Murder victim Jeremy Snow was jailed as one of two young helicopter pilots who attempted daring solo flights smuggling drugs from Canada to the United States. STAFF REPORTER
The RCMP Major Crimes Unit has confirmed the identity of the two victims involved in the West Kelowna double homicide, one of whom is connected to an infamous anti-trafficking operation known as Operation Blade Runner. Tiffany June Goruk, 30, and Jeremy Daniel Snow, 33, both from West Kelowna, were found dead inside an SUV Monday
night after the vehicle crashed into the side of the Terravita condo complex in West Kelowna, careening into a lamppost along the way. Shortly after arriving on scene at approximately 11 p.m., West Kelowna RCMP discovered the deaths were not due to the crash, but rather that the two had been murdered. The RCMP Major Crimes Unit was called in to assist. Goruk, a mother of two young boys, did not have a criminal re-

Information from that arrest led to a sting that took down 24-year-old Revelstoke mountain bike enthusiast Samuel Brown, a young man who lived and died on the edge.

cord, but police confirmed Snow had been jailed in the United States after he was arrested for his involvement in a helicopter drug smuggling operation busted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and RCMP in 2009. Operation Blade Runner, as the joint operation was known, began with a routine traffic stop by the Utah Highway Patrol in Salt Lake City, which ended in the seizure of 83 kilograms of cocaine and the arrest of two men— 50-year-old Leonard Ferris, of Nevada, and 53-year-old Ross Legge, of Alberta—the Capital News sister paper, the Revelstoke Times Review reported at the time.

The RCMP Southeast District Major Crimes Unit and the West Kelowna RCMP are investigating a double murder discovered Monday night after an SUV careened into the Terravita condominium complex. Police were called to the complex at 11 p.m. Monday after reports of a single vehicle collision at one of the complex buildings just off Auburn Road. Upon arrival, officers found a black SUV, which had driven into a parking lot entrance light standard. Two individuals were dead inside the vehicle and an examination of the scene determined the deaths were not a result of the collision, but due to homicide. Witnesses said a man was seen fleeing from the vehicle in the immediate aftermath of the crash and a police service dog was deployed, tracking the suspect’s trail for several kilometres. By Tuesday, RCMP could say they believe the suspect left the scene down a walking trail onto Bentley and Daimler roads, in a southwest direction through the residential area. The dogs tracked the scent to Bylands Road, across Highway 97, and lost it i n the Ross Road area in the vicinity of the Mount Boucherie Complex. Malcolm Yarborough, a resident at Terravita for 15 months, said he heard “a little noise” before he went to bed at midnight, but had no reason to think anything was wrong. “I was very surprised to hear about it,” he said. “This is an upscale, top-of-the-line complex…I wouldn’t have expected this kind of thing to happen right here.” He added this event doesn’t make him feel any less safe in the area he lives. “It’s one of those things that could happen anywhere; unfortunately, it happened here.” Last week it was reported crime had dropped in West Kelowna by nearly one-third from 2009 to 2011. Although the timing is coincidental, Mayor Doug Findlater said Monday night’s incident was unique. “This is a very uncommon occurrence in terms of what it appears it may be. This is a unique situation and not reflective of the community in general,” said Findlater. “Obviously it’s a tragedy when something like this happens to anyone.”

The Kelowna RCMP detachment could have a new larger home by 2016. And it could be located on a road that the city’s mayor believes will, by 2025, be an extension of Highway 33 leading into the city’s North End and to a possible future second crossing of Okanagan Lake. Walter Gray, in his annual state of the city address to the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce Wednesday said planning and design work has already started on the new $41.6-million protective services building. A request for proposals could be issued this fall. The new building will house the city’s growing RCMP detachment and will be built on land the city already owns on Clement Avenue between Richter Street and St. Paul Street. Pending final approval
by council in next year’s budget, the new building, which would replace the smaller 50-year-old Doyle Avenue detachment, could also house complimentary city departments like bylaw enforcement. Initial plans call for construction to start in 2015 and be complete in 2016, said Gray, who referred to a city-produced map of proposed and in-progress projects during his speech. “These aren’t things we want to see happen, these are things that will happen,” he said following his address when asked about the long list of projects he said the city will see over the next few years, particularly in the downtown area and in Rutland. The mayor’s speech outlined many of the accomplishments of his council during its first year in office. But it also highlighted several upcoming projects he said will be catalysts for de-

velopment downtown. While much of what Gray spoke about has already been extensively reported, such as a planned new high rise office tower downtown to house as many as 1,000 Interior Health Authority workers, a new $15-million parkade between Memorial Arena and the Kelowna Heritage Museum, a $4-million extension onto the existing Library parkade, a new tourist information building in City Park, an expansion of Stuart Park, relocation of the Kelowna Yacht Club to the site of the soon-to-be demolished former Water Street Seniors’ Centre and construction of a new $5-million pubic pier and commercial dock at the foot of Queensway, news that the city is now in the planning and design stage for the new RCMP building was a surprise. Long talked about by the city, the need for a new RCMP building has been necessitated because the existing building is just too small for the size of the detachment. In December, the city council agreed to add 12 more officers to the 156 already working out of the detachment building across the road from City Hall. That building, built in 1962, has had major renovations made to it in the past, including the addition of a second floor. In his speech, Gray said he believes Clement Avenue, parts of which were widened to four lanes several years ago when it was dubbed the North End Connector and then the Central Okanagan Bypass, will one day be an extension of Highway 33.

MAYOR Walter Gray speaks at the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Wednesday afternoon. terprise Way and Highway 33. The road, said Gray, could one day lead to a second bridge across Okanagan Lake and that day will likely be by 2025 based on traffic projections. Gray said most of the land needed to extend Clement to Highway 33 is already owned by the city, so now it is a question of funding. Given that the road will cost millions of dollars and needs to be four lanes wide, and a new bridge could be as much as $250 million, Gray said the city will need the province to step up with funding. “But anything we can do on this side will reduce the overall budget,” he said. He said the city has lobbied both the current B.C. transportation minister and the NDP’s transportation critic to consider looking at a transportation corridor leading to a possible second bridge, as the city’s traffic projections show the second crossing will be needed by 2025. “Our numbers are (the B.C. government’s) number because that’s where they are coming from,” said Gray about the pro1 jections.
The province replaced the 49-year-old Okanagan Lake Floating Bridge with the existing five-lane William R. Bennett Bridge in May 2008 at a cost of $144 million. The mayor said the province has a policy of not “isolating” land for future projects more than 10 years out and that is why no transportation corridor for a second crossing has been identified yet by Victoria. Still, he said, he remains confident a corridor could be identified by Victoria some time after 2015 based on the timing of the need for the second crossing. Gray’s speech also included references to the city’s plan to spend $89 million on capital projects throughout city this year, including transportation improvements in Rutland, such as a new transit exchange on Shepherd Road this spring, the second phase of the Rapid Bus program to link Rutland with UBCO and Okanagan College and other pedestrian improvement projects, as well as the ongoing $14-million Bernard Avenue revitalization project downtown. awaters @kelownacapenews.com

Sentence delayed for assault related to person being lit on fire Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR
The sentencing hearing for a man who lit another man on fire at a house party, has been delayed after the Crown in the case was double-booked. “It’s not Crown’s fault here,” said administrative judge Robin Smith after the court heard a member of the local Crown counsel was scheduled to conduct two separate sentencing hearings at the same time Tuesday morning.
“It’s our fault.” The two men scheduled for sentencing are both in custody. Priority was given to the other case as the defence lawyer is from the Lower Mainland, the court heard. A new sentencing date was supposed to be set for Mathew SweetGrant on Wednesday afternoon. Sweet-Grant, 20, admitted to aggravated assault and assault to a weapon at his second court appearance in December on the charges. Police have alleged he intentionally set an 18-year-old man on fire
in December after the man passed out at a party in the 2500-block of Highway 97. The 18-year-old victim received second and third degree burns to most of his back. A second man, Joshua McWhirter, was also arrested in connection with the burning incident. He was initially charged with aggravated assault, but this week a charge of assault with a weapon was added. He returns to court Thursday.
Judge offers advice to man convicted of assault in domestic dispute Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR
A man who choked his girlfriend until she fell unconscious is being urged to break the cycle of violence he witnessed as a child and get to the root of what makes him violent. Last June, Steven McLaughlin visited Kelowna with a woman he met on Facebook and began to argue with her after seeing her talking to some men he had earlier had a run-in with while she was working as an exotic dancer. There are conflicting accounts of what happened, said Judge Anne Wallace, but the woman had bruises on her neck from being choked unconscious and a cut to her face. She disagreed with McLaughlin’s testimony that he acted in self defense and found him guilty of assault with a weapon (knife) and assault causing bodily harm in December. As a judge, Wallace said she often sees that “an accused’s behaviour is usually a mirror of the behaviour he experienced at home.” And while she has a “great deal of sympathy” for the upbringing McLaughlin had, “it is not an excuse.” “You cannot continue

to play the role of the victim.” McLaughlin, 37, witnessed his alcoholic father nearly kill his mother and was himself the victim of abuse as a child. Later in life the aboriginal man turned to drinking and drugs for a time and eight years ago threatened the mother of his children. During McLaughlin’s sentencing hearing on Tuesday, Wallace said she’s concerned he doesn’t take responsibility for his part in the June altercation and wants him to “get to the root” of what makes him violent. His lawyer, David Silverman, said there is “de-
sire on McLaughlin’s part to get a handle on his violence issues. “He knows he’s the one responsible for the injuries she suffered,” Silverman said. However, McLaughlin disagrees with the court’s conclusion that he was guilty of the charges he was convicted of, Silverman submitted. Crown counsel David Grabavac asked for a jail sentence between 18 months to two years less a day plus probation, noting that McLaughlin was assessed at a medium to high risk to re-offend. Defence asked for time served. In the end, Wallace
sentenced McLaughlin to six months in jail, but gave him credit for the five months he has already spent in custody. As well, he was sentenced to an additional 30 days for a breach charge. Following jail, McLaughlin will be on probation for 18 months. Conditions include no contact with his former girlfriend, to not consume alcohol, drugs or anabolic steroids, and take programs through his band to deal with his domestic violence and anger management issues. He is also not allowed to have weapons, except for work or when hunting for food for his family.

The West Kelowna Residents’ Association will continue to shine a light on the need for an urgent care centre on the Westside when it hosts its annual general meeting on March 27. The district’s chief financial officer Jim Zaffino and health consultant Joanne Konnert will provide presentations at the meeting. Zaffino will explain how taxes relate to services in West Kelowna and Konnert will give an update on Westside health care concerns and developments.
West Kelowna Residents’ Association president Joe Lavigne said the development of an urgent care centre is the top concern for the association. “We’re sort of in the dark still, but we’re hopeful that something is going to be done sooner, rather than later,” said Lavigne. “We’re happy that an effort is being made.” During the past several months the association’s health and safety sub-committee has been working to support Konnert in the execution of her contract with the district by providing local information on existing health care providers in the area.
In addition, the association has completed a major survey project to acquire feedback from residents and medical personnel that identifies critical gaps in health care on the Westside. “There are too many gaps, too many delays. We need an urgent care centre on the Westside—that will shorten wait times and take some pressure off Kelowna General Hospital.” All residents of the Westside and any interested parties are welcome to attend the meeting, which takes place at the Westbank Lions Hall at 7 p.m. March 27. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Elections BC seeks to enumerate voters for May election Elections BC is conducting an enumeration and updating the provincial voters list for the May 2013 provincial general election. Are you on the voters list? “Elections BC is implementing a multi-layered approach to enumerating the province in advance of the May 14 provincial general election” explained Keith Archer, chief electoral officer. “We are asking eligible voters to register and
those already on the list to ensure their voter registration is up-to-date.” Beginning Monday, Feb. 25, more than 1.9 million notices will be mailed to residential addresses in the province asking eligible residents to register to vote or to update their voter registration information. Residents can do so online (www.elections. bc.ca/ovr) or by calling Elections BC toll-free at 1-800-661-8683. Residents may also identify the names of vot-

Be ready for the provincial general election.” Register as a provincial voter online at www. elections.bc.ca/ovr or by phone at 1-800-661-8683.
ENUMERATION FACTS
• 3,276,388—number of estimated eligible voters in B.C. as of April 1, 2012 (BC Stats) • 3,145,120—number of registered voters in B.C. as of February 11, 2013 (Elections BC) •2,995,465—number of registered voters as of the May 12, 2009 provincial general election • An enumeration is a set of voter registration outreach activities conducted before an election • Enumerations improve the accuracy and completeness of the prov-
incial voters list. This is particularly important in B.C., which has a high mobility rate. • Creating an accurate voters list enhances the efficiency of the voting process. When voters are pre-registered they will receive timely information about voting opportunities, and are able to vote quickly and easily, reducing their time at the voting place. • Beginning in April 2013, Elections BC voter registration officials will visit homeless shelters, social service agen-
cies and long-term care facilities to register eligible voters and provide information about voting. The objective of these outreach activities is to make registration accessible for those who may otherwise face barriers to participation in the provincial electoral process.

▼ OUR VIEW
Bold vision lacking in budget
S
hort sighted. Increased taxes. Questionable economic growth projections. Public service staff cuts. Restraint ons pending. These and other similar terms have become the standard fare for governments introducing new budgets. The current B.C. Liberal government unveiled its last budget Tuesday prior to the upcoming provincial election that was short on any new dynamics and more recycling of the same old economic thinking.
The idea of hiking the corporate tax by one point to 11 per cent and following the taxrich-the-rich philosophy for those over the $150,000 earning threshold has led some to call the Liberal financial plan for 201213 an “NDP budget.” Surely such comments will make most Liberals cringe, but with a stagnant economy at the moment, in the big picture there is little difference between the two parties and what they propose to do. The middle class in B.C., and
across Canada, is suffering, perhaps not to the same extent as the disappearing middle class in the U.S., but times are tough. People are leaving town to work in northern B.C. or Alberta where resource-based industries are fuelling high paying jobs, particularly here in Kelowna where the higher paying new jobs don’t exist. All around us, fees for everything from medical plan coverage to car insurance is going up to an extent that our wages will never be able to match.
So the real question that no government in the U.S. or Canada wants to address is how to give taxpayers more bang for their buck. How do we fairly collect taxes across the income levels to support the government services we rely on, and allow our wages to be stretched further by holding the line on tax and fee increases. Now that would be a discussion worth having in the upcoming election campaign, but we won’t likely hear it.

Service club members donate money and time to community To the editor: Kelowna Minor Lacrosse has been very fortunate to have had the support of the Kelowna and Westbank Kinsmen Clubs for years. These supportive service clubs have sponsored our free Learn to Play Lacrosse Program for six years. The Kinsmen Learn to Play Program was developed in 2008 to give children exposure to Canada’s National summer sport. With childhood obesity on the rise in Canada it is important our community offers free opportunities for children to get active
and involved. The program is four session for 1.5 hours at the Capital News Centre sports fields. Our Kelowna Minor Lacrosse coaches, older players and Junior Raiders volunteer their time to mentor the children. There are usually 60 players at each session. I was fortunate to attend a Kelowna Kinsmen meeting. I was surprised to see members in their 30s, 40s and 50s from Summerland, Westbank, Kelowna and Armstrong. The group is volunteers involved for the greater good of the community they live in. Kelowna Minor Lacrosse is very
fortunate the have not only the financial support from the Kelowna Kinsmen Club, they also volunteered at our Mini-Tyke/Tykes Jamboree last spring. Several members volunteered with the youngest players on a Saturday when they could have been somewhere else. I admire their commitment to our community. Many local service clubs have declining membership or are disbanding. My grandparents were members of the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs for 75 years, these groups built the Three Links Senior Manor in
Kelowna, purchased the house that is now Abbeyfield, funded many local sports associations, offered post secondary scholarships, donated to the United Nations and many more generous deeds. Unfortunately, their hall was sold in 2012. As their elderly members passed on, the younger generations did not step into their shoes. The various service clubs world wide support many wonderful causes. This great support is slowly fading away as these dedicated members age. As a member of the Kelowna Minor Lacrosse Association for the past
six years I would like to thank the Kelowna Kinsmen Club, Westbank Kinsmen Club, The Elks Lodge and Canadian Legion Branch #26—you have all supported our young lacrosse athletes. Over the years your clubs have enabled our children to participate in sport, keep active, meet new friends, travel to other communities for games and be a part of Canada’s National Sport.

Ballet Kelowna an inspiration to children
To the editor: In response to the sad news that Ballet Kelowna may be closing its doors, I must say how detrimental that would be to Kelowna and the entire arts community. My daughter dances and we often attend the Ballet Kelowna performances. As a young aspiring dancer she is inspired to further her dance studies. Due to the inspiration and role models of the wonderful dancers in Ballet Kelowna, like Raelyn Hepple for one, my daughter is in-
spired to pursue a career in ballet and dance professionally. It would be sad to lose this wonderful organization that so inspires our children to become dancers and develop their talents. The role Ballet Kelowna plays in the production of the Nutcracker every year gives young dancers a chance to be a part of a wonderful experience. Surely we can rally together as a community to save Ballet Kelowna. If we all give just a little it would make a difference. We, as

Culture is what people willingly pay for themselves, not expect gov’t to pay To the editor: What is culture: • The symphony or a rock concert? • The art gallery or a Canucks hockey game? • The ballet, or Dancing with the Stars? Sorry to say it is the rock concert, the hockey game and Dancing with the Stars. Why? People want to see these things and will pay big money to see them. Every symphony in North America, with the exception of a few, and ballet, and art gal-
lery must get public funding to exist. Why? People do not think it is worthwhile to spend their hard earned dollars to pay for admission at a level needed to carry the programs. But supporters of the ballet, symphony, arts and many other people have the fuzzy idea that culture is a good thing but should be paid by the government, (municipal, provincial or federal) because culture enriches our lives. Kids can go to show and tell at the art gallery for free on a field trip, and I don’t have to pay my kid’s admission because all the tax-

‘Blank and monotonous people’ without arts to look up to and greater heights to achieve. With the continuation of Ballet Kelowna, the future for these young dancers looks a lot brighter. For example, Desiree Bortolussi, now an apprentice dancer with Ballet Kelowna, was just a young ballet student at the Canadian School of Ballet when Ballet Kelowna started. Over the years, she had Ballet Kelowna to
watch and a goal to aspire to, and is now a beautiful young dancer with a career in dance. I have watched as the dancers in the company have evolved as artists. Ballet Kelowna is a launching pad for young dancers across Canada to come to and thrive and gain invaluable experience in this field. There are few opportunities for Canadian dancers to
dance professionally and the experience this company gives them in the diversity of roles and performing opportunities is priceless. David LaHay has done an amazing job in founding this company and carrying through its vision over the last 10 years. His dedication, hard work and perseverance is second to none. Everyone who loves
Ballet Kelowna, let’s do what we can so it can continue. The future of dance in the Okanagan is in our hands today, and with our out-spoken support, it will continue. After all, the arts give our culture a voice. Without them, we are a blank and monotonous people. How can you put a price on that? Emma Donley, Kelowna

Chamber, local MLA, praise fiscal restraint plan ASSISTANT EDITOR
The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce is congratulating the Liberal government for fulfilling its commitment to return to a balanced budget. “We’ve been pushing governments to make sure they are keeping their fiscal house in order and making sure they are achieving a balanced budget,” said Dave Bond, executive vice-president of the chamber. “Doing that means certain tax increases and cuts to other areas.” But moving forward, the chamber wants to see
Victoria address things it feels will affect B.C.’s ability to be more business competitive, such as the change back to PST from the HST and looking at the tax increases the finance minister announced in the budget Monday, Bond said. The chamber says it is concerned about the impact those measures will have on keeping business competitive. The budget forecast a modest $197-million surplus in 2013-14. The return to balance is to be achieved through a combination of spending restraint and additional revenue measures in-
cluding an increase to the corporate tax rate effective April 1, 2013, a phaseout of the school property tax credit for light industry and an increase in personal income tax for those earning over $150,000, said Finance Minister Mike de Jong. While some of the issues that the Kelowna chamber has put forward in the past, such as more support for the organized crime task force and no tax impact for small businesses, were addressed in the budget, a number of others were not. “A couple of things that we have been advocating for and pushing

ing back to both (the governing Liberals and the Opposition NDP) to make sure they are both looking at those issues.” The finance minister unveiled his government’s promised balanced budget Tuesday, a $44-billion plan bolstered by Crown property sales, increased income tax rates and economic growth expected to continue for three years. His projections call for spending to increase by 1.5 per cent overall in the coming three years. “This is a balanced budget in every sense of the word,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. “It builds on previous budgets to get us to this point.” B.C. has had four deficit budgets in a row leading up to this one and is only the second province in Canada (after Saskatchewan) to bring in a balanced budget this year.
Letnick, who is also the province’s agriculture minister, saw some increases in its funding for his ministry to tackle issues like the replacement of the Canadian Federal Inspection Agency when it comes to inspecting private abattoirs, as well as more money for the Agricultural Land Commission. He said he was particularly pleased to see changes to the carbon tax to help greenhouse operators in B.C. and farmers that use “purple” gasoline in their machinery. The government also plans to spend $1 million to add milk to the school fruit and vegetable nutrition program. The local MLA, says he’s prepared to run again in the May provincial election and defend the Liberal budget. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Past drug running Stack wants to turn bust connection down the noise to murder victim Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Smuggling from A1 cide-proof American jail cell just days after his arrest. He was new to smuggling and his involvement in the drug ring became the focus of a CBC Fifth Estate program titled Over The Edge. Brown’s arrest occurred on Feb. 23, 2009, and he died four days later. It would only be two more weeks, on March 5, 2009, that Snow would be arrested attempting the same style of drug drop, flying into a remote location in Idaho. Brown was arrested flying solo to make a drop at a remote location in Colville, Washington. Snow, 29 years old at the time, was arrested after touching down with 79 kilograms of marijuana attached to the bottom of his Robinson R22 helicopter, The Times Review reported. His helicopter took off just outside Nelson, the law enforcement team discovered, and soon four other Canadians were under arrest for their involvement in the ring. Sean Doak, a 35-yearold from Salmon Arm, was arrested and his parole for a previous conviction revoked as a result of his connection to the case. Adam Serrano, Colin Hugh Martin and James Cameron were all arrested and all still face charges in the United States, the Vancouver Sun reported Wednesday. The article in the Sun indicated Doak was to
have been extradited last Friday, but remains in Canada as he is appealing the order. Friends of Tiffany Goruk, meanwhile, have posted a brief message asking for kind words on the social media site Facebook, along with a picture of a broken heart. Several hundred people have been added to the site as friends thus far, and comments have been pouring in since midday Wednesday. “Rest in paradise Tiffany. I will always remember your beautiful heart. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family, your gorgeous sons and Kevin. We will never forget you,” wrote Jade Montgomery. “I’m literally in shock right now. I haven’t seen you in a year, but I will never forget you! My heart breaks for your family and your boys. We had some good laughs. You will be missed,” commented Rhonda Derickson. A series of pictures of the young woman have also been posted on the page. Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said investigators are advising the general public that the murders are not believed to be a random act and noted there is not a direct threat to the general public. Investigators are continuing with their request for public assistance and have set up a designated tip line for information: 1-888-688-4264.
A Kelowna city councillor wants the province to step in and curtail excessive noise from modified motorcycle and speedboat exhausts. Luke Stack asked for, and received, support from his fellow councillors Monday to send a motion to the upcoming meeting of the Southern Interior Local Government Association. The motion calls on the province to regulate noisy motorcycles and boats because they are often a source of complaints from the public. If it is approved by SILGA, then the resolution would go to the Union of B.C. Municipalities for similar support and if successful there, have the backing of the organization that represents all B.C. municipalities. The city has had a bylaw of its own to deal with motorcycles that had modified exhaust systems and make noise in excess of 92 decibels when idling and 96 decibels when moving. But it has been stalled at third reading for the last year. The reason it has not been adopted by Kelowna council is because local RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon said such a move should be made at the provincial level under the Motor Vehicle Act. “He felt it just wasn’t practical to enforce it,” Stack told council. The proposed bylaw would set the noise level for boats that have exhausts in the air and not below the water level at 85 decibels. Stack said every year the city gets complaints from the public about excessive noise and as the weather improves, he expects the number of complaints will increase. The SILGA meeting is to be held in Salmon Arm in May.

TEAMWORK HAS HEART…Heart pillows play a very critical role in the successful recovery for patients who have had open-heart surgery. Cathy Roberts who is an RN with KGH Cardiac Services, explains how beneficial they are. “By hugging the pillow, the patient’s chest incision is supported while they are coughing and moving, which is important to the healing and alignment of the breast bone after heart surgery.” The Heart and Stroke Foundation provides materials to the Telus Community Ambassadors who construct the pillows who then give them to the new Cardiac Surgery Unit at KGH. As of Feb 15, 129 heart pillows have be sewn and delivered. The Telus community ambassadors have set a goal to sew and deliver 600 for 2013. In the photo above are community ambassador Linda Hayes and Cathy Roberts.

Slean’s persona is poised–seductress meets ballerina Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The last time Sarah Slean played the Kelowna Community Theatre, showcasing the popish Land album of the 2011 Land & Sea dual album release, she was wearing punchy purple with a trendy red lipstick. There was no missing her and she knew it for her pre-performance ritual is all about creating this face for the world. “I think you have to come to terms with the stage,” she said. “You define what you need to be comfortable on it and that takes time.” In her case, this pre-performance makeup routine is akin to putting on this game face, though with ruby red lips not football black smears, and when she sets out on stage, it’s quite clear this is performance. Where others might prefer a laid back, kitchen party-style approach to their concerts or a conversational coffee house style to their time under the lights, Slean is poised and polished, jazz seductress meets ballerina in feel.
Campy in her comedic banter, she is an undeniable creative powerhouse on the Canadian artistic scene and it doesn’t escape one in the stage performance, as the generally shy, independent musician shakes the dust out of the last crevices of her piano. Slean is her own composer and songs come to her when she least expects them, floating in on the breeze as she’s washing dishes or vacuuming. “Part of the reason I travel is for the break from familiarity,” she said in a Skype interview from her European tour earlier this month. “It’s the recipe for new ideas, new inspiration.” One can imagine this collection was a confusing melange when first conjured up. With producers like Hawksley Workman and her husband Royal Wood working the one album and composer Jonathan Goldsmith on the other, dissecting the sounds coming forth into two separate camps would seem overwhelming to anyone else. In Slean’s world, Clas-
sical underpinnings have long courted her penchant for pop, one going hand in hand with the other. “I can trace back my interest in orchestral music. It started at exactly the same time that I fell in love with popular music,” said Slean. “I’m kind of realizing both strains are in my music and always will be.” And so it is that musicians from the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra will be joining Slean on stage as part of a nine-piece string selection she will use to perform Sea. Slean doesn’t play a string, and never has, but they are her favourite instrument to write for, she claims. “The core of it is just knowing what you want to sing. What lines you want, what course. You can write for any instrument if you know the language of music,” she said. Thematically, the albums are aptly named, Land tracing terrestrial, physical things like the difficulty of being a specific person as in the song Girls Hating Girls or disillusionments of excess in Society Song. The Sea portion was
thought is,” her publicity explains. She is calling on her fans to provide beautiful, positive, inspiring thoughts short enough to fit on an index card. Fans can also bring their own creations to the shows, create their own at the merchandise table, or tweet their image with the ▼ hashtag #joyjar. The notes will be hand-beautified by Slean and her bandmates. Slean is also a visual artist whose drawings and paintings and sketches – can be found on her website sarahslean.com. e All of these shining a messages will go in a big a jar on the merchandise a table so people leaving f the show can select one L and spread the love. Slean a will photo blog all of the n messages online at http:// d www.joyjar.us/about. e Sarah Slean brings Sea to the Kelowna Com- i munity Theatre with t Sarah Slean with Strings y on Tuesday, March 5 at 8 a p.m. Tickets are $28 available through Select Your S Tickets, selectyourtickets. l com i jsmith@kelownacapnews.com n e a

SARAH SLEAN performs at the Kelowna Community Theatre March 5. lyrically focused on the intuition that we all have, how similar we are to one another rather than our differences. She references the monk Thich Nhat Hanh who says that while we may all be waves in an
ocean comparing one another for size and shape, the waves are all made from the same water. Slean will try to build on this “flow of good vibes” concept with the tour’s Joy Jar. “The Joy Jar is basic-
ally a blog to pass along a random and empowering or inspiring message to a total stranger, creating a flowering of good vibes that proves how connected we are, and how tremendously important and powerful every single
Beautiful Creatures has little sophistication but comic moments BEAUTIFUL CREATURES I love film about magic and sorcery so that’s why I took myself to see Beautiful Creatures, a film made from the novel of the same name‚. There may be more as there were actually four books in this series: Beautiful Creatures, Beautiful Darkness, Beautiful Chaos, Beautiful Redemption (do you see a theme here, or am I just imagining it). This will definitely appeal to the Breaking Dawn folks as well as the Harry Potter group as there is the eternal battle of good versus evil as Lena Duchannes (played by Alice Englert) approaches her 16th birthday at which time she is either chosen for good or for evil.
With two little BEHIND THE known actors in SCREEN this show (Englert and Alden Ehenreich, who plays Ethan Wate, Lena’s love interest), there was a need perSusan haps to include Steen more seasoned artists and they didn’t disappoint. Lena’s uncle, Macon Ravenwood is played by Jeremy Irons, Amma, the seer, is played by Viola Davis, a double role for Emma Thompson as Serafin and Mrs. Lincoln (no, not that one) add a richness and a few surprises. We
are not used to Emma Thompson playing the bad one—believe me, she’s no Nanny McPhee in this one. In this case, Lena’s family of Casters moves back to town. By definition, Casters are a race of supernatural beings, or (and this is my favourite) a person with the power to be her/himself regardless of what others think. Chaos ensues in this small (minded), no-Starbucks town, as Lena’s 16th birthday looms. The filming was done in Louisiana and had to be stopped temporarily due to tornado warnings. Jack O’Connell was originally cast as Ethan Wade but was replaced at the last minute. Alden Ehenrieich did a good job, in fact, the acting was
good all around. This is no sophisticated couple of hours, but it has charm with quite a number of comic lines and the old plantation house is awesome. One quote I liked: “Anything’s better than a life standing still.” I give Beautiful Creatures three reels. It’s a charming way to spend a couple of hours.
My pick for Best Picture at the Academy Awards is Lincoln. Susan Steen is a local non-profit executive and a movie buff. susansteen1234@shaw.ca

WILL THE WINNER BE Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln (left) or Ben Affleck’s Argo? Watch the Academy Awards on
Sunday night to find out.

Get Oscar entry in for VIP passes
T
his Sunday the Academy Awards are being handed out for the 85th time and if you haven’t taken a moment to enter to win a 12-month VIP pass for two from each of the Landmark Cinemas theatres in the Central Okanagan, here are my predictions in the top six categories. However, be warned, if I was talented enough to pick the winners every year, I would likely not be a movie theatre manager. Starting with Best Supporting Actress, it looks like the favourite is Anne Hathaway. She not only won the Golden Globe for her performance in Les Misérables, but also won at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) award. Best Supporting Actor is a little tougher to predict. Vegas has odds on Phillip Seymour Hoffman in The Master, but Tommy Lee Jones won the SAG award for his portrayal of Thaddeus Stevens in Lincoln and Christoph Waltz won the Golden Globe for his role in Django Unchained. I think Jones deserves a Best Supporting Actor bookend to accompany his win for The Fugitive almost 20 years ago. My personal favourite for Best Actress is Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook. I am not the only one who thinks that as she has won both the Golden Globe (Comedy or Musical) and the SAG award. However, upsets could be provided by Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) or even Emmanuelle Riva, who won the British Academy Film Award for Amour. Best Actor will go to Daniel Day-Lewis as he has already won every
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis award possible for his portrayal of Lincoln. Best director is usually easier to predict, but since Ben Affleck was unfathomably snubbed in this category for Argo, the money seems to be on Steven Spielberg for Lincoln. But Ang Lee’s achievement that was Life of Pi could also be recognized as well as David O. Russell for Silver Linings Playbook. The real upset could
come from Michael Haneke for Amour, which is a shoe-in for Best Foreign Language Film. Ben Affleck will get his well deserved recognition when the Academy awards him with Best Picture for Argo. What will live on in infamy is if Lincoln takes even that deserved award away from him. With Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, Ted) hosting, this should be an interesting Oscars to watch. Opening this weekend is Snitch, in which Dwayne Johnson stars as a father whose son is facing a minimum 10 year prison sentence after being wrongly accused of drug trafficking. Desperate and de-
termined to free his son, he makes a deal with the U.S. attorney (Susan Sarandon) to work as an undercover informant and infiltrate a drug cartel on a dangerous mission. Dark Skies stars Keri Russell (TV’s Felicity) and Josh Hamilton star in this supernatural thriller as a couple who witness an escalating series of disturbing events involving their family. When it becomes clear that they and their children are being targeted by an unimaginably terrifying and deadly force, they take matters in their own hands. Rick Davis is the general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8. landmarkwk_gm @landmarkcinemas.ca

Recognize volunteers in ways that matter Dawn Wilkinson COLUMNIST
It took me a while to realize that people like to be thanked in different ways. The lights went on for me when I attended the Overview of Volunteer Management (OVM) course offered by KCR many years ago. I was coordinating the youth restorative justice program for the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs at the time. The course taught us
to match volunteer recognition with basic motivation. There are achievers, people people, and those who like to influence. Achievers are the ones who like to get ’er done. They view success as excellence or improved performance and like to work on concrete projects with a definite end and are open to moving into more challenging tasks. Ideas for mak-
ing achievers feel valued include certificates or pins, letters of recommendation, running efficient meetings, providing more training and giving feedback about the steps reached or people served. Affiliation volunteers like to be with people. Recognition involves being noticed, receiving personalized thank yous and attending an appreciation pot luck. Remember to include name badges, use team projects, talk in terms of ‘we’ and ‘us’, and post the photos taken.
Influencers plan and think outside the box to introduce change. Their goal is to impact others. Make their recognition public, provide opportunities to meet others with influence, include them in the action and let them innovate. Think carefully about the names of projects and their roles in decision-making. Have their picture taken with the executive director or other VIP. Nominate them for a ‘Something of the Year’ award.
Learn more about working with volunteers by attending our next Overview of Volunteer Management course in April. This four-day course costs $199 and includes structure to set up or to improve an existing volunteer program. Register online at www.kcr.ca under Find Workshops, or call me at 250-763-8008 ext 25.

SPRING INTO STYLE By Sam Hill, Contributor
It’s coming guys, slowly but surely! Spring is on its way and everyday that the sun is shining I feel inspired to pull out my flip-flops and tee shirts, but then I step out the door and turn right back around to go change. Brrrrr. Until it heats up a bit I can at least plan out some spring style purchases! The first item on my list of spring must haves is a cute pair of sneakers or slip-ons. I’ve never been a big fan of ballet flats so delightful little sneaks are the perfect shoes for the transition from boots to flip-flops. Some of my favourites include Roxy slip-ons, which you can find at Below the Belt or Premium Label Outlet, and lace up Keds, which you can find at Soft Moc.
SARAH JESSICA PARKER
The next item on my list is a good stack of loose tees! Graphic or solid colours both do the trick. They are all so versatile! I love pairing these tees with either tight jeans or leggings and my trusty slip-ons or combat boots. Loose tees are perfect for the cool weather transition because you can layer some tanks underneath them to add some warmth. Another solution for looking stylish during the change in weather is knee high socks. I love the look of high knit socks with a flouncy dress or skirt or some short shorts. Your pins stay warm while still showing off a little skin. American Apparel tube socks are always a good pick. Ray-Ban. Enough said. When that sun starts shining all you really need is a good pair of sunnies. Ray-Ban Wayfarers are on my list this year. They flatter most face shapes and just look effortlessly cool. Sunglass Hut has an incredible selection of sunglasses and fantastic service. My final spring style must have is a denim jacket or vest. These pieces will never go out of style! Even your mom’s 30-year-old acid wash, DIY denim vest still does the trick. I wear my denim jacket with some cargo crops and layered tanks along with my slipons and sunnies. A slicked back, low sitting bun in your hair finishes this outfit off perfectly. A denim vest also pairs well with a flowy spring maxi dress. If you couldn’t gather that I’m excited for spring, let me tell you, I’m so excited! Time to start planning fresh new outfits and enjoying the beautiful Okanagan sunshine!

Kelowna’s climate action plan draws praise with award The City of Kelowna’s climate action plan has been recognized by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
Mayor Walter Gray of 12 handed out to citwas in Windsor, Ont., last ies and towns across Canweek to pick up an FCM ada this year that are comSustainable Commun- ing up with ways to tackle T:5.694” ity Award for the city, one the problem of green-
house gas emissions. Endorsed by council last May, the Community Climate Action Plan identifies actions the city can
take to achieve its official community plan goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 33 per cent below 2007 levels by 2020. The plan includes 87 actions to reduce emissions, with more than half aimed at reducing transportation emissions. Transportation contrib-

greenhouse gas emissions through its leadership and creating businesses cases for implementing the needed initiatives. That plan, endorsed by the former city council in December 2010, sets a goal of reducing corporate GHG emissions by 22 per cent below 2007 levels by 2017.

Kelowna residents who wish to be informed when pesticide spraying occurs close to their homes are asked to register with the City of Kelowna’s Pesticide Notification Registry before March 15. “Since certified applicants are still able to apply chemical pesticides, we want to make sure residents have the option of knowing when spaying is taking place in their area,” said environment and land use manager Todd Cashin. Residents must sign up each year for the registry to be kept accurate and up-todate. Those included in the 2012 registry must register again if they wish to be included in this year’s notification program. The city’s pesticide bylaw came into effect Jan. 1, 2009 and it restricts the use of non-essential pesticides by homeowners on residential properties. Pesticide applicators who are provin-

How you show up for work matters
T
here is a lot of information available about how the work environment affects job satisfaction. It is often framed as something that is outside of us personally, something over which we have little control. That is simply not accurate. The atmosphere of any workplace reflects an active combination of how processes and people operate together. By definition, workplace interactions are dynamic, not static. Two or more forces are coming together to produce a certain kind of interaction. Certainly, as new employees we will step into an existing work setting that has its own distinct characteristics already in place, however, we also influence it once we join. Our particular role is important to a smooth transition but there is much more to it. The quality of our relationships with colleagues, our boss, and our customers/ clients can make a huge difference to how successfully we fit
WORK LIFE
Laurie Mills into the work group. Of course there will always be people we get along with immediately and others that simply confuse or exasperate us. I often hear people talking negatively about their co-workers, often blaming certain individuals for causing a poor work atmosphere for everyone else. To me, that is a cop out. Personality clashes are never one-sided events. Typically those who complain most about someone else play a key part in feeding the dysfunction of the relationship. When we find ourselves annoyed or offended by a co-worker’s behaviour, it doesn’t help to just ignore it or complain about it to someone else. Instead we need to ask ourselves, “In what
Addressing the issue of intolerance richard rolke CONTRIBUTOR
Intolerance continues to generate pain in the community. Kelowna Community Resources will host a Respect Network diversity workshop Feb. 28. “We are working to promote respect for all and address discrimination issues,” said Annette Sharkey, one of the organizers. “We know there is racism and discrimination in the community.” The workshop—which is free and includes a lunch—is primarily directed towards non-profit societies, government agencies and businesses. “A participant could be someone working on the frontline or is a human resources officer,” said Sharkey. The facilitator will be Eric Wong, an educator, will challenge participants to explore the ways in which diversity DNA impacts perceptions and comfort zone in welcoming and embracing differences. The Respect Network is funded by the provincial government and it includes community groups in the Thompson-Okanagan trying to ensure all residents are welcomed, valued and respected. The Vernon workshop will be held Feb. 28 at the Kelowna Sikh Temple, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Organizations wishing to register for the workshop can e-mail coyotefoxconsulting@gmail.com. For more information on the Respect Network, go to www.respectnetwork.ca Sharkey admits that racism is an uncomfortable issue but she hopes the workshop will be well attended. “It’s all about opening our eyes to other cultures. The workshop is very positive so people can learn,” she said.
way am I allowing the behaviour to continue and why?” If we haven’t at least tried to address the situation directly with the other person, our silence makes us complicit in feeding an unhealthy dynamic. When we get caught up in destructive interpersonal dynamics it takes a toll on our productivity. The impact is never limited to the individual parties who are at odds either. Everyone feels the discomfort and that simply isn’t fair. Workplace dynamics are complicated. The reality is that we are unlikely to be buddies with everyone we work with; we may not even like some of them. However, we have a responsibility to our employers to behave well at work and to get along with our co-workers. So, how do you show up for work each day?
Do you convey a pleasant mood and positive attitude? Do you arrive ready to get things done? Are you helpful and cooperative with your co-workers? Do you consciously practice respectful communication with everyone? If you can’t honestly answer yes to these questions, it may be time for you to examine how your own behaviour may be contributing to a less than positive work environment. If you feel improvements are needed, start with yourself first. Laurie Mills is an ICF certified executive coach and human resource professional.

UBCO nets skilled player for ’13-14 season
year. The Vancouver player has committed to the UBCO Heat program for 2013.
The UBC Okanagan men’s soccer program continues to add high level prospects to its stable of players for the 2013 season. Giovanni Carida, a two-time AAA high school provincial champion, has elected to join the Heat when he graduates from Dr. Charles Best Secondary in Coquitlam this spring. Men’s soccer coach Dante Zanatta says Carida “is the type of player that I’m looking for in the fact that he is skillful and understands the game and possession, and is technically very good,” he said. “Bringing in these skilled players lets us spend more time on tactics and how to win,” At 5-foot-10, Carida has split time on his club and high school teams as a midfielder, and as a striker

UBCO SOCCER RECRUIT Giovanni Carida lines up his shot on the turf during high school action from earlier this
with a knack for scoring. He was the leading goal scorer in the 2012 Puma Pacific Tournament and has been the leading goal getter as captain of his high school soccer team. Currently featured as a both a centre attacking midfielder and a forward, he’s expected to play the same role for the Heat. “Because of his technical ability, he could play numerous positions,” added Zanatta. “Where he will end up finishing his five years at UBC Okanagan, whether in the midfield or in the attacking striking role, will still be determined, but he is the type of player that when he has the opportunity…he can finish.” Along with his skills and strengths on the field, the incoming freshman “hopes to bring leadership, [a] positive atti-
tude, and contribute to the team’s success,” he said. Carida has put together quite an impressive soccer resume. Along with winning high school championships in 2012 and 2010, he has won two national bronze medals and competes in theS Coquitlam Metro Ford league that coach Zanattac indicates “produces a lotZ of good soccer players,”j and is a “very good sys-p tem.” t “Qualifying for Na-U tionals in 2009 and 2011s were the highlights of my soccer career,” said Carida. “Scoring the game winner in 2009 versus Quebec to send our team to the national semifinals was definitely a significant highlight for me.” Carida is the third re-

Rockets slip in the rankings AquaJets dismantle Losing five of its last seven Western Hockey League games has dropped the Kelowna Rockets out of the top five Canadian Hockey League teams, according to the rankings released by the Canadian Hockey League this week. The CHL released Wednesday the 22nd edition of the BMO CHL Top 10 Rankings for the 2012-13 regular season and Kelowna dropped three spots, from fifth to sixth, after losing a pair of games to the Kamloops Blazers last weekend.
The Blazers meanwhile moved up one ranking from eighth to seventh while the Portland Winterhawks remain the top ranked team in the CHL with a 48-9-1-2 record. The Rockets wrapped up a busy part of its schedule last weekend, finishing a stretch where they played three games in three nights four weekends in a row. “We’ve come through a challenging stretch with lots of games in a short period,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “It’s a mental challenge for the
players now. I think the experience they’ve gained having come through this stretch will make them better and make our team better in the long run.” The Rockets are in Victoria for road games Friday and Saturday before the team returns to Kelowna Feb. 28 to host Seattle. At 42-15-3-1 they still lead the WHL BC Division by three points over Kamloops, which has a 40-15-2-3 record. Kamloops played Portland on Wednesday night but results were un-
available as of the Capital New press deadline. Here are the weekly rankings of the Canadian Hockey League’s Top 10 teams are selected by a panel of National Hockey League scouts.

team record books Kelowna’s AquaJets saw 13 team records fall this past weekend over the four-day Western Canadian Swim Championships in Saskatoon. Five swimmers represented the AquaJets and competed against 500 of Canada’s best. And they did not disappoint, putting in 100 per cent best times during the event. Katie Dunlop, Cameron Feil, Tia Itterman, Julien Roberts and Josh
Zakala each recorded personal bests in their respective events, a very impressive feat at a competition like the Western Canadians. “The team swam remarkably well throughout the event, taking advantage of their opportunities, handling their emotions well, and showing a lot of character in and out of the pool,” said AquaJets head coach Peter Wilkins. Together a total of 13
club records were broken, six second place medals were claimed and six other swims landed the local competitors in the top 10. That was good enough to place 34th as a small team at a very competitive meet. “We had a young team at this meet with four of our five swimmers eli-

Chilliwack to host BCHL Showcase again this year
The success of last September’s first BCHL Showcase—held in Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre and hosted by the Chilliwack Chiefs—has earned the city and team the right to host the event again in 2013. BCHL commissioner John Grisdale joined Showcase eco-chairman Glen Ringdal, president of the Chiefs, and legendary ehead coach Harvey Smyl gin making the announcel 2
ment at a Prospera Centre Wednesday morning news conference. “The inaugural Showcase surpassed our most optimistic expectations and the response we received from players, coaches and scouts was overwhelmingly positive,” said Grisdale. “Fans, scouts and media are now familiar with the event so it makes perfect sense to bring it back to Prospera Centre in 2013.”
The event will see every BCHL team return to Chilliwack over the weekend of September 6 to 8 playing two games each—games that count toward season points. The 2012 Showcase attracted over 200 scouts from every NHL team and most of the major universities and colleges of US and Canada. At least a half dozen players received offers of University scholarships on the spot

and dozens more offers have followed throughout the season from some of the finest schools in North America. “The BCHL is a developmental league— one that prepares young men for post-secondary education with hockey, or even a professional hockey career,” said Grisdale. “The showcase gives all players in our League a chance to be seen by the top scouts for not only the best schools in North
America, but also from the NHL and other professional leagues.” Grisdale said ticket prices and other information including games schedules will be released at a later date. ••• It appears the BCHL’s West Kelowna Warriors will open the playoffs against the Merritt Centennials. The two teams will meet this weekend in Merritt in the first of three contests before the play-
offs. The Warriors clinched a playoff spot last weekend and sit in third place entering the weekend while the Cents are in second. If the playoffs were to start this weekend, the two teams would meet with Merritt having the home ice advantage.

Roberts swam all the Butterfly races—the 50m (38th), 100m (25th) and the 200m where he placed first in the B final in the Youth category and eleventh overall. This race was a new club record for Roberts, breaking a 2005 record held by Thomas D’Ovidio. Feil swam the 50m breaststroke (24th) 50m freestyle (20th) and 100m free (26th).

CHIEF TOMAT Elementary School Grade 2 students Dominick McLean and Makayla Kennedy dance between a line of their classmates Wednesday morning at the school’s fifth annual dance assembly.
Chief Tomat students put on their dancing shoes Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Students of Chief Tomat Elementary School proved they could dance to everything from Footloose to Gangnam Style Wednesday at the
fifth annual Dance Celebration Assembly. Students of every grade put on uniquely choreographed performances for parents, teachers and other students in the audience. Kim Dennis, organizer of the assembly, said the idea started a few years ago when students
wanted to show off the moves they had been learning in PE class. “It’s one of our biggest assemblies of the year; it’s a lot of fun for everyone,” said Dennis. She added dance is an important life skill. “It’s very important for kids of all ages to get
up, get moving and be active. Everybody is out and doing something—(it doesn’t) matter if it’s on the beat or not, it’s just a lot of fun. “If they’re at a wedding or when they’re older and they go to high school, hopefully all these kids will feel OK to get up and dance.”
KINDERGARTEN student Hunter Lloyd (clockwise from left) dances to Footloose at the Chief Tomat Elementary School dance assembly Wednesday; Attila Knaitner and Jaxon Gibbings, Grade 5 students, perform their dance routine for the audience; Grade 6 student Katelyn Trudel shows off her dance floor moves.

▼ HEALTH
What really makes us healthy? Kerri Wall CONTRIBUTOR
What do you think of when you hear the term health care? If you are like most people you think of hospitals and clinics where doctors, nurses and other health care providers treat people who are sick. Health care is not just about treating the sick its about promoting and supporting those things that keep us well. For many years there has been an ‘individual lifestyle choices’ approach to health promotion. We have all heard the messages about eating healthy and getting regular exercise, yet changes don’t happen easily. It’s time we took a closer look at how truly difficult it can be to do these seemingly simple things. For example, being able to make the choice to eat healthy depends on
knowing what healthy eating is, the availability of healthy food where one lives, having enough money to purchase healthy foods, and the ability and time to prepare healthy meals. When all these factors are taken into account the modest directive to eat healthy becomes quite complex. What if I live in a community where fresh produce is not always available or affordable? What if I am a single parent working two jobs and I depend on processed convenience foods to feed my family? Research tells us that people who have more money and education are generally much healthier than less educated people or those struggling with poverty. The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, play, and age; they affect the health of us all.
▼ HUNTING
Wildlife Act amended to encourage new hunter recruitment Hunting just became more accessible to both youth and first-time hunters with regulatory amendments to the Wildlife Act confirmed this week by Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson at the Oceola Fish & Game Club annual banquet. The amendments benefit resident hunters through an expanded Youth Hunting Licence and a new Initiation Hunting Licence, both of which will be effective for the 2013-14 hunting season. The changes to the Youth Hunting Licence now make it available for youth aged 10 to 17 years inclusive. Previously, the age range of the Youth (‘junior’) Hunting Licence was 10 to 13 years. This change will make it easier for youth ages 14 to 17 to give hunting a try and to have more mentorship opportunities. The amendments also create a new Initiation Hunting Licence, a mentoring licence that allows a person 18 years or older who has never previously held a hunting licence in B.C. to try hunting for a one-year period. It is a one-time-only licence. Both licence options represent an opportunity for those new to hunting to try the experience with a limited commitment and under the supervision of an experienced mentor. It is anticipated that the new licence options will promote hunting uptake among B.C. residents and provide another opportunity for families to get out and enjoy B.C.’s backcountry. “Hunting will always be an integral part of the social fabric of British Columbia and these changes will help introduce a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts to this tradition,” said Thomson, the MLA for the Kelowna-Mission riding. “The BCWF and our members are pleased to see the implementation of the expanded Youth Hunting Licence and new Initiation Hunting Licence. These changes will provide increased opportunities for youth to try hunting,” said Bill Bosch, president of the B.C. Wildlife Federation.

Be prepared for motorists to cheat right-of-way rules I got a chuckle from one of my favourite ICBC defence lawyers this past week. I like him because he is a true gentleman whose integrity and credibility are beyond reproach. We got to chatting about car crash prevention during a break at an examination for discovery. My chuckle came from advice that Don would like to share with motorists about making left turns at traffic light controlled intersections. He was talking about that classic scenario where the left turning driver pulls into the intersection on a green and waits for a break in on-
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott coming traffic. Put yourself in the place of the left turning driver. You’ve been there countless times. The break in traffic you are waiting for doesn’t come. The light changes from green to yellow. You know that in a couple seconds the light will change from yellow to red, and cross traffic will get the green.
You are anxious to clear the intersection before that happens. Cross traffic will blare their horns if you’re still there when the light changes. Worse, there will be a collision that’s your fault because cross traffic will have right of way. You remember the advice your father gave you: Don’t hesitate. The moment you see the light change to red, you hit the gas to complete your turn and get out of the way. If the oncoming traffic is obeying the law, you will safely clear the intersection. Oncoming traffic faces the same red you do. You have the right to
complete your turn. They are prohibited from entering the intersection. You have the right, under the law, to expect other motorists to be law abiding. If an oncoming motorist is not obeying the law, however, you will be broadsided by thousands of pounds of oncoming steel. Perhaps your father’s advice should be followed in other driving circumstances. For example, it is best not to hesitate before slamming on the brakes to avoid running over a child who has stepped off the curb in front of you. In the left turn scenario I’ve given you, though,
Don would encourage you to hesitate. What do you think will happen if you are still sitting there when the light goes green for cross traffic? Is the lead vehicle likely to leap out of the starting gates and smash into you? Sticks and stones, and being broadsided by an errant motorist, will break your bones, but an impatient honker won’t hurt you. Don goes so far as to say that you could stop and have lunch. That’s what gave me the chuckle. However ridiculous it sounds, he’s right. I’d prefer that you stop, pull out a sandwich, and eat it
rather than automatically hit the gas on seeing the red light. Relax. Take a deep breath. Wait until you see stopped vehicles in each of the oncoming lanes before you proceed. If there’s an oncoming lane without a stopped vehicle, slowly edge forward until you can see down the lane enough to ensure that an oncoming red-light-blower isn’t going to fly out of there and hit you. Don’t worry about the cross traffic. You have the right-of-way under section 127(1)(a)(iii) of the Motor Vehicle Act. Cross traffic has to yield the right-of-way because your vehicle was
lawfully in the intersection at the time the light for cross traffic changed to green. Even though the redlight-blowing motorist is the one technically at fault in a left turn crash, every one of those crashes would be avoided if the left turning driver stopped to eat his or her lunch. 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.
