District says WFN land developers get unfair break Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna is asking to enter an informal dispute resolution process after hearing School District 23 will not be applying school site development cost charges to residential developers on Westbank First Nation land. In a letter to the district of West Kelowna, school board chair Rolli Cacchioni explained School District 23 would not be asking Westbank First Nation to participate in the charge, due to the criteria of provincial legislation around the school site acquisition fee. “Westbank First Nation lands fall under federal jurisdiction, as well; the Westbank First Nation is a self-governed nation which is not defined as a local government.” Cacchioni noted the addition of any deferred development cost charge is a challenge for developers. He wrote that such a charge needs to be weighed against the value of proper planning and placement of infrastructure. “This charge will al-
low the School District to work with developers, local governments and the (B.C.) Ministry of Education to ensure that future land needs of the School District are addressed.” The board of education is asking West Kelowna council to rescind their motion and continue with approval of the school site acquisition charge. When originally approached in September of this year, West Kelowna opted to wait and see if Westbank First Nation would be included in the charge before approving it themselves. Coun. Duane Ophus noted approving the charge would put West Kelowna residents at a financial disadvantage. Mayor Doug Findlater said if the issue can’t be resolved, West Kelowna and the school district would enter an informal process to resolve the issue. He added that if not, the issue would go through a more formal and mediated process which Cacchioni hopes to avoid because of the cost to both parties. He pointed out the See Unfair A8

A MALE DRIVER described as being in his mid-20s by police is facing a charge of dangerous driving after crashing his car into a tree near the intersection of Highway 97 and Sexsmith Road at around 1:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon. The driver was treated for minor injuries and was transported to hospital. Police on scene noted that the car had summer tires without much tread left.

Snowfall causes ‘insane’ spate of accidents Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
It’s not even the end of November, and it’s weeks yet from the official start of winter, but all indica-
tions are it’s here, complete with crumpled metal and injuries from traffic accidents. Mario’s and Del Oro Towing reported it was “insane” Thursday as
staff tried to keep up with a steady barrage of calls from those involved in accidents or just stuck in the snow. But it’s to be expected with the first snow of the
season, even if it is a bit earlier than usual, commented the receptionist. The RCMP were not quite so accepting of the trend, warning drivers to assume all roads are icy
and unpredictable after seven traffic accidents occurred just during the morning drive into work. Environment CanSee Accidents A8

Aircraft mechanics remain in demand
Did you know—more than 20 per cent of children live below the poverty line in B.C. THIS YEAR’S GOAL… Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It’s stable, consistent and the jobs rarely fly away with a bad turn in the economy. Instructors at the Okanagan College aircraft mechanics program say they’re seeing plenty of uptake in the program with the downturn in the local job market—even in the face of layoffs at Flightcraft. “The big thing to understand is that we train for AME, M-licenced mechanics, so it’s not the same thing as the technicians getting laid off,” said Dale Keegstra, the program instructor whose been teaching for 20 years. With news Flightcraft had a 43-person layoff this year, Keegstra said he’s been getting plenty of questions about the sustainability of jobs in the industry and is glad he can present the program to prospective students as a way to achieve consistent employment during lean times. There are 28 different forms of technical certifications that allow one to work on an aircraft, from those who work on electrical systems to upholstery, but the aircraft maintenance engineers

INSTRUCTOR DALE KEEGSTRA (right) explains the ins and outs of a Garrett TPE331 to Dave Dusel, one of the younger students studying in the Okanagan College aircraft maintenance engineering program. the college is training hold the M-Licence which allows them to certify aircraft for flight. It’s a coveted ticket and one only 14 institutions in Canada teach. The training is considered the best in the world, placing those who graduate from the Aerospace campus in Vernon at the top of the pile when it comes time to get a job. “We don’t talk statistics, but before the recession, 85 to 90 per cent were being placed (in jobs),” said Keegstra. “Certainly, since the recession we’re nowhere near that, but particularly
‘‘
in the spring session, a lot are being placed.”
Given the cyclical nature of the industry, which ramps up with other industries like forestry and mining which require workers and goods to be flown in and out of remote locations, his students tend to find work in the spring and might have to wait for a few months if they graduate heading into fall. Once that first job is in hand, however, Keegstra said it’s extremely rare for an M-licensed mechanic to be laid off due to economic conditions. With the ability to certify aircraft for flight, the college graduates are generally

the one person a business needs to retain to keep the doors open and the contracts flowing. And there is never a glut of certified graduates coming onto the market at one time. “It’s really hard to ramp up our training to meet a high demand or to slow it down when times are tough,” he said. The aircraft engines cost in the range of $25,000 each, but the program has high overhead compared to a carpentry or auto mechanics program. “A couple of years ago they needed a lot of elec-

tricians in the valley so (the schools) trained hundreds and they’re now out of work due to the recession,” he said. “With the aircraft mechanics, you know the training is not going to flood the market.” The Okanagan College program began in 2003 and operates in conjunction with Northern Lights College in Dawson Creek, graduating 27 new mechanics from their Okanagan campus each year. It costs $12,000 to take the program and graduates are required to spend another two years apprenticing, beginning at an average rate of $17 an hour. Average wages in the industry hover around the $58,000 mark, although those willing to relocate can earn up to $100,000 depending on the work. The layoffs at Flightcraft this year were attributed to a low Canadian dollar. “We had aircraft coming in for maintenance, but they went somewhere else—where the dollar is lower—and that left a hole in our schedule,” Grant Stevens, Flightcraft’s human resources director, told the Capital News.

Sudden early winter requires adaptability for wildlife to survive

t was like being in the middle of a witch’s cauldron driving across the Bill Bennett bridge Wednesday morning in temperatures that were unseasonably far below freezing. The lake just steamed up into the atmosphere on either side of the bridge in what my Mom used to call mare’s tails. You could barely make out the lakeshore through it. However, a pair of black bears strolled through my yard the other evening, apparently unaware that they are supposed to hibernate in winter—and it feels like winter. Wildlife biologist Brian Harris in the environment ministry fig-

Judie Steeves ures they may have been dislodged from their winter den by a falling tree, or they just haven’t managed to find a suitable den yet—but they should be asleep. Assuming the bears were tucked up in a wilderness hidey-hole for the duration of winter, I had just replenished the feeder for the chickadees, nuthatches and finches, who were flitting about complaining about their diffi-
culty scrounging for seeds with a few inches of snow on everything. I felt sorry for them, with their bare little legs sticking out there in -15C, but Harris tells me they have no blood or muscles in those legs or their feet, so they don’t get cold. In fact, the muscles that control those tendons are tucked up underneath the feathers, where fluffy down keeps the warmth in. Of course, the sensible ones have already headed south to warmer climes, like Texas and California, Mexico and even South America. Once the feeder was filled, it didn’t take them long to discover it, even though I’d left it empty
for the last few months to avoid attracting bears and raccoons. Feathers all fluffed out, they appeared fat and sassy as they flocked to

gather underneath it, pecking at what’s been left by the pigs above and leaving a pattern of little tracks in the snow. In fact, once there’s a little snow on the ground, it’s fascinating to follow tracks. There are some great books around to help you identify what you’re seeing, but it can be a bit tricky. I’ve followed rabbit tracks, which are pretty easy because of the pattern, as well as bobcat tracks, but I can’t identify birds by their tracks, and little creatures like
the trough, chattering to each other and arguing over bits of seed like they hadn’t eaten in weeks. Other than the need for more feed than usual to keep warm and reduced options for open water, birds seem not much affected by the colder weather. We have a brook running by, so they’re never out of water around our house in winter, but the feed is another matter. They empty the feeder so quickly, it’s hard to keep up. Ground feeding birds

All of them read their own stories too, from the scent trails they follow or avoid. It’s intriguing to realize how many wild (or not) creatures might be in your own yard that you never see. Only right after a fresh snow can you read their stories in their tracks and see where their sniffers take them. It’s interesting to speculate what prompted them to take a different direction or suddenly break into a run from a walk—all part of the story you read in those tracks.

STEAKS SO TENDER YOU’LL FREAK!
â–ź AVOIDING ACCIDENTS
Police offer winter driving safety tips With the first arrival of serious snowfall this week, Kelowna RCMP are offering some seasonal driving tips to help motorists handle whatever winter blows at them. 1) Get your head in the game. It’s winter and driving habits must change to suit the season. Be aware that the road surface beneath your vehicle can change at any time so take feedback cues from your vehicle as
you turn, brake, accelerate. That will tell you if the road surface is changing. If it’s slippery, slow down. 2) Ensure that you do not become distracted by cell phones, iPods, or anything that would rob you of precious time to react. 3) Prepare your vehicle. Good winter or all season M+S tires, with a minimum of 3.5 mm of tread, are a must.
Use winter rated windshield washer fluid so you don’t get surprised by a “frosted� windshield when you use your wipers for the first time in cold weather, and change your wipers if they are getting old. Have a brush/scraper in your car and scrape all your windows, and brush all the snow off your vehicle. “No one likes to follow a snow storm on
wheels, and scraping half your windshield and none of your windows just doesn’t cut it for visibility when you’re driving,� said Const. Steve Holmes. 4) Be extra cautions when approaching intersections. Statistics show that the most injurious collisions happen at intersections. Start slowing down well before the intersection as intersection approaches can become icy due to repeated fric-
tional stopping. 5) Wear your seat belt. A large number of traffic fatalities are due to people not wearing their seat belts. 6) Don’t plan to be in a hurry. Plan to take more time. Urgency, due to perceived time constraints, can cause motorists to take risks in order to make up lost time. A collision will take away any time you might have gained and then some.
Trail Mix from A4 deer, who keep warm in winter with many layers of insulation. Harris says not only are their guard hairs hollow, trapping still air, which is the best insulator around, but underneath there’s a layer of fluffy hair that also traps air. Then there’s their leathery skin and a layer of fat underneath. Oil is critical to the ducks and coots and geese who are still swimming around on the water. It coats their feathers to keep them dry, at least. They make me shiver just to see them, but if they can’t feel the icy water on their bare legs and feet, maybe it’s not so bad. Even I’m okay bundled up and active, but I couldn’t curl up and go to sleep in the snow like wild birds and beasts can. I need a blazing fire and a warm drink. When the temperature plunges like this, or the snow blows around in drifts, maybe that’s why they stay out and I stay in. Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues for the Capital News.

City to host GranFondo cycling event Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Riding on the success of the massive cycling event that transformed Whistler earlier this year, two of the men behind GranFondo Canada rolled into Kelowna Thursday to announce an expansion into the Interior. “From the time we launched Whistler, we knew we had to go to Kelowna next,” said Matt Freeman. “Lake Okanagan is iconic… its beauty unsurpassed, and the cycling route around the lake is spectacular. It’s going to have all the feel of a classic European race.” The July 16, 2011 event will see 2,000 mount their bikes at the Delta Grand Hotel ride more than 140 kilometers around the lake, via Vernon, until they wind up back at the hotel. The course will have a 1,750 meter elevation gain, which organizers say, isn’t “unsurmountable.” GranFondos—which means “big ride” in Italian—are popular mass participation rides in Europe. A few have been staged in
the U.S. in recent years and the RBC GranFondo Whistler was the first held in Canada. While organizers forged new ground with the ride that spanned the Sea-toSky highway, it didn’t take long for the concept to grow roots and spark the interest of other entrepreneurs. Weeks before the GranFondo Canada event was brought to Kelowna, Axel Merckx, a former Belgian national cycling champion and Olympic medallist, announced he’d be launching an inaugural 150-km GranFondo ride in Penticton, July 10. While one might assume it’s dismal timing to have two mass cycling events held so near to one another, and so close in time, GranFondo Canada co-founder, Neil McKinnon brushed off the question. “We’ve had this on our calendar for many months, and we’ve been planning it since we had the (Whistler) event,” he said, explaining their events will run in Kelowna and Whistler next year, and Ontario and Albertan cities will be added to the roster by 2012. “Right now we have an
8,000 person database of people interested in coming to Kelowna,” he said. Considering they’re only anticipating capacity for 2,000 locally, Freeman implied there was plenty of room for both. And, more than anything, the word GranFondo is far from exclusive. “We can’t copyright the name, it’s like marathon,” Freeman said. “We just want to bring the same best practices and expertise to Kelowna.” While the event should shiver the timbers of cyclists, there’s an additional benefit to the community that GranFondo organizers can’t stop pointing out—it’s big money. “The median age for participants is 45 to 46 year-old men who are married with families,” Freeman said, pointing out the cyclists are generally as financially fit as they are physically. “With the event being held in the peak of the summer, they’re going to turn this into their family vacation, which is good for hotels and local businesses.” Mayor Sharon Shepherd said she recently spoke to the mayor
of Whistler, and he couldn’t stop singing the praises of the event. One of the mountain’s slowest weekends was miraculously morphed into a major draw for tourism businesses. “I heard nothing but excellent feedback,” said Shepherd, adding she’d been in talks with organizers for months before this announcement came to be. “He raved about the economic impact.” As of yet, nobody has empirical evidence of the economic bounty, but a report should be released in the next couple of weeks. Organizers will be working with Kelowna tourism, and municipalities along the lake to make the event run smoothly. “We want the community to feel a sense of ownership,” said Freeman. “We want to make it a signature event in the Okanagan.” To learn more, or register, go to http://www.rbcgranfondokelowna.com.

Nov. 5, and reported the incident to police a week later. The possible sighting involved a group of three males, all in their early 20s, going door to door in the north end of Nanaimo attempting to sell dream catchers. “The caller never spoke with the male who resembled Owen Rooney. He was standing off to the side but she said that she did get a good look at him,” read an RCMP press release. “(Rooney’s) parents have flown to Canada from their home in Australia to spearhead the search for their missing son. “The male spoken to at the caller’s door had a Jamaican accent and was
Owen Rooney wearing his hair in dreadlocks.” Const. Gary O’Brien, media spokesperson for the Nanaimo RCMP, cautioned there were no other reports received of these males going door to door and investigators in Grand Forks have advised that the majority of sightings were reported in the Cran-

brook and Kimberly area. “Having said that, we felt it would be prudent at this time to post Mr. Rooney’s picture in the possibility he has made his way to the Island,” said Const. O’Brien. Rooney, 24, is 5 foot 9 inches tall, 160 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen the evening of Aug. 14 sitting on a picnic table outside the Grand Forks Hospital. He departed from the hospital, leaving behind a backpack which contained clothing and his cell phone. Rooney’s wallet and ID papers were not amongst the items left behind and have not been located or turned in as found.
Rooney was at a music festival near Salmo in the days before he disappeared and had missed his ride back to Kelowna. He somehow found his way from Castlegar to Christina Lake, looking for some friends, and was assaulted. He was picked up by a police officer near Christina Lake who noticed Rooney had bruises on his face and suggested he get it checked out. He spent a night at the Grand Forks hospital before vanishing. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Nanaimo RCMP at 250– 754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-22-8477 or www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

Accidents from A1 ada meteorologist David Jones concedes the record-breaking cold temperatures that descended from the Arctic earlier this week were unusual. In fact, in this past century this is only the seventh time there have been low temperatures even approaching the -21 C recorded in Kelowna Wednesday. A new record was set for Nov. 24 for a low minimum temperature, he reported, breaking the last record set in 1993 of -17.9 C. In fact, throughout the Okanagan Valley, those

1993 temperature records were shattered, although Kelowna’s was the lowest temperature recorded this week, followed closely by Vernon’s -20.7 C. A series of low maximum daily temperatures were also broken this week, as the mercury failed to rise much above -9 C throughout the valley during the warmest part of the day Wednesday. However, clouds began moving in later that day from the Pacific, scouring out the dense, heavy, cold Arctic air that had slumped southward early in the week and caused temperatures to
plunge, he explained. That brought snow flurries, and created Thursday’s traffic snarls as drivers declined to reduce speeds and adjust their driving habits to conform to icy conditions. It’s just a taste of what’s to come this winter, as the impact of conditions way out in the Pacific Ocean begin to be felt in the Interior of B.C. Jones notes that statistically we don’t usually see the impacts of La Nina until near the end of December or in January through to spring. La Nina is an equatorial Pacific Ocean pattern
of slightly colder than normal temperatures which has a marked effect on climate in various parts of the world. In this area, it normally results in colder, snowier winters. Accumulations of five to 10 centimetres of snow are expected, as temperatures gradually warm up, rising above freezing by the middle of next week. Another Arctic outbreak is not forecast for at least the next seven to 10 days, when there’s a higher likelihood of Arctic cold, said Jones. Normals for this time of year are in the range of -2 C to 2 C. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

WFN land developers avoid school levy Unfair from A1 district of Peachland has also experienced issues around the charge for future school sites. Findlater said the school district is correct that First Nations land falls under federal jurisdiction, but he did not understand why they could not ask for some kind of arrangement. “If people living on and units built on reserve are not contributing, then we all contribute a little bit more.”

Council carried a motion to write to School District 23 detailing the West Kelowna position on the charge, and rec-
ommending they proceed to the first stage of a reconciliation process, along with Peachland if applicable.
The school sites acquisition charge is placed on residential developers to help fund the purchase of land for schools in the future. When the charge is in place, the school district can receive funding from the ministry of education as well for land purchases. School District 23 expects enrolment to grow and schools to be at or over capacity by 2018 across the Central Okanagan. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

▼ WATER USE
Opinion poll shows fresh water supply a concern in B.C. Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
B.C. residents do care about their fresh water, not only for drinking, but also for wildlife and for agriculture—but most are unaware that the province has embarked on a rewrite of the Water Act. A phone poll of 835 B.C. residents shows that 86 per cent of ordinary people, selected at random, feel fresh water is extremely important to prosperity and quality of life, with another 12 per cent rating it at fairly important; and 91 per cent agreed that it is B.C.’s most precious resource. The poll was conducted by McAllister Opinion Research and commissioned by the World Wildlife Fund and the Vancouver Foundation, to assess public support for Water Act modernization in B.C. The poll’s results reinforce the work being
done by the Okanagan Basin Water Board, concludes its executive-director, Anna Warwick Sears. Governments at all levels should be aware of the support amongst people in the community for changes to infrastructure to improve water quality and quantity; protection of water and water conservation projects, she noted. Obviously, she said, investment in human resources in the area of water management is the right thing to do; particularly a combination of smart people and smart equipment. Diagnostics such as water monitoring equipment are just as important in watersheds as diagnostic equipment is in hospitals, she added. The survey results indicated that even in times of water scarcity, people believe the top priority (after drinking water) should be water for survival of nat-
ural species and aquatic life such as salmon, at 45 per cent; and agricultural production, at 38 per cent. Nature came out on top in a question about people’s concern about the impact of water shortages in the next decade, with 54 per cent very concerned about habitat for aquatic life like salmon and trout, 38 per cent very concerned about groundwater levels, 31 per cent very concerned about conflicts over access to water and 29 per cent about food and agricultural production. In fact, nature should be a priority in managing water use, according to 72 per cent, while jobs and the economy should be tops according to 20 per cent. Of the four geographic areas of the province, those of us in the southern interior were the most concerned about the impact of water shortages in the coming decade, particu-
larly for fish, in groundwater levels and for outdoor recreation. The majority of respondents, about twothirds, feel that current rules governing water use in B.C. are not enough to ensure the future sustainability of the resource, while about a quarter feel the current rules are adequate. A whopping 84 per cent did not realize that the province is in the middle of a Water Act modernization process Tony Maas, director, freshwater program for WWF Canada, said he hopes the survey results encourage the government to carry on with the Water Act reforms it is working on, with priorities for the environment and agriculture, as the survey indicated people want. The survey shows government what’s on the minds of people in B.C., but the message is not only for the province, but also
its citizens. They should understand the issues, he commented. The question of whether water should be sup-
plied based on a system of First in Time, First in Right (FITFIR) should be discussed more, as should be legal protection, such
as in a reserve, for water for the environment and for agriculture, he said. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

The excessive costs of sin
I
t’s an obscenity—exceeded only by the obscenity of the crimes and the man who committed them The recent revelation that the costs of bringing serial-killer Robert Pickton to justice have topped $100 million should outrage each and every B.C. taxpayer. According to figures released by the B.C. Ministry of the Attorney General, the police investigation, trial and costs of apprehending, trying and convicting the serial killer amount to $102.8
million since 2001. And that isn’t counting more than $30 million more in RCMP costs picked up by the federal government, or the price of Pickton’s failed appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. The latest figures reveal that we, the taxpayers, forked over $11.7 million to his defence team. To keep him fed, clothed and incarcerated, just to this point, has cost $737,000 alone. Some would say that no price is too high to catch and convict a callous murderer who preyed on
some of the most defenseless in our flawed society. There is no question that spending money was necessary. But an RCMP investigation that cost $70 million, not even counting what the Vancouver Police Department spent—to little apparent effect—in investigating a rash of missing women cases? There has to be a better way, and former attorney general Wally Oppal should be asking some very hard questions in his inquiry of why it took so long to
follow up the leads that ultimately led to Pickton’s arrest. What difference could $100 million have made to the budget of any social agency, particularly one tasked with helping the many disadvantaged and marginalized among whom Pickton found his victims? What difference could it have made in crime prevention or health care or education? We’ll never know, because it all went into the destructive vortex created by a single individual who exploited the sins of our society against us.

L
iberal leader Michael Ignatieff’s admission Wednesday that people touch his “private parts” at airports every day offered a touch of the comedic that switches this into the jolly season. But it wasn’t enough to fully embrace the capitalist nightmare that’s northward-creeping—Black Friday. Saccharine photo ops at temples to capitalism feel a bit off-colour, so I’ve compiled a list that allows me to get in the spirit of the season, while tickling my taste for bleeding headlines. 1.) For those who lament the nowsecular nature of Christmas, there’s an inventor in Denver who came up with the perfect gift to blend theology with North Pole sensibilities.
Now that 3D body scanners have been installed in airports in Kelowna, all our bits and pieces have been unveiled to airport security strangers, contravening one of my mother’s earliest edicts about public nudity. Exhibitionists may relish the opportunity—and Ignatieff said he’d gladly take his daily frisking in exchange for airport safety—but those of us who like a bit of mystery would appreciate Santa taking a look into www.rockyflatsgear.com. Undies with a radiation-shielding fig leaf appliqué ensure you can hit all inter-
national hotspots with
KATHARTIC your pride intact.
2.) Mother Nature, that selfish cow, dealt an unpleasant hand to British Columbians. Mounties said there were sevKathy en accidents over a mere Michaels two-hour period Thursday morning, and while I would like to blame government bodies for falling down on their snow-sweeping duties, a simple commute taught me that’s not really the case. It’s become quite clear that people need to head back to their driving guides. They’re all over Chapters, but ICBC still has a freebie. And, if you
have a pen, please add the following: First, don’t tailgate me with your white minivan when I’m driving to an assignment on seriously slippery road. A rate of 45 km/hour isn’t an underachievement—it guarantees a clean stop. That’s right minivan majority, which includes you my dear parents, moving forward isn’t the only point of your wheeled machine. Next, when the blinking green arrow pops up and you want to turn left, it’s incumbent on you to actually turn left. You don’t yap on your mobile phone and gesticulate to your backseat brood—you just turn. Keep with the spirit of the season and consider it a leap of faith.
3.) Membership to the Secret Society of Happy People may be just what Saint Nick ordered and it can be found at www.sohp.com. I’m sure local business folk have already been getting its Kool-Aid Fed-Ex’d, considering 73 per cent of them recently reported to the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce that they expected the recession’s silver lining to rain coins on them in the next year. It leads me to believe that we all need to read their mandate which “encourages the expression of happiness and discourages parade-raining. Parade-rainers are those people who don’t want to hear your happy news.” Now who couldn’t use an antiGrinch blast like that?

MP ignores petition on GM foods Open letter to Ron Cannon: Over 3,000 of your constituents signed a petition asking you to support Bill C-474 to evaluate the negative economic impact of exporting genetically modified crops. Despite this petition, you choose not to support Bill C-474 because you believe (allegedly) that GM crops are safe and play an important role in the future of agriculture. The science of the Canadian regulatory body has deemed GM foods are safe for human consumption but I question if that science is right. Science has been wrong before about
the consequence of new products on human health and safety: Think about DDT, agent orange, tobacco, Thalidomide, Vioxx, or bisphenol-A. These are all things that were scientifically deemed safe to human health, only to be discovered unsafe with the passing of time. Will genetically modified foods be another example of mainstream science not recognizing the harm to human health until great damage is done? Instead of continuing to put blind faith in what mainstream science says, perhaps an appeal to intuition and common sense thinking
is in order. Does splicing bacteria DNA with corn DNA to produce a plant that produces its own insecticide sound entirely safe to eat? What are the unknown long term consequences of that? Passing Bill C-474 would slow the growth of the GM food industry in Canada—a small step, but one in the direction of being precautionary and putting human health first, above all else.

Evidence for evolution ‘just doesn’t add up’ To the editor: Like Guy King, I also attended the presentation by Dr. Jonathan Sarfati at UBCO on Oct. 23. (‘Proof’ Evolution a Hoax, Nov. 14 Capital News.) In fact, I believe my husband and I were sitting right next to Mr. King and spoke with him before the presentation began. I commented on his Out of Africa sweatshirt. I’m pleased, Mr. King, that you presented your points in your letter to the editor articulately and politely. That’s more than can be said for the ‘annoyingly vocal’ skeptics in the audience. One of them wasn’t content with asking a couple of questions, waiting for the answers and then giving someone else a chance. He seemed to think he was entitled to equal time and proceeded to give us his own “top 10” arguments against creation before he was persuaded to sit down. Although the answers to your questions can easily be found on web sites for organizations such as Creation Ministries International, Institute for Creation Research and Answers in Genesis, among others, there are several points I’d like to address directly. I don’t believe Dr. Sarfati said all the fossils were laid down by Noah’s
flood over a matter of days, but no doubt many of them were. There is abundant evidence that a global, catastrophic flood occurred: All around the world we find billions of dead things that have been buried in water-carried mud and sand, at least one fish in the midst of a meal and an ichthyosaur giving birth. Things that die and are left to the elements and other animals don’t leave fossils, as Dr. Sarfati explained using the goldfish illustration. Some of the fossils that have been discovered could have been the result of other, similar catastrophes. Nor did Dr. Sarfati say that the Grand Canyon was gouged out overnight. He was referring to the canyon left after the Mt. St. Helen’s eruption in 1980. This ‘Little Grand Canyon’ was formed in less than one day from a mud-flow that eroded material that had blocked the North Fork of the Toutle River. As a result, the new river then flowed through the canyon formed by the mud flow. This illustrates that the Grand Canyon could have been formed very quickly—millions of years are not required. In fact, a careful study of the geology of the Grand Canyon and similar layered formations, as Dr. Sarfati pointed out, suggests it couldn’t have taken any-
where near that long and still resulted in the flat, even layers that are readily evident. Gaps of millions of years would have left the surfaces between the layers jagged and uneven. As for scientists being “forced to rethink their long cherished and scientifically tested theories,” I think you make a valid point, Mr. King. I say it’s about time they questioned their “long cherished” theories, but just how did they scientifically test something that supposedly started billions of years ago, caused life to form out of nonlife and over millions of years turned amoebas into astronauts and frogs into princes? Even Dr. Dawkins, in his book Greatest Show on Earth which he subtitled The Evidence for Evolution, fails to provide what he claims the book is all about. As for reviews for Dr. Sarfati’s response, I found quite a few on Amazon. com’s web site. Here’s some samples: “I lost my Evolution Faith when being taught by London University’s Professor J.Z. Young, FRS, arguably the greatest Darwinian evolutionist of the 20th century. I have since been waiting for a 21st century genius to prove that the Darwinian evolution emperor has no
▼ B.C. POLITICS
Golden opportunity for B.C To the editor: Politically, our province is in the midst of a perfect storm. With the governing Liberal party at an all time low in popularity, and the NDP actively engaged in party infighting, British Columbians have a unique opportunity to render the political party system extinct in this province.
Just think, no more outside persuasion from the corporate sector or other groups and individuals seeking political favour. No more backroom deals with corporate friends. No more sudden changes in the party agenda. No more lies, false promises and exaggerated
claims (at least a lot fewer). Just think, we have an opportunity to elect 85 independent, free-thinking individuals whose primary and sole purpose is to serve the best interests of the people who elected them along with the best interests of the province. Grant Baudais, Kelowna
clothes. Jonathan Sarfati is that genius as you can see from this, his latest masterpiece. With an astonishing array of scientific references, Sarfati has demonstrated that he is far and away the better debater than Richard Dawkins. Read it, and re-read it!” —Dr. Felix KonoteyAhulu (a world authority on sickle cell anemia), Kwegyir Aggrey Distinguished Professor of Human Genetics, University of Cape Coast, Ghana, and former consultant physician genetic counsellor, Cromwell Hospital, London. “Any rational debate requires the honest presentation of both sides. But there exists a powerful, self-styled ‘intellectual elite’ [that] would have a debate wherein only one side was heard while the other side was either ignored or grossly misrepresented.…In my opinion Sarfati’s book beats Dawkins’ book, point by point, on all issues.” —John Sanford Ph.D., courtesy associate professor, Dept. of Horticultural Sciences, Cornell University. (Sanford is a pioneer of genetic engineering and inventor of the gene gun). “An excellent rebuttal to the best evolution has to offer. The reader should walk away with the understanding that evolutionary theory is a house of cards
capital news A11
and its chief spokesmen are promoting poor, illogical, and false arguments against the only viable alternative: biblical creation.” —Robert Carter, Ph.D. in marine biology and genetics, University of Miami. I’m not surprised that in the mainstream media The Greatest Hoax appears to have been totally ignored. 2 Peter 3: 3-6 tells us that in the last days there will be scoffers who will be “willingly ignorant.” (Read verse 7, as well.) Fortunately, Truth is not determined by its popularity in the mainstream media. I wonder why Dawkins’ latest book has become a best seller, given that evolutionism is the prevailing world view, it’s taught in public schools, and he’s already written several books on the subject. If “the evidence for evolution grows by the day, and has never been stronger” as he says in the preface, why is such a book even necessary? Could it be that well-informed and well-educated people, and those using their God-given common sense and ability to reason, recognize that all the so called “evidence for evolution” just doesn’t add up?

▼ H2O CENTRE
Council agrees sounds of silence worth $250,000 cost Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna city councillors learned the sound of silence costs somewhere in the area of $250,000. Tapped to release dollars from the H2O Centre’s reserve fund Monday afternoon, councillors were told now’s the time to add baffling that will muffle the combined sounds of swimmers, the wave pool, fitness centre and various other amenities. “After the initial acoustic treatment was completed, it was always our intention to expand and address patron comfort and
safety,” said the city’s Jim Gabriel. With all the activities that run in tandem and swim instructors who are trying to communicate with students, “life guarding becomes a challenge.” It’s a phenomenon experienced in all recreation centres like H2O, and when it’s not addressed it becomes a safety risk. While most councillors had little to say on the pricetag topic, Coun. Graeme James questioned how it was possible that such a simple project would cost so much. “Maybe I’m the only one who thinks $250,000 is a lot of money for baf-
Andre Blanleil
Sharon Shepherd
fling,” he said. “I know you have the money, but that money could be used for a lot of things.” James was told the project may not cost the full amount requested, but it was a safe figure and what remains will be di-
verted back to the reserve fund. Funds for a maintenance lift system that would reach the height of the H2O ceiling, and a system for improving energy management were also released Monday, bringing
the drain on the contingency fund developed out of unused start up funds and excess operating budgets to $340,000. The fact that the amount was sitting in reserves caught the attention of Coun. Andre Blanleil who asked how such a robust fund could be developed. He contended that instead of throwing funds into a reserve, they should be used to lessen the burden on the taxpayer. The centre cost $44 million, and taxpayers foot the bill for an annual $2.4 million repayment, among other costs associated to the centre.
“We spent a lot of money building this and the operating deficit will be there for a long time,” said Blanleil. “If it is more successful and if we charge fair market value on the ticket prices, hopefully over time, if it is well run and well attended we can reduce the tax burden on this building.” Keith Grayston, with the City of Kelowna, explained that a building as ambitious as the H2O centre could theoretically need maintenance or repairs, and those could be costly. It’s in the best interest of the city to have that
money held back for that eventuality than be hit by a cumbersome, surprise bill sometime in the future. In the meantime, those behind the H2O centre are just pleased with the impact it’s having on the community. Memberships to the centre sit at about 4,700 from month-to-month and 1,500 people go through the doors daily. Around 50 per cent of participants are 25 and younger, which Mayor Sharon Shepherd pointed out was exciting, as that’s the demographic they’re trying to reach. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Discovered skull identified as man missing since 1995 A mystery 15 years in the making was put to rest earlier this month when the B.C. Coroner’s Service positively identified a skull that washed ashore in City Park. The skull was discovered by a beach goer after it washed onto the shores of the city on April 4, 2008, and was finally identified as the remains of 29-year-old, Jeff John Kiss this month. Kiss was reported missing by his friends Sept. 3, 1995, when he failed to return from a houseboat cruise of Okanagan Lake. “(His) clothing and personal property were located on the house boat after the vessel docked at the Sails just after midnight on September 2, 1995,” Const. Steve Holmes said in a press release. “Following an extensive police investigation,

A Kelowna man tried to make a slippery escape from the law after a confrontation at Rose’s pub, but his plan was thwarted by Mother Nature. Just after 1 a.m., Nov. 25, a group of young men became unruly and disruptive at Rose’s pub on Water Street. “When a waitress advised them they would no longer be served alcohol, the group became angry and got up to leave the establishment,” Const. Steve Holmes said in a press release. “Some of the group then assaulted the doorman by throwing him to the ground and punching and kicking him and even throwing bar stools on him. Another staff member attempted to intervene but he was also assaulted.” As police arrived, three of the assailants ran away, two by land and one by water. The ones on land were quickly apprehended, but the swimmer managed to make it to a dock at the Yacht Club and found himself locked in, as he shivered in the -9 C cold. “Police were able to get a pass key to the Yacht Club gate and arrested the soaked suspect,” said Holmes. Two of the men, aged 22 and 26, were released on a Promise to Appear in court and are facing charges of Assault. The 24-year-old swimmer was on parole for convictions relating to Criminal Code offences against property. His parole will be revoked and he will be sent back to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence.

land, is grateful to finally know what happened to her son,” said Holmes. While it’s unclear why the man’s skull turned up so many years later, Holmes surmised it could have been related to bridge construction. “There is some speculation that the high pressure air hoses, that were used during the construction of the new Bennett Bridge, dislodged the remains from the bottom of Okanagan Lake.” When it was first discovered, Const. Julie Ratee said the initial examination by medical professionals suggest that the skull was likely that of a female between the ages of 20 and 30. She noted an RCMP dive team was also brought in to search the area near City Park where the skull was discovered.

Mounties released a sketch of the man they believe tried to abduct a 15-year-old girl in Rutland last month, in hopes it will jog memories and bring the case to a close. “The incident happened Oct. 4 at around 6:30 p.m., when the victim was walking alone near the 300 block of Gertsmar Road towards Highway 33,” Const. Steve Holmes said in a press release. “She stopped to ask an older man, who was standing beside an older, rusty beige Oldsmobile Cutlass, for a light for her cigarette.” The man allegedly reached into the vehicle, produced a lighter and gave it to the victim. “When she handed it back to him, he grabbed her arm and attempted to Child abduction suspect put her inside the vehicle,” said Holmes. “She fought back and yelled and managed to escape and then ran to a nearby service station where she called a friend.” She reported the incident to police two days later. The suspect is described as being Caucasian, in his mid 40s. He’s believed to be 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10 in height with a medium build and weighing around 180 lbs. The victim said he had medium length thinning straight black hair with some grey that was slicked back. He had a stubbly face and a thin black/grey moustache. His eyes appeared sunken and were dark and he had bushy eyebrows and a broad nose. He was wearing a dirty white T-shirt, light blue jeans, beige or brown work boots. His voice was raspy and deep, and he was wearing several rings on both hands. The vehicle is described as being an older beige Oldsmobile Cutlass with rust spots on the rear wheel fenders.

George Abbott The government would have to amend legislation to change the scheduled date of Sept. 24, 2011, and Elections B.C. officials estimate it would take several months after that to set up polling stations and conduct a vote. Abbott said if he wins the leadership, he will abide by Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise to repeal the HST if a simple majority of those who vote want it gone. While avoiding criticism of Campbell, Abbott said he plans to run a more â&#x20AC;&#x153;collaborativeâ&#x20AC;? government that will reach out to people in all regions. The popularity of the B.C. Liberals is â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the ditchâ&#x20AC;? and the new leader has a big job ahead to regain public trust. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope the next bump we feel is vehicles coming out of the ditch and onto the road,â&#x20AC;? Abbott said, displaying the sense of humour he has become known for since being elected to the legislature in 1996. A berry farmer and college political science teacher before entering politics, Abbott emphasized his rural roots and the importance of developing B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resource economy. Also joining Abbott at the announcement were Klahoose First Nation Chief Ken Brown, Gitsxan Chief Elmer Derrick, Sicamous Mayor Malcolm MacLeod, Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper, Salmon Arm Mayor Marty Bootsma and Richmond councillor and former MLA Greg HalseyBrandt. B.C. Liberal Party members are to vote Feb. 26 to select a new leader. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

SIGN OF THE TIMES… Rudy Deboer put on his penguin costume to help relay his message,
standing on the street corner of Asher Road and Highway 33, that he wasn’t thrilled about the cold snap that descended on the Central Okanagan this week.
Wood stove rebate still available Homeowners in the Central Okanagan are still eligible for a $250 rebate through the Wood Stove Change Out Program when they purchase a new cleaner burning, EPA certified wood, pellet, electric or gas burning hearth product and recycle their old wood burning appliance. “With the winter weather arriving this week, many homeowners are now using their conventional wood burning stoves as a source of heat which can release a lot of smoke particulate into the air,” said Kate Bergen, regional air quality coordinator. “New EPA Certified stoves burn much more efficiently, reducing smoke output by up to 90 per cent which makes a big difference in the air quality in the Okanagan Valley.”
Homeowners need to visit their participating hearth retailer and purchase a new system for their home. The retailer will help complete the necessary rebate paperwork and recycle the old wood-burning stove. Funding for the rebate program is limited. Central Okanagan based retailers participating in the program include Ace Fireplace Showroom, Barbecue & Fireplace Centre, OK Builders Supplies, Okanagan Fireplace Den, Okanagan Home Centre, Okanagan Rock World and The Fireplace Place. Since 2001, the Wood Stove Change Out Program has seen over 1,300 old wood burning stoves replaced, reducing the smoke particulate in the air by about 50 tonnes per year.
It is estimated that there are still over 20,000 homes in the region with old wood stoves that release over 475 tonnes of smoke particulate into the Okanagan air shed. Bergen also reminds those using wood burning appliances to protect our air quality by burning only clean, dried wood that has been seasoned for at least eight months and to keep their fire burning brightly to reduce smoke. Also, don’t damper down the fire too much as it will produce a smoky, oxygen starved fire. The Wood Stove Change Out Program is a partnership between the regional districts of Central Okanagan and the OkanaganSimilkameen and the provincial ministry of environment.

Baby boomer retirement stats raise unpleasant numbers H
ere are some not so pleasant statistics, but I thought I would share them with you anyway. I’m hoping they will give you an idea of where we could be in 20 years as the bulge of baby boom-
ers move into retirement. These statistics come from the report I mentioned last week titled People without Jobs, Jobs with People, published by the Association of Canadian Community Colleges.

Next year the first baby-boomers will be 65 years of age. After 2011 those meeting the age in which they can receive old age benefits will increase every year at an increasing rate. We are moving into a knowledge economy (i.e. where knowledge will drive our economic growth) at the same time that a large bulk of our population is heading into old age and vacating jobs that may or may not require a post-secondary credential. Just the sheer magnitude of the number of baby boomers heading into retirement alone makes this significant. By 2011, 70 per cent of new jobs will require either a college or university education.
255 Neave Road www.okrestore.com
by 2016 there will be 550,000 Canadians without a post-secondary credential who will not qualify for the jobs available. Flip this around and you have 550,000 jobs that employers can’t fill because they can’t find qualified workers. Those shortages are even worse for the United States where they have lower participation rates when it comes to adults attending college or university. By 2025, they expect to have 16 million jobs they won’t be able to fill because they will require someone with a college or university education to do the job. This could lead to a significant increase in Canadians leaving Canada to work in the U.S. if they

Jane Muskens This will increase at approximately 0.5 per cent per year where by 2031 77 per cent of jobs will require the same education. Right now 60 per cent of working age Canadians (those between 24 and 64 years of age) have either a college or university credential. Sixty per cent is 10 per cent less than 70 per cent. With a projected increase of 0.5 per cent, the ACCC figures that
can secure higher wages. Demand for workers with a post-secondary credential will become fiercely competitive and may no longer be played out within national borders, but take place on a global scale where multinational companies and governments will vie to secure those workers with a post-secondary education. According to the ACCC, increasing the number of Canadians who have either a college or university credential won’t be easy. It takes a tremendous amount of planning and effort by both the federal and provincial governments, not to mention the governing bodies of the public colleges and universities.
The ACCC anticipates that Canada will have to increase the number of university and college graduates by 168,000 j per year if we are going to meet the needs of our changing labour market, let alone maintain our current standard of living. If you have children, especially teenagers, you know it’s not easy to convince all young people how important education is for their future. And if you are at the age where you are contemplating getting a postsecondary education, I think there isn’t a better time than now to make sure you are ready for the job market of tomorrow.

Local gift to cancer foundation to fund major prevention research The B.C. Cancer Foundation has received a donation from the estate of a long-time Kelowna resident and former cancer patient will fund a major cancer prevention research project coming to the Southern Interior next year. The donor was a former cancer patient who had received treatment and care at the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Centre for the Southern Interior, in Kelowna. She included a gift in her will to the foundation, wishing to support the agency’s regional centre. Her gift will enable the agency to open a local clinic offering area res-
idents the opportunity to participate in the agency’s BC Generations Project in their home community. The project is recruiting men and women between the ages of 40 and 69 to join a long-term study examining how environment, lifestyle and genes contribute to cancer and other chronic diseases. Participants provide basic information and blood and urine samples, which are added to a comprehensive data pool. From it, agency researchers will learn more about prevention of cancer and disease, for the benefit of future generations. The project is part of a
national initiative following 300,000 Canadians for over 20 years, and is the largest of its kind ever undertaken in Canada. B.C. Cancer Foundation president Douglas Nelson said, “Our donor was very grateful for the care she received and wanted to continue to support the B.C. Cancer Agency in her community after the end of her own life. “The B.C. Cancer Foundation is happy to be able to fulfill her wish by funding the B.C. Generations Project in Kelowna for the benefit of the region’s citizens, now and in the future.” “It’s a huge opportu-
nity for this generation to do something for future generations,” added Richard Gallagher, B.C. Generations Project principal investigator and senior scientist with the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Cancer Control Research Program. “This could help protect your children or your grandchildren from getting cancer or chronic disease.” Anyone aged 40 to 69 is encouraged to participate. More than 6,500 British Columbians have already registered by phone at 1-877-675-8221, by email at bcgenerationsproject@bccrc.ca or online at www.bcgenera-

tionsproject.ca. The B.C. Generations Project plans to open the registration clinic in Kelowna on Jan. 6, 2011. The B.C. Cancer Foundation, the fundraising partner of the B.C. Cancer Agency and the largest charitable funder of cancer research in B.C., enables donors to contribute to leading-edge research that has a direct impact on improvements to cancer care for patients.

SPORTS ▼ CENTRAL OKANAGAN HALL
Sports Hall of Fame welcomes 2010 inductees Warren Henderson and Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTERS
Five decades after reaching the pinnacle of Canadian women’s basketball, their spirit and vitality lives on. The Kelowna Teddy Bears were among the 2010 inductees into the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame announced Thursday morning at Coast Capri Hotel. Enshrined in the team category, the Teddy Bears won six B.C. titles and two national women’s basketball championships in 1960 and 1961. Formed by the late Bob Hall, who coached the team from 1956 through 1964, the Teddy Bears once enjoyed a stretch of 101 wins and just one loss in league play. The 13 living members of the Teddy Bears were in attendance for the ceremony, including Penticton’s Lois (Haley) Fedorak. “I think the camaraderie and the team spirit we had was why we were so successful,” said Fedorak. “We were all so close. There weren’t any stars, we all felt valued and, of course, that was our coach, Bob Hall, who was responsible for that. He was a fantastic coach and a friend.” For former Teddy Bears player Shirley (Berard) Tataryn, reliving old times and earning recognition from the Hall has been an emotional and rewarding experience. “There’s really no words that can explain it, I have literally been in tears

We worked hard for it, but it’s here, we did it. “The friendships we renewed has been wonderful, and what we’re missing is Bob But it’s really been great.” The Teddy Bears paid tribute to Bob Hall’s wife, Jeanne, who attended the event with her son Mike Hall. The living members of the Teddy Bears are: Sheila (Bennison) Armstrong, Anita Stewart Bennett, Shari (Purcello) Chase, Pat Cumming, Ellie Erhardt, Lois (Haley) Fedorak, Doreen (Pinske) Grey, Doreen Johnston, Marg (Fielder) Manning, Shirley (Berard) Tataryn, Margaret (Vansanten) Taylor, Irene (Mackay) Weber, Mary (Brockman) Welder and team manager Malcolm Whitehouse. The deceased members are coach Bob Hall, Bina Brown, Doris (Fowles) Hilton and Gloria (Yusep) Martino. The other 2010 COSHF inductees are:

As a junior athlete with the Okanagan Sun he held the Sun yardage receiving record for 25 years. As a CFLer he was a reliable target for CFL teams in B.C., Clagary, Edmonton and Ottawa.

When Dr. Don Arnold and his dominant four man Canadian rowing crew from UBC took to the Australian waters at the 1956 Olympics, their first stroke completely missed the water, putting them solidly in the back of the pack. By the end of the race the team had raced back to win by five lengths, claiming Canada’s first ever gold medal in rowing. It was a trip that almost didn’t happen. “We had no money and there were no such things as federal grants,” Arnold told the Hall of Fame audience. “But between the people in my home community and the people in Vancouver, they raised the money to get us down there. I’ve been involved with this sport for 40-odd years now and I want to say thank you very much. It’s been a delight and an honour.” Like many of the inductees, Arnold has spent years giving back to his

I enjoyed the moment. It’s been absolutely fantastic.” Andrews was named a field hockey coach of the year in 1993 and is also creditted with being the first to establish high performance training camps for young players.

Hot Kelowna Rockets visit speedy Spokane Chiefs Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Few stretches of hockey in the WHL this season can rival the Kelowna Rockets prolific roll through November. The play of the Spokane Chiefs over the last two weeks hasn’t been too shabby, either. The Rockets have nine wins in the last 10 games, while the Chiefs have won five of their past seven— the last two over Portland (3-1) and Kamloops (101)—as the teams get set to collide Saturday night in Spokane for the first time this season. Rockets head coach Ryan Huska said the Chiefs will offer a formidable challenge as his club looks to end the month on a winning note. “Spokane will be one
of the quicker teams that we’ve faced in a while,” said Huska. “They do a great job with their transition game, and they play aggressive without taking a lot of penalties. It’ll be a good test for our guys.” The two clubs head into the weekend with 26 points apiece and are in the midst of one of the tightest races the Western Conference has ever seen. Excluding Portland, a mere four points separates the other nine teams in the conference. “It’s going to be fun,” Huska said. “It should go right down to the end of the year. Watching the standings right now is kind of a futile exercise. With everything so tight, you can’t afford to have a bad stretch. We’ve put ourselves back in the mix and now we have to keep

ST. DENIS RELEASED
The Kelowna Rockets have released veteran Kyle St. Denis. The speedy forward had been sidelined for the better part of the last two seasons with concussions. The Rockets in-
itially placed him on injured reserve with the intention of re-examining his status at Christmas. Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton said the club isn’t confident St. Denis would be fit enough to pass a physical if he did return. St. Denis is said to be pondering a return to junior hockey in the BCHL. When the Rockets released him, the Vernon Vipers dealt his BCHL rights to the Victoria Grizzlies.

Westside Warriors add forward to roster The Westside Warriors acquired forward Stefan Nicholishen this week from the Penticton Vees in a one-for-one swap. In return, the Vees get defenceman Jason Nash. Nash recorded one assist in 12 games with the Warriors this season, after coming off an early season injury. “Jason asked to be moved to another team in order to try and get more playing time, so we did so,” said In 16 games with the Vees, Nicholishen had two goals and two assists. “Stefan is a 17 year old left winger who possesses great size and skill,” said Yopyk. “He will join our team early next week and add to the depth of our team.” Nicholishen has committed to playing for the University of Nebraska Mavericks for the 201212 season. Meanwhile, the Warriors continue a four-game BCHL homestand Friday night against the Penticton Vees. Face off at Royal LePage is 7 p.m. The Warriors played host to Prince George on Thursday night. A final score wasn’t available at press time. Westside opened its home stand Tuesday with a come-from-behind 7-3 win over the Langley Chiefs. The Warriors scored five unanswered goals, including four in the third period, to erase a 3-2 deficit. Tyler Brickler and Kyle Singleton scored
two goals each in the win. Alex Grieve, Matt Cronin and Brett McKinnon added singles, while Kevin Boyle stopped 26 shots in goal for his eighth win of the season. Next Tuesday night, the Warriors will wrap up their four-game stint at LePage when they host the Victoria Grizzlies.
CHIEFS HOST COYOTES SATURDAY…
The Kelowna Chiefs will battle a pair of Okanagan Division rivals this coming weekend in KI-
JHL action. On Friday, the Chiefs will visit the Princeton Posse. On Saturday, Kelowna will play host to the league-leading Osoyoos Coyotes. Face off is 7 p.m at Rutland Arena. Saturday’s home game has been designated ‘Take a Slapshot at Cancer’ as the Chiefs raise funds to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society. The team will donate full proceeds from the 50/50 draw, and full proceeds from the Jersey Off Your Back auction to can-
cer research. The concept came from Bobby Brown, one of the Chiefs players whose family has been affected by cancer for many years. Brown has officially challenged his teammates, fans and corporate sponsors to meet or beat his personal commitment of $5 donated to
the Canadian Cancer Society for every goal the Chiefs score, from Nov. 5 through Nov. 27. Brown and the Chiefs have also officially challenged their fans and the general public to fill the stands, and if 750 tickets are sold for the game, $2 from each ticket will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Koren has been named to Sloveniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster for the Group B world junior championship Dec. 12 to 18 in Bled, Slovenia. However, Koren, 18, is suffering from concussion symptoms and is questionable for the tournament. He has played in nine games and has no points. Stene, the Rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first choice in the 2010 CHL Import Draft, had one goal and four assists in 17 games with Kelowna this season.

Wickenheiser tourney inspires Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame the Kelowna Rockets midget tier 1 girls team for being just a little bit starstruck. After all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not every day that one of the greatest female hockey players of all time drops into their dressing room for a pregame chat. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precisely what happened last Sunday in Burnaby as Canadian icon Hayley Wickenheiser stopped by to offer some advice and good luck wishes to the Kelowna team. The Rockets were about to take to the ice in the midget final of the first annual Wickenheiser International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hockey Festival against a team from the Czech Republic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an experience Kelowna coach Jeff Keen is quite certain his girls will never forget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hayley came into the room, congratulated the girls on making the final and just told them to enjoy the game,â&#x20AC;? said Keen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
only representing Kelowna, but because they were playing an international team, they were representing Canada and they should be proud of that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of smiles from our girls,â&#x20AC;? added Keen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great opportunity for them to get some pointers and hear from someone and who has played at the highest level.â&#x20AC;? While the Kelowna team consists of 15-, 16-, and 17-year-old players, their Czech opponents in the midget final ranged in age from 18 to 32. The Czech women, known as the Kladno club, had no financial help from their countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;shockey federation, so had to raise their own money for the trip through corporate sponsors and out of their own pockets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of female teams in the Czech Republic, so this was a team they were able to put together for the tournament,â&#x20AC;? Keen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was quite a mix. It was good for our girls to play against some bigger, stronger and faster players.â&#x20AC;?

For the coaches, getting access to coachers at a high level was great. For the girls, they got to meet and chat with people like Hayley and Mel Davidson (national womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach).

Peewees claim own tourney
Banwell sets B.C. record
The Kelowna peewee tier 1 Rockets turned aside all challengers to win the 2010 edition of their own hockey tournament. The Rockets capped off an unbeaten weekend with a 6-1 win over North Vancouver in Sunday’s championship game at Memorial Arena. Kelowna also posted wins over Lethbridge (3-2), Cloverdale (61), North Van (7-1) and Midnapore (6-0) en route to the final. The Rockets are: Aris Anagnostopolous, Anthony Bishop, Lucas Cullen, Shay Cyra, Sam tDe Melo, Zach Erhardt, Shawn Guison, Eamonn
Ali Banwell has her own place in B.C. speed skating’s record books. The 17-year-old Kelowna athlete set a new provincial mark in last weekend at the Can Am International Long Track Speed Skating Competition in Calgary. Banwell, a Grade 12 student at KSS and Kelowna Speed Skating Club member, completed the junior women’s 500 metres in 41.76 seconds, eclipsing the former standard of 42.12. She also shaved over a second off her 1000m time, and lowered her 1500m time from 2:09.87 to 2:09.14. There were a number of other strong performances by Kelowna speed skaters in Calgary. Cameron Bennett, a Grade 12 student at OKM, found that his training has paid off. He set new personal bests in all four distances with times of 40.88 (previous 42.46 ), 2:06.53
Miller, Griffin Mendel, Ryan Pereverzoff, Calvin Rout, Jordan Robinson, Jonathan Smart, Giovanni Sambrielaz, Taylor Ward, Ocean Weisblat, and Cameron Welch. Travis Mayne, an AP goalie, joined the Rockets as a backup for the final two games as Anagnostopolous was sidelined with the flu. The coaches are Dixon Ward, Jason Smart, Joey McEwan and Brian Cullen. The Rockets, who are unbeaten in league play this season at 5-0, return to Okanagan Mainline action this Saturday when they visit Vernon.

Richard rink makes semis in Yukon spiel tCurling from A24 The Scott rink went 6-1 in Brantford, showing strong efforts in backto-back cash spiels. Last tmonth in Winnipeg, the r2010 B.C. women’s tchamps reached the quarterfinals of the Manitoba Lotteries Classic. “We played really rwell in Brantford and we played really well a few weeks earlier in Winnipeg, so we’re happy with where we’re at right now,” said Sasha Carter. Carter said a lighter playing schedule than usual could be benefitting her rink early this season. The Scott team has played in just four events so far, while eight or nine spiels has been closer to the norm in past years. “It’s sometimes hard to sit back and watch, but sometimes you’ve got to give yourself a break,” said Carter. “We’re coming off three really busy years. We’re not going to wear ourselves out this year.” In addition, the 2006 and 2007 Canadian champs have brought on former world women’s champion Linda Moore as a part-time advisor. k “Linda was involved with us in Winnipeg and she’s a phenomenal asset,” ksaid Carter. “She’s helping us with the mental skills and it’s been interesting to work with her. “We’re finding some passion and enjoyment in the game, we’re doing well right now, and Linda’s been really good for us.” Scott will be among 10 of the country’s top women’s rinks for the Canada Cup Dec. 1 to 5 in Medicine Hat. Other teams vying for the $25,000 first prize are Olympic medal-
ist Cheryl Bernard, former Canadian champs Jennifer Jones and Shannon Kleibrink, Ontario’s Krista McCarville, and Saskatchewan’s Stefanie Lawton and Amber Holland. Following the Canada Cup, the Scott team will have a month to prepare for the B.C. women’s championship Jan. 17 to 23 in Cloverdale. As the defending champs, they have an automatic berth in the 10-team event.

curling champ Jeff Richard made it to the final four at the Skookum Cash Spiel last weekend in Whitehorse. Richard, third Tom Shypitka, second Tyler Orme and lead Chris Anderson reached the semifinals of the $42,000 World Curling Tour event before dropping a 6-5 decision to New Westminster’s Greg MacAulay. Richard finished the event with a 5-2 overall record and pocketed $5,000 in prize money. The Kelowna rink fin-
ished pool play at 4-1, then advanced to the semis with a 6-4 win over Edmonton’s Mark Johnson in the quarterfinals. Richard is in Kamloops this weekend for the $34,000 Labatt Crown of Curling along with three other familiar rinks to local curling fans: Kelowna’s Bob Ursel; Rick Folk, who is skipping a team out of Kamloops; and Kelowna’s Tyrel Griffith who is skipping a team based at the Vernon Curling Club.

Her time in the 500m was strong enough to qualify her for the Canadian Senior Long Track in early January with Bennett, Banwell, Keara Maguire and Nicholas Goplen. Chris Neykov, 14 and a student at RSS, also proved he has a future in long track by breaking the 500m qualifying standard for the Can Junior Long Track Championships (under 19) in Winnipeg in January. Also breaking the 500m standard was Daniel Medland-Marchen, 18, who is a newcomer to the sport after switching from hockey this summer.

Coach Nancy Goplen is pleased with the progress the Kelowna skaters have made. “Many training sessions and camps have paid off for the members of the Okanagan Regional Training Centre and the Kelowna Speed Skating Club members,” Goplen said. “Club and family support as well as the support of Pacific Sport Okanagan has helped our athletes excel. In the past, we used to have Maguire and Nick Goplen but now, we are a force to be recognized on the national scene.” The next major event for the local club is Dec. 3 and 4 at the Capital News Centre.

due to the diligent work of the City of Kelowna and some hardy volunteers. “The city did an incredible job on Friday and Saturday getting the field ready,” said Chamberlain. “There was about eight inches of fresh snow on Sunday and about 100 people pitched in with shovels to help clean it off. The sense of community prevailed.” And so did the Dragons who captured their second straight SIFC championship with a 4620 win over the Kelowna Lions. Cam Feil was a key figure on both sides of the ball with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Eli Clarke added two majors, while Manny Chamberlain scored the other. Maliki Suppin recovered a pair of fumbles
as the Dragons boosted their season record to 120. “The 2010 Kelowna Dragons are the greatest group of kids I have been involved with in 17 years of coaching several sports,” Chamberlain said. “They all support each other whether they make great plays or mistakes,” he said. “I have heard zero trash talk or seen any selfishness throughout the season. This is most impressive considering their 12-0 record.” In the peewee final, the Mission Lions shut out the West Kelowna Sun Devils 22-0. Alexander Gross had two touchdowns, with Drew Karlstrom scoring the other. Taylor Knoll rushed for more than 120 yards for the Lions.

It will also invest in the expansion of development programs and playing opportunities for elite athletes in the region. CORE has already introduced touch rugby sevens to the region, offering the game to more than 180 Grade 5 and 6 students in SD23 this year. The game will be expanded to more schools in 2011.

A heart for nature Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
When we look at a flower do we think of it as a habitat for a bee to make the reproduction of other plants possible? When we watch a stream flowing down hill do we think of all the wildlife that water will feed? These are the questions that drive photographer Andrew Barton whose interesting depiction of the world around the Okanag-
an Valley shook up audiences at the Building Sustainable Communities Conference last week. “If we’re going to have sustainable communities, those things have to become more important,” he said, in an interview following the presentation. “We can’t just think that paving more bike lanes is going to make us more sustainable.” That said, Barton is usually the guy in the bike lanes. Earlier this week,

Isn’t that a nice place? But we don’t ne-
cessarily value it or appreciate it for what it does for us,” he said. Barton’s photographs a small flower’s ecosystems in his own Kelowna backyard to vast glacial vistas

guide and, though he later worked in the IT department for Interior Health and went on to pursue his photography, he kept up his water skills. In 2008, Barton was part of a private group that ventured down the Colorado River into Arizona after waiting two years to secure permits for the privilege. As a photographer, Barton hopes his work can highlight these special places and remove people from their daily experience, if only for a moment, to see how important it is to protect the earth in all its diversity. “The way we perceive the world around us is really based on the stories that we tell about the world we live in,” he said. “I want to talk about the importance of what the things in nature do for us and the way we value those things.” To view his presentation visit www.lifeandlandscape.ca under the blog tab.

Here’s the reason 3D movies cost more at the box office T than a traditional 35mm projector. Currently, there are complicated financing agreements which have the movie distributors eventually pay for the installations (as digital distribution of movies will see them saving a substantial amount of money), but the projector alone does not automatically enable a theatre to play 3D. Theatres must also pay for equipment, including a special “silver” screen (which is not cheap) that allows 3D to happen. There still may be some people complaining that it is a money grab. Well, yeah, because both movie companies and theatres are looking for profits. Without profits, movie companies cannot make movies and theatres would not be able to operate and even upgrade to meet the demands of moviegoers. As well, you would not have as many movies to enjoy at home (DVD, BluRay, on demand, and yes, even illegally downloaded) if it wasn’t for more theatres continuing to grow and prosper. Although I perceive more “push-back” against 3D, it was not even a year ago that Avatar was released and theatres that did have 3D saw much
here still seems to be some misconception about the surcharge on 3D movies and I feel the movie industry has not done enough to let movie patrons know why there

Rick Davis is one. I still get a number of people thinking (from mildly disgruntled to downright belligerent) that it is simply for the glasses and if they keep them, they will save the surcharge the next time. Unfortunately, that is not the case. After the government tacks on its 12 per cent cut, most of the surcharge is split (not necessarily “down the middle”) between the theatre and the movie company, much like a regular movie admission is. It costs more for the movie company to produce a movie in 3D and movie theatres have to spend money to put in the specialized equipment required to play this generation of 3D. A digital projector has to be installed, which is more expensive

greater attendance than those that didn’t. It was the same story for later releases like Alice in Wonderland, How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek Forever After, Toy Story 3 and others. I still hear more disappointment from people when they discover that a movie is not in 3D than people who are disappointed
that it is in 3D. There is no shortage of 3D movies coming out over the next year. ••• Disney’s Tangled is the latest 3D movie and while it may not knock Harry Potter out of the top spot, it is already winning over critics and is expected to be the top new opener this weekend.

Korean cuisine comes to our town A fan of this hard to find cuisine, I was thrilled to hear that Soban Korean Bistro had recently opened on Bernard Avenue. The first Korean restaurant in the entire Okanagan, Soban makes a fabulous addition to our independent restaurant line up.

Jennifer Schell Chef/owner Daehon Song, along with his wife Heesun, have created a stylish room that excludes warmth and serenity. I love the bamboo decked wall and beautiful carpentry. Daehon and Heesun, with their two sons, moved here from Seoul just two years ago. I asked him what inspired him to open a restaurant here and Song explained, it “is the food that I know best and I think that the locals here have a right to something different. “Besides, my mom and grandmother were the greatest cooks that I have ever known. I have eaten at thousands of Korean restaurants in Korea but never thought that any of them was better than my mom’s or grandma’s cooking,” he said. “What I am trying to do here at Soban is replicate what mom and grandma used to cook for me when I was a kid. ” I love this menu.

SOBAN KOREAN BISTRO serves delicious Korean Tacos—a hip, new item on the world foodie scene. combination of traditional Korean favourites, like bibimbop (b-bop) and bulgogi, Song has integrated some modern fusion style dishes. Obviously hip to the hautest new food trends, I was thrilled to see Korean tacos on the menu. All the rage in LA, and recently appearing on the rocking street food truck scene in Vancouver, these tacos are the latest in fusion style cuisine. Only the freshest ingredients appeared at our cozy window table for two. The kitchen is MSG and preservative free— and that you can be guaranteed as Song says he is “supersensitive to the side effects of MSG myself.” We started with the lovely soup of they day
which was a flavourful broth along with some spicy Kimchi, the very traditional spicy pickled cabbage condiment. We then shared an absolutely gorgeous salad, perfectly dressed and chalk full of treasures including tofu, sugared nuts, beets and the most stunning fuschia coloured lotus root rounds. Not seen around town much, lotus root is a versatile, commonly used vegetable in Asian cuisine. Stir-fried, deep-fried or served sliced thin and blanched (Soban utilized this technique then pickled them with beet juice making for the stunning colour). Lotus root has a delicious crunchy, almost water chestnut like texture—love it.
The tacos were made with fresh, round flour tortillas and filled with slaw, feta cheese and your choice of spiced chicken, beef bulgogi or seafood with a side of salsa. In a word? Fantastic. I will be adding these to my crave list. Full at that point because of the generous portions, I jealously watched the other dishes stream out of the kitchen and wished for a bigger appetite. I can’t wait to go back and try all of the dishes including the b-bop (short for bibimbop), a traditional rice-based dish loaded with your choice of meat, vegetables, egg and choice of dressing, Japchae (stir fried noodle dish) and the bulgogi (incredibly tasty Korean bar-
becued beef). Prices are extremely reasonable, their special Lunch Set includes b-bop, soup or kimchi and your choice of bulgogi, binday tok (mung bean pancake), pajon (seafood pancake) or skewers for only $14. They also offer daily lunch specials. A liquor license is in the works, so for now enjoy your meal with a pot of perfect green tea. Soban Korean Bistro is at 530 Bernard Ave., 778478-9638 open Monday to Saturday 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C.

Promote cultural diversity among youth Dawn Wilkinson CONTRIBUTOR
Among so many other things, the Second World War inspired the creation of International Children’s Winter Games which the City of Kelowna is hosting from Jan. 26 to 31, 2011. This world class event is our opportunity to learn from and to promote understanding among different cultures. The International Children’s Games were the vision of Metod Klemenc, a physical education teacher in the former Yugoslavia who suffered greatly as a young person during World War II. His concept was to create an event that would foster a better understanding among youth of different cultural backgrounds, as well as promote peace and harmony. Youth, from ages 12 to 15 years, will be coming from such countries as Switzerland, Germany, Austria, China, Greece, Australia, Ghana, Slovenia, Pakistan, Lithuania, Scotland, Korea and Iceland. These athletes will participate in alpine and Nordic skiing, snowboarding, figure skating, speed skating, curling and hockey. Venues are located in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Big White. Do you speak any of the mother tongues from these countries? Perhaps you could greet people, act as venue hosts or assist with registration. Bus marshals, parking attendants and security staffing are needed. Everyone with first aid experience is welcome. Food also plays a big part in the Games and your hands will help make light work. As a volunteer, you need to complete an application form and attend a one-hour orientation session. On the job training will also be provided. One hour volunteer orientation sessions have already begun. Start time is 7 p.m. on Dec. 3, Jan. 3, 14 and 16 at Parkinson Recreation Centre as well as on Dec. 5, Jan. 6, 8 and 10 at the Black Box studio behind the Kelowna Community Theatre.

▼ OKANAGAN REGIONAL LIBRARY
Study finds ORL librarians are essential to library patrons Though the past decade has seen an explosion of resources online, a two-year study recently completed by the Okanagan Regional Library has discovered that the use of the library’s reference services continues to be in high demand and is in fact higher per capita than the provincial average. Reference staff respond to customer queries and help them find answers and resources, a key
component of the ORL’s service to the public. The Kelowna, Vernon and Salmon Arm branches have the largest reference departments in the ORL’s 29 branch system, which collectively dealt with more than 436,400 customer questions in 2009. “Despite what some may think, the accessibility of the Internet hasn’t resulted in a huge decline in need for reference servic-
es; in fact, we saw a steady increase in the number of questions posed to our reference staff between 1999 and 2007, and a slight levelling off in the past two years,” explained the ORL’s public services manager Pamela Medland. “While so much information is available online, it can be difficult to sift through it all to find what’s needed and accurate, and that’s where a li-

After receiving a report requested from the province’s Passenger Transportation Board, City Council directed city staff to invite a representative of the board to attend a future council meeting. Council is seeking clarification of the process and decisionmaking that would permit more licensed taxis in Kelowna, particularly for night shifts.
H2O Building Upgrades
Council approved the release of funds from a reserve account to improve features at the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre. Up to $370,000 will be spent on three different projects; an acoustic treatment to reduce the noise level inside the building, the purchase of a personnel lift to assist staff with maintenance requirements, and enhanced digital controls that will increase energy efficiency. kelowna.ca/council

The report also highlights the need to make the public aware of the availability of Reference Services. “The key to a good customer experience relies on using the catalogue to find resources,” Medland added. “With over three-quarters of a million materials spread through 29 branches, customers can’t always find what they need by browsing the shelves.

â&#x2013;ź MENTAL HEALTH
Hoarding deserves more attention as a distinct disorder O
ver the past couple of years, hoarding has captured the fascination of many. First, it was featured on several of the major talk shows including Oprah and now there is even an A&E television series dedicated entirely to the strange behaviour of hoarding. Video footage of rooms piled to the ceiling with old newspapers, food boxes, balls of wool and scraps of virtually any sort makes us cringe. We wonder what compels these people to collect so much seemingly worthless stuff that it literally takes over entire homes and makes it nearly impossible to function normally? Hoarding is the persistent difficulty in discarding or parting with possessions regardless of their worth. Until recently hoarding was officially classified as a sub-criteria or symptom of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), but it is now being recommended for inclusion as a separate disorder in an upcoming revision to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Hoarding affects between two and five percent of adultsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;meaning more than one million Canadians experience this troubling condition that is quite difficult to treat. Those recommending its inclusion as a distinct disorder claim it should not be lumped with OCD because hoarders donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t typically experience intrusive thoughts or impulses as in classic OCD. Also, drug and behaviour therapies used in OCD have very little effect on hoarding behaviour. Critics of the new distinction worry about labeling eccentricity as ill-

Paul Latimer ness and question who will decide when collecting or saving crosses the line into pathological behaviour. In my opinion, the line between simple or even eccentric collecting and hoarding is relatively easy to distinguish. An individual with no disorder does not feel distress about collecting and the collection does not interfere negatively with every day life. Hoarders experience intense anxiety when attempting to discard even small items. In fact, the hoarding behaviour is usually done in order to combat the anxiety produced by questions that arise when considering organizing or discarding any items. Very often, these individuals are crippled by indecisiveness, perfectionism, procrastination and avoidant behaviour. Not only do hoarders experience significant distress surrounding their hoarding, but the compulsive behaviour greatly impacts daily activity. Hoarders become increasingly socially isolated as their hoarding becomes impossible to hide. Very often they stop wanting people to come to their homes because they are ashamed of the extent of the clutter. When a collection becomes so extensive that it is impossible to use furniture, rooms or entire homes because of the space taken up by piles of saved material, it has often crossed the line into hoarding. Unforunately, the lack

when neighbours complain and relationships with loved ones are often destroyed as hoarded material increasingly takes over. While many hoarders save up inanimate objects, there are also some who hoard animals. We have likely all
heard media reports of places with dozens of cats, dogs or other pets living in cramped quarters. Often animal hoarders believe they are saving these pets while their numbers actually lead to their neglect.
One of the goals of including hoarding as a distinct disorder in the DSM is to help increase public awareness of this condition, identify sufferers and spur research into treatments to help those affected. If hoarding is ruining
your life, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to seek help. Change is possible. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials. 250-862-8141 dr@okanaganclinicaltrials.com

Dogs enjoy the cold winter weather even less than people Bring your dog inside. That’s the plea from B.C. SPCA cruelty investigators after responding to dozens of calls across the province about dogs left outside in recordbreaking frigid temperatures. “It’s absolutely preposterous to leave a dog— particularly a short-haired breed like a pit bull—outside in this weather,” said
Eileen Drever. Drever says dogs who do not have adequate shelter can succumb to frostbite and hypothermia, and even die. “For the love of your pet, don’t leave him outside in this weather,” Drever pleaded. Owners are required under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act to provide their pets with
adequate food, water and shelter. Marcie Moriarty, the B.C. SPCA’s general manager of cruelty investigations, says the society has already seized dogs this week who were being kept outside without proper shelter. “People tend to think that because a dog has fur, or is used to living outside, he’ll be okay, but that’s a fatal assumption and it
could cost your dog his life.” One of the most tragic cases in recent memory involved a cruelty investigation in Prince George where three dogs were being kept outside in sub-zero temperatures, with one of the dogs already dead in his outdoor kennel. A second dog was found huddled in a barren dog house suffering from
a bladder infection because she wouldn’t leave the dog house to urinate. Drever recalls another case in Maple Ridge a few years ago in which a Dalmatian that was kept outside froze to the ground and couldn’t get up. “These cases were so tragic and so preventable,” said Drever. The SPCA opposes keeping dogs exclusively outdoors, and last year launched a campaign
called “Break the Chains of Suffering” aimed at educating guardians about back yard dogs. Dogs who are kept outside all the time—no matter what the weather —can suffer physical and psychological harm. “At the very minimum under the law, you must make sure your dog has adequate food, water and shelter,” said Drever. “His dog house must be elevated, he should
have straw bedding to keep his body temperature up, the door should have a flap to keep the wind out and he should have food and water.” Drever added that farm animals are also susceptible to the weather and should be brought into the barn when the temperature drops. Animals expend more energy in cold weather so it’s also a good idea to increase the food they are given.
Kelowna looking for Snow Busters to clear the track for others

Snow is all around and the fifth annual City of Kelowna Snow Busters program has begun. “The Snow Busters Program encourages residents to lend a helping hand and aims to recognize those who help without being asked or expecting thanks,” said Darryl Astofooroff, the city’s transportation services manager. “Most residents live within steps of a senior or a neighbour with a disability, and in many cases are already helping out by clearing snow from their driveway or sidewalk.” Since the inception of the program,
more than 100 nominations have been submitted by Kelowna residents, acknowledging individuals who help them through the snowy days. A number of heart-warming Snow Busters stories can be read online at kelowna.ca/transportation, under “Snow Busters.” Snow Buster nominees will be entered in a draw to win a $500 travel voucher at the end of March 2011. Residents can nominate their Snow Busters online at snowbusters@kelowna.ca, or send a letter to City of Kelowna Snow Busters Program, 1435 Water St., V1Y 1J4.

Forget the Tea Party: How about Palin for B.C. premier? “
Ma’am, as you know, we are looking for a new leadter for the Liberal Party.” “Well, that’s why I’m here, ain’t it?” “Yes, of course. You’d like to be premier of B.C.” “Who wouldn’t? You get your own office, don’t you?” “Of course. Now, I see on your resume, Ms. Palin, that you’ve had leadership experience.” “Yes siree, I was mayor of a city of more than 5,000 and was governor of the whole darn state of Alaska for two-and-a half years. And, you know what? I was just a teeny tich off being vicepresident of the United fStates. Why if that Obama bin Laden hadn’t got elected...” “Yes. Well, I see that you do have a great deal tof political experience, but it’s all in the United tStates.” “The mightiest country in the world. Is there a problem with that?” “B.C. is in Canada.” “Har, that’s a good one. I know where DC is. You can’t trip me up on that one. I already said I was almost vice-president.” “It’s B.C., as in British Columbia.” “The job’s in Britain? Well, howdee. I’ve always wanted to meet the Queen.” “No, it’s the province of British Columbia, in Canada. Have you ever even been to Canada?” “Canada? Well, pretty

As long as I can carry a semi-automatic and bake cookies, I’m just fine.” “Ms. Palin, this is a really tough job. You’d be under tremendous scrutiny.” “Scrutiny is my middle name. Actually, it’s Louise.” “You will be judged on everything you do.” “Listen, honey. I’m more used to that than a dog is to fleas. Why, when they accused me of trying to get State Trooper Wooten fired, I got myself a lawyer and I was cleared of all illegal wrong doing.” “The current premier has been accused by one of his party MLAs of being controlling and leading by fear.” “Good for him. Did he fire the guy who accused him? Cuz, that’s what I’d do. And, I’d get even to boot. Did he do that, too?” “Ms. Pa...” “In fact, I’d get even with everyone who pissed me off. How tough are your gun laws?” “Ms. Palin, you seem to have a record of han-
dling things, shall we say, in a bit unorthodox manner.” “Hey, I’m orthodox. I’m as Christian as you can get.” “The job requires extensive intervention with the media.

the United States in 2012, but this whole Tea Party thing is kind of strange. I don’t really get it. Plus, the U.S. is going to seed in an oil tanker and I need a back-up plan.” “So leading the province of B.C. would be your back-up plan?” “Let’s face it, I figure the next leader you need is a strong, right-leaning woman and the two best prospects, Carole Taylor and Dianne Watts, have
nixed the idea, so I’m your best bet.” “You think you can win the next election?” “Against that other woman with the bad hair? Are you kidding me?” “So, you’d really like to be premier?” “Better than a poke in the eye.” Shelley Nicholl owns Mad Squid Ink, a professional writing service. madsquid@shaw.ca .

Plenty of ‘mean’ mixed with green at LA Auto
Green vehicles rule 2010 LA Auto Show

If California were a country, it would be the greenest country on the planet. But here in Los Angeles, the city built on wheels, ‘green’ and ‘mean’ vehicles co-exist presenting a paradox like nowhere else. At this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show the two came together with plenty to see and even more to learn. My colleague, Lorne Drury, will be reporting on the ‘green’ LA while I will handle the ‘mean and lean’ LA. One of the biggest

CHEVROLET premiered the 2011 Camaro Convertible in L.A. It features a power top that retracts in 20 seconds. splashes came from Ford with the 2011 Focus. Ford said it expects the Focus to set a new standard in the small car segment, offering more technology and features than more expensive European cars. Ford also stated Focus will have an expected (US) 40 mpg fuel rating, the only gasoline engine-powered vehicle with an automatic transmission in its segment to do so. Focus features a cockpit-style interior, with an interesting centre console starting with SYNC with MyFord Touch. They re-
place most traditional vehicle buttons, knobs and gauges with clear, colorful LCD screens and five-way buttons. The screens can be personalized to display information relevant to each driver using a simple button click, voice command or touch screen tap. Over at Chevrolet, all eyes were focused on the 2011 convertible version of the Camaro that will be offered in the same model configurations as the See Mean B3
California has always been at the forefront of the green revolution, but perhaps never more so than during the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, held Nov. 19 to 28. No fewer than 50 electric, gas/electric hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles, some production and some concept, were featured here as manufacturers almost fell over themselves trying to oneup the competition when it comes to green technology. Headlining the green lineup at the show were the Chevrolet Volt and

THE 2011 CHEVY VOLT plug-in hybrid has been called a “game
changer” by General Motors executives. It is an extended range electric car that can travel up to 60 km on battery power alone before a 1.4-litre gasoline engine kicks in to operate a generator powering an electric drive motor. Nissan Leaf, poised to be the first mass-produced electric vehicles (EVs) on the market. The Volt, which was named Green Car of the Year during the LA show (see sidebar), is really a plug-in hybrid, not totally an electric car like the Leaf, which has no tailpipe and zero emissions. Which car is greener? Well, thereπs no doubt the Leaf wins that battle, but it does have its limitations when it comes
to range, unlike the Volt which runs on electric and gasoline power. General Motors calls the Volt an extended range electric vehicle because it can travel about 60 km on battery power alone before a 1.4-litre gasoline engine kicks in to operate a generator that powers an electric drive motor. That extends the range of the Volt to See Green B8

coupe. The standard model will have a 312 hp direct injection V6 engine delivering (US) 29 mpg highway. The SS model will feature the 6.2-litre V8 engine producing 426 hp. A six-speed manual transmission will be standard with an optional six-speed automatic. The power-folding top retracts in about 20 seconds. It is built in partnership with the same manufacturer as the Corvette convertible top, and operates in a similar manner. It folds in a simple ‘Z’ pattern and latches with a single, convenient handle located at the centre of the windshield header. And watch out for Subaru. I was fascinated to learn Subaru Canada has grown from selling just 4,177 units in 1984 to an expected 25,000 this year. At Los Angeles, Subaru showed the Impreza Design Concept which showcases its new “Confidence in Motion” design and brand strategy. It is probably the most handsome Subaru to come along in a long time combining environmental compatibility with Subaru’s Symmetrical All Wheel Drive. The result is what Subaru said combines, “dynamic flow and confident stance” that showcases Subaru’s engineering core values of dynamic performance, safety, driving enjoyment and quality. Other vehicles of note at LA in alphabetical order were:
BUICK:
Buick showed the production version of the 2012 Regal GS, a roadburning version of the Regal sedan that went on sale earlier this year. Powered by a high-output Ecotec 2.0-litre turbocharged engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the GS delivers an estimated 255 hp and 295 lb/ft of torque for a
0-60 mph performance of less than seven seconds (estimated). Buick’s Interactive Drive Control System is standard on the GS, allowing drivers to customize the driving experience by changing the suspension settings and steering sensitivity between three modes: standard, sport and GS. It goes on sale in the second half of 2011.
CADILLAC
Cadillac introduced the Urban Luxury Concept, a design study exploring a new type of vehicle that offers luxury in a diminutive package. Comparable in size to popular city cars found in Paris, Shanghai and London, the Urban Luxury Concept demonstrates a departure from conventional vehicle design. It seats four with easy access to all seats available via a pair of scissor-type doors that extend outward and rotate forward when opened. Engineers developed a concept hybrid propulsion system for the Urban Luxury Concept that includes a turbocharged 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine employing electric assist technology, engine startstop function, brake energy regeneration and a dry dual-clutch transmission.

HYUNDAI:
CONTRIBUTED
CHRYSLER introduced six new vehicles at LA. There were four ‘Moparized’ cars and trucks including this Mopar ’10, a heavily modified 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T.
The 2011 Elantra encompasses Hyundai’s latest philosophy including ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ design, advanced safety, and fuel efficiency. Elantra is the fourth vehicle in Hyundai’s 24/7 version 2.0 product initiative, a company-wide effort to launch seven new models in 24 months.
Incorporating Fluidic Sculpture design principles, it produces a drag coefficient of 0.28. Elantra is powered by an all-new 1.8-litre fourcylinder engine named ‘Nu.’ Developing 148 horsepower and 131 lb/ft of torque, the Nu engine was developed to replace the 2.0-litre Beta engine from the previous generation Elantra. The Nu is smaller in
size, weighs 34 kilograms less, and helps achieve a 16 per cent improvement in highway fuel economy over the outgoing model.

buzz in the electric revolution, low-emission, highmileage hybrids still represent the largest volume of green vehicles. Nearly two dozen were shown for the first time in Los Angeles. Among the more notable were the Infiniti M35h and Kia Optima Hybrid, the first hybrids for each of those brands. Infiniti says the 2012 M35h will be the most advanced luxury performance hybrid sedan on the market and it will offer V8 performance and fourcylinder fuel economy. It will produce more than 360 hp, yet achieve an estimated 6.9L/100 km (41 mpg) on the highway and 8.8L/100 km (32 mpg) in the city. The M35h will be able to be driven for up to 1.9 km on electric power alone and at speeds up to 100 km/h. In tests of mixed driving, the M35h was able to operate in electric only mode for as much as 50 per cent of the time. It will be available at dealers next spring. Los Angeles marked the world debut of the 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid,

all-electric car that will be readily available to the average consumer. On a full charge, it can travel up to 160 km before it needs recharging. In Los Angeles, Nissan showed a production version of the Leaf for the first time. I had a chance earlier this year to drive a preproduction model and other than the absence of any engine noise, I said at the time that the best compliment I could pay was it drove like a regular car. The first production Leaf models will drop into customersπ driveways in California before the end of the year. In Canada, we can expect to see them next fall and Nissan officials at the show said the company already has 5,700 Canadian “hand-raisers” interested in the car. Nissan sees electric cars as the way of the future and has predicted that by the year 2020, 10 per cent of all cars sold will be EVs. Meanwhile, the first Volts will also be on the road in California before the end of the year.

Green from B8 mode (zero emissions) and in blended gas/electric mode. The Optima Hybrid uses a lithium polymer battery pack that Kia says is lighter and more comrpact than others on the market and will hold a charge 25 per cent longer than hybrids with nickel metal hydride batteries. Hereπs a look at some of the other featured performers at the show.

will run in pure electric mode for up to 109 km (68 miles) on a six-hour domestic plug-in charge. It has lightweight micro gas turbines that quickly recharge the lithium ion batteries to give the car a theoretical range of 560 miles. Each wheel is powered by its own electric motor.
TOYOTA:
Toyota unveiled the RAV4-EV at the LA show. This is actually the second generation of the RAV4-EV. The first generation debuted in 1997 in California, however from 1998-2003 only 1,484 were sold or leased. About half of them are still on the road. The second generation will include 35 units, which this year will be used for demonstration and evaluation purposes, before a fully engineered product arrives next year, with a target range of 160 km. Using a Woodstock, Ont.-built RAV4, the EV model will incorporate a battery developed by Tesla. The demonstration vehicle weighs about 100 kg more than the regular
RAV4, yet Toyota says it accelerates nearly as quickly. Further details regarding pricing, volume projections and where the vehicle will be built are still under discussion. Meanwhile Toyota also showed off its Camry, Highlander and Prius Hybrids, while Lexus brought its stable of hybrids like the GS450h, HS 250h, LS 600h L, RX 450h and the sporty CT 200h, set to arrive in Canada next year.
MERCEDES-BENZ:
California will be a testing ground for up to 70 hydrogen-powered BClass F-Cell vehicles by 2012, Mercedes-Benz announced in LA.
They will be leased to selected customers and have an operating range of up to 400 km. Other alternative-fuel vehicles in the MercedesBenz lineup that were showcased in LA included the E350 Bluetec and ML350 Bluetec diesel along with the S400 Hybrid.

SMART:
Smartπs all-electric fortwo joined the Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi iMiEV at the show. It has been in production since November 2009 and the initial volume has been upped to 1,500 units with several taking to the roads in selected U.S. markets this year. It uses a lithium ion battery, located in the floor under the seats, so that space is not compromised at all. On a full charge, it will do about 135 km.
MITSUBISHI:
Mitsubishi unveiled the North American version of its all-electric plugin i-MiEV vehicle at the Los Angeles show. Already on sale in its home market of Japan since 2009, this vehicle will start rolling out in the U.S. next year. The North American version is up-sized over the domestic model,

Ellure features regenerative braking and advanced drive-by-wire electric/hydraulic steering.
HONDA:
Honda joined the electric bandwagon in Los Angeles with the world debut of the Fit EV concept along with a platform for a midsize plug-in hybrid.

HONDA Fit EV concept.
Honda says the Fit EV concept “hints strongly” at the direction and styl-
ing for upcoming production Fit EV all-electric vehicles to be introduced in the U.S. and Japan in 2012. Honda, long a leader in green technology, also showed it FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle at the show along with its hybrid lineup, Honda Civic Hybrid, Honda CR-Z Sport Hybrid Coupe and Honda Insight Hybrid.
GENERAL MOTORS:
While GM had its Cadillac Escalade and Yukon Denali hybrids on display, the real story here other than the imminent launch of the Volt was the fuel-saving eAssist technology that will be offered on the full-size LaCrosse sedan in 2012. Called a “light electrification” system, eAssist
produces a 25 per cent increase in fuel economy and will come standard with the 2.4-litre fourcylinder engine in 2012. It uses a lithium ion battery system and electric motor-generator to enable regenerative braking. It results in a fuel economy rating of 6.6L/100 km (37 mpg) highway and 10.8 L/100 km (25 mpg) city.
Part of this is achieved through power stored in the battery that is used to provide an electrical boost when required. The system also has an automatic engine shut off when the vehicle is stopped, similar to a hybrid.
SAAB:
Saab is back and had the North American debut of its first EV, the Saab 9-3 ePower. It is the prototype of a fleet of 70 test vehicles that will undergo field trials in Sweden next year. The 9-3 ePower comes in a wagon bodystyles and uses batteries from Boston Power.
VOLVO:
Volvo has taken a regular C30 model and turned it into a full plugin electric car with the C30 DRIVe Electric. About 1,000 will be produced and will be included in test fleets in Europe, China and the U.S., starting this fall. The car will cover up to 150 km on a single charge, with the battery under the hood just like the engine in a conventional automobile.

M-B E-Class Cabriolet a luxurious four-passenger tourer Lorne Drury CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup for 2011 has something for everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;coupe, sedan, wagon and cabriolet. For many people, the tfavourite of all is the cabriolet, tested here as the E550 model, featuring a t5.5-litre DOHC V8 making 382 hp and 381 lb/ft of torque. An E350, with ra 3.5-litre DOHC V6 engine is also offered and it produces 268 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque. The E350/550 Cabriolet is no sports car, but it is a sporty grand tourer that can accommodate four adults in comfort. And unlike many convertibles today, especially of the retractable hardtop variety, the E350/550 has some usable trunk space. In fact, a hockey buddy of mine moved into ran E550 earlier this year after the lease expired on his sports car. As Tony explained it, he was looking for an upscale convert-
ible that had trunk space for two sets golf clubs, his hockey equipment and also room for some luggage when road trips were
involved. Pickings are slim in this area, and although he misses his sports car, Tony is happy with his choice of
the E550 Cabriolet. With the optional Premium Package ($3,200), my E550 tester priced out at $80,700. Meanwhile,

Aircap diverts air over passengers M-B E-Class B11 will tell, but it’s unlikely that the 2011 E-Class Cabriolet will lose its luster any time soon—it’s simply an attractive design from all angles. Mercedes-Benz has been in the luxury convertible business for years so they know how to do it right. If you want examples, take a look around the E-Class Cabriolet. Perhaps the neatest feature is the Aircap, part of the Premium Package available on both the E350 and 550 models. It includes a power-operated
wind deflector with mesh netting that extends above the windshield frame to divert airflow over top the passenger compartment. Aircap also includes a retractable draught stop between the rear headrests. All these work at the press of a button. With the windows up and the Aircap in operation, driver and passenger are not buffeted in the cabin. The E-Class Cabriolet is really a four-seasons car, unlike many convertibles, and you can extend your topless motoring experience into the cool-
er weather thanks to the Mercedes-Benz Airscarf system. This system keeps your upper body toasty with air vents mounted in the head restraints that warm air to the shoulder and neck area of the driver and front passenger. The system also works with cool air in hot weather. The top is very thick and well sealed, resulting in a fairly quiet cabin with the top up. While still a fabric roof rather than a retractable hardtop, it can be opened and closed in about 20 seconds at the touch of a button, even while the
vehicle is in operation up to 40 km/h. Get caught in a rain shower, you can start raising the roof while you’re slowing down to pull over. The roof can also be raised and lowered from outside through the key fob. As well, the power roof folds in such a way that trunk capacity is still one of the best in the segment—390 litres (14 cu ft) with the top up and 300 litres (11 cu ft) with top down. There is also a standard trunk pass-through, allowing for longer items like skis and hockey sticks

THE MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS CABRIOLET is available with two engine choices, a 3.5-litre V6 or a 382 hp 5.5-litre V8 on the E550. to be easily transported. I found little of the cowl shake you find in many drop tops, thanks in part to the extensive use of high-strength steel. The passenger compartment even has what MercedesBenz calls “cabrioletspecific reinforcement” in the floor and side areas. Out on the road, the E-Class Cabriolet is set up more for comfort than sporty handling. The standard Agility Control suspension automatically adjusts the dampers at each wheel, according to driving conditions. This results in a better ride quality than regular dampers, especially on bumpy roads.
This system automatically adjusts the distance away from the vehicle in front and, in the event of an imminent rearend collision, Pre-Safe starts to initiate braking itself. And since this is a convertible, rollover bars are integrated into the rear headrests for added protection. As one would expect in a Mercedes, the interior is luxuriously finished. The seats, both front and rear, are sporty, yet comfortable and supportive. Front seats have 10 adjustments and the optional Climate Comfort (part of the Premium Package) features three-stage heating and cooling.
A seven-inch colour LCD display screen in the centre console lets you access all cabin controls, which can also be called up using voice commands.

Have you REALLY given up texting and driving? By Kate Wells, DriveWise BC Even though rules are in place that forbid motorists from texting and driving, we still see drivers texting behind the wheel of a car. BELIEVE ME – WE SEE YOU! Your cell phone is off to the side in one hand, you are driving with one hand on your steering wheel and your head is looking up, then down, then up and down again. Sometimes you are stopped at a light, or stuck in traffic, but you also do it while you are on the road driving. You can’t hide texting and driving! Simply put, texting and driving is dangerous.
It’s even more dangerous now for those who still feel they need to hide their phones so not to be caught. It puts their eyes even lower in the vehicle when they should simply be on the road. I teach a free learner’s licence preparation course and throughout the course we talk briefly about texting and driving. Most will say they realize the dangers, but there’s always a few who put up their hands saying, “I’m really good at texting and I would only do it at a stop sign or stop light.” Since drivers rarely get to experience how poorly they drive while texting or talking on a cell phone, we have had to incorporate this
KELOWNA: Full Driving Course: Dec 4 3 Saturdays Dec 21-23 3 Days Dec 28-30 3 Days
in our driving program with Driving Simulators. We can play their drive back to them showing the driver where they almost hit a pedestrian, on a simulator. We can show them where they went wrong picking up their cell phone as a vehicle was running a red light at an intersection. These lessons are invaluable and often change the minds of “behind the wheel texters”! If you had the chance to speak to the families who have been impacted by texting and driving, I believe you would think twice before performing this risky behaviour behind the wheel.
Why does it have to take you being involved in a crash or injuring a pedestrian in an intersection to give this up? Is the law not enough? Put the phone down and drive wise!
