre course in two hours 51 minutes 10 seconds. Curran led from start to finish and, with no serious challengers on his heels, finished more than six minutes back of his pace in 2011. “It’s a great race, I ran faster last year, but I didn’t need to push it this time around and I had enough in me to win it,” said Curran. “I am pleased to repeat as champion and I will be back again next year to defend. Kelowna is a beautiful place to run and the volunteers and supporters on the course were amazing. It’s special to win two in a row.” Two Calgary runners, Adam Kahtava and Donovan Thorkelson, finished second and third respectively in 2:53:28 and 2:56:45. The women’s champion, Newell Lake, Alberta’s Rhonda Loo, wasn’t far off the men’s pace crossing the line in 3:00:40 in her first try at the Okanagan. “I have friends in Summerland and wherever I travel I look for a race,” said Loo. “This was happening, so I thought I’ll do it and I’m happy I did. It’s a great race, I’m happy I won, even though I would have liked to have run a sub-3.” Kelowna’s Stacie Car-

SPORTS ▼ HEAT VOLLEYBALL

Heat close out the preseason winning 2 of 3 In preparation for their second season of Canada West competition, the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s volleyball squad took to the road for one last weekend of preseason exhibition play, winning two of three matches. Thursday night saw the Heat taking on the visiting Fudan University squad from Shanghai, China at the UBC War Memorial Gymnasium. The Heat struggled early in the opening set with errors, but then an offensive run spearheaded by outside hitters Nate Speijer and Riley McFarland sent them into the lead, never looking back. Fudan made a comeback run in the second set after the Heat took a commanding seven-point lead, but could not quite overcome the sharp UBC Okanagan

offense on Friday night. The Heat won in straight sets 3-0 (25-21, 25-22, 2520). On Friday UBC Okanagan had their second B.C. Cup match of the year, this time against inter-campus rivals, the UBC Thunderbirds. The Thunderbirds took an exciting first set 27-25 and looked to take an equally thrilling second set off of UBC Okanagan, but the Heat fought hard and captured the second set 26-24. Ever determined, the Heat continued to play a strong offensive match and won the first inter-campus matchup of the year in four sets 3-1 (25-27, 26-24, 25-16, 2517). The win also earned UBC Okanagan its first point toward this year’s B.C. Cup competition.

In their final exhibition matchup of the preseason, the Heat lost to the defending CIS champions Trinity Western Spartans 3-0 (25-18, 25-11, 25-16). “All in all this was a positive tour for our squad,” said head coach Greg Poitras. “We had highs and lows that go along with competing this time of year. We will take positives from all three matches.” “The season is right around the corner and we have a lot of work to do in preparation. We are much more healthy than we were a few weeks ago and so the training has been very competitive as of late.” The Heat are off until their season opener on the road against Thompson Rivers on Oct. 26 in Kamloops.

Heat women close to playoff spot The UBC Okanagan Heat women’s soccer squad can take a big step towards a PACWEST playoff berth this weekend on its home turf. The Heat will take on Langara College Saturday, 1 p.m. at Nonis Field, before hosting Quest University on Sunday in a noon kick-off. UBCO is 4-1-5 on the season, good enough for sole possession of third place in the conference. The top four teams will make the post-season. The Heat helped their cause over the weekend with a sweep of two games on the road. On Saturday, UBCO ended a string of four straight draws with a 1-0 win over Kwantlen in Newton as the Heat finally capitalized in the final minute. Kira Byers, normally a defender, was moved to forward for the last 15 minutes of the game, and was able to put the ball past the keeper in the 89th minute to secure the victory. On Sunday in Coqutilam, UBCO left little doubt about the outcome with a solid 4-0 win over the Douglas Royals. “The four goals that

‘Folk’ can’t fully describe Stone Poets Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

When he played with Doug and the Slugs in the late ’90s and early 2000s, 20,000 people might wait before the stage. Yet in filling the same instrumental role behind the piano for the little known trio Stone Poets, Marc Gladstone describes the experience as akin to the unmentionable frontof-the-classroom dream, baring one’s assets and talents, stripped down with little room for mistakes. “Stone Poets is really naked. Maybe put raw. We don’t play naked,” said the 52-year-old Gladstone in an interview this week, his voice showing all the scraping and scratching of a permanent morningafter state with none of tired undertone. Gladstone actually joined this particular act—one of many bands he plays for, including Prism—after his house was seconded by the other two members. The group is really a collaboration between the frontman from Surrey-based pop/rock band Abandon Paris, Scott Jackson, and solo artist Cherelle Jardine, who is releasing her second album with her daughter under the name The Jardines. Jardine and Jackson were playing a show on the same night a couple of years ago and Jackson decided Jardine might make the perfect yin to his yang on a duet he was writing. As in any good gradeschool fairytale romance, he asked Gladstone if he thought she would do it. Gladstone told him to ask her himself. Before anyone knew it, the pair had planned a musical col-

laboration in Gladstone’s house, and the rest, as they say, is the history of another young folk act. “We say that it’s kind of dark folk because a lot of the content has kind of that dark, mysterious edge,” said Jardine as Gladstone cracked a joke about the group members having a number of demons in their closets. With Jardine promising Beelzebub is not involved, the pair tried to explain how a twisted, country acoustic group with a penchant for goth costuming wound up in the trendy, if voluminous, folk category of the independent music scene, duking it out with hipsters half the members’ age. “When you think of folk, you think of Canadiana and they’re writing about maple trees. There’s nothing wrong with that at all, but folk is a hard word for us,” admitted Jardine. Like many an act donning horn-rimmed glasses and jeans that make their thighs scream in the name of art, the band knows this is not an industry that takes kindly to thinking outside the box. Fitting the folk scene, even in name only, can’t hurt if draws attention, for attracting new ears without a major label is always a feat. And it’s a critical one for the future of musicianship. “It’s really important for people to come out and support independent music and hear new music instead of what the radio has to offer,” said Jardine, noting all three are lifelong musicians. She credits the house concert program with the huge resurgence of the genre, pointing out the venues for independent musicians have dwindled and this new idea, to

BEN AFFLECK stars as a CIA specialist out to make the most successful fake movie ever, in the true story of Argo.

▼ MOVIE PREVIEW

Movie-goers know what they like

ometimes I wonder why we have movie critics. With all due respect to all of them, it appears movie audiences are not heeding their advice. The No. 1 movie last weekend was Taken 2 and according to Rottentomatoes.com, only 19 per cent of movie critics liked it. However, 76 per cent of the audience did, which resulted in a box office take of $50 million. Frankenweenie had 85 per cent of the critics liking it, but landed at No. 5 with $11 million. Even Hotel Transylvania grabbed $27 million in its second weekend even though only 45 per cent of critics liked it. That being said, it is much more light-hearted and colourful than Frankenweenie which is darker in tone being both black and white and stop-motion, which seems to be a double negative for audiences. Movie critics are like our parents, telling us that we should eat our vegetables, but what we really want is comfort food. But that does not mean we can completely ignore what is good for us. Argo is not only critically acclaimed, but looks like a very entertaining piece of American history (with a Canadian connection). Ben Affleck serves as both director and star in this stranger-than-fiction thriller about a covert operation to rescue six Americans during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. Although 52 people were taken hostage in the American embassy in Tehran, six managed to slip away and find refuge in the home of the

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found and killed, a CIA specialist comes up with what can only be described as their best bad idea to get them out: Pretend to be a Canadian film crew using Iran as a location to make a fake science fiction movie. The great cast includes Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Alan Ar-

kin and Taylor Schilling. I would say to listen to the critics on this one. It’s rare that critics get behind a horror movie, but Sinister is grabbing their attention. From the writer-director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose and the producer of the Paranormal Activity films, it is the story of a true crime novelist (Ethan Hawke) who discovers a box of mysterious, disturbing home movies that plunge his family into a nightmarish experience of supernatural horror. Unlike most horror movies, having an acting heavyweight like Hawke will allow it to rise above many of the middling scary movies of late.

Kevin James has always been one of my favourite stand-up comedians, due to his very physical act. That is what makes him perfect for Here Comes the Boom, in which he plays a teacher who moonlights as an MMA fighter to raise money for his school which is facing cutbacks. It is not going to win any awards for its story, but if they handed out Oscars for comedic pratfalls, James would win every year. Also starring Salma Hayek and Henry Winkler.

At our Kelowna chapter, my volunteer partners and I organize groups of people each month at our “soup kitchen” (Okanagan Street Food Restaurant) and under the caring direction of owner chef Neil Schroeter we make soup for the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. Each month we create a one-month supply (approximately 60 litres) of soup that is ladled into individual covered glass bowls and one litre containers, labeled with names, ingredients and soup-making team names, and then delivered to the shelter’s freezer. Sharon has just launched a cookbook. The Soup Sisters Cookbook contains 100 simple soup recipes that will warm your hearts and bellies.

Wiccan Samhain Attributing sugar intake to bad behaviour festival celebrated W Myra Machlana CONTRIBUTOR

The ancient Celtic festival of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Samhainâ&#x20AC;? (pronounced sow-in) is celebrated on Oct. 31, a cross-quarter day (meaning the midpoint between Fall Equinox and Winter Solstice). This day marks the final day for harvesting the crops; whatever is left in the fields belongs to Mother Earth as both an offering of gratitude and a prayer for the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued generosity. This special harvest day is also when the Feast of the Dead is celebrated. As we see that the crops of the year are dying, our thoughts turn to acknowledge the deaths of our ancestors without whom we would not be here. Wiccans honour how a beautiful, precious life has touched us, how connected we are still to their spirit. We thank our ancestors for going on before us and struggling to make a better world for us to live in. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modern pagan, in reclaiming the ancient roots of the old religion, is returning to the honouring of death as a natural part of life. Death is not an event to be feared, denied or hidden away, but rather it is part of the whole cycle of life and is to be celebrated. During the rituals of Samhain, we remember and honour all of our ancestors in a sacred circle. Animal ancestors are thanked by placing a bone in the north quadrant of the circle. Our bird ancestors of the air are honoured with a feather placed in the east quadrant. Wood is placed in the south quadrant for fire and to invoke the spirits of our ancestors. Shells are offered in the west quadrant to remember our water ancestors. For the Samhain Festival, the spirits of our ancestors are able to cross the veil between the spirit realm and the physical world. Ancestors can send a vision, appear in a dream or bring a message from the spirit world. Souls come to visit and mingle with the living. We allow ourselves to be open to receive any messages sent on this night. Samhain is a time to explore our own mortality and accept our own death. We honour, remember, and learn to laugh at our own fears of death. This respect and honoring of death leads us to truly appreciate life in all its fragility and magnificence. The Samhain Festival will take place in Kelowna for three days, Oct. 19 to 21, at the Unitarian Church hall, 1310 Bertram St. The ticket cost for the weekend is $75. For more information see www.westerngate.ca.

ith Halloween fast approaching and the grocery stores lining their aisles with super-sized boxes of candy, I thought this might be a good season to address a widely held belief about sugar and its effect on the hyperactivity and behaviour of children. No doubt, we have all heard the very popular notion that sugar causes kids to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;buzzed,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or simply hyper. Maybe it will surprise you to learn that this is actually not true. Even though everyone says it, studies have shown conclusively that there is no causal relationship between consumption of sugar and hyperactive behaviour in children. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not news reallyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the scientific literature it has been well published for more than a decade that there is no relational link between ingesting sugary treats and negative or hyper behaviour. A 2009 review of 12 double-blind, placebocontrolled studies of sugar challenges failed to provide any evidence of the causal relationship between sugar and behaviour in children both with and without pre-existing ADD/ADHD. Other studies examined diet-oriented treat-

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer ment on children with behaviour problems and also found that this treatment does not appear to be appropriate and that eliminating sugar did not improve behaviour. You might be thinking that you know your child is more hyper after all the treats at Halloween or at the end of a cake and popfilled birthday party. It is more likely that the hyper or wired behaviour after such experiences is due to the excitement of the event itself rather than the food consumed as part of it. To be sure, there are some good reasons to limit sugar intake in our children. Our current obesity epidemic is probably the most pressing one. It is important to encourage a healthy, active lifestyle, balanced diet and to avoid regular consumption of large quantities of junk food. Of course it is best to fill our bodies with healthy food. That being said, allowing your children to

enjoy some treats from time to time at parties and holidays is not going to cause them to develop attention deficit disorder and will not in itself cause them to behave badly. Kids who are overstimulated from an exciting activity, tired from staying up late or wound up from being surrounded by other excited children may exhibit some situational hyperactivity and

may take a while to calm down afterwardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just like adults. Moderation is a good standard to go by when it comes to treats and it teaches children they can live a healthy life making good choices every day and enjoying occasional treats and desserts without developing unhealthy relationships to foodsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;either of denial or excess.

Public flu clinics will begin in some Interior Health communities next week. This year, IH is trying to counter what they say is misinformation about flu vaccines. “There are many myths and misconceptions about the flu shot so it’s important for people to get accurate information to help them stay healthy,” said Dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer with Interior Health. “For example, the flu shot cannot give you the flu. The vaccine used in B.C. contains dead influenza viruses that cannot cause infection.” In years when influenza is widespread in B.C., hundreds of people may die from influenza or its complications, such as pneumonia. “The two most important ways to protect yourself from getting the

flu are to wash your hands frequently and get your flu shot,” said Parker. “Flu vaccinations are a proven, safe and effective way to reduce your chances of getting the flu. The flu shot also lessens the severity of symptoms for those who do get the flu.” In B.C. the flu vaccine is free for: • people 65 years and older and their caregivers and household contacts • all children between six-monthsold and five-years-old • household contacts and caregivers of infants up to five-years-old • children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts • aboriginal people • children and adolescents, aged sixmonths old to 18 yearsold, with conditions treated for long periods of time with Aspirin or ASA, and their household contacts • residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities

• pregnant women who will be in their third trimester during influenza season and their household contacts (pregnant women who are in other high risk groups can be immunized at any time during the pregnancy) • health care and other care providers in facilities and community settings who are capable of transmitting influenza disease to those at high risk of influenza complications • people who provide essential community services (first responders, corrections workers) • people who work with live poultry and/or swine • individuals who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high risk persons. “The flu shot is anywhere from 60 to 90 per cent effective in preventing influenza and if you don’t get it you can’t spread it,” Parker said.

ockey and indoor soccer are ramping up for the season and so too are the injuries from these physically demanding sports. One injury that hockey players, in particular, should be familiar with is the sports hernia. It can be very disabling for the athlete and proper treatment is often delayed because vague symptoms can make diagnosis difficult. The term sports hernia, which is a relatively new concept, has been used as a diagnosis for some of the more difficult cases of groin and abdominal strains. A hernia occurs when an organ or body part protrudes through the structure meant to contain it. This can happen just about anywhere in the body (for example, herniated disk in the back). The groin is the most common place for a hernia to develop. In the groin, there is a space known as the inguinal canal that allows the spermatic cord in males and the round ligament in females to pass out of the abdominal cavity. Occasionally, some of the lower intestine can push into this space, creating pain worse with lifting, coughing and pushing movements. A sports hernia is different from a regular hernia in that technically it is not a hernia at all. There is no protrusion of an organ through its usual confines. This sports hernia is a disruption of the groin or lower abdomen characterized

KEEPING YOU MOVING

Jay Stone by weakening of part of the inguinal canal, which leads to unilateral groin or lower abdominal pain. Unfortunately, the diagnosis isn’t given until after a groin or abdominal strain doesn’t seem to get better in a “normal” period of time. The athlete that has this condition will often present with groin pain, which has been very slow, or non-healing over a number of months. Their pain usually increases when accelerating, twisting and turning, cutting and kicking and sometimes coughing and sneezing. Hockey and soccer require repetitive twisting and turning at high speed. The action of the adductor muscles (muscles along the inside of your thigh) are very important in these sports and the frequent contraction can cause shearing forces across the front of the hip/ groin causing stress to the inguinal canal. A 1996-97 National Hockey League study found that nearly 20 per cent of their players suffered from groin and abdominal injuries. Treatment for these types of injuries has improved a lot over the last decade as we have learned more about the importance of the trunk and pel-

vic stabilizing muscles. Often, weakness in the trunk stabilizers or inflexibility across the hips and pelvis can lead to poor mechanics that cause increased shearing on the lower abdominal and groin areas. Proper muscle balance must be restored to this area to allow the injury to heal. If you believe that you have a sports hernia, you should have your health care provider perform a thorough exam. Your physician should be able to rule out other more serious pathology and order tests that may help with the diagnosis. A skilled physiotherapist should be able to assess all aspects of pelvic flexibility, strength and stability and design a program for you that will address the weaknesses that may be making you prone to this injury. Since preventing this condition is easier than treating it, any athlete who participates in recreation or competitive hockey or soccer should be on an off-ice or field-prevention program. Pelvic and hip inflexibility, instability or imbalance may all contribute to the development of injuries to this area so exercises to increase flexibility of the hip flexors, abductors, adductors, abdominal and pelvic stabilizing muscles should be a staple of this program.

Lind arena improvements to cost $1.45m Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Recreation facilities are one of the least important concerns to residents of West Kelowna, according to citizen surveys from recent years. But the District of West Kelowna will likely spend around $1.45 million on a new ice floor, better lighting and a new rink board system in Jim Lind Arena next year. “According to our citizen survey, people resist more money for facilities…it’s ranked fairly low,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. “The reality is that this is a 35-year-old facility. The piping under the floor is worn out. “If we don’t do something, if we have a major failure, then we’re dealing with this on a catastrophic kind of basis to replace it with an unscheduled interruption.” District staff will seek council’s approval on the project during 2013 budget deliberations. There will also be a suggestion to expedite the

PLANNED UPGRADES to the Jim Lind Arena will include a new ice floor, better lighting and a new rink board system. be four times higher. Jim Lind Arena was built in 1974 and still has the original floor. According to an information report presented to council Tuesday, arena floors have a life expectancy of 30 to 40 years. The arena has had two major leaks over the past

seven years; both leaks forced the rink to close for a week to complete the required repairs. According to Erin Goodwin, facilities supervisor with the district, the new lighting will likely reduce energy costs by 50 per cent. He added the new

boards will be installed in the same configuration as Royal LePage Place; therefore, the dry floor will fit on either surface. “I see some real potential for that if we were to (host) some sort of major event: A curling or a hockey tournament,” said Findlater.

“It will give us more versatility in the whole facility.” Repairs to Jim Lind are included in the district’s 10-year capital plan, to be completed in 2013. West Kelowna has also applied for a $250,000 grant through the Community Infrastructure Improve-

ment Fund to help fund the project. “I think we have to maintain what we have and bring it up to a modern standard. We’re not getting another sheet of ice out of this, we’re just making sure that we don’t lose this (one).” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Home stretch for completion of Nancee Way underpass Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Finishing touches are being put on the Nancee Way underpass and six weeks from now, the interchange should be fully operational. “They are preparing the bridge deck for concrete…that will be concreted in the next week or so. It will take about a month for that to cure,” said Evelyn Lube, spokesperson for the Westside Road Interchange Project. “The underpass should be open to traffic by late November; the entire project is scheduled for completion at the end of December.” Although completion of the project is sched-

uled for the end of 2012, paving of Nancee Way, underneath the new structure, is being postponed until spring 2013 so the work can be achieved during better weather conditions. The completion of the project will likely be welcomed by motorists. Last month’s paving of Highway 97 through the Westside Road Interchange Project caused significant traffic snarls. Lube said the daytime paving was approved by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; however, crews quickly noticed the plan wasn’t working efficiently. “We realized it caused some congestion, so we worked with the contract-

or to reschedule the work and scheduled it for the evenings.” Most of the trafficimpeding work has been completed, but when the highway is adjusted back to its normal alignment, there will likely be a few more slowdowns. “There will be a couple days of shifting lanes over, but that won’t be until the end of November.” Lube said the traffic management plan for that work is still being developed; therefore, she is unsure if daytime delays are in the cards for next month’s realignment of Highway 97. Last November, the opening of Westside Road overpass was followed days later by the collapse of one of its retaining walls. The failure delayed the entire Westside Road

David Suzuki must work harder to pay for, and selling resources to enrich the fossil fuel industry and to allow other countries to follow our unsustainable path? Some governments and industry favour the short-term view. But it’s a “false economy”—it will cost us more in the long run. What about our children and grandchildren and their children and grandchildren? Do we not want them to live healthy and happy lives? If we pollute the air,

water and soil that keep us alive and well, and destroy the biodiversity that allows natural systems to function, no amount of money will save us. While rushing to exploit our valuable and diminishing fossil fuels, Canada’s government is simultaneously “streamlining” environmental regulations and review processes, cutting scientific staff and departments and limiting public debate on projects that could irreparably damage our rich natural heritage. Some provinces are attempting to water down hard-won environmental laws, like endangered species legislation, that act as a critical hedge against environmental degradation. The federal govern-

ment is also neglecting its legal obligations to protect species at risk. Ecojustice, on behalf of five conservation groups including the David Suzuki Foundation, recently launched a lawsuit to challenge the government’s multi-year delays in producing recovery strategies for species that would be affected by the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project. If we don’t slow down and try to look at ways out of the mess, energy issues will continue to increase, like the Hydra of Greek mythology. With pipelines, the main issue is rapid tar sands expansion.

Not only are fossil fuel companies making record profits, they’re being subsidized by Canadian taxpayers to the tune of $1.4 billion a year. Instead of giving them money, shouldn’t we be compelling them to put at least a small portion of their enormous profits into reducing the massive greenhouse gas emissions they cause? A large part of the problem is that we are increasing our fossil-fuelled ambitions at breakneck speed in the absence of a national energy strategy. No one seems to know where we’re going, but the end of the road is looming, and it might lead to a steep drop. We’re already harming precious ecosystems and are ready to put even more at risk without having an idea of the often irreplaceable value they represent.

OCTOBER 7 - 13, 2012 PREVENTION CAN SAVE LIVES!

nstalled home smoke detectors are required by law in British Columbia, but every year injuries or deaths occur because alarms were not working. During Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 7 to 13, the Kelowna Fire Department reminds everyone to take some time to review or establish a plan for what to do if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fire in the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a new message, but smoke alarms are essential to a home fire prevention plan,â&#x20AC;? said Kelowna Fire Department fire prevention officer Greg Daft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we want everyone to ensure they have smoke alarms in their home and that they have an escape plan in case thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fire.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Have 2 Ways Outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a theme for Fire Prevention Week across Canada this year. A home fire escape plan prepares anyone caught in an emergency to think fast and get out quickly when the smoke alarm sounds. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have two ways out of the house in case the first escape route is blocked by smoke or flames.

Nearly all deaths caused by fires in the home could have been prevented by taking a few simple precautions, such as having working smoke alarms and a home fire escape plan that includes two ways out of the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a good time of year to review keeping your home and family safe by developing an escape plan, practicing it and equipping homes with life-saving technologies like smoke alarms and home fire extinguishers.â&#x20AC;?

To learn more about Fire Prevention Week, Daft suggests to visit the National Fire Prevention Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at nfpa.org.

f you woke up to a fire in your home, how much time do you think you would have to get to safety? According to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), one-third of households estimate they thought they would have at least six minutes before a fire in their home would become life threatening. Unfortunately, the time available is often less. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why West Kelowna Fire Rescue, along with the Kelowna and Lake Country fire departments, has teamed up with NFPA during Fire Prevention Week to urge residents to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have Two Ways Out!â&#x20AC;?

true escape plan with two ways is essential to ensuring your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety should fire break out in your home. West Kelowna Fire Rescue recommends the following tips for planning your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s escape: â&#x20AC;˘ Make a map of your home.

Only a working smoke alarm can save your life! FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 7-14

Smoke alarms save lives â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fall backâ&#x20AC;? to smart home safety As most Canadians turn back the clocks on November 4, here are some timely smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) safety tips: s 7HEN YOU change your clocks, test your smoke arlam. s 9OU HAVE less than three minutes to escape a ďŹ re. So when smoke alarms sound, everyone must know what to do and where to go. Having and practising an escape plan is essential. s )NSTALL ONE SMOKE ALARM on every storey and outside BEDROOMS )NSTALL INSIDE bedrooms if you sleep with doors closed. s %NSURE ALL SMOKE ALARMS are fully powered. Never take out batteries or remove an alarm from ceiling due to a false alarm. s )F YOUR HOME HAS ANY fuel-burning devices such as a gas furnace, gas water heater, gas appliances, or an attached garage or carport, install at least one CSAapproved carbon monoxide outside all sleeping areas. One per storey is recommended.

s 2EPLACE SMOKE ALARMS EVery 10 years, and CO alarms every 7-10 years (depending on manufacturer) whether battery operated or hardwired into your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electrical system. Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless. So without a CO alarm, humans cannot detect its presence. Despite the average home having several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have not INSTALLED A #/ ALARM )N ADdition to being impossible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure mimic the ďŹ&#x201A;u, without the FEVER )T IS ROUTINELY RESPONsible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiagnosed. Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, dizziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain damage and ultimately, death. More home safety resources can be found on the www. safeathome.ca web site.

Analysis was undertaken on almost 50,000 ďŹ res that occurred in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario over a 5-year period involving 663 fatalities. The ďŹ ndings demonstrated that the death rate per 1,000 ďŹ res in the absence of a present, functioning smoke alarm was 74% greater than when a functioning smoke alarm was present.

In case of ďŹ re - GET OUT AND STAY OUT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; never go back into a burning building s #RAWL LOW NEAR THE mOOR TO the nearest exit maintaining contact with the wall. s 4EST THE DOOR BY FEELING IT WITH THE BACK OF YOUR HAND )F it is hot, do not open. Use an alternative route. s )F THE DOOR AND KNOB ARE cool, stay low with your shoulder against the door while opening slowly. Be ready to close the door if smoke and heat rush in. s )F TRAPPED PUT AS MANY

closed doors as possible between you and the ďŹ re, and seal all cracks in doors and windows with towels or bedding. s )F YOUR CLOTHING CATCHES ďŹ re, stop where you are, drop gently to the ground and cover your face with your hands while rolling back-and-forth to put out the ďŹ&#x201A;ames. s #OOL MINOR BURNS WITH cold water.

Many fatal ďŹ res start at night

The City of Kelowna and the Kelowna Fire Department would like to remind you to: Have 2 Ways Out! Always have two ways out of every room. Smoke Detectors Saves Lives! Test your smoke detectors every month.

)NVESTIGATIONS into home ďŹ re deaths very often ďŹ nd that a smoke alarm did not sound. )T MAY HAVE been disconnected or not in working order. The batteries may have been dead, or someone may have taken them out. Smoke alone wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarILY WAKE YOU UP )N FACT THE fumes could put you into an even deeper sleep. Often, victims never wake up. Se-

niors will often need assistance from family members to put safety measures into place. As well, family members are in the best position to reinforce the precautions necessary to help their loved ones prevent or respond to a ďŹ re. Focus on these six priorities to help aging family members protect themselves against ďŹ re in the home.

N INSTALL smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. N Larger homes may need ADDITIONAL smoke alarms to provide enough protection. N For the best protection, INTERCONNECT all smoke alarms so when one sounds they all sound. N An IONIZATION smoke alarm is generally more responsive to ďŹ&#x201A;aming ďŹ res and a PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering ďŹ res. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms (also known as dual sensor alarms) are recommended. N Smoke alarms should be INSTALLED away from the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Generally, they should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance. N REPLACE all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.

▼ REDUCING ACCIDENTS

Changing driver behaviour will change driving attitude D onovan Lagrange, a nineyear veteran of the Quebec provincial police force, was killed while on duty last Saturday. It wasn’t a gun fight. He was walking back to his patrol car after pulling over two speeders. He was killed by a passing motorist. Two weeks ago I poked fun at my wife for driving while low on fuel. My point had been

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott that it is negligent to run out of gas, noting that “a stopped vehicle on a roadway presents a hazard.” Emergency vehicles reduce the hazard by activating their emergen-

cy lights. There is an added hazard, though. You can count on emergency personnel being in the vicinity. It’s reasonable to expect the possibility of people in the vicinity of any stopped vehicle, not just emergency vehicles; the flashing lights just add certainty to the prospect. By keeping your tank filled with gas, you can avoid running out and creating a needless hazard.

Emergency vehicles and tow trucks are unavoidable. The onus falls on passing motorists to eliminate needless injuries and deaths. Now I wonder. What could a passing motorist do to eliminate a casualty when passing a stopped emergency vehicle? Let’s say you’re driving through Kelowna. It’s a 60 km/hour zone so you’re going about 65. There’s a patrol car stopped ahead of you in

the HOV lane. You’re in the next lane over. What might you do to minimize risk? How about slow down, or if it’s safe to do so, merge into the lane closest to the centre line so that there is an empty lane between your vehicle and the patrol car as you pass? Many drivers would do that as a matter of course. It’s the clear and obviously safe thing to do. It wouldn’t matter if

it was an emergency vehicle or a stalled Ford (sorry, Mark). Others are missing a certain part of their brain. What do we need to do to encourage those with the brain deficiency to stop putting our emergency services personnel at risk? Wouldn’t you know, there’s a law. A “slow down, move over” regulation became law on June 1, 2009. It requires motorists to do that clear and obviously safe thing. Failure to do so is punishable by a $148 fine and three points. Did you know about the law? Do you think those with that part miss-

ing from their brains know about the law? What good is a law if nobody knows about it? Even if everyone knew about it, would risk of a $148 fine change driving behaviours? In my view, the only sure way to change driving behaviours is to change driving attitudes. 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. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Global shift needed in energy thinking Suzuki from B8

October 13th We Salute Our Newspaper Carriers!

ed much that is good. We have political systems that encourage public debate and access to information. There are politicians and industry leaders who have joined countless citizens, First Nations, and environmental, labour and social-justice organizations to question current policies and actions. We have science, medicine and technology that have allowed many of us to live longer. We need to find ways to reconcile our existence with the limits of our finite planet. What Canada really needs in the short term is a national energy strategy—one that goes beyond fracking and tar sands and pipelines to take into account these many other factors, including wiser use of fossil fuels. It must help us make the transition from our wasteful addiction to polluting and ever-diminishing fossil fuels to conservation and renewable energy. Globally, we need to shift from the outdated 20th century notion of measuring progress with gross domestic product to a development paradigm that takes into account well-being and happiness, and that accounts for nature’s valuable services. Written with contributions from David Suzuki Foundation communications manager Ian Hanington. www.davidsuzuki.org

ELDA MAY O’BRIEN March 5, 1922 – October 5, 2012 The family of Elda May O’Brien (nee Sandercock) sadly announces her passing on Friday October 5, 2012, at the age of 90 years. Elda suffered a major heart attack and passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after living with a progressively disabling condition for nearly ten years. She was predeceased by Wilton (Obie), her devoted husband of 62 years in 2011 and by her brother Elmer. She is survived by two sisters Vera and Verna, brother Hugh, son Ellis, grandchildren Heath, Damon, Timothy and Stacia, and great-grandchildren Quinn and Evey. Elda was born in Markinch Saskatchewan, the eldest of 5 children to Stacia Elda and Charles Edward Sandercock. She completed her high school education in Markinch and then attended Normal School in Regina to become a qualified teacher in 1941. After teaching school for a time, Elda attended the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon and earned an Arts and Science degree in Biology in 1945. While working at the Experimental Farm in Indian Head, she met Wilton (Obie) O’Brien who was also working there as an agricultural engineer. They soon fell in love and were married on Christmas Eve 1948. After their son Ellis was born in 1950, Elda and Obie moved with him to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. In 1954 the young family moved west to Edmonton, where Elda ran the family business, a corner store with living quarters above. By 1957, Elda and Obie had sold the store and moved to a new home in the suburbs of Edmonton. Once her son was able to fend for himself in school and at home, Elda returned to teaching, first as a grade nine classroom teacher, and later as a travelling tutor for “homebound” students who couldn’t attend school due to disability or injury. She had found her true calling in this work and loved going out to work with students in their homes or hospitals, helping to ensure the students with disabilities still got an education and the injured ones didn’t fall too far behind while temporarily absent from school. Elda retired from 20 years of teaching in 1979 and moved with Obie to a lakeshore home in the Okanagan Mission area of Kelowna. Elda’s energetic personality served her well in Kelowna where she and Obie made many neighborhood friends as they enjoyed the Okanagan to the fullest while travelling often to Alberta to visit grandchildren, and to Arizona for the colder months. By 1994 Elda and Obie had moved to the energy efficient, low maintenance dream home they had helped design and build for their remaining years. As Elda’s health began to decline, the family was lucky to find caregivers Joy and Cris in 2005 to share their home so that Elda could continue to enjoy her chosen surroundings with excellent loving care right to the end of her life. A memorial service to celebrate Elda’s life will be held at St. Paul’s United Church, 3131 Lakeshore Road, Kelowna at 1:00 pm on Friday October 12, 2012, with niche interment to follow at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery. In lieu of floral tributes, donations may be made in her name to the charity of your choice. Condolences and remembrances may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com or calling 250-860-7077

He camped with his family from coast to coast of this beautiful country instilling in them the same love for exploration and life. His light shone brightly and his absence will be profoundly felt by all those who loved him. He will be missed and remembered for his drive and passion for life.

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.
