Mayor happy to belt tighten city spending Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
It wasn’t zero. But it was close. After nearly 10 hours of deliberation Tuesday, Kelowna city council delivered taxpayers a provisional budget that will see the city collect just 0.11 per cent more in tax this year than it did last year. “I’m actually delighted,� said Mayor Walter Gray, who had said following November’s election that he thought it would be difficult to come in with a “zero per cent� budget this year . But he praised the previous council for challenging city staff to show what a budget with no tax increase would look like. And he feels the staff succeeded. “It’s been quite a day,� said Gray. Noting that the last time the city had a budget with no tax increase was nearly 30 years ago, he said this year’s $332-million Kelowna budget reflects the tough economic times but does not sacrifice much needed capital projects. Gray noted approved big-ticket items such as the first phase of the $14-million revitalization of Bernard Avenue, slated to start in the fall, a new $8-million bridge on Lakeshore Road, four new police officers and a crime analyst for the RCMP, and a host of other, smaller priced projects maintain and add to municipal infrastructure and keep Kelowna a place locals can be proud of and outsiders want to visit. The provisional budget started the day calling for a slight cut to the roughly $97 million to be collected in tax this year. And while it relied heavily on city reserves and minor cuts across the board in virtually every department, for the most part the cuts were reductions in services as opposed to outright elimination of programs. One project that was dumped, however, was the hugely unpopular plan to spend $200,000 on a large mural on an outside wall of the H20 Aquatic Centre in the Mission. The original $100,000 budget was doubled after the public art committee said no bidders responded to the project at the original price. See Budget A6

DRIVING CONDITIONS were difficult as the cold Arctic front descended on the Okanagan this week, sending temperature to -20 C. In this particular accident Wednesday, at the intersection of Rutland, Leathead and Bach roads in Kelowna, three vehicles collided resulted in two people being taken to hospital with serious injuries. One of the drivers is facing charges of not obeying a red light traffic signal.
â–ź WINTER STORM
Cold snap hampers highway travel Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Travel late Friday or early Saturday is not advised with a dump of snow forecast—possibly a six- to 12-hour storm— as this Arctic front of cold air moves off and warmer air from the southwest Pacific moves in. No records have been set this week, although what meteorologist Doug Lundquist from Environment Canada calls a “pipeline from the Arctic� caused a sudden plunge in the mercury to almost -20 C the past few days.
JACOBSEN EXCELLENCE
He says this is typical Okanagan winter weather, normal for January, but we’ve been spoiled by six weeks of unseasonably mild air, which makes this seem like extreme winter has arrived. As the transition occurs and the Arctic high pressure ridge moves out, there could be very serious conditions with the changing flow patterns, he advised. “It would not be a great time to plan to travel,� he said. In particular, he advises against travelling to the coast or to Alberta late Friday or Saturday, but he
said even local travel will not be made easy by the heavy snowfall. As much as 15 centimetres is expected near the lake or at higher elevations, with five to 10 cm elsewhere in the valley. There’s even a small risk of freezing rain in the Southern Interior as the warmer system moves that Arctic one out, Lundquist warns. By Saturday, it’s expected that temperatures will reach at least 0 C with a possibility of 3 C on Sunday. However, in the meantime, lows of -19 C and
highs of -13 C are forecast as the order of the day until the arrival of warmer weather and a snowstorm. With the winds that accompany a change in systems, frostbite is a distinct possibility if skin is exposed to the weather for any length of time, so bundle up the kids before they go out, and be alert yourself to the possibility. As long as that cold air sits in the valley it forms a sort of dome overhead, which prevents cold air from riding over the mountains around us and into the valley. Instead it condenses over here and

falls as snow. Warming aloft also creates energy and moisture and produces precipitation as the two systems meet. The Arctic ridge of high pressure has enveloped all of B.C., Washington State and most of the Prairie provinces, with temperatures of -48 C, not counting a wind chill factor, in Watson Lake, B.C. This province will be the first area to get out of it and feel the effects of that warmer Pacific flow of air.

Wine and dine the Okanagan Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Plates of prawns, stuffed and sauced; bite-sized shepherd’s pies and beef stews; delicate beet slices topped with crunchies; fish and chips on a crisp yam slice and delicate spinach pies were all part of the offerings at Tuesday’s launch of Wine and Dine Okanagan. Shaking off the icy winds from outside, hungry diners crowded into the Delta Grand Okanagan’s warm banquet room with wine glass in hand to sample bites from local restaurants. All were washed down with sips of chardonnay, pinot gris, cabernet and merlot offered by local wineries such as Sandhill, Calona, Red Rooster, Peller Estates, Krazy Legs, House of Rose and Summerhill. Aromas of basted beef and sauteed shrimp greeted guests to the first launch party held to start off the event, which offers three-course, fixed-price meals for $15, $25 and $35 at restaurants throughout the Okanagan. It began yesterday and runs until Feb. 5. Wine pairings are suggested for each dish, but the wine is an extra cost. Menus for participating restaurants are available to make your mouth water, at: www. bcrfa.com where you click on events to go to the Okanagan event. Local restaurants that are participating include: 19 Okanagan, Bonfire, Bouchons, Cabana, Chop, Christopher’s, Coast Capri, Earl’s, Grand Bay, Gasthaus, Grove, Infusions, La Cucina, Memphis Blues, Mimi’s, Moxies, Old Vines, Olympia Greek Taverna, Ora, Ric’s Grill, Ricardo’s, Red Robin, The Keg, The Rotten Grape, Hotel Eldorado, Villa Rosa, Wild Apple, Yellow House and Yamas. It’s organized by the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association and the B.C. Wine Institute and includes more than 50 restaurants in the Okanagan.

Kelowna artist delves into discrimination By Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
There’s an art to airing one’s grievances in this world and local artist Chad Pratch would like to share it with Kelowna. He is currently collecting stories on instances of discrimination in the Okanagan for a unique art show funded by the advocacy group OK to Say. “I find that art has a way of creating a commentary on those things that are deemed unspeakable,” said Pratch, whose known for pushing boundaries. Pratch staged a number of avant-garde shows around town last year, although he is likely best known as the last artist to provide a Dysfunction-
al Chairs installation for the Kelowna Art Gallery’s multi-year series. To collect material for that piece he asked local residents to donate their unwanted and discarded chairs then produced a sculpture of the collection in the gallery’s inner courtyard. The topic at hand this time is discrimination, and the artist says he wants to hear from anyone who feels they have been discriminated against or has witnessed discrimination of any kind—whether it be for a physical or mental disability, race, religion,
sexual orientation or any other reason. “(People’s comments) are going to be a resource I can tap into for an overarching story that I am going to write. So the story is going to be like a screenplay, but the screenplay is written for more of a natural occurrence,” he said. Pratch plans to make cartoon-style drawings of the stories he hears and then stage the performance piece he’s writing at an art opening of the images. During the opening, actors will be placed within the audience and per-
form from a script telling the tale of the incidents depicted on the walls. The actors will only interact with one another, giving those who attend the freedom to look critically at what’s happening without concern of being caught in the action. “We wanted to do something edgy,” said Joyce Brinkerhoff, board member for OK to Say, a locally-based non-profit. “He was a little bit on the edge and appealed to a bit younger demographic. A lot of times our stuff was either for children or older adults, so we wanted to attract more of the young professional crowd.” Brinkerhoof says people often don’t realize what they say or do is discriminatory and noted that
an alternative forum like this art project can showcase that behaviour and offer pause for thought without pointing fingers. “It’s similar to that movie—The Help,” she said, referencing to Kathryn Stockett’s tale of life in the maid’s world during the American Civil Rights Movement. “You kind of go, ‘Oh, those horrid people’ as you watch it, and yet, they didn’t think what they were doing was something horrid at all.” OK to Say, www.oktosay.ca, has been operating in the Okanagan for a couple of years now, helping suss out incidents of racism and discrimination. It offers a place to report incidents of racism and provides information

Gas tax fuels energy savings Gospel Mission dealing with java shortfall for homeless
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna’s mayor says nobody likes paying tax. But his city sure likes receiving money that has been collected by other governments in tax. That was the case Wednesday, when Kelowna officially received $1.25 million from the federal gas tax fund to pay for energy-saving measures at the Kelowna airport, the Rutland Arena and the city’s wastewater treatment facility. “Everyone hates taxes but the City of Kelowna really likes the gas tax fund,� said a smiling Gray during the announcement at the airport with federal MP Ron Cannan and Rona Martin, president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities. The city actually scooped Cannan on announcing the federal grant 24 hours earlier as it was included in Kelowna council’s budget deliberations which took place Tuesday. Part of the money, $900,000, will go to energy-saving installations atthe airport such as radiant heating, mechanical upgrades and more energyefficient lighting and glazing at the airport’s existing facilities, and the multimillion dollar expansion that is planned over the next several years. Airport director Sam Samaddar said the retrofits are expected to help the airport reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 60 per cent, despite a doubling in the overall size of the airport terminal over the next five years.
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
KELOWNA MAYOR Walter Gray speaks at the announcement Wednesday of $1.25
million being received by the city from the federal gas tax fund to pay for energy-saving measures at three local civic facilities—the Kelowna airport, Rutland Arena and the wastewater treatment facility. “Thanks to the gas tax fund money, we can move ahead with our expansion,� Samaddar said. Gray, who served with Cannan when the pair were on city council in the late 1990s, paid tribute to the local MP for his work in helping get the federal government to enshrine into law the return of gas tax money to municipalities from Ottawa. The federal government now must return a portion of the taxes it collects on gasoline sales across the country to fund municipal infrastructure
programs. Last year $2 billion was returned. During his days as a councillor here, Cannan, who was also president of the Okanagan Mainline Municipal Association (now the Southern Interior Local Government Association) pushed hard with UBCM to get the gas tax money returned to municipalities. He said new money for the city will help keep Kelowna green. But Cannan said the grants not only help the environment, they also helps renew Canada’s
aging municipal infrastructure. Martin said a recent study by McGill University estimated that 80 per cent of municipal infrastructure across the country has now reached the end of its useful lifetime. In addition to the money for the airport, $300,000 will be spent at Rutland Arena on energy-efficient upgrades and $58,000 will be spent to reduce carbon emissions at the city’s waste water treatment plans.

Volunteers and staff at a downtown Kelowna shelter have been working overtime ensuring those who rely on their support don’t suffer from this week’s sub-zero temperatures, and for the most part things are going well. “We have plenty of beds available, so we don’t have a shortage for people who want to stay overnight,� said Randy Benson, the Gospel Mission’s executive director. “Our daytime is busier because people are staying inside to be warm, which
is good. “But when we have this many people during the day we have needs for coffee, sugar and some staples.� Luckily, the community pulled through and containers of coffee made their way to the Leon Avenue shelter throughout Wednesday morning. More, however, is always welcome as the facility is chock-a-block with men looking for shelter from the cold. “It would be great if people drop it off,� said Benson. Temperatures in Kelowna by Wednesday afternoon lingered around -18 C with snow continuing to fall.

Many areas in the interior of BC have hard water. Lime scale deposits caused by high calcium content in the water not only leads to hard-to-clean stains on shower doors, glassware and other surfaces, but it also wreaks havoc on dishwashers, laundry machines and the heating elements in boilers. The loss in energy efficiency is significant and cost associated with the replacement of a broken boiler element can be a tough pill to swallow. Traditional water softeners are not only expensive, but they use electricity and require constant refills of salt. Due to the high sodium content of softened water, it is not recommended to drink it. This means that additional costs are often incurred purchasing bottled water. Reverse osmosis systems are also a costly affair. Recently, a B.C. family decided to bring a proven European water technology to the Canadian marketplace; Best Water For You, based in Keremeos, B.C. distributes devices that can effectively solve the lime scale
problem without the negative side effects of traditional water softeners. “This is a product that is almost maintenance free� says Gloria Fedirchuck who installed a device in her Osoyoos home. “No more bags of salt etc. It is also a very “small� piece of equipment - no more large water softener that takes up space. Best of all, it gets rid of the lime scale – clear shower doors, clear wine glasses, nearly ‘smooth’ sinks - i.e. very little lime residue to clean up. Best of all, showering is a delight - skin, hair feels smooth, soft and nice to touch - without creams and conditioners.� These water vitalization devices are a natural and green technology solution to a common problem in the Okanagan and will surely attract attention. They not only address the lime scale problem but offer several other benefits such as improved taste. You can find more information online at www.bestwater.ca or by calling 1-855-499-8892.

NEWS Budget from A1 But councillors rejected the plan citing the tough economic times. “This is a belttightening year,” said Coun. Luke Stack. Stack noted the large number of reductions contained in this year’s budget is something that has not been seen in recent years. “We would normally see four or five pink (reduction) pages (in the annual budget), but this year we probably saw 40 or 50,” he said. Despite that, Stack said he was pleased not only with the outcome of the budget but also with how smoothly the council deliberations went.
With six new members of council this year, there was the possibility the deliberations would drag on well past the scheduled wrap up time of 6:45 p.m. But in the end, all the talk was wrapped up with 30 minutes to spare. In their comments afterward, several councillors credited city staff with making that possible because they heeded city manager Ron Mattiussi’s message to look for all possible places to reduce departmental budgets in order to come in as close to zero as possible. Halfway through the day, the city announced that for the 10th year in a row, Kelowna’s finance team had won an award

from its North American peers for not only the budget as a financial document and how it is prepared, but also for the way the city communicates its impact to residents. The 2011 budget provides local RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon with four more police offers and a crime analyst, positions he said are desperately needed at his detachment. The city is awaiting a consultant’s report on just how many officers should be stationed here and it could recommend more. McKinnon said he was pleased council agreed to the increase and said he will ask the force for higher ranking officers, such as corporals, because the additions needed here are supervisors. “To be honest, we need the help,” said McKinnon. But, like other city departments, he noted he also had to make some cuts this year. The force will reduce its travel budget, forgo replacing one the nine police cars it must replace and will not have reservists police the airport anymore. That work will be done by regular officers as part of their shift. Another winner this year is the new Kelowna Sports Hall of Fame, which will receive $15,000 per year for the next three years to help establish itself in the city. Heading into the budget, city staff recom-
mended a tax cut of 0.04 per cent but the $180,000 extra in operating cost additions and the $41,000 cut in capital spending resulted in pushing the eventual increase to just over one-tenth of one per cent. Gray noted the annual consumer price index rose here by 2.9 per cent this year, meaning the city went in to the budget knowing its costs would be higher. That, he said, made the minute tax increase even more remarkable. While the budget will not be finalized until May, the mayor said he did not expect the final number to increase very much, if at all. But there will be some more decisions for council to make. In addition to the recommendations of the report on RCMP strength, council will also have to decide what it wants to do to make McKinley Road safer. While $50,000 was put into the budget to look at ways of stopping vehicles from going into the Glenmore Ellison Irrigation District reservoir that runs alongside the twisting and turning road, the actual work—widening the road to install a safety barrier—could cost as much as $300,000. But Coun. Gerry Zimmermann appeared to sum up the feels of all when he said he was particularly impressed with the city staff and the “creativity” they showed in the reductions that were proposed.

New parking fee likely to draw some criticism Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna’s mayor says the city is putting on notice the people who live on streets with parking time restrictions—in 10 weeks, the city plans to start charging those residents $50 per year to park on the road outside their homes. During its budget deliberations Tuesday, council was told by city staff that as a revenue generator, the plan was being recommended. It would charge the fee for residential parking permits that are currently free. The permits allow residents who park vehicles on the street outside their homes in areas such as around Kelowna General Hospital, Okanagan College and KSS, as well Prospera Place downtown to avoid tickets for parking longer than the posted limit. “Essentially, we are giving everyone 10 weeks notice,” said Mayor Walter Gray, after council decided to hold off on immediately implementing the new charge.
He said the plan will require public feedback and predicted city hall will be flooded with phone calls from upset residents between now and May when the budget must be finalized as word of the change gets out. “There will be political fallout,” he predicted. In his presentation to council, Doug Gilchrist, the city’s director of real estate and building services, said the $50 charge would be, in most cases, for secondary parking as most properties in the affected areas are required to have at least one on-site parking space. Despite the expected public backlash, some councillors said they support it. Councillor Andre Blanleil called the $50 charge “minimal” and suggested, albeit tonguein-cheek, that the city charge the hospital a fee because its recent construction had led to parking problems in the area. On a more serious note, Coun. Luke Stack agreed the new charge would be “an uncomfortable thing.
“But everything about parking around the hospital is uncomfortable.” Coun. Gail Given said if the city proceeds with charging for residential parking passes, the city will have what she called a higher duty to patrol the area and ticket offending motorists who park past the posted time limits and who do not have permits. But others were not so sure. Coun. Mohini Singh said if she found she had to start paying to park on the street outside her home, she would be “hopping mad.” She said if the city proceeds with the plan, it should start with a lower fee as it would be easier to raise it in future rather than decrease it later. Gilchrist said staff proposed the permit fee after looking at how other cities deal with parking on busy, time-restricted streets. He said the permit fees elsewhere range from $25 per year to $75 per year. The city currently distributes 636 free residential parking permits each year and expects to generate about $28,000 per year from the new fee.
Drunk driver nabbed near school zone A male driver pulled over on Monday by Kelowna RCMP near Raymer Elementary School is facing charges of impaired driving. Police said at 11:30 a.m. an RCMP officer spotted a black Lexus GS300 travelling westbound on KLO Road with an expired validation tag on the licence plate. The driver turned north onto Richter spinning the tires and fish tailing in the middle of the intersection. The officer stopped the vehicle on Richter just north of Raymer school.
Based on the officer’s observations the adult male driver was arrested for impaired driving. He was transported to Kelowna detachment where he provided two breath samples which both read 320 mg/100 ml—four times the legal limit of 80 mg/100 ml. The 28-year-old driver, from Kelowna, faces charges of impaired driving and has been released with a court date of March 15. He was also issued a no insurance ticket under the Motor Vehicle Act which carries a fine of $598.

Cuba ballet troupe coming to Kelowna Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
At 91 years old, Alicia Alonso is arguably the best Giselle of the 20th century and the ballet company she founded, the National Ballet of Cuba, dances among the top tier internationally—is still under her direction. Ballet Kelowna and the Kelowna Community Theatre still aren’t entirely sure whether Alonso herself will arrive with the company when it performs here early February, but they guarantee the Okanagan will experience dance as it never has before, and possibly never will again. “I can’t really tell you how excited I am, as a former dancer and now as a teacher and choreographer, to know that the National Ballet of Cuba is going to be here in Kelowna,� said David LaHay, Ballet Kelowna artistic director. “For many of the audience that come to see this, this may be the only chance in their lives that they will get to see this stellar a company.� For those who don’t know the dance world as intricately, theatre manager Randy Zahara gave a succinct explanation. “Talking to people in the dance world, this is the equivalent of bringing Cold Play to our stage for the music world,� he said. He didn’t need to add that having a world renown ballet company wind its way to a midsized Canadian city, somewhat off the cultural beaten path, is unusual. At a press conference held Tuesday in the theatre, Zahara summarized

The National Ballet of Cuba has never graced a Canadian stage, let alone one in a smaller city like Kelowna, he said. For the theatre, it appeared the perfect way to celebrate its 50th year. Securing the company itself is a coup, but even the mere chance that Alonso might attend is enough to attract diplomatic to attention. “Credit for the excellence and popularity of ballet in Cuban culture rests squarely with Alicia

Alonso, an internationally renowned prima ballerina assoluta,� wrote Matthew Levin, Canadian Ambassador to Cuba, in a statement released this week. “At age 91 and nearly blind, Alicia Alonso is still at the helm of the Ballet Nacional, and despite her age and frail body, she
shows no signs of leaving. She has played such a pivotal role in ballet, in Cuba and on the world stage, that many can’t imagine life without her.� Robert Middleton, a former Canadian ambassador to Cuba who now lives in Kelowna, said he once entertained the dancer, who is widely credited as the cultural mother of Cuba, and described her as a “very impressive woman.� “It used to be said in Cuba that even Castro himself shivered on his legs when she came to call, she was such a formidable, personable lady,� Middleton recalled. Alonso has a story like no other. The ballerina experienced problems with her eyesight when she was just 19 years old and became known for dancing partially blind, her partners were expected to meet their mark impeccably. Even late into life, she was capable of bringing an audience to tears when she danced, according to LaHay, who saw it for himself. Despite being bedridden while recovering from eye operations several times, Alonso never gave up on her love. She learned her best role, Giselle, while lying in bed. Her husband, a dance teach-
er who helped her found the company, traced the moves on her hand as she lay completely still, moving only her feet. Upon returning to more normal life after a year of bed rest, she was immediately injured in a hurricane. A door exploded on her, spraying shards of glass all over her face, miraculously missing her eyes. The incident prompted doctors to rescind a ban on her dancing, saying if she could survive a hurricane, she could likely return to the stage. Alonso went on to found the National Ballet of Cuba in 1948 and, when Fidel Castro took control of the country in 1959, used the government’s commitment to making arts accessible to all of Cuba to parlay her talents into an internationally revered company. Under Alonso’s direction, the company will showcase the spectacular Russian technique and fiery Latin passion that’s made its mark on the dance world. The National Ballet of Cuba will perform at Kelowna Community Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 11, 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 12, 2 p.m. Tickets range from $47 to $69.50.

City basking in the green glow of rare gem The world’s biggest facet cut emerals is in Kelowna and will be auctioned off Jan. 28 by Western Star Auctions. Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna is basking in the green glow of a oneof-a-kind gem. The world’s largest cut emerald, which weighs in at 57,500 carats and has an appraised value of $1.15 million arrived in the city Tuesday, although it will
go to the highest bidder after it is put on the auction block later this month. It will be a bittersweet sale for Regan Reaney, the Calgary gem buyer who brought the stone to Okanagan-based Western Star Auctions. He took possession of it Jan. 13 after working out a deal with a contact in
India that introduced him to the potentially lucrative investment opportunity. But he was taken aback by the visceral reaction he had once the football-sized gem was placed in his hands. “I was stoked, it’s amazing…phenomenal. There are not enough things you can say to describe it,” said Reaney, noting it was a once-in-alifetime acquisition. “Anyone who has been around the stone has their
jaw drop and eyes open wide—it’s just a huge emerald. I am so lucky to have it in my possession, even for a short time before it goes to auction.” The stone was mined from Brazil, although Reaney can’t speak to the exact location it came from, when that may have been, or the places it’s gone since that time. He can, however, offer a theory as to who the gem, named Teodora, a Brazilian word translat-

WILL YOU PUT HIM FIRST? “I the Lord have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the gentiles, to open the eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.” (Isaiah 42:6-7) These words in Isaiah are written about the single most important man in history. They are a prophecy about Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus Christ is called, “the light to the Gentiles.”Have you ever been in a pitch-dark room? A room you have to walk into blind searching for a light switch. Perhaps you stumble a bit, stub your toe as you inch along trying to feel your way across the carpet. Then all of a sudden you find the switch and the light come on almost as blinding at first as the darkness. But then your eyes adjust and you can see the stumbling block, you can now go around the thing on which you stubbed your toe. You walk with confidence because you are now in the light. This is what it is like to live in the light of Christ. There is assurance, confidence that is great and better than anything. I gave birth to my precious son in August of this year and now that he is here I have spent a lot of time thinking about the person that he will be as he grows up. I have thought about the things he will like and dislike about what his first word will be or what his laugh will sound like. I have thought about the questions he will ask and the struggles that he might go through. I have even thought about the sports he might want to play. We took him to his first hockey game last Friday night and he didn’t want to do anything but sit up on my lap and watch the players go up and down the ice. So even though I would like him to follow in my footsteps and play rugby he might just choose hockey instead, and that is ok. As I thought about all these things though I also began to realize that none of them matter, if he does not have a relationship with Jesus that comes first in his life, and how will he know to do that unless my husband and I encourage him and show him that his savior is the most important thing.
On January first Mike and I brought our son to the Baptismal font and in front of the Grace Lutheran congregation we made promises that we would put into our son’s hands the scriptures, that we would bring him to church and teach him to pray so that he would stay connected to the one who is his light. So that he would learn to put Christ first and be able to walk in confidence in this life. Knowing how to play hockey well will do him no good if he misses the opportunity on Sunday mornings to get to know Jesus better. I would like him to be involved in music, but taking violin lessons or getting straight A’s in school won’t give him the confidence to defend his faith or share Christ’s love with a neighbor. Even Family time won’t build him up in Christ unless we are actively sharing with him who his savior is and what it was Jesus did for him on the Cross. This means that we must be proactive in our home to teach him and share with him and that we also create time and space away from us for him to get to know who Jesus is. We must make Youth Group, Summer church trips, Sunday School and worship take precedence over sports, music lessons, school events and even jobs. I made promises at Tommy’s baptism and I believe that God expects me to uphold those promises. It may not always be easy or convenient for me. It will require extra driving or calling for rides for him. It may even mean volunteering so that an event might take place, but it is worth it because my son will have opportunities to know the one who saves him. We can be saved from a life of stumbling about in the darkness. But it is not sports, or work, or straight A’s or anything but Jesus Christ who is that Light. When will we put Jesus first? When will you make it the most important thing for yourselves, your children or grandchildren? Will you pick Christ and opportunities to learn about him over the latest sporting camp? It is important to be well rounded but it is also important that we have our priorities straight and understand that it is only one relationship that provides the light for us and frees us to live in all our other relationships. It is one man who went to the cross and took your sins and set you free. It is one man who holds
out His hand, who bends his ear to hear and asks for our worship. What will you choose, for your sons and your daughters? What will you choose for yourself? God has given us a new covenant in His son Jesus Christ. He has given us a way back to himself he has freed us from our captivity and we are called to tell the world, but before we can go to the world, we must go to our children and teach them how to choose him over work commitments that keep us from worship, and over social commitments that keep us from deepening our relationship with Him. Will you be a covenant person? Will you put God first? Jesus is waiting to hold you… In His Grip, Pastor Karen Seifert We have many great opportunities here at Grace Lutheran Church for you to get to know your savior. Join us for worship on Sundays at 10:30 am and noon, with Sunday school during the 10:30 am service. Our Lenten drama series entitled “Wait and See” begins Wed. Feb. 29th at 7:00 PM and continue every Wednesday evening thereafter until March 28th. Come see a contemporary take on the trial of Peter and John before the Jewish Sanhedrin.

THE PENNER brothers Elii, 9, and Seth, 7, get a chance to hold one of the most expensive emerald stones in the world. lombia, are mostly farmers who mine the stuff and take it to market to make extra money,” he said. “So the miner who found it was a fortunate individual. We know it was not mined from a big mining company because they would have kept it.” It’s his hope that a Canadian buyer will see the value in the stone, and keep it in Canada. If not, it could be bound for anywhere from Texas to Dubai, where offers up to $1 million have already been floated. Its final price, however, should be much higher. “Because it’s a rare piece it’s hard to price. It’s in the priceless zone,” he said. “The winning bidder will set the tone of the appraisal.” Teodora is actually the fifth largest emerald ever found, but the biggest that’s been cut with facets.
It’s also easily the most valuable item to go on the block at Western Star Auctions. “Far and above the most precious item we’ve ever had,” said Western Star Auctions owner Mike Odenbach. “It’s stunning, a thing of beauty. We’re excited to have it here and honoured to have the opportunity.” It’s a chance that came to be after he floated out a business idea to Reaney, who he’d been dealing with smaller gemstones for quite some time. He explained that he’d like to launch a Canadian version of the U.S. TV series, Auction Kings, and Reaney jumped on the idea. Networks have yet to contact them about filming the Jan. 28 sale, but “the word is out,” said Odenbach.

STAFF REPORTER
When the Mt. Boucherie Chamber Choir was invited to participate at Unisong 2012—the 16th annual Canada Day choral festival showcasing choirs from each province in the country—the reaction was excitement. That excitement hasn’t gone away; however, it’s been paired with the reality that the journey won’t be cheap. According to Kim Kleineberg, the choir’s conductor, the trip to Ottawa will cost approximately $1,500 per student. “That’s a lot of money for each family to come up with,” said Kleineberg, who started the Mt. Boucherie choir program 22 years ago. To offset the high costs, choir members have been working hard by doing various fundraisers such as a Purdy’s fundraiser, 50/50 draws and bottle drives. “It’s coming along. We’re going to have a pub night, we’re having concerts in February at the community theatre…and I’m sure we’ll be doing some more bottle drives and things like that.” The kids have been largely on their own to raise money for the trip. The group has yet to receive any donations and many government grants that were given out in the past are no longer available, said Kleineberg. “Everything we do is done individually. We did the bottle drive and the full amount was divided by how many kids showed up.” The conductor said

cording to Kleineberg, this year’s group is not only committed to raising money, but also focused on learning diverse music for Unisong, “They will be sending us music that we have to learn for the large group. Then we also do three concerts on our own in Ottawa. “I’ve come up with a really diverse program. There’s one (song) in

Tread carefully on slick roads
T
he snow arrived on the weekend, and with it, a predictable blizzard of smug comments about the panic that strikes residents of Canada’s Pacific coast whenever the white stuff lands. However it is phrased, the message is the same. What’s the deal with those west coasters who get so worked up about a few little flakes? Much of the snark, it needs to be said, is coming from people who don’t fully understand the uniquely treacherous nature of
Lower Mainland snow. It is wet, squishy stuff that is very different from the frozen, powdery precipitation that the rest of the country is crunching through or skiing down at this time of year. Metro Vancouver snow, especially near the ocean, tends to come down moist, quickly freezing into ice. And then, just to make it really interesting, more snow will usually land on top of the ice, a nasty combination of a slippery surface and a damp topping that packs nicely into tire treads to re-
duce traction. All of this, by the way, spread over hills, some of the steep variety. Our snow bears little resemblance to the sedate, crisp flakes found in drier, flatter climes. For the same reason, it also produces potentially injury-inducing snowballs heavy with ice. But as a driving surface? Not so much. It is a challenge, one that local motorists don’t face all that often. Some get anxious while others, it seems, simply pretend nothing has changed. Some driver overcompensate
by creeping along at a snail’s pace, terrified they might wipe out on the slippery streets. There are others who operate in a state of apparent denial, barreling along as though the laws of physics don’t apply to them. Maybe ICBC needs to consider a special “S” sticker for such motorists. And maybe the rest of the world could do us a favour by acknowledging the unique nature of our snow and cut us a little slack. —Peace Arch News

hen a mighty Arctic fronts flow over B.C. as it has this week, the brutal nature of winter tends to confront us in ways we’d rather not face. But there is something about a cold snap, when the thermometer dips below -25 or -30 C, that gives you a sense of self-appreciation for having survived it. It also reminds me of my first experience with real winter, something that for people who grow up in the Lower Mainland, like I did, never really understand. While we like to laugh at ‘wet coasters’ when a winter storm hits and the city and surrounding suburbs come to almost a standstill, it’s not totally fair. Those people never experi-
ence the true wrath of a winter, sometimes never seeing snow between November and March, and few people realize the hilly terrain that goes with driving from the city to the flatlands of the Fraser Valley. It’s made of ridge after ridge, steep declines and inclines, than anyone who has cycled around that area realizes very quickly. Driving a car during any season other than winter, that reality can sometimes be overlooked. My first confrontation with hardcore winter was back in 1981, after I arrived in the logging and min-
ing town of Houston in late fall that year, my first job in the newpaper biz. I had the misfortune to walk into the worst winter that part Barry of northwest B.C. was Gerding to experience in the previous 25 years. It was brutal. I was driving a then old 1970 Ford Galaxie sedan at the time and it didn’t survive the winter, a victim of my seasonal ignorance. The concept of a block heater was unknown to me. Driving in snow blizzards led me to accidently drive into a trailer court playground which I thought was part of a road. While I waited for
EDITOR’S NOTE
the tow truck to come give me a pull, I watched a snowmobile race past me down the middle of Highway 16, an image to this day that I’m not sure I actually saw or was a winter hallucination. I drove that car 30 kilometres on a bush logging road in a snow blizzard to reach a silver mine for a story, and was lucky to get back to town alive, a snowbank the only thing that stopped me from sliding off the road and down a steep embankment. I flew back to Vancouver in November of that winter, leaving my car at the airport in Smithers. When I got back, my car wouldn’t start, it was -25 C and my fingers nearly became one with the oversized ignition key because I didn’t bother to have gloves.
The car had to be towed to the garage where it ”warmed up” indoors from its frozen state for two hours before the battery was able to spark the engine. I still remember negotiating with the car dealership salesman for a trade-in deal on a new truck when I noticed my car getting towed past his office window. It was at that moment he asked me what condition my car was in. “Near death,” was the only response I could think of. Those are lessons that Lower Mainland types have to endure, but for the rest of us living throughout the Interior of this province, we may not be so lucky but we are the better for it.

LETTERS
Comments from the Web on gun registry To the editor: “Quite frankly, I don’t think I have ever read such a gender-biased, statisticallyincorrect, self-serving letter in my life.” (From Bruce K. Dunne’s letter to the editor: It Doesn’t Take a Gun to Murder a Spouse, Jan. 5 Capital News) Yikes! Calling the kettle black! A total of 4,612 registered firearms were removed from the possession of individuals whose licenses were revoked due to public safety concerns between Oct. 31, 2008 and Jan. 4, 2011 as reported by the Public Safety Minister Vic Toews in response to a question in the House of Commons. [See footnote 1.] The reasons for revocation due to public safety concerns included: reported prohibition or court order, 3,887; reported potential risk to others, 547; reported potential risk to self, 399; reported unsafe firearms use and storage, 224; reported violence, 198; reported drug offences, 15; and providing false information, 3. This is one of the reasons that we have the gun registry, to help take innocents out of harms way—one of the reasons that all Health and Safety Organizations in Canada, the Canadian Chiefs of Police, and the RCMP, all said that the gun registry saves lives. With the passing of Bill C-19 this will no longer be possible. And Bill C-19 is a leap backward: Verifying a firearm purchaser’s license becomes voluntary, there are no provisions to reinstate the requirement for

business to keep records of firearm sales, and a tool widely used by police to remove guns from dangerous or suicidal people is removed. Canada will become an unrestrained free market for guns, just like the United States. [See footnote 2] 1. Toews, Vic. (2011) in Edited Hansard, 40th Parliament, 3rd Session, Number 145, Monday, March 21, 2011: www.parl.gc.ca/ HousePublications/Publication.aspx?DocId =5039495&Mode=1&Parl=40&Ses=3&Lang uage=E#SOB-3812886. 2. Investigation: Illegal Gun Buyers Have an Easy Time Online, Time, December 16, http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/12/16/investigation-illegal-gun-buyers-have-an-easytime-online/#ixzz1gztUUa9r. Ward M. Eagen To the editor: Re: It doesn’t take a gun to murder a spouse, Jan. 5 Capital News Mr. Dunne’s response (to Dec. 2, 2011 letter to the editor: Long Gun Registry Killed as Violence vs. Women Marked, Dec. 2 Capital News) addresses the issue of violence between men and women with respect to firearms, from his personal po-
lice experience on the front lines, and from what sounds to me like a common sense approach to dealing with potentially volatile situations. Mr. Eagen’s response to Mr. Dunne (above) provides statistics from slightly over a two-year period encompassing the firearm penalties from all arrests, convictions, somebody’s perceived threat (or vengeance) and general no-no’s in Canada. Many of these never were a firearm crime and, based on my experience, knowing some individuals who had their firearms removed from their possession only to have them returned later, never resulted in a crime of any kind at any time. The statistics he quotes do not appear to account for any firearm related offences by unregistered individuals. Personally, I would be more concerned with the angry wife, or the unregistered individual holding a gun than the registered one. Mr. Eagen’s next reference quotes a news article by a source whose livelihood is to sell stories. Do the reporters have handson experience with domestic violence or firearm offences? Are they reporting all the facts from all experienced sources? Or are they assembling an opinion using only select information? I hear the newest issue magazines are on store shelves at the checkout stand now. Kerry Lyn Friesen

B.C. government spending out of control To the editor: The ICBC list of their top 50 employee salary ranges shows CEO Jon Schubert receives $449,201. The 50th person on the ICBC payroll is M. Hancock, he/she receives $207,277. Plus expenses and benefits. Not one of these employees are as highly skilled as are the medical doctors and health care specialists (nurses etc.) the public relies on for surgeries and hospital care.
These ICBC highly overpaid paper shufflers should have their salaries reduced by two thirds. The same treatment should apply to every government department. B.C. is $60 billion in debt. A billion is $1,000 million. When premier W.A.C Bennett was voted out of office in 1972, B.C.’s accumulated debt since joining Confederation had risen to $12 billion. B.C.’s only three pre-
miers that understood debt management were W.A.C. Bennett, his son Bill Bennett and Bill Vander Zalm. The crisis the province is facing will not be fixed by either Shifty Christie or the Dix Mix. The Lieutenant Governor should call an emergency meeting with the caucuses of the three political parties then make the serious decisions to properly manage the economy. The Conservative
leader was a Reform MP from 1993 to the end of the last Parliament; he understands debt management. Reform really put the pressure on Chretien and Martin to lower the federal debt in 1995. If the Lt. Gov. fails to recognize the seriousness of the situation, he should be reminded that his presence means more than to warm an extra seat in the legislature. In other words, there is no free lunch; even for the Lt. Gov.
Every government employee should expect to have their salaries reduced. Without those cuts B.C., similar to Ontario, is facing bankruptcy. Ontario’s debt is $249 billion. Ontario is facing a credit reduction rating. Being a have not province; Ontario is really finished; especially if Alberta and Saskatchewan cut off the transfer payments. Ernie Slump, Penticton

Flaggers unsafe practices To the editor: First, I know their job is an important and necessary one. I also agree that some drivers do not pay attention to their position on the roads and/or speed limits. But, in which other job does WCB—‘Worksafe BC’—allow employees to drink coffee and smoke cigarettes while they perform their daily employment duties?
I have seen numerous flaggers drinking a Tims and smoking cigarettes while waving their signs. And yes, some I’ve seen on cell phones. How can that be 100 per cent compliance with employment standards? I believe they have coffee breaks and a lunch break and drinking coffee and smoking should be part of that break time and not done on the roads for
which they are attempting to protect not only themselves, but the other workers on site. Should they not be paying attention to the traffic? I have been surprised for many years watching these people in dangerous situations participating in what is a dangerous activity while doing their job. Caron Macdonald, Westbank

Rigby at home with Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
After stops in Prince George, Osoyoos, Penticton and Victoria in less than a year, Carter Rigby was anxious for some stability in his hockey career. Last fall, the well-travelled 17-year-old forward found it when the Western Hockey League’s Prince George Cougars dealt his rights to the Kelowna Rockets for a third-round bantam draft pick. “I was getting ready for Victoria’s (BCHL Grizzlies) training camp when my dad phoned and told me I was going to Kelowna,” said Rigby, a Penticton product who played 14 WHL games over the previous two seasons in Prince George. “I was ecstatic. I really couldn’t ask for anything else. It’s close to home, it’s a great organization, a team with a winning tradition, and I was excited to come play here. I had a bunch of emotions, but they were all happy and good ones.” Five months later, Rigby’s mood remains understandably upbeat as the 6-foot, 205-pound winger has clearly found a home in major junior hockey. An offensive threat at every level he’s played at, Rigby registered 13 goals and 11 assists in his first 38 games with the Rockets, while logging ice time in all situations. “He’s been a nice addition,” Rockets’ head coach Ryan Huska said of Rigby. “He shoots the puck really well, he’s one of our more physical forwards, and he’s getting

FORWARD Carter Rigby has shown a knack for goal scoring in his first season with the Kelowna Rockets. more and more time with our penalty killers, showing that he’s pretty versatile. “One of the challenges for Carter is that he’s need to be skating,” added Huska, “making sure he’s working more on moving his feet, starting and stopping instead of circling… but he’s come a long way since he came here.” While he’s clearly not at the same level, Huska compares Rigby’s skill set to that of a former Rockets forward, now with the NHL’s Dallas Stars. “Of course he’s not in the same category, but he reminds me a bit of Jamie Benn. He can score, he doesn’t mind getting his nose dirty, and he has a lit-
tle of that power forward thing going for him.” For Rigby’s part, the step back up to major junior as been an eye opener, particularly after spending much of last season in junior B with the Osoyoos Coyotes, before playing a few games with the BCHL’s Penticton Vees. Still, Rigby seems to have answered any and all questions about his ability to play the junior game at the highest level. “Nothing’s as big as the step you have to make up to the WHL, and the first couple of weeks was a little hard to get used to,” he said. “But I think I’m fitting in pretty well, and I feel like I’m coming into my own with the
points I’m getting lately. I think the last couple months I’m playing some of the best hockey I’ve ever played, so hopefully that continues and I can keep showing the coaches they can count on me in key situations.” So past the halfway point of Rigby’s first season in Kelowna, it looks like the third-round bantam pick the Rockets surrendered last fall was well worth the residuals. And as long as Rigby keeps progressing, assistant GM Lorne Frey said the Rockets will have no regrets. “You never like to give up draft picks, but if he continues to do what he’s doing, we’re going to pretty happy with the trade,” said Frey. “We have him here as a 17-year-old, so that means we could have him another two or three years after this. Goal scorers are hard to find… and he competes, too. “Having said that, he has to keep getting better and improving. This a tough league to score goals in.” In addition to the watchful eyes of the Rockets, Rigby’s progress over the next few years will be closely monitored by his family. His mom and dad, Mike and Brenda Rigby, and his grandparents— all from Penticton—can be found in the stands at Prospera Place for every Rockets’ home game, along with several cousins who live in Kelowna, and a brother who works in the arena concession.

Serwa’s season is done After proving she was one of the best female ski cross racers in the world in the season-opening events, Kelowna’s Kelsey Serwa will have to watch the rest of the season from the sidelines. Serwa confirmed Wednesday she has a torn ACL, suffered in a crash in France last week, and will need surgery to repair the damage. On her Facebook account, Serwa explained the results of the MRI this week in Vancouver. “It’s confirmed, I’m out for the season with a blown ACL and will need surgery in the next month or so,” she said online. “I have some bone bruising, meniscus damage, and a first degree tear of my MCL but those should heal themselves. Best of luck to all the competitors on the ski cross circuit for the remainder of the season.” The 22-year-old from Kelowna suffered a knee See Serwa A17

Mustangs 3rd at B.C. Catholics The Immaculata Mustangs captured the bronze medal at the B.C. Catholics Senior Boys Basketball Championship. In the third-place final Saturday at Holy Cross High School in Surrey, the Mustangs defeated St. Ann’s Academy of Kamloops 52-43. Player of the game Alex Hart scored 24 points for the Mustangs, while Dario Gini added 15. Immaculata opened the weekend with a 61-
53 win over Notre Dame. Gini hit seven threepointers on the way to a 25-point effort, while Hart had 17. In the semifinal, the Mustangs struggled to score and went down to defeat, 56-29 to St. Thomas Moore. The Mustangs were down 12 at half and just couldn’t get it going, prompting head coach Gini substituted off his starters at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
All in all, Gini was satisfied with his team’s effort. “It was another great opportunity to work on things and to compete against teams we have not seen before,” Gini said. “I was a little disappointed for the boys in the semi final game as we just could not finish, we missed layups, missed put backs and missed many great looks from the perimeter and as a team we moved the ball very well on offense
and handled their pressure very well. “Dario was frustrated as he had great looks but they wouldn’t fall but handled the ball well and ran the offense. Alex Hart had his best weekend of basketball, played big, played strong and hit some perimeter shots, he was simply very very good this past weekend.” Hart was named to the tournament’s first allstar team, while Gini was named to the second.

National motocross award for Keast There weren’t many medals or trophies in the sport of motocross that went untouched by the hands of Casey Keast in 2011. The 13-year-old riding phenomenon from Kelowna can add one more award to his growing collection after being named winner of the Motorcycle Award of Excellence earlier this month at a ceremony in Toronto. Keast, a Grade 7 student at Springvalley Middle School, was the recipient in the Canadian Champions category for Youth Motocross. Better known as the Max Awards, they are considered Canada’s motorcycle version of the Oscars, and recognize the outstanding accomplishments of future motocross stars. “It was cool. When I got my award I felt happy and excited,” Keast said. “I was surprised I got it because I race against
some talented riders including Jess Petis from Prince George, Landon Constintine from Fort St. James and Sara King of Fort St. James, she’s been in the MX magazine. “While I was waiting to accept my award I got to hang out with Kyle Keast,” Casey added. “He’s a pro racer from the Toronto area with the same last name. I wonder if we’re related?” Casey Keast is coming off a dominant 2011 season on the provincial and national motocross circuits. He won the CMA (Canadian Motocross Association) nationals with a perfect weekend in Agassi, capturing all four championship rounds on his Yamaha in the 85 cc youth division. Casey also won the BCMA (British Columbia Motocross Association) title in Kamloops, winning all three rounds on his 85 cc in the age 12

“I don’t find it nervewracking at all, actually it’s more comforting seeing them up there than anything.” The Rigbys can watch their son this weekend as the Rockets continue their current home stand with two games.

Kelowna’s Bremnes headlines for his musical idols Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Growing up in Salmon Arm isn’t exactly down in the bayou, but as local haunts go, it’s got a reputation for fostering musical talent like New Orleans to Dixie. And yet, if you ask Dan Bremnes what spurred his interest in the guitar, he doesn’t say anything about the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival and the 30,000-plus people and phenomenal talent it brings to the area—hometown or not. He’s talking about the band Jars of Clay, and specifically, a song from that band’s first album called Like a Child, taught to him by youth pastor Tyler Woods. “Jars of Clay is kind of the reason I started writing music, so it’s sort of a dream come true to open for them,” he says in a phone call to announce he’ll be the first one on stage when the three-time Grammy Award winning band hits the Kelowna
Community Theatre later this month. Considered a rising star on the Christian music scene himself, Bremnes says he’s blown away by the chance to open for an act whose simple melodies won his heart from the first chord; although, he’s had a few star-struck moments of late. When he spoke with the Capital News last October, he was just launching his full-time music career, having left a job at Eastside Mario’s on Harvey Avenue to start touring and playing as a main gig. The fall tour took him and his wife on an impressive journey, culminating in a performance at the Canadian Gospel Music Awards, where he encountered Six Pence None the Richer and lunched with New York Christian music producer and filmmaker Stephen Taylor. “The best piece of advice he gave us artists was not to change the music to fit the industry,” said

It’s a track record Bremnes would love to see just a taste of and he’s hoping he’ll get a chance for some one-on-one guidance come showtime. “They’re probably still one of the biggest names in Christian music,” he said. “So I would like to know if they have any advice.” For now he and his wife, Brittney, who runs Bremnes Photography in town, are touring the Dominican Republic learning more about the charity he’s chosen to support— Compassion International.

Nothing like real meat from a real butcher
W
ant a quick, easy, versatile, incredibly cheap, and delicious idea for dinner? Schnitzel! Schnitzel is a traditional Austrian dish made with boneless meat thinned with a mallet, coated in breadcrumbs and fried. Traditionally made with veal, schnitzel is also made with pork and turkey. L & D Meats in Guisachan Village on Gordon Drive offer all varieties made fresh inhouse. I am fond of the pork variety and two pieces usually comes out
FOOD & WINE TRAILS
Jennifer Schell to around $3! I love that L & D always has great cooking ideas for the customers— Hugo is actually a trained chef, and owner Don and the rest of the crew are true foodies. Jean recommended that I try making Schnitzel Holstein with the pork and it was
delicious. A specialty in Berlin, this schnitzel is topped with a sunny side up egg and a crowned with couple of anchovies. I also made a caper butter sauce to drizzle atop but, as Jean says, the egg makes its own sauce. There are a wide variety of toppings commonly served with schnitzel— from tomato sauce, mushroom cream sauce to simply a lemon wedge. While at L & D check out their amazing variety of frozen ground meats available in the freezer. I always have one of each in my freezer for easy ac-
cess. From ground bison or veal to lamb or venison, Don always stocks the very best quality. I bought some frozen ground elk to make hamburgers and it was delicious. Wild meats are extremely nutritious and very lean and I encourage you to substitute your usual ground beef with one of these other choices. There is nothing like shopping at small, independently owned shops. I love the L & D family—it is fantastic to be able to directly chat with a butcher, ask ques-
tions, make requests for products or cuts. I cannot imagine picking up some random, plastic covered mystery meat at a chain supermarket anymore. PS: the farm-raised chickens are perfect and they carry the best bacon in town! 250-717-1997. Speaking of bacon: Fans, get out your pens! Chef Natasha Schooten at Osoyoos’s Watermark Resort was kind enough to share this delicious recipe with us. Bacon Jam. Oh ya, you heard me right. Imagine this on a See Schell A22

▼ MOVIE PREVIEW
Extremely Loud…opens on weekend
O
pening this weekend is the acclaimed Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock drama Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
Grand 10 Landmark
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis Based on the novel of the same name, it is the story of 10-year-old Oskar Schell who loses his father in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre. Convinced that his father has left a final message for him somewhere in the city, Oskar begins searching New York City for the lock that fits a mysterious key he found in his father’s closet. It is directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Reader) and also stars Max von Sydow, Viola Davis, John Goodman, Jeffrey Wright and newcomer Thomas Horn who was chosen to play Oskar after the producers saw him become a big winner on Jeopardy’s Kids Week two years ago. After passing on starring in the third Underworld movie, Kate Beckinsale returns in the lead role as vampire warrior Selene in Underworld: Awakening. Six months after the events of the second movie, Selene is captured by hu-

Eventually, both government officials and the public learn about the existence of both Vampires and Lycans. Twelve years after being cryogenically frozen, Selene manages to escape into an allout war the humans are waging against the two immortal species in an effort to eradicate them. Steven Soderbergh is one of today’s most prolific and consistent filmmakers, making movies like Out of Sight, Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Ocean’s Eleven and, most recently, Contagion. His latest, Haywire, was actually shot prior to Contagion and he again attracts a big name cast including Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Channing Tatum, Antonio Banderas and Michael Douglas, but the lead role belongs to relative new-

comer Gina Carano, who was formerly one of the world’s top mixed martial arts fighter. Carano uses all of her skills (and does her own stunts) as a highly trained covert ops specialist who is hired out by her handler to perform jobs that governments can’t authorize and heads of state would rather not know. When an operation goes awry and she finds herself doublecrossed, she uses all of her skills to escape an international manhunt and make it back to the United States to exact revenge on those who burned her. Produced by George Lucas, Red Tails is set during the Second World War and is based on the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American pilots who were the first in the United States Armed Forces.
In 1944, as the war in Europe continued to take its toll on Allied forces, the Pentagon had no choice but to use the Tuskegee Airmen who were unused and untested due to racial discrimination and segregation. Against all odds, with something to prove and everything to lose, these young airmen earned the nickname RedTail Angels through their courageous acts and the tails of their planes, which were painted red. Starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard, Lucas has wanted to produce this film since 1988, but wanted to wait until special effects technology was good enough to do the dogfights justice.

A Dangerous Method interesting Engage volunteers effectively look at birth of psychoanalysis Dawn Wilkinson CONTRIBUTOR
A DANGEROUS METHOD
I could have seen The Iron Lady, and in fact, I will. It will be awesome—just go see it! Instead, last weekend, I opted to see Dangerous Method, directed by Canadian David Cronenberg, who gave us The Fly and Dead Ringers. I’m not a fan of Cronenberg’s work, and I knew this was not going to be a lighthearted look at the beginnings of modern psychiatry, or in fact, a lighthearted look at anything. That is just not the Cronenberg way— I’m still afraid of flies! Cronenberg gives us a look at the ever evolving and devolving relationship between Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortgensen) and Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender). Their friendship blossomed with Jung seeing Freud as a father figure. However, life choices and a difference in methodologies take them in vastly different directions and we watch the relationship decline. Freud and Jung could not have been more different, Freud lived modestly with this wife and six children, while Jung
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen had a wealthy wife who spared no expense to ensure he was not going to leave her. To prepare for the role of Freud, Mortgensen visited Vienna, studied Freud’s habits, and even smoked the same cigars; the art department went so far as to obtain per-

iod pens for the actors— much of the communication between the two men was by letter. The movie opens in Zurich in 1909, where Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightly) finds herself sent to a mental institution at which the head doctor is Jung. Let me warn you, this show is all about sex (what a surprise, considering the subjects) and there are explicit scenes throughout. What is absolutely clear is that Keira Knightly is brilliant and Oscar-worthy as the damaged Sabina. Spielrein’s evolution from insane to a talented psychologist in her own right, is so incredible that it is mesmerizing. Without giving the whole film away, let me say that Jung fell in love with Sabina and all her sexual proclivities while, of course, married to his ever-pregnant wife. But the show is deeper than just the lust of Jung and the unbending of Freud, it is about two leaders in a field not understood at the time, and often ridiculed, but without whom the great strides in the field of the mind would never
have been made. Jung outlived Freud, his mistresses (yes, more than one) and died in 1961 at the age of 86. Jung was psychic himself and suffered depression and it is hoped that we come away with a look at the whole person with all the angst, faults and genius that he was. Freud and Jung took their work farther than anyone had ever done and, as Jung says, “gave a glimpse into the future of what the patient could become” There are many great lines in this show, but I liked this one: “Once they find out what we mean, they’ll be just as appalled.” Still quoted, still questioned, often criticized even today, we have to ask ourselves where would we be if they had never lived? I give Dangerous Method four reels.

Volunteer Canada came to Kelowna last November to launch two new toolkits focused on volunteers in the 55+ age range. This month Volunteer Canada is surveying non-profit organizations about inspiring practices to engage volunteers. Dramatic changes in volunteering trends are challenging managers who work with volunteers to run programs that meet ongoing client and community needs. How do we engage people who want to volunteer in groups, for short periods to make the greatest impact? If you struggle with this question, consider attending the Overview of Volunteer Management course. The cost is $199 for four days of learn-
ing and networking with other people responsible for administering volunteer resources. The course runs two days one week and two days the next week so that you can keep on top of your typical duties. The break gives time for ideas to percolate and your understanding to deepen. Your manual includes PowerPoint presentations, support materials, sample forms and online resources. Each session is facilitated by an experienced volunteer manager and peppered with individual activities, pair sharing and larger group discussions. So what will you learn? Day one covers volunteer and donation trends in the morning and interpersonal communication styles in the afternoon. Day two will involve you in budgeting, record
DOUBLE SMOKED BACON JAM
Yields: 32 oz 1.5 lbs double smoked bacon cut into small dice 2 medium onions small dice 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp salt Sauté the bacon in a sauté pan until 75 per cent done. Take out of the bacon fat and add in the onions and start to sweat the onions off. Sweat the
onions until they start to soften then add in the brown sugar and start to caramelize the onion. Next, season with salt and pepper then add in the balsamic vinegar and let it reduce to jam-like consistency. Store in a jam jar in the fridge.
COLD NIGHT REMEDY
Perfect escape for a cold winter’s night? Tuck into Bouchon’s Restaurant downtown Kelowna and fall into the arms of Paris. I adore this restaurant—the room is perfect, the service is fabulous and it offers a wonderful place to enjoy a romantic date
or a lively night with a group of friends. My suggestion: Start with a Kir Royale (champagne with Crème de Cassis, which is blackcurrant liqueur), share some of the amazing frites (with mayo of course) and then indulge in the Duck Confit. We just enjoyed this lineup with a group of friends last week. C’est manifique! www.bouchonsbistro. com 250-763-6595 Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C.

Obituaries
BEWS, MARION EDITH It is with sadness that the family of Marion Edith (Lee) Bews announce her passing on December 8th, 2011 at the age of 93. She is survived by her daughter Shannon Croft of Kelowna, her grandchildren Jeff of Vancouver, Karry of Langley and their father Keith Croft of Kelowna. She is further survived by her sisters Vern Routledge (Bill McGhee) and Laura Grieve, both of Kelowna, as well as 8 nieces and nephews and their families. Marion was predeceased by her husband Jack in 1982, her parents Charles and Marion Lee; her brother Reg Lee and her sister Sophie Foley. She is further predeceased by her brothers-in-law Harry Grieve, Dan Routledge, and Sid Foley as well as her sister-in-law Myrtle Lee. Marion was born in Kamloops in 1918 and lived in Nanaimo, Powell River, Myrtle Point and Vancouver before returning to Kamloops where she started her business career. Her first job was with the Kamloops Sentinel as a stenographer and court reporter. She moved on to CFJC radio for 3 years before being lured by “Big” Jim Browne to CKOV and the Okanagan Valley in 1943. Marion was Secretary to the Browne Family of CKOV, “Big” Jim, Jim and Jamie, as well as Director and Secretary of Okanagan Broadcasters Ltd. She was one of B.C’s Pioneer Women in Radio, with her first program called Cy and I in the late 40’s. She met her husband Jack at CKOV (who later became the station’s News Director - “Jack Bews with the News”) and they both worked at the station until their retirement in the late 70s. Marion loved to play crib, bridge and always kept up with the news. She volunteered for the Red Cross, CNIB and was a life member of the Kelowna General Hospital Auxiliary. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy and she will be missed by all who loved her. The family wishes to thank the Staff at Sutherland Hills, including Erfie, Liz, Angelina and Mahinda for their care over the years as well as the “Visiting Friends” Lynne, Pauline, Helen and Cathy whose visits brightened her days. The dogs Annie and Reggie were also favorite visitors. Memorial Service for Marion will be held Saturday, January 21st, 2012 at 1pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Southern Interior Cancer Centre or the KGH Foundation. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

BENTLEY, DONALD Passed away peacefully January 13th 2012 at Central Okanagan Hospice House in Kelowna, BC. Don was born in Edmonton, the son of Jim and Marion Bentley on August 24th 1937. After receiving his B.Sc. in Edmonton, Don trained as a meteorologist with the Department of Transport. He was stationed as a weather forecaster in Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, Whitehorse and Edmonton. Later, he was posted in Germany and the US, where he served as an officer with the Canadian Air Force. When Don retired from Environment Canada in 1980, he married Angela and returned to farming in the Edmonton area. In 1997, they would further enjoy retirement with a move to Kelowna, BC. Don embraced life as it presented itself, sharing his passion with airplanes and a lifelong love of flying. He didn’t just have dreams, he lived them. Don is predeceased by his parents and will be dearly missed by his wife Angela and her three sons: Bobbie (Pamela) of Guelph, Ontario, Jim and Clark Seeber of Edmonton and brothers-in-law: Klaus Langbein (Kati) and Uwe Geyer (Uta) of Germany. He also leaves behind three sisters: Linda (John Chalmers) and Ila (David Scott) of Edmonton, and Merle (Ken Kew) of Florida as well as many nieces, nephews and grandchildren. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Don’s life will be held at St. Paul’s United, 3131 Lakeshore Rd., Kelowna, Friday, January 20th at 1:00 pm. The family would like to take this opportunity to recognize the loving care of Dr. Livingston and the staff of Hospice House. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2Z6, or to a charity of one’s choice. A graveside service will be held at Evergreen Memorial Gardens, Edmonton, Alberta, on a date to be announced later.

WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
WEST KELOWNA council members show off their Kraft Hockeyville jerseys during a break in Tuesday’s council meeting. Mayor Doug Findlater made a special Hockeyville announcement to start off the meeting, which was later dominated by discussion of the 2012 proposed budget.
▼ BUDGET
West Kelowna district staff suggesting a 3% tax hike Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
A three per cent municipal tax increase is what is being proposed to District of West Kelowna council. Council got its first look at the draft budget on Tuesday. Despite the Westside Governance Study’s prediction of five per cent tax increases each successive year until 2013, the DWK has had less than a three per cent increase each year since 2009. According to a re-
port that was presented to council, the three per cent increase will generate an additional $669,013 of revenue. Revenue from growth adds $276,525 for a total additional revenue of $945,538. DWK chief administrative officer Jason Johnson told council that it is proposed that 47 per cent of those additional funds go to an increase in service levels, while 42 per cent go towards an increase in reserves and 11 per cent go towards an increase in 2012 operating expenses.
In a report given to council on Tuesday, it stated that a total of $454,416 has also been identified— through growth and operating cost savings and from a library reserve transfer—as discretionary funds. The report suggests that $256,871 of this be used to satisfy increased service level requests and the remaining $197,545 be available for council’s discretionary use. If all of those funds were to be committed to tax reduction, the revised tax increase would
amount to 2.11 per cent. According to Johnson, the DWK budget has been, and continues to be, conservatively driven. “The revenue projections in the budget are based on realistic projections, so it’s a conservative approach,” said Johnson. “When the budget was initially created, staff was given the mandate (of) increases being limited to no more than 1.5 per cent.” Notable changes in the 2012 budget include a growth rate adjustment from two per cent to 1.24 per cent, conservative in-
terest revenue added to reserves and the inclusion of an RCMP liaison officer. The estimated cost, per year, for the RCMP school liaison officer is estimated to be $132,000. The largest increases in the budget are for transit, RCMP and library services. “Those services aren’t driven necessarily by the municipality, those are external agencies. Their costs do get reflected in our budget,” said Johnson. Chief financial officer Jim Zaffino said that this budget includes a 10
year budget plan, which was not present in previous budgets. He said the completion of several master plans gave staff the ability to do the decade projection “With the master plans being finished, there’s a more realistic (projection of) the costs, the time frame, the impact on reserves,” said Zaffino. The only deficiency on the DWK 10-year projections came under the future expenditures category in 2015. However, since council authorized the transfer
of 2008 to 2010 surpluses to reserves earlier in Tuesday’s council meeting, that negative number was replaced by a positive. If council authorizes all the capital requests that are being submitted, it will be able to afford staff’s 10 year projections, said Zaffino. “It’s just a matter of council agreeing on the time frames and what priorities are.” DWK council will begin a detailed budget deliberation session on Jan. 31. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

The District of West Kelowna needs to put more emphasis on roads and road maintenance. That was the message received from the fourth annual West Kelowna Citizen Survey. Other services that West Kelowna residents felt could be improved included sidewalks, growth and development planning, illegal dumping and economic development. The survey was mailed out to 1,000 randomly selected West Kelowna taxpayers; 284 of those surveys were returned to the district. Respondents in three different age categories were polled. Data was collected in the groups of 19 to 54-year-olds, 55 to 64year-olds and those older than 64. Roads were a top concern for all demographics, while the eldest group also listed snow control as a serious issue. In both 2009 and 2010, road maintenance was listed as the top service that did not meet expectations.

Raise consequences for human injuries I had a front row seat to witness the ugly side of insurance this past weekend. No, this isn’t another of my many rants about insurance companies. This time it’s insurance itself that is the problem. Insurance protects us from risk In the case of liability insurance, the risk is that you cause someone injury and have to come up with a bunch of money to fairly compensate the victim. If you have liability insurance, your insurance company pays instead of you. That’s exactly what you buy from ICBC as your basic autoplan insurance. If you run over a child in a crosswalk, you pay a small deductible and ICBC takes care of the rest. Do you see a problem with that? On a strict financial analysis, why bother watching out for
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott kids in crosswalks? So, back to my front row seat. I didn’t see anyone driving blindfolded through a school zone, but what I witnessed was mighty close. My wife and three little monkeys, ages 5, 7 and 10, spent last weekend at Big White. Friends of ours happened to be there as well, but staying in fancier accommodations. Our friends were staying at Sundance Resort. It’s a beautiful place, complete with a waterslide equipped pool and hot tubs. We hung out with them Saturday evening. This is where the front row seat comes in. The pool and hot tubs are out-
side. You highfalutin’ ski resort goers might find this second nature. Not me. In Saskatchewan, where I come from, we frolic in indoor pools in the winter time. On the face of it, relaxing in a hot tub in subzero weather has some appeal. That’s what led us to get into our bathing suits and gingerly walk barefoot down a snow crusted cement walkway. It didn’t occur to me, until my bare feet had completely lost traction, that a fresh layer of ice would be formed every time someone got out of the hot tub and dripped their way down the path. It was absolutely insane. I couldn’t have conceived of a more dangerous walking surface. An adult with a little more foresight than me, stone cold sober, would make an informed decision to stay the heck away from that hot tub. Fail to do so, and you
would be assessed partly at fault for being the author of your own misfortune. Adults staying at a resort can be expected to take down a bit of alcohol. Loss of sobriety brings about a corresponding loss of judgment. This is also a family resort. There were kids in the hot tub. Their parents would have allowed them out to swim, reasonably expecting a safe resort environment. How could such a dangerous situation be allowed to exist? I blame it on insurance. The owners are not financially motivated to carefully assess such dangers because their liability insurance has eliminated the financial risk such dangers pose. You might hope that the insurance company would be financially motivated to ensure such a dangerous situation is
“At the risk of blowing our own horn, I just want to call attention to the fact that we have this significant amount of surplus…to me it is a very clear indication of very conservative and careful financial management in the first few years of our tnew district.” t Mayor Doug Findlater wanted to make sure that the money wasn’t locked down and council could change its mind
about what the funds could be used for if alternate opportunities presented themselves. “Council can change it at any time,” explained chief financial officer, Jim Zaffino. In 2008, the DWK earned a $2.96 million surplus; in 2009 the surplus was $987,268; in 2010 the district brought in a surplus of $1.99 million. The 2011 year-end results are not known yet.

FINAL WINTER
Council wants to spend surplus in a conservative, careful fashion Funds from A29
rectified, but obviously that hope is misplaced. Insurance companies spread their risk over hundreds and thousands of properties and collect premiums sufficient to pay out the odd head injury. How do we expect property owners, and drivers for that matter, to be accountable with liability insurance in play? In my view, there ought to be more significant consequences to causing another human being to suffer an injury than paying a deductible. What do you think about a forehead tattoo? Any other ideas?
