KGH care tower ready to open Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Construction of the new six-storey patient care tower at Kelowna General Hospital is complete. Officials with Interior Health and Infusion Health, the consortium that built the $250-million building, will celebrate the milestone today with a brief ceremony to symbolically “hand over the keys” to the tower. “It’s basically like when you have a house built. Now we can move in the furniture,” said Cam McAlpine, spokesman for the project. Over the next four months, the buildings systems will be tested, furniture and equipment will be moved in and, most importantly, the 2,500 people who will work in the new tower will be trained and oriented to their new work surroundings. The building will open for full public operation May 27.

UPHILL TREK…West Kelowna emergency crews pulled two people from a car that went over the embankment at the west end entrance to Glenview Regional Park on Gellatly Road this week. Black ice conditions on local roads caused several accidents, most notably on Dilworth Drive in Kelowna, where vehicles have gone off the road and rolled down steep hills.

Police in pursuit of arsonist on burning spree Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna resident Alex Yesilcimen had the misfortune of finding himself witness to the beginning of a Tuesday arson spree that kept police and fire officials busy for much of the night.

“I was in my room when I saw the night sky get lit up in an orange glow. And it sounded like someone had dropped an artillery shell in my back yard or something,” he told the Capital News. “I ran outside to find someone had blown up a garbage can in my alley

behind my house. “We found out later that someone had put a small camping propane tank in the bin and that’s what caused the explosion.” Police and fire trucks showed up to smother the blaze, while his neighbour pulled the garbage

can away from the shed behind the homes in the Richter Street area. “If he didn’t do that it would have most likely caught fire to everything else around it,” said Yesilcimen. “Later in the evening my mother said she was driving to the corner store and she said she saw

a man surrounded by two police cars, so we’ve assumed they caught the arsonist.” Police haven’t announced an arrest, however, and are looking for assistance to solve the fiery crime spree that started at around 8:48 p.m. That’s when the Ke-

Shedding light on Kelowna Mountain proposal Barry Gerding EDITOR

The bright array of lights shining off Kelowna Mountain on Monday night caught the attention of the Central Okanagan Regional District. At its meeting Monday, the board opted to delay first reading of a new Official Community Plan bylaw for the South Slopes area. That decision has been applauded by Mark Consiglio, the owner of several connected parcels of land on Kelowna Mountain for which he has some dynamic development plans. Bruce Smith, spokesperson for CORD, cited two reasons for the bylaw delay—the new rural area director for the South Slopes area, Patty Hanson, along with the other six new regional board directors wanted more time to get up to speed on the OCP bylaw; and a proposal sent by Consiglio in a letter to the board outlining his development plans needed more time to be assessed against the intentions of the bylaw. Smith said the first

reading of the OCP bylaw was put over until the board’s meeting scheduled for Feb. 9. In the letter to the regional district, Consiglio’s project outlined several amenity objectives: • a family ski hill with passenger ropeways • a terrain park, including half-pipe, rails and jumps • on-site snow making capabilities • four suspension bridges and mountainbike terrain • an 18-hole PGA standard golf course • a 150,000 square-foot commercial village that would include a 100-seat community theatre, children’s fine arts centre, a Montessori pre-school, corner store, medical clinic and seniors’ complex • vineyard, winery and facility capable of producing 25,000 cases of wine a year • 1,200 single-family home sites • 600 multi-family units, and • ski-in, ski-out access to all residential and commercial areas. Smith acknowledged that Consiglio’s plans have played a part in providing the need to create

LAURA MILLSIP/CONTRIBUTOR

THE OUTDOOR LIGHTS for a private ski hill on Kelowna Mountain were lit up for all to see across Kelowna and West Kelowna on Monday. an OCP for what had been a rural area. “In light of the June Springs area, issues with gravel pit applications on the south end of Lakeshore Road and what was happening with Kelowna Mountain, the board decided in 2010 there was a need to create an OCP for the South Slopes area,” Smith said. “There hadn’t been a need for it before because there hadn’t been widespread development in those areas, but that situation has changed in recent years.” In the OCP consultation process, Smith said there has already been extensive consultation with affected landowners and

what he called “kitchen roundtable” meetings to help decipher what the bylaw should address. As well, he said regional district staff and City of Kelowna staff need to confer further about infrastructure service issues related to the project. As for Kelowna Mountain, Smith said the regional district has not received any development permit from Consiglio. Additions to the property, such as the ski hill lights evident on Monday, the 12-run ski hill itself, a suspension bridge and man-made lake are all things that Consiglio has done for his family’s own personal use. “Without receiving a

permit application, there was nothing really for us to do,” said Smith of the Kelowna Mountain amenity additions. “And with the absence of an OCP for that area, we have no guidelines to enforce.” Relations between Consiglio and the regional district have been strained in recent years, but Consiglio was at Monday’s regional district meeting and is apparently happy to see that the first reading of the OCP bylaw was delayed. Michele Rule, public relations consultant for the Kelowna Mountain project, said Consiglio was glad to see the board consider what his

development proposes to do before sending the bylaw to the public hearing process. “This is an exciting project that will create 3,000 jobs over the building phase of about three years and 500 permanent jobs,” said Rule. “It will be a great economic generator in these times of recession.” She said Consiglio had put his plans on hold pending the outcome of the civic election last November. “He wanted to see if there would be any change to the regional district board and that has happened,” said Rule, citing the election of Hanson as the director for the rural

area and six new civic appointee directors to the board. Rule, who served two terms on Kelowna city council before losing her seat in the last civic election, said Consiglio hasn’t added any amenities to his Kelowna Mountain property that aren’t allowed. “Usually when you build a housing development, the home sites are developed first and the amenities come second, but it’s the opposite for this project because (Consiglio) wants to show, up front to investors, that he is in this project for the long haul.” bgerding @kelownacapnews.com

CORD celebrates highlights of past year and looks ahead The Central Okanagan Regional District has released an annual review featuring 2011 highlights and outlining 2012 initiatives. The 31-page publication highlights the accomplishments of each regional district department and program during 2011, while providing insight into some of the goals and initiatives planned through 2012.

According to CORD communications officer Bruce Smith, “The annual review is an excellent overview of the activities, programs and services provided by Regional District for Central Okanagan residents. “Some people might be surprised by the depth and variety of programs that we offer across the entire region and as the local government for our

two electoral areas.” Activation of the Regional Emergency Program and Emergency Operation Centre, due to spring flood potential and the Bear Creek wildfire, were listed as a highlight. Other 2011 highlights included: Completion of foreshore and kokanee spawning habitat restoration in Bertram Creek Regional Park; installation

of new trail stairs in Mission Creek Regional Park; and reconstruction of a new boat launch in Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour Regional Park. The publication noted the increase in court support and accompaniment for crime victims through the Regional District police-based victim services program and calculation of the first living wage information for the

Central Okanagan. Completion of several large construction projects, along with adoption of two new Official Community Plans, are among the initiatives planned for CORD this year. The 2011 annual review is available online at www.regionaldistrict. com or can be picked up at the Regional District office (1450 KLO Rd.).

Wendy’s toys after having lunch at the hamburger chain’s restaurant in West Kelowna on Wednesday. The Wendy’s outlets in Vernon, Kelowna, West Kelowna, Penticton, Salmon Arm and Kamloops all participated in their annual Dreamlift Day fundraiser for the Sunshine Foundation, which helps fund the annual one-day trip to Disneyland every second years for kids in the B.C. Interior who suffer from life-threatening illness or face physical challenges. Business was brisk again as the fundraiser was expected to easily push the total raised since the event started past $1 million mark. All proceeds from the day’s food sales are donated to the Dreamlift Day effort and all the Wendy’s employees donate their salaries for the day.

About five years ago, Schmalz began to notice subtle differences in her father’s behaviour. “We started noticing that he was having trouble getting the right words out and (he was) calling things by the wrong name. My brother and I started questioning it, thinking something was up,” said Schmalz. Schmalz convinced Keith to go to a doctor. This began a two-year process, in and out of doctors’ offices, that eventually confirmed that Keith had dementia. Keith’s intelligence helped him to function reasonably well initially, according to Schmalz. “Being very smart, he was able to come up

The past five years have been tough for his family and they have seen his condition worsen. Schmalz has helped her father move into three different assisted living situations. Some of those situations worked for a while; however, as Keith’s condition worsened, they had to

change his living quarters. This week, Keith moved into Cottonwoods Care Centre. Schmalz is optimistic that this location will be a fit for her father’s needs. “There are different types of dementia; everybody’s journey through it is different. He doesn’t decline gradually, he suddenly has steps down where he loses a lot of ability,” said Schmalz. Keith has been a leader and advocate for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. He’s always been open and willing to talk about living with dementia. “Two years ago he raised a lot of money. He went to several seniors

NEWS ▼ AFFORDABILITY

Kelowna still expensive Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna has once again been listed among the least affordable places in the world to call home. The Demographia International Housing Affordability Study was released yesterday and Kelowna’s affordability was examined, alongside 325 metropolitan areas in Canada, the U.S., Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom. It’s the fifth year in a row that Kelowna earned the dubious distinction of being named “severely unaffordable,” this time placing 32nd most cost prohibitive. When stacked up against other Canadian cities alone, it was in the top five cost-prohibitive destinations, along with Vancouver, Victoria, Abbotsford and Toronto. While earning a rating of severely unaffordable is far from a coup for city leaders, there is a silver lining to the newest edition of the study. In the boom years, Kelowna made the Top 20 least affordable places to live, in 2008 it was ranked 13th least affordable and 19th in 2009. Downward pressure on house prices likely helped buckle its standing. But the other measure used in the study didn’t see a lot of upward momentum. Demographia divides the median home price by the pretax median income. It offers a ratio that allows them to divvy up metropolitan areas into categories of severely unaffordable, seriously unaffordable, moderately unaffordable and affordable. Kelowna was slotted into the severely unaffordable category with the median home price of $385,100 in the third quarter and a median pretax household income of $58,100. In 2008, the median house price was listed as $446,300, while the median pretax household income has continued to hover in the $50,000 range. That, explained the Economic Development Commission’s Robert Fine, says more about the makeup of the local economy than anything else. “Our household incomes are always lower because we have an older, non-working population,” said Fine. “We have a lot of small

business, so typically our household income isn’t as high. When you divide that on the bottom and cost of housing on the top you can see where we can come from.” Fine also said it’s worthwhile to contrast that study to a recent report from CMHC. Around Chrsitmas, it published a study noting that 72 per cent of Kelowna residents own a home—the third highest level in Canada. “By this measure we’re the most unaffordable, but we also have one of the highest levels of home ownership, which shows who lives here,” he said. While locals can use the figures in Demographia’s study any way they please, the writers of the document have a clear purpose. They use the rankings to argue against restrictions on land use. In Canada, in particular, they note smart growth programs and inflexible approaches to agricultural zoning cause much of the problem. “Vancouver, which like Sydney has largely prohibited housing development on the urban fringe for decades, experienced a significant deterioration, with housing reaching a median multiple of 10.6, replacing Sydney as the second most unaffordable market in the survey, following Hong Kong,” says the study. “Toronto was also severely unaffordable, at 5.5, a deterioration of 40 per cent in housing affordability since 2004, as that metropolitan area’s ‘smart growth’ program has taken effect. Montreal has been one of the worst performers in housing affordability, over the years of the Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey, with a Median Multiple of 5.1, up nearly 60 per cent from 2004, at the same time as the land for development has been severely limited by an inflexible approach to agricultural zoning.” Overall, the study concludes that land use policies in places like coastal California, Vancouver, Britain and Australia, have dramatically driven up the cost of housing, and that the less intrusive policies of places like Atlanta and Houston have kept prices down. These observers have also noted that measures

Canadian cities on the Demographia International Housing Affordability Index, along with median house prices and median household incomes: Vancouver; 10.6; Abbotsford; 7.0; Victoria; 6.8; Kelowna; 6.6; Toronto; 5.5; Montreal; 5.1; Hamilton; 4.2; Sherbrooke; 4.0; Saskatoon; 4.0; Calgary; 3.9;

that restrict land supply, slow growth in the immediate area where the policies are in place and push up housing prices which can be very attractive to individuals who already own their own homes. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Do You Have Hard Water? Many areas in the interior of BC have hard water. Lime scale deposits caused by high calcium content in the water not only leads to hard-to-clean stains on shower doors, glassware and other surfaces, but it also wreaks havoc on dishwashers, laundry machines and the heating elements in boilers. The loss in energy efficiency is significant and cost associated with the replacement of a broken boiler element can be a tough pill to swallow. Traditional water softeners are not only expensive, but they use electricity and require constant refills of salt. Due to the high sodium content of softened water, it is not recommended to drink it. This means that additional costs are often incurred purchasing bottled water. Reverse osmosis systems are also a costly affair. Recently, a B.C. family decided to bring a proven European water technology to the Canadian marketplace; Best Water For You, based in Keremeos, B.C. distributes devices that can effectively solve the lime scale

problem without the negative side effects of traditional water softeners. “This is a product that is almost maintenance free” says Gloria Fedirchuck who installed a device in her Osoyoos home. “No more bags of salt etc. It is also a very “small” piece of equipment - no more large water softener that takes up space. Best of all, it gets rid of the lime scale – clear shower doors, clear wine glasses, nearly ‘smooth’ sinks - i.e. very little lime residue to clean up. Best of all, showering is a delight - skin, hair feels smooth, soft and nice to touch - without creams and conditioners.” These water vitalization devices are a natural and green technology solution to a common problem in the Okanagan and will surely attract attention. They not only address the lime scale problem but offer several other benefits such as improved taste. You can find more information online at www.bestwater.ca or by calling 1-855-499-8892.

Archers, shooters benefit from banquet Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Young, local archers and shooters are becoming very competitive with the help of members of the Kelowna and District Fish and Game Club. However, competing costs money as does the training provided for them

at the club’s range by volunteers from the club. So each year the club holds a fund-raising and awards dinner at their East Kelowna facility with door prizes and draws such as the $799 Excalibur Vortex crossbow kit from Grouse River Outfitters, the major sponsor of this year’s event Feb. 25.

Last year, the club’s junior trap shooter Gaelan Bingham came home with a high junior in singles and high sub-junior in the singles championship and he won the handicap championship. Fellow shooter Jake Lutz did well at the largest trap tournament in the Pacific Northwest, the Grand in Washington State, taking the championship in sub-junior singles and the Browning championship in handicap for a sub-junior. He also racked up high junior at several tournaments. World champion skeet shooter Bob LaRue of Kelowna is organizing a junior skeet weekend this summer during which

participants will receive one-on-one instruction in using shotguns to break fast-flying clay pigeons. As well, national-level archery coach Charles Land and his wife Dianne, a provincial-level judge and coach will be instrumental in developing a Junior Olympic Program, targeting world and Olympic status for the club’s young archers. The club has junior rifle, trap, skeet and archery programs, but all of them require money to continue. A highlight of the fund-raising and awards dinner will be recognition for first buck taken by gun or bow by a junior. “We welcome all juniors who harvested their first deer in 2011 to enter and receive an award,” said Barry Marciski, co-organizer of the event. Club volunteers also teach youngsters angling basics weekly at the Hall Road children’s fishing pond in the spring, supplying rods and reels, bait and nets along with helping hands. Club president Mark Rogers said the club is always looking for ways to support and enhance wildlife management and habitat.

City manager Ron Mattiussi says they are looking for a balance in

Lions to bring Grey Cup to ▼ HEALTH the Laurel Packinghouse Hospital expansion project key-ready ASSISTANT EDITOR

The Grey Cup is coming to Kelowna. The holy grail of Canadian football will be displayed at the Laurel Packinghouse, Tuesday, Jan. 31, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., as part of a week-long province-wide tour. In addition to the cup, two B.C. Lion star players, receiver Geroy Simon and centre Angus Reid, are also scheduled to appear. The Lions won the cup at B.C. Place Stadium in November, beating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 34-23. They did so after remarkably starting the season 0-5 but winning 11 of their last 13 games to claim first place in the Western division at the

end of the regular season. The Lions then dispatched Edmonton in the Western final before facing the Eastern division champion Blue Bombers in the Grey Cup game. They were the first CFL team since the 2004 Lions to win the cup at home. On Tuesday, the Grey Cup will start it’s day on Vancouver Island, where it will be displayed in Nanaimo and Comox, before being flown to Kelowna for the evening event. While here, locals will have an opportunity to have their pictures taken with the it. The next day, it will be taken to Penticton and Vernon. The Central Okanagan is home to several former Lions players, many of whom are expected to be invited to the Kelowna

event. They include former Okanagan Sun head coach and current offensive coordinator Jay Christensen, who was a receiver with the Lions before moving to the Edmonton Eskimos, with whom he won the Cup. In addition to the three Okanagan cities and Kamloops, the Grey Cup will make stops on Vancouver Island, in the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley and in Northern B.C. during a seven-day tour. Star quarterback Travis Lulay, named the MVP of the Grey Cup game, is expected to appear with the cup in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island. Next year’s Grey Cup game in Toronto will be the 100th time it has been played for.

RCMP chase after fire starter Arsonist from A1 to mention bike tracks as well as shoe prints. At 11:19 p.m., Mounties were called to another dumpster fire in the back alley of the 700 block of Raymer Avenue. “The Kelowna Fire Department had already extinguished the flames but a wooden fence adjacent to the bin had sustained some damage,” said Const. Kris Clark. Bicycle tracks and shoe prints were found in the area consistent with the previous fire. Witnesses saw three males running through the back alley of the 500 block of Morrison Avenue at about this same time. The three males were all dressed in black. Police located and seized two bicycles in the alley believed to be related to the suspects. Then, on Jan. 25 at 12:36 a.m., a third garbage fire was reported, this time in the back alley of the 2100 block of Richter St. The fire was quickly smothered by an observant resident so very little damage was reported. “Police believe these fires to be related as they are all within a few blocks of each other,” said Clark. Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

Tower from A1

Some of the departments moving into the new tower will vacate buildings and areas of the existing hospital, which will be demolished to make room for the new cardiac care centre. The last major expansion at KGH was in 1992 when the Royal Tower was built. Meanwhile the three-storey, 84,000-square-foot clinical support building, located across Pandosy

The 360,000-square-foot tower will feature new locations for several hospital departments including emergency, operating rooms, renal dialysis, psychiatric, eye care outpatient programs, additional beds and other patient care facilities. Part of a huge expansion at KGH that will take another five years to complete, the tower is the largest of four major buildings being added to the hospital. The others are the now completed $14-million UBC Southern Interior Med-

Street from the main KGH campus and connected to the new tower via a third-storey enclosed skybridge, is nearing completion. It is slated to open at the same time as the Centennial Tower. That building will contain the hospital’s new laboratory facilities. The huge investment in KGH, totalling more than $750 million over eight years, will consolidate the hospital as the major tertiary care centre outside of the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria. awaters@kelonwcapnews.com

MLA tries to understand plight of the poor

gainst a backdrop of stunningly high home assessment values for 2011, Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Jagrup Brar found “seven-star” accommodation in his community last week, as part of his quest to live on a single, employable man’s welfare income for the month. It’s a 144-square-foot room in a Surrey house he’ll share with six other people. Brar’s portion will cost $375. His room has a TV and a fridge along with a two-seat sofa. There’s a twin bed fitted

with a Winnie-the-Pooh blanket from his kids. The space is reasonably clean, at least, and there’s room for Brar and his large frame to move around. With a place to lay his head secured, Brar’s attention turned to another necessity: Food. With his finances already dwindling (after spending money on rent/ damage deposit, and a cellphone and bus tickets—needed in order to search for work, a requirement for collecting his social assistance), Brar budgeted about $30 for a week’s worth of groceries. He took home a litre of

milk, a package of tofu, a box of cereal, a small jar of peanut butter, noodles, tomatoes, carrots, green onions, apples and a loaf of bread. Here’s guessing a guy as big as Brar could go through those staples in one or two days, but he only has $67 left, and 27 more days remaining in the monthlong experiment. Is Brar’s stint on the streets “real?” Technically, no. Even he admits that. Is it worthwhile? Yes. The public often demands that politicians “walk a mile” in their shoes. That should be part

of their job, to understand what their constituents face in their daily lives, rich or poor. Yet many are damning Brar for what appears to be an earnest attempt on his part to better understand the plight of the poor. In our instant-gratification culture, going without—even for a short period of time and in the context of a simulated experience— can go a long way towards providing insight. Hopefully, he’ll bring new wisdom, along with the voice of his constituents, to the legislative table and affect positive change.

Current global uprisings reflected in tale of a kingdom

ere’s a story. Once upon a time there was an emperor who ruled his country with a heavy hand. Most of his subjects couldn’t read or write so it was easy for him to create laws that suited him best because nobody had the education to challenge the laws, let alone read them. A teacher entered the kingdom and without the knowledge of the emperor began to teach the subjects how to read, write and understand basic numeracy. The subjects now were able to understand the law of the land and decided that they didn’t like some of the laws and wanted the emperor to change them. The emperor made some minor changes but he also increased the size of his army at the

same time. The teacher unfortunately disappeared one day and the subjects were left on their own to teach themselves how to read and write better. Twenty years went by and as the subjects became more educated they began to pressure the emperor to provide schools for their children so they too could learn to read, write and understand numbers. Many of these children excelled in school so their parents put more demand on the emperor to create a school that allowed children to be educated beyond the age of 12.

The emperor was not keen on this so he denied their request and put the money he could have put into education into his army so he could control his Jane subjects better. The subjects were Muskens unhappy and created underground high schools so students could continue to learn past Grade 6. Twenty more years went by and the emperor knew that many of his subjects now had more education than he did and were demanding that he build colleges and universities. They also began to challenge both his authority and that of his army.

SCHOOL’S IN

After a few uprisings with some of his subjects fleeing the land, the emperor realized that he couldn’t afford to lose his subjects especially those with an education as they brought prosperity to the kingdom, so he relented. He gave his subjects the authority to create only one campus and made it very difficult for many students to attend as they only had so many desks and classrooms. About 10 years later, the emperor passed away and his daughter, who was educated outside of the kingdom, became the new emperor. She soon realized that to make her subjects happy she needed to meet their demands. So she built more colleges and

added a few universities to the kingdom. Within 15 years about 10 per cent of the subjects had completed either a college or university credential and were demanding that the emperor create a system of democracy where leaders were elected by the people. The daughter, who was educated in Canada, understood their demands and realized the kingdom could no longer rule with a strong army but needed to have the people involved in both the creation and administration of the laws of the land. She abolished the position of emperor and all the power it held and See Muskens A11

CONSIGNMENT Council challenge: use transit for one month LOOP! ▼ TRANSPORTATION

Open letter to Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray and Kelowna city council: I am a fourth-year student at UBC Okanagan. For the past four years I have relied on the Kelowna Regional Transit System not only to get to campus but also to get around the city for work, getting groceries, going on social outings and going about my life in general. As a UBC student I pay $45 per semester for a bus pass ($50 less a 10 per cent subsidy). The Kelowna Regional Transit Authority and UBC Okanagan recently held a referendum on transit fees, resulting in the decision for the 2012-2013 student transit fee to increase to $54 per semester ($60 less a 10 per cent subsidy). Transit fees are also increasing for monthly passes and regular fares. Along with this fee increase came a promise of better bus service. It took many years for the Kelowna Regional Transit System to get to where it is today. Your decision to drastically reduce funding to such a vital service will mean that years of effort, time and money will have been in vain. This move is also detrimental to the environment, the economy and the commun-

ity as a whole. Tourist companies and city council like to tout Kelowna as a world-class city—but world-class cities need world-class transit systems. Yes, transit costs are rising. But that’s no reason to make such extreme cuts to vital services. Busing to campus last semester was like being squished into a can of sardines. There are too few buses that run too infrequently to serve the growing student population in Kelowna. The students who voted to pay more for the same U-Pass, and the citizens who are now paying higher fees for the same bus passes, expect you to honour your obligations to us and improve transit. In fact, during the U-Pass referendum it was suggested by the City of Kelowna (through their Facebook page) that if the referendum failed, the City of Kelowna would cancel the U-Pass altogether. The referendum literature also promised more frequent buses and more routes if the referendum passed. Well, we listened. We passed the referendum. Now we, the students of UBC Okanagan, demand the higher service we were promised.

Why should Kelownians pay more money for less service? Economically speaking, when looking to save money, it’s most intelligent to start by trimming what’s not necessary rather than what is necessary. Public transit is not a luxury. In fact, investing in public infrastructure is the best type of investment during and when exiting a recession. I’m interested to know: When you decided to eliminate the #9 Shopper’s Shuttle, did you seek input from people who take the #9 bus every day? What about when you decided to reduce morning service on the #97 Express bus, Kelowna Transit’s flagship? Did you consult with the bus drivers on these routes to gain an understanding of what actually happens on the ground? I would like to issue a challenge to the mayor and to all council members. I challenge you all to use Kelowna Transit as your only source of motor vehicle transportation for exactly one month. Perhaps then you will see how necessary this service is. Mike Straus, Kelowna

Look to waste to save on health care huge numbers—$30 billion, $178 billion—yet we, the average Canadian, know and can see that our health care system is failing us. Does no one even think of investigating where all this money is going, as it is not improving the system in any way? As Mr. Cannan says, we, his constituents, want a health care system that consistently provides timely, efficient, quality care and keeps pace with modern innovations in medicine. However, as a prime example of where we are falling down let’s look at the federal government’s position on trials for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency— CCSVI. CCSVI was brought to light nearly two and a half years ago as a poten-

tial treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is an incurable, progressive, chronic disease. The only treatments currently available are very expensive disease modifying drugs, which, despite their high costs, do not stop the progression of the disease or in any way cure it. CCSVI, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive out-patient surgery, but it is not allowed in Canada thanks to the unsupportive neurological community who appear to want to protect their professional status ahead of their patients’ quality of life. (My apologies, I digress.) The minister of health, late last year, finally announced that the federal government would fund clinical trials; this would start with phase 1

and phase 2 trials, which in reality show safety of the treatment and confirm connectivity of the treatment to the disease. These initial trials will a) take time to complete— time during which MS patients will continue to see their disease progress, and of course b) dollars— dollars that we know our health care system is already short of. There is more than enough evidence available from highly reputable researchers around the world to forego phase 1 and 2 trials here in Canada, but no, our government wants to waste time and money re-inventing the wheel. So, Mr. Cannan, you state that your government is seeking direction on health care spending. Sir, I would suggest

you only have to look at the waste being created which, if eliminated, would certainly ease the financial burden. I would also suggest that it is time to fully review the System, maybe even a full Forensic Audit of where this huge amount of money is going. Maybe it’s only a matter of overhauling the System, but it may also be a case of huge inefficiences in the System that requires the use of the amount of dollars Canadian taxpayers are funding. Until such time as the System is “fixed”, then Canadians will never get the benefits they should be receiving and that the Canada Health Act says they are actually entitled to. Malcolm Roberts, Kelowna

Educated citizens form the foundation of nation building Express yourself Muskens from A10 created a political party which elected her as leader. She also allowed other political parties to be developed by the people and put forth a date for an election every four years. Six months later the first election took place and the new leaders of the land won based on their

platform of improving the current education system to help more people get high school diplomas, and college and university credentials. So what’s the moral of this story? There are many. Simply put, education is a building block for most countries. This story tells us that a well-educated population yields more

To the editor: Re: Ron Cannan’s MP’s Report: Seeking Direction On Desires for Health Care Spending, Jan. 20 Capital News. Prior to Mr Cannan’s report, it was already known that the Canadian provinces had rejected the federal government’s “take it or leave it” proposal. Mr. Cannan suggests his government is “seeking direction,” however, the plan proposed by his finance minister was made without any negotiations with the provinces. Wouldn’t “negotiation” be part of “seeking direction”? As the Ontario Minister of Health, Deb Matthews suggested, the basic model of health care in Canada needs to change.

Quinn excited to work with top prospects Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Pat Quinn says it’s all about the players. Mark Recchi says he’s glad he will have Rockets’ coach Ryan Huska to lean on. And Bruce Hamilton says he thinks it will be a great game that could have some nastiness to it. Quinn, Recchi and Hamilton were on a conference call Tuesday, talking about the 2012 Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, to be held in Kelowna Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. Quinn and Recchi are honorary coaches for the game and will be joined on their respective benches by the Rockets’ Huska (with Recchi) and the Vancouver Giants’ Don Hay (with Quinn). “I’m looking forward to meeting these kids and talking to them about their life in hockey and what might lie ahead for them,” said Quinn, the longtime NHL coach and manager. “The game of hockey is the same all the time but what’s important is the people in it. These kids are at such an exciting time in their lives. Hockey is becoming a way of life for them.” The CHL/NHL Top

Prospects Game will feature the top 40 NHL draft eligible players currently playing in the CHL. It’s the cream of the crop when it comes to the next wave of NHL players and nearly 300 NHL scouts and general managers will be in Kelowna watching the action. “It’s best against best,” said Quinn of the prospects game which began in 1996. “Since ‘96 It’s been a great place to see the kids challenge each other and show they are high quality players. It’s a unique setting that provides for some excitement.” Two Kelowna Rockets players will be able to test themselves against the rest of the 2012 NHL draft class as Rockets captain Colton Sissons and defenceman Damon Severson will take part in the game. For Recchi, who retired from hockey after winning the Stanley Cup with Boston last season, he says it’s a chance for the players to show if they have that special quality that will make them a star. “I want to see how they react to things: Are they a deer-in-the-headlights or are they calm and cool?” said Recchi, who twice mentioned the fact he would leave the real

coaching up to the Rockets Huska. “It’s an honour to be part of this. I’m glad Husk will be beside me because it’s a little different than coaching my 10-year-old son.” Following the conference call the Rockets announced there were still 2,000 tickets available for the event, which features a skills competition on Tuesday and the game on Wednesday at Prospera Place. Rockets GM Hamilton said local hockey fans have a great opportunity to see all of the best NHL prospects gathered together in one place. “When we bid on the event it was an opportunity to get something for our fans and I’m hoping they rally around us and the building is full,” said Hamilton. “I don’t think people really understand how special the game is. It’s a game where the players compete hard against each other. I think with the quality of players that are going to be on the ice fans will get a great show.” Tickets are available through www.selectyourtickets.com, at the Prospera Place box office or by calling 250-7625050.

Sales landed three double axels and two triple jumps, as well as stepping out of a fully rotated triple lutz—the only one

OKM Huskies’ rugby team bound for Ireland this spring Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A one-sided loss to L.V. Rogers last year at the B.C. high school rugby championship in Abbotsford wasn’t the outcome the Okanagan Mission Huskies were looking for. But what resulted from their meeting on the fpitch with the Nelsonbased school, members of the Huskies are likely to remember for a lifetime. The L.V. Rogers’ team had taken a trip to Ireland earlier in the year for a series of exhibition games, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. To members of the OKM squad, it sounded

like a great idea. “The Nelson team had been to Ireland to play and they were telling us about what a great time they had,” said Huskies’ coach Ryan Holly. “One of our boys said ‘Why can’t we do the same?’ “So we asked around and found out there was a lot of interest from our players and parents. We kind of scrambled to get things set up before school ended in June, got things up and running, and now it’s reality. We’re excited to be going.” Twenty-one Huskies players, two coaches and five chaperones will be in Ireland March 12 to 20 for the exhibition tour. OKM will play games

a country where rugby is considered a major sport. “It’s a place where people are passionate about the game, it’ll be a

really neat environment for the boys,” said Holly. “We’re going to play three matches, our goal is to learn a lot. We’re not really going with the mindset of winning, it’ll be tough. But if we do manage to sneak one out, that would be great, too. It’s all about the experiences we’ll have.” The last time an OKM team crossed the ocean for a rugby tour was 1979— the same year coach Holly was born—when the Huskies travelled to the U.K. “As a coach it’s something I always wanted to do,” said Holly. “The boys and parents were so keen about it, it made it a lot easier to plan for with such an enthusiastic

Westside Warriors take second at K-Town Showdown

ready for a shot on the Spokane net, while teammate Tanner Balkenhol follows up during K-Town Showdown atom development hockey tournament Saturday at Rutland Arena.

The Westside Warriors tier 2 team battled their way to the final before settling for second best at the K-Town Showdown atom development hockey tournament in Kelowna. The Warriors, some of whom were battling the flu bug throughout the weekend, dropped a 4-3 decision in overtime to the Spokane Chiefs in Sunday’s championship game at Rutland Arena. “It was a really good game,” said Warriors’ head coach Neil Eisenhut. “We had 15 shots in the third period, their goalie just stood on his head.

“We had a bunch of sickness, but our guys battled really hard. I’m so proud of them.” The Warriors won their first four games of the tournament, defeating the Kelowna Thunder 3-2, Kamloops 6-1 and Penticton 8-2 in the round robin. In the semifinal, Westside downed the Kelowna Hurricanes 6-3. The Kelowna Thunder also made it as far as the semfinals, before going down to Spokane in a shootout.

Florida trip opens eyes of young players Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Thirteen aspiring young softball players from B.C. had an opportunity to audition their talents earlier this month, while lapping up some Florida sunshine at the same time. Kelowna coach and former NCAA player Joni Frei oversaw a five-day trip to the Southern U.S. where local talent took part in a college exposure event: The Rising Stars Winter Showcase. More than 100 coaches from every university and college level— NCAA, NAIA, and junior colleges—were on hand to observe and evaluate players from across North America. Twelve of the 13 local players, aged 14 to 17, are members of Frei’s Kelowna-based Okanagan Elite Gold Softball Association. After some sightseeing, including a visit to Embry Riddle University in Daytona Beach—noted for its aviation and aerospace programs—the girls headed to Fort Lauderdale Jan. 6 and 7 for the showcase.

Friday was set aside for the individual skills event. On Saturday and Sunday, teams took to the field in Fort Lauderdale and played five 90-minute games. “They didn’t keep score, it wasn’t the normal game situation so I was able to give all the girls equal playing time,” said Frei. “Being indoors so much here during the winter, it was really nice for them to get outside. “The girls did well and got better as the weekend went along,” Frei added. “It was a benchmark, it gave them an idea of where they stood. It was chance to get some exposure, and gave them a concept of what they need to look like to get attention from college coaches.” One of the local players who made the trip was Hannah Vesper, a 17-yearold catcher/third baseman from Cawston. For Vesper, who is seriously considering a scholarship offer from Middle Georgia College for next season, the four-day tour was both fun and informative. “It was a great experience, it was nice to get

outdoors and play some games,” said Vesper, who also joined Frei for a similar trip last year to Georgia. “It gives you a goal to work towards, shows us where we need to be, and how we have to be playing to get attention from colleges coaches. “Before I got involved with Joni,” Vesper added, “I had no idea about scholarships or the opportunities out there. You learn so much about making contact with coaches, sending out emails and promoting yourself.” Following the showcase, the team split up into two groups and headed to either Miami or Key West for some shopping and a last chance to experience Florida. “On top of the softball, it was just a really neat life experience, a lot of the girls had never even been out of Canada before,” Frei said. “It’s something for them all to remember.” For more information on the Okanagan Elite Gold Softball program, visit okanaganelitegold.teampages.com, or call Joni Fret at (250) 5758705. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Heartburn Reflux

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 95% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy 7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.

NEWS ▼ SENIORS HOUSING

24-hour supervision in demand I was asked recently to comment on the housing situation for seniors. My reply did not talk about supportive housing or low-income housing, but rather on the group of seniors with a housing need that’s not so apparent. These are the seniors who are living in their own homes, in supportive housing or with families but have a level of dementia that makes them no longer safe to live in their environments. It is only when families try to deal with parents with, for example, dementia that this group is noticed and still only by their families, not the public in general. While we read in the media about the serious lack of beds required for these seniors, it is one of those situations that people can’t truly comprehend until it is their parents in need of this care. These families experience a huge emotional and financial cost. Tjat’s why I believe this group of seniors ares

SENIORS’ CONCERNS

Sharen Marteny deserving of our attention in meeting their housing needs. I feel for the homeless seniors who have dementia and no one who could help is aware of them. The seniors do not require 24-hour nursing care but 24-hour supervision. They can cause microwave fires, forget to eat even when food is prepared and available, put the wrong type of cream on their faces causing damage to the skin, obsess with shaving until their skin is raw, take hearing aid batteries thinking they are pills, or go for a walk outside and are not able to find their way back. I work with families who have parents who require 24-hour supervision.

These families are doing the best that they can, but they are increasingly frustrated, burned out and emotionally exhausted. Trapped in this kind of care cycle, they don’t readily know what options of care there are for their parents. Families are concerned that their parents have to fall and break a hip or go outside and get lost before their parents can move into a safe facility. Even when the health care system puts in as many services as possible, the families still worry about their parents because rarely can families be available 24-hours to oversee their parents. Not everyone is meant to be a caregiver and this could lead to elder abuse. Families too need to live their lives or there will be illness, missed working days and divorce. These are costs to society that show up in other ways. Families need to learn how to cope and take action to help their parents.

MBSS hoping to ﬁnd their bearings in Nova Scotia BY JEREMY FLETT Come February, the high school basketball season is in full force, with teams from all over BC competing in numerous tournaments across the province. One team, however, is heading in a different direction for a tournament this year. The Mount Boucherie Bears are heading to the coast, but not the closest one. Coach Kelly Broderick has entered the AAA senior boys team into the legendary Coal Bowl Classic, in New Waterford, Nova Scotia. Rather than thinking about wins and losses while there, Broderick is enforcing the principles of camaraderie within the team, while giving the boys an opportunity to experience an area of Canada

that most of them haven’t visited before. The tournament, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, is a national invitational boy’s high school basketball tournament. The Coal Bowl Classic is held at Breton Education Centre, in the small town of New Waterford, and runs from January 30 to February 4. The majority of the approximate population of 7700 is expected to attend the tournament, which is held to highlight not just the town’s basketball passion, but the century old connection between coal-mining and Nova Scotia basketball. The tournament is planned so that students will not only compete on the court, but will participate in school-

sponsored educational, social and cultural activities as well. Team members will also partake in scheduled tours relating to the mining industry. Broderick, who has been at Mount Boucherie since 2005, believes that the Bears can do a lot of damage in the tournament, but realizes what the trip should be about. “It’s a part of Canada that the boys have never experienced before,” said Broderick, speaking of the 12-man Bears squad. “The whole town shuts down for a week, and welcomes teams from all over the nation, so it’ll deﬁnitely be a different experience for the guys.” After the team returns home, they play ﬁve games

within the Okanagan before heading to the Valley Championships. It is a team goal for the Bears to compete against the KSS Owls in the Valley Finals, a squad that has been their main rival for many years. The Owls are currently the number one ranked team in the province, an accomplishment that is respected highly by the Bears. “As much of an accomplishment as that is, if we execute our gameplan, we have the guts, courage and work ethic to compete with anyone,” said Broderick. Watch the Bears and Owls play at KSS on February 21, before both teams compete in the Valley Championships from March 1 to 3 at South Kamloops Secondary School.

MR. WONG leading a drumming circle. Global service club was responsible for organizing the event, with all the proﬁts going to help a rural Ecuadorian village. The annual event relies

on community and school support, and without the generosities of so many people it would not be as successful as it has been.

Mount Boucherie Fine Arts Night BY SIMON BUCK On January 18, Mount Boucherie Secondary held its annual Fine Arts Night. The event started at noon on Wednesday with music and dance, but the main event took place at seven in the MBSS multi-purpose room. The MidNight Kicks, a grade 11 jazz combo, opened the night, and were followed by performances by the dance team, the grade 11 dance class, and the drama classes. The skits that were acted out were in the style of Commedia dell’arte, which is 16 century Italian theatre. Many masks and remarkable costumes were used. Art projects created by students were also displayed in the classrooms. The entrance fee was just $2 and baked goods were also being sold throughout the evening. For a chance to see the MidNight Kicks and other bands from Mount Boucherie, the annual band concert will be held February 15 and 16 at the Kelowna Community Theatre, and the dance classes will perform again in June.

Mount Boucherie’s 30 Hour Famine By Matthew Wizinsky On February 24 and 25, students from the Mount Boucherie Rotary Interact Club, and all student participants will take part in the 30 Hour Famine starting at 9am Friday and ending the next day. Students who have pledged and submitted the entrance fee will be part of a movement that raises money for our chosen charitable organization, The Horn of Africa, which is a non proﬁt organization from Enderby. Students must not eat for a

full 24 hours. Participants stay at school after classes, and sleep there. The night will involve games, movies, and all sorts of fun activities. At the end of our famine, a breakfast is held in celebration. Most students raise around $100 from their pledges, and about $3000 is fundraised from the entire event. If you wish to participate, or donate, contact the Mount Boucherie Rotary Interact, or donate to any student asking for a pledge.

mbss student opinion...

Cutting costs and opportunities By TAYLOR CHARRON While the idea of exams this time of year often brings a great deal of stress on most students, it also provides beneﬁcial opportunities – or at least, it used to. Earlier this year, the provincial government made the decision to cut all optional provincial exams in British Columbia in order to slash costs. However, this choice, though it may save the government a dime, is proving to be

quite detrimental for the plans of many grade 12 students. Although the option of taking an additional exam was not typically popular among some students, the possibilities of obtaining scholarships that came with the completion of these tests was, at least to say, alluring for students requiring ﬁnancial assistance for their post-secondary years. With this option now nonexistent, the possibilities of scholarships through provincial

testing are now limited to ﬁve mandatory exams taken throughout the course of the high school years – some of which grade 12 students were told in their grade 10 year did not count towards any scholarship money. Therefore, grade 12 students, who may have a 4.0 GPA currently, are scrambling to retest grade 10 exams in order to be eligible for provincial scholarship money. Many students have also completed optional grade 12

provincial tests in previous years in order to get ahead, only to realize they do not count for anything because of the new system. Ultimately, the elimination of these exams may save the government’s money in that it cuts labour and paper costs; although, is it really worth the price if successful students are unable to afford their future schooling because of their current school system’s limitations?

Hedley kicks off Canadian tour in Kelowna Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna probably shouldn’t be the place that Hedley starts their tour. Lead singer Jacob Hoggard realizes this while recalling a Kelowna memory. “We played Wakefest there a few years back. We kind of brag about how we are the reason why Wakefest doesn’t happen anymore,” says Hoggard, laughing. “The year we played, a giant fight broke out in the beer gardens. We were accused of inciting a bit of a riot, but that’s entirely hearsay. We certainly had nothing to do with the outcome of the situation. “Maybe it’s not the best place to start a tour; it might have been better to end in Kelowna.” Since the schedule has already been finalized, Hedley will kick off its Shipwrecked tour at Prospera Place on Feb. 10.

When asked how he has been gearing up for the next two months on the road, Hoggard lets out more of his sense of humour. “I drink and I smoke. I just stay out late for the most part: The later the better,” says Hoggard, sarcastically.

‘‘

…WHEN YOU’RE ON TOUR…YOU’RE ESSENTIALLY WEATHERING THE STORM.

“It’s been quite the opposite. I’m exercising every day. I’ve been doing hot yoga every day as well as rehearsing two hours a day and I’ve just been trying to eat really healthy.” Hoggard notes that he has also been reading motivational books about

mountain climbing for inspiration. He compares doing a tour with climbing a mountain. “In a lot of those situations, those people have to train and build up enough strength to last to the top of the mountain,” said Hoggard. “You really aren’t exercising when you’re on tour; you’re not building muscle mass or creating more stamina. You’re essentially weathering the storm because it can really sort of wear you down. “I’m essentially trying to build up enough strength to last the next two months.” Some might be surprised to hear that physical training is an important part of preparing for an all Canadian tour, but Hoggard suggests that his stage presence makes it quite necessary. “For me, it is very much a physical performance. It’s a very big stage and I try to cover every

The tour will feature new songs from the band’s fourth studio album, Storms. “Storms is such an exciting record for us. I’d say it is our most accurate record to date in terms of really representing where we’re at in our own lives.

songs in an evening; that takes a lot out of you.”

“It is a testament to not just where we’ve come, but where we’re at in terms of what it really takes to do something like this and how it can relate to everybody…it validates the struggles that everybody goes through in (their) lives.” The album’s first single, Invincible, gained favour with the band’s fans

and radio stations across the country. “To see the response and to hear our fans really embrace the song was very encouraging and really assisted in building the momentum that we’ve got going right now.” Hoggard claims those fans are aged eight to 80 and the band is not trying to cater to solely one demographic. “For as much as our fans might have fallen in love with us for a song that we wrote six years ago, the trick isn’t to emulate that because they’re not looking for that exact same thing anymore either. “We’ve realized if you try to please everybody, you’re destined to fail. We’re staying true to what we do and staying true to where we’re at.” Hedley plays at Prospera Place on Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available through www.selectyourtickets.com.

Rita explains, “This espresso bar is a place for business, a place to gather, socialize, relax with friends or dine in solitude—a place to always feel welcome.” Finally, a cozy, adult, coffee shop to host a business meeting downtown or hang out and work on a laptop.

Wherever you look, there is a new recipe or nutrient breakdown on this green vitamin machine. Kale is very high in beta-carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C and lutein and reasonably rich in calcium. A member of the cabbage family, this cruciferous veg’s nutri-

ent richness stands out in three particular areas: antioxidant nutrients, anti-inflammatory nutrients and anti-cancer nutrients in the form of glucosinolates. Now, what to do with kale? I tend to like the flat leaf variety—it is a bit more tender than the curly kind, but is harder to find. Make sure to remove hard ribs before preparing and wash. I usually just quickly sauté some chopped kale in a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and garlic, finishing with a spray of Bragg seasoning. See Schell A23

Alexander seeks places beyond human footprint C

anadian artist David Alexander relocated to Kelowna from Saskatoon in the summer of 2003, just in time for the devastating Okanagan Mountain Park fire that destroyed many homes and made national news. His luck with decision making is not always bad, however, and he has successfully worked and painted here for the past eight years. Interestingly enough, although Alexander works with the landscape, he has not painted much of the Okanagan, per se (with the exception of some of its southerly, arid places), but prefers travelling to remote and wild locations with as little of the human footprint as possible for his ideas and subjects. Born in Vancouver, Alexander grew up on the west coast and had been living in the Kootenays before his move to Saskatchewan in 1980. Inspired by the other participants at an artist’s workshop at Emma Lake, Saskatchewan that he attended in 1979, Alexander then moved to study at the University of Saskatchewan to obtain his

The challenge of learning to paint the prairie was a daunting one, especially until it came to him one day that the prairie landscape is much more about the sky than the land. From then on he was off and running. He also explored the natural world in other settings, such as the Arctic, Iceland, Greenland, and northern Scotland. And every summer he has hiked and sketched in the Rockies and in the mountains of British Columbia. In celebration and acknowledgement of his career to date, the Kelowna Art Gallery has organized a survey show of his work, spanning three decades of painting, which opened this month and will go on a national tour next year.

Musical or Comedy and Best Original Score. Based upon the novel of the same name, One for the Money is an action comedy starring Katherine Heigl as Stephanie Plum, who is out of work and out of cash. Desperate, she turns to her disreputable bail bondsman cousin Vinnie for work Despite having no equipment, training or particular skill, she starts chasing bail jumpers. Without handcuffs and armed with pepper spray, she goes after one of Vinnie’s biggest bail-jumpers, a former vice cop and murder suspect who just happens to be the guy who seduced and dumped her back in high school. Not only will he result in a hefty payday for her, but will be a satisfying payback. In Man on a Ledge, an ex-cop and now wanted fugitive (Sam Worthington) stands on the ledge of a highrise building while a hard-living New York Police Department negotiator (Elizabeth Banks) tries to talk him down. The longer they are on the ledge, the more she realizes that he might have an ulterior objective. The Grey reunites

Produced by brothers Ridley and Tony Scott, The Grey was shot in Smithers. Back to the Sea is an animated adventure about a young flying fish named Kenny who lives in New York Harbour. He dreams of leading his family back to Barbados but gets captured and displayed in the fish tank of one of New York’s most famous restaurants.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ MOVIE REVIEWS

Seeing Extremely Loud…is worth—‘every single minute’ There have been more than a few movies themed around the tragic and world changing events of 9/11 but this one has a different perspective right from the get-go. I thought that Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock were way too high profile to be able to carry off the roles of Tom and Linda Schell, but I was wrong. (Wow, that rarely happens!) In fact, it wouldn’t have mattered if Mickey Mouse had been playing the dad because Thomas Horn, playing the role of the son Oskar, is so riveting you can forget that anyone else is in the show. This is one genius kid. Horn won $31,000 during Kids Week on Jeopardy and this led to an audition in 2010. This is Horn’s first acting job and ‘Oscar worthy’ doesn’t even begin to describe what he does on the screen. At home, he speaks three languages and is now learning Mandarin and he is simply extraordinary in this part. The show takes us on a journey that begins with the close relationship between father and son; a relationship torn apart by the events of 9/11. As far reaching as that tragic event was, the movie introduces us to one boy and his dad, Thomas Schell, a jeweler who

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen had a Monday morning meeting at the top of the second tower on that fateful day. Oskar, who likely has Asperger syndrome, although not diagnosed, loses a father and the one person with whom he has a bond. Their games of adventures and problem solving, brought the otherwise socially absent child into a place of fun and engagement. His father’s death leaves Oskar distraught and lost, but at the same time provides a quest to find the last mysterious item that his father left behind. That quest takes over his life. His relationship with his mother (Sandra Bullock) is almost non-existent at the outset of this film, and so Oskar turns to his grandmother’s (Zoe Caldwell) renter, played by Max von Sydow, himself a social misfit, as he pursues his quest with all the energy and brilliance that he can muster, despite his obvious challenges. Best line: “If the sun were to explode, you wouldn’t know it for eight minutes, the world would still be bright and it would

seem warm.” (A bit chilling I know, but who knew, right?) While adults feature in this film, this is really a show from a child’s point of view—and what a child! It will make you laugh, it will make you cry and it will make you think of more oxymorons (jumbo shrimp?) than you ever have. It’s worth it— every single minute. I give this five reels.

CONTRIBUTOR

There seems to be a lot of commercials on TV these days about dating and receiving e-matches. The tag line is something about “not more dates but better dates.” Do you have these same thoughts about volunteering? “Finding the right organization and way of volunteering is complex, admits Avril Paice, director of community investment, United Way CSO. When Avril first moved to Kelowna as a college student, she decided to volunteer to meet people, gain experience and feel good about helping someone. “I met with about five organizations and became frustrated trying to find a fit, but then I stumbled upon the Okanagan Boys

and Girls Clubs,” she explains. For the next several years, Avril volunteered there and gained confidence in her career path. Now Avril takes a different route to decide about her volunteer commitments. “This year I tried out the volunteer profile feature on kcr.ca and was impressed by how quickly it helped me find the role I was seeking,” she says. Completing the profile helped her think through when, how and why she wants to volunteer in 2012. She thought about her availability, ideal locations and areas of interest. These were saved and submitted. What interests you? There are 19 areas from which to choose.

Four reels for good acting and a chance to get another glimpse of what our lives were like before

technology took us down the yellow brick road.

TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY

I also saw Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy based on the 1974 novel by John le Carre and it looks like it was filmed in the ’70s. There is nary a cell phone, computer, or fancy car in the whole movie. It’s a movie, filmed in the gloom, rain and in gritty contrast to the crystal clear cinematography that we have today. Le Carre was himself a member of the British Foreign Service. His work of fiction still stands today even though the Cold War is long over, the suspense and mystery of a possible “mole” at the top of British intelligence gives us an interesting, if a bit confusing, show worth seeing. As the tale unfolds, we try to place the characters in the storyline and keep them all straight, but you know, I liked this one.

Boucherie Rd. upgrade called ‘priority project’ Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

It’s no secret that Boucherie Road connects tourists and residents to some of the most beautiful wineries in the Okanagan. It’s also no secret that areas of the road itself are far from beautiful. With the District of West Kelowna council’s decision on Tuesday, that will likely change. Council agreed to move the Boucherie Road upgrade—to “wine route standard”—as a priority project at the Jan. 31 budget meeting. Early blueprints of the improved stretch of Boucherie Road—from Highway 97 to Stuart Road—show a sidewalk on one side of the street, bike lanes going both ways, curb and gutter, street lighting, retaining walls, a storm sewer system and a 1.8 metre planted median in the middle of the road. The timing of the Boucherie Road upgrades will be convenient as the Lakeview Heights Phase Seven sanitary sewer project is in the advanced design stage. As part of this project, the installation of a new sanitary sewer system and the replacement of the existing water system on Boucherie Road are being proposed. Council agreed that it is cost effective to upgrade this section of Boucherie Road in conjunction with Lakeview Heights Phase Seven, rather than making further improvements at a later date. Mayor Doug Findlater was impressed by the designs that were presented to council. “This is quite spectacular to see. It’s an important neighbourhood; the entrance to it is not very attractive right now,” Findlater said. “This would be a dramatic improvement on what’s a really bad road for drivers as well as pedestrians and cyclists. “Yes it’s going to hurt the reserves, but it makes infinite sense to do it when we’re tearing the road up anyway.” The only person to vote against the motion was Coun. Rick de Jong. He questioned the necessity of having a median in the middle of the road. “I can follow the need for sidewalks, there’s a safety issue there. Bike lanes can also be looked at as a safety issue. I’m really struggling with this median in the middle,” said de Jong. He asked DWK staff if money could be saved by taking the median out of the design. Staff informed de Jong that taking out the median could save the district approximately $400,000; however, the median could be looked at as a safety feature because it will likely calm traffic. Other councillors were quick to indicate their support for keeping the median. Coun. Duane Ophus said it was a “critical” part of the design in order to make that stretch of road safer. The road upgrade will cost the district $2,602,000. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Teaching youngsters the science of fun Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

For some, thoughts of learning science go hand-in-hand with staring at a wall, drawing on a textbook and waiting for a school bell to ring. But Cindy Chepil is doing away with the boring connotations by spicing up the elements of science. Chepil’s franchise, High Touch High Tech, got working in the Okanagan in September, 2011. Its aim is to teach science in a fun and interactive way. “Everything is hands on. In school you typically learn from

a textbook; we learn from doing it. Everything is learned in a fun manner,” said Chepil. High Touch High Tech has been the highlight of birthday parties, school presentations and Saturday science sessions at the Westbank Museum. Chepil said that eight to 10 kids typically attend Science Saturdays at the museum. Many of those children are regular customers. “We actually started Science Saturdays in December, just to give it a try. The kids (who) signed up the first time loved it and then came the next time,” said Chepil. Chepil noted that many of

those children still come to the weekend science lessons on a regular basis. The Saturday sessions focus on High Touch High Tech curriculum, which is designed to be fun and interactive; however, Chepil said that many “in-school field trips” that she offers local schools present lessons based on the B.C. curriculum. The “scientists” who help instruct the Science Saturdays are all teachers, according to Chepil. “The (Science) Saturdays are more fun stuff. For example, on Feb. 11 we’re doing magnet makers. I don’t think there’s a learning outcome in the B.C. cur-

riculum, in any grade, that they need to learn about magnets. But it’s pretty cool, so we think they should learn about it.” Due to the success of the program Chepil plans to continue with Science Saturdays by featuring another set of eight-week sessions, starting in April. The program is geared for children ages six to 12 and each Science Saturday costs $10 plus HST. There are still sessions taking place, every Saturday, until March 3.

▼ DEFENCE MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

Personal injury case DMEs all about damage control W

ith a legal practice dedicated to a very narrow area of law, I often feel like a broken record when I am giving advice to my clients. The same issues and procedures come up again and again and again because each case is so very similar. I have joked that I should make a short video for each piece of advice and set my clients up in my boardroom to watch it. The more I joke about it, the more I’m thinking it could be a really good idea. If I feel like a broken record, I probably sound like one. With recorded videos, I should be able to make them more interesting than a broken record. Perhaps I could include dancing girls (dancing guys, of course, for my women clients).

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott One broken record consultation is advice I give to clients who will be interviewed and examined by a medical specialist the insurance company has hired to help defend the claim. I call that interview/ examination a Defence Medical Examination or a DME. DMEs occur regularly in personal injury cases. I don’t like them, but I will readily admit that they add fairness to our justice system. I don’t like them because it feels like sending a lamb to the slaughter to send an injured crash victim to an insurance com-

pany funded “hired gun” who is paid to come up with medical opinions that will hurt the case. The fairness comes from giving the insurance company an opportunity to independently verify physical findings and to explore alternate medical opinions. There’s no way the DME could possibly assist the case. The medical opinions resulting from the DME belong to the insurance company, and if they are favourable to my client they certainly will not share those opinions with me. My advice, therefore, is not about making the most of the DME, it’s all about damage control. The only damage I am concerned about is damage to my client’s credibility. I have written several times about how important credibility is to a personal injury claim, par-

ticularly given the fact that most injuries sustained in car crashes are invisible, unverifiable by x-rays, CTs or MRIs. The only reason anyone knows you hurt is because you tell them. Successfully attack your credibility and your case goes down the toilet. If you fail to fairly describe what your physical condition was before the crash, the DME specialist will note that in the report. The defence will use that failure to argue that nothing coming out of your mouth should be believed. This problem can be avoided by reviewing your clinical history before a DME. There is no need to memorize anything. A simple review will suffice. Then, when being interviewed, give honest and forthright answers. The other minefield is

the physical examination. If you fail to cooperate fairly during the physical examination, that will also be noted and used against you. Medical specialists can quite easily see when patients fail to give full effort or have exaggerated pain reactions during the assessment. This can be avoided by simply doing your best and being honest. There is a common thread in all of the legal advice I give to my clients. It applies, without exception, to every circumstance. It’s a lesson our parents tried to teach us. Simply do your best and be honest. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to

your case. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law

in West Kelowna.

Council opts not to financially support conservation campaign Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The Okanagan Basin Water Board wanted its Make Water Work program to work for the District of West Kelowna. But, in the end, the OBWB’s request for the district to match a $2,000 grant—above and beyond the $390,292 that the disttrict gave the OBWB in 2011—didn’t sit well with the majority of council. Corrine Jackson, with the OBWB, made a presentation to council on Tuesday, describing the Make Water Work water rconservation campaign. In 2010, an OBWB water supply and demand study raised concerns about rates of outdoor water use in the Okanagan. “The average Okanagan resident was found to be using 675 litres of water, per person per day, compared to 329 litres for the average Canadian,” said Jackson. In an effort to educate the public, the OBWB launched the Okanagan Water Wise website. The website explains water issues in the valley. “Taking the Water Wise campaign to the next

step, a valley-wide committee was (formed) this past June to help develop a specifically outdoor water conservation message,” said Jackson. This launched the first phase of the Make Water Work campaign, which included some media advertising, social networking and informational, easy to download, posters. Jackson explained the plans for phase two of the campaign to DWK council. The hope was that West Kelowna would get on board by pooling funds with other communities in

order to spread the message across the valley. The OBWB was requesting that the district contribute $2,000 into the valley-wide advertising campaign. Jackson said that there are benefits to pooling funds. She claimed that the district could save thousands in advertising dollars by pooling its money with other communities. She said those funds could be leveraged with the OBWB, other Okanagan local governments and the business community, and that the DWK would have its logo on all

Make Water Work materials. According to Jackson, Lake Country, Penticton, Armstrong, Kaleden, Oliver, Osoyoos and the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen have all shown interest in funding phase two of the program. Deciding whether or not to participate in the ad campaign was part of council’s agenda on Tuesday. DWK staff suggested that council not adopt the funding request. See Campaign A34

STAFF REPORTER

The MacLeods aren’t oblivious to the fact that life has treated them fairly well. So, instead of sitting back and basking in their good fortunes, the West Kelowna family want to do what they can to help others who haven’t had as many advantages. Tim, Elaine and their two children will be in Cambodia at the end of January to start a four month trip to work on volunteer projects with Samaritan’s Purse Canada. “We’re going over as a family and we’re going to

with them and reading to them.” According to Elaine, children as young as fiveyears-old get sucked into the human trafficking problem that has affected much of southeast Asia. “They have incredible problems with child trafficking and Cambodia is one of the locations where it’s particularly bad. “It’s a poor country and I think they’re still suffering in a lot of ways after the (Khmer) Rouge had their genocide from 1975-1979. That was only 33 years ago, so the country is still rebuilding.” The family is looking forward to their first stint of volunteering with Samaritan’s Purse to help make a difference. “The initiative is to do some good in the world and share our blessings with people in areas who

don’t have such fortunate lives. That’s why Tim and I are doing this.” Elaine is no stranger to travelling. She grew up in an Air Force family and has lived in Asia, Europe and Canada over the past 20 years. Two years ago, Tim and Elaine visited Cambodia. Even after returning home, their thoughts hadn’t left the country. “We felt really compelled to go back; we weren’t done with Cambodia,” said Elaine. The couple’s feelings were confirmed after they contacted Samaritan’s Purse and were informed that of all the places in the world, Cambodia is one of the locations that needs special attention: Specifically in the area of human trafficking. “We’re anticipating

that it’s going to be difficult and heart wrenching. Our living conditions are going to be a lot different than what they are now. We are open to that; we think that’s all part of doing what we’re going to do.” Tim feels positive about the trip and is encouraged by the work that various organizations have done to reduce the human trafficking problem in Cambodia. “There are some really positive things happening; they’re making headway like they never had before. There are 50 organizations working towards it, all in collaboration with each other. Starting right from education in villages to lawyers working with the local governments, trying to educate them how to stop it,” said Tim.

No added fiscal support for water board campaign

Oasis Medical Clinic 2145 Louie Drive Westbank

Campaign from A33 Staff noted that in 2011, the DWK funded over $390,000 to the OBWB. Coun. Duane Ophus was quick to move staff’s recommended motion that the district opt out of the funding opportunity. He said he was puzzled by the approach that

the OBWB had taken and felt that they should do the advertising campaign without trying to sell it to various communities as an add-on. Coun. Bryden Winsby disagreed with Ophus’s motion. “I don’t look at this as an extravagance; I think it’s a pretty worthwhile undertaking. The more people we can get to stop wasting water, the better,”

said Winsby. Mayor Doug Findlater agreed with Winsby. “To me it is a very simple equation: Put more money into it, it levers a little bit more money and you get more advertising for what’s an essential message about water,” said Findlater. A few members of council had mixed feelings on how much money, above and beyond the

$2,000, would be needed to get effective advertising value. This was especially a concern for Coun. Gord Milsom, who also mentioned he was uncomfortable with the fact that the OBWB was asking for an additional $2,000 after the district had already provided over $390,000 to the water board. “I’m sure it’s a good program…but I don’t

know how the other $390,000 is being spent, and you ask now to make a decision on $2,000— it just doesn’t feel good to me. There’s just not enough information.” The motion to not participate in funding the Make Water Work campaign was passed with a vote of 4-3. Coun. David Knowles, Winsby and Findlater were all opposed to the negative motion.
