Gang debt leads to fraud conviction
City gets corporate planner back

CONTRIBUTOR

A car salesman who defrauded two people out of their BMWs after he ran afoul of the Independent Soldiers will serve his sentence in the community he’s hiding out in. Crown counsel Dave Ruse had suggested a short stint in jail would be best for David Mills, but his lawyer West Munson argued that time behind bars “might be tantamount to something more serious” because of the connections of the Independent Soldiers in jail. So instead, Ruse asked for a conditional sentence, which Judge Jane Cartwright agreed to. While she called Mills’ situation with the Independent Soldiers “horrifying,” Cartwright said she didn’t want to encourage others to take similar action by making it appear OK to resort to fraud to repay debts. Instead, she said Mills received a conditional sentence because the crime is comparable to employee theft and the higher courts have already deemed a conditional sentence an appropriate sanction in such cases. Mills, 43, appeared in court via video link from an undisclosed location for his sentencing, as members of the Independent Soldiers are “seriously interested” in locating him because they say he owes them money, Munson said. The debt dates back several years, when Mills borrowed money for his auto sales business. At the time, he didn’t know he had borrowed from the Independent Soldiers, said Munson.“It was a deal with the devil,” he said. Mills committed the frauds because he was behind on his payments and was “desperately trying to avoid that other kind of justice.” Ruse said Mills entered into consignment agreements to sell two BMWs for their owners back in 2009, after he was warned by the provincial authority that regulates car salesmen that he did not have the proper license to consign vehicles. When one of the vehicle owners went to check on the status of his vehicle, he discovered Mills had left the auto dealer and his vehicle had been moved to an unknown location.
The Kelowna bureaucrat brought in to temporarily lead the Central Okanagan Regional District’s transition effort last year says he’s ready to return to City Hall. But Paul Macklem, appointed interim RDCO CAO last spring following the retirement of its former chief administrative officer Harold Reay, said the experience has given him a new-found appreciation of the role the regional district plays in local government here. Macklem will return to his job as Kelowna’s general manager of corporate services in midApril. But, as he closes out his tenure of helping the regional district take stock of its operations and the services it provides across the region, Macklem said the year-long experience has shown him there is definitely a place for the regional district in the Central Okanagan’s future. That’s despite the fact all but two sparsely populated areas within the Central Okanagan are now incorporated.

Kelowna kids benefit from telethon donations Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Organizers are hoping Kelowna residents will join others from B.C. by watching and donating to the 47th annual Variety Show of Hearts Telethon this weekend. In return, Variety—The Children’s Charity will ensure children with special needs across the province have a bright future. Eight-year-old Robin Laing and her mother, Stacey, from Kelowna have seen how Variety can help. Robin was born with mild cerebral palsy. “It’s very functioning, but she’s right-side affected,” said Stacey. “Basically she uses an (ankle-foot orthotic) brace on her right leg…she’s still able to walk, run, swim and all that kind of stuff.” Stacey knew her daughter needed the brace when she was five, but funding was an issue as the orthotic wasn’t covered by BC Health Care. Robin’s physiotherapist suggested Variety may be able to assist with the funding. Eventually, the Laings’ application was approved. “I don’t know if people realize the different levels of help they give to all different types of needs—not just extreme cases.” Variety also funded Robin’s physiotherapy for a year. “That helped us out a lot.” Kelowna’s Lang family is another that has benefited from Variety. Ashlyn Lang was born with a liver condition and needed a transplant last June. Variety has provided fund-

TWO local special needs youngsters Robin Laing (right) and Ashyn Lang will be paying close attention to the Variety Club Telethon because donations generated by this annual provincial fundraiser help support the medical child care programs that they and many other kids across the province rely on. ing for life-sustaining medications and vitamins not covered by the Lang’s medical plan. “She has to have different things that are expensive like liquid vitamin D—they cover things like that to help us out,” said Lisa. With those costs covered, some pressure has been taken off the Langs and, according to Lisa, Ashlyn is doing “awesome.” “She’s pain-free for the first time ever. She’s happy
and she’s growing like a normal child.” Last year the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon raised $6.75 million. That money helped Variety give 1,200 individual grants to children in need from more than 150 cities and towns throughout the province. This year’s telethon can be viewed Feb. 16 and 17 on Global BC TV. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com
A young participant in the Gold Medal Plates culinary competition held at the Eldorado Hotel last weekend has passed away. Police were called to the hotel at 11:45 a.m. Sunday to find the 23-year-old, identified by unconfirmed sources as Fabien Driquert of Canmore, Alta., in cardiac arrest. The young cook was taken to hospital, but did not survive and was pronounced dead in hospital. The incident is not considered suspicious and police have turned the matter over to the B.C. Coroner’s Service.
▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE
Women engaged in high-demand metal fabrication trade The Women in Trades Training program at Okanagan College is breaking down barriers with a foundation metal fabrication program, designed to help women build both skills and confidence in this expanding field. Metal fabricators work on the design side of the industry, which means they require an ability to read drawings and layouts, and then fabricate metal parts to meet those needs. Students learn to work with steel plates and structural steel shapes, including shearing, cutting, punching, drilling, forming, fitting and welding. The 23-week (690hour) intake of the metal fabrication program for women starts on March
11 at the college’s Kelowna campus. Classes run Mondays through Fridays, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. “Metal fabrication is very closely tied to the welding industry, which is consistently the number one trades training choice for women in our programs,” said Nancy Darling, program administrator for the women in trades program at Okanagan College. “Metal fabrication is one of the trades where demand for skilled workers is particularly strong right now, especially with the recent shipbuilding contracts awarded in the province.” Darling said scheduling an all-female intake for the metal fabrica-
tion class comes at just the right time to take advantage of the revamped entrance requirements. Until now, students were required to meet the prerequisite of having a Level C ticket in welding before entering the metal fabrication foundation program. This new rule allows women to enter directly into the metal fabrication foundation program without prior welding experience or credentials. “Our number one goal with our women in trades training program is to increase the number of female apprentices in the province of B.C.,” Darling said. “By removing the barriers to direct entry into the metal fabrication
foundation program, we are seeing many women step forward as pioneers in this field. “These women will be the first participants we have ever sponsored for this program, and we are excited to see them progress through their training.” The OC Women in Trades Training Initiative is administered by the Industry Training Authority through the Canada-British Columbia Labour Market Agreement, which provides supports for eligible women who are either unemployed and not eligible for Employment Insurance benefits, or employed but lacking certification. Holding a unique all-female class might
seem unusual, given that the workforce is filled with men. But Darling said there are good reasons for women to take this route. “We can provide a higher level of support to a women’s class,” she explained. “Participants gain access to support and encouragement through industry mentors, peer tutoring, essential skills development, resume writing and job search assistance. “We have experienced great success with providing this high level of support within our gateway to the building trades for women program.” Chelsey Blake can attest to that. The 27-yearold single mother enrolled
in the program last spring, and is now a student in the college’s automotive service technician program. Blake admits she was sceptical at first about an all-female class, but then saw how the course design gave women a chance to build a foundation of confidence with their newly acquired skilled. “It was way better than I ever imagined,” she said. “When you start out, you look around at all the other women and quickly see that we’re all learning together, so it’s less intimidating than being with the guys. “It’s also way easier to learn around your peers, because you’re all making the same kinds of mistakes.” Better yet, she said,
with the program completed, they know they’ll be able to hold their own once they head to the “real world.” “You’ve got the knowledge and the confidence that your skills are as valuable, and valued, as the guys out there,” she said. Successful completion of the metal fabrication foundation program provides students with Level 1 technical training credit from the Industry Training Authority and students also receive credit for 450 work-based hours toward completion of the metal fabricator apprenticeship.

Crime rate drops dramatically ly attributable to policing levels or not is unknown, but over the same time period, West Kelowna also had the highest officer-to-population ratio amongst 30 other municipalities with populations greater than 15,000. It had 21 municipal officers, or one officer for every 1,305 people. The average crime rate was 66 among the 30 communities, ensuring the 2011 rating of 49 put the district among the most crime-free smaller communities in the province. Nevertheless, the district chose to add two
more officers—a school liaison officer and a drug investigations officer—in 2012. “I know the residents of West Kelowna will find this news very encouraging as West Kelowna council has heard many people say that a safe community is their top priority,” said Mayor Doug Findlater in a release issued following hiscouncil’s meeting Tuesday. “A 30 per cent decrease is significant and it is very gratifying to see that the hard work of our RCMP officers is obviously paying off.”
The West Kelowna RCMP detachment houses a total of 46 officers, including 23 for West Kelowna, 16 for provincial policing, four covering Peachland and three for First Nations policing. West Kelowna entered into a municipal police unit agreement on April 1, 2009, which includes the requirement of an annual report reviewing service levels, workloads and calls for service. Quarterly policing statistics are also provided to West Kelowna council as part of its strategic planning updates throughout the year.
West Kelowna will ask the province to address over $450,000 in defects to West Kelowna road and drainage infrastructure. A report by Strategic Infrastructure Management Inc. has indicated West Kelowna inherited approximately $467,500 worth of roadway defects that require immediate maintenance work. Road maintenance on the Westside was the responsibility of the province until Dec. 7, 2012. But now road maintenance is under the municipality’s jurisdiction. The report analyzed 242 kilometres of road by breaking it into 898 road segments. Of those, 638—or 79 per cent—had at least one defect. The majority of defects were due to “alligator” cracking and will cost an estimated $163,641 to fix. The report states the remedial roadway maintenance should have been performed under the provincial contract for compliance and roadway preservation. It suggests the district either request the

Throne speech short on details
T
he throne speech opening B.C.’s 39th legislature may have been short on substance, but it did make it abundantly clear that the B.C. Liberals see natural gas exports as the source of the province’s future prosperity. The B.C. Conservative party was quick off the mark to label this a “We’re gonna win a lottery” throne speech, while NDP leader Adrian Dix said it’s a sign that the Liberals have given up on other sectors of the economy, like forestry, film, high

tech and tourism. Rather than convince the province with reasoned arguments that LNG exports would be safe and profitable despite the vagaries of the volatile fuel market, the throne speech instead held out tantalizing, but unsubstantiated, hints about what could be done with all that money. Reducing the provincial debt topped the list, along with improvements to social services, investment in education and infrastructure, and the biggest carrot, the elimination of provin-
cial sales tax. The ideas outlined in the throne speech, of course, only apply if the Liberals are re-elected. An NDP government could overturn the whole concept of B.C. becoming a leading exporter of LNG to the energy hungry Asian markets. But should they? There is substance to the concept of exploiting one of the province’s biggest assets. If not now, when? While, as the NDP suggest, supporting existing economic drivers is a primary goal, expanding
the province’s economic base should also be on the agenda. What we need is an intelligent approach to bringing B.C. LNG to the world market. As with the province’s five requirements for the Enbridge pipeline, we need a plan to ensure safe production and transport as well as a sound fiscal plan to ensure the province profits, both in tax revenue and job created. What we don’t need are hints and stock platitudes intended to entice votes, but rather a substantive plan for B.C.’s future.

Long-term effects of smart meters could be devastating
To the editor: John D. Grant makes light of something far more serious than many of us would have imagined. (Smart Meters Test Jobs Plan, Feb. 8 Capital News.) Electromagnetic radiation and its health effects on the body are starting to get doctors’ and universities’ attention especially in the last few years. A May, 2011 study published by Dr. Goldsworthy, states that autism
has seen a 60-fold increase in recent years which only can be explained by changes in our environment. He says that even weak electromagnetic fields have been found to cause abnormal brain activity including hyperactivity, mood disorders, and anxiety especially in developing children. In a January 2012 study at the University of Athens, 11 researchers found up to 143 different protein changes in the
brain due to effects from microwave radiation. This was at exposures that were well below the International safety guidelines. “Important regions of the brain necessary for learning, memory and other functions of the mammalian brain were impacted by microwave radiation.” Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt (www.dietrichklinghardtacadamy.com), a German doctor since 1975 who teaches at medical schools in Washing-
ton, has dedicated his life to helping people with chronic diseases with most of his patients seeing an average of 23 other doctors before coming to him. Most of his patients have lost their zest for living. His patients have chronic infections, usually neurological diseases, which he believes are caused by man-made electromagnetic fields. He has known his patients before and after they had
a smart meter installed. Their Parkinson’s disease suddenly got worse or their Lyme disease. He believes smart meters are the cause, even worse than portable phones, cell towers or WiFi. His research has proven to him that if pregnant mothers sleep in locations of high levels of electromagnetic radiation there is a very good possibility of their child being autistic. He has cured an eight year old autistic child by
removing all sources of man-made radiation in the houses in which he lives. There are immediate results of electromagnetic radiation like inflammatory markers that go way up as well as the blood pressure becomes erratic. Dr. John Ott’s “dancing aphids” were due to this. Whether we are aware of electromagnetic radiation or not, the untimely death of Madame Curie should remind us that unseen radiation, which
most of us have no ability to measure, can have an effect on the human body. Are our governing bodies being lobbied by the communication industry? We all need to find out more about the health affects to the human body and brain especially. Should we hold off on activating the smart meters until we know they are safe?

▼ BC FAMILY DAY
Remember when every Sunday was family day
To the editor: As I sit at home with my daughter who has caught the flu and will likely miss the new B.C. Family Day as a result, I can’t help but shake my head. When I was a child, every Sunday was B.C. Family Day. If you missed one Sunday with a cold
or flu, there were still 51 more. I am going to miss this Family Day and now I have to wait 364 more days for another one. I know most people today cannot remember a time, nor would they want to, when people did not have to shop seven days a week.
But I miss those days and B.C. families need them. Capitalism has become the way of the world, but that doesn’t mean we all have to buy into it. How many B.C. businesses will actually close on Family Day? How many people will spend time—quality
time—with their children, rather than checking the Internet to see which businesses are open for business? How many people are scrambling to find childcare because they have to work? Does the B.C. government actually think we are progressing by taking away 51 family days
and giving us one back, 20 years later? I would gladly give up Sunday shopping so all those who have to work it could be at home with their loved ones for one whole day once a week. And I would gladly give up our newest B.C. holiday, too. Deb deHoog, Kelowna

▼ HIGH SCHOOL
Debate contestant appreciates effort of judges To the editor: The Southern Interior Regional Debate Tournament was held at Kelowna Secondary School on Saturday, Feb. 2. Dozens of debaters from Kelowna, Penticton and Kamloops came to test their speaking skills and compete for coveted spots at the up-
coming provincial tournament. I was thrilled to have that opportunity, being a member of the KSS Debate Team, and I know that a lot of work went into giving us that chance. I wrote this letter to thank everyone who made the tournament possible.
However, it is the judges, the community members who gave up their entire day to make the tournament possible, that I wanted to thank in particular. Unlike parents, coaches and, of course, the debaters, many of our judges had no motivation to attend except for a desire
to help. Yet, we couldn’t hold a single round without them. For many of our judges, it was their first experience with debate; however, some judges had been involved in debate in the past, either as judges at previous tournaments or even as coaches, and
provided knowledgeable feedback that is incredibly important in helping us improve. So, once again, to everyone who had a hand in last weekend’s debate tournament, especially the judges, thank you. Travis Pulleyblank, Kelowna

▼ BEYOND OUR BORDERS
Get perspective on giving humanitarian aid
To the editor: It’s great to see a focus on global issues during Global Citizen Kelowna Week starting this Friday, Feb. 15. It’s great to encourage the idealism of our young people who want to change the world and eliminate poverty. However, when I read that one of the main events—Transforming Lives through Education—focuses on “a way for any ordinary person to raise $10,000 in three hours,” I get a little uncomfortable. Though I’m certainly not against building schools in Africa and “changing lives,” I think the education, our
education, needs to go a little deeper. We are all aware that, in spite of the best intentions, humanitarian aid efforts can weaken local community structures, undermine sovereignty and end up supporting undemocratic and unaccountable institutions which make long term change more difficult. This is part of the story in Haiti and the parallel with indigenous people in Canada is striking. As a part of the educational project of Global Citizen Week I invite everyone to come see the 53-minute 2012 documentary Haiti: Where did the Money Go? on Satur-
day night Feb. 16 at Okanagan College’s main Theatre at 7 p.m. A discussion and question period will follow the film with members of Haiti Solidarity BC who went to Haiti in 2012. Admission is free, a $5 donation is suggested. I feel it is part of our responsibility as global citizens to deepen our understanding, ask questions and learn from past experiences. This is the hope I have for Global Citizens Week Mark Haley volunteer, worldfilmfestkelowna.net
Crossroads sent ‘real’ mom, daughter home
To the editor: I feel it would be very sad for the detox center to close. (Detox Centre Closing Due to Funding Shortfall, Jan. 10 Capital News.) My experience was that I had a drinking and drug problem. It was af-
fecting my life, my children’s and grand children’s lives. I decided to put myself into detox in October 2012. The experience was great. The nurses, the people that work there are absolutely amazing and
they went out of their way for me. It has changed my life. I was able to go to the lady’s treatment center. I am now four months clean and sober. My family is so happy to have their mom back. My mom and dad are very pleased
▼ FACINGTRIBULATION
Hodge’s candour appreciated
To the editor: I appreciated Charlie Hodge’s recent column Coming To Grips With Impending Mortality (Jan. 18 Capital News). It was a very informative and frank discussion of what possibly lies ahead of him. Charlie was open and forthright about his fears and anxieties and
how he is handling and facing his decline in health because of emphysema. That takes courage. He shows how important it is to talk about it, privately and publicly, honestly and openly. I guess what I appreciated most of all, was his attitude of gratitude, for life and especially his
family, friends and those who help him along his journey. He ends by saying: “It is how we make that journey that counts—not so much the time. Bless you.” Well done, Charlie. In appreciation, Beryl Baldeo, Kelowna
and happy to have her real daughter back. I feel if that if the detox and the lady’s and men’s treatment center closes down so many people will miss out on so much and just end up back on the streets. I feel I
am very fortunate to have been able to utilize these services. It has saved my life because I was slowly dying. I am a very grateful recovering alcoholic, thanks to Crossroads. Pamela Kasper, Kelowna

NEWS ▼ CITY
Macklem has greater appreciation for regional district‘s role City from A16 He told the Capital News Wednesday that while he feels the plan he has overseen since April 2012 was “a bit ambitious,” he is happy with the results. “I’ve enjoyed just about every minute of it,” he said, praising the RDCO staff as a great team of people to work with. Macklem knew the regional district well from
Paul Macklem his many years as head of Kelowna’s finance department— the city is the big-
gest municipal government represented on the RDCO board and contributes just over 70 per cent of the costs of its locally funded programs. But he said he has gained a new understanding of the role the regional district plays here as a result of his time leading it. In the last year, he said, the RDCO has been able to combine some services and management roles as long-time managers and directors have left the or-
ganization, either through retirement or by moving on to other jobs. It has taken a closer look at its programs in an effort to improve them and has implemented their findings. The RDCO handles several regional services like the ever controversial dog control program, regional parks, regional emergency services, 911 dispatch— including dispatch for eight other regional district areas throughout the
southern Interior and one in the Squamish area, inspections in the two electoral areas of Okanagan West (Westside) and Okanagan East (Joe Riche-Ellison) and several small water utilities. Macklem said while there has been some downsizing in staff, the number has not been large. The biggest reductions in manpower took place before Macklem was brought on board, in the years immediately fol-
�� �
lowing West Kelowna’s incorporation in 2007. Currently, the regional district has about 120 employees. As for future leadership of the regional district, a search has been ongoing for some time now to find a new, permanent CAO. Macklem said he expects an announcement to be made soon. One decision that had to be made prior to Macklem leaving was what to do with the large RDCO administration building it operates out of on KLO Road. With a portion already rented out to the Sterile Insect Release Program and another area rented to the
Okanagan Basin Water Board, there is still an estimated 4,000-square feet of vacant space on the building’s second floor. Last year, RDCO board chairman Robert Hobson said the regional district was considering selling the building but Macklem said it now looks like another tenant will be sought for the vacant space. “In a depressed property market like this, it doesn’t make sense to sell it right now,” he said. A list of potential types of business that could be housed in the building has been drawn up and a search for a third tenant is on

Failure to file tax returns leads to a $4,000 fine
The Canada Revenue Agency says a Kelowna resident, Steven James Merrill, was found guilty earlier this month of failing to comply with a requirement to file his 2006 to 2009 personal tax returns. Merrill was fined $4,000 and was given until Aug.7, 2013, to pay the fine. He was also ordered to file the outstanding returns by April 12, 2013. When taxpayers are convicted of failing to file tax returns, in addition to any fines imposed by the courts, they must still file the returns and pay the full amount of taxes owing, plus interest owed, as well as any civil penalties that may be assessed by the CRA. But taxpayers who have not filed returns for previous years, or who have not reported all of their income, can still voluntarily correct their tax affairs before landing in court.

Rocket ride Women Heat host CIS playoff series ▼ UBCO VOLLEYBALL

When the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball team steps out onto its home court tonight (Thursday) they will make history as the first ever UBCO sports team to host a CIS playoff series. Kelowna and Mount Royal College will play a Canada West quarter-final playoff, a bestof-three match at UBC’s Okanagan campus beginning tonight and continuing Friday and Saturday, if necessary. Heat volleyball coach Steve Manuel says his team is ready. “I think they are chomping at the bit to be honest,” said Manuel after working his troops out on Wednesday. “They are sick of practising and they want to play. They’re edgy and grumpy. They’re like a bunch of mean dogs ready for a fight.” The Heat women finished their second season in CIS play at 15-7, nine more wins than last year and as the number nine ranked team in CIS

While the Heat are in just their second season of CIS play, experience will be on their side as Mount Royal is playing in its first year in the CIS. The 14-8 Cougars split with UBC Okanagan in their series in November in Calgary and had seven of its wins on the road. Hosting a CIS playoff series is a big accomplishment for the team but Manuel says they are in it to win. “Hosting is just another really big step for our program and another indication that we are well ahead of schedule with what we are doing,” he said. “We’re used to playing in these big matches and we know what it takes to win.” The team still has players left over from its B.C. collegiate days when the team won three provincial championDALE ABBEY/CONTRIBUTED

To say it’s been a busy and emotional couple of weeks for the Kelowna Rockets may be putting it a touch lightly. Over the past 14 days the Rockets have played eight times, they’ve seen a 23-game home winning streak come to an end, they’ve suffered through their first three-game losing streak of the season, before snapping out of it with a gutsy win Sunday in Everett. This weekend is no different as the Rockets will play three games in three nights for the fourth straight weekend beginning tonight (Thursday) with a rematch against Everett. “It’s going to be another tough battle for us this weekend,” said Rockets’ captain Colton Sissons. “It hasn’t been easy with all the games we’ve been playing lately but we have done pretty well.” The Rockets host Everett tonight before playing a home and home with Kamloops, traveling to play the Blazers in Kamloops on Friday before returning to Kelowna on Saturday night. “Everett always seems to give us a run at home and then we have Kamloops who is one of our biggest rivals,” said Sissons. “It’s down to crunch time so we have to start cranking it up.” After establishing a new Kelowna Rockets record with a home streak that saw the team win 23 straight games at Pros-
pera Place, the Rockets lost a pair of games to the Portland Winterhawks last weekend, ending the streak just one short of the Tacoma Rockets franchise record of 24. The streak was the third longest in WHL history and sixth longest in the history of the CHL. Sissons says it was an amazing run that had the team and its fans really pumped up. “It was just a whole lot of fun,” said the Nashville Predators draft pick. “Those kinds of streaks pretty much never happen so when they do you try to enjoy it. There was a lot of pressure in the end and I think that took a toll on us (against Portland). But it was an incredible run and our fans really got behind us. They haven’t been that loud in my time here so it was great to see.” The Rockets (41-133-1) enter this weekend with a seven point lead on Kamloops (37-15-23) in the race for the the WHL BC division title. This weekend marks the beginning of the final five weekends of play in the WHL and Sissons says preparation for the playoffs is the Rockets’ sole focus. “It’s about cranking our level up and fine tuning our game heading into the playoffs,” he said. “We’re going to have to take it to another level to compete in the playoffs. We have some stiff competition but I believe our group has it in us.” Tickets for Rockets home games are at www. selectyourtickets.com.

Briggs a good fit for Warriors Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
A year ago, when West Kelowna Warriors coach Rylan Ferster pulled the trigger on a trade deadline move that would bring in a top goalie, he did so to solidify perhaps what is the most important position on a hockey team. And after last season, a year where the Warriors goaltenders were less than stellar, 20-year-old Tyler Briggs is proving Ferster was right to go out and get him last year, no matter the cost. Briggs was exceptional again on Tuesday as the
goalie stopped 30 of 32 shots for his 20th win of the season as West Kelowna won its fourth in a row, 4-2 over the visiting Trail Smoke Eaters. Briggs saved his best work for the third when he made 13 saves to preserve the Warriors lead. “I think that’s what goaltending is all about is making the timely save and he’s done it again and again,” said Ferster of his number one netminder. “Tonight in the third it’s 3-2 and he makes that one coming across. We’d probably be in overtime without it. He’s been good for us but we expect that from him.”
The win solidifed the Warriors hold on third place in the BCHL Interior, giving them a nine point lead over fourth place Salmon Arm, which currently holds down the final playoff position in the BCHL Interior. The Warriors are also now just two points back of second place Merritt and even closer to clinching a playoff spot in the BCHL at 23-12-3-8. For Briggs, Tuesday’s work was the continuation of a solid 20-year-old season. A native of Sherwood Park, AB, the 20-year-old is now 20-12-2-0 with a 2.49 goals against average and a .922 save percent-
age. Already committed to NCAA Div. I school Clarkson, Briggs was also named the Warriors player of the month for January. The Warriors now hit the road for three games in three nights this weekend as they will play Friday in Chilliwack, Saturday in Powell River and Sunday in Alberni Valley. Having won four straight games sets the team up on a nice roll heading into the road trip. “Certainly you want to head out on the road on a good note and things have gone relatively well for us lately,” said Ferster. “It’s going to be a really tough test for us this weekend.”

The Okanagan Rockets snapped out of a funk and got back into the win column with a pair of B.C. Major Midget League wins on Vancouver Island on the weekend. The Rockets routed the South Island Royals 8-0 on Sunday after a 2-1 win on Saturday, improving to 23-6-5 on the season, third place in the BCMML. Saturday’s win snapped a four game road losing streak for the Rockets and its 23 wins is the first time since 200809. Its the second most
wins ever by the Kelowna-based major midget club behind only the 0607 team which won 27 games. After a narrow victory on Saturday to open the weekend, the Rockets blew Sunday’s game wide open with five first period goals. Captain Branden Wagner scored a pair of goals on the day giving him 22 on the season while Brett Mennear, Liam Finley, Alex Gran, Cortlan Procter and Cory Santoro also scored for Okanagan.
Brenden Mills made his second straight start of the weekend and turned aside all 24 shots he faced Sunday for his second win of the weekend. All told Mills stopped 44 of 45 shots on the weekend. Josh Blanchard scored the game winner on Saturday in the 2-1 win, netting his team leading 27th goal of the season and his fifth game winning goal. The Rockets will now prepare to close out their 7 game road trip next weekend in Richmond against the Greater Vancouver Canadians.

over the visiting Centennials in a Sunday afternoon match, going on to post an 11-3 victory. Merritt didn’t get on the scoreboard until midway through the second period with a power-play goal, but by then, Kelowna had put seven pucks into the Centennials net. Nate Higgins paced the Rockets to the win with a hat-trick performance while Joe Steward, Nick Robbins and Murray Gaffney notched two goals each. Defencemen Cole Williams and Jake Fulton added singles. The Rockets fired 56 shots at the Merritt net minder while the visitors managed 26 shots against Kelowna goalie Andreas Clark. The second game in the best of three series is Saturday in Merritt. In other Tier 3 Midget playoff action on the weekend, the Chase Broncos downed the Westside Warriors 6-4 to take a one game lead in that series.

e f This week’s new B.C. Family Day holiday brought record crowds to nski resorts across B.C. including Big White Ski Re5sort and Crystal Mountain with both local ski hills reporting huge increases in traffic on Monday. The hills experienced a financial windfall as B.C. families took advantage of the new long weekend. 7 Big White hosted a -weekend long celebration including an outdoor carrnival Sunday which was “a treat for all ages,” according to Rachael Treadgold, Big White’s director of guest services. Big White reported a 67 per cent increase in ski-er visits, a 62 per cent increase in ski school lessons and accommodation -was up 56 per cent. “We saw a fourfold increase in occupancy over the week,end compared to last year. dWe were full and still had epeople looking for places to stay,” said David Web, president of rent chalets.

and boarders to its resort, according to senior vice president Michael Ballingall. “There were smiles all around the resort” said Ballingall. “I was most encouraged by the amount of first time visitors and those coming from the lower mainland. I’m sure the entire ski industry will report healthy growth and the conversion of new skiers and snowboarders because of this new holiday. We were ecstatic with the results of Family Day. So many first time visitors and new skiers and snowboarders and hopefully we will see those smiling faces again.” At the much smaller Crystal Mountain near West Kelowna, expectations weren’t super high, although the results of the new stat holiday surpassed those expectations. “As a smaller ski area, we had more modest expectations for the BC Family Day Ski Promotion,” said Mike Morin, the general manager of Crystal Mountain. “Therefore, we were ab-
solutely thrilled when we achieved record results.” Ski resorts across B.C. lobbied hard for the new holiday to be set on a date that wouldn’t compete with other holidays such as President’s Day in the US (Feb. 18) traditionally a strong weekend for the resorts. According to the Canada West Ski Areas Association, the new holiday was a major boost to the B.C. economy. “B.C. Family Day was a huge success for B.C. ski resorts,” said David Lynn, president and CEO of the Canada West Ski Areas Association. “We are thrilled that so many British Columbians took advantage of this fun and healthy way to enjoy the first B.C. Family Day weekend.

While some manufacturers are starting to look to online sales, retailers including Suzy Bennett, vice president of retail sales at Big White argue “there is nothing better than educated staff to make sure that the product fits, both your size and your ability,” she said. “You might think it’s cheaper, but when it doesn’t fit and it’s not right for your ability, you end up paying more to fix the problem.”

OKM Huskies off to a strong start The Grade 8 boys volleyball season is off and running and the OKM Huskies Grade 8 volleyball team had a great start to the season. Composed of a great mix of size and skill, the OKM Grade 8’s dominated its opponents, going 3-and-0 in the round robin before taking its game to the next level in the playoffs. With victories over Rutland Middle School, George Elliot and Constable Neil Bruce, the team was poised to take on arch rival and talented Dr. Knox in the final. The Huskies had to come from behind to take game one 25-22. Game two was a different story with Knox opening a big 10 point lead. The Husk-

The game was close at the end but Knox pre-
vailed 25-23, tying the match at a set apiece and sending the final to a third and deciding game. In the third the match was deadlocked at 1111 when the OKM squad pulled away with a couple
of clutch plays from Ben McDonald and Taylor Knoll. The final result was 15-12 victory for the Huskies. Coach Paul Thiessen was thrilled with the early success his team is having.
“This team has better size then my senior team had at this same age and the skill level and volleyball IQ is higher,” he said. “Things look promising for the future with this young squad.”
The Kelowna AquaJets had another successful weekend of swimming as 19 swimmers joined 370 competitors from around B.C. in Surrey and recorded some impressive results at the AA provincial swim championships. “The swimmers stepped up and raced, many swimmers moving up in the rankings and lots of improvement,” said Cody Hitchcock, AquaJets Assistant Head Coach. Over the three-day meet five swimmers reached the podium. Multiple medalists were Denzel Mohamed in the Boys 15 and over category. Obedkoff swam to bronze medals in the 100m freestyle, 200m backstroke and 200m individual medley. Emilia Obedkoff also was a multiple winner in the girls 15 and over category won two bronze medals (200m fly and 100m breast).
Liquid strikes Six members of the Liquid Lightning Swim Club travelled to Surrey for the BC AA Short Course Championships this past weekend. T’Keya Delwo, 14, led the way with four provincial medals and a swim that qualified her for the AAA championships in the 100 meter breaststroke to be held in Victoria at the end of the month. Delwo won two gold medals, placing first in the 50 meter freestyle and 100m breaststroke as well as silver medals in the 100m freestyle and the 100m butterfly. Wyatt Fagan, 13, also brought home a med-
Other medals came from Kjel Cartier who captured bronze in the 12 year old boys 200m freestyle swim; Ben Main also captured a bronze in the 14 year old boys 400 IM and Theo Mohamed collected a silver medal in the 13 year old boys 1,500m freestyle swim. Several swimmers also achieved best times over the weekend in all of their events including Cayle Cronquist, Ben Main and Theo Mohamed. “We have a young group of swimmers who are showing great improvements, and with the experience gained this past weekend we are sure to see some exciting results throughout the rest of the season” explained Hitchcock. Next up for the AquaJets are the Western Canadian Championships in Saskatoon where five Jets will be competing followed by 12 swimmers off to Victoria for AAA Provincials.
THE CHUTE LAKE Elementary Grade 7 boys won all three of its games to claim the championship at the Rutland Middle/Heritage Christian invitational basketball tournament on the weekend. The Chute Lake Sharks opened with a 45-34 win over Rutland Middle with Keaton Meier leading the offense with a 22-point outpouring. Marc Imrich adding 14 points in the opening win. The boys followed that with a decisive 76-45 victory over Constable Neil Bruce. Clarke Larsen was the top Shark with 15 points and 15 rebounds. That advanced the Sharks to the final where they would cap off the tournament with a 49-34 win in the final over Heritage Christian. Meier and Imrich again led the scoring while Clarke Larsen, Will Oxtoby and Jayton Parmar were a dominant front court for the Sharks.

Other results saw Hallie Jenkins, 10, swim personal best times in both the 100m free and 200m backstroke. Emma Andreen, 14, dropped over 17 seconds in her 800m free swim; Molly Harding, 14, set a personal-best in the 200m free; Sara Roggeveen cut four seconds off her 100m fly for a new personal-best. The girl’s relay team (Delwo, Andreen, Roggeveen, and Harding) also combined for a silver medalin the girls 14 and under 200m free relay.

▼ SLEIGH RIDE
Traditional winter activity kept alive Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
“Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling too…” Everyone knows the classic Christmas carol Sleigh Ride, but when the decorative lights come down and Santa heads back up north, it’s finally time to enjoy the world of winter activities, uninterrupted by shopping and dinners and the hustle and bustle of our hectic modern life. Jim Long has found a way to bring us back to basics with a sleigh ride through a snow-covered forest. All winter, Long brings guests on little adventures, adding breakfasts and dinners and the odd special event to his regular roster of one hour and half hour tours. This Valentine’s Day, for example, he and his Clydesdales—either Tom and Jerry or Doc and Bud—will take a few lucky lovers out for breakfast, and later he’ll ferry those who book a steakhouse dinner around for a particularly special evening in the snow. Standing 17 hands tall, and weighing in at roughly a tonne per animal, there’s no missing the magnificent creatures he pulls up in front of the Happy Valley Day Lodge with and the touch of romance they bring to a day is spectacular. “Belgians are the strong ones. Percherons are a good horse. Clydes, what they lack in strength they make up for in just eye appeal. They’re just a classy looking animal,” said Long. Long is somewhat of an expert on sleigh rides. Although he’s only been
JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS
JIM LONG’S Clydesdales await for another group to loaded up for a sleigh ride around the snow-covered forest trails at Big White Ski Resort. at Big White for the last seven years, spending roughly 125-130 days on the slopes, he’s been riding behind horses like these his entire life. “I guess the first I remember was my dad going to pick up my sister from school,” he said. “We just had horses. So a sleigh ride at home meant you were just doing something. Out working.” Long was raised in the Canadian Badlands and, like any good cowboy, he isn’t one to expend energy on words, particularly on himself. But he knows how to entertain, offering pancakes or a rib and chicken barbecue in a woodsy cabin for those who would like to take a little time out on the hill. And he knows how to train a group to enjoy an afternoon, day or even an overnight trip in the lifestyle he grew up enjoying. Stationed just outside Red Deer, Alberta for the bulk of the year, his primary vocation sees him organizing authentic cov-
ered wagon tours—day, overnighter and multiday trips on an abandoned rail bed. He has 12 wagons with wooden wheels and wooden seats and he trains those who come out to run the wagons themselves. Prior to landing his Big White gig through an advertisement in a horse magazine, he would throw a few hayrides in for extra income, a sleigh ride in the winter. “Jack of all trades master of none,” he says when asked about his vocation. “I never could settle into much.” He built the 16-seater sleigh he uses on the mountain himself. Some of the parts are 100 years old, just pieces he was already using, he explains. Long is nonplussed by any query about what he likes about his horses, why he chooses to work in the fields—cultivating, seeding, cutting hay— with them over machines that might work faster. “Well, it’s just what you do,” he says. “I like
the horses. Ask anybody with horses, they’ll tell you.” And Long’s particular pick of horse is a special one. Clydesdales are originally Scottish. Developed in the early 1800s, they’re draught horses derived from farm horses in the Clydesdale area of Scotland, and their tack includes a regal neckpiece called a scotch top, originally ornamented with the family crest so anyone coming upon the sleigh would know who was approaching. Today the scotch top really just protects the animal from the elements such that when the sleigh points into the weather, the Tom and Jerry’s of this world have a dry warm neck. Looking down at their legs, the distinctive white covered hooves, seemingly fitted in knee-high fur moccasins one might term mittens if these were cats, often have a brown leg in the mix. Tom and Jerry, brothers, each have a brown
left leg—no genetic significance Long insists. “It’s just the way the good Lord painted them,” he says. “There are four legs and two colours and sometimes that’s just what you wind up with.” Were one to have a brown right leg it would make the pair more of a matched set and therefore more valuable; but the effect as they are is still breathtaking. Glistening in the snow on a warm winter day, their legs appear to dance across the white carpet in front of them, first a dark leg, then a white, steady as they go. Tom and Jerry are huge when compared with a saddle horse, but they’re still a good six to eight inches shorter than the Budweiser Clydesdales that have so famously inspired a donkey to try hair extensions on his lower legs in one commercial and jump the Grand Canyon in the name of love in another. As this year’s Superbowl commercial reminded those who watched—to the tune of Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide, no less—one can follow the famous Clydesdales on Twitter, if one so desires. This seems quite comical when confronted with the silent beauties checking out the pink Lululemon athletic bags of those milling about the mountain ice rink they call home each winter. If you’re looking for a real deal experience with a horse-drawn sleigh and the Clydesdales, it’s far better just to join Long and his companions on the mountain trails. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

▼ ROTARY CLUB
New looks unveiled for Pleasantvale Homes
A new development for Kelowna’s north end may soon lead to an increase in affordable housing for local seniors. The Pleasantvale Homes project, originally created and managed by the Rotary Club of Kelowna for more than 50 years, is about to be redeveloped and significantly improved. Back in 1955 during an annual Rotary seniors’ dinner, it was suggested that seniors need a place to meet. But further consultation with a local welfare officer determined a more glaring need was evident from how many of Kelowna’s elderly residents were living in appalling conditions equivalent to Third World slums. Harold Henderson, Rotary club president at the time, appointed a committee led by Ernie Winter to come up with a solution, and in 1956 the
Pleasantvale Homes Society was formed to create affordable housing for Kelowna’s disadvantaged seniors. At the time, Kelowna was eight square miles within its municipal boundaries, compared to 120 square miles today. The Rotarians negotiated for most of an entire block of land on the northern outskirts of town. The early phases were difficult, primarily for funding, but Rotarians and many other organizations pulled together: The city sold the property to Rotary for $2, and for construction the club paid 10 per cent down, the government paid one-third of the cost and CMHC mortgaged the remainder. Design and construction was all heavily subsidized by Rotarians and their businesses. The first 12 homes opened in 1957, with oth-
ers added over the next 12 years until all 50 units were completed. Since then, Rotary has offered affordable housing (less than 50 per cent the rent charged in other “subsidized” housing projects) for more than 60 seniors. Following an extensive study in 2007, it was decided that the most productive future for the society was to involve BC Housing in a major expansion. In the summer of 2011, Rotary’s primary role in this project was completed with the “gift” of the Pleasantvale property (conservatively valued at well over $2 million) to BC Housing under the following conditions: • BC Housing will redevelop the block offering affordable housing to more than the current 50 units (no less than 70 and potentially more than

This Rotary proj-
ect resulted in the award of Rotary International’s prestigious Significant Achievement Award in 2012. Now in 2013, BC Housing’s proposed redevelopment is progressing with NORR Architects Planners hosting an open house meeting Wednesday night at the Laurel Packinghouse to outline some new project design options. The design concepts are based on the ideas from several public involvement events which
were organized to encourage input from the residents, the public and the city’s north end neighbours. Three design concepts were shown at Wednesday’s open house—the number, type, height, width and location of the residential buildings proposed on the block. There will be a further open house on March 26 to seek further public input prior to Rotary presenting the project to city council for final approval.

B OLD A CCESSORIES
GUY STYLE By Taylor Bayne, Contributor
“Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.” Henry DavidThoreau Happy Valentine’s Day readers! In honour of this overrated love fest of a day, I decided to dedicate my column to all of our special guys. With fashion week happening, I am constantly checking out the new trends in not only women’s wear, but men’s as well. I have always found the men’s apparel industry quite interesting, which is what I hope to be doing as a career. Enough about me! I have found five new trends for guys this spring that I love and hope will be a big hit! One of my favourite looks for men has always been the military look. Army green shades, khaki fabrics for bottoms, and light oversized coats that are perfect for clear, blue skies with a little wind chill. It all begins with the short; a longish knee length with a cargo camouflage finish. This starts the outfit off with a neutral colour and pattern that will pair nicely with any solid tone v-neck. For a crisp look, bust out that five pack of white tees you bought from Walmart last week and put one to good use. (You know they are washable right? You don’t have to keep buying them in bulk.) Depending on the weather, a classic Chuck Norris sneaker is perfect for this look. Need to dress it up for a last minute lunch date? Throw on a light grey vneck or crew neck sweater with an aviator frame and don’t forget to pay ;). Next on my list comes bold accessories. These include pocket squares,
shoe laces, socks, ties etc. Wearing a grey suit? Stuff a bright yellow pocket square on that manly chest of yours. Just bought a snazzy new leather pair of high tops from x10sion 207? Pick up a contrasting colour lace to brighten it up. So you get the picture. Think polka dot socks and neon wallets... and kittens and rainbows! One trend that men and women both have this coming season are stripes; big, bold, beautiful, traffic stopping stripes. Be careful with this when coordinating outfits. Awkward, you both just showed up to a party in your favourite basic striped tees. Never again! Find a cool tie, or a long sleeve to pair with khakis. Just one word of advice: use in moderation! The colour of spring 2013 is navy. This colour is sophisticated, classy, and sharp and can be worn in any occasion. If anyone watched the Grammy’s on Sunday, Frank
Ocean rocked his navy on navy on navy fitted ensemble. He dressed it up with a pair of black leather dress shoes. A dressed down look could include a cargo short or white jean with a navy top, whether a tee or a sweater/cardigan. For all outfits above, I have the grand finale of shoe for you! Chukkas. For all who don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, let me fill you in. Also known as turf boots, they are ankle height shoes for men usually made from calfskin or suede. They can be worn with shorts or a full length pant to dress up or dress down. It is the perfect accessory to finish off your outfit. Happy V-Day!

MP’S REPORT
Ron Cannan ment at UBCO, and organizations such as Accelerate Okanagan, our developing technology sector is employing hundreds of people. Not only are we home to great ventures like Disney’s Club Penguin, our entrepreneurial spirit and drive has attracted investors like those on CBC’s Dragon Den, who keep coming back year after year to the Okanagan to find the kind of imaginative, driven entrepreneurs whose ideas help spur economic development and more job creation. All of this economic activity is set against one of the most beautiful places in Canada, blessed with great weather and the best people. Our own Kelowna International Airport brings in more and more people every year to share in this bounty and our tourism sector benefits as a result. By way of example, Kelowna just played host —for the third year in a
row—to the Canadian Culinary Championships, bringing together the 10 best chefs from across our country, including our own chef Mark Filatow, owner of Waterfront Restaurant and Wine Bar, and raising funds for Canada’s Olympians and the Own the Podium program. The Prime Minister has said the biggest challenge our country faces is the skills shortages in the Canadian labour market and while a call for a national jobs strategy is often the first response, it’s clear that better, more effective solutions can be found closer to home. Our education, business, and tourism sectors are setting an example of what can be done and what is possible. Their collaboration is successfully addressing skills shortages and keeping our unemployment rate down. Supported by federal, provincial and municipal initiatives, the people of Kelowna-Lake Country, our greatest resource, are the engines driving job creation, supporting economic growth, and securing the Okanagan’s and Canada’s long-term prosperity. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country.

▼ SYMPHONIC STORY
Volunteering builds community and brings smiles Dawn Wilkinson COLUMNIST
Music tells story of Peter and the Wolf M Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
As a family friendly February shapes up to offer all forms of entertainment, the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra throws its hat in the ring with an afternoon matinée of Peter and the Wolf. Playing this Saturday, the weekend after B.C.’s first official Family Day, the symphony will deliver an adaptation of Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, a musical originally commissioned by the Central Children’s Theatre in Moscow to help foster appreciation for music. “The traditional Prokofiev is what I grew up with, my parents grew up with, my grandparents would have grown up with,” said Rosemary Thomson, the ever-progressive music director and conductor of the orchestra who seems to be defining her tenure in the position with by building partnerships. “I think it’s a way to create community…and to share audience and to really embrace what the Okaangan has to offer,” said Thomson, who spent Christmas working on both the orchestra’s Christmas performance and a lo-
cal production of The Sound of Music, a collaboration with opera singer Melina Moore. In this particular case, the connection she’s made is with Tracy Ross of Bumbershoot Theatre, a troupe she’s been taking her own children to visit since shortly after the family’s arrival in the valley seven years ago. Perhaps best known for its workshops for kids, Bumbershoot Theatre was created in 2009 and stages four productions per year using experienced adult actors to perform story lines appropriate for children. The adaptation of Peter and the Wolf the little theatre company and the orchestra will work from was written by composer Hummie Mann, who integrated humorous songs into the story, but kept the original concept of having each theatrical role represented by an instrument. The violin is thus the intrepid young Peter and the French horn the dark and dangerous Wolf, who slowly reveals his furry nature, creeping into the story so the other characters don’t immediately see him as an animal. “The Wolf becomes wolfier and
wolfier,” said Thomson, noting his hair slowly starts to peak through, his fangs eventually begin to show as the performance unfolds. This is going to be an audience participation afternoon and the Wolf represents the crux of what makes this particular version so unique. Just don’t expect to leave without a little ditty running through your head, like: “We’re going to make him give up protein. We’re going to feed him Lean Cuisine.” Unlike many forms of live entertainment this season, the OSO’s ticket sales are solid. In Kelowna, performances remain 85 to 90 per cent sold out and the Christmas concerts across the valley— Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon—did sell out. To find out whether the new vegetarian wolf has a duck quacking in his stomach or a grandfather quaking in his boots, come out to the OSO’s family performance and enjoy a serenade by some of the valley’s top musicians. Tickets for this Saturday, Feb. 16 matinée at 2 p.m. can be obtained through okanagansymphony.com.
ost of the time, we think of volunteering as an individual effort but there are lots of opportunities to volunteer with a group of friends, work colleagues and family members. The United Way matches groups wanting to volunteer with projects that need doing by notfor-profit organizations. Are you already involved with a local not-for-profit? Does your organization have any ‘wish list’ of projects that a group of people could complete through a Day of Caring? Maybe it is painting, organizing, minor repairs or outdoor clean-up. If you do, please contact Avril at the United Way by phone 250-860-2356 or email avril@ unitedwaycso.com. The Easter Pancake Breakfast is coming up on Good Friday, March 29th, and that is a fun, family friendly event for you to consider volunteering with your group. You can flip pancakes or help serve. The free clothing section needs to be organized and people might need some ‘fashionista’ advice.
What about the Easter egg hunt? There are 15,000 candy filled eggs to spread around to make the hunt exciting for children of all ages. There are a host of other children’s activities that are made safe and operate smoothly when more volunteers are involved hands on. Perhaps you like to direct traffic through the parking lot. Are you focused on safety and want to become activity on the security team? Maybe you would like to donate in advance of this event. Organizers are looking for door prizes, gently used or new clothing – especially for men and children. Cash or online gifts are also welcomed. You can contact Victory Life Fellowship by email vlf@shaw.ca, phone 250-8623044, or visit their website at www.victorylifefellowship.net. To view a clip of last year’s event, look under VLF Special Events. Come for the fun on Good Friday, March 29 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Parkinson Recreation Center in Kelowna.

▼ MOVIE REVIEW
Anna Karenina mostly a chic flick ANNA KARENINA Most of us know this story; written by Tolstoy and set in late 19th century Russian high society, married Anna Karenina enters into an affair with Count Vronsky to devastating and life altering results. The idea for Anna Karenina apparently was born when Tolstoy arrived at a railway station shortly after a young woman had committed suicide. The original work was published in instalments from 1873 to 1877. Tolstoy himself (writer of War and Peace) came from a well-known, old Russian family. He

BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen was born in 1828 and died in 1910. He married Sophia and they had 13 children, although they were not happy in their later years—and so he knows a little something about love perhaps. If you are expecting to see the usual film version of a classic, be prepared for something entirely different. This is a fanciful interpretation of a

multi-layered plot that to me is more about forgiveness than it is about love. The acting is impeccable with Keira Knightly (Anna) and Jude Law (Karenin) magnificent, Matthew Mcfadyn as Oblonsaky and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Count Vronsky are just as memorable. I will say however, that when I heard that Robert Pattinson was considered for the role of Vronsky, I thought this would have been a better pairing with the feisty Anna. Some audience members may be confused by the object in the oblong box that Karenina pulls out in the bedroom scenes. This was a condom, likely made of an animal or plant based material – it actually wasn’t until the mid-1800s that the first rubber vulcanized con-
dom was produced (likely why Tolsoy had 13 children, but I digress). As I said, this story has many facets and many sub plots and twists, but suffice to say that this is likely not a man’s film, so go with a girlfriend—the costumes and scenery are worth the price of admission alone. I liked it. Not one of the most memorable films, but if you haven’t had the chance to read the book, do so, it is a special piece of literature. I give Anna Karenina three reels. My Oscar picks are: For Best Actor—Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln; Best Actress—Jessica Chastain for Zero Dark Thirty. Susan Steen is a local non-profit executive and a movie buff. susansteen1234@shaw.ca

JOSH DUHAMEL and Julianne Hough star in Safe Haven opening today to take advantage of Valentine’s Day. contender as it deals with young love in another small town; however, this love story has a supernatural twist. When a new girl arrives in the town of Gatlin, she quickly captures the attention of a young suitor. He quickly gets more than he bargained for, as she possesses powers that have long kept her at a distance from others. However, their budding romance is threatened by the dangers posed by her powers and the Claiming, a process that will decide whether her powers will serve good or evil. With a cast including Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum and Emma Thompson, Beautiful Creatures is adapted from the novel of the same name by writer/director Richard LaGravenese (P.S. I Love You). If the movie is a success, expect sequels as there are three other novels in the series.
Lace up for someone you love
A Good Day to Die Hard is not your typical date movie and is best suited for that relationship described as a “bromance.” Bruce Willis returns for his fifth outing as John McClane, but this time the indestructible U.S. cop is out of his element as he travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son. However, his estranged son is actually a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear weapons heist and they must team up to save the day. Opening a day late for Valentine’s is the suitably titled Amour, the story of retired music teachers Georges and Anne, an elderly couple whose relationship is tested after she suffers a debilitating stroke. A French-language film from Austria, it is nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and
Best Foreign Language Film (which it is sure to win). For those who do not mind reading subtitles, this is definitely a must-see. Also opening on Friday is the animated Escape from Planet Earth, a 3D animated comedy set on the planet Baab where admired astronaut Scorch Supernova is a national hero to the blue alien population. But when a rescue mission from a notoriously dangerous planet turns out to be a trap, it is up to Scorch’s scrawny, risk-adverse bother Gary to save the day. The all-star voice cast includes Brendan Fraser, Rob Corddry, Ricky Gervais, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, Jane Lynch, Sophia Vergara, George Lopez and William Shatner.

NEWS ▼ NEUROPLASTICITY
Training the brain to help transform your health W hen you experience trauma to the limbic system—the part of the brain responsible for sensory perception, unconscious protective mechanisms and emotional control—you can begin to understand how injury to this system would begin to affect all aspects of your life. Damage to any neural circuits within this system can cause pain and skew the brain’s perception of stimuli, leaving the brain and body in a chronic state of survival, otherwise known as “fight or flight.” Understandably, over time this state of high alert begins to affect all systems of the body, not just the brain. When in this state, it robs the brain and body of energy that would normally be used for oth-

In practical terms, this affects our ability to sleep, to digest and absorb food, detoxification processes and memory or cognitive abilities. The effects of limbic system trauma can result in tremendous amounts of suffering and isolation.

not be seen by the naked eye. For many who suffer, it leaves them feeling isolated and misunderstood, or they are labeled as being controlling, or that the illness is “in their head.” Far from being fictitious, this form of brain injury has far reaching ramifications and is very real. This new understanding of how the brain is involved in this group of illnesses demands that we understand how neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to change, is involved in both the development and resolution of illness. This emerging field of science is known as psychoneuroimmunology, but don’t let this big word scare you. Basically, it means understanding the interaction between the physical body, brain and immune system.
This focus is at the heart of what I do. We teach our clients how the brain has been changed through trauma, and moreover, how to correct the neural circuits that are at play. Transforming health issues through rewiring brain circuits truly speak to the brain’s role as the centre for optimal health. In fact, recently I was invited to a get together with two very special women—Karen and Linda—who graduated from the dynamic neural retraining system. Both of these incredibly courageous women had suffered from severe chemical sensitivities and electric hypersensitivity syndrome due to limbic system impairment.

Today, both are recovered and living a “normal” life again. This might not seem like a big deal until you realize that both of these women had lived through an amount of suffering that most people can’t even contemplate. Imagine what it would be like for a minute if you could not be in an environment that had electricity, wireless, chemicals or scented products of any
kind. Life becomes very small and increasingly surreal. Now imagine how fun it was to skip down the street with Karen and Linda—yes, I said skip!— when you have recovered from a limbic system impairment. One can’t help but to be thrilled and ecstatic about life again. The simple things that most people take for granted, like
sitting in a busy coffee shop, become huge milestones in the recovery process. Being witness to people transforming their health and reclaiming their lives through neuroplasticity is a blessing in the biggest way. Annie Hopper is a limbic system rehabilitation specialist. www.dnrsystem.com

Vernon cyclist embraces riding for the ‘sunshine’ Cara Brady CONTRIBUTOR
This summer’s bike ride across Canada means many things for Anja Rietdorf. It’s a way to raise money for The Sunshine Foundation of Canada, a way to work on an art project that will continue to give after the ride is over and a chance to see more of her new country. “I chose The Sunshine Foundation because my younger brother has had developmental disabilities and epilepsy since birth and I understand the daily challenge for families. We forget them quite often because we don’t see them all the time,” said Rietdorf, who was a kindergarten teacher in her native Germany. She moved to Canada three years ago, after 14 years in the Canary Islands as a landscaper, to work as a live-in family caregiver. The Sunshine Foundation is a non-profit organization that makes dreams come true for children with severe physical disabilities or life-threatening illness. Rietdorf has come up with several ways to help make her trip raise as much money and awareness as possible. “I’ll be on the road for almost 9,000 kilometres and I will sell each one for $10. Each kilometre that I go, I know I am making more,” she said. Her ride, called Anja’s Sunshine Ride, starts May 12 at Mile Zero in Victoria and will end three-and-a-half months later at Mile Zero in St. John’s, Newfoundland. She will be accompanied by two friends. One will paint their experiences along the way with the pictures to be auctioned later. Another friend will make a video of as many children across Canada who have received help from The Sunshine
Foundation. “I know of three families in Vernon who went to Disneyland with The Sunshine Foundation and also those who got special assistive equipment,” said Rietdorf. “I will hear how these other children’s dreams came true and have events in the communities I visit,” she said. She will be in Vernon May 19 with an event in Polson Park with a ride around the park with anyone who wants to join her. She’s hoping to see people who use wheelchairs and special bikes, as well as anyone else on wheels and is also inviting local bands to perform and organizations and businesses to set up displays. Rietdorf is preparing for her ride by taking a Toastmasters course so she can speak confidently at public events, cross-country skiing and working out on her complimentary membership at Ladies World Gym. “This ride is my way to give something back to Canada as an immigrant. I took English lessons at Vernon and District Immigrant Services when I first got here and met many great people and we keep in touch. Canada has done a lot for me,” said Rietdorf. “Every kilometre counts for the kids and that’s the best motivation I have.” There are several ways to help Anja’s Sunshine Ride—donations of any amount are welcome—and keep up with what she is doing. Things start with an evening event at the Talk’n Donkey in Vernon on March 2, with a silent auction, and a garage sale, also in March. See her Facebook page Anja’s Sunshine Ride (you don’t have to be a Facebook user), go to her website www.sunshineride.ca, contact her at anrie007@yahoo.de or call 250-550-8116.

NEWS ▼ DOWNTOWN KELOWNA
Bernard revitalization gives a boost to city’s main street H ave you been to downtown Kelowna yet to check out the finished first section (Richter to St. Paul) of the Bernard Avenue revitalization? I’ve walked it tons of times since it was completed in early December, and I’m still finding delightful little surprises that the city added into the mix. These delightful little extras were deliberately added to reflect the natural elements of the valley landscape. Why not bring the family down to have your own little “scavenger hunt” and see how many of these features you can find: • Gobo projectors on lamp posts that shine light in a pinecone pattern onto the sidewalk at night. One is right outside Tripke’s. • Basalt paver stones engraved with pictures and names of local flora and fauna; these are inset into the sidewalk at intervals. • Images of the arrow-
WHAT’S UP DOWNTOWN
Jan Johnson leaf balsam root (Kelowna’s official flower) that have been etched into the concrete at the sidewalk corners. • The prettiest bollards I’ve ever seen (bollards are the posts that separate pedestrians from the traffic at corners), featuring corten steel with cutouts in a pine cone pattern (it also looks like a stylized chrysanthemum to me). • Clean, modern, simple benches of natural basalt stone which will stand up to the weather beautifully • Unique photo wrappings on garbage cans and utility boxes. As if all these touches aren’t enough, I just discovered that some of our
new, ultramodern woodtrimmed lamp posts will be featuring artwork soon. I was lucky enough to be on the committee last week that chose a local artist to create the artworks—and I can tell you, they are going to be absolutely gorgeous. They’ll also be backlit at night, which will give them a whole different look from the daytime. I think these lamp posts and their artwork add a bold urban look to our downtown that will take us into the next few decades beautifully. I have to say that I’m so impressed with the city for doing such a classy job of revitalizing the first section of our main street. My thanks to everyone who has worked on the project so far. The work has now started on the section of Bernard closest to the lake (from Abbott to Pandosy), slated to be finished in June. Please remember that all the merchants in this
Shiloh Verhaegen section of Bernard are still open and would love your support during this phase of the revitalization. ••• I’m so happy to see that Shiloh Verhaegen has opened a lovely new shop at 1619 Ellis. Ashbury Boutique is a consignment boutique specializing in bridal and grad gowns. The store’s charm is evident as soon as you pass through the doors.

great things about The Log Barn, at 1443 Ellis St., that I just had to stop by and check it out. The shop is an offshoot of the popular Log Barn in Armstrong, as owners Kimberley and Eric Stuart are the third generation in their family to run the business. I had a great chat with bubbly sales associate Megan, who showed me some of the store’s products with great enthusiasm. Most of their food is hearty fare made locally from Mennonite-based recipes, featuring several flavours of Mennonite sausage, tasty beef jerky, and Gouda cheeses imported from Holland. Their pies are absolutely huge, and come with a delicious variety of fillings (apple, pecan, blueberry and strawberry/ rhubarb to name a few). Then there’s the candy —candy popcorn, huge “whirly pop” lollipops, saltwater taffy and flour flavours of fudge. And it doesn’t stop
there as The Log Barn has a wall of their own pickled vegetables (baby beets and asparagus were really tasty), as well as jams, jellies and syrups (wild plum jam, anyone?) on display. Interspersed with all this bounty are some whimsical retro toys, hand-made quilts and crocheted tablecloths. There are some tables so you can eat in, or just take your treats and head for home. You’ll feel like the proverbial “kid in a candy shop” at this unique shop – don’t miss it. Sure hope you have some time in February to come downtown and appreciate all the positive changes happening this month. You’ll be amazed. Jan Johnson is the coowner of Tigerlily Fashions and Alleycat Fashion Outlet.

I also am learning how to handle money! If somebody hands me a twenty dollar bill and say they need change back for what they purchased i dont have a problem with it! I can figure out the amount they need very quick! Also from this i have been learning responsibility, when i choose the days i want to work i look into my schedule and make plans so i guess that could also count as organization, Also with the money i have been making i can now purchase my own stuff, i have been saving up money so that i could join some sports.

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.

He will need additional leash training as he does pull somewhat on his leash. We would prefer he not go to a home with small children primarily because of his size and power.

Slowing down drivers on Boucherie Road Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Drivers will have more time to enjoy the newly improved Westside wine route—because they will be travelling slower. Council voted during Tuesday’s council meeting to reduce the speed limit along Boucherie Road—between Stuart Road and Highway 97—from 60 km/h to 50 km/h. In 2012, the section of Boucherie Road, from Stuart Road to Highway 97, was upgraded to a “wine route” standard. The roadway now contains curb and gutter, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, landscaped medians and ornamental street lighting. “With the upgrade of Boucherie Road to the wine route status…the geometry, the site conditions, the driveways and slope, it’s appropriate to reduce that to 50 km/h, mainly for safety,” said David Knowles Gary O’Rourke, District of West Kelowna director of engineering. Coun. David Knowles said he was puzzled why a recently improved road now requires a lower speed. “Improving it doesn’t necessarily mean you can drive a certain speed; some very nice roads are built to keep cars at a lot less than 50,” said Doug Findlater O’Rourke. “I think if we really looked at it, it probably should have been 50 (km/h) before.” Mayor Doug Findlater said he supported the speed limit reduction because the new wine route is built for increased cyclist and pedestrian traffic. Coun. Duane Ophus also agreed with the speed reduction, but noted it will be “a fairly significant” change for people who are used to driving the street. O’Rourke said the district may wish to reduce the speed limit along more of Boucherie Road in the future. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

FREE SKATE…Ryan Skeys shoots at a net in Jim Lind Arena on Monday during the West Kelowna Family Day stick and puck event. Three time slots were set up to allow kids from five to 14 years of age time to shoot around on the rink during the inaugural B.C. Family Day.
▼ JIM LIND ARENA
Planned upgrades cheaper than predicted Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Repairs to Jim Lind Arena are set to begin in a month-and-a-half and will cost $300,000 less than the district initially anticipated. The work will begin April 1 and cost the district $1.11 million.
Last October, Mayor Doug Findlater said a major failure could be “catastrophic” if improvements weren’t made to the 35-year-old facility. The arena has had two major leaks over the past seven years—both forced the rink to close for a week so repairs could be completed.
The district will likely lose about $50,000 in revenue during the construction period; if similar work was done in the winter, the amount lost would likely be four times higher. The new boards will be installed in the same configuration as Royal LePage Place, so the dry
floor will be useable in both rinks. “It will give us more versatility in the whole facility,” said Findlater. The district has also applied for a $250,000 grant through the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund to go toward the project. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Shake the level of salt consumed in your diet Tara Stark CONTRIBUTOR
Telling your story most accurately —the Capital News
During the renovations, which are scheduled until Aug. 1, the arena will be closed to the public. James Alexander Construction Ltd., in partnership with Palladian Developments Inc., came in with the lowest of four bids to replace the ice floor, arena boards and rink lighting.
Canadians have developed a taste for salt. Sodium is a nutrient found in
table salt and many other foods and most of us eat more than double the amount we need each day. Too much sodium puts stress on our hearts
and can put our health at risk. February is Heart Month, a great time to learn about how reducing the amount of sodium
we eat can help keep our “tickers” healthy. Adults only need about 1,500 mg of sodium each day for good health. This small amount of sodium helps
to regulate body fluids and blood pressure, and keeps our muscles and nerves running smoothly.

▼ ABUSE OF POWER
Don’t let insurance companies run roughshod over your rights ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott the insurance company to advance the $2,000 an injured victim desperately needs to make a mortgage payment? The abuse that makes me the most angry is the way an insurance company will use advances to manipulate an injured victim. The injured victim is in financial distress. The advances are desperately needed to keep the household financially afloat. Because the law doesn’t require them, the insurance company can cut off the advances, causing the boat to sink, at their whim. Injured victims are at the mercy of the insurance company. If the insurance company says jump, you jump. For example, even though they have zero medical authority, insurance adjusters are regularly manipulating a victim’s medical care by providing advances to pay for the medical treatments the adjuster wants you to
WIN
T
here’s not much in this world that gets me angrier than an abuse of power. I could say that it starts with the physical or social power wielded by bullies in the school playground but that would ignore the abuses against children that occur before children even get to school. Anytime there is a power imbalance, whether physical, financial or because of the nature of what should be a trusting relationship, the weak are vulnerable to abuse by the strong. Yes, this most certainly extends to the relationship of trust between lawyers and their clients. Just like teachers, police officers and the clergy, as hard as we try to keep the bad apples out of our profession, some inevitably slip in. The abuse of power that I most often see is by a financially powerful insurance company against an injured victim of negligence who has become financially vulnerable because of the combination of impaired earnings and added medical care expense that will throw any household budget into crisis. This abuse of power, though, is perfectly legal. Apart from a meagre set of “up front” benefits payable in a car crash injury scenario, the insurance company is perfectly entitled to wait until a final settlement or court judgment before reimbursing ongoing income losses and the bulk of treatment expenses that might cause a home to go into foreclosure. The abuse, in my view, comes about in the way the insurance company chooses to provide interim financial relief by way of cash “advances.” Advances are cash payments made by the insurance company before a final settlement or court judgment. The insurance company is not required by law to provide them. If not required by law, is the insurance company being generous when providing advances? If so, how could the use of advances possibly be considered an abuse? If the absolute minimum value of a claim is $150,000, would you consider it generous for
www.kelownacapnews.com B9
have and cutting off advances that would pay for others. I consider that an abuse. Worse, is the use of advances to manipulate injured victims out of fair compensation for their losses. There are two ways this occurs. One way, is when the insurance company throws in a low-ball settlement offer at the same time they are cutting off the cash advances the injured victim has been relying on for financial survival. This is usually within the first year or so of the crash when the medical system is still optimistic about a full recovery. The injured victim is financially pressured to put all his or her eggs into the optimistic basket, hoping that the settlement will carry through until that full recovery is realized. Zero consideration is given to the reality that the offer itself is woefully unfair. All the injured victim can focus on is relief from financial distress. Another manipulation is the well-known tactic of cutting off interim financial relief if the injured victim hires a lawyer. This tactic is so widely
used and so well known that many people are nervous even having a free initial consultation with me, fearful that the insurance adjuster will somehow find out. Don’t let an insurance company financially manipulate you or anyone close to you. Get alternative financing if the insurance company cuts off funding for recommended care. Get legal advice before accepting any settlement. If you are worried about insurance company advances being cut off if you consult with a lawyer, do so initially by telephone and discuss ways that the lawyer can be retained without the insurance company finding out. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case.

Reduce your salt consumption Heart from B8 Unfortunately, most of us consume around 3,400 mg which can lead to high blood pressure—a major risk factor for stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. Some sodium occurs naturally in foods, but most is added for flavour and preservation. All types of salt, including sea salt, kosher salts and other gourmet salts contain similar amounts of sodium. Over 75 per cent of
the sodium we eat comes from processed foods. Sodium is also found in lesser amounts in many foods that don’t taste salty such as bread, baked goods, and breakfast cereals. Take these simple steps to reduce the amount of sodium that you eat: • Create meals at home from fresh unprocessed foods • Eat fewer packaged, ready to eat and take out foods • Use the Nutrition Facts table to com-
pare products and choose products that are lower in sodium • Add little or no salt to food when cooking and remove the salt shaker from your table. Easy access to low sodium foods can help us all make better choices. Use your voice and your buying power to send a message to the food industry to offer lower sodium products:
