Give a gift of the past
Plea for more police officers resonates with city council

STAFF REPORTER
You don’t have to be a history buff to be interested in stories of the past in the community in which you live. Such personal tales bring history to life, and often explain the history we’re making today. Books with such tales make good gifts for anyone, even those who don’t consider themselves scholars of history. Locally, members of this community have joined the Museum Writers’ Group and have been gathering at the Okanagan Heritage Museum to record the stories of their lives—personal history, adventure, tragedy and the simple successes in life. For nearly a decade the Kelowna Museums Society has been helping to assemble and publish those stories, with the 11th volume of collected stories published this fall, and now available at the museum’s gift shop. In it, 17 local authors have taken the big step to agree to take their tales

ROPE WORK…Kelowna Fire Department technical rescue team members Craig Shemley and
Jason Twamley (bottom) practised a line transfer while hanging high above the seats at Prospera Place this week. The fire department holds regular practises at different locations to hone their technical rescue and equipment skills while working from elevated heights.
Hot on the heels of a Statistics Canada report that pegged Kelowna as the most weakly policed city in the country, the local complement of Mounties was poised to be bolstered. City council was ready to release funding for hiring of two additional officers early on in Thursday’s budget deliberations—investigators for sex crimes and fraud divisions—despite a report from internal staff to maintain the status quo. Policing is the most weighty part of the city’s budget. Even without new hirees, the cost increased this year by $858,000 due to a combination of wage increases and mandated pension hikes. But Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon’s annual impassioned plea for more police officers appeared to resonate with elected officials. “When members go call to call and response times are slow, it’s because they’re backed up in the queue,” he said, ex-
plaining Wednesday night offered an example of the pressures on the force. A fatality on the highway called for seven cars while, at the same time, numerous other police were attending an electronics warehouse where a significant theft was underway. “They had a number of TVs, ready to go out the door…how many members does that take, plus all the domestic disputes we attended?” he said. “It’s stressful for the members. They’re breaking down…I’m working them and I’m a hard driver, believe me.” Last year, when McKinnon made a similar request, he was looking for 21 new officers and received five. This year he was asking for five, and got approval for two. Accounting for the new officers, it means the entire contingent will sit at 148. The Statistics Canada report on policing that came out Wednesday, said that the number of police officers in Canada had See Plea A8

Pedestrian and driver killed in two separate accidents Two people were killed in separate accidents in the Central Okanagan this week. A 52-year-old male, from Peachland, was killed after his Nissan sedan collided with southbound semi truck at the intersection of Highway 97 and Clements Crescent in Peachland at about 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Police say the Nissan driver
stopped at the stop sign on Clements and Highway 97, then proceeded to pull onto the highway when it was broad-sided by the truck, which was transporting a load of lumber from West Kelowna to Washington State. The driver of the Nissan was taken to Kelowna General Hospital but didn’t survive from the injuries sustained in the collision.
Police have not yet released the name of the accident victim. Meanwhile, police were still trying to track down on Thursday the driver of a semi truck involved in an accident that saw a pedestrian struck and killed by a vehicle at the corner of Abbott Street and Highway 97 on Wednesday shortly after 5 p.m. Police say a pedestrian had been
standing on the corner for several minutes before appearing to intentionally move into the pathway of the passing trailer unit. Police say the driver of the semi is not at fault for the crash, and likely is unaware that it even occurred. The truck, white in colour with a box trailer, was traveling northbound in the Highway 97 slow lane when the
pedestrian was hit. The deceased male is a 79-yearold Kelowna resident. His name is not being released by police. Anyone with information about this accident is asked to call Central Okanagan Traffic Services at 250980-5353.

Groundwater monitoring drilled in aquifers at risk Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
An innovative groundwater monitoring project involving all levels of government and the Okanagan Basin Water Board should result in creation of the first six monitoring wells by spring next year. The Okanagan Water Supply and Demand Study, substantially completed earlier this year, pointed to a number of sensitive aquifers in the valley that could be at risk of either contamination or over-use, explained Nelson Jatel, stewardship director for the OBWB. In the Central Okanagan, that includes aquifers in the Joe Rich area, one south of UBC Okanagan and one in the Glenrosa area of West Kelowna. Whenever there is increased land use above an aquifer, concerns about contamination and water quality increase, and, particularly in confined aquifers, there are concerns
‘‘
THERE SEEMS TO BE A STRONG CONSCIOUSNESS FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH LAND USE MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. Nelson Jatel, Okanagan Water Basin Board
about water quantity with increased use. Because there is no licensing of groundwater in B.C., there aren’t the controls on use of it that there are for surface water. However groundwater licensing is being discussed as part of the Water Act Modernization process. Jatel said the project team was particular-
ly gratified at the response from local governments who have been very supportive in sharing the cost of drilling monitoring wells. The costs range from $11,000 to $30,000 a well. “There seems to be a strong consciousness from local government and its relationship with land use management decisions,” commented Jatel. Data from those wells will be gathered by the environment ministry as part of the B.C. Groundwater Monitoring Network and it will be posted on its website. In addition to the six wells to be drilled in the coming months, Jatel said the plan is to drill five more monitoring wells around the valley in the next year. There’s also discussion about a pilot project in the Okanagan to license the use of groundwater, particularly in sensitive areas, he said.

But if you love the landscape of the Okanagan as I do, your interest could be in the scent of sagebrush or pine on a sunny day and the memories that invokes, or it could be in the geologic history or the biogeoclimatic zones that make up the valley.

Don Gayton’s Okanagan Odyssey, Journeys through Terrain, Terroir and Culture, published by Rocky Mountain Books, is a delightful little gift book, crammed full of word pictures that evoke the essence of the Okanagan. Backed by his extensive knowledge of ecosystems, Gayton is able to do much more than just gloss over the landscape with a description of colours and shapes. Instead he brings an insight few of us can match, with his understanding of the interconnectedness of all components of an ecosystem, and the threats it’s under. At the same time, he somehow succeeds in blending some of my favourite pastimes: enjoyment of the natural outdoors world and all that it contains, a love of books and reading, and delight in savouring a glass of fine wine. On the other side of the coin, Bill Mathews and Jim Monger’s Roadside Geology of Southern B.C., published by Heritage House, is much more technical, and less lyrical, but still very interesting.

Stuart Park ice rink leak source found Contractors working to locate the Stuart Park ice rink cooling system leak believe it is located under the plaza. The investigation work will continue to focus on the header portion of the system, located along the south edge of the plaza. “They are going to pressure test each of the connections along the header, starting with the ones that are already exposed on the east side of the plaza,” said Andrew Gibbs, City of Kelowna park and public space projects manager. Pipes connected to the header form long loops running north-south under the plaza. This network of pipes holds the cooling agent that draws down the temperature of the concrete slab to allow ice making during mild temperatures. “Once they have located and diagnosed the problem, they will begin the repair work,” Gibbs said. “How long that will take is hard to say…”

Treat yourself athyisseason! holid Grants available for water conservation projects Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Looking for a few thousand dollars? If it’s for a worthy project that would enhance water quality or conserve water in the Okanagan Valley, the Okanagan Basin Water Board invites you to make application for their annual grant program. Non-profit groups and local governments are eligible, but each must get the approval of their local government before submitting the project funding application to the OBWB. There’s a total of
$300,000 available, but the board received 37 submissions with requests for nearly $754,000 for that pot of money last year. A total of 18 projects were funded. The money comes from a taxpayer levy of pennies per household through the regional districts which make up the OBWB and the goal is to encourage innovative ideas, including ones which can have an impact on the whole valley. Executive director Anna Warwick Sears says the grant program exemplifies the board’s slogan ‘One Valley. One Water.’ “Everyone who lives

in the Okanagan, whether you live in Armstrong or in Osoyoos, is interconnected through our one water supply. What happens to the water in the north affects water quality in the south. We also live in a dry climate and have less fresh water available per person than in many areas. Yet, homeowners use more than twice the Canadian average and that affects quantity.” The program funds projects that tackle such important issues, she noted. For example, Penticton’s environmental audit pilot project this year helped business owners
reduce water and energy consumption, and it’s a project that could be repeated in other communities. Another example is the Okanagan Xeriscape Association’s UnH2O Demonstration Garden at the H2O Aquatic Centre on Gordon Drive, which provides examples of landscaping that require less water and is more appropriate for the region’s dry climate. The Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program’s update of foreshore inventory mapping and aquatic habitat index for Okanagan Lake will now make it possible to
create a single file of data for the whole lake. This was a collaboration of communities and regional districts all around the lake, as well as the environment ministry, the Community Mapping Network and Ecoscape Environmental Consultants. The result will be a tool for comparing habitat values for the lake’s shoreline for assistance in formulating shoreline policy, and permitting development as well as in directing restoration. The deadline for applications is Friday, Feb. 21. Applications are available on the website at: www. obwb.ca.

Kelowna resident Wanda Reszitnyk, volunteer director for the B.C. Lung Association, says the QuitNow & WIN contest is a great opportunity for people who want to quit smoking. With more than $20,000 in prizes, a 24/7 network of online and telephone support and a whole community of people providing advice and encouragement, the QuitNow & WIN contest is intended to provide smokers with incentive to quit. “It can be very difficult for anyone to quit smoking,” said Reszitnyk. “The QuitNow & WIN contest helps to motivate smokers to commit to quit, but in the end the real grand prize for all quitters is a healthier, smoke-free lifestyle.” According to the Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey 2009 data, 14.9 per cent, about 550,000 British Columbians, continue to smoke. The BC Stats Tobacco Attitudes and Behaviours Survey Report 2008 shows that, at any given time, about 70 per cent of smokers wish to quit. “Each smoker is unique. Our overall objective is to provide smokers with tools proven to increase smokers’ chances of quit success,” said B.C. Lung Association Director of QuitNow Services Jack Boomer. “The contest itself is an incentive; a reason for smokers to commit to quit, be it for the first or fifth time. Registration for this year’s contest will close at 11:59 p.m. on Jan. 7. Contestants must remain smoke-free from Jan. 8 through to midnight on Feb. 4, 2012, to be eligible for the prizes, all donated by McNeil Consumer Healthcare.

KGH clinical support building tender awarded Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The company currently building a six-storey patient care tower at Kelowna General Hospital has been chosen to build a new $47-million clinical support building for KGH, to be located across the street from the main hospital site. The new building, which will become home to several KGH services including the hospital’s laboratory, will be built by Graham Design-Build Services, which signed a fixed-price contract with Interior Health earlier this week to design and build what the hospital now calls the East Pandosy Clinical Support Building. The building will be linked to the third floor of the new Centennial tower via an elevated, enclosed walkway over Pandosy Street. The CSB is part of the $448-million Interior Heart and Surgical Centre project announced for KGH by the province in January. It is slated for completion by 2012 to allow construction of the new cardiac care centre to begin. “I’m pleased to see this phase of the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre project move forward,” said Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson. “This milestone signifies the next step towards de-
livering accessible and state-of-the-art cardiac and surgical services to residents of the Southern Interior.” His Kelowna-Lake Country colleague Norm Letnick said he was particularly pleased that the new building will be a LEED gold building, meaning it will be built to top environmental standards and minimize the release of greenhouse gases during construction and subsequent operation. Also, to meet the commitment of B.C.’s Wood First Act and showcase the use of wood, extensive use of the material will be used throughout the building. The new clinical support building will be three storeys high and 7,850 squaremetres in size. “This building and the IHSC project as a whole will help Interior Health achieve its goal of providing some of the highest quality acute care services in the province,” said Interior Health Board chairman Norm Embree. Work will begin to remove the preload material that has sat on the site for most of the last year over he next few weeks. Construction is expected to get underway this winter and the CSB will be completed and open by 2012. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

KELOWNA BUDGET
Park service levels scaled back No smoking signs get butted out as budget cost Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Beaches, parks and city owned spaces may look a little less pristine in the year ahead, as service levels will be scaled back, reflecting tightened municipal purse strings. Joe Creron, director of civic operations for
the City of Kelowna explained to city councillors during Thursday budget deliberations he was making short-term sacrifices for the sake of financial solvency. “Do I want to eliminate Christmas decorations?” he asked, illustrating the cuts that were being made. “No I don’t,
but I can…It’s going to hurt a little but if it didn’t hurt, then I have too much money.” Creron went on to point out that maintenance levels on the new Rotary beach, the areas alongside the active transport network and city boulevards are just a few places that will reflect the fru-

gal approach to the year ahead. It’s something Coun. Robert Hobson pointed out that Kelowna residents were bound to notice. “In some areas we won’t keep up with graffiti as much as they’d like, clean new beaches as we’d like to or pick up litter as much as we’d like,” he said. The most important part, he stressed, is that it’s necessary to make sure that cuts didn’t threaten existing infrastructure. Maintenance issues were made early in the budget process, and reflected the mindset of council and staff to limit any tax hike to two per cent.
STAFF REPORTER
Leaner times pose a risk to the city’s ability to follow through with the new bylaw that mandates smokers butt out in public parks and beaches. During the course of Thursday’s budget deliberations, city councillors passed by an opportunity to fund a plan to put up ‘no smoking’ signs in public spaces. It would have cost about $22,000 to put the markers in local parks, beaches and sports fields. Funding would also be used for additional advertising and education to the public regarding the new rules. Now, without the markers, the practicality of the bylaw comes into question. “This makes it difficult to enforce,” said Ian Wilson, from the city’s parks de-
partment, noting the bylaw comes into effect by February. “It’s a tough year, so I’m following up with the Canadian Cancer Society to see if we can get matching funds. “City council is still interested in following through with the bylaw.” Council voted in September to pass the bylaw that prohibits smoking in nearly all public places, as the follow up to 2009’s bylaw that banned smoking in “natural spaces” where a fire hazard could be discerned. At that time Wilson said a nationwide survey supported initiatives that would extend a ban. In it, 75 per cent of Canadians claimed they favoured smoke free beaches and parks. About 68 per cent of smokers were even on-board with the idea.
RCMP detachment to add two new officers Plea from A1

reached its highest numbers since 1981, growing to approximately 69,000 members, a number that in turn reflected the number of crimes solved. With an extra 2,000 members hired in the first four months of 2010 the officer-to-citizen ratio climbed two per cent, amounting to 203 officers for every 100,000 people. Locally, however, that number is far below the
status quo. The Kelowna Census Metropolitan area was assessed to have only 107 officers for every 100,000 in population. To secure the two extra Mounties, city council—which was largely committed to keeping with a two per cent tax increase—will have to figure out how they can ante up the related $260,000 in cost increases during Thursday’s budget deliberations, which contin-
ued well past the Capital News press deadline. That means another cost will have to be axed. By deadline, the required shuffling had yet to be made, though councillors expressed a desire to bolster the police force.
FIRE DEPARTMENT EXPANDS
Police aren’t the only organization that will have its numbers inflated in the year ahead. Kelowna Fire Department did some thoughtful
accounting, and by reducing the amount of dollars for overtime, they were able to commit to taking on four new members in July. Council was told that bolstering the number of fire fighters will be a priority in years to come, once the Glenmore fire station is eventually built. That will require 20 full-time firefighters and it would be “impossible” to hire them in one shot. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

â–ź FAITH
Cherishing childhood memories about Christmas S ome people claim or say that Christmas brings out the child in all of us. A child has a sense of wonderment and curiosity. A child has a sense of trust and expectation. A child has a sense of risk. Sometimes I observe my grandchildren doing, what I consider, dangerous things, but when I caution them, they reassure me that it is quite alright, Grandpa, they are fine and can handle it. Not to worry. An example happened this summer as one of my grandchildren ventured out dangerously too far into the lake, but did eventually return safe and sound. When questioned about his action, he assured us that we did not have anything to worry about. He was fine. Taking a risk is part of the growing up adventure and learning. As we grow into adulthood, we tend to lose this sense of wonder and perpetual curiosity. As adults, we often explain things away and logically define them, which loses the sense of magic and mystery. We become reticent to take any kind of risk. The Christmas drama recreates that sense of wonder and awe. How could this small baby be God in flesh? We too take a risk to believe that. We take a risk of being ridiculed and almost accused of lacking

By the same token, I believe totally in the Christmas story and the Virgin birth even when I do not understand it all. I am prepared to take that risk and like a child, I trust in the word of God. We need to invite that inner child to come back into our hearts and receive that renewed sense of wonderment and curiosity. One of my favourite childhood memories was going to catch crabs on the beach in Trinidad. One day one of these crabs bit my toe and I had to smash it against a rock so that I could be freed. It hurt. I was sorry for the crab, and in my child likeness I wished that I could tell him so. To do that I would have to turn into a crab to

Giving the gift of you
I
t’s estimated the average Canadian will spend more than $1,100 this Christmas season buying gifts, entertaining, traveling to be with family or friends for the holidays. In total, we’ll spend more than $28 billion in retail stores in the month of December. But the greatest gift of all won’t drain your wallet or stress the limit on your credit card. It’s you. According to Volunteer Canada, 12.5 million Canadians
give some of their free time to help out in their communities. They’re coaches, mentors, advocates, activists or firefighters. They staff the offices of community organizations, serve on their boards of directors, raise money to keep those organizations going. They put on or help out at community events. They help care for and comfort people in need, or who just require a friend or sympathetic ear. They cut grass, shovel snow, clean ravines

and shorelines. They walk dogs, shelter cats, tend homeless snakes, raise fish so creeks and streams may teem with life. They construct, create and calculate. Volunteers touch every aspect of our daily lives. They’re the threads that weave together the fabric of our society. They’re the foundation for our quality of life. Volunteers are selfless, but the reward they get from giving their time and abilities are totally selfish — the warm feel-
ing when a shut-in senior thanks them for dropping off lunch, the damp cheek from a dog happy to be liberated for a half hour from the shelter, the high-five from a kid who’s finally mastered a corner kick. The gift of volunteering needs no batteries. It won’t harm the environment. And it doesn’t cost any money. It can be a large gift of many hours a week, or a small one. All it takes is desire, commitment, and the spirit of giving.

Liberal candidates not taking ‘scientific’ approach to HST VICTORIA—Christy Clark is the second woman to enter the B.C. Liberal leadership contest. I mention this in case you forgot about Moira Stilwell, the Vancouver radiologist who led the way into the post-Gordon Campbell era in late November. Stilwell did her own diagnosis on the harmonized sales tax and concurred with mainstream economic theory. It’s efficient and it promotes personal savings as well as business investment. In medicine, if you believe the patient has the right prescription to improve her health, you don’t then look for ways to discontinue that medication as quickly as possible. But that’s the situation we have with our less
scientific candidates. Clark didn’t always understand the HST, but she consistently supported it on her radio show before her splashy re-entry into politics last week. So the lone “outsider” becomes the fifth candidate to replace Campbell, after endorsing the tax that led to his sudden retirement. So apparently, the five are unanimous that the HST is a great idea, and all but Stilwell want to get rid of it as quickly as possible. One after another, the cabinet veterans sought to distance themselves.
First George Abbott agreed with Stilwell that the new premier should move up the date of a provincewide referendum from September to June. Tom Prognosis of patient Fletcher not good, Abbott intoned. Then Kevin Falcon scrubbed in. Get the vote done as soon as possible, and maybe the HST can be revived if we slice a point or two off. Mike de Jong’s outlook was, well, grave. Cutting the rate would be like putting lipstick on the scars. This patient is terminal, so let’s pull the plug
VICTORIA VIEWS
as inexpensively as possible. An election-style vote would cost $30 million, but a mail-in ballot could be done for less than half of that. By the time Clark arrived, the HST was a palliative care situation. Her only option for a fresh perspective was to move toward assisted suicide. OK, let’s scrap the referendum, she said. It’s doomed anyway. Let’s go back to the legislature and have a “genuine free vote” where B.C. Liberal MLAs can reverse their earlier votes and throw it out. There are so many things wrong with this idea that it’s hard to know where to start. Mistake, said Abbott. “A real blunder,” said Falcon. De Jong said if he had to vote on the HST
again, he’d support it like he did the first time. (NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston also believes scrapping the referendum now would be dumb, and it’s not often you’ll find him agreeing with Falcon.) Clark’s “genuine” free vote would have to take place before she even has See Fletcher A11

▼ RAT RACE
Consider yourself lucky stuck in traffic grid-lock To the editor: Many daily commuters envy those socalled computer geeks who get to stay at home and access their work by cruising the information highway. In theory those lucky devils can get up when they want, dress how they like, work when they want and take breaks whenever they feel the urge. At first glance it might appear they have time-travelled back to some idyllic family farm where the leisurely pursuit of planting
seeds and raising animals has been replaced by the even easier tasks of growing ideas and nurturing networks. In reality these stay-at-home wizards have to run hard and fast just to keep up to date with a rapidly changing technology while grappling with convoluted proposals, arbitrary deadlines and time-stealing emails. The pie-in-the-sky predictions that computers would make our lives carefree have been debunked by the cut-throat, cost-point global competition; an increasingly complex
workplace; a fast-paced, consumer-creditdriven society; and our own personal economic uncertainty. Next time you find yourself getting stressed out in traffic gridlock give the other drivers a wave and a smile, because we’re all in this together. On second thought, maybe a primordial scream would be more therapeutic and a lot less risky. Lloyd Atkins, Vernon
▼ GOV’T RECORD
Liberals: Too many screw-ups to mention To the editor: Re: MLAs Want Input On Priorities, Dec.12 Capital News. The priorities listed by our three MLAs: Norm Letnick, Steve Thomson and Ben Stewart, are all very interesting but they smack of motherhood priorities—undertakings that probably should happen anyway. It’s hilarious if it wasn’t so serious the statement by these gentlemen; Mr. Letnick saying that they will continue to work to support all the projects on the list but that government funds are limited. And why are government funds limited? Mainly because these three gentlemen, along with the rest of the Liberal gang,simply wasted our tax dollars as follows 1. Lets start with the HST. We told you we didn’t want it because it
would cost us more in taxes, but the Liberals kept saying over and over it’s good for us. So much for listening to input from your constituents. 2. The money spent on advertising by the Liberals ie.: (a) We have come in under budget and (b) B.C. is the best place on earth to live. Advertising of this nature must be costing us hundreds of millions of dollars and is totally unnecessary. 3. B.C. spending $1.36 billion for a new Vancouver convention centre and upgrading the Vancouver stadium. 4. Paycheques for MLAs keep getting bigger and bigger while our politicians keep telling us to tighten our belts. 5. Then there is the B.C. rail fiasco. We paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to executives to
administer a railway we didn’t own. 6. (This one is real classic Liberal boondoggle.) The Conversation on Health to the tune of $10 million. My wife was invited to that one and it didn’t take her long to figure it as a great big waste of money. 7. Privatizing B.C. Ferries and building ferries outside the country when we already have an excellent shipbuilding industry. 8. Tell us please why David Hahn, B.C. Ferries, boss is worth a million dollars a year. 9. Then there is one of Mr, Campbell’s favourite approaches—private/ public partnerships better known as P3. A good example of this is the Kelowna General Hospital expansion where a private consortium designs, builds and maintains the
$119 million expansion. This method costs taxpayers more money because governments pay less interest on borrowed money than the private sector and, of course, the health authority has lost control over the facility. 10. Then we have the 2010 Olympics. The cost to the taxpayers will be in the billions although I doubt we will ever know the true cost. These 10 items are just scratching the surface Do these three gentlemen really believe we are going to swallow their “input list” as it is nothing more than Liberal window dressing. We have the worst child poverty record in Canada and imagine our child welfare watchdog is forced to take our Liberal government to court in order to seek access to Cabinet documents so she
can do the job she was appointed to do.S heer nonense and no doubt very costly. We have the lowest minimum wage in Canada; we broke legally signed contracts with the teachers and forced hospital workers back to work with a 15 per cent reduction in pay; and on and on the list goes. It’s too bad the NDP is in such disarray at the moment. Perhaps they will very quickly get their act together. Once the Liberals decide who their leader will be we should all keep in mind she or he have part of the old Liberal gang and then we can expect more of the same screwups, too many to mention here.

Stilwell only logical voice on HST Express yourself Fletcher from A10 a seat in the legislature. It would divide the B.C. Liberal caucus again, unless her idea of a “genuine” free vote is everyone doing what she tells them to do. This plan would be a disaster. It shows that while Clark spent the last four years getting in touch with families on her radio
show, she lost touch with political reality. Which brings us back to Stilwell. When I reached her on the campaign trail, she reaffirmed her support, and vowed again to campaign for the HST. Stilwell said people have earned the right to have a direct say, and she is “perplexed” that Clark would suggest taking that
away. Stilwell remains hopeful that other benefits of the HST can still be discussed, giving it a chance for public support. In short, she remains logical and consistent in her approach. It’s no wonder she is given no chance to win. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

n article I read recently about job retraining for displaced workers looked at the success rate of older adults switching careers through training usually funded by the government. The article profiled a man who worked as an assembly line worker at Chrysler for $33.84 an hour and since losing his job was studying to become a cardio technician. This man had a science degree from his country of origin so it was a natural fit for him to enroll in a health program. During his program, he found out that although the college he was attending would provide him with a diploma, this credential wouldn’t give him the certification he needed to work as a cardio technician. He also found out that his job prospects were weak once he got his certification as there were few jobs available for cardio technicians. This man’s story is a

Jane Muskens perfect example of not fully researching a career or program before you enroll. His experience is not unique, especially for adults who find themselves out of work and haven’t had to research career and educational opportunities before.
‘‘
ASKING ADULTS CLOSER TO RETIREMENT TO CONSIDER A CAREER CHANGE…IS ASKING THEM TO SWITCH INTO A DIFFERENT GEAR THEY MAY NOT BE READY FOR.
These adults often end up working with an employment advisor who works for Canada Employment Insurance (EI) or subcontracts to EI. I can just imagine their first appointment, especially if they haven’t had to look for a job in well over 20 years. Many are probably just trying to figure out what questions to ask. Depending on their age and previous educational experience, these adults are literally thrown
into navigating what can be a complicated system of EI retraining, certification, and post-secondary education all at once. Asking adults closer to retirement to consider a career change, when most of their planning in the last five years has been focused on less work, is asking them to switch into a different gear they may not be ready for. Some adults (and this isn’t age related) may also have literacy and numeracy skills well below what is required to even consider retraining. Their best opportunity may not lie in pursuing a new career but to gain basic skills to get on the right track to be successful in school. Getting workers retrained to meet the job market of the future isn’t easy. For the unemployed worker it takes a lot of self-determination and the confidence to ask a lot of questions—no matter how dumb they may think they are. It takes someone who knows how to navigate through myriad policies, requirements, and processes and not be discouraged if they hit a brick wall or don’t understand what is expected of them. This is why it isn’t easy. Adults faced with retraining should consider all their options and get as much help as possible to make the decision that will provide them with long-term employment.

HERITAGE
capital news A13
Vivid pictures of our history preserved through narrative stories Past from A1 to print, with more than 30 stories included in this edition. The first two volumes won a provincial award from the Heritage Society of B.C., and the first four are sold out. On a broader scale, Robert Budd has collated and edited some of the tales of this province’s pioneers that were recorded by late CBC journalist Imbert Orchard between 1959 and 1966, called Voices of B.C. It includes local voices such as that of Henry “Paddy� Ackland, who moved here in the early 1900s, building log cabins and then working in the tobacco fields in Kelowna. He describes working as a government weed inspector and on a dairy farm, with memories that are full of detail about the Okanagan Valley of that era. Budd says there are many such vivid pictures of what life was like in those days here, and in other parts of the province. He was hired by the CBC to digitize the archived material now in the Royal B.C. Museum and found himself fascinated by the rich historical background in the hundreds of narratives. “There’s a 3D feeling to hear in their own words about their experiences. It takes the dryness out of history,� he noted. In all, he listened to 998 of the interviews, and
says there may be a sequel to this volume.

More water kiosks on campus delivers better water, reduces waste New WaterFilz kiosks are being installed in the three newest academic buildings on UBC’s Okanagan campus. The kiosks provide
fresh, free, filtered water to students, faculty and staff who bring their bottles to the stations located in the university’s new Arts and Sciences II building, and

Complaint leads to drug, cash seizure Kelowna RCMP are pleased with a large drug and cash seizure after responding to a theft complaint. On Dec. 13, Kelowna RCMP members were dispatched to the Sandman Inn on Harvey Avenue, for a report of a theft caught on video surveillance. The hotel reported that a hotel guest had been caught on camera stealing fixtures from a hotel banquet room.
Police attended the suspect room and spoke to the male suspect. Investigation led to the arrest of the male and two females for possession of stolen property. The fixtures were found in the room. While in the hotel room, police also observed a small safe and believed it to be stolen. Once the safe was opened, police recovered the following: • 1.5 pounds of crystal
methamphetamine • Half a pound of powder heroine • Approximately one pound of powder cocaine • Approximately 180 tablets of anabolic steroids • Approximately 250 tablets of Oxycodone prescription (pain killer) • A significant amount of jewelry, believed to be stolen • $27,000 in cash. The drugs could be worth $200,000 if sold on the street.
Police have not been able to identify the owner of the safe. The investigation continues and police hope to proceed with charges in the near future. All three suspects were released from custody. They are all well known to police and the male has a known drug history, and a criminal record for drug trafficking. The hotel property was recovered and returned to the hotel.

Auger admits that the kind of detailed analysis, testing and development the students have undertaken would have been beyond his company’s means—the connection with Okanagan College made it possible. Students have developed improvements to the braking system, to sled articulation, and to rider comfort. A student design team working on the suspension and seat developed a pneumatic system that allows standard ski lifts to transport the chairs up the hill. They’ve taken them from the idea stage, through mockups and validation and into prototype development.

We believe in lending our time to voluntary organizations as well as giving back financially,” said Borring-Olsen. “This $20,000 contribution will support the purchase of world class equipment for the Centennial Tower. “As a result, the Kelowna General Hospital will be able to provide even better patient care, and enhance the experiences for patients, family and caregivers, physicians and staff.” Petraroia said “a vibrant, growing hospital” is an essential part of a healthy community, noting that at some point KGH will help every family in our region. “We think it’s so important to ask everyone to be part of the Take Care, Take Part campaign. This is a truly exciting time at KGH,” Petraroia said. The $6-million Take Care, Take Part fundraising campaign is the most ambitious goal the KGH Foundation has undertaken, Petraroia added.

Acupuncture can help cure a child’s bed-wetting issues B edwetting, or involuntary nighttime urination, is a common occurrence for many children. It’s often simply a developmental stage, though an embarrassing one. It is most common for children under the age of 6 or 7, and most will outgrow out of it beyond this age. Between ages 8 and 11, fewer than five per cent of children continue to have a problem with bedwetting. It’s generally not a cause for concern because nighttime bladder control may not yet be established. It’s not clear what causes bedwetting, but there may be various factors including a small bladder, inability to recognize a full bladder, hormonal imbalance, stress, sleep apnea, chronic constipation, urinary tract infection, diabetes, or in rare cases an anatomical defect in the neurological or urinary system. Most children outgrow bedwetting on their own. However, for more difficult cases, treatment may include using moisture alarms, bladder training, or if all else fails,
NEEDLE NOTES
James Kaufman medications. But many parents are not comfortable with the use of medications for their children. This is where Chinese medicine can help. Children are not miniature adults, but have their own special health considerations. Their anatomy and physiology are immature, so treatments used for adults may not be appropriate for a child’s delicate system. Also, because children are generally quite healthy and quick to heal, they respond very quickly to treatment and require lighter treatment than adults. When using acupuncture, this means fewer points, gentler treatment, and fewer sessions to resolve the problem. Also, simple home remedies such as acupressure and diet or lifestyle changes may be enough
to resolve the issue. In Chinese medicine, bedwetting is mainly due to the immaturity of the kidneys. Because the kidneys are responsible for urination and the bladder’s retention, it follows that a child’s not yet fully developed kidneys may lead to urinary problems. If bedwetting is due to weak kidneys, it will involve nighttime enuresis of one, two or more times per night, clear urination,
pale complexion, lower back or knee soreness or weakness, and possibly cold limbs and an aversion to cold. Bedwetting may also be due to a weakness in the spleen and lung organ-meridians, in which case the symptoms will involve nighttime enuresis, shortness of breath, white face, weak appetite, loose stools, spontaneous perspiration, lack of strength, and a dispirited nature.

Treatment for bedwetting is straightforward once the correct cause is determined. Acupuncture can help to strengthen the organs and correct imbalances. But how do you know if acupuncture is appropriate for your child? I always ask parents to discuss acupuncture with their child. Find out if the child wants to try it. With their naturally curious nature, most children find the experi-
ence to be very positive and do very well in treatment. However, if there is any fear or apprehension, it’s best to leave the idea of acupuncture alone, at least for the time being. There are simple habits that can be performed at home to help resolve bedwetting. Avoiding drinking too much in the evening and emptying the bladder before bed is good prevention. Also, the child should
not be allowed to become too fatigued before going to bed, as overfatigue can further weaken the kidneys, spleen and lungs. And a healthy diet without too many rich, greasy, spicy or strong flavours and avoiding chilled or cold food and too much sugar and sweets can also help strengthen these organs.

terest in this matter is the recent court case involving a young driver named Eric Tough, who was found at fault by ICBC for an accident in 2007. The case finally wound up in provincial court and the judge reversed ICBC’s assessment completely. Jon Schubert, president and chief executive officer of ICBC, recently acknowledged Mr. Tough was not treated with the respect he deserved. He even phoned to apologize. In a recent letter to a Kelowna newspaper, Mr. Schubert wrote of “the importance of (ICBC) treating our customers with respect while we work with them to resolve disputes and settle claims fairly.” He then went on to outline the appeals process for customers who disagree with how their claim is handled: 1) Talk to the adjuster’s manager, who will work to resolve the dispute. 2) Request a claims

he Insurance Corporation of British Columbia is an important institution in our province that has had notable successes in recent years. British Columbians pay among the lowest insurance rates in Canada and enjoy some of the best coverage in the country. In 2008, the rates for basic coverage were held steady and rates for optional coverage were reduced by three per cent. In 2009, ICBC again lowered optional rates by three per cent and maintained basic rates. This year, ICBC announced an average 2.4 per cent reduction in basic rates. Our unrestricted tort system also offers one of the highest no-fault medical and rehabilitation benefits in Canada ($150,000). This is three to six times more than what is offered by other provinces with tort, such as Ontario, Alberta and Nova Scotia. Each of these prov-

assessment review. An independent third party will review your written submission and our files. This person’s decision is binding on (ICBC), but not you. 3) If you are still not satisfied, contact (ICBC’s) customer relations department at 1-800445-9981. 4) If customer relations is unable to address your concerns, consult with the ICBC fairness commissioner. The fairness commissioner will review the handling of your claim to ensure that you were treated fairly, and if not make recommendations to resolve the problem. As Mr. Schubert has said, “I’m sorry we didn’t get it right for Mr. Tough. We aren’t perfect, but we are working hard to provide our customers with the excellent service they deserve.” I believe my constituents feel it is of the utmost importance that the appeal process of ICBC be fair and not intimidating. Therefore, if you have a recent story about the ICBC appeal process that you would like to share with me—positive or negative—that could help me understand whether this matter requires further attention, I would be most grateful to read it.

Hamilton gets Rockets’ Barrie on guard for Canada nod for world Kids all across Canada will be watching Barrie on the ice in Buffalo junior tourney ▼ WORLD HOCKEY
Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
The World Junior Hockey Championship has always been a big deal at the Barrie household in Victoria. But none will be as big as this year’s world junior as Tyson Barrie will not be around to watch the games from the biggest junior hockey tournament of the year.
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
‘‘
ME AND MY FRIENDS WOULD ALWAYS GO TO MY HOUSE AND WATCH IT AND BETWEEN PERIODS WE WOULD GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY ROAD HOCKEY.
Barrie will instead be wearing the red and white jersey of Team Canada after being named to the national squad that will go for gold in Buffalo at the 2011 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship. “I remember as a kid the world juniors was always something you loved to watch,” said Barrie on Wednesday, a few hours after learning he had made the cut for Team Canada. “Me and my friends would always go to my house and watch it and between periods we would go outside and play road hockey.” This year millions of kids across Canada will

ROCKETS captain Tyson Barrie will spend Christmas in Buffalo with his Canadian junior teammates. be watching Barrie and the rest of Team Canada take on the world as the 19-year-old Kelowna Rockets captain will be spending Christmas away from his home and his junior team. It’s about as good of a way for a hockey player to spend the holidays. “For me personally, this is huge,” said Barrie, who started the season with an injury that kept him from attending the Colorado Avalanche
NHL training camp. “It was a bit of a letdown to get hurt at Rockets camp and not have the chance to go to Colorado. That was my goal: To make the NHL. But when I didn’t get the opportunity my focus kind of switched to my job in Kelowna and what I had to do to make this team.” By his own admission, what Barrie had to do was to play both ends of the rink and not take too many chances going
on offense. And his inclusion on the final Canadian roster seems to prove that Team Canada officials like the package that Barrie brings to the table. ‘I think my style of play has developed over the last few years,” said Barrie. “When I came to Kelowna I was one dimensional. But I’ve worked hard with our coaches to change that into a two way guy that can shut down the opposition’s top guys.”
Where Barrie fits into the plans for the Canadian coaches is still to be determined. Next week will bring some exhibition games before the tournament begins on Boxing Day against Russia. For at least a day however, Barrie was able to enjoy the fruits of his hard work in making a dream come true. “I’m really excited and now I’m anxious to get the tournament going.” kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
Curtis Hamilton doesn’t normally wake up at 4 a.m. However, the prospects of being jarred from his slumber by a phone call Wednesday morning in his hotel room made the Kelowna Minor Hockey product a tad restless, to say the least. As it turned out, the Saskatoon Blades’ forward and his roommate, Simon Després, had nothing to worry about as both were named to Team Canada’s final roster for the 2011 IIHF World Junior Championship this month in Buffalo. “It was a long night,” a relieved Hamilton said Wednesday afternoon from Toronto. “Usually, the guys who get released get a phone call between 6 and 8. We didn’t get one. Instead, they came and knocked on our door, and told us we’d made it. It was a great feeling and a huge relief.” Hamilton was among nine WHL players named this week to Canada’s 22man roster for the world junior championship which begins on Boxing Day. He is also the first Kelowna product to make the grade since defenceman Josh Gorges in 2004. Growing up in a hockey-minded household, Hamilton has been acutely aware of the gravity and importance of the annual tournament for Canadians for as long as he can remember. It wasn’t until recently, though, that the 6-foot3 208 pound forward im-

agined he might actually be one of those players wearing the Maple Leaf. “I think every Canadian boy remembers growing up at holiday time, there’s snow falling outside and you’re watching the world juniors on T.V.,” said Hamilton, the son of Kelowna Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton. “I think it’s in the back of every kid’s mind that you dream of playing with Canada someday, but you don’t know if it will ever happen. This year I kind of saw that it might be a reality and, now that it’s happened, it’s going to be very exciting and a great experience.” With Saskatoon, Hamilton is one his WHL club’s top players and sees the ice in every conceivable situation.

Rockets battle Hitmen before break Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna Rockets are about to get a welcome and lengthy break from the grind of the Western Hockey League season. But not until the final horn sounds Friday night in Calgary does the coaching staff want anyone getting too wrapped up in the spirit of the holiday season. “It’s always a struggle this time of year keeping the guys focused, but they’ve done a pretty good job of it,” said Rockets assistant coach Ryan Cuthbert. “We’ve got one more game, we’ve got to do the right things and finish strong…then we can have a good break. Overall the guys have been pretty good about not thinking ahead.” The Rockets will close out a five-game eastern road tour Friday against the Hitmen, then will have
10 days off for Christmas before returning to action Dec. 28 at home to Everett. So far, the road trip has produced mixed results with wins over Red Deer and Lethbridge and losses to Medicine Hat and Edmonton. “I thought we played two really good games, and two games where we were OK at times, if that makes sense,” said Cuthbert who, along with fellow assistant Dan Lambert have been guiding the club in Ryan Huska’s absence. “The win in Red Deer and the loss in Medicine Hat, I thought we were very good and the guys came with everything they had in both games. The other two games, we struggled at times and didn’t have the same push. Overall, it’s been all right.” The Rockets (18-150-0) are coming off a 3-2 shoot out win over the Lethbridge Hurricanes on
Wednesday. The game featured the Rockets debut of 15-yearold defenceman Madison Bowey. Kelowna landed the Winnipeg native in the second round of the 2010 bantam draft. “I thought he was great,” Cuthbert said of Bowey’s effort against Lethbridge. “He’s a guy who makes a good first pass, and he reads the play very well. He was solid and didn’t look a bit out of place.” The Rockets will get a glimpse of another of their top defensive prospects as Calgary’s Jesse Lees is expected suit up Friday against the Hitmen. Lees was Kelowna’s No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft. As for Friday’s opponent, the Hitmen have had a tough start to the WHL season and currently sit last in the Eastern Conference. However, Calgary, the defending WHL champs, have shown signs of life
of late with three wins in their last four games. “They have a great coach (Mike Williamson), systematically they’re very solid, and they’re a hardworking team,” said Cuthbert. “Regardless of where they are in the standings, they’re a good team. I expect a good battle from them.” The Rockets will be without forward Mitchell Callahan for Friday night’s game. The 19-year-old California native is in New York at Team USA’s selection camp for the world junior hockey championship. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Warriors see SilverBacks for two
chhausen scored a power play goal late in the second to break a scoreless tie, the Vees answered with two third-period goals to earn the win. The first Penticton marker raised a measure controversy as Kyle Mountain collided with Warriors goalie Kevin Boyle as he jammed the puck in, but the goal was allowed to stand. Two minutes after that, Brendan O’Donnell notched the game winner. Warriors head coach Darren Yopyk thought his team deserved a better fate. “I thought we played
very well,” Yopyk said Wednesday following the game. “… we did a good job tonight and they got more bounces than we did and that’s unfortunate. I told the guys I’m proud of them, I thought they had a really good effort, they competed hard.” The Warriors first game after the Christmas break is Tuesday, Dec. 28 in Trail.

The Westside Warriors hope to head into the yuletide break on a winning note, but a lot of that will depend on how much cooperation they get from the Salmon Arm SilverBacks this weekend. The Warriors and ‘Backs will close out their fpre-Christmas schedule with a home-and-away series as the BCHL clubs meet Friday night at the rSunwave Centre in Salmon Arm , then again Saturday at Royal LePage Place.

Rockets 6-3 on Sunday, the local T3 team’s lone loss in 25 games this season. Kelowna fought back from a three-goal deficit to tie the game in the second period, only to come up short. “It was a great game with our entire team play-

George Elliot Coyotes senior Jonathan Russo has committed to the UBC Okanagan men’s rteam as the Heat prepares for its first season of Canada West competition in 2011-12. In addition to leading the Coyotes to a fourthplace finish at the 2010 provincials, Russo has been a starter on B.C.’s provincial team the last two seasons. Between volleyball
and academics, Russo sees UBC Okanagan as an ideal fit in every regard. “My decision to go to UBCO was made because of their outstanding athletics program, which is now moving to the CIS, and because of Heat’s award winning coaching,” said Russo. “Plus having a university with such an outstanding reputation so close to home was a perfect fit for me.” Russo’s resume is filled with MVP and allstar recognition.

Russo’s resume filled with MVP, all-star recognition Russo from A23 named a tournament allstar and won the spike
competition at the B.C. high school boys AA championship last month. Coyotes coach Chris
Frehlick said Russo possesses all the tools to be a solid and versatile university player.
“Jonnie graduates with the most complete skillset of any volleyball player I have ever coached in high school,� said Frehlick. “His well-rounded skills and his knowledge of the game make him a very highly soughtafter recruit. He is the only player in the province that can step into a CIS program and contribute right away in four different positions. It’s up to coach Poitras to determine where his abilities best fit, but to have that flexibility will be a huge asset.� As for the Heat’s head coach, Greg Poitras is thrilled to be bringing Russo on board.

“In my opinion he is the best all-round high school player in the province,� said Poitras. “We knew it would be tough making UBCO home for Jonathan as a number of schools were interested in him. We are very happy to add this level of a player going into year one in the Canada West. Jonathan will be an impact player right away and will compete for some significant floor time at setter and outside hitter.� The Heat men host an exhibition tournament over Christmas break.

Owls dominant Telemark team gains valuable experience home games ▼ X-COUNTRY SKIING
Members of the Telemark Nordic Racing Team gained some valuable experience at a season-opening cross country ski competition last weekend at the Sovereign Lake Nordic ski club in Vernon. The Nor Am Race Series event featured some of the top competitors from across Canada and the U.S. Saturday’s races were skate sprints with the following results: • Junior Male 1.4 km— Kurt Behnsen, 28th • Junior Boys 1.4 km— David Palmer, seventh • Junior Girls 1 km— Emily Ertel, seventh, Alex Myshak-Davis 20th, and Desirae Martin 37th. Sunday’s skate races were held in very difficult conditions with 20cm of snow overnight resulting in very soft tracks. Emily Ertel, David Palmer and Gareth Williams each skied up an age group to race against more experienced skiers. • Open Men 15 km—Jeff Kerkovius ninth in junior male 1, David Palmer 14th in junior male 1, and Kurt Behnsen 21st in junior male 1 • Open Women 10 km— Emily Ertel 17th in junior female 1 • Junior Boy 5 km— Gareth Williams 17th in juvenile boy 1 • Junior Girls 5 km—Alex Myshak-Davis 7th in juvenile girl 2, and Desirate Martin 2nd in junior girl 2.

the third fastest qualifying time to advance into the head-to-head heats with the round of 30. Fighting her way into the finals, the seven-year veteran of the National Ski Team lined up against five Americans, and took them down in the finishing stretch to claim the gold medal. “I felt good today and I didn’t really stomp it until the very last stretch. When I looked back nobody was with me so I’m pretty happy,” said Jones, who has stayed back in Canada to compete domestically and regain her confidence early this season after a challenging Olympic year in 2010. “I think my preparation heading

The fastest qualifier heading into the heats, the Olympian took control in the head-to-head showdown, winning each of his heats en route to skiing onto the top step of the podium. “It was a great day and a great way to kick off the NorAm season in Canada,” said Goldsack. “I have been feeling a lot better this year after a full year of training under my belt, and it is really nice to have some success early in the season.” Local racer Kate Eppler also loved the conditions. She was 13th in the junior/juvenile class out of 40 on Saturday and eighth Sunday. “By the time I race, it was a bit snowy out there, so the corners were a bit hard because there was lots of powder and on the edges you sunk right in,” said Eppler. “It was a hard day but good.”
The Kelowna Owls senior boys basketball squad improved to 2-0 in Okanagan league play and 8-1 overall with a pair of convincing wins this week on their home court. The Owls—ranked No. 5-provinciallly at the AAA level—won their home opener Tuesday 123-45 over Salmon Arm. A smothering defence enabled the Owls to begin the game with a 22-0 run and a 66-18 lead at the half. The visiting Golds, playing without two starters, had no answers for the speed of the Owls in the second half as the lead was extended to 10126 after the third. Every player on the Owls roster scored and a balanced attack was led by seniors Deboe Truss who had 23 and Charlie Lewthwaite with 17. Grade 11 players Dejo Oyelese had 15, Mitch

Goodwin, 14, and Braxston Bunce had 12 points, as did senior Dylan Hollemeyer. The Owls boarded well as a team resulting in 54 rebounds. On Wednesday, playing their ninth game over the past 13 days, the Owls looked a bit sluggish at times but had more than enough fire power to defeat Penticton 94-51. Dejo Oyelese had his best outing of the season with 21 points and was 9-for-11 shooting, while Truss continued his fine play with 17 points. Goodwin had 16 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, while senior Tanner Leimert chipped in with 11 points. The Owls again rebounded well as a team with 57 boards. Kelowna now has a few days to prepare for the upcoming Bothwell Christmas Classic tournament in Washington on Dec. 21 to 23.

Time of year when best movies surface I t is a great time of year for movie buffs. Not only are there eight new releases over the next week, but the Golden Globe nominations were announced earlier this week. Opening tonight, The Fighter received six nominations: Best Picture (Drama), Best Director (David O. Russell), Best Dramatic Actor (Mark Wahlberg), Best Supporting Actor (Christian Bale) and two for Best Supporting Actress (Amy Adams and Melissa Leo). It is the life story of boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward and his trainer brother Dick Eklund, chronicling the brothers’ early days on the rough streets of Lowell, Massachusetts; through Eklulnd’s battle with drugs and Ward’s eventual world championship in London (It’s at Orchard Plaza 5 in Kelowna and Capitol Theatre in West Kelowna).
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis Also opening tonight is Black Swan, nominated for four Golden Globes: Best Dramatic Picture, Best Dramatic Actress (Natalie Portman), Best Supporting Actress (Mila Kunis) and Best Director (Darren Aronofsky). Portman plays a New York City ballet dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival (Paramount Theatre, Kelowna). Not nominated for Golden Globes, but opening tonight are Tron: Legacy 3D, Yogi Bear 3D and How Do You Know. Tron: Legacy is set
Check your charity Volunteer from A26 (CRA) to ensure the organization is a registered charity and can legally issue tax receipts. Learn about the charity through brochures, program impact information, annual reports, talking with staff and volunteering. How can you find out about charity fundraising expenses? Charities must file an annual Registered Charity Information Return with the CRA that you may review. In 2009, the CRA released fundraising guidance for charities. The higher the ratio of fundraising costs (over 35 per cent), the more likely the CRA will review that charity’s fundraising activities. What are reasonable fundraising costs? Look at a three to five year average of fundraising costs. Consider the nature of the cause, size of
organization, use of volunteers, types of funds raised, types of fundraising methods, and use of outside fundraisers. Remember there is a cost to doing good and most charities depend on fundraising in order to serve their communities. Most charities work diligently to keep their costs as low as possible. Why do charities spend money on administrative or overhead costs? There is a cost to doing business, including rent, computers, accounting systems, salaries and good governance. Transparency, accountability, results and impact cost money. Studies have shown that lower administrative costs can limit the effectiveness of charities. Lower costs are not necessarily better.

AWARDS season: Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale in The Fighter (clockwise from top); Colin Firth in The King’s Speech and Natalie Portman in Black Swan. 25 years after the original about a tech-savvy young man who finds himself pulled into the dangerous digital world where his father has been trapped (Orchard Plaza 5 and Capitol Theatre). Yogi Bear is voiced by Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake is the voice of Boo-Boo in the mostly live-action adaptation of the classic cartoon. Word is that it is great for kids while being entertaining for adults (Grand 10 Cinemas, Kelowna). And How Do You Know stars Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd
and Jack Nicholson in a relationship comedy from the great James L. Brooks (As Good as It Gets, Terms of Endearment) (Grand 10). There are three movies opening next Wednesday, and one of them was the big winner at the Golden Globe nominations. The King’s Speech received seven including Best Picture (Drama), Best Dramatic Actor (Colin Firth), Best Supporting Actor (Geoffrey Rush), Best Supporting Actress (Helena Bonham Carter), Best Director (Tom Hooper) and Best Screen-
play. It is the story of King George VI who reluctantly takes the throne when his brother Edward abdicates in 1936 (Paramount Theatre). Also opening Wednesday is the Coen Brothers’ True Grit, described as not so much a remake of the classic John Wayne western but rather another adaptation of the Charles Portis novel. Starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin, it surprisingly received no Golden Globe nominations, but it is still receiving good buzz for Academy Awards (Paramount and Grand 10). And finally there’s Little Fockers, reuniting stars Robert DeNiro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo, Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand (Grand 10 and Capitol).

A
MP’S REPORT
s we head into the final days of the fall session of Parliament, I’d like to alert you to some good news items.
The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) have signed a
memorandum of understanding to make Canada more prosperous by supporting the growth and competitiveness of Canadian businesses in world

ON BEHALF OF A&W: “Thank you so much everyone for your support. Special thanks to the Kelowna Fire Fighters, sponsors, and all volunteers that helped make this event an unprecedented success.” “On behalf of all afflicted with and affected by Cystic Fibrosis, I would like to thank our local A&W restaurants for their huge support in helping Canadians with Cystic Fibrosis breathe more easily.” – Jody Birnie Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

markets. The announcement directly and positively affects the Kelowna BDC office, extending for five years the BDC’s working relationship with DFAIT to help our local agriculture, industrial and technology sectors find new market opportunities abroad. The memorandum of understanding will facilitate the sharing of information about global markets and enable BDC and DFAIT to collaborate more closely on joint marketing initiatives. BDC clients will benefit with targeted information about leads and international opportunities and will receive more personalized assistance with their overseas business planning and operations. If you are interested in obtaining more information you can e-mail trade commissioner Harvey Ribalkin at harvey. ribalkin@international. gc.ca. It’s good news and just one more way the government is working to help local businesses succeed. Whether its infrastructure, skills training, housing, arts and culture or our very own passport office, our riding has worked closely with the federal government to obtain some important funding. With a great track record of cooperation between all three levels of government, our business and education sectors, our entrepreneurs and our support and volunteer agencies, we have a recipe for ongoing success and growth. More importantly, it’s evidence that our community is hard at work, staying optimistic and keeping the local economy on track. I encourage you to go to www.cannan.ca to look at the Year in Review and see for yourself. ••• On another note: More good news was announcement this week about funding for Project Literacy Kelowna and its Esteem program which created a bit of controversy when it was learned that Project Literacy Kelowna is barely keeping its head above water. While the funding
Ron Cannan was good news for the Esteem program, which helps young people gain the skills they need to move into the job market, a shortfall in provincial funding has put the organization’s adult literacy programs in jeopardy. Non-profit organizations like Project Literacy Kelowna provide valuable services to our community but must rely on several different sources for funding, including the United Way and private sector support. While the federal government will continue to offer support through program funding, we need to rally as a community to help fill the void left by the shortfall. Anyone considering a fundraiser might think of sponsoring Project Literacy Kelowna. It’s the kind of organization we need here in our community and I encourage anyone who thinks they can help out to do so. Please contact me. I’d love to help you. ••• This is the last column I’ll be posting before the holidays. I’ll be available to meet with constituents next week and in January. No doubt I’ll see many of you around the riding before we all take some time for Christmas. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you feel there is anything I can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you in the New Year to continue to make our communities all that they can be. As always, thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas and the best in 2011. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country. 250-470-5075. ron@cannan.ca

Author to speak about terrorism and Islamophobia Drawing from his most recent book, A Foreigner Carrying In The tCrook of His Arm a Tiny Bomb, author and Vassar College English professor Amitava Kumar will be in Kelowna Jan. 13 to speak
about 9/11 and its aftermath, the art and literature of terror, and war and Islamophobia. Kumar argues that the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and then the global war on terror have ushered a new,
more precarious present, and a part of this contemporary scene is a world divided as much by radical Islam as it is by Islamophobia. “How are we—living in the West, separated
from, but also bound intimately with, the East—to hope for a better future?” he asks. The presentation is the next event in UBC’s Distinguished Speaker Series, sponsored by the Ir-
ving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. It will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 13, at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, 421 Cawston Ave. Kumar’s talk will be followed by a book-sign-
ing and refreshments. Admission is free but pre-registration is required online at www. ubc.ca/okanagan/speakers due to limited seating in the RCA’s Mary Irwin Theatre.

Acura MDX delivers performance, comfort, content Neil Moore CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
It was on the way home during this season’s first snowstorm that I realized why Acura sells so many of its MDX crossovers. With the usual collection of peabrains and knuckleheads sliding around corners and spinning through intersections, I actually felt confident. Which in these kinds of conditions, with my wife beside me and two small children sleeping peacefully in back, meant more to me than any promise of world-class

But for me and like any owner who has done his or her homework, it was comforting to know that a world-class allwheel-drive system, along with a bevy of safety and handling technologies, was working behind the scenes to help keep us from joining the guy who had spun out in the centre median.

offers useable seating for two children, or small adults in a pinch. Canadian-built MDX is currently Acura’s top selling vehicle in this country, with 5,544 units moved as of November 30 this year. Aside from its proven SH-AWD and other systems, this SUV is priced right among the competition. At $52,690 for the base model, you get one heck of a list of standard content. This includes 18inch alloy wheels; heated side mirrors with reverse gear tilt-down; headlight washers; power moonroof; power tailgate; power tilt and telescopic steering column; rearview mirror camera; steering wheel mounted controls for cruise, audio and Bluetooth phone; multiinformation display; remote-linked two-position memory system for driver’s seat, steering column, side mirrors and climate control; tri-zone climate control; 253-watt, eightspeaker AM/FM/XM/ MP3/WMA audio system with six-disc CD changer and speed sensitive volume compensation; leather-trimmed interior; eightway power front seats; 60/40 split folding secondrow seat (which can re-
cline and is heated in the outboard positions); 50/50 third-row and more. The 2011 MDX is only a few hundred bucks more than the Volvo XC90, a little less than the base Audi Q7 and thousands less than the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, BMW X5 and Lexus GX 460. Some of these competitors, like the Q7, X5 and GX 460 offer optional or standard third-row seating, as does the MDX. But in my mind, they would do well to forgo this feature—which is typically hard to access and only suits children or very short adults—and use it instead for added cargo capacity. Still, in this area, the 2011 Acura MDX bests much of the competition at 2,225 litres (with both rows of seats folded), compared with the VW Touareg at 1,600 litres, the X5 at 1750 litres and the GX 460 at 1,800 litres. Mercedes, Audi and Volvo have a slight edge, but not by much. The third row drops flat and the second row nearly flat, with some additional storage under a rear panel. There are also See MDX B3

MDX from B2 four tie downs in back and a 12-volt power point. Room up front is commodious and the plush, wide seats offer good bolstering in the backrest. The second-row seats are also well cushioned, with plenty of room to stretch your legs. These can also recline and the heating and climate controls make sitting in the rear anything but a hardship. Overall, instruments and controls are clean and simple and within easy reach. Some of this simplicity is due to my press vehicle being a base model, but even so, the MDX is a refreshing change from those festooned with more buttons, knobs and switches than a Learjet. If you do want more technology, the MDX can be optioned up with two additional trim levels. The Technology package, at $57,990, gives you a navigation system with voice recognition and multi-view rear camera; rear entertainment system (with power folding 9-inch screen and dual headphones); twireless 410-watt, 10-speaker (with subwoofer) Acura/ ELS Surround premium sound system with DVDaudio, AM/FM/XM/ MP3/WMA tuner, DTS,

a surprisingly nimble vehicle and an able handler. Like all SUVs, it has a relatively high centre of gravity, but it corners with minimal lean. Some of the changes in 2010 were a stiffer rear trailing arm mounting, along with body rigidity improvements and reduced overall NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). These all contribute to ride, handling and comfort that is more like a sedan than a large SUV. And with 300 hp and

Active damping provides settings for ‘comfort’ and ‘sport’ that tailor the suspension for either a more forgiving or sportier ride. The exterior of the MDX is, overall, clean and upscale, with the only question mark being Acura’s love-it-or-leave-it signature grille. This was part of a refresh in 2010 that brought with it a new front fascia, updated hood, new side sills, revised taillights and a new rear fascia with pol-
ished stainless-steel exhaust finishers. But even more significantly, aside from a revised 3.7-litre V6 VTEC engine, this model update also brought some mechanical upgrades like a new sequential SportShift six-speed automatic transmission with multiclutch torque converter, replacing the five-speed autobox. Prior to the big snowstorm, I had several days of good weather and ample opportunity to test the MDX’s dry-weather driving dynamics. The MDX is, despite its bulk,

Canadian-built Toyota Corolla delivers on 40-year legacy For 40 years the Corolla has been one of the cornerstones on which the reputation of Toyota was built in North American. And for 2011, the Corolla remains a cornerstone of the Canadian economy with the announcement Corolla will continue to be built in Cambridge, Ont., for all of North America. Not only are all Corollas made in Canada sold in Canada, but Cambridge builds most of those sold in the U.S. in addition to some shipped from Japan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every Corolla sold in Canada is built in Canada; with 80 per cent of all Corollas sold here over the last 20 years still on the road today, the quality and reliability of this model speaks for itself,â&#x20AC;? said Warren Orton, director at Toyota Canada Inc. The 2011 Corolla was revealed to Canadian automotive journalists recently in Ottawa. The highlight is the adoption of the Toyota Star Safety System on all 2011 Toyotas including Corolla. The Star Safety Sys-
tem includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) enhancements and Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Smart Stop Technology. Smart Stop Technology operates only in the event of certain simultaneous brake and gas pedal applications. When engaged, the system will reduce engine power to help the brakes bring the vehicle to a stop. As shown in Ottawa, all Corollas feature a fresh look with redesigned headlamps, tail lamps, front grille, front and rear bumpers and trunk lid. The Corolla S and Corolla XRS are equipped with a redesigned flat-bottom steering wheel, an upgraded audio system with a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), integrated XM satellite radio, USB audio input and Bluetooth capability, a new combination meter design and gauges enhanced with chrome rings.

car segment,” said Marc Comeau, vice president, Chevrolet Canada. “The new car is roomy, stylish and fun to drive, and we felt that the Sonic name conveys the youth and energy that this vehicle is all about.” The Sonic small car is the next important step forward reflecting Chevrolet’s commitment to deliver a range of smaller, fuel-efficient and fun to drive cars that are ideally suited to the Canadian market and particularly at home within urban environments. The vehicle will continue to be called Aveo in other parts of the world, where it will be sold in more than 50 countries.
Ward’s Automotive has announced that Nissan Leaf’s 100-per cent electric, zero-emission drive system is included on its prestigious 10 Best Engines list for 2011. It is the first time in the 17-year history of the magazine’s 10 Best Engines that the selection committee has chosen a power system which doesn’t have an engine and will never burn a drop of gasoline. For 2011, 38 competitors were considered, marking the largest group in the history of the award. The competition included both naturally aspirated and forced induction internal combustion engines, diesels, hybrid electrics and the allelectric Nissan LEAF. The editors evaluated the vehicles based on horsepower and torque; noise, vibration and harshness; the engine’s technical attributes; and their relevance among direct rivals. The all-new Nissan LEAF features a high-response 80kW AC synchronous motor powered by a 24 kWh lithiumion battery manufactured at the Automotive Energy Supply Corporation (AESC) operation in Zama, Japan, which is a joint venture of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and NEC Corporation. Nissan developed both motor and inverter and the power system generates 107 horsepower and 207 lb/ft of torque. —Carguide Magazine

CHAPLIN, HARRY WILLIAM
One of Kelowna’s pioneer sons, passed away peacefully early on December 14, 2010. Born in Kelowna on February 10, 1915, the youngest son of Harry Valentine Chaplin and Ethel Mercy (Raymer) Chaplin, the eldest daughter of Harry Raymer, Kelowna’s first Mayor, Harry grew up on the family farm and orchard currently known as Trader’s Cove. No phones or electricity at that time, but if a flag was put up on the family wharf, the S.S. Sicamous or other lake travelling vessels would stop to pick up or deliver mail, supplies, or visitors. Harry loved the lake and animals, especially family dogs and pigs, defending the latter as “the cleanest animals if they were given the opportunity to be clean.” He had to start school early at the age of four so that there were enough children to keep the school on the hill above Bear Creek open. Later schooling took place in town at the brick schoolhouses built by his grandfather, and later attended by two of his daughters for elementary schooling. While living in town to attend school, Harry had great times with teenage friends, and enjoyed telling tales of travelling window to window to visit girlfriends on the outside of the brick buildings opposite City Park along with friend Jim Brown. They would often spend Saturday nights running Kelowna’s early radio station, owned by the Brown family. When not living in town to go to school, Harry worked on the family farm. Stories include trips all the way up to Bald Range in bare feet to collect livestock, rowing all the way to town, and in high water days, rowing up St. Paul Street and up to where First United Church now stands. Harry volunteered to serve in WW II, trained across Canada, was posted at the Pacific and the Atlantic shores as well as at Niagara Falls. In training in Saskatoon in 1942, he met Elizabeth (Betty) Maude Froste, and after courting for two months, when they learned on October 15 that he was to be posted overseas on October 19, they married on the 17th. Overseas, with the 23rd Manitoba Dragoons, with the rank of Lieutenant Harry commanded an armoured car company on postings in the European Theatre for three and a half years. He rarely talked about his war experiences, but had the honour of being “mentioned in dispatches,” receiving medals which he never displayed until this last year in Brookhaven, where our veterans are encouraged to allow themselves to be honoured. His daughters remember, throughout their growing up years, many visits from fellow officers and army buddies bringing their families to meet “the man who saved our lives so many times.” Harry completed his Major’s papers, but when the opportunity suddenly came up to be on the first ship home, he left military life, although remaining in The Reserves for many years. As Harry’s father had passed away, when Harry returned home he took over running the farm, but a fire in 1952 destroyed the orchard and Harry moved his young family into town to support them. The majority of his adult years he worked for S.M Simpson’s Limited, first as a timber cruiser and finally as Timber Records Supervisor for the company, then owned by Crown Zellerbach. He was an outdoorsman, enjoying fishing and hunting and family camping trips. Harry had to retire early to care for his wife. Betty was stricken and diagnosed with what later was known to be Alzheimer’s Disease. Although he was told by the neurologist to “put her in a home and forget her,”Harry cared for her at home for several years, well beyond the time when one person could do it all. Starting in 1981, he was a founding Director of The Interior Alzheimer Foundation, and often provided postage out of his own pocket for the fledgling family support newsletter. Harry was an avid reader, a life-long learner who encouraged education. He loved nature, and living by the lake, first on the family homesite, then spending summers on his Peachland lakeshore before settling on south Abbott in later years to enjoy the lake again. In 2000 he moved back to his roots of pine-forested hills in his home on a daughter’s Bear Creek property, before spending his last nine months at Brookhaven care home in West Kelowna. Harry was pre-deceased by his wife, Betty, his brothers Maurice, Kim, and Phillip, and his sister, Marjorie (Ollerich), with whom he had a lifelong close relationship. He is survived by his daughters Blanche Nishi, (Doug), Marjorie Beales, (John), and Mary Thompson, (Bruce), six grandchildren: Johnny, (Joanie), Meredith, David, (Karen), and Graham Beales, and Laura Martini, (Ryan), and Scott Thompson, many cousins, nieces, and nephews. A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, December 21, 2010, at 2:00p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church, Lakeshore Road, Kelowna. A warm thank you from Harry’s family to Brookhaven’s caregivers who showed him such respect and affection in the last months of his life. Arrangements in care of Springfield Funeral Home, www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077, with a thank you for their many years of support for The Interior Alzheimer Society.
