▼ BULLYING

Simpson home is taken off the heritage registry

Local parents reacting to tragic suicide Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

With the story of a Lower Mainland teenager’s suicide in heavy circulation, local concerns over bullying are on the rise. “We usually get one report a year (about bullying),” said Const. Kris Clark, with the Kelowna RCMP. “Monday I had two. Parents are becoming more concerned, seemingly because of recent events, and that’s a marked departure from the norm.” While worries are spiking, Clark pointed out that bullying incidents haven’t really increased. It’s been a pervasive problem throughout time. The situation that allegedly prompted Amanda Todd to take her own life, however, is different on a number of levels, he said. In addition to its tragic and public conclusion, Todd’s story had criminal undertones. WE ENCOURAGE “If bullying becomes PARENTS TO KEEP persistent malicious beAN OPEN LINE OF haviour that causes someone to fear for their safeCOMMUNICATION ty, that’s criminal harassWITH THEIR ment,” explained Clark. CHILDREN. And in Todd’s case Const. Kris Clark in particular, the circumstance is more akin to extortion. In a video diary entry posted to YouTube before she died, Todd explained she was tormented after an unknown man convinced her to expose herself online in front of a webcam. He blackmailed her and that is something police may have been able to act upon, said Clark. That said, it’s better to be safe than sorry. “We take each case as it comes and we have to investigate each one as if it’s a criminal offence until proven otherwise,” he said. And there are tools that can be used to decrease a child’s vulnerability.

PREPARING FOR WINTER…Gray Biggins, of Master Sweep It, uses an electric drill body to clean out the creosol from the chimney of this Rutland neighbourhood home to maintain the efficiency of its wood burning stove. In the wake of a series of recent fire calls related to furnace fires as the temperature has begun to drop, the fire department urges local residents to service their furnaces or chimneys prior to the onset of winter.

Kelowna city council has agreed to a request from the owner of an Abbott Street house to remove the building from the city’s heritage registry. The property, which once was home to Kelowna Sawmill Co. owner Stanley Merriam Simpson, was placed on the registry because of its connection to the late local pioneer businessman. Simpson once owned much of the land that now makes up the downtown core and sold a large tract of land to the city in the late 1940s. That land now houses City Hall, Memorial Arena and Jim Stuart Park. City staff said although the original house was built in 1921, it has had a number of large and significant renovations and additions made to it over more than 60 years. The current owner, who is not related to the Simpson family, has been trying to have the property removed from the heritage registry for several years, according to the city planning department. A letter from the owner’s lawyer said with a heritage designation, insurance for the property is more expensive. But city officials point-

ed out the house does not have a heritage designation, it is simply on the registry. And that’s a key difference because inclusion on the registry does not afford the building any special protection, it merely indicates a historic significance—in this case as the former Simpson home. Heritage designation on the other hand, would protect it from substantial changes or demolition. While some members of council felt the building should stay on the registry because of its connection to the legendary Kelowna businessman, the majority, lead by Coun. Luke Stack, felt its history is well known and keeping records and photographs is good enough. Currently there are just 15 city properties with heritage designation— and thus protected—and there are 212 properties listed on Kelowna’s heritage registry. Stack and the other councillors who supported the staff recommendation to remove the property from the registry noted the lack of protection the registry affords any property included on it. Voting against the move were Couns. Robert Hobson, Gerry Zimmermann and Mohini Singh.

NEWS ▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Provincial funding finds its way to Kelowna campus The provincial government is investing $18.7 million to create more than 3,000 new seats in skills training programs at colleges and universities across the province. And, according to the provincial jobs ministry, Okanagan College will get just over $1 million of that money for three programs, a seven-week week course to prepare students for entry level positions in the oil and gas industry, a management skills training course for the hospitality, tourism, business and finance industries and an 11-week certificate course in office administration. In August, Okanagan College and the province announced how more than $550,000 in one-time funding

would be used to offer skilled tradesrelated training in the region. That money is believed to be part of the $1 million announced for OC on Monday. The college expects to create 110 seats over the coming year, including training in mining, oil and gas-related supervision and safety, and green building design, among others. The new funding is on top of the $28 million in capital funding the government recently announced to renovate, upgrade and expand the trades training facilities at the OC campus on KLO Road. That move is expected to add 750 students to the college’s main campus once complete because facilities cur-

rently leased by the college elsewhere will no longer be needed. The trades training facility upgrade and expansion is expected to be complete in four years time. The newly announced provincial BC Jobs Plan funding is being provided to 17 colleges and universities, including Okanagan College, under the Employment Skills Access program. The money will help the institutions deliver skills training in a variety of programs, varying from nautical training to forestry boot camps and from health-care assistant programs to heavy equipment operator and mining technician programs. The money is coming from within government’s existing fiscal plan.

Through ESA, eligible British Columbians are provided with tuitionfree, group-based training at public post-secondary institutions to prepare them for entry or re-entry into the labour force. ESA skills training programs are primarily focused on preparing participants for entry-level employment in industries, sectors or occupations that are currently experiencing, or are projected to experience, labour or skills shortages. Training programs are expected to be at least three weeks in duration, to a maximum of 12 months, with an emphasis on programs that provide participants with provincially or industry-recognized credentials.

For occupations with established provincial standards for training and certification, training programs must follow and meet those standards. Participants in programs must be unemployed individuals who have not made an Employment Insurance claim in the past three years, or five years in the case of maternity/parental leave. “Investing in skills training seats in our colleges and universities lowers barriers for people so they can improve their skills and put unemployed British Columbians in a better position to access the workforce,” said Advanced Education, Innovation and Technology Minister John Yap.

Pulling together to help writer beat breast cancer Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

When artists get sick, the creative culture of a community loses important voices. Two local creative writing instructors have come to the conclusion it’s time this important sector of the Okanagan economy has the same backup as areas with more structured critical illness coverage. “We’re starting the Bella Dona Foundation for female entrepreneurs who do not have financial support,” explained Rand Zacharias, a freelance writer and friend of Dona Sturmanis. Sturmanis is an Okanagan College writing instructor and freelance writer who has carved an niche in the region’s feature writing and small book publishing scene. In June, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and discovered she might need months of expensive

One in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. For those who are single, independently employed and without a

family support network to fall back on, it can be a devastating spot. “You can go on welfare, but those bureaucracies can be very slow and people can lose their homes so quickly,” said Sturmanis. When she was told about her own diagnosis, she found her biggest concern was wondering what the future would look like, particularly given the fact she needs to work to live. “A foundation will bring a lot of awareness for writers and artists and musicians who don’t have the backup of a regular job,” Sturmanis said. There is government funding for those who work in communications and writing and Sturmanis has applied for that support. Navigating the paperwork to this point, however, she knows every sick person in her situation will not necessarily have the energy to secure those dollars and make them count.

RAND ZACHARIAS (right) is selling tickets for the Bella Dona Foundation fundraiser in Kelowna on Sunday. Money from this charity event will assist Dona Sturmanis, a freelance writer undergoing treatment for breast cancer. This is where the foundation could help. “Ultimately, we want to get artists coming together to help artist,” Sturmanis said. Their first fundraiser will go toward supporting Sturmanis herself who is waiting to hear whether she will begin a program of chemotherapy, radiation or natural medicine following a mastectomy

operation last month. From this point, she is expecting to tap into her savings to cover some of the impending costs. With the daylong festival of the arts fundraiser for Sturmanis and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, they are hoping to work towards creating the Bella Dona Foundation. The fundraiser will be

held at Summerhill Pyramid Winery this Sunday, Oct. 21, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A mystery auction featuring original works by artists Cherie Hanson, Rosemary and George Greedy and Donna May Lee will be up for bid. Musicians Gordon James and Anna Jacyszyn will perform live and local poets will give readings. Tickets for the Bella

Aircraft maintenance engineering student lands prestigious scholarship An Okanagan College student has become the first student outside of the United States to receive a scholarship from the International Cessna 170 Association. Ben Peters, 19, received the $1,000 US scholarship just as he completed his Aircraft Maintenance Engineer—M training at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus. The winning scholars

must be enrolled in an aviation-related program at an educational institution. “This will really help,” said Peters. “The simple fact is, my current post-secondary education would not be possible without this generous contribution.” Peters, whose father works at Kelowna Flightcraft, has been pursuing a career in aviation virtually since he learned to read.

“I’ve wanted to be involved in aviation ever since I was a wee little lad,” Peters said. “While others were reading Dr. Seuss, I was flipping through my dad’s airplane books.” But financial considerations ruled out commercial pilot training, so he spent his summer following high school graduation attending the Glider Pilot Scholarship Course

with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, and from there enrolled in the Okanagan College program, conducted in partnership with Northern Lights College. Now with the 62-week portion of the program under his belt, he’s off to Dawson Creek to complete the remainder of his AME-M training. “I can’t imagine what I’d do other than be around airplanes,” he said. Aircraft Maintenance Engineer–M instructor Dale Martell said the fact Peters was able to secure an international scholarship speaks volumes about his student’s commitment. “It’s a wonderful testament to his passion for aviation,” he said. Martell said the scholarship also serves to link Peters up with the tight community of aviation professionals, includ-

Mounties need help from public

Police are looking for information in relation to a series of commercial break ins early Wednesday morning. Kelowna Mounties received reports of break and enters at three commercial properties in the Rutland area on Oct. 17, shortly after 3 a.m. “The three break-ins appear to have been completed in quick succession and in the same manner, and are very likely related,” said Const.

Another aspect that sets The Good Son apart is that Miller interviews Ji Wan, the son of Duk Koo Kim who was born months after his father died. Through interviews from America to South Korea, the film shows how the tragic 1982 boxing match impacted the lives of everyone close to Kim and Mancini. The climax of the documentary comes when Mancini and Ji Wan meet face-to-face for the first time in what Scorgie describes as one of the most emotional scenes in the film. “That’s why I became a filmmaker,” said Scorgie. “Those moments like that…we were all so nervous. Ji Wan was nervous, Ray was nervous, we were nervous to make sure we can capture it in a good way— we hired extra camera guys because we wanted to get every angle.” For Miller, the entire process of making The Good Son was an “overwhelming” experience. “I think Ray is an exceptional person,” said Miller. “He has the ability to talk about (his life) and be introspective.” Miller said the documentary is

more of a human story than a boxing story. “It’s a huge amount of closure for Ray and Ji Wan. Ray has tried to move on forever, but people don’t let him. I think when they see the film, it will help that element.” The Good Son features interviews of long-time friends of Mancini, Ed O’Neill and Mickey Rourke, as well

as other celebrities. The project took a year-anda-half and was completed last month. Discussions are currently happening with network executives to bring the documentary to TV in 2013. Scorgie said audiences have given standing ovations at every showing Mancini has attended. “When they see him after going through this journey with him, everybody wants to give Ray a hug after they watch it.” Mancini will be in the Kelowna area Oct. 27 for the Canadian premiere of The Good Son at Landmark Cinemas in West Kelowna. “I’m really excited about the Kelowna screening,” said Miller. “People flock to Ray, so it’s going to be great.” Scorgie added community sponsorship and support were vital in ensuring that the premiere could be held locally. Tickets for the Oct. 27 West Kelowna screening are $35 and include VIP access to the after-party at Cabana Bar and Grille.

“We encourage parents to keep an open line of communication with their children,” he said. “If a teen is experiencing an uncomfortable situation that’s not criminal in nature, there are avenues to deal with it with counsellors or principals.” RCMP school liaison officers

are continually in schools teaching ways to protect against bullying on the Internet, as well. “Remember that whatever you put on the Internet, is always there,” he said, noting adults need to demonstrate their knowledge of the medium and its pitfalls to youth. Parents should also be monitoring kids online activities. “It’s important for everybody to

understand that social media isn’t the problem, it’s how they interact with it.” To learn more about how to deal with bullying and help protect children, Clark recommends the website Deal.org. “It’s a resource for kids, but parents would get a lot from it too,” he said. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

▼ OUR VIEW

Rattling the food chain

he massive and unprecedented recall of beef that emerged from a Brooks, Alberta, processing plant should cause people to pause and think about the food chain, and how demands for low consumer prices may have a long-term 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

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.

Fiscal fantasies won’t stop the rising ferry operation costs

t was a sunny Thanksgiving weekend when I took my first all-transit trip from Victoria to Vancouver for a B.C. Lions football game. Despite all the doomsaying about people shunning ferries because of some media-determined “tipping point” in fares, you wouldn’t have guessed it that weekend. Articulated buses were jammed coming and going from the Tsawwassen terminal to the Canada Line. Returning to Vancouver Island on Sunday, I was struck by the crowds,

and the low cost: SkyTrain, express bus, walk-on passenger fare and express bus to Victoria totalled about $20. This explains the surge in walk-on trafTom fic. BC Ferries issued Fletcher bulletins advising first that Tsawwassen’s parking lot and then Swartz Bay’s were full. The Tsawwassen First Nation’s shuttle parking next door was overflowing, with cars tucked into every level space. And even with hourly sailings, the major route had plenty of vehicle traffic, with all available vessels running. Now the long, late summer is

VICTORIA VIEWS

gone, and the political theatre resumes. Transportation Minister Mary Polak picked up where the retiring Blair Lekstrom left off, reminding people that BC Ferries is going to deal with rising costs primarily by ceasing the practice of running vessels a third full or less. This comes as “consultation” begins with smaller ferry communities on where and when these sailings will be cut. And it follows the first major price-cap decision by the newly empowered B.C. Ferry Commissioner, Gord Macatee. He now can determine service levels as well as fares, which are permitted to rise about four per cent in each of the next three years. The NDP’s ferry critic, North

Coast MLA Garry Coons, has also decided to transition to his government pensions next year. But before he sails away, he has doubled his repertoire of outraged sound bites to two. Along with every coffee-shop know-it-all on the coast, Coons perpetually reminds us that ferries are “part of our highway system.” He remains convinced that this financially illiterate cliché somehow deals with the fact that even a subsidy approaching $200 million this year can’t keep all those boats afloat forever. A family of four on a long driving trip faces similar price increases, when you factor in tolls, insurance, food and other costs beyond the fuel tank. But for some reason the “gov-

ernment” is supposed to provide special relief to those who choose the most inaccessible places to live. I was reminded on the last busy weekend of the year that the new Coastal-class ferries kept vehicle capacity the same while increasing passenger space. This choice anticipated today’s travel reality nearly a decade ago. BC Ferries has already cut sailings on the Tsawwassen-Duke point route. This needlessly long run is the biggest boondoggle in BC Ferries history, a Dave Barrett-era payoff to the union that continues today. Changes will now come to other routes that minimize shifts and overtime, rather than inflating them. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Film festival goers can vote with their feet

To the editor: In responding to the outrages expressed over the scheduling of (short film) Donkey Love (Film Festival Removed from Public Viewing, Oct. 11 Capital News), Ms. Michaels falls prey to the mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often used â&#x20AC;&#x153;learning about another cultureâ&#x20AC;? excuse. (Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Ask, Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Tell About Your Donkey Love, Oct. 12

Capital News.) Under the premise of learning about another culture would Ms. Michaels condone viewing the product of another subculture, namely â&#x20AC;&#x153;snuff movies,â&#x20AC;? whereby an actual murder is filmed? Where does she draw the line? A more appropriate and realistic response

would be: If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go see it. People can vote with their feet. I certainly have no desire to see this very questionable undertaking which has no real educational or cultural value. Ronald Roy, Kelowna

â&#x2013;ź MP SPIN DOCTOR

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Death of evidence, long life to corporate profiteersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

To the editor: According to MP Ron Cannan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a recent assessmentâ&#x20AC;? by an 18-member national and international expert panel shows that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada is a leader in science and technology innovationâ&#x20AC;? (MPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report: Canada is a Leader in Science and Technology Innovation, Oct. 9 Capital News). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian science and technology is healthy and growing in both output and impact,â&#x20AC;? he tells us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past five years, real improvements have occurred in the magnitude and quality of Canadian science and technology.â&#x20AC;? But when you dig up the report, The State of Science and Technology in Canada, 2012, you find out that half the 679 Canadian researchers sur-

veyed considered Canada to have lost ground across the five years that were studied. You find out that two key areas of endeavour, natural resources science and environmental science, experienced decline rather than improvement. Most importantly, you find out that the period of time encompassed by the study was 2005 to 2010â&#x20AC;&#x201D; long before the Conservative government took an axe to scientific funding, laying off thousands of scientists, slashing entire programs, and decimating research into environmental protection and stewardship in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and earth and environmental sciences. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard it all before. This is a government that withdrew from the

Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty with legally binding CO2 emission reductions targets. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a government that admitted cutting funding for the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy simply because it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the advice it was getting on climate change and the need for a carbon tax. This is a government whose replacement for the repealed Canadian Environmental Assessment Act guaranteed cancellation of 3,000 planned environmental assessmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;678 involving fossil fuel energy and 248 involving a pipeline. This is a government that eliminated funding to the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Lab, just when we most need data on the polar

atmosphere and climate. It reduced funding for response to oil spills, just when we might most need that capability. This is a government that changed the Fisheries Act to eliminate the protection of fish habitatsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a pesky obstacle to approval of the Northern Gateway Pipeline. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a government that threatens to find similar â&#x20AC;&#x153;efficienciesâ&#x20AC;? in the Species at Risk Act, again to facilitate pipeline approval. This is a government that eliminated funding for the internationally renowned Experimental Lakes Area and put its research facility up for a sale for a dollar, having built three new labs at the cost of $850,000 just three years ago. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that the government is complete-

ly anti-science. It has earmarked $1.1 billion for â&#x20AC;&#x153;innovation fundingâ&#x20AC;? in 2012â&#x20AC;&#x201D;money for pro-industry R&D and venture capital initiatives. What it no longer has one slim dime for is the basic scientific inquiry and monitoring that we need in order to have a sound understanding of our natural environment and our interactions with it, leading to sound policymaking and environmental protection. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the wrong era for sound policymaking and environmental protection. This is the era of the death of evidence and long life to the corporate profiteers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the era of shameless spin-doctoring. Keep it up, Mr. Cannan, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep on deconstructing it. Dianne Varga, Kelowna

â&#x2013;ź ELECTRICAL POWER

Would like Kelowna to reconsider sale of utility

To the editor: In the 1970s, Kelowna city council and the electrical manager decided to convert the overhead lines to an underground system and carry out a voltage conversion. There was an agreement between the city and West Kootenay Power and Light (WKPL) there

would be no under-build on the transmission poles owned by WKPL. Today, there are underbuilds on numerous streets since FortisBC has taken over the maintenance of the city electrical system. It seems the utility is going back to the 1900s when overhead lines were normal.

The staff at City Hall are saying the utility will have to spend a large sum of money on the maintenance of the system. I doubt that, as the system was built in the 1970s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. The city should only need to install new cables to meet the added power demand, as the existing

BC Hydro supplies power to WK

To the editor: Just had to drop a note regarding the ridiculously non-informed letter that Anita sent regarding the smart meters. (FortisBC Can Keep Hands off Analog Meter, Oct. 11 Capital News.) Firstly FortisBC does not operate the hydro for West Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this is all BC Hydro. Secondly, FortisBC does not skulk around at quarter past 10 at night, unless there is an emergency and then they are required to respond and fix the issueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;anytime of

the day or night. Thirdly, smart meters are being installed in all residences by BC Hydro in West Kelowna and there was ample opportunity to dispute this program. Fourthly, a residence cannot refuse to have these meters installed as this is now the mandate per BC Hydro. All residences living in West Kelowna received a very detailed, informative pamphlet and letter regarding the placement dates and information regarding why smart

meters are being introduced. And currently, despite Anitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims, Fortis does not have smart meters and as Mr. Pobran states (No Smart Meters Here Yet, Oct. 5 Capital News) he is absolutely correct that Fortis replaces meters periodically for Measurement Canada compliance, but these are not smart meters. I would like to suggest that Anita needs to write accurate facts when writing a letter to the paper. Dawn Bradley, West Kelowna

cables should last a lifetime if they are not overloaded, plus there is extra ducting on most streets. In my opinion, the price of $55 million (sale of Kelowna utility to FortisBC) is too low. The system has three substations with up-to-date switching gear, with many switches in the system and underground cables. In the 1980s, when the system was being built, the profit at the time was

about $1 million. If no rebuilding had been taking place, the profit would be in the region of $2 million. If the city had their own staff, the profit could be close to $4 million. I sincerely hope the city will reconsider the sale of its electrical supply system to FortisBC, in the interests of the citizens of Kelowna. Robert McAndrew, Kelowna

Tickle Trunk owners Hal and Deb Puder started the venture on Dilworth Drive before there was Internet, dollar stores or temporary Halloween stores. In response, the Tickle Trunk has closed the well-known store on Dilworth and the infamous Tickle Trunk Halloween store is now open at 184-1855 Kirschner Rd. in the Stewart Centre. Tickle Trunk is offering â&#x20AC;&#x153;hugeâ&#x20AC;? discounts on dĂŠcor, costumes, make up and wigs as they bow out of the Halloween business after this year for now. The balloon and party side of the business has now moved into their wedding and special events store, TTM Events at 1-1660 Powick Rd. The moniker which stands for Tickle Trunk & More is more fitting now than ever, as the two stores partner again to bring customers the very best in balloons, parties, special events and weddings.

f any of you have switched accountants, you probably are not aware of what happens behind the scenes after making such a move. Professionally designated accountants are required to follow a strict code of ethics. The Certified General Accountants code of ethics can be broken out into several sections. These sections are: a) Responsibilities to Society; b) Trust and Duties; c) Due Care and Professional Judgement; d) Deceptive Information; e) Professional Practice; f) Responsibilities to the Profession; g) Independence. So depending on the type of engagement and under Section e) Professional Practice, your new accountant is required to contact your previous accountant in writing letting them know that they have been asked to take over your account. That letter also needs to ask if there is any professional reason why the

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka new accountant should not take over the account. When your previous accountant receives this letter, they are required to respond promptly to it. They are required to co-operate with the new accountant and provide any information which they have prepared, that the new accountant has requested, in a timely manner provided that all outstanding billings have been paid. If they are in possession of any books or documents belonging to the client, they are required to return these upon request, whether or not the outstanding billings have been paid. The client may wish that these documents go directly to the new ac-

countant. Both the new and the old accountant need to recognize that the client’s interests are paramount. Even if you have not switched accountants and providing that all your bills have been paid, you have a right to inspect any financial record that pertains to you that is in your accountant’s hands at any time. Some other items under Section e) Professional Practice that are of note include CGAs not being allowed to engage in bidding practices for professional services that use unfair methods of competition. If we are referred a client because we need to perform a special service for that client, we can’t provide any other service for that client without the consent of the previous accountant. Any pro bono work needs to ensure that there are no independence issues, that qualified accountants will be performing the work and de-

We cannot accept a commission unless it is a fee resulting from the referral or transfer of a client between professional colleagues, such as a purchase or sale of a practice. We cannot receive commissions from investment dealers or insurance brokers for the trading of securities or the placement of insurance for clients. We cannot receive a fee for an audit, review engagement, compilation or tax return that is contingent on the outcome of those engagements.

If we would like to hire an employee currently employed by another firm, we need to first contact that firm and let them know of our intention. For those CGAs that are not in public practice, this section also requires that there be a realization that due to their professional designation, there will be reliance on their work and that the reputation of their place of employment may be enhanced due to their employment. All CGAs are required to encourage an ethics based culture in their organizations that emphasizes the importance of ethical behaviour. If a CGA believes that there is unethical behaviour occurring within the organization, the options are to obtain legal advice and try to remedy the situation, but if there are no remedies, then the only option is to resign.

Keeping up with the latest fashions can be such a daunting task for the everyday woman. Over the years, trends have come and gone, only to return decades later. This year one of the top trends is knitwear, from a classic cardigan to a beautiful scarf. Throw on a pair of leggings, a Cecil Benac knitted cardigan over a tank, and to top of the outfit, a heavenly pair of BedStu boots. Staying true to trends in years past, the art of layering is still in full effect, thank goodness! This is one that I truly hope never disappears. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so rewarding when I find a hidden treasure like Justin Paul Fashions, where I can literally make it a one stop shop and layer until my heart is content. My eyes are always instantly drawn to a storefront that has an eloquently-dressed mannequin in the window. The mannequin, though an inanimate object, seems to take on a personality, and come to life right in front of me. It creates a sense of urgency for me to see what else could possibly be waiting inside. Walking into Justin Paul Fashions was a bit of a whirlwind for me, there was so much to look at, and so much to touch. I had to convince myself to count to 10 and start at the beginning. I traced my steps back to the front door and began my journey of discovery. I quickly discovered some of the finest quality fashion I had ever set my eyes on. As I literally ran my hands down every handknitted article I could see, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think of the comfort that each article would surely bring me. Not to mention the fact that I could pair each piece with ease to practically every other piece of clothing in my wardrobe. In fact most of their lines have the ability to mix and match and layer away. It is truly some of the finest quality clothing I have been so lucky to come in contact with. Justin Paul Fashions is a win win for every woman.

In the bag By Sam Hill, Contributor It has been said, by many fashionistas, that an outfit is not complete without a great bag. I completely agree with this statement. For someone like me, who keeps her entire life with her at all times (aka my truck is a closet), a good bag is 100% necessary. Whether it be cross-body, a tote, a weekender, or a clutch, a bag must always be functional as well as stylish. Here are some tips to keep in mind when shopping for the perfect bag.. The Clutch is usually the least functional, but most stylish bag of the bunch. The fact that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold much and is hand held can sometimes cause me walk away from this pretty little piece, but wait, not so fast! The Clutch is perfect for a night out when all you need is the necessities and a little extra glamour. A brightly coloured clutch goes perfect with your slinky LBD, and a neutral one doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t distract from your fluorescent summer maxi dress. The Weekeneder is no longer just for sleepovers! This oversized, structured bag is sleek and practical and can hold

your laptop, your emergency make-up kit, and all of your books, no problem. (Okay, not that 50 pound Biology book, you need a suitcase for that one!) This bag can house everything easily and look classic with your early class comfys, just make sure that you hit the gym a few times before lugging this sucker around â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they get heavy pretty quickly! If you are one of those people who needs a coffee in each hand every morning then the Cross-Body bag is a must have. Hands free travelling is a wonderful thing! Not only does this slouchy style look great with a wide variety of outfits from casual to dressy, but it can also be a great alternative to the classic backpack â&#x20AC;&#x201C; back pain be gone! The Cross-Body bag can come in either a small purse or a larger satchel style. The Tote is another great choice for packing around your life.. and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so pretty! As Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mentioned before my favourite back to school purchase was a brown monogramed Michael Kors tote and I have used it almost every day since. Classy, sleek, holds plenty, and can be paired with most outfits, this bag is functional and stylish. Did I mention it looks pretty? One thing can be said for sure, a good bag not only makes life easier, but also finishes an outfit perfectly. Happy shopping!

Sun players stopped ‘responding’ to dismissed coach Okanagan Sun prepare for Vancouver Island Raiders under interim coach Paul Carson Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

One of the last places Paul Carson expected to be during the 2012 B.C. Football Conference season was back on the sidelines. As it is, the Okanagan Sun’s current team president and former assistant will serve as the club’s interim head coach for this Saturday’s semifinal playoff game in Nanaimo against the Vancouver Island Raiders. Carson will be filling in for Gavin Lake who was dismissed Monday from his head coaching duties with the Sun. Lake, who was hired this spring, guided a young Sun squad to a disappointing 3-7 record this season, including a dismal 1-4 showing at the Apple Bowl. The club’s lethargic and uninspired 48-6 drubbing at the hands of the visiting Langley Rams on Saturday afternoon was the final chapter for Lake. “I think there had been some concern for a few weeks about the team, and the big thing that brought it to a head on the weekend was how the team was reacting and responding to the coach,” said Carson, in his first season as Sun president. “I think Gavin did everything he could to try to motivate the guys and make the team successful but really, on the weekend, it seemed like he just wasn’t being heard any more. “(GM) Jay (Christensen) and I were around

Paul Carson the team enough to know Gavin was doing everything he could. It just wasn’t working.” Carson said the Sun’s board of directors wrestled over the timing of the dismissal, but ultimately decided the sooner the club started planning for the future, the better. In fairness to both Lake and the team, Carson conceded the 2012 edition of the club probably “wasn’t where it needed to be talent-wise”—particularly with the late departures of all-stars like Matt Walker, Brennan Van Nistelrooy and Dan Turek. Still, in an organization where winning has been an ingrained tradition for more than 30 years, a meagre three victories fell well short of expectations. “Nobody expected or wanted to be where we are right now,” Carson said. Adding to the challenge was the unexpected move of Jason Casey to the CIS this spring, leaving the Sun with a tight timeline when it came to both the hiring of a head coach and getting him familiarized with his new team.

From Lake’s perspective, the 40-year-old Richmond Hill, Ont., native felt like he was playing a game of catch-up from the earliest stages of the season. “I came late to the dance, I didn’t start until May 1 and I wasn’t in on a lot of the recruiting, so I was really starting from square one with all new faces and a new team,” Lake said. “I always seemed to be behind the 8-ball, I never seemed to catch up and just couldn’t right the ship in time. I didn’t get the most out of what I needed to and I feel bad, I feel bad for the Sun. I thank them for the opportunity and wish the team the best.” Lake, who also has CFL, CIS and European coaching experience was hired in April to replace Casey who left for a coaching job at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont. Lake was the club’s third head coach in as many seasons and fourth in five years. Peter McCall took over from Jay Christensen in 2009, then was dismissed prior to the 2011 campaign. While Carson will assume the role for at least one game, he assures he won’t be filling the post next season. He says the club will initiate its search for a new head coach immediately following the 2012 season. As for this weekend’s playoff matchup with the rival Vancouver Island Raiders, Carson said the underdog Sun have an op-

GAVIN LAKE was removed this week from his head coaching duties with the Okanagan Sun. portunity to salvage the year with one solid effort. “My hope is that some of these kids get a charge out of this change and take it out on to the field with them,” Carson said. “Some of the kids will

be somewhat disappointed but it shouldn’t change their performance. “The bottom line is it’s a great opportunity. The (Raiders) are a great team and they’re going to be prepared. Our guys have

shown they can play there. Hopefully this turns out to be a big win for us.” The Sun and Raiders kick off the BCFC semifinal Saturday at 1 p.m. at Caledonia Park. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Ten games into the 2012-13 Western Hockey League campaign, the Kelowna Rockets have precisely the same record (4-5-1) as a year ago. But as the coaches and returning players are all likely to tell you, there’s a dramatically different feeling inside and outside the club’s dressing room this season. An older, more unified group than in 2011-12, the Rockets don’t expect to be playing sub-.500 hockey for too long. “I think this group is a lot more receptive to what we’re trying to do as a team,” said head coach Ryan Huska. “They understand our expectations much better and, with the exception of a few bad penalties, we could have a few more points than we do. “Our goal is to challenge to be one of the better teams in this league,”

Heat host York in men’s hoops; women prep for Canada West The UBC Okanagan Heat men’s basketball

squad will host York University Thursday night

in the first of two exhibition basketball games this

week on campus. Tip-off at the Kelowna campus

gym is 7 p.m. Then on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m., the visitors will be Montana State Northern. The Heat continued their tune up for the new Canada West campaign at the Calgary Cup last weekend where they won one of three games in the pre-season tournament. “It was a great chance to see where we are at,” said the team’s leading scorer from last season Yassine Ghomari, a guard from Vancouver going into his fourth year, after playing in the Calgary tournament that gave him a chance to play and watch other CIS schools at this point in the season. Head coach for UBC Okanagan, Pete Guarasci, echoed his guard’s sentiments on the three games. “The Calgary Cup was an excellent opportunity to see up close what Canada West and OUA teams are like. It gave us a good idea of the level we will need to compete at to be successful.” On Thursday, Pete Guarasci’s crew dropped a 73-68 decision to Brock. Azi Fahandeg-Sadi led the Heat with 15 points. On Friday, UBCO bounced back with a 7573 victory over Western. Fahandeg-Sadi led the charge with 21 points, while Ghomari added 19 points. On Saturday, the Heat fell 84-57 to Windsor. Ed Dane Medi paced UBCO with 11 points.

On Friday, after a hard fought battle the Heat fell to the Vikes 88-78. On Saturday, a slightly different story for UBC Okanagan, as their offense was unable to score at the Vikes pace. The Heat fell to Victoria with a final score of 83-64. “The games were

good strong competition, exactly what we need at this time of the season,” reflects Heat’s head coach Heather Semeniuk. Fifth-year Heat guard Madison Kaneda was her team’s leading point scorer both nights, with 19 points on Friday and 23 points on Saturday. Guard Sarah Allison, a transfer from the University of Calgary added 17 points on Saturday.

The defending provincial gold medalists looked

every bit like a championship team, winning seven straight matches and clinching the 2012 title Saturday with a convincing 2-0 win over Langley Fundamental. The Owls most exciting match of the tournament was an all-Kelowna affair in the quarterfinals as KSS outdueled the KCS Knights 2-1.

Cayte Wilson, Megan Witala and Erin Konrad were all named to the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-star team.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cayte was definitely the best player in the tournament and Erin Konrad was huge at the net. She was the best blocker in the tournament and a huge offensive force for us,â&#x20AC;? said Owls coach Tony Sodaro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Megan Witala was the top Libero in the tournament, with some amazing dig and extremely consistent passing.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katie Valgardson was our go to player all weekend long and Gabby Down did a great job setting while Cayte Wilson was in the front row hitting. All three of our middles played great.â&#x20AC;? The Kelowna Christian Knights defeated Kalamalka to finish in fifth spot overall out of 48 girls teams.

OWLS BOYS 4TH, OKM 5TH

Rockets feel like family

The host KSS Owls took fourth place out of 38 teams on the boys draw of the Best of the West tournament. In a strong power pool loaded with some of the top AAA teams in B.C, the Owls finished a

solid second. In the playoff KSS advanced as far as the semifinals before losing to Edmonton Harry Ainlay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;KSS had incredible passing from Ty Campbell all weekend, but struggled in the hitting department late in the tournament,â&#x20AC;? said Owls coach Mike Sodaro, whose team is ranked No. 3 in B.C. at the AAA level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another great passer was libero Jory Dickie, who stepped up defensively for the team.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good finish for us and we look forward to improving offensively over the next two weeks.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, the OKM Huskies proved they be-

longed on the same court as the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top programs with a fifth-place showing, their best-ever finish at Best of the West. The Huskies advanced to the quarterfinals of the championship round where they lost to the eventual champions, Fraser Heights, 25-21, 2517. OKM then defeated Delta to claim a tie for fifth with Earl Marriot. OKM had some allstar performances, including from Grade 11 phenom Isaac Smit who blasted his way to a teamleading 97 kills over the weekend. Backing him up was Alex Beitel who was a workhorse on the offense with 29 kills.

Rockets from A17 he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and when we have a healthy group, this room feels like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of winning a lot of hockey games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our older guys have done a good job and this is more like a family than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in some time.â&#x20AC;? After playing seven of their first 10 games on the road, the Rockets are home for a pair of games this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thursday night against Prince George and Saturday against the Brandon Wheat Kings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 11 of our first 16 on the road, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take advantage of these home games, improve on the way we played on the road and play with the right energy,â&#x20AC;? Huska said. One challenge the Rockets will be facing, at least in the short-term, is a depth shortage up front. Centre Ryan Olsen is sitting out a three-game suspension as the result of a check to the head major Saturday in Victoria, while fellow forwards Zach Franko (day-today), Carter Rigby (three weeks) and J.T. Barnett (two weeks) are all sidelined with injuries. To help fill the void, 16-year-old defenceman Riley Stadel will move up and play forward for the next couple of games.

SPORTS ▼ FIGURE SKATING

Kelowna skaters take gold and bronze at Kamloops meet The Kelowna Skating Club captured 12 medals, including six gold, last weekend in Kamloops at the BC/YT Section Super Series Autumn Leaves Freeskate competition. Nine of the 37 Kelowna entries participated in categories that do not award medals, but rather receive detailed assessments. A highlight for the Kelowna skaters was taking the gold and bronze medals in the Novice Women’s event, which featured all of B.C.’s top skaters at that level. Julianne Delaurier, 14,

won both segments with a personal best total score of 108.53, while teammate Monika Randall won the bronze. Kelowna’s Dana Bobyn just missed the podium to finish fourth, while Madison Jenson and Priscilla Sabang finished seventh and eighth, respectively. Another highlight for the KSC occurred at the Pre-Juvenile Under 11 level, as Kelowna skaters took both gold medals. Olivia Gran and Ashley Sales won their respective groups, while Alyssa Dobbs and Daria Carr

finished fifth and 10th, respectively, in their individual groups. Also winning gold medals were Carter Hiob, Kaiya MacLeod, and Taylor Sheardown, at the Star 4 Boys, Star 4 Girls Under 13, and Junior Silver Women’s divisions. In the highly competitive Pre-Novice Under 14 Women’s event, which also featured most of B.C.’s top skaters, 13 year-old Rachel Pettitt of Whitehorse, YT, but trains at Kelowna, won the silver medal. At the Junior level, Kelowna’s Cailey England

finished with the bronze medal. “Overall, it was a solid weekend for our club at all levels”, noted KSC Director Jason Mongrain. “The performances are trending upwards, which is exactly what we want to see at this time of year, as we head into the Provincials next month. Right now it is going to be about fine tuning the details and improving consistency.” The next stop for Kelowna skaters is the B.C. and Yukon Sectional Championships, which will be held at Parksville from Nov. 8-11.

Kelowna Lions, West Kelowna Sun Devils tied for top spot

With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Kelowna Lions and West Kelowna Sun Devils remain tied for top spot in the junior bantam division of the Southern Interior Football Conference. Both teams were easy winners on Sunday to boost their records to 7-1. The Lions blanked the Kelowna Dragons 51-0. r The Lions rolled up 379 yards on offense and scored six touchdowns, three by Taylor Knoll, and one each from Tyrone Japson, Chancelor Bevanda and Justin Paige.

The Lions defense was also stalwart in the win, holding the Dragons to fewer than 60 yards of total offense. Team development is the most important thing we work on during the year and (the Lions) are truly coming together as a football team,” said Lions coach Arden Knoll. In other action, the West Kelowna Sun Devils downed Vernon 36-8. Nate Humes rushed for more than 200 yards and scored three touchdowns in the win. Nick Kopp and Chris Smith also scored majors, while Jacob Mezei and Salem Clark each threw a TD pass.

“We as coaches are thrilled with the team effort these boys continue to put together week in and vweek out,” said Sun Devils coach Chris Smith.

PEEWEE

The Kelowna Lions are 7-1 in peewee action after a 37-0 victory over the Dragons. Lions touchdowns came from Dylan Ephicke, Aedan Alphonso, Zander Torres, Cain Moore and Myles Whiteside. In other action, Vernon downed West Kelowna 39-0.

▼ BRIEFS

The 42nd Annual Ski, Board and Sport Swap, hosted by the Kelowna Ski Club, will be held this weekend at the New Life Vineyard Church, 2041 Harvey Ave. The Kelowna Ski Club is the second longest running ski club in the province starting in the 1960s. This year a ‘more for less’ approach is a theme motivating the KSC. Removing financial barriers has been a major focus of the Ski Club executive this year and making the sport more affordable for all families in our community is a key objective. The ski swap “Enables families to purchase great equipment at great prices” said Catherine Martin, Kelowna Ski Club President “We have also revamped all our entry level programs by reducing cost and including a hot-lunch program.”

While reducing cost for participants has taken priority this season the annual operating costs remain high and government grants are less which makes the ski swap a very crucial fundraiser for the club. “This is the clubs first large fundraiser of the season and the second largest overall, said Ian Tomlin, the Kelowna Ski Club Swap Coordinator. “Monies from this event go directly into the operating budget to run the club for the year. These also help to keep fees down allowing more skiers and families access to the training that children see through the Kelowna Ski Club.” Those interested in putting items in the swap can drop them off this Friday between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. The swap itself will be held on Saturday from 8

a.m. to 3 p.m.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL… LifeMark Physio opened the new Kelowna Women’s Basketball League season Sunday with a 74-32 victory over Blue Steel. Mandy Trenholm, with 19 points, and Marni Richardson, with 17. led the winners. Jen Laird had 12 points for Blue Steel. In other action, Kim Whelpton netted 22 points to lead Servco Surge past Lakeview Market 83-28.

Bailey Radley added 17 in the win, while Liesel Young led the Rainmakers with six points. Meghan Faust scored 24 points as Triple Threat routed Crazy 8s 82-15. Adri Misfeldt had 18 in the win, Becca Mabbett scored six for the 8s. Laura Campbell had 16 points and Ashlee Williams added 11 as Lake Country Building Centre beat the Rookies 67-52. Carrie Snaychuk had 13 in the defeat.

Prince George novellist Neil Godbout will debut his second book, titled Dissolve, at Mosaic Books in downtown Kelowna on Friday, Oct. 26, 7 to 8:30 p.m. Dissolve is the second book of the Broken Guardian trilogy and the sequel to Disintegrate, released last year. It is a young adult urban fantasy, set in Kelowna and Prince George, with briefs stops in Vancouver, Ottawa, Los Angeles and London. Sean Cummings, the Saskatoon-based urban fantasy author of Poltergeeks, calls Dissolve “intelligent fiction for young adults who are tired of the same old fare.” In Dissolve, Sam and Lily are reunited after a summer apart but Lily craves to be more human and Sam wants to be more of…well, whatever he’s becoming. Meanwhile, other forces are lining up against them, including someone who will force both Sam and Lily to make horrible choices that will change them forever. Godbout is the managing editor of the Prince George Citizen newspaper and a former reporter with the Capital News. He has won provincial and national recognition for his newspaper work during 25 years as an editor, reporter and photographer. Godbout attended high school in Lake Country and is a graduate of George Elliot Secondary School. His parents are enjoying their retirement years living in Kelowna.

ber of breaths and the length of time you maintain the muscle activation. Also see if you can keep the rest of the body relaxed, trying to avoid creating new tension in other areas, such as your neck and shoulders. Remember that this will take practice; like learning to ride a bike, it may take some time to master. The goal is to work towards being able to maintain the breathing and gentle activation of the core muscles before layering in other movements, such your daily activities (e.g. lifting a bag of groceries or placing dishes in the dishwasher). You can also try to incorporate these ideas into your recreational activities as well. For example, see if you can find your breath and your core muscle activation before your next set of bicep curls at the gym. See if you can do the same while biking, running or kayaking. Over time, the breath will flow easier and the muscle activations more automatic. Then you can stand a little taller and tell your friends, “I do Pilates!” If you have an injury, dysfunction or problem, your physiotherapist can develop a specific exercise routine that is specific for you and your condition. An assessment by your physiotherapist will usually reveal which areas need to be addressed.

Rockets lace up in pink for breast cancer fight

The Kelowna Rockets will add some pink to their lines at their WHL game on Saturday in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The Rockets will don special jerseys, pink skate laces and pink hockey tape as they take on the Brandon Wheat Kings, 7 p.m., at Prospera Place for their annual Pink Power Play night. The team invites their fans to wear pink as well for a chance to win a great door prize. A pink puck toss will be happening during the game as well. For a $5 donation, fans will have a chance to hit the targets on the ice with their pucks and win prizes. The Rockets will also auction off their pink jerseys with proceeds going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. “It’s exciting to have the Kelowna Rockets on board in support of the breast cancer cause,” says Barb Hoy, volunteer co-run director for Kelowna’s Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. “They all have mothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends and that means breast cancer can have an impact on their lives. ”

UBCO students are buying into recycling

Matching skills to where the jobs are I

had quite a few emails on my column about the Alberta career fair that I thought I would follow-up on opportunities on accessing jobs and education. Another type of exhibitor that I saw at the career fair were companies helping other companies find workers—in other words, they are employment brokers. Companies often pay a fee to these human resource firms who then find them the kind of employees they are looking for. This often includes finding those workers with particular skills and education. Some of these firms also offer services to employees, which includes career planning, resume writing, computer training and coaching in interview techniques. But most large companies have their own recruitment personnel and some spend a lot of time

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens building a strategy to attract workers. This is especially important for oil companies who are trying to recruit workers to remote locations and at the same time require specific skills and technical qualifications. Besides sending recruiters to career fairs these companies look at a number of ways to find and a attract workers. Today, any large organization in need of workers should have a website tailored to sell their company to potential employees. These websites should be comprehensive enough to provide browsers with information about what jobs are available, what

skills these jobs require and where are they located. Although not all companies do this, they should include an approximate salary for each position. On top of this, any company in a competitive cluster such as the oil sands and facing a shortage of workers should advertise any incentives they have to attract workers. These should include benefits, vacation time, pensions, profit sharing and much more. Beside companies, there are organizations such as the Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada that try to help companies secure a stable work force. One of the goals of this organization is to help the oil industry attract skilled talent. According to the Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada they expect a 73 per cent increase in the number jobs in the oil sands by 2021.

This support comes through by ensuring that programs at both colleges and universities are providing the right education and training to meet current demands. At the federal level it includes making it easier for workers outside of Canada to come here and work and to provide retraining opportunities for the unemployed. It takes a lot of work and collaboration to get the right people with the right skills to go where the jobs are, that’s what makes this such a daunting task.

UBCO students are recycling more and throwing away fewer coffee cups and paper. That’s the finding a new waste audit done on the university’s campus recently. Student volunteers sorted through two days worth of trash from every major building on the UBC Okanagan campus as part of the waste audit. The audit, which was held in the courtyard assesses the amount and types of items being put in the garbage that could otherwise be recycled, refunded or composted. And UBCO officials say the results from are promising. “This year’s audit found that there is a drop in the amount of disposable cups (three per cent less) and paper (four per cent less) in the trash since the 2010 audit, as well as less trash overall from previous years,” said the university in a news release issue Monday. The results also showed that the amount of plastics in the recycling continues to increase—up 10 per cent since 2010—and so has the amount of compostable material due to the increase in biodegradable food containers and paper towels being composted. Al King, UBC’s manager of maintenance and grounds, said the results are trending in the right direction. “Our campus continues to improve its waste management efforts,” said King.

Today, there are 20,304 people employed in the oil sands—this number is expected to reach 35,000 by 2021. Eighty-five per cent of these workers are actually on-site, which means they are probably living in a camp. It is this type of growth which makes it important that the oil sands companies receive the support they need from organizations such as the council. Their website provides information to companies on how to attract and retain workers, and develop and implement human resource strategies. And lastly, governments both provincial and federal play a huge role.

Catch a ride to work, reduce car emissions and win prizes October 22 to 26 is the Okanagan’s sixth annual Carpool Week. Spice up your lonely commute by squeezing a

few co-workers into your car—or leave your car at home and catch a ride with a neighbour. “We are encourag-

ing residents of The Central Okanagan to give carpooling a try,” said Mike Kittmer, Active Transportation coordinator for the

City of Kelowna. “Carpool.ca is funded in part by the City and its partners, to provide a tool to help you find a carpool

match.” Carpool.ca is an initiative that reflects smartTRIPS commitment to providing opportunities

for residents to reduce their drive-alone travel. The goal of Carpool Week is to increase commuter awareness of car-

pooling as a convenient way to save money while reducing congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. “Participants of Carpool Week can win great prizes such as a GPS navigation system, free gas and more,” said Kittmer. Some residents are taking an extra step and giving up their car completely. “We are really excited to have the Okanagan CarShare Cooperative developing the Okanagan’s first car share program. It’s a great alternative for those who occasionally need a car, rather than owning one, or owning that second vehicle that’s seldom used,” said Kittmer. The Okanagan CarShare Cooperative is currently under development and will be having a membership launch on Nov. 8. For more information on carpooling, or to register for Carpool Week, visit www.carpool.ca. Additional information about alternative forms of transportation in the Central Okanagan, including carpooling and car sharing can be found at smartTRIPS.ca. The smartTRIPS program is a regional partnership between the City of Kelowna, Regional District of Central Okanagan and District of West Kelowna.

Winfield-Oyama highway upgrade project progressing

n my last two quarterly construction updates, I compared the Winfield-Oyama highway upgrading project to an iceberg, because the vast majority of work is behind the scenes. But as work progresses, and we get nearer to completion, I’m starting to rethink that analogy. Perhaps a more apt analogy would be a much-anticipated vacation. I wrote that “nobody

MLA’S REPORT

Norm Letnick enjoys traffic delays due to construction, but hopefully that frustration is eased if you know more about the project and its progress.” Just like you proba-

bly can’t help but daydream about your next vacation from time to time, you can probably start to imagine the benefits of the highway project: faster and safer travel for commuters, residents, and tourists alike. The Winfield-Oyama project involves constructing a nine-kilometre four-lane highway west of the existing two-lane section of Highway 97 between Winfield and Oyama.

The construction commenced on May 28, 2011, and is (still!) scheduled to be completed in summer 2013. I’m pleased to report that as of September 2012, total construction is approximately 60 per cent complete. The project is both on schedule and on budget. Since my last update, you may have noticed the Gatke Road Overpass is near completion, about 95 per cent done.

Also nearing completion is construction of two recreational steel underpasses for Old Mission Road and Lake Country Access, also approximately 95 per cent complete. The Woods Lake Overpass is not far behind, approximately 75 per cent completed. Since the project began, approximately 650,000 cubic metres of rock and 660,000 cubic metres of soils have been

DAYS CARING October is Community Living Month in British Columbia, celebrating all of the ways that individuals with development disabilities are valuable and contributing members of our communities.

These individuals are pitching in at charities to make community life better for everyone, and they are making a big difference through their hard work!

excavated. More than 1,300,000 cubic metres of material have been excavated, moved and placed in embankments to date—approximately 80 per cent of the total quantities on this project. Work will continue on those over- and underpasses until complete, as well as drilling, blasting, excavations, embankment construction, and placement of base gravels. As you may recall, the $40.83-million construction contract was awarded to Nanaimo’s Windley

Contracting (2010) Ltd. on March 25, 2011. The overall project budget is $77.9 million, with a $33.6 million contribution from the federal government of Canada under the Building Canada Plan. As always, if you have any questions or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me via my constituency office, or on Facebook or Twitter. Norm Letnick is the MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country and Minister of Agriculture.

Living Greener calendar now available If you want a 2013 Living Greener Calendar mailed to you the first week of January, you need to register for one before Oct. 31 with the Regional Waste Reduction Office. The Living Greener calendar is a handy guide for year round reference. It includes info on garbage, recycling and yard waste collection dates and drop off locations, plus community events, and useful reference phone numbers. It highlights where to take your hazardous waste, who to call about pesticides, and a recycling directory so you can find out where to recycle almost everything in the Central Okanagan, from batteries to power tools or used books. Regional waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart says their office no longer mass mails the calendars to all residents who take part in the curbside collection program. “We’re striving to re-

duce our impact on the environment and eliminate unnecessary waste by producing and mailing only as many calendars as required,” Stewart said. “We recognize patterns of behaviour for accessing information are changing, and with more and more people reliant on the Internet and mobile technology, printed material is often redundant for many.” Stewart reminds residents that the Living Greener Calendar is also available in the form of a smartphone app. The ‘mywaste’ app is free to download and is as informative as the Living Greener Calendar but with improved functionality and added features such as collection day reminders. To receive your 2013 Living Greener calendar in the mail, register online at regionaldistrict.com/ recycle by Oct. 31, or by phone at 250-469-6250.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ ON TOUR

Chance to hear Royal Wood in intimate restaurant setting Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

In the music biz, they call it a hold. Here in Kelowna, we could call it a golden opportunity. When Royal Wood tried to secure the Mary Irwin Theatre for his tour stop this month, he apparently was told another artist had dibs on the space. And so, when the prolific songwriter returns to the Okanagan next week, he will be doing the only small venue concert of his Canadian tour, with a oneof-a-kind set list sampling his extensive repertoire and offering unparalleled access to the artist. “It will be more about listening to me on the piano and guitar and the other members will be doing a lot of stripped down horns…Instead of big keyboards,” he said. This is what separates the men from the boys as professional musicians go—that ability to adjust to another instrument, another arrangement, a

quickly cobbled together composition intended to cope with gaps in the show on the fly. “Everyone in this outfit are masters of their craft,” said Wood, noting he’s very lucky to have found the best of the best. Married to fellow Canadian musician Sarah Slean, another force to be reckoned with as a songwriter and composer, Wood says he knows his wife is a major influence on his music, though never in a conscious way. Rather than overt obsessions over relationship drama, Wood’s nonetheless romantic, crooning has been compared to everyone from Hawksley Workman to Rufus Wainwright, likely for his ability to tackle the breadth of emotion life has to offer. The new album he is touring, We Were Born to Glory, is about life in the larger sense of the word and experience. “This record represents a celebration of life and all the aspects of it,”

he states in his promotional literature. “Not just love and loss, but life on a grand scale—knowing that we are born as a seed of potential to be anything we want. Life is about balance, but often we can get so caught up in the drama of everyday interaction that we take for granted just being alive.” For all this professed depth, Wood is still a decently lighthearted entertainer and is looking forward to another intimate, get-to-know-you style concert in the small room known for its backyard tree, the Minstrel Café. Just back from Europe, Wood admits there isn’t another room he can think of like the Minstrel in Canada, though on the continent he might compare it to Whelan’s, a Dublin watering hole known for its exceptional music and cabaret-style seating. As for inspiration, he says the well has never run dry to date. “Personal relationships, things on a grander scale, a human

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.

Rick Davis Diary of a Mad Black Woman and ending with Madea’s Witness Protection. Now he is branching out into something new playing author James Patterson’s character of Alex Cross. This isn’t the first time the character has appeared on-screen as Mor-

gan Freeman starred as Cross in both Kiss The Girls and Along Came ASpider. Based upon the simply titled Cross, the 12th novel in Patterson’s series, Perry stars as the police detective and psychologist who meets his match in the form of a new serial killer called “The Butcher” (Matthew Fox). An ex-operative who is able to predict every step of the police service, he easily escapes after killing his victims. But when The Butcher makes it personal, Cross is pushed to the edge of his

moral and psychological limits. With a supporting cast of not only Fox, but Jean Reno, Cicely Tyson, Rachel Nichols, John C. McGinley and Giancarlo Esposito, it may not thrill critics, but it may entertain audiences. Starring Anthony Hopkins, Jude Law, Rachel Weisz and Ben Foster, 360 is a dramatic thriller that weaves together the stories of an array of people from disparate backgrounds through their intersecting See Davis B4

BEHIND THE SCREEN

n 1979, a revolution in Iran left many dead, and many fearing for their lives. As the U.S. Embassy is overtaken by revolutionaries and several U.S. citizens were taken hostage, six staffers managed to take refuge in the Canadian Embassy, which was close by. For 144 days, the Canadian Ambassador (played here by Canadian actor Victor Garber) and his wife, risking certain death if found to be harbouring U.S. citizens, managed to keep the men and women hidden—no easy feat. In this film, directed by the film’s star Ben Affleck, who plays the CIA guy responsible for the idea of getting the six out of the country by passing them off as a movie crew; the name of the movie

Susan Steen being Argo. One embassy employee who did much in the real saga was not mentioned and someone’s take on this show was the “we were portrayed as innkeepers, waiting for the U.S. to save the day.” Yes, there is some of that. God Bless ’em, but we’ve all seen World War II movies, where our neighbours from the south, always win the war. And really, if we wanted to make ourselves feel good, we could have done a Hollywood-type film about the War of 1812, where we (well, the

‘‘

THIS FILM HAS MOMENTS OF TENSION, LEVITY, EXCITEMENT AND ACTION AND IT’S WORTH THE COUPLE OF HOURS

In fact, Taylor himself has said: “The entire Canadian Embassy was at play, I don’t think it (the film) gives credit to Canada and I made that pretty clear.” To his credit, Affleck asked Taylor to re-write the post script, which he did.

Ambassador Taylor, who began his diplomatic career in1951 as a trade counsellor in Guatemala, Pakistan and the UK, received 112 citations and is portrayed as a brave guy who took great risks to ensure the safety of those in his care. Taylor is the founder and partner in the consulting firm of Taylor and Ryan. This show was well done—Affleck, who needed a hit, has one. Even if Taken 2 eclipsed Argo in the box office, Argo did manage to grab $20 million in box office revenues in its first weekend. Other actors of note in this show are Bryan Cranston as Jack O’Donnel, Alan Arkin as Lester Siegel (who knew he used to sing with the folk group The Tarriers?) and John Goodman as John Chambers. Goodman noted for his role as Dan Conner on

the TV show, Roseanne, 1988-1997) who all are just terrific in their respective parts. There are several funny lines, like this one: “The target audience will hate it.” “Who’s the target audience?” “Anyone with eyes.” So, despite my whining about how Canada is perceived, I truly enjoyed Argo (it helped to remember the history and know how it ends). This film has moments of tension, levity, excitement and action and it’s worth the couple of hours, if only to once again, bask in the moment when Canada came to the rescue of the Americans. I give Argo four reels—and stay for the postscript. Susan Steen is a local non-profit executive and a movie buff. susansteen1234@shaw.ca

NEWS ▼ ACUPUNCTURE

Finding relief for symptoms of nausea

ausea is a common ailment with many different causes, from stomach flu, morning sickness and medications to vertigo, motion sickness, migraines, surgery, cancer treatment and the foods we eat. Morning sickness is a type of nausea commonly experienced during the first trimester of pregnancy. It varies in severity and there is no clear cause, although it is thought to be the result of hormonal changes in the body. In Western medicine, we can treat nausea at home with plenty of rest and sipping small amounts of fluids to stay hydrated, eventually moving to small amounts of bland, easily-digested foods. Of course if there is no real change over a long period of time, other, more serious, medical conditions should be considered. Acupuncture offers great relief for nausea and vomiting with little or no side-effects. There has been a great deal of research into the benefits of acupuncture for nausea caused by chemotherapy, radiation, pregnancy, morning sickness, surgery, and HIV, demonstrating its effectiveness for nausea. Nausea and vomiting are signs that the stomach qi-energy is flowing in the wrong direction.

Normally, the action of the stomach is to move food downwards. However, sometimes the stomach energy will begin to flow upwards due to a disorder of James the stomach, typically due Kaufman to stomach vacuity, cold, heat, dampness, or food stagnation in the stomach. Depending on the type of pattern, there may be a variety accompanying symptoms ranging from bloating and loss of appetite to headaches, dizziness, chest pain, and acid reflux. Acupuncture focuses on harmonizing the stomach energy and promoting the proper flow of qi-energy so that the stomach is functioning properly again. We combine this with correcting any other presenting imbalances such as warming the stomach if there is cold, draining fire for stomach heat, and drying dampness. A series of treatments is typically necessary to resolve nausea or vomiting, although relief can be quite immediate. Indeed, as many studies have shown, acupuncture can be very effective for the relief of nausea, whatever the cause.

North Glenmore Elementary fundraiser shares ‘green’ attitude School spirit is coloured green this year at North Glenmore Elementary thanks to a new Buy, Sell and Barter Day. This event embraces the three Rs—reduce, reuse and recycle—while helping raise money for future projects. Doors are open to the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct.27. Admission of $2 per family, or a non-perishable donation to the food bank. Two door prize draws of double passes to any of the Kelowna Actor’s Studio shows will be awarded. All entrants can bring one item for barter, while those renting tables will also have an item up for barter. Money collected at the door will go to the food bank, while dollars earned at the concession booth will fund a Grade 6 leader’s event. Proceeds from table rentals run by the Parent Advisory Council and others will be directed toward the school’s technology fund. Shevaune Battiston, a school parent advisory

council member and an organizer of Buy, Sell and Barter Day, says this idea sprang from her own experiences using Internetbased, buy, sell and barter groups. “Using local Facebook buy and sell groups and seeing so many other moms out there participating—buying snowsuits and other items—it just made sense to get everyone together in one convenient spot,” Battiston said. “And it’s a social thing, too. People can meet and have lunch. If we get the numbers we’re hoping for, maybe it will turn into an annual event.” Enthusiasm, she says, has been infectious, but the school is still looking for help from local businesses who would like to donate prizes or rent a table. Students have also been active in the process, says Battiston, volunteering to help with the concession and admission table as well as set-up and tear-down. “It would have been nice to have a few students perform unplugged

throughout the day for atmosphere, but so far we haven’t had much luck. Maybe we can find a few adult volunteers for that job.” To help out with this event, contact Shevaune Battiston at murkatbat@ live.com or call the school at 250-762-3535.

Multi-million dollar road maintenance deal approved Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The District of West Kelowna has come to terms on a new road maintenance services contract just weeks before the current road maintenance agreement is scheduled to end. HMC Services Inc. will be responsible for looking after the district’s roads for the next five years. In return, West Kelowna will pay the contractor a minimum of $1.73 million annually. Argo Industries Ltd. has been responsible for maintaining West Kelowna roads since 2007 through an Offer of Assistance from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, which helped the young municipality through its first five years of incorporation. “This is the last scheduled big piece of transition from provincial

and regional district governance to municipal governance,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. The mayor added the agreement is a “good deal” for West Kelowna, and will have minimal impact on the taxpayer. Coun. Bryden Winsby noted the deal was made just in time. “This was, if not an 11th hour exercise, certainly damn close to it. There were plan Bs and plan Cs. I really congratulate (staff) on what they’ve done,” said Winsby. Initially the Westside looked at providing the service in-house; however, quickly realized the substantive costs associated with that option. Road maintenance was the top concern in West Kelowna’s citizens’ survey this year. Road issues in general have topped the list for the last five years. “With that, council gave us the dir-

tain the total cost within the annual price. Although the contract is five years long, director of engineering and operations Gary O’Rourke is optimistic that HMC Services Inc. and West Kelowna will be able to work together beyond that. “In our discussions with the contractor, both parties said, on a regular basis, we really want to build up a relationship—hopefully something longer term,” said O’Rourke. Once the service begins, a callcentre service will be put in place for residents to report road maintenance issues. HMC Services Inc. is also the road maintenance provider for the District of Lake Country; in 2011 the business was named the deputy minister’s contractor of the year for highways maintenance. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Road conditions top concerns registered in citizens’ survey Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Road issues have topped the list of dissatisfactory services in the West Kelowna citizens’ survey for the fifth straight year. The annual survey was mailed to 1,000 random residents and 321 completed forms were returned to the district. This year’s survey asked residents to identify the neighbourhood they live in to help the district

better determine top priorities for each area. Survey results were also broken down by demographics. Chief financial officer Jim Zaffino said the six services that didn’t meet expectations in 2011 were repeated on the 2012 list, as well as street lighting, bylaw enforcement and building inspection. The youngest demographic surveyed—25 to 34-year-olds—said beaches were the service most in need of improvements. Services that exceeded expecta-

tions in 2011 were repeated exactly in 2012. The items Westside residents are most happy with include: Yard waste, sewage treatment collection, Johnson-Bentley pool, the public library, arenas, sports fields and West Kelowna’s website. Zaffino said majority of respondents were also satisfied with the performance of their local government. The 541-page 2012 report on the survey will be made available online at districtofwestkelowna.ca.

Eagerly anticipated legislative bills will be up for a vote W ith the House of Commons back in session this week, there will be a number of different votes occurring on important legislative bills Bill C-43, Removal of Foreign Criminals Act, will be voted on at the conclusion of second reading debate, as will Bill C-37, Increasing Accountability for Victim’s Act. There will also be a third reading vote on a Private Member’s Bill C-299, Kidnapping of Young Persons Act. Bill C-299 is a private member’s bill from my Kootenay-Columbia MP colleague David Wilks. Many citizens may recall the tragic Sparwood kidnapping of a threeyear-old toddler who fortunately was returned to his family four days after having been abducted from the family residence. Bill C-299 proposes increased minimum sentences for those who kidnap children unknown to them who are under the age of 16. Also occurring early this week will be an Opposition private member’s motion, M-385, calling for a special all-party committee of MPs to study and develop a national bullying prevention strategy. There has been some confusion as it has been suggested that this motion was drafted quickly in response to the recent bullying related tragedy occurring in the Lower Mainland. This particular motion was actually drafted back on May 30, 2012, and illustrates the ongoing impact of bullying in our society. I believe if we are to

MP’S REPORT

Dan Albas take further action against bullying we need to also consider bullying that exists online. As the use of the Internet has increased, so too have disturbing incidents of cyber-bullying, which in many cases has become almost rampant in some areas on the Internet. Social media sites, online discussion forums, comments on media stories are often filled with hate related comments, personal insults and attacks and even, at times, threats. These types of actions are almost always from those individuals who hide under the anonymity of an Internet IP address. As many of you recall, Bill C-30 proposed that those individuals who use the Internet for purposes

that include crime, fraud, to engage in child pornography, identity theft, or use of threats and violence could have their basic IP contact information made available to law enforcement to assist in an investigation. Contrary to what was stated often in some media, Bill C-30 did not authorize individuals to be “spied on” without judicial oversight. What Bill C-30 did propose was that law enforcement would have access to the same basic contact information in the cyber community as is currently available in the real world from something like a licence plate on a vehicle. As the Internet continues to play a more prominent role in all aspects of our society, and in particular with our youth, we must also ensure that we have measures in place to safeguard our most vulnerable from those predators and criminals who use the Internet for illicit and illegal purposes. As it stands today, there is little accountabil-

ity online and increasingly the interests of Canadians are being compromised as our means to safeguard the Internet are not keeping pace with technology. One point that I would like to emphasize is that no MP I have met is looking to politicize a very important issue. However, as a society we must also recognize the need for a balance that we can help to achieve through our democratic process. While we as Canadians greatly value our current online freedoms such as anonymity, we must also ask how long we are prepared to stand aside while that same anonymity is increasingly being misused to victimize others through online cyber bulling, fraud, identity theft and other illicit and illegal acts. I am not suggesting for a moment that we create a “big brother” environment online, only that we ensure that law enforcement has the same basic abilities in the cyber community as they do in the real world helping to ensure our streets and

communities are safe. As it stands today, an RCMP officer can more readily access the contact information for a hit and run driver than they can access the contact information for an IP address

of someone who is posting inappropriate pictures of a minor online. We must also recognize that for many of today’s youth, being victimized in the online community can be just as

devastating and harmful if not more so than anywhere else. I believe it is time we increased accountability online. Dan Albas is the Okanagan-Coquihalla MP. dan.albas@parl.gc.ca

Following their evaluation of the community in July, volunteer judges Evelyn Alemanni from Elfin Forest, California and Jim Baird from Rothesay, NB, said the collaboration between DWK and WFN is unique to the contest. “What sets West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation apart from other communities is the tight collaboration and cooperation of the communities, something not often seen in other towns,” wrote the judges.

“The Westbank First Nation has commissioned local artists to undertake a number of significant works, which are prominently displayed throughout the community. These works celebrate the distinctive Syilx culture of the B.C. Interior. The prominent and public location of the sculptures makes them accessible to the whole community. “A massive N’ha-a-ilk (Ogopogo of Okanagan Lake) is being installed adjacent to the main highway arterial in the community. Outstanding use of art in a rapidly growing community.” Communities in Bloom is a national organization dedicated to the promotion of green spaces in community settings. West Kelowna and WFN competed in the 20,001 to 50,000 population category.

▼ CIVIL LAWSUITS

Trying to cut financial corners can be a costly exercise E ach of us has a story about how cutting a financial corner has ended up costing more in the long run. A Burnaby convenience store owner has a story that would blow all of ours out of the water. A Supreme Court Justice wrote an important chapter of that story in his reasons for judgment issued in mid-August 2012. He said that the results of the case should serve as

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott a warning. On Oct. 17, 2009, a father and his 22-yearold son purchased a 2005 Subaru Impreza. It’s a sports car, purchased for the son. The

father is declared “principle operator” to save a few bucks; approximately 380 bucks to be particular. That’s the “financial corner” that he cut. The car is destroyed in a crash just over two months later, on Dec. 28, 2009. It is the son’s fault. Father claims against the collision insurance he has purchased. It’s a large claim. I’m not a “car guy.” I wouldn’t have known that a fouryear-old Subaru could

cost $41,287.21. ICBC denied coverage, based on the father’s false declaration that he would be the principle operator, not the son. Mr. Justice Verhoeven agreed with ICBC’s denial, providing the following clear statement of insurance law: “A contract of insurance is one of utmost good faith, and one cannot commit frauds or make wilfully false statements about the subjectmatter of the claim with-

out risking the loss of the right to indemnity.” The father likely had no idea of the potential consequences of the false declaration. In the view of Justice Verhoeven, the father’s false declaration to ICBC was “…almost certainly without any real appreciation that forfeiture of the insurance could result…”. Sometimes, ignorance of the law can save you, but not in this case. Justice Verhoeven

noted that: “…ICBC does not have to prove that the plaintiffs were aware of the consequences of a misrepresentation…”. That’s a tough pill to swallow. Cheating to save $380 of insurance premiums let ICBC off the hook from paying out a total loss claim of over $40,000. It doesn’t stop there. There was another vehicle involved. The son was at fault in the crash. The innocent occupants of the other vehicle were injured. The magnitude of the injury claims is not discussed in the case, but the case did indicate that the claims are still outstanding. With claims outstanding approaching three years after the crash, they are likely significant. ICBC will pay those claims, which may be 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars, regardless of the forfeiture of insurance. ICBC will then seek reimbursement from the son whose insurance was forfeited by the $380 false declaration. The 22-year-old son likely has no assets, though, in which case ICBC will be able to go after the father who shares liability as a joint owner of the vehicle. Ouch! Serves him right? Yes, he lied. Yes, he cheated. Had he been caught trying to steel $380 worth of merchandise from a store, though, the consequences of that behaviour would have been much, much less severe. I wonder if he would even have ended up having to pay a fine. Had the father properly declared that his son would be the principle operator, the insurance

would have cost an additional $380. Cutting that financial corner resulted in ICBC saving over $40,000 with the denied collision insurance claim and perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars of injury claims. By putting resources into uncovering false declarations after a loss occurs, ICBC gets to collect the insurance premiums from British Columbians unaware of the consequences of providing a false insurance declaration, while escaping liability when a loss occurs. Perhaps ICBC ought to be more forthright than they already are about the severe consequences of a false insurance declaration. The words “…your claim is invalid if at any time you fail to provide complete and accurate information…” are printed in bold, directly above your signature, but I doubt anyone actually reads those words any more than I do. In fact, it was a very good friend, former insurance sales person, who brought those words to my attention when she read my first draft of this column. Perhaps we should all be honest and forthright in everything we do. It’s what our mommas taught us, after all. 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

GALITZINE, ELIZABETH (BETTY) Passed away October 12, 2012, age 95 at Sun Pointe Village in Kelowna. Born Elizabeth Ingham on February 5, 1917 in Brandon, Manitoba. Moved to Vancouver where she met her beloved Theo Galitzine, and married in 1951. Betty and Theo lived most of their life in Vancouver and moved to Kelowna in 2001. They were great ball room dancers, had many competitions, and taught dancing. They danced many years well into their 90’s at Kelowna Water Street Seniors and Dinner/Dances. They were well known for their lively jiving steps and the “dip”. They travelled the world together and made many voyages on cruise ships. She was always such a pleasure to be around, being very polite and apologized when she was ill for the trouble she thought she was causing. We will miss her smile and positive attitude but we know she missed Theo the past 5 years and longed to be with him again. Now she is. Betty is survived by her son, Richard (Ardeth). Grand-children Dennis Morrison (Erin)of Vancouver; David Galitzine, (Amanda) of Grande Prairie, AB; Step-Grand-children Sherrie Lutz (Byron); Robert Kwasnicki (Jennifer); Great-Grandchildren Tessa, Trinity, Nicole, Sydney, Aurora, Owen.
