OPINION

KSS GRAD and volleyball player Kaitlynn Given is one of a growing number of local high school athletes choosing to attend UBCO.

NEW UBCO study has found the majority of campus grads and alumni leave the Okanagan Valley in order to find jobs due to lack of work in the chosen fields of those surveyed and the high cost of living here.

THE HOCKEYVILLE campaign continues to build momentum in the wake of a business decorating competition held in West Kelowna last week.

ALISTAIR WATERS says there was nothing new in Premier Christy Clark’s throne speech—aka radio talk show interview.

City hall retains agriculture committee voice Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

As part of its plan to revamp city committees, Kelowna council will change the make-up of its agricultural advisory committee so that five specific areas of the industry are represented. Instead of the current seven, at-large committee members, council voted Monday to have five of them represent the following commodity groups: • greenhouse and nursery products • wine/grapes • tree fruits • livestock/animal husbandry • agricultural processing/distribution (including farm retail sales. In addition to the five specific representatives, the committee will also include two members from the agricultural community at-large. Two alternates will also be selected at-large agricultural community, according to the committee’s new terms of reference. The city has already received 16 applications to sit on the committee and the recommended applicant names will be presented to council next week.. Coun. Robert Hobson said it’s important the applicants be vetted by city staff to make sure there are no “other agendas” that would conflict with the committee’s terms of reference. The city says the changes are being made to better represent the agricultural community here, given that 57 per cent of the Kelowna’s 21,700 hectare land base is currently zone agricultural and agriculture is an important part of the local economy. The agricultural advisory committee has been in existence since 1993 and makes recommendations to council about agriculture-related issues and land use. Following his election in November, Mayor Walter Gray announced the city would review all its committees, with an eye to eliminating some and changing others. A few weeks ago it announced it was dumping the city’s advisory planning commission and the women’s committee and would look at changing the terms of reference of other committees. See Voice A7

More than 500 people attended the finale with the music provided by Ed Robertson, lead singer of The Barenaked Ladies (see story A6), and Barney Bentall. The winner was Mark Lepine, from Ottawa, with Rob Feenie, representing the Cactus Club, earning the silver and Jean-Philippe St-Denis, from Montreal, receiving the bronze. The event supports the Canadian Olympic Foundation and has raised more than $6 million since 2006 for the Own The Podium initiative.

Glenmore project nearing rental stage Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Construction crews working on The Conservatory building in Glenmore are making headway in their efforts to turn the once-dead develop-

ment into a new pocket of rental suites. Work on the 100 condos completed under developer Sunstar Ventures over the five-plus months since construction resumed has been so robust, it’s even encouraged inter-

ested locals to take to their phones and make inquiries on rental rates, but developer Bob Buvyer said it would be best to hold off for two more weeks. “People are calling, but we’re not yet taking applications,” Buvyer

said Monday, noting that a rate structure has yet to be completed. By the end of the month that should be worked out and a system to field inquiries will also be put in place at the same time.

“Then, hopefully, we can have tenants in the building in April.” The project, he said, is at the 80 per cent complete mark—from where they See Rental A6

President of chamber feeling optimistic for 2012 Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

With a challenging 2011 now in the rearview mirror, the Westbank and District Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to a brighter 2012. “It (was) a challenging year, there’s no doubt,” said Craig Brown, president of the Westbank Chamber. One of the main challenges came in February, 2011, when the Chamber opted to stop running the organizing committee for Westside tourism, handing that responsibility back to local governments. “What we did is we looked at our core values …advocacy, driving new members and education through our membership wasn’t really being taken care of,” said Brown. He said letting go of the tourism role was “the correct move” and allowed the Chamber to focus more on its own memberships.

“Same thing with the visitor centre, we chose to give that back and have the district take over. It really wasn’t allowing us to do what we do best— focus on our members.” Brown added that the district has done an “amazing” job with the Visitor Information Centre, moving it into the museum. Now with the tourism responsibilities—which had taken up nearly 60 per cent of Chamber staff time—out of the way, Brown said that the focus has shifted to recruiting new members. “The focus is really working with our members and providing what they pay for: Education, advocacy, networking, and all of the other levels that the Chamber is supposed to deliver.” One of West Kelowna’s biggest concerns is its downtown core. Brown said the Chamber is in support of the District of West Kelowna’s plans to revitalize the

Along with making its own future brighter, Brown hopes the Cham-

ber’s relationship with the District of West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation improves. “We would really like to improve our communication with them. I think in the past the biggest thing with the Chamber and all levels (of local

Cell phones cause 911 havoc Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Pocket diallers and dead cell phones reaching out to emergency services from apparent obsolescence, are causing headaches for local Mounties. Last year the Southeast District Operational Communications Centre conducted a time measurement survey to determine how much time was spent dealing with abandoned 911 calls, and the total was overwhelming. “Over a 30-day period an average of 133.4 abandoned calls were received daily,” said Con-

st. Kris Clark, noting that last week an officer complained of dealing with five abandoned calls within an hour. “This amounted to just over seven man hours per day, in the communications centre, but also resulted in over 28 files being created for police officers to investigate.” Each of those files, ballparked Clark, causes another hour of work as Mounties have to conduit background checks, attend the registered owners home, determine that emergency services are not required and then document the file.

Basically, these calls amount to more work hours than actual hours in the day and the culprit was largely cell phones. “Over the last two years, police have received about 46,000 abandoned 911 calls a year, 26,000 of which were from cell phones,” said Clark, noting that deactivated cell phones and pocket diallers are the problem. When it comes to pocket diallers, Clark said a simple follow-up call to explain what’s happened is the best way forward. He also recommends wearing a holster and figuring out how to lock

your keypad. Deactivated cellphones, however, are a bit tricker. Turns out that the service may be shut off, but 911 calls are forever possible if a phone has the slightest charge. Although it may not be a problem if the phone stays in a drawer, it becomes an issue when they’re turned over to kiddies who like the bright lights and buttons. To ensure that doesn’t happen, Clark recommends removing the battery. No bright lights to entertain the kiddies, but no distracting the police from their real work, either.

government) was a lack of communication.” Classifying 2012 as “a year of action,” Brown said that the Chamber has several new initiatives planned. These include a six-times-a-year newsletter to keep West Kelowna educated in what

the Chamber is involved with, a September trade show to bring local businesses together and a series of lunch and learns and drop-in sessions to allow members additional time to network. He also credited the Chamber with having

good leadership in the past. “I think we have a very strong board—the directors work very hard and the level of communication within this community is excellent. I think, as a group, we’re in for a good year.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Food banks the real winners in Canstruction competition Canstruction Kelowna—a partnership between Rotary Club of Kelowna, the Rotary Club of Kelowna Foundation, SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise), The Kelowna Community Food Bank, and The Kelowna Salvation Army— raised over 18,000 cans of food and over $4,000 cash to be split between the two food banks. “We’re very grateful for all the support the community has shown. This donation will go a long way to helping families in our community,” said Maj. Ron Cartmell with the Kelowna Salvation Army. “Canstruction is a great way to raise the issue of hunger in Kelowna. It is a unique event that gets everyone involved, by way of teams, sponsors, judges, do-

nors and the general public who were able to vote for their favourite structure either in person or online” added Lenetta Parry, associate executive director for the Kelowna Community Food Bank. The various category winners for Canstruction 2012 are: Overall winner was Save-On-Foods with honourable mention to UBCO Engineering and Waterplay; SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) won Best use of Label; Dorothea Walker Elementary won two awards for Structural Ingenuity and for People’s Choice; and Best Meal was given to Kelowna Rotaract. “We have already received interest from two new teams who would like to participate next year” said Gordon Savage, Kelowna Rotary Club president.

NEWS W BIG BACON FAN

Barenaked Lady offers recipe flavour secret Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The best chefs in the country put their pride— and their food—on the line this past weekend as they tried to capture gold at the 2012 Canadian Culinary Championships in Kelowna. But, according to a high profile guest of the event, success was dependent on only one key ingredient. “I’m going to say the edge is going to go tonight to whoever deploys the secret weapon of bacon,” said Barenaked Ladies lead singer, Ed Robertson, hours before the grand finale.

“Add bacon to anything—it immediately gets better.” Robertson arrived in Kelowna on Saturday afternoon to attend the Canadian Culinary Championships Grand Finale at the Delta Grand Okanagan. The group’s frontman has been busy working on a new record and also working on a Broadway show. “It’s called Spiderman 2,” said Robertson, joking. “I can’t tell you (the name) yet, but it’s a big one.” He’s also spent many Thursday nights hearing his hugely popular theme

song on the 2010 People’s Choice Awards’ Favourite TV Comedy. “I love the Big Bang Theory. I was so thrilled to have written that theme song and I’m so happy for the show’s success. We’ve had a great relationship with them all the way through.” This past weekend, Robertson entertained guests of the culinary event by stepping on the stage with Barney Bentall, an “old pal” of Robertson’s. Along with determining the top cooking talent in the nation, the Canadian Culinary Championships was also a fundraiser for Canada’s Olympic ath-

ent destiny than was originally anticipated when ground first broken 2002, not to mention the ensuing years when its failure prompted community speculation. Ground was broken on the project in 2002, but it was just a yawning hole in Glenmore until construction started in earnest by 2005. In 2002, The Conservatory was supposed to ring in at just under $14 million. By the time construction was in full swing again in 2008 the first phase of project was expected to cost something

closer to $29 million. There was no means to recoup costs from investors who purchased their suites at a cost of $240 a square foot, as the developers could only increase prices by 27 per cent. By the time the property went into receivership, costs were more in the range of $470 and $550 a square foot. The project still moved forward, but as construction reached the 84 per cent completion mark, developers had to go back to the bank to do some refinancing, and the project eventually went into receivership.

NEWS W BUSINESS

Industrious founders of Ant Hill Collective target 2012 opening Some 40 respondents indicate a desire to be part of Kelowna’s new collaborative, sustainable business hub: Ant Hill Collective. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It appears there will be 40 or more people joining the Ant Hill Collective founders in their quest to build a sustainable business hub. After creating a buzz last fall with the collaborative office concept, the group conducted a survey to confirm interest this month. It elicited over 40 responses from interested business owners, freelancers, artists and independent workers who connected with the call for likeminded operators intent on “making the world a better place.”

“We’ve got a lot more people than I expected,” said Angela Reid, owner of GreenStep Sustainability Coaching and one of the first collective members. “I think having that many like-minded people in the same room could create some real sparks.” The concept builds on similar office spaces in Vancouver (The HiVE), Victoria and Toronto, which offer business cost savings, such as shared reception services, and an office scene where collective members can work and intermingle. In so doing, the environment is designed to help cross-pollinate ideas, in the vein of what incu-

bators have done for the tech sector, with businesses functioning separately, though with the ability to collaborate on everything from clients to ideas. “It’s like working from a coffee shop. You expect that there might be a little bit of distraction and background noise, but you also get a place to call work,” Reid said. The concept is designed to address some of the work/life balance issues small business owners can struggle with when living and working in the same physical space; and it gives single-person business operators the option to have co-workers. “Having my own company, I walk out my front door and no one’s there. This way I could feel more connected to other

like-minded people,” Suzanne Wood, owner of Keen Energy Solutions, told the Capital News as the initial meetings got underway last fall. Wood is one of the founding members, along with Reid and her GreenStep business partners, Lindsay and Darrell Eason. Mechanical consulting engineer Emmanuel Lavoie, principal for Rocky Point Engineering is also part of the group, along with entrepreneur Fraser Wilson, of Axiom News, who is helping with the business development services the collective plans offer members. At this point, the group is looking at owning the actual workspace and targeting the end of the year to have the doors open; but the business model is still under discussion.

FOUNDING MEMBERS of the Ant Hill Collective are meeting at the Streaming

Café weekly, video conferencing with members away on business, in a quest to bring the building to fruition by the end of 2012. Those hoping to have a permanent space in the building will likely be offered the option to purchase shares, with other interested parties able to rent “hot desks” periodically without a major upfront investment. A plan is in the works to use community bonds as part of the initial financing as the project moves forward, either with a new

construction model or by retrofitting an older building. At this point, the group is looking at roughly 1,500 to 1,700 square feet of office space, likely in the downtown core, though with an eye to future growth. “Once the place is built, and people can feel it and touch it, I think we’ll get a lot of interest

and we want to able to accommodate that as well,” Reid said. Their website, www. anthillcollective.ca, includes a copy of the survey and the group is still accepting surveys or queries from those interested in being a part of the project. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Fiscal waste being hidden

lients of Community Living BC in Maple Ridge endured much aggravation and stress when they received word funding for their important programs was to be cut due to money shortages in Victoria. Only publicity through the media forced an about-face and allowed the program to continue. In Kamloops, a successful program in which seniors could access help with work around the house and yard met its end

due to a declared lack of money at the provincial level, once federal funding ended. There are countless other examples of worthwhile programs that have died or are on life support due to lack of funding. Here’s the thing: There is money for these vital programs. The cash exists, only the provincial government prefers to spend it in all sorts of ridiculous ways. That seniors program that died in Kamloops? It needed $487,000 a year to run. That Community Living BC

program in Maple Ridge that employed mentally challenged people at a recycling depot? It was going to be nixed and needed only $270,000 a year to run. Thanks to the dogged work of Vancouver Sun reporter Jonathan Fowlie, and despite B.C. Liberal attempts to hide the information, it has been revealed the B.C. Liberals wasted $780,000 in 2010 on designing and printing pro-HST pamphlets that were to be mailed to homes across the province. The Liberals decided against

the mailout and simply destroyed the pamphlets—wasting $780,000 of your money, enough cash to fund for one year both of the above-mentioned programs. The B.C. Liberal government fought hard against releasing this information to Fowlie, trying to hide it blew nearly a million dollars of your money without a second thought. What else has this government done in the name of wasteful spending that has yet to come to light?

UNDECIDED

TUESDAY QUESTION:

Clark delivers nothing new ‘phone speech’ over radio waves

all it the ‘phone speech’ instead of the Throne speech. Premier Christy Clark used a Vancouver radio talk show microphone Monday to layout her government’s plans for the spring session of the B.C. Legislature. And by doing so, she bypassed the traditional pomp and ceremony of having the lieutenant-governor read the speech in the Legislature. And it was a good thing too—Steven Point would have had little to say. While Throne speeches are notoriously short on substance, this faux version was simply a rehash of what Clark’s Liberal government has done or is already doing. There was nothing new.

In the end, Clark’s appearance ahead of today’s opening of the Legislative session, was little more than nine minutes of uninterrupted political advertising, followed by an appearance on a radio talk show. And I’m betting most people paid little or no attention. Riding lower in public opinion polls than her NDP counterpart Adrian Dix, Clark’s radio appearance continued her recent moves to put herself out front of her party on everything from the recent announcement of a new jail in the Osoyoos area, to trade with China and energy an-

nouncements in Northern B.C. She says polls put out more than a year before the next election don’t mean anything but it would appear she doesn’t really believe that. The Liberals are floundering at the moment and as the leader, the responsibility for that rests with Clark. She may have spent her first year as premier cleaning up the messes left behind by Gordon Campbell’s government but now she has to chart a new course. And if Monday’s ‘phone speech’ was the start, it was not a strong one. Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

W HEALTH CARE

KGH ‘has to grow with area’ populaton To the editor: I read with interest the two articles by Alistair Waters in the Feb 9 issue of the Capital News. One article (City’s Popularity Reflected in Population Growth) reported on the population growth in the Central Okanagan (up by 10.8 per cent since 2006). The other article (IHA Hit with $3.4-million Funding Clawback) reported on Interior Health Authority’s inability to meet provincially man-

dated targets for knee, hip and cataract surgeries, which resulted in a loss of revenue for IHA to the tune of $3.4 million, the highest for all Health Authorities in the province. Kelowna General Hospital is over-capacity every day. A typical day of late will show four beds in every medical ward hallway and 30 plus admitted patients in the hall of the emergency department. As well, there will be up to 10 ambulance stretchers in the ambulance bay

with patients with ambulance personnel unable to leave because there are no beds or nurses to accept these patients. Why is this happening? Because the hospital has not had an increase in acute care beds since the Royal building was opened 10 years ago. A quick look around the emergency room hallway will show a disproportionate number of seniors waiting for a bed on a ward. You might ask: what about the big new tower

about to be opened? The new tower will not add any new acute care beds to the hospital. It’s for day surgery and outpatient procedures. Seven years ago, the growing (up now to over 43,000) population on Kelowna’s Westside was promised an Urgent Care Centre (UCC), but have now been told to wait “at least five years” by IHA’s CEO, Dr. Robert Halpenny. IHA must get their head out of the sand and

Energy surcharge on heat pumps To the editor: I have been told by a representative of FortisBC that my electricity bill will increase by $392 per year with the upcoming plan to penalize households that use more than the average amount of electricity. I have no option but to use this electricity as I have a heat pump and there is no natural gas service in my area. In other respects we try to conserve electrical energy as much as possible. We even reduce our use by powering off our

TV at night so it is not even using standby mode! We have had an energy audit done and have done extensive upgrading of our home in order to save energy. The additional fee per kilowatt hour that we (and no doubt all heat pump owners) are scheduled to pay is not only unfair it is counterintuitive as it will increase the production of greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging the use of natural gas and other fossil and wood fuels over the renewable resources

of electrical production. It is apparently obvious that Fortis would much rather have people use their natural gas than the much more environmentally friendly electricity. They are, in effect, putting a tax on heat pumps. This is hardly environmentally responsible and in fact is undermining the efforts of our governments to reduce global warming. Tim Rieger, Kelowna

NEWS W MLA’S REPORT

W SCOTTY DAWSON

The future West Kelowna health centre A good guy who will be missed O ‘‘ I

ne of the most rewarding roles an MLA can play is helping get things done. Quite often it’s behind the scenes, and sometimes it’s part of a long-term strategy, with few immediate results or headlines. But it’s one of the most important aspects of the job. For example, some West Kelowna residents have been calling for a Westbank Urgent Care Centre to be established. To its proponents, an urgent care centre is a natural idea. It’s been talked about for some time—well before the District of West Kelowna was incorporated four years ago. Prior to that, Interior Health went so far as to acquire land in West Kelowna. But when a hypothetical Westbank Urgent

Ben Stewart Care Centre was first discussed, West Kelowna and the entire Okanagan was a very different place. Since 2003, Kelowna General Hospital has seen tremendous investment and expansion. This continues in May, with the opening of the new Centennial Tower and East Pandosy buildings. All told, KGH will have five new operating rooms, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.

West Kelowna is well served for emergency services. It’s worth pointing out that KGH is one of just two tertiary care hospitals run by Interior Health. When it comes to things like cardiac services, the Okanagan will have a similar level of service and facilities as major centres like Vancouver and Victoria. In January, the West Kelowna Residents’ Association and I co-hosted a standing-room-only public meeting that featured Interior Health chief executive officer Dr. Robert Halpenny. First and foremost, we want to work with the community to find a solution that works. Whatever it becomes, the Interior Health site is a key component of the district’s neighbourhood and downtown plans.

I AGREE…THAT A COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE WOULD BE FAR MORE APPROPRIATE FOR WEST KELOWNA.

One of the things we discussed was to make sure Interior Health and the district do all the necessary legwork for any future facility to succeed. One way that might happen sooner would be for West Kelowna to consider finding some private sector involvement. That doesn’t mean a private health clinic, but help in creating a good business plan. As Dr. Halpenny notes, there is no “build it and they will come” approach to creating a successful health centre. That applies to any health facility, be it emergency, outpatient, or lab services.

Just because a new facility is constructed, doctors and lab facilities are under no obligation to set up shop there. Part of the process must involve consulting with local medical practitioners—everyone from family doctors and specialists down to radiologists and lab technicians. It’s vital to find out firsthand what they’re looking for. With that in mind, any new facility needs a business plan, and an idea of which physicians and services would be interested in relocating. I agree with Dr. Halpenny that a community health centre would be far more appropriate for West Kelowna. But we also have to make sure that would work for our existing facilities and personnel. Because when it comes to getting things done, you have to think long-term. Ben Stewart is the Lieral MLA for WestsideKelowna. www.benstewartmla.bc.ca

am so sad to say that the music scene in Kelowna recently lost another of the old guard last week. Scotty Dawson, a trombonist, bassist and just an all-around good guy, was a good friend. Although we didn’t see each other very often in recent years, when we did it was always special. When I was 16, I had the privilege of playing drums for Scotty on several occasions. What a thrill that was. When I first began to play, it was with the big band at Kelowna Secondary School under Brian Todd and I was able to get enough “swing” in my playing to fit in. But it was Scotty along with his close pal along with one of my mentors, Ray Friesen, and pianist Lynn Vaughn who helped me find the groove. My “shuffle feel” that is dominant in my playing

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett today would not be if it weren’t for those wonderful hours of playing the great music of the 1930’s and ‘40s. In referring to Kelowna’s music old guard, what a group of musicians that was—the great Red Hughes, the talented and gentle Art Vipond, the man with the beat Charlie Pettman and I can’t forget Hart Egg and his orchestra. But for Scotty, he was not just a musician as he was also a talented artisan when it came to cabinetry and carpentry. He and his brother Don built our family’s new garden centre in 1967 which stayed in place for 30 years on Ethel Street. He built my mom’s kitchen cabinets and then a few years later built some for Donna and I in our first home. He was the go-to man whenever I needed information on how to build an addition to the greenhouses and was always willing to not only give advice, but to come over and show me in person. But my relationship goes further than that. My sister’s first boyfriend was none other than Scotty’s oldest son Stuart, who we recently tragically lost, and like most young boys I was thrilled to have an older “brother.” Even though Stuart and Joan eventually took different paths, I always thought of Stuart as a brother-in-law and Scotty like a father-in-law. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Scotty’s dear wife Helen, their sons Doug, Ian, Gregory, and the entire Dawson clan. I regret that I couldn’t attend the service last Saturday as I was on the bus heading down to the garden show in Seattle. But I’m confident that Scotty is now putting together a band second to none. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 Saturday mornings, 8 to 10 a.m.

Jobs skated against the flow I

CONTRIBUTED

AS PART of her Master of Arts degree in interdisciplinary graduate studies, Emma Talbott recently conducted a survey of graduates and alumni at the UBC Okanagan campus and found the majority of them are leaving the area after graduation.

Study: UBCO grads leave Kelowna to find jobs The data is in and the research has confirmed the Okanagan is losing many of its young people. A variety of factors are converging and driving youth from the area, a UBC study has found. Emma Talbott says a survey, conducted as part of her Master of Arts research at UBC Okanagan, found the majority of graduates and alumni are not staying in the Okanagan—but many of them would like to. “I learned most are intending to, or have already left Kelowna,” said Talbott, adding those were the results she was expecting, but admits she didn’t think the numbers would be so high. Of the surveyed students who graduated in 2011, 51 per cent said they were going to leave the area.

Alumni who said they left the Okanagan came in at 67 per cent. Talbott said for most a combination of factors drove them to move—a lack of career opportunities in their chosen field, the high price of housing and high cost of living were the main common factors. But Talbott came across a reason she did not expect: Attitude. “Quite a few people said the attitude of Kelowna is part of the reason. They found it quite stifling,” she said, adding comments like “not forward thinking” and “conservative” were also used. Comments were also made about how some local companies will not hire someone without at least five years of See Jobs A13

went for a skate on Kelowna’s downtown, outdoor rink this weekend, enjoying a sunny, mild winter day in the Okanagan. As I lapped the ice, two things became stuck in my mind. The first was that there always seems to be a guy on the rink who insists on skating in the wrong direction, against the flow of skaters. He will tend to be a confident skater, weaving in and out of the oncoming traffic, oblivious—or perhaps just insensitive —to the concern he causes to everyone else on the rink (Mr. Black Toque, you know who you are!). The second thing on my mind was the subject of this column, Steve Jobs. The late Mr. Jobs was in the news this week as FBI files were released in which he was described unflatteringly as having (among other things) the tendency to “twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals.” Having just finished Walter Isaacson’s excellent book “Steve Jobs” (which echoes the FBI reports), I have a sense that Jobs could be described as an against-the-flow skater. Isaacson’s biography is a fantastic read. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the story of Apple and of how computers have changed, and changed

YOU WORK HERE

Robert Smithson again, the world over the last 30 years. One lasting impression of Jobs from Isaacson’s book is of a user interface genius who lacked many social interaction skills himself. No small irony, there. We have a tendency to deify public figures who meet an early demise without really knowing much about who they were or what made them tick. The examples of this phenomenon are many— perhaps the late Jack Layton is the most recent instance here in Canada. Jobs was a man who carefully, and effectively, sculpted his public image. The impression many of us are left with was likely more a product of his tendency to distort reality than of reality itself. If Isaacson’s book is accurate—and there seems to be an overwhelming amount of firsthand evidence that it is —Jobs was a mercilessly demanding boss who loudly and harshly criticized the work of Apple’s employees. There was no middle ground for Jobs, and his style was more akin to

that of a dictator than of a diplomat. He also seemed to have a constant need for an enemy against whom his Apple troops were charged with defending the interests of the computing world. Whether it was IBM or Microsoft and his longtime adversary, Bill Gates, or a number of other lesser players, readers of the book can’t help but form the impression that he was lost without some real or imagined invader to fend off. Jobs displayed many unconventional business habits. One that stuck with me was his tendency —when his decisions or his power were challenged—to break down crying during high-level business meetings. This is recounted so many times during Isaacson’s narrative that one is left wondering whether the tears were real or feigned. Jobs’ ideas about computers were, of course, also highly unconventional. From the beginning, he sought to control all aspects—hardware and software—of the user’s experience. He fought against allowing Apple’s software to become an open plat-

form accessible by independent programmers (as Microsoft had encouraged). He also went out of his way to ensure that Apple’s hardware was inaccessible and thus not amenable to modification or enhancement by tinkerers. It’s easy, now that Apple has become one of the richest companies in the world, to fall into the pattern of thinking that Jobs hit one home run after another from the outset. However, until his return to Apple and the development of smashhit products such as the iPod and iPhone, many of his efforts (including the famed MacIntosh) amounted to little more than industry oddities. That’s not to say that those products didn’t advance the technology. Arguably, the greatest innovation Apple popularized (but, notably, didn’t invent) was the point and click graphical interface which it acquired from Xerox— and which debuted on the MacIntosh. This has since become the standard for all personal computer user interfaces. See Smithson A13

BUSINESS W BOBBI KITTLE

Redefining her life leads entrepreneur down a new path I t has amazed me that over my past five years living in the OkanaganValley, I have met the most interesting and genuinely talented entrepreneurs in totally unanticipated moments. This past week was no exception. I had decided to stop at Starbucks for a quick coffee fix a few weeks ago in Guisachan Mall in Kelowna. I bumped into two gentlemen who I knew, and we were soon joined by Andre Blanleil, owner of Andre’s Electronics when he’s not sitting on Kelowna city council. In a flash of lightspeed, a young woman appeared in fitness gear before us, presenting a picture of haste with a coffee in her hand in readiness to fly out the door. My new coffee talkers and I felt obliged to ini-

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young tiate hasty conversation with the young woman, asking if she had she just completed a run or if she was at work. As quickly as our questions flew in her direction came her reply: She had her own fitness venture and contracted her credentials and skills to a variety of clients in the Central Okanagan area. Never one to pass up a chance to chat with entrepreneurs, I quickly asked for a business card. In a heartbeat appeared two business cards stealthfully placed in my

hand for later reference. And, after that introduction, just like that the young woman flew out the door with her coffee held high so she wouldn’t spill it. That person in a hurry was Bobbi Kittle, selfemployed fitness entrepreneur and owner of Pursuit Fitness in Kelowna. This is her venture story that I learned when we met later on. Born in Dawson Creek with one brother, Kittle’s father was a selfemployed entrepreneur himself who dabbled in several ventures while she was growing up. After completing high school in 1993, Kittle fell in love early in her young life and married at the tender age of 18. Much to her dismay after her two children were born, Kittle found herself saddled with con-

siderable weight gain, which left her feeling quite incomplete and demoralized about herself. Having not grown up in a healthy lifestyle family environment, Kittle found herself badly needing knowledge and guidance to get her weight back under control. She began her crusade reading books on fitness and nutrition and making dramatic adjustment to her diet. She began walking every night, then jogging. She lost 50 lbs. in just five months. Yes folks, I said 50 lbs…and, her selfconfidence, energy and sense of well-being went through the roof. I love this story because it exemplifies what can be done and for the

ented young man in West Kelowna who has developed Apple apps for electronic media as well who she might be able to partner with. So here is an opportunity for you to collect some of your friends and invite Kittle to design a front lawn or beach front fitness program “just for you.” Please check out Bobbi Kittle’s website at PursuitFitness.ca and you will see how fit you can become.

ality and Kittle has never looked back. Today, as a single mother, she finds herself devoted to her children and her clients. Focusing on all levels of seniors’ fitness programs, including in-water fitness, Kittle closed out our enjoyable interview with the revelation that she is exploring new avenues to serve clients in the Okanagan, including her quarterly fitness Boot Camps. She advised me that she is also tackling an enhanced marketing strategy for Pursuit Fitness as spring approaches I reminded her that a new promotion for fitness instructors is Smartphone Apps for the fitness industry, and that we have a tal-

uring a marriage breakdown, a couple will make a decision to co-operate to minimize the joint tax bill, or will make a decision to begin a dispute with each other. Separating and divorcing can be time consuming and expensive. Not agreeing is expensive. Many couples start off by trying to work things out and try to talk through the division of matrimonial assets. If both sides are willing to co-operate and work together, costs can be minimal. If you decide not to agree on the many aspects of separation, you will each need your own lawyer for independent legal advice.

right reasons. With her newfound strength and identity, Kittle decided to take some fitness programs in order to help others achieve the same level of success she had attained. By now, with her children in elementary school, Kittle saw a counsellor to assist her in her new self-vision for about a year. She told me it was during that experience in rebuilding her belief in herself that she embraced the thought of becoming a self-employed fitness entrepreneur, or “mompreneur” to coin the new phrase entering our business vocabulary. Hence in 2002, Pursuit Fitness, a mobile fitness venture, became a re-

Any liabilities will be deducted, including mortgage, lines of credit, family loans, credit card debt and unpaid taxes. The net amount is assets minus liabilities. The net amount is divided evenly between the spouses. The net amount is also net of legal fees.

Under current tax rules, child support is not taxed as income to the recipient or deducted from income by the paying parent. Spousal support payments are deductible to the payer and taxable to the recipient if they meet a number of well-defined and strict criteria. When parents divorce, they want to continue to share their responsibilities as parents equally. Joint custody means that both of you have custody of the children. In other words, you both continue to share in making all the major decisions concerning the children (about discipline, school, major outings, holidays etc). If there is joint custody, there are typically many different living arrangements.

Children may live with each parent about the same amount of time or live mostly with one parent. RRSPs that were accumulated during the marriage can be equalized using a tax-free rollover. A legal government form a T2220 is used for this spousal rollover. This avoids any taxation when the registered investments are transferred between spouses. Pensions from employers will become part of the division of assets. Canada Pension Plan credits that were accumulated over the years that you were together will be equalized.

If you get married again, a new marriage will give your new spouse legal rights to your estate, possibly spousal support and a share of your matrimonial assets.

Stifling lifestyle sends students elsewhere Jobs from A11 work experience, but to get that experience they have to leave the area. Of those who stayed, they did so because they had a job, but the majority of those who found work said they got those jobs by knowing someone at the company. “Only one or two said they got a job by handing out resumes,” she said. Many of those leaving said they would like to stay in the area, and

50 per cent said they hope they can move back to Kelowna when they get some work experience. One recommendation Talbott has is for the community and UBCO to work together to establish more programs so students can gain that valuable work experience. Talbott said Saskatchewan has a graduate retention program where a graduate who works in that Prairie province can receive a portion of their tuition back, to a maximum of $20,000.

Talbott says the offer applies to graduates from any province who move to Saskatchewan to work. Now that she has officially graduated, what are Talbott’s plans? She says she will likely move to another province because she cannot find employment in her career field in the Okanagan.

t’s important for seniors to have their legal documents in place prior to the seniors requiring them. The documents need to be written while seniors have the mental capacity to understand and appreciate their financial and health situations, the trustworthiness of the proposed adult or company to be legally appointed, what the documents mean, and if and how the documents both take effect or can be revoked. Seniors should dis-

SENIORS’ CONCERNS

Sharen Marteny cuss their individual requirements with a lawyer to ensure their documents are properly written so their requests are executed as they wish. A Power of Attorney document authorizes seniors to appoint another

adult or company to be legally appointed to act on their behalf for property or financial affairs. It can’t be used to either make a will or impose health care directions. If a senior does not have the capacity to make a Power of Attorney, then a Standard Representation Agreement or a Committeeship should be considered Unlike a Power of Attorney agreement, a standard representative agreement can authorize deci-

sions concerning personal and health care matters. A representative agreement can also be more expensive than a Power of Attorney because of the expanded scope of the document and the increased complexities of signing it. The Representative Agreement Act allows a senior who has the mental capacity to do so to appoint a “representative” with the authority to deal with or make decisions concerning a senior’s personal and health care is-

sues or property and financial affairs in accordance with the terms of the agreement. And more than one representative can be appointed. A representative agreement can become effective on the date the agreement is signed, or on a specified future date. This is a document that can be used to plan for incapacity. There are two types of representative agreements—the standard agreement and the enhanced agreement.

The standard agreement authorizes a representative to deal with basic day-to-day health care decisions and financial matters. The enhanced agreement can authorize a representative to make decisions with respect to more complex health matters, including life support decisions. The legislation requires that a monitor be appointed for an enhanced agreement unless the appointment is specifically waived.

A monitor must be an adult who is appointed to supervise the actions of the representative. The anxiety of seniors should be eased by having legal documents properly written and witnessed. The documents should be updated on a regular basis to ensure that any changes required are made and that the choices remain those of the individual senior.

Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan (right) presented Kelowna resident James Shackleton with the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation last week. The presentation was made during an informal ceremony in Kelowna. “I am proud to recognize such a remarkable individual who has devoted his life to serving his fellow comrades,” said Cannan. “After bravely serving our country, he has provided care and comfort to countless veterans and their families, at a time when they needed it most. Mr. Shackleton is truly a deserving recipient of this award.” Shackleton is a Canadian Forces veteran. He has also held almost every executive position in his Royal Canadian Legion branch, including vice-president and president. He is a member of the Branch Colour Party and, for the past 10 years, has made the arrangements for the Legion portion of funeral services. This involves visiting bereaved families and funeral homes, liaise with clergy and arranging the attendance of Legion members at funeral services. Shackleton also devotes considerable time to visiting veterans and widows at home, in hospitals and in retirement homes. The Commendation is presented to individuals who have contributed to the care and well-being of veterans and to the remembrance of their contributions, sacrifices and achievements. It is intended primarily for veterans, but in some circumstances may also be awarded to non-veterans.

WEST

W BUSINESS DECORATING CONTEST

Westwood seniors show their Kraft Hockeyville spirit While Kraft Hockeyville seems to have brought out the hockey spirit in West Kelowna, the Westwood Retirement Resort took that hockey spirit to a whole new level. Westwood was among the participants in the Hockeyville business decorating competition held last week. When Horizon Travel and Sunquest vacations challenged local businesses back in January to show off their Hockeyville spirit, offering up a trip to Cancun as a prize for the best decorated location, businesses across the community put on their creative hats and strutted their stuff. Last week, a judging panel of Kraft Hockeyville volunteers, local media and representatives from Horizon Travel, visited local businesses to determine a winner. “We saw everyone from Westbank Chiropractic to TD Bank and Interior Savings. Everyone had done an amazing job, but Westwood was the hands down winner,” said West Kelowna Kraft Hockeyville campaign cochair Andrew Deans.

WESTWOOD Retirement Resort residents celebrate their victory in the Hockeyville business decorating contest judged lat week. Finishing second (right photo) was Pinnacle Physiotherapy in Westbank . “They had sewn nearly a hundred of their own Hockeyville jerseys, they decorated the entire inside of their building and even put on a ‘walker’ hock-

ey game for us, complete with referee and scoreclock,” Deans said. “It was unbelievable. We knew almost right away they’d be taking the title.”

But Pinnacle Physiotherapy in Westbank was one local business that gave Westwood a run for their money, earning second place in the competition for their efforts. Pinnacle decorated their entire clinic with streamers, hockey equipment, player lockers and Kraft Mac & Cheese boxes hanging from the ceiling. Third place, judges determined, was a tie between TD Bank and Interior Savings, both of which went to great lengths to show off their passion for Hockeyville. “It was great to see so many local businesses getting behind our Hockeyville bid,” Deans said. “And even though the contest is over, we’re urging other businesses to jump on board and do their part to show their Hockeyville spirit. “They can contact Manchester Signs for

W FLAG DAY

Westbank Lions spread pride in our flag Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

On Feb. 15, 1965, the official ceremony inaugurating the Canadian flag was held on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Forty-six years later, the Westbank Lions are still teaching the flag’s importance. Members of the Westbank Lions Club will visit eight West Kelowna elementary schools on Wednesday to celebrate Flag Day. The initiative is part of the Lions’ Project Pride.

“We go to Grade 1s and talk about (what it means) to be a Canadian and what the Canadian flag represents,” said Bonnie Barr, with the Westbank Lions Club. “We do a little talk about participating in your community and helping your neighbour, helping your friend or helping your mom and dad.” Barr has only been with the Westbank Lions Club since November 2011; however, she jumped at the opportunity to help out with the Flag Day project because it is an oppor-

+ HST

tunity to teach children and give back to the community. “I just think it’s a very good cause. I think it’s very important for these children to understand the meaning behind a flag,” Barr said. “A lot of people can grow up all their lives and not quite understand what it stands for, what it represents, the importance of it. “Being proud of your flag means being proud of your country.”

The Kinsmen & Kinettes of Canada have been partners in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis for over 46 years. In that time, the clubs have raised over an average of $1 million dollars per year. Each year we continue to support results in another year added to the life expectancy of those who suffer this dreaded disease. In the 1960s, it was expected that a child with CF might live to see their 6th birthday. Today, many CF sufferers are surviving well into their 40s and are having grandchildren. In Kelowna, the local Kinsmen Club has raised their contribution of funds for Cystic Fibrosis through the Pub Putt Tour for 24 years. In addition to fundraising the much needed donations, the club also strives to increase public awareness of Cystic Fibrosis.

TALIA WOOD will be joined by her fellow elementary students at First Lutheran Christian School to launch their own Read & Recycle event on Thursday to help promote literacy.

Students take on literacy challenge Students at First Lutheran Christian School will celebrate literacy with the school’s Read & Recycle event on Feb.16. “Several of my Grade 5 students approached me with idea to create a book exchange event. They thought it was a green way to get something new to read,” said Susan Noble, a teacher at First Lutheran Christian School. “Children throughout the school are excited about reading and looking forward to seeing what books they can recycle to their personal collections.” Students are dropping off gently-used books from their collections at home this week and then next week, each class will have an opportunity to shop the collection to pick out ‘new to me’ books to take home.

“I love, love, love to read and I want to help the environment, so my friends and I asked our teacher how we could do both,” said Tessa Monaghan, 10, a student at First Lutheran Christian School. “We all came up with the idea of Read and Recycle—doing something good for the earth and getting more books to read at the same time.” Karine Veldhoen, chief learning officer for the school, supports this studentled initiative. “Literacy is a critical skill for the 21st century, as is leadership development and when combined; it is a model of success,” said Veldhoen. “Our teachers foster this kind of work by our students to develop their leadership skills while creating a fun and engaging program for our entire school.”

SPORTS W KAITLYNN GIVEN

UBCO keeps elite athlete at home

VANESSA HODAK/CONTRIBUTOR

KELOWNA SECONDARY SCHOOL volleyball player Kaitlynn Given has opted to stay home and attend UBCO as part of the women’s volleyball team.

The UBC Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball team has stepped up to keep a volleyball star at home. Kaitlynn Given, the AAAA provincial championship high school MVP, has decided to stay home and play for the Heat next season in UBC Okanagan’s second year in Canada West competition. Given captained the Kelowna Owls championship squad and was the MVP of the provincial tournament this past season adding to an impressive resume. Along with her championship MVP, Given played in the BC Summer Games for Team Okanagan, and at the Western Canadian Elite Championships on Team BC. This past fall Given was voted number three overall in the Province’s Top 10 recruits feature, ranking as the top outside hitter in B.C. Given’s high school coach of three years, Tony Sodaro, can’t talk enough about how great of an addition she will be to the

Heat program: “Kaitlynn is clearly one of the best players in the province,” said Sodaro. “When you win MVP at the AAAA championships, you definitely come with some skill. Beyond her amazing power hitting skills and passing ability, she is a tremendous team leader, probably the best captain that I have ever had the chance to work with. She did a great job of bringing in the new Grade 11’s this season and making them feel as part of the team as everyone else. She just rises to every challenge I throw her way.” Sodaro likes Given’s chances of contributing to the Heat as soon as even her first year. “I think she’ll bring some quiet confidence right off the bat. She’s an extremely talented power hitter with great ball control skills, she’ll be able to step in and pass at any level. I think she’s just going to be one of those players who comes in and makes an immediate impact,” he said. Given says also looks

forward to entering UBC Okanagan in the fall and has registered as a general studies student. She has decided that home is where the heart is. “My first choice, when I was younger, I felt that for sure I wanted to go away from home, and I thought I was ready for that,” she said. “Getting the opportunity to watch the Heat play at such a high level made me think about what I really wanted. The players on the team, they all seem amazing. They have such strong personalities that work so well together.” Coach Steve Manuel is excited to start working with Given:

“We are thrilled that Kaitlynn is joining our program. We have been keeping an eye on her since she was 14 years old. She stood out then as an athlete with some special abilities and we are happy with how she has progressed throughout her school and club careers.” On the court Manuel raves about Kaitlynn’s on court abilities adding: “Once you get past the obvious that she is a very good attacker with a great jump and the ability to play well above the height of the net, you start noticing how easily and quickly she moves in the back court and how nice of a touch she has when she is passing the ball. When you take all the above qualities and add that to the fact the she is another proven winner that we are adding to our squad I believe it’s another great step for our program.” Given will continue to play with the Kelowna Volleyball Club this spring before donning the Heat jersey for coach Manuel and her new teammates in September of 2012.

Jim Cotter was all smiles on Sunday after winning the 2012 Canadian Direct Insurance BC Men’s Curling Championship in Parksville on

Vancouver Island. After a back and forth final game against Brent Pierce, Cotter was left watching as Pierce attempted an angle-raise takeout of Cotter’s loan stone for the victory. The sweepers were called on it early, but it

wasn’t enough to hold the line and Pierce’s stone over-curled leaving Cotter with the steal and a 7-5 win. Cotter said it was a fitting final. “The two best teams in B.C. were playing in the final and I knew that it would be a great

game,’’ Cotter told the Victoria Times Colonist. “In the last few ends, we knew that we had to make our shots or go home. “Our team is very resilient as we always seem to have to do it the hard way,” he said.

“We also have a great coach with Rick Folk, who is a very calming influence. Any time you go back to the Brier it is exciting.’’ Cotter’s rink is made up of Kevin Folk, Tyrel Griffith, Rick Sawatsky. They now advance to the

sung heroes of many a star athlete. Six coaches ranging in age from 15 to 18 years old will be part of the program at the 2012 BC Winter Games. “The BC Games is an ideal way of furthering (development of) our young athletes into future coaches,” says Fernando Correia, the Duncanbased provincial advisor for Karate BC. “I am excited about our new program and I know that our junior coaches are looking forward to attending the BC Winter Games and having the opportunity to develop new skills under the tutelage of some of Karate BC’s best coaches,” Correia said. Another successful mentorship program developed by the BC Games Society, Coaches BC and Promotion Plus, supports the education of female coaches. For Laura Watson, technical director with Coaches BC and ringette coach, this has been a terrific opportunity for both her and her apprentice coach. “As I started out in coaching I wish that I had had an opportunity to study from a seasoned coach. It would have provided me with the opportunity to see how an effective coach really operates,” she says. “The BC Games experience that we have

But, almost without fail, athletes will credit their coach for their success ahead of anyone else. Coaches lead and inspire athletes from community programs to the Olympic and Paralympic podiums. At the BC Games, coach education and training is a priority with all coaches at the Games requiring certification from the National Coaching Certification Program. Coaches BC is the provincial organization responsible for coaching education programs and the ongoing support and development of coaches. “A coach’s preparation for the BC Games, or any other competitive environment, is just as important as an athlete’s preparation,” says Coaches BC executive director Gord May. “Every successful athlete has been trained by someone who has taken the time to learn about the technical aspects of their sport and how to prepare their athletes both mentally and physically. Excellence will come about when you have the right tools and use them the right way,” May said. The Provincial Sport Organizations involved in the BC Winter and BC Summer Games have demonstrated that they are committed to coach development throughout the province. Many sports utilize the BC Games as a unique opportunity for coach mentorship and training. Karate BC developed a junior coach mentorship program as part of the BC Winter Games where youth coaches have the opportunity to work with a certified adult coach.

for our apprentice coach is absolutely the best experience that we could ever offer someone.” The dedication and commitment of coaches around the province strengthens the overall sport system and contributes to communities and social development. For many, coaching is a way of life. Gary Ricks, a Level 3 certified coach at Key City Gymnastics in Cranbrook, reflects on the impact of coaching on his life. “Coaching helps you take stock of where you are now in all aspects of your life and how that compares to where you would like to be,” he says. Over his 31-year coaching career, Ricks has been no stranger to the BC Winter Games having attended over 12 times. It will be a family affair this year at the BC Winter Games in Vernon as Ricks coaches the Kootenays Zone 1 team; his wife Michelle is the provincial advisor for gymnastics and his niece Madysen will be a competing athlete. The BC Games is an important step in the life of a coach, just as it is for the life of an athlete. These Games are a major springboard for coaches looking to move on up to the Canada Games and what they learn in this multi-sport environment will prepare them for future opportunities. Some 122 head coaches and 110 assistant coaches will lead 1,148 athletes at the 2012 BC Winter Games, which run Feb. 23 to 26 in Vernon.

Heat volleyball men make CIS playoffs Playing at the highest level of Canadian univerrsity sport, the UBC Okanagan Heat’s men’s volleyball team locked up a first ever berth in the Canada West playoffs on the weekend, sweeping Thompson Rivers University and punching its tickret to the CIS playoffs. Heat head coach Greg Poitras was ecstatic about his team’s playoff berth. “The goal we’ve had all season was to make fplayoffs,” said Poitras. “To be able to come here and play that high level of volleyball against our interior frivals was fantastic for our tguys. The guys just played free. They played loose and they were so confirdent. They were sharp from start to finish.” The Heat came out on

top in matches on Friday night and Saturday night at the UBCO campus, UBCO honoured its senior players and also prolonged their season with the wins. Team captain Preston Tucker (5th year, Vernon) put up 33 assists and eight digs in his last regular season game as a fifth year senior. Fellow senior Spencer Brown said it was a great way to finish the regular season. “It hasn’t really hit me yet but this was a great way to go out (of the regular season), that’s for sure,” Brown said. “It was a great crowd, lots of support, and to finish with a win on our last game at home was pretty awesome. I like where we’re sitting right now; we’ve

got a lot of momentum going and it seems like we’re peaking at the right time.” The Heat honoured three outstanding players on the weekend: Mark Broome (5th year, Kelowna), Spencer Brown (5th year, West Kelowna) and Preston Tucker (5th year, Vernon). “They’ve contributed so much,” reflected Poitras. “That was probably one of the best delivery matches for Preston [Tucker] I’ve seen all year. He’d set the ball and I’d turn to the coach staff and say ‘he just nailed that set’. Mark with his energy and blocking too, just a fantastic effort.” “It was a great end to a very long career,” said graduate Mark Broome.

“It was a big win, to make playoffs, especially for the team and the program in our first year of CIS. The boys played great. Preston and Spencer played amazing as well. I think it’s the whole team effort. We played our game and controlled the ball from start to finish. I think we accomplished what we set out to do at the start of the year.” With the UBC Okanagan win they have qualified for the first round of the Canada West playoffs and will open up their playoff series against No. 2 Manitoba in Winnipeg on Thursday. “They’re going to need their rest,” commented Poitras of the players, looking into next weekend. “We have to get our

heads thinking about the Bisons pretty quick here. It’s a quick turnaround. There’s not much time to do anything, just got to celebrate, relax, and then go and beat the Bisons.” The Heat improve to 8-12 to finish their Canada West regular season

HEAT NOTES…

With completion of the regular season (not withstanding two OUAA matches tomorrow afternoon) Nate Speijer (4th year, Penticton) and Riley McFarland were two of the best attackers in the country. McFarland was 17th at 3.32 kills per set, Speijer 5th in the nation with 3.98 kills per set… Preston Tucker finished 9th in the nation with 9.93 assists per set.

Artistic gymnastics results

The Okanagan Gymnastics Centre’s women’s artistic team competed in Coquitlam earlier this month in one of the first few competitions at the beginning of the competitive season. This competition is a great warm up competition for these athletes who will continue on in the season to compete at BC Winter Games, Westerns, and Nationals. r In the Provincial Level 2 category, Vanessa Bulcock took gold in the Tyro (11-12) age category. Bulcock won the vault and the beam and earned the bronze medal on the uneven bars to earn her the all around gold. t Teammate Braelyn Dillon won gold on the floor exercise in the same category. Ellen Smith competed in the Argo (10 and Under) age category and earned a silver medal in the all around. Smith won

a gold medal on the floor and a silver medal on the vault. Gabriela Beselt won the vault and the uneven bars in this category. Yvonne Wood earned the silver medal on the floor exercise. In the Provincial Level 3 Novice (1314) age category, Brielle Culbert earned silver medals on the uneven bars and on the floor exercise. In the Provincial Level 4 Tyro (1112) category, Jenna Mick finished with a silver in the all around after winning the vault. In the Provincial Level 4 Novice (13-14) category, Hannah Butcher finished with a silver medal in the all around. Butcher won the balance beam and earned a bronze medal on the uneven bars.

SPORTS W KIJHL

Chiefs back home Friday The Kelowna Chiefs close out a stretch of three straight road games tonight, playing a Tuesday night game in Princeton against the Posse. The Chiefs enter the game having split a pair of games away on the road on the weekend, winning on Saturday in Kamloops after a loss in Osoyoos to the first place Coyotes. The weekend result left the Chiefs still in fourth place in the KIJHL

Okanagan division with a 25-20-0-4 record. A win in Princeton tonight can move them one point behind the third place Princeton while the Chiefs are just four points behind Penticton. Friday in Osoyoos the Coyotes scored three in the second period to take a strangle-hold on the game and eventually earn a 6-2 win over Kelowna. Landon Andrusiak and Kyle Clerke had the

only goals. On Saturday in Kamloops the Chiefs allowed the first goal to Kamloops but then scored four straight to win 4-1. Clerke, Dane Rupert, TJ Dumonceaux and Braeden Hikichi did the damage offensively for the Chiefs. The Chiefs play in Princeton at 7 p.m. tonight before hosting Sicamous and Penticton this Friday and Sunday.

With four in the third, Warrior push Vees With its BCHL playoff hopes a fading reality, the Westside Warriors nearly gave themselves a highlight that would have erased a season that has had many trials and tribulations. Trailing 6-1 to Penticton after two periods of play on Saturday night, the Warriors appeared doomed to be Penticton’s 31st consecutive victim. But against the league’s best defensive team, the Warriors scored four straight goals in the final stanza to push the Vees right to the brink. Having closed the gap to 6-5, Westside’s valiant effort was finally thwarted when Penticton forward Joey Benik scored his third goal of the night into an empty net with 37 seconds remaining to clinch a 7-5 Vees triumph. Max French led the Westside attack with a pair of goals, including one shorthanded marker early in the second period and the 5th Westside goal—one which brought his squad to within one

with 2:05 remaining. Shawn Hochhausen, Marcus Basara, and Connor Dempsey also tallied for the Warriors. Dwayne Rodrigue allowed 6 goals on 42 shots in defeat. “We’re disappointed” said Max French after the short bus ride home. The Warriors’ Captain acknowledged some breakdowns from his team in the first two periods, but also felt that his team played a fairly complete game. “Our third period, I thought we played some of the best hockey we’ve played all season. We took it to those guys” French says, adding “that’s the hardest we’ve worked all season. We played as a team.” With the victory, the Vees sweep the 7-game season series over Westside and extend their BCHL-record winningstreak to 31 games. The Warriors next action is Thursday in Trail.

Rockets challenge Blazers The Kelowna Rockets begin a tough week tonight (Tuesday) kicking off a stretch of four games in five nights with a Western Hockey League road game in Seattle. The Rockets are coming off two narrow losses to the Kamloops Blazers on the weekend, dropping a 3-2 decision at home on Saturday after a 5-4 overtime loss Friday night in Kamloops. Saturday’s game saw the Rockets skate stride for stride with the Blazers, the top team in the WHL Western Conference, just falling a goal short in an entertaining game in front of 6,086 fans in Kelowna. “It was a better effort tonight than our past home games and even better than Friday night,” said Rockets forward Shane McColgan. “What we have to do now is build on this. We have four games in five nights. We have to

get our rest and get rejuvenated.” After giving up a 4-1 lead after 20 minutes on Friday only to lose in overtime, the Rockets erased a 2-0 lead the Blazers had built on Saturday, tying the game at 2-2 in the third period before a giveaway resulted in the winning goal by Kamloops. Head coach Ryan Huska the effort was good from his team in the loss. “I liked the way we played tonight, I can’t fault our guys for the effort,” said Huska. “It was a good effort at home and that’s what we want to see.” After tonight’s game in Seattle, the Rockets are back at Prospera Place hosting Edmonton on Wednesday night. Then they host Calgary and Red Deer on Friday and Saturday nights before heading out on a prairie road trip. McColgan says despite

On Friday, February 10 at 3:10 pm, our dear Mother took her last breath at Kelowna General Hospital, at the age of 100 years and five months. We were left with heavy hearts for many who will miss her very much, but with Great Joy for her, as she moves on to a better place. Born in Portknockie Scotland on September 8, 1911, she immigrated to Canada with her family in 1923, settling at Ruthilda Saskatchewan (Near Biggar). She was predeceased by her by her parents Angus and Cameron (Carrie) Fraser, her husbands, Angus Campbell in 1942, and Ernest Orison (E.O.) Wood in 1976., and both of her daughters Julia Bartier, in 1995, and Mary Kidd, in 1996 and one grandson Ronald Kidd, in 2011. She is survived by her sisters, Agnes Rea, in Biggar Saskatchewan, and Peggy Burton in Belcarras Saskatchewan, and by her son, Donald Campbell in Calgary, and twin sons Clinton and Orison Wood in Kelowna. Also surviving are eight grandchildren and many great grandchildren. We would like to thank the caring staff at Kelowna General, who were there for her, especially during her final days as she was failing, and in particular Terry Teite, who stayed with her and held her hand as she passed. She will always be remembered as the lady who was always smiling, she brightened everyone’s lives with her sense of humour and cheerful personality . Funeral Service to be held at St Paul’s United Church, 3131 Lakeshore Rd., on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 2:30 pm. Reverend Richard Chung officiating. A reception will follow in the Church hall. For those who wish, donations would be welcomed in lieu of flowers, to be used to help establish a Jessie Wood Memorial Fund at St Paul’s.

Daria’s owners could not take her when they moved. She knows basic commands, but has several bad habits that need to be corrected through a conﬁdent experienced owner and positive reinforcement training. She has an abundance of energy and needs lots of exercise. She may be prone to separation anxiety, so a slow introduction to alone time will help her adjust. Please let the staff know if you can offer her a good home.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen sweet Valentine Today is Valentine’s Day, so it’s a bit late to offer you any recipes with which to celebrate this red-letter day that require ingredients you’re not likely to have in the cupboard. These are pretty simple ideas that can be made at the last minute. And, they don’t have to be made only for the one day—they’re great to celebrate any occasion. That’s one thing about good chocolate desserts—and I love chocolate; dark chocolate—it’s not an occasion without a bit of good chocolate around, and one good recipe can be adapted for other occasions. For instance, I made the Chocolate Sweet Hearts for Christmas last year, except they became Christmas trees, all decked out with colourful sugar balls. And the chocolate fondue is ideal for your loved one’s birthday, or for a family celebration, whether that’s a graduation, a new job, a housewarming or an anniversary. I’ve found that some favourites have become traditional in our family as a way of celebrating particular occasions, and I get a slap on the wrist if I forget. So, don’t lose those favourite recipes, even if you only make it once a year, or you may not be forgiven easily. That’s one reason I wanted to put some of my favourite recipes into a book to pass on to my children, and my readers, so those scraps of paper with much-loved, smudged recipes on them don’t get lost. You can pick up your copy of Jude’s Kitchen wherever books are sold. Locally, it’s available at Mosaic Books, Chapters, the B.C. Wine Museum, Calona Vineyards, Discover Wines, Quails’ Gate Estate Winery and many other places. It also includes wine tips for many of the recipes from renowned wine writer John Schreiner. JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Dark Chocolate Fondue with Orange Liqueur This recipe originated from the book for my beloved Oster electric fondue pot, but I’ve made a few little changes to it over the years. 9 oz. (250 g) semi-sweet chocolate 1/2 c. (125 ml) heavy cream 2 tbsp. (30 ml) orange brandy or liqueur angel food cake squares plain doughnuts bananas apples papayas melons peaches pears orange sections

whole grapes whole cherries pitted dates whole strawberries Heat chocolate and cream in the fondue pot on high, or on medium-high heat on your stove, stirring occasionally. When well-mixed, and just before serving, add the orange brandy or orange liqueur and stir in to heat. Turn the heat down to low when serving. Serve with dippers such as squares of a solid sort of cake or doughnut or squares of a variety of fruit. Serves 4-6.

Chocolate Sweet Hearts These are crisp and rich and chocolately, perfect for your favourite valentine, but this dough is a little bit difficult to work with. Don't try to roll it out too thin or it will just stick to your board and tear. 1 c. (250 ml) butter 1 1/2 c. (375 ml) flour 1 c. (250 ml) icing sugar 1/3 c. (75 ml) cocoa sugar sprinkles heart-shaped decorations icing Pre-heat oven to 300 F. Soften the butter, then cream it. Whisk flour, sugar and cocoa and gradu-

ally mix into butter to form a soft dough. Chill the dough, in thirds, if it seems too soft to roll out. Roll out a third of the dough on a lightlyfloured board to about 1/8-inch in thickness. Cut out with a heart-shaped cookie cutter and put on an ungreased cookie sheet. (If decorating with coloured sugar sprinkles or candy hearts, you may wish to do so before baking.) Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool a bit before removing from the pan. These can be decorated with piped frosting or with candy hearts or red and white sugar sprinkles, or a combination of all those. Makes about 3 dozen cookies, but that depends on the size of your cookie cutter.

Contact Jude’s Kitchen at The Kelowna Capital News, 2495 Enterprise Way, Kelowna, B.C. , V1X 7K2; jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt

*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh

*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
