Blanleil applauds crowd control tactics by police Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
If Vancouver can ditch its “no fun city” label and earn praise for its approach to crowd control, so too could Kelowna, according to comments made by one city councillor this week. Coun. André Blanleil took time at Monday’s council meeting to praise the police forces involved in Olympic crowd control saying they demonstrated the “paramilitary” approach to large-scale gatherings is not the right route to take. “I just had to mention how good a job I thought the Vancouver police did and the police down there (in dealing with) the public,” he said. “I was down on Robson and it was mayhem, but they did a good job there. “They were friendly. They were high-fiving people. The attitude that they brought was really Andre Blanleil something that hopefully we can learn (from) in the future…that (when) dealing with crowds it is really much better if you have the attitude of just being friendly and persistent.” Like Vancouver, Kelowna has struggled in its approach to crowd control over the years. In Kelowna’s case, the most recent issues surfaced with Wakefest, an event eventually cancelled due to policing problems, crowd control and the beach party atmosphere it promotes. By taking a “friendly and welcoming approach,” as Blanleil put it, the Olympic security forces were able to prevent major problems without resorting to confrontation, even earning themselves international and national praise. In last Saturday’s edition of the Globe and Mail, reporter Francis Bula analyzed the computer models used to anticipate where crowds would flow, pointing out See Olympics A11

GEOLOGIST Murray Roed points out a seam of ancient glacial till, the remnant of a glacier which must have passed through more than 1.6 million years ago. It was discovered during construction of the Highway 97 and Westside Road interchange on Westbank First Nation land. JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

Interchange construction uncovers rare find Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
One of the most fascinating and significant geologic features in the province has been uncovered during construction of the multi-million dollar Westside Road interchange project on Westbank First Nation land. In fact, it could be one of the oldest undisturbed soil deposits found yet in Canada, says geologist Murray Roed. It’s certainly a first for the Okanagan and Central B.C., and studies currently underway could date it at two million years of age. Certainly, it’s older than 1.6 million years of age, which is when a flow of lava from the Lambly
Creek volcano, which it’s believed came from Lambly (Bear) Lake, has been dated, because it’s below the Lambly Creek basalt, created by that flow, he explains. What’s been uncovered is glacial till, the unsorted and undisturbed remnants of silt, clay, sand, pebbles and boulders left behind when a glacier melted here, and it’s the first proof there was a glacier here more than 1.6 million years ago. We have the most information on the Fraser Glacier, which melted about 10,000 years ago, as dated by a tree trunk dug up in Penticton. The Fraser Glacier went through 20,000 to
25,000 years ago, but there was another brief period of glaciation earlier than that, and then 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, the Okanagan Centre Glacier went through here. There was also an inter-glaciation period 100,000 years ago, says Roed. Other than this discovery, the only evidence of glaciation further back than 1.6 million years is in the Wells Gray area, at Mt. Edizza in Northern B.C. and a spot in the Yukon, he says. This is a first for the Okanagan and central B.C. Without the blasting done to create the road
network around the new interchange at Highway 97 and Westside Road in West Kelowna, we would never have known about what existed here that long ago, Roed says. “This will be a famous locale,” Roed notes. Fellow scientists are taking samples to study what the ancient climate was like here; what vegetation grew here and what the environment was like. Soil scientist Scott Smith, of the Pacific Agrifood Research Centre in Summerland, has taken samples to study for information about the environ-
ment of that time, while paleoecologist Rolf Matthews, from Simon Fraser University, was here Friday to sample the organic portion of the soil that’s been uncovered to determine whether there is any pollen in it. Such knowledge could help determine more exactly how old this seam of glacial till is. It could even be the first glaciation in Canada at the start of the ice age two million years ago.

A
new book authorized by Dr. Abraham Morgantaler M.D. called “Testosterone for Life� discusses many published studies showing that men with higher testosterone levels live longer and have lower rates of diabetes and heart attacks. The book was based on an expert research team out of Harvard University and their published studies, finding that there is no basis to assert that healthy testosterone levels in aging men causes prostate cancer. The author freely admits his own mistaken beliefs and the book describes how he uncovered the real facts. “Testosterone for Life� compiled scientific facts that showed
men with low testosterone levels have an increased percentage of prostate cancerpositive biopsies and were more likely to get prostate cancer. Men with healthy testosterone levels have a healthy sex drive and an increase of energy and well-being. On the other hand men that have low testosterone levels experience loss of muscle mass and strength, low energy and fatigue, accumulated belly fat, low bone density, increased incidence of heart disease & type 2 diabetes, loss of motivation, depressed mood and general loss of vigor and well-being. Also they have decreased sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, difficulty achieving orgasm
and a reduced intensity of orgasm. Many aging men turn to hormone replacement therapy to increase their testosterone levels and often find that they end up with increased belly fat and mood swings. It is not recommended to use hormone replacement therapy if a man has a chance of having active prostate cancer. I prefer to use one of the safest methods to correct hormone imbalances through using supplements like Calcium D-Glucarate, lipotrophic nutrients, Indole-3-Carbinol or better yet get a combination formula like ‘Ultimate Male Energy.’

If you’re a man over 35, you are probably already starting to feel the debilitating effects of lower testosterone and higher estrogen levels. Restoring testosterone to optimal levels has been proven to: increase muscle mass (which sets the stage for a decrease in body fat); boost brain function, including memory, visual acuity and concentration, strengthen the bones, lower insulin and protect the heart—reducing virtually every cardiovascular risk factor, including high cholesterol and high blood sugar.
Excitement contagious about glacial till revelation Find from A3 University of Lethbridge, is a paleo-magnetism specialist who has taken samples of the sand below the glacial till and the soil profile and volcanic layers to determine where the north pole was at that time. Just as intriguing to scientists is the thick deposit of sand, with clay intrusions, which is underneath, so older than, the glacial till. Roed’s eyes sparkle when he dreams about the possibility of drilling even deeper, below the sand layer, to learn from cores even more about the history of the Okanagan. In spots, he points out the clay bank that has somehow been injected into the sand layer. He speculates this could have been the result of the sand being highly saturated with water, even soupy, when a major glacier moved in. It could have pressed down on the soupy sand and caused something to squirt up from below. Roed believes the area was probably forested two million years ago, and says there could even be animal fossils in the sand layer. He is hopeful this significant find can be preserved for future access; as an education tool and as the centrepiece of a museum.

Roed, who is one of the authors of Okanagan Geology, about the origin of the Okanagan Valley, was busy working on a new book on the geology of the South Okanagan in December when he was notified by Brent Beattie, senior geotechnical engineer for the transportation ministry, of the find at this construction site. Those working on
the site were surprised to run into sand and gravel below the layer of basalt, which they had expected to go much deeper. With much excitement and the cooperation of the WFN, he has since been a frequent visitor to the site to further investigate the find. And, he’s finding that excitement is contagious. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

with threats and a knife. He also faced the most recent of a string of convictions for driving while prohibited. Crown prosecutor Clarke Burnett noted Haley was pulled over by police on Nov. 9, 2009 while under a previous driving prohibition. Burnett said Haley had decided to plead guilty to several of the home invasion charges—possession of a controlled substance, being unlawfully in a dwelling house and two counts of possessing a firearm while prohibited. Burnett related that just before midnight on Dec. 12, 2009, an RCMP officer driving down Rutland Road was flagged down by a man named Neil Brown. Brown told the officer that Haley and another man who he had only known for a few days were in his apartment on Highway 33, making and selling crack cocaine. “They essentially planted themselves in his apartment and would not leave.� Burnett pointed out Haley was said to have shown up with a shotgun,
and sawed off the barrel while at the apartment. He noted Brown’s reluctance to contact police quickly was due to the presence of the firearm. “He was very fearful of them because of this weapon.� At 1:30 a.m. that morning, RCMP entered the apartment after Brown gave them the key. Officers found Haley and the other man inside, along with the sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun under Brown’s bed. The officers also found drug paraphernalia, shotgun shells and a small bag containing 0.5 grams of methamphetamines. Burnett said Crown and defense had agreed Haley should receive two years for the charges resulting from the incident, commencing from the date of his guilty plea. “He does have a history,� noted Burnett. Haley was already under a threeyear driving prohibition and a 10-year weapons ban from a break and enter in June of 2007. Crown prosecutor Norman Yates noted the court proceeding marked Haley’s sixth conviction
for driving while prohibited. He recommended a 90 day sentence and a three- to five-year driving prohibition, given the nature of Haley’s record. Yates said Haley had also entered a guilty plea to charges of uttering threats and carrying a concealed weapon. He recounted how on April 15, 2009, an RCMP officer saw Haley crossing a downtown street with a young woman at his side. The woman waved to catch the officer’s attention as they did so. When the woman went into an ATM to withdraw money, Haley waited outside. As the officer walked over to talk to Haley, Haley walked away. When the officer spoke to the woman, she said Haley had shown up at her home to collect a $300 drug debt. Yates noted the woman said Haley produced a knife and forced her to go the ATM to get cash. Haley was reported to have said: “If I don’t get my money now, someone is going to get hurt to-
night.� Yates added the woman was familiar with Haley and knew he had a reputation for violence. Defense lawyer Blaine Weststrate agreed with a sentence of two years overall for the charges. He noted Haley wanted to go through the federal penal system because of better programs there to help him. Weststrate said Haley is motivated by being a first-time father. He pointed out Haley has a nine-month-old baby with his common law wife, and is looking at an opportunity to straighten his life out and become a better father. Weststrate said Haley has a Grade 11 education and has been taking Grade 12 courses while at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. He pointed out that when Haley was a young boy, he was abused by prison guard Karl Toft at a juvenile detention centre in Fredericton, New Brunswick. “I would suspect that’s what’s at the base of Mr. Haley’s difficulties with society.� Weststrate pointed out Haley has never received an apology or any kind of redress. He asked for three years prohibition on Haley’s charge of driving while prohibited. Weststrate pointed out Haley does have aspirations and hopes to become a normal, productive citizen. Judge Gale Sinclair sentenced Haley to two years in prison minus 22 days, telling him: “Use your time wisely, and smarten up.� He also handed down a three year prohibition from driving, set to begin after Haley is released. Sinclair also sentenced Haley to a lifetime ban on owning weapons, as well as orders to provide a DNA sample for the national database.

Motorists settling in to HOV Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER
Six months after HOV lanes opened on Harvey Avenue to mixed reviews, the Ministry of Transportation says the new highway configuration is meeting its goals. The high occupancy vehicle curb lanes may still raise some questions around town, but district highways manager Murray Tekano said his office now fields very few inquiries about the system, unlike the influx of calls that occurred when the concept was introduced to Kelowna in September. Tekano said that the lanes are carrying the targeted 25 per cent to 30 per cent of traffic on Harvey Avenue and Highway 97, between Pandosy Street and Highway 33. “As I drive around town I’m noticing that that is relatively close to the volume of vehicles using the lanes,” said Tekano. “So HOV lanes are achieving their objectives and we are making way for the next stage, which are transit-related improvements in late summer or early fall.” By then, Bus Rapid Transit vehicles will receive signal priority at intersections along the HOV corridor, explained Tekano. Six Bus Rapid Transit stations and traffic signal priority equipment were installed as part of the project. “Those high occupancy vehicles stuck in the queue, hitting every signal will soon find the HOV lane gives them an advantage when approaching the intersection because the traffic progression will be modified and more coordinated when buses are given signal priority.” In the meantime, the biggest test for the HOV lanes is yet to come. The configuration hasn’t been tested during peak tourist season between the Victoria Day and Labour Day long weekends. However, the lanes will meet the challenge, according to Tekano. “As traffic volumes grow, I’m confident it will be absorbed by the HOV lanes.” Tekano said that motorists could also probably expect more enforcement of the HOV lanes to ensure they’re available for the increased traffic this summer. “There’s always going to be a certain amount
of violation. At the present time we’re not too concerned about that, but I think closer to the summer period, as traffic volumes grow, you’ll probably see enforcement stepped up.” The 5.7-kilometre stretch of HOV lanes are
the first in the B.C. Interior and opened September 20 as part of a $16 million federal/provincial/municipal infrastructure project aimed at improving traffic flows on Harvey Avenue/ Highway 97. Several curb lane
HOV lanes already exist in Greater Vancouver on Hastings, Granville Georgia and Clark Street and the Barnet Highway, primarily to facilitate transit, which is also a top priority for Kelowna’s HOV lanes.

Belgium even maintains a strawberry museum to enlighten people more about the use and medicinal value of this healthy and tasty fruit.

In his speech, Hansen said the provincial budget deficit for the coming year will be $2.8 million this year, as earlier announced, and will fall to $1.7 billion next year. He still expects to balance the budget by 2013.

Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR
B.C. Finance Minister Colin Hansen delivered a stand-pat budget Tuesday, with no new tax cuts or increases and predictions of modest economic recovery in B.C. in the coming year. Most of the big changes for B.C. have already been announced, including the harmonized sales tax that will extend B.C.’s seven-percent tax to a variety of services starting July 1. The budget confirms cuts to various ministries that were revealed last fall, with the forests ministry taking the biggest cut at six per cent over the next three years.
The budget projects total government employment to drop by 3,500 full-time positions over three years, or about 10 per cent of the workforce. The majority of those will be unfilled positions when people quit or retire. As many as 1,000 layoffs remain to be done, and those workers will have a chance to apply for other vacancies within government, Hansen said. Hansen continued to defend the HST, pointing out that more than one million B.C. residents with low incomes will get an HST rebate cheque in the mail every three months to offset their extra costs. Counting rebates, business tax cuts and personal income tax reductions that take effect this year, the

B.C. government expects total revenue to drop by $113 million with the HST in effect. Expenditure for health care rises to more than $16 billion for the next fiscal year, out of provincial program spending that totals $42.5 billion. To dramatize the growth of health care spending, Hansen announced that the entire $3.8 billion revenue from the harmonized sales tax will be required to go to health care, along with $3.7 billion in federal transfers, $1.7 billion paid in medical services plan premiums and the $686 million collected from B.C. smokers in tobacco taxes. Together, those revenue sources still fall more than $6 billion short of covering the health care bill.

Another replacement for cut funding will be $30 million for youth and disabled sports and another $30 million for arts programs. Total government revenue for the coming year is expected to be $39.2 billion with expenses of $40.6 billion. B.C.’s debt will rise from $48 billion this year to $56 million in 20122013.

While increased spending for health care will be covered, in part by the all the revenue generated by the new HST, the government has also returned the annual facilities grants it cut for schools across the province late last year.

INVENTORY CLEARANCE Another development by Gyro NEWS
▼ KELOWNA
Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna city council is looking at another comprehensive development zone, though this time for the Truswell Road area in South Pandosy, and situated on a popular Gyro Beach parking lot. The new zone would be used to amalgamate lots, in part on a city parking lot now used by beach-goers, to build an eight-story, curved building along Lakeshore Road named Aquarius. Council has tentatively approved the development to proceed, though it will come to public hearing with information on traffic flows, which appeared to be among the primary concerns for councillors Monday afternoon. “The parking lot that we own on this site, it’s very popular,” said Coun. Michele Rule, who asked if the parking plan is in place to make up for the loss. City staff have said the stalls will be replaced before the development proceeds. A temporary use per-
mit for Tiny Town Mobile Home Park should see the city add to the number of stalls available in the area, over and above what’s there today, though the parking will be on the other side of Gyro Beach. Coun. Luke Stack suggested he wasn’t thrilled with the solution, although pointed out the parking is probably not the major road council will be dealing with on the building. The city has asked for a maximum road allowance on the property, curtailing what the developer is able to accomplish, without any definitive idea of whether it’s needed. Discussion on whether or not to four-lane the Pandosy waterfront road has never been resolved. “We’re now continually scrimping on these new lots until we make that decision,” he said. There has been considerable talk of sticking with the narrower street on Pandosy, he added. Gordon Drive would be used as the major thoroughfare. It was suggested the decision will have to come in the impending discussion over the new Official
Community Plan document, which is expected this spring. The development itself was generally well received. “I like the curved shape of the building,”
said Coun. Robert Hobson. “I think it’s innovative.” The next step will see Aquarius come forward for public hearing.

Asthma is Increasing!
Asthma is effecting many more people in developed countries than ever before. Children are missing school, their parents are experiencing more time off work due to the complications of asthma. No one is quite sure why asthma is on the rise. Some studies suggest it is because most young children are now being raised in a much cleaner environment than they were years ago. This eliminates exposure to environmental irritants which prevents their young bodies from producing antibodies early to give them protection later in life. Therefore, they are without this natural protection and may be more vulnerable to environmental challenges.

There are two components to asthma. The individual susceptibility and environmental exposure. A person with asthma has more sensitive airways which react to challenges to a much greater degree. The big four challenges are irritants, infections, exercise, and emotions.

At SciMed we believe asthma is a primary protective response to irritants and other factors that could damage a persons sensitive airways. As a protection, when challenged the airways tighten up to cause the wheeze and the shortness of breath, associated with asthma.

Microbreweries in Kelowna will officially be able to sell to their product to interested tourists stopping by the plant, Kelowna city council has decided. Monday afternoon city staff presented councillors with the option of creating two new zoning categories to allow for onsite liquor sales. Under the current bylaws, microbreweries operating in industrial areas are not zoned to accommodate liquor
sales—a side business and promotional opportunity microbreweries throughout the province take advantage of to add pubs and tours to their facilities. Coun. Angela Reid noted she believes the move is progressive, noting she has a special affinity for the schnapps industry after visiting Austria. “Seeing how they use their orchard industry, it’s a great way to use fruit that’s not great for sale and a great way to add value to our agricultural industry,” she said. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

▼ CROWD CONTROL
Large police presence effective Olympics from A1 there was plenty of preparatory work done to ensure police officers were ready and waiting, game plan in hand, when the action started. And television interviews conducted by CTV and CBC showed several private liquor store owners who had accepted, if not supported, forced closures of their businesses the police used to get public drunkenness under control. Local RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon was among those manning the streets in Whistler. McKinnon said if there was one thing he saw that he really liked, it was those liquor store closures, which allowed cops to get a handle on the amount of booze revelers were able to consume. That said, McKinnon sees the Olympic crowd control and local events and crowd control issues—or those areas Kelowna might be able to learn and apply their approaches—as two different beasts. “Go back to Vancouver this Friday night and it will be the same issue that we deal with every weekend,” he said. From gangs to overtime pay for officers, the problems he faces supplying regular crowd control boils down to one issue— manpower. “It’s all about the number of police officers that are out there. There were hundreds and there needed to be,” he said. Where Olympic peace officers were dealing with a festive mood, when summer weekends get rolling in the Okanagan, or even outdoor events like Wakefest, the superintendent says he’s often dealing with individuals intent on committing crime. “You didn’t hear one iota about any gang during the Olympics,” he said. McKinnon points out that when organized crime gets involved, as they do with major Okanagan events, it changes the scene from a celebration to a problem crowd. McKinnon said it’s not often he can muster much more than 30 extra cops for an overtime shift, which amounts to an extra
Bill McKinnon $100 for his officers during the peak of their summer break. With only 140 officers on staff, and regular shift work, there simply aren’t enough hands on deck for him to pull in what’s needed to offer large-scale, low key crowd control of this nature. Blanleil is known for his pro-event approach, often pointing out the more tourists this city
draws, the better life will be for local business. But during this year’s budget deliberations, even he didn’t manage to muster council to add more than five more officers to McKinnon’s force. McKinnon, meanwhile, told the city he is burning his officers out and needed a minimum of 21 new uniformed cops and an administration CEO to improve the situation. He then agreed to settle for four officers and an admin CEO with the proviso council immediately begin a protective services review looking at where the police, downtown private security and so on are covering and where there are holes in the system. Coun. Robert Hobson suggested that the review should include a look at where additional revenue

Interior Savings joins forces with United Way for day of caring The United Way and Interior Savings Credit Union are organizing a special event for Friday, March 26. Called the Day of Caring, this hands-on volunteer event will offer volunteers from local businesses and organizations the opportunity to partner with local non-profit organizations to complete projects. “Day of Caring not only gives volunteers a first hand look at the need in our community,� said Harry Grossmith, CEO for United Way, “but volunteers also have the opportunity to see how these organizations are making a difference to help those most in need locally.� The United Way is currently accepting project requests from non-profit organizations as well as encouraging employees from organizations, businesses and unions to donate their time during this rewarding day. Last year’s one–day projects included painting office space, hiking with special needs individuals, organizing office materials, general maintenance, framing and data entry. Title sponsor for Day of Caring 2010 is Interior Savings. “Our credit union is built on the foundation of community membership,� said Barry Meckler, president and CEO of Interior Savings. “And we are proud to support the United Way in its dedication to keeping our communities healthy and thriving.� The Central Okanagan Teachers Association, also a sponsor, is encouraging support for Day of Caring. “Sponsoring the United Way Day of Caring was an easy decision for the Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association as teachers care deeply for their community and regularly volunteer for activities and events in our schools and in the community,� said Alice Rees, president of COTA. “Teachers donate hundreds of hours to teams, clubs and non-profit organizations. “While we can’t leave our classrooms to help out on Friday at the Day of

Exploring Africa during African Awareness Week The public is invited to explore Africa during African Awareness Week at UBC Okanagan. Events on the university campus all this week will highlight important issues and showcase life and culture from the African continent. Student Suud Nahdi, from Tanzania, organized the week with Uba Mohammed, a student from Kenya. Nahdi says he got
the idea during a visit to a student leadership conference at UBC in Vancouver, and immediately knew it was something he wanted to do in the Okanagan. “Part of my experience is people don’t really know Africa that well,” he says. “I thought we should do an Africa Awareness week—but not make it only about current issues and politics, but make

Pesticide use awareness deadline is approaching for city residents Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
You have a little over two weeks if you want to be notified of any commercial applications of pesticides in your neighbourhood in the coming season. To be notified you must register each spring with the City of Kelowna, even if you were registered under the city’s Commercial Pesticide Notification Registry last year. The registry was brought in seven years ago, and most years 250 to 300 people register to be notified of commercial spraying on abutting
residential properties. It does not cover pesticide application on agricultural properties. When registering, you must provide your name, street address, postal code, phone number, e-mail address, preference for same-day or previous-day notification and reasons for registering. Last year, the city also brought in a cosmetic pesticide ban, restricting the use of non-essential pesticides by homeowners on residential properties. Provincially-certified pesticide applicators can apply to be exempt from the bylaw.
“Certified applicants, who are properly trained on pesticide usage and healthier alternatives, can still apply chemical pesticides,” said marketing and communications coordinator Summer Bracey. “So we want to make sure residents have the option of knowing when spraying in their area is taking place. This is a valuable service for those who want to minimize their exposure to pesticides.” Register online at Kelowna.ca/ environment or call the pesticide hotline at 469-8556; or fax 8623314; or e-mail enviro@kelowna.ca

FORMER KELOWNA ROCKETS defenceman Duncan Keith celebrates Canada’s
gold-medal victory in hockey at the Olympic Games Sunday in Vancouver.
Grown in B.C. was golden for the Canadian hockey team at the 2010 Winter Olympics. A quartet of British Columbia defencemen wore gold medals around their necks after Canada captured the 2010 Winter Olympics men’s hockey crown with a 3-2 victory over the United States at Canada Hockey Place on Sunday. The tournament was a coming out party for Sicamous’s Shea Weber, the former Kelowna Rockets blue-liner who was named to the Olympic tournament all-star team even though he’s only 24 years old. Prior to the final game, Weber had a point in every
▼ OLYMPIC RUN
The team earned the bronze medal in Le Bihan’s first Olympics. The KLO graduate narrowly missed out on making the Olympic team in 2006. Now an Olympic medallist, Le Bihan told CP that his plans for this week included getting to know his son and discussing his future in the sport of bobsleigh. Son Beau Legend already has a knack for timing. Naomi told CP that Beau slept through most of the bobsleigh runs but awoke in time to watch his dad. “So I had to pick him up and hold him and then he went right back to sleep right after. It was like magic. He had to be awake for his dad,” she said.
game with two goals and three assists. His blistering blasts from the point had opposing defencemen, and his own teammates stationed in front of the net, diving for cover. One shot was so hard it went right through the net and wasn’t called a goal until officials checked the video replay later. Weber’s thunderous check on superstar Alexander Ovechkin set the tone for Canada’s 7-3 thrashing of Russia in the quarter-finals. In the final, Weber logged 21:34 minutes of ice time, second on the team only to Chris Pronger, although he was on the ice for both American goals. Hockey people have been high on Weber for a few years. Opposing teams fear his shot, his hits
and his defensive play. But since he’s with the Nashville Predators he plays in anonymity in a city where only country singers get publicity. Since being drafted in the second round, 49th overall in 2003, it might be considered he has overachieved. He’s played 301 NHL games and has scored 158 points, including 59 goals. Not bad for a kid who played for the Sicamous Eagles as a 16-year-old when they won the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League title and the western Canadian junior B crown in 2002. When Weber waffled about whether to be a forward or defenceman, his father James, a sawmill worker, told him to stick with the blueline because
it would give him a better shot at a pro career. And what a career it’s been already. Weber played a lot with Canadian captain Scott Niedermayer, a 36-year-old native of Cranbrook. “(Canada’s young players) stepped up in pressure situations. There’s not a lot of room for error, they were very solid,” said Niedermayer. The Cranbrook native and former Kamloops Blazer has won everything in his storied career —Memorial Cup, world junior championship, four Stanley Cups, world senior championship and Olympic gold twice. At the start of the tournament Niedermay-

New son wakes to watch dad It was quite an Olympics for Kelowna’s Chris Le Bihan. The Okanagan athlete claimed a bronze medal as a member of the four man bobsleigh team. But the Olympic medal wasn’t the biggest addition to Le Bihan’s life. Le Bihan and his wife Naomi also welcomed their first child during the Olympic Games and upon returning home this week the bobsledder met his son for the first time. “Two huge prizes,” Le Bihan told the Canadian Press. “He’s the biggest one, though. He’s incredible.” With driver Lyndon Rush at the helm, Canada’s four man bobsleigh team raced down the track in Whistler and narrowly missed a silver medal.

KELOWNA’S Chris Le Bihan steps out of the sled as pilot Lyndon Rush takes a moment to himself after his Canadian team placed third in the four-man bobsleigh at the Whistler Sliding Centre during the 2010 Winter Games on Saturday.
The UBC Okanagan Heat men’s volleyball season isn’t over after all. The Heat, who finished third at the BCCAA championship over the weekend in Victoria, have earned a berth into the CCAA national finals March 11 to 14 in Edmonton. Traditionally, only the top two teams from B.C. would advance to nationals, but the Heat, thanks in large part to a 17-1 overall record this season, were granted a wild card berth to the tournament. The door opened for UBCO because Fraser Valley—the second place team at provincials— failed to make a pre-tournament application for a spot at nationals. UBCO will head into the tournament as the fifth seed and will play host Humber College in the opening game.

“We’re excited to be a part of the national tournament once again,” said Heat head coach Greg Poitras. “While the committee rewarded our regular season, we’ll have time to reflect on that after CCAA nationals. Right now we are focusing on Humber College.” The Heat settled for bronze at the provincials at Camosun after being upset by the host Chargers in the semifinals in straight games, 25-22, 2521, 26-24. The Heat , which enjoyed a first round bye thanks to their 16-0 regular season record, couldn’t convert the extra day of rest into victory against Camosun, who had beaten CBC the night before in the quarterfinals. “Camosun really took us off guard in how well they executed,” said
Heat coach Greg Poitras. “They served us tough and played some of the best defense I’ve seen this year. At no point did the boys turn their backs on Camosun…we fought hard.” Despite the heartbreaking loss, the Heat displayed their resiliency on Saturday with a 3-1 win over VIU (25-22, 2325, 25-19, 25-22) to capture the bronze medal. Heat setter Preston Tucker was chosen as a tournament all-star. The Heat’s Nate Speijer was named the BCCAA’s player of the year in men’s volleyball. Speijer is joined on the first all-star team by Tucker, while middle Chris Howe made the allrookie team. Poitras was named the BCCAA’s coach of the year.

Spring Bumps One of the best times to go bump skiing is in the spring, spring skiing enthusiasts called the snow conditions that you sometimes get at that time of year “corn” snow because of it’s kernel like texture. This type of snow makes the bumps really soft and exciting to ski because when you hit them they often explode like popcorn popping. The line that you choose while skiing in the bumps is a really important point to consider. If you ski in the troughs, the hollows between the bumps, you are at the mercy of the slope and your turns are dictated by the shape of the bumps. If you only ski over the tops you might find yourself popping up into the air only to drop down to the next bump below which sometimes ends in an uncomfortable situation. Next time you’re out try this type of line, the sides of the bumps. This will leave you with more options. Ski into the face of the bump and try to leave a track on the side that looks like a smile if you look up at it from down the hill. A good solid pole plant over the crest of the bump will really help keep you balanced too. There’s still lots of great days of skiing left this season, make the most of your day by spending it with a pro from the Big White Ski & Board School. Josh Foster Director of Snow Sports Big White Ski Resort
Make no mistake, the UBC Okanagan Heat are ecstatic to have won their second consecutive gold medal in BCCAA women’s volleyball. Still, there’s one more order of business to take care of before the season can be considered a complete success. The Heat will be in Quebec next week to take aim at their second straight CCAA championship. UBCO will head to the nationals as the favourite and No. 1 seed after steamrolling their opposition last weekend at the provincial championship in Victoria. After taking out Fraser Valley in straight sets in Friday’s semifinal, the Heat followed up with a dominating performance in the gold medal final, downing Vancouver Island University 3-0 (2516, 25-18, 25-14) on Saturday night at Camosun College. The Heat, who went 16-0 during the regular season, have won a stunning 54 of 57 sets this season. Even as defending champs, Steve Manuel said there has been nary a

sign of complacency this season—a fact that was never more clear to the Heat head coach than at provincials. “I think they played their two best matches of the season,” Manuel said of his team. “They’re hungry and committed, they’re continuing to come along well as a team, and this is just one more step along the way. “Now we’ve won
provincials again, it’s time to move on focus on what they really want the most: another national championship.” Tournament MVP Alex Basso was nearly unstoppable in the final with 12 kills, while player of the match and setter Caitlin Nyhus ran a diversified offense throughout the match. Middle Kaylan Gouldsborough had six kills on six tries, with
Leigh Dreher and Kirsten Lawson chipping in with six kills each. Middle Sara Zaytsoff had four stuff blocks and four kills, and Alycia Bradstock came off the bench to provide the Heat with some strategic serving, including hitting her second ace to end the match. The Heat will be at CéGEP de l’Outaouais in Gatineau, Quebec for the national championship, March 11 to 14.

Rockets still search for scoring Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Based on the latest numbers—six losses in the last seven games—the Kelowna Rockets don’t give a convincing impression of being a playoffready hockey team. And despite playing well in a 4-0 win in Edmonton and competing hard the following night in a 2-1 loss to Calgary, the coaching staff continues to be concerned over the lack of goal production. Kelowna has scored just 14 times in the last seven games. The main culprit is the power play which has been virtually nonexistent with just one goal for the last 28 manadvantage chances. “The last two games D of the road trip were good games, I thought we played well in both Edmonton and Calgary,” said xRockets head coach Ryan
Huska. “At the same time, our power play wasn’t very good and we’re still having a lot of trouble scoring goals. We’re getting chances but we’re not bearing down the way we need to. We need to make sure our power play isn’t cute and that we do the simple things we need to do, get pucks to the net and pay the price. You don’t win a lot of hockey games when the score is 2-1. “We need get that figured out before the playoffs get here.” The Rockets, who host the Spokane Chiefs tonight at Prospera Place, have six games remaining to iron out their difficulties before the post season arrives. Kelowna will play the Chiefs twice, the Vancouver Giants twice, and Seattle and Prince George once each to close our the regular campaign. Exact-
ly where the Rockets finish could well come down to the final night of the regular season. Kelowna (30-30-24) shares sixth spot with Kamloops (30-31-24), with the Chilliwack Bruins (29-31-1-5) a mere two points back. The Rockets could end up with any one of five teams in the opening round of the playoffs— Tri-City, Vancouver, Everett, Spokane or Portland. Regardless of the scenario that unfolds, Huska said his club’s priority over the next 10 days is to get its game in order.”We have to focus on trying to be better in all areas of the game, but especially scoring,” said Huska. “As long as the players are working hard and bearing down, the results will come.”The Rockets will host the Seattle Thunderbirds Friday and the Vancouver Giants Saturday.

Bears bow to Titans in valley final find a way to get over the hump.” The fact that the Titans are the only team heading to the provincials March 16 to 20 in Vancouver is a disappointment to not only Broderick, but for all high school basketball programs in the Okanagan. Broderick said the lone valley berth awarded each year by the governing body for high school basketball in the province simply isn’t enough. “It’s not a true representation of the quality of basketball that’s played in the Okanagan,” said Broderick. “We’ve been pushing for years to get a second team in, so I don’t see it changing any time soon. (South Kamloops coach) Del Komarniski told me after that’s it’s too bad we weren’t going, that we deserved to be there, too. It’s just not right to have one berth from here when there’s 20 teams down there playing.” The Bears advanced to the Okanagan final after taking out the Kelowna Owls in Friday’s semifinal with a 103-89 win. Gabelhei had 30 points for Boucherie, while Taylor Loffler netted 36 for the Owls. Meanwhile, the Titans path to the final certainly wasn’t a cakewalk. The Kelowna Christian Knights—the defending provincial A champs—gave South Kam all it could handle in Friday’s other semifinal before going down 67-62. It was a three-point game with 17 seconds left before Wagner was fouled twice and finished the game off going 2-for4 from the line. Tyler Linttell scored 22 for the Knights. Gabelhei, Taylor Loffler (KSS), Dan Benson (KCS), Josh Wolfram (South Kam), and Tim
Guard Kyle Gabelhei saved a monstrous effort for his final game of high school basketball. But it wasn’t quite enough to vault his Mt. Boucherie Bears into the B.C. AAA boys championship later this month at the Agrodome. The favoured South Kamloops Titans survived Gabelhei’s stellar 38-point performance for a 91-79 victory Saturday night at Rutland Secondary to win the Okanagan Valley AAA boys championship. The Bears hung tough with their much bigger opponents for most of the opening quarter, but the Titans—thanks to seven three-point shots—had opened up a 13-point lead by half-time. Boucherie pushed back in the second half, but couldn’t close the gap against the No. 8 ranked Titans who booked the lone valley berth to provincials. David Wagner— the 6-foot-9 tournament MVP—scored 29 points for the Titans. The 6-foot-7 Spencer Jaroszuk added 20, while 6-foot-7 Josh Wolfram scored 14. Gabelhei’s fellow grad, Peter Flett, chipped in with 16 points and 15 rebounds for the No. 9 ranked Bears who drew plenty of admiration from their head coach, Kelly Broderick. “It’s hard to be upset with the kind of season we’ve had,” said Broderick, whose Bears posted a 36-5 overall record. “South Kamloops is quite a team to deal with..with all of their size. Then they started hitting all of those threes, uncharacteristically, and they kind of got away from us. I thought the guys came out and played well in the second half, we made them shake a little, but just couldn’t

In the span of two months the Okanagan Rockets went from favourite to underdog in the B.C. Major Midget League. The Rockets limped into the BCMML playoffs having lost seven games in a row and falling to a sixth place finish in the 11 team league. It means the Rockets will play each of its playoff games on the road, starting with this weekend when they travel to Vancouver to play the third place Northeast Chiefs. “The season starts this weekend,” said Rockets head coach Misko Antisin. “This is the real season, this is when you want to play. We have to wash the regular season from our memory. Everybody starts at zero and all you need is six wins.” The Rockets and

Chiefs play an opening round best-of-three series in Maple Ridge with games Friday, Saturday and Sunday, if necessary. The Rvockets earned a win and a tie against the Chiefs in games earlier in the season in Kelowna but lost two lopsided affairs in Vancouver during its losing skid to end the season. Antisin says his team has all the right pieces to be successful in the playoffs, despite the late season swoon. “I like our chances,”

Patients and their families using the Cancer Centre of the Southern Interior, adjacent to the Southern Interior Cancer Centre and the Kelowna General Hospital, will see the surrounding gardens spruced up by the team at Creative Roots Landscaping. Since 1994, Creative Roots Landscaping has become one of the leading landscape companies in Kelowna. “By giving our clients an exceptional service experience, we set the standard within our industry,” said Creative Roots owner Ryan Markewich. “As one of the only two commercial properties we take care of, the Southern Interior Rotary Lodge is dear to us since we have taken great pride in making their gardens beautiful since its inception”. When making the proposal to the Southern Interior Rotary Lodge to install landscaping mulch, it was brought to Markewich’s attention that the associated cost was not part of this year’s budget. It did not take much for the crew at Creative Roots to make the decision to include this as part of their annual give back to the community. “Our Open Book Management style really engages our team and brings out the best in us. By knowing where the
company and each individual stand financially, and by sharing in the outcome with a proven bonus system, we are able to focus on the things that make us better people and a stronger company,” said Markewich. The installation of the landscape mulch will take place on Friday, March 5, beginning at 9:30 a.m. With the full crew working, the job will take only a few hours to complete. Creative Roots has been giving back for the last several years with initiatives such as: • 2007: One per cent of company profit donated to charities picked by the team • 2008: Along with generous suppliers, gave back a 1/2 acre landscape complete with brick patios, irrigation, raised planters, and a playhouse to a local family during Kelowna’s first Extreme Makeover called Project Family Room (www.projectfamilyroom.org) • 2009: Customer based food bank and cash donation. For 2010, Creative Roots Landscaping is targeting $25,000 in give back—but there’s only one condition attached: Markewich doesn’t want to get involved in which charities are chosen—he leaves that up to his team to decide.
Genealogical society hosts research night The Kelowna & District Genealogical Society will host a family research night Monday, March 15, 7 to 9 p.m., at the Hawthorne Park Retirement Community, 867 KLO Rd. in Kelowna.

When Salmon Arm writer Karen Bissenden was accepted into the UBC Okanagan writer-in-residence program she didn’t expect the experience to leave such a lasting and meaningful impression. “I left with a new perspective on my writing style,” said Bissenden, who met last year with novelist Fred Stenson, the 2009 writer in residence at
UBC Okanagan. Stenson suggested foundation ideas for her writing, which “allowed me to understand some of my strengths, and taught me a technique of looking at my story from another point of view,” she said. “It was an excellent opportunity. I have written a number of stories since that session— feedback is always inspiring,” added Bissenden, who has published one book of poetry and a number of magazine articles.
“There are many writers like me—not in a school environment and without the financial means to pay editing fees. Free feedback from capable authors? Who wouldn’t apply?” Sponsored by the department of creative studies at UBCO, the writer-in-residence program is an annual community service available to residents in the Central Okanagan. The program allows 16 selected local writers to get free
critiques of their work. This year, novelist and poet Laisha Rosnau will spend two weeks, from March1 to 15, on the UBCO campus as the third annual writer-in-residence. Rosnau’s second collection of poetry, Lousy Explorers, was released in 2009, and her first, Notes on Leaving won the Acorn-Plantos Poetry Award in 2005. Her novel, The Sudden Weight of Snow, was an honourable mention for the Ama-
zon/Books in Canada FirstNovel Award. In addition to meeting with local writers, Rosnau will be giving a free public reading on Thursday, March 4, 7 p.m., at the downtown Kelowna branch of the Okanagan Regional Library, 1380 Ellis St. Nancy Holmes, head of the department of creative studies, says Bissenden’s response to the writer-in-residence program reflects the feedback she has received
from local writers who have taken part in the program. “A writer in residence puts a rare creative resource at the disposal of a community,” said Holmes. “Emerging writers often work in isolation, especially once they have taken a few creative writing courses and perhaps no longer have a regular writing group. “The writers in residence can offer encouragement and excellent editorial and publishing advice.”

Now, beyond the podium
F
rom the incredible tragedy of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili perishing in a crash, to the coastto-coast elation when Canada downed the U.S. in overtime to clinch men’s hockey gold on the final day of competition, the Vancouver Winter Olympics ran the gamut of human emotion. Sunday’s hockey game will stand as the iconic moment of the 2010 Games, at least in Canada. People will always remember where they were when Sid-
ney Crosby scored. Prior to the Games, it was widely written that if the Canadian men’s hockey team lost, the Olympics would be a writeoff for Canada. But that mentality cheapens the accomplishments of the other athletes, who contributed 13 other first-place finishes in a history-making gold rush. There was Alex Bilodeau’s thrilling victory in the freestyle moguls—Canada’s first gold medal on home soil—as his
brother Frederic, who lives with cerebral palsy, cheered him on. There was Kevin Martin’s foursome crushing the competition in curling; Maelle Ricker soaring to the podium in snowboard cross; Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir bringing golden class and grace to ice dance; and Canadian speed skater Marianne St-Gelais going bonkers in the stands as her boyfriend Charles Hamelin raced to gold in the 500-metre short track event. And who could forget the
heart-breaking determination of Joannie Rochette, the Canadian figure skater who won a bronze medal just days after her mother died. The Olympic torch has been extinguished, but the memories from the Vancouver Games will endure. Canada has gained a new confidence, forged a new unity between its people and provinces, and earned a place of honour on the global stage. Those achievements go far beyond the podium.

Hockey is, after all, supposed al moments, the inspirational efforts.
But on the streets of the city it always came back to joyous celebration— embracing of the moment—that stood out to define these Games. The event gave Canadians a reason to celebrate being Canadian. It’s something we do not do enough of in this country. While hockey may be our game, up until a few weeks ago, overt, ostentatious and even spontaneous displays of patriotism and exuberant national pride were not. And, like our athletes on the ice and snow, when it came to wrapping ourselves in the flag on the street—literally and figuratively—we owned the podium. It may have come as a shock to
visitors to see Canada’s red and white tide of public patriotism, but it should not have come as a surprise to anyone who lives here. It has been building for years. While the national chest-thumping and flag-waving of our cousins to the south may have long defined a difference between us, the sight of Canadian flags in everyday use has become far more common in Canada in last 10 years. Canadians are just as patriotic, we have just been quieter about it in the past. But, as Vancouver showed, not any longer. And that also goes for telling the world we want to be the best. It was ironic that so much derision was aimed at Canada’s Own
The Podium program by other nations. Don’t they have programs aimed at training their athletes to be the best they can be? Don’t they send their teams here to win? They may not have called their programs Own The Podium but that’s what they want to do. For all its pomp, ceremony and politics, the Olympics—summer and winter—are sports competitions. And in any competitions, you go in wanting to win. And there’s nothing wrong with saying so. Alistair Waters is the assistant editor of the Capital News. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Going for bronze won’t cut it with Canadians anymore To the editor: Re: Chasing The Olympic Dream, Capital News, Feb. 26 Welcome to the spirit of striving to Own the Podium as our newfound Canadian identity. Turning the “Pursuit of Excellence” into a “Quest for Adequacy,” the then federal sports minister Stephen Owen, at the opening of the Olympic Summer Games in 2004, opined: “I think we’ve got to be really careful about a fixation on medal numbers,” sagely adding so that there could be no misunderstanding: “We’re all interested in it, but it’s not really indicative of sport health in our country.” In this country of ours
where the sheer competitive spirit of winning is often frowned upon as somehow “un-democratic” and “un-Canadian— too American,” Stephen Owen’s sentiments conveniently lowered the bar for all of us, making a virtue out of losing by nobly reaffirming that: It’s not whether we win or lose, it’s how we play the game. After all, at the close of the 2004 Athens Summer Games, Mr. Owen expressed the quintessentially Canadian spirit by gushing that “…when you look at the list across all the sports—a fourth here, and a ninth there and a seventh here and a tenth there and a sixth here,
those are world-champion results.” Lack of funding may indeed have contributed to the poor showing of Canada’s athletes at the Calgary Winter Olympics in 1988 and the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, but the remarkable performance of our athletes during the Turin Winter Games, together with a determination for us to excel and strive to “Own the Podium” in the Vancouver Winter Games in 2010, is a hopeful sign that, in life as in sports, Canadians may no longer be satisfied with merely going for the “bronze.”

would be required to provide a $10-million public subsidy for infrastructure. It is understandable that ex-mayors Jim Stuart and Walter Gray supported the bylaw since Phil Milroy, the man whose properties are the centre for the plan, has been a big supporter of them. Mr. Stuart signed the nomination papers when Mr. Gray ran for council. In turn, Mr. Gray supported the creation of Mr. Stuart’s legacy park. Unfortunately, in 2003, the city could only pony up $400,000 of the estimated $10 million cost to build Stuart Park. Enter Mr. Milroy, who agreed to partner with the city to offset some of the Stuart Park costs in exchange for rezoning considerations for the nearby Willow Inn and Blenk properties he had optioned. To make Stuart Park a reality, the city had to tie it to a private downtown development on the waterfront. To do so, the city created the Downtown Waterfront Plan, a multimillion dollar project to upgrade the waterfront, create Stu-
Frightened people drive by protected by steel and glass, feeling powerless to help.
Spend on daycare, not planning
To the editor: I wonder if all the money that has been spent on the downtown redevelopment plan would have been better utilized funding the so called “extras” on the city’s plan like public daycare and affordable housing. Then at least, we would have something to show for all the time and money and years of hard work people have put into the development plan. It’s interesting that these essential services are tacked on as something prop-
erty owners should be responsible for because they are being told their properties will be sold at higher valuations. When do the city councilors think this will happen if they can’t agree on a development plan? Instead, I the city should start being held accountable for their spending on redevelopment plans. I think it’s time to figure out how to properly fund these “extras” instead of spending on so called “planning.” Patricia Howorko, Kelowna

husband, Brad Cronquist, is a lawyer who is part owner of an office building in the area. The 2009 Annual Report for the Urban Development Institute’s Pacific Region lists Mr. Cronquist as a director of the Kelowna Chapter. The UDI is the largest pro-development lobby in Canada. The 2009 UDI Annual Report also lists Gail Temple, of Westcorp Properties, as chair of the Kelowna chapter. Westcorp Properties is Mr. Milroy’s company planning the CD-21 zone. Ms. Temple is coordinating the planning of the CD21 zone project with city staff. It is hard to demonstrate that the four-squareblock CD-21 plan is in the public’s interest given the lack of information regarding public costs and benefits involved and the strong lobby group Mr. Milroy has.

art Park and integrate Mr. Milroy’s plans for downtown into both City Park and Kerry Park. The local press reported that Mr. Milroy paid about $750,000 of the city’s roughly $1 million costs to redevelop downtown. The city’s cost for this partnership was about $250,000. Mr. Milroy cut an initial cheque for $200,000 to get the CD-21 plan rolling. The remaining $550,000 was probably spread out between the CD-21, Downtown Waterfront Plan and the Stuart Park plan. Stuart Park is now under construction. The majority of the $10 million Phase 1 cost will be paid for by the city and will be deficit financed by borrowing, taxation, developer cost charges and an 8 per cent public subsidy that offsets developer costs for new parklands. It is also understandable that Nicole Rustad lent her support to the CD21 zone and organized a public rally for Mr. Milroy’s project. According to the Capital News, her

Private interests at core of CD-21 plan To the editor: I believe Kelowna council’s decision to rescind second and third reading of the CD-21 Zone bylaw plan to redevelop downtown was the correct decision because it was made to protect public interests. The CD-21 rezoning plan is a private/public partnership but the partnership has not demonstrated that it is a matter of public convenience and necessity requiring taxpayer support. City staff have not fully justified the project plan. There have been no detailed public cost estimates presented for public review that show the long-term costs of the project over the 15-year build out and beyond. There will be public subsidies for road, water, sewer and park infrastructure that are determined by the number of residential units built into the project. Developers can amend the density and number of units in the CD-21 Zone as needed. Should 5,000 units be built with a $2000 subsidy for each unit, the city

a better plan for downtown redevelopment. The 2007 Spaxman report to the city recommended that a new comprehensive plan be developed for the entire 30-block downtown area and surrounding neighbourhoods. The new plan should have significant public input to ensure a variety of planning options come forward for evaluation. Each of these options needs to be assessed for their long term impacts on the community and their public costs and benefits before being eliminated or chosen to move forward. Spaxman recommended that rezoning be done after the plan is brought forward to maximize public benefit from the options. The CD-21 zone was fast-tracked to promote only Mr. Milroy’s option and needs to be dropped like a hot potato. Richard Drinnan, Kelowna

rritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is generally classified as a “functional” disorder. A functional disorder refers to a disorder or disease where the primary abnormality is an altered physiological function (the way the body works), rather than an identifiable structural or biochemical cause. It characterizes a disorder that generally cannot be diagnosed in a traditional way; that is, as an inflammatory, infectious, or structural abnormality that can be seen by commonly used examination, x-ray, or blood test. IBS occurs when muscles in your intestines contract faster or slower than normal. This causes pain, cramping, gassiness, sudden bouts of diarrhea, and constipation. It is also known as spastic colon. Though no prescription medications specifically treat IBS, antidepressant and anti-anxiety drugs are sometimes used for people with mental depression or chronic pain, or for people who have symptoms that worsen during periods of stress. The anticholinergic drug L-hyoscyamine (Levsin, Levbid) may be used to treat colon muscle spasms and abdominal soreness. This medication may cause flushing of the face, problems sleeping, head-

John Sherman ache, blurred vision and drowsiness, increased sensitivity to light, constipation, dry mouth, reduced sweating or thirst. Some people with IBS have greater trouble absorbing the sugars lactose (as found in milk), fructose (as found in high concentration in fruit juice and dried fruit), and sorbitol (as found in some dietetic candy) than do people without IBS. In a recent study, restricting intake of these sugars led to reduction in symptoms in 40 per cent of people with IBS. There are many other dietary factors to consider for a person dealing with IBS, such as avoiding dairy products and increasing fibre in the diet as well as supplementing the diet with essential fatty acids that are present in oils such as flax and primrose. By no stretch of the imagination is this list complete, it is merely a start. The treatment of IBS with homeopathy has an incredible success rate.

abdominal distention with much flatulence, and the sensation of a lump in the throat that is relieved by swallowing and belching. Symptoms are worse after eating, from sitting, at night and on the left side, but relieved by pressure and by motion in the open air. These are just three possible remedies for IBS. It is important to keep in mind that in classical homeopathy there are many possible remedies for any one chronic disease, depending on an individual’s symptom picture. Other diseases of the bowel that can benefit from homeopathy are Crohn’s disease and colitis. Crohn’s disease usually affects the endmost portion of the small intestine, called the “ileum.” Ulcerative colitis shows up in the lower intestine and the rectum. These conditions, however, do take longer to treat and may require some time to get the desired results. John Sherman is a professional classical homeopath in Kelowna.

remedy, Asafoetida, has been evaluated as a potential treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. In a 14week, double-blind trial, about 100 people with irritable bowel syndrome received Asafoetida in a 3X potency or placebo. The results indicated that participants taking the homeopathic remedy improved to a greater extent than those taking placebo. VW Rahlfs and P Mossinger in Germany undertook this study in 1978. Two other remedies have also been found to be quite effective with IBS, colocynthis and lycopodium. The remedy colocynthis, is indicated when abdominal pain is described as cutting or cramping, often coming in waves, and relieved by firm pressure or by doubling over. Pain is usually increased by eating or drinking, as well as by the emotions of anger or indignation. Pain often reaches its peak just prior to diarrhea. The homeopathic remedy lycopodium is indicated when symptoms include band-like pain around the waist, severe flatulence and bloating, and frequent heartburn. Asafoetida, the remedy tested in the doubleblind study described above, is indicated when there is constipation alternating with profuse, offensive, watery diarrhea,

▼ TAX SCAM
Police say beware of banking information request Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
Tax season is also the time of year for a newly circulating scam aimed at banking information. RCMP Const. Steve Holmes said a fraud scam cir-
culating by letter or e-mail claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. “The letter or e-mail states that there is money to be claimed by the victim from the CRA, and all that is required is for the victim to provide certain information so that their file
can be ‘updated’ and the monies released,” Holmes said. Holmes said the communication asks for information to be faxed or e-mailed to them and provides a fax number. He said the letter looks official, but fraudsters are seeking identity and banking infor-
mation from victims in order to access their bank accounts. “It is an entirely criminal operation and one that can be easily sidestepped if one is willing to equip oneself with a little bit of important information.” Holmes pointed out the
Canada Revenue Agency will not request personal information of any kind by e-mail, divulge taxpayer information to another without formal authorization, or leave personal information on an answering machine. He added that discov-
ered frauds can be reported to Phonebusters at 1-800-4958501. Examples of the fraudulent letters and emails can be found on the Canada Revenue Agency website. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

Intensive job skills program aimed at energy efficiency
A
few weeks ago, a former U.S. fighter pilot named Kermit Tyler died at the age of 96. It was what he did— or didn’t do—in his workplace at age 28 that earned him a place in history. Lieutenant Tyler’s D story was told by Gordon Prange in his book, At Dawn We Slept. The date was Dec. 7, 1941, and Tyler was the pursuit officer and assistant controller on duty at the Fort Shafter Information Centre in Hawaii. His job was to assist the controller in ordering U.S. planes into the air to intercept incoming enemy oplanes. - At just after 7 a.m., Tyler was one of only two -men on duty in the Inforemation Centre (the other was the switchboard operator). Unbeknownst to Tyler, 350 Japanese fighters, bombers, and torpedo planes were descending upon Pearl Harbor in two waves at that moment. Approximately 90 minutes earlier, the Japanese air armada had begun to launch from six aircraft carriers located some 200 miles south of the Hawaiian islands. Their objective was to deliver a crippling blow to the American Pacific fleet as a prelude to a declaration of war with the United States. The switchboard operator received a call from the Opana Mobile Radar Station, located about 30 miles away. He passed the call to Tyler, who heard that Opana had detected a flight of incoming aircraft— described by the oscillo-
LEGAL EASE
Robert Smithson scope operator as the biggest sighting he had ever seen. Tyler made the assumption that the blips picked up at Opana represented a flight of American B-17 bombers arriving from the mainland. His response to Opana was: “Well, don’t worry about it.” The rest, as they say, is history. The Japanese invaders caught Pearl Harbor napping, devastated the Pacific fleet and inflicted thousands of casualties and fatalities. To be fair to Tyler, his wasn’t the only glitch in the lead-up to what is now referred to simply as Pearl Harbour. Numerous other indications that an attack was imminent also went un-

delivered or unheeded. Even had he acted with dispatch, it is unclear just how much Tyler could have done to ward off the impending disaster—he was just a small cog in a very big military bureaucracy. Tyler’s conduct that day indicated a state of mind which afflicts many large organizations. It is the tendency of employees in large organizations to do nothing, even when faced with a situation calling for positive action. In his book The Ten Commandments for Business Failure, former president of the CocaCola company, Donald Keough, described a lesson he learned about how people operate in a large bureaucracy. “They never say no. They just don’t do what you want when you want.” The tendency of employees to lose their sense of urgency and their motivation to take individual action is one which managers constantly battle in large organizations. Tyler’s ill-fated assumption in 1941 may have been an example of that workplace dynamic. What must have been particularly galling to his superior officers is that detecting incoming aircraft and instigating a response was precisely the reason why he was at the Information Centre. The specific duty with which he had been entrusted was the one he failed to exercise at the most critical moment. Tyler’s conduct may also have been a gross example of what I call
“What are the chances?” decision-making. Sometimes in business—probably more often than you’d think —the worst case scenario is dismissed simply on the basis that it doesn’t seem very likely to come to pass. It’s also one of the methods of decision-making which is most fraught with the potential for disaster. As I frequently tell employers, if your decision-making is reliant on nothing more than chance, you’re courting trouble. I imagine that Lieutenant Tyler spent most of his adult life contemplating, and trying to explain, the events of Dec. 6, 1941. Surely, he would have given anything to have had a second opportunity to react to that call from Opana Mobile Radar Station. His was a lesson employers would be well-advised to learn. What’s the alternative? Well, don’t worry about it. Robert Smithson is a lawyer in Kelowna practicing exclusively in the area of labour and employment law.

Terasen Gas today announced a new program designed to provide atrisk participants in British Columbia with training and teach them essential trade skills in the growing area of energy efficiency retrofits. The REnEW (Residential Energy and Efficiency Works) program —funded by Terasen Gas, FortisBC, and B.C. Hydro, and developed with the John Howard Society and Vancouver ACCESS BladeRunners—targets individuals who are overcoming employment barriers because of life challenges such as mental health issues, a history of substance abuse, poverty or homelessness. “The goal of the REnEW program is simple: support individuals striving to overcome extreme life challenges, while creating a much-needed pool of skilled workers in an exciting and emerging field,” said Doug Stout, vice-president of marketing and business development at Terasen Gas. “We’ve worked with industry experts to design an intensive program to help these individuals master the fundamentals of energy efficiency technologies and installation to help them unlock their career potential.” The first of two, fourweek intensive training programs began this week in Kelowna, and will be followed by a Vancouver program in March.

REnEW in communities across the province where there are already existing energy efficiency programs. “We recognized the need for people skilled in the growing area of energy efficiency retrofits and were pleased to be able to bring our utility partners and the John Howard Society together in the Okanagan,” said Michael Mulcahy, FortisBC’s vicepresdent of customer and corporate services. Terasen Gas created the training modules with input from B.C. Hydro, the Southern Interior Construction Association and the Aboriginal Community Career Employment Services Society (ACCESS). Graduates from the program will be able to educate customers on energy conservation techniques and be qualified to work with contractors that are employed through existing utility retrofitting programs such as B.C. Hydro’s Energy Conservation Assistance Program. “Conservation will continue to play a key role in meeting our province’s future electricity needs and we are offering our customers numerous programs to advance conservation and energy efficiency,” said Lisa Coltart, executive director of Power Smart and Customer Care for B.C. Hydro. “We are pleased to support this program to invest in the training and capacity required to sup-
port the conservation efforts of our British Columbians.” Terasen Gas is working with social services providers the John Howard Society in the Okanagan and BladeRunners in the Lower Mainland to reach out to potential REnEW candidates. Both social services organizations are committed to helping youth-atrisk, aboriginal communities and those who face barriers to long-term employment. “The John Howard Society is extremely pleased to be involved in such an innovative and collaborative training program that will, quite literally, change the lives of those who participate as well as have significant economic and environmental benefits for the broader community,” said Shelley Cook, executive director of the John Howard Society of the Central and South Okanagan. “This is an emerging field that we are confident our participants will want to explore.” “We’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response to the program,” added John Webster, CEO and president of ACCESS. “These students may have different challenges, but they are all united by a determination to learn and succeed.” To learn more about the REnEW program in the Okanagan, contact the John Howard Society at 250-763-1331.

would like to share with you this week some thought concerning the entrepreneurial investor and the broad aspect of the self-employed idea person who successfully launches their perceived opportunity confident that one brilliant idea they had just might result in a windfall of financial fortune. The entrepreneur who attains the level of an owner/leader enjoys remarkable benefits by knowing how to step aside and let the entrepreneurial venture itselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and those working within itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;operate as a profit centre not reliant on the entrepreneur/ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands-on participation. This kind of entrepreneur, many of whom reside in the Okanagan Valley, create an organization that is more self-sufficient and self-sustaining and by doing so has created more wealth, personal freedom and free time.
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young Investing for maximum return involves smart leverage of existing assets, and the entrepreneurial investor will often leverage the success of the first business they create to create a second or third company based on the original model or system they began with. Think about this with me for a brief moment. By franchising the original model or buying into other healthy business ventures, the entrepreneurial investor can get into the career of not just selling basic products and services, as valued as they may be, but of selling entire business ventures.

thought that draws my attention, a sort of financial rewards chess game. The goal here is, of course, to still create profit. So rather than remain at the helm of this myriad of ventures, the entrepreneurial investor will buy them, ensure that they have valuable equity or some attractive allure and potential, and then sell them to other entrepreneurs or budding entrepreneurs-in-waiting. The focus may be seen then as comparable to a real estate investor who finds, buys homes, rehabs them and flips them for a profit. The challenge is to avoid falling back into the role of operating the venture as an administrator or manager and to meet this problem with a viable solution. The true entrepreneur will typically appoint someone else to take over the reins of the venture.
Then, the investor becomes more of a director or silent partner of sorts who shares in the profits while enjoying the relief of not having to share the routine responsibilities of operating the entrepreneurial venture from the inside. The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;entrepreneurial investorâ&#x20AC;? links investors with entrepreneurs and with good reason. They have many traits in common. Both invest time and money with a goal of realizing a profit for their equity. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re self-confident, independent and have the ability to remain in a positive frame of mind whether they win or lose. Unlike most of us, they envision the future clearly it seems and they do persevere, which is a common trait of all entrepreneurially-minded people. Recognizing the entrepreneur within often takes time and patience. Many different types
of people are drawn to entrepreneurship and a wide variety of talents, aptitudes and personal traits help to contribute to an â&#x20AC;&#x153;entrepreneurial spirit, personality and definitely, vision.â&#x20AC;? The attitude, mindset, passion and character that I so often write about in this column that define the successful entrepreneur are sometimes hard to pinpoint or sum up in a profile. But, it is always easy to recognize in an individual or spot in an action within a business arena. By having us examine some of the more predominant qualities of the true entrepreneur, it is possible to emulate them, nurture and develop them or simply to acknowledge whether or not we are actually suited to an entrepreneurial careerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;particularly, an investorminded one. Learning about the symptoms and traits of
the entrepreneurial investor can give added fuel, hope and impetus with what potential entrepreneurs already know about themselves and their personal and financial aspirations. Having even an inventory of desirable characteristics can help us better clarify our sense of financial and personal reward purpose. It can help us reach objectives en route to greater attainment of higher goals and bigger benchmarks. It can help us also grasp in a practical and tangible way, the disposition of the successful entrepreneur and indeed, entrepreneurial investor in a manner of a wonderfully inspiring boost of confidence, foresight and determination when we can realize and accept, that we, too, may share that winning entrepreneurial attitude. I would like to conclude with six steps to
success that the entrepreneurial investor may undertake to embark on a journey of investment pursuitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; begin with a vision, identify your action plan and your contingency plan, seek knowledge wherever you can, re-evaluate regularly, stay focused and resist the temptation to make decisions randomly. So, embrace with me the thought that this is precisely what successful investors and entrepreneurs have in commonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; an uncanny ability to use their â&#x20AC;&#x153;premeditated planning processâ&#x20AC;? to analyze and confidently make complex decisions when the future consequences are uncertain. And, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet that there are many entrepreneurial heads shaking in approval of this theorizing upon these words tonight. My neck is sore also just thinking about your agreement. eagleyoung@shaw.ca
No worriesâ&#x20AC;Ś
thanks to competent professionals Are you one of those people who are easily worried about their finances? With the present economic situation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming more and more complex and difficult to efficiently manage our finances, our estate and our investments. This can be a real headache, a task which some people can lose sleep over. There is no magic formula to transform the management of our finances into an easy and foolproof undertaking. But consulting competent professionals can certainly help to simplify things and make them less onerous. What kind of professionals are we talking about? Perhaps a good financial advisor or planner can help you sort out your financial situation and take the necessary measures either to correct a difficult situation or to help you achieve your objectives. An efficient accountant will assist you in the sensible management of your affairs while limiting the amount of income taxes to be paid.

The value of professional advice
E
very year, there are new investment products, new investment ideas and complex planning strategies available to investors. The variety and depth of investment and insurance products continue to evolve. Information from government departments, regulatory bodies, and from the financial industry arrives on my desk every day. Change is constant. Tax saving strategies, estate planning strategies and investment strategies continue to change. Unfortunately Canadian’s pay too much tax during their lifetime and at the time of their death. They pay too much tax because they are not informed; you need to ask the right questions, or find an advisor who will advice you on various options. Most individuals lack the time and expertise to follow new developments. It is important for clients to have a qualified professional to research, analyze and then present information in a clear and concise manner. If you receive your financial advice from journalists who write newspaper columns, please be aware, most journalists have no financial designations or financial training. They have a newspaper arti-
FISCAL cle to grind out on FITNESS a daily or weekly basis, and that is what they are paid to do. If you read a newspaper or magaDoreen zine article, and Smith there are no designations after the writer’s name, the journalist is not licensed or regulated in the investment and insurance industry. Consumer beware! Licensed financial professionals who write financial columns (myself included), must follow strict guidelines, and my financial columns must be approved by my compliance department. My financial designation, the CFP (Certified Financial Planner) follows my name, and I must also include my securities dealers’ information in my disclaimer at the end of each of my newspaper columns. Clients should be organized in their approach to dealing with their finances. During your meeting with your Certified Financial Planner, list your financial priorities. A critical part of your advisor’s job is to listen to you, ask questions and focus on your individual needs. It is important to review any appropriate financial planning strategies to ensure your financial security. If your advisor or financial institution is selling you financial products only, and not offering you any financial advice, you are getting
short changed by the financial institution holding your money. The financial institution makes money from holding your investments, and may prefer to keep staff to a minimum to increase their own profits. Holding GIC and investment assets is one of their profit centres, and if no advice is offered, their profits increase. You should have an annual review of your finances with a comprehensive financial plan. Ensure you deal with a qualified professional you are comfortable. If you feel intimidated or are reluctant to ask questions, find someone who you are comfortable with. One of the keys to successful investing is to define goals and implement goals. Comprehensive financial planning helps curb emotional behavior in investing. When a life change happens in your life, update your advisor of these changes. The birth of a child, an inheritance, a job loss, a death, or any change of financial circumstance should be discussed with your certified financial advisor. Choose your advisor with care.

ENTERTAINMENT Local music group looks to expand Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR
This week I sat down with Darnell Toth, co-founder of Alero Music Group (along with Angelo Dodaro), and discussed their business as well as the Kelowna music scene in general. Angelo and Darnell both met a couple of years ago when they were both attending the audio engineering program at Okanagan College. There might have been a little bit of a competitive edge to their friendship, but after a while they decided that they worked better together than apart and the two formed the Alero Music Group (AMG) in May of 2009 mainly to record and produce music. After a while, artist management came into the mix which opened a whole new door for AMG. The group now represents four local artists consisting of Thomas Kjorven, Bitter Rhythm, Ange Alero (Angelo’s stage persona) and their newest addition Jay Bradley. Toth explains that AMG is more of an artist collective than an agency or production
company. The artist list isn’t just a client list; AMG is more like a family. All of the artists collaborate, give feedback, and provide as a source of inspiration for each other. I think that this is becoming more of a trend now as opposed to people flocking to record labels to get signed. All the tools needed to re-
would mean that the business would handle everything from artist management, to recording, to marketing, to merchandising. Basically a one-stop shop for artists without all the corporate fat cats and lawyer-speak, which in turn means no intimidation. The only thing with wanting to expand is that it’s next to impossible to establish something like this in Kelowna. How do you try to promote an artist in a city where they only have a handful of stages to play on? When AMG expands, they plan on moving to Vancouver. “There’s more venues, more musicians, it’s not as over-saturated as Kelowna.” says Toth. When I heard this, my heart gave a little “Ouch.” AMG is something special and unique to Kelowna and the only way for them to succeed is to move to Vancouver? We’ve heard this before from about 90 per cent of the talent that comes out of our town. So why is Kelowna such a hard place for artists to develop and succeed? Toth mentions it might be due
A real news & entertainment column cord, produce, and market an artist are readily available to anyone motivated and dedicated enough to give it a go on their own. “Bands need managers but they don’t need labels.” states Toth when asked about the fizzling state of the record business. “We provided services without charge for the first while so we could build a reputable and trustworthy name for AMG.” Have you ever heard that from a record company before? Probably not. In the future, Dodaro and Toth see AMG turning into a “record label for hire”. This
West Kelowna supports the arts The 3rd annual Okanagan Arts Awards take place at the Lions Hall in West Kelowna on Thursday, March 4, beginning at 6 p.m. It promises to be an eclectic evening of celebration. These arts awards recognize individuals and groups for outstanding achievement and contribution in their fields. This year awards will be presented in the categories of Lifetime Achievement, Literary Arts, ArtsEducator, Visual Arts, Music, Theatre, Dance and Arts Supporter. Nominees include many familiar artists and individuals
who have contributed greatly to the Arts and Culture fabric of the Central Okanagan. The evening includes a reception, silent auction and showcase performances in addition to the Awards presentations. The winners will be presented with a unique award created by Okanagan sculptor Jeanne Bates. A new addition to the awards this year is a silent auction, featuring a variety of unique items to bid on. In addition, sponsorship opportunities are available and donations in support of the arts
will begreatly appreciated. Tickets for the Okanagan Arts Awards are only $30 and available in person or by phone through Select Your Tickets at the Rotary Centre for the Arts (250-717-5304), at www.selectyourtickets.com or in person at the Westbank & District Chamber of Commerce at 4-2375 Pamela Rd. For more information call 250-768-3378. To sponsor an award, make a donation, or for more information please contact Sharon McCoubrey, president of Arts Council of the Central Okanagan, at 250-766-4406.
to the fact that the city puts such strict limits on arts and culture and on what people can and can’t do. “Why do you have to have a permit to busk?” asks Toth, “Why hasn’t there been a show at the Bluff in years?” Toth urges artists to take things a step further, “Go beyond the Okanagan. If you don’t find support here then this isn’t the right place. I mean, a huge congratulations to We Are The City. I saw them play tons of shows at Habitat but I think their success came from finding a world outside of the Okanagan.” I think that right now it’s very important for everyone in Kelowna to be educated on what’s going on in the arts and culture scene. In the very near future, I’d like to see more non-city funded arts and culture groups, just like AMG, be able to receive support and be successful in what they do. If this doesn’t happen then eventually we might lose everyone with talent to the big city. Pyper Geddes is the assistant manager at Habitat in downtown Kelowna. pyper@thehabitat.ca

Album of anthemic hockey chestnuts
CANADA’S HOCKEY ANTHEMS: (EMI)
This album is subtitled Sounds Of The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and it was released a week after the Opening Ceremonies Commemorative Album, also subtitled Sounds Of Vancouver 2010. This hockey anthem release debuted at the top 20 spot ,which is pretty good considering there are an awful lot of hockey related collections on the market, but I guess the Olympic tie-in has caused this disc to sell very well. Canada’s Hockey Anthems is a generous if not overly original CD with 22 tracks of very familiar hockey barn burners from the likes of BTO, Stompin’ Tom Connors, KISS, Rednex, Iggy Pop, Nickelback, Quiet Riot, Elvis Costello, Europe, Ramones, Trooper (who must be enjoying some nice pay cheques of late now that Campbell’s Soup has also used their Raise A Little Hell in its TV adverts) and several more. The Barenaked Ladies offer their If I Had $1,000,000 for the 50/50 draw but there are a couple of new items here that are of added interest. Naturally 7 offer a fresh, a cappella ‘instrumental’ version of The Hockey Theme (the one that used to be on Hockey Night In Canada) using just vocal hum-n-ahaws and body parts as percussion instruments. Alan Frew, of Glass Tiger, offers his Free To Be, Canada’s Song that is indeed anthemic in its nature as well as it is anemic in its nature…way too obvious. As an Olympic memento and a hockey anthem set, this disc serves both functions fairly nicely. C+
HOT CHIP: ONE LIFE STAND (EMI) Hot Chip are an alttechno band out of London who have scored a few sizeable hits on the dance club scene especially in Europe. One Life Stand is, however, a change up
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell for the group where they aren’t trying to pack dance floors so much with up-tempo music. This new release, their fifth, is more of a mid-tempo and mellow album as Hot Chip explores life, love and long term relationships as in the CD title One Life Stand and not the one night stand that club music thrives upon. The band boasts two singers in Alex Taylor, who has a high, reedy, boyish voice, and Joe Goddard, who has more of an earthy deadpan delivery and these two play off one another intriguingly on a few tracks. The lead-off song, Thieves In The Night, has a warm dance pulse to it that reminded me of Jimmy Sommerville of Bronski Beat and their infamous gay anthem Smalltown Boy.
Meanwhile, We Have Love has a few techno nods to New Order but most of the tracks here are more understated ruminations. One Life Stand really grows on you after a few listens and I wonder how the techno/club scene will react to this new laidback turn in direction. B-
HUDOST: TRAPEZE (OPEN SESAME)
HuDost is the boy girl duo of Jemal Wade Hines and Moksha Sommer. Trapeze is their fourth indie album as the duo collaborates between main
songwriter, singer and Montreal native Sommer and New York guitarist Hines. As HuDost the duo are poised to breakout with this strong adult alternative album as produced by ace session man and contributing musician Malcolm Burn of Bob Dylan, Peter Gabreil and EmmyLou Harris fame.

with intriguing accents of world beat provided by sly use of exotic instruments such as bendir, dumbek, djembe, djun djun, etc. Unfortunately, Sommer was diagnosed with cancer just as they were setting out to record this new album. She has soldiered on with solid songs although you can hear her trepidations on occasion with lyrics such as “what I thought was solid ground is quicksand” on the superb opening and visceral song Trespasser. This tune made me think of Fairport Convention mixed in with Evanescence but then again, HuDost have been compared in dozens of different ways.

In memory of our Dad & Papa – Our Strength
WAYNE LORNSON Jan. 2, 1955 – March 3, 2009 If we could have a lifetime wish And one dream that could come true We would pray to God with all our hearts Just to see and speak to you. A thousand words won’t bring you back We know because we’ve tried And neither will a million tears, we know because we’ve cried. You’ve left behind our broken hearts and precious memories too But we’ve never wanted memories , we only wanted you. FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS… TREVOR DEVAN, DARREN & DILON
Alexander Malcolm Campbell December 10, 1916 – February 25, 2010 Our loving father Alex passed away peacefully at the age of 93 years, predeceased by his beloved friend and wife of 64 years, Margaret, his parents Joseph and Agnes Campbell and his eldest sister Nessie. He is survived by his two brothers Joseph Campbell of Vancouver and Jim Campbell (Phyllis) of Winfield and his sister Beverly Aveling of Vancouver. Forever loved and remembered by his four daughters Jean Tinling, Beverly Duregon (Silvano), Nancy McEwen (John), Betty Kramer and his son Alexander Malcolm Campbell Jr. (Patti) and his proud legacy of 16 grandchildren including Chris (Colleen), Susan, Mark (Marie), Kerry, Audra, Kelly, Shaun, Ryan (Krista), Scott, Bobby (Laura), Lindsay (Brad), Chris, Curtis, Kathleen, Tara, Tyler and 10 beautiful great grandchildren. Alex was born and raised in Vancouver. In 1944 he joined the army then transferred to the RCAF. After his discharge, he worked as a salesman with Ferguson and Hart Tobacco Wholesaler and Planters Nut and Chocolate Company. In his travels he was captivated by the beauty of the Okanagan Valley and returned with his family to establish his own tobacco and wholesale business. He opened Bert Henry (Kelowna) Ltd. in 1952 and continued to work until its close in 2003. Alex enjoyed his many business acquaintances and friends. In 2004 Alex received recognition for attaining his 50 year membership in the Masonic Lodge. He was a quiet gentleman who was known for his hard work, unique sense of humor and one who cared deeply for his family. Our family would like to thank the staff at Hawthorne Park Orchard Manor for their loving care of Alex. A celebration of Alex Campbell’s life will be held at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, B.C. on Friday, March 5, 2010 at 1:00 pm.

Also surviving is her sister Sylvia Morrison and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her husband Steve of 50 years, in 2009. Dae was born in Springside, Saskatchewan in 1922 to Arthur Ernest Chadney, who emigrated from London, England and Anna Knudson who emigrated from Copenhagen, Denmark. She had four brothers and three sisters. While managing a Hotel and Restaurant in North Bend, she married the love of her life, Steve. Dae and Steve lived and worked in Vancouver, Lethbridge and Calgary before moving to Nelson where Steve retired in 1982. Dae had many enjoyments in life: she was well known for her cooking abilities, loved entertaining and spending time with family and good friends. She also enjoyed golfing, gardening, bowling and curling. It was her home in Nelson that was her greatest pride. Dae and Steve spent countless hours in their yard landscaping and looking after the many flowers that made their home look like a park. It was the pride of the neighbourhood; she used to call it her green, green grass of home. In 2003, they moved to Kelowna, residing in Joseph Benjamin Retirement home. The family greatly appreciates the kind and professional care of the staff at Spring Valley Care Centre and Joseph Benjamin. A celebration of Dae’s life will be held on Thursday, March 4th at 10:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.

Got a picture of you I carry in my heart Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark. Got a memory of you I carry in my soul, I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold. If you ask me how I am doing I’d say just fine. But the truth is, if you could read my mind Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. After all this time, you’re still with me, it’s true. You will always remain, locked so deep inside.
Not a day goes by y Love you forever… Pam

Anne Braun FOREVER YOUNG IN HEART AND SOUL Ann Braun died peacefully in hospital, surrounded by family, on February 27, 2010 at the age of 92 years. Born in Chaplin, Saskatchewan January 7, 1918 Anne lived a full and active life. She was raised in the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg who believed the sincerest form of worship to God is to lead a useful life. That God is infinitely loving and at the very center of our beings, that our life on earth is temporary and meant to prepare us for a life in heaven. Anne’s early years were spent in Makaroff, Manitoba where she lived with her parents Margaret and Jacob Friesen and 15 brothers and sisters (some who died at a very young age). Anne was second oldest in her family. She was born into a generation that believed education was only for men; however her father believed otherwise and paid for Anne to get an education. Anne was a feminist before the term became popular. She lived through times of war. She lived through the lean times of the “dirty thirties”. Always politically minded and well informed she believed women “should have the right to vote”. Anne believed whatever men do women have to do fuller because so much in life depends on them. Anne married David Braun in Togo Saskatchewan on January 28, 1936 and was married for 48 years before becoming a widow in 1984. Anne spent most of her married life in Yorkton Saskatchewan where she and her husband raised 12 children. Anne and David left Yorkton and spent a brief time in Saskatoon before retiring to Kelowna in 1978. Life was not always easy but it was full and useful. Anne is survived by her children: Ken (Ollie) Braun of Kelowna BC; Wayne (Linda) Braun of Ferndale Wa; Neil Braun of Sarnia On; Albert (Joyce) Braun of Saskatoon Sk; Terry Braun of Regina, Sk; Marlene Braun (Blake Roberts) of Kelowna; Darlene (George) Sawatzky of Saskatoon Sk; Sharlene Braun of Kelowna BC; Sharon (Shane) Reece of Yorkton Sk; Daughter in laws: Patricia Braun of Kelowna BC; and Sandra Zimmermann of Kelowna BC. Numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Anne is also survived by her sister Edna Charzewski of Winnipeg MB and her brothers: Henry (Clementine) Friesen; Ernie (Florence) Friesen of Cranbrook BC; Raymond (Pat) Friesen of Beaverlodge AB; Pete (Mary) Friesen of Surrey BC. Anne was predeceased by her husband David Braun (1984); her daughter Marjorie Anne Porsch (2000); her sons: Clarence Peter (Pete) Braun (1983) and Theodore Allan (Teddy) Braun (1977); her Sisters: Agnes Kuttnick and Tina Alguire; her brother Dave Friesen; and her granddaughter Patricia (Patti) Wilkins. Anne loved life and lived it to the fullest. She loved to spend time with her family. She loved to travel. Anne loved music and she loved to dance. Anne was a member of the OK Corral line dancing team for many years and she continued to attend “senior” dances until very recently. Anne was also a regular in the yearly Polar Bear Dip in Okanagan Lake and “dipped” for the last time at 81 years of age. In summer months she could be seen riding her 10 speed across the bridge from Kelowna to the Westside to get to the water slides. She gave up her bike at 75! One of Anne’s disappointments in life is that she never got to bungee jump....they refused her because of her age! We will miss Anne. We will grieve for ourselves because this remarkable woman, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Friend, and Mentor, who enriched our lives, has left us. But do not grieve for Anne because she is dancing with the angels. Please join Anne’s family in a celebration of her life at Springfield Funeral Home Thursday, March 4, 2010. 1:00 pm. Anne, Forever young in heart and soul, and forever in our hearts.

He taught industrial arts most of his life and collected classic cars as a hobby.

th
a new, cleaner burning and higher efficiency one from a participating retailer can take advantage of the savings offered during the 10th annual Great Okanagan-Similkameen Wood Stove Change Out Program. The Regional Air Quality program gives consumers a $250 rebate (funding is limited) when they purchase a new EPA/ CSA emission-approved wood, gas, pellet or electric appliance and replace their old smoke-belching wood stove. Participating manufacturers, distributors and retailers also offer a minimum rebate of $150 off the suggested retail price of new EPA/CSA approved replacement appliances. Consumers receive the rebate when they surrender their old wood burning appliance for recycling. This program has made a significant difference when it comes to air quality in the Central Okanagan. Valley-wide over the past nine years, 1,256 old wood burning appliances have been traded in for new, certified cleaner burning ones. As a result, about 450 tonnes of smoke particulates have been kept out of our airshed. That equates to approximately 15,000 fewer cords of wood burned, a woodpile lined up end to end running the length of 363 football fields. Now that’s a reason we can all breathe easier! So who could benefit from the change out program? The owners of approximately 19,000 Okanagan homes with inefficient, conventional wood stoves or masonry fireplaces. Each year, it’s estimated that their chimneys pump out a combined 478 tonnes of smoke pollutants. Regional air quality program coordinator Nicole Marzinzik says, “It’s clear that wood stove smoke contributes to poor air quality. Replacing old wood burners with new certified appliances will help to make a difference since they burn onethird less wood and reduce smoke by up to 90 per cent.” The Wood Stove Change Out Program is a limited time offer ending April 30. For more information, a list of participating retailers or other program details visit regionaldistrict.com or kelowna. ca. You may also contact Nicole Marzinzik at 250469-8408.
