▼ ASSAULT TRIAL
Crown makes its case for guilty verdict against cop Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
As Kelowna Const. Steve Conlon’s assault trial started to wind down Wednesday afternoon, only two questions remained. First: Were the po-
lice within their rights when they entered Crystal Young’s house? Second: When Conlon punched the 19-yearold girl in the face, was it self defence? By the estimates of Crown prosecutor Murray Kaay, the answer to both
those questions was a resounding no. “There’s no air of reality to the argument of self defence,” said Kaay, adding that he believes Conlon struck Young out of frustration, not as a means of warding off an attack by the pit bull she held
close. Young, who was pregnant, took the hit while in the middle of a chaotic scene Feb. 13, 2009. Earlier that day, officers had been at the house in pursuit of Mark Pauls, who was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
He had been shot by police and apprehended, but a witness germane to that incident remained in Young’s house. Police wanted her to exit the 820 Thompson Rd. home, and stood outside and asked to be granted entry. The request,
however, was denied. It sparked a chain reaction of events leading five officers to barge in, guns raised, demanding that those inside get to the ground. Most deferred to police authority, but Young declined while holding

Stepping up for a family in need Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Falling on hard times isn’t something families want ever, let alone over the holidays. But while financial and familial misfortune, however, did fall on Marlo Fieldt—it just had a silver lining that’s helped remind some Kelowna residents what the Christmas spirit is all about. The bright side of what was poised to be a dismal holiday started to show itself earlier this year after Fieldt met Natalie Frantze at work. Frantze was instantly struck by how pleasant her new co-worker was, despite the struggle that would come with being a single mother of six. “She’s the most wonderful person to be around,” Frantze said of Fieldt. People are always complaining that they have bad days, but this woman always seems to be so happy.” But, she quickly learned her pleasant manner belied some difficult truths. “She was late on rent and was about to be evicted from their home,” explained Frantze. It turns out that Fieldt’s ex-husband had been deported to his homeland of India a couple months earlier for failing to complete the proper paperwork when he came to Canada eight years before. It meant the 35-year-
KATHY MICHAELS/CAPITAL NEWS
GENEROSITY FROM others at Christmas is something Marlo Fieldt, trying to deal
with raising her six kids after her husband was deported, is experiencing this year as she faces some hard times right now. old who had spent much of her life raising their six children who range from five to 17 years old, was
forced to figure out how to keep the expansive family afloat. “I’m not the type of
person who likes to ask for help,” Fieldt admitted, explaining she is working and figured she would
come up with a solution to the problems she was buckling under. With the number of children she has, one of the issues was finding a job that would coincide with school. “It’s hard to find a job somewhere where you can work from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m,” she said. Understanding how hard it would be for Fieldt to get her ducks in a row, Frantze started getting her loved ones to chip in what they could to ensure the family would get to keep afloat during the holiday. “There are so many people in Kelowna and Canada who are experiencing bad luck, and don’t have their basic needs met,” she said. “We have a system for them, but sometimes you need instant results and that’s when you pull from the people around you.” As the adults in the Frantze family started to kick into gear, anteing up everything from $20 to food for the holiday, sixyear-old Lyla McGale got some ideas of her own. McGale lives next door to the Frantze family, and had decided earlier in the year that she didn’t need more presents for her birthday which happened recently. Instead, she wanted her friends to bring money, and not for her own spending. “I wanted to help someone else,” she said, noting that she collected $100 that she ultimately brought to Toys ‘r’ Us to
buy a gift certificate. That was given to Fieldt, so she could buy presents for her children. “It felt good,” she said, simply. “This was my first time doing this.” It looked so good to the young girl’s loved ones, that it created a bit of a pay it forward effect, that’s still going. “My friends and family are saying ‘just let me know what I can do, let me help out in any way,’” said Frantze. “Everybody is talking about how this six-yearold has shown us what Christmas is truly about and they’re so inspired.” For Fieldt, the experience has also reminded her of the good parts of the season. “It was totally unexpected and amazing,” she said, noting that while it doesn’t change all of her problems, it’s lifting one burden. “I take everything day by day, and focus on what the day brings.” Her new found friends have also turned their attention to what’s needed to help Fieldtz. Being as she hadn’t previously accessed the social welfare net, Frantze said she wasn’t sure how to do so. In the year ahead, that should be sorted out, lifting the imminent threat to the family’s well being. In the meantime, the fundraising efforts continue and Milestone’s is collecting donations for the family.

Elderly West Kelowna couple killed in crash A stricken family has lost two of its loved ones as a result of a motor vehicle collision on Tuesday night. On Dec. 21 at 9 p.m., a husband and wife, aged 81 and 80 respectively, were a mile from their West Kelowna home when the collision occurred. According to a witness, the grey Honda Civic sedan had exited Highway 97 South onto Glenrosa Road and was in the middle lane when it is believed to have struck the center median and lost control. The car subsequently rolled down a steep embankment before landing on its roof at the bottom of the hill beside Woodell Road. A motorist who was following the sedan, immediately stopped and called 911 as he ran down the hill to offer assistance. When police and emergency crews arrived, they discovered that the male driver had already died. The female passenger, who had to be extricated from the vehicle, suffered severe injuries. She later died in hospital. There was no evidence that either of the vehicle’s occupants were wearing seat belts at the time of the collision. The roadway was wet at the time but the RCMP are still investigating as to why the car might have lost control. The investigation into the cause of the incident continues.

vation officers are warning sledders about. The officers will be conducting road checks in conjunction with RCMP traffic department to make sure sleds comply with provincial all-terrain regulations that have been in place since 1980. “Every snowmobile in B.C. must be registered,” said Lockwood. “If it’s bought in another province, it will be registered there, and you are required to re-register the machine in B.C.” Snowmobiles must also have a vehicle identification decal—a yellow snowmobile decal— on their machines. If not, sledders will be issued a ticket. Conservation officials encourage sledders to use Crown lands, but stay off private property. “It’s an offence to snowmobile on private property without permission,” said Lockwood. “It’s an offence to ride on railroad tracks, plowed forest service roads and highway rights-of-way, which includes the ditch from fence-to-fence.” Alcohol and any type of motorized vehicle are not a good combination, said Lockwood, reminding snowmobilers they can be charged if found to be impaired on a machine.

3D optional scanning measures being well received Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
It’s almost been a year since the Kelowna International Airport implemented its 3D security scanner, and it’s all going well, says a representative from a national security organization.
“It’s still an optional service, and while we don’t have any official statistics on how many are choosing to use it, we’ve done intercept surveys and just over 50 per cent say they prefer it,” said Matthieu Larocque, of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority.

White House Mortgages 250-870-0732
Another 27 per cent who opted to be scanned, say they “don’t mind” the equipment, which Larocque surmised to mean that 80 per cent prefer it to traditional methods. Kelowna International Airport introduced the machines to their operations March of 2009, although no official announcement was made until the following April. It was the first millimeter wave scanner to be used at a Level Two airport in the country and its placement in this valley was said to be due to the fact that screening officers in Kelowna were already trained on the machine. Kelowna’s airport helped test the scanners for the security authority and Transport Canada in 2008-09 to much ado. At the time, members of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association said the machine was analogous to running through “the airport naked, with a paper bag over your head.” The scanners take images of your body through your clothes and detects if passengers have anything concealed—metal or not. All passengers must pass through the usual metal detector and if they are selected for a secondary screening they have an option of accepting a physical pat-down or pass through the scanner. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

New report outlines gov’t strategies to promote job growth
I
t’s the holiday season so I thought I would take a break from all those negative statistics on labour shortages. That’s why this week I’ll tell you more about the solutions. Last week, the B.C. government published a report titled Skills for Growth: British Columbia’s Labour Market Strategy to 2020. Although this report begins with much of the same data I mentioned previously, it does provide us with some government strategies focused on coping with labour shortages. The B.C. economy, including employment growth, is expected to increase on average by 1.8 per cent per year from now to 2019. It is estimated that
SCHOOL’S IN
Jane Muskens this growth will create 450,000 new jobs. It is also anticipated that 676,000 jobs will be vacated due to retirement. Right now there are 650,000 youth in the education system who should be available for employment by 2019. Add up the numbers and you have a shortage of 476,000 workers. Seventy-seven per cent of all the jobs in 2019 will require trades training, or a post-secondary certificate, diploma or de-
gree. Three occupational groups are expected to grow faster than the provincial average. These are health; trades, transport and equipment operators and related occupations; and natural and applied sciences and related occupations. So what are the strategies? The biggest challenge for the government will be to get a number of organizations to work together. This will include all levels of government, colleges and universities, school districts, industry and labour associations, regulatory bodies and others. To align everyone on the same page, they have
‘‘

put forward three priorities. The first priority is to increase the skill level of British Columbians. For post-secondary institutions the objective is to become more responsive to the student, employer and regional economic needs. Most institutions already do this, the chal-
lenge will be to meet programming needs that require expensive equipment and specialized labs especially for health related training. Priority two is to attract workers and entrepreneurs from outside the province who meet British Columbia’s regional economic needs. The government wants B.C. to become major education destination for international students. Admitting international students to our universities and colleges is most often a win/win situation for both the student and the school. While international students usually pay significantly more than domestic students for tuition, they bring a glob-
al perspective to campus that benefits the domestic students and creates connections between Canada and the student. For the government, they hope these newly skilled or educated students will begin to see Canada as home and apply for immigration status. And who better to immigrate to Canada than students who already live in Canada and hold a Canadian post-secondary credential? The last priority is to improve workplace productivity. Objectives include increased literacy, technology improvements, on-the-job retraining, supporting innovation and more. These priorities mark the beginning of a serious
look at how we can manage our labour force in the next 10 years. Their success will be rooted in cooperation and partnerships between many organizations guided by similar goals. Jane Muskens is the registrar for Okanagan College. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

Women’s centre reaching out Another local nonprofit agency is experiencing tough times as they fight to keep their doors open. The Kelowna Women’s Resource Centre is celebrating 25 years of service to Central Okanagan women. However, the women’s resource centre finds itself in the difficult situation of having to close its doors this December as they undertake a restructuring process. “The difficulties started when our operational government funding was cut several years ago and with the latest gaming funding cut, we have been unable to meet our operating budgets,” said Micki
Smith, the women’s resource centre coordinator. But there is some positive news—the KWRC is looking to build a stronger foundation and has laid out some unique and engaging donor plans, says resource centre board chair Olivia Sullivan. “If we can find 350 people to donate $25 a month to the Kelowna Women’s Resource Centre, we will be able to meet our bare bones operating costs. “We would like to ask people who support us to donate whatever amount is comfortable for them. “If you go to our website at www.kwrc.net you can access the Canada Helps site and make a do-
nation whether you choose monthly or one time - every donation makes a difference.” As part of the 25th anniversary celebrations, the KWRC is also launching the ambassador program. The centre is seeking to connect with all women who have been a user or supporter of the centre for the past 25 years. This can include past board member, volunteers or clients who have been personally helped by the agency. “We want to reconnect with every person we have touched and say thank you and come along to help us celebrate,” said Smith. “Several events are planned for the coming
year to celebrate this milestone. Supporters and the general public can also help the Kelowna Women’s Resource Centre by purchasing a Herstory Calendar for 2011 or buying their Café Feminino coffee, which is produced by women in Mexico and Central America. The coffee is delicious and the proceeds not only support women in our community but also the women who work the coffee fields in the countries that produce it, Smith said. “It is a win-win for everyone.” To find out more or make a donation contact www.kwrc.net or call 250-762-2355.

Steve Holmes ent information is provided which can suggest different incidents. “Each of these calls for service will result in an immediate response by emergency service personnel,” said Holmes. “In many instances duplicate emergency resources respond only to find they are not required.” He added to help best allocate and ensure a timely response by your emergency personnel, the po-
lice are asking the public to follow these guidelines. If you see a collision or a vehicle in the ditch, or think you are one of the first people on scene, please consider the following: • Is it possible and safe to stop? If it is, do so and assist those involved and when possible report the event from the scene with accurate details. • If you can’t stop, slow down so you can see if anyone is around. Get the license plate of the vehicle or vehicles involved, the damage to the vehicles, possible injuries, direction of travel of the vehicle before it went off the road or collided. • If you don’t know the exact location, drive until you find a sign or mileage marker that indicates exactly where the vehicle is located and what road you are on.
• If you come across a vehicle in the ditch and no one is in or around it and it looks like it may have been there for while, get the license number before calling it in. Holmes said the reason is at this time of year any vehicles slide off the road and tow trucks are catching up to the many calls for assistance. Sometimes a vehicle may remain in the ditch for days. To call such a vehicle in without giving a license number gives police no way of checking to see if there has been a previous call about it. • Give a contact number the police need more information or need to verify the information you have provided. Holmes said the public and emergency services can work together more effectively to provide assistance to those who need it.

The Kelowna RCMP is concerned about duplication when it comes to reporting accidents. On Wednesday, local RCMP spokesman Steve Holmes said local police and emergency resources are being overwhelmed with numerous calls from well-meaning passersby reporting motor vehicle incidents. “The use of cell phones affords the luxury of being able to summon help from almost anywhere, which is good,” said Holmes. “Many good Samaritans, upon passing a crash scene or a stranded motorist, will call in to 911 dispatch centres to get help for the parties involved, but this is where problems can start.” He said with many callers reporting the same thing, sometimes there can be conflicting results for responders as differ-

Crown argues excessive force was used by RCMP officer Verdict from A1 It was a swift movement the Mountie’s defence attorney has called a “deflect and distract,â€? selfdefence, maneuver that dealt with Young and the dog as one entity. Kaay, on the other hand, said it was excessive force, pointing out that Conlon was 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, compared to Young’s 140 pounds. “His reaction is disproportionate,â€? Kaay said. “It doesn’t make sense‌if a dog bites you, do you punch its owner in the head?â€? Furthermore, the police shouldn’t have been there at all, he contended. Young, he said, had every right in the world to stand in her living room, with her dog and deny the request of the man holding the gun at her, because police had entered unlawfully.
the defence, the issue of citizen safety is also paramount.
“You can appreciate police frustration but at the end of the day the po-
While the defence attorney has been pointing to exigent circumstances—threats to public safety or forthcoming evidence—as the cause of moving into the house without a warrant, Kaay said the reasoning doesn’t apply. Police were after a woman who was a witness, and she wasn’t obligated to speak with police. She held no evidence that they knew of, and to that point nothing indicated there were weapons, despite the fact “crack housesâ€? are infamous for stashes of everything from knives to guns. “She wasn’t required to comply with anything,â€? said Kaay. “As a matter of common sense, it would be best to get down and leave the issue of lawfulness for another day‌but just because they’re police officers doesn’t mean they’re cloaked with special powers.â€? Kaay went on to say that all five officers were out of line when they entered the house that day, and despite cries against anti-police attitudes from
around the law.� “It would be nice if occupants would co-operate,
but they’re not required.� The trial will resume Jan. 7 to fix a date for
the judge’s verdict to be heard. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.

Think about a green Christmas
W
hat do you want for Christmas this year? Do you want to be just another statistic of debtplagued, conspicuous consumption—or do you want the satisfaction of knowing you’ve started to make a difference in the world, through the holidays and on through the year ahead? We are told that average household waste increases by as much as 25 per cent over the Christmas season. Now would be a good time, particularly for the average cash-strapped con-
sumer, to take a hard look at those disposables we buy now and trash at the end of the season. Are they all absolutely necessary? Can we reduce, reuse and recycle? Wrapping paper and decorations, tend to get bought, thrown away and re-bought year after year. Some waste is unavoidable, but where possible, we should conserve what we use this year, and reuse old supplies. And we can make sure that, once the
250-763-3212
merrymaking is over, the disposables go into the right recycling bins or to the right depots. If you are in the fortunate situation of having more food supplies than you need, consider donating the non-perishables to the local food banks. And if you have household goods you no longer use, consider donating them to a charity which will enable them to be used by others. Donations of clothing, decorations and blankets, for example, can be of immeasurable value.
Of the average $750 the Consumer Electronics Association tells us each household in North America plans to spend on gifts each year, some $232 will be spent on electronics. But, as you upgrade, remember that electronics, too, can be recycled – either through donations and resale, or through collection locations. Consideration for our neighbours—and for the planet—is a gift that costs each of us far less than most of our extravagant gift giving.

NDP looking disturbingly like a Monty Python sketch
I
n their classic movie Life of Brian, the Monty Python troupe spoofs a crumbling Roman Empire and its disorganized enemies. Among the foes are the People’s Front for Judea, determined to bring the empire down, itself locked in a bitter rivalry with a splinter group called the Judean People’s Front. The huddling, oppressed Judeans themselves aren’t much helped by their constant, pointless in-fighting. The resemblance to today’s B.C. political scene is striking. Emperor Gordon the Green is marking his
final days. Plotters in his own Senate have sheathed their knives only now that he has agreed to speed his chariot to the exit. His taxes have so enraged Tom the peasantry he fears Fletcher that only his Convention Coliseum and Great Road to Whistler will be left to mark his reign. And what does the opposition do? It finds itself locked in a bitter dispute with a 13-member splinter group— perhaps they should call themselves the Newer Democratic Party. The rebels got their wish Monday, as Carole James resigned as leader. The question is, now what?
VICTORIA VIEWS
The Baker’s Dozen, a default label for these rebels, were united by one notion. James must make way for a leadership contest against no declared rival, as soon as possible, because she has no compelling ideas. I’ve been trying to point this out for years. “Innovative ideas are what the NDP needs now,” this column declared in December 2006, when the first rumblings about James’ leadership were surfacing. At that point, the NDP’s health care focus was exploiting the grief of seniors forced into separate care homes by their divergent medical needs. Two years later, the NDP would denounce B.C.’s innovative carbon tax. This was not driven by any substantive logic, a fact that was demon-
strated when they dropped their objections after the 2009 election. The common thread with the separated seniors and the carbon tax is that these were merely tactics. See something unpopular and oppose it. I spent some time on the NDP’s policy development website, called Our Province Our Future. Did you know that this major initiative was launched last spring? Didn’t think so. There are impressive studies about topics like the volatility of commodity markets. B.C. has started making serious inroads into the Chinese lumber market, driven by aggressive government promotion programs. What has the NDP done? Opposed it, claiming all we can do is sell low-grade lumber at a loss.
What’s the NDP’s latest wood product idea? Our Province Our Future has a discussion paper that ends with a series of important questions, such as: “What can be done to generate a shift toward high value-added production?” Lots of questions, no answers. The Baker’s Dozen split with James began with the expulsion of Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson whose crime was to say that seven years into her leadership, James offers few ideas. Gordon Campbell’s problem was having too many ideas. His cabinet shuffles alone should be as a record. The NDP still looks like a front for public-sector unions and not much else. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Kelownians are making a difference To the editor: Recently I came across some interesting reports on how certain cities across North America deal with homelessness issues. It surprised and saddened (and maddened) me to realize that there is still so much work to be done to break down prejudices and misconceptions
surrounding these vulnerable members of our population. And while we have an ongoing concern about the homeless in our community, it seems so much more approachable than the seeming intractable issues faced by many cities. I am so thankful for the caring community that is Kelowna. In the past year,
Kelowna’s Gospel Mission was able to provide more than 20,000 nights of safe, secure and warm housing, 120,000 nutritious meals, housed more than 200 people, distributed more than 4,000 articles of clothing and our case workers assisted more than 600 people. All of this was possible because of the gen-
erosity of the people of Kelowna. You gave your time, your expertise, your gently used items and your hard-earned dollars to make life a little better for the hungry and homeless in our community. Not only at Christmastime have you reached out with care and compassion. You have done it all year long, and that is what de-
fines us as a community. Thank you, Kelowna for making the world a better place. Randy Benson, executive director, Kelowna’s Gospel Mission

not lucky all of the time and having the wild meat come in as a donation is fantastic. To make a point: Indian men and women live here in the Okanagan Valley who are from other In-
dian Tribal locations and the provincial law says they are not allowed to hunt as we, the Okanagan Indian People, do. For example, non-Okanagans can only shoot an immature moose. The com-
parison is foolish and I believe the provincial law has not been tested in the Supreme Court over Aboriginal Hunting Rights.

▼ PET RESCUE
Caring volunteers help rescue 52 dogs from LA To the editor: At this time of year when giving some times gets blurred with getting, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do both. I was asked to drive a lady who was going to Bellingham, Wash., to take part in a dog rescue from Los Angeles and was not comfortable with the snow and ice conditions we experienced this past weekend. Being recently laid off, and a dog lover, I agreed without hesitation to go on this adventure. After driving to Vernon and picking up a rental van, we set off to Surrey where we met three other volunteers from Court-
ney and Vancouver. The weather was not the best, with blowing snow and ice, but we eventually arrived at midnight at the home of a dog fostering volunteer close to the border. All the volunteers slept on couches or on bed rolls on the floor, waiting for sunrise, knowing that 52 dogs were being driven to a meeting point in Bellingham, packed in crates for the 17-hour journey from the mean streets of LA. It was a choice of Canada or die. It all started when Steve, at Top Dog kennels in Kelowna, received a call asking him to take two pit bull puppies that were to be euthanized. He agreed and then contacted
Beth Gibson at Between Friends Animal Rescue in Vernon, another oneperson volunteer rescue organization. Between them, they thought “well if we can rescue two, let’s rescue more on the same transport.” Hats off to them both. They put the word out to two other small volunteer rescue organizations, made calls to highkill shelters in LA and between them organized a large van that bought 52 dogs, all to be euthanized Monday morning, through customs to Canada. Chihuahuas, pit bull puppies, labs, most that have come from good homes where their families could no longer af-
ford to keep them due to the recession. One pure bred pit bull puppy lying next to me on the bed snoring as I type this, is Silva. She was an evidence dog. She has been kept in confinement for three months while her owners where charged with cruelty after pulling some of her toe nails out and other cruel actions to make her mean, hoping to make her a fighter. It just is not in poor Silva, all she wants to do is cuddle. After the case, she was scheduled to be euthanized as the shelters in LA are overwhelmed. Ruby, a 17-week red nosed pit bull puppy has her ribs, spine and haunches sticking out. In
spite of being half starved all she wants to do is wiggle her bum, you have to be careful not to step on her as she happily follows you around. We made it in spite of snow, ice, rolledover cars on the highway. Beth, you should be very proud of yourself. I still think your kind of nuts, but you and Steve saved 52 dogs. For anyone wishing to foster or adopt one of these rescues, please call Beth for information on small dogs, or Steve at Top Dog kennels for the large breeds. My thanks to you both for allowing me to be a part of this, take a bow, you deserve it. John Wardley, Peachland
▼ HEALTH CARE
Infirm could get cheaper care with spouse nearby To the editor: Shame on Interior Health, the provincial government and your bureaucratic nonsense. The ladies that are being deprived of 80 per cent of their husbands’ pensions because the husband is in a care home have a valid case. Is the government that single-minded, that it’s beyond their comprehension to even think of al-
ternatives to this uncaring and inconsiderate attitude? Why not set up care homes, which would accommodate husband and his prime caregiver—his wife. Is that so hard to envision? It would save on salaries; government could double their money by charging a lesser fee to have both partners contributing a portion of their pensions.
Think about it—CPP puts out the dollars to both husband and wife and provincial health could take a portion of each pension, cut back on staff and everyone’s happy. No janitors, cooking staff, all the ins and outs except for nursing staff could be taken over by the wives and be near their husbands. Now isn’t that easy? Dale A. Breznik, Kelowna

▼ MLA’S REPORT
Sharing our wealth of knowledge
K
nowledge is power. This is an old saying that has been with us since at least the days of Sir Francis Bacon. And in today’s knowledge economy, these words are as true as they have ever been—except that today, knowledge is also money. According to the most recent B.C. Labour Market Outlook, 77 per cent of all future jobs in our province will require some post-secondary education. The best jobs—those that are the most stimulating and well-paying— will also require a strong grounding in math, science, engineering and technology. In fact, these days it is difficult to think of many jobs that don’t require at least some ability in one
Steve Thomson or more of these areas. This reality is why the 2010-11 school year has been proclaimed the Year of Science. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Science and Universities, the goals of the Year of Science are raise the level of science awareness and skills in our province and foster a culture of research and innovation. Building enthusiasm for the sciences is great for the province as
a whole and for our students. Over the next 10 years, there will be more than 145,000 job openings in fields related to math, science, engineering and technology. Furthermore, the annual employment growth rate in these fields is forecast at 2.4 per cent—compared to 1.8 per cent for all other occupations. Not a bad time for our young people to consider a career in the knowledge economy. I hope all of our students and their parents will take a look at the Year of Science website at www.YearOfScienceBC.ca. It is packed with information, quizzes and resources that appeal to kids, parents and grandparents. It also has a calendar
of events to help you find out what is happening in Kelowna. One event in our area that I encourage everyone to check out is the Central Okanagan Regional Science Fair from April 7 to 8. One feature will be the Science Challenge, which offers students in Grades 4 to 12 the chance to participate in the National Fair. And by the way, how would you like a chance for your child to win a scholarship worth $25,000 towards his or her future science goals? Details on how this can be done are also on the Year of Science website. Just go to www. yearofsciencebc.ca/science-is-exciting/contest for details. These days, knowledge is not just power. It’s money, too—even for students. Steve Thomson is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Mission.

MLA says buy local for the holidays This holiday season, think local and support Okanagan and B.C.’s farmers and agri-food industry by finding ways to share our great products this holiday season. “As a third generation farmer, the holiday season for me is a great opportunity to reflect on the spectacular agricultural diversity we enjoy in B.C,” said Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart. “This diversity can be represented in our gifts and on our dinner tables.
A holiday gift basket of locally made preserves, meats, cheeses and wine is the perfect way to support your local producers.” “While Kelowna residents are out shopping for food and presents, I certainly hope they will make an effort to buy local,” noted Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. “I also hope they will remember those in need and make a donation to the food bank.” British Columbia has the most diverse agricul-
ture industry in Canada. On top of the 225 food commodities produced in B.C., there are over 700 products in the B.C. Speciality Food directory. As far as gift giving goes, the quality of B.C.’s products speak for itself. B.C. wines won 362 medals, including 22 gold medals at the 10th Annual Canadian Wine Awards this summer. Okanagan orchardists were honoured for their apples at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto in November.
And B.C. beef, blueberries, fish and shellfish hit the world stage and got a first-class reception during the Olympics and on a recent agriculture trade mission to Asia. The agri-food industry is an important contributor to the provincial economy totalling over $22 billion annually in consumer sales and supporting over 305,000 jobs.

â&#x2013;ź FOOD BANKS
Grocery store chain steps forward to help families in need In a year when many families continue to struggle to put food on their table, Loblaw Companies Limited corporate and participating franchise stores across Canada continue to partner with local food banks to raise awareness, funds and food to help those in need. Starting Nov. 26, Loblaw retail stores and participating franchises in British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which includes Extra Foods and
Real Canadian Superstoreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;launched the 2010 Extra Helping Holiday National Food Drive to support local food banks and Food Banks Canada. Consumers are encouraged to donate nonperishable food items or make a cash donation next time they visit their local Loblaw retail store and participating franchise location. Loblawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to raise $1.35 million and
1.2 million pounds of food across Canada in 2010. According to Loblaw partner Food Banks Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual HungerCount, in 2010, more than 860,000 Canadians relied on assistance from food banks to have enough to eat during an average month, compared to 800,000 Canadians in 2009. This past year, in British Columbia, local food banks have assist-
ed 94,359 individuals, an increase in 4.98 per cent from the year before. Of the individuals that were helped last year, 27,996 were children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our member food banks continue to see an increase of families accessing our services to help keep their families fed,â&#x20AC;? said Don Armstrong, president, Food Banks British Columbia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donations made during the holiday season go
a long way in helping us to support families in need during the holidays and beyond.â&#x20AC;? According to Food Banks British Columbia, the most needed nonperishable items include canned meat and fish, canned soups and stews, beans in tomato sauce, peanut butter, dry pasta and pasta sauce, and baby items such as baby food and formula. In addition to collect-
ing food and funds, earlier this year, Loblaw made a corporate donation of $250,000 to Food Banks Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Food Sharing System, which works to acquire and share donated food and consumer package goods to support food banks across the country. Donated food is transported to hubs managed by provincial food bank associations and in turn is distributed to local food banks to utilize for their food programs that assist hungry families and individuals in their communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loblaw has a strong tradition of supporting the communities we serve. As Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest grocery retailer, we have a responsibility to help in the fight against hunger and assist food banks in serving families in need,â&#x20AC;? said Peggy Hornell, senior director, Community Investment, Loblaw Companies Limited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As customers shop for their families this holiday season, we encourage them to consider picking up an extra item or to donate a few dollars at check-out to help provide food for someone in their community.â&#x20AC;? To assist food banks in receiving the resources they require to help those in need, one hundred per cent of food donations and 70 per cent of funds donated in British Columbia,through the
2010 Extra Helping Holiday National Food Drive, are donated to the local food bank partnered with the individual Loblaw retail store or franchise. The remaining 30 per cent of donated funds support provincial food bank programs to ensure food banks in areas where Loblaw does not have a store or franchise are still able to benefit from the food drive. The Extra Helping campaign logo is featured on shelves in a variety of aisles, to help them quickly and easily identify the most needed items. The logo will also be featured on signs at store entrances, in-store displays, collection bins and at checkout to encourage cash donations. Food Banks British Columbia is the provincial association representing 90 food banks. Without any government funding they coordinate the distribution of product made available through Food Bank Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Food Sharing System, the BC Share $2 coupons found at the registers of major grocery stores and provincial and national fund raisers. For further information about Food Banks British Columbia, check out the website www. foodbanksbc.ca. The website for the Kelowna Community Food Bank is www.kelownafoodbank.com.

helping to hydrate The success of Vital Waters flowed to support several local charities this year. The water system supply and service provider was able to donate 30,000 litres of water to such charitable groups as Kelowna Gospel Mission, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Inn From The Cold and Victory Life Fellowship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether it is 30 degrees in the summer sun, or below freezing, Vital Waters has helped to make sure (our clients) are staying healthy and hydrated,â&#x20AC;? said Gospel Mission executive director Randy Benson.

It’s not always a ‘merry’ Christmas for many of us T he Jewish celebration of Hanukkah is past. Winter solstice and Christmas are upon us. It is a time of joy and anticipation for many. Yet for some among us, especially if they have lost a loved one, it may not be a “merry” time. For others, there may be too many expectations. May our hearts be open to those who are facing a “blue Christmas” this year. True, this season has become over-commercialized.
SOUL SEARCHING
Linda Horton We are encouraged to spend more than we can afford, often on gifts that are not really needed. Yet I do not despair of the season. I value the message of hope incarnate in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. I am inspired by the
commitment to religious freedom expressed in the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. And I resonate with the joy of ancient peoples in the first sign that winter will pass and the sun will return. Holy days and festival times are a way cultures and faith traditions pass on the lore and wisdom humans have garnered. “It is necessary to transmit the passwords from generation to generation,” writes St. Exupery. The stories of this season are powerful pass-
words. They touch upon many layers of our human experience, addressing our relationships with the natural world, with one another, and with God (or however we name the Mystery that indwells our lives). Hope, peace, love, joy, new birth—these are powerful passwords, and they cannot be transmitted unless we take responsibility for doing so. Our forebears have passed them to us. But we are not simply passive recipients. What are you doing

this season to transmit hope and love—in action as well as in words? In our individualistic culture, do we even see this as our collective responsibility? Or in the realm of meaning and spiritual tradition are we simply consumers, as we are in so much of our lives? I’ve been reflecting on the idea of “saging” rather than “aging.” What does it mean to become an elder? A senior recently said to me, “When I was young, we respected our elders.” Elders may not receive the same respect as in past eras when the world was not changing so radically. But I have always loved to hear the life stories of prior generations. Their insights have enriched me, and I can-

A court order preventing a pair of vacuum salesmen from conducting direct sales expired last week, according to Consumer Protection B.C. The order prevented Lloyd Schell Jr. and David Schell from direct sales in the province for a period of five years after they were found to be engaging in deceptive acts towards elderly consumers. Several of the complaints originated from Penticton, Oliver, Westbank and Kelowna. The pair were found to be using high-pressure sales tactics and violating B.C.’s consumer contract laws in 2005. The Schells have been conducting direct sales in vacuum cleaners in the province for some 25 years and numerous complaints were received over that time, generally from senior citizens.
The court order said the Schells were engaging in direct sales of vacuum cleaners to predominately senior consumers and telemarketing their products with the enticement of a free gift. Numerous consumer complaints came forward dating back as far as 1993. An investigation found the pair would pressure potential customers to purchase an expensive vacuum cleaner that, on occasion, they did not need, want, could not afford and sometimes not operate. It was found the Schells would spend in some cases hours in the consumers’ residences applying their tactics, leaving the consumer feeling distressed and frustrated. The Schells were ordered to cease taking advantage of elderly consumers and cease refusing to provide a refund even though a consumer had exercised a statutory
right of cancellation and returned the vacuum. The court also ordered them to cease misrepresenting the price of the vacuum cleaners and accessories. Those who enter into a contract in their home have the right to cancel the contract within 10 days for any reason and the right to a refund from the supplier within 15 days if the contract is cancelled. The duo were operating under Okanagan Miracle Systems Inc., Tri Nova Developments Inc., Micro Innovations Ltd., Metro Agencies Inc. and LCS Holdings. Consumer Protection reminds the public to be cautious of sellers who call to offer gifts in order to obtain access to your home. Anyone with questions about this issue are directed to contact Consumer Protection toll free at 1-888-564-9963 or check out www.consumerprotectionbc.ca.

as I watch the rituals of the season unfold. For many, especially the young, they are simply habit. The deeper layers of meaning do not resonate, for the passwords have not been transmitted, nor made relevant to the world we live in. I was impressed by a contemporary Christmas pageant at First United this year, in which Mary and Joseph were homeless, and the Wise Men were police. This was paired with a gift collection for the children of women at the local women’s shelter. Thus do we transmit the passwords in deed as well as word. This is the true spirit of the season. Rev. Linda Weaver Horton, is with the Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna.

Can we move beyond the goal of pursuing our individual spiritual journeys? Can we recognize how essential it is to our common humanity to transmit the passwords? To create and sustain caring, encouraging communities that nurture us all, but especially the young? Can we embrace this new role of sage or elder, recognizing we have a responsibility to learn to do it well? For make no mistake —the responsibility is inescapable. These musings come

▼ ACUPUNCTURE
Blood flow blockage inflames tendinitis T ‘‘ endinitis is the inflammation or irritation of a tendon—the thick, fibrous cords that attach muscles to bones. Tendinitis causes pain and tenderness just outside a joint. While tendinitis can occur in any of the body’s tendons, it’s most common in the shoulders, elbows, wrists and heels. Tendinitis symptoms typically include pain (usually a dull ache), tenderness and mild swelling at the point where the tendon attaches to the bone. Common names for tendinitis are tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, pitcher’s shoulder, swimmer’s shoulder and jumper’s knee. From this list it’s easy to see that tendinitis typically develops from the stress of a repetitive movement over time. Most people develop tendinitis because of jobs, sports or hobbies that involve repetitive motions,
NEEDLE NOTES
James Kaufman which aggravate the tendons needed to perform the tasks, although tendinitis can also be caused by a sudden injury. Age can also play a factor in tendinitis because as we get older, our tendons become less flexible, making them more prone to injury. Most cases of tendinitis can be successfully treated with rest and selfcare. If symptoms persist for more than a few days and interfere with day-today activities, your doctor may recommend medications to reduce the pain and inflammation. Injections of cortisone medication around a tendon may also be recom-
mended to reduce inflammation and help ease pain but repeated injections may weaken a tendon, increasing the risk of tendon rupture. Tendon rupture is a much more serious problem that may require surgical repair. Without proper treatment, tendinitis can develop into a chronic problem and increase your risk of experiencing tendon rupture. Acupuncture can be a great option for resolving tendinitis problems and promoting proper healing. In Chinese medicine, most musculo-skeletal disorders have some relevant underlying imbalance or contributing lifestyle factor. Understanding a person’s general health gives an acupuncturist insight into the internal imbalances that can contribute to injury. Lifestyle can play a role, whether it be our occupation, the exercise or
sports we choose, or our nutrition and diet. Chinese medicine also considers the role of emotion and thought in health, as they can be either the cause or the symptom of an internal balance. With tendinitis and all types of musculo-skeletal injuries, pain is caused by stagnation of qi-energy and blood. Acupuncture treatment focuses on removing the blockage and helping the energy and blood to flow again in or-

On Christmas Eve, OnStar advisors will be prepared to give subscribers specific location-based updates on Santa Claus’ journey around the world based on data received in partnership with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Beginning at 3 a.m. on Christmas Eve Day, OnStar subscribers can press the blue OnStar button in their vehicles to request a “Santa Update.” OnStar advisors will share Santa’s whereabouts until 2 a.m. Christmas morning. “It’s great to provide our customers with a fun, highly informative benefit during the holidays,” said Scott Kubicki, OnStar, executive director. “Our advisors also enjoy hearing children’s surprise and joy when they learn that St. Nick is only hours away from their home.” For more than 54 years NORAD has used its North Warning Radar System, geo-synchronous satellites with infrared sensors and other technologies to monitor Santa’s Christmas Eve travels and share the information with children and families around the world. “We are excited that OnStar is a NORAD Tracks Santa program sponsor once again this year,” said James Graybeal, deputy chief of staff for communication at NORAD headquarters. “OnStar adds another layer to the program. In addition to tracking Santa on the web or by calling in to the operations center, it’s neat that you can locate Santa by pushing a button in your car, wherever you are.” Individuals without an OnStar subscription can visit www.noradsanta.org or dial 877 HI-NORAD (877-4466723) for Santa’s location.

In addition, we look at what underlying factors have influenced health and weakened the joint or made it vulnerable to injury. These causes can be external (such as exposure to the elements or an external trauma or blow to the area) or internal (caused by an imbalance in the body’s normal functioning due to our genetics or our lifestyle). By also treating these underlying factors, we are actually strengthening the injured area and improving health, with the goal of preventing future reoccurrence.

Huska absorbs Team Canada experience Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Before leaving for Toronto two weeks ago, Ryan Huska had a hunch both the hype and hoopla surrounding Team Canada would be considerable. But not until he became immersed in the process of preparing for the IIHF World Junior Championship did the Kelowna Rockets’ head coach feel the full gravity of the situation.
“It’s been everything and more than I expected,” said Huska, an assistant coach with Team Canada. “Hockey Canada does such an amazing job of organizing things, from taking care of the players and the staff…it’s pretty much like an NHL team. “You see it everyday in the media coverage just how big this is for Canada,” he added. “Everybody knows and feels the pressure and excitement of this event. It’s amazing
to be part of it all.” Huska and the Canadian team arrived in Buffalo on Christmas Eve in advance of the start of the 2011 edition of the WJC. Team Canada will open the tournament on Boxing Day against the Russians. The 35-year-old Huska is one of three assistants on the Team Canada coaching staff which is headed up by Dave Cameron of the OHL’s Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors.
From as far back as the summer evaluation camp in St. John’s, Huska said the process of choosing, shaping and preparing the Canadian team for the world junior has been fascinating and educational. Among his duties as an assistant is looking after Canada’s penalty killing unit. “It’s been a terrific experience for me,” he said. “There were some interesting decisions and meetings we had about
which guys we were going to keep, what kind of a team we were going to have going forward. Dave (Cameron) wanted guys who play the same style, a four-line, lunch bucket kind of crew and that’s what we’ve ended up with. We’ve had a few of those in my time in Kelowna, so it’s certainly familiar to me.” On the subject of KeSee Huska A24

Callahan’s a character player Callahan from A22 an outstanding first half of the WHL season with 33 tpoints in 33 games. But according to Rockets assistant coach Dan Lambert it is Callahan’s character and determination that sets him apart. t “There is no doubt that his character is the reason he made the team,” said Lambert. “He is a bigtime team player and he adds a style of play that I rdon’t think the Americans have a whole lot of. Especially knowing Canada is going with a bigger more aggressive team.” It’s not he first time Callahan has come from out of nowhere to make a hockey team. He was undrafted by WHL teams and made the Rockets as a walk-on three years ago. Playing in the WHL isn’t the easiest route to Team USA either, although four major junior players made the club for this year’s tournament. “i think this is a huge accomplishment for Mitchell,” said Lambert. “Not only did he come from off the radar but he’s not a college guy and there’s no doubt they like the guys that are playing in their country and in their colleges. Because of the first half he had with
us Mitchell has opened a lot of eyes not only at that level but I’m sure the Red Wings are very happy.” Callahan was a sixth round pick of Detroit in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and has been the Rockets most consistent player through the first half of the WHL season. Lambert says although they will miss the gritty forward when the Rockets return to action after Christmas, Callahan’s confidence should be sky high when he returns. “This is the biggest stage you can play at before getting to the NHL,” said Lambert. “I think what it helps more than anything is his confidence. He has probably realized that he made the team and didn’t get any favors to do it. It was all through hard work. He’s making people realize that he’s a very valuable player.”
Callahan joins Kelowna Rockets defender Tyson Barrie, forward Andreas Stene (Norway) and head coach Ryan Huska as well as Kelowna Minor Hockey product Curtis Hamilton at the World Junior Tournament, although he will be on the opposite side from his teammates. But with his inclusion on Team USA, the always hated American squad may have gained a few fans north of the border, except of course, when the USA takes on Team Canada. “We are thrilled to death that Mitchell made Team USA and wish him nothing but the best except when he plays Canada,” Lambert said with a chuckle. Team USA opens the World Junior on Dec. 26 vs. Finland.
Two new mixed martial artists and two victories for Toshido MMA out of Kelowna. That was the result from the Pure Fighting Championship in Red Deer last weekend.

Tosoff, in his pro debut, quickly made his statement by methodically taking his opponent, former Muay Thai Kickboxing Champion, Luke Spicer of Red Deer, AB, down to the mat and finishing Spicer with elbow strikes for the TKO stoppage at just 3:07 of round one.
This victory put Tosoff on the map in the Canadian Middleweight division. Meanwhile Team Toshido’s Rory MacDonald is still recovering from minor knee surgery, but is expected to return to the octagon on April 30 of next year at UFC 129, in Toronto.

Scott to defend in Cloverdale The field is set for the 2011 edition of the Scotties B.C. women’s curling championship next month in Cloverdale. And Kelowna’s Kelly Scott will be there to defend her provincial title. Joining the Scott rink for the Jan. 17 to 23 event will be former champion Kelly Law of Royal City, Richmond’s Kirsty Lewis, Jen Fewster and Patti Knezevic of Prince George, Duncan’s Rosalyn Craig, Jill Winters from Nelson, Royal City’s Adina Tasaka, Karla Thompson from Kamloops, and Nanaimo’s Nicole Blacke. Based on their experience and past successes, Scott, third Jeanna Schraeder, second Sasha Carter and lead Jacquie Armstrong will head into the 10-rink event as the favourites to win their fourth B.C. crown, with the Law foursome warranting serious consideration as a cofavourite. The two rinks squared off in last year’s final with Scott winning 8-4.

With some of North America’s best midget clubs on the agenda, the youthful Okanagan Rockets will have their hands full at the Calgary Mac’s International Hockey Tournament. But win, lose or draw, the Rockets expect to arrive home sometime next week a better hockey club. “Nothing bad can come from playing against the best,” said Rockets manager David Michaud. “We want to go in there and compete and challenge the other teams. “I think the biggest part for us is the experience and exposure the kids are going to get. It’s tough to know on paper exactly how we stack up, but if we go in and play hard then we’ll have no regrets.”

The Rockets will open the tournament on Boxing Day against the Calgary Buffaloes. Tournament games will follow on Dec. 27 vs the Carolina Junior Hurricanes, Dec. 28 against the Saskatoon Contacts, and Dec. 29 vs the St. Albert Saints. All three Prairie opponents have winning records in their respective leagues this season, while the Hurricanes are a considerably a older team with a number of 18-year-old players. Conversely, the Rockets sit in seventh spot in the BCMML at 10-14-2 and are the second youngest team in the province with just two 17-year-old players on the roster. Head coach Brandon West said his team has been in work in progress this season, but positive steps are being made with
each and every outing. “We have 19 guys who had no experience at the major midget level before this year,” said West, 26, who took over as head coach earlier this season when Misko Antisin left for a job in Switzerland. “It’s been a big jump for a lot of the guys, but they’re adjusting pretty well and we’re steadily building. It’s a process and we just have to be patient. The Mac’s tournament is going to be a great experience for them.” The Rockets’ strength is in goal where Adam Todd and Connor DeMelo have been solid this season. If the netminding duo can make some timely saves, and if the Rockets scoring-by-committee approach delivers results, then Michaud believes any outcome is possible.
“We’re confident in our goaltending and in a short-term tournament like this, goaltending can take you a long way,” said Michaud. “We don’t have one big line or a number of top-end scorers like the other teams, but we have four lines that can contribute, no one line can really be keyed on. We’re more of a blue collar team and hopefully that will help us compete against some of these elite teams. “It sounds cliche, but we need to take it a game at a time. That’s the mindset we have to have.” On the upside, Michaud said the Rockets are 100 per cent healthy for the first time this season. The Rockets will fly to Calgary on Christmas morning. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Fans of the Jesus Coyote show and its psychedelic Christian/indigenous imagery—like the florescent, coyote-headed Jesus—will be thrilled with the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art’s new choice of leader. Artist Chris Bose has decided to stop touring, keep creating and make the move to Kelowna to take over from executive director Jennifer Pickering, who will step back to focus on her own art. With a show like Jesus Coyote fresh in the minds of anyone who follows the Alternator, Bose’s appointment will be quite a thrill; but for those who have no idea who the man in the viking costume is, or even what the edgy little gallery in the Rotary Centre is all about, Bose says rectifying this fringy reputation contemporary artists have assumed will be the mission for his tenure. “We’re going to have fun,” he said. “We’ve got some ideas and we’ve been brainstorming stuff…It’s about changing the perception of art.” Bose wants to see average people value the artistic process and what it can do for society to ensure working artists, like himself, Pickering and the cohort of thought-provoking young talents who circle through the Alternator’s doors, find the support they need to keep working. “Art isn’t superfluous,” he said.

CHRIS BOSE is the new executive director at the Alternator Centre for
Contemporary Art, in the Rotary Centre. He intends to challenge our perception of art.

He points out prehistoric paintings, like those in the French Lascaux caves, suggest there’s probably more to the process of creating and sharing through artistic endeavours than might always meet the eye. If humanity has been

doing something like painting on walls for 17,000 years, it must have value for a society, said Bose, who has reportedly taken his process to the streets, walking around his new hometown in viking costume. Unfortunately, proving value is a considerable struggle for small artistrun centres like the Alternator at the moment. In a year where hallmarks of the arts scene, like the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, lost government funding by the tens of thousands, the Alternator struggled to make ends meet. As executive director, Pickering became a prominent critic of government spending priorities and the damaging effect drastically cutting the arts can have—even on government’s own bottom line when tourism dollars fall.
She created React 2010, which gave artists a chance to offer a countervoice to the Olympic hype and the games which sucked so much funding from arts and cultural organizations. “With glowing hearts we kill the arts,” indigenous artist Marika Swan’s contribution said in a line which aptly summarized many of the contributions. The online collection of messages and images went international and was later shown in galleries as far-flung from the B.C. arts community’s conundrum as Turkey. For his part, Bose added a multimedia piece which featured a glowing neon purple skyline, with the Olympic rings hanging like a spectre above the burning city below— and an inset coyote skull. Growing up surrounded by family who survived the residential school system, Bose’s work explores the contemporary experience of having aboriginal roots in a country now struggling with its racist history. In recent years, the Alternator leaned heavily on First Nation’s artists and the current aboriginal experience. Starting his time as the gallery’s administrator against a backdrop of the Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Bose said one can expect to see the space “continue to incorporate the stories of the land, the hidden histories and continue to give a voice to artists so they can be heard.” And as for himself, he’s hoping the new job can help him set aside the “cutting edge” part of his world for his art and leave living on the edge of his seat, constantly travelling from place to place, for someone who doesn’t have children. “I’ve been on the road as a professional artist for the last two years solid,” said Bose. “I was getting tired. A lot of travelling, a lot of planes, a lot of sitting in hotel rooms watching the Food Network,” he explained. Bose assumed his position this month. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS
Gulliver’s Travels should appeal to the family crowd C
hristmas is upon us and most of the big holiday movies are already in theatres (save Gulliver’s Travels, which opens Christmas or Boxing Day, depending on the theatre), so once the presents are open and the turkey is eaten, what are you going to see with your free time and/or movie gift certificates?
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis The only movie I have not written about in previous columns is Gulliver’s Travels, which stars Jack Black, Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Emily Blunt (The Young Victoria, Wolfman), Amanda Peet (2012) and comedian Billy Connolly in this updated version of the classic story by Jonathan Swift. Black plays travel writer Lemuel Gulliver, who takes an assignment in Bermuda, but ends up
on the island of Liliput, where he towers over its tiny citizens. I predict the movie is going to get lambasted by the critics; however, it may win over the family audience that made the Night at the Museum movies big hits during previous holiday seasons. Luckily, there is a large selection of movies to choose from this year, and unlike last year with Avatar, there is not one movie that is going to dominate the rest. If you are looking for lightweight comedies, you will probably want to check out Little Fockers (Robert DeNiro and Ben Stiller) or How Do You Know (Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson). Critics have not been kind to either, but both have appealing casts and great talent behind the camera. The critics have also not favoured The Tourist but the Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp actioncomedy has most viewers enjoying it; however, I have talked to some who haven’t. As far as family comedies go, Yogi Bear is
CONTRIBUTED
JACK BLACK stars in an updated version of Gulliver’s
Travels, opening this weekend.
AT THE MOVIES said to be entertaining for both young and old, as is Tangled. Other movies families may want to check out, especially if they are sci-fi and fantasy fans are Tron: Legacy and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Both boast dazzling special effects and especially Tron benefits from being in 3D. For those wanting to get a jump start on awards season, The Fighter is a very good choice for fans of inspirational sports stories and good human
drama. Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale and Amy Adams are getting raves for their performances. Also getting raves are Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis as rival ballerinas in the thriller Black Swan. The movie is said to be riveting but not necessarily uplifting. The story of reluctant King George VI and how he overcame his stammer in The King’s Speech does not sound exciting, but this movie, starring Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, is one of the most talked about of the year.
And western fans can celebrate True Grit, which is getting some of the best reviews of the season, as are the performances by Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin and the writing and directing of the Coen Brothers. Of 31 reviews on Rottentomatoes. com, only one reviewer disliked it, mainly because Bridges is no John Wayne.

Holiday delights to keep the five-year-old in us all alive
I
t’s Christmas Eve. Yay! Santa is coming to-night. Christmas is absolutely my favourite holiday of the year. My parents did such an amazing job of infusing the Christmas spirit into my brothers and I when we were children, that I have carried that anticipatory delight my entire life. From reindeer tracks on the driveway to Rudolf leaving behind his jingle bell harness—they really put on a show for our wondering little eyes. Thank you mom and dad, although I am now old enough to know that Santa really isn’t coming, the five year old in me still bubbles with excitement.
FOOD & WINE TRAILS
Jennifer Schell With more holiday entertaining on the horizon, and little time left to prepare, let Illichmann’s help you. Illichmann’s Meats, Sausages & Gourmet Foods Ltd. is a fourth generation local family business and landmark in Kelowna since 1967. I remember going there as a child and basking in the delicious smells and warm welcome by Mrs. Illichman, who you will
still occasionally find behind the counter. Besides offering a gorgeous array of meats and in-house prepared sausages etc., they also cater and offer take out. As I mentioned in last week’s column, they provide a full turkey dinner service. They also offer a delicious fully prepared baron of beef—so easy and so perfect—what a great idea for Boxing Day or New Years. Do check out their entire menu. Illichmann’s carries only the highest quality of meats along with imported European gourmet groceries and Gehringer Brothers wine—a onestop shop. 1937 Gordon

Nothing beats a Choucroute on a cold day. An Alsatian dish, Choucroute is basically sauerkraut slow roasted in Riesling with smoked ham served with potatoes and a variety of German sausages. It’s a perfect dish to serve a hungry crowd and a great choice for Boxing Day or your New Year’s Eve feast. Illichmann’s carries everything you will need to make this Euro specialty dish. Froehlich Weihnachten.
CHOUCROUTE GARNIE
ET WHAT ALLY WANT
Serves 10 2 pounds smoked meaty ham hocks 2 pounds cooked bratwurst (or gauge by how many guests—two sausages each is good) 1.5 pounds fully cooked kielbasa, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces 1/2 pound fully cooked knockwurst 8 ounces thick-sliced bacon strips, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces 2 large onions, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons juniper berries 1 1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns 10 whole cloves 8 whole allspice 3 bay leaves 2 apples, unpeeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 2 2-pound jars sauerkraut (or bulk), rinsed well and squeezed dry 2 cups Riesling (Either Alsatian, Gehringer or 8th Generation) 2 pounds small potatoes Serve with three mustards: Dijon, Whole Grain and Tarragon Dijon. You can prepare this part the day before. Bring ham hocks to a boil in water that is covering by two inches and reduce heat, cover and simmer until meat is very tender, about 2 hours. Remove hocks, cool and remove meat. Boil broth until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes. Cool broth totally and then remove fat layer. Refrigerate with ham meat separately.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Heat heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and sauté until crisp. Remove bacon with slotted spoon. Add onions, spices and bay leaves to same pot. Sauté until onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add apples and sauté 2 minutes. Mix in sauerkraut. Brown bratwursts in a separate fry pan. Add all meats to the pot or big roaster, add ham broth and wine and press down to cover. Boil 10 minutes. Cover Choucroute and bake 1.5 hours. Can be made a couple of hours ahead—turn off oven and keep warm. Arrange Choucroute on a big platter with potatoes. Serve with mustards and horseradish and a loaf of German rye bread. Pair with Riesling or beer—Prost. Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C. Wine Trails Magazine. jennschell@shaw.ca twitter.com/theclubkitchen

BOXING WEEK
Change your negative outlook CONTRIBUTOR
Our 16-year-old son often likes to state loudly: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My life sucks!â&#x20AC;? While his comment may be in jest, still it is a comment often used by both teenagers and adults. Our lives are frequently viewed as harsh and unjust. We seem to work too hard for little reward. Teenagers seldom seem to understand the restrictions and confusion of our current society. Economic conditions have never been bleaker. Indeed, maybe at times it does feel like your life sucks. But there is hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a lot of hope. We can choose to change our lives right now, and science is showing us how. A new field of science called Epigenetics is emerging, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demonstrating that we have far more control over every aspect of our lives than was ever considered possible. Traditional medical dogma has always said that our DNAâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;our genesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;control our lives. We were given a set of genes at conception, and if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the happiness gene, your life was al-
ways going to suck. Epigenetics now tells us that your genes are only a blueprint. Sure, they make the proteins that run your body, but you control which proteins are made and when. You actually control every aspect of your lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you can choose to be happy and your body will respond. Epigenetics is the biology of belief, an understanding now accepted by many scientists and medical professionals that your thoughtsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both positive and negativeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have a profound effect over your physiology and your genes. With medicine, doctors have long recognized this as the placebo effect. When a doctor gives a patient a non-active sugar pill (a placebo) rather than an active pharmaceutical one and tells the patient that it will make them well, up to 50 per cent of the time the patient will recover completely. This is a powerful response by the body that underpins the biology of belief. By believing and accepting that you will get happy and healthy, your body will respond. You have the choice to change
any aspect of your life. Epigenetics now describes how that process works. Many people in the broad field of alternative medicine have known and been practising this belief concept for a long time. In 1976, Louise Hay, the founder of Hay House Publishing, used positive belief to cure herself of cancer, and wrote the groundbreaking book Heal Your Body. Conventional medicine has been reluctant to embrace the belief concept, relying mainly on new medical and pharmaceutical discoveries to treat illness. Epigenetics is putting the science into the power of positive thought, and many people are taking notice. You can choose to improve your life today. In doing so, you will find there are many professional health practitioners in your community who can help. For more information about the topic of epigenetics, check out the website www.anantacreations.com. Roger Drinkwater is a medical scientist and a specialist in pharmaceutical development and molecular genetics.

Subaru Forster has what Canadians want Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
CONTRIBUTED
THE SUBARU FORESTER has a new engine for 2011 but retains all the attributes like full-time Symmetrical AllWheel-Drive and four-wheel suspension that allows it to go both on- and off-road without trepidation.
QUEBEC CITY: Subaru knew all-wheel-drive (AWD) was a good thing long before Canadians realized it was the way to go. Back in 1999 when Subaru had already been selling only AWDequipped vehicles in Canada since 1995, there were only 39 AWD vehicles (counting trim levels) offered among all carmakers. Today there are 250! Starting in 1984, the Subaru Leone (later Loyale) could be purchased with true four-wheel-drive that had to be engaged. It was clunky, but it worked. And I ought to know because I owned a Loyale that served me faithfully for more than a decade. What makes Subaru’s patented Symmetrical AllWheel-Drive approach better than the host of “slip and grip” AWDs out there
is because the Subaru system runs all-time not parttime which means it is constantly working. Although the Forester was totally revised for 2009, engineers have been honing the flat-four “boxer” engine and drivetrain resulting in what Subaru feels is one of the best and most competent AWD crossovers on the market. The big change for 2011 is the engine. While it remains a 2.5-litre horizontally-opposed fourcylinder, everything is changed. The new powerplant has twin overhead cams whereas the former was a single cam. The older engine was “over square” meaning the bore was larger than the stroke. The new one is “square” with the bore and stroke about equal. The advantage here is the longer stroke means more charge can be packed in the cylinder resulting in more power while using less fuel.
This is borne out in the fuel consumption ratings where the new engine with five-speed manual is rated at 9.9/7.4L/100 km city/highway compared to the old engine with the same transmission at 10.4/7.7L/100km city/ highway. There are actually two versions of the 2.5-litre DOHC. The normally aspirated version produces 170 hp and 174 lb/ft of torque. The turbocharged version found only on the topline 2.5XT Limited makes 224 hp and 226 lb/ft of torque. The turbo requires premium fuel while the normally aspirated 2.5-litre needs only regular. Depending on trim level, transmissions offered are a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic. The automatic has a sequential manual shift mode that lets the driver chose between NorSee Subaru B3

From clunky to one of the best crossovers in the market Subaru from B1 mal, Sport and Manual. Each mode has a different torque converter lock-up map. To back up the claims of superior AWD capability, Subaru decided to pick mostly rural and cottage roads to the north and east of Quebec City, to prove its point. As if ordained, the snow started falling two days before the dates for the press ride-and-drive and did not let up for two days. Wet snow, blowing snow, wind squalls and ice pellets just kept on coming. The first part was easy enough down Quebec’s Highway 40 but then we turned north and deep into the countryside. While my co-driver disagreed (and he was driving faster), I found the power steering feedback to be a bit on the light side for me. I realize it was a combination of the cushioning affect of the snowy roads and the AWD doing what it was supposed to. It was also the first time this season I’ve tackled real snow, so perhaps I was being over sensitive. At one point we were directed to the off-road

You couldn’t go fast because of the slush-filled ruts. The Forester (with really good snow tires) just rumbled along as good or better as any true four-wheel-drive vehicle. Not a lot of people know the Forester was the first SUV to have fourwheel independent suspension with struts at the
front and double wishbones at the back. Over the years, like all things Subaru, the basic design has been refined constantly. Also aiding on- and off-road going is what Subaru calls Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) which combines stability control, traction control, ABS and the list goes on. These systems are all integrated under VDC for sure-footed grip on pavement.
But when it comes to snow, slush and mud like we had on the off-road portion of the drive, there is a switch that allows the VDC to be turned off. As deep as the snow was on the off-road section we never needed to cancel out the VDC, illustrating just how good it is. After the new engine, changes to the 2011 Forester include more upgrades except for the Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) that was standard

Elantra is the new face of Hyundai for 2011 “This car is now the face of our brand in Canada.” Hyundai CEO Steve Kelleher Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
LA JOLLA, Ca.: Hyundai intends to be the leader in the Canadian compact segment by this time next year. At the press launch of the 2011 Elantra in California, Hyundai Canada president and CEO, Steve Kelleher, said, “this car is now the face of our brand in Canada. “We expect it will become our volume leader, replacing the Accent.” Kelleher said he believes the Elantra can, and will, knock off Toyota Corolla, Mazda3 and the perennial compact car king, Honda Civic. Tall words indeed, but he is betting not only on the company’s record sales performance this year, but also that the Can-
adian public now equates Hyundai with value for the money as opposed to being simply cheap and cheerful. The 2011 Elantra is the fourth vehicle in Hyundai’s 24/7 version 2.0 product initiative in which the Korean automaker plans to launch seven new models in 24 months. Elantra is the next step
in this plan following the Tucson CUV, Sonata family sedan and Equus luxury sedan. It makes the most of Hyundai’s signature “Fluidic Sculpture” design principles first seen on the Sonata. But there is more to it than just the looks. It is also very aerodynamic, featuring a drag coefficient of an exceptionally

low 0.28, comparing favourably to the Chevrolet Volt’s 0.29. Elantra was designed at Hyundai’s North American Design Center in Irvine, Calif. Under the hood there are wholesale changes starting with the switch to the latest generation fourcylinder engine known in-house as the “Nu”. At 1.8-litres, it replaces the 2.0-litre Beta engine in the outgoing Elantra. Also new is a sixspeed manual or six-speed automatic transmission that replaces the former five-speed manual and four-speed automatic. Along with an overall weight reduction and low rolling resistance silica tires, Elantra achieves estimated fuel economy ratings of 6.8 L/100 km in the city and 4.9 L/100 km on the highway with the standard six-speed manual. The six-speed automatic adds only 0.1 L/100 km to the vehicle’s city fuel consumption rating while the highway rating is the same. Hyundai claims best See Hyundai B6

Best in class fuel economy and 1,000 km on a single tank Hyundai from B4 in class fuel economy, power and power-to-rate ratio in the class. According to Hyundai Canada, the new Elantra should be good for 1,000 km on a single tank of regular fuel. The Nu engine develops 148 hp and 131 lb/ ft of torque. While weighing 34 kg less, it achieves a 16 per cent improvement in highway fuel economy over the outgoing model. The lines of the Elantra are interesting the closer you get to it. Looking along the flanks of the car, especially at the rear, the side panels rise and then tumble over the back wheel arch towards the rear. Inside, the 2011 Elantra looks very modern with a host of features such as (depending on model) front and even rear heated seats, Bluetooth and a seven-inch colour monitor for the optional navi/info system. I don’t care what Hyundai says, this is not a compact car on the outside. Inside it is classified as “mid-size” but it approaches that of a large car. The engine, for 1.8-litres, is pretty powerful but what makes it is Hyundai’s in-house sixspeed automatic.
You can shift it sequentially, but I never bother. The auto box in the Elantra (thanks to all the computer mapping these days) invariably picks the right gear. At one point on the drive portion, my usual co-driver and I were up over 5,000 feet in the Cleveland National Forest east of San Diego. Had this been a 1.8-litre and a four-speed auto, I’m pretty sure the Elantra would have been out of breath after the climb. On the two times we passed, the transmission shifted down two speeds without a clunk in the drivetrain. The 2011 Elantra is equipped with just about every safety and drive aid you can think of such as six airbags, electronic stability control with traction control and fourwheel disc brakes that stop it shorter than a Civic and Corolla according to Hyundai. The unibody chassis makes extensive use of high-strength steels. Did you know, by the way, Hyundai is the only automaker in the world with this own steel plant? As is usual with Hyundai, there are four basic trim levels (L, GL, GLS and Limited) starting with the base L, manual at $15,849. The volume

HYUNDAI has made huge leaps in interior design (above)and use of materials which is shown on the 2011 Elantra. The “Nu” engine (below), replacing the former “Beta” four-cylinder, produces 148 hp and 131 lb/ft of torque routing power to the front through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
leader will probably be the GL automatic with air and cruise at $19,999. With everything, and that includes leather and navigation/audio system, the most you can spend on the Elantra is $24,699 for the Limited with Navigation. In fact, prices for the 2011 models are unchanged from 2010. As noted at the top, Hyundai has set itself a lofty goal of being number one in the compact car segment and that represents almost 50 per cent of total sales in this country. But if I’ve learned anything about Hyundai over the years, is that once they set a target, they invariably achieve it.

Back off and avoid the dangers of tailgating By Kate Wells When you ask drivers what their biggest pet peeves are when driving on the road, people will reply: TAILGATERS! Being able to drive down the road doing the speed limit and creating space around your vehicle can be difficult, especially when someone is driving behind who is becoming more and more impatient. The driver may honk or flash their lights at you or even pass you illegally. However, what they don’t realize is that tailgating is dangerous not only for the vehicle they are tailgating, but for themselves as well. When a driver is being tailgated,
their eyes are generally focused on their rear view mirror, watching what the vehicle is doing behind them. Some drivers can become angry driving in front of a tailgater and even want to slam on their brakes. Others may become nervous depending on the threatening nature of the driver behind them. When a driver is focused on the car behind them and not on the road ahead, reaction times deteriorate and they may need to slam on their brakes because they haven’t seeing the danger ahead soon enough. Who tailgates and why? There’s a variety of reasons. Many drivers have an aggressive personality and

tailgating is just their way of driving. Other times, the driver is in a hurry to get to their destination. So, what should you do when faced with a tailgater? 1. Never focus on the vehicle in your mirror. Stay focused on the road ahead and check your rear view mirror approximately every five to seven seconds. 2. Don’t be intimidated into increasing your speed. You’re driving safely and to the legal speed limit. You do not have to do what the tailgater wants. Chances are, even if you speed up, you will still not be going fast enough for the driver behind you. Plus, speeding puts you in another
dangerous category on the road! 3. Don’t drive too slowly! Many people think that by travelling under the speed limit, they are a very safe driver. Make sure you are driving the speed limit that is set for ideal conditions. Change your speed when the weather is less desirable. 4. When you can, pull over and allow the tailgater to pass. They are not worth the stress they can put on you as a driver! And for all the tailgaters out there: Back off! Give the drivers in front of you a break and make driving for you safer as well! Have a safe and happy holiday from everyone at DriveWise!

A gift that shows you care all year long
Here’s a gift that shows your thoughtfulness, resourcefulness and most importantly, that you care for the person’s health and safety. It’s a roadside safety kit. And in some cases a roadside first aid kit. What could be more fundamental to the peace your own peace of mind that you have added some
extra safety for that person while avoiding the “tie or gift card” dilemma? Car Care Canada suggests a do-it-yourself road side safety and emergency kit. This kit is for peace of mind during a roadside emergency or breakdown and can be assembled in a sealing rubber container, wrapped nicely and ready
to drop into a car trunk. • Flares • Blankets • Matches • Flashlight with batteries • An emergency cell phone • Jumper cables Bungee cord • Screwdriver • Duct tape • Fire extinguisher • Good quality Map
• Roadside-assistance contact You might also consider a road trip first aid kit. This kit is important for the person who takes much longer drives and goes on road trips that take them into the hinterland: • Anti-Nauseant (Gravol) • After Bite • Bug Spray • Bandages
• Disinfectant spray • Anti-Bacterial ointment • Gauze • Pain Medication • Antihistamine • Sun screen (SPF 30 minimum) • Antiseptic wipes for wounds • Hand sanitizer • Thermometer • Medication • Health Cards.

MISSLER, Eleanor Rose
Passed away on Dec.17 2010 at the Kelowna Hospice House at the age of 80. Predeceased by her husband Joe Missler in 1995.She will lovingly be remembered by her children Robert Missler (Sandy), Donna Pawulski (Wayne) Carol Mctavish (Bill) all of Kelowna. Her sisters Viola Pawluk (Mike) of Corona California Diane Stefanson (Tom) of Winnipeg, brother Allan Kleinfelder (Astrid) of Kelowna and many caring grandchildren great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Mom was born in the farming community of Rock Glen Sask. daughter to Ann and Jack Kleinfelder. The family later moved to Winnipeg where her ambitious father would eventually open a construction business placing Mom into a whole new world. She met Joseph Missler at the early age of 18 that would lead to a 46 year romance. Nicknamed Lucky mom and dad lived most of their lives enjoying family and friends in their home communities of Elmwood, Garden City and Tuxedo. Mom loved to bowl at St. Josephs but most of her time was spent with her family and relatives playing cards and entertaining. Sunday roast beef was a given and the only unknown was how many friends would show up. Mom spent most of those early years working hard so her family could benefit with a better home and life. She epitomized the best mom award for her kind, gentle and nurturing soul. She was the babysitter of choice for many of her nieces and nephews and if you were family, you could do no wrong. In 1985 Mom and Dad made their way west to Kelowna. Retirement was wonderful, golf now replaced bowling and they became founding members of the Kelowna Springs. In 1995 mom retained her membership after dads passing but most of her time was spent surrounded by her family. The last few years were difficult but even with Alzheimers mom would retain those precious qualities of hers to the very end. Her last days were spent surrounded by family at that very special place, the Kelowna Hospice House. Our thanks go out to all those amazing caregivers during that difficult time. There will not be a day when we won’t think of this incredible woman. A private family celebration was held. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Hospice House.
