Mixed messages about housing Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Depending on whom you reference, the real estate market is either posed for a magnificent crash or conditions are looking up. The disparity is enough to drive an investor barmy and by the estimates of Re/Max’s Cliff Shillington, it’s paralyzing—especially in Kelowna. “Consumers are getting too many conflicting reports. There were reports awhile ago about a housing bubble, that was craziness…our country is stable,” he said, on the heels of the fall RE/MAX Market Trends Report that paints a sunny, albeit drama-dry, picture of the conditions at hand. It explains that prices and sales are flat, and the market’s not too hot or too cold — it’s just right for fickle buyers. In Canada, Shillington pointed out, it’s not just realtors singing that song, either. Solid economic indicators are pointing to an improvement, as we’re now out of recession and local unemployment numbers have improved. “Buyers are being cautious, there’s nothing wrong with that,” he said. “But, now in my opinion, it is a good time to get into the market.” Numerous first time buyers who were once blocked from home-
ownership due to outrageous prices, he explained, have ventured into the real estate market, encouraged by low interest rates and flattening house prices. And their movement seems to be indicated in recent figures. Even though there was a significant summer slowdown it’s done little to dampen year-to-date activity in Kelowna’s housing market. Sales up to the end of August remain eight per cent ahead of 2009 levels, with 2,728 units sold this year compared to last year’s 2,523. “Activity continues to gain momentum, with sales posting an encouraging September start,” states the report. “While average price appreciation has begun to moderate— up close to two per cent in August—the average residential value remains nearly seven per cent ahead of year-ago levels at $418,598. Attractive interest rates, a great selection of product and buyer’s market conditions continue to draw purchasers into the fold.” The most notable area of improvement is among homes in the $400,000 to $500,000 price range, although even Kelowna’s suffering condo market saw a slight improvement.

Adverse conditions dulled summer tourism Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Despite a rocky economy, some less than favourable weather and a couple of fires, Kelowna’s tourism industry managed to make some gains this summer. Speaking to city council Monday, Tourism Kelowna CEO Nancy Cameron said visits were up
three per cent from the previous year. Unfortunately, that gain was made on the previous year’s 10 per cent loss, but it’s still a step in the right direction. “The lingering effects of the (recession) are still being felt with fewer people travelling,” she said. Those who are making trips beyond their borders are also looking at a lot
more choices for travelling on the cheap, and the competition between travel destinations is throwing the industry a curveball. “All of these present themselves through last minute bookings, creating a difficult operating environment,” she said. While there are challenges, the local industry is far from unprepared. In the last couple of

years it has gone “social media crazy” pumping out information on how great this part of the valley is to visit. Highlighting the tip of the iceberg of that approach, Cameron said that a Facebook account was launched last spring and had 70 “fans.” Now its number is up to 1,100.

ATV crash kills Kelowna man Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Police are trying to piece together what led to a late-night all-terrain vehicle crash that claimed the life of a Kelowna man. Police were called to Beaver Lake Forest Service Road, approximately one kilometre past the Beaver Lake Resort, at 12:45 a.m. on Sunday and discovered a 33-yearold man had been fatally wounded after his ATV plunged down an embankment. Officers say Kelly Rooy had been out with a group of ATVers when he became separated from the group at around 10 p.m. “At midnight, the rolled over ATV was discovered, by other riders, down an embankment and the victim had been pinned by the machine,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “He died of his injuries despite attempts to resuscitate him.”
The ATV had a roll cage, but the driver was thrown from the vehicle as it rolled down the embankment, which has been described as steep and rocky. The man was also not wearing a helmet. Police say it is hard to know exactly what happened, but Holmes said there is evidence that the ATV’s two wheels came off the road because the driver had encountered a washout on the path. “He then apparently struck a tree and then with the momentum it carried him over and down the hill,” said Holmes. It is unclear at this stage whether speed or alcohol played a factor. The man had consumed alcohol, police say, but until a toxicology report is completed, officers can’t say whether or not alcohol consumption contributed to the crash. The B.C. Coroner’s Service is investigating the death.

Youth pleads guilty to SunRype defends U.S. purchase assault in stabbing case W BUSINESS
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A teenager accused of stabbing a man who confronted him and another youth because he believed they had been rifling through his vehicle, has pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm. Jarrett Christopher Jakins was charged with the December 2008 aggravated assault of Bruce Campbell, but pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of assault causing bodily harm on what was to be the first day of his trial Monday. He also pleaded guilty to breach of recognizance for being outside his home after curfew back in April of this year. On Dec. 5, 2008, a relative of Campbell noticed someone rifling through the vehicles outside Campbell’s McCulloch Road home and when Campbell went to
check, he noticed the console and dash of his vehicle were torn apart, Campbell told the Capital News. Down the street, he found two youths and confronted them. He grabbed a knapsack that one of them was wearing and said then a golf club was wielded against him. Campbell pushed one youth down before the other one, aged 18, started stabbing him in the back. He said he was also caught in the chest by his attacker’s knife before he and others were able to wrestle the youth to the ground. Court records later identified the 18-year-old as Jakins. A pre-sentence report was ordered and Jakins is scheduled to return to court in Kelowna Nov. 19 to schedule a sentencing date.
SunRype officials insist the purchase of a U.S. plant doesn’t herald darker days for its local employees. In fact, CEO Dave McAnerney—who announced the acquisition of Washingtonbased Yakama Juice last week— said it just indicates that SunRype is growing stronger, and that will benefit everyone with close ties to the company. “We’ve been operating in the Okanagan for 60 years…our roots are firmly planted and we’re committed to our employees, local growers and the
community,” he said. “This expands our processing rate and packaging capabilities, but other than making SunRype a stronger business, it won’t have any impact on Kelowna business.” Previously, locally-based companies like Western Star Trucking, or Pacific Safety Products made similar claims as they stretched their reach beyond municipal boundaries, but McAnerney explained the difference between those companies and SunRype is a strong business case to stay local. “We rely on the local supply of apples,” he said. “That’s why SunRype
was established 60 years ago, and that need continues today.” For the past 15 years, he estimated, the amount of apples produced locally hasn’t been enough to satiate the company’s needs entirely, but what comes from local growers is far from insubstantial. In fact, the volume of cull fruit that SunRype uses to make its products increased in recent years. Taking on Yakama Juice will just help the company better meet consumer demands. “The fact is everything we do starts with the customer,” he said. “All of our products are grounded in consumer research, and
consumers say they like choice and want a variety of packaging formats.” Yakama will allow the company to produce more plastic and glass bottles of juice. And, he said, the local factory won’t be left out as this new era of growth begins. “These are very exciting times at SunRype,” he said. “The business is growing and the is board is supportive of the overall business.” The board actually made a decision to make a significant investment in the plant, and that, See SunRype A4

SunRype from A3 coupled with a recent fiveyear deal with union employees, is a “testament to the fact (the company) is moving in the right direction. It’s a far cry from where they were a couple of years ago, when union employees went on strike for several months. McAnerney says that chapter is closed. “That’s behind us and we’re all looking toward the future now,” he said. Yakama Juice was previously owned by the confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, and it already supplied Sun-Rype with product. It’s a significant fruit processor and manufacturer of beverages in both plastic and glass containers, supplying beverage companies and retailers in both the United States and Canada. The new, US-facility is USDA compliant, HACCP approved and certified organic by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. Yakama’s annual sales are approximately $17 million.
Historic city blocks recognized Two of Kelowna’s history-rich neighbourhoods will get some recognition, although it’s not clear how it will look just yet. Signage, a plaque and historical background information will be installed in Kelowna’s old Chinatown district, east of Abbott between Harvey and Leon avenues. At the turn of the 20th century, 15 per cent of Kelowna’s population was of Chinese origin. In fact, the Chinese population was so sizeable, it lured Sun Yat Sen, co-founder of the Chinese National People’s Party, to the Valley for fundraising. Fast forwarding a few decades, the North End will get a nod for the houses built there and given to Second World War soldiers at an affordable rate. It was suggested a Vfor-Victory marker on street signs should be chosen, but that will be further mulled over.

Run for the Cure raises $311K More than 1,800 breast cancer survivors, their families, friends and supporters created a party in pink on Sunday at the 19th annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure in City Park. Walkers and runners alike ran, jogged and walked the five-kilometre and one-kilometre routes around Kelowna. The local participants collected donations in the months leading up to the Run, raising more than $311,000 in the city. At B.C.’s nine run sites, some 22,000 contributed to a provincial fundraising total of $3.6 million. Across Canada, participants at 60 run sites raised a total of $33 million. All funds support initiatives in prevention, early detection, treatment, research and emerging issues in the health care workforce. Last year’s runs around B.C. contributed more than $3.2 million to a nation-wide total of $26.5 million and local organizers went all out to exceed that amount this time around. “The countless hours spent organizing the run and the funds raised this year show the extraordinary passion that unites our supporters to change the face of breast cancer,” said Susan Ewanick, board chairwoman of the, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s, B.C. and Yukon region. “We are so grateful to all our supporters and participants,” said Linda Morris, CEO, of the Foundation. “From humble beginnings, the evolution of this event over the last 19 years is incredible. Without a doubt, the run has significantly helped to improve our understanding of breast cancer.” The Determination Award for the individual who raised the most donations went to Heather Schroeter. The CIBC Corporate Spirit Team Challenge Award winner for the most donations raised by a corporate team was Manteo Resort and the New Balance Women’s Team Challenge Award for the women’s team that raised the most donations went to Bust’n Loose.

Safadi is alleged to bring kilos of cocaine to the men on three occasions in July and August of 2006, and the indictment alleges she was trafficking cocaine for the benefit of, at the direction of or in association with a criminal organization.

Housing from A16 cent increase in sales, and the average price is now $258,000, compared to $253,000 for 2009. While Shillington and Re/Max are pointing to slow and steady improvements, the schism among industry experts is highlighted by a couple other reports that came out last week. A CIBC World Markets Inc. report says B.C. home prices are overvalued by almost 17 per cent and due for another price correction. “Granted, no part of Canada looks to be immune to further housing market weakness, with significant momentum having been more recently lost,” said economist Warren Lovely in the report. “But it’s in B.C. and Alberta where housing prices have overshot fair market value by the largest margin, with an ongoing correction expected to dull residential construction activity and blunt consumer enthusiasm.” A more tempered forecast released last week, by Central 1 Credit Union claims, the median annual

The downward trend in housing sales that has characterized much of 2010 will stabilize in the fourth quarter of this year before trending higher in 2011 and 2012. Residential transactions will fall seven per cent from 2009 levels before rising by a modest by five per cent in 2011 and nine percent in 2012. “A weak sales environment and elevated inventory levels have led to downward pressure on prices in 2010 and those declines will persist into early 2011,” said Bryan Yu, a Central 1 economist. “Lower prices and attractive mortgage rates will be a powerful incentive in attracting an increased number of buyers to the market next year.” That said, the report stated improvements will be slower going in regions like Kelowna where the secondary home market drives sales.

identification has been challenged by defence lawyers. The Crown also pointed to a ledger book found in Herrick’s Pandosy Street apartment in August 2006 that provided a “detailed account of the cocaine trafficking conducted by the organization.” It showed 529 ounces of cocaine were distributed and $337,235 was received from ounce level sales in a two month period in 2006. Crown counsel John Walker said during that time there were two to three “flips” where the organization received a kilogram or larger of cocaine at one time.

Three youths were arrested on Monday morning after a rash of vehicle break-ins downtown, police say. Around 6:30 a.m., police were called to the Fuller, Lawson and Clement Avenues area after people reported three young men were seen searching through parked cars. Police officers spotted three youths who matched the description provided by witnesses as they were running down Fuller Avenue, and arrested them after a foot chase. t “A search of the youths located items believed to have been taken from the pilfered vehicles,” said Const. Steve Holmes. r The youths, two aged 15 and one aged 16, are facing charges of possession of stolen property. One of the boys, police fsay, is known to them. Holmes said that rmany of the vehicles from which items were stolen had been left unlocked. “It just appears it was a crime of opportunity,” said Holmes. Police are asking anyone who had vehicles parked in that area to check their cars for missing items and report thefts to police so that the seized items can be returned.

Instead, he points to intercepted calls that make it clear that a man identified as Fraser says money is owed to him, not an organization. The Crown has not been able to define the alleged actions benefited anyone but Fraser, Jevning argued. And Herrick’s lawyer argued that there was not a criminal organization as defined by the Criminal Code. He said that Herrick
and Fraser were a unit, “but I’m not saying it goes beyond those two.” The Criminal Code defines a criminal organization as having three or more people. Herrick’s lawyer argued the Crown had not proven that other people Fraser and Herrick dealt with in the alleged drug dealing were members of their organization. The case, which first went to trial back in March, relied largely on police surveillance and intercepted phone calls made and received by Fraser and Herrick. Crown says the identification of Fraser and Herrick as the callers is “overwhelming” but that

Western Canadian Music Awards put Kelowna on the music map Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
When organizers of the Western Canadian Music Awards and BreakOut West Music Festival say the event will put Kelowna on the music map, it’s visits from musicians like Jen Lane they are talking about. This Saturday evening Lane will play one of her first concerts right here in Kelowna, following the release of her latest CD, offering music
lovers a sneak peak of what they will be able to hear at the BreakOut West festival. It will also give Lane a chance to test-run the Streaming Café as a venue. Lane is considered one of the premier musicians in her province of Saskatchewan, a place known for its powerful musical alumni, and will play this relatively new venue again during BreakOut West later this month. “I’ll get a little preemptive strike,” she joked
this week. “You get to see the venue and see if you’ve got any different ideas for the next show.” Lane put out her first album 10 years ago and was chosen by CBC as the performer to feature from Saskatchewan as programming for the WCMAs and BreakOut West was assembled. Having toured the country extensively, she says playing a venue helps her develop a certain affinity for the place and she’s already impressed with
the live-streaming option at the Streaming Café. It broadcasts the performers they book over the Internet. “I think it’s an awesome idea. So you can see anybody from anywhere,” she said, adding: “I think they’re starting a trend there.” On the ground in Kelowna, those keyed into the existing music scene are also starting to tie their ventures to the coming awards and show. When the Okanagan Symphony opens its season on Friday, Oct. 15, composer Elizabeth Raum’s work will be among the first concerts featured. Raum’s work will also be performed during the Classical Music Showcase Concert at BreakOut West the next week, OSO director Rose-

nominated for a WCMA as well. There is a buzz building around the impending event. And for artists like Lane, buzz is exactly what’s needed from an award show and music festival. After cancelling the first shows of her tour due to the death of her motherin-law, she’s hoping Kelowna can help launch her CD—the first she’s put out in four years. Having suffered an ankle injury that kept her off the road, she said she’s happy to be back touring and believes the time off really bolstered her work. “Sometimes you’re just like, ‘yea, it’s good enough.’ I would have done this different or that different. There’s nothing I would have done different on this last record,” she said.

Lane plays the Streaming Café Saturday, Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. and returns to the Streaming Café for BreakOut West at 10 p.m. on Oct. 23.

recently awarded a twoyear contract for a yearround facility for the dropoff of household hazardous waste materials. It will provide a six day a week service for the collection, temporary storage, transport and disposal of residential household hazardous waste products. This service for all Central Okanagan residents will be launched at the one-day round-up on Oct. 16. “It’s great residents will now have an opportunity to safely dispose of their eco-nasties easily year-round, instead of saving them up for this one day drop off event,� said Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitator with the Regional District. She said the average household has more than 100 litres of household hazardous materials stored in their kitchens, bathrooms, closets, basements and garages at any one time. Those materials include stuff like old gasoline or anti-freeze, pesticides, paint, solvents and household cleaners. Stewart added that it’s a good idea to get rid of these types of items if they are not needed. “Many household chemicals can pose a risk if disposed incorrectly, and are banned from our landfills and sewer systems,� she added. “Just as importantly, they can be dangerous to our families and pets if not used or stored properly.� The round-up is for residential use only. Commercial waste will not be accepted. Residential hazardous materials include anything with an explosive, flammable or poisonous label, like solvents, chemicals, corrosive or toxic cleaners, pesticides and old gasoline. Automotive and household batteries and propane tanks are also accepted at the event. For more information about the round-up, and the new year-round disposal option, go to regionaldistrict.com the Regional waste reduction office at 250-469-6250.

Weight was a factor in plane crash Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A weighed down plane, a hot day and an attempt to clear a mountain are factors that all collided in August, leading to a plane crash that took the lives of four Central Okanagan men. “The pilot’s chosen route…was not conducive to the aircraft performance that day,” said Bill Yearwood of the Transportation Safety Board. “Everything is consistent with the aircraft operating at high power but not able to climb…the terrain.” Yearwood noted that

A man charged with a string of robberies in August pleaded guilty Tuesday to one of the offences. Anthony Dana Cartland, 36, was charged with committing three
Weight, temperature and altitude all affect a plane’s performance, he noted. “The issues here are as old as aviation, probably older,” said Yearwood. “It’s basic physics.” He likened the issue to a bird catching a fish and then struggling to fly while carrying the weight of its prey. The issue, he added, can be overcome by pilot planning. The wreckage of the plane, which investigators say had no mechanical problems, was eventually found in dense brush near the top slope of Apex Mountain on Aug. 24.

Pilot Rama Jesus Tello, 36, and passengers Salem Dedovic, 30, Jasson Kevin Christopher Patrick Minor, 35, and Maya Paulo Nicholas Tello-Wrigley, 21, all died in the crash.

Women over 40 should have a clinical breast examination by a trained health professional at least every two years. And if you are a woman over the age of 70, talk to your doctor about a screening program for you. “It’s important to know that no screening test for cancer is 100 per cent accurate,� said
Kaminsky. “For example, a screening test can sometimes show cancer when there isn’t, or not show

A doctor may advise a screening program based on one’s individual needs. “There are risk reduction strategies that may lessen the chance of developing breast cancer,� said Kaminsky. “These include eating a healthy diet, being physically active, limiting your alcohol consumption and avoiding tobacco.� The Canadian Cancer Society recommends the following: Eat a diet high in vegetables and fruit. Although more research is needed into the effect of diet on breast cancer, a diet high in vegetables and fruit and low in fat is encouraged as it has been shown to protect against several cancers, as well as heart disease.

Arthritis in dogs may slow your pet down but it is treatable
H
ave you noticed some changes in your dog lately? Is he or she less active? Does the animal have a problem rising from a lying position? Is your pet favoring one leg? Is the animal more stiff lately? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, your dog might be suffering from arthritis. Arthritis is a group of disorders associated with the bones and joints. The meaning of the term arthritis is an inflammation of the joint. There are few types of arthritis. Some of them are related to autoimmune diseases, where the body attacks the joints as if they
FURRY FRIENDS
Dr. Moshe Oz were foreign, which leads to an inflammation reaction. More commonly though, arthritis is a result of old age changes in the joints due to wear and tear. The damage starts at the cartilage. There is erosion of the cartilage, which causes loss of the cushioning effect of the joint leading to bones rub-
bing against each other. This process leads to permanent changes of the bones involved and accumulation of fluids in the joint. Those changes are typical to an inflammation reaction, which is naturally very painful. There are many symptoms for arthritis. The symptoms are generally associated with the pain resulting from using the affected joint. Hence dogs with arthritis might favor one leg. They might be slow or reluctant to get up or to lie down. They also may be reluctant to go for a walk or may want to go back home early in the walk.
They may be reluctant to go up or down the stairs or may hesitate to jump up to the couch or let out a little yelp when they do jump up. Sometimes, you will notice that your dog is stiff early in the morning or at a beginning of a walk but appears to improve as it warms up. So what can you do to help your buddy? Well, the changes that are associated with arthritis may not be reversible but there are measures you can take in order to slow down the process, and improve your furry friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life. First, if you suspect arthritis in your dog, take

it to see your veterinarian. The vet will examine the dog and will perform a physical exam, which will include passive movement of the joints to check for a pain reaction or restrictive movement range of the joint. The vet may also suggest performing an xray in order to visualize the changes in the affected joints. This will either confirm or rule out arthritis. Arthritis is treated with a group of drugs that are called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These medications control the inflammation reaction in the joints and the pain associated with it. Humans are also using many drugs of this group such as acetaminophen or
Ibuprofen but never give your dog a human drug without consulting your vet because these drugs are toxic for pets. Even the veterinary version of the drugs posses some potential hazards, so your vet might suggest performing blood work before prescribing the medication, and a periodical blood work while your dog is on the medication. You can also give your dog food additives such as glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate or omega-3 fatty acids that are sold over the counter and shown to help relieve the symptoms of arthritis in dogs. You can also find prescription diets that contain those food supplements and support the joints.
Keeping your dog active can help in both maintaining the range of motion in the joint and also maintaining normal body weight. Be aware that dogs with arthritis also like to lie on padded surfaces. Arthritis is a common outcome of old-age, unfortunately nobody can change that, but it is manageable, especially if diagnosed early. Please consult your veterinarian about treating your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arthritis in order to keep you buddy comfortable, safe and happy.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Physical Activity Guide recommends that adults add physical activity into their daily life by including 60 minutes of light to moderate physical activity every day. As you progress to
more vigorous activities, you can reduce the time you spend to 30 minutes, four times a week Physical activity, in combination with a healthy diet, is also one of the best ways to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Maintaining a healthy weight helps to reduce your risk of cancer. Research shows that overall 30 to 35 per cent of all cancers can be prevented by eating well, being active and maintaining a healthy body weight.
It is suggested that drinking less alcohol may lessen the risk of breast cancer, although research has not yet determined how much a safe amount would be. For women, if you choose to drink alcohol, drink less than 1 drink a day. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start smoking or if you currently smoke, get help to quit. There is not any strong evidence to indicate that smoking is a risk factor for breast cancer and more research is needed to clarify the link. Despite that, we know 30 per cent of cancers are directly attributable to smoking. Catherine Loiacono is with the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

Genetical-modifying foods has an effect on life as we know it
G
enetically altered food is quietly swimming into our food chain. It should be of great concern to each and every one of us, the silent introduction of genetically altered food that is happeningâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even as you read
this column. Lately in the news, there have been many snippets touching on the fact the science has offered up genetically altered salmon; this sounds fishy and may have gone unnoticed by many. According to informa-
tion quoted directly from Medical News Today, AquaBounty Technologies Inc. has developed a genetically engineered (genetically modified) salmon that reaches full adult weight much faster than ordinary non-engineered salmon.
This new type of salmon, called AquAdvantage salmon, will provide compelling economic benefit to salmon farmers, the company says. Additionally, there will be less need for ocean pens. This all sounds very nice but the realities of what is happening here are absolutely horrific. According to Purdue University scientists, genetically modified-salmon could drive existing salmon populations to extinction. It would not take that many genetically modified-salmon to do this. If they managed to mate outside their farms, the existing wild gene pool would be destroyed. The problems that exist are way too many to discuss in this column but as I have touched on in the past, the potential for new health issues to arise because of this is phenomenal.
foods nobody at the FDA is listening or even cares. Just a quick refresher: Because it says it is natural on the label does not mean that it is healthy. Natural is really a generic term. My dog leaves all sorts of natural piles on the lawn. If you look at some of the labels in the supermarket they will state â&#x20AC;&#x153;wild Pacific salmonâ&#x20AC;? but in smaller words on that same label it will also read â&#x20AC;&#x153;product of China.â&#x20AC;? The Pacific Ocean does not even technically reach China. The fact is you cannot trust much of what is on a label as there are so many ways to manipulate words and truth. I have talked before about the over-population of the earth and the need to feed everyone. But the only way it will happen is to create your own food in laboratories which, again, is another way to say we
FINDING REMEDIES
John Sherman The FDA in the United States has already gone on the record stating it will not require any special labeling of genetically modified salmon. What this really means is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shut up, eat and do not ask any questions.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You cannot really boycott buying this product either, because you will not even know which one it is as it will not be labeled. In past columns I have written about cloned cows that would be used for food and the controversies associated with that. The bottom line is that regardless of any detrimental health effects and everything else negative about genetically altering
have no hope. Everything on this earth, without exception, is interconnected somehow and that includes the food and water we consume. That means that when we start altering this, even if it is just a salmon, cow or soybeans, it affects our health on a very deep level. The new organic custodians of our world need to be aware of this because they will need to be 100 per cent sure genetically modified has not secretly been introduced. Ask yourself this question: What would you rather eat, a tomato sprayed with pesticides or a tomato that has been genetically altered? Not so easy to answer and even harder to swallow. Remember to question all claims regardless of where they come from because it may make a difference in your ongoing level of health.

Swaths of bulb flowers: With a bit of effort, but fun for all that, bulbs can be planted in lawns or woodland settings to bloom in spring in great swaths of colour. Many will return and spread, spring after spring. Bulbs bought in quantity are often discounted: These types of plantings are perfect for parks and community gardens, so neighbours can band together to share the cost of group orders, often at wholesale prices. Naturalistic plantings: Bulbs are equally ef-
a desired sequence. The result is two tiers of eye-catching colour, with taller plants blooming above a carpet of lower growing colour below. The strategic gardener can combine early, mid and late blooming bulbs planted in the same spot to achieve wave after wave of double-decker splendor.

ts bulb time again in the Okanagan. There can be no greater fun in the garden than to bury some treasure in the fall to give great pleasure when it bursts into bloom in the spring. Tulips, daffodils, crocus, hyacinths and narcissus are the most common, however there are several species of small bulbs to be discovered as well as some less common species such as the Fritillaria. Flower bulbs are among the easiest plants in the garden to grow successfully. Very little knowledge is needed, and most of that can be found on the packaging. Gardeners, regardless of skill level, are thus free to explore their creativity. That’s another thing flower bulbs are well suited for—fall-planted tulips, daffodils, alliums and other spring bloomers offer gardeners an endless palette of colours, shapes, sizes and bloom times. Here are some design tips from the Netherlands Flower Bulb Information Center in Danby, Vt., www.bulb.com, to get the creative juices flowing.

One last showdown for Sun, Rebels Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For two weeks in a row, the strong leg and sure hands of Steven Shott helped the Okanagan Sun subdue the Victoria Rebels. Now, the versatile 20-year-old and his teammates will look complete the hat-trick against the Rebels this Sunday at the Apple Bowl as the teams meet one final time in the opening round of the BCFC playoffs. “It’s tough when you play the same team three times in a row,” said Shott, the Sun kicker who also plays at receiver and occasionally at defensive back. “We’ve beaten (the Rebels) solidly the last two times, but we can’t be complacent because of that. You never know what’s going to happen, so you have to come out hard like you would in any game. It should be a good game.” Kick off for the semifinal this Sunday at the Apple Bowl is 1 p.m. The winner will battle the winner of the Vancouver Island Raiders-Surrey Rams
Rockets look to break the ice
Steven Shott tilt in the BCFC final Oct. 17. As the Sun routed the Rebels 50-15 last Sunday to close the regular season in first place at 9-1, Shott enjoyed the defining game of his junior career. The Carson Graham product booted three field goals, including a Canadian Junior Football League record 57-yarder late in the fourth quarter that bounced off the crossbar and through. In the process, Shott established a new singleseason team record for points with 132. And just for good measure, Shott caught a pair of touchdown passes, including an electrifying 88-yarder from Bobby Davis in the fourth quarWarren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

SUN LINEBACKER Darcy Whittaker wraps up Victoria’s Rob Caims on a kick return in BCFC action Sunday at the Apple Bowl. Head coach Peter McCall said Shott’s versatility, athleticism and competitive nature paid dividends for the Sun on Sunday. “He was mad at me, he wanted to kick a 53-yarder earlier in the game and we made him punt instead,” said McCall. “So, we knew if we got back in that situation we’d let him have a swing at it. It wouldn’t have been good from 58, but it was good
enough from 57, a new record, so that’s great. “Then to see him come in there and make those big catches, he hit some big punts, and played on the corner at the end of the game there,” added McCall. “You gotta use your athletes, especially down the stretch, you gotta put your best players on the field, and Steve’s one of them.” McCall fully expects his best athletes to be ready to go again on Sun-
day when the Rebels return for the conference semifinal. With a couple of key players returning to the lineup, including running back Sam Adu, McCall said the Rebels are likely to put up a better fight than they did in the regular season finale. Still, with the stands at the Apple Bowl full of Sun supporters, McCall expects his troops to take full advantage of the amicable surroundings.
“It’s so nice to play here, we were all grinning before the game to be on this turf here, with our fans behind us and having slept in our own beds, and walking down here to the park,” he said. “It’s where we want to be and that was our battle cry all year…we wanted to host through the playoffs and we’ve done that. “We finished first, but that’s all behind us now, it’s the playoffs. It’s all on the line next week.”
at best. In 2010-11, a familiar scenario has the WHL club off to a frustrating 0-3 start. One of the main culprits so far has been a quiet power play, with just two goals to show for 15 chances.
“What we have to get going sooner, rather than later, is our power play,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “If we would have been a little better in both games against TriCity with that part of our game, then maybe the outcomes could have
been different. We’ll be working on that a lot this week.” What the Rockets power play has been missing as much as anything is two of its most dangerous weapons. Captain and power play quarterback Tyson Barrie (ham-
string) has been out since the season opener, while forward Shane McColgan (tonsils) has yet to play. However, both have been skating with the team this week and are aiming for a possible return this Friday

Mustangs 4th at Ogopogo Chiefs host Osoyoos Friday The Immaculata Mustangs proved they belonged with the big boys at UBC Okanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ogopogo Senior Boys Volleyball Tournament. Playing primarily against AAA and AA competition, the A-level Mustangs finished in fourth place in the 28team field last weekend. The Mustangs went 2-1 in pool play, then defeated OKM and St. FX from Edmonton in the first two matches of the playoffs. Immaculata lost 2-0 to College Heights in the semifinal, then in the bronze medal final dropped a tough match three-set match (24-26, 25-13, 15-9) to Langley Fundamental. It was the second week in a row the Mustangs performed well against bigger schools, having taken 11th place at the very competitive MEI tourney in Sept. 24 and 25 in Abbotsford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nice to see them come through and play well, prove that last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament was no fluke,â&#x20AC;? said Mustangs coach Bob Mack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy with the way the boys have been playing so far.â&#x20AC;? Immaculata power hitter Brandon Jacobs was named to the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-star team.
The Kelowna Chiefs will look to rebound from a pair of home-ice losses over the weekend as they get set to host the Okanagan Division leaders this Friday night. At 7 p.m. at Rutland Arena, the Chiefs will take on the Osoyoos Coyotes in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action. The Coyotes, who have yet to lose a game in regulation, top the division with a 9-0-1-1 record. On Saturday night, Kelowna is home to the Kamloops Storm. The Chiefs (5-5) watched a fourgame winning streak end last Friday at home in a 2-1 loss to the Kimberley Dynamiters.

Owls rematch vs Handsworth
r t
The Kelowna Owls girls field hockey team will get a chance for a little revenge Friday morning when they defending provincial champs face Handsworth in the opening game of the Bridgeman Cup tournament in Victoria. KSS dropped a 1-0 decision to Handsworth on Saturday in Vancouver to finish in sixth spot at the UBC Crofton tournament. Handsworth scored a controversial goal that appeared to go untouched inside the shooting circle at the 12-minute mark of the second half. KSS had posted a 5-01 record prior to their final game vs Handsworth. The lone draw (2-2) came against Argyle and, with more goals scored, Argyle was awarded first in pool play, while the Owls took second. The Owls defeated
G.W. Graham 6-0, Collingwood 3-1, OKM 2-0, Crofton House 2-0, and Little Flower Academy 2-0. Player of the game honours went to Jonel

Heat women’s soccer team still unbeaten The UBC Okanagan Heat disposed of UNBC 5-0 Sunday in Prince
George to remain unbeaten in BCCAA women’s soccer action in 2010.
Alexa Kennedy held the hot hand, scoring three times in the fifth, 70th and
85th minutes. Kelsey Statterfield and Madeline Greig scored the other markers as the Heat pushed their mark to 5-0-2 with their fifth shutout win of the season. “It was a convincing win and we scored some nice goals,” said Heat head coach Claire Peterson. “We have some really good moments in our
play as the ball movement is quite sharp but I am still waiting for us to play a full 90 minutes like I know we can.” The Heat will battle the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack Saturday in Kamloops and 2 p.m. Sunday on the UBCO turf. In men’s action Sunday in P.G., the Timberwolves edged UBCO 2-1.
UNITED TO NATIONALS…
Kelowna United kick off the BMO national U16 boys soccer championship today in Vaughn, Ont. At 11 a.m. Kelowna time, the B.C. champs will meet the Sherwood Parkdale Rangers from PEI. Play continues Thursday as United battle the St. John’s Soccer Club, before wrapping up prelim-
inary round play against Alberta on Saturday. The playoff round begins Sunday, with the gold medal final slated for Thanksgiving Monday. United won the B.C. U16 boys championship in July in Kamloops, defeating the Surrey Guildford Selects 2-1 in the title game.

It was a classic case of a captain leading by example. Alex Grieve registered nine points over the weekend to lead the Westside Warriors to back-toback B.C. Hockey League wins on home ice. The Calgary product had a goal and four assists Saturday at LePage as the Warriors drubbed the Trail Smoke Eaters 9-1. On Sunday, Grieve, 20, tallied a hat-trick and one assist as Westside downed the Cowichan Valley Capitals 5-2. Grieve now has four goals and 15 points on the season to lead the Warriors in scoring and has been named the BCHL’s player of the week. The 14-goal weekend outburst by the team also

fensive funk which saw them averaging just 2 1/2
goals through their first eight games. Kyle Singleton and Dru Morrison scored twice each in the win over the Caps, while Grayson Downing chipped in with a goal and two assists. Sunday’s game also featured goalie Kevin Boyle’s first win of the season after four losses to start the year. The victories push the Warriors season record to 5-4-1-0 as they prepare for a weekend home-andaway set against the defending national junior A champions. The Warriors and Vipers will meet Friday at Royal LePage Place, then again Saturday for the rematch at Wesbild Centre in Vernon.

Loffler next to unstoppable in high school football action Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Coaches, teammates and opposing players are accustomed to seeing Taylor Loffler do some pretty amazing things on the football field. But few performances to date by the 6-foot-4 Kelowna Owls’ quarterback can rival Friday night’s exploits at the Apple Bowl. Loffler scored six touchdowns and passed for another as KSS wrapped up its B.C. high school football exhibition season with a 49-28 win over the New Westminster Hyacks. With the score 36-28 Owls in the fourth quarter and the outcome still in question, Loffler tore off back-to-back touchdowns runs of 63 and 72 yards to put the game out of reach. He also scored on runs of one, 31, one and six yards, and hit Brook Blackmore with a 60-yard screen pass for the other TD. Loffler finished the night with 206 yards rushing and was 13-for-17 in passing for 259 yards Nothing Loffler does anymore seems to surprise KSS head coach Roy Anderson. “Not really,” Anderson said with a laugh. “You get to so used to seeting him make big plays, I didn’t realize until I saw the stats just how big of a night he had. I don’t know rwhether he’s getting better with each game, but he sure isn’t going backwards. He’s such an outstanding player, you come to expect those things from him all the time.” Loffler, who is headed for Boise State next season, leads the province in both passing yardage (1,045) and in rushing (483) as the Owls posted a 4-1 preseason mark. t And Loffler isn’t the only Owl putting up big numbers. Sam Davies leads the province in rerceiving with 16 catches for 434 yards. The Grade 11 receiver, who is also the back-up to Loffler at QB, had five catches Friday for 113 yards. On defense Cole Mosychuk had 12 tackles, while Loffler added nine. The Owls, who are heavily favoured to win the Okanagan AAA Conference, will get the regular season started this Friday when they travel to Salmon Arm to battle the Golds. t
BOUCHERIE V TWEEDSMUIR
The Mt. Boucherie Bears overcame a 14-point half-time deficit
to get past Lord Tweedsmuir 26-24 Friday in Surrey. Down 24-20 with four minutes to play, the Bears defense came up big as linebacker Patrick Lynch forced a fumble and Spencer Lenarcic made the recovery in Tweedsmuir ter-
ritory. Josh Fender later took it in for the touchdown as the Bears moved ahead to stay. Fender, the clubs backup QB and starting tight end, was pressed into service at tailback after starter Mikhail Maloff was injured on the game’s first
play. Running backs Ryan Kraeker and Matt Meerdink didn’t make the trip, along with receiver Ryan Urlacher as Boucherie was forced to improvise on offense. Wes Geisler scored Boucherie’s lone TD of
the opening half as the Bears trailed 21-7. In the second half, John Cochrane hit Tomas Lammers with a TD pass to make it 21-13. Spencer Hipfner’s interception set up another Bears major in the fourth quarter as the Bears
pushed their exhibition record to 3-0. The Bears will visit Notre Dame Friday afternoon for their final preseason game.

night in Vancouver. Despite the Rockets’ winless beginning, Huska and his staff have been encouraged with their club’s effort over the last two games. Two strong periods in a 4-3 loss to the Americans last Wednesday were followed by 60 solid minutes on Friday night in a 1-0 loss in Kennewick, as the Rockets out shot Tri-City 34-26. “Our effort and work ethic, especially in our last game, was very good for all three periods,” said Huska. “I thought we deserved to at least get a point. It’s a matter of getting a consistent work ethic every night and, if the players do that, then the results will come. It’s beginning to get ingrained in their heads that that’s the way we need to play.” In the Giants this Friday, the Rockets will face a team that has undergone a number of changes in the off season, particularly on defense. Up front, Vancouver (3-3) is led by veterans Craig Cunningham, Brendan Gallagher and James Henry. “They’re a bit of a different team in terms of personnel, but they’ll be the same in how hard they play,” said Huska. “They’re a very hardworking team, they have a dangerous power play, and in their building they’re a momentum-type team that can feed off the crowd. They’re always tough games.” The Rockets will play three games in three nights this weekend as they visit Vancouver Friday, host the Prince Albert Raiders Saturday, 7 p.m. at Prospera Place, then head to Everett to play the ‘Tips on Sunday night. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Who needs financial reality check?
W
hen the head of the Bank of Canada is begging the average Canadian to stop taking on more debt, should we be listening? BOC governor Mark Carney warned last week that the debt-to-asset ratio of Canadian households is at its highest point in two decades. We take on debt to finance our homes, cars, appliances, televisions and lifestyles. Carney paints a picture of us as suckers for the easy payment
plan. Why work to save when you can have the thing that you want right now? This may well be an accurate picture for some. Who can say whether the plague of poorly-driven Escalades and Cayennes that make Kelowna’s streets a danger zone are owned or merely financed? Do we really need that 52 inch LCD screen to achieve the happiness we feel we deserve in life? Where the shortsightedness of Carney’s vision makes its appearance is in those who turn to

credit to provide for needs instead of wants. A home for their family. A vehicle to get to work and back safely. While the economy is improving, Okanagan real estate is still prohibitively expensive for many. Assuming large debt is commonplace for people to make that leap into the market. Will you live with your children in your parents’ basement, or take on a backbreaking mortgage? Will you sell your future to an auto finance company, or
risk death in a run-down beater with no air bags? Running at a deficit is a poor financial practice. The average Canadian is probably quite aware of this as they sign their life away for a home or a car. Our debt may be necessary for the outrageouslypriced tools to survive this modern life. With a government still running a substantial deficit of its own, it’s questionable who needs to be more on top of what they spend.

Poverty a key theme at UBCM’s opulent Whistler venue WHISTLER— The glass-and-cedar mansions of B.C.’s Olympic playground sparkled in the sun as local government leaders arrived for their annual date with the premier. They swung off the new Sea-to-Sky Highway to full hotels, packed restaurants, designer shops, strolling international tourists and lavish government and corporate receptions. This display of wealth and privilege offered quite a culture shock for small-town delegates who make up the majority at the
Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. So it was interesting to see poverty emerge as the unofficial theme this year. I happened to Tom be the only reporter Fletcher in the room as delegates questioned cabinet ministers on building local economies. The first question, tossed out as an icebreaker, was about B.C.’s minimum wage, frozen at $8 an hour since Gordon Campbell imposed his market philosophy on the province in 2001. Labour Minister Murray Coell’s admission that it’s
VICTORIA VIEWS
almost time to raise it, caused a feeding frenzy by the city media, bored as they are with small resource towns and their hard-luck stories. Coell tried to skate backwards when TV cameras cornered him the next day, but his original point stood. The B.C. Liberals long ago eliminated income tax and medical premiums for low-wage workers, and even subsidize their rent, but the cost of living keeps rising. It appears B.C. will soon grudgingly join Newfoundland and Nunavut at $10 an hour. Lost in all this were the real subjects of the economic panel, such as a plea for provincial help to keep farms viable. Nobody talks about an
$8 minimum wage for farms, corner stores or other seven-day-a-week family businesses, where it’s mostly a theory. As expected, the most divisive issue at this year’s convention was a proposed shift to four-year terms for councils. Here again, a canyon separates urban and rural, rich and poor. A Vancouver councillor now makes $61,674 a year, plus expenses for things like the UBCM convention. Not bad for a part-time job. In B.C.’s smallest towns, when you calculate the actual hours for councillors you find another group that doesn’t make even Campbell’s miserly minimum wage.
It was these folks who voted down the idea of four-year terms. Three years is enough of a commitment. The poor were thrust into the spotlight again when Campbell took the stage for the traditional conventionclosing speech. After a fond look back at the Olympics, he imagined himself and Finance Minister Colin Hansen as a figure skating pair for a little selfdeprecating humour about the hasty introduction of the harmonized sales tax. With the federal clock ticking, “we rushed out, and we threw the See UBCM A25

Teachers deserve a day of acknowledgment To the editor: Tuesday, Oct. 5 was World Teachers’ Day and I want to express my gratitude to B.C.’s teachers. As I’ve travelled the province, I have met many students and adults who have told me wonderful stories about the great teachers they have had, and the tremendous difference those teachers have made in their lives. As well, I have met teachers who have inspired me with their ideas, creativity and caring, and made me want to work with them to make our excellent education system even better. In B.C., we are fortunate to have teach-

ers who are not only shaping a generation of learners, but who also provide us with leadership. In so many respects, teachers help parents and communities understand how to be mentors and coaches for the young people who will, in turn, be our future leaders. Teachers are at the heart of our classrooms and every day through their work they show us how to put students first. As we strive to personalize learning for every child so that they are prepared to thrive in the 21st century, our skilled and dedicated teachers will always be central to the learning
experience of students and their families. This year, World Teacher’s Day is being celebrated with the song, You Have Made a Difference. Teachers continue to make a difference, one child at a time, and I encourage everyone to join me in honouring the energy and enthusiasm they bring to their students each day. Please take a moment to thank a teacher. Margaret MacDiarmid, Minister of Education, Government of British Columbia

completion. The activities put on during the week are exceptional—T-shirt painting, crafts and the finale with an Ali Kazam Magic show. I once asked if there was a fee, and was told they would not charge money in case a child would be excluded. I then found out that, due to cutbacks, it is always questionable
if this program will be funded the following summer. Donations are taken, but never advertised. What a great way to support our community as young and old can all benefit by a little reading. Candace Kemper, Kelowna

W ORGANIC CELEBRATION
Another success for Organic Okanagan Festival To the editor: The Okanagan Valley feedback is in and the fifth annual Organic Okanagan Festival was a phenomenal success. Well over 1,000 people enjoyed the day long celebration, with 1,800 pounds of food, as well as cash donations, raised for the Kelowna Community Food Bank. Fifty-two Okanagan businesses and organizations participated in the event, hosted for the fifth consecutive year at Kelowna’s certified organic winery, Summerhill Pyramid Winery.
Key highlights from the 2010 OOF: • The dedicated Green Police team maintained the festival waste reduction stations all day and diverted 85 per cent of total festival waste from the landfill. • Entertainment highlights included fabulous local music • The second annual consignment fashion show and • Provocative food for thought from the Pyramid lectures and films. The Okanagan Greens Society expresses
a heartfelt thank you to the entire Okanagan community and all the participating sponsors, businesses and volunteers for their continued, amazing support. Stay tuned for an announcement of the sixth annual Organic Okanagan Festival date, to be held in September 2011. Reinstating festival bus shuttles and other expansion measures are already being planned for next year to alleviate parking pressures. Wendy Wright, Okanagan Greens Society, Kelowna

Let’s invest in B.C.’s green energy future To the editor: On a recent trip to Whistler I discovered, much to my delight, that they are actually generating their own clean energy using run-of-river technology with a minimal environmental impact.
Green projects are not only way better for the environment, they are also extremely effective and can be a huge source of revenue. Sound too good to be true? Countries all over Europe have been steadi-
ly switching over to green energy sources like runof-river and wind turbines for decades. And Whistler is proving that green energy is not out of reach for us. In fact, B.C. is perfectly positioned to lead the world in green energy
production. The vast natural landscape of B.C. and the resources it provides are a gift that we must utilize as well as care for—not only for us but for countless future generations. It’s time to follow the ex-

Campbell tests HST story Express yourself UBCM from A24
HST up in the air, and we promptly fell on our faces,” Campbell said. “Well, we soldiered on with the program. Some were saying that the only thing we had really mastered was the death spiral.” Then he got serious. He didn’t plot the HST before the election. He didn’t lie, but he accepts now that many people
will never believe it. Then Campbell threw his latest pitch in a longshot bid to save the HST and his government via referendum next fall. The HST helps the poor. Tax rebates for more than a million low-income people add up to $230 a year for a single senior, or $920 a year for a low-income family of four. Campbell did not return to the argument that
the HST helps resource industries recover and grow. It’s too vague for people intent on checking their restaurant bills. He also knows the media are bored by economics, just as they are the sob stories of smalltown unemployment.

‘Grandson’ cam targets seniors Seniors are still being targeted with what is being called the “grandson” scam. But police say seniors are getting wise to the fraud. “Police had warned the public earlier about this particular scam and it
seems that people are paying attention,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The scam revolves around a phone call from someone pretending to be the victim’s grandson, and that the phony grandson needs money to bail him-
self out of jail, or gives another fake story to ask for money. After asking a few questions, however, the victims soon realize that the call is a scam and hang up. Unfortunately, enough people have fallen for the story to make it lucrative
enough to continue. “If you get a call like this, don’t be fooled by it, just hang up,” said Holmes. “If you have a grandson(s), call him/ them up just to be sure. It’s a good reason to stay in touch with family.”

Robert Smithson turn until she had obtained a physician’s clearance to do so. McLean later returned to work but, soon after, her employment was terminated resulting in a complaint pursuant to the Ontario Human Rights Code. DY 4 acknowledged it thought McLean was suffering from inactive tuberculosis at the time of the termination of her employment. DY 4’s position was (in part) that McLean was dismissed because she came in to work thinking that she had tuberculosis, with a reckless disregard for the health and safety of others. The twist in this case was that McLean had never actually contracted inactive tuberculosis. But, as a result of a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings, McLean incorrectly believed that she suffered from the condition. The fact that McLean never suffered from the condition didn’t serve as a get-out-of-jail-free card for DY 4. The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal found that “decision-makers at all levels of the respondent corporation were “…aware that the applicant might have inactive TB at the time the decision was made to fire” her. The tribunal concluded that at least one reason for the employer’s decision to terminate McLean’s employment was its concern that she would need time away from work during a very busy See Smithson B4

t may seem odd that an employer can discriminate against an employee based on a mental or physical disability when the employee doesn’t actually have a disability. It is, however, a legal concept which seems to make good sense in practice. In effect, an employer who deals with an employee as if he or she suffers from a disability is treated, for the purposes of human rights law, as it would be if the employee does have a disability (even if he or she doesn’t). Though it may be difficult to imagine why an employer would do that, this isn’t a particularly rare occurrence. This concept has perhaps arisen most frequently in relation to mandatory drug testing imposed on employees. Such drug testing policies effectively treat employees as if they are drug dependent (which is a disability) and are likely to attend at work in an impaired state. The majority of employees are, of course, not addicted to drugs. But, by imposition of a mandatory drug testing policy, the employer presumes, or perceives, them to be addicted. A recent example of a human rights tribunal decision in which the “perceived disability” doctrine was applied occurred in Ontario. Jean McLean was an employee of a high-tech company called DY 4 Systems Inc. McLean informed her employer that she had contracted inactive tuberculosis (also called TB infection). Apparently, inactive tuberculosis isn’t as bad as it might sound as it is an asymptomatic, curable condition. The employer sent McLean home after hearing about her condition, instructing her not to re-

Dealing with an estate can be complex
Hearing clinic changes name
A
ccording to the dictionary, an estate is the property or everything that you own. So what happens on death is that the decedent’s property is transferred to an estate until all the taxes have been paid and the requirements of the will have been fulfilled. Another name for this is a trust, as a testamentary trust is created upon death. There can be significant taxes when someone dies, so it is advisable for people who have assets to at least have a will and do some estate planning to minimize taxes on death, or perhaps increase the taxes on death so that the taxes to the beneficiaries may be minimized. There are several other reasons to estate plan such as reducing probate taxes, protect the assets from creditors and to simply organize the affairs before death. Whatever the reason, to create an effective estate plan, an estate planning team is required. The team consists of an accountant, a lawyer, a tax advisor, an insurance advisor, an investment advisor or financial plan-
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka ner, a banker and possibly even a certified business valuator. The estate also needs an executor or executrix, who has the responsibility to distribute the assets and file the various tax returns once the owner of the estate is deceased. One member of the team should be the estate planner, who’s responsibility will be to determine where the client is today, to reorganize the present into a better structure and to provide a plan and procedure to implement goals set for the future. This person could also become the executor or executrix due to their knowledge of the decedent’s affairs. There are usually five steps in the estate planning process: 1. Gather information—List the assets that are owned currently or may be owned in the future either by way of purchase or by inheritance.
the plan. 3. Identify potential obstacles and risks to the plan—Items such as creditors, marital separation, taxation, possibility of contesting will, are minor children involved, or are there any health issues that may lead to incapacity 4. Plan implementation—Depending on the complexity of the estate, the plan may have several implementation dates and phases. It is important that there is also a ‘back door’ to unwind the plan if things do not work out. There should be legal documentation for each phase. This documentation should indicate the location of the assets, financial records and the Will. If any changes are made to the plan, the Will must also be updated. If the person has a small business, it is very important that the person also have a Will because upon death, all bank accounts will be frozen. 5. Ongoing monitoring and fine tuning—The estate plan should be reviewed on a yearly basis to determine if the goals are still being met and in the case of any changes to the income tax act or other acts that might af-
Additional items to note on the list are the estimated current fair market value, the original cost, or adjusted cost, when and how the asset was acquired, any annual net income generated by the asset, if the asset is likely to appreciate in value and an estimate of how much, and finally, if shares are owned, the paid up capital value of the shares. List any present, future

or possible creditors that may have claims against the assets that may stall the transfer of the assets to beneficiaries. List the names, locations, ages, incomes, net worth, lifestyle, marital status, SINs, children of all heirs. 2. Goal setting and preliminary planning —Document realistic achievable goals that are fairly specific and balance any conflicting goals of
fect the plan. The mechanics of the tax returns required when a person dies are quite complex. There is firstly the terminal return, the rights and things return (optional), and the business return (optional). If there is the requirement for probate or other issues with the estate, the estate’s assets will need to be transferred into a trust and a trust return will need to be prepared every year until the trust is dissolved which is what happens when the assets are distributed to the beneficiaries. If the trust was created upon death or through the terms of a will individual tax rates apply. There are a number of tax elections that can be made upon death that need to be taken into consideration when filing the final tax returns. Finally when all taxes have been paid and all assets have been distributed, the executor or executrix of an estate can file for a clearance certificate, on both the individual and the estate.

Vision is a map to business success
T
his column is directed primarily at small- to medium-sized organizations, with leaders who are directly responsible for creating the direction and future goals of the business. These individuals at the helm may or may not own the business but they have a clear, vested interest in the success of the organization. How many of you can state, in simple language, your vision of the future, in business terms? When was the last time that you stepped back and gave some serious thinking time to whether or not your business is on the right track? Going through the exercise of envisioning a future ideal for your business is a valuable one. I offer my own interpretation of the familiar quote “if you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there?” Consider what is involved when you take a long road trip. There is a lot of planning that needs to be done in advance and everyone who will be traveling together has their own
WORK LIFE
Laurie Mills part to play in making the trip a success. First, a final destination is agreed upon and a timeline set up. Then a trip route is laid out, typically with well chosen stops along the way that allow you to appreciate how far you’ve travelled and gauge how far you’ve yet to go. Before you head out you also need to make sure that you have all the supplies and resources you will need. All of this upfront work is designed to make sure everyone is well prepared for whatever may happen along your journey. Sometimes your original route has been so well planned out that everything goes smoothly. Other times you either need or want to modify it because other options— or obstacles—have come up along the way. Now let’s consid-
er this same strategy in a work setting. Business owners or senior managers are responsible for choosing the destination for the organization. They are in the driver’s seat, so to speak, but they rely heavily on others to help them reach their goals. A vision statement is a way for leaders to articulate their hopes and dreams for the organization. Hopefully these are aligned with economic realities and include practical business plans.
‘‘
ALL OF THIS UPFRONT WORK IS DESIGNED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS WELL PREPARED.
Turning a clear vision into reality also requires a management approach that engages employees and motivates them to get on the bus. When people can see the direction forward and they trust their leaders to guide them there safely, they are more
likely to be cooperatives participants along the journey. The ongoing challenge is to make that vision come alive for your employees. A strong leader is able to translate that picture of success into day to day work activities so that people find meaning in their work. An overall vision statement for the organization can be a valuable guide that directs work activities toward common goals. It makes practical sense then to reassess that vision once in awhile to make sure it is still viable. It would be dangerous to embark on a long road trip without making sure your eyesight was clear enough for you to see the road ahead. When was the last time you checked your organization’s vision?

W ENTREPRENEURS
Family enterprise a significant business, employment creator
W
hile flying into Saskatoon last week to visit family, I opened a copy of the Globe and Mail and saw an entire page in the paper’s special information feature about family enterprise. It included an article written by a friend, Dan Muzyka, dean of business at UBC’s Sauder School of Business. I thought it would be appropriate to share some thoughts this week about the wonderment of family enterprise when it is considered to make up at least 80 per cent of businesses and 50 to 60 per cent of employment worldwide. We needn’t look very far in the Okanagan to see successful family tales— Cedar Creek Winery, Quailsgate Winery, Grey Monk, Flightcraft, Cherry Hill Coffee Co. and the list goes on. These ventures produce our economic landscape in large measure and this is only a few of the many in this area. From the early writings of the entrepreneurship academic research-
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young ers until the present day, much of the research on entrepreneurship has focused on answering two questions—who is an entrepreneur and what does an entrepreneur need to start a successful venture? Little theorizing and research seems to have been done to explore what happens to entrepreneurs after they build a successful enterprise. Indeed, the assumption seems to be that once a new enterprise is viable, the entrepreneur’s subsequent career path ceases to be of interest since it may not focus on traditional entrepreneurial activities. Family venture researchers, on the other hand, have largely been interested in what hap-
pens to entrepreneurs near the end of their working lives. The problem of succession—transferring leadership and ownership to the next generation of family members—has captivated most of the research interest. I remember sitting in a government boardroom many years ago and hearing the dismal national statistic concerning Canada’s track record for succession planning and exit strategies and wondering how can that be? The reason for such interest, I have been told, may stem from the fact that succession is a very troublesome problem for entrepreneurs and the literature would tell us that in numerous high-profile cases, such as the Dupont and Ford families to name two of significance, the succession issue deeply affected the families and their business. It has been said that family businesses provide a stabilizing influence, perform very well and such families have a great
sense of loyalty toward their employees Lots of research in this particular field today has helped the leaders of such family-enterprises cope and steer their ships responsibly and successfully. The relationship of the entrepreneur’s family to their new enterprise can be a significant factor determining the venture’s success or failure. Often, the initial startup capital comes from family and personal assets. Thus, the family’s support is a critical factor. An entrepreneurial career is extremely demanding, fraught with long hours and high stress. balancing the needs of both family and the business venture can often be not an easy task for the average entrepreneur. But, the dynamics have displayed that ultimate achievement is a driving force behind most family-related entrepreneurial outcomes. Family firms can truly enjoy substantial longevity. Ironically, even though they create busi-
ness and employment successes, family enterprise is sometimes imperiled by the very process that is essential to their longevity. Using a concept of managerial discretion as a starting point, we can quickly also use a human agency lens to introduce the construct of successor discretion as a factor that seems to hinder the family business succession process. Most of the literature I have read over the years in this entrepreneurial sub-set, point to exit strategies and succession as being a predominant hurdle that family ventures must overcome in their journey to success. While important in general, successor discretion is positioned as a particularly relevant factor for productively managing organizational renewal in family businesses. Look at a successful family enterprise model that reportedly has worked and assisted many family enterprises to succeed and stay the course of progress.
Today, family business ownership may consist of one group and management of another group. At times, family enterprises may be troubled by uncertainty over estate and wealth distribution planning as I have mentioned earlier in this column. All in all, dear readers, the key to this family enterprise model working well is balance. Because the family enterprise has such strong gravitational pull for the families who populate it, they may, at times, find their lives out of balance. However, the good news is that when these three dynamics are played out effectively, family enterprises may succeed and contribute admirably to our provincial and Canadian economies and thus, are to be saluted and admired by all. Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership coach, consultant, educator and founder of Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society
This model consists of “balancing” three distinct family dynamics, family and interpersonal, management and operations, wealth and ownership. Family and interpersonal: The base is the family enterprise “system,” i.e. the interpersonal relations between family members and the business family team. These people must communicate, lead, follow, be motivated and handle victory, defeat, challenges and management very effectively for the venture. Management and operations: This critical dynamic consists of the chain of authority, welldefined roles and responsibilities, the administrative functions, delivery of products and services, marketing and sales, customer service information technologies and the other functional areas that make the venture wheels go forward. Wealth and ownership: This closely held dynamic the literature tells us deal of course with money and power.

It’s time the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra found a sustainable funding base within the community rather than relying on government funds, the symphony’s management said Tuesday. In a press conference to unveil this season’s program and formally introduce new general manager Scott Wilson, music director Rosemary Thomson said the orchestra’s new management team will try to build a social scene of patrons who can provide consistent, sustainable funding for the OSO, now entering its 51st season. “We will not ignore government sources, but must reduce our reliance on them,” Thomson said, stressing the focus will be

New GM to lead OSO to greener fields on developing local support. In August, the OSO learned it would receive only 25 per cent of its B.C. Arts Council grant, thanks to the latest round of funding cuts. With only $7,600 to work with, from the usual $30,0000 grant, it meant an ugly reality for the small group of professional musicians who
had already seen funding cuts earlier in the year. But by Tuesday morning, the new manager was talking patron participation and vowing to navigate the coming years of fiscal restraint by encouraging self-reliance. Wilson said he would see to it the musicians play for another 100 years as Thomson of-

fered a brief overview of the man so accomplished there’s a good chance he will live up to the optimistic claims. Graduating Magna cum Laude from the Julliard School in New York, Thomson said the orchestra’s new manager joined the horn section of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra straight out of school
and founded a wine business on the side, early on in his career. Wilson eventually worked into TSO management, staying with the organization for 28 years, until he joined the OSO in the last couple of weeks. In his first official words to his new audience, Wilson committed to building a social club
around his new orchestra, which could presumably offer some of that community support the OSO intends to rely on. And there will be plenty for the social club to connect with in the coming season. UBC faculty and leading violinist James Wood is on the bill, as is jazz improviser Mike Herriott.
This Christmas, the OSO will do its rendition of The Snowman, as adapted to a musical score for the animated television show which airs every season on English TV. CBC Daybreak host Marion Barschel will narrate with local Jazz Café visionary Anna Jacyszyn on vocals and Stu Goldberg on piano. The OSO plans to expand its family program and will be putting more focus on schools program as well. And for the traditionalists in the crowd, Thomson will pull out Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, offering a more drawn out version of the four most famous notes in orchestral music.

Linkin Park is maturing as a band as shown by A Thousand Suns, their ninth studio album as produced by Rick Rubin. There isn’t as much rap/rock this time out where Linkin Park seem to be stretching out as an alt-progressive rock band. There is a studied artiness about some of these new tunes such as the tech-rock of the title track, the cinematic rock of Robot Boy, the quasi-dub of Waiting For The End and a subtle industrial buzz that permeates their newest hit single, The Catalyst. Throughout these songs Linkin Park are quite dire and foreboding except for the closing song of redemption titled
Bruce Mitchell The Messenger and its “angel voice…love keeps us kind.” I can never have claimed to be a big Linkin Park fan but A Thousand Suns bears repeated listening with its interesting dialogue clips from Robert Oppenhiemer, the chief architect of the making of the first atomic bomb (and hence the CD title) and Dr. Martin Luther King.

I am told that the musical act called Ash Koley is indeed a duo of Phil Deschambault and the Winnipeg lass named—Ash Koley. Name riddles aside, this debut nine-track mini album is an absolute delight and announces, I believe, a major new talent on the Canadian scene. And Ash Koley is poised to make a splash
with some added good fortune. The song Brighter At Night is this week’s feature single in iTunes and the closing song Sheep In Wolves Clothing will be featured on the new episode of Grey’s Anatomy tomorrow. But every song on Inventions is a pop gem with the Supertramplike electric piano intro of Brighter At Night, the retro new wave of Don’t Let Your Feet Touch The Ground (Bangles meet Katrina & The Waves) and the distaff Paul Simon dynamics of Mary The Inventor.

Right now I hear TKWCs as a one-trick pony with gang chant vocals for large arena’s (no wonder Hedley hired them to warm up crowds) but the debut album they are working on with producer GGGarth Richardson and Matt Squire (Hedley, Katy Perry, 3OH!3, RHCPs) will show if they have the goods or not.

PEAK Performance Project comes to BreakOut West Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR
The 2010 PEAK Performance Project has taken the top 20 artists from around B.C. and put them through the wringer at boot camp, put their live performance to the test at weekly showcases in Vancouver’s Red Room and now the only thing standing between them and the announcement of the top three is BreakOut West in Kelowna Oct. 21 to 24. That’s right, all of the top 20 artists are going to be here, showcasing their talent and everything they’ve learned in the past few months. The first evening of the festival (Thursday, Oct. 21) will be dedicated solely to the PEAK performers and, just like any festival, there is a wide variety to suit any listener’s musical tastes. Another great perk about having the PEAK Performance Project present the Thursday night showcases is that they will also be showcasing the 2009 PEAK Performance Project winners and runners up—We Are the City and The Left, respectively. How great was it when our Kelowna boys from We Are the City not

only won the grand prize of $150,000 but were also named the top emerging artists in B.C.? The BreakOut West festival includes a few performances by local favourites We Are the City and the weekend will also feature them performing at the Western Canadian Music Awards ceremony at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 24. We Are the City will be joining 2010 PEAK Performers Yes Nice, Christina Maria and Behind Sapphire at Cush on the Thursday evening starting at 7:30. The Streaming Café
will be featuring three amazing singer/songwriters: Christopher Arruda, Ben Sigston and Adaline. 41st and Home, Parlour Steps, Aidan Knight and Said the Whale will be completing the lineup at Habitat while right next door at Gotcha’s, solo artists Greg Sczebel, Kuba Oms and Kyprios will all be lighting up the stage. Doc Willoughby’s will host yet another batch of singer/songwriters (there was no shortage of them in this year’s PEAK Performance Project). Jess Hill will kick off the night followed by Steph Macpherson, Bohdi Jones and Debra-Jean.
Yes Nice The final and quite possibly the most rocking venue for Thursday night, is O’Flannigans which will feature YUCA, The Left (2009 PPP runners up), Acres of Lions and Vince Vacarro. Although most artists will perform twice throughout the festival, the PEAK Performance artists will only be featured on the Thursday night (with a few excep-

everyone else is trying to imitate. This disc still managed to open in Canada’s top 20 but we’ll have to wait to see if any song snags some airplay.
Old Goo Goo Dolls fans will enjoy this but there seems a distinct lack of innovation. C+ bwcmitchell@shaw.ca

Do you have things at home thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are just too good to wasteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;baby food jars, extra buttons, leftover egg cartons? If so, start gathering them up and bring them to the inaugural ReUse Round-up. The regional waste reduction office, in partnership with the Kelowna Art Gallery, is inviting you to bring your unwanted household items to the round-up on Sunday, Oct. 24 at the Kelowna Art Gallery, 1315 Water Street from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This round-up is a one-day community event where everyday items are collected and passed on to charities, non-profit groups, artisans and afterschool groups to reuse and repurpose. In conjunction with this event, the art gallery will host a special Family Sundays project called Creative Collections. Participants of all ages are invited to drop by the gallery between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to create a work of art out of recycled material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a way for you to reduce your waste and give your unwanted stuff to someone who needs it, said Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitator with the regional district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus, your donations will enhance the craft, sport, art and other programs provided by the many groups and organizations in our community that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t otherwise have easy access to these materials.â&#x20AC;? Stewart said the list of requested items is long and varied but includes everyday items that we all have laying around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some groups have asked us for things like old greeting cards or juice discs, wool and yarn, fabric, Lego pieces, puzzles, magnets, and the list goes on. Believe it or not, these are not worthless items but valuable resources that can be reused, she said. Only items that have been requested will be accepted. For a list of requested items, go to www.regionaldistrict.com and click on the ReUse icon, or call the regional waste reduction office at 250-469-6250.
