Food bank dealing with record demand

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna Community Food Bank operations manager Rob Weller wasn’t surprised when he read a recent report that suggested Canadian food banks are now assisting more people than ever. According to HungerCount 2012, a report on hunger and food bank use in Canada, the need for food assistance programs in Canada grew this year. In March 2012, 882,188 separate individuals received food—38 per cent of whom were children. That represents an increase of 2.4 per cent over 2011 and is 31 per cent higher than pre-recessionary levels. According to Weller, the Kelowna food bank started noticing a significant difference last summer. “Summer is usually a little slower here and this summer wasn’t,” said Weller. “Usually by the end of August, our shelves are the emptiest, so we knew with numbers being up in July and August that the warehouse was going to be severely depleted.” Community support poured in at the time; however, See Demand A7

FRUIT PICKERS…A dedicated group of UBCO students are committing their free time this fall to salvage and deliver fresh, local produce to the Kelowna Community Food Bank that would otherwise be left to drop from trees and go to waste. This is the second year the UBCO Food Rescue Club will be gleaning selected orchards with the goal of helping to provide children, families and individuals who need assistance from the food bank with nutritious, locally-grown fruit. Last fall, the UBCO Food Rescue Club gleaned and donated 1,450 pounds of produce to the Kelowna Community Food Bank.

▼ ASHLEE HYATT TRIAL

Testimony from teen murder trial under fire from defence until defence lawyers brought focus to the situation by asking what she meant by the question: “Who stabbed her?” Considering there were just three other girls at the party that night, and the fatal interaction was only supposed to be between the accused and Hyatt, there should have been little confusion, lawyer Donna Turko contended. “At the time I was like, ‘Oh

my God I didn’t want it to be true,’” the witness explained, adding that she did know it was the accused who stabbed Hyatt. But she was her “best friend” then, she said, and the experience of holding her sweater to Hyatt’s neck, as she bled out seemed surreal. “I was not able to believe that my best friend was able to do something so horrific,” she said.

Ropes course planned for Myra-Bellevue park Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

A June Springs Road family have applied to construct a ropes course just inside the boundary of Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park, near their home. A park use permit would be required to operate commercially within the park, and that application is currently being reviewed by the province, reports John Trewhitt, protected areas section head for this region. “We’re not proposing a zipline or an adventure park, just a little course of ropes and wood for people to climb from tree to tree,” explained proponent Rolf von Andrian. Small platforms are constructed at various levels in the trees and connected by different types

of bridges. Using safety harnesses, participants maneuver from platform to platform. Rope courses are used as corporate team building exercises or for personal development, he explained. Such courses are common in Europe where companies take teams of employees to encourage teamwork on the job and to challenge them. Von Andrian was a lawyer in Germany and his wife Kathrin was a phys ed teacher. Both are ski instructors and would like to use those skills and their mountain climbing skills here as well. They moved into their new home adjacent to the park last summer with their four youngsters and they operate a bed and

breakfast as well as hosting a riding stable on their 12-acre property. Everything in the ropes course would be removable, with nothing fixed and there wouldn’t be any structures built in the park; no lights or electricity would be needed, he said. There wouldn’t be any permanent buildings. He says the course would be hidden in the trees. The idea is that the course would operate May to October, and von Andrian estimates there could be 20 people using it on weekdays and 50 a day on the weekends, so overall he envisions there could be 5,000 to 6,000 visitors over the whole season. It would require a few hectares near the parking lot for the Angel Springs trail off June Springs

Road. Von Andrian says before applying to the province for a permit for the course, he first talked to representatives from Tourism Kelowna, the Chamber of Commerce, City of Kelowna, economic development commission, regional district and

the Friends of the South Slopes. The family has invited the neighbours to drop by their home if they have questions about the proposal Sunday, Nov. 4, noon to 6 p.m., at Myra Canyon Ranch, 4675 June Springs Rd., and others interested are also welcome.

Trewhitt said parks looks for operations that add to the recreation values of the park, like guiding services or bike rentals; something that enhances the recreation value of the park. First, he says they look at the management plan for the park and see

if there’s zoning for the activity being proposed, but often with new trends there won’t be a policy developed yet to cover new activities. They try to adjudicate applications within 140 days, he said. The website for the course is www.ropercourse.ca

First responders testify about crime scene in murder trial

Fall leaves left soggy by increase in rainfall

Judie Steeves

STAFF REPORTER

First responders who testified in Corey Wolf Swite’s murder trial Wednesday morning recalled finding the 85-year-old victim’s body in a state of undress, with a condom wrapper left nearby. Primary care paramedics Barry Nicol and Daniel Dinsmore arrived at an apartment building on Fairview Road in Penticton around 8 a.m. Aug. 4, 2006. “She was at the end of the bed, partly covered up with a blanket,” said Nicol. According to Nicol,

the 85-year-old woman was on her back with both legs hanging over the end of the bed. She wasn’t wearing undergarments. “The lady’s positioning was of interest to begin with,” said Dinsmore. “That’s not typically how you’d find someone of that age.” After confirming the victim was dead, Nicol covered her with a blanket and began to search for identification, including a B.C. CareCard. Nicol said he searched through three purses before finding the identification he needed. He noted he didn’t re-

call noticing money in any of the bags. While waiting for Mounties to arrive at the scene, Dinsmore said he used the washroom in the apartment and then flushed the toilet. Dinsmore told the defence attorney he didn’t think he was dealing with a crime scene at the time or else he likely wouldn’t have used the bathroom. According to Nicol, his co-worker spotted a condom wrapper on the bedroom floor after returning from the washroom. The paramedics shared this information with the constable who arrived at

the scene at approximately 8:20 a.m. The trial will continue Thursday morning. Swite was previously found guilty of first-degree murder of the Penticton woman by a jury of his peers in 2009. He had been sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility of parole for 25 years, but was successful in a bid to have the conviction set aside, based on some procedural issues with the jury. Swite, who was 21 at the time of the alleged crime, will see the case decided on by judge alone this time. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

STAFF REPORTER

More rain has fallen in the past three weeks than in the previous three months, including one day that set a new record for the amount of rainfall. Meteorologist Jim Steele with the Environment Canada weather services office, reports that there was one “big, wet day” on Monday, Oct. 29, when a new record was set for the day, of 15 mm, compared to 11.8 mm, the previous record. However, it was nowhere close to the record rainfall for a single day in October, which was 24 mm on Oct. 28, 1996. It was still raining as he spoke and the month wasn’t quite finished, but already 40 mm had fallen, compared to the normal October rainfall of 25.5 mm, some 125 per cent of normal. But, there’s been no snow recorded yet at the lower elevations around the

valley. Temperatures have been about a half degree above normal, largely due to the warmer temperatures during the first 10 days in the month. Even when the tap was turned on Oct. 10, it remained mild until Oct. 20 or so, so only in the past 10 days has the weather turned cool and unsettled, noted Steele. “It’s a total reversal from hot and dry to cool and wet,” he added. Although there was a total of just five mm during all of August and September, there was a total of 29 mm during July until it dried right up on the 22; and June was soggy, with twice the normal amount of rain, at 92 mm. The forecast is for continued wet weather, although there could be a ray of sunshine on Friday, before cool and unsettled weather continues. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

A provincial cabinet minister says the government realizes something must be done to support water quality improvement projects in Kelowna, like the one ratepayers rejected last week in the South East Kelowna Irrigation District. Bill Bennett, the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, says if all five Kelowna major water utilities agree on what projects are priorities, the province’s previous policy on not permitting improvement districts to apply for infrastructure funds from senior government won’t get in the way of allowing utilities such as SEKID to apply. It might be necessary for the utility to apply

Bill Bennett through the city, if the federal government requires the request to come from a civic government. But that shouldn’t stand in the way of obtaining funding assistance, he said. Although Bennett was only appointed to his cabinet post two months ago, he served as minister in 2009 as well. At that time, he visited Kelowna and met with the utilities to discuss issues preventing improvement districts from applying for senior government grants to help with capital projects. He told them then if

the five utilities—SEKID, City of Kelowna, Black Mountain Irrigation District, Glenmore Ellison Irrigation District and Rutland Waterworks—collaborated to produce a plan for the best, lowestcost solution to the problem of water quality in Kelowna not meeting Interior Health objective, consideration would be given to an application for funding. But agricultural interests had to be in the foreground. The utilities formed the Kelowna Joint Water Committee and the Kelowna Integrated Water Supply Plan was produced a year ago for Interior Health and the utilities’ boards. The draft plan concluded that between $40 million and $361 million would be required to bring all five major water utilities to first, meet health objectives and then filtration followed by interconnection throughout the

city. It prioritized work to be done on all five utilities and the SEKID upgrades were near the top of the list. However, last week ratepayers in that district vetoed borrowing $15.3 million to embark on a $22.3 million project because many said they felt senior government funding should be made available to help with the cost of the improvements, as it has in other areas. Bennett feels it’s unfortunate the vote (by an alternate approval process) was held, when his ministry and the utilities have been working on a way to solve some of the problems. He believes there will be another infrastructure program from the federal government in 2013 or 2014, at which time the top Kelowna project could be put forward. “I absolutely believe senior government has a role in helping water dis-

tricts with water quality improvement projects,” he told the Capital News. While he wouldn’t speculate on who the successful applicants would be, he said he’s confident drinking water projects would qualify and believes the Kelowna projects are important. Bennett added he’s aware of the history of how the districts got started to supply irrigation water to farmland in Kelowna and how they’ve upgraded to supply safe water for domestic users as their areas grew. It’s a unique situation in the province, he noted. All three local MLAs have encouraged him to come and to ensure he understood the issues here, he noted. Now, he said, a full implementation plan, needs to be prepared by the KJWC, identifying the priorities. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

BigSteelBox launches new conversion division One of Canada’s fastest growing moving and storage companies based out of Kelowna plans to put used steel shipping containers into its business model. The company has launched a new division called BigSteelBox Structures, a new service offering steel containers modified into living quarters, offices, labs and offices for construction and industrial sites in remote areas across the country. The company, which has 18 stores across Canada, has built its success around changing the way people looked at moving and storage with its BigSteelBox shipping containers and the idea that BigSteelBox is a better way to store and move stuff. With the launch of the Structures division, BigSteelBox is now aiming to change the way people look at shipping containers. BigSteelBoxes are sixfoot to 53-foot containers made of eight-gauge, ISO certified, ship worthy steel. While BigSteelBox

has modified containers for years, the new structures division will be focused on larger scale projects and creating a product line for the more common mods including offices, guard shacks and mobile labs. BigSteelBox Structures had its debut at this year’s Global Petroleum Show in Calgary where it exhibited luxury living quarters for work camps built from shipping containers. The company recently merged with Mission Group, a developer whose condo building expertise has been utilized to create a display of living quarters out of a big steel box. The living quarters is one 40-foot BigSteelBox modified into two separate spaces, each with a private bathroom, builtin cabinets and wardrobe, wall-mounted media hub, 32-inch inch swivel TV and extra long single bed. The result is a finish that rivals a high-end condo. Jason Siebenga, president of BigSteelBox says, “A lot of companies op-

Cheeky calendar concept gets another try Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

It worked for hospice, so the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation hopes it will work again for KGH. The foundation and a local company that operates retirement facilities in Kelowna, Regency Retirement Homes, have joined forces to publish a tonguein-cheek “racy” calendar featuring scantily clad seniors, a few KGH doctors, a city councillor and Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray in a bid to raise money for the hospital.

The unit is where people recovering from surgery recuperate for extended periods. Organizers of the calendar project hope to raise $50,000 from sales of the $10 calendars and Regency has offered to match any amount raised to a total of $25,000. Gray said based on his prior experience with the hospice calendar, the models who appear should get used to some kind-hearted teasing from their friends. “I say just sit back and enjoy it. It’s for a great cause,” said Gray, 72. The calendars sell for $10 year and are available at the four Regency retire-

ment homes, as well as at the KGH Foundation gift shop in the lobby of the hospital’s new Centennial Building Sheri MacKenzieGibson, manager of Regency’s Missionwood property, and the organizer of the calendar project, said 5,000 calendars have been printed and all money raised will go to the foundation. The foundation will then hand over the money to the hospital to create a recreation lounge on 4 East, where patients will be able to relax and spend time with family and other recuperating patients while still at KGH. She said most of the patients who use 4 East are seniors and that’s why the residents wanted to be part of the fund-raising calendar project. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ ASHLEE HYATT TRIAL

Love triangle the focus of defence lawyer’s attention Trial from A1 highlighted one match-up that sparked the fight that took Hyatt’s life. They said that the scuffle started when Hyatt called the accused a “slut” for making out with one boy when her boyfriend was nearby. According to witness testimony the accused, then 16, seemed overwhelmed by the situation, drunkenly shrugging her shoulders and muttering

things like, “uh, I didn’t mean to.” Then that confusion allegedly gave way to violence when she and Hyatt met in the street. The accused was said to have brought out a knife, and Hyatt was fatally wounded. Defence, however, contended that the situation was less straightforward. For one, they indicated that the knife hadn’t been brought to the fight by the

accused. The host of the party may have carried it outside, defence suggested to witnesses, who denied the statement. Then they pointed out that the accused wasn’t just in an ordinary fight. All the girls had been verbally attacking her the night Hyatt was killed, and by their assessment the situation fit into a current cultural narrative. “The comments people were making to me remind me of bully-

ing,” said Turko. That bullying storyline, however, was staunchly denied by the witness, who stressed that there was just one teen fighting another. “They were both equal in the situation,” she said. The veracity of that statement was something that Turko called into question later, pointing out that the witness seemed to have deviated from her narrative on more than one occasion.

Food bank client numbers keep rising Demand from A1 overall donations are still behind last year’s numbers and the food bank is eyeing down a Christmas season that could bring the highest demand the organization has ever seen. Weller added the annual Canada Post food drive, which typically brings in 30,000 to 40,000 pounds of food, has been cancelled this year. “It’s going to be a challenge for us to get through Christmas; we’re buying more food than we ever had

before.” The food bank operations manager said the public has continually come to the rescue through tough times in the past, but it’s a shortterm solution. “Long-term we need government to step forward. It’s kind of crazy that we live in a pretty wealthy country yet we have so many going without (food).” The Kelowna food bank is the fourth largest food bank in B.C. It served 2,410 separate individuals in March of this year—an increase of five per cent from the year

before. Forty per cent of those helped were children. “The gap between the rich and poor continues to grow in the Central Okanagan due to a lack of meaningful and secure employment, the absence of a living wage, lack of affordable housing and the rising cost of living,” said Lenetta Parry, associate executive director at the Kelowna food bank. “Some of our clients are working two or three jobs and still struggling to get by.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

The teen explained that her original statement was given when she was drunk, after the party. More than two years have past since then, so her perspective may have changed. The trial continues Thursday.

Many of us were glued to our televisions Monday night as Hurricane Sandy came ashore and battered the east coast of the U.S. Strong winds and rising water caused extensive damage in several states and forced the usually vibrant New York City to grind to a virtual halt. In Ontario and Quebec, residents were also left coping through the emergency. There is nothing we can do to prevent storms, earthquakes or

other natural disasters, but it emphasizes the need to prepare. Locally, officials with Okanagan Emergency Management and other jurisdictions have comprehensive plans to tackle whatever comes along. Such foresight was obvious earlier this year as a swollen Shuswap River caused extensive flooding and the perennial wildfire threat dominated much of the summer. All of us as individuals also have a responsibility to be pre-

pared. Make sure your home is secure, stock up on emergency supplies and consider how to efficiently evacuate if required. But while natural forces may be superior, there is one thing that can’t be extinguished and that’s the human spirit. As we have seen in Haida Gwaii and New York, and even here locally, people come together when challenged. It is that sense of community that triumphs over all. —Vernon Morning Star

sponsibilities to find solutions to the country’s debt crisis and put their partisan self interests aside. Taxes will have to go up, and entitlements such as social security and health care need to be adjusted to face future fiscal realities. The economy slowdown will continue for years to come, and further tax breaks that have nothing to do with starting new businesses will just create profits for offshore bank accounts, not the so-called trickle down affect from rich to middle class to the poor. The concentration of wealth in the U.S. has increased among the five per cent of the filthy rich, at the expense of everyone else. Romney is a walking, talking characture of that eco-

nomic reality, yet he believes maintaining those economic principles will be good for the country despite the past 12 years of evidence it is not. But fear and uncertainty have played to his advantage, something that Obama has struggled to overcome. In part that’s because of the relentless partisan Republican campaign over the last four years to discredit him at every turn, including where he was even born. Obama has shown a distaste for the petty power politics in the Washington D.C. beltway since his election in 2008, and that leaves many to wonder what his second term would be like if the Congress and possibly the U.S. Senate have elected Repub-

lician majorities. He would be a president without a mandate, a lameduck leader. I think most Americans who are not on the political extremist fringe like Obama, but they remain wary of where the economy is headed and of tax increases. And whoever wins, the margin of victory will be slim so the partisan Liberal/Conservative split across the country will remain, with no leader or political party willing or able to bridge that gap, more interested only in building voter constituency big enough to win elections. Not much of a bright outlook for a country that remains Canada’s most important trading partner.

LETTERS ▼ HOUSING

Study shows Kelowna is unaffordable To the editor: Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray seems to think there is a myth out there that housing in Kelowna is some of the most expensive in Canada and is unaffordable. Well, it’s not a myth but rather, published fact. The eighth annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey (2012) by Wendall Cox Consultancy in conjunction with Robert Bruegmann rates Kelowna as unaffordable. This detailed document speaks to affordable housing, particularly the ranking of homes for median price verses median household income. The median multiplemeans affordable or unaffordable. A score of 3.0 and under is affordable and 5.1 and over is severely unaffordable Here is a partial list of Canadian cities with their median multiple score, median house price and median household in-

come: Edmonton, AB 3.5 $293,000 $84,100 Calgary, AB 3.9 $353,700 $91,400 Saskatoon, SK 4.0 $274,700 $68,300 Toronto, ON 5.5 $406,400 $73,600 Kelowna, BC 6.6 $360,000 $58,100 Vancouver, BC10.6 $678,500 $63,800 Victoria, BC 6.8 $417,300 $61,000 Clearly, Kelowna (and Southern B.C.) are severely unaffordable. Why? One only has to look at median household income and you will see. We cannot afford to buy houses here with the income we are bring in. How many people work two or three jobs here? Why? In 2011, Statistics Canada listed Kelowna as having 10.8 per cent growth in population and West Kelowna as having seen 13.5 per cent growth. The births and deaths were balanced. It appears

that people are still coming here and attempting to buy homes. But which groups? The retired or semi-retired with disposable income or young families who need to work. An article in Capital News (Feb. 14, 2012) on Emma Talbott’s survey of UBC Okanagan graduates as part of her Master of Arts studies concluded that 51 per cent of graduates in 2011 left the area. A further 67 per cent of alumni left in 2011. Talbot’s study says a combination of factors made them move— a lack of career opportunities in their field, the high price of housing and low wages were the main factors. One disturbing reason Talbot noted was that graduates found Kelowna’s attitude “stifling, conservative and not forwardthinking.” If our graduates believe this, you have to wonder what world business thinks.

Although we have highly educated graduates, we do not provide them with an environment to work in B.C. If they had careers in their fields of study here, they could buy homes, stay, raise families and contribute back to the tax base. Talbot says that that a graduate retention program, such as the one in Saskatchewan, will grant back a portion of the student’s tuition, up to $20,000. How about that in B.C.? UBCO’s expansion, and Okanagan College’s announcement in September of a $33-million project that will see the expansion and renovation of the college’s trades training facility here are welcome but still there is no work in the valley. We are training a skilled workforce for the other provinces. Who do we want to be when we grow up, Kelowna?

Forty years ago we were all about agriculture. Thirty years ago the retirement sector came for the resort lifestyle. Twenty years ago we started to become a world leader in wines and vacation destinations. But what are we now? So Walter Gray, (West Kelowna Mayor) Doug Findlater, (Economic Development Officer)Robert Fine, and all other innovators of the valley, let’s decide. Tourism, resorts and retirement are three pillars but we need one more to move our Okanagan culture into a forward-thinking family community with growth and opportunities for young graduates and entrepreneurs who are trying to stay here. Just don’t wait too long, the stage coaches are leaving daily. Mark Pawlessa West Kelowna

▼ CITY

Parkade alternative approval process ‘flawed’ To the editor: If the results of (Kelowna’s) latest alternative approval process says anything, it should show how this process is flawed. How can (Kelowna City) council truly accept the results? The results concerning the planned new park-

ade showed that only 165 citizens (0.2 per cent of the required 9,484 voters) took the time to cast their objections. I do not believe for one second that there were not many others who objected. Many may not have had the time to travel to city hall (Monday to

Friday, between 8 a.m. and 4. p.m.) to cast their objections. This begs the question, does council really view this process as due diligence? Could council havemade this process more accessible to voters who live in Rutland, Mission or

Glenmore and saved them the trek into the downtown core? No, council banked on voter apathy and it looks like it got what it hoped for. If council goes ahead and accepts the results of the alternative approval process as valid, shame

on it. This is akin to having a test where 99.9 per cent of students fail the test. Perhaps the test was flawed. Personally, if council accepts the results, I will lose faith in its wisdom. Joyce Mainland Kelowna

▼ SEKID

Serious questions need to be asked after vote To the editor: I’d like to make some comments regarding the South-East Kelowna Irrigation District’s reverse referendum results pertaining to the costs associated with their proposed water upgrades. Homeowners in the SEKID area voted overwhelmingly against borrowing millions of dollars for water upgrades. The quality of drinking water in Kelowna is not a new issue. The Kelowna Joint Water Committee was working on water upgrade problems when I was a member of the committee from 2008 to 2011. I participated in two submissions to the prov-

incial finance committee outlining the high cost associated with bringing all of Kelowna up to Canadian Drinking Water Standards and we asked for cost-sharing of these expenses. Is the looming election the reason there might be money for these upgrades now? If so, the government needs to ask some serious questions before doling out cash to water purveyors as an election goodie. For instance, will the proposed upgrades satisfy Interior Health or will more costly work be necessary before standards are met? Can SEKID continue to make required upgrades

to their system after the initial work has been done? Does SEKID have a large enough consumer base to fund such upgrades? Perhaps the most pointed question should be, does Kelowna really need five separate water purveyors? SEKID is not the only water district to have costly upgrades planned and/ or underway. Water upgrade costs should be shared locally, provincially and federally. However, water governance questions should be discussed and resolved locally and provincially so scenarios such as the one SEKID is facing don’t happen again. We need a government

that spends our money prudently and respects the tax payers’ contribution to this province. We don’t need a gov-

ernment that will try to buy your vote just before the election. Graeme James Kelowna

NEWS ▼ POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION

Signs of a struggling student Y our son or daughter has been attending college or university for about nine weeks and you really don’t know whether they are doing well or failing. Here are some signs to look for if you think they may be struggling. This list was created by Skip Downing, an English professor at Baltimore Community College and author of On Course: Strategies for Creating Success in College and Life. The first sign is that they will tell you they are victims. In other words that failed mid-term isn’t about how they studied for the test, it has more to do with the professor not liking them or nothing on the exam was covered in class. I had a student tell me once that his instructor never covered any of the exam material in class

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens and yet he was the only one who failed the test. Another sign is a sense of aimlessness. They tend not to have much motivation and are not sure they’re doing the right thing right now by being a student. This is an important clue because without the drive to succeed they probably won’t make it. You need to enjoy what you are studying because if you can’t see the goal at the end, it’s hard to motivate yourself to do the work. Number three is procrastination. They know they have to study, they

know they need to attend class and they know that 30-page paper is due at the end of November and they don’t even have a topic. Sign four is an unwillingness to take advice. This advice can be from you, but it also comes from other students and professors. If they are struggling and they are not willing to get help they may be looking for a way out. All colleges and universities provide support to students such as learning centres where students can access tutoring in most subject areas. Sign five relates to the choices they make. When they should be making good decisions such as attending class regularly, completing assignments and studying, they are engaging in self-sabotaging habits such as partying too much, playing video

games or spending hours on facebook. The sixth sign is not being fully engaged in the learning process. For them, sitting through a lecture is boring rather than interesting. They are not open enough to learn new ideas and skills. Sign number seven is a really important. If your son or daughter is behaving the same way they did when they were in Grade 10 you really have a problem. If they haven’t matured emotionally to deal with college and university study they will probably not last into second year. If you see them portray strong emotional dysfunction such as anger over a failed exam, depression, anxiety over attending class or the need to liked by everyone they need some serious help.

BE A FAN DAY…Kelowna CMP Const. Kris Clark (left) and his fellow police officers sported red Special Olympics laces in their boots in support of Special Olympics BC, represented in the photo above (from left) by Laura Graham, Joanna Morris and Tony Wilkinson, as part of the Be A Fan Day celebration last Thursday. The festivities marked the 25th anniversary of the Law Enforcement Torch Run in Canada and recognized the support that many B.C. law enforcement members show for Special Olympics. I would highly recommend that these students visit their counseling office and get some expert advice. Many students have trouble transitioning from high school to college, and without the support of the counseling office, many might not have graduated. The last sign— and another that I believe warrants a visit with a counselor — is the feeling that

they don’t belong. Many students, usually those who are the first in their family to attend a postsecondary institution or adult learners, often wonder if they have what it takes to be successful. They see their classmates as more capable and smarter. They underestimate their own ability to succeed and think they won’t make it. It usually takes a few successful

semesters for these students to realize they belong in school just like everyone else. So don’t hesitate to try to get your son and daughter to talk about their college experience and, if necessary, to go visit that counseling office to get some support. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

Kwantlen of course. One of my favourite aspects of the industry in this day and age, specifically with men, is that pairing patterns with patterns and textures with textures is actually acceptable. Surprise! Don Cherry on the other handâ&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave it at that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to play with colours and spice it up a little boys! With winter approaching at a rapid speed this year, these types of outfit enhancements will have you looking like a boss in no time. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s begin with a plaid scarf. Picture this: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s -130C on Monday morning, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snowing, and getting out of bed seems like torture. This is the perfect time to add your new favourite accessory for the chilly walk to your car. Class it up with a black pea coat and a pair of dark wash jeans. Voila! Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone from a six to a 10. By 2013 youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be a changed man, with the classiest wardrobe of all your friends! (And probably the biggest line up of ladies as well!) Happy shopping gentlemen!

By Sam Hill, Contributor I may have developed a small, and expensive obsession. I have had a basic beauty routine for years now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wash face with soap (yes, bar soap), bronzer, mascara, done. My friend introduced me to some great products that are now most likely to become staples in my beauty routine. The product I picked up was the fresh Soy Face Cleanser. Time to put the bar of soap aside. One week into using this cleanser and I knew I was hooked. I have already noticed less dryness in my skin! Not only does this cleanser rejuvenate your skin, but it also removes eye and face makeup very easily. The cleanser is $44 at Sephora, so about 10 times the price of a bar of soap, but I think that by purchasing more expensive face products I will be more inclined to use them and reap the benefits. The next product I got at Sephora was the Pink Sugar Eau de Toilette. I love this scent! It is very sweet and reminds me of cotton candy, and it lasts all day. I will likely be making this one my signature scent. Fitting for someone with the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sammy Sweetheartâ&#x20AC;?, right?

Today, the Act applies to all waters in Canada that can float a canoe including ditches, brooks, streams and fields temporarily flooded in spring. The volume of applications for approval is so large that there are inevitable backlogs, delaying essential infrastructure projects by months and even years. In line with the federal government’s commitment to returning to streamlining the regulatory process and encouraging long-term economic growth and job creation, the proposed amend-

▼ JUSTIN PAUL FASHIONS

New shop offers fashion options, accessories STRAIGHT FROM DEHART

Maxine DeHart

ustin Paul Fashions is a unique ladies fashion shop that has a little bit of everything, located in downtown Kelowna at 1296 Ellis St. Owned by Stan Sommerville and managed by Karen Voisin (former manager of Kolu in Spall Plaza), Justin Paul Fashions carries an exclusive line of fashions designed by Shiela Keijhron with the artwork of Daphne Odjij (Stan’s mother). Along with accessories, the store also features Bed Stu Boots, J Shoes, Tsubo Shoes and brands of Ca Va de Soi, Nor, Cecile Benac and Simon Chang. I purchased a lovely Kaida black chiffon drape style top, which I’ve found is one of the most versatile pieces in my closet. They also have some great larger purses for businesswomen on the go. Call 250-860-3666. Following one of the tightest races in the eightyear history of the B.C. Restaurant Hall of Fame voting, the 2012 inductees have been decided. Leading the way was our very own Sandhill Wines master winemaker Howard Soon. Capturing the category of “Friend of the Industry,” Soon received this prestigious honour for being “an individual who has provided exceptional support to the res-

taurant industry—a supplier, member of the media, or politician who has consistently supported B.C.’s restaurant industry.” While in Vancouver this weekend, I picked up The Province newspaper and saw a wonderful picture of Howard at the gala awards banquet, and I personally can’t think of anyone more deserving to receive that honour. Edo Japan has opened in the Food Court at Orchard Park Shopping Centre. There are 70 Edo Japans in Alberta and 15 in B.C.—including two in Vernon, one in Penticton, one in West Kelowna and now the new Kelowna location. Owned and operated by franchisees Nelson and Estrella Rodriguez, the restaurant offers fresh and healthy Japanese Teppan-style cooking, which is prepared hot and fast with their 450-degree Teppan grills. Alongside its signature side dishes such as sukiyaki beef and teriyaki chicken, Edo Japan offers diverse meal choices including yakisoba noodles, udon soup, fresh California Rolls and many other creations. Their most cherished menu item is the signature Teriyaki sauce that is made fresh daily and served warm over all the Teppan-style meals. Edo was founded by Reverend Susumu Ikuta, a Japanese Buddhist minister who opened the first restaurant in 1979 in South Centre Mall in Calgary.

ROTARY DONATION…When the members of Kelowna’s Morningside Rotary Club heard about some cattle issues which were causing problems at Silver Lake camp, it was decided the best solution would be to send a task force of Rotarians to sort out the cows. Silver Lake camp is run by the YMCA of the Okanagan and aims to provide young people with the opportunity to experience the outdoor life and an introduction to camping. The Silver Lake site is shared with some local cattle and as you can imagine that brings one or two challenges in respect of the shared land. In the centre of the camp is a large football pitch sized area which is used for sports and other activities and the problem lies with the condition of this ground after the cattle have been present. The Morningside club’s mission was to build a fence around the area to keep the cattle out yet allow access for grass cutting equipment and other vehicles. A team of the Morningside club members headed up to Silver Lake and spent the day driving posts, hanging gates and building fences.

Kelowna Rockets look to cool down the red-hot Kamloops Blazers Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

During his four-plus seasons with three different teams in the Western Hockey League, Dylen McKinlay has had his share of battles with the Kamloops Blazers. The 20-year-old Kelowna Rockets’ forward expects few will rival the intensity and excitement surrounding Thursday night’s matchup with the Blazers at Prospera Place. On top of being the No. 1-ranked team in the Canadian Hockey League, Kamloops (16-0-0-1) is riding a club-record 14game winning streak. While not nearly as hot as the Blazers, the Rockets (8-6-1-1) have been playing some decent hockey of their own with four wins and a shootout loss over the last six games. “It’s going to be pretty exciting, it’s going to be a really good test to see where we’re at,” said McKinlay, who was acquired by the Rockets from Kootenay in September. “The first couple of games we played them tough, we had a chance to win them both but we didn’t. I think we owe them one, so we’re all excited about it.” The teams met in a

home-and-home series to open the WHL season, with the Blazers winning both times—6-5 in overtime and 3-2. In each game, the Rockets fell victim to a potent Blazers’ power play which is currently operating at 34 per cent efficiency, second best in the WHL. Safe to say, limiting the damage by the likes of the dangerous JC Lipon

Prospera Place 7 p.m. Nov. 1 (40 points), Colin Smith (39 points) and Tim Bozon (30 points) will be crucial to the Rockets’ success on Thursday. “There are a couple keys for us, (goalie) Jordon Cooke will need to have a good night and we can’t take foolish penalties,” said Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton. “If you give them power plays, they’ll run up the score on you. The (Blazers) are a runand-shoot type of team, so we need to compete hard,

be physical and stay disciplined.” Although Hamilton would prefer Kamloops to be chasing his team in the standings, the Rockets GM regards the Blazers’ resurgence as a force in the B.C. Division is a positive development for both organizations. Hamilton is hopeful the Rockets and Blazers can rekindle the heated rivalries that were prevalent a decade ago. “Hopefully we can get back to where we used to be, where all the games really mean something,” Hamilton said. “The games were exciting, there was emotion and the fans were into it. The rivalry we had was unreal. “It’s up to us to chase them, but I’m thrilled for those guys in Kamloops,” he added. “(Owners) Tom Gaglardi and Mark Recchi have done a great job, (GM) Craig Bonner has done a wonderful job of building that team. It’s great to see them doing well and it’s good for our team, too.” Thursday’s game opens a four-game home stand for Kelowna. The Rockets will host Prince George Saturday, Edmonton Wednesday and Red Deer next Friday.

U19 Crows boost record to 5-0 A somewhat undermanned Kelowna Crows U19 squad bumped its record to a perfect 5-0 in B.C. Rugby Union action with a convincing win in Kamloops on Saturday. With just 16 players making the trip, the Crows took care of Burnaby Lakes by a 46-5 score. Six minutes into the first half the Crows drew first blood when Alex Ballingall, playing on an injured ankle, ran in a try off of a penalty kick. Four minutes later the Crows found the Burnaby Lake in-goal again

as loose head prop Max Drechsler scored a try off of a rolling maul. Everything continued to go the Crows way in the first half as winger Nico Carboni poked a grubber past the Burnaby Lake defensive line that was chased down by outside centre Dustin Prehofer for a try. Inside centre Jake Pilon made good on the conversion and the Crows were up 17-nil. Shortly afterwards, Pilon caught the ball off of a Burnaby Lake knock on and ran it in 15 metres for

a try. Second row Graeme McKay struck next for the Crows as he punched in a try from four metres out to bring the score to 29-nil at the half. More Kelowna domination in the second half as Ballingall went 40 metres for another score, followed by fullback Amrit Mahal who broke threw the Burnaby Lake defensive line and sprinted 50 metres down the pitch to score a try right under the posts. Hooker Lyndon Duncan capped off the scoring

for the Crows by punching in a try off of a penalty kick near the end of the half to bring the score to 46-5 at the final whistle. The Crows made some mental mistakes in the match, and both Coaches Doyle and Bullock agreed that the players have a ways to go to reach their full potential. However, the coaches also conceded that this was the best team game the U-19 side has had to date. The Crows are back in action this Saturday when they travel to Langley.

to the final with a 4-0 win over Pen Hi, with Majoor scoring two goals. Chloe Grayson didn’t have to make a save in earning the shutout. In the bronze medal game, the Mt.

Favoured Sun Devils and Lions await minor football playoffs With minor football’s junior bantam playoffs beckoning, two Central Okanagan teams have to be considered the favourites. The West Kelowna Sun Devils and Kelowna Lions both have a firstround bye this weekend after finishing the regular season in a tie for first with 9-1 records. The Sun Devils only loss was by default, while the Lions’ lone defeat came against the Sun Devils, 28-8 in late Sep-

tember. Both teams have reserved berths in the semifinals the weekend of Nov. 10. The Sun Devils locked up top spot on Sunday with their ninth straight win, 49-0 over the Kamloops Broncos. On offense, the Sun Devils again mounted a balanced attack with six different players scoring points on Sunday. Nate Humes had two majors on catches of 25 and 32 yards, Nick Kopp had two

touchdowns on runs of 40 and 50 yards, Chris Smith added a 40-yard touchdown reception and six points on converts, while Ty Truong scored on an 88-yard run, Mitch Kopp (the team’s youngest player) scored on a seven-yard run and Jesse Sligtr hauled in a five-yard convert pass. Salem Clark and Nate Humes each threw a pair of touchdown passes. Special teams has begun to get special for the Sun Devils as they head into the playoffs with two

punt returns and two kickoff return touchdowns’s in the last three weeks, shared by Chris Smith and Ty Truong. “We are pleased with our progress to date and are healthy and improving every week heading into the playoffs,” said Sun Devils coach Chris Smith. “This is exciting time for football in West Kelowna.” Meanwhile, the Lions wrapped up their regular season Sunday with a 48-0 blitzing of Salmon

Arm. Blaise Beauchemin led the way today with his best game of the year, rushing for two touchdowns and throwing for one more. Chancellor Bevanda was the leading rusher in the game carrying the ball six times for 83 yards and a touchdown. Other scorers were Taylor Knoll, Brady McMechan and Tyrone Japson with one touchdown each. “The defensive effort was outstanding, pro-

ducing a lot of three-andouts, which gave our offense to put some major drives together in the game,” said Lions coach Arden Knoll. “While there were some great individual performances it could not have been accomplished without the total team effort starting with the offensive and defensive lines.” This Sunday, the Kelowna Dragons will host Salmon Arm in one of two junior bantam semifinals.

Kick off at CNC is 1 p.m.

PEEWEE PLAYOFFS

The SIFC peewee division playoffs open this weekend with two games. At 11 a.m. Sunday at CNC, West Kelowna will take on Salmon Arm.

In the second half the teams traded touchdowns for a final score of 31-14. Offensively the Lions rushed for more than 240 yards, with Nate Beauchemin scoring all four Lions majors. In addition, the Lions were 6 for 11 on pass attempts gaining 130 yards in the air. Wilson Holland was the leading receiver with almost 60 of those yards.

success stopping the run in the second half. Defensively the Lions also had a good day, led by interior linemen Cory Couch and Leon Johns who shut down the middle keeping the Salmon Arm attack in check.

BUSINESS

The value of professional designation to consumers W hen thinking about whether or not to go for a professional designation, there are three areas that a person should consider—benefits to yourself, benefits to the profession and benefits to the public. The benefits to yourself are pretty obvious. Once you pay the incredible sum of money for the many years of education and self discipline that it takes to achieve a designation, not only do you have the privil-

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka ege of putting letters after your name, you also have a great sense of accomplishment. In most cases, there is also the ability to make an incredible income, be the master of your own destiny and make a difference

in the world. Your job is no longer ‘just a job,’ but a career, a way of life and can be extremely satisfying. Most professional organizations teach ethics and by the time you are at the end of your studies, you have picked up a great code of ethics and practice it in both your professional and personal lives. Those benefits carry over into the benefits to the profession, as you will belong to an elite group of people who are like minded and are committed to

upholding the ethics, integrity and dignity of the chosen profession. Included in the bylaws and code of ethics might be items such as a commitment to life-long learning, performing the work of your chosen profession with due diligence and care and treating your clients, other members and your employees fairly. And you need to be mindful that you do not become involved in anything that might discredit your profession.

What a terrible waste that would be after spending all that time and money to achieve your designation, that you become involved in something illegal and lose it all. Your profession might also require periodic reviews of your work. In exchange, your professional organization will continually strive to advertise and educate the public about the profession and the professionalism of the organization. As for the benefits to the public, they mainly

concern the issue of trust. The public can trust that since you have the designation, you are probably a person who is highly educated, self-disciplined and are committed to upholding professional standards on a daily basis. The public can understand that your position is not just a ‘job’ but a life long ‘career,’ and that you are interested in doing the best job for your client which is not always necessarily in-line with achieving your bottom line profit. They will know that you operate according to an established fee structure and should they wish to enquire about their bill, you would be able to provide the details. The public would know that in order to have received your designation the professional organization would have verified your education and determined that you have the required work experience. In order to continue to be a member in good standing, you would be required to continue to upgrade your skills as well as pay your professional dues and professional liability insurance. So by hiring someone with a professional designation, the public achieves piece of mind because they are confident that you can navigate your way around the maze of numbers and paperwork that is before you utilizing your professional skills to the fullest.

The public can also be assured that you would not be involved in anything illegal because that would jeopardize your designation and discredit the profession. Confidentiality and independence is also a huge issue in most professions. Doctors, lawyers, accountants and financial planners and other professionals need to follow specific rules regarding protecting the confidentiality of their clients. For example, in order to remain objective and practice professional objectivity, accountants need to remain independent of their clients’ affairs and cannot use anything they have learned about their clients for their own personal advantage. One of the biggest differences between a professional and a non-professional in action is the paperwork at the beginning of any engagement that outlines the terms and scope of the engagement so that the client knows exactly what they will be responsible for and what is the responsibility of the professional.

Shelter benefits from game changer Reaching out with information about a local woman who is making a huge difference in your community. Anne Spelliscy will be honoured at the B.C. Lions game this Saturday, Nov. 3, as a Scotiabank Game Changer, with a $1,000 donation to the Women’s Shelter in Kelowna. For four years, Spelliscy has worked diligently to collect basic necessities (including shampoo, tooth brushes, soap, lotion, etc.) through donations from local companies and friends and package them up for women and their children living in

shelters in Kelowna. Each year, Spelliscy coordinates 150 to 200 care packages for women and 50 to 75 for children, each worth about $65. Spelliscy has lived with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) for more than 23 years and is now a quadriplegic and unable to speak. But she has chosen to continue living, in order to watch her son grow up and help others in need. On Saturday, her husband and son will attend the Lions game to accept the cheque on her behalf.

OVER THE WALL… No one was injured after a car drove over a parkade wall at The Park Residences on Durnin Road in Kelowna last Friday morning. Const. Lise Marion said the driver wasn’t paying attention and missed the curve in the driveway. “It was driver error—just a bad way to start a Friday,” said Marion.

Operatic trio out to share their love of music

Wreck-It Ralph packs a punch

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There’s a business to the arts and anyone can sing. This is what one learns by talking with Philip Grant, the business doctoral student working on a dissertation in branding flash mobs when he’s not performing as an opera singer with Romanza. The trio of tenors that make up Romanza were among the founders of the Canadian Tenors before splitting off to create the new, fun-loving group and dabble in some of the more interesting life paths one can find. And now they’re back in the Okanagan to sell audiences on the arts, the beauty of the voice, opera and having fun in the holiday season. “You know, only three per cent of Canadians listen to opera,” said Grant. “So when I learned that, we decided to open it up and mix in some other kinds of music.” Romanza performances are specifically designed to attract, entice and surprise new audiences to help support artistic endeavours of all types, even the ones that might initially seem intimidating. There’s always a surprise, as there will be when they return to the area for their holiday celebration this month. And there’s always an interesting mix of opera and classical music, more contemporary tunes, part crooner, part Pavarotti, all the romantic experience of listening to three wonderful voices work as one. “We think that there’s sort of this declining ap-

Arts and culture is important. So we ask people to take somebody whose never been. It’s really the best way to get people interested. You give them an experience they will enjoy and if they like the experience, they will return to it,” he said. There are many things people don’t know about opera, not the least of which is that anyone can do it. Opera and, really, singing in general is all about training the muscles everyone is given. “Some people just pick up a hockey stick and they can put the puck in the top corner,” said Grant. “This takes many years of prac-

Few, if any, opera singers start out wanting to be opera singers, accord-

ing to Grant. Like a runner who starts with a five kilometre jaunt then progresses to a marathon, it’s something that grows out of a desire to go that one step further. This is where Grant, Ken Lavigne and Paul Ouellette started. If the basement of the singing ladder is the high school choir, all three were perched on that first rung in adolescence, enjoying the experience that makes all of us belt out a line or two from the radio at some point. Ouellette then went on to earn a business degree before he made it back to music to study opera and Grant started in marketing before switch-

With traditional carols— such as Ave Maria, Panis Angelicus and O Holy Night—mixed with Feliz Navidad and 12 Days of a Romanza Christmas, it’s sure to be the kind of concert they love to deliver in the Okanagan on Nov. 24 in the Mary Irwin Theatre.

Q Music Programme

KSS opening doors for music students BY KOLBY ZINGER-HARRIS The halls of Kelowna Secondary are alive with the sound of music. Whether students are reliving Aretha Franklin classics in the R&B band, bringing Dizzie Gillespie to life in a jazz big band, or taking audiences back to classical times in the Night Owl Orchestra, the KSS music programme is buzzing with Canada’s up and coming virtuosos. Music teachers Sheila French and Neil Wong are excited about the year to come and to continue opening doors for the young and enthusiastic musicians of KSS. Sheila French, now in her seventh year of teaching music at KSS, says “The students make KSS great!” She and Neil Wong are both sources of musical inspiration and knowledge for students enrolled in any

variety of genres ranging from chamber choir to con-

cert band to improvisational jazz combo. “Having a wide range of programming keeps us musically alive and learning,” says French. “It exposes us to music outside our comfort zone which also keeps us learning and keeps our minds, hearts, and ears open to new ideas and styles.” For his part, Neil Wong is clear about what makes KSS music great. The band teacher in his sixth year at KSS states, “KSS Music is great for its quality, but also for its diversity and sheer number of students in the program.” “Music isn’t just one shade of grey. It is a whole palette of colours and my job is to expose the students to as many colours as possible.” KSS students agree that under the strong leadership of these two veteran teachers, there is so much to love

about being in a KSS band. One of such things would be the many trips and performances students have the chance to take part in. Encore is the annual concert KSS puts on for residents in the Kelowna Community Theatre. It is a fun night full of music and a great chance for all members of the community to see youth engaged in the arts. “The public needs to hear this talent!” exclaims Ms. French, always enthusiastic about showcasing Kelowna Secondary’s work with the community. Look forward to Encore this February. No matter what your musical interests, there is a place for any student at the KSS music programme. Without a doubt, it is a fantastic place of learning, musical growth, and unforgettable opportunity. So keep an ear open

Filmmaking mentor at KSS BY MARY BUNKA Upon entering Mr. Derksen’s video production room, one is confronted immediately with an array of student projects of every shape, size, and dimension. So many National Geographicesque photos line the walls that the eye isn’t sure where to rest. It’s a welcoming room, and one can see how it could easily become a second home for the video production class, full to capacity with 29 students from grades eleven and twelve. The program is in its fifth year at KSS, but this is the first year it has been taught by Mr. Jon Derksen. Students complete a variety of projects and focus on everything from pre-production to post-production to the response the audience may have to their films. The focus of the class is to let students know how to tell a story well while getting a feel for what is cutting edge and up to industry standards. “I want them to have a basic understanding of what excellence in the video industry is about,” he says.

KSS is incredibly lucky to have Mr. Derksen, who has several lifetimes of experience in the ﬁlm and photojournalism industries. Derksen’s photojour-

it was “a great example of someone passing their experience to a younger person.” This seems to be what Derksen aims for in his classes, working not only to teach, but

however, it was time for Derksen to return to Canada. He founded Central Okanagan Academy, an independent school that he was the principal of for a time. After this, he was contacted by National Geographic to assist in a documentary about the world’s most dangerous road, located in Bolivia. He scouted locations, assisted in research, and even wrote parts of the script. Now he brings his incredible experience and his amazing persona (students love him) to Kelowna Secondary. It is clear that KSS’ video production program can only move forward from here. Plans for the course include getting into “the live shoot situation” and entering international video competitions. “It has to beneﬁt or inform the public about a cause,” Derksen asserts. Mr. Derksen brings with him a creative mind and a winning attitude as well as the ability not only to teach, but to mentor. There’s no doubt about it: The KSS video production program will go on to accomplish great things.

Guests will have the opportunity to mingle with directors, artists, local businesses and the past winners of the awards, while tasting local wines paired with delicious delicacies and listen to local artists perform. The Okanagan Arts Awards are an integral part of the arts community in the Thompson-Okanagan and is becoming a province-wide event. The Thompson-Okanagan region has some of the most talented individuals that deserve recognition for their continued contributions to the Arts, say organizers. The public is encouraged to come out and support the arts at boththe launch party and the awards ceremony nect spring. OkanaganArtsAwards serve to underline the importance of the arts in the communities of the region, and to recognize in-

dividuals and groups for their significant contributions and for their exceptional support of arts and culture. The Arts Council of the Central Okanagan is a non-profit organization that is the underlying support for anything and everything that is art. Art is culture, entertainment, recreation, lifestyle and worldview, say organizers. And, they stress, the arts include all. “The Arts Coun-

cil of the Central Okanagan supports strengthens and promotes all art disciplines and traditions,” said the council in a news release this week. “The Arts Council of the Central Okanagan acts as an advocate for you.” For more information go to ww.artsco.ca.

Red Dot Players looking for a few good women Okanagan College’s Red Dot Players theatre club is searching for 15 actors to take on roles in the all-female cast of Michel Tremblay’s groundbreaking play Les Belles-Soeurs. Drop-in auditions are taking place at the Kelowna campus in the main lecture theatre (S104) Wednesday, Nov. 7, Thursday, Nov. 8, and Saturday, Nov. 10, for characters ranging in age from 17 to 93. Les Belles-Soeurs is the Quebecois playwright’s first professionally produced work, and was a considered to be cutting edge in its day for daring to portray working class women in realistic settings. English professor and department chair Jeremy Beaulne, who launched the Red Dot Players as a way to bring college employees, students and others with a theatrical bent together, described the play as a classic Quebecois tragicomedy, set in Montreal in 1965. Auditioning actors will be asked to read monologues from the play. No acting experience is required. The auditions will take place in room S104 in the Student Services Building at the following times: Nov. 7, 6 to 8 p.m.; Nov. 8, 1 to 3 p.m.; and Nov. 10, 2 to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.kalamalkapress. com/rdp or e-mail JBeaulne@okanagan.bc.ca.

Cookbook highlights valley foods

xciting news. My cookbook will be delivered this week from the printer. For the past five months, I have been roaring around the valley interviewing, photograph ing and visiting the incred ible people in our food and wine community. In their honour, this cookbook is called The Butcher, The Baker, The Wine & Cheese Maker—An Okanagan Cookbook. More than a cookbook, it is a celebration of the Okanagan Valley’s best chefs, farmers, artisans and winemakers. As the cover shows, the book not only contains wonderful recipes but stories about the talen ted people behind the menus, their passions and how their relationships have created a unique Okanagan cuisine. I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce these talented, passionate people to you and have the chance to tell you their stories. A farmer’s daughter myself, I am particularly happy to see the renaissance of ideals that has been occurring in our community. The farmers are the most vital link in the food chain and the community is learning that buying direct from them supports

FOOD & WINE TRAILS

Jennifer Schell the community as well as their own good health. With more than120 contributors, including a combination of our celebrated chefs recipes and those from the farm, this book will introduce the reader to the people and traditions of the Okanagan Valley that is quickly establishing itself as a culinary destination. The book is available on my website www.anokanagancook.com or email anokanagancookbook@shaw.ca. I will also be attending many events over the next two months starting with the Fabulous Finds show at Summerhill Winery. As a fan of this amazing craft show, I am excited to participate this year. There will be various people from the book who will be stopping in and offering samples of their delicious wares and signing the book. The event takes place Friday (Nov. 1) from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday (Nov. 2) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Next week I look for-

ward to presenting the finished cookbook to the Okanagan Chefs Association. The association hasbeen extremely supportive during the creation of this cookbook, sharing its time and many of its chefs’ recipes. A portion of the proceeds from sales of the book will be donated to the newly created FarmGate Foundation. These funds will be the seed money to launch this latest initiative in cooperation with the Okanagan Chefs Association. The FarmGate Foundation is focused on feed-

ing our future with community gardens, an initiative for growing food for donation to needy organizations, educational opportunities, cooking demonstrations and building the relationships of the farmers, the community and the land.

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen very confusing but all (or almost all) is revealed in due course, and most of the storylines are well detailed and explained. There is quite a cast in Cloud Atlas. Tom Hanks, plays a number of characters, as does Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, Hugh Grant, Hugo Wearing (of Matrix fame), Ben Whishaw, Jim Broadbent (one of Britain’s most versatile character actors), and all show us the recurring theme that we eternally cross and re-cross our tracks like figure skaters, and from moon to tomb, our lives are not our own. Heady stuff, thought provoking and not easily forgotten.

There were a few light moments with some funny lines and real laughs, such as the one said by the administrator at the home for the mentally ill: “You won’t believe what people will pay to lock up their parents.” Well, I thought it was funny. Haven’t we all wanted to do that at one time? If you’ve ever experienced déjà vu, felt an emotion (good or bad) towards someone you just met, asked yourself: “Is this all there is?” or read Eckhart Tolle, then go see Cloud Atlas. Sure, it’s long and sometimes confusing, but it’s worth the time and for a day or two, we might be nicer to each other. Some of you are nice all the time, and that’s wonderful, but for the rest of us, a couple of days is pretty much all we can handle).

n odd name for a film—Cloud Atlas—as it actually refers to a sextet composed by the character Robert Frobisher and interpreted no less than six ways throughout the movie. In this almost threehour movie, adapted from David Mitchell’s novel written in 2004—which at the time was deemed to be unfilmable—we are shown that the end of life is just a doorway to another life and in each life and beyond, we are all eternally connected in the past, present and future. Brought to the screen by Tom Tykiver and the Wackowskies, this show also reveals (and this is a tad scary) that each crime and kindness births our own future. I for one, will begin immediately to be a kinder, gentler. For the first half hour, the audience hasn’t a clue what’s going on or who the characters are. It’s

▼ MAYOR’S YOUTH FORUM

Young people given a voice to address civic issues Wade Paterson

‘‘

STAFF REPORTER

Baby Boomers speak a different language than Generation Z. That gap in communication was one of the main issues brought forward at the second annual Mayor’s Youth Forum, held Tuesday morning at Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary School. Representatives from both demographics— and the generations between—sat together to discuss issues affecting young people. The purpose of the event was to give young people from local schools an opportunity to express their concerns to elected officials from West Kelowna, Peachland and the Westbank First Nation, along with social workers, teachers and others who work with youth throughout the community. “I think that students were comfortable in voicing their opinions on a wide variety of issues,” said Irene Maier, department head of student leadership at Mount Boucherie. “I think the adults in the room were open to receiving the input that they were getting.” A concern repeated throughout the session was that the medium used to get information to young people currently isn’t working.

I THINK THAT STUDENTS WERE COMFORTABLE IN VOICING THEIR OPINIONS ON A WIDE VARIETY OF ISSUES. Irene Maier, Mt. Boucherie Secondary

WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

EVIE MANSELL explains ways to better recognize young people’s achievements at the second annual Mayor’sYouth Forum held on Tuesday. At last year’s forum, students complained about a lack of recreational opportunities available for teenagers. They acknowledged the district’s book of recreational programs, but noted the formerly labelled “leisure guide” sounded like an activity book for their grandparents. With that in mind, recreation staff at the Dis-

trict of West Kelowna renamed the booklet: West Kelowna Recreation Guide. They also added more youth-friendly programs and lowered the minimum age on a number of classes to 14-yearsold. Despite this, attendance didn’t seem to rise significantly. This year, several students suggested perhaps the problem is the way the

programs are advertised and said they would be more inclined to participate in an activity if they read about it online. They also suggested utilizing intermediary student leadership groups to inform them about events instead of posting notices on the district’s website or Facebook page. “Some of them said if it comes from the District of West Kelowna, it’s too

bureaucratic,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. “I think we have to sit down with them and design some ways where we can get the information out.” The West Kelowna mayor said it’s a good idea for the district to continually tune into the concerns of the younger demographic. “It’s important that we hear from young people,

what their issues are. The themes are recurring, but I think we made some progress on it. “I know staff were taking copious notes and we’re going to receive some proposals to address some of the issues raised.” Evie Mansell was one of the students who took part in Tuesday’s forum. She was encouraged by the quality of examples brought forward by the

students. “There were lots of good discussions; a lot of the young people in our groups had good ideas,” said Mansell. According to Maier, young people are beginning to realize the influence they can have on local decision-makers. Two years ago, a group of students from Mount Boucherie spoke to council members about the need for a school liaison officer in West Kelowna. Their voices were heard and this year Const. Sherri Lund is roaming the halls of local schools full-time. “When they saw action as a result of their voice, it made a huge impact on them,” said Maier. “Whenever they see (Const.) Lund in the school, they say, ‘We did that,’ and they feel really good about that.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Vineyard Drive traffic calming work will mean delays Motorists should expect minor delays on Vineyard Drive in West Kelowna for the next few weeks as construction begins on traffic calming measures. As weather permits this fall, crews will construct six curb extensions on a 380-metre section of the street between Ridge Boulevard and Merlot

Court. The six curb extensions will cost $38,000 to install. Funding for the traffic calming measures was provided through contributions from the developer of the Vineyard Estates neighbourhood, Victor Projects. The District of West Kelowna will follow-up with additional works, in-

cluding sign installation this fall and line painting in the spring, which will cost $12,000. The municipality will study the effects of the curb extensions on traffic speeds and volumes in the area before deciding on further measures. A traffic study suggested four more curb extensions, rumble strips

and median islands could be constructed as part of future phases, if necessary. The neighbourhood approached the municipality about the possibility of installing calming measures because of increased traffic volumes, speeding and non-residential vehicles traveling on Vineyard Drive. The district constructed similar

C Litigation lending cost win bad for insurance companies h A I ▼ NEW BRUNSWICK RULING

n Oct. 18, 2012, judgment from the highest court in New Brunswick is paving the way for a change in the law in other jurisdictions, including British Columbia. A 17-year-old motorcyclist, a Mr. LeBlanc, was seriously injured in a crash when an oncoming van forced him off the road. The defending insurance company denied liability, blaming LeBlanc

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott for being the author of his own misfortune. LeBlanc hired a lawyer. His lawyer required him to come up with the money to pay for disbursements, the dollars

that would be spent taking the case to trial. Those disbursements ended up costing over $26,000. There was a standard contingency fee arrangement, with the lawyer’s fees to be paid as a percentage of the compensation LeBlanc ended up with, if any. I say “if any” because no compensation would be payable if LeBlanc was found to be at fault. The lawyer was willing to risk his fees on the

outcome of the case, but was not prepared to risk putting his own money out to pay for the disbursements. In the words of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal: “Only a foolhardy lawyer would have agreed to undertake that risk.” LeBlanc was forced to find financing. He went to two banks, asking for a line of credit. Both banks refused him credit. No surprise

there—why would a bank give a line of credit to a 17-year-old, disabled from working, on the basis of an uncertain legal claim? There was one company willing to lend money to LeBlanc—Seahold Investments. Seahold Investments is what I refer to as a litigation lender. They take the risk of lending money to fund litigation. They are paid handsomely for taking that

risk. The interest rate referred to by the New Brunswick Court of Appeal was 2.4 per cent per month, compounded monthly. By my calculation, the equivalent annual rate is almost 33 per cent. I expect there were set-up charges on top of that interest rate as well. The interest expense LeBlanc ended up incurring to finance the disbursements was over $14,000, approximately 54 per cent of the cost of the disbursements themselves. LeBlanc was successful in his case. He was completely exonerated of fault, and able to move forward to pursue fair compensation for his injuries and other losses. He was awarded costs against the defending insurance company. The issue that the New Brunswick Court of Appeal faced was whether or not LeBlanc could recover reimbursement of the more than $14,000 of the interest as part of those borrowing costs. The Court of Appeal considered whether or not the high interest loans were necessary, and found the following: “Without financial assistance from a third party, Mr. LeBlanc would not have been able to enforce his rights in the courts. The loans granted by Seahold Investments were therefore essential to al-

low Mr. LeBlanc access to justice…” Addressing the necessity square on, the ruling stated: “The loans taken out by Mr. LeBlanc were necessary to prevent a most unjust outcome for his legal dispute with the respondents: the settlement of his claim for a pittance or perhaps even its abandonment.” As you might have already anticipated, the defending insurance company was ordered to pay the interest. The law in British Columbia, at present, does not allow for recovery of the cost of disbursement financing as costs. That issue, though, is poised to go before the British Columbia Court of Appeal for consideration. While the decision of another provincial court of appeal is not binding on our courts, I am hopeful that it has influence and that the law in this province will change. I will certainly let you know the outcome of the issue as soon as it is determined.

Chocolate treats are hazardous for our pets I

n our hurried world today, sometimes we overlook the fact that our pets rely on us for survival. We all know how diligent we have to be with our children’s safety, so my years in parenthood kept reiterating to me how much young children and pets are alike. They are curious, playful and gluttonous beings. While people are becoming more and more aware of safety regulation for Halloween traditions, another aspect of the holiday to keep in mind is the potential hazards for pets. Chocolate is probably the most popular treat given on Halloween. Pets, dogs in particular, also share the “sweet tooth” that most people have. However, chocolate side effects in pets go beyond weight gain that most people are concerned about. For pets, eating chocolate can be toxic, even life threatening. Chocolate is made from cacao beans, which contain a toxic substance called Theobromine. Cacao beans also contain caffeine but in much smaller amounts than Theobromine. Both Theobromine and caffeine are members of a drug class called Methylxanines. The reason why Theobromine is toxic for dogs is because they process it much more slowly than humans. At 17 hours after the chocolate ingestion, half of the Theobromine is still in the dog’s system.

FURRY FRIENDS

Dr. Moshe Oz And while Theobromine is also toxic to cats, they are less likely to ingest chocolate than dogs. Theobromine and caffeine can adversely affect the nervous system, and the heart. They can also lead to increase of the blood pressure. The early signs of chocolate intoxication are nausea (manifested by drooling and smacking the lips) vomiting, and excessive urination. Truly toxic amounts can induce hyperactivity, rapid heart rate, tremors, seizures and eventually respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is to your pet. Other candies and sweet foods, especially those containing poisonous xylitol, can also be poisonous to pets. Large ingestion of sugary, high-fat candy and sweets can lead to pancreatitis in pets. Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, it is potentially fatal and very painful. Pet owners should be aware that clinical signs of pancreatitis may not present for several days after ingestion. The most common signs for pancreatitis include a decreased appetite, vomiting, diar-

rhea, lethargy and abdominal pain Today, with the increase of awareness for health treats, many people offer raisins to “trick or treaters.” But don’t share the raisins with the family pet, as raisins (and grapes) are toxic to pets. Dogs can experience kidney failure after ingesting very small amounts of raisins as well as grapes and currants. For this reason, any ingestion should be treated as a potential poisoning. Signs of raisin or grape poisoning include vomiting, nausea, decreased appetite, lethargy, abdominal pain, excessive or decreased thirst and urination, bad breath, and rapid onset kidney failure. When pets get into the candy they collected from trick-or-treating, they can also eat the wrappers too. Ingestion of foil and cellophane wrappers can sometimes cause a lifethreatening bowel obstruction. Another potential hazard is fluffy parts of costumes that pets may mistaken for toys and chew on. Keep all of these in a non approachable place for your pet. And make sure your pet has no access getting near a lit candle. This can cause a catastrophe that you don’t even want to think about.

IH flu vaccine clinics carry on

In light of the recent temporary suspension of Novartis vaccine products (Agriflu and Fluad), Interior Health says its public flu clinics will continue as scheduled using the primary vaccine product Vaxigrip. Novartis products tcomprise less than 10 per cent of the Interior Health vaccine supply. Interior Health has been using another vaccine product for the majority of this year’s influenza vaccination campaign which is not affected by the suspension. This product will also continue to be available through community vaccine providers such as rdoctors and pharmacists. On Oct. 26, Health

Canada issued a voluntary suspension of the use of Novartis influenza vaccines due to the presence

of small particles found in the vaccines in Europe, so use of the product has been suspended.

▼ REGIONAL DISTRICT

Taps turned on in Upper Fintry The glass is half full— of water—for residents of Upper Fintry, Shalal Road and Valley of the Sun subdivisions. Dignitaries were on hand Tuesday to celebrate the completion of the newest Regional District of the Central Okanagan water system. Since construction of the water mains was completed in the spring, more than 50 properties have been connected, with another dozen in various stages of the connection process. The subdivisions located off Westside Road were previously without access to a community water supply and sufficient water pressure for full protection against fire. “Thanks to this project more Westside residents now have access to safe, reliable drinking water,” said Dan Albas, MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla. The regional district received over $800,000 in funding to help offset the cost of building the new water system, including $407,500 from the federal Gas Tax Fund and $400,000 from the provincial government’s Towns for Tomorrow program. Property owners within the water service area contributed or financed $17,230 each. In addition to new water mains, a new well and pump station was built to support the system in the lower Fintry Delta area. Various control buildings and two reservoirs, with a total storage capacity of 1,746 cubic metres of water, were also constructed. “This new $6 million water system, the sixth operated and maintained by the regional district, saw the installation of about 12 kilometres of water mains providing both treated water and fire flows to more

A professional truck driver and oil ďŹ eld worker, he also ran a custom motorcycle shop for many years. Motorcycles and old cars were his true passion, and he could often be seen riding his beloved Harley everywhere, or simply spending hours restoring, polishing, tweaking, or just plain talking about them. He loved everything about them, including the history, sights, and sounds that made them tick. He was a fun loving, caring man who brought joy to so many lives and so much laughter in many hearts. His friends and family take forward a lot of happy memories and our lives are richer for having known him.

He will always be missed, but never forgotten by those whose lives he has touched.

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.
