Food bank unveils donation drive

Hard for students to find shelter

Kathy Michaels

Students thrust into high-end housing markets need someone to help them find shelter before hitting the books, a UBC Okanagan graduate says. In conducting research for his masters degree in human geography, Jamie McEwan said he unearthed horror stories on the lengths some students need to go to find a place to live in Kelowna. McEwan conducted 30 interviews in an exploratory case study of students aged 18 to 30 searching for rental housing in 2009 and was told by his interview subjects they knew of six to eight people sharing a one-bedroom apartment and even one person who pitched a tent off campus while attending UBCO. “Students are coming here thinking that within two weeks to a month they will be able to find housing for the year and it’s simply not happening,” McEwan said. Today the rental rate within the city is returning to a more normal vacancy of four to six per cent, but once the housing market heats up again, McEwan figures the affordability crisis—which saw the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation peg Kelowna at a zero vacancy rate in some years—will only be worse. With development in a slump and numbers on both the UBCO and Okanagan College campuses rising, McEwan sees an unprecedented supply and demand problem on the horizon within the next five years. This could send prospective Okanagan post-secondary recruits to easier housing markets to seek a degree or push even more of those students who do attend school in the area to leave immediately after graduation, he warned. And he is concerned there is not enough being done to address the problem. “It’s great you can guarantee on-campus housing for the first year, but there’s a responsibility to let people know…there are some affordability issues in the housing market,” McEwan said. He noted that he spoke with international students who were blown away by the difficulty of attaining a

Word that the economy is improving may be heartening, but it’s not putting food on the tables of those who are still suffering from the recession’s fallout. “We had a family who were offered a job in Kelowna, moved here and when they arrived the job was no longer available because of the recession,” said the Salvation Army’s Maj. Ron Cartmell. “They started living off the revenue of the sale of their home.” In time, they had to figure out how to put food on the table and that’s when they turned, begrudgingly, to Kelowna’s support organizations. It’s the type of story frontline workers are seeing again and again, he explained, during the unveiling of the Rotary Club of Kelowna’s new food drive—the Canstruction project. It’s intended to raise $15,000 of cash and 30,000 cans of food to be divided among the Sal-

W MIDDLE VERNON CREEK

Best kokanee run in a decade registered at local creek Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

This year’s migration of kokanee salmon in Middle Vernon Creek is bucking the trend established by other Okanagan streams this year, and it appears to be the run of the decade. Stock assessment biologist Paul Askey with the environment ministry said the last big run of kokanee in that system was in 1999 when 20,000 were counted. This year, that was the total number counted in the run in both Mission Creek and the Mission Creek spawning channel, which see an average of 24,000 fish. In fact, numbers in all streams in the Okanagan basin are down with a total of less than 30,000

stream spawners in all the basin’s streams, a figure that’s below average for the entire basin. Last year was also not a good year for the Mission Creek numbers, so Askey says he wasn’t expecting this would be a big year either. He speculated nutrients in Okanagan Lake are down, partly due to the drought cycle in the valley, when low water levels don’t wash nutrients in to the main lake. Shore spawning kokanee have just begun to move toward the shorelines of their birth to lay their eggs in the gravel before dying. They are later returning to spawn than the stream spawners. Kokanee are a landlocked sockeye salmon, and return every four years to the spot where

Club have done habitat improvements over the years to help the kokanee survive their return

to Middle Vernon Creek, and they also have a licence to take 80,000 eggs to raise in an incubator off

the creek and return to the creek in the spring, to enhance stocks. Rick Simpson, the club’s fisheries chair and also co-chair of the fisheries committee for the Okanagan region for the B.C. Wildlife Federation, says water issues in the Middle Vernon Creek area have created many problems over the years. However, this year, water flows were improved by trapping beaver out of the creek and destroying dams they’d built, which stopped the flow of water. That’s not the only reason for the large number of kokanee counted this fall in Middle Vernon Creek creek, though, he believes, “there are many different theories about why,” he said. “Ice fishing hits them

hard—that age class, and Wood Lake didn’t freeze over last year so there was no ice fishing. You rob Peter to pay Paul. It makes sense that it makes a difference if you’re taking a lot of fish in winter.” He says some club members have observed anglers out on the lake ice fishing who were catching and keeping far more fish than their limit. In fact, they made no attempt to hide the fact they had dozens of fish, he noted. In the last few years, he said the creek also stopped flowing from Duck Lake due to too much water being removed for agricultural use or because of beavers damming it. “(Beaver) are very determined,” he said. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Tree hazards are thinned out Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

High priority areas for fuel management within the Regional District of Central Okanagan are getting treatment with the help of a combined provincial and federal grant. Parks Services director Murray Kopp said two crews of five workers will be thinning, pruning and removing hazardous trees. The trees are among other potential fire fuels to be removed from the area’s regional parks. RDCO chairman Robert Hobson noted Glen Canyon Regional Park, where fuel removal work is being done, is an area of particular concern. “Fire in canyons is a real concern,” he noted. Homeowners will toss material over the edge from their properties. The dead trees and brush can provide a ladder for fire to travel upwards. Hobson noted much of the fuel management work focuses on parks in interface areas, where people live in close proximity to forests. “We have to try and make them as safe as possible.” The $249,590 grant from the Canada/BC Job Opportunities program

allowed the RDCO to hire 10 experienced forest workers to conduct fuel management and trail building. Hobson said the funding is instrumental in allowing the RDCO to provide four months of meaningful employment, while helping the district to reduce identified fire hazards. RDCO communications coordinator Bruce Smith said the workers will be building trails and conducting fuel management work in several regional parks throughout December. “The goal is to reduce the risk of wildfires in parks that interface with neighborhoods, such as Glen Canyon Regional Park, Mission Creek Regional Park and Scenic Canyon Regional Park.” msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

Controlled burns planned Controlled burns will be conducted in the coming weeks in the vicinity of the 2009 Terrace Mountain wildfire, officials with the Kamloops Fire Centre announced Monday. “When the burns are conducted will depend on appropriate weather and venting conditions,” said fire information officer Michaela Swan. During the rehabilitation of fire guards last season, numerous large piles of woody debris were created, she noted. The chance that this prescribed burning will cause a wildfire is minimal, Swan said. The piles to be burned are located above Westside Road, in the area north and south of Fintry Provincial Park, near where the 2009 Terrace Mountain wildfire was most visible to residents.

MPH not km/h proves expensive An American tourist who was driving in miles per hour instead of kilometres per hour had his vehicle impounded for a week for excessive speed after he was clocked going 90 miles an hour in an 80 kilometre-per-hour zone. That works out to approximately 149 kilometres per hour. The man was also prohibited from driving for 24 hours as a result of drug influence, police said Monday as they highlighted the work of traffic officers over the weekend. In addition to that case, four drivers lost driving privileges for 90 days and had their vehicles impounded for a month, said police. The first 90-day roadside prohibition was handed out Friday to a person who was driving while impaired, and two more lost driving privileges on Saturday. On Sunday, a driver of a Cadillac Escalade refused to provide a breath sample after being detained for driving while impaired and was given a 90-day roadside suspension and lost his ride for 30 days. Charges of driving while impaired and refusing to provide a breath sample are being sought. As well, the man didn’t have a valid driver’s licence, resulting in a $138 ticket, said RCMP Const. Steve Holmes. Also that day, one of two black Harley Davidson motorcycles that were seen speeding on Highway 97 near Gordon Drive was intercepted and the driver received a seven-day impound for excessive speed, plus a ticket worth $368 and another ticket for restriction violations because he was a learner driver. Then, when police contacted a judicial justice of the peace about the alleged street racing behaviour of the driver, the JJP tacked on a 15-day driving prohibition, Holmes said.

W COURT

Responsibility for tragedy likely far outweighs driving infraction sentence Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

The “unpopular” discussion about how to assess if elderly members of society should still have a driver’s licence was raised in a Kelowna courtroom during the Monday sentencing of an 86-year-old man who caused a crash that killed his wife and another person. Bahram Aidun was initially charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death following the Jan. 13, 2007,

crash on Boucherie Road, but his lawyer entered a plea of guilty on his behalf to the lesser included Motor Vehicle Act offence of driving without due care and attention. Aidun, who would have needed an interpreter, is severely deaf and walks with a cane, was excused from attending court for the hearing. On the day of the crash Aidun, then 83, drove down the relatively steep Boucherie Road toward Highway 97, as he had most days for the previous

27 years, accompanied by his wife of 56 years. About a minute before the crash, said Crown counsel Norm Yates, witnesses reported Aidun’s 2001 Honda Accord was being driven “recklessly” on the snow covered road. One person reported Aidun’s car passed on a curve against the flow of traffic. “It was crazy speed— like death wish speed,” Yates said as he recounted another witness’s statement. Aidun crashed head on into a Pontiac Sunfire, killing his 75-yearold wife, Khorshid, and the 63-year-old passenger of the Sunfire, Nikolaus Holl. Aidun himself was badly injured, and was in a coma for six weeks following the crash. A traffic analyst estimated Aidun’s speed at a minimum of 90 kilometres per hour. Defence lawyer Kelly Christiansen said there was no evidence that Aid-

un braked and although he doesn’t remember what happened, she suggested that Aidun may have hit an icy patch and stepped on the gas instead of the brake. “I think its easy to say that’s exactly what happened,” concluded Judge Robin Smith. Aidun, a Ba’hai who fled Iran during the Islamic revolution before coming to Canada, is a “very, very careful driver,’” said Christiansen. “He’s never been in an accident. He’s never had a speeding ticket,” she said. “He would never drive in a way that would endanger his beloved wife or anyone else.” “Words cannot express his sorrow over what happened.” Christiansen said Aidun got a physical from his doctor annually to maintain his driver’s licence. Still, “he probably ought not to have been driving,” said Judge Smith.

During the Crown’s sentencing submissions, Yates said the driver of the car Aidun hit didn’t want Aidun to go to jail, but rather wanted changes to provincial regulations surrounding licensing elderly drivers. Smith noted that “perhaps it’s not enough to just produce a doctor’s letter,” to maintain a licence. “It would not be unreasonable to require driving tests as well as physicals,” he said.

Alcohol helped fuel escalation of fight Alcohol was a contributed factor in a fight that broke out at the bear statue in Stuart Park shortly before midnight on Friday. Three men, two in their 20s and one aged 52, were walking by the park when they heard bottles breaking. “One of the males went to investigate and got into an argument with a female youth who was with four other youth,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The situation escalated into a fight involving all seven boys and men. Police were called in to break up the fight, which sent the 52-year-old to hospital with head and possibly chest injuries. Holmes said alcohol was a contributing factor as the men had just left a local pub and were on their way to another drinking establishment when the fight broke out.

W PANDOSY STREET

Council rejects staff advice, goes with development proposal Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Plans for a development that would offer housing and services to both patients and employees of Kelowna General Hospital has moved one step closer to reality. Kelowna’s councillors unanimously voted in favour of moving the proposal to a public hearing, despite a recommendation from city staff to set it aside because the 2,100-block of Pandosy Street is already beset with traffic issues. “The land use implications and servicing issues associated with this project are too significant to provide support for the

proposed project in this location,” said Shelley Gambacort, the city’s land use management director. But councillors said the benefits of the facility warrant that the project move along in its approval process. “The need is great,” said Coun. Robert Hobson, who noted his family is currently experiencing the strain that comes with caring for an ill family member and from that alone, he can see where the community demand lies. Coun. Kevin Craig said he too sees the need, noting that during recent public meetings about agri-tourism sites that offer RV parking, the issue

came up. “RV parks are being used by people seeking medical treatment,” he said. “There’s not enough space.” The proposal includes a four-storey mixed use building with 43 residential units above and approximately 1,152 square metres of commercial space located on the ground floor. The proposed development would provide a mix of ownership and rental units and the rental units would be for both shortand long-term tenants.

W EDUCATION

Student housing is in short supply Shelter from A1 home when they arrived in town. The UBCO Student Union has tried to offer an online, off-campus housing service, but manager Rob Nagai said the union couldn’t make it fly.

“We poured quite a bit of money into it…(but) it didn’t work in this kind of housing market,” he said. The union couldn’t find landlords ready and willing to list; subsequent efforts to operate a manual posting board at the UBCSCO have brought

similar results. “We haven’t seen a lot of postings because they do get snatched up pretty quick,” Nagai said, adding “It’s definitely a problem.” McEwan believes the situation is creating a negative stereotype of student

renters in the valley. With students cutting corners by adding extra bodies into apartments and some admittedly treating university with a fraternity-type party mentality, this demographic now comes with a stigma for landlords, he said. UBCO says it is trying to address the problem and has, in fact, just commissioned a study to look at all of their students’ housing needs. When the university opened in 2005, a commitment was made to expand campus housing by 1,000 beds and as of this September the institution has exceeded the goal by 465 beds and hope to have 1,700 open by August of 2011 with the new $15-million student residence building currently under construction. Associate director of public affairs, Bonnie Bates Gibbs, said the market housing study commissioned should help inform the community as a whole what the best next-

Jamie McEwan says he came up with an idea to create a housing liaison for students who need to find off-campus accommodation in Kelowna’s tight rental market. steps should be to fulfill student housing needs. “We have heard some of the challenges, but we also have a lot of students who are interested in on-campus housing,” she said. “The speed of the build-out has been extraordinary.” Bates Gibbs said housing is an ongoing issue for the university and one the institution does

not take lightly; though any decision making will have to wait for completion of the study. McEwan suggests it will likely take more than just the college and university’s attention to solve the problem. He suggested the city’s politicians need to seriously consider a blanket legalization policy for secondary suites and that both the provincial and

federal government need to step in an help communities burdened with an affordable housing crisis. In the meantime, he’s suggesting a housing liaison for students should be put in place—perhaps even one operated as a non-profit organization— so newcomers to the area might find Kelowna a fruitful place to stay-on after graduation. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

“My message to the gangs is that if it’s your idea that you’re going to work in British Columbia, or if you’re going to operate as a gang in British Columbia, we’re going to make your situation very, very uncomfortable.” —Supt. Tom McCluskie, head of the Lower Mainland’s Integrated Gang Task Force

Task force applies pressure on gang activities Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

Members of the Lower Mainland’s Integrated Gang Task Force were patrolling Kelowna’s streets over the weekend in what they say is an effort to “stay ahead” of the gang activity in this community. “My message to the gangs is that if it’s your idea that you’re going to work in British Columbia, or if you’re going to operate as a gang in British Columbia, we’re going to make your situation very, very uncomfortable,” said Supt. Tom McCluskie, head of the

Gang members have been known to vacation in Kelowna, and the Hells Angels also have a clubhouse established in the community. Officers on the weekend pointed out the hangout for the King Pin Crew and it is also believed the Throttle Lockers have a presence here. As well, earlier this year a former member of

and how they bring their money in,” said Corp. Eldon Orregaard, when asked about Kelowna’s gang presence. Police note there are uncharted drug markets in the Okanagan, and say various gangs have estab-

lished themselves here to take advantage of that. “They’ll go to any community where there’s a dollar to be made and either move in themselves or establish a relationship with a group that’s already there,” said Sgt.

Shinder Kirk, media relations officer for the police unit. As well, police acknowledge another reason for gang activity in this region is displacement. “Some of the gangs in the Lower Mainland have

had a considerable pressure from the police down there with focused gang units all over the Lower Mainland,” said McCluskie. “This gives them perhaps a little less police focus up here because it’s

relatively new to the area.” “Our message to them is no, we’re all over the province…It doesn’t matter where you plan on going, we’re going to be there with you.” cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

Those eligible to burn (properties one hectare or larger) must have an approved permit from their local fire authority and must first call the Outdoor Burning Hotline (250-470-5155) to determine whether burning is allowed on a particular day. The Venting Index must be 65 or greater and the Air Quality Index 25 or lower before igniting any permitted fire. As the valley has unique weather conditions and topography and venting is rarely good in the morning, it’s recommended that approved burning take place in late morning or early afternoon.

BreakOut West venues may be varied, but more of them seem to be facing a common problem—the inability to serve alcohol during the festival. Last week representatives from the Kelowna all-ages club, the Habitat, announced its beer-taps would run dry throughout the music festival and into the next month as it serves a penalty doled out to it by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch. Now Cush supper club, a spot self-described

as “a sexy throwback to the golden era of Hollywood,” will be a lot drier than the age it’s paying homage to, starting Saturday when it pays for an infraction that occurred last April. According to the Liquor Control and Licensing branch, Cush, like the Habitat, failed to live up to the terms of its food-primary liquor licence, which requires that meals are readily available throughout all hours of operation. “Two liquor inspectors entered the establishment at approximately 11:30 p.m. posing as patrons for

the purpose of conducting a covert inspection,” said the report from the liquor board. “They each ordered and were served an alcoholic beverage, took a seat at a table and observed the operation of the establishment. There was only a cocktail menu on the table. There was no food being served to patrons in the establishment and the kitchen appeared to be closed. They asked for a food menu and were advised by an employee, later identified as being the manager, that the kitchen had closed 15

minutes earlier.” In addition to the food supplies drying up, inspectors saw a member of the band who was playing, drink a beer and that’s also not permitted. It means Cush will be a dry establishment starting Saturday and going forward for another 13 days. BreakOut West events scheduled for Thursday and Friday at the establishment will be business as usual, but the five performances on Saturday it will be alcohol-free. Calls to Cush went unanswered.

W SMOKING BAN

Smoke pits for some city parks Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

While smokers are running out of places to light up, one exception has been made. As city council moved forward with an extension of the smoking ban for “natural” areas to include all city-owned parks and beaches, park services manager Ian Wilson said there will be a few exceptions when the bylaw it goes into effect next February. Each park larger than

15 hectares will have a designated smoke pit. That means City Park, Parkinson Recreation Park, Mission Recreation Park and Guisachan Heritage Park, will be mostly smoke-free. The exception will give the plan a $23,000 price-tag and Wilson said those funds will be used for education, signage and installation of ashtrays in designated areas. “Assuming the funding for the signage and the education is approved, that would allow us to

ROAD SHOW

give a little bit of lead time for bylaw to be able to get the information out and before they start enforcing this,” said Wilson. The bylaw had already been introduced to council, but parks staff did some tweaking based on concerns raised by council about the need for smokepit areas. When the issue was initially raised, Wilson said most Canadians were in support of smoking bans. Referencing a study aimed at sussing out the issue, Wilson said 75 per

cent of Canadians favoured smoke free beaches and parks. About 68 per cent of smokers were even onboard with the idea. That widespread support to end smoking in parks and beaches was reflected among councillors, who voted unanimously to extend the ban. Kelowna is among 39 B.C. municipalities that already have anti smoking bylaws in place, instituted on arguments for greater public health and pursuing a cleaner environment.

Ask a top local band like the 2010 Peak Performance Project winners We Are The City, and they’ll probably tell you there’s an art to selling out a venue in Kelowna. And since this is the city hosting the Western Canadian Music Awards and BreakOut West music festival this week, it seems there’s an art to selling out major music events as well. “We did some research and we know this city tends to be last minute,” said Rick Fenton, executive director of the Western Canadian Music Alliance, as he resisted inquiries for ticket sale numbers on Monday. Narrowing in on the level of public response to either the BreakOut West festival, which showcases bands from across

nesters@nestersmarket.com/www.nestersmarket.com

and head counts. But when all is said and done, there will be an accounting of how much support Kelowna’s WCMA organizing committee manages to muster. In order to land the event, the organizing committee had to secure a $40,000 investment from the City of Kelowna, and another $80,000 from other levels of government and industry. As such, Kelowna’s Economic Development Commission has already partnered with an Okanagan College business class to evaluate the economic impact of the event. Where awards shows like the Junos attract $30,000 follow-up studies delineating exactly how much cash the event brought in, that kind of money isn’t available in this case, said Robert Fine, executive director of the Economic Development Commission. But the students’ work should minimally show whether the event was worth the effort from a numbers point of view, Fine said. Beyond those findings, there will also be a harder to quantify effect on the local music scene. From the opportunities presented for Centre for Arts and Technology student recruits working on the shows; to the networking opportunities for those working in the local music industry, and the impact of showcasing Kelowna’s music venues to bands looking for new tour stops; this week’s efforts are expected to secure Kelowna’s place on the Western Canadian music map. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Stinging defeat for Sun Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

One day soon, Mark Hester will be able to put his final season of junior football into perspective. But for now, in the wake of Sunday’s gutwrenching defeat in the B.C. Football Conference final, the Okanagan Sun receiver remains in state of mild disbelief. “It doesn’t really feel like it’s supposed to be finished yet,” said Hester, a Mt. Boucherie product who is one of nine players graduating from the program. “You set out to win a championship, then when you don’t, it’s a little confusing. It was all picture perfect—we finished first, we got home field advantage, we were ready to win it all. The way it turned out…it’s an empty feeling.” With close to 2,500 mostly orange-clad Okanagan faithful in attendance on a sunny day at the

Apple Bowl, the stage appeared ideally set for the Sun to claim its first BCFC crown in six years—and to end the Vancouver Island Raiders’ four-year reign in the process. But, in what was a nail-biter from start to finish, miscues and missed opportunities saw to it that 2010 would not be the Year of the Sun. With the potential winning points on the tee from 48 yards away, Steven Shott’s field goal attempt on the game’s final play sailed wide left, and the Raiders had a 16-14 win for their fifth straight conference title. “That’s the pressure that comes with the territory as a kicker,” said head coach Peter McCall “It’s all going to be your shoulders at the end like that. Shooter’s (Shott) a great kicker, he’s the best kicker in the league and to line it up to win the game, even in the professional ranks, it happens all the time that

guys miss from that range. Shooter’s a great athlete and he’ll be back to play more football.” Shott, the BCFC allstar kicker who set a national junior record with a 57-yard field goal earlier this season, was good on just two of six field goal attempts on Sunday. One of them was blocked late in the first half which the Raiders later converted into their only touchdown of the day. Still, Shott’s last-ditch attempt may not have been necessary if not for a major foul by the Sun with under two minutes to play. A roughing the kicker call allowed the Raiders to retain possession inside Sun territory. With 28 seconds left in the game, Mark Mueller booted a 28-yard field goal to put Vancouver Island ahead to stay. “It was a critical error that definitely affected the outcome of the game,” McCall said of the roughing the kicker penalty.

DAVE CONNOR/CONTRIBUTOR

OKANAGAN SUN’S Andrew Lacasse lunges at Vancouver Island’s Aaron Davies on a punt return during the BCFC final Sunday at the Apple Bowl. “But we also left a lot of points on the field and there were some momentum swings that hurt us. I think we outplayed them. The scoreboard doesn’t show it, but it’s reality and

it’s something we’re going to have to stomach and get through together as a team.” While the heartbreak and agony of Sunday’s defeat is sure to linger

for some time to come, there’s no denying the Sun took some siginificant steps forward in the last 12 months—from a 6-4 record and a fourth-place finish in 2009, to a 9-1 rec-

ord and a first-place showing in 2010. And McCall expects the pain and lessons learned this season will only See Sun A19

Huska to guide WHL team vs Russians Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Ryan Huska’s international coaching resume continues to expand. The Kelowna Rockets’ bench boss was named this week as the head coach of Team WHL for the Subway Super Series against the Russians next month in Kamloops and Prince George. Last year, Huska served as an assistant for the Team WHL vs Russia games played in Kelowna and Victoria. It’s the latest chapter in Huska’s association with Hockey Canada. The 35-year-old Rocket coach is also an assistant on the Team Canada staff for the World Junior Hockey Championship this December in

Buffalo. This summer, he was in St. John’s for the Canadian junior team development camp. “What it comes down to is Hockey Canada wants their world junior coaches to get some more experience before the Ryan Huska worlds,” said Huska. “This series is a great way to do that. It’s a real honour to be selected.” Huska will be joined on the Team WHL staff

for the two-game series by Portland’s Mike Williamson, Guy Charron of the Kamloops Blazers, Dean Clark of Prince George. In addition, Huska will have the league’s best on-ice talent at his disposal. “It’s exciting for me to have the opportunity to work with some great young players,” said Huska. “It’s also a chance work with some great coaches from around our league.” It’s all part of what will be a busy winter for Huska who will be gone for the better part of a month during the world juniors. Still, Huska insists the Kelowna Rockets will continue to be his main focus. “Our first priority is our team here,” said Huska. “I have to be thankful for our management and ownership for the opportunity and allowing me to do this…and as always our team

comes first. When I am gone, we have a very capable and detailed group of coaches who will be looking after things.” Team WHL will play Russia Nov. 17 in Kamloops and Nov. 18 in Prince George.

Warriors home stand The Westside Warriors look to take advantage of some home cooking as they play their next three BCHL games inside the friendly confines of Royal LePage Place. The Warriors will take on the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Friday and the Merritt Centennials on Saturday night. Puck drop for both games is 7 p.m. Head coach and GM Darren Yopyk is glad his club is back in West Kelowna after a frustrating night in Powell River on Saturday resulted in a 3-1 loss. Yopyk said the Kings were awarded a goal late in the first period that, in the Warriors’ view, didn’t

‘What doesn’t kill you...’ Sun from A18 benefit the club in the years to come. “You live to play another day, and what doesn’t kill you makes stronger,” he said. “This is an unbelievable team, an unbelievable organization and we’ll get better from this. We’ll be a better football team next year.” For nine graduating members of the team, the Cullen Cup game marked their last moments in a Sun uniform. With the exception of the final outcome on Sunday, there isn’t much fifthyear defensive back Jesse Warawa would change about his days in orange and brown. “The best time of my life was here,” said Warawa, the KSS grad and Sun’s career interceptions leader with 18. “I mean unfortunately, a ring didn’t follow, but you can’t always get it your way. I’d played the best I could for five years. Big kudos to the Sun organization, even though the (Raiders) won five times in a row, I would never think about switching this jersey and playing for them. I always would stay with the Sun.” The Sun also bids farewell to graduates Matt Scheurwater, Mark Hester, Charles Henderson, Aaron Goddard, Dylan Matheson, Nemanja Miskin, Colin Kruger and Charles Adams. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

come close to crossing the line. Westside also spent much of the second and third periods shorthanded after being hit with nine of the last 13 penalties. “It was one of those games where you knew you where definitely in somebody else’s building,” said Yopyk. “It was frustrating, but we’re anxious to get back home.” Grayson Downing scored his team-leading 10th goal of the season in the loss, while goalie Kevin Boyle stopped 39 shots. The weekend started on a more positive note, with Downing, Brett McKinnon, Tyler Brickler, and Matt Cronin scoring the goals as the Warriors

rallied Friday from a 2-1 deficit to beat the Coquitlam Express 4-3. It ended a three-game losing streak. “It was a good effort by the guys to come from behind,” Yopyk said. The Warriors have been battling a number of injuries which Yopyk said have hampered his club’s progress in the early going. Defenceman Tom Kroshus has been sidelined for three weeks with an upper body injury, but is now day-to-day and could be back soon. “Tom’s the quarterback of our power play, so we’ve missed him.” Despite being a point below the .500 mark through 15 starts (6-7-11), Yopyk is reasonably happy with his team’s play. “We’re actually playing pretty well right now, I think better than our record shows,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of games early on the road. It’s nice to be back home with a week to practise. It gives us time to focus and work on some things.”

Owls-Bears clash in high school football Friday High school football’s Battle of the Bridge will be featured this Friday night at the Apple Bowl. The Kelowna Owls (2-0) will take on the Mt. Boucherie Bears (1-0) in Okanagan AAA Conference action. With an overall record of 4-1 and led by the dynamic Taylor Loffler, the No. 4 ranked Owls have proven themselves to be one of the province’s powerhouses this season. Still, Bears’ coach Mike Godwin expects a hard-fought game that will, in all likelihood, decide first place in the valley. “We never seem to have blow out games whenever we play, either way,” said Godwin. “I think we know each other pretty well. In order for us to take a run at first, we have to get through KSS. It’ll be intense.” Owls coach Roy An-

derson agrees. “Mike’s right,” said Anderson. “It’s doesn’t matter when we play, we expect a tough game. They’re a tough team, they’re always prepared, so it’s a game our guys really need to put their heads into. We’re looking forward to it.” Kick off on Friday is 7 p.m.

OWLS 49 SOUTH KAMLOOPS 7

Taylor Loffler threw two touchdown passes and returned a punt 45 yards for another as the Owls rolled past South Kamloops Friday at Hillside Stadium. Sam Davies caught one of the TD passes and ran for another. Carter Bilawchuk had a touchdown catch and Brook Blackmore returned an interception for the other major as KSS led 34-0 at the half. Grade 10 running back

Nathan Brown added 103 yards rushing. On defense, Cole Mosychuk had four tackles and a fumble recovery. “It’s always nice to beat Kamloops,” said coach Roy Anderson. “They were at the top of our league for a long time.”

BOUCHERIE 40 RUTLAND 6

It was a night filled with emotion for the Mt. Boucherie Bears who won their regular season opener Friday over the Voodoos. At half-time at the Apple Bowl, a memorial ceremony was held for Makwala Derrickson-Hall, the Mt. Boucherie student and friend to many Bears players who was killed this summer in a rodeo accident. “Rutland demonstrated a ton class and sportsmanship in giving up a good portion of their half-

time to take part in honouring Makwala,” said Bears coach Mike Godwin. “All in all it was a great night of football in the Apple Bowl with both teams playing very hard in front a large and noisy crowd. It was great to see that kind of support and school pride from

both sides.” On the field, Mikhail Maloff scored three touchdowns—two in the opening quarter on runs of 80 and 25 yards—as the Bears cruised to the 34-point victory. On defense, Boucherie’s Wes Geisler was a standout with three inter-

ceptions and eight tackles. Ryan Urlacher caught a 30-yard pass from Cochrane for a TD, while Cochrane and Ryan Kraeker also scored majors along with ground. Quarterback John Cochrane also scored a pair of majors along the ground, while passing 30

VALLEYVIEW 22 OKM HUSKIES 16

A couple of fumbles inside the red zone and some key penalties cost the OKM Huskies who dropped to 1-2 in Okanagan AA play on Friday. The Huskies, who have been hampered by injuries, got both of their touchdowns from Devin Spence. “We had a few guys injured and we had to play a little more conservative than we normally do,” said Huskies coach Jason Farnsworth. “We were limited on what we were able to do both offensively and defensively. “It was a good allround game, though,” he said. “Both teams played hard.” Farnsworth credited his D-line, led by Geoff Ansell, for a solid effort against Valleyview’s aggressive ground attack. The Huskies next home action is an Oct. 29 exhibition matchup against KSS.

Jets open swim season Josh Zakala’s record-breaking swim was among the highlights as the Kelowna AquaJets opened the new competitive swim season at their home pool Oct. 8 and 9. Zakala took down the club record in the 800 freestyle by over 17 seconds at the sprint and distance meet at the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre. As a team, the Jets

swam 78 per cent best times in six events over two days. The Jets were also encouraged by the efforts of Jordan Scott and Chris Gooding tooks their swimming to the next level by qualifying regionally in the 200 individual medley. “It was a great start for the team, and a good opportunity for the kids to

show off the skills they have been working so hard on this past month,” said Jets coach Peter Wilkins. “We have a very committed group of volunteer parents, and dedicated swimmers—when you get that kind of combination the possibilities are endless.” The AquaJets will be in Vernon for a meet this weekend, Oct. 22 to 24.

It just has to get better

he Lower Mainland made international headlines for all the wrong reasons last weekend, after the world’s most famous young pop superstar appears to have become the victim of a bully. Justin Bieber, in town for a concert, was allegedly cornered during a laser tag game in Richmond by another player who, it’s reported, then hurled homophobic insults at the singer. Although he is not gay, the 16-year-old says he felt the sting of the words and has decided to

add his voice to a growing list of celebrities taking part in an online campaign to reassure tormented youths that the pain won’t last forever. The online anti-bullying campaign sprang up in response to a recent rash of suicides by teenagers who were bullied and harassed either because they were gay, or were perceived to be gay. Celebrities whose lives seem so perfect now are speaking from experience. It wasn’t always that way. Their simple message: “It

gets better.” People grow up, they leave school and get on with their lives. They find like-minded people to hang out with and over time, the pain and humiliation become nothing but a distant memory. But try telling that to a teenager who’s being tormented every single day at school. Or try to imagine the dread that must come every day with stepping through those doors, knowing that you’ll be targeted. Homophobic slurs have been

tossed around thoughtlessly for generations. Sometimes they’re meant to wound, other times it’s just something to say. And that’s a large part of the problem, when hurtful words are treated as benign, they become socially acceptable. Society moves slowly, but one day it will become as unacceptable to mock someone about their sexual orientation as it is to put them down because of the colour of their skin. The sooner we get there, the better.

How does this make pigs were more equal, the air we sense? breath in parks, within three metres If a municipality can enforce a noof a doorway and inside public buildsmoking bylaw in parks, why can’t it

do the same on city streets? Interior Health says secondhand smoke from as far away as seven metres can affect another person. So why do we allow any smoking anywhere in public? And, if we as a society are so worried about the ill effects of smoking on individuals and we want to curb health care costs, why don’t we tell all smokers they have to butt out for their own good? As it stands now, a smoker can light up on a restaurant or pub outdoor patio where they will be sitting close to others. But the same smoker is not allowed to light up inside the estab-

lishment where they would likely be sitting equally close to other people. In a park we don’t want smoke wafting over to others enjoying the great outdoors. But on a sidewalk, waiting at a crosswalk or walking past other people, wafting is still deemed to be OK. Then there’s the provincial attitude to smoking. When it comes to tobacco use, the government is simply hypocritical. On one hand it allows the sale of tobacco products and gladly accepts the tax revenue it generates to pay, in part, for the health care system it says is being overly burdened by the ill ef-

fects of smoking. But it also encourages laws banning smoking in some places. This week, Kelowna council gave the nod to a smoking ban in city parks, making it the 39th municipality in B.C. to do so. The space for smokers, it would seem, is shrinking. But if clean air really is the issue, and if outdoor air is really at as much risk as we are led to believe, shouldn’t all the air we breath be protected?

W PROPERTY TAXES

Why are private schools tax exempt when taxes pay for perfectly good public system? To the editor: I wanted to express my opinion on the businesses that apply for property tax exemptions. Although I understand that many organizations, like Interior Health, should be given exemptions because we fund them as taxpay-

ers anyway, and that properties and/or businesses owned by the city (such as H2O center or the library) would be exempt, I disagree that churches, and more importantly private schools, should be given any exemptions whatsoever. Why should I, as a taxpayer, be expected

to subsidize someone else’s desire to pursue a private education when I already pay for a public system? I say no to the exemptions. The City of Kelowna can use the funds for real public needs. D. Warren, Kelowna

What’s the problem? Just pay your taxes To the editor: Further to the letter from Ron Barnard in Oct. 17 Capital News (Tack Double-digit Tax on Cooking Turkey). I would like to point out

that stoves had the provincial and federal tax added before the HST. What is the problem? You paid the same tax as you would have before. Even if the tax

had not applied before, the increase would have been only $97.50. Get used to it or else pay taxes somewhere else. J. Paynter, West Kelowna

W COMMUNITY PARK

Plea for husband’s hard work to be recognized To the editor: I am a Spring Valley resident and live on Gerstmar Road, across from the new park development now in progress. When finished it will be a neighbourhood community park for walkers, with a children play area, tennis court and for families who love to enjoy the nearby Mission Creek Greenway. As a family of eight, my husband Paul Pierron and I moved to Rutland 40 years ago, where we have lived across from the former Seventh Day Adventist Park. The property was well used by adults and neighborhood children, rough as it was. We naturally assumed it would always be a park. Then 10 years ago we were first made aware of some drastic changes planned for this property. It was slated to become a utility yard for Rutland Water Works, even though it was right in the middle of our subdivision and beside the well used Mission Creek

Greenway. My husband and I agreed that we had to do something to try and save it for future generations. To help make our point, Paul was able to obtain a copy of the deed to the property which clearly stated that it had been ‘purchased for a future park.’ We decided it was time to gather the people in the area together in order to voice our opinions. With the aid of a small committee (we) hand delivered flyers. Some time later a meeting was planned by the city, at the ECCO Centre. The large turnout of angry residents far exceeded the city’s expectations as the residents made it quite clear that there was to be no utility yard put in this area. People voiced their surprise and disbelief about the city’s plan for a piece of creek-side property bordering lovely homes and backyards on Tamarack Drive and fronting on Gerstmar Road. They also couldn’t

believe our Greenway on Mission Creek would be enhanced, as the city assured everyone, with a huge yard full of waterworks supplies and trucks coming and going each day. The idea of destroying this lovely old natural field where children have played, camped and attended Pathfinders and Judo club meetings for more than three decades, meant new generations of children wouldn’t have a lovely large safe space to play in. My husband became park chairman of the Rutland Residents Association, and with the help of RRA chairman John Vielvoye, a regular rapport with the city began. Mayor Sharron Shepherd, then a city council member, attended our meetings and was helpful in her support. Paul and a few neighbours decided that we, as a community, must start a petition to save the park. A huge number of

residents signed the petition which forced the city to have a second meeting at the ECCO Centre. The city realized they must rethink their plans for our park. After some six years, the city and regional district drew up plans to give residents a say in how the property could be changed for the good of the community. The drafted plans were put on display (and) all were invited to submit ideas as to what facilities the park should have. At a further meeting three suggested plans for the park were displayed for residents to select one. It took a lot of planning, time and adequate funding but now, 10 long years later, we actually have a new park almost finished, which will make a wonderful addition to the Mission Creek Greenway and a safe place for young mothers to take their children. I am happy and proud that my husband Paul, with the support of so

many area residents and the Rutland Residents Association, was able to save this special piece of land that had been designated as a future park by the city many years before. I believe that he, because of his sincere interest and energy, was the main reason we have this lovely planned park becoming a reality today. When the park is dedicated, I, as his wife of 56 years and mother of our six children who grew up in the Spring Valley area, hope that the people arranging the opening will also remember Paul and have his name printed on one of the special plaques to be installed there. This will enable people to know that my dear, hard-working husband, who started the lovely idea of saving this old field for the future of Spring Valley, Rutland and Kelowna citizens, will be remembered for his love of this special place.

W ADOPT A RESCUE DOG

Headline sends wrong message Express yourself To the editor: You printed my letter in the Oct. 15 Capital News. You entitled my letter Buy Puppies Only From Registered Breeders. This title is completely contradictory to what is stated in my letter. I have clearly stated in the letter to “Please adopt a rescued dog.” I am completely opposed to any kind of breeding, registered or otherwise, to produce puppies when there are so many homeless dogs available, and will not

have my name associated with puppy breeding of any kind. You have completely misrepresented me and the intention of my letter which is to stop the puppy mill/puppy breeding industry. Please read the letter carefully. Because my name appears, my viewpoint was misrepresented by the headline. Linda Danners, Kelowna

Heritage Society strikes new chord Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The Central Okanagan Heritage Society has decided to sing for its supper.

get creative with its efforts to make up the difference ever since. Hence, at the end of this month, they will offer a concert with the Musical Actors and Singers of Kelowna, Candesca, the KSS Vocal Jazz Choir and the KSS Chamber Choir. “It’s just to sort of bolster us a little bit with funding,” McLarty said.

W GREAT BIG RUN FOR AFRICA

Helping Ethiopian women start their own businesses

and her son in an Ethiopian village belies the reality that life is hard for people in the impoverished African country. In addition to money going towards micro-financing for women to start their own business, like garbage collection, sewing, vegetable gardening and a variety of other small businesses, a separate project will be fund-

for Partners in the Horn of Africa’s micro-financing program. Today, A Great Big Run for Africa is run as a relay each year and from money raised enabling thousands of women to create better lives for themselves and their families through the creation of their own small business with training and a micro-financing loan. Partners in the Horn of Africa works in Ethiopia, the largest country in the Horn of Africa focusing on areas of greatest need —infrastructure improvement, health and welfare, and women’s anti-poverty projects. Partners in the Horn of Africa is a unique, nondenominational, registered Canadian charity because: • 100 per cent of all donations go directly to aid projects in Ethiopia. • The African partner, usually an indigenous charity or a village, is required to contribute 15 to 20 per cent of project costs • Work is focused in the

more remote areas of Ethiopia that are often ignored by other charities Life for women in Ethiopia is hard. Consigned to household chores like fetching water and firewood, young girls have difficulty completing school and often end up as marginalized members of Ethiopian society. One effective way of addressing their plight is to help by providing micro financing loans to underprivileged women so they may support their families and enable their kids to go to school.

In 2004, Alison Moscrop travelled to Ethiopia to visit first hand the projects that Partners in the Horn of Africa were doing to end extreme poverty. One day, awoken in the early morning by the sound of hundreds of people running along the streets of the capital city in Addis Ababa, Moscrop learned that many people in the country participate in races barefoot or in whatever shoes they own just for the love of running. Upon her return to Canada, she wanted to do a fundraiser that incorporated running to support Partner’s projects.

The sixth annual Great Big Run for Africa, a 100 kilometre relay to raise funds for micro-financing in Ethiopia, will be held on Sunday, Oct. 24. Run organizers say there are still a few spots left for people to participate. “The event starts in West Kelowna and travels north along Highway t97 and finishing in Enderby—we need runners who can commit to doing one leg of the run and who will raise pledges and donations for their participation,” said Great Big Run For African coordinator Nicole Rustad. “We’re a core group of committed volunteers who have each been inspired by the individual tstories of women whose lives have been changed tby such small amounts of money coupled with the mentorship, numeracy, literacy and business skills training needed to be successful. “Just $70 is all it takes rto help one women start her own business.”

Owned by the Skoglund family for the past 39 years, the car wash has undergone a complete rebuild from the ground up for the past several months. The operation now boasts a new tunnel that can wash up to 140 vehicles per hour. Vehicles will also be cleaned inside on a new conveyor belt also allowing the service to be much faster. There are eight self-serve bays under one roof, keeping you warm in winter and the new large convenience store is bright and well stocked with all sorts of convenient items. The waiting area offers flat screen TVs and Internet access. The entire corner has dramatically changed and it’s beautiful. Call 250-860-3348; www. skogiesautowash.com. A Kelowna memorial service will be held for our friend, the late Sindi Hawkins, on Oct. 27 at the Kelowna Community Theatre, 1375 Water St., at 2 p.m. Donations in Sindi’s name can be made to the Sindi Hawkins and Friends Educational Endowment Fund through the B.C. Cancer Foundation at 250-712-3921 or www.bccancerfoundation.com.

BARRY GERDING/CAPITAL NEWS

THE SKOGLUND family—dad Dave and sons Chris and Jason—are opening their

renovated new Skogie’s Auto Spa on Underhill Road just off Highway 97 in Kelowna this week. Thru Breakfast. Scallywags have “new” and “old” owners. Original owners Roy and Anne Hulse have come out of semi-retirement to re-open Scallywags Children’s Clothing and Toys at 101-2903 Pandosy St. This year is the 25th anniversary of Scallywags, with Kelowna being their flagship store in B.C.

The shop also offers children’s shoes. The Hulses still own Serendipity next door. Their new phone number is 778-478-0256 or scallywags@shaw.ca. Are you a new business owner/manager in town? A great way to have your business introduced into the community is with Nancy Green and “Business Welcome”

in Kelowna and Lake Country. The idea is to introduce your new business to existing businesses. The new business will be left with tangible gifts from existing businesses and a sponsor directory of all the participating businesses. The sponsors themselves will receive a detailed report of who was visited and informa-

tion about the new business. This is an ideal way to introduce your business to someone new in town. If you are willing to be a sponsor call Nancy at 250-766-4560. Incidentally, Nancy and I were friends in high school at Lord Beaverbrook in Calgary and graduated together (no year available!). The November Uptown After Hours is Wednesday, Nov. 3, from 5 to 7 p.m., at the Salvation Army, at 200 Rutland Road South. Rainbow Innovations Group, a Kelowna company, has their award winning Today I Ate A Rainbow kit, featured in the October issue of the parenting magazine, Canadian Family. This is a huge accomplishment for a product that has been on the market for less than a year.

MOTIVATED STUDENTS…In September, the Grade 9 students from

Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School visited the Kelowna Gospel Mission to garner a greater understanding of what role it plays in the community. The children were so moved by the experience that they decided they had to do something to give back. Thanksgiving provided the perfect opportunity, and they organized and ran a Toonies for Turkeys event at Aberdeen Hall which raised more than $300 for the Gospel Mission. That donation translated into 126 turkey dinners for the gospel mission clients. The Thanksgiving meal this year was “a tribute to the community’s generosity,” said Ami Catriona, marketing and communications director for the Kelowna Gospel Mission. Catriona said having the students at the Mission was a wonderful experience for everyone involved. “It shows the clients that the community cares about them and helps the students understand more about who the people are that use our services. Our clients have families and are someone’s son, daughter, father or mother. If children learn this lesson early in life they grow to become caring considerate members of the community as adults.”

Protecting late night retail employees A

Dealership earns a VALET certification

ccording to WorkSafeBC, robbers do not select their targets randomly. Instead, they consider environmental factors in choosing which stores to rob. Robbers tend to choose targets which reduce the risk of being caught and which present the greatest reward. Businesses, therefore, can reduce their risk of robbery by eliminating those characteristics which make their site attractive to thieves. These seemingly logical premises support the 2008 amendments to B.C.’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. Those amendments were introduced to protect the health and safety of workers who work alone in retail premises, such as gas stations and convenience stores, late at night. The amendments apply to employers who have workers who are working alone or in isolation in retail premises between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. These employers must develop written procedures for handling money and the workers must

LEGAL EASE

Robert Smithson be trained in these procedures. If the worker will be alone, the employer must ensure the worker is physically separated from the public by a locked door or barrier. The employer’s alternative is to have multiple workers employed in the premises during the hours from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. WorkSafeBC has armed itself with the results of numerous studies measuring the impact of such robbery prevention measures on retail premises. A 1975 study measured simple techniques such as reducing the amount of cash on premises, posting signs about the low cash availability, clearing windows to increase inward and outward visibility, increasing lighting inside and out, etc. The study showed a

resulting 30 per cent reduction in robberies at the stores where they were implemented. In 1999, another study found the “interventions” generally recognized as effective deterrents of robbery were “significantly related” to reduced odds of robbery. These so-called interventions included reducing opportunities for con-

cealed escape, increasing visibility to the outside, security systems, cash handling strategies, and other measures. A 2000 study in California, utilizing the same types of robbery preven-

tion techniques, revealed a rate of reduction of robberies in the range of 30 to 84 per cent. The whole point of such measures is to reduce the risk of violence to workers. However, it appears that the amendments to the B.C. Occupational Health and Safety Regulations in 2008 presented some challenges. The concerns raised by retailers include: Adding staff may not be economically viable; the availability of additional workers for late night hours may be limited; and the risk of injury to workers may simply be multiplied by having more workers present in the workplace. As a result, WorkSafeBC is considering adding a third option to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. WorkSafeBC is presently accepting feedback on a third option which might include having a time lock safe on the premises that can’t be opened late at night, storing cash and lottery tickets in the time lock safe during late night hours,

good visibility into and out of the retail premises, limited access to the premises, video surveillance, providing workers with a personal emergency transmitter, etc. It seems beyond any reasonable doubt that implementing measures to discourage robberies increases safety for late night workers. Achieving the right mix of options for retail employers may be the key to getting them to embrace a scheme which surely brings added complexity and cost to their operations.

Kelowna Chrysler Dodge Ltd. is one of 17 autobody repair shops in the province to win a Preimer Achiever Award from ICBC. The premier award earns the business a VALET designation, meaning that These shops achieved customer satisfaction scores in the top four per cent of the approximately 9,000 shops measured from across North America. The VALET certification takes into account ratings on such factors as guarantees of workmanship, providing alternate transportation to customers, free vehicle pickupup and drop-off services, a high quality standard for repairs and customer satisfaction.

Approximately 70,000 ICBC customers of the 428 car shops taking part in the VALET certification program are surveyed annually. “We’re committed to working with our collision repair partners to provide our mutual customers with excellent service and high-quality repairs,” said Craig Horton, ICBC senior vice-president of claims. “We’re extremely proud of the 17 shops that have consistently made customer service a top priority.” On a typical day, there are 730 crashes across the province. That means there’s one crash approximately every two m inutes involving B.C. drivers.

Smaller companies are creating new investment, jobs F â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; or many years, the roles, characteristics and contribu-

tions of the entrepreneur were not a major concern in our society.

More attention was paid to the roles and contributions of large government and companies. It is probably fair to say that, for many years, it was generally assumed that the evolution toward larger and larger companies would continue, both within our domestic economy and in the global village environment. The entrepreneur worked in the background, often frustrated and misunderstood. It is probably also fair to say, that, for many years, we hesitantly generated entrepreneurial development. Our schools didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focus on entrepreneurs and provided little reward and incentive for those who demonstrated entrepreneurial attitude and behaviour. Parents didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often select â&#x20AC;&#x153;entrepreneurshipâ&#x20AC;? as the career of choice for their children. Thus, the world of the

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young entrepreneur was often a lonely and ignored environment. Then things started to change. Barriers and borders started coming down. The global economy had started to skyrocket. Products, services, ideas, money, information, technology and people started moving freely throughout the world. Global competition and opportunity began to accelerate at an incredible speed. We therefore then had no choice but to recognize the changing realities. And what were those realities? Companies began to reorganize, downsize, restructure as they

sought ways to enhance their productivity, performance and competitive position in the marketplace. This led to where the larger corporations ceased to exist as the source of significant employee growth. Many were, in fact, experiencing reduced employment levels themselves. At the same time, governments were now forced into an era of fiscal discipline and restructuring and downsizing which hit the public sector in Canada dramatically. It became obvious that Canada needed to hone its competitive edge. Canada needed more innovation and initiative. Canada needed a new source of employment and income growth. And, Canada needed new hope for our ability to take increased advantage of the evolving global opportunities that were rising rapidly. At the same time, many Canadians were increasingly fearful.

were not secure. Incomes were in jeopardy. All of the rules seemed to change quickly. If you worked hard to get a good education and then devoted yourself to a job, there was now no assurance that you would get to keep that job in your time preference. All of these factors led to one singular placeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; entrepreneurship. In entrepreneurship, governments can see opportunities for improved job and income growth, innovation and new technology, increased export opportunities, larger tax pools and a transition destination for

those losing their jobs in government and industry. Large companies looked increasingly to the services of smaller, entrepreneur-led companies to help them in their efforts to improve service and productivity as well as enhance their competitive edge, both domestically and internationally. They saw, in entrepreneurs, new ideas and innovations that could serve the needs and future of large corporations. And, our fellow Canadians now can see opportunities for new jobs and careers, new income forms, new and seemingly unlimited opportunities for self-realization and new ways to lessen an increased sense of personal vulnerability and insecurity. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s applaud loudly please, the era of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;entrepreneurâ&#x20AC;? is clearly upon us and here to stay.

BUSINESS

W FINANCE

B.C. offers atmosphere conducive to starting a business I think that B.C. still retains some of that ‘wild west’ atmosphere because once people get over those Rocky Mountains, they want to start their own businesses. Sure, B.C. has some major industries and major companies, but I believe that B.C. is driven by small business, which is also why Certified General Accountants (CGAs) have the greatest market share of the accounting sector.

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka CGAs are known for providing a wide range of services depending on the needs of the client. This is complemented because the CGAs educational training is all-

inclusive and in order to receive their designation, their experience level needs to coincide with the level of education obtained and then of course there is the requirement for life long learning. It is quite a fulfilling, challenging and prestigious designation to have, but then I digress. I wanted to talk about how Kelowna has a lot of small businesses and how the type of small business that you have can affect

your tax bill and your accounting bill. Some people don’t hesitate and have a business idea, get a sign painted on their vehicle and get working. At the end of the year, this person brings their box of goodies into the accountant who then needs to sort out the mess. This type of business is called a sole proprietorship in the legal world and many other things that I can’t mention here in the

accounting world. The accountant will need to spend a lot of time sorting out and classifying the receipts and then transferring the information to the tax return before they can even use their technical knowledge to search for any tax advantages for the client. The income from this type of business also gets added to the individual’s personal income and is taxed at the personal rate of tax.

“Discover The #1 Investment SECRET the Big Canadian Banks and Mutual Fund Co.’s PRAY You Never Find Out...” (And That Your Accountant and Financial Planner Cannot Tell You)!

What your banker hopes you never learn. Dear Financially Frustrated Fellow Canadian: The banks and mutual fund companies want to keep you in the dark. I know that those are strong words, and I wouldn’t be so bold in saying them if I couldn’t back it up. The truth of the matter is that I’m really ANGRY and I will NOT keep quiet any longer. My name is Darren Weeks and I want to show you a whole NEW world when it comes to getting ahead financially in Canada. This is the truth about investing that many in the ‘establishment’ really don’t want you to know. Forget what you learned (or didn’t learn) about money and investing in school or from your parents. What worked for their generation no longer works in today’s economy. And take everything you have heard about creating wealth from your banker and financial planner and flush it right down the toilet, because that is where it belongs. The next time your banker or mutual fund sales person (oh, sorry, I meant ‘financial planner’) suggests investing in some ‘wonderful’ mutual fund or stock – ask to see their audited financial statement. Chances are, they have a lot less money than you think (and quite probably a lot less than you have). Why continue to take financial advice from broke salespeople? It doesn’t make any sense. But Why Should You Listen To Me? Good question – you should only take advice from people who are successful, and hopefully more successful than you are. My name is Darren Weeks, and I am proud to say that many of my students across the country call me the “Canadian Rich Dad”. Why? Because the monthly Passive Income (i.e. money I don’t have to work for) from my Investments and Businesses is more than what most Canadians work hard for all year long. It also has to do with the fact that I have a very close association with Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and that I have been sharing my “Canadianized” version of his teachings with hundreds of thousands of Canadians since 2001. I am very pleased that I have been able to show Canadians across the country how to take control of their own finances, and to live life on their own terms. I have spurred dozens of people (if not hundreds now) to become millionaires, or multi-millionaires in 5 years or less. Now I do not take the credit for their success – they took the action and actually did something – and I am just happy that I was able to inspire them in some way. Here are Some Credentials… My companies, The Fast Track Group, were honored to be included in the 2010 Profit Magazine list of the fastest growing companies in Canada. One of my companies is also the official sponsor of the Canadian Luge team, and we attracted quite a bit of notoriety in the press during the recent Vancouver Olympics when it was leaked that I offered anyone on the team a $1,000,000 reward if they won a Gold medal (and my offer still stands for the 2014 games in Russia)! I don’t say this to brag, I just tell you this to credentialize myself a bit, and to give you confidence that I am not some fly-by-night quack out trying to peddle you some modern-day financial ‘snake-oil’. I actually do what I am going to teach you about – it’s not theory – it really works. I’m living proof of it. So are my students.

Darren Weeks, Canadian “Multi-Millionaire” (from Edmonton), is revealing the proven investment strategies he learned personally from Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and has perfected for our unique Canadian situation. Darren is offering an absolutely FREE event in Kelowna on Monday, October 25 to show how you too can become financially independent and be able to do whatever you want...in 5 years or less! (No matter what is happening in the economy). He’s also giving away an Amazing FREE gift to every attendee who brings a guest. His NEW audio CD “The 7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” – a $39.95 value – FREE of charge just for bringing a friend (your guest gets one too)!

Now let’s get back to the point at hand – how YOU can get superior Return On Investment (ROI) on your hard-earned investment dollars. Here’s What Not to Do: If you follow the establishment’s rules, you will… Pay the highest MER’s in the world. Create a house of cards based portfolio, largely reliant on the U.S. dollar. Listen to advisors whose advice is proven to be about as accurate as a monkey throwing darts at stock picks on the wall... Continue to walk ‘blind’ with Banks, Mutual Fund Co’s, and even the Canadian Government wanting to keep you in the dark Think you are happy with returns that don’t even keep up with the real inflation rate (and the ‘official’ inflation calculations are an absolute crock.) Here are the Benefits of DOING IT RIGHT: But... When you learn the New Rules of Investing, you will... Discover that high returns = high risk is not always accurate. See how easy it can be to take control of your own investing without having to pay huge M.E.R’s (management expense ratios) Understand the pro’s and con’s of investing in gold and silver.

for being suspicious...there are a lot of seminar companies out there that do just that. I assure you, I do not. We do have a selection of quality books and resources available if you are interested. But that is not the goal of me putting on this event. My goal is to give you some phenomenal education and information and to hopefully help you to have a complete mind-shift when it comes to money and creating wealth in Canada. One of the biggest lessons I ever learned from my good friend and mentor, Robert Kiyosaki, is this: Give first without expectation of gain, and you will gain a lot in the long run. So, if you like what I say, you may decide you want to do business with my company in the future. Fair enough?

CD (a $39.95 value). This is my gift to you, as my way of thanking you for bringing your spouse or a guest.

Of course, putting on these events is very expensive. So to help defray the costs I have a very few, select sponsors. You get a fantastic financial education, I get to meet you and spread the Rich Dad message, and the sponsors get a few minutes to show you what they do. The best thing is…we all win!

KELOWNA Events at 12-3 pm or 7-10 pm Monday, October 25 The Coast Capri Hotel 1171 Harvey Ave. Here are 2 ways to do it: 1. Register online at: www.KelownaGetRichNow.ca 2. or Call 1-877-RICH CDN (1-877-742-4236) with our 24hr. live operator.

So keep your cheque-book at home, come with an open mind to learn – there is nothing more expensive than a book at this event. How About if I Give You Even More? If I’m going to give away the farm, I might as well go even one step further…so, just for bringing your spouse or a like-minded guest to this FREE event, I want to give you another FREE gift…My “7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” audio

Never want to see another mutual fund or G.I.C. ever again!

Feel comfortable looking at different investment plans that may have baffled you before.

See how Robert Kiyosaki analyzes deals and how you can do the same, easily.

But do you think ultra-rich Canadians pay that much in taxes? Of course not. They know the legal loop-holes to minimize their tax burden or even eliminate it altogether. As a part of this presentation, I will share with you the tax shrinking strategies of the wealthy (even used by one previous Prime Minister). So you can either complain, gripe and gnash your teeth about how unfair it all is, or you can learn the Rules of the Canadian Rich. The Golden Rule when it comes to money is “He (or She) Who Has the Gold...Makes the Rules”. I’m going to level the playing field with what I teach you at this event, so you can play the game of money just like the rich folks do. And Why is This Event FREE? Now if you have ever been to another ‘Free’ financial education seminar before, you are probably worried that I am going to get you all fired up and excited, and then pull the old ‘baitand-switch’ on you about half way through, (and try and sell you some super expensive investment or real estate course/training). I don’t blame you

So if the business was lucrative, then the individual may have jumped to the second or third federal tax bracket, not to mention the HST implications. One benefit of this type business is the ability to write off a portion of the home expenses as a home office if you meet clients in the home and also to write off a portion of the automobile expenses. This type of business usually dies when the tax payer dies. The disadvantage with this type of business is that your accounting bill will usually be quite high. This type of business does not require any legal intervention to start up except those required by the banks. The banks will require that you register your company name and that you operate with a business license before they will open a business bank account for you. On the other hand, other people plan out their businesses, go get some business training, develop a business plan and learn how to do their own bookkeeping either on a spreadsheet or using a computer program such as Simply or the dreaded Quickbooks. These persons may also be operating as sole proprietors, so they will experience the same kinds of tax liability, but because their records are in order when they are brought into the accountant’s office, the tax bill may be less due to the orderly record keeping. In many cases, only the profit and loss is recorded for a sole proprietorship rather than a complete set of financial statements. Two sole proprietors can get together and form a partnership. This can be a partnership based on a handshake or a registered partnership. Again the tax consequences are similar to that of a sole proprietor in that the profits are split between the two partners who pay taxes based on their individual tax brackets. I have found that partnerships are like marriages in that they don’t always work out, so it is a good idea to have some sort of partnership agree-

ment in place in case either party wants to dissolve the partnership. The final type of business is the corporation. If you see Limited, Ltd., Incorporated, Inc., Corporation or Corp after a company’s name that means that they have incorpo-

rated. For tax purposes, the corporation is looked upon as a separate person and there are special tax rates for corporations which if the corporation qualifies as a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation who operates an active business in Canada, they may qualify for the Small Business Deduction. I believe that the B.C. government is aware that our province is run by small business, which is why they have instituted a plan to reduce the corporate tax rates over the next few years which will continue to attract small businesses to B.C. The effect of this is that small incorporated businesses may pay lower taxes than the sole proprietorship. Setting up an incorporated company with the correct share structure to provide for the future can be quite challenging which is why it is a good idea to get the advice of an accountant and a lawyer when setting up your corporation. Although the tax rates may be less for a corporation and there are many tax strategies that may be available, the accounting bill will be more for this type of business due to the complexity of the tax return and the requirement for financial statements.

W HOMEOPATHY

Alternative treatment options for dealing with chronic pain C hronic pain is said to be the most costly health problem in North America, with annual costs exceeding $100 billion including direct medical expenses, lost income, lost productivity, compensation payments and legal charges. Chronic pain affects the ability of a person to put in a full day’s work or affects career advancement. About 75 per cent of people with chronic pain have lived with it for more than three years, and nearly half of people with chronic pain delay talking with a health care provider, thinking the pain may go away or they can just live with the pain, according to a survey from the American Chronic Pain Association. Chronic pain is also

FINDING REMEDIES

John Sherman one of the most serious problems in modern medicine today because of the under utilized options out there for patients. Millions of patients suffer from chronic pain, and many of them cannot relieve their pain without narcotics. Day after day of constant torment drives many to depression or even suicide. Many patients receive enough medicine to provide relief for four hours out of the day, and have to decide which 20 hours of the day they will spend in

extreme pain. There is something to be said for the benefits of modern pain medication if you suffer from an acute pain such as from an accident or surgery—it is almost miraculous. But for people living with chronic pain, the painkillers that have been prescribed stop being effective or can be lethal with long-term use. This is the “Jekyll and Hyde” syndrome of modern pain management—at what point do you realize that, something is missing from the equation? In the past, many pain medications have been recalled due to safety issues. Chronic pain may be triggered by a disease or injury, or the cause may not be clear. Among the more common pain conditions are migraine, back pain

and fibromyalgia, and while there are a number of pharmaceutical and over-the-counter pain medications, there seems to be a point where modern medicine has nothing more to offer a person to help with their ongoing suffering. Increasingly, consumers are turning to complementary and alternative medicine such as homeopathy. Homeopathy helps patients by making their systems less susceptible to pain. This is not to say that the pain will go away overnight. That is an ongoing journey but results will come in a safe and gentle manner and will vary with each individual. According to a recent article at Macleans.ca, homeopathic medicine can

treat just about any form of chronic pain that conventional medicine is unable to treat. With homeopathy, the approach is holistic. The pain is seen as a piece of the larger jigsaw puzzle that is the person’s overall health. In many cases, the source of chronic pain can be a very complex issue to untangle. Although it may begin with an injury or illness, continuing pain can develop a psychological dimension after the physical problem has healed.

W UBC OKANAGAN

Peace Seekers to assist food bank Costumed UBC Okanagan students will go door-to-door on Halloween night in Glenmore this year to collect nonperishable food items for the Kelowna Community Food Bank. “Peace Seekers is a campus club at UBCO that encourages activism and awareness around issues of social justice and the environment,” said club organizer Tyler Gingrich. “It can be easy to miss those of us who are in need. “We, as members of this community must be aware of the need around us and must work to support everyone. “Giving to the food bank is one way to address this.” This year will be the fifth annual All Saints Lutheran/Peace Seekers “Trick or Eat” Halloween Food Bank drive. “October is a month where we give thanks. We hope that lots of people will feel thankful and give

back to the community,” Gingrich said. “It is very encouraging to see young people getting involved in community and lending a hand in the fight against hunger,” said Rob Weller, operations manager at the Kelowna Community Food Bank. “We can’t thank the Peace Seekers and the All

Saints Lutherans enough for their continued support.” Glenmore residents are asked to have a bag of healthy non-perishable food ready for pick-up on Oct. 31. Weller says that the KCFB especially needs canned tuna and pasta. Peace Seekers is a UBCO campus club

Eco Art Day at Woodhaven regional nature park Have you experienced a wonderful Woodhaven Eco Art Day? If not, you’re in luck. The next special day at Woodhaven Nature Conservancy Regional Park will be this Sunday, Oc. 24, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The park, located at 4711 Raymer Road in the south Mission area of Kelowna will be teeming with performances and art. Participating will be: • Performers Lara Haworth and Nicole Cormaci will conduct Woodhaven’s very own border patrol service, designed to protect Woodhaven’s borders and defend Woodhaven against those that would do it harm. • Poet Nancy Holmes’ Woodhaven Community Poem is happening now: park visitors are encouraged to meditate on some words, write a poetic line and deposit it in the mailbox on the way out. Holmes will create community poems out of the responses. • Artist Shed Simas’ Woodhaven Jewel Box contains small prints of macro photographs, taken in the park at different times of the day and the year. Visitors will be invited to look through the drawers of this cabinet and take their favorite “jewel” home. • Artist Loir Mairs’ Braided Spirals takes the translation of the Okanagan word for “land” as “this very place in its braided spiral of time and living beings” and creates a work of bone and braided

wool marking the entrance to the pathways on this land and the four compass points. • Artist Jim Kalnin launches two projects in Woodhaven. The Floating Leaf Project where balls of twisted willow withes will be embedded with Woodhaven’s fallen cottonwood and maple leaves and hung from tree branches. And the Seeing Through Drawing Project where participants will be invited to take a drawing board and make a “blind contour drawing.” • Artist Lois Huey-Heck’s Blessings for the Forest is a series of pods made of natural fibers hung by cotton thread from trees along the path. Each pod will contain a written blessing for the forest and her creatures. • Performer Denise Kenney’s UBC theatre students will be creating four separate installation performances throughout the park. These are entitled Whispers of Woodhaven, Tongue to Task, Nymphs or Guardians of the Forest: The Changing of a Season, and All Secret Nest Holes. You will also be able to enjoy previous works of art such as audio walks and a video loaded onto mini-players, creating “log poetry” with rocks, collecting the coveted Woodhaven trading cards, and looking at the sculptures by Brenda Feist, Lori Mairs and Byron Johnston that have been in the park since July.

ONE DROP OF OIL MAKES A DIFFERENCE. The British Columbia Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA) is a not-for-profit organization responsible for the implementation of a province-wide collection and recycling system for used oil, oil filters and plastic oil containers. Since its launch in 2003, BCUOMA has achieved significant results in preventing used oil and used oil products from ending up in B.C. landfills. Due to the success of the BCUOMA program, British Columbia now has one of the highest recovery rates in the country.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

2009 RECOVERY RATES WERE:

Empty plastic oil bottles can be recycled into new containers, plastic ﬂowerpots, plastic pipe, and guardnails.

About one-half of the recycled oil is re-reﬁned into new lubricating oil while the remainder is used as a fuel in asphalt plants and pulp mills. Oil ﬁlters are crushed to remove the oil and sent to a steel mill to make other metal products such as rebar, nails and wire.

On July 1 2011, BCUOMA will begin the collection of automotive antifreeze and antifreeze containers USED OIL

76.9% RECOVERY

USED OIL FILTERS

90.4% RECOVERY

USED OIL CONTAINERS

80.8% RECOVERY

You can do your part by ensuring that every drop of used oil, every filter and every container is brought to a collection facility during regular business hours so it can be disposed of properly.

In order to raise awareness for used oil recycling within the province of British Columbia, the BC Used Oil Management Association executed its fifth annual summer ambassador program. From May to September, a team of two students embarked on a tour of the province spreading the message that ‘one drop of oil makes a difference’. The goal of the program was to encourage the responsible and proper recycling of used oil materials. Travelling in a Volkswagen Jetta Clean diesel TDI, provided

by Volkswagen Canada, the BCUOMA Summer Ambassadors visited 457 collection facilities in 121 different BC municipalities, including communities on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast, the B.C. Rockies/Kootenays, Thomspon/Okanagan, Cariboo/ Northern B.C. and the Vancouver Coast and Mountains. The Ambassador Team also attended eight summer events, where they interacted with the public, spreading the message that ‘one drop of oil makes a difference’.

Allison Russell who plays the guitar, clarinet, banjo and sings in the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really feel strongly about building our audience in a grassroots way.â&#x20AC;? As a result, their latest album was recorded on a two-week touring hiatus in Boston and each of the four members have honed a collection of homes they can over-winter at when the bus stops rollingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; though always temporari-

ly. Describing themselves as musical nomads, this is one collective whose literally traversed the earth to play events like the Massao World Music Festival in Douala, Cameroon, in Vondel Park in Amsterdam and the International Jazz Festival in Montreal. And all while continually building their repertoire. Labeled urban folk roots, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a definite world music twist to their

work as they experiment with instruments as standard as an accordion or glockenspiel and as eclectic as a bicycle bell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always writing,â&#x20AC;? Russell said, noting itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become an intrinsic part of their touring process. Originally from all over the continentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Russell is from Montreal, Awna Teixeira from Toronto, Benny Sidelinger from Olympia, Washing-

ton and Mikey August from Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the group formed in Vancouver in 2003 and, for now, calls their Chevy Astro van, named Chester, home. Over the summer they toured the United Kingdom and the Netherlands and then ventured down the West Coast of the United States, so Russell had to admit they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even aware that the Western Canada Music Awards or BreakOut West festival were happening here this weekend until a few days ago. Touring with J.T. Nero, who they describe as the lead singer of their brother band J.T. & The Clouds, of Chicago, Illinois, Russell said fans can expect a well-honed act and likely a sneak peak at the next songs theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll record. The group is hoping to head back into studio this coming March for their seventh recording. Poâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Girl plays the Okanagan Mission Community Hall, 4409 Lakeshore Dr., Saturday, Oct. 23. Admission is $25 or $15 for students and seniors, beginning at 8 p.m. This is an all ages show. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

A Delaware Indian from Ontario, Mosesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poems are collected in Delicate Bodies, The White Line and Sixteen Jesuses.

W CD REVIEWS

Seal still a ‘hopeless romantic SEAL: COMMITMENT (REPRISE)

For his sixth album, Seal has recorded a CD with 11 originals. This is quite different from his album titled Soul of two years ago. That was an all-cover release bookended by Sam Cooke’s A Change Is Gonna Come and Percy Mayfield’s People Get Ready that opened and closed the CD as Seal anticipated Obama’s election as the first black president. On Commitment, Seal reaffirms his dedication to family and friends that includes his ex-model wife Heidi Klum and their four children. Commitment might also mark Seal’s dedication to his craft of sweet sounding adult contemporary music and this time out he has hired David Foster as producer. As expected, Foster builds a lush sound around Seal’s expressive voice with his own piano often up front and plenty of pleasing strings to flesh out the sound. At times these songs come off as a tad overproduced, especially the two opening mid-tempo songs, but fortunately Seal has scored a hit with the somewhat underplayed Secret where Seal again proves to be the hopeless romantic. Some of these tunes sound kind of samey but tried and true Seal fans will take nicely to Commitment. B-

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell Howling Wolf’s Spoonful), he comes off more of a Face’s alumni than a current Rolling Stones member and that isn’t such a bad thing. There is a natural, rough and ready approach to these songs that sound unforced and easy going, unlike too much of the Stones’ later day efforts. The lead off song, A Thing Like That, features a cool retro vibe back to past glory days with Flea of RHCP’s on bass and Slash on guitar. There is no real dud on I Feel Like Playing but I wouldn’t look for any major hit off this admirable album as Wood really isn’t in it for the fame anymore and not too likely to work this album very hard. Other guests of note include ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, ex-Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan, Eddie Vedder, Kris Kristofferson and vocal great Bobby Womack. A likeable album where the CD liner is a small sample of Wood’s painting that usually sells quite well too. B

ing Stones, came out as a full-on movie-going experience when it was released way back in 1972. It caught the Stones at the greatest possible peak of their careers having just released the superb Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street the previous two years. Moreover, their then new guitarist, Mick Taylor, was adding a sophistication and edgy, bluesy element that made the Stones easily the best rock‘n’roll concert band on the planet at the time. Many Stones fans regard Ladies & Gentlemen their best ever concert video and the music is allconsuming with a set list of to die for classics such as Bitch, Brown Sugar,

Anyway, Grigolo has had top 10 selling crossover popera albums in the recent past especially with The Hands Of Love, but on The Italian Tenor, Grigolo sticks to well known classical arias from operas penned by Italian stalwarts Verdi and Puccinni. There is a lengthy 56page booklet with this new CD with notes aplenty and lyrics in three languages including English—if you want to sing along? With his matinée idol, youthful good looks maybe not signing up for Il Divo was a great career move for Vittorio Grigolo who seems to be on a solid career tangent in his own right. Note: Opera is very hard to record onto the cold confines of a CD and some of this sounds a bit thin and distant but it is still very much worth a listen—and at least it isn’t popera. B

Western Canadian Music Awards at KCT Sunday Festival back in Merritt

Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR

t’s hard to believe that after months of preparation, BreakOut West all begins tomorrow. Artists, industry professionals, and BreakOut West delegates will all start rolling into town as we kick off the first night of the festival, presented by the PEAK Performance Project. October 21 to 24 will see Kelowna buzzing with activity throughout the numerous BreakOut events, including the conference in the mornings, festival in the evenings, and the big show—the Western Canadian Music Awards Gala—wrapping it all up on Sunday night. All the weekend’s activity leads up to the Sunday night finale held at the Kelowna Community Theatre. The Western Canadian Music Awards is not only a celebration of music but also a time to honour and recognize the achievements of artists and musicians from across Western Canada.

This year’s awards show will be hosted by CBC Radio 3 personality Grant Lawrence, along with Manitoba-born actress Micheline Marchildon. The start-studded lineup for the awards gala includes Grapes of Wrath, We Are the City, Corb Lund, Anne Louise Genest, Genevieve Toupin, Said The Whale, Aidan Knight, Jean Paul Maurice, Doc Walker, Shane Yellowbird, You Say Party, Grand Analog, Bif Naked, Fringe Percussion, Tambura Rasa, Ariane Mahryke Lemire

and Shawn Jobin. One great thing about Sunday night’s performances is that artists will not just be playing on their own, but they will be joined on stage by other performers to provide out of the ordinary performances featuring clever, and sometimes unlikely, pairings of artists. As the evening also pays tribute to the achievements of Western Canadian artists, Vancouver classic rock band Chilliwack will be inducted into the Hall of Fame and they will also be gracing the Kelowna Community Theatre’s stage with a special performance at the end of the night.

Celebrating the holidays means family, sharing and of course…

YOU SAY PARTY, We Say Die is scheduled to perform Sunday at the Western Canadian Music Awards in Kelowna . The awards gala will also be honouring Canadian stars Tegan & Sara and Sarah McLachlan with the 2010 International Achievement Award. Another fantastic thing about the evening is that the awards ceremony will be televised by CBC. This is the first time in Western Canadian Music Awards history that the event has ever been televised and we are excited to showcase to all of Canada the celebration hap-

pening in Kelowna. Tickets for the Western Canadian Music Awards are only $42 and are available at SelectYourTickets.com or at the Rotary Centre for the Arts Box Office. So that’s it! There is only one ‘x’ left to mark on the calendar before BreakOut West begins tomorrow night.

Search for Mrs. Claus and the elves Kelowna Actors Studio is on the search for Mrs. Claus and a few good elves for and Orchard Park Shopping Centre’s annual Santa visiting area. “A child’s visit to Santa should be a fun and exciting part of Christmas, filled with magic and wonder,” said Orchard Park marketing manager, Natalie Walstrom. “We are thrilled to team up with Kelowna Actors Studio once again to deliver just that.” The performers will be ‘on’ every moment they are in costume. A series of interviews and workshops will assist in finding friendly, outgoing individuals who enjoy working with children and adults in an interactive environment. As the individuals will be playing a role as an elf or Mrs. Claus, past performance experience is a plus, but not a pre-requisite. Actors Studio and popular local costumer, Joy Green, will costume the actors. Everyone interested in the roles of elves or Mrs. Claus should contact the Kelowna Actors Studio at 250-862-2867, or nflavel@kelownaactorsstudio.com.

ALLEN – PHYLLIS MARY JEAN

It is with heavy hearts that the family shares that on the morning of October 17 the treasured light of (Phyllis Mary) Jean Allen left us. Jean was born on November 28, 1930 in Crystal City, Manitoba. Always a person with a sense of adventure she found her way from the small town of Manville to Calgary in her early years. During those years her friendly nature brought her many lifelong friends and eventually brought her to the love of her life, Gilbert. Jean was never one to sit still for long and she put this energy to use in both her family and her volunteer work with the Cadets, Gleaners and many other causes or people that she took into her heart. There are many who will remember that extra big pot of chili, the always ready extra bedroom for whoever needed it and the sense that you were a part of the family the minute you walked in the door; once you were family, you were family for life, even if your last name was different. It was that extension of her family that brought a richness to all the lives she touched. Jean also liked to travel and did so to many places with her family. She loved to walk along beaches to pick up stones and shells and forever had pockets, jars and cans full of them. Jean was preceded by her parents and her beloved Gil and is survived by children Linda (Bruce) and their daughter Christy, Lloyd (Shannon) and their children Kevin (Tanya), Gilbert Joel, Geneisa, Kim (Dave) and their children Gilbert Henri (Kristina), Amy, Chris and Sue, Mark (Mabel) and Shawn (Charlene) and their son Mathen, two great grandchildren Kaiden and Braelynn, her brother Hal (Nancy) and sisters Emma (Brian), Ruth (Tim) and Midge, and numerous nieces and nephews. In lieu of ﬂowers the family asks that a donation to the Cancer Center for the Southern Interior be made.

and health education in the African country. “We are sending the largest group of Okanagan health professionals ever—four surgeons, three family doctors, six nurses and an anaesthetist for another teaching visit to Zambia,” said Dr. Linda Hawker, Kelowna family physician and chair of the Okanagan-Zambia Health Initiative. The team will be working and teaching in rural Mongu, capital village of Zambia’s Western Province, as well as in Lusaka. OkaZHI founder Dr. Bill Nelems, of Kelowna, said, “International funding efforts in Zambia have been focused on combating infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. “Little of this investment has penetrated through to impact and sustain basic levels of health care and health education. “Health care infrastructure is limited in rural areas and provinces. The western province is one of the poorest in Zambia and has amongst the worst health outcomes in the country. One in five children does not live to see their fifth birthday.” One of the earlier steps in supporting health care in Zambia was a Memorandum of Understanding signed between UBCOkanagan’s Faculty of Health and Social Development, and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Zambia in 2008. In March 2010, OkaZHI facilitated the placement of nine nursing students from the UBC-Okanagan’s School of Nursing at Lewanika General Hospital in Mongu, where they worked alongside their staff for four weeks during which there was a rich exchange of knowledge, skills and experiences. “Our experiences with OkaZHI have been very positive,” said Dr. Andrew Silumesii, chief executive officer of the Lewanika General Hospital. “We see great opportunities for the improvement of health care in Western Province through this partnership. “We value the unwavering commitment of OkaZHI to this cause and the mutual trust and respect exhibited in this collaboration.” This Okanagan-based inspired vision will have a significant impact on future generations of patients, nurses, physicians and other health care workers in Zambia, said Silumesii.
