Board opts to fold dance company Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Ballet Kelowna president Jaimie Maw says his board of directors was 94 per cent of the way there but still could not save Ballet Kelowna, but opted to fold the company after holding meetings last week. “It was a combination of things. The imminent retirement of artistic director David LaHay. The retraction of government funding—although it coincidentally falls (on the same night) as the government of B.C. announces its $6-million fund for the arts—it was just a number of things,” said Maw after a statement was issued to the press Friday. While the provincial government announced a $6-million initiative last Thursday aimed at bolstering support for cultural, community and sports initiatives for youth, the fund would not likely have offered many more funding avenues for the local dance company. A longtime supporter of the arts, Maw suggested the board’s primary objective was to remain financially responsible so neither the young dancers, nor the organization’s many dedicated supporters, would suffer losses as a result of the decision to fold. “Many arts organizations are becoming grant-writing organizations in order to sustain the arts,” he said. Newly-minted executive director for the company, Megan Williams, told Kelowna city council in April that finding the funding to keep the company afloat weighed heavily on her predecessor, Alison Moore. “Alison Moore said the funding issues contributed to her resignation,” said Williams, adding that it caused “fatigue.” The ballet was not yet eligible for funding through the Canada Council for the Arts or the B.C. Arts Council operational grants, relying heavily on noteworthy benefactors, such as Thomas Budd and the City of Kelowna, for the base funding to keep the doors open. The board of directors itself also staged three fundraisers annually, including their Hot Holiday Homes tour, their signature fundraising gala, Pirouette, and a Flower Power garden tour. All of that was enough to get them through a decade of operations. See Dance A8

MEMBERS of the Rotary Club of Kelowna started building their Canstruction project Monday in Orchard Park Shopping Centre. Nine different groups will build their creations from noon to 4 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday. The structures will remain on display until Feb. 11, then the food will be donated to the Kelowna Community Food Bank and Kelowna Salvation Army.

Canstruction takes food pyramid literally Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Usually it is considered rude to play with your food, but Kelowna Canstruction is exempt

from that rule. Nine teams began Monday to assemble unique creations in Orchard Park Shopping Centre Monday using only cans and other non-perishable food items.

Canstruction began as a New York City community service project in 1992. Since then it has spread to 167 cities across North America. The Rotary Club of Kelowna

began leading the event locally in 2011 and it has grown ever since. “We help the Kelowna Community Food Bank and the Sal-

▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Students aim to mobilize young voters

TO BELLA L O M

Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Javid Wu won’t be voting in the B.C. provincial election May 14. It’s not because he’s apathetic or uneducated; in fact, he’s quite the opposite. Wu, the executive chairperson of the Okanagan College Students’ Union, is a Chinese international student, so voting in the provincial election isn’t an option for him. But that’s not stopping him from taking action. Wu and other volunteers began the Rock the Vote BC campaign at the college Monday. “It’s really important to encourage young people to get out there, vote and raise their voices,” said Wu. “(Some) don’t think their vote matters, they don’t think that it could make a change. But, if we all think like that, nothing is going to happen.” The goal of the campaign is to educate and mobilize students and young voters in the Okanagan in the 100 days leading up to the May. 14 provincial election. Monday’s Rock the Vote BC kickoff featured a T-shirt design station, a “Why I’m voting” photo booth and trained volun-

Wu said the amount of student interest in the campaign was slightly

lower than what they had hoped for, but noted those who stopped by discussed issues such as transportation, housing and tuition costs. He added the group will continue the campaign with weekly events

during the 100 days leading up to the election. The target is to register 600 student voters at the Kelowna campus. “One of the greatest predictors of voter turnout is registration status,” said Chad Athay, campaigns

director for the students’ union. “If a student or youth is registered, there is a much higher probability of th em turning out on election day.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

▼ TOURISM PROMOTION

Campaign to attract corporate meetings Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna is now playing in the big leagues as a Canadian destination for meetings. While the recession and improvements in telecommunications has reduced the amount of corporate meetings up for grabs, the city is now vying with larger and more prominent centres, such as Ottawa, Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler, to entice groups looking for a place to meet, said the head of Tourism Kelowna Monday. Nancy Cameron, CEO for Tourism Kelowna, gave her annual state of the local industry presentation to Kelowna city council, saying the city is now considered a “tier one” city when it comes to being a spot for destination meetings. As a result, the local tourism marketing organization is targeting potential groups in a bid to bring more meetings here. With a meetings sales manager based in Toronto, as well as a meetings and events sales manager here and a full-time per-

son in charge of attracting sports events, Cameron said Tourism Kelowna is making the attraction of meetings and sports events a big focus of its work this year. “This has been a year-long effort for us, with $15,000 of hard costs and immeasurable hours of staff time,” she told council. The local tourism industry, which according to a December 2011 study generates a total economic impact of $653 million, accounts for 7,072 direct jobs, attracts 1.5 million visitors each year and accounts for $176 million in direct wages, is now a true economic generator for this area, said Cameron. But while the industry continues to rebound from the downturn caused by the recession, it is providing Kelowna Tourism with niche markets to concentrate on. With more than 90 per cent of visitors from Canada—and 56 per cent of them from B.C.—the traditional summer family vacation remains big business. But in recent years, other reasons that are also attracting people to the Kelowna have sprang up, such as golf, winery

holidays and agri-tourism. So Kelowna Tourism has targeted all three. As a result of campaigns that have included liberal use of social media, Cameron said the city has seen large increases in the number of people coming here for those recreational pursuits. “We have used a targeted approach to generate inquiries (from potential tourists),” said Cameron. “Once here, we provide them with information they may not get elsewhere to increase their spending, increase their length of stay and their referrals (to others). That’s what we’re really after.” And, in a bid to increase its visibility, Kelowna Tourism says it is looking forward to a new visitor information centre downtown near The Sails at Abbott Street and Bernard Avenue. Council voted last year to support the new location. While the centre is still in the planning stages, there is no firm timeline for when it would be built, and Coun. Robert Hobson said the province will need to get on board to make the building a

reality. Kelowna Tourism is also expanding its reach. It recently made a deal with Lake Country to include marketing that area as a tourism destination as part of its Kelowna brand, said Cameron. Working with 300 local business here, Kelowna Tourism generated $2.6 million in revenue last year, more than half of it from the two per cent hotel room tax levied and used to market this area as a tourism destination. It also raised revenue from a similar tax collected by some West Kelowna accommodation sites that want to be included in Kelowna Tourism’s marketing plans. Tourism marketing for this area is also expected to get a much needed shot in the arm in the coming months, when a series of short television spots start to air across the country produced by The Travel Guys, a pair of presenters who highlight destination spots and broadcast their experiences. The spots will run in 16 different markets across Canada.

German festival tradition to get revived in Kelowna Wade Paterson

ern California, Karneval began in Germany in the 16th century to allow commoners to mock the monarchy and politicians without fear of retribution. The height of the Karneval season is typically during the two weeks leading up to Ash Wednesday. “In the past it was (biggest) in Cologne, Dusseldorf and Mainz. But now it’s everywhere,” said Jansen. The Kelowna event, which takes place Friday and Saturday, will feature local talent. Jansen said the Canadian School of Ballet will be involved in the two-and-a-half hour show.

STAFF REPORTER

Twelve years ago, Herman Jansen, director of the German-Canadian Harmonie Club, brought the traditions of German Karneval to Kelowna. The community responded favourably. “It was sold out in two hours,” said Jansen. Jansen’s health issues stopped the event from continuing in the following years, but now he’s excited to bring back a celebration for which he has fond memories. According to information provided by the Anaheim Karnevalsgesellschaft Club in South-

“Ten minutes is German, the rest is dancing, singing, music and it looks beautiful. If we did this show in Germany, everybody would say it was a good show.” After the show there will be dancing with music by the club’s own Harmony Trio. Taking the show’s popularity 12 years ago into account, Jansen said two Karneval celebrations were planned Feb. 8 and 9 to allow as many people as possible to attend the event. Tickets are still available and the Karneval show and dance is open to the entire community. “We want people to

Kelowna woman wants to raise public awareness about eating disorders

The effects of an eating disorder took Kelowna resident Ashley Polson down a rocky road that nearly ended in death. When Polson was 16 years old, she began to struggle with anorexia after she had gained a significant amount of weight in a short period of time due to the side effects of a medication. The struggle lasted seven years and got to the point where Polson began to contemplate taking her own life. She had started an online video blog to document her struggle with the eating disorder. One follower was able to convince her to change her mind. -- “On the day I decided to end my life, --one of them was talking with me,” said ..Polson, in a release by the Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness campaign. “He talked me through things, got eeme to stop and go to the hospital, and ofsfered to help me. As a result, my life was eesaved, and I was able to get treatment out oo

of the country.” According to Polson, the treatment was offered as a gift and has allowed her to carry on with life. She has shared her story as part of a psychology DVD accompanying a textbook used in universities across North America to help educate others on eating disorders. “That to me was one of the best things, to know that I could make a difference in someone else’s life and potentially save a life.” The Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness campaign launches during the first full week in February with activities and events taking place throughout the year. It is a province-wide effort to raise awareness around prevention and early intervention of eating disorders. To learn more about the campaign, visit facebook.com/loveourbodiesloveourselves.

Kelowna restaurants raise money for children’s dreams Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

While thousands of Kelowna residents supported Wendy’s Dreamlift Day on Jan. 30, the Sunshine Foundation of Canada is hopeful the community is still hungry to make dreams come true

for children suffering from severe disabilities or life-threatening illnesses. The inaugural Downtown Kelowna Restaurant Tour is the first local fundraiser to be put on by the Sunshine Foundation’s B.C. Interior Chapter. Money raised will go toward helping the foun-

dation fund individual dreams for children who may not be physically able to participate in a Dreamlift to Disneyland. Participants will meet at one of three designated restaurants—Ginza Japanese Restaurant, Memphis Blues Barbeque House or Yellow House

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option Minor shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our shoulder joints move every time we move our arms, these aches often become chronic repetitive injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and calcified tendonitis. Many of us have knots and spasms and think, “it’s just something I have to live with…it’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies. Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury. Over and over in my practice I hear “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked…what do I do?” I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury. Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process. It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

done it for eight years— it’s been a huge success. This year they had 220 people,” said Miller. She added the event will give participating local restaurants exposure during the downtown revitalization project, which has slowed down business for some shops and eat-

Next Bernard upgrade phase begins It’s happening again. Beginning Monday at 5 a.m., another section of Bernard Avenue, from Abbott to Pandosy streets, closed to motorists to accommodate utility replacement and streetscaping for the second phase of the Bernard Avenue revitalization project. With the closure of Abbott Street at Bernard Avenue, commuters are advised to use alternate accesses to the downtown core. Abbott has a dual right-turn lane onto Leon Avenue and detour routes will be clearly marked. As well, traffic safety personnel will be on site directing traffic. The multi-million dollar revitalization project, which started last fall at the east end of Bernard, from Richter Street to St. Paul Street, is being done in three phases. This second phase will wrap up in late spring and the third phase will be completed next fall and early winter. During the construction, the city has used the phrase “It’s Happening” to promote the downtown

During the second phase of the work, transit routes into and out of the Queensway transit station will continue as usual, routes serving downtown

may experience delays due to construction. Go to bctransit.com/ regions/kel for information about transit schedules. The city says access to businesses and pedestrian walkways will be a priority and maintained whenever possible during the work, with pedestrian crossings at Mill Street and Water Street to be per-

mitted when safe. An amendment to the city’s noise bylaw was granted by council to allow for extended construction hours, from 6 a.m. to midnight, to help speed the work along. Occasional work may also occur outside of these times to minimize impacts on businesses and limit the time of active construction in the area.

Theft charges involve bank account for high school band A 47-year-old Kelowna woman has been charged with theft, fraud and forging documents after nearly $23,000 went missing from the Okanagan Mission Secondary

school band parents’ program fundraising account in 2010-2011. School staff noticed the money had gone missing when efforts to review the fund turned up

unauthorized activity in the account. The discrepancy prompted a call to police on Feb. 15, 2012, and the investigation revealed that 37 cheques had been

forged between May 2010 and August 2011 with a total loss of $22,894.12 from the account. The former treasurer of the band parents’ program fundraising account,

Elizabeth Sherwood, was identified as a suspect early in the course of the investigation. She has been charged with theft over $5,000, forging documents and

fraud over $5,000. She is scheduled to ap-

pear in court on May 12, 2013.

Reprieve for watershed management The International Joint Commission has issued an Order of Approval renewing the State of Washington’s authority to operate Zosel Dam and making minor modifications in how water levels on Osoyoos Lake will be managed. The dam, located in Oroville, Wash., is subject to international jurisdiction because it regulates the outflow from Osoyoos Lake, and backs water across the border into British Columbia, including the Okanagan Valley watershed. “Thanks to the active participation in the process by watershed residents and input from the state and province, the IJC was able to thoroughly vet the issues affecting both countries before revising this order,” said IJC Commissioner Lyall Knott. “As we move forward, we will continue to engage stakeholders in the watershed, and keep them advised of the reservoir operations and water levels. Cooperation is an ongoing process,” added IJC commissioner Rich Moy. One of the groups contributed research and scientific information to that discussion was the Okanagan Basin Water Board. “I think most of the things we wanted to see in the Order have happened,” said Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the OBWB. “There were no surprises…there was no guaranteed flow on the American side at our expense, acknowledgement of the need to protect our fisheries…” The current Orders for Zosel Dam were scheduled to expire in February and April 2013. The renewal process began in 2000 with the scoping of issues related to water levels, future water supplies and water quality in order to develop a plan of study. A number of these issues had been raised at the annual public meetings of the International Osoyoos Lake Board of Control, which was appointed by the IJC to oversee implementation of its Orders. The IJC launched eight studies in 2006 and these were completed in 2011. Stakeholders also held in-depth discussions of watershed issues at the Osoyoos Lake Water Science Forums held in September 2007 and September 2011. In a June 2012 report to the IJC, the board concluded that the current Orders have adequately facilitated control of water levels in Osoyoos Lake, to the extent possible, primarily for the benefit of agriculture, tourism, municipal interests and fisheries protection. The IJC held public hearings in Oroville, Washington and Osoyoos on July 24 and 25, 2012, respectively, and met with the Osoyoos Indian Band on July 25, 2012. Several shoreline residents in Canada voiced the view that a sustained maximum lake level of 912.5 feet would be too high because of concerns about flooding, erosion, riparian habitat, endangered species and navigation. The IJC Commissioners heard these concerns and, after due consideration and consultation with the Board, made adjustments to the rule curve recommended by the board in their June 2012 report. The commissioners decided that the rule curve would include a one footrange with a 912-foot maximum in the summer under normal conditions, and a two-foot range with a 912.5foot maximum during drought years. The IJC was established under the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 to help Canada and the United States prevent and resolve disputes over the waters they share. One of the IJC’s main responsibilities is to approve projects that affect the natural water levels and flows on the other side of the international boundary.

Library initiative hopes to promote better literacy

▼ WESTSIDE

The Okanagan Regional Library has unveiled its first valley-wide reading project, Okanagan Reads. Aimed at promoting literacy, the project will encourage participants throughout the Okanagan to read the same book. Shoot!, a western novel set in the Thompson Okanagan in the late 1800s by George Bowering, an award-winning Okanagan author and Canada’s first Poet Laureate, has been selected as the book for Okanagan Reads. Bowering has published more than 80 books of fiction, history, plays and poetry. “This ‘one book/one community’ project provides an opportunity for people to read, discuss and connect,” said librarian Fern Teleglow, coordinator of the project. “The Okanagan has a rich heritage and we hope our choice of one book will not only encourage reading, but also connect the community with the history of the area.” Okanagan Reads, which started Feb. 1 and runs through March 8, will feature author readings, film screenings and book discussions in library branches across the region. Readers can follow the dialogue at okanaganreads.ca and join the discussion on the library’s social media channels. Shoot! follows the adventures of the McLean Gang and brings to life the historical account of the murder of constable Johnny Ussher in the 1800s. Known as “breeds,” mixed Scottish and Salish blood, the McLeans were outcasts of both cultures and destined to be outlaws. British Columbia, and in particular the Okanagan, appear frequently in George Bowering’s work, who was born in Penticton and raised in Oliver. “He paints vitality into the world he creates,” says Teleglow. “Any reader familiar with the area will never look at the history, the hills, and the people the same way ever again.” Extra copies of Shoot! have been purchased and are also available as Quick Reads, seven-day library loans. Shoot! is also available from local bookstores. The project is made possible by a $24,000 Libraries and Literacy grant from the B.C. Ministry of Education and support from New Star Books and local Okanagan media.

Westbank First Nation Chief Robert Louie was as surprised as anyone when news broke about the closure of Future Shop in West Kelowna. WFN, along with Anthem Properties Group Ltd., own Snyatan Shopping Centre, which includes Winners, Dollar Tree, Bulk Barn, Second Cup, Peace Hills Trust and, until last week, Future Shop. “We were shocked, quite frankly,” said Louie. “All the information we had available to us strongly suggested they were doing quite well there. We believe it’s strictly a head office decision.” Future Shop opened just 16 months ago with hundreds lined up outside its doors to get their first glimpse of the store. Louie is optimistic it won’t take too long to fill the now vacant 20,000-square-foot retail facility, but said the closure does have an effect on the band. “There is an impact, there’s no question about it. Future Shop was a very strong tenant. Certainly I think they added value to the community. I think the public will certainly miss Future Shop. “They still have a lease with us—of course that

we’ll just have to look to how it’s going to be filled.” Anthem Properties Group Ltd. didn’t comment on the closure of Future Shop, noting it’s against their company policy; however, they admitted they too were “surprised” by the news. Several big box stores currently do business on WFN land, but Louie doesn’t believe this clos-

ure indicates a trend that might affect other large shopping outlets. Louie said WFN staff have talked to some of the other Snyatan Shopping Centre business owners and they don’t think the shutdown will have a major impact on their business. “Our partners…are actively seeking other major tenants. I don’t think that building is going to be

empty too long.” Louie said he sympathized with the nearly 50 employees who lost their jobs Thursday. West Kelowna Future Shop was one of 15 Best Buy and Future Shop locations across Canada to shut its doors for good Thursday as part of a “transformational strategy.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

Omnibus bills mute public debate

f the federal Conservative government hasn’t already thought about its penchant for omnibus bills in Parliament, it needs to. The Idle No More movement has focused some of its attention on changes to federal legislation like the Navigable Waters Protection Act and Environmental Assessment Act, which are rolled into an omnibus bill. These bills, often part of a budget, give MPs little chance to debate important issues because there are so many items

jammed together. The Conservatives did not invent this strategy, but they have honed it to a fine art. Omnibus bills began appearing regularly during the five years the Conservatives governed with a minority, and were often crafted in such a way as to keep at least one opposition party from voting against the government. While this was an understandable legislative strategy, the need for such omnibus bills does not exist when there is a majority government. But the government of Prime Minis-

ter Stephen Harper likes the approach because it limits the usefulness of Parliament and the ability of its critics to draw much public attention. That worked fine when the critics were solely from the opposition parties. But when they are from outside Parliament and are energized by a variety of causes, as is Idle No More, omnibus bills have the potential to do a great deal of harm. The harm comes from emasculating legitimate opposition in Parliament, where differences within a democracy need to be

discussed. If too many people believe Parliament doesn’t work any more, and this leads them to do serious damage to Canada’s economy because of their frustrations, omnibus bills become very dangerous. The Conservative government has nothing to fear from its opponents in Parliament. It has a majority, and it should be ready and willing to hear criticism of its plans. The federal government needs to choose a path which is working towards positive change.

It had big plays, scores and hype that often turned out

to be more exciting than the game itself. Canadian football fans looked with derision as the “big game” down south rarely lived up to its billing, while the more down-to-earth Grey Cup game—the CFL’s equivalent— proved year after year to be an exciting finale to its league’s season. Sure, the Super Bowl kept attracting viewers even during the dull years, but that had more to do with the fact football is more akin to religion in the United States. In places like Texas and Oklahoma, some high school games attract more fans than professional football does in Canada.

It’s not uncommon for college stadiums to hold 80,000, 90,000 or even 100,000 fans and be packed on game day. We think we are rabid about hockey in Canada, try football in Dallas or Houston. Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers had classic written all over it before the two teams even took to the field. The biggest surprise was Baltimore racing out to such a big lead in the first half and then added to it on the first play of the second half. It took kick returner Jacoby Jones just 11 seconds to race 108 yards, slicing his way through 11 defenders to put the Raven up 28-6.

But then the lights went out. And for San Francisco, during that 34-minute partial blackout, a light seemed to go on. After play resumed, it was all San Fran. We had a game. But in the end, the 49ers came up just short. Or Baltimore hung on— it depends who you were rooting for. Either way, it was a great game. As for the power outage, it just made my view of Super Bowl XLVII on my LI-inch television, all the more fun. Alistair Waters is the assistant editor of the Capital News. awaters@kelonwacapnews.com

I knew about the dangers of guns, gun safety, and how serious one must take it at a very early age, way before I even went to school. At age 11, I was given the chance to learn how to shoot because I took an interest. You would think that growing up on a farm with a dad as a hunter, I learned to shoot at home but that was not the case. I learned at a firing range along side a biathlon group. Learning how to shoot at the firing range taught me even more about gun safety and how to be aware of other people around you. With so many people shooting rifles in one place, gun safety had to come first, before trying to better your skills, before trying to see your score, safety was the first thing you thought about and was engraved in me even more. When I turned 12, I officially join the group. I entered my first biathlon race and continued to race for four years. From the ages of 11 to 16, I was surrounded by other peo-

ple my age that not only had guns at home but, come practise time, had guns on their backs as they skied around on public trails. Never once did I see any gun violence, not once and we were all young people competing against each other. Any young person has their own troubles they are working through and here was a bunch of them, competing against each other with guns and ammo on their backs. Not once was there a gun related accident or incident. To me, this means one thing and one thing only—gun control is not the problem, lack of mental health is. No mentally stable and calm person would ever consider shooting another human being, no matter what troubles they may face in life. We already have gun control and it does a great job at filtering who can legally own a firearm. For my firearm license, I had to take a safety course and pass an exam. On top of that, I had to have someone who knew me for five years or more answer and sign a form with questions about how they knew me, if I ever suffered from depression, and if they thought it would be safe to allow me to have a firearm license. You can’t receive a license without taking the course, passing the exam, and having someone legally vouch for you that you are a mentally stable and re-

sponsible person. It is usually people who obtain a firearm illegally that cause the problem with gun violence and mass shootings. I don’t know how to stop those people from obtaining firearms, but I know the answer doesn’t lie in making it difficult for stable and responsible people to enjoy the sport of shooting. Maybe we can’t stop them from obtaining guns illegally, but we can help people before they get the thought in their head to shoot someone. We need more mental health awareness; we need more mental health options; we need young people to start accepting each other. Mental health needs to be popular, we need to make it common knowledge in schools, and we need to make it feel like a normal and shameless thing to seek help for. It should be as easy as going to a vending machine and buying a Coke. If you need help or comfort, it should be made easily accessible. I realize there are school counselors to help with this but the problem is getting counseling isn’t popular. Maybe it should be. Maybe it should be mandatory for every kid, to have a quick one-on-one with a counselor every couple of weeks or once a month. A quick check-up. Hey what’s new, what’s on your mind and what’s been challenging you

lately? Anyone can easily answer these questions and maybe we should all have to. Mentally unstable or not, it would show students someone is there that cares, someone to give you guidance in achieving your goals, and someone who can recommend more help if you need it. I see one problem with this idea, it doesn’t reach out to those who have dropped out of school but it would be a good start. Perhaps once we make ways to make mental help popular, it will be easy for anyone to seek help. As easy as buying a can of Coke. Perhaps if this was implemented as early as elementary school, we would have fewer dropouts. I don’t know. I’m just a former biathlete, target shooter and business owner. I don’t have a background in violence or counseling, but it seems like a common sense answer to me. If you are anti-gun violence, be pro-mental health. If the stories of school shootings strike a deep chord within you, then do something today that can actually make a difference. Donate to your local mental health organization. Let’s take control and create the world we want to live in, one healthy mind at a time.

▼ CROSSROADS

Detox clinic should be financial priority To the editor: I have never been employed by or been inside Crossroads, the Kelowna/ Rutland Detox Addiction Centre, nor have I ever been a client or has any member of my family. However, I feel compelled to write this open letter to the public. There is no doubt, there are many similar heartfelt stories in our community. This facility needs validation and it’s worth knowing about. A short while back, I witnessed a middle-aged daughter standing by her dying mother’s bedside as she held her thin, feeble, overworked mother’s hands. The daughter, then turned to a few of us and openly admitted that she had not been a good daughter, nor had she been there for her parents. She sadly admitted that drugs and liquor had taken priority for her. She named names of staff that helped her at the detox unit and proudly stated: “If it wasn’t for

them, I’d be dead and perhaps I’d of taken others with me.” After a courageous fight and numerous failiures, she was clean and had been that way for a while. Her battle with her demons had ended and her mom passed peacefully in her loving arms. The genuine comfort that was given to this old lady was priceless, thanks to the help and support from the detox unit. I also know of a family man, well educated and in a position of authority with happy employees. The family had it all, or so it seemed. However this gentleman began drinking liquor at work, from his so-called coffee cup, in his car, in the garage, anywhere he felt hidden and safe from other people’s eyes. Eventually, hard liquor manifested into drugs. His productivity at home and at the office was reduced. His three teenage children were displaying failure as well.

After years of hardship, this man checked into the Crossroads Treatment Centre. The road back wasn’t without pain for his spouse and children, however, when help was offered, there was victory. It now appears that the family bond is stronger and firmly in place. I do believe there is a grandchild on the way come spring. It’s wonderful to think this child will be welcomed into a complete family. We so unexpectedly and readily meet individuals along our life’s journeys that are in need, and when positive endings are recognized, it’s a good thing. When I heard that Crossroads was to be closed, I was shocked and in disbelief. This decision is an extremely poor and scary one. This is not a matter of funding. This is a matter of life and death for the young and old, rich and poor. Where is the common

sense? Are we over-civilized, or are “the powers that be” unaware of Kelowna’s need and overwhelming impact that will be eventually felt in our area with the closure of Crossroads? If this detox unit is closed, stand back for the fallout. Many people will be on the streets, getting deeper and deeper into their whirlpool of need. Are you willing to welcome someone into

your home at 3 a.m. who has been knocking on your door or sleeping in your foyer? The police or the hospital don’t have the time to deal with this. Please note Interior Health, it’s simple—there are allotted dollars for diabetic counselling, weight management, baby clinics, etc. Are addicted people worth less than that consideration? M. L. Peters, Kelowna

The West Kelowna teenager currently on trial for murder will finally tell her version of the events that left one of her peers dead, and turned a quiet Peachland street into a chaotic crime scene. The 18-year-old, whose name is under a publication ban, is alleged to have stabbed Ashlee Hyatt, 16, in her neck after an argument at a June 2, 2010, party. It’s a story that Crown counsel Murray Kaay assembled a number of witnesses to tell from varying angles, but defence lawyer Ingrid Friesen pointed out Friday that none of those viewpoints added up to a complete picture. “You as a jury will be the first to hear her side of the story—she wants very much to tell it,” Friesen told a B.C. Supreme Court jury Friday. “She’s been waiting two years to tell it.” The accused, who defence described as a “new girl trying to fit in at a new school,” has seen her point of view be absent in the last two weeks of trial, as even RCMP officers who dealt with the investigation failed to offer her perspective on what happened that night. What the jury has learned from teen witnesses who were there, however, is that the accused kissed a boy, while her boyfriend was nearby. This apparently upset Hyatt and the two started exchanging verbal barbs, which escalated to further pushing on the street, and eventually Hyatt was fatally wounded. Continuing on with the altercation, however, was the teenage host of the party. The defence has already suggested she was the one who brought the knife to the fight between the accused and Hyatt, and Friday two witnesses took the witness stand to highlight the teenage host’s behaviour in the aftermath and leading up to the fatal altercation. They also called upon George Young, who lives adjacent to the party house, to give testimony. Young testified he was brought into the fray when he heard a teenage boy in the street talking into his cellphone, saying, “It’s going down, it’s going down, it’s happening now.”

There he began vigorously digging a hole, tossing plants aside as he went. A loud rap on the window sent him scurrying through the trees to the road, but the damage had been done in the garden. What if someone had come around the corner of the house and surprised that big animal? Others tell of watching as a large black bear ambled up their residential street, systematically exploring every driveway for garbage bins left out or other treats to eat, knocking over bins and laying down in the mess of trash in the road, while chewing on whatever was available.

ENGINEERING students use the glass wall as a whiteboard in one of the break-out rooms in the Engineering, Management and Education Building.

▼ UBC OKANAGAN

New addition to campus master plan completed An impressive high-tech building designed to inspire students and produce extraordinary research collaboration was officially opened last week at the UBC Okanagan campus. At 186,000 square feet, and completed with a budget of $68 million, the Engineering, Management and Education (EME) building is home to four faculties and schools: The School of Engineering, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Management and the College of Graduate Studies. It is the largest single project undertaken as part of the campus master plan. “The people who will make the significant discoveries of the next generation are in the classrooms and labs of this new Engineering, Management and Education building,” said UBC president Stephen Toope. “Students, researchers, and scholars will redefine our notion of the world by challenging concepts and engaging with students and society in new understanding. Together, they will improve our world from within these walls. That is truly exciting.” “We are proud to have invested over $40 million in this building and I want to thank our partners for their generous investments in our province’s future,” added John Yap, B.C. Minister of Advanced Education, Innovation and Technology. “As part of our Skills and Training Plan, we’re taking an important step to ensure we have qualified civil, electrical and mechanical engineering professionals, as well as business leaders and educators, to meet the anticipated labour market demands in British Columbia.” “We spend a lot of time thinking about how our university can have the greatest impact on our region and beyond,” said Deborah Buszard, UBC deputy vice-chancellor and principal of the Okanagan campus. “The faculties housed in this building are transformative influences in the Okanagan and they have great impact far beyond our region. “This is where our future engineers, teachers, and business leaders are learning about the world and how they can im-

prove it.” UBCO plays a critical role in the Okanagan, and this facility will ensure engineering, management and education students are able to train in B.C. to help meet the needs of our local and provincial economy, now and for the future, noted Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart. “What began as a conceptual drawing on a campus master plan has become a wonderful, thriving reality,” said Spiro Yannacopoulos, director of the School of Engineering. “There are literally hundreds of examples of how the students and members of faculty who call this building home are engaged in research with the power to transform society.” Engineering researchers, for instance, are developing the building blocks for light-speed computers that could revolutionize the notion of what computers can do. Green roof research is underway that will help semi-arid regions around the world design more sustainable buildings. Civil engineers are helping communities make better decisions about how and when to replace aging—and failing—pipes, roads and bridges. Education researchers are developing the next generation of classrooms in their innovation lab, and helping teachers better understand ways to mindfully engage students. Management researchers are helping us understand social networks and consumer culture. The EME building was designed and built with the needs of students in mind. One of the building’s distinguishing features is the Richard S. Hallisey Atrium, providing bright, spacious areas for students, faculty and staff from all programs to socialize, study and interact. Multipurpose classrooms and laboratory facilities bring students together through cross-disciplinary learning opportunities. Not only functional, the EME building is environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. Construction was performed to a Gold Seal standard—in 2010 the national Gold Seal program used this project as a showcase for Gold Seal Certification.

or those who are interested in organizational dynamics, and decision-making in particular, there could be no better real-life example than the so-called Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. Perhaps at no other time in recorded history have the fortunes of so many rested in the deliberations of so few. Just over 50 years ago, the crisis erupted when American U-2 surveillance flights over Cuba revealed what was believed to be the construction of missile sites capable of firing medium and intermediate range missiles and the assembly of bomber planes. It was believed the missiles were being installed courtesy of the Soviet Union and, thus, possessed nuclear capability. The crisis has been detailed in many books over the years but recently has been revisited in light of the publication of secret White House recordings of executive meetings in that crucial period. Sheldon Stern’s 2012 book, The Cuban Missile Crisis in American Memory: Myths Versus Reality, exposes much of the accepted history of this time as fiction. For buffs of factual examples of organizational dynamics in action, there probably is (thanks to the existence of the tape recordings) no other instance in which the absolute truth of the workings of such a momentous decision can be known. For that reason, this period of American politics provides an invaluable study in human behavior, both individually and in groups. The decision of how to respond to the revelation of the Soviet missile sites in Cuba rested, ultimately, in the hands of then U.S. President John F. Kennedy. But JFK was not alone —far from it—as he assembled an executive committee team comprising over a dozen senior governmental officials and met with them several times daily during the weeks in which the drama unfolded. JFK had present his vice-president (Lyndon Johnson), secretary of defense (Robert McNamara), secretary of

Robert Smithson state (Dean Rusk), chairman of the joint chiefs of staff (Maxwell Taylor), special assistant for national security (McGeorge Bundy), attorney general (Robert F. Kennedy), ambassador to the United Nations (Adlai Stevenson), CIA director (John McCone), a former ambassador to the Soviet Union (Llewellyn Thompson) and a half-dozen or more other advisors present for ongoing strategy sessions.

At times, it appeared JFK was the lone voice advocating a diplomatic solution rather than an aggressive, military one. Virtually every other member of the executive committee preferred, at one point or another, a military strike against Cuba (whether in the form of air strikes targeted at the nuclear and surface-to-air missile sites or by way of a full scale sea to land invasion). The dynamic of JFK’s executive committee meetings appears, based on the verbatim record of the tapes, to have been one of wide open discussion. Every man present had to varying degrees their input as the two weeks progressed and the

tension ratcheted higher and higher. Stern’s book, based on the verbatim record of the meetings, demonstrates that Robert Kennedy was, in these meetings, far from the “dove” he later portrayed himself to have been in his own book, Thirteen Days. Robert Kennedy seems to have consistently advocated an aggressive military response and any attempt he made after JFK’s death to share credit for the defusing of the crisis now has to be considered disingenuous at best. Reading Stern’s book, one gets the feeling that JFK must have felt, in the

BUSINESS

Understanding the entrepreneur psyche JFK makes pressure call in missile crisis I f this entrepreneurially-minded columnist were to choose a patron saint, I’d nominate the economist Joseph A. Schumpeter. He was, history has told us, one of the most astute business thinkers who ever lived, often called the Father of Entrepreneurship. In his classic book of 1911, The Theory Of Economic Development, Schumpeter broke with traditional thinking about business, enthroning the entrepreneur as the source of all economic progress. One of the hallmarks of his 1911 book is that he ventured into territory where no economist had traveled before— the psychology of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs, he insisted, are not propelled solely by a wish to grow rich or by any “motivation of the hedonistic kind.” Instead, they feel the “will to conquer; the impulse to fight; to prove oneself superior to others; to succeed for the sake, not of the fruits of success, but success…itself. There is the unmistakable joy of creating, of getting things done and simply exercising one’s energy and ingenuity to find solutions, not problems.” Today, for the first time in our history a majority of the world’s peo-

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young ple are living in countries with capitalist economies. As a result, the entrepreneurial business environment is changing at a faster pace than any other time in history as well. The process of globalization and the development of the Internet have transformed our world, creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs everywhere. The choice today is whether a person will be on the giving or receiving end of creative destruction as Schumpeter liked to put it. Will you be the creator and developer of a new opportunity for the world to embrace or one whose venture is overtaken and destroyed by someone else, outworking you at home or abroad? That’s always up to you. Increasingly, as entrepreneurs create more and more exciting new ventures for us to enjoy, they are also attracting vigorous scrutiny.. But there is a growing body of research from those who are continual-

ly trying to learn why entrepreneurs seem to have an intense flame burning inside. To understand the entrepreneur, you first have to understand the psychology of a juvenile, said Abraham Zaleznik, a Harvard professor. His remark is not to be taken facetiously as the hallmark of the entrepreneur is a drive for autonomy, for a freedom from restraints that speaks to an inner rebelliousness and a fearlessness in the face of risk. But since there are countless paths to entrepreneurial bliss, there is no secret formula. It’s like trying to prescribe the secrets to a happy life. A typical entrepreneur is absolutely sure he or she cannot fail. Because they believe so much in themselves, an entrepreneur calculates their odds differently than outsiders might. They seem to have a particular style of gathering required information, casting a wider net than do their less-enterprising peers. According to a recent research study, the entrepreneur naturally cultivates contacts, gathers inside sources, reads widely and listens well. Their curiosity is immense. There are many other routes to an assertive

independence. For example, George Lucas, the moviemaker behind the Star Wars epics and founder of Lucasfilm, remembers producing backyard carnivals, which, he says, “were far more elaborate and profitable versions of a Kool-Aid stand.” Some personality theorists cite such enterprise as an instance of forming one’s own identity by emulating successful adults. Others also see such early initiative as a strong sense of competence, the belief that one can accomplish whatever one sets out to do. Interestingly, Lucas says his refusal to give up his autonomy to Hollywood was a straightforward artistic decision. He wished to control his art form which led to his independence. He is quoted as saying that Star Wars was something nobody understood—a movie with robots for the two leading characters? Hollywood producers thought he was nuts, but history now says he knew better. So here is my message this week: It’s not enough for the budding entrepreneur to be a brilliant creator of perceived opportunities. They must also be a savvy politician, a charismatic speaker, an inspir-

ing coach, a bit of a technical expert of sorts and an efficient manager/administrator. Not just anyone can take on that task; there is a unique set of psychological skills that the research tells us the entrepreneur must possess. Ultimately, my friends, that picture displays a person who combines merciless drive with talents so great that one is merely tempted to “cheer them on.” Hence, the entrepreneurial pysche may prompt a sort of “splitting” if you will, the form of a mental split in how the entrepreneur sees the world, full of blocks and frustrations, and the other being an ideal of freedom. Entrepreneurs are compelled to seek their freedom by building their own entrepreneurial journey and destination rather than being trapped in someone else’s. In Canada, these people need to play a larger mythic role in our culture, one that echoes the romance once projected onto the men and women of our once new Canadian frontier…and, for me, that’s just fine. Joel Young is an entrepreneurship leadership coach and the founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society.

Time and time again, the group—individually and collectively—took runs at his preferred course, which was to initiate a blockade to turn away incoming military shipments and to engineer a trade with the Soviets (the removal of the missiles and sites from Cuba in exchange for the Americans’ removal of Jupiter missiles located in Turkey). JFK did seem to waver in his certainty of the correct course at times, but then who wouldn’t in those circumstances? JFK and his team were faced with a covert plan by the Soviets to deploy the weapons in Cuba, were reliant on military assessments of high-level photography of the missile sites, were interpreting highly contradictory messages from various Soviet sources about their motivations, could only speculate about Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s true intentions, and dealt with a situation which was changing moment by moment. While JFK tightly held the reins on the final decision, as the executive committee was not an exercise in democracy, the meetings were by no means a one man show. It seems accurate, though, that JFK was the only person present in the executive committee meetings who truly grasped and appreciated that nuclear war—or even the risk of it—would never be (as Stern put it in his book) “a viable or rational choice.” Personally, I’ve never held the “management by committee” concept in high regard. My belief is that you choose the horse you’re going to ride and you ride it until it gives you a reason to find a new horse. Had JFK allowed a majority, or even near-unanimity, to determine America’s course in the face of Soviet aggression in Cuba, it is entirely possible the confrontation would have boiled over into direct military action between the two nuclear superpowers. We can’t be certain whether either side would have pushed the button on its nuclear arsenal in that event, and we’re likely far better off for not knowing.

finance Fraud prevention tips for older adults (NC)—Seniors are all too often the target of fraudulent phone calls and email scams. Many security experts agree that older adults can be seen as profitable targets for fraudsters – in part because seniors are often thought to have a “nest egg” and an excellent credit rating. What makes this even more alarming is that research shows seniors who do become victims of fraud are not telling their friends or family. This is an important step to help law enforcement catch the criminals and prevent fraud in the future. “According to a Visa Canada survey, approximately half of all seniors over the age of 65 who have been victimized by fraud do not tell anyone about their ordeal,” says Gord Jamieson, head of security for Visa Canada. “Individuals should never be embarrassed to talk to family, friends or their bank if they have questions or are worried they may be a victim of fraud.” Jamieson points out that there are many things seniors, and all Canadians, can do to help safeguard their personal information and prevent fraud. He recommends the following tips for the young at heart:

(NC)— As more Canadian businesses begin to offer online shopping and online and mobile sales continue to grow, security experts point out that a few bad apples are also using the popularity of online shopping to scam merchants with stolen payment card information. “The good news is business owners and their employees can play a crucial role in the fight against fraud and they already have the tools to recognize and stop online, mobile or phone purchases carried out with stolen card data,” says Gord Jamieson, head of security for Visa Canada. Jamieson notes that business owners can be at risk when a payment card is not physically present. To help identify this type of fraud before it occurs, he recommends merchants watch for the following five warning signs when carrying out transactions without the payment card: • Multiple purchases made with different cards, shipped to a single address: This can indicate a batch of stolen payment card account numbers. • Multiple high value transactions made on the same card over a very short period of time: This can indicate

5 tips for young adults to prevent online fraud

• Always treat your cards as if they were cash, and don’t leave them in places where they are easily accessible to anyone. • Always report lost or stolen cards immediately to your bank. • Always make a list of all your card numbers and keep this list in a safe place. • Always create a PIN that is hard to guess (e.g. not a birthday or phone number). • Always be cautious when asked for personal information over the phone when you didn’t initiate the call. • Never share your PIN – not even with family, friends or caregivers. • Never keep a written copy of your PIN in your wallet or purse. • Never lend your credit or debit card to anyone, ever. • Never agree to a “free trial” or “sample” without reading the terms and conditions. You may be agreeing to future monthly charges – which aren’t free. More fraud prevention tips can be found online at www.VisaSecuritySense.ca.

Five warning signs

of card payment fraud

an attempt to “run the card” until the account is closed. • Multiple purchases made on a card with a single billing address, shipped to many different addresses: This may indicate organized criminal activity. • Online transactions with multiple cards but a single IP address: This may indicate a batch of stolen cards being run from the same computer. • Multiple transactions in close succession with very similar account numbers: This may indicate account numbers that have been generated using illegal software. According to Jamieson, merchants or employees who come across any of these warning signs should request additional information from the cardholder. “There are many tools available to help merchants avoid fraud, like the address verification service, the ‘three digit code’ and a service called Verified by Visa,” Jamieson said. He also recommends reporting the suspicious activity to their payment service provider as soon as possible. More information on protecting against fraud is available online at www.VisaSecuritySense.ca.

(NC)—Sharing pictures and information online through social networks has become a normal way of life for tech-savvy millennials. Unfortunately, some technology experts are concerned that young people’s sharing can go too far, putting their security at risk. A recent survey by Visa Canada found that young Canadians, aged 1830, were the most likely age group to overshare personal information on social networking sites, including posting their home addresses, birth dates and phone numbers online – information that could potentially be used to carry out identity theft and other scams. What’s more, it appears this willingness to share extends into the offline world. The same survey also found that young adults are most likely to share their PIN and lend their credit or debit card to others. “Young adults need to better understand the risks associated with oversharing personal and financial data,” says Gord Jamieson, the head of security at Visa Canada. Jamieson recommends young people, and all Canadians, remember these five security tips before post-

ing online: 1. Personal information is just that – personal. Don’t post information such as payment card information or SIN in a public forum or on a social networking site. 2. Pay close attention to what you share on social networking sites; even seemingly innocuous information such as your mother’s maiden name or your high school mascot can help a thief gain access to your accounts. 3. Familiarize yourself with your social network’s privacy settings to help control who can see your information. 4. Create strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts. Using different passwords will limit any damage if one password is compromised. 5. Be suspicious of any requests for your personal or payment information no matter how convincing the communication or phone call you received may be. Scammers may use tactics like phishing and social engineering to trick consumers into divulging personal or payment information. More information is available online at www.VisaSecuritySense.ca.

Smart, focused basketball key for Owls Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Preparing for the Interior Savings Western Canada Basketball Tournament without two of his top players in the lineup was never part of the plan for Harry Parmar. Still, the head coach of the host Kelowna Owls isn’t about to dwell on his team’s recent misfortunes as the 40th edition of the prestigious eight-team tourney tips off on Thursday at KSS. Late last month, the Owls lost leading scorer Buzz Truss for the season to a broken ankle, while veteran guard John Katerberg was forced to hang up his shoes earlier this year due an eligibility issue. Parmar expects a little adversity to bring out the best in his players. “It’s an opportunity for other players to step up, it’s an opportunity for our leftover starters to take on more minutes and more accountability for what we do,” said Parmar. “The approach is no excuses. We can make excuses about who’s not here and who should be here, but ultimately we’re getting ready to play games and our goal is still to win every game

we play.” The Owls, ranked No. 7 in B.C., will open play at the 2013 WCBT Thursday at 8:15 p.m. against John Taylor Collegiate from Winnipeg, the ninthranked team in Manitoba.

games last year I know what to expect, and it’s exciting,” said Burma. “You just have remind (the rookies) to stay calm, it’s just another game. You want to win it because you’re at home, but you have to treat it like any other tournament and just go out and play.” Included on this year’s roster of teams is B.C.’s third and fourth-ranked teams, Walnut Grove and Kitsilano, while the Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs from Calgary are ranked third in Alberta. Parmar, who will be coaching in his sixth Western Canada tournament, said it’s three-day stretch of basketball his players, win or lose, won’t soon forget.

WE HAVE TO PLAY HARDER AND PLAY SMARTER WITHOUT (KEY PLAYERS) Joel Burma, Owls captain

In the absence of two of their top players, captain Joel Burma will be among those Owls counted on for leadership and plenty of quality minutes over the course of the tournament. “We have to play harder and play smarter without them,” said Burma, a senior guard for KSS. “We can’t turn the ball over, we have to play a full 40 minutes with full intensity and we should be OK.” Burma first watched the hype and hoopla of the Western Canada tournament as a Grade 9 student at Dr. Knox Middle School.

“The kids are excited, it’s a really great venue and great environment and a lot goes into putting this on, so that’s why a lot of the best teams in Western Canada want to be here,” he said. “It’s time for the kids to showcase themselves in front of their peers and parents, and with that, sometimes they get a little jittery or overanxious. So you have to curb that a little, get them to focus and let their instincts take over.” Action begins Thursday at 2:30 p.m. with Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat taking on St. Francis Xavier from Edmonton. The tournament final is set for 7:45 p.m. Saturday at KSS.

One more task for Kelowna Rockets before ’Hawks visit Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With one of the most anticipated match-ups of the Western Hockey League season beckoning this weekend at Prospera Place, the Kelowna Rockets couldn’t be blamed for getting a little ahead of themselves. Still, the club’s upcoming doubleheader

against the league-leading Portland Winterhawks will just have to wait, as the Rockets have more immediate concerns— taking on the Chiefs Wednesday in Spokane. “That’s the game (Spokane) we’re focusing on right now and who we’re preparing for in our practises this week,” said Rockets head coach. “As well as we’ve been play-

ing you can’t look past teams. Once that game is done, then the guys can look ahead to Portland and we can prepare for that.” There will be plenty on the line when the Rockets host the Winterhawks this Friday and Saturday nights in a battle of the WHL’s top two teams. Portland (43-7-1-2) leads the Rockets (40-10-

3-1) by five points for first place overall. The Rockets, who have points in their last 19 games (17-0-2), have won 23 consecutive games at home, the third longest single-season streak in league history. The franchise record is 24—held by the 199293 Tacoma Rockets—a mark the 2012-13 edition of the Rockets could tie on

Friday and break on Saturday with a sweep of the Winterhawks this weekend. Still, Huska insists numbers and streaks aren’t and haven’t been his club’s focus this season. “The guys have had these games (with Portland) in the back of their minds for a while now, they know what they

mean and they’re looking forward to them,” said Huska. “But we haven’t really addressed (the streak). It’s something the guys don’t talk a lot about. The guys have done a pretty good job of not looking too far ahead and focusing on what’s next in front of them,” Huska said. The Rockets are coming off a stretch of three

wins in as many nights, including a weekend sweep of the Vancouver Giants. A 5-0 win over the Giants Saturday was the Rockets 23rd straight victory at Prospera Place. Myles Bell scored twice and Jordon Cooke stopped 22 shots for his fifth shutout of the season.

Kelowna’s Neilson 4th at skeleton worlds Kelowna’s Eric Neilson had the race of his life when it counted most, finishing fourth in the men’s skeleton race at the World Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Sitting in ninth place after the first two runs on Friday, the 31-year-old Neilson made a charge for the podium in his final two blasts down the 1,700-metre chute of natural ice at the birthplace of the sport. Neilson stormed into fourth place and the best international result of his career with a time of 4:35.01. “That was a shocker. It feels really good,” said Neilson. “I didn’t think I could move up that much. I was really disappointed yesterday, but I just said to myself I was going to throw it down and see what happens.” Russia’s Alexander Tretjyakov finished on top with a time of 4:32.35. Latvia’s Martins Dukurs was second at 4:32.38, while Russia’s Sergei Chudinov snagged the bronze medal at 4:34.62. A legacy baby from the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the Rutland grad took a skeleton recruitment camp in 2006 for

season, is now on pace to slide into the Olympic stadium for the first time after knocking the door of international podium with two top-five finishes, and a handful of sixth-place results around the world. “Last year I was really a crash and burn guy, I do feel a lot more comfortable with everything that comes with the World Cup this year,” said Neilson. “I need to be a little more consistent with my push and driving together if I want to breakthrough on the podium. It is just going to take a bit more time and experience.”

In just their second season of CIS competition, the UBC Okanagan women’s volleyball squad is headed for the playoffs. With a weekend sweep of the hometown University of Winnipeg Wesmen, and with one week remaining, the Heat (13-7) have sewed up no worse than a fifth-place finish in Canada West. Seven teams make the post-season. On Friday, showed their resilience once again, roaring back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Wesmen 3-2 (23-25, 2225, 26-24, 25-19, 15-6). In the second set, trailing 14-11, Heat coach Steve Manuel inserted Brianna Beamish into the game and, along with outside hitter Megan Festival, was instrumental in the comeback. Beamish would finish with 11 kills, while Festival put in the best game of her promising young career with 18 kills. With Kaitlynn Given

and Lenai Schmidt also playing key roles, the Heat showed their depth. “With four new players in the lineup, we played extremely well,” said Manuel. On Saturday, the Heat used four sets to take down Winnipeg, 23-25, 25-17, 25-22, 26-24. Katie Wuttunee had a big night with 11 kills and five blocks, Given had eight kills and 15 digs, while Megan Festival provided another 11 kills for 29 on the weekend. Rookie setter Emily Oxland was again a major factor with 51 assists. She has 724 for the season, the most in the nation and fifth best per-game average (9.05). “I can’t believe how well this first year player is handling the pressure of running the offence on such a young team,”Manuel said. “I said before the season that I did not want to be starting a rookie setter, but if I had to that Emily

Oxland is definitely the one that I want doing it.” The Heat will close out the regular season this weekend at home, with games Friday and Saturday against the University of Brandon.

HEAT MEN

The UBC Okanagan men didn’t have an answer for the University of Winnipeg as the hometown Wesmen swept a weekend set of Canada West matches from the Heat. On Friday, Winnipeg pounded out a 3-0 win (25-19,25-19,25-23). Greg Niemantsverdriet finished the game with 11 kills on 36 attempts for the Heat, while Jon Russo chipped in eight kills and four digs. As a team, the Heat was only able to combine for a .082 kill percentage. On Saturday, head coach Greg Poitras shook up the starting lineup, but the result was the same in a 3-0 loss (25-21, 25-19,

In a game decided by mere centimetres on the last rock, Jim Cotter’s Vernon/Kelowna foursome defeated New Westminster’s Brent Pierce to win their second consecutive B.C. men’s curling title last year. Both rinks have every

intention of being in the mix again in 2013 as the provincial championship opens Wednesday morning in Parksville. The Cotter rink, also featuring third Jason Gunnlaugson, second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, have shown flashes this season, winning the Vernon cash event in the fall, and

finishing second in Brantford at the Rogers Masters of Curling. Cotter also qualified for the playoffs in Kelowna last month at the Canadian Open, before losing in the quarterfinals to eventual winner Glenn Howard.

Horning, along with upand-comer Jay Wakefield of Royal City. Jim Cotter isn’t expecting any gimmes at provincials. “It’s a great field this year, probably one of the best we’ve seen in quiet a while,” Cotter said. “In curling, you’ve gotta be on, or your week can be over in a hurry. There are teams with Brier experience and some good young teams, so it’s going to be tough.” Reaching the B.C. final is nothing new for Brent Pierce who has been there nine times in the past. After dropping a heartbreaker in last year’s final to Cotter 7-5—in a game decided on the last shot—Richard said the Pierce team is motivated to make amends in 2013. “We’re definitely motivated to get back to that final game,” said Richard. “Losing last year, that was tough but that’s curling. We have the experience and we want to put ourselves in a position to give it another try. We’re motivated for (lead) Grant (Dezura) too, he’s the only one of us who hasn’t been to a Brier and we’d like to get this one for him.” The Cotter rink opens play Wednesday at 9 a.m. against Richard Brower from the Peace Arch Curling Club. Pierce will face Vernon’s Mark Longworth at 2 p.m. The provincial champion will represent B.C. at the Tim Hortons Brier, March 2 to 10 in Edmonton.

more sales results Yvonne and I have been advertising in the Real Estate Weekly for many years now. Many people think that print ads don’t reach many households anymore, or they think that they do but no one bothers to read them. I think the opposite. I can’t tell you how many times I am approached by either a client or a friend saying “Congratulations, I saw you in the top 10!” or even just calls from buyers cruising the paper looking at our featured listings. Even with all the technology out there these days, I believe there is great value in a good old print ad. Thanks for all the support your team gives when we have a problem or a late ad edit, or even just the odd follow-up call to see how everything is going. You guys are the best!

GRIFFIN ID#289981

Griffin came to us with no information on his background. He loves playing with a ball in our backyard. He is a friendly guy who is not overly fond of being left alone for extended periods of time. He is a big boy and a strong one at that. We believe he will quickly develop into a great family dog. It is recommended he go to a home without smaller children mainly because of his size and strength… he may accidentally knock over younger children. If you are looking for a good family dog, look no further.

ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR CROSS NEUTERED MALE

My name is Mike and I was abandoned. I am a very personable boy who would love to be an addition to your family. I need to go to a home with no other animals as I tend to be on the possessive side with ‘my’ people. I love to head-butt and sit on your books and papers. If you would like to meet me, please ask staff for an introduction.

ADULT GERMAN SHEPHERD X NEUTERED MALE

Donner is a very handsome dog who will be a welcome addition to any family. We do not know anything about his background, but we do know that he is a love. Even thought he is a big boy, he does not like to spend long periods of time outside alone. He would quickly become a loyal and dedicated companion. He is good with some other dogs, but he is discriminatory on which ones he likes. We currently have him mixed with Bob, a pit bull puppy and they get along great. So if you are contemplating adding him to a family with an existing dog, it is imperative that you bring in your current dog to do a “meet and greet”. We have to be sure they get along before bringing Donner to his new home. Donner loves to play in our backyard and thoroughly enjoys playing fetch. Donner will make a wonderful addition to a family who knows the breed.

CAPITAL NEWS

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen gung hay fat choy As we approach the first day of the Chinese New Year, which is February 10 this year, it’s fun to participate by planning to celebrate with Chinese food. Since the Chinese calendar is based on the moon rather than the sun, the Chinese new year begins every year with the second new moon following the winter solstice. Celebrations continue for 15 days, until the Lantern Festival Feb. 24 on the eve of the full moon. Chinese New Year is the most important occasion in the Chinese year and is celebrated in many Asian countries, as well as in Chinatowns throughout the rest of the world. This year will be the Year of the Snake on the Chinese calendar, one of 12 astrological animals which govern its years in rotation with snake following dragon and followed by horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, pig, rat, ox, tiger and rabbit. The Chinese have a worthy tradition of sweeping all the bad things out of the old year in preparation for the new one, so feuds are patched up; debts taken care of and homes cleaned through, ready for the start of a fresh year. New clothing is purchased, hair is cut, broken furniture or appliances discarded and gifts purchased for anyone you will be visiting. Visits to family and friends will include food, of course, particularly uncut noodles, dumplings like pot stickers, spring rolls and whole fish. When I was in college, a Chinese friend introduced me to the back alley entrances to Chinatown restaurants in Vancouver, where he ordered in Chinese from a different menu and we reaped the rewards of cheap, delicious food, while the elders played mah jong nearby. I can still hear the click of the tiles and smell the exotic spices. It was my introduction to the healthy, flavourful and colourful stir-fry, which has become a staple in my diet. There are a few of my favourite Chinese-style stir-fries in my cookbook, Jude’s Kitchen, available wherever books are sold, and at many wine stores and boutiques. Best wishes and have a prosperous lunar year of the snake: Gung Hay Fat Choy.

Chinese Barbecued Pork If you’ve ever enjoyed real Cantonese barbecued pork, you’re likely to be interested in trying it at home. This may not be exactly the same as what you’ve tasted in Chinatown, but it’s close and it’s pretty good. This is delicious on its own, or in a chow mein, fried rice or other stir-fry dish. 3 lb. (1.36 kg) boneless pork butt 3 garlic cloves 1/4 c. (60 ml) hoisin sauce 2 tbsp. (30 ml) honey 2 tbsp. (30 ml) dry sherry 2 tbsp. (30 ml) soy sauce 1 tsp. (5 ml) five spice powder 1 tsp. (5 ml) sesame oil You may use pork tenderloins instead but remove the silverskin before marinating. If using a larger piece of pork, slice it into long strips, with the grain of the meat, similar in

size to the tenderloin, so each is about three inches in diameter. Mince the garlic and combine with the remaining ingredients, mixing well. Marinate the strips of pork in it overnight, or for at least four hours, refrigerated. Pre-heat the oven to 325 F. Remove the pork strips from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and lay each on a rack in a roasting pan lined with foil. Bake for about 15 minutes before turning the strips over. Bake about 15 minutes longer, then baste with the remaining marinade. After 15 more minutes turn and baste again. If there’s any marinade remaining, cook it to bubbling and thick and slather the pork strips with it once they’re removed from the oven. Slice each to serve.

Barbecued Pork Fried Rice This is one delicious way to use the barbecued pork, or you may make this with diced uncooked pork, or even lean ground pork. Stir-fries can be made quickly after work to serve as a family meal, complete with vegetables and a protein all in one dish. I prefer brown rice because of the extra nutrients, but you may also use white. Wine matching with Chinese foods is sometimes difficult, but often a spicy gewurztraminer works well with the different spices in Chinese foods. 1/2 lb. (227 g) Chinese barbecued pork 1 small onion 1 stalk celery 8 stalks of fresh asparagus 3 mushrooms 1 tbsp. (15 ml) minced fresh ginger

4 c. (1 l) cold cooked brown rice drizzle of oil 2 tbsp. (30 ml) soy sauce Dice the pork, onion, celery, asparagus and mushrooms. Mince the fresh ginger. Break up the cold rice so it’s not lumpy or clumped. Heat a drizzle of oil in a wok or large frypan over medium heat. Add the ginger and onion and fry until beginning to soften. Add the celery, asparagus and mushrooms and stir fry until the vegetables are nearly cooked. Push the vegetables to the side and add the rice and drizzle with the soy sauce. Stir fry for a few minutes until the rice is completely heated through. Serves 2.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen

There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt

*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh

*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
