W SINDI HAWKINS
Leukemia claims life of former MLA Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Former Kelowna Liberal MLA Sindi Hawkins has lost her long battle with leukemia. Hawkins passed away around noon Tuesday in Calgary after a six-year battle with the disease that was marked by her courage and her will to live. She was 52. Her death occurred on the day her friend, B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, announced the B.C. Cancer Agency would renamed its Centre for the Southern Interior in Kelowna after Hawkins. The centre will now be known as the Sindi Hawkins Cancer Centre For The Southern Interior. “It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of friend and former MLA, Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins, after a courageous battle with acute myeloid leukemia,” Campbell said in a press release. “Sindi passed away peacefully at noon today in Calgary with family by her side. Sindi was only 52 years old and taken from us far too early. She had much more to give and we had more to learn from her.”
Sindi Hawkins Hawkins, who battled acute myeloid leukemia, was first diagnosed with the disease in 2004. Part of her treatments included two bone marrow transplants from her sister. Despite her illness, she was a tireless campaigner for cancer research and her annual charity golf tournament here has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the centre that now bears her name. Her last visit to Kelowna was earlier this year for the tournament. “Sindi was our greatest champion and supporter,” said Cynthia WaldekPeters of the B.C. Cancer Foundation in Kelowna. Her friend Mohini Singh described Hawkins as a fighter, someone who battled her cancer bravely See Hawkins A10

Reported pot theft turns into a pot bust Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A Winfield man who was the victim of theft over the weekend reported the crime to RCMP— despite the fact the item that was stolen isn’t considered legal in Canada. Jim Watson says he awoke on Sunday morn-
ing and discovered that one of his marijuana plants, grown behind a hedge on an Okangan Centre property, had been clipped. “It wasn’t sheared. It was cut by a tool of some kind,” said Watson. Watson, who has been growing outside on the property for at least two

years, said he had five female plants and two male marijuana plants. Wanting his stolen plant back, Watson called the Lake Country RCMP on Monday to report the theft—even though it is illegal to grow marijuana plants in Canada. “It’s a job on them,” he said in way of explaining
why he reported the theft. “It was a job on me.” For Sgt. Rick McIsaac, a 29-year veteran of the RCMP, the crime report is a first. “This is the first time I’ve ever had anyone report the theft of their marijuana,” said McIsaac. Officers dealing with the call cut down the re-
maining marijuana plants, aside from one male plant, but decided not to charge Watson for growing and possessing the illegal plants. “In talking with him… and evaluating the circumstances as a whole, it’s not in the public inSee Bust A5

W SENTENCING
Fedechko murderer’s life sentence means 10 years for sure Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
The man convicted of killing single mom Tiffany Fedechko will remain in prison for at least the next decade. On Monday morning, James Feil, 39, was sentenced to life in prison without parole eligibility for 10 years after being found guilty of second degree murder back in June. At issue during his sentencing was whether his parole ineligibility
should be increased beyond the mandatory minimum of 10 years. Crown counsel wasn’t seeking a longer term of parole ineligibility, but because the jury made a variety of recommendations, averaging out to 16.2 years, Justice Keith Bracken noted he had to consider the jury’s view. “It seemed to me to be inappropriate to simply ignore it,” said Bracken. However, he noted that there are many factors that
Tiffany Fedechko go into sentencing such as Feil’s background, the sentencing principles set
out in the Criminal Code and the Supreme Court of Canada’s direction that sentencing should be proportionate and similar between cases—those factors were not known to the jury at the time of their recommendation. Upon reviewing a presentence report and other material, Bracken said: “It is my view that there is nothing that emerges… that would cause me to increase the parole ineligibility beyond 10 years.”
Characterizing the murder as “spur of the moment,” Bracken said an aggravating factor was that Feil took no action after he realized Fedechko was dead. Feil strangled his girlfriend to death in his Thacker Drive home in October 2008 and waited two days to report the death to police. During his trial, the Crown theorized that Feil became enraged after Fedechko rejected his sex-
ual advances when they returned to his West Kelowna home following a date that involved attending a Kelowna Rockets game and visiting two pubs. Feil admitted to jumping on Fedechko, 23, putting his knee on her neck and punching her in the head three or four times before she lost consciousness. He told police he did that after Fedechko came at him with a knife as they argued, an allegation her
family doesn’t believe happened. “The crime you’ve committed has caused great harm,” said Bracken as he sentenced Feil, noting Fedechko’s child, siblings, mother and friends now have to live without her. In addition to sentencing Feil to life in prison, Bracken ordered that Feil must submit a sample of his DNA and barred him for life from possessing firearms.
W WINE FESTIVAL
‘Organized chaos’ lets visitors see a winery at its busiest By Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Over its 30-year history the Okanagan’s wine festivals have evolved from a single weekend fall festival to three annual ones that are 10-day events, and a fourth that is going through a major change. After nine years as a weekend festival held solely at Silver Star Mountain out of Vernon, plans are for the summer festival to morph into a valleywide event that will likely be held in July rather than the beginning of August, says one of the Okanagan Wine Festival Society’s organizers, Blair Baldwin. “Times and economics have changed, and it’s time for the summer festival to grow,” he explained. The fall festival is still the flagship, with continued growth in attendance and sales every year over the previous one. Last year, he says it’s estimated there was an economic impact of $2 million in measurable sales throughout the valley over the 10 days, noted Baldwin. It’s the only major wine festival in North America held during harvest, the most exciting, but
hectic time of year in the wine industry. “It’s nuts, but we began that way and as new wineries came along, they just got used to it. It’s organized chaos for wineries, but it gives consumers an opportunity to see a winery in operation; to capture the excitement around harvest,” he commented. “It’s interactive.”
‘‘
IT’S ORGANIZED CHAOS, BUT IT GIVES CONSUMERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE A WINERY IN OPERATION…
The festival runs Sept. 30 through Oct. 10 with more than 150 events throughout the valley, supported now by more than 100 wineries. A new event this year will be a competition amongst the valley’s young chefs sponsored by Saputo Cheese, makers of the award-winning Alexis de Portneuf Fine Cheese.

held at the Okanagan College Culinary Arts Centre, and it’s organized by the Okanagan Chefs As-

MLA recall strategy may be felt by Central Okanagan Liberal trio Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Should they stay or should they go? That’s the question local voters will be asked about their MLAs over the next few months. The Central Okanagan’s three Liberal MLAs are included in a list of 18 who could be facing recall campaigns early in the new year. Norm Letnick (Kelowna-Lake Country), Steve Thomson (Kelowna-Mission) and Ben Stewart (Westside-Kelowna) are on the list that former B.C. premier and antiHST crusader Bill Vander Zalm’s Fight HST group has drawn up for possible recall campaigns as it tries to force the government to move up the date of the planned province-wide HST referendum. Vander Zalm announced Monday a contest will be held to see which of the 18 ridings can sign up the most recall campaign canvassers between Sept. 27 and Nov. 15—the first day a recall campaign can legally be
held. Vander Zalm said if the government does not agree to hold the referendum this year, three recall campaigns will start Jan. 1. The three ridings with the most canvassers will conduct the first recall campaigns. Vander Zalm is calling his plan MLA Survivor Recall—Vote Them Off The Island and likening it to the popular television game show Survivor, where contestants are voted off the show. The move follows through with a vow Vander Zalm made to launch recall campaigns against Liberal MLAs after more than 700,000 people signed his initiative petitions to force the government to hold a vote on the controversial new 12 per cent tax. That vote will be binding on the government, Premier Gordon Campbell has stated. The threat of recall campaigns is not new for the three local MLAs, who were included on a list of 24 Liberals previously targeted by Fight HST. All three have
shrugged off recall threats in the past, saying they plan to continue working for their constituents. On Monday, Letnick said he was elected to help restore the B.C. economy and the HST will help do that. He, like Thomson and Stewart before him, again publicly stated support for the HST. While admitting the government’s “poor delivery” in bringing in the tax has fired up opponents, Letnick said his priority is to continue helping his constituents with issues such as health care concerns, ICBC problems, education funding, WCB claims and business opportunities. “Those are the things that take up most of my time,” he said. For the three men who will lead the three recall campaign efforts, the stipulation that 40 per cent of registered voters must sign up within a 60-day time span is onerous but not impossible. In Westside-Kelowna, Chris Bullard said he believes it can be done but would like to see legislation changed to give more
time. Bullard said Stewart should be recalled because his “silent” support for the HST goes against his constituents’ wishes. Bullard, a retired IT consultant, was a canvasser in the initiative campaign, and is not a member of any political party. His counterpart in Kelowna-Lake Country, Al Romanchuk, just arrived here five months ago from Alberta. A retired lawyer, Romanchuk said he’s against the HST, the GST and even provincial sales taxes. “British Columbians are being taxed to death with no account for the electorate. The electoral system has to change for the better,” he said. Justin Neufeld, a financial planner who just graduated from Okanagan College last year, said he volunteered to be the proponent in Kelowna-Mission because he feels the Liberal MLAs are not listening to the public. Neufeld said he has also applied to join the B.C. Refederation Party.
Judie Steeves Despite nearly the whole of September’s normal rainfall coming down in just three days, no new rainfall records were set over the weekend. Meteorologist Doug Lundquist, with the Environment Canada Mountain Services weather office in Kelowna, reports there was
30.4 mm of rain in total Saturday, Sunday and Monday, while the normal total for the entire month is 32.7 mm. Of that, nine millimetres fell on Saturday, 13.4 on Sunday and eight on Monday. Already there’s been 41.6 mm in September, well over the month’s normal. However, such heavy rain was needed to provide soil moisture and to re-charge aquifers, noted Lundquist, because there hasn’t been

such heavy rain since August, 2009 when more than a centimetre fell in one storm. That cloudy and cool weather pattern is about to change, with more sunny weather coming in on a high pressure system, promised Lundquist, although today is the autumn equinox, the first day of fall. Then temperatures should be above normal for the next week or more, he said.

Teen back in court It will likely be another month before we learn whether a girl accused of murdering a West Kelowna teen will elect to be tried by a jury or a judge alone. Speaking by phone on Tuesday afternoon, defence lawyer Donna Turko said she was unable to proceed with election in the case surrounding the death of Ashlee Hyatt because she received disclosure of more evidence that day. “Ethically, I can’t make the election till I review the discs,” Turko told a justice of the peace sitting in a Kelowna courtroom. Turko’s 16-year-old client, who cannot be identified under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is accused of the first degree murder of 16-year-old Hyatt on June 2 at a house party on San Clemente Avenue in Peachland. She’s also charged with assault with a weapon related to an attempted stabbing that occurred the same evening. The girl was granted bail—with a 24-hour curfew—later in June. Conditions of her release included not possessing weapons or consuming drugs or alcohol, and being barred from Facebook, Twitter and MSN messenger. She is also not allowed to have contact with any witnesses in the case; The teenager’s case is set to return to court on Oct. 21.

Police have also closed the investigation into who took the marijuana, saying: “There’s nothing to further our investigation.” While Watson, who has his suspicions about who stole his marijuana, is a “little disappointed” that the RCMP seized his plants after he reported the theft, he’s not letting that get him down. “There’s always another year,” he said.

W LAKEWATCH PROGRAM
W STABBING
Public will have somewhere to report bad boating
Lake Country man gets court date set
Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
Reckless boaters could be reported by other lake users next season as the
Regional District of Central Okanagan looks at the cost of adopting the Lakewatch program on Okanagan Lake. RDCO crime preven-
tion co-ordinator Duane MacTavish said the Lakewatch program is a result of concerns raised by many boaters who were witnessing unsafe boating
practices or noisy boats. The program has been in effect for two years on Kalamalka Lake. MacTavish said education is the key component, and generally enforcement is the last resort. “It’s intended to create a safe environment.” Last year, the city of Vernon received 21 complaints from the boating public through the program. Nine letters of education were sent out as a result, and no police action was taken. MacTavish said the program involves signs being placed at lake access points. Kalamalka Lake has seven signs up. He noted Okanagan Lake would probably need 24 of the signs, considering all the various mar-

inas, yacht clubs and boat launches. The cost is estimated at $200 to $300 per sign installation. MacTavish noted he is already in preliminary talks with RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon and West Kelowna Staff Sgt. Duncan Dixon. “I think together we could make a bit of an impact here.” MacTavish said the program would take approximately two weeks to implement, starting in May before the long weekend. The program would continue into the prime boating season. Director Sharon Shepherd noted the program is proactive, and gives citizens at least some ability to send their complaints of incidences somewhere.
She pointed out many area municipalities are going into budget deliberations, and that if each of the municipalities in the area were responsible for looking after their accesses, it would break down the costs of the program. Director Graeme James asked if the program would also look at the small but highly-used Wood Lake. He pointed out the usage of Wood Lake per square mile is higher than on Okanagan Lake, and there were a number of incidents there during this summer. MacTavish said the program’s primary concern is Okanagan Lake from Peachland to Lake Country, but it would be expanded in phases.
An apparently intoxicated Lake Country man now faces a court date after he allegedly stabbed his friend in the abdomen. Just before 8 p.m. on Sunday, RCMP were called by a woman at a home on Myrus Road who said her boyfriend had just been stabbed by a friend who had been visiting. See Stabbing A7

Man flees after altercation Stabbing from A6 “The two men had been in the shop beside the residence when discussion led to a physical altercation and ended when the accused stabbed the victim in the abdomen,� said Sgt. Ann Morrison. Police say the accused fled, and was arrested a short time later inside his
home on Clement Road in Lake Country. He was taken to the Kelowna RCMP detachment and later released to appear in court on Nov. 18. He’s facing recommended charges of assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public. The victim and wit-
nesses say the accused appeared intoxicated when he arrived at the Myrus Road home, Morrison said. The victim suffered a small wound to his abdomen as a result of the incident and was taken to Kelowna General Hospital. He was treated and released later that night.

Ho Home of your FRIENDLY BUTCHER
The first of three open houses was held in Lakeview Heights Monday with a series of boards explaining the $44 million Westside Road overpass project, currently being comanaged by the province and the Westbank First Nation. A second open house was held yesterday in Westbank and a third is scheduled for today, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Wilson Landing Fire Hall at 2396 Westside Road. The project, which will include a new overpass at Westside Road over Highway 97 and an underpass at Nancee Way, just to south, is slated to be completed in two phases and be ready for use in 2013. “It’s a most amazing thing,” said Mike Cotton, a Westbank resident who showed up at the open house to look at the plans. “Everything has been well thought out.” Like many others who attended, Cotton, and his friend Malcolm Runacres, said they liked what they saw, feeling the work, when complete, will
help the flow of traffic on and around the Westside Road-Highway 97 intersection. Work on the overpass will be done first and will be ready next August. That will mean traffic heading onto the highway from Westside Road until then will have to use the new Nancee Way, a detour route specially built as part of the project. Project communications official Evelyn Lube with the WFN said the new road will remain after the project is complete. But the temporary traffic signals now installed at its intersection with Highway 97 will be removed, as will the lights at Westside Road. Lube said after the WFN “cut its teeth” on the Campbell Road interchange project at the west end of the William Bennett Bridge a few years ago and felt ready to take on the larger Westside Road overpass project. Jim Gerow, of the B.C. transportation ministry, agreed, saying the relations ship between the WFN and the ministry has
worked very well so far. With earth now being moved on site and the detour routes expected go into effect for traffic on and off Westside road next month, concerns have been raised about traffic flow through the construction on the highway. But Lube said while the plans call for highway traffic to continue using the current route, much of the early stage work will be off to the sides of the highway. A portion of Westside Road, from its intersection with Nancee Way to the highway, will be closed during construction of the overpass. That is why the detour route has been built. At the same time that the overpass and underpass work is being done, a new strip mall will be built just south of the WFN office building. Another partnership between the WFN and a developer, it will include a multi-screen cinema, a bank and several retail stores. Details of that project are expected to be made public next month.

Smokers will be told to butt out if they’re caught puffing on a cigarette at any Kelowna beach or park. City council voted Monday to pass a bylaw that prohibits smoking in nearly all public places, as the follow up to last year’s bylaw that banned smoking in “natural spaces” where a fire hazard could be discerned. “There was already a lot of public support,” said the city’s Ian Wilson, referencing a nationwide survey used to argue extending the ban. In it, 75 per cent of Canadians claimed they favoured smoke free beaches and parks. About 68 per cent of smokers were even on-board with the idea. That widespread support to end smoking in parks was reflected among councillors, who remarked that the public mindset is significantly different than it was even a decade ago. Coun. Luke Stack explained he was once on a hospital board and remembers the days when proposing prohibiting smoking in hospital rooms sparked a backlash. “People seemed aghast,” he said, noting the decision to implement bans in various areas, step by step, has been successful. Of course, that doesn’t mean everyone’s enthused. Rael Schaeffer was outside smoking, Tuesday and when he was told about the new bylaw he instantly barked, “ridiculous.” “I like to relax, and smoking helps me do that,” he said, adding that he gets out of the way of others when he’s taking a cigarette break, anyway. He also thinks that smokers are being persecuted for their addictions these days. Chewing on the end of a nicotine supplement shaped like a cigarette, Willie Kisely said he thinks, “if someone wants to smoke, they should be able to smoke. I just don’t want to.” He also has some insight into how smoking bans roll out. “I live in Hawaii six months of the year, and there’s nobody smoking there,” he said. Closer to home, Kelowna will join 39 B.C. municipalities that already have bylaws in place, instituted on arguments of public health and pursuing a cleaner environment. While the sweet smell of cigarette smoke won’t be wafting by beach and park goers anymore, it won’t be forbidden on patios. There is a provincial rule in place that makes sure that smoking is only done past three meters of an open doorway, but establishments that have patios big enough to keep smokers happy could also be at risk. Other cities have mandated no-smoking on patios, but Kelowna’s not ready to take that step until consulting further with impacted business owners.

Iconic Kelowna band helps pave the way for newcomers Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
What would you say the face of Kelowna’s music scene looks like? Breakout sensation We Are the City, who won the Peak Performance Project contest for new B.C. bands this past January, say they still hear people associating the name “Kelowna” with the ‘80s band Grapes of Wrath. Admittedly, its been long enough the iconic folk-rockers are more legendary to their parents than to the trio of 20-yearolds themselves. Still, We Are The City say they are looking forward to meeting and playing with Grapes of Wrath at the Western Canadian Music Awards in a joint performance expected to bookend an indescribably successful year for both. “I’m excited just to be able to share the stage with them,” said singer Cayne McKenzie. It will likely be Grapes of Wrath material the band plays, though the exact details of the show are being kept under wraps. The Western Canadian Music Awards show is well-known for mixing both different bands and the actual award presentations in a formula darn near trademarked to their
event. “I thought the awards were one of the best shows I’ve ever seen,” said Grapes of Wrath founding member Kevin Kane, who attended for the first time last year in Brandon, Man. Watching hip hop artists receive awards with country stars, and the race to the stage to pick up the
trophies which ensues, he had to admit it was like nothing he had expected. “Award shows tend to be really, really dull, but this was totally entertaining and it was really good,” he said. Hanging out backstage for the event he rubbed shoulders with local organizers Karma Lacoff and Quinn Best and pretty soon Grapes of Wrath and We Are the City were developing a unique “yin and yang kind of thing” for this year’s show—or at least that’s how Kelowna
WCMA host Grant Lawrence describes it. Three members of Grapes of Wrath, including Kane, have reunited and are starting to tour the band around, playing Summerhill Pyramid Winery over this past summer; yet Kane said they’re expecting this to be the memorable show. The mix-and-mashstyle has been a rousing success all six years Donnelly & Associates, an event firm based out of Vancouver, have run it. “You don’t really know what’s coming
next,” said John Donnelly. “It allows us to put twice as many acts in the show and create really unique performances.” It was his firm that came up with the idea, which began simply because of time constraints that pushed the producers to hand out the 22 awards in pairs; adding the mixed performances was just a creative twist. Last year, the show saw Randy Bachman paired with young guitar player Kyle Riabko, but sometimes they mix even the genres, throwing blues
musicians and in with rock groups. For We Are the City, it doesn’t sound like the performance will be much of a stretch. After a year so packed even two weeks away from the road makes them feel like they’re slacking, squeezing in rehearsals during the four-day conference and concurrent BreakOut West music festival should be a breeze. The band said they are excited to see Kelowna get the awards and to be playing in their own backyard.
“B.C. really has so many great bands right now,” said drummer Andy Huculiak. “In the last four years, Western Canada has really shown it’s face. There are so many good bands coming out of Vancouver, Victoria. “They’re almost like the highlight of the whole country.” For more information about who will be performing, check out the website www.breakoutwest.ca. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

and not give up,” said Singh, who described the news of Hawkins’ death as “stunning.” The man who succeeded Hawkins as Kelowna-Mission MLA, Steve Thomson, called Tuesday a “sad day for the community and for B.C.” Thomson said not only has the community lost a great supporter and advocate, he lost a friend, someone he could rely on for advice. “My heart goes out to her family.” Hawkins’ selfless dedication to helping others was echoed by Campbell. “Sindi Hawkins has selflessly dedicated her life to helping others, as a nurse, an MLA and an advocate to raise awareness for cancer,” he said. “Anyone who ever met Sindi was struck by her remarkable spirit for everything she put her efforts toward.

elected official and cancer advocate. “We have lost an inspirational person, an advocate, a role model and a great community leader.” Hawkins was diagnosed with leukemia in January 2004 and despite taking a leave for treatment, kept working as an MLA through to the end of her third term in office. During that time she had two recurrences of the cancer and two bone marrow transplants from her sister. She served as the MLA for OkanaganWest and Kelowna-Mission from 1996 to 2009. During her time in government she served as the deputy speaker of the legislature, minister of state for intergovernmental relations and minister of health planning. In 1996, she started her annual Sindi Hawkins and Friends Charity Golf Classic for Cancer Care, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the local cancer clinic. During her illness, she worked to raise awareness and funds for cancer research and was co-chair of the B.C. Cancer Foundation’s Tour of Courage in 2007. With a new endowment fund, she helped raise nearly $3 million for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. In naming the cancer centre after her, Campbell said Hawkins gave cancer patients across British Columbia not only the gift of hope, but the gift of life that will be remembered for generations. Before her election as the local MLA, Hawkins worked as a nurse before studying and pursuing a law career. She set up her own company as a lawyer with an interest in medical-legal issues. She received both her bachelor of nursing and her bachelor of law degrees from the University of Calgary. Her good friend Maxine DeHart summed up the feelings of many of Hawkins’ friends: “I just can’t believe she’s gone. She kept battling and battling…It’s a very sad day. I have a very heavy heart.” DeHart was one of the first people Hawkins told about her illness and she remembers being asked to make some calls for her friend. “I remember calling people late at night and just crying as I told them,” DeHart said. “Today, I am crying again.”

members, many of whom remarking they’d just defer to the judgement of the public art committee, which ranked the piece over others by a significant majority. One of those other proposals would have led Coun. Angela Reid in another direction, she said, although she ultimately supported the piece. If she wanted to have a say on those decisions she’d join the public art committee, she explained, adding the piece was “interesting.” Unable to drum up the same enthusiasm was Coun. Luke Stack, who voted against the expenditure. “Fish on the wire, I get, but the eggs…,” mused Stack. “I don’t think (the public) will understand why we embraced it.” Even the committee chairperson pointed out they didn’t choose “the prettiest” piece. They chose the project that fit the parameters of public art best, for qualities like its visual reach. Of the 19 proposals received for the space, four were from Kelowna, four from elsewhere in the Valley, three were from other parts of B.C., four were from other parts of Canada and another four were from the U.S. The fact that the Ontario artist was chosen raised familiar questions. Arguments for prioritizing locally produced art are regularly presented to Mayor Sharon Shepherd so she asked committee members to comment on the issue. Jane Everett, a local artist and public art committee member, explained it’s a proposition that they avoid because not only would it diminish the quality of proposals, but it could also hurt local artists. “I just sent a piece to Vancouver. We need to be open to others, so other cities will be open to us,” she said, adding that Kelowna isn’t a big enough market for any artist to sustain themselves on.

Motel turned into affordable housing project A new housing option developed by the province, the City of Kelowna, Interior Health and community partners will see the former La Mission Motor Inn converted temporarily into 39 affordable apartments for youth, families, elders and people at risk. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the community of Kelowna to benefit from an agreement that would see an otherwise vacant building provide 39 apartments for those who need it most,” said Kelowna-Country MLA Norm Letnick. Located at 579 Truswell Rd. in the lower Mission, the property was purchased by the city in April 2010 as part of future plans to extend the Mission Creek Greenway Park in approximately two to five years. A subsequent agreement was reached between the city and the province in June 2010 to lease the property for two years (with an option for annual extensions) in order to provide mixed-use affordable transition housing with minimal supports. “We saw the opportunity to provide temporary housing and approached the province with our idea,” said Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd. “We have been thrilled at the response it’s received, and how all the partners have worked together to make this initiative become a reality.” Interior Health will lease nine units for patients requiring medical procedures and for families of patients needing temporary, affordable accommodation. The Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society has been selected to operate and manage the building, which is being renamed White Buffalo Lodge. The society will operate the building based on the revenues received from tenants.

W SUN FOOTBALL
Defense piles up zeros Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
To label the Okanagan Sun defense as ‘stingy’ would be the understatement of the B.C. Football Conference season. The Sun hasn’t yielded a point on defense in 17 consecutive quarters and has blanked its opponents in three of the last four games. A 47-0 dismantling of the hometown Surrey Rams Sunday afternoon was the latest example of just how greedy and uncharitable the Sun have become. And while the architect of the league’s most prolific defense is thrilled with the extended string of zeros, Jason Casey believes his group can be even better. “I’m really impressed at how they guys are coming together,” said Casey, in his third season as the club’s defensive coordinator. “When you’re winning and winning by a sizable margin, it’s odd to hear coaches say we’re not perfect, but we still haven’t accomplished our goals yet. There’s a lot of tweaking to be done and our positional coaches Jamie (Klassen), Mike
(Godwin) and Rob (Heron) have done a great job to get us where we are. So have the players, but we know we can keep improving.” Still, Casey is quick to apply credit where credit is due. In terms of personnel—both depth and talent-wise—Casey can’t conceive of a better defense in all of junior football. The challenge for the coaches is keeping everyone content with their roles. “There are no glaring holes, we’ve got a ton of veteran guys and we’ve got young guys we can roll in and there’s not much of a dip in talent at all,” Casey said. “We have bunch of competitive young men and we need to keep their egos in check and keep them satisfied at the same time. It’s a nice problem to have.” One colossal problem for opposing defenses has been Sun defensive lineman Steven Doege. In just his second season, the 6-foot-3 220-pound Rutland grad has set the club’s all-time quarterback sack record. With two against the Rams, Doege has 18.5 for his career. “Steve’s a genetic freak,” Casey said with a
Steven Doege laugh. “But really, he’s a hard worker, he busts his butt, and there’s just no stopping him on the football field. He has those long arms and legs that makes him almost impossible to block, and he’s not phased at all when he’s double-teamed. He’s doesn’t say much, but he’s a consummate team guy and he leads by example.” Doege’s teammate and fellow defensive leader Alex Law is encouraged by the way the Sun defense has grown and evolved as the season has progressed. And while Law and the Sun would undoubtedly love to keep the scoreless streak in tact, they have broader goals in mind over the next four weeks of the season. See B3

Speedy Chikie to step up game even more Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
As far back as he can remember, Cody Chikie was told he was just too small. All the more reason for the Kelowna Rockets’ fireplug to once again set big goals for a new Western Hockey League season.
“I want to be the fastest guy and the hardest-working guy on our team,” said the 5-foot-7 Chikie, a product of St. Albert, Alta. “I trained really hard this summer to be better at both parts of my game and that’s my goal. “There have always been guys telling me I’m too small. I’ve always had it in my head that I’m not,” he cotninued. “It
doesn’t matter, I just go out and play.” After making the club as a walk-on last season, Chikie went ahead and silenced all the critics with a solid and steady rookie campaign. He had 18 goals and 30 points in 58 games and demonstrated to the coaching staff his ability to play in all situations. With a full year of WHL experience
under his belt, the Rockets coaching expects to see a more savvy and polished Chikie take to the ice this season. “With Cody, I think we want to see more of what we saw last season,” said Rockets assistant coach Ryan Cuthbert. “Obviously he has a lot of talent with the

Island tour on tap for Warriors By the time Sunday night arrives, the Westside Warriors will be well acquainted with Vancouver Island. Beginning Wednesday night with the Cowichan Valley Capitals, the Warriors will visit four Island opponents in a five-day stretch. The BCHL club will move on to Nanaimo Friday, Victoria on Saturday, and will wrap up the extended tour Sunday night against Alberni Valley. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a daunting task early in the 2010-11 campaign but one that is welcomed by the Warriors
and their head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time you play four games in five nights, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big test for a hockey team,â&#x20AC;? said Darren Yopyk, the Warriors coach and GM. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some very good teams on the Island, so I think it will be a good chance for us to get a little closer as a team and to bond early in the season,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Warriors are an even 2-2 on the season after sweeping the Trail Smoke Eaters in a homeand-home set over the weekend. Westside won 3-2 Fri-

day at Cominco Arena, then returned home the following night to post a 6-3 win over Trail. In a strange turn of events Saturday, the Warriors yielded three goals in a span of 63 seconds in the first period, then responded with a three-goal outburst in 84 seconds in the second frame. Kyle Singleton and Alex Grieve had three points each in the win. All in all, Yopyk was satisfied with the result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought the effort was there, the battle was there and, for the most part, we stuck with what
we were trying to do,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cam Gorchynski was in goal for both games for the Warriors and drew praise from his head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played well for us,â&#x20AC;? said Yopyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He worked hard in the off season and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paid off for him.â&#x20AC;? Yopyk said his two goalies, Kevin Boyle and Gorchynski, will likely see two starts each on the road trip. The Warriors next home action is Saturday, Oct. 2 at home to Trail.

MOUNT BOUCHERIE’S Josh Fender takes the ball upfield with a pair of Rick Hansen players in pursuit in B.C. high school football action Friday at the Apple Bowl.
Owls to be tested by Ravens Three games into the rB.C. high school football exhibition season, the Kelowna Owls have yet to be seriously challenged, outscoring their opponents 141-15 in the process. Another free ride is the last thing KSS will be expecting Friday night at the Apple Bowl when the Owls battle the No. 2-ranked Terry Fox Ravens. Kick off is 5 p.m. Fox is fresh off a 49-0 win over New Westminster Friday and is considered, by many, as the odds-on-favourite to win the provincial title. Head coach Roy Anderson said it’s a test the No. 4 ranked Owls are looking forward to. “The guys know it’s going to be a measuring stick, we’ll find out where we’re at with the best in the province,” said Anderrson. “We do a lot of different things on offense, so I’m confident we can score against most teams we play. It’s whether we can stop them is the big question. (Terry Fox) is a strong running team with two big running backs.” The Owls are 3-0 after a 34-0 win over Seaquam on a sloppy, rain-drenched field Saturday afternoon in North Delta. Taylor Loffler threw three touchdown passes—
two to Carter Bilawchuk (eight and 26 yards), and one to Sam Davies for 65 yards. Loffler added a TD on a four-yard run while Graham Fawcett scored from 11 yards out. Loffler led the defense with six tackles and a pick, with Cole Mosychuk adding four tackles. Boucherie 41 Hansen 14 The Mt. Boucherie Bears jumped on Rick Hansen early and never looked back in a convincing win Friday at the Apple Bowl. Running back Mikhail Maloff had a big night, rushing for 150 yards and opening the scoring on a 20-yard run in the first quarter. Maloff added a 95-yard kickoff return for a major to open the second half to basically seal the game for the Bears. “Special teams coach Alistair Bone has been working hard with the return teams and it really paid off,” said Bears’ coach Mike Godwin. “Mikhail is a dangerous runner, but the blocking was set up perfectly and he was basically untouched into the end zone.” QB John Cochrane tossed three TD passes, two to Josh Fender and the other to Ryan Urlach-
er. Ryan Kraeker went 60 yards for Boucherie’s final major in the fourth. On defense, safety Matt Meerdink had seven tackles, while Evan Dudzick had six tackles and a fumble recovery. The Bears are back in action Saturday, 5:30 p.m. against Clarence Fulton at the Capital News Centre.

The Heat earned a 1-1 draw with the Vancouver Island University Mariners Sunday in Kelowna, and now have three wins and a tie to show for their first four outings.

We did well taking points off of the other pool now our focus turns to our own division and working hard to capture points there.” On Saturday, the Heat disposed of the Quest U Kermodes 4-0. Alexa Kennedy continued her hot start to the season with two more goals. Marissa Klees and Emily Braun scored the other markers, while keeper Sabrina Gasparic earned her second shutout of the season.

MLA fought courageous battle
M
any in Kelowna were saddened on Tuesday to learn of the passing of former local Liberal MLA Sindi Hawkins. Hawkins had fought a courageous battle with acute myeloid leukemia since initially being diagnosed with the disease in January 2004. She underwent two bone marrow transplants in hopes of curtailing the disease. Hawkins, who worked as a nurse before studying and pursuing a law career, was elect-
ed as the Liberal MLA for Okanagan-West in 1996, a riding which evolved into what is Kelowna-Mission today. Since first being diagnosed with leukemia, Hawkins has worked to raise awareness and funds for cancer research and was co-chair of the B.C. Cancer Foundation’s Tour of Courage in 2007. With a new endowment fund in place, she has helped raise $3 million for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. Her annual charity golf tournament for cancer care was a

staple of the yearly local fundraising events since it was started in 1996. It was also announced on Tuesday at the Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior in Kelowna will be renamed in her honour—the Sindi Hawkins Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior. During her first go-round of bone marrow surgery recovery, Hawkins wrote a column about her experience in the recovery process that we published in the Capital News.
It was an upbeat but honest account of what she was feeling, good and bad, through that process that others might learn from. Through it all, Hawkins remained convinced she was going to beat leukemia, and to his credit Premier Gordon Campbell gave Hawkins the time she needed to try and overcome her debilitating illness. Hawkins leaves behind a legacy of faith, hope and commitment that we all should appreciate and learn from.

Liberal choose long-term memory loss over Total Recall

level anti-HST sentiment here, could be first up. More than 8,000 people signed each of the three local antiHST petitions. Of course, the Liberals are fuming about the game show tactic. But their memories are short. Back in the days of the last NDP government (the late 1990s), then-Liberal supporter (now Liberal cabinet minister) Kevin Falcon launched what he called Total Recall in a bid to oust then-finance minister Paul Ramsey in Prince George. The attempt failed but the Liberals revelled in the play it got. The bottom line here is that politics, as we know it, is filled with cheap, publicity-seeking stunts. Some
succeed, some don’t. Based on the number of signatures collected for the initiative petition, Vander Zalm has 700,000 people he can ask to come on down and help him out. But the odds are against him. Unlike the HST initiative petitions, which required 10 per cent of registered voters in every riding signing within 90 days, this time it’s 40 per cent in 60 days. Premier Gordon Campbell’s bid to dull Vander Zalm’s growing popularity by immediately agreeing to make the planned September 2011 HST referendum binding, appears to have had done little to deter the Zalm. Campbell, it seemed, was hoping
to cool the heat he is feeling by putting off the vote for a year, hoping we will get used to the new 12 per cent sales tax. But the issue will not go away. And then there’s that $1.6 billion Ottawa gave Victoria to bring in the HST. Do we even have it to give it back? As one of my colleagues quipped, maybe we could just offer to pay for the next G20 meeting. So Campbell appears to have painted himself into a corner. What is unfortunate is that well-intentioned and hardworking MLAs like Letnick, Thomson and Stewart may be the ones who have to pay the price.

W WAR ON DRUGS
Problem with drugs is prohibition To the editor: I am 56 years old and have never used drugs, yet I could find most any recreational drug I cared to try before the day was out, right here in Kelowna. Which pretty much sums up the problem— whatever we have been trying to achieve with the prohibition of drugs during my lifetime has failed miserably, and look at the cost to society. It seems almost daily we see a report of another drug related shooting in Vancouver. Some 25,000 people murdered in Mexico in the past three years alone, bodies being found piled up hundreds deep in disused mine shafts. As if to send a message to the other gangs, these people are now tortured and then either beheaded or hanged. The police chief for one area of Mexico has just been arrested for his involvement with the
drug trade, with hundreds of other officers suspected of aiding the gangs for cash kickbacks; 72 bodies found on a ranch and 10 per cent of the Mexican police force sacked due to their involvement in the drug trade. We are spending billions of dollars each year to combat the problem yet the police will freely admit they stop only a small proportion of drugs hitting the market. The people they do catch are generally the foot soldiers with the top people being far too clever to be directly linked to the trade. I heard recently that the number of prisoners being held is up 45 per cent in the past 10 years, at enormous expense to the taxpayer. Yet, it would appear to make no difference to the drug trade as its numbers are increasing too. In the U.S. 90 per cent of prisoners are being held
for drug offences, with more college-age African-Americans in jail than there are in college. Many lives are being ruined before they even really begin as many of these kids are destined for a life of crime with their jail time merely training them to be better criminals. It was recently reported that the war on drugs had exactly the opposite effect to that intended. Where the police are tough on drugs it pushes the price up, this in turn makes it more attractive to organized crime as they now make bigger profits. I saw a news clip recently of Richard Nixon in 1970 speaking about the “war on drugs.” Forty years later and what can we honestly say we have achieved? We have turned addicts into criminals, when it would be far cheaper to treat their disease. We have managed to make a product that is
worth a dollar, which then sells for $10 because it is illegal; we then have items worth $100 being stolen and sold for $10 to cover the cost of the drug—devaluation of 99 per cent right there. It really is time we considered other options. Decriminalizing drugs may mean more people try them; on the other hand it may make them less attractive as they are now freely available. It will allow addicts to get the treatment they so badly need. Petty crime should surely be reduced as drugs would be freely available, organized crime would have to look for other sources of revenue as this avenue would be closed. Sending people to prison has not worked, drugs are a big problem in jails themselves—another example of how badly our current methods are failing the taxpayer. Freeing up jail space will save us a
fortune, with each prisoner costing over $100,000 per annum to house. Freeing them and putting them on benefit would be cheaper. Prohibition of alcohol did not work, all the warnings issued regarding smoking seem to have little effect and “just say no” hasn’t had any discernible affect on the drug trade. The ex-president of Mexico recently came out in favour of legalizing drugs whilst the chief superintendant of the Greater Manchester Force (an area of 10 million people) also stated legalization was the only option as policing the problem has not worked. Our tax dollars are being wasted at a time when we have a huge problem with funding our other social systems—time for change?

W PUNISHMENT
New road fines will bankrupt the poor To the editor: We have new (speeding) ticketing and exorbitantly high fines in a province with the lowest minimum wage and some of the highest taxes in Canada. I agree that some thing had to be done, but it seems this government has gone a bit too far, giving the RCMP the absolute power to adjudicate the fines and the punishment to go with it, to impound vehicles beyond seven days without a court order or hearing. To deny a low income worker of his transportation could be detrimental to their income.
capital news A21
Whereas a person above $100,000. or more, can acquire other transportation to get to their employment—no sweat off their brow. The monetary amount imposed is totally discriminatory. The working person making $60,000 gross or less, if by chance gets one of these fines imposed on them, could be totally bankrupt. On the other hand a person who has an income of $75,000 to $1 million or more gross, it is little more than pocket change for these fines. They hardly feel a thing, and it certainly would not bankrupt them.
I propose that there is a better and fairer way to make sure we are all treated the same. When it comes to the monetary amounts levied on us by the so-called justice system, with the technology today the B.C. government can access our income—taking the same percentage of our income from the wealthy as the poor, based on what was submitted in the taxes of the previous year. That would make the poor as well as the wealthy all think twice, and accountable monetarily—a level playing field for all. Frank De Smet, Kelowna

W CHINA
Falon Gong followers used as transplant material To the editor: Recently, I borrowed a book from Okanagan Regional Library entitled Bloody Harvest—The Killing Of Falun Gong For Their Organs, written by David Matas and David Kilgour, the two Canadians who have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for their effort to speak up for human rights issues. According to the book, the number of organ transplants has gone up dramatically since the persecution of Falun Gong began in China. Some transplant centers brag on their websites that they can help patient find matching organs in one week, and these organs are from living
donors. Hospitals have been documented using human bodies as raw material and a source to make big money. Patients from around the world come together and head for China on organ transplant tours. I was born and raised in Communist China. The brutality and evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is wellknown. However, it is still a big shock when I heard the CCP has been killing Falun Gong practitioners for their organs. Falun Gong, an ancient meditation practice emphasizing internal cultivation of the heart and mind, has benefited millions around the world.
The core teachings are truthfulness, compassion and tolerance. However, people inside China have no right to follow these good values in their life. So far, the persecution of Falun Gong has been lasting for over 11 years, yet the extent of the cruelty has not been fully revealed to the public. Human rights is, after all, the world’s responsibility and not any one country’s. Each of us have a moral responsibility to stop such inhumane practices when we see our fellow man getting organs to save their life at the expense of another’s life. So I urge our local medical professionals to not recommend patients
travel to China for transplants. May our human conscience and dignity be raised together here
through awareness rather than blindness. Joy Wang, Kelowna

STAFF REPORTER
Drizzles and downpours failed to keep the spawning salmon from returning upriver to Hardy Falls during the weekend’s Kokanee Salmon Festival. Martha Jenkins, of the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association, said the Sept. 19 festival has had excellent turnout in past years, with 200 to 300 people usually attending. “There is a really good turnout of kokanee in there right now,” she said. The long-running annual festival draws families to see the spawning salmon and learn more about them. Biologists talk to children about
where the salmon eggs are laid. They get the chance to look at and touch the kokanee. People with an interest in natural cycles are not the only ones looking for salmon this time of year. Jenkins noted that fishing regulations on the kokanee allow a five-fish catch until Sept. 30. “This year they upped it to five, last year it was only two.” She pointed out hot weather until recently has made the salmon harder to catch, as they go down deeper in the water during warm conditions. “Right now, it should be good.”

associated to a marijuana grow operation that was busted in Lake Country over the weekend. On Saturday afternoon, officers armed with a drug warrant showed up at a home in the 2500block of Sandy Cove Court and found nearly 500 marijuana plants in various stages of growth inside the house. “Several rooms in the residence were being utilized for the production of marijuana and (a) large quantity of dried marijuana was also located inside the residence,” said Const.

The District of Lake Country has now posted a no occupancy order on the home.
Assault charge acquittal A man accused of committing a stabbing in May has been found not guilty after a trial Monday. George Garry Lagimodiere, 53, had been charged with assault causing bodily harm in connection with a May 22 incident that happened near the 2900-block of Old Vernon Road. A woman reported to police that she had been stabbed some three days after she was injured and was taken to hospital for treatment of an apparent stab wound to her right forearm.

Playing a leading role in new economy I
Portrait clients can help the food bank
ask you this week to recognize with me that the Canadian economy has been undergoing a transformation driven by entrepreneurs who create opportunity for change and build new industries based on innovation and the global markets. In fact, fast-growth, high-risk ventures create more than two-thirds of new jobs, as such firms both serve their employees and customers quite well while strengthening their regions. Because today’s economy continues to speed ahead, in spite of the dips in the road we have experienced the past few years, policy makers regionally, provincially and nationally face significant challenges. First, how can they lay an enabling policy foundation now needed by our entrepreneurial economy? Second, how can more communities in regions such as ours in the Okanagan use the blueprint for such a foundation to become entrepreneurial hotspots? New and fresh insights into the needs of fast-growing entrepreneurial ventures might actually prompt Canadian policy makers to help start-ups prosper and alter the regional landscapes within which we live. Progressive discussion, as difficult as it appears at times, might take a look at four general themes that I see rising from studies across not only Canada, but North
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young America and abroad. 1. The biggest challenge facing entrepreneurs is finding and retaining talented people. I hear this almost as a weekly issue in the Central Okanagan. When I travel to the Vernon and Penticton areas, I hear it as well. For years, highgrowth firms were absorbed with finding money. Today, capital often appears more readily available and firms struggle to find quality people to fuel and sustain their growth plans. Education and immigration reform emerges as the highest policy issues in this regard. 2. A successful entrepreneurial community depends on a local business culture that embraces and nurtures entrepreneurs. The key institutions in such a culture are broad and informal networks— the lone-wolf mogul has seemingly become a thing of the past. Today’s entrepreneurs are consummate networkers who thrive on sharing real-time information about where to find money, managers, employees, mentors, suppliers, customers, and believe it, even new technologies. Take a look regionally
at RackForce, VineyardNetworks, SkyHigh Aerial Photography, Cherry Hill Coffee Co., and the incomparable club Penguin to name a few that attract our attention. How can our policy makers foster the creation and development of such networks in emerging entrepreneurial regions? 3. Good public policy decisions help maintain and strengthen the entrepreneurial boom, while bad decisions unnecessarily stifle growth expected. These decisions are too important for entrepreneurs to ignore. Hence, entrepreneurs and government officials must commence an ongoing dialogue, and government, at all three levels, must recast itself to do two critical things. Government must continue in its quest to craft an overall framework and institutional policy infrastructure that will enable entrepreneurial regions to thrive. Government must also stimulate and support private sector institutions that work directly with entrepreneurs to build networks and spur aggressively regional entrepreneurial development. 4. Sadly, I profess, most local economic development policies ignore the unique needs of entrepreneurial firms, even though these ventures create most of the new jobs. If local public officials wanted to get the most bang for the buck in funding economic development initiatives, they
should unquestionably, focus on entrepreneurial firms. This, for certain, is the sector in our Okanagan region that creates the new ideas, the new jobs as said, and most importantly, the culture of innovation that will lead us to growing prosperity for our future. These four points bring me to a crossroad where I would like to touch on a thought I entertain periodically—build entrepreneurs, build communities” and see where it may take us this week. While our study of entrepreneurship sees it as a booming science, most research focuses on the internal factors behind its curtain, such as the family origins and personal strengths of its venture founders, the effectiveness of various marketing strategies and of course, the secrets of business plan design. I am guilty of this weekly when I review interview questions and conduct my face-to-face meeting with entrepreneurs and write their stories. Certainly, there is a direct correlation between many of these factors and entrepreneurial success, but other factors do play a part as well. When you happen to visit an “entrepreneurial hotbed” in various regions of our nation, it is clear that “something is in the air.” But what is that something? Entrepreneurial companies are not equally distributed around

Canada. They tend to cluster in certain regions and cities. The causes of this phenomenon cannot be tied solely to the personal attributes of entrepreneurs. Can it be that people residing in certain Canadian areas are the only ones with great ideas? Not likely, some deeper processes must be at work. The key issues that keep cropping up across our nation with their similarities and that somewhat surprised me in order of importance are: • access to people • access to seed capital • access to valued information and infrastructure • role of government When you and I are experiencing those occasions when we share a visit with our policy makers who need to “listen and hear” our concerns about placing entrepreneurship in its importance in our society and our economy.

Helping the Kelowna Community Food Bank this fall is as easy as getting your picture taken. Elizabeth and Mike Soergel, of Aviva Studios, will kick off a new fundraiser this month called Christmas in September. The event will be held Sept. 25 and 26. It’s a weekend for families, couples and individuals to have professional portraits taken in support of the Kelowna Food Bank. “I’m really excited about this project,” said Mike Soergel. “It’s a great way for us to get into the spirit of giving early while providing the community with a great opportunity to support our local food bank,” he said. All participants will receive a half-hour studio portrait session with Aviva Studios and a set of 25 custom Christmas Cards for only $50, when you donate a bag of non-perishable food items for the Kelowna Food Bank.
Items always in demand include baby food, tuna, canned meat and soup. “We currently provide help to approximately 40,000 people a year through our location, and 40 per cent of those are children,” said Rob Weller, operations manager at the food bank. “Projects like Christmas in September are a great way to help maintain the levels we require to support these needs.” Space is limited for the Christmas in September event as is the beautiful Okanagan summer sun so call now to reserve your space and be part of this great weekend. For more details or to participate contact Aviva Studios at 250-317-4395 or 250-863-0630.

ach year, around this time, I dedicate a column to the topic of the heightened risk of injuries resulting from alcohol consumption at work-related events. While accidents arising out of these circumstances are seemingly few, the ramifications can be quite substantial. Canadian court cases have firmly established the employer’s duty of care to take active steps to prevent injuries as a result of its employees’ alcohol consumption. If banning alcohol from staff events altogether isn’t satisfactory, there are many steps the employer can take towards reducing the likelihood of an accident. Among other things, employers may implement a policy governing service and consumption of alcohol at company events. The first objective of such a policy is to put employees on notice that staff events are not an excuse for consuming alcohol to the point of posing a danger to themselves and others. The policy may state that the employer opposes over-consumption and, in particular, opposes the operation of a vehicle (or engaging in other inherently dangerous activities) while impaired. It may also emphasize that the purpose of the policy is to establish a protocol for responsible consumption of alcohol at staff events. The second objective of the policy is to establish basic rules to ensure the manner in which the event is organized and run discourages excessive consumption and minimizes the risk of injury.
Q
A
The employer might also distribute to its event organizers specific instructions on how to, and how not to, organize and monitor a staff Robert event. Event organizers Smithson may be made to understand that arranging and monitoring company events is considered to be an element of their job and that failure to comply with directions could have ramifications for their employment. Employers may also communicate to the employees, in writing, that they are invited to attend on the conditions that they will take responsibility for their own consumption, will moderate their intake of alcohol, and will co-operate to ensure their safety (and that of others). There are many other practical steps which may be utilized to reduce the risk of impairment and of a resulting injury. A stark example of the extent of injuries, and resulting damages, which can result from intoxication played out recently in B.C. Supreme Court. Michelle Danicek was an articling student at a Vancouver law firm, Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang, when she was injured at a nightclub. She had been out for the evening with about 20 of the firm’s students and associate lawyers for an “associates dinner” (a thrice annual, firmfunded event) at a local restaurant. Danicek had consumed alcohol at both the restaurant and the nightclub. So had another of the participants, a male associate lawyer who happened to be 6-foot-2 and weighed some 220 pounds.
LEGAL EASE
Dinner at the restaurant ended at about 10:30 p.m., after which several of the students and associates went out to a nearby nightclub. By the time of the accident, only a few of the firm’s students and associates remained. Although nobody had a clear recollection of the events leading to the accident, it is known that Danicek and the male lawyer were dancing. He fell over backwards, landed on top of Danicek, and her head struck the dance floor. The male lawyer, trying to recall the accident, stated to the court: “…(Can) I say definitively I lost my balance because I was intoxicated? “No, but I did lose my balance, and the only thing that I can point to that’s different than when I walked into this room, is that that night I was intoxicated.” The court found that, on all the evidence, the accident was due to the negligence of the male lawyer. He had breached the duty of care (which he owed to Danicek) by consuming alcohol to the extent that his impairment caused him to lose his balance and fall on top of her. Danicek subsequently tried to return to work on numerous occasions but the effects of the accident ultimately prevented her return. She suffered a range of symptoms such as grogginess, severe headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive defects, and sensitivity to noise and light. Although the court noted that Danicek was not a “reliable reporter” of her symptoms (calling her “shrewd” and noting there were “sharp limits to the reliability of her evidence”), it found that she sufSee Smithson B16

Why people don’t file their taxes I
am always amazed at the number of people who haven’t filed their taxes for the current year or a number of years. I don’t know why they think that they might be outsmarting the system by doing this. Let’s look at a few things that they are missing by not filing taxes. First there is the HST rebate. This rebate is to help low income families recoup some of the HST that they have paid during the year. It is based on family income earned which is determined when you file your income tax return. On your income tax return you should include your spouse and children so that you can maximize the credit. Also there is only one credit allowed per family. The basic credit for a single person is $250, a spouse adds $250 and each child adds $131, so if the family income is under $32,506, the family with one child could receive an additional $631. If you run a small business, you could register for HST even if you are below the 30,000 threshold to receive some of that HST back. The HST that you could receive would be the difference between what paid on purchases than you collected in sales. There is also the Quick Method of calculating HST that allows a small business to remit a smaller percentage of HST collected and not track the HST spent subject to some qualifying factors. Again, if you have a small business, perhaps you are experiencing losses. Well those losses could be accumulated on your tax return and used to offset years in which you have income. Also, if the business fails you are allowed to apply a portion of the loss against other income. If you are on any sort of social assistance program such as disability, employment insurance, Canada pension, Old Age Security, in order to take advantage of the social services that these programs offer you need to file a tax return. Qualifying for a reduced payment for B.C. medical coverage is based on your tax return. If you have children,
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka you would want to file a tax return so that you can claim child care benefits and receive the Canada Child Tax Benefit, Universal Child Tax Benefit or the Working Income Tax Benefit. These amounts together could add up to a free $7000+ per year. Then we need to look at the ethical question. What happens with all those tax dollars that the government gets? In addition to paying government officials, those tax dollars go toward funding various government programs. We might say that we don’t need any of those programs right now but I know that life can change in an instant, so perhaps in the future, we might. Maybe one of our kids or grandkids might need to use some of those ser-
vices. If people don’t pay taxes those programs cannot operate and will be shut down. We know that funding has been cut back in many areas of our medical system and that the jury is still out on whether that is because people don’t pay taxes or because our tax revenues are being mismanaged. Finally, with the continual improvement of computers and with the various government offices using computer systems that are now being integrated with each other. How long do you think it might take before the government catches up with those people who haven’t filed their taxes? If you work at a job that produces a T4 at the end of the year, the Canda Revenue Agency now has the means to match that T4 up with the person’s tax return to determine if the tax return was filed properly. Those that don’t match are being investigated. The CRA has the means to match up large purchases such as homes,

GOURMET TO GO
boats and cars with taxpayers that don’t pay taxes. When the CRA does find that you have not filed any taxes the penalty can be up to 50 per cent of the unpaid tax. The courts can impose another penalty of between 50 to 200 per cent of the tax and also require time spent in jail. The CRA has a program whereby you can come forward on a voluntary basis and file your past taxes and the penalty will be waived. You will still need to pay any taxes owed and any interest on those taxes which at today’s low interest rates will not amount to much. So over the long run, I think it’s better to file your taxes and receive some of those benefits that you might need in the future.

Green can be fashionable Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Lean and green does not have to mean without fashion and the woman who owns Frock Consignment clothing knows it. Kaela Ayrn grew up in the hippie mecca of Nelson and spent 10 years in Vancouver where recycled clothing is akin to an uber-chic label for the socially conscious. So now that she’s in Kelowna, Ayrn is prepared to strut her stuff and show off what she’s learned in a fashion show for the environmentally attuned. “If every Canadian bought just one used cotton garment, it would save
95 billion liters of water and five million kilograms of chemicals,” said Ayrn. “And why not add one piece of recycled clothing that’s a little different.” Standing out is a bit of a job hazard in the fashion business, though it should be quite the asset Sunday when Ayrn’s fashion show kicks off the 2010 Organic Okanagan Festival Entertainment Lineup. Running right behind Kiki the Eco Elf and “Dr. Sustainability” Jacques Le Cavalier, the Consignment is Green fashion show will begin at 1 p.m. and include just under 30 outfits, all comprised from the vintage duds hanging in Ayrn’s store.
Staged at Summerhill Pyramid Winery, the Organic Festival is becoming a staple of Kelowna’s festival year, now in its fifth season. Including vendors, films and speakers, like local water expert and Okanagan Basin Water Board director Anna Warwick Sears, the event is a great way to launch into the new school year with a cleaner conscience. Information can be found at www.okanagangreens.ca. General admission $5, children under 10 go free, students $4. Summerhill Pyramid Winery is located at 4870 Chute Lake Rd., Kelowna.

ENTERTAINMENT W CD REVIEWS
Santana retro the commercial way; John Legend retro the remember-the-soul way SANTANA: GUITAR HEAVEN (ARISTA)
This new Carlos Santana album comes with the ridiculous superlative subtitle: The Greatest Guitar Classics Of All Time. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quibble if the CD was simply subtitled Great Guitar Classics because who is to say if these dozen cover tunes are indeed THE greatest or not. If that were the case, Def Leppard and The Red Hot Chili Pepperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs would not be here ahead of any Chuck Berry song or, for example, Freeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alright Now. And if Santana releases a second edition will it be subtitled The Second Greatest Guitar Classics Of All Time? Anyway, Guitar Heaven is the brain child of famed music mogul Clive Davis who convinced both Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow to release multiple albums of the American songbook and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s/â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s pop hits respectively. So look for maybe a series of Santana albums covering old rock and roll warhorses and that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily a bad thing. Santana is excellent on most of these songs and he is playing guitar with a bit of uncharacteristic economy while not overwhelming these sturdy songs. The vocalists here also really shine, especially with Chris Cornell on Led Zeppelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Whole Lotta Love, Scott Weiland on The Rolling Stonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Can
You Hear Me Knocking and Rob Thomas on Creamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunshine Of Your Love. Look for India.Arie and Yo Yo Maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contributions to The Beatlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; While My Guitar Gently Weeps to be the first single and possible hit. There are a couple of duds here with a loopy, funk version of T. Rexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bang A Gong that just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work and NAS hip hop/rock take of AC/ DCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Back In Black. Note: this album also comes as a deluxe version with a 3D liner and a bonus DVD. B-
JOHNNY MATHIS: LET IT BE ME (COLUMBIA)
Like the above Santana album, this new Johnny Mathis release also has a subtitle. It is Mathis In Nashville as he has recorded an all-cover CD of golden oldie country songs. One positive of Mathis In Nashville is the musicologist notes to each song that offers nifty insights and cool historical perspectives to evergreens such as Love Me Tender, Crazy, Make The World Go Away, You Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Know Me, Please Help Me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Falling and
Theatre Kelowna Society presents a musical revue by Ron Rubadeau
the great Allan Toussaintâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Southern Nights that was a 1977 smash crossover hit for Glen Campbell. Unfortunately the liner notes also mention Ray Charlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; groundbreaking 1962 album Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music as if Mathisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new recordings were somehow on any sort of equal footing. Mathis In Nashville pales massively against Charlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; masterpiece which was a soulful revelation and helped change the course of country music. Mathis sounds like he recorded his country album in a Nashville piano bar in a lounge that only served virgin beverages. The steel guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, etc., are all mixed way too far in the background with the 75-year-old Mathisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smooth croon way too up front. The lone exceptional song here is the title track version of The Everly Brothers gem Let It Be Me sung as a lovely duet with Alison Krauss. You might hear Mathisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of Louis Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wonderful World at Christmas as Mathis

JOHN LEGEND & THE ROOTS: WAKE UP! (SONY)
This is the third album this week of all covers as John Legend & The Roots explore â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s American soul, funk and R&B as it related to the civil rights movement amidst the turmoil of the extremely unpopular Vietnam war. Legand & Co. revisit and record these topical and political classics and lesser known nuggets decades after the fact as social issues, poverty and unfortunate wars are still with us. ?uestlove (aka Ahmir Khalib Thompson) of The Roots suggests in the liner notes that people nowadays fear losing what

they gained from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s civil rights movement (re: Glen Beckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veiled threats of â&#x20AC;&#x153;taking back Americaâ&#x20AC;?) versus the hopes and inspirations represented in these soul, gospel, funk and R&B songs of yesteryear. Legend & The Roots prove on this superb recording Wake Up! that the issues are still relevant and timeless with their exceptional recordings. There are just too many highlights to mention them all but the first three songs are absolutely stunning with Curtis Mayfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1971 funk masterpiece Hard Times, Eugene McDanielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pointed Compared To What (blacklisted from See Mitchell B8

T
he countdown for BreakOut West continues as the multi-day festival, conference and awards show hits downtown Kelowna in a mere 29 days. One great thing about BreakOut West (Oct. 21 to 24) is that the focus is not only on celebrating artists and their music, but it also on the industry behind the music. The conference aspect of the weekend brings in a large number of industry professionals to share their knowledge of working in the music industry.

ity released back in 1979 by Rasses and Prince Lincoln Thompson. Other songs of note include Donnie Hathaway’s Little Ghetto Boy, Nina Simone’s (who was also banned from radio for her activism) I Wish I Knew How It Felt to Be Free and, perhaps the keynote song here, I Can’t Write Left Handed from the pen of Bill Withers about an injured soldier that syncopates along for 10+ minutes complete with a tortured guitar solo. The Roots and Legend use nothing but natural instruments on Wake Up! and the performances are enthralling and capture the zeitgeist of the past times and vexations that still seem to dog us. I’ve been listening to this fabulous disc over and over. Note: also comes as a CD/DVD version. Abwcmitchell@shaw.ca

BUSINESS
Keep booze out of the workplace
Smithson from B4 fered a traumatic brain in-
jury which has had a profound effect on her life. The medical evidence
suggested she is not likely to completely, or even substantially, recover
from certain of her symptoms. The court awarded Danicek damages (nonpecuniary damages, past income loss, loss of earning capacity, cost of future care and special damages) totaling over $5.9 million.

THERE ARE MANY GOOD REASONS FOR EMPLOYERS TO BE ACTIVE ABOUT LIMITING THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL BY THEIR EMPLOYEES.
The largest portion of that amount was $5.1 million awarded for loss of future earning capacity, due to the court’s conclusion that Danicek will not be capable of working as a lawyer in the future. The court did not make any finding that the visit to the nightclub could be characterized as a workplace event or what might be casually referred to as an office party or a staff event. The outing did follow a regular dinner outing which appears to have been sponsored by the employer (and the employer was one of the named defendants in the lawsuit). There are many good reasons for employers to be active about limiting the consumption of alcohol by their employees. Doing so is a good strategy for ensuring the employees’ safety and for staying out of B.C.’s case reports.
