Does West Kelowna get a free ride?
Thomson targeted by MLA recallers Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
When it comes to implementing region-wide initiatives, the municipality west of the bridge is starting to be viewed as a bit of stumbling block. “How are we going to deal with West Kelowna?” said Kelowna City Councillor Graeme James, upon learning his counterparts voted against chipping in for the second stage of a regional plan they approved in its first phase years earlier. “Frankly, I’m getting a little tired of subsidizing West Kelowna.” The newest bone of contention between the two governments stems from a controversial garbage and recycling removal system. FRANKLY, I’M If all impacted local governments took part, it GETTING A should have cost an extra LITTLE TIRED OF $1.50 per household. SUBSIDIZING WEST Without West KelowKELOWNA. na, participating municipalities will pay $1.70 per Graeme James, household, and associated Kelowna city costs could run up the bill councillor even further. While recent attention has cast the system in a spotlight, it all started nearly two years ago when all local governments in the Central Okanagan gave the goahead to the regional district to proceed with the Automated Garbage Collection System. Among the measures taken at the start of 2009 were distributing bins that delineated between yard waste, garbage and recyclables. At that time cameras were installed onto the regional district’s garbage trucks. While truck drivers have been given a view of what’s in the junk for a couple of years now, the next phase of the system will allow for snapshots of misuse,

Local recall organizers say they are pooling their resources in the three Central Okanagan ridings and will target Kelowna-Mission Liberal MLA Steve Thomson first, likely in March. Kelowna-Mission recall official proponent Justin Neufeld told the Capital News Tuesday he expects the first recall campaign in B.C. to be held on southern Vancouver Island in January. Fight HST, which collected signatures on petitions across B.C. to force a province-wide referendum on the Harmonized Sales Tax, is promoting recall of select Liberal MLAs in an attempt to force the government to scrap the HST. But it cannot run individual recall campaigns, that must be done by local organizations. Despite that, Fight HST, led by former Social Credit premier Bill Vander Zalm and former B.C. Conservative leader Chris Delaney, is promoting recall and has said the top three ridings on a list of 18 it drew up will be the first to hold campaigns.

W WINTER DRIVING
W HONOUR
Be ready to adapt to snow and ice
Citizen patrollers receive awards
Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Cardboard boxes flew violently through the air and one lodged under the front bumper as I tried to stop a Ford Taurus on a wet and icy road. “If that was a kid, there’s just no way (you would stop),” said the Justice Institute’s traffic safety specialist Grant Kinney after the car ground to a halt. The driving exercise was put on by ICBC to show how long it takes to stop in poor road conditions at various speeds. Kinney showed how long it takes to stop at 50, 60 and 70 kilometres per hour on a road surface covered with simulated ice, and then invited members of the media to see how long it took them to stop the vehicle when they were speeding. A pile of boxes was placed at the location where you should be able to stop if going 50 km/h; at 65 km/h it took me the width of three more parking stalls to bring the vehicle to a stop. While in this case the end result was a few crushed cardboard boxes and a racing heart, out on the road the consequenc-
Supt. Bill McKinnon es of speeding could be much more tragic. And with weather conditions worsening, police and ICBC are encouraging drivers to slow down and adapt their driving. There is a “big spike” every December in the number of crashes, and “that’s because people are driving too fast for conditions,” said Jill Blacklock, road safety manager at ICBC. And those conditions are very different on the mountain passes compared to the valley bottom, said Environment Canada’s Doug Lundquist. However, they can also be different from street to street throughout the city. He also noted that road temperature can be different than the air temperature, so there could be ice on the roads even if the temperature is above
METEOROLOGIST Doug Lundquist with Environment Canada (above) talks about being prepared for hazardous winter driving conditions in Kelowna; local media (right) had an opportunity to find out what it’s like to stop a car on simulated ice while driving at 60 km/h, with a wall of boxes serving as a collision point.

freezing. Supt. Bill McKinnon noted that speed limits are the maximum speed you should drive, based on ideal road conditions, and noted the spike in crashes as the winter season arrives comes with drivers failing to adjust to the con-
ditions. He also said driver inexperience, combined with speed, “is a recipe for disaster.” McKinnon said police have begun some “traffic blitzes” in an attempt to get drivers to slow down. If they don’t, they
could face a ticket for driving too fast for road conditions, which comes with a fine of $167. McKinnon added that drivers should ensure they’ve got good tires, their wipers are in good condition and that the windshield is actually
defrosted when they head out. ICBC is also encouraging drivers to ensure their tires are inflated properly and appropriately rated for the weather conditions in their driving area. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com
Pedestrian overpass proves ideal speed trap location Cheryl Weirda STAFF REPORTER
The new Dayton Street pedestrian overpass has become the Kelowna RCMP’s latest speed trap. Officers perched atop the overpass above Highway 97 on Monday issued 36 tickets, with
the fastest speed clocked at 93 kilometres per hour. As well, officers ticketed one driver for misusing the HOV lane and one for following too closely. The enforcement from the overpass was part of a day-long traffic blitz aimed at curbing speed and catching people run-

ning traffic lights, talking on their cell phone and not buckling up. A total of 111 tickets were handed out Monday, with some of the other tickets being handed out in four different school zones around the city. As well, motorists were ticketed for speeding on Clem-
ent Avenue, with top speeds of 94 km/hr in the 60 zone, and 85 km/hr in the 50 zone, while others were caught speeding on Benvoulin Road. Six drivers were nabbed for seat belt violations on Highway 97 at Dilworth Drive, two were caught going through a red light, and another driver was
ticketed for talking on a cell phone. “Police want to remind motorists to slow down and abide by the rules of the road,” said Sgt. Ann Morrison. “As winter creeps upon us, road conditions will deteriorate and motorists need to adjust their driving behaviour accordingly.”
Two members of the West Kelowna Citizens Patrol have been honoured for their volunteer efforts, the provincial government announced last week. Ray Lawley and Willy Galka were both given the volunteer awards as part of the 12th annual Solicitor General Crime Prevention and Community Safety Award. Their awards are intended to honour a person’s commitment to their community through outstanding contribution toward crime prevention and community safety. Galka and Lawley both joined the West Kelowna Citizens Patrol in 2007 and give an average of 43 and 50 hours respectively to the organization per month. Both have been actively involved in the Friday and Saturday evening patrols in the community. While on patrol, Galka has assisted in the identification of four stolen vehicles, which were then recovered by the RCMP. Galka also volunteers to monitor and maintain patrol equipment and provides his own vehicle for the patrol. “Crime in our communities should not be tolerated, and the commitment and willingness to get involved demonstrated by the men, women and young people honoured here today proves that,” said Solicitor General Rich Coleman on Friday. “All British Columbians benefit from the contributions of these individuals and my hope is that others will be inspired to participate in keeping their communities safe.”

Armament plant officially unveiled in Winfield Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
As debate on nationally broadcast radio raged over Canada’s decision to pull out of Afghanistan Monday, the Secretary to the Minister of National Defence, Laurie Hawn, flew into the Okanagan to open a new armament business. ArmorWorks officially opened its Canadian plant in Winfield on Monday, with founder Bill Perciballi telling reporters his company moved north to take advantage of more competitive labour costs and to avoid U.S. export restrictions on the products his company produces. “We make a product and we hope it’s never used,” said Perciballi, noting the work demands high quality control standards which will see each employee tasked with ensuring the protective gear works. At the opening, gear

WE MAKE A PRODUCT AND WE HOPE IT’S NEVER USED. Bill Perciballi, ArmorWorks founder
like ballistic vests and helmets soldiers use in the field, was on display for those attending to get a first-hand look at the goods the company will produce in its new Lake Country industrial park home. ArmorWorks develops products for everything from combat vehicles to aircraft and commercial architecture and, as such, the displays included some of the heavyduty machinery used to make it—like large industrial sewing machines. “What’s really important to me and to all Ca-
nadians is to keep our men and women alive,” said Conservative MP Hawn, as he opened the event. Hawn confirmed the company is bidding on several requests for proposals with the federal government and is likely to secure lucrative contracts. “Some of the high tech stuff they’re working on here is really revolutionary and it’s going to extend beyond Canada’s borders to other nations that we’re working with side by side,” he said. ArmorWorks has apparently selected Kelowna because of the trained workforce and the building where they’re situated, which was once the head of operations for Pacific Safety Products. Brad Field, the former founder and CEO of Pacific Safety Products, is serving as ArmorWorks director of corporate development, a position he has held since 2008.

Political sign bylaw relaxed Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign—blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind.” Those song lyrics from a 1970s Canadian hit by the Five Man Electrical Band may spring to mind during the next election, when the results of a Monday city council decision come to fruition. While dealing with a report Kelowna city staff put together to clarify rules around erecting campaign signs during elections, council voted in favour of ditching all limitations on the numbers of signs placed on private property. “It’s private property, and it reflects on the candidate if they choose to put (out too many),” said Coun. Kevin Craig. “We run the risk of over-regulating.” While the motion split council momentarily, it went forward when Coun. Andre Blanleil— who wanted less regulation—voted in favour of the amendment along with Couns. Craig, Charlie Hodge, Graeme James and Luke Stack. Previously, each home was restricted to two signs per property frontage. Now the number of signs a homeowner can stick in their yard are limitless, although they do have to be smaller than 1.5 square metres. No election signs are permitted in public parks, on traffic medians, or on curbs, sidewalks, posts, poles, hydrants, fences bridges or city-owned and maintained tree wells. The city has some areas that are set aside for the planting of campaign signs, although even there they can’t obscure the line of vision from a street, access road or sidewalk to oncoming traffic. In general, much of what was presented to council was pre-existing in an unwieldy document that dealt with all sign bylaws. If a candidate is found contravening the terms of the bylaw, they could face a hefty fine, although the city has yet to dole out any penalty related to the signage bylaws.

nouncements. The PSAs are being created through a partnership between the Kelowna RCMP, the regional district’s traffic safety officer, the school district and Rutland Senior Secondary’s graphic arts department. They will also be putting together some radio PSAs on the same topic. “The goal is to have the PSAs broadcast locally…and eventually circulate them provincially,” said Const. Steve Holmes, adding they will also
eventually be posted to the B.C. RCMP’s website, bc.rcmp.ca. Last week, police warned drivers that driving by a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing puts students’ lives at risk. According to the Motor Vehicle Act, it is an offence to fail to stop for a school bus, both when you are driving behind the bus or approaching it from the opposite direction. Failure to do so could result in a $167 fine and three points against your driver’s licence.

W BEN LEE PARK
Art wall has inspired a debate WORDSMITH
Jennifer Smith
I
t must be kind of cool to be Ben Lee. Not only would you get to walk through one of our biggest and brightest (if not a little bit notorious) parks and know you’re quite literally on your own home turf, but if you were to take that walk today, you would also be able to look over at one picturesque retaining wall and see you are still a hero to the young. For there, inscribed on what would otherwise be a humdrum piece of urban existence—a wall separating a building from a lawn—some young artist has scribbled a desperate message. “This one’s 4 Ben Lee. Help us out,� it reads in all its florescent green glory. The lovely neon spray is a sign of the times, or a tag for the time being, depending on your perspective. Presumably asking the venerable former alderman/councillor/parks enthusiast to stick up for the graffiti artfully added to the wall around it, the message is also a tribute to a man for whom there is clearly still respect. As someone who fought for public parks and served as the first Chinese teacher in B.C.—a position which even just from the “first� attached to it indicates he ran counter to the grain— it’s clear he’s left his mark. This is a little of what graffiti is about as well, one might add, being interesting, provocative, running counter to the grain and, of course, leav-
ing one’s mark. It is somewhat hard to describe the particular piece in question, although one look at it and one would be hard pressed not to call it art. A little Dr. Seuss meets Tim Burton, the style walks the line between brilliance and dark thrill and has earned a protective eye, and a petition, from a local neighbour. Another, less than expected hero who is (respectfully) a little older than even the ancient 30-year-old graffiti artists the city staff and councillors seem to find so baffling, is 73-year-old Bernice Tyler who simply says she wants the kids to have a place to do their artwork. The art wall, as she’s dubbed it, has become a local attraction, a part of people’s daily walks and, with news of her petition, a draw for those from other neighbourhoods to come down and see. Whether you could call these graffiti artists local heroes or not is questionable, but they’ve certainly made art talk a little more interesting for the average person these days and, I dare say, there’s not many pieces of public art that can draw the same crowds. In fact, just south of us in Penticton the city is actually paying for the same thing. The ReImagine Art

ART OR GRAFFITI? Images on the Ben Lee
Park wall that have become the centre of a debate between city hall and local residents. Festival draws a city grant and is governed by the Downtown Penticton Association, but effectively produces the same style of work—giant murals from several bright artistic minds all competing for space. Creativity and thinking outside the box has to start somewhere and while the City of Kelowna is big on creative rhetoric, I dare say they might rethink their stance on trying to annihilate this one. Apparently, some-
one from parks has planted vines in front of the wall to stop the scribblers, and so Bernice has taken up the Ben Lee Park challenge. So what do you say, powers that be? Couldn’t you just let the little sneaker dude ride it out for a while? We’re really sort of drowning in generic plantings these days, maybe a little creative painting would hit the spot.

Step back on new drinking laws draws positive response Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
The head of the B.C. Food and Restaurant Association is encouraged that the provincial government is taking a second look at the “unintended consequences” of the public’s reaction to new penalties for drivers caught with a blood alcohol level over .05. “I just think its smart that the Solicitor General is taking another look at this,” said BCFRA president Ian Tostenson, add-
ing that he believes a joint education campaign needs to be launched. As a result of the new penalties and uncertainly about how much alcohol causes a person to hit .05, fewer people are having a drink with dinner. That’s caused an estimated 15 to 30 per cent hit to the hospitality industry, said Tostenson. “It’s almost at a point of having to close our businesses,” he said. New penalties were imposed Sept. 20, giving police options beyond
the 24-hour roadside suspension. A blood alcohol reading in the “warn” range between .05 and .08 per cent can result in a three-day driving ban, a $200 “administrative penalty” and another $250 fee to have a driver’s licence reinstated. Drivers may also have their car impounded for three days and be billed for towing and storage, without ever exceeding the legal limit. For those who exceed .08, steeper on-the-spot fines and 30-day vehicle seizures
are now within the discretion of police, in addition to charges if they proceed with prosecution. Solicitor General Rich Coleman said Monday that since the new penalties took effect, it’s become an “urban legend” that people can’t have even one drink if they’re going to drive home. That’s having an impact on restaurant and pub business that was not intended when the measure was imposed, he said. More than 1,400 drivers were nailed with
tougher penalties in the first 20 days of the crackdown under the new rules. Before that, officers had issued 24-hour roadside suspensions to as many as 40,000 drivers a year, but those did not include financial penalties or vehicles towed to an impound lot. Coleman said the public needs more education on the roadside penalties for those under .08, and when it comes to seizing vehicles, police may as well. “If the vehicle can be
parked legally somewhere safe, or if there’s another person who can drive, it doesn’t have to be towed under the legislation,” he said. Coleman has asked ICBC to help educate the public in their annual Counterattack advertising program that is run each Christmas season. He said demonstrations where reporters go to pubs with police, have a drink or two, then get tested with a roadside screening device would also be useful. Such a demonstration
has already been held in Kelowna. Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon declined to comment on the solicitor general’s announcement this week, saying only that they are paid to enforce the laws that the government puts in place. The new penalties were placed in legislation last spring, and if they are to be changed, amendments would have to be debated in the B.C. legislature in the new year. —with files by Tom Fletcher of Black Press
Bail decision for accused drug smuggler awaits judge’s ruling A West Kelowna man arrested on drug charges in connection to the alleged attempt to import cocaine into Canada in a fruit grinding machine, will likely have to wait until Friday to learn whether or not he will be granted bail. Clifford Roger Montgomery, 33, has been in custody since his arrest early last month, and Crown and defence lawyers made submissions to Judge Robin Smith on the issue of whether or not he should be granted bail during a hearing held Monday. Montgomery had a number of family members and supporters in the

Also facing charges are West Kelowna’s Barry Ready, whose bail hearing was adjourned to December, and Mohammed Aslam and Victor Perez Rodriguez, both arrested while trying to cross the U.S. border into Mexico.

W AGRICULTURAL WINTER FAIR
Here’s your chance to own 50% of a successful driving range!
B.C. apple entries earn high praise Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
B.C. apple growers picked a bushel full of awards at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto last weekend. For the Gala variety, Karmjit and Balvir Gill of Kelowna took first place, while Enio Leardo of Summerland took third place. He also took third place in Golden Delicious, tops for his Spartans, and also first in the “other” class, for his Nicola variety. Harjinder Brar took second place for his Spartans. In the new varieties section, Jim Campbell of Osoyoos won the Canadian Horticultural Forum trophy as winner of the section, with a first for his Aurora Golden Gala variety and seconds for his Ambrosia in the Champion and Reserve categories. Devin Jell, of Gartrell Heritage Farms, took first place in the Ambrosia class, third for Aurora and first in Champion and Reserve. Summerland grower Joe Sardinha, who is also president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, came in third for his Ambrosias and third for a collection of five varieties. Fred and Phyllis Nelson took second place for their Auroras. Kelowna’s Roseridge Orchards, operated by Germaine and Robert Hogue, took third place in the Other category for their Pink Lady variety, while Jamie Kidston, of Coldstream, took second in that category. Tarsem Dhoot took first place in the Best Collection of Five Varieties. Tristan Mennell, of Mennell Brothers Organics in Cawston, came third in the heaviest apple category. “Over the last three years, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair has proved to be a great venue for showcasing Canadian apples and the amazing work Canadian growers do,” said Sardinha. “As president of the BCFGA, I am also extremely proud of how successful our growers were in capturing many categories in the Royal National Apple Competition again this year, proving that B.C. apples are second to none.” The BCFGA repre-
sents the more than 800 commercial growers in B.C., with a mandate “to foster a business environ-

W OUR VIEW
Don’t dump it on the police
Y
ou can blame it on the negative reaction from restaurant and bar owners. You can blame it on the equally negative reaction from their patrons. You might even blame it on a cabinet minister trying to improve his public persona in eyeing up a run to succeed Gordon Campbell as Liberal leader and become our next premier. But whatever the reason, B.C. Solicitor-General Rich Coleman said Monday he wants
B.C. police to lighten up on how they apply our province’s tougher and more expensive new drinking laws. What? So the idea here is that the government will bring in a new law, and then tell the police to go easy on how it is enforced. The RCMP and municipal police forces around B.C. must be shaking their heads over that bit of shameless political dancing: Backstep from the policy and shift the responsibility for interpreting it over the police.
MAIN SWITCHBOARD 250-763-3212
As a former police officer, you have to think that Coleman knew what a difficult position his comments will place police officers in, but we guess anyone can be buried under the bus if it means getting a leg up on the race to become the next Liberal leader. The fact is the new tougher drinking laws have been under fire from the start. They were introduced with little or no advance warning, and coming on the heels of the HST being implemented, were
an unfair double-whammy imposed on restaurants and bars. The province drew up the tough rules relating to a .05 impairment reading, and the police have been following those new rules through enforcement. For Coleman the message is simple: Don’t blame the cops. Your government introduced this lifestyle changing measure, so either have the conviction to stick by it or remove it from the books and rethink your drinking and driving safety strategy.

Then there was with the premier as his vote is worth speculation about who would succeed more than those of his MLAs at the him. And, when the realization kicked caucus table.
But government initiatives are just that. Need proof? Find a Liberal MLA who initially supported the HST. Like most, that one was a group effort. In office Campbell seemed to mellow politically over the years, going from a right-wing, neo-conservative who asked the majority to decide how to deal with a minority—remember the ill-fated mail-in referendum on dealing with Native treaties, to the Canadian premier who pushed his fellow premiers hardest to accept Native rights (the Kelowna Accord.) He went from being the darling of the business community who tore up negotiated labour contracts to the premier who introduced North America’s
first carbon tax, let WorkSafe B.C. introduce workplace smoking bans (after the former NDP government’s effort was turfed by the Supreme Court of Canada) and gave us big tax breaks with one hand while introducing the much-maligned Harmonized Sales Tax with the other. He was famously busted in Hawaii for drinking and driving only to institute tough new drunk-driving rules in B.C. years later. Those rules lower the alcohol tolerance level to .05, letting police act as roadside judges and impound vehicles of drinking drivers while bars and restaurants say it is hurting their business. Like any politician who serves multiple terms in office, Campbell
can be viewed from several points of view. Some good. Some bad. His government, like the previous NDP government, oversaw boom times and busts, so there is room to cheer and boo. But he never had the common touch of Alberta’s Ralph Klein or the popular appeal of Manitoba’s Gary Doer and so, polarized opinion. In politics, it’s “what have you done for me lately,” and for Campbell, the HST was his last big blunder. History may be kinder to him than the current political climate but it’s ironic that the man who gave B.C. it’s two biggest tax breaks is now being forced out over the introduction of a tax. Go figure. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

W SCHOOLING
Finns provided good model for kindergarten To the editor: Shelley Nicholl reports: “The one concern about students being tired at school is still a factor for some children.” (Kindergarten expansion drawing raves, Nov. 7 Capital News). According to worldrenowned parenting author Steve Biddulph (www. stevebiddulph.com) fullday kindergarten for fiveyear-olds is too long, and any younger is a big mistake developmentally. It would be interesting to conduct a survey of all children in School District 23 currently enrolled in full-day kindergarten, asking: 1. Would you rather go to kindergarten: a) for a full day (like you do now) b) go only in the morning, or c) go only in the afternoon? 2. Why? I’m wondering what percentage of children choosing only morning or afternoon would say their reason is full-day kinder-
garten is too tiring? If we followed the Finland model, children would have access to free, full-day daycare (up to age five), full-day kindergarten (age six), and wouldn’t begin Grade 1 until age seven. Carl Honoré (www. carlhonore.com) writes in Under Pressure: Putting the Child Back in Childhood (2009): “Their (Finnish children) early childhood is spent at home or in nursery programs where play is king. When they finally do reach school, they enjoy short days, long vacations and plenty of music, art and sports.” (p. 122) “Apart from final exams at the end of high school, Finnish kids face no standardized tests. Teachers use quizzes, and individual schools use tests to track their pupils’ progress, but the idea of cramming for SATs is as alien to Finland as a heat wave in winter. This presents a delicious irony—
the nation that puts the least stress on competition and testing, that shows the least appetite for cram schools and private tutoring, routinely tops the world in PISA’s (Programme for International Student Assessment) competitive exams.” (p. 123). Honoré is interviewed in the 2009 CTV documentary: Lost Adventures ofChildhood(www.ctv.ca/ servlet/ArticleNews/corp/ CTVShows/20090304/ ctv20090304/). Distribution Access (www.distributionaccess) in New Westminster distributes the documentary. It’s available on DVD with public performance rights, or for home use. At the very least, all provincial governments should be investigating the Finland model and creating full day senior kindergarten classes for those six-year-olds who would benefit. David Buckna, Kelowna
W DIVERGENT PHILOSOPHY
Hunting, conserving nature can’t co-exist To the editor: I am responding to Judie Steeves article in the Nov 5 Capital News: COs on the Hunt for Poachers. She is debating the ethics of hunters, writing: “The poacher…slinks off after taking the shot… while the ethical hunter admits his mistake and contacts the CO service immediately.” How can you apply ethics, morals and principles to people with guns who sneak around in nature’s beautiful habitat to hunt and kill unsuspecting wildlife who are foraging and looking after their young for survival? Hunters kill for “sport,” a macho power
controlling guy thing, not for protection or survival. If animals had guns too, maybe then it would be sporting. Research the mission statement of wildlife organizations to be sure that they do in fact protect wildlife. The Canadian Wildlife Federation is a hunting organization and Ducks Unlimited is a U.S.-founded hunting organization that conserves some wetlands to insure they have a supply of ducks for them to shoot and kill. Their fundraisers include shooting and fishing tournaments, raffles for guns, hunting trips and even two Labrador re-
trievers (one yellow and one black). The Nature Conservancy goal is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. It appears that Judie Steeves realizes there is more of a market in people who want to protect and enjoy nature rather than upsetting Capital News readers with her columns about hunting and killing animals, but she is still loyal to her hunting buddies.

The whistle blowing signalled the official start of the race of another wave of next generation to preordained fates with machine gun bullets under a sky turning black in the middle of day. In the aftermath, death’s ashen face laid still in quieting thunder retreating to the horizon reminding young officers battles should not be guessing games for thousands of wet eyes anxious and tired from reading death notices searching night sky for the rationale to why.
Yet it is normal to see Generals breaking stride when late for photographs or twelve year scotch muttering “Such a damn nuisance, this silly war” as the day’s list of lost youth is late to be posted.

As of right now, what happened is a big building has been parked right in the middle of the park. The city has its reasons and you just have to hear them for yourself to believe it.

Recall petition resources for three ridings to now focus on one MLA from A1 But Dan Thorburn of BCRecalls.org, a local Internet site set up to act as a clearing house for recall information, said while Fight HST’s “gameshow” approach to attracting volunteer canvassers cannot guarantee only the top three ridings in terms of committed volunteer canvassers will participate first. “It is solely a local decision,” said Thorburn, who oversaw the collection of more than 26,000
signatures on petitions in Kelowna-Mission, Kelowna-Lake Country and Westside-Kelowna for Fight HST during this summer’s drive to force the HST vote. That vote is slated for next September and Premier Gordon Campbell has repeatedly said he would accept a simple majority decision. Thorburn, who is not an official proponent or would-be canvasser because he plans to run for the B.C. Refederation Party in any by-election
forced through recall here, is advising the proponents in the three Central Okanagan ridings. He said no matter what happens elsewhere in the province there will be a recall campaign in Kelowna-Mission. Calling the decision to pool local canvasser resources and hold off until the spring a “strategic” move, Neufeld said the reason for pooling was because only one campaign will take place here at a time so canvassers from the entire area could be
used on a single riding. and all three are very close together. The reason for the delay is because of the likelihood of adverse winter weather and the fact many older local residents—the type most likely to sign recall petitions—travel south for the winter. He said Kelowna-Mission was chosen because it is the most central of the three, has the largest population and has so far attracted the most volunteer canvassers at 53. The total when all three
ridings are combined is currently 138, which puts it eighth on Fight HST’s list of the 18 ridings where it wants to see recall campaigns take place. The top three, with one week to go in Fight HST’s “MLA Survivor Recall—Vote Them Off The Island” bid to attract volunteer canvassers, are Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, represented by Don McRae; Kamloops North, represented by Terry Lake; and Oak Bay-Gordon Head in the Victoria area, represented by B.C. minister of

Two councils at odds on recycling Free from A1 so those who continually use the bins incorrectly can be educated or even penalized. It’s something Central Okanagan Regional District staff say should ultimately reduce the cost to homeowners, not to mention the waste headed to the landfill. Right now, taxpayers are footing a $70,000 to $80,000 annual bill for sorting garbage out of recyclables and several hundred thousand dollars per year to clean up contaminated yard waste. Those costs could evaporate as the system becomes more efficient. But, West Kelowna’s decision to back out so late in the game throws a wrench in the works, explained Peter Rotheisler, regional waste reduction supervisor. “West Kelowna’s garbage will still be picked up, and the driver will still be able to view the contents,” explained Rotheisler. “But (their decision to not take part) does impede us. It prevents us from doing targeted education, because we don’t know who the offenders are and it’s not easy to enforce the bylaw that way.” By the estimates of Coun. James, that makes room for contamination and the costs associated with that are something that should be scrutinized closely. “I know it’s a regional landfill…but we run it and we own it. We should make them do it,” he said, pointing out there should be an additional fee charged to West Kelowna residents if contaminated loads end up at the landfill. “We should take a hard stand here.” Coun. Robert Hobson took a softer view on West Kelowna’s decision. “I’m not writing off West Kelowna participation,” he said. Hobson feels any extra costs incurred by West Kelowna’s decision to not participate should be passed on so as to end the “free ride effect.”

gave canvassers 90 days to collect at least 10 per cent. Both Neufeld and Thorburn said while the numbers of committed canvassers are lower here than expected, any success elsewhere would likely be a huge boost for local recall efforts. “Any success would be invaluable once people see (recall) as an effective tool,” said Neufeld.

The installation of 30 new bus shelters is underway along some of Kelowna’s major transportation corridors. The new shelters and loading areas protect riders from the elements while providing bench seating and interior solar powered LED lighting. Mobility access has been enhanced at many of the upgraded stops to ensure the safety and comfort of all users inside the shelters and on the loading platforms. “Transit use in the Central Okanagan grows every year and as part of efforts to create transportation alternatives, we continue to expand the service offerings to riders,” said Mike Kittmer, active transportation coordinator for the City of Kel-

Kelowna Regional Transit System. Thirty of those will be in the city of Kelowna. The contract to supply the new bus shelters was awarded to Enseicom Inc. of Quebec in May 2010. The Kelowna Regional Transit System operates in partnership with the Regional District of Central Okanagan, District of West Kelowna, District of Lake Country, Peachland and the Westbank First Nation. New shelter locations were prioritized by the regional partners based on proximity to commercial areas, residential areas with higher population densities and proximity to health services and major employers. This ensures areas with the greatest transit use benefit most from the upgrades.

Smokers who suffer from depression find it hard to quit
I
f you suffer from depression, odds are good that you have also smoked at some point in your life. Unfortunately, those with depression also seem to have a much harder time kicking the habit than smokers who are not depressed. It has long been known there is some relationship between depression and smoking, however a U.S. survey has now shown the two are more closely linked than we knew. The survey conducted by the U.S. Centre for Disease Control’s National Center for Health Statistics showed a strong relationship between smoking and depression. In a national health and nutrition survey called Depression and Smoking in the U.S. Household Population Aged 20 and Over, 20052008, smoking rates were significantly elevated in every age and gender group. For example, 49 per cent of depressed men aged 20 to 39 smoked compared with 34 per cent of non-depressed men in that age range. Among women in that age category, 50 per cent of those with depression smoked compared with only 21 per cent of those
HEALING MINDS
Paul Latimer without depression. More than 60 per cent of adults with depression had smoked at some point in life whereas in those without depression only 43 per cent of those aged 20 to 39 had ever smoked and 53 per cent of those aged 55 and over. Heavy smoking is also more common among depressed adults with 28 per cent smoking more than a pack a day—almost twice the rate of adult smokers without depression. Not only are depressed people more likely to smoke and more likely to smoke a lot, but they also seem to have a harder time quitting. In the 20-39 age group of depressed people who had ever smoked, 17 percent had quit compared to 36 per cent of non-depressed people in the same age group. Among adults over age 55 who had ever smoked, 57 per cent of those with depression had quit smoking compared with 75 per cent of those without depression.
This indicates that individuals with depression who also smoke are likely to need a lot of help quitting. If you are a smoker and also experience depression, don’t be afraid to ask your doctor for help. You will probably have an easier time butting out if you adequately treat your depression and also work on a smoking cessation program with encouragement from someone you trust. The use of bupropion/ Wellbutin/Zyban makes sense in this situation. This medication is both an effective antidepressant and an effective smoking cessation agent. In B.C., this medica-
tion is covered by Pharmacare only if it is prescribed for depression. This requires a Spe-
cial Authority form to be completed by the prescribing doctor. If it is prescribed for smoking ces-
sation alone it is not covered. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president

W ANTIFREEZE POISONING
A potential hazard that is poison for our pets T ‘‘
he winter is coming and many people are getting ready for it, including winterizing their car with an antifreeze solution. This week, I would like to speak about antifreeze and its potential hazards to our pets. Antifreeze is also known as ethylene glycol. It is a syrupy liquid that is usually brightly coloured, neon green or pink. Antifreeze is odorless and it is sweet, which makes it attractive for pets. Antifreeze is extremely dangerous to both humans and animals. Cats are about four times more sensitive to the poison as dogs. The intoxication has two phases. About 30 minutes after consum-

Moshe Oz ing the antifreeze the pet will start show symptoms that will look like it has been drinking alcohol— staggering, confusion and disorientation, excessive thirst and urination, vomiting and listlessness. These symptoms last about six hours and then it will look like the pet is recovering and the symptoms are subsiding. Antifreeze affects mainly the kidneys but also the liver because these are the organs responsible for metaboliz-
ing the poison. Phase two of the intoxication is a result of the permanent failure of the kidneys and liver and then the pet will show inability to produce urine and terminal neurological symptoms such as seizures, coma and eventually death. This usually happens 12 to 24 hours after ingestion in cats, and 36 to 72 hours post ingestion in dogs. If you suspect that your pet might have ingested ethylene glycol seek veterinary attention immediately. I can’t stress enough how important it is to treat the pet early, before permanent damage will occur. This is not a “wait and see� condition. Unfortu-

nately waiting in this case could cost you your pet’s life. When you take your pet to the vet, blood and urine tests are carried out to detect any of the typical changes caused by antifreeze intoxication. The vet will induce vomiting, perform stomach pumping and probably feed the pet with active charcoal to try to decrease further absorption
of the poison. The vet will also establish intravenous fluids to increase urine production and excrete as much ethylene glycol as possible. The treatment of choice is using the poison antidote. Dogs and cats can only be cured when the poisoning is detected before extensive kidney damage has occurred, hence it so important to rush the pet to the vet’s office. Prevention is the key. Keep your antifreeze on a high shelf in a place not accessible by your pet. Do routine vehicle maintenance and keep an eye out for evidence of leaks (greenish pools underneath your car). In case of spilling that might

happen when you refill your vehicle’s reservoir, immediately clean up the spills. Switching to a propylene-glycol-based antifreeze, a safer, less toxic, and not sweet chemical is a good alternative to ethylene glycol. This is one step that many pet owners take to protect their pets from accidental antifreeze poisoning. I hope this winter will be nice, warm and safe for all of the pets and pet lovers out there.

Polio survivors share their stories polio is an incurable but preventable disease. When contracted it can cause nerve damage, paralysis and even death. The World Health Organization predicts that if polio is not totally eradicated, more than 10 million children will be paralyzed over the next 40 years. While others were having fun at Halloween parties on Saturday, Oct. 30, two polio survivors captivated a Kelowna audience about the reality of living with polio. Rotarians Ramesh Ferris and Karen Naumann have very different but intriguing stories to tell. Ferris, a 30-year old Whitehorse resident, was born in India. He contracted polio nearly 25 years after the Salk vaccine was developed in 1955 and the Sabin vaccine in 1962, simply because his mother did not have access to polio drops. She gave him up for adoption at 18 months, hoping that this could offer him a better life. In spite of resistance from Canadian authorities to allow him entry due to his suspected condition, Ferris was finally adopted by Anglican Bishop Ron and Jan Ferris in 1982. They had already adopted five other children. This changed Ferris’ destiny. His adoptive parents, and the fact that he
CONTRIBUTED
ROTARY member Albert Baldeo (left) with polio survivor and fellow Rotarian Ramesh Ferris. was living in Canada, gave him access to the medical care he required. He came to walk with the assistance of operations and braces for the first time when he was three and a half years old. Several operations followed, and he has managed to rise above the physical setback to enjoy a full and active life, including an active leadership role during his student years. In 2002, Ferris returned to India to meet his birth mother. The intention was for a quick visit and return to life in Canada, to continue his career as a social worker. His birth mother still lives in the same single room with his grandmother, sharing a single mattress. She earns little more than a dollar a day. The picture that made Ferris realize it was his
turn to make a difference was seeing the children who are “doomed to dirt.� “I saw one guy, a little younger than me, living with the effects of polio, with sandals tied to his hands and pieces of car tire tied under his knees, literally crawling through the dirt. I thought: That could have been me,� he recalled. “Only then did I realize what my mother’s decision had meant for my life. I needed to do something.� The visit to India changed his life. Thinking of his heroes Terry Fox and Rick Hansen, Ferris finally knew what he wanted to do. In April 2008, he hand-cycled more than 7,000 kilometres across Canada and raised more than $300,000 towards the campaign championed by Rotary International to eradicate polio.
His journey can be followed in his book Better than a cure—One Man’s Journey to Free the World of Polio. Proceeds from the book will benefit the Rotary Polio Plus Campaign. Kelowna resident Karen Naumann was born in Saskatchewan. She contracted polio in 1953 at the age of 18 months. She spent the next two months hospitalized in Saskatoon. She clearly remembers how her legs were wrapped up in very hot cloths and put into hot pools of water. Doctors said she would never walk when she returned home after two months. Her mom would not accept this and walked with the little girl whenever she could. “My mom never gave up on me. The support of my family made the difference in my life.� She had nine operations on her legs before the age of 16. “Then I put polio behind me. It was a disease that I was ashamed of. I was always embarrassed to say that I had polio. “If somebody asked me what was wrong with my leg, I would say a horse had kicked me,� she said. “It was only when I joined Rotary six years ago and found out about their commitment to end polio, that I realized I had to ‘come out of the closet’ and help.�

Win streak boosts Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
KEVIN PARNELL/CAPITAL NEWS
KELOWNA ROCKETS captain Tyson Barrie models the commemorative
Remembrance Day jersey which all team members will wear for Wednesday’s game against Edmonton. The jerseys will be auctioned off with proceeds going to the Royal Canadian Legion.
What may have felt more like pulling teeth the first six weeks of the season is suddenly a pleasure for captain Tyson Barrie and his Kelowna Rockets. A four-game winning streak has made coming to the rink on a daily basis considerably more palatable for the Western Hockey League club. “It’s weird how one week can change so many things,” said Barrie, whose club pushed its record from 4-10 to 8-10 in a five-day span. “It feels a lot different around the rink, it’s enjoyable for the guys. Things were pretty tough there for a while, there wasn’t much joking around. It’s good to see everybody loosening up and playing with some confidence.” Still, Barrie cautioned there is a long way to go, and the team’s recent prosperity won’t matter unless the Rockets continue to improve and build on that success. And you’ll get no argument from head coach Ryan Huska as the Rockets look to make it five in a row Wednesday
night when they host the Edmonton Oil Kings “I don’t think we’re over the hump yet,” Huska said. “Our next game has to be our best and we have to continue to take steps forward. The guys have a challenge ahead of themselves to keep this going and continue to play well.” The primary reason for the recent turnaround is the Rockets’ newfound touch around the net— 27 goals in the last four games—thanks in large part to the power play which went an eye-popping 11-for-20 during the streak. Kelowna jumped from 21st to 10th overall in power play efficiency in just one week. Huska credits Tyson Barrie for much of the Rockets success with the extra man. “Teams are having a difficult time deciding whether to pressure Tyson or to wait him out…because he can hurt both ways, whether he shoots or passes,” said Rockets coach Ryan Huska. “Either way, Tyson has been making good decisions and it’s paying off. It’s also a matter of us exe-
Mitchell Callahan cuting much better as a team than we have been.”
CALLAHAN PLAYER OF WEEK
Twelve points in a four-game span by Mitchell Callahan sparked the Rockets to their most productive stretch of hockey this season. The outburst also earned the 19-year-old Californian the WHL player of the week honours. Callahan scored five goals and added seven assists as the Rockets rang up successive wins last week over division rivals Prince George, Kamloops, Vancouver and Chilliwack. “It’s a good honour,” Callahan said of the award. “There has been a lot of great names that have won that award. It’s
kind of special to win it but at the same time I had a lot of help from my teamates.” The streak included back-to-back four point nights for the 5-foot-11 175 pound forward who leads the Rockets in scoring this season with 10 goals and 22 points. “With the exception of the first four games Mitchell has been our best player, night in, night out,” said Rockets coach Ryan Huska. “Mitchell plays with no fear, he goes to the dirty areas, and he’s getting rewarded for it.”

Some great individual effort helped the Westside Warriors to a win over Coquitlam on the weekend. But that same individual play led to a loss in Merritt as the Warriors split a pair of B.C.

North Okanagan Knights knocked off the Chiefs 5-3. The Knights opened up a 5-1 by the fiveminute mark of the third, before the Chiefs made the score respectable with two late goals. Dane Rupert, Colten DeFrias and Kyle Clerke scored for Kelowna. Luke Richardson leads the Chiefs in scoring with 14 goal and 10 assists, while Landon Andrusiak has nine goals and 22 points.

Both teams are below the Warriors in the BCHL Interior Conference standings. “It’s important for us to play well,” said Yopyk. “Those are tough places to play.

Owls to defend B.C. title The Kelowna Owls aren’t the favourites. But as the defending champs with experience on their side, coach Arnar Bernhardsson likes his team’s chances to at least reach the podium at the B.C. girls AAA field hockey championship this week in Victoria. “For us, I think top four or better is very realistic,” said Berhardsson, whose Owls’ are ranked No. 6 in the province. “As long as the girls play hard and leave everything on the field, then
t
that gives us a chance. If we give it everything we have, and that’s still not good enough, then I’ll have no complaints.” The Owls open play Wednesday at provincials with games against No. 14 Churchill and 11th ranked Mt. Douglas. KSS will meet No. 3 Argyle Thursday in the final game of pool play. The championship final is set for Friday. With nine players returning from last year’s gold medal-winning team, the Owls do have experi-
ence weighing in their favour. At the same time, as the 2009 champs, KSS might as well have targets on their backs. It’s how well the Owls deal with the pressure and expectations that could determine their fate, according to Bernhardsson. “Other teams consider a victory or a tie against us a big deal because of what we achieved last year, and there’s more pressure on us than in the past,” he said. “Last year we played
as a true team and that was the difference. This is about team play now and people doing their part for the betterment of the team, not for themselves. We’ve talked about that, the girls understand that, and they’re motivated. “It’s a focused group with one goal in mind,” Bernhardsson added. “We’re trying to bring a banner home.” Carson Graham is ranked No. 1, followed by South Delta, Argyle, Handsworth, West Vancouver and KSS.

BOUCHERIE VS SALMON ARM
A playoff spot wasn’t to be for the Mt. Boucherie Bears. In a mustwin situation, the Bears dropped a 37-27 decision to Salmon Arm Friday at the Apple Bowl. The Bears defense was solid in the second half with four fumble recoveries and two interceptions, but the offense couldn’t convert on the opportunities. Boucherie threw five interceptions in the game and the offense also gave up a major. The Bears—already hurting from injuries— lost starting guard Alex VanNieuwkerk early in the game.

Heat teams take home openers UBCO Okanagan didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint the Heat faithful as both the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball squads swept their opponents in their BCCAA home openers over the weekend. The two-time defending CCAA national champion women opened on Friday night with a three-set win (25-20, 2514, 26-24) over the Capilano Blues. Myrte SchĂśn lead the
way with 12 kills, with Alex Basso and Kendra Wayling adding nine kills each, and Jill Festival and Kaylan Gouldsborough with six kills each. On defense Kailin Jones and Basso had 11 digs each, while Festival, Gouldsborough and Caitlin Nyhus all had two blocks apiece. Prior to the match, the Heat raised their B.C. and CCAA championship banners to the rafters.
Head coach Steve Manuel was pleased with the way his team responded to the external pressure surrounding the Heat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had been hyping the home opener for several months, in addition to a meet and greet with about 50 former, current and future UBCO volleyball parents,â&#x20AC;? said Manuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last but not least, we were raising our provincial and national championship banners to the
roof, and nobody wanted to be doing that after a loss.â&#x20AC;? On Saturday, the Heat pushed their unbeaten record to 4-0 with a 3-0 win (25-19, 25-11, 25-11) over the Douglas Royals. Rookie Chandler Proch started for the first time and earned player of the match. I think we were very consistent and kept our

Heat swept at Capilano Both UBC Okanagan teams came up empty against Capilano on the opening weekend of the BCCAA basketball regular season. In men’s action, the Blues took down the No. 14 ranked Heat 72-69 on Friday night in North Vancouver. The Heat rebounded from a 12-point thirdquarter deficit to tie the game late, but Blues’ guard Connor Mahannah nailed a three-pointer for the decisive margin in the dying seconds. Alex Roth led the Heat with 14 points and 11 rebounds, Dave Mackay added 12 points and Micah Cockrill chipped in 10 points. Steve Morrison was his usual bullish self in the paint finishing the game with nine rebounds, six on offense. On Saturday, another slow start cost the Heat in a 82-75 loss to Capilano. UBCO trailed by 14 at the half and never quite recovered. Iain Con, who brought the Heat bench to its feet with a four-point play in the final quarter, led UBCO with 16 points. Dan Briscoe added 14 points while Alex Roth had 10 points and seven assists. “We haven’t played

The No. 4-ranked Capilano women’s took care of the Heat Friday with a coinvincing 96-73 win. UBCO had trouble containing NCAA Div. 1 transfer Alexandra Polischuck who paced the Blues with 28 points. Jenna Kantz was solid for the Heat with 20 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Roz Huber grabbed 17 rebounds and added 12 points, while Ashley Briker had 14 points. On Saturday, Polischuck had 34 points and nine assists in a 10073 Cap win. Kantz again led UBCO with 23 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, while Huber was again a force with 21
composure,” said Proch, a KSS grad. “We played the game on our side rather than letting it happen on theirs. We always had control, we were disciplined on our defense and our serves were very good.” Kaylan Gouldsborough and Myrte Schön lead the offense with 10 kills apiece, while Emi-
ly Carroll and Alex Basso each chipped in six kills. On defense, Schön had eight digs while Lenai Schmidt had seven. The Heat continues its home stand this weekend as they host the College of the Rockies Friday at 6 p.m., then again on Saturday afternoon at 1.

Despite the defeats to the powerful Blues, head coach Heather Semeniuk said her team has taken some strides since a 38-point loss to Capilano in the preseason. “I am really pleased with the team’s improvement since our last game against the Blues,” she said. “The team came out
and played hard in a very physical game. Our execution on offense was much better and scoring 73 and 72 points in these two games was huge. “Unfortunately, we were not effective in defending Capilano’s key players.” UBCO will visit Kwantlen Friday and Saturday.

a team like Capilano yet this season,” said Heat coach Darren Semeniuk. “They’re quick, athletic, and they pressure the ball well.” As for the Heat’s defensive effort against Cap, Semeniuk expected more. “In the halfcourt, we need individual guys to step up and think contain.” This weekend, the Heat will be in Surrey for two games with Kwantlen.

road, opening weekend, the Heat men responded with back-to-back victories on their home court to push their record to 3-1. On Friday, UBCO outlasted Capilano in four sets (20-25, 25-18, 25-19, 25-15). After dropping the first set, the Heat rebounded to win the next three led by the clutch play of Greg Niemantsverdriet and Chris Howe. “I was happy with how we bounced back and how we handled pressure at home instead of just collapsing,” said Howe. “In the future our energy levels need to be better managed.”
The Blues are coached this season by former UBCO player, Scott Weninger. On Saturday, the Heat was pushed again by Douglas before UBCO emerged with another 3-1 win (25-20, 19-25, 27-25, 25-19). Mark Broome was named the Heat’s player of the match, with Nate Speijer, Preston Tucker, Howe and Niemantsverdriet providing a number of key plays. The Heat returns to action Friday, 7:45 p.m. at home to College of the Rockies. Saturday’s match goes at 2:45 p.m.

UBC presents an evening with an award winning author The public is invited to an evening with one of B.C.’s most beloved writers, George Bowering, on Thursday, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m. at The Streaming Cafe, 596 Leon Ave. in Kelowna. The evening is part of the Visiting Author Series, presented by UBC’s Department of Creative Studies. Bowering was born and brought up in the Okanagan Valley and has lived “here, there and everywhere,” but currently resides in Vancouver. He is the author of more than 90 books, having won the Governor General’s award for both fiction and poetry. His most well-known works are Ker-
risdale Elegies and Burning Water, a novel about George Vancouver. Bowering was Canada’s first Parliamentary Poet Laureate from 2002 to 2004. His most recent fiction is the short story collection The Box (New Star Books, 2009) and the poetry collection My Darling Nellie Grey (Talonbooks, 2010).

Yard waste pickup to end for winter The regional waste management department has a warning for Central Okanagan residents—fall yard waste curbside pickup service ends Nov. 30. That’s the last day for
the curbside yard waste pickup program for this year. So gather your leaves, grass clippings, needles, prunings and branches, put them into your yard
waste cart with the green lid closed, and wheel it out for your regularly scheduled pickup. And remember, yard waste only. No plastic bags, rocks, sod or flower pots.
alling all local area residents: Help welcome the world’s children to the International Winter Games. In less than three months, during the last week of January, Kelowna will roll out the welcome mat to participants of the 2011 International Children’s Winter Games (ICWG). More than 450 boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 15 are expected to come to our city to take part in an international sporting experience with the goal of sharing friendship and solidarity. When the athletes arrive, many from countries as far away as Australia and Switzerland and some from cities as close as Cleveland and Halifax, they will be greeted by local host families who will add to the richness of their cultural experience in Canada. The athletes, their coaches and other members of their delegations will be billeted by Kelowna residents who have chosen to take part in the spirit of the games. “We are really excited about showcasing the warmth and kindness of the people of Kelowna,” said ICWG organizing committee chair Heather Schneider. “Participating in the Games as a host family is a great opportunity for local residents to be a part of the International Children’s Winter Games and to positively influence the experience

of the young athletes who will attend these Games.” The organizing committee of the ICWG is putting out the call to local residents for host family volunteers. In order to be qualified as a billet host, all volunteers must complete a criminal record check and undergo a short screening process to ensure they will be able to provide appropriate accommodation for an athlete, coach or delegate. Depending on the size of their home and their capacity as a host family, some hosts will provide accommodation for several athletes. “People who get involved in the billeting of athletes have the ability to add a lot of value to the experience of
these athletes,” explained Schneider. “We are asking that host families provide comfortable sleeping quarters for athletes as well as breakfast for each of the five days they are at the Games. “In return, volunteers will get to take in a great deal of the Games and will be invited to special events such as the opening ceremony and volunteer appreciation events. “It is a win-win situation for the residents of this community and for the young athletes who are traveling far from home to have a comfortable and safe experience in Canada.” Dozens of families and individuals have already committed to hosting athletes during the Games, which run from Jan. 26 to 31, 2011. Many more host families are needed and the time to get involved is now, said Schneider.
“We want to be able to plan a once in a lifetime experience for participants in the 2011 International Children’s Winter Games. The sooner we finalize the accommodation for athletes, the more time we will have to plan for the really fun parts of the Games. “As someone who has been involved in hosting international visitors I know what a great experience it is to welcome someone to your community and provide them with a home away from home. I am confident that the people of Kelowna will once again demonstrate their generosity and community spirit and help welcome the athletes of the 2011 ICWG.” Anyone interested in finding out more about billeting an athlete for the ICWG can go online to www.kelowna2011.com or email accommodation@kelowna2011.com.

Exciting new step for medical school Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna’s first 32

part of the largest medical school class ever in B.C. and the second largest in Canada. They will join 258 other medical school students from UBC in Vancouver, UNBC in Prince George and the University of Victoria, where medical training is offered by UBC. Jones, who participated in a demonstration Friday of the technology that will allow students here along with Vancouver, Prince George and Victoria to all participate in the same lectures and interact with the presenter at any of the four locations, said the system could also include students at regional centres such as Kamloops, Penticton, Vernon, Trail and Cranbrook. “This is a very exciting time for medical education in B.C.,” said Jones. The demonstration, in the new 180-seat lecture theatre at the UBCO clinical academic campus building at Kelowna General Hospital, showed how a presenter in Prince George could not only be

seen and heard by students here but also questioned directly in real time. In addition to the lecture theatre, there are three smaller rooms in the building also equipped with the technology. The soon-tobe completed new medical sciences building on the UBCO campus will also have the same capabilities. Dr. Jan McIntosh, chief of the medical staff at KGH said studies have shown doctors tend to stay in the communities where they train and the arrival of the medical school here bodes well for the future supply of doctors throughout the southern Interior. McIntosh said the high-tech lecture theatre will also be used by doctors and other medical staff at KGH. Local MLA Norm Letnick, who used to teach at Okanagan College, recalled the success he had when he set up a similar though smaller-scale system to help students take his classes via an Internet link.
ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS
A DEMONSTRATION of the video conferencing technology at the new 180-seat lecture theatre in the UBC Okanagan clinical academic campus building at KGH linked Kelowna with similar theatres in Victoria, Prince George and Vancouver last Friday morning. Letnick said it opened up education opportunities for some students, such as single parents and shift workers, who would not have been able to physically attend classes. The clinical academic campus building, which opened earlier this year and contains the large new KGH medical library, is part of a $270-million, multi-year expansion of KGH. That work includes the addition of a new sixstorey patient care tower, a new emergency depart-
ment and other services. In addition, a new $446-million cardiac care centre, the fifth heart transplant site in the province, will be built at KGH starting in 2012 and will include a new laboratory building for the hospital to be built across Pandosy Street from the new tower. The hospital in Vernon is also getting a new patient care tower as part of a $160-million expansion project there. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

W WORKPLACE
Recharge your work environment with a fresh attitude W
orking for a living is a necessary reality for most of us. The question is, do you enjoy what you do? Are you consciously aware of the activities that fill your work days? Which ones do you find most rewarding? Which ones are less satisfying? Perhaps you’re reading these questions thinking, “Is she kidding? It’s my job; it’s not supposed to be fun. Most of the time I’m just trying to get through to the end of the day so I can go home and relax with my partner/ kids/family/friends.” If that is you, then it may be time to stop and take a closer look at how you’re spending your work hours. Being unhappy in your work may stem from legitimate things like a boss who doesn’t seem to appreciate you, grumpy customers or even work mates who bicker and complain all day. Very few, if any, jobs offer us ideal working conditions, pay or bosses.
WORK LIFE
Laurie Mills What I’m suggesting is that each of us needs to take more responsibility for our own happiness at work. One of my favourite quotes is from Charles Swindoll, who pointed out how much attitude influences our success in every area of our lives. He said, “…life is 10 per cent of what happens to (us) and 90 per cent of how (we) react to it.” Life is indeed short and we spend a lot of it at work, so why wouldn’t we try to make the best of it? Depending on the balance of joy vs. misery in your work life, there are always options available. First, you can leave and find another position that might be better. I say “might be” for a reason. Until you sort
out exactly what you’re looking for in a good job or a great employer, you will likely keep bouncing from one frustrating work situation to the next. Your second choice is to stay where you are and blame others for your discontent. That may get you a steady paycheque now, but in the long run it will take its toll on your mental and physical wellbeing. You also risk being one of those co-workers that others avoid because your negative attitude drags them down. There is a third option that is more empowering. Change your attitude. There will always be things in the work environment that you can’t control, however, you can choose to positively transform your experience within it by changing your perspective. One way to make this R BE IST EM ART and V NO URE rch a AT FE rry M Ge

Coat drive helps keep kids warm West 49’s 8th annual national Coats for Kids campaign is underway. For the past seven years West 49 customers have donated coats for kids who don’t have adequate winter clothing. To date more than 60,000 kids have received winter coats as a result of this initiative. “Our customers are aware of the important role they play in helping us meet our target for coats. In partnering with local charitable organizations we have an excellent opportunity to be proactive in helping less fortunate families,” said Cindy Mielke, director of marketing for West 49, which has a store in Orchard Park Mall in Kelowna. “We surpassed our goal last year by almost 5,000 coats.” West 49 Coats for Kids campaign started Oct. 1 and runs through to Nov. 28. Coat collection barrels will be placed in each and every store. Everyone who brings in a clean, insulated gently used winter coat to any
West 49 (or other participating stores) across Canada will receive $25 off any winter jacket. Donated jackets in Kelowna will be given to the Kelowna Women’s and Children Shelter.
mental shift is to pause and consider what sorts of activities you actually enjoy doing in the course of your work day. You can start by noticing things like how you felt when a certain project or task was completed, or when your interactions with others felt particularly rewarding. Being more conscious about when you experience your greatest sense of meaning and satisfaction in your work can help you to better understand your own talents so that you use them more productively. When you do this exercise diligently something interesting begins to happen. You will start to feel more connected to your work, and to yourself. You may even find yourself looking forward to Monday mornings! There are many books written for employers to

W BENEFITS
Website not helping pay Canada’s debt to our war veterans
O
ne statistic I saw recently indicated that 60 per cent of Canada’s war veterans are not receiving the full range of benefits to which they are entitled. That suggests to me that there must be a lack of awareness and understanding of the full range of available benefits. Veterans Affairs Canada is our government department through which the benefits tailored specifically for our veterans are administered. It offers services and benefits to qualified veterans, Canadian Forces members, serving and discharged members of the RCMP, certain civil-
LEGAL EASE
Robert Smithson ians, and their families. Not having really ever given much thought to what these benefits might be, I paid a visit to the Veterans Affairs website (www.vac-acc.gc.ca). My initial reaction, upon accessing the home page and clicking on “Veterans Services,” is that there is a dizzying array of available benefits and services.
The permutations and combinations of eligibility seem, at first glance (and all my subsequent glances), to be both endless and highly impenetrable. Even as a practicing lawyer who wades through this sort of thing every day, being confronted with all of this information is intimidating (and I know that I cannot capture all the relevant information in this short column). I sensed, immediately, that the bewildering range of intertwined options may have something to do with the prospect that not all veterans are receiving the services and bene-

fits they have earned. If you doubt my reaction, try digging through the Veterans Affairs website yourself.
VETERANS ALLOWANCE
As of January 2010, changes to the War Veterans Allowance Act provide low-income allied veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War with access to the War Veterans Allowance and associated assistance and health benefits. The War Veterans Allowance is a form of financial assistance that ensures eligible clients are provided with a regular monthly income to meet basic needs.

Submit your favorite holiday recipe by Nov. 15, 2010 and it may be included in our Holiday Recipe Pages n that will publish betwee Nov. 21 and Dec. 12.
To qualify for these benefits, low-income Allied Veterans must have served with Allied forces in the Second World War or Korean War and have lived in Canada for at least 10 years or lived in Canada prior to enlisting and live in Canada now. Those who qualify may be eligible to receive the benefit of the War Veterans Allowance, Assistance Fund, Funeral and Burial Program, Treatment Benefits, Veterans Independence Program, and Long-Term Care. The Veterans Independence Program is a national home care program. The program was established in 1981 to help Veterans Affairs clients remain healthy and independent in their own homes or communities, complementing other federal, provincial or municipal programs. The Health Care Program is designed to enhance the quality of life of Veterans Affairs clients, to promote independence, and to assist in keeping clients at home and in their own communities by providing a continuum of care. Eligible veterans and other qualified clients are entitled to health care benefits under the Veterans Health Care Regulations including medical, surgical and dental care, prosthetic devices, home adaptations, supplementary benefits such as travel costs for examinations or treatment and other community health care services and benefits.
PENSION AWARDS
Veterans may also qualify for a disability pension if they have a
medical disability that is related to their service and they are a Canadian Forces veteran or a Merchant Navy veteran of the First or Second World War or the Korean War, or a current or former member of the Regular or Reserve Force, or a civilian who served in close support of the Armed Forces during wartime. Additional benefits may be awarded if a veteran is a disability pensioner who has a spouse/ common-law partner or other qualified dependants. The provision of military pensions arises out of the federal Pension Act. It appears to be the method of payment of these pensions for wounded and injured personnel which have recently stirred protests amongst veterans. Pension entitlement is based solely on the relationship between service and disability. It is awarded in fifths: from one-fifth (1/5) if service played only a minimal part in the cause or worsening of the disability, to five fifths (5/5) if the disability was incurred during, or was caused in its entirety by military service. Pension entitlement may also be awarded for a disability which is a consequence of a pensioned service-related disability. A veteran of the Canadian Forces or a Canadian merchant mariner who was a prisoner of war for 30 days or more, or who evaded capture or escaped from the enemy for 30 days or more may also be entitled to pension benefits. Compensation may also be paid to members of Allied Forces who
were domiciled in Canada or Newfoundland at the time of enlistment in the First or Second World War, and to some civilians who served in support of the Canadian Forces. The term “prisoner of war” now also includes those who were interned in a neutral country designated as enemy-occupied territory. Additional compensation for a spouse/common-law partner and dependants, similar to that awarded for a disability pension, is also available. Special pension allowances are also available. The Exceptional Incapacity Allowance is an additional monthly allowance provided to pensioners who are exceptionally incapacitated in whole or in part by their pensioned disability. The Attendance Allowance is available to pensioners who have a disability assessed at one per cent or more and/or who are receiving prisoner of war compensation (the pensioner must also be totally disabled and in need of attendance due to his or her physical or mental state). A Clothing Allowance is provided if a veteran has a disability (for which the veteran has received a disability benefit) that causes wear and tear on clothing or that requires the wearing of specially-made clothing. The Pension Act also provides for Surviving Dependant Benefits for a surviving spouse or common-law partner. When a disability pensioner dies, the survivor may receive, temporarily, the same See Smithson B5

OTHER PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
According to the Veterans Affairs website, eligibility for the War Veterans Allowance or pension benefits serves as a gateway to other programs and services. These include the Veterans Affairs Health Care Program (providing veterans and other eligible clients with health care benefits including treatment benefits) and the Veterans Independence Program and other personalized health care services such as residential care, advice and information, needs assessment, advocacy, and referrals. It seems to me that,
as a society, one way in which we pay our debt to our fighting men and women is by ensuring they are well taken care of when their job is done. Making certain that they’re aware of the range of available benefits is only the first step towards payment of that debt. If my own visit to the bewildering Veterans Affairs website is any indication, that debt is presently going unpaid. Robert Smithson is a labour and employment lawyer.

W ENTREPRENEURS
A little charisma can work wonders in the business world
I
required a learning curve to inform myself of the significance of entrepreneurial leadership. I have said previously that I have grown over the past four years, further entrenched in the theory of the magical blend of both entrepreneurial and leadership principles with a sprinkling of charisma for flavour. Let me begin my sharing with you this week with a tone-setting phrase captured from one of the American historical fathers: “If our actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, my friends, you are a leader.” Charismatic entrepreneurial leadership can make a difference in assembling a team that leads your venture to the success goal line or stalls you at mid-field. The quality that separates leadership is one’s approach to people. Let me offer an illustration to point this out: A young woman dined with
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young two noted executives on successive nights. When asked about her impression of the rival men, she said, “When I left the dining room after sitting next to Mr. Jones, I thought he was the cleverest man in British Columbia. But, after sitting next to Mr. Brown, the next evening, I thought I was the cleverest woman in British Columbia.” What distinguished Jones from Brown was charisma. Brown possessed a personal charm sorely lacking in the leadership style of his economic rival. His personal appeal attracted both friends and gave him a leading edge in the design, creation and deliverance of his entrepreneurial dreams. Of all leadership at-
tributes, it seems charisma is perhaps the least understood. At first glance, charisma appears to be an invisible energy or magnetism, But in reality, I have discovered that charisma is both explainable and learnable and is applicable to life. And I do accept readily that charisma helps to boost a leader’s influence in whatever challenges they may be confronted with. Let’s look at a few qualities of a charismatic entrepreneurial leader to give you a feel for my focus relative to an entrepreneurship success formula. Charisma, is often defined, first of all, as “ the ability to inspire enthusiasm, interest or affection in others by means of personal charm or influence.” Leaders who have this special ability share four things in common it appears—and I won’t get into them in great length but to touch on them for your identification. They love life. They’re re passionate about life in
general, they celebrate, not complain. They’re characterized by joy, warmth, energy and radiance in an infectious way. We are hardwired to take on the energy of those around us. Leaders who love life have charisma because they fill the room with a positive energy. They value the potential in people, thus expect the best from those around you in everything you engage in your life. Leaders offer hope to people. All of us, have an inner longing to improve our future and our fortunes . Charismatic entrepreneurial leaders connect with people by painting tomorrow brighter than today. The future is full of amazing opportunities and unrealized dreams. Reminds me of our friend Crystal Flaman, our Okanagan social entrepreneur inspiration, who never stops believing in people and their potential . They share of themselves. Leaders with charisma add value to people by sharing wisdom, resources and even special occasions. They embrace the

power of inclusion for learning, brainstorming or even simply talking over a coffee. Such leaders embrace the entrepreneurial team spirit and value togetherness thus, they are never lonely at the top. This item presents entrepreneurial charismatic leadership as that which is anchored in substance. The greatest satisfaction is found by serving. They find great personal pleasure celebrating the successes of those around them and the victories are a team triumph. Richard Branson, the 57-year-old British megamillionaire entrepreneur with 200 branded companies, 50,000 employees and $24 billion annual revenues, states that “great entrepreneurial leadership isn’t just about

Documenting Canadians takes filmmaker into Afghan danger Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
In a world where the a point-and-shoot digital is a staple and replacing it somewhat routine, the lengths documentarian Alison McLean goes to for the sake of her camera have an air of the surreal. From wrapping it in a raincoat to fend off Afghanistan’s heat to stressing over its whereabouts when she’s under fire, McLean was known to troops overseas as the woman who was all about her camera. “When you’re an indie, you’re camera is your life,” she explained, noting she’s hoping her $20,000plus setup will help relaunch her career. A former TSN camera woman, she had stepped away from the lens and was raising her now nineand-a-half-year-old and and 12-year-old, like any other mother, when a particularly interesting neighbour got her intrigued with stories of Canada’s female Second World War
veterans. She completed her first project, The Power and the Grace: WWII, connecting with WRENS, from the Women’s Royal Naval Service who had done everything from code breaking to nursing. Half of the women have already passed away, but in the five years of this project many of those still here began pushing her to take a look at what is happening in Afghanistan. The result is Outside the Wire, her new documentary which premiers on Remembrance Day, at 11 a.m., coast to coast on the W Network. McLean financed the entire project herself through the donations of non-profits, including groups like the Chinese Veteran’s Association, and with donations in-kind, like the protective gear she received from her sponsor ArmorWorks Enterprises. In town Monday for the opening of ArmorWorks’ new facility in Winfield, McLean

ALISON MACLEAN’S documentary will air on the
W Network this week as she highlights the contributions of Canada’s peacekeepers in Afghanistan. talked about the dangers she faced in tracking down both women within the Canadian military and, eventually, American women working with Medevac, to find out why they were in Afghanistan and what they believe the mission to be. “I’m an impartial
viewer. I didn’t go in with a very specific viewpoint. I was inspired and humbled and very grateful that we have what we have in Canada,” said McLean. During her stay, Canada lost two medics and the film shows one of the ramp ceremonies, interviewing a mother of a fall-
en soldiers. With two very young children herself, McLean admits she had family members who did not agree with her decision to do the project. Ultimately, they concluded her risk was no less a sacrifice than the men and women she would be covering. Making the journey this past June and July, McLean had only two months to turn the project around. She managed to capture a flavour of the current debate over whether it is wise for Canada to pull out of Afghanistan as the Conservative government has decided will occur. “I was documenting as they were wrapping up the operation,” she said, noting her film looks at the Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team (KPRT). “I wanted people to have more stories, more options, if they could see a different viewpoint because I’m not politicized,” she said. “…We’ve done amaz-
Ferry revisits Roxy Music on latest album BRYAN FERRY: OLYMPIA (VIRGIN)
Bryan Ferry was the founding member of the early ’70s art-rock band Roxy Music. He has since put out a dozen or so solo albums that have all fared fairly well, but it was his tenure behind the very influential Roxy Music that made him a star, especially in his native U.K. where he has enjoyed many hits. Last year, Ferry released and all-cover album, Dylanesque (that went top five in Britain), but Olympia is his first new album of original material in nearly a decade. The 65-year-old Ferry always releases suave and sophisticated pop rock with lots of ambiance and quiet panache, but old Roxy fans are excited about this new album for all the ex-Roxy members he has once again hooked up with. Brian Eno plays his ambient synth on Alphaville and Me Oh My, while guitarist Phil Manzanera and oboe player Andy McKay help out on the up-tempo Heartache By Num-

Bruce Mitchell bers and BF Bass (Ode To Olympia). Besides the ex-Roxy
players, Ferry also surrounds himself with other big star musicians like Flea of RHCP, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and Groove Armada on the electro rocker simply titled Strange. Some of these songs sound like soundscapes or sketchy collages as Ferry aims more for feel and elliptical romance rather
than hit singles. Note that as Ferry continuously surrounds himself with big stars the CD liner features the wonderful visage of Kate Moss—he once used Mick Jagger’s gal Jerri Hall on the Siren album cover. B-

ing work there, so it’s kind of sad for the soldiers because we’ve made such amazing inroads,” she said. With this film complete, one can imagine McLean might turn her lens on problems closer to home where the chance of a bullet coming through the seat she’s just been sitting in, as occurred during this round of filming, would no longer be a threat.
Instead, she has decided to crank up the heat. Her next film will document the incredible risk Afghan women are taking in training to be police officers in a place where women’s rights aren’t about documenting untold stories, but about a daily battle to live and exist without threat. Outside the Wire debuts this Thursday, Nov. 11, 11 a.m., on the W Network.

Nice stocking stuffer from Buble Local artists chosen for CD NEIL DIAMOND: DREAMS (COLUMBIA)
In his liner notes, Neil Diamond takes time to thank his recording label for giving him time off between original studio albums to record this 14track, all-cover CD. The album originally started out with just Diamond and his guitar in his personal studio but later on a full compliment of session players were hired to flesh out these well known songs. However, the studio help is very mellow and mixed way in the background on most of these low-key tunes, particularly Diamond’s mid-1960s hit I’m A Believer which he wrote for The Monkees that gets a moody ballad treatment here. There are no bad versions of other writers’ songs here, other than perhaps covering tunes that

MICHAEL BUBLE: HOLLYWOOD, THE DELUXE EP (REPRISE)
It is true, I have looked at the calendar and yes, indeed, Christmas does fall once again this Dec. 25, a month and a half or so from now. Big league artists usually like to have some sort of product on the shelves for this free spending, festive season and Michael Buble has responded with this Deluxe EP with
eight songs over 33 minutes centered around his new hit single Hollywood. That song was on his latest album so it is the other seven songs that are of interest here. There are four live recordings including a cool remake of Billy Vera’s only hit (which came upon a midnight eve when it was a featured song that took off after appearing on Family Ties with Michael J. Fox—a good pal of Buble’s—and if memory serves me well Vera’s hit was also live). EPs don’t exactly have to be a cohesive unit like a full length studio album and Buble’s EP is very eclectic. There is a nifty blue-eyed pop/soul take of Carole King’s Brill Bldg. gem Some Kind Of Wonderful, and a new heartfelt Richard Marx, David Foster ballad Best Of Me. Meanwhile, Buble’s last hit, Haven’t Met You Yet recorded live, and a finger popping version of The Eagles’ Heartache Tonight, are also included. The strangest moment here is a singalong version Me And Mrs. Jones where the audience lustily sings along with the paean to adultery. A nice little grab bag for fans of all sorts. B-

There is some blue eyed soul here with Bill Withers’ Ain’t No Sunshine and Gladys Knight’s Midnight Train To Georgia—both of which are not particularly soulful as that is hardly Diamond’s strength as an interpreter.

much of a dent in the charts where it didn’t even make the BillBoard top 100, which is a bit of a surprise. There are tons of fans of the TV series and this CD is loaded with lesser known indie rockers with a few new cuts from stars like The Smashing Pumpkins, Gorillaz and Goldfrapp. The focus song here is Obsession by Internet sensation Sky Ferreira (who will release her debut album in early 2011) but this song is a bit out of ordinary against most of the moody and atmospheric songs found on Vampire Diaries. Obsession is more of an edgy club styled dance rock song but again it failed to connect with a mass market. However, I am told that some of these songs are from season one and the rest are slated for episodes of the very popular second season and this soundtrack could easily take off in the
near future. For now this appears to be for fans of the TV show alone. C+

Ceremonies schedule for Remembrance Day KELOWNA
A parade of veterans will march the procession route again this Remembrance Day in Kelowna, from the Royal Canadian Legion branch on Bertram Street to the cenotaph at City Park. The parade will begin at 10 a.m., marching from Bertram down Doyle Avenue to Water Street, then along the waterfront to the park. The parade participants are slated to enter the cenotaph grounds at 10:45 a.m., followed by the service starting at 11 a.m. After the Remembrance Day ceremony, the veterans and guests will attend a reception at Parkinson Recreation Centre, which will be opened to the public at 1 p.m. Youth organizations that participate in the ceremony are invited afterwards for free refreshments at the Legion branch on Bertram. “The past couple of years the attendance has been very good for the ceremony,” said Ron LeRoy, poppy campaign chair for the Legion branch. “But the weather always plays a big factor. If it’s nice outside, then the more the merrier. We really appreciate the response we get.”

REMEMBRANCE DAY ceremonies always revive a flood of memories for surviving veterans of war.
The Royal Canadian Legion
The big change this year in West Kelowna is the venue. For the first time, the Remembrance Day Ceremony will be held at Royal LePage Place. The ceremony has been moved indoors to accommodate the needs of veterans, many of whom are in their 90s. “It is hard for our veterans to sit in the cold,” says organizer Joan Steeves. Posters have been put up and flyers handed out all over West Kelowna and Steeves is hoping people get the message about the change in venue.
We will Remember them
LAKE COUNTRY
The Remembrance Day ceremonies in Lake Country keep the same format as in past years. The ceremony officially starts at 10:45 a.m. at George Elliot Secondary School in Winfield. That decision to move indoors was made years ago to help older veterans cope with the cold temperatures. Organizers hope the public will arrive prior to the 10:45 a.m. march into the facility, so everyone can find their paces. After the ceremony, those who would like to can participate in a brief march to the cenotaph where some wreaths will be laid. See Schedule C4

The ceremony remains largely the same. Steeves recommends people arrive by 10:30 a.m. for the march into the building at 10:45 a.m. The service will have the same components as in previous years. Following the service, hot dogs and drinks will be served to the children, followed for the remainder of the afternoon by free sandwiches and entertainment at the service venue. Steeves hopes having the event indoors and at one place will make it easier on children and their parents. “Some of these changes are made to help out the little kids too. They won’t have to wear their bulky jackets and stand outside in the cold.” Helping to make the change go smoothly is the staff at Royal LePage Place, who have been very helpful and gracious about hosting the ceremony, added Steeves. The Legion will have free sandwiches for the public and entertainment all afternoon following the ceremony.

Sharing their wartime experiences It is difficult for people who have never been a member of the military or participated in a war to imagine what that experience is like. During the Second World War, boredom was surprisingly common, but so was being terrified for your life. Two WW II vets who live at Chatsworth Retirement Suites in Kelowna talk about their memories. Bobbie Sue-Menard CONTRIBUTOR
GEORGE ARTHUR
Radar mechanic sounded like the perfect job to George Arthur in December 1941, five days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. Arthur chose radar mechanic because it was a guaranteed ticket overseas, as at the time there were no radar stations in Canada. “I wanted to go,” he recalls. In the short days before deployment, Arthur, along with many from his training class,was offered the opportunity to become a radar operator. Arthur took the extra training and upon his new deployment found out he was to be stationed to the first radar outpost in Canada. “It was so new I had to set up my own bunk.” All these years later, that first station no longer exists in Nova Scotia, but Arthur is happy to say he was able to save six lives in a friendly plane that had got lost and was headed out into the Atlantic, rather than over the Bay of Fundy. “We had to plot all air-
craft. Our job was to pick up enemy aircraft that never did come. We were well classed as a theatre of war.” The massive map that dominated the radar station was the focus of operations as tiny model planes, representing actual aircraft in the air, were pushed about on the map to chart their positions. Arthur remains grateful to have chosen operations as the mechanics “just sat around waiting for something to break.” Boredom became a strong enemy when Arthur was transferred to Cape Bauld off the northern coast of Newfoundland. That northern post was so isolated the radar men were only allowed $10 per month of their pay, so they could not gamble it away. “You could only purchase smokes and chocolate bars at the canteen,” says Arthur. “There was nothing else. I loved the outdoors so I did OK. But the guys from the city had a real tough time of it.” After the war, Arthur went to the University of Saskatchewan and eventually farmed in Mani-

Along the way he picked up his electrician’s ticket and his radar training came in handy. “I soon learned to fix anything.” For years Arthur was active in the Royal Canadian Legion serving on executives. Now living at the Chatsworth, Arthur doesn’t mind recalling his life during the war, regardless of how removed that experience is from modern day life. “Just imagine throwing 49 guys on an island
for months at a time,” he says shaking his head. “Just imagine.”
JOHN GEATER
John Geater was a kid living in Merritt when he first tried to sign up for the Canadian Navy in 1938. Geater wasn’t accepted until 1940, when he joined as an ordinary seaman. “You have to know that at the time nobody thought for a minute there was going to be a war, we all thought Hitler was just horsing around. When we saw how serious Hitler
was we got the call,” says Geater, who would go on to serve in the military until 1968. During the Second World War, Geater went on to serve in the Battle of the North Atlantic on the destroyer Restigouche for the first year of his service. He was part of the team that brought the destroyer from Thunder Bay to its station guarding the west end of the English Channel against the German submarines. “You got over it being scary. You just acclima-
tized to the environment,” recalls Geater. He was transferred from the Restigouche to the frigate Cape Breton. During the Atlantic Charter Conference of Allied Forces leaders in 1941, Geater was on a ship that was part of the escort for the battle ship Prince of Wales. Geater drew the lucky straw to be on deck of the Prince of Wales during the church service for then British prime minister Winston Churchill and U.S. president Franklin Roosevelt.

“I got lucky. I was only a short distance from the President and Prime Minister. It was pleasant to be on the relatively smooth decks of the battleship rather than the jolting destroyer where I was normally stationed.” The Battle of the North Atlantic was notable for the ferocity of the fighting between the surface boats and the German submarines. Geater recalls his ship splitting a pair of submarine torpedoes that travelled down the length of either side of the vessel. “Sonar wasn’t good until 1943, and the Brits and Americans kept it. Canada got sonar in 1944, and once we had good sonar the subs were dead. Almost every German who served on submarines died.” The winter hurricane season was almost more terrifying than the subs, says Geater. One perfect storm had waves upwards of 800 feet apart in the troughs. The 350-foot long destroyer would go up each wave half the length of the ship (approximately 150 feet) before coming down in a smashing pivot See Wartime C6

Let us never forget the men and women of our armed forces who, with their courage and sacrifice, protected the freedom we have today.
German subs were terrifying foe in the Atlantic Wartime from C5 on the other side, only to race across the three-shiplengths trough to the next wave. “We cracked the deck across the middle. We took on water, and had a significant list when we barely made it into dry dock. “The dry dock workers were standing gawking at us as we came in.” The dry dock in Scotland was a model of efficiency, says Geater, but nothing compared to the Canadian shipyards. “We went from six destroyers at the beginning of the war to over 500 ships. You have never seen a more efficient government operation than the Canadian government building weapons.” For the most part Geater would rather forget his wartime experiences, but he sees the value in Remembrance Day. “I see the need for the day. When you see one war happen after another, there needs to be a reminder so we can learn how to not do it again.”
SERVING THEIR country was a call to arms for the generation that served in the Canadian military during the First and Second World Wars. SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS
Heeding the call to serve to defend our freedom These wars, the First and Second World Wars, touched the lives of Canadians of all ages, all races, all social classes, Fathers, sons, daughters, sweethearts were killed in action, were wounded, and many of those who returned were forever changed. Those who stayed in Canada also served—working in factories, in voluntary service organizations, wherever they were needed. Yet, for many of us, war is a phenomenon viewed through the lens of a television camera or a journalist’s account
of battles fought in distant parts of the world. Our closest physical and emotional experience may be the discovery of wartime memorabilia in a family attic. But even items such as photographs, uniform badges, medals, diaries can seem vague and unconnected to the life of their owner. For those of us who were born during peacetime, all wars appear to be far removed from our daily activities. As Canadians, we often take for granted our current way of life, our freedom to participate in cultural and polit-
By remembering history, we honour the past as we build towards a peaceful future.
ical events, and our right to live under a government of our choice. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms in our constitution ensures that all Canadians enjoy protection under the law. The Canadians who went off to war in distant lands went in the belief that such rights and freedoms were being threatened. They truly believed that, “Without freedom there can be no ensuring peace and without peace no enduring freedom.” In remembering of their service and their sacrifice, we recognize the tradition
of freedom they fought to preserve. These men and women had faith in the future and by their acts gave us the will to preserve peace for all time. On Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the courage and gallantry of those who served their country. During times of war, individual acts of heroism occurred frequently; only a few were recorded and received official recognition. In remembering all who served, we recognize the many who willingly endured the hardships and the fear so that we could live in peace.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I witnessed the birth of a nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tim Cook CONTRIBUTOR
Many historians and writers consider the Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge, a First World War battle fought April 9 to 12 in 1917, a defining moment for Canada, when the country emerged from under the shadow of Britain and felt capable of greatness. Canadian troops also earned a reputation as formidable, effective troops because of the stunning success. But it was a victory at a terrible cost, with more than 10,000 killed and wounded. The Canadian Corps was ordered to seize Vimy Ridge in April 1917. Situated in northern France, the heavily-fortified seven-kilometre ridge theld a commanding view over the Allied lines.
The Canadians would be assaulting over an open graveyard since previous French attacks had failed, with more than 100,000 casualties. To capture this difficult position, the Canadians would carefully plan and rehearse their attack. To provide greater flexibility and firepower in battle, the infantry were given specialist roles as machine-gunners, riflemen and grenade-throwers. These same soldiers underwent weeks of training behind the lines using models to represent the battlefield, and new maps crafted from aerial photographs to guide their way. To bring men forward safely for the assault, engineers dug deep tunnels from the rear to the front. Despite this training and preparation, the key to
victory would be a devastating artillery barrage that would not only isolate enemy trenches, but provide a moving wall of high explosives and shrapnel to force the Germans to stay in their deep dugouts and away from their machineguns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chaps, you shall go over exactly like a railroad train, on time, or you shall be annihilated,â&#x20AC;? warned Canadian Corps commander Sir Julian Byng. In the week leading up to the battle, Canadian and British artillery pounded the enemy positions on the ridge, killing and tormenting defenders. New artillery tactics allowed the gunners to first target, then destroy enemy positions. A nearly limitless supply of artillery shells and the new 106 fuse, which allowed shells to explode
on contact as opposed to burying themselves in ground, facilitated the destruction of hardened defences and barbed wire. The Canadian infantry would be well supported when it went into battle with over 1,000 artillery pieces laying down withering, supportive fire. Attacking together for the first time, the four Canadian divisions stormed the ridge at 5:30 a.m. on April 9, 1917. More than 15,000 Canadian infantry overran the Germans all along the front. Incredible bravery and discipline allowed the infantry to continue moving forward under heavy fire, even when their officers were killed. There were countless acts of sacrifice, as Canadians single-handedly charged machine-gun nests or forced the surren-
der of Germans in protective dugouts. Hill 145, the highest and most important feature of the Ridge, and where the Vimy monument now stands, was captured in a frontal bayonet charge against machine-gun positions. Three more days of
costly battle delivered final victory. The Canadian operation was an important success, even if the larger British and French offensive, of which it had been a part, had failed. But it was victory at a heavy cost: 3,598 Canadi-
ans were killed and another 7,000 wounded. The capture of Vimy was more than just an important battlefield victory. Brigadier-General A.E. Ross declared after the war: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In those few minutes I witnessed the birth of a nation.â&#x20AC;?

YMCA volunteer helped forge poppy tradition Moina M. Michael, a YMCA volunteer, developed the idea of wearing a poppy for remembrance after she read the poem In Flanders Fields, written by Canadian Lt Col John McCrae. Immediately, she vowed to always wear a red poppy as a sign of remembrance and she spread the idea to YMCAs in North America and Europe. A commemorative stamp honoring Moina Michael was issued November 1948 (see photo). Here is her story of how the tradition of wearing a Remembrance Day poppy began. In 1918, Moina Michael was teaching at the University of Georgia, in the town of Athens. Having volunteered for war work with the YMCA she was called up for service with the Overseas YMCA War Workers. In September 1918, she took a leave of absence from her post at the university and arrived at the YMCA training headquarters at Columbia University, New York City, where she had originally been a student in 1912 and 1913. After completing her training course Michael’s hopes of being sent abroad were dashed when she was barred from over-
seas service due to her age —she was 49. However, Dr. J.W. Gaines, president of the Overseas YMCA Secretaries, helped her stay with the organization by giving her a job at the training headquarters where she worked until January 1919. The idea for the Flanders Fields Memorial Poppy came to Michael while she was working at the YMCA Overseas War Secretaries’ headquarters on a Saturday morning in November 1918, two days before the Armistice was declared at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11. The 25th Conference of the Overseas YMCA War Secretaries was in progress. On passing her desk, a young soldier left a copy of the November Ladies Home Journal on Michael’s desk. At about 10.30 a.m., when everyone was on duty elsewhere, Michael found a few moments to

read the magazine. In it she came across a page which carried a vivid colour illustration for the poem We Shall Not Sleep (later named In Flanders Fields), written by John McCrae. Reading the poem on this occasion—she had read it many times before—Michael became transfixed by the last verse: “To you from failing hands we throw the Torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders Fields.” In Michael’s book, The Miracle Flower, she described the experience as deeply spiritual, and she felt as though she was actually being called in person by the voices which had been silenced by death. At that moment Michael made a personal pledge to ‘keep the faith’ and vowed always to wear a red poppy of Flanders

Fields as a sign of remembrance and as an emblem for “keeping the faith with all who died.” Compelled to make a note of this pledge, she hastily scribbled down a poem in response on the back of a used envelope, entitled, We Shall Keep the Faith. On the morning of Saturday, Nov. 9, 1918, three men from the 25th conference of the YMCA Overseas Secretaries appeared at Michael’s desk. On behalf of the delegates they asked her to accept a cheque for $10 in appreciation of her efforts to brighten up the head-

poem In Flanders Fields in the Ladies Journal, together with her poem We Shall Keep the Faith, which she had written in reply. The delegates took both poems back into the conference. After searching the shops for some time that day, Michael found one large and 24 small artificial red silk poppies in a store. When she returned to duty at the YMCA headquarters later that evening, delegates from the conference crowded round her asking for poppies to wear. Keeping one poppy for her own coat collar she gave out the rest of the poppies to the enthusiastic delegates. According to Michael, since this was the first group-effort asking for poppies to wear in memory of all who died in Flanders Fields, and since this group had given her the money with which to buy them, she considered that she had consummated the first sale of the Flanders Fields Memorial Poppy on Nov. 9, 1918. During the winter of that year, Michael continued working for the Staff of the Overseas YMCA Secretaries. She visited wounded and sick men from Georgia who were in nine of the debarkation hospitals in and around New York
City, to find what could be done for them other than what the hospitals were doing. By March 1919, she had moved back to Georgia to take up her place at the University of Georgia. With the return of thousands of ex-servicemen from that time Michael realized that there was not only a need to honour the memory of those who had died in the service of their country, but also a need to remember that those who were returning also had mental, physical and spiritual needs. During the summer months of 1919, Moina taught a class of disabled servicemen, there being several hundred in rehabilitation at the University of Georgia. Learning about their needs at first hand gave her the impetus to widen the scope of the poppy idea, to develop it so that it could be used to help all servicemen who needed help for themselves and for their dependents. In September 1921 delegates at the Auxiliary to the American Legion Convention agreed that disabled American war veterans could make the poppies sold in the United States, thus generating much needed income for veterans who had no other income.

Choir ready to sing The Gala Children’s Choir will be performing at the Rutland Remembrance Day Ceremony for the first time. The 17-member choir, with members aged 5 to 11, will be singing as people come into the park. Choir director Heather Hrasko, who has been attending the Rutland ceremony for 11 years, says this is the first year she has had the choir perform on Remembrance Day. “The kids are excited to do this. It was interesting to explain to children the reasons behind the words in the songs,” she said. “When you explain to the kids in the choir there are still children in the world today who have no hope and are just trying to survive amidst the threat of bombs…the children in the choir really respond to that.” The choir will be singing four songs—I Will Follow, Hymn to Freedom, I Have a Dream, and One Wish. Hrasko is grateful the children are able to use the microphones and speakers already on site at the ceremony so they can just concentrate on the singing. Hrasko volunteered the choir’s services in mid-September and the choir has been practising ever since. Hrasko hopes adults and children attending the ceremony will see that children do understand the sacrifices made all those years ago and they don’t take for granted what happened. “When children understand what has happened it is special to see them making the words come out of their mouths and understanding the words they are singing.”

Holland continues to honour Canadian veterans
Donald Ritchey CONTRIBUTOR
With Remembrance Day coming up, it reminded me of the memorable trip and the honour I had, after being a longtime resident of Kelowna, to represent our city as the veteran designate to attend the 65th anniversary celebration on the Liberation of Holland. Accompanying me was my wife Claire, and my children Landon and Lynn.

try, making it into a beautiful and manicured place to live. I was impressed by how the many cemeteries are cared for, honouring
the young Canadians who gave their lives to help liberate their country. The people show their appreciation to Canadians
in many ways. During our visit, we were treated like royalty, just because we were Canadians. The British Columbia Dragoons were among the Canadian Forces who helped liberate Holland. We owe a lot to the many valiant Canadian soldiers who gave their lives for their liberty. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, “We Will Remember Them.” Never before were we so proud to be Canadian. Our thanks go to the Kelowna Veendam Sister City Association, the cities of Kelowna and Veendam, and all those who made the arrangements to make this trip possible.

Poppies remain a symbol of lives lost at war Every November, more than 13 million poppies blossom in Canada. They blossom on the jackets, dresses and hats of nearly half the Canadian population and they have blossomed for almost 75 years, since 1921. The poppy is the symbol that individuals use to show that they remember those who were killed in the wars and peace keeping operations that Canada has been involved in. The association of the poppy to those who had been killed in war had existed for at least 110 years prior to being adopted in Canada. There are records of a correspondent who, during the Napoleonic War, wrote of how thickly poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. ••• The person, who more than any other, that was responsible for the adoption of the poppy in Canada was a Canadian Medical Officer during the First World War—Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae of Guelph, Ont. John McCrae was a tall, boyish 43year-old member of the Canadian Medical Corps. He was an artillery veteran of the Boer War in South Africa and was described as a person with the eye of a gunner, the hand of a surgeon, and the soul of a poet when he went into the line at Ypres on April 22, 1915. April 22, was the first time that the enemy used poison gas, but the first attack failed and so did the next wave and the next. In fact, for 17 days and nights the Allies repulsed wave after wave of the attacking enemy. McCrae wrote: “One can see the dead lying there on the front field. And in places where the enemy threw in an at-
tack, they lie very thick on the slopes of the German trenches.” McCrae, worked from a dressing station on the bank of the Yser Canal, dressing hundreds of wounded and never removed his clothes for the entire 17 days. At times the dead and wounded actually rolled down the bank from above his dugout. At other times, while awaiting the arrival of batches of wounded, he would watch the men at work in the burial plots which were quickly filling up. In time, McCrae and his unit were relieved and he wrote home: “We are weary in body and wearier in mind. The general impression in my mind is one of a nightmare.” McCrae came away from Ypres with 13 lines scrawled on a scrap of paper. The lines were a poem which started: “In Flanders fields the poppies blow…” (see poem on page C11). These were the lines which are enshrined in the innermost thoughts and hearts of all soldiers who hear them. John McCrae was their voice. The poem circulated as a folk song, and by word of mouth and all who hear it are deeply touched. In the United States for example, the poem inspired the American Legion to also adopt the poppy as the symbol of remembrance. In Canada, the poppy was officially adopted by the Great War Veterans Association in 1921 on the suggestion of a Mrs. E. Guerin, a French citizen. But there is little doubt that the impact of John McCrae’s poem influenced this decision. The poem speaks of Flanders fields, but the subject is universal—the fear of the dead that they will be forgotten, that their death will have been in vain. Sadly, John McCrae died of pneumonia at Wimereux near Boulogne, France, on Jan. 28, 1918, at the age of 44.

McCrae’s “In Flanders Fields” remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915. ere is the story of the making of that poem: H Although he had been a doctor for years and had served in the South African War, it was impossible to get used to the suffering, the screams, and the blood here, and Major John McCrae had seen and heard enough in his dressing station to last him a lifetime.
As a surgeon attached to the 1st Field Artillery Brigade, Major McCrae, who had joined the McGill faculty in 1900 after graduating from the University of Toronto, had spent seventeen days treating injured men -- Canadians, British, Indians, French, and Germans -- in the Ypres salient. It had been an ordeal that he had hardly thought possible. McCrae later wrote of it: “I wish I could embody on paper some of the varied sensations of that seventeen days... Seventeen days of Hades! At the end of the first day if anyone had told us we had to spend seventeen days there, we would have folded our hands and said it could not have been done.” One death particularly affected McCrae. A young friend and former student, Lieut. Alexis Helmer of Ottawa, had been killed by a shell burst on 2 May 1915. Lieutenant Helmer was buried later that day in the little cemetery outside McCrae’s dressing station, and McCrae had performed the funeral ceremony in the absence of the chaplain. The next day, sitting on the back of an ambulance parked near the dressing station beside the Canal de l’Yser, just a few hundred yards north of Ypres, McCrae vented his anguish by composing a poem. The major was no stranger to writing, having authored several medical texts besides dabbling in poetry. In the nearby cemetery, McCrae could see the wild poppies that sprang up in the ditches in that part of Europe, and he spent twenty minutes of precious rest time scribbling fifteen lines of verse in a notebook. A young soldier watched him write it. Cyril Allinson, a twenty-two year old sergeant-major, was delivering mail that day when he spotted McCrae. The major looked up as Allinson approached, then went on writing while the sergeant-major stood there quietly. “His face was very tired but calm as we wrote,” Allinson recalled. “He looked around from time to time, his eyes straying to Helmer’s grave.” When McCrae finished five minutes later, he took his mail from Allinson and, without saying a word, handed his pad to the young NCO. Allinson was moved by what he read: “The poem was exactly an exact description of the scene in front of us both. He used the word blow in that line because the poppies actually were being blown that morning by a gentle east wind. It never occurred to me at that time that it would ever be published. It seemed to me just an exact description of the scene.” In fact, it was very nearly not published. Dissatisfied with it, McCrae tossed the poem away, but a fellow officer retrieved it and sent it to newspapers in England. The Spectator, in London, rejected it, but Punch published it on 8 December 1915.
