BLOWOUT!
Wenelda Zurrin with two supporters, Beau Michael Hocevar and Brian Desrochers, behind her plan to have a day of giving for those in need, everything from a bagged lunch to possibly a blanket or coat, on Dec. 12 outside the OK Corral cabaret in Kelowna.
Helping the city’s homeless Kelowna woman’s idea for day of giving finds widespread support Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
When Wenelda Zurrin saw a couple dozen men huddled on a sidewalk, near the bottle depot on Kirschner Road, she was struck by a desire to help. “I went home and talked to my son and my husband, and said, ‘Why don’t we make some sandwiches and hand them out?”’ she said. It was an idea her son Brian— who is always trying to think of way’s to help the community’s homeless—had two years earlier. He’d brought it to his school, and it was vetoed based on health concerns. So Zurrin wasn’t surprised when her 14-year-old was immediately on board with the suggestion. Then Zurrin had another idea, and the support she’s had for that has been a little more surprising.
“I thought maybe we should ask some others if they want to help, too,” she said. She posted her query on a Kelowna-oriented Facebook page and within hours, she was deluged with inquiries from people offering legwork, supplies and more. “It’s been amazing,” she said Tuesday afternoon—less than a week after she made the post. To date, she’s had 500 lines of inquiry, countless kudos and, for the sake of balance, the odd person who was feeling less than full of the Christmas spirit. When all was accounted for, it turned an off-the-cuff decision to feed sandwiches to 25 people in need, into a day of giving which will take place Dec. 12 outside the OK Corral cabaret. “We have around 130 bagged lunches being made,” said Zurrin, noting she has local moms stuffing paper bags with more than just a sandwich.
There will also be soup, a litre of juice, an apple, granola bar, socks and mittens. Those in need may just end up with a blanket or a coat, depending on supplies. “It just snowballed so fast,” she said. “It started as a raindrop and ended up like Frosty (the Snowman).” Key to ensuring the endeavour will go off without a hitch are a few people who reached out early—Beau Michael Hocevar, Brian Desrochers and Brenda Steadman. Steadman and Desrochers read about Zurrin’s plan not long after it was posted, like countless others. “We talked about it for around 30 minutes, and decided ‘let’s go for it,’” said Desrochers. They will be offering up their food truck as the base of operations for the December event. Working alongside them and whipping up vats of soup that
day will be Hocevar, who recently made a bit of a name for himself by following through with an inclination to give to those who need the most. Upon being laid off from his kitchen job over a month ago, Hocevar was struck by inspiration, much in the way Zurrin has been. “I went home, and realized I didn’t want to get bummed out, so I looked in my fridge and decided to make soup and hand it out to people who really needed it,” he said. With a quick inquiry, he found out that the Gospel Mission feeds around 500 people a night, which required more ingredients than he had on hand. So, he bought what was needed and when all was said and done that night, he had 88 gallons of soup. “I grabbed some pails and I walked through City Park

News INTERIOR HEALTH
Economist puts damper on laundry service privatization awaters@kelownacapnews.com
The union fighting Interior Health’s plan to privatize laundry services at 11 hospitals and care centres in the region, including Kelowna General Hospital, says the health authority has not made a valid business case for the move. That’s the conclusion of Simon Fraser University School of Public Policy economist Marvin Shaffer. Shaffer reviewed two IHA documents from 2010 pertaining to the plan and says, while the health authority says it will save money by contracting out the services, no financial analysis was provided. The documents were obtained by the Hospital Employees’ Union through a Freedom of Information request. Last year, Interior Health said it
would seek bids from the private sector to take over all, or part of, its laundry operations at KGH, as well as hospitals in Vernon, Kamloops, Penticton and Nelson and at six smaller community facilities. In addition to no valid financial analysis of the options included, Shaffer found unexplained discrepancies in the cost of building a new centralized laundry facility— one of the options contemplated in the documents. In one document, the cost of building the facility through a public-private partnership was estimated at $20 million. The other document pegged the cost at $10 million, if built by the private sector. “There is no explanation of why there should be such a discrepancy, particularly given that in both cases the facility would be built by the private sector,” said Shaffer, who
was commissioned by the union to review the documents. While the health authority has conceded the laundry services are well run and efficient now, it says moving forward provincial money will be needed to maintain the operation over the next 10 years, money Victoria is not willing to provide. The union says 175 laundry workers in the Southern Interior would be directly affected by a move to contract out the service to a Lower Mainland or Alberta company. A decision about the future of laundry services in the region has been postponed several times over the last year and is now expected to be made by the IH board before the end of 2015.
High winds damage suspension bridge A suspension bridge at Kelowna Mountain has been damaged after an assault from Mother Nature. Following reports that a bridge had been damaged by vandals, Nicola Consiglio put out a brief comment on Facebook, explaining what was really happening. “There was a terrible Windstorm. Kelowna Mountain has not been Vandalized. Maintenance is on site,” Nicola Consiglio, wife of Mark
Consiglio, the developer of the Kelowna Mountain project, wrote. “Thank you for the emails and Texts to help repair.” The Consiglios are the focus of a foreclosure lawsuit filed in BC Supreme Court. Melvin Haber, Robert Sauer, Craig Sheridan, Dr. Steven L. Kirzner INC. and Mackoff Management Services (2012) INC. filed the suit that alleges payments have not been made on mortgages and other loans totaling
$4,435,993.18 with interest of $2,747.59 accruing daily. The petitioners are seeking a court order to sell a 480-acre Kelowna Mountain property used to secure the loans. Kelowna Mountain is also involved in a lawsuit filed by Tri City Capital Corp., which claims Kelowna Mountain defaulted on a mortgage. Seemingly in return, Kelowna Mountain has sued the Regional District of the Central Okangan. In a suit launched
last month, Kelowna Mountain claims to have spent more than $50 million to purchase the lands and to develop them for agriculture and agri-tourism uses. That investment, it claims, was a waste due to the actions of the regional district, which it says effectively put them out of business. Kelowna Mountain will open Easter weekend in 2016 and be open weekends only until summer, according to its Facebook page.
Housing density change for Kirschner Mt. The Kirschner Mountain development in Black Mountain could end up being bigger than originally thought. Kelowna city council has approved a bid by the owners— who are selling the property and the project—to amend the city’s Official Community Plan to allow the total build out that could see as many as 771 units built, up from the previous limit of 600 units.
A total of 431 would be singlefamily homes, with the other 340 considered multi-family, mostly townhomes. The changes also add more green space to connect parks in the development, with new open space being primarily on steep hillside and on what the city considers sensitive slopes. Currently, there is 19.7 hectares of land set aside for park in the
development. The new change would add another 19.14 hectares, mainly in ribbons of connecting greenspace. The new townhomes would be built lower on the property in clusters to keep the higher density lower on the mountain. The Kirschner family, which started the development, has entered into an agreement to sell the project based on the higher density plan.

Kelowna city councillor Tracy Gray was among the first local celebrities to help kick-start the annual Salvation Army Kettle fundraising campaign last Friday at the Walmart store in Kelowna.
Salvation Army reaching out to families in need at Christmas The Salvation Army Food and Toy program is well underway. Last week, 200 families registered and another 200 appointments are booked for this week. “We want to help as many individuals as we can this season and make sure no one gets missed. It is important that any family in need call and set up an appointment as this is our last week,” said Pam Grimm, communications coordinator for The Salvation Army in the Central Okanagan. “It is difficult for some people to ask for help, especially if it is their first time in need. We don’t just hand out a random box of food and toys, we strive to meet the needs of each member of the family. “It is a personal process which takes time and coordination to achieve. We want our families to be a part of the plan and feel treated with dignity and respect. The application interview allows us to do this.” Registration is taking place at the
Community Life Centre in Rutland with only Thursday and Friday appointments currently available. Overflow appointments will be created if needed. Families (two or more in the same household) who need to book a registration interview are asked to call 250-765- 3450 and press option 4 between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Devina, a Salvation Army Christmas program organizer, said the goal is to help meet as many people’s needs as possible this Christmas. “My highlight story was giving a coat to a man facing one of the hardest times in his life, whose jacket was old, torn and unable to close or provide protection from the elements,”she said. “The gratitude on his face to bring him a new warm jacket, watch him put it on and bless him with prayer and to make him feel supported through the season and in his hardship—he expressed that he is not alone and felt supported and lifted—was a beautiful thing.”

Oyama couple think rural setting ideal for relocating refugees Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
An Oyama vineyard owner has decided to follow her heart and not give in to fear. Roxana Adams and her husband Bruce are making a carriage house on their property available to house Syrian refugees if needed and have received the proper approval from the District of Lake Country to make it possible. The couple, who operate Living Water Certified Organic Vineyard, received a temporary use permit that will allow them to house refugees on their nearly six acre Oyama property if the need arises. “This is a humanitarian issue that affects the whole world,” said Roxana. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my lifetime. We talked about it and our carriage house is empty for most of the winter. “We just thought, ‘Why not?’ I think some people will say ‘not in my backyard,’ but I think that’s coming from people’s fears and not being led by their heart. “There are a very few number of people that are the ones that are terrorists. It’s minuscule. These people are leaving something that
is really bad and I agree that we should be doing our part to help.” Adams added that she believes the Canadian government has and will continue to do an excellent job of screening. “It is the very vulnerable that are being allowed in,” she said. “Women and children, families and often relatives of families already here, well-educated families and many that have been waiting through this refugee process for a few years now, already in the system,” she said. The Adams’ appeared at Lake Country council earlier this month to ask for the special permit to allow for housing refugees, something that is not accepted under their agri-tourism designation. Two members of the public spoke up against the application and the district also received a few letters on the issue. All people who wrote or spoke against the move said they support efforts to help refugees but said a vineyard in Oyama that has agritourism designation was not the proper spot. In a letter to Lake Country council Rosemary Misfeldt said she is in
favour of helping out refugees but said a more urban area would be better for several reasons including the refugees potential isolation, lack of transportation and lack of contact with other refugees. But at the vineyard, Adams said a rural setting might be just what is needed for a family that has been through what the Syrian refugees are dealing with and added Oyama Traditional School is very close to her location and the school bus goes right past their home. She said church groups, who have taken the lead on bringing refugees into Canada, will work with families to help with transportation and becoming immersed in the community. “The churches get very involved with getting them to family dinners and intermingling with other people that are already here with their own families,” said Adams who stressed she feels it is important for Canadians to make refugees welcome. “It’s really important that the youth feel like they are welcomed because that is the group that will carry on. We have to make them welcome. That’s where our heart has to lead over our fear.”
Oyama homeowners Roxana and Bruce Adams say they are ready and willing to accept Syrian refugees and have Lake Country’s approval to do it. Others say a rural setting may not the best place.
Fundraiser held for Syrian family Little Mohammad Al Sweileh turns one this week, and he is stateless. Born in a Lebanese refugee camp, he has a Lebanese birth certificate but no passport. While his family originally thought Lebanon would be a safe alternative to their wartorn homeland of Syria, his family is now unsafe due to the increased violence against Syrians in Lebanon. Mohammad’s family is being sponsored by the Central Okanagan Refugee Committee (CORC). Young Mohammad’s grandparents and their five youngest children came to Kelowna as refugees in 2015. Mohammad’s grandfather, also named Mohammad, said: “I have never met my two youngest grandchildren. I am so happy that they will be able to be safe in Canada.” Mohammad’s mother, Ebtisam, has four children ages six and younger. Ibrahim, six, is learning English.

PEOPLE-FRIENDLY DOWNTOWN
CATCH marks National Child Day in Kelowna Kelowna council loves laneway beautification idea Alistair Waters
Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews
A city plan to make a downtown lane more of a people-friendly, public space is right up council’s alley. The lane, at the foot of Bernard Avenue, was the subject of a temporary beautification project last year. Building on that, it was not hard for city staff to convince council Monday to support its new Laneway Project, aimed at not only beautifying the lane to attract people with colourful surroundings, street furniture, temporary public art and live music, but also to make what has, until now, been under-utilized public space into something more appealing and useful. And council loved what they heard. “It’s a brilliant idea,” enthused Coun. Charlie Hodge, with other councillors chiming in with similar comments. And even those who were more cautious, like Coun. Gail Given, who said she hoped the lane would not become a new home for vagrants to hangout and panhandle and a magnet for the “less-than-desirable element,” liked the idea. Coun. Maxine DeHart said anything would be an improvement over the lane as it is now, a home for illegally parked cars and overflowing trash bins. If successful, the laneway, which connects Bernard Avenue and Lawrence Avenue (but will only have the first half in from Bernard improved) could be a template for other city lanes in the downtown, Rutland and South Pandosy areas. The lane is currently one of the most pedestrian accessible locations in the city, say city staff, with many using it to walk between Bernard and Lawrence Avenues and farther south to Leon Avenue. Last year, a group got together to paint the pavement a vivid blue and white design and set out tables and chairs as part of a downtown street festival.
Kelowna’s Community Action Towards Children’s Health (CATCH) marked national Child Day last Friday with a panel discussion and display that organizer Myrna Kalmakoff said she hoped would encourage all those who attended to go out and advocate in their own way for children. CATCH, which did not release its annual State of The Child report this year because of a lack of data thanks to the former Conservative government killing the long-form census, works to make the lives of children in the area better. At last week’s event, about 200 people heard from a panel about ways the public can be advocates for children in the community. Sitting on the panel were community facilitator Menno Salverda, executive director of the Metis Community Services Society Kelly L’Hirondelle, Okanagan College professor and former federal NDP candidate Norah Bowman and city planner Michelle Cam. “We need to build

the community and community decisionmaking processes,” said L’Hirondelle, who spoke about the challenges facing aboriginal youth when it comes to
programs and how they are dealt with by social services. He said 50 per cent of children in provincial care are aboriginal but only four per cent of the general population is aboriginal. Despite that concerning statistic and need for a lot of work to be done, he said there are good programs here and a key is to have young people be part of the decision-making when it comes to programs aimed at helping them.
“But it’s hard,” L’Hirondelle said. “The reality in the aboriginal community is that we have to scream and shout to get our voices heard.” For Bowman, who said she heard a lot about the issue of children and how to care for them— from social services to education to daycare— as she talked to voters during the recent federal election campaign, the need for help for parents in looking after their children is different for different people.

“Everybody moves through the world differently,” she said, and that needs to be taken into account. But having proper programs in place to help parents raise their kids is economically good for both men and women, she added. Part of the CATCH event included a project by first-year Okanagan College early childhood education students that looked at the rights of children as articulated by the United Nations’ declaration of children’s rights. The students were split into eight teams to work on an individual right and what is available in the Kelowna area, or the wider B.C. area, to support that right. Instructor Betty Clelland said the exercise was important for the first-year students as it gave them a sense of what is available here and what is missing. From a local perspective, Cam said the city has many plans and policies in place that address the needs of children, including its overarching Official Community Plan that addresses issues such as transportation, safety and land use, all issues that strive to improve the quality of life for all in the city.

news _____________________________________________________________________ SIMON CHANG
Barry Gerding bgerding@kelownacapnews.com
Wearing comfortable clothes is perhaps the single driving force in women’s fashion, says Canadian fashion designer Simon Chang. Living in the casual society of today, the old fashioned rules are changing—how women wear clothes, the harmonizing of fashion to fit a variety of lifestyle settings, Chang says. “It is a bit of a mixed mash today,” said Chang, visiting Kelowna on Friday at the invitation of Park Boulevard Fashions store owner Gloria Pietsch to talk about his fashion line with her customers. “Lifestyle has changed so much. We live in a casual society today. We want clothes that are easy to take care of. We are less constricted than we used to be.” “We used to have clothes for work, and clothes for church and clothes to go out to the theatre, clothes for this and that. Today, there is crossover. Women want to wear clothes to work, and be able to come home at night and wear the same clothes rather than change into something else. Rules change and as fashion designers, we have to adapt to those changes.” That’s why Chang says making store visits to speak directly to customers is important to him, getting feedback on his clothes and taking what he learns to adapt to his next fashion designs. Chang says many of his counterparts in the fashion world rarely get out and talk directly to their customers, something he takes a lot of pride in. “I don’t design clothes for just one look. The reality is that women come in all shapes and sizes, and I want to design clothing lines that offer something for everyone to wear and get value from,” he said. Chang says where fashion was driven visually by skinny models 20 or 30 years ago, today it is driven by celebrities. “Driving the fashion industry images today are celebrities like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez…but the reality is real people don’t look like they do. As a designer, I feel it is important to
understand the needs of real people, that one design profile doesn’t fit all.” Chang says the new phenomena with change is how women are breaking out of the traditional moulds of fashion. “Thirty or 40 years ago, there was a role for how women looked who were single, who were moms, who were grandmoms. Now today, it is very crossover. Grandma wants to look good too. The generation gap between older and younger in fashion is getting smaller.” Chang is also a big booster of accessories, for how a necklace or scarf can add a different look to an outfit and extend its shelf life. “You may have a black dress you really like to wear, but rather than having to buy a new black dress to replace it, you can accessorize differently and transform it into a whole new look. It doesn’t look like you are wearing that same dress. Accessories change the outfit.” For Kelowna, Chang says layering can also be an important aspect of any fashion wardrobe, again a reflection of the need for versatility and comfort in what you are wearing. “With layering things, you can adapt to the more seasonless climate here, add something if it occasionally gets too cold or do the opposite if it gets too warm,” he said. “Again it is the comfort factor and the detail of the clothes. A lot of people go south here and they don’t want to be dragging three or four bags full of clothes with them, so you look for variations of layering with clothes that mix and match that you can fit into one suitcase to last you three or four weeks.” Chang, the recipient of the Order of Canada in 2008, started designing his own fashion line in Montreal back in 1963. He says clothing fashion trends have also seeped into home interior design, one reason he opted to lend his name to a new line of Beauty Tone paint colours offered at Home Hardware stores. He says the impact of fashion, adopting new colour combinations and accessorizing, has found its way into how we look at interior decorating
today. “You look at the colours that have invaded our clothing closets in the last 20 years, things like turquoise, pinks, yellows, teal, floral paisley. These colours are now being used to paint rooms in our homes, you see that crossover effect.”
TIPS AND TRICKS
Some fashion tips from designer Simon Chang: Neck: With sun comes crêpe-like skin damage and creases, and many women are conscious of this area of their bodies. They don’t want to be totally covered up with tight-fitting turtlenecks,
so softer, breathable fabrics that hang beautifully in this area can address those concerns. Arms: Even while women can maintain a youthful appearance in their faces, parts of their bodies may have sagging skin (raise your arms if this applies to you). Many women don’t want to expose their arms, but in warmer weather, it’s hard to stay covered up. Chang suggests avoiding sleeveless options, but going for a slightly longer sleeve in a lightweight fabric. Or pairing a coverup to an outfit that

Opinion OUR VIEW
Tradition of acceptance To begin, the Syrian refugee crisis is not new. In a country ravaged by civil war for nearly five years, the human toll has had plenty of time to mount. It’s estimated more than 250,000 people are dead so far— the majority of them civilians. Another 11 million—roughly a third the population of Canada—have been forced from their homes. Of those, four million have fled the country in a pitiful exodus not seen since the Second World War. That Canadians are just waking up to this crisis does not change the history. It does not change the fact that children born into this tragedy will soon celebrate their fifth birthday having never known peace and security. Canada has a chance to change that, at least for some. The effort to accommodate a small percentage of refugees is gathering momentum. It’s happening at a grassroots level in Kelowna, and in many other communities across Canada. It’s a demonstration of the same compassion that led to our earlier acceptance of those fleeing unrest and persecution: the Hungarians, Poles, Jews, Ismailis, Czechs, Chileans, Iranians, Ukrainians, Vietnamese, Bosnians, Kosovars and others. Of course Canada’s record is not without blemish. The plight of 907 Jews who tried to escape Nazi Germany in 1939 aboard the ocean liner St. Louise offers a good example. Canada refused them, and 254 later died in concentration camps. It is not a chapter we can be proud of, but it is one we can learn from. Canada has agreed to take in 25,000 refugees. Of the four million Syrians fleeing the murderous carnage in their homeland, that’s 0.06 per cent. Yes, accommodating them will bring challenges. But turning them away puts us in uncomfortable company—on the side of the fearful, in the camp of the selfish, and in league with the intolerant. That would be a betrayal of a tradition that has shaped our country.

Another token civic courtesy now gone It was a small thing to do but with City a big upside. Confidential In the past, once every three years ALISTAIR during municipal WATERS election campaigns, the City of Kelowna provided space at a city facility—most often the Kelowna Community Theatre—free of charge for an all-candidates meeting. But no longer. The long-standing policy of providing space for another group to hold the meeting dated back to 1976, but was quietly scrapped by the current city council Monday morning. The dumping of the small part the city has played in democracy for the last 39 years was contained in a policy review recommendation that lumped it in with figuring out a better way to invest city surplus funds. Acting on the recommendation,which was surprisingly forwarded by deputy city clerk Karen Needham—the woman who runs the civic election for the city—council decided it no longer needs to participate in helping municipal voters hear directly from the men and women running for council. Given the embarrassingly low turnout at municipal polls every three years—now every four years—forgoing the revenue from a couple of hours rental of the Kelowna Community Theatre doesn’t seem like a move that would strain on the city’s $477.3 million annual budget. The loss may have been minimal but the bad optics are huge. Every time a civic election rolls around we hear how

the city wants to get more voters out to the polls. When one in three residents voting is considered a good turnout, anything that can be done to increase voter participation should be welcomed—even this. It’s not like the city’s offer has to be taken up by some group planning to stage an all-candidates meeting. It’s just there if needed. It sends a message. The city is doing its part to help keep voters informed. While suggestions of other ways the city can help improve voter turnout abound, they should not be considered reasons to dump one of the easiest and cheapest ways city hall can assist the election process. They should be thought of as additions. Making space available for all candidates to speak wasn’t a conflict of interest or something that would help an individual. It simply provided a venue for all candidates running to be heard. And that is what the city said it wanted to promote—more interested and informed voters who would get out and cast their ballots. Yes, there are plenty of other all-candidates meetings that take place in the city during municipal election campaigns, and yes, their venues are not subsidized. But that does not mean the city should not do all it can to further voter turnout. Falling back on its grant-in-aid program as an alternative seems like a cumbersome requirement for something that happens so infrequently but is part of a process that means so much to the city. Kelowna city hall says it wants to do all it can to encourage voters to participate in the civic elections. What council just tossed out was one of the ways of helping to do that.

Letters LAKESHORE WATERFRONT
Waterfront purchase another park pipe dream To the editor: Regarding the major land purchase by the City of Kelowna for a waterfront park, it was reported: “‘The city has not made a purchase of land this significant in over 40 years,’ said Mayor Colin Basran. ‘The $12 million, 2.9acre land purchase is funded through the development cost charges program and land reserves.’” Perhaps they have conveniently and once again forgotten that during the nine years between 1989 and 1997 (18 years ago) they purchased 11 nearly identical properties for $3.9 million, totaling 900 feet of sandy waterfront. I have 26 pages of the thenconfidential documents carefully detailing the acquisition of each property and the purpose. For example, in 1992 one paragraph of the 3096 Walnut Road purchase reads: “Property acquisitions to the north of Cedar Avenue were initiated with the express purpose of expanding this beach end as a neighbourhood lake access park. The lake access in this area is fairly sandy with a gently sloping bottom suitable for swimming. The Leisure Services Department initially supported expansion of the Cedar Avenue beach end to the north for development of a neighbourhood lake access park. The Leisure Services Department also supports extension of this park down to Meikle Avenue beach access because of the ability to include the 66 foot road right-of-way and the large portion of Crown foreshore in the park development at no cost to the City. Staff’s recommendation
is to continue renting the existing residences until all properties have been acquired and then to develop the entire area as a neighbourhood beach front park similar to Kinsmen and Strathcona parks.” The area being referred to is at the foot of Cedar Avenue in the heart of the growing Pandosy Village. Many of you will recall the more recent public initiative to get the city to recognize what this purchase was for after the city attempted to have it sold for development. They have since designated the land for some loose form of “eventual” park use, but the current 2030 financial plan does not allocate any money to develop the beach and park until 2027; 30 years from when the land assembly was finished. Even 2027 is arbitrary because who knows what council 12 years from now will want. Surely, a rapidly growing and affluent city could have afforded the little it would have taken to make the Cedar Avenue waterfront accessible to the public. After all, the city even admits that in its surveys increased public access to the waterfront remains among the highest priorities. Rather, I believe that this latest and very expensive land purchase will eventually be treated similarly to Cedar Avenue in that the ultimate goal is to sell the land for development but keep a sliver of the waterfront as a public boardwalk. As far as an actual park, we are likely again being sold a pipe dream. Michael Neill, Kelowna
No recognition for Simpson Open letter to city fathers and staff: How many of you remember when the Simpson Sawmill was the most prominent feature of downtown Kelowna? My parents recognized the tall chimney as a sign of hope for employment and future success. The mill has been moved northwards. It changed names a few times since Stanley M. Simpson was its owner. Many hundreds of people have worked in various mill jobs. Mr. Simpson had foresight, determination to succeed, and decent ethics overall. A huge portion of Kelowna’s Cultural District has been constructed on land formerly owned by Mr. Simpson. This land
Beach walk To the editor: More access to Okanagan lakefront Would you like to be able to walk along more of Kelowna’s lakeshore? Many people don’t know that Okanagan Lake collectively belongs to the citizens of B.C. The Province of B.C. has long had laws that prohibit fences or other obstructions along most of the shoreline that’s below the highwater line. It’s up to the province to enforce the laws that they made. To improve our access to our lake, they’ve introduced a website and toll-free number so that you can confidentially report specific blockages along the foreshore. You can also attach photos at their web-site. This is the phone number: 1-844-676-8477 This is the website: https://www.for.gov. bc.ca/hen/nrv/report.htm. Al Janusas, Kelowna
was sold to the City at a discounted price and with a few restrictions. Mr. Simpson wanted this land to be for the public use of the citizens of Kelowna. The legal, technical wording was called the Simpson Covenant. Everyone who travels downtown on Water Street can see City Hall, the community theatre and Stuart Park. If you search, you can find a small bench and a small plaque dedicated to S.M. Simpson. What? No Simpson Park? Our current city council owns a great deal of property well suited to affordable housing. The City has finally started to use Central Green to make such provisions. This could/ should have started some 10 or so years ago. Those years of lost taxes are a scandal. Affordable housing should not go onto Simpson Covenant land. The Covenant set guidelines for all citizens of Kelowna. Simple green space, trees, benches, minimal amenities would truly be a breath of fresh air downtown. Think about it. M.F. Wort, Kelowna
For the record… In an editorial we ran in the Nov. 4 edition of the Kelowna Capital News (It’s Only A Matter of Time), the writer referred to the November through March clock setting as daylight savings, when in fact we are on standard time during the winter months. Daylight savings begins on the second Sunday of March, when clocks are moved ahead (spring forward) one hour, is followed throughout the summer months, and ends on the first Sunday in November when clocks are moved back (fall back) one hour.
Perhaps dogs allowed into new park To the editor: The news last week that Kelowna has purchased 2.9 acres of lakefront for a public beach may one day be good news for Kelowna’s residents. If a public beach is indeed developed there, then the $12 million price paid to acquire the properties will have been well spent. But I am too skeptical to rejoice, because the city has owned 13 lakefront properties along Abbott and Walnut streets at the foot of Cedar Avenue for many years. These properties, which the city calls South Pandosy Waterfront Park, were also purchased for parkland, but instead of being developed into a 900-foot linear park, for all to enjoy, the city leased four of them (240 feet of lakeshore) to the Kelowna Paddle Centre in 2013. Then instead of demolishing the old rental houses on the remaining properties, the city renovated them, thereby signaling a park was not in the offing. A faint hope for the park remains—the Kelowna 2030 Plan, released last week, does show that $2 million is allocated for South Pandosy Waterfront Park in 2027. Perhaps the 2.9 acres property will become a park without the use of polls, surveys, open houses, public hearings and signs telling local residents “It’s Your Neighbourhood.” The public’s participation in the City’s inputseeking methods did not materialize into a public park for Cedar Avenue. However, the Kelowna Paddle Centre was able to obtain council’s unanimous approval to lease four of the properties for a private-pay members club. It’s public, as long as you can pay the annual fee. Meanwhile, residents have to wait until 2027 for the remaining nine properties to be developed into a public park. By then, will anyone remember that a park was meant to be there? There is a relatively frugal way to use three more of the South Pandosy Waterfront Park properties: A dog beach along Abbott Street between Cedar Avenue and the Paddle Centre. It would end the parks department’s decade-long search for an urban dog beach and save the City $7,500 for a dog survey next year. No survey was held about the paddlers’ claim. But, where there is a will, there is a way, as was demonstrated by the generosity to paddlers. Helen Schiele, Kelowna

news _____________________________________________________________________ ICON FROM A7 emphasizes bare arms. Waist: Some women experience a thickening of their waistlines as they age. If that is the case, clothes should not be too tight-fitting. Go for a relaxed rather than cinched shape around the waist. Instead of the chunky tight belts that you may have worn in your youth, a relaxed chain belt might be more flattering. Knees: Even thin legs can reveal a woman’s age. Gravity works on the skin on the knees, dragging the whole leg down and making skirt length more important. But even if you want to wear a shorter
skirt, it’s possible to still look fabulous if you pair it with leggings. Leggings help to flatter a woman’s body, so short skirts or long tunics can keep you looking current and fashionable. Jeans: Women of all ages love jeans and want to wear them. Options like control-top jeans are flattering, comfortable, and offer a smoother look. Under-garments: Under-garments like Shapers smooth lines helping women of any age feel more confident and less inhibited by little rolls. Chang recommends them for all women.

nonsense, easy-care fabrics that better suit your lifestyle. Chang looks for seasonless fabrication. With travel, climate fluctuations and indoor heating and cooling systems, he tries to design adaptable clothes. Layers are the way to do this. “I love stuff you can wear year-round and add to,” he said.
“It’s great to have things that you love to wear. Seasons don’t exist anymore, especially for people who travel globally.” Layering is a more sensible way to dress. Lighter weight fabrics accommodate the climate and are adaptable to the environment. Details: Most women don’t like pulling tight clothing over their heads. Tiny buttons aren’t practical. Some people have difficulty lifting their arms into tight turtlenecks. They find them suffocating. Even arm holes have to be cut precisely and more generously. Beautiful sleeves that are not too short—sometimes threequarter length—are the way to go. “I don’t design garments that need an instruction pamphlet to put the outfit together,” Chang said.

Routine HIV testing rolls out at IH hospitals Patients can expect to be offered an HIV test when receiving blood work in Interior Health hospitals. To date, seven Interior Health emergency departments have started offering an HIV test routinely and additional sites are expected to be on board in the coming months. The expanded testing is a part of the provincial Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention of HIV/AIDS (STOP HIV/AIDS) program, which aims to reduce HIV transmission and improve the health outcomes of those living with HIV by offering widespread HIV testing, treatment, and early engagement into care. “Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the number of new HIV infections in our region,” said Dr. Trevor Corneil, chief medical health officer with Interior Health. “Treatments available today can suppress HIV to undetectable levels and that greatly reduces the likelihood of transmitting the virus to others.” Maja Karlsson, STOP HIV program implementation leader, believes routinely offering an HIV test will help reduce stigma and reach people with no obvious risk factors, who would normally have fallen through the cracks. “Anyone who has ever been sexually active is at some risk of HIV. A large portion of newly diagnosed patients don’t identify as ever belonging to one of the traditional high prevalence populations,” said Karlsson. “Getting tested for HIV provides reassurance for those who test negative; and for those who test positive it provides an opportunity to access life–saving treatment.”

Mountie pair earn prestigious honour
Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Two Kelowna Mounties were given the highest
award for B.C. policing at a ceremony last week. At B.C.’s 35th annual Police Honours Night, Lieutenant Governor
Judith Guichon and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton presented awards of valour to Sgt. Jeff Meyers, who’s

currently with Federal Serious and Organized Crime, and Const. Greg Barnard for their efforts to save an area resident. The award of valour is the highest award for a B.C. police officer and represents their decision to place themselves at substantial personal risk to save others. In the case of Meyers and Barnard, they put themselves at risk in the process of saving a suicidal woman who was dangling from a fourth floor balcony. In all, 22 officers received the award of valour, while 44 others were awarded meritorious service honours, which recognize exemplary performance that exceeds
expectations. “These awards are our way of taking time to honour outstanding leadership and bravery, and to acknowledge those who’ve raised the public safety benchmark in ways that further public support for—and confidence in—all of our police officers,” said Anton. “These 66 individuals epitomize what makes the uniforms they wear and the badges they carry enduring symbols of aid in any circumstance. “With their continued efforts to make communities safer, we will help ensure that criminals find no safe haven in British Columbia,” Anton said.

news _____________________________________________________________________ REFINERY PROPOSAL
Jeff Nagel Contributor
B.C. oil refinery proponent David Black says his $22-billion proposal won’t die with the apparently thwarted Northern Gateway pipeline—he aims to bring oil sands bitumen across northern B.C. by train instead. The Victoria
businessman, who is majority owner of Black Press, parent company of the Kelowna Capital News, spoke recently at a Rotary Club meeting in South Surrey. Black’s Kitimat Clean proposal calls for a refinery between Terrace and Kitimat that would process bitumen into gasoline, diesel and other refined fuels for Asian
markets. He said the federal Liberal government’s move to formally ban crude oil tankers from B.C.’s north coast means the Northern Gateway pipeline plan is “pretty much dead.” But that shouldn’t block tanker exports of refined fuel, which would be less damaging than a spill of crude or bitumen
at sea. Black said his plan to carry oil by rail will be far safer than the crude oil trains that have been vulnerable to fiery disasters elsewhere. He said he’s in talks with CN Rail to load rail cars with undiluted bitumen, which would be much thicker—virtually solid—compared to the diluted bitumen that

‘Dead’ pipeline prompts plan B to move bitumen from Alberta

moves through pipelines or the light oil that’s often carried by train. The bitumen would be heated at the beginning and end of each rail trip to make it flow for loading and unloading from tanker cars. Black argues it would be unlikely to leak or burn if a train derailed. “It’s safer and way easier,” he said, estimating six trains a day would run every four hours. Black continues to pursue environmental approvals, and believes that with green lights from regulators and first nations, oil shippers and financiers will come on board. But his is not the only such proposal. Pacific Future Energy, led by a Mexican conglomerate, initially tried to buy Black out and has since proposed a similar refinery with the same technology. Its backers include SNC Lavalin and prominent aboriginal advisors. Pacific Future initially proposed a site in Prince Rupert, but Black said that firm is trying to strike a deal with the Kitselas band for the same site Kitimat Clean had chosen. There are other potential sites with different first nations, he said, but they’re less suitable. Black also criticized the provincial government’s focus on liquefied natural gas projects. He said his refinery would generate more permanent jobs and taxes for governments than even an optimistic number of LNG plants. “Government really dove at this,” he said, adding the province “rolled over” in guaranteeing generous
tax treatment to get the industry on board, leaving little future revenue to government. Too many LNG plants are already being built in Australia and the U.S., he said, while Japan’s shift back towards nuclear power will cut demand. “I just don’t think there’s much chance,” Black said. “The LNG dream is now fading.” Black is not concerned that low oil prices will also doom his refinery dream. He said he believes low prices as well as the U.S. rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline to the U.S. Gulf Coast will make his option for reaching lucrative Pacific markets increasingly attractive to oil firms grappling with narrowing margins, particularly in Alberta’s oil sands. Black maintains a refinery can’t be built in Alberta itself because of opposition from multinational oil firms that own Texas refineries, and because the large prefabricated modules that can be assembled on the B.C. coast can’t be hauled inland. His proposal would use an unusual technology —adding $5 billion to the costs—that slashes the carbon emissions to less than one third of a conventional refinery. Black argues the “greenest refinery in the world” would largely offset the higher emissions of oil sands bitumen and forge a political solution for Canada’s energy policy makers. “It cleans the whole industry up,” Black said. “We’re not in the dirty oil business any more. We get huge value add. And it takes away the issue of a heavy oil spill at sea.”

Gift of hearing welcomed by local senior At the age of 96, it’s become a whole new world for Kelowna senior Elsie Chandler. Santa has come early this year for Chandler, the recipient of new hearing aids from NexGen Hearing in Kelowna. NextGen was contacted by Seniors Outreach, saying Chandler was in need of hearing aids but couldn’t afford to pay for them. A Christmas tree decorated with stars with a wishlist of gifts for less fortunate seniors had Chandler’s name on it. Within a few days, Chandler was contacted, brought to the NextGen centre on Gordon Drive in Kelowna by her visiting son, and she was outfitted with a pair of recycled hearing aids. “It’s unbelievable. I can hear everything now,” Chandler said. NextGen audiometric technician Lisa Gunn said the outgoing and vivacious Chandler, who still lives on her own in an apartment, was emotional about receiving the hearing aids, overwhelmed by the generosity of others. “It was pretty amazing as soon as the hearing aids were put in place. She was just blown away by what she could hear. We were both in tears,” Gunn said. Colin VanBergen, the owner of the NextGen store on Gordon Drive that assisted Chandler, said the company has a program of receiving hearing aids from people who have passed away or don’t use them anymore, ensuring the hearing aids are in working order and passing them on to those who are financially unable to deal with their hearing issues. “They are second hand but we make sure these hearing aids are in working order and provide them to people in need at no charge,” VanBergen said. Chandler is amazed to be able to hear sounds and people’s voices that prior to this week had been silent to her. “It’s just amazing. You have to watch what you say around me now because I can hear everything,” Chandler laughed.
Political significance of Magna Carta discussed In 1215 AD in feudal England, a group of lords met with the English king to negotiate the end of a civil war, resulting in a charter eventually called the Magna Carta. While 800 years of history have since passed, UBC Okanagan professor Ben Nilson contends the charter may be the greatest political document of all time. Nilson will host a presentation titled Magna Carta: An 800 year Legacy of Lucky Awesomeness, on Monday, Nov. 30, 6:30 p.m. at the downtown Kelowna library branch, 1380 Ellis St. He will share how the Magna Carta was responsible for saving England from autocracy and set the stage for parliamentary democracy and the rule of law, and how the survival of the charter has been largely due to luck.

The calendar doesn’t lie. December is approaching and already you may feel the stress of Christmas starting to build. The Yuletide brings with it a flurry of mustaccomplish tasks—baking, shopping, entertaining, traveling and dealing with eccentric family members who arrive ready to renew decades-old arguments. So how can you endure without all those stressinducing moments ruining your health and sapping your holiday spirit? First off, don’t stress about the fact you feel stressed, says Dr. Donna L. Hamilton, author of Wellness Your Way: The Short and Sweet Guide to Creating Your Custom Plan for a Happier, Healthier Life. According to Hamilton, stress is pervasive. “Stress is a fact of life. And stress isn’t even always bad. Some people need a certain amount of stress to function optimally,” she said. Hamilton offers these five tips to help you feel less stressed as you navigate your way through holiday hassles. • Connect with the spirit of gratitude that marks the season. Research shows that expressing gratitude can help improve mood, increase energy levels, relieve stress and increase motivation. So look for reasons to be grateful during the holidays, whether it’s being thankful for good health, a rewarding career, a loving family or some other positive in your life. • Pause for a moment. Remember to take a few deep, relaxing breaths throughout the day no matter how you are feeling. Even positive emotions like excitement and enthusiasm can create stress in the body, just like typical stress emotions such as anger and frustration do. That’s why it’s important to periodically do something that promotes relaxation during active times. • Make sure you get enough sleep. Your body needs its rest and a lack of sleep makes it more difficult to deal with the stressful situations you might face through the holidays. With parties to attend, travel schedules to plan and gifts to wrap, it’s easy to trim back the amount of time you normally spend sleeping. Be careful not to let that happen. • Take a walk after you eat. This works two ways for you. It helps relax you and is good exercise. A nice walk is a good way to separate yourself from the pressures you might be feeling. • Dance and laugh often. They both burn calories and help lift your mood. “We probably can’t do enough of either of these,” Hamilton says. Many people feel the need to do something for others during the holiday season, but Hamilton says it’s important to remember as you bake pies, wrap gifts or hang decorations that you also must pay attention to your own physical and mental needs. “You can’t give from an empty cup,” Hamilton said,“ self-care is a necessity, not a luxury.”

world tramp championships
Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
Warren Henderson A spot on Canada’s team at this 2015 World Trampoline and Tumbling Championships was once little more than a fantasy for Trevor Stirling. But the pipe dream turned into reality when the 20-year-old Kelowna athlete executed the performance of his young career at the nationals this summer in Calgary. Stirling placed third among all Canadian trampoline competitors to qualify for the worlds this week in Denmark. “I’m really excited, I didn’t think it was possible this year, I wasn’t sure I was going to make it,” said Stirling, a member of the Okanagan Gymnastics Centre. “But I made a big push this summer, had a great nationals, and it worked out. I’ve taken that extra step earlier than I thought, so I’m thrilled.” Stirling will be competing as a senior at worlds for the first time as the event kicks off Thursday in Odense, Denmark. He will perform two routines—the compulsory and the optional— along more than 100 of the planet’s best male trampolinists. The top 24 will move on to the semi-finals. Ideally, Stirling would like to finish in the top 50 places, but would be content with simply performing up to his potential. “I don’t really have a goal of where I’d like to place, but I’d like to score 100 points, and

Kelowna’s Trevor Stirling will compete for Canada this weekend at the world trampoline championships in Denmark. wherever that puts me, I’d be happy,” he said. “I’m going to get some experience at the highest level.” Since first trying gymnastics in 2007, Stirling proved a quick study on the trampoline, winning a world junior Pan Am title in 2010 in Daytona Beach, Fla. And thanks in large part to his commitment
to training—more than 600 hours per year in the gym—Stirling has continued to climb up the ranks of Canadian trampoline. “He’s been so dedicated since the first day I met him,” said Jamie Gardner, Stirling’s coach in Kelowna. “All he ever wanted to do is trampoline, he’s put a lot of hard work and
commitment into this. He’s worked his butt off, so if anyone deserves this, it’s Trevor.” In addition to his work ethic, Stirling’s believes his independent nature has also served him well on a trampoline. “I like the individual side of it because the success I have is all

The Kelowna Rockets have chosen a rather opportune time to be playing their best hockey of the season. The defending WHL champs will see two of the Western Conference’s other elite teams this week—the Seattle Thunderbirds will stop at Prospera Place on Wednesday night, before the Rockets head west to Victoria this weekend for a twin bill with the Royals. With eight wins in the last nine games, Kelowna (17-5-1-0) has moved into top spot in the WHL’s overall standings. The Rockets were particularly dominant in their last two games at home, beating Edmonton 6-1 on Friday and Vancouver 5-2 on Saturday. And Kelowna has been getting it done without the services of three key forwards—Rourke Chartier, Dillon Dube and Riley Stadel—as well as defenceman Lucas Johansen. “What you’ve been seeing is a team effort,” said Rockets head coach Brad Ralph. “To a man everyone has brought their best the last few games, they’re playing for each other and the result is very good team game. “You see it not only in the results,” added Ralph, “but in the way we’re attacking the net together, our team toughness and how when there are mistakes, the guys are picking each other up. This is as consistent as our team has played this season.” In the Thunderbirds, the Rockets will face
Tyson Baillie
a team on a six-game winning streak with the league’s third best overall record (15-6-1-1, .705). The ‘Birds are led by NHL first round pick Matthew Barzal (34 points) and skilled blue liner Ethan Bear (24 points). “They played the Rockets hard last season and they’re off to a great start this season,” Ralph said of Seattle. “They have some elite players and they’re on a bit of a roll right now, so it should be a great hockey game.” The Rockets will be in Victoria for games on Friday and Saturday nights. The Royals (167-1-1) are a point back of the Rockets for top spot in the Western Conference, with Kelowna holding two games in hand.

Baillie currently sits second in the WHL scoring race with 16 goals and 41 points. Head coach Brad Ralph said Baillie has pushed his game to another level. “I’m really impressed with the work ethic and drive Tyson has brought to the table,” Ralph said. “When he does that, everyone seems to rally around him and the team benefits from that. I’m happy he was rewarded and that’s a good message for him, that when he plays like he can, he’s recognized for that.” With injuries to key players, Baillie has been working on a line with Justin Kirkland and Tomas Soustal. The threesome has 18 points in the last three games.

year studying electrical engineering at UBC Okanagan. Stirling said his love for trampoline has been a big benefit to his education. “I spend a lot of time studying, so trampoline keeps me active, busy and fit outside of school,” he said. “I put a lot of my time into doing math and physics, so being in shape like I am, I think allows me to think clearer and work my way through problems.” As for the trampoline, Stirling can’t think of a better way to challenge himself, both mentally and physically. “I think that what trampoline has over a lot of other sports is that there’s no limit, never a time where you’ve learned everything,” he said. “You can add a flip to a routine, you can just keep adding one thing after another, it just never stops. “I like the challenge… and it’s a lot of fun, too.” Stirling is scheduled to arrive home from the world championships on Monday.

Warriors get set for challenging road trip The West Kelowna Warriors’ physical and mental stamina will both be put to the test this weekend as Rylan Ferster’s squad gets set for three BCHL games in three nights—all on the road. The Warriors will go stateside Thursday to take on the Wild in Wenatchee. West Kelowna will then pay a visit to the Surrey Eagles on Friday night, before travelling to Langley Saturday to take
on the Rivermen. The Warriors are looking to rebound from a 10-5 home ice loss to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Saturday night at Royal LePage Place. It was a night of struggles for Warriors netminders, as starter Keelan Williams yielded six goals on 21 shots. Brady Lenardon, up from the KIJHL’s Kelowna Chiefs, gave up four goals on nine shots. Defenceman Kristian
Blumenschein led the Warriors in the setback with a pair of goals. A night earlier, the Warriors were on their game in a 4-1 home ice win over the Vernon Vipers. Jonathan Desbiens and Quin Foreman paced the offense with two goals apiece. The Warriors (14-9-02) sit third in the Interior Division, five points back of Salmon Arm and three ahead of the Vipers.

Heat hoops teams start the season strong sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
Just six games into the season, the UBCO Heat men’s basketball team is already one win away from matching last season’s win total. The Heat won twice over Mount Royal over the weekend, increasing it’s win streak to three and record to 3-3. The Heat are a very young team that started many first year players last year, and this year that is
paying dividends. “I’d say we’re able to put some good quarters together,” head coach Pete Guarasci said of the team’s growth from last season. “We still may have the odd quarter where we fall apart on both sides of the ball, but for the most part we’re playing three or four quarters well or very well.” Guarasci noted the team has been playing some strong defensive quarters and been
much better in offensive transitions this year.
“(Winning) definitely helps, especially because

The UBC Okanagan Heat made short work of the Brandon Bobcats to push their record to 9-1 in Canada West women’s volleyball. Steve Manuel’s No. 3-ranked Heat overwhelmed the
hometown Bobcats on Friday with a sweep (2517, 25-21, 25-19) . Emily Oxland led UBC Okanagan’s attack with 35 assists and two aces, while Brianna Beamish paced the offense with 12 kills on 32 swings.
Michelle Jakszuk was efficient on offense, notching nine kills on 12 swings, good for a .667 hitting percentage. Kailin Jones had a match-high 10 digs. On Saturday, in what was essentially a repeat performance UBCO again disposed of Brandon 3-0 (25-19, 25-7, 25-18). Beamish led UBC Okanagan with nine kills on 24 attacks and an ace. Siobhan Fitzpatrick had a solid effort, recording nine kills on 23 swings. Oxland had a match-high 30 assists, while Jones and Michelle Jakszuk combined for 25 digs. “That was a really great win for us and we really worked hard,” said fifthyear middle Kay Klomps. “We are all physically tired and fought hard throughout the whole game. It was a total team
effort.” This weekend, the Heat will play a home-andhome set against their interior rivals, the TRU Wolfpack. The teams will meet Thursday night in Kamloops, then again on Saturday at Kelowna’s UBC Okanagan campus. Game time Saturday is 5 p.m.
HEAT MEN GET SPLIT
After losing handily on Friday night in Brandon, the UBC Okanagan Heat rebounded the following night to earn a weekend split in Canada West men’s volleyball. The Heat emerged with a come from behind five-set win (20-25, 2225, 25-19, 25-16, and 15-13) Saturday over the BU Bobcats. Lars Bornemann was the top scorer for the
Heat with 16 kills, while adding a match-high nine blocks. Second-year Ethan Freund stepped in for starting setter Kristof Schlagintweit and played four of the five sets against Brandon. Bornemann was the top scorer for the Heat with eight kills and 10 digs. Jim Bell, recovering from an injury, and Alex Swiatlowski added seven kills apiece in a losing cause for UBC Okanagan, now 2-8 on the Canada West season. Greg Poitras’ squad returns to action Thursday against the TRU Wolfpack in Kamloops. The teams will meet again in the back half of the home-and-home on Saturday in Kelowna.

the belief the team has in itself, and described everyone has bought into the system and it’s showing with the great enthusiasm and effort in practice. “I feel like the confidence level keeps building with each additional win,” Johnson said. “We’re just having more and more trust in each other and in our coaching staff, and it’s just really come together because we put in a lot of work during the preseason. It’s nice to be seeing glimpses of success, and we just want to keep building on it.” The women are off to Alberta to play MacEwan University in a pair of games this weekend, and it will be quite a test for the young team as the Griffins also hold a 5-1 record.

First year head coach Claire Meadows has her team off to a great start, and she noted the team has adapted very well to her new system. “It’s believing, since the beginning of the season both myself and my assistant coach Bobby (Mitchell) have been preaching just believing in the process, believing in each other and believing in each individual’s skills,” she explained. “The more and more confidence we have, we get belief.

We were mostly first years, and coming back as the same team has really helped. Starting off the way we have has really boosted our confidence.” The Heat travel to Edmonton this weekend to take on MacEwan University and its 2-4 record.

Reform Act abandoned Santa to chopper in for annual by Liberals and NDP visit to Bylands Garden Centre CHRISTMAS TRADITION
On Saturday at 11 a.m., the jolly old elf Santa Claus will be arriving by helicopter at Bylands Garden Centre to visit with the kids. I can remember when the Burnetts and the Bylands were friendly competitors in the garden centre business, and how we each welcomed Santa in our own way. Quite often our Santa would come with one of his reindeer, but we were always impressed that when he visited Bylands he came in his helicopter. For the past three decades, Santa’s arrival by helicopter has been instilling in children’s minds the magic of the Christmas season and this year will be no exception
From The Ground Up DON BURNETT as Santa and his two elf helpers will swoop down into the nursery on Byland Road in West Kelowna to greet the eagerly waiting children. Included in the celebration is cheerful live Christmas music, hot dogs and hot chocolate (proceeds to a local charity and free hayrides from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. While it’s a free event, Bylands would appreciate a small donation of a nonperishable item for
the food bank. ••• Also this weekend, on Sunday Ted Corbett’s Woodhaven Tree Farm will open for the Christmas season with a huge selection of quality home grown Christmas trees. Every year, Ted has the bonfire ablaze and the delicious hot chocolate flowing. Where else can you pick out a tree while it is still growing in the ground, have it cut, cleaned and wrapped right before your eyes? Throughout the year, Ted nurtures his thousands of trees by feeding and grooming each one as only he can do. So when you go to the farm to choose your tree, you know you will get something very special. Choose from Douglas Fir, Nordman Fir, Grand Fir, Noble Fir, Fraser Fir and my absolute favourite the Concolor Fir. To find the farm, once you turn onto MacKenzie Road in Rutland, follow the signs to 1705 Swainson Rd. For more information check out the website Woodhaventreefarms. com or call 250-8268733.
••• On a very sad note, I received news that my friend Mark Flanagan has passed away at the age of 56 due to a heart attack. This news has shocked the horticultural community in the UK and around the world. We were due to meet with him while visiting the Chelsea Flower Show next May. I was so excited about getting to meet him, as was he to address our group of enthusiastic gardeners. I will be contacting his associate Tony Kirkham, who heads up the Arboretum at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, where he has worked since 1978. The Kew Gardens is on our schedule while in London and I’m hoping Tony will be available to address our group. ••• With the cold, snowy weather forecast to hit the valley this week, I remind everyone to make sure the garden and related equipment is winterized so when warm weather returns in the spring, all will be in tip top shape. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 News Talk Sports Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m.
All the major political parties have now had their first full caucus meetings in Ottawa. These first meetings are important for a variety of reasons but one that will be material to this report is the provisions related to The Reform Act. For those of you unfamiliar with the Reform Act, it was a private member’s bill sponsored by MP Michael Chong. It proposed a number of measures to increase the power of individual MPs within their party caucus and by extension to reduce the power of the party leader. The Reform Act was widely supported by media, many pundits and locally by a large number of citizens who took the time to share their support with me. Ultimately the Reform Act, after a number of amendments, was passed by both the House of Commons and the Senate and is now law. As the 42nd Parliament is the first to convene since the Reform Act was passed, one of the legal requirements at the first caucus meeting of a party is to vote on what, if any, measures of the Reform Act would be adopted by the MPs of each party caucus. The 99-member Conservative Opposition
DAN ALBAS caucus voted to adopt two of the four measures from the Reform Act and modified a third condition. This contrasts with the Liberal government caucus, which voted to reject any measure of the Reform Act with all 184 Liberal MPs unanimously agreeing to reject the Reform Act and maintain the status quo. The NDP caucus has also announced it will not support any measures of the Reform Act. Considering that the Reform Act Passed with the overwhelming support of Liberal, Conservative and NDP MPs in the last parliamentary session, it is disappointing to see only the Conservative caucus now honour that vote following the federal election. ••• On that same theme, I would like to take a moment to thank the many veterans and citizens who gathered at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month to remember the great sacrifices of
those courageous Canadians who served so bravely. We should never forget these valiant Canadians were not drafted to serve. Our fallen and veterans made a choice to stand against tyranny and oppression and fought for the values that we must ensure we never take for granted today. ••• The House of Commons will reconvene Dec. 3 with our first order of business being the election of our next Parliament Speaker, which is widely expected to be a Liberal MP. On Friday Dec. 4, our Governor General will present the Speech from the Throne, announcing the priorities of the new Liberal federal government in the upcoming sitting and likely the parliamentary calendar will be set at that point for the remainder of the current session. Before I close this week, I would like to reiterate my thanks to the many people who have taken the time to share comments, questions and concerns with me. Your input is greatly valued. I can be reached via email at Dan.Albas@parl. gc.ca or call toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

OKANAGAN BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB
Online auction fundraiser helps support Okanagan youth
Homelessness is not usually something that crosses your mind when you think of a teenager. In 2014, more than 323 youth found themselves at the door of the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs Downtown Youth Centre in Kelowna. They were looking to access youth programs in search of a safe place to stay where they could get a healthy meal, have a shower, change their clothes, seek the support of a counsellor or adult who could provide them with some guidance or just be a kid enjoying some recreation. Chelsea, a former participant at the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs Downtown Youth Centre, shared the insight of her own experience: “At a very young age, I was introduced into a lifestyle no kid should have to be a part of. As a teenager I was taken from my mom’s drug infested
home and put into a safe house in Vancouver. “The authorities then decided I would have a better chance at a normal life living with my father here in Kelowna. “It probably wasn’t the best decision because shortly after, I was physically assaulted to the point the RCMP had to intervene. I was taken from the home and brought to the Downtown Youth Centre Shelter. “My first night in the shelter was nerve wracking. I was embarrassed about why I was brought there and kept very quiet for most of the night. “The staff quickly changed my feelings of embarrassment into comfort explaining I was in good hands and that everything would be fine. “For the first time in a long time I didn’t feel scared of my surroundings and I had
the staff to thank for that. “From that point on the staff worked persistently with me, providing me with tools and resources helping me learn skills to discover, grow and realize my dreams. “I am not going to say I made their jobs easy because I didn’t. I fought everything they said for a very long time. I grew up with the people surrounding me not caring about my wellbeing and maybe that’s why I fought them so hard. “They showed me they weren’t going away, and they cared. All of the services provided made me feel like family. “Their care, guidance, and support have helped mold me into the person I am today and honestly without having those resources to utilize as an at-risk youth, there is no telling where I would be today as I had nowhere
else to go.” Chelsea wrote this on the last day of her youth centre practicum. The following week she graduated from the administrative assistant program from Okanagan College with honours. It takes each and every one of us to help support our kids. The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs host their 3rd annual Online Auction supporting youth at risk in the Central Okanagan. All proceeds from items purchase will go directly back to supporting the next Chelsea who comes seeking shelter or help from the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club. Bidding on the auction items started Nov. 23 and continues until Nov. 27. Visit the website www.32auctions.com/ OBGC3rdAnnual to see what auction items are up for bids.
Helping kids who are homeless is at the heart of the third annual Online Auction fundraiser for the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club.

New direct flight service to Victoria launched
November 23 marked the launch of Pacific Coastal Airlines’ (PASCO) new non-stop service between Kelowna and Victoria. The flights will operate seven days a week using a Saab 340 aircraft. Flights will operate twice a day Monday to Friday, and once a day on Saturday and Sunday. “We know there is a significant market opportunity for this new route,” said Sam Samaddar, director for
Kelowna International Airport (YLW ). “This route will greatly serve both business and leisure travelers.” As part of the launch, Greater Westside Board of Trade will host a Kelowna-Victoria business exchange, where regional businesses and organizations will discuss ways to make the new service as strong and vibrant as possible. “We recognize that it will take both communities to foster and
grow this new service,” said Samaddar. “We want to ensure this new route succeeds, and we can only do that with the support of our tourism, business and political partners.” With the establishment of this new service, PASCO has chosen to set up a permanent base at YLW, which includes the hiring of six new staff. “This is a significant move for Pacific Coastal Airlines,” said Jenelle Hynes, PASCO’s business
development and customer service manager for the Okanagan Kootenay region and YLW base supervisor. “We’re strongly committed to the Okanagan and we think that the region will really benefit from this new base.” Passengers can make reservations on the airline’s website at pacificcoastal.com, by phoning the call centre at 1-800-663-2872 or through a local travel agency.

Cost of mental health care
I recently read an article Healing Minds about a U.S. national survey PAUL conducted LATIMER during the summer with some interesting results concerning people’s perceptions of mental health care in that country. Just over 2,000 people aged 18 and older completed this survey for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention and 90 percent of them said they viewed physical and mental health as equally important. This is an encouraging finding and shows some progress has been made in battling stigma surrounding mental illness and its treatment. It has not been many years since a large segment of society viewed mental illness and mental health care with suspicion. A third of those surveyed said they had been diagnosed with a mental health condition at some point but almost half (47percent) said they thought they may have had a mental health condition. More than 10 percent said they had missed work due to anxiety or
depression. Buti n spite of the prevalence of mental health issues and the perception of its importance, more than 40 per cent said they thought mental health care is not affordable for most people and 31 per cent viewed it as not accessible. On the topic of suicide, more than half of respondents said they were affected by suicide in some way. A majority said they believed measures to improve affordability and access to care; training for health care providers; research; and education could help to reduce the number of suicides. Now although this is an American survey and it’s easy to brush off issues of affordability and access when comparing our countries, I believe these perceptions are quite prevalent in Canada as well. I often speak with people who say they delayed treatment for their mental illness because they thought they would not be able
to afford it. Many are still surprised when I explain that psychiatric care is covered in our basic provincial health care. This indicates we still have some distance to go in raising awareness about mental health care here in Canada. This is not to say we have no issues with affordability or access here. Although visits with a psychiatrist are covered by our MSP, prescription medication is often only covered for those with extended health care plans. Many of the newer medications take years to be included in Pharmacare benefits in BC. When psychiatric medication is needed, it can be quite expensive. We do have some prescription coverage for low income Canadians, but costs for even regular working Canadians can be prohibitive in some cases. Psychological testing may not be covered or easily accessible and counseling services are often not covered. We have room for improvement when it comes to mental health care affordability and access.

The cost per family is $20 and tickets are available at the door. As for the Dec. 5 concert, originally written over 250 years ago for Easter, Handel’s Messiah burst onto the stage at Dublin’s Musick Hall on April 13, 1742. That first audience was more than 700 attendees as women had been asked to wear dresses “without hoops” in order to make “room for more company.” Handel was already an esteemed musician but his Messiah will stand forever as a testimony to his abilities as a great composer. Ticket prices for the Dec. 5 performance are $30 adults; $20 students and can be purchased at Wentworth Music, Keystone Music and Mosaic Books.

André-Philippe Gagnon
Gagnon performed his version of “We Are The World,” the fundraiser anthem written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie which was recorded by various music artists at the time in support of the USA for Africa. The after-effects of Gagnon’s television performance, reaching an audience of 15 million viewers, were immediate. His impressionist act is unique for his specialized talent in impersonating the singing voices of celebrities, as opposed to his contemporaries, who typically can do only the speaking voices. That Tonight Show appearance served as a launching pad for his music singing impersonation career that has spanned 30 years.

Seniors AGING GRACEFULLY
Gifts of imperfection: Courage, compassion, connection Seniors’ Concerns MARJORIE HORNE stage of life. It doesn’t mean we have to answer the call, but the ringing of that bell can become quite deafening if we choose to keep ignoring it. Brené Brown, an author and researcher on all aspects of shame and vulnerability, answered the bell as she came to realize that the stories she was hearing from her many interviews during her research process were simply reflecting the many doubts, fears and insecurities that she felt on a daily basis in her own life. We always think other people have got their act together in a way that seems illusive to ourselves. It seems that their lives are seemingly running so much more smoothly, perhaps because they are able to hold it all together to a seeming perfection that is wildly competitive to our own inner battlefield of emotions and judgments, mostly of ourselves. Brené defines shame as the “intense feeling that we are unworthy of love.” Where does it come from? It is made up of different ingredients for each of us. There may be very traumatic incidents held from childhood and beyond. Or it may come from a series of smaller events that have led to the development of our own particular dialogue or storytelling to ourselves that we are never good
enough. This results in the perennial question being posed: “Who do you think you are?” It comes up every time we venture into taking a step towards realizing our dreams or using our innate inner gifts in a way that makes us feel very happy. Brené says there are three things that help shame to grow experientially—secrecy, silence and judgment. She has discovered both through her research and her own exploration of herself that “empathy heals shame.” When we share our insecurities with someone else, allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, and that person in turn shows empathy towards us, shame is dissolved and released. I don’t think aging and years of experience automatically heals this for us, but it is rather our willingness to take a path of acceptance of the imperfections that we each have and to then also stop our judgments
of others and their imperfections. The saying “nobody’s perfect” really is true. When we have an intention to let go of projecting our feelings of unworthiness onto others and take ownership that this is coming from within us, the journey really begins. It does not matter what age you are. Despite having read countless books and taken every personal growth workshop there is, it was not until I experienced the intimate process of caring for my own mom as she was coming to her death that I really stated unequivocally to the universe that I wanted to change. She acted as a mirror for me and through giving her compassion, it led me to some very honest reflection about where I was heading and that perhaps I might want to look at the path that I was on. Caregiving can really be an opportunity for transformation in the most unexpected ways. So back to the gift of a new friend that was presented from

I am sure you have all met someone that you instantly felt a deep connection with. A person where the usual progression of developing a friendship seems to get thrown out the window and you are suddenly in a profound joining that has a familiarity and closeness that defies logic. I had this experience a couple of months ago and I have spent some time pondering why this occurs, referencing the unfolding of this gift of a wonderful new female friend that was presented to me from the cauldron of sweet, magical happenings. In my work developing the substance of Graceful Aging: A Path to Elderhood, I began a soulful exploration of my own journey into the unfolding years of my 60s and how this was affecting my sense of self and my relationship with the world. This willingness, or I might say courage, to explore how to attain a deeper sense of connection required a move from being focused on external signposts of how I was doing and moving instead to internally understanding what I was honestly feeling about myself. It became a discovery of determining what choices and actions would support my own selfworth in an inspiring way, rather than continuing to worry about what other people thought of me and what I did or how I performed. It’s a wake-up call that I think many of us are presented with as we approach or move well into our aging in the third

the cauldron of sweet, magical happenings. It relates to Brené Brown’s expression that “we are only as liberated as our secrets.” The gift of someone with whom you can share a soul connection, no matter how long you have known them, is magical because they illicit a sense of trust that offers you the permission to share your authentic self. You share your secret insecurities and doubts, your realizations of your warts and weaknesses and they look back at you

with love and empathy. It’s an energy thing. It is unmistakable in its acceptance and how it liberates you from the shame that binds you.

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy
W
hether you are an athlete, in your golden years of retirement, or the typical person on your feet all day at work, you know there’s nothing more debilitating than a knee injury. Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee). As well, arthritis plagues many and often results in knee replacement surgery. And unfortunately, many knee surgery patients (due to ligament or cartilage tears) frequent our office.
tendon, binding the knee and often creating soft tissue pain. For the past four years I have been using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to treat these conditions, because shockwave therapy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates blood vessel growth to restore muscle function and promote healing. The Journal of Surgical Research 2012 showed ESWT is effective in preventing knee arthritis. In The American Journal Of Sports Medicine 2007, 90% showed significant improvement in patellar tendonitis. Furthermore, The Archives of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery 2007 showed significant reduction in the progression of knee arthritis (ESWT stimulates cells to produce cartilage). Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.
DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic
Each of these injuries comes with its own set of obstacles when treating with conventional methods: tendonitis can create fibrous adhesions and scar tissue that disrupts the normal function of the muscle; arthritis erodes the cartilage, decreasing the joint space; and surgery, although often necessary, creates scar tissue on the surrounding muscle and

Divorce is not a matter of fault Monica McParland Contributor
In Canada, we have what is commonly referred to as a ‘no fault’ divorce system. Although there are still two fault-based grounds for divorce available, in practical terms it doesn’t matter whether or not one spouse wronged the other spouse. Under the Divorce Act, a spouse applying for a divorce must show the court that there has been a breakdown of the marriage. A breakdown of the marriage can either be established by the parties living separate and apart for one year, or if the spouse against who the divorce is sought has either committed adultery or has committed physical or emotional cruelty such that continued cohabitation has become intolerable. Many separating spouses may feel that they have been subjected to cruelty or have learned that their spouse has cheated on them and want their ex to pay for it. While both scenarios are devastating, both can be quite hard to prove in court. The court must be satisfied of the cruelty or adultery based on a preponderance of probability. The innocent spouse would need affidavit evidence in which one of the adulterers admits the transgression, or to provide specific and compelling evidence of cruelty, corroborated by a third party. Pursuing these avenues will invariably take longer and incur higher legal fees and the only advantage of doing so is that in theory the divorce order may be granted prior to the expiry of one year. Therefore I often tell my clients, “It doesn’t matter whose fault it is!” Even when infidelity or cruelty has occurred, the vast majority of divorces in Canada proceed on the

New Kindermusik program offered in Central Okanagan Kindermusik classes provide fun music and movement activities to foster brain development in babies and young children, while helping them bond with parents After completing a comprehensive training program that incorporates education in child development and music concepts from Kindermusik International, Molly Gerrard has received her Kindermusik license and has opened a studioat the MOGA yoga facility, 3-1745 Spall Rd. in Kelowna. “I am a special education teacher by
trade and when I had my daughter I wanted to revamp my career and stay at home with my daughter which Kindermusik has allowed me to do. I have classes every Wednesday at the MOGA studios. I am teaching children zero to three in three different age group classes,” Gerrard said. Now trained to tap into the different developmental stages and learning styles of children, Gerrard is poised to bring the joys of music and movement to the children and families of Kelowna and West Kelowna. Since 1978, more than
two million families in over 70 countries have enjoyed Kindermusik music and movement classes, beginning as early as their first infant months. Classes involve a mixture of singing, instrument play, dancing and movement, storytime, and other activities that help children and their families discover how music can enrich their lives and lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. For more information about the Kindermusik program started by Molly Gerrard, contact her at 250-863-6151.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN OF PRIME INTEREST
Benefits of a second mortgage A second mortgage is a great option to access equity in your home without having to break your existing mortgage term. It allows the existing first mortgage to remain as is and avoid any prepayment penalties. There are two second mortgage options. One is a line of credit. It is limiting as a line of credit is only available for up to 65 per cent of the value of your home and the qualification requirements can be challenging. The second option is a private lender who will grant a second mortgage up to 85 per cent of your home’s value. When we refer to the 65 and 85 per cent values of your home, we are taking into consideration your existing first mortgage. As an example, a $500,000 home value will allow for 65 per cent on a credit line—$325,000. Any existing first mortgage subtracted from the $325,000 and the balance is what is available to you as a line of credit. For the 85 per cent second mortgage, that would be $425,000 less the existing first mortgage. A home equity line of credit is currently available at prime plus 0.5 per cent resulting in a floating rate 3.2 per cent. A second mortgage will be substantially higher and will involve a fee. Private second mortgages usually range from nine per cent and up, but keep in mind second mortgages are typically smaller amounts and payments are interest only. If you are accessing the equity in your home to pay off credit card debt at 20 per cent, it puts that rate into perspective. The benefit of a private second mortgage is it is typically easier to qualify for and if your equity does not allow for a line a credit it is definitely an option to consider. Private lenders tend to be much more flexible with requirements for qualifying with the emphasis on your property value. A private lender is not a bank. As such, private lenders are not governed by typical bank rules and can therefore lend more money and ask for less qualifying documents and charge higher renewal or payout penalties. This information is disclosed to you and we do recommend you work with a mortgage broker who will fully explain the terms and fees involved. A second mortgage is best as a short-term financing solution where you need access to equity in your home and all other avenues have been exhausted. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-4117; Christine Hawkins, 250-826-2001; and Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324.
There are some advantages to real estate shopping in the winter.
CONTRIBUTED
Winter shopping for a home Consider this: It’s a cold winter day and you’ve just sat down with a mortgage professional to figure out how much house you can afford. You’ve determined that your finances are in order and you’re ready to start looking for a home. You’ve heard that spring is the best season for buying and selling real estate.
Does that mean you’ll need to put your search on hold until the tulips start to bloom? “If you’ve worked out what you can afford and you’re ready for the home buying process, then shopping for real estate can happen at any time of year,” said Pat Verge, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association.
“While spring and fall are busier times for real estate sales, a serious home buyer should be looking out for potential homes as long as they’re ready to make a purchase. “It can sometimes take many months to find the right property.” If you are planning to shop for real estate during the winter, these are a few
things to bear in mind: Supply: There may be fewer homes to choose from, but of the homes available for sale you may have less competition to deal with when making an offer. Weather: The homes you visit may already be covered with snow which may hide exterior defects; ask to see photographs of the home taken earlier in
the year and rely on a home inspector to tell you about any potential faults. Make time: The process for buying a home and the paperwork that follows is time consuming. Try to keep your other priorities organized so that you are ready to act if a home that you are interested in comes up. For more information see wedothehomework.ca.
Stocking stuffers that help reduce energy bill Here are some Santa-approved gift suggestions to help save energy in you home for the year ahead: : • LED or CFL light bulbs
• power bar with integrated timer or auto-shutoff • faucet aerator. • cold water laundry detergent
• plugs for unused electrical outlets (up to 20 per cent of the air leakage in your home can happen through outlets)
• battery powered radio in case of power outages • tea towels to dry dishes instead of using the dry function on the dishwasher
• window insulating kit (up to 13 per cent of air leakages in your home can occur through windows) • lighting timers.

Kenneth William Krogel 1937 - 2015 Ken went home to be with the Lord Wednesday, November 11, 2015 in Vernon Jubilee Hospital where he received excellent, compassionate care from all who attended him. From a small boy, Ken had a passion for music. He learned to play the trumpet and did so excellently, he also taught himself to play the saxophone. He spent many happy years with bands, the last being “The Classics” who were well known throughout the Valley. Ken was warm and friendly, enjoyed being with people and would also start a conversation whether he knew you or not. He had a great sense of humour, loved telling jokes and teasing. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife Trixie, his children Laureen, Sharon, Gordon (Carrie) & Robert (Beate), his brother Donald, four grandchildren and two nephews and many friends. A private gathering was held on November 17th at Lakeview Memorial Gardens. “Ken, you flew away to a land where joys will never end. ‘Hallelujah’.” A Celebration of Life Service will be held in the spring. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services, Vernon.
