Murder victim’s mother upset by change Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
The mother of murdered teen Ashlee Hyatt is on edge and frustrated with the Canadian justice system after learning that the teen accused of killing her daughter has had her house arrest conditions loosened. The accused killer, who can’t be named, is now allowed to leave her home with a court appointed adult as she awaits trial, which could be a couple of years away. “They say she has the right to exercise, and they don’t deem her a threat to society, so she is still on 24 hour house arrest but allowed to go to a movie, the mall, etc. with a court appointed adult,” said Charrie Hyatt. “All I kept hearing was her rights, her rights, her rights. “My daughter has no rights. It’s like a smack in the face,” she said. “It gives you no faith in the justice system.” She’s upset that the girl “gets to have a life” as she waits for her trial and also See Ruling A8

Ben Stewart may be less than halfway through his first term as an MLA, but the Westside-Kelowna Liberal is quickly racking up experience in a host of different cabinet posts. For the third time in 17 months, Stewart has been

tabbed by Premier Gordon Campbell to lead a different ministry. On Monday, Stewart was appointed as B.C.’s new agriculture minister, leaving the Community and Rural Development portfolio he has held since June. Prior to that, he was B.C.’s minister of citizen’s services. “I haven’t really been keep-
ing count,” said Stewart when asked Tuesday about the three cabinet posts in the first 17 months of his rookie term. The co-owner and founder of Quails’ Gate Winery in West Kelowna, Stewart was chosen by Campbell to replace his friend and close colleague Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson, who was moved

Three teens queried about arsons
Roadside marker restriction measure referred to staff
Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Police said Tuesday that they are looking to speak with three teenaged boys as part of their investigation into five arson fires in Rutland Friday morning. According to the sole Crime Stoppers tip received after the fire, three boys were seen using an aerosol paint can as a flame thrower and were also tagging property in the area of Dodd and Bach Roads between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Friday. The fires police are investigating began several blocks away—on Gray Road—shortly after 4:30 a.m. Police say the boys are considered subjects of interest, not suspects, as investigators don’t have definitive evidence to link them to the five arsons. “The lens is wide open with respect to investigating this,� said Const. Steve Holmes. Still, he said investigators “clearly need� to look at whether the boys were involved. “This may be a coincidental piece, this may be just what we need,� said Holmes. The youngest of the boys appeared to be 14 and was wearing dark clothing and rode a BMX bicycle. The tallest of the three was approximately 14 to 16 years and wore a blue jean jacket, dark hoodie and walked with a noticeable limp on his right side. The third was also between 14 and 16 years and was wearing a ball cap and dark clothing. All were last seen

KELOWNA RCMP Const. Steve Holmes points out at a press conference on Tuesday the locations of a series of fires that were ignited last Friday in the Dougall Road area of Rutland. heading toward the Merrifield area. Police say the fires began at 4:38 a.m., when a boat parked near the back alley of a Gray Road home was torched. Prior to the fire, the victim heard the sound of a skateboard on Gray Road and voices at the back of her property, police say. She then heard “a metallic clanking sound followed by (a) violent explosion that shook the entire house,� said Holmes. “It was then that she saw her boat had burst into flames.� After that fire, a lean-

to structure at 200 Dougall Road South was set ablaze and that fire caused damage to a car. The suspect(s) then headed across Highway 33 to Dougall Road North, where a carport and boat were set on fire.
The final fire involved a chair being set ablaze and propped up against a camper on a Froelich Road property. “Of note is the fact that the chair was covered with a thick plastic covering and it would have taken considerable effort, with an ignition source, to cause the extensive damage that had been done to the chair,� said Holmes. In addition to seeking to speak to the boys, police are also in the process of obtaining surveillance video from some of the nearby businesses. Police are also encouraging people to contact
Crime Stoppers to assist in the investigation. “It’s going to take the community to figure this out,� said Holmes. Crime Stoppers coordinator Gerry Guiltenane says that Crime Stoppers will pay up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest. Tipsters can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477, visit www. crimestoppers.net, or text a tip to ‘Crimes’ with the subject line of ‘Ktown.� “You will remain anonymous,� said Guiltenane. “All we want is your information.� cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

Prompted by a Kelowna resident’s letter of complaint about roadside memorials, city councillors took a closer look at other ways to pay homage to those who have died on local roads. “For many months now friends and myself have discussed the growing number of roadside memorials that ‘honour’ a life lost primarily through motor vehicle accidents,� read a letter presented to council, from Suzanne St. Germain. “‘While I understand the intent, and do not wish to seem uncaring (because I certainly do care) the truth remains that these memorials are distracting to other drivers, are often in place for years, and are sometimes simply disgraceful.’� Of particular concern to St. Germain is a memorial to a young Vernon man who died in a North Glenmore crash. The memorial to him has been there since winter of 2004/2005, she said, and it’s covered with dirty decaying remnants of clothes, sun-bleached plastic flowers. It’s not aesthetically pleasing, nor does it honour the man’s life well. In contrast to similar eyesores around the Valley, St. Germain highlighted a Calgary program that the city could look into, if they choose to form a bylaw to address the issue. There, roadside me-

While the City of Kelowna doesn’t own the poles that these bands could be placed on, should something to address the issue ever happened, it is within their powers to restrict the length of time a memorial stays up within the city. It was a measure Coun. Charlie Hodge didn’t seem to see much value in. “I was raised in this community, and there are still memorials that people maintain,� he said. “(Others) fade away like the memories and the families fade away, and I don’t know if it’s something we should make a ruling on.� While nobody else expressed interest in forming a bylaw around the inquiry just yet, the issue was referred to city staff so they could examine the options.

French immersion cost issue revived for trustees Jennifer Smith
will be presented to a subcommittee of the board of education, along with cost implications. Over the years the board has looked at whether or not to maintain dual-track systems in which students attend both mainstream English classes or French immersion classes within the same school or whether to go to single-track, French-targeted schools and Englishspeaking schools. The board has looked at when the best entry point for French immersion students is, debating whether students should be starting in kindergarten or in older grades, thereby saving the district money. Included in this report are survey results suggesting students and parents are extremely pleased with the quality of instruction in the French program and see that a priority is put on the program. Yet results from the same survey indicate the teachers are not satisfied with resources provided by the school district for them to do their jobs. This week’s meeting will offer insight as to how last week’s public consultation went and lay out the timeline for the recommendations portion of this review.
STAFF REPORTER
French immersion will be back on the table, albeit briefly, at this week’s board of education meeting as the Central Okanagan School District tries to cope with the price of the program’s success. Casorso Elementary School, in particular, has suffered serious spacial constraints due to the popularity of the French stream, but both enrolment issues and the cost of running the program have been huge issues over the last decade, according to a review of French immersion currently before the board. A lengthy review process for the program is just the latest in the highly debated struggle to keep the popular option on the table in the face of nationwide French immersion teacher shortages and ongoing sustainability challenges faced within the school district. “The topic of French immersion has received considerable debate and study over the past number of years,” states this latest report, which points to information collected and studied in reports starting in the early 2000s and every year since. A meeting was held last week to collect feedback from parents and on Nov. 3 recommendations from this latest review

The combination of crunchy texture and dry, sweet, tart flavour has made grapes an ever popular between meal snack as well as a refreshing addition to both fruit and vegetable salads. Grapes contain beneficial compounds called flavonoids, which studies have linked to reducing certain diseases caused by aging. They are what gives the vibrant or dark purple colour to grapes, grape juice and red wine; the stronger the colour, the higher the concentration of fl avonoids.

W ACCIDENT
Police officer witness to crash Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Alcohol is believed to be a factor in a Rutland crash witnessed by a police officer Sunday night. Around 8 p.m., a traffic officer had just finished dealing with a violation stop “when he heard the ‘chirping’ of trailer brakes and saw a white Dodge pickup pulling a trailer that was bouncing as it tried to stop,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The truck and trailer went through the stop sign on Rutland Road and collided with a black Mazda pickup that was westbound on Old Vernon Road, spinning the Mazda nearly 180 degrees. “Both drivers were uninjured. However, their vehicles sustained damages in the $10,000 range,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The officer suspected the 34-year-old driver of the Dodge was impaired, and subjected him to a roadside alcohol screening test. He failed on two different devices before being taken to the Kelowna RCMP detachment. Police say he provided breath samples over the legal limit, and the man will face recommended charges of impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level over .08. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

na census metropolitan area’s murder rate last year was better than the national average. In 2009, 610 homicides were reported in Canada, resulting in an average of 1.81 murders per 100,000 people, Statistics Canada indicates. Kelowna’s three homicides averaged out to 1.68 murders per 100,000 residents in this area. That number means the Kelowna area’s murder rate is ranked 21st out of the 34 census metropolitan areas in the country, with St. John’s, Nfld., and Saint John, NB, tied for the best homicide rate as neither community had any murders in 2009. Abbotsford-Mission holds the title of murder capital for the second straight year, with nine homicides in 2009 working out to 5.22 murders per 100,000 residents.

Timing of liquor license suspensions questioned Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Thirsty concert-goers weren’t the only ones miffed that the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch put a cap on boozy beverages being served at two BreakOut West venues last weekend. Kelowna’s elected officials weren’t pleased either, and they’re asking city staff to write a letter to the provincial branch so they can suss out their policies. Habitat is working through a 25-day liquor suspension and Cush, a 13-day suspension. Both
contravened the terms of a food-primary licence last spring. Coun. Charlie Hodge, feels the severity and timing of the penalty levied on the two establishments, needs to be examined. “I question the significant length of time it seems to take between when a violation is deemed to have taken place and when the actual decision is made on the length of that penalty,” he said. Hodge added he didn’t think a business should be shut down for the contravention, noting numerous Kelowna residents had brought their concerns about the suspension to
him. Also taking issue with the provincial office’s procedures was Coun. Andre Blanleil, who pointed out that the decision to cap booze sales during such a significant city event was “not appropriate” and far from “business friendly.” “They shut these facilities down during this major event?” he said. “I’m sure they could have used good judgment that (looks at) the timing involved.” Both Leon Avenue venues, Cush and the Habitat, were observed contra-
vening the terms of their liquor licence last spring. Operators of both venues chose to challenge the findings of branch inspectors in hopes of a lighter penalty, thus pushing the period of time they would serve a penalty back to a date that coincided with BreakOut West. While neither operation was forced to close its doors, Cush has decided to shut down over the term of its suspension to save costs over a period where their alcohol revenue stream is quashed.
According to a representative from the Liquor Control branch the penalties levied on the establishments are within the range set out in the penalty schedule. Operation of a licensed establishment in a manner that is contrary to the primary purpose of the licence comes with a first time penalty of 10 to 15 days. The second time someone is in contravention the suspension is 20 to 30 days and the third time the suspension lasts 30 to 60 days. A corre-
sponding financial penalty can range from $7,500 to $10,000. “The number of penalties levied against Kelowna establishments has increased this year, partly as a result of having a full complement of inspection staff and improved coordination between liquor inspectors and police,” said a liquor board spokesperson, noting that inspectors often check into a business when complaints from law enforcement or the community, prompt them to do so.

No booze, no problem While the liquor licence issues weren’t quashed before BreakOut West, it didn’t stop the festivities from being a success. Not only did businesses involved, and in the surrounding area, report positive returns stemming from the event, it was so tame that the police barely acknowledged it happened. “In terms of policing, it was a non-event,” said Supt. Bill McKinnon, during a city council meeting. Coun. Andre Blanleil pointed out that Kelowna has often struggled with offering a successful festival to the community, but BreakOut West proved that it wasn’t that the region was incapable of good clean fun that’s less of a burden on the taxpayer than the likes of the now-defunct Life and Arts Festival. “Hopefully we as a city can help build on this,” he said. “Kelowna showed it can be “that” venue, even in the off-season.” Future Shop – Correction Notice Apocalypse Now: Full Disclosure Edition and 2-Disc Blu-ray 2181642/ 2181638.

Hyatt’s mom vents her frustration Ruling from A1 says the possibility that she could see the accused while Christmas shopping or doing other errands has her on edge. Friends and other family members are also upset, she said.
“For the next two years, we have to feel like this,” she said. “We have to feel like victims. It makes me sick.” Hyatt was informed on Monday that the change to the accused’s bail was made Friday, a day after
the teen had a scheduled court appearance. “I just can’t believe they allowed it to happen,” said Hyatt. The girl is scheduled to appear in court again Dec. 13, and lawyers are working toward setting her preliminary hearing
on charges of first degree murder and assault with a weapon. It is alleged that she fatally stabbed Ashlee Hyatt, 16, at a house party in Peachland on June 2, and injured another girl at the party. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

of the resource-use decisions out of ministries like agriculture, forests, energy, mines and petroleum resources and moves them into one new standalone portfolio. The creation of the ministry is seen as part of the Liberal government’s emphasis on shoring up the B.C. economy. “The economy is job one,” said Stewart, who called Thomson’s new role very important to the economic welfare of B.C. He said as community and rural development minister, he saw the need for centralized decisionmaking when it came to many rural land-use issues. While Campbell’s cabinet shuffle moved or changed the roles of 17 cabinet ministers, ministers in the high-profile ministries of finance, health and transportation all stayed put. And even Campbell’s new critic, energy minister Bill Bennett—who publicly criticized the premier for not discussing the changes with his caucus prior to announcing them—kept his job in cabinet. But the mines and petroleum resources component was moved into an expanded forests ministry under Pat Bell. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

in the Peace River area of northern B.C. He is also expecting a report Thomson ordered on the future of the Agricultural Land Reserve and how it can be tweaked to perform better. Calling the cabinet shuffle a “realignment” aimed at helping spur the sluggish B.C. economy, Stewart said while he talked to Campbell prior to the shuffle announcement, he did not see the big picture until all the moves were announced. Thomson, a former executive director of the B.C. Agriculture Council and general manager of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association prior to getting into politics, won praise for his work as agriculture minister and recently led a delegation to China that helped promote B.C. agricultural products in that huge emerging market. While he could not be immediately be reached for comment, Thomson takes on a new ministry that Stewart described as a “one-stop, resourcebased shop.” The ministry will deal with the growing number of decisions that need to be made about land use and resource issues. Viewed in Victoria as a promotion for Thomson, the move takes many

Fire officials have determined the cause of a fire in an industrial building on Kyle Road Saturday as accidental. Fire crews were called to the building shortly before noon, and arrived to find heavy black smoke and flames coming from the front entrance of a workshop in the 2400-block of Kyle Road. “The initial attack crew was able to safely knock the fire down from the exterior, before moving into the structure to extinguish the remaining hot spots,” said assistant fire chief Darren Lee. “The cause of the fire has been determined as accidental, and was due to sparks from a power saw igniting Styrofoam shavings.” A total of 16 fire personnel were on hand to put out the fire, and no injuries were reported.

W CHILDREN’S WINTER GAMES
Close-up with Heather Schneider Christine Ulmer
Boots
CONRIBUTOR
When she’s not at Okanagan College, where she works as regional dean, Heather Schneider is leading a group of 25 committed community volunteers who are bringing the 2011 International Children’s Winter Games to Kelowna from Jan. 26 to 31.
So what does it take to organize an international sporting event for youth? Find out in Close-up with Heather Schneider. Question: With 29 cities confirmed as attending the International Children’s Winter Games and another 17 planning to participate, have there been any surprises? Schneider: There has been a lot of interest in the Kelowna Games and that interest has resulted in really strong registration results. We have two teams coming from cities in Iceland, one from Lithuania and of course a delegation from the home of the International Children’s Games, Darmstadt, Germany. We are going to see three or four teams from Australia and that is great because Australia is not typically known for its winter sports. I was also really surprised and excited to find out that we’ll be hosting a team from Seoul, South Korea—it is going to be a really culturally diverse celebration of sport and friendship. Q: Is the ICWG affiliated with the Olympic Games? Schneider: Yes, the ICG is a recognized member of the International Olympic Committee. There are some big differences between the Olympic Games and the International Children’s Games. First of all, athletes represent their cities, not their countries, which provides more opportunities for young athletes to become involved. The Kelowna games will showcase seven different winter sporting events: short track speed skating, curling, cross country skiing, snowboarding, alpine ski-

HEATHER SCHNEIDER and her helpers are bringing the International Children’s Winter Games to Kelowna Jan. 26 to 31. ing and figure skating— the Olympic Games offer additional winter sport competitions. Also, the athletes who compete in the ICWG will be youth ages 12 to 15 so that is a big difference. Finally, the ICG dates back to 1968 when the first Children’s Games were held in Celje, Slovenia—the Olympics have a much longer history but despite that, more than 37,000 youth have taken part in the ICG since its inception. Q: How are the people of this region going to be involved in the Games? Schneider: We are currently in the process of selecting the local athletes who will compete on behalf of our cities. We are going to present teams from Kelowna, West Kelowna, Penticton and the Westbank First Nation. So we will have a lot of local athletes involved in the competition. The organizing com-
mittee is made up of about 25 local people who are all volunteers. We anticipate we will need about 1,000 local volunteers to make these games possible. We are looking for people who may have foreign language experience to help make the games run smoothly. We also need people to help with the athletes’ village, sporting venues and cultural activities and festivals such as the opening ceremonies. International athletes are going to be billeted in the community so we are also looking for people who have the ability to host an athlete during the competition. Q: What are you most looking forward to about these games? Schneider: We have a really great team of dedicated volunteers who are working hard to make this an unforgettable event for the city. I can’t wait for January to come so that we can welcome the world to Kelowna.
We have a lot of planning and organizing to do before then but I’m most looking forward to welcoming athletes from around the world and connecting with them through the exciting sporting and cultural events we have planned. I am looking forward to the great success I know we will have in hosting this international event. Q: How can people find out more information about the games and who can they contact to get involved? Scheider: We have a pretty comprehensive website set up at: www. kelowna2011.com. Anyone wishing to volunteer or to find out more about volunteer opportunities can email: volunteer@kelowna2011. com. Anyone with general questions or anyone who would like to find out more about participating in the games as an athlete (ages 12 to 15) can send an email to info@kelowna2011.com.

Drug peddler busted outside detachment Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A Kelowna man seen pacing by a car near the Kelowna RCMP detachment is facing a series of charges after police say they found drugs and bear spray in the car. Around 5 p.m. on Saturday, a plainclothes officer walked out of the detachment on Doyle Avenue when he spotted a man on the phone who was pacing and reach-
ing into a grey Toyota sedan that was parked in the 1300-block of Ellis Street. “A police query showed that the registered owner of the vehicle was prohibited from possessing a cell phone,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The officer began speaking with the man he saw near the vehicle— who was not the registered owner—and says the man became evasive and extremely nervous during police questioning.
capital news A11
The man allegedly gave police a false name and information about the vehicle, and the 20-yearold Kelowna resident was arrested for obstruction. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, police found 14 grams of crack cocaine that was packaged for selling in small amounts, $500 in cash and a near empty can of bear spray. Police believe the man “acquired” the vehicle from the registered owner
somehow—it wasn’t reported stolen—and say he wasn’t barred from using a cell phone. Joshua Leigh Prince McPhee has since been released from custody on $3,000 bail with a $2,000 deposit. He’s scheduled to appear in court Thursday morning on charges of obstruction, possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Kelowna was alive with the sound of music this weekend, as BreakOut West events unfurled throughout the downtown core. The venues, and all routes between, were bustling with men and women of all ages who wanted to soak in offerings from the best and brightest indie musicians Western Canada has to offer. “I was really relieved because I didn’t know 100 per cent if people were going to buy into it,” said Karma Lacoff, one of the driving forces behind bringing the event to the Okanagan. “We knew there was buzz, but we couldn’t really grasp how that would turn out.” To get an idea of how
popular the event was, Lacoff noted that by weekend’s end 1,400 all-access passes had sold with the number of individual venue tickets yet to be tallied. Overall the aim was to get 1,500 coming in and out of events through the weekend and if the sheer

ful Fed, one of the venues hosting performances, is among those who think there should be some movement to get the event back as soon as it’s available. “As far as business, it was the same thing as we normally do…we didn’t double our sales or anything. But the enthusiasm makes it all well worth it,” he said. “It was fantastic. People were out to enjoy the music. They enjoyed their beverages, but nobody went crazy.” While the Grateful Fed is well established as a local music venue, with shows Tuesday through Saturday, less-tried venues also found success, including the two venues that had run into liquor licensing issues. Leon Avenue’s Cush and the Habitat had contravened the terms of their food-primary liquor licences last spring and the Liquor Licensing and Control Branch inflicted a suspension that coincided with the festival. Luckily, explained Cush co-owner Justin Marshall, it didn’t dampen the excitement around the weekend’s events. “We were thrilled with the support we received from the community,” he said. “We couldn’t have asked for anything more.” By his estimates, weekend business was five to 10 times what it normally was as people roamed in and out continually over the weekend. “You know, I was wary before the festival started about what kind of support we’d get. From what I’ve seen, the music scene is a little lacking in Kelowna,” said Marshall. “But the support was there and if we can continue to do events like this, then we should.” For their part, Cush has been inspired to bring more music to the city and in the next six months they intend to bring one band from the festival back each month. While the festival was getting the bulk of attention, the Western Canadian Music Awards capped off the weekend in style. For those who weren’t able to attend, this year’s awards were recorded live and will be broadcast on CBC on Jan. 2 at 3 p.m.

Determine value of trees when putting property up for sale
O
n Monday, I joined a group of other certified arborists for an allday seminar on tree evaluation. I would like to send kudos to Mario Lanthier
trees should be considered when your home is put on the market and highlighted in the description of the property. A healthy tree of a desirable
species planted in a good location is as important as anything else on the property. ••• This Thursday and
Friday I have the honor of playing drums for a young singer/songwriter named Robert Kennedy at the Minstrel Café. This musician comes from Vancou-
ver and after hearing his material I didn’t hesitate accepting his invitation. “In an industry where the norm sees musicians pick a genre and stick with
it, Rob Kennedy bridges styles. With a mix of jazz, pop/rock and even a little country, Rob provides a refreshing departure. Shows starts 8 p.m. at
4638 Lakeshore Rd. The Minstrel Café opens for dinner at 5 p.m. There is no cover charge Thursday, and just $5 on Friday night.
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett and Jeanette Merrick, of Crop Health Advising and Research, for organizing this, and thanks to Verna Mumby, our instructor for coming from Vancouver Island, to help us to better understand the science/art of determining the monetary value of trees. Most people will acknowledge trees have value but until an actual dollar figure is determined it doesn’t often mean too much to them. When a homeowner is told the magnolia in his or her front yard has a monetary value of $5,000 it garners attention. Yes, it is possible that a tree can be valued at even much more than that. Now don’t get thinking you can start selling a tree or two so you can take a winter trip to the south. There is a limit as to how large a tree can be before it is impossible, or at least impractical, to move it. There are several purposes to placing a value on a tree. For instance if a piece of property is being purchased by a municipality for road widening etc., there is value placed on the trees it contains. Most of the time a value is placed on a tree when the subject tree has been injured or destroyed either by accident or willfully. The most common method of evaluation is the trunk formula which compares the area of a cross section of the tree’s trunk to the cost of a replacement nursery tree. Once this figure is determined the consulting arborist takes away value according to its species rating then its condition and then its location. After some initial tuition our class was divided into five groups of five people with each group given the assignment to evaluate four subject trees. Using the formula it was fascinating how close the values were that each group arrived at. The value of your

W BICYCLES FOR HUMANITY
CENTRAL OKANAGAN HERITAGE SOCIETY
Banquet to help defray shipping costs
presents
The Kelowna chapter of Bicycles For Humanity has been very successful in its efforts to collect donated bicycles that are shipped to Ghana. But while the bikes are donated by local residents, the shipping costs are not. To help off-set that expense, a fundraising dinner is planned for Nov. 13 at the St. Charles Garnier Church hall, 3645 Benvoulin Rd. It costs $35 per bike for the trans-ocean journey to the impoverished African country, where a functional bicycle carries the same transportation significance to the Ghana people as cars do to North Americans. By removing the pedals and seat and turning the handlebars, the group packs more than 400 bikes into a large shipping container. Hal Puder, owner of both the Tickle Trunck and TTM Events in Kelowna, is throwing the support of both his businesses behind the fundraising banquet. Puder said he first realized the significance of bicycles first-hand

while traveling in the region of Africa where Ghana is located. “I came home thinking I had to do something to help. Bikes that we might otherwise toss away and buy new ones in our country are a valuable commodity in a country with the poverty level that Ghana has,” said Puder. “But when I came home, I discovered that Bicycles For Humanity had already been formed to serve that cause, so I thought (the dinner) might be another way for me to help.” The host facility will be decked out in a West African theme for the dinner, with the keynote speaker to be Vida Yakong, a UBC Okanagan graduate student from Ghana, She is pursuing a PhD in medical anthropology, nursing and anthropology of gender.

W COURT
Lesser charge accepted in fatal accident Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The young Manitoba man who drove into and killed a Kelowna man and another cyclist on a charitable cycling pilgrimage will not face prison time, and according to the Crown counsel the penalty he’ll pay sits well with the family of the deceased. Criminal charges of dangerous driving causing death and two charges of dangerous driving causing bodily harm were stayed, said Crown counsel Rich Lonstrup, explaining that Ian Edmund
Gibbons pleaded guilty to a traffic offense of careless driving. That charge came with a $5,000 fine and three year driving suspension. “He was saying that he basically reached to adjust air conditioning, and didn’t have his eyes on the road for a few seconds,” said Lonstrup, to what he’s learned of the events that killed Robert Carrier, 45, and Daniel Hurtubise, 50, and injured Hurtubise’s two teenage children in August 2008 when they were on a fundraising cycling trip for diabetes. Gibbons didn’t have
alcohol in his system, and witness testimony from another driver didn’t indicate that Gibbons was driving in a manner that would support the criminal charges. While it might not sit well with some that Gibbons is getting off without prison time, Lonstrup said that consultations with friends and family of the victims are comfortable with the conclusions that were reached. “In Manitoba, we have a Victims Bill of Rights and the prosecutors updates to surviving family members, and in this case

it was the two surviving spouses,” he said. “Everyone made it very clear that they didn’t want the accused to go to jail. They’re all strong and compassionate people and they understood that Ian Gibbons was devastated and guilt-wracked by what he did. They didn’t need to send him to jail.” The group was on a cross-country cycling trip, dubbed The Ride of a Lifetime, which kicked off in Vancouver on June 14 and was raising money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The fundraising cy-
cling trip was the vision of Hurtubise, who had lived with diabetes for 35 years. In a statement issued through JDRF at the time, the Hurtubise family ac-

Main well schooled Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
With a high school diploma already under his belt, Spencer Main could have taken a year or two off from studying. But as the Kelowna Rockets Scholastic Player of the Year two seasons in a row, the North Vancouver native saw no reason to put his education on hold. Main is taking a business management class this semester at UBC Okanagan. Next semester, he’ll take a course in English. “I just think if I take too much time off from school, it’ll be tough to get back into it,” said Main who graduated this year with close to a 90 average in both Grades 11 and 12. “Rather than not do anything, I wanted to take courses that cover what I’m interested in. I have enough time to do it during the hockey season, it doesn’t interfere with games or practices, so it’s a good fit for me.” Players in major junior hockey who enroll in post secondary classes while still playing are not as rare as they once were. Three other Rockets—
Colton Jobke, Max Adolph and Antoine Corbin— are looking into the possibility of taking a class next semester, either at UBCO or Okanagan College. As is the case with all WHL teams, the Rockets pay for their players’ educations—one year of tuition and books for each year of service in the league. “You’re seeing more and more guys doing it these days,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “For one thing, the internet has made it easier… and the team pays for their education, so it’s a chance for them to chip away at a few classes while they’re still playing. It’s a head start for them for later in life if hockey doesn’t work out. It’s something we definitely encourage. It helps the guys keeps their minds sharp.” As proficient as Main is in school, he insists success in the classroom hasn’t come simply as a result of natural smarts. Just like hockey, the 5-foot-11 190 pound forward said he has had to put in the time and effort. “In school, you can’t just show up and do well. I did well because I worked hard and studied,” he said.
“The same goes for hockey. I try to be one of the hardest working guys out there. I grew up being taught that things don’t get handed to you, you have to earn them. I try my best to do that in hockey, too.” According to Ryan Huska, Main’s demeanor, his work ethic in school, and his overall intelligence have translated well onto the ice. “He’s a good person, he works very hard, and he’s intelligent, so he does understands the game well,” Huska said. “We’re trying to fill the role of a two-way centreman and Spencer has all the tools to do that. He’s improving all areas of his game and that has a lot to do with how hard he works.” And while Main remains committed to upgrading his education as he continues to play, the 18-year-old forward makes it clear that hockey is his ultimate career ambition. He just plans to be prepared in the event it doesn’t work out that way. “Hockey is definitely my first choice, it’s what I love to do and I want to go as far as I can with it,” he said. “I want to do it for a living for a long time but,
ROCKETS VETERAN Spencer Main is continuing his education at UBC Okanagan. if not, I want to make sure I have a back-up plan. I’m focused on hockey, but I know I need an education, too.”

W EUROPEAN HOCKEY
Antisin takes on coaching duties in Switzerland Misko Antisin has more than a passing knowledge of pro hockey in Switzerland. As a matter of fact, he played in the European nation for 18 years. It’s one big reason the 46-year-old from Kelowna should be well suited for his newest position as the head coach of Engelberg in the Swiss men’s
second division. Antisin was in the midst of his second season behind the bench of the B.C. Major Midget League’s Okanagan Rockets. “Obviously it’s never ideal to leave a team in mid season, but this was an opportunity that I just couldn’t say no to,” said Antisin. “I didn’t know this would happen, it’s a job that just kind of fell into may lap.

Misko Antisin Switzerland very well, it’s a good situation for me,
and I’m very excited. I couldn’t pass it up.” In addition to coaching the major midgets, Antisin had been working at Hockey Canada’s Skills Academies at seven schools throughout the Central Okanagan. With Antisin soon on his way to Europe, assistant Brandon West will take over the midget Rockets on an interim basis. West has Antisin’s vote of confidence.
“The Rockets are going to be just fine with Brandon at the helm,” Antisin said. “I think he’ll do a great job and hopefully the league will see fit to make him the full-time head coach. I want to thank the Major Midget League for giving me the opportunity to coach.” West and the Rockets will have a four-game winning streak to work with when they host the
Cariboo Cougars on Saturday (3 p.m.) and Sunday (10 a.m.) at the Capital News Centre. Okanagan (6-4) is coming off a two-game sweep of the Thompson Blazers over the weekend in Chase. On Saturday, the Rockets erupted for four third-period goals in a 5-1 win. Jordan Burns, Graham Zagrodney, Harlan Orr, Jedd Soleway, and Dallas Barker scored the
goals, while Connor De Melo stopped 17 shots in net. On Sunday, the Rockets won 5-3. Graham Zagrodney paced the attack with a pair of goals, his third and fourth of the season. Alex Jewell, Harlan Orr added one each and Mitchell Cook shot into the empty net with 29 seconds left in the game, rounded out the scoring. Adam Todd earned the win in goal.

Warriors all over the place
Downing renamed to Team West
NICOLE HASLOCK/CONTRIBUTOR
WESTSIDE forward Grayson Downing has been named to Team Canada West for the second year in a row. after losing 2-1 to the United States in the final. The Warriors’ forward hopes his western mates can take it one step further in 2010. “It was a good learning experience to go through something like that,” said Downing. “Losing a game
like that was tough and makes you want it even more. I think we have the players and the team to do it this time.” In addition to Canada West and the U.S., the other competing teams are Team Canada East, Rus-
sia, Sweden and Switzerland. Team West’s players are from the four western provinces. The World Junior A Challenge will run Nov. 8 to 14 at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton.
W KOOTENAY LEAGUE
Chiefs continue to look for consistency A four-game winning streak at the end of September was their most promising stretch in the KIJHL this season. The Kelowna Chiefs continue to search for ways to duplicate that consistency. The Chiefs swept a home-and-home set with the Penticton Lakers late last week—6-1 and 5-4— then dropped a 6-3 decision to the Golden Rockets on Saturday on home ice. Kelowna out shot Golden 45-25, but the Rockets broke open a 2-2 game with four goals in ta six-minute span in the third period. “We’re happy with winning two out of three, but we feel with a more consistent effort we could have easily been 3-for3. We’re still trying to get rolling,” said Chiefs assistant Grant Sheridan. “For us, it seems like two steps forward and one step back. You’re going to lose games, that’s the way it, but we need to bring our best effort every night and get some momentum going.”
On Saturday, Luke Richardson, Colton DeFrias and Sean Alldridge scored goals while Landon Andrusiak had two assists. On Friday at Rutland Arena, Richardson scored
twice as the Chiefs came from behind to beat the Lakers. This weekend, the Chiefs (9-8-0) are on the road to play Princeton Friday and the first-place Osoyoos Coyotes (14-1-
1-2) on Saturday. “We’rev not overlooking Princeton, but that’s a big one for us Saturday. You’ve gotta win those head-to-head ones if you want to stay close,” Sherdian added.
Gangbusters one night, an uninspired group the next. Darren Yopyk is still trying to find out the true identity of his Westside Warriors. After running roughshod over Alberni Valley for a 7-1 BCHL win Friday at Royal LePage Place, the Warriors came up empty 24 hours later against the Merritt Centennials. The Cents, who entered the weekend with just two wins in 15 games, scored the last three goals, including the winner at 4:49 of third to beat Westside 5-3 on Saturday night. For the Warriors, stringing together consecutive wins has proved to be a formidable task this season. “I think that tells you a little bit about where our season’s gone so far,” said Warriors head coach Darren Yopyk. “When we put in a good effort, we’re very effective. When we don’t and guys try to do too much themselves, it doesn’t turn out so well. That’s what happened to us on the weekend. Merritt’s a better hockey club than their record shows, they came in, worked hard, and beat us.” On Saturday, Travis Blanleil, with his first as a Warrior, Tyler Krause and Tyler Brickler scored to make it 3-2 Westside before Merritt rallied for the win. On Friday, captain Alex Grieve potted a hattrick and added an assist as the Warriors drubbed Alberni Valley. Quinn Gould added a pair, while Grayson Downing netted his team leading 11th goal
of the season. At a pedestrian 7-81-1, the Warriors are fifth in the Interior Division eight points back of Vernon and Salmon Arm for third spot. Yopyk remains confident his team will find its groove. “There’s definitely no panic right now on our side,” said Yopyk. “I think our players see it to too, that when we play our game, keep it simple and work hard, we can have success.” The Warriors will look
to get back on track this Friday night at 7 p.m. when the Surrey Eagles make a stop at LePage Place. The teams will square off again Saturday night in Surrey in the back end of a home-and-home.

For the second straight November Grayson Downing will get a chance to wear the Maple Leaf. The Westside Warriors’ forward has been named to Team Canada West for the World Junior A Challenge next month in Penticton. Downing, the 6-foot 185-pound Abbotsford product, is one of seven returning players on the roster who suited up for the tournament last year in Summerside, PEI. “It’s a great honour and a huge privilege to be named to a team like this, and to be named a second time is great,” said Downing, who leads the Warriors in goal scoring with 11 this season. “I’ve watched Canada at the Olympics and things like that, and it’s always been a dream of mine…to wear the Maple Leaf and play for your country is an honour.” Downing and Team Canada West settled for the silver medal last year

down passes from Loffler to Kyle Patchell and Carter Bilawchuk—along with a safety—in the third quarter put the game away for the Owls. There were plenty of mistakes on both sides of the field which KSS coach Roy Anderson believed had a lot to do with the importance both schools place on the local rivalry. “We missed some chances in the red zone and we left some points on the board,” Anderson said.
“We knew they’d play us tough. I think the guys on both teams get a little uptight playing against one another. There’s a lot of emotion and that’s when mistakes are made.” If not for a couple of key miscues by his team, Bears’ coach Mike Godwin said the game could have been much closer. “I think we won the physical battles, for the most part. We had a blown coverage that cost us and some bad penalties at the
worst times. I try and push the guys to be an intelligent team, so we’re still working on that.” Anderson said Loffler was far less than 100 per cent for the game after hurting his back this week playing touch football, On defense, the Owls Cole Mosychuk had nine tackles, a fumble recovery and a sack, Kyle Patchell had four tackles and an interception and, HudSee Football A21

Mustangs win Valley A title on first time trying It looks like the formation of a senior boys soccer program has been well worth the effort. In their inaugural season of competition, the Immaculata Mustangs claimed the Okanagan Valley A boys title. The Mustangs downed the rival Kelowna Christian Knights 1-0 in the championship final Friday in Kelowna. Adam Boehm scored the lone goal in the final for the Mustangs who went undefeated in four games at valleys while outscoring their opponents 16-1. “It was awesome, the guys saved their best soccer of the year for last,” said Immaculata coach Paul Freire. “It was a great effort all around.” Friere said the rise to prominence of the Mustang girls team over the last several years had a lot to do with the development of the boys program. The girls won the provincial title three years in a row from 2007 to 2009. “We looked at the success of the girls program and thought there might be some potential success with a boys’ program here,” he said. “So far, so good.” In the semifinal, Cole

On defense, Wes Geisler patrolled the field with his usual gusto, recording 12 tackles, forcing a fumble and recovering two fumbles. The Bears will look to wrap up a playoff spot this Friday when they visit the South Kamloops Titans. The Owls will take on the OKM Huskies Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Apple Bowl in a exhibition game. The Rutland Voodoos return to action Friday as they host Salmon Arm at 5 p.m. at the Apple Bowl.

W ACUPUNCTURE
Relieving Parkinson’s symptoms
P
arkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. It develops gradually, often starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. The symptoms can vary from person to person and gradually develop, often unnoticed at first. Symptoms may begin on one side of the body and eventually affect both sides, although one side may remain worse than the other. Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease include tremors, slowed or delayed movements, muscle rigidity, impaired posture and balance, speech problems, loss of automatic movements, and in later stages, dementia (impairment of memory and mental clarity). Parkinson’s symptoms tend to worsen as the disease progresses. The reason for Parkinson’s disease is still a mystery, but genetics and environmental factors such as exposure to virus-
NEEDLE NOTES
James Kaufman es and toxins seem to both contribute. However, people suffering from Parkinson’s disease show changes to neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, resulting in reduced stimulation of the motor cortex, the area of our brain responsible for our movement. Treatment for Parkinson’s includes medications to manage the symptoms of the disease, physiotherapy to help with movement, massage therapy to relax rigid muscles, and in some cases, surgery. Lifestyle changes to diet and exercise may also be recommended. Yoga or tai chi can be particularly beneficial because they can help with flexibility and balance.
Chinese medicine classifies Parkinson’s disease as a type of convulsion or tremor. It is seen as a combination of constitutional (inherited) weakness combined with lifestyle factors such as overwork, diet and emotional stress, which may be triggers to the development of the disease. Parkinson’s disease is broken down into three sub-categories according to the cause of the disease. The first is a deficiency of qi-energy and blood, with specific symptoms of pronounced tremor of a limb, sallow complexion, staring look, occipital stiffness, limb cramping, uncoordinated walking, difficulty moving, dizziness, blurred vision and sweating. In this case, an acupuncturist would work on building up the body’s qienergy and nourish the blood in order to improve symptoms and healthy functioning of the body. The second type is phlegm-heat, which produces symptoms of tremors, dizziness, sweating,

dry mouth, staring look, feeling of oppression in the chest, yellow phlegm, obesity, and stiff neck and back. This type can be particularly brought on by diet, and treatment focuses on resolving the phlegm and clearing heat from the body to remove blockages. The third type is liver and kidney-yin deficiency, resulting in dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia, headache, night sweats, restless mind, sore back and knees, numbness of limbs, head tremors, clenched teeth, poor memory, difficulty walking and staring look. In this case, treatment must build up the body’s yin energy and the body’s energy circulation. While Parkinson’s disease cannot be completely cured, regular acupuncture treatments can offer success in the control of symptoms and in slowing or halting the progression of the disease, depending on the type. The sooner treatment is begun after onset, the more success treatment may have. Acupuncture can complement Western medical treatment for Parkinson’s disease and help to improve the quality of life of those suffering from the disease. Acupuncture can also help with the associated symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. People with Parkinson’s often also suffer from depression, sleep problems, urinary problems and constipation. Acupuncture treatment has shown positive results in all of these areas, showing it can help to improve quality of life and overall health to better manage the condition.

COOKING UP A STORM…In recognition of International
Chefs Day, a dozen of Kelowna’s local chefs took over the kitchen at the Kelowna Gospel Mission last Sunday to make and serve dinner for the facility’s clients. Led by Willi Franz, past president of the Okanagan Chefs Association and executive chef of Grapevine Restaurant at Gray Monk winery, the chefs served up a menu that included squash and potato soup, whole wheat perogies with onions and bacon, along with pulled pork sandwiches and coleslaw. That was topped off by dessert, consisting of chocolate cake, strawberry shortcake and cheesecake.
W HALLOWEEN FUN
Spooktacular pumpkin carving event at the Gellatly Nut Farm Schools, sport teams and businesses are encouraged to show off their pumpkin carving creativity for this Saturday’s Spooktacular Halloween Pumpkin Walk at the Gellatly Nut Farm Regional Park. From 5 to 6 p.m. on Oct. 30, carved pumpkins can be dropped off at the regional park, located just off Whitworth Road in West Kelowna. Between 6 and 8 p.m., residents are invited to wear their Halloween costume to the park and view the glowing pumpkins set alongside the pathways. Bring along a donation for the West Kelow-
na Food Bank and while you’re there, vote for your favourite pumpkin. “We thought it would be fun to add a competitive element to the event this year as last year we noticed some families already facing off for pumpkin carving supremacy,” explained Nicole Marzinzik, a regional district park interpreter. “Some fantastic prizes are up for grabs including an overnight stay and movie parties, generously donated by the Cove Lakeside Resort. “These prizes will be awarded to the Best Business, School and Sport Team pumpkins as well
as the most original, cutest, funniest and scariest gourd.” The contests are a new addition to the second annual Spooktacular Halloween Pumpkin Walk. The event also features the Children’s Monster Mash with treats, hot drinks, and music. And you can have your photos taken with the West Kelowna Fire-Rescue firefighters and a fire truck. For more information about the Halloween Pumpkin Walk visit the regional district website www.regionaldistrict.com or call the district at 250469-6140.

W OUR VIEW
Three year terms are fine
R
ural politicians who voted to keep the current three-year election cycle probably have their ears tuned into the electorate more than their big-city counterparts. They surely recognize that those who voted for them—the pitifully few engaged citizens who do—probably prefer more frequent elections. These voters take their responsibility seriously and want more opportunities to have their say in how councils and school boards are run, not fewer. Voters and elections
are what make municipal politicians accountable. We can understand why many urban politicians would prefer four-year terms. Saving money is one argument, but add another year to the term and even more voters would likely become disengaged, giving even less bang for the buck. Elections at least remind citizens of their obligations and bring important issues into their fields of vision. It’s true city councillors have tough jobs to do and dif-
250-763-3212
ficult decisions to make. They face tough budgets every year and sometimes elections conflict with those budget discussions. But these are challenges that can be managed without reducing the opportunities for voters to have their say. Another argument in favour of longer terms is the stability an extra year would bring to local governments. But as anyone who as been to a council meeting lately can attest, these institutions are as grey and predictable as the
weather in November. What’s more, most councillors are incumbents. At least elections liven things up a little and remind politicians under whose service they labour. Every three years, they have to get in front of the voters and justify their jobs once again. Longer terms might be good for senior governments but when it comes to decisions about garbage, taxes and zoning, local governments can and should be nimble.

Steve Thomson is roundly considered At the time it was the smallest to have done an excellent job as agri-

Now he has been plucked from that job and moved into a new ministry—natural resource operations—which will deal with the ongoing questions of land and natural resource use in this province. More planning. But will this ministry have a longer shelf life than the aforementioned health planning ministry? While locals may see Thomson’s exit from agriculture as a demotion, the view in Victoria is that the move is a promotion, a recognition of the good job he did with a difficult portfolio considered by the premier to be representing an underachieving in-
dustry. Under Thomson, agriculture had made strides in B.C. and abroad. As a former executive director of the B.C. Agriculture Council and a former general manager of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, he was a guy who knew the business, not a politician sent in to baby sit a ministry with little experience in the area. Thomson has now been replaced by another local MLA, Westside-Kelowna’s Ben Stewart. While it can be argued he too knows agriculture— he owns Quails’ Gate Winery—of the two, Stewart seems to be more the businessman. There’s no doubt both men will
throw themselves into the new tasks, they are hardworking and have the best interests of the their community and the province at heart. But given their experience, maybe it would have been better to have left Thomson doing what most seem to agree he was so good at and hand Stewart the seemingly more businessoriented task of dealing with land and resource-related issues. As for Thomson’s new ministry, let’s hope it survives longer than the health planning ministry did. If it doesn’t, it will be a waste of a talented and hardworking, if rather low-key, minister.. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS
Private schools save taxpayers money To the editor: In response to a letter published Oct. 20 in the Capital News (Why Are Private Schools Tax Exempt When Taxes Pay for Perfectly Good Public System?), I would like to comment on one of the biggest misconceptions I read about in the press and that is: “Private schools cost taxpayers money.” In fact, the opposite is true. Schools that are not entirely funded by the public sector (our provincial independent schools) save the
provincial taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars each and every year. Independent school students cost the government a fraction (per student) of the cost of public school students. Independent schools are also responsible for their land purchase, facility construction, maintenance and/or rent (if applicable). Independent schools are, for the most part, registered charities and operate as not-forprofit enterprises.
In addition to paying the tuition fees, parents (or grandparents, sponsors, etc.) of independent school students pay their regular municipal, provincial and federal taxes. Independent schools provide a much needed choice for families, and save provincial tax payers millions. Chris Grieve, Head of School, Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School
Lack of beds leads to long patient stays in ER To the editor: As an emergency physician who works at the Kelowna General Hospital emergency department, I feel the need to comment on a recent letter by Jeff Sims to the Capital News (Use Common Sense Before Visiting Emergency, Oct. 24). The writer may be well intentioned but is completely off the mark. He attributes the current overcrowding to inappropriate visits by people with minor problems. This is not the case. ER visits have actually been down recently. Despite this, when I come
to work, there are sometimes 20 admitted patients occupying stretchers in our 22-bed ER. These are patients who should be on a medical ward instead of “blocking” beds in the ER. It is a wonder that we are able to function at all on some days. It is not unusual for patients to remain in the ER for 72 hours before either being discharged or transferred to an inpatient ward. These are not, as the author of the letter in question would suggest, “hypochondriacs” or people with “sniffles” or “sore thumbs” but rather frail elderly patients with complex med-
ical issues. Patients with “minor” or non-urgent problems consume a very small proportion of emergency department resources. Diverting them elsewhere will do nothing to solve our overcrowding issues and will only create extra costs elsewhere in the health care system. We need to focus on the true causes of overcrowding—lack of inpatient and residential care beds and the decision by hospitals to “warehouse” patients in the ER. Jeffrey Eppler, MD, Kelowna
Raw stats can look like they support anything To the editor: I read with great amusement the letter supporting the Canadian gun registry in the Friday, Oct. 22 edition of the Capital News. The writer is touting the statistic that “during the past 10 years, the registry has reduced the death rate from gunshots in Canada from 1,400 to 800 per year.” This statement is illus-
trative of the most basic faulty “cause and effect” conclusion. I am a retired USA police sergeant, and from 1997 to 2004 was a supervisor in the Crime Scene Unit of a major Pacific Northwest police department. We noted our homicide rate had declined substantially, and asked ourselves how this could be? Many conversations took place, and two obser-
vations were made. First, hospital trauma centres were becoming much better at saving the lives of shooting victims. Many who would have died just a few years before were now surviving. Second, demographics told us that our population was aging. An aging population is less prone to committing violent criminal acts. Now, we didn’t have
any “feel good” gun control programs starting up; in fact we were seeing more concealed weapons permits issued to good law-abiding citizens. But, that is a topic for another day. I have no doubt these two factors play a part in statistics in Canada. It is not unusual for someone promoting their cause to cite raw data that seems to support their position. Typically, this raw
data is suspect because it does not take into account the many variables that can affect a statistic. I think analysis by an expert in interpreting this data would “shoot holes” in it. Yes, the pun was intentional. Bob Sherman, retired sergeant, Portland Police Bureau, Kelowna
Letter writer outraged at being implied a racist To the editor: This is total rebuttal of the nonsense that Mr. Rajabally wrote about me in your Oct. 24 edition. I am frightened by the racial slurs that Mr. Rajabally seems to think he can write against good God fearing people in this province with impunity. He mentions having a collection of my letters. Well, I give him permission to put them up for print. The people will see that my letters were saying that I have not personally seen any racism in this valley, but that is not say racism doesn’t exist in the valley and not, as he gives the impression, that they were racist by me in any way. In fact, they were the opposite. They were against his racist views, that Kelowna and West Kelowna were the worst places in the whole of Canada as far as racism went. He further states that people over 60 tend to be racists, while people
under 50 are good old boys. I do not know where he gets his facts from but I believe it is his, and only his, way of causing racial disharmony. He is a dangerous man. I have put two sons and have also four grandchildren going through the school system here in the Okanagan and he has embarrassed myself and my grandchildren by his stupid, nonsensical remarks calling me a racist. I go to parents days and other school functions and I see the school classes. They are cosmopolitan—you have native American, Asian, coloured and white— they learn together, play together and play sports together. There is no racial disharmony. In fact, Mr. Rajabally, your son, or it could have been you, played with my oldest boy Kevin, many years ago with the Mission Firefighters soccer team. They played soccer and were all good friends.
They all got in trouble with the coach if they did not do what he wanted but they all got praised if they did what the coach wanted. And (perhaps it was) your son was a good friend of my son, so I find it hard to understand why you are acting in this way towards me and many other good people. You only need to look at our system here in Canada, look how many politicians, school teachers, law enforcement officers community workers and lawyers are of Middle Eastern or Asian heritage to know that Canada is the most tolerant country in the world. I say this because for over 40 years I worked all over the world so I know what I am talking about. You are hired and promoted all over Canada through your ability and not through the colour of your skin or because you speak with a heavy accent. Maybe, Mr. Rajabally,
you were not hired sometime in the past and instead of seeing that the person who was hired may have had better credentials, you only see it as a racial act against you. You also stated that would the same rules apply and come into effect if it was a boatload of Northern Irish Catholics coming to Canada illegally. The same rules would apply and there would
be the same outcry from Canadians about people claiming refugee status who are not entitled to it. Finally, Mr. Rajabally, I feel that I deserve an apology from you for calling me a racist as the only funny remarks that I make is about my own heritage. Thomas James McLuskey, Westbank

Vintages and years blend together for the Geberts In Max’s column today: Miles Prodan has left theThompson Okanagan Tourism Association to become executive director of the B.C. Wine Institute; a new restaurant has opened on Bernard Avenue in downtown Kelowna, The Twisted Tomato; Jason Richards is the new president of the Okanagan Science and Technology Council; and Corrine Omand takes on the role of president for Kelowna’s Junior Chamber International chapter executive.

t. Hubertus and Oak Bay Estate Winery in Kelowna, at 5225 Lakeshore Rd., have started their 25th wine vintage. Winery owners Leo and Barb Gebert and Andy and Susan Gebert (two brothers married to two sisters) measure time in vintages rather than in days, and the Geberts feel they have at least another 50 vintages in them. In the photos with my column today, the black and white image (top) dates back to grapes being harvested on the St. Hubertus property back in 1929. The middle picture was a photo published in a 1968 edition of the Beautiful B.C. Magazine, showing the Smith family, the farm owners at the time, harvesting their grape crop. The third photo (bottom) shows the modern day grape harvesting machinery at work. The 1929 picture was the way they harvested back then and the 2010 image is the way they harvest today. Call 250-764-7888; www.sthubertus.bc.ca. Miles Prodan, former international marketing development specialist with the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association, is the new executive director of the British Columbia Wine Institute. The Twisted Tomato restaurant has opened at 371Bernard Ave. Proprietors Jason and Michelle Troll have relocated from Nelson, where they operated a successful Twisted Tomato in that community. When you enter their restaurant, you get the feeling of “urban chic and a little funky” with chandeliers above the tables. They are open for brunch on the weekends, with an
extensive breakfast menu featuring a wide and interesting variety of items such as “twisted” skillets, eggs benedict, breakfast sandwiches, pancakes and French toast.
The lunch and dinner menu (11 a.m. to 10 p.m.) is also extensive, offering “small cravings to share” to full course meals of pasta (Twisted Macs), salads, flatwiches, flat-
breads and gourmet pizzas. There are vegetarian items and a variety of specialty bruschettas. Their favourite picks include pork ribs, rack of lamb, mixed grill and Italian
cheese fondue for two. I’d like to try everything on the menu. Reservations recommended, call 250868-8947. David Walker, general manager of the Kelowna Golf and Country Club, has been inducted into the Western Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in Thunder Bay, Ont. Walker was an athlete on the Canadian Free Style Ski Team from 1985 to 1992 in Thunder Bay, where he was born. My comment to him was, “What are you doing in the golf world?” His reply: “I had to think of something to get out of the Thunder Bay winters.” Mark your calendars and be the first to see If These Walls Could Talk, the grand re-opening of the Laurel Packinghouse wine tasting fundraising event on Friday, Nov. 5, from 6 to 9 p.m. To reserve ($60 with $30 tax receipt) call Gayle Voyer of Total Events—250-769-9248. Nagisa Wood is the recipient of the Spirit of Kelowna Award for all the hard work she put into arranging details for the Kasugai, Japan, trip. Everything Organized—Life Made Simple is a new business started by retired RCMP officer Kim Watt-Senner. The business is just what is says. Life made simple, but with professional organizers. Also based in Kamloops and Vancouver, the company is a member of the Professional Organizers in Canada and the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization. Insured and bonded, they specialize in custom senior care packages, includ-

When I say superstretch, I mean it’s like a small airplane. The nice thing about this nine passenger limo is it looks like a “J” inside and this enables everyone to sit in the same direction. It touts everything from a DVD, TVs and Sirius radio to exotic fibre-optic lighting. With the .05 law now in effective, this is a perfect time to book the limo for Christmas functions.

When teams of volunteers are vaccinating children of a village, the tops if their little fingers are dipped in purple dye so that the team knows that they have been vaccinated. With a donation of $1 they hope to raise $3,000 which will allow 5,000 children to be vaccinated. Roy’s will also be exhibiting an iron lung used to help individuals with polio to breathe from Oct. 25 to 30.

W ENTREPRENEURS
Christian entrepreneurship creates a book about hope I would like to share with you this week an epiphany concerning my life within the entrepreneurial world in our “special place on earth”— the Okanagan. Every week as I meet new aspiring entrepreneurs and renew existing friendships and acquaintances of those enjoying an entrepreneurial lifestyle, I feel truly blessed. These folks, I’m sure, don’t realize how much joy they bring me through sharing some of their life’s moments concerning their ventures and per-

more entrepreneurs realize their potential— but to suffice, the thanks, the hugs, the emails and the phone calls fill my reservoir and feed my soul. Thank you one and all for these moments with your faith and trust. Have you experienced a moment in your busy daily lives when you are caught off-guard by a people exchange that evokes a “tsunami” of emotional tide that is impossible to suppress? A recent occurrence for me like that was the day Glen DeSchutter,
with Pryme Perfect Imagery in West Kelowna, gifted me with a beautiful photographic reproduction from a 1943 black and white picture of my deceased airforce pilot father taken shortly before he died. At the time we were involved in filming a TV commercial, but the five of us on the set at the time could not hold back the flood of emotional joy of the moment. Now, this week I am blessed to share with you the story of two that unexpectedly captured my in-

terest and my heart. Who would think that two married Okanagan mothers of young families would find a common ground to inspire, not only their foray into the Christian entrepreneurial life but, their adventure into personal life-altering change? Well, such wonderful moments can happen and here’s an example. Let me start with Donna Lowe, born in the Lake Cowichan area of Vancouver Island. After leaving her school years behind she spent about 20 years, from 1979 to ‘99, working in human resources field within a financial institution setting. This career experience provided Lowe with a wealth of insight into people, relationships and circumstances. In 1989, she married her husband and the couple, in additional to moving around the B.C. and Yukon due to her husband’s work, also brought three boys into their family along the way. The family moved to Kelowna in 1997 when Donna’s husband found an employment opportunity in the construction industry. And then there is Kim Parker. Her family roots are in the U.S.— born in Chicago, grew up in Dallas and was awarded an athletic scholarship for her gymnastic talents graduating from Penn State in 1992. After college graduation, she returned to Chicago and lived with her grandmother for a time while working for an equipment supplier. Then came a move to the world of technology in Chicago where Parker functioned as a director of sales for her employer. In 1997, Parker, while working in Toronto, met her husband Colin, who is now the chairman of the Okanagan Valley En-
trepreneurs Society. They were married in 1999. (Is the world really this small?) In 2001, the first of three children came along and Parker kept her educational skills alive through curriculum writing within the human performance field. In 2006, the Parkers moved to Kelowna when Colin was offered an attractive position in the technology sector. Kim has been assisting her husband with his marketing company since settling in the region. Now here is where the beauty of “the tale of two” begins. During a women’s retreat in 2006 at Trinity Baptist Church in Kelowna, Donna and Kim met and discovered their “epiphany” moment as the two had common interests—children of similar ages and a feeling of readiness for reaching out to their world and contribute from their hearts and minds to teach those around them about dispelling the misconceptions about love in our crazy, confused world. And so began the genesis of the entrepreneurial opportunity for these two outstanding young women. In 2007, the two began their international ministry, For the Sake of One.com, utilizing social media; conference/event teachings, podcasts; blogs and writing/study materials to counsel women about creating personal change in their lives, their families and their communities. Through this medium, my new friends reach more than 24,000 people globally which is quite amazing as new Christian entrepreneurs suggesting that love for God and each other might be alive and well but also in need of a sense of renewal. The moment of revelation came to the ladies
while they were preparing materials for a weekend retreat. They advised me that they were both touched with the thought that the “timing” was right to collaborate for the creation of a book as a compilation of their knowledge, experiences and above all, beliefs in the word of God toward loving one another the way God intended. In 2009, the decision was made to proceed with the book. They completed the first manuscript in three months working in sync with one another. Now, that’s an achievement to envy. The book, Radical Love—Forever Changed, was published and released in August 2010. The two are now exploring avenues to promote their book and the themes they want to share with readers through book signings, their website, invitations to churches across North America and by word of mouth. And please be mindful that the contents of this loving book is not only for women, but for men as well. I was gifted with an autographed copy of Radical Love and yes, I am into it already and have to once again express my heartfelt appreciation and love to these two wonderful women who shared with this spirited man over a coffee talk at Artigiano’s, words that touched my heart and soul with their story of love.

James Neal: Marking the passing of a legal giant W
hen it comes to telling the stories arising out of the workplace, generally the lawyers take a back seat. Once in a while, however, a lawyer who has had a dramatic impact becomes the story. James Neal was born in 1929 in Oak Grove, Tennessee. He died in a Nashville hospital this past week at the age of 81. In between, he became a key figure in many American legal proceedings which, directly or indirectly, had their roots in the workplace (and particularly in alleged work-related misdeeds). In 1964, Neal was a special assistant to U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. In that role, he won the U.S. government’s first conviction against the infamous president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Jim-

Robert Smithson my Hoffa. Neal had intentions of becoming a tax lawyer, at least until his association with Kennedy began in 1961. The American Bar Association’s ABA Journal quoted Neal describing his discussion with Kennedy over the assignment to prosecute corrupt labour union leaders. “I told him I didn’t have any trial experience. (Kennedy) told me, ‘That’s OK because I don’t have any experience being attorney general either.’” Hoffa had eluded conviction on four prior occasions before he was nailed
on charges of jury tampering, bribery and fraud. Neal described Hoffa as “the toughest old bird I ever met,” recalling that “when the judge would recess for lunch, Hoffa would walk over to me, stick his chest out and tell me that we should go down to the gym, put on the gloves, so that we could settle this like men.” According to the ABA Journal, Neal was sitting in the courtroom one day when a man named Warren Swanson pulled out a gun and started shooting at Hoffa. Neal recalled that “Not only did Hoffa not seek cover; (he) started charging towards Swanson and punched (him) right in the face.” In 1973, Neal was appointed to be the chief trial lawyer for the office of the Watergate special prosecutor. He successfully prosecuted key Watergate con-
spirators John Mitchell, Robert Haldeman and John Erlichman. Neal was given the task of proving that those three individuals were involved in a conspiracy with U.S. President Richard Nixon to cover up a break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate hotel. According to the ABA Journal, Neal described it as the most important case in which he had ever been involved. The result, the 1975 conviction and imprisonment of the three for conspiracy, perjury and obstruction of justice, caused Neal to comment that, “(I)t was the greatest example that our criminal justice system, thanks to an independent judiciary, works—even when dealing with those in the high-

have thoroughly discredited the state’s key expert medical witness in the trial against Nichopoulous, resulting in a quick “not guilty” decision by the jury. In 1987, Neal successfully defended movie director John Landis after the deaths of three actors as a result of an on-set accident during filming of the movie, Twilight Zone. Landis had been charged with involuntary manslaughter as a result of a helicopter crash amid detonating special effects explosives. Prosecutors sought to demonstrate that Landis had been reckless and had violated child labour laws (two of the actors killed were children).

When a Canadian resident dies, all assets are deemed to be sold just before their death. RRSP and RRIF can be transferred tax free to a spouse using a spousal transfer of assets. When there is no spouse, common law partner, or financially dependent child, tax payable is based on the total value of the RRSP or RRIF plan at the time of the annuitant’s death.

Caillou is coming Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
When Caillou and his friends skate into town next month it will be on a happy note thanks to prolific Canadian composing icon Jack Lenz. Not only did he pen the longtime Toronto Blue Jays theme song, OK Blue Jays, Lets Play Ball, and songs for last year’s Don Cherry movie, this year he set aside six weeks to work on Caillou’s Greatest Skate of All, a theatrical adaptation of the books-turned cartoon which, as it happens, has quite a few twists and turns itself. To say Caillou is a colourful character would be an understatement and when he crashes the Kelowna Community Theatre this November he will literally be doing a bit of crashing and bashing about the stage. “We have what I call some really off-kilter skating music,” said Lenz. Paquin Entertainment has not given much away, but allows that the story
Jack Lenz line involves a great skating adventure with Caillou learning to figure skate from an Olympian. For Lenz, the project was also a chance to break out some of his old hockey lingo and metaphors, happily sliding back into what he calls the great Canadian skating theme—though he admits topics like “winterfest” aren’t always the easiest to write into an interesting score. He uses clarinets and xylophones and tuba’s to punch up Caillou’s slips and slides. The music very much follows the story line on stage in a similar fashion as one might remember from the

Caillou and friends will be in Kelowna on Nov. 16. old Bugs Bunny cartoons, which should be a warm reprieve for some of the parents in the crowd. “That music was so pragmatic,” Lenz said, as he explained why they chose a back-to-basics style. “The music and the melody just matched the action.” So when Caillou
jumps, you hear a sliding clarinet kick it up an octave and when he tumbles, the crashing of a cymbal follows. “It’s more of a craft than it is necessarily inspired,” the composer added. “(The songs) don’t have the same emotional range as if you’re writing a tune for Josh Groban or
Andrea Bocelli.” Part of the challenge, of course is to ensure these songs can be sung by kids, for kids and its the kids writers like Lenz turn to as they hammer out the final details to ensure each chorus will be popping through local livingrooms over and over this winter.
Grabbing that turn of phrase, rhyme or tinkling note to push a song from enjoyable to one the kids will take home with them is no easy task. And it sounds like the writers are hoping it won’t be all that easy to shake these melodies once Caillou skates into the hearts of local audiences mid-

Experience the love with Ballet Kelowna You’ve been Love is in the air this Fall as Ballet Kelowna sweeps audiences off their feet with the powerfully romantic program, Aspects of Love. Premiered in Kamloops on Oct. 13, Ballet Kelowna’s eighth season program features uplifting, Canadian-choreographed ballet works that are passionate and romantic. First on the program is Romanza (2005), a flirtatious carefree ballet set to the music of the great romantic composer Frederic Chopin. “Romanza takes us back to late 19th Century Europe, the days of elegance and charm when ballrooms were awhirl with the passion of the dance,” says Ballet Kelowna’s artistic director David LaHay. Next is an exciting newly commissioned ballet by Vancouver choreographer Simone Orlando, in collaboration with Penticton composer Stu Goldberg. “Since working with Stu Goldberg on the recording of Arnold Draper’s commissioned score for In Arden Woods

last season, we have wanted to have a work uniquely commissioned for Ballet Kelowna,” says LaHay. “We are very excited to have this most wonderful collaboration between Stu and Simone as part of our 2010-2011 season.” An accomplished dancer, Simone Orlando’s choreographic explorations began in 1997. Praised for her mature and sensitive ideas, vision, musicality, and delineation of movement and space, her work has been presented at the Vancouver
International Dance Festival, Dancing on the Edge, the Chutzpah Festival, Romp!, and Dances for a Small Stage. She was the inaugural recipient of the Performing Arts Commission at the 2004 Vancouver Arts Awards and won the prestigious 2006 Clifford E. Lee Choreography Award for which she created the work, Winter Journey, at the Banff Centre. In 2009, she received a Fellowship Initiative Grant from the New York Choreographic Institute, an affiliate of New York City Ballet, to develop new choreography on the dancers of Ballet BC. In addition to his many original scores, Stu Goldberg arranges, orchestrates, programs, records and mixes scores for other composers which have appeared in 100s of feature films, television mov-

As a recording artist, he continues to produce and record his own CDs, which are released on his Dedication Records label. Inspired by Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, a new ballet by David LaHay will explore the tragic love and passionate interplay of Shakespeare’s Romeo, Juliet, Lady Capulet and Tybalt. “We’ll focus on the young lovers and their whirlwind romance against the backdrop of a family feud that sees them finally united forevermore,” he says. Rounding out the program is Sir Anton Dolin’s interpretation of the charming Peasant pas de Deux from Act I Giselle. A dance usually performed on stage for visiting nobility as a testament to the love of dancing, this is arguably the greatest of the Romantic ballets. “It is always exciting to find those ballets that not only delight and move our audiences, but also challenge our dancers and allow them to find themselves in the dances,” concludes LaHay. “With three new dancers this season, the look of Ballet Kelowna will change
and it will be a wonderful journey to share in their development. Watching our dancers being a part of the creation process and bringing their own unique abilities, interpretations and personalities into play is a privilege. During the live presentation, the audience becomes a partner in the dance.” The tour began in Kamloops and made stops in Osoyoos (Oct. 15), Summerland (Oct. 16), Grand Forks (Oct. 22) and Nakusp (Oct. 23). The production will be at the Kelowna Community Theatre at 8 p.m. on Oct. 29 and 2 p.m. on Oct. 30 (www.ticketmaster.ca). It then moves on to Vernon, 2 p.m. Nov 20 (ticketseller.ca).

hearing Bruno Mars all along BRUNO MARS: DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS (ELEKTRA) Bruno Mars has had a tremendous amount of success with his debut album that opened at No.6 on the national sales charts while his love-
ly and uber romantic hit (“You’re amazing”) Just The Way You Are (“… she’s so lovely”) is at the No.2 spot on the airwaves just behind Katy Perry. Although he might seem like an overnight success, Bruno Mars once had a recording contract but got dumped from that deal for perceived shortcomings. As a result Mars went on to write, sing and produce as The Smeethingtons on mega hits for the likes of B.o.B., Travie McCoy, Cee Lo and Flo Rida. So even if Bruno Mars seems like a newcomer, you have been hearing him all over the airwaves and club dance floors. His debut album is a delightful, laidback disc of pretty make-out music, mellow reggae (with a superb dub track Liquor

ERIC CLAPTON: CLAPTON (REPRISE)
Although Clapton’s forays into old blues on albums such as From The Cradle and Me & Mr. Johnson, his tribute to Robert Johnson, got fairly solid notices, I found them somewhat turgid, boring and perhaps a little too professorial—the new CD liner photo did not raise my hopes at first. But Clapton has put out one of the best albums of his long but inconsistent catalogue with this new disc simply titled Clapton, the same name as his recent autobiography. On this new album, Clapton gets a little down and gritty on the opener Travelin’ Alone and the somewhat Cream-like Run Back To Your Side. Clapton reveals a hitherto unknown sense of humour on Rocking Chair and When Somebody Thinks You’re Wonderful. Clapton also channels a little Louis Armstrong phrasing on My Very Good Friend The MilkSee Mitchell B7

BOB DYLAN: BEST OF THE ORIGINAL MONO RECORDINGS (COLUMBIA)
When The Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, etc. all first started making records there really was no such thing as stereo recording. They just used to mix some instruments on one side and others on the opposite speaker to fake a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;liveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sounding experience. But often those studio mixes for stereo just sounded bad and unfocused and I am sure that the recording industry was surprised at how many buyers of The Beatles recent career box sets bought the Mono versions. Also how do you rec-

Anyway, Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first eight albums were recorded in true mono and they have all now been released as a box set and there are some truly cool revelations. I was sent the above 15 track sampler, Best Of The Original Mono Recordings, and right off the bat classics such as Like A Rolling Stone and Hey Mr. Tambourine Man sound better and more balanced.

Keith Langergraber’s inspiration from Rattlesnake Island
L
ocal-area residents will most definitely enjoy the film component of this solo show by Vancouver-based (but Kelowna-raised) artist Keith Langergraber. It was made in 2009 and focuses on a fictional young man’s quest to find the Ogopogo, the legendary water serpent said to live in Okanagan Lake. Titled Rattlesnake Island (the same title given to the overall exhibition), this 15-minute long film is installed in our Reynolds Gallery space. Viewers of the film who live here will recognize the local landscape and will already be familiar with the lore of the

Liz Wylie Ogopogo. Across the hallway from this room, in our outdoor Rotary Courtyard, is a crude wooden shack, built by Langergraber from found materials, and surrounded by miscellaneous debris. The shack looks as though it has been lived in, but has been abandoned, perhaps only recently.
In our hallway are two displays, one of an artist’s book, featuring intricate and detailed botanical renderings of birds, for example. The other is a selection of images all based on the Ogopogo. Are we to surmise that the artist of these items was the hermit living in the shack? And could he be one and the same as the central character in Langergraber’s film, or would this be too tidy an interpretation? Such questions may arise in visitors’ minds and we are not provided with any definitive answers. There are certainly multiple layers of infor-

During the film, the main character travels by kayak and explores the real Rattlesnake Island, which is in Okanagan Lake across from Peachland, close to the opposite shore. Langergraber has filmed some of the strange concrete structures built there in the 1970s by Eddie Haymour, an infamous Okanagan character who owned the island at that time and planned to build an amusement park there. Evidently given to fantastic visions, Haymour later built Castle Haymour across the lake,

Langergraber’s female film narrator goes into detail about this bizarre character, as the central protagonist slips into something of a crazed state. One wonders if these unfortunate figures are metaphors or stand-ins for the role/life of the artist— that lone figure working in marginalized isolation in his or her studio. Certainly Langergraber is prone to metaphor and reference in his work. The notion of artistic practice as a journey, for example, is called into play by the name the hero gives his little kayak in the artist’s film: The Ocean Wave.

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved Harold on Sunday, October 24, 2010 at the age of 69.

Also surviving are his brothers and spouses Fred and Lynn Greenaway and family, Tom and Judy Greenaway and family, sister Brenda and husband Alvin Heise and family. Pre-deceased by his parents William and Peggy Greenaway and brother David. Harold was born and raised in Kelowna, spending all his life in the beautiful Okanagan. Enjoying everything the Okanagan can offer, he was an outdoor enthusiast with a passion for life. Harold worked for OK Tel and BC Tel for 33 enjoyable years. He was a loving and caring husband, father, papa, brother and friend who will be forever missed. The family wants to thank the doctors and nurses at KGH for the wonderful care and attention he received during his courageous battle with cancer. Special thanks to Dr. Erasmus, Dr. Victor, Dr. Ferris and Dr. Delorme. The many memories and support from wonderful friends and family will always be cherished.

Flushing occurs between 8:00 am and 3:30 pm. Avoid doing laundry during these times. During these hours you may experience variations in the water pressure and some discoloration in the water. If you experience discoloration, run the cold water tap until the water runs clear. To avoid any inconveniences, check your water for clarity prior to use.

When teams of volunteers are vaccinating the children of a village the tips of their little fingers are dipped in purple dye so that the team knows that they have been done. Royâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shoes will also be exhibiting an iron lung used to help individuals with polio to breath. A patient with polio may need to use an iron lung which, when sealed, provides an effectively oscillating atmospheric pressure so they can breathe. The Iron Lung and the Purple Pinkie Project will be at Royâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shoes until Saturday. Watch for Purple Pinkie Projects at UBCO, Okanagan College, London Drugs, Farmers Markets and other locations across the Okanagan. On Oct. 30, Ramesh Ferris, a Canadian polio survivor and long distance cyclist, will speak at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, 7 p.m. He will also attend a book signing from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day at Royâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shoes, 1627 Ellis St. in downtown Kelowna.

$86,000 is owed in tax on the $200,000 RRIF balance. Since tax payable is generally based on the value of the plan at the time of the annuitantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, it is important to do tax planning during your lifetime to avoid paying tax at the highest tax rate in B.C. at time of death. As each personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation is different, please consult your certified financial planner or tax advisor to discuss your personal RRSP/RRIF strategies.
