KELOWNA ROCKETS play host this weekend to two WHL title contenders, Portland Winterhawks and the Medicine Hat Tigers.

EVEN THE RACE CARS were green at the 2011 North American International Auto Show, as hybrids and batterypowered cars were the dominant theme, small rather than large and fuel ratings over high performance.

THE KELOWNA PUBLIC Art Gallery front hallway has been taken over by UBCO third and fourth-year printmaking students with a collection of their unique works on the gallery walls.

JUDIE STEEVES suggests we quit complaining about the snow, and take the time to have some fun with it.

Sobering centre still on CORD’s wishlist Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

Digging out from surprise snow dump Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Weathermen and women gave no warning the Valley was going to be walloped with snow, but nearly 30 cm later Kelowna residents proved to be resilient. “You were sitting in Arctic air and a storm

from the Pacific came in and it packed a bit more punch than expected,” said Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones. “At 5 a.m. (Wednesday) in Kelowna, there was only two centimetres forecast, and then another two to four overnight, which is quite substantial-

ly different from what you got.” Jokes about forecast unreliability aside, Jones said snow prediction is just difficult. “(It’s) always tricky,” he said. “Rain varies quite a bit too, but when it does it runs away. “With snow, when you start out dry like that, every flake piles up.”

It piled up so high that Kelowna snow removal crews haven’t found peace in a good 48 hours. In that time they have managed to clear nearly 1,600 kilometres of roads, 393 km of sidewalk, 11 km of walkways and 18 km of multi-use corridors. “We started at 2 a.m. on Thursday and we had

30 trucks, two graters cleaning the streets,” said Gord Murrell, the city’s roadways supervisor. “We also had the contractors for the Queensway transit loop and the Parkinson overpass, and five others cleaning parking lots.” See Surprise A3

A sobering centre may yet come to the Okanagan if the trend in other B.C. communities gains momentum. As CORD social development coordinator Christene Walsh works through an expansion of her former role as drug policy coordinator, she pointed out work still remains to be done in the area of drug policy. Walsh addressed the regional district board on Jan. 13. Out of 28 initiatives, the only area where she felt the regional district had failed was the bid for a sobering centre. Walsh remains optimistic, pointing to the facilities being talked about in other communities. She noted the Fraser Valley Health Authority was directed by the B.C. Ministry of Health to proceed on such a centre. “If the city of Surrey can be given direction to make theirs happen, maybe there’s hope for us.” Already existing in Victoria, the sobering and assessment centre is a 20-bed facility that offers shelter and assessment of inebriated clients for less than 24 hours. “Let’s see what happens, because we’ve been advocating for years and we’ve been alone.” She added that the community often wants to blame government and service providers for conditions with individuals. Walsh said she still believes in prevention, but pointed out the regional district needs to look at programs that support individual accountability. “Yes, we need our safety net, but the baseline person in charge here is the individual.” Director Sharon Shepherd noted that she had visited one of the centres in Portland, Oregon and hoped that as the Okanagan looks forward to putting one in our area, that it would be a little bit different than the one she saw. She added that the infrastructure funding is relatively easy to obtain, but ongoing operating funding is not as easy to come by. See Centre A7

Weather will warm up Surprise from A1 Now the weather is expected to warm up in the days ahead, and that’s bound to bring new challenges to city crews. “We’re into clean-up mode now, so we’re touching up areas that may have iced up again, and ploughing off areas that started to melt,” he said. “We’re looking at cleaning up catch basins and things like that, so if the melt comes fast (it can drain).” The good news so far is that this is the worst dump of the year, so snow crews are well within their budget when it comes to clearing the white stuff out of the way. “It’s early in the year, but for this winter we are in good shape,” said Murrell. Despite warnings that this was to be an unfortunately cold year, due to the La Nina weather system, conditions have remained remarkably warm through the winter, said Jones. “Storms come and go, and typically during La Nina it will be colder than average, but that doesn’t mean we will have constantly cold weather,” he said, adding the full force of La Nina isn’t generally felt until January, anyway. And so far, it’s impact has been missing entirely. In Kelowna the normal mean temperature for December is -3 C, but this winter it was -2 C. In Kelowna the average January temperature is -5 C, and so far for the year we’ve seen -4 C. Expectation for the days ahead is that temperatures will continue to rise into the pluses, even overnight. Then it will cool off again, but Jones said there’s “nothing that looks super threatening” in the queue.

THE SCULPTURE in downtown Kelowna on the corner of St. Paul and Bernard takes on a different look thanks to the dump of snow that hit the Central Okanagan this week.

Under the terms of the deal announced this week, the Hudson Bay Company, owner of the Zellers chain, reached an agreement with Target Corporation worth $1.825 billion for the sale of up to 220 leasehold interests that are currently operated as Zellers stores. As part of the transaction, Zellers Inc. will sublease the properties back from Target Corporation upon closing and continue to operate them as Zellers stores for a period of time. Target expects to open 100 to 150 Target stores throughout Canada in 2013 and 2014. Additionally, it is anticipated that a select number of Zellers locations will be assigned to other retail enterprises. Zellers Inc. will continue to operate a portfolio of certain Zellers stores in specific communities across the country. According to Richard Baker, governor or the Hudson’s Bay Company, “This transaction provides

attractive long term value and will allow us to invest substantial capital into our department store and specialty store businesses to continue to drive growth.� Baker claimed the sale of these leasehold interests is estimated to create over 20,000 net new jobs in Canada and has the potential to generate over $1.5 billion in Canadian economic activity through the renovation of the Zellers locations. “This transaction provides an outstanding opportunity for us to extend our Target brand, Target stores and superior shopping experience beyond the United States for the first time in our company’s history,� said Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Target Corporation. “We are very excited to bring our broad assortment of unique, high-quality merchandise at exceptional values and our convenient shopping environment to Canadian guests coast-to-coast.�

School changes unveiled

Saying no to change Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The message the Central Okanagan School District superintendent took from this week’s meetings on Kelowna Secondary School’s potential timetable change: Don’t change. Hugh Gloster said the 500-person meeting held Tuesday evening left him with the impression the majority of parents, and students, would prefer life at the school to remain on a linear timetable; although it will be some time before those affected know if the dis-

trict will heed the request. “The intent then is the admin council group will go away now and consider all of the input we have received,� he said. Gloster pointed out the meeting was fruitful, beyond simply allowing those disgruntled by the possible change to air their issues, as several people offered compromise positions. One student purportedly suggested a hybrid schedule used in Kamloops could be adopted. Gloster said it also gave him a chance to tell parents about a shuttle ser-

There will be a new French immersion program starting at Dorothea Walker Elementary School and the primary building of Anne McClymont Elementary will soon re-open as the school district tries to respond to program and demographic demands. On Wednesday evening, the board of education put the final touches on a new direction for the uber-popular French immersion system and deal with overflow issues in the Mission. “It’s been about two-and-a-half, three months worth of work and we’re very appreciative of all the input the parents have put in,� said Rolli Cacchioni, board chairman. For now, two portables added to Chute Lake Elementary school and the addition of the Anne McClymont building should deal with Mission overcrowding, while the new French program should ease pressure on Casorso Elementary, a dual track French and English school bursting at the seems. Discussion largely centred on how families with multiple children will cope with the changes, to which district staff assured trustees the utmost attention would be given to keeping families together in one school.

The school district completed nearly 10 hours of consultation on the issue of whether KSS should move to a semester system next September and the parents at KSS opted not to have the district hold a second consultation session later this month, Gloster said. Tuesday evening’s parent meetings were closed to media.

â–ź DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE

Okanagan needs to attract younger workers Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

Bringing young professionals and families to the Central Okanagan is seen as imperative to the area’s economic development. Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission manager Robert Fine said one of the strategic imperatives for the group this year involves drawing young families and professionals to the area. He noted the region is facing a prospective “demographic winter,� with no fresh influxes of young workers to support the aging population. Fine noted Kelowna is the oldest census area in Canada, with zero net population gain. He added a recent three per cent population increase is due completely to inbound migration. “The challenge as we continue to age, is how do we manage to meet our needs without having a younger population here?�

He noted the Okanagan faces competition in trying to foster a regional culture that makes the area attractive to talented and creative people. “We’re competing with a lot of places in the world.� In doing this, the commission hopes to trade on the quality of living in the area and the Okanagan lifestyle. Fine said a younger generation is also of concern in the continuation of the area’s agricultural industry. He pointed out the average farmer in the Okanagan is 58 years old. In response to questions about the younger population drawn to the area by Okanagan College and UBC Okanagan, Fine noted the 2006 census did see a jump in the numbers of 18 to 24 yearolds residing locally. He agreed the educational institutions are certainly having an impact in bringing young people here initially. “The challenge for us is to keep those folks here.�

Fine said success in this partially involves working with international students, trying to make sure they don’t just come here for an education and leaving afterward. Fine said organizations cannot stop the

And it hasn’t hurt that the team has been consistently successful. In addition to 2004, the Rockets have won the WHL title three times in the last six seasons and represented the league in the Memorial Cup tournament. The last appearance,

While it’s not uncommon for clicktivists to come out in large numbers, this event may actually spur further action as there are calls for a Sunday rally at noon by Kelowna’s Sails, although confirmation of such an event wasn’t possible by deadline. “Rally against police brutality and self policing…come on people get

The expectations for the team are high every year, both from within and outside the organization, he said. “We are pushed no matter the year.

With virtually every regular season game a sellout since 2004, the Rockets have become an economic generator for Kelowna worth an estimated $31.5 million per year. According to a recent economic impact study prepared by the University

The New Year’s tournament that has become so popular with Canadian hockey fans over the years, riveted our attention this year only to see the Canadian team lose a 3-0 lead in the third period of the final and lose 4-3 to the Russians. “Everything seemed to go wrong at the same time,” he said. Despite the loss, Huska said the experience was “fantastic” and one he would jump at if offered another opportunity. “I told (Hockey Canada), I would go back as a trainer next year if asked,” said Huska. “If I can do it in Calgary and Edmonton (site of next year’s championship), I would give my left arm to do it again.” He said the experience for both the players and coaches is unlike anything in the WHL or the Canadian Hockey League. The pressure, media scrutiny and what you learn from it, all on the world stage, and the fact you are representing your country, made it a most memorable experience. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

of B.C. Okanagan, in dollar terms the team means much more to the city than simply icing a winning team each winter. The report found the direct economic impact of the team is close to $4 million per season and the indirect impact of regular season activities alone is nearly $15 million. Throw in the roughly $5 million impact of preand post-season play, as well as special event activity and the annualized $7 million long-term impact of having 23 former Rockets (either current or former NHL players) now living here and its clear hockey here is more than just a game. A similar economic impact study conducted on the Saskatoon Blades WHL team showed that team generated a total of $10 million for Saskatoon. But while the business of his sport may have been the calling card at the chamber lunch, several in the audience were eager to hear Huska’s inside take on Canada’s recent showing at the World Junior Hockey Championships in Buffalo.

looking to speak with transit bus riders who may be witnesses to the police take-down and arrest of Tavares. The take-down stemmed from a weapons complaint at the Harvest Golf Club at around 10:13 a.m. on Jan. 7. The No. 1 Lakeshore City Transit bus was sitting near the westbound bus stop at the corner of KLO and Pandosy and because of the positioning of police vehicles, it was unable to move until after the arrest had taken place. Police believe several riders were on the bus at that time and were looking out the windows to see what was happening. It is these people that Abbotsford Police detectives wish to speak with. To contact the Abbotsford detectives, call 1-800-898-6111 and ask for Const. Ian McDonald, who will have a detective speak with you.

Sobering facility labelled as a priority by Kelowna RCMP Centre from A1 Shepherd said the Kelowna RCMP had identified the construction of a sobering centre as one of their first priorities. “When they go to make a decision on an individual, it’s either the hospital or the cells, and neither are appropriate.� Director Bryden Winsby, filling in for Duane Ophus, noted the issue seems to be asking local government to pick up the slack for things that should have been done by federal and provincial governments.

He said there does not seem to be a lot of interest from the Interior Health Authority in pursuing this type of project. Walsh noted the Vancouver Island Health Authority will pay for sobering centres requested by both Port Alberni and Tofino. Director Doug Findlater pointed out that a sobering centre is supported by RCMP on the Westside as well. He was concerned about some of the cost issues, especially the transit time involved to move people to such a centre. Findlater said West Kelowna RCMP felt only a certain type of person picked up would be taken

Kelowna actor hopes web series will be her ticket to the big time Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

She graduated from the Heritage Christian School, and carried the Capital News until she landed a role with Kelowna Actor’s Studio. And now she’s on TV—OK, the web. Whether Naomi Dayneswood has hit the big time or not is probably up for debate at this point, but one way or another there’s no denying she’s writing every episode of her own success story.

“I don’t know what it is. I don’t know whether I still have that smile-ateveryone, talk-to-everyone feel, but people kind of talk to me and everyone has always said you should have a blog or you should have a book,” said Dayneswood. Instead, owing to the era of Justin Bieber plot lines, Dayneswood decided a hit web series might be her ticket to the big time. The resulting naomitheshow.com now has 10 online episodes (with a second season on

the way) of Dayneswood’s calamity of true-story encounters at a Kitsilano-area bus stop. Nothing is sacred in these small-town girl meets ugly big city tales, which find her lamenting her buxom figure one moment and fending off the unwanted advances of a racist would-be motherin-law the next. And, of course, there’s an entire episode dedicated to language barriers and Vancouver rain. “I think my favourite episode is one or two,”

she said.” Because that’s pretty well word for word what happened.” In episode two, she is propositioned by a drunk at the bus stop bench who offers to take her home, get her drunk and sleep with her for $10; it takes her the minute of the story to realize he wants her to pay. Episode one…well, lets just say Dayneswood has an eye for shooting a creepy tale. Dayneswood has come a fair way from her days as Cecilia the Spider on the Heritage Chris-

CMHC stats for past year reflect downturn in real estate market Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

It was another dreary year for anyone involved in the housing industry, but if 2010’s construction figures offers any insight, the future is looking brighter. Kelowna area housing starts increased to 957 homes in 2010 from 657 homes the previous year, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Both detached home and multi-family starts were up from 2009 levels, while housing starts totalled 40 homes in December. “Detached housing was the focus of new home construction last year,� said Paul Fabri, CMHC market analyst. “Lower lot prices and lower construction costs enabled builders to compete more effectively with the existing home market and attract more new home buyers in 2010.� Favourable mortgage interest rates were also a key factor contributing to increased detached home starts. While detached homes saw an uptick, the condo market, as has been the case for the last couple of years, was non-existent in construction starts while rental buildings came back to the limelight after a long hiatus. Fabri’s been singing the same song all year long, but he said that 2011 may bring with it a different tune. One that sees a slight return of the condo market. “We did see condo starts drop significantly in 2009, then in 2010 there weren’t any and now I am anticipating two to three new buildings in 2011,� he said, adding most developers are looking into townhouse or duplex building, as it comes with less risk and it’s what’s caught buyer attention. “In 2011, we will see modest gains, starts of detached units will move up in a modest way from what we have seen, multi family starts will be similar, but there will be a change in the mix,� he said. “Townhomes and semi detached properties will increase while there will be fewer rental construction and more condos.� While there has been some growth in the new home market, resales are stagnant and the Central Zone of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reported December

2010 sales activity was down month over month and year over year.

Overall sales declined 34.5 per cent, 169 from 258, compared to last De-

cember and total residential units sold decreased by 36.8 per cent, to 146

from 231. Year to date total sales volume for all property

types dipped by only 7.36 per cent at the end of 2010 compared to 2009, the re-

sult of $1.493 billion in real estate sales, compared to 2009’s $1.562 billion.

Worthy initiatives to embrace

T

he promises and proposals are coming fast and thick as the Liberal leadership hopefuls vie for support. Much of what’s been heard from the five contenders has been jockeying for internal party position, and probing for what might register on the public opinion meter. Does it make a difference in the long term whether the referendum on the HST is held next fall or earlier, as Moira Stilwell

suggests? Are people all that interested in George Abbott’s proposed vote on the carbon tax, or whether Christy Clark would hold town hall meetings if she were premier? We’d answer “not really” for all the above. Not so with Abbotsford MLA Mike de Jong’s promises last week, which top those of his contenders in terms of initiating government reform. De Jong said he would reduce the size of the cabinet and con-

MAIN SWITCHBOARD

solidate the number of ministries from 24 to less than 20, reduce the number of parliamentary secretaries, and cut the premier’s office budget by 10 per cent. Dead on target. Two dozen ministries are not required to run this province, particularly in the light of a $1.7billion budget deficit this year. The actual savings from those measures may be small in comparison to the overall budget, but the message is the right one. Instead of promising to spend

more, this candidate is suggesting practical restraint measures. Ditto with de Jong’s commitment to more accountability from MLAs, who he says should file their expenses every six months, online for all to see, with cabinet ministers providing a similar list of the organizations and individuals they met with. All of these initiatives are long overdue, and should be part of every leadership contender’s platform.

Tanning bed warnings should include celeb’s pruney mugs

V

ictoria politicians enacted a bylaw Wednesday that could seep across the ocean and into the Interior, to eat away at the very fabric of this community. If Kelowna counterparts drink their Kool-Aid, no longer will the sweet scent of coconut linger in the air, heralding three-months-before summer. It could even threaten the one source of light in the dank, dark days of winter. That’s right Okanaganites. Our right to emit an artificial glow year round is at risk now that Victoria has extended their health conscious thinking beyond their granola stash. They’re legislating what should

and shouldn’t be toasted, and it seems teenagers are hands-off. In case you haven’t heard, minors in Victoria will be barred from using tanning beds in salons across the city. In the first bylaw of its kind anywhere in Canada, it’s now impossible for anyone under the age of 18 to use a tanning bed unless they have a medical reason to do so. Even those who appear to be under 25 must present proof of age. Anyone caught violating the bylaw will be fined anywhere from $250 to $2,000.

It may work in an

KATHARTIC area where being green

is vogue, but in the land of the orange-skinned, it’s absurd. What next? Are they coming after our perKathy oxide stashes, the botox Michaels batch or black eyeliner? Without the ability to bronze, our young women will appear to be in a weakened state. Peroxide enhanced whiteblonde hair combined with the pale skin this valley’s cloud cover naturally provides, will turn our brown hills into the stomping ground of albino lookalikes, not beach babes. That raises questions about what

our tourism organizations would use to promote our unique appeal? How will we position ourselves in this super natural province? What’s most striking about this bylaw, however, is that it’s even necessary. Have we become such a vain culture that teenagers are putting their health at risk for the sake of a bit of colour? Or have parents become so weakminded and impotent that they can’t identify a risk, and stop their children from entering into it. Of course this applies to a whole raft of issues, but fake ‘n’ baking is a good place to start. After all, it’s not easy to hide and those sporting its telltale glow aren’t even trying. A-

hem—Jersey Shore ring a bell? It’s a sad reflection of our society when vanity has to be dealt with through bylaws. But now that they’ve done it, I say why not ramp it up a notch? Perhaps tanning beds should all be slapped with warning labels like cigarette packages. In this case, don’t put a picture of a lung cancer sufferer out front. Google up a picture of George Hamilton or Donatella Versace. Their pruney mugs should be just the trick to keep vanity at bay.

▼ RCMP DISCIPLINE

North of Yellowknife for steel-toed cop To the editor: Subject: Cop Suspended for Use of Excessive Force in Arrest, Jan. 9 Capital News. Again another cop will get paid; I repeat paid, leave for way too much police (it’s OK because they can do it without any punishment) force. With the “outside” officer checking on this incident and recommending better future actions to handle this kind of situation from happening again, it appears to me that the horse-

man’s blue shield has avoided another black eye and will cover the details up. (Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon is quoted as saying:) “There’s other aspects of that investigations that I’m not going to get into that would have brought him there.” Police in this country are above the law. They police themselves. The amount of bullying, brutality and sometimes murder (I think they killed the Polish guy at the Vancouver airport and nobody has ever been held account-

“Bring a Friend”

able) is OK. So the officer in question here will likely be transferred. This to avoid media questions. I only hope they ship him north of Yellowknife. Maybe then it might be a sort of punishment. Even hockey players get a fine for kicking someone in the head.

La Leche helping mothers for 50+ years To the editor: While I understand that the focus of the Got Milk? article in Sunday Jan. 9’s Capital News was sharing of human milk, it was still a frustrating read for me. I have been supporting mothers in meeting their breastfeeding goals for over 15 years, and I hear similar stories again and again from

women who are struggling to overcome unnecessary interventions in breastfeeding, often a result of outdated hospital policies and uninformed advice from health care providers. For over 50 years, La Leche League Canada (www.lllc.ca) has been offering accurate information to women who wish to breastfeed their babies. All LLL services are free, and in-

clude telephone assistance from knowledgeable LLL leaders and informal monthly meetings, at which mothers (and their babies) have a chance to connect and learn from each other. LLLC-Kelowna can be reached at 250860-0575. Ingrid Tilstra, Kelowna

Senators don’t shy from incurring expenses To the editor: We should all learn by example regarding past promises not to trust most all politicians and I quote: “Harper ‘plans’ to elect Senate” (Appearing in a daily newspaper, Dec. 14, 2006). Like everything else it’s taking him a long time to plan. It’s not even interesting news anymore nor is it surprising but ludicrous that Harper has again appointed two more Sen-

ators to the house of clowns thus giving the Conservatives 54 seats in the 105-seat Senate. One of the new appointees, Larry Smith, recently complained this new difficult position to be a considerable reduction in his wages and desires to campaign in the next federal election. Why did he accept the honour to become a Senator in the first place? As disclosed on the

Internet each Senator receives $154,200. Yearly office and hospitality budget—$20,000. While in Ottawa, their travel budget is worth 64 roundtrips for themselves, family members or members of their staff. Senators spent $156,132 from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30, 2010 for the quarter (which equates to over $20.6 million yearly). The top spenders for

the quarter were Conservative Senator and former Newfoundland and Labrador auditor general Elizabeth Marshall. Marshall, who was appointed by Prime Minister Harper, spent $84,788; though a large part of her expenses were due to the $50,739 she spent flying to and from her home province for Senate sittings in Ottawa. Conservative Senator Daniel Lang, an-

other Harper appointee, was runner up spending $78,447, of which $36.008 was spent flying back to the Yukon each week. And spending continues with little or no restraint, as we are compelled to keep on contributing to this uncontrollable system. Wonder why our deficit keeps increasing?

Letters help explain complicated issues To the editor: I just wanted to complement you on your choice of letters you publish in the Letters to the Editor section.

‘No senior is denied care:’ Minister of Health To the editor: Since residential care was introduced in British Columbia, it has operated as a partnership between the Province and clients— the Province pays all of the expenses related to clients’ care, while the client and Province share the cost of their room and board. Last year, the Ministry of Health Services replaced the complicated fee structure with a much fairer system, with the client’s share determined by their after-tax income. Under this new system, clients are left with a guaranteed minimum of $275 for personal expenses—the highest retained income in

Canada. And for any seniors concerned about their ability to pay, case managers are available in each health authority to work one-on-one with clients. Together, they will review the situation to meet their unique circumstances, such as when a client lives in care while their spouse is living at home. No senior is denied care based on income. Under the old system, which relied on a complicated system of income brackets, taxpayers were often paying to subsidize the living expenses of clients with the ability to pay their own way. By ensuring that clients are charged based on

ability to pay, we can ensure that taxpayer dollars are directed to those who need it most. That’s how we were able to reduce costs for more than 25 per cent of residents. We are also reinvesting every dollar raised through the new rates, meaning almost $40 million of new investments in residential care this year. We understand that for many British Columbians the new rate structure will mean increased personal costs, but with a growing and aging population and ever-increasing demands on our health care system, we need to know that the money is being invested where it’s

really needed. Colin Hansen, Minister of

Health Services, Victoria

NEWS ▼ POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION

Computer technology is creating jobs Y ears ago when I was in college, a lot of students were entering computer science or applied computer systems programs at both universities and community colleges. This career choice was driven by the advent of the personal computer. Typewriters were being replaced with word processors; software was created to deal with most business practices such as accounting, inventory control and publishing; networks were being assembled—it was just a matter of time before every household had a least one computer with Internet access. There were massive waitlists to get into these programs. Only the best and the brightest were able to secure that coveted diploma or degree in computing. Today, it’s a different story. Although Okanagan College has seen

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens more students enroll in our Computer Information Systems diploma and degree program, we don’t get the same number of students we had in the past. Why is this? There is no simple answer to this question. Many would say that the demand for these workers shifted once the industry settled down in 2001 from the dot com frenzy. With the advent of the Internet, many companies entered the industry with great short-term results, but not enough money or expertise to ride it out for the long haul. It was just a matter of time before the winners

would emerge and many companies would go belly up and have to lay off employees. Similar technology booms of the past included the advent of the railroad, the automobile, and transistor electronics to name a few. Today, a handful of companies are involved in these sectors. What seems to be forgotten here is that computer technology is everywhere now. Computer technology is in our TVs, microwaves, our cars and our banking—not to mention the impact it has on our jobs. This alone fuels tremendous job growth in this area and it is what separates this technology boom from that resulting from development of the continent’s railroads, for example. For most Canadians, outside of moving goods from coast to coast, the railroad has little impact

on our daily lives as computer technology has and will continue to do so. Google by far is one of the most successful companies to emerge since the bubble burst. And now all the new words for 2011 are computer-based, words such as apps, tablets and pads to name a few. According to a recent list of the best jobs in the U.S., computer software engineers ranked as number one, based on this job’s work environment, stress level, physical demands and job security. Computer analysts came in at number five out of a list of 200 jobs. For the B.C. economy from now until 2019, 18,620 jobs in the field of computer information professionals are expected to open up based on job growth and replacement. This growth rate is high enough to be worried about shortages, if fewer students enter computing

programs now than when I was attending college. From what I know about teenagers and young adults today, many spend a lot of time using their smartphones or sitting in front of a computer. So if teenagers and young adults enjoy technology so much, how come we can’t get these kids to consider careers in computing? Maybe if they knew more about the job opportunities available and the fact that they can complete both a degree and diploma in Computer Systems in Kelowna without having to leave, they might contemplate a future in the field. Computer technology permeates our everyday living, from how we work to how we play. Is there better job security than that? Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

Son’s heart surgery inspires father to enter new career When Darrell Hopegood’s 18-week-old son underwent heart surgery, it was an experience he would never forget. The images lingered long after the recovery, but it was the significant role of the nurse involved that really shaped Hopegood’s

future in a way he could never have expected. “He was a male nurse and he did a fantastic job—I was just amazed at what he did,” recalls Hopegood, who will be among 115 practical nurses graduating this Saturday at Okanagan Col-

lege’s Winter Convocation ceremonies. Returning to school was quite a change for a 42-year-old man who has managed to keep up his trade as a finisher in the construction industry. “It was last year when I decided this would be a

good thing to do—a bit of a career change and add some skills.” Hopegood upgraded his Grade 11 and 12, and with good grades was accepted into the program. Now it’s time to find work. “I’d love to work in the

O/R room, but I’ll need a few more courses to do that.” Okanagan College is hosting two separate ceremonies for its Winter Convocation to confer credentials on 429 students graduating from more than 30 fields of study.

▼ SCOTIABANK STUDY

Financial necessity expected to demand retirees keep working Of those Canadians from B.C. who plan to retire, two-thirds plan to work during retirement, primarily to remain mentally (73 per cent) and socially (59 per cent) active, according to a recent Scotiabank study conducted by Harris/Decima assessing Canadians’ attitudes toward retirement and investing. However, more than one-third of B.C. residents (38 per cent) expect to work after they officially retire out of financial necessity, in line with the national average. “It is great to see that so many people in B.C. plan to stay mentally and socially active in their retirement years,” said Purdy McDonald, a Vancouver Island district Scotiabank vice-president. “There are, however, some British Columbians who will work in retirement out of financial necessity, but, with proper planning, this does not necessarily have to be the case.” The study found that one-third of British Columbians (33 per cent)

think they will need between $1 million and $2 million to fund their ideal retirement. B.C. residents are significantly less likely than the rest of Canada to think that less than $1 million is sufficient to fund their retirement (45 per cent vs. 58 per cent). “It is not surprising to see that B.C. residents expect to need more to retire, as the cost of living in B.C. tends to be higher than other parts of Canada,” said McDonald. “When planning for retirement, no matter where you are, it’s important to focus on what you’re planning to do in your golden years and determine how much you will need to live that lifestyle.” Like the rest of Canadians, when it comes to how they plan to spend their retirement, the majority of B.C. residents plan to travel (87 per cent), spend time with family and friends (69 per cent), read (63 per cent) and exercise (63 per cent). Other retirement plans include taking up a hobby (54 per cent) and going back to

school (26 per cent). As for saving for retirement, 84 per cent of B.C residents who expect to retire are currently putting money away for their future and they have been doing so for an average of 14 years. Nearly half of Canadians from B.C. (46 per cent) who plan to retire report saving less than $20,000 over the past five years. “We all know that it’s important to invest for our future, but with so many demands on our time and money it can be easy to put off saving for a goal that often seems far away,” said McDonald. The majority of B.C. residents (86 per cent) reported that their retirement will be funded by their RRSP contributions, significantly more than the rest of Canada at 77 per cent. Money for their retirement will also come from savings (71 per cent), the government (67 per cent), work pension (53 per cent), and inheritance (36 per cent).

Study: Vitamins fight breast cancer

I

f you or someone you know has been diagnosed with breast cancer, the following column might be of interest to you. A recent article published last month in the Journal, Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, sheds some light on the benefits of vitamin supplementation in breast cancer. This study provides evidence that the use of vitamins during the first six months after a diagnosis of breast cancer appears to have beneficial results especially in patients who underwent chemotherapy. In this study, the use of vitamin C and vitamin E reduce the risks of mortality and recurrence of breast cancer. The patients who received antioxidant therapy in the form of vitamin D, C and multivitamins had 18 per cent reduced mortality risk and a reduction in the recurrence of breast cancer by 22 per cent.

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel However, the benefits were only seen in those patients who did not receive radiotherapy. The dosages were estimated to be 400 mg per day of vitamin C, and 400 mg a day of vitamin E. Dr. Shu, the chief investigator of the study stated “…there is also evidence that antioxidant supplements may help protect normal cells from oxidative damage that occurs during cancer treatment, and thereby reduce the short and long-term harmful effects of cancer treatment.” The controversy to this article is surrounded by the fear that the protective properties of these supplements may, in fact, be protecting the cancer cells itself.

Dr. Hardy, medical director at the Los Angeles Center for Integrative Oncology, stated regarding this paper: “There are theoretical concerns with antioxidants that they can be harmful, this paper says that they are beneficial. “But even if you read this paper conservatively it doesn’t appear that antioxidants interfere with outcomes. “But the most important aspect of this paper is that it begins to suggest… what a lot of us in integrative oncology have been saying… that the monolithic absolute rejection of all antioxidants is probably not going to be supported by the literature.” Dr. Shu further states: “The results from an observatory study are not adequate to change the guidelines of vitamin use during cancer therapy. “However, our study calls for more studies on this particular question.” This study had a sample group of 4,877 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and

was conducted between March 2002 and March 2006. There was a four year follow-up. The most noteworthy finding of the study was that women who use vitamin C for more than three months had a 44 per cent decrease in risk for mortality and 38 per cent decrease in risk for disease recurrence. I feel this paper is a clear demonstration of the need for an integrated approach to cancer therapy. Under the guidance of a health practitioner, one should invest in all avenues of therapy when diagnosed with cancer assuming an evidencebased and peer-reviewed justification is evident. I’ve yet to meet one person who has all the answers to many questions that disease presents.

I held three different portfolios in 2010, starting as Minister of Citizens’ Services, becoming Minister of Community and Rural Development in June, and being named Minister of Agriculture on Oct. 25. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities to learn more about our province that these experiences afforded me. For Kelowna, the past year saw a lot of good news, but also some very sad news. Sindi Hawkins, a close friend and a great MLA, passed away in September after a long battle with leukemia.

Ben Stewart I know there are many who deeply miss her and are grateful for her hard work on behalf of our area and British Columbia. Amongst her many accomplishments, perhaps it is her commitment to high-quality health care that stands out the most. That’s why I was so touched when the B.C. Southern Interior Cancer Centre was renamed the Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Cancer Centre. It’s a great tribute to a great woman, and I’m proud to say

a new state-of-the-art radiation therapy treatment unit we opened there last year will greatly improve cancer care and treatment for the southern Interior. Funding approval for the estimated $448-million Interior Heart and Surgical Centre was also announced in 2010, which will allow local residents to have cardiac procedures performed right here in Kelowna for the first time ever. We’re also working hard to improve service at the Kelowna General Emergency Department. The stresses that come with high population growth and an aging population mean that improvement is needed— and it is underway. It is not an issue that will be resolved overnight, but the projected $629,000 for Kelowna General Hospital in new patient-focused funding

announced for the ER is a big step in the right direction. This patient-focused funding will be a great help for the hospital in easing emergency department congestion and reducing patient wait times. After the Glenrosa fires, the community’s top priority was fire mitigation. Governments at all levels listened and in June, $249,000 of federal and provincial funding was announced for fire mitigation work. I’m very proud of this initiative which will employ 10 workers to thin trees, prune and remove infested trees and get rid of heavy loads of pine needles and other fire fuels in Kelowna and West Kelowna. In addition, trail upgrades will allow crews access to facilitate this work. These measures are important, but we must remember that fire mitigation is everyone’s responsibility. With that in mind, I encourage you to visit www.firesafebc.ca to learn what you can do to

prevent fires. In the area of public transportation, the new RapidBus service which started operation in September, now connects downtown with UBCO. It is another way to ease congestion and an important cornerstone in the process of redeveloping downtown. The next phase of RapidBus—made possible through $43 million in funding from the federal and provincial governments, as well as the local municipalities of Kelowna and West Kelowna— will see service extended to West Kelowna. It’s an exciting time to live in the Kelowna area. We are growing very quickly and have a bright future. Certainly there are challenges, but the positive developments of last year—along with much hard work in the coming year and beyond— mean that we will be able to meet these challenges and make our region better than ever. Ben Stewart is the Liberal MLA for WestsideKelowna.

Willie will be traveling to Perth, Aust., to carry out an interventional study with a group of more than 100 healthy elderly people with and without dementia. “The overall aim of this project is to examine the specific effects of a three-month exercise program on the regulation of brain blood flow in a healthy, older adult population with and without dementia,� said Willie, whose research interests focus on understanding the physiological mechanisms responsible for the regulation of brain blood flow, and how these mechanisms are altered with exercise, aging and disease. Willie notes the research collaboration brings together two of the world’s most productive teams working on the clinical implications of vascular responses to exercise in humans, led by human kinetics professor Philip Ainslie at the UBCO campus and professor Danny Green at the University of Western Australia. “This is the first study to assess such mechanistic changes, and the first to evaluate potential training programs in the context of whole brain health— as such, it represents a forward-thinking approach to basic human science that is readily applicable to the clinical setting worldwide,� Willie said.

The tension between judgment and unconditional love “

There is a word more violent than any other,” a Budtdhist teacher says. “That word is ‘ought’—you ought to be different than you are.” Most visible forms of violence grow out of this one: “You should be different—your existence, your beliefs, your lifestyle are not OK.” The recent shooting in the U.S. was a tragic case kin point. In the twisted mind of a young man, a politician twas not doing what she t“ought” to do. His country and his life were not as they “ought” to be. So he set out to erase

SOUL SEARCHING

Linda Horton her existence, and his hatred spilled over to killing a number of bystanders. Amid sorrow and shock, there is soulsearching about the culture of critique that has created a climate where unstable people are more likely to feel justified acting out. When people resort to violence against those who represent what they

believe “ought” not to be, we are saddened and shocked. But when our own inner critical voice runs its tapes about how people around us ought to be different than they are, most of us are so used to it we don’t think twice. We even perpetrate this violence upon ourselves: “Why can I not do what I ought? Why can’t I lose weight? Always be kind? I should be different. My spouse should be different. My parents should have been different.” We hear that agony in the Christian tradition in the voice of St. Paul wondering why, despite his

will to be good, he does what he “ought not.” Our human tendency to protest the way things are has led to many stories about the nature of things. I find it intriguing that these stories differ so markedly between millennia-old Western and Eastern religious traditions. In the West, there has been tension between concepts of judgment and of unconditional love. Unfortunately, despite Jesus’ love-centred teachings, judgment has often won out. If we see one another as somehow responsible for our own suffering because of an inherent-

ly “sinful” nature, it can harden our hearts. In the East, on the other hand, the focus is not upon judging but upon how we can reduce human suffering. To do so, we need to realize our essential nature, which, while finite and therefore prone to make mistakes, is nevertheless fundamentally “holy.” How can it not be, if we are all “children of God?” So I invite us to look at how most of us harm ourselves and others by repeating scripts that essentially tell us—tell one another—that we “ought” to be different. Can you remember

early life messages that you were “less than beautiful?” Are there some phrases that still echo in your mind? At the same time, most of us are prone to behaviour we would like to change. It is one of the paradoxical findings of modern psychology—and ancient Buddhist teachings—that we must accept ourselves and love ourselves as we are to have a chance of bringing such changes about. If we try to force change out of rejection of who we are, we are likely to accomplish little. My “No-Hellite” ancestors faced skepticism

when they promoted love over judgment. There were fears that without the threat of hell, people would “sin” without restraint. Yet even St. Augustine wrote, “Love, and do what you will.” Is it really fear or self-hatred that motivates us to be “good?” Or does a truthful and humble acceptance of our common humanity, quirks and all, empower us to more fully live with love, hope and courage every day of our lives?

For people that have been looking for a non-surgical alternative to liposuction and cellulite treatments, there is good news. Cellulite and body contouring technology has developed and improved to the point where ‘to good to be true’ has turned into ‘really is true’.

A new sociology course that is open to the public and free of charge has been created at UBC tOkanagan by sociology professor Chris Schneider. “To my knowledge, this is the first of its kind in all of North America,” said Schneider. “The goal of the Public Sociology course is to reach beyond the university to bring sociology into everyday conversations. “People will get a once-in-a-lifetime chance to listen to lectures from esteemed sociologists from around the world— as far away as Singapore.” The Public Sociology course was made possible by the Irving K. Barfber Endowment Fund, through which Schneider received a Curricular Innovation Award of $10,000. Lectures will touch ton topics such as sexuality, music, parenting, fear, popular culture, deviant identities, media and tcriminal justice. Schneider notes that he designed the course to provide an opportunity for democratic exchange among a diverse group of people. “Human beings are social creatures,” says Schneider. “Publics are the most important feature of any social order—it is what makes society possible.

SPORTS â–ź ROCKETS

Top teams provide test Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A respite from the rigours of a junior hockey season couldn’t have come at a much better time for Tyson Barrie. Back from a four-day break, the rejuvenated Kelowna Rockets captain will lead his club into battle this weekend against two of the Western Hockey League’s top teams. The Western Conference-leading Portland Winterhawks will stop at Prospera Place on Friday, while the fleet-footed Medicine Hat Tigers will come calling 24 hours later. “It’s going to be a real good test for us and we’re going to find out where we stand against them,� said Barrie. “Those are two good teams and we gotta be ready for them.� Barrie played in Saturday’s 8-1 victory over Kamloops, then headed home to Victoria to reload after an intense and busy

month of hockey with Team Canada at the world junior championship in Buffalo.

‘‘

THIS IS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME OF YEAR, THE TRADE DEADLINE HAS PASSED, AND THIS IS IT‌THIS IS OUR TEAM. Tyson Barrie

The Rockets had their ups and downs in the Barrie’s absence—and that of head coach Ryan Huska—including a fourgame losing streak to start off 2011. But now that the dust has settled and the team’s full roster is back in place, Barrie feels good about the Rockets’ capabilities over the final 31 games of the regular season. “We’ve struggled a bit in the New Year, but our

last game against Kamloops was big for us, it was a good win,â€? said Barrie. “This is always a good time of year, the trade deadline has passed, and this is it‌this is our team. “I like our team, we have a real good core group and as long we continue to follow what the coaches have been preaching to us, I think we’ll be in pretty good shape.â€? The Rockets and the rest of the Western Conference find themselves in the tightest race anyone in the WHL can ever remember. A mere five points separate the last seven clubs, with every team still firmly in the playoff race. In the B.C. Division, only four points divide the first and last-place teams. The division champion will earn the second overall seed in the conference come the post-season. “We’ve been saying it for a while how tight our conference is and how

Old injury ends Gorges’ season

CONTRIBUTED

A KNEE INJURY suffered seven years ago will sideline former Kelowna Rockets defenceman Josh Gorges for the remainder of the NHL season.

A seven-year-old knee injury finally caught up with Josh Gorges. The Montreal Canadiens defenceman will soon undergo seasonending surgery to repair a severed ACL, an injury he initially suffered in 2003 while playing for his hometown Kelowna Rockets. “Obviously, right now, it’s tough to swallow and it sucks, but down the road I’ll have a good knee that’s 100 percent functional and working better than it has in seven years,� Gorges, the Rockets former captain told canadiens.com. “I’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel at some point and when that day comes, it will be good.�

Win

CASH

Gorges had played in a team-leading 150 straight games for Montreal before being felled by the injury Dec. 26 against the N.Y Islanders. The 26-year-old Kelowna native was killing a penalty when he tried to push an opponent away, his knee seized up and he dropped to the ice. Other NHL players in past have played without a functioning ACL, including former Calgary Flame Joe Nieuwendyk and exDetroit Red Wings superstar Steve Yzerman. In Gorges’ case, doctors have monitored the knee closely over the years and told him he could continue to play, but that he would eventually

need to have it repaired. Knowing that day would one day arrive hasn’t made it any easier for Gorges, who has been one of his team’s most reliable defenceman since joining the Habs from San Jose in 2007. “As an athlete and as a competitor, you want to be out there with your teammates. The hardest part is not being in the dressing room with the guys,� said Gorges. “It’s tough to sit up there and watch them go to battle and not be out there beside them. But I want to do the best I can and stay positive and be here to support the guys with whatever they need.� Still, Canadiens’ GM Pierre Gauthier has helped

put Gorges’ mind at ease by assuring him that his future on the Canadiens’ blue line is secure. Gorges becomes a restricted free agent on July 1. “The talks I’ve had with Pierre Gauthier have assured me that I’m in no jeopardy of losing what I’ve done up to this point,� said Gorges, who has played in 364 NHL games. “I think that was something they wanted to stress to me, that they wanted to look out for my best interests. “That’s good to hear from the management side to know that I have their support to go out and get myself back to 100 percent healthy and they’re there to back me up.�

STAFF REPORTER

For the first time in the program’s history, the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s volleyball squad is the No. 1-ranked team in the Canadian Colleges Athletics Association. The initial rankings of 2011 released this week show the Heat jumping from second spot in the nation to the top of the heap. While the rankings aren’t the be-all end-all for the Heat, head coach Greg Poitras sees it as a nice piece recognition for the program. “Being No. 1 in the rankings isn’t our real goal, it’s really being No. 1 in Canada when the season’s over that matters,” said Poitras. “But this is a good thing, it’s good exposure for our program, good for potential recruits and things like that. It’s also nice to see our conference getting the respect we think it deserves.” The Heat will look to build on a solid first half of the BCCAA season as they return to action this weekend at home. On Friday, UBCO will host Columbia Bible College, then will meet Fraser Valley on Saturday. Both

er Valley on Saturday at 6 p.m. Like the men, the twotime defending national champion UBCO women sport a 7-1 record to start the second semester. UBCO lost its last match before the break to VIU, the Heat’s first defeat in the last 37 outings, regular season and playoffs combined. With just six matches remaining in the 2010-11 season, head coach Steve Manuel hopes his Heat have saved their best for last. “This will be fast and furious and our focus will be firmly on the rest of the

BCCAA season,” he said. “The Canada West situation, that will be a focus for the coaches outside the gym, but not for the players right now. In fairness to the players like Caitlyn Nyhus, who’s in her last season, we’re going to out everything we can into this season and make it three in a row. Our plan is to go out with a bang.” As hosts, the Heat have an automatic berth into the BCCAA championship Feb. 24 to 26 in Kelowna.

HEAT BASKETBALL

The UBCO men’s and women’s basket-

ball squads return to the hardwood this weekend for their first conference games of 2011. The Heat will be in Abbotsford Friday and Saturday nights for games against the Columbia Bible College Bearcats. With a 4-3 record, the UBCO men are currently in fifth spot in the BCCAA, while the Bearcats are last at 1-7. The Heat women are also 4-3 and are in a fourway tie for third in the conference. CBC is 0-7. The next home action for both UBCO basketball teams is Friday, Jan. 21 against Douglas College.

Smith is third in the standings and McIvor fourth. “I’m on a pretty good roll now,” said Serwa. “I know I can do it.” It was the 21-year-old Kelowna native’s second medal of the 2010-11 World Cup season.

Scott defends Scotties title in Cloverdale After spending some quality R and R time on the beach in Mexico over the holidays, a re-energized Kelly Scott is ready to take aim at her second consecutive B.C. Scotties women’s curling title. The 2011 edition of the 10-team provincial championship gets under way Monday afternoon at the Cloverdale Curling Club.

The 18-year-old Telemark skier turned in some promising results at the NorAm/ World Junior/ Canadian U23 cross country trials last weekend in Thunder Bay.

Kai McGrath had 15 points for KCS, while Brendan Rempel chipped in 13. The victory avenged an earlier loss for the Mustangs who were beaten by the Knights 69-64 at last month’s Rutland tournament. Both teams were convincing winners against stiff competition in the semifinals. Immaculata beat No. 4 Glenlyon 10252, while the Knights knocked off No. 1 West Point Grey 78-54. “It was a great tourney, it allowed us to once again see where we stand in the provincial picture and it allowed KCS and ourselves

ARTIST Laura Widmer (left) hangs her print, One of the Daves I Know, with the assistance of Jessica Ross, at the Kelowna Art Gallery.

Printmaking alive and well in Okanagan Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s public art gallery is awash with activity this week as students from UBCO’s third and fourth-year printmaking class tape and retape a unique selection of their latest work into the front hallway. The students spent the snowy midweek trying to ascertain the best way to hang the display to optimize their efforts. Printmaking is one of

the more proactive areas of the school’s fine arts program with students able to exhibit around the world while completing their education. This year, for example, they’re already showing in Bulgaria, Toronto and across the United States. In fact, the woman named Canada’s top printmaker this year in the Open Studio National Printmaking competition, Laura Widmer, is one of the students. “She actually came

first and I came second,” said her teacher, associate professor Brair Craig, who said they were thrilled to take home the top two spots at the coveted competition. Both have also been selected to a Canadian printmakers exhibit which will hang in the InterAmerican Development Bank Cultural Centre in Washington, D.C. later this year, though Craig said there are still those who believe it’s a dying art form.

Financial planning and insurance products and services are offered through Raymond James Financial Planning Ltd., which is not a Member-CIPF.

Just as the arrival of photography was once thought to threaten painting, from time to time there are those who hypothesize the advent of digital photography will whittle away at this craft. There’s no comparison in Craig’s mind. Several of the students’ work uses digital photography as one medium en route to their final product, which can be as simple or complex as the artist decides to make it. Printmaking is quite a complicated art with multiple forms of process. Screen prints produce an image which is basically a photocopy of an original picture while those working in relief might cut a start version of their image out of a lino material similar to what one finds on the kitchen floor (though less processed).

Many people are familiar with etching, or engraving images on metal plates, to produce a print, but there is also lithography where a stone or metal plate is used to directly apply an image to a surface. Rather than just showing in one place, printmakers can send their work out to a variety of audiences at once, or sell multiple copies of their work to reduce some of the expense of time and product that typically go into each print. “It’s very labour-intensive,” said Craig. “But you can print multiple copies of your work.” Widmer’s Phansie Knahnsie (pronounced Fancy Nancy) took several months to complete as she painstakingly sliced See Prints A23

Here’s one way to warm hearts–one bowl at a time L

ast week I received an email about some amazing ladies making soup for women’s shelters across the country. I was so moved by the photo of these lovely, apronclad women, passionately armed with veggies and ladles that I instantly wanted to be a part of this sisterhood. One week later, I am thrilled to announce that Kelowna will be launching Canada’s newest chapter of Soup Sisters. Founded in March 2009 by Calgarian Sharon Hapton, Soup Sisters is a non-profit organization that helps coordinate groups of caring women to get together to prepare and deliver homemade soup to women’s shelters in their community. Soup making has always been Sharon’s way to nurture her friends and family who were down. She realized long ago that the act of delivering a bowl of soup had the power to change their day. “Throughout the ages, women have expressed their caring and support for others through the

and to this extent.” The Kelowna Women’s Shelter can manage 20 to 22 women and children at a time and provides both counseling and support services as well as residential facilities 24 hours a day, seven

days a week for women and children who are impacted by domestic abuse. 250-763-1040 Our local chapter of Soup Sisters has partnered with wonderful chef Neil Schroeter of Okanagan Street Food who will facilitate the events at his restaurant and lead the soup making bees. Thank you Neil. www.okanaganstreetfood.com How it works: Groups of 20 will be booked into the once per month soup making parties at Okanagan Street Food for $50 per person. The event begins with a soup training session from chef, followed by a lovely meal (with wine) and ends with a heap of labeled containers of soup ready to be delivered to the shelter. Talk about a feel good party. For more information, to get involved or to book your group of 12 to 20, go to www.soupsisters.org or email us at kelowna@ soupsister.org.

The real Nancy is a friend from P.E.I. who isn’t exactly prone to the moniker fancy, according r to the artist. f The picture shows her sitting in a simple Vr neck sweater, the details f of which are so finely established one can see the individual stitches of the wool in the sweater and the strands of her hair. Phansie Knahnsie will hang very close to Widmer’s other work, One of the Daves I Know, and likely across from an Angela Duclos collage, Kiss Like Flowers, which was named for a lyric in a song. Duclos assembled the collage out of magazine

clippings and coloured papers then shot the image with a digital camera. From there, she was able to separate different layers of colour using Photoshop and begin the process of printing each layer separately, teasing out tones and images as she went. In all, the image contains 14 layers of print, each done without a proof, so it needs to be right the first time. The images will all be on display from today through March 6 and compliment printmaker and former UBC Okanagan instructor Doug Biden’s work, currently on display in the main gallery. The opening reception runs today, Friday, Jan. 14, from 7-9 p.m. at the Kelowna Art Gallery and is open to the public. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

▼ MP’S REPORT

New Minister of State for Finance coming to Kelowna W

hile the halls of Parliament remain quiet until our return at the end of January, much work still continues in Ottawa and in our ridings, especially as we prepare for the 2011 federal budget. Prior to this month’s mini cabinet shuffle, Ted Menzies, the newly-appointed Minister of State for Finance, had agreed to come to Kelowna and participate in a pre-budget townhall meeting.

mugshot name Despite his heavier workload, we are fortunate to be able to say he’s

still coming. Menzies is one of the most personable, down to earth and effective members of our caucus and it is going to be a real pleasure taking him around the riding on Jan. 20 and 21 to meet with you. First on our agenda will be the townhall meeting, which I will co-host with the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce. The objective of the meeting is to get feedback from the local business

community, long recognized as the backbone of our economy and our biggest job generator, so that the 2011 budget reflects any support this sector will need to sustain the economic recovery this year. The pre-budget townhall is open to the public and will be held at the Coast Capri Hotel. Those interested in attending should register by going to www.kelownachamber.org.

The meeting will get started with a meet and greet at 12:30 p.m. followed by a few remarks from Minister Menzies and a roundtable discussion until 2:30 p.m. If you can’t attend that meeting, I’m still looking for your input. I value your viewpoint because it has been my experience that what is being felt and experienced at the local level is generally true across the country.

If you have ideas, especially innovative ways to boost the local economy, create more jobs and keep our community humming along, please share them with me at ron@cannan.ca. No doubt your ideas will help communities across Canada while helping the federal government sustain the economy recovery, get us back up to full speed and balance the budget by 2015-16. ••• On a different subject, it’s worth noting that both Governor General David Johnston and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have made a point in the new year of focusing on the important contribution of the voluntary sector in Canada. Here in the Kelowna-Lake Country constituency, we rely greatly on the dedication of our volunteers as we will again this month when the 2011 International Children’s Winter Games, to be held Jan. 26 to 31 at venues across our city and at the Big White Ski Resort. To honour these “most valuable players,” the prime minister has announced a new volunteer awards program to recognize the outstanding contributions of Canadians who volunteer their time, energy and talents to helping others, as well as local business leaders and individuals from not-for-profit organizations that make a difference in their communities. The awards will celebrate their enormous con-

tributions and we hope it encourages others to participate and make a difference in their own communities.” A total of 17 Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards will be presented annually. Fifteen regional awards will be presented to volunteers, business leaders and individuals from not-for-profit organizations. There will also be two national awards, one to recognize lifelong achievement and one for a young adult. Regional award recipients will receive a $5,000 grant for the not-for-profit organization of their choice, while national award recipients will receive $10,000 for their organization of choice. The first call for nominations will open in April 2011 during National Volunteer Week and the recipients will be announced later in the year. The creation of the new awards program addresses a commitment made by the Harper Government in the 2010 Speech from the Throne. As mentioned, I am in the riding until the end of the month. As always, if you wish to meet with me to discuss any federally-related concerns, don’t hesitate to contact me at 470-5075 or at ron@cannan.ca. I hope the first month of 2011 and beyond is kind to you all. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country.

Local man linked to Cherryville drug bust A Kelowna man is in trouble over a Cherryville grow operation, dismantled Monday by RCMP. Police executed a search warrant at a residence on Specht Road at 3 p.m. and discovered 62 marijuana plants within a growing operation. “This operation was capable of growing approximately 10 times that amount along with an electrical diversion,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The Kelowna man, 35, was arrested inside the house.

He was released on a promise to appear in provincial court, where he is expected to face charges of theft of telecommunications (Hydro service), production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Police continue to follow up on information they receive about possible grow operations in the local detachment area. “It continues to be one of our strategic priorities for our detachment,” said Molendyk.

Don’t ignore mental cleansing S tarting out a new year, many people feel motivated to start a cleansing program for their bodies. But cleansing is not just limited to our bodies, as cleansing of the toxins from our thoughts, cleansing of habits that no longer serve us well, can help improve our overall health. While there is no shortage of kits, bottles, and liquids that stores will sell you for the physical aspect of cleansing your body, there is very little assistance for cleansing your bads thoughts or habits. Here are some ideas to help cleanse your mind: Make it a low-tech day; keep your television, computer, Blackberry or cell phone turned off; go for a walk in the park; find a quiet place and try and clear your mind of clutter; attend a yoga class in your

FINDING REMEDIES

John Sherman neighbourhood or stretch at home. On the mental cleansing side, try to take steps to free yourself of the past hurts and worries that continue to live with you. Start a personal ritual, such as writing a letter (you don’t have to send it) to get out all your feelings; or buy a beautiful journal to give yourself a regular outlet for all your emotions, regrets, and worries. Don’t push these emotions away. Harness them and move on as a smarter person It is never easy to start on a new program of eat-

ing or any other type of lifestyle change, but it is not impossible. Remember, you are the master of your own thoughts and you can do anything you put your mind to. Our thoughts have energy, and what we focus on gets bigger. Focus on what you want, and who you want to be. Pay attention to your thoughts. Write them down. Then consciously choose which you’d like to keep, eliminating any that do not serve you. Rewrite negative thoughts to reflect what you’d like to attract or become. Review your list every morning as the start of a 15-minute meditation. Life as we know it is energy. It comes down to how we manipulate it or to put it another way how we cleanse the energy moving around us.

Homeopathic medicine is an energetic medicine and can be beneficial when working on this type of cleansing. The homeopathic remedy to use would depend upon many different factors and each individual circumstance. Physically, if you decide to do a detox cleanse option, that is only part of the equation. It is also important to cleanse your mental state. Why pour clean liquid into a dirty vessel? In 2011, you can accomplish much and the perfect time to start is now. You will not need any special equipment or shoes; just the desire to do it. John Sherman is a professional homeopath in Kelowna. 250-764-2487 Cedarlake@telus.net

Visiting authors to share their insights The Visiting Authors Series at UBC Okanagan will present three Thursday evening public readings in February and March. The series begins Feb. 3 with Emma Donoghue, whose 2010 novel, Room, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and won the Hughes and Hughes Irish Novel of the Year and the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. Donoghue, who has

a PhD from Cambridge University, lives in London, Ont. Her visit to UBC’s Okanagan campus is part of UBC Outweek, a week of events to raise awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, transsexual, two-spirit and intersex issues. On Feb. 24, during Freedom to Read Week, the series presents Patrick Lane, recipient of the 2007 Lieutenant Gover-

nor’s Award for Literary Excellence. Lane was born in 1939 in Nelson and grew up in the Okanagan, primarily in Vernon. Much of his life has been spent as a poet, having produced two dozen books of poetry. Annabel Lyon, 2011 writer in residence at UBCO, will give a public reading on Thursday, March 10. Lyon’s first novel, The Golden Mean, won the

Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize and was nominated for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Governor General’s Award for Fiction, and the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize. Lyon is the judge for the 2011 Okanagan Short Fiction Contest. All three events are free and start at 7 p.m. at the Kelowna Okanagan Regional Library branch, 1380 Ellis St. For more, call 250-807-9761.

Detroit Auto Show paints Motown green in 2011 Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

Even the racecars were green at the 2011 North American International Auto Show held in Detroit. With a handful of exceptions, placards on the show stands were all touting fuel ratings battery cars and hybrids, a far cry from just three years ago when it was still all about performance. Spurred by the growing environmental concerns and pending tough, new fuel consumption laws, automakers at Detroit went out of their way to stress this year how hard they are working to make

this a greener world. Another sign of sweeping change in the U.S., seen at the show, was the move to smaller, but much better equipped vehicles. Here are some of the significant reveals this year in Detroit.

The KV7 concept’s most interesting feature is its passenger-side gullwing door, which creates a massive point-of-entry to the lounge-like interior when opened in conjunction with the pillar-less front passenger door. A series of near-continuous windows starting at the A-pillar provide uninterrupted views for a day at the beach or a night out on the town.

Chrysler Town & Country still gold standard for utility, luxury Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

SONOMA, Ca.: The Chrysler minivan is still the gold standard no matter how you slice up the seven-passenger pie. Honda, Nissan, Toyota and Kia are still in the game but the king in sales in the full-size minivan segment belongs to Chryco. It’s so good that Volkswagen decided to sell the re-badged Dodge Grand Caravan instead of trying to play catch up and build their own from

scratch. And when it comes to the crossover arena, it’s the Dodge Journey that is number one in sales. The 2011 Chrysler Town and Country is, in many ways, the company’s flagship with a host of standard features that are normally found in luxury sedans plus a few you won’t find anywhere else. Chrysler has also prided itself on breaking new ground, selling 13 million minivans since they were introduced in 1983 with 75 minivan or

industry firsts. The latest innovation is called SafetyTec and brings together 40 technology and safety features into one package. Some of these feature Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross path Detection. Another segment exclusive is a heated steering wheel. Standard on the Town and Country, and still the only vehicles to offer it, is Stow N Go seating and stowage that allows the second row seats to slid below the floor with just one motion. With

very wide sliding doors it makes things like hauling hockey equipment bags to the arena a snap. If you have a boat or trailer, the 2011 T&C can tow 1,632 kg or 3,600 lb. For 2011 is a new 3.6-litre V6 that replaces the three V6 engines offered in 2010. With variable valve timing it produces 283 hp and 260 lb/ft of torque sending power to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel consumption for the 2011 T&C is rated at

THE 2011 Chrysler Town and Country brings together full seven-passenger seating, abundant cargo space, huge power sliding doors and luxury features befitting a premium sedan. 12.3L/100 km (23 mpg) city and 7.9L/100 km (36 mpg) highway. The Fuel Economizer Mode allows the driver to revise shift points for either economy or performance. I drove the new T&C up through the back roads in and around Sonoma, Ca., on a beautiful day with afternoon temperatures hovering around 23 Celsius while it was just above freezing back home. I keep hearing how California is broke and one of the causes must be the road maintenance budgets. Every road from super highway to twolane blacktop is clean and smooth. Of course that means you can drive a little harder in testing a car and that I surely did with the T&C. There have been significant changes made to the suspension that include retuned front and rear springs and damping with larger shocks now found at the rear. The result is you do not get a plowing effect entering a corner. Also there is no tendency for the rear end to step out despite this being a very long vehicle. Credit this to the standard Electronic Stability Control with Traction Control. Safety is provided by a host of airbags including one for the driver’s knees and Advanced Multistage front and side curtain airbags. Front active headrests are standard as is a rear backup camera. Perhaps the biggest

improvement is on the interior. The T&C was always plush but the 2011 version shows Chrysler has tackled the main beef about all their cars and trucks, cheap interiors. At the launch of the T&C, along with several all Chrysler and Dodge vehicles, presenters repeatedly said consumers had made their dissatisfaction loud and clear with interiors being job one across the board over the past year. The premium cloth and leather seating surfaces vie with the new soft touch materials for a luxury car look and feel. The serpentine, gated shifter looks and feels solid. The media centre comes with a 6.5-inch touch screen, 30 Gb hard drive and ability to upload music and satellite radio. Nice touches include ambient lighting, a rechargeable flashlight integrated into the rear cargo wall and the backup camera has on-screen guidelines that bend to help get in and out of tight spots. Lastly in the middle of the instrument panel is the Electronic Vehicle Information Centre (EVIC) that gives reads out just about everything you want to know about what is going on under the hood and at all four corners. There is so much more equipment that I do not have the space to list it all that’s why I suggest going to www.chrysler.ca. Another reason why Chrysler has sold more than 13 million minivans is price.

The 2011 Town and Country lineup starts with the Touring at $34,995. Next up is the Touring L at $36,995 with even more stuff like 17-inch wheels, perforated leather seats and remote start. At the top, and tested here, is the Limited at $40,995 that includes Nappa leather, HID headlights and the new SafetyTec package. As a bonus, all Canadian pricing includes the $1,400 shipping charge. Say what you want about minivans, but there will always be a need for full seven-passenger seating with the kind of cargo volume and reasonable gas mileage you just can’t get in a full-size SUV. And when it comes to filling that need, the 2011 Chrysler Town and Country does it just about as well as it can be done and all with a huge dollop of luxury.

THE SUBARU LEGACY for 2011 combines the sure tfootedness of all-wheel-drive with a wide choice of engines, options and trim levels. Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

QUEBEC CITY— I’ve often compared Subaru to Porsche and the 2011 Legacy mid-size sedan is a great example. Like the Porsche 911, the Legacy is based on tone model that has been refined and distilled over rsome four decades. And like Porsche, the 2011 Legacy is basically one platform that has sevteral variants with quite different dispositions. Porsche and Subaru have been using the same flat or “boxer” engine architecture for many decades. While the Porsche fcan be had with rear- or all-wheel-drive, all Subarus come with patented Symmetrical All-WheelDrive. Unlike part-time systems, the Legacy’s is fulltime with active torque split and Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) that is tailored to the engine and transmission of the three basic models. If you pick a six-speed manual Legacy, the system uses a viscous coupling in the centre differential to lock the wheels and distribute grip 50/50 front/ rear when the going gets tough like on ice, snow and off-road surfaces. If, on the other find, you chose a Legacy with the Lineartronic CVT, you get the active torque split system that uses a continuously variable transfer clutch to send power to the back or front wheels

depending on the surface. The third version of the system is found on the Legacy 3.6R model where the VTD and fivespeed automatic transmission works with a planetary centre differential. Employing an electronically controlled variable hydraulic transfer clutch, fore and aft grip is constantly changing (although you’ll never feel it) with more power normally going to the rear to enhance the ride feel. Okay, I know all the above is as exciting as a Speech from the Throne, but what it means to you is the 2011 Legacy won’t get bogged down and that inspires confidence. There are three trim levels starting with the Legacy 2.5i. It is powered by the boxer 2.5-litre version of the flat four-cylinder producing 170 hp and 170 lb/ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard and pricing starts at $23,995. It is also available with Subaru’s own Constantly Variable Transmission (CVT). Called the Lineartronic CVT, it features paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. CVT pricing starts at $25,195. Fuel consumption ratings for the 2.5i are 10.6/7.4L/100 km city/ highway with the manual and 9.1/6.4L/100 km with the automatic on regular gasoline. The second member of the 2011 Legacy family is the 2.5GT with a 2.5-litre engine but with double

only makes gear changing smoother but also is very satisfying to the ears. New for 2011 is folding side mirrors are now standard on all Legacys. New for the 2.5i is the Convenience Package that included Bluetooth connectivity, 10-way power driver’s seat, stainless steel exhaust tips and 16inch aluminum wheels. All Legacy models come with steering wheel audio controls, electronic parking brake and automatic headlights to name a few standard features. I once owned a 1990 Subaru Loyale and one of the things it had years before the competition was a Hill Holder feature. Driver selectable, it holds the Legacy in place on grades greater than five per cent. As soon as the driver touches the gas, Hill Holder releases the brakes and off you go. Happily, this feature is still found on the Legacy. Thanks to the long wheelbase passenger volume is 2.91 cu m (103 tcu ft). The trunk, thanks to the high rear deck lid measures .416 cu m (14.7 cu ft) which is large for a mid-size car. The Legacy tested here was included in the Canadian preview of the 2011 Forester in Quebec City and was driven on much of the same roads. With VDC grip was great despite Quebec roads sitting under two days of snow. Despite the constantly changing road surface, the Legacy took it all in stride with no sensation of the torque flowing back and forth even though I know it was working overtime

due to the conditions. While prices are vastly less for the Legacy, the three models (2.5i, 2.5GY and 3.6R) respectively compare favourably to the Audi A4, S4 and A6 being in the same spirit and aimed at the same driver. During the press launch of the 2011 Legacy and Forester, it was noted there were only 39 vehicles (including all trim levels) on the market in 1999. Today there are more than 250 as Canadians have embraced the concept of AWD. Subaru has had all four wheels gripping the pavement since the start and, today, the 2011 Legacy is the sum of all that has been learned over the years including winning the World Rally Championship. Next time you’re considering a full-size sedan and want the security of AWD, the 2011 Legacy is well worth a test drive.

Passed away suddenly but peacefully with his 2 children by his side. Doug was predeceased by his wife Trudi (Graber)and 4 brothers and 1 sister. He is survived by his son Jeff, daughter Luana, sister Mildred (Bodine), daughter-in-law Bev, his 2 grandsons Eric and Devin as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Doug was born in Vancouver and quit school at 15 to help with the family finances. He packed coal, drove a taxi, delivered for pizza, linen and salmon companies and went back to school while being a truck driver, got his degree and became a teacher at St Augustine’s. He met Trudi while playing sports and singing in the choir at the Catholic Youth Organization. He worked for BC Tel for 31 years before retirement, transferring to Kamloops in 1967 and Kelowna in 1985, where golf was the main activity for him and Trudi. He was also very involved with the charity work of the Society of St Vincent de Paul. When his health prevented him from golfing or volunteering, he moved back to Vancouver in 2010 where he loved his apartment window view of the North Shore mountains and the freighters in English Bay. Many thanks to those that took such excellent care of him at Vancouver General Hospital in his last 2 weeks. Doug was an avid golfer and an enthusiastic bowler and badminton player. He liked playing bridge/crib, watching football, shooting pool, dancing and drinking red wine. He will be remembered for his great sense of sarcastic wit, his polite, respectful manner, his friendly personality and his gracious, giving spirit. In respect to Doug’s wishes, there will be no service. He will be cremated and his remains will join Trudi’s in Kelowna. For further information, please contact Luana at 604-642-6420.
