▼ TAVARES ASSAULT
Civil Liberties questioning RCMP conduct Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
The B.C. Civil LIberties Association has filed a complaint against the Kelowna RCMP officers involved in the arrest of Buddy Tavares and has also initiated a complaint about the RCMP’s release of information to the media about the incident earlier this month. On Jan. 7, Buddy Tavares was arrested by Kelowna RCMP who were dealing with a call of shots fired at the Harvest Golf Club. During that arrest, Const. Geoff Mantler kicked the 51-year-old in the face as he was on his hands and knees and is currently suspended with pay as he faces criminal and internal investigations. Tavares, meanwhile, was charged with careless use of a firearm and spent the weekend following his arrest in custody. Police later said the charge was related to a “domestic violence situation” and now the BCCLA is asking to file a conduct complaint against Supt. Bill McKinnon, Const. Steve Holmes and any others involved in the release of that information. In a letter, BCCLA executive director David Eby notes that Tavares and his family claim the allegations are without merit and that Tavares does not face any domestic violence-related charges. “Given the potential impact on an individual’s reputation in his or her community, the RCMP should use extreme caution in releasing information to the media, especially if the information has not been investigated and verified as best as possible and there is little or no public interest in releasing the information,” wrote Eby. “This caution about public release of information is especially important when the RCMP considers releasing information about members of the public who have filed complaints about allegations of RCMP misconduct or who are at the centre of allegations of RCMP misconduct.” “Casting aspersions on any person complaining about RCMP members could easily be seen to be a form of retribution for filing a complaint, or as a form of character smearing engaged in to improve public perSee Conduct A12

City workers agree to four-year contract Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
A year after the last collective agreement expired, the City of Kelowna has reached a deal with
the majority of its workers. But it took the help of a mediator to settle the contract. The new four-year agreement, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2010, will run to
Dec. 31, 2013. The 615 full-time, parttime and casual members of CUPE 338 will receive a 1.25 per cent increase in for 2010 and the same this year, plus 1.5 per cent
more in both 2012 and 2013. “The city feels the agreement is fair to employees considering the current economic climate, length of the agreement and relative to other pub-
lic sector collective agreements,” said Paul Macklem, Kelowna’s general manager of corporate sustainability. See Agree A5

▼ NDP LEADERSHIP RACE
Dix feels Okanagan ridings winnable turf for the NDP Barry Gerding EDITOR
NDP leadership candidate Adrian Dix feels he learned some valuable lessons while serving as former B.C. premier Glen Clark’s chief of staff from 1996 to 1999. One is to not overpromise to the electorate what the goals of your government will be if elected. “You can’t try to do everything over the course of a four-year term,” Dix said, saying he would prefer to set achievable objectives and then make sure an NDP government, led by him, would make those commitments a reality. Dix was in Kelowna on Monday as part of a swing through the Okanagan, sewing up support for his party leadership campaign. A number of high-profile local NDP supporters and past electoral riding candidates turned out to express their support for Dix, who has been a frequent visitor to Okanagan ridings since he was elected. What has brought Dix to Kelowna frequently, he said, was the concerns about health and education issues that aren’t be-

ADRIAN DIX speaks to the local media on Monday about his decision to seek the leadership of the NDP as former local candidate Tish Lakes, one of many local party members supporting Dix, looks on. ing addressed by the current Liberal government or the three Central Okanagan MLAs. “They have taken (the Okanagan) for granted for far too long and I truly believe people want to see a change, they want to see a government in power that will listen to them,” said Dix, the NDP’s health
care critic. Dix said his leadership campaign is built around three principles: The need to restore adequate funding to both education and health care, and to see more consistent growth in the economy. On health care, Dix said the Liberals have maintained the acute care
aspect of health care, but post-acute care and preventative health have both suffered badly. With education, Dix said the Liberals have downloaded school program costs to individual school districts, then cut the funding to allow those programs to be funded. Dix said in an era
where many people work at four or five different careers during their working lifetime, post-secondary education access to new skills and retraining are essential. Dix also said the carbon tax, which former NDP leader Carole James first came out in support of and then opposed in
an embarrassing political flip-flop, would stay in place under his leadership. “I would not dismantle the carbon tax. It was created for a specific purpose, and not to be used to subsidize other tax breaks,” he said. Dix is a controversial figure in the NDP race, both for his history with Clark in which he backdated a memo to provide political cover for his boss from a police investigation. And he generated controversy last week by showing up at the party office to file his nomination papers coupled with boxes and bags of NDP membership forms, and separate boxes and bags of cash to pay for them. All of the local NDP members who showed up at Dix’s meeting expressed their support for him to the local media. Eileen Robinson, a past NDP candidate, said she supported Dix because she feels he’s a politician that people can believe in. “He has a vision for our province and he’s willing to listen,” said Robinson, a retired teacher. “We have a government now that doesn’t hear us. We bring up concerns about
what’s going on in our schools and it just falls on deaf ears.” Maria Tokarrchak, another past NDP candidate and a retired nurse, said health care is also a concern, particularly if Liberal leadership candidate Kevin Falcon wins. “I fear where our health care services are going, especially if Falcon wins as he will be pushing for more privatized services. “He will do that as much as he can get away with it under the Canada Health Act.” Other NDP party members expressed their support for Dix, pointing to their concerns about the health care system as retirees. Tisha Kalmanovitch, another former NDP candidate, said she appreciated the level of intelligence that Dix would bring to government. “I question the level of grey matter with many of our current politicians, but not so with Adrian,” said Kalmanovitch. Dix is up against fellow MLAs Mike Farnworth, John Horgan and Harry Lali along with Nicholas Simons and Dana Larson. The party’s leadership convention will be April 17.
▼ COURT
Bail hearing delayed for duo arrested in Sunset Drive drug bust Two men arrested after police searched a Sunset Drive condo last week will have to wait until next month to find out if they will be released on bail.
Police say Coda Dayne Zeleniski, 24, and Zachary James Grogan, 26, were arrested Thursday evening after officers executed a drug search
warrant on their home in the 1100-block of Sunset Drive. RCMP allege that they found half an ounce of powdered cocaine, $1,700 cash, 288 grams of
marijuana, a small amount of methamphetamine and ecstasy, and drug trafficking paraphernalia. Zeleniski is charged with one count of pos-
session for the purpose of trafficking, and police say he was also arrested on two outstanding warrants for drug trafficking offences. Meanwhile, Gro-
gan is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. Both men were in
court on Tuesday, where bail hearings were scheduled. Zeleniski is set to seek his release on Feb. 7 while Grogan’s next appears in court is Feb. 3.
Snelson abandons intent to seek new court venue for his trial Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
The man accused of killing Jennifer Cusworth more than 17 years ago isn’t asking for his trial to be moved
out of Kelowna after all. A change of venue application was scheduled to be heard this week in the Kelowna Law Courts, but on Monday his lawyer, Wade Jenson, instead went ahead with scheduling the
trial for right here in the Okanagan. Neil George Snelson, then 43, was arrested and charged with murder in the fall of 2009, not long after the 16th anniversary of Cusworth’s death. The body of the 19-year-old col-
lege student, originally from Nelson, was found in a ditch on Swamp Road on Oct. 17, 1993, a day after she was last seen alive at a large party held at a house on Richter Street. In the years that followed her
death, her parents regularly travelled to Kelowna to plead publicly for information about who may have taken her life. Snelson’s jury trial is scheduled to last six weeks and is set to get underway in Kelowna on Aug. 29.

Border drug bust suspect from West Kelowna is out on bail Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A West Kelowna man arrested in October in connection to an alleged attempt to import cocaine into Canada in a fruit grinding machine, has been granted bail. Barry Michael Ready, 50, was arrested at a ranch outside Merritt last year after border officials found 97.5 kilograms of cocaine inside a fruit grinder, from Argentina, that was destined for Kelowna. RCMP made a controlled delivery of the machine to Kelowna and later arrested Ready and a fellow West Kelowna man, Clifford Montgomery, 33. They were charged with two counts of conspiracy to import cocaine and possession for the purpose of trafficking. Two other men were arrested in the United States shortly after police held a press conference announcing
the drug seizure. After the arrests, Ready was also charged with importation of cocaine and possession for the purpose of trafficking in relation to an alleged incident earlier last year. On Tuesday, Ready’s lawyer sought his release on bail on both sets of charges and Judge Ellen Burdett agreed to the request. Her reasons for granting bail, as well as some of the evidence presented at the hearing, is subject to a publication ban. To be granted release, Ready must come up with an $85,000 surety. Upon release, he will be subject to 24 hour house arrest with electronic monitoring, and can only leave to go to and from work, to visit the doctor or hospital for an immediate medical emergency and with written permission to do food shopping. He is not to have contact with his co-accused and a number of oth-
er people. He cannot drink, consume illegal drugs or go to a bar or liquor store and he’s also barred from possessing weapons. He may not have a cell phone, pager or Blackberry, unless it is for work and he has the written permission of his bail supervisor, cannot leave the province without permission and has been ordered to turn in his passport. As well, he must report weekly to his bail supervisor while waiting for these charges to be dealt with. Ready is scheduled to return to court Feb. 10, when Tariq Aslam and Clifford Montgomery, his coaccused on the second set of charges, are scheduled to appear next. The fourth man arrested back in October, Victor Perez Rodriguez, is still in the United States and his extradition has been sought. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

…CUPE BELIEVES THE AGREEMENT REFLECTS FAIRNESS FOR THE WORKERS… Brent Soroka, CUPE local 338 president
Union members ratified the new collective agreement on Sunday and city council approved the deal during its closed door meeting Monday morning, said Mayor Sharon Shepherd. She said she was happy to see the deal done because it will give the city three years of labour certainty. “Although negotiations were a struggle, CUPE believes the agreement reflects fairness for the workers who provide a variety of core services that the citizens of Kelowna rely on,” said CUPE Local 338 president Brent Soroka. According to Macklem, the main sticking point was money. After a year of onagain, off-again negotiations, both sides agreed to call in a mediator and after just two days of mediation, the deal was done. While most of the city’s employees are members of CUPE local 338, Kelowna also has separate collective agreements with the union representing its firefighters, and a separate CUPE local representing its airport workers, the union representing its electricians and the association representing its management staff. Negotiations with its firefighters are set to start Feb. 1. That contract expired March 31, 2010. Negotiations with the airport workers is also slated to start soon, said Macklem.

Only the student work is juried before the event and there are 125 pieces included, though only 100 tickets sold; the organizers do not want anyone to feel stuck with the last piece, they said. A quick review of some of the pieces up for auction reveals they likely have nothing to worry about as there will be a huge range of talent on display. Vogel has included a print of her notebook with doodles and thoughts all written onto the edge of a page, for example. Dowhaniuk, meanwhile, has included some unique pieces which look like fashion sketches.

fore a random draw is held to determine who will get to pick a piece. One can only pick a piece once one’s number is drawn, making the selection process tricky. “We were very lucky this year. Almost a third of the art was donated by professional artists,” said Nicole Dowhaniuk, who is co-organizing the event with Lacia Vogel. For the young artists who are still attending school, the added selection from professional artists is a boost on two fronts.

Postill Lake gravel pit application runs into roadblock Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
After 10 years of reclamation work on a gravel pit near UBC Okanagan, a local company is looking at a new site in the Postill Lake area. Despite an elaborate application, the pit did not gain support from the Regional District of Central Okanagan as they wait for the regional aggregate study to be completed. CORD planner Ron Fralick said the application before the province is for the development of a sand and gravel quarry on approximately five hectares of Crown land. The site lies above Kelowna Creek, known as Mill Creek where it travels through the city. “Visual impacts from this relatively small gravel pit should be minimal due to the remote location and elevation,” Fralick said. With a five-year lifespan, the pit would produce an estimated 120,000 cubic metres of sand and gravel per year. He noted the majority of issues raised centre on protection of the watershed. The creek lies in a deep canyon to the south of the site, on the opposite side of the road. Fralick said another issue involves potential safety problems as well as upkeep and maintenance of the forest road. He added the B.C. Ministry of Transportation is reviewing the level of road maintenance and the need for signs related to the gravel pit. Andy Miller, of GlenAm Sand and Gravel, said the company currently runs a gravel pit on UBC Okanagan property. That operation is set to expire at

the end of April. Miller said the work on UBC land was started 10 years ago to reclaim the pit, which was abandoned in 1995 without reclamation measures. He noted the company works under guidelines and has had strong recommendations on its practices. “We like to think we run a good clean operation.” Miller noted the B.C. Ministry of Forests has done a major road upgrade on the Postill Lake road from kilometre two to km four. The entrance to the proposed pit is around km eight. He said the road is quite wide at the driveway
entrance. Existing drainage installed in the road near the driveway drains into the forest. Miller noted the natural slope of the entire area runs to the northwest, away from the road. The plan for the pit includes an animal corridor that would be preserved for moose and deer to travel through. “We’ve gone to great lengths for there to be as little environmental impact as possible,” Miller said. Hauling from the site would be restricted to five days per week. Miller’s company supplies to general contractors, landscapers and homeowners, as well as crushed gravel to smaller paving companies. He said the site was logged about 30 years ago, and is now covered with thick pine growth and deadfall. The company dug down about five metres and found moist gravel, but no sign of flowing water. Dust control at the pit would be done with water,

and he noted irrigation details are still under discussion. Much of the processing would be done at an existing gravel pit. The company would be looking at five truck trips per day on a steady basis, five days a week. Frequency of trips would depend on road conditions, and Miller added they do not intend to work through the winter. Once the pit is developed in a year, and depending on the market, he said they may progress to 10 hauling trips a day. Miller said the company intends to possibly expand the pit another five hectares eventually, and may try another application in about three years time. Board chairman Robert Hobson said that in this case, the move not to support the pit was not about the specific application, but that CORD wants the aggregate plan to be completed first.

Eight chefs ready to stir the pot Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The Kelowna Gospel Mission’s Stone Soup Chef event is back for a second year. The competition pits some of the Okanagan’s leading chefs against each
other in a bid to make the most tasty soup from whatever ingredients are on hand, in the Mission’s kitchen on that day. It will feature eight chefs including newcomers Stuart Klassen of the Delta Grand Okanagan Hotel, Ross Derrick of the

They will join returning contestants James Hanna of Raudz, Jesse Croy of Summerhill Pyramid Winery, Edan Fay of Lake Okanagan Resort, Michael Lyon of the Edorado Hotel and defending champion Paul Cecconi of Local Lounge and Grille in Summerland. Event producer Erin O’Reilly said this year’s competition will follow the same format as last year, the only difference being that any donated ingredients for use by one chef must be donated to all the other chefs as well. Four preliminary cook-offs will take place between Feb. 21 and Feb. 28, with the semi-finals March 3 and 7. The final takes place during a gala event at the Delta Grand on March 12. Tickets for the final gala sold out in just two days when they went on sale recently. Last year’s inaugu-
ral Stone Soup Chef contest, deemed a smashing success by organizers, prompted the second annual competition to take place right after the Canadian Culinary Championships, which take place in Kelowna in mid February. According to organizers, the timing was deliberate and they hope to have some of the country’s top chefs on hand to act as celebrity judges as well. “(Last year) was a blast,” said O’Reilly. That was mostly because it was not just a competition. Sure, there are bragging rights (for the winning chef) but it is also for a good cause.” While the gala raises money for the Mission, the aim of the chefs’ work is to show how you can make tasty, nutritious soups by just using the basic ingredients that one has in a kitchen. For Derrick, who could not participate last year but jumped at the chance to get involved this time around, the good-

The soups that the chefs create in the preliminary and semi-final rounds will be served to the Mission’s clients and O’Reilly said the clients
have shown they have no problem passing judgment on the quality of the fare they are served. “They will tell you exactly what they think,” she told Derrick. In addition to the Mis-
sion’s clients, the soups will be judged by local celebrity judges and, at the final, the six chefs who were eliminated in the earlier rounds of the competition. awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Documentary looks at mine exploitation Amnesty International’s Kelowna group will present the documentary All That Glitters Isn’t Gold: A Story of Exploitation and Resistance, on Friday, Jan. 28, 7:30 p.m., at the Okanagan College campus theatre. This documentary tells the stories of community members living near Canadian-based Goldcorp’s San Martin open-pit gold mine in the Siria Valley of Honduras.
They discuss the negative effects of the minefrom health problems to lack of clean water. This mine was opened in 2000, the first to be developed under Honduras’ controversial new mining law. Proceeds from the film will be used to support those in Central America affected by the negative effects of the mining. For more information, call 250-769-4740.

Are your employees a liability? Business expo offers career opportunities A recent family vacation in Hawaii gave me a reason to think about liability waivers. What I thought was that, no matter how good your company’s liability waiver might be, your employees may be undermining its value. Landing in Hawaii, we shuttled over to one of the car rental agencies to pick up our vehicle. Inside, a friendly employee directed us over to one of the self-serve computer kiosks and proceeded to help us obtain our vehicle (one has to wonder what the point is of installing self-serve kiosks if you still have to pay an employee to assist the customers using them). This friendly lady clicked rapidly through the various touch-sensitive screens and, seconds later, the registration process was completed. The screens went by so quickly that we barely had a chance to see what they contained. One, however, caught my eye in the nanosecond it was on display. It was the company’s Liability Waiver. As it flashed past, my spouse and I gave each other a “Did you notice that?” sort of glance. Moments later, we set off in our shiny, clean vehicle to explore the sights of Maui and never gave the waiver anoth-
YOU WORK HERE
Robert Smithson er thought. I’ve previously called the liability waiver the Rodney Dangerfield of legal documents. People rarely seem to read the documents they sign before engaging in a dangerous activity (like driving a rental car!) and they often outright scoff at the enforceability of the waiver’s contents. I have heard more than one person say, “I didn’t read it, so it can’t be held against me.” Like most generalities spouted about the workings of the law, this one is inaccurate most of the time. The legal reality is there is a legal rule that parties may be bound by such a document, even if they haven’t read it. There are, however, exceptions to this rule and companies which have customers routinely sign a liability waiver would be well-advised to understand their nuances. The B.C. Supreme Court has ruled in the past that a party signing a document without reading it is bound by its terms, but there is a “reasonable no-
tice” exception to that rule. The exception is applicable only in certain special circumstances, including inducement to sign the document by fraud or misrepresentation and when the party relying on the waiver knew (or had reason to know) the signing party misunderstood the waiver’s terms. The title of the document must sufficiently convey the scope of the waiver sought by the company. It should alert the reader that he or she is signing a potentially wide-ranging document absolving the company of responsibility for injuries suffered through the use of its services or products. The waiver’s text should not be ambiguous. Any ambiguity will tend to be construed against the company seeking the waiver’s protection. Relying on a poorly worded, poorly titled, and poorly communicated waiver of liability is a
fool’s endeavour. If your business seeks the protection of a liability waiver, it might start by obtaining clear language of the extent of the waiver, using a title which conveys the significance of the content, and taking active steps to ensure it is brought to the customer’s attention. In the case of the car rental agency, it may have executed the first two of those requirements quite well (who knows, since I never saw it). But its employee’s failure on the third requirement virtually guaranteed the waiver would fail if the rental agency ever sought to rely upon it.

RCMP under the gun
F
ormer solicitor general and MLA Kash Heed deserves credit for drawing attention to the current negotiations between the provincial government and the RCMP for a new 20-year contract. Heed’s allegations that a police probe into his own conduct as MLA is an attempt at character assassination come at a crucial time in the RCMP’s history. Heed has been calling for more accountability for the RCMP and for that he may have made a few enemies on
the force. But it’s unlikely that the releasing of information in a warrant and charges related to alleged misuse of MLA funds to pay salaries of political operatives was merely an attempt to make Heed look bad and win public favour. As a career police officer, Heed has experience to back up his assertions that the RCMP needs to do a better job policing itself. But his voice is just one among many calling for greater accountability after the handling of the missing women’s case,

which a recent report suggested was mishandled by Mounties (and Vancouver Police); the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski; and recent stories of rogue police officers misusing their power. In light of these stories, it would be a surprise if the new contract failed to reflect the need to restore public confidence. But these negotiations are being held behind closed doors and the public has no idea whether changes are being contemplated.The plain truth of
the matter is the RCMP needs to win back the public trust before arguing it does a better job than would a B.C. regional police force. But it has many hurdles to clear. For one, the national police force appears to be at arm’s length from the communities it serves. Still, the RCMP has great experience and resources to offer. As for Heed, he should continue to ask for more police accountability but remain silent when it comes to his own affairs.

hammer home the point once again that, as boring as they may appear to the uninitiated, municipal council meetings are important. They are as grassroots as you can get in today’s world of personality politics. They are where the public’s business is done, in public. In most cities and towns across B.C. what happens in these near-empty chambers is of vital importance to the well being of that community. The decisions made by mayors and councillors keep the roads repaired, the sewers flowing and provide some sense of orderly development. Councils, especially those where party politics are not practiced, may lack the political intrigue of their pro-
vincial and federal cousins but their importance should not be overlooked. Your municipal politicians not only have the local buck stop with them, they are the most accessible political leaders in this country. When was the last time you called your local MP or MLA at home? When was the last time you were allowed to directly address the provincial or federal government in the B.C. Legislature or the House of Commons? And when was the last time a street light was fixed because you brought it to the attention of your federal or provincially elected representative? None of this is meant to denigrate the job that MPs and MLAs do. They just operate in a different politi-
cal sphere. What they do is important. But so is the work, and the decisions, made by municipal elected officials. Mayors and councillors matter. You might not like the individuals or the decisions they make. But the fact they are there to make those decisions does make a difference. I learned a lot about that covering council here for 10 years. And yes, more often than not council meetings had a stronger soporific effect on me than a big turkey dinner. But remember, that development approval council gives is important. After all, it could be for the property next door to yours.

▼ CEDAR AVENUE PARK
‘City’s open spaces are under assault’ To the editor: At its Tuesday, Jan. 18, meeting, the City of Kelowna Advisory Planning Commission expressed reservations about approving a rezoning application that would establish the first part of a Cedar Avenue waterfront linear park. The proposed park proposes, as one of its major themes, the restoration of lakefront to its natural state. The majority of members of the committee and the majority of the public speakers were concerned that the proposed park should have a more traditional style, with emphasis on beach, grass, open space and trees. There was a feeling that sometimes the city needed to make grand gestures to establish parkland and that this area required a grand gesture from city council. Someone pointed out that the purchase of the downtown city park in the 1920s had been a grand gesture back then and was
an example of the importance of foresight when establishing parks. The idea of a traditional park in the South Pandosy area does, of course, have its attractions, but city staff have pointed out the high coliform content in the lake in this area would make it an unpopular swimming beach. If it were to become a swimming beach, I suspect that the space needed for a parking lot, public toilets and change room facilities would use up over half the extra parkland that those favouring a traditional park want to see added to the current rezoning proposal. My problem with the idea of expanding the Cedar Avenue linear park proposal into a bigger park is that the city’s open spaces are under assault on all fronts, not just along the lakeshore. Within the city and even outside the city through its participation in our regional parks program, the city has to make crucial decisions
every year to help save vanishing spaces. Of particular concern to me is the steady loss of natural grassland and natural ponderosa pine forest. The public needs to be aware that the current provincial government policy is to sell parcels of Crown land throughout the Central Okanagan to private interests and to commercial development. The city has in the past played an active role in protecting habitat and open spaces within its own boundaries and, as a partner in the regional parks program, it has also played a very active role in protecting habitat and open space in the entire Central Okanagan and I can only hope this policy will continue in the future. When we worry too exclusively about the importance of one park, we draw attention away from the need to put scarce resources into promoting the acquisition of other parks that are equally important.
Reason for few lefts To the editor: In response to Wayne Harris’ letter to the editor Jan. 23 regarding left turn lights on Highway 97 through Kelowna. The reason there is only a few advance left turn signals along Highway 97 is this highway is the main north to south highway in the Okanagan with east/west connections. It stretches from
Weed, California to Watson Lake in the Yukon, then becomes Highway #1 to Homer, Alaska. A large amount of the traffic is passing right through Kelowna bound for points north, south, east and west. Just imagine the amount of freight and produce that is transported up from California and Mexico headed north and east. Local traffic does have
access to parallel routes, ie.: Enterprise and Springfield Roads. The point is we can use alternate routes to reach our destination, rather than make that dangerous left turn off Highway 97. Be patient and let the offenders get their picture taken and fork over $167. Rick Brown, Kelowna
I attended the Jan. 18 meeting and made the case for the linear park. The kind of park that I think the city deserves at the bottom of Cedar Avenue is not a traditional park, nor does it require that all of the city owned land be converted to park. At least some of this land can be used for other purposes. I think the prime issue here is the proper protection of natural habitat along the lakeshore and up Fascieux Creek. This needs a long-term strategy and requires, along with the development of a linear park for public use, the setting aside of protected lakeshore and creek land. In the immediate future, it requires the redevelopment for park use of a portion of the land the city already owns and the restoration of lakefront to its natural state. Later, it will require the purchase of key plots of land nearby and subsequent restoration activities to help make Fascieux Creek a more natural area
able to better support traditional plants and wildlife. My fear is that creating adjacent to Fascieux Creek a larger park that emphasizes traditional park values will use up city land assets that the city could sell off. Some of the proceeds, as city staff suggested at the meeting, could be used in the second phase of the proposed Cedar Avenue linear park, a portion of the proposed park that emphasizes both stream and lakeshore habitat. The money could be put toward land acquisition and restoration efforts that are necessary to get riparian areas back to a natural state. That would show true foresight. In short, I feel the complexities of the issue, especially the environmental ones, did not receive enough attention at the meeting and I urge those in the public who feel as I do to step up and take an active part in the debate.
The city staff presentation was slick and professional with lots of artistic depictions of what the linear park would look like, but little in the way of precise measurements. When asked where the high water line was the staff member drew a line on the artist sketch and said, “about there,” well into the area depicted as park. I don’t think any of these things influenced the advisory board’s decision to reject the rezoning proposal. The city staff had indicated they would limit the height of the commercial building to four storeys. The board pointed out that if the zoning permit-
ted a six-storey building the developer would build six-storeys, which in this case would become seven storeys because of parking. The city staff also pointed out that the developer would do and pay for the linear park in front of their building. This would be a little more than a well landscaped walkway in front of their building. In her column Kathy Michaels describes her generation as deserving to be called “Generation Screwed” (Jan. 21 Capital News), if they accept this kind of concept as a park for the sake of having a cup of coffee on the lake. I think we want what

Add diagonal foot traffic crossings To the editor: I totally agree with Wayne Harris’ letter in the Sunday edition. He has made excellent points regarding more left turn lights needed along Harvey. One other thing that I would like to see is the
pedestrian signals to go four ways at once, so that all pedestrians cross at the same time, including diagonally. This allows free flowing traffic and works very well in cities I have lived. Judith Grue, Kelowna
Cedar Park: City ignores advisory board’s decision To the editor: My wife and I recently attended a meeting of the advisory board dealing with zoning for a linear park on Cedar Avenue and the lake. Although I might be dead before anything happens, it was a concept I could buy into, and I must say I was delighted when the advisory board rejected the proposed zoning change. The next day, I read that the city is going to ignore the rejection by their advisory board and move ahead with the zoning change, the reason being that the change was in keeping the OCP and their vision of the future development in that area.

Wendy’s DreamLift Day called fundraiser with a big heart Barry Gerding EDITOR
The annual Wendy’s DreamLift Day fundraiser is a unique success because the people behind it are doing it “for all the right reasons,” said the executive director of the Orange Country Sherriff’s
Department. Marilyn MacDougall said the one-day fundraiser is in support of the Sunshine Foundation’s oneday trip to Disneyland for children between the ages of 3 and 18 who are challenged by severe physical disabilities or life-threatening illnesses.
“This event is unique. Restaurants will do fundraisers where they donate a portion of the proceeds to a given charity,” MacDougall said. “But to see the dedication of John Tietzen and (Wendy’s) franchise partners behind this, to see the staff donate their time

and wages, to see people willing to wait patiently for up to 45 minutes in line for a hamburger… that is unique and something that is all about giving from the heart.” MacDougall will be joined by five members of the sheriff’s department helping out behind the counter for the annual DreamLift Day at Wendy’s restaurants in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops, Penticton and Salmon Arm. MacDougall is responsible for all civilian and community related activities with the department’s 32 city jurisdictions within the Orange County area, which covers a population base of about 3.2 million people. She also heads up the volunteer and organizing effort on the ground at Disneyland and getting to and from the airport. That can be compli-
cated by increased travel restrictions, such as the need for every child to have a passport and to be dealt with by the Orange Country Airport security personnel. When the plane lands in Orange Country, transportation is organized to transfer the kids and their Orange Country Sheriff’s Department volunteers— there is usually one volunteer per child and sometimes two—from the airport tarmac to Disneyland. The volunteers are matched up with the DreamLift participant, and loaded on caravan of buses bound for Disneyland. Throughout the day, there is a constant need to be ready to deal with medical issues, such as children who suffer from illness symptoms such as seizures or require oxygen tanks to assist with their
breathing. And then the challenge again is to get the visiting children back on the buses at the end of the day, back to airport, dealt with by security and up in the air before the airport’s evening noise restriction takes effect at 10 p.m. MacDougall said her day starts at the airport at about 6:30 a.m., and she releases her last volunteer crew by about 8:30 p.m. She said about 125 volunteers from the sheriff’s department take part in the event, and there is a waiting list of staff willing to give up a day off to participate in the event. She said the challenge to match the kids up with the right volunteers. Appreciation also has to be given to the fact many of the participating kids have never traveled without their parents. “When they arrive, they’re so excited to be
going to Disneyland but also a little overwhelmed,” she said. “But it’s amazing to see how in just a few hours the bond that develops between DreamLift child and our volunteers.” That bonding experience is often evident by the emotions that are exhibited by the adult and child when it’s time to say good-bye at the end of the day. “I know families that have built lasting friendships from being a part of this,” MacDougall said. “I always tell people it’s something you can’t really explain, you just have to experience it to appreciate what this is all about.” The DreamLift Day fundraiser starts at 6 a.m. today and continues until 10 p.m. The next DreamLift flight for children from B.C.’s southern Interior is scheduled for this December.
▼ TAVARES ASSAULT
Court proceeding will clarify BCCLA complaint Conduct from A1 ceptions of the police version of events,” Eby wrote. The BCCLA, in its letter to the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP, asked that it be investigated whether misconduct
was committed by releasing inaccurate, unverified or misleading information and whether misconduct was committed by releasing accurate information inappropriately or contrary to policy. McKinnon said Monday that information came out as a result of a
media question at a press conference. He said he was not suggesting that an assault or violence took place, but that information they had led to the incident being categorized as a domestic violence situation. “I’m sure it will all come out as court proceedings begin,” he said.

Getting prepared for tax time N ow that we are in 2011, it is time to gather your documents together for your 2010 tax return if you have not already done so. Here are some random suggestions and due dates that you might find helpful.
PERSONAL
Most slips including the T4s T4As and T5s need to be issued by your employer by Feb. 28, but most employers will try to issue them before that date. The T3s and the partnership slips do not need to be issued until March 31. If you are considering reducing your taxable income by purchasing an RRSP, you have until March 1, 2011, to do that. Other receipts that you may want to include for tax purposes are moving expenses, child care expenses, safety deposit box fees, charitable donation receipts, political contributions, medical expenses, alimony, employment expenses, union dues, professional dues, carrying charges and interest expenses for investments, public transit and children’s fitness. If you are a senior and your income is above $66,733, you will lose all or a part of your old age security. If your income is over $32,506 you will begin to lose your age tax credit. If you are disabled please have your doctor fill out form T2201 and send that in to CRA so that you will be able to deduct the disability tax credit when filing your return. If your disability occurred in a prior year, you can ask that the credit be backdated for the prior year(s) and have your tax returns amended. If you have joined a weight loss clinic for the treatment of obesity where the services are provided by a medical practitioner, these fees are deductible. If you need to achieve some income splitting consider contributing to a spousal RRSP.
News from your community Capital News
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka Items that were deductible last year and are not this year are the home renovation expenses. That credit did not get carried over to 2010. Some medical expenses that are considered cosmetic whether they are surgical or not, are not deductible.
SMALL BUSINESS
Contributions to private health service plans PHSP are deductible subject to some conditions. Separate your personal expenses from your business expenses. If you drive an automobile, make sure that your mileage log is up to date. If you operate out of your home calculate the percentage of your home that is used for business and gather up the receipts for utilities, mortgage interest, insurance and property taxes for a deduction.
INCORPORATED SMALL BUSINESS
If you have family working for you, they may not be required to contribute to EI and you may be able to get a re-
fund of EI premiums paid on their behalf. You may be able to bonus out excess earnings to the shareholder/employee, however this may not be the most beneficial tax savings for you considering the reduction in corporate tax rates. Your accountant will need to provide you with the best analysis. It may be a better idea to issue dividends from retained earnings or from the capital dividend account to remove excess cash from the corporation. If you wish to contribute to the CPP or RRSP, you will need to receive salary to create the earned income threshold.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
Truckers meal deduction has been increased to 75 per cent for truckers and their employers. The new T4 slip will now be used to report retiring allowances. Wage replacement plans no longer qualify for CPP. Instead of mailing out your GST/HST remittance forms, expect to receive pre-recorded phone messages from CRA reminding you that your re-
turns are due to be filed (at least for the first return). The RRSP contribution limit for 2010 is $22,000. The CRA cancelled the status of Biathlon Canada and Canadian Lacrosse Association as Registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Associations. Last year, the CRA also revoked 593 registered charities because they did not file their annual returns. They also revoked 41 for other causes and completed 718 registered charity audits. The Not for Profit Corporations Act received Royal Assent on June 23, 2009, and will be implemented in three phases. Every charity must move towards the new Act by the end of the three years to avoid dissolution. There are many changes to member and director matters, agreements, financial disclosure and other matters that need to be addressed.

SKI TIPS #008
POWDER SKIING
here has been a stir recently about the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies, namely whether or not they are worthy of existing. This debate has been sparked in part by a report about homeopathy that aired on the CBC show Marketplace. The show’s only purpose was to debunk ho-
FINDING REMEDIES
John Sherman meopathic medicine. While I do not have a problem with people getting the word out about
things, I also like to see a clear two-sided debate and presentation on the topic of homeopathy. The issue, according to CBC’s Marketplace report, is this—there were no detectable amounts of active ingredients in any of the homeopathic remedies they had tested. I can understand their questioning the viability of those remedies.

Powder - It’s what every skier dreams about and once they’ve had it they want more. Some skiers love it so much they’ll pay thousands of dollars for it on helicopter skiing vacations. It plays a starring role in almost every ski movie and it’s what all of the best skiing stories have in common.

1) Start with a good stance. You might have heard that you need to lean back in the powder, this is not the case. Try to feel the entire length of the bottom of your foot in your ski boot with your shins just lightly touching the tongues of your boots; this will help keep you in the middle of your skis. A narrower stance is good too, it helps create one big platform with both of your skis instead of two skinny ones that are wide apart, this “platform� will be easier to turn.

2) The hardest turns in powder are the first couple so it’s important to get a good rhythm going. Start by heading down the slope and bouncing a little bit, this will help your skis rise to the surface of the snow much like a dolphin breaking the surface of the water to take a breath. When your skis break or get close to the surface that’s when you want to turn them.

I can tell you that it would certainly take more than a half hour television show to clearly explain how homeopathic medicine works. I have used many analogies in the past to explain and clarify the seemingly undetectable active ingredients in homeopathic medicine. First, it is good to understand that homeopathic medicine is considered an energetic medicine, not a physical medicine that we have been accustomed to in western society. An example of physical medicine would be something like Aspirin or any other pharmaceuticals. As a comparison between the two medical philosophies, I like to use the analogy of a CD or DVD. If you were to examine the CD under the microscope after cutting it up in pieces, you will not physically find any music. Same goes for finding actors entertaining you by performing in a movie on a DVD. It’s there, but you don’t see it. Same goes for the active ingredients in a homeopathic remedy. To take the analogy further, when you put a CD or DVD in a component and play the disc, you hear the music or see the movie. The CD or DVD player is the catalyst for making the disc provide music or a movie With homeopathy, it is the individual’s body that is the helpful catalyst in making the homeopathic remedy work. Homeopath sceptics roam the earth in great numbers and they have
loud voices, however, this does not mean they are correct. It just means that they have a strong opinion. One of the other points brought up on the Marketplace report was the issue of homeopathic vaccination, in which it spoke of the dangers of not vaccinating your children the conventional way. As a classical homeopath, I do not give homeopathic vaccinations because that basically goes against the homeopathic philosophy that says we can’t treat some unknown future situation. This doesn’t make me an advocate of standard vaccinations, but in the end it comes down to everyone living the way they feel they need to live and choosing what is right for them and their families. There are many people who have taken the stance of an expert, both paid and unpaid, and they will put fear into people as a way of controlling them and bringing them onboard to their particular idealisms. There is no right or wrong here, just the perception of right and wrong depending on which side is trying to make you buy into their argument. But remember, just because you can’t see something it does not mean it is not there, it just means you need to open your inner eyes. John Sherman is a professional classical homeopath in Kelowna. 250-764-2487 cedarlake@telus.net

Dine out to help the homeless A number of Kelowna’s businesses are helping men and women to find a warm, compassionate and safe place to rest at Inn from the Cold. Inn from the Cold Kelowna is a volunteer-based registered charity operating a 35-bed winter shelter and a year-round program, known as Inn Home Support, for persons recently housed or at risk for homelessness. About 300 volunteers help to keep the winter shelter operating seven nights a week during the coldest months. “We know that more people want to help, but lack the time to get involved. We’ve partnered with local restaurants which donate the proceeds from sales on specific nights to Inn from the Cold Kelowna. People can enjoy a dinner out and the proceeds will help provide shelter for Kelowna’s homeless people,” said Patrick Spinks, director of fundraising for Inn from the Cold Kelowna. “It has proven to be a very successful formula. Last week’s event at Rose’s Waterfront Pub raised close to $ 3,000.” “Our Dining Out to Help the Homeless campaign is about consumerism with a cause—supporting local businesses that support the vulnerable in our community,” said Spinks. It was a positive week with Inn from the Cold also receiving support of $1,000 from Fidelity. “Money goes a very long way with us,” said Tara Tschritter, volunteer and shelter coordinator.

AQUATIC DONATION…The Central Okanagan Hospice House in Kelowna is the recipient of
two new aquarium fish tanks, contributed by donations from both the Okanagan Aquarium Club, $540, and Total Pet, $400. Accepting the new aquariums from Total Pet’s Nikki Harvey (right), and Gordon James (beside Harvey), from the aquarium club, are Anne O’Keefe (left), general manager of the hospice facility, and Susan Steen, executive director of the Central Okanagan Hospice Association. The donation was inspired in particular by two people: Melody Cross, who was an enthusiastic member of the aquarium club, and Bram van der Mey, Harvey’s father and a long-time fish enthusiast himself. Both received hospice care prior to passing away last year. The Total Pet donation was raised from the store’s pet photo with Mrs. Claus campaign, which was assisted by Tammy Bowman and Vicky Westlake (Mrs. Claus).
Relay For Life registration sought lay For Life Hero of Hope and a pancreatic cancer survivor. “You can sign up as an individual, a team captain or as a team member; everyone is welcome.” Each participant who registers by Jan. 31 pays the reduced entrance fee of $10. The 2011 Kelowna Relay For Life takes place on June 4 and 5. Teams of up to 15 people take turns walking around a track for 12 or more hours. “Relay isn’t an athletic
event,” said Beglaw. “It’s a fun non-competitive and fulfilling experience that brings together family, friends, coworkers and communities.” The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is a unique opportunity for communities to come together and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones and fight back against all cancers. Each year more than 400 communities nationwide come together to
fight back at Relay, supporting the largest cancer fundraiser in Canada. In British Columbia and the Yukon more than 50 communities participate. Since 1998, Relay For Life has raised more than $51 million in the fight against cancer. Last year in B.C. and the Yukon, the event raised more than $5 million for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Seed catalogues inspire gardeners
E
very year at this time I receive my annual river of seed catalogues, both through the mail and more often now by email. I may be a bit old fashioned but there is definitely something better about holding a real catalogue while sitting in my easy chair and sipping a nice hot tea. Either way, I get to see what new and exciting plant material is being offered, one of the things that keeps me passionate about my work. This year, several catalogues are boasting about the new repeat blooming lilac called Boomerang. The first time I heard about it was when Fraser Valley gardener Brian Minter mentioned it to me last year. It always amazes me how Minter seems to be the first to hear about these things. This new lilac should be even more exciting for us in the Okanagan because we can grow this genus far better than they can at the coast. From what I hear, Boomerang blooms normally in April with all the other lilacs, then gets its second wind in mid summer and continues blooming into fall. How cool is that! Another new plant that is showing up in the catalogues is the Magic Star Oriental lily. Most of you are familiar with the spectacular Star Gazer, which is seen often as a cut flower. Magic Star is a fully double version of this. But just remember the oriental lily is a bit more difficult to grow in the Okanagan than the more common Asiatic varieties. Well drained soil that has been treated with sulphur to lower the pH is needed for real success, but if you are willing to do this you can have an amazing show. The third new plant I’m seeing is the Smarty Dahlia. Now here is a plant that should really do well here in the Okanagan. This new dahlia can’t decide what colour it wants to be. From the pictures I’ve seen, it has a daisy type single blossom with each petal a different colour ranging from reddish pink to white—quite different. *** I will be conducting my Green Thumb series of classes again beginning in March.

PEI next stop for B.C. ladies champs Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Not much came easy for Kelly Scott at the B.C. Scotties women’s curling championship in Cloverdale. That’s what made the Kelowna rink’s fourth provincial victory since 2005 one of the most rewarding yet. After losing twice to Kelley Law—once in the round robin and again in the first round of the playoffs—the Scott team delivered the goods when it counted most, beating Law and her Royal City foursome 5-3 in Sunday afternoon’s final. “The week was a grind right from the start,” an upbeat Scott said on Monday. “We had close games all the way, there was no time where we could coast so that really kept us on our toes. “Kelley (Law) had beat us twice going into the final, but with all those tight games we had, I think we were pretty calm going into the playoffs. It was a really good win for us, so we’re pretty happy to be going back to the Scotties.” Scott posted a 7-2 record in the round robin, with several of those games going right down
to the final rock. Then in the 1-2 Page playoff game Friday, Law disposed of Scott handily 9-2. Still, the seasoned Kelowna foursome was able to regroup for a 7-4 win over Victoria’s Roselyn Craig in the semifinal, then put forth a steady and confident effort in the final against Law. “We’ve worked through some things this season and we put it all together to be as mentally tough as we can be,” she said. “We enjoy having those kinds of challenges and we seemed to thrive on those close games. We never lost the fact that we have to fight hard to the final rock, no matter what, and that’s what we did.” Scott said that same fight will be imperative next month as the Kelowna rink heads for its sixth Scotties Tournament of Hearts national championship in the last seven years. The 2011 tournament , hosted by Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, will be the Kelowna rink’s first trip to the Maritimes since 2005 and its first ever to PEI. “Any event you go to out east is just a hoot,” said Scott. “We’ve never played in PEI so we’re very excited about that.
Our main goal all year was to get to Charlottetown, and to get there is very satisfying.” With the national championship slated for Feb. 19 to 27, it comes less than two months before second Sasha Carter and is expecting her first child. Scott said the team’s search for a fifth player is under way, one who will provide insurance and support for Carter as she approaches the latter stages of her pregnancy. “We have to make a decision in the next few days on how we’re going to move ahead,” said Scott. “It’s going to be Sasha’s choice, her decision of how much she wants to play at Scotties. It’s a grueling week and we don’t want it wearing her down too much. But it’s entirely up to her how she wants to handle that. “Sasha played like a superstar at provincials,” added Scott. “She really came to play and was great for us.” The Scott rink has now won B.C. titles in 2005, 2006, 2010 and 2011. The Kelowna curlers are also the 2006 and 2007 Canadian champions and the 2007 world champs. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Rockets look to build on sweep of U.S. Division teams Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Head coach Ryan Huska isn’t yet 100 per cent convinced. Still, the Kelowna Rockets’ recent sweep of U.S. Division opponents has them looking a lot more like a team that can compete with the Western Hockey League’s best. The Rockets coming off an unexpected three wins in as many nights in Washington, the last two against a pair of the league’s hottest clubs. After taking down Seattle 6-3 last Friday, the Rockets handed the Spokane Chiefs just their second loss in the last 13 games with a comefrom-behind 5-3 win on Saturday. Then on Sunday, Kelowna halted Tri-City’s
13-game home winning streak with a 4-3 verdict over the Americans. Kelowna hadn’t won in nine straight visits to the Toyota Center in Kennewick, Wash., dating back to Feb. 25, 2006. And while it was far from a perfect weekend of hockey in Huska’s eyes, the head coach was pleased with the end result. “It was a pretty good weekend for us,” said Huska. “In Seattle I thought we played very well, but not so much in Spokane. I thought our goaltending bailed us out of a poor game, it was an off-night for us.” “Then I liked the way the trip ended, we weren’t satisfied with the two wins and we competed and battled hard in Tri-City. The guys were opportunistic and did what they had to do.
“The best part is, the wins gave us a little breathing room in our division.” Each game featured solid and, at times, spectacular goaltending for the Rockets—Adam Brown turned aside 61 shots over the first two wins, Zach Franko while rookie Jordon Cooke stymied the Americans Sunday with 32 saves. “Our goaltending’s been good all year, that’s
the one consistent thing I can say about out team from the start. This season our goaltenders have been winning games for us and that’s no something I can remember happening much in past.” On the offensive side of the ledger, rookie forward Zach Franko paced the attack in Washington with four goals and a pair of assists in the three-game set. The skilled Winnipeg product has been red hot of late with six goals and 10 points in his last six games. He’s also riding an 11-game point scoring streak. “Zach is started to get noticed out there, he’s getting more opportunities and he’s making them count,” Huska said. “He’s starting to feel good about where he’s at, he’s working hard and it’s See Rockets A25

Heat sweeps Douglas
Chiefs in Grand Forks
So far, so good in 2011 for the UBC Okanagan basketball squads. The Heat men’s and women’s teams each made it four straight wins in January with home court sweeps of Douglas College. In women’s action Friday in Kelowna, the Heat watched their 2010 championship banner be raised to the rafters, then rolled over the Royals 8346. Jenna Kantz had 20 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Roslyn Huber connected for 20 points each, while Madison Kaneda added 16. The Heat played a staunch defensive game with 24 turnovers and 20 steals. “The first thing we talk about is how we want our defense to be the best,� said Madison Kaneda, speaking about the focuses the team talks about in practice and before games. “We always find that if we work hard on defense and create steals.� On Saturday, more of the same as the Heat dominated for an 83-39 win. Kantz scored 17, Huber had 14 points, while Melissa Irish was solid with 10 points, five rebounds and four assists.
Following a sixday break, the Kelowna Chiefs will play the last of five straight road games when they return to KIJHL action Saturday night in Grand Forks against the Border Bruins. Then on Sunday, the Chiefs will be back at home to take on the Kamloops Storm in a 6 p.m. face off at Rutland Arena. Kelowna (21-19-1-2) leads the Storm by a point for third overall in the Okanagan/Shuswap Confernce Kelowna is coming off an 8-3 loss to the Rebels last Saturday in Castlegar. Prior to that, the Chiefs had won three in a row over Penticton, North Okanagan and Nelson. In Friday’s victory 8-6 over the Leafs, Colten DeFrias paced the attack with a hat trick, while captain Dane Rupert added a goal and three assists.

Heat coach Heather Semeniuk said the two convincing wins were an indication of UBCO’s increasing team chemistry. “They’re really starting to come together and play together,� she said. The Heat (8-3) will visit Langara this Friday and Saturday.
HEAT MEN
Like the women, the UBCO men pushed their record to 8-3 with two wins over Douglas. On Friday, Dan Briscoe netted 19 points and the Heat played some steady defense in an 8170 victory. Player of the game Alex Roth chipped in with 14 points, six rebounds and two steals, while Micah Cockrill added 17 points. The Heat forced 13 turnovers in the first half alone, including 10 steals that contributed to 15 fastbreak points. “When we work hard on defense, every-
thing else falls into place,� said Heat veteran Dave Mackay, who had three steals. On Saturday, Micah Cockrill held the hot hand with eight three-pointers and 28 points overall as the Heat downed Douglas 84-77. Alex Roth added 22 and Briscoe had 16 points. Steve Morrison played a team-high 42 minutes grabbed a game-high 16 of his team’s 56 rebounds. The wins came in the face of adversity as the Heat had five players out of the lineup with injury. “We have to take care of our bodies now and hopefully the guys who are injured will come back healthy this week,� said Dan Briscoe. “Whatever lineup is out there, we just have to play. Two starters and three bench guys, or five bench guys, we just go out there and play.� The Heat will visit Langara Friday and Saturday.
OC COYOTES‌
The Okanagan Coyotes hung tough with the leaders in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League thanks a pair of home-ice wins over the weekend. OC (11-4-1) is tied for second spot with Simon Fraser, and just a single point back of Thompson Rivers for first place. On Friday at Memorial Arena, Brady Mason scored twice and Brock Munro had four points as the Coyotes downed Selkirk College 6-0. Adam Butler stopped 19 shots for the shutout. On Saturday, OC whipped Trinity Western 8-3. The Coyotes next league action is Feb. 4 at home to Simon Fraser and Saturday against Fraser Valley.

Warriors host Salmon Arm Friday The Westside Warriors are back on home ice this weekend after a three game stretch on the road as the B.C. Hockey League season nears its final month of play prior to the playoffs. The Warriors will close out the month of January by hosting Salmon Arm Friday night and Quesnel on Saturday. The Warriors split a pair of road
f t

Alex Grieve had a pair of goals while Quinn Gould, Tyler Krause, Grayson Downing and Tyler Brickler also scored for Westside. The Warriors then travelled to Langley on Saturday and dropped a 5-3 decision. Downing, Brickler and Dru Morrison had the goals in
a losing cause. The Warriors closed out the three game road trip in Prince George on Tuesday night. Details were unavailable as of the Capital News press time. Prior to Tuesday’s clash in Prince George, the Warriors sat in fifth place in the BCHL Interior Conference with a 25-18-2-3 record.

The Rockets failed to scored on five power play chances over the weekend, but were solid when shorthanded as they killed off all 10 of the Blazers power play chances. The Rockets will travel to Prince George this weekend for a pair of games against the Cariboo Cougars. Cariboo is currently fourth in the BCMML at 21-10-3.

DOUG OSNESS is the president of Culligan, a water supplier in Kelowna that just opened up a new operating plant on Windsor Road. celebrates its 30th anniversary this year of serving the Central Okanagan, a history enhanced by strategic alliances that have enabled them to grow and respond to community needs with essential programs and services. In 1981, the “Y” was established by a small group of individuals who wanted to share their own childhood memories of growing up at the “Y” before relocating to the Okanagan with families in Kelowna. The big idea became a reality when the City of Kelowna contracted the YMCA-YWCA to operate the new Athans Aquatic Centre (now the Kelowna Family Y) that was under development. Today, the YMCA-YWCA serves over 30,000 individuals annually, has over 9,000 members, remains accessible to low income children and families with program and membership sponsorship, and employs more than 250 people. Naomi Miller and Lynsey Pashley are opening a new preschool/ day care facility called Little Owl Academy on May 1 in Kettle Valley.
The day care will be located at 5315 Main St. Miller is a licensed family child care provider and Pashley is the owner of three day care centres in Maple Ridge. Little Owl is now accepting applications for group child care, ages 30 months to five years, and preschool, 30 months to four years of age. Contact Little Owl Academy at contact@littleowlacademy.ca. Dayl Booth, currently employed with the Certified Management Accountants of B.C. in Vancouver, plans to relocate to the Okanagan for the newly created position of Interior information officer, effective April 1. Booth will be focusing on growing the CMA designation in the Interior, focusing on Kelowna and Kamloops. It is also CMA B.C.’s objective to have an in-class accelerated program in this market by January 2012, followed by an in-class Strategic Leadership Program in January 2013. Students now must travel to Vancouver to take these programs. She will also be working closely with the universities and col-

▼ ENTREPRENEURS
Partnership opens new doors T
he biggest growth in Canada’s economy, productivity and job creation is through its small and medium sized companies— or SMEs. Given that Canada’s population is aging, and that a substantial number of today’s older and experienced entrepreneurs will soon be retiring or simply departing from their entrepreneurial journey, to maintain this economic growth and prosperity curve it becomes increasingly important for Canada’s youth to fill and enhance this projected entrepreneurial void. Since 1996, the statistics tell us that young entrepreneurs in all categories of new venture creation have been entering the marketplace at three times the rate per year of entrepreneurs over the age of 45. Pretty significant, I would say, and a spotlight on where from a society fand government perspective we must focus our economic future. Youth entrepreneurs are found in every sector of the Canadian economy. About 20 per cent operate in the goods producing area and 73 per cent are found in the service sector, mainly wholesale/ retail, professional services and other. And, I have discovered nearly everywhere I have travelled in Canada is that young entrepreneurs are seemingly quite unique is their proportionately higher presence in the knowledge-based industries. Take a walk around Okanagan Research and Innovation Centre on St. Paul Street in Kelowna and view the young folk who are so talented with their electronic tools. Complementary to that factor is that young entrepreneurs tend to also be engaged in research and development activities when operating an innovative entrepreneurial venture. Apparently, ventures owned by young entrepreneurs are typically more likely to be high growth and, for the most part, are financially viable, perhaps due to the educated, dynamic and focused people at the helm of such businesses. Young entrepreneurs are also likely to identify access to financing as an obstacle to initially launch their business and then for increased growth.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young Some of the barriers to financing include limited credit history (no surprise) and much fewer assets to pledge as requested collateral. Additionally, many people have shared with me that small start-up firms are normally less established in their sector of operation and have fewer years hence in management experience. This invariably contributes to higher than average use of informal financing arrangements such as utilizing personal savings and obtaining and absorbing funds from family, friends and other close connections. Our Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society was established to contribute to the development of entrepreneurial leaders. Now, the society has been designated as a community partner by the Canadian Youth Business Foundation to deliver its loan program for young entrepreneurial start-ups. CYBF is a national charitable non-profit foundation dedicated to championing tomorrow’s entrepreneurs. Why? Because our future depends on creating new businesses to fill the economic gap felt as many small business owners retire, to drive innovation, create new jobs and support Canada’s overall economic prosperity. CYBF does this by investing time and money in aspiring young entrepreneurs age 18 to 34, who have a good business idea, but who may find it difficult to obtain financing or mentoring through traditional sources. CYBF delivers its program nationally through a collaborative network of like-minded organizations such as our entrepreneurs society, Community Futures, municipal committees, post-secondary institutions, etc. Why our society feels so proud to be part of this wonderful young entrepreneur start-up tool is that the CYBF program has four fully integrated components that are built around the lifecycle of any young entrepreneur
beginning their journey. Let me share these with you now: A) Pre-Coach Launching—Everyone needs a coach in some way shape or form. To address this need, CYBF offers a free Pre-Launch Coaching program tool to fill this important need. Through the hands-on personal guidance of a seasoned “entrepreneur in residence,” CYBF provides budding entrepreneurs with help in a wide range of topical needs. B) Online Business Resources—CYBF also offers a robust online Business Resource Centre to service the needs of inquiring entrepreneurs. mentors, community partners and members of our Okanagan CYBF loan review committee. C) Financing up to $55,000—A biggy in the program as money is the lifeline in any venture. CYBF provides start-up financing based on personal character and a great business idea of up to $15,000 with flexible three to five year repayment schedules and no principal payments in year one. Further, the Business Development Bank (BDC) has teamed up with CYBF to provide an additional $ 30,000 to get their ventures off the ground. Then CYBF we kick in expansion financing of up to $10,000 for existing CYBF entrepreneurs. Not bad for a young entrepreneur’s beginning. D) World-Class Mentoring—This element is perhaps one of the most important features of the CYBF program that has
gained international attention. CYBF’s qualified dedicated business mentors bring their years of experience to our young CYBF entrepreneurs , encouraging them, sharing their knowledge and celebrating their successes of up to two years to ensure they have solid support during the critical start-up phase of their venture. This information is an avenue to prompt a flood of new young entrepreneurs into our region and our society. Anyone may learn more of this funding source through our society and/or www. CYBF. ca. I would like to close my column this week with these words. Canadians need to better understand the vital importance of entrepreneurship and small business ownership to our economy. We also need to work more closely together with governments, corporations and educational institutions to not only build a culture of entrepreneurship throughout our region, province and nation, but to build a system that promotes and supports entrepreneurship as a viable career choice. Let’s do this together! Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership coach, consultant and educator and the Founder of Okanogan Valley Entrepreneurs Society eagleyoung@shaw.ca

ENTERTAINMENT ▟ WE’RE ALL FOODIES
Stress-free meal planning for people in a rush Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
You can do under 500 calories, but don’t do under dressed if you want to get your family meals on track. This was the advice from Food Network Canada chef Sandi Richard as she stopped in at the Chapters in Kelowna this week. “I am a big proponent of aprons,â€? said the nationally-renown author and chef as she explained her theory that staying in your work clothes before you prepare a weekday meal keeps one in the frame of mind to complete the job. Richard said her crew have got special fullcoverage aprons that ensure their butts are tucked neatly into a safety zone, should anyone feel the need to wipe a hand on his or her derrière. Richard’s specialty is the cheap, nutritious and delicious kind of meal an everyday cook can create and she guarantees all of her dinners to be under 500 calories. She still knows her way around a good highend kitchen, though, and said the Okanagan plays home to one of her favour-
ite rising stars of the culinary world. Jeremy Luypen, formerly of the Hotel Eldorado and now of his own restaurant, Passa Tempo in Osoyoos, was on her list of people to track down after her signing. “He knows how to combine and infuse food,� she said. “I mean he’s really good at it.� Richard wants more people in the next generation to experience food as an important art. Her mission is to ensure children learn that the daily meals are not chores or a source of conflict, but experiences to celebrate and enjoy with the family. The ticket to this success is preplanning the meals, she said. She uses a system which gets the whole family involved by having everyone contribute to writing down what they want to eat. “We must involve the other people in the process, no matter how perfect a person is at it,� said Richard. By planning meals ahead of time, it reduces a tremendous amount of stress thinking about what to eat at the end of the day. Research indicates that most people take an aver-

think through this “what’s
for dinner?� question.
Planning and then shopping also saves families large amounts of money. “Every time you go to the store for milk it’s $20,� Richard pointed out. “Not to mention the lost time grabbing the extras—‘Oh, I forgot the chickpeas for tomorrow.’ ‘Are we out of this?’� Her system can also reduce fights as making the call near the end of the day to ask someone what they want for dinner can put a spouse on the hot seat to come up with something and intrinsically points out that the person making the call is being the responsible one— again. With the rising cost of food hitting the national political agenda, Richard’s recommendations may, in fact, herald a trend toward getting the family back in the kitchen. Richard’s new book, Cooking for the Rushed, is in stores now. Every photo in the book is a real dish she’s made, she said, noting she didn’t want to stage anything to polish it up. “I want people to feel like they can do this,� she said. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Biden man of his times who pushed envelope Grammy
D
oug Biden was a Kelowna-based artist for the last several years of his life (he died in 2007), having grown up and studied art in Vancouver. He was a well-loved instructor in the fine art area at the Okanagan University College, which moved to the University of British Columbia Okanagan campus. This posthumous survey show now at the Kelowna Art Gallery was conceived of in collaboration with the artist by curator Darrin Martens, and circulated by the Burnaby Art Gallery, where Martens is director/curator. Comprising some 75 pieces, the show is a rich sampling of the artist’s mature work, exploring mixed media, etching and lithography. Biden appears to have been a restless and indefatigable “working artist,” always pushing the envelope of his chosen medium, and striving to incorporate his thoughts and feelings about sociopolitical issues and news

Liz Wylie stories of the moment. The show is installed as a chronological sweep at the Kelowna Art Gallery, beginning with a suite of works on paper from 1989 and ending with a series of various human faces downloaded from news sources and altered by the artist, from 2005. Viewers can trace Biden’s path from a rather personal, idiosyncratic repertoire of expressive abstract forms and shapes in his earliest work, through to hard-hitting representational images of things like skulls and skeletons, airplanes relating to 9/11, and groups of fragile, delicate tulips. Biden is an exemplar of the artist engagé, that is an artist as a political cit-

and inspirations in the developments of printmaking in the modern era, both in technical terms and in his creation of his compositions. For example, the method of collaging images and pieces of text in one work may be in homage to the screenprints of the late American artist Robert Rauschenberg from the 1960s in which he montaged images from newspapers and magazines, creating a kind of mangled and jangling mash up, similar to what we may feel in facing the day-to-day barrage of media images we are exposed to as we go about our lives. The show is accompanied by a full-length

Bruce Mitchell Anyway, as you can tell from this CD, the Grammy Awards are on the horizon and this Nominees package is well worth checking out with its loaded 19 tracks and wide variety of fine music. It is ironic that this collection starts off with Cee Lo Green and his Internet sensation F*!% You, which has been cleaned up for this anthology for airplay with the title Forget You, while I kinda liked his version on Steven Colbert where the offending title was changed to Fox News. New wonder child Bruno Mars makes a
couple of appearances here with his hit with B.o.B on Nothin’ On You and his own solo song Just The Way You Are. This collection would not be complete without the club crossover hits from the likes of Lady GaGa, Katy Perry and Eminem with Rihanna. Other fine contributions come from the pens of Lady Antebellum, John Mayer (with Taylor Swift), Sade, Miranda Lambert, Arcade Fire, Train (a live version of their smash Hey, Soul Sister) and Maroon 5. The only weak song here is Adam Lambert’s Whataya Want From Me where I have often held true that simply repeating a song title over and over again ad nauseum isn’t really songwriting. Finally, the closing song here is a surprise visit from the Glee cast and their anthemic Don’t Stop See Mitchell A31

Lang Lang brings something classical to video games Mitchell from A30 Believing that is bound to raise a few eyebrows. For the most part, a solid sampler of the past year’s biggest hits. I am not sure if there will be a separate, co-release of hip hop and rap that the Grammy crew have released in the past but there is precious little urban music here. B
LANG LANG: GRAN TURISMO 5 (SONY CLASSICAL)
Lang Lang has become a big star in classical music where he was a child prodigy while growing up in Manchuria. He made his first public appearance at the tender age of only five years but his meteoric rise has been nothing short of phenomenal. I like the fact he is so young and that he is still a huge fan of video games and hence his being hired to provide music for Gran Turismo 5 as this new CD is subtitled The Official
BILLY JOEL: LOVESONGS, SHE’S ALWAYS A WOMAN (SONY, LEGACY)
Soundtrack to that game. Land Lang plays the ivories here without accompaniment on all 11 eclectic tracks that includes Bach’s Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring, Pete Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker (not the whole thing, just the Dance Of The Sugarplum Fairies), Liszt’s Liebestraum, Holst’s The Planets (Jupiter), Chopin’s Minute Waltz and Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer (made famous from the film The Sting). All these are mellow and restful piano pieces but L. Lang picks up the pace for the hectic Precipitata by Prokofiev which is the official music for the aforementioned video game. B+
Billy Joel’s first Greatest Hits package was a two-CD set released way back in 1985. This new collection is maxed out at 18 tracks but this is only a single CD, meaning a lot of Joel’s past glories have been left on the editing floor. However, this anthology was hand picked by the Piano Man himself and it is, I believe, designed for the upcoming Valentine’s day with the focus on love songs as suggested by the clever title: Billy Joel Lovesongs—meaning Billy J. loves songs or that these are love songs? As a romantic collection there is no narrative songs like his lengthy hit Piano Man, nor are there any rockers such as Big Shot, My Life or It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me (Joel’s reactionary shot at late ’70s new wave that sort of put him on the back burner as per-
haps an old codger thing of the past). But there are lots of down-tempo favourites such as Just The Way You Are, Honesty, And So It Goes, She’s Got A Way (live) and of course Shameless that became a big hit as a crossover country song for Garth Brooks. A solid collection even without Joel’s more popular up-tempo hits. B-
would have been hailed as the best of their classic rock albums as this is a surprisingly strong set of songs with tremendous musicianship. The Doobies have expanded their palate with a touch of Latino rock on Old Juarez, some island

beer from Crannog Ales and organic Mead from Meadow Vista. Live performances will feature an all Okanagan cast including Jodi Pederson, The Capers, Little Jungles ,Yukon Blonde and many more. There will be original art work on display all around the Centre by a number of artists including Don Elzer, Jordan and David Doody, Meghan Wise, Malcolm Eidse and Brittany Falk. Exhibitors will include Curio Designs, Blowfish Glassworks, Leftover Hippies, and again, many more. This festival has a little bit of everything for everyone. With numbers of artisans and performers filling each corridor, studio, and hall of the Rotary Centre for the Arts, Ecotone is truly a celebration of art and community. This is the 4th annual festival that the Cakewalk Collective has organized, and was created for the purpose of being a grassroots co-operative community co-venture to support and nurture the Okanagan’s creative business community and burgeoning arts scene. With so many artists leaving the Okanagan to
take part in the flamboyant arts and culture scenes of larger cities, Conduit provides local artists with a support system of sorts. The festival continues to grow and become more successful each year which in turn attracts a larger audience to the festival. The bigger the audience, the more awareness there is for the Okanagan’s local arts and culture scene. Conduit is an integral part of the Okanagan events calendar, as
no other event or festival has such a focus on sustainability not only in the arts community but in regards to our environment as well. So if you only leave your house once a year, I would suggest making it Feb. 5 because this is an event you don’t want to miss. Ecotone will leave you feeling inspired, hopeful, and connected. Doors open at 4pm with the festival going right until 2am. A min-

FAMILY LITERACY TIPS AND ACTIVITY IDEAS TRAVEL THE WORLD: Well, sort of, Use your library card as your passport. Check out books on different countries to learn about their traditions and celebrations. DAFFY DICTIONARY: Choose a word from the dictionary and write it on a piece of paper with one correct definition, then make up two more definitions that are incorrect but ‘sound’ like they might be accurate. See who can guess the correct definition. Teams can play this game, with members coming up with the daffy definitions together and also guessing the other team’s correct definition. HAVE A BOOK-NIC: Organize an indoor picnic featuring books and delicious treats. Choose a theme around family food and reading preferences; for example, enjoy honeyflavoured cereal while reading Winnie the Pooh stories. AUTHOR, AUTHOR! Create a family journal by interviewing family members and writing down favourite jokes and stories from your kid brother, father, mother and Great Aunt Edna. GET THE NEWS! Read news articles and magazines and then discuss current affairs together. SING FAVOURITE SONGS. Find out more about the songwriter or singer on the Internet. GAME ON: Set up a family board game night where a different game is played each week. SOUS CHEF. Following recipes is a great way to improve both reading and math skills. Ask your children to read the instructions out loud and to help measure the ingredients when making a treat for the family. READ A CLASSIC ADVENTURE TOGETHER. If your children like Survivor, they will love Treasure Island. THE COUNT: Have your child count out the change required to make a purchase. Reinforce the importance of math in everyday life. WRITE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Write a short story as a family with alternative endings written by each family member.
QUESTIONS: 1. On the coloring picture, how many wheels are there on the in-line skates? 2. If all the kids in the picture were wearing in-line skates, how many wheels would there be in total? 3. Give everyone in the picture a name. 4. What newspaper do you think the dog has in his mouth?
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go. Dr. Seuss
