Painful journey ends for victim’s family “(The defence) was a gong show. They made Ashlee sound like a bully—she was never a bully—and her friends, who are good people, were attacked. It was hard.”

As the leaves turn colour and float down onto Ellis Street next fall, they may escape the indignity of being ground into the pavement by a cavalcade of semi-trucks. On Monday, city council supported a staff report that called for an end to heavy truck traffic along Ellis Street, the heart of Kelowna’s cultural district. The street is currently open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 400 trucks rumble down it per day, much to the chagrin of business owners and residents in the area, who have been writing letters and organizing petitions expressing their displeasure about the practice for years. Now city staff is onboard with the heavy truck ban, pointing out that it’s at odds with the downtown plan. Gordon Drive, they say, is already a truck route, and there’s no reason it can’t carry a heavier load of traffic in the future.

For the last two years, Charrie Hyatt sought peace in the aftermath of a violent episode that unhinged her life. Then on Monday, the feeling that seemed forever beyond her grasp finally came along. “It should be sunny today—I woke up happy, which was weird,” she said, making note of the gloomy weather. “Ashlee is at peace, we have closure and the court nightmare is over.” On Sunday afternoon, a jury of 12 decided the teen who was accused of killing her 16-year-old daughter Ashlee, June 2, 2010, was guilty of manslaughter. It took just over two days for the verdict to be rendered, and that final stretch was more difficult than expected. “When you’re waiting for that decision, and trying to stay calm, it’s hard,” she said. “I thought I was going to hyperventilate. I was so nervous. I’ve fought for justice for two and a half years …and I believed so hard.” It was ultimately up to “12 strangers” to accept what she saw as truth, but the trial offered so many twists and turns that there were moments that even she found herself unsettled. Crown counsel Murray Kaay had laid out a straightforward case that came down to one teen deciding to use a knife to end a teenage drama. That decision left Ashlee with a five-centimetredeep wound to her neck, and ultimately dying of massive blood loss. DNA evidence on the knife and the killer’s clothes, as well as witness testimony that placed the teen with the weapon left only one answer, Kaay said. The defence, however, suggested an alternate scenario that relied on a chronology of moments leading up to the stabbing, character smash-ups, as well as the details of teenage love triangles —all of which were trivial when compared to what came next. In the final days of the trial, they offered up who they believed to be another viable option for the role of killer; Ashlee’s longtime friend. “(The defence) was a gong show,” said Charrie. “They made Ashlee sound like a bully—she was never a bully—and her friends, who are good people, were attacked. It was hard.” The negative way her daughter and friends were portrayed in the courtroom was almost enough to shake her faith in a system that ultimately sided with her. “It’s weighted to the defence,” she said. “The ac-

Loss of ambulance upsetting to Big White Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
For the first time in 20 years, the Big White Ski Resort will not have a B.C. Ambulance stationed at the ski hill this season. Officials at the resort are questioning the decision by the B.C. Ambulance Service to pull the ambulance just weeks before the opening of another ski season. After an operational review of ambulance services in the Kelowna area, the B.C. Ambulance Service (BCAS) decided to relocate the ambulance that had been deployed at Big White in past years and station it in Lake Country. “This change will not result in a reduction in service for the region,” stated the BCAS in an email to the Capital News. “In fact, the amount of time that the paramedics will be actively provid-
ing patient care is expected to increase two or three times compared to when the ambulance was based at Big White.” BCAS also stated that in past years the ambulance at Big White was responding to just one call per day and was only in operation for half the year while it will now provide year-round coverage to the Okanagan Valley. But the decision to remove the ambulance from Big White is causing concern at the resort which sees more than 600,000 skier visits each season. “This is a bad decision and it needs to be overturned,” said Michael Ballingall, Big White’s senior vice-president of sales and marketing. “The last thing we want is to have someone suffer because the ambulance service is so far away or, God forbid, someone passes away because the medical services
are unavailable.” Ballingall said he has anecdotal evidence of the need for the ambulance, including one email he received from a skier who suffered a heart attack in a lift line before being attended to by BCAS paramedics and taken to hospital in the ambulance. “If it had not been for the immediate care and attention I received from the EMS at Big White and in the ambulance down to Kelowna General, I could very well not be here today,” wrote the man, who Ballingall said asked to remain anonymous. Ballingall has met with local politicians asking that they look into the situation. He also said BCAS call numbers at Big White are skewed to the low side as many people opt to call the Big White Ski Patrol if they are injured, instead of calling 911. In an email, a BCAS

B.C. AMBULANCE SERVICE has decided to pull the ambulance and crew it has stationed at Big White Ski Resort in previous years and relocate it to Lake Country. official stated that Big White was the only ski hill in British Columbia to have an ambulance station based at the resort and that the new service model is in line with how BCAS provides service to other ski resorts in B.C. It said that Big White residents and visitors will
continue to receive ambulance service via ground from Kelowna and by a helicopter based in Kamloops, with medical care being offered by the Big White Ski Patrol and local first responders until an ambulance arrives. But Ballignall said it wasn’t good enough.
“This is going to put undo stress on volunteers and paid members of our staff.” B.C. Ambulance says it will continue to monitor call volumes in the Kelowna area and make changes to the services as required.
“In B.C. our safety net is not private enterprise it’s the B.C. Ambulance,” he said. “The Ski Patrol is a professional, volunteer organization and they don’t have the equipment, the qualifications or the licenses to do what a B.C. Ambulance can do.

Remembrance moment for car crash victims planned Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Those injured and killed in traffic accidents will be remembered in Kelowna Nov. 21 during the inaugural national Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims in Kelowna. The event, part of a world day of remembrance endorsed by the United Nations, is being spearheaded here by West Kelowna personal injury lawyer Paul Hergott. Hergott, who writes a weekly column about road
safety issues and the law for the Capital News, has launched a local campaign called One Crash is Too Many to help raise awareness about the preventability of motor vehicle related injuries. To coincide with the local event, which will be held in the Orchard Park Shopping Centre Parking lot at the corner of Highway 97 and Dilworth Road, Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray has proclaimed Nov. 21 the Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims in the city. Hergott said the event is in-
tended to support, and be a focal point for, those who have suffered the effects of road traffic injuries or deaths and to raise awareness about traffic safety. According to ICBC, in an average year in Kelowna, there are approximately 8,300 crashes on local roads—a figure that translates into about one per hour. Approximately 2,600 people are injured here as a result, or one every 3 1/2 hours. In B.C., the cost of traffic accidents, not taking into account the emotional losses or the pain and suffering of vic-
tims and grieving family members, is $8.8 billion per year. The total number of people killed on Canada’s roads in the last 50 years is greater than the combined Canadian losses in the First and Second World Wars says a Transport Canada study. As a result, Hergott is urging the members of the driving public to take notice and improve their driving habits. The World Day Of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims was started by a group called RoadPeace in 1993 and has been promoted worldwide by several non-governmental
organizations since then. While it has been celebrated in some parts of Europe in the past, Hergott said it has only been sparsely recognized in Canada and even less so in B.C. over the last five years. In 2011, he said he could only find reports of two celebrations, one at a secondary school in Surrey and the other at the B.C. Legislature, where Premier Christie Clark mentioned it as part of an announcement about tougher impaired driving laws. The Nov. 21 gathering is slated to start at 5 p.m. and will

Swap from A4 whole scenario a loss for all governments involved. To ensure that type of conflict is avoided in the future, the District of West Kelowna is providing input for a federal review of the Addition to Reserve policy process. Senior staff with Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada visited West Kelowna council Tuesday. Kris Johnson, senior director of lands modernization, told council the current Addition to Reserve policy has been in place for over 10 years. “We do revise it from time to time, but it tends to be on about a 10 to 15 year cycle,” said Johnson. “We feel like we are at a good juncture now to make some updates, incorporate some of the lessons that we’ve learned over recent years.” Johnson said the goal is to come up with a revised policy “that reflects all of the various interests that are impacted when you change the status of lands from one jurisdiction to another.” Coun. Rick de Jong said a revised policy should collect feedback from affected municipalities early in the process. “One of the flaws I see in the process is at what point in the process the provincial and federal government are engaging local municipal government. It needs to happen as soon in the process as possible. Where that engagement is happening now needs to be improved on,” said de Jong. Coun. Carol Zanon told Johnson it’s important that the municipalities have their opinions heard before land transfers take place. “It’s our land that’s being affected and our taxpayers and we feel that we have a real interest in knowledge and being aware of these transactions at an earlier stage than what it has been in the past,” said Zanon. Findlater gave Johnson several specific suggestions to review, including the transfer’s impact on municipal infrastructure, the tax base and the municipality’s Official Community Plan. He also requested a parity in environmental laws and enquired about compensation for transferred land that is serviced by the municipality. He also suggested forming a joint planning body to review such issues. Johnson said West Kelowna’s input will be considered in the review process.

NEWS ▼ ASHLEE HYATT TRIAL
‘I had to make a decision not to be angry all the time’ Mother from A1 cused has so many rights that you can’t infringe on, but we don’t get character witnesses for Ashlee. Why can’t we say something positive about a girl that’s now dead?” It’s not surprising that a mother wants to share the brighter side of her daughter’s personality and life. Nor that negative portrayals circulating years after her death were painful to deal with. But beyond that, positivity is actually something that Charrie has fought to maintain in the last couple of years. “The day after Ashlee died, I thought what do I do, where do I go from here?” she said. “Then, it’s almost like I got a sense of calm, and I knew. (The convicted teen) already took my Ashlee, but she wasn’t going to take me and my (youngest daughter)…I had to make a decision to not be angry all the time.” It wasn’t an easy decision to stand by, but she was given help by reaching out to an online network of parents who had experienced similar losses named, Families Against Crime and Trauma. “So many I spoke to went to such
negative ways and they told me how it destroyed their lives, and I wanted to be different,” she said. “I wanted to make sure it didn’t affect (my younger daughter) and Ashlee wouldn’t have wanted us to be hostile and angry, anyway. She would have been so disappointed if I changed as a person.” Charrie also sought counselling, and although it took more than four and a half months to access, victims’ services provided a wealth of support. And somewhere in the mix, she found an inner well of strength that led her to believe she had what was needed to fight for her daughter until she was ready to let go. With the court process all but complete, closure, Charrie admits, may be soon. Although she’s not sure what it will look like. She still writes to her daughter every night, and tells of her day’s events and feelings. “I don’t know how long I’ll do that for,” she said. “Maybe one day I’ll just stop, but for now I’ll keep going, it makes me feel good.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Verdict causes flood of emotions Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A mix of cries rang out in a Kelowna courtroom Sunday when the teenage girl accused of the 2010 killing of Ashlee Hyatt was found guilty of manslaughter. Sitting in the prisoner’s box as the jury read the verdict, the 18-yearold newly convicted killer shook with silent sobs after a jury came back with their verdict. Her family, who had been gathered behind her, wept freely. Simultaneously, cries rang out from the other side of the courtroom as Hyatt’s friends and family expressed their relief. It was a dramatic end to a three-week trial that put the victims, accused as well as the teens and adults at the fatal Peachland party, under intense scrutiny. Crown counsel assembled a number of witnesses to say that the accused escalated a teenage drama by fatally wounding the 16-year-old Hyatt on June 2, 2010, after a night of
Ashlee Hyatt four-by-fouring, arguing and drinking. Defence lawyer Donna Turko, however, saw a different scenario. She argued that her client was a victim of a conspiracy, merely a bystander to Hyatt’s death and that the party host and her sister were more viable candidates for the crime. One, she said, behaved in a dubious manner in the moments after Hyatt died, while the other had something to prove. Sam Waller, a friend of Hyatt along with many of the teens involved in the trial and had been in attendance daily for the court proceedings, said

that it was difficult to see the process unfold, and the people she’s close to be maligned. “They’re fabulous people. They were rocks being used to break down what the accused did. They’re amazing people,” she said. She also said that the manslaughter verdict would provide the first step toward the closure the teens have been looking for since Hyatt was killed. It was a sentiment echoed by Hyatt’s mother, Charrie. “I can get to sleep tonight,” she said. “Ashlee got justice. I’d like to see (the accused) do jail time…and be accountable
for what she did.” How much jail time, however, will rest largely on whether the teen, who was a minor when the stabbing occurred, will be sentenced as an adult or a teen. Crown counsel Murray Kaay has requested a psychological assessment, and that will inform that decision. The maximum prison sentence for manslaughter under the Youth Criminal Justice Act is three years. If she’s sentenced as an adult, the maximum is bumped up to life. That decision should be made in the new year. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Council endorses Ellis truck traffic diversion Traffic from A1
“It is understood that as the downtown develops and the residential population and pedestrian traffic increases along this corridor, the truck route will conflict with the changing urban land use in this part of the downtown,” said Brian Oliveira, a city engineering traffic technician. “In February 2012, city council endorsed the downtown plan. The plan focuses on making downtown Kelowna unique, thriving, prosperous and livable. Some of the priorities outlined in the action plan include making downtown more pedestrian-friendly, increasing activity downtown, and increasing the number of residents in a compact, livable, mixed-use urban setting. The desire to remove trucks from Ellis Street was noted by many participants of the downtown urban design charette held in the summer of 2012.” A number of councillors also shared that desire. “I think it’s time and I think we have to do whatever upgrades are needed on Gordon, but a major truck route in your arts, entertainment and residential area doesn’t make any sense,” said Coun. Andre Blanleil. Coun. Robert Hobson agreed. “It’s an appropriate time to move it out of downtown,” he said. “We’re creating a great urban centre…if you want people to live there, then you don’t want big trucks rumbling through there—that’s kind of scary.” The plan is not without hitches, however. Neighbourhood groups as well as the ministry of transportation will have a chance to weigh in on the changes before they’re set in asphalt. Some concerns that are expected to emerge is whether or not heavy truck traffic turning onto the new route a few blocks later will bung up traffic coming off the bridge, and whether there will be an intolerable amount of heavy truck traffic displaced surrounding residential areas. The soonest the truck route closure could occur is next year.

Governments join fiscal forces to bring sewer service to 1,500 homes Barry Gerding EDITOR
The first major infrastructure initiative taken on by the fledgling District of West Kelowna in 2008 just months after inauguration as a municipality, came to completion on Friday. Politicians gathered on the foot of Boucherie Road near Highway 97 to cut the ceremonial ribbon to mark the completion of West Kelowna’s multiphase Sewer Servicing Strategy. The $11.1-million infrastructure project, which allows nearly 1,500 residents to connect to the municipally-owned sewer service, was a project that involved cooperation at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. Without that support, for homeowners to hook up to sewer from what in many cases was failing septic fields, would have cost $18,500 per house-
hold. With the support of government funding, that cost was reduced to $8,400. “This is pretty serious stuff when you consider what people were going through with the failed septic fields,â€? said West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. “I heard many compelling stories about what people were dealing with‌not having visitors over, unable to do their laundry, afraid to flush the toilet. “It was the first major project our then new municipality took on and I’m happy to say today that it has been successfully concluded.â€? Findlater said the municipality and homeowners living within the various Glenrosa, Boucherie and Lakeview Heights service areas would not have been able to afford sewer service extensions if it wasn’t for two grants —one announced March 2009 and the other Febru-

Marketing media content to online consumer audience Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
A local company looking to take the concept of a newswire service and open it up to the public has won Accelerate Okanagan’s Jump Start Challenge contest and will pitch its product to large American investors, leveraging the knowledge of the mentors available in the business incubator. Media Cooler Innovations, founded by former Kelowna Daily Courier publisher Alison Yesilcimen and her partner Bryce Cutt, is a technology company that partners with media companies to allow businesses an avenue to purchase stories and photography produced by journalists for use in newsletters, presentations, websites or other social media marketing platforms. “It’s connecting the publisher’s valuable content to businesses that see the value in it from a marketing perspective,” said
JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS
MANY HEADS are better than one and AlisonYesilcimen (above right) and Bryce
Cutt of Media Cooler Innovations know it. Working with their mentor, Raghwa Gopal (above left), and a couple extra heads on their office walls, they won the Jump Start Challenge at Accelerate Okanagan to get their company pitch-ready for investors. Yesilcimen in interview from her office in the Accelerate Okanagan technology centre. Yesilcimen has an ambitious goal to change how the media operates by applying a direct value to editorial content and the work of reporters, photog-
raphers and feature writers. Rather than news sources drawing revenue primarily from advertising, or by selling the product directly to consumers for minimal profit as paid-subscription newspapers do, the Media Cooler model allows
every businesses to sell that content as part of their own marketing machine and leverage the value of journalism’s reputation to back a product. The company’s first client is the Toronto Star. The Toronto Star’s reporters write articles for the newspaper, which are then filed online and fed to Media Cooler to sell.
If, for example, a plastic surgeon finds an article on a surgery they are introducing and believes it might be useful to explain and promote his or her work, it’s available for purchase at $30 an article and the surgeon can then publish it on a website. His or her customers see that it was originally an article from the Toronto Star and the Star’s brand lends legitimacy to the surgeon’s claims if the Star’s reporters had found those claims to be true. And this has a positive impact on journalism as well. “I’m a big believer that if all of a sudden your editorial department is a revenue generator, resources get applied. That’s my big audacious goal is to have publishers really reinvest back into their editorial,” Yesilcimen explained. The so-called death of the newspaper industry is now so well documented bloggers have developed sideline careers and hobbies of counting the number of layoffs, particularly in small to mid-size city subscription newspapers
like the one Yesilcimen once ran. Yesilcimen sees a way that Media Cooler might stop that bleeding. Based out of a community where the economy is predominantly buoyed by small businesses, Media Cooler is also offering stretched small business owners a solution to the increased demand for marketing material to feed websites, blogs and Twitter. “I am actually a customer,” said Raghwa Gopal, the Venture Advisor who worked with Media Cooler over the course of the 12-week competition. Gopal’s daughter has a skincare business and he purchased an article for her website. The Jump Start Challenge is designed to attract promising technology companies to the area for an eight-week training program with mentors who have owned and operated successful technology companies. Gopal owned a software company focused on local government, which
he sold when after getting his software into every municipality in North America. Yesilcimen and Cutt are now off to Seattle to pitch before a major investor and then likely to California to do the same. The top 10 companies in the field of 22 awarded the right to pitch for the Jump Start Challenge all pitched before panels of investors locally. Some have started talks about investment, though Accelerate Okanagan marketing coordinator Fiona Campbell could not give specific details. Yesilcimen says her company is talking to another major media content provider and hopes to sign the company soon. All transactions are instantaneous, ordered through the website www. meidacooler.com, and paid upfront through PayPal. The content provider, currently just the Toronto Star Newspaper, and Media Cooler Innovations have a private profit-sharing arrangement. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

and relocation, Kelowna city council has decided not to proceed at this time with any boundary moves. As well, council directed staff to set aside the boundary adjustment discussion with Lake Country for now. “The City is not interested in expanding its boundaries for the sake of expanding,” said Mayor Walter Gray. “Certain conditions have changed since council first asked staff to review options. “Meanwhile, other work more closely aligned to council priorities will take precedence at this time.” Council decided it will adhere to its normal practice of only considering formal applications from individual property owners to adjust the city boundary. Gray said the analysis and information gathered during this exercise will be useful in the event of subsequent governance or incorporation studies where the city is invited to participate.

NEWS ▼ BUSINESS CONFERENCE
Shedding light on the pathway for entrepreneurs to follow Barry Gerding EDITOR
There are many great business ideas ready to germinate in the minds of entrepreneurial Central Okanagan residents. But how do you get that idea from a theory in your basement to a full fledged business proposition that you can earn a living at. An upcoming business conference is hoping to shed some light on that pathway from a dream to a reality. The inaugural Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurship Conference will take place Thursday and Friday, Nov. 22 and 23, at the Ramada Hotel & Conference Centre. The brainchild of
Joel Young, the Capital News columnist on entrepreneurship, the event is sponsored by the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. One of the seminar guest speakers will be Renee Wasylyk, president of Troika Developments in Kelowna. Since starting Troika Developments in 1998, Wasylyk has grown her company to include 75 employees working on projects throughout western Canada. She is a former Kelowna Business Excellence Award Young Entrepreneur winner and a Kelowna Woman of the Year finalist in 2008. Wasylyk says conferences like the one organized by the OVES can
be a great resource for networking, hearing about ideas that might be helpful to a prospective entrepreneur and reinforce the mindset that you are not alone. She says the conference will help showcase the unique entrepreneurial spirit that exists in the Okanagan, where many people move here and create their own jobs by starting up a business idea. “I think the networking, camaraderie and collaboration among business people in the Okanagan is very strong and very unique,” Wasylyk said. “This type of (conference) introduces you to people who have gone before you and done it.” She admits it can be
difficult for business owner running small enterprises to take the time to attend a conference like this, but she says that alone makes it all that much more important to try and participate. “If you’re in that situation, perhaps it’s all that much more important to try and attend,” she said. “You will hear about some great ideas that can put the grease to the wheels of your own ideas and see them really take off. “You just never know where the next million dollar business idea is going to come from.” Others joining Wasylyk as guest speakers are Barry Lapointe, president of Flightcraft; local lawyers Anthony Ed-
wards and Christy Lovig; Kyleen Myrah, professor with the Okanagan School of Business; Gladys Fraser, Scotiabank branch manager in Kelowna; Derek Strong, director and district manager of RoyNat Capital in

Take time to recycle old Christmas lights If you’re putting up new LED lights this year, don’t throw your old light strings in the garbage. Recycle them by taking them to a recycling depot. “Last year’s Christmas light recycling program alone collected over 10 1/2 tonnes of light strings, enough to fill a 53-foot semi,” said Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitator with the regional district. “That’s a huge amount of material that was repurposed into new product, instead of taking up space in our landfill.” Stewart adds you don’t have to remove the bulbs from the strings before recycling, and power cords are also accepted as part of the program. “Recycling your old light strings instead of tossing them out is simple good sense, environmentally and financially. By upgrading your lights, you’ll be saving energy and money on your electricity bill, as LED (light emitting diode) lights use

Rethink severance decision
P
remier Christy Clark has questioned a decision made in secret by an all-party committee to extend $127,000 in severance pay to MLAs who are recalled by voters. And so she should. The decision was made in February 2011, at a time when recall campaigns were targeting B.C. Liberal MLAs over the imposition of the harmonized sales tax. It was belatedly disclosed in minutes from the Legislative Assembly Management Committee, which began public dis-
closure of its proceedings this fall after a critical report from B.C. Auditor General John Doyle. The severance amount equals 15 months of an MLA’s base salary, which was frozen at $101,859 a year in 2010, when the B.C. government imposed a two-year freeze on public service salaries. Severance has been available to MLAs defeated in elections since 2007, and also to those who retire at election time before reaching six years in office, when they becoming eligible

for a lucrative pension. Clark said: “I think a lot of people in a tough economy would look at that and say they don’t get it, and I am one of those people,” Clark said. Good for her, now do something about it. Barisoff defended the decision, telling reporters that MLAs who are recalled because of cabinet decisions rather than personal misconduct deserve severance so they can make the transition to another job. It can be difficult for defeated MLAs to find work, he said.
What Barisoff doesn’t seem to understand that not getting re-elected is like your employer letting you go and, okay, maybe an argument can be made for severance, albeit a weak one. Being the subject of a successful recall, whether because of a cabinet decision or not, is akin to being fired with cause. Ask any employer, which in this case is the British Columbia taxpayer, whether being fired should result in severance. The answer would be a resounding “no.”

Reality check teen suicide: An even more horrendous issue
I
f you find Premier Christy Clark’s campaign against teen bullying to be superficial or even self-serving, I’ve got news for you. It’s potentially worse than that. With the greatest respect to the family of Amanda Todd, her tragic case isn’t representative of teen suicide any more than it is typical of high-school bullying. A clearer and more disturbing picture emerges from the latest report of B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. It’s a survey of 89 child protection cases from 2007 to 2010, where 15 kids killed themselves and the
rest inflicted serious self-injury, in some cases repeatedly. The word “bully” does not appear in the report. It speaks of domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse, addiction and runaways targeted by street predators. Three quarters of the kids were removed from their homes to protect them from their parents. More than half are aboriginal. Its key conclusion is that shifting traumatized and mentally ill teens
from institutional care to foster homes isn’t working. Earnest but inadequately trained foster parents and social workers can’t cope with kids who need Tom diagnosis, treatment Fletcher and supervision. Without that, kids are shuffled through foster homes an average of a dozen times in three years, with little attachment to home or school. Some were violent, no surprise given their formative years. I asked Turpel-Lafond
VICTORIA VIEWS
about the B.C. government’s recent focus on bullying. She said it’s worthwhile and there are parallels between Amanda’s case and more common teen suicides. One is isolation at moments of crisis. “Say you’re a middle-class parent with a child who hasn’t come out of their bedroom in six months, or you have a boy in foster care who’s in his 14th home,” she said. “They both want to kill themselves, so what do you do?” Ideally, you intervene and get them to a child psychologist. Parents or guardians who can’t afford $150 an hour can wait months for the Ministry
V n
of Children and Family Development j to arrange it. And in the meantime, h our supposedly family-based foster t care system sends them to school. t “I’m really worried about how f [school-based anti-bullying programs] will affect the most vulnerable m kids, because you start anonymously a reporting someone as being a bully,” p a Turpel-Lafond said. n “Yeah, we know they’re in the c youth justice system. We know they’re troubled. By the way, they’ve p been sexually and physically abused, p m

LETTERS ▼ REGIONAL DISTRICT
Okanagan East incorporation questioned To the editor: I am writing to you out of concern about regional director Patty Hanson’s actions with regard to the meetings she has organized with the residents of RDCO East rural area. I attended the meeting in Ellison and was shocked at the derogatory things she spoke of publicly about the board process and other members of the board. We had been invited to this meeting under the pretense of finding out information about joining the City of Kelowna. Of course, since the boundary study is not completed there is really no information available yet. Then Hanson proceed to ‘drop the bomb’ of incorporation on us. It was
the first I had heard of this, but apparently Hanson had been working on the idea for several months already. At this meeting, she repeatedly made statements that were untrue or not backed with any facts. I felt that the meeting was nothing more than a platform for her to promote her vision of incorporation and the development of Kelowna Mountain. I also attended the meeting in Joe Rich and invited another regional district board member to join me to see first-hand the information we were receiving from director Hanson. On several occasions this board member had to correct Hanson’s misinformation or answer questions Hanson was unable
to respond to. Fortunately, this board member’s presence kept the ‘board bashing’ to a minimum. The regional district is governed by the regional district board yet Hanson continues to have her own agenda, and defends this by saying she is the voice of the residents. That is certainly not true for this resident or many of my neighbours and friends in Joe Rich that I’ve spoken with. She has used her position to promote what appears to be her own personal vision. She has contacted the ministry and held these meetings against the advice of the board, and now she has also chosen to chair a referendum committee with her select chosen visionaries.
She and her select few put all this in place before bringing it forward to the attention of the majority of voters. There has been a website set up and a petition circulating. Be careful when this petition comes to you as your signature states you agree to spend upwards of $40,000 of your taxpayer money just for a study to be done. The only option to disagree is absence of signature. Therefore, when these petitions are submitted to the RDCO board and the provincial government, it does not include the voice of those ‘against’ this wasteful spending of our tax dollars.

Where is the support for Okanagan East to go it alone? Open letter to the Regional District of Central Okanagan board of director: I am disturbed, upset, frustrated and angered by what is going on. Through innuendo, half truths, convenient deletions and occasional outright lies, the Electoral Area East director Patty Hanson is attempting to lead her constituents down the proverbial “garden path.” I attended her meeting at the Joe Rich Community Hall on the evening of Nov. 14. While I am the elected president of the Joe Rich Rate Payer’s and Tenant’s Society (the JRRATS), I would like to be heard, on this particular occasion, simply as a concerned citizen, voter and Joe Rich community resident.
I have listened to the rhetoric to date. When I read what was written on Castanet on Nov. 14— titled “Welcome to East Kelowna?” and “Okanagan East going it alone?”—I was dumb-struck, in shock, frothing at the mouth and livid. How can any elected official get away with saying things like that? I have spoken with numerous residents of Joe Rich and Ellison, and other than those few who are on “her” committee, I have yet to hear from anyone who supports or agrees with her position regarding incorporation. All of those same people are concerned with the contradictions, lack of information and answers, and the push. Everybody has problems and
frustrations with their local, provincial and federal governments at times, but does that mean we go French Canadian about it? Everybody, especially myself, questions why it is possible for our “elected” representative to have abundant time and energy to pursue what is quite apparently her own personal agenda and yet their constituents have great difficulty simply getting a response to a telephone call or email, or an actual answer to anything. And we all wonder just what the Okanagan Mountain development has to do with all of this. Seriously, I mean at least two of “her” committee members are paid employees of the developer. So the question arises, who, really, is behind this idea and the push for it?

Very little safety net for kids in care Fletcher from A10 jumped through 30 foster homes and now we want to label them again?” This is not to suggest that the existing B.C. effort isn’t substantial. The ministry reports that there are 2,221 front-line staff positions, of which 219 are currently vacant. It’s notoriously difficult to recruit, train and keep child protection workers, especially in remote communities. Turpel-Lafond says her latest figures show the child and youth men-
tal health service has 476 staff, with 21 vacancies and a government-wide hiring freeze. And many of those are doing double duty as community service managers. Those managers don’t even have reliable data on case loads, she said. They just know they’re overwhelmed and many of the kids aren’t being reached. This is not about political blame. I can trace this problem back to when Grace McCarthy was children’s minister and the NDP did no better. I’ve learned a bit about
Riverview and Tranquille, asylums that were closed because of a modern belief that they were inhumane. At least they offered safety and medical care to even the most damaged people. Right now our enlightened, progressive society can’t even help most of the kids we know are at high risk. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
The ugly question also arises: Has remuneration been paid, is it being paid or will it be paid if the idea and push is successful? Just be aware that Mrs. Hanson does not speak for me, nor do I believe she represents my best interests as a Joe Rich resident, taxpayer and constituent. That also goes for the great many Joe Rich residences that I have the pleasure of regularly interacting with. I firmly and solidly do not believe she has any significant amount of support in this matter from Joe Rich, Ellison, South Slopes, South Mission or June Springs John B. Collinson, Joe Rich

Ten year deal with teachers: Believe in the inconceivable

hen B.C.’s government recently suggested that its objective is a 10-year collective agreement with unionized teachers, many scoffed at that prospect. After all, the recent bargaining relationship between government and teachers has been fractious, to say the least. Collective bargaining in the public school teachers’ context has been acri-

not speaking (or shouting, as the case may be) the same language. So, a 10-year collective agreement simply seems inconceivable. But, things have a tendency to be inconceivable right up until the moment when they occur (and then we look back and wonder why we didn’t see that coming). A few weeks ago, it was inconceivable that an east coast storm would

The examples are, of course, endless. So, the starting point in conceiving of labour peace in this province’s relationship with public school teachers may simply lay in believing it could happen. Part of the problem with the repeated teachers’ disputes is that neither party may really be motivated to bargain. Because the employer is, effectively, the provincial government and because the government has the ultimate legislative authority up its sleeve, it knows it need not compromise its position. And because the union knows the government will ultimately play that trump card, it has little motivation to compromise its own stance. Because this dynamic is unlikely to change if the system of collective bargaining doesn’t change, the answer is for the parties to voluntarily construct a new system.

The Capri Rotary Club’s recent Harvest Feast was another successful fundraiser thanks to donations and contribution of auction items from the local business community, says club president Brian Street. “Thanks to these donations, we are able to continue supporting various local projects. One of our main community projects is the Arion Therapeutic Riding Stable, which provides a proven therapeutic program for challenged individuals, many of them children,” Street said. We would also like to thank various other donors of services who helped us manage our costs. They know who they are,” he added. “Finally, we would like to thank the community members who bought tickets for the dinner and bid on auction items. It is your generosity that lets Rotary do its work.”

would have to give up the right to lock out. It may sound like a pipe dream, but it’s happened before—in 2007, the B.C. Ferry and Marine Workers Union relinquished the right to engage in strikes and the parties submitted to binding arbitration on hotly disputed issues. B.C.’s government deserves, in my view, kudos for thinking outside the box on the topic of collective bargaining with teachers. But, why settle for 10 years of labour peace when there’s a system on their doorstep which could permanently eliminate strikes and lockouts?

The key element of a renewed bargaining structure would be a final and binding arbitration process to break stalemates. The parties would still enjoy a (time-limited) window in which to settle a collective agreement themselves. But, if a collective agreement was not attained during the bargaining window, the issues would automatically be submitted to binding arbitration. The key, to me, is an arbitration process in which the arbitrator selects one party’s position or the other, not a compromise between the two. This would motivate each party to advance a moderate, rather than extreme, position. The teachers’ union would, of course, have to relinquish the right to strike and the government

A few months ago, it was inconceivable that one of sport’s greatest champions and inspirational symbols, Lance Armstrong, would be demonstrated to be one of its greatest cheats. And then he was. A year ago, it was inconceivable that the National Hockey League would march itself back into the situation of perhaps losing another full season of hockey. And now it may happen (stay tuned for how this one turns out). A decade ago, it seemed inconceivable that a terrorist group could successfully strike at America’s heart and reduce two of capitalism’s icons to a pile of ashes, killing thousands in the process. And then they did just that.

Difficult economic times don’t stop entrepreneurial thinking D
uring tough economic times, innovation and creativity within the entrepreneurial process don’t take a vacation. True entrepreneurs are able to locate opportunities that others requiring safety and security would never consider. The flipside of this is that during periods of economic vitality, money can often hide problems and sometimes even obscure legitimate entrepreneurial opportunities. On Oct. 30, the Okanogan Valley Entrepreneurs Society hosted yet another of its monthly Town Hall Series sessions. As has been the format for our society program, an energetic and experienced panel was recruited, with a topic being the pursuit pursuing self-employment, entrepreneurship and the pros and cons of beginning your own venture. Discussion about the squalities inherent in entrepreneurs—desire, passion, positivity, commitment, patience and pereseverance—all appear to -dovetail nicely in the exchange with each Town -Hall panel member and the audience. There was an amazing reservoir of real life experiences and knowledge yrepresented by the panel nmembers of the panel. o It is with my reflection on the joy of this monthly exchange that led me this week to share my thoughts about “the entrepreneurial option” in your life. By definition, entrepreneurship not only in-
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young volves uncertainty, innovation and creativity, and managerial competencies, but also a commitment to the strategic development, hopefully, of a growth-destined venture. Although uncertainty, for example, might cause many to freeze, it can be used to your benefit. Uncertain situations are chock full of potentially new opportunities. For example, I have written recently of the Canadian and American studies that highlight that entrepreneurship does flourish in tough economic times. But your task as a budding entrepreneur is to continuously identify high-potential venture opportunities and reach to exploit such opportunities with speed and confidence. So uncertainty can often become your ally, not your enemy. I would suggest to each of you that successful entrepreneurship is as much an art form as it is an economic activity. We would tend to express ourselves in an instrumental medium of sorts and likened to creative and innovative inventors and architects, we strive to create practical but unique outcomes to our entrepreneurial endeavours. So, just as one does
not become a composer without the knowledge of music, one does not become a genuine entrepreneur without some knowledge of the venture process itself. The theory here involves two main ingredients. First, previsualizing a desired outcome, identifying that product or service for the marketplace to fill a perceived need. Second, impressing one’s creative vision upon a chosen and comfortable medium by accessing necessary resources and allocating them toward the successful launch of your entrepreneurial venture. Entrepreneurship is a multi-faceted phenomenon involving notably entrepreneurial vision, entrepreneurial strategy, entrepreneurial tools and talents, and the venture as the medium of creative expression within an environment which makes the resources available to get the job done successfully and profitably. It is no secret to those of us within the world of the entrepreneur, nor should it be to many of you reading this column on a regular basis, that entrepreneurship is the ultimate expression of innovation and creativity. Entrepreneurs serve as “agents of change,” create innovative ideas for venture enterprises and help such ventures grow and
prosper. In essence, this perspective of the entrepreneur suggests that you or I have the insight and intuition to recognize an opportunity for us to establish products, services and even, industries. This ability to see into the future around us, to dream of possibilities and to dare to act is that series of attributes that drive entrepreneurs to turn dreams into reality. The process is clear my friends—entrepreneurs initiate entrepreneurial ventures. The debate does continue over the years about entrepreneurial behaviour and this singular act of volition which has genuinely become so vital to our region, province and nation’s economic vitality. My comments this week have attempted to light a candle against the darkness for both practitioners and non-practitioners alike within the entrepreneurial sphere. Yes, innovation and creativity is necessary for the true success of a venture. But, when I ask you to consider entrepreneurship as an option in your life, I must suggest that to fully light up the darkness, we must break down barriers and embrace the benefits of entrepreneurship and begin the process rigorously through teaching its elements to everyone via a cultural backdrop.

PARENTING Help keep others warm this winter The Okanagan branch of the Centre for Inquiry is gearing up for its second “Good Without God” winter clothing drive. They will be collecting donations of winter clothing, plus food and toiletry items from all over Kelowna. Volunteers will then deliver the donations to Inn From the Cold and to the Boys & Girls Club. Last year, they collected multiple car loads of donations to help the needy in Kelowna. They hope to repeat that success this year. The Centre for Inquiry is a registered charity that promotes reason, science and secularism — as well as humanist values, such as helping fellow human beings in need. CFI-Okanagan’s assistant branch leader, Zena Ryder, says, “Belief in God is completely irrelevant to knowing that it’s right to help other people. Atheists can be good people, just as Christians and other religious believers can be. This clothing drive is just one way that we demonstrate that.” If you would like to donate warm clothing, food or toiletry items, or if you have any questions please contact Zena at zryder@cficanada.ca or (250) 8681473. Delivery to Inn From the Cold and the Boys & Girls Club will be on 23rd November. Visit cfiokanagan.ca for more information about CFI-Okanagan.

Parenthood is always harder than anyone thinks it will be. Children learn by trying and then trying again. So do parents. Believe that you can be a good parent to your children. When you like yourself, it is easier for you to teach your children to like and trust themselves. To grow emotionally children need to feel … Safe. They need to know that nothing will hurt them ... Secure. They need to know that when they need care or comfort, they will get it ... Loved. They need to be told and shown that they are loved and are important to someone. When children feel safe, secure and loved, they can become happy, independent, loved people.

11 Steps to Being a Better Parent 1. Be a good role model- Children do as you do. You can model respect, politeness, honesty, compassion, good choices, or any other behaviour or attitude that you want them to adopt. 2. Be clear in what you want them to do. Make sure that you have their attention before telling them what you want to happen. Check that they understand, and if not, try explaining again but use different words to describe it. 3. Try not to make too many rules. Explain the rules clearly and stick to them once they are made. 4. Encourage and praise good behaviour every time you see it. Misbehaviour usually gets more of our attention than good behaviour. Take the time to notice and praise good behaviour to encourage more good behaviour. 5. Separate the child from the behaviour. You love your children but you do not always love their behaviour. Focus on the behaviour rather than the qualities of the child. For example: instead of “you are a bad boy” try “I don’t like this mess in the living room” 6. When correcting a behaviour or making a request, explain the reason for it. When they know the

at the same time that is a bad combination. Before you react count to 10, take a deep breath, and think about what you are going to say. Keep your voice down; children ignore yelling if all they hear is yelling. Make requests in a normal tone of voice and use words, not volume, to get your point across. When yelling is used only for emergency situations, like chasing a ball into busy traffic, they will take notice. 8 Give chances to choose but not wide-open choice. Setting up a choice between two options that are acceptable to you is more likely to get you what you want instead of a refusal. 9. Expect what is reasonable. Set your expectations at a level that is consistent with the child’s age and stage of development. Sometimes it looks like a child is misbehaving, when in reality she/he isn’t able to meet our expectations. Children are impulsive, they cannot understand complex ideas because they have an inconsistent memory and attention span. They need your help to stay on track and work along side them so that they can learn. It can be very reassuring to spend a half a day now and then at your child’s daycare or volunteer in the Cub group, and see other kids act the same way as yours does. 10. Take some time with your children and get to know them. Children may act out to get your attention: if misbehaviour is the only thing that gets attention, expect misbehaviour to continue. Life is busy and we have many demands. So we sometimes need to set aside time to play, talk of just hang out. 11. Take a break. Parenting is hard work and you need time for yourself. Make time to be with your friends, read a book or just relax

(mast cells), quercetin can aid in the reduction of swelling and redness in your airways caused by histamine. The high levels of various flavonoids in apples also contribute to their cardiovascular benefits by acting as antioxidants. These flavonoids, with their antioxidant action, prevent the build up of oxidized lipids causing plaques in your vessels, as well as, aids in blood sugar regulation, both of which contribute to a reduction in heart disease. Apples have various health benefits and research shows that eating apples can reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, asthma and type 2 diabetes. So, I can’t help thinking that maybe there is some truth to the old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away...” Dr. Emily Pratt is a naturopathic physician in Kelowna. 778-478-0548 www.drpratt.ca

n spite of all the medications, supplements, stress-reducing techniques and lifestyle changes, some of your symptoms still impose themselves on your life. During those times, little things can make a big difference. Keeping certain little things close at hand can help you manage your fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or ME/CFS) symptoms and improve your quality of life. The following is a list of simple things that can help you get through the day (or night) and don’t require a prescription.
While muscle creams (like Tiger Balm and Aspercreme) don’t do much against FMS pain, they can provide relief from muscles aches that can contribute to your overall pain level and make it hard to get comfortable or fall asleep.

RICE BAG
A rice bag is uncooked rice inside a little pillow, usually made of flannel or some fabric that feels nice against your skin. You heat it in the microwave for a couple minutes and it releases a soothing, slightly moist heat. It’s a great alternative to a heating pad because it gradually cools off and won’t start a fire, so you can use it to help you sleep.

EXERCISE
Studies show that walking, stretching, and strength training all help control fibromyalgia pain and muscle tenBobbi derness. Exercise just three times a Kittle week improves life on many levels. Exercise can relieve fatigue and depression, as well as help people feel better about themselves, more in charge of their lives. Water exercise is the easiest workout for people with fibromyalgia pain. If you can’t exercise because of obesity, water therapy is a good place to start. Warm water can be very comforting. The exercise gets blood flow to muscles and tendons. And if you’re in the water, your joints are not being stressed during exercise. Also, water offers resistance, which helps muscles get stronger. The natural buoyancy of water helps you move—so you can do exercises that would otherwise be painful. Studies indicate that water aerobics improves quality of life for women with fibromyalgia pain in the longterm. In one 12-week study, women who exercised in warm water for 60 minutes, three times a week reported improved physical and mental well-being. They also had less fibromyalgia pain and more vitality. As for their state of mind, they reported feeling less depressed, and more sociable.

Skin picking a unique disorder
D
o you often have an irresistible urge to pick at your skin? If you’ve got a small bump or bit of dry skin, do you leave it alone or are you someone who just can’t help but obsessively pick at it? If you can’t stop picking and it’s interfering with your life, you may have skin picking disorder. Excessive skin picking has been discussed in medical literature for more than a century, but it is just now being given consideration as a psychiatric condition in discussions for the new diagnostic manual. In the past it has often been thought of as a variant of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but now it seems it may be something quite separate. Individuals with skin picking disorder—repeatedly pick at their skin until it bleeds; have likely attempted to reduce or stop picking more than once, and are distressed by the

Paul Latimer behaviour. People with this condition often spend several hours every day picking at their skin. Situations that trigger picking are different for every person but can include stress, anxiety, boredom, fatigue or anger. Picking can also be triggered by the feel or

look of the skin. Often, the individual doesn’t notice picking at first, but becomes aware of it when the spot begins to bleed or when someone else notices the behaviour. Although it can range in severity, the picking can cause social embarrassment and interruption to work and life obligations as well as tissue damage, scarring and sometimes serious infection. They may not want to leave the house because of embarrassment about their appearance. Skin picking disorder can begin at any time in life, but looks the same in all age groups and across cultures. It affects between 1.4 and 5.4 per cent of people. It is typically a chronic lifelong issue that may wax and wane in its severity, but generally changes little over time. It is quite rare for individuals with skin picking issues to seek treatment. It is estimated that less

than 20 per cent of those with this condition seek help. Although it hasn’t been named as a specific disorder in the past, there are some viable treatment options that can be quite helpful for those struggling with the urge to pick. As with many bad habits or even other more serious grooming disorders such as the hair pulling of trichotillomania, cognitive behaviour therapy can be helpful in decreasing skin picking. Some medication studies have also been done to examine pharmacological help for those with skin picking issues. Serotonin reuptake inhibitors have had mixed results to date. The research data base for treatment of any type is quite slim. Much more research is needed into the treatment of this disorder. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials.

Irish takes bite out of Bears Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
As was the case all season, the Mt. Boucherie Bears played hard to the final whistle. But on Saturday afternoon it wasn’t quite enough as the Vancouver College Fighting Irish took down the Bears 4217 in B.C. high school football quarterfinal playoff action. Boucherie was unable to contain Irish running back Liam Mahara who rushed for more than 300 yards on the CNC turf, as the Bears were forced to play catch-up from the early stages of the opening quarter. “It took our offense
a half to get going and it took our defense a half to get going, and by that time it was too late,” said Bears’ coach Mike Godwin. “We had our chances but made some mistakes, missed some assignments and against a team like that, little things cost you.” Bears’ senior Peter Briker finished off his high school career with a memorable effort, returning a kick off 80 yards for a touchdown. Spencer Humes scored Boucherie’s other major in the fourth quarter with the game already out of reach. As much as the defeat was a disappointing end, it was a season like no other
for the Bears who finished first in the Okanagan AAA Conference with a 6-0 record. Godwin said the football program at Boucherie continues to progress. “It’s definitely a step in the right direction,” Godwin said. “There’s still work ahead of us, but it’s coming. The guys are already back in the weight room getting ready for next season.” • In junior varsity playoff action Saturday at CNC, Mt. Douglas ended the Kelowna Owls’ season with a 38-14 victory. On Thursday, the Mt. Boucherie Bears JV squad went down to defeat to St. Thomas More 34-7.

SKIP JIM COTTER calls to his sweepers during the Rogers Masters of Curling on Sunday in Brantford.
Cotter rink continue on a roll Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Based on their play over the last two weekends, it wouldn’t be a stretch to call Jim Cotter and his Vernon/ Kelowna foursome one of the hottest curling rinks in Canada. Cotter’s team made it to the final of the Rogers Masters of Curling Grand Slam event on Sunday in Brantford, Ont., before losing 7-5 to Edmonton’s Kevin Koe. Cotter, new third Jason Gunnlaugson, second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, picked up $11,000 for their efforts. After a shaky 0-2 start, Cotter and Co. reeled off six straight wins in Brantford, including a tiebreaker to qualify for the playoffs. Cotter then downed Manitoba’s Mike McEwen and Steve Laycock of Saskatchewan to earn a spot in the final. “It was a really good event for us,” said Cotter. “We were thrilled to be in that position with a chance to win, especially after going 0-2 to start. The guys have been playing well, so it’s been a couple of pretty good weeks for us.” Just a week earlier, Cotter’s team reached the semifinals of an event in Swan River, Manitoba and picked up $6,500 for its efforts. The two-time defending B.C. men’s champs, the Cotter rink underwent one significant change in the off-season with departure of third Kevin Folk who is
pursuing a career in law enforcement in Calgary. Jason Gunnlaugson, 28, who moved to Vernon from Winnipeg this year has turned out to be a good fit for the Cotter team. “We lost a really good player in Kevin and it’s hard to replace that,” said Cotter. “But things are working out. Jason is a great player, a young guy who is full of energy and enthusiasm. Tyrel is just playing phenomenal, and Rick and I have playing together for 10 years, so it’s a really good group we have.” With his latest results, Cotter has moved up to ninth spot on the World Curling Tour money list, and has also made significant jumps on both the order of merit and the Canadian Team Ranking System lists. The CTRS is used to determine which rinks will compete in next year’s pre-trials for the Olympics, one of Cotter’s longer-term goals. In the more immediate future, the Cotter crew is looking forward to playing at home as Kelowna plays host to the next Grand Slam event, the Canadian Open from Dec. 12 to 16. Eighteen of Canada’s best rinks will pursue $100,000 in prize money. “We’re extremely excited about that,” Cotter said. “Having events like this at home are few and far between, so we’ll be working hard to be ready for that.” Cotter will defend the B.C. men’s curling championship Feb. 5 to 10 in Parksville.

Warriors split pair at LePage Undermanned due to injuries and illness, the Prince George Spruce Kings mustered only 17 shots on goal against the West Kelowna Warriors on Saturday night. In the end, it was enough for the visitors as the Spruce Kings knocked off the Warriors 4-3 in BCHL action at Royal LePage Place. Jeremiah Luedtke
broke a 3-3 tie late in the third period, beating Warriors netminder Garrett Rockafellow for the game winner. “Four goals on 17 shots, it’s not hard to figure out what went wrong,” said Warriors’ coach and GM Rylan Ferster. Marcus Basara tallied twice for the Warriors and added an assist, while Josh Monk scored on a
third-period power play. Other than Monk’s marker, Ferster wasn’t pleased with the effort from the Warriors’ power play. “I think guys should listen and do what they are told and maybe we would have some success,” Ferster said. The setback ended the Warriors’ modest threegame unbeaten streak.
On Friday, the Warriors slipped past the visiting Merritt Centennials 3-2. Marcus Basara’s sec-F ond goal of the night with 1:50 to play was the game winner. This weekend, the Warriors (10-6-1-5) will play a home-and-home set with the Coquitlam Express, meeting Friday on the Lower Mainland and Saturday at LePage.
Rocket forwards duo set for return Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
With the return to health of two veteran forwards this week, competition for ice time with the Kelowna Rockets just got that much stiffer. Over-age winger J.T. Barnett is back after missing the last 21 games with a lower body injury, while Carter Rigby has returned from an 18-game absence due to a shoulder injury. The Rockets now have four extra forwards on the roster. “Quite a few guys have played pretty well for us, so it’s going to be difficult having to take certain guys out,” said
J.T. Barnett
Carter Rigby
Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “But it’s a good problem to have. It’s going to create some good competition and guys are going to have to work to stay in the lineup.” Barnett and Rigby are set to rejoin the Rockets this weekend as Kelowna plays host to a pair of
Eastern Division opponents. The Regina Pats will visit Prospera Place on Friday, while ex-Rocket Shane McColgan and the Saskatoon Blades come calling on Saturday. The Rockets (12-81-1), who have won six straight games at Prospera, will be trying to re-
bound from a pair of losses over the weekend in Kennewick, Wash. Despite outplaying and outshooting (87-47) the Tri-City Americans, the Rockets fell short both Friday and Saturday, losing each time by a 3-2 score. “I felt like their goaltender (Eric Comrie) was the difference,” said Huska. “Overall I was pleased with our effort, I thought we controlled a lot of the play. “On the other hand, you can’t let a goalie beat you like that on back-toback nights. It’s frustrating, so we need to find ways to make things more difficult on opposing goalies.”
Ok Rockets take 3 of 4 points from Canadians The Okanagan Rockets closed out a seven-game B.C. Major Midget League home stand earning three of a possible four points against the visiting Greater Vancouver Canadians. After settling for a tie Saturday at the Capital News Centre, the Rockets rebounded with a 3-1 victory Sunday. Michael McEachern and Dennon Leibel scored
the first two goals for the Rockets, then Cory Santoro added an insurance marker into the empty net with 12 seconds remaining in the game as the Okanagan squad closed the home stand with a 4-12 record. “I really liked our compete level this weekend,” said Rockets assistant coach Brady Mason. “We adapted to a tight checking, trap-style game
this weekend, but we worked hard to find space and produce opportunities. It’s nice to get the three points and now we can get to work on getting ready for the (Vancouver) Giants.” On Saturday, Glenn Gadwin scored with just 55 seconds remaining in the third period to earn a 3-3 tie for the Canadians. The Rockets got goals from captain Brendan
Wagner and defenceman Alex Gran. The win improves the Rockets overall record to 11-2-3, good for 25 points and sole possession of third place in the BCMML. The Rockets will be tested this weekend when they meet the first-place and unbeaten Vancouver Northwest Giants (15-01) for two games in Burnaby.

Owls 5th at B.C. field hockey
The eighth-ranked Kelowna Owls didn’t reach the medal podium but turned more than a few heads on the way to a fifth-place showing at the B.C. AAA high school girls field hockey championship. On Saturday in Coquitlam, the Owls defeated No. 5-ranked Argyle Pipers 3-2 in the 5th/6th place final. The game went to a shootout with Nav Bahia making three big saves, while Megan Johansen, Nady Majoor, and Maddy Swordy all scored goals for KSS. Swordy and Brook Mapstone scored goals in regulation time. While Saturday’s win was clearly significant for the Owls, Thursday’s playoff match against Handsworth could well be the most memorable effort by KSS all season. The Owls played stepfor-step with Handsworth, the No. 1 ranked team and defending champs, before losing a hard-fought decision 1-0. Brooke Map-
stone narrowly missed tying the game with a tip-in late in the second half. It was one of Handsworth’s closest calls as the Royals haven’t lost a game in two seasons. The Owls finished pool play with a 1-1-1 record. In their second playoff game, KSS defeated West Vancouver 1-0 on a goal by Swordy. Owls head coach Arnar Bernhardsson was impressed by his team’s effort at provincials. “We went into the provincials ranked eighth and came out fifth, which was due to the tremendous work rate and fitness that the team showed throughout the tournament,” said Bernhardsson. “The defence (Aly Weller, Rachel Stone, Madison Jarvis, Cassidy Collins, Julie Scott, Shayla Zarowny) played outstanding stopping provincial players dead in their tracks and clearing balls off the goal line along with the keepers Nav Bahia and Chloe Grayson who took care of
the goaltending duties and often keep us in games that otherwise would be lost. Key goals from the strikers and midfielders put games away and their tireless pressing and coming back to helpout made it one of the most memorable provincials. “A total team effort, I very proud of these young ladies.” Handsworth repeated as B.C. champs thanks to a 3-0 win over Cowichan.
It hasn’t taken long for the UBCO Okanagan Heat to establish themselves as a legitimate contender in Canada West women’s volleyball. In just their second season of CIS competition, the Heat have won six of their first eight matches and are just a game out of top spot in the conference. The hometown Heat swept the No. 6-ranked Manitoba Bisons over the weekend at UBCO, and have already equalled their win total (6-12) from the entire 2011-12 season. After winning in five sets Friday, the Heat completed the sweep on Saturday at The Furnace with a dominant 3-0 (25-10, 2520, 25-9) victory. “Easily our best showing all year,” Heat head coach Steve Manuel said of Saturday’s win. “That is as good of a performance as a team can put together. ” The numbers may not have shown it, but libero Lenai Schmidt was the key for the Heat as she surrendered just one service reception error while adding 18 digs. Katy Klomps continued to feast on CIS competition, tallying 12 kills on 15 attempts for an unparalleled .733 kill percentage, while Myrte Schön added 12 kills on 33 attempts. On Friday night, the Heat won a five-set thriller over the Bisons (25-22,

HEAT MEN
Unlike the women, the UBCO men’s struggles continue as they search elusive first win of the Canada West season. The Heat, still without the services all-star and fifth-year power hitter Nate Speijer, dropped a pair of home-court matches to the Manitoba Bisons over the weekend to slip to 0-8 in 2012-13. On Friday, the No. 4-ranked Bisons rolled the Heat in three sets (25-20, 25-8, 25-15). “It’s going to take quite a bit of execution and a lot of heart to compete with a team like that,” said Heat coach Greg Poitras. “We looked scared
and our team just didn’t have the courage to be really tough.” Outside hitter Greg Niemantsverdriet and sophomore Jon Russo were co-leaders for the Heat offense Friday night, each notching seven kills. On Saturday, a better effort by the Heat but another three-set loss (2519, 25-17, 25-23) to the Bisons. “We played with some heart and made some good plays,” Poitras said. Russo earned player of the game honours and was the top Heat attacker with 11 kills on the night. Speijer, whose attacking skills have been sorely missed, remains sidelined while recovering from an appendectomy. This weekend, the Heat travel to Edmonton for two matches with the Golden Bears..

Heat women earn second win The 1-2 backcourt punch of Sarah Allison and Emily Kanester boosted the UBC Okanagan Heat to their second win of the Canada West women’s basketball season Saturday in Prince George. Allison scored 24 points and Kanester added 22 as the Heat downed the UNBC Timberwolves 79-71 to earn a weekend split. The Heat (2-4) capitalized on their chances from the charity stripe with 26 points, including a 12-for12 effort from Kanester. An eight-point lead to begin the fourth quarter
was slowly erased when a 13-6 run by the Timberwolves in the fourth quarter tied the game with 2:17 left to play. However, a clutch three-pointer by junior guard Angela White at 1:19 put the Heat ahead to stay 74-69, and from there Allison shut the door on the ‘Wolves comeback from the free-throw line, converting 5-of-6 to ice the game. “Such a great win,” said UBCO assistant coach Marc Semeniuk. “Everyone contributed and it felt so good. It was a battle right to the end; the whole team never gave

was outscored 29-16 over the final 10 minutes as the T’Wolves swept the weekend set. “We didn’t guard well in the fourth quarter and had some costly mistakes down the stretch,” said head coach Pete Guarasci. “But the guys competed hard to try and earn the split.” Azi Fahandeg-Sadi scored 15 for the Heat, while Anwar Faza added 14. On Friday night, the Heat came up short at UNBC in an 85-70 loss. Anwar Faza led UBCO with 14 points, while Greet Gill had 11 and Goodwin, 10.

▼ PHYSIOTHERAPY
Joint stiffness may be related to osteoarthritis
Fabienne Moster
CONTRIBUTOR
Winter is just around the corner and with temperatures dropping, I often hear patients say that they feel pain and stiffness in their joints. This is just one of many symptoms that may be related to osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis, or OA, is a disorder where there is progressive destruction of cartilage and the formation of bone at affected joints. OA is a very common condition after 40 years of age and it may not always be symptomatic. In fact, osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of disability among adults. Aging is strongly associated with OA, however, it is important to know that aging itself does not cause OA, nor should individuals consider it to be a “normal” component of the aging process. Trauma or injury to a joint, repetitive micro-trauma, and obesity have all been shown to be risk factors for OA later in life. OA is more commonly prevalent in joints that are weight-bearing joints such as hips, knees, back and neck. OA can also affect the hands and unlike rheu-
matoid arthritis joint deformity is not common but the joints may appear thickened. Diagnosis for OA is usually made on a basis of signs and symptoms such as pain and swelling, loss of range of motion, morning stiffness in the joint or stiffness after not moving, and crepitis (creaking of the joint). X-rays can also help diagnose OA. They will often show a loss of joint space or bone spurs. Treatment for OA is targeted at reducing and controlling pain, improving physical functioning, preventing disability, and enhancing quality of life. Physical therapy is a great non-surgical option in order to achieve some of these goals. Research has shown that physical therapy treatments that empower individuals to actively self manage the disease have been better than any other single non-surgical treatment on its own. Often individuals with OA will stop or decrease their exercise frequency due to joint pain. This can create a vicious cycle because decreasing movement/exercise can weaken muscle around the joints as well as increase body weight, which can both create more force on the joint
and more pain. The take-home message is to stay active. Water exercise programs or swimming are some great ways to allow range of motion of joints with limiting compressive joint forces. In addition to activity modification, diet, weight control, and posture all can help minimize joint degeneration. Joint protection or unloading can be achieved by using a walking aide, brace, or splint. Using ice or heat can help with pain management. Education on what to avoid as well as specific strengthening and stretching exercises can be provided by your physical therapist. If you would like more information on osteoarthritis, Sun City Physiotherapy is offering a free lecture on Wednesday, Dec 5. 6 p.m., at our St. Paul Street location in downtown Kelowna. Please call 250-8618056 to reserve your seat. Fabienne Moser is a registered physiotherapist and associate at Sun City Physiotherapy’s St. Paul Street location. She can be contacted at 250861-8056 or email downtown@suncityphysiotherpay.com.

Open house marks national addiction awareness week An Open House during National Addictions Awareness Week (Nov.19 to 25) will showcase the wide variety of resources available to help people in the Central Okanagan. Representatives from more than 30 agencies and organizations that actively work to assist people struggling with or impacted by substance abuse will be on hand for the event. It takes place Thursday, Nov. 22, 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., at Trinity Baptist Church, 1905 Springfield Rd. Christene Walsh, social development coordinator with the Regional District of Central Okanagan, says acknowledging local resources and the vital services they provide our community is one key benefit of this event, yet sharing this knowledge with the broader community is just as essential. “Each year, between 2004 and 2011 the B.C. Coroners Service reported substances were the primary cause of death for an average of 20 people in the Central Okanagan and there were likely more deaths where substances were a contrib-
uting factor,” Walsh said. She says the Centre for Addiction Research B.C. reports that the Interior Health Authority region has the most hospitalizations from alcohol and other drug overdoses. “Support is available for people seeking healthier lives. We want Central Okanagan residents to realize there is a wide range of resources locally because people often turn to friends or family first for help, advice and guidance.” Visitors to the open house will find resource display booths showcasing supportive recovery housing; shelter, support and transitional housing; community peer support; child, youth and family resources as well as community and residential treatment services. Laurence East, lead pastor and executive director of Metro Community, says there are far too many myths and misnomers associated with addiction. “As an organization that is involved with people at the point of crisis, we recommend this resource to…learn and know more about the issues surrounding addiction.

I decided to pass on to her for a birthday gift the play barn my Grandpa Henderson made for me when I was that age. I remember so well the hours of enjoyment it gave me complete with the wooden carved animals.

ever this childhood treasure lovingly made by my grandfather, so much so I was careful when restoring it to maintain the integrity of what he did. If I replaced a door or piece of the roof, I used a piece of maple and left it unpainted, so it was a clear difference of what was old and what is new. I also wrote the history of it and attached a picture of Grandpa Henderson inside. This way it can be passed down through the generations with its provenance intact. ••• Last week, I talked about the first snowfall of the season and typically it disappeared just as fast as
terized by now, but something often forgotten is the self-draining hose bibs with hoses still attached. Self-draining taps are such that when turned off the water drains out to prevent freezing. If the hose is left on, still filled with water, there is a chance the tap could freeze. Simply remove the hose to prevent this from happening. It is also a good idea to empty the hose itself just in case you may need to do some mid-winter watering under eaves or trees. Do this by taking one end of the hose and elevate it by going up on a deck or simply a step ladder. Keep pulling the hose up until the other end has left the ground and it will be empty.

it came. We get a second chance to clean up the garden and put away our tools. Get it done folks because the snow is sure to come again and this time in earnest. One of the things I need to do each fall is put to bed any potted plant material that could freeze if left exposed; in particular my cactus collection. Almost all of my cacti are hardy if planted in the ground. But I’m afraid if the roots are not protected there could be a problem, so I simply bury the containers. In case it gets stupid cold like -20 C or colder, I have a blanket ready to drape over them with little sticks to hold it up to prevent damage from the weight of it. ••• Anyone who has an automatic sprinkler system should have it win-

Hector (Diego and Catalina) came to us together. As Chinchilla’s live up to 20 years of age, it is difficult to determine how old they are now. They are very social creatures, so we would love them to stay together, or if you have a Chinchilla, any of them would make an excellent friend. They do needs lots of love and attention, so previous experience is required. Please ask the staff to set up a viewing/meeting if you are interested in 1, 2 or all 3.

FANCY ID#269503
Snuggles is a beautiful Abyssianian X who’s owner could no longer care for him. He is happy and healthy and could use a gentle hand and lots of socialization. We believe he would do best in a quiet home where he can come out of his shell. Please do your research before thinking about adopting a Guinea Pig.

She has lots of charm and will give her new family many years of love and companionship.

CAPITAL NEWS
CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen everyone can cook If you only buy one of the Eric Akis series of Everyone Can Cook books, his latest is the one you should buy for yourself, or for a loved one who cooks for you. Everyone Can Cook Everything, published by B.C.’s Whitecap Books is a compendium of his best-selling series, which began with one called Everyone Can Cook. Akis is a food columnist whose work now appears in a number of papers across Canada, but he’s also a chef and his recipes are generally excellent, without being too complicated. This book is a collection of 240 recipes from appetizers, soups and salads, through to side dishes, baked goods and desserts. With Grey Cup Sunday looming, I thought some juicy, flavourful ribs would be good to gnaw on in front of the television, so you must try this rib recipe from Eric’s latest book. It’s yummy. Just provide lots of napkins. Incidentally, buying good cookbooks is not the only way to become a great cook. You can also attend cooking classes, like those put on by top chef Matt Batey at Mission Hill’s fabulous culinary theatre, where you can watch the chefs in action from a comfortable table where you enjoy sips of excellent wine along with the dishes being created in front of you. It’s an amazing and delicious experience, as well as being educational. Next week is a new one called The Dynamics of Food and Wine, East Coast Living. Then there’s the Boot Camp Professional series the next week, followed by Thai cooking, Mediterranean and more. Go to the website for details: www.missionhillwinery.com Then, join my favourite lavender lady, Andrea McFadden, for her Christmas Fair at the Okanagan Lavender & Herb Farm in South Kelowna Nov. 24 and 25 with all manner of lavender or herb-themed gift ideas— or a treat for yourself. Go to: www.okanaganlavender.com If you’re thinking of gifts, consider picking up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, available wherever books are sold, including local wine shops and at Mosaic Books and Chapters.
Eric's Quick Chicken Stew for Two
This was very simple and fast to make and tasted like the ultimate comfort food— like you’d slaved all day over a hot stove to make it. To match the herbs in this, try the herbaceous flavours of the White Bear 2011 Sauvignon Blanc with it. Its plummy flavours, but zesty finish cut through the richness of the chicken stew. And, it’s quite a reasonablypriced B.C. VQA wine. 1 tbsp. (15 ml) vegetable oil 1/2 lb. (250 g) boneless, skinless chicken 1/3 c. (80 ml) chopped onion 1/3 c. (80 ml) chopped carrot 1/3 c. (80 ml) chopped celery 1 1/2 tbsp. (22 ml) flour pinch dried sage leaves 1 1/2 c. (375 ml) chicken stock 1/4 c. (60 ml) frozen peas or corn salt and fresh-ground black pepper
You may use either chicken breast or thighs cut into bite-sized cubes. Heat the oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring frequently, for four or five minutes, or until the chicken is light golden brown on all sides. Stir in the flour and sage and cook for a minute. Slowly add the stock, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat until the stew is gently simmering. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Add a little more stock if the stew becomes too thick. Add the peas or corn and cook for two minutes, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Serves 2.

Hawaiian-Style Ribs
This is a great way to cook pork ribs that leaves them moist and tender, and the sauce is exotic and full of flavour. This recipe of Eric's would be a great messy snack to serve friends or family during the Grey Cup game on the weekend, or for dinner afterwards. We paired this with the Ganton & Larsen Prospect Winery Red Willow Shiraz, which was nice and smooth and rich-tasting, with a hint of smokiness that paired really well with the ribs. 1/2 c. (125 ml) soy sauce 1/2 c. (125 ml) ketchup 1/4 c. (60 ml) honey 1 tsp. (5 ml) five spice powder 1 tsp. (5 ml) coarse black pepper 1-inch piece fresh ginger 1/4 c. (60 ml) dry sherry 2 garlic cloves, crushed 3 lb (1.5 kg) pork side or back ribs Trim the ribs and cut them into four to six-bone racks.
Combine the soy, ketchup, honey, five spice powder, peppercorns, chopped ginger, sherry and garlic in a large bowl. Add the ribs and turn to coat. Cover, marinate and refrigerate for four hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Pre-heat the oven to 325 F. Place the ribs in a single layer, meaty side up, in a shallow baking pan. Pour in a cup of water. Brush half the marinade left in the bowl over the ribs and store the remaining marinade in the fridge. Cover and bake the ribs for an hour. Uncover and brush the ribs with the remaining marinade. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes more, or until the ribs are tender and nicely glazed. Turn the oven to broil and broil them for a few minutes to glaze and deepen their colour. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before cutting each rack into singlebone pieces. Arrange on a platter and spoon some of the pan juices over top to serve.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen
There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt
*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh
*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
