Local NDP not united behind leader

Looking for a sugar daddy Local farm for the disabled cooks up a Winter Wonderland in hopes of attracting a kindly donor.

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

To describe the Arion Therapeutic Riding Farm as an overnight success would be both accurate and incredibly misleading.

On one hand, visionary Heather Henderson has managed a near meteoric build, finding a farm, 17 horses and a small army of volunteers to run the ever-expanding string of programs it offers for all manner of disability and age range.

There are young disabled adults on federal funding grants learning work and social skills on the property as farm help, and a couple of people suffering from severe trauma who spend time with the goats to ease their nerves.

Calls from within the NDP caucus for the ouster of party leader Carol James have left two of the three local NDP riding presidents shaking their heads in frustration while the third refused to comment due to what he calls a 50-50 split on his riding executive about their beleaguered party leader.

Karen Abramsen, with the NDP’s Westside-Kelowna riding constituency, and Tisha Kalmanovich, with Kelowna-Mission, say they thought the issue of James’ leadership was dealt with last week when the leader received an 84 per cent vote of confidence from the party’s provincial council.

In that vote the Westside-Kelowna and Kelowna-Mission delegates voted for James, while the delegate representing Kel-

“It’s really a one stop shop for the whole spectrum of disability,” said Henderson, noting the families she works with constantly worry about their child’s future.

“They want to know, what’s going to happen to my child (as an adult)?” she said.

Henderson believes a properly funded, sustainable facility like the one she has created could hold the answers.

It’s a place where people with disabilities can learn and work and find a life path that keeps them happy and productive at any stage of life, she says.

In 22-year-old Vernita-Jane LaHue’s case, this means offering her the sponsorship she needs to make a run for the 2012 Paralympic team in dressage.

VERNITA-JANE LAHUE and her horse KitKat are well on their way to the Paralympics thanks to the generosity of the Arion Riding Farm, but the farm itself needs help to keep the effort going.

▼ TRANSIT

Plan needs Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s transit system is a work in progress.

Once the cause of laments about efficiency, a recent flood of funding shaped it into something much closer to the commuter service the public demanded.

And during an unveiling of a rolling, polling machine, dedicated to finding out how local transit users would like to see the system improve even more, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick said it’s only going to get better.

“It’s a progression,” Letnick said Thursday afternoon while standing in front of the Transit Future bus that’s rolling through the community, equipped with iPads that collect transit users’ say.

“This consultation process is key to successful planning for the transit system we will need for tomorrow.”

Manuel Achadinha,

president and CEO of BC Transit, pointed out that public input on the transportation has already had an impact on the way the system is used.

As of Jan. 2 the Pandosy/UBCO express will provide service during peak commuter hours during the weekdays and a new HandiDart line will also been added.

“Rapid transit in Kelowna has been a huge success,” Achadihna said.

“Usually when we add a new line, we expect to sell 10 to 15 per cent more rides. In Kelowna ridership increased by 25 per cent in the last few months.

“That shows people will take the system or service if it meets their needs.”

While there’s been plenty of success, Achadihna said there’s also room to grow as only a small fraction of the community uses public transit.

Turning that tide will be a huge component of the long-term transit plan

BC TRANSIT president and CEO Manuel Achadincha, demonstrates a public consultation game on board a specially-equipped bus traveling around the province gathering feedback for transit’s 25 year master plan. that will be drafted in January.

“In order to increase ridership in the next 25 years, we must continue to work toward out goal of making transit more simple, direct and frequent,” Achadihna said.

That was a sentiment echoed by new Kelowna resident Jim Stewart.

Having moved to the city from Vancouver just a month ago, he said he was pleasantly surprised by the fact there was a transit network and has already used it once.

“My wife doesn’t drive, so it’s a necessity,” he said. “We bought a house near Gordon, and now she can take the bus

downtown. Most small towns make the mistake of urban sprawl, and don’t have this kind of system, so this is great news for us.”

Stops on the Transit Future bus are: Thursday, Dec. 2 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.—UBCO Friday, Dec. 3 from 2 p.m. to 6 pm—West Ke-

lowna Exchange Thursday, Dec. 9 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.—Peachland IGA Marketplace Friday, Dec. 10 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.—Lake Country Municipal Hall Saturday, Dec. 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.— Save On Foods, Orchard Plaza kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Candlelight walk reminder to end violence against women On Dec. 6, 1989, one man opened fire and killed 14 young women just because they were women in what came to be known in Canada as the Montreal Massacre.

Two years later, Dec. 6 was declared the Nation-

al Day of Remembrance & Action to End Violence Against Women.

On Monday (Dec. 6), Kelowna citizens will again have an opportunity to come together to commemorate the day of remembrance.

Participants will meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Springvalley Elementary School, 470 Ziprick Rd., for the candlelight walk to the Mindy Tran Memorial Site at Mission Creek Regional Park.

Roses will be laid in

memory of local women and the 14 women of the Montreal Massacre who have been murdered by men.

In 1991, the Rose Dedication Ceremony was initiated with a memorial list of approximately 20

names. That list has since grown to include more than 60 names.

Over the years, the Kelowna Women’s Resource Centre along with this community has used this day to demonstrate its commitment to support

the prevention of violence against women.

“Violence Against women is one of the most prevalent issues that affect women accessing our centre,” said Micki Smith, the resource centre executive director.

The Kelowna Rockets have re-signed head coach Ryan Huska to a new three year contract that will keep Huska behind the Rockets’ bench through the 2013-14 Western Hockey League season.

The Rockets announced the contract extension Thursday afternoon.

Huska is in his fourth season as the Rockets head coach after beginning as an assistant coach with Kelowna in 2002-03.

This year, he is also an assistant for Team Canada’s World Junior team.

“We’re thrilled to have this done and out of the way before the World Junior tournament,” said Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton.

“Ryan has had great success and we’re very happy he wants to stay here and continue to develop as a coach.”

Adam says he’s trying to get an understanding of the trade-offs people will make, such as between options of fishing quality,

The idea is to provide a rewarding fishing experience for everyone.

He travelled around the Okanagan this summer, meeting people and becoming familiar with the area, as well as handing out intercept surveys and recruiting people to do the full survey.

The more responses he can get, the better the quality of results he can provide to the society.

To qualify, go to: www.okfishingstudy.rem. sfu.ca when you have about 20 minutes to spare and fill out the survey.

One thing he learned while here last summer was that people love fishing in the Okanagan but they would like to see simpler regulations.

He says the survey has been immensely interesting to do, and it was quite a challenge to develop it, but his project supervisor, Haider, has years of experience in this type of survey.

Analyzing the results will also be interesting, and he hopes to complete that by this summer.

Surveying is essential as a basis for good resource management decisions.

But it’s normally an activity carried out by the environment ministry as the scientific foundation on which licensing decisions are made.

However, ministries such as health and education have bled the resource ministries dry in recent years, and environment is a shell of its former self, with a budget that’s just a fraction of its historic amount.

That’s led to situations like this, and to this month’s efforts by local fish and game clubs to chip in the money to have critical wildlife surveys conducted so the facts are available to the ministry for making decisions.

The last moose survey done in this region was 11 years ago, so decisions in recent years have had to be made based on anecdotal evidence, harvest data and conjecture.

Ministry wildlife biologist Brian Harris admits he’d like to do aerial surveys every three years, but

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

ANGLERS, like this one on a local mountain lake, are being asked to participate in a survey this weekend to help improve angler satisfaction. Wildlife surveys are also underway in the Okanagan, but government cutbacks have limited them. such flights can cost more than $1,000 an hour.

Well-respected local biologist Les Gyug has been contracted to coordinate and conduct the moose survey, at the expense of local outdoors enthusiasts and a donation from Wildcat Helicopters in West Kelowna.

The results will go to the fish and wildlife branch, which is no longer in the environment ministry, but in the Natural Resource Operations Ministry.

While local hunters and anglers are to be commended for putting their money where their mouth is, (yes, there have been complaints about the basis for allocations decisions in recent years), it seems to me this is a basic activity that should be part of the provincial government budget since that’s where the license revenue

goes.

Right now, the money from basic hunting, angling and trapping licenses goes into general revenue instead of back into paying for proper management of the resource—and that’s something that should change.

That said, the ministry has found the money to do some wildlife surveys, including over Okanagan Mountain Park where a total of 63 California bighorns were counted.

Two transplants from

the Keremeos area repopulated the park with wild sheep after the wildfire of 2003 improved the habitat for ungulates.

Harris says the numbers are up, but not up as much as he had hoped, so either they missed a pocket of the animals or the two herds aren’t increasing as hoped.

He noted that the two herds remain separate, even though there is movement by rams throughout the park.

Interestingly, this was also the highest count of elk ever, at 150 animals, Brian reports, and 23 mountain goats.

And, they stopped counting mule deer when they got into the hundreds, although there were no whitetails.

STEAKS SO TENDER YOU’LL FREAK!

T-BONE’S Hunters make up for funding shortfall FRESH HOTTEST PRICE OF THE YEAR Crab Legs ▟ MOOSE COUNT

Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Concerned about lack of ministry funding for conducting moose counts on which to base decisions about hunting regulations, members of local fish and wildlife clubs have come up with the money to begin a survey this week.

Aerial surveys have to be done by helicopter and can take weeks to do in more than one area, so they’re very expensive. “Decisions should be based on science, not speculation,� commented Al Springer of Peachland, treasurer for the Okanagan Region of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, which 16 Okanagan-area clubs belong to. “The clubs have never had to do this before, but we didn’t realize the situation was this bad. We thought decisions (on resource management) were being made based on science. “So, we decided to help out, and get the information that’s needed to make sound decisions,� he commented.

Hunting regulations for moose in Region 8, the Okanagan, changed this year to reflect biologists’ concerns about reduced populations, and many hunters complained about the reduced opportunities.

The harvest season was reduced this year to after the rut, when fewer animals are moving around, competing for mates, and it was shortened, explained Springer.

There was also a reduction in the opportunities for hunting on the Limited Entry Hunting basis, a lottery system for hunting tags, often outside the regular open season. “We just want to know what’s out there. If there really are fewer moose out there, then that’s fine. But, if there are more, then we’d like to see changes

A CREW PREPARES to go up and do a count of moose in the Okanagan Region

for the Natural Resource Operations ministry, which will be paid for by local fish and game clubs because of government cutbacks. Counting will be retired conservation officer Greg Hoyer, left and CO Jim Beck, while biologist Les Gyug, back, will navigate and record, for pilot Jacob Pittman, right, of Wildcat Helicopters, which has offered a much-reduced rate to help out the cause. in the regulations,� said Springer.

He said the ministry did a count in the Kootenays recently and found three times the number of animals they’d estimated.

Spotters have been arranged by Jesse Zeman of Winfield, who chairs the wildlife committee for the Okanagan Region, and include staff from local ministry offices, including conservation officers, biologists and others, as well as some volunteers from clubs.

Organizer of the count is biologist Les Gyug of West Kelowna, who has considerable experience doing wildlife counts for the ministry and knows the requirements.

He’s hoping the weather will permit them to complete the counts before Christmas because later than that and moose are beginning to lose their antlers until spring, so it’s much more difficult to identify them by sex and age.

At this time of year,

snow on the ground makes it fairly easy to notice the large, dark animals, and while the snow is soft and not crusted, they’re more likely to be out in the open where they can be more easily spotted.

Wildlife biologist Brian Harris, with the new Natural Resource Operations ministry, says they do two types of scientific wildlife surveys.

A classification survey is an indicator of numbers and is done by flying directly to areas where

it’s known there are high moose numbers.

Then transects are flown and each counted by sex and age, in order to evaluate the impact of current hunting regulations.

A stratified random block survey is more rigorous and formal and results in a population estimate.

Only the moose that are seen are counted, and tracks don’t count. It’s more expensive to do and requires more air time.

Both are being done

this month in the Okanagan, in as many areas as funding will allow. “The local sportsmen’s clubs don’t trust my estimates for moose,� commented Harris.

This dual purpose survey will confirm or refute his population estimates, and hunting regulations will be refined based on the results, he said.

He admitted that such surveys have always been the role of government before, but he said the money simply isn’t there to do them now.

Springer said the more money they can raise, the more wide-ranging, accurate and reliable a count they can do.

At present, they’ve raised about $20,000, but $50,000 would permit far more work to be done.

▼ SCHOOL BUS SAFETY

RSS students collaborate with police on new PSAs Barry Gerding EDITOR

Too often students’ lives are put at risk because of impatient drivers unwilling to wait for a school bus to load or unload passengers.

So, with the encouragement of the Kelowna RCMP, film production class students at Rutland Senior Secondary put their video talents together to produce two public service announcements.

The message for each PSA is simple: It takes 30 seconds for a school bus to load or unload. Is that too long to wait rather than risk someone’s life by trying to cut around the stopped bus?

“We live in an instant society afforded by technology, instant messaging, high speed Internet, fast food…Could it be that our ever-increasing pace of life is giving rise to impatience, intolerance and expectation? Can we not agree that a child’s life is worth waiting 30 sec-

onds for?”

Those comments were made Monday by Kelowna RCMP Const. Steve Holmes during a press conference to announce the completion of the PSAs, each 30 seconds in length. They are set to be broadcast locally, beginning in January.

Holmes said police receive one to two complaints every school day about drivers who ignore the red stop signs posted by buses while students are getting on or off the bus.

Those complaints, he said, are followed up and the registered owner of the vehicle is given a ticket with a fine of $167.

While there have been no recent serious accidents caused by drivers illegally passing a school bus, Holmes said 70 tickets for that violation were handed out in 2009 and about 100 are expected to be issued by the end of this year.

“The question you have to ask is: ‘Is 30 seconds worth a life?’” Hol-

mes asked.

Tawni Duhamel, one of the students on the production crew for the videos, said near misses getting on or off the bus is a regular point of discussion in her school’s hallways.

“Students feel like they are putting themselves in danger getting in and out of the school bus at times,” Duhamel said.

“So students have to be aware as well.”

Duhamel said the videos allow students to use modern filmmaking technology to help send an important safety message out to both drivers and their fellow students.

Jordan Choo, who graduated from RSS last spring and helped edit the two PSAs, said they set aside a weekend to shoot the videos after working for weeks on storyboarding the scenes.

“We intended to take a weekend for the filming and we were actually done in just over four hours which was amazing, “ Choo said.

driver safety around school buses, includes (from left) RSS grad Jordan Choo, Grade 12 students Erik WilliamsWhittlaw and Tawni Duhamel, and RSS film program instructor Brent Applegarth.

Brent Applegath, the RSS instructor of filmmaking, said he was proud of the quality of production carried out by his students.

“I am the producer but once we had a plan in place of what we were going to do, the students carry through on it and, I might be bias here, but I

think they did a fantastic job,” Applegath said.

“Film is the literature of youth today. The live and know media communication inside and out on a daily basis and they are very media savvy.”

Applegath’s students have previously done PSAs for Crime Stoppers and for a BCAA dry

grad promotion initiative, and would be eager to do more if financial support was available.

Besides the RCMP, the Central Okanagan Regional District and School District 23 were also partners in the bus safety PSAs. Holmes said the RSS students’ efforts are all

about preventing a needless accident from happening that might claim the life of a child.

“I would never want to be the parent that has to hear that my child has been killed in a way that could have been avoided had the right choice been made,” Holmes said. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

TRACS sends rabbits home for the holidays

THANK YOU KELOWNA

Humane trapping of homeless rabbits in Mission Creek Park is underway.

In early November, TRACS signed a contract with the Regional District of the Central Okanagan and soon afterward began the job of capturing and sterilizing the free-roam-

ing bunnies.

TRACS (The Responsible Animal Care Society) now has 17 rabbits from the park. Their goal is to bring the rest of them to safety by Christmas.

The animals are being placed in large, secure pens maintained by volunteers, and they are also

You are the Best Fans in the World!

TRACS has invited our animal-friendly community to play an active part in promoting the safety and well-being of the rabbits caught in Mission Creek Park.

These recent captures will bring the numbers of rabbits in TRACS’ care to nearly 750.

Far Infrared Portable Furnaces

▼ POLITICS

Party infighting frustrating to local members NDP from A1 owna-Lake Country abstained because of riding executive split.

“Because of the split, I can’t make a comment,” said constituency delegate Matthew Reed on Thursday.

But Reed said despite the furor raised by veteran NDP MLA Jenny Kwan’s demand for James to step down, interest is still high in both James’ planned appearance Sunday in Kelowna at a town-hall type meeting and a party fundraiser planned for later that night. The meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Capri Hotel.

But while Reed was reticent to comment, Abramsen said she is frustrated by Kwan’s twopage statement, released to the media Wednesday.

“The people from the grassroots have already spoken and in my mind this party is ruled by the grassroots,” said Abramsen. “I just shake my head at all this and I feel very frustrated.”

Abramsen added she is not happy with the current infighting her party is experiencing, infighting that is squandering the chance the NDP has to capitalize on the current low popularity of the governing Liberals.

Kalmanovich, who ran for the NDP in Kelowna-Mission in the last provincial election and who is the NDP candidate here

for the next federal election, said James deserves credit for the work she has done leading the party back from its dark days following the 2001 election.

In that election, just two NDP MLAs, Kwan and the now retired Joy MacPhail, were elected. The NDP caucus now stands at 34.

“I think (James) deserves something better,” said Kalmanovich. “But it serves to remind us that politics can be a blood sport.”

Calling the move to unseat James as leader “a bit reckless,” Kalmanovich added there appears to be a gender issue at play.

She believes much of the opposition to James is coming from male members of the party, despite it being Kwan who penned the statement to the media.

“A lot of the talk has been coming from the male contingent but they want the women to front this,” she said.

Yesterday, in response to Kwan’s accusations, James called for an emergency meeting of her caucus and the NDP provincial executive to hold dissident MLAs “accountable for their behaviour.”

Responding to Kwan’s attack on her leadership, James refused to consider stepping down. But she also avoided ejecting Kwan from the NDP

caucus, as she did in October to Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson, after his much milder criticism of her seven-year term as leader.

James told a news conference in Vancouver on Thursday the 84 per cent vote of confidence she was given by the party’s provincial council Nov. 20 was a clear mandate to continue her leadership.

The 13 current MLAs defying her are ignoring the will of the party membership, James said.

“We will be holding an emergency caucus meeting in the next few days, where we will take an opportunity to talk about the behaviour of caucus members, to talk about uniting around the direction we have been given by our party, and more importantly, to remember who we are here to govern for,” James said.

Kwan, who nominated James to be party leader in 2003, issued a statement Wednesday that condemned James and called for a one-member, one-vote leadership contest “as soon as possible.”

Kwan said James avoids controversy by avoiding decisions, which has led to declining public support despite the B.C. Liberals’ plunging popularity over the harmonized sales tax.

She also denounced the “backroom deal” to pay party president Moe Sihota from union funds.

Kwan said the party risks losing the next election. James countered that the future of the NDP as a viable party is at stake if elected members don’t maintain discipline.

Those MLAs who have refused to indicate support or signaled their dissatisfaction with James’ leadership are Kwan, Doug Routley, Katrine Conroy, Mike Sather, Harry Lali, Lana Popham, Leonard Krog, Claire Trevena, Norm Macdon-

ald, Robin Austin, Gary Coons, Nicholas Simons and Guy Gentner.

The expulsion of Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson in October reduced the NDP caucus to 34 members. The B.C. Liberal caucus stands at 46, after Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett was expelled in November and Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom quit in June.

until quite recently.

Before arriving at the farm last winter, $700 went out the door for rent from her $900 monthly income and she wasn’t even riding, let alone competing.

With only half a spine, basic things like snow can be hard on LaHue, who is otherwise confined to an electric wheelchair.

So the farm, and all it offers, is pretty critical to her success.

Unfortunately, despite the whirlwind energy of Henderson and a dedicated board of directors, the society’s financial picture has not kept pace with the vision.

“People associate horses with money,” said Henderson. “And normally that’s true, but here it’s just not the case.”

She believes major donors write off the facility as a place where kids can take riding lessons and don’t see the infinite supports and potential the farm can give the entire community; but she isn’t willing to give up.

KITKAT gives a friendly nuzzle and gets a kiss from Vernita-Jane Lahue.

This season, the volunteers were out selling poinsettia plants to raise money and Saturday morning they will host a huge Christmas celebration aimed at raising a few dollars—and catching a few eyes.

Henderson and her board of directors are also really hoping the sweet smell of the gingerbread cookies baked by local high school and middle school resource rooms and the temptation of a moment on Santa’s knee will attract a flamboyant donor ready to pony up some big bucks.

“We need a sugar daddy,” said Henderson, with a twinkle in her eye.

Despite continuing efforts to locate a suspected leak in the refrigeration system, the contractor and sub-trades that installed the underground system have not yet found the source of the problem.

Until the nature of the problem in the system is known, the system cannot make ice.

▼ OUR VIEW

Recall campaign is a political exercise

I

da Chong is not Paul Reitsma. The MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head has topped the list of those targeted for recall by members of the Fight HST campaign.

However, the intent of the recall legislation is to give the electorate a way in which to fire politicians. In Reitsma’s case, he was proven to have lied to his constituents after writing letters to the local paper under the name “Warren Betanko.”

Reitsma refused to resign until 25,000 people signed a pe-

tition to have him removed from office. Officially, he stepped down before becoming the first MLA in the history of B.C. to be recalled from office.

Chong was roasted in the media for claiming $6,000 in expenses for lunches during a time of fiscal restraint.

The irony was gravy for bloggers who questioned why she didn’t pack a lunch like other local MLAs. But Chong did nothing illegal and she certainly isn’t the only MLA to take advantage of their allotted food allowance.

MAIN SWITCHBOARD

It’s almost comical to suggest that the province would be better served by recalling an MLA that probably most in B.C. have never heard of.

Chong may be politically wobbly at the moment, but the biggest complaint against her is that she’s been too loyal to Premier Gordon Campbell.

It’s Campbell’s unpopularity that has made Chong vulnerable.

Fight HST has smelled blood and, because Chong won by the narrowest of margins in the last election, she’s seen as low hang-

ing fruit for the recall campaign.

But the fact is we hold elections to choose who will represent us. Recall was never meant to be a tool used to destabilize a government, which is the threat Fight HST has issued the B.C. Liberals. Fight HST leaders are taking the low road simply because they’re too impatient.

If you don’t like the HST, say so in the referendum next September. Chong’s future should be determined by her constituents in the next provincial election in 2013.

There’s nothing new about Mean Girl gossiping twitters

W

hile the sheer volume of words coming from the newest Wikileaks scandal has left me scratching my head, one thing has become abundantly clear —America’s political realm is chock o’ block with Mean Girls.

Within minutes of a day lost to perusing titles heralding from Ottawa to Seoul, I learned the flood of leaked US documents don’t just spell out what’s happening in political relations. Each file reads like a chapter of a giant burn book, in some cases more fitting to a Lindsay Lohan flick than the political realm.

For example, did you know Muammar Ghadaffi uses Botox?

There are a few political leaders who

I would have suspected this of—a-hem, our premier—but Gaddafi’s crumpled face wouldn’t have led me to that conclusion. If nothing else comes of this revelation, it’s that botulinum isn’t going to be in my beauty regimen.

The nefarious Kim Jong Il isn’t only a global wild card.

By the estimates of one diplomat he’s flabby. I mean, this isn’t what I’d call a revelation disguised by the three inches in height gained by puffing up his hair. But reading it in very official looking type, gave the statement some mouth-covering oomph.

Best yet, is an Ot-

KATHARTIC tawa file where they

blame the Canadian Broadcast Corporation for anti-Americanism.

Not just the news, mind you. It’s also Kathy CBC’s list of oddball Michaels sitcoms and dramas.

Here’s a taste of what was said by an American diplomat working out of Ottawa.

“The degree of comfort with which Canadian broadcast entities, including those financed by Canadian tax dollars, twist current events to feed long-standing negative images of the U.S.—and the extent to which the Canadian public seems willing to in-

dulge in the feast—is noteworthy as an indication of the kind of insidious negative popular stereotyping we are increasingly up against in Canada.”

Being as stereotyping Americans is one of my favourite hobbies, I wasn’t completely alarmed by the assessment.

Another, admittedly, didn’t sit as well.

In the lead up to the 2008 federal election one diplomat surmised that the US was almost ignored as a topic of debate.

“This likely reflects an almost inherent inferiority complex of Canadians vis-a-vis their sole neighbor,” the file read.

Inferiority? Bah. Here come my

negative stereotypes.

My pastime aside, this leak has caused an uproar of epic proportions —some are calling for blood, shouting terrorism.

But I can’t help but wonder if it’s less about the files and more about the clarity of perspective.

Dorothy has pulled back the curtains and the whole world has been given a view of the great and powerful Oz. And, it seems, he’s not all he’s cracked up to be.

In fact, he’s just a petty bully. Who needs to stereotype?

▼ CITY DEVELOPMENT

Lots of commercial land available for development behind Cedar waterfront To the editor: The City of Kelowna (aka: Kelowna property owners) owns 11 waterfront properties along Abbott Street. You can view these lots by heading down to the waterfront at the intersection of Pandosy and KLO Road/Cedar Ave. It’s quite a magnificent accumulation of land that has been purchased from residents over many years. For some time the land was shown as future waterfront park but in 2004 council made alterations that would designate most of it for commercial development, hotel and condominiums while leaving a small strip for a waterfront walkway.

Directly across Abbott Street, several other dilapidated homes sit waiting for the day when developers deem it feasible to build density housing, a hotel and related commer-

cial activity.

Prior to 2004, the area was mostly well maintained single family homes, and the neighbourhood fought against radical change.

That battle was lost and so the area has since been sold out to investors waiting for the right opportunity to sell or develop. Something now needs to happen to this prime wasteland.

The City’s present intention to sell most of the waterfront (instead of allowing development to occur across Abbott Street) is being explained as a means to garner a few million dollars that will help balance the city’s expenses. We will retain a small strip of waterfront, good for taking a stroll, but we lose forever the rare and precious land mass that should be devoted to park as it was (mostly) intended to be.

They ain’t making waterfront anymore.

Apparently we can justify building a $45-million pool (a depreciating asset) but can’t seem to come to grips with not selling the already-paid-for waterfront park for a fraction of that amount. Short term thinking, in my opinion.

Just maybe we want to pay close attention to this debate and become part of the solution.

The point to understand, as I mentioned, is that there is a pile of land ripe and ready to build the commercial and residential district that would open up to the park and waterfront.

Why settle for less when we can easily afford the very best? Got a Frisbee? Let’s go to the park!

▼ FEDERAL POLITICS

Constituents pay for Day’s electioneering To the editor: Just when I thought that Stockwell Day used the most outrageous argument to make a point—if you support the use of the Long Form Census you are anti-semitic—this time he comes up with one even more outrageous.

“Time off for bad behavior…,” the lead into his latest piece of misinformation, is an attempt to discredit the Liberal Party of Canada’s proposal to introduce a Family Care Plan. (Parents Should Not Get Time Off Because Their Kids Misbehave, Nov. 28 Capital News Westside.)

The (Liberal) plan is designed to assist those Canadians who stay home to care for very ill, possibly terminally ill, or aging and/ or infirm family members. Instead of coming up with factual reasons why the government should not assist these Canadians he uses a bizarre example that focuses on the kid who mugs a senior citizen and his parents get to stay home to nurse his scraped knuckles.

I, for one, would like to hear why he is so

against extending such a benefit to Canadian families. It can’t be because the economy cannot afford such a benefit because the Conservatives seem to find the money to lower the already lowest corporate tax rate in the Western world.

We seem to be able to afford the reckless spending by Mr. Day’s cohort Tony Clement for the G8 Summit. So it must mean that Stockwell Day really does not care about Canadian families in distress.

What a heartless approach to governing!

Mr. Day says he is going to vote against this motion just as he voted against providing a modest tax break for rural students attending university. It would appear that he is more concerned with his own well being than the well being of his constituents.

On a related issue, the approximately 60,000 voters of Okanagan-Coquihalla who did not vote for Stockwell Day in the last election should be very concerned that he is using your tax dollars for electioneering. The Nov-

ember MP’s free mailing had little if anything to do with what the government is doing for the public in terms of services. Instead the entire mail out was a Conservative political statement. He actually wants us to respond to a survey either by return mail or failing that, use the Conservative website that coincidently also asks for donations.

Once again Day completely disregards what is a privilege of Parliament and uses it as a privilege designed to suit Stockwell Day and his own political agenda.

If you are fed up with this waste of your tax dollar register your concern with Elections Canada info@election.ca. Have the Conservative Party pay for their own election brochures instead of you, the taxpayer.

▼ FAMILY TRAGEDY

Hyatt family thank community for support To the editor: We would like to thank the community for their support with the “Justice for Ashlee” pins and Angels jewelry.

We have had amazing support for Ashlee and our family with these endeavours for her bursary from across Canada and even from the U.S. We would also like to send a heartfelt thankyou to Katherine and Blake Gray for purchasing Ashlee’s memorial bench in Peachland, where Ashlee was murdered in June. This let me write a plaque in memory of my daughter for the bench. Words can’t thank

you enough.

The plaque should be completed soon.

Another heartfelt thank you to Heather Bridge, the owner of Borrowed and Blue in Westbank, for the selling of Angels jewelry and taking on the endeavour for us and for Ashlee.

Two dollars from every piece of jewelry sold goes to the Ashlee Hyatt Memorial Bursary.

The Justice for Ashlee pins are also being sold, with a minimum $2 donation, at Borrowed and Blue, A Buck or Two, and Glenrosa Market on the Westside and at Merle Norman in Kelowna. All proceeds from the pins go

to the Ashlee Hyatt Memorial Bursary.

We are happy to have Ashlee’s face out in the community and everyone proud to wear a pin in support of her.

It shows the support that Ashlee and our family have, and that this strong community won’t forget Ashlee Hyatt.

As Christmas approaches it is an even harder struggle than normal to come to terms with our loss of our beautiful daughter—the support and love is getting us through.

We wish all the community, the businesses that have supported us,

our friends and family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and thank you so much for

your continuous support.

▼ PARENTAL DISCIPLINE

A child completing 80% of a chore can’t be acceptable O

n most days, my children perform their household duties at about 80 per cent.

Now, one might say, “That’s not bad. Eighty per cent is pretty close to an ‘A.’” No one really gets 100 per cent, do they? I should be grateful I get 80 per cent, rather than, say, 50 or 60 per cent.

In the end, it’s the same result. If the kids don’t do 100 per cent of

Even if we crank it up to 95 per cent, that still leaves just a little bit for me to do.

Unless it’s 100 per cent or better, I’m involved.

And, make no mistake, that final percentage is the most difficult to get out of a child.

“You never appreciate what I do,” one whines, implying 80 per cent is really good.

“Of course I do,” I reply carefully and soothingly, knowing things could turn on me and that 80 per cent may drop significantly if I don’t play

it right.

She may end up leaving the room in a cloud of misery and sputters of tears saying, “You don’t love me…you never loved me…why do you always pick on me?”

I don’t mention their tasks are but a mere fleck on the scope of household duties that need to be done.

I don’t mention I have already logged in four days of incessant nagging for them to do their sim-

ple chore. I don’t mention enduring 24 hours of labour to give them life because I’ve used that line too many times by now.

“I folded all the blankets and put them on the couch,” she says, as if that should be more than magnificent enough.

“Yes, but you didn’t put them away…in the closet…where they belong…where you took them from two days ago with so much energy I couldn’t believe you

teriorate before their eyes before they’d even consider cleaning it up if they have any doubt whatsoever it wasn’t theirs.

Children also believe that plopping a sauce-covered pot in the sink and pouring water in it is considered 100 per cent done.

Theoretically, the dishwashing gnomes will magically get to it. I have never given the illusion that will happen, but they still believe.

So, how do I increase their percentage of the job? The trouble is that once you finally get them to 100 per cent on one duty, you’re exhausted and they’re already 35 per cent behind on the next one.

This is why parents often give in. It is much less tiring to finish the job ourselves than to see it incomplete for days and remind the children minute by minute.

But, we must stay strong. And, never forget.

I am looking forward to visiting my daughters when they are living on their own and I can dirty every dish, spill the salt and not flush the toilet. Then, I’ll just walk out the door.

Don’t forget, parents, all those percentage points add up.

“Aw mom, do I have to?” Really, has any parent said ‘no’ to this question? If you have, shame on you.

“Yes you do,” I reply as sternly as possible, not willing to let my percentage slip away.

I think children really believe 80 per cent is considered done.

If they vacuum, they miss a room. If they rake leaves, 20 per cent are still on the ground. If they clean the bathroom, I still don’t want to sit on the toilet.

Children also have a strange ability to think that putting their dirty dish and silverware after dinner in the dishwasher is a major feat, even if they leave their glass on the table. It all has to be done, I tell them.

“That’s not my glass,” one says. One always says that. I’m thinking of getting fingerprinting equipment just to prove who did what with the dishes.

“It’s not mine,” says the other, of course.

“Now, I’m darn sure it’s not mine,” I say, “but I’ll be the one putting it away. Is that fair?”

They seem to think so.

Way better than actually putting away something that isn’t theirs.

With children, the belief is that it can attract flies, grow mould and de-

Request for Expression of Interest Fuel Management Contractors, Logging Contractors, and Forest Labourers

Cultural concepts thrashed out Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Does local government have a role in building a vibrant culture? If so, what does it look like?

Those were just a couple of questions bandied about as the city once deemed the Cultural Capital of Canada suffered through unsuccessful locally produced festivals and business failures in the district dedicated to artistic pursuits.

They’re now questions close to being answered through feedback gathered over numerous public consultations in the development of a city-led cultural plan.

The culmination of months of surveying was on display at the Laurel Packinghouse during a Tuesday evening public input session.

Those in attendance were faced with a list of points that dealt with issues in business and liquor licensing, zoning amendments, bylaws, cultural roundtables and the degree the city should interfere with the arts, among others.

And with a strip of stickers that acted as silent votes, they set about highlighting what they believed most relevant to creating a vibrant city.

All in all, it’s input that should amount to more than having a good time. “A creative city is a competitive city in the global marketplace, and a welcoming, attractive home for a diverse population,� read the posterboard greeting interested parties. “This is an awesome planning process, which

has clearly incorporated a lot of people’s ideas,� said Alison Moore, of Ballet Kelowna, standing in front of the suggestions. “But as it stands now, it’s a bit daunting.�

Moore is no stranger to the struggles that arts organizations in the valley face, saying she lauds the city’s attempts to get a handle on what it may take to spur cultural development. And, by her estimates, success will always lie with the public, so the process is a step in the right direction. “What would be valuable is to ensure the audience we want to reach has a voice in what the city does,� she added. “It’s the challenge we all face.�

Quinn Best and Karma Lacoff, two of the faces behind the BreakOut West festival that cleared some of the bad mojo associated with large public events, had a slightly different take on the city’s place in supporting culture. Basically, if the city allows them to build it, the public will come. “This is an opportunity for the city to show us there are opportunities to stay here and do events,�

Best said. “The question is whether they can keep our curiosity, build loyalty and make us brand warriors. “In the past, there were opportunities for momentum, but there was so much politicking behind the scenes.�

At a recent city council meeting Best, who is also the owner of the downtown all-ages club Habitat, was encouraged to look into the feasibility of pulling off another festival like BreakOut West.

That verbal support,

he explained, is all well and good. But it takes dollars and business-friendly policy to turn talk into reality. “Basically, they tell us if we can do it again.

We need to get rid of red tape,� he said, pointing out that his business is one of those that stagnated due to government hurdles.

Habitat has a food primary liquor licence, which never was the right fit for an entertainment primary business plan. So, each time liquor board inspectors toured through, they came face to face with

conditions that prompted fines and licence suspensions. “If I started Habitat with the moratorium on liquor licences removed, I wouldn’t be wondering if a music venue could exist,� he said. “Of course it would.�

City of Kelowna policy planner Maria Stanborough said the sheer volume of feedback surpassed all expectations. “With all the information we’ve gained tonight, we’ll revise (the plan) and it will go before council in January.�

Valhalla Environmental Consulting (Valhalla) will be managing the program on behalf of the DWK and is creating a short list of companies and individuals that are capable of undertaking any or all of the following activities: • Services associated with the assessing, felling, pruning, piling, burning, chipping, grinding and trucking of trees or debris • Selective, low impact harvesting operations • General forest labour services Tender package information can be obtained through the contact information below.

Diet plays an important role in dealing with chronic pain M

ost of my patients are chronic pain sufferers when they first arrive to my clinic.

Many are at the end of their rope. The majority are surprised when I discuss the importance of nutrition in their healing success.

I often ask them to provide me with a ‘food log.’ There are definitely some things you should and should not do that will directly affect your recovery.

The way you eat has a lot to do with how you process or feel pain.

Some foods can cause further inflammation and therefore, pain. Some can promote normal chemistry necessary for recovery.

Think of it this way— you are given only so much energy each day.

This sum of energy is a fixed amount for each day. That energy is divid-

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel ed into groups like physiology, digestion, breathing, moving, producing heat, etc.

There is no more to draw on other than your daily allotment.

This is why it is important to eat and eat well when one is suffering.

To process pain takes energy. It requires more than one can imagine.

Your body will process pain first then divvy up the remainder to your other necessary physiological needs.

Essentially, you are starting the day in a deficit when you factor in pain.

You have to eat in or-

der to fuel the body that is attempting to heal itself.

Your energy stores will increase accordingly.

All too many chronic pain sufferers starve themselves.

Fat cells promote an inflammatory chemistry.

They secrete hormones that are considered to be pro-inflammatory.

Sugary foods will promote and feed the pain signals throughout the body and should be, therefore, avoided.

Your meals should include fresh vegetables, fish, eggs and lean meats.

Fish contain an all too important substance called omega 3 essential fatty acid. It places the body in an anti-inflammatory state.

One must also flush out all of the inflammatory and pain mediators and byproducts by drinking lots of clear fluids a day.

Avoid alcohol as it

is a potent inflammatory agent and often heavily laden with complex carbohydrates and sugars.

I think I may have lost a few of you there.

It is very important to take a full spectrum multivitamin. It should be appropriate to your age and sex.

Avoid the generic ones and get a pharmaceutical grade supplement. In addition, there are many other potent supplements available to help rid yourself of your pain and promote this important anti-inflammatory state.

They should be taken under the guidance of your health practitioner.

These are just a few of them: Boswellia, ginger, devil’s claw, bromelain, quercetin and vitamin D. One must remember that all disease processes from acne to arthritis begin with one thing in

common—in the beginning the first step was inflammation.

This is why it is important for the sick as well as the healthy to maintain an anti-inflammatory state. Remember, if you are a chronic pain suffer-

er, you will be requiring more fuel as you are using it less efficiently.

▼ MLA’S REPORT

A great time to lend a hand A s the holidays approach and the weather gets colder, it is the perfect time to think of those less fortunate and to lend a hand.

This is something that was brought home to me and my staff one morning just last week.

A man—I’ll call him Joe—came into my constituency office looking for help.

He was living rough in the forest outside town, but the very cold weather was too much for him.

He needed a roof over his head and came to us for help.

Thankfully, there are some excellent shelters in Kelowna, run by caring people who are always ready to help people like Joe. The call went out from my office to the Gospel Mission and Joe was immediately assigned a counsellor, who got him checked in right away.

Shelters such as the Gospel Mission and Inn From the Cold do so much to help the home-

Ben Stewart less in Kelowna.

Not only do they provide a warm place to sleep and hot meals, they also are a first stop on the road to stability.

Local shelters provide counselling and assistance to help homeless people find employment and gain their independence.

They also help them move into supportive housing developments, such as Willowbridge, the first of three new buildings to officially open in Kelowna as a result of an agreement formed by the province and the City of Kelowna to provide more supportive housing for those at risk of homeless-

ness.

Since 2001, the province has invested $18.6 million in 11 facilities to address housing needs for women, seniors, those recovering from addictions and the homeless.

However, we must still do more.

That’s why I am so pleased the new Willowbridge facility is just the first phase in a new provincial investment of $24.2 million to build new supportive housing developments for people at risk of homelessness.

Through an agreement with the City of Kelowna, two new facilities on Tutt Street and Rutland Road are either under construction or about to start.

More good is being done in our area by the Kelowna Community Food Bank Society and the Westside Community Food Bank Society.

These non-profit organizations help people who are experiencing financial difficulties and are staffed by dedicated volunteers.

They rely on dona-

tions of food, time and money to do their work.

Homeless shelters and food banks make extraordinary contributions to our community by helping those like Joe get back on their feet.

In this, the season of giving, I hope everybody who can do so will make a donation to one of these shelters or food banks.

Strata councils don’t have to tolerate unruly behaviour A lmost every strata has at least one.

The unfortunate ones have even more. Everyone knows who they are.

They’re the ones who break the bylaws, create a nuisance, cause trouble and are generally a big pain to others. In

short, they are the neighbours from hell. In a rare case, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice recently ruled to compel a condominium owner to sell her suite and leave the building due to unruly behaviour.

The 41-year-old stockbroker was accused

of repeatedly intimidating her neighbours with her 70-kilogram Rottweiler and by playing loud music, poisoning plants and generally being an obnoxious strata member.

The woman lived in an upscale 30-unit condo in Toronto. In total, nine affidavits were filed to

support the application to court outlining a litany of outrageous behaviour.

Prior to her arrival, the shared courtyard was a friendly meeting place for neighbours. After her arrival, evidence indicated the woman let her dog roam unattended, menacing and lunging at adults and children. An order to

STRATA SCENE

came desolate and deserted. Testimony revealed that the woman would be drunk, playing loud music at all hours of the night.

When she encountered neighbours she would hurl obscenities, laced with F-bombs, along with homophobic and racial slurs.

that she uttered threats and used her large, aggressive dog to intimidate and instill fear.

In addition, she was found guilty of repeated incidents of mischief to property such as killing garden plants, ‘egging’ the other units and interfering with cable television services. The judge ruled her behaviour was extreme and included physical violence, extraordinary verbal abuse, interference with the enjoyment of property, as well as actual damage to property. The court noted that the woman’s behaviour did not change as a result of earlier orders from the strata council and that, since she was in denial, there was no chance of reform and changing her ‘incorrigible or unmanageable’ ways.

The court ordered her to sell her condominium within three months of the service of the order.

If the unit did not sell, or if the woman breached any term of the court order, the strata could apply for an order of possession.

And her dog was ordered to vacate the premises within 10 days.

Furthermore, the woman was ordered to pay the strata’s legal costs amounting to $35,000.

The judge described the situation as a “perfect storm” in which the misconduct was serious and persistent and had impacted the small community.

The strata members were entitled to their peace and security. Although this situation was extreme, the case sends a warning that bad behaviour need not be tolerated and that legal remedies are available.

SPORTS ▼ WHL

East leaders to test Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Like any father, Kelowna Rockets GM Bruce Hamiton wants his son to enjoy his birthday.

Just not at the expense of his hockey team.

Curtis Hamilton turns 19 on Saturday, the same night his Saskatoon Blades pay their lone visit of the season to Prospera Place.

The younger Hamilton has been a key figure in his club’s ascent to the top of the Eastern Conference standings this season. The 6-foot-3 205 pound Kelowna Minor Hockey product leads the Blades with 15 goals and 39 points in 27 games.

He also tops the league in plus-minus with a +27 rating.

“I want him to have a real good night and play real well,” Bruce Hamilton said of Curtis. “But wins are lot more important to the Kelowna Rockets. I’m not sure his mom feels that way, but that’s the way it has to be for us.”

It will be Curtis’ first

visit to Kelowna for a WHL game since Dec. 3, 2008 when the Blades beat the Rockets 4-2.

Two years older and with an extra 75 games of experience under his belt, Hamilton hopes to be somewhat looser this time around.

“I’ll probably be a little more relaxed, but whenever I come there, there’s always nerves,” he said. “There’ll be family and friends watching, so that’s exciting and nervewracking at the same time.

We’re two teams that are playing well right now, so it should be fun.”

On the subject of the Rockets, the elder Hamilton’s team is the hottest club in the WHL with 11 wins in 12 games.

Kelowna (15-11-0-0) has vaulted from dead last in the Western Conference to fourth place in the span of just over a month.

Coincidentally, the Blades (20-6-0-1) are the second hottest team overall with eight wins and a shootout loss in their last 10.

Bruce Hamiton said Saturday’s game against

one of the league’s elite teams will be a good measuring stick for his club.

“This will be a real good test for us,” he said.

“We chugged along through November, now we’ll see where we’re at.

(The Blades), Portland, Medicine Hat, Tri-City, those are the teams you have to compete with. I hope the Blades win all their games except for the one on Saturday.”

ROCKET SHOTS…

The Rockets will be in Chilliwack Friday night. Kelowna has won both meetings aganist the Bruins (12-10-2-1) this season…Zach Franko had a goal and an assist and Adam Brown made 20 saves as the Rockets edged Seattle 3-2 on Wednesday at Prospera.

Mackay top in conference this week Dave Mackay finished off the pre-Christmas BCCAA men’s basketball schedule in fine style.

The 6-foot-5 forward for the UBC Okanagan Heat has been named the conference’s player of the week.

The Brentwood College graduate was a prominent figure in the Heat’s 86-85 upset of the defending champion UNBC Timberwolves Saturday night in Prince George.

Whether it’s playing post defense to shut down an opponent’s big man, pressuring the ball in full court, or scoring big points, Mackay has proven his ability to do it all for UBCO.

Quite a week for Warriors It was an eventful 24 hours for the Westside Warriors on Wednesday.

The BCHL team completed a trade, acquiring a West Kelowna Minor Hockey product, then travelled to Penticton and beat their rival for the second time in a week.

The Warriors were also listed as an honorable mention in the Canadian Junior A Hockey League’s rankings of the best Junior A teams in Canada.

Tonight they’re back on the ice and should have Tyler French in the lineup after acquiring the centre on Wednesday from the Quesnel Millionaires The Warriors acquired French, the older brother of Warriors forward Max French, for future con-

siderations.

He wasn’t in the lineup Wednesday when the Warriors went to Penticton and earned a 6-4 victory over the Vees. Max French however was and had one of the goals for the Warriors. Grayson Downing and Alex Grieve each scored twice while Tyler Brickler also scored for Westside who improved to 17-10-1-2.

Friday night Tyler French is expected to play when the Warriors kick off a home and home series with the Vipers in Vernon.

The two teams play Saturday in West Kelowna.

The 20-year-old French is described as a tenacious, hard-nosed two way player.

“When we played

Quesnel he was by far the best face-off man for them and that will be important come playoffs,” said Warriors head coach/GM Darren Yopyk.

“He’ll take up some penalty kill time for us and is a good two way forward. Tyler will keep our offensive guys off the penalty-kill more and free them up to play their game,” Yopyk said.

Bos conquers physical, mental challenges in 100 k race Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

It was the most mentally and physically taxing race Melanie Bos has ever run.

And in many ways, the World 100 K Championships last month in Gibraltar was also the most satisfying.

The 37-year-old runner from Kelowna recorded a personal best time for the 100 k distance with a clocking of eight hours 41 minutes.

Bos was 27th overall and the second Canadian woman to finish the 20lap event.

Her effort helped push

CONTRIBUTED

KELOWNA’S Melanie Bos was the second Canadian woman to finish the world 100 k championships last month in Gibraltar.

Canada to a seventh-place

finish out of more than 20

countries in the team competition.

The format of running a five-kilometre loop 20 times was a brand new challenge for Bos, one that required every bit of her mental and physical tenacity.

“It was the most difficult race I’ve been in,” Bos said. “The mental commitment has to be there, partly because of the repetition of running the same course over and over again. After about 60 km I started to get sore and it’s tough because you realize you still have a marathon to go.”

Still, Bos didn’t relent to the temptation to stop,

even though competitors around her were dropping out of the race, one after the other.

“There were 250 people in at at the start of the run and about 100 dropped out,” said Bos. “You see people seizing up all around you and it’s

difficult not to focus on others.

“But I managed to get past that. I had a strong finish and I have never felt so excited to finish a race. It’s the most rewarding experience I’ve had in running.”

Her time of 8:41

knocked nearly 50 minutes off Bos’s previous PB of 9 1/2 hours set last year at Haney to Harrison.

Thanks to her performance at the 2010 event in Gibraltar, Bos has qualified for next year’s world 100 k championship in Holland.

Kelowna rink without skip, wins in Kamloops Kelowna skaters top medalists Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Playing with three different lineups didn’t stop the Bob Ursel rink from taking care of business at the Crown of Curling in Kamloops.

The Kelowna/Vernon foursome—without an injured Ursel at their service—went a perfect 6-0 last weekend to win the $34,000 World Curling Tour event.

Fourth man and interim skip Jim Cotter, substitute third Dean Joanisse, second Kevin Folk and lead Rick Sawatsky defeated Calgary’s Steve Petyrk 5-0 in Monday’s final of the 24-rink event to secure the $8,000 first prize.

With Sawatsky absent for the first two games due to other commitments, the Kelowna/Vernon rink played one game with just three players, and another with Ryan LeDrew at lead.

Regardless of the combination of players, the local team found a way to win.

“It was a bit challenging, but we just kind of went with the flow,” said Cotter. “The guys played phenomenal, we strung some wins together and things worked out well.”

Ursel has yet to throw a rock in competition this season because of a left knee injury.

His status remains in limbo as the 45-year-old skip continues to undergo treatments and tests in an effort to get the knee back in playing shape.

If Ursel doesn’t get back on the ice in the next few weeks, he admits he may have to write off the season.

He expects to miss his rink’s next event, the Swiss Chalet National Capital One Grand Slam event Dec. 15 to 19 in Vernon.

“I think I really have to get back out there before Christmas if I’m going to play this season,” said Ursel, the 2008 B.C. men’s champ who throws third rocks for his team. “It’s getting to the point where Vernon is pretty much out.

It’s not fair to the other

guys to drag it on too long.

I have to get better soon.

“I’m glad the guys are doing well, but it’s frustrating not to be part of it.”

Particularly frustrating for Ursel is the absence of an accurate diagnosis. The knee began to bother him last season and got progressively worse over the summer.

“I’ve gone through a bunch of massage therapy, I’ve been needled, I’ve seen an orthopedic surgeon, I’ve had an MRI, but no one seems to have a definite answer. What I do know is, it only hurts when I curl.”

If nothing else, Ursel can take solace in the fact that his rink is in fine form heading into the heart of the curling season. The Kelowna team leads the season points standings in B.C. and as a result has already nailed down an automatic berth at the B.C. men’s curling championship Feb. 7 to 13 in Vernon.

Jim Cotter, for one, hopes to see his skip, teammate and friend back with the team in the near

For the second year in a row, Justin Nillson and his Kelowna Curling Club foursome will make an appearance at the B.C. junior men’s curling championship.

The local rink qualified for provincials after posting a 3-0 record at the regional playdowns last weekend in Salmon Arm. Nillson, third Mitchell Sheridan, second Dylan Tyre and lead James Walker won the A event qualifier on Saturday night defeating Kael Kristjanson of Kamloops 11-2.

The Kelowna rink got off on the right foot beating Vernon’s Jonathan Gardner—the 2009 B.C. silver medalist—6-4 in the opening game.

Nillson then defeated Enderby’s Gordon Forster 12-5.

Coach Jock Tyre said the Kelowna team was on top of its game.

“The guys played really well,” said Tyre.

“They’ve been through this before, so they’re a little tighter, a little more experienced. The guys have more confidence in their skip and it shows on the ice.”

The Kelowna curlers will travel provincials Dec. 26 o 31 in North Shore where Coach Tyre expects them to contend for a medal.

“Our goal is to be in the final three and to make the playoffs,” he said.

“From there anything can happen.”

Nillson went 2-5 at last year’s provincials in Victoria.

JUNIOR WOMEN

Kelowna Curling Club’s Jenn Gerow rink will be on the North Shore beginning Boxing Day for the B.C. junior women’s curling championship.

Gerow defeated Corryn Brown of Kamloops 8-6 Saturday in the A qualifier.

Earlier in the day, the Kelowna team downed Alyssa Kyllo of Kamloops 10-5.

Gerow is from Salmon Arm, but is currently living in Kelowna while attending school.

The rest of the local rink is third Kayte Giles, second Melissa Moen and lead Vanessa Samborsky.

The coach is Brent Giles.

Teaser showing for fine arts students’ final exhibition UBCO students wind up their university careers Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

UBC Okanagan fine arts students half way through their graduation year are circling their final show of the year—and their degrees—in style.

This evening this year’s crop of creative minds host the final evening of their Visa 482 art show. The offerings give Art on the Line fans a sneak peak at some of the thought provoking, beautiful and at times strange pieces that could be included in the popular event, come January.

“I will definitely be putting a couple of my pieces in,” said Catherine Spencer, Visual Arts

Course Union co-president and the mastermind behind a work of art she calls Your Churn.

The life-sized wagon wheel is what she terms a “kinetic piece that is meant to give an opportunity to experience becoming part of a machine in order to gain a different aspect on art and industrialization.”

Pictured here with her VACU co-president Brittany Falk, however, one can’t escape the symbolic gesture the two young artists exhibit as they push the wheel along.

As anyone who has been to university, or even completed a difficult journey such as achieving a degree can attest, there

are times when it does feel very much like one is a cog in a wheel churning ever so slowly to the end of the line—though in this case, that line is very near.

The work shown at this evening’s show is what students are building on for their final show.

Spencer, for example, plans to explore different aspects of industrialization with a number of pieces collectively entitled Endless Assembly.

Jessica Ross, on the other hand, is looking at her collection of collections. One print shows a selection of her DVDs, of which she has more than 400.

Funding the final show is always a bit of a feat in

and of itself and part of that process is the Jan. 29 Art on the Line event.

This show offers anyone with $175 to spend a chance to pick out an original artwork.

The catch is, the event is part auction and part lottery.

Those who buy a ticket assemble a list of possible favourites from a very large show that will be held in the Fipke Centre, then wait for their number to be drawn out of a drum; when it is, they have a handful of seconds to decide from the remaining works of art which piece to take home, all while the audience cheers them on.

Students donate the artwork, but there are sevCONTRIBUTED

UBCO Visual Arts Course Union co-presidents Brittany Falk and Catherine Spen-

cer are hoping Spencer’s creationYour Churn, will draw a crowd to Friday’s exhibition party and sell some tickets for Art on the Line.

Two intense little movies to take in pre-Christmas T

and Other Drugs for romantic comedy fans.

And now is the time for casual Harry Potter fans to see the young wizardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penultimate outing as crowds have died down. If you are too busy Christmas shopping to see a movie, stop by the theatre anyway as movie gift certificates are a

he first weekend in December is always a quiet one for movies as the movie studios donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to compete with the distractions that come at the beginning of the Christmas season such as shopping and parties.

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis Therefore, I have an opportunity this week to write about two smaller movies that are opening at the Paramount Theatre tonight.

Fans of the Beatles, and in particular John Lennon, will want to check out Nowhere Boy. This critically acclaimed bio-pic tells the story of his troubled teenage years and the struggles between the aunt who raised him and his irresponsible mother.

Lennon escapes into music and the new and exciting world of rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n roll where his fledgling genius finds a kindred spirit in the teenaged Paul McCartney.

Just as John is embarking on his new life, tragedy strikes, but he channels his anger and personal pain into creativity and making music.

Although there are no Beatles songs in the movie, there is one John Lennon song, Mother. The rest of the soundtrack is made up of songs of the era, including some that were performed by The Quarrymen, one of Len-

The movie ends when he leaves for Hamburg, Germany, with his band.

If you do see Nowhere Boy and want to find out what comes next, watch Backbeat, a 1994 film that chronicles the early days of the Beatles in Hamburg and the relationship between Lennon and original band member Stuart Sutcliffe.

Featuring two of the most intense actors of their generations, Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton, Stone could be a movie to watch just to see the fireworks between the leads.

DeNiro plays Jack Mabrey, a parole officer counting down the days to retirement, who is asked to review the case of Gerald â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stoneâ&#x20AC;? Creeson

(Norton), a prisoner eligible for early release.

In an attempt to manipulate Mabrey, Stone has his beautiful and casually amoral wife (Milla Jovovich) seduce him and play psychological games.

While the story seems a little along the lines of Fatal Attraction, the actors are getting acclaim for their performances. In particular, Jovovich, best known for her Resident Evil movies, is getting positive reviews for her role as the scheming wife.

If these two films do not catch your fancy, then there are numerous other choices still out there. From action movies like Faster, Unstoppable and Skyline, to animated family fare like Tangled and Megamind, to Love

I have a new favourite, the Librandi Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A flavour powerhouse: “Its aroma is complex and round with lots of medium ripe tomato. The taste is elegant and strong with vegetable tones throughout.” Basically, I want to pour this liquid gold on everything I eat.

As usual, Teresa provides a history on the producer, which I love.

“The Librandi family has been running this beautiful farm since 1960. Now under the helm of the two 30-something sisters, Angela and Lucia, it has been transformed to a completely organic farm that over the past few years has been accepting

Second gen Touareg has kept all of its prowess Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

BABY IT’S COLD outside, in fact -28.5 C when this shot was taken of the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg SUV in Banff on a road test during a deep Arctic freeze.

BANFF—It’s -32 C outside with a wind chill of -42.

It’s so cold that the snow makes a snapping sound as you walk up to the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg SUV for the first leg in a daylong drive up through the top of the Canadian Rockies.

No one was expecting deep Arctic cold, especially Volkswagen that brought along diesel and well as gasoline versions, and I’ve got a diesel.

Thirty years ago a diesel in this kind of cold would never work without a block heater.

ern engineering, they all started with a twist of the bladeless key fob.

With VW’s long-proven 4Motion all-wheeldrive system, setting off is just like going for a Sunday drive.

Heading south from Banff on the Trans-Canada, there were long ribbons of ice buildup on the frozen asphalt that had the adaptive drive working overtime. As a tire and/or tires lost/gained traction, there was a slight wobble as the Touareg’s computer and sensors corrected the sideslip—all at 100 km/h.

Prowess from B1 through some of the most picturesque mountain vistas in the country. In the summer this part-pavement, part-gravel road is a highway to respect. Now it was plowed but still snow covered, not slippery, but not to be taken lightly either.

Using the same highway drive mode as on the Trans-Canada, it takes a few miles but the superlative way the 4Motion works lets the driver work up to normal highway speeds, even in conditions like this. There was so much grip, low gearing was not required.

At one point, to test the drive system and the anti-sway/traction control, my usual co-driver got up to about 120 km/h and did a full panic stop. This was accomplished without fuss and zero swerving.

While all this was going on outside, we were inside the Touareg at a toasty 22 C with the Sirius/XM satellite belting out ’60s tunes.

generation Touareg and it is slightly longer, wider and lower than its predecessor. But it is also almost 400 lb lighter and, with more powerful and less thirsty engines plus eight gears, fuel consumption is noticeably improved.

The two engines are a 3.6-litre direct injection V6 (FSI) producing 280 hp and 265 lb/ft of torque.

The other is a 3.0-litre direct injection turbocharged diesel (TDI) that makes 225 hp and a whopping 406 lb/ft of torque.

That results in a fuel consumption rating for the V6 of 12.3/8.8L/100 km city/highway and 11.1/7.0L/100 km city/ highway for the TDI. On the highway, and more noticeably in the high snow, the TDI felt really strong with no noticeable turbo lag. Not only was the TDI quiet but there also was the feeling of a whole lot more power than needed waiting in reserve.

Choosing between the two engines is a tough one.

The TDI is more expensive but very clean to operate and you can travel up to 1,200 km on a single tank.

On the other hand, diesel fuel can still be hard to find and the last thing you want to do is run dry. And, despite what we see at the pumps, gasoline is still fairly cheap compared to a lot of other countries.

Tow rating is a hefty 3,500 kg with the optional towing hitch package ($705) installed plus a cargo payload of 604 kg.

The interior is classic VW with a mix of black upper instrument panel and earth tone hues set off with amber illumination of the main and secondary instruments.

We drove both the FSI and TDI versions with the optional navi/infotainment/climate system with eight-inch colour monitor.

It was not as confusing as most but it still took some doing to make a call and change a flight.

Prowess from B2 Touareg would not let us enter information on the fly much to the frustration of my co-driver who had to come to a full stop and put the Touareg in Park. I found this reassuring.

As a passenger, I enjoyed the 3D mapping which was extremely accurate with prompts issued well before turns.

The rear seat not only slides 160 mm but the backs also recline.

True to current VWthink there are three trim levels. For the FSI versions, prices range

THE DRIVER can select

the 4Motion mode with adaptive torque distribution by a rotary switch (shown bottom left). Just above that is the electronic parking brake with Auto Hold that uses hydraulic pressure to momentarily hold the Touareg on a slope until the driver touches the gas pedal at which point it releases the brake. To the right is the shift quadrant with the Tiptronic slot that allows the eight-speed transmission to be shifted sequentially.

Option packages include a rear DVD entertainment system, a power liftgate and other extras.

MOTORING

▼ ROAD TEST

Honda CR-V popular in competitive segment Neil Moore CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

When the Honda CR-V launched in 1997, along with rival Toyota RAV4, it helped define the compact SUV segment in Canada.

It offered a more fuel efficient, more agile alternative to the monster, truck-based sport utilities of the day, and quickly proved itself as the ideal vehicle for hauling small families and their stuff— whether around town or on snowy cottage roads.

The CR-V’s 126 hp, 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder was no powerhouse, but it was still fun to drive and brought plenty of buyers to the Honda nameplate.

Since then this vehicle has grown a little in size, substantially in horsepower, and even further in terms of styling and content.

Recent changes include a redesign in 2007 and a refresh in 2010. The CR-V, now in its third generation, is unchanged for 2011.

The 2010 refresh included minor updates to the front fascia, grille and rear bumper, along with a few colour changes and added content availability.

There was also a bump in horsepower from 166 to 180, but torque remains at 161 lb/ft.

But after all these updates and styling tweaks, the CR-V still looks remarkably similar to the original. Sure it’s more polished, but its trucky, tall-box design has aged gracefully and offers the kind of passenger and cargo room that are hard to find in some of today’s curvy crossovers.

On that note, CR-V’s cargo volume—at 2,064 litres when you fold and tumble the 60/40 secondrow seats—is on par with ≥trucky≤ competitors like Mitsubishi Outlander, Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota RAV4.

It also has the edge on the Ford Edge and is substantially roomier than the sleek Kia Sportage at 1,547 litres.

Some competitors, like Edge, RAV4, Outlander and Chevrolet Equinox offer both fourand six-cylinder models.

The CR-V is only available with a 2.4 litre, fourcylinder i-VTEC engine.

But if I had any doubt about Honda’s decision to stick with a four, it evap-

CONTRIBUTED

NOW IN ITS third generation, the 2011 Honda CR-V is still a rugged, practical family hauler with car-like passen-

ger comforts and the stability of four-wheel-drive. All this comes with the company’s reputation for outstanding build quality. orated when I pressed the pedal.

This robust powerplant delivers lively acceleration and has no problem passing or getting quickly up to highway speed. And it’s also pretty fuel efficient at 10.1/7.5/9.0 L/100 km (city/hwy/comb).

Indeed, the CR-V fares well against its competition. With year-to-date sales up 42 per cent compared with overall compact SUV numbers that are only up 16 per cent, this puts the CR-V in the top three of its segment.

Why the continued success? It’s not all about price, as this Honda, which starts at $26,290 for

the front-drive base model, is somewhere in the middle of its competitors, many of which also start as four cylinder front drivers.

And the CR-V is more expensive than compact and slightly less compact rivals from Hyundai and Kia. With Honda, there’s a quiet understanding that you get what you pay for.

The vehicle lineup has a reputation for outstanding build quality, not to mention fit and finish, and the CR-V is no exception.

It starts with unitbody construction and features many strategically

more real estate results With the

strengthened areas and liberal use of high strength steel for added rigidity.

Body panels and interior components are tightly fitted, with what is known as a “zero” gap for the front and rear bumpers, or less than a single millimeter.

Sounds impressive from an engineering standpoint, but what I noticed was a vehicle that had virtually no squeaks and rattles, along with doors that closed with a satisfying thunk rather than a tinny rattle.

Honda’s application of lightweight sound absorbing materials to the floor, firewall, cargo area, side pillars and roof, along

with double door seals, have created a fairly quiet cabin. Road noise does, however, intrude at highway speeds.

Safety is another area where Honda excels.

This starts with the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, which protects occupants by dispersing energy away from the cabin, along with a rigid safety cell, six standard airbags, vehicle stability assist with traction control, antilock brakes with electronic brake distribution and brake assist.

cruise control, conversation mirror with sunglasses holder and four-speaker, 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3/ WMA compatibility and MP3/auxiliary input jack.

Other standard interior amenities include a fold down rear centre armrest with integrated beverage holders and reclining rear seatbacks with centre pass-through.

If you want the benefits of four-wheel-drive, add another $2,000 to the entry model (MSRP $28,290).

This system typical-

ly runs in front-wheeldrive mode for better fuel efficiency, but seamlessly routes power to the rear wheels when more traction is needed.

Four-wheel-drive and two-wheel-drive models can be optioned up further, with highest trim level, EX-L Navi, topping out at $35,590.

This model is fitted out very much like an Acura sibling, with premium features that include leather seats, heated in front with 8-way power adjust for the driver; dual-zone climate control; power moonroof; Bluetooth; seven-speaker (with subwoofer), 270-watt premium audio system with satellite radio; navigation system with bilingual voice recognition; rearview camera and more.

One handy feature (on EX models and above), is a dual-deck cargo shelf in back that can hold up to 9 kg (20 lbs) with enough room below for groceries or a couple of golf bags.

This is one of many ways you can tailor the CR-V’s passenger and cargo carrying ability.

There’s much more to explore in this thoughtfully designed vehicle, and it’s worth a visit to the

Honda web site to check out the features and trim levels in more detail.

After my time with the CR-V, any one particular aspect of the vehicle, for example styling or performance didn’t blow me away. Not that these were in any way lacking, but that everything worked so well together, I simply got in, turned the key and went about my business.

No excitement, no drama. Just a functional, efficient and comfortable vehicle that made my life easier both at work and with my family.

Which is just what I’d be looking for in this kind of CUV.
