Residents facing fees to park outside homes

The city’s plan to start charging residents who park on the street outside their homes if they live on roads with time-restricted parking will start Feb. 1. City council approved the timing Monday, after giving the plan the nod last summer. Under the plan, residents will have to pay $30 per year for a set of parking permits if they live on streets where there are time restrictions posted for parking. Lost permits will cost $5 to replace. The areas covered by the plan include the North End (around Prospera Place), east of downtown up to Gordon Drive, the neighbourhood surrounding Kelowna General Hospital, as well as the areas around Kelowna Secondary School and Okanagan College on KLO and the Landmark office tower complex across Highway 97 from the Parkinson Recreation Centre. The permits will allow residents to park and be exempt from the time restrictions, which the city

Julia Courtney uses a magnifying glass to identify the snow on her mitten at the inaugural Explore the Snow event held last weekend at Mission Creek Regional Park.
A Kelowna judge has thrown out drug charges against a Lake Country man, citing court backlogs as the reason. It is the second documented time in a year that the judge has stayed charges because the court system couldn’t accommodate a trial in a timely fashion. In the most recent decision, published online late last week, Judge Robin Smith stayed charges related to a 341-plant marijuana grow operation after noting the accused had his June 2012 trial date cancelled because the courtroom his case was to be heard in was overbooked. “Both sides were ready, willing and able to get a much earlier first trial date, but there were insufficient judicial resources to have the matter heard on the first trial date,” wrote Smith. Smith said it is common practice to triple book courtrooms, anticipating some of the cases will “collapse” prior to trial, as a way to deal with “limited judicial resources.” In this case, the accused’s trial was cancelled because another “more urgent” case was also slated to occur that day, said Smith. A second trial was booked for this month, nearly two years after lawyers indicated they were ready to go to trial. However, Smith instead stayed the charges after defence successfully argued the accused’s Charter right to a trial within a reasonable time had been violated. “This 21.5 month delay from arraignment is singularly caused by insufficient judicial resources,” wrote Smith. A Supreme Court of Canada decision, considered to be one of the authorities on what is considered a “reasonable” length of time to get to trial, suggests an “institutional delay” of eight to 10 months be the guideline for judges considering what’s an acceptable delay. “My overall impression is that over time, the courts have allowed longer and longer institutional delays,” wrote Smith. “This is primarily because judges, just like mem-

MARCHING to the beat of their drums were protesters last Friday morning, in support of the Idle No More movement that has spread among First Nations across Canada.

Idle No More protest movement reaches West Kelowna Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The beat of drums could be heard in Westbank Centre just after 11 a.m. Friday as supporters of the Idle No More movement marched from the Royal Bank of Canada parking lot toward the intersection of Main Street and Old Okanagan Highway. Leading the pack was Westbank First Nation member Roxanne Lindley. She took it upon herself to organize the peaceful protest, which took place at the same time as Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s meeting with First Nations leaders in Ottawa. About 100 people of various ethnicities stood in support of the grassroots movement. Messages on the signs being held by protestors ranged from “No Pipeline” to “Water is Life.” Lindley is strongly against Bill C-45, which she said will have a detrimental impact on water sources. The omnibus budget bill, which was passed through Senate Dec. 14,

THE INTERSECTION of Main Street and Old Okanagan Highway was the gathering point for a protest in support of a grassroots direct action movement among First Nations people demanding greater recognition from the federal government. 2012, includes policy changes to the Indian Act, Navigation Protection Act and Environmental Assessment Act. “We have a special relationship with Mother Earth. That’s what we’re all here to say: We’re here to protect…that’s our responsibility,” said Lindley. “Direct action is critical. That’s how we create awareness, that’s how we create education, that’s
how we tell everybody out there…this is for all mankind.” Lindley said she didn’t have high expectations of Friday’s meeting between the prime minister and First Nations leaders. “A lot of these people (at the rally) are very detached from that political arena. They’re here because of the land, water and the air. When you carry those values you will always be detached
from politics because the politics aren’t there to protect that stuff.” Gilly Alook stood in the circle of demonstrators, beating his drum and singing. He said he was proud to see how many came out to show their support. “It affects all of us, whether you’re First Nations or not, it affects each and every individual that’s on Mother Earth,” said Alook.
“We’re all here for a purpose: To protect what we stand on, to make sure we have good water, we have land, we have our four-legged and our winged ones. “Every part of what our creator has created is a part of why we are here today.” According to Alook, the Idle No More movement will probably continue for “as long as it takes to be recognized
and acknowledged.” “We’re fighting for the cause because of all the things that have been passed without the aboriginal people being a part of it.” WFN Chief Robert Louie showed his support of the movement through a statement released Thursday afternoon. “Westbank First Nation is proud of the efforts of our members to assist First Nations across Can-
ada in their fight to be recognized,” said Louie. “The collective actions of the movement have drawn the attention of the country to the inherent rights of First Nations people, including the right to govern our reserve lands and to be consulted and accommodated in matters affecting our resources and traditional territories.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Four groups awarded grants Four Kelowna area organizations are receiving community gaming grants from the B.C. government worth a total of $210,000. The Rotary Club of Lake Country Society will get $30,000, Act/Uct Kelowna West Council 1003 will receive $25,000, the Lifestyle Equity Society will get $15,000 and the Central Okanagan Child Development Association will receive $140,000. “These groups make important contributions to our community. I believe the Central Okanagan is a better place to live thanks to their passion and dedica-
tion,” said Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson. His colleague, Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart singled out the child development association, saying he, Thomson and Kelowna Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick all advocated for it. “The COCDA is extremely important to the community, helping families provide for the developmental needs of our children,” said Stewart. “I’m very happy that Team Okanagan (the moniker Stewart, Letnick, Thomson have given themselves) have been able to advocate for this dedicated community association.”

Phase 2 for Bernard upgrade Before phase two, from Abbott Street to Pandosy Street, starts at the beginning of February, more work will take place at the Kerry Park end of Bernard. Storm drainage outfall work will begin at the park next week and will be completed in stages. That means safety barriers will be erected and
equipment moved onsite. The sidewalk on Bernard Avenue along Kerry Park will be closed. Bernard Avenue traffic is expected to remain two lanes with intermittent interruptions for the movement of machinery across the road to the park until phase two of the Bernard Avenue revitalization work begins, says the city.

The second phase of the revitalization work is expected to wrap up in June. Meanwhile, construction of the new public pier off Kerry Park is also slated to start. Edmonton-based Westcorp Inc., which has a contract to build the $5 million pier and marina project, will start work next week with the removal of the pilings anchoring the existing commercial dock at Kerry Park. Pile driving for the new pier and marina will follow once the removals are complete. The majority of this work will occur primarily from the lake side but movement of equipment may cause intermittent pedestrian delays or a temporary detour on the waterfront promenade, says the city.

program is in line with other municipalities in British Columbia. Under the plan, two permits for an address will be issued, as well as one temporary permit for a guest. Additional temporary permits can be purchased depending on the street frontage of the property. The $30 fee will cover the permits initially issued for a property. For more information, contact the city. Residents will not
have to buy the new permits until the free ones they currently have expire. The current free passes are good for a year. The city expects to raise $5,000 this year in revenue from the parking permit program and $15,000 next year. The larger amount in 2014 is reflective of the staggered start for residents, as many may have several months left on their existing free parking permit.

bers of the public, want important criminal charges, as much as possible, to be dealt with on the merits of the case, and not on a Charter application based on unreasonable delay. “Even the initial trial date in the case at bar was outside the eight to 10-month guideline range suggested by the Supreme Court.” Smith noted the reason the Charter guarantees a trial will happen in a “reasonable” time is because an accused is entitled to a fair trial. The longer it takes for the case to be heard, “the more likely it is that witnesses will have less recall of events to which they testify.” Last year, Smith also stayed drug charges against two people after attributing a 23-month delay—including a cancelled trial—to the court system. edit@kelownacapnews.com

Medal recipients honoured by city

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The final three Kelowna recipients of the Queen’s Jubilee Medal have been named. Kelowna General Hospital Auxiliary volunteer Chrissie Leathley and philanthropist Thomas Budd were presented with their medals by Mayor Walter Gray prior to council’s weekly public meeting Monday afternoon at City Hall. The other recipient, former mayor Jim Stuart, was out of the county and will receive his medal in a private ceremony later, said Gray. “Jim Stuart, Chrissie Leathley and Thomas Budd—in their individual ways—have devoted themselves to making Kelowna a better place,” said Gray. “They are generous, giving people who care about our city and tirelessly contribute to its betterment.” The trio are the last of the recipients recommended for medals by the city to the Governor General. It is Rideau Hall that approves recipients recommended for the medals by communities across the country. The medals recognize contributions to the community and mark the Queen’s 60th anniversary on the Throne in 2012. Stuart, who dedicated 31 years to local government as a member of Kelowna city council, including 10 years as mayor and 15 years as chairman of the Regional District of Central Okanagan board, was also cited for his community involvement and volunteer work with groups such as Kelowna General Hospital, B.C. Tree fruits and the B.C. Transit Authority. Leathley, who is in her 90s, was described as the

KELOWNA Mayor Walter Gray presents Queen’s Jubilee Medals on Monday to local recipients Thomas Budd (above left) and Chrissie Leatley (above right). KGH Foundation’s “ultimate volunteer” who has 77 years of commitment to the hospital. She started her involvement as a student at the Kelowna Hospital School of Nursing in 1935 and was among the group that organized the Kelowna Hospital Auxiliary in 1963. She continues to work on behalf of the hospital and its patients today. Budd, well-known for his philanthropy, created a charitable foundation after retiring to Kelowna in 2008 following a

Ground-Breaking Therapy for Pain Now Available in Kelowna Shockwave therapy is a modern technology that is revolutionizing the management of muscle and tendon disorders; the research is showing that shockwave therapy has success rates of 77% to 91%, depending on the condition. Glenmore Chiropractic is one of the few clinics in British Columbia using this innovative therapy. It has changed the lives of many patients who previously felt hopeless. Shockwave therapy was originally developed in the mid-80’s to break up kidney stones and has been used in sports medicine since the mid 1990’s to treat muscle and tendon disorders such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder injuries, carpal tunnel, Achilles tendinitis, runner’s knee and low back injuries. Shockwave therapy applies high-energy, short wavelength sound waves to injured muscle, tendon and bone. Healing effects include bone and tendon regeneration, increased blood vessel growth, decrease in scar tissue and tissue adhesions, and a decrease in pain sensitivity. One of the most intriguing effects of shockwave therapy lies in the treatment of chronic injuries. Because the shockwaves in essence re-injure the affected region, they ‘jump start’ the body’s healing response, promoting tissue repair once again. In addition, the shockwaves break down the fibers within the scar tissue, making the area more flexible and supple. Trigger points, felt as muscle knots, common in the shoulders, lower neck, and upper back are also successfully treated with this therapy. In fact, many chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons around the world are starting to use this treatment for tissue therapy to stabilize their patient’s condition and create longer lasting results. Go to Dr. Harris’ YouTube video “Shockwave Therapy Kelowna” to learn more. Dr. Harris and the staff at Glenmore Chiropractic invite healthcare professionals as well as Okanagan residents to an Open House showcasing shockwave therapy on March 9 from 11:00am - 2:00pm Results may vary from patient to patient

Taxpayers told to dig deeper
A
ll levels of government have their hands in your pockets a little more deeply than in 2012. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation sent out a press release last week outlining just how much additional pocket-picking is coming our way in 2013. The most substantial, and perhaps the most unfair, is the boost in Medical Services Plan premiums. These premiums will go up by $60 per family this
year, and have now risen 24 per cent ($300 per family) in three years—far more than the rate of inflation. This boost in MSP fees was first brought in by the provincial government to help deal with its deficit, and it has since discovered that it’s a tax boost that causes minimal political trouble. The federal government doesn’t get off scot-free. As of Jan. 1, premiums for Employment Insurance are rising, and

so are contributions to the Canada Pension Plan. While contributors will get their CPP contributions back eventually if they retire and collect CPP, the same cannot be said for EI. A small portion of the population actually collects it, but all working people and employers pay dearly. The local municipal government will boost property taxes by two per cent this year. The province is facing a mas-
sive deficit and claims it will bring in a balanced budget, so that means all kinds of potential tax increases. And in the meantime, BC Hydro, controlled by the province, is raising rates by almost four per cent on April 1. One thing is certain—governments have an insatiable appetite for our money. While much of the money they take goes to useful services, there is plenty of room for better management and for minimal tax increases.

Some of that money will come back in parking-generated revenue. But the key is private money is also at play. It will be used to pay for several planned developments while a company eyeing a hotel at the corner of Queensway and Abbott is shelling out the $5 million it will cost to build the pier and day-use marina off Kerry Park. After years of planning, and watching many of its downtown plans gather dust on the shelf, the city is finally moving ahead with a vision for the downtown that most seem ready to get behind. And that can only be good for Kelowna. While other areas of the city,
such as South Pandosy and even Rutland—long considered the forgotten child of Kelowna civic spending— have already seen investment and revitalization efforts, downtown stagnated up until a few years ago. But projects like the opening of Jim Stuart Park, the start of the Bernard Avenue revitalization, a new downtown plan, finalizing the deal for the pier, moving of the Water Street Seniors Centre to a new building at the Parkinson Recreation Centre to allow relocation of the Kelowna Yacht Club and plans for several commercial and residential developments in the area have all provided the impetus to resuscitate the aforementioned
heart of the city. But, as someone once said, Rome wasn’t built in a day. The work being done now will not only take a while to complete, it will also take time to propagate the changes the city so desperately hopes they will bring about. But the fact work is actually being done is something to applaud. For too many years the grand plans for a better downtown were just that—plans. But this time, it appears to be different. This time the plans are becoming reality. And, in some cases, results are already being seen. Alistair Waters is the assistant editor of the Capital News. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ TRUCK ROUTE
Gordon Drive not a suitable traffic option To the editor: Re: Kelowna city council endorses Ellis Street truck diversion to Gordon Drive. I don’t think the city council has done their homework on the effect of approximately 600 trucks using Gordon Drive each day. I live on Gordon and I have counted 80 trucks go past my place in one hour. According to the ministry of transportation, the guidelines for a truck route suggest a 150-metre buffer between the route and residential housing. Gordon Drive
has about 500 residents and most of them live right next to the road. That 150 metres is recommended for truck routes because research has shown that pollutant concentrations are measurable as far as 750 metres from either side of the road. Diesel engines emit 100 more particles than normal gas engines. Diesel exhaust is a major contributor to outdoor pollution. Diesel exhaust is believed to play a role in health problems such as cancer, eye irritation, headaches, asthma and other lung
diseases, heart disease and possible immune system problems. So why are trucks using Gordon Drive where there are so many residents, not to mention moms pushing their baby carriages and walking their children to school, subjecting them all to diesel pollution? There is also noise pollution from the rumbling trucks and screeching brakes which shake the buildings as they go by during the day and night. Lynda Zorn expressed the right vision, saying trucks should
turn onto Spall and then onto Clement, where there aren’t many residents close to the road. There is a left hand turn light onto Spall coming from the bridge and another advance light turn at Clement. City council needs to do more research before they make changes to the recommended truck route in the Glenmore and Gordon Drive neighourhoods. M. Gritchin, Kelowna
Revert tax revenue to municipalities with how Harper’s selling us off to China, nor Premier Christy Clark’s pipeline fetish. They both seem very short-sighted in scope, perhaps detrimental in less time than they think. We have to do something drastic, we must stop funding the machine. Stop paying taxes? Not really. I’m recommending a national referendum regarding our municipality’s place in Canada’s Constitution, which currently doesn’t exist. How will this affect national and provincial politics? Let’s give the municipalities the lion’s share of taxes. Sure this is open to corruption, but have you looked around? I’m not seeing many benefits for our taxes that we couldn’t handle ourselves with more of the kitty within our reach. The best part of this is how accessible those local tax-holders will be compared to those in the Ottawa
fortress. Will chaos result? Most likely, but again look around. There is the problem of the smaller local communities, but I’m sure the mayors and councillors can work out some fair sharing agreement. Maybe that could be part of the vote, too. It makes sense that if these politicians want to play the money game, we can play a hand in that too. Hit ’em where it hurts and rub a couple of zeros from those flush bank accounts. I don’t disagree with paying taxes, but I have some pretty strong feelings against how they’re being used. If our government refuses to respond to us, let’s give them a message that they can’t ignore. Darrin Fiddler, Kelowna
▼ GUN CONTROL
Facts about Switzerland flushed out To the editor: A recent contributor to the letters section made the somewhat fallacious claim that “in Switzerland, the government issues every household a gun. Switzerland’s government trains every adult they issue a rifle” Men in Switzerland are subject to compulsory military service after which they keep their personal equipment, including weapons, but not ammunition. Here are relevant quotes from Wikipedia: “The Military of Switzerland perform the roles of Switzerland’s militia
and regular army. Under the country’s militia system, professional soldiers constitute about five per cent of military personnel; the rest are male citizen conscripts 19 to 34 (in some cases up to 50) years old. “The structure of the Swiss militia system stipulates that the soldiers keep their own personal equipment, including all personally assigned weapons, at home, however, not ammunition. “Compulsory military service concerns all male Swiss citizens, with women serving voluntarily. Males usually receive ini-
tial orders at the age of 18 for military conscription eligibility screening. “About two-thirds of young Swiss men are found suitable for service, while alternative service exists for those found unsuitable. “Annually, approximately 20,000 persons are trained in basic training for a duration from 18 to 21 weeks. “Basically, the sale of automatic firearms selective fire weapons and certain accessories such as silencers is forbidden, as is the sale of certain disabled automatic firearms which have been identified as

▼ FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
To the editor: Prime Stephen Harper’s snubbing of Chief Theresa Spence is a quintessential representation of his attitude towards Canadians in general. He has been granted the power of prime minister and become more like “The Wizard of Oz,” conducting his machinations behind the curtain of secrecy. For starters, where is he? How many public appearances does our beloved PM make? Is he in hiding? Does he exist? Is he on trips all the time? Then, of course, are his minions —the PM’s MPs. They don’t seem to have any real thoughts, merely Conservative spewing of memorized (programmed?) sound bytes. If we ask them anything off their agenda, it does not compute. I guess that’s what we pay them the big bucks—to repair and upgrade. I can’t say I’m at all satisfied

Halloween home invasion suspect arrested in Surrey The missing suspect in a frightening Belaire Avenue home invasion that occurred in the early morning hours following Halloween has been arrested. Matthew Scott Stewart, 29, is allegedly one of two men behind an armed home invasion in a home in the quiet residential neighbourhood between Sutherland Avenue and Highway 97, close to Mary Ann Colinson Memorial Park. Last fall, Stewart and his accomplice, Keven Graham, 26, allegedly broke into a home in the 1300-block of Belaire Avenue and threatened the woman inside. “The report indicated that two unknown men entered home with guns and threatened the occupant. The woman fled the residence and called 911,” Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP spokesman, said later that week. “Police were able to track the suspects to a nearby house and affect arrests.” It turned out Graham had been arrested and was then charged with break and enter, using a firearm while committing a robbery and armed robbery, but Stewart remained at large with police stating they suspected he was heading for the Lower Mainland. On Jan. 10, RCMP members from the Surrey RCMP High Risk Target Team, the Kelowna General Investigation Section and the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team made the arrest. Stewart is in custody and expected to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Jan. 18 to face several break and enter and weapons charges.

Christmas smash-and-grab thieves nabbed Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
A trio of alleged thieves with a unique idea of efficient Christmas shopping have been caught just two weeks into the new year. David Bourque, 35, his wife Lisa Marie Bourque, 27, and Timothy John Carrod, 40, are the first three suspects to be charged in conjunction with a large crime spree that saw five people at a McIver Road residence arrested and a half-dozen vehicles seized. The group is alleged to have been stealing trucks, including a Doge Ram 3500 truck worth $80,000 and classic yellow 1969 Chevy pickup, and ramming them into store-
fronts in order to steal everything from car parts to computers and clothes. And the brazen attacks did not stop when police turned a spotlight on their nefarious deeds. On Dec. 10, Kelowna RCMP went to the public asking for assistance on the case after the Sears in West Kelowna was hit and the thieves left a fender of one truck behind. Police had been called to a hit-and-run crash on Old Okanagan Highway near Byland Road around midnight after a black pickup was spotted smashing into a sign near the Sears store and driving off without its lights on. A few minutes later, a commercial alarm alerted the officers to the theft at the store, which was de-
termined to include four LED television sets and two vacuum cleaners, a total of $3,700 of merchandise. The same black, crewcab pickup was then reported to be involved in a second store robbery at a clothing shop called Open Road Store at 2330 Highway 97 South four hours later. The truck was used to smash the front of the store in so the suspects could remove piles of clothes from inside. When the night was through, the crew had left the tailgate from the truck behind and police ascertained it came from a truck stolen from a Sumac Road home in late November. Publicity or not, and knowing full well the po-
lice were on to their modus operandi, the crew kept up the pace, proceeding to unleash a wild crime spree over the Christmas shopping period, allegedly stealing computers and iPads from Simply Computing in Kelowna and West Kelowna, hitting Lordco and The Source, and using that $80,000 truck to try their method on Best Buy. The merchandise and vehicles stolen and tallied to date have police pegging their path of destruction at a total of $300,000 in goods; although, the loss of business over the holiday retail rush would bring the total cost much higher for the shop owners involved. Investigators from the Crime Reduction Spe-

cial Enforcement Teams were finally able to crack the case after a break-in at Simply Computing two days before Christmas revealed one suspect’s identity. A white Ford F350 stolen from Orchard Ford was used to smash in the front of the store and the vehicle was ditched on the railway tracks at the base of Dilworth Mountain, and one suspect who fled the scene on foot was identified and traced to the McIver Road home. Police are still narrowing down the list of possible suspects and charges and say more charges may be recommended against those already arrested.

to have been riding their bikes through the park with another teen when they spotted the handicapped woman and her care worker on a park bench and decided to spray them, then ride away. Following an investigation, police believe the same teens who executed the cowardly attack were also responsible for an arson at a home full of people the day before. On the afternoon of Aug. 31, a house fire was reported on 145 Briarwood Road, two blocks off Leathead Road and only a handful of blocks from the park. The same individuals are alleged to have set fire to a front porch while a number of people, and their pets, were still inside the home. The pair have been arrested and were released on a promise to appear in court later this month. The motive for the attacks is unknown as it does not appear the arsonists knew the victims, according to Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP spokesperson, when asked during Monday’s press briefing if the arson was a targeted event. The fire caused $175,000 of damage and initially proved challenging for firefighters and police investigators as it occurred in conjunction with a similar porch fire in the area. Two days after the incident on Briarwood, another unrelated porch fire occurred at 456 Hein Road, less than a kilometre west of the first fire.

finance TFSA or RRSP? Still unsure about the differences between a TaxFree Savings Account (TFSA) and a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)? According to Alfred Roissl, a Toronto-based managing director with Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network, it’s all about the tax. First, let’s review the main features of this tax-free registered savings account: How much can I put into my TFSA? Starting this year, you can now contribute up to $5,500 a year. Your annual contribution limit will appear on your Notice of Assessment after your tax return has been processed. At the end of the year, any remaining balance will be added to your contribution limit in the following year. One great TFSA advantage is that there usually isn’t a minimum deposit required to open an account, which makes it easy to pay yourself first. And you can easily access your funds if you’re in a tight financial spot. It’s also worth noting that your withdrawals won’t compromise your eligibility to receive federal benefits like the Guaranteed Income Supplement, Employment Insurance or the Canada Child Tax Benefit. Any withdrawals you make can be replaced in the following year. It’s a great retirement savings tool: If you’ve successfully reached your RRSP contribution limit, continue to make deposits to your TFSA, within your an-
nual limits. Remember, these deposits are tax-free and tax-receipt-free. In other words, deposits you make to a TFSA won’t reduce your taxable income, you won’t receive a tax receipt for your deposits nor will your withdrawals be taxed like an RRSP. “By contrast,” explains Roissl. “Any deposits you make to an RRSP are deducted dollar for dollar from your taxable income in that tax year. For example, if you make $40,000 a year and contribute $2,000 to an RRSP, the tax on your income would be calculated on $38,000 only. However, any withdrawal you make from your TFSA will be tax-free and the funds are not declared as income.” Don’t forget to diversify: Consider shaking things up with a little diversification. You can choose investment options like stocks, bonds, mutual funds and guaranteed investment funds (GIFs). Also, you now have the option of borrowing your full contribution limit. However, unlike other investment loans, the interest paid on this loan cannot be used as a tax write-off. To learn more about the differences and benefits of the RRSP and TFSA, speak to your financial advisor.

It’s all about the tax
Teach financial discipline in your household (NC)–Whether it’s welcoming home your adult child after graduation day or helping them pay off their credit card, parents feel the need to help their grown kids financially well into adulthood, which coupled with mortgage payments, retirement savings, and even elder care, can put a strain on anyone’s finances. “High youth unemployment and increasing post-secondary education costs means many young people are more likely to rely financially on their parents well into adulthood,” says John Tracy, a senior vice president at TD Canada Trust. “As a parent, you want to help if your children are struggling financially, but it’s important your support does not compromise your own financial stability and retirement savings goals.” Tracy provides his advice on how boomer parents can practice tough love when it comes to family finances: • Get a plan and budget accordingly – Visit a financial advisor to develop a plan. With this plan in place, you will know how much you need to save every week to help achieve your dream retirement. Refer to your plan before lending a financial hand to your children. • Pay yourself first – It’s vital that you prioritize retirement savings in your peak
earning years, so you have enough saved to help live the lifestyle you want when you retire. Remember, if you can’t support yourself in retirement, then you risk shifting the financial strain onto your children instead. • Have open and honest conversations – It can be difficult talking about money, but it’s harder if you avoid it. Don’t assume that you are on the same page as your adult children. Be clear on what you are and are not willing to support financially. For example, if your child has moved back home, will they be responsible for paying rent or covering any household expenses? • Be a role model – Gradually shift your role from financial aid to financial coach. Help your kids establish a plan to get their expenses under control and pay down debts to take some of the financial strain off of you.

▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE
Students finesse finance contest For the second year in a row, Okanagan College has been named one of the top three finance teams in the country following its performance at the Inter-Collegiate Business Competition (ICBC) held at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., last weekend. Daniella Hallam and Josh Widmann, both enrolled in business administration at the Okanagan School of Business, took second in the finance category, up against Concordia, which took first place, and the University of Calgary, which came in third. The runners-up in the finance group included Simon Fraser University and business schools from Norway and Thailand. “It was a really amazing experience, and we were really excited to discover that the case we were given was very similar to what we’re already doing in our corporate finance class,” Hallam said. “And we even had one of the judges come up to us afterwards and ask us what Okanagan College was doing to create such strong finance students.” That judge was Paris Aden, an independent investment advisor who has worked on more than 100 merger and acquisition transactions with an aggregate value in excess of $80-billion, and who also judged the finance competition last year when the
college’s team took third. Afterwards, Aden joined the group for dinner. “It was awesome,” said Widmann. “Getting a chance to meet all these people, you learn a lot about what motivates people at the higher level.” Okanagan School of Business professor Derek Cook has coached the team two years running. “There’s no question people are starting to ask questions about what we’re doing here at the college when it comes to teaching finance,” said Cook. Once again Okanagan College was the only college in the country to have teams taking part in this final round of the annual competition. Joining the finance team was the management information systems team, where Nicole Hamming and Adria Couch, both from the Vernon campus, competed against students from Carleton University, Simon Fraser, UBC, Wilfrid Laurier and the University of Alberta. In order to qualify for the competition, students spend a month working on a preliminary round case, which is then distributed to faculty members of the Queen’s School of Business for evaluation. Only the top six teams reach the final round in each category. In the final round, stu-

Business. Now in its 35th year, the ICBC competition is considered to be Canada’s premier undergraduate business case event, attracting business students from Canada’s top business schools, as well as many from elsewhere including Spain, Hong Kong and the United States.
Valley First shatters food donation goal During 2012, Valley First Credit Union shattered its 6,500 pound target by collecting more than 19,000 pounds of food for food banks across the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys. In recognition of its 65th anniversary, in February 2012, Val-
ley First challenged its employees and communities to collect 6,500 pounds of food in its Feed the Valley challenge. The branch that collected the most food on the way to that target would net $6,500 for their local food bank partners.
After surpassing that initial target in less than four months with the Valley First Armstrong branch leading the charge collecting 1,950 lbs of food, Valley First re-issued the challenge.

▼ JOHN SHEARDOWN
The passing of an unsung Canadian hero
S
ome people say that “things tend to happen in threes.” That saying came to mind last week when I read of the death of John Sheardown. Just last fall, Canada announced the suspension of diplomatic relations with Iran and the expulsion of Iranian diplomats from Canada. That caused many, myself included, to reflect back on the so-called “Canadian Caper” involving the Canadian-engineered rescue of six U.S. diplomats from Tehran. Soon after, Hollywood’s dramatized depiction of the Canadian Caper was released. That movie provided a thoroughly U.S. focused, highly fictionalized version of events— to my knowledge, most of the events of last 45 minutes or so of that film never took place as depicted. And now, Mr. Sheardown has passed away at the age of 88. He was, without a doubt, the unsung hero of the Canadian Caper. The CBC described the situation in Tehran at that time as follows: “In 1979, a cataclysmic revolution shook Iran, creating the world’s first Islamic republic and altering the balance of pow-
er in the Middle East. “With the widely despised Shah of Iran forced into exile, spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomeini returned to oversee the country’s transformation. But peace was still elusive as student protesters overwhelmed the United States embassy in Tehran, taking hostages and launching a diplomatic crisis.” That Nov. 4, a number of American diplomats on the embassy premises were forced to flee into the streets on foot. Some headed towards the British embassy. Prevented, by further volatile demonstrations, from accessing that safe haven, they were forced to hide out in a series of private residences as the political situation disintegrated around them. Contact was made with a Canadian immigration officer named John Sheardown, who arranged for the fugitive Americans to get to his Tehran home, unnoticed. From there, two of the six were smuggled to the home of the Canadian ambassador to
Iran, Ken Taylor, while the other four remained at the home of the Sheardowns. The risk both hosts took in inRobert volving themSmithson selves directly in protecting the Americans was, of course, extremely high —their lives (and those of their spouses) were very plainly at stake had they been caught. The ongoing hostage crisis, in which 52 others taken from the embassy were held for over a year, had local and international tensions at an absolute peak. It was a long 79 days before the escape of the six Americans secretly biding their time in the Canadians’ care played out. From the moment the Americans’ call reached Sheardown, he was resolute in his determination to protect them. He has been variously quoted as having said, when he received the initial call from Bob Anders, “Hell, yes” and “Why didn’t you call sooner?” According to the Globe & Mail, Sheardown and his wife, Zena, had only been in Tehran for two months at that point

and it seems had been under surveillance the entire time as the political situation deteriorated. That didn’t sway him, and he initially brought the entire group of American fugitives into his home. Sheardown engaged in a number of tricks and ploys to hide the fact of the fugitives’ presence in his home, including buying the necessary volume of groceries at multiple stores and taking the additional garbage to work for disposal. While Taylor got (and gets) most of the accolades for the covert plot to “exfiltrate” the six Americans, it would never have happened without Sheardown’s initiative and verve. Sadly, there was no mention whatsoever of Sheardown and his wife in the recent movie, Argo. One of the other American fugitives, Mark Lijek, was quoted in the Globe & Mail as having said of Sheardown, “… without him, I don’t know what would have happened to us. If the reception had been more tepid… we would have likely tried to make it on our own for a few more days until we were caught. “The way he took our call,

The credit union offered another $6,500 for food collected until the end of the year. “To collect more than 6,500 pounds in less than four months was a terrific effort,”said Valley First’s Christa Phillips. “To go on to collect 13,000 more is just incredible. “Our branches and members embraced the challenge. They recognize the remarkable work food banks do in supporting the community and went out of their way to support them. It really is amazing what can be achieved when you set a goal and go for it.” The lion’s share of the 19,000 pounds of food donations was collected by the small Similkameen town of Keremeos. In 12 months, the branch raised close to 12,000 pounds of food and netted $6,500 for their local area food bank.

it wasn’t an invitation, it was more like a command.” Sheardown seems to have been a bit of a maverick, demonstrated by his later refusal to accept the Order of Canada unless his wife was also recognized. That was yet another situation in which he prevailed largely by force of will. John Sheardown was born in 1924 near Windsor, Ont., and served in the Canadian Air Force flying Lancaster bombers during the Second World War, later also serving in South Korea. His pursuits in diplomatic posts took him to London, New Delhi, Tehran, Glasgow, and Los Angeles. He is survived by his wife and numerous siblings, children and grandchildren. They will, I think, be pleased to see that both the Globe & Mail and the New York Times ran obituaries emphasizing the crucial role he played in harbouring and extricating the six American fugitives in early 1980.

r
n 1942, my parents Ernie and Evelyn Burnett were married in Kelowna at the First n United Church. c For their first few smonths together, they nlived in an apartment on sBorden Avenue while my dad built a new home on dGlenwood Avenue. e He dug the basement ewith his team of horsdes and a scoop. He mixed ethe concrete for the fountdation and basement with ta portable on site mixer with the help of my mom and Grandpa Burnett. d Dad wheeled all the

FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett concrete up a ramp with a steel wheeled barrow and the entire operation took about a week. He built the entire house save the plumbing, electrical, stucco and drywall by himself, including installation of the wooden shingled roof.
Within six months from pouring the basement, my parents were able to move in although it would take nearly three more years before all the rooms were complete. Dad and Mom lived in the home for the next 45 years, raising their family. If those walls could talk, it would make a great reality show. When the Burnett property was sold to Interior Health Authority and the house was converted into offices, I recall just mentioning to one of the people working there
MANY FAMILY MEETINGS WERE HELD ON THAT SACRED GROUND.
that if the house were ever to be torn down, I would love to take a final walk through it. Well, that time had arrived so it was to my delight that I received a phone call from IH informing me the house is about to be demolished
and would I like to visit and say goodbye. How thoughtful was that! I spent about an hour in the old place and enjoyed taking my mind back to the 17 or 18 years I lived there— from childhood memories of painting the basement wall with water colours to teenage memories of sneaking up the stairs to my bedroom trying not to alert my parents of my late night on the town. I was also reminded of the time spent as an adult with parents discussing the business of running a
garden centre and nursery. Many family meetings were held on that sacred ground. So good-bye old place and thanks again to the folks at IH for giving me the opportunity to close that segment of my life with dignity. *** Our family suffered a loss this past Saturday as my mother-in-law Anne Stolz (nee Schleppe), the matriarch of the Stolz family, passed away peacefully at the age of 91. She was loved by all, in particular by her many

Advice on how to achieve weight loss resolution Dealing with

H
ave you made any goals for 2013? Is your goal to lose weight, exercise more, and get healthy in 2013? It is if you are like the majority of us after indulging the last number of weeks of 2012 during the Christmas holidays. If so, here are some tips to help you achieve success!
START A FOOD JOURNAL
When coming to me for advice on how to lose weight, I have been surprised over and over again at how many people have no idea of what their daily caloric intake or portion sizes are. This is an important starting point if you want to lose weight. Most overweight individuals take in more calories than they realize in a day. Research findings of a study that followed more than 2,000

FITNESS FOR SENIORS
Bobbi Kittle dieters for six months and encouraged healthy eating and regular exercise, found that the single best indicator for dropping weight came down to keeping a food log. Begin by writing down everything you eat and drink for a week. Include portion sizes, calories per serving, and any emotional triggers associated with your eating habits. Starting a food journal and logging everything you eat will give you a realistic picture of your caloric intake.
DETERMINE YOUR BMR
Take a look at your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). You can look it up online. Your BMR is an estimate of how many cal-
ories your body needs to maintain its current weight. It represents the amount of calories per day your body burns, regardless of exercise. In order to lose weight, you simply need to increase your daily activity or consume fewer calories than those needed to maintain your weight. When you know your daily calorie need, the BMR calculator can help you manage your weight. If your goal is to lose weight, you can deduct 500 calories. This will allow you to lose one pound per week. Also, keep your fat intake to 30 grams or less per day.
GET MOVING
Find exercises and activities you enjoy and get your body moving. I believe you should have a balance of recreational activities and a scheduled exercise program. Look at your calendar and make a plan that you can realistically adhere to. The guidelines for car-
diovascular fitness (walking, running, swimming, biking etc.) are three to five times weekly for a minimum of 30 minutes in your Target Heart Rate Zone. The guidelines for resistance training (ma-

chines, dumbbells, bands etc.) are two to four times weekly, resting one day between workouts. You don’t have to join a gym—you can do strength training in your own living room. I have been busier than ever with personal training and setting up home programs using just a few simple pieces of equipment, includ-
ing therabands, balls and hand weights. Other options include registered group fitness programs, beneficial because of the social environment and the element of accountability which can be a further help in reaching your fitness goals.

The regional waste reduction office reminds local residents that during snowy conditions, garbage collection can be affected It may also be necessary to alter the regular placement of your garbage and recycling carts to ensure the collection vehicle can reach them. • During snowy or icy road conditions, your garbage and recycling collection may be delayed. Residents whose garbage or recycling has not been picked up should continue to leave it out for collection, and the waste haulers will pick it up as soon as possible. • Find or clear an unobstructed site to put your carts out for collection. • Put carts as close as possible to the street, without obstructing the street, sidewalk or bike lane. • Keep carts off the traveled portion of the roadway so as not to interfere with snow plows. Don’t place the carts in a location where the snowplow will hit them. The cart should be no closer than three feet from any obstacle, parked car, or other cart—an arm’s length spacing is required between each cart. • Do not place carts behind or on top of snow banks. • Please have your carts out for collection by 7 a.m. • Clear your cart of snow and ice to ensure the lid opens when cart is tipped. • As the waste collection carts are equipped with wheels, please use extra caution when wheeling them in snowy and icy conditions.

Before the week began, head coach Ryan Wade had a hunch his Pursuit of Excellence squad would be competitive at the 2013 Kelowna International Elite Midget Tournament. That much was clear as the Winfield-based POE U18 squad made it as far as Sunday’s championship game at Memorial Arena, before losing 5-2 to the Thunder Bay Kings. POE, which plays most of its games on the road in the North American Prospects Hockey League, was making its first ever appearance in the final since director David Roy first opened the local academy’s doors in 2003. POE, with 11 local kids on the roster, posted a 5-1 record before Sunday’s championship. “Coming into this tournament, I don’t think anybody but ourselves gave us a shot,” said Wade, a former player

In the event’s 34-year history, a Kelowna Minor Hockey tier 1 team has never won the Kelowna International Elite Midget Tournament. And while the Kelowna Fripp Rockets fell two wins short of ending the drought in 2013, it was the most impressive effort by an all-Kelowna squad anyone associated with the tournament can remember. The Rockets became the first Kelowna tier 1
team ever to go 5-0 in the roundrobin—including victories over Notre Dame and Burlington— before going down to defeat 3-1 to the Pursuit of Excellence in the semifinal round on Saturday. It was a dramatic turnabout for the Rockets who went 0-5 last year. “You go into these tournaments hoping to win every game, but even saying that, I think we really did exceed expectations,” said Rockets head coach Eric Blais. “On the other hand, I knew we had the personnel to compete and the boys did a great job. We came up a little a short in the semifinal and I know the boys are disappointed, but they’ve got nothing to hang their heads about. I’m extremely proud of them.” Goaltender Chris Turner was named the Rockets’ most outstanding players. Turner was joined on the Daily Courier Division all-star team by Kelowna teammates Kristian Blumenschein and captain Adam Beatty.

Chiefs in town as Rockets go for 18 straight home ice wins Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The last time the Kelowna Rockets lost a game at Prospera Place, it was the Spokane Chiefs who were celebrating the two points. Since dropping a 6-4 decision to the Chiefs more than three months ago on Oct. 10, the Rockets have been unstoppable on home ice with 17 consecutive victories. The Chiefs will look to play the
spoiler role again on Wednesday night as they make their second and final stop in Kelowna this season. “Spokane is a very good team, they work hard, they keep their game simple and they’re very consistent at getting pucks to the net,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “It’ll be another good challenge
for our guys. Our focus isn’t really much about the winning streak, but more about getting better and just being prepared to play every game.” The Rockets and Chiefs will meet again Friday in Spokane, before the Rockets return home on Saturday to face Vancouver. The Rockets’ current streak is
their longest stretch at home since winning 18 in a row at Prospera Place during the 2002-03 season. That spring, the Rockets went to their first Memorial Cup in Quebec City. The longest home-ice winning streak in franchise history is 24 games, set during the 1992-93 season when the team was based in Tacoma, Wash. Kelowna’s overall eightgame winning streak ended Saturday in Vancouver, as the last-place Giants edged the Rockets 4-3 in overtime.
The Rockets (31-10-2-1) lead Kamloops by three points for top spot in the B.C. Division and second overall in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Rockets were awaiting word Monday on the status of forward Myles Bell. The 19-year-old Bell was suspended after a check from behind on Friday night on Tri-City’s Zach Yuen, and was forced to sit out Saturday’s game in Vancouver. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Fifth-year guard Madison Kaneda connected on a key layup with 3 1/2 minutes remaining, then nailed a three-pointer 30 seconds later to help seal with the win at The Furnace.

The Heat are on the road next weekend to play the Saskatchewan Huskies on Friday night. Madison Kaneda Heather Semeniuk said of her younger players. “Her time will come,” she said of Jessica. “She’s a great kid. Emily, she always brings the guts to the games for us. She’s a real warrior. “But you watch for more from Jessica and Kayla, too.” On Friday, the Heat came up just short against No. 7 Calgary, losing 7471 to the Dinos.

HEAT MEN
The UBC Okanagan men couldn’t convert home court advantage into victories as they dropped a pair of close games over the weekend. On Friday night, in a defensive battle, the Calgary Dinos downed the Heat 59-56. Player of the game Anwar Faza led the Heat with 15 points. On Saturday, the Heat played well but couldn’t match the hot shooting of the Lethbridge Pronghorns en route to an 8174 loss. Dave Mackay was named the Heat’s play-
er of the game after posting 13 points and six rebounds and providing energy in the high-scoring, up-tempo affair. The Heat had control out of the gates, but a few lapses in decision making allowed the Pronghorns to build momentum through their transition offense. “Lethbridge is a team that likes to shoot early in the shot clock and shoot threes, and to slow that down the best remedy is to be balanced on offense and to score on offense, and that slows down their transition, but we had too many lapses there,” said Heat coach Pete Gurasci. “We just had too many lapses throughout the game where we didn’t enforce our identity and Lethbridge got to play their game.” The Heat (2-11) will travel to Saskatoon this weekend to take on the Saskatchewan Huskies.

Face off at the Sun Bowl is 7:30 p.m. The Chiefs are looking to rebound from a 4-3 overtime loss to the North Okanagan Knights on Friday night in Armstrong. Colton Thibault scored the game

Okanagan Sun scholarship fund gets $9,000 boost The Okanagan Sun Scholarship Fund has grown a lot bigger thanks to a donation from the Scotiabank Group. During a special cheque presentation Thursday, Scotiabank donated $9,280 to the Sun Scholarship Fund after balloon sales at the Scholarship Dinner back in the fall. The balloon sales at the dinner were matched by Scotiabank. The Sun Scholarship Fund has helped over 100 student athletes continue their education in just four years of existence. “It means a lot,” said Sun President Paul Carson. “The money that Scotiabank has been able to raise for us for the Scholarship Fund is a big part of the Okanagan Sun now and for the future. “It certainly means a lot of funding for student athletes for our team.” On average $1,500 helps a single player to further his education while playing football for the Sun It’s also a large recruiting tool when the club is looking at bringing a player to Kelowna. “At the end of the day, we like to think this is also
leading us towards our goal of eventually partnering with the university, of which we’ll need a lot more scholarship funding,” Carson added. “But this is a great start for attracting student athletes and it definitely works as a tool we use in recruiting.” This is the third consecutive year Scotiabank
has been involved with the Sun Scholarship Fund. Scotiabank’s director and group leader Cary Lehmberg said it’s a very good relationship. “This program is a very good fit for us…we’re hopeful that these funds will help players make a difference both on the playing field as well as in the classroom.”

Neilson slides to 8th place finish in skeleton circuit race
Steven Myland earned his first BCHL victory in his third start with the Tribe, stopping all but one of the 31 shots sent his way. “I feel really good,” Myland said after the game. “It was a really good game tonight by the boys, and when you get six goals for it makes it a bit easier.” West Kelowna (16-112-8) is third in the Interior Division, three points back of Merritt. The Warriors are on the road this week as they visit the Centennials on Wednesday, before heading to Surrey on Friday.
Kelowna’s Eric Neilson cracked the top 10 for the fourth time this season on the World Cup skeleton circuit. The 31-year-old Neilson slid his way to an eight-place showing Saturday at a race in Konigsee, Germany. “Raced substantially better than I trained,” Neilson wrote on his Twitter account. Neilson, a Rutland Secondary grad, is now ranked seventh overall in the 2012-13 season’s World Cup men’s standings. This weekend, Neilson and the Canadian team will be in Igls, Austria for the latest stop on the World Cup schedule.
SERWA IN FRANCE
Kelsey Serwa and the Canadian ski cross team are competing this week at a World Cup ski cross event in Megeve, France, with the finals set for Wednesday. The 23-year-old Serwa is coming off a 10th-place showing at a World Cup race last Saturday in Les Contamines, France. Serwa, who was fourth-fastest in the qualification round, advanced to the finals. Her day ended quickly when she was third in a stacked quarter-final that also included Sweden’s Anna Holmlund and Austria’s Katrin Ofner. in Italy.

finished the night with a Gordie Howe Hat Trick— one goal, one assist and one fight. West Kelowna is now the highest scoring team in the BCHL, with 134 goals scored through 37 games. “We were just excited to play,” Max French said of his team’s offensive outburst.

AFFLECK, ELIZABETH Elizabeth Affleck passed into the presence of her Lord peacefully in Abbotsford, BC on January 8, 2013 at the age of 102. She joins her beloved husband Dr. R. Wesley Affleck, who predeceased her in 1996; her siblings (two sisters and two brothers); her son-in-law Peter Dyck and many other family and friends. Elizabeth is survived by three sons: David (Anne) from New Westminster, BC, formerly serving in France for many years, Bob (Cherry) of Kelowna, BC, Don (Charlotte) formerly of Kelowna, now living in Chilliwack, BC. She is also survived by three daughters and a special woman who still calls her Mom. They are Esther Dyck, of Harvey, North Dakota, Carolle (Bryan) Whittall of Maple Ridge, BC, Dorothy (John) Clunies-Ross of Haines Junction, Yukon Territory and Karin Wollis of St. Albert, Alberta. Elizabeth was born in the small farming Mennonite settlement of Nikoleifeld, Caucasus, Russia in 1910. She came to Canada in 1925 with her family having survived the First World War and the Russian Revolution. Married in 1933, she and Wesley lived through the Depression of those days as well. In recent days, when most activities became impossible due to failing eyesight, hearing, and mobility, she continued to pray daily for each of her numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren by name and by memory. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. The family would like to thank the Menno Hospital staff in Abbotsford and a special volunteer, John, for their kindness, love and care for Mom.

Hi... my name is Foo (Fu Man Chu - aptly named for my beard). I am a very shy boy who is a little stressed at the moment, but love to cuddle and interact. I would thrive in a quiet home with a calm family. I will come out of my shell, I just don’t understand what all the fuss is about. If you would like to meet me, please ask staff for an introduction.

Midnight is a black handsome fellow, with a laid back personality. He would be a great companion for those who want a big cuddler. Midnight enjoys his comfortable bed where he likes to be calm and watch his surroundings. He is a little shy but once you get the treats out he is your best friend! He enjoys cuddles and headbutts. He would be the perfect companion to cuddle with on a cold winter night. If you feel that you have the time and home to offer Midnight, we would love to introduce you to him. Please speak to the Shelter Staff.
Spitz sure likes to cuddle and have her head scratched. She does well with other cats, but prefers her own space most of the time. She is a real beauty and can hardly wait to find her ‘forever home’. If you have a spot in your home and your heart to make Spitz feel loved and wanted, please come down and spend some time getting to know her. Came in as a stray

MIDNIGHT
Hello... my name is Dotty! I am a very special little girl who loves to interact with people! I am still young and energetic so I would suit an active family. Due to my curious nature, I can sometimes become easily overstimulated so I would do best in a home with no young children. If you would like an introduction, please ask staff to meet me! You will fall in love with my petite but ‘full-of-love’ package!!
ADULT GERMAN SHEPHERD X NEUTERED MALE
Dolce is going to make a wonderful family pet. But remember her breed - Retriever and Pyrenees - she is going to grow to be a very large dog. She is cute and furry now, but those legs and body are going to quickly sprout. She is a playful and loving dog who is still going to need to be housetrained,so with patience and consistency, her housetraining should be relatively smooth. We do recommend that she go to puppy obedience classes. Her mixed breeds are smart by nature and we believe she will quickly develop into a loving, trusting and loyal family pet. If you wish to visit with Dolce, please speaking with our Kelowna SPAC Dog Staff.
Donner is a very handsome dog who will be a welcome addition to any family. We do not know anything about his background, but we do know that he is a love. Even thought he is a big boy, he does not like to spend long periods of time outside alone. He would quickly become a loyal and dedicated companion. He is good with some other dogs, but he is discriminatory on which ones he likes. We currently have him mixed with Bob, a pit bull puppy and they get along great. So if you are contemplating adding him to a family with an existing dog, it is imperative that you bring in your current dog to do a “meet and greet”. We have to be sure they get along before bringing Donner to his new home. Donner loves to play in our backyard and thoroughly enjoys playing fetch. Donner will make a wonderful addition to a family who knows the breed. Please speak with the Kelowna SPCA Dog Staff if youd’ like to meet Donner.

Barney was handed over to us, we could find him a more suitable home, as his owners had no time for him. His new family should do extensive research on his breed, as they require lots of exercise and challenges to keep them from becoming excessively bored and destructive. He is good with older children, but NO CATS. He is friendly, hyper-active and loyal...all common traits of the breed. Barney would make a great running partner or hiking companion. Owner surrendered

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen zero-mile diet There’s been much talk in recent years of the concept of a 100-mile diet, where all your food is sourced close to home. It’s spawned a number of dinners and diets based on sourcing your food even closer to home than 100 miles. Now, Carolyn Herriot has suggested a home-grown diet in her new book, The Zero-Mile Diet Cookbook: Seasonal Recipes for Delicious Homegrown Food, published by Harbour Publishing. It’s a follow-up to her Zero-Mile Diet: a Year-Round Guide to Growing Organic Food book, which includes creative strategies for food security, sustainability and a healthy lifestyle. Her latest book includes 160 recipes, reflecting her efforts to grow as much of her own food as possible on her Victoria property, all of them using organic ingredients wherever she can find them. Herriot believes connecting the garden to the kitchen is a more healthful and natural way to eat. In essence, she’s taking us back in time, to where our ancestors all had a kitchen garden which nourished the whole family—and I’m all for it. This is a cookbook for vegetarians, although there are a couple of recipes for wild salmon in it, and she explains it’s not the consumption of animals that concerns her, but the methods used today to raise them. The recipes are simple and look good, and the ones I’ve tried are excellent, plus there’s some good advice in the book about nutrition and eating habits. For more recipes for locally-grown food, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, wherever books are sold. Although it doesn't advocate sourcing all your food from your own property, that would be ideal, and it was written with a focus on featuring local foods seasonally, sourced from as close to home as possible, both for your health and nutrition and for the planet.
JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
Carolyn's Cheesy Corn Bread I haven’t made this yet, but I plan to try it. It looks delicious and should be great with a satisfying soup for a mid-winter meal. 1/4 c. (60 ml) olive oil 1/2 c. (125 ml) green onions 1 c. (250 ml) whole wheat flour 1 c. (250 ml) yellow corn meal 2 tbsp. (30 ml) baking powder 1 tsp. (5 ml) sea salt 1 egg 1 tbsp. (15 ml) liquid honey 1 c. (250 ml) milk 1 c. (250 ml) corn kernels 1/2 c. (125 ml) aged white cheddar cheese Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Saute the green onions in the oil until translucent. Set aside to cool.
Char's Spaghetti Squash
In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. In a medium-sized bowl, beat the egg with the honey and milk. Add the wet to the dry ingredients and blend to a smooth batter consistency. Add the sauteed onions (with all the oil) and the corn kernels and cheese to the batter. Blend together with a wooden spoon and spread the batter in a greased eight-inch square baking pan. Reduce oven heat to 350 F and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is firm and lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Makes 16 two-inch square servings.
Squashes grow very well in the heat of an Okanagan summer, and the spaghetti squash is a very versatile vegetable. Here’s one simple way to cook it. This squash can be substituted for spaghetti in any dish calling for the pasta, and it’s delicious. Don’t overcook it though, or it loses it lovely crisp texture. Try pairing this with the 2010 White Bear Pinot Blanc, an unoaked, crisp, dry white with a citrussy finish. A portion of sales of White Bear wines go towards protection of the coastal B.C. rainforest. 2 oz. (56 g) raw cashews 2 c. (475 ml) cooked spaghetti squash 1 tsp. (5 ml) sea salt 1 tsp. (5 ml) fresh-ground black pepper 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml) fresh-grated nutmeg 1/4 c. (60 ml) butter 3 tbsp. (45 ml) lemon juice 3 tbsp. (45 ml) water
Roast cashews by laying them on a baking pan and roasting them in a 300 F oven, shaking every five minutes until they are lightly browned. Cook the squash by cutting it in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and scraping out any membrane. Season the flesh with sea salt, pepper and nutmeg. Put the squash, cut-side down, in a baking pan with a little water to just cover the bottom of the pan. Bake in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes or until a knife goes in easily and the flesh is al dente. Scrape the spaghetti-like strands of squash out of the skin. In a large frypan, saute 2 cups of cooked squash with butter, lemon juice and water for five to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the roasted cashews and serve hot. Serves 4.

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