PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE Annette Gateley gives Jerome Walsh his annual flu shot at the first flu shot clinic of the year.

Flu shot clinic opening draws a crowd STAFF REPORTER

It took two parking attendants to handle the traffic heading for Trinity Baptist Church on Monday as the first flu shot clinic of the season opened for business. Every year public health nurses assemble for a series of fall flu shot clinics designed to give those most at risk of contracting influenza and suffering serious consequences from the viruses a free vaccination.

r Credit ‘Direct gCoat even aurus Truck-o-vsed’ appro

“We’re doing quite well today, so we’ll probably do about 2,000 (vaccinations),” said Joey Willis, flu coordinator. This year the flu vaccination covers three strains—California, Brisbane and Perth. The strains are named for their point of origin and are selected based on what’s affected the southern hemisphere. “Strains usually start in the southern hemisphere and then move their way across,” explained Willis. The influenza virus can be

killed with sunlight, disinfectant and detergents, hence it tends to hit en masse in the winter and surfaces in the southern and northern hemispheres at different times of the year, coinciding with winter in each hemisphere. Determining whether or not one is eligible for a free vaccine is quite simple, Willis said. There is information on the Interior Health web site, www.interiorhealth. ca, and the flu hotline, 250-8687715. In general, the vaccine is avail-

able for those 65 years of age and older or those living with someone 65 and older. Small children, aged six months to 23 months, are also eligible as well as those living with children who fall within that age range. Anyone with chronic health conditions is also eligible as are those who care for others, such as nurses. Anyone who is not eligible for a free immunization can always purchase the vaccine at a pharmacy (usually $25) where the pharmacist will administer it.

A contingent of Kelowna protestors inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement brought a plea for tolerance to council chambers Monday afternoon, but walked away with little more than deepened resolve to get their message across. “We knew this would happen—now we’ll just grow in numbers. These councillors don’t care about social issues or poverty,” shouted one woman outside City Hall, trying to rally the group of Occupy demonstrators walking away from a brief showdown with local politicians. The 30 or so who converged at city hall were attempting to get council to allow them to camp out at Kerry Park during their protest against global financial inequality and corporate greed. They weren’t even given a chance to plead their case in an official capacity. “We’re not asking for them to change the bylaw,” said demonstrator D. Earl Keegan. “We just want them to ask bylaw and police officers to stop enforcing against us for the duration of the protests.” Since the effort started two weeks ago, bylaw officers have asked protestors to leave, removed their tents from the park and repeatedly threatened participants with $500 fines, all of which is a contravention of a basic human right, said Keegan. “No bylaw should supersede the right to assemble,” he said, calling council fascists, at one point. “We’re here for social change. We want to end inequality. (Council) are the 99 per cent.” According to the mayor, however, being part of the 99 per cent didn’t warrant unique treatment. “Council at this time respects your right to peacefully protest from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m,” said Mayor Sharon Shepherd to those who were in council. “Those are the hours of our park operation. Those are the hours for all people to be in and out of our park and we will continue to respect those hours.”

including a few calls about grizzly bears in the Kelowna area. “There have been more and more sightings of grizzly bears in the last five years, since I came here,” said Conservation Officer Josh Lockwood. And, a hunter in the Lumby area could have died when he was attacked by a grizzly bear last week—if he hadn’t been armed. He was deer hunting in the Harris Creek Road area in the morning, in second growth forest, with his Chesapeake Bay retriever, when a grizzly charged his dog. He yelled and the bruin changed tacks and charged him, so he fired two rounds at him from 10 metres away and immediately left the area with his dog. He reported the incident to the CO service, and two COs located a dead grizzly bear in the area. It was a male, estimated to be about seven years

old and 550 pounds. It’s believed it was a predatory attack on the dog, but a defensive attack on the human, and there was no evidence of a food cache nearby. “If that hunter hadn’t shot, he probably would have died in the attack,” commented Lockwood. Although grizzly bears are not unheard-of in the Lumby area, it’s not particularly grizzly habitat, he noted. In the Kelowna area this fall there were reports of a grizzly in the area of the Kelowna airport, then Sunset Ranch area, then Okanagan Centre, but then he disappeared, so it’s believed he headed back up into the hills in the wild. That same day there was a report of a grizzly in the Joe Rich area, but it’s believed he headed up Gallagher’s Canyon and into the plateau above. The bear hit by a car last week on Highway 97 in Lake Country at Commonwealth Road was not a grizzly as earlier re-

Hair left at the scene indicated it was a black bear. Those going into the back country are advised to carry bear spray, travel in groups and remember that pets attract grizzlies. If you do spot one, make yourself as largelooking as possible and back off. Don’t intervene if one attacks your dog, he adds. Remember to leave an itinerary when you go hiking too. Campers and residents should be careful about

managing attractants whether in the wilderness or in residential areas, he warned. Food and garbage should be properly put away, along with dirty barbecues and pet food—and the trash should not be put out prior to the morning of your collection day. If you have fruit trees and you’re not going to use all the fruit, contact the food bank rather than leaving it to rot and fall, attracting wild animals. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

be aware. Someone may be watching you as you shoot that animal out of season. That was the situation off Bear Main Forest Service Road last Saturday when only young spike fork bull moose were in season and someone illegally shot a larger animal. Conservation Officer Josh Lockwood said a hunter happened to have his binoculars trained on that moose when it was shot and he got the license plate number of the only vehicle in the area. The incident occurred off the Mellon Forest Service Road, which is off

the Bear Main and it is now under investigation. However, that’s just one of 15 moose that have been poached so far this fall in the northern half of the Okanagan, says Lockwood. “There’s been a lot of poaching activity this year,” he commented. Three of those were actually self-reported by the hunters who accidentally shot them, but the remainder were not. In the Salmon Arm area, he says five illegal moose have been shot and the carcasses left, including three reported Sunday, a cow and two calves. Two were also shot

and left in the bush in the Falkland area and two in the Lumby/Cherryville area, while six have been in the Kelowna area. Another was in the Sunset Main Forest Service Road area and COs from the Penticton office are investigating that, while another was in the

Okanagan Mountain Park area earlier in the season. Two investigations are also underway into elk poachings in the Kelowna area. Lockwood said officers also conducted a patrol on the Aberdeen Plateau over the weekend and ticketed six hunters for carrying loaded firearms in their vehicles and one with a loaded crossbow with an arrow in it. There were also four liquor-related offences and two Kelowna men were found without a federal Possession and Acquisition License for their firearms, so charges have been recommended against them to the Crown counsel’s office. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Child porn case hits legal snag The wheels of justice ground to an unexpected halt Monday, when sentencing for a child pornography case was put off. Darold Dean Vance pleaded guilty to the charges of possession and intent to distribute child pornography, relating to Facebook activities that came to the attention of the authorities March 2010. He was slated to be sentenced for the crimes this week, but a detail in his pre-sentencing report relating to a criminal conviction 10 years prior had escaped the attention of his defence attorney. That prompted a request for an adjournment to further examine how it would impact his client. Given the “nature of the offence” the delay was granted, and Vance won’t likely learn his fate until March 2012 due to scheduling problems for Crown counsel and the courts in general. Meantime, he is on parole with restrictions to not be in the presence of anyone under the age of 18, or in the area they may congregate. He’s also banned from social media sites.

Vacant house burned out Elliot Road was once again proven to be a West Kelowna hotspot. A vacant home, in the 3600 block sustained extensive damage in a fire that is being investigated by the West Kelowna Fire Department. “It was called in at around 5:45 a.m. on Oct. 23, by a resident who saw the flames that had fully engulfed the structure by the time emergency crews arrived,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “There was no indication that anyone was inside the home, that had been abandoned and boarded up.” The property owner was advised of the structure charring, and an investigation is ongoing.

Council candidates square off at Gospel Mission forum Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Many of the candidates running for a seat on Kelowna city council turned out to talk about housing, homelessness, poverty and other social issues last Thursday, in the first of what is expected to be several public forums held leading up to the Nov. 19 civic election. Organized by the Kelowna Gospel Mission, the forum gave the 32 candidates on hand—including the five still in the race for mayor—a minute to introduce themselves and two minutes to answer one question each. The questions were chosen at random from a list of 12 prepared in advance. There are 40 candidates running for the eight available councillor positions and five running for mayor now that Diana Van Beest and Charles Hardy have dropped out. But while some of the candidates at Thursday night’s forum were asked about issues that municipal councils can control, such as policies to encourage the creation of more affordable housing, others were asked about provincial issues such as B.C.’s minimum wage and the creation of more childcare spaces in the community. Several of the candidates said in order for Kelowna residents to make ends meet, more betterpaying jobs are needed here and council can play a part by making the city more attractive to companies to move hear and hire people. “It all comes back to business,” said former mayor Walter Gray, who is trying to win back the job he lost to incumbent

mayor Sharon Shepherd six years ago. Gray said while he agreed with the province’s plan to raise the minimum wage over the next few years, he said it is impossible for a family to live on the current rate of $8.75, or even the $10.25 it is expected to rise to by next year. That’s why the city needs to attract industry to Kelowna that will provide higher paying jobs, he said. Shepherd, when asked about childcare, said incentives could be included for developers willing to include childcare facilities in new multi-family buildings. Shepherd, who received by far the loudest applause after she answered her question, then said companies should follow the city’s lead and allow more flexible work schedules for their employees to aid child care. Another mayoral candidate, Cal Condy, floated the idea of using shipping containers to create affordable housing units, as has been done elsewhere in the world. But he said when he suggested it here, he was told there is nowhere to put them. But others, such as councillor candidate Tisha Kalmanovich, said the city needs to be more daring when it comes to affordable housing proposals. It must think outside the box, she said. “It’s what I call the wow factor,” said Kalmanovitch. The forum attracted about 70 people to the Habitat on Leon Avenue where it was held. Because the venue sells liquor, the audience was restricted to those over 19. As a result, one of

W OUR VIEW

Policing plan backfires

.C. might have shot itself in the foot with Ottawa’s gun by threatening that municipalities were prepared to abandon the venerable RCMP and form a provincial force. The remarks, made recently by Langley’s Peter Fassbender, the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ observer in contract negotiations between the province and Ottawa, came as a reaction to what many consider an unpalatable policing deal with the Mounties.

While the proposed 20-year contract for policing services throughout much of the province is indeed expensive and undesirable, the comments that we’ll take our gun and strike out on our own are somewhat premature. For one, we don’t even own the gun. In Nanaimo, taxpayers foot the bill for 90 per cent of all costs to have the RCMP police the community, yet all the city really owns is the building out of which the officers are based.

Everything else, from the guns and handcuffs to the cruisers and computers, ultimately belong to Ottawa. Despite the threat to form B.C.’s own force, it appears no one has really done the homework on how feasible that really is. No one is presenting any numbers that show what starting a provincial force would cost, nor how it would save us money and hassle in the long-term. Solicitor General Shirley Bond called it a “very expen-

sive, very challenging” prospect. In other words, we can’t afford it and probably can’t figure out how to do it. It’s no surprise then that Ottawa called B.C.’s bluff recently, issuing an ‘ultimatum’ that we either sign the contract or the Mounties will march into the sunset. Next time, before we go off making threats half-cocked, perhaps we should make sure we’re not taking aim at our own boots and the gun isn’t about to backfire.

Still a long road to go toward ‘community living’

y first glimpse of B.C.’s care system for developmentally disabled people was as a teen in the early 1970s. My grandfather brought me to his workplace, Tranquille “school.” The Kamloops institution that began life as a tuberculosis sanitorium in 1907 was by then converted to warehouse a different group of society’s outcasts. Ambulatory inmate-patients wearing locked-on football helmets wandered the courtyard of a sprawling prison-hospital complex that featured its own fire station. Tranquille would hit the headlines a decade later when Human Resources Minister Grace McCarthy an-

nounced that she was enacting a plan, years in the making, to close such places. Tranquille, with 323 inmate-patients and 675 staff, would be first. A 1983 newspaper report captured the mood: “Mentally retarded persons in institutions must not be ‘dumped back on the doorstep of their natural families’ when these institutions are closed, the executive director of the B.C. Association for the Mentally Retarded warned Monday.” The B.C. Government Employ-

ees’ Union began an occupation of the buildings the next day, that lasted three weeks before staff agreed to work on the system that would replace it a Tom year later. Some patients did Fletcher go back to their families, with support services. Today B.C. has a network of 700 group homes, essentially smaller institutions. Their province-wide union contract was just renewed under B.C.’s “net zero” wage mandate, with an additional $18 million to enroll employees in dozens of contract-

ed agencies to a pension plan. Lobbying and court action have forced expansion of provincial services to those diagnosed with autism and fetal alcohol conditions. People with Down syndrome and other disabilities now live much longer, to the point where some develop dementia as well. All this is on top of the many previously independent seniors developing dementia and other disabling conditions at an accelerating rate. Stephanie Cadieux, the latest minister of what is now called Social Development, has asked for a multi-ministry examination of the adult care agency, Community Living B.C. As CLBC’s budget rises past $710 mil-

lion, there are services from the health and children and families ministries going to disabled people as well. The political focus has been on CLBC’s closure of 65 group homes with only 200 residents, and its push for adult adoptions rather than institutions with shift workers. The NDP wants a moratorium on group home closures. On Friday Cadieux announced that a bonus program for CLBC management has been terminated. No targets or measures. As Premier Christy Clark was recently reminded on health care, even talk of defined cost control is too politically risky.

LETTERS W GLOBAL EVENTS

West is insulated from rest of the world To the editor: I read Wade Paterson’s article in the Capital News regarding his time spent teaching in Bahrain. (Cut Off from the World, Oct. 14.) I too think that the locals are insulated from what is going on in the world. They watch local, CBC, CNN and other news channels and obviously are not really paying much attention as it does not impact on their lives in any way.

Yes, maybe they send their charity dollars to some organization like Vision (and we who have travelled know that all those dollars do not land on the poor and disenfranchised people of the world.) Recently, I saw an interview on local TV about the big conference of world and Canadian newsmakers, old and new, being held in Vancouver (along with some interesting musicians whom I

think interested the young folk attending more than the keynote speakers). One young, so-called educated, persons attending was asked to comment on Mr. Gorbachov and perestroika and what importance that he might be in speaking to this group. This young person did not know who he was and of what importance he might be, but I bet she could tell you who the people are on Jersey Shores. So much for our American style

education system. I lived in Calgary for 40 years and during that time had the opportunity to travel to many countries and see some of the poorest people in the world. I also opened my home to students from many countries in the world, who came to visit or to study. Recently, I lost my oldest daughter to malaria which she contracted while living in Congo with her husband, a geol-

ogist. Through their living in many different countries over the past 25 years, I received some of the foreign students they met in my home. Some came to visit and some came to study, so I think I have a very good handle and can empathize with you on your let down feelings about what you saw in Bahrain. Ramona O’Brien, West Kelowna

Border to border senior moments horrifying thought ating on each other. Wow, I could not even fathom the thought of what this “town” would look like. Half of the seniors out there cannot even remember if they wiped their butt when they went to the bathroom last. The other half had a “non-senior” wipe their butt for them. Did you send your grandkids your letter before they printed it? How do you propose enforcing this “seniors town?” Maybe a toll booth where an-

Much more is lost when phone stolen To the editor: Lately, with our economy as it is, a family member had to give up their family dog as they just couldn’t afford the costs of having a pet. My girlfriend and I were out shopping at a couple local stores and she misplaced her phone in one of two stores. The problem isn’t the fact that she had to get a new phone—she had an old phone at home she switched to—but the fact that all of her pictures and videos of the dog were on the phone. As we all know, our phones, for some of us,

are our cameras. The other problem is that people find them and they must keep them or use them for paperweights. I don’t believe you can hook up a lost or stolen phone, so I wonder why people don’t just give them to the cashier or drop them at a major provider to find their way home? I guess the other lessons are: Don’t set your phone down and back up your pictures and videos from your phone. Just sad to see when someone gives and gives and loses out. Sean Fraser, Kelowna

Youth games not appropriate place for adults to get soused ed next to us downed five glasses each—approximately 60 ounces of beer. Does this amount of alcohol not put one over the .08 limit to drive, (although we do not know if they did)? Has our local RCMP ever considered setting up

Society needs to take a reality check. In regards to the article, I don’t see what is unsafe about exposing any child to a nursing mom. Instead of trying to cover up the situ-

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Chapman is coming to KELOWNA

ON THURSDAY & FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3 & 4 to outﬁt you with the best

possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST - NOW TRY THE BEST • NO UNDERWIRES • NO ELASTIC STRAPS • NO STRAPS FALLING OFF SHOULDERS • NO RIDING UP IN THE BACK

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

Hit and run accident leaves driver injured

West Kelowna RCMP are investigating a hit and run collision that occurred at the intersection of Bartley Road and Highway 97

last Saturday at 6 p.m. A grey Ford Fiesta coupe was traveling north on Bartley Road and crossing Highway 97, on the green light, when a southbound white pickup truck turned left in front of the car.

The collision resulted in major damage to the Fiesta, and the 27 year old female driver, from Vernon, was taken to Kelowna General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The white pickup

truck fled the scene immediately after the crash and has not yet been located. RCMP are requesting the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help in identifying the white pickup truck, that would have fresh damage to the front end and front passenger

corner. Anyone with information about this accident is asked to contact Cst. Kent Hall at the West Kelowna RCMP, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or visit www. crimestoppers.net.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d assumed heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get that, at the very least. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have built relationshipsâ&#x20AC;Świth these people and they threw that relationship out because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a millionaire,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Meet Rutland’s Community Policing Ofﬁce �� D�� G�� The RCMP Community Policing office is halfway into a trial period of offering expanded services here in Rutland. In June, the City of Kelowna and the RCMP detachment, led by Supt. Bill McKinnon decided to step up service at the Rutland office. As a result, Roger O’Reilly began working with the RCMP members and volunteers to expand the services offered at the Rutland CPO. The office’s goal to meet the needs of the community as a whole is working. Kevin McDougall, Community Policing Coordinator for the Rutland area is pleased. “Rutland is fortunate to have this [expanded] service. People are able to come in to the office, get their questions answered, and have access to any service that is available at the downtown detachment.” The Rutland RCMP office was established eighteen years ago. Over the years, the office expanded and now has over 40 volunteer staff, many of whom have been with the office since its opening in the mid-90s. This allows our volunteers and regular RCMP members a comfortable and

efficient work environment. “Our volunteers are very committed to making this community safer and do a great job,” says McDougall. In addition to the RCMP volunteers who volunteer at the RCPO, there are also other RCMP programs including Speed Watch and Citizens Patrol which meet the community’s needs. Speed Watch volunteers monitor traffic and flow and enhance awareness regarding speed. The Citizen Patrol act as ‘eyes and ears’ for the police and patrol the streets of Kelowna. Community policing shares the idea that the police and the community must work together to find solutions. Stop by and meet Kevin, Roger, the many volunteers and the serving members of Rutland’s RCMP office, a great group of dedicated people. “We’re very fortunate to be serving and helping people, that’s what it’s all about,” says Roger O’Reilly. The Rutland Community Policing office is located at 115 McIntosh Road, phone 250-765-6355.

THE AUTHORS of a children’s book, Lynn McCarthy and her daughter Shauna Paynter, at last Saturday’s annual Apple Fair in Kelowna. rosy apple and have varied opinions on who should get to eat it. The indecisiveness results in the boys losing the apple to a cow and, in turn, learning a lesson about sharing. In 2009, McCarthy and Paynter decided to put their dream of creating and writing children’s books into action. The tales would be based on unique stories told by Paynter’s great grandmother, Martha Brinkman. The result was the formation of Red Apple Publishing: McCarthy and Paynter’s own publishing company. Released on Sept. 30, 2011, APPLEstory is the only book that has been

produced by Red Apple Publishing; however, McCarthy explained that there are plans for more. “We have a second one on the horizon; the artwork is being done on that,” said McCarthy. The story will be about a greedy little boy who eventually learns a lesson and apologizes for his actions. According to McCarthy, Red Apple Publishing is also open to looking at submissions. “If people have a story, they can give it to us and we’ll take a look at it and see if maybe we can publish it for them.” The company also sells artwork by APPLEstory’s

illustrator, Sarah Burwash. “Sarah lives in Halifax. She specializes in retrolooking things. Our books are based back in the early 1900s because our stories come from Irish immigrants who didn’t have books, they just had a lot of oral stories,” said Paynter. Paynter, an on-call teacher, hopes to use her experience in the education field to help promote the book, including a series of lesson plans posted online that teachers can use as a resource. To request a copy of APPLEstory, email info@ red-apple-publishing.com or call 250-681-1100.

Happy Halloween

Kelowna took a bite out of the 23rd annual Apple Fair on Saturday at Laurel Packinghouse. Some tables allowed visitors to taste various versions of the fruit, others educated guests on the history of apples in the community. And one booth, run by a mother and daughter team, engaged the imagination through a children’s book called APPLEstory. Lynn McCarthy and her daughter, Shauna Paynter, wrote the book based on an old family story. “This has come down through the generations in my family,” said McCarthy. “I used to tell it to my kids and my grandmother told it to me. We decided we would put it into writing; children can learn a good lesson from it.” APPLEstory tells the tale of four boys: Peter, Tommy, Archie and Rob. The boys discover a bright

NEWS W HORN OF AFRICA

Okanagan College students rally in support of fundraiser Okanagan College students Sara Lane and Josh Verigin are helping raise funds for Partners in the Horn of Africa through a project in their Social Entrepreneurship Course. Partners in the Horn of Africa is an Enderbybased charity that works in Ethiopia, focusing on the areas of greatest need— infrastructure improvement, health and welfare and women’s anti-pover-

ty projects. In 2005, a small group of local women created A Great Big Run for Africa, a 100 km relay from West Kelowna to Enderby, to raise money for Partners’ micro-financing program. Over the last six years more than $120,000 has been raised with 100 per cent of donations going to the projects in Ethiopia. A Great Big Run for Africa has enabled thou-

sands of Ethiopian women to create better lives for themselves and their families through the creation of their own small business with training and a micro-financing loan. In addition to their involvement with a Great Big Run for Africa, founders are now working with business students from Okanagan College to create The Tiny Little Run for Africa.

The Tiny Little Run for Africa will consist of a mini-run around the Kelowna campus. Community members are encouraged to run the campus parameters and provide donations to support the Partners in the Horn of Africa. As little as a $70 loan will enable an Ethiopian woman to start her very own business. “As an educator by training, I am thrilled to

Jamie Charest’s friends consider him “jinxed” when it comes to cars. “I’ve had around 20 in the last 15 years, and they’ve broken down all over the province,” he explained Friday. “Basically, I go through one a year.” Inside the Safeway on Bernard Avenue that afternoon, however, he and a few friends had something to celebrate—his luck had taken a turn for the better. Charest was the winner of a 2012 Nissan Rogue, which came courtesy of the Safeway Touchdown to Win promotion, a nationwide contest that only required use of the Safeway Club Card. “Basically, during a game I wasn’t even watching, my name came up on a screen,” said Charest, explaining how he learned of the windfall, the Friday of a long weekend. “I knew people at Dave’s Sports bar, and one texted me I won a TV, another said my name was put in a draw for a car and another said I won a million dollars.” Exercising some restraint, Charest told his friends to calm down: He could have just won a bag of chips for all they knew. But they’d all have to wait until after the long weekend to find out how he’d won big. Now that he’s not encumbered by the pitfalls of driving a beater, he’ll be a lot more comfortable this winter when he hits the road travelling to various venues performing standup comedy—which, incidentally, may have been the karma-enhancing factor. Charest recently held a comedy event that was aimed at up-and-comers who hadn’t every performed. The winner of that comedy event was bequeathed Charest’s old-car du jour, a 1972 Dodge Valiant. “I loved that car, but it was rusted out,” he said. “Now he loves it, too.” Jamie has been a street performer, worked in theatre and does standup. He also spends his time painting and drawing. Those who would like to see if his good luck and goodwill will rub off on them can go check out Charest at the Creekside Theatre, where he’s doing his standup comedy act Nov. 4.

Injuries, mistakes keep Kelowna Rockets off balance Warren Henderson

STAFF REPORTER

YAN HUCKENDUBLER/PAHF

KELOWNA’S DANI HENNIG moves the ball up field in a game against No. 1 Argentina Friday at the Pan American Games in Mexico.

Kelowna trio helps Canada to semis Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With three ex-Kelowna Owls in the lineup, the Canadian women’s field hockey squad is a victory away from a medal at the Pan American Games in Mexico. Team Canada will take on the U.S. on Wednesday in semifinal action in Guadalajara, with the winner advancing to Friday’s gold medal game. KSS products Abigail Raye, Dani Hennig and Natalie Sourisseau started all three games for Canada which qualified for the playoffs with a 2-1 record in group play. “We’ve been working really hard the last couple of months and we seem to be peaking at the right time,” said Hennig, 20. “We feel like we’re a more dangerous team

than we were just a few months ago.” Canada defeated the Barbados 10-0 and Trinidad and Tobago 2-1 in pool play. Its only loss— and perhaps their most impressive performance to date—came against the powerful world champions and No. 1 ranked team from Argentina by a 7-3 score. “The score was not entirely indicative of the play,” said Hennig. “We were only down by one at the half and they were definitely concerned about us, so that was pretty cool to be challenging the world champs like that. We shutdown their top players for a lot of the game. It was definitely great for our confidence.” Argentina is a far more experienced side with an average of 125 international caps per player,

compared to 66 for Canada. Argentina is also three years older on average, 27 to 24. As for Wednesday’s opponents, Team Canada last saw the Americans in January on a tour to San Diego. The U.S. dominated in two games, while Canada was competitive in two others. However, Hennig insists Canada’s game has come a long way since the beginning of the year. “I don’t think we’re the same team we were then,” she said. “We’re pretty young so it’s taken some time to come together, but the girls have done a good job of that. “We’ve watched some tape on (Americans) so we know what to expect. We know we’re right there with them.” If Canada can beat the U.S., it would very likely

set up a rematch with the Argentines on Friday in the gold medal match. If the Canadians lose, they would play for bronze on Friday. On the subject of their first appearance at a Pan American Games, Hennig said all three Kelowna women are enjoying the experience. “It’s been great so far,” Hennig added. “For Nat (Sourisseau) and I, it’s our first multi-sport games, so it’s new to us. Abi (Raye) was at the Commonwealth Games the previous year, so she’s been to this level before. I just think all of us, our whole team, is in a really good headspace right now.” Heading into Wednesday’s semifinal, Raye has 66 caps with the senior women’s national team, Hennig has 30, and Sourrisseau, 17.

Just 12 games into the Western Hockey League campaign, the Kelowna Rockets are already in midseason form in at least one category—injuries. Due largely to the growing list of walking wounded, Rockets head coach Ryan Huska has been hard pressed to ice a full team on most nights. The WHL club was without six players during weekend action. Injured are Jesse Lees (4-6 weeks, upper-body), Jessey Astles (head, day-today), Kevin Smith (shoulder, week-to-week), and Carter Rigby (upper body, week-to-week). Filip Vasko sat out Sunday’s game in Vancouver due to a suspension for a boarding major the previous night against Victoria. Then there’s the continued absence of forward Brett Bulmer who remains with the NHL’s Minnesota Wild. Huska said the Rockets are trying to make the best of a difficult situation. “It’s a challenge when you’re down so many

7 p.m. Oct. 26 players, you end up having to overplay some of your older guys, like (Shane) McColgan, (Colton) Sissons, and (Spencer) Main,” said Huska. “At the same time, we’re asking some younger players to play more minutes than they might be ready for right now. “On the other hand, we have to look at this as good experience for our young guys who will learn from this and get better.” After a solid effort in a 6-3 win over Vancouver Thursday night, the Rockets (4-7-1-0) came up empty over the weekend—a 3-2 loss at home to Victoria Saturday, then a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Giants Sunday in Vancouver. Once again, Huska said the losses aren’t necessarily due to a lack of effort.

“I don’t think it’s thej try-factor, the guys are working hard,” said Huska. “We just have to get playing the right way. “I saw us as a tentative group Saturday against Victoria. On Sunday, it was a poor decision or poor play that cost us a couple of goals. We’re still making those mistakes.” As for Bulmer, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound forward has played in eight NHL games with the Wild and has recorded three assists. If he plays in two more games, the first year of his contract would kick in and the Rockets would be unlikely to see him again in 2011-12. Huska said the team has already made plans to move on without Bulmer. “For Brett, it’s great, we’re in the business of helping players move on,” said Huska. “We miss him, but we’re happy for him. We can’t worry or waste our energy on whether or not he’s coming back. We have to move forward.” The Rockets return to action Tuesday night when they host the Prince George Cougars (3-8-01). Face off at Prospera Place is 7 p.m.

Heat men earn playoff berth Fourth year UBCO men’s soccer player Sean Causier turned in what may have been his best collegiate performance in the biggest game of the Heat’s season on Sunday. That it was against his former team, in his former hometown and with his parents watching made it that much better. Trailing 3-0 in the second half against Capilano on Sunday, it ap-

peared that the UBCO men were going to go quietly out of a race for the final playoff spot in the PACWEST men’s soccer loop. Causier, though, had a different idea. The midfielder attacked his former club with a vengeance, scoring two quick goals to cut Capilano’s lead to 3-2. And when Mason Hampel scored in the 75th minute, the Heat earned a tie and the final playoff spot.

It was Causier, the former Capilano star who transferred to UBCO, who was the big hero. “I think if you score two (goals) on your old team, on your old field, in front of your Mom and Dad it feels good,” said Heat coach Dante Zanatta. “I think any time you play your old team you get a little more adrenalin See Heat Soccer A19

The UBC Okanagan Heat was unable to handle the balanced attack of the University of Calgary Dinos on Saturday in Canada West preseason men’s basketball action Saturday at the Kelowna campus gym. Calgary had six players in double figures, led by forward Josh Wolfram with 19 points and 11 rebounds in a 93-74 victory. The Heat where again led in scoring from guard Yassine Ghomari with 18 points, while freshman post player Julian Asselstine was very efficient scoring 16 points on 8-10 shooting in just 15 minutes of floor time.

fHEAT WOMEN Already with a playoff birth in the bag, the UBCO Heat women were able to rest key players rand still come away with a 2-0 victory over the Capilano Blues. The Heat’s 2011 regutlar season record finished up at eight wins, one loss, and two ties (8-1-2) and the Blues completed league play with a record of (3-4-3). The story of the game for the Heat was the brilliant play of back up freshman keeper Carley Wachtin (Victoria, BC). She played the full 90 minutes for the Heat and did not allow a goal. Wachtin’s only other action this season was 25 minutes tin a Heat home victory over the UNBC Timbertwolves in which she combined with Sabrina Gasparac (4th year, Langley, BC) to shutout the Timberwolves. “It was a great way to end the regular season, ” said a satisfied Heat coach Claire Paterson. “We are looking to build momentum going into playoffs. We also had the opportunity to give many of our first year athletes a good run today and they were more than capable of playing against a much improved Capilano side.” The scene will now shift to the Nonis Fields at UBCO as the women’s soccer team as well as the men come home to begin playoffs this week-

The boys showed a lot of character to fight back.” The Heat finished with a record of four wins, two losses, and five ties for the 2011 season, while the Capilano Blues finished just one point ahead of the Heat in the standings with a (5-3-3) record. With a tie tversus the Blues the Heat needed some help from the Vancouver Island Mariners (8-0-3), who obliged by defeating the Thompson Rivers WolfPack 2-0 on Sunday. With the loss the WolfPack (4-5-2) were eliminated from the PACWEST championship. The Heat twill await the PACWEST provincial championship draw to be posted on Monday to prepare for rtheir first round opponent kin the quarter-final action Friday. All games of the provincial championship will be held at the Nonis Sports Field on UBC’s Okanagan campus.

In a much closer game Friday, UBCO fell short against Calgary 63-59. The Heat held the Dinos to a paltry 3-for-20 from the three-point line on Friday night, but Saturday the Dinos were much more effective going 8-for-17 from beyond the arc. The Heat on the other hand did not improve their long range shooting from Friday night as they hit on 4-for-17 from three on Friday and 4-for-14 on Saturday. The lack of a consistent outside shot largely made up the difference in the margin of the loss for the Heat in the two game series.

“A good weekend for us in some ways,” said Heat coach Darren Semeniu. “We competed hard and felt like we belonged on the floor with these guys. It was great for a few of our young guys to see that.” The Dinos completed their preseason schedule with a 3-1 record, while the Heat fell to 2-6 with two more games upcoming this weekend. The Heat will host the Vancouver Island Mariners for two games, Saturday at 8 p.m. at Mount Boucherie Secondary, and Sunday at noon at the gymnasium on UBC’s Okanagan campus.

Playoff spot on line between Bears and Golds Heat ready for A 2011 playoff berth and sole possession of second spot are both on the line Friday at the Apple Bowl when the Mt. Boucherie Bears take on the Salmon Arm Golds in B.C. high school football action. Kick off is 4 p.m. With the Bears and Golds both at 2-2, the winner will secure the second of three postseason spots up for grabs in the Okanagan AAA Conference. Salmon Arm won the first meeting between the

teams, 27-18. Boucherie is coming off a 26-13 victory over the yet-winless Rutland Voodoos on Friday night. Peter Briker had a big game for the Bears, scoring a 45-yard touchdown on a fake punt, getting an interception on defense, and adding a pair of field goals. Jarrett Young added three sacks and three forced fumbles, with one of those fumbles being returned for a score by An-

thony Vermette. Quarterback Joe Court passed for 155 yards, while Josh Fender rushed for 89 yards. “Offensive yards were hard to come by this game, with Rutland stopping our offense from scoring from second and goal on their one-yard line,” said Bears coach Mike Godwin. “Our defense really stepped up and forced five turnovers.”

With a playoff spot wrapped up, the Kelowna Owls can now focus on trying to complete an unbeaten season in the Okanagan AAA Conference. KSS (4-0) will host the Rutland Voodoos Friday at the Apple Bowl in a 6:30 p.m. start. The Owls clinched a 2011 post-season berth with a convincing 27-15 win over the hometown Salmon Arm Golds last Friday night. I thought we played one of our best game of the year,” said Owls coach Roy Anderson. “We feel really good about the way things are progressing, we’re as healthy as we’ve been all year, the guys are playing well.” After the Golds scored first, the Owls defense responded with a sack and fumble recovery that Cody Lees returned 38 yards for a KSS touchdown to tie the game 7-7. “I think that really deflated (Salmon Arm),” said Anderson. Sam Davies passed for 103 yards and scored a touchdown. Nathan Brown, with 116 yards rushing, and Brooke Blackmore scored the other majors. On defense, Hudson Anderson had six tackles and a fumble recovery, Cole Mosychuk had six tackles and a sack, while Lees added four tackles and a sack to go with his T.D. As for Friday’s tilt with Rutland, Anderson doesn’t expect a walk in the park. “They’re a tough team, unlucky not to have won a

game yet,” Anderson said of the Voodoos. “We can’t take them lightly.”

OKM VS SOUTH KAM

The Okanagan Mission Huskies will host the South Kamloops in Okanagan AA Conference action Friday on the Mission artificial turf behind CNC. Kick off is 2:30 p.m. at OKM. The Huskies (3-2) are coming off a 32-13 loss at the hands of the Clarence Fulton Maroons last Friday at the Apple Bowl. OKM’s lineup was weakened by the absence of three starters due to injury. The Huskies also suffered from the turnover bug with six fumbles. OKM actually led 13-7 at the half but couldn’t carry the momentum into the third quarter. “Fatigue and attrition really hurt us in the second half,” said Huskies coach James Franssen. “Fulton is a well-coached and determined team, and they earned the victory.” On the upside for the Huskies, Trevor Swaisland was a standout on offence, catching six passes for 100 yards. Sam Kwasnycia was his typical standout self, particularly on special teams with a number of spectacular punt returns, while Andrew Barr and Sam Overton scored touchdowns. Fulton, Vernon and Kalamalka share first place with 4-1 records. Two Interior teams will make the playoffs. The Huskies finish up their regular season Nov. 5 at Vernon Secondary.

Canada West The UBC Okanagan Heat men’s volleyball squad did some final tuning up in advance of their official CIS debut this coming weekend in Kelowna. The Heat lost a tight, three-set match on Friday night in Kamloops to Thompson Rivers University (25-21, 30-28, 25-23). Nate Speijer and Riley McFarland delivered 11 kills apiece in the loss, while Preston Tucker had 12 digs, and Brett Uniat had six blocks.

Warriors win two, head west this weekend

The Westside Warriors closed out a six-game home stand in style with a pair of BCHL wins over the weekend at Royal LekPage Place. f Following up on a 5-2 win over the Coquitlam Express on Friday, the Warriors dominated on Saturday night for a 6-2 victory over the Prince George Spruce Kings. The Warriors’ top line of Connor Dempsey, Tyler Krause and Richard Vanderhoek led the offensive attack with five goals and 11 points on the knight. Drawing just as much praise for their defensive work was the line of Shawn Hocchausen, Reid Simmonds and Brett McKinnon who shut down

the Spruce Kings’ top line. “We certainly know who they are, there’s three guys in the top 10 in scoring and we wanted to get the Hochausen line out against them,” said Warriors head coach Rylan Ferster. “We were able, obviously being at home, to get the last change and it worked out well for us.” Only Paul De Jersey, second in league scoring, was able to beat Warriors netminder Steven Racine, his tally coming in the dying second of the first period to briefly tie the game at 2-2. Krause led the way with two goals and three assists, Vanderhoek had two goals and an assist while Dempsey chipped in with three assists. “They were good. When you have three guys like that eventually they’re going to score and get chances. Obviously Connor Dempsey is such an easy guy to play with because he works so See Warriors A22

AquaJets a strong presence at Sprint The KelownaAquaJets Swim Club swam their way to a third-place finish at the annual KISU Iron Sprint Oct. 14 and 15 in Penticton. The local team of swimmers aged six to 16 competed against nine teams from across the province in Penticton’s recently renovated pool. The Jets set a record number of swimmers at this meet, with a whopping 72 kids participating in the main meet and the Jamboree. “Having this many kids in our club excited about competition so early in the year, is a great sign for things to come,” said head coach Peter Wilkins. Starting his second year in the club, Wilkins sees an increase in registration as a promising start. Along side Wilkins this year, a new member to the staff, Cody Hitchcock, a former University swimmer from University of Regina has joined the team. “The kids swam hard this weekend, and came back to Kelowna ready to get back in the pool to get even better,” explains Hitchcock. “I am very happy to be in

NATURAL

FACTS

by Dr David Wikenheiser

LEPTINS AND WEIGHT GAIN Are you overweight and frustrated? Are you tired of being told “if you only tried harder you would lose weight”? The first thing to know about weight gain is that “it may not be your fault”! Fat is stored energy. Many overweight people get tired easily. These people have an excess storage of energy but they cannot access it and are tired. How could this happen? Simply put, fat cells that normally communicate with the brain by way of hormones are not communicating clearly. Overweight people need to be reset! The hormone leptin is produced by fat cells to communicate with the brain, and it determines how often and how much you eat. If that communication is not clear, if your brain is “insensitive” to the leptin hormone you run the risk of over or under loading stored energy in your fat cells. A typical healthy athlete will have blood level of leptin hormone in the 2 to 3 unit range, and they will use the energy from the foods they eat rather than store it. Some of the elderly have leptin hormone levels below 1 unit and this is seen as a factor in their inability to put on weight. People who are storing excess energy as fat and are resistant to leptin hormone will have blood levels far higher than the 2 to 3 units. There are three steps to resetting your sensitivity for leptin hormone. First, stop eating High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). HFCS is cheap to produce, easy to store, and tastes very sweet. HFCS is used in many processed foods and bottled drinks, so if you lead a spontaneous lifestyle it will be hard but necessary to avoid. Second, take nutritional supplements like Resveratrol that will optimize how you use energy in your body. And, the third step is to get an electrical evaluation of your leptin hormone imbalance. I am able to electrically measure specific ranges of leptin hormone sensitivity and then determine your specific treatment program. If you are overweight and frustrated I can help. Get a leptin hormone evaluation, a custom treatment plan, and get your life back.

Kelowna Chiefs drop 2 in junior B action The Kelowna Chiefs got their leading scorer from last season back into the lineup on the weekend. And despite a third star performance in his first game back, the return of Landon Andrusiak to the Chiefs didn’t help the team get into the win column. The Chiefs dropped a pair of KIJHL games on the weekend, losing 6-3 in Armstrong to the North Okanagan Knights on Friday, before a 7-4

loss to Osoyoos on Saturday in Kelowna. Andrusiak had a goal and an assist and was named third star in his first game back on Friday after being injured in the Westside Warriors training camp. The two losses dropped the Chiefs to 4-10-00 in the Okanagan Division heading into another two game weekend. Kelowna will play Friday in Chase and Sunday at home to Princeton.

The list of 50 players will be revealed at BCHL Celebration Weekend, Nov. 25/26, at each team’s arena. Fans can vote for the players they believe are the top three stars from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. There are 133 players listed in

total and the rankings are weighted. “Fans will be surprised at just how many names they’ll recognize from throughout our history,” said BCHL communications director Brent Mutis. “There are lots of players who had fantastic Junior A careers and others who went on to long NHL careers. A glance to our website of the Trophy Case section will reveal many of the names in the survey.” Players such as Brett Hull, Eric Shishido (the

only player to repeat as scoring champ), Duncan Keith, Andy Moog, high-scoring defenceman Campbell Blair, Kyle Turris or last season’s Interior Conference MVP Joey Laleggia are all up for voting. The poll is divided into five sections, one for each decade of the league’s existence.

It’s clear skies ahead as Canadian folk hero Valdy admires the scenery of B.C.’s northern lake district. Driving along with longtime friend, and touring partner, Gary Fjellgaard between gigs in Burns Lake and Prince George, the cell phone crackles to a stop while the boys park dutifully on the side of the road to chat. Valdy is, as usual, in a jovial mood as he speaks about his upcoming tour with Fjellgaard in the Okanagan. It’s The Contenders’ 11th annual sojourn through the valley to celebrate George Ryga Week in B.C., and Valdy wouldn’t miss it for the world, even for an induction into the Order of Canada. Yes, it’s true, the man who sang that venerable hit Play Me a Rock ‘n’ Roll Song is finally being recognized by his country. “They offered to do the ceremony in November, but I asked if it could be pushed to April because I was going to be doing this tour in the Okanagan, and I like to honour my commitments,” said Valdy. After 40-odd years

I’ve never heard anyone utter a bad word about Valdy.” A centre-piece of Canada’s honours system, the Order recognizes a lifetime of outstanding achievement and dedication to the community

and nation. To Valdy it’s a catalyst on what has been a long-standing career. “It’s lovely to be honoured by doing what I love to do in life,” he said. “But the Order is not just about being good about what you do, it’s about making life better for Canadians, and contributing to the value of Canadian life…How good is that? “So I think this is not only a catalyst, it’s like rocket propulsion.” As a folk singer, Valdy has not only conquered playing rock festivals, he has been able to vocalize about the same things that George Ryga did through his words as a writer, giving a voice to those often misaligned. It’s one of the reasons he and Fjellgaard have supported the centre in Ryga’s name, which serves as an artistic retreat in Summerland, with their

time, has been in Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto and Port Hope working on his upcoming release, Read Between the Lines, with its title track ode to the literacy project spearheaded by the late Peter Gzowski. Produced by Karl Roessingh, who is a Victoria-based jazz piano player, Valdy says the CD goes in 10 different areas including spiritual matters, political songs including one about fish farms, and historical missives such as one about Vancouver Island labour activist Albert “Ginger” Goodwin. Both men will also, as usual, perform many of the songs they have cowritten as The Contenders.

We’re all aiding and abetting political dissent, and continuing the legacy of what George was doing, representing the downtrodden.” The Contenders, as they are known through the two albums they have released under that moniker, Fjellgaard and Valdy also have some new material to take on the road with them. A B.C. and Canadian Country Hall of Famer himself, Fjellgaard has just released an album of old cowboy songs called The Collection. “I’ve often been asked when I’d do an acoustic CD, well, here it is,” said Fjellgaard. “We recorded it live in a church, just me and my guitar, with these lovely acoustics.” The album features favourite songs, some of which go back to Fjellgaard’s childhood, such as Streets of Laredo.

NEWS W PET CARE

Preparing your canines and felines for impact of winter J ‘‘ ust as your car may need a little special attention as cold weather approaches, so does your pet. Here are some tips on how to keep your pet safe and healthy during the cold season.

One of the most common reasons for rushing into vets offices in the winter time is antifreeze poisoning. The antifreeze we use in our vehicles is toxic to pets. Unfortunately, it has a

pleasant taste, so pets enjoy licking it. Antifreeze has a severe toxic effect on the kidneys which may be lethal. When you place antifreeze in your car, make sure your pet is not around. Make sure to clean any leaks on the ground thoroughly. Store the antifreeze container in a nonaccessible place for pets. A pet that ingested antifreeze will look like it has been drinking alcohol. The list of symptoms you may observe are staggering, confusion and disorientation. Excessive thirst and urination, vomiting and listlessness. If you suspect that your pet got exposed to antifreeze, take it to your vet right away. Just like us, our pets have different nutritional requirements when it is colder out. Keeping normal body temperature requires energy burning. Pets that are kept outdoors should be fed about 25 per cent more than

Dr. Moshe Oz their normal diet in the summer. Prepare proper shelter for your pet. Make sure it has a well insolated and protected area to sleep in. Pad the ground with blankets. Deeply bedded straw is another good insulator. Make sure the area is not exposed to drafts and stays dry at all times. Hypothermia occurs when a pet has been exposed to very cold temperatures and/or wind for an extended period of time. Symptoms of that include low body temperature, shivering, clumsiness and stumbling, drowsiness and exhaustion. Animals in this condition should be placed

immediately in a warm place. Cover your pet with warm blankets and contact your vet for further advice. Many people do not associate dehydration with the winter season, but in fact dehydration is very common in dogs that are kept outdoors. When the temperature drops the pets drinking water may freeze and therefore put the pet at risk of dehydration. Using a heated drinking bowl can prevent this problem from happening. Special heated bowls are available in variety of pets stores. Keep in mind that dogs that are kept mainly indoors may not get the opportunity to build up a proper winter coat. Using a pet’s sweater or jacket is very recommended, especially to owners of petite breeds of dogs such as Chihuahuas. It is very important to maintain the dog’s physical activity also in the winter time, so don’t avoid walking your dog

COLD-WEATHER PET CARE IS A MATTER OF COMPASSION AND COMMON SENSE

outside. Having said that, it is crucial to try to protect them from frost bite. Dogs’ ears, paws and tails are especially susceptible to frostbite. Initially, frostbitten tissue may appear pale or gray in colour. The area will be cold to the touch, and hard. As the area thaws, it may become red. In severe frostbite, within several days the tissue will start to appear black and slough. In order to prevent that, when you return home from your walk, dry up your dog, clean your dogs paws and remove all the snow remnants.

Dogs with fury paws are more prone to get frost bite from the snow that entraps between the toes. Cats are known to climb into car engines to stay warm. Before you start your car, bang on the hood and honk the horn to scare away the cat. The same as with humans, cold weather aggravates arthritis in pets. If your pet is having trouble getting up or laying down, navigating the stairs, or has started to snap or cry when picked up, it’s probably time to consult your veterinarian on some remedies for arthritis relieve. Cold-weather pet care is a matter of compassion and common sense. Use both in equal measure, and your pet will get through the winter safe and happy.

The one exception is the oak, which will hold on to its foliage until spring when the buds open forcing the leaves to finally drop. Other species such as the Hornbeam and beech have a similar habit. The colour show we are experiencing is not limited to the deciduous trees. The Pyracantha is displaying an abundance

And the burning bush, cranberries and beauty berry are equally as enjoyable. *** As winter approaches, it is time to think about some of the tender plant material you may wish to keep inside.

Strategies for Bubbles joins charity water effort new leaders W BUSINESS BRIEFS

The Bubbles car wash franchise in Kelowna has signed on to support a new movement to give away what it knows best—water. Bubbles Car Wash & Detail Centres in Edmonton and Calgary along with Kelowna are participating in this campaign, joining more than 100 other supportive car wash outlets across North America. The idea is to bring clean drinking water to one billion people worldwide in Guatemala, Kenya and India by Dec. 31. The initiative is simple—one cent from each car washed gives one day of water to one thirsty person. Instead of sending crates of drinking water from the U.S. or Canada, the Wash Away Thirst campaign has partnered with Wasrag, a Rotary group that builds wells and provides filters to harvest rainwater. Campaign founder Jim Dudley started with an idea based on a single question: “If all I had was a successful car wash business, is that what I wanted to be remembered for?” Now, he has rallied car washes all across the U.S. and us in Canada to make a significant impact worldwide, and Kelowna’s local Bubbles outlet has heeded the call. Visit www.washawaythirst.org for more information on you can donate or join this initiative.

None of the costs are covered by MSP or any other program at this time. Torie showed im-

y book club reWORK cently tackled LIFE an interesting book entitled The First 90 Days. The author is Michael Watkins and his book offers a framework for sucLaurie cess to organizations genMills erally, and individuals specifically who are in new leadership roles. I should mention that this book is very dense with information. It is impossible to cover anything more than a basic overview here. What I personally like about this book is that it offers a unique take on what a new leader can do to build their credibility and show their worth within a specific time frame—the first 90 days on the job. Watkins’ 90-day time frame includes a key concept which is the “break even point.” According to him, at around the 45-day point in the transition period, the organization’s investment in the new leader needs to start paying dividends as a sign that there will be longer term success. He is quick to point out that there are some specific things that need to be in alignment for this payoff to happen. While the organization has an important role to play in supporting new leaders, it is the individuals themselves who need to actively build their own momentum. According to Watkins, the very first thing new leaders need to do is invest time and energy in their own learning. That means getting familiar with their new environment—the people, culture, processes and systems that make it tick. Charging in and making changes without first understanding what currently exists is a recipe for disaster. One of the things that makes The First 90 Days interesting is Watkins’ STAR model, which is basically his guide for the type of leadership that is needed for a particular setting. In other words, the new leader needs to know if the situation is a Start-up, Turnaround, re-Alignment or is Sustaining Success, because each of those scenarios requires a different approach. The rest of book outlines numerous strategies and tactics that new leaders can use to improve their chances of succeeding, covering such themes as the importance of early wins, the need to align the culture, and improving systems or structures within the organization. Despite the fact that The First 90 Days was published eight years ago, the information in it still has value. Anyone in a new leadership who is keen to prove their value quickly will find it to be a great reference tool. Laurie Mills is a certified coach and human resource professional.

Now in its third generation of operators, Wentworth Music is still going strong, with two locations in Kelowna and Vernon. The team of Dale, Noel, Neil and Nori Wentworth and their nearly 40 employees all play integral roles in making things happen day to day. “We all got involved in this industry because of our love of music and we are very lucky to be able to have a business like ours in this wonderful community,” said Noel. Through Wentworth’s bi-annual rock productions, help from local sponsors and students they have helped raise over $52,000 for the Kelowna General Hospital’s children’s ward in the last four years alone. On Saturday, Oct. 29, Wentworth Music will host its second annual Spooktacular Halloween sale at both store locations in Kelowna and Vernon to help celebrate the anniversary.

retirement savings. Plan for the unexpected. Do you have a back up plan in the event of an emergency? Set aside some extra cash to cover an unexpected crisis in your life. The crisis may not involve you, but may involve a family member. What about a sudden job loss, or accident? Pay yourself first. When you earn more, save more. Set aside a portion of a bonus, tax refund, or inheritance to increase your retirement fund. Look for ways to earn extra income during your lifetime and in retirement. Start a small business, work some overtime, or work your way up the ladder within your company to a higher paying job. Continue to research options that may be available to you. Choose to work longer. Staying in the workforce means more years to save and fewer years of drawing on your retirement income. Many people in retirement are inter-

ested in working part time or may take the opportunity to start a new business venture. Know your own number. How much do you need for a comfortable retirement? Prepare a budget sheet or fact finding summary to help you find out your own number. Put all your income on one side of the sheet and all your expenses on the other side. If you have a shortfall in retirement income, are you setting aside a monthly amount to supplement the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security and other pension income? If you need help or have questions, talk to a financial expert. Keeping your retirement plans on track is a positive step to staying focused and committed to reaching your financial and lifestyle goals.

Major Announcement from Marshall’s Home Furnishings To our Past, Present and Future Customers, It gives me great pleasure to announce Marshall’s Home Furnishings has just signed a new lease at our current location in Banks Centre. It is hard to believe almost 5 years have passed since we opened our Broyhill Gallery! We are grateful for all the support we have had from our community. Today we not only carry Broyhill, which is synonymous with quality, but we also are exclusive dealers for manufacturers like Thomasville, Drexel Heritage, Lane, Lexington, Elite Leather, Stylus, Simmons and so many more well-known furniture brands. Along with the signing of our new lease has come a new vision of what we want our store to become in the future. We take pride in being able to serve the Interior with better quality home furnishings, while not losing sight of what is affordable for all people to purchase and enjoy. It is with anticipation that I announce we are going to have the BIGGEST sale in our company’s history. We will be undergoing a massive renovation to the store but before we undertake this project we must liquidate our complete lineup of home furnishings and home décor. Therefore, I have authorized the deepest discounts ever offered on our complete inventory.

Absolutely everything in the store and warehouse must be sold to allow us to move about safely during our renovations! So, if you haven’t been to visit us for a while, now is the time to come in, say hello, and take advantage of some great savings storewide. This sale is for a very limited time and as soon as everything is sold, our store will close for about three weeks so that we may facilitate the necessary renovations. All the staff at Marshall’s and myself welcome you to join us for this limited time event. Thank you for your support; we look forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely,

Marshall’s Home Furnishings - Kelowna P.S. Sorry about the mess! It won’t be pretty for a few weeks, but the savings will be worth it!

Protecting your privacy during the hiring process B .C.’s Personal Information Protection Act compels employers to protect the privacy of employees. The hiring process is one period when the employer’s collection, use, and disclosure of employees’ personal information is most prevalent. Fortunately, B.C.’s Privacy Commissioner has published a series of guidelines for employers to follow during the hiring process. This is a good thing for employers, because B.C.’s Act can be indecipherable. The guidelines first address the question of what to do with unsolicited resumes. The simplest solution is to dispose of them. The Privacy Commissioner recommends taking reasonable care when disposing of resumes, preferably shredding pa-

YOU WORK HERE

Robert Smithson per copies and deleting electronic copies. If employers keep unsolicited resumes on file, the personal protection requirements contained in the Act are triggered. The employer must protect the personal information contained in the resume. It would also have to respond to the individual’s enquiries about how his or her information has been used, stored, and disclosed. The guidelines then go on to address the issue of information requests by the employer during

the hiring process. In my experience, the question of, “What can I, and what can’t I, request from applicants?” is one many human resources staff find themselves asking. For the purposes of the Act, the employer may request any information that is reasonably relevant to the hiring process. The guidelines indicate that may include such information as qualifications, experience, knowledge, skills and abilities. The applicant’s consent for the employer’s collection of such information is implied. If the employer requires personal information for a purpose other than assessing suitability and establishing the employment relationship, it must tell the applicant he

or she is free to refuse to disclose the requested information. The applicant’s refusal should have no impact on the employer’s subsequent hiring decision. Generally speaking, regardless of whether consent has been given, the employer’s collection of personal information in the hiring process must be reasonable. That is to say, reasonable for the purpose of determining the applicant’s suitability for employment. Whether or not a request is reasonable will always depend on the context of the particular job vacancy. And, it is worth noting that there are other factors, such as the B.C. Human Rights Code, significantly influencing the propriety of requests for information at the time of hiring. The guidelines also provide direction relating to reference checks, stating that an applicant who has provided references has implicitly consented to your contacting those references.

Again, however, the implicit consent only allows the employer to collect information which is relevant to its job requirements. Similarly, by asking a person to provide a reference to the prospective employer, the applicant implicitly consents to that person’s disclosure of personal information. If the employer conducts a background check or contacts other former employers for references, it should first notify the applicant of its intentions. The employer should also direct the applicant to provide consent for others to disclose personal information. This can be done by having the applicant provide a written consent for such information to be disclosed to the prospective employer. The employer must, of course, ensure that information obtained from the applicant’s references remains confidential. Keep in mind, however, that individuals now have a statutory right to access their own personal information.

So, employers should assume that any references they collect will be accessible at some point by the applicant. The guidelines go on to explain that personal information gathered during the hiring process can only be used for purposes other than hiring if those purposes would have been obvious to a reasonable person and if the applicant voluntarily provided the information. Otherwise, the applicant should be told the other purpose and his or her consent obtained. This might occur, for instance, if the recipient of a resume were planning on sharing resumes with other prospective employers. Personal information collected during the hiring process must also be kept secure. This means taking precautions to ensure the information is not put to improper use by staff or other persons. The more sensitive the information, the greater the protection it requires. The employer must retain the information for

at least one year. Employers should educate themselves on when personal information should, and should not, be disclosed. They should ensure the information they are holding is accurate and complete. They must respond to requests by the individual for access to his or her information and for corrections of inaccuracies. Following these guidelines will ensure that the hiring process, as well as the employment relationship, gets off on the right foot. B.C.’s Privacy Commissioner has also recently published guidelines on conducting background checks by accessing social media sites, and I’ll summarize those next week.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young the world of self-employment. The freedom is intoxicating, that feeling of accomplishment is self-assuring, the sense of success is rewarding and working without a safety net is a real confidencebuilder. For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real adventure not to be missed. Remember, with selfemployment via the entrepreneurial way, you control your own destinyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and your income. Getting up in the morning and walking down the hall to your home office brings on a different kind of â&#x20AC;&#x153;rush.â&#x20AC;? Plus, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much traffic to deal with in your house as opposed to Highway 97 at 7 a.m. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not that bad. So take a good look at this option for your lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a choice facing a multitude of highly skilled experienced professionals and career workers across our Oka-

nagan region today. You never know when you might have to trade in your assigned parking spot at the office. Ultimately, we are all selfemployed, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we? So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look a little closer to this new horizon. The challenge of selfemployment can be overwhelming to a person who has always worked for someone else. The very idea of selfemployment sends ripples of fear and anxiety into the hearts of traditional workers. Traditional people, it seems, do not seriously think about stepping into the unfamiliar world of self-reliance. Simply put, most people are followers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wish to be independent. Society has spawned a compliant workforce that happily does its bidding. Why would you really even contemplate joining the ranks of the rising tide of entrepreneurial self-employed? Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working for someone else less risky and just plain and simple easier? Quite possibly so, but that is no consolation for some of us, in fact, in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world as we must step outside the box to find and experience a real

life experience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about freedom, people, as no one is truly free. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the challenge and satisfying an inner urge for living life to its fullest. In the end, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about finding your true self that you may, unknowingly, had hidden for an abundance of your life. Perhaps your approach to entrepreneurial pursuit may be personalized, but in the final analysis your product or service that you arrive at may already have been done over and over in the marketplace. But, there is one big difference between you and the others that have gone before you. That ingredient, that magic pill that spawns greatness and the dream machine outcome is you. You are the factor in the entrepreneurial spirit formula. The depth of your endeavour depends on your ability to perform. You must prepare to dedicate yourself for battle by making certain you can face the challenges ahead.

After delivering a carload of toys to the shelter last year, Elizabeth Soergel, of Aviva Studios ,couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to kick off her second annual Aviva Toy Drive. The event is one now until the end of November. All participants will receive a fall portrait session at a location of their choice and an 8x10 print for only $100 (regularly $260). In addition to that, $50 from each session will be donated to the Kelowna womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter to buy toys to help give the children they support a joyful Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love Christmas and the idea of being able to put a smile of the face of a child in our community,â&#x20AC;? said Soergel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way for us to get into the spirit of

f all the advice I was given when I left the company (otherwise known as my government career), I recall what a friend of mine in Saskatoon told me. He had launched his own entrepreneurial venture at the time, and he said to me: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Self-employment, Joel, is not for the faint-hearted.â&#x20AC;? It has become clear wherever my footsteps have taken me since that downsizing has become a sociological norm in many corners of our world. And, with the job market tight, and with many specialized positions at a premium, self-employment becomes a more attractive option. In my previous government/corporate life, I recall the mantra that we are all self-employed. It was a call-to-action on how we should treat our internal customers as if we were in business for ourselves. It was good training for operating your own company because whether you are employed or self-employed, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about getting and keeping customers and building solid, meaningful and long-term relationships with them. So, in your own enterprises, practice being selfemployed. It may shine a whole new light on how you relate to your customers/clients. In the world of the self-employed, the greatest reality is you only get paid when you work. I do miss my govrernment and corporate days when eight hours was a pay cheque even on those seemingly slow days when I caught myself â&#x20AC;&#x153;surfing the net for a time.â&#x20AC;? I still got paid. I got to eat lunch. I even got paid when I went to the nearby mall to find a birthday card for my wife during work hours. Contrast being employed by any organizational entity with being self-employed on the surface, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to take the risk, I like it where I am just fine, I like the benefits, I like the daily routine, the security, the bi-monthly pay cheque.â&#x20AC;? Guess what folks, I miss that too at times. Mostly, I miss the daily interaction with colleagues, friends and clients. But, there are rewards and trade-offs in

bald, except that it would do injustice to both authors. Rhenisch takes the deeply personal and weaves it into a magically dreaming and tactile challenge to live among the gods, God and the land,” said Claude Desmarais, Reichwald professor of Germanic Studies at UBC’s Okanagan campus. Desmarais recently heard Rhenisch read from his A Recipe for Perry at the inaugural Okanagan Pear Festival at the Bohemian Café earlier in October. Rhenisch is the author of 27 books of poetry, fiction, essays, translation and a memoir. He has won national and provincial awards for his literary nonfiction,

Harold Rhenisch man literature in the creation of the modern university, the modern state and even Disneyland and Scandia Golf and Games. Rhenisch is a longtime resident of the Okanagan, and is celebrated for his pioneering work of Okanagan literary nonfiction Out of the Interior. “We could say Harold Rhenisch is our W.G. Se-

journalism, poetry and drama, and works as an editor of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. His most recent books are Motherstone: B.C’s Volcanic Plateau, A Recipe for Perry (The Okanagan Institute), and a new book of poems, The Spoken World (Hagios). Rhenisch, a resident of Vernon, is the author of the blog Okanaganokanogan, which re-imagines the Okanagan as one country across Canada/ U.S. and settler/Aboriginal borders. Rhenisch’s speaking engagement is sponsored by the UBCO Reichwald Professorship in Germanic Studies, the Department of Critical Studies, and the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies.

SENIORS Group prevents identity theft

he Kelowna SENIORS’ Crime Prevention CONCERNS r Association is a registered non-profit charitable volunteer organization established in 2003 fto foster and support the Sharen concept of a safer community through public Marteny awareness and education, as well as supporting programs and initiatives of community based policing and crime prevention. The association embraces the notion that an informed, active and engaged community is a more crime resistant community, and strives to provide leadership, expertise, and funding to support initiatives that enhance the safety and well being of our community. One of the core functions of the KCPA is to work with the RCMP to address community safety and education by funding crucial equipment and supplies to volunteer-operated community policing programs. The RCMP operates several volunteer-driven safety initiatives in the Central Okanagan. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Colleen Cornock, RCMP community policing co-ordinator at 250-7645004. Some of those initiatives include Citizens’ Patrol, Speed Watch, Child Identification, Seniors’ Contact and tthe community policing offices r Citizens’ Patrol volunteers patrol designated areas observing, recording and reporting suspected criminal activity. The Speed Watch program monitors speeding using portable radar equipment and an electronic sign /for instant feedback to drivers. Child Identification is a program made available to parents/guardians who wish to have a way of uniquely identifying their young children. The Seniors’ Contact Program is for anyone who is living alone and does not have a regular caregiver, friend or relative checking in on them on a daily basis. The Kelowna Crime Prevention Association activetly pursues community partnerships, grants, and fundraising opportunities to secure the necessary financial means to fulfill its mandate in fostering safe homes, safe streets and safe communities. In November, the association will hold two fundraising events. The first is called the Identity Theft Prevention—Document Shredding on Saturday, Nov. 5, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Crown Packaging parking lot, 2092 Enterprise Way. This is to help you protect yourself from identity theft by professionally destroying your outdated bank statements, credit card statements, cancelled cheques and other documents with sensitive personal information. There will be professional shredding done immediately and on site by Okanagan Paper Shredding Inc., three banker boxes for a minimum donation of $5. The second event is the Smart Card Defender Sleeves sale Nov. 25 and 26 at the Capri Centre Food Court. These sleeves protect your personal information by providing a shielded barrier against portable scanners that can steal your personal identity from credit, debit and identification cards that have chips and magnetic strips. Three sleeves will be sold for $10. Sharen Marteny is a services consultant for seniors in Kelowna.

Cleave’ event held during half time of an Okanagan Sun football game earlier this month. The purpose behind this Canadian Cancer Society was to bring awareness to October being Women’s Health Month.

Helping seniors to live independent lives Can seniors live a fruitful abundant life in today’s modern society? That questions will be examined today at an education event hosted by Rexall Drugs, 171 Hollywood Rd in Rutland, 4 to 5 p.m. The guest speaker will be Jo-Ann Keith. The various challenges that seniors face on a day-to-day basis will be explored, and solutions on how to seniors can live rewarding and healthy lives. The information presented at the forum will be helpful to both individual seniors and families in transition with an elderly parent or a family member who has disabilities. “We all need a purpose in our lives, a reason

to get up in the morning,” said Keith, owner of Caring For You Support Services. “In order to live an abundant life a person needs to have something to look forward to such as community activity or relational activity. “Having balance in our lives is another way to live an abundant life, balance in our home, community and relationships. “It is most important, however, to be proactive about our health, eating a healthy diet and remaining socially and physically active will affect positive independence.” Keith is a human service worker who has assisted people with de-

WHYTE: (GEORGE) GORDON It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of (George) Gordon Whyte on October 19th, 2011 in his 94th year. In 1942, a handsome young man in the Armed Services met and married Doreen Charlotte Jacobs (predeceased) and in 1943 he became proud papa to his ﬁrstborn son, Peter (predeceased) soon to be followed by two more sons, Gordon and Mark Whyte. His sons blessed him with four granddaughters Pamela Young, Sue Whyte, Patricia Phillips and Katherine Bates in whom he delighted and his granddaughters further gave him three great-grandsons and seven great-granddaughters! Whenever he talked about them, his famous blue eyes literally “lit” up! Following his wartime service, he completed his technical training and worked for 43 years as a pressman/printer in the newspaper industry, receiving several commendations and awards for his exemplary work ethic. One of his life mottos was this “If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power forever and ever. “ Wheather working as a pressman, teaching his ﬂock, working in his garden, cleaning the restrooms in the church, or doing the housekeeping in his suite, he did it to perfection, knowing that this was his loving service to Jesus. We loved you and will miss you dad, grandpa, gramps and, as the little one named you, bampa. Well done, good and faithful servant. A celebration of his life will be held at the Whyte house in Kelowna, early in November. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com.

Dawn

Bortolotto

Passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm at her loving home on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 at the age of 45, with her husband, friend and neighbour by her side. Dawn was born in Kelowna, BC, raised in Richmond, BC and moved back to Kelowna in the early 1990s. Dawn was the middle child of Tom and Evelyn McManus, the beloved wife of Lorenzo, and mother to their precious daughters Selina, nine years old, and Maria, seven years old. Dawn will forever be remembered by her devoted sister Lynn, loving brother Tom, caring in-laws Cathy and Fabio, Ugo and Luisa, nieces and nephews; Trent, Talor, Georgia, Jake, Isabella, Matteo, Cristina along with countless other friends and family who were blessed to know her. Dawn touched the lives of many people with her smile and generosity, and always had an open door for friends and family; her laugh and zest for life was intoxicating. Dawn was an avid and enthusiastic equestrian immensely loved and respected in the horse community. She was excited to be a volunteer committee member for the BC Horse Council. She worked passionately on a brochure that aimed to merge drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and horseback riders to safely share our BC roads. Dawn loved being with her family, horses, her dogs Chief and Grubby, gardening, computer design, fishing, cooking, making people laugh, being involved in the South Kelowna community and having fun with friends. Dawn worked at the Kelowna Capital News for almost 20 years and always considered it her second home. Many clients, customers and employees at the Capital News will miss her sense of humour, quick wit, and diligent work ethic. Dawn believed in living life to its fullest and she did that every day. Dawn has been taken from us far too soon; we will honour her love for life and have a celebration in her honour. Friends and family are invited to a celebration of life in Dawn’s memory being held at her beloved home, 3859 Jean Road, on Saturday, October 29, 2011 in an open house format as Dawn would have wanted between 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Memorial speeches will start at approximately 2:00 pm. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made on behalf of the Bortolotto family at the Kelowna Capital News, 2495 Enterprise Way.

Proudly serving Westbank, Kelowna, Rutland, and Lake Country. www.valleyviewfuneralhome.com

GWEN ROBERTSON (nee Snowsell) Jan 21, 1922 – Oct 21, 2011

Gwen passed away very peacefully at the Kelowna General Hospital with her sons beside her. She was predeceased by her best friend and husband Lloyd in 2003 and her eldest son Bruce (Donna) in 2009. She will be dearly missed by sons Brent, Kelly (Donna), Dave (Marie) and grandchildren Jill, Jennifer, Jordan, Jackie, Shauna and Bryan. Gwen was born in Kelowna and grew up with her brothers and sisters (Bea, Frank, Ernie, Joy, Len and Mavis) on the Bankhead farm. She married Lloyd in 1941 shortly before he enlisted in the Canadian Army and spent the war years working in a munitions factory in Windsor, Ontario waiting for Dad to come home. Shortly after the war Dad joined the Canadian Air Force and the Robertson family spent time stationed in Calgary, Ralston, Cold Lake and Comox. Gwen’s enduring love for the Okanagan was rewarded in 1967 when the family moved back to Kelowna. Gwen’s greatest loves were family, friends and travel and she was blessed with lots of all of them. She was still making new friends right up to her final days and always had a new travel adventure on the horizon to look forward to. We will be eternally grateful for the many friends, neighbors and cousins who regularly checked in on her, spent time with her and were all such an important part of her life. We also want to express our sincere appreciation to the very caring staff at KGH who helped Mom to a graceful and dignified final journey. Those wishing to remember Gwen are invited to join the family at a reception to celebrate her life beside the lake she loved at the Delta Okanagan Grand at 3:00 pm, Saturday October 29th. If you are unable to join us we hope you’ll raise a glass in honour of a lovely woman and a life very well lived.

Her artistic talents, kind and caring words will always be remembered by those who were lucky enough to have passed by her in her lifetime and will always be missed. Susan is survived by her three loving sons Darrell, Robert and Travis Dickson also the father of her three boys Russell Dickson. Also survived by her parents and siblings, Steve and Rose Bugera, Gail (Graham), Les(Cathy), Tim, Allan(Cindy), Gerry(Sandy). Predeceased by her brother Laurence. Three great friends Joanna, Rita, and Merle who were with and cared for her until the end. There will be a celebration of life for Susie QQQ at a later date. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations can be made to the Kelowna S.P.C.A. A very special thank you to all her doctors, the Hospice and the Pallative Care Unit and a special thank you to Cindy at the Paragon Pharmacy for all your kind and caring words of comfort.

TAYLOR, NIGEL CUNNINGHAME Born in Kelowna, July 13, 1920, died in Kelowna Oct. 18, 2011. Nigel is survived by Margaret (Lee) Taylor, his loving wife of 68 years, and four children: David (Andrea), Stephanie Geis, Gordon (Joanne), and Barbara; daughter-in-law Janet, his sister Belinda Duyvewaardt, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by daughter Mary-Lou and sons Robin and Rodney. Born in a bunkhouse on Bankhead Orchards, Nigel was the son of early fruit growers Claude and Madge Taylor who had settled in Kelowna In 1912. With the exception of the war years and school, his whole life was spent in Kelowna. He was educated at Vernon Prep School (Mackieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) and Shawnigan Lake. At the age of 19, he enlisted in the British Columbia Dragoons at the outbreak of WWII and rose through the ranks to Major. He was severely wounded in Italy while serving with the 5th Canadian Armoured Division. After the war, Nigel remained active with the BCDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, serving as second-in-command of the Regiment. Before retiring from the militia, he was awarded the Canadian Forces Decoration, and was made honorary life member of the BCD Whizzbang Association. During the war, he met and married Margaret Leonora Besford of Surbiton, England. Nigel returned with Lee to the family orchard in South Kelowna where they raised their seven children. Nigel was very involved in the South-East Kelowna and greater Kelowna community. Among his contributions were peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warden of St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, member of the East Kelowna Boy Scouts Committee, trustee on the School Board, chair of the South and East Kelowna Centennial Committee, commissioner for the Memorial Arena, president of the Kelowna SPCA, and a charter member of the Kelowna Kiwanis Club. Nigel served on many tree fruit and agricultural organizations. He was a life member of the BC Fruit Growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association and served as President of the Canadian Horticulture Council. He loved to travel, and instilled in his children his love of nature and animals, of hunting and ďŹ shing. The family would like to thank Dr. Griswold and the staffs at Cottonwoods and Sutherland Hills for their kind care of Nigel. Should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may be made in his name to the bursary fund of the Whizzbang Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association of the British Columbia Dragoons. A private family service will be held.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen boo to you too! Food is part of almost all our celebrations, whether it’s the birthday cake on that special day, the turkey at Christmas and Thanksgiving, or chocolate hearts on Valentine’s day. For Halloween though, it’s all about fun food: about ghoulish food; and it’s all about make believe and dressing up as someone else. Youngsters will get lots of sweets at the end of October, so at home, make sure they get something wholesome that’s still fun food and fits in with the theme of the evening, before they go out and begin snacking on candy. Or, if you’re having some little ghouls over for the evening, feed them some fun food that’s nutritious before they get into dessert. You could create a face on top of your macaroni and cheese, or let them top their individual meatloaves with mashed potatoes, then red pepper mouths and green pepper or celery eyes or whatever they like. It doesn’t have to be complicated, but for a change, let them play with their food and make eating it fun. It might be surprising just what they’ll eat if it’s disguised. But, if you don’t want to wait until Halloween, you could just make regular-sized meatballs with this recipe and serve it all sprinkled with a little fresh parsley, with a salad on the side. Until the first frost, lots of us still have tomatoes ripening on the vine, so it's a perfect time of year to make up a big pot of tomato sauce, then freeze some of it in meal-sized containers for busy days. For more family-friendly, seasonal meal ideas, pick up a copy of my new book, Jude’s Kitchen, wherever books are sold. If you don’t see it, ask for it at your favourite store.

Halloween Eyeballs in Blood Sauce over Worms Hopefully, your kids will be suitably horrified at being stared at by these large eyeballs (meatballs) perched atop their bloody (tomato sauced) worms (spaghetti) on Halloween evening, but I’m sure they’ll enjoy digging in and destroying them too. This is a simple, classic Italian tomato sauce. Make up a big batch and freeze in serving sizes for quick meals when you’re busy. The recipe can be doubled easily.

EYEBALLS: 1/4 c. (60 ml) grated parmesan cheese 1 tsp. (5 ml) grated lemon peel 1 beaten egg 2 tbsp. (30 ml) finely chopped red pepper 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh parsley 1 tbsp. (15 ml) oregano

2 cloves garlic 1/4 c. (60 ml) oat bran 1 lb. (454 g) lean ground beef 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) allspice salt and pepper to taste cream cheese ripe black olives Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Grate parmesan cheese and lemon peel. Beat egg. Finely chop red pepper and mince herbs and garlic. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and knead thoroughly with both hands. (Remove your rings first). You could also beat it with a wooden spoon, but it becomes nice and fluffy when mixed by hand. Shape into large balls, two inches in

diameter, and lay out on a baking sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until brown. Decorate each ‘eyeball’ with a roundshaped slice of cream cheese or other white cheese and add a slice of ripe olive to each. Ewooooo. Eat while hot, over spaghetti noodles, smothered in tomato sauce. Serves 4-6.

TOMATO SAUCE 2 tbsp. (30 ml) olive oil 1 large onion 4 cloves garllc drizzle of oil 4 c. (1 l) tomatoes 6 oz. (200 ml) tomato paste

1 tbsp. (15 ml) oregano 1 tbsp. (15 ml) basil 1 tsp. (5 ml) brown sugar salt and pepper, to taste Finely chop onions and garlic. Heat oil in a heavy pot and add onions and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat until soft and transparent. Stir in coarsely-chopped fresh tomatoes with juice, (or substitute tinned ones) tomato paste, minced herbs, sugar, salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer this sauce for an hour or so before tasting for seasoning, then ladle it over spaghetti. This sauce freezes well. Serves 4-6.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt

*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh

*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
