▼ HYATT MURDER TRIAL

Accused teenager testifies she is innocent The West Kelowna teen accused of fatally stabbing her friend at a 2010 house party claimed innocence this week, but not without offering up another suspect in the process. “You did not stab Ashlee Hyatt to defend yourself?” Crown Counsel Murray Kaay asked the18-year-old, whose name is protected under a youth publication ban. “No, I did not,” she said. “You did not even accidentally stab Ashlee Hyatt?” “No, I did not,” she said.

Taking a departure from party-goer testimony that preceded hers in the previous weeks of trial, the accused told the jury she didn’t face Hyatt, 16, alone in a fatal scuffle, on June 2, 2010. Instead, she, the host of the party, and Hyatt got into a “ball” of hair pulling, scratching and punching all at once, and the one holding the knife when Hyatt went down with a five-centimetre-deep cut to her neck, was most likely the host, she said. According to her recollection of the night, their fatal fight started with a three-way argu-

ment in the middle of a Peachland street. Hyatt had told the accused to leave the party after she allegedly kissed someone who wasn’t her boyfriend, but the accused wanted to stay and talk it out. In particular, she wanted the boyfriend to know that she had actually thwarted the advances of another boy, but Hyatt and the party host were having none of it and had placed themselves between the couple. “I shoved (them) away from me with my forearm,” she said, noting later that she was “annoyed” or “irritated” by the fact

nobody was listening to her. She used those words a number of times to explain her emotional state that night, denying suggestions she was angry, or upset that her friends had seemingly turned on her. The girls shoved the accused back, then the fighting began. “Ashlee punched me, then I punched her, and it turned into a big ball of punching and scratching.” The melee went on for two to three minutes, and got “really rough,” she said. “I looked over and I saw (Hyatt) lying on the ground.” She said that she didn’t

know why Hyatt was down, but when she continued fighting with the party host she seemingly got a hint. “The first time I saw the knife, Ashlee was down…me and (the host) were separated for a half second, and she had a knife in her hand,” she said. “She wasn’t trying to stab me. She was just holding it and flailing around.” Eventually the accused said she got the upper hand, so she grabbed the knife that she claimed to never have seen beSee Teenager A6

Newly-diagnosed cancer patients in the Southern Interior are being asked to help researchers in their fight against the disease by joining what the head of the project here calls a “biobank.” Dr. Janine Davies, a medical oncologist with the B.C. Cancer Agency in Kelowna and the principle investigator with PREDICT (Personal Response Determinants In Cancer Therapy), told the B.C. Cancer Foundation’s annual Discovery Lunch Wednesday that by taking donated blood samples from patients, researchers could discover why some cancers affect people differently. “PREDICT will help make patients part of the solution to the cancer problem by enabling our research to focus on the important questions,” said Davies. “It will create a resource of patient information, blood samples, and eventually tumour samples, that can be used by researchers worldwide. “These samples will help us to shape future treatment decisions, improving outcomes for patients down the road.“ This follows the model of a similar pilot project that started in Victoria in 2006.

▼ KGH FOUNDATION

Fundraising campaign surpasses $6 million goal Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The Kelowna General Hospital Foundation said 2 1/2 years ago that it wanted to raise $6 million to help equip KGH’s new Centennial Building, construction of which had just started. On Tuesday, six months after the building opened, the foundation announced it has not only reached its goal, but surpassed it by 25 per cent. And the money raised has already been used to buy state-of-the-art equipment for several departments. “This campaign was the most ambitious goal we have ever undertaken during a time of an unprecedented level of development to health care in Kelowna,” said foundation chairwoman Karen Borring-Olsen.

“To overachieve the goal (and raise $7.5 million) is a testimonial to the extraordinary support and commitment of our donors, volunteers and staff. “It speaks to our community’s belief in our work and to our impact.” The fundraising campaign, dubbed Take Care, Take Part, not only raised millions for new equipment in areas like emergency and optholmology, the extra money raised also helped pay for a third trauma room in the new, larger emergency department, said Doug Rankmore, CEO of the foundation. Rankmore said he was not surprised the campaign exceeded its goal by 25 per cent, calling Kelowna a very generous community that supports its hospital. The success of the

campaign was also lauded by Interior Health CEO Dr. Rob Halpenny, who called the support of groups like the foundation “integral” to providing the best in health care here with the most up-todate equipment. “Without our auxiliaries, volunteers and foundations, our system would struggle,” said Halpenny. “They are integral to the daily operation and future planning.” Rankmore said when the new six-storey Centennial Building at KGH was being planned, the foundation members sat down with IHA officials to discuss what additional equipment would be needed and a plan was drawn up for the fundraising campaign. To mark the completion and success of Take Care, Take Part, the foundation unveiled a glass

Referendum on future of Okanagan East local government finds cabinet supporter Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Residents of Joe Rich, Ellison and June Springs may soon be able to vote on who their local government is. Patty Hanson, Central Okanagan East electoral area director, announced Tuesday that Minister of Community, Sports and Cultural Development Bill Bennett has responded positively to her request to begin a referendum process for her constituents. The referendum would ultimately give residents of the east electoral area four options: Stay with the Regional District of the Central Okanagan, join the City of Kelowna, join the District of Lake Country or incorporate into a new municipality. “Minister Bill Bennett sent a

letter in October assigning us a staff person in the Local Government Structure Unit and outlining what our next steps should be,” said Hanson. “The referendum committee is very excited to be able to move forward in the process.” According to the ministry’s website, incorporating is a 14step process. Before a referendum takes place a study will be conducted outlining options for the region’s residents. Hanson said she is frustrated with the regional district governance and feels her residents’ voices aren’t being heard. She used the South Slopes OCP public hearing as an example, where the majority of those in attendance did not support the community plan, yet the board still approved it.

STAFF REPORTER

Learn about plans for the re-introduction of sockeye salmon into Okanagan Lake at the annual general meeting of the Friends of Mission Creek tonight, 7 p.m., at the EECO in Mission Creek Regional Park. Guest speakers will be Richard Bussanich and Amanda Stevens, fisheries biologists with the Okanagan Nation Allliance, which is spearheading efforts to return the iconic salmon to the Okanagan basin.

Construction of permanent flood control dams in the Okanagan limited continued migration of salmon from the ocean up the Columbia River system and into the valley in the early 1900s. However, restoration efforts in recent years have brought them back into the southern part of the valley, and the intention is to return them to Okanagan Lake ultimately, they say. It’s a 1,200 km journey from the Pacific Ocean to their spawning grounds in the Okanagan Valley, and this run of sal-

A soccer coach from Lang-

His wife kicked in that the teenager was the one who would arrive smiling, happy and give hugs to all the girls. “She played hard, like the rest of the girls, but when the game was done, it was done,” she said.

she was upset,” she said. An adult eventually got to the scene, and separated the girls and the accused got some perspective on what was happening around her. Defence lawyer Ingrid Friesen asked what she thought had happened to Hyatt at this point. “I didn’t know what happened to her, I just knew she was hurt and there were people around her,” she said, noting that she thought she may have been punched. “I remember (another girl) yelling; get the f--out of here if you want to live.’” Boots, purses, clothes had been placed on the street earlier when the party was broken up, and the accused testified she took the girl’s advice, found her purse in the mix and ran away in her socked feet, leaving her boots behind. She then ran to a young man’s house, who Crown called upon for testimony earlier in the week. Dishevelled and crying, he let her into the

He’d employed her as a deck hand on his commercial fishing boat, and said she held her own.

house and they talked for an hour until her mother picked her up. He asked her repeatedly what happened, and although she told them there had been fighting, she failed to offer specific details. In particular, she didn’t mention what had happened to Hyatt. Under Kaay’s cross-examination, the accused was asked why she decided to be “vague” with her close friend and not mention Hyatt’s state, when she repeatedly told the jury that she just wanted to tell someone her side of the story all night. “I didn’t want to involve him more than I did,” she said. “I was confused and upset.” Kaay asked if the accused had her judgment impaired by the six to eight swigs of whiskey she’d admitted to having over the course of the night. “I was drunk, but I’ve been drunker,” she said, adding later that she’d done her fair share of drinking in the past. She also said that she never had her memory of events impaired by alcohol but she could not account for how Hyatt’s blood ended up on her pant leg and sweater that night. Most of that outfit went with her when she turned herself in to police that same night, but some pieces were left behind. Those she didn’t see until two weeks later, when she found them in the wheel well of her mother’s car. “We had kept them, waiting for police to ask, but they never did,” she said, adding her lawyer Donna Turko told them to bring them in, and from there police picked them up. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A newer entry-level condo apartment can now be had from $200,000, while a single-family starter home generally goes from the mid-to-high $300,000s. The climate has been relatively positive in Kelowna throughout 2012, but the market—like most across Canada—has been impacted by tighter CMHC mortgage regulations. As a result, the momentum has moderated in the final quarter in response to lower affordability. The overall mar-

Kelowna’s residential real estate market remained relatively stable in 2012, but the picture of the year ahead is a bit rosier. According the the Re/ Max housing market outlook for 2013, the market remains in buyer’s territory, but a slight uptick in sales and some positive economic growth in nearby areas put everything in better stead. “Absorption rates have improved and inventory levels continue to decline, down 3.7 per cent year-todate, following a two per cent contraction in 2011,” the report reads. “An even mix of firsttime and move-up buyers has been stimulating activity across all price points.” Sales of single-family homes proved steady, with the average price virtually on par with one year ago. The condominium market has shown signs of rebounding, with sales up 11 per cent from September 2011 to September

Samples from A1 , PREDICT will give newly-diagnosed cancer patients the opportunkity to voluntarily contribute blood samples and information to the biobank fin order to help researchyers answer what Davies ecalled critical questions dabout cancer to advance patient care. When the program started in Victoria, 90 per cent of new patients at the Vancouver Island Cancer Centre agreed to participate and Davies said the Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Centre For the Southern Interior in Kelowna wants to help build on that success with thousands of samples from patients here. Over the next few years, local cancer researchers hope to collect 5,000 samples to add to the 6,500 samples already collected on Vancouver Island. The samples will be kept in Victoria and Davies said strict protocols will be put in place for researchers to use them as they look at specific questions about the disease. She said in a year’s time, she hopes the biobank will include tumour samples as well. At the lunch on Wednesday, $60,000 was raised towards the cost of the project here, money that will be added to the $110,000 already raised. The total cost of the project is $365,000. Cancer patient Don Robertson, who shared his story of battling a very rare form of cancer over the last 18 years, urged his fellow patients to participate in PREDICT, announcing he had already signed up. “I am here today because someone donated to research that helped find the drug that is keeping me alive,” Robertsons aid. “I’m now closer than ever to my wife and I’m able to have more time with our two sons. “Everyone is so busy today that it is important to remember the impact just one person can make by participating in cancer research and help make a difference.” Davies said the kind of breakthroughs that could

Demise of zoo animal troubling

nother exotic creature has died at the Greater Vancouver Zoo in Alder-

grove. Jafari, a 12-year-old male giraffe, was found dead inside its barn on Nov. 3. It is the third giraffe to perish at the zoo, after Jafari’s mate Eleah, 23, and their male offspring, Amryn, 4, died last year. It’s not yet known what caused Jafari’s death, although initial necropsy results seem to

rule out low body fat and cold temperatures, as some initially thought. The investigation continues. In each instance of a giraffe’s demise, public reaction has included sadness, concern and in some cases, harsh criticism of the facility, which has had a disturbing string of deaths among its animal inhabitants over the past several years, including a hippo and four zebras. Negligence was not found to

have been a factor in the deaths of the creatures. However, the fact of the matter is that exotic creatures found only in climates and countries vastly different than what exists here, are being imprisoned for the entertainment and “education” of people. It is an archaic practice that must come to an end. Species such as elephants, giraffes and big jungle cats are intended to roam across vast ex-

panses of terrain. Education can no longer be used as an excuse to put them inside enclosures and cages, where they languish—and are ogled by people—until they die. Neither is it justification to say they were born in captivity. As long as zoos allow the animals to breed, the cycle will never end. The point is that wild animals don’t belong in zoos. Period. —Abbotsford News

Our inner thoughts being expressed by our computer voices

hat difference has technology and the advancement of the Internet been in the day-to-day existence of our lives? The answer to that question is being played out in an embarrassing context in the U.S. this week, where people sharing their private thoughts on email has shown a loss of anonymity. And the complication then becomes how legal authorities are supposed to deal with electronic communication. When is it investigating a crime and when is to stepping over the bounds of what is supposed to be private communication? Where former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover used wiretapping resourc-

es to gain inside information about people he didn’t like to hold against them, his own form of legal blackmail, today we all do the work for big brother by telling people what we think in the Twitter and Facebook universe without considering the consequences. The scandal south of the border involves the director of the CIA, David Petraeus. He was a highly decorated general in the U.S. Army, responsible for supposedly cleaning up the Iraq mess and stabilizing the war in Afghanistan. When he was not doing

that, we learned this week he used email. So Mr. Petraeus, after leaving the army to take over the CIA, found himself in an extra-marital affair with a Barry woman, Paula BroadGerding well, who was the co-author of an autobiographic book titled All Inn. The relationship went on for months until he apparently broke it off last summer. But then his paramour took issue apparently with the relationship between Petraeus and another woman, Jill Kelley, who works on a military base in Tampa, Fla., and is referred to

EDITOR’S NOTE

by some media reports as a military socialite. Broadwell appears to have felt threatened in some way by Kelley’s relationship with Petraeus, and began sending her emails telling her to back off. Kelley took her complaint about the emails to an FBI agent, and from there the whole situation unravelled into the mess that has played out like a TV soap opera, each day producing a new revelation. At the heart of it all is this idea in our collective heads that sending nasty emails, posting your thoughts on Facebook or being a twit on Twitter is like being anonymous—as compared, say, to making comments that are published in print—when it is any-

thing but. As we continue to embrace the virtues of the Internet in our society, our private thoughts are increasingly no longer private. Why? Because we can’t seem to help ourselves from dishing about ourselves or others. Where generations ago, people would talk privately about the issues or about other people over a coffee, over a beer in the pub or when gathering with friends, today those thoughts are being expressed freely on the World Wide Web under the notion of anonymity. No such thing. It’s about time we figured out that some private thoughts are best kept wher they belong—in our heads. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Thiel ignores practicality in fast food tax To the editor: In response to Dr. Markus Thiel’s column in the Oct. 26 edition of the Capital News (Time to Start Paying for Living an Unhealthy Lifestyle), Dr. Thiel believes that junk food and fast food restaurants should pay more tax. Who is going to judge which foods are “junk” and which restaurants are “fast food?” Dr. Thiel? The government? Who is going to review the thousands of food items sold in Canada and determine “in” or “out?” Who is going to visit every diner, restaurant, food truck, cafeteria and hot dog stand to determine which ones should

pay more tax and on which menu items? Who is going to enforce these rules? We currently have a hard time enforcing regulations at a handful of meat packing plants let alone at thousands of eateries. Has Dr. Thiel considered what this would cost? Likely 10 times more than the taxes he proposes to collect. We can’t agree on whether a new electric meter is safe with people not believing the scientists on either side. Can you imagine that same process applied to something as emotional as our food supply (not to mention our right to decide our own fate)?

How can the average consumer keep track when the so-called nutrition experts can’t agree? Then put millions of dollars of taxation at stake and watch the fun begin. Dr. Thiel states that “an annual gym membership is $540.” Is he suggesting that the government will buy everyone a gym membership? Disregarding the thousands of people who live nowhere near a gym, is he suggesting that if the government were to provide already-sedentary people with a free gym membership that they would suddenly “see the light” and whip themselves into shape? Currently, there are

thousands of people who could afford a gym membership but, for reasons other than cost, choose not to. Why should customers of fast food restaurants buy gym memberships for people who don’t want them and would likely never use them? What if I don’t use my free membership? Am I going to be punished in some other way? Dr. Thiel says “that still leaves $4,000 for each citizen to pursue health in ways that are not pharmaceutical or critical care.” Is everyone going to get a gym membership and $4,000? Or, is the government going to use that $4,000 in some new magic way to help us all

become healthy? Currently, $150 billion is spent in Canada every year on health care. Does Dr. Thiel really believe that giving the government another $150 million (only 0.1 per cent of the current total) will make a difference? Given the amount of waste in our health care system, more money won’t help. If throwing money at the problem was going to fix things, we would have straightened it out a long time ago. Governments have many important functions, but telling me what to eat is not one of them.

▼ U.S. ELECTION

U.S. voters didn’t get it right re-electing Obama To the editor: Re: The Capital News Our View editorial, Thursday, Nov. 8: U.S. Voters Got It Right Again. Interesting editorial not entirely accurate, in my view. You stated that “If the election of Barak Obama in 2008 was about hope and change, his re-election in 2012 was about politicians too busy running the country and not acting in their own political self interests.” You certainly did get it right about Obama running around, and not governing the country. Let’s analyze this: If Americans voted for ‘hope and change’ in 2008, they certainly got ‘change’—an attempt to socialize the U.S. (interesting how that is not working for Europe). As far as the ‘hope’ is concerned, his policies of suffocating regulations have certainly

killed incentives for small business to produce more jobs, the main theme of Governor Romney’s plan. Pres. Obama also campaigned that he would not raise taxes on the middle class, yet turned around and got Obamacare through Congress—a Congress which did not read the 2,500 pages of the Obamacare Bill prior to passing it. That Bill will tax the middle class even more. As for taxing the ‘rich,’ do you realize that the approximate revenue of that tax would be about enough to run the U.S. government for less than 10 days? I am offended that you would refer to any one group of voters as “angry white.” The pure and simple demographics of the United States has changed, as in Canada. You also referred to “the Latino vote giv-

ing Obama the mandate he needs to bring true immigration reform.” Let me remind you that Pres. George W. Bush tried and failed with a Democratic Congress to pass immigration reform. And Pres. Obama had two years of controlling both Houses of Congress. He made no attempt. And he did not allow the legitimate U.S. Border patrols to protect themselves. You referred to “blatant attempts by Republicans to suppress the minority vote.” Well, those “blatant attempts” were simply asking for proper photo I.D. to be able to vote. We all need proper I.D. to cross the border, or board an aircraft. I would think that voting is important enough to have to show proper I.D. Gerald A. Just, Kelowna

STYLE now WHAT’S IN YOUR CLOSET? By Taylor Bayne, contributor How often does one get to drink a couple of glasses of wine with great company in the comfort of one of your very good friends’ mom’s... closets? Well I was lucky enough to cross it off my bucket list just last weekend. So many laughs, countless good words, and numerous items of clothing being fashioned much like SJP in that episode of Sex and the City. All in all, it was such a great day spent with such a great lady.

bundle up

I’m positive there are many women who walk into their closets to find things from over 30 years ago. Trust me I know how it goes, “I’ll probably wear it again” or; “You never know what I might need this for” it gets better: “Maybe (insert daughter’s name) will want this.” Dear Mom, I don’t find your floor length floral dress with shoulder pads cute nor will I wear it on my first date. Love, your favourite daughter xoxo

OK, it’s not THAT bad, but I’m trying to paint a picture here. Keeping a closet up to date is simple and fun but can be expensive as well, but I do have a few tricks that may help. First, keep things that you’ve worn recently. If its season has just passed and you weren’t caught dead in your floor length floral dress, it is time to say adios! It is tough; I know... all the memories! Second, take a look at the quality. Is it pilling, faded or snagged? If so, it is a great indication that its lifecycle is complete. I’m saving you from odd looks from passers-by, so you’re welcome! Another thing that will help you make a little room in that closet is start by pairing things that you would possibly wear or already do wear, as outfits. The easiest way to do this is make a few assorted piles. My suggestion is to call them: Yes, No, and Maybe. If any of the maybes don’t coordinate, they’re outta here. I find the key to every season is taking your basics and pairing them with statement pieces that compliment your personal style. It could be pairing a flashy necklace with your little black dress or maybe throwing on some animal print loafers on with a pair of dark washed jeans that have molded to your womanly curves over the years. Owning your own style is important, so rock it! I took a plain white blouse from a couple of years ago and threw on a fur vest. It was as simple as that! Knowing where to find them and what to look for? That’s what I’m here for, duh! Kelowna really does have some amazing hidden treasures. Fresh downtown is known for its soft colours and easy basics. Blonde has few one of a kind items that will become your favourite in minutes and Delux brought a fresh new touch to our downtown shopping experience. These stores are only a few of my faça va de soi vourite around this lake side beauty we call Ke…and many more lowna. 1296 Ellis Street, Kelowna Happy organizing 250-860-3666 ladies!

Early greenhouse days could be stressful during the winter

o here we go again with winter following the first real snowfall in the Central Okanagan last weekend. I was beginning to

think summer was going to carry on forever but reality has prevailed. Gardeners should be thankful for the white stuff as it moistens the soil

after a parched summer and provides protection for plants when the cold weather arrives. The more snow we get in the hills the better, help-

ing to provide an abundant supply of water in the reservoirs next spring. When this sort of wintery weather arrives, I often think of the time when we had an acre of greenhouses to manage, demanding a regimen of sealing all the spots where the cold could get in or heat might escape. For one thin layer of glass did not provide much insulation. If the temperature dropped below -30 C with a wind chill factor, the old gas fired boilers had their work cut out for them. I remember one winter when I was 14 years of age, when I was called into action to help stem a disaster after the gas boilers were overwhelmed by the cold.

Meanwhile, my mom got on the phone and called as many people she could to help out with the installation of the poly inside the entire greenhouse range. In those days, all our greenhouses were glass with wooden sash bars, so we were able to staple the poly in place. I remember the panic involved but I also recall the feeling of thankfulness my parents had when so many people jumped in to help. Harry Nakayama was one of the first to arrive. He lived just across the street on Ethel Street with his wife and young family. He worked for my dad for a while before he

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett The greenhouses were full of poinsettias, azaleas, hydrangeas and tropical plants and losing them to the cold would result in a huge financial loss for my family. The boilers were going 24/7 and only able to keep temperatures slightly above freezing once the wind kicked up. So my dad rushed down to Kelowna Builders Supply and bought them out of all the three mil polyethylene (plastic)

went to the City of Kelowna. Bas Jennens was next to arrive and I believe his son Stu as well. I can’t remember everyone who was there but the feeling of community was awesome and the experience was one of the memories I will have forever. By the time we got the plastic installed the temperature in the greenhouses had risen by 10 degrees and all was well. That exercise taught us to be prepared, so in subsequent years each fall we would install a layer of poly around the inside of the greenhouses and tear it down in the spring. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 Saturdays from 8 to 10 a.m.

Backstories behind fabulous meals outlined by author in new book

Kristi Patton

CONTRIBUTOR

Tales from a wild boar farm in Enderby to a wine pairing from the Compost Queen at Tinhorn Creek Winery, The Butcher, the Baker, The Wine and Cheese Maker is truly an Okanagan cookbook. But, don’t expect to find yet another cookbook slapped full or anonymous recipes. The Butcher, The Baker, The Wine & Cheese Maker—an Okanagan Cookbook, authored by food and wine

columnist Jennifer Schell, is a love letter to her Okanagan farming roots and family. Inside you’ll find 200 pages with 53 recipes, but more importantly the story behind what goes into making each plate. “The farmers in the United States are actually being called star-mers. It is a renaissance that is happening and people are realizing that the farmers are actually pretty important because they are the ones growing our food and feeding us. They

work so hard and have such a passion it is so exciting to see them get the spotlight,” said Schell. “I am a food and wine writer and the editor of Food and Wine Trails magazine, so I travel up and down the valley and have had the opportunity to meet all these people. “Hearing their stories all the time and how important their relationships are with one another really inspired me to write this book.” Schell said she had always wanted to write

a cookbook, and took a page from New Yorkbased writer Mark Bittman and dinners he goes to where the chef would stand and speak about how the meal was prepared and the baker, butcher or rancher would stand and also share how the meat was raised. It tweaked something inside her and she came up with the idea of not only providing great recipes from top chefs in the Okanagan Valley, but the relationships that help them create the meals.

winemakers, the book has been called the foodie bible to the Okanagan. Touching on her family roots as farmers in the Okanagan, Schell ensured that stories were told from one end of the valley to the other. Her adventures even took her to Okanagan Game Meats in Enderby where she met owner Richard Yntema, who also is one of the only licensed abattoirs in the Okanagan. “You look to one side of his farm and he has this beautiful deer pasture, then he takes me walking down this dirt road to this little forested area where it

“I think people are more conscious of where their food is coming from and definitely the eating local campaign is getting stronger and farmers markets are getting busier. It is a pretty exciting time I think,” said Schell. “The Okanagan Valley wine world has been very publicized, but now our food world is too. “We have amazing people from all over the world that are here farming and have restaurants—it is this melting pot of talent and it is exciting.” With over 120 contributors from farmers to

is kind of dark. He whispers, ‘Walk quietly behind me and if you hear a huffing noise don’t move.’ Then we see all these really cute little boars running around,” said Schell. “His story is so interesting because his animals lead such wonderful lives and get to die at home. The laws have most animals being shipped to Alberta and it can be very traumatizing for them. A lot of these farmers are really pushing for changes to these laws.” Just like the many people Schell met during the course of writing her cookbook, the project has also been a labour of love for her. A portion of proceeds from the sales will be donated to FarmGate Foundation. These funds will be the seed money to launch this latest initiative in co-operation with the Okanagan Chefs Association. The foundation is focused on feeding the future with community gardens, an initiative for growing food for donation to needy organizations, educational opportunities and more. The Butcher, The Baker, The Wine and Cheese Maker is now available for purchase through www.OkanaganCookbook.com or at various outlets in the Okanagan.

Bears battle Irish for berth in semis Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

For the first time in the program’s existence, the Mt. Boucherie Bears posted an undefeated regular season (6-0) in high school football’s Okanagan AAA Conference. Members of the 2012 Bears would prefer that their legacy didn’t end there. Boucherie will host the Vancouver College Fighting Irish on Saturday at 1 p.m. on the CNC turf, with the winner advancing to the B.C. semifinals on Nov. 24. “We have such a good corps of guys on our team, they can feel it, and they know it’s a great opportunity for them,” said Bears’ head coach Mike Godwin. “The guys have worked hard for this chance.” This will be the second meeting of the season between the teams, as the Irish defeated the Bears 41-28 in exhibition play back in September in Vancouver. Godwin said Van College is a better team than it was two months ago, but so too are the Bears. The Irish is coming off a 41-14 opening round playoff victory over Tweedsmuir last weekend, while Boucherie had a first-round bye. “(Van College’s) last couple of games, they’ve been dismantling people and have been making good teams look pretty

ordinary,” Godwin said. “(Running back Liam) Mahara is a beast and he’s hard to stop. “At the same time, they do have some weaknesses. Our guys have played them before and it wasn’t like we were overmatched. We’re a better team than we were back then, too.” To win on Saturday, Godwin said the Bears will need top-end efforts out of their best players such as Joe Court, Cam Spence, Curtis Urlacher and Peter Briker. Still, Godwin assures it will also take a total team effort. “It’s going to be challenge, it’s going to be intense,” Godwin said. “But if we do the little things right and a couple of breaks go our way, then it’s a game we can legitimately win. They’re a team that will take advantage of mistakes and mental lapses, so we have to eliminate those too.” The Bears’ junior varsity squad is on the road this week as they visit St. Thomas More on Thursday. The Boucherie juniors defeated West Vancouver 33-13 to open the playoffs last week.

Season ends at dome for Owls, Voodoos Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The Kelowna Owls came ready to play and put up a fight, but ultimately went down to defeat in the opening round of the B.C. high school football playoffs. The Notre Dame Jugglers scored a pair of second-quarter touchdowns Saturday at B.C. Place en route to a 21-16 victory over the Owls. After N.D. took an early 7-0 lead, Shawn Gordon found Mitchell Weir with a 13-yard touchdown pass to tie the game up in the first quarter. KSS grabbed its only lead of the game on a 15-yard field goal by Callum Reid in the second quarter, before the Jugglers struck for two quick majors to make it 21-10 at the half. The KSS defense stiffened in the second half as Eli Haynes picked off an N.D. pass at the one-yard line. In the fourth quarter, the Owls scored the day’s final touchdown on a

one-yard plunge by Hudsen Andersonto make it a five-point game, but that’s as close Kelowna would come. Owls head coach Shane Sommerfeld was complimentary of his team’s effort in a pressure-packed environment. “Just a lot of heart with both seniors and Grade 11s playing large in the Dome,” said Sommerfeld. Sommerfeld said the Owls sadly missed lineman Mitchell Houghton, who was unable to attend the game, while receiver Darrion Bunce played despite suffering flu-like symptoms all week. Meanwhile, the Owls JV team will host Mount Douglas in playoff action Saturday at 11 a.m. at CNC. West Vancouver 31 Rutland 13 Like the Owls, the Rutland Voodoos left it all on the field before watching their 2012 season end Saturday afternoon B.C. Place. After a season of many challenges, there was only praise coming from their head coach

as the Voodoos went down to defeat 31-13 to West Vancouver. “The boys showed up from the kick off,” said Voodoos head coach Peter McCall. “It was a turbulent year with numerous injuries, but the boys showed tremendous courage and determination in getting back to the dome for the first time in four years.” Quarterback Keith Prescott threw a pair of TD passes for Rutland, one each to Justice Dovich and Quentin McDowell. With the score 13-6 and a minute remaining the first half, Rutland was stuffed at one yard-line by the West Van defense. The second half was marked by a couple of Voodoos’ turnovers and some mental errors on defense as West Van pulled away over the final two quarters for the win. “They played their hearts out and we all feel pretty good about the season, all things considered,” McCall added. “We were 6-4 overall in our preseason and regular season combined.”

wright, Alta., to defend its title at the Roaming Buffalo Classic. Then next month, the Pierce foursome will reunite in Richard’s hometown for the Canadian Open of Curling, Dec. 12 to 16 at Prospera Place. “We’ve never had an event like this in Kelowna, so it’ should be pretty exciting,” Richard said. “It’s as strong a field as you’re going to see anywhere, so hopefully people will come out to watch.” In the New Year, Pierce and Richard hope to take another crack at the B.C. men’s championship in Parksville. The New Westminster team lost a heartbreaker last year in the final to the Jim Cotter rink. “That was a great game, they beat us on the last shot in the 10th,” Richard said. “Hopefully we can get back there for another try.”

STAFF REPORTER

What began last season as an experimental merger between Brent Pierce and Jeff Richard has developed into a winning proposition. With the 34-yearold Kelowna curler playing third for Pierce, the New Westminster rink has been among the hottest teams in the country through the first two months of the 2012-13 World Curling Tour season. The Pierce rink— also featuring second Kevin Recksiedler and lead Grant Dezura—has qualified for the playoffs at four of five WCT events this year, including winning the titles in both Cloverdale and Kamloops. Richard joined Pierce last season and, for the first several events, threw skip rocks. He moved into the third position last year at the B.C. men’s championship and the foursome hasn’t looked back since. “It’s been going really well,” said Richard, who has mostly played skip over the last decade. “It seems to work better on this team with Brent skipping and me playing third. It’s something different for me, but I like it. As a

Surging Rockets Sun Devils vs visit Ams for Lions in JB final weekend set ▼ MINOR FOOTBALL

Minor football’s version of the Battle of the Bridge will take to the CNC artificial turf this Sunday, Nov. 18. At 2 p.m., the West Kelowna Sun Devils will take on the Kelowna Lions for the Southern Interior Football Conference junior bantam division championship. The Sun Devils and Lions, who both finished the regular season with 9-1 records, advanced to the final thanks to wins last weekend in the conference semifinals The Sun Devils pounded the Vernon Marauders 60-20. Nick Kopp rushed for 214 yards and three touchdowns, while Nate Humes ran for 248 yards and a pair of majors. Ty Troung added a pair majors, while Chris Smith scored a touchdown and added 10 points on converts and an interception. Meanwhile, the Lions

took care of Salmon Arm 46-0 in the other semifinal. Taylor Knoll paced the offense with 169 yards rushing and four touchdowns, and and also passed for a touchdown. Chancelor Bevanda rushed for 102 yards on five carries and one touchdown, caught four passes with a touchdown, while Blaise Beauchemin scored one touchdown and passed for 37 yards. “The defensive effort was outstanding,” said Lions coach Arden Knoll. “The defence produced a lot of three-and-outs, which gave our offense to put some major drives together in the game. “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.”

Please be advised that the Marantz NR1403 5.1-Channel Slim A/V Receiver (WebID: 10206202), advertised in Future Shop's November 9 flyer, page 6, was shown with an incorrect price. The correct price of this product is $479.99, NOT $449.99, as previously advertised. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

After a week of rest, the hottest team in the WHL’s B.C. Division will head south this weekend for a two-game stop in Kennewick, Wash. The Kelowna Rockets, riding a five-game winning streak, will visit the Tri-City Americans for a double bill, Friday and Saturday nights at the Toyota Centre. The recent run of success has pulled Kelowna (12-6-1-1) to within two points of the Americans (13-7-1-1) for third spot overall in the Western Conference. “It’s a chance for us to make up some ground,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “The (Toyota Center) is always a tough place to play for visiting teams, so that’s a challenge for our guys, a good challenge to see if we can claw our way a little closer to the top.”

The Rockets have outscored their opponents 22-4 over the five-game stretch, including posting a pair of shutouts. Despite a full week off, Huska doesn’t see any reason for his club to lose the momentum it has built up over the last three weeks. “I don’t think it’s going to change our approach or the way we’ve been doing things,” Huska said. “The last couple of weeks, we’ve only been playing a couple of games anyway, so this shouldn’t feel any different. It’s been important for the guys keep up their tempo in practise. They’ve been doing some good things lately and hopefully we’ll keep seeing that.” The Rockets should have Carter Rigby available for the weekend after the 18-year-old forward missed the last 12 games

Defensive ends Aidan Vint and Wilson Holland both were outstanding on the line shutting down the Vikings running game. Chad Laughren, the Lions Quarterback was named game MVP for directing his team to over 250 yards on total offense. Laughren ran a controlled offense that saw seven different players carry the ball. He also threw for one touch down to Wilson Holland who was named Most Sportsmanlike Player of the game for his work on both sides of the ball. The offensive line of Keegan Bray, Cory Couch, Dylan McBratney, Leon Johns and Morgan Scott were outstanding as well, protecting the

quarterback and opening up lanes for the running backs all game.

BUSINESS ▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Accounting students top the Interior in case management competition A team of Okanagan College students proved they have a head for business, after coming in third place in the Certified Management Accountants-BC Case Competition up against 30 teams from colleges and universities around the province. Ben Ankenbauer, Cam Bailey, Jordan Innes and Meng An Chao took home a $1,000 cheque for their performance in the challenging two-day competition held in Vancouver Nov. 2 and 3. Only 10 teams made it to the final round. The team was one of two from Okanagan College that took part in the event, which started Friday evening with students

preparing a case on strategic leadership that they presented before the judges on Saturday. “The presentations were all so great this year,” said CMA-BC business development officer Katie Hensrud. Camosun College took first place, and Kwantlen Polytechnic University came in second. Other teams taking part in the finals were from UBC (both the Vancouver and Kelowna campuses), Simon Fraser University and Capilano University. Matt Podewils, Amanda Wright, Benton Calder and Julia Ufimzeff comprised the second Okana-

gan College team. Okanagan School of Business professor Karen Matthews, who coached the two accounting teams, said the case was demanding, but the students were up for the challenge.

▼ THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Legendary musical presented this Christmas season Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

When the Austrian-owned Sparkling Hill Resort approached Melina Moore with a request to put on The Sound of Music, the talented Vernon-based opera singer was already thinking world class. As a globe-trotting performer, Moore has had the opportunity to work with a wide array of talent and knew exactly who to call to put the region’s best foot forward and truly do justice to the Austrian Christmas tradition. “It’s the first time the Sound of Music will play with a full symphony in the Valley,” she said. “So this is very exciting and a very big deal.” Pulling in part-time Valley resident, part-time Londoner Lisa Schofield to choreograph the musicladen production, not to mention musical director Carol Colpitts who retired from the Vancouver theatre scene where she staged over 50 musicals, Moore deftly lined up the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra and director Rosemary Thomson before assembling her cast. “We have the cast of 30, then the full symphony and a fairly big crew as well,” said Moore. “ So it’s a very big production.” Based on the true story of the Trapp Family Singers—though reputedly a well-polished version of the actual clan— the von Trapps are as varied as they are many, though they unite around the common bond of music. Trying to assemble enough performers to replicate the story—first a stage production, then a movie—thus attracted performers from Rev-

elstoke to Penticton. The cast ranges from a fiveyear-old with little performing experience to those with a CV of local hits that could fill a bill in and of themselves, making it challenging for the musical director. “You wear a lot of different hats,” said Colpitts. “Last night I was teaching the Captain how to play the guitar, then I was helping the children and then I was with Maria.” From the music to the

costume, the production acknowledges the popular position the von Trapps hold in our collective culture and both Colpitts and costume designer Hazel Rodgers tried very hard to stick closely to the themes and feel of the movie. “I do tell the children they can’t blow the lyrics because the audience will start singing along,” said Colpitts, who occassionally jumps in when professional performers needing accompaniment

tour through the valley. Equally difficult has been costuming a cast of such vast proportions at Christmas time on six weeks notice. Rodgers can’t simply go out and find a wedding dress as she’s got to try to match the simple vintage number Maria wears in the movie version. She’s been sewing it herself, while doing the costumes for the Kelowna Actors Studio’s Miracle on 34th Street.

Now the full-time costume designer at the Kelowna Actors Studio, Rodgers must balance two productions. This one includes some 62 costumes, but the Actors Studio production is even larger. Thankfully, the Actors Studio previously staged The Sound of Music and has made its costumes available to the production; though Rodgers isn’t phased. “I started in Montreal working on the Just for

Laughs Festival doing all of their galas. We would hear who was coming the night before they arrived and have to be ready. That was way more stressful. “…I love Christmas and the idea that you have a happy musical to go to,” she added. “I don’t try to reinvent the wheel. People are expecting to see what they saw in the movie and then they will see it.” The production itself will have several Kelowna actors including three of the child characters. Leisl von Trapp, the oldest von Trapp, will be played by Ella Kuntz and Friedrich by Jaxon Jensen. Rolf, Liesl’s love interest, is Kelowna’s Justin Swanson’s role. As for Moore, she freely admits she’s built herself a good gig. “I absolutely adore Maria,” said Moore. “I love her innocence and her joy for life and the fact

that she means so well but she’s always getting into trouble, which I can relate to. “Her trepidation and confusion about her feelings for the Captain as she’s falling in love with him, its so beautiful and so real.” Moore is known for passionate performances and appears to be performing well as this production’s producer. The Sound of Music, featuring the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, plays the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre this Dec. 7-8, sponsored by Sparkling Hill Resort. The cast will repeat the performance for the Sparkling Hill guests—a closed event— on New Year’s Eve.

Rutland Middle School Home of the Voodoos

Community Connection NOVEMBER 2012

We are Voodoos By Kim, Amber and Josie, grade 8 The Rutland Middle School mascot is the Voodoo. The original voodoo was an airplane called the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo. The airplane was an all-weather interceptor aircraft operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force. In 1956 the name was adapted to Rutland Senior School and became their mascot. Rutland Middle School followed their lead and used it as their mascot, too. The Voodoo had its ﬁrst test ﬂight September 29, 1954. The Voodoo was retired in 1987. There were 132 made. Now the Voodoo is a symbol at RMS that stands for school spirit and pride. Imagine this… seven school sports teams run into the gym, rugby, volleyball,

cross country, one athlete after another. The crowd of students go wild! Everyone is wearing their school spirit colours of gold and blue, and celebrating all the things that have happened at RMS throughout the month of October. The spirit days at Rutland Middle School are a blast. Run by our leadership class and fully documented by the awesome photographers from the yearbook class and media studies, spirit days are energetic and leave RMS students with a smile on their faces. While the students enter the gym music is playing and there is a slideshow retell-

talk to students about jobs, their future and the adventure he went on. Turns out he is quite the public speaker. Aiken reminded RMS students that everyone has special talents and that they should develop their strengths. “If you love doing it, it isn’t really a job” said Aiken. That whole thing intrigued quite a few students. It made them think about what they want to do when they join the workforce. Rutland Middle School students have a variety of aspirations for the future. When asked, one student reported wanting to be a resource teacher (just like her mom), another student wants to be a photographer, and another said dental hygienist.

SEAN AIKEN encourages stu-

dents to find a job they love. Since completing his 52 jobs in 52 weeks, Sean frequently speaks at high schools, colleges, and corporations throughout North America.

Let’s get reading About us

By Meaghan Brown, grade 8 This year at RMS, teachers and librarians are encouraging students to read more books. They have purchased many new books and introduced a reading passport program to the school. The passport encourages students to read from a variety of genres. To get this program started students went to the library and participated in an event called speed read-

pictures from the Terry Fox Run. Mrs. Harshenin, Mr. Ragoonaden and our new principal Mrs.Weninger enter the gym and congratulate the students for their many achievements. Everyone at Rutland Middle School enjoys going to spirit assemblies. Show your Voodoo spirit!

■ Me to We Day Inspires Change

What makes you come alive? By Josh Clark and Charnvir Khun Khun A lot of students don’t know what they want to do when they grow up. Neither did Sean Aiken. He couldn’t ﬁnd his passion. He believes you should not work a job you don’t love. Aiken took these beliefs and decided to launch a one week job project. For 52 weeks he worked in places all across Canada and the United States. A few of his jobs were; bungee instructor, advertising executive, stock trader, baker, and an NHL mascot. Since these job experiences Sean Aiken has become a motivational speaker whose message has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, TIME, Globe & Mail, and others. He came to Rutland Middle School on October 17th, to

By Navpreet Ghuman and Puneet Hari On October 18th, 20 students and staff from Rutland Middle School visited Rogers Arena in Vancouver to see speakers and performers celebrate Me to We Day. Me to We Day is a youth organized event created by Craig and Marc Kielburger. We Day encourages students to create social justice. The event, which started in 2007, takes place in Toronto, Vancouver, Alberta, Manitoba, Waterloo Region, Montreal, Saskatchewan, Seattle, Halifax and Ottawa. This year’s focus was bullying. Bullying is a big issue and teens were emotional and motivated for change after the death

of teenager Amanda Todd. The message at We Day was clear, bullying needs to end. We Day performers included Demi Lovato, Cody Simpson, My Name is Kay, Shawn Desman, and OneRepublic and others. The speakers

included Rick Hanson, Holly Branson, Desmond Tutu, Magic Johnson, and Spencer West and many others. Rut-

Students expressed that it was great see young kids and adults being educated together with students as the leaders. Since the event Rutland Middle School students have kept up their enthusiasm. They organized a Halloween food drive called We Scare Hunger where they set a goal to collect over a thousand cans of food for a Kelowna food bank. Rutland Middle School is an ofﬁcial We School and looks forward to carrying forward ideas and inspiration for a more fair and just world.

RMS basketball club runs every Wednesday after school from 3:40-4:30pm. The club is open to everyone, you just have to want to play and show up with a gym strip and some proper footwear. The program is led by two very amazing coaches, Mr. Scorgie and Mr. Krolak. The teachers are motivated to teach students some new basketball skills and to provide a space and time for students who just want to shoot some hoops with some friends.

There are great choices like Goosebumps, Twilight and books by the popular author Darren Shan to entertain and scare students. It’s always nice to take some quiet time and enjoy the library at Rutland Middle School. Reading opens up new worlds of ideas, knowledge and imagination. Happy reading RMS!

Oscar buzz starting for Day-Lewis as Lincoln

Old meets new in Skyfall

lthough The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawnâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Part 2 has the longer title and will likely be the number one movie over the weekend, Steven Spielbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lincoln has already garnered a lot of attention. It opened in 11 theatres in North America last weekend, breaking a box office record for a limited release, so it is going to be interesting to see how well it does in more theatres, including its exclusive engagement at the Paramount Theatre Lincoln has been a pet project of Spielbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a decade and is based on only a part of Doris Kearns Goodwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biography Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. Spielberg determined that Goodwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire book was much too big for one film. The part the

▼ MOVIE REVIEW

Bond unusually dark, revealing

Steen from B4 There is quite a lot to this film, beside the usual good agent versus bad agent: There is the age-old friction between the old and the new, the young and the old, between what and how it was done in the past and what is new and modern. This thread weaves through the whole story—even the spectre of “retirement” looms. This is where the line: “Oh to Hell with dignity, I’ll leave when the job is done,” said by M, real-

ly takes us to the heart of what is happening and in fact is so relevant in today’s world, where youth is taking the place of the older worker and many of us are at a crossroads in terms of careers and retirement. This sentiment is reinforced with the Bond line: “It’s a brave new world.” While Bond himself is also older and perhaps not as quick to rebound as he once was, youth and muscle are still no match for brains and gadgetry.

Opening with the song Skyfall, sung by Adele, to see the cast of this film is somewhat like meeting old friends; Daniel Craig of course, as Bond, Judi Dench is M, Javier Bardem is the former agent Silva, Ralf Fiennes is Gareth Mallory, who is not nearly as snobby as he first appears, British-born Naomi Harris as Eve, Albert Finney is the loyal Kincade and Ben Whishaw is the new and youthful Q. Skyfall has already made $287 million in the

first 10 days of its international release, proving yet again that a 44-yearold can recalibrate Bond for a new generation. With Craig signed up for two more Bond films, it looks like the franchise is going strong. I give Skyfall 3 1/2 reels.

Twilight series good job security

Davis from B4

nthe United States and he nseems to have a lock on

an Academy Award nomination. The rest of the cast is very impressive, including Sally Field as First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as son Robert Todd Lincoln, as well as James Spader, David Strathairn, Tommy Lee Jones and nHal Holbrook, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of Lincoln in a 1976 TV mini-series. The aforementioned Twilight Saga is coming

to an end this weekend with the release of Breaking Dawn—Part 2, but series creator Stephanie Meyer is not sitting on her laurels. She turns her attention from her book series about vampires and werewolves to her series about alien possession, producing the film adaptation of her sci-fi novel The Host. Not being a fan of the Twilight movies, I was not terribly excited about this story about alien souls invading the minds of humans and in particular, an alien who inhabits the mind of a

young woman. However, when I learned it was being adapted and directed by Andrew Niccol (who wrote and directed Gattaca and In Time and was Oscar-nominated for writing The Truman Show) and was starring Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones and Hanna), I became much more interested. What could be the start of the next big series of movies, The Host is being released in March of next year. In the meantime, we can celebrate (or put up with, depending on your point of view) the

final movie in the Twilight Saga. The beginning of the end starts today at the Landmark Xtreme 8 with a marathon of all five movies starting at 12:30 p.m. today and showings of Breaking Dawn—Part 2 at 10 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. I personally fall into the “put up with” category, but do have a certain love for the Twilight series—they have provided good job security.

Constituents prepared to stand up against bullying I wish to acknowledge the efforts of two constituents who continue to raise awareness about bullying in our community. The first is Jeff Christie, a young man from Kelowna who made an attempt on his own to organize an anti-bullying rally last Saturday at Rutland Centennial Park. Though the turnout was small, talking with Jeff and the participants provided an opportunity to discuss the issue and what can be done to encourage people to stand up against bullying. The second is Laurie Baird, who wrote to me to let me know that Nov.12 to 17 is the 10th anniversary of Bullying Awareness Week in Canada, and to encourage constituents to go to www.bully-

MP’S REPORT

Ron Cannan ingawarenesss.org website to learn more. As it says on the website, “Bullying Awareness Week is an opportunity for people at the grassroots level in communities around the world to get involved in this issue, not by waiting for “someone else” to do something, but rather for us to work together on preventing bullying in our communities through education and awareness.”

Bullying touches all of us, directly or indirectly, regardless of age, gender, culture, religion or nationality. I applaud the efforts of Jeff and Laurie, and for all my constituents who choose to take action to try to make our community a better, safer place. As well, Nov. 12 to 18 is also Natural Health Products Week in Canada. According to the Canadian Health Food Association, Natural Health Products Week raises awareness and shines a spotlight on natural health products (NHPs), their benefits, and the importance of the natural health industry to the more than 70 per cent of Canadians who use them. My family can be counted as part of that 70 per cent, as can our con-

stituents who, over the years, have taken the time to write to me about the regulation of natural health products in Canada. There is a robust effort by NHP retailers and manufacturers across Canada to see improvements made to the regulatory process, and to encourage Health Canada to treat natural health products differently than other regulated pharmaceuticals. I recently met with NHP industry reps in my Ottawa office and the feedback was positive, confirming the government is making progress on this issue. In this regard, I received the following update on the progress Health Canada is making with regards to the treat-

UPCOMING ROUTES AVAILABLE

ment of NHPs. Health Canada is making a shift in its approach to regulating natural health products to reduce red tape and increase consumer access and industry growth, while maintaining consumer safety. Health Canada is building on what it has learned since the NHP regulations came into effect, what we hear from stakeholders and consumers—and what we see happening globally. For Canadians, these changes will result in faster access to innovative, safe natural health products. The focus of efforts will continue to be on the small group of more complex, higher risk products. Most natural health products are lower risk and can be effectively managed with a lighter regulatory touch. As planned, the temporary Unprocessed

Product License Application Regulations (UPLAR) of the natural health product regulations will come to an end in February 2013. At that time, the NHP-UPLAR will no longer be needed. The federal government has made changes to its licensing processes that will enable licensing decisions to be made within 180 days or less. Industry can now count on timely review of applications, and there are new tools and pathways to bring products to market. After the repeal of UPLAR, NHPs will continue to be regulated under their own specific regulations which take into account the unique nature of these products. While there are those who believe that NHPs should not be regulated at all, I believe the majority of consumers want some assurance that the

products they purchase are safe, whether on their own or in combination with other NHPs and medications. On that basis, Health Canada continues to work on behalf of consumers to ensure that Canadians have access and choice to safe natural health products. To learn more about Health Canada’s approach to NHPs, please go to the website www. hc-sc.gc.ca. On Sunday, I return to Ottawa for the resumption of Parliament. It has been great to be back in the riding this week to connect with constituents directly. As always, should you have any questions regarding this or any federally-related issue, do not hesitate to contact me at ron@cannan.ca or call 250-470-5075. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country.

▼ $13 MILLION PROJECT

Wastewater treatment plant upgrade done Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The Regional Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant is better equipped for future growth after the recent completion of a $13.3-million expansion. The plant, which treats water from West Kelowna, Peachland and Westbank First Nation sewer systems, served a population of 43,000 in 2011. The expansion will allow for the facility to serve a larger population in the future. According to Mike Wyman, chief operator of the plant, major upgrades included the addition of a centrifuge, two new bioreactors, secondary clarifiers and UV disinfection. “With the expansion and the development of the local area, (the future) is always a concern,” said Wyman. “You never want to be behind.” The upgrade has expanded flow capacity from 11.2 M3/d to 16.8

M3/d. The purpose of the wastewater treatment plant is to treat waterborne waste to a degree that it may be discharged at an environmentally acceptable level, prevent the pollution of surface waters and protect downstream users. Wyman said there are still many residents who have the wrong idea about what the plant does. “A misconception would be that the wastewater is basically doused with some sort of chemical to remove the waste then sent out to Okanagan Lake.” Wyman toured local politicians and other guests throughout the plant Wednesday morning to show them the entire process of treating wastewater. He explained that the facility is world-class for its use of automation. “Even back in 1988, it was one of the most automated plants in the world and still is to this day.”

WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

MIKE WYMAN, chief operator of the Regional Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant, tours a group, which included several local politicians, through the plant Wednesday morning (above). Taking part in the ribbon cutting (below) to officially open the upgraded new plant were (from left) Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding, Westbank First Nation Coun. Chris Derickson, Lake Country Mayor James Baker, Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas, Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart and West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. The Canada-British Columbia Building Canada Fund—Communities Component funded $4.9 million of the total cost. The remaining funds for the expansion came from reserve contributions collected by the three local governments. “This project meets the communities’ goal of

high environmental standards and allows for additional capacity to bring on expanded neighbourhood growth,” said Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart. Wyman said a fourth upgrade will likely occur in the future, but a timeline for that expansion has yet to be determined.

“It depends on development of the local area, but there is definitely a stage four,” said Wyman. “It would be another set of bioreactors, another set of clarifiers, probably more filtration.” He added the ongoing concern of odour control would also be looked at in the future.

▼ TRANSIT TEST

West Kelowna councillors take a ride on the bus Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

After hearing complaints from the public about riding buses, two West Kelowna councillors decided to experience the local transit system firsthand. Coun. Rick de Jong and Carol Zanon rode the bus from each of their homes to UBCO last month. Throughout the trip, the councillors made observations and had conversations with regular transit users. His first leg of the trip from Glenrosa to downtown Westbank was standing room only, noted de Jong.

During that stretch of the ride, he heard “rumblings about scheduling” issues from other passengers on the bus. The bus made several stops to pick up passengers in Glenrosa and de Jong said it was a few minutes late arriving at the town centre. “There certainly is room for improvements on the scheduling side of things,” said de Jong. The newest member of West Kelowna council used the opportunity to educate riders about Bus Rapid Transit, which will be introduced in 2014. “There’s an eager anticipation for the Rapid Bus Transit that’s coming

“From an enjoyment perspective, I’d have to rate it around a seven—not looking at the efficiencies of the system because there are efficiencies that need to be addressed,” said de Jong. He added Route 21 from Glenrosa is often late because it’s “heavily loaded and constantly stopping for multiple passengers to board during peak hours.” Zanon rated her experience an eight out of 10 and noted the bus drivers were “professional, polite and courteous.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

▼ TRAFFIC VICTIMS REMEMBERED

Kelowna recognizes worldwide focus on road safety T he traditional Remembrance Day ceremonies went ahead last Sunday as they do every year, in memory of the thousands of men and women who have sacrificed their lives in military service. Last weekend, I caught a CBC radio interview discussing whether or not there is a conflict between the red poppy campaign and the white poppy campaign. The red colour seems

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott to put a focus on honouring sacrifice, viewing war as a necessity, while the white colour puts a focus on mourning the losses, a rejection of war, and a call for peaceful conflict res-

olution. There is value in commemorating the losses, whatever focus you put on it. Those who were marched into battle and gave their lives for the rest of us ought to be remembered. Equally, or more so, the bandage needs to be ripped off from time to time to mourn the horrendous social cost of war, to motivate us in avoiding future armed conflicts. Another day of remembrance is just around

the corner. I doubt many of you have ever heard of it, even though it commemorates a loss of life to Canadians over the last 50 years that exceeds the loss of Canadian lives in both world wars. The loss of life is just the tip of the iceberg. It also commemorates the hundreds of people injured for every fatality, many permanently. I am referring to the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash

Victims. In 2005, the United Nations endorsed a World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims to be observed annually every third Sunday in November, making it a major advocacy day for road traffic injury prevention. Governments around the world were encouraged to commemorate this day. With a daily loss of life on roads throughout the world of almost 4,000, and hundreds of

thousands injured every day, it is an issue that caught the attention of the UN. Canada’s National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims is the Wednesday following the World Day, and was first commemorated in 2008. That day falls next week on Wednesday, Nov. 21. Commemoration of the day in British Columbia has been extremely limited, virtually non-existent. To my knowledge, this day has never even been commemorated in Kelowna. At my request, Mayor Walter Gray has proclaimed Nov. 21 as a Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims in the City of Kelowna. I prefer the wording “road traffic victims” to “road crash victims” because it is all-inclusive. I am thinking here specifically of pedestrian casualties. There is a “red poppy” element to the day, in honour of the emergency services personnel who are killed and injured responding to road traffic incidents, and otherwise doing their jobs on our roadways. There is also a white poppy element, recognizing and mourning the losses so as to motivate us to do something about it. The loss of life and injuries just keep marching on day after day, week after week, year after year, as if like troops continually marching into battle. The maddening reality is that road traffic casualties are preventable.

A Day of Peace has been suggested as a global initiative; a day of respect by and towards all road users; a day on which exceptional care is taken by motorists; a day of courtesy at the wheel and a day when all road laws are respected so that a world day without any crashes resulting in injury or death will become a reality. Can we start that as a British Columbia initiative in Kelowna on Nov. 21? Statistically, there is an injury about every 3 1/2 hours in Kelowna alone. Can we go 24 hours without any injuries or deaths? Can a seed we plant here grow to include other communities, and to include all of British Columbia? Can a day without injuries or deaths grow to a week? Can we start something that makes a real difference? Join me, local emergency services personnel, those mourning road traffic injuries and deaths, and others motivated to make a change on Wednesday, Nov. 21, 5 p.m., in the Orchard park Shopping Mall parking lot, corner of Dilworth Drive and Highway 97, for a brief commemoration of this important day. One crash is too many. If we start believing that and driving like we believe it, we can make a difference. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims.

A strong immune system is the body’s best defense against colds and flu. Good nutrition is key to building your body’s defenses. Help fight common bugs by filling your diet with healthy foods. Load up on fruits and vegetables. They contain powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which will build up your immune system to help fight off illness. Choose brightly coloured or dark green fruits and veggies for the most antioxidants. Aim for seven to eight servings per day. One serving equals one small to medium sized piece of fruit or vegetable or half a cup of chopped. Digestive health plays an important role in preventing sickness. Normally, your body contains “friendly” bacteria, or flora, that help fight off any “bad” bacteria trying to gain access to your system. Diets high in refined sugar, frequent antibiotic use, and everyday stress can disrupt this healthy balance of “friendly” versus “bad” bacteria, leaving one more vulnerable to sickness. You can help restore healthy digestive flora by eating foods that naturally contain good bacteria and/ or by taking a probiotic supplement.

Probiotics can be found naturally in fermented foods such as yogurt, buttermilk, miso, tempeh, and fresh sauerkraut. Vitamin D is also thought to play an important role in strengthening the immune system. Health Canada recommends 200-600 IU per day depending on age. Some other national health organizations recommend higher doses.

For instance the Canadian Cancer Society recommends 1000 IU per day for adults during the fall and winter months. Dietary sources of vitamin D include milk, fortified soy beverage, salmon, tuna, sardines and egg yolks. Talk to your health care provider to learn if you are getting enough vitamin D. Of course nutrition is only part of the solution.

Exercise is also a powerful way to bolster your immune system. Among the many benefits of exercise is stress reduction. Stress takes a significant toll on our immune system so it’s important to take time for yourself. Get out for a brisk walk, bike ride, take part in yoga, or any physical activity that you enjoy!

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.
