Mayoralty frontrunners square off Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The two front runners in the race to be mayor of Kelowna for the next three years, incumbent Sharon Shepherd and challenger Walter Gray, have kicked off their respective campaigns. Gray started his with a shot at the current council over its perceived inability to make decisions, while Shepherd chose to focus on her council’s record over the last three years. “It is inexcusable not to make a decision,” Gray told his supporters last Thursday evening during the opening of his campaign office on Bernard Avenue. His comment, that the current council spends too much time talking and not enough acting, is gaining traction within the business community. And, he added, if he is Walter Gray elected mayor he is prepared to “force” decisionmaking by his council. But if the verbal jab hurt Shepherd, she was not showing it the next night when she opened her downtown campaign office on Pandosy Street. Asked about the perception of her council as indecisive, she shrugged it off saying as mayor she make decisions every day. Sharon Shepherd Instead, she chose to focus on what she said her council has achieved in the last three years, including attracting millions of dollars in stimulus spending to complete city transportation and other infrastructure projSee Mayoralty A4

MAKING THE GRADE…

The $1.5 million project is funded under the Canada-B.C. Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, cost shared between the federal and provincial governments and the City of Kelowna. The new pathway will include bus stop pullouts and transit shelters.

Kerry Park ‘occupied’ by protest movement Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s own version of the Occupy Wall Street movement, which began in New York Sept. 17, brought locals to Kerry Park in droves Saturday. Area residents flood-

ed into the downtown core throughout the day to share their frustration with inequality, the disparity of wealth and power and a variety of other issues on a local and international scale. Darin Howard was one of the first speakers to

address the early morning crowd at Occupy Kelowna. Part of his speech included sharing excerpts from the Declaration of the Occupation of New York City. “They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failure their

policies have produced and continue to produce; they continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil; they purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media,” were three of the 21 state-

ments Howard read from the declaration, speaking about the corporate elite. “Power to the people” were the words Howard shared before stepping off the stage. With this, he See Movement A8

City has DKA backing on Bernard construction schedule Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna city council adopted the option for implementing the upgrade of Bernard Avenue in three, three month stretches Monday, with the support of the Downtown Kelowna Association. DKA executive director Peggy Athans, in a letter to the city’s general manager of community sustainability, said the plan that favoured construction during the fall of 2012, the spring of 2013 and the fall of 2013, was the most appropriate of the four options recently presented to area merchants, property owners and the general public at a recent city open house. “The DKA board of director’s decision to support construction op-

tion one was made after weighing the pros and cons of all four options,” said Athans in her letter to Jim Paterson. “The board believes that construction option one best represents the interests of (all) downtown Kelowna stakeholders due to the fact that it is the least expensive, has the least amount of risk, yet still has minimal impact in the pivotal summer business months.” Athans added that, of the remaining choices, option three (a ninemonth work schedule from September 2012 to June 2013) was strongly considered due to its least impact on Bernard Avenue merchants but felt the added cost for the broader downtown area could create further risk and delay the project. The city estimates that winter

work option would add $6.7 million to the $14 million cost of the project if cover winter work and night work are included. But at the open house, some of those who attended expressed doubt about that figure. Also at the open house, Mosaic Book’s owner Michael Neil presented a petition with 100 names on it calling on the city to adopt the winter work schedule. But following the open house, city officials said they felt the greatest support from those who attended was for its “preferred” option, the one the DKA now supports. The two other options presented by the city at the open house included a one nine-moth summer work schedule in 2013 and one that would see the work done in four, three-months

blocks, spring and fall 2012 and spring and fall 2013. That plan, however, has been taken off the table because the city says it could not be ready in time given it has yet to even start detailed design work. In her letter to Paterson, Athans said the primary concern expressed by DKA members was the length of the construction period and the impact construction will have on their businesses. “For this reason, the DKA would request that every effort is made to continue the first phase through the winter months if weather permits and that incentives/penalties are put into effect to encourage the construction company to complete this project as quickly as possible.” Council at Monday’s meeting dis-

cussed the possibility of giving free parking downtown to help off-set the impact of Bernard’s road construction, but made no final decisions. The revitalization project is aimed at improving the utilities and services below Bernard Avenue, as well as rebuilding the street above ground, including widening the sidewalks and beautifying the streetscape between Richter Street and the Abbott Street. Merchants on Bernard Avenue have agreed to pay for 25 per cent of the cost of the beautification work. That amount is expected to be about 10 per cent of the total cost of the project. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna voters will be faced with a record number of names on the ballot when they go the polls in the civic election Nov. 19.. When the nomination period closed on Friday, 41 candidates had filed nomination papers to run for the eight available councillor seats in the city and another seven, including incumbent Sharon Shepherd, had filed papers to run for mayor. The 41 candidates for councillor eclipses the previous record of 36 set three years ago. Shepherd will be challenged by former mayor Walter Gray, two-time mayoral candidate Kim Ouellette, Cal Condy, Charles Hardy, Diana Van Beest and Ken Chung. Chung, who originally filed nomination papers for a councillor seat, withdrew them and refiled for mayor prior to the nomination deadline. In the councillor race, the eight incumbents will be challenged by a large

field, including some wellknown local names. Former fire Kelowna chief Gerry Zimmermann is seeking a seat, as are former CHBC reporters Mohini Singh and Colin Basran, Capital News business columnist Maxine DeHart is in the running, as is former councillor and provincial cabinet minister Carol Gran. Two former Central Okanagan Board of Education trustees, Gail Given, widow the late city councillor Brian Given, and Gail Scanlan are also seeking councillor seats. And the man who coordinated the local collection of thousands of signatures for the petition that forced the vote that scrapped the HST, Daniel Thorburn, also is seeking a seat at the council table. In other civic races in the Central Okanagan, incumbent West Kelowna mayor Doug Findlater will square off with the woman who preceded him in the mayor’s chair, Rosalind Neis. Neis sat as a West Kelowna councillor for the

last three years. In the West Kelowna council race, 13 candidates, including five of the six incumbents are running. In Lake Country, incumbent mayor James Baker is being challenged by incumbent Oyama councillor Noreen Guenther, as well as Jason McCarthy and Bill Clarke. In the four Lake Country wards there will be races as multiple candidates are vying for election as the Oyama, Carr’s Landing, Winfield and Okanagan Centre representatives on council. In Peachland, Mayor Keith Fielding is being challenged by Lee Sawchuck and 11 canadidates are vying for the six councillor positions. A familiar name from the past has re-emerged to challenge for the Central Okanagan West regional director’s position. Former Westside CORD director Aaron Dinwoodie is challenging incumbent Jim Edgson, while on the other side of the lake, the Central Okangan East dir-

ector’s seat will be a race between another former CORD regional director, Parry Hansen, and John Collison. Incumbent area director Kelly Hayes is not seeking re-election. In the school district trustee races, Deb Butler appears to be the only local candidate who will be acclaimed in this election, as she is running unchallenged for the Lake Country trustee position. Following a change to the boundaries for trustees on the Westside, incumbent Moyra Baxter will be challenged by three others for the Peachland/Westside seat and four newcomers will attempt to succeed Jeff Watson, who is not running, in the West Kelowna trustee race.

‘Nothing gets done’ criticism of city hall draws disagreement Mayoralty from A1 ects. There have also been partnerships with the provincial and federal government to get money for social housing projects here, a new official community plan for the city, a sharper environmental focus and roads and sewer projects. Despite the public perception, Shepherd added, several developments were approved in a sagging provincial economy that has not spared Kelowna.

“I get disappointed when I hear nothing gets done here,” said Shepherd, a former city councillor who served on Gray’s three councils and then handily defeated him in the 2005 mayoral election. Gray, who also pointed to booming development here during the years he was mayor, said he tried unsuccessfully for a year to find someone who shared his belief that change is needed at City Hall and to challenge

Shepherd, but he was unsuccessful. So that’s why he decided to jump back into municipal politics after a six-year absence. “I want to make this a place for families, not a place where they have to leave,” said Gray, a grandfather of 12. Saying he knows what it takes to do the job and pointing to the success of the councils he led in the past, Gray said a long-tern vision for the city is required.

“I’m talking about a longer term—more than just three years.” Gray, who feels the city’s rapport with Victoria and Ottawa has diminished in recent years, said he wants to “re-establish” relationships with the provincial and federal governments because that is how Kelowna will get things done. And, in reference to his previous failure to fend off Shepherd’s challenge in 2005, Gray appealed to his supporters to

help him. “I do need your help. We can’t do it alone. We tried that the last time and it failed,” he said. In that election, Shepherd, a popular councillor at the time, beat Gray by more the 2,200 votes in an election where 31 per cent of the electorate turned out to cast ballots. Shepherd also appealed to her supporters for help. “There is a long list of things I feel very good about,” she said, listing the large amount of infrastructure work undertaken by the city in the last three years. Among those achievements are park improvements, management of both city finances and operations, the low-

est business tax rate of any city over 70,000 in B.C. and what she called an “excellent” agricultural tax rate as well improvements to transit and a declining crime rate. As for development, Shepherd said she believes the city should have policies in place for development that fit the needs of the city. On the controversial issue of the proposed downtown development plan known as CD-21, she remained unapologetic for its failure to find support by a majority on council. “I am a listener to the community,” she said, adding she voted against the plan from the start and believes a majority of the

pubic were not in favour. Still, she wants to see downtown revitalized and said she will continue to push for that. Gray, on the other hand, sees council as “unbalanced” when it comes to being in favour of development and the sees the election as being about leadership. “We are desperately in need of leadership and we must move forward,” he said. In addition to Shepherd and Gray, Cal Condy, Diana Van Beest, Ken Chung, Charles Hardy and Kim Ouellette have all announced they too will seek the mayor’s chair Nov. 19. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Two-car crash on Hwy 97 Traffic was backed on Highway 97 for hours Monday morning after a two-vehicle collision on Drought Hill, just north of Peachland. Police say at 7:25 a.m., the driver of a white Saturn travelling southbound on Highway 97 alleges an oncoming northbound truck crossed the centre line. The Saturn driver took

evasive action and veered toward the shoulder of the road. In doing so, he lost control and came back across the centre line striking a northbound Plymouth Breeze. Both drivers were injured and transported to Kelowna General Hospital for medical treatment. The female driving the 1996 Plymouth Breeze was extracted from the ve-

hicle by Peachland Fire and Rescue. She is 38 years old and from Keremeos. The male driver of the 2007 Saturn is 47 years old and from Kamloops. The collision is still under investigation. Anyone who witnessed the collision or the events leading up to it is asked to call West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880.

Separating from the pack

elowna municipal voters will face a significant challenge when they visit the ballot box on Nov. 19. With 41 council candidates and seven people running for mayor, who do you figure out to vote for? Or do you just not bother? City Hall is hoping the latter will not happen, having done everything short of voting online to make it easier and accessible for local residents to vote.

Now it’s up to the candidates to make those efforts pay off. All those who have put their names up for nomination, some have a public profile that will give them recognition, some are incumbents and many have no public profile beyond their friends, family and people they associate with in their lives. The task ahead of all of them, particularly the unknown group, is to become known over the next five weeks. All-candidates meetings will be difficult to make a great im-

pression because of the sheer number of people. While the Capital News will endeavour in the weeks ahead to put a public profile to all these candidates, but getting noticed at public meetings will be difficult. Social media is another option. How the candidates take advantage of that and are able to translate from Internet to voting booth support will be interesting to see. Door knocking, and generally pressing the flesh, may sound

a bit old-fashioned, but those tactics still may ultimately be the best campaign tool for all the civic candidates, known or unknown. It’s going to be a fascinating few weeks as the vision for the city’s immediate future will be debated. While the Shepherd vs. Gray mayoralty battle will garner much media attention, voters should remember the mayor only carries one vote, so those other eight councillors we elect will be equally important to the decision-making process.

Digital age is changing how employers find employees

t isn’t easy applying for jobs outside of Canada unless you are highly specialized in your field. Many countries, especially the United States, have rules regarding companies who hire non-citizens, especially in periods of high national unemployment. But these safeguards are changing rapidly and we all know there are multinational companies out there who shop around for the cheapest labour pool they can find.

They can easily move where the workers are. That is why the North American manufacturing sector has seen jobs disappear as plants moved out of Jane Canada and the U.S. to Muskens countries such as China, India and Taiwan. But what about other types of workers? How well protected are they from the same thing happening to them? Today, through the Internet, you can sell your labour online. ODesk is a website which gives freelance workers a place to promote their work

SCHOOL’S IN

skills, education and other things that employers might need for short-term work. It is technically a site which outsources labour, where employers can connect and hire workers when they need them instead of having to hire someone on a regular full-or part-time basis. What is unique about this site as that it moves employees beyond borders where essentially the labour market exists in cyberspace. Employers pick and choose workers based on wage/cost instead of having to select their employees from a pool of local workers. These sites impact white-col-

lar work because computers and the web allow work such as computer programming, copywriting (including translation), and some basic office functions to be done just about anywhere in the world—if the worker has the right skills. For example, a young adult in India can now offer editing and copywriting services online to a global market. This person is probably able to charge $8 per hour which might be considered a fair wage based on their living costs (such as housing, food and transportation). The same young person living in Canada would have to charge significantly more for the same work be-

cause they can’t afford to work for $8 an hour. Any employer looking to hire such workers under a tight budget may outsource this labour to India. Some will argue that this will take work away from Canadian workers, but that holds true only if you believe that there is a finite amount of work out there. It doesn’t take into account how this outsourcing will lead Canadian workers to re-educate and move into different labour markets to find employment and meet the needs of Canadian employers who are facing labour shortages.

WALMART CORRECTION NOTICE

W HOMEOPATHY

Don’t dismiss alternatives To the editor: Philosophers Zena and Dan Ryder requested a response from local homeopathic practitioners to their letter which argued that homeopathy claims for preventing catching the flu are not backed up by research. I am happy to do so. For over 200 years, since the start of homeopathic medicine, it has had to defend itself against the prevailing medical community. The American Medical Association was founded in the mid-1800s in part to fight against homeopaths and homeopathic hospitals that were prevalent at the time.( The Ryders quote a study from the Lancet in 2005 which has since been accused of bias in its selection of studies and conclusions.

A later review of that study in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 2008(2), stated that “Homeopathy had a significant effect beyond placebo” and that the “negative results were mainly influenced by one single trial.” A long list of positive clinical trials for homeopathy can be found online and I refer you to Robert Medhurst’s excellent article at hpathy.com/homeopathy-papers/in-defenseof-homeopathy. The difficulty that some people have with homeopathic medicine is that no discernible compounds from the original substance may be present in the homeopathic remedy. Somehow, an energetic imprint is carried on the solvent (water and alcohol) that has a therapeutic effect. We have much to

learn about how homeopathy works but we cannot deny its benefits. In the 1918 flu pandemic, the mortality rate for 24,000 individuals treated in conventional hospitals was 28.2 per cent whereas the mortality rate for 26,000 treated in homeopathic hospitals was 1.0 5per cent For several years in my practice, I have used a homeopathic flu prevention protocol with good results. Homeopathic Thymuline stimulates the immune system via the thymus gland and Influenzinum acts like a homeopathic vaccination of the flu. Many families are now using this protocol to reduce illness in their households. With over 2,000 homeopathic remedies to

choose from, selecting the exact match for a patient can sometimes be a challenge. However, when the correct remedy is found it can seem miraculous. After a single homeopathic dose, I have seen a threeyear-old covered in eczema completely healed; a young boy with FAS freed of nightmares and stomach cramps; a young woman traumatized by a car accident able to sleep and drive again; and a depressed woman able to cheerfully return to the workforce. Medicine like this should not be dismissed, but further studied and made available to those who choose to use it. Janice Potter, Kelowna

Median fake grass has some merits To the editor: Re: “Green plastic lawns can’t trump real plants in Kelowna” (Oct. 14, Capital News). Columnist Judie Steeves raises some good points, but seems to have misunderstood the intent of the recent trial application of artificial turf on a road median near Bernard Avenue and Gordon Drive. This median was built many years ago and although it was planted with trees at one time, most of the trees have died and the median had become quite unsightly, leading to many complaints. Thanks to a donation of labour and materials from a local synthetic turf company, this product was installed at no cost.

If it works well, then the trial might be extended to other challenging medians in the city. Similar installations in Windsor, Ont., and other cities have found this technology to be promising. I fully agree with the author’s statement that artificial lawns can’t replace the many benefits of living plants, and only limited applications of this product are being considered. Xeriscape plantings have been very successful in some median locations such as Clement Avenue. However, in other locations the planting strip is too narrow and there are serious safety and traffic issues associated with workers maintaining the site.

For example, on Highway 97 provincial regulations require medians to be maintained at night with lane closures which significantly increases the cost. Although care is taken to avoid weed growth when installing plant materials, these are very windy sites and inevitably they are invaded with weed seeds within a few years. Plantings also tend to catch garbage which must be removed regularly. They are also extremely challenging sites for any plants to grow, particularly where vehicle speeds are higher. Road salts and sand build up in the soil to toxic levels and watering is necessary to help flush toxins from the soil.

Better option to fake grass To the editor: I have heard that the City of Kelowna is trying out artificial turf on a traffic median because plants have had a problem growing there. Apparently, the city believes the artificial turn will last eight to 10 years and it will significantly cut down maintenance and watering costs. The costs to put down the artificial turf, however, is $10,000. I just finished a diploma in horticulture at Olds College, and I feel I have a much better alternative to this artificial turf. I reside in Vancouver now and when I see medians being constructed, I can absolutely understand why nothing survives. Asphalt is layed down first, then the rebar for the concrete form, and two inches of top soil is put on top of the concrete.

It’s no wonder nothing can grow. No irrigation is installed, and no thought of depth of soil is put into the construction of these medians. The roots of turf, trees and shrubs go down much deeper than two inches. And while $10,000 of taxpayers’ money doesn’t seem like that much, if turf is put down correctly, irrigation is installed properly and decent soil is put into place, the labour costs after install for grass are quite low. And what about the production of artificial turf? What kind of chemicals and dyes are used in production? If medians are constructed properly a multitude of plants can grow there, pumping oxygen into our air and reducing our carbon footprint. Cody Isted, Vancouver

Constant wind created by vehicles and heat emanating from the nearby road seems to dry out plants very quickly with the low humidity of our Okanagan air. Plants and trees do not tend to survive for many years, whereas the estimated life span of the artificial turf is 10 to 15 years. Without pre-judging the results of this trial, the use of an artificial turf is one option we are considering for extremely challenging road locations where green is more attractive than grey, but where plants are not likely to survive without irrigation and high levels of maintenance. Park Services welcomes public comments on the trial, at parks@kelowna.ca Ian Wilson, Kelowna park services manager

Muskens from A6 The site also provides Canadian workers with access to work around the world too, which might help our under-employed workers find more work as well. It is especially a great opportunity for those who want to work from home due to family obligations. So what is the future? Some say the world is moving towards a single labour market and that borders, green cards, and social insurance numbers might be a thing of the past for some job markets. If sites such as ODesk allow companies from rich countries to hire workers from poorer countries and provide these workers with a livable wage, would the world not become a better place? Although it can take time for labour markets to adjust to change, open labour markets which exist in cyberspace will impact workers everywhere and improve the ability for even Canadians to find work beyond our borders. ODesk and other similar outsourcing mechanisms raise a host of ethical issues and innumerable questions about the nature of employment, work and regulation in the digital age, but is that different from any other internet-driven change that has impacted us in the last 25 years? Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. muskens@okanagan.bc.ca

was acknowledged with a roar of applause. With no definitive speakers list, volunteers lined up to tell personal stories of frustration with the current system to the crowd. “I have never seen a turnout like this, this early in the morning in really bad (weather) in the Okanagan,” said Howard, while listening to the next speaker address the Kelowna group. Howard explained that the clarity of the Occupy Wall Street movement was what likely inspired local residents. “They’re so cohesive with their statement. They’re logical, they’re peaceful and they know what they’re after, which is equality. That’s why it’s easy to understand.” He also credited the Internet with helping the cause to grow. “The Internet gets people cohesive and they

communicate with each other. We added over 150 people in eight hours (Friday) to the Facebook group. Technology has changed things so that activists now can get results because they’re connected beyond just mail.” Howard added that he was “stoked” that a Vancouver-based Adbusters is responsible for the initiation of the movement. Daniel Jessome stood in the middle of the crowd, proudly displaying a sign that read: Marx warned us there would be days like this. “I’ve been absolutely thrilled with the uprising that’s been going around North America. I’m an anti-capitalist. I’m against all the wrongs in our society that are constantly going on: The racism and sexism that capitalism (encourages). I’m against seeing brands and logos everywhere. I’m against private property in its entirety,” said Jessome. “Seeing all these

Homeless evening generates $30,000 fore Inn from the Cold Spending the night in a homeless shelter was a

meaningful and fruitful endeavour for 16 commit-

ted fundraisers who generated nearly $30,000 over-

night Saturday and Sunday morning for Inn from the Cold—Kelowna. More than 100 people attended the unique event that blended awareness and generated muchneeded funds. After listening to many emotional and passionate speakers, pledgers stayed the night on one of the shelter’s 35 bunk beds on Sutherland Avenue. “It was a fantastic evening,” said Tara Tschritter, IFTC’s coordinator. “We wanted to generate awareness of the shelter as much as raise money for our expenses. We certainly surpassed expectations on both fronts.” The single largest pledge of $10,000 came from an anonymous do-

nor who wanted to learn more about Inn from the Cold when a canvasser knocked on his door. The evening began with a panel discussion about homelessness. Speakers included Sean Spear (Rain City Housing, Vancouver), UBCO School of Social Work assistant professor Shirley Chau, and “Robyn,” a Kelowna woman and former Inn from the Cold client who battled mental health issues and addictions for more than 30 years. “It was our penthouse,” Robyn said of the shelter. “It’s like a summer camp in here,” she added with a laugh. Robyn is now sober, volunteers extensively in

be built QUALITY must into the

the community and raises her daughter in a loving home. She said it was a bipolar stepmother, a destructive relationship with a boyfriend, and losing her father at a young age that led to alcohol and drugs. She said she never felt worthy, and spent one year on the street. “I knew how to use a needle, and I knew how to buy drugs,” Robyn said of her downward spiral. “On the street, there was no more hiding, and I fit with a bunch of misfits.” Inn from the Cold— Kelowna is a volunteerbased registered charity operating a 35-bed winter shelter and two yearround programs, a volunteer advocacy program

known as Inn Home Support for people recently housed or at risk for homelessness, and an outreach program. It’s scheduled to open for the winter on Nov. 1. More than 300 volunteers help to keep the shelter operating seven nights a week during the winter. Inn from the Cold is also a minimal-barrier shelter, meaning it accepts men and women, couples, those battling mental health and addictions and even their pets. “I was going to come here and tell you that you needed community,” said Spear, whose Rain City Housing manages 16 shelters or programs at the Coast. “But it’s obvious that you have that here.”

B.C.’s Mobile Medical Unit looks like a fairly average semi truck when its doors are closed, but once opened it’s clear the rig offers much more than meets the eye. In a matter of minutes, the $5 million unit can be transformed into an emergency room on wheels, “We could take on eight to 10 patients at once, depending on flow through and acuity. We also have a 100 person tent where we can treat minor injuries,” said Leanne Appleton, clinical operations director for the mobile unit, speaking at a Kelowna stop Monday of a

provincewide tour. “It’s very versatile. Wherever an 18-wheeler can go, we can go. We just need level ground to set up.” The travelling package consists of a tractor and trailer with popout walls that make way for an emergency operating room and gurneys. Inside there’s portable ultrasound and X-Ray machines, not to mention its own oxygen supply. The unit, which was purchased to go along with the 2010 Winter Olympics, is the only one of its kind in Canada, and just the second in North

yearly budget, can get an idea of the scope of its capabilities. Most importantly, perhaps, it can be dispatched to an emergency site within eight to 36 hours, depending on the distance to be travelled. In addition to its onthe-road mobility, the MMU fits on a ferry, and in worst case scenarios, can be flown through the air to a destination in need. It can even be used at private functions, although Appleton said that “emergency trumps private events” whenever a conflict arises.

Zombie walk invades downtown Wade Paterson

LI E D F RESH MEATS &

STAFF REPORTER

With Halloween two weeks away, some pulled their costumes, makeup and fake blood early to take part in the 2011 Kelowna Zombie Walk. More than 100 people turned out for the zombie gathering, which was held downtown on Saturday. The family event revived adults, teenagers, kids and, even, pets for a stroll of the living dead. “It’s different, it’s fun and it’s exciting,” said James Fuller. James and wife Nicolette said that they could think of no better way to spend their day off. “We wanted to (do last year’s walk) but we just had a son and he was too young, so we didn’t get the chance to.” Nicolette said that this will become a Fuller family event once her son is old enough to join. Barb Cundy also saw the Zombie Walk as something for the whole family; her and grandson, Keegan Bray, sported convincing zombie attire, which took an hour and a half to design. “Halloween is my passion,” said Cundy. “Zombies are just cool.

But Cliff Grindle said that any negative stereotypes about the Zombie Walk probably miss the point of the event. “All kinds of things are weird and creepy, it depends who you are. This is just fun,” said Grindle. Stefan Pavlik opted to combine the theme of his costume with the Occupy Kelowna protest that was occurring at the same time

as the walk. “From the beginning it was my plan to be a corporate zombie. The timing just kind of worked out,” said Pavlik. Although it was his first time participating in the Kelowna Zombie Walk, Pavlik has participated in zombie walks in other Canadian cities. “I would say that zombies are the manifestation of the modern fear of conformity.” Sandra Hansen and Marlene Sand didn’t wear zombie costumes; however, they sat near the gather-

ing of zombie look-alikes and were entertained by the costumes. “I’ve never seen this before,” said Hansen. “I think it’s awesome. Next year we’ll be down here with our wedding dresses,” she said while pointing at a zombie bride. Hansen and Sand brushed aside any notions of the event being weird and said that they were happy that the Zombie Walk appealed to the family crowd. wpaterson@kelownacapenews. com

NEWS W MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S REPORT

Foster parents deserve salute as our societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unsung heroes

f you ask people what makes a hero, one definition you might hear is â&#x20AC;&#x153;someone who saves a life.â&#x20AC;? That makes sense. If you go on to ask people who the heroes are in their community, they will likely name emergency first responders, such as police officers, fire fighters, and paramedics. And while thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt those people all deserve to be called heroes, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another, perhaps less celebrated group of people that literally save lives: foster parents. In so many ways, foster parents are the unsung heroes of our community. To simply say â&#x20AC;&#x153;They help people in needâ&#x20AC;? would be selling them short. Young British Columbians come into care for a variety of reasonsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes child protection, but there are also voluntary agreements with the parent(s) or

Steve Thomsbn guardian(s) if they are experiencing difficulties. As you can imagine, those â&#x20AC;&#x153;difficultiesâ&#x20AC;? are often severe. Illness, marital problems, conflict, or the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need for specialized care due to physical or mental problems. Sadly, sometimes these difficulties are simply too much for a parent or guardian to handle on their own even if, hopefully, the difficulties are only temporary. Luckilyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thankfully â&#x20AC;&#x201D;help is available. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where foster fami-

lies come in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to overstate the incredible difference foster families make in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Many people think of foster parenting as analogous or part of the path to adoption. In many cases that is indeed the case, but foster families have also provided short-term, emergency and relief care for literally thousands of children and youth. While 26 per cent of foster children in B.C. go on to be adopted by their foster families, 47 per cent of children placed under foster care return to their parents within a year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particularly important to recognize the contributions made by Aboriginal foster families. In addition to caring for their foster children, they also help preserve the identity and unique culture of First Nations children. Unfortunately, their

contributions are badly needed: 56 per cent of children in foster care are Aboriginalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;46 per cent of them are cared for by Delegated Aboriginal Care agencies. Ten per cent of foster parents in B.C. are Aboriginal. To recognize the contributions foster parents make, the province has officially designated October as Foster Family Month. Partly to recognize their contributions, but also to raise awareness of the truly unbelievable service they provide their neighbours. On behalf of all British Columbia, to the 3,308 foster families in B.C. and particularly the 166 in the Central Okanagan, thank you. You have, and continue to, make a real and lasting difference in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a better definition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;heroâ&#x20AC;? than that.

Rams douse the playoff drive for Okanagan Sun

Costly mistakes hurt the Rockets

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A season that began with plenty of promise, high expectations and visions of a B.C. title ended in disappointment for the Okanagan Sun on Sunday afternoon. The underdog Langley Rams, who lost twice to the Sun during the regular season, more than returned the favour with a 31-29 victory in the B.C. Football Conference semifinal at the Apple Bowl. The Sun trailed from the opening minutes of the game—and by as much as 17-3 in the second quarter—forcing them into catch-up mode all afternoon. Trailing 31-23, a Sun offense that sputtered for much of the day finally got on track in the fourth quarter and made the game close with a long scoring drive in the final two minutes. After having two intercepted passes overturned by Langley penalties, quarterback Jeremy Mraovic’s rushing touchdown with seven seconds left drew the Sun to within two points. But the two-point conversion attempt to tie missed the mark when receiver Dan Turek slipped in the end zone. “I’m just gutted for the guys, it was a hard-

fought battle and we don’t want to lose like that,” said Jason Casey, closing out his first season as head coach. “We had it at the end, you know, we were within a hair of getting her done. I mean the guys battled hard…they didn’t give up.” A pair of missed opportunities in the second quarter cost the Sun as many as 14 points. Mravoic was picked off in the end zone after the Sun had driven the ball to the two-yard line, while another drive was snuffed out inside the 20 when Okanagan failed on a third-down gamble. The Rams’ big-play weapon did plenty of damage as Nick Downey caught five passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Daniel English also hauled in a pair of TD passes for the Rams who move on to the BCFC final this weekend against the Vancouver Island Raiders. Following a 35-3 loss a week earlier at home to the Raiders, the Sun had hoped to respond with a better and more urgent effort on Sunday to earn rematch with the defending champs from Nanaimo. For graduating Sun player Josh Richardson, the result was a tough pill to swallow.

“(The Raider loss) was a reality check for us, we went to work hard at practise this week and really felt we were ready…but it just didn’t work out the way we wanted it to,” said Richardson. “We just came out on the wrong end, that’s the way it goes sometimes.” As for fellow grad Charles Wilson, the Sun offensive lineman said the loss wasn’t for a lack of effort by his teammates. “There were lots of mental mistakes but the heart was definitely there today,” said Wilson. “It’s too bad we couldn’t have come up on the winning end. I guess that’s it, season’s over.” In the end, Casey said his team lacked consistency, particularly over the last three weeks of the season. “We do have lot of new faces, be it freshmen or guys new to the organization, so there were a lot of changes, justifiable, in the off-season and at times they were clicking and at times they weren’t so we’ll go back to the drawing board. “I have no doubt I want to make zero changes, just more recruiting. I mean coaching staff is great, the players are great. “The corps of players we want,” Casey continued. “We’re going to be pushing hard to make sure

If his players weren’t competing and working hard, then head coach Ryan Huska would have a much bigger reason for concern. As it is, the Kelowna Rockets current six-game losing streak comes down more to mental errors being made by a young team than a lack of effort. “I think when we had our slow start last year, we just didn’t have much compete from our guys, but this year is quite different,” said Huska. “The guys are playing hard, they’re just making the kinds of mistakes that are costing us games. “It’s a situation where they’re learning as they go, so we just have to make sure we keep building and clean up those areas that are costing us.” On Friday night in Victoria, the Rockets had a number of breakdowns in surrendering a 5-2 lead to the Royals, eventually losing the game 7-5.

Another major tournament, another dominant performance by the Kelowna Owls girls volleyball squad. The No. 1-ranked 4A team in B.C., host KSS beat third-ranked McMath Secondary from Richmond 2-1 (25-18, 2225, 15-9) Saturday afternoon to win the Best of the West high school tournament for the fourth year in a row. t “The girls really wanted this one, they didn’t want to be remembered as the Owls team who endred the streak,” said Owls coach Tony Sodaro. “We had won a couple of tournaments already, so it was nice how the girls stepped up to the challenge and did the job again.” The Owls won all seven of their matches over the weekend at the 48team event, knocking off Pen High in the quarterfinals, and Surrey Christian in the semis. Owls power hitter Hiltlary Schell was named the MVP for the second straight weekend. Schell was joined on the all-star team by KSS teammates Kaitlyn Given, tAmanda Hait and Cayte Wilson. Sodaro also had accolades for the play of middle McCall Capozzi whose “blocking was unbelievable.” It was the third title of the year for the Owls who also claimed the UBC and UBC Okanagan Heat tournaments. With six weeks to go until provincials, Sodaro said the Owls goal will continue to fine tune and try build on their success to date. “We have to work on expanding the gap, putting some distance between ourselves and the teams who are chasing us.” Next up for the Owls is the Handsworth tournament, followed by the Riverside tournament on Nov. 4 and 5 in Port Coquitlam. Riverside is ranked No. 2 behind the Owls. Also at Best of the West, the Immaculata Mustangs finished in a tie for seventh place.

Rockets finding ways to lose close games

Warriors want back in the win column

Costly from A18 a 4-3 overtime loss to the Royals. Then on Sunday in Kamloops, a couple of defensive miscues by Kelowna led directly to goals and 3-2 Blazers win. “I thought in six of the nine periods were were pretty good,” Huska said of his team’s three-game weekend. “But right now we’re finding ways to lose instead of ways to win. It a different thing each night.” On the upside for the Rockets is the parity that once again exists in the B.C. Division. Even after earning just one point in the last six games, Kelowna is just two points out of third and five away from second spot. Still, it doesn’t making

losing games any more palatable for the head coach. “We knew our division was going to be tight again,” Huska said. “The challenge right now is to make sure this (losing) doesn’t keep building on us. We need take care of the areas that are costing us and not dig a hole for ourselves.” The Rockets have run into some injury trouble of late with four players sidelined: Kevin Smith (shoulder), Tyrell Goulbourne (lower body) and Jessey Astles (head) all missed Sunday’s game in Kamloops. Brett Bulmer remains with the Minnesota Wild. The Rockets (3-5-1-0) return to action Thursday night when they host the Vancouver Giants.

Home ice hasn’t yielded quite the results the Westside Warriors were hoping for so far in the BCHL season. The lone point the Warriors managed over the weekend at Royal LePage Place came Saturday night in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. A night earlier, the Penticton Vees routed hometown Westside 8-3. On Saturday, the Warriors squandered a twogoal lead to Salmon Arm

late in the third period then gave up a power-play goal in overtime before nearly 900 fans. Trailing 4-2 midway through the third, Morgan Zulinick picked Michael King’s pocket and scored a shorthanded goal to cut the deficit to one. Four minutes later Mak Barden snagged a loose puck which Ben Betker had trouble controlling and beat Connor Wilkinson to even the count at 4-4 and force overtime.

Brock Balson scored his second of the night on a four-on-three power-play 1:27 into the first overtime to settle the issue. Connor Dempsey had two goals and an assist, Brayden Sherbinin had a goal and two helpers while Max French also scored for the Warriors. French’s marker, a shorthanded effort with 31 seconds left in the second snapped a 2-2 tie. It came just seconds after Wilkinson stopped Silverbacks sniper Bryce

Gervais on a penalty shot. The teams were tied 1-1 after one before Westside grabbed a 3-2 lead after 40 minutes. Dempsey’s second of the night stretched the lead to 4-2 before the Silverbacks mounted their comeback. Wilkinson, a regular with the Junior B Kelowna Chiefs, looked cool and calm in making his first start in the BCHL in an emergency role replacing starter Steven Racine who suffered a con-

Lana Finley of Kelowna scored in the second half to put the game out of reach while Lindsey Briggs had the openingW marker. “It was a hard fought match again, the second one of the weekend,” said Heat coach Claire Paterson, adding the Heat played much better in the second half. “[The team] realized that they needed to step it up and play as sharp as [Langara]… It was a little nerve racking that we weren’t putting it away in that series.” On Saturday the Heat tied Quest 1-1 in what was called a lacklustre effort.

he third Monday YOU WORK of every February HERE will be celebrated as a statutory holiday in B.C.—dubbed Family Day– commencing in 2013. This announcement Robert was made by B.C.’s govSmithson ernment, under new Premier Christy Clark, by way of the recent Speech from the Throne. The growing trend across Canada has been to find a reason for a statutory holiday in the coldest winter month and, in a sense, it’s difficult to find fault with that thinking. Several other provinces have already added a February paid holiday and it seems likely the others will get on the bandwagon at some point. Many employees will receive this news in a cheery mood, thinking, “That would be great, we could really use a break at that time of year.” I suspect, however, that many employers aren’t likely to be quite as thrilled by the imposition of a tenth statutory holiday. Whenever talk of adding new statutory holidays comes up, I’m reminded of a classic scene in one of my favourite movies. Every Dec. 24, it’s a minor tradition of mine to watch A Christmas Carol (also known as “Scrooge”). One of the best scenes comes, before Scrooge’s redemption, as he turns down his lamp and puts away his quill and ledgers on Christmas Eve. On the way out, he encounters his annual aggravation of Bob Cratchit’s entitlement to Christmas day off with pay: Scrooge: “You’ll want the whole day off tomorrow, I suppose”. Cratchit: “If quite convenient, sir.” Scrooge: “It’s not convenient, and it’s not fair. If I stopped you half a crown for it you’d think yourself illused, wouldn’t you? But you don’t think me ill-used if I pay a day’s wages for no work, do you?” Cratchit: “’Tis only once a year, sir.” Scrooge: “That’s a poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every 25th of December.” That’s about as stark a portrayal as you’ll find of an employer’s view of paying employees for statutory hol-

Elite Progressive Lens for past Bifocal Wearers

W FAMILY DAY HOLIDAY

Dr. Specs Optical

Q A

Are some Progressive lenses better than others? My friend loves hers, I don’t.

Fiscal burden placed on employers Smithson from B1

Catherine Goheen President/Owner Dr. Specs Optical

Yes, there are as many progressive lens designs as there are cars and makes. Over the last 28 years in the optical industry, I have watched the progressive lenses evolve. From the first progressives in 1952 to the latest 2 sided digital surfaced lenses, and the 1000’s of designs in between.

Q A

Are all Digital lenses good?

They are not all created equally. About two years ago, many specialists were recommending digital progressive lenses. So we started to test the most common different digital lenses on our staff, who, over the years, had been wearing dozens of different styles and makes of progressive lenses. At first, it was very disappointing. Many companies claiming to be digital, had the expensive price tag, but our opticians saw very little difference, if any. We feel that if our patients are paying $100.00 to $200.00 extra for a digital lens, there needs to be a considerable difference in the lens.

Q A

So what progressive lens do you wear?

I now wear the Elite, a Digitally Surfaced Lens. The good news: at Dr. Specs Optical, about six months ago, we stated testing a new digital surfaced progressive lens called the Elite. First we noticed the wider reading area, and the sharper definition. Then we introduced the Elite Progressive lens to any of our patients who were having trouble adapting to other progressives, and the results were far better than expected. Our patients loved them!

idays. I can’t imagine that many modern employers regard the concept quite as spitefully as did old Ebenezer. I was surprised to see one union-side labour representative giving Family Day her own brand of humbug. She was quoted as stating, “(R)eally, many minimum wage workers will probably have to work it, rather than spend time with their family, so Family Day isn’t really achieving what it set out to do for them.” Talk about finding a dark lining in a silver cloud—she’s forgetting about the fact that staff working on Family Day will earn at least timeand-a-half wages for their efforts. Perhaps a visit from Scrooge’s ghosts would straighten her out. Some employers’ reluctance about an additional statutory holiday surely has some validity. Take, as an example,

your average employer which is open for business five days of the week and employs salaried staff. That employer will usually have roughly 263 available working days in which to do business, pay its overhead costs, generate a profit, etc. The law, in B.C., requires that employees be paid a minimum of four per cent of their wages in the year as vacation pay. That works out to roughly two weeks of pay for most salaried employees. But, the entitlement increases with length of service, so the average employee probably receives more like three weeks paid vacation. Taking that three weeks of paid vacation into account, the employee’s available working days in the year are reduced to 248. But the employer pays for 263 days. Everyone gets sick once in a while and, these days, many employers provide some degree of sick pay. Let’s say the average

employee takes five days of paid sick leave in the course of the year. That reduces the days worked in the year to 243. The employer, however, still pays for all 263 days. And, of course, we must factor in statutory holidays. In B.C., there will now be 10 statutory holidays (New Year’s Day, Family Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, B.C. Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance Day, and— Scrooge’s nemesis—Christmas Day). Take those paid days off into account and the typical employee is working 233 days in the year, but getting paid for 263 days. That means that the employer is receiving only 89 per cent of the services for which it is paying. Looking at it another way perhaps makes the impact more stark. Based on a five-day work week, the average

month contains approximately 22 working days. If the typical employee has 30 paid days off in the course of a year, he or she will have been paid for almost a month and a half of unworked time. Is that a substantial hardship for most employers? That’s difficult for me to say, but I can imagine it adds up to a substantial obstacle for some companies. Does that mean we shouldn’t have added another statutory holiday to the pile? Not necessarily. Does it mean we should cut employers a little slack for their reaction to the coming of yet another statutory holiday? I think Bob Cratchit would say we should.

BUSINESS W FINANCE

Employee perks that don’t cost a cent

any small business owners require their salaried staff to run errands or perhaps have an office at home and wonder how they could compensate an employee for their extra effort without it costing them an arm and a leg. The Canada Revenue Agency allows the deduction of some expenses by employees when they are related to employment. This deduction was previously limited to commissioned salespeople, which is why many small business owners and employees don’t realize that it exists. It has now been expanded to allow deductions for salaried staff, transportation employees, forestry employees, artists and tradespersons. The first step is to fill out a form for your employee every year called a T2200—Declaration of Conditions of Employment. This form lists a series of 13 questions that you need to answer and then you need to sign the bottom of the form as employer. A copy of this form should be kept in the employee’s file and the other copy given to the employree. They do need a new form filled out for each tax season. It is very important that you have an employment contract on file for each employee that you hire that outlines the basic duties and working conditions. In this contract you can state that you expect the employee to use their own tools, or if travel is required, or any other sort of expense that the employee may need to make during their employment. By stating the facts in the employment contract, you can honestly answer the first question on the rT2200 form. For a salaried employee, you can deduct motor vehicle expenses subject to some conditions, travelling expenses, parking fees, supplies, any salary paid to an assistant and any expenses for a workspace in the home. If you are a transportation employee such that of a trucking business or a railway employee you can deduct the items listed for a salaried employee as stated on the T2200 as well as additional meals and lodging expenses subject to some conditions.

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka If you are a long haul driver, the deductible percentage is higher than for other transportation employees. Forestry employees can deduct the items listed for a salaried employee as stated on the T2200 and are allowed to deduct costs related to the use and ownership of a power saw subject to some qualifying conditions. Employed artists are allowed a deduction for the items listed for a salaried employee plus an additional amount for musical instrument expenses if you are required to provide your own musical instrument. You cannot deduct the cost of the instrument, but you can deduct main-

tenance, insurance, rental and capital cost allowance. The employment expenses are limited to the lesser of 20 per cent of your employment income from artistic activities and $1,000. However, if you cannot claim all your expenses in one year, you are allowed to carry the unclaimed expenses over to the following years and take the deductions then as long as the expenses remain within the limits specified. Tradespersons are also allowed to deduct the cost of tools purchased during the year to earn employment income subject to a calculation which is the lesser of $500 and the total cost of tools purchased and the total income earned for the year less any grants received during the year. Apprentice mechanics can also deduct the cost of tools, and their calculation is slightly different and they are also allowed to carry forward any portion of the unused deduction to a future year. These deductions are allowed in addition to the deductions listed for a salaried employee subject to what is listed on the T2200. Of course, all the above deductions may also qualify for a reimbursement of the GST/ HST paid on the purchases. So in order to deduct these expenses, CRA re-

quires that proper records are kept, meaning that you need to have a receipt for the items purchased, or receipts for meals or a log book for mileage. If the vehicle that you use for employment is also used personally, you need to take care and keep the personal expenses separate from the business related expenses. The CRA considers driving back and forth to work to be a personal expense. If you purchased a vehicle to earn your employment income, you are allowed to deduct the interest that you paid on the purchase as part of your vehicle expenses. The CRA distinguishes between a motor vehicle and a passenger vehicle and limits the amount of interest deductible on a passenger vehicle. So it’s a good deal for the employee and all the employer needs to do is create the employment contract and fill out the T2200 annually.

FACTS

PAIN PILLS

o your knees, hips, back, and hands hurt you bad enough to interrupt your life? Are you frustrated and exhausted by joint pain? Is it so bad that you don’t sleep through the night anymore? Are you obsessing on how to stop the pain? Have you turned to pain pills, but at times you are still in pain? There are all kinds of pain medications at the drug store, including over the counter and prescription medications. Some are mild and some are very strong. Each of these preparations has a place in healthcare, but unfortunately they also have their own side effects as well. Another problem with pain medications is that they only manage pain; they will not solve it permanently. Pain pills do not heal injured or worn out joints, which is the real way to get lasting pain relief from joint pain. Rather than take pain pills many people have been to a health food store looking for natural ways of solving pain. The usual natural pills for painful joints include the supplements: glucosamine sulphate; chondroitin; MSM; nutritional minerals; and even Vitamin C. Scientific studies have shown that each of these supplements, which are building blocks for joints, do solve joint pain. However, I know people who have taken joint building supplements for years and they still have joint pain. If you have joint pain in spite of taking joint building supplements you need to consider medical treatments that will turn on your healing. I have used energized oxygen, known as ozone, to stimulate joint healing since 1996. I also offer the medical treatments of dextrose Prolotherapy, platelet rich plasma, and cold laser treatments. Each of these medical treatments will turn on joint healing in your body so that you will use your supplements to rebuild your joints and resolve joint pain permanently. If you are still in pain after taking pain medications and joint rebuilding supplements, consider medical treatments that will turn on your healing and solve your pain at its source.

NEWS W UBC OKANAGAN

Author gives advice on living longer In all of his travels, Dan Buettner has not located the fountain of youth, but he has picked up a few tips on how to live longer. The author and National Geographic writer has been from one end of the planet to the other, and along the way he uncovered the best strategies for longevity. Buettner has identified Blue Zones, where many people live to be 100 or older, and he brought those aging secrets to Kelowna last Thursday as part of the University of Brit-

ish Columbia’s Okanagan campus Distinguished Speaker Series. “There is no silver bullet to living longer. The secret to adding more years has nothing to do with pills, or supplements or diets,” says Buettner. Buettner spent three years searching the world and found five Blue Zones where people live longer and have fewer ailments. In all of the zones, several common factors became apparent including a plant-based diet, some form of religious belief, a sense of purpose and be-

ing physically active their entire lives, including well into the senior years. “When you watch TV, your metabolism is actually lower than when you are sleeping,” he says, adding 60 per cent of the people in North America are either overweight or obese, both of which will reduce life expectancy. Buettner’s National Geographic cover story on longevity, The Secrets of Living Longer was one of their top-selling issues in history and a made him a finalist for the prestigious National Mag-

azine Award. His books—The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest and Thrive: Finding Happiness the Blue Zones Way—have appeared on many bestseller lists and were both featured on Oprah. In 2009, Buettner and the American Association of Retired Persons (better known as the AARP) applied principles of The Blue Zones to the community of Albert Lea, Minn. and successfully raised life expectancy and

lowered health-care costs by some 40 per cent. Buettner is working on a similar program for the Beach Cities of Los Angeles, where the strategy focuses on optimizing the health environment instead of individual behaviour change. National Geographic journalist and author Dan Buettner was in Kelowna as part of the Distinguished Speaker Series, sponsored by UBC’s Okanagan campus. Buettner spoke at the RCA about Blue Zones where people live long, healthier lives.

Frances Greenslade’s first novel Shelter tells the story of two sisters and their efforts to discover what happened to their mother after she leaves them in Williams Lake and disappears. Based in the Chilcotin region of B.C., Shelter is published by Random House in Canada, and rights have been sold in the U.S., the UK, Australia, Holland and Germany. Melanie Murray’s For Your Tomorrow: The Way of an Unlikely Solider was published in May by Random House Canada and has earned the attention of the national press for its searing treatment of the life and death of a Canadian soldier. Capt. Jeff Francis, Murray’s nephew, was a Buddhist and on his way to a doctoral degree when he decided to join the Canadian armed forces to serve in Afghanistan. He died in action in 2007.

New housing option for seniors

The official opening of Apple Valley, a new 72unit housing development for seniors and persons with disabilities in Kelowna, took place last Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pleased to have participated in the groundbreaking of Apple Valley in 2009, and I am delighted to be back to celebrate this important milestone with the Society of Hope and our other partners,â&#x20AC;? said local Conservative MP Ron Cannan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our federal investments are helping Kelowna seniors who need quality, affordable housing that meets their needs.â&#x20AC;?

y fulfillment in life comes from helping seniors and their families These past few months, I have been fortunate to meet many seniors while participating in presentations with the RCMP on identify theft and fraud. The people attending those meetings have expressed to me how helpful this information has been for them. Many people also asked me to explain what my role can be as a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; services consultant, what services I provide. The majority of my work is with elderly seniors who are 80 years and older. I like to use a version of a statement that Jane Fonda said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone under the age of 80 is not a senior but is living the second stage of adulthood.â&#x20AC;?

Sharen Marteny or they are contemplating moving to supportive housing. Often neither the seniors or their families know what to do to get started with this transition process, which can be overwhelming. I listen to the families and the seniors to help them determine what is happening and what needs to be done. A plan is then put in place that will reduce the stress of both the seniors and their families. What to do will depend on the reasons the seniors are having difficulty. Is there a medical reason, a safety issue or perhaps loneliness due to the death of a spouse? Families often call me because they fear for the

safety of their parents if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living alone. They worry that their parents may have an accident or they see that their overall health, mental or physical well-being is declining. Families need to know that even though they want their parents to move for their own safety, if their parents have the mental capacity to make their own decisions, then the parents may decide to still live at home. Families have to accept that it is their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; right to live at risk. It is also vitally important that seniors move into the supportive housing residence that best meets their needs. My role is to help narrow down the housing options to find a good match, noting that seniors sometimes mistakenly look at residential care facilities with the idea this is what supportive housing is. As well, when families take a much needed vacation or respite, I over-

NEWS W SENIORS’ HOUSING

Apple Valley gets government backing Option from B5 “Our government’s investment in Apple Valley is a testament to our commitment to increasing the number of affordable housing options for seniors,” added Norm Letnick, Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country. “These apartments are located close to shops and additional conveniences, which will allow residents easier access to services in our community.” Through an amendment to the Canada-British Columbia Affordable Housing Agreement, the federal and provincial governments contributed to a combined total of approximately $3.9 million for the construction of 36 seniors’ rental housing apartments within Apple Valley. The province also provided over $9.4 million in interim financing for the construction phase of the development and arranged long term financing of $5.3 million upon building completion. The City of Kelowna reduced the development

cost charges for this project. The Society of HOPE, who operates and manages the building, provided the land valued at $1.1 million, and about $1.5 million in cash equity toward the non-residential portions of the building. “The City of Kelowna is a proud supporter of new seniors housing projects like Apple Valley,” said Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd. “As a result, our local seniors now have even greater affordable housing choices within our community.” The Society of HOPE is a non-profit organization that has been providing quality, affordable housing to low-income residents in the Central Okanagan since 1989. “This project has been 15 years in the making and we are very proud of all the partnerships that made the opening of Apple Valley a reality,” said Lorne Gerber, president for the Society of HOPE. “Our goal was to provide affordable housing to our senior residents and

APPLE VALLEY FACTS

• Apple Valley, located at 2055 Benvoulin Crt. in Kelowna, provides 72 new apartments for seniors, including 36 seniors’ rental housing apartments for seniors and persons with disabilities. • The five-storey building consists of a mix of

open studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, including 36 seniors’ rental housing and 36 affordable rental apartments, both owned and operated by the Society of HOPE. • Apple Valley includes a recreation centre for seniors, which includes a fireside lounge and library, a multi-purpose room, meeting rooms, a large community kitchen, a billiards/shuffleboard room and a sixlane bowling alley.

process that is a natural function of being alive. Pets on the other hand—and I’m referring to mostly cats and dogs but I would also include rabbits, Guinea pigs and parrots among others—have no idea where to “go” unless they are

trained or otherwise guided. I’m reminded of a time when my children were still toddlers. I was out on the lawn picking up the “business” our dog Opel had left behind when I came across something that looked

Protecting our province from the harmful effects of used oil and antifreeze must be a responsibility we all share, together. So please, next time you look to dispose of used oil or antifreeze materials, find a collection facility near you. Here are three easy ways to do so:

To arrange for a bulk pick-up of used oil (more than 30 litres), please call 1.866.254.0555 Note: Please make sure to return your used oil materials during regular business hours for proper disposal and to avoid any spills and further contamination to the environment.

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the province. Today, participation includes 207 brand-owner members, 37 collectors and processors, 480+ return collection facilities and more than 4,000 generators. In addition, BCUOMA is reprising its successful ambassador program this summer – with two ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling.

Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are not household garbage we can simply throw out, more than 1.3 million litres of used oil ends up in BC landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a million drops of water, the problem is clear: there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore. BCUOMA is a non-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

By recycling your used oil products, you’re playing an important role in preserving our environment for future generations. BCUOMA is happy to announce that antifreeze and antifreeze containers will now be included within the broader recycling program.

this problem both from the perspective of a pet owner and also from the viewpoint of a neighbour of a pet owner. I suppose the issue pertains more to cats than dogs because dogs don’t bury their evidence; however, the issue of female dogs going on the lawn is the exception. The burn caused by dog urine on lawns is usually a winter problem because during the summer the toxins are diluted with irrigation. When damage shows up in spring, simply scrape away the dead grass, top dress with a little sandy loam and reseed the area. If your dog is going on a neighbour’s lawn, then it’s time to do a little training and monitoring. Cats, on the other hand, are more difficult to train. One must remember cats will not “go” where there is moisture. They seldom do their business on lawns but will not if the lawn is dry. If there are flower or vegetable beds being abused, then try placing thorny rose canes about 18-inches apart, a tried and true method. If a neighour has the dry conditions attracting your kitty cat, then a neighbourly gesture might be to purchase a motion activated sprinkler to come on whenever the culprit enters the yard. This usually scares cats away and over time the device can be decommissioned when the cat gets the message. Another way is to construct a sand box in a dry area that will attract the cat and can be cleaned regularly, just as you would with an indoor litter box. *** A reminder to register for a seminar this Saturday, Oct. 22.

He is survived by his loving wife Louise,mother Doreen, brother Robert (Anne), sister Deborah (Ron), his 3 daughters Shelda, Shonna and Lacey and 6 grandchildren.

Jack had a smile that made him friends wherever he went and always had a kind word to say about everyone who touched his life. He lived life to the fullest, always looking forward and never back, and will be sadly missed by all those who knew him. Louise would like to wish that in lieu of ﬂowers that you merely embrace and hug your loved ones for Jack. According to Jack’s wishes, there will be no funeral.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen apple harvest fair Apples are not only for eating out of hand as a snack, although they’re perfect for that. They’re also good roasted, fried, baked into muffins or loaves, smushed into soups or simply cut into salads. Apples appear on the table for breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea and snacks, though they might not always be very visible. Pair them with pork or chicken; sausages or bacon; cinnamon or cloves; brown sugar or lemon; squash or onions; cheese or nuts. And, those tried and true combinations are the basis for hundreds of delicious recipes, many of them passed down through the generations in everyone's family. As pickers remove this year's valley harvest of Okanagan apples from the trees, the community celebrates this iconic fruit with an annual fair. Kelowna’s restored fruit packinghouse built in the early days of the last century, along with some of the dated equipment used to pack and ship apples, will be the backdrop for the 23rd annual Apple Fair, at the historic Laurel Packinghouse on Ellis Street, where the B.C. Orchard Industry Museum is located. It’s Saturday, Oct. 22, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with live entertainment, family activities, orchard-related exhibits, local vendors, baked goods and food, and more than two dozen locally-grown apple varieties available for everyone to sample. The Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative, Westbank Harvest and Thunder Hill Farms are partnering with the B.C. Orchard Industry Museum to host the tasting table. While you’re there, you could drop by the adjacent B.C. Wine Museum and the VQA wine shop, where my new book, Jude’s Kitchen is available, and pick up a copy for your favourite cook. JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Chicken, Apple & Celery Salad Baked Half-apples with with a Chili Vinaigrette Cheese, Nuts & Cranberries This is a refreshing fall salad that’s substantial enough to constitute a full meal. You may add fresh nuts such as pine nuts, pecans or walnuts. 2 c. (500 ml) diced, cooked chicken 2 c. (500 ml) diced apples 1 c. (250 ml) diced celery lettuce fresh herbs such as parsley

CHILI VINAIGRETTE:

1 garlic clove 1/4 c. (60 ml) fresh lemon juice 1/2 c. (125 ml) olive oil 2 tbsp. (30 ml) chili sauce 1 tsp. (5 ml) salt 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) paprika

1/2 tsp. (2 ml) dry mustard 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) sugar 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) pepper 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) cayenne pepper Dice cold, cooked chicken, cored apples and cleaned celery into a bowl. Mince garlic, combine with remaining vinaigrette ingredients in a jar with a lid, and shake until well mixed. Pour over the chicken mixture and toss it all together. This can be made a half hour or so ahead of time so the flavours marry. Tear lettuce into individual salad bowls, or a serving bowl, and pour the apple mixture over top. Garnish with fresh minced herbs such as parsley. Serves 4-6.

This is a simple dessert that combines a variety of flavours and textures. Both Royal Gala and Ambrosia apples bake well, keeping their shape better than some other varieties. 3 tbsp. (45 ml) dried cranberries 1 tbsp. (15 ml) dry sherry or port 2 apples 1 tbsp. (15 ml) butter 1 tbsp. (15 ml) brown sugar sprinkle of nutmeg, ginger & cinnamon 4 tsp. (20 ml) feta cheese 3 tbsp. (15 ml) roasted pecan pieces

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Soak the dried, sweetened cranberries in dry sherry or port for a few minutes while you prepare the apples. Cut apples in half lengthwise and use a melon-baller to scoop out the seeds and make a hollow for the cheese. Divide the butter amongst the halves and spread it on the cut surfaces, then sprinkle each with the brown sugar and spices. Spoon a dab of feta cheese into the hollow of each apple, then divide the cranberries amongst the four halves and top with nuts. Bake for about 45 minutes. Serves 4.
