Trudeau name still gets local Liberals excited Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

It may not the Trudeau-mania his father inspired in the late 1960s, but Justin Trudeau, considered the frontrunner in the current race for leader of the federal Liberal Party, proved he can also draw a crowd—even in a staunchly conservative area like Kelowna. About 300 people packed the ballroom at UBC Okanagan Tuesday night— many standing to hear the Papineau, Que., MP and son of the late former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Others, who could not get in, watched on television monitors outside the room. And many came away liking what they heard. “He has that same communicative style,” said Tim Krupa, president THERE’S NO of the UBCO Young Liberals of Canada. “That sort DOUBT HE’S THE of charisma hasn’t been FRONT RUNNER IN seen in Canadian politics THE LEADERSHIP since his father.” RACE. BUT… THIS Krupa said the younger Trudeau’s popularity RACE IS ABOUT does not just stem from IDEAS. his famous last name, Tim Krupa, good looks or age, but bepresident of UBCO cause he is talking about issues other politicians in Young Liberals of this country are not talkCanada ing about, issues such as ideals in politics, the erosion of democracy and removing political labels such as right and left. And, said Krupa, Trudeau is motivating young people to sit up and take notice. “There’s no doubt he’s the front runner in the leadership race. But anyone who thinks this is a coronation is not watching. This race is about ideas.” Krupa said both Prime Minister Stephen Harper and NDP Opposition leader Thomas Mulcair should be taking notice or they may pay a heavy price at the polls in 2015 federal next election.

ON STRIKE…Professionals at Central Okanagan Child Development Centre went on strike Wednesday as part of rotating job

action in the community social services sector. Health Sciences Association president Reid Johnson says the government “has consistently undervalued the skilled workers who provide these services.” Community social workers say they’re the lowest paid group in the public sector, as many are forced to leave their professions or take on a second job to make ends meet.

With perfect snow conditions, cats and dogs can run on top but deer crash right through. It’s a dangerous combination of conditions for ungulates, when their

sharp hooves are not helpful to basic survival. Conservation officers are speculating that’s what’s causing the sudden flurry of sightings of big wild cats like cougars down in the valley bottom. CO Terry Myroniuk

NEWS

Former publisher fondly remembered Graham Takoff passed away Sunday at the age of 80. The second owner of the Capital News, taking over the family business from the newspaper’s founder Les Kerry, Takoff oversaw a significant growth in the Capital News, someone who a former employee said ‘lived and breathed’ the business. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Graham Takoff, former owner and publisher of the Capital News, had a knack for gold panning, an eye for talent and a good-natured approach to business that won him many fans among his employees. When he passed away last Sunday, at the age of 80, the loss was felt throughout the valley and beyond, by many newspaper people who got their starts during Takoff’s 23-year tenure at the helm of this publication and appreciated the family-like atmosphere he developed in the business. “He was the best husband, father, grandfather and boss that anybody could ever hope for and he left us with a lot of fond memories,” said Brian Takoff, his son, who worked in the newspaper’s press plateroom. Under Takoff’s watchful eye, the newspaper grew from a dozen employees, publishing once a week, to the thrice weekly publication it is today, moving first to its home at the base of Bernard Avenue and finally to new Enterprise Way offices where it is presently located. “I remember him walking down the hallway…and saying to me ‘with my money and your good looks, we’ll make a great team,’” said Stuart Cook, who would become national advertising sales manager. Takoff always said the backbone of the newspaper was the small ads, telling his sales staff the

big ads would come and go but the small ones, and the classifieds were with the newspaper to stay, said Cook. And, true to his word, the small ads stayed, becoming so popular the Capital News had trouble with readers stealing copies that overflowed out into the back alley of its office—deal-seekers trying to get a jump on the classified advertisements—as the newspaper began to outgrow its Bernard Avenue home. He was never afraid to take a risk on a new person, whether that meant hiring someone who couldn’t really type, as now retired production staffer Sandy Lewis learned, or taking our current columnist Charlie Hodge, then a reporter and sports editor, back after he threw a tantrum. “Graham understood the business,” said Hodge. “When he married, he literally married the business. He lived and breathed it.” Takoff met his wife, Jane Kerry, in Moncton, New Brunswick, while still in the Navy. He did a brief stint in the Arctic, working on the Distant Early Warning Line, a naval radar line set up to detect incoming Soviet bombers, before moving to the Okanagan to settle in her hometown. Jane’s father, Les Kerry, had started the Capital News and hired his son-in-law with a succession plan. Takoff worked as a reporter, advertising salesman and office manager for 10 years before assuming the reins as pub-

Graham Takoff

lisher, and took to the business admirably. The newspaper was a community hub and the door was always open; although there were difficult times as well. Takoff’s son, Michael, served as office manager up to the day in 1989 when he was killed in a car accident, a tragic event his newspaper had to cover. The newspaper was sued during Takoff’s reign and he endured ebbs and flows in the economy. “I never saw him lose his temper and good Lord he had reason to,” said Hodge. Hodge said Takoff had a knack for hiring the characters that made the paper interesting and the humour to ride the wave when their foibles brought him difficulties. Former editor Bryden Winsby, now a West Kelowna councillor, remembered him as a man

who could let the stories stand on their own, always knowing to keep his hands away from the content. “Graham’s approach to the business was very, very good. He was probably one of the best publishers I’ve worked for and I’ve worked for quite a few,” said Winsby. Envrionment reporter and outdoors columnist Judie Steeves said he was the type of man who knew how to fix a problem and was generous enough to do so, even at his own personal cost. On her way to a meeting in Peachland, she remembers getting a speeding ticket. Complaining about it after she got back to the office, to her surprise Takoff paid the ticket. She hadn’t even asked. “That’s just the type of man he was,” she said. Many past and present Capital News staff mem-

bers shared their thoughts about Takoff and the impact he had on their lives and their newspaper careers. Garth Allmand, former advertising sales rep: “A passing of a good man, and a very patient one. Those early days, when I started at least, were challenging for the Capital News and Graham did his very best to keep us alive against all competition. And we won, against all those odds—the Daily Courier, Kelowna Today and many others. We did it under Graham’s patient guidance, who had to deal with the frustrations of staff and, of course, the huge personal loss of his son Mike.” Karen Hill, current Capital News publisher “Graham gave me my start in this business when he hired me in the classified department. He was a

kind, compassionate man who made you feel like you were part of a second family when you came to work each day. The Capital News became the community newspaper of record through his keen sense of responsibility to the community that we serve. He was a gracious, humble man who will be missed by everyone that was fortunate to have had their life touched by him.” Tessa Ringness, Capital News production manager “Graham’s smiling eyes is what I will always remember about him. His love for the paper and his staff was surely felt by us. To this day, I still say he was one of my favourite bosses. I thank him for trusting in what he saw in me and, 23 years later, I am still here. Thank you Graham for the man and boss you were, and the example that you set for me on ‘perseverance.’ Our loss is heaven’s gain.” Nancy Blow, current Capital News production staffer: “I was hired by Graham Takoff in January 1983 and it didn’t take long before I was entrenched in the Capital News spirit of getting the work done but having a lot of fun along the way. His wonderful humour, sharp wit, generosity and seemingly easy management style was endearing; but there was never any mistaking who was boss. I believe whatever spirit of fellowship that remains within the walls of the Capital News to this day, is because Graham

Takoff was once the man in charge.” Kiana Haner-Wilk, current production staffer: “Graham hired me to work in the production department 23 years ago. Right from the start, I admired and respected him. When you had a question, you could expect an intelligent and well thoughtout reply. He knew so much about the newspaper industry and was involved in all facets. On top of that he was a kind and patient man who had a positive impact on many people’s lives.” Sandy Lewis, retired production staffer: “Graham hired me in December, 1970. I was kind of a mess when it came to being qualified for the job. I had been out of high school a few years and my typing skills were all but gone. For some reason, he decided to give me a typing test. I was a dismal failure. I think I zinged off about 30 words a minute with about the same amount of mistakes. Anyway, he hired me and years later when I asked him why he’d hired me when I had obviously failed the test, he told me that he just had a feeling that I’d catch on and that I’d be a lot of fun to boot. Well, I had a lot of fun at the Capital News over the years. Graham was an awesome boss and lots of fun himself. He was also a friend and I could comfortably go to him for advice from time to time. I will never forget him and he will be missed.”

It may be 2019 before the facelift to CNR Wharf is complete, but after several open houses, online surveys and about 45 minutes of debate between councillors Tuesday, the vision of that facelift is becoming clearer. A new dock with public seating, a four-metre wide, curved boardwalk connection, a zipline and redeveloped lift towers are just some of the improvements illustrated in the

CNR Wharf Park plan. More than 500 people provided input and ideas toward the development of the plan. Many of the responses showed an interest in expanding the park while providing a safe, relaxed atmosphere. Several responses highlighted the importance of preserving historical elements of the area. All of the data received has resulted in a 60-page draft plan, which will aid with identifying capital and operational

priorities for the park. “Overall, I’m pleased with (the plan),” said Mayor Doug Findlater. “I think it goes in the direction we wanted.” Coun. Duane Ophus said he is supportive of the plan, but believes it is important to keep the Gellatly Bay Aquatic Park sign. “It doesn’t really fit with our modern aesthetic, but it’s a pretty important historical (symbol),” said Ophus. Design work related to the park upgrades is expected to be com-

pleted in 2013 at a cost of $157,000. The first phase of construction will include demolition of the existing structure, construction of the new wharf, increased swimming and diving features and integrated seating and lighting. That work is expected to cost $543,000. Phase two of the work will cost more than $1.3 million and will include shoreline stabilization, construction of a pedestrian boardwalk, entry plaza, central picnic area,

beach access and washroom facility. Work on that phase is currently scheduled to commence in 2018 and be complete by 2019. Most of the councillors indicated they weren’t interested in including a commercial facility as part of the CNR Wharf Park Plan. However, some noted there might be an opportunity for minor commercial activity in the park at some point in the future. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Snow removal performance takes a hit District’s road maintenance contractor’s president ‘not happy’ with initial snow clearing efforts of local streets Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

More than 1,100 comments have been submitted regarding snow removal and road maintenance in West Kelowna since Dec. 7, 2012. The majority of phone calls and emails have been complaints; 72 comments were complimentary. The comments were directed at the performance of AEL, a division of HMC Services Inc., which became the district’s main road contractor last year. Joe Wrobel, president and general manager of HMC Services Inc., admitted Tuesday that his company has not done a good enough job so far. “We’re not happy with our performance to date,” said Wrobel. “We don’t feel it’s due to a lack of efforts, but we

any necessary adjustments for next year.” Wrobel added AEL is working to ensure frequent callers are responded to directly to illustrate their concerns are important to the company. “I’ve personally contacted the most frequent caller. Two of the concerns the individual had were ones where I had to take full responsibility (because) of some of the instructions I gave our staff. “One (concern) was how could we have a sand truck up in the area when there wasn’t any need for a sand truck in the area? “That was partially a direction I gave to the crew: Between storms, patrol the areas, go out and ensure you know what the plow routes are to get more experience— don’t just sit back and wait.” The other concern occurred after the resident cleared off the sidewalk in front of his/her house after

know that we’re not measured on our effort—we’re measured on our results.” The road maintenance contractor president said there have been several issues that resulted in unsatisfactory service including inexperienced operators, new routes and terrain, severe weather and mechanical failure. He noted the plow mounts on some of the smaller trucks broke while trying to deal with some of the heavy, wet snow in early January. As soon as that happened, AEL brought in other trucks from Golden, but it took time for those trucks to get to West Kelowna, which caused a delay in service. “We have adjusted some of our equipment and will be doing a complete review of our equipment at the end of the winter, with the idea to make

Missing 4X4 duo found Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Two men reported missing on snowmobiles off the Gillard Forest Service Road have been airlifted to safety. Early Wednesday morning, family members of the men, ages 21 and 24, called police saying the pair had gone four-byfouring and gotten stuck in the snow on the Kettle Valley Railway trail, calling family after they got lost trying to walk out. “The family member went looking for them and, when the cell phone went dead, they called the police. Search and Rescue was called out and the RCMP helicopter Air 3 went up at first daylight,” said Cpl. Tania Carroll in an RCMP press release. She said the men were spotted by the helicopter crew at 8:30 a.m. and appeared to be suffering from frostbite and hypothermia as neither were dressed appropriately for the weather. “It’s important to note that this story could have ended very poorly for these two men. They are very lucky…”

a snow storm. “After the storm we showed up again after the snow was nice and crusty and hard. “We deposited most of it back on their sidewalk…we thought we were trying to do a good thing and make sure everybody saw us out there, but we actually probably caused more problems than we solved.” Mayor Doug Findlater said another common concern he has heard about is snow being piled in front of driveways. “I’ve been familiar with this concern for a number of years…it happens. It’s difficult for us to do much when we’re dealing with the truck plows,” said Wrobel. “We can deal with some areas, but when there are multiple driveways it becomes very difficult, we basically try to keep half of the snow to one side, half to the other and everybody has to share in it. “That’s the best we

Good police work applauded

o-called “Mr. Big” stings have found increasing favour among police investigators for gaining convictions in serious criminal cases. Such was the case with the murder of Chelsey Acorn, a 14-year-old Abbotsford girl who ran afoul of a truly chilling father and son duo. Acorn went missing from her foster home on June 10, 2005. Her remains were found the following spring, in a shallow grave near the Coquihalla Highway close to Hope.

Taped confessions heard at the trials of Dustin Moir, now 27, and his father, Jesse West, suggested that the two men had strangled her, pushed her naked body into the hole they had dug, and then dropped a large rock on her head. Possible motives and other details of their heinous crime emerged as they confessed to a police officer posing as a crime boss. It’s a strategy that has taken down a number of killers and other criminals in recent years.

Critics of the tactic call it unreliable, primarily because some people—as West himself claimed in court—will tell lies to impress someone they think is a key crime figure, to reap the benefits after they’re accepted into the fold. While fabricated evidence is always a possibility, careful investigation will usually sift out the truth, particularly when there is more than one accused telling the tales. And ultimately, there will be a judge and/or jury to weigh the

evidence in the context of arguments by defence and Crown. It has been suggested that Mr. Big stings should be rejected by the courts. And if that were so, the killers of an innocent 14-year-old girl would still be on the streets, and possibly taking more victims. That is an utter absence of justice. That is not an option. Thanks to good police work, Moir and West got what they deserved—life in prison with no parole for 25 years. Abbotsford News

Differences between Canada and U.S. coming into focus

his question was posed to me the other day: Is there any difference between people in Canada and the U.S.? How I would have answered that 20 years ago was, no. But all these years later, my answer swings the other way. Why? Because the lunatics have been running the Washington D.C. political asylum for the past 12 years, and the damage it has caused to the U.S. is immeasurable, both to its economy and identity. Nothing that can’t be fixed mind you, but given the partisan politics between the main political combatants, Republicans and Democrats, and further internal fractions within both parties, the hope of that happening re-

mains remote. The U.S. is $15 trillion in debt, a legacy from the presidency of George W. Bush. During his two terms in office from 2000 to 2008, Bush orchestrated tax cuts that weren’t affordable, engaged in two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that weren’t paid for and continued to run a $2-billion a day operating deficit with questionable fiscal or political returns. He feebly addressed an economic meltdown based on widespread fraud of mortgage lending with the financial industry, which to this day has not re-

sulted in any arrests of high-ranking banking executives. History has shown us that if you can’t understand or agree on how a problem was Barry created, then you are Gerding helpless to correct it. And if you are a U.S. cable news junkie, it becomes quite evident among the partisan bickering that no solution is readily evident, given the revisionary history being spewed. America is sadly becoming a laughing stock of the world, a showcase that dictator governments in other countries can point to and say

EDITOR’S NOTE

democracy doesn’t work. And the clout of America’s military machine as the police force of the world has been seriously damaged by its foray into the Middle East. But the defiant denial of too many in U.S. political circles to those realities has gone from being just sad to sadly amusing. President Barrack Obama is probably the most ridiculed president ever elected in the U.S., and it’s no accident that coincides with him being the first African-American president in his country’s history. He had four years to, with the cooperation of the Republican-controlled Congress, achieve great things for his country. He was the right person for the right time, but the Repub-

licans effectively ruined that opportunity for their country in the hopes of defeating in the 2012 presidential election. But Obama was re-elected, so that scenario again lies before U.S. politicians to embrace or run away from. When I was a kid, for reasons I’m not really sure of, I emulated the U.S., used to dream about living there, about touring the country. Don’t have those same sentiments today. Don’t want to get accidentally shot or stampeded over by people trying to get ahead at the expense of others. That is not the Canadian way, and it didn’t use to be the American way, either. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

PET GROOMING

▼ RESPONSIBILITY

Dog owners don’t get down to business To the editor: OK, I am fed up with the dog owners who are not picking up their dog’s business in the Mission Park Greenway. I use the Mission Park Greenway almost every day to run and ride my bicycle. I live nearby and absolutely love the park. Now that the snow is on the ground it is completely obvious that there are numerous dog owners who refuse to pick up their dog piles. To see for yourself, go to the main entrance and walk right or left down the path for half a kilometre and you will see dog pile after dog pile left for all of us to enjoy.

I see and hear the letters and stories in the news of dog owners wanting to use more parks and beaches in Kelowna. They are fed up with limited areas to run their dogs. Well, if our beaches and parks are going to be in the same doggie–do state as they are in the Mission Park, then they will all be very disgusting. In the summer months, it seems the people can get away with all the little messes left without being noticed but in the winter months with the snow cover, the truth is there for all to see. There are people who do pick up the piles and I see and appreciate their effort. I also see

dogs off-leash and owners allowing dogs to run at will and poop everywhere. This is an “on-leash” park. I commented to a fellow yesterday about his leaving the dog-do for all of us, which he then proceeded to berate me. Me! It was his dog crapping in the park and him not cleaning it up. Very disappointing. It would be my vote to not allow any more dog off-leash areas within the city, until all owners can show responsible dog ownership. Mark O’Brien, Kelowna

Bylaws in place but not being enforced by city their walk even though they are breaking local bylaws. In fact, the snow clearing is but the tip of the iceberg of an inept and impotent City of Kelowna bylaws department that has many laws on the books that are never or rarely enforced in this neighbourhood, allowing for the slow livability deterioration of this area from neglect by apathetic residents who know that the chances of getting fined in Kelowna are slim to none. In addition to the snow removal bylaw, others that are never or rarely enforced in-

clude residents not maintaining boulevards, not trimming hedges/trees away from the sidewalk, allowing weeds and grasses in a yard to grow out of control, and the illegal use of backyard fire pits. All of these (and others) have bylaws covering them that reflect a minimum of civic standards, but for some reason, never or very rarely get enforced by our bylaws department. In my opinion, we do not have ‘useless bylaws,’ we have a useless bylaws department in Kelowna. Adrian Witt, Kelowna

▼ ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES

There’s nothing for kids to do in West Kelowna To the editor: I read you’re newspaper article about the $25,000 not going to sign (Council Scraps Hockeyville Billboard Idea, Jan. 17 Capital News—West) and I have to say I’m glad that money isn’t going to be used for that. I also want to point out to our council that there are very few things to do in West kelowna with kids. OK, we have a pool, OK we have playgrounds, OK we have a paint ball

range, and a car derby. But what else is there to do with kids? We people of district of West Kelowna notice more closed down buildings in our town, than stuff for kids to do. In fact we have more wineries, than stuff for kids to do. And that is just sad. As of the middle of March, there will be another shut down building when Zellers closes down. Why not take one of those buildings and use

it for kids? Some thoughts are an arcade place, bowling alley, an amusement park, learning centre. Why not use these abandon buildings for kids. They are an eyesore, and some places have been abandoned for years, like the old Cattle Country place. Does the council really think tourists like to see places like that? Do they really think tourists say: “Wow West Kelowna is amazing—look at all the abandoned buildings

on Main Street. I want to come here next year.” Council tore down our water slides for condos. Took away old McDonalds Farm for stores. What is next? The flimsy skate board park near Johnson Bentley for a strip mall? I have been living in Westbank for six years, and in that time I have noticed a lot of kids’ stuff taken down for condos and strip malls. Now, people with kids have to go to Kelowna to do fun

stuff with kids under the age of 7. Unless they go to the pool, which can get boring every single day. I sincerely hope things change but they probably won’t. I’m sad to say that all kids fun and great experiences in West Kelowna is being pushed out for condos, strip malls and wineries. When I have a child, I hope I am not living here.

Lower taxes, more jobs and a renewed focus on Canada’s history were all topics up for discussion as the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce held its inaugural luncheon meeting with Canada’s heritage minster as the special guest speaker. James Moore, the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, and Minister Responsible for British Columbia, spoke to more than 50 people at the Lake Country chamber on Wednesday afternoon on a variety of topics as part of a tour of B.C. communities. “We are going out as a government and getting feedback on the road ahead,” said Moore. “The House is back in session next week and I have been traveling the province talking about where we are going as a government.” Moore spent some time going over the federal government’s job creation plans and updating the status of the economy, calling Canada’s economy among the best when compared to other G-7

This Week: Beauty Product Democracy! I’m inviting you to be part of my quest: let me know which of these five products you love, or not! I’ll tabulate the results and do a review in the February 7 issue of ‘Style.’ By Sam Hill, Contributor We often get used to the products that we know and love and forget to try the innovative and new products that surface. I am on a mission to try out some products that I have never used before and hopefully make some great additions to my beauty regime! I have for you a list of beauty products that I hope to try in the near future: Lush Black Stockings – I have wanted to try this product for months now and have not gotten around to it. This product is a solid body tint that gives you an easy, realistic tan even in the dead of winter. Black Stockings melts onto your skin and give you not only a coppery glow, but also the scent of the Caribbean. What better time to try out this fun solid tint than in this dreadful, cold weather! Benefit Watts Up – I have yet to find a good highlighter that has staying power! I am hoping that this cream-to-powder highlighter stick from Benefit will do the trick. You can apply the pretty champagne glow to cheeks and browbones and then flip the stick over to blend it with a soft blending sponge. Bumble and Bumble Straight Blow Dry – A heat protectant AND a straight hair styling cream?! Yes please! This cream is heat-activated, just run through

damp hair and blow-dry with a flat brush and your locks will be frizz-free and sleek. Straight Blow Dry requires heat to work, but also protects your hair from heat-caused damage. Oscar Blandi Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray – Wondering how to get fresh, voluminous hair without having to wash it every single day? Look no further than this invisible dry shampoo spray. Starches in this product absorb oil and product build-up leaving your hair residue-free. Vitamin E also strengthens and protects the hair shaft. I’m especially interested in this product because it is a clear spray, whereas most dry shampoos are in the form of a mousse. Lush Dream Cream – I need a good lotion so badly! I feel like I have tried plenty of body lotions and have yet to find one that I really like! I am counting on what Lush claims to be their best seller – Dream Cream. This mixture of oat milk, chamomile, lavender, olive oil, and cocoa butter claims to soothe irritations and dry skin. Fingers crossed that this is the one! Email me at fashion@kelownacapnews.com by next Thursday, January 31 and let me know which of these products I should try! I will write a review of the most requested product in my next article on February 7!

Valley from A1 “The valley bottom is where deer and cougars normally would hang out in winter,” Myroniuk says. The one difference now, however, is the presence of a lot of people there as well. Cougars will turn their attention to dogs and other pets too, warned Myroniuk, so he recommended owners keep their pets inside, especially at night, and that they keep them close when walking with them. He noted both restrictions would also prevent dogs from running deer, which is a danger when snow conditions are like this. It is illegal to permit your dog to chase wildlife, and the dog can be shot by authorities and the owner fined. Keeping your dog under control when in the wild will also prevent it from getting caught in a trapline. If you encounter a cougar, Myroniuk advises you stand your ground, make eye contact (opposite from the advice if you meet up with a bear) and make yourself look bigger by raising your arms and making lots of noise. “Let the cat know not to mess with you. Be threatening,” suggested Myroniuk. If you spot a cougar in an area where it could be a public safety issue, call the Report all Poachers and Polluters toll-free line at: 1-877-952-7277.

Helping improve the lives of others The Ellison Peacekeepers are a group of students who volunteer their time to improve the lives of others. This year, the Ellison Elementary Peacekeepers as well as the Ellison Elementary student body have made a number of significant contributions locally and globally. As a whole, the students are doing what they can to create positive change in the world. In October, Ellison students and their families collected over 1000 items for the local food bank. The Ellison Peacekeepers also held a bake sale collecting $ 321. The Peacekeepers then hosted a hockey shoot out with the assistance of four Kelowna Rockets. Students raised $118 at this popular event and funds raised from both the bake sale and the hockey shoot out were donated to UNICEF. More recently the Ellison student body collected pennies. Stu-

dents worked in conjunction with a Free the Children campaign, “We Create Change”, and the Royal Bank of Canada to fill penny bags. Ellison students filled 16 bags of pennies totaling $400. As a result of this endeavor, every bag filled will enable one person in an impoverished nation to receive a supply of clean water for life. Furthermore, students in the grade 5/6 class, and the grade 6 class, worked with the Instill Life Project sponsored by Okanagan College’s Students in Free Enterprise Program. Students created and sold cards to friends and family. Consequently, students donated the proceeds of $1661.25 to farmers in developing countries around the world through kiva.org. Congratulations Ellison students for all your generous efforts and making a significant difference in our community and around the world.

Writing contest sample Mrs. West’s grade 5 class worked very hard creating unique fractured fairy tales to enter in the Polar Express Writing Contest. Last year 7 students’ pieces were chosen as finalists and published in an anthology of short stories. The students are very eager to hear how they do this year!

Tacostiltskin

Author outline: Garrett McCarthy was born Jan. 4, 2002, in the small town of Kelowna, B.C. His nickname is Garrett the Ferret. His favorite pastime is football because he loves to hit. Mr. McCarthy loves cats. He wants to grow up to be a big, important CFL star. The inspiration that keeps him going is his huge, loving family. This is the story of Garrett McCarthy. By Garrett McCarthy One day in TacobellR in downtown Vancouver, something very abnormal happened to a teenage girl named Jane. It was the year of 2012 on a beautiful, sunny, afternoon. Jane was one of the smartest, most energetic people in Vancouver. She loved the outdoors, but instead she was stuck inside TacobellR to try to make money for a new Mercredes BensR she’s been drooling over. It was such a pure, enchanting day outside and she really hated being inside right now. She thought being inside was absolutely and completely terrible. All Jane wanted was to be outside, but she really wanted to get a car. Then out of nowhere, popped out Tacostiltskin, an ugly, troll-like creature that looks like it’s straight out of Billy Goats Gruff. Jane was so surprised that she jumped and shrieked so incredibly loud, that everyone in the restaurant stopped and stared at

her. Once Jane calmed down, Tacostiltskin told her he would take her shift, for a price. Jane took out her earrings and gave them to him, then she ran out the door screaming in celebration. The next day she was back at work and Tacostiltskin offered to take her shift again, so she gave him her favorite beautiful, amazing bracelet. Five weeks later, she had nothing to give him, do he told her he work for 1 month if she gave him the $100 she made. On one hand she wanted to go outside, because she loved being outside feeling the warmth from the gigantic, amber sun. On the other hand she only needed $100 more to get her new car. After that he offered to let her guess his name and if she did she could keep her $100. She did everything she could to find out his name, then she got her boyfriend to get it and one day he came home and told her his name is Tacostiltskin. As soon as she figured out his name she took off for TacobellR as fast as her legs could run. After about an hour, Tacostiltskin appeared and Jane told him his name is Tacostiltskin. Jane got all the money Tacostiltskin earned, which was a lot, because Jane tricked him into working forever. Jane bought a shiny, exquisite new car, and everyone lived happily ever after… except for Tacostiltskin.

SMASHING STORY…Ian Johnson, shop manager of Craftsman Collision in West Kelowna (left), and Kelowna Craftsman Collision shop manager Tom Watters (right) present Lynn Berndt, of West Kelowna, with a trip for two to the Mayan Riviera. Berndt won the Craftsman Collision’s contest by submitting a story about her unusual car accident. Berndt’s story concerned an accident that took place on Canada Day last year. She had just come home and parked her car at the top of her very steep driveway. Returning to her car to head out again, she saw that her car was gone. Then she heard sirens down her street, and looking for what the fuss was about saw her car stopped in a ditch and turned on its side. Despite her emergency brake being on, the car rolled down her driveway and made a wide T:5.694” turn onto her street, Ensign Way, and continued to roll until it came to a stop in the ditch.

▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Board of governors elect new chair and vice-chair The Okanagan College board of governors has elected Tom Styffe and Connie Denesiuk to serve as the new chair and vice-chair respectively for 2013. Styffe, who was appointed to the board in 2010 and served the past two years as vice-chair, will replace Lance Kayfish. Kayfish joined the board in 2007 and has contributed in roles as a member, as vice-chair and spent three years as chairman. Kayfish will continue to serve as a member of the board until September. “Colleges are an especially vital part of our future,” said Styffe, “We have demographic issues that will require employers, communities and the post-secondary sector working together to develop solutions. It’s an exciting time to be helping lead an institution as dynamic as Okanagan College, at a time when sustainability, campus renewal and addressing skills shortages are major focuses.” Styffe and Denesiuk are both residents of the South Okanagan. Styffe, now semi-retired, is an experienced construction project management professional who spent more than three decades working in the industry. His work included projects ranging from the $25-million New Westminster campus of Douglas College to schools, hospitals, commercial projects and more than 1,000 units of residential construction. He is also serving his third term as an

alternate director for the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen and has been active in municipal and provincial politics, including serving as a councillor for Logan Lake. “Tom and Connie’s appointments position the Okanagan College Board of Governors extremely well for the future,” said Kayfish. “Having worked alongside both, I have the utmost confidence they will continue to provide strong and capable leadership to the Board. “Working with my colleagues on the board and with students, administrators and faculty at the college has been a very rewarding experience for me personally. I’m very proud of all that our board has achieved in the time that I have been involved and feel very honoured to have had this opportunity.” Denesiuk has a long history of community involvement. She joined the OC board in 2012 after serving a three-year term as president of the B.C. School Trustees Association. Denesiuk also served on the Okanagan Skaha School Board of Education for 19 years, nine of which were in the role of board chair. Currently a director for the Summerland Asset Development Initiative, Summerland & District Credit Union and Summerland Chamber of Commerce, Denesiuk is also a partner in R. Denesiuk Construction, a family business that she has run since 1980 with her husband.

▼ WHL

Rockets a nice fit for Olsen Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Having to leave a team with an automatic berth in the 2013 Memorial Cup wasn’t easy, but Ryan Olsen was determined to keep an open mind about his new destination. Nine months after his trade from the Saskatoon Blades to the Kelowna Rockets, the 18-yearold forward couldn’t have asked for a much better scenario. “I was maybe a little disappointed when (the trade) happened, but I also looked at it as a fresh start for me,” said Olsen, part of last May’s deal which saw Shane McColgan sent to Saskatoon. “The way it’s turned out, I couldn’t be happier. This is a great place to play and we’re one of the best teams in the league. The past is behind me, and it’s been a really good move for me.” In addition to helping his new team catapult its way up the Western Hockey League standings, Olsen is thriving as one of the Rockets’ top offensive threats. In 44 games, the Tsawwassen native has 23 goals and 42 points—both career highs—with a third of the WHL season still remaining. Still, as a 6-foot-2, 195-pound centreman with a physical bent to his game, Olsen brings a lot more to the mix than offense. “Ryan’s size down the middle has been very important for us,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “As a guy who’s good on face offs, and the way he plays in our own zone, he’s harder to play against than a lot guys. On top

of that, he also plays the game at a good pace and brings some strong offensive ability with him.” In Saskatoon last season, Olsen didn’t produce the kinds of numbers he had envisioned—32 points in 67 games—but it didn’t deter the Winnipeg Jets who chose the rangy centre in the sixth round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Based on his play so far in Kelowna, it would be safe to suggest the Jets still like a lot of what they see. “Getting drafted gave me some confidence, it made me feel like I had something to work towards,” said Olsen. “When I came here, I found great linemates, found some great chemistry and things just fell into place. I found if I didn’t focus and worry so much about scoring, it would come. It actually ended up coming easier.” As for the team’s unexpected success in 201213—including a magical 19 straight wins at home—Olsen counts himself fortunate to have landed in such an enviable place. Still, Olsen said the club’s run to the top of the B.C. Division has been anything but an accident. “We work hard and I’d say this is the fastest team I’ve ever been on,” Ol-

We go into every game knowing we can win, and that’s something I’ve never really been a part of before.” On the subject of his old team, Olsen he admits he wishes the Saskatoon Blades every bit of success at the 2013 Memorial Cup—that is, unless his Kelowna Rockets also

happen to earn a trip to Saskatchewan in May for the CHL championship. “I know most of the guys on the (Blades) roster, they’re friends of mine, and I keep in touch with them,” said Olsen. “I want them to do well, but honestly it would be a dream come true for us to get to the Memorial Cup…my old team, my old rink, the old fans. It would be unbelievable. “We’re going to try and make it happen.”

ROCKET SHOTS…

The Rockets look for their 20th consecutive home ice win Thursday night when they host the Seattle Thunderbirds in a 7:05 p.m. face off at Prospera Place…The Rockets and T’Birds will meet again Friday in Kent, Wash…The Rockets (3410-2-1) trail the Portland Winterhawks by five points for first place overall in the WHL…Rockets goaltender Jordon Cooke has won a team record 18 consecutive games.

With the BCHL playoffs in the not-too-distant future, the West Kelowna Warriors have picked the ideal time to be playing their best hockey of the season. The Warriors are on a season-high six-game unbeaten streak after knocking off the Merritt Centennials 3-2 in double overtime Tuesday night at Royal LePage Place. Brett Zarazun’s first career BCHL goal settled the issue at 3:23 of the second extra session, as his wrist shot beat Tyler Steel guarding the Merritt goal. It was just the second overtime win for the Warriors in 13 tries (2-8-3) this season. “It’s a good feeling and a good win,” said Zarazun. “Words can’t really describe it. We’re just happy in the room. It definitely felt good. We have a good overtime record against these guys.” The win also pulled West Kelowna a point ahead of the Centennials for second spot in the In-

terior Division, and eight points clear of fourthplace Salmon Arm. Four teams will make the post-season. West Kelowna jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by David Pope and Brennan Clark. The Centennials bounced back with goals in the second and third periods to give the Warriors all they could handle. “Full marks to Merrit,” said Warrriors head coach Rylan Ferster. “They are a very good team, they skate well, they’re physical and they ramped it up a bit and we didn’t have the push back.” The Warriors, who are already without the services of four players due to injury, may be without defenceman John Monk for an extended period. Monk left the game after a check hit into the boards by Merritt captain Brent Fletcher. The Warriors (19-113-8) are back in action Saturday when they travel south to take on the firstplace Penticton Vees (2811-0-3).

Heat men land Lazazzera Delaurier medals at nationals

Alex Lazazzera, from Notre Dame Regional School, has committed to the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s soccer team for next season. The 5-foot-10, 150-pound centre-midfielder is a solid all-around player, equal in both attacking and defensive roles with a strong level of competitiveness. “He is the type of player that we are looking for—very athletic, very skilful, has a great work rate, very hardworking midfielder that can run from 18 to 18,” explains UBC Okanagan head coach Dante Zanatta. Zanatta is very familiar with Lazazzera as he was able to work with Alex in the povincial program and is excited to add a player of Alex’s pedigree. “I think he will be a great addition to our program. He can have a very strong career at UBC Okanagan.” Despite being a prolific scorer for his high school team—he netted four goals in a single game last season and scored a hat trick in a tournament down in the USA in 2011—he thinks of himself as more of a playmaker than a goal scorer, an aspect of his game that he is excited to bring to the Heat. He has played for the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Sparta (CMFSC) since 2006 and played under Coach Zanatta with the B.C. provincial Team this past season. The CMFSC won the Provincial Club Championship and placed third at the Canadian Club Nationals this past season in Alberta.

ALEX LAZAZZERA, one of the top high school soccer players in the province, will join the UBCO men next season. He also served as team captain for Notre Dame the past two seasons and led his team to a fourthplace finish in the B.C. high school championship “It is a bit of a coup to get a player of his quality,” commented Zanatta. “UBC Okanagan has never had a player this involved in the National Training Centre before. This signing shows the rest of B.C. and to other places that we are recruiting these types of players, that this a good place to come based on the school and the soccer program.” Alex plans to enrol in the Human Kinetics program at UBC Okanagan. “I’ve wanted to be a personal trainer for a very long time, so a degree in

Human Kinetics is my goal,” he said. Coach Zanatta hopes that the details can be worked out so that Alex can play for his Okanagan Challenge team this summer, this would give Alex a head start on learning Dante’s systems and add familiarity with many of his future teammates as close to half of the Challenge roster is mvade up of Heat players. The Challenge play in the men’s Premiere Division of the PCSL (Pacific Coast Soccer League), with a season that runs from the end of April through July. The Heat typically begin their training camp just before the start of August with a season that opens in September.

Three skaters from the Kelowna Skating Club and Centre of Excellence competed at the Canadian Tire National Figure Skating Championships last week in Mississauga, Ont. The skaters qualified for the championships by way of placing among the top 18 skaters at their respective levels at the Skate Canada Challenge, held at Regina in December. The highlight for the Kelowna contingent came in the Novice Women’s event. Fourteen year-old Julianne Delaurier, an Okanagan Mission Secondary student, capped a strong season with a 104.92 points finish and a bronze medal win.

She came back with a season’s best free program, which included a successful triple lutz combination, in climbing to an 8th place finish overall. “Having the three girls competing at this event is an incredible feat in itself, much less winning a medal,” said KSC Director Jason Mongrain. “With that said, we have a group of athletes that are pushing each other to greater heights in training, and therefore we can expect the results to get even better in the future.”

Jaedyn Penkala led the Mustangs with 15, Emma Johnson had 12, and Erin Jacobs added 11 in the win. “This was one of the best games I have seen a senior girls team play defensively,” said Mustangs coach Dino Gini. “It was

an awesome display of what defensive intensity can do, and it showed how deep the Mustangs are. Full court relentless pleasure for the entire game rewarded the Mustangs with a bronze medal and a well-deserved finishing.” Immaculata opened the tourney with a 4843 win over Bishop Carney as Siobhan Fitzpatrick scored 11 points, and Sarah Day added 10.

Immaculata regrouped in its second game to defeat St. J. Brebeuf 57-46. Alex Hart netted 25 points, while and Michael Gini added 24. In their final game, there Mustangs lost a close one, 64-57 to Notre Dame.

Trudeau leadership bid has momentum Excited from A1 Trudeau is running for the leadership against eight other candidates, including veteran MPs Marc Garneau and Joyce Murray, former MPs Martha Hall Findlay and Martin Cauchon, lawyers George Takach, David Bertschi and Deborah Coyne, who is also the mother of Trudeau’s half-sister, and retired Canadian Forces lieutenant colonel Karen McCrimmon. On Sunday, the nine squared off in their first debate in Vancouver and appeared to agree on most issues. Where there was disagreement, however, was on the issue of co-operating with the Opposition NDP to topple the ruling Conservatives. While Murray is in favour of working with the NDP, Trudeau is opposed, saying both the Conservatives and the NDP are too ideologically driven. “He feels when you govern ideologically, you

govern blindly,” said Krupa. “The Liberal attitude is that it’s okay to pull the best evidence-based policies from the left and right, as opposed to governing strictly ideologically.” Curtis Tse, financial coordinator of the UBC Students’ Union Okanagan said he was happy to see Trudeau speak at UBCO. While he felt the candidate’s answers were “very generic,” especially pertaining to questions about true open access to post-secondary education in Canada, Tse was happy to hear it is a priority for Trudeau. Trudeau is his party’s spokesman for post-secondary education issues. Like Krupa, Tse liked Trudeau’s opposition to left and right labels, noting he repeatedly talked instead about Canadians working for Canadians. He also repeatedly reminded his audience that the once-mighty Liberal Party has now dropped to third place in the House

of Commons, with just 35 MPs. Saying his is a party in trouble, Trudeau added it needs to be relevant to all voters across the country. Local Liberal organizers hope he can help lead that resurgence here, noting the Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal riding association only has 160 members but nearly twice that number showed up to hear Trudeau speak Tuesday night. Tse said he spotted several Conservative supporters in the audience, which he described as split roughly 60-40 in favour of students and young people versus older people. “Some of the people there were even too young to vote,” he said, noting Trudeau’s popularity. During his appearance, Justin Trudeau was asked about his famous father and said that while he agreed with some of his father’s policies, he did not agree with all of them. Asked what he learn-

ed about politics from his father, he joked that he did learn that when leaving the Interior of B.C., one should always wave with all five fingers, a reference to Pierre Trudeau’s famous one-finger salute to protestors through the window of a train he and his sons were on in Salmon Arm in 1982. Justin Trudeau’s appearance at UBCO followed that of another of the Liberal leadership candidate there the night before. On Monday, Hall Findlay spoke to about 40 people—mostly students— and presented herself as the candidate of substance in the race. She said it will be important for Canadians who vote for the next Liberal leader—the Internet election will be open to all Canadians regardless of whether they belong to the Liberal Party or not—to consider what the person they vote for has done. Hall Findlay, an international lawyer and for-

Tapping into your life passions Barry Gerding EDITOR

People like to hear what makes other people tick, that enables them to enjoy success in their careers or passions in life. Two Kelowna men are hoping that formula will prove to be a winning recipe for a new website concept. Lee Rempel and Stefan Matis have embraced a concept they call Passionate Living In Action. “We want our website to ultimately be a resource that shares and provides information about all things positive and passionate,” Rempel said. “We believe the audience is out there, it’s just a matter of growing the website and turning it into a self sustaining business venture.” The main building block for the online business enterprise is shooting video interviews of people, and asking them about their passions in work and life. The videos are about three minutes in length. A free copy is given to the interview subject to use as they see fit, while Rempel and Matis plan to post a copy of it on their website. They have already shot eight videos, among the interview subjects being a doctor, realtor, yoga in-

structor, fitness trainer, therapist and chiropractor. “Our plan is to film a wide spectrum of people with different interests. It doesn’t cost them anything other than their time for a brief interview to share what they are passionate about in their lives,” Rempel said. The current videos can be viewed on YouTube (YouTube/ PLIA) while the PLIA website is still being developed. Rempel, 45, is an electrician by trade. He is born and raised in Kelowna, who has worked his trade mostly in the film industry in the Lower Mainland. The idea for PLIA had been kicking around for some time in his head when he was introduced to Matis, 27, by a mutual friend. A videographer and photographer, Matis was immediately taken by Rempel’s idea and the two began putting the idea into action. “We believe we had a unique idea. We were talking about the idea for about 2 1/2 years. During that time we were looking around at other reality programs and websites to see what other people were doing,” Rempel said. “We are not recreating the wheel with this idea but we felt focusing in on people’s passions in life and

why they feel the way they do about them was something nobody else was doing.” So last fall, the two began approaching people to be filmed for their online enterprise, and have found an enthusiastic response. “I guess what people wonder the most is will it cost them anything, and it doesn’t,” Rempel said. Matis said modern technology allows them to film and edit the produced videos with minimal equipment or space. “All you need is a camera, microphone and computer and you’re set,” said Matis, who noted that some people who had been interviewed for television previously were taken aback by their minimalist approach. Rempel said the two are getting better at interviewing people and keeping them on message so they don’t end up with an excessive amount of footage that can’t be used. He said Jon Summerland, Okanagan film commissioner, has seen some of their initial videos and complimented them on the production quality. “He’s been very supportive of what we are trying to do and we appreciate his stamp of approval on it,” Rempel noted.

They argue it’s “unconscionable” for BCLC to deny their winnings since it was negligent in failing to keep them out in the first place and it may also constitute a breach of contract. B.C.

was developing postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder. “I remember one day looking down at my hands and realizing they were red and covered in a million tiny cuts from washing them constantly,” she said. “I think I really thought I was losing it. I began developing all these strange little routines for things, I was counting everything and couldn’t stop. I obsessed and worried about a million things and felt very overwhelmed, sad and alone.” For Marangoni, it got harder to get out of bed each morning and she dreaded the start of a new day. “Things as simple as getting dressed and eating were very hard. Leaving the house seemed as difficult as climbing a mountain. I lost a lot of weight at this time because I just couldn’t eat. I felt this way for close to a year.” She tried talking to her husband and her mother about her what might be wrong with her, but found little support. She and her

husband ultimately split up for two years in the midst of her postpartum depression crisis. The way out for Marangoni was to seek out professional help. She was initially prescribed antidepressants by a psychiatrist which left her feeling suicidal at times, but a therapist at a family centre helped her begin to put the pieces of her life back together. “I began to feel more like myself and as I picked up my life again and began to have goals I recovered a great deal. I never did recover completely, however, as the PPD I had was so severe, and to this day I suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder that needs to be kept in check.” Severe anxiety attacks and the both emotional and physical toll of postpartum depression was something that Marangoni was amazed to find little information about to help her deal with it. After she and her husband got back together, they had a second child,

hide in the corners of my mind that I fight every day to keep at bay,” said Marangoni in her biography posted on the www.ppda. ca website. “Through helping others I can feel myself healing and then in diving into the depths of it all, I am forced to visit places in my mind I would rather not go. “But it is all a part of my life and who I am. I have been rewarded with three beautiful children whom I love so much and would not trade them for anything; a little sacrifice is worth this happiness for sure.” Marangoni’s issues with postpartum depression began with the birth of her first child, a girl she

named Bella, at age 22. She and her husband arrived home a few days after the birth as proud parents, and with the realization neither had a clue how to carry on. While the baby was nursing well, Marangoni said she began to have feelings of being overwhelmed by the task of new motherhood. “I am a fairly emotional person—I feel too much and think too much—this is ultimately my doom,” she recalled. “My heart lept with every little cry Bella made and right from the beginning, without realizing it, I was worrying all the time about everything where my baby was concerned.” A common reaction to the baby when a mother has postpartum depression is to either reject the child or go to the other extreme and become over-protective of the baby. For Marangoni, a few months after Bella was born, she began to realize something was wrong. She thought she was going crazy, when in fact she

a son, and Marangoni had no postpartum depression symptoms. But when she became pregnant with their third child, she began to recognize her old postpartum depression symptoms being revived and endeavoured to be prepared. “A few weeks after Sophia was born I did inf act develop PPD although it was not as severe as it had been with my first child, and I think being prepared helped a bit,” she said. “At the same time, my preparation did not change the fact that I went through it again nor did it change the fact that even though there is help out there, it is hard to find and sometimes expensive.” What she does says was helpful for her was the assistance of a holistic practitioner, two books called How To Make A New Mother Happy and The Mood Cure, and taking magnesium and vitamin B complex supple-

Arnold issues his first crack at a novel Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

New Vernon author Jeffrey Arnold has spent his life writing and telling stories, though never as a novelist. First a commentator for CBC, and in newspapers, then as the rewrite guy for film scripts, in finance and as a real estate developer, Arnold was always writing, always offering his own viewpoint and always telling a story, though with a humorous bite. Then three years ago, with Okanagan real estate, his primary business, in a bit of a lull, the 64-yearold grandfather of seven decided to bite the bullet and write his first book, Nobody’s Laughing, joining the legions of others pursuing the self-publishing movement as a hobby or career. “I had written novels before, though never successfully, and (when the economy turned) I decided to take the opportunity to give it another try,” he said, noting he counts himself as a journeyman writer, used to cranking out copy on demand. The story took a year and a half to complete, an extremely long time in his view.

Canada’s best sellers Michael Neill’s list of best selling books are compiled from sales at independent bookstores across Canada.

HARDCOVER FICTION

Jeffrey Arnold “I was trained to produce three minutes for air for tomorrow,” he explained. The novel took a minimum of three hours a day, five to six days a week to write and his agent then spent more than a year trying to find him a publisher. In the end, Arnold opted to go with Friesen Press, a self-publishing outfit based in Victoria, and he will be touring the area working on publicity in the months to come. Nobody’s Laughing is a satirical assessment of the state of the world, in which Arnold suggests society could stand to take itself a little less seriously and focus on things that matter, like family, relationships and the environ-

ment. “Older people can get curmudgeonly, but I’ve seen it in kids and that’s disconcerting to me. I’ve never seen children that have the angst and stress that children do today,” he explained. The characters in the novel follow the old satirical tradition of naming for traits. The protagonist, an everyman character, is thus Richard Bonhom. The developers, conjoined twins from Asia who do not always see eye to eye, Zang and Wang Ton, offer commentary on the rise of the Asian economic power while Bonhom’s problems, his drug-addicted daughter, pending financial and mid-life crisis, reflect the first-world calamities of a

generation obsessed with material excess. “Slowly we’re going to survive, but not without looking at ourselves critically,” he said in interview from Vancouver. “As my daughter put it, (the book) made me laugh, it made me cry and it gave me a headache.” One can’t help but notice there are a few likenesses between Bonhom and Arnold. Bonhom too is a developer. He too has seen a fair amount of change in his time and

he too has had to learn to adapt on demand. Taking a first crack at writing novels, for example, might qualify. Arnold is a senior partner with Avanti Growth Management, a private equity company focused on providing financial, management and marketing services. Arnold will be at Mosaic Books for his first book signing in the area this Saturday, Jan. 26 from noon to 2 p.m. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS

Rough stuff on the bill at the movies this weekend

arning: this weekend’s movies are filled with violence, sex, nudity and coarse language plus there’s a movie about fracking. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is probably going to be as overthe-top as the title suggests, but it could be both figuratively and literally

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis bloody fun. Set 15 years after the traumatic incident at

the witch’s gingerbread house, the siblings (The Bourne Legacy’s Jeremy Renner and Quantum of Solace’s Gemma Arterton) have now become bounty hunters looking to put down every witch in existence. Director Taylor Hackford may not be a household name, but he is respected enough in the

film industry to be the president of the Directors Guild of America. More importantly, he has directed films like An Officer and a Gentleman, Against All Odds, The Devil’s Advocate and Ray. For his latest, he takes on the Donald E. Westlake’s (under the pen name of Richard Stark)

literary character of Parker, featured in 24 of the author’s novels. Jason Statham stars as Parker, a ruthless career criminal with almost no traditional redeeming qualities aside from not stealing from the poor or hurting innocent people. But on his latest heist, his crew double crosses him and leaves him for dead.

Determined to make them regret it, he tracks them to Palm Beach where the crew is planning their biggest heist ever. Parker enlists the help of a real estate agent (Jennifer Lopez), an unlikely partner but has the looks, smarts and ambition to help him take everyone down and hijack the score.

Movie 43 is being billed as “the biggest cast ever assembled for the most outrageous comedy ever made.” At the very least it is an ambitious project featuring 12 different storylines, 11 different directors and 15 different writ-

Cooper right in Silver Lining SILVER LINING PLAYBOOK After spending eight months in a state institution, after a bi-polar episode, Pat (played so well by Bradley Cooper), begins to pick up his life after losing his wife, his house, his job and his independence and moves back in with his parents. His parents are a bit crazy too—Pat Sr., played by Robert De Nero (remember Meet the Parents?), has OCD, a maniacal connection to the Philadelphia Eagles, and guilt over spending

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen more time with his other son when the boys were younger. Mom Delores, played by Jacki Weaver, is the long suffering wife and mother who bakes tasty treats for every game and just tries for a little tranquility. In an effort to win back his wife, Pat enlists the aid of Tiffany (played by Jennifer Lawrence of The Hunger Games), and who is herself a few sandwiches short of a picnic, but with a good heart and a dream to compete in a dance competition. This really is the kind of quirky, comedy, drama, romance film that will appeal to everyone, and with a little craziness thrown in, it speaks to all of us. Mark Wahlberg was originally cast to play Pat, but director David O. Russell decided to go

with Cooper and he made the right choice. Russell was drawn to make this film as his own son is bipolar. A couple of things to look for in the film: Check out the marquee on the theatre in one scene in the show and the book that Pat throws out of the window is Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. Great Line: “If you stay positive, you have a shot at a silver lining.” I was going to see Broken City, but I’ve lived in Toronto and so decided to see Silver Lining instead and I’m glad I did. I give Silver Linings four reels cause I’m a little crazy too.

With the Oscars a few weeks away, each week I’m going to make a prediction—let’s see how close I come to actually D picking the winners. This week’s Oscar Prediction: Best Supporting Actor will go to Tommy-Lee Jones in Lincoln. Susan Steen is a local movie buff. susansteen1234@shaw.ca

ers all brought together by producers Peter Farrelly and Charles Wessler, who were responsible for movies like There’s Something About Mary and Dumb And Dumber. The cast includes (deep breath) Seth MacFarlane, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Emma Stone, Cholë Grace Moretz, Gerard Butler, Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Bell, Naomi Watts, Chris Pratt, Kate Winslet, Anna Faris, Richard Gere, Josh Duhamel, Uma Thurman, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Patrick Warburton, Seann William Scott, Live Schreiber, Justin Long, Kieran Culkin, Kate Bosworth, Jason Sudeikis, Leslie Bibb, Bobby Cannavale, Terrance Howard, Tony Shalhoub, Jack McBrayer and Johnny Knoxville. What Movie 43 reminds me of is movies from the ’70s like If You Don’t Stop It…You’ll Go Blind!!!, Can I Do It ‘Till I Need Glasses? and The Kentucky Fried Movie. These were all compilations of skits that pushed the limits of comedy at the time and if you believe the tagline, Movie 43 will do the same. Matt Damon reteams with his Good Will Hunting director Gus Van Sant in Promised Land, what many people describe as the movie about fracking. Damon plays a corporate salesman sent to a financially strapped small town expecting local citizens to readily accept their company’s offer for drilling rights to their properties. What seems

like an easy job becomes complicated by objections from the residents.

are performed for a variety of reasons, such as to help relieve or prevent pain, to reduce a symptom, to improve some body function, or to diagnose conditions. With surgery comes certain post-operative side effects and risks. Some of the major concerns with surgery is dealing with post-surgery pain and the side effects of pain medications, as well as making a complete recovery from surgery and regaining our former mobility and functions. Doctors rely on powerful medications to relieve pain during and immediately after surgery, including opioids and anesthesia. Opioid pain medications can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, pruritis (itch or a sensation

that makes a person want to scratch), constipation, and sleepinessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;symptoms which can cause difficulty in the recovery and interfere with our day-today life. Use of opioids and their side effects may also delay post-operative recovery. Acupuncture is an excellent option for post-operative recovery and has been shown to be very effective in the treatment of both post-operative pain and the side effects of opioid medications. Acupuncture is probably best known for the treatment of pain and it is indeed very effective for relieving pain and reducing the need for pain medications. Pain limits your ability to breathe deeply, cough, walk and perform the activities necessary for a speedy recovery, and acupuncture can help to manage the pain so that re-

covery can happen more quickly. Acupuncture can also treat the side effects of pain medications including dizziness, upset stomach or nausea, loss of appetite, pruritis, urinary incontinence, and digestive problems, making it an effective option for post-operative recovery. Acupuncture can also help with the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery following surgery. While surgical techniques have come a long way, surgery still remains a type of trauma that the body must recover and heal from afterwards. Acupuncture helps to boost the immune system and to restore proper functioning to the body, and in post-operative care can help the body to recover and regain health more quickly. Acupuncture can also help with inflammation, decrease swelling and improve mobility and range

of motion after surgery. This is important to recovery in order for a person to regain their full abilities and have full use of the body in the months down the road from surgery. Acupuncture may also help reduce adhesion formation and reduce scarring and scar tissue as the body heals from surgery. Research shows that acupuncture can indeed be very effective for post-operative recovery when surgery is followed by a series of acupuncture treatments, and it can also be beneficial to perform acupuncture a day or two before surgery. This ensures that the body is in a healthy state going into surgery in order to ensure a complete and healthy recovery!

shown Friday, 7:30 p.m., at the Okanagan College campus theatre. The documentary points out how minerals used to produce cell phones comes from the eastern part of the Congo, and how the sale of the minerals finances the war.Â According to human rights organizations, this war is now the bloodiest since the Second World War. Over the past 15 years, more than five millionÂ people have lost their lives and 300,000 women have been raped. The film addresses the issue ofÂ conflict minerals by examining illegal cassiterite mining.Â Danish director Frank Poulsen traveled to the Congo to see the illegal mine industry with his own eyes. He was given access to the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest tin mine, where children work for days in narrow mine tunnels to dig out the minerals that end up in our phones.Â The film also reveals Poulsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles to talk with officials for Nokia, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest phone company, to seek a guarantee the company will not buy Congo conflict minerals.

Finding inner peace to simplify our lives

The truth we seek is a unique and personal adventure to help make our complicated lives more simple, says Judy Guido, a national speaker with the Inner Peace Movement of Canada. Guido was in Kelowna this week to talk about how the best way to find our truth is participation with others. “As we learn to trust ourselves and the power of team we set the stage for prosperity and fulfillment. Everything changes and nothing is stagnant and when we realize the meaningful qualities we see in others are facets of ourselves then we release competition and embrace cooperation,” said Guido.

Vitamin C and Lysine powder help prevent heart attacks by W. Gifford-Jones M.D. Why is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. History shows mankind is not kind to new ideas. In 1847 one maternity patient in six who entered the University Hospital in Vienna left in a coffin. Why? Because esteemed professors ridiculed Dr. Semmelweiss, a colleague, for showing that by simply washing hands after doing an autopsy, deaths were prevented. Years later Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, is ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks. Twenty-five years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C and humans do not. That’s why sailors died of scurvy during long sea voyages, but the ship’s cat survived. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proved that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. So what has happened to these monumental findings? Bush, like Semmelweiss, has been ridiculed by cardiologists. One has to ask whether cardiologists, by ignoring his results, are condemning thousands of people to an early coronary heart attack. Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high

find a balance between thought and feeling,” Guido explained. “Out of balance can be recognized by seeing people who think and think and think about things, they analyze and dissect but never put those thoughts into action. “On the other end are the daydreamers who are trying to envision everything all the time rather than just being.” Guido says ultimately we all have to learn to trust our own intuition, to not be afraid to listen to the lit-

doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal, for several reasons. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking Lipitor. I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus is available at health food stores. Its sales will help support The GiffordJones Professorship in Pain Control and Palliative Care at the University of Toronto. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. If high doses cause diarrhea, the dose should be decreased. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. Most of today’s, cardiologists are impervious to persuasion. They continue to believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-and-end-all to prevent heart attack. They’ve been brain-washed by millions of dollars worth of promotion by pharmaceutical companies. It reminds me of the saying that cautions “It’s not what you don’t know what gets you into trouble, it’s the things you know for sure that ain’t so!” It’s time for cardiologists to have an open mind and stop ignoring this research. As for me – I bet my life on it!

or muscles, we wouldn’t be able to contract our muscles and our skeleton would not keep us upright. What is the connection with calcium and heart disease? Some recent research had correlated an increased risk of heart disease with people who had been using calcium supplements. It was thought that excessive calcium that is consumed, and not used by the bones, could lead to plaque deposits in the arteries, which can lead to heart disease. The increased risk was found to be minimal and has not led to a definitive answer as to whether or not calcium supplementation is a significant risk factor for heart disease. However, the study did highlight that getting calcium from food sources lessens any associated risk because it is in smaller amounts spread out throughout the day, as opposed to larger doses in a pill, as well as, in a form that our body readily absorbs. So what are the best food sources of calcium? Dairy is the most commonly known source of calcium, with one glass of milk giving you a quarter of your recommended

daily allowance. However, if you are lactose intolerant or do not eat dairy products, other significant sources are almonds, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and fortified soy products (e.g. tofu). If your diet does not supply adequate amounts of the above foods, or you have a condition that prevents you from absorbing all your nutrients, that is when you should consider calcium supplementation. Calcium is best absorbed with vitamin D and is best paired with magnesium. Since magnesium has positive cardiovascular benefits and helps balance out your calcium, look for a calcium supplement that has a 2:1 or 1:1 (calcium:magnesium) ratio. There are many choices of calcium supplements. Try to find one that is specific to your health concern, is easily digested and food-based if possible. Since there are health concerns surrounding calcium, do consult with your physician before starting any supplementation.

Hydrants vandalized

▼ SPEED READER BOARDS

Initiative adopted to slow speeding drivers New traffic calming measures have been installed in West Kelowna with the hope of reducing the number of collisions at two busy intersections. Speed display signs have been installed on Glenrosa Road southbound, north of Webber Road, and on Old Okanagan Highway southbound, north of Quince Road. Mayor Doug Findlater said West Kelowna council is pleased to see traffic calming measures put to use throughout the municipality. “Curb extensions were placed on Vineyard Drive in the fall to slow motorists who were using the local street as a shortcut over Mount Boucherie, and this winter the installation of speed reader boards serves as another strong indication of council’s ongoing commitment to improve traffic safety in West Kelowna,” said Findlater. Findlater added ICBC matched funds toward the purchase of the speed reader boards, which are valued at more than $14,000. ICBC director of road safety, John

Dickinson, said the insurance corporation was pleased to invest in new speed reader boards in West Kelowna. “Speeding is the leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. and when combined with the poor weather conditions at this time of year, dramatically increases your risk of crashing,” said Dickinson. Last year, West Kelowna council asked municipal staff to purchase the boards and work with ICBC to identify appropriate locations for the signage. The intersections of Glenrosa and Webber roads and Old Okanagan Highway and Butt roads were identified as the highest collision intersections within the district’s boundary. Speed display boards were mounted on street lamps at the approaches to these intersections earlier this winter. The signs collect data to measure their ongoing effectiveness. As a means to further enforcing the speed limit, West Kelowna may consider asking RCMP to set up radar down the road from there the speed reader boards are set up.

WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

THE District of West Kelowna is hopeful its new speed reader signs will help slow down drivers along Glenrosa Road and Old Okanagan Highway.

The District of West Kelowna is seeking the public’s assistance after several fire hydrants were vandalized last week. Five fire hydrants were tampered with in the evening hours of Jan. 15, 16 and 17. The vandalism caused significant water leakage and compromised the hydrants’ operation. The hydrants that were tampered with are located at Ingram and Brown Roads, Asquith Road, Shannon Ridge Drive and Ensign Way, Smith Creek Road, and Vineyard Drive. The damaged hydrants have since been repaired. Residents are asked to contact West Kelowna RCMP at 250-7682880 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 if they observe any suspicious activity near fire hydrants, particularly in the evening hours.

Council signs off on over $80,000 for cash grants-in-aid Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

They didn’t always get what they asked for, but several community groups were given some sort of funding last week lduring the district’s first round eof budget deliberations. e Council approved $81,500 in cash grants and $253,225 in lnon-cash grants after mulling over 34 requests from various lgroups within the municipality. , Top cash grants were given to Westside Celebration Socinety ($16,000), Westside Canadian Red Cross ($12,000) and -Liquid Lightning Swim Club ($11,500).

Dance City Academy Tour Group, Green Bay Bible Camp, Westside Minor Fastball Association and Westside and District Chamber of Commerce were among the groups that council decided not to give any funding to. Ten of the groups were given the same amount of money as they received in 2012 after Coun. David Knowles passed an omnibus motion that bypassed in-depth discussion for each organization. Coun. Carol Zanon said she was strongly against the decision to make several grant-inaid decisions with a single vote. “I do not believe in omni-

bus motions, I believe each of these organizations deserves a discussion in (their) own right,” said Zanon. Council unanimously agreed to provide 12 community groups with the noncash grants they requested. The district granted the following amounts of money to various groups within the community: • Peregine Royal Canadian Air Cadets requested $6,600 and received $1,500. • Westside Canadian Red Cross requested $14,488 and received $12,000. • Casa Loma Community Association requested $1,500 and received $1,500—subject

to its project being approved by district staff. • CNIB Kelowna requested $5,000 and received $1,500. • Dance City Academy Tour Group requested $21,700 and didn’t receive anything. • Gellatly Bay Trails and Parks requested $2,000 and received $2,000. • Green Bay Bible Camp requested $25,000 and didn’t receive anything. • Kelowna Rowing Club requested $3,000 and received $1,500. • Kinsmen Club of West Kelowna requested $7,260 and didn’t receive anything. • Liquid Lightning Swim

Club requested $11,500 and received $11,500. • Okanagan Boys and Girls Club (Restorative Justice) requested $3,500 and received $3,500. • Scouts Canada - Westside Scouts requested $3,000 and received $1,500. • Telemark Cross Country Ski Club requested $1,500 and received $1,500. • Bridge Youth and Family Services requested $10,000 and received $3,000. • West Kelowna Community Policing Society requested $6,000 and received $5,000 • Westside Celebration Society requested $20,000 and re-

ceived $16,000. • Central Okanagan Bursary and Scholarship Society requested $1,000 and received $1,000. • Westside Community Food Bank requested $7,500 and received $3,000. • Westside Health Network Society requested $8,000 and received $8,000. • Westside Minor Fastball Association requested $3,500 and didn’t receive anything. • West Kelowna Yacht Club requested $10,000 and received $5,000. • Westside and District Chamber of Commerce request for $10,000 was rejected.

Public input sought on traffic strategy ideas for Shannon Lake neighbourhood The District of West Kelowna is inviting the community to attend an open house regarding a traffic strategy for the Shannon Lake neighbour-

hood. Participants will have the opportunity to speak with staff and consultants, view design concepts and provide feedback that will

be used in the creation of the strategy. The meeting will be held Thursday, Jan. 24, from 7 to 9 p.m., at Shannon Lake Elementary

School, 3044 Sandstone Dr. Concepts were designed based on input gathered at a community forum in 2012 and

traffic data collected in the neighbourhood to date. Additional feedback gathered at the open house will be used to assist staff in establishing

priority improvements for the area. In addition to the open house, residents are invited to complete an online survey, seeking feedback regarding sidewalks

vestment agreements with other countries. Only now we have the benefit of hindsight to look back for more perspective on this historic free trade agreement. Contrary to false and alarming claims made by critics at the time, the border has not disappeared. As proud Canadians, we continue to celebrate our love for our country and what it means to be Canadian every July 1. Not only have hardworking Canadians proven that we can compete today globally, we stand tall and continue to uphold those values that have built this great nation into one of the world’s leading economies. Since the Canada-U.S. free trade agreement began in 1989, Canada’s annual GDP has increased by over $1 trillion—that translates to almost 4.6 million more jobs here in Canada today. Two-way trade with the United States has almost tripled. As I travel throughout the Okanagan-Coquihalla

riding, I meet with many employers who depend upon free and unrestricted access to the United States market. However, it is also important to recognize that although “free trade” in principle provides unrestricted access, in reality there remain many barriers, regulatory red tape and other legislative road blocks that serve to stifle the movement of goods and services. For example, the “trusted trader” program is intended to assist those companies with cross-border trade opportunities, yet the registration process requires dealing with two different agencies of government essentially requiring similar information. My former private member bill addressed the problem where Canadian wineries could legally sell to a customer in Texas or Asia but not into Alberta or Manitoba. International ownership restrictions in one sector could put hundreds of local workers out of

a job. As another example in the wine sector, a winery looking to bottle and produce wine and create jobs here in the Okanagan will pay a duty on those grapes unless they are grown in Canada— even if there is a shortage of locally grown grapes. With this week being Red Tape Awareness Week, I believe it is important that we not just take notice, but take action, to eliminate those barriers that are standing in the way of creating and sustaining jobs. Sometimes the solutions are relatively simple. For example, in my bill, an amendment of roughly 50 words helped open up the Canadian wine market to Canadians. A proposed change to the food and drug regulations that would allow provincially regulated pharmacy technicians to transfer prescriptions to another pharmacy could benefit 15,000 pharmacists and save close to $9 million annually in ad-

ministrative costs. Another change is the ability to consolidate business accounts under one business number when dealing with the Canada Revenue Agency. This change allows business owners to spend more time running the business instead of time spent dealing with the criteria of the CRA. Another new initiative is the one for one rule. This rule ensures that each time a new regulation is introduced, it will be offset by the removal of another existing regulation. There are more initiatives that are underway, but these examples represent our government’s commitment to help business owners grow and focus on generating revenue and jobs, instead of being mired in regulatory red tape that in some cases can date back many decades or more.

It’s a new year and you’ve made a pact to eat healthy. But, now it’s almost a month later and you’re losing steam. So, what can you do to get back on track? First, it’s important to approach healthy eating in a realistic manner. Restricting foods, labeling foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ and not eating enough food can wreak havoc on your body—

emotionally and physically. It can lead to feelings of deprivation, overeating, and a resounding amount of guilt that can lead you back to square one. Instead, focus on small changes, healthy foods that you enjoy, and take the time to create a support system to help maintain lifelong healthy eating habits. Consider these three tips to stay on track. Be realistic. Trying to

tackle too much at once can be overwhelming. Big things happen when small, sustainable changes are repeated over a lifetime. By including a fruit at breakfast or an extra vegetable at dinner, you can achieve large goals over time. Choose actions that are relatively easy to fit into your day on an ongoing basis. Focus on the positive.

All too often, resolutions can leave you feeling deprived. Try reframing your resolutions to focus on things you will enjoy. Rather than restricting your favourite foods, try incorporating healthier foods that you enjoy more often and have fun trying some new foods too. Getting a new cookbook might serve as a special reward for yourself as well as an inspiration. Find support. Talk to your friends and family about the changes you’d like to make. You may be surprised to learn that others want to join you as you strive to make healthier choices at home, work, school and play.

had difficulty with understanding that your life expectancy is always increasing. Every minute that you continue to breathe is a minute you have avoided the possibility of dying. At age 42, my life expectancy is 83.5. If I successfully live to age 83.5, my life expectancy will have increased to 92. If I make it to age 92, it will increase to 97.2. Sometimes experts in life expectancy get involved to look at particular risk factors and pro-

vide opinions on life expectancy that are different from the statistical averages. For example, a smoker might have a lower life expectancy than the average. On the face of it, this seems fair. What about, though, if the reduction in life expectancy is caused by the crash injuries themselves? What if the crash injuries not only resulted in chronic pain and limited function, but also

shortened the victim’s life expectancy by five years? If so, is it fair for the insurance company to bring in a life expectancy expert to prove a shorter life expectancy in order to reduce their compensation bill by five years? It happens all the time. Is it fair? It smells bad. It smells really bad. Remember, though, that our system is based on fair financial compensation for losses that have actually been suffered, and are likely to be suffered in the future.

level of ongoing expense, whether it be for pain, sleep or depression medications, assistance for house and yard care, or ongoing passive or active therapies. It is often necessary, in order to properly crunch numbers to determine fair compensation for a claim, to come up with a determination of how long the innocent victim is going to live. The determination is done with statistics. Statisticians have analyzed statistics in order to come up with something called “life expectancy.” There are many online websites that will calculate life expectancy on being provided with an age and gender. One site that I access is www.lifeexpectancy.ca. According to that site, I have another 41.5 years, with a life expectancy of age 83.5. If calculating future losses for a personal injury claim, it is important to know what that means. One ICBC adjuster I dealt with argued that fu-

our grandfather is seriously injured in a crash. He survives, but is no longer able to live independently and must move into an assisted care facility. You help him make a claim against ICBC, the negligent driver’s insurance company, to recover fair financial compensation for his losses. His losses are significant. He is left with permanent functional limitations as well as chronic pain. He will incur sizeable monthly expenses for the rest of his life for medications, rehabilitation, and the assisted care facility. The expense side of the claim should be fairly easy to sort out, right? Take a tally of the monthly expenses and multiply that by how many more months your grandfather is going to live. So tell me. How long is your grandfather going to live? On the one extreme, he could have a heart attack or stroke and die tomorrow. On the other extreme, he might live to be 110. The issue of how long an injured victim is going to live comes up more often than you might think. - Most people suffering chronic crash related rsymptoms incur some n

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.
