Kelowna cold case trial gets underway Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Months before Mounties made an arrest for the murder of Jennifer Cusworth, they took a DNA sample that, for the first time in 16 years, cast light on the cold case. As the trial for Neil Snelson started Wednesday, Crown counsel witness Cpl. Bill Parmar told the court that in the early days of January 2009, the old investigation was given a new focus. With the flow of tips drying up since Cusworth’s 1993 murder, the first order of business was to dust off and read through the reams of files that had accumulated. In a matter of months, that process yielded a list of seven people of interest. All were men who had attended the Richter Street party where Cusworth, 19, was last seen, but had yet to be ruled out as suspects. Consequently, the investigation focused on getting their castoff DNA samples.
The first man to be crossed off their list was found smoking outside a public building in Salmon Arm. Parmar watched him from afar, and when the man walked away Parmar collected the snubbed-out butt, and sent it away for analysis. Results showed his DNA wasn’t a match to semen collected during Cusworth’s 1993 autopsy. Three others were dealt with in a similar manner, Parmar said, but police tracked Snelson for the same purpose from May 19 to June 1, 2009, to no avail. It started to seem as though collecting a castoff sample would be unlikely, so the investigation went a different route. The evening of June 18, 2009, Parmar and now retired Staff Sgt. Dean Filipchuk arrived at Snelson’s Glenmore Road home, to ask him and his wife some questions about the Richter Street party. Speaking from his front doorway, Snelson told officers he had been at the party, but he didn’t know Cusworth and

hadn’t see her at the party on Oct. 16, 1993, or the Bernard Avenue bar they also attended that night. Regardless, Filipchuk broke away, went to his truck and brought back a photo poster of Cusworth, held it up and asked again if he knew the girl. At that moment, testified Parmar, the tone changed. “(Snelson) stepped back and said, ‘I’m not going to let you talk to my wife,’� said Parmar. Filipchuk said that was fine, but then asked, “Is there any reason your DNA would be found at the crime scene?� “No, no, I don’t think so,� Snelson replied with his head down, recalled Parmar. Filipchuk, said Parmar, pushed forward and said, “Which is it, no, or I don’t think so?� Snelson again deflected the question, said Parmar, but offered up new details.

Free program Fundraising target set at $1.37 million helps save energy costs Barry Gerding EDITOR
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
It’s been underway since June, but a free program to help small businesses, particularly restaurants, identify ways of reducing energy consumption and find grants to help pay for that work has had its official launch in Kelowna. The Thompson Okanagan Business Energy Advisor Program provides two energy advisors who go to a business, identify ways of reducing energy costs, explain what grants are available and write a report for the business, all free of charge. The program is part of a $15-million funding plan by the province that includes other programs to help address climate change issues as well. According to Darrell Eason, one of the two Kelowna-based program advisors with Green Step, the company contracted to provide the services, the aim is to help 300 small businesses, 150 of which have to be restaurants. “It’s all about planning for the future,” said Eason, adding if any company is considering a refit, or replacing large pieces of equipment, it should contact the program first. To have an advisor do a report is free and there is no requirement to follow through with any of the work recommended. According to the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, one of the biggest barriers for small business addressing the issue of climate change has been cost. Eason said there are a wealth of grants available to help businesses, everything from one-to-one exchange programs for the replacement of light bulbs to grants of $1,500 to $9,500 for vent hood in restaurants and up to $15,000 for commercial boilers. A company that has already been working with GreenStep to reduce its energy costs is Kelowna-based Prestige Hotels and Resorts, a chain of 12 hotels in smaller communities across the B.C. Interior that hopes to have all its hotels assessed by the end of October. Sonu Murphy, director of corporate services for Prestige Hotels, said her hotels have found their customers are now looking for greener alternatives and the accommodation industry as a whole is now addressing that. One of the first things the hotel chain did was discover that by unplugging fridges in rooms that were not being used, it could save $20,000 per year in energy costs across the 160 rooms they have in their hotels. “Making a relatively small change can make a big difference,” she said. The program also won praise from the president and CEO of the B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association, Ian Tostenson, who said he hopes the work in the Thompson and Okanagan leads the way for a provincial program. “The program offers business cost-effective solutions to the challenges of increasing energy costs and increased demand from the public for environmental stewardship,” said Tostenson. awaters@kelowanacapnews.com

Ashley Bradley knows how tough it is to relive the lost years of her youth in order to graduate from high school. It has been a difficult journey for Bradley to put her life back together, but she is finding her way with the invaluable support of both the Elizabeth Fry Society and Project Literacy, two of 25 agencies in the Central Okanagan supported by the United Way. Bradley spoke of her difficult childhood when she was one of the guest speakers at the kick-off breakfast Tuesday morning at the Coast Capri Hotel for the Central Okanagan United Way fundraising campaign. Bradley talked about how she had to leave home at age 12 because of an abusive father, gave birth to a child at age 14 and got involved in a relationship with an older man who subsequently died. “My life had become a train wreck but I was directed to the Elizabeth Fry Society, who helped me to start a new life for myself, and Project Literacy, which is helping me complete my (high school) education,” she said. Bradley talked about how going back to school was a huge hurdle for her, being an older student who considered herself an outsider, a feeling that was reinforced by the surroundings of school itself. “I had a Grade 6 education, no job and lots of feelings of self doubt,” Bradley recalled, crediting Project Literacy volunteers for helping her to want to “succeed and to believe in myself.” “I have learned,” she told the breakfast audience of more than 200, “that what is in the past is in the past, and in moving forward the future is what

And to that end, Conway announced the fundraising goal for this year’s campaign, which runs until the end of January, 2012, will be $1.37 million “and change.” “The change” aspect will embody 50 new community leaders, 30 more Days of Giving projects, six new youth projects
and 100 additional GenNext members. “Everyone has something to contribute,” said Conway. “Whether it is money or time, any way they can, helps make our community a better place to live in.” Wayne Bilawchuk, who heads up the Kelowna office for PCL Construction, also spoke about his experience as a $1,000 donator to the United Way. “I’ve been very fortunate in my life,” said Bilawchuk, joking that he was transferred from Regina to Kelowna—and was given a raise. “I’ve had some lucky breaks and been in the right place at the right time, but not everyone is as fortunate as I am.”
He said his family is in a financial position to not miss that $1,000 in their lives each year, but it can help out others by offering a hand up to people in need. That $1,000 donation, he said, can pay for 200 meals for people debilitated by mental illness, fund 10 anti-violence workshops or pay for a 10-week course to help abused women. “And on top of that, there is a $400 tax benefit for that $1,000 donation,” Bilawchuk added. Harry Grossmith, executive director of the Central Okanagan United Way, also cited four particular programs that he encouraged the public to support: • The United Way See-

Health care and education driving city’s growth Kelowna city manager says transportation issues will also dominate the city’s future growth development. Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
From his office at City Hall, city manager Ron Mattiussi has a unique view of Kelowna and the path the city is currently taking. Not only does he look over Okanagan Lake and the new Stuart Park, but he has a vision of what the community of Kelowna will look like in the next 10 years and the issues that will mould the city in that time. Baby boomers, transportation and continued development in the core centres of Kelowna are all factors that will see the city continue to grow from a town that was once the smallest settlement along Okanagan Lake into today being one of the major players in the entire province. But Mattiussi says more than anything, the growth at Okanagan College and UBC Okanagan, as well as service expansion at Kelowna General Hospital and Interior Health will be the main engines to shape the city’s future. “Okanagan College is big and growing and UBCO has had phenomenal growth, and I think that has really changed the character of our community,” said Mattiussi in an interview with the Capital News. “I’m surprised at how quickly those two institu-

how the health care industry has also become a guide to Kelowna’s development future. Mattiussi moved to Kelowna in 1995, at the tale end of one of Kelowna’s economic boom periods, as more and more people began looking to the Central Okanagan as a place to move to. As the director of planning at that time,

berta and Saskatchewan. But the boom of ’88 to ’95 brought families from the Lower Mainland who could sell their homes there and buy a place in Kelowna and live in a smaller community. “From ’95 on we started to see a shift (in Kelowna) from a retirement community to a new demographic of young families.”
Mattiussi was in charge of trying to turn what was once a city that covered just eight square miles to a city approaching a population of 100,000 people back in the late 1990s. “When I got here there was a huge shift in the city’s demographic,” he said. “Traditionally, our demographic was Prairie people retiring from Al-
If there has been one constant for the city over the years, Mattiussi says, it’s that city planners were dealt a tough hand when the rural communities of Glenmore, Rutland and the Mission were amalgamated with Kelowna in the early 1970s.

expanses of undeveloped land, transportation networks were never built until the mid-1990s when the population boom brought with it traffic congestion. “Because of the history of us being three communities who have never really seen themselves as connected, the city developed piecemeal and never built transportation networks,” he said. “That played havoc with our transportation system. We had to build connectivity with our roads. We started connecting roads, we started building networks. “The last couple of years the emphasis is on moving people—not just cars but people—in a variety of ways.” Mattiussi says the city will continue to work towards a transportation system that connects people using public transit and bike and walking lanes, trying to decrease traffic congestion by getting people out of their vehicles. “There is less congestion over the last 10 years,” he said. “Now the focus is how do we move people. Some will be on bikes, some will be on longboards, some will walk and some will do all three. “That’s really been our focus now and will continue to be our focus into the future.” kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

In effect until Oct. 15, the campfire ban order is due to extremely dry conditions and an extended period of hot, dry weather.

Zimmermann to seek a seat on council
Cat bylaw on legal shaky ground

ASSISTANT EDITOR
The number of people planning a run for a seat on Kelowna city council is growing, While not all the people who have picked up nomination papers at City Hall have publicly announced that they will run with the official nomination period still three weeks away, two wellknown locals have announced they plan to have their names on the ballot. Long-time incumbent councillor Andre Blanleil, the last of the sitting councillors to make his re-election plans public, and former Kelowna fire chief Gerry Zimmermann have both announced they plan to run in the Nov. 19 election. Blanleil, who has sat on council since 1993, will seek a seventh term after toying with the idea earlier this year of not running again.
Gerry Zimmermann An unabashed probusiness voice on council, Blanleil has been critical of his council colleagues for taking the city in directions he feels are not helping improve its economy or the issues he feels are of greatest concern to residents. Blanleil said he believes the biggest issue is traffic, but council did not tap into the wealth of stimulus funding offered by the province and federal government in recent years to pay for building more roads in the city. Instead, he said coun-
cil’s transportation focus has been on transit, a position he says is wrong because “if traffic doesn’t move, buses don’t move.” Without naming names, Blanleil said he feels change on council is needed and the local government needs to move away from dealing with issues he considers a waste of time, such as the backyard chicken debate. He is also critical of the city spending $4 million on a bike lane on Gordon Drive, something he called “a great thing (for some) but not my priority.” Zimmermann, who led the city’s fire department for 15 years after 19 years as a local firefighter, is now considered somewhat of a legendary figure in the city because of his leadership of the fire department during the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park wildfire and his battle back from a serious lifethreatening illness a few
years ago. But in making his election campaign announcement, he down-played all that. “When I was sick, it seemed like people thought they owed me something from the (2003) fire. But they didn’t owe me anything.” He said he was part of a team that fought that fire and that’s what he wants to be as a member of city council. He feels there is a need for change on council, a familiar refrain from several candidates who have announced they are running in recent days. Health wise, Zimmermann said he now feels better than he did before he got sick. He feels its time to give back to a community he says has given him and his family so much over the years. “We need to see some enthusiasm when it comes to the future of Kelowna,” he said. “And I look forward to
All candidates deny there’s a slate Slate from A1 Gray feels that focus is needed given the state of the local economy. “They don’t feel they can work with the (current) council,” he said about the unnamed potential candidates. Gray is currently in Europe on vacation and could not be reached for comment, but his campaign manager, Shelley Gillmore, said her candidate is not leading, or involved with, any group in the election. “He’s not part of a slate,” said Gillmore. “There is no official slate that involves Walter.” Former Kelowna fire chief Gerry Zimmermann, who has announced he will seek a seat on council in the November election, and whose name has been repeatedly associated with a Gray-led group, also denied he’s part of any slate. “No, absolutely not,” said Zimmermann. “I don’t want to be part of a slate. I don’t like being painted into a corner.” He said he is not even asking for the support of the firefighters because he does not want to appear beholden to any group if elected.
Robert Hobson Coun. Andre Blanleil, the last of the incumbents to publicly announce his intention to seek re-election, said despite his wellknown differences of opinion with several of the people he currently sits with on council, he also is not part of a any slate. But he did concede discussions have taken place among some people in the community about the election. Blanleil has been critical of many council decisions, and said he believes it needs more “balance.” As for a pro-business slate, incumbent Coun. Robert Hobson said he has also heard rumours that one is forming. A perennial vote-topper and the longest serving member on the current council, Hobson said he opposes slates or par-

He said there have been attempts in the past to create pseudo slates, where a group has taken out newspaper advertisements to say it is supporting a group of candidates. But that has not proven successful in the past. Some of the candidates, himself includ-

Thirty-two of those people have allowed their names to be made public. Eight people have now picked up papers to run for mayor with three refusing to have their names made public. They include current mayor Sharon Shepherd and former mayor Walter Gray. As of Thursday, two more names were added to the list of people who have pick up papers, Cal Condy for mayor and Ainsley Kling for council. The actual nomination period for the election runs from Oct. 4 to 14. This year, anyone running needs a minimum of 25 nominator signatures, up from the two in previous elections.

The menagerie of wildlife that Kelowna city council has dealt with is growing. After tackling issues about dogs, feral rabbits, and backyard chickens, council has now turned its attention to cats—more particularly the parts that cats use for reproduction. Council has approved a proposed bylaw preventing stores from selling kittens and cats that are not spayed or neutered. A public hearing will have to be held before the bylaw can be adopted. The city is supporting the move because its says there is a growing problem with feral cats in the city. But while the proposed bylaw would regulate the sale of cats through stores that need a business licence to operate in Kelowna, council recognizes it cannot regulate all sales with the bylaw. Cats sold through classified advertisements in newspapers and on the Internet would not be subject to the bylaw. So councillors want the city to work with the media to inform the public of the severity of the problem and consider it when accepting advertisements for the sale of cats. Both the SPCA and the Okanagan Humane Society have been overrun with cats in recent months, say councilors. And the Glenmore Resident’s Association is also speaking out in favour of the proposed bylaw. But while it received support from the politicians, the man who crafted the bylaw, city clerk Stephen Fleming, said he was concerned that if it was challenged in court, the city would need to show evidence that there is a need for such a bylaw. A date for a public hearing has yet to be set.
ed, have been angry to see their names grouped with other candidates, but in the past the advertisements came out late in the election campaign. Hobson said he believes that if a slate is formed under Gray, some incumbent candidates may join it. While some candidates are already campaigning, the official nomination period for the election does not start until Oct. 4. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Land appraisal comparison results expected soon Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Results of an “apples to apples comparison” on the controversial land swap between Westbank First Nation and the province should be released this week, according to Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart. The land exchange, which has been publicly opposed by the District of West Kelowna, will see
the province give up 698 acres around the north end of Rose Valley reservoir in exchange for eight acres of WFN land. The initial appraisal, done by a company hired by the WFN, valued the 698 acres at $5.9 million. The district claims that the land is worth between $28 million and $42 million, undeveloped. To clear up the discrepancy, the province commissioned a third par-
ty appraisal on the lands. Stewart said that the appraisal will “validate the pricing” of the transaction. Stewart said that if the new appraisal indicates a disparity from the original $5.9 million land appraisal, then the province would be much more concerned with the deal. “If it (is) in whatever the normal deviation or percentage (is) between two appraisers, I think that
would be acceptable. If we’re talking millions of dollars, no, I don’t think we’d be talking about acceptable,” said Stewart. Last Friday, Stewart addressed an open letter to the West Kelowna mayor and council, extending an invitation to meet and discuss ways to protect the district’s watershed. The invitation came after West Kelowna council sent a letter to the B.C. Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Blair Lekstrom, on Aug. 22, inviting the province to attend an upcoming council meeting to discuss concerns over the deal. West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater said that he was puzzled by the open letter from Stewart because, he felt, it was essentially requesting what the district had already requested of the province. Stewart said that the province is more focused on discussing “substantive” issues, instead of every single problem that West Kelowna council has with the land swap. “(The Aug. 22 letter)
Ben Stewart says what they’d like to do is have a public meeting where the minister can come and talk about the 40 some different issues,” said Stewart. The Liberal MLA said that the province hasn’t rejected the idea of meeting with council; however, they want to wait until the land values are released, as that may clear up a number of questions that couldn’t be otherwise answered. Along with the value of the transaction, one of West Kelowna’s biggest concerns is the potential impact on Rose Valley reservoir and the loss of land from Rose Valley Regional Park.
On Aug. 4, Findlater told the Daily Courier, “The government is transferring jurisdiction from the public sphere to a relatively unaccountable entity in the WFN.” Stewart said that comments like these have not been constructive. “We’re looking for constructive dialogue on substantive issues. I think that if you were to read between the lines, I think that they have made this into a highly politicized issue of which they’ve whipped up sentiments towards WFN that are particularly ‘deconstructive,’” said Stewart. “(The WFN) are an accountable entity, even though the mayor has claimed that they are an unaccountable entity.” Findlater said that he regretted using the word, but it didn’t change the fact that the district still has concerns. “Unaccountable is the wrong word. I think one of the concerns is that these lands would move out of provincial jurisdiction to federal and WFN,” said Findlater.
“If you read (WFN’s) Self-Government Act, they have a lot of autonomy in terms of what they do from both federal and provincial governments. That’s a concern. “The current group of people at WFN are a very positive, constructive group, and I hope that continues. But we have to think about other pressures (that may) come along in the next 10, 20 or 30 years.” Findlater said that the invitation is still open for the province to come and speak to council. The Central Okanagan Regional District board has also requested that Lekstrom attend one of their meetings. “I think it’s important to conduct our discussions face to face and not through the media,” said Findlater. “We would prefer to discuss the impacts this land exchange may have on West Kelowna residents in an open and transparent manner.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

The Horizon Drive sewage lift station is in poor condition and is currently conveying flow rates beyond its original intended design capacity.
There is no back-up generator on-site to maintain appropriate service during a power failure, which poses risks to the environment. Gary O’Rourke, director of engineering for the District of West Kelowna, told council that overuse is one reason that the station is in poor condition. “Certainly it’s overworked. Its pump shift

According to O’Rourke, there is another sewage lift station, not far from the Horizon Drive sewage lift station, that will also benefit from the upgrade. “Once we retrofit this one with new pumps, our intent is to pull pumps out of the Horizon lift station. Then we’ve got back-up pumps for the other lift station.” O’Rourke said the upgrades should guarantee a 20 to 30 year life for the Horizon Drive sewage lift station.

Need to delay adoption of city council remuneration queried Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The man who headed a citizens’ task force that recommended Kelowna council members should not get a pay raise for the next three years or a costof-living increase for next two says he’s not sure why it took council four months to accept the rectommendations. Len Pelland, who led the five-member task force that was appointred by council, was in the audience at Monday’s tcouncil meeting when his group’s report was finally adopted—four months after it was presented. “I was concerned with the delay,” said Pelland outside council chambers rlate Monday afternoon. He said while the report on pay for mayors and councillors of simitlar-sized municipalities in B.C., prepared for Abbotsford and considered by Kelowna council at the meeting, showed local politicians here are paid less than the average for their Lower Mainland counterparts and more than their Interior counterparts, he did not feel a pay hike was warranted here. “I don’t believe they need to ‘catch up,’” said Pelland. The task force, a version of which is struck in the third year of council’s mandate in Kelowna and recommends pay rates for the new council that will take office in December, recommended the mayor’s pay of just under $90,000 per year and the councillors’ salary of $31,000 per year be frozen until 2014. That includes forgoing r the usual cost of living int crease that would be automatically tacked on each year during the mandate, t in both 2012 and 2013. While councillors accepted the wage freeze, some questioned the loss of the cost of living int crease. Coun. Robert Hobson called the move “a little punitive.” “I don’t think its right to make that change now,” he said. He also noted the discrepancy with other municipalities but shrugged it off as “the way it is.” Coun. Luke Stack said he believes council members are fairly compensated here while Coun. Charlie Hodge reiterating that councillors never asked for a raise to begin with. However, Coun.
Graeme James took issue with another recommendation in the report, that the city offer the mayor a health benefits plan start-
ing in 2014 that requires the mayor to pay half the premium. He called that a “slap in the face to the position
of mayor,” noting in Kelowna, unlike councillors, the mayor is a full-time employee of the city but will be treated different-
ly than other full-time city employees who have all the medical health benefit premiums paid for. But in the end, coun-
cil voted to accept the recommendations of the task force, and Pelland even got an apology from Mayor Sharon Shepherd
for the length of time it took council to finally get around to dealing with his group’s report. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Now, fix the system
K
ienan Hebert’s return home is as remarkable as it is fortunate. Twelve hours after the abducted three-year-old boy’s family made an emotional plea to his captor, a 911 call was received at 3 a.m. Sunday saying he was back in his home, where he was found sleeping with the three blankets that went missing with him four days before. Questions remain how this occurred, how an abductor could
return to the scene of the crime undetected and escape arrest. The unfenced Sparwood property is in a new subdivision with only one road in and out. Police, in response to criticism that the suspect, Randall Hopley, remains at large, are only admitting they “facilitated” the return. The family had vacated the house and was staying with neighbours. They left the doors unlocked. Police, who had previously
been monitoring the area, were nowhere to be seen. And that’s the way it had to be. If the suspect felt in danger, he might have run, and maybe Kienan wouldn’t be back with his family right now. The boy’s safety was all that mattered. The fact he was returned and is safe after being abducted, as police have said, is rare. Revealing much more about how this was accomplished would only benefit other
potential abductors. What’s more important is the health and happiness of Kienan and his family. Their ordeal is not over. And now that police have arrested their lone suspect—a convicted sex offender with a long list of break-and-enters, who admitted in court to trying to remove another child from a house in 2007—we can look at fixing the justice system that allows people like him to roam free.

Business and taxpayer voting interests are growing apart
W
hat’s good for business is good for the individual taxpayer. That is a theme that’s run through B.C. politics for decades, and explains in part everyone on either the right or left of the political spectrum in this province. But it’s not unique to B.C. We see that theme re-occur in every national election, and we see it played out predominantly these days in the U.S. And it’s showing itself as well in Kelowna’s pending municipal election, where Walter Gray is running for mayor with a definite pro-business slant. But is what’s good for business really in the best interests of taxpayers? Is the potential for creating jobs
worth signing off for with your vote regardless of what other issues the business lobby interests are gunning for with an election victory? In the U.S., for example, where corporations are enjoying record profits, and American manufacturing jobs are being outsourced by those same corporations to lower production costs and provide a convenient tax shelter, the working man in that country is getting the shaft. But whether voters will catch on to that before that country’s 2012 presidential election, or fall prey
to the heavily financed business lobby’s message that says President Barrack Obama is to blame for the country’s economic mess, remains to be seen. Here in B.C, the Barry Gerding most glaring example of that growing discourse between business and the taxpayer was over the HST. The business community was in favour of it, but consumers rebelled against it because they felt it was an unfair burden on their pocketbooks. Another study released last week by the federal government revealed how, despite the rising value of the
EDITOR’S NOTE
loonie next to the U.S. dollar, the price of goods is still often cheaper south of the border than it is in Canada. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said he wants to get tough on companies he perceives as overcharging for their products, but what is he really going to do since his Conservative Party is largely bankrolled by business interests. The corporate takeover of politics in North America, be it in Canada or the U.S., has been going on since Ronald Reagan was elected U.S. president in 1980. He introduced a wave of Conservatism into American politics, one aspect of which was to start to dismantle regulatory agencies that got in the
way of business doing their thing, which is too often plundering resources for profits without any real thought to the long-term implications. Some corporations have rebelled against the municipal tax load on them, calling it both unfair and a restraint on future business growth. The hard questions in all this is what is a fair tax-sharing load between taxpayers and businesses, and what our fiscal priorities should be for governments faced with an aging baby boomer population. So far, only the business lobby interests are trying to impose an answer. Barry Gerding is the managing editor of the Kelowna Capital News. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

WALMART CORRECTION NOTICE
Lesson to be learned from Ashlee’s death To the editor: My name is Hollie Locke and I was a friend of Ashlee Hyatt. Ashlee was only 16 years old when she was stabbed to death outside her friends house party on June 2, 2010. A simple fight had broken out…over something that would soon be looked at as completely stupid. As soon as Ashlee’s murder broke out to all of our friends and of course her family, everything was in a panic. I just remember everyone being so frantic, everyone was calling their friends, posting goodbyes to Ashlee on Facebook and of course they were confused not knowing all of the answers of what really happened. Not knowing if what people were saying was true, it was all a huge, tragic and scary mess for me. What has really stuck with me in finding out about what happened to Ashlee was the way I was told. I was sleeping at home and about one in the morning my boyfriend called me. He was so short and sounded in such shock, then he blurted it out. He told me “Ashlee’s dead” and , thats it. I didn’t know what to think, I didn’t be-
lieve him at first I just thought it was all a sick joke. I started to panic and cry, then I called her over and over and she wouldn’t pick up her phone. I texted her saying “everyone thinks your dead Ashlee, where are you?” and obviously she never answered me. Eventually I found out what happened and I was devastated. I felt alone and I was so scared. I didn’t know how this possibly could have happened to my friend. Like everyone else, you see horrible stories on the news, you read articles in the paper and you feel for these people who have gone through things like this, but you really have no idea until it happens to you. I never thought something so life changing would ever happen to me. I never thought I would be a person to go through having a friend I was so close with, murdered. It’s such an indescribable feeling to know that she was taken by someone we all knew, by someone we thought was so innocent, and by someone we all sat in class with. It will always send chills up my spine knowing I will never see Ashlee again. The reason I wanted to write this let-
ter was so all the kids now going into high school, middle school or any type of school can learn from Ashlee’s death. I just want kids to know that fighting in school or at parties just doesn’t make sense. If something were to turn horribly wrong and you were to accidentally injure someone or even kill them, how would you feel? How would your family feel? How would their family feel? I want everyone to stop and think before they make such a simple decision to fight someone. It’s just not worth it when you can take someones life so quickly, or have your own life taken away from you. Ashlee is never going to come back now, and I will never be able to do the things we use to do with each other again. I know for some people reading this it may just be a letter in the paper, but I really hope Ashlee’s death can make a difference for some people in our city. Ashlee was an amazing person, she was really someone who can never be replaced. She was so full of happiness, kindness and she was my best friend. I will always love and miss her. Hollie Locke, West Kelowna
Ban campfires before fire season is at its peak To the editor: We are losing our common natural heritage one forest fire at a time. The forest fire that began Sept. 5 in Bear Creek Provincial Park in West Kelowna is a tragic reminder of the fragility of our forests and the devastating consequences that occur when people act without regard for nature. Although the police investigation is still pending, the police have said that the forest fire was apparently caused by humans. In B.C., our forests draw tourists from across the globe and provide an endless source of beauty and recreation for outdoor enthusiasts. Most importantly, our forests represent a common heritage to pass on to our children and grandchildren and yet one that is being rapidly depleted. The B.C. Forest Service estimates that on average half of wildfires in B.C. are human-caused. The fact that many forest fires are not
spontaneous natural occurrences calls for a widespread public response. Dry conditions alone are not an excuse for forest fires. One burning cigarette butt or unmaintained campfire can mean the end of an era for a forest which can take up to 100 years to regenerate. In the meantime, we are left with a scarred landscape that bears little resemblance to its former beauty. We are all responsible for ensuring that the remaining forest spaces in the Okanagan Valley remain intact for future generations. As rainfall patterns change with the climate, building a campfire under dry conditions can have disastrous natural consequences—consequences that can exceed our own lifetime. Fire bans need to be applied as a precautionary measure rather than as a last-resort reaction after a forest fire has already been extinguished and the damage done. While open fire and campfire bans have been in place in
the Merritt and Lillooet fire zones since midAugust, no campfire ban was in place in the Penticton fire zone when the Bear Creek forest fire occurred. Individuals who start forest fires, out of negligence or intent must be brought to justice for their actions which will have lasting impacts on future generations. The British Columbia Wildfire Act provides for a fine of up to $1 million, three years imprisonment, or both for individuals convicted of intentionally or recklessly starting a wildfire in Crown forest land or Crown grass land. Among other measures, the court can order individuals who are convicted of starting wildfires to undertake any action to remedy the environment resulting from their actions and direct them to compensate the government for remedial measures taken.

Should advertised $2 burger include all the fixin’s? To the editor: For the past couple of months I have been seeing a sign in front of a local pub: “Thursday night‚$2.00 burger.” So I asked my buddies, Steven and Merv if they would join me for a $2 burger. They laughed. “What do you get for $2, a miniburger? Maybe just the meat and the bread?” So we went last Thursday. The pub was crowded, so while we were sitting, Merv said he did not see the $2 burger on the menu and I should go up and ask. I asked a waitress, “Do you still have the $2 burger?” She said yes and I returned to my seat and told the guys it was OK to order it. So Steven and I ordered the burger but Marv, cautious guy that he is, order melted cheese. He was not taking chances. The waitress came to take our order. “What do
you want on your burger,” she asked. I said lettuce, tomato, onion, but then Merv interrupted and said “Give him the works.” Steven said the same except no cheese and no bacon. Steven was so taken by the extras on the burger that he said maybe he should order two. I said wait until you see it first. It might be too much. The burgers came and they were pretty big, about three inches thick with all the extras. Mine came with thick meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, bacon and cheese, really too big to fit into the mouth. Steven went and got cutlery so we could carve up his burger. That and a glass of beer would come to $5.50 plus tax, or about $6 total. After some wait, we finally got the bill. Mine was $8.96. How could that be? So I looked closely at
the bill. We were charged 25 cents for the lettuce, 25 cents for the pickle, same for the onion and the tomato and 75 cents for the bacon and another 75 cents for the slice of cheese that was not even melted. Steven and I burst out laughing. No question, we had been had. We never thought to ask how much for the condiments. Usually they come with the burger. But was it worth it? Sure, especially that I have a good story to tell. Steven said we were lucky they did not charge for the bun and ketchup. Later when relating this story to my buddy Ed, he became incensed that the pub could advertise a burger for $2 and then charge you for the condiments. It failed the truth in advertising test. He said he would have gone up to the manager and argued for cancelling the cost of
condiments. Doug, another buddy, replied on the email that we got a classic burger for $5.50 which is still a bargain so we should not feel that we were taken. Acutally, he is right in one sense. But my buddy Ed had a point. If you are going to sell a burger, it
should include the condiments because that is what people expect. Ed said that you can lose customers when you pull a stunt like that. But to be honest, the pub was filled to overflowing so I don’t think the phony $2 burger hurt their business at all. Mitch Bloom, Kelowna

W UBC OKANAGAN
New campus buildings have adopted sustainability features With new labs, classrooms, more learning and living space, engineering and medical students coming to class at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus will get their education in some of the newest, stateof-the-art classrooms on any post-secondary campus. The School of Engineering building (Engineering, Management and Education Complex) and the Purcell residence building both opened with the return to classes this week, while the Health Sciences Centre will be ready for the first intake of 32 students in the Southern Medical Program early in 2012. The educational buildings incorporate the latest in high-tech teaching tools from lectures being delivered on huge screens from anywhere in the world to the newest energy-saving technologies. The new structures use geothermal process to heat in the winter and cool in the summer, as do all of the academic buildings on campus. “Our students will benefit from some of the greenest construction and building features,” said Jackie Podger, associate
vice-president of finance at UBCO. “Our new buildings have greater water and heating efficiency and design innovations that incorporate sustainable best practices and green procurement strategies.” At 186,000 square feet, the $68-million engineering facility is one of the largest projects undertaken as part of the campus master plan. Besides housing the School of Engineering, the complex also plays homes to the Faculties of Education and Management. Along with a geothermal system, the building also features a glass atrium to provide space for students, faculty and staff from all three programs to socialize, study, and interact. A green roof and lowflow fixtures will provide 40 per cent savings over conventional systems. Multipurpose classrooms, project rooms and laboratory facilities are designed to bring students together through crossdisciplinary learning opportunities. The Health Sciences Centre is a $31-million, 47,000-square-foot building that includes high-
tech classrooms and lecture theatres, small-group teaching rooms, research and teaching laboratories, administration and faculty offices and linkages to campus infrastructure. Numerous measures in heating, cooling, exhaust air heat recovery, heat pumps and fans are expected to result in use of 49 per cent less energy than a conventional building. One of the unique features of the building is the distance-learning technology which includes a massive screen—14 metres across—that can display up to four video feeds at the same time. This allows for live lectures from other centres to be shown from anywhere around the world, and include multiple subjects. Students can participate in Faculty of Medicine lectures in Vancouver, Victoria and Prince George through pushto-talk microphones and camera technology. Students have also moved into the new $14.9million Purcell Residence, with 212 beds. This brings the total number of beds on campus to 1,648 to meet the needs of out-of-town students.
BLOW
The Purcell also features a green roof, solar heating panels, occupancy and window sensors and heat-recovery ventilators. The building performance has been estimated to be 48.7 per cent better than a similar building built to the minimum levels of the Model National Energy Code. Additionally, storm water is collected and discharged into an on-site retention pond, where the water is treated through natural measures and emptied only through evaporation.
THE NEW Health Sciences Centre will be ready for the first intake of 32 students in the Southern Medical Program early in 2012.

Nelson melds her practical approach and real-life experience with principles of business financial management and consumer behaviour, culminating in strategies to help anyone who wants to stop being broke, and break the cycle of living payday-to-payday, for good. “In addition to the book, readers are encouraged to register for free access to the resource site, where they can access worksheets, spreadsheets, links and other resources,� Nelson says.

and staff at the resource centre have undergone a drastic change. Plagued by uncertainty and rumours, like a Phoenix, the resource centre has risen from the ashes with a new identity. Over the past nine months, the centre has undergone great change, starting with the appointment of Clare Overton as the new executive director, replacing Daryle Roberts. Contracts have since been renewed or extended with Interior Health. In addition, the resource centre has moved into a new location at 168 Asher Rd. in Rutland. To help celebrate the
new office location, the board of directors and the staff at the centre invite the public to an open house today, from 2 to 4 p.m. Beryl Itani, the new chair of the board of directors, and Overton will be on hand. Other staff members will be available to answer questions and outline the centre’s future objectives. “So please, come down and support one of the most promising notfor-profit societies in the Central Okanagan,� says Colby Johnson, the board vice-chairman. “We would love to see yours and the community’s support in celebrating this momentous change.�

W OKANAGAN ORGANIC FESTIVAL
W KELOWNA
Parking issues solved for ‘green’ event
City Park pavilion will be removed
Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The greeny festival is growing. The 6th annual Okanagan Organic Festival will expand to include two venues, organizers say, after the successful event, rather ironically, experienced some parking problems. “Summerhill last year was phenomenal and we really maximized the space,” said Wendy Wright, with the Okanagan Greens Society. “But there was an urban legend going around that we had some parking problems, and we did actually struggle with space for cars at the winery.” With some 1,200 people through the doors
last year, and 1,500 expected for this year, the society decided it couldn’t risk having people park along the main road leading to Kettle Valley any longer and opted to partner with Okanagan College instead. As such, OC’s new Centre for Learning will host an alternative transportation and green building extravaganza, and people will then be able to take a shuttle up to Summerhill Pyramid Winery on Chute Lake Road from the college site to see the rest. Some 72 exhibitors will show at the event in categories like Activist Alley, Eco Presentations, the BCSEA Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Show, Green Fashion and Gifts.
Entertainment will be local with several musicians, like Ari Neufeld, Andrew Hay and Lucy Sharratt joining a line-up including Kiki the Eco Elf, a popular local kids entertainer. Organizers are hoping to raise 2,500 pounds of food for the Kelowna Food Bank by charging a food bank donation in addition to the $6 entrance fee (cyclists are free). Among the speakers will be a representative from CBAN, or the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network. “She’s kind of like Madonna for the organic food geeks in the crowd,” said Wright. Every year the fair also hosts a consignment fashion show and this year
representatives from the college will speak to some of the green building elements in both the Centre for Learning and their new state-of-the-art Penticton campus expansion, which features a building going for Living Building designation. The Centre for Excellence in Penticton is a net-zero energy building, which uses the largest photovoltaic solar array on a non-utility institutional building in Canada that’s
tied to a power grid. It has solar hot water, a green roof, solar chimneys and uses beetle-kill wood in its design elements, to name but a few features that vice-president of education Andrew Hay will touch on when he takes a turn at the mic. The festival runs Sunday, Sept. 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $6 plus a food bank donation at the door.
The City Park pavilion, severely damaged by a fire in March, will be removed this month. A contractor has completed demolition work inside the building and the remaining structure will begin coming down on Sept. 19. The site is expected to be clear by mid-October. During the demolition work, park users will be detoured around the work site by signs and security workers. A barricade will be placed at the entrance to the water park area to prevent vehicles from entering the area during demolition work. The building in City Park housed the City of Kelowna’s Design & Construction Services staff. The displaced employees were set up with work stations in City Hall by the morning after the fire.

W SNELSON TRIAL
RCMP investigator outlines following DNA evidence trail Underway from A1 around with” two other girls at the party, despite the fact he was married. One girl he was “necking” with earlier in the night and the second woman he came upon when he was returning a belt to another woman. He had sex with the second woman in his truck, outside the party. Filipchuk asked if they could meet and get that information on tape. Snelson declined the offer, and the officers left their business cards behind to set a
date to do just that. By the end of that summer, police attained a warrant for Snelson’s DNA. He was arrested the following October. Parmar was the first of 45 Crown witnesses called, and wasn’t crossexamined by Snelson’s defence. In her opening statement, Crown counsel Dione Pizzey told jurors they’d spend the next four weeks listening to testimony about that night, and the investigation that followed. The Crown’s case will involve watch-
ing videos and looking at photos of the crime scene. Pizzey also told the six men and women who’d been selected as jurors earlier this week how Cusworth’s body was found covered in water, face down in a ditch on Swamp Road, on Oct. 17, 1993. She was strangled, but ultimately killed from a blunt force trauma to the back of her head. There were injuries to her face and mouth, but no other bruising and her nails were intact. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Riders are challenged to raise $2,000 from their own communities and many of them average much more than that. During the ride local business and service clubs have sponsored services to cover food and accommodation. As well, the Cops for Kids fundraising efforts do not stop when the ride ends, as a variety of fundraiser events are held in various communities throughout the year.

SPORTS W ROCKETS
Sissons key to Rockets’ success this year Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Like the rest of his Kelowna Rockets teammates, Colton Sissons felt he was a little slow coming out of the gate last season. Now, armed with some confidence and a full year of Western Hockey League experience, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound forward is ready to hit the ice at full throttle in 2011-12. “I was pretty anxious the first part of last season, but after Christmas things started to come together for me,” said Sissons, who turns 18 on Nov. 5. “I think I should be able to pick up where I left off last season, and I want to get my offense started from the get-go. I’m still going to focus on work ethic and my defensive play, but I want to help out more with scoring goals and helping the team win more games. I feel ready to do that.” Sissons finished the 2010-11 season with 17 goals and 41 points in 63 games. Thirty of those points—11 goals, 19 assists—came after the Christmas break. And just as the numbers would suggest, the North Vancouver native simply got better and better as his rookie season progressed—and not just in the offensive zone. “The biggest thing is, he’s the complete package, he understands the game defensively very well, and offensively he can play multiple positions,” said Rockets assistant coach Ryan Cuthbert. “His strength is that he can do everything well and a lot of guys at this level don’t have that. “Hockey sense is huge for him. He studies the game, too, ask questions and is always looking at ways to get better.” It’s Sissons’ wide range of abilities that has many pro teams interested in advance of next summer’s NHL entry draft. Many junior hockey observers have the crafty forward projected as a potential second-round pick in 2012. And if Sissons has a particularly good sophomore campaign, an invite to the CHL Top Prospects Game and the Canadian junior team’s evaluation camp could also be in the cards. But
it’s first things first according to Sissons who is doing his best not to look too far ahead. “I definitely recognize all the opportunities that might arise this year, but I just want to start the year off on the right foot, work hard and be a leader for this team,” said Sissons. “If I play well the recognition will come and there are many possibilities out there. But right now it’ll be most beneficial for me to try and keep that stuff in the back of my mind and just go about my business.” And you’ll get no argument from Ryan Cuthbert who believes both the Rockets and Sissons have a lot more to gain by following the game-at-atime philosophy. “We want him to focus on the way he’s playing, and how he’s playing for himself and his teammates,” Cuthbert said. “You see a lot of guys who get stuck and caught in the mindset that one game is going to change where they’re drafted and everything that comes with it. “It’s not about that, it’s about him getting better every day and our focus. Our focus is always about our team, the individuals within our team and how we can get better every day.” Still, as much as hockey is a team game Cuthbert freely admits Sissons will play a key role in whatever success the Rockets attain in 2011-12. At the same time, the coaching staff is taking moderate approach on the level of expectations they’ll place on Sissons. “Our expectations of him are to be a lot of the same, to be a leader, he naturally does that with the way he plays,” Cuthbert added. “We don’t have expectations too high, we want him to play his game... not to put any pressure on himself whether it’s the draft or anything else. Just go out there and play his game naturally and be happy with it.” Still a few weeks shy of his 18th birthday, Sissons is a relatively young leader on what will be a very Kelowna young team—with as many as four 16-year-olds—during the 2011-12 WHL season. Even with all their youth, Sissons

WITH A YEAR of WHL experience under his belt, Colton Sissons looks to play a bigger role this season with the Kelowna Rockets. expects the Rockets to hold their own in the always-competitive B.C. Division. “The exhibition season has been pretty good and if our younger guys can figure out what the league is all about, the work ethic you have to bring every night, the sooner they figure it out the better. We’re pretty lucky,
the younger guys we have are pretty mature. We’ve got tons of skill and if we work really hard, I don’t see why we can’t be one of the top teams all year.”

The Westside Warriors were missing one of their top players when they played host to Vernon in BCHL pre-season action on Tuesday. Defenceman Michael King has left the team to join 60 other prospects in Canmore, Alta., vying to earn spots on team Canada West, at the upcoming World Junior A Challenge. The 6-foot-4 defenceman has already earned an NCAA scholarship to Colorado College starting in 2012-13, but the prospect of playing for his country is an opportunity that he’s fired up about. “It’s great to be on it,” said the Prince George native of his inclusion on the camp roster. “It’s an honour and privilege to be selected.” In 48 games last season, King had five goals 18 assists, and 22 penalty minutes. The World Junior A Challenge runs from Nov. 7 to 13 in Langley.

Joyce clocks PBs, medals in relay B.C./Alberta series here The international stage brought out the best in Kelowna’s Keefer Joyce. The 17-year-old sprinter thrived under the track spotlight this past week-

In the semfiinals he placed second in another new PB of 10.61 seconds to qualify for the finals. In the finals, the KSS student clocked a time of 10.63 to take fifth spot. Joyce was, understandably, pleased with the final result. “I tried to run my race, tried to run my technique right, I just made it through it in that race,” he
said. “It’s a big surprise for me.” On Sunday, Joyce helped the Canadian team reach the medal podium in the 4 by 100 metre relay. The Canadians won the bronze in a time of 41.44 seconds, finishing behind South Africa (41.00) and England (41.06). Joyce is currently the top ranked sprinter in B.C. under the age of 19, and one of Canada’s top 17-year-old athletes. He is coached by former national class sprinter, Brandt Fralick of Kelowna.
altered somewhat because of the smaller number of players from the Calgary side who made the trip. The three teams began competition in a 10-a-side round robin format. The Vicars were easy victors in both of their matches, outscoring Edmonton four tries to none, and Calgary 3 tries to none. Calgary defeated Edmonton 3-1 in the third and final match. The format was then altered and featured a full 15 rugby match between the Vicars and a combined Alberta side. This game was played with great intensity and there were a
lot of makeshift roles and many players were asked to play out of position. But like rugby in general, players adapt and the game goes on. The local side had the numbers and consequently the fresher legs and this game was played mostly on the Alberta half of the pitch. Both forward packs were evenly matched and as the game wore on the intensity of play during set pieces continued to escalate, but without incident. The Vicars had the advantage on the back line

The Crows second team was not so lucky, as they were soundly defeated 41-5 in a game that was never in doubt. “We used this second game to test out a number of new players and so our line combinations were not ideal and some players were playing out of position,” said Kelowna coach Rob O’Brien. Despite this a number of players impressed O’Brien, notably new comer James Scott and seasoned veteran Derek Dempsey. This weekend, the Crows will travel to Surrey.

Illichmann’s intense play infused the crows with much needed energy as the larger Richmond team began to wear down in the heat. Daniel Blasco-Morris, who was a force the entire game was able to put two tries into the endzone to put the game within six points with only 10 minutes remaining. Second row Chris Hill, who had a strong hard hitting game burst through the Richmond line and scored a try under the post to give kicker Richard Brewer an easy conversion to put the Crows up by one.

In the first half, under blistering temperatures, Richmond used its larger pack size and strength to drive through the Crows defence to score 16 points. The only points the Crows could manage came on an impressive 45-meter penalty kick from hooker Richard Brewer.

W WOMEN’S RUGBY
Impressive start for Crows women Senior women’s rugby returned to the Okanagan on a high note as the Kelowna Crows soundly defeated the UBC women 30-10 in B.C. Rugby Women’s Lower Mainland Tier 2 play on Saturday at Parkinson. The game was played on a hot Okanagan day that reached temperatures of 32 degrees. The Kelowna team used its superior size and strength to wear down the UBC team. Forwards Natalie King
and Serina Swanson were a force to be reckoned with and flanker Isabeau Venables had a number of powerful runs, scoring one try and setting up veteran Jill Richardson in the endzone for an easy score. In the back field Krystle Carpenter, Kristine Slater and Heather Gray each had a number of strong runs that kept the young UBC team on their heels. The result was never in doubt and, despite the heat, the Kelowna women
got stronger as the game went on and their confidence grew. “They are correcting mistakes and adapting their game on the fly, I’m very impressed,” said Kelowna coach John LaBoyne. This was a particularly impressive win for the Kelowna team as the UBC Vancouver squad is used as a development program for UBC’s CIS team, while the Kelowna team is composed primarily of UBC Okanagan players
who aspire to form their own Canada West team. “This win is a huge one for our future program at UBC Okanagan,” said Rob O’Brien the head coach of the UBC Okanagan rugby program. “Although, I do not want to make too much of a single game, this clearly shows these women are moving in the right direction. I am very proud of these athletes.” This Saturday, the local women will host the Brit Lions.

Kelowna Garden Club members remain busy this fall I say this every year and every year I feel it even more—this is absolutely my favourite time of the year. The plants in our gardens get a reprieve from the summer heat and experience a second wind. Watering becomes less an issue and many fruits such as peaches, grapes apples and kiwi are in abundance. The lawn becomes lush again and soon the fall colour will spill out in its entire splendor. It really is a time to enjoy the fruits of our ef-
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett forts, a time to reflect as well on our successes and some of the challenges we experienced this season and learn from them. If this is the year the gardening bug has bitten, perhaps it is time you became involved in the Kelowna Garden Club.
Fall is the perfect time of year to get a taste of what they do. I just received this update from Jean Dangerfield, a member of the Kelowna Garden Club, and I would like to share it with you. “September 1 brings the Kelowna Garden Club to its fall season. There will be four meetings from now until Christmas, each one of special interest to our members. “The meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month, 7:30 p.m., at the Branch
17 Senior’s Centre, 1353 Richter St. in Kelowna. “On Sept. 14, the club will start to think about spring bulbs, as the meeting guest speaker will be Dianne Gaines, with the Van Noort Bulb Company. “She will talk to club members about bulbs of all kinds, so while our gardens are put to bed for the winter we can already start dreaming about ideas for next spring. “On Oct. 12, the garden club will have a very special speaker from Summerland, Jim Ginns,
who will focus on two extremely talented ladies who were fascinated by mushrooms and left a significant legacy through their watercolour paintings. “To find out who these ladies are, you will have to attend the talk. “At that October meeting, there will also be an in-house plant sale. Club members will offer cuttings and pottings of their own specialties from their gardens. “In November, one of the highlights of the garden club’s year takes
place, a slide show of all of the club’s activities during 2011. It will be presented by Judy Runzer, past president of the Kelowna Garden Club. “This is a beautiful powerpoint presentation, a wonderful way to see all of the many trips, shows, and gardens that club members were involved in over the past year. “The club will wind up the year with a Christmas Pot Luck Dinner in December, with entertainment, door prizes and a prize for the best Christmas table centre.
“A day-long workshop is usually held in December as well to teach participants how to make a table centre. “All in all, it is a busy agenda as garden club members both learn a lot and we have a lot of fun in the process.� So if you want to become a club member, check out the web site at www. kelownagardenclub.ca.

Diversity in life can lead to an entrepreneurial discovery C hanges in personal circumstances may invariably lead to opportunities for new venture creation via the self-employment option. Yes, it does happen more times than we might realize, and often in the most unpredictable fashion. I met the subject of my column this week in the most roundabout fashion I could fathom—a weekend that my wife and I unexpectedly spent recently at the Silver Star ski resort. On our way to Salmon Arm, we stopped in Vernon for directions, only to be told there was a monstrous motorcycle rally that weekend in the area. Walking out to my vehicle and with the windows already down, I yelled out to my wifechange of plans, dear, Silver Star it is… Fast forward to the very pleasant accommodation we enjoyed, as my wife couldn’t stop remarking about the personal care products we discovered in the suite bathroom—shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, etc. And so it went right up to arriving back in our home hacienda. Well, I couldn’t let her joy end now, could I? So I contacted Kiley Routley, founder of Back to Earth Enviro Products located in Coldstream, ranting about the joy her products had instilled in our weekend. Routley was nice enough to later drive down to my corner of the valley and meet with me to tell her story. Originally born in Prince George, her family, which would include two younger brothers, subsequently moved to Vernon,
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young where her father owned a golf course. No doubt due to their dad’s influence, Routley and her brothers had golf sticks in their hands when others reached for tricycles and Yogi Bear toys. In 1997, she completed her Visual Arts degree from the University of Victoria. A year later, she married her high school sweetheart and moved to the Kootenays where her husband could complete his teaching degree. During this period while living in Castlegar, the couple had their first child. In 1999, Routley began to feel the itch toward self-employment and participated in the Community Futures program in her area to acquire business development skills. In 2000, after she and her husband relocated to Vernon, the couple had their second child while Routley was exploring self-employment with a hobby interest of her— starting a business called Tree House Photography. At this same time, she was collecting antiques that would present to her a source of creative inspiration with their uniqueness. In 2004, after enjoying her new venture as a home-based entrepreneur for about two years, she decided to sell it to a friend, as the couple’s third child entered the family domain. After that, the fun began for this relentlessly tireless female entre-
preneur. Back to Earth Enviroproducts was actually created as a genuine venture entity in 2007, as Routley had met a classic herbalist who exposed her to developing medicinal products from native B.C. plants. The entrepreneurial bug bit quick and deeply. Routley fell in love with creating cleaning products. She took educational classes and learned to create a range of per-
sonal care and cleaning products that she began to market at the Vernon Farmer’s Market in 2008. She told me with great pride that a turning point with Back to Earth was having her products picked up by facilities at Silver Star and elsewhere in the Vernon area, as word of her product diversity and quality began to spread. So, dear readers, here we have it—yet anoth-

er entrepreneurial venture that began in the kitchen, with someone fascinated by aromatherapy, herbarium, the art of soap making and other earth friendly products. This has led after countless hours of research and practical training to Kiley Routley soon obtaining her credentials as a genuine herbalist. And the range of products for this young company today is truly
amazing. Routley closed our visit with a reminder that she and her husband had found a great retail space in Vernon, and will focus, in part, on bulk sales of their wide range of personal care and cleaning products. She gifted me with a first-time for Joel—a shaving soap bar. I can honestly tell all, this simple but quick men’s shaving tool provides for a

Public hearing Manufacturer fuels up its hiring mode delayed due to public interest Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Northside Industries, a manufacturer of fuel tanks for the oil and gas sector, is doing what many others can’t, given the current economic landscape. It’s hiring.
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Northside Industries president Steve McKay said that the company is in a unique situation. “I think certainly in today’s economic times, you’re not seeing a lot of companies out there going down the hiring path,” said McKay.
“We’ve had very steady growth over the last two years and we’re continuing to grow.” Northside Industries is recruiting skilled and semiskilled tradespeople to meet increasing demand for its products. It has an immediate
need for steel and aluminum welders, machine operators for brake press and laser cutting equipment and production workers. The company, which has been in business for about 40 years under a number of different owners, was sold to a large in-
An application to facilitate an extension of the existing single family residential development at the end of Ranch and McIver Roads drew a significant public reaction on Tuesday. About 20 community members filled the council chambers to voice their concerns over requested amendments to the Official Community Plan Land Use designation that would allow for development of 26.51 acres near the southern end of Ranch Road and Glen Eagles Drive. The subject properties are bordered by undeveloped rural properties to the south and west, residential zoned properties to the north and east, and institutional and agricultural zoned properties to the east. Council gave the amendment bylaws first reading on Nov. 23, 2010, and second reading on June 14, 2011. A large percentage of the public were concerned about traffic in the area, especially at the intersection of McIver Road and Glenrosa Road. Citizens said that the roads won’t be able to handle the additional traffic, especially in the winter. Mandy Wappel was concerned that one of the three proposed zoning changes, adjacent to her property, was planned to be changed from RU2 (rural 2 zoning) to RC1 (compact housing). Wappel said that, initially, she was told it would be changed to R1 (single detached housing) instead of compact housing. “If you lived in that subdivision, you wouldn’t want to go from regular sized lots to little lots,” said Wappel. Another concern was the fear of a peaceful, rural area becoming increasingly urbanized. Council opted to postpone the public hearing until Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 6 p.m., in order to give people with work commitments an ability to voice their concerns before any definitive decisions are made.

McKay said that selling the business and carrying on in a smaller capacity was a good move. “We got the right people in the right positions and we’re complimenting those people with leading edge technology in laser cutting and forming.” The company also manufactures steel and aluminum fabrications for the forestry industry, as well as fabrications for oil and gas and heavy trucks. Northside Industries supplies products to B.C., Alberta and various areas of the United States. According to McKay, the future doesn’t look any dimmer. “From what we’re seeing, over the next six months, things are looking fairly good. We’re seeing our customers increasing their build rates and demands.”

The summer is ending with a splash for children in West Kelowna. Construction of the children’s spray park in Westbank Town Centre Park was completed on Friday. The public is invited to test the waters while the weather is still favourable. “We’re opening the park for a couple weeks, trying out the new systems and ensuring all is in good working order,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. The project cost $328,000 with $248,445 provided by the Rotary Club of Westbank, $40,000 contributed in inkind work and $79,555 contributed by the District of West Kelowna. The spray park features a flower-shaped pad with some 20 motion-sensed spray features.

is a very common type of crash, and is indicative of the horrendously low level of responsibility taken by many drivers in our community.) You are injured. Your “claim” is for fair compensation for your losses arising from those injuries. Your losses include the dollars that come out

Paul Hergott fair compensation won’t come unless you have retained a lawyer and until that lawyer has properly prepared your case. In fact, sometimes fair compensation is never offered and the case has to be taken to trial. I think that many people have the percep-
tion that those injured in a crash are somehow lucky, because they have a claim. When you realize that the claim is simply to fill a hole created by the injuries, it becomes apparent that the perception is not reality. Still, it’s worse than that, for the hole never really gets filled. Nobody actually ends up with fair compensation, even if the insurance company ends up paying it. Why? It’s those damned lawyers who take up to onethird of the claim in fees.

The best you can do is two-thirds of fair compensation, so that hole gets only two-thirds filled. Instead of the lottery ticket that many people perceive an injury claim to be, it’s really the reverse. You are going to end up with an empty hole. The bigger your losses, the bigger your claim. The bigger your claim, the bigger the empty hole that is left after your lawyer gets you “fair compensation.” You are entitled to “costs” from the insurance company, but those costs usually cover an extremely small portion of your actual legal fees and a reasonably accurate estimate of what you will end up with after the dust settles is about two-thirds of the compensation paid. Can we get rid of the lawyers? The insurance company could open its wallet and pay fair compensation for your claim without you needing to hire a lawyer, but that’s not going to happen. The reality is that if you hire a lawyer to prosecute your claim, you can likely count on the case settling for many times the maximum offer the insurance company is prepared to pay without you retaining a lawyer. Why do personal injury lawyers charge such a high percentage of a claim? I have covered that in a previous column that dates back to June 28, 2009, if you care to look for it in my online archive. But I’ll cover it again soon. The only way to get rid of the lawyers is for drivers to pull their heads out of their asses and drive responsibly.

Poirier devises a plan to make himself take time to paint Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Kyle Poirier has fish on the brain and he’s not being coy about wanting to get that sea of images swimming in his imagination out onto canvass. The Rutland-based artist and graphic designer for the Kelowna Art Gallery has set himself a lofty goal: To paint 100 10-inch by 10-inch canvass original works of art by the end of the year and sell them for $100 each. “The fish started around 2004,” he said. “I was a real fish geek growing up and I eventually started painting koi a little while back, almost like stained glass.” Whimsical and colourful, he admits the fish have become the clearinghouse image for his creative side. When no other inspiration strikes,
out come the scales of near-anime fish imagery, although it doesn’t seem inspiration is particularly the problem for Poirier, as much as time. Now a father of a twoyear-old daughter and a four-year-old son, the days of exploring political messages through his brush—like the designer baby series he did in university—seem to have given way to a new reality of stolen hours between the kids’ bedtime and his own need to sleep. Where his paintings once explored Monsanto’s appalling agricultural practices, they’re now more likely to look into the inner workings of an old car engine one might find on a farm, or whatever else he might be commissioned to do. And so, struggling with this design-a-painting versus painting-a-de-

KYLE POIRIER knows how to make his two-year-old daughter smile, but admits he
has trouble squeezing time in for himself to paint. So he’s set a goal to paint 100 paintings to be sold for $100 before the calendar year turns over. sign conundrum, which never really leaves him much time for his own ideas, he decided to put together a very basic pro-
ject—100 paintings for $100 to be sold through his wife’s prolific blog. Poirier is married to Lori-Anne Poirier who
runs the art blog www. thepeartree.ca, which explores Kelowna’s arts and culture scene while giving herself a reason to write.
Her husband is hoping to take a page from her book and create his own need to paint with an online blog, run off her site, that will both motivate him to work and open up a space for dialogue on the pieces he conjures up. Good or bad, he says he’s open to criticism and is really looking forward to getting the discussion going as he seeks out interesting inspiration around town. With roughly a dozen paintings done, and two on the way, it seems the muse varies wildly. From gardens to a Ford Model T car to a motorcycle, a ladybug and, of course, those fish, the hasty collection of acrylic paintings is already shaping up to be a pretty unique view of the world and what life is like living in the Ben Lee Park neighbourhood and commuting to the
downtown gallery. The project began in July, meaning he will likely need to pick up the pace if he intends to meet his deadline; but completing the effort on schedule is nowhere near as important as the process. “I love how technology is empowering the art world, giving the artist the ability to get their work out to the masses,” he said. To check out Poirier’s paintings, make a comment or two on the blog or offer up an inspirational site he might want to pack his paints to, just visit www.thepeartree.ca/ kyle. And while you’re there, catch up on LoriAnne’s latest musing— she’s looking for book club stories at the moment. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

JACKIE EVANCHO: DREAM WITH ME IN CONCERT (COLUMBIA) Young 11-yearold wonder child Jackie Evancho has released this live album just three months after her platinum selling Dream With Me. Hence the new title here Dream With Me In
Concert that features almost exactly the same lineup of songs on her studio album and, to tell you the truth, there really isn’t much difference in sound between the studio set and this live CD. I guess one of the big highlights is the duet with Barbra Streisand on Somewhere from the West Side Story, while Evancho juggles her music between pop songs and crossover classical popera with the two
tunes here from Puccini, Nessun Dorum and O Mio Babbino Caro—the later only one of two new songs not on the studio release. But the real bonus feature here is the additional performance DVD that is augmented with a large photo gallery and interviews. This two-disc set was only released yesterday but I am willing to bet Dream With Me In Concert hits the top five al-
DAVID GUETTA: NOTHING BUT THE BEAT (VIRGIN/EMI)
You get the strong sense this album has come out three months too late. This is full-on summer/club party music where the first song and smash hit finds Guetta and Flo Ride asking Where The Girls At? Coming from a major tourist city like Kelowna I can tell Guetta and co. that they aren’t
in the clubs anymore but rather at work or college and Guetta has seriously missed the boat on Nothing But The Beat. This collection isn’t nearly as strong as Guetta’s last album and its four hits and this edition is particularly brain dead which isn’t necessarily a bad thing for club music. But the season is done and I don’t hear many more hits on this inferior offering. One of the better songs comes from will.i.am with his nearly topical tune and plainly spoken Nothing Really Matters, where he explains club music is pure escapism. The worst track here, besides Guetta’s dull tech instrumental, is Snoop Dogg’s Sweat where it sounds like he literally phoned in his robotic phrase ‘I just wanna make you sweat’ for Guetta to play with. It isn’t a good sign when the all-star help (17) outnumbers the 13 tracks on the disc.

Eagle Records has become one of the finest reissue labels on the planet right now especially for certain acts. There is an ocean of re-issue Rory Gallagher from Eagle as well as scads of new Deep Purple. All the discs feature rare and unreleased material, and in the case of Deep Purple’s highly regarded 1968 debut Shades Of, there are studio outtakes, live TV performances, BBC sessions and an alternate take of The Beatles’ Help. I never quite got to all of these yet but there is also a Special Edition CD and DVD titled Phoenix Rising that includes a “lost” 1975 concert film and a band documentary. Meanwhile, for the uber compleatists there is a two-CD concert set MKII The Final Concerts that I am told also have never before seen the light of day. Big bonuses for the big fans.

nity to lessen the amount of unwanted and unused items ending up in our landfill. “This is the perfect chance to unclutter your life,” said Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitaor for the regional district. “Our first annual Trunk Sale encourages you to get your unwanted stuff to someone who wants it by joining in on this huge sale, all in one big parking lot at Okanagan College. “It’s going to be a fun community atmosphere of bargains, reuse and
meet the neighbours.” Stewart explained that the idea is to provide a unique opportunity to people who wouldn’t normally be able to host their own garage or yard sale, those that live in condos, apartments, or simply have no yard. “But we’re not limiting it in that way. If you just want to show up and sell or trade your wares, you’re still welcome.” Stewart says trunk sales are very popular in the U.K., but not as well known here. “Just as the name sug-

NEWS W MP’S REPORT
W BRAINTRUST CANADA
Back to business in Ottawa H
Marathon golfers tee up $76,000 to assist brain injury programs
aving returned to Ottawa for the fall sitting of the House of Commons parliamentary session, with me came a book of condolences, cards and other mementos that many of you took the time to share in the memory of former NDP national leader Jack Layton. I consider it an honour to deliver these condolences to his family. Many citizens have remarked to me that they are glad to see so many of their fellow Canadians across the country set aside partisan differences during this time of reflection and recognize Mr. Layton’s life of public service. I would like to thank those of you who dropped by my office with a card or note and also who took tthe time to sign the book of condolences as it travelled around the area. Also travelling back to Ottawa with me this time are the many responses and suggestions I received from citizens as part of my summer listening tour. I would like to thank those that offered kind
Dan Albas words of encouragement and warm wishes for my new position working on your behalf in Ottawa, and also for telling me what you think are issues of importance to you. Issues that were mentioned most often were crime and the justice system, the need to control government spending, gas prices, the environment and employment. Many citizens also voiced their support for Senate reform as well as the removal of the long gun registry. Concerns with other levels of government were also common, as was immigration policy. I welcome your input and will share your concerns with my colleagues
/
in the weeks and months ahead. One serious item of concern that did arise earlier this month was the prospect of an NDP motion being put forward by MP Libby Davies that would have resurrected much of former Bill-428 in seriously reducing residency requirements in order to collect Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement. Fortunately, the NDP quickly withdrew the motion referring to it as an error in submission. Rest assured, in the event that this motion or a similar one is introduced, I will be proud to represent the citizens from OkanaganCoquihalla and stand with my Conservative government colleagues in opposition to such a costly and irresponsible assault on taxpaying Canadians. I believe citizens who have worked hard for 10 years or more paying taxes and contributing to Canadian society should be entitled to receive Old Age Security and a Guaranteed Income Supplement and I can’t support this residency require-
ment being removed or reduced for newly arrived citizens. This is one issue that I have heard overwhelmingly on from many citizens all across the riding, and all the comments I have received on this issue have been in strong opposition to any reduction in the residency requirement to qualify for taxpayer funded retirement benefits. With Parliament back in session, I intend to keep taxpayers up-to-date on new bills that might arise. If there is a particular bill that you would like further information on or to be covered in one of my MP’s Report, please do not hesitate to let me know. Now back in Ottawa, I will also be more active again on my daninottawa. com blog site. As your elected MP, it is important to me that you can keep track of my activities on your behalf. My email address is Dan. Albas@parl.gc.ca. Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla.
Some $76,000 was raised in support of BrainTrust Canada and brain injury education and prevention at the Pihl Law Corporation Golf Marathon held Sept. 9 at the Okanagan Golf Club’s Bear course. Twenty-eight golfers played 100 holes of golf each over a period of 12 hours. The day included chances to win $50,000 in prizes courtesy of Harmony Honda, Capri Insurance and Avalon Event Rentals while the top three fundraising golfers—Brad Dahl, Patti Flaherty and Doug Rankmore—were eligible for the chance to win $1 million at a special Million Dollar Hole in One courtesy of RBC Dominion Securities. These three also received the top three fundraiser prizes, which included a native jewelry set courtesy of Jerry Hlady, Golf Getaway to Rossland courtesy of the Prestige Inn and Redstone Resort and helicopter ride courtesy of Valhalla Helicopters. The grand prize that all the golfers strove for was a trip to Maui to golf at the Wailea Golf Club, courtesy of WestJet,
BMO
Fairmont Kea Lani and Four Seasons Resort Wailea. “Viewpoint Medical was pleased to increase its support of this unique event and great cause” said Angela Symes, vice-president of operations at Viewpoint Medical, a division of LifeMark. “We were involved as a hole sponsor in the past, however, this year we participated as a silver sponsor in addition to having three golfers, including myself, attend from Calgary. “We are very impressed with BrainTrust Canada’s commitment to bringing awareness to the serious impact of brain injury, and it is a great pleasure for Viewpoint, LifeMark Health and Centric Health to be a part of this incredible event.” “We are in awe of the support we received this year,” said Magda Kapp, director of communications for BrainTrust Canada. “While our number of golfers was down somewhat this year, we raised more funds—$76,000—and that is directly thanks to the hard work of our fundraising golfers, sponsors, prize donors, and of course the volunteers.”

WEST KELOWNA
WEST Kelowna residents gather on the beach at Kalamoir Regional Park last Saturday for a pancake breakfast.
The fresh smell of breakfast filled the air at Kalamoir Regional Park on Saturday. The Regional Parks Services Department, along with the Friends of Kalamoir Regional Park Society, hosted the community pancake breakfast. The Kelowna-Okanagan Mission Lions Club served up pancakes, sausages, juice and coffee from 9 to 11 a.m. The small parking lot was filled for most of the morning as people spread out across the beach for the most important meal of the day. After breakfast, many took part in a guided hike, while others played various games on the beach. CLOCKWISE from top left: Alison Campbell Urness leads a group of hikers for a one hour interpretive trek; Bob Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor (right) and Dave Borge (second from right), members of the Kelowna-Okanagan Mission Lions Club serve pancakes and sausages; Kevin Lee prepares for another bite of his pancake; Erik Urness takes a break from his pancakes to play some badminton on the beach.
