Snelson evaded probing police queries Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Neil Snelson wasn’t sure how he was going to deal with the murder charge he was facing in the first few days following his arrest. “Is it your intention to plead guilty then?” Sgt. Peter Tewfik asked Snelson early into a two-andhalf hour interview, recorded Oct. 24, 2009. “I haven’t made that decision yet,” replied Snelson. “I have to talk to my lawyer about what I’m going to do.” Deferring an opportunity to make a statement until he consulted with his legal defence, Wade Jenson, was a common refrain for Snelson over the course of that lengthy interview, which jurors at the Kelowna man’s murder trial watched in court on Tuesday and Wednesday. It wasn’t a matter of if the courts would use anything he said against him, he said he’d been advised by Jenson. It was merely a matter of how. See Queries A4

Airport’s $50 million expansion ready for take-off Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The city has awarded the first contract in a multi-year, multi-phase, $50-million expansion of the Kelowna airport. The $4.8-million contract, for part of the first phase of the plan, went to Delnor Construction. It will be used to expand the existing international arrivals area in the airport terminal. The work will add space to the area that can currently handle 135 deplaning passengers and increase its capacity to 250
passengers. “Currently, if we have two planes (that just arrived) on the ground at the same time, we have a problem off-loading everyone,” said airport director Sam Samaddar. The expanded area will not only see more space added, it will also include the use of “green” technology and create a smoother flow of deplaning passengers by having them go through customs before retrieving their bags, just like in larger airports. One of the design features
in the new international arrivals area will be what is known as a rammed earth wall, which will use local materials and not reflect the colours of the local landscape but also be used to help transfer heat in the building. Geothermal and thermal massing will also be used in the construction. The total cost of the first phase will be $7.9 million once additional work, such as upgrading the airport’s emergency generators, fire alarms and other safety equipment is completed. The one-storey addition will
include expansion of the terminal to the north and will provide a new Canadian Border Services Agency primary inspection area to screen passengers arriving on international flights. As well as a new screening hall, public washrooms, an extension to the air-side corridor, new mechanical and new electrical features will be added. Work on the project is slated to start next week and is expected to be complete by next fall. Samaddar said the second phase of the project, to be started next year, will see improve-
ments made to the outbound baggage system and that will be followed by an expansion of the domestic arrivals area in 2013 or 2014 depending on the volume of passenger traffic. The expansion work is all part of the airport’s Drive to 1.6 Million, a move to ready the airport for the time when it sees 1.6 million passengers pass through the doors of its terminal. That is expected in 2014 or 2015 and the airport director See Airport A4

Appraisal values Crown land at $6.18 million
Reader survey online offers great prize
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure released the findings from an independent appraisal it commissioned to determine the value of Crown land subject for exchange in the land swap with Westbank First Nation. The appraisal, conducted by Inland Appraisers Ltd., suggests the value of the Crown land is $6.18 million. The province commissioned the appraisal after numerous objections were voiced with regard to the WFN-commissioned appraisal that suggested the land was worth $5.9 million. The variance between the two appraisals is less than five per cent. In early August, the District of West Kelowna claimed that the real value of the Crown land was worth between $28 and $42 million undeveloped and as much as $60 million developed. The findings of the independent appraisal seem to favour WFN. On Wednesday afternoon, the District of West Kelowna released the summary of findings they used to evaluate properties involved in the land exchange. DWK council engaged the services of Site Economics, a real estate financial and market advisory consultant, in the spring of 2011 to review the valuation of the 698 acres of Crown land adjacent to the Rose Valley Reservoir. In the summary, Richard Wozny, principal at Site Economics, wrote, “I
provided a general valuation estimate based on development potential, along with an estimate of the wider impact on municipal finance. “Given the large scale and complexity of these future development lands, detailed development planning information such as site servicing and net usable and salable land areas were not available.” This meant that the firm could only prepare summary draft reports using a series of general, industry standard, assumptions. “The analysis was intended to make the reader aware of the range of potential values under different scenarios, not to estimate the actual value of the lands,” Wozny wrote in the summary. “I think it’s important that all information be made public and that includes our findings,” said DWK mayor Doug Findlater. All relevant information including the DWK’s summary of findings and letters exchanged are available for public viewing at: www.districtofwestkelowna. ca (under mayor and council/current issues/land swap BC Government/WFN).

Gang reprisal fears intensifying Police have issued a public warning that anyone linked to the Duhre and Dhak group could be at risk given the recent shooting of one of their associates in Surrey on Friday evening. “We are issuing this warning to family, friends and others who are linked to these groups and highly recommend they take note of the risks when in contact with the Duhres and Dhaks, including their associates. We have reason to believe these people are being targeted by oth-
er criminal groups,” said Supt. Tom McCluskie, who heads up the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit’s Gang Task Force. The warning is unusual. “We don’t do this everyday, but we take this very seriously. Given the growing gang tensions and potential for violence in the Lower Mainland, we want to assure the public that every effort is being made to get ahead of this violence should it erupt again on our streets,” McCluskie said.
“We also want to ensure that people are warned that they could be in danger if they associate with the Duhre and Dhak group.” CFSEU’s primary objective is public safety. CFSEU has assigned a number of officers to this investigation and police are working in conjunction with the Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Section. “Our police officers have been working around the clock and will continue to do so until this
violence is curtailed,” said McCluskie. “The shooting Friday night, took place on a city street where any member of the public could have been caught in the cross fire. These public displays of violence where gang members are opening fire in public venues are completely unacceptable. “We are making every effort possible to stay ahead of the violence and encourage anyone with information to come forward.”

With just under two weeks to go to the start of the official nomination period for the municipal election, interest in a seat on council appears stronger than ever. While 49 sets of nomination papers have been picked up by potential candidates considering a run for one of the eight councillor positions, a whopping 11 sets of papers have been picked up by people considering a run for the mayor’s job. In addition to two-term incumbent Sharon Shepherd and the man she beat out for the job in 2005, Walter Gray—who served as mayor for three consecutive terms between 1996 and 2005—Kim Ouellette, who lost to Shepherd in 2008, James Murphy, Diana Van Beest, Cal Condy, Derek Barnbrook, D.

Cusworth didn’t follow advice to take a cab home
▼ COURT
Queries from A16
A clearer picture of the Kelowna man standing trial for the 1993 murder of Jennifer Cusworth is starting to emerge. Jurors were offered a view of Neil Snelson interacting with his wife days after he was arrested earlier this week, through hours of footage shot in an RCMP interview room on Oct. 24, 2009. As the black and white recording starts, Snelson and his wife unite, hug each other and cry. It’s an emotional display that Snelson later tells Sgt. Peter Tewfik, who is also in the room, he isn’t prone to. “I’m a writer,” he said. “Everything comes out that way…through music and poetry.” As he and his wife separate and compose themselves, Brandie starts to explain how their four
Although Snelson chose to offer neither a denial nor confession to Tewfik, Justice Alison Beames cautioned the jury Wednesday to not draw conclusions from his silence on the matter. No person in Canada has an obligation to speak to police, so an inference of guilt cannot be drawn from choosing to exercise that right, she explained. Snelson’s videotaped interview was a decidedly different change of pace, from the earlier half of the day where biological evidence was, once again, the focus. Specifically being examined was Dr. Ron Roy’s 1993 autopsy. Crown counsel called in Dr. William Currie, who had looked over autopsy notes at the behest of investigators in 2010. Upon reviewing the file, Currie had narrowed in on a time of death. “She died closer to the time she was seen alive than when she was dumped,” Currie testified. Currie noted he was aware of the fact that Cusworth was last seen around 4 a.m., Oct. 16, 1993. She was found Oct. 17, 1993, at 9:30 a.m. Currie made those conclusions about Cusworth’s time of death based on her body temperature, the ratio of alcohol in her vitreous fluid to the alcohol level in her blood—a sign of metabolism—and the level of rigor mortis.
Defence lawyer Grant Gray took issue with that finding, and tried to uncover whether it would be possible that Cusworth’s body would reach the same level of deterioration had the teenager drank throughout Saturday afternoon. Currie said it was a possible scenario. That said, Lynette Carney testified Wednesday that some time between 3 a.m. to 5 a.m., Cusworth was sitting on the patio of the Richter Street home where she was last seen, contemplating putting an end to her night of partying. “She said she was going to walk home, it was only a couple of blocks away,” recalled Carney, who sparked a conversation with Cusworth earlier that night over the fact they were both from the Kootenays. “I told her, this isn’t the Kootenays…we should get a cab.” When Carney returned 15 to 30 minutes after that conversation, Cusworth was gone. Carney had seen Cusworth several times throughout the night, both at the Bernard Avenue bar they’d been at and the after-party. Once at the party, which she’d arrived at with Neil Snelson and two other friends, Carney spent much of her night in the kitchen with Cusworth’s friends Pam Coulombe and Faith. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

children were digesting the changes they were facing. “I told them you were arrested for taking the life of another person,” she said. Already, she said, the four children were suffering and exploring a full gamut of emotions in different ways. One was bawling, a second had gone silent and another kept blurting out, “my dad is in jail.” “They’re very worried and very scared,” she said, telling Snelson he’s a good dad. “They love you very, very, very, very, very, very much and they always will because you’re their dad.” In time, his wife leaves and Snelson tells Tewfik how important it was to have that time. “Just to talk to her and hear her voice and understand that the kids are OK…(it’s) so important to hear,” he said.
Tewfik and Snelson then start to speak about religion, in what Snelson identifies as a round-about means to get him to speak about the charge against him—something he has refused to do based on the advice of legal counsel. Snelson had been part of the praise team, leading the Lutheran congregation in song, for several years. He started with the church after he learned they needed a bass player. “Brandie and I were looking for somewhere to land,” he explained, noting his wife was Catholic and he’s Protestant. The new church, he said, “felt like going home.” Snelson went on to explain that, although he’s religious, he considers himself a man of faith, that grew as he got older. “I’m a believer. Jesus Christ has been accepted into my life as my sav-
Where was Jennifer ? Terrifying screams broke the calm of a Bernard Avenue neighbourhood the night Jennifer Cusworth was murdered. Genesis Jessome, who testified as a Crown witness in Neil Snelson’s first degree murder trial Monday afternoon, explained she rented an apartment on the city’s main drag in 1993. She was at home, in a deep sleep when she woke up to the sound of a woman screaming on the street behind her building some time around 3:30 a.m., Oct. 16,1993. The “hysterical and terrifying” screaming got progressively worse, until it just stopped. At that point, a car door slammed and a vehicle sped away. Later, she testified, she heard more than one car door slam. Jessome explained she never looked outside her window to ascertain what the screaming was about because she wasn’t wearing her contacts and the screaming was coming from the building beside her. iour,” he said, adding he’s also flawed. That eventually led him into a conversation about his history. “I grew up in Rutland,” he said, adding that it’s the “Surrey” of Kelowna.
“A lot of kids I grew up with…you saw a police car and you ran.” However, he said he had respect for authorities, as various family members were engaged in jobs of that sort.

Dispatch centre ready to take on added workload Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Who you gonna call? When it comes to reporting fire emergencies in the South Okanagan and Similkameen, the answer, is about to become the Kelowna Fire Department. While callers in the South Okanagan will not notice any difference from what they experience now, as of Dec. 15, dispatchers in Kelowna will handle emergency fire calls for the entire South Okanagan and Similkameen. The KFD won a fiveyear contract to provide the service earlier this
summer and on Monday, Kelowna city council approved the deal. It will see the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen pay Kelowna $1.8 million over the life of the contract to handle emergency fire calls in its area. Kelowna assistant fire chief Jason Brolund said taking on the additional responsibility will not adversely impact response times or dispatch operations here but will, in fact, help improve local service. Part of the deal calls for the hiring of two more dispatchers in Kelowna and that will mean an increase to the nighttime

Currently there is often just one dispatcher on at a time at night. The cost of the new dispatchers will be borne by the revenue generated by the contract, said Brolund. Using technology,
high-tech mapping, satellite imaging and local knowledge that the Kelowna dispatchers plan to get through visits to the South Okanagan and meetings with area fire chiefs there before the contract takes effect in December, Brolund said there should be no concern about a lack of presence hindering the lo-
cal dispatchers when they deal with South Okanagan calls. Kelowna won the bid to provide dispatch services to the RDOS in June, when it beat out three other bids. For the last 21 years, City of Penticton dispatchers have handled the service in the South Okanagan.

pass through its doors in 2010. Owned and operated by the city, it is financially self-supporting. The expansion work is being paid for by the airport’s existing improvement fee, which is attached to all tickets for flights out of Kelowna. The AIF is currently $12.

Kelowna food bank excluded from possible funding source The local Community Advisory Board has excluded the Kelowna Community Food Bank from applying for Homelessness Partnering Strategy funding through 2014. HPS funding is derived from federal government dollars that enter a community with the purpose of preventing and or reducing homelessness across Canada. With the current initiative, $1.6 million has been earmarked for local distribution. The Kelowna Community Food Bank has been a recipient of HPS funding since 2004. The food bank nutrition improvement programs help play a role in the HPS mandate, as each household served is at imminent risk of eviction. The Community Advisory Board, comprised of 17 government and community agencies facilitated by Central Okanagan Regional District, formed to identify and recommend community HPS funding priorities through 2014. The CAB Community Plan, submitted and approved by Service Canada in August, identified three funding priorities— outreach, case management and information exchange. “This is a major oversight resulting from a flawed consultation process,” said Vonnie Lavers, executive director of the Kelowna food bank, in a press release. “Although we submitted an online survey questionnaire, we did not feel a part of the consultations. “We are very disappointed in the content of the plan and by the way the so-called consultation was conducted.” Lavers lists a number of concerns including a short time frame and lack of transparency. “There was no public notice, we were not invited to attend a meeting and did not receive a draft copy before the plan was submitted,” she said. “The preventative role we play and the importance of food and nutrition in our overall community health was completely ignored.” Lavers says that under the present terms, the food bank cannot apply for HPS funding until after 2014. “We don’t have outreach workers; however we are a major resource for outreach workers and all the agencies we serve,
including those on the CAB. We need funds for food so that we can keep at-risk families in their homes.”
Last year, approximately 13,000 individual households accessed food bank services, Lavers said.
“ We help people lower their monthly food bill so they can stay housed.” Lavers says that Service Canada allows for up
to 10 program issues to be defined in the Community Plan, which identifies seven and of those, only three are listed as priorities.
“We requested the plan be amended to include a fourth priority: food, nutrition and prevention.” Members of the pub-
lic interested in reviewing the plan are encouraged to visit The Kelowna Food Bank’s website at www. KelownaFoodBank.com.

Beware of online predators
T
he story of Robert Kleisinger is a chilling reminder for all parents of the predators that lurk online. It also serves as encouragement—that due diligence can result in rescuing a youngster from a highly dangerous situation, and might even result in putting one of these ghouls in prison. Kudos to Kleisinger, and to the Abbotsford Police for calling attention to his actions by officially commending him. Kleisinger’s attention was
alerted when he saw a photo of what appeared to be adult man communicating online with his 15-year-old stepdaughter. The stepfather set up a monitoring program on her computer, and after gathering evidence, he went to police. As an investigating officer and Kleisinger continued to monitor the conversations, it became apparent the man was grooming the young teen for a sexual relationship. Reise and the girl not only
250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575
communicated online, but often met in person. He bought her gifts, such as a bicycle and an iPod, while promising other presents, including a puppy, a cruise when she turned 16, a cellphone and concert tickets. It was also discovered he had a lengthy criminal history involving property crimes and theft in Canada and the U.S. Ultimately, the investigation led to the laying of charges, and eventual sentencing in April of Jason (Booda) Reise, 35, for sex-
ual interference and communicating via a computer to lure a child under 16. He was then handed over to American authorities for parole violations. A predator has been put behind bars, for a considerable time. All parents must pay heed to this case, for many more like it exist. There are a host of online creeps out there, waiting to prey on young teens. Often, all that stands between potential victims and their hunters is an attentive, communicative parent.

Post-secondary education is an investment in yourself
T
o some people the cost of going to college or university is quite expensive. To others it doesn’t seem so bad. It all depends on where you sit financially. Many high school students from low-income families often view a postsecondary credential as unaffordable. This in turn leads them to discount the value of going to college or university after high school. What they do see are the up-front costs associated with tuition, books, moving away from home, etc. They aren’t able to compute the cost of getting a post-secondary cre-
dential against the benefits of a lifetime of higher wages and better job security. They don’t understand that their post highJane school job at $10 an Muskens hour probably isn’t the best investment for the future. Some may also fear the debt side of education, where getting a student loan is well beyond their comfort level. Going into debt to the tune of thousands of dollars a year is just too much to handle. It boils down to a form of financial illiteracy and it can stop young adults
SCHOOL’S IN
from moving forward. No one is able to convince them how investing in two years of college study, at approximately $12,000 per year— everything accounted for - will give them a credential that will substantially increase their earnings. From graduation, it is only a matter of time before their student loan is paid off (usually the government forgives a portion of the loan upon graduation) and now they have a better job than before, with more opportunities for advancement. This picture of going into debt and not working after high school may also not fit well with the expectations of their parents. And that’s why it’s so hard to show these students the value of get-
ting a post-secondary education. To help students overcome this financial barrier, work needs to be done earlier, not with just the student but the parents as well. Students (the younger the better) need to be able to aspire to go to college or university, they need to feel comfortable gathering relevant information and they should talk to their parents about their choices. Parents, on the other hand, need to support their children as much as possible. If they didn’t have the chance to go to college, they shouldn’t turn that into a reason to stop their children from enrolling. When graduation looms, both the high school student and the parents
need to be clear about the costs associated with getting a credential. They need to increase their own financial literacy about the various options available, such as grants for students from low-income families, loans, bursaries and scholarships. It’s in the best interests for all of us—including the government—that young adults have the opportunity to attend college or university and to have some kind of financial security beyond minimum wage. That’s why we see millions of tax dollars going into post-secondary education, why both the federal and provincial governments provide funding to students.

Extra fancy Gala’s from Washington State after saying in July that the only time that they import Washington State apples is when their packing house inventory has run out, which is late in the season. This has never happened before at a start of a season in talking with people working in the industry and it should be stopped. BCTF should have its separate identity from the
BCFGA and concentrate on selling and marketing B.C. apples, period. The time has come to cut the ties whereas BC Tree Fruits, and the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative do not have the same CEO running both organization and time for the orchardist to take back control of what they already own.

▼ CAT BYLAW
Time to get tough and spay/neuter all cats To the editor: The intensive, yearlong cooperation between a Glenmore association and the Okanagan Humane Society (numerous reports and data to the City Hall) resulted in the first bylaw to control the cat overpopulation. This is the first tiny step to improve the lives of domestic (not wild) cats and kittens being dumped on a daily basis by dozens of irresponsible people who couldn’t bother to have their female cat fixed. These are people that
take a “free” cute kitten seen in a zillion ads; people who throw them out later when they’re not so cute any more, in heat, pregnant, just like a pair of an old socks, making them live a life of starvation, suffering, disease. The city staff directed their focus on retail pet stores only; it took 12 months. Mr. Fleming says there are three pet stores that would be impacted by a bylaw. Breeders, classified ads, however, would not. Wow! First of all,
there is only one pet store in Rutland left still selling unaltered animals. The two largest pet stores in town, recognizing the cat problem in the community, signed contracts with the Humane Society and other animal charities to help find homes for the homeless, 100 per cent altered animals. This happened without any incentive from City Hall. The cooperation started long before city staff decided to put it on the table. The remaining pet
stores sell no pets, rather top quality pet food only. So, “hitting” the pet stores will not change anything in a disastrous situation. Cats and kittens are left all over the municipality, the SPCA shelter is full to the rooftop and the number of people on the “waiting” list to dump their cats is a staggering 300. Waiting? Really? The answer is clear: Introduce a bylaw that requires all cats to be spayed/neutered unless one buys a breeding licence from city. “Some will protest
that such strict controls are more government interference in private lives, and that education is the answer. That has already proved to be patent nonsense. “Publicity campaigns urging people to voluntarily get their pets fixed haven’t worked. Now it’s time to get tough. If people can’t be responsible owners on their own, society must force them. No pussy-footing around.” (Capital News, Our View, July 12, 2000) Helena Pol, Kelowna

City-wide drive helps fill food bank shelves To the editor: On behalf of the Kelowna Community Food Bank and the hundreds of volunteers, we would like to personally thank each an every one of you who donated food items to the city-wide food drive last weekend. Through your efforts more than 17,000 pounds of non-perishable food,
worth approximately $34,000, was collected. But far more than the amount was the generosity of Kelowna and area residents in helping those in need that made our efforts worthwhile. The food collected last Saturday will enable the food bank to better respond to families in need. Last weekend’s B.C.
Thanksgiving Food Drive was a project of families helping families. Families are the primary food bank recipients and this food drive provided an opportunity for our many volunteer families, groups and organizations to support less fortunate Kelowna families. The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive is a non-
denominational, community-focused project open to all interested individuals, groups, and businesses that wish to lend a hand to help the needs of the hungry. Our thanks to the Peachland Girl Guides, Save On Foods, the Kelowna Rugby Athletics Club and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day

Police response to gang crime Express yourself
To the editor: Re: Shooting at The Delta Grand I have friends who are currently with the RCMP and some retired from the RCMP. I have great respect for them and the job that they do. I would not want their job and I thank them for doing it, but— how can there be a shooting in broad daylight in downtown Kelowna and everyone gets away? They knew the escape vehicle was a grey SUV. How can it be driven undetected to Lake Country and set on fire before they found it? I would have expected that the RCMP would have had a plan in place
to lock down all the escape routes within a few minutes. Kelowna should be easy. By road from downtown you can only go across the bridge, north via Glenmore Road and Highway 97 or south via Pandosy, Lakeshore and Chute Lake Road. If we always had officers in each sector it should be possible to seal off all escape routes in minutes at anytime. This could also be useful for bank robberies and other crimes. This should be practiced like a military operation. Please take this as constructive criticism and again, thank you for all you do. Bert Chapman, Kelowna

NEWS ▼ ANTIQUES
Finding a value on heritage items is a tricky business Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
One can tell a lot from a person’s drawers, according to Peter Blundell, antique aficionado. Bring a drawer, measurements and a picture of an old antique dresser to Blundell, for example, and he can likely tell you what side of the Atlantic your piece of furniture was produced on, along with how much it’s worth. “There are certain things that Europeans did and North Americans did,” Blundell explains. “So you can tell quite a bit without seeing the
whole piece of furniture.” The English, for example, had a quarter round—like the end of a broom handle cut into quarters—inserted in the bottom corners of a drawer to prevent shrinkage and stop dust and moths from getting in to wreck the owner’s clothing. There are also specific types of wood in Europe versus North America, which generally gives away a piece’s origin. After writing three books on furniture, the Fintry resident says he can even smell an old household furnishing and start compiling information
for an appraisal. And early this October he’s going to demonstrate these talents at the Kelowna Art Gallery’s Heirloom Discovery Day fundraiser. Joined by his friend Anthony Westbridge, owner of Vancouverbased Westbridge Fine Arts and the author of the Canadian Arts Sales Index and Collector’s Dictionary of Canadian Artists at Auction, the pair will be offering up unofficial appraisals for $35 for anyone wondering how much their antique curios and art works are worth. Westbridge is a highly regarded art appraiser. The
September days 2011
index he compiles pulls together a compilation of data on art sales over $200 from all over the country, keeping him on top of exactly what’s happening in the market. The pair give unofficial appraisals because they are not able to do the thorough research they would if privately commissioned within the 15-minute time frame set aside. That said, both know their business well. Blundell says he reads $105 worth of magazines each month and hits roughly 35 antique shops just to stay on top of his game. He bought his first antique at the age of eight and has lived through the online appraisal age—an idea he says really doesn’t
work as the Internet is structured for people to try and get the most for their belongings rather than an accurate accounting. “I think what happens is people shop for values. If they don’t know what something is worth, they will put a high price on it and then look for someone to bite,” he said. “And then other people take it as the price that it’s worth.” Art and antique collection is a tricky business if you’re in it for the business, according to Blundell, who says it’s almost impossible to predict what’s going to be a hit with antique geeks 20 years down the line. That said, if you love something it’s generally
worth it. His first antique was a Bartlett print and, while his mother thought the $8 he spent on it was a thorough waste of money, he’s managed to assemble a collection of the painter and illustrator’s work he’s clearly taken with. Westbridge does see worth in the Internet medium, meanwhile. He is said to be providing opinions about the values Okanagan art with a possible view to taking some works to Vancouver for inclusion in one of his live, online auctions (held monthly). While art of all kinds will be appraised, he is particularly interested in Canadian art. Blundell will give opinions on an-

Speeder hits the 180 k/hr mark Roger Knox CONTRIBUTOR
The first clocking on the southbound Vernon RCMP officer’s radar machine showed the northbound motorcycle coming towards Vernon going at 180 kilometres/hour. Making a quick check to ensure the radar’s accuracy, a second clocking showed the motorcycle passing vehicles near Birnie Road, on Highway 97, going at 176 km/h, nearly double the posted speed limit. “The officer radioed ahead to Vernon members to see if they could catch the bike coming into the city,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “A second officer caught the bike and stayed with it until the first officer came to identify the driver.” The 20-year-old Kelowna driver was given a ticket for excessive speeding, which comes with a $483 fine, and his Kawasaki bike was impounded for seven days.

Safe footwear healthy choice M
aintaining footSENIORS’ wear in good CONCERNS condition will not only increase the life of the shoes, boots or slippers, but also keep seniors healthy by helping to prevent falls. Sharen When seniors wear Marteny proper footwear, then the general health of their feet will be maintained, which is essential for seniors with diabetes. Seniors will often not purchase new shoes or repair old shoes. The soles of their shoes eventually become cracked and catch on surfaces which may cause a person to trip. If seniors with diabetes are wearing shoes that have soles with holes in them and they step on something that cuts their feet, they might not be aware of the injuries they have incurred. These injuries could go unnoticed for sometime if the seniors are not able to see the bottoms of their feet. Ladies often let the heels of their shoes wear down to the metal. Besides damaging the shoes, the chances are increased for falling. There needs to be an even surface on the bottom of the heel of the shoe. Many soles but in particular leather soles can be slippery. To prevent this slickness a thin rubber sole can be attached to the leather sole to provide traction. There are both summer and winter top soles that can be put on and changed as the seasons do for better traction and protection just like summer and winter tires for your car, Seniors should wear shoes and slippers that are designed to give support around the total foot. Footwear that is designed to just slide the foot into is not safe for seniors to wear. It is too easy for the foot to slide out and for the seniors to trip and fall. Slippers should have a non-slip sole. This is particularly important as they may be worn in bathrooms with granite or marble floors which have a slippery surface. Some seniors with arthritis may have problems tying shoelaces and then do not bother, which becomes another tripping hazard. For them, the answer might be to wear shoes with Velcro closures. Shoes with adjustable Velcro closures are also great for people whose feet swell up during the day. New shoes can be tight during that ‘break-in’ period. However, seniors do not need to suffer with footwear that is too tight. Leather can be gently stretched to fit the size of the senior’s foot. This is particularly helpful if one foot tends to swell up more than the other, and is also useful for seniors with bunions and corns. For family members who are always looking for gifts there are 24-inch long shoe horns that are useful for those who have problems bending over or putting on their shoes. During the winter, an easy and inexpensive way to help prevent slipping and breaking a hip is to get traction on ice and snow by wearing a pair of traction aids on the bottom of your shoes. Thank you to Jim Belshaw from Roy’s Shoes, 250763-5696, for providing information for my column this week.

Colleen Williamson doesn’t have any family to speak with in Kelowna. But every weekday morning, between 9:10 and 9:20 a.m., she sits near the phone and awaits a call from someone who cares. The Senior Contact Program is an initiative geared to serve anyone who is living alone and does not have a regular caregiver, friend or relative checking in on him/her on a regular basis. Volunteer staff based out of community policing offices in Glenmore, Mission and Rutland typically call those signed up between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. from Monday to Friday. If there is no answer, the volunteer will call back at least three times within the hour. If there is still no answer, the volunteer will then contact one of the people listed as an emergency contact. “They call me every morning between 9:10 and 9:20 a.m.; that’s a good time for me,” said Williamson. “First of all they ask me how I’m feeling. That’s a good thing because some days are better than others.” Williamson said that if it weren’t for the program, her out-of-town family would be much more worried about her. “I would recommend it to anybody that’s in a situation similar to mine. I depend on it.” Colleen Cornock manages the pro-
gram for the Kelowna detachment. She said feedback from users has been encouraging. “It’s been a very positive experience for our seniors. It’s given them a chance to get to know volunteers within the community and also get to know their Kelowna detachment, because a lot of times they are isolated within their communities,” said Cornock. Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon said that the program has been running for about five years. The Senior Contact Program is one of 32 different community initiatives produced by the RCMP. “If you don’t have family or somebody checking up on you, then who does? We have lots of those people in this community,” said McKinnon. McKinnon said he’s pushing to get the program included in West Kelowna and Lake Country as well. Volunteers go through a very detailed procedure when contacting the seniors. Some of the guidelines include calling the senior at the same time each morning, leaving a message if the senior doesn’t answer, allowing him/her an hour to call back and monitoring the sound of the client’s voice to ensure he/ she is alright. Those who are living on their own and don’t have family, relatives or a regular caregiver in the Central Okanagan qualify for the program. For more information contact the Senior Contact Program at: 250-763-1531 (Glenmore), 250-764-5004 (Mission) or 250-765-6355 (Rutland).

Warriors name Rockets’ net in goods hands Berglund team captain Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The Westside Warriors will look to Izaak Berglund to step up his leadership role this season. The B.C. Hockey League club this week named the 20-year-old defenceman as their captain for the 2011-12 campaign. Berglund, from Little Falls, Minn., inherits the captaincy from Alex Grieve who has graduated from the program and will play collegiate hockey this season at Bentley. “It’s a great honour and privilege to be named captain” said Berglund. “I’m excited for this responsibility, and I’m going to do my best.” The rugged 6-foot0, 205-pound blue-liner is expected to lead a strong and mobile defensive corps for Westside this year. “As always, the big goal is to go to the RBC Cup and win a championship” Berglund said of the coming season. “It’s going to take some work, but I think we have the group of guys to accomplish that goal. ”We just need to work hard and stay on the right track.” Last season, Berglund appeared in 42 regular season games, compiling two goals and adding 12 assists and 50 penalty minutes. In the playoffs he added three assists in nine games. Berglund will be as-

sisted by a trio of B.C. Hockey League veterans. Returning Warriors Max French and Shawn Hochhausen (both local products) will be assistant captains, as will Richard Vanderhoek, who was acquired from the Surrey Eagles in the off-season. The Warriors open the 2011-12 regular season this Friday night in Trail against the Smoke Eaters. The teams will meet again on Saturday night. Westside’s home opener is set for Friday, Sept. 30 against the defending champion Vernon Vipers, a 7 p.m. start at Royal LePage Place.
Kim Dillabaugh calls it a “good problem” any coaching staff would be happy to have. Finding enough crease time to keep both Kelowna Rockets goaltenders content during the course of the 2011-12 campaign should prove to be a challenge. Veteran No. 1 man Adam Brown, and 18-year-old Jordon Cooke give the Rockets what many believe is the best 1-2 combo of stoppers in the Western Hockey League. “You look at Adam Brown he was our MVP, he had a great year last year, so how often do you want your MVP sitting on the bench ?” said Dillabaugh, the Rockets goaltending coach. “We look for Adam to improve on what he did and have another great season. “As for Jordon, he has progressed well,” added Dillabaugh, “he’s pushing for more playing time and can take a step forward this year. We feel very comfortable with both guys of regardless of who’s in there. Having two good goaltenders who both want to play, it’s a good problem. We’ll see how the season plays out and how both guys respond to the opportunities they get.” Brown has been the Rockets workhorse the last two seasons, playing in 59 and 60 games, respectively. His numbers were among the league’s best in 2010-11 with 36 wins, a 2.59 goals against

CINDY ROGERS/CONTRIBUTOR
VETERAN GOALTENDER Adam Brown, 20, is entering his fourth and final season of major junior hockey with the Kelowna Rockets. average, and a .916 save percentage. As the incumbent starter, the reins will again be handed to the 20-yearold from Yorba Linda, Calif., for his fourth and final season of major junior hockey. Still, Brown is taking nothing for granted and knows the Rockets have a capable backup who is ready step in at a moment’s notice. “Obviously the decision of who plays is not up to us,” said Brown. “When we both get in there, we want to play our best. We both want to be playing, so it’s a bit of a healthy competition that we have, and whatever happens, happens. “Jordon and I are going to be supportive of the
other guy and, as much as you want to be the guy, the team comes first. I think it’ll push both of us to be better.” With three seasons of major junior under his belt—and pro camps with the L.A. Kings and Edmonton Oilers—the Rockets expect to see Brown’s experience manifest itself in more ways than just stopping pucks. As one of three overagers, Brown will also be called on for leadership. “I’m looking forward to taking on more of a leadership role,” said Brown. “I think it starts off the ice with my work ethic and preparation for games, and hopefully that rubs off on the younger guys. I also need to make sure everybody knows
what to expect coming into the season here, the pace really picks up from pre-season. “I know this is my last year and I want to make the most of it, both with my play and as a leader.” In Cooke’s case, the Leduc, Alta., native appeared in 19 games in his rookie campaign, posting a 3.03 goals against average and a .913 save percentage. As Brown’s backup, Cooke realizes he’ll have to scratch and claw for more playing time, but believes it will simply make him a better goaltender in the long-run. “Being behind one of the best goalies in the league, it’s going to very hard for me to get as many starts as I’d like, but that’s
why I have to be ready when I do get the opportunity,” Cooke said. “I need to play my game, work hard, and just go from there. No goalie wants to sit and watch, so anytime I get that chance I’ll need to play well.” What Cooke and Brown both agree on is the potential they see in the 2011-12 version of the Rockets. Despite having one of the league’s youngest teams, Brown believes the Rockets will more than hold their own in the B.C. Division. “We have a lot of young guys, but I think we all have a lot of confidence in them, and there’s a lot of skill there, and they’re pretty mature for their age,” Brown said. “Obviously, there’s going to be a bit of a learning curve but I expect everybody on the team to perform well, and once we come together, I think we’ll have a really solid team. I’m excited to see what we can do.” The Rockets open the 2011-12 regular season this Saturday night in Everett against the Silvertips. Kelowna’s first home action is Saturday, Oct. 1 against the Vancouver Giants.

In his second game, in a 4-1 Frankfurt win over Hansa Rostock on Friday night, Friend played the last seven minutes and registered one shot on goal.

Nelson has strong World Ironman Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Laurelee Nelson insists she’s as passionate as ever about competing in triathlons. When you take a look at the 57-year-old Kelowna woman’s track record in the sport over the last five years, it’s easy to see why. Nelson (formerly Welder) is coming off yet another impressive result, a second-place showing in the women’s 55 to 59 age group at the World Ironman 70.3 (half iron) Championship earlier this month in Henderson, Nevada. Nelson covered the 2 km swim, 90 km bike and 21.1 km run in the desert heat in five hours 34 minutes 40 seconds. The result was good enough to qualify her for the World Ironman Championships (full iron) next month in Kona, Hawaii. Nelson’s best showing at worlds came last year, in her third appearance, as she took fourth place in Kona in the women’s

55 to 59 age division in 11 hours 40 minutes. She’ll head to Hawaii a week prior to the Oct. 8 race to both acclimatize and enjoy some R and R before the big day. “I’d like to be on the podium,” Welder said of her goals in Hawaii. “Ideally, it would be nice to come second, but hey, a top five would be great, too. “We’re going down there to relax, check out
the sites and then, hopefully do well in the race.” To call Nelson a natural at the sport of triathlon would be an understatement. That’s not to say success hasn’t come without a high level of commitment and hard work, but she was a quick study from the outset. In very her first ever attempt at Ironman Canada in 2006, she placed third out of 53 competitors in the women’s 50 to 54 age class. Then from 2008 through 2010, Nelson won her age group each and every time, setting two course records in the process. Her time of 11:06 last year for the 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike ride and 42.2 km run stands as her personal best. Spurred on by being physically fit and her will to compete, Nelson has never enjoyed her life as a triathlete more. “It’s such a big part of my lifestyle, I really enjoy the racing itself,” said Nelson, who is sponsored locally by Fresh Air

Experience. “At the same time you have to balance everything, you don’t want to shortchange your friends or family. It helps that (partner) Don (Debienne) competes, too, we understand what each other loves about it, and we can enjoy it together. “As long as I can stay healthy and uninjured, I’ll keeping doing it.” In addition to the thrill of her own accomplishments, Nelson takes satisfaction in the exploits of her fellow Okanagan triathletes. Particularly inspiring to her at World Ironmanj 70.3 in Nevada earlier this month was the performance of Penticton’s Jeff Symonds, 26, a pro who placed third overall in a very tough international field in a time of 3:45:42. “It was exciting seeing Jeff down there, really an unknown, a young Canadian guy who came across the line smiling with a fist-pump” said Nelson. “There were 108 Canadians in the race, and Jeff did us all proud.” One other local triathlete completed the race in Nevada. Heather Wurtele, 32, finished seventh among pro women, and 111th overall in 4:35:36.

Heat host Seattle in men’s hoops
The UBC Okanagan Heat men’s basketball squad will host the Seattle Mountaineers for a pair of exhibition games this weekend. On Saturday, Immaculata Regional High school will serve as the host venue, with tip-off set for 8 p.m. Sunday afternoon the Heat and Mountaineers flock horns again, this time at UBC’s Okanagan campus at 1 p.m. The Mountaineers are just starting their ABA schedule for the 2011-12 season after finishing last fseason sixth in the rankings. The Mountaineers are made up of mostly graduated American college players. The Mountaineers roster this season features one Canadian, Billy McNutt, a 6-foot-9 forward from New Brunswick. McNutt is familiar with the gym on UBC’s Okanagan campus having played their several times when he was with the national champion Douglas College Royals. The Heat is looking forward to getting into some game action in ad-
vance of their first season in the Canada West conference. “After a solid month of training I can see it in the guy’s faces, they just need to get on the floor and compete against somebody other than ourselves,” said head coach Daren Semeniuk. “I’ve never had a crew train so hard, from two-a-days in August to jump into a full school load add on top of that practices and heavy training workouts in September. These guys just need to get out and play.” Immaculata School will be using the exhibition game as a way to raise awareness of basketball in the community. Immaculata senior boys basketball coach, Dino Gini is excited about what the game represents. “I am excited to have the opportunity to have the UBC Heat men’s basketball program play an exhibition game at Immaculata Regional High School,” said Gini. “With the athletic program’s big step to CIS this year, I think this is a great showcase of the team to the
high school and community. I am a big Heat fan and hope to create a fun atmosphere and pack the gym for Coach Semeniuk and team. ”

Marathon cyclist cited for fighting mental illness stigma Michael Schratter, a Vancouver school teacher who is cycling solo around the world to fight the stigma associated with mental illness, is the first recipient of an award named for revered mental health advocate Dr. Nancy Hall. The Nancy Hall Public Policy Leadership Award was presented last week to Schratter in Kelowna during a national mental health conference. Schratter is a unique choice for this award, which recognizes individuals who have influenced mental health policy. It might otherwise go to an academic or a health policy expert, but Schratter is aiming to make a worldwide impact on mental health care public policy. His understanding of mental illness has been forged through his own experiences. He has lived with depression, and attempted suicide at his lowest point. He has been diagnosed with hypomania, a form of bipolar disorder as well as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. In a bid to foster greater awareness of mental health issues and help empower people dealing with mental health challenges, Schratter has embarked on his Ride Don’t Hide cycling journey that began on Aug. 1, 2010, with the goal of cycling 40,000 kilometres around the world. His objective is to shatter the stigma around mental illness by speaking openly about his own battle with mental illness with people he meets in public gatherings, through the media and via his web site www.ridedonthide. com. He has raised more than $42,000 for youth and children’s programs for mental health, and hopes to raise at least $100,000 by the time he is done. Schratter interrupted his Ride Don’t Hide mission to fly into Kelowna to accept the award. He is now back on the road, pedalling from Thunder Bay on the final leg across Canada. After crossing six continents and 30 countries, he may face his greatest challenge to complete the ride to Victoria without encountering winter conditions in the mountain passes on
the way to the coast. David Hall, brother of Nancy Hall, said Shratter’s response to his mental health challenges has been inspiring. “Unable to accept the stigma that continues to linger around mental illness,” Hall said, “he has taken it upon himself to get on his bicycle and pedal around the world to spread the message that mental illness is a disease like any other.”

NEWS ▼ ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS
The New York Times is taking notice—are you? T he chemical world that we have ignorantly immersed ourselves in is taking its toll. Since the Second World War, we have blindly saturated our living environments with toxic chemicals that are causing a devastating effect on human health, animals and the earth itself. And the world is finally taking notice of the human suffering and tragedy that goes hand in hand
plight of those who suffer from environmental illness and their struggle for survival. The pictorial is called Everything Makes Them Sick with five photos in printed form and another 13 available to view online at http://www. nytimes.com/interactive/2011/09/18/opinion/sunday/201109 18_ OPINION_ALLERGYGOBIG.html#1 As you know, a picture speaks a thousand
EMOTIONAL RESCUE
Annie Hopper with environmental illnesses. In the New York Times pictorial of Sunday, Sept. 18, there were hauntingly real photographs that journal the
1 2
words and we are all very hopeful that this will increase awareness of these often disabling conditions. Thilde Jensen is the photo journalist who contributed the pictures for this article. Not only is Thilde a very talented photo journalist, but she is personally very passionate about this topic as she has experienced first hand the suffering that is involved. Her life was very full
and rewarding until she suffered from a toxic injury to her brain and body that left her trying to survive in a world that had become inhabitable for her. She soon developed both severe chemical and electrical sensitivities that consumed all of her time and energy. She had gone from living a full life with a thriving career to merely surviving one day at a time.

At one point, Thilde lived in a tent for two years. Not because she wanted to, but because that was the only place she could live without experiencing the disabling physical symptoms that often go hand in hand with these illnesses. The initial toxic trauma had caused damage and disorganization of neural networks in her brain that was keeping her brain and body in a cycle of chronic illness. We are very happy to report that Thilde took the dynamic neural retraining system exactly one year ago to the day that her article appeared in the New York Times. What makes this story even better is that Thilde is now able to do what she wants to do and go anywhere that she wants. She embraced the dynamic neural retraining program full-heartedly and focused all of the energy that she was using to survive into rewiring the neural circuits of the limbic system. And in successfully rewiring the neural circuits associated with these illnesses, she no longer has to suffer, or live as disabled, and has moved on to helping those who are still suffering. Neuroplasticity indeed changed her life in
the biggest way possible. And with her new freedom to engage in the world, Thilde has graciously combined her passion of photo journalism with the need to create greater awareness of these conditions and environmental awareness. The New York Times article also references the neuroplasticity based program that I teach. In the article, it’s referred to as “experimental neural therapy based on advances in stroke rehabilitation.” Needless to say that mention of it in the New York Times has created global awareness of our work and people who are suffering have been given hope that there is a way out of this living nightmare. It is imperative that our society both recognizes these set of environmental illnesses as very real disabilities, and to help those who are still suffering. It is equally imperative that we look at how we can change the way that we live on this planet to prevent these illnesses to begin with. Annie Hopper is a brain retraining specialist. 250-862-1766 www.dnrsystem.com

Mayor says Crown lands are ‘developable’ Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Mayor Doug Findlater and district councillors David Knowles, Duane Ophus and Carol Zanon hiked areas around the Rose Valley Reservoir on Monday that are part of the Crown land parcel in the proposed land swap between the province and Westbank First Nation. In August, B.C. Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Blair Lekstrom said that the 698-acre undeveloped parcel, in many cases, can’t be developed. But the West Kelowna council contingent set out to prove the opposite was true. “The province has contended that the Crown land is almost undevelopable because of the steep and rocky terrain,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. “Our contention is quite the opposite. In terms of the terrain, even the steeper slopes (are) quite developable. We’re very concerned about that kind of development adjacent to a watershed.” Findlater made it clear that he didn’t want to see the area become developed. “I would go so far at this point, as we ponder this whole thing, (to say) this should be part of Rose Valley Regional Park, as are the parcels to the south.”
Findlater compared the area to Dilworth Mountain in Kelowna. “In terms of the terrain, you’ve got something that resembles Dilworth Mountain. With a bit of dynamite, you can do a lot of road building and lot clearing. The higher elevations there would have a 360-degree view of not only Rose Valley Lake right there, but Okanagan Lake and Kelowna.” Findlater still fears what is unknown to the district. “They won’t tell us what’s really involved in this. At various times we’ve heard some members of WFN council mention 1,000 acres. This is less than 700. We’d really like to know because we’re in such close proximity; we’d like to know what the impact is.” According to Findlater, the problem isn’t a short-term one. “If this deal goes through, I don’t think it’s the end of the world next year. But I think 10, 20, 30 or 40 years out, people will be saying, ‘What were those people thinking back in 2011 to go along with this?’ This is a long-term problem, not a short-term problem.” The Rose Valley Reservoir serves approximately 10,000 people, one-third of the municipality. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

Councillors take issue with Dinwoodie firm’s report Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
A feisty debate about a West Kelowna development industry report had some members of council agitated on Tuesday. Aaron Dinwoodie and Bob Fearnley, of R.J. Fearnley and Associates ,presented a report on the development industry to district ouncil. Earlier this year, R.J. Fearnley and Associates was hired by a consortium of development and construction industry stakeholders who expressed frustration in attempting to navigate West Kelowna’s development application approval process.
The report gave multiple recommendations on how West Kelowna can improve upon their accommodation of development. Some of the process related suggestions included making the development approval process easier to understand, processing applications quicker, establishing a system for fast-tracking projects, using a specific staff person to move applications through the approval process and prezoning the whole downtown core complete with building envelopes, density and height to reduce processing times. The community re-
lated suggestions included rehabilitating relationships with the province, the Central Okanagan Regional District, Westbank First Nation and the Chamber of Commerce, creating a more clear and concise Official Community Plan, developing unique selling points to differentiate West Kelowna from other communities and moving the district hall back into the Westbank centre. Coun. Duane Ophus suggested that the report was subjective. “What struck me really is the absence of what I would characterize as objective measures: Where we’re really at with regard
to development,” said Ophus. Ophus asked Fearnley how West Kelowna’s growth compared with other municipalities, in similar circumstances, across the province. Bob Fearnley said the district’s growth was actually higher than some of those comparable municipalities. This made Ophus even more upset about the report’s general criticisms. “You just said that we’ve actually done better, in terms of growth over the last few years, than similar communities and yet you’ve come to the conclusion that we have significant prob-
lems,” said Ophus. Coun. Bryden Winsby took exception to the comment that West Kelowna should create a more clear and concise OCP. “One of the recommendations is that we could present to the community an OCP of 20 to 30 pages. That’s a rather interesting proposition. I did a little research and I went to the community plans of communities of similar size to our own to find out how big their community plans are,” said Winsby. According to Winsby’s findings, most OCPs in similar size municipalities were at least 100 pages. He asked Fearnley to
give him an example of a municipality that had a 20 to 30 page OCP. Fearnley said he couldn’t give Winsby a specific example, saying that the general trend is to reduce the size of the OCPs. “It’s supposed to be a document about leadership, vision and principals and it’s supposed to be short and inspiring. It’s not supposed to put people to sleep,” said Fearnley. Mayor Doug Findlater said many of the concerns outlined in the report were familiar territory. “We’ve heard (the concerns). Council has acted on them in the sense that early this past summer, council engaged its own

review to look at some of the issues. They’ve reached some of the same conclusions,” said Findlater. The mayor mentioned that council is aware the current development approval process is too lengthy. “It takes too long, we know that. We’re taking steps to deal with that. We have more to do. The ideas presented are interesting at the very least. I’m sure we’ll be considering some of those ideas.”

ICBC hiding behind the face of insured defendants I have previously written about a then new ICBC policy that I had described as an “attack on justice” in my column published July 13, 2008. So here we are over three years later, and the policy is still alive and well. In the case I was handling, the policy was not only an attack against the injured victim seeking fair and just compensation, it was also an attack on the elderly driver who had caused the crash. To understand the in-
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott sidious nature of the policy, you need to understand how injury claims work. Most people believe that a personal injury claim is a claim directly against the insurance company. It is a reasonably held
belief. You do the “dial-aclaim” thing and an insurance adjuster deals with you directly, right through to the negotiation of your settlement claim. You never deal with the driver who caused the crash. In fact, in most cases the insurance company doesn’t either. The offending driver pays a deductible goes on his or her merry way. The reasonably held belief is wrong. Technically, your claim is not against the insurance company, it is directly

against the offending driver who caused your injuries. It is a technicality because everyone in British Columbia is required to have liability insurance. That’s what you are paying for when you register your vehicle. Liability insurance passes on the responsibility to pay the claim to the insurance company. What difference does it make? Let’s say you are called for jury duty. You look out into the courtroom from the jury box. You see an elderly lady sitting there. You learn that she was the offending driver who blew through a stop sign. The lady sits there day after day, through the entire trial. You are shown legal documents that show that the lawsuit is against the lady, personally. ICBC isn’t mentioned at all in the paperwork. ICBC isn’t even mentioned during the trial because the law in British Columbia prohibits telling the jury what I am telling you in this column, that just like in every other motor vehicle crash claim
in this province ICBC is the one who will be paying the claim. What are you going to think? You are likely to believe that this case is different, that ICBC is not involved and the elderly lady is the one who will be paying whatever amount of compensation you award for the injured victim’s losses. So sitting on that jury, you are likely to feel sorry for her. You are likely to be distracted from your true task of assessing the losses. You may, trying your best to be fair, attempt to strike a balance between those losses and the fear that the elderly lady might lose her home. You are not going to know about the ICBC policy I referred to at the beginning of this column. You are not going to know that the only reason that elderly lady is sitting there day after day is that it is an ICBC policy that their insured defendants sit in the courtroom during the entire trial. Clever policy, huh? The reason why I
know that this affront to justice is alive and well is that the policy reared its ugly head in one of my cases that had been scheduled for a trial this fall. When scheduling a standard pre-trial examination of the offending driver, my assistant was told that she was 80 years of age, had no recollection of the crash, her husband had just died, and she had been in tears when the ICBC lawyer’s office had called her. I had agreed not to cause the lady additional stress. I agreed not to proceed with the pre-trial examination on certain terms, one of them being that ICBC not require her to attend the trial. I struck that deal with the ICBC appointed lawyer. When the insurance adjuster found out, he had to get out of the deal because of the ICBC policy. I, the lawyer representing the injured victim, was willing to save this elderly lady the stress of a pre-trial examination that would have taken no more than about 15 minutes. On the other hand,
her own insurance company wouldn’t bend their policy, which would have led not only to the requirement that she attend the 15 minute examination, but also the full week of trial. If I cannot embarrass ICBC to change their policy by pointing out the attack on justice against injured victims, I wonder if there is another avenue of attack? I wonder how many insured drivers have had to sit through days and weeks of trial because of this policy, sustaining uncompensated income loss? If you are one of those victims of the policy, I encourage you to seek legal advice. I expect that the policy breaches ICBC’s duty to treat you with good faith in their defense of the claim against you. This column is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Local woman closes her shop and opens possibilities Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
After a 15-year entrepreneurial journey that has literally seen Tania Olson experience blood, sweat and tears, she is stepping into the next phase of her life. On Oct. 15, Olson will close Coconut Joe’s in West Kelowna in order to pursue a few other avenues that have recently opened up in her life. “I’ve got lots on the go right now,” said Olson as she got a few words in between helping customers. “I’m doing a cookbook with a couple girls, I’m starting a fashion coordinating event planning business, I’m doing my own (writing) and I’m writing Codie Prevost’s biography.” The Prevost biography, although listed last, is
one of the projects that Olson is most excited about. Olson first met Codie Prevost, an up-and-coming Canadian country music star, when she was president of the local chamber of commerce in High Level, Alta. Three years later, after moving to the Okanagan, she got tickets to Prevost’s show. She got the opportunity to chat with him and insisted that he let her dress him for an upcoming event. Prevost agreed and eventually wore clothes that Olson selected in a photo shoot. A month later, Prevost was scheduled to make a music video. He asked Olson to help him with his wardrobe. “Me, dressing a country music video star in a video? Of course I said yes,” said Olson. Olson and Prevost’s
friendship has continued to grow since then, which is why Prevost came to Olson when he discovered her knack for writing. Olson has written as a “secret hobby” for the past 20 years. Recently, she entered an online competition and was excited to learn that she earned an Editor’s Choice award for her poem, The Distance. The favourable outcome has inspired Olson to continue gliding the pen on paper after Coconut Joe’s closes its doors. “My business has been my life and I think that’s what brought out my path that I’ve walked (through writing). I’ve raised my kids by myself. We’ve gone through lots,” said Olson. “It’s been a journey for me, and I think that’s where a lot of my writing came from. It’s just
been like journaling, getting my emotions on paper and helping me heal and keep going.” The journey has taken her a long way. As a single mother in the northern Alberta town of Zama City (population 225), Olson spawned her home-based business, Coconut Joe’s. Olson had no shortage of challenges to deal with and ended up changing her business location six times. She fought through debt, relationship problems and family deaths to eventually reach her goal of living and working in the Okanagan. “My dream for 20 years was to live here; my store got me here. Now other opportunities are coming that look more positive than me trying to stick in the retail game here with the economy.”

Tablets and eReaders are becoming increasingly popular and affordable. But choosing the right one and learning how to use it can be daunting. The Source electronics store in Westbank has partnered with the Okanagan Regional Library’s Peachland branch to offer a class called “Go Digital! Hands on Learning with eReaders and Tablets.” A variety of devices will be on hand for customers to try out and staff will be able to answer questions about using the technology, including how to download free content from the library system. The “Go Digital” session will be held at the Peachland library branch, located in Peachland Village Mall, on Tuesday, Sept. 27, 6 p.m. This is a free event with no registration required.

line the development approval process at the District of West Kelowna, an in-depth examination of district development processes was conducted. Beginning with an internal Development Approval Process Improvement Strategy, which began in September, 2010, a number of initiatives are now underway or awaiting council direction. At its meeting on Aug. 23, council adopted an Official Community Plan bylaw, which provides the community, staff, council and businesses more certain direction regarding future development in
the municipality, prompting council to begin immediately to streamline its business processes. First, council rescinded the Community Consultation Process for Land Use Applications policy, which required developers to hold a public meeting regarding their proposed development. Community consultation is now a recommended best practice. Second, council directed staff to omit the Authorization to Draft process, taking one step out of the development process. “These are just two of several initiatives staff are beginning,” said mayor
Doug Findlater. The consultants, Neilson-Welch Consultants to Government, were hired in May 2011 to complement and build on the internal review. The report, received in August, 2011, included three high priority recommendations: Consideration of the creation of a development services department, advancing applications to council as quickly as possible, even in cases where staff do not recommend approval and making available a subdivision bylaw review objective. “This report shows us that we are on the right track,” Findlater said.

Musical ensemble gets city endorsement Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Good singing and proper technique may not sound as sexy as say Beyoncé spending a million dollars on her unborn baby, but if you’re looking for actual music, the girls from Candesca say they won’t disappoint. Candesca is a group of 15- to 21-year-olds whose angelic voices tackle a repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant to classical art song with a modern twist. While they may sing medieval music, they mix in plenty of contemporarymusic and manage to learn songs from cultures all over the world, and generally a capella. “Compared to typical pop songs, we sort of have a message and that’s a little bit profound in this day and age,” said Carmen Harris, one of the founding members. “And the idea of 17-year-olds and 21-year-olds singing classically and actually bothering to train I think really intrigues people.” Harris joined the group when Alexandra Babbel, an Okanagan-based opera singer who has taught and performed internationally, first started the group, in part to provide opportunities for her own daughter. The successful ensemble eventually managed to tour both New York and Europe and has recently been invited back to Dresden, Germany, for a

Well known for their years of performing and volunteering in the community, their efforts have won the support of the City of Kelowna for their upcoming fundraising performance. The concert will be sponsored by the Kelowna Community Theatre, run by the municipality, to help the girls raise as much money for the Dresden tour as possible. “Kelowna is more of a hockey town and athletes, well deservedly, get a lot of attention and funding for their efforts,” said Babbel. “Musicians, artists, dancers, et al can sometimes get left behind.” So when the community theatre offered the space, the group was utter-

community can be as she taught and performed in some pretty exotic locales herself. Entertaining audiences in Chicago, with highlights like the title role of Philip Hagemman’s world premier of The Aspern Papers and soprano roles with the Lincoln Opera and the Milwaukee Opera Company in La Boheme, she managed to live the life of an artist before settling in the Okanagan Valley. Since moving to Kelowna she has continued to share her talents and help others to do the same. The Candesca performance, for example, will include pottery by local audio engineer Brian Wiebe, who has recently ventured into the art form. “Mystically, somehow,
my pottery sort of made it into the background of the show,” said Wiebe, whose Bonze Age-inspired pots will be placed all over the stage as props. “I don’t know whether the general public at large feels the same way I do about these forms,” said Wiebe. “They are sort of ubiquitous in the Middle East. I was always perplexed as to why we don’t see more of it.” Weibe’s portion of the show will, admittedly, be an experiment, he said, but should literally set the stage for a very unique night of music. Now six years into their career, the Candesca girls are also likely in a position to do a little paying it forward. “I think people really want to get on board with this project because it’s so important to preserve good music,” said Harris, noting that the entire group is very honoured to have the city’s backing. “They’re sort of calling us Kelowna’s Candesca, which is really, really nice to have as a label.” The Candesca performance runs at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 8, at the Kelowna Community Theatre. This will be their last concert before the Christmas season.

Rick Davis The one-time jock teams with Ivy League grad Peter Brand (Jonah
Hill) in an unlikely partnership, recruiting bargain players that the scouts call flawed, but all of whom have an ability to get on base, score runs and win games. Although it features stars like Pitt and Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright, I think the real stars are screenwriters Steve Zaillian (Schindler’s List) and
Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) making this a baseball movie that will appeal to not just baseball fans but to those who do not like the sport. I have a feeling it will be a classic, like Major League, Field of Dreams, Bull Durham and The Natural and I hope it finds an audience. See Davis B6

Teen runs for his life after true identity is revealed Davis from B5 Rated PG with a warning of coarse language. ••• Dolphin Tale is inspired by the remarkable true story of a courageous dolphin named Winter and the compassionate people who banded together to save her life. After she loses her tail in a crab trap, a young boy befriends Winter and motivates everyone around him to help save her by creating a prosthetic appendage. Starring Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson, Morgan Freeman and Winter as herself, early reviews are strong for this G-rated family movie. ••• Although it claims to be based on a true story, Killer Elite is based upon Ranulph Fiennes’ The Feather Men which has caused controversy. The author claims that The Feather Men are a group of vigilante British Special Air Service soldiers who protected members of their regiment from assassins. However, it has been refuted by the British Ministry of Defence and even the author has admitted that the book is a blend of fact and
fiction. In the movie, Jason Statham plays an ex-special ops agent who is lured out of retirement to rescue his mentor (Robert De Niro). To make the rescue, he must complete a near-impossible mission of killing three tough-asnails assassins with a cunning leader (Clive Owen). Killer Elite is rated 14A with a warning of violence and coarse language. ••• Not based on a true story, Abduction stars Taylor Lautner as a teenager who discovers that his entire childhood has been built on a vast conspiracy of lies. After he finds out that the people who raised him are not his real parents, he is forced to run for his life while a vast conspiracy unravels. Also starring Alfred Molina and Sigourney Weaver, Abduction is directed by John Singleton, whose career is highlighted by Boyz N The Hood, Poetic Justice and Four Brothers.

Creekside
Stellas new talents on the rise
Music of the Louisiana Hayride
ENTERTAINMENT
THE STELLAS: (EMI)
This is the debut album from the Toronto based married couple MaryLynn and Brad Stella—hence the act’s name that might confuse some people who think this was an all-girl act. The duo is a mature couple with pre-teen kids and they have had a later than usual start at a music career, but this solid retro country album and their recent tour gigs prove they are real talents on the rise. The Stellas have just come off the very successful national tour with Johnny Reid and now they are about to embark an another national tour opening for Terri Clark. The Stellas have scored a handsome but minor hit with Perfect which is a lovely cover of the late ’80s song by the UK act Fairground Attraction whose original made No.1 on the British charts. Unfortunately Fairground Attraction never had another hit and I am sure The Stellas are hoping for a much longer career and I like their chances. They have strong self-penned songs and Mrs. Stella has a natural, effortless and crystalline voice. In spite of his rockabilly outfits and her early kd lang-like apparel, The Stellas are more ’60s retro than alt-country but an act you will want to see. B-
JAKE OWEN: BAREFOOT BLUE JEAN NIGHT (RCA)
Jake Owen, like some of his contemporaries such as Luke Bryan, Dean Brody, Gavin Degraw, even Keith Urban to a degree, sing the praises of down home, small town, rural life with great river beaches, pickup trucks, mobile homes, cold beer etc., but their music is aimed for arena-sized audiences with arena-produced music. Case in point—Jake Owen has a huge hit with his album title track Barefoot Blue Jean Night where the twinkling stars

next to no songs from it other than Voodoo Child. Also, Hendrix complains to the audience just how tired he was and in the contemporary era no act with Hendrix stature would be forced to or agree to such a crazy, grueling schedule. Anyway, if you haven’t heard enough live Hendrix yet here is the opportunity. B
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell he sees from his night driving around dirt backroads tells him “we were shining like lighters in the dark in the middle of a rock show.” So much for rural imagery and that has been somewhat controversial for country fans who decry acts which aim for big audiences with country that mixes rock and pop. The rest of this third release from Owen is fairly predictable with a power ballad or two, some sensitive love songs and a few guitar-driven country rockers, the best being Nobody Feelin’ No Pain. C
THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE: WINTERLAND (SONY)

PATTI SMITH: OUTSIDE SOCIETY (ARISTA) ible albums. The most recent has been the Winterland concert offerings. I was sent the single 11-track CD which approximates a Hendrix gig very well. These Winterland sessions were taped over Hendrix’ threeday, sold out, six-concert bookings in San Francisco in October of 1968 at the famed Winterland Arena (an old hockey barn built in 1928 seating
5,400). This re-issue also comes as a four CD box or an eight vinyl album set but they are for the confirmed fan only. There is a lot of repetition from gig to gig and who wants to hear six versions of Foxy Lady. The odd thing is, Hendrix’ next new album, the brilliant double Electric Ladyland was soon to be released but he played
I am sure I have mentioned before that Hendrix died after releasing only two studio albums and one live collection. Since then there have been scores, if not hundreds, of Hendrix albums released and many of them are not worth wasting your time hearing. But after decades of legal wrangling the Hendrix family now owns the entire catalogue and they are trying to set the record straight with more cred-
This is a superb single CD, 18 -track overview of new wave, punk poet Patti Smith’s recorded career. This compilation has just been released as her autobiography of her ’60s and ’70s relationship with controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe is about to be released in paperback. Smith is currently working on a film script retelling the times. All of Smith’s best known material is here, including her apocalyptic cover of Van Morrison’s Gloria, her lone hit a cover of Springsteen’s Because The Night and her minor hit of The Byrds’ So You Wanna Be A Rock N Roll Star which puts a whole new spin on the song. There is a fine booklet with Smith’s notes to each song while fans will want this for her radio edit of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit. An excellent retrospective. B+ mooseman19@shaw.ca

Mental Health Commission update
S
ince first being included in the federal budget in 2007, the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) has been working hard to promote mental health and raise awareness across Canada. Generally, I feel it is excellent that such a commission exists and is receiving funding from the government. It is certainly in the best interest of Canadians to have a wellfunded, organized group advocating for mental health and the mentally ill. I thought today we would check in on the five main initiatives currently laid out by the MHCC. In a newsletter earlier this year, the MHCC highlights five key projects: a mental health strategy for Canada; the At Home/Chez Soi housing first project; the Opening Minds anti-stigma program; the Knowledge Exchange Centre;
HEALING MINDS
Paul Latimer and Partners for Mental Health—a social movement. A few of these programs were later updated and show some progress being made. In 2009, the MHCC released a framework for their national mental health strategy and since then have been working out the details and strategic directions. To date, they have identified five fairly broad goals for transforming the mental health system and three for enabling this transformation. The stated goal for the remainder of this year is to continue building from this framework and identifying areas for priority.
Earlier, I highlighted the At Home/Chez Soi housing first project which aims to deal with homelessness among the mentally ill and addicted. During the course of this project, more than 1,300 homeless Canadians will be housed in five Canadian cities. After a year and a half in operation, there are 770 people who now have homes. In addition to simply having housing, the project coordinators are reporting positive signs among participants such as pursuing job opportunities, renewed life stability, relationship building and making use of support systems. Opening Minds—the MHCC’s anti-stigma program is working in a variety of ways to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues. One area being targeted is workplace mental health. The Commission is working with several major cor-
porations and government departments to evaluate anti-stigma programs and help identify effective ways to reduce the stigma encountered by many in the workforce. One program being evaluated in Ontario seems to be showing good results, with anti-stigma presentations resulting in changes in attitude among health care workers. As a result, this program will be introduced at seven hospitals and clinics here in B.C.’s Interior Health Authority. It’s good to see this group following through on its stated goals and some true progress being made. I look forward to seeing more updates and hope true change can occur in our country’s approach to mental health care. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials. dr@okanaganclinicaltrials.com

Those Impacted by the August 10, 2011 Overland Flooding Event Those impacted by the August 10 flooding event may be eligible for financial support under British Columbia’s Disaster Financial Assistance Program. Assistance is available to qualifying homeowners, residential tenants, small businesses, farm owners, charitable organizations and local government bodies that incurred more than $1,000 of uninsurable damage caused by the August 10, 2011 flooding event and that are situated within the geographic boundaries of the City of Kelowna and the District of West Kelowna.
▼ CORPORATE INITIATIVE
Okanagan loves laundry lines FortisBC gave away 8,500 laundry lines in 57 locations this summer— if they were strung from end to end, the clotheslines would stretch from Kelowna to Osoyoos. “With clothes drying among the most energy intense activities in a home, offering a free clothesline is an ideal way to help our customers conserve electricity,” said Tom Loski, vice-president, customer service, FortisBC. “When customers use less electricity, it saves money because there is less need to purchase additional power or build more infrastructure. So, when customers use their clotheslines, they help everyone save.” PowerSense ambassadors travelled to communities across the Okanagan, Kootenay and Boundary regions handing out the popular clotheslines to electricity customers. “We’re pleased that, once again, customers were enthusiastic about our laundry campaign. At nearly every location that our PowerSense ambassadors attended, they faced line-ups,” adds Loski. The average annual consumption of a modern clothes dryer is just

B.C.ERS have embraced hanging their laundry outside. over 900 kilowatt hours per year. If each of the free FortisBC clotheslines were used just half of the time between May and August, it would save enough electricity to power 100 homes for a year— about 1.3 million kilowatt hours of electricity. Taking simple steps to save energy, like drying on a line, washing in cold water and choosing Energy Star appliances also makes a big difference towards saving electricity. Part of the laundry revolution included inviting customers to send in photos of their laundry line in use. More than 100 photos were received this year from across the Okanagan, Kootenay and Boundary regions. Sarah

Visit fortisbc.com/ laundry to see the many other customer contributions. Since its inception in 1989, FortisBC’s PowerSense program has helped Southern Interior customers save enough energy to power more than 30,000 homes for a year.

The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs took part in The National Clean Up Week at Raymer Bay Regional Park beach on Tuesday . This event was hosted by provinciallyfunded Youth Employment Services, helping to give youth a more in-depth understanding of the conditions of their environment, and enable them to contribute to improving our community beaches while gaining volunteer hours. The Great Canadian Shoreline clean up, founded by the Vancouver Aquarium, has been coordinating clean ups in Canada since 1994. Of the top 10 dirty dozen list for 2010 the top three were: cigarettes/filters, food wrappers/containers and plastic bags. Common items found littering shorelines, such as fishing line and diapers, are estimated to take 450 to 600 years to decompose. CLOCKWISE from left: Mitch Lych-Brown shows off the metal debris found at Raymer Bay Regional Park; Colin Reed picks up a piece of park litter; Tarea Kuypers keeps a tally on the litter collected; Jasmine Chambers hauls her litter find off the beach; Justin Podovinnikoff and Kaylee Visser working on the clean-up crew.
