Quality water comes with a high price tag STAFF REPORTER
Improving drinking water quality throughout Kelowna is going to be costly. Between $40 million and $361 million will be required to bring all five major water utilities in the City of Kelowna up to a level of first meeting health objectives and then continuing to the stage of filtration of all water and interconnecting the utilities throughout the city. That’s the bottom line in the Kelowna Integrated Water Supply Plan, a comprehensive document produced by the Kelowna Joint Water Committee. Drafts of that report have been received by city council and the boards of the four other major water utilities as well as Interior Health and the province. The KJWC is made up of the city water utility, Black Mountain Irrigation District, GlenmoreEllison Improvement District, Rutland Waterworks and South East Kelowna Irrigation District. Written by Bob Hrasko, who is manager
of BMID, the draft report won’t become final until the committee receives responses from the province and Interior Health, he explained. Local utilities have been working on upgrades in recent years, with more than $10 million worth completed in the last three years, he reported. The four improvement districts asked the provincial government for funding assistance in 2009, but were told a city-wide water quality improvement plan had to be completed, including the best and lowest-cost solutions. So a memorandum of understanding was agreed upon by the five major utilities and only after dozens and dozens of meetings was this report drafted. Currently, 41 sources of water are used, including Okanagan Lake, wells and creeks, with the latter often partly controlled by upland reservoirs. The report recommends that this be whittled down to four primary sources, three large intakes in Okanagan Lake and one on Mission

Creek, and that they be supplemented by groundwater from seven wells. Ultimately, it may be necessary to separate systems used to provide domestic water from those supplying irrigation water, although several of the utilities began as irrigation water providers. In all, eight stages are recommended, beginning with four projects to upgrade raw water, at a cost of $13.5 million. The second stage includes four more projects moving to UV disinfection, in addition to chlorination, for $13.8 million more. The third stage is provision of separate system for domestic and irrigation water in several key areas, in a total of eight projects and at a cost of $13 million more. That expenditure would bring all users up to a level where the water quality would meet the health authority’s minimum requirements. “That addresses all the microbiologic issues,” said Hrasko.

New trustees ready to face issues Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Monday evening an almost entirely new set of school trustees began orientation en route to this week’s inaugural meeting. With only the current school board chairman Rolli Cacchioni and longtime Peachland resident trustee Moyra Baxter returning from the previous board of education, the group promises fresh enthusiasm at a time when educators and administrators throughout the province are on edge. “That was the interesting thing, not one person talked to me about the contract negotiations, even when I tried to raise the issue,” said Joyce Brinkerhoff, a first-time trustee elected in Kelowna. With fears of impending strikes or additional job action out of sight, Brinkerhoff said she heard more from parents concerned about the use of technology in schools, and whether someone would fill the shoes of longtime
healthy schools champion Anna Hunt-Binkley, who opted not to run in Lake Country this year. Parents are looking for someone to take up the cause, Brinkerhoff was told, and ensure schools continue to pursue ways to incorporate healthier foods and lessons about healthy lifestyle choices. Returning trustee Murli Pendharkar— back for a third term after leaving in 2005—said he plans to make food one of his pet causes as well going into this term, though he’s approaching it from a different angle. Pendharkar campaigned on a stance to ensure all children have access to the basics they need to learn and plans to look into whether breakfast programs, like the one he is involved with as a Rotary Club of Kelowna member, need expanding. The only acclaimed trustee, Deb Butler of Lake Country, is looking at the other big education consumer—the parents. Coming in with a background in parent ad-
vocacy, she wants to address parental access and involvement. Late last year, the board of education opted to forgo consultation with the district-wide parent advisory council because the group consistently could not achieve a quorum at meetings. Butler said she believes there may be issues in the manner that parent feedback is being solicited and hopes to look at the issue as soon as possible. “Your board is elected by the public and they need to be accessible,” she said. Butler is the one trustee few heard much about in election season as her seat went unchallenged, although those who follow education in the valley know her well. Joining her first parent advisory council when her oldest son entered kindergarten, she has worked at all the levels of the parent advisory system. Butler believes the parent voice is a critical component of public education. Her sons are now
in Grade 12 and Grade 10 and she has planned to run for trustee for a number of years—although this was her first time officially throwing her hat in the ring. Meanwhile, new West Kelowna trustee Julia Fraser has promised to advocate for library funding as a means of addressing literacy issues. Like all her new colleagues on the board of education, Fraser told the Capital News she is committed to spending the first few months of her term listening to all the stakeholders involved. The inaugural meeting will be held Wednesday with new trustees Chris Gorman, Brinkerhoff, Pendharkar, Butler, and Fraser joining Baxter and Cacchioni. A new board of education chairperson and vicechairperson will be elected during the meeting, which begins with an aboriginal smudging ceremony and concludes with trustees agreeing to roles on the board’s committees.

Trial judge finds holes in evidence for Snelson’s innocence Decade from A1 said, as she was leaving the courthouse. “I thought, OK, I’ll accept it…I’m not thrilled. We wanted life.”

Beames to conclude that Jennifer was also sexually assaulted by Snelson, in addition to her regular task of balancing mitigating and aggravating factors. The extra responsibility sprung from the fact the jury had only been asked to decide on whether Snelson caused Jennifer’s death. Crown counsel contended there was more to the crime than just that, however, being as Snelson’s strange sexual proclivities were the underlying motivation of the killing. Snelson, 27 at the time of the crime, had already built up a criminal rec-

ord stemming from incidents of public masturbation—a fact kept from the jury—but he testified he and Jennifer had a brief, consensual fling. They met, according to Snelson’s vague recollection, at the Richter Street party from which she went missing and went to his truck for anal and vaginal sex. He originally testified he and Jennifer then walked back to the party, from that encounter, together. But when asked why nobody saw them together, he changed his tune and said they went their separate ways after having sex. That was just one of many examples of con-
flicting testimony delivered in an “argumentative and hostile” manner, said Beames. “(Snelson) was inconsistent and tried to create new stories to fill in holes,” Justice Beames said. “I reject and completely disbelieve Snelson’s evidence that he had consensual sex with Jennifer Cusworth.” Snelson, she said, sexually assaulted Jennifer before killing her and dumping her body in a ditch, which was worthy of a longer sentence than the eight to 12 years defence was requesting. Beames was also asked by Crown to take into account police allegations that Snelson downloaded violent pornography and
continued to masturbate in public up until being arrested in 2009 for Jennifer’s murder. Those allegations weren’t factored in, she said. Nor were letters the defence submitted, speaking to the positive aspects of Snelson’s character. Friends, family and fellow church-goers wrote reams of letters saying the father of four was incapable of violence of any kind. Beames pointed out Snelson has carried a “dark secret, not obvious to friends and family” since 1993, and although he’s been a member of the Christian community for the better part of a decade, he’s not shown signs of addressing the sex-

other people.” Of particular concern, said Cusworth, are measures that would give the courts a better view of the person being tried. If a person is convicted of previous crimes related to current charges, for example, that information should be brought forward, she said. In the case against Snelson, previous convictions relating to a penchant for following women and masturbating in his truck, weren’t revealed to the jury so the murder charge wouldn’t be muddied. Had that information been readily available, said Cusworth, the jury “would have no doubt” Snelson was guilty of more than manslaughter. The Cusworths would also like to see full disclosure of information, to better serve victims. As is, only the Crown has to show all their cards, and defence can keep what they’ve uncovered in regard to the case, all to themselves. “In the states and England it’s mutual disclosure, and we’re going to be fighting for that,” she said. Being as Canada has a “government coming out on the side of victims,” Jean Cusworth said she believes she’ll have a good chance at affecting change.

Overpass repairs will take time Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
It will take until at least the end of January 2012, before repairs to the Westside Road Interchange are complete. On Nov. 20, facing panels collapsed at the west abutment of the overpass. Since then, Ledcor, the contractor for the project, has been working to repair the damage. Kevin Baskin, chief bridge engineer with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, said that during their investigation, engineers also found a similar defect in the wall at the east abutment of the bridge. “A portion of the backfill behind the east abutment facing panels was removed to inspect the connections. Failures of the soil reinforcement at the connection at the back of the panels, similar to those at the west abutment, were observed,” said Baskin. Repairs at the east abutment will start once the contractor has finalized a repair plan, and that work will likely take “a few months.” The work that has already been done at the west abutment involves placing shotcrete on the exposed face of the backfill, according to Baskin. “This protects the backfill face from erosion and starts to build out the new facing system. “This work does not compromise the ability to do a full repair.” According to Baskin, the failure that occurred is extremely rare. “This particular retaining wall system is a proven performer; it’s used all over North America,”
WE’RE MOVING.. .
said Baskin. “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time, anywhere in North America, that this type of facing panel failure has occurred with this wall system.” There is still no conclusion about what caused the failure to the overpass. “The ministry has retained a world renowned bridge design firm to carry out an investigation of the failure on our behalf. This is being coordinated with Westbank First Nation’s
engineering team. “The contractor and the wall supplier’s engineers are also doing their own investigation.” Baskin said that experts are focusing on the failure observed in the soil reinforcement bars: Where they are bent to hook into the connection at the back of the panels. According to Baskin, taxpayers won’t be on the hook for any of the repairs, or the investigation. Evelyn Lube, pro-
ject communications for the Westside Road Interchange project, said that she is hopeful that the repairs won’t delay the opening date of the Nancee Way underpass, which was originally scheduled for the summer of 2012. According to Baskin, the bridge remains safe. “We’ve had an ongoing monitoring process in place since day one. We’ve seen no movement in the structure,” Baskins said.

.C. Liberal MLA Moira Stilwell has proposed legislation to help prevent concussions in youth sports. The private member’s bill would make it law to remove a young athlete from play if a concussion is suspected. The proposed Concussions in Youth Sport Safety Act recognizes that the majority of sportrelated head injuries occur in athletes younger than 20, and that the frequency of such injur-
ies is increasing. More is unknown than known about concussions. We know what causes them, but not why some people feel some symptoms—headaches, nausea, dizziness, sensitivity to light—while others experience a sudden onset of depression. There’s no clinically tested treatment for concussions. Rest is best. Sidney Crosby just returned to the NHL after 10 months recuperating from a concussion.

Other players have had to retire after sustaining multiple concussions, some the result of deliberate and callous head shots. These are professional athletes; they know the risks they take every time they compete, and what’s at stake – for some, their jobs. But what about our children? So few will ever play pro. They have their whole lives ahead of them. No game, no victory or goal, is worth jeop-
ardizing their futures. As a government, as volunteers, as parents, we need to do everything possible to educate them about brain injuries. We need to teach them to protect themselves and respect one another, without instilling in them fear. It’s not as simple as telling them to keep their heads up, and elbows down. We must help them value our most valuable asset—our brains.

Time for new council to make election rhetoric a reality
I
t’s time for Kelowna’s new city council to step up and deliver the change its six new members promised during the election campaign. But what that change will be still remains to be seen. It may be less than 24-hours since the new council was sworn in, but given the dire picture painted of the state of the municipality by those determined to oust a majority of the last council during the election campaign, the newcomers have got to hit the ground running. But where are they running to? During the campaign, the destination was not made clear.
In wooing voters, CITY eight sitting councilthen mayoral candiCONFIDENTIAL lors.But as stinging date Walter Gray was short on specifics when as the election lossit came to explaining es were, Shepherd was how he planned to particularly incensed “open the city up for by Gray’s comment business.” and “get the Alistair election night about city moving again.” Waters getting the city moving But, he said, for that to again.

They not only picked him over And, to stick it to her detractors, two-term incumbent Sharon Shepand those of the five departing counherd, they also replaced five of the cillors—four of whom were target-
ed for defeat by a local group led by businesspeople—one last time, she reminded those on their way out that when the shovels go in the ground to start those projects, they can stand proud knowing they made those projects happen. Like any new government, the incoming Kelowna council will ride on the coattails of the previous council for a while. Projects like the rehabilitation of Bernard Avenue, the new downtown plan, the relocation of the Water Street Seniors’ Centre and upcoming transit improvements were the work of the last council but, if political tradition holds firm, the new council will take the credit when
flashbulbs pop and cameras roll. The political rhetoric about the city not being open for business was exactly that, rhetoric. It was a line used enough times during the campaign to sway voters and win votes. But if change really is needed for the city to move ahead, the new council has to roll up its collective sleeves and accelerate the steep learning curve all rookie politicians face. On election night, Gray called the make up of the council he will lead for the next three years the “perfect team.” It’s time for the team to show voters they made the right choice. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS
Has AIDs been swept under the carpet in Kelowna? To the editor: December1 was World AIDS Day, but I am now wondering if Kelowna really cares. The day before even the local TV news station failed to mention that the next day was World Aids Day‚ or did I miss it? I called around the morning of Dec. 1 to see if there were any events, religious, secular or otherwise listed to commemorate this important day. I called City Hall, various print and media outlets, the Living Positive Resource Centre, the Okanagan Rainbow Coalition web site and even Kelowna General Hos-
pital. Nothing. I have lived in small towns all over the place and I have attended World Aids Day shows, religious services and candlelight vigils, but in Kelowna it seemed there was nothing. It just didn’t seem to occur to people here to acknowledge a dreadful disease, a scourge that is far from vanquished, and yet there was no recognition at all, official or unofficial, except a mention on the local news at the end of the day of U.S. President Obama’s acknowledgement of World AIDS Day. This important day is commemorated all
over the world. But, it appears, not here in Kelowna. Maybe Kelowna just doesn’t care. Maybe, for a lovely city that really does boast that it cares about people, persons with AIDS are an invisible quotient here. What a shame, and what a disappointment to know that persons living with AIDS simply don’t rate any attention here. Laurence D. M. Marshall, Kelowna

W ICBC
B.C. government monopolies rip off residents To the editor: Recently ICBC announced that in 2012 they will be raising premiums by $30 per customer. There are currently 2,062,433 vehicles registered in B.C. (2010 statistics). That amounts to an extra $61,872,990 in income for a monopoly that is already taking money from the pockets of B.C. residents. I moved to B.C. from Alberta eight years ago. In Alberta automobile insurance is run by private companies, not the government. In Alberta I paid $840 a year for complete coverage on my Ford pickup truck. When I moved to B.C. I was delighted to hear that I qualified for the maximum amount of discount through ICBC because I had not had any previous claims on my vehicle insurance. I went down
to my local ICBC office expecting a payment of approximately $500 but went into shock when I was informed that my payments were $1,150 per year. Wow, that’s a minimum of $310 profit per vehicle or $639,354,230 total profits for the B.C. government. This year ICBC spent millions on commercials to inform us of the good job they are doing, like spending millions of dollars to build roads and traffic circles. I do not think that road construction is part of ICBC’s role in B.C. Speaking of theft from the residents of B.C. by the government, I recently drove to Edmonton for a visit and noticed that the average price of gas per litre was $1.02 and in B.C. it was $1.22 per litre. Given that the average
driver uses 40 litres per week, which becomes an extra cost of $457 per year and a profit by the government of $943,769,340.80 per year for all of the vehicles. Adding the extra cost of insurance ($310) and the extra cost of gasoline ($457) each driver in B.C. is being ripped off for $767 per year. I sincerely hope that one of the Opposition parties uses this in their platform: 1. Privatization of ICBC 2. Reduction in gas prices by at least 10 cents per litre 3. Privatization of government liquor stores—the government should not be in competition with private enterprise, it’s just wrong. Richard Callihan, Kelowna
Former mayor, council thanked Smokers pay own way Open letter to former mayor Sharon Shepherd and city councillors: The last few years has seen the inception and plans come to fruition for the new location for the Water Street Senior Centre Society members. We now look forward to carrying out our programs in the new two-storey building to be located next to the Parkinson Recreation Centre, hopefully, by this time next year. The Relocation Committee, made up of society members, board members, city representatives and staff, has met frequently and pondered hard on the configuration of the new building’s amenities. Our
requests for changes were accommodated wherever possible. Open houses displaying architectural drawings for the new facility created much interest and comment. I wish to commend all city staff and the architects for responding to the public’s inquiries in a knowledgeable and professional manner. I also wish to thank (former) mayor Sharon Shepherd and the city councillors for passing the necessary approval for extra funding to expand the building to meet the needs of all users of the new facility. I feel those who voiced strong opinions on
the need for more space will be well served by the current plans especially the state-of-the-art dance floor. On behalf of the present and future users of the Parkinson Activity Centre thank you for all your support in this endeavour. Carole Bridges, vice-president & relocation committee chair, Water Street Senior Centre Society (We are pleased to hear that Sawchuk Developments Co. Ltd. has been given the “notice to proceed� and preliminary work has begun on the site.)
Plan before party night out To the editor: Re: Taylor Van Diest murder. Hello people: I want you to read this with seriousness. I want to let people know I will not let this murderer haunt my town (Armstrong). This guy does not have any power over smart young adults. I’ve decided to make everyone more aware of what we can do. There must be a few
rules to be followed and this is for the safety of everyone. I don’t want this to happen to anyone ever again. There’s a reason why, back in the good old days, the parents wanted their children home before dark because bad things do happen at night. Do we need more evidence to be convinced otherwise? So what are the rules? Well they are pretty simple really starting
with always having a plan when you go out to party. 1. Never walk alone 2. Call or crash 3. Take a cab. Please, someone help me out with this. I really want to make a difference. Lets gather up community support to please pass this on. Jake Goertzen, Armstrong

To the editor: Our B.C. Liberals have done it again. They are unable to intelligently choose to support, financially, issues according to their importance. To spend $15- to $25 million on a free patch program for smokers who, for the most part, will not kick the habit anyway, is ridiculous. You can be suer also that the cost will exceed the estimated $25 million. These smokers should not be pampered but rather should pay full medical costs on any smoke related illnesses they succumb to. One smoker mentions that she smokes three packs of cigarettes a day
but cannot afford to buy the patch. What kind of a joke is this? To pay for this idiotic program the B.C. Liberals have chosen to cut other essential health related programs affecting such people as the mentally and physically challenged individuals. They are also ignoring our teachers’ requests for a salary increase to bring them in line with the other provinces. The list goes on. One thing our government is good at is how to screw up their priorities— but then they’ve had plenty of experience. Ed Peterson, Kelowna

New art gallery exhibit The Kelowna Art Gallery waves farewell to 2011 with On the Path to Abstraction, a collection of members’ work. The opening on Friday, Dec. 2,was a piece of busy work in itself with members coming and going for three hours on the first weekend of the holiday season. IF YOU LIKE the band Metric, Brady Shield’s Emily (above) might be worth a gander—whether it’s actually a painting of band frontwoman Emily Haines or not. And artist Dawn Emerson’s abstract city scape (lower left) conjures images of Vancouver’s Main Street.

LAST SUMMER the Glenmore-Ellison Improvement District installed a pipeline in Okanagan Lake, which will ultimately allow clear lake water to replace often highly-coloured water from Mill Creek.
If the province refuses to support the work with some funding the cost of water will be very high for some users, with annual rates for SEKID users forecast to reach nearly $1,200 to complete the first three of the eight stages. Rutland Waterworks users are in the best situation, with annual rates staying at $294 to reach those first three stages, because that utility relies on underground aquifers rather than surface water.

Airport drug bust preliminary hearing Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
A preliminary inquiry into a case in which the RCMP claim cocaine was smuggled into Canada in the drums of a large fruit grinder in September 2010 has started in Kelowna provincial court. The proceedings, before Judge Jane Cartwright, started Monday and are expected to last five or six days, said Crown prosecutor Chris Greenwood. The preliminary inquiry is being held to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to a trial. There is a publication ban on evidence presented at a preliminary hearing. Three men, Clifford Roger Montgomery of West Kelowna, Tariq Mohamed Aslam of Surrey and Salvador Ascencio-Chavez, also known as Victor Perez Rodriguez of Kelowna have been charged with conspiracy to import cocaine and possession for the purposes of trafficking. Ascencio-Chavez is currently being held in custody. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

George Young could walk away from prison Thursday, effectively serving just under two years behind bars for dragging a Kelowna man under his car to his eventual death. Young, 31, appeared in court Monday, for sentencing related to charges of criminal negligence with use of an automobile and failure to stop at the scene of an accident and render assistance. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d earlier been charged with murder for the New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 death of Joel Reimer, but pleaded to the lesser charges in recent months, which his defence lawyer said should be viewed in his favour as a judge renders a decision on his sentence. Defence said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see his client be sentenced to four years. If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credited with two years for each year heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent in prison, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be left with just three years of probation. Conversely, Crown counsel said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see Young serve seven to eight years in prison, with only 1.5 years credit for each year already spent behind bars. They also asked that he face a 20-year driving prohibition, upon release. Young, who is no stranger to the legal system racking up regular charges since his youth, killed Reimer Jan. 1, 2010, by dragging him under the minivan and eventually crushing him against a curb. The issue at play in sentencing, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t whether Young was at fault, but whether he knew he was dragging Reimer under his van. According to testimony entered into the record Monday, the two men had gone to a Pandosy Street apartment to continue partying, after a night of New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve clubbing. They were getting along, according to witness testimony submitted by Crown Counsel, until Young started to mutter that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like Reimer. More words were exchanged, and a scuffle broke out. After knocking over plants, and bumping into a stereo, the pair were jettisoned from the apartment they were staying at, onto the street. At this point, the events become less clear. Young told friends the morning of Jan. 1, 2010, that he and Reimer were
fighting, and when he realized it was a losing battle he hopped into the van heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d borrowed from a friend to drive away. Young told a friend he suspected Reimer may have been under the car, but he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure. Crown contends it would have been impossible for him to not realize what happened. Testimony from residents around the believed point of impactâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; at the corner of Pandosy Street and Lake Avenueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; said they heard a thump, screaming and groaning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He must of heard screaming and continued to drive,â&#x20AC;? contended the Crown, noting that Reimer was believed to be on his back when he was hooked under Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. The van was found a half-kilometer away from that area, had spun out on Park Avenue and was on a curb, with Reimer pinned below. An autopsy showed he would have lived through being dragged the distance, and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until he was pressed against the curb that he bled out from

KCS girls strike gold, Mustangs bronzed
W V’BALL
Owls soar to B.C. gold
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
While watching his Kelowna Owls compete over four days in North Vancouver, coach Tony Sodaro witnessed a level of determination and resolve that wasn’t about to be denied. The 2011 KSS girls squad won the school’s first ever B.C. AAAA girls volleyball championship, defeating the Riverside Rapids in four sets in Saturday’s gold medal match. “You could see the gold medal in their eyes, these 16- and 17-year-old athletes were absolutely dialed in,” said Sodaro, the Owls’ head coach. “You talk about being in the zone and that describes how the girls were all weekend. They were the hardest working team, it was a real war, but they were having fun doing it, too. That was a big key to their success…they had fun playing for each other.” Safe to say, members of the Owls have never had more fun than the moments following their victory over Riverside in the final Saturday night at Handsworth Secondary. After dropping the opening set 23-25, an undaunted KSS squad roared back with three straight wins, 25-23, 25-

THE 2011 KELOWNA OWLS celebrate the school’s first ever B.C. title in girls AAAA volleyball. 21, 25-17. Sodaro said every Owl on the court stepped up their game new heights when it mattered most. “We were up against a phenomenal team, but that’s when (captain) Kaitlynn Given took over the match for us,” Sodaro said. “Katelyn Valgarson was the steadiest player in tournament, Breanne (Enright) and Alia (McLure) made some amazing digs, Amanda (Hait) really started to take over, and Cayte Wilson put in a great great performance. She was the best setter at the tournament.” Perhaps the Owls most dominant showing came in the semifinals as KSS routed host Handsworth— the defending B.C. champs—3-0 (25-14, 2520, 25-17) in their own gym. “The crowd, the parents, our fans, they made so much noise it was like home court advantage. Every point was a battle, but we just beat them up.”
The Cold War is back.
The Owls started 2011 with a bang, winning the UBC, UBCO and Best of the West tournaments and spent much of the season ranked No. 1. But a spate of injuries—nine players in all—slowed the Owls down in the middle and latter stages of the season and wins were harder to come by as they slid in the rankings. But when it counted most, KSS delivered the goods. “What we went through earlier, all that adversity really motivated the girls. They made it through the disappointments and just grew stronger and stronger. In the end, the ranking didn’t matter. The goal all along was to bring home the banner and we did that.” It was the first win by a senior girls top level volleyball team in Kelowna in 60 years. Kelowna High School won the B.C. championship back in 1951. Graduating captain
Kaitlynn Given, who was named the tournament’s MVP, said after the disappointment of missing out on a medal in 2010, nothing is sweeter than gold in 2011. “This means the world to us,” said Given. “We’ve been talking about this all season and nothing less than gold was going to be good enough. Every single player pulled together and made this happen.” Cayte Wilson earned first all-star honours, while Hillary Schell was named to the second team.
As far back as the season’s first serve, the Kelowna Christian Knights had a hunch they just might be good enough to write a new chapter in school history. On Saturday night in Prince George, the 2011 edition of the Knights became the first girls sports team at KCS ever to win a provincial title as they struck gold at the B.C. A volleyball championship. The No. 2-ranked Knights didn’t drop a set all weekend, capturing the B.C. crown with a 3-0 win over the No. 1 seed High Road Academy in the final—25-15, 25-15, 25-20. “When we started the season, we saw how good the girls were and said ‘Hey maybe we can do this,’” said Knights coach Rob Smith, whose Knights won silver last year. “You’d think the fact that no girls team had ever won may have put pressure on them, but we thought ‘Why avoid the elephant in the room?’
The girls didn’t shy away from the challenge, they wanted it from the start and went out and got it. It was amazing to see.” The Knights tore through pool play with a 3-0 record, knocked off Ebenezer Christian in the quarterfinals, then defeated rival Immaculata 3-0 in the semifinals. Then, after just a few serves in the final, Smith said the Knights could taste gold. “Once they played a half a set with High Road, they knew it was their’s for the taking. “We are a very balanced team,” Smith continued. “Every other team had weak links. We had a better top seven players than any team there, and that was the difference.” Knights’ power hitter Jesse Randhawa was named the provincial championship MVP, while setter Rachel Penner earned first all-star recognition. As luck, or coincidence, would have it, the gold medal victory fell on coach Smith’s 57th birth-
day and following the match, he was serenaded by his players with a rendition of Happy Birthday. “It brought tears to my eyes,” he said. “What a team.” The B.C. champion Knights are: Jenna Ratzlaff, Sarah Roberts, Rachel Penner, Karissa Erhardt, Jessie-Lynn Daase, Jenica McKenzie, Sarah Goossen, Rachel Pagdin, Jasmine Randhawa, Kristin Regehr and Kelsi Taron (injured), and Grade 10 call-ups Emma Pagdin, Micaylee Pucilowski and Shaylin Jost. The coaches are Rob and Irene Smith. The Immaculata Mustangs defeated Richmond Christian (25-18, 25-15) in the third/fourth place game to earn the bronze medal. The Mustangs, coached by Brian Drosdovech, had two players earn all-star recoginition—Siobhan Fitzpatrick was named to the first team, while Erin Jacobs was named to the second. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

KCS boys grab bronze One of the youngest lineups at provincials didn’t stop the Kelowna Christian Knights from making a trip to the medal podium at the B.C. high school boys A volleyball championship. With no Grade 12 players on the roster, the Knights struck bronze on Saturday afternoon at UBC Okanagan with a 3-0 win (25-19, 25-19, 25-13) over Cedars Christian. The Knights could have just as easily been playing for the gold medal Saturday if not for a dramatic and heartbreaking loss to Bulkley Valley Christian in the semifnals. Bulkey outlasted KCS on Friday in five sets (25-22, 25-21, 18-25, 1625, 15-13). “The team played well in the provincials, but ran into a tough team from Smithers (Bulkley Val-
ley Christian) in the semifinals,” said Knights coach Dave Bingham. “This was a pretty tough loss, but the guys were able to get it going again for the bronze medal game, and were fortunate to win it three straight.” The Knights opened the tournament with a 3-0 record in pool play, then defeated Duncan Christian in the quarterfinals, before losing to Bulkley in the semis. Ryan Linttell and Connor Loewen earned first all-star team recognition for KCS, while Ben Van Dyk was named to the second team. The medal winning Knights are: Keelan Laughren, Josh Klassen, Josiah Siemens, Bryce Csolle, Bryce Mathews, Connor Loewen, Princeton Skavas, Ryan Linttell, Ben Van Dyk, Josh Smith and Drew Schulz
The coaches are Bingham and Jacob Loewen. “We really enjoyed the tournament, although we weren’t used to four-day tournaments,” Bingham added. “We’re looking forward to next year as all players will be returning, so we should be stronger and more experienced.” The Immaculata Mustangs finished in 10th place after losing the consolation vfinal 2-0 (25-18, 2515) to Vernon Christian. The Mustangs began the tournament with a bang, going 3-0 in pool play. They then lost to Duncan Christian, before downing Carver Christian in the consolation semis. Credo Christian won the gold in the A championship defeating Bulkley Valley 3-1 in the final.

the heels of an impressive 6-2 win last Wednesday over the U.S. Division leading Tri-City Americans. The Cougars came back to beat the Rockets 3-2 on Saturday after the Royals earned a 2-1 win on Friday at Prospera Place. Rockets captain Colton Sissons said it was not a good effort by his team. “We had a big slump and I don’t know if it’s focus before the game or what,” said Sissons. “I don’t know exactly what it as but we have to fix it. We can’t be having efforts like that at home. We’re going to go back to work hard for the next couple days and come back hard on Wednesday.” Kelowna (11-14-21) is now 3-3 on a seven game home stand that ends on Wednesday against Lethbridge. Head coach Ryan Huska said it was a frustrating weekend. “If you don’t work as a group, you’re not going to win,” said Huska. “We have to play better in every area.” The Rockets will hit the road after Wednesday’s game for a six game road trip prior to the Western Hockey League’s Christmas break.

Heat hit break in inaugural CIS season Both UBC Okanagan volleyball teams can stop and take a deep breath after a hectic and eyeopening beginning to their inaugural season of Canada West competition. The Heat women head into the semester break with a 2-8 record, while the UBCO men sit at 3-7. The women finished off a tough first-half schedule on the road over the weekend with a pair of losses to the Calgary Dinos. On Friday, the Heat battled to the finish before succumbing to the Dinos in five sets (20-25, 25-20, 23-25, 25-23, 15-12). “We had our opportunities early on to put them away and we didn’t,” said Heat coach Steve Manuel. “They just got a little bit stronger and when push came to shove they made the plays and we didn’t. Calgary just played better and better as the match went on.” The tandem of fourth year Alex Basso and middle Katy Klomps led the way for UBC Okanagan with 13 kills apiece, while outside hitter Myrte Schön chipped in with a dozen. Kendra Wayling was the Heat’s defensive leader with 16 digs. For Calgary, Lindsey Doland had a 20-kill, 30 per cent performance, while big contributions came from Maura Hayes with 14 kills off the bench rand Ali Sandholm with 13 kills and no errors for a 48 per cent efficiency. On Saturday, the Heat were unable to overcome sophomore setter Jordhynn Guy’s impressive serving performance and fsolid play as the Dinos recorded a straight-sets victory over the Heat (25-21, t25-15, 25-22) to complete the sweep. “We didn’t quite have it today. We were a little kbanged up after last night’s marathon, and didn’t quite have the horses to maintain that level again,” said Manuel. “They played a lot better and we played quite tentative and thus, the final outcome.” Guy, who started a match for the first time this season, had four kills, seven digs, four blocks, an ace, and 34 assists for the Dinos in an impressive performance. UBC Okanagan responded with eight kills from Basso, with Schön and freshman Brianna Beamish chipping in five
each. Steve Manuel is ready for the semester break and is okay with where his team is positioned in the standings, especially after going through his team’s first semester schedule. “We had the toughest schedule of any team in Canada West to this point and we have fared quite well considering we have no CIS experience on our team. We could have been 4-6 just as easily as we are 2-8 and we know that. We are at the lower end result wise than we would like, but we’ve competed with five of the top teams in Canada West, and we are still sitting in a position where we can make a run for a playoff spot in the second semester.” The Heat return to ac-
tion Jan. 13 and 14 in Brandon.”
HEAT MEN
The UBCO men’s losing streak reached seven after being swept by the University of Calgary. On Friday, Graham Vigrass posted a seasonhigh 17 kills on the night, adding seven blocks and five as the Dinos prevailed 3-1 (25-21, 25-15, 15-25, 25-22). Vigrass, the 6-foot-8 middle and teammate Jay Blankenau both competed for Canada in the summer at the FISU games. “Calgary is a good team, they have players on that team that won the national championship two years ago,” said Heat coach Greg Poitras. “They’re the reign-
ing Canada West champions, and finished with a national bronze medal last year.” Fourth year Nate Speijer was the Heat’s top offensive player, scoring 15 kills to lead all UBC Okanagan players. Jon Russo and Greg Niemantsverdriet added eight each, while fourth year Riley McFarland and fifth year Mark Broome had three kills each. On Saturday, despite a solid effort in the opening set, the Heat went down 3-0 (30-28, 25-14, 25-14) to Calgary. Once again it was Vigrass leading the way for the Dinos with a 13-kill, five-block, 48 per cent performance. He was backed up by a strong effort from left side Chris
Hoag, who put up 11 kills and six digs. The Heat got another solid effort in a losing cause from outside hitter Speijer while McFarland put up eight kills. Coach Poitras said a lack of concentration in practice continues to affect his team’s results. “We are playing tough, and we are playing well against top teams, for one set, to 25, or a set and a half. Well that is how long we seem to be engaged at practice sometimes,” Poitras said. The Heat wrap up an extended eight-match road swing in its first action of 2012 with a Jan. 13 and 14 trip to Brandon. The next home court action for UBCO is Jan. 20 and 21 vs Alberta.

Warriors having a year Owls 6th, Bears 7th at B.C.s that sees the breaks going against them The Westside Warriors return to Royal LePage Place tonight (Tuesday), kicking off a fourgame home stand after a tumultuous week that saw the team trade its leading scorer and lose two out of three games. The Warriors lost 7-2 at home to Penticton on Friday before splitting two games in Prince George, winning 3-2 Saturday and losing by the same score on Sunday. The Warriors led 2-0 Sunday before the Spruce Kings came back. Westside appeared to go up 3-0
but had a goal disallowed. The Kings then scored a late goal on a deflection from the corner to win it 3-2. “That’s kind of the way our season has been going,” said Warriors coach Rylan Ferster. The Warriors are right back on the ice Tuesday, playing Penticton. They enter the game with a record of 9-14-0-4. “We’re only seven points out of playoffs and having the wins we have at this point I think that’s on of the positive things,” said Ferster.
“We’re getting healthier every day and getting more guys back everyday. We’re clawing our way back. “We’ve played some very good games and I like our team,” Ferster said. Newly acquired Warrior Marcus Basara played all three games after being acquired for Tyler Krause, and notched his first as a Warrior. The Warriors host Vernon on Friday and Prince George on Saturday, plus Nanaimo next week, as part of their four game home stand.

Strong season for young, up and coming local boxers Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
It’s been a productive year in the ring for three members of Kelowna’s Thistletown Boxing Club. Under the guidance of head coach Graham McIntosh, Connor McKinley, 17, Spencer Howard, 16, and Austin Riggs, 13, all made an impact in 2012 on the provincial boxing scene. All three boxers are coming off gold medal victories at the Boxing B.C. championships Nov. 26 and 27 in Revelstoke. McKinley took care of business in the 69 kilo weight class with a dominant 13-3 verdict over his opponent in the final. Howard fought his way to gold in the very tough 64 kilo weight class, narrowly beating his opponent from the Action Boxing Club, 13-12. Riggs won gold by walkover in the 57 kg class, then for good measure stepped up to the 15-year-old age group and

Former city councillor dies Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
A long-time Glenmore grape grower and former Kelowna city councillor died last week. Mary Serwa served four terms on council, from 1973 to 1982, as well as 12 years on the Glenmore Irrigation District board, until 1989. She was a founding member of the B.C. Grape Growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association in 1962. While on council, she represented Kelowna on the regional district board in 1975/76 and from 1979 to 1982. Former Kelowna city
Mary Serwa councillor and mayor, Jim Stuart, remembers her as a very good debater in council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you were debating her you had your hands full,â&#x20AC;? Stuart said. However, he added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold a grudge. She was a team player.â&#x20AC;? Stuart said she worked well for her Glenmore constituents, at a time when that community was smaller than it is today. One of her portfolios while on council was public works but she was also interested in parks, he recalled. Serwa moved to Kelowna in the early 1950s where she met and married Albert. He died in 2001. The pair operated a vineyard in Glenmore, and later in Winfield. She served as a director and later president of the grape growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association for several years beginning in 1972. She is survived by her son David and grandsons Ryan, Derrick and Levi as well as daughters Darlene Laramie, grandchildren Taylor and Jaime; and Yvonne Swensson. She is also survived by five of her eight siblings. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

W CHRISTMAS CHARITY
Seniors come to aid of Salvation Army S eniors living at Sandalwood Retirement Resort are again assisting the Salvation Army this year by hosting the 6th annual Scrooge Breakfastâ&#x20AC;? fundraiser on Thursday, 7 to 10 a.m. A buffet breakfast is featured along with prizes and Christmas entertainment to enjoy during your breakfast. This event is about the spirit of giving and remembering others less fortunate at this special time of the year. The seniors ask that you help decorate their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlie Brownâ&#x20AC;? Christmas tree by purchasing a gift card when you come for breakfast. These cards will be used to help teenagers in our community who come from families in need. The Salvation Army runs many programs, including the unique New Vista Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Drop-in. This drop-in has been going for 15 years. A variety of musical groups and soloists from across the Kelowna area, many who are seniors themselves, offer their talents for the benefit of those at-

In addition to music, educational presentations are done. Recently, the RCMP did a presentation on identity theft and fraud. Socializing is important to prevent depression. Depression can lead to more health complications. Seniors who go to the drop-in are still live in their own homes or in supportive housing. This gives them a chance to come together and be with people their own age. About 65 to 70 seniors attend each week. Many of the participants are over 80 yearsof age. They carpool together, drive or take taxi to atend

In fact, the Krohn family is hosting an event at the restaurant that is by invitation only. The Capital News apologizes for the error.
the events, which can become an important weekly outing. Part of the socializing includes a healthy soup and sandwich lunch that is prepared by a chef and an amazing team of kitchen volunteers, for a cost of $3. Having lunch is not required. Seniors can come just to be with others who can relate to what they are experiencing at this time in their lives. If something should happen that a senior can
no longer attend the dropin, she or he is not forgotten. Their friends will stay connected through telephone calls, emails or personal visits to homes and hospitals. The seniors provide the music, organize the food and clean up afterwards. It gives purpose to their lives, which we all need. If you would like to become part of the volunteer team that supports the drop-in program, call the volunteer coordinator Su-
zie Docherty at 250-8602329 or email suzied@ kelsa.ca. The seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drop-in runs on Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., from September to June, in the Salvation Army gym on Sutherland Avenue. Seniors are encouraged to come early to build friendships and play some board games. Sharen Marteny is a services consultant for seniors in Kelowna. 250-212-1257 www.seniorsconsulting.net

Signs and Symptoms Moderate to severe burning in the mouth is the main symptom of BMS and can persist for months or years. For many people, the burning sensation begins in late morning, builds to a peak by evening, and often subsides at night. Some feel constant pain; for others, pain comes and goes. Anxiety and depression are common in people with burning mouth syndrome and may result from their chronic pain.
In some people, burning mouth syndrome may have more than one cause. But for many, the exact cause of their symptoms cannot be found. Diagnosis A review of your medical history, a thorough oral examination, and a general medical examination may help identify the source of your burning mouth.

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CASH IN ON MODERN DAY GOLD RUSH! By Jason Delong
STAFF WRITER Roll up your sleeves and get ready to start your spring cleaning early this year. The Treasure Hunters Roadshow continues today in Kelowna and is looking for anything old. Remember those musical instruments you played with as a kid? You know, the ones that have been stored away in the attic for the past 30 years. Well it’s time to dig ‘em out, along with any other forgotten treasures. You might be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it. Roadshow representative, Archie Davis, explains what the event is all about. “It’s a chance to sell just about anything that’s old, and get a fair price. We host over 3,000 shows every year throughout the U.S. and Canada. Gold and silver, timepieces, war memorabilia, jewellery, fine art, coins and just about anything valuable can be sold at the Roadshow. This event is popular be-

over the years it added up to over 5 lbs. of gold. Now, not everyone has a jar of gold teeth lying around, but according to Davis, more than you might think have some sort of gold they can cash in. Davis says, “The Roadshow receives a fair amount of gold each day of the event.” Broken jewellery, gold coins and dental gold are all valuable items with today’s high gold prices. Whether you have 5 lbs. of gold or a single gold tooth, a pickup full of old military items or a single sword, you should visit the Roadshow this week.

The gentleman received over $31,243 for his gold fillings. He told Davis that over the years he would keep the extracted teeth when the owners didn’t want them. He would throw them in ajar and

Smart meters hot topic for NDP energy critic
Saving time and money on hiring procedures
Wade Paterson
t seems that the idea of having workplace standards for certain practices appeals to people in theory. Why then is there so much eye rolling and groaning when it comes to actually documenting—and following—them? Certainly it is a big job and perhaps that is part of the resistance to doing it. However, it is well worth the investment of time and effort in the long run. One excellent examWORK ple is how a company fills LIFE vacant job openings. Hiring will always have a subjective element to it— personal bias is just part of human nature. However, in today’s Laurie world it’s possible to minMills imize that by establishing a fair and consistent process. If your company does not have a clearly documented hiring process in place, you may want to make this a priority. Creating a standard operating procedure needn’t be complicated and an overview here of its component parts may be helpful. A key element of a standardized procedure is the intention behind it. When it comes to filling vacancies, hopefully we all agree that the goal is to hire the most qualified applicant for the job using a fair and defensible process. As well as capturing the purpose and steps involved, hiring procedures should clearly document the roles and responsibilities for each person involved in the process. That way everyone knows who is doing what which encourages accountability and efficiency. The first step of the hiring process is to determine exactly what job is being filled and what qualifications are required to perform it. Having an up-to-date job description will provide that information. It will also establish the pre-screening criteria, which should be objective and fair. Next is documenting the upfront preparation for the hiring process. Some questions to ask are: How many vacancies need to be filled and by when? How will we advertise? Who will be involved in the interview and selection stages? What forms, tools and documentation are needed to support the process? Where will the interviews be held? Depending on the size of the organization, different steps may be involved so it is helpful to use a simple checklist to ensure all the preparation is done well in advance of the interview stage.
STAFF REPORTER
A crowd of about 60 were on hand to get information and share their energy concerns with the provincial NDP energy critic. John Horgan, who is also the Opposition house leader for the NDP, held a two-hour public meeting at the First United Church Hall on Saturday. Horgan was on hand to discuss what the Liberal Party has been doing with B.C. Hydro, deferral accounts, smart meters, gravel pits, uranium mining, oil pipelines and fracking. However, most of the questions from the audience were geared towards smart meters. “You can have your views on smart meters, my concern is the fiscal impact of spending a billion dollars without public oversight,” said Horgan. “I believe that they should have gone to the utilities commission for a thorough assessment of whether that was a useful expenditure of a billion dollars.” Horgan said B.C. Hydro and FortisBC have argued that the smart meters will help the companies catch grow ops. “I’m thinking, if we want to launch an offensive against grow ops, why would we use our public energy utility to do that?” asked Horgan. “Why wouldn’t we adequately fund our court system? Why wouldn’t
we provide more sources to law enforcement? Why would we use the people who turn on the lights to track down the perps?” Horgan made it clear that he is not engaging in the health argument; rather, he is concerned with the financial side of the smart meters. “People are genuinely concerned about this technology. That’s not my argument…I’m not a doctor, I’m not prepared to engage in a debate with the public health officer. “But I do know, with absolute certainty, that the anxiety that these smart meters are creating are leading to health issues for people.” Horgan mentioned that it is likely advantageous that many Kelowna residents live in a FortisBC service area. “The Fortis people have an advantage because Fortis has to go to the utilities commission. So in your service area, the company that provides you with electricity has to go and defend smart meters. Hydro didn’t have to; Fortis does.” A heated discussion between Horgan and community activist Vicki Lightfoot took place during the question portion of the meeting. Lightfoot, who has worked to spread her concerns with smart meters to the public, said that she had gone door to door to gain signatures for a petition against the installation of smart meters. “We give you polit-

On Thursday, I thank you for doing that, however, you misrepresented that petition. You made an error when you were debating with Rich Coleman, you said 1,500 signatures and it was 15,000,” said Lightfoot. “That petition was nothing about reinstating the B.C. utilities commission, that’s your thing. Our petition was about asking the government to place a moratorium on the
installation of these meters until all of the issues about health, cost and privacy are dealt with. You misrepresented our petition.” Horgan snapped back by saying, “There is nothing that I’ve ever done that’s satisfied you, Vicki. If you want me out of your way, come to Juan de Fuca, put your name on the ballot and beat me. “I don’t know what more I can do for you.

We hope to adopt her from her foster home into another home bringing her back here will be too stressful for her.Mitera is now showing that she is playful and silly once comfortable, she is far away from being a lap cat, but if you get down to her level, she is eager for attention and belly rubs.

Business license renewals mailed to rural area business owners Business owners operating in the Regional District of Central Okanagan Electoral Areas should have received a business license renewal notice in the mail. The deadline for renewing at the reduced rate of $85 is Dec. 31. After that date, an additional $25 late fee will apply to any business license renewal for the regional district. “The end of December renewal date for businesses either based in or working in the Central Okanagan East or Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas coincides with all other municipalities participating in the Inter-Community Business License program,” said CORD spokesperson Bruce Smith. The two electoral areas include communities such as Joe Rich, Ellison, south Lakeshore Road, Brent Road, Trepanier, North Westside, Traders Cove, Fintry and Wilson’s Landing. In order to take part in the Inter-Community Business License program, qualifying local companies based in or doing work in the electoral areas must first have a regional district business license before they apply to purchase the Inter-Community Business License for an additional $150. The inter-community license allows qualifying businesses the flexibility to work in one or more of the 18 other participating municipalities without having to purchase a business license for each. For more information regarding business licensing in the regional district, check out the web site regionaldistrict.com and look for the quick linksbusiness licenses. There are several ways to renew or apply for your business license with the Regional District of Central Okanagan. You may pay in person at the Regional District office at 1450 KLO Rd. or you may drop your renewal notice and payment in the mail. Online payments for Regional District Business License renewals and

Clean Energy Vehicle program means savings Starting this week, anyone who chooses to buy or lease a new clean energy vehicle can get up to $5,000 off the pre-tax price thanks to a $7.5 million initiative announced by the provincial government last month. Several Kelowna car dealerships are participating in this program: Don Folk Chevrolet; Harmony Honda; Jacobsen Pontiac Buick; Kelowna Ford Lincoln Sales; Kelowna Infiniti Nissan; Kelowna Mercedes-Benz;
Kelowna Toyota; Orchard Ford Sales; and Valley Mitsubishi. The Clean Energy Vehicle Incentive Program is part of the Clean Energy Transportation program that gives British Columbians incentives to choose from an array of greener transportation options. B.C. is one of only two provinces where a program like this exists.

This consistency then allows for quality control. As with any procedure, hiring doesn’t always go smoothly. Human error and unexpected obstacles can arise. When glitches do hap-

REQUEST FOR AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMISSION MEMBERS The Regional District of Central Okanagan is seeking individuals within the agricultural community to serve as members on the Agricultural Advisory Commission (AAC). The Commission functions in an advisory role for the Regional District Development Services Department and Regional Board by reviewing and commenting on Agricultural Land Reserve applications, Zoning and Official Community Plan amendments, Neighbourhood Plans and all other planning matters which may have an impact on agricultural land and the agricultural industry. The Commission also serves as a liaison and voice for the agricultural sector to help ensure that local government understands the significant role of agriculture in the economic and social vitality of the region. Other initiatives such as an annual farm tour, presentations and attendance at workshops and other agricultural functions also help to raise awareness of and build respect for the farming community. Agricultural Advisory Commission members should represent a range of skills and agricultural interests (eg. orchardists, ranchers, grape and vegetable growers, marketing agents, etc.) and will be selected on the basis of interest and participation in agricultural and community matters. The Regional District will strive to ensure all areas of the region are represented on the Commission. Terms of Reference are available on the Regional District website at: http://www.regionaldistrict.com/docs/planning/AgComTofR.pdf or at the Development Services Department.

BUSINESS W DOWNTOWN KELOWNA
‘Small Shop Saturday’ offers many little extras for shoppers Jan Johnson CONTRIBUTOR
Here’s an interesting piece of information—did you know that when you spend a dollar at a locally owned business, you create $5 to $14 in value that goes right back into your community? But when you spend $1 at a national chain or big box store, 80 per cent of it leaves your area. It’s in this spirit that the ‘small shop’ movement was born. Similar to the ‘local food’ movement, the philosophy is to contribute to the local economy, creating a more sustainable community. The downtown Kelowna shopkeepers are keeping the spirit alive by presenting Small Shop Saturday downtown on Saturday, Dec. 17. On that day, many of the downtown shops will be offering little extras that you just don’t find at the mass market stores— maybe cookies and hot
chocolate at one spot, special one-day discounts and features at another, maybe free in-store giftwrapping or a gift with purchase. Each shop will have something unique to offer you, which makes for a day of fun surprises. What a great, fun way to do your Christmas shopping! You can check your favourite shop’s website or facebook page to find out what they’re offering that day. We’re hoping to make Small Shop Saturdays a monthly event in 2012, so stay tuned for more details on future dates. Let’s keep it local! Speaking of little extras downtown, did you know that the skating rink at Jim Stuart Park is now open for the season? Here’s your chance to spend an afternoon with the kids (or just being a kid) with the perfect lakefront view. Do remember to bring your own skates, since
‘‘

there is no skate rental facility at the park. Once again, remember that Saturday parking is free in December at all parking meters and cityowned lots downtown.
With over 30 parking lots and two parkades, there’s a free parking spot waiting just for you. The merchants of downtown are offering a free gift wrapping station in December, located at the Towne Centre Mall this year. Just bring your gifts with receipts from any downtown shop, and your gift-wrapping worries will be over. Although it’s a free service, they will be accepting donations to the food bank. If you like to help
those less fortunate at Christmas, here are a few ideas. You can choose a child from the Giving Tree, at Tigerlily (for the 20th year running). Bring back an unwrapped present for that child, and it will be delivered to the Kelowna Women’s Resource Centre for their annual children’s Christmas party. A very popular program every year, it’s a great way to spread some Christmas cheer to a child who is having a difficult
time. Gifts need to be returned by Dec. 17, so please come in soon if you want to participate in this worthwhile program. If you’d like to be a Book Angel this year, drop into Mosaic Books or Tigerlily. Book Angels help Project Literacy to purchase new books for adults with low literacy skills who are working to become better readers. It’s a very worthy organization which is based downtown and is struggling to keep going on
very little funding. Well, I hope I’ve been able to cover even half of what’s happening downtown this month. There’s so much to do and see that it’s hard to keep up with it all. I wish everyone a relaxed and joyful holiday season—see you in the New Year. Jan Johnson has coowned Tigerlily Fashions downtown for 25 years. If you have any news about downtown shop openings and/or events, please email them to her at tigerlilyfashion@shaw.ca.

NEWS W ELECTRONIC BOOK
Learning geography in a fun way Is it possible to trick your little ones into learning? With his first children’s electronic book “The Tears of Ma,” Kelona author John Bracey has crafted a playful adventure that features eight animal friends into a geography lesson. The Tears of Ma is currently available at the Apple iBookstore and has been released in time for the holiday season to all major online eBook stores. The Tears of Ma can be quickly downloaded and enjoyed by a wide range of age groups. “Parents and caregivers will enjoy reading this whimsical tale to kids aged three to five,” said Bracey. “More than that,
they can sneak in a little geography lesson, as the
Dr. Colin Yarrow is now accepting new patients including prenatal, postnatal and newborns
tale introduces the shapes and names of the continents of the Earth.” The Tears of Ma can also help older children re-enforce their knowledge of geography and explore creative and alternative ways to learn about subjects that might otherwise be dry or difficult to grasp. “I’ve never seen anything quite like this before,” said Greg Smith, teacher and 2011 recipient of the B.C. Teacher Librarians Distinguished Service Award.
Glenmore Medical Building 1605 Gordon Dr., Kelowna 250-763-4400
“It’s a great way for our youth to start to understand the earth from a spatial perspective.” The Tears of Ma follows a young boy named John who, after a fun day with his friends at the beach, falls asleep and drifts into an intriguing dream world. John watches the adventures of eight animal friends in a strange world made up of floral clouds and colourful trees. With names based on the continents, readers will meet Rica the lion, Sia the bear, Euro the squirrel, Nam and Sam the eagles, Aus the kangaroo, Tica the dolphin and Ma the monkey. Periodically, a mysterious green ball bounds through their land and becomes the focus for their adventure. Bracey and his wife Katherine have been writing and designing educational based products for more than 25 years. Currently, their website www.Seabrace.com is focused on Historic Journeys of Discovery and an interactive physical playground product that teaches the Alphabet to early learners, called The Alpha Hop.

February. As part of the program, students will develop skills through hands-on experience with a community project. “Adding practical understanding and practice within a supervised site allows students to build confidence,” said Werger. The program covers a vast variety of skills including how to use power tools and other equipment used by residential framing technicians and carpenters. “All housing built in conjunction with the program will be helping those in need within the community,” said Werger. Previously in Kelowna, a Habitat for Humanity project was completed, with the students building a duplex in West Kelowna for two low-income families. Other recent previous Okanagan College Residential Construction projects have included partnerships with Agur Lake Camp in the South Okanagan and the Armstrong Caravan Theatre. Students in the Residential Construction program will not only develop experience but gain a sense of pride and accomplishment when the project is complete. “Job site experience sets the Residential Construction program aside from others,” said Werger. The college welcomes anyone to attend the info night, with all campuses offering the program.

Reaching out to caregivers of those afflicted with Alzheimer’s Who takes care of the caregiver? That is a very important issue for Kelowna families contending with dementia, since caregiving can be physically and emotionally stressful. “One of the most important things you can do to support someone with dementia is to take care of yourself,” says Jennifer Hamilton, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s regional support and education coordinator. “By acknowledging and addressing your own needs, you will be better prepared to provide effective care and support.” Some self-care tips include: 1. Set realistic expectations for yourself. Take one day at a time 2. Get help. Don’t try to do everything by yourself 3. Look after yourself. Talk to someone who is willing to listen. Continue to participate in activities you enjoy. Learn relaxation techniques. Get some exercise,
even if it’s just a quick walk around the block 4. Make regular appointments with your doctor. Let them know if you are concerned about your stress level 5. Participate in the Society’s free Kelowna support and information group. For more information contact Hamilton at 250-860-0305 or jhamilton@alzheimerbc.org The support group serves as a place to exchange information, support and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia. A forum for sharing practical tips and strategies for coping with the disease, the support group also provides an opportunity to decrease feelings of isolation and loneliness and to find a positive outlook on things without being misunderstood. For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementias, visit the society web site at www.alzheimerbc.org.

In Memoriam Henry Benjamin Buhler January 1, 1924 - November 29, 2011 We, Henry’s family, grieve the loss of this gracious husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and caring friend to all of us. His generous spirit and integrity were an inspiration to all who knew him. Among the many that will miss him are his wife, Gladys; sons, Daniel (Kelowna) and Andrew (Salt Spring Island); granddaughter, Bree Anne; stepdaughters, Cindy Fehr and Sandra Johnson; stepsons, David and Douglas Larson; Siblings: Linda Bergey, Martha Allen, Dori Jacobson and Gordon Buhler; and a “crowd” to whom he was Favorite Uncle. He was predeceased by his parents, Anna and David Buhler; brothers: Rueben, Elmer and Charlie, and sister, Dorothy Stickle. To his coworkers, during his years as a lineman for the power company, he was the guy to count on to get the job done and get it right. He loved his Lord and lived his life by the credo of Christ’s second great commandment: He loved his neighbor as himself.
It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Mary Serwa on November 30, 2011. Mary was predeceased by her loving husband of 49 years, Albert, in 2001, as well as her brother, Mark Taylor and sisters Liz Taylor and Lil Titanich. Mary is survived by her son, David and his sons Ryan, Derrick (Christine) and Levi as well as her daughters Darlene Laramie and Yvonne Svensson and Darlene’s children Taylor Laramie (Tanie) and Jaime Edmondson (Shaun) and by her close friend Jerry Sandhu. She will be sorely missed by her many granddogs. Mary is also survived by five of her eight siblings: Cass Bailly, Anne Stephanow, Florence Hewko, Lorraine Boyanski (Fred) and many nieces and nephews as well as her in-laws, Frank Serwa, Ernie Serwa, Eddie Serwa (Marj), Irene Serwa, Aunt Helen Serwa, Mike & Mary Syrnyk, & Adam & Adeline Semeniuk. Mary’s adventurous spirit took her from Roblin, Manitoba in the early 1950’s to Kelowna where she met and married Albert, the love of her life. Long-time Glenmore residents, Mary and Albert ran the family farm and many other businesses over the years. Mary was dedicated to her community and served four terms as a city alderman from 1973 to 1982. She also served on the Regional District, the Glenmore Irrigation District and was a founding member of the Grape Growers Association. Join us for a Celebration of Mary’s Life on Wednesday, December 7th at 1:00pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen make - aheads The next few weeks can be pretty hectic, so it’s wise to prepare a few appetizers and sweets to carry you over the holiday season now—whatever can be made ahead and frozen or refrigerated. Rum balls and Christmas cakes are the classic make-ahead sweets, because both age well over the weeks until the holidays are over. But, most cookies will last for several weeks as long as they’re kept in airtight containers and they’re well-hidden from the family sweet tooth. Slices and squares often can be made up ahead and frozen, ready to be thawed when needed, as do cakes and loaves like this Yogurt Loaf with Blueberries. I’m a real fan of ice cream pies and frozen desserts which you can make ahead of a special occasion, because they’re all ready to serve when the big day arrives. For those dishes you can’t make ahead of time, do as much of the preparation as far ahead as possible, so all that’s needed at the last minute is to combine and cook them, or a final assembly. With these make-ahead preparations, you can enjoy the festive season as much as the friends and family you’ve invited to share a bite with you. And, that’s most important of all. Food traditions are important to continue or begin over the coming weeks, whether it’s a baking day with your favourite munchkins or a special recipe. They’re what memories are made of. For instance, the following appetizer is a favourite in our house, traditional at this time of year, and it’s one of about 200 recipes in my new book, Jude’s Kitchen, now available in bookstores and wine shops. It’s organized through all the seasons of the year, featuring local produce from around B.C. when it’s fresh and at its best. There are also wine tasting notes from noted B.C. wine writer John Schreiner that accompany many of the recipes. Incidentally, my apologies for a typo in last week's Laredo Beef Stew recipe: It's for two lb. stew beef, not one.
Cheddar Pennies At a promotional event in Summerland last weekend for my book, Jude’s Kitchen, I made a batch of these up with some other holiday appie recipes from the book. They were a real hit and would be excellent with the Mission Hill Family Estate Reserve Pinot Noir, with its elegant, silky feel, lush red fruit and hint of peppery spice. They can be made up well ahead of time, formed into rolls and frozen. The rolls also keep well in the fridge for a week or two. 1 c. (250 ml) flour 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) paprika 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) dry mustard 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) salt 1/2 c. (125 ml) butter 1 tsp. (5 ml) Worcestershire 3 c. (750 ml) cheddar cheese hot pepper sauce sesame or poppy seeds Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
Cream softened butter, beating in Worcestershire sauce, then grated sharp cheddar cheese. Thoroughly mix in dry ingredients, using your fingers at the end to shape into four rolls, about the diameter of a penny or a nickel. Wrap each in wax paper and refrigerate until firm. These will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator, ready to be sliced and baked as company comes in the door. To bake, pre-heat oven to 400 F. Slice roll into quarter-inch thick coins, placing each on a baking sheet, some distance apart. Add a drop of hot sauce (I used the locally-made Caramoomel Last Rites Hot Sauce and it was delicious) to the top of each, smear it around, and top with sesame or poppy seeds. Press into the dough. Bake for eight to 10 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Let cool. This probably makes 8-10 dozen, depending on the thickness of your slices and the diameter of your roll.

Yogurt Loaf with Blueberries This is not overly sweet, but the blueberries just burst with flavour in this tender loaf. It's excellent served alongside a cheese plate or with a slice of sharp cheddar. You can make a couple of regular-sized loaves, or three or four smaller ones. I like the small ones for serving to company because they look so nice and there’s no need to cut each slice in half for a party plate. 1 1/4 c. (310 ml) flour 1 c. (250 ml) whole wheat flour 1/2 c. (125 ml) brown sugar 1/4 c. (60 ml) oat bran 2 tsp. (10 ml) minced lemon zest 1 tsp. (5 ml) baking soda 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) salt 1 egg 1 c. (250 ml) plain, fat-free yogurt 1/2 c. (125 ml) olive oil 1 1/4 c. (310 ml) blueberries
Pre-heat the oven to 400 F. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, oat bran, minced lemon zest, baking soda and salt. In a smaller bowl whisk the eggs, then add the yogurt and whisk until smooth, then add the oil and whisk again. Combine the yogurt mixture with the flour mixture and stir briefly, but until most of the flour is no longer visible. Briefly mix in the blueberries, fresh or frozen. Spray loaf pans with oil, and divide the batter up amongst them. Don’t smooth the top too much. You may sprinkle the top with a very light dusting of sugar for a bit of a sparkle. Bake for about 30 minutes. Makes 2 regular loaves or 3 or 4 smaller ones.
