The Olympic flame left Kelowna Tuesday morning after a raucous greeting the night before. The flame, burning in one of 12,000 specially made white and silver torches, arrived in the city to a thunderous ovation Monday night as a crowd in excess of the expected 15,000 greeted it in City Park.

As he did, the huge crowd roared its approval. “This is really exciting,” said a smiling Frandsen. He was one of 11 torchbearers to carry the flame in Kelowna on Monday night, followed by 52 more on Tuesday morning, including local favourites such as retired United Church Minister and Capital News columnist Albert Baldeo and retired fire chief Gerry Zimmermann.

We can’t change drought, flooding and snow levels, so we must adapt to the forecast that will more frequently affect our lives, says Anna Warwick Sears, the executive director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board. She was speaking at a press conference held Monday to announce that the Fraser Basin Council will be the lead agency for the first B.C. Regional Adaptation Collaborative, which received a total of $6.9 million in funding for 13 linked projects to be used by 18 partners over the next few years all designed to help B.C. communities adapt to climate change. The announcement was made jointly by by Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Stockwell Day, who is also now the head of the federal treasury board, and Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart, B.C. Minister of Citizens’ Services. The funding will include nearly $300,000 for the Okanagan Basin Water Board to complete the third phase of the Okanagan Valley’s Water Supply and Demand Study

‘It’s an awesome opportunity and it’s great to be a Canadian’ Fever from A1 Stolz, who hollered for joy when his torch was lit on the Kelowna side of the William R. Bennett Bridge at 6:28 p.m. Monday evening. As he headed up Harvey Avenue he jumped in the air waving the torch in the night sky. “It’s awesome,” said Stolz when asked how it felt to be the first torchbearer in Kelowna. “I’m really proud. It’s an awesome opportunity and it’s great to be a Canadian.” Half an hour later,

Frandsen carried the torch into the park and lit the cauldron on the large stage set up for the event. By the time the torch arrived in the park, the crowd had been whipped up into a frenzy by entertainers and the celebration continued even after the cauldron was lit. Young and old danced and cheered and waved thousands of small paper Canadian flags. A beaming Mayor Sharon Shepherd called the turnout “absolutely amazing.”

She was smiling even more after the huge crowd serenaded her with a chorus of happy birthday to mark her 60th birthday on Monday . “This really was a day full of surprises,” said Shepherd after the ceremony. Campbell, sporting a recuperative boot on his right foot after undergoing minor surgery recently, said he wanted to come to the Okanagan to help welcome the flame. He told the crowd the Olympic flame has shone brighter and brighter since re-entering B.C. late last week. “These are Canada’s Olympics, these are B.C.’s Olympics and, tonight, these are Kelowna’s Olympics,” Campbell shouted to a huge cheer from the crowd.

He then led the thousands on hand in a rousing “Go Canada, Go” cheer.

young and old, with many families showing up on the fine but chilly evening. For eight-year-old Brianna Bobbitt, who waited for hours with her mom to see the torch carried by Frandsen, the wait was worth it. The little girl, who is going to be at the Olympic Games opening ceremonies in Vancouver Feb. 12 with her family, as well as see some hockey games, said she was very exited to be so close to the torch. Standing just a few feet from Frandsen as he ran past in the park, the youngster said she was there because it was about Canada and “that’s my country.” For others, such as Kelowna’s Burton Bigford, 51, carrying the torch was a dream come true. He carried the torch in Penticton earlier in the day and then went to City Park to see it arrive in his own city. “It’s beautiful. I am awestruck,” he said as people gathered around him to have their picture taken with him and his torch. He said he planned to encase the torch and his torchbearers uniform “as is” to preserve the moment.

WEST KELOWNA

Pure coincidence led to one runner carrying Olympic torch Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

Being in the right place at the right time, led to a memory of a lifetime for Olympic torchbearer Robin MacMillan. The Kelowna resident was given the opportunity to carry the Olympic Flame, on one of the 300metre legs of the torch relay through West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation on Monday afternoon, thanks to pure coincidence. “I came to watch my granddaughter perform here tonight. We were the early birds, sitting up in the bleachers by ourselves,” said MacMillan. He wanted a good seat at Royal LePage Place arena, where the District of West Kelowna would hold its Light the Way after party, featuring performances by school choirs and bands and speeches from Olympic Torch bearers.

“A woman just walked up to me and said, ‘Would you like to be a torchbearer?’” Macmillan shared. As it turns out one of the torchbearers didn’t show and a last minute replacement had to be found. MacMillan was beaming with happiness as he carried his Olympic Torch at the post-relay celebration. About 90 minutes earlier in the day, the flame had made its way into West Kelowna, stopping first at the Westbank Holiday Inn, where local radio personality Kristine Jones was the first to carry the

As she took her torch from the Vancouver Olympic caravan and walked into the crowd, people flocked around her, requesting to touch the lantern. Jones was delighted to share the moment. As Jones began the first West Kelowna leg of the relay the cheers were deafening and national pride was euphoric. The hundreds of people lining Highway 97 through Westbank waved Canadian and British Columbian flags, donned Maple Leaf hats or wore Canada’s signature red 2010 Olympic mittens. Officials had to remind many onlookers to stand back to make way for torchbearers as the crowd tried inching out onto the cordoned off highway to get a better

vantage point for a rare if not once in a lifetime glimpse of the flame. When the flame arrived at West Kelowna’s Mount Boucherie Civic Centre about 45 minutes later, security there was also challenged to hold back the crowds that yelled “Go Canada Go,” along the relay route. The number of Olympic fans was an estimated 1,500 at the municipality’s celebration, judging by how many people later packed the nearby Royal LePage Place to near capacity to take in West Kelowna’s Light the Way ceremony. After the event, children approached torchbearers like Gorman’s mill owner Ron Gorman, who kindly obliged their requests to hold one of the torches that carried the flame through the com-

munity. “I’m thrilled to be part of this,” Gorman told the crowd moments earlier. “When we’re part of something that’s bigger than we are, it lifts us up. It makes us more than we are individually. That’s what sports do. “There’s nothing better than being on a team. You kids join the teams that are out there. “Do the sports you love to do and one day you may be standing with the Olympic Flame, holding the torch, holding the gold ring.” The flame also journeyed through Westbank First Nation’s Pine Stadium on Monday afternoon where it was greeted by native drummers and blessed in a prayer by WFN elder Mary-Ann Eli and Wilfred Barnes. jluciw@kelownacapnews.com

Do you know why broccoli is so good for you? The answer lies in its vibrant green color. That color comes from cancer-ﬁghting phytochemicals, which when coupled with eating a diet low in fat and sodium and rich in fruits and vegetables, including broccoli, may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Plus, it tastes good! Just ask Tom Landers. He likes broccoli so much that he holds the current world record for eating 1 pound of it in 92 seconds!

PM sent a message by anti-prorogue Kelowna voters Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

About 100 protesters in Kelowna joined thousands of others across the country on the weekend to protest Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s decision to prorogue Parliament. Accused of doing it simply to avoid questions about the transfer of Afghan detainees by Canadian soldiers and the possibility of a forced election by the Opposition parties, Harper was blasted by speaker after speaker during a lunch-hour rally in the parking lot of the Capri Centre on Saturday. Organizer Lisa Dahrouge, a student at UBC Okanagan, said she was happy with the turnout. Dahrouge said people she has heard from are extremely upset that the prime minister has shut down Parliament until after the Vancou-

ver Winter Olympics, extending the winter break for MPs by two months. One of the results of the prorogation is that all the proposed legislation that was in place died on the order paper when the last session of Parliament ended. Tish Lakes, a former local NDP candidate in the last provincial and federal elections, spoke to the crowd, saying while MPs may be working in their constituencies when Parliament is on an enforced hiatus, Canada’s political system is not being allowed to work properly. She pointed to a recent Globe and Mail article that quoted an academic as saying the tactic of shutting down Parliament to “re-calibrate” the government, as Harper has described it, is something foreign to British-style parliamentary democracies. While there were many signs in the crowd urging MPs to get back

to work, there were also catcalls, including from one man who shouted “we’re paying them” when Lakes said Canadians want their elected parliamentarians back at work in Ottawa. The protest drew a mixture of young and old as Dahrouge said the group behind the protests, a national organization called Canadian Against Proroguing Parliament, is non-partisan. Other similar rallies were held across B.C. and the country with an estimated 1,000 people showing up in Vancouver. Local MP Ron Cannan, who has defended the prime minister’s suspension of Parliament and whose office is located in the nearby Capri Centre Mall, was invited to the protest, said Dahrouge, but declined to attend. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

ley is among areas with the highest drought risk in Canada, with some of the fastest population growth, and an economy that is heavily dependent on water for the agriculture, tourism and retirement industries,” she said. “Despite the known risks, very little work has been done to ensure the reliability of supplies for the future—until now.” The announcement for funding to continue the work is very significant for the Okanagan, she said. Day said collaboration is needed in order to tackle watershed challenges, and that doesn’t happen easily when a lot of different groups are involved.

CREATION OF Canada’s first Regional Adaptation Collaborative, in response to climate change, is a creation of various levels of government as well as other agencies. At the funding announcement for this initiative on Monday were (from left) Stockwell Day, Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla; Anna Warwick Sears, director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board; David Marshall, director of the Fraser Basin Council; and Ben Stewart, Liberal MLA for Westside-Kelowna. “It has set the gold standard for the province,” he said. The OBWB is composed of regional district directors from all the districts in the valley. FBC executive director David Marshall brought out the old Mark Twain quote that: ‘Whisky (or wine, he said, since the announcement was at Quails’ Gate Winery) is for drinking; water is for fighting over.’

With some preparation now, we should be able to reduce the conflicts over water in the future, he said. This is a true collaborative effort, with a wide range of users involved in working to reduce future strife over water. OBWB water stewardship director Nelson Jatel said this money will help them connect the science, the policy and the

people. How and when water conservation impacts agriculture is one question people must discuss; and how much water is wasted on landscaping. “Agricultural use of water makes money; using it on the landscaping doesn’t,” he commented. “This funding will help us prepare for the future.” jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Cardiac care funding revealed for KGH Alistair Waters

PREMIER Gordon

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Campbell checks his heart beat with a stethoscope at a press conference for KGH expansion funding on Monday.

First came news of the program. Now comes news of the building to house it in. Less than a year after the B.C. government approved Kelowna General Hospital as the fifth site in the province to provide full cardiac care service— including open heart surgery—Premier Gordon Campbell has announced $448.2 million to build a new, stand-alone building and adjacent clinical support building to house the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre. The building, for years the subject of intense lobbying by local doctors and health authority officials, will be a 12,970-squaremetre, five-storey structure that will replace the existing, aging Pandosy building at the hospital. As part of the project, a new 7,850-square-metre clinical support building will also be created and there will be renovations to the existing Royal and Strathcona buildings. The hospital is already undergoing a huge addition with the construction of a six-storey tower, the new Centennial building, and the addition of a clinical teaching campus for the UBC School of Medicine’s Southern program. The campus building was officially opened by Campbell Monday and the new Centennial Building is slated to open in 2012. The two are part of a $435 million project that includes a new tower at Vernon’s Jubilee Hospital. The Kelowna work

accounts for about threequarters of the money being spent on the two-city project. In addition to the provincial money for the new heart centre, the Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District will kick in another $91.3 million for that project. It contributed $166 million to the Centennial Building. “In the last year, the cardiac program has moved in leaps and bounds,” said an elated Dr. Richard Hooper, a local cardiologist and program director for Interior Health’s regional cardiac services. Hooper said he has been working on creation of a stand-alone cardiac centre here for the last 10

years. He called the new heart centre the “crown on which the rest of the (regional health service) jewels will hang on.” Cardiac angioplasties are already being done here and open heart surgery is scheduled to start at the hospital in 2012. While no start date has been confirmed for construction of the new heart centre, Campbell said all the components of the project should be open by 2017 at the latest. The new centre will be a public private partnership, said the premier. By doing it that way, he said the government will save as much as $25 million. The announcement about the heart centre was made during the official opening ceremony

for the new clinical teaching campus building at KGH for UBC’s provincial medical school. The high-tech centre will complement a new $30-million academic medical school building currently under construction on the campus of UBC Okanagan. The medical school building at KGH will eventually house 128 students in all four years of the medical degree program, with the first 32 students slated to start in January 2012. Between now and January 2012, the building will be used by third and fourth year students coming here to learn at the hospital from Vancouver, as well as by staff from the hospital and other IH personnel.

California side of Wendy’s Dreamlift here to see how it’s done By Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The woman who helps make Wendy’s Dreamlift Day happen in southern California will get a first hand look at how the money is raised on this side of the border today. Marilyn MacDougall,

executive director of the Orange County Sheriff’s Advisory Council in Santa Ana, is here for the 16th annual Wendy’s Dreamlift Day. The fundraiser, which collects money from the sale of all food at nine Wendy’s restaurants in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Penticton, Kamloops and Sal-

MacDougall, a 26year veteran of the sheriff’s department, coordinates the participation of 125 members of her department each year and is here as part of a sevenperson contingent from California. They were invited by organizers to participate in the massive local fundraiser and see how it runs. “It’s important for us to see how it is done here,” she said, “to see how much work is done here.” MacDougall, who runs the volunteer and educational work of the sheriff’s department in Orange County, has been the Californian connection for Dreamlift since it started in 1995. And she said there is no shortage of volunteers among the deputy sheriff’s when it comes time to pair them up with kids from here. “I find that once they do it, it gets addictive and they want to come back and do it again next time,” she said. On the day of the

MARILYN MACDOUGALL, executive director of the Orange County Sheriff’s Advisory Council getting ready for Wendy’s Dreamlift Day with Orange County Cmdr. Dave Wilson. Disneyland visit, members of the sheriff’s department volunteer their

time to meet the kids at the Orange Country airport, escort them to the

park and stay with them during their day. In addition to the deputy sheriffs, many other department personnel also participate each year. MacDougall said she normally has at least two department members— often deputy sheriffs in uniform—accompany a child in a wheelchair. But the generosity of the police officers does not stop with their participation. Often, she said, the police officers spend their own money buying keepsakes at the park for the kids they accompany. In Kelowna, MacDougall is travelling with Cmdr. Dave Wilson, a deputy sheriff who is no stranger to this area at Dreamlift Day time. For the last three years Wilson has been here at this time of year, visiting Wendy’s restaurants in Kelowna and Vernon, helping to promote event. “It’s a cliché but we get into law enforcement to help people and this is a great opportunity to do just that,” said Wilson. “It’s a special day.” Calling Dreamlift a “truly international event,”

Wilson said the level of commitment he has seen here, from the Wendy’s officials and staff, local leaders and celebrities, the RCMP and the public is something very special. Last year, Dreamlift Day raised nearly $90,000. The last trip to Disneyland took place in December, when 81 children were flown to southern California free of charge on a special Alaska Airlines Disneyland plane. Today, all proceeds from the sale of food at the Wendy’s restaurants as well as the wages of all the Wendy’s staff who volunteer go to the cause. Todd Lewis, area partner for Inland Restaurants, said each year the total amount of money raised grows and that is expected to continue this year. He said in addition to current staff who ask to participate, there are many former Wendy’s staff who ask if they can come back and help on the day. “This event really has taken on a life of its own,” said Lewis. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Orchardists gather to discuss farming issues Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Both the federal and provincial agriculture ministers will address orchardists at the annual B.C. Fruit Growers Association annual convention in Kelowna later this week. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz will make an announcement at the opening of the public part of the 121st annual BCFGA general meeting on Friday at 1 p.m. at the Capri Hotel. His provincial counterpart, local MLA Steve Thomson, will be back on home turf Saturday morning to address delegates and members on the second day of the convention. Association business on the first afternoon will include discussions about

labour, environment and water, as well as financial business and the budget. There will be a social from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. when awards will be presented by the association. On the Saturday morning, the convention will open with a discussion about crop protection and the sterile insect release program before Thomson addresses the group. He served as general manager for the BCFGA a number of years ago. Elections will also be held Saturday, although pre-conference nominations are unanimous, except for the position of vice-president, with incumbent Kirpal Boparai of Kelowna being challenged by Fred Steele also of Kelowna. Boparai replaced Steele in a similar contest last year.

At the closing lunch on the Saturday, the guest speaker will be Steve Kennedy, brand strategist with Seed Ideas, a marketing company. There will be 18 delegates representing the four regions of the Okanagan and Similkameen, and 850 commercial orchards which generate more than $130 million in fresh fruit sales annually wholesale, along with $120 million to Sun-Rype, the main fruit processor. At regional meetings, growers have put forward 27 resolutions for debate by the membership at this year’s convention, from issues such as starling control to accommodation and pay for workers, marketing and promotion. The theme for this year’s convention is Pursuing Sustainability. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

But, we have been to Dominican Republic, which is on the other side of the island from Haiti… and they would have felt the quake.” “It might have been cool to feel it.” That was my 11-yearold’s first impression; the terrifying tremor was so distant and removed from our lives it sounded at first more like a thrilling Dis-

dents had a two-day sale to see how much they could raise from selling bags of popcorn to their fellow students. How much does a bag of popcorn run these days? The students expected a buck or two a bag. It turned out a few bags went for more than $200. The children were awestruck by the generosity that resulted in a whopping bundle of just more than $4,000 for Haiti, a country they knew little about weeks ago. “I was surprised, big time.” said Colton Zarowny. But, the reason was clear why the outpouring came. “It’s good to feel that we’re helping people really far away from us,” Colton said. They’re hoping to find a local company to double their collection and then, when the Canadian government matches it, they could see the donation grow to $16,000. Kayla Shepard said she was impressed by the results. “It felt good that we were doing it…and it was fun, too.” One teacher brought in a giant bag of change for the kids to count, resulting in a total of $59 in change. And as much as the students were impressed by the families and staff in the school for pitching in, they also felt strongly about the people in Haiti. “It was pretty scary,” said Renee Diemert about watching the images on TV. “They lost everything…and they didn’t have much anyway.” All the students chimed in: “It was the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.” Said Logan Kosta-Hemingway: “People were really scared. They didn’t know what to do. I feel really sad. I’d like to do all I can to help them.” Added Madison Smith, “We did this to be global citizens…to help people not just in our community, but far away.” Shelley Nicholl owns Mad Squid media-pr, which provides media, public relations and writing services. madsquid@shaw.ca www.madsquidmediapr.com

So, too, was the impact on the world, as we watched from afar how a country already in need of aid was suddenly thrust into dealing with a disaster which will claim

thousands of lives, leaves countless homeless and will take years of struggle to repair. The images of dusty, bloodied victims crying in despair prompted an outpouring of support from Canadians. So, too, did the shockwaves hit my daughter and her classmates.

tacted the police. While the fire was being fought, West Kelowna Rural RCMP obtained a seach warrant executed the warrant at 12:35 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

Police seized 233 mature plants from the house along with two firearms. The residence on Bulyea Avenue is a rental property. The two occupants, a 33-year-old male

and a 27-year-old female, were not there when the search warrant was executed but their identities are known, and one is known to police. The grow operation

was not the cause of the fire, say police. Charges of possession of a controlled substance, production of a controlled substance and unsafe storage of a firearm are expected.

Option to save farmland

STAFF REPORTER

So-called orchard estates may save farming rather than hinder it, Coun. Graeme James told Kelowna city council Monday afternoon.

While traditionally condemned for sucking up valuable farmland, James told council the multi-million dollar estate properties inhabited by wealthy landowners do offer some value as they are a way to ensure the land is

still farmed, regardless of whether a farmer actually lives on it. “I really think this is a way we can secure agricultural land and I know it could be called an estate, but the average farmer can’t afford to buy land

like this,” said James as council tried to evaluate an application to add a suite over a garage on McCurdy Road East Monday afternoon. “Whether it’s being leased out (or not), it’s still being farmed,” James

added, noting it could be the wave of the future. The application in question was to add a suite for in-laws on top of a seven-car garage described as a building existing outside the farming uses expected of such a structure.

“This proposal appears to convert a bona fide orchard to a mini estate, which in the long term diminishes the viability of the site being honoured as an agricultural land practice,” said city planner Danielle Noble. In this particular instance, the original farmer who owned the land had received approval from the Agricultural Land Commission to sever his home from the farm and sell the farmland to a new owner. That new owner purchased the land and maxed out its building potential with a large home, road and seven-car garage. The city has a policy that no more than 10 per cent of the farmland left over after a home site severance can be used to build the new landowner a home and road access; although up to 35 per cent can be covered by buildings, provided the additional structures are necessary to run the farm. In this particular application, the city also missed checking whether the new landowners would have an easement allowing them access to the road to enter their property. The easement didn’t exist and the original landowner used the opportunity to try and exact the return of a small portion of farmland in exchange for granting his new neighbours access to the road. With that farmland, new owner Michael Matvieshen told council the original farmer would have tried to secure farm status and the reduced tax rate it ensures. The new property owners refused the offer, saying they had paid good money for the land. It meant another road had to be cut into the active farmland and hence more agricultural land was lost. As a result, council has now decided to ensure checking for such easements becomes policy for all home site severances. The Matvieshens were given council’s blessing to go ahead with building their suite over their garage for their in-laws— though the body with the authority to make the final decision is the ALC, so the couple will have to pursue the matter with the provincial commission before going ahead. The in-laws are said to be retired dairy farmers who plan to work on the couple’s orchard. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

a n u a h Conversations with S Do I need to add fish oil supplements to my diet? Linoleic and Alpha-Linolenic Acid are two EFA’s (Essential Fatty Acids) that are building blocks of 20 different fatty acids needed in your body. Your body cannot manufacture them so you must get them in your diet. Omega-3 fatty acids can be derived from AlphaLinolenic Acid (vegetarian sources) or from fish oils and Omega-6 fatty acids can be derived from Linoleic Acid. These EFAs control prostaglandin functions which regulate hormones, inflammation, pain and swelling. An ideal ratio of Omega 6 to 3 is between 1:1 and 4:1 in tissue cells which varies throughout the body. Most North Americans consume far too much Omega 6 to 3, showing ratios of 10:1 to as high as 40:1. The imbalance causes an Omega 3 deficiency which is linked to many serious health conditions. Omega 3 relieves the symptoms of inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease and auto immune diseases such as cancer, asthma, & lupus,

psoriasis, allergies, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Omega 3 is also known to improve skin conditions and influences the structure of cells in the intestinal tract improving symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. Omega 3 is most abundant in the brain, (60%) where it is used for connecting brain cells to each other and controlling the transmission of brain signals. Low levels of Omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to health conditions such as schizophrenia, depression, postpartum depression, ADHD, memory loss, and visual problems. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, suggested that high levels of Omega-3 in the blood are associated with a slower rate of biological aging. If you are concerned about whether or not your are eating enough fish in your diet or if you have any of the above conditions then I would highly recommend adding fish oils to your diet.

Kelowna to host Int’l Children’s Games in January, 2011 Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The countdown for the games is on—though this particular clock will take another year to wind its way down to the opening ceremonies. During this same week next year, from January 25 to 31, Kelowna will play host to the International Children’s Games as officially decided this week with the signing of the agreement to do so Tuesday morning. Kelowna is the first host city for an ICG winter games outside of Europe, city council was told

when a delegation from the games committee arrived this week to seal the deal. “This is really a milestone in the history of the International Children’s Games. All the people I have talked to are really excited to bring more than 1,000 people to your city,” said Torsten Rasch, ICG president, as he addressed city council Monday afternoon. The games began in 1968 after its founder, Slovenian sports instructor Metod Klemenc, decided he wanted to do something to create a better world based on friend-

ship, rather than hate. The games will draw 1,200 children to the city, and the figure does not include the athletes’ coaches and families who are also expected to fill local hotels and motels midwinter. The delegates were on hand to watch recordbreaking crowds flow downtown for the Olympic torch ceremony Monday night and help Mayor Sharon Shepherd ring in her 60th birthday. Rasch told her he would bring a children’s choir to sing for the occasion next year. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Hamilton in Hall

DAVE CONNOR/CONTIBUTOR

MARIA TOTH (left) of the Swedish women’s national hockey team gets a scoring chance, while Pursuit of Excellence defender Brooklyn Langlois (right) helps out goaltender Carmen Agar in exhibition hockey action Sunday at Prospera Place. The Swedes, who won 7-1, are training in Kelowna before heading to Vancouver Feb. 4 to prepare for the Olympic Games.

The architect of three Western Hockey League titles and one Memorial Cup championship in a six-year span has been enshrined into the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame. Kelowna Rockets’ president and general manager Bruce Hamilton was named Monday as one of four new inductees for 2010. Joining Hamilton in the hall are former NHL players Trevor Linden and Dallas Drake, along with B.C. Hockey’s Frank Lento. “I’m very humbled and very honoured,” said Hamilton, who was honoured with the other inductees during Monday night’s NHL game in Vancouver. “In my eyes I think this is an organizational award because I have good people around me to help run our team and our business.” As president, GM and governor of the Rockets, Hamilton guided the team to the 2003, 2005 and 2009 WHL titles, and the Memorial Cup championship on home ice in 2004. Kelowna made four Memorial Cup appearances between 2003 and 2009, the most of any team in major junior hockey during the decade. A dedicated hockey executive, Hamilton has

Bruce Hamilton

twice served as the chairman of the WHL’s board of governors—from 1998 to 2004, and again from 2008 to present when he took over from the late Ed Chynoweth. The Hamilton family was granted a WHL franchise in Tacoma for the 1991-2 campaign. Four seasons later, the team moved to Kelowna. The building of a rich hockey tradition and a proud alumni in Kelowna have been the guiding principles under Hamilton’s leadership. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would be looked upon this way,” said Hamilton. “I’m just trying to go about my job and make it as good as we possibly can make it.” The 2010 inductees will be honoured at the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame induction banquet, Jan. 23 in Penticton.

With return of health come wins for Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Ryan Huska and the Kelowna Rockets coaching staff find themselves in unfamiliar, yet welcome territory these days—having to decide on which player not to dress for each game. With the return of forward Geordie Wudrick to the Rockets’ lineup on Saturday night in Prince George, Huska and Co. were forced to make a healthy scratch for one of the few times all season.

Ravaged by injuries since late September, nights with a replete roster have indeed been rare. “This is a very good thing for our group to finally have the extra body,” said Huska. “The players feel better about themselves when everybody’s ready to go and wants to play. “If gives us the option now that if someone isn’t competing,” added Huska, “then we’ve got another guy who can come in and do the job. It’s one of the best tools you can

have to get the guys to understand how hard they have to work and compete to stay in the lineup.” With Spencer Main (concussion) set to return to the fold in the coming days, only F Evan Bloodoff (knee, 6 weeks) remains on the Rockets’ injury list. With injuries as one of the main culprits, the Rockets endured one of their worst slumps in recent years with 12 losses in 13 games between Dec. 15 and Jan. 20. But over the weekend

in Prince George, there were signs the Rockets just may be righting the ship as they scored a pair of convincing wins over the Cougars, 4-1 and 6-2. “It’s great to get a couple of wins because it takes a tremendous amount of weight off everybody’s shoulders… the coaches, the players, everybody around the team,” said Huska. “This way the players can go out and play instead of worrying about being in a slump. It’s important now for us not to take a step

back after getting a couple of good wins under our belt.” And the Rockets will be looking for their first three-game winning streak since October when they host the Seattle Thunderbirds tonight at 7 at Prospera Place. The T-Birds are one four teams playing sub500 hockey that the Rockets will meet over the next 10 days. Prince George, Lethbridge and Edmonton are also on the menu, but Huska still doesn’t expect any easy points.

A vehicle was stopped for driving at night with no headlights on. A truck was stopped, on Glenmore Road at 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 23, for driving erratically after playing a “cat and mouse” chase game with a motorcycle. The driver had an N and was given a violation ticket for driving contrary to restrictions, as well as the 24-hour suspension. Two passengers in the bed of the truck received tickets for not wearing seatbelts. And a front seat passenger was ticketed for minor in possession of alcohol. In another instance, a Grand Forks male was also charged for driving while disqualified. In all situations where a person is charged under 215 of the Motor Vehicle Act, the vehicle they are driving is towed until it can be released to the owner, or someone with a valid driver’s licence. Further, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles can also impose driving sanctions based on the number of 24hour suspensions received within a period of time.

BUSINESS Kelowna pastor to help counsel Olympic athletes Maxine DeHart

n 2000, Rev. Don Richmond, who is the community pastor at the Evangel Church, began a new journey into the sports chaplaincy field, giving counsel, lasting advice and words of spiritual wisdom to young athletes. Since then he has been the chaplain for the Vernon Vipers hockey team, has been approved to become the chaplaincy program coordinator for the B.C. Hockey League, was the B.C. representative for Hockey Ministries International and is the chaplain for the Westside Warriors. Richmond has been applying to be a chaplain at the 2010 Winter Olympics since early 2009 and has now received full accreditation to be at the Vancouver Olympic Village, volunteering as an Olympic chaplain for four weeks. Each day, he will be interacting with Olympic athletes and officials, helping them deal with the stresses of competition as well as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;away from the sportâ&#x20AC;? pressures of being world class athletes. Mobil 1 Lube Express has opened at 2305 Enterprise Way (next to Budget Brake & Muffler), owned and operated by franchisees Pat and Michelle Chassie, who have relocated from Alberta.

BUSINESS ▼ RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The benefits of having older employees in the workforce

Watch for Canada Pension plan changes expected to come in 2012 A

ne of the primary aspects of most Canadians’ planned retirement income is Canada Pension Plan (CPP) retirement benefits. Effective in 2012, the CPP will be implementing a series of changes to how those benefits are calculated. Bill C-51, Parliament’s legislation implementing the federal budget, received royal assent on Dec. 15. The changes it proposes will, among other things, enable some Canadians to combine pensions and ongoing income from work. There are four main changes headed Canadians’ way as a result of the passage of Bill C-51. First, workers will no longer have to cease work or reduce their earnings in order to collect CPP retirement pension benefits before age 65. Currently, workers must either cease working, or not earn more than a prescribed amount, in order to qualify to collect benefits (this is called the “work cessation test”). The impact of this change will be that workers will be able to combine their pension benefits and unreduced work income prior to age 65. Second, the rate at which Canadians’ low earning years are excluded from the calculation of their benefits entitlements (this is called “low earnings dropout”) will be increased. CPP uses Canadians’ average pensionable earnings levels for the purpose of calculating their CPP pension benefits entitlement. Increasing the rate at which our low earning years are excluded from the calculation can have the effect of increasing our average earnings and the resulting benefits figure. Third, CPP retirement pension benefit recipients who continue to work will (along with their employers) continue making premium contributions, thus continuing to build their pension. After age 65, continuing contributions will be voluntary. It seems that the effect of this change may be that some Canadians will have the opportunity to receive benefits payments exceeding the prescribed

Robert Smithson maximum. Finally, the rates at which retirement pension benefits are adjusted for early and late commencement of receipt of benefits will be changed. For those who begin receipt of benefits prior to age 65, the rate at which their retirement pension benefits are adjusted downward will be gradually increased. And, for those who begin receipt of benefits after age 65, the rate at which their retirement pension benefits are adjusted upward will also be gradually increased. In effect, the penalty for early receipt of benefits will increase but so

will the bonus for late commencement of benefits. Some experts in the tax and finance sector suggest that, in all cases, it’s best to start collecting your CPP retirement pension benefits at the earliest possible moment. Still, whether you choose to begin to receive benefits as early as age 60 or as late as age 70 is a decision which must be made based on your personal circumstances. Canadians should consult with a financial advisor or accountant in this regard. It is important to note that these changes will not affect existing CPP retirement pension beneficiaries or those who begin receiving their benefits before the changes come into effect. All in all, these changes to the CPP seem likely to get a positive reception. They allow older workers more flexibility and have the potential for

resulting in greater retirement pension benefits for some (if not necessarily all) Canadians.

nyone who has been in the workforce for a long time knows that management opportunities are not what they once were. It used to be that the longer you stayed with a company, the better the chances that you’d eventually get promoted into the management ranks. This reward often required years of hard work and lots of patience which is why managers used to be so easy to identify. Typically they were older, they may or may not have post-secondary education, and they had years of practical experience behind them. They had worked hard, paid their dues, so to speak, and promotion into management was expected as a natural career path. This assumption is no longer reliable—all we have to do is look around at today’s companies. The face of management has changed and its youthfulness can be disconcerting. As employers increasingly rely on technology to give them a competitive edge, they need to hire technologically astute employees and managers. The result is a new breed of younger, differently educated workers whose specialized technical skills often lead them into management positions at much ear-

lier ages. If you’re an older worker, that means you could now find yourself reporting to someone the age of your son or daughter. In some cases that can Laurie be a bitter pill to swallow Mills if you are already feeling fragile about your age and the appeal of your own skills and experience. In others instances, it will provide a unique opportunity for you to learn and grow. You may well have embraced technology quite willingly in the last decade or so and consider your technical skills to be very competent. That’s just a smart career move. Typically however, the younger generations still have an edge in this area because they were raised with technology. Using it to communicate and get things done is second nature for them. What these younger workers have not yet achieved though is the breadth of experience or depth of intellectual knowledge that comes with age. Consequently, in management roles their styles can seem unsophisticated and immature. On a positive note, bridging generational differences in technical skills and workplace wisdom can create wonderful opportunities for mutual mentorship.

BUSINESS

Experience does matter

Worplace from B3 Undeniably, an organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is a result of collective efforts. The knowledge and expertise of a seasoned employee are critical to getting the job done well. On the other hand, young managers offer fresh perspectives which, along with their education and

technical proficiency can often rejuvenate an organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations. Smart business leaders recognize the need for these complementary talents and will build a team culture around them to draw out the best in everyone.

Has Gout Affected You? Gout is an extremely painful condition that can effect people of all races and ages. It can effect both men and women but it is more common in men. It is uncommon in children and young adults. Gout used to be considered a problem for the rich, kings, gentry, and others who ate too much and drank too much wine. Some people have a genetic predisposition due to a disorder of purine metabolism. In these individuals attacks of gout can be triggered by eating foods high in purines and by consuming high quantities of alcohol. Others can have secondary gout. Secondary gout is associated with another medical condition such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, certain medications, particularly diuretics (water pills), salicylates (aspirin), and niacin. Gout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the blood which settlles out as uric acid crystals in the joints. This causes pain, redness, and swelling. Any joint can be involved. Classic signs of gout are pain, redness, and swelling in the big toe or elbow. The pain can be both chronic or can present suddenly. A number of therapies are available. Some more successful than others. SciMed Research is starting a research trial to evaluate a new investigational therapy to lower uric acid, the cause of gout. If you have been diagnosed with or suffer from gout symptoms you may qualify to participate in this research trial. Please call SciMed Research to register for a no cost obligation consultation to see if you are an appropriate candidate for this gout study.

Asthma is Increasing! Asthma is effecting many more people in developed countries than ever before. Children are missing school, their parents are experiencing more time off work due to the complications of asthma. No one is quite sure why asthma is on the rise. Some studies suggest it is because most young children are now being raised in a much cleaner environment than they were years ago. This eliminates exposure to environmental irritants which prevents their young bodies from producing antibodies early to give them protection later in life. Therefore, they are without this natural protection and may be more vulnerable to environmental challenges. There are two components to asthma. The individual susceptibility and environmental exposure. A person with asthma has more sensitive airways which react to challenges to a much greater degree. The big four challenges are irritants, infections, exercise, and emotions. At SciMed we believe asthma is a primary protective response to irritants and other factors that could damage a persons sensitive airways. As a protection, when challenged the airways tighten up to cause the wheeze and the shortness of breath, associated with asthma. With the right medication and avoiding environmental challenges, people with asthma can and should lead a near normal life. t *G ZPV IBWF CFFO EJBHOPTFE PS TVGGFS GSPN BTUINB t "SF DVSSFOUMZ B OPO TNPLFS t 8PVME ZPV MJLF UP LOPX NPSF BCPVU ZPVS DPOEJUJPO If your answer to one or more of the above questions is yes, you may qualify to participate in a research study with a new investigational oral therapy for asthma.

RBC donates to Centre for Excellence campaign RBC has donated $135,000 to the campaign to establish Okanagan Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Building Technologies and Renewable Energy Conservation. RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution will help realize the Okanagan College Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $5 million capital fundraising campaign to finance the development of the $28 million Centre of Excellence in Penticton, which is being designed and built to meet one of the most demanding set of environmental standards, the Living Building Challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is exciting to be a part of such a unique and inspiring project,â&#x20AC;? said Karen Borring-Olsen, a regional vice-president of RBC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;RBC is pleased to join the growing network of community-minded donors, both citizens and corporations, who share a vision for education, in-

novation and sustainable growth in the Okanagan,â&#x20AC;? said Borring-Olsen. The announcement of RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donation was made Monday during the Olympic Torch Relay community event held in Kelowna. RBC is the presenting partner of the 2010 Torch Relay, which invited thousands of Canadians to participate in the relay through its carrythetorch. com campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been extremely fortunate to partner with a number of organizations that have taken the time to grasp just how important and groundbreaking this building will be for the Okanagan,â&#x20AC;? said John Walker, president and CEO of Fortis and chair of the Okanagan College Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The addition of RBC as our largest corporate donor is tremendous news for the campaign and for Okanagan College.â&#x20AC;?

For the Okanagan College board governor Brian Hughes, news of the donation hit homeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he is also a vice-president for RBC Dominion Securities in Penticton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have the privilege of working with Okanagan College through the board of governors and know first-hand how much great work is being done by the College in the South Okanagan,â&#x20AC;? explained Hughes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take a great deal of pride in the fact that RBC is stepping up to support such an important project for the people and future of this region.â&#x20AC;?

Vista meets accounting needs C

onsidering Microsoft Vistaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tepid performance and negative reviews, consumers are justifiably rhesitant in embracing Microsoftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new operating system Windows 7. r But after a few days of using the new OS, however, and even the most sceptical user will be wondering how they ever worked without it. Windows 7 offers a number of improvements over older versions, most notably system performance, document and device management, and fnavigation. A 28 per cent detcrease in RAM usage, and ta whopping 40 per cent decrease in Disk space trims down Windows 7 considerably from Vistaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bloated requirements. What this means for the user are quicker startup, sleep and resume functions with programs (especially large ones) loading noticeably faster than before. The system crashes rthat plagued many Vista users are now a thing of the past, and multiple documents and programs work together seamlessly and stay open until you close them down. The new Library feature is helpful for disorganized file systems. If you need to locate a picture or document, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall exactly where it was saved, the Library will automatically store a link to all similar file types in one handy place. Just open the library and all your pictures are together with your documents right next door. Windows 7 also consolidates device management, and automatically installs any required drivers as soon as a new printer, camera, scanner, etc. is plugged in. For users with multiple printers or cameras, a thumbnail image of your actual device stands in as the icon, making identifying the correct camera or printer a breeze. My favourite new feature on Windows 7 is the improved navigation. Mac users might recognize the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aero Peekâ&#x20AC;? function located on the bottom task bar. By hovering your mouse over the open file

Gabriele Banka icon a thumbnail view of your open document will appear. Hover over the thumbnail and a full-size preview opens up. Other features such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peek,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snap,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shakeâ&#x20AC;? let you see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on behind your open window, easily resize multiple windows to fill the screen, or minimize all windows except the one you want to focus on. Demonstrations on all the new features can be found on Microsoftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s webpage for users wanting to get the most out of the new operating system. Some of the Windows 7 improvements can be more annoying than beneficial. The additional keyboard shortcuts are a good example of this.

While they are designed to be a time-saver, they are easy to be unintentionally engaged, especially while typing quickly. Users proficient in keyboard shortcuts might not have a problem with this. One negative is the missing upgrade path from XP to Windows 7 if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t switch to Vista first. It can be quite cumbersome to upgrade an XP machine and making a backup of your entire hard drive is recommended because you will need to do a clean install. There are three editions of Windows 7 for sale: Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate. To upgrade your Vista, you must be running Vista SP1 or SP2 and have 12.9 GB of free disk space. Although Windows 7 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own built in anti-virus software, security has been improved over Vista. It is now easier to set

up the firewall for your home network. The calculator in the accessories section has been upgraded to add statistics and programmer modes and you can now cut and paste from it. It also has a history feature so you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to reenter data that you had entered previously. It now also includes templates for gas mileage, mortgage estimates and leases. For anyone considering upgrading their operating system, or XP holdouts, Windows 7 is a great way to go. 7 is a real improvement over Vista, and promises to let you work with your computer, rather than against it.

KAG shows private local art collections C urious about the art on the walls in your neighbours’ homes? Well there is no need to drive around at night anymore, trying to peek in the lighted windows and see which artists your friends and acquaintances are collecting. You can come and see them all in one convenient place, and with decent gallery lighting to boot. Kelowna Collects is the Kelowna Art Gallery’s salute to the Vancouver Olympics and to the visitors we hope will come to this part of the province. We thought of this as an appropriate way to help Kelowna put its best face forward to these guests, as well as something the community itself would find interesting and enjoy. The show began on Jan. 16 and runs through March 7, so is available for tourists arriving here both before or after the Olympics. There are over 90 works on view, including several that are recent additions to the perma-

Liz Wylie nent collection of the Kelowna Art Gallery. By its very nature, this is a wide-ranging and eclectic show, with no themes or any other unifying aspects to be found. There are many varieties of art in terms of time period, medium, artistic ideas and styles, all on view in one heady and rather dense mix. It is interesting to speculate what sort of impression about Kelowna a visitor might get from viewing this exhibition. We can never see ourselves as others see us, but this show provides a rather specific and unusual lens through which to view and think about community. Without wishing to give away any surprises (spoiler alert) there

CONTRIBUTED

FELIX, by Kelowna artist Mary Bull, 2003, acrylic on canvas, from the collection of Carol Taylor. are several works by the Group of Seven in the show and one piece by Emily Carr, something one might understandably guess if one were asked to imagine what works of art have been loaned. But who would guess there are also works by Canadian-based international art star Janet Cardiff, the American ceramic artist David Gilhooly, the American nineteenth-

century Impressionist Childe Hassam, two works on paper by Henri Matisse and even a print by Andy Warhol. Of course it is a cliché to say there is something for everyone in the exhibition, but really, how could it not be so? Abstraction, realism, portraits, landscape; the only areas of art practice not represented are up-tothe-minute contemporary

installations or new media pieces, not as often sought after by private collectors in any community as are more traditional art pieces. Naturally enough, there are several local artists represented, and the works recently added to the collection of the Kelowna Art Gallery are also all by local artists. The show is accompanied by a folder-style catalogue with colour reproductions. The last project of this nature was organized at the Kelowna Art Gallery in 1996, 14 years ago, and there is no saying there will be another one anytime soon, so be sure to visit before it closes so as not to miss this chance to view the works of art collected by area residents. After March 7 you are back to driving in the dark again, risking a fender bender as you crane your neck trying to see the art in that neighbour’s well-appointed living room.

Celtic women present airy renditions of folk

CELTIC WOMAN: SONGS FROM THE HEART (MANHATTAN/EMI) This five-woman ensemble of Celtic singers is better known for their TV specials and DVDs and their spectacular visuals than they are for their CD releases.

forms several traditional ballads—the best known ones here being Amazing Grace and My Langan Love, while the lasses also offer a couple of Gaelic tunes with Nil Se N La and Non C’e Piu. But for this fifth album (that includes their two Christmas offerings)

The Celtic women also cover some well known contemporary artists such as Sting’s Fields Of Gold (the obvious single), Billy Joel’s Goodnight My Angel and Phil Collins’ You’ll Be In My Heart. The sound here ebbs and ebbs and ebbs and ebbs and occasional-

ly flows from airy and atmospheric to slightly cinematic for dramatic effect. But as a CD listening experience, this music becomes sort of dull without the video performances. Celtic music isn’t supposed to be so conSee Mitchell B8

Editors a band to watch, even if they are ‘a tad too derivative’ Mitchell from B7

tinuously mannered, prissy, subdued, virginal, dreamy, restrained, bloodless etc. If I recall the movie Titanic well, the most fun was below decks not in the overly refined and rarified air of the first classes. C

ROBBIE WILLIAMS: REALITY KILLED THE VIDEO STAR (VIRGIN/EMI) Robbie Williams has been a big star in his native U.K. for the better part of two decades since he started out with the boy-pop band Take That. As a solo artist, he has scored a couple of dozen hits in Great Britain but

he remains an acquired taste in North America although he sells way more albums per capita in Canada than in the USA. In fact, my last recollection of hearing Williams heavily on the airwaves was a decade ago at the change of the millennium with his James Bond treated hit (oddly enough) titled Millennium.

This new CD, title Reality Killed The Video Star, suggests Williams has recognized that his aging fan base is moving on, so instead of sporting the usual video friendly tuxedo, Williams is on his new liner motor dirt biking in a T-shirt and jeans. But there is plenty to like on this his seventh studio album reminiscent

of past Williams’ glories. There are strong shades of Elton John on the pianodriven ballads Morning Sun and You Know Me. The Pet Shop Boys of the ’80s come to mind on the techno poppers The Last Days Of Disco and Different For Wierdos. Williams even dabbles in some highly accessible soft rock on Starstruck and Do You Mind. Reality Killed The Video Star is almost certainly about to become another Robbie Williams release with less than spectacular numbers domestically but he has scored another European smash with the technopop song Bodies setting up a Greatest Hits Vol.2 in the future. B-

MATTHEW GOOD: VANCOUVER (MG/UNIVERSAL) I know it is something of an oxymoron, but you would have to describe Matthew Good’s fan base as a ‘huge cult’ following. To my account ,Vancouver is Good’s seventh studio album not counting a B side collection, live releases and an anthology for the years 1995 to 2005. And every one of those studio albums has hit the top 10 where this newest release Vancouver opened on the national charts at number two. The odd thing about this is that Good makes very intelligent and accessible rock music but contemporary rock radio doesn’t play him in spite

more sales results With the

of his big sales. Perhaps it is because Good is very outspoken about his politics—I recently saw him on CBC’s The Hour and he made perfect sense to me—or it might be that Good has had very public mental health issues that he is very open about. Maybe rock radio doesn’t want to invest airtime for a guy who might not be consistent in his output? Good has released albums about his health issues with CD titles Hospital and In A Coma (the aforementioned anthology) but again, he remains a very articulate, original and artistic rock musician. This new album is in part an homage to his hometown but it isn’t very often a pretty sight especially with the angst and anger of Vancouver National Anthem and the lyrics “we all die downtown, step over us” (with backing from guest star Pete Yorn). There is also the moody Empty’s Theme Park, an autobiographical song about Good’s chemical woes—both laboratory-made and brainmade via bipolar disorder. Meanwhile, Good vents his frustration on the Middle East with the antiwar song A Silent Army In The Trees, while he explores his spiritual ague and existential fantods on Nights Like Tonight. But Good also makes damn fine hard rock and accessible arena rock that ought to get a bigger audience through the airwaves. Check out the spit

and polish on Fought To Fight It and my fave track Us Remains Impossible and its indelible hooks. I wish Matthew Good all the best as he ventures forth. B

EDITORS: IN THIS LIGHT AND ON THIS EVENING (SONY) It is just Editors and not The Editors as apparently this band has revised its own name. However, Editors didn’t apply their namesake to the unwieldy title of their third CD: In This Light And On This Evening. All kidding aside, this is a very good album especially if you are a big fan of retro ’80s Manchester dance rock, particularly Joy Division as fronted by the terribly troubled Ian Curtis who committed suicide on the brink of stardom. Editors singer Tom Smith has a deep, resonating, and nervy voice, just like Curtis, while the rest of Editors are excellent at capturing that Joy Division sturm and drang. Editors latest hit, Like Treasure, and lyric “love is tested” is close to JD’s signature song Love Will Tear Us Apart, while Eat Raw Meat=Blood Drool is bound to show up on the next Twilight soundtrack. As produced by Flood (NIN, U2, Depeche Mode), Editors is a band to watch even if they are a tad too derivative. Bbwcmitchell@shaw.ca

lic awareness of the importance of early detection and treatment of the disease. “Personally, I’ve done a lot of mountaineering, but this was my first high-altitude expedition,” says Rivère, who is also an avid rock climber and paraglider. “I’ve wanted to climb Aconcagua for a while, so when I heard about my colleagues’ plans to raise money for prostate cancer research and awareness, I thought, ‘Sure—let’s do it.’” Rivère was one of five people from the Okanagan Valley to make the trip. Collectively, the expedition raised about $200,000 for the UBC Hospital Foundation and the Prostate Centre at Vancouver General Hospital. “The group from the Okanagan paraglides together, so the deal was to go to the summit and fly all the way down to Punta del Inca, a 40-kilometre glide,” said Rivère. Paragliding from the summit has been done before, but Aconcagua is one of the windiest mountains on the planet. However, after a number of the paragliding team members experienced mild stomach problems and headaches from the high altitude, it was decided to forego that part of the climbing adventure. “It was really hard to swallow, but at 4 a.m., we decided not to go,” saidRivère. “I think we did the right thing—we didn’t feel 100 per cent, and it’s a 16-hour climb from Camp Two to the summit, so if anything happens, there are no rescue possibilities.” “Of 18 days on the mountain, we only had one day without wind, which blew at an average of about 60 to 80 kilometres per hour, night and day “To fly the summit you need only one thing: Light winds on the summit and hardly any wind in the valley. We had a forecaster checking winds every day on Aconcagua at different elevations.” Still, Rivère said the mountaineering experience was a great adventure and a very successful way of raising awareness and funds for an important cause. The Aconcagua Climb for Prostate Cancer Research team was composed of individuals in their late 40s and older, all with a passion for adventure and physical challenge. Anyone who would like to donate to, or learn more about, the expedition can still do so by visiting www.climbforprostate.com.
