▼ FATAL ACCIDENT

Protest takes on oil and gas industry

Students struggle over loss of friends Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Jennifer Smith A group of West Kelowna friends are reeling from the latest in a series of fatal blows dealt to their loved ones in just the last few years. Peachland’s Mike Baxter, 20, was driving on the backroads Thursday night in Peachland when his Chevrolet pickup truck rolled several times in the 5500-block of Princeton Avenue. He died at the scene, alongside West Kelowna’s Delanie Smith, 17. Ryan Urlacher, a 19-year-old Peachland resident, and West Kelowna’s Brianna Frohlich, 16, were also passengers in the truck, but survived the crash. Urlacher has been released from hospital, while Frohlich was still being treated for a head injury as of Monday afternoon. At least three were students of Mt. Boucherie Secondary School, past and present, and school superintendent Hugh Gloster said that Monday was a somber occasion at the West Kelowna high school, although many had already had a chance to embark on their grieving process. “This happened late Thursday night and with the advent of social media, most students knew early in the day Friday,” he said. “The message was widespread, and we know students got together in whole variety of ways, from Thursday on. A certain portion of the grieving process took place in the homes of families, with each other and outside.” One of the most noticeable places where loved ones and friends have been mourning is the site of the crash itself. By Friday afternoon, dozens had gathered at the spot to pay homage to the deceased, placing flowers, personal items and pictures with notes that expressed their sadness and confusion. “(Delanie) had a big heart and was so filled with lots of joy that she wanted to spread amongst everyone,” read one homage.

Monday afternoon, she took part in the provincial Defend Our Coast day of action against “tar sands, pipelines and tankers” in Victoria, and on Wednesday she is expecting 150 to 200 people to join her in a similar protest here in Kelowna. “It’s all about defending Canada’s coastline and…this is just my passion,” she said, noting it has not connection to what she’s studying in school. Prins started with a poster-board protest on campus and was eventually noticed by UBCO’s Environment and Sustainability Club, which connected her with the provincial campaign organizers as a go-to person for the Central Okanagan. “We’re really trying to raise awareness and pub-

Okanagan chefs make apple juice for Kelowna food bank Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Some of the Okanagan’s best chefs gathered at Hazeldell Orchards Saturday, lending their services to support a good cause. Several of the culinary geniuses who attended have been recognized internationally for their talent and ability to make unique, palatable dishes. But it was a fairly simple product the chefs focused on making this weekend: apple juice—and a lot of it. Nine bins—or about $1,800 worth— of Galas were put through Frank Deiter’s Mobile Juice Factory to make nearly 270 five-litre containers of fresh apple juice. The juice will be distributed as part of the Christmas hamper program at the Kelowna Community Food Bank. “What this does is provide five-litre juice boxes for families at Christmas, which for us is an expense that we just wouldn’t be able to cover,” said David Purdon, with the food bank. “This year has been tough; donations have not kept pace with demand. So this is definitely an extra help for us at Christmas.” This is the second year in a row the Okanagan Chefs Association has partnered with Hazeldell Orchards and the Mobile Juice Factory. The initiative is part of International Chefs Day where chefs from 72 coun-

tries focus on generating awareness of their profession by hosting events to support local organizations. “I think anything that any of us can do for our community and the food bank is appreciated,” said Rod Butters, past president of the Okanagan Chefs Association and chef/co-owner of RauDZ Regional Table. Butters said 20 to 30 local chefs helped with the juicing process Saturday. “The one thing about the Okanagan chefs is, when they do something, they all get involved, they all get behind it and they show up,” said Purdon. Willi Franz, owner of Grapevine Restaurant at Gray Monk Estate Winery, said the Okanagan Chefs Association does several projects throughout the year that benefit the community, including the Christmas hamper distribution with the food bank and a Valentine’s Day dinner in February. “It’s one of our mandates to give back to the community and help different charities,” said Franz. The apple juicing initiative wouldn’t have been possible without the substantial donation from Allen and Wendy Reid, owners of Hazeldell Orchards. “We had a fairly good crop this year; it was a good growing season,” said Allen. “You do what you can to give back.” 1 1wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

City Hall renos go over budget Expansion of second floor to exceed $1.6 million budget by $400,000. Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna council has approved a plan to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in extra costs for renovating City Hall with money from four city infrastructure programs. In order to add the required $400,000 to the already budgeted $1.6-million cost of renovating City Hall’s second floor to create more space they will take money from side-

THE

walks, the bicycle paths, the Kelowna Family Y and an unrelated City Hall renovation project. The city will use $100,000 allotted for sidewalks that won’t be built this year, $142,100 from a plan to expand the Family Y’s gym, $67,200 the 2012 bicycle network program and $90,700 from a plan that would have seen work improvements made to a fourth floor meeting room. According to Kevin

Van Vliet, manager of utility and building projects, the city will also use $1.2 million from a $1.6-million insurance settlement received as a result of the fire that destroyed the Pavilion Building in City Park last year for the City Hall work as well as money from its reserves. Van Vliet said while the deadline for using the insurance money is March 6, the insurance company has told the city if construction is well underway by then, it will extend the deadline. The additional space to be created on the

second floor of City Hall, as well as other work on the third floor, will create more space for city workers, some of whom used to work in the Pavilion Building prior to the fire. Moving the City Clerk’s department from its current location on the third floor will make it more accessible to the public, said city manager Ron Mattiussi. The work on the second floor also includes enlarging the washrooms on that floor to accommodate the larger number of employees.

Become a global citizen The Intercultural Society of the Central Okanagan, in association with Global Citizen Kelowna, wants local residents to become more aware of their role as global citizens. “Global Citizen Kelowna Week 2013 will build on the tremendously successful events of previous years and will continue this year to expand and provide even more entertaining, educational, and inspirational events,” said Joyce Brinkerhoff, co-president Intercultural Society of the Central Okanagan and executive director of Global Citizen Kelowna. This year, Brinkerhoff, who is also a Kelowna school trustee, said 300 volunteers were needed to help stage eight different events, and that same level of volunteer participation will be needed again next year.

ter Gray. “It means more frequency of service, it means more destinations direct from here. “Eventually we (will) have a transit culture where more people see transit as their principal form of transportation.” The Rutland core will join the Frequent Transit Network, with links to RapidBus service, by the end of 2013. This will mean service every 15 minutes for riders with less of a wait during peak hours. The exchange is being funded through $2 million from the provincial government, $1.4 million from the federal gas tax fund and $1.1 million from the City of Kelowna. Gray said the new transit infrastructure will

increase development north of Highway 33 toward Shepherd Road, as well as the densification of residential housing. “If we come back to this same spot five, 10 or 15 years from now, we’re going to say: ‘Wow, that was the right thing to do.’ “The only regret I have is this should have been done many years ago.” Construction of the Rutland exchange is also a part of the city’s revitalization program for the area. In addition to the Rutland exchange, upgrades will take place at Queensway, Okanagan College and Pandosy Village over the next two years. Overall, the second and third phases of the RapidBus project will result in four improved ex-

changes, five new RapidBus stations, branded shelters and real-time passenger information displays. The entire Kelowna RapidBus project will receive up to $46 million in funding from federal, provincial and local governments. Ridership in the Kelowna area is up nine per cent from last year, according to Mike Davis, BC Transit vice-president and chief operating officer. He added the Kelowna RapidBus project is the biggest transit infrastructure project underway in the province, outside the Lower Mainland. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

MLAs play the right tune to secure government grants Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna’s mayor is crediting fast action by the area’s three MLAs for helping reverse a provincial decision to not give the Okanagan Symphony over $100,000 in funding. According to Mayor Walter Gray, he received a call recently from symphony officials saying they had just learned that the annual funding they were depending on would

not be coming. Gray said he immediately e-mailed a letter to the government supporting the OSO and copied it to the local Liberal MLAs, Steve Thomson, Norm Letnick and Ben Stewart. “And the next day the orchestra got its money,” said the mayor, citing the assistance of the MLAs for the speedy resolution.

Canadian folk singer James Keelaghan launches a cross-Canada tour in Kelowna on Thursday designed to shape a CD of reflection. After 25 years of writing and performing, the Juno-award winning artist wants to put together a greatest hits/25th anniversary album, but needs the input of the grassroots fans who built his name. As such, he’s spent the last few months unearthing old radio interviews, writing a few new songs and largely digging into stacks of hits to find the perfect material to showcase in this tour project. “Kudos to my late mother. She saved everything that came in,” he said. “When she passed away a few years ago, there was just this massive box of stuff to go through.” Keelaghan said he got a bit of a jolt when he realized his late mother had even traipsed down to the store to buy copies of the interviews he did with Playboy Magazine, noting there is a little horror in knowing she had to go to this extent, though he is very grateful for such unparalleled support. Telling stories in song is a passion he says is easy to forget the value of, though when he does, he’s generally given a good reminder. A song he wrote for his 1993 Juno-winning album My Skies proved just such a reminder over the last six months. Kiri’s Piano tells the story of a family forced into a Japanese internment camp, but not before the mother spares her piano from being seized by the government’s agents by rolling it into the ocean. Keelaghan said was recently contacted by someone who had heard the

story while in a camp and didn’t realize it was real; he said he was able to connect them to the family in the story. He was also left a guitar that was sunk and survived because of the same song. “The funny thing about story songs is that they start to accumulate their own story,” Keelaghan noted. Now the artistic director for Summer Folk in Owen Sound, just outside Toronto, Keelaghan says he’s come to appreciate how savvy young musicians are today and that hard work, and hitting the pavement to perform for and speak with fans does tend to pay off.

Five suspects arrested following home invasion

Five people were arrested in Kelowna following a Saturday night home invasion. West Kelowna Mounties received a report of an assault with a weapon on the 3000 block of Boucherie Road on Saturday, Oct. 20, at 11:15 p.m. “Apparently, three men burst into the house, striking the resident several times with a blunt object before the 40-year-old West Kelowna man could make his escape,” said Const. Kris Clark. “The three suspects fled the scene in a green Chevrolet Lumina van with two other associates. Police located the vehicle on Harvey Avenue coming off the bridge and conducted a vehicle stop as it turned South onto Pandosy Street. All five occupants were arrested and the weapon recovered.” The West Kelowna man suffered minor injuries. The investigation is ongoing and the suspects were released on a promise to appear in court at a later date. Anyone with any information regarding this crime is asked to call the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880 or Crime Stoppers, 1-800-222-8477.

FIPA, as it’s known, is a complex trade agreement set to layout at least 15 years of trade negotiation between Canada and

The Nexen deal highlights the larger national pipeline issue—with the Enbridge Gateway pipeline front and centre—as getting oil from Alberta to British Columbia’s ports requires a means of moving the product out for shipment to foreign mar-

Kinder Morgan is also proposing to double its Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta to boost capacity to 750,000 barrels a day, but Prins says the protest isn’t really about targeting specific companies, like Enbridge or Kinder Morgan, so much as its directed at stopping the transportation of oil and gas altogether. And she believes there is plenty of support and a good chance the protest will turn the tides for those opposed to the pipeline, drawing enough attention to spur political debate. “I’ve learned that I was right—there are a lot of people against this,” Prins said from the legislature lawn where Monday’s protest was staged.

The Defend Our Coast campaign has seen widespread uptake on social media and garnered the support of artists like Dan Mangan, a Vancouverbased musician, and actor Mark Ruffalo, a resident of California. “As the world inevitably transitions away from fossil fuels, a small group of corporate radicals is dead set on accelerating climate change in the biggest land grab and property rights infringement in history,” Ruffalo’s quote in the campaign posters states.

I love the family, we are all close and we are there for each other.” Helping those who are most impacted stay strong is something the school superintendent is focused on as well. As of Monday, a tailored counselling program was rolled out for teachers and students who need someone or something to lean on in the aftermath. It’s something the district is all too well versed in, he explained. “There are places they can go to receive counselling support, or just be in a drop-in environment,”

Gloster said. “Classes may be uncomfortable at this time.” Police are investigating the cause of the single-vehicle rollover. There are several hypotheses on what caused the crash being floated, said Const. Kris Clark. “There’s some indication that there may have been cows in the road, so it’s certainly a possibility (Baxter) swerved to miss one,” he said. Others have pointed out road conditions and the height of the truck being driven could be a contributing factor, he said. Clark said the police investigation as to the exact cause of the accident will take days, if not potentially weeks, to complete.

History behind Kelowna SPCA reaches the century mark It was 100 years ago that the SPCA Charter was signed in the Okanagan, starting a commitment of health and welfare for local animals. Back then, there was no shelter and the focus was a little different. Today, the branch is located on Casorso Road and soon will be opening another building to host Summer Camps for kids, educational seminars, do some dog training and act as a regional centre for other SPCA locations in the Okanagan. The Kelowna branch has helped thousands of animals, large and small out of situations of cruelty and abandonment to find them happy, new forever homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so proud of the accomplishments of the organization and the impact it has had in our area,â&#x20AC;? said Suzanne Pugh, branch manager of the Kelowna shelter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus has

changed over the 100 years, of course and we share many successes today such has hosting soldout Kids Summer Camps every year to teach responsible pet care to young people, the exotic animals legislation that was passed a couple of years ago banning over 1,200 species of exotic animals in B.C. or our current focus on farm animal welfare and an extensive SPCA-certified program to name a few.â&#x20AC;? The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (PCA Act) was passed in 1895 and set in motion the creation of a non-profit society called the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A committee of individuals concerned with animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protection was formed to create the B.C. SPCA Bylaws and Constitution. In 1896, the first meeting was held in New Westminster. Branches started being

formed around the province, including one in Kelowna. Back then, there was no building and no team like there is today. Today, the B.C. SPCA has 36 branches around the province servicing more than 37,000 animals each year. The organization does so much more than adopt cats and dogs, as their mission statements readsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in British Columbia. There is a team of cruelty officers responding to calls of animal abuse in every region of the province, a team of animal advocates lobbying government at the municipal, provincial and federal levels to change legislation, introduce new standards for animals especially those in farming and to lobby for stiffer sentences for those who abuse animals. The organization

has a humane education program and runs summer camps for kids and youth throughout the province in a bid to educate early the importance of responsible pet care and encourage empathy. As the mission statement mentions, the SPCA also deals with wild animals with a wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and release facility in Metchosin just outside of Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very unique facility that has many areas including nurseries for all baby animals, an aquatic area and avian pens for the birds,â&#x20AC;? said Pugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so impressed with the education and attention to detail the staff at the facility have ensuring all animal needs are met and keeping the conditions as much like the wild as possible to ensure the highest chance of survival once released.â&#x20AC;?

Regional ties shouldn’t be ignored

he political battle lines in the Okanagan could undergo a major shift before the next federal election. But it won’t be happening without a fight if a meeting Tuesday night in Penticton is any indication. The B.C. Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission met near-unanimous opposition from those on hand for Tuesday’s hearing in Penticton. The commission is looking at changes to provincial ridings after it was determined that B.C.

should receive six new seats. While those additional ridings will be primarily situated in the Lower Mainland, with one on Vancouver Island, the commission is also recommending redrawing some federal boundaries. The plan put forward would shave Penticton off of the Okanagan-Coquihalla and tack it onto a new riding called South Okanagan-West Kootenay. That riding would be similar to the current Southern Interior riding, with Penticton added and Nelson shuffled to an adjacent rid-

ing. And it’s here where the proposed changes seem to lose grasp of the geographic realities. The move would separate the closely linked communities of Penticton and Summerland, and cut off Keremeos from its western neighbours. The proposed riding shift would also break up the Kootenays’ Tri-Cities, splitting Nelson from Castlegar and Trail. The inconsistencies in the proposed riding changes leads one to believe the map was drawn up in Vancouver or Ottawa, without any thought given

to the shared relationship between communities that help make up the fabric of a region. Or, cast in a more cynical light, it could appear the Conservative stronghold of Penticton is being used to tilt the scales in a riding that has swung for the NDP in recent years. We can only hope that the commission will take a closer look at the shared relationship of a region’s communities that go beyond the lines drawn on a map. —Penticton Western News

Conservative Par-

ty annual general meeting that gave Cummins 71 per cent support. Cummins enjoys plenty of support from the party faithful in the Central Okanagan ridings, one of which, Kelowna-Lake Country, has already nominated its candidate. Former Kelowna city councillor Graeme James will seek to unseat incumbent Liberal MLA Norm Letnick next May. James shrugs off the dissenters as a small group and says the party is moving on. But the salvos keep coming for Cummins and that can’t be helping James, or any other B.C. Conservative candidates’ campaign. Recent public opinion polls show the B.C. Tories down from the historic high of 22 per

cent support Cummins led the party to shortly after he assumed leadership. An Angus Reid poll conducted two weeks ago pegged the B.C. Conservative support at 16 per cent, well back of the Liberal’s 26 per cent and the front-running NDP’s 49 per cent. Despite that, the polling firm described the slide from 19 per cent in its previous polls for the Conservatives as likely a pleasant surprise, given the bad press it had received. But Cummins can take little solace in that, given his own “disapproval” rating in that same poll ballooned to 56 per cent, but below Premier Christy Clark’s 65 per cent. Flip that to look at his “approval” rating and it’s not even as good at Green Par-

ty leader Jane Sterk’s 22 per cent. I would bet if you asked 10 people on the street who Jane Sterk is, eight of them would not know. So while Cummins has work to do, James’ has a double whammy to contend with—fighting the perception his party is in disarray and trying to unseat a popular incumbent who is now touting his own Conservative pedigree. Letnick has taken to reminding people he lost the federal Conservative Party nomination to now incumbent MP Ron Cannan by just 55 votes in 2005. So, is the election shaping up to be a fight for the right in KelownaLake Country? awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Parkade plan violates covenant’s spirit To the editor: Kelowna citizens, why let the council and the upper city management sacrifice and wreck your covenant land for an ugly parkade between Memorial Arena and the Kelowna Museum? And why accept the $15 million debt load for a parkade which is mainly for Interior Health’s employee parking? City council and the upper city management state that the proposed parkade conforms to the Simpson covenant. However, council and city bureaucrats do everything to avoid the issue of the spirit and intent of the covenant. For maximum public benefit, the covenant was intended to keep most of the land in a parklike state.

Kasugai Gardens conforms and embellishes the spirit of the covenant. Full enjoyment of beautiful Kasugai Gardens would be harmed by the overbearing, noisy parkade. Furthermore, losing full use of covenant land by all citizens for Interior Health parking is another disgusting rip-off by the city. The land was turned into an asphalt parking lot to accommodate the parking for Memorial Arena. Being flat, the existing parking lot blends in. It could easily be ripped up anytime and turned into green space. However, a multi-level parkade would be a permanent eyesore. The city claims that the subject land is needed as a parkade for Interior Health’s building pro-

posed for the corner of Doyle and Ellis. Apparently, the library plaza parkade isn’t big enough to handle the parking of 1,000 IH employees. So what? There are superior locations for Interior Health that have better access and unlimited parking, such as Central Green at the corner of Richter and Harvey. Also, the area around Landmark Square, towards Springfield Road, is a more central location and would serve the citizens throughout Kelowna better by saving them time, money, gasoline and stress in not having to go into the increasingly congested downtown core for IH services. With superior locations elsewhere, the whole idea of selling off the public’s parking lot at Doyle and Ellis for Interior

▼ MEAT RECALL

Food safety questioned Open letter to Kelowna–Lake Country MP Ron Cannan: For our recent Thanksgiving dinner, the problems at XL Foods have caused me to question the safety of the food I was about to put on my table. I have just read the Canadian Food Inspection Agency food recall reports from Jan 1, 2009, to Oct. 4, 2012, available at the website www.active. inspection.gc.ca. During the past 45 months while you have been in Ottawa, there were a total of 594 CFIA food recall reports issued due to microbiological contamination, including salmonella, listeria and E. coli. The sheer number of these reports is staggering and raises the question: Is Canada’s food supply safe? During the first nine months of 2012, there were 152 CFIA food recall reports issued involving microbiological con-

taminants, including three reports involving the XL Foods processing facility in Brooks, Alta. Projecting these yearto-date numbers forward to the end of 2012 shows that CFIA is on track to issue 202 food recall reports caused by microbial contaminants. Recent press reports have criticized the federal minister of agriculture and the owners of XL Foods for not taking responsibility to exercise their due diligence to protect the public food supply. Apparently, current legislation prohibits federal prosecution of XL Foods for contaminating the food supply. What’s going on in Ottawa anyway? Why won’t you act correctly and do the right thing to ensure that my food is safe to eat? Why won’t you do the right thing and stop deregulating industries, particularly those industries that

pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat? Clearly, Canada needs better public policies, more effective legislation, more stringent enforcement and more public spending to support the mandates of CFIA, Health Canada, Environment Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to ensure protection of the food supply over the long-term. When are you going to start voting to support all Canadians instead of just industry? When are you going to start changing your voting behaviour in the House of Commons and begin voting for a cleaner environment, for a healthier food supply and for more stringent federal regulatory oversight that will actually protect—rather than jeopardize—public health and safety? Richard Drinnan, Kelowna

Large dogs deserve their space To the editor: I am the owner of a very active large Weimaraner dog. I find there is no where in Kelowna that will allow me to run along a flat trail while giving my dog freedom to be off leash running with me. The current off-leash parks are far outside of town or too small for us both to enjoy a run. Why is Kelowna so strict about off leash dogs? I can’t accept that a large dog be leashed his entire life because the city can not free up some in town trail space for our animals to enjoy along with their owners. Getting to a dog park everyday that is 10 km out of town or away from your

house is not a good daily option for exercise. If the city can not give dog owners some appropriate space for both dog owners and their larger dogs to exercise, why not just ban large dogs from the city all together? I propose that dog owners be giving a section of the Mission Creek Greenway trail as off-leash friendly running trail or post off-leash hours where owners and dogs can enjoy some daily exercise together. I am tired of being scolded for trying to enjoy daily exercise with my large overactive dog. What is wrong with this city? Angela Daniels, Kelowna

Health’s building is weird. Sharron Simpson stated that the parking lot between Kelowna Museum and Memorial Arena should be turned into a park because the downtown will need more greenspace. She is correct. Turning the lot into a park would complement the existing jewel of Kasugai Gardens and together would provide a haven of beauty and enrichment for down town. Our wise forefathers wanted much of the public’s covenant land kept in a park-like state as their legacy for maximum public benefit for generations. Citizens, we must send this message loud and clear to the short-sighted mayor, council and the city’s upper management. Robert Cichocki, Kelowna

Interior Health A Gift in Memory challenged on flu vaccine comments Makes a Difference To the editor: I read with interest comments by Dr. Rob Parker, with Interior Health, from an interview reported in the Capital News on Oct. 17, regarding flu vaccinations. Weekly, I am asked by patients whether flu vaccines and other vaccines recommended by public health officials are effective and safe. These patients wish to read the peer reviewed double blind studies done on these various vaccines to see how the study was done, the results found as well as the relationship between the authors of the study and who funded the study. To date, I have been unsuccessful in directing them to any such credible study. I have only directed them to the National Vaccine Information Centre (www.909shot.com) as a starting point in collecting information upon which to help make a truly informed decision. Parker is quoted in the article as saying, “There are many myths and misconceptions about the flu shot so it’s important for people to get accurate information.” I agree completely with him. Parker is also quoted saying, “Flu vaccinations are a proven, safe and effective way to reduce your chances of getting the flu,” and also, “The flu shot is anywhere from 60 to 90 per cent effective in preventing influenza…” I would appreciate Mr. Parker writing a reply to my letter listing the studies supporting these comments so that the interested readership can read these studies and I can have a resource reference for my patients. Dr. Dale Forsythe, Kelowna

3. ADULT SUPERVISION – Young children should always have a responsible adult escorting them door-todoor on Halloween night. Skip past houses that don’t have lights on, or the walkway isn’t well-lit, and avoid unfamiliar animals. 4, PUMPKIN

CARVING – Kids under six should not use knives or other sharp instruments to carve pumpkins. Instead they can express their creativity by drawing a face on a pumpkin or dressing it up with colourful fall leaves. Parents should use a flashlight or a light stick to illuminate a pumpkin rather than a candle, to reduce the risk of burns.

When eating candy, parents should have children sit at a table since eating while playing, jumping or talking can lead to choking.

However, if you plan to use fireworks as part of your ccelebration, only purcchase them from a reliaable source and always rread and follow label dirrections. Keep water or a fire extinguisher nearbby when lighting fireworks. w

“Make sure your children are in highly visible clothing. Visibility is important whether you’re in a rural area or if you’re on a sidewalk in an urban area.” ~ Jane Christy, BC Ambulance Service Unit Chief, Lillooet “If you’re driving a vehicle – slow down – particularly when it gets dark, because it can be more difficult to see kids stepping from crosswalks or darting across a street.” ~ Dr. Ash Singhal, pediatric neurosurgeon and Director of Pediatric Trauma Program at BC Children’s Hospital “Parental supervision of activities for young children is a must. Whether you’re making a jack-o-lantern, trickor-treating or watching a fireworks or a firecracker display, always be there to ensure the safety of your kids.” BC Ambulance Service and BC Children’s Hospital are part the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA), a specialist in prevention. PHSA is committed to sharing expertise and knowledge to promote health and prevent illness and injury, manage chronic conditions, and lessen the burden of disease in high risk populations. ~ Dan Earl, BC Ambulance Service Unit Chief, Port Hardy

BE A GOOD HOST – As a homeowner, make sure the path to your front door is clear of any obstructions or sharp objects and welllit to prevent trick-ortreaters from falling. Don’t leave pumpkins with burning candles close to where children may be trick-or-treating to prevent burns or costumes catching on fire. 9. ENJOY THE TREATS, BUT CHECK THEM FIRST – Always check the treats before your child eats them. Throw away any items with torn wrappers or holes in the wrapper. Wash and cut any fruit before eating.

NEWS ▼ LIFE PERSPECTIVE

Pay homage to those close to you while they are still here

few weeks back, I wrote about the power of the now and the power of choice. Today’s column builds further on that point. My father taught me an exercise when I was about 20 years old. It was an exercise I did not do until some time later, but thought of frequently. When I did it, I found it invaluable in adding perspective and appreciation to my life and those I love. I have tried to do it every year since. My fathers told me “take someone you love dearly, and once a year; write a eulogy for them as if they had passed away. Do not make it all doom and gloom, rather make it what it is supposed to be…a celebration of their life and all they gave you.” At the time it, I thought it to be a morbid exercise and not one I wanted to enter into freely. Maybe that is why I put it off, like other worth

while activities. To actually set the time aside and pay homage and due respect to someone and their life gives one a great sense Markus of appreciation and Thiel perspective, if not a viewpoint from which to see things from a higher level away from our daily routines. We do tend to get bogged down in our daily routines and schedules and this can make the days ‘grey into’ the next. Get up, shower, brush your teeth, get the kids up, make breakfast and the lunches, iron your clothes, go to work, get the kids to gymnastics, tae kwon do, swimming lessons, race home, answer phone messages, read, go to bed— you know the routine. All of this is necessary and important stuff but is it ‘meaningful?’ Tonight, turn the TV off for a night, put the kids to bed and sit down with your significant other and write each other’s eulogy, or the eulogy of someone you love.

ASK DR.THIEL

You don’t have to share it with them. Just do it. We have all had dreams that we have lost someone and for that day, it haunts us, all the while giving us a gift of “Thank God, that was only a dream.” For that day we will be more cognizant and mindful of that person and all they do for us. Moreover, what they make us. I will say again, this is not a doom and gloom exercise, it is one that will allow you to do and feel your love and appreciation for that which is indeed uncertain. A eulogy is not negative, it is positive, it is not missing, it is honouring, it is not mourning, it is remembering. Don’t take your loved one for granted. Don’t take your time together for granted. Just for tonight, turn off the TV and tell someone how much you love and honor and admire them. Truly, pay tribute to them as if they were gone and then, when the morning comes, roll over and kiss them good morning. Markus Thiel is a doctor of chiropractic. in Kelowna. askdrthiel@shaw.ca

And while it’s OK to occasionally indulge in treats, the problem lies when one turns to two, and two turns to…well, you get the idea. Not all candy is created equal! Did you know, for instance, that even small bites of chocolate bars tend to be higher in calories from fat than pops and chews?

SIGN OF WINTER…

The cold snap last weekend that saw the first snowfall in the higher elevations of the Central Okanagan means auto mechanics like Nick Shinmar, with Black Knight Automotive in Kelowna, will be busy installing snow tires on local vehicles for the next few weeks.

▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Farming innovation gets closer examination The agriculture industry in the Okanagan has a far greater positive impact on the regional economy than anyone realizes, according to a professor with Okanagan College’s School of Business. “The public only sees the primary products— what they don’t see is the value-added that contributes to the economy,” said Lee Cartier, who has just received a national grant to conduct further study on the issue. “What we’re looking at here is the industry clus-

ing, the service and support industries, the grower supply companies—all of this is the value chain.” The grant extended to Cartier is for $25,000 from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to conduct his study, titled Rural Entrepreneurship and Industry Competitiveness: Value-Chain Innovation in the Agricultural Products Cluster since 2006. His research will examine the region with a macro-economic focus,

looking at local agriculture as an industry cluster —similar to other classic industry clusters like the Silicon Valley. What’s curious, Cartier said, is that once agriculture is examined as a cluster it becomes clear that it outpaces overall economic growth in the Okanagan—not by much, but enough to be significant at 3.6 per cent growth, versus three per cent growth. “What this research hopes to answer is why this is happening,” Cartier said.

in pink! . . . y t t e r P

“I know I’m going to find innovation there, but what’s driving it?” Cartier says not much is known in Canada about the role rural entrepreneurs play in regional economies. By taking a closer look at what is occurring here, rural entrepreneurs, and others with economic interests, could literally capitalize on the findings. The difference can be exponential, he said.

y today, the NHL collective bargaining dispute may be resolved. What won’t be clarified is the precise labour relations status of the relationship between the league and the NHL Players Association. Early on in the dispute, the NHLPA applied to the Alberta Labour Relations Board for a declaration that the owners’ lockout was, in that jurisdiction, illegal. The players wanted an inYOU WORK junction preventing the lockHERE out as it pertained to the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames (and for their training camps to open on a “business as usual basis”). When I heard the NHLRobert PA was making this appliSmithson cation, my first thought was that this was a strategic error. It struck me as a fairly petty, second-rate attempt by the players to mess with the lockout and it made the players look (to me, at least) a little buffoonish. The failed outcome of that application was predictable. But the board’s decision produced some interesting details about a very murky labour relations structure that has produced three lockouts in the last 18 years. The board called the owners-players relationship “a unique set of circumstances involving a unique work environment.” That it is, for certain. “(B)oth the NHL and NHLPA have acknowledged the NHL is a joint venture and the sole and exclusive bargaining representative of the present and future clubs of the NHL. As defined in its constitution, the purpose of the NHLPA, originally established in 1967, is, in part, to represent its members in collective bargaining with the NHL and its member clubs. “The NHL-NHLPA relationship operates within a complex structure spread over multiple states and provinces in two countries. The NHL is comprised of 30 independent and competitive hockey teams—seven in Canada and 23 in the United States.” “These teams join together for the purposes of collective bargaining to negotiate with the players’ collective bargaining agent, the NHLPA, common terms and conditions to govern each team’s relationship with its players. “However, the collective agreement does not determine, subject to certain parameters, the compensation payable to individual players or the length of term of individual players’ contracts. “These are matters that are subject to negotiation between the individual players, often represented by agents (not the NHLPA), and the teams they play for.”

NEWS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS

Spirit of entrepreneur serves both in business and in life I

s the entrepreneurial spirit innate or can you cultivate it? This question often appears central to economic development since entrepreneurs create most new jobs, invest and create the newest technologies and build successful entrepreneurial products and services for all of us to enjoy. When cultivating my thoughts for today’s column, I came across an interesting piece of trivia to share with you. Schumpeter, a noted economist and theorist referred to as the father of the entrepreneurship theory, coined the German term Unternehmergeist which means “the entrepreneurial spirit.” Not surprisingly, the term itself didn’t stick, but the idea has, big time. Deep down inside, each of us has our own entrepreneurial spirit. The term entrepreneurship doesn’t apply strictly to our careers and the way we go about making money. It applies, I espouse, to every part of

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young our life. “What?” you ask. Did someone change the definition of the term entrepreneurship and forget to tell us? Not really. Strictly speaking, entrepreneurship still refers to starting and operating your own entrepreneurial venture, a professional endeavour that requires independence, creativity, innovation, individuality and risk. But you can also apply to your personal life the same skills that make you a successful entrepreneur. In the traditional business sense, an entrepreneur is a person who doesn’t wish to be locked into a job. He or she is someone who has many skills. An

entrepreneur generally is not a 9-to-5 person who collects a paycheque every second week. Entrepreneurs have a true and innate pioneering spirit. They don’t just have a dream; they follow through to make it happen. Successful entrepreneurs have their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Being an entrepreneur is similar to sitting in a kayak with the waves breaking over your head. The force of the water is much greater than the force of you trying to paddle. But, if you make the right moves by focusing your concentration and being diligent and careful, you can get to where you want to go. As a serial entrepreneur myself, I’ve learned that you must paddle as fast as the current itself. If you don’t, the current will push you sideways and take you off course. Then, you become vulnerable to the waves that will flip you

WAY!

over. Successful entrepreneurs feel that a life without risk is a life without living. Who wants to live a life without risks? You will never achieve any success or happiness in life without taking risks —no matter what the subject of your focus may be. Another key to the successful entrepreneurial spirit powering is doing something with your life that you love. The people who are successful in business and in their personal lives are truly doing something they love to do. You surely need to be flexible when harnessing your entrepreneurial spirit because sometimes you have to follow your heart and know when to change course and investigate something new. I often subscribe to this credo: What you may perceive to be an entrepreneurial opportunity, may not be an entrepreneurial opportunity for you, but may be for others. Changing careers is difficult. You wonder if you’re throwing something away for which you studied long and hard. It’s not smart to change merely if you don’t have a good reason. Consider the change only if you can clearly see that it will improve your life, the lives of those you love and—very important

here— makes you happy. Harnessing the entrepreneurial spirit also means wanting to run your entrepreneurial venture the way you may run your life. To run a successful venture, you will want to increase the number of clients.To run a successful life, you will want to increase the number of successful friendships you may have. The parallels are endless between an entrepreneurial venture and one’s personal life journey. For every example of the entrepreneurial spirit in life, there is a parallel in business. Unleashing the power of the entrepreneurial spirit means recognizing that you cannot separate the two parallels. Being an entrepreneur is a way of life. All you need to do is get yourself into the entrepreneurial mindset, and you’ll find the power to make things happen. Look around you, my friends, would the success of identifiable corporations or social organizations have come to be without the evolution of an entrepreneurial credo to guide them? I think not. More important, would they have ever come into existence without the spirit of entrepreneurship?

So, dear readers, go for the gold. Ignite and preserve the power of the entrepreneurial spirit, but try to put in place what your company, your organization and your dream will need to grow. You can really have your cake and eat it too— it takes some courage and faith. In closing this week, let me invite you to explore seven characteristics that will aid you to foster your entrepreneurial spirit: • Fervent faith that you can change things for the better. • An unshakable belief that you can devise better, quicker, cheaper ways of presenting products or services needed in the marketplace. • Always having a solution in sight for any complexities and ability to overcome challenges effortlessly. • Optimistic about the

Agriculture’s role in economy researched

Farming from A17 Case in point: The local wine industry, which Cartier researched in 2011 for the BC Wine Institute. His findings showed that while the wine grape growers contribute $28-million to the region’s economy, once the entire value chain is factored in, that contribution is closer to $250 million, which represents two per cent of the regional GDP. “This means the primary producers—the vineyards—only comprise 11 per cent of the industry’s total value-added contribution,” he said. “There is a real benefit to the agriculture sector seeing itself as a cluster, rather than as a collection of small wineries (for instance) in competition with one another. “When an industry can see the entire value chain, it’s easier to determine the challenges they have to deal with, and what they haven’t tackled.” To conduct the research, Cartier is partnering with Okanagan Villa Vineyards and Events Corp., which operates The Vibrant Vine Winery in Kelowna with data being collected through the coming months. Public presentations on the project will take place in February 2013. Cartier’s work marks the first time the college

Labour world of its own

Smithson from A17 This fact that the critical negotiation of salary and contract duration occurs between the individual player (or his agent) and the team is particularly unusual. Typically, of course,

the negotiation of wages is one of the key functions of a trade union and is largely (if not totally) out of the hands of individual workers. “The NHL and the NHLPA have never established definitively which jurisdiction’s labour laws

govern their relationship and therefore which labour board is empowered to adjudicate their disputes. Each party has, at one time or another, taken a position opposite to the one currently argued before this board and adopted strategic positions

about jurisdiction that suited the immediate situation they were facing; thus, they have adopted positions of convenience of argument tailored to fit the jurisdiction and the dispute. “In this sense, it is like they were squeezing Jello

to watch where it lands in order to determine what approach to take, in what dispute, in whichever jurisdiction the argument is being advanced.” It seems, then, that the relationship between the owners and the players operates independent

of any particular statutory authority in either the USA or Canada. Although the league makes some efforts to comply with local labour laws in the various provinces and states, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly acknowledged this is just because the league wishes to “cover all of its angles.” “The NHL and the NHLPA have negotiated a succession of collective agreements together since 1975,” Daly said. “The most recent collective agreement between the parties runs from July 22, 2005, through Sept. 15, 2011. It was extended one year by agreement. “The collective agreement sets out extensive terms and conditions of employment governing all members of the NHLPA and the conduct of the NHL and its member clubs. These terms and conditions are far ranging and govern such matters as: when the players can show up for training camp; league-wide restriction on maximum players’ salaries; endorsements; licensing arrangements; a league-wide entry level compensation package; when a player can become a ‘free agent’ and forms of free agency; the requirement of leaguewide approval on player contracts; insurance plans; pension plans… “The Alberta Board, in dismissing the players’ application, stated, ‘The vacillating positions of the NHL and the NHLPA in this dispute underscore that the question of which jurisdiction’s labour laws apply to this relationship is anything but simple.’ “In our opinion, that issue, which has been left ambiguous by the parties for almost 50 years, is not best answered in the heat of a strike or lockout.” So, who are these guys? They are two groups of extremely wealthy people who have carved sort of a pretend labour-management relationship, which isn’t anchored to any jurisdiction’s labour laws, and which doesn’t determine the salary of any individual employee. The current labour dispute will likely end, soon, with the result that players and coaches will be back on the ice. The NHL and NHLPA will then probably just go back to “squeezing Jello.” Robert Smithson is a labour and employment lawyer, and operates Smithson Employment Law in Kelowna. www.smithsonlaw.ca

Sun launch search for new head coach for 2013 season Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

GREG SAKAKI/BLACK PRESS

OKANAGAN SUN receiver Ben White (left) tries to get away from V.I. Raiders linebacker Glenn Boyce during

Saturday’s B.C. Football Conference playoff game at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park.

As much as the Okanagan Sun dreamt of a fairytale ending, the 2012 B.C. Football Conference season concluded in somewhat predictable fashion Saturday in Nanaimo. Just five days after the dismissal of first-year head coach Gavin Lake, the B.C. Football Conference club went down to defeat at the hands of the Vancouver Island Raiders in the conference semifinal. Now the search officially begins for a new head coach for the 2013 campaign. “We’ve already had a number of inquiries, I’d say there are five or six people who have contacted us already and are interested in the job,” said Sun president Paul Carson. “Obviously we want

to give our new head coach as much time as possible to prepare, leading into next season.” The Sun’s most recent hiring didn’t go nearly as well as the club planned after Lake was officially brought in on May 1 to replace the departed Jason Casey. Under Lake, the youthladen Sun struggled to find both consistency and an identity, and plodded to a 3-7 record, including 1-4 at home. “We’re in a much better position than last last time in that we’ll have more time with the hiring process. I’m optimistic about the quality of person we’ll be able to get,” Carson said. “Unlike when we hired in the spring, football seasons are ending right now and coaches are thinking about what they’ll be doing next season. We should have greater numbers of qualified

people applying. We’ll see what unfolds over the next couple of months.” With Carson serving as interim coach, the Sun’s season ended Saturday afternoon in a 34-8 loss to the six-time defending champs. Okanagan hung tough for 30 minutes and led 8-3 at the half, before the real Raiders arrived to leave the Sun in their wake in the second half. Carson, who wanted to see energy, enthusiasm and effort from his players wasn’t disappointed. “I give the guys full credit, they responded out of the gate, they were emotional and they had a good first half,” he said. “But it was difficult to maintain that emotional high, and once the momentum turned in the Raiders’ favour it was difficult to get

Rockets add 20-year-old forward to bolster roster Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With a pair of veteran, over-age players shelved with injuries, the Kelowna Rockets went to the Western Hockey League’s waiver wire for help this week, claiming the rights to 20-year-old forward Cody Fowlie. A 6-foot, 205-pound native of Airdrie, Alta., Fowlie was in his third season with the Everett Silvertips. With J.T. Barnett (two to three weeks) and Mitchell Chapman (one month-plus) both on the sidelines, Dylen McKinlay was the only overage

player seeing duty for the Rockets. “Having just one 20-year-old in your lineup isn’t really enough,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “A lot of times, those older guys can come in and push the rest of your lineup, including the other over-age players. We want to see Cody come in here and compete for a spot.”

With the addition of Fowlie, the Rockets now have four 20-year-old players on the roster. Once all four are deemed healthy, the Rockets will have two weeks to decide which three will remain with the club. Fowlie will join the Rockets this week for a four-game road trip in Alberta. Kelowna will play four games in five nights, beginning Wednesday night in Medicine Hat against the Tigers. The Rockets (6-5-1-0) are coming off a productive week at home which featured a pair of victories. “We want to have the mindset of going out

there and coming back at a minimum of .500,” Huska said. “It’s a challenging situation with four games in five nights and all are in tough buildings. We want to go and play well and continue building on what we’ve done as a team so far this season.” The Rockets will be in Red Deer Friday, Edmonton Saturday, and Calgary on Sunday.

Warriors host Vees in unusual 11 a.m. start A special Tuesday morning edition of the B.C. Hockey League makes a stop at Royal LePage Place. At 11 a.m., the West Kelowna Warriors will play host to the defending national champion Penticton Vees. The unconventional start time is designed to accommodate school kids from the surrounding area who will be attending the game. The two Okanagan rivals will meet again Friday night in Penticton. With a four-game win streak, the Warriors have pushed their 2012-13 record to 8-2-0-3 and are just four points back on the Interior Division-leading Vees (11-2-0-1). West Kelowna picked up a pair of big road wins over the weekend, starting with a dramatic 4-3 double overtime victory

the teams combining for 49 minutes in time penalties plus four misconducts. West Kelowna also had forward Brent Lashuk and associate coach Brent Gough ejected from the game. Offesively, Marcus Basara paced the Warriors with a goal and two

assists, and now has 10 goals on the season. David Pope and Braxton Bilous each had a goal and an assist, and Seb Lloyd added two helpers. Lloyd leads the Warriors with 18 points on five goals and 13 assists. Despite a combative showing from both teams,

the Warriors were thrilled with the way the game played out. “Those are the ones that we all live for,” said Bilous afterwards. “Rough stuff, a bunch of goals, too…it’s always nice to play in those games.”

The Rockets (8-1-1) lead the Cariboo Cougars by one point for top spot in the BCMML. “I’m pleased with where our club is at right now,” said Rockets general manager David Michaud. “The thing I continue to like about our group is our team maturity, they don’t seem to get very high on themselves which is what we preach. This group knows that 10 games doesn’t make a season, and we also know we have a tough stretch coming up after our bye weekend.” The Rockets will return to action Nov. 3 and 4 when they host the Cougars at CNC.

Heat women golfers win national title

Heat women set for soccer playoffs

After being the bridesmaid in two of the last three years, the UBC Okanagan Heat womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf squad has claimed its first national golf title. Jennifer Woods, Jessica Kozak and Alana Kent captured the 2012 PING CCAA Golf National Championship Friday in Oshawa, Ont., with a one-stroke victory over the Holland College Hurricanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have come close a couple of times before so it feels great to finally win,â&#x20AC;? said Woods, whose team finished with a 501 total. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know we had won until they posted the numbers on the tscoreboard. It was a pretty amazing feeling.â&#x20AC;? The Heat had a siztable lead going into the final round and needed every stroke as their Friday score of 174 was their rhighest in the three days. Holland College shot well ton the third day with a 167 to cut the Heatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to one. Mike Darnbrough, the coach of the UBC Okanagan golf team, was glad

to have a lead heading into the final day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nice to have established a bit of a cushion over the first two days,â&#x20AC;? explains the coach on the win, but overall, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the girls are thrilled, it was very close today.â&#x20AC;? Jen Woods, based on her fourth place finish, made the tournament allstar team again, her third finish in the top five at the national championship during her career with UBC Okanagan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is very excited to go out a national champion,â&#x20AC;? said Darnbrough on Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final time at the CCAA championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jen was an outstanding leader in this tournament and throughout the season.â&#x20AC;? Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three day score was 240 (79-78-83). Kozak and Kent finished 13th and 14th respectively, Kozak was 264 (83-9091) and Kent 269 (88-8794).

Cody Bell over the championship was just one stroke higher than Deck at 222(74-7375) good enough for a top ten finish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy with my

play,â&#x20AC;? Bell comments from Oshawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal was to do better than I did in P.E.I. (at the 2011 CCAA Championships) where I was tied for tenth. I had the same result this year, so although it couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been better, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy with my result.â&#x20AC;?

The UBC Okanagan Heat will take on Quest University Friday at 4:30 p.m. in Squamish to open the PACWEST womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer championship. The defending provincial silver medalists are ranked second behind the No. 1 ranked Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack. The seminfinals will be played Saturday, and the final on Sunday. The Heat closed out the 2012 regular season with a 7-1-6 record after a win and a draw on their home turf over the weekend. On Saturday, UBCO downed VIU 2-0 on goals by Jennifer Kidd and Michelle Smith, and a shutout by Christine Tallon. On Sunday, keeper Sabrina Gasparac and Elizabeth Babcock closed out their five-year careers with the Heat as UBCO played to a 1-1 draw with Capilano.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking back over the five years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been amazingâ&#x20AC;? said Gasparac. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team has meant so much to me and Liz. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great to be a part of it. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more proud to be a Heat athlete and a part of the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team.â&#x20AC;? An emotional time for both players, they were greeted with flowers and hugs from their family and friends following the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve absolutely loved my time here,â&#x20AC;? reflected Babcock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Claireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been amazing, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned so much about soccer and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked to do it with a better group of girls. Lana Finley scored the lone goal in the 79th minute for the Heat.

HEAT MEN The UBCO men didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the playoffs but ended their PACWEST season in fine style with a 4-1 win Sunday over Capi-

lano. Austin Jones, Tanner Bridges, Dustin Luck and Dylan Abbott scored for the Heat who close the year at 2-7-5. On Saturday, the Heat tied VIU 1-1. The UBCO program also bid farwell to three fifth-year players: Dustin Luck, Zach Donaldson-Hall and Sean Causier, who scored Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone goal. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the end result the Heat was looking for but head coach Dante Zanatta was still complimentary of his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always disappointing when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t achieve the goals you set out at the beginning of the year,â&#x20AC;? said Zanatta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal was to win provincials and go to nationalsâ&#x20AC;Śbut I am proud of my team. They came in, worked week in and week out in training, and during the year we could have easily given up.â&#x20AC;?

ABSOLUTELY, THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE A LOT TOUGHER. WE DIDN’T SEE THEIR BEST IN THAT FIRST GAME. Mt. Boucherie coach Mike Godwin of the KSS team.

Kick off is 4 p.m. The 6:30 p.m. game at the Apple Bowl features Rutland and Salmon Arm. With a victory, the Bears (4-0) can clinch top spot in the Okanagan AAA Conference. The Owls (3-1) will look to knock off Boucherie and extend the fight for first at least one more week. The Bears shutout the Owls 37-0 in the season’s second week, but Boucherie coach Mike Godwin expects a much different KSS team Friday. “Absolutely, this game is going to be a lot tougher,” said Godwin. “We didn’t see their best in that first game.” When it comes to giving up points this season, the Bears continue to be one stingy team. The Bears posted their third shutout in four Okanagan AAA contests this season, blanking the Rutland Voodoos 20-0 on Fri-

The Voodoos didn’t score a point for the second week in a row. Rutland is awaiting the return of veteran quarterback Keith Prescott who has been sidelined since opening week with a dislocated knee camp. In other action, the Owls dumped Salmon Arm Friday 35-3.

Also scoring for Boucherie was Ronnie Deguevara on a 14-yard run, and quarterback Joe Court on a 12-yard scramble. Defensively, despite a number of key injuries, the Bears were again stellar as Curtis Urlacher had three tackles and a forced fumble which he recovered.

Sun search is on Sun from A21 it back. (Vancouver Island) is a very good football team and once they started making plays, the game got away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But again, our team did everything that was asked of them, they fought hard and there was no lack of effort.â&#x20AC;? Slotback Bobby Davis is one of seven players who is graduating from the Sun program. Despite a disappointing fifth and final season, the West Kelowna product has no regrets about his time in brown and orange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get started early on developing team chemistry and I think that kind of caught up with us this year,â&#x20AC;? said Davis, who will practice with the

CFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B.C. Lions for the rest of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a learning year for the organization, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve a lot of good people on the board and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get it figured out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously I hoped for better at the end, but I still have a lot of good memories of my five years here.â&#x20AC;? Until the Sun board of directors meet later this week, Carson canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t predict when the club might aim to have a new head coach in place. However, before Christmas would be a preferable timeline for the BCFC team. For the Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual award winners announced this week, see Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition of the Capital News.

son. The 18-year-old American-born forward is expected to remain with the University of Wisconsin Badgers for the 201213 season after he had his one-year suspension reduced this week by the NCAA. Kerdiles, who the NCAA alleges broke eligibility rules, will instead be required to miss only 30 per cent of the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;10 gamesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and

will be cleared to return to the Badgers Nov. 30. Kerdiles could have chosen to play with the Rockets this season, the WHL club that drafted the talented winger in the eighth round of the 2009 bantam draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decided to stay in Wisconsin,â&#x20AC;? said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get a player of his calibre would have been a huge bonus.

Nugget was spending way too much time outside alone due to children’s allergies, so we need to ﬁnd him a home where he can spend his time inside, cuddled up to his new guardian. He is truly a sweetheart, knows his basic commands and is very affectionate. He will bring his new family many years of companionship, love and loyalty. Nugget would quickly become your “BFF” if you adopt him. If you can give this guy a 2nd chance please come down and spend some time getting to know him.

Sasha needs to ﬁnd a new secure ‘forever’ home. She gets along well with children of all ages and other dogs. She knows her basic commands and we have found her to be a very calm dog who basks in the attention of humans. She can and will easily jump/climb a 6’ fence so she cannot be left alone in a yard. She is a lovely girl who knows exactly what she wants. She loves to play, run, sniff and check things out. This easy going girl would make a great companion if you are interested. Owner surrender

Jazzy is waiting for her ‘forever family” to come and collect her. She is super social with people, but is very dominant with other cats. She would love a home with NO other cats. She was pregnant, had her kittens, and is now soooo ready for a new home. She is super affectionate, and a social butterﬂy. Come down and spend some time getting to know her....you won’t be sorry.

ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE

Cookie is a sweet, gentle and strong Lab. She loves her toys, has lived with children, is good with cats and dogs. She enjoys car rides and anyone who is familiar with her breed will know what a happy and loyal dog they are. Cookie would make an all-around great family dog. If you can give her the home she deserves, please come down and spend some time getting to know her.

Westie is a very affectionate girl. She would appreciate a nice, quiet home, as she can become stressed somewhat easily. Her fav game is hide and seek, but she doesn’t like to be chased around, just found and cuddled. She will sit in your lap and purr away, although she can be a little skittsh around young children. Westie will be a rewarding companion if she is given the chance. Came in as stray

9 MONTHS OLD CHIHUAHUA/YORKSHIRE TERRIER X NEUTERED MALES The neighbours complained so that is why these 2 adorable boys are now at the shelter. Their breed can be quite the diggers and will run free if they escape, so a secure fence line is mandatory. We would love them to go to the same home, but the best home is most important... together or apart. They are used to being carried everywhere so are not great on the leash yet. They should never be taken anywhere off leash, being small and shy they may not return to you if scared off!. Both dogs would be a joy for any family that has the time and love to offer. They are both good with cats and dogs. Owner surrender

Mack is a real joy! He is strong, very energetic and a happy dog who is good with cats, and getting to know the other dogs. He has a barrel full of energy and respond well to direction. He is going to need an experienced, friendly owner to handle him. He will make a wonderful companion for an active guardian. Mack should quickly bond with a new family and provide them with loads of love & loyalty. If you wish to meet this handsome boy, please speak with our staff.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen seasonal fruits As apple pickers in the Okanagan finish picking the last of those crisp, bright tree fruits, so too are cranberry growers in the Fraser Valley using a very-distinctive way of harvesting the much-tinier orbs of red. Because they grow on a trailing vine that hugs the ground, picking cranberries is a job for snakes who also are comfortable hugging the ground. However, with the help of chambers of air inside, cranberries float, so most of those tart little berries are harvested by flooding the field, which has been surrounded by dykes for that purpose. The ripe cranberries are then gently beaten off their vines to float in a sea of bright red until gathered up by booms, loaded onto a conveyor belt and into a bin for the trip to be sorted and processed. It’s a unique and exciting harvest that is similar to that of apples only in that both result in packinghouses and containers full of bright, red fruit— and they’re both being harvested right now. Apples are sweet in flavour, so the addition of a tart berry like the blueberry really ramps up the flavour a notch, while cranberries are naturally very tart, so they benefit from the addition of sugar to make them palatable. All are full of beneficial antioxidants as well as various vitamins, minerals and fibre. They’re very good for you, so include some in your diet every day. For more recipes full of healthy fruits, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen wherever books are sold.

JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Apple/Blueberry Salsa for Meats This adds a new flavour dimension to a dinner of pork, ham, chicken, turkey or game meats, and is very attractive served alongside. 2 apples 1/4 c. (60 ml) onion 1 tbsp. (15 ml) butter 1 tsp. (5 ml) cornstarch 1 tsp. (5 ml) sugar salt and pepper, to taste 2/3 c. (150 ml) water 1 c. (250 ml) blueberries 1 tsp. (5 ml) lemon juice Peel, core and thinly slice apples and thinly slice onion.

Melt butter over medium heat in a heavy frypan and saute apples and onion for just a few minutes, or until tender. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Stir in the water. Add that mixture, along with half of the blueberries (frozen or fresh), to the frypan with the apples and onions, gently stirring until the mixture is thickened and the sauce is beginning to colour, just a few minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and the remaining blueberries. Serves 4.

Cranberry Grain Muffins These sugar-topped beauties with tart, antioxidant-packed bites of red make terrific snacks or breakfast gems. It wouldn’t have such a delightful punch of flavour, but you could probably substitute the sweetened, dried cranberries, or Craisins in these, but delete the half cup of fine sugar and I don’t think you would need to chop them. 2 c. (500 ml) fresh cranberries 1/2 c. (125 ml) fine sugar 1/4 c. (60 ml) brown sugar 1/4 c. (60 ml) butter 1 egg 1 c. (250 ml) flour 1/2 c. (125 ml) whole wheat flour 1/4 c. (60 ml) oat bran 1/4 c. (60 ml) cornmeal 2 tsp. (10 ml) baking powder 1 tsp. (5 ml) cinnamon 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) salt 1/2 c. (125 ml) milk

TOPPING: 1 tbsp. (15 ml) butter 1 tbsp. (15 ml) flour 1 tbsp. (15 ml) brown sugar 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) nutmeg Pre-heat oven to 375 F. You may use frozen instead of fresh cranberries. Use a food chopper to cut up the berries very coarsely, then add fine sugar (icing sugar works) and mix again. Cream brown sugar and butter, then add an egg and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients and add, alternately, with the milk, to the creamed mixture. Do not overmix. Add in the cranberries and divide the batter amongst a dozen greased muffin cups. Moosh the topping ingredients together with a spatula and divide it amongst the muffins, so each has a little of sugary topping. Bake for about 25 minutes. Makes 12.
