Students to make a stand for peace Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
In response to the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and Beirut, UBC Okanagan students will gather today to both mourn lives lost and
discuss a brighter path forward. The decision to hold a ceremony to mark the recent violence was made when Ryan Kaila reached out through the university’s network of cultural groups, and
asked, “What should we do?” From the feedback gathered, it was decided to take a stand, have a moment of silence and spread more awareness among their peers about what’s happening in their
respective communities. “As students we are ministers of peace,” said Kaila, vice-president finance and operations of the students’ union at UBC Okanagan. “It is our duty to show our support and pay our
respect to all those who are affected by these acts of terror.” Representatives from UBC Okanagan’s Muslim, European, African, Caribbean, Asian and

Tradition of Irish dancing celebrated
Photos by Kathy Michaels
The Delta Grand Hotel played host to the Western Canadian Oireachtas last weekend, an Irish dancing competition where dancers from across Western Canada competed to qualify for the North American Irish Dancing championships, and beyond that the world finals. Among the 650 dancers in the event, ranging in age from six to 25, were Courtenay Quesnel (above left), of Calgary, 17, and Anna Markus, 16, of Vancouver. A 15-dancer contingent from the Blakey Okanagan Dance Studio, located in Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton were also among the participants. For the girl dancers, the costumes have evolved over time to facilitate an elevated sense of the dancers floating on air while sporting colourful designs, while the wigs replaced the desire for the dancer’s hair to be in ringlets which started in the 1960s to do away with the need for hair curlers.
Kelowna council split on ALR exclusion request Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
They voted twice—to support it and reject it—and both times Kelowna city councillors were unable to pass a motion on whether or not to support a bid by a local farming couple to have their land excluded from the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve. Gabriel and Linda Coupal, clearly frustrated by the development they have seen over the years around their Munson Road farm, want the land taken out of the ALR because they say as a farm, its value has dropped because of commercial operations next door, the development of a school nearby, the location of an office building on the other side
of the property, development of a subdivision across the street and increased traffic on area roads. But council found itself evenly split on the issue with its first vote, a motion to go against a staff recommendation not to support the Coupal’s bid and instead call for the land to be released. The tied 4-4 vote meant the motion was defeated and a second motion, to go with the staff recommendation and refuse to support the bid, also failed. It resulted in the same deadlocked result. So in the end, while council did pass a motion urging the ALC to find a solution to the Coupal’s problem, the city will forward the issue onto the commission with no recommendation.
The final decision on land exemptions from the ALR rests with the commission but it likes to see a recommendation from the municipality in which the land is located. “Essentially our property remains as it was when I started farming it,” Gabriel Coupal told council Monday. “Everything else has changed and we have had to adapt to those changes as opposed to them adapting to us.” City staff had recommended council not support the Coupal’s bid to have their six-hectare farm taken out of the ALR, citing both the city’s desire to keep the area off Benvoulin Road rural and protected as farm land and the ALC’s previously stated stance that the land was arable and it would not support future applications
to take any more land in the area out of the ALR. The Coupals have operated a u-pick strawberry operation on the farm for several years. Leading the charge to support removal was Coun. Charlie Hodge, who said it was rare for him to support the removal of any land from the ALR but in this case it was justified. “This piece of property has no future in farming,” Hodge told council. His position was supported by fellow councillor, Mohini Singh, who ironically works for the ministry of agriculture, Brad Seiben and acting mayor Maxine DeHart. But Couns. Luke Stake, Tracy Gray, Ryan Donn and Gail Given disagreed. Stack said pulling the farm out of
the ALR would be “shortsighted” and would result in many other area farmers “lining up at the application desk” to try and remove their land from the ALR. And, he added, it would change what the city wants to see in the Benvoulin corridor. So, after Hodge’s bid to have council support the Coupals request to the ALC failed, council voted on the staff recommendation to not support the request. But, by the same result, that motion was also defeated with the same councillors who voted to support the Coupals voting against the second motion and those who voted against the first motion voting in favour of non-support.

support the WildSafe program, operated by the BC Conservation Foundation with public education being one of its key components. “At farmers’ markets there will be booths set up, and there will probably be a garbage tagging program similar to what we did in the fall,” Calder explained. “That’s going to survey the compliance of the bylaw and finding where people are putting out attractants (for bears). “Then you target those people with an educational message, and begin to bring those numbers down.” The program will also involve school presentations, social media, and door-todoor canvassing, which will be done largely by volunteers. “We’ll have true programs that have been tested, and we’ll really be able to make some headway,” Calder said, to reduce the interactions between residents and bears. Although it will take some time before the program gets underway, Calder is ecstatic that he can tell people they will have an official program next year. With 222 bear sightings in West Kelowna this year, the intent of the program is to change the behaviours of people and to reduce the number of attractants in neighbourhoods. However, while bears will be a large focus of the program, Calder noted it will also include other large wildlife such as cougars, deer and coyotes. Calder added he was very happy to see West Kelowna CAO Jim Zaffino spearhead the initiative to get the WildSafe program in West Kelowna, and is excited now by interest being shown from Peachland and Westbank First Nation to adopt the program as well. In time, Calder is hopeful the entire west side of the lake will be taking a regional approach to bear and wildlife safety.

news _____________________________________________________________________ DRUG POSSESSION TRIAL
Judge says drug dealer’s story lacked credibility Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
A West Kelowna woman who was caught with nearly $1 million worth of the drug commonly known as bathsalts was found guilty Friday of importation. Nicole Hubek, 32, was arrested in September 2013 after she picked
a provincial court judge that she picked up the packages for a friend, and had no idea they were filled with drugs until her arrest. Judge Ellen Burdett, however, said that story lacked credibility. “She was aware that the substance was Methylone and it was possessed for the purpose
up a three packages that arrived from China to a local post office box. The packages contained 15 grams of the amphetaminelike drug, which once processed, would have street value of nearly $1 million, according to the Mounties. Hubek pleaded not guilty to the crime, telling
of trafficking,” said Burdett. Working against Hubek’s unwitting-pawn defence was her own note-keeping abilities. Relating to the mail pick-up, Burdett said she kept where she wrote down times she picked up packages and the money she was paid for the task. There were several notations in the calendar, with one of most notable
offering a $1,390 payout. “These are not the activities of someone who picks up mail from time to time for a friend,” said Burdett. Hubek also detailed her footing in the drug trade. She had two daytimers detailing drug transactions, and these “score sheets” detailed sales of meth, cocaine and other similar drugs at the ounce level.
Hubek said it was a boyfriend who she was detailing the transactions for, not herself. That was a notion that Burdett also rejected. Finally, the idea Hubek didn’t know she had drugs in her possession until her arrest was discredited by the evidence found in the home outside of which she was arrested. Bags containing the
drug as well as a police issue ink that opens and disperses upon being tampered with, were submerged in a bathtub, which Burdett said was “physical evidence that flies in the face of” the notion she hadn’t opened the packages. Geri-Lyn Reid was arrested alongside Hubek, but released and never charged. Hubek will be sentenced next year.

The cost of parking in City of Kelowna parking lots is going up. In its ongoing bid to encourage use of public transit, the city says it’s following the lead of an increase to transit fares earlier this year by hiking the cost of parking in city lots for the day to $6
from $5 to keep it slightly more expensive than a two-way bus ride. Single journey bus rides now cost $2.50 each. In addition, monthly rates in city lots are going up to between $62 and $77 from between the current $53 and $66, an average of $8 less than in private lots says the city. Reserved parking in city-owned lots will jump
to $116 from $99 a month now. The cost of parking at a street-side meter in the city ($1.25 per hour) is not being raised, nor is the hourly rate of $1 per hour at city-owned lots. The city is also decreasing the break it gives drivers with tickets who pay early. While the base rate of $30 won’t change for

fines such as parking at an expired meter or offstreet parking without a pass, the “early” payment option of paying just $10 within the first 14 days will now jump to $20 if paid in the first 14 days. The late payment charge will remain at $35 for all three offences. For parking outside at metered space or parking in the same block for more than two hours, the fines will jump to $20 from $10. If paid within the first 14 days, drivers will get a $5 reduction now instead of the $15 reduction they used to get. The late charge for both offences is also going up, to $25 from $15. While the city wants to encourage use of public transit and to create more turn over of spaces, especially in commercial areas, it also says the new parking rates will help pay for improved parking facilities. In a report to council, city staff said it costs $34,402 per stall to build new parkades and another $311 per stall per month to maintain them. So it says it needs to recover at least $122 per stall per month to cover its costs.

news _____________________________________________________________________ GHOST BIKE MEMORIAL
The Kelowna Area Cycling Coalition has placed what it calls a Ghost Bike memorial in remembrance of Imre (James) Nagy who was killed while cycling when he collided with a vehicle Sept. 25, 2015, on Belgo Road.
The bike is set up next to a street sign at the corner of Springfield and Belgo, intended to be a reminder that when vehicles and cyclists come in contact with each other, it’s often the cyclist who pays the price for a mistake made either by
the driver or the cyclist. The memorial was created working with the City of Kelowna transportation department to comply with roadside memorial bylaws and to be aware of the coalition’s intent. It is the KACC’s hope
the Ghost Bike will raise awareness of the need to make the city’s streets safer for everyone to use. For more information about the Kelowna Area Cycling Coalition, check out the website kelownacycling.org.

SALVATION ARMY
Registration underway for food and toy program With Christmas only five weeks away, The Salvation Army is booking appointments for those requiring assistance from their annual Food and Toy Program. In 2014, 500 families were provided with food to celebrate on Christmas Day, as well as toys/ gifts for each child in the home 18 years of age and under. “We could not provide this blessing without the tremendous support of the community,” said pastor Darryl Burry, executive director for The Salvation Army in the Central Okanagan. “From financial donations to the donation of food product and new toys, each contribution helps us to provide hope and dignity to families’ right here in our community during the Christmas season.” For families (two or more in the same household) who will require assistance this Christmas season, The Salvation Army is currently scheduling appointments between now and Nov. 27 at the Community Life Centre, located at 200 Rutland Rd. South. “We desire to ensure that no one falls through the cracks during this special season of love and giving, however, in order to meet the demands placed upon us, we would respectfully ask that all families set up an appointment to register as soon as possible,” said Burry. To book a registration interview, please call 250-765-3450 and press option 4 ••• The Salvation Army Christmas Kettle campaign will start ringing at the Walmart stores on Thursday in West Kelowna and Friday in Kelowna. Last Christmas, The
Salvation Army in the Central Okanagan distributed more than 500 Christmas food hampers and brought toy joy to 900 children through the toy program. This is in addition to the regular assistance given each and every day through their Community Life Centre office. “Each year, the needs just seem to grow” said pastor Darryl Burry, executive director for The Salvation Army in the Central Okanagan.
“There are a lot of hurting people in our community—people who struggle financially to make it through the day —wondering if they will pay their rent/mortgage, or put food on the table for their family. “These are very real concerns for many families right here in the Central Okanagan.” The Salvation Army’s year-round assistance to families of emergency food, clothing, furniture and other provisions
continues to rise. “The needs are great, and we do not see any sign of it slowing down in the near future,”said Burry. “The funds that are raised during our Christmas Kettle Campaign allow us to continue to support our local community at Christmas and throughout the year.” In addition this year The Salvation Army supported the Okanagan communities and firefighting teams that

were impacted by the fires making the need that much greater. All donations collected through the Christmas campaign stay local to support local programs. The kettle campaigns success is dependent on the army of volunteers that rock and ring the bells, taking a twohour shift from Nov. 20 through Dec. 24 at business locations throughout Kelowna and West Kelowna. Burry says for some
the kettle campaign has become a holiday tradition, for others a challenge. But with 5,000 kettle hours to fill, Burry says this is a perfect opportunity to give hope

Opinion OUR VIEW
Peace is always the right course It was with great sadness that we learned of the violence and death that was wrought on the people of Paris last week. We were appalled by the acts, angry at the perpetrators and bewildered at the motivations. Mostly, there is sadness. Sadness at the murder of the innocent, the most unjustifiable of crimes. But sadness, too, at this assault on peace. Were France’s streets safe, or was it an illusion? If safety was an illusion there, then is it an illusion in other places, like Canada? If we are not safe, should we be scared? And if we are scared, does that mean that the terrorists win? The problem is, it’s not as simple as winning and losing, or good versus evil, or us versus them. And though we must not allow terror to triumph, the threat is scattered and unidentifiable. It’s tempting to seek vengeance, but where do we go and what can we hope to accomplish there? The shootings and the bombings that terrorized Paris last week do not signal that the world is spiraling toward war, violence and death, because it isn’t. Rather, humanity continues to evolve toward a more peaceful existence. It’s hard to believe in times like these, but it’s happening, though slowly, too slowly. Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” Peace must be not only our hope, but our guiding principle. It must be so. World peace depends on it. —Campbell River Mirror

Terrorists strike at our humanitarianism Former U.S. president Franklin D City Roosevelt once said Confidential the only thing we have to fear is fear ALISTAIR itself. WATERS He was talking about the Second World War. But his words are just as appropriate today in light of the latest international acts of terrorism, first in Lebanon last Thursday when 43 civilians were killed in downtown Beirut in two bombings, and in Paris on Friday, when 129 civilians were killed in a series of bombings and shootings at a soccer stadium, three bars and a concert hall that left another nearly 400 injured, some critically. While the Beirut bombings garnered little international attention—likely because we in the West (so wrongly) expect “that type of thing” to happen there—the Paris attacks hit a nerve akin to the reaction after the attacks on New York’s World Trade Centre towers and Washington’s Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001 and on London’s transit system on July 7, 2005. The U.S. attacks changed forever many aspects of life as we knew it in the West, not the least of which is how we travel and security levels in our everyday lives for everything from sports events to rock concerts. What happened in Paris was another example of terrorists targeting everyday people doing everyday things in a bid to instill fear. And it likely worked—for some. Within a few days of the carnage in the French capital, I was asked if it would change my feelings about Canada’s plan to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees into this country this year.

It doesn’t. And it shouldn’t. We, Canadians, should do it because it’s the right thing to do. After all, those most directly affected by terrorism, after the victims who die and are injured in such senseless and barbaric acts of violence, are the refugees forced to flee their homes, cities towns and countries because of what’s happening there. But the fact the question was asked says something about the impact a terrorist attack thousands of miles from Kelowna has had even here. While the fear of refugees is unfounded—terrorists could be among any group of immigrants to this country—even those from so-called “friendly” Western countries—the fact some feel the need to ask the question is telling. Canada should be able to do the right humanitarian thing and take refugees who need a safe home, and protect its residents at the same time. The two do not have to be mutually exclusive. As for the murders in Beirut and Paris—for that’s what they were, murders—they should be condemned without hesitation in the strongest possible terms. And so should any other acts of terrorism anywhere in the world. Targets like New York, London and Paris may be chosen for the seeds of fear they undoubtedly sow in the hearts of those of us not used to living with war. But to give into that fear, and to give up our humanity in the process, would be to capitulate to those who want us to live in fear. And that, in itself, would be a disservice to all those who died in New York, London, Paris, Beirut and all the other cities where terrorists strike.

Veterans don’t hide from REMEMBRANCE DAY elements when they serve Clergy could not resist captive audience To the editor: I watched the evening news on Wednesday 11th November detailing the various Remembrance Day events around the Okanagan. The Royal Le Page Place event got excellent coverage (mainly because the Premier was there). Another West Kelowna event received no coverage at all. There has always been “another” ceremony in West Kelowna that is ignored by ‘officialdom.’ When the main West Kelowna ceremony was moved inside, many decided that they would still honour the fallen in the open air at the original cenotaph outside the Lions Hall on Main Street. Each year the number of people attending this event has increased. Despite emails to the Mayor and Council, we have not had representation from them.
The City of West Kelowna covers a large area and, as was demonstrated by the attendance at Royal Le Page Place, could easily support two ceremonies. The City, Legion, Police, Military and others could provide representatives to both events. Our soldiers could not escape the trenches or the jungle in a dry modern building. They did not fight in heated halls, lie on dry floors or shelter from the desert sun under a fixed roof. The short time that we brave the elements on Remembrance Day is a small price to pay in order that we can honour their sacrifice. To have two ‘officialdom’ supported and advertized locations would allow people to have a choice, where they pay their respects.
Heather Yeats, West Kelowna
So many for Legion to thank To the editor: To all the volunteers who helped the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Campaign to another successful year, a well-earned bouquet. A large bric-bat to those who stole business trays depriving needy veterans and their families. Volunteers helped in many ways. There were those who canvassed and were exposed to the public and there were those behind the scenes who assisted in other ways such as dropping off trays to businesses; purchasing wreaths; soliciting business donations; speaking at schools; delivering and picking up wreaths to and from the cenotaph; bagging poppies; counting proceeds; preparing and serving meals on Remembrance Day; those manning the office; and many more volunteers doing various tasks that escape my memory. Our appreciation to the businesses that
Trudeau fails
To the editor: I give PM Trudeau a failing grade on four subjects. Firstly, he was arrogant in advising President Obama that he would be pulling our F18 fighters out of the conflict in Syria without going through Parliament. Secondly, he was foolish is promising that half of his cabinet would be women even before the election results came in. What if only 15 Liberal women were elected? They would all be members of the cabinet. As it were, there were 50 female Liberals elected leaving 133 males plus Mr. Trudeau elected. Of the 133 males elected 15 made it into cabinet. Does anyone really believe that there are not some of the 118 male members who did not make it into cabinet more qualified than some of the 15 females who did make it into cabinet? We Canadians got short-changed due to a foolish pre-election promise. Thirdly, the jury is still out on whether or not we will get 25,000 Syrian refugees into Canada by the end of the year. If we do it will be at the cost of relaxing security checks and increased financial costs due to rushing the process just to keep a foolish promise. Finally, I am watching the Toronto Stock Exchange. On Oct. 19, the day of the election. the TSX closed at 13,758, On Nov. 13 as I write this letter the TSX is 13,084. I think the market is telling us something. Laird Stovel, Kelowna
displayed our business trays and silently solicited for us. Thanks to the media for their help in advertising our campaign. I especially want to thank the young men and women of the Army and Air Cadets and their officers for the number of hours they donated to canvassing and assisting at the cenotaph. And how can I forget the young mother and her two daughters who saw me struggling with loading empty wreath boxes onto the truck at the cenotaph and came to my assistance. Thank you Kelowna, for your generosity and assistance in making this another successful year in our fundraising campaign. John Broughton, Poppy office manager, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 26

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen
To the editor: As my husband and I attended the Remembrance Day ceremony in Westbank, we were pleased to have our teenage of the Central and South grandson decide, by choice, to join us. Okanagan / Similkameen We have attended most, if not all, of the ceremonies over the past many years as both our fathers were veterans of WW II and we were painfully aware of all they had to endure for us to enjoy the freedoms we have here in Canada today. CORRECTION NOTICE So it was very disappointing to have this moment, meant to honour these brave The Toyota BC Dealer ad that ran soldiers, hijacked by religious proselytizing. in the Kelowna Capital News on A pastor was the speaker for the ceremony November 13 featured an image and chose to utilize this time with his captive audience to go into much detail about how of the Toyota Tacoma incorrectly his deity has been instrumental in protecting with the 2016 Toyota Tundra our freedoms and advocating for peace (in price and offers. Our apologies spite of the many contradictions that this for any inconvenience this may entity supports peace). The fact that this speaker chose to carry have caused. his speech well past the 11 o’clock time that we had hoped to have our moment of silence to honour our vets, was nothing short of disrespectful. Furnace Service from $95.00 NOV. EXPIRES 30 2015 I sincerely hope we will live to see the day when religion of any sort is removed from such ceremonies.

SYRIAN REFUGEES
House homeless here first To the editor: Two letters to the editor appeared in the Capital News November 11, 2015. One by Sharon Shepherd, (Homelessness Not On Kelowna’s Agenda) former Kelowna mayor, states regarding homelessness: “So what has happened, the four corner strategy is no longer in place, the coordinator position regarding homelessness is no longer in place, the community court is no longer in place and Homeless Awareness week is no longer a priority.” John Hannah, (Homeless in the Streets but Canada’s Bringing in Refugees) states what is on everyone’s mind regarding the refugee problem. How can we in all consciousness offer all this assistance to the Syrian refugees when we have thousands of our own across Canada, forced to sleep on the streets and begging for food? Seniors, who were once also immigrants, have stated they received loans for boat fares, food, accommodation and clothing which they were expected to pay back. In addition many were sponsored by Canadian citizens, who had to be able to prove that they would assist them in finding living accommodations, food and work possibilities etc. Should we not take care of our own
homeless Canadian citizens first? Are they not just as important as other country’s refugees? Paul Pierron, Kelowna

You might call it the opposite of the last spike. Decades after rail tracks were laid, connecting Okanagan communities by railway, work has begun to remove the rails along the old CN Rail corridor between Kelowna and Coldstream. CN Rail has begun the process of removing the rails and ties and performing environmental remediation work along what is now being called the Okanagan Corridor, in a process that will
and the North Okanagan Regional District purchased the corridor from CN for $22 million and are planning to turn it into a continuous trail as a first step. They have formed a development team to plan for the future of the corridor. At this time, the OKIB is not taking part in the development team the municipalities have put together, despite the fact a two-kilometre stretch near Duck Lake is owned by the native band and a larger stretch passes through OKIB
take more than a year to complete. Crews worked on the weekend, lifting rails near McCurdy and along Dilworth in Kelowna while rail ties will be removed at a later date. It’s expected to take much of 2016 and into early 2017 before the final remediation work is done on the corridor, a 47-kilometre stretch from Kelowna to Lake Country, through Okanagan Indian Band (OKIB) traditional territory, and ending at the shores of Vernon, in Coldstream.

UBCO research study shows dietary fats form dangerous alliances in diabetes war UBC Okanagan researchers say their study reveals that certain fats consumed in excessively high levels contribute to sedentary behaviour and a predisposition to insulin resistance, similar to that observed in Type 2 diabetes. “We tend to think there’s an inherent, fixed capacity of each human or animal to exercise, but that may not be true,” said Sanjoy Ghosh, a researcher and assistant professor of biology in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. “The factors motivating physical activity can actually be influenced by our diet.” Ghosh’s lab, aptly named the Dietary Interventions and Better Exercise through Experimental
Science Centre, studies the detriments of polyunsaturated fats (PUFA)—a cheap, go-to fat in massproduced consumer products. “Today, the amount of polyunsaturated fats in our world may be one of the leading causes of why we are so lazy,” said Ghosh. This research was made possible thanks to funding from the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Michael Smith Foundation (Scholar), and the Dairy Farmers of Canada. “While we have long understood the role of excess calories in the development of obesity and in turn the risk for diabetes, Ghosh’s work suggests the impact of some foods may not be that simple,” said Dr.
Jan Hux, chief science officer with the Canadian Diabetes Association. “Based on our research we strongly recommend that particular attention be paid to controlling dietary fatty acid levels while planning lifestyle interventions to reduce sedentary behaviour and insulin resistance in susceptible populations,” added Gosh. “It’s a cholesterol-centric world. For a long time we measured cholesterol as a biomarker for everything. “Maybe people should start measuring exercise, voluntary physical activity, inflammation, and other things, and really look at how unsaturated fats influence health.”

The Carma Project in Kelowna handed the keys over for two donated and repaired vehicles to a pair of single moms on Monday. Lena Jung and her 15-month-old daughter Penelope were the recipients of a 1996 Chevrolet Lumina, while Kalista Copes and her two-year-old son Davian will be able to drive in a 1999 Toyota Rav 4. The Carma Project, founded locally by Integra Tire Kelowna owners Bruce Stranaghan and his wife Penny, have now donated nine vehicles to people in need along with repairing another four cars. The Stranaghans started the project in 2010, giving away the first vehicle in 2011. The program is supported by a number of local businesses, the donors of the cars as well as the mechanics at Integra who fix up the vehicles. “We are extremely grateful for the media’s support in our project and hope there is continued interest to publicize the project,” said Penny Stranaghan. “We receive many applications, so the need to supply transportation to those in need is great.” The latest beneficiaries of the Carma Project are both members of the non-profit Mamas for Mamas organization in Kelowna. Mamas for Mamas connects mothers with other mothers in their home communities to provide them with things they need at no cost through donating, trading and distributing items from local partners when possible. The program was founded in Kelowna last year as an attempt to break the cycle of poverty for mothers, and now claims membership of 5,500 in the Okanagan. The organization spans 15 chapters across three provinces. The day for the recipients started at 10:30 a.m. Monday by being treated to a makeover, with their hair styled by Darcie Jillian at Antidote Hair and makeup done by makeup artist Jenny McKinney. The two moms were then driven by Okanagan Limousine to the Integra Tire location at Dilworth and Enterprise where their Carma vehicles were awaiting them. The trunk of each vehicle also included donations from various Carma Project supporters—food basket from Choices Food Markets, a coffee goodie basket from Cherry Hill Coffee, gas certificates from Century 21 realtor Jason Neumann. The presentation was also captured on video by John Thiessen with Engaged Films. The two vehicles were also given a wash and detailing by Bubbles Car Wash. The other sponsor supporter of the project is Bluebird Business Consulting (Frithjof Petscheleit).

Elderly woman thwarts home invasion attempt West Kelowna RCMP say they have a suspect in custody facing multiple charges stemming from a vicious home invasion involving an elderly woman late last month. On Oct. 25 at approximately 2:42 a.m., West Kelowna RCMP responded to a report of a home invasion at a residence in the 2300-block of Butt Road. A masked male suspect had forcibly entered the home through a kitchen window. The victim, an 85-yearold woman, was alone when she heard the suspect enter her home. She called out and was confronted by the suspect in her bedroom. She struggled with her assailant for about 20 minutes, during which time he pulled the phone from the wall and attempted to restrain and gag her, said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey, spokesman for the RCMP in the Central Okanagan. “The victim later fled her residence. She ran across the street to a neighbour where 911 was called,” said O’Donaghey. “She sustained minor
injuries as a result of being attacked and did not require any medical attention at the scene.” The suspect, who demanded pain medications, jewelry and money, later fled with the victim’s wallet, which contained credit cards and $200 in cash. “The ongoing police investigation revealed that the suspect later used the victim’s credit cards at various West Kelowna stores including Superstore, a Tim Hortons, and London Drugs,” said O’Donaghey. He said after police reviewed video surveillance footage at the businesses, they identified a 24-year-old West Kelowna man as a suspect. On Oct. 26, shortly before 9 p.m., the man was arrested outside his home and taken into police custody without incident. Several items belonging to the victim were found in the home. Benjamin Duane Barnhart has been formally charged with break and enter, committing an indictable
offence with his face masked, forcible

Shopping for an assisted living facility
Consider the arrangements and services offered. Some facilities offer single rooms, while others provide apartment-style living. Most assisted living facilities provide a variety of services, such as housekeeping, laundry, exercise and wellness classes, and social activities, for their residents. Investigate the offerings at each home you visit, looking for a facility that best suits your loved one’s needs.
Aging and Driving
Get routine vision and hearing checks. These examinations will help to determine your fitness to be on the road and shed light on any issues that need to be addressed. Those who wear contact lenses or glasses may need to update their prescriptions.

Tips for Grandparents helping to raise children

Tired of Pain?
Acupuncture can help! We’re experts in treating: • arthritis • back pain • hip pain • shoulder pain • insomnia • and much more!
Get the right equipment. Children certainly require a lot of gear, more than grandparents likely used when raising their own children. Certain safety requirements are in place to safeguard young children, and that often means investing in new cribs, car seats, high chairs, and other items. Grandparents should resist the temptation to use old items they may have kept in storage, as such items may no longer be safe and could put grandchildren at risk for injury.
Home Remedies for Joint Pain
Exercise more. Regular movement helps to maintain flexibility in the body’s joints. Those with joint pain may shy away from exercise, but they could be doing themselves a disservice. Low-impact exercises, like swimming and water aerobics, can work out muscles and joints without adding extra stress. Walking can replace jogging or running, and yoga and pilates may be just the thing for deep stretching.

Care unit for mental health illness reaches milestone Interior Health’s Adolescent Psychiatric Unit celebrates a significant milestone this week. The specialized unit, located at Kelowna General Hospital, has provided care for youth with mental health illnesses since its creation 10 years ago. The eight-bed unit serves youth aged 12 to 17 from throughout the Interior. Over the past decade, the APU has provided a safe place to more than 750 adolescents, with an average length of stay of between 17 to 25 days. In B.C., about one in seven youth will have some form of mental disorder at any given time. About 70 per cent of mental disorders surface before the age of 18. The majority of admissions to the APU are for depression, anxiety with difficulty coping, and psychosis treatment. “I’d like to thank the staff members and physicians who’ve worked hard to create this truly amazing unit for the Interior,” said Interior Health board chair Erwin Malzer. “A specialized unit like this takes an entire team of committed and passionate individuals to be successful and this milestone is a reflection of that innovative work.” The regional unit is designed to be youth and
family friendly. The light-filled bedrooms have views of Okanagan Lake and there are activities including outings, crafts, video games, books, basketball, and foosball. The space also includes a classroom, where a teacher and support worker help youth continue their school studies. There are family meeting rooms, a secure quiet room, and an enclosed outdoor patio. “Today is an exciting day, a chance to celebrate a unique program in Interior Health that provides quality care to our youth and families,” said APU manager Colleen McEwan. “I would like to thank all the APU staff and physicians who have been involved for the past decade as well as all the clinicians with child and youth mental health and regional psychiatrists, pediatricians and family physicians that provide the ongoing care for these youth in their home communities.” At the APU, child psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers, registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses and youth care counsellors all work collaboratively to support positive mental health for their patients. They also lead group activities where youth
can learn more about their emotions, positive
coping techniques, and communication skills.

Psychiatric Unit (http:// tiny.cc/pwxb6x).

Central Okanagan School District representatives accepting an award on behalf of the district were Marnie Birkeland (centre) and Keely Flannigan. The Central Okanagan district won a $25,000 award for a program that sees teachers collaborating to better serve students.
A program designed to improve engagement between students and teachers in the Central Okanagan has been recognized by the Canadian Education Association as the top program of its kind in Canada.
The Canadian Education Association and Reader’s Digest Canada have recognized three award-winning school districts that are leading system-changing K-12 initiatives, including the Central Okanagan, which won a $25,000 award for its first place showing. The award was handed

out Nov. 5 at the CEA’s Canadian Innovators in Education Awards in Quebec City. The Central Okanagan School District program is known as the Instructional Leadership Team (ILT). Comprised of a district principal and six teachers, it was established to improve student learning in all 43 schools. It’s a program based on teamwork where teachers get together to solve problems. The district has seen teacher and student engagement flourish as a result. “I think our district has done an amazing job of building a really collaborative culture,” said Rhonda Ovelson, the director of instruction for the Central Okanagan School District. “When we began this work it was through invitation for some collaboration with coplanning and co-teaching to try different things in the classroom. “It’s grown to where our team is in every school working alongside teachers. In some schools it’s literacy, in some schools it’s numeracy. “It depends on the needs that the teachers, principals and viceprincipals bring forward.” Once an issue is brought to the Instructional Leadership Team, the team meets with the teachers and administrators in the
school to figure out the best way to interact with and teach their students. “It’s a shoulder-toshoulder model where the team is in schools everyday working alongside teachers to find ways of meeting the needs of their students to make sure the learning environment is preparing our kids with the skills they are going to need in the future,” she said. The program began about five years ago in the district and Ovelson said it has a big impact. A comprehensive review of the program a year ago resulted in positive feedback not only from students, but from teachers as well, who became energized at having a team behind them as they headed into the classroom. In presenting the award, the Canadian Education Association stated “…few districts have gone to this length for teachers’ professional learning. It has impacted all of the teaching staff and has led to a dramatic change in how the Kelowna-based school district looks at learning and how professionals work together. The best thing that we can do is to help teachers improve their practice. This is about investing in teachers in a really thoughtful way that has everyone on side.” The $25,000 award will be put back into the program.
A&W backs finding a cure for cystic fibrosis with fundraiser Central Okanagan participating A&W restaurants will host the 8th annual Breath of Life Day, a local fundraiser to help infants, children and young adults with their daily battle against cystic fibrosis. The fundraiser takes place Saturday, Dec. 5, at the Lake Country A&W and the Kelowna A&W on the corner of Leathead Road and Highway 97 in Kelowna. The local A&W franchise owners will donate one dollar for every burger sold and submit 100 per cent of all donations received to Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Cystic fibrosis is the most common, fatal, genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. In the digestive tract, CF blocks the absorption of adequate nutrients from food. In the lungs, in a short period of time, respiratory problems become increasingly severe. Ultimately, most CF deaths are due to loss of lung function. There will be free root beer refills, a visit by the Great Root Bear, kids games and prizes, and a silent auction. This year, the grand prize is a two-day luxury escape at Sparkling Hill Resort. Last year, the grand prize was a new car won by a Kelowna couple, while the campaign raised $50,000.

Sports HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
WHL HOCKEY
Owls vs Mt. Doug in 2nd round Rockets adjust whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
A year ago, the Kelowna Owls were blown out in Victoria by the Mt. Douglas Rams. As far as the 2015 edition of the Owls are concerned, that was then and this is now. On Friday afternoon, a more experienced KSS squad will battle the perennial powerhouse Rams in the quarterfinal round of the B.C. high school football playoffs. Mt. Douglas—the three-time provincial champs from 2011 to 2013—posted a 4-1 record during the regular season. The Owls were a respectable 4-2, suffering their only regular season setbacks to top-seeded teams Terry Fox and St. Thomas More, losing 2713 and 14-7 respectively. While Ben Macauley wasn’t with the Owls for last year’s 57-0 playoff loss to the Rams, the new KSS head coach is confident his team will be far better equipped for the challenge ahead. “Our Grade 12 players who were there last year remember it well and gained some valuable experience from it,” said Macauley, whose club is led by star senior Parker Simson. “That shock value is gone, so our older guys should be able to just go out and play. We’ve had some good games against the top teams, so we feel like we’re in the same ball park and feel like we have a chance to win.” Adding to the challenge for the Owls is having to make the trip to the island for Friday as opposed to B.C. Place where all other quarterfinals will be
played Saturday. Given the option, the Rams chose to play the game a day early on their home turf. “If I was in their position, I probably would have done the same thing,” Macauley said. “We miss two full days of school, we’re going to have a skeleton (coaching) staff, so it’s not ideal. “But we’re hungry, we know we can compete with these teams,” he added. “It’s up to us as coaches to drill home that this is just another group of guys. The (Rams) are used to playing in these big-time games, and it’s up to us to step up and do the same.” The Owls advanced to the quarters thanks to a 27-7 win over the Argyle Pipers in the round of 16 on Saturday in Kelowna. Parker Simson and Adam Diabase threw a pair touchdown passes to each other to account for the scoring. A staunch Owls defence was led by Cole Stregger and Jackson Lawson with seven tackles apiece, while Sean McMechan had six tackles and Matt Blanchard had two sacks. Since the return of football to KSS in 2003, the Owls have never reached the semifinals.

Seth Campbell and the KSS Owls will be in Victoria Friday for B.C. high school football playoff action. 492 of the Bears’ 536 passing yards and seven touchdowns. Dayton Moore caught nine passes for 174 yards and scored four majors, while Spencer Schmidt caught two passes for 63 yards and a major before leaving the game with an injury in the first quarter. Ty Truong caught 10 passes for 106 yards and a TD, as the Bears came up on the short end of a 108-point barrage. “We scored the same number of touchdowns, they just converted their two-point converts and we didn’t,” said Bears coach Mike Godwin. “We really missed a few key
guys on defense.” Nick Kopp and leading tackler Taylor Knoll were both sidelined with injury, while Schmidt’s loss was also a blow to the Boucherie defence. Godwin said it was a season of mixed reviews for the Bears who finished with a 4-6 overall record. “All and all it was an up and down season,” he said. “We had moments of brilliance along with our share of breakdowns. “On a positive note, we were a very young team… most of our starters were Grade 11s, including our entire offensive line. We will miss our graduating players, but we have
some good players coming up from our JV squad next year.”
JUNIOR VARSITY…
The Bears junior varsity squad will be in New Westminster for the second round B.C. quarterfinals on Thursday to face the No. 1 ranked Hyacks. Mt. Boucherie advanced with a 36-34 victory in the round of 24 last week over Notre Dame. Meanwhile, the Rutland Voodoos were eliminated in the opening round last week, losing 42-0 to Seaquam.
Brad Ralph knew injuries would be a factor at some point during the Western Hockey League season. The Kelowna Rockets’ head coach just didn’t count on being without two of his main offensive threats at the 20-game mark. The defending WHL champs are missing arguably two of their top four forwards as centres Rourke Chartier and Dillon Dube are both sidelined with upper body injuries for the next one to two weeks. “When you’re down two centremen, that leaves some significant holes to fill,” said Ralph, who is also without forward Riley Stadel for several weeks due to a hand injury. “You need to call on your wingers to play up the middle, so there are adjustments. But at the same time, we’re fortunate that we have good hockey players on our team who are adaptable.” The Rockets (14-5-10) depth will be tested again Wednesday when they visit one of the WHL’s hottest teams, the Kamloops Blazers, who are, like Kelowna, 8-1-1 in their last 10 games. But the Blazers could be in the same boat with some of their key players also sidelined—captain Matt Needham and Jake Kryski both left the previous game against Prince George with injuries and didn’t return.
Brad Ralph
Still, Ralph is taking nothing for granted heading to Kamloops. “We’re up against a good hockey team,” he said. “We’re going to have to be at our best.” In Kamloops, the Rockets will see former teammate Gage Quinney for the first time since the 20-year-old forward was dealt to the Blazers last month. In 11 games with Kamloops, Quinney has been red hot with eight goals and 17 points. “I’m sure we’ll get Gage Quinney’s best, so we need to play him hard, maybe harder than anyone else on their team,” said Ralph. “Our guys are all friends with Gage, but they can talk to him when the game is over.” The Rockets are back on home ice Friday when they host the Edmonton Oil Kings for the only time this season. Face off at Prospera Place is 7:05 p.m.

Loffler leads T’Birds defence in victory Former KSS Owls’ star Taylor Loffler continues to be a key figure in the UBC Thunderbirds success in the 2015 Canada West football season. The 6-foot-3 safety has been named the conference’s
defensive player of the week for his effort in UBC’s 34-26 win over the Dinos Saturday in the Hardy Cup game. Loffler, who joined the T’Birds this season from Boise State, recorded 11.5 tackles to pace
the UBC defence. It was the Thunderbirds first Canada West title since 1997. In all, Loffler won three Canada West defensive player awards, also earning the honours in weeks 2 and 5 of

Connor Sodergren and the West Kelowna Warriors will visit the Prince George Spruce Kings Wednesday in BCHL action.
BCHL HOCKEY
Warriors in PG tonight After coming up empty in two games over the weekend, the West Kelowna Warriors hope a midweek journey to the north will provide a remedy to their recent slide. The Warriors (12-80-2) will visit the Prince George Spruce Kings Wednesday night in BCHL action. West Kelowna is coming off a 5-3 loss to the Silverbacks Saturday night in Salmon Arm. The Warriors led 3-1 late in the second
period before the ‘Backs rallied back with four unanswered goals for the win. Josh Laframboise scored the decisive goal at 11:52 of the third period. Kylar Hope scored a pair for the Warriors, while Kyle Marino netted the single. On Friday, the Warriors—despite outshooting their opponents 46-22— dropped a 3-1 decision to the red-hot Penticton Vees. The Vees extended
their unbeaten streak to 21 games. Jonathan Desbiens scored the lone goal for the Warriors, who sit third in the Interior Division, seven points behind Salmon Arm and three in front of the Vipers. West Kelowna’s next home action is Friday against the Vernon Vipers. On Saturday, Alberni Valley will pay a visit to Royal LePage Place. Both games face off at 7 p.m.

Finishing off their most gruelling stretch of the KIJHL season, the Kelowna Chiefs gutted out a 2-1 overtime victory over the North Okanagan Knights Sunday in Armstrong. It was the Chiefs’ seventh game in a 10day span and drew praise from Kelowna head coach Jason Tansem. “It was a gutsy effort by our team,” Tansem said. “The (Knights) had nothing to lose and a full tank of gas. Some had vendetta in their games. This team has amazing chemistry and we believe in them.” The win was the fourth for the Chiefs in a sevengame stretch and came at the end of a second consecutive weekend with three games. Chiefs’ game star Brody Dale scored 52 seconds into overtime, tipping a point shot from Ty Dornn past Paul for his second

Chloe Kennedy and Claire Elliott each finished nine points, and Robyn AulinHaynes produced eight points on the night as the Heat won its third straight game. “I thought we showed great composure and great resiliency down the stretch,” said coach Claire Meadows “I think for how early on it is in the season that showed a lot of character on our team’s part.” “Consistency, especially with the start of the game is something to strive towards going into the rest of the season. “But I think if we keep working hard, we have

While not at their very best at times over the weekend, Manuel was pleased with his team’s effort. “We were fully engaged this weekend,” said Manuel, “and that was just the difference maker. “We wore them down and even when we were making errors, we made our play a little bit better when it mattered. That was the difference.” This weekend, the Heat heads to Brandon to take on the Bobcats.
Coming off their first loss of the season a week earlier, the UBC Okanagan rebounded for a sweep of the hometown Calgary Dinos in Canada West women’s volleyball. The third-ranked Heat, now 7-1, downed the Dinos in four sets (2518, 18-25, 25-22, 25-17) Friday in the first meeting of the season between the teams. Megan Festival spearheaded the Heat attack with 20 of her team’s 68 kills. Setter Emily Oxland was on her game with 50 assists. “I liked what I saw from our team tonight, lots of gutsy rallies and hard work,” said Heat head coach Steve Manuel. On Saturday, it was close from start to finish but the Heat needed just three sets to down Calgary (25-23, 25-21, 25-21). Brianna Beamish

Lars Bornemann led the Heat with 20 kills, while rookie Devon Cote came off the bench and swung for nine kills, a new career high for the first year outside hitter. On Saturday, with two senior starters sidelined— outside hitter Jim Bell and libero Jeremy Fostvelt— the Heat took the Dinos to four sets before losing 25-27, 20-25, 25-21, 1925. Leo Schober led the Heat with nine kills, while Kyle Pankratz had eight. Adam Kern earned a game-high 10 blocks for the Heat who couldn’t handle the Dinos’ attack. “(Calgary) scored the ball well both nights and we didn’t really have an answer for some of their guys.” UBCO (1-7) will head to Brandon this weekend for two games with the Bobcats.

Fighting back against tax fraudsters and scammers
How many of you have received a threatening phone call in the past 12 months demanding payment of an amount that you are sure you don’t owe? Statistics show that 90 per cent of people have been targeted by fraudsters and scammers. The RCMP Scams and Frauds website lists all the scams that are currently out there. The frightening reality is that new ones are being invented every day. They include identity theft, debit and credit card fraud, email fraud, telephone scams, charitable donation fraud, lottery winnings fraud, on-line shopping fraud, investments and securities fraud and counterfeit money. It seems that our culture has moved away
Behind The Counter GABRIELE BANKA from the concept of ‘A Day’s Work, A Day’s Pay’ and is more focused on how to get the ‘easy money.’ With respect to the Canada Revenue Agency, there are two scams that are currently a concern—telephone and email scams. In my office, I have received reports that the people on the phone are very aggressive, even so far as threatening people with prison and bodily harm. Unfortunately, many seniors are confronted by those kinds of threats. If you are sure that you
don’t owe any tax, then the call is definitely a scam. You can always call your accountant to make sure that there is no balance owing. If you get one of these calls and you are wondering if it’s genuine, ask for the agent number. Every CRA employee has an agent number. Then once you get the agent number tell them that you will call them back on the CRA general line (1-800-959-8281). If they refuse to give you their agent number, or give you a fictitious one, you can check with someone at the CRA general line. If this person is requesting payment via a credit card, CRA personnel cannot process
credit card payments directly so this is fraud. How do you report this? You can report it to your local RCMP detachment as well as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-4958501. You can also contact you MP or MLA and the Canada Revenue Agency at 1-800-959-8281. Both the RCMP and the
CRA website have a fraud section, so you can learn how to protect yourself. The rule of thumb always is don’t give out any personal information about your finances on the phone. Some CRA collection officers may be pretty aggressive, but by the time you receive a phone call from them, you would have already
received several letters indicating that you have an outstanding balance and told to expect to receive a followup call. If you receive an email demanding payment from CRA, then it is a scam. CRA personnel do not email anyone directly. The only access to receive online mail is through the My Account or My Business Account

Gamblers asked to support annual food bank campaign
The three Lake City Casinos across the Okanagan will conduct their 11th annual collective Christmas donation campaign in support of local food banks. The casinos in Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon will all take part in the campaign from now until Dec.11. “We are very excited to be running the food bank campaign again this year,” said Jerry Pokorny, executive general manager for the Lake City Casinos. “We all know that the holiday season can be tough for many. During this time it is important to remember those less fortunate than ourselves and help out, pitch in and make a difference where we can.” Casino patrons are asked to donate a non-perishable food item for the local
food bank and receive a ballot to enter to win $250. The prize draw will take place on Dec. 12.

Everyone eats comfort food. For many of us it may be traditional or familiar food that we ate in our childhood home. Sometimes we reach for comfort food when we may not even be hungry. That’s because comfort food can make us feel comforted. Comfort foods are often ‘junk food’—quick, easy to eat and typically high in fat or sugar. We often keep eating until we become so full that it hurts. Instead of feeling comforted, we can end up feeling badly about ourselves for eating so much. Then, to manage these feelings, we convince ourselves that we had to eat this food to feel better. It can become an unhealthy cycle. Taking a moment to think about how much comfort food we eat, why we reach for comfort foods and what kind of comfort we seek can help break the cycle. Here are a few tips: Consider keeping a record of why you eat comfort foods. Are you happy and celebrating? Feeling sad or lonely? Are you tired

More than a century and a half ago, the fertile lands adjoining Mission Creek produced crops that sustained the first settlers in Kelowna at the Pandosy Mission. This soil continues to produce vegetable crops that are added to the diet of those in need in our city, thanks to the efforts of members of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul at St. Charles Garnier Parish on Benvoulin Road, adjacent to the Pandosy Mission heritage site.

The society is supported completely by the generous donations of its parishioners. The society is represented in Rutland by St Theresa’s, in north Kelowna at St Pius X, in the city central by Immaculate Conception parish, and on the Westside by Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. By far the largest branch, known as a Conference, are the combined parishes of St Ann’s and St John’s in Penticton—400 hampers in an average month.

Recipients of this bounty of the soil were the food bank at 4,449 pounds, the Gospel Mission at 1,146 pounds, and the St Charles Conference of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul at 113 pounds of vegetables for inclusion in food hampers. Using an estimated retail value of $1.25 per pound, this results in an estimated $7,135 shelf value. The four volunteers contributed a total of 146 hours of labour this season.

The society moved westward to British Columbia where it started in Vancouver in 1912, followed shortly thereafter on Vancouver Island. The society can be found in 150 countries worldwide and more than 800,000 members are proud to be called Vincentians, named after the patron saint of charitable works, Saint Vincent de Paul.

Economy CAREER CITY COLLEGE
Career City College, Kelowna’s newest education institute, has opened at 201-1634 Harvey Ave. (Kelowna Business Centre). The college is owned and operated by Matt Mathai and Satnam Basran. Matt has been in the education industry for many years, teaching at both private and public colleges. He and his wife have owned and operated reputable colleges in the Lower Mainland for the past two decades. Their new college has opened its doors with the idea to help people gain access to affordable and accessible education along with the support required to become gainfully employed. Currently, the college offers accounting, human resources and business programs, along with the Red Seal Electrician IP Exam refresher course. The college is looking into offering health care and medical office assistant programs in the near future. The courses are offered Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Check out the website careercitycollege.ca for more information or call 250-317-2222. After 48 years and
Straight From DeHart MAXINE DEHART nine months working for Safeway, wellknown butcher Don Veitch has retired from Dilworth Safeway, where he has worked since 1990. Don began his career with Safeway in Powell River in 1967 after relocating there from Victoria and being offered the job in both the grocery and meat departments. He and his wife Bev then moved to Kelowna in 1978 where he accepted the position of meat manager in the downtown Safeway store until moving to the Dilworth store in 1990. Don is retiring from his butcher career but will continue to help Bev in her business, Interior Retail Supplies. I asked him if he ever thought he would work to make it to the 50-year mark, and he said while he loved his career, it was just time to retire. The couple are also looking forward to traveling more in their motorhome. Some local trivia. The first radio stations that former Kelowna mayor Walter Gray and Bob Hall started, Walter at the age of 25 and Bob at 35, went on the air 50 years ago today in Salmon Arm. Its companion (satellite) station signed on in Revelstoke the next day. The combo was branded as “The Big R” —First Voice West of the Rockies.” These two stations were the first two commercial radio stations signals you would pick up coming in B.C. from the east after the opening
of the then new Rogers Pass. The combined staff of these two stations was seven people including Bob and Walter. CKXR and CKCR were the very last radio licenses awarded by the BBG (Board of Broadcast Governors). The CRTC was then created at that time and continues today. Walter made the trek back to Kelowna six years later and signed on CKIQ in 1971. IQ is now known as AM1150 News/Talk. Elyse Selig, owner/ operator of the first B.C. franchise of Driving Miss Daisy in the Central Okanagan for the past nine years, is retiring. She has sold her business to Lisa Santos, who has worked as a companion and support person for seniors with dementia and also provided hospice respite for the family of one of her clients. Lisa has a Certified Professional Consultant on Aging (CPCA) designation and is passionate about being part of the community working to improve the quality of life for seniors and those with disabilities and special needs. She is also offering seniors consulting services and retirement lifestyle design. Along with transportation from point A to B, Driving Miss Daisy offers clients assistance with many other services. For more information, visit drivingmissdaisy.ca or call 250-860-3272. Tyson Ralph, the general manager of The Keg Steak House and Bar, contacted me with a wonderful heartfelt story. An anonymous gentleman called him at 10:30 a.m. on Nov.11 and then went to the restaurant and
The Career City College management team includes (from left) Raj Mathew (campus director), Brenda Lemoine (office manager), Lizy Mathai, Matt Mathai, Satnam Basran, Jag Basran (IT director). purchased $3,300 in Keg gift cards. He asked Tyson if he could go to the Remembrance Day service at City Park and give $100 gift cards to the veterans after the ceremony. Tyson and his wife Kylene along with their children Kane and Taila had intended to go to the ceremony so he was ecstatic to be a part of this unbelievable gesture. The gentleman said it was a token of thanks to all the veterans and he hoped that Remembrance Day would mean more to the public than just a holiday or day off. Tyson said that as he gave out the gift cards, the veterans were blown away by the kindness of this stranger. One of the veterans, a woman in her 80s came into the Keg with the gift card later in the week and Tyson was delighted to see her.

Letcher, Kelowna’s very own crime prevention supervisor, on receiving the prestigious Crime Prevention and Community Safety Award. This award recognizes exemplary leadership through developing innovation projects and key activities or initiatives to promote safe communities. Garth was nominated for creating a coalition of partners to support a safer downtown. He brought together
many agencies to develop strategies and implement programs for the betterment of the community, especially in downtown Kelowna. Happy 15th anniversary Carey and Magda Kapp (BrainTrust Canada) on Nov. 25. Kim Grout has been appointed as chief executive officer of the Agricultural Land Commission as of Dec.14. Kim is a registered professional chief administrative
officer, agrologist and a registered professional planner with a bachelor of science degree in agriculture from UBC.

Do you have any old DVDs or do you have DVDs that you don’t know what to do with? Now that there are sites like Netflix, how many DVDs do you purchase? There is a dedicated group of volunteers in our city who collect them, repackage them and distribute them to patients at the Kelowna General Hospital free of charge through one of KGH’s critical nurses. Their mission is for every patient to have a variety of DVDs to choose from during their stay. The reason for doing this is it’s very costly for patients to purchase cable either daily or for extended stays. This initiative will make a patient’s hospital stay a little more comfortable and less costly. I think this is a great idea with very little cost. They would appreciate any DVDs that deal with children’s shows, sports, documentaries, TV series or concerts, but none will be turned away.

Robin Roberts
Certified Carpet Cleaning Technician/Oxy-Dry® System Developer
Q
The last time I had my carpets steam cleaned, a musty, sour odor remained for a few days. Is this normal?
A
An unpleasant odor after steam cleaning is not an unusual complaint. The excessive amount of water that is driven under pressure into the carpet often results in the backing and underpad getting wet. It will also drive the soil and contaminants deep into the backing of the carpet. These contaminants contain organic materials such as skin cells, oils, animal dander and fur. The excessively long dry times allow bacteria to multiply and as this bacteria gasses off, it leaves an unpleasant odor that may persist for a few days. The Oxy-Dry® method uses very little water and our Max-Vac Extraction system removes deep down particulates even extracting dust from the top of the underpad for a true deep clean. Our exclusive Ozone Boost System naturally sanitizes and destroys most malodours on contact leaving you with a naturally fresh and clean carpet! For a deep clean that’s drier than steam, call Oxy-Dry®…your www.oxy-dry.ca 250-860-4595 FRESH choice! OZONE

It was an experience, a communion, for orchestral bass player Alex Nicholl between audience and orchestra “We were playing Britten’s Les Illuminations with tenor Robert Tear, and Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony. The golden light of a summer’s evening shone through the stained glass windows,” Nicholl recalled of his final concert with the Hallé Orchestra in the historic Ely Cathedral, located in London, England, which dates back in history to 1083. “The spaciousness, grandeur, and otherworldliness of the cathedral’s vaulted interior accentuated those same qualities in the music. “It was a communion between audience and orchestra and venue.” For Nicholl, currently the principal bass player for the Symphony of the Kootenays and a freelance musician with Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, his musical journey hasn’t been a linear one. At 11 years of age, he started with the piano.

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers. Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).
to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%. This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

In my practice, I see back, neck, and shoulder pain, lower back and sciatic pain, and post-surgical pain. It’s been there for months to years and many therapies have failed to relieve it because most therapies work best on recent injuries.

The trio of country music performers are in the midst of their Three’s A Party 22-date tour across Canada. CCMA Award winner Jason Blaine has been at the top of the Canadian country music charts on both radio and CMT Canada, with more than a dozen Top 10 singles including the 2012 CCMA Single of the Year “They Don’t Make Em Like That Anymore.” Earlier this summer, Blaine’s single “Country Side” topped the charts as the #1 Canadian song at Country Radio nationally on both BDS and Mediabase charts and marks his sixth #1 song at Canadian radio. Fresh out of the studio with fellow Canuck Phil O’Donnell at the production helm, Blaine has released a new album. Songwriter and threetime CCMA Award nominee Tebey has found success as well with his hits “Now I Do,” earning more than half a million views on YouTube, and his countrified version of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” (featuring Emerson Drive) reaching the Top 5 on Canadian country radio. Rounding out the trio is James Otto, who recently released his latest EP Somewhere Tonight.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang cast: Hannah Friesen (Jemima), Rick Worrall (Caractacus Potts), Laura Benty (Truly Scrumptious), Ryne Van Vliet Brown (Jeremy). most phantasmagorical musical in the history of everything,” Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a classic musical adventure featuring an out-ofthis world car that flies through the air and sails the seas. It tells the story of eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts, who with the help of his children, Jeremy and Jemima, and the everlovely Truly Scrumptious, sets about saving a former Grand Prixwinning race car from the scrap heap. Soon they discover the car has magical properties, including the ability to float and take flight. After word gets out about its extraordinary abilities, trouble ensues when the evil Baron Bomburst decides he wants it all to himself, launching Caractacus, Jeremy, Jemima, and Truly on a series of highflying high jinx to save the miraculous motorcar. Based on the timeless novel by famed James Bond author and creator Ian Fleming, the production features the music and lyrics by the legendary Sherman brothers, composers of
Mary Poppins. Before being turned into a stage musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was a 1968 British musical film, starring Dick Van Dyke as Caractacus Potts and Sally Anne Howes as Truly Scrumptious. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is directed by Angela Lavender, a local actor, director, and teacher who has staged productions across the valley including the young actors project in School District 23. Roslyn Frantz is resident music director with Jennifer Davies as choreographer/stage manager. Rick Worrall (Les Miserables, South Pacific) portrays Caractacus Potts; Laura Benty (Crimes of the Heart; Les Miserables) as Truly Scrumptious; Ryne Van Vliet Brown (Oliver); Hannah Friesen (Oliver); Brandon Shalansky (Jesus Christ Superstar); Delphine Litke (Oliver); Neil Johnson (The Addams Family) and Ray Mordan (Miracle on 34th Street) as Grandpa Potts; Fourteen local youths fill out the production with another 15 adults adding to the marvelous magical characters.
When adapting the show for London’s West End in 2002, producers were faced with the daunting prospect of bringing the indomitable personality of Chitty to life—including seeing the car take flight and set sail —live on stage. Kelowna Actors Studio now faces similar challenges for its production. “Some time ago, I saw the stage musical in New York with a car that flew using hydraulics to lift and tilt it. How will we do it? Well, I’m working with designer Mike Nordlund, who is creating the car from a concept I had for staging the show in an imaginative, new way,” explains KAS artistic managing director Randy Leslie. “We’re very excited to show our audiences, but I’m not giving away any secrets early.” The KAS production technical staff include producer and set designer Randy Leslie; executive producer/projections/ drops Nathan Flavel; set decor, Stacey Baker; master carpenter Casey Easton; sound and mic design Jordan Leboe; properties Tracey Hway; costume Design, Hazel

At the retreat, participants ingested the Peruvian shamanic psychotropic plant-based medicine ayahuasca.

But the desire for a more social and transportable instrument fueled his desire for change. At the age of 15, when a family friend who was on the board of the Calgary Junior Symphony said that the orchestra needed a bass player, Nicholl rented a bass for $15 for the year from the Calgary school board and never looked back. By December 1961, he was rehearsing and performing as part of the National Youth Orchestra of Canada (NYOC). During his years with the NYOC, Nicholl was coached by some of the best double bass instructors in North America, one being Frederick Zimmermann, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra

Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. With his masters completed two years later, Nicholl said he was itching to travel. “So I resigned from VSO, sold my bass and flew to the United Kingdom, where I hoped to find a really fine bass and land a job in an orchestra.” He bought a bass, which he describes as a wonderful Italian instrument made by the Cavallini family of Cremona. “I instantly fell in love with the rich, powerful tone of this bass. It has now been my constant musical companion for almost 45 years.” Nicholl landed a job with Hallé Orchestra of Manchester, England, but after 18 months he found himself homesick and moved back to Vancouver where he rejoined the VSO.

assistant principal bass and an instructor at Juilliard School of Music. “I learned orchestral discipline, which required that you check your ego at the stage door, while encouraging you not to forget to collect it when you left the hall,” Nicholl recalled. “I also learned to respect hierarchy and boundaries in the interest of harmony and unity of purpose within a group of 100 musicians.” Although the NYOC is a training ground for professional musicians, Nicholl never aspired to be a professional musician, rather a history professor. But as he was attending the University of Calgary for his history degree, he also played with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. He moved to Vancouver in the fall of 1967 to pursue his masters in history, but by January 1968 he had successfully auditioned for and joined the

and she became his wife. And so it went until Nicholl returned to England with Kathleen in 1979 to study with a highly respected bass teacher at the Guildhall School of Music in London, Thomas Martin. “In addition to a weekly lesson and the private practising required to prepare for the lesson, I had time to take a wine appreciation course. “I had been bitten by the wine bug and thoughts of being a wine merchant or a vintner vied for supremacy during sporadic career change hot flushes.” The decision was made for him in 1988 when the VSO board declared insolvency for eight months and the players were out of work. “For my wife and I, the crisis was the final nudge that sent us packing to the Okanagan, where we took a 4.5 acre field of grass and turned it into Nichol Vineyard Winery,” said Nicholl. When the Nicholls decided to retire 17 years later, they chose Nelson—a major reason being he knew there was a “music scene” there that he could become involved in. “Now my life has come full circle. Music is my primary focus, and winemaking is a hobby.” With the OSO, Nicholl is among a large cast of extras who are hired as needed from the freelance pool of musicians drawn from the Southern Interior and Lower Mainland. Nicholl’s lifetime in music is personified by a bumper sticker he used to have on his vehicle that read: “Live Music is Best.” “Music has the power to plumb the depths of our psyche and elicit intense emotions that lift us out of the mental detritus of everyday living into a transcendental awareness of our oneness with a larger spiritual reality,” he explained. “If in the course of a live performance, an emotional synergy envelops both performers and audience, feelings of transcendence can be enriched by a powerful sense of community. The concert becomes a form of Eucharist. This is the ideal, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow of possibilities awaiting both performer and audience.”

Build bone strength and prevent falls Osteoporosis is a disorder in which bone density decreases and susceptibility to fracture increases. Bone loss is a part of normal aging, however; with osteoporosis bone mass drops so that the risk of sustaining a fracture is elevated. Osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures are Fitness For a major public Seniors health problem. One in four women over BOBBI MOGER the age of 50 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture. Spine, hip and wrist fractures are the most common. Women can lose up to 15 per cent of their bone mass in the 10 years around menopause. Men also suffer from osteoporosis but this has only recently come to the general public’s attention. It is estimated one in eight men are affected. Some of the factors that can cause an individual to lose bone faster than normal include hormonal and genetic factors, lifestyle factors including physical inactivity and nutrition and the use of some medications. When a senior already has porous, brittle bones due to osteoporosis, focusing on preventing falls is paramount in reducing the risk of fractures as a result of a fall. Some 30 per cent of those over 65 fall at least once per year and half of that number fall recurrently. Once an individual suffers a fall, they may reduce their activity for fear of falling again. Physical inactivity is an understood risk factor for osteoporosis. Even individuals who have led sedentary lives can increase bone mass by becoming more active. Balance and resistance training is the treatment that can improve low bone density and muscle mass which promotes strength gain and improve balance. The better balance one acquires, the more independence and confidence with fewer falls and fractures. BC Women’s Hospital and Health Center has designed a specialized Osteofit fitness program especially for those with osteoporosis, osteopenia (precursor to osteoporosis) and individuals whose goals are to increase bone mass and prevent falls. These classes focus on improving strength, posture, balance and agility through the use of functional exercises, agility and resistance training. Participants can improve their ability to perform activities of daily living including the ability to rise up from chairs, get in and out of bed, go to the toilet without assistance and groom themselves. Other important objectives of this program are to decrease participant’s fear of exercise and promote active living and joy of movement with abilityappropriate exercises, education on exercise safety and opportunities to make new friends.

UBC OKANAGAN
Fall prevention study initiated A UBC Okanagan researcher is looking at ways to help keep elderly residents safe and independent in their later years. One of the key aspects of her research is fall prevention. “Factors such as muscle strength, steadiness, balance, and physical activity contribute to functional independence and I believe it is important to examine how these factors change in male and females as they age,” said UBC associate professor Jennifer Jakobi. “The aim of my research is to help men and women live confidently and independently in their own homes.” Accidental falls account for more than half of the injuries among Canadians aged 65 years and over, and falls are responsible for 40 per cent of admissions to nursing homes, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. The study will investigate early identification of sexspecific changes in the neuromuscular systems that influence functional independence, and specifically how this
Jenn Jakobi’s research into fall prevention for seniors aims to help keep elderly residents safe and independent in their later years. differs between men and women across their lifespan. “Age-related decline is greater in females compared to males,” added Jakobi, who teaches in the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at the Kelowna campus. “Sex-related influences are one of the most important yet understudied factors in loss of functional independence.”
Jakobi was recently awarded a Killam Research Fellowship from UBC The fellowship offers Jakobi a recognized study leave to pursue her research that investigates the underlying contributing factors to older adults falling in later life. The research will measure experiences like walking up the stairs, and functional activities like cooking, to understand the control required of
the nervous and muscular systems. “I am incredibly humbled and honoured to receive a Killam Laureate Award,” said Jakobi. “The UBC Killam Research Fellowship has advanced the proficiencies and technical capabilities of my research, and has facilitated international collaboration with European colleagues.” The UBC Faculty Research Award
recognizes the university’s most promising young scientific researchers, says professor Gordon Binsted, dean of the Faculty of Health and Social Development. “Dr. Jakobi’s novel research will help inform geriatricians and exercise specialists in fall prevention,” said Binsted. “Doing so will reduce the health care burden, and more importantly, improve the quality of life for older adults.”
WEST KELOWNA
Dementia workshop for newly diagnosed “You have dementia.” It’s a phrase no one wants to hear from their doctor yet it’s a reality for an ever-increasing number of Central Okanagan residents. Alzheimer’s disease is the second most feared disease for Canadians as they age. To help residents understand this pressing health issue, the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. brings its free workshop, Getting to Know Dementia, to West Kelowna on Monday, Nov. 23. “Participants will receive basic information on dementia and
the impact it has on individuals, their caregivers and their support networks,” explained Carly Gronlund, the society’s support and education coordinator for Kelowna and the North and Central Okanagan. The introductory session reviews the challenges of receiving a diagnosis of dementia. Participants will learn about the different types of support available throughout the dementia journey, how to begin planning for the future, and strategies for living well. This session is intended
for people experiencing early symptoms of dementia, as well as family members or friends who are currently supporting a person with a recent dementia diagnosis. The workshop is not intended for the general public or health care providers. The workshop runs from 1 to 3 p.m. at The Heritage Retirement Residence, 3630 Brown Rd., in Westbank. Pre-registration is required. For information contact Carly Gronlund at 250-860-0305 or cgronlund@alzheimerbc.org. The workshop is free thanks to partial funding from the province, Provincial Employees
Community Services Fund, Seacliff Foundation, RBC Foundation, Phyliss and Irving Snider Foundation, Victoria Foundation, Paul Lee Family Foundation, Merck Canada, Community Connection Health Foundation, Margaret Rothweiler Charitable Foundation, Cadillac Fairview, Lohn Foundation, Djavad Mowafaghian Foundation, Pfizer Canada Inc., Kaatza Foundation, London Drugs Foundation, Wheeler Family Foundation and other individual donors.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN
Collett Manor design Recently the public was given a first look at the design plans for the Collett Manor residential/commerical development in Kelowna. The mixed use project will be built across from the Kelowna General Hospital at 2169 Pandosy St. The development has received city council’s endorsement, and the open house on Monday was to let local residents learn about the passion and research put in by developer Alan Marrington. “We’ve spent years putting together the pieces for this project, both literally and figuratively,”said Marrington, owner of Pandosy Street Developments Ltd. “We wanted the public to be able to see and experi-
ence some of the innovative technologies and details that are going into this building. “The work that is being put into it is nothing short of extraordinary and there are so many details that people may not have even heard of before.” As part of its mixed-use designation, the project will include a unique blend of housing and hospitality options. The four-storey building will offer 41 residential units that are a blend of short-stay, long-stay and permanent residences, offering support and medical services, including treatment at KGH. Zoned HD2 (Hospital District 2), the building will also offer commercial/office
space for medical offices, treatment centres and complimentary services like a cafe or minimarket. Beyond the functionality of the Feng Shui-designed living spaces, the project also boasts an array of unique and innovative products and technologies: • American Clay walls for naturally beautiful interiors • Oversized doors and hallway • Touchless faucets • August remote keyless entry • Nest smoke/CO2 detector and thermostat • Warmboard in-floor radiant heating • UVC lights • Nanosilver flooring to deactivate harmful bacteria • Flexible wall systems. These features and ameni-
The Atrium within Collett Manor will feature soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light. All communal spaces will feature building materials designed with both human wellness and the environment in mind. CONTRIBUTED ties within Collett Manor will also make the building a candidate for WELL Certification, a system for measuring, certifying and monitoring a building’s impact on health and wellness.
While relatively new within the construction landscape, WELL is third-party-certified by Green Business Certification Inc., the same organization that administers the LEED program. Marrington said essentially,
WELL is to health what LEED is to the environment. “Through our research into products and procedures that would help those going through the medical system, we discovered WELL,” Marrington said.
“On completion, we will work towards becoming the first mixed-use development in the country to have achieved WELL Certification, putting this project and Kelowna on the map.”
Of Prime Interest: New government impact on interest rates We know our new Liberal government plans on spending a plethora of funds for infrastructure and various other projects to get the economy going in full swing. We also know the government plans on running deficits during its tenure in office. What we aren’t sure of is where interest rates are headed in the near future. There is a close watch on U.S interest rates. According to what we’ve been reading, the American economy is starting to heat up and there have been indications they are looking at an interest rate hike as soon as December of 2015. We always hear of potential interest rate hikes by them but a lot
depends on how brisk their economy is. As we know our economy relies heavily on our neighbours to the south and the Asian markets for our exports. Canadian mortgage rates have crept up but indications so far are that there may not be any movement in the Bank of Canada interest rate until potentially 2017, but that is not a given. Again this is from information that comes across our desks on a frequent basis. We monitor closely the future forecasts for where economists feel interest rates are headed. As with any forecasts, interest rates can vary up or down but what we do know is eventually mortgage rates will increase. For those
looking for a mortgage to refinance, renew or purchase a home, interest rates are still historically low. Due to the volatility of mortgage rates, you can ensure comfort by locking into a mortgage. If you decide to take a fiveyear mortgage you will be able to predict what you will be paying for the next five years. This will allow you to budget easier knowing what your monthly expenses are. Should you decide to prepay your mortgage you are allowed to pay anywhere from 10 per cent to 20 per cent once each year without penalty and also increase your payments by up to that same amount. We also know that an existing mortgage can be “ported” to
another property without penalty. In the case of a variable rate mortgage we do know you can have an interest rate below prime, with prime currently at 2.70 per cent. Rates will follow the lender’s prime rate up and down but again, we know eventually prime will increase, depending on the bond market, etc. For example if the lender’s prime rate goes up by 1.00 per cent so will your variable rate mortgage. That would mean if you had a variable rate currently at 2.25 per cent that would increase to 3.25 per cent, which is approximately 0.50 per cent higher than current fiveyear closed rates. We all have to carefully watch the
media to see where we are heading interest rate-wise. Again we have a new government in place and based on their platform we will have a wait and see attitude as to where interest rates are headed. If you have any questions about mortgage financing we are available to discuss options after we fully understand your financial and personal needs. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-4117; Christine Hawkins, 250826-2001; Trish Balaberde, 250-4708234.

WESLEY, WILLIAM OSCAR, CD
Went peacefully to be with the Lord on Thursday, October 29, 2015 at the age of 93. William was born on May 13, 1922 in Weymouth, Digby County, Nova Scotia to Beatrice and William Wesley. He had one brother and two sisters. William leaves to mourn him daughters Mary Anne (Bevin) in Oshawa, ON, Betty (Henry) in Richmond Hill, ON, Carol in Lincoln, NB, Brenda-Lee (Ron) in Kelowna, BC and sons: William (Judy) in Minnedosa, MB, John (Rose) in Lake Country, BC, 13 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. He was sadly predeceased by his parents and his brother and two sisters, his wife of 69 years, Sylvia, their son, Frederick and grandson David. William served in the Canadian Armed Forces from December 4, 1942 to November 19, 1945 (war time service) and served again from March 17, 1952 in RCEME as an aircraft mechanic and was Honourably Released on November 8, 1972. He served in England, North Africa, Italy, Belgium, Holland, France in war time and participated in the Victory Parade in Berlin. He received the following Orders, Decorations and Medals for his World War II service - 1939-45 Star, Italy Star, France and Germany Star, Canadian Volunteer Service Medal and Clasp, War Medal 1939-45, Canadian Armed Forces’ Decoration and Clasp. After living in many Canadian Armed Forces Bases across Canada, William decided to move his family to Kelowna, BC after retiring from the Canadian Armed Forces where he has resided from 1972 until his passing. In Kelowna, he was employed by Sun-Rype Products and B.C. Tree Fruits from 1973 to 1984 as a mechanic. William had a wonderful sense of humor and was often found in his workshop building wooden toys for his grandchildren, whirly gigs and various other handcrafted wooden items and was known as a ‘William of all trades’. He loved to hook rugs, paint and had an incredible garden. He was a generous man who donated funds to a number of charitable organizations. He thought so highly of his neighbors on Sheila and Stanley Crescent and was often seen visiting with them at the community mailbox. The family would like to thank Doug, Heather and the thoughtful staff at Fernbrae Manor where William resided for 7 months. He made so many friends at Fernbrae Manor in such a short period of time. The family would also like to thank the doctors, nurses and care aides at Kelowna General Hospital on 2 East as well as Dr. Whiting and the wonderful nurses and care aides at Cottonwoods Short Stay for William’s care. A celebration of William’s life will be held on November 26, 2015 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road with Pastor Glen Madden officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kelowna Legion Branch 26, 1380 Bertram Street, Kelowna (250) 762-4117 in William’s name.

WHISPER ID#380459 Whisper is a 12 year old Moluccan Cockatoo. He requires a home who has previous experience or extensive knowledge with this breed. He will require socializing and lots of time to bond with his new human companion. His new guardian should be prepared to work on positive calming and handling skills. These birds can live up to 50 years of age. If you are interested in making Whisper a part of your home, please speak with the Kelowna SPCA Staff. He is currently in a foster home and we would therefore require an appointment to visit with him.

GREG ID#378179
Contact your Capital News sales representative today 250.763.3212
Everyone meet Greg! At about 2 feet long, Greg is a full-grown male Rosy Boa... that’s right, not all species of Boa get large! Greg is a very friendly little guy who is happy to come out and be handled but also loves the safety of his enclosure! Like all reptiles, these guys have some very specific needs such as temperatures and humidity levels and handling among other things, so previous experience with reptiles is helpful! If you have any questions about Greg, or think that you could provide him with the loving home that he deserves, please ask a staff or volunteer member!
Be Vigilant! For some time now, many dogs have been lost or stolen in Kelowna and the surrounding areas. Get to know your neighbours, and their pets, too, as this crime of stealing pets is growing at an alarming rate.
Prevent this outrage. Contact your local SPCA for lost or found pets.

3 MONTH OLD DOMESTIC LONG HAIR MALE
6 YEAR OLD DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR FEMALE
Hi folks. I’d like to introduce myself to you, but I’d much prefer you visit with me and then take me home. I really would like that. I am very friendly with other cats but just a bit shy right now with people. Once I feel secure and comfortable, I love to cuddle. Can you please give me that chance at a new life with a new and loving home. Remember my name, Spike.
Hi there! My name is Bindi. I am a very sweet girl who was experiencing high levels of stress before I came to the Shelter. Due to that, I have over groomed myself... hence my funny ‘hair style’. I LOVE to socialize! I would greatly appreciate a second chance in a calm, quiet environment with an experienced guardian to help me live my new stressfree life. Please come introduce yourself and ask cat Staff about me... I am very much worth a place in your heart and home!

ANASTASIA ID#384605 1.5 YEAR OLD GREAT PYRANEES FEMALE
Anastasia is searching for a loving home. We know nothing of her background so you and she would be embarking on a new experience through life together. Anastasia loves people and the ‘great outdoors’. She bounds across the yard as soon as she see us. If you consider this ‘gentle giant’, experience with the breed is of the utmost importance. The Great Pyrenees dog is very versatile, making it a great companion, watch dog or livestock guardian. They possess a very calm, placid and protective nature, have a special love of small children and make for an excellent companion and protector - but caution needs to be used at all times. Call for an appointment to introduce your family, including other dogs.
