Okanagan East Local food industry big winner with chef residents voice opposition to incorporation STAFF REPORTER
Okanagan East director Patty Hanson’s announcement about progress being made toward incorporation has several residents infuriated. Last week, Hanson announced Minister of Community, Sports and Cultural Development Bill Bennett had responded positively to her request to begin a referendum process for her constituents. She said the move would allow residents to be better represented and said the current governing body— Regional District of the Central Okanagan—does “not represent the voice of the citizens.” But according to some residents of Okanagan East, it is Hanson who is not representing their voice. “Your continuing derogatory comments and accusations regarding the regional district governing and its board members to the residents and the media is unprofessional and an embarrassment to every resident within the RDCO East,” Okanagan East resident Edna Thiessen wrote to Hanson in an open letter last week. Thiessen became aware of the issue after attending a community meeting in Ellison Sept. 12. She said the sign outside Ellison Hall that read: “Discussion—Kelowna, to be or not to be” was a misleading representation of what the meeting was actually about. “People out here have always felt a little threatened that the city might just take us over…it’s been a real tender spot for a lot of residents out here,” said Thiessen. “Most people that live out here choose to live out here because they don’t want to live within the city limits.” Thiessen said she was frustrated after realizing the meeting was not what she expected. “Patty stood up and spent about the first 20 minutes bashing the regional district on how they govern, how her motions are dealt with. We all kind of looked at each other and thought: What the heck is going on here? We didn’t come out to listen to this.” See Opposition A6

Local food producers have a champion in Kelowna’s champion chef Mark Filatow who brought home gold from the Gold Medal Plates in Vancouver over the weekend, and will now compete in February’s Canadian Culinary Championships—right here in Kelowna. The past two years the event has been held here, there weren’t any local chefs in the running, but this year, local fans can cheer for a Kelowna chef—one who is fanatical in his quest for local ingredients to fill the menu with at his Waterfront Restaurant on Sunset Drive. Filatow prepared a trio of Bar M Ranch lamb dishes, including one that involved purchasing a Weber barbecue which he had to set up on the loading dock at the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver in order to cook it for the judges—and 500 guests. That was the lamb loin, but he also braised the neck, ground it and spiced it up like sausages in tubes, and braised the belly with Moroccan flavours so it was very tender. The trio were served with a potato doughnut which was crisp outside and tender inside; thumbelina carrots, cut in half and served with harissa, a hot chili sauce; and fennel relish.
Both the guests and the seven judges were impressed, and he received the gold medal over two other Okanagan chefs as well as chefs from Vancouver’s top restaurants. A certified sommelier as well as a chef, he paired it with the Orofino 2010 Scout Vineyard Syrah from the Similkameen. In February he will be up against top chefs from across Canada in three competitions. The first involves pairing a dish with a mystery wine that’s revealed the night before; the second is a black box competition at the Okanagan College Culinary Arts facility; and the third involves feeding hundreds of people at the Delta Grand at the finale to the competition, where the winner is announced. Filatow and his restaurant chef Wayne Morris will be practising black box competitions in the coming months, beginning with pen and paper, and then working on a framework for dishes that they can complete in the required amount of time, which may work with the mystery ingredients. Such competitions are not new to Filatow, who says he participated in them as an apprentice. That apprenticeship included time working with Kelowna Chef Rod Butters when he was at the Wickanninish Inn on Vancouver Island, and the move to the Okanagan with Butters when he first opened Fresco. It has now

Male fish becoming feminized in Okanagan wastewater Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Scientists from UBCO who have been studying the impacts of estrogenic compounds in wastewater from sewage treatment plants in the Okanagan have found that male goldfish in a treated effluent reservoir are becoming feminized. Biologist Bruce Mathieson has been collecting fish and water samples from Vernon’s MacKay Reservoir the past two years, as well as fish and water samples from a similar-sized pond just a few kilometres away—one fed by natural runoff and rainwater. The reservoir holds treated effluent from the Vernon Water Reclamation Centre, a wastewater treatment plant, prior to it being used to irrigate grazing lands and golf courses south of Vernon. Mathieson detected the changes in the male fish using molecular biology to study genes in the fish that are es-
trogen-dependent. “I expected females to have a higher expression of these bio-markers for estrogen, but in MacKay Reservoir the males also have those bio-markers. “Those altered genes are of concern. It’s hard to predict what other changes are being made,” he commented. It’s the type of alteration that is typical of endocrine disruption, he explained. Endocrine disruptors such as estrogenic compounds can mimic female hormones in male fish, he said. In fact, it has been known to result in male fish that produce both sperm and eggs, he said. Estrogenic compounds can act at very low concentrations, he noted. However, the expectation is that they will break down over time. Limnologist Jeff Curtis at UBCO has been working for several years on an investigation of receiving waters for the Okanagan’s wastewater treat-

ticed that the goldfish in the MacKay Reservoir are 10 times larger than those in the ‘control’ pond, but he doesn’t know whether that’s because they’re older age classes, but he’ll be looking into that over the winter. Or, they could be getting more nutrients than the fish in the control pond, or there could even be a bird taking all the smaller fish from the reservoir. All of his work is preliminary at this stage, with more data needed to answer questions and fill in the gaps, he emphasized. Since it’s impossible to remove everything from treatment plant effluent, it’s important to figure out what compounds and chemicals are the important ones to target, he noted. He would like to expand his analysis to include pharmaceuticals and personal care products, and he’d like to do more sampling in the colder months to see what differences there are then.

Study finds rate for children living in poverty still escalating Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
More children are being referred for development issues and less women smoke during pregnancy, but the poverty rate among Central Okanagan children continues to climb. Some 23 per cent of the region’s near 12,000 children live in poverty, up significantly from the 20.6

per cent of 2006. Tuesday afternoon, with the release of the 2012 State of the Child Report, organized by Community Action Toward Children’s Heath and delivered on National Child Day, municipal leaders throughout the area got a moment to explain what each area is doing for local kids. “What’s so good about CATCH…is the fact that
now all children are important,” said Kelowna’s Mayor Walter Gray. “Everything we don’t learn before the age of six is going to really handicap our ability to become complete and whole and give back later on in life,” he said, explaining that CATCH has really opened regional leaders’ eyes to the importance of early childhood development.

Information from the City of Kelowna on what the community is doing to support the region’s children emphasized the amount of parks space and amenities on offer, like the bikes lanes. The report proved much of the same from previous years, with a notable difference in the number of children now being referred for intervention on development issues and a significant increase in the number of daycare spots. Where only 404 children were referred to the Central Okanagan Child Development Association in 2008, some 597 children were referred in 2011-12. There has also been a 35 per cent increase in the number of daycare spots over five years ago—now 3,886 over 3,094—which is very good news for this traditionally beleaguered sector and working parents. Some 23 per cent of Central Okanagan children are living below the poverty line and 27 per cent of children in the area are still considered vulnerable upon entering school, or likely to struggle in the school system.

Weather causes some Sopa Square NDP candidate steps forward retailers to back out of Mission project Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Delays to the Sopa Square development have caused about 10 per cent of expected retailers to back out. According to Stacey Fenwick, marketing director of Sopa Square, October’s nearly-record-set-
ting rainfall prevented crews from putting a roof over the commercial space. “Our biggest holdup is the weather, getting our roof on. Without the roof we really can’t do a lot inside,” said Fenwick. This isn’t the first time the commercial space opening has been delayed,
according to Fenwick. “We were expecting to get them in (last) summer and things were delayed. Then it was supposed to be before Christmas. Now it’s not going to be until spring,” said Fenwick. “There are a few tenants who are backing out—about 10 per cent of them; 90 per cent are holding on.” Fenwick said she is currently working to fill those vacancies. The development has several restaurants and food markets that have stuck around, so the goal is to bring in more clothing retailers.

“I’m confident by the time we’re ready that it’ll be fully leased again. It’s just getting more realistic on when we’re actually going to be ready to be open.” The entire Sopa Square development will be an 11-storey residential, commercial and office building located in the 3,000 block of South Pandosy. Fenwick said construction on the residential towers should begin by February or March 2013. The target is to have the 98 residential units ready by the end of 2013.
Both a long-time labour leader and experienced small business owner has announced his intention to seek the provincial NDP nomination for the Kelowna-Lake Country riding. Mike Nuyens made his feelings known at the riding constituency’s annaul general meeting last Saturday. The 52-year-old machine operator said he decided to make the foray into provincial politics after witnessing first-hand the devastation to families and communities as a result of what he called the reckless policies of the Liberal government. “I was born and raised in Kelowna-Lake Coun-
try. I’ve raised my children here. I’ve started my own businesses here. I wouldn’t live anywhere else,” Nuyens said. “But I’m shocked at what 12 years of deep cuts to public services and mismanagement of our natural resources have done to my community and communities across the province. It’s getting harder and harder for families to make ends meet.” Nuyens is known for his efforts defending the rights of working people and their families, as an activist and leader within the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, where he served on the union executive. Born to a fami-
ly of orchardists, Nuyens co-managed the 100acre family orchard with his father after graduating from high school. He started his own excavation business in Kelowna-Lake Country over 30 years ago, which grew from a one-person operation to a company of over 15 employees. Nuyens said he has the experience, skills and drive to win the constituency for the NDP, citing his campaign organizing efforts to stop the Liberals’ proposed sell-off of the Coquihalla Highway. Nuyens and his wife, Jocelyn, live in Lake Country with their two sons, Brayden, 21, and Mitchell, 18.

to make the incorporation concept seem appealing. She said the director talked about how services such as snow plowing would be improved if the area had its own government. A petition requesting an incorporation study was also passed around at the meeting; Thiessen noted there wasn’t an option to disagree with incorporation on the petition. Thiessen attended another community meet-
ing in Joe Rich earlier this month. Prior to the meeting, she sent e-mails to all board members of the regional district, inviting them to attend. Director Gail Given took her up on the offer. “Gail’s presence kept Patty from the 20 minutes of board-bashing that we had to endure at Ellison.” According to Thiessen, Hanson struggled to answer many questions regarding numbers and figures. She said Given spoke up to an-
swer questions or correct misinformation multiple times. Since the Nov. 14 meeting, Capital News has received several letters questioning Hanson’s intentions. “There is something motivating her to all this because it is not the support of the general voters,” said Thiessen. Thiessen and several others agree that motivation is Kelowna Mountain. On Nov. 16, Morena
Taylor sent an open letter to the regional district board members, expressing her concern with the incorporation proposal. “Could it be that Ms. Hanson is so deeply entrenched in her support of the Kelowna Mountain development that she has lost sight of the interests of the people who live in these areas?” wrote Taylor. “In my opinion, elected officials should not be seen to be so invested in the interest of a business application that they would promote a campaign to withdraw from the current local government in order to gain approval for the business interest.” Thiessen pointed to the fact Kelowna Mountain representative Michelle Rule has been a main speaker at the community meetings. Joe Rich resident John Collinson said very few people who he has spoken to agree with Hanson’s position on incorporation. “Just be aware that Hanson does not speak for me, nor do I believe she represents my best interests as a Joe Rich resident, taxpayer and constituent,” Collinson wrote in an open letter to the regional district. For now, Thiessen and a couple hundred other Okanagan East residents continue to communicate via e-mail and are determined to have their voices heard. “Any attempt to further this incorporation, we will attempt to stop,” said Thiessen. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

KGH receives a surprise donation for cardiac care The Kelowna General Hospital Foundation has received a huge gift from the estate of a Kelowna woman who passed away earlier this year—money she wanted used in support of cardiac care here. Edith Caroline Graham was 96 when she passed away April 28. The KGH Foundation said it was not aware that she had included a gift in her will. It wasn’t until a notice was received from the estate’s lawyer, advising that the foundation was the residual beneficiary of her estate. The gift totals $900,000. Graham received her teacher’s training in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, but moved to B.C. in 1945, receiving her master’s degree in education at UBC. Most of her teaching
Edith Graham career was spent at the Richmond Senior Secondary School. She retired in 1981 after 45 years of teaching and moved to Kelowna in 1986. She lived at the Wedgewood Retirement home for many years. According to information learned by the foundation, she had many family members who had cardiac problems, and that was her motivation to support cardiac care at KGH. “The Kelowna Gener-
al Hospital Foundation is honoured to receive this very generous bequest,” said Diane Paterson, gift planning officer at the foundation. “We are working with Edith’s family to ensure her gift is recognized in a manner she so richly deserves.” A new $365-million cardiac care centre is being built at KGH and is expected to open in 2015. The foundation is an independent, volunteer-driven charitable organization committed to enhancing the delivery of health care to the patients of KGH and its associated facilities. For more information on planned gifts, contact Paterson at the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation at 250-862-4300, local 7011 or by e-mail at diane.paterson@interiorhealth.ca.

IT’S PART OF THE EMPHASIS ON HEALTHY LIFESTYLE‌ (WHICH) CELEBRATES THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE CENTRAL OKANAGAN. Walter Gray, Mayor of Kelowna
Melcor’s Andrew Bruce said there will be lookouts at the top offering spectacular views up and down the Central Okanagan. The trail system will cost about $150,000 and the price tag is being split 50-50 with the city. The city agreed to pay for half the cost during its spring budget deliberations. On Wednesday, Mayor Walter Gray joined Melcor officials, including executive vice-chairman Andrew Melton and Bruce, in kicking off the project, which is expected to be complete by the end
of May. Gray said the city has been “pretty aggressive� in pushing developers to provide what he called active recreation amenities such as the trails in recent years because they are reflective of the city’s push to get residents out enjoying the outdoors more. “It’s part of the emphasis on healthy lifestyle,� Gray said, pointing to new trails, sidewalks, pathways and other recreation corridors the city has built in recent years. “(This effort also) celebrates the natural beauty of the Central Okanagan,� he said. Melcor which has built a number of houses in the area, also teamed up with the city to build a park farther up the road from the trail head. Birkdale Park was opened in April at a cost of $500,000. Contributions from the company were used, as well as federal-provincial-municipal infrastructure funding. The Black Mountain Trails will cover about 6.5 acres, some of which is land owned by the city and some of which is owned by Melcor. The trails start alongside Black Mountain Drive, a few hundred metres in from the turnoff from Highway 33. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Project Build Society helps with housing Barry Gerding EDITOR
PROJECT BUILD SOCIETY executive director Leanne Hammond with president
Andrew Bruce of Melcor Development (left), and society supporter Wim Zuydervelt, president of Molenbeek Ventures. “Many families are stuck in a vicious cycle of paying high rent that could just as easily be paying down a mortgage if they just had a little help with their down payment,” said Hammond, citing the example of a family paying $1,200 in rent that could easily be translated into a mortgage payment. “That’s where our granting program comes in. If you have enough family income to qualify for a mortgage, a good credit rating, and are what we could call a ‘family on the cusp of success,’ the Project Build Society wants to hear from you.” Andrew Bruce, president of Project Build Society, said his involvement in the development industry has made him aware of the importance to own a house can mean to the economic stability of a family. “We agree with the view that owning a home improves a family’s financial security and provides a sense of connection to community,” said Bruce, formerly the director of planning for the City of Kelowna who now works for Melcor Developments Ltd. Hammond said the Project Build Society model is a win-win for everyone in the housing industry—new homes are purchased, mortgages get paid, builders and tradespeople get more work and
a family gets a chance to improve their way of life. Hammond said so far, the society has grants available for development projects in Lake Country (Sageglenn) and West Kelowna (Elkridge) and is working on further arrangements with developments in Vernon and Rutland. Expanding on its mission statement to build community, the society will also provide a grant for $1,000 for each month that works to put an owned roof over people’s heads. The first grant recipient announced Tuesday was the Central Okanagan chapter of Habitat For Humanity, which is currently working on a housing project in West Kelowna for a low income family. “We are trying to pave the way for people who couldn’t otherwise afford it to own a home,” said Habitat for Humanity spokesperson Lona Manning. “This grant is appre-
ciated as we all know it takes a lot of money for a house to be built in the Central Okanagan.” Project Build has also entered a working relationship with Metro Up, a charitable society that offers financial literacy assistance to people struggling with debt and money management issues. Starting in 2013, new clients taken on by Project Build will also be recipients of an eight-week Metro Up financial literacy program. As well, the society has also arranged to have a series of books written by Nancy Phillips, founder of Dollar Smart Kids and author of Zela Wela Kids, distributed to school libraries across School District 23. Phillips writes and talks about the need to educate young children about the value of money in a society that is increasingly allowing consumers to access purchases with plastic credit cards or online.

Phillips said a study of 1,000 children growing up that has spanned 30 years has shown that spending self control habits should start at age 3. “With less cash being used to buy things, it is easier and more detached for young people to spend money and get themselves deeply in debt,” Phillips explained. “We have to teach kids at a young age that spending money or buying on credit should be a valuebased decision with some thought given as to what that purchase means to them, is it something they really need or are other factors, such as peer pressure, convincing them to make a purchase.” Hammond said what Phillips promotes is in line with the mission of Project Build to build community, noting that a high debt load has become “the new normal” today for many Canadians. “Today on average, someone graduating with a degree will have accumulated a debt of $27,000 which will take them 14 to 15 years to pay off…It’s a difficult position to be in for couples to chose between having kids or buying a house,” Hammond noted.

There is a new option for new home buyers who can afford the mortgage payments but don’t have enough cash for the down payment in the Central Okanagan. The Project Build Society is looking to step forward in a significant way to provide grants to cover the down payment cost, and also branch out in other areas to do its part to build a healthy community. At a press conference Tuesday at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, Project Build Society executive director Leanne Hammond outlined some of the society’s new initiatives. The focal point is the community minded venture of securing donations from individuals in the housing industry—developers, builders, tradespeople, realtors, lawyers, municipalities and financial lenders—to provide a non-repayable grant to help those who want to purchase a new home but have been unable to save for a down payment on their own. Hammond said the society program is on a government sponsored project, but rather community-based and aimed solely at the middle class income group, funded solely by the generosity of the participating business members. The society was originally started in 2008 as a unique fundraising project by the Central Okanagan Foundation, with the donation of a building lot and seed money from local philanthropist Derek Tretheway. The sale of the home provided a lasting legacy of funding for charitable projects in the community, and spurred the enthusiasm of the building industry to continue to “give back” in a meaningful way. The funding initiative subsequently grew into its own non-profit society, certified by the province as a non profit society in February 2010.

Time to change pot laws
M
arijuana reform advocates hope Washington and Colorado states’ recent vote to legalize and tax marijuana sales will add momentum to their push for change in B.C. Washington state estimates it would collect $560 million in the first year from a 25-per-cent tax on the sale of regulated marijuana through authorized stores. If enacted, this could also cause a partial collapse of B.C.’s estimated $7-billion-a-year il-
legal pot industry, as growers relocate to the U.S. to avoid the need to smuggle. Recently, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized. They’d rather pot be regulated and taxed instead. The U.S. votes are a progressive move toward responsible marijuana use. It’s time for B.C. to take a similar step toward decriminalization, if not legalization of ma-

rijuana. The potential tax revenue and the opportunity to reduce law enforcement costs, and help unclog our court system is compelling. The poll results south of the border sent a message that U.S. drug policies are not working. Ours aren’t working either. Sensible B.C., a campaign headed by B.C. marijuana activist and medical pot dispenser Dana Larsen, aims to get enough signatures on a petition to force a provincial referendum on mari-
juana decriminalization, through B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act. The proposed Sensible Policing Act would block B.C. police from spending time or resources on searches, seizures or arrests for simple cannabis possession. It’s time we take our antiquated marijuana laws and follow the lead of our neighbours to the south and let the people decide if it’s time for a change.

Canada’s safety a big drawing card for international students
L
ast week, I was in Montreal attending the annual Canadian Bureau for International Education conference. This event attracts hundreds of college and university professionals involved in attracting and retaining international students to their campuses. It is a sector of post-secondary education that has gone through a number of major shifts in the last five years. The most significant shift is the support international education is receiving from both the federal and pro-
vincial governments who see international education as a means in which to offset the looming skills shortages. Today in Canada, if an international student Jane graduates form a CanaMuskens dian college or university they may qualify to receive a three-year work permit. The government is hoping that international students with Canadian credentials will consider immigrating to Canada. Unfortunately, due to our global economy, recent trends in attracting international students from China suggest that the strength of their econ-
SCHOOL’S IN
omy is providing better job opportunities for graduates at home. Another interesting trend is that both levels of governments have mandated increases in international student enrolments. Some institutions are struggling with this as they are already at full capacity when it comes to international student numbers – some institutions have close to 30 per cent of their population as international students. This is quite a large number – at Okanagan College our international student population is approximately 6.5 per cent of our student body. Today, 63 per cent of international students choose to attend a university in the United States. In second
place is the United Kingdom at 42 per cent. Due to government policy on post graduate employment and drastic increases in tuition the United Kingdom has witnessed a major decline in international student enrolments. Australia comes in at number three with 30 per cent, followed by France at 14 per cent, New Zealand at 13 per cent, and finally Canada at 6 per cent. Although Canada is in sixth place it has seen some growth in the international student market. So why do students choose Canada? Safety seems to be one of the biggest reasons students consider our country. But safety doesn’t must mean you can walk the streets past 11 p.m. Safety for many internation-
al students comes from an impression that Canadians have a high quality of life because we have a safe, secure and stable government. Along with this we have a system that supports a basic health infrastructure. Students can come and study in Canada and not be worried too much about either their health or their security. Another bonus for Canada is that we offer international students the opportunity to be employed. Depending on the program and the student, in the last five years international students have been able to get part-time employment and participate in co-op work experiences. Jane Muskens is registrar for Okanagan College.

▼ BILL C-398
Don’t reneg on affordable medications haran Africa are being raised by grandmothers. We know that without medicines, roughly half of the babies born with HIV die before they are two years old. We also know that the 20 million adults and children living with AIDS often can’t have the medicines they need. A big barrier is cost. In 2004, Canada
understood this and was one of the first countries to implement the World Trade Organization’s decision to allow generic formulations of patented medicines to be exported to eligible developing countries. That pride has soured to shame because, eight years later, Canada’s Access to Medicines Regime still is not workable. Last year, a bill to fix
the tangled process passed in the House, (Mr. Cannan [Kelowna-Lake Country] was one of the MPs supporting the bill) but it died in the Senate when the election was called. Bill C-398 now before our decision makers is a second attempt to make good on Canada’s promises to the developing world. Although strides have
been made in combating AIDS, the numbers of people affected is still staggering. This bill is one piece of the solution and must pass to demonstrate that the government of Canada pays more than lip service to the welfare of the world’s mothers and children. Sharon Swanson, Kelowna

Board wants no dogs on school grounds To the editor: At the Oct. 10 public meeting of the Board of Education, School District 23, I respectfully asked the board to consider an amendment to RDCO Bylaw 366, so that dogs on a leash under the care of a responsible owner would be allowed restricted access to school grounds. Essentially, I was asking the board to recognize that families in Kelowna continue to walk their children—with their dogs—to and from school each day. At the Oct. 24 public meeting of the board, our school trustees voted on a motion to amend the bylaw. Some of the trustees admitted that they were confused about what they were about to vote on. To be clear: the board has the sole discretion to allow or prohibit dogs on school property. Superintendent Hugh Gloster and sec-
retary-treasurer Larry Paul know that. They were present at the meeting and both chose to say nothing. The motion was defeated, unanimously, without any debate or discussion. Later in the meeting, when pressed by a fellow trustee for an explanation, board chairman Rolli Cacchioni stated “safety issues,” and then went on to say that a relative of his is not allowed to go near cats or dogs, for medical reasons. I hesitate to think that chairman Cacchioni wishes to impose his personal agenda on Kelowna’s dog owner community, however the board cannot or will not provide any defensible arguments that would explain why they do not allow dogs on school grounds. After the Oct. 24 meeting, I sent a letter to the board asking them, again, to explain their position regarding dogs on school property. I
Little opposition to FIPA To the editor: Time is running out. Much ink has been spilled on the subject of the Canada-China investment treaty (FIPA), yet provincial premiers and municipalities are not shouting from rooftops. Why aren’t they? They stand to lose big time if they ever make a decision that gets in the way of a Chinese company’s profits. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has already said he’ll create a mechanism to claw back from provinces and municipalities any financial penalties assessed through the investor-state arbitration process of the FIPA. A story in the Investment Arbitration Reporter of Nov. 14 shows us what that kind of lawsuit could look like. A U.S.
energy company, Lone Pine Resources, has filed a Notice of Intent to sue Canada for $250 million under the investor-state arbitration process of NAFTA. The lawsuit follows a decision by the province of Quebec to revoke certain gas exploration permits held by the company in light of new legislation to do with a moratorium on fracking. Canada has been sued many times under Chapter 11 of NAFTA, and has never won a case. At least we can get out of NAFTA at any time if we give six months notice. Not so with the FIPA. If Harper ratifies it, we’ll be locked in for 31 years. Dianne Varga, Kelowna
also invited our school trustees to visit our local school, to see for themselves how students, staff, families, and dogs coexist. Typically, there are about 10 “dog visits” to our school each day, all within a friendly, supportive environment. To date, I have not received a response from the board. One of the unfortunate consequences of the board’s refusal to address this issue is that families bring their dogs on to school grounds, sometimes over a span of several months, and then, as requested by the board, are ticketed by the RDCO. The fine for bringing a dog on to school grounds is $100. Is the board willing to engage in some open dialogue with their constituents on the issue of dogs on school grounds, or do they choose to perpetuate this farce? David Bruce, Kelowna

Murder conviction may lead to parole after five years Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A Penticton man who admitted to murdering an 85-year-old woman in 2006 could be up for parole in five years. Cory Wolf Swite, 26, was initially convicted of first degree murder for smothering and then having sex with an elderly Penticton woman in March 2009, but that conviction was set aside by
the court of appeal last year due to concerns with the jury. A retrial got underway in Kelowna this month, but in a surprise twist Swite pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of second degree murder. While both convictions carry a minimum sentence of 25 years, parole eligibility with the lesser charge is more flexible. Crown counsel Rob
Bruneau asked the judge for a 15 year minimum sentence, while defence lawyer Kevin McCullough suggested 10 years. Swite was arrested for the crime in 2007, and the years he’s spent in prison would be used against that total, meaning there’s a possibility for parole in 2017. McCullough suggested the lesser sentence would be more fitting, when the Gladue decision
was accounted for. The Gladue decision states: “All available sanctions other than imprisonment that are reasonable in the circumstances should be considered for all offenders, with particular attention to the circumstances of aboriginal offenders.” And Swite’s particular circumstances, said McCullough, were particularly egregious. Not only was he an
alcoholic with the mental acuity of a child when he committed the crime, Swite also was imbedded in a violent community with few resources. Swite, he told the judge, was a member of the Penticton Indian Band and in the months leading to the crime, he had not only lost his mother to her alcoholism, he was witness to one of the city’s most violent crimes. During a 2004 bush
party, his cousin Dustin Paul killed three men and wounded two others, many of whom were Swite’s family. Paul, said McCullough, actually shot fatal blasts from his gun from a vantage point behind Swite, deafening him in one ear and putting him front and centre for the grisly crime. None of these events placed Swite in good stead moving forward, it
was argued in court Tuesday, and that should be weighed into sentencing, regardless of the severity of the crime. According to previous court records, Swite broke in to Olive Hill’s apartment to steal cigarettes and money, but when she awoke he smothered her with a pillow and had sex with her after she stopped breathing. Swite will be sentenced Friday.

Fourth-year nursing students from UBC’s Okanagan campus will be travelling to Ghana, Africa, for seven weeks next spring, where they will help villagers build a permanent health care centre, work in diverse health care situations, and promote global health. The nursing students will be spending some of their time in Chanshegu,
a rural village in northern Ghana that has limited access to child and mother health care. “Through funds raised, we’ll be purchasing the building materials and medical equipment for a four-room hut, and offering support wherever we are needed during the construction,” says Lisa Vinge, one of three fourthyear nursing students in-
volved with the political action project. “We also plan to contact the Ghana health ministry with the goal of securing a grant for a permanent health care worker. Our group has been fundraising since September to pay for the health centre. Donations in support of the initiative are still welcomed.” The village chief, Yos-

safe Bugli says, “Our lives are very good here, but I am worried about our women during childbirth. They need help so they do not die”. Health care for the villagers in Chanshegu, which has a population of about 400 people, consists of one yearly visit from the community nurse who provides immunizations. It is expected that the Ghana Ministry of Health will likely provide more health care professional visits if there is a permanent structure at the village. “I am excited that this project is happening,” says Muriel Kranabetter, associate professor in nursing at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “The village has been asking for this type of help for several years. The students’ efforts will make a significant difference in their lives”. The students have done several bake sales, sold caramel apples, raffled off two tickets to the Journey Concert in December, and various other fundraisers during their semester.

Bipolar disorder can go undiagnosed and untreated for years
B
ipolar disorder can be difficult to diagnose. Hallmark symptoms of moodiness and irritability are common to many other conditions and it is rare for the disorder to present in an immediately obvious manner. Occasionally, an individual with bipolar disorder will present with psychotic symptoms or mania early in their illness —when this happens, an accurate diagnosis can happen quickly, but otherwise the process often takes years. Researchers in France recently studied more than 400 individuals with bipolar disorder to determine how long it took for them to accurately be diagnosed and properly treated. Results of this study showed it generally takes almost 10 years from the start of symptoms to the initiation of appropriate treatment of bipolar disorder. In this group of pa-
HEALING MINDS
Paul Latimer tients, the mean age for symptoms to begin was 25.3 while the mean age for psychiatric treatment of any kind was 28.6. Appropriate treatment took much longer with the mean age being 34.9 years. Children with bipolar disorder are often not recognized and, indeed, some people still believe, incorrectly, that children cannot be bipolar. They can present as attention deficit, oppositional, depressed or anxious. Adults can present as depressed, anxious or irritable. They are often diagnosed as having Borderline Personality Disorder. Bipolar disorder is difficult to diagnose and also
difficult to treat. When it is undiagnosed for many years, individuals suffer many adverse consequences such as substance abuse problems, legal problems, marital failure, educational and vocational failures. By the time treatment begins, most patients and those around them will have come up with other explanations for all of these problems. These other explanations are often not very flattering and may lead to poor self-esteem, hopelessness and frustration. A diagnosis, as serious as it is, may be accompanied by a sense of relief in finally having an explanation for a myriad of problems that previously seemed unrelated. A chaotic life comes into perspective and there is now at least hope for solutions. It may also be a relief for loved ones who have been coping with (and sometimes blamed for) difficult, irrational be-
haviour for years without an understanding of what is happening. I wish I could tell you a simple strategy to shorten the duration of this undiagnosed and untreated period. There is no simple way. The diagnosis requires skill and interest. If one doesn’t ask the right questions the diagnosis will not be made except in the most extreme cases. I do believe the chances for an accurate and timely diagnosis are improved for those who see a psychiatrist. As trained specialists in mental illness, psychiatrists have the most experience with this group of patients. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon even for psychiatrists to miss this diagnosis or to make the wrong diagnosis. The two most common wrong diagnoses will be unipolar depression and Borderline Personality Disorder.

Business ventures green lighted
Two young entrepreneurs with a plan to make taxi service safer in foreign countries are now firmly on route, thanks to a $5,000 vote of confidence at the fifth Venture Okanagan Investors Forum held Nov. 7 at Okanagan College. Alejandro Jervis and Ivan Balconi Gonzalez are the founders of MiTaxi, a new mobile phone application that allows users to obtain verification that the taxi they are about to step into is registered and therefore safe. Jervis and Gonzalez, who come from Columbia and Mexico, explained to investors at the forum that while taxis may be safe in this country, that’s not always the case elsewhere. “Taxis are regularly used in South America, but they’re also often part of criminal activity, so when people step into the taxi, they don’t know that they may be at risk of being targets for assault, robbery, even sexual assault,” Jervis said. “What we want to do is help users leave a bread trail in case something happens, so they are able to share information with their family and friends and reduce the risk.”
Their compelling pitch convinced the panel of independent judges, and now Jervis hopes MiTaxi will take off, with the help of the top $5,000 prize plus complimentary consulting services from title sponsor Grant Thornton. “We plan to invest the funds towards the development of our application that will improve the lives of millions of people,”
Jervis said. Grant Thornton partner Kevin Crookes said the event illustrated the depth and breadth of new business ideas emerging in the Okanagan. “The calibre of presenters was excellent and it was exciting to see the innovative new businesses in the Okanagan,” Crookes said. Other projects that made it to the Investors
Forum included an engineering invention that protects waterways from toxic chemicals, a health technology business that is specializing in lower back pain management, and a specialty distillery business that is opening in the South Okanagan. Venture Okanagan operates under the umbrella of Okanagan College’s Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) program.

Wrong diagnoses do more than delay appropriate treatment. Incorrect treatment can make things worse. For example, treatment for depression or attention deficit disorder can induce mania or a mixed state if mistakenly given to someone with bipolar disorder. Counselling is always recommended for everything and there is no doubt that most people feel better having someone who will listen and be supportive. This, however, can be mistaken for effective treatment and they may spend years exploring is-

By Sam Hill, contributor Holiday shopping is rarely a fun and peaceful shopping trip, and what makes it even worse is shopping for the pickiest person that you know. Most of you probably have a fashionista on your list that you have bought gifts for in the past that just didn’t meet her standards. Even when you try really, really hard and pick the most expensive and trendiest piece in the mall it often misses the mark. Don’t feel bad, you’re not the only one! Style is all about personal preference and taste, and it is especially important to fashionistas that they stick to their personal style. For starters: avoid buying them clothing if possible. “Sure that expensive top may be lovely and yes, I definitely saw that pic of Megan Fox wearing it in that magazine, but am I going to be caught dead in that thing? Not a chance! As if you would ever see me in something so trendy.. have you not seen my closet? I’m far too original for that!” This is what she is really thinking on Christmas morning when she’s saying “Oh wow, thank you. I loved it on Megan Fox too...”. As grateful as we try to be, sometimes we just can’t make room in our closets for those thoughtful gifts. Now for the solution: they are small, rectangular, and packed full of money – giftcards! Maybe they don’t look as exciting as a big, beautifully wrapped giftbox, and as my mom would say “they are too impersonal”, but there is a trick to making these bad boys the absolute perfect gift. First, put a bow on it – I’m kidding, you can wrap it however you like. All you really need to do is put a stipulation on the gift card that the receiver cannot go shopping with it without you. Not only do you get to give them an awesome gift that they can use, but you also get to spend a day together learning about what they really would want to see in their stocking at Christmas! Boys, I’m going to go ahead and guess that you HATE this idea. Let’s be honest, you’re thinking, I’m not wasting a single day away from my man cave with my headset on, playing Black Ops until my fingers bleed, to go watch her try on clothes! It’s going to be okay boys. Just take a look at the following little gift guide I put together for you here (no thank-you necessary, but it wouldn’t hurt either) and remember: online shopping. You only have to put the controller down for like five minutes, I swear, and you’ll have a happy girlfriend – bonus! Earrings – Pearl, Diamond, or Silver Studs You don’t have to break the bank, but these are always relatively inexpensive, thoughtful gifts. Ben Moss, Metalsmiths, Peoples

Gellert full-time with Sabres Trio of Rockets listed by Central Scouting Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
As a player, coach and scout over the last four decades, Kim Gellert has seen hockey from many different perspectives. In 2012-13, the 57-year-old Kelowna Rockets’ skills coach is observing the game for the first time as a full-time professional scout. After six seasons working on a part-time basis for the Buffalo Sabres, the NHL club this year signed Gellert to a two-year deal as the Sabres’ Western regional amateur scout. “I didn’t really go out and pursue it, the (Sabres) just asked me if I would like to try it full-time and I said yes,” said Gellert. “I love the game, this is a good way to keep me in it and it keeps me busy. With the experience, hopefully I’ll keep getting better at it and continue to help the Sabres as long as I can.” A change in the Sabres’ ownership and philosophy last year is at least partially responsible for Gellert’s promotion to a full-time position. Since Terry Pegula bought the team, Buffalo has boosted its scouting staff from nine to 20 employees. As a full-time scout, Gellert is travelling considerably more than he did in previous years, covering the WHL in Western Canada as well as the junior A leagues in the west, including the BCHL. He’ll also be taking trips this season to Ontario, Quebec and Europe. Gellert’s main focus is

KELOWNA ROCKETS’ skills coach Kim Gellert is also a full-time scout with the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. scouting 1995-born talent, evaluating those players who are available for the 2013 NHL entry draft. As far as his credentials are concerned, Sabres assistant GM Kevin Devine said Gellert’s overall experience in the game is an asset to the NHL club. “With his European background, with the skills work he does with the Kelowna Rockets, and his knowledge of the B.C. league, it all ties in pretty well,” said Devine. “ He has a pretty good view of what a kids brings to a team. He’s a great guy and good hockey guy and he’s helped us a lot in this
area in the past. He helped bring (Sabres defenceman) Tyler Myers to our attention, so that’s certainly a positive, too.” After playing junior in his native Ontario and later at Lake Superior State, Gellert went on to a successful playing career in Italy, scoring more than 700 goals and winning six scoring titles over 16 seasons. Then after five seasons as a coach in Italy, Gellert decided to settle down with his family in Kelowna for good in 1995. See Gellert A24
Three Kelowna Rockets have been cited in NHL Central Scouting’s preliminary rankings for the 2013 NHL entry draft. On the list of the Western Hockey League’s top 25 skating prospects, defenceman Madison Bowey is rated 10th, while fellow blue liner Mitchell Wheaton is listed in the 22nd spot. Among the WHL’s top goaltending prospects is the Rockets’ Jackson Whistle who is ranked seventh. Bowey, 17, a native of Winnipeg, has three goals, nine points and a +12 rating this season with Kelowna. “Madison’s strength is obviously his skating, there aren’t many young guys who skate the way he does,” said Rockets assistant coach Dan Lambert. “He just has to keep working on improving his defensive game and if he does that, maybe he can continue to move up in those rankings.” Wheaton, a WHL rookie who stands in at 6-foot-4, 228 pounds, has three assists and a +5 rating in 20 games. Wheaton, who played last season with the Alberta Junior League’s Spruce Grove Saints, has been quick to grab the attention of NHL

DEFENCEMAN Madison Bowey is one of three Kelowna Rockets named in NHL Central Scouting’s preliminary rankings for the 2013 draft. scouts. “I think since the injuries to (defencemen) Mitchell Chapman and Mackenzie Johnston, Mitchell has really had to step up and play more minutes, he’s done a good job for us and he’s being noticed for it,” Lambert said. “He’s a guy with good size and he thinks the game very well. In the NHL of today you see a lot of the defencemen are 6-foot-3 or taller and Mitchell fits the bill.” Whistle, from West Kelowna, was acquired early this season from the Vancouver Giants. Since joining the Rockets, Whistle has been nothing short of brilliant, posting a 5-0 record, a 1.06 goals against average and one shutout.
“(Goaltender coach) Kim Dillabaugh has done a great job with Jackson,” Lambert said. “We’re very pleased with his play and the way he competes.” The top-ranked WHL player is Portland Winterhawks’ defenceman Seth Jones. It’s expected either Jones or forward Nathan McKinnon of Halifax will be the No. 1 overall pick. The 2013 NHL entry draft will be held June 28 and 29 in Newark, New Jersey. Each November, Central Scouting lists its top 25 skaters and top goaltenders in Canada’s three major junior leagues, as well the USHL.

POPE ON WATCH LIST
West Kelowna Warriors’ forward David Pope has been listed in Central Scouting’s preliminary rankings. The Edmonton native was given a C rating, meaning he’s a candidate most likely to go in the fourth to sixth rounds of the NHL entry draft. “It’s a tremendous honour,” Pope said. “Playing in the NHL has always been a dream of mine, and just to be recognized means I have that chance of getting drafted.” Pope has 16 points with the Warriors in 21 BCHL games this season.

Neilson 6th in Utah Owls teams repeat as Kelowna’s Eric Neilson bounced back from a disappointing season-opener on the World Cup circuit to nearly match his career-best in men’s skeleton racing last Saturday in Park City, Utah. Competing in just his second year on Canada’s elite squad, the 31-yearold Rutland grad finished as the top Canuck in sixth place after clocking a tworun time of 1:40.18. “Anytime you are in the mix with these guys it is a good day,” said Neilson, who was 16th at a World Cup event the pre-
Eric Neilson vious week in Lake Placid. “I was a little more relaxed and comfortable today. I feel I am ready for (the podium) if it comes
to me. This field is just so deep so I just need to relax, have a good time and remember why I started this. I was able to do that today.” Neilson slid to three top-10 finishes in his rookie year on the World Cup, with his best result in 2011-12 being a fifthplace finish in Winterberg, Germany. Neilson is also the defending Canadian champion. This weekend, the World Cup circuit stops at Whistler with the men’s skeleton race going on Saturday.

Sun Devils claim junior bantam title
Doug Farrow photos
The West Kelowna Sun Devils knocked off the defending B.C. champion Kelowna Lions 60-23 on Sunday at CNC to capture the Southern Interior Football Conference junior bantam title. After a tight first half which saw the Sun Devils leading 14-9, West Kelowna took charge in the second half outscoring the Lions 46-14. Nate Humes rushed for more than 200 yards and two touchdowns, Ty Truong scored two majors and rushed for over 150 yards, while Nick Kopp scored three majors and ran for more than 100 yards.
“Our defense gave the Lions nowhere to run and nowhere to pass ,” said West Kelowna coach Chris Smith, “as the D line of Nate Humes, Jesse Sligtr, Spencer Lindholm, Nick Kopp, Mark Schuppener dominated the line of scrimmage while timely interceptions by Hunter Desson and Chris Smith shut down the Lions passing attack.” The Sun Devils, who are 10-1 this season, will travel to Vancouver Island this weekend to take on the Victoria Renegades in the B.C. semifinal.

The importance of proper estate planning The importance of proper estate planning cannot be overstated. Estate planning is the act of planning out your financial, legal, and other affairs in ways to ensure that your wishes are followed when you pass away or when you become incapable of making these important decisions on your own. Depending on your needs, your estate planning may be limited to a Will, or it may include a variety of other documents, including: Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Representation Agreements. Estate planning may appear to be simple because clients know what they want; however, there are often complex issues that can only be spotted by an experienced estate planning lawyer. These issues have to be considered in order to put your plan in place. How you want to structure your affairs will depend on, and often be made more complex by many factors, such as: • your health status and mental capability (e.g. mental health issues, diminished capacity, disabilities, vulnerabilities); • the type of assets you have (e.g. land, bank accounts, business assets, personal assets); • the people you want to benefit or exclude (e.g. family, friends, charities); • the individuals you want to care for (e.g. children, elderly, mentally disabled persons); the family dynamics in place (e.g. common-law or legal marriage, blended family, second marriage, children, step-children); • the potential challenges made by other individuals to change your estate plan after death (e.g. challenges by spouses or adult children); • the applicable law that may affect your estate plan (e.g. company law, tax law, family law and Wills Variation legislation); and • the long-term goals you want to achieveThe above is by no means an exhaustive list, but is meant to provide a sampling of issues that estate planning lawyers must consider in preparing your estate plan. In forming a plan, both positive and negative contingencies need to be considered. Estate planning lawyers can anticipate many of the future issues which can arise and advise on an estate plan that deals with these contingencies in a way that is satisfactory to you. It is always important to review your plans at least every few years to confirm that they
still adequately reflect your wishes given your present circumstances. Without having spoken with an estate planning lawyer, you will not know what issues could render your estate plan vulnerable or invalid. Without proper estate planning, estate litigation could be the unfortunate result. Estate litigation typically arises after the estate planner has passed away or has become incapable, leaving the litigation on the shoulders of family members and those left behind. Not only can these disputes take years to resolve, but they are often financially and emotionally draining and may have significant negative impacts on the families involved. Be cautious of estate planning tools that appear to be “one-size-fits-all.” Proper estate planning is more than filling in the blanks about who gets what. The estate planning lawyers at McQuarrie Hunter LLP will work with you to develop a plan that reflects your instructions and circumstances, and does its best to protect your estate plan from challenges in the future. Most important, proper estate planning gives you the peace of mind knowing that your affairs are well-organized and “in order”. If you need assistance in creating an estate plan or would like more information, please contact, Kim Floeck or Allison Catherwood of McQuarrie Hunter LLP at 604-581-7001.

A legacy of giving In 1997, Kate decided to make a bequest for undergraduate awards in Medicine: “I couldn’t give a gift in real time, so I thought an estate gift was a good solution,” she explains. “It takes an organization like UBC to find a cure for major diseases like cancer, which is prevalent in our family. If I could contribute towards a cure, even in some small way—well, that would be awesome.” Kate’s generosity inspired her husband and daughter, who are also members of the UBC community, to follow suit. Robert is an alumnus who has worked in

As Development Liaison Officer for UBC’s Development and Alumni Engagement, Kate Bush knows firsthand how estate gifts to the University help shape the experience of students through financial aid, academic opportunities, and extracurricular initiatives. “Supporting students and research is such a thrill. I can’t work in a place if I’m not passionate about the cause.” Plant Operations at UBC for almost 34 years while Laura works in Campus and Community Planning and is pursuing her degree at UBC part time. As a graduate of Physical Education, Robert plans to leave his bequest to the Athletics Department while Laura’s gift is currently undesignated, so it can be put towards the area of greatest need. “Students come to UBC to figure out who they are,” explains Laura. “You never know—you could be sitting next to someone who cures a major disease, produces a great composition or becomes the next Olympic champion. Students have so much potential, so why not support them?” Kate, Robert and Laura all agree that financial need shouldn’t bar any student from university. “If my gift helps someone gain access to higher education, that would be great,” says Laura. “People who undertake university on their own, without the help of parents or scholarship money, have a really hard time,” says Kate. “I like the idea of making someone’s life a little easier.” “Besides,” adds Robert, “you never know. The money you put towards UBC could benefit you in ways you never thought possible.”
I always wanted to go into medicine and this bursary has helped me reach my goals. I’d really like to practise medicine in a smaller community after graduation, so the new Southern Medical Program is ideal for me. I have the opportunity to learn from doctors who know firsthand the unique challenges of delivering health care in smaller communities. This of local patients when I’m a practising physician and will make it easier to stay long-term in a small community. I’m so grateful that there are people out there like Jacqueline Dahm who, through their generous gifts, are contributing to making students’ dreams achievable. – Lyndsay Sprigg, Southern Medical Program MD student Jacqueline Dahm expressed her passion for community with a bequest to UBC, which continues to ensure vital funding for students in the Southern Medical Program.

Spanish guitarist to hit opening note to Minds & Music series ALAN RINEHART kicks off this season’s Minds and Music concert series Wednesday, Nov. 28, at UBCO’s University Centre ballroom. CONTRIBUTED
The 2012-13 Minds and Music concert series kicks off on Nov. 28 with Alan Rinehart, a world-renowned performer, teacher and music editor. The concert and discussion features early Spanish guitar music of the 16th to early 19th centuries. Rinehart will make an encore appearance at Minds and Music on Jan. 23.
“It is particularly exciting for me to be able to present the first two concerts in the context of the history of the guitar in Spain and Latin America,” said Rinehart. “The guitar has long been associated with Spain and South America, but most people don’t realize how far back that association reaches.” The first concert will
THE FINGERPRINTS OF CHRIST This week I was looking for Youtube videos and I typed into the search bar on the website, “Children videos.” I expected to get cute videos with cartoons and songs; instead the top video that came up was called “Child of Rage.” It was a 45-minute documentary using real recorded therapy sessions about a child named Beth. Beth had been adopted along with her younger brother by a nice Methodist minister and his wife in the south of the United States. Shortly after the adoption, Beth’s new parents realized that something was very wrong with their little girl. She would often hurt her brother and their cats. Soon she was hiding knives and her parents feared for the life of their son as well as their own. Beth suffered from Reactive Attachment Disorder. At one year of age, she had been so badly abused by her birth father that Beth lost the ability to trust anyone. She didn’t like people around her, she was emotionally unable to connect to anyone and she no longer understood right from wrong. In fact, she lacked a conscience at all. As I watched the interviews with her and her family, I went through so many emotions: anger at the abuser, sadness for this family and for the little girl who was so damaged by the evil of others, and I found myself wondering where God was in this story. Wondering why these things persisted - what was God doing about it? By the middle of the documentary I was ready to turn it off but something told me to keep watching. As I did, something truly amazing happened. The minister and his wife had never stopped praying. They never wondered ‘why them’. They had fear but didn’t try to give their daughter back; instead, they walked with her on this journey and found her the help she needed. By the end of the documentary, Beth was recovering, connecting, understanding right from wrong, and able to trust people again. Suddenly I realized: there was
God! Faithful, ever present, creating good out of a horrible situation. Healing and making whole a little girl, and more than that, an entire family who had been ripped apart by fear and tragedy. I think many people would look at that story and see only the bad, or see only the therapists and interventionists, and yet I believe so strongly that the story and the little girl had the fingerprints of Jesus Christ all over it. Hebrews 7 says, “Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office”. The priests mentioned in this passage refer to the Levitical line of priests: mortal priests that served in the Temple and synagogues, teachers of the Law and rulers of the people. These priests offered the sacrifices for the people but they were no different than the people themselves. They too needed to offer sacrifices to be cleansed of their sin. They too had a broken relationship with God and needed a high priest to intercede for them. They lived in a world where horrific things happened as well and sin was all too evident, as it is in our time through stories like young Beth’s. Creation fell when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Humanity fell and became twisted from its original intent; so twisted that sometimes we can feel like nothing and no one will be able to put our lives or our world back together again. The priests tried and tried, sacrifice after sacrifice, priest after priest, yet the result was the same: the curse of death still held. I used to wonder why God put in place the covenant based on law and good behavior when He knew that the people could not possibly live up to it. But the reason He did this was to show the people that their behavior, even if it was good, even if they did their best to follow all of God’s commands, even if they sacrificed all the grain and meat that they were supposed to, would not be enough. You see, God was preparing them for the Messiah. God was preparing them to see Jesus as the true
High Priest, the one that could truly save them. Hebrews says, “[Jesus] has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.” Jesus Christ is our High Priest as well. He is the healer of your every ill. Even in the midst of sin and darkness and pain, He is working in your life to show you how He cares for you and lifts you up. We suffer because of our sin but we are not left in that place. You do not have to work for your salvation and you do not have to be perfect. You need only believe that Jesus Christ truly takes you into His loving embrace and stands for you in judgment, so that you will be seen as Holy and Blameless before God. Christ’s fingerprints are etched on your story. Jesus Christ came for the world but always remember that He would have come even if you were the only one, and He will always hold you… In His Grip, Pastor Karen Seifert We gather for worship at 9:30 am and 10:30 am Sunday mornings.

be in three sections, starting with the quietly majestic and ethereal court music of the 16th century through the melodically appealing baroque period and into the great classical golden age of the early 19th century, notes Rinehart. “The second concert in January will feature some better known concert works by Albeniz, Tarrega (Spain), and some of the wonderful repertoire from South America by Brazilian Heitor Villa Lobos, Paraguayan Agustin Barrios, and Argentina’s Maximo Pujol,” he added. The organizer of the series, Manuela Ungureanu, says Rinehart’s appearances at UBC Okanagan compliments other upcoming events hosted by the Minds and Music concert series: The Year of
the Guitar, including a recital with celebrated guitarist Daniel Bolshoy on March 8.

sustainable living is getting the message out to people in interesting, fun, and memorable ways. “By giving people the chance to learn through art about the precious and unique qualities of
Okanagan living, we hope to make them more sustainable members of their communities.” The open house will be held on Saturday, Dec. 1, from 1 to 4 p.m., at the Justice Institute of B.C. (JIBC) Okanagan campus, 825 Walrod St. Residents are invited to share their stories, history, concerns and experiences of the neighbourhood, and will be asked their thoughts on what they would communicate to newcomers to the area. Students will also share their work in progress and hope to get feedback. The open house is a free, family-friendly public event with complimentary snacks and refreshments. This event is sponsored by the Eco Art Incubator research initiative of UBC and by the Kelowna Downtown Neighbourhood Association.

Local yoga studios ‘om’ for the holidays
For the first time ever, yoga studios across the Central Okanagan have f joined together in an initiative to make yoga more s accessible for the community. Just in time for the t holidays and the impending resolution season, the Okanagan Community Yoga Pass or ‘One Pass’ y is on sale now through Jan. 15, and will be accepted at all major yoga studio’s in Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon. Books of 10 passes can be purchased for $130 from www.yogawarehouse.ca and picked up from Lululemon on Bernard and other select local businesses. This is the first time e yoga studios in the Okanagan worked together on a project like this. “As a region, we’ve had to navigate through some pretty tough times
these last few years. It’s no secret that yoga has become increasingly popular, I think because it offers people the opportunity to feel better, not just physically but mentally and emotionally,” said Chelsea Ray whose community yoga web portal, Yoga Warehouse, launched the One Pass initiative. “I am thrilled that all the studios have joined together non-competitively because this really is about giving more people the chance to get on the mat and find out what kind of yoga is right for them.” And there are many choices…Hot yoga, Ashtanga, Anusara, Vinyasa Flow, Moksha, Iyengar, Restorative, Yin, Hatha. With so many different styles, it can be overwhelming and expensive

for a new yoga student. The One Pass allows budding yogi’s to testdrive the options, to find a studio and a teacher that fits them. “There is a yoga class for every body,’ said Ray. “From athletes to boomers, men and mommies, yoga helps you get stronger and fitter, recover from injuries or cope with chronic conditions, all
while reducing stress and contributing to an overall healthier lifestyle.’ Just in time for the holidays, passes have been designed to easily slip into the average stocking, and are valid until Aug. 15, 2013.

Pasquale Alimonti immigrated to the United States from Italy in 1910, initially connecting with relatives in Ohio and Pennsylvania which led him to work at jobs in local area steel mills and coal mines. He met Louis Constantine in Pennsylvania and they moved to Kelowna in 1911 or 1912, where they worked in the local fields and later for the Kettle Valley Railway. Joseph Alimonti immigrated to Kelowna in 1913, joining his father to work on the railway above the Kelowna area. Joseph was drafted into the military in November 1917 and was enlisted in Victoria on Jan. 7, 1918. He was discharged in October 1919 after having served in Canada, En-
gland and France. In 1920, Pasquale’s wife Domenica and their daughters Francesca and Lucia joined him in Kelowna. At the time, Pasquale Alimonti and Pasquale Barrera owned property on Rutland Road with Domenica, Francesca and Lucia growing vegetables and raising some animals. Joseph Alimonti and Louis Constantine worked on the Belgo Dam and Irrigation project. Constantine would marry Lucy and they went on their own, while Barrera married Francesca. Alimonti and the Barreras sold the farm and the Barreras settled on a new property in Mission Creek. In 1925, Joseph married Rosa Culos and

moved to a home on KLO Road. Domenica had passed away in 1923 so Pasquale joined his son Joseph and daughter-in-law Rosa and remained living and working on the family farm until his death in 1951. In about 1927-28, Joseph purchased a farm (11.5 acres) on Benvoulin Road across from the Father Pandosy Mission. The back, northwest area of the property bordered the site where Father Pandosy was buried, marked with a cross, and is the current site of a memorial chapel. Besides growing vegetables for market and selling cream to the Kelowna Creamery, Joseph also worked for Casorso Ranches, was a water bailiff for the Mission Creek system and worked with other farmers in the area when needed as the local pioneers came together to get through the lean 1930s. Joseph and Rosa had three children born on this property, a son Dominico (Nick) and two daughters

The family belonged to the Immaculate Conception Parish, attending regular services, and the Canadian Italian Club, located on Casorso Road with the family joining all the functions. In 1944, with the children getting older and needing a larger place to make a living, Joseph sold the Benvoulin property and purchased the 60-acre Frank Bell Ranch on Old Vernon Road in Ellison. He farmed there until poor health forced him to

Gratitude continues to shape OC’s Pay it Forward campaign
Eight years ago, while she was a student at Okanagan College, Sarah Comba found herself distributing socks, mitts and gloves she had collected to homeless people behind Kelowna’s Gospel Mission. When a 60-year-old man only wanted to accept one of the two pairs of socks she was offering him “because there might be someone else who might need that other pair,” something twigged in Comba and the notion for a focused campaign was born. “That was him paying it forward; thinking of someone else’s welfare,” Comba said. “I realized that if each person just gave one small thing, it would mean a lot to people who can use help.” With support from the College’s Alumni Association and some enthusiastic employees, students and friends, the annual giving campaign has

other way. “I remember last year when we opened up one of the Pay It Forward bags we found a bunch of infant clothes,” she said. “We don’t get a lot of infants here. We mostly see men. But then I realized we had a single dad at our dental clinic right in that moment who had his baby with him. “We quickly packaged up those clothes, and when we presented it to him, he started to cry. “That’s how these donations impact people. They’re saying: Someone cared.” That kindness will be appreciated more than ever this year. Demand at the Mission jumped as soon as the temperature dipped, and ever since the Inn from the Cold opened its doors Nov. 1, the organization has been operating at or above its 35-person capacity; something it hasn’t seen before. Usually the demand

persisted and hundreds of people have been helped. Two consistent recipients are Kelowna’s Gospel Mission and Inn from the Cold—Kelowna. This year, the Pay It Forward campaign runs from Nov. 19 to 30 at the Kelowna campus, with a particular focus on encouraging more people (especially Comba’s fellow alumni, current students and members of the public) to participate. And while Comba may be the public face of Pay It Forward, it’s clear to those on the receiving end that this is about bringing to mind those faces the public seldom
sees. “It isn’t about the recognition for her,” said Tara Tschritter, the coordinator for Inn from the Cold— Kelowna. “In fact, we get to see her for a few minutes each year. We have a chance to say thank you and we will write a note later, but we really don’t do much else, so you know it isn’t about recognition. It truly is about helping other people.” Kelowna’s Gospel Mission spokeswoman Ami Catriona agrees, adding it always amazes her how the donations spread a message of support that can’t be expressed in any

Comba knows that the donations aren’t just helping the homeless. A significant portion of those who turn to Kelowna’s Gospel Mission are working poor who can’t make meager ends meet, she notes. Years after graduating
from Okanagan College, why does she keep organizing and pushing Pay it Forward, a campaign launched by an idealistic student? “At heart, I am a strong believer in being a kind person and helping where I am able.” Those interested in taking part in this year’s Pay It Forward campaign are being asked to contribute softly used or new

Donations can be dropped off at Okanagan College from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in front of the Athletics and Recreation office inside the Student Services Building, or in the International Education office in the Centre for Learning building on the Kelowna campus.

The new sidewalks taking shape on Bernard Avenue offer the first visible clues to how the street is changing to become a more attractive and exciting “people place.” As Phase 1 of the revitalization project nears completion, the first sections of new sidewalks are in place. The wider sidewalks are among the most important changes happening during this $14-million project. “The overall vision for Bernard Avenue is to make it safer and more inviting for pedestrians to get around and spend time exploring the area,” said Pat McCormick of the city’s infrastructure planning department. The generous seven-metre-wide sidewalks include textural and visual cues to create three distinct “zones” with specific purposes: • The middle zone is a two-metre-wide, unobstructed corridor for pedestrian movement. • A furnishing zone for benches, trees and lights is located between the middle zone and the road. • A merchants’ display zone lies between the middle zone and the buildings. In the interest of making the street accessible to everyone, the textural

by Zach M.
Abstract
by Jenny R.
Within the Fine Arts, Central Students have the option to take Visual Art 10, 11, 12, Media Arts, or Photography at the grade 11 and 12 level. In Photography, student projects include working with Aperture and Shutter Priority modes, a variety of creative lighting techniques, and thematic approaches to creating imagery. Some of the students’ favourite projects include Painting with Light, and High-Key photo shoots. To “Paint with Light”, students must learn to slow their shutter down for durations of up to 15 seconds to capture the motion of the light within their frame. This is a challenging project as it requires many rehearsals of “painting” the light where it is required, while at the same time trying to get a quality exposure. With High-Key photography, students play with ISO as well as white balance to achieve a bright, white image while maintaining a good balance of positive and negative space. It is also critical for students to achieve detail, clarity of subject and attenFlower tion to shapes that Silhouette will be created when by the white areas blend Asia W. together.

hen we are feeling threatened by someone or something, we will
naturally defend ourselves to ensure our survival. This is a healthy and normal response.
During this period of high stress, our bodies will release neurochemicals that increase

our senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) to allow us to track and protect ourselves from the perceived threat. Our unconscious survival mechanisms kick into high gear, lowering our blood supply to vital organs and shunting blood supply to our extremities in case we need to run or fight. In effect, we become fully prepared for battle. After the threat has passed, we stop producing neurochemicals that are associated with survival and our bodies return to their natural resting state and our senses return to normal again. But there are times when trauma causes a malfunction of the threat mechanisms in the brain, causing the brain and body to go into a state of constant alert. Many factors can cause overstimulation of the threat mechanisms including chemical injury, bacteria, virus and emotional or psychological stress. When we are feeling
EMOTIONAL RESCUE
Annie Hopper threatened over a long period of time, our bodies learn to adapt to this unhealthy state, but at a large cost to our well-being. Functions like rest, digestion, elimination, communication and reproduction are no longer viewed as essential and get over shadowed by our need for protection. Our heightened sensory awareness becomes the norm and we may find ourselves more sensitive to common everyday stimuli. Slowly we learn to adapt to this state and change the way in which we live in order to accommodate the war within. And just like victims of war, we become shadows of our former selves. We adapt to this heightened level of threat

and over time, this inevitably changes the way we view the world. Our innocence is taken when we are forced to live our lives in survival. No longer the happygo-lucky people we once were, we turn into bitter pessimists. Happiness seems like a luxury that is only available to people who are still naive. Slowly we withdraw from society as our need for protection starts to invade every aspect of our existence. We even reach out to those who offer help but find ourselves feeling disillusioned time and time again when they are unable to help us. This leads to questioning our ability to trust. We are left feeling helpless and hopeless and often feel like invisible victims of a global war. Our minds are consumed with worry and a need to protect what little we have left of ourselves. This is what life is like for those who suffer from limbic system impair-

ments. The cascading physical effects of an impaired threat mechanism are very real and the suffering involved is horrendous. However, once the threat mechanisms are normalized again, the body can return to its natural state of growth and repair, allowing you to finally move forward in life again. If you or someone you know suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome, chemical sensitivities, fibromyalgia or any other limbic system impairment ,you will want to tell them that they do not have to live this way. My team and I will be conducting two three-day neuro rehabilitation programs in Kelowna, Dec. 7 to 9. These programs offer an opportunity for people to start to reclaim their lives and retrain the threat mechanism in your brain.

Snow White gets a modern make-over for Christmas Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
There’s a string of reasons why Snow White might make a great Christmas fairy tale production, but likely the best is to please a stage manager. After season on season of sold out performances, Theatre Kelowna Society has decided to make its holiday fairy tale a modern take on the Grimm’s Brothers classic at the request of a talented stage manager. “A lot of the shows TKS have done for Christmas have a fairy tale theme,” said Jeff Samin, production director. “… The Walt Disney creation everyone is familiar with is from 1937, so the music is typical of the 1930s, but this is just a more modern take; hence the Rockin’ Tale of Snow White.” The dwarves aren’t sleepy or dopey and the Mirror levels its judgment in a rap. Nevertheless, from the opening number—Snow White’s Hip-Hop Doo-Wop BeeBop Funky Little Rockin’ Tale—through the darkhaired beauty’s rhyming monologues, one can expect a pretty true-to-form production of the Snow White story, just with a little extra James Brown twist. Rather remarkably, given its volunteer nature, the production will run for two weeks and even Snow White, played by Okanagan Mission Secondary School Grade 11 student Alexa Cable, doesn’t have an understudy. “They have to love theatre. That’s a given. For some of them this might be the only chance they
get to do theatre all year, so they tend to suck it up pretty good,” said Samin. With a cast of 40 and a dozen crew, it’s a large enough production that, as final rehearsal wrapped this week, the kids had to kill time playing theatre games as the adults discussed the staging and last minute set design. The set is built by retired teacher Brian Haigh, whose faux-marble crypt is quite the sight, even without Snow White. If there’s a gem in this story, however, it’s sure to be the relationship between Snow White and the Queen, played by Candice Dyck. Though the characters clearly hate each other on stage, behind the scenes Dyck and Cable are thick as thieves, feeding off each other’s every word. Cable is in the same grade as Dyck’s younger sister—Dyck is a teacher on call in School District 23—and the pair take giggly to a new level, particularly once Prince Charm-

about to begin her school exams. “I’ll be so excited to see them in the audience. I know they’re coming.” For Dyck, the show itself is actually the source of the stress. “It’s been such a great experience to this point,” she said, admitting she’s now having nightmares about her songs. “I just don’t want to let anyone down,” she added. Cable has a little experience working a multishow theatrical run. She was in Viva Las Vegas with OKM last year and Beauty and the Beast in Alberta. To add to her list of accomplishments, and pressure for that matter, she also choreographed this show. Dyck, on the other hand, is taking her first round outside the chorus with actual lines. If off-stage hilarity is an indication of showmanship, they should be great on stage. And behind the scenes, Samin will be trying to make sure Zip, Flp, Tip, Pip and the other more bee-bopping dwarves hit their lines. A Rockin’ Tale of Snow White will run in the Kelowna Community Theatre beginning this Friday, Nov. 23 through Dec. 2. Evening shows begin at 7:30 p.m. and run Nov. 23 and 24, Nov. 28 and 30 and Dec. 1. Matinee performances at 2 p.m. will be held on Nov. 24 and 25 and Dec. 1 and 2.

That grabbed my attention too. You would learn about creating a relaxing environment through the use of supportive conversation and a variety of multi-sensory items such as bubble tubes, music, and fibre-optics. You would show up at Mountainview Village on KLO Road, meet a resident at their room and take them to the Snoezelen Therapy Room for a 15 to 25 minute visit. Are you saying to yourself, “Yes, I could do that.” Perhaps you are more interested in small groups
and helping staff with planned activities. As an Adult Day Services Volunteer, you would greet people, mingle, provide a helping hand and serve refreshments.

BASED UPON the novel by CanadianYann Martel, the visually stunning Life of Pi opens in theatres this weekend. Alfonso Cuarón and JeanPierre Jeunet all attached to the project at one point. The director’s ob eventually went to Academy Award-winner Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain), who has experience with telling strong stories (Eat Drink Man Woman, Sense and Sensibility) as well as special effect extravaganzas (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hulk). It is the story of Pi, a 16-year-old who is the precocious son of a zoo keeper. When his family decides to move from India to Canada, they and their menagerie of animals board a huge freighter which sinks during the
journey. The only human survivor, Pi finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean on a lifeboat with a zebra, hyena, orangutan and a 450-pound Bengal tiger and together they have an epic journey of adventure and discovery. Lee has assembled an international cast for this special effects extravaganza which critics are comparing to Avatar as a must see in 3D. Rise of the Guardians is DreamWorks Animation’s latest and expect yet another high-quality animated adventure from the studio that created Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon.
Based on William Joyce’s The Guardians of Childhood book series it tells the story of The Guardians, which consists of Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and the Sandman, who must enlist the help of the irresponsible Jack Frost to help protect the children of the world from the evil Nightmare King. Featuring the voices of Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher and Jude Law, it promises to become yet another Christmas classic. 1984’s Red Dawn was definitely not the See Davis B4

Would it not be your best day if Steven Spielberg called and said you had a starring role in an upcoming movie, and oh yes, you had to gain 25 pounds for the part? Well, that’s exactly what happened to Sally Field, who plays Mary Todd Lincoln in Spielberg’s new film, Lincoln. She joined a stellar cast that includes Daniel Day-Lewis, as Lincoln, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as son Robert Lincoln, Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens, David Strathairn as William Seward, Hal Holbrooke as Preston Blair (from which we get Blair House, the U.S. vice-president’s residence today), James Spader and others in this incredible epic. This is so well done, that while the actors are made to look like the characters they play, it wouldn’t matter if no make-up was used. The sheer acting, the sets, the story itself takes us away to a dark time in American history and we are caught up in the saga just
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen as surely as if we had been there. Lincoln is a man wrestling with a multitude of angst—grief on the loss of his son; the abhorrence of slavery which has split the country; and the war itself, which has lasted for four years and has killed hundreds of thousands of Union and Rebel soldiers. Add to that a wife who is not terribly mentally stable and the chaos that was the politics of the time. In his second term in office, Lincoln ended the war and abolished slavery, but at a huge price and we see the ravages of the burden of office on him as the film progresses. Yes, this is an American story, brought out at the time of their Thanksgiving and when the country has elected a black president for a
second term—Abe would be proud! And it shows us all yet again, that all men are created equal, with liberty and freedom for all. Lincoln was assassinated and died at 7:22 a.m. on April 15 in 1865 at age 56, but here are a few things you may not have known about him: • Lincoln’s stovepipe hat served to store his notes, letters and bills • Lincoln was born in 1809 and stood 6-foot4 tall and he is still the U.S.’s tallest president • Lincoln was the first president to sport a beard • Lincoln had a dream about his assassination which he shared with his body guard days before his death. In an odd twist of fate, Abe’s son Robert witnessed the assassination of another president, James Garfield, was at the same World’s Fair where U.S. president William McKinley was assassinated and he was saved from a train accident by Edwin Booth, the older brother of John Wilkes Booth, his father’s assassin. Mary Todd Lincoln,
one of the most unpopular First Ladies in American history, and played ▼ so very well here by Field, was emotional, outspoken and a lavish spender. In later years, her son Robert had her committed to an asylum. She was released a short time later, but never reconciled with him. She herself died of a stroke in 1882 at the age of 63. Abe’s son Robert Lincoln lived well into W the new century and died S in 1926. These were real people, living in an awful i r time and whom history has elevated because M of their beliefs and their deeds—deeds, which for- a ever changed the course t of the United States of America. As Lincoln said:w “We begin with equality.” S This is a must see for u history buffs, Lincoln fans and anyone who wants to n s see acting at its best. I give Lincoln five t reels. s

Red Dawn no stronger than original Davis from B3 greatest movie ever made, but it really had an impact on our society. In launched the careers of Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey and Charlie Sheen in the story of a group of young adults fighting off Soviet invaders. It was so influential that the campaign
which led to the capture of Saddam Hussein was named Operation Red Dawn and it is also common to see it referenced in TV shows, movies and videogames. In the remake, the Soviets are replaced by invading North Koreans and the new cast includes stars like Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger
Games) and Tom Cruise’s son Connor. Like the original, a group of young adults form a band of guerrillas called The Wolverines to fight off the invaders. In my opinion, remaking Red Dawn is comparable to the remakes of Footloose and Fright Night last year and hopefully stops anyone from trying to remake
l other ’80s movies. i Sometimes the memv ory of some of these movr ies is better than what they actually were and remaking them reminds us t e of their weaknesses. p t m Rick Davis is the p general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8. m gm@landmarkcinemas.ca

▼ MASTER PLAN
West Kelowna seeks to define local culture Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Community, vibrant, growth, dynamic, welcoming and heritage are some of the most common words residents say should appear in West Kelowna’s Cultural Master Plan vision statement. They also want more theatre, recreation, music and art options, more cultural venues and more collaboration with Westbank First Nation. Greg Baeker, of Millier Dickinson Blais, has been working on the district’s first Cultural Master Plan since September, and he provided council Tuesday with an update on the project. The goal of the 10-year plan is to give West Kelowna a guiding document for the development of cultural services and determination of cultural priorities. So far, Baeker has made several observations through discussions with focus groups, online survey submissions and interviews. A recurring theme is that the Westside is lacking a unique cultural identity, especially when juxtaposed with Kelowna. Baeker suggested it’s in the district’s best interest to focus on cultural development as it can lead to much-needed economic development. “If we build communities in which people want to live and work, business and investment follow,” said Baeker. Coun. David Knowles said it’s important the public is aware of the economic benefits behind promoting culture. “The emphasis on culture-led economic development (is) the key, and that’s the part a lot of our residents don’t understand.” Coun. Bryden Winsby noted the district may have to make significant investments in culture to experience economic benefits. “I’m concerned that we’re simply going to do a cultural development plan because we think we should, and at the end of the day it won’t mean much unless we have clearly delineated what we are prepared as a community to invest in cultural development. And I don’t see it yet,” said Winsby. Mayor Doug Findlater said there are higher financial priorities on the district’s list than cultural investments, but he said work can be done to make better use of what the community already has. “Money is a huge (factor) as a young municipality. We have artisans and an artistic community here, but it’s not organized in any way,” said Findlater. “I think we could play a role in creating a network and helping people organize.” A forum to gather more public input on the cultural plan was scheduled to take place Wednesday night. Residents are also invited to submit their thoughts on cultural development at districtofwestkelowna.ca. Entries will be accepted until Dec. 10. The completed plan is scheduled to come back to council for approval in April 2013.

Secondary suite bylaw vote delayed Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The vote to give third reading to a bylaw amendment that will eliminate the need for owner occupancy in West Kelowna houses with secondary suites has been delayed. But the likely result is already known. Despite a handful of letters opposing the clause to remove the owner occupancy requirement and a few residents voicing concerns at a public hearing last month, council will likely go ahead with third reading. The decision was part of Tuesday’s agenda; however, it was deferred due to the absence of Coun. David Knowles. Mayor Doug Findlater, Coun. Duane Ophus SKIP n rink to a/Verno Kelown f the Rogers lo the fina f Curling o rs te s a M nt last lam eve Grand S d. weeken

Duane Ophus
and Coun. Gord Milsom indicated they would vote in favour of third reading while councillors Carol Zanon, Rick de Jong and Bryden Winsby said they would be opposed. With Knowles—who has voiced support for the bylaw amendment in the past—absent, council voted to defer the decision until next council meeting, rather than having a est
tie vote and scrapping the amendment. During last month’s public hearing, West Kelowna resident Morris Leroux said the bylaw amendment is “a real betrayal to the citizens.” Zanon said she agreed with the letters from the public that showed concern about the amendment changing the character of the community.
“I do believe it is changing the face of neighbourhoods that were never designed to have a duplex type arrangement and I think that this is not the proper way to go,” said Zanon. During Tuesday’s meeting, Ophus noted the district has mechanisms in place to deal with problems that may arise from the change. N RD. 7

Milsom added a permissive policy will help create more affordable housing options within the community. “I don’t believe the district should interfere with the residential real estate market by having a restrictive policy that demands owner occupancy,” said Milsom. The mayor pointed out several municipalities surrounding West Kelowna don’t have the owner occupancy requirement. “It’s not a unique arrangement to remove the requirement for owner occupancy,” said Findlater. “We’re simply becoming consistent with what Kelowna and Lake Country and other (municipalities) in the valley have.”

Negotiating legal minefield Repeat robbery suspect arrested between WorkSafe, ICBC
▼ CRIME
Mounties arrested an armed robbery suspect this week who they believe to be responsible for a series or recent robberies across the Central Okanagan. On Nov. 20, 4:20 p.m., the West Kelowna RCMP received a report of a robbery that had just occurred at The Wine Store, located at 2130 Louie Dr. Previous to that incident, a series of robberies in Kelowna and West Kelowna had occurred within the previous two weeks, prompting
a police investigation. That investigation led police to identify a potential suspect, who they had begun to keep tabs on. That surveillance led them to arrest the suspect after the West Kelowna business robbery on Tuesday, apprehending the individual after a short pursuit on foot. An RCMP member sustained undisclosed, non-life threatening injuries during the chase, although the police said the officer was not assaulted by the suspect.
The investigation is ongoing and police believe the suspect to be responsible for a number of other robberies in the area. The 37-year-old West Kelowna man remains in police custody at this time and was expected to appear in court on Wednesday to face potential charges of robbery with an offensive weapon and disguising his face with intent to commit a criminal offence. More charges may be recommended pending completion of the investigation.
Major upgrades to Westside Road coming
Driving through Westside Road is about to become safer upon completion of a major infrastructure upgrade, said Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart. The Liberal MLA said the project involves the re-aligning, widening, shouldering and installation of barriers for a to-
tal of approximately two kilometres at two separate sections of Westside Road. The project will include re-alignment of 280 metres of narrow two-lane road with two inferior curves, the replacement of a 600 mm culvert at Cinnabar Creek; and repaving of Westside Road, ap-
proximately 18 km from the Highway 97 intersection on the west shore of Okanagan Lake. The total cost of the project is $4.5 million. Stewart said the project will improve safety by removing 30 km/ hr curves, widening the roadway to include paved shoulders and installing
concrete barriers. Paving is scheduled to be completed by April 2013. Subject to paving plant availability, the entire project is due to be completed by May 2013. “These projects will make a significant difference for drivers in West Kelowna,” Stewart explained. “The demands of a fast-growing community have taken their toll on infrastructure designed for far fewer people.” Now you can use the Internet to add your own non-profit event to the Capital News Stuff to Do.

he name change, from WCB to WorkSafeBC wasn’t enough to wipe away the very bad taste in my mouth that arose from helping injured workers struggle for WCB benefits early on in my legal career. I stopped accepting WCB claims years ago. Having no recourse to a court of law to force the worker’s compensation insurance monster to play fair became too frustrating for me. Perhaps I was stuck with the raw end of an otherwise caring and fair bureaucracy. Perhaps all has become sunshine and blue sky for workers over the years. I hope so. It has been over four years since I wrote about the interplay between the worker’s compensation system and ICBC claims. I was prompted to write again about the subject having been consulted twice in the last week about that interplay. The worker’s compensation system in British Columbia provides benefits to workers who are injured while “in the course of employment.” Simply put, if you are injured on the job and lose income or incur treatment expense, you are entitled to benefits from WorkSafeBC. It doesn’t matter whose fault it was. It might have been your fault, your employer’s

ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott fault, a co-worker’s fault, or someone else’s fault. All that matters is that you were injured while working. These benefits are sometimes referred to as “no-fault” benefits. If your injury happened to be due to the negligence of a co-worker or employer, it doesn’t matter how egregious the negligence might have been—you can’t hold them accountable with a lawsuit. Worker/worker and worker/employer injury lawsuits are barred in the province of British Columbia. To put that into the context of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle collision, let’s say that you are a delivery person making a delivery. You are a worker in the course of your employment. If your delivery vehicle is involved in a crash while you are making the delivery and you suffer injuries, you are entitled to claim income loss and rehabilitation benefits through WorkSafeBC regardless of who was at fault in the crash. Let’s say the crash was due to the negligence
of another person who is on the job, such as a taxi driver. If so, your recourse is solely with WorkSafeBC because of the bar against worker/worker injury lawsuits. On the other hand, if the offending driver was not in the course of employment, you will have a choice. You can pursue your WorkSafeBC benefits or you can pursue a claim against the offending driver (against ICBC) the same as if you had not been working at the time of the crash. Typically, my recommendation is to file a claim application with WorkSafeBC and then to pursue the ICBC claim. By filing the claim application against WorkSafeBC you leave your options open. You can change your mind at any time and collect whatever WorkSafeBC benefits were available to you. There are various factors, though, that can come into play. My recommendation is not always “typical.” If you have been injured in a crash while you were a worker in the course of employment, make sure you seek legal advice to help you make the right decision for you.

▼ BUSINESS SYMPOSIUM
Westbank chamber ready to focus on making ‘progressive changes’ Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
There’s a new sense of optimism among directors of the Westbank and District Chamber of Commerce. According to Norm LeCavalier, first vice-president of the Westbank Chamber, that’s likely because several changes are currently underway. “We’re just basically trying to re-align the focus of the chamber to provide support to the membership, which we feel had been missing for a few years,” said LeCavalier. “The group we’ve got now—the directors and some of our key support committee people—are very keen to get a feel from the business community of what’s missing.” One lacking aspect was the amount of opportunities for mem-
bers to network. The Fall Business Symposium, held Nov. 15 at Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary, was one of the chamber’s solutions to fill that gap. About 20 exhibitors took part in the first annual event, which was held in the high school’s atrium. “We thought it would be a great idea to start getting the students engaged; two of our members of the board of directors really felt this would be an ideal spot.” LeCavalier said he was impressed with the interest to set up a booth at the symposium. He noted the location may have to change next year to accommodate the demand. Perhaps the biggest change is the chamber’s fresh relationship it is building with the District of West Kelowna. On Thursday, Nov. 8, all mem-
bers of West Kelowna council attended the chamber’s November Business After Hours event. LeCavalier noted the turnout was an encouraging sign the relationship between the two is improving. “The mayor and I have been meeting regularly and we’re really working collaboratively on a number of items.” Coun. Rick de Jong was also expected to attend the symposium and speak with exhibitors Thursday afternoon. “We’re pleased with the way people are responding and how things are coming together. We’re looking forward to more progressive changes with the chamber,” LeCavalier said.

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.
