▼ DRAG RACING
Veteran driver killed in crash Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Friends within a Kelowna drag racing club are in shock following the high speed crash that claimed the life of a one of their most experienced racers. “It was a horrible accident and everybody is distraught,” said Bill Boult, a representative of the Okanagan Auto Sports Club that held the ill-fated race Saturday, at Thunder Mountain Raceway. “He’s held every position within the club over the years and he’ll be missed by a lot of people. He was generally, just Mr. Racer.” The 66-year-old driver—whose name has yet to be released—was behind the wheel of a new front engine dragster, practising for a race that was to be held in Mission later this month, “just getting time in the car” when the unusual and fatal chain of events played out. The car sped by track timers at a rate of 218 kilometres per hour, but when it came time to slow down it continued to accelerate, until it left the track. A standardized chute also didn’t deploy as the car left the track and struck trees and rocks, shredding the vehicle’s exterior. The passenger cage remained intact, despite the violence of the crash, and was found more than 300 feet away from the track with the driver inside. “For what reason it didn’t slow down, we don’t know,” said Boult, noting the car had recently been certified for meeting industry standards. “We may never know.” Firefighters and paramedics pulled the driver out of the wreckage and he was airlifted to hospital in Kelowna but died a short time later. “In a lot of ways there were a lot of things done to make it good for (him), but the speed he left the track…I don’t know what they could have done,” he said. Kelowna RCMP and the coroner continue to investigate the accident.

Initial job action by teachers already worrying parents There are rumblings of concern among parents in the Central Okanagan after the first week of

school under B.C. teachers’ strike conditions. Central Okanagan Parent Advisory Council president Liz Therres says she’s sent out emails to the parent advisory
councils and COPAC reps. And while feedback was sparse, Therres says some parents are definitely questioning how good the strike really is for children.
“It’s just that everybody is feeling that the kids are kind of caught in the middle,” said Therres, noting her data is a bit limited as her first districtwide meeting to officially
meet with parents will not be for another week. While the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have consistently stated the job action they have undertaken is not meant to disrupt
student learning, Therres said that from her vantage point, any job action will always be more disruptive than nothing at all. Cancelling recess, for example, will be very hard

Sockeye salmon coming back to the Okanagan Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
When nine hydro-electric dams were built on the Columbia River in the last century, no consideration was given to the impact that would have on native people in the Okanagan Valley who depended on the annual sockeye salmon run for their livelihood. After all, the run held no commercial importance to Canada, even though it played a major role in the traditions and culture of the Okanagan Nations. Since 2004, the Okanagan Nation Alliance fisheries department has been working with governments, utilities and other agencies on both sides of the international boundary to restore fish passage for salmon up the Columbia system into the Okanagan, past McIntyre Dam and Okanagan Falls and ultimately into Okanagan Lake. Howie Wright, fisheries biologist and project manager, reported to the annual general meeting of the Okanagan Basin Water Board Friday that last year was the first year a recreational fishery for sockeye salmon was opened in Osoyoos Lake, where a record run returned to spawn in the system. Instead of the 100,000 forecast, 300,000 sockeye returned to the trans-bound-
Howie Wright ary lake. Last year was also the first time that sockeye returned almost all the way to Skaha Lake, but the dam at Okanagan Falls barred their way. This year, 3,000 sockeye salmon made it over the dam at Okanagan Falls, because the water in the Okanagan River was still so high this year when they returned. Wright expects they will spawn in the Okanagan River channel at Penticton, and he expects they will find their way into Okanagan Lake as well. “It’s pretty exciting,” he admits. After all the years the ONA and government ministries have worked to eliminate the barriers to fish passage, overwintered eggs and released fry into Skaha Lake, it’s gratifying to see the stocks begin to come back. “We had to be persistent and we had to use science,” he says. “We’re balancing indigenous and Western science to manage, protect
and restore fisheries resources and habitat,” he says. Now that a recreational fishery for sockeye salmon in the Okanagan has returned, he says the benefits from fishing license fees should go back into salmon restoration work. “We need a process to reconcile the revenuesharing,” he said. For the sockeye salmon, it’s a 1,000-kilometre journey back into the Okanagan Valley from the Pacific Ocean up the Columbia River system, but the fish remain in very good shape, he notes. That’s likely in part because it’s an elevation gain of only about 300 metres over the journey. The ONA now have a licence to harvest and sell sockeye salmon from this system, and they’re marketing them through select restaurants and retail stores, partly as an awareness campaign to share the story about the return of the sockeye. Wright says many people are surprised to be able to access fresh, local sockeye salmon, and the products are OceanWise certified by the Vancouver Aquarium program which ensures the fish are caught using a sustainable method of fishing and stock management. “Consumers will know where their fish came from,” said Wright. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

PAWS FOR A CAUSE…Kelowna dog owners turned out in force again this year for the annual
Paws for A Cause fundraiser, Sunday at City Park, in support of the local SPCA. This year’s objective was to raise $75,000 in pledges and walk organizers were happy to report the final total was $76,000.
City council pay grades reviewed Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna council has adopted the recommendations of a report on how much the mayor and councillors are paid. That report cited that the $89,458 base salary the mayor currently receives is substantially lower than the average for Lower Mainland mayors ($97,124) but slightly higher than the average salary mayors of major cities in the B.C. Interior receive ($87,458). As for councillors, while a similar situation occurs, the disparity is
even greater at both ends. The average Lower Mainland councillor receives a base salary of $39,992 compared with the $31,310 a councillor in Kelowna receives. Councillors in major cities in the Interior receive an average base salary of $28,421. The figures are from a report on municipal compensation for B.C. elected officials conducted for the City of Abbotsford. In Kelowna, during the last year of the three-year term for council members, a remuneration task force is struck using selected members of the public to review what the may-

or and councillors are paid. It recommends changes. If approved, the changes take effect after the upcoming election. Earlier this year, the task force recommended that until 2014, there not be the usual annual cost of living increase. It did, however, recommend a cost-shared health benefits plan for the mayor be adopted, with the city paying $1,700 per year towards the cost of the premium. Those recommendations were adopted at the Monday afternoon council meeting . awaters@kelownacapnews.com

But drivers are asked, if possible to use Gordon Drive instead of Pandosy during the work. KGH will remain open and operating during the road closure.

Water board proves resourceful Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
A total of $675,000 was received from senior governments in the past year for local water projects, one indication of how successful the unique model of the Okanagan Basin Water Board is at getting things done. Executive director Anna Warwick Sears was reporting at the annual general meeting of the OBWB Friday, reviewing programs from the past year and looking forward. “We’re well-structured to pool money from local government and to draw funding from senior government,� she commented. The board is made up of representatives from the three regional districts in the basin, the Okanagan Nation Alliance, Water Supply Association of B.C. and Water Stewardship Council, a technical advisory committee to the board. Instituted in 1968, the board provides leadership
in a time of change, Warwick Sears told those attending the AGM; collaborative governance, which is ideal during change. “The Okanagan is recognized as a unique ecosystem in Canada which could face serious water shortages,� explained Warwick Sears. Services are provided through its water management program, which includes an annual grant program to encourage improved quality and water conservation, the sewage facilities assistance grant program and Eurasian Watermilfoil control program. In collaboration with Natural Resources Canada and the provincial environment ministry, the board is working on a major hydrologic connectivity study to help evaluate how water use by one community affects downstream water availability. Groundwater monitoring wells throughout the valley are also being constructed to fill gaps in data about the ‘hidden’
water stored beneath the ground. It’s a partnership involving four senior government ministries and local governments as well. Stormwater management has been a focus for the board this past year, with a two-day workshop called From Rain to Resource which showcased speakers describing innovative new ways to manage stormwater more sustainably. A homeowner’s guide to best management of stormwater is also being put together by the board. The water board is very involved in World Water Week activities every year and this year held an online contest to involve kids in learning more about Okanagan water. In addition to the five regular office staff, the board brought in a student this summer who put together a number of videos on the board’s work, which can now be viewed on the website. In the coming year,
Warwick Sears said the OBWB is working with Environment Canada on a lake evaporation study to determine how much water is lost from the lake’s surface each year, as well as expanding streamflow monitoring. Drought plans throughout the basin are also being put together, in order to reduce the chance of conflicts when water is in short supply. The next big event is the Osoyoos Lake Water Science Forum Sept. 18 to 20, where scientists from both sides of the border will discuss with the public studies which will become part of the decision made in the next couple of years by the International Joint Commission on control of the basin’s water at the border. That’s being co-sponsored with the IJC, governments on both side of the border and the Osoyoos Indian Band Development Corporation.

Jury selection for Snelson trial underway Around 300 queued up Monday to find out if they’d be eligible jurors for what’s bound to be one of Kelowna’s most high profile murder trials. Jury selection in the trial of Neil Snelson started at 9 a.m., and was slated to run through the first two
days of the week. The Kelowna father is accused in the cold-case murder of Jennifer Cusworth. Her body was discovered dumped in a ditch beside Swamp Road Oct. 16, 1993, following a party on Richter Street the night before.
l o o h c S o t Back Special
Snelson, a local Christian musician who was actively involved in the First Lutheran Church, was arrested in 2010 after new DNA evidence provided a break in the case. The trial will start once jury selection is complete, and is scheduled to continue for four weeks.

City draws in animation studio Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna has earned the attention of an animation studio that’s worked with everyone from Nickelodeon to Warner Bros., and next year when they plant roots in the OkanaganValley, new job opportunities are expected to bloom. Vancouver-based animation studio Bardel Entertainment Inc. announced Monday a decision to expand operations into Kelowna. “It is a great opportunity to reach a new talent pool of animators, work with industry leaders such as the Nickelodeon Animation Studio and to provide the alternative of a smaller-town lifestyle for our crews and their families,” said company CEO Delna Bhesania. Kelowna’s small-town charms were only part of the equation, how-
ever. The economic case for the secondary location came from the benefits of having an international airport and access to the regional tax incentives provided by the B.C. government, explained Tracey Mack, the company’s director of development. A growing talent pool in the area, which is made evident with companies such as Club Penguin, helped as well. That said, nobody can say when the business will open its doors or how many jobs will come with the satellite office. “Right now we don’t know,” said Mack. “It’s early days and a lot of it will depend on the talent we can find to work there—the more talent we can find, the more work we can send up there.” Bardel is currently in discussions with Okanagan College in Ke-
New home starts reflect pricing realities Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reported 82 housing starts in the Kelowna area in August 2011 compared to 94 housing starts the same month a year ago. Detached home construction matched levels recorded in August 2010. “Demand has shifted away from higher-priced homes as developers and builders focus new housing projects on more price conscious home buyers,” noted CMHC market analyst Paul Fabri. “Lower construction costs have enabled builders to better meet the needs of value conscious home buyers,” he added.

In British Columbia, August’s seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban housing starts moved lower to 23,800 units from 28,100 units in the previous month.

Kelowna is once again putting the onus on residents to stop it from borrowing $7 million for two municipal infrastructure projects. The city will use its “alternative approval process,” a form of reverse billing, to gain approval to borrow $3 million for a UV water disinfection facility and a transmission
main and $4 million to upgrade an electrical system. The province has given the city the power to use the controversial process. It requires 10 per cent of eligible voters in the city (11,850) to sign a petition to force it to hold a vote on the borrowing proposals after a decision has been made to proceed. The petition deadline will be Oct. 24. A similar business
practice used by private companies in B.C. was made illegal in the late 1990s by the former NDP government. However, local governments are allowed to use it for large public borrowing projects to avoid the cost of holding a formal vote. Using it allows the municipality to proceed with borrowing without specific public approval. As long as the number

Watch for the bears With spawning salmon and ripening fruit throughout the Central Okanagan, more reports are coming in of bears in parks. Evidence of bears and sightings have occurred at Mission Creek Regional Park, along the Mission Creek Greenway and in Hardy Falls Regional Park on the Westside. Bears are also known to frequent other regional parks like Kalamoir, Glen Canyon, Rose Valley, Cedar Mountain, Bertram Creek and Woodhaven Nature Conservancy. “With higher elevation food sources declining and fruit crops ripening in the valley below,” said Central Okanagan Regional District spokesman Bruce Smith, “this is the time of year that we start seeing more bears in some of our regional parks. “As the bear activity increases, we post signs advising all park users that the animals are active in the area.” Smith advises to reduce your chance of meeting a bear while hiking, you should travel in a group, make noise or carry something that makes noise. “During the fall fish spawning season, it’s not unusual for park visitors to encounter bears along local creeks and rivers, because the fish are a plentiful and easy food source,” Smith said. “If you see a bear, give it plenty of space and stay well away from it. People should respect all bears and avoid encounters with them whenever possible.”

Parents Campus rattled by stabbing voicing concerns Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Teachers from A1 periods of sitting still. “(The kids) are in the classroom for a long time and they need to kind of run off some energy,” said Therres. The Central Okanagan School District was the first in the province to cancel recess as a result of the job action saying the district’s staff simply couldn’t handle sliding away from their own jobs partway through the day to cover off teacher supervision duties without major losses on the administrative front. Teachers provincewide have pulled all services beyond basic teaching until such time as a deal on a contract is reached, and as of press time Monday, the two sides were still at loggerheads. Meanwhile, Hugh Gloster, the Central Okanagan School District superintendent, said the district has not seen much by way of complaint— in fact, it was just the opposite. While one parent had complained about the new timetable—which eliminates a 15-minute recess in the afternoon but ensures teachers are still getting students out for a mandatory 30-minutes of activity in the morning—two parents had phoned to say they prefer the new timetable. “I’m sure there’s a lot of other parents who have been waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak, to see how this plays out,” Gloster said. “But so far it’s been very smooth.” Altogether the superintendent said he is very impressed by all of the school district’s staff and teachers who managed to make the first week of school as normal as possible for students.
Stabbings at UBC Okanagan rattled the calm of campus life over the weekend, prompting school officials to offer reassurances that the violent outburst won’t likely be repeated. “Right now, the incident is under police investigation, so we are limited in what we know or can say,” said Doug Owram, deputy vice-chancellor and principal of the UBC Okanagan campus. “It appears it was not a random act and the people were known to each other. This is the sort of incident that’s beyond what is acceptable and normal— it’s a rare event.” What’s starting to look like a fight that started in the city, then spilled onto the campus, came to police attention at around 1:29 a.m. Saturday. Mounties, who were already at UBCO, were called to International Mews and University Way, where they
found two men with non life-threatening knife wounds and another with undisclosed injuries from an assault, said Staff Sgt. Blake MacLeod. It didn’t take long for police to find their alleged assailants, however, and they rounded up seven men who are now facing charges. Six of the seven men, who range in age from late teens to early 20s, will face charges of aggravated assault and possession of a prohibited weapon. The other will face recommended charges of aggravated assault and assault. All of the suspects were released with an order to appear back in court Oct. 6, and are not to contact the victims, each other or go to the campus. Meanwhile, Owram stressed campus security is working closely with police to ensure that peace is restored to the building. “At any given time 10,000 students can be here,” he said. “It’s a community and you have to make sure there are adequate procedures in place, which we have.”

No excuse not to pay attention
B
ack in the spring, those who looked ahead to the upcoming municipal election in November didn’t have a lot to get excited about. There did not appear to be a formidable candidate to take on incumbent Mayor Sharon Shepherd, and that seemed to have a negative slant on others who might choose to run for council. For the folks at Kelowna City Hall who have the task of trying to increase voter turnout at the polls, it was looking grim. But here we are in Sep-
tember, and how things have changed. Former mayor Walter Gray has decided to take another run at his city council rival for the mayor’s chair, and he promises that others will run for council now that his name is officially in the municipal election ring. And Orchard Park Shopping Centre has decided to provide a voting station on election day to make it more convenient for their shoppers to vote. Christmas has come early for those concerned voting folks at
city hall who worry about percentages. Now the question is: Will you voters out there pay attention and exercise your democratic right, or will you remain paralyzed by apathy and continue to whine about what city hall does or doesn’t do? Gray appears intent on drawing not only differences between himself and his mayoralty race rivals, but also between himself and the existing council. His comment of the need to correct “inactivity, procrastin-
ation and too many frivolous studies” that tax the time of city hall staff and taxpayers is a shot directed not only at Shepherd, but most of the current incumbents on council. This race has the potential to draw some clear divisions on the city’s future development path and city council’s role in making that happen. Voters made a clear statement about the city’s future direction back in 2005, and they are called upon to do the same again this fall.

9/11’s biggest impact in candid snapshots of those lost
I
n the week leading up to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania, there appeared to be wall-to-wall coverage focusing on the event. That rubbed some the wrong way. But why? In Western society we mark milestones and a 10th anniversary has always been a big one—enough time has passed to look back with a more critical eye but not so much that memory of the event begins to dim. It will be hard for the events of Sept. 11, 2001 to dim in anyone’s memory—in part because we now live with the consequences every day.

To mark the 10th ter the attacks, the Tribute WTC Visi-
tor Centre is a small but deeply moving display that gives visitors a heartachingly more personal account of that fateful day 10 years ago. I did not visit New York until eight years after the events of 9/11. By that time, Ground Zero was a building site. People still stood and looked but by then it had lost a lot of the raw, emotional power it had in the days, weeks and months after the towers fell. But inside the tribute centre, the power of loss hits you full on like a freight train rumbling through your soul. To stand, in silence, and stare at a wall covered with thousands of small, candid snapshots of peo-
ple, punctuated by a favourite ball cap, a well-worn T-shirt or a hardwon diploma, is to feel the loss like a 3,000-pound weight pressing down on you. When I stood there I cried. I couldn’t help it. I had my camera in hand but I couldn’t take a picture. It felt disrespectful. I would challenge anyone who has stood in that spot and contemplated the loss and the changes wrought on the world as a result, to say a week of news stories about what happened to them, and those who survived, is overkill.

Texters getting devious about their habit To the editor: Travelling south on Highway 97 I had to stop for a red light near Constable Neil Bruce Middle School. To my left a young woman in a silver car sat texting on a bright chrome pink electronic device which she held low down in an attempt to hide it from view. Being in a higher vehicle, it was clearly visible to me. When I attracted her attention and mouthed that her actions were illegal (both of our windows were closed), she looked indignant and
lifted up a grey electronic device and showed me that she had a “hands free” phone—obviously she could not be breaking the law! (Who could possibly think she was texting?) She then sped off as the lights changed and eventually turned off towards the lake at the Gellatly intersection. I cannot believe that someone could be so darned deceitful as well as stupid. Maybe she thinks that she is being really smart. So many accidents have been attributed to driver inattention because of texting and cell
phone use in vehicles. Perhaps it is time for people to carry cameras so they can “click” at other people breaking this law. (Don’t worry; I will not be doing that, because I would then be guilty of “driving without due care and attention.”) Nothing will make that woman change her deceitful, dangerous driving habits. Better that I keep my eyes on the road and try to ignore and avoid that kind of moron. Heather Yeats, West Kelowna

What’s legal, what’s right not the same thing To the editor: I, for one, applaud Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd’s proclamation for Protect Human Life Week. (Kelowna Issues Anti-abortion Proclamation, Sept. 2 Capital News) As in previous years, she must have known there would be negative responses from those who oppose what Right to Life stands for, but what is right isn’t always popular.
In Mark Pigott’s letter in the Sept. 8 edition: Moral Proselytizing Not On Mayor’s Job Description, he details what he views as rights to life, which are obviously in opposition to pro-life. I wonder if he would have taken issue if the mayor issued a proclamation for pro-choice. Those who are prochoice often claim it is the woman’s right to own her body and ignore what is happening to the other hu-
man body involved. Abortion stops a beating heart, period. Approximately 1/3 of all pregnancies in Canada end in abortion when the womb should be the safest place in the world for a child. The bright children of our future are being killed at a rate of more than 100,000/year. According to the Adoption Council of Canada, only about 1,700 children are adopted each year. I completely agree
that the right to life includes seeking cures for life threatening diseases. There have been many successful medical advances that have been made in stem cell research using adult and umbilical cord stem cells, which does not involve the destruction of human embryos. No cures have been found using embryonic stem cells. With free will, the choice of how to leave the world is up to each per-
son. However, suicide or euthanasia is always a tragedy as the life is ended before their time on earth is fulfilled. Life is worth so much more than the suffering we experience. Mark Pigott points out that two of these issues are legal, and one is close to becoming legalized. Legal and right are not the same thing. Mary Brunet, West Kelowna
Comments from Web on cancer’s cause To the editor: Re: Sometimes The Cause Of An Illness Is Right Under Our Nose, Sept. 9 Capital News. Rather than looking to The Environmental Working Group, which is not a scientific body but rather an activist group, I suggest (Capital News columnist) Annie Hopper read some informative studies from scientist and researcher Dr. Bruce Ames. Following is a segment from a 2006 interview with Dr. Ames. Question: So would you say that, rath-

er than focus on very small amounts of toxic chemicals, we should look at the fact that we are malnourished? Ames: Right. Question: And that is probably what is really causing cancer? Ames: That’s my guess, yes. If you scare people about a thousand hypothetical minor risks, nobody knows what is important any-
more. A lot of the degenerative diseases of aging are being tied to mitochondrial decay. I think better diet and supplementation would result in less neurodegenerative disease, less cancer, less Alzheimer’s, less Parkinson’s, less diabetes. Dr. Ames is a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and a senior scientist at Children’s Hospital Oakland Research.

Cancer ‘a friendly wake-up call’ for some To the editor: I woke today with these words and the insight behind them. September is officially Cancer Survivor Month. People are still of the mindset that cancer is something chaotic that attacks randomly and has to be fought with poisons. I am simply stating facts here. My life has been touched by cancer too, and I know that when it showed up in my mother’s life it wasn’t random. I also know that together we used visualization to minimize her brain tumour so that it hardly showed on the follow-up scan. My mother was prone to worrying—when she was widowed at 40 and given anti-depressants to
get over this she became dependent on the medication. Cancer in the brain was a kindly wake-up call to her—she hadn’t even realized that not speaking to her eldest child (me) for two years was odd. She was depressed, and that label made it OK! By having to deal with cancer she had to become more social, at the very least to have follow-up checks. There are connections between where we develop cancer and our lifestyle. Breast cancer tends to be a friendly wake-up call to women who love too much, women who put other people’s needs first and really believe they are being good people by giving more than they receive. If you have been
touched by cancer, I urge you to befriend the part of your body which is traumatized by your neglect of its emotional intelligence. Please give it more of your love and attention and take the time to access your inner guidance as to what it needs. Breathing love—in the form of light, joy, happiness, tenderness—into that particular place deeply, frequently, and cutting out all sugar for a while can heal you. Cancer feeds on sugar, acid and lack of oxygen. It does not like high does of Vitamin C or an alkaline diet. Dr. Kelly published this in the 1930s. The cure for cancer is a world-wide awareness that we have to treat our
‘vehicle’ well, refuse to worry, over-care for others and eat crap. This is true, it may be too simple, but some of my best friends are simple
people who come from the heart and don’t charge me anything for their advice or compassion. Victoria Fabling, Kelowna

being officially married. In law, a common-law marriage is called a common-law relationship. They are known as partners, not spouses. The definition of law and the regulation of a common-law relationship fall under the provincial jurisdiction, provincial law and the provincial family law acts, and their equivalents apply to children of commonlaw spouses and the childsupport obligations. Provincial law also dictates spousal-support provisions for commonlaw partners. In B.C., there is a common-law relationship when there are at least two years of uninterrupted cohabitation. Once a common-law relationship is established, it imposes legal requirements on both partners, as specified by the province in which they live. There are many similarities between a common-law relationship and marriage. 1. The ability to designate a partner or spouse as beneficiary on insurance policies and many gov-

FISCAL FITNESS
Doreen Smith ernment programs. 2. Child support and custody of children must be resolved when a relationship dissolves. 3. Ability to claim spousal benefits when filing tax returns and listing a partner’s name on a T-1 income tax return. This allows spousal RRSP contributions, splitting pension income and rolling over assets in registered plans when one partner dies. 4. Division of property falls under the province where you reside. If both partners are contributing towards a property, it should be jointly owned to protect the interest of each contributor. The provision of the Family Law Act of the province in which the couple resides will apply to ensure equalization of all property occurs when
the marriage ends, unless a pre-nuptial agreement prevents such equalization. The property that is acquired is best defined as everything acquired by both spouses during the time of their co-habitation. It is the net value of this property that will be divided upon the breakdown of a relationship. A cohabitation agreement provides financial protection to commonlaw partners that otherwise does not exist; common-law partners do not have the same rights or obligations as married spouses. A cohabitation agreement is a form of a domestic contract. It performs many of the same functions as a marriage contract. A couple with a cohabitation agreement should review this agreement as it can become a marriage contract (commonly referred to as a prenup), should they proceed to marriage. The cohabitation agreement should state it terminates upon the mar-
riage of the partners. This gives the couple the opportunity to redraft an agreement upon marriage. No person is required to make a will by law. When a will exists, your assets are distributed according to your wishes. A will should be reviewed regularly, particularly if circumstances change, such as entering into a common law relationship, getting married, having children or getting divorced. If a will exists prior to marriage, it will be rendered null and void by the marriage. In a common-law relationship, romance may come first, but taxation, division of property, parenting children, and debt are all part of the package. Shared needs and responsibilities encompass a couple’s financial life together. Doreen Smith is a Certified Financial Planner with Capri Wealth Management Inc. 250-869-3825 www.doreensmithcfp.com

Many specific dog breeds are prone to chronic back pain B ack pain is the bane of many people’s lives, but for those who suffer from that malady, they are in good company. As it turns out, our four legged furry friends are also not immune to back pain. The spinal cord is one of the most important and sensitive organs in the body. It is responsible for the transmission of the neurologic signals from the brain to the rest of the body, hence being responsible for motor skill ability, sensation and reflexes. If it’s damaged, the nerve cells do not regenerate but are replaced with fibrous or scar tissue. Spinal cord injuries may also result in a permanent paralysis. Such injuries can be a result of trauma, arthritis of the vertebral column which leads to anatomical changes in the vertebrae, infections, or even tumors. The most common reason for back pain in dogs is intervertebral disc disease, a condition that is rare in cats. Due to its sensitivity, the spinal cord is protected in a very special fashion. It runs through the vertebral column which protects it. It is basically surrounded by bones everywhere except in the junctions between the vertebrae. The junctions between two adjacent vertebrae are filled by rubberlike cushions called intervertebral discs. These discs allow the spinal flexibility and also serve as shock absorbers. There are two types of intarvertebral disc disease. The disc material undergoes chemical changes, it loses its elasticity, and ultimately raptures (in type 1) or bulges (in type 2) causing a direct pressure on the spinal cord. Pressure on the spinal cord results in pain and/or loss of information transmission causing partial or complete paralysis. Type 1 of the disease is the more common form (80 per cent of cases). This condition is genetically inherited and most common in dachshunds, beagles, Lhasa apsos, Pekingese, shih tzus, miniature poodles, and cocker spaniels. These breeds often start to develop the condition as puppies, although the signs usually don’t appear until the age of three to six years. The type 2 of the condition is seen most often
FURRY FRIENDS
Dr. Moshe Oz in large breed dogs, usually older than five years of age. Dogs with back pain will be hunched over, or have their spine twisted to one side. The dog may have trouble moving and jumping or cry when you pick it up. Severe cases result in a partial or complete paralysis. The diagnosis of disc disease is not always very straight forward. After the initial information gathering, the vet will
conduct a physical exam. It is important to distinguish between back pain and abdominal pain. This can be challenging at times because many of the conditions that cause severe abdominal pain may appear as back pain. Once the vet establishes a back pain diagnosis, that may lead to further x-rays. Since neither the disc nor the spinal cord are visible on x-rays, the test may suggest but cannot prove the disc herniation. It can also help in ruling out the other causes of back pain. Disc disease is proven by performing either a myelogram—a specialized radiographic technique that involves in-
jection of contrast dye to the spinal cord in order to pinpoint the location of the spinal compression— or by performing a CT scan. The treatment for disc disease depends on the duration and severity of the condition. Conservative treatment of medication and strict cage rest may help in relieving the pressure on the spine. Surgical treatment is the only option for an actual removal of collapsed disc material. The surgery is not risk-free and is recommended only in cases of complete paralysis or if medication hasn’t worked. Unfortunately, disc disease cannot be prevented, but if your dog belongs to the breeds that

are prone to it, you should be more cautious and try to decrease any shocks on the spinal cord. Do not encourage your dog to jump. When you play fetch, roll the ball on the ground rath-
er than throwing it high in the air. Hold your dog in your arms when going up and down the stairs. Take your dog to the vet when you notice the first signs of back pain. Early diagnosis may
help in affecting the prognosis of your dog. Dr. Moshe Oz operates the Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital in West Kelowna, 2476 Westlake Rd.

different organizations in the community who were actively seeking volunteers.

Public Notice PUBLIC HEARING Notice is given that City Council will hold a public hearing on: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 6pm Kelowna City Hall, 1435 Water Street Council Chambers Council will hear representations from the public who deem an interest in the properties affected by proposed amendments to Zoning Bylaw 8000 for:
Housekeeping Text Amendment to Zoning Bylaw No. 8000 Bylaw No. 10590 (TA11-0005)
The applicant is proposing text amendments to City of Kelowna Zoning Bylaw No. 8000 in order to provide further clarity on development regulations and allowable uses. Proposed Text Amendment: To align the definitions of Care Centre, minor, intermediate, and major with the Community Care and Assisted Living Act by refining the number of children permitted and remove the provision that permitted an additional kitchen; To make minor changes to the RU5- Bare Lot Strata Housing by adding a rear yard requirement for an accessory building; To remove a clause from the RR3 – Rural Residential 3 zone which had a conflicting cross-reference; To clarify the required screening for a site abutting land in the Agricultural Land Reserve; To specify where fences are permitted along the foreshore of Okanagan Lake; To amend the definition of ‘density’ to provide clarity for fractional rounding in zones that specify number of units per site; To amend the ‘site coverage’ definition for Staff and public interpretation and clarity Applicant: City of Kelowna
Text Amendment
Bylaw No. 10591 (TA11-0007) The applicant is proposing to change the signage regulations referenced in the CD2 (Kettle Valley) zone to permit a greater number of signs for their tenants Proposed Text Amendment: To amend the signage regulations of the CD2 (Kettle Valley) zone for signage to refer to C3- Community Commercial regulations of the Sign Bylaw instead of C2Neighbourhood Commercial Applicant: New Town Architectural Services Inc.
She had to learn each organization’s values and decide whether or not they aligned with her own. She then had to debate whether or not she would be willing to lend her valuable time and effort to any of the nonprofit causes. And she had less than 30 minutes to do it. For the second straight year, the Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair featured Volunteer Speed Matching: A quick way for potential volunteers to get basic information on a variety of nonprofit organizations. With a similar setup to speed dating, Volunteer Speed Matching gave organizations and willing volunteers four minutes to feel each other out and decide whether or not they were a suitable match for each other. Roussin, who moved to Kelowna in April, saw
the challenge as an opportunity to immerse herself in a new community. “I was involved with volunteer work in Vancouver; I know how enriching it is to be a volunteer,” said Roussin. “I’m using this for that reason, but also for the selfish reason of getting to know Kelowna, getting to know the people here and being a part of the community. That’s what makes you feel at home.” Roussin was initially interested in joining an organization that she had experience with; however, she was also open to the possibility of trying something new. “I wanted to look up the organizations that I had previously been involved in and see if I still wanted to go that way or if I wanted to go a different way. “I’m trying to decide
interest even slightly, you can go to the web. The ability to get more information on the ones you might be interested in is very good.” Chanine Corr, a volunteer MC of the Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair, said that the purpose of speed matching is to create interest and encourage further research. “This is just a four minute snapshot to see if it might work, then you can go get more information,” said Corr. Roussin hopes that she will be too busy volunteering to attend this event again next year, but she insisted that she would definitely spread the word. “I would certainly recommend it to someone else. Putting yourself out there is a good step for a lot of people.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews. com

Paul Latimer The more we are all aware of the prevalence and realities of mental illness, the more compassionate we will be toward our friends and family living with these conditions —and stigma will be less of a barrier to the mental health of Canadians. For these reasons, I was very happy to learn that the Canadian Mental Health Association is holding this year’s National Conference on Mental Health right here in Kelowna. From Sept. 14 to 16, the Coast Capri Hotel will host delegates and speakers discussing many aspects of mental health. What a great opportunity for our city. The conference, themed Movement building, is open to anyone who wishes to attend and will feature several prominent speakers as well as sessions and workshops on many topics sure to be of interest. One of the keynote speakers is particularly interesting—Tod Mafin will discuss the work/life balance in his session called Taking Crazy Back. For those unfamiliar with Mafin, he was the founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar technology firm and the host of a popular technology show on CBC. His high-paced lifestyle was brought to a halt by serious depression and addiction. Mafin will talk about our work landscape today and the impact it may have on the productivity and mental health of Canadian employees. Many other important topics will get covered at next week’s conference. One topic I cover quite often in this column is the link between mental health and poverty—and there will be a panel discussing practical supports to address homelessness, featuring a representative from the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s housing first project.

Many of the women who attended have announced, or are considering announcing, their will to run for municipal office. The workshops, which were held at the Central Okanagan Regional District office, covered a wide range of topics, including: Deciding to run, financing the campaign, campaign ethics, canvassing, public speaking and media training. The event was hosted by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). The workshops are part of FCM’s Getting to 30% Project.

Kochan said the arts and cultural staff she works with were all really excited to hear there is plenty of interest in community-driven initiatives within the arts scene once the city has clearly defined a direction it wants to take in its new cultural plan, due out this month. “We were really encouraged to hear the community was saying this is something people want to have ownership of…and hear people saying: Tell us what the priorities are and we’ll go do it,” said Kochan. Drafting the new cultural plan took roughly 18 months and included extensive public consultation. The document is currently making the rounds within City Hall where management and staff affected by its recommendations will get time to digest the recommendations before it goes to city council. It is expected to be in councillors’ hands in three weeks time, though an exact date is pending. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Newspapers are used to plan purchases, either for an immediate need or a future purchase. While the economy might have changed the way Canadians shop, one thing that hasn’t changed is the tool that they use to make their shopping decisions. Most adults identify newspapers as the way they use to plan shopping or make purchasing decisions. Secondly, newspapers ads are WELCOMED! In other media, ads are actively avoided. Newspaper is one of the few types of media where readers indicate that they want the ads. Newspapers score higher than T.V., Radio and the Internet in terms of Canadians. Lastly, newspaper readers take action, over 10 million Canadians read a newspaper on an average weekday. But they don’t just read the paper, they are moved to action based on the advertising contained in it.

SENIORS Fraudsters prey
▼ TLC SOCIETY
on the elderly
L
ast week I spoke to a group of seniors about fraud schemes aimed at seniors, with Kelowna RCMP Consts. Ann Donnelly and Carl Stene. I was amazed at that meeting by the number of seniors who told us that they have been contacted by fraudsters. In particular, those people who were running the grandparent scam. Within any gatherSENIORS’ ing of seniors, you will CONCERNS find those who have been approached or possibly scammed of thousands of dollars. Readers of this column will be familSharen iar with the grandparent Marteny scam. I ask my readers to help their friends by telling them about this scam. Please, cut this column out and post it up where other seniors will read it. Seniors are losing thousands of dollars because they think that they are helping their grandchildren and then they are too embarrassed to tell anyone what happened. Many seniors have been taken in with this fraud and it must be stopped. In this particular scam, the fraudster is hoping that the grandparents have not spoken with their grandchildren recently and will not recognize their voices. Also, the grandparents will probably not be upto-date with where the grandchildren are living or what they are doing. When the fraudster starts to speak with the seniors, they will phrase their wording in a way that will get the seniors to give the name and details of the grandchildren. A scare tactic is used in combination with helping a grandchild. The other key part of the scam is the grandparents are told not to tell anyone about the telephone call. If the scam works, the grandparent will wire the requested money and won’t tell anyone about the telephone call. If the fraudster succeeds in getting money from the seniors then, in a day or two, the seniors will receive another telephone call requesting more money. One of the scams has someone call the grandparent claiming to be a family member, a young adult who is supposedly incarcerated in jail elsewhere in Canada. In some instances, the caller has also claimed to be a lawyer representing the family member. The caller asks for $5,000 to be wired in order to facilitate their release from jail. In one instance, an 88-year-old male victim wired the money to his “grandson,” whose name was correctly given. The next day the “grandson” called back thanking the victim, and asked for another $5,000 for court costs. At that point, the victim called his real grandson to find out that he was currently living in another country, and was not in jail. In another instance, an 86-year-old female victim received a call from a male claiming to be her “grandson” and gave the same story. The victim, suspecting something funny was going on, asked to speak to the caller’s lawyer. The caller said the lawyer would call her. No one called her back, so she saved herself $5,000.

Moorage secured for pontoon boat Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The Therapeutic Lake Cruises (TLC) Society is no longer adrift now that their pontoon patio boat has found moorage. The boat, used for the enjoyment of senior citizens and the disabled population in the Central Okanagan, is being moored at Shelter Bay Marina for no cost. During the summer of 2010, the pontoon boat was docked, free of charge, at the Kelowna Yacht Club. This spring, the moorage agreement with the KYC was denied. Patsy Gillis, spokesperson for the TLC Society, said that the refusal to moor came as an unpleasant surprise to the group. “When we first formed in 2009, we were working with a community recreation coordinator at the Water Street Seniors Centre. He helped us form this society. He went next door to talk to the manager at the yacht club,” said Gillis. “It was all a go: We were going to have moorage there. We understood it was part of their mandate to provide community service for seniors. We

understood they were setting aside some spaces at the yacht club to fill that mandate.” Gillis said that the agreement wasn’t in writing; therefore, there was little the TLC Society could do when they were refused moorage this year. “It kind of ticked us off because I know they’ve expanded the yacht club, they added a lot of slips. They just said they couldn’t provide for everyone because they get too many requests. “We were really at a low point and we felt like we might even have to sell the boat and give up.” Shelter Bay Marina relieved the society when they stepped in and agreed to provide the service for free. Although Gillis isn’t aware of how long Shelter Bay Marina will be able to continue mooring the pontoon patio boat for free, she is happy the boat has a home for now. According to Gillis, the majority of passengers on the boat come from care homes. “The society is mostly run by a group of local recreation coordinators in long-term care homes. There’s about eight of (us). So we spread the word amongst all of the

Okanagan artist pumps out 100-painting project Kyle Poirier’s mantle currently boasts a growing collection of original, 10x10 inch paintings. Included in the line-up is a colourful fish, a couple of vintage cars, the family dog, a few flower studies and a Ducati Monster. The Kelowna-based artist and graphic designer launched this ambitious art collection project last July because he felt he needed motivation. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from UBC Okanagan in 1999, Poirier has produced only a little bit of art, as work and life have competed for his attention. Now a husband and father of two, Poirier decided he needed to give himself a challenge if he was going to be serious about putting paintbrush to canvas. “My goal is to paint 100, 10-by-10 inch acrylic paintings before the cal-
endar turns over to 2012. Each one will be sold for just $100—100 for $100,” Poirier said. In addition to giving himself a goal, the project gives art lovers and collectors a chance to own an original piece of art by an emerging artist, at an affordable price. The subject matter he selects is diverse, as scenes or objects catch his eye. A uniting theme that so far runs through the collection, however, is vibrant colours and a whimsical, almost illustrative look. As the works are completed, they become available on his blog, www. thepeartree.ca/kyle. “I love how technology is empowering the art world, giving the artist the ability to get their work out to the masses,” Poirier said. Using a web site to sell his work means he will reach a broader audience, but using a blog

Sun’s offensive will shows on the field The Okanagan Sun got the second half of the B.C. Football Conference season off on the right foot with a convincing win in a game they were expected to dominate. The Sun hammered the winless Chilliwack Huskers 42-7 on Sunday afternoon at the Apple Bowl, improving to 5-1 on the season and continuing its domination of Chilliwack. Coming into the game the Huskers had not scored a point against the Sun in 17 straight quarters. In the first half on Saturday that streak continued and was extended to 19 quarters as the Sun led 24-0 at halftime. The Sun got on the board first on a one yard touchdown plunge from Steven Doege, a defensive lineman who was part of the team’s jumbo package and pounded in his first
BCFC touchdown. Before half-time the Sun scored two majors 90 seconds apart to take a strangelhold on the game. Quarterback Jeremy Mraovic hit Michael Friend with a 10 yard touchdown strike before Arman Bokitch found the endzone on an eight yard touchdown scamper. In the third quarter the Huskers finally broke through the Sun and stopped their scoreless streak. After a Sun fumble defensive back Tanner Hamade rumbled 47 yards to pay dirt as the Huskers defence scored its first major of the game. The Sun added two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Doege pounded in a second touchdown from two yards out and Carson Park intercepted a pass and returned it 15 yards for a major.
Kicker Steven McFadyen hit field goals from 34 and 29 yards out. “We were committed to run the football,” said new offensive coordinator Jay Christensen following the game. It showed, as the Sun would tally 313 yards on the ground while just 131 through the air. Bokitch led the charge carrying 13 times for 104 yards and a TD. New fullback Evin Polack carried seven times for 72 yards and back-up Alex Bradley had an impressive five carries for 74 yards. At QB, Mraovic finished 11 of 22 for 131 yards and a major. The Sun will now travel to Victoria on Saturday for a date with the Westshore Rebels at 7 p.m. In Week 4 of the season the Sun hammered the Rebels 49-7.

Weber & Keith together forever in B.C. Sports Hall of Fame Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Olympic gold medals, the Memorial Cup, the Norris Trophy and the Stanley Cup. Between them, former Kelowna Rockets defencemen Shea Weber and Duncan Keith have won some impressive trophies. Now the two will be joined together forever as they will be inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame along with nine in-
dividuals and two teams at the 43rd Annual Banquet of Champions tonight at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Weber and Keith will enter the hall as members of the 2010 Olympic gold medal winning Canadian hockey team. “It’s a huge honour,” said Weber from Nashville, as he prepared for his seventh NHL season. “Growing up in B.C., playing my junior hockey in B.C. and being around the province it means a lot to myself and my family.

Shea Weber This is something I can cherish forever.” Neither Weber nor Keith will be at the in-
duction ceremony as both have left the area to prepare for the start of the hockey season. Some of Keith’s family and friends will be in attendance as he and Weber, along with fellow B.C. players Scott Niedermayer and Brent Seabrook and Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo are also inducted. “When you think of a Hall of Fame you don’t think of getting inducted while you’re still playing,” said Keith. “But it’s
a huge honour and a privilege to be put in that select group that gets to go into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. I was honoured to be picked for that team. To play on Team Canada in the Winter Olympics in your own backyard…it doesn’t get any better than that.” And the two former Rockets’ stars certainly earned their spot on the team. Weber, the big, punishing defenceman, had two goals, four assists and was plus four in the seven
Canadian games at the Olympics. Keith, who would later that year be named the NHL’s best defenceman, had six assists in the seven games and recorded a plus six rating. After the players celebrated the gold medal win, it became a family affair, something that has stuck with both players. “Obviously we celebrated as a team right after the game,” said Weber. “But then we went to meet our families and my mom

and dad and grandma and grandpa and my brother were all there. My mom passed away last summer and that was the last thing she got to see me do and that was very special for me.” “It was an unbelievable experience,” added Keith. “To be thrown in with a group of guys… you take so much away from being in the Olympics… the experiences and the emotions in such a short period of time. It was a real special time.”

Heat women open strong
GET A GRIP!
The UBC Okanagan Heat women’s soccer team started the season strong, extending a regular season winning streak with two wins to open the BCCAA season. Opening the season with two games in the Lower Mainland, the Heat earned a tense 1-0 victory over two-time defending BCCAA champion Kwantlen College on Sunday after a 5-0 win over Douglas College on Saturday. On Sunday in a fiercely competitive match against Kwantlen the game was scoreless until the 73rd minute when Lindsey Briggs scored the deciding goal. The victory completed a sweep of their two game road trip. “It was a hard-fought, physical match and we played pretty well today,” said head coach Claire
r r r
Paterson. “But we opened the door for them at the end of the match; we were fortunate that they didn’t claw the goal back and tie the game up. Capturing the six points in the standings this weekend was really important for us as we only see those teams once in league play.” After taking the lead Kwantlen pushed hard for the tie sending several extra attackers deep but veteran keeper Sabrina Gasparac and the Heat’s backline were able to contain the Eagles. “We played a little frantic in today’s game but we utilized our width and fought for every ball which led us to our goal,” said team co-captain Jennifer Kidd. “I hope our success this past weekend translates to next weekend’s home opener.” On Saturday Kirsten
Dodds and Marissa Klees each scored twice while Lindsey Briggs scored once in the 5-0 win over Douglas College. Next action for the women’s soccer team will be this Sunday at 1 p.m. as the Heat battle the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack in the Heat women’s home opener at Nonis Field on UBC’s Okanagan campus.
MEN’S SOCCER
The UBCO Heat men’s soccer team received goals from four different players as they won their second game in as many days on the road, defeating the Kwantlen Eagles 4-0 Sunday afternoon in Surrey. Austin Jones, Mason Hampel, Thomas Simkins, and Dylan Abbott scored for the Heat who also entered the scoresheet
in the second half. That followed a nice win on Saturday as Andrew Pinguelo notched both Hear goals in a 2-1 win over Douglas College, the defending BCCAA bronze medalists. The wins were the first for new men’s soccer coach Dante Zanatta. “It was a good start to the season,” he said. “Any time you can go away and get six points on a road trip you have to be substantially happy about it. We have a long ways to go; we have to come home and have a good week of training and prepare for TRU this Saturday.” The Heat will play the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack in a single game this Saturday in Kamloops at 1 p.m. The men’s home opener will be Sunday at 1 p.m. on the Nonis Turf Field.

Rockets take 2 Warriors Kelowna Rockets netminder Jordon Cooke earned two wins on the weekend as the Rockets remained unbeaten in Western Hockey League exhibition play. Kelowna defeated Kamloops 3-2 in Kamloops and then used a shootout to beat the Blazers 5-4 at Prospera Place on Saturday, improving to 4-0 in the WHL pre-season. With Rockets starter Adam Brown playing in the Penticton Young Stars Tournament with the Edmonton Oilers, Cooke was able to strut his stuff, stopping 43 of 45 shots in Kamloops on Friday before turning aside 26 shots in Saturday’s win. “We have a lot of confidence in both Adam and Jordon and they’ve been a big reason our record is where it is,” said Rockets coach Ryan Huska. “Most teams in pre-season typically use their young goalies but we feel we have two very good ones.”
The Rockets played the weekend minus seven regulars who are away at NHL training camps. Along with Brown in Penticton, Brett Bulmer and Colton Jobke are in Minnesota, Mitchell Callahan and Zach Franko are in Detroit while Shane McColgan is in New York and Jessey Astles is in Pittsburgh. “This weekend was a tough one because the numbers were down for both teams,” said Huska. “Sometimes when you are short it’s hard to play the right way so it’s tough for evaluations but I thought our young guys were doing some of the things we were showing them in practice.” Huska said some players will start to arrive back in Kelowna from the various pro camps later this week. The Rockets play two road exhibition games this weekend, traveling to Victoria on Friday and Vancouver on Sunday.

Playing in the U14 Gold Division, the local boys capped unbeaten weekend with a 6-0 victory over the Ladner Strikers in Monday’s final game. Kelowna’s biggest challenge came a day earlier from a bigger, older squad in the Prince George Kodiaks U15 team. United had two goals disallowed in the game, but still managed a 2-1 victory. The Kodiaks appeared to tie the score late in the game, but the goal was
waved off due to an offside call. The Kelowna U13 boys opened the tourney with a 9-0 win over Salt Spring on Saturday, then beat the defending U13 champs, the Prince George Kodiaks 5-0 on Sunday. The United team is: Jeremy MacKay, Peter Warshawski, Lloyd Larsen, Kyle Martin, Jaden McNulty, Morgan Gonzales, Scott Rutter, Hunter McMorran, Matthew Harden, Ilan Michaeli, Corbin Beauchemin, Foster Warren, Colton Zarowny, Noah Ridgway, Noah Trites, and Kealon Cangiano, and the coaches Tony Gonzales and Izak Michaeli.

Kelowna trio create world of dragons and magic T

his is really neat— co-creators John Collins, Amanda Broman and Jonathan Nickel call themselves “Outer Geek,” as the local trio have created and printed their own original comic book, titled Blood Of The Overlord. It’s an action/adventure story set in a world filled with dragons and magic, suitable for readers ages 14 and up. The main character is Vegraasa, a strong yet reserved young woman who is deadly with a spear. She is on a journey to defeat the seemingly invincible Dark Wyrm, who killed her parents and forcefully took the throne of Dracania. Traveling with Vegraasa is her guardian, Grids, who is usually reliable, but often spends too much money on trinkets and collectibles. Don’t want to give up too much more, as it sounds like a great comic book, the type I like (cops and robbers). The team is currently working on Volume 2, planning to release it in the spring of 2012. It is available at Mosaic Books, Leo’s Video on Pandosy, Earth Whimsy, Artisan’s Market and Tweeked and Yummy, both on Ellis Street. For more info check out outergeek@live.com.

BUSINESS ▼ FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES
Workplace investigations done the right way O
ne of the tasks for which many managers are unprepared is the workplace investigation. The guidelines for performing this function effectively are straightforward enough but aren’t necessarily always obvious. The need for a workplace investigation can arise out of a wide range of circumstances. Most often, I’d say, the need is triggered by a complaint by one employee against another of some kind of harassment or by the employer’s perception that an employee has engaged in mis-

Robert Smithson conduct. So, what to do? The first step is, undoubtedly, to determine whether the situation even warrants a formal investigation. If some lesser response would be sufficient in the circumstances, launching an investigation may achieve nothing more than occupying valuable resources.
But, perhaps it makes sense to err on the side of caution—unless you’re certain an investigation isn’t required, conduct one. Next, determine who should conduct the investigation. Does the designated person have any direct or indirect involvement in the circumstances, or any kind of personal relationship with, or bias in relation to, the complainant or another accused employee? In many instances, it makes sense to bring in an outsider to conduct the investigation—this can resolve internal conflict issues and can allow for

sure to consult your policy manual to determine whether it imposes an investigation procedure. If so, you would be well advised to follow them. Obtain complaints in writing whenever possible. If necessary, go back to the complainant for more details so that you have the full story, from his or her perspective, in hand. When conducting investigation meetings, plan on having two employer representatives present. One will do the talking and one will make (accurate) notes of what is said. Personally, I prefer to receive written (and signed and dated) statements from all witnesses—this precludes anyone playing the “I never said that!” game. When questioning witnesses, ask every “who,” “where,” “when,” “what,” “why,” and “how” question you can think of.
Being complete will surely advance the objective of coming to the correct conclusion in the end. Confidentiality is a tricky subject when it relates to workplace complaints. The tendency is to assure the complainant of total confidentiality but, practically speaking, that usually cannot be achieved. So, advise the parties —particularly the complainant—that confidentiality can be maintained only to the point at which it does not hinder the investigation. Ensure that you have the complainant’s permission to proceed with the investigation even if doing so means disclosing his or her personal information.

The defeat of the harmonized sales tax has nearly tripled B.C.’s deficit forecast for the current fiscal year, doubled it for next year, and left a $458-million gap for 2013 when the B.C. Liberal
government has committed to balance the budget and call an election. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon revealed the latest projections in the province’s first quarter economic update last Thursday. The ministry calculates that scrapping the
HST will cost the provincial treasury $2.2 billion over three years, including $700 million less revenue once the old provincial sales tax is reinstated. Further revenue reductions are expected in later years before economic growth makes up the sales tax revenue.

need to render a decision. Weighing the “he said, she said” of the situation will be challenging, but it must be done. Generally speaking, apply a “balance of probabilities” standard to your determinations, taking everything into account—is it more likely than not that the alleged circumstances occurred? If you’d rather not have sole responsibility for this decision, defer to an outside consultant to give his or her findings and recommendations. There is, of course, a lot more to be said about procedures for conducting investigations. However, these basic tips should get you headed down the right path.

more objective results. Before initiating the investigation, consider whether interim measures are required. Is it necessary to alter any existing workplace rules or reporting relationships or to get an employee out of the workplace altogether while the investigation proceeds? As for the investigation itself, some simple rules can be useful. Start by being serious, but not hysterical, about the situation. Don’t “fire first, ask questions later.” Get going on the investigation as soon as possible after the complaint is raised. Delay causes many problems, not the least of which is the detrimental impact of the passage of time on witnesses’ memory of key events. Don’t think this applies to you or your staff? Try remembering what you had for breakfast last Friday morning. Before the investigation gets underway, be

Falcon said he will be traveling the province this fall for the annual budget consultation, but he has already heard that the public has little appetite for new tax or fee increases to make up for undoing the HST. He said the cabinet has not yet decided if the “net zero” mandate for public sector union negotiations will be extended after it expires this December. But he gave a strong hint to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, the two largest groups that have not yet agreed to contracts under those conditions. “I think all we’re saying is that the public sector needs to recognize that in the world we’re in now, this isn’t a good time to be asking for significant increases,” Falcon said. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston refused to comment on whether teachers or other government workers should get raises, after his party helped in the two-year effort to repeal the HST. He said if lower-paid public employees have to sacrifice for Falcon’s cost-cutting exercise, executives in government and Crown corporations should also share the pain.

MENDEL, THERESA (REHLINGER) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, Oma, aunt and friend. Theresa passed away peacefully on September 10th, 2011 surrounded by the love of her family. She will be sorely missed by her husband of 60 years Hans; her two sons Robert & James (Donna), her daughter Jackie (Dave Pattison) and her grandchildren Cassandra, Harrison, Thomas and Griffin and by many relatives, friends and people whose lives she touched. Theresa is predeceased by her father (Joseph), her mother (Katherine) and her sister Katherine Roth (Rehlinger). Theresa was born on September 26, 1928 in Batschka, Palanka, Yugoslavia and immigrated to Canada (Kelowna) with her family in 1948. Just prior to leaving Europe she met Hans and they corresponded by letter for three years before meeting again and marrying on March 26, 1951 at Immaculata Conception Church in Kelowna. Hans and Theresa settled in Winnipeg for ten years before returning to Kelowna to be close to their extended family. While raising their children Hans and Theresa ran a business downtown, the Kelowna Tobacco Store. Theresa’s life centered around her family; nurturing them, cooking and baking for them and providing them with sound advice. She loved her home and her garden and took pride in providing a place for her family and friends to gather. Theresa was especially proud of her grandchildren and loved to have them over after school; talk with them and prepare their favourite snacks. Theresa will be remembered for volunteering her time, talents and leadership skills to raise money for the needy, the church and the hospital. She worked tirelessly baking pies & cookies; organizing bake sales; washing, ironing & preparing clothes for the needy and knitting blankets for the poor. She was a member of the Catholic Women’s League for 59 years and volunteered with the KGH Auxiliary for 18 years. Theresa proudly set and lived an example of faith, charity and hard work. She will be deeply missed by many and forever in our hearts. The Mendel family would like to thank Dr. Chris Livingston for his years of caring and the Palliative Response Team. In lieu of flowers donations made be made to the KGH Hospital Foundation. Prayers will be recited Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 7:30 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road. A Mass of Christian Burial will held Thursday, September 15, 2011 at 10:30 am at St. Charles Garnier Parish, 3645 Benvoulin Road. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.
THOMSON, COLIN GIFFORD WAKELY October 17, 1924 – September 8, 2011 Surrounded by family, Gifford passed away peacefully in his 86th year. He will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him. Son of Wilber and Gladys Thomson, he was born in Kelowna and lived all his life on the family farm in Okanagan Mission. Gifford is survived by his wife Brenda (nee Butler) and his seven children, Stephen (Brenda), Gillian, Margot (Mike), Kirsty (Jim), Diana (Mike), Elizabeth (Brian), Colin (Sarah), and his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, his sister Marjorie (Mike), sister-in-law Dorothy and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother Ken. Gifford’s grandparents settled here in 1892. His father died in 1934, leaving him the responsibility at a young age to help his mother. He enlisted in the RCAF when he was 18, reaching the rank of Flying Officer and was posted overseas. After the war ended he took over the family farm from his uncle and with his brother established Thomson Brothers, operating a successful dairy farm up to 1979. Milk was shipped to NOCA, of which Gifford served as president and director for many years. He was active in the Community Hall Association, St. Andrew’s Church, and the Okanagan Historical Society. He continued his love of flying for many years, co-piloting with Henry Hobson. He loved to play bridge and belonged to a men’s bridge club that was established in the late 1940’s and is still active today. Those who have gone before are waiting so we have sent him off with a deck of cards and enough change to cut in. Gifford and Brenda were married in 1951 and recently celebrated a 60th anniversary attended by many old friends and relatives. Gifford was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend. His patience for teaching everyone how to drive tractors, trucks and boats, change sprinklers, and load a trailer of hay will be well remembered by all generations. His ability to tell humorous stories of these times was a highlight of family parties. Stories abound with great love for Dad. He will be remembered as a fine, honourable, hard-working man, with a huge talent for one-liners, and he will always be an understated hero in everyone’s eyes. The funeral will take place at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, 4961 Lakeshore Road, at 2:00 pm on Friday, September 16th, 2011. Arrangements in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services 250-860-6440.

Tango is a really wonderful dog who was unfortunately kept as an outside dog. Contrary to what some people think, this is not an ideal situation for a dog like Tango. Tango thrives on human interaction and a boring backyard is not enough stimulation for most dogs, especially ones like Tango. This dog is very smart and will learn and adapt very quickly. Once he realizes that regular attention is the norm, Tango will settle down. Tango loves to play so the learning process can be a fun one. Don’t be intimidated about adpting a dog like Tango just make sure the energy levels are a good match between the family and the dog.

Cheyenne was left behind by previous owners. He is a lovely cat who would be a wonderful companion. He gets along with other cats, has a great ‘no problem’ attitude, and would do well in either an active or laid-back home.

Toonie is a sweet dog with a lot of energy. He loves to go for walks and will get better and better the more you walk him. For such a noodle-head, he is surprisingly good in the car.
I’m a really sweet little girl! I would be best suited in a quieter home with older children. I love head rubs and will nudge you to keep petting me. I came in with an ear infection and due to that, my ear is a little bit deformed. It doesn’t affect me in any way. In fact I believe this just adds to my unique personality and gives me character!

Kiki is a Shar-Pei and anyone interested in her should do research on the breed. There is an approved Shar-Pei rescue here in Kelowna and they would be more than happy to share their insights into the breed. Typically they can be goofy with their owners and aloof towards strangers. They tend to mistrust before they open up & are suited for experienced owners.

Loki is very intelligent and looking for that special someone to give him the time of day. He is friendly, energetic and deserves more than being stuck in a backyard. He is a social creature and enjoys the company of people. His breed is strong, so his new home will require decent fencing and/or lots of time out walking and/or off leash at the dog parks. Loki’s smile says it all. If you have what this loving guy needs please call and set up an appointment for a visit.

Leo is a Pekingese mix who is about 3 years old and is good with female dogs. He may be good with male dogs too we just haven’t mixed him yet. He is a friendly and loving boy who would do well in a home with owners who share their furniture with their pets.
Bella is a sweet, hyper and friendly dog. She needs to have her energy focused and from what we can tell this would be a new thing for her. She is happy to be around people and with some positive reinforcement “of good behaviors” she will catch on quick. For right now, she is stuck in a shelter and would like to get out as quickly as possible.

Tyson is a Shar-Pei who is in need of a good home. He is a typical Shar-Pei, aloof at the beginning and gentle once he trusts you. Please research the breed prior to requesting a one-on-one visit with him. If you need further assistance the local Shar-Pei rescue would be more than happy to share their knowledge with you. He is also scheduled to have his front leg amputated due to an injury he suffered earlier this year. He is used to getting around on three legs already and the adjustment period will be a quick one for Tyson.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen veggie meals This is one of my favourite times of year to cook because there are so many varieties of vegetables, herbs and fruit available fresh and local— inspiration is around every corner. Some of our favourite recipes we only make at this time of year because there’s a variety of herbs available outside the kitchen door; the summer squashes are at their best and tomatoes taste like tomatoes because they’ve just been picked ripe from the vine. For vegetarians or those who try to serve at least one vegetarian meal a week to their families, this is a fantastic time of year, because there are so many options at the peak of perfection. An ideal way to put together a vegetarian meal that contains a wide variety of vegetables, with attractive colour and lots of flavour, is a stir-fry. Add in cubes of firm tofu or bean curd and you even have the protein necessary for a complete meal, nutritionally. But the top substitute for meat protein, for the vegetarian, is members of the legume family, like chick peas or garbanzo beans, kidney beans, navy beans, split peas and lentils and there are many ways to cook them. Even non-vegetarians would do well to include at least a meal a week using these meat substitutes, as well as including fish each week to vary the protein sources in your diet. For more ideas for meals using fresh, local produce, pick up a copy of my new book, Jude’s Kitchen, wherever books are sold. Incidentally, the Mt. Boucherie Family Estate Winery presents Wine & Food DNA: Finding Answers, One Sip at a Time on Saturday, Sept. 17 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., with proceeds supporting the B.C. Cancer Foundation. Tickets are online at: wineandfooddna.eventbrite.com Pair these dishes with a fruity, yet crisp wine such as the Ganton & Larsen Prospect Winery Larch Tree Hill Riesling, a reasonably-priced local wine that's good value as well as being a luscious wine that stands up to flavourful, even spicy foods such as this.
Stir-fried Harvest Veggies
You could serve this over quicklybrowned cubes of tofu for a little more of a meaty texture, but there are so many vegetables currently available fresh and local, that it’s an exciting time of year to eat your vegetables. Feel free to substitute what vegetables you have available fresh. 1 onion 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh minced ginger 8 mushrooms 1 zucchini handful of green beans 1/2 red pepper 1/2 yellow pepper 1/2 green pepper 1/4 jalapeno pepper 2 garlic cloves drizzle of oil 1/2 c. (125 ml) water 1 tbsp. (15 ml) soy sauce 1 tsp. (5 ml) szechuan sauce 1 tbsp. (15 ml) cornstarch 1 tbsp. (15 ml) cold water Trim vegetables, including removing the
ribs and seeds from the hot pepper. Chop the onion and mince the ginger. Slice the mushrooms, zucchini and peppers into similar sized pieces. Mince the jalapeno pepper or other hot pepper and garlic. Heat a drizzle of oil in a deep frypan or wok over medium-high heat and soften the onion and ginger. Add the mushrooms and brown lightly, then add the zucchini. Stir and fry for a couple of minutes and add the whole beans and sliced peppers, minced hot pepper and garlic. Stir together with soy and szechuan sauces and water, cover and let steam for a few minutes until the vegetables are nearly cooked, but still crisp. Push the vegetables away from the centre of the pan and combine the cornstarch and cold water in a tiny bowl and pour into the centre, stirring until it comes to bubbling and thickens. Add more water if needed and continue to stir until it’s completely combined and re-thickened. Mix in the vegetables until they’re all coated with the sauce. Serve over rice or noodles. Serves 4.

Falafels in Pitas These are a favourite Middle Eastern street food delicacy, and a great meal for vegetarians, as well as those with a flour intolerance, since chickpea flour is used. I always serve them with a cucumber yogurt mixture like Greek Tzatziki in halved whole wheat pitas, topped with cut up tomato, green pepper and sweet onion. Falafels could also be cooked up, cooled and then included in the lunch box with a yogurt dip and raw vegetables in separate containers. 19-oz. (540 ml) chickpeas 1 tbsp. (15 ml) olive oil 1 small onion 2 garlic cloves 1/4 c. (60 ml) parsley 2 tbsp. (30 ml) cilantro 1 tsp. (5 ml) cumin 1 tsp. (5 ml) coriander 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) cayenne pepper
2 tbsp. (30 ml) chana flour 2 tbsp. (30 ml) lemon juice 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) sesame oil drizzle of oil for frying Rinse and drain the can of chickpeas, then mash them with a drizzle of olive oil. Mince onion and garlic, parsley and cilantro and add to the mixture, along with spices, chana (chickpea) flour (you may substitute regular flour), lemon juice and sesame oil. Combine everything well and form into small patties, about two tablespoons each. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat and arrange the patties in it, frying until browned. Turn and fry on the other side until patties are cooked through and browned on the outside. Serve with a cucumber yogurt mixture. Leftovers heat up well. Serves 4.
