The Kelowna man kicked in the face while being arrested by an RCMP officer, prompting a criminal investigation into the officer’s actions, expressed happiness after finally being released from custody Monday night and thanked the community for their support. “I appreciate all the support,” said 51-year-old Buddy Tavares as he left the Kelowna Law Courts just before 5:30 p.m. Monday after the Crown agreed to his release from custody. Sporting a black eye and scabs on his face, Tavares said his eyesight was getting better and he was looking forward to going home. “I’ve been here long enough,” he said. Tavares’ release came three days after he was arrested in relation to a gun complaint at the Harvest Golf Club. Shortly after 10 a.m. on Friday, RCMP were summoned to the local golf course after it was reported that a former employee was at the KLO location with a weapon. Soon after, police received a report of shots
Officers from the municipal police force in Abbotsford were set yesterday to begin investigating the allegation that Kelowna RCMP Const. Geoff Mantler may have used excessive force during his arrest of Buddy Tavares last week. The arrest on Friday morning was caught on video and showed Mantler kicking Tavares in the face while he was on all fours on the ground. Supt. Bill McKinnon said Monday that he was “shocked and disappointed” by what he had seen in the video, but stating that “we have to now allow the process to take its course.” That process includes both the code of conduct investigation he ordered and the criminal probe, which is being undertaken by Abbotsford Police. As part of that investigation, RCMP are asking anyone who witnessed the arrest to come forward and call them at 250-7623300 so their names can be passed on to the Abbotsford investigators. Or, witnesses can call Abbotsford Police directly.

Cowboy saves deer trapped in a pool Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
You just never know when your past will come back to haunt you—or help you. Monday, Kelowna conservation officer Ed Seitz made use of his days roping cattle to save the life of a young buck trapped in the deep end of an empty swimming pool in West Kelowna. Fellow CO Greg Kruger says the deer had likely been in the concrete basin for a couple of days, unable to climb up the icy slope of the bottom of the pool or the steep concrete walls to freedom, when the homeowner began to wonder why coyotes were beginning to gather around the pool. That was when he discovered the animal standing knee-deep in icewater. He tried putting plywood and carpet in the pool so it could get the traction needed to climb out, but it was soaking wet, tired and distraught and was unable to get the leverage to jump out. The homeowner called the CO service and the two officers went to see if they could help. Kruger said they could smell the stress from the deer when they arrived. The property backs onto Kalamoir Regional Park and it seemed likely the deer had been chased by coyotes until it fell into the concrete pool at night.
The problem, he said, was how to get the distraught wild animal out of the pool without harming either the animal or its rescuers. Luckily, Seitz had brought his lariat, noted Kruger. “It became clear that this cowboy had been away from the cattle ranch for a few years as his first several attempts to lasso the deer fell well short of the mark.” However, eventually, “cowboy Ed” threw out a perfectly-placed toss and the lasso tightened around the animal’s antlers, related Kruger. “The only problem is the animal on the other end of the rope is not a domestic calf like this cowboy is used to manhandling, but a wild beast that fights with every muscle in its body to free itself,” he said. Eventually, a well-placed needle on a jab stick was used to inject a tranquilizing drug into the deer’s rear end. Within about three minutes the buck was asleep and lifted out of the icy pool. They placed it on a piece of carpet to insulate it from the frozen ground and covered it with blankets to protect it from the cold during recovery. Kruger said the property-owner monitored the deer and kept coyotes away for a couple of hours until it woke up. The deer then stood up and sauntered off into the forest. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Covenant may limit improvements for Stuart Park ice rink Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The continually busy Stuart Park ice rink exceeded the expectations of locals and city politicians alike, but most agree a couple of tweaks are needed to make it just right. Unfortunately, a more than 50-year-old covenant on the property could keep those at bay. Or at the very least, a short jaunt away. “I looked into the (Simpson) covenant, and zero commercial activity is allowed, even if you are a non-profit,” said Coun. Angela Reid, in response to the suggestion the rink
might be the ideal location for everything from skate rentals to a concession stand. The covenant on the former sawmill land extends around city hall— not including Water Street—until the boundary of the yacht club, and blocks commercial endeavours. That, said Coun. Blanleil, is at odds with what’s best for the community. “It’s frustrating that we can’t get something the community would benefit from,” said Blanleil, pointing out that the city should have dealt with the trust’s terms in court.
As is, plans for everything from concessions to skate rental areas are hinging on the yacht club’s development, which Blanleil isn’t thrilled with. “In the next few years there will be redevelopment and I don’t think we can look at the yacht club for everything,” he said. Meantime, the city has come up with a stopgap measure that will address at least a few of the needs that have been highlighted. Some time in the next couple of weeks, a truck will appear on Water Street, in front of the rink, and it will be stocked
with warm beverages and snacks and will also be able to play music from its speakers. Councillors approved a three month contract to Scooter’s Ice Cream, and in the time that follows a request for proposals for something more permanent will be issued. And in that time, Coun. Robert Hobson implied, it may be conceivable that talks with those who run the trust could bear positive returns. “As far as commercial activities go, we can’t do them on that site but if we have a plan and talk to the trust about it, I suppose
that’s feasible,” he said. Hobson also said that he’s pleased with how well the ice rink is being received by the public, and admitted it meant he had to eat crow. “I am so pleased we have a lively people place right in the heart of the city, on the waterfront,” he said, pointing out his “heart skipped a beat” when he saw the ice surface bustling with locals. “I admit, when this came through…I wasn’t as supportive as I should have been.” Kudos, he said, should be extended to those who lobbied for the rink, de-
spite opposition.
TURNING UP THE HEAT
Kelowna’s waterfront is shaping up to be the place to be on a cold winter day, or night. The skating rink, which will soon be augmented with a concession truck may also benefit from a touch of heat, as city council is looking at changing a bylaw that prohibits open flames on the waterfront. Coun. Luke Stack suggested a warming station for skaters to take a break during Monday’s regular meeting, but the suggestion was initially rebuffed.
Coun. Charlie Hodge informed him of the bylaw, adding that a local business learned the hard way in recent weeks that warming the waterfront comes at a cost. To that, Stack pointed out that it’s council who gets to decide such matters. “At risk of fanning the flame, we could modify that bylaw,” he said. Another modification could be in the near future, also. Mayor Sharon Shepherd pointed out that local radio stations are clamouring to get their DJs’ voices broadcast over the rink, making the whole experience more lively.

W EMERGENCY SOCIAL SERVICES
Volunteer-run program starts a new chapter with new director Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
Catherine Williams is filling big shoes with the retirement of long-time regional emergency social services coordinator Beryl Itani. Formerly the Kelowna services director, Williams has been working with Itani for the past 11 years, seeing the volunteer-run group grow from nothing to a program now capable of evacuating thousands of people in an emergency. Itani is retiring from the regional service after 30 years as the head of the program. Williams said her predecessor leaves behind a large number of trained people who handle those displaced by fires and other emergencies. Provincial Emergency Preparedness training covers how to set up a reception centre and deal with the forms and paperwork that result from feeding, clothing and housing emergency victims during the first 72 hours. Williams noted the people who tend to be drawn to volunteer with emergency social services are flexible, and rarely feel overwhelmed by situations. “We may phone you at 3 o’clock in the morning. And in fact, we quite often do.� She noted that volunteers may train and train, only to have nothing happen for a year. She added that ESS volunteers are also prepared to deal with people during what could be the worst day of their life. Williams pointed out volunteers are often one of the first people who emergency victims see. She noted people working for the emergency program have some-
thing concrete to offer those in distress, making sure the victims have a roof over their head and access to food and clothing. After the initial 72 hours, what happens to victims depends on their situation, from whether they can get back into their home to whether they can find rental accommodations. For victims without insurance, Williams noted ESS works in partnership with the Salvation Army, the Red Cross and other community organizations that make up the social services network. Williams said the organization is always more than happy to welcome volunteers. She noted that having people trained and prepared ahead of time is what makes the program effective. In 2009, the group evacuated close to 7,000 people on the Westside during forest fires there. “You can do that because everything is in place,� she said. Hotels and restaurants are visited every year to be signed up for the program. Volunteers spend hours of their time training as part of a group. Williams pointed out that when there is a major event, people are trained on the spot. “We do quick and real basic training, and we have someone checking every form when it goes out.� But condensing a two-day course into an hour is difficult, and the organization likes people who train ahead of time. More information on the service can be found online at www.regionaldistrict.com.

Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a parasite, and not by a bacteria as was indicated in the headline. Dr. Oz would also like to stress that the disease is potentially dangerous to pregnant woman if their first exposure to the parasite occurs while pregnant. The purpose of the column was to explain the main sources of infection and means for avoidance.

Bell peppers are a great source of vitamin C. If you thought citrus fruits packed a powerful punch when it comes to being a good source of vitamin C, peppers have them beat. Red peppers have twice the amount of vitamin C by weight than citrus fruits, and this powerful punch of vitamin C is an antioxidant that may be effective in preventing certain cancers.

Some tough calls for school board Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It is decision time for the board of education at the Central Okanagan School District as months worth of consultation and discussion on the future of crowded French immersion schools and the overflowing Mission neighbourhood boil down to today’s final decisions. And the list of plans is lengthy. Among the most substantive changes on the agenda is a call to cap future growth at Chute Lake Elementary and reopen the primary building at Anne McClymont Elementary to start dealing with overflow students from Chute Lake and the Anne McClymont area. The board is also being asked to approve a phased-in, dual-track French immersion program for Dorothea Walker Elementary School beginning with students in kindergarten through Grade 3 from the Chute Lake Elementary, Anne McClymont Elementary and Dorothea Walker catchment areas. The district would then add Grades 4 to 6 French immersion to the school at a rate of a grade per year. Students from the area who already have older siblings at Casorso Elementary would be given the option to attend that school instead, though the aim is to bring the numbers at Casorso down. Kindergarten classes at both Dorothea Walker and Casorso would be limited to a maximum of two classes per school. There is mention that French immersion on the Westside, particularly at the middle school level, should be up for discussion in the immediate future. Otherwise, much of the report calls for the status quo. A copy of the full items up for discussion is available on the district’s web site at www.sd23. bc.ca jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

W LIBERAL LEADERSHIP RACE
Abbott calls for RCMP civilian oversight watchdog Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
One of the leading candidates to succeed Gordon Campbell as Liberal leader and B.C. premier says the province needs a civilian watchdog to oversee the actions of the RCMP in this province. Shuswap MLA George Abbott, who will host a town hall meeting in Kelowna on Thursday, told the Capital News that while the office of the provincial police complaints commissioner can look into the actions of municipal police forces in B.C., it cannot do so for the RCMP. Abbott said given that the province is currently negotiating a new contract with the RCMP for policing in B.C., he would like to see what he called a “blue-ribbon” commis-
sion established to look at the whole issue of policing here. It, in turn, could call for the creation of a civilian RCMP watchdog. Abbott’s call for a commission was originally made shortly after he announced his candidacy for the Liberal leadership in November. It followed a similar call by B.C.’s then-solicitor-general Kash Heed for a civilian oversight panel for the RCMP in January 2010. Abbott reiterated his call Tuesday when asked about an incident here late last week where a local RCMP officer kicked a man in the face while the man was on his knees being arrested. (See story on A1). Abbott said the Kelowna incident is a good example of something that could be investigated by a

BOTH OF THESE ISSUES (HEALTH AND EDUCATION) TAKE UP 70 PER CENT OF THE PROVINCIAL BUDGET. George Abbott dio talk show host Christy Clark on how it should be tackled. While Clark thinks it’s clear the upcoming HST referendum is headed for defeat, she wants it sent back to the Legislature for a vote by MLAs. But Abbott disagreed, saying it is up to the public to decide. “I have already voted on the HST three times (in
the Legislature) and spoken about it as many times in the Legislature as well,” he said. Given the work anti-HST proponents did to force the province-wide binding vote through the Initiative law, the public is owed an opportunity to have its say, he said. He would, however, bring the vote forward, saying not many people in B.C. are going to be thinking about tax policy during the summer months. The referendum is slated for September. Other issues Abbott said are top of mind for the people he had been speaking with are health and education. “Both of these issues take up 70 per cent of the provincial budget,” he said. As a former B.C. health minister, he said he
shares the concern about the long-tern sustainability of the current health care system and that needs to be addressed. As for education, Abbott was minister of that portfolio for just a month before quitting cabinet to run for the leadership, but said he learned a lot in that short time. With experience there, as well as in health and the aboriginal relations ministry, the Shuswap MLA feels he has a good, broad knowledge of the issues facing B.C. and the ability to bring all elements in his party together to tackles those issues. But if Abbott does win the leadership don’t look for an early election call. He said he has no plans to call an election earlier than the scheduled May 2013 date for the next B.C. vote.
Abbott has racked up the most Liberal MLA support of any of the six candidates in the race, including Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal MLA Norm Letnick and Kelowna-Mission Liberal MLA Steve Thomson, who is B.C.’s current energy and natural resource operations minister. The other candidates vying to succeed Campbell include Clark, former health minister Kevin Falcon and former Attorney-General Mike De Jong, former regional economic development and skills minister Moira Stillwell and former Parksville mayor Ed Mayne. Abbott’s local meeting will take place at the Rutland Centennial Hall Jan. 14, at 7 p.m. It is open to the general public to attend. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

be forwarded to city council to deliberate in their budget, and councillors did express some interest in further examining the cost. “We don’t know what’s in a building, and we are concerned about risk, yet we don’t have what we need to deal with the incident,” said Coun. Robert Hobson. “This is helpful to give us the tools needed to help fire fighters, environment and community.” While some of the recommendations came with a price tag, Brolund also isolated a few areas where internal operations could
be improved. Among those are stronger working relationships with other city departments and further incident command training for all city departments. The Stewart Centre fire broke out in an industrial mall last July. When a landscaping shop was caught in its path, stores of fertilizers and pesticides were released into storm drains. Eventually they leaked into Mill Creek, and later Okanagan Lake, prompting city officials to close beaches to the public for several days. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

From what she’s heard so far, the prison that’s planned for some spot in the valley would fit those parameters. The only stumbling block is that Coleman said there couldn’t be any First Nation land claims on the area, and the mayor wasn’t sure if the land designated for the prison was free of those issues. While voicing his sup-

port, Coun. Luke Stack pointed out that the province actually owns the site in question, so it theoretically should have the information at its fingertips. “I think it would be a tremendous boon to our city,” he said. “They’re well funded institutions… there’s a lot of benefits to having it here.” The general area of interest runs from Penticton
to Armstrong as the proposed Okanagan Correction Centre should be in somewhat close proximity to the Kelowna courthouse. Coleman started consultation with local governments as part of the site selection process for the correctional facility, which is to be completed by 2015. The new centre is ex-
pected to address the growing demand for inmate space in the region, reduce pressures on local police lockups and improve access for lawyers, police, social services and families of those in custody. The centre will house all area remand inmates, so it is preferred to have it centrally located to minimize travel times between the courts.

Solicitor General Rich Coleman to voice interest in a local correctional centre by April. “We did send a message back, thanking him for the letter, and reminded him in 1996 there was a piece of land zoned (for that purpose),” she said. “The only covenant is that the number of inmates stay at 200 and it’s medium security.”
Kelowna will see a net gain of one more red light camera location as part of an upgrade, announced Monday, to the province’s intersection safety camera (ISC) program. The upgrade will see a total of 140 dedicated digital cameras, including five
in Kelowna, placed at intersections that will be activated at times when data shows the greatest risk of a crash or when they’re likely to have the biggest impact on driver behaviour, said ICBC. Previously, there were 30 film cameras rotating among 120 intersections in B.C., including four in Kelowna.
Adam Grossman, a spokesperson for ICBC, said that one of those old locations—Gordon Drive at KLO Road—is being decommissioned and the other three are being carried over as part of the upgrade. Those existing locations—Harvey at Cooper, Spall and Gordon— will receive new cameras,
as will the intersections at Banks Road and Highway 97 and Dilworth Drive and Springfield Road. The choice to decommission one location and add two more is based on the more accurate crash data that ICBC has now. “Our data is so much better than we had 10 years ago,” said Grossman.
He also noted that the focus now is “not highest volume intersections, but highest risk intersections.” Sites were selected based on collision type, severity and frequency, as well as the potential for improvement to reduce Tbone and head-on crashes. Cameras operating under the previous ISC pro-
gram that are not eligible to remain in the upgraded program will be removed in phases, said ICBC, and the new digital cameras are being phased in. Full implementation of the program across B.C. is expected by the end of this year. cweirda@kelownacapnews.com

W COURT
Drug trial judge’s ruling upheld Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
The B.C. Court of Appeal said a Kelowna judge misapprehended the evidence in favour of the accused in a marijuana grow operation case. As a result, the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of the man who was convicted of drug charges and theft of electricity. In a decision Thursday, the Court of Appeal rejected John MacDuff’s assertion that the trial judge erred in admitting evidence from a police search, even after the judge quashed the search warrant because of a Charter breach. The Crown, meanwhile, had taken the position that the trial judge erred when he quashed the warrant and that there was no Charter breach. Back in January 2006,
two FortisBC employees did a service check at a Kelowna property found that electricity had been stolen. A police officer applied for a telewarrant based on that information and other investigation, after being told that a judicial justice of the peace at the Kelowna courthouse was not available to hear the request for a warrant. The trial judge found that the officer erred in not asking for a judge, but the Court of Appeal noted that a practice directive disallows judges to hear warrant applications, except in extenuating circumstances, and that the officer had a correct understanding of that directive. The trial judge, in the end, found that the officer did not act in bad faith in getting the warrant, and allowed the evidence, which eventually was used to convict MacDuff. He, however, made
comments in his judgment about the Fortis investigators that the Court of Appeal ruled could have had a “deleterious effect on their careers.” The trial judge suggested the Fortis employees had mislead the RCMP officer by failing to comply with company policy that two tests should have been taken to determine if electricity had been stolen, overstating the amount of missing electricity and failing to advise the missing electricity was worth less than a cent. However, the Court of Appeal found that there was no policy to take two measurements and the investigators never said that they didn’t know the alleged theft was for less than a penny. “The small value of the 19,225 watts stolen during the 6.2 second measurement period was
irrelevant because with a bypass, the theft is ongoing,” wrote Justice Elizabeth Bennett. The trial judge also suggested the officer should have treated the Fortis investigators as informants of “unknown reliability,” despite the officer having known one of the investigators for over 20 years and knowing both were retired RCMP officers. “The trial judge’s statement that the investigators were of unknown reliability was an error in favour of Mr. MacDuff,” said Bennett. The Court of Appeal ruled that their review of the case favoured including the evidence obtained by the search and didn’t interfere with the judge’s finding in admitting the evidence. As such, they dismissed MacDuff’s appeal.

Steve Holmes. “The business received damage to the front entry way, which is be-

More questions than answers
L
ast Friday morning, the Kelowna RCMP received a complaint of someone discharging a shotgun at the Harvest golf course who suffers from a brain injury. Police responded to the complaint with a likely heightened sense of alert given a firearm was involved. The suspect, Kelowna resident Buddy Tavares, was eventually pulled over near the intersection of KLO Road and Pandosy Street. While lying on the ground
being handcuffed, an RCMP officer showed up to assist with the arrest. What happened next was captured on video, the officer kicking Tavares in the head as he was lying handcuffed on the ground. While Tavares, recovering from a brain injury suffered in a motorcycle accident last year, remained lock up over the weekend awaiting a court appearance on Monday morning, another public trial also began—as again yet another RCMP officer has been sus-

pended with pay while his actions during the arrest of Tavares becomes subjected to an internal review. It will take months, probably longer than a year, for the police and Crown counsel to likely respond to what is obvious to anyone who has watched the video. But as is the case when these issue arise, the media saturation coverage often creates more questions than it does provide answers. Police are calling the case a domestic disturbance, yet Ta-
vares’ estranged wife said she made no such complaint. Tavares had no permit to discharge a shotgun to scare off geese at The Harvest golf course, yet his appearance there Friday morning was not deemed as unusual. Who made the initial complaint and why? And on it goes, but once again the RCMP are faced with having their image tarnished in the public eye with an apparent case of excessive use of force caught on video.

Was something lacking in his local reporter, resulted in the swift an- training? nouncement of both criminal and inNo matter what the answer is, the
kick was, in the words of his boss, Supt. Bill McKinnon “shocking” and “disappointing.” Bit it was more—it was unacceptable behaviour from someone charged with enforcing the laws of a supposedly civilized society. Fair or not, cops need to keep their emotions in check on the job. They are held to a higher standard because of the position they hold in society. We give them special powers to enforce the law, we equip them with loaded guns to use if needed and we trust they will act with integrity. And, to be fair, the majority of police do just that. They chose to take on a tough job and, in most cases, they
do it well. But there are exceptions. As for training, how often (when cops are not in trouble) do we hear how well RCMP officers are trained? That training is even exported to other parts of the world where fledgling police departments are being established. But, as has been seen across Canada in recent years, it only takes the actions of a few to ruin the hardearned reputation of many. The video shows Mantler lashing out and kicking Tavares in the face as Tavares knelt on the ground following his street-side take down Friday afternoon. He was apprehended after reports of shots fired at a local golf course. He has now been charged
with careless use of a firearm in relation to a domestic dispute. Mantler, on the other hand, has been suspended with pay pending the investigations. And the public—people are speaking out in anger about the kick. That’s where this story, as tragic as it is for those directly involved, spins off into a bigger picture. In Canada, we pride ourselves on the fact that this is not a police state. We have rules and they are followed, both by the police and the public. But when we lose that confidence, we lose a lot.

W PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT
Statistics show B.C. government is working to reduce child poverty To the editor: Re: Child Poverty Reduction Plan Long Overdue For Our Province, by Paul Latimer, Capital News, Jan. 7. No one wants to see any child living in poverty, and clearly there is more work to do to address the issue. However, I am encouraged by the trends showing the rate of child poverty is decreasing in British Columbia at a greater rate than any other
province in Canada—by 46 per cent since 2003— and is now at its lowest level since 1980. Putting a label on child poverty does not ensure success. For instance, Ontario and Newfoundland, which each have child poverty reduction plans, experienced significant increases in their respective rates of child poverty. B.C. has a plan that is focused on policies that
support a strong economy and cross-ministry initiatives which include affordable housing, rental supplements, child care support, reduced MSP premiums for low income families, the lowest personal provincial income taxes in Canada for individuals earning up to $118,000 annually and an annual HST credit of $230 per family member that’s benefitting over 1.1 million low and modest
income British Columbians. Also, the provincial government has invested more than $2 billion in housing/support programs since 2001. We have committed to creating more than 20,000 new units of housing, and over the last decade, 15,124 units have been completed, 4,210 are under construction or in development across the province and funding has been committed for an-
other 1,158 units. Our government is continually assessing the effectiveness of initiatives and targeted investments that impact low income families, and we will continue to exercise the same level of commitment moving forward. Mary Polak, Minister of Children and Family Development, Victoria
W POLICE BRUTALITY
Go straight to the Gulag, do not stop for court To the editor: Re.: Police brutality This is just unacceptable. The on-going excessive brutality to the populace of this country by our police force. To get a desk job afterward (the RCMP member in question was initially assigned to desk duty, but on Monday was suspended from duty with pay until further notice) is grossly wrong, and yet to still be employed
with our tax dollars—unbelievable. What job out there can you beat up some one under your authority, and get to keep your employment and a good wage with the company? They should be terminated, with no severance package, for their brutality to the citizens of this country. The judicial system protects them with their insider investigations into these matters. Just like managers at the company you work
at disciplining each other for the wrong they do against the employees under there management—rarely happens. The long and the short of it, they should be terminated immediately. It is a direct crime against our society through their physical abuse. Frank De Smet, Kelowna
W BREAST MILK SHARING
Feeling elated by helping other mothers To the editor: I read with great interest your story, Breast Milk Co-Op Revives An Old Tradition, in the Capital News (Jan. 9). Breastfeeding has always been an issue close to my heart, first helping new moms breastfeed as a labour and delivery/postpartum nurse at KGH, and then as a mother myself to four children. I’ve always made way too much milk, so when baby No. 4 came along, I found myself yet
again with a whole lot of breast milk and no place to put it... Even after giving it (in cups) to my other kids, even after putting it on their Cheerios, there is quite a bit of milk left. I typically pump about 10 ounces of milk before each feed, and 20 ounces in the middle of the night on top of that because he sleeps through. Every day I was pouring about 20 to 40 ounces of milk down the drain because I had no use for it. I had considered milk
donation before, but they don’t make it easy—the Vancouver milk bank is four hours away by car. You have to bring the milk there, or arrange to have it delivered by courier. It has to arrive completely frozen, and you (the donor) are responsible for all costs. At a follow-up appointment with my midwife I mentioned my “problem.” She quietly told me about the “underground milk bank” and asked me if I was interest-
ed. I was. I began dropping off my breast milk, and agreed to the midwife sharing my blood test results and basic medical history with anyone getting my milk. Eventually, she put me in touch with a local woman who had had a breast reduction years earlier, couldn’t breastfeed, but was very passionate about her infant receiving breast milk. For the last month, she stops by to pick up my extra
milk, which now equates to about 40 ounces a day after my kids get their fill. I almost cried the first time she told me how much getting my milk means to her. For me, it’s just extra milk that would go down the drain, but to her it is gold. I can’t tell you how good it feels to be able to help someone this way. I wish that this type of thing didn’t have to be underground. Liz Hinton, West Kelowna

Solo artist enters band contest Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
He is the brother of Treelines guitar player Matt Kelly and a graduate of Rutland Senior Secondary, but for the next month Patrick Kelly will be working hard to brand himself as the winner of B.C.’s Best Teen Band contest. Sponsored by Youthink Magazine, Tom Lee Music and the Vancouver-radio station 100.5 The Peak FM, the contest is somewhat of a stepping stone en route to the bigger things Music B.C. has to offer young artists. The Peak Performance Project, for example, offers up a $100,000 prize to flush out the best talent in the province and the equipment, tips and interviews one can win from this contest would prime an artist for entry. For this competition, Kelly was named to the top-10 finalists list Monday and has just a month to get his fan base on board with a difficult voting process. “It’s kind of tough. Basically, you can’t just go on the site and vote.

too frustrating to make it worth his time. Though he would write the music, trying to find people who were committed to playing it was difficult. The people he’s currently playing with as Patrick Kelly, though, are very committed to the effort, so he says there may be a change in status from solo pop/rock artist to group. In the meantime, he’s putting everything he’s got into building a name for himself locally with an eye to moving to a bigger market, like his brother has done, in the future. Treelines is currently based out of Vancouver and on the tour circuit. “Mostly the shows they’re on, it isn’t their tour,” said Kelly. “So it’s not like they can just add me in. If they can help me out, they will, but it’s not there yet.” Locally he’s been working with solo artist Jeff Piattelli to drum up work, but said he isn’t making a living at it yet.

Keeping tabs on drivers Police say they were working hard last month to keep Central Okanagan roadways as safe as possible. “Both static road checks and mobile targeted enforcement led to dealings with a large number of Okanagan motorists and resulted in many offences under the Motor Vehicle Act,” said Const. Steve Holmes. Some 47 motorists were taken off the roads under the new Immediate Roadside Prohibition legislation and received either three- or 90-day driving prohibitions. Twelve motorists were served 24-hour driving suspensions for either drug or alcohol impairment. Four drivers were charged for driving while prohibited. More than 74 vehicles were towed for various reasons and there were 642 violation tickets handed out for various offences under the Motor Vehicle Act, as well as 32 warnings. Police also seized drugs from eight vehicles. Volunteers from Mothers Against Drunk Driving also partnered with Central Okanagan Traffic Services members at several road checks and handed out many hundreds of pamphlets to motorists. “The efforts of the IRSU and COTS members contributed greatly to the safety of motorists this holiday season,” said Holmes.

New Year’s resolutions for gardeners W
SKI TIPS
elcome to another year of gardening. Even though most gardeners love getting out in the yard and doing the regular gardening chores, all of us have a few we tend to put on the back burner. Unfortunately, some chores just can’t be left too long without negative
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett ramifications, so I have put together a gardener’s New Year’s resolution list
to help you avoid these circumstances. 1. I promise to keep on top of the weeding. Remember the old saying is quite true: “One year’s seeding is seven years weeding.” There are two types of weeds in the garden. Annual weeds, such as pig weed and sow thistle, come back each year
#006
SKIING THE CHOP
If you’re like me, you’re a first chair kind of skier, most definitely a first chair skier when there’s a fresh blanket of fluffy white champagne powder bliss covering the mountain. If you have access to your own helicopter this is maybe not a concern of yours but, if you’re like the rest of us, have a look around in that lift line. It’s them, the first chair proletariat, they’re chomping at the bit to get up there and when they do they’re going to be charging the deep lines, ripping the secret stashes and snorting the powdery goodness out of every nook and cranny of the mountain. By the third chair ride sometimes you’re left with the shredded remnants, you’re left with the chop. So, what to do? Head for a non-fat no whip triple shot vanilla latte and call it a day? Well maybe get yourself a latte and take a breather but after that get back out there and enjoy! Here’s a few things to think about to help manage the chopped powder; You need to start with a strong platform and you can do this by going with a slightly narrower stance than what you might go with on a groomed run, squeeze your knees together a bit. What this does is it helps your skis and boots cut through the snow, it’ll stop your skis from getting pulled in different directions which will possibly end up in a Savard-ian spinorama (nice move when you’re one on one with a big slow defenseman but not so hot on the mountain). Go with one big platform to stand on vs. two skinny ones. Think mountain bike tire, not road bike. Next element to think about is energy (this is where the latte is helpful); get some spring into your legs. Coil up the springs towards the end of each turn and then extend and let them go into the middle of the next turn. This is going to add some bounce to your skiing and it’ll help get your skis up and out of the snow so you can get them started turning in the new direction. Last thing to keep in mind is the shape of your turn; it goes hand in hand with energy. A shorter turn shape will help with maintaining that energy but more importantly it will create some rhythm in your skiing. The hardest turns to make in powder and chopped snow are the first couple so if you’re traversing across the slope from one side to the other essentially you are making a first turn each time. Try and think of skiing from fall line to fall line (the middle of the arc of your turn) instead of completion to completion, you’ll get more flow to your run that way and it’ll maintain that rhythm.

from seed, so the idea is just don’t let them go to seed. If they do go to seed, some of it just sits in the soil dormant for as long as seven years, hence where that saying comes from. Perennial weeds come back from the roots each year. Weeds such as quack grass, mares tail and field bind weed (wild morning glory) are difficult to deal with, however, if you keep them from producing foliage the roots will diminish or sometimes even die. If you let them grow at all they will produce food for themselves and thrive. Whether its annual weeds or perennial, the best thing to do is to keep on top of them. 2. I promise to keep on top of my watering. I don’t mean to abuse the water, in fact by being cognizant of your plants needs and watering accordingly is better than having to flood the garden out when things get too dry. Many of us have automatic systems and sometimes these can spawn very inefficient watering practices. Most of us have been guilty of having our water come on during a period of rainy weather. All it takes is a little monitoring so the system comes on only when it is necessary. 3. I promise to get my seeding and planting done

in a timely manner. Getting the garden prepared and planted on time means so much when it comes to a successful harvest. For instance, I did not get my garlic planted last fall when I should have so my crop will be late this year and probably not as large. Spring planting of garlic is OK but it is so much better in the fall. The window for planting tomatoes is from April 20 to May 24 depending on the weather. Planting too early can be dangerous because of frost and planting too late results in losing the “first tomato on the block” contest. 4. I promise to keep my plants well fed this year. It is a gradual process when a plant is starving to death and sometimes we don’t even notice until it is too late. In particular, plants in containers. ••• And finally, don’t forget about the Northwest Flower and Garden Show this February. This is something every gardener should see. Heck, I’ve been six years in a row and I still enjoy every minute of the trip. Call Sunwest Tours 250-765-9016 for info and booking or go to www.sunwesttours.com.

W LIBERAL LEADERSHIP RACE
Monetary awards for teachers has merit, but just for votes E arlier this week, MLA and Liberal leadership hopeful Kevin Falcon tossed out the idea of monetary merit awards for teachers. It’s not a new concept and it’s not going to fly in a union-entrenched teach-
ers’ association, so why would he even bother to bring it up? Isn’t he just inciting more conflict with teachers as the province rolls into contract negotiations later this year? In a leadership cam-

paign where candidates are supposed to sign up as many party members as possible, it seems odd that Falcon would potentially alienate teacher recruits in his roundup. Well, I suppose the Liberals don’t view the teachers as a strong basis for support anyway. The relationship over the years can tastefully be described as combative. But, that’s not the point. This is a strategic, spirited campaign and Falcon has gained headlines with his announcement. He’s banking on looking more like a leader than a follower, by daring to step forward with a bold idea. In short, he’s showing he’s not afraid or weak. Will it work for him? Who knows? But, it’s worth a shot in a competitive race. The truth is many people, including teachers, would support the idea of merit pay for teachers. It’s an emotional po-
NUT SHELL
Shelley Nicholl sition and voters pay attention to education and health care issues more than anything. So, why not throw out a way to make the education system better that everyone can understand? We all want to support worthy teachers. People will listen, talk about it and generate conversations around “Falcon’s idea.” It creates more interest in the leadership campaign when a candidate can distance himself from the others. I don’t think merit pay for teachers will hit contract negotiations, but it’s an idea that stirs debate. Many people grumble teachers are paid too much as it is. I disagree. But, I’d also point out that, yes, some teach-
ers don’t earn their wages as they should, while other teachers, who really inspire young minds, should be paid double. Good teachers and those who spend countless hours doing extracurricular activities or who care enough to make extra time when a child needs support are priceless. We can all name teachers in our past whom made a difference in our lives. We can also remember those we wished we’d never had. When a teacher has failed to successfully teach a class, the teacher next in line has to pick up the slack. It’s twice as much work. Should they all be paid the same at the end of the day? No; it’s not fair. As in any other profession, teachers should be paid what they’re worth. But, that’s not the way unions work, not just for teachers. There’s the argument that merit pay will improve the educational sys-
tem. Since we all know that it is that person at the front of the classroom who makes the most significant difference if a child is going to learn, that makes sense. However, the teachers’ union has been quoted saying it won’t make one bit of difference to test scores and achievement rates, referring to other countries that have introduced merit pay with no significant change. I believe that’s true because excellent teachers will continue to be excellent and those who aren’t won’t try any harder. In effect, outstanding teachers already do it for the value they get when they make a difference in a child’s life. That won’t change. And, of course, even if test scores don’t change, that doesn’t mean a teacher shouldn’t get a bonus for working hard. Maybe, the teacher is the difference between a student staying in school or dropping out, which
isn’t recorded in stats anywhere. The more valuable concept, however, is to give teachers an inviting, supportive environment, so people who are the best resource for our children don’t get frustrated and go work somewhere else. Merit pay may make us feel better to support deserving teachers, but, let’s face it, this suggestion is more about rounding up leadership votes than helping teachers. Maybe, we should be asking Falcon—and the other leadership candidates—what they would concretely do to make the classrooms a better place for our children, in tandem with the teachers’ suggestions instead of in opposition. I’d suggested a splashy bonus for the candidate who comes up with that solution. Shelley Nicholl owns Mad Squid Ink, a professional writing service. madsquid@shaw.ca

One of the items forefront in the discussion is that it has taken small businesses much longer to recover from the 2008 recession than expected, but businesses are finally beginning to recover. It seems that the businesses that sell to other businesses are the hardest hit. Businesses that sell to consumers are recovering faster because consumer spending is still increasing and pretty much out of control. The main issues that small business owners are concerned about for 2011 are: finding new customers, managing cash flow, dealing with the economic uncertainty and maximizing profits. Most small businesses that needed financing to recover from the recession managed to find it. The main reasons for financing were to rebuild liquidity and get a handle on day to day working capital and cash flow. Others required financing for new technology or for expanding manufacturing or services. Most small businesses that have survived this recession believe that they were forced to become better businesses and that their planning ability has improved and that they are making smarter decisions. They also feel that they are in a stronger position today than they were before the recession. What has been the most successful for small businesses are those that look for advice from accountants, lawyers and networking or trade groups. These businesses have been able to use the concept of “people helping people” to get the re-

HST offers helpful attributes Banka from A17 their current situation rather than trying to find a new similar position because after a few years they just might find that they’ve arrived in another dead end job. Another topic that gets a lot of attention is the HST which has not been a great idea for consumers, but has been better for small businesses or HST registrants. Even though small businesses are paying more for purchases due to the increased tax, they are also getting more of a write-off from the HST that they would need to submit on their sales, so more cash is remaining in their pockets. The danger for accountants, in this case, would be the small business owner who decides to try to purchase personal items through the business for the HST writeoff, meaning that accountants need to spend more time analyzing the HST accounts. What about the dollar and the interest rate? The dollar is very close to parity with the U.S. dollar and seems to be driven by the oil prices. You’d think it would be driven by the price of gold instead of oil but I guess times have changed. The dollar is expected to remain strong throughout the year which will not be healthy for export companies. Since we are still recovering from the recession, it is expected that interest rates will not be raised until late 2011 and only then if growth has really accelerated. The growth of the Canadian economy is expected to remain about 2.4 per cent and inflation to stay at around two per cent. The U.S. is our main trading partner and their economy is still weak which affects our economy as well. On the technology front, there is a lot of new stuff happening such as the use of social media (Facebook or Twitter, for example) for business marketing and cloud computing is making itself known. It is felt that since these platforms are so new that they would be easy targets for hackers and virus spreaders. Some of you may be taking advantage of the ability of the new Blu-ray

Kelowna author donates book’s proceeds to Haiti earthquake relief Canadian children’s author Tanya Donahue teamed up with professional illustrator Tammie Lyon to produce her first children’s book, titled The Hooligans Have Landed. All proceeds from the first year book sales are being donated to continued aid relief efforts in Haiti, says Donahue, a resident of Kelowna. The book is slated for release today, the anniversary of the devastating quake that killed more than 230,000 people and resulted in 1,000,000 homeless. In The Hooligans, Donahue tackles the subject of international adoption and interracial families—a stark reality in the face of such disasters. “Not very long ago, adoption was never talked about,” Dona-
hue said, “It was kept quiet, leaving adoptees lost on matters of their own heritage and essentially causing them to feel alienated within their adoptive families. “We are seeing a very different reality today. Adoption and birth stories are openly discussed and celebrated, but there is still a huge gap in our literature when it comes to families like my own. My hope is that The Hooligans can help to bridge that gap.” In the book, Donahue takes her readers on an amazing journey in the adventures of Zander, Jack, Lulu and Adeline Hooligan who have just arrived in Kelowna. Zander, the oldest of the Hooligan children, desperately wants to recover his beloved books from the maze of box-
es. At first all goes without a hitch, until he discovers their new home is missing something crucial. ? Using their expertise and experiences here in Canada and abroad, Donohue and husband Scott, an electro-seismic technologist, have made it their life passion to do what they can not only to promote sustainable development and employment in Haiti, but to actually do something about it. She says her four children are the inspiration for the The Hooligans Have Landed, and the experience of raising an inter-racial family is her driving force. “The book is really the perfect marriage of our passion to make a difference in Haiti, with my passion to write and the reality of our family.”

SPORTS W WHL
Rockets hold firm at trade deadline Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Neither a buyer nor a seller, the Kelowna Rockets stuck with the status quo as Western Hockey League’s trade deadline passed without fanfare on Monday afternoon. With many of the parts for the future already in place and a team he believes is capable of a meaningful playoff run this spring, Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton chose not to tinker with his 24man roster. Besides, with the Western Conference race as a tight as a drum, most teams—including the Rockets—were hesitant to stir the pot. “It was as quiet a day as I can ever remember,” said Hamilton. “Our division is so tight and there are so many teams still in it, nobody was selling off. There weren’t too many mid-range type players available for a reasonable price, so there just wasn’t much movement.” At the top of the Rockets wish-list was a bigbodied centre but such a commodity in the WHL
is rare and comes at a hefty price. As far as fielding calls from other GMs, Hamilton said one Kelowna player garnered most of the attention. “I had calls about (captain) Tyson Barrie when I was in Buffalo for the world juniors, but I made it very clear we weren’t going to make a deal involving him,” Hamilton said. “If you take away your best players, your young guys don’t develop the way they should. (Rookie defence-
man) Damon Severson needs Barrie here. “What we have is what we have and we’re going to go the rest of the way with it.” With aspirations of hosting the 2013 Memorial Cup, Hamilton has been mindful about protecting his young corps of talent for the future. As for the present, the Rockets believe their chances of contending in 2010-11 are as realistic as almost any team in the league. For starters, Kelowna is confident in its goaltending where Adam Brown has, for the most part, been nothing short of spectacular. “One thing I know is that we have goaltending, and if you have that you have a chance to win every night no matter who you’re playing,” said Hamilton. Sporting a full and healthy roster, the Rockets displayed a glimpse of their potential in November when they won 10 of 11 games. They haven’t been nearly as sharp since with eight losses in the last 16 games, but most of those came in the absence of their head coach and three key players who were at the world jun-
ior hockey championship in Buffalo. “Now that Ryan (Huska) is back and we have all our guys back from the world juniors, we gotta have our whole team going every night,” he said. “It’s going to be a little more competitive in the second half, and we’re going to be fair and straight with the guys. If you take a night off, it doesn’t matter who you are, somebody else will play. We have to have everybody going to be in this thing.”
ROCKET SHOTS…
A trio of Rockets forwards were listed in Central Scouting’s mid-term rankings for the 2011 NHL entry draft. Shane McColgan was rated 102nd, Zach Franko was 105th, and Jessey Astles was ranked 192nd among North American skaters who are eligible for the draft… The Rockets (22-19-0-0) will host the Portland Winterhawks Friday and the Medicine Hat Tigers on Saturday. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
Argos drop OHA in major midget tourney final Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
A loss in the championship game clearly wasn’t the desired outcome for head coach Robert Dirk and his Okanagan Hockey Academy squad. Then again, OHA’s first ever appearance in the final of the Tim Hortons Daily Courier Kelowna International Major Midget Tournament represented another step forward for the Pentictonbased program. The Notre Dame Argos shut out OHA 4-0 on Sunday at Memorial Arena, giving the Wilcox, Saskatchewan college its first championship trophy at the Kelowna tourney since 2002. “You always want to win, but on the upside it is the first time our program has been in the final,” said Dirk. “We’ve been coming here for seven or eight years, so it’s another good step for us. We’ve been to the semifinals a couple of
times, we made it to the final this time…now we can look at coming here next year and winning it all.” The Argos got the jump in Sunday’s final with two first-period goals, then added singles in the second and third to send OHA down to defeat. N.D. netminder Connor Lacouvee was sharp with 30 saves. Still, Dirk felt his team was better than the 4-0 result. “I think it was a closer game than that,” he said. “We hit a few posts, they got some good goaltending and some key saves. We played well, but they’re a very good hockey team and that’s the way it goes sometimes.” For the Argos, their first time in the final game was a charm. In the past, it was the Hounds of Notre Dame who made their mark at KIMMT with 11 tournament titles, including eight in a row from 1988
to 1995. According to Argos coach Del Pedrick, the 2011 tourney was a positive experience for his team, both on and off the ice. “It’s a great tournament, it’s a good experience for our guys to come out here and have to play seven games in five days,” said Pedrick. “The committee did a great job and looked after both of our teams (Argos and Hounds) that were here this week. “We’re happy, there was a lot of good competition, our boys worked hard…OHA had a great tournament as well.” With Notre Dame and OHA squaring off, it marked a rare event at KIMMT as a pair of academic-based programs met in the championship game. In fact, four of the five education-oriented teams had winning records at the tournament. Winfield’s Pursuit of Excellence went 3-2, while

Owls to vault up in rankings Warren Henderson
Canadian team taking part.
STAFF REPORTER
If there were any doubts about whether the Kelowna Owls belonged with the big boys in B.C. high school basketball, then those were put emphatically to rest at the Legal Beagle Tournament at Terry Fox Secondary. Ranked No. 5 heading into the tournament, KSS tdrubbed No. 4 Vancouver College 88-52, then later stunned top-ranked Burnaby South 72-57 in Friday’s semifinal. Only the No. 2-rated R.C. Palmer Griffins found a way to stop the Owls, beating the depthladen Kelowna squad 7063 in the Saturday’s final. It’s expected R.C. Palmer will take over the tNo. 1 spot when the provincial AAA rankings are released on Wednesday night, while KSS will likely jump three positions to second. “The kids realize that they’re right there with all the top teams,� said Owls assistant coach Brad Heuser. “The question now is how much better can they get. We’ll see as the season progresses. Any of the top teams can beat any of the others on a given night.� In Saturday night’s final, Owls’ 6-foot-11 post Braxton Bunce helped his team rally from a 54-32 deficit against Palmer to make the game close. Bunce, a Grade 11 player, had 19 points and 20 rebounds and was named the top defensive player of the tournament. SeniorCharlie Lewthwaite added 15 points in final for the Owls, all on threepointers.

(32), and we just couldn’t get a call,� said Heuser. “The good thing is, we made it close and by the end of it Palmer was tired. It’s a game we just as easily could have won. “ Mitch Goodwin didn’t play in the last two games for KSS due to a back injury, but Heuser said the rest of the Owls stepped up in the absence of the talented Grade 11 guard. In the opener against fifth-ranked Van College, Bunce scored 14 and Goodwin had 13 points. KSS then played Kitsilano—an honourable
mention—in their second game and won 71-57. First-team all-star Deboe Truss set the pace for KSS with 24 points, while Tanner Leimert and first-team all-star Luke Hennig each had 11 points. Against Burnaby South in the semifinals, Truss racked up 21 points, Bunce had 15 and Lewthwaite had 14 as the Owls kept their No. 1-ranked opponents off balance throughout the 15-point win. KSS also grabbed a season-high 58 rebounds. “It was a real gutcheck for the guys against Burnaby and they really came through,â€? Heuser added. “Player for player (Burnaby South) is the most athletic team in the province and we were able to keep them off balance all night‌to do that without Mitchell (Goodwin) is pretty impressive. We really boarded really well and played a solid game from start to finish.â€?

The KSS girls played three tightly contested games at the MEI Senior Girls Basketball Tournament in Abbotsord and returned home with a 1-2 record.

In Game 2, the 13thranked Owls led by four points in the fourth quarter but lost 62-55 to South Kamloops. Jade Montgomery-Waardenburg had 24 points, while Jordan Ned had 11 rebounds, three steals, a blocked shot and two assists. In the their third game, the Owls led No. 10 Maple Ridge with a minute to but lost 53-51. Kelowna fell behind early after an injury to 6-foot-1 post Pomietlarz, but fought back to make a game of it. Jade Montgomery-Waardenburg had 17 points and Carly Carrado had eight points and five rebounds. Montgomery-Waardenburg was named to the first all-star team, while Beaudry picked up second team honours. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Warriors beaten but not defeated by rivalry with Vernon Vipers The Westside Warriors may have lost the season series to the Vernon Vipers but the B.C. Hockey League club likely isn’t too worried about it. Three of the last four times the Warriors have played the Vipers the games have gone to overtime including a 4-3 win by Westside on Friday night at Royal LePage Place. “I thought we played very well,� said Warriors coach Darren Yopyk after his team split a weekend home and home series with Vernon. “I thought we competed pretty hard and I think we’re right in the mix with some pretty good teams in our division.� A night after Kyle Singleton scored in overtime at Royal LePage Place to give Westside the win, the Warriors surrendered five goals in the first period to trail Vernon 5-0 after one. The Warriors then scored four second
period goals to get back into the game but dropped a 6-4 decision. The season series between Westside and Vernon ended with the Vipers winning four times, the Warriors winning once and one game ending in a rare BCHL tie. “We dug a pretty big hole in the second game falling behind by five but I thought we did a good job battling back,� said Yopyk. The Warriors played Saturday minus its top two centres as Alex Grieve dressed but didn’t see any action and Max French also missed the game. Both players are expected back in the lineup this weekend after nursing minor injuries. The Warriors will host Salmon Arm on Friday night before traveling to Merritt to play the Centennials on Saturday night. At 23-15-2-3 the Warriors are currently fourth in the BCHL Interior Con-

about the standings. I worry about playing well and for the most part I think we’ve been doing that lately.� The Warriors have 17 games remaining in the BCHL regular season, eight of them at home and nine on the road.

The Okanagan Rockets didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help their cause in the battle for the sixth and final playoff spot in the B.C. Major Midget League picking up just one point in two games against the North Island Silvertips. The Rockets earned a 2-2 tie on Saturday afternoon in Nanaimo with Harlan Orr and Josh Ellis scoring the goals. On Sunday, Okanagan came up empty as they were drubbed 6-0 by the Silvertips. The single point leaves the Rock-
ets (10-15-3) in seventh spot, three points back of the Northeast Chiefs. In addition, two teams behind them in the standings gained ground on the Rockets. The Fraser Valley Bruins are now just a point back of Okanagan, while the Silvertips sit three points back with two games in hand. The Rockets will have this weekend off from league play. They return to regular season action Jan. 22 and 23 at home to the Thompson Blazers.
Meanwhile, this Friday marks the beginning of the BCMMLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allstar weekend in Chase. Rockets goaltender Adam Todd and forward Jedd Soleway will play in the all-star game.

Late drama boosts Chiefs past Sicamous Eagles game winner as the Chiefs ended a two-game losing streak. Kelowna opened the weekend with a 4-0 loss Friday in Osoyoos, then dropped a 4-1 decision to Revelstoke on Saturday. The Chiefs (18-18-12), who have nine games remaining, are fourth overall in the Okanagan/ Shuswap Conference. Kelowna is five points back of third-place Kamloops with a game in hand. Thursday night, the Chiefs travel to Penticton to take on the Lakers.
the day, with a good push at the end we got the two points,” said assistant coach Grant Sheridan, whose Chiefs out shot the Eagles 47-28. “We had some power play time at the end of the game and we took advantage of that.” Sicamous led by three before the Chiefs finally got on the board on Tanner Clarkson’s power play goal at 11:30 of the third. Clarkson scored again five minutes later, then Dane Rupert tied it on the power play at 17:50. That set the stage for Andrusiak’s last-second
Being forced to rally from a 3-0 third-period deficit is a scenario the Kelowna Chiefs’ coaching staff would rather not see. Still, the KIJHL club was ecstatic with the final result as the Chiefs edged the Sicamous Eagles 4-3 Sunday at Rutland Arena. Landon Andrusiak capped off the furious comeback with dramatic power play marker with less than one second remaining in the third period. “We outplayed them pretty much the whole game, so at the end of

W DREAMLIFT DAY
Wendy’s ready to make dreams come true for challenged kids The B.C. Interior chapter of the Sunshine Foundation of Canada will again join forces with Wendy’s restaurants across the Okanagan for the annual Wendy’s DreamLift Day fundraiser on Jan. 26. This popular annual fundraiser raises money to pay for a group of disadvantaged children to be flown to Disneyland for a day. Local celebrities and dignitaries will be on hand to work behind the counter at the various Wendy’s outlets. All the proceeds from the day’s sales in the dining room and drive-thru, as well as staff, management and owner’s wages will be earmarked for the next Disneyland Dreamlift flight, which takes place biannually with the next trip planned for December of this year. The nine participating Wendy’s include Kam-
loops (North Kamloops, Sahali, Valleyview), Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna (Rutland and Highway 97 locations), West Kelowna and Penticton. The Sunshine Foundation of Canada is an independent national charity working to make dreams come true for children, between the ages of three and 18, who are challenged by severe physical disabilities or life-threatening illnesses. The foundation’s DreamLift to Disney program enables more than 80 special children to fly to Disneyland to enjoy a magical day of fun in the sun. This year, the Orange County (Cal.) Sheriff’s Department, who have helped with every DreamLift to Disneyland flight, will send five sheriff deputies here to assist with the DreaLift Day fundraiser.

University grad to talk about working at 52 jobs in 52 weeks “What should I do with my life?” That’s the question Sean Aiken asked himself as he created The One Week Job Project and embarked on an epic journey to find his passion. Not long out of university with a business degree in hand, he was about to try 52 jobs in 52 weeks. His first gig was literally jumping off a bridge, as a bungee operator in B.C. From there he traveled across Canada and the United States, reinventing himself as a firefighter, aquarium host, radio DJ, martial arts instructor,

He had a 4.0 gradepoint average and was voted class valedictorian, but after graduation struggled with uncertainty about what to do for a career, and what he wanted to do with his life. His mother suggested teaching. His older sister told him to apply for an entry-level
corporate position. His father said, “It doesn’t matter what you do, just make sure it’s something you’re passionate about.” Taking his father’s advice to heart, Aiken hit the road to discover his passion by trying 52 jobs in 52 weeks. Wherever he could find work, he’d go there, find a couch to crash on and immerse himself in whatever profession was at hand. And then he’d move on. He realized he hadn’t started on his own journey. He’d started a movement. Thousands of people began
following his journey, looking to him for inspiration in their own lives. University students were relieved to find others uncertain of their careers. Baby boomers wrote how they’d found the courage to change their jobs, or go back to school and discover their passions once again.

W THE WORKPLACE
What is so personal about your employees’ whereabouts?
T
he advent of personal information legislation across Canada has provided employees with a mechanism to challenge their employer’s monitoring of their activities. In at least one context, however, employers’ use of monitoring technology has been upheld. Employers operating fleets of vehicles surely appreciated the development of global positioning systems (GPS) and mobile data terminals (MDTs). The effective use of such monitoring systems has allowed employers to hone the efficiency of their mobile fleets. They also, of course, have allowed close monitoring of the drivers’ whereabouts and (no surprise here) employees have sought ways to push back against that form of electronic surveillance. A decision released by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has addressed a complaint by a driver of a municipal transportation service available to mobility-reduced citizens. The driver objected tto the installation of the MDT and GPS devices on vehicles he drives. k He alleged that the employer was improperly collecting his personal information, namely his daily movements while on the job. Specifically, the driver alleged that the transit organization was using MDT/GPS for the follow-
YOU WORK HERE
Robert Smithson ing reasons: to keep track of his time throughout the day; to make sure he did not take a break or lunch; to time every pick-up and drop-off, and to track his route and travel time. The privacy commissioner determined that the information in dispute was collected and used by the employer strictly for an appropriate purpose, that of providing an efficient service to clients.
‘‘
IN AT LEAST ONE CONTEXT, HOWEVER, EMPLOYERS’ USE OF MONITORING TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN UPHELD.
According to the employer, the purpose for using MDT/GPS was to increase efficiency and the quality of the service. For example, an MDT immediately indicates to drivers any scheduling changes, eliminating the need for dispatchers to contact drivers directly. The GPS system was used for route scheduling and service adjustments, and for more accurate ve-
hicle-arrival information for clients. Emergency service was accessed simply by pressing a button, as the GPS can give the vehicle’s exact location. The federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) allows an organization (subject to certain restrictions) to collect, use, or disclose personal information for purposes that a reasonable person would consider are appropriate in the circumstances. The privacy commissioner deemed the personal information collected by the employer not to be sensitive and determined that it was information the employer had legitimate interests in collecting (in order to effectively deliver their transportation service). The commissioner also noted that the collection of the information was not particularly privacy-invasive, and repeated the questions which must always be asked to determine whether the use of technology to collect personal information is in compliance with PIPEDA: • Is the measure demonstrably necessary to meet a specific need and is it likely to be effective in meeting that need? • Is the loss of privacy proportional to the benefit gained? • Is there a less privacy-invasive way of achieving the same end? There was one ele-
ment of the findings made which left me scratching my head. The commissioner’s reasons are devoid of any apparent analysis of whether the data being collected by the employer via the MDT and GPS systems amounted to “personal information” for PIPEDA’s purposes. That, of course, is the threshold question which must be answered whenever a person complains about the collection, use, storage, or disclosure of his or her “personal information.” In this instance, I fail to see how any of the data collected by the employer amounted to personal information. The data pertained to the location of the employer’s vehicles. Even if that data also indirectly suggests the whereabouts of employees, in my view that fact doesn’t render the information “personal” to the employee. Put another way, I fail to see how an employee’s whereabouts, while on the job, constitute his or her “personal information.”

W ENTREPRENEURS
Ready to make the leap to self employment I â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; recently spent some time visiting with a mix of existing, aspiring and budding entrepreneurs including some Okanagan College soonto-be graduates. I had a great experience listening to the stories and seeing the excitement and determination in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. It is a magic that inspires me everyday to delve into my own sphere of reference of the entrepreneurial spirit. Most magazines and newspapers printed today make some reference to entrepreneurs or entrepreneurship. To retrace, entrepreneurship is derived from the French word entreprendre, which means to undertake, to pursue opportunities or to fulfill needs or wants through innovation and creativity. In simple terms, entrepreneurship is the creation of a new venture. Every business or venture, whether it succeeds or fails, begins with that sense of entrepreneurial spirit.
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young The following comments will give you a better feel for what that means: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Entrepreneurs are the dream-makers, the risk takers who dare to turn their dream into their reality.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Realizing the vision becomes everything to an entrepreneur. They believe fully that what they will create will have a genuine impact on the lives of othersâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Entrepreneurs, contrary somewhat to a general belief, are in their venture only to accumulate wealth for themselves. They define their success according to the value their venture creates. They seem to see money as a resource, not as a possession.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone can make
moneyâ&#x20AC;ŚPeople, the world over, respect creativity; they tend to measure you by what you create, not by what you own.â&#x20AC;? These quotations from Canadian academics and business folks confirm in my mind the statistics, surveys and research studies that show Canadians have begun an entrepreneurial revolution of sorts. Entrepreneurship is and has become an accepted and respected career choice by people from all walks of life. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tackle the appeal of self-employment. Surveys have found that many Canadians want â&#x20AC;&#x153;to be their own boss.â&#x20AC;? Fifty per cent of the respondents to one survey who were self-employed stated that if they had a choice they would prefer to own their venture. In comparison, only 42 per cent said they would prefer to work for someone else. Younger Canadians are more likely to find the
concept of self-employment more appealing. Sixty per cent of one survey respondents in eastern Canada aged 18 to 34 would rather be selfemployed. And guess what? Many of these Canadians who have exhibited a propensity toward the entrepreneurial spirit also have some very clear ideas about the types of ventures they would like to start. Responses range from opening a retail outlet, to a construction firm, to becoming a consultant. Last Friday, when visiting with some Okanagan College students, I took great pleasure in listening to a young 20-yearold female horseperson intent on completing a business degree. She and her father want to create a manufacturing entity that she could be part of prior to and upon graduation for low technology products for the horse industry. The excitement in the voice of the young woman told the story of passion with the animals she loves and road she may follow when leaving her educational milestone. Potential entrepreneurs are motivated, as
SURVEYS HAVE FOUND THAT MANY CANADIANS WANT â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;TO BE THEIR OWN BOSS.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
I have stated before, by a strong desire to be the captain of their destiny and are not discouraged by the prospect of long hours, or risks to longterm job security. Yes I know, statistics can present an unpleasant image where eight of 10 start-up ventures may fail within a five-year period. Still, thousands of Canadians continue to launch their â&#x20AC;&#x153;dream machineâ&#x20AC;? every year. And many more will begin the process of starting their entrepreneurial venture, but will never get as far as the actual start-up stage, convinced by circumstance or their own internalization that what they perceived was an entrepreneurial opportunity for them was, in fact, not the case. Nearly every entrepreneur Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met in my life has a purposeful and

Kelowna area housing starts increased to 957 homes in 2010 from 657 homes the previous year, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Both detached home and multi-family starts were up from 2009 levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detached housing was the focus of new home construction last year,â&#x20AC;? noted CMHC market analyst Paul Fabri. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lower lot prices and lower construction costs enabled builders to compete more effectively with the existing home market and attract more new home buyers in 2010.â&#x20AC;? Favourable mortgage interest rates were also a key factor contributing to increased detached home starts. Rental apartment construction accounted for the largest share of multifamily starts. Lingering inventories of new, completed and occupied units constrained apartment condominium construction in 2010. Kamloops and Penticton also recorded higher levels of new home construction in 2010.

Although Kia and Jamie Robertson have fantastic colour sense, they likely won’t be sporting the latest free designer duds on the red carpet this week as they rub shoulders with the “it” crowd.

W CD REVIEWS
Decent artists overlooked during holiday release mayhem NATASHA BEDINGFIELD: STRIP ME (EPIC)
The recording labels went nuts this past Yuletide season by releasing so much new music that a lot of otherwise big stars sort of got overlooked. This new album from Natasha Bedingfield and the others that follow— INXS and KT Tunstall— all got lost in the mix and more or less bombed sales wise. Bedingfield’s last album hit No. 13 in Canada and spawned the huge hit titled Unwritten but this new release didn’t even hit the top 100 in the USA. She has hired red hot producer Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic fame to produce Strip Me but the title doesn’t exactly describe the music. This is a sleek and fully-produced album of polished pop/ dance/rock that often features larger than life tech drums. Songs such as Little Too Much and All I Need (with Kevin Rudolph) are contemporaneous with a lot of the other women who are enjoying big hits with club music right now but it just doesn’t
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell seem to be happening for Bedingfield. Her career might have been shot in the foot by so, so many new albums that were released in the last couple of months. B-
KT TUNSTALL: TIGER SUIT (VIRGIN/EMI)
KT (as in Katie) Tunstall’s new album fared a little better with a top 40 placement in the charts but it soon faded away and the album featured no hit—not even a minor one when you consider how huge her Black Horse And A Cherry Tree was on multi-airwave for-
mats. I found Tiger Suit to be an album a bit at odds with itself. Tunstall is trying to be taken too seriously as a singer, writer with an artier turn while she also adds a lot of verve and viscera to her sound. But too many of these songs are uninvolving and repetitive—repeating the song title for four minutes is hardly enthralling writing—but I would look for Tunstall to land on her feet with her next album. She is too talented to be a one-hit wonder. Meanwhile, too many
of the songs on Tiger Suit sound sketchy and forced. C+
INXS: ORIGINAL SIN (SONY)
This album didn’t register on any chart I could find, making me wonder if this was released only in INXS’s Oz and other old hot spots for the band such as Canada and the U.K.? Anyway, there is also probably a little confusion as to this CD title. INXS released a hits collection with this same title while this version of Original Sin is a tribute album by

To celebrate this, Columbia records has reissued large parts of his back catalogue where, given the added space of the CD format over yesteryear’s vinyl LPs, several unreleased tunes have been added to many of Brubeck’s past groundbreaking albums.

There are three fabulous vocal performances from luminaries like Louis Armstrong, Carmen McCrae and Jimmy Rushing (long associated with Count Basie). Of course Brubeck’s signature tune is here with the unforgettable Count Five that has proven a superb conduit for generations of new listeners into the jazz idiom.

Okanagan gets even more A-OK awesome in 2011 Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR
Happy New Year! Although the holidays are nice, it’s always nice to get back to the real world. And let’s face it; I’m sure no one even wants to look at a turkey until Thanksgiving and that whiff of egg nog that you took from the carton you found in your fridge on New Years Day brought up enough tidings and joy to hold you over for another year. The New Year is al-
ways full of new beginnings so why should this column be any different? 2011 marks the first year that AwesomeOkanagan.com joins the world of print media. What is AwesomeOkanagan.com, you say? Let me tell you: We love the Okanagan, it’s plain and simple. We dig new opportun-
ities and positive growth, the arts and culture, the food and fashion. We’re all about the music and all over sunny walks on our favourite trails and beaches. So why wouldn’t we tell the world how awesome our Okanagan is? AwesomeOkanagan. com is a blog site that focuses on everything that makes the Okanagan so—
awesome (for lack of a better word). From our lakes to our snow-covered peaks and everything in between, there’s just so much out there to take in and experience that we want to share it with everyone. The blog site has features such as: • Why We Love It Here—a glimpse into the day-to-day life of some of our most creative locals • Focus Fridays featuring totally awesome pictures taken from around the Okanagan, “
• Food & Drink featuring what else, of course, but local, sustainable and invigorating wine and dine locales and much, much more. So what is a website doing in a newspaper? Maybe it’s just the fact that we like to talk, but mainly it’s the fact that we want to get all of this awesome “Okaknowledge” out there to you, the public! Each week we will have a different feature, much like the website. But unlike the website, each feature will con-
tain more content that is only made available to Capital News readers. That means that you can still find all the great posts on AwesomeOkanagan.com but for the Capital News feature post you’ll have to look right here every Wednesday for all the juicy info. We’ll be featuring music, events, local hot spots, health and wellness and more in the coming weeks. And the best part about all of it is that it’s all 100 per cent local because that’s the way we like it
here in the awesome Okanagan, isn’t it? If AwesomeOkanagan.com is calling your name and you want to become a local contributor then visit the website for more information on how to keep the awesome train rolling. We’re always looking for creative minds, positive thinkers, or those who just love where they live. Everything’s A-OK!

Musicians need fans to win BCIMA People’s Choice award With the 2011 B.C. Interior Music Awards taking place in April organizers are urging artists to get themselves nominated in time for the Jan. 31 deadline. The nomination process is designed this year to be self-appointed in order to streamline the qualifying procedures. Just go to the www.BCIMA.org website for the link and criteria. Once artists determine their eligibility, they can simply nominate themself for the appropriate categories. Here’s where the fans come in—they need to nominate their favourite local artists to be eligible for the People’s Choice Award. This is the only fan-nominated award this year but it again carries weight in that the top six votes at the end of January will proceed to the Astral Radio site for the public to choose a winner. The B.C. Interior Music Awards, developed in 2008, recognizes achievement and excellence, with a vision to develop, promote and celebrate the BC Interior music industry. The BCIMAs were proud presenters of the Blues category at the Breakout West (Western Canadian Music Awards) event held this past October in Kelowna. The third annual BCIMAs will take place April 23 at the Kelowna Community Theatre with winners in 27 categories. The BCIMAs title sponsor is Astral Radio. The B.C. Interior has so much to offer in terms of music, artists and creativity and the BCIMA’s take pride in the promotion of many of the province’s leading and emerging artists. Which artists will be
taking to the stage this year to deliver their acceptance speech? While the Special Achievement Award is awarded on merit of achievements, the 25 other categories are decided by panels of industry professionals. Only the coveted People’s Choice Award will be determined by the artist’s own grassroots efforts. They can utilize their fan bases through social media to get out the vote in the one category where
it counts—the People’s Choice Award at www. BCIMA.org. After the Jan 31 nominations deadline, fan votes determine the top six artists to be included in Astral Radio’s online People’s Choice contest. These top six will then be featured on 22 of Astral Radio’s B.C. Interior stations, where again the public will decide, by vote, which of thee top six will win. “Astral Radio is proud
to lend support in the ever changing music industry as a key supporter of the 2011 BC Interior Music Awards on April 23. The People’s Choice contest can provide a boost in the winning artists’ performances and airplay all over the province.” Mark Burley, group brand director for Astral Radio, said in a press release. The award has proved to be a great way to establish artists radio and public identity. Andrew Allen
won the People’s Choice for 2009 and has just received a two-year Epic Records deal. A nominee in the 2010 artist pool is Leah West, a B.C. resident since 2005. Leah is already leading the pack in marketing herself through her fan base. Out of over 858,000 artists on Reverbnation, she is No. 4 on the pop charts in Canada and No. 136 in the world. “I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished in the music industry thus
far.” said West. “When people tell me they are hearing my songs all over the world, it’s elating! However, I know I still have much to learn and accomplish in music, so the recognition from the BCIMA is truly humbling. It only makes me want to work harder at my craft and inspires me to keep following my dreams.” West is also an accomplished actress, visual artist and photograph-

er. “One only has to look at previous nominees and winners of the BCIMA Awards to see that there is no shortage of singers, songwriters, musicians, producers, engineers, studio owners, talent agencies, programmers, graphic designers, and more of all different experience levels, styles, and backgrounds. To be nominated for the BCIMA Awards is to be amongst an elite group of talent and it is a huge honour for me.”

William passed away at the age of 86 on January 7, 2011 after a courageous battle with cancer. He is survived by his loving wife Josephine (Jozica) daughters Bojana(Ole), Helena(Randy), Jenny and his grandchildren Peter, Mathew, Jesse, Sabina and Katerina as well as many close family members in Slovenia including Vilma, Marija, Zmago, Marijan, Ugo, Sabina, and all their children. William was born in Alexandria, Egypt on September 9, 1924 to parents Alojzij and Helena Sulich. He spent his childhood years in between Prvacina, Slovenia and Egypt. During the Second World War he served from 1940-1943 with the Indian Eighth Division British Army as a Crusader Tank Driver under General Montgomery. After the North African Campaign he helped to liberate Yugoslavia, especially the Primorska region, in Slovenia. He later became a Wood Technologist Specialist and worked for Kli in Logatec, Slovenia where he met Josephine. Before venturing to Canada Josephine and William spent several years in Italy. They came to Canada in 1960 where they settled in Calgary, Alberta. English was the last of seven languages William learned and he worked very hard to support his family. William eventually became an Animal Research Technologist at the University of Calgary’s Medical Research Center. Upon retirement he and Josephine opened Josephine’s Furs and had a successful business for over 15 years. In 1990 William retired for a second time and moved to the Okanagan where he and Josephine enjoyed their retirement in Kelowna, British Columbia. William found the Okanagan to be very similar to his beloved Prvacina where he found great joy growing his bountiful produce. William loved fishing, enjoyed taking tours to the United States with close friends, and especially enjoyed his trips back to Slovenia. He was a good Bocce player as well as a member and treasurer for the Kelowna Bocce Club. During his time as the club Treasurer, he was instrumental in the expansion of the Club on Rose Ave. William was also a part of the Slovenian Society of the Okanagan where he enjoyed volunteering for many years as a board member. William’s family would like to extend their most gracious thanks to William’s care givers including Dr. McIntosh, the Palliative Care Team, and the Central Okanagan Hospice House who made his last weeks comfortable. There will be a celebration of life on January 13 at 11:00 am at the chapel of First Memorial Funeral Service, 1121 Sutherland Avenue Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Okanagan Cancer Society. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com.

GIRARD, MARCEL
(July 14, 1922 - Jan 10, 2011) Passed away peacefully at Village at Smith Creek, West Kelowna, BC with wife Colette by his side. He was 88 years of age. Born in St-Simeon, Charlevoix-Est, Quebec, Marcel later moved west to homestead in Codesa, Alberta with his family. At 18 he enrolled into the Canadian armed forces where he served four years in World War II as a Corporal. Returning to Alberta, Marcel danced his way into the heart of his future bride, Colette. This would mark the beginning of a happy marriage spanning 56 years. Five children: Denise, Annette, Ronald, Rene and Marc would make this marriage complete. Marcel would later move his family to the Peace River Country; he worked for Canadian Coachways in Dawson Creek, BC as a mechanic for seven years. In 1964, the family moved to Chetwynd, BC and purchased the Chetwynd Confectionary which they successfully operated for twenty seven years. He was a proud member of Branch 258 of The Royal Canadian Legion and Elks Branch 500. Marcel was an active minor hockey dad, transporting players to tournaments throughout the Peace River Country. The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff at Village at Smith Creek for their professional, loving care towards Marcel.
