▼ BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Now is the time to prepare for future growth
Jennifer Smith
STAFF REPORTER
Invest in your business while interest rates are low and your competitors have lulled themselves into a false sense of security, the Business Development Bank of Canada’s president and CEO told the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce Monday. Kicking off small business week, Jean-René Halde gave those in attendance at the monthly chamber luncheon a smart investment breakdown for those in business for themselves. “Why not capitalize on the fact that maybe some of your competitors are asleep at the wheel?” he asked, after pointing out the nation’s credit rating, education level and the relative prosperity of most citizens may very well wane in years to come though many business leaders have forgotten it’s possible. In the Okanagan, 96 per cent of businesses employ 50 people or fewer and 89 per cent have fewer than 20 employees. Halde’s practical advice for the audience boiled down to a back-to-basics pitch aimed at inspiring business leaders to initiate change now before it’s too late. As such, he homed in on three key areas where businesses tend to stagnate—investment in equipment, people and the latest technology. North Vancouver entrepreneur Chris O’Donohue, the founder of Great Canadian Landscaping, is one who invested in technology wisely, he said. By putting a cell phone in each of his employee’s hands, O’Donohue was able to use a portable clockin mechanism for iPhones that he estimates saves $120,000 annually in time lost to employees paid for time that was not worked. And he also found bid estimator software to make sure bids accurately accounted for all costs to continue growing his business. Brian Klaponski, president and CEO of CARTE International Inc., a manufacturer of small power and specialty transformers, put his investment into people, Halde said. He built an incentive program “based on trust and fairness” and began asking every employee to help design more efficient manufacturing systems. See Growth A6

▼ TANNING BEDS
Heat turned off on fake bronzing for teens Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Teenagers drawn to the inimitable bronze provided through tanning beds will have to go a few shades whiter, due to legislation that came into effect Monday. Tanning salons must post signs informing the public they won’t serve anyone under the age of 18 as of Monday. If they fail to keep the
teen-set out of their beds, they could face a $345 fine for each offence. “It’s pretty straightforward legislation for us, we’ve already been checking for ID,” said Steve Gilroy, of the Joint Tanning Association, which is based out of Kelowna. “Most of the salons knew about this when they announced in March, and a lot started to move toward the ban sometime in September.”
In addition to easy implementation, Gilroy doesn’t anticipate local businesses will feel much of a financial loss from restrictions. “Only about two to five per cent of sales are for those under 18, it’s not a big deal for us,” he said, noting many teens opt for spray tans anyway. “Our concern was that we were taking parental rights away when it came to the ban. Parents make
the same choice when they allow their (children) to go to the beach or sunny location, so why can’t they do that for an indoor tanning facility?” The industry also has concerns about the fact the government has failed to address the regulation of equipment used and the training standards of those who run machines. In particular, the government has failed to ban self-serve tanning salons
that use swipe card technology and allow clients their own access to tanning timers. The first “completely computer controlled” salon that’s open 24/7 is expected to be ready for business in Vancouver by the end of the year, and Gilroy says it’s possible that they’ll be headed to the local market in the

Groundwater licensing likely to be in a new provincial water act Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
B.C. is the only province in Canada that doesn’t licence groundwater, despite the fact its Water Act includes provision for it. And, according to environment ministry policy advisor Randy Cairns, public discussion about a new water act in the past few years indicates there is public support for groundwater licensing. Cairns was speaking to members of the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council about the history of provincial legislation surrounding water, and about the current process
to modernize it. The new act is to be called the Water Sustainability Act and it was to have been enacted this year, but it’s been held up by the public’s interest in continuing discussions on what’s being proposed before it’s passed into legislation, said Cairns. He expects the next step will be a discussion paper with more detail about what’s proposed for the new act, and a period for public input on those details before staff are directed to write the new legislation in legal language. That’s a lengthy process which he figures could take a year, so it’s
likely to be 2014 before a new act comes before the legislature for debate. If it includes more regulation of groundwater, there are a number of issues still to be resolved, he noted. For instance, how would the current 75,000 users fit into the legislation? Would all users be licensed, or just mediumsized and large or just large users? Likely, groundwater licensing would be similar to the current licensing of surface water and the two would be linked, he said. Currently, anyone can drill a well and begin to draw from underground
aquifers without charge, even though no one can draw water from a creek or lake without a permit from the provincial government, and regular fee payments. Seven policies have been identified as part of the framework of the new act: • protect stream health and aquatic environments • consider water in landuse decisions • regulate groundwater use • regulate during scarcity • improve security, water use efficiency and conservation • measure and report and • enable a range of governance approaches. This province’s current Water Act was brought in in 1909, with major revisions in 1925 when it was determined that the province owns the water resource; 1939 when regulations were brought in for acquisition of a water licence; 1960 when groundwater was added and environmental protec-

changes were made. In B.C. water rights
are based on FITFIR or First In Time, First In Right, so those with the oldest licences on a body of water take precedence over those with more recent licences, in times of scarcity. Licences are attached to properties, and when the property is sold, the water rights go with it, along with the obligations. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Teen murder trial
Lawyers are starting to sift through evidence that will be used when a local teen’s murder trial gets underway. The court process dealing with Ashlee Hyatt’s June 2, 2010 death started Monday, but the trial itself isn’t expected to begin until Oct. 24. First a judge will decide on the admissibility of some points of evidence, then a jury will be selected. Hyatt, 18, had gone to a friend’s house that she often frequented on San Clemente Avenue in Peachland when she allegedly got into a fatal altercation. The name of the accused is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

First dirt cut for new heart and surgical centre Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Construction just keeps on going at Kelowna General Hospital. And over the next few months there will be even more as one building comes down, another starts to go up. With shovel in hand, Health Minister Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid joined health and community representatives Friday, including local MLAs Norm Letnick and Steve Thomson, as well CORD chairman Robert Hobson, to celebrate the start of construction on the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre building at KGH. “This marks a milestone for health services here,” said MacDiarmid, noting the centre will be a regional facility, one used by cardiac patients from throughout the Interior. To make room for the new, three-storey, 14,000square-metre heart centre, the oldest building at the hospital—the Pandosy Building—is currently being demolished. Thomson, said the demolition was bittersweet for him as he was born in the Pandosy Building back when it was the main KGH structure. So
too was Hobson, a Kelowna city councillor and chairman of Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District board. The regional hospital district contributed $70 million of the $169.1 million cost of the new centre. “With the start of construction of the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre building, we are entering a new era of cardiac care here in the Interior,” said Thomson. “This new building will provide timely, life-saving therapies and surgeries to area residents who previously would have to have been transported to the coast.” When the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre building opens to patients in mid-2015, it will be the province’s fifth cardiac critical care centre and the first outside the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, meaning Interior patients won’t have to travel far from their families for cardiac care. The new building will provide a permanent location for cardiac-surgical services and programs at Kelowna General Hospital. The IHSC building will have state-of-the-art surgical facilities, a med-

POLITICIANS and dignitaries (left to right) Alan Linsley of Plenary Health; IHA board member Erwin Malzer; MLA Norm Letnick; B.C. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid; regional hospital district board chairman Robert Hobson; MLA Steve Thomson and KGH director of cardiac services Dr. Carol Laberge got together last Friday to shovel the first, ceremonial dirt at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Interior Health and Surgical Centre at Kelown a General Hospital. ical device reprocessing department, cardiac intensive care unit and postoperative recovery area. The total cost of the entire Interior Heart and Surgical Centre project— of which the centre building is one component—is $367 million. The project also includes the Dr. Walter Anderson KGH laboratory building, renovations to the existing Royal and Strathcona buildings and
“fit-outs” in the new Centennial building. Alan Linsley of Plenary Heath Group, the consortium designing, building and financing the IHSC building, said it’s design means the building will now have three floors instead of the originally envisioned four, costing $33 million less than originally estimated and will be built several months earlier than planned. And all that will be
done without sacrificing space inside. “Basically we will have a larger floor plate but essentially the same square footage,” he said. Interior Health entered into a fixed-price, performance-based agreement with Plenary Health to design, build, finance and maintain the surgical building for a term of 30 years which ends in 2043. The health ministry said all clinical health
services will be publicly funded and publicly provided in accordance with the Canada Health Act. The B.C. government has invested around $1.5 billion dollars in capital health care projects in the Interior since 2001, including the new Centennial Building at KGH, which opened in May, and the UBC faculty of medicine and Interior Health clinical academic campus at KGH.
Over the next few months the Pandosy Building will be torn down, a job that has already started. Hospital officials said they uncovered what was the main entrance to the hospital when the Pandosy Building was the main structure, and it was used as the backdrop for Friday’s ground-breaking ceremony. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Healthy turnout for bi-annual Kelowna Wellness Fair Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna cares about its health. That was the message organizers got after a successful weekend at the bi-annual Body and Wellness Fair at Parkinson Recreation Centre. Shara Mendoza, one of the event coordinators of the wellness fair, said the early indication was that numbers of both exhibitors and attendees were up from last year. “We have 60 exhibitors…we had to expand into a second room this year, so we’re excited about that,” said Mendoza. “It seems a little busier than last year. Last year we had about 2,000 people come through, we’re hoping for even more this year.” The event, which ran from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, featured booths representing spiritual, physical and mental health. One exhibitor, Susan Chepelsky, believes a healthy body and mind is a result of positive energy. She creates and sells orgone gener-

ators, which she calls, PEGS. According to her, the PEGS (positive energy generators) protect individuals against electromagnetic radiation from computers, cell phones and other electronics. “I also put symbols into them and set the intention of the symbols when I finish making a batch. I do a ceremony, setting the intention and empowering them even further,” said Chepelsky. Her PEGS are made of resin crystals and metal. She claims the generators draw in negative energy and transform it into positive energy. The West Kelowna web designer said those who are very sensitive to energy have noticed various health benefits from using her product. Other booths at the wellness fair focused on skin care, chiropractic adjustments, organic food, cardiac risk assessment, religion, weight loss and water.

Cody Wengenmayr’s trial for impaired driving causing death came to a close Friday, with defence lawyer David Johnson arguing that the fatal crash was caused by “recklessness� on the part of Trey Alphonse’s mother, Iris. She was jaywalking across six lanes of Harvey Avenue, pulling Trey behind her, late Aug. 30, 2010, when Wengenmayr hit them.

And, before that he’d only shared in a case of beer between three people. Crown counsel Dave Ruse offered his closing statements two days prior, and said while Alphonse put her son in harm’s way, drivers should be able to account for errant behaviour. If Wengenmayr wasn’t drinking, he said, he would have reacted better. The judge’s decision on the six charges Wengenmayr is facing is expected Nov. 30.

She was pushed into the grass on the hotel side of the highway, and sustained a broken leg. Trey, however, was hit squarely and thrown a fair distance down the road ahead, where he died. It’s a situation that Johnson said can only be attributed to his mother’s negligence, as there’s no way that Wengenmayr could have expected her to be dashing across the road in the middle of the night. The nearest crosswalk was a short walk away, witnesses noted, and it was dark when the impact occurred. He also claimed that Wengenmayr wasn’t drunk at the time of the collision.

Katie Spencer-Lim was one of the main volunteers at Saturday’s event. She was also a part of last year’s first annual Kelowna Wishmaker Walk for Wishes. She said the wishes granted are as important to the family as they are to the child. “For the family, it’s a chance to see their child just be a child and not have to worry about whatever medical issues that they’re dealing with.” According to the foundation’s website, most wish referrals come from parents, family members or the network of doctors, nurses and social workers engaged with the child.

STAFF REPORTER
A short walk on a mild October day may end up resulting in a lifechanging experience for a local child. About 50 people participated in the second annual Kelowna Wishmaker Walk for Wishes Saturday, which raised $1,840 for the B.C. chapter of the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. The foundation works to make wishes come true for kids between the ages of three and 17. The wishes are unique to each child and range from electronics gifts to cruise ship vacations. The most popular wish is a trip to Disneyland. “We do incredible wishes,” said Michaela Woloszyn, a wish coordinator with the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. “The sky is the limit.” Many of those taking part in Saturday’s walk said they didn’t have a personal connection to the wish foundation, but are simply supporters of the
Binning banquet The 12th annual Deepak Binning banquet fundraiser featuring Indian cuisine and dance will take place at the Rutland Centennial Hall on Saturday, starting at 6 p.m. Tickets are still available at $75/person with a tax receipt issued for $50 of that cost. The banquet will raise money for the new UBC Okanagan Medical School to help orphans with medical issues in India. For more information about that program, see the webstie Eastmeetswestorphansfoundation.org In the past, the fundraiser has generated some $250,000 for other UBC Okangaan programs, the cancer centre in Kelowna and to help pay for a special room at the new hospice house. “This is an amazing event and well supported by the community” said event organizer Mohinni Singh, who is a Kelowna city councillor. “Collectively we are all making a difference locally and globally.”

the ability to recruit and retain talented workers, remain competitive and protect customer service. Unfortunately, stigma is also an ongoing problem. Between 40 and 75 percent of individuals with a mental illness will not seek help because of shame, stigma or lack of information. It is unacceptable that so many people still feel as though they will be permanently labeled or even lose their jobs if they openly seek help for mental illness. When individuals are afraid to seek the help they need, they may continue coming to work but be less productive and require more effort to function even at minimal levels. This is bad for the affected individual as well as the company. It is estimated that mental health losses are two to three times greater than the losses due to absenteeism at work.

ty claims are psychiatric in nature – yet many employers are not wellequipped to deal with mental health issues in the workplace. Providing a mentally healthy workplace will not only improve overall morale and reduce unacceptable stigma surrounding mental health issues, it could also easily save many companies money. The local chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association is putting on a series of workshops geared toward helping employers learn to manage mental health issues in the workplace as well as create a healthy environment for their employees. “Complex Issues, Clear Solutions” is an award-winning one-day workshop designed to provide strategies and practical tools for employers. It promises to develop skills and comfort level to effectively manage employees experiencing emotional distress.
Some of the topics covered during the course include noticing changes in employee behaviour, communicating with employees, dealing with performance and co-worker responses and developing accommodations. “Safe and Sound” is another one-day workshop aimed at helping employers build and sustain a psychologically healthy workplace. Participants will receive training on the workers’ compensataion act relating to mental disorders. They will also learn about their duties and obligations in WorkSafe BC, how to recognize and address psychological health and safety risks in the workplace, and develop strategies to support a psychologically healthy workplace. These courses are being held at the UBC Okanagan campus Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. For more information or to register, visit www.cmha.bc.ca/ workshops I encourage all employers to take steps to improve their ability to deal with mental health issues in the workplace. These issues are a reality and being proactive in this area will help your employees as well as the company as a whole.

eraniums are popular bedding plants, blooming freely from May to frost. Every year or two, the varieties available on the open market change as new ones are developed and old ones go by the wayside. It seems just as you get to know a particular variety and look for it again the following season, it’s off the market. In the Okanagan, if they are left outside over winter that would be the end of them, but saving geraniums for the following season has been a popular activity of gardeners for ages. Geraniums can be over wintered by potting up individual plants, by taking cuttings, or even by hanging the plants upside down in a cool, dry place. You can overwinter Geraniums in pots by just pruning them back to onehalf to one-third of their original height. Then carefully dig each plant and place in a six- to eight-inch pot. After potting, water thoroughly and place the plants in a bright, sunny window. Geraniums prefer cool indoor temperatures. Daytime temperatures near 18 C and night temperatures around 12 C are ideal. Geraniums become spindly when grown in poor light and warm temperatures. During their stay indoors, water the plants thoroughly only when the soil is dry. Occasionally pinch or prune the gera-

niums to maintain stocky, well-branched plants. You can overwinter your geraniums by taking cuttings. Ideally the best time to take cuttings is in August however it can be done at this time as well. Take three- to fourinch cuttings by snapping them from terminal shoots. Using a knife exposes the cutting to disease entry. Pinch off the lower leaves, and then dip the base of the cuttings in a rooting hormone. Stick the cuttings in a rooting medium of sterile potting soil. Clay or plastic pots with drainage holes in the bottom are suitable containers. Insert the cuttings into the medium just far enough to be self-supporting. Bottom heat using a heating pad or waterbed heater enhances the results. After all the cuttings are inserted, water the cuttings and medium thoroughly. To prevent wilting, place a clear plastic bag over the cuttings and container. Then place the cuttings in bright light. Rooting should occur in six to eight weeks. Plant the rooted cuttings in three or four-inch pots containing a welldrained potting soil. Care of the rooted cuttings is the same as for the potted plants. An age old gardening activity is to overwinter Geraniums by making them go dormant. Dig the geraniums and carefully shake all the soil from the roots. Then hang the plants upside down in a cool (7 to 12C), dry place. During the winter months, periodically take the plants down and soak the roots in water for one to two hours. Most of the leaves will fall off during the winter however the stems should remain firm or solid. Cut back the geraniums to one-third their original height and pot indoors in late winter or plant outdoors in May. This method may require soaking the plants in water to re-hydrate them before potting them up.

NEWS ▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE
A 30-foot donation to RV program One of the biggest RV rigs cruising North America today will be helping Okanagan College students get their careers on the road, thanks to a donation from a Calgary man with a College connection. Ron Lee took in Okanagan College’s popular RV Owners Lifestyle Seminar Series two years running and in that time got to know Instructor Jon Itterman. This year when the two got chatting Lee mentioned an older rig he had
parked in his backyard. “Jon said the students could probably really use it, so that got me thinking,” Lee said. When Lee returned home to Calgary, he virtually turned around, this time driving his 2001 30foot Class A Motorhome straight to the Kelowna campus where he handed over the keys to John Haller, Dean of Trades and Apprenticeship programs. “I used to work for the University of Manitoba so I have an attachment
to post-secondary institutions,” Lee said. The one-of-a-kind donation will help to enhance students’ skills, Haller said. “Okanagan College is extremely grateful when people think of our students here, even from as far away as Calgary,” he said. Lee said he clocked nearly 13,000 kilometres on the RV over a two year period travelling throughout the Prairies, and down through Reno, Nevada to Sacramento, California.
Itterman said the rig is now in need of numerous repairs which makes it a perfect educational tool for students enrolled not only in the RV Service Technician program but also the Automotive program. “Our collision repair students will be able to work on the air-conditioning, while our RV students can work on the electrical problems, and the interior. Students need to work on real situations because that’s what they will be doing out in the field,”

▼ SEAN AIKEN
Speaker looks to motivate students Sean Aiken graduated from college and didn’t know what he wanted to do for a career or generally with his life. Instead of taking the first job that came along, he found a unique way of figuring it out, which he called The One Week Job Project. Aiken began a journey across North America in which he worked 52 jobs in 52 weeks hoping to find his career passion. His sojourn over the course of the year has since been featured in
The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, The Globe & Mail, on CNN, 20/20, The Rachael Ray Show, Good Morning America, MTV, CBC, CTV, and countless other media outlets around the world. He has also written a book on his career seeking adventure called The One Week Job Project. Aiken realized he hadn’t started on his own journey. He’d started a movement. Thousands of people began fol-
lowing his adventures. They commented on the website, and wrote about the journey on their blogs. High school, college and university students were relieved to find others uncertain of their careers. Baby boomers wrote how they’d found the courage to change their jobs, or go back to school and discover their passions once again. Aiken will be speaking to students at eight different secondary and middle schools during his week long visit in Kelowna.

Pondering our pot problem
N
ot only to those who indulge in the occasional, or regular, toke. But also in law enforcement and social costs. Growing, distributing and possessing pot are all illegal in Canada. Much of the growing and distribution are controlled by organized crime. Police, court and municipal authorities spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year enforcing Canada’s pot laws.
For the most part, it’s a catand-mouse chase that just ends up moving the problem around rather than eradicating it outright. Even a former B.C. attorney general, Geoff Plant, says the prohibition of marijuana has been a “disastrous failure of public policy.” Last month, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized.
They’d rather the weed be regulated and taxed, much like alcohol. That’s good news and bad news for the province’s 585,000 regular pot users. They’d no longer be considered criminals, but they’d pay the price with taxes that have a way of always increasing. But decriminalizing marijuana likely won’t save enforcement costs. That’s because most of the
money in marijuana made by the drug trade comes from producing it for export. As long as pot is still illegal the United States, there will be organized groups looking to cash in. And there will still be pressure on authorities to shut those groups down. The drug trade and its accompanying violence won’t go away with a resolution or the stroke of a pen through existing legislation.

issue of politics in that region of south Asia, there can be no justifying such a barbaric act—at least not in the mind of any right-thinking, compassionate human being. Here in the West, we take for granted that everyone, regardless of sex, can pursue any level of education they desire. But that is not the case in some parts of the world. And the attempt to murder Malala Yousufzai for wanting no more than to learn is a brutal reminder of that, even half a world away in small, peaceful Kelowna B.C. I have a 16-year-old daughter and, living in Canada, I take for granted the fact she will not only receive the same
level of education as any boy her age, she can be as successful in life as she wants to be, based on the effort she puts in. I tell my daughter she can do anything she puts her mind too. It’s not empty rhetoric. I believe it. And so does she. We live in a society that agrees. My daughter does not have to risk her life everyday simply by going to school. She does not have to adhere to government rules that would keep her uneducated and in poverty. Her education, beyond the prescribed secondary school level, is her choice. But that is not the case everywhere. The life we take for granted here is very different from the life
others in this world live through. While some may say it is easy to look at life in other parts of the world through the pampered lens of life in a rich, Western country, the shooting of Malala Yousafzai should not be shrugged off as another country’s politics. This is about human rights— basic human rights. Malala Yousafzai is a hero. At 14, she stood up to a political regime that would hold her and girls like her back, keep them uneducated, keep them dependent on others. Malala would not let the bullies bully her. But she paid a very heavy price for her bravery. It’s a price no child should ever have to pay.

LETTERS ▼ SMART METERS
Potential health threats pose a concern
To the editor: There are some things that I would like to bring to the public’s attention that are of great concern to me in regards to the smart/advanced meters. These meters emit biologically destructive pulsed microwaves every five to seven seconds that penetrate walls, windows, bone and internal organs. Yes that’s right, every five to seven seconds, not three times a day that Fortis assured us of. Once installed, these meters will create a smart meter mesh network, whereby data will be transmitted wirelessly from one
smart meter to the next and to the next until all this data reaches a collection point/pole. This data is transmitted via strong pulses of microwave signals. This is termed “net topology.” So let me ask you something. How many homes are within a two to three-kilometre radius of your home, your kids and your pets? Well, that is how many meters will be transmitting data via pulsed microwave signals into you, your kids and your pets. That is the range of the smart meters strongest transmitter. Yes,
there are two unsafe transmitters inside your smart meter. Not only are you being bombarded by a 2.45GHz pulse every five to seven seconds from your meter’s transmitter, but every other house (with a smart meter) within two to three kilometers of your home is bombarding you with a pulse of varied intensity as well. This form of wireless transmission disrupts cellular processes and is vastly more damaging to human health than even cell phones, because of the pulse, the cumulative effect and the continuous exposure .
The young and those of small body mass are even more vulnerable. I believe this is a terrible assault on our health and well-being. Please attend the B.C. Utilities/Fortis community input sessions at the Best Western Plus Hotel, 2402 Highway 97, in Kelowna from 3 to 5 p.m. or 6 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 8. Let the BCUC know that you do not want a smart meter. Remember, by doing nothing is giving consent. Rory Kapchinsky, Kelowna
No local apples at KGH Tax break for To the editor: I recently was discharged from Kelowna General Hospital after close to three months of care as a result of a water ski fall July 16 on Okanagan Lake. My family and I were all taken back by the fact that my apples on my food tray had New Zealand stickers on them. For a period of seven weeks they had New Zealand stickers on them, two weeks with Chile stickers and in the remaining weeks U.S. stickers.
The apples are hard and lack freshness. I had difficultly eating them. Our family grow a few apples ourselves and pick most others from Kempf Orchards. In the off-season, we purchase our apples from the B.C. growers here in Kelowna. The B.C. apples in all seasons are far more favourable and better quality than the imports. New Zealand is on the opposite side of the world and Chile is not much closer. The transportation ef-
fort to get these apples from Chile or New Zealand to my food tray in KGH is hard to believe. I wish our public health system would support our local agricultural industry as opposed to the world’s transportation systems. As for me, “a B.C. apple a day keeps the doctor away” should have been my original medical treatment plan. John B. Van Andel, Kelowna
Voting for/against parkade
To the editor: I apologize if I sound like I am harping on the issue of Kelowna city council’s decision to borrow $15 million to build parkades downtown, but after several conversations with friends, I came to the conclusion that I must speak out again. Many of those I spoke with didn’t even know that the question has been asked. They also didn’t understand how the alternative approval process works.
The question itself is flawed. Council has basically rolled two questions into one. Many agree to expending $1 million to expand the well used parkade at the library, but they objected to expending an additional $14 million to build a new parkade, a block away. Why can’t the proposed Interior Health Building include parking in their design? Should the city even be building parkades? This raises the ques-
tion, should council reconsider the question? But, if you don’t agree with council’s parkade proposal, go the city clerk’s office on the third floor of the City Hall and request the alternative approval form. All forms must be submitted by Oct. 26. The alternative approval process is flawed because it relies on voter apathy. Saying nothing and it’s understood your potential vote is in favour. Joyce Mainland, Kelowna
churches queried To the editor: If you’ve sometimes wondered why our taxes are high, I think here is part of the reason—religion sucks billions of dollars from tax revenues which then has to be made up by higher contributions from the general population. As most people know, churches get a pass on property taxes, and that gives them millions of unearned dollars. What most people often don’t realize is that the rest of us have to make up this shortfall in municipal tax revenues. Add in all the funds through donations that churches receive free of taxation and suddenly we are talking several billion dollars every year. According to a recent study, this amounts to an average of $73 billion per year in the U.S. and between $4- to $6 billion in Canada. Surely, this money could be put to better use in any number of more worthwhile programs such as health care, education, food banks or the many genuine non-profits that are perennially short of funds. If churches were truly full-time, legitimate charities, one could understand that they should receive relief on taxation. However, I feel churches are, first and foremost, businesses, their primary reason for being to recruit more members to their particular group in order to bring in more funds to build bigger and more elaborate palaces equipped with the latest technological gadgetry to entertain and inspire their followers. The City of Kelowna will soon advertise the amounts of permissive tax exemptions for various organisations in the coming year. If you carefully add up the dollar amounts by which churches and church run schools will benefit in Kelowna, I think you could be very surprised by the total. My calculation for the current year came to $1,125,109, obtained from the public notice published on Oct. 14, 2011. Maybe it’s time to tell these freeloaders to pay their own way. We’ve done enough. Besides, I thought God was supposed to provide for the faithful (Matt. 21:22, Phil. 4:19, Mal. 3:10). Guy King, Kelowna
Rutland bus exchange is a good idea being put in the wrong place Express yourself
To the editor: Re: Rutland Bus Exchange and extension of Shepherd Road. The City of Kelowna is now starting this project, after demolishing at least three residential houses, to push through to Dougall Road North. This area is primarily residential and after petitioning the city to choose another location for this bus exchange and speaking to head city officials and the former mayor, the city decided to go ahead anyway. Why did the city not put this bus exchange on their city owned large lot on
Roxby and where there is a traffic light already on the corner of Roxby and Highway 33? I know that Rutland does need good bus routes, bus pullouts and perhaps the bus transit exchange, but I think the decision to disrupt and destroy our residential neighbourhood where there was no need to do so bears looking into. My condo is a corner one which looks out directly on the area designated for this exchange. I am for the exchange but strongly oppose to the location. Lorraine Schuck, Rutland

Hallisey Atrium dedicated to business leader
Okanagan bikes to propel Ghanians
An expansive, lightfilled atrium in the UBC Okanagan’s new Engineering, Management and Education building has been dedicated to the memory of the late Richard Hallisey. Hallisey, who passed away in 2011, was a UBCeducated professional engineer who enjoyed a successful career in engineering and as a business leader. Born in Lytton, he moved to Kelowna at the age of 15. He graduated from the UBC in 1963 with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in civil and geological engineering. After working in the oil fields of Alberta, Hallisey completed a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Western Ontario in 1968. He then launched his
CONTRIBUTED
A PLAQUE dedicating the Richard S. Hallisey Atrium was unveiled last Friday at the Richard Hallisey career in Canada’s financial capital on Toronto’s Bay Street, starting with Pitfield McKay Ross as an oil and gas analyst. In 1978, he co-founded First Marathon Securities Limited, where his passion for mining and the impact it had on communities around the world allowed him to develop global mining projects and financing structures that touched the lives of thousands in Canada and abroad.

In the photo (from left) are SpiroYannacopoulos, director of the UBCO School of Engineering and acting dean of the Faculty of Management, Pamela Hallisey, wife of the late Richard Hallisey, their children Lisa Orr and Richard Hallisey, UBC principal Deborah Buszard, and UBC student Suraj Raveendran. “Richard was extremely dedicated to engineering at UBC, and wore his UBC ring with great pride,” said Pamela Hallisey, who unveiled the plaque formally dedicating the atrium in her late husband’s name during a ceremony on Friday morning. The Richard S. Hallisey Atrium is a mezzanine-level space connecting the building’s north and south towers.
The Hallisey family made a private donation to the Okanagan campus’s Start an Evolution campaign, which aims to raise $100 million for student scholarships and bursaries, new facilities and research programs, and to double the number of alumni involved annually in the life of the university by 2015. “It is particularly fitting that Richard’s academic preparation for success in life blended en-
gineering and business education,” said Spiro Yannacopoulos, director of the UBCO School of Engineering and acting Dean of the Faculty of Management. “This building is home to Engineering in the south tower and Management in the north tower—as well as the Faculty of Education and College of Graduate Studies, and we are very grateful to the family for their support.”
Slightly fewer than 500 bicycles started their long journey from Kelowna to the West African country of Ghana, on Sunday afternoon. A dozen volunteers with Bicycles for Humanity, an international charity that got its start in Kelowna, packed bikes, helmets and spare parts into a 40-foot shipping container that immediately left for a cargo ship in Vancouver. This is the second container the group has shipped to Ghana this year. The previous one, sent this spring, has arrived and its contents distributed. Jim Couper, a volunteer who has observed the use of bikes in Ghana, said, “It’s inspiring to see so many bikes, that would be under-used here, going to nurses, farmers and students. When I visited I found Ghanaians to be honest, friendly, hard working, peaceful people. They deserve our help.” All the bikes in the container were reclaimed, or donated, by Okanagan residents. To facilitate packing the maximum number into a container volunteers removed pedals, turned handlebars, lowered seats and took off front wheels. John Hillis, who worked inside the steamy container stacking bikes, said, “The quality of the bikes always surprises me. Some look like they’ve never been used. It’s so good that they keep being donated year after year.” Adult bikes can be dropped off behind St. Charles Garnier church on Benvoulin, near Casorso, next to Father Pandosy historical site. For more information or to made donations contact Keith Germaine at 250-764-2942.

Halloween play Safety council Halloween Haunt at the travelers’ village reading staged by theatre group The Kelowna and District Safety Council’s Halloween Haunt is back. Now in its eighth year, this popular annual event has become a staple of the Halloween season in Kelowna. A cauldron of fun for the whole family, the event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 27, from noon to 3 p.m., at the Little Travelers’ Safety Village, 395 Hartman Rd. Sponsored by Western Financial Group, the event will feature a variety of ghoulish games, activities, and crafts that will be set up at stations around the Safety Village and inside the classroom. “Halloween is one of the most exciting nights of the year for kids,” said Tania Meyer, executive director of the Kelowna and District Safety Council. “The Halloween Haunt provides a safe alternative for families to celebrate Halloween together, and this event has become a family favorite. We have sold out every year, and we usually have a lot of disappointed parents calling for tickets
just before the event. So, we’re encouraging people to get their tickets as early as possible this year.” Some favourite activities from previous Haunts, like the Mummy Wrap and Fear Factor, will be returning, and some new activities and crafts have been added to keep the event fresh. In keeping with the Halloween theme, Scott Alexander, a local naturalist and environmental educator, will be returning with several of his slithering serpents. Children and adults will be able to touch and hold the scaly reptiles as he teaches them about snake safety and handling. Pizza and juice will be available to all attendees, and all children will receive a Halloween treat bag filled with goodies and a Halloween safety tip sheet. Tickets are $4/person. As this event is expected to sell out again, be sure to get your tickets early. For more information or to register, please call KDSC at 250-765-3163.
Haunted hall setup a first for East Kelowna In two weeks, the East Kelowna Community Hall Association will present its inaugural Haunted Hall Halloween event. Mnoey raised from this event will go towards the ongoing restoration of the historic East Kelowna Hall. Haunted Hall opens to the public on Saturday, Oct. 27, running nightly until Halloween. This five-day event is designed to scare the pants off of those 12 years and older, but those under 12 will be welcome for a less terrifying visit from 5 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 30 and 31. The cost is $5/person. “Planning for the Haunted Hall began 8 months ago,” explained Kathy Bullach, president of the EKCHA. “Our volunteers will transform East Kelowna Hall into a creepy, disturbing place. There isn’t much in Kelowna for those who love Halloween, and we (the EKCHA) hope to fill the gap with this event.” The East Kelowna Hall was built in 1940, and is listed on the Kelowna Heritage Register. The EKCHA volunteer board has been actively working on revitalizing
and renovating the building for the past two years. For more information,

Local horses get national attention Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Cori Wilson has been showing Half Arabian horses for the last 25 years. But it wasn’t until recently that one of those horses managed to become a national champion. Josapheen, a Half Arabian horse, recently snatched up two national championships at The Canadian National Ara-
bian and Half Arabian Horse Show in Brandon, Man., last August. “She’s had a lot of professional training,” Wilson. “Her sire is the most winning Straight Egyptian horse in history, so we had a lot of success with him. Josapheen is our first one to (become) a national champion.” The sire, Shy Gayfeen, is also owned by Wilson. He is the only Straight Egyptian to have achieved
the Arabian Horse Association’s highest honours: Legion of Masters and Legion of Excellence. Josapheen’s two halfsiblings did pretty well at the national competition as well. In total, the three horses earned two national championships, three reserve national championships and eight national top 10 finishes. All three foals were raised in Kelowna. Wilson started show-
ing horses when she was nine-years-old. She currently owns six horses on a 10-acre farm near Black Mountain. She said it has been a very good year for horse showing, and is looking forward to the mares’ futures, especially Josapheen’s. “She’s only three, so there’s lots of groundwork…she was broke this year and was ridden under saddle for the last six months. “She’ll undergo another eight to 10 months
of training before we’ll show her under saddle.” Wilson said she is optimistic that Josapheen can earn more national titles under saddle. If early results and good bloodlines are any indication, that goal is likely reachable. “The most important thing is that the horse has all the qualities and the look to compete at that level. This filly certainly does.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews. com

▼ FORTIS AWARDS
Energy savers earn praise
From schools heated by geothermal to one of the most energy efficient homes in Canada, 45 local individuals, businesses and institutions are taking energy management to new heights. And those energy saving efforts were recognized last week in Kelowna as FortisBC announced the winners of its annual PowerSense Conservation Excellence and Leadership awards for outstanding achievements in energy efficiency. For the first time, the awards were part of an allday forum where energy conscious businesses learned from each other, industry experts and Natural Resources Canada on the most effective ways to manage energy use. FortisBC PowerSense Conservation Excellence Awards recognize customers who have shown a commitment to innovation, conservation and sustainability by completing energy efficiency projects that saved more than 100,000 kilowatt hours annually and reduced natural gas use by more than 10 per cent when compared to an equivalent time period in 2011. One of the largest projects recognized with a conservation award was the expansion to the City of Kelowna’s wastewater treatment facility. With this project, the facility has nearly doubled its capacity to treat water, accommodating the city’s sewer servicing needs beyond 2030. As part of the expansion, new equipment was installed that increases the facility’s energy efficiency and reduces the use of potable water. Innovative technologies include UV disinfection of effluent and a state-of-the-art odour control system. “Building a sustainable city means that we find ways to deliver and balance on multiple bottom lines. Through expansion of the wastewater treatment facility, we have been able to expand our capacity for service while reducing our energy footprint and saving costs,” said Mike Gosselin, acting utility services manager. The Okanagan Conservation Leadership winners — 45 organizations and individuals acting as leaders, catalysts, and educators — are: Conservation Excellence City of Penticton, Interior Health Authority, Town of Summerland, School District 53 Oliver, Village of Keremeos, Overwaitea Foods, Hudson’s Bay Company, Loblaws, UBC Properties Trust, UBC Okanagan, City of Kelowna, Kelowna Toyota, Sears Canada, Orchard Park Shopping Centre, Delta Grand Hotel, Versatile Fab and Machine, Okanagan Strata Management, Northwood Retirement Resort, Pushor Mitchell Building, Interior Savings Credit Union, Sunstar Ventures. Leadership Awards Darter Developments Ltd., Acorn Communities Ltd., Architecturally Distinct Solutions Ltd., Valux Homes Ltd., Allen & Maurer Architects, Ritchie Contracting.

Unconscionable employment releases not binding A
prudent step for employers settling claims with departing employees is to obtain the person’s signature on a form of release. The purpose of a release is to provide the employer with comfort that the individual will not commence future court actions or other complaints relating to the employment. Typically, an employment-related release is intended to protect the employer against all manner of civil actions (such as wrongful dismissal) as well as administrative complaints under statutes relating to human rights, employment standards, personal information, etc. It usually is intended to apply to all circumstances relating to the employment (and the cessation thereof) regardless of whether those circumstances are presently known to the individual. A release is intended to be a binding, contractual document and should not be entered into lightly. Its impact on the individual can be significant and careful consideration, including obtaining legal advice, is highly recommended. That is because, once signed, a release can be difficult to overturn. In Ontario, a few years ago, a decision of the Superior Court of Justice exemplified how difficult it can be for an individual to escape the impact of a release. Barr’s employment as a territory sales manag-
YOU WORK HERE
Robert Smithson er with Pennzoil-Quaker State Canada Inc. was terminated after almost 15 years. Barr was offered, and accepted, a severance package and in the course of doing so he executed a full general release. The severance package included one year of base salary as a lump sum, the continuation of benefits for two months, payout of accrued vacation pay, and access to career counseling services. Barr was given two weeks to consider the proposal and to obtain financial and legal advice as he saw fit. Ultimately, Barr signed the release without questioning any aspect of the severance package. Subsequently, he sued Pennzoil-Quaker State for wrongful dismissal, seeking greater pay in lieu of notice of his dismissal. The court emphasized that law courts will be slow to set aside a release and settlement agreement between parties where valuable consideration has been exchanged. It found that, in accepting the terms of the release, Barr had not been subject to duress. Although he was subject to economic pressure,

he did not protest and had alternate steps available to him. He obtained financial advice but made his own decision not to get independent legal advice. The court characterized the employer’s conduct—it effectively threatened Barr when it told him he would get nothing if he didn’t accept their offer—as especially unconscientious, but the court still upheld the release because the severance package was within the range of what was acceptable in Barr’s circumstances. In a more recent de-
cision from Ontario, the opposite result occurred. Rubin sued Home Depot Canada Inc. for wrongful dismissal after his employment was terminated. He had been employed for 20 years and was 63 at the time of termination. On the day his employment was terminated, Rubin signed a release. But, after later obtaining legal advice, his view was that the release should not be enforced. In exchange for his signing the release, Rubin had been offered a settlement which Home Depot told him exceeded their
statutory obligations. What Home Depot didn’t tell Rubin was that the pay offered exceeded the employer’s statutory obligation by only ? of a week. In assessing Rubin’s claim, the Ontario Court of Superior Justice cited four necessary elements for finding that a release is unconscionable: the transaction in which it was given must be grossly unfair or improvident; the signor of the release must not have obtained suitable advice before signing; there must be an imbalance of bargaining power causing the signor to be vulnera-

he Boxing Day sale is a tradition of getting good deals on the days following Christmas. There are many good deals in every season of the year. Now the fall season is here, there are some discount fall offers for savvy shoppers. Retailers do not want to store items until the next season so they blow them out at discount prices. Here are some good deals for the fall season: Garden produce is now in bountiful supply, this is the time of year to buy produce because it is plentiful and fresh and the price is right. We can buy fresh produce now in the fall season to enjoy, or preserve it for the months ahead. We are so fortunate in the Okanagan to have many local farmers and garden markets offering fresh produce for us to enjoy. Shopping local keeps money in our community. Clothing is often offered as a discount after the rush of back to school shopping is over. There is still summer stock

at clearance prices and you can find good deals on fall clothing to wear over the fall and winter season. Most of the clothes are mix and match and are staples in our wardrobe all year round. Late summer and fall is the time of year to buy the past summer’s swimwear. Pool and hot tub supplies are at blow out prices. Lawn mowers, barbecues, outside furniture and patio lights are reflective of retail products that need to get sold and removed from the stores inventory as soon as end of summer rolls around. Stores have the choice of either selling their inventory to a consumer who walks through the door, or sell it to a discount outlet at a potential loss. If you have the room to store a new lawn mower or patio furniture until the spring, you can realize a 50 per cent saving on these fall blow out deals. The new line up of vehicles
FISCAL are hot off the asFITNESS sembly line and
last years models need to get cleared from the car lots. You can wait a few more months Doreen for a potentialSmith ly deeper discount on your new or used vehicle, but the choice will become more limited. Black Monday in the U.S. is one of the biggest shopping days of the year, and the trend is starting to come to Canada. Canada is trying to get a piece of the consumer dollars by offering similar deals to keep shoppers from heading south. Electronics are often offered at a discount prior to the lead up Christmas rush, and these are one of the big ticket sales during the Black Monday sale. In the fall, toys hit the stores in a big way for the pre-Christmas season and competition in the retail giants offers some surprise savings. We are fortunate that we have four seasons in Canada, and each
season has its own deals happening. Make sure you ask the return policy of the store you are making a purchase from. Most retailers offer a 30-day money back policy whiles others are now allowing 90-day return policy if you charge it to their department store credit card. Remember always pay your credit card balance in full before the due date. You do not want to pay 18 or 28 per cent interest on a hot deal. If you pay interest on your sale purchase, the deal was not a deal; it is becoming a high debt commitment that should have been avoided. Almost everything comes on sale—you just have to know your prices and be prepared to lay down your hard earned cash when the price is right.

Entrepreneur hero or champion? You be the judge I
’ve often wondered how you and I might view the budding and seasoned entrepreneur in this crazy world of uncertainty and joy for the business victor. I thought this week, it might be fun to entertain some realm of comparison between an entrepreneur champion and a hero. What makes a champion? Is it an unrelenting attitude, belief in yourself, focus and determination? A champion is a strong competitor who never quits, never surrenders. A true champion, it is said, is one who would rather fall down while striving and exerting maximum effort, than to sit down because they are tired. The same attitude and characteristics also describe the successful entrepreneur. Although it may appear sometimes that there is little hope, you must remain hopeful. There is always something to be learned from past experiences, something that we can reach inward for that will furnish the drive and inspiration to prevail when we feel as if our entrepreneurial dream might be slipping through our fingers. There will always be that quiet temptation to quit, go back to a job and escape, but the serious entrepreneur realizes that during those disconcerting moments, the champion awaits to rush forth, just ahead, sometimes obscured by the next curve or dip in the road.
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young Though often unseen, triumph awaits the champion entrepreneur—just over the hill. The winner knows in their gut that they will find a way to prevail in their current course of action or will indeed change course as many times as is necessary leading to the victory lane. This winning attitude of a true entrepreneurial champion is expressed so eloquently in the old adage: “I cannot do anything about the wind, but I can adjust my sails.� To quit is simply not an option for the vast majority of entrepreneurs. That is winning attitude that separates champions from everyone else. So now let’s move right into a view of the entrepreneurial hero. What is a hero? For some, a hero represents a person who lives up to age-old values such as honesty, integrity, courage and bravery. For others, a hero is someone who is steadfast and sets a great example to emulate in the future. To many, being a hero also means self-sacrifice, even for the sake of others. It is then said that every society has and needs heroes to reflect the values we revere, the accomplishments we respect and
the hopes that give our lives true meaning. By celebrating our heroes, we honour our past, energize our present and shape our future. When we delve into a research mode, the typical path of the hero can be traced in all cultures through three stages. The first stage departs from the familiar and comfortable into the unknown, risking failure and loss— a venturing forth for some greater idea or purpose. The second stage is the encountering of hardship and challenge and the mustering of courage and strength to overcome or discover. The final stage is the return to the community at large with something new or better than what was there before. Ultimately, it is the entrepreneurial hero figure that is the represen-
tative of the “new�—the founder of processes or products that make people in their communities and the world in general better off. What we may contend is that in our modern era, the wealth creators—the hero and champion entrepreneurs—actually travel a heroic path and are every bit as bold and daring as the heroes who fought dragons and overcame evil in our fictional tales of yesterday. In many a heroic journey, the entrepreneur is venturing forth from a world of accepted ways and norms. They then assert that there is a better way and they will find it. The entrepreneur is an optimist, able to clearly see more of what be by taking what is here now and seeking to rearrange it. Entrepreneurs are

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the province. Today, participation includes 209 brand-owner members, 39 collectors and processors, 520+ return collection facilities and more than 4,000 generators. In addition, BCUOMA is reprising its successful ambassador program this summer – with two ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling.
Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are not household garbage we can simply throw out, more than one million litres of used oil ends up in BC landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a million drops of water, the problem is clear: there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore. BCUOMA is a non-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.
Kelowna is going to have to write a manual about how to do this type of work right, so that other cities can follow suit. Most stores downtown tell me that, although business is slightly quieter than normal, it’s still within range and we’re all optimistic that it will be a great Christmas

they made this discovery! Things are progressing so well that Ellis Street and Bernard, from Ellis to St. Paul, have been re-opened to traffic again. During the next few weeks, the curbing for the wide new sidewalks will be poured, and the new look of downtown will begin to take shape. In November, the lighting, sidewalks and most of the landscaping will be completed in the Richter to St. Paul corridor, which will showcase downtown’s bright new look to everyone. This section is slated to open on Dec. 7, in time for the Christmas festivitie –I can’t wait! During downtown’s facelift, don’t forget that the DKA and the City of Kelowna are sponsoring the Bernard Avenue Contest. You can enter by making a minimum $10 purchase at any downtown business, and the prize is a $500 downtown shopping spree. Prize draws are held every two weeks (there have already been two winners) and the next draw is on Oct. 23. For info, go to downtownkelowna.com and click on Bernard Avenue Contest. The last Small Shop Saturday celebration of the year was held last Saturday. The city generously donated free on-street parking downtown for the day, and the merchants dreamed up lots of fun surprises, sales and activities for customers to enjoy. Two especially intriguing in-store events were Olive & Elle’s “Fresh Autumn Market” (fresh baked goods, preserves and other Fall goodies for sale in the store) and Blonde’s “Lumberjack Love Party” (a photo booth, special “home brew” and giveaways all day). Don’t miss the start of Small Shop Saturday next year, starting in the spring. And watch for more fun events in early December to celebrate the “reveal” of the first phase of Bernard Avenue’s facelift. Jan Johnson has coowned Tigerlily Fashions downtown for 25 years, and she never ceases to be amazed at the variety of unique businesses and events in the downtown Kelowna area.

Sun regroups for playoffs after drubbing
Bell produces in forward role Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Leaving behind the residuals effects of a drubbing on their home turf may be easier said than done. But with the playoffs beckoning, the Okanagan Sun don’t really have much time to dwell on the recent past. On the heels of a 48-6 humbling Saturday at the hands of the Langley Rams, the Sun will look to regroup this week as they travel to Nanaimo Saturday to take on the Vancouver Island Raiders in the B.C. Football Conference semifinal. “We’re still playing, we’re in the playoffs and that’s what’s important,” said Sun head coach Gavin Lake. “Has everything gone the way we wanted ? No, but we can get into the post-mortem when the season is over, not now. Our energies have to be 100 per cent into beating the VI Raiders, so that’s what we’re concentrating on this week.” If there is an upside to the Sun’s seemingly desperate situation, it’s the fact that they could have just as easily won both regular season contests in Nanaimo. Okanagan lost the two games by a combined three points and came up shy each time on failed field goal attempts in the

One place—maybe the only one—the Sun proved competitive this season it was at Caledonia Park. “We’ve gone in there and danced with the big dogs and have only lost with two missed field goals,” Lake said. “Anything can happen in the playoffs, and we just saw that on the Prairies where the Calgary Colts went 8-0, then lost in the first game of the playoffs to Regina. The guys know they can play (in Nanaimo), so we’ll prepare and go in there ready to

play.” On Saturday at the Apple Bowl, the Sun certainly didn’t give the impression of a playoff-ready team. Okanagan had an abysmal minus-18 yards of total offense in the first half, while the Rams were able to run, pass and return kicks pretty much at will against the Sun on a rainy afternoon where the result was never in question. To add injury to insult, a scary moment late in the first half saw Sun backup quarterback Austin Komonski absorb a massive hit from Rams defensive

back Mick Felicella. Komonoski remained on the field for 30 minutes before being carried off the field and taken to hospital. The good news is, as of Monday, Komonoski was recovering well and had no concussion symptoms. With one of the youngest rosters in recent memory, 2012 has been a trying season for the Sun who finished at 3-7, including 1-4 at home. The only other season the Sun posted a losing record (2-5-2) was 1981, the club’s first year in the B.C.

Junior Football League. As expected, in a city where expectations are perennially high, the head coach’s future with the Sun has, by some, been called into question. Regardless of what fate awaits him, Lake says he has a job to do. “I have no choice but to put everything I have into this game,” Lake said. “The season is still going and I’m not going to quit on the team. We’r e going in there to try and win a football game, nothing else matters right now.” whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
As experiments go, the one moving Myles Bell from defense to forward has, so far, been a GradeA success for the Kelowna Rockets. Since joining Colton Sissons and Dylen McKinlay up front on Sept. 28 in Portland the 6-foot, 210-pound Calgary native has been an offensive force for the Rockets. Bell, who still drops back to the the point on the power play, is tied for third overall in WHL scoring with six goals and 17 points in 10 games. “When we lost J.T. Barnett (to injury) on opening weekend, we felt we needed an older, offensive guy to move up front,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “Myles went up there and hasn’t complained. For whatever reason, he developed immediate chemistry with Colton and Dylen and has continued to play very well ever since.” A defenseman most of his playing life, Huska said Bell has thrived in his new role. “I’ve liked him more up front than on defense, and he’s really excited about contributing as a forward,” Huska added. “He’s putting the team before himself and it’s working out well. He’s a very strong guy and when he get the puck down low, he’s doing good things with it, whether he’s passing or shooting.” The Rockets return to action Thursday

Rockets await appeal
The Rockets should find out later this week whether they’ll see Nicolas Kerdiles in a Kelowna uniform this season. Kerdiles and his University of Wisconsin Badgers are appealing the one-year ban of the 18-year-old forward which was handed down by the NCAA earlier this month. The NCAA, which is expected to hear the appeal sometime this week, alleges Kerdiles violated amateurism rules. If Kerdiles’ suspension isn’t reduced or overturned, then the talented 6-foot-2, 196-pound forward—a second round draft pick of the Anaheim Ducks—could end up playing out the 2012-13

BCHL Warriors sweep Rivermen Marcus Basara’s natural hat-trick lifted West Kelowna past Langley 4-3 on Saturday night at Roy-
al LePage as the Warriors completed a weekend sweep of the Rivermen in BCHL action.
Basara’s three consecutive markers helped West Kelowna overcome a 2-0 deficit, as Langley

The 19-year-old Basara now leads the Warriors with eight goals this season. The other goal came on the power play from Brett McKinnon his sixth of the season. West Kelowna coach and GM Rylan Ferster was pleased to see his club overcome the adversity of an early deficit. “When you give up the two shorthanded like
that it wasn’t like we played that bad those were just tough breaks,” said Ferster. “I thought we were playing well. Credit to the kids, they stuck with it and we were able to get the win.” On Saturday, the Warriors defeated the hometown Rivermen 4-1. David Pope scored the eventual game-winner early in the second, whi-
le Brennan Clark, Brett McKinnon and Reid Simmonds also tallied for the Warriors. Captain Max French missed both weekend games for the Warriors with a lower-body injury. The Warriors (6-2-0-3) are back in action Friday night in Merritt against the Centennials as they play four of their next five games on the road.

Owls back on track shutting out Voodoos A week after being humbled in a 37-0 shutout by the Mt. Boucherie Bears, the Kelowna Owls made amends with a convincing performance against the crosstown rival Rutland Voodoos. The Owls (2-1) dominated on both sides of the ball on Friday night at the Apple Bowl en route to a 44-0 win over Rutland in B.C. high school football action. Eli Haynes and Darrion Bunce caught touchdown passes from KSS quarterback Shawn Gordon, who scored the game’s opening major on a two-yard plunge. Hudsen Anderson and Dele Oyelese each added a touchdown on the ground, while Jackson Lowe scored the other major on a 32-yard interception return. Lowe and Haynes each had two of the Owls’ five picks in the game,
while Brodie Couch had the other. “Both sides of the ball worked really well,” said Owls coach Shane Sommerfeld. The Owls will travel to Salmon Arm Friday to take on the winless Golds. The Voodoos (1-2) will meet the unbeaten Mt. Boucherie Bears Friday at 6:30 at the Apple Bowl.
BOUCHERIE BEARS 42 SALMON ARM 8 The Mt. Boucherie Bears gave up their first points of the Okanagan AAA regular season on Friday but still cruised to their third straight win, 42-8 over the hometown Salmon Arm Golds.

Their first defeat of the season didn’t prevent the Okanagan Rockets from moving into top spot in the B.C. Major Midget League standings. The Rockets earned a weekend split with the Valley West Hawks at the BCMML showcase in Langley and now boast a record of 6-1-1. Okanagan leads the Northwest Giants by one point, although the Giants have two games in hand. The Rockets opened up the weekend with a 7-6
win over the Hawks on Saturday. Cortlan Procter paced the Rockets with two goals and an assist, while Liam Finlay added a goal and two helpers. Other Rockets goals came from Spencer Hewson, Brendan Wagner, Alex Gran, and Brett Mennear with the game winner. Okanagan built up a 7-3 lead before the Hawks rallied late with three goals to make it interesting. Brenden Mills earned his third win of the season
stopping 19 Valley West shots. On Sunday, the Hawks handed the Rockets a 3-1 loss, their first of the 201213 campaign. Valley West jumped out to a 3-0 lead before Brendan Wagner spoiled the Hawks’ shutout bid at 19:59 of the third with his 10th goal of the season.

Heat women soccer run up season-long win streak to four The UBC Okanagan women’s soccer squad is heating up at a most opportune time of the season. With the PACWEST playoffs just around the corner, the Heat are on a season-long four-game winning streak. UBCO won twice at home over the weekend, opening up on Saturday with a 2-0 win over the Langara Falcons. Michelle Smith, on a corner kick at 59 minutes, and Lindsey Briggs in the 76th minute scored for the Heat. On Sunday, the Heat downed Quest University 3-1. Goal scorers for the Heat were defender Hayley Carlson on a penalty kick, forward Kirsten Dodds, with her teamleading fourth PACWEST goal in 2012, and forward Taylor Candelario. “A fantastic weekend for us and a great game again today,” remarked head coach Claire Paterson after Sunday’s win. “We played hard for 90 minutes and came up with two great goals on top of the penalty kick.” The Heat (6-1-5) is
right direction.” The Heat was officially eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday after suffering a 2-0 loss to the Langara Falcons.
One of UBCO’s best chances came in the 29th minute when Dylan Abbott put a hard boot to a pass off of a corner kick by Austin Jones but the
shot sailed just over the bar. UBCO will close out its season next weekend at home to VIU and Capilano.
Osland 8th at Washington tourney Kelowna’s Megan Osland continues to show solid early-season form as a sophomore member of the San Jose State University women’s golf team. Osland finished in a tie for eighth spot at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational, an NCAA Div. 1 tournament played at the Sahalee Golf and Country Club in Washington, Oct. 8 to 10. After a two-over par 73 on opening day, the KSS grad posted back to back 75s to finish at 7-over par 223, tied for eighth and just a stroke out of seventh. With four birdies and seven bogeys on her card during the final round, Osland posted the sixth best score of the day (75) to move from 10th to eighth position. It was the same pla-

UBCO will close out the regular season at home this coming weekend with games against VIU and Capilano. The defending provincial silver medalists will be in Squamish, Oct. 26 to 28.
HEAT MEN Last year’s provincial bronze medalists, the UBC Okanagan men’s soccer squad won’t be returning to the podium in 2012. But at least the Heat and Austin Jones won’t go winless this season as they recorded a 3-2 victory over Quest University Sunday in PACWEST action at Nonis Field. Jones scored all three
goals for the Heat who won for the first time in 12 (1-7-4) tries this season. When asked about what the win meant for his team, Heat head coach Dante Zanatta commented: “I’m happy for the players. All the games we’ve played we have put in a good effort and just missed putting the ball in the net. We’re encouraged by the steps taken in the

Wise investment indeed
B
.C. is an economic powerhouse, and with 51,700 jobs gained since August 2011, we lead the country in job creation. Yet, this is only half the picture. While it’s vital that we continue to create skilled jobs in our province, we need to ensure that British Columbians can fill them. This is why I, like many in the community, was happy to hear last month’s announcement about B.C.’s Skills and Training Plan. Under this plan, the Province committed $75 million to projects across B.C. to provide British Columbians with the training they need to capitalize on the opportunities available in our growing economy. The Okanagan was certainly a major beneficiary of this plan, with $28 million dedicated to improving and expanding trades training facilities at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus. Yet, our government hasn’t done this alone. This major investment in our community has been done in close partnership with Okanagan College, which also con-
MLA’S REPORT
Ben Stewart tributed $5 million to the project. So, what does this investment in Okanagan College mean for the region? The project addresses the growing local demand for trades-related training—a demand which has doubled over the past decade. It meets our needs by funding the construction of a two-storey addition to the college’s trades complex. It increases the number of students by almost 130, meaning that over 2,400 students will have access to modern facilities and sufficient space, giving them the best opportunity to succeed. It ensures that the next generation of welders, electricians, plumbers and other highly-skilled workers are given every advantage as they enter the workforce. This latest announcement is just the tip of the
iceberg. Since 2005, our government has dedicated over $63 million in capital investment to Okanagan College. As a long term resident of the Okanagan, I can see the momentum building, with enrollment doubling since 2005. I truly believe that success rewards success. As the number of skilled local graduates continues to climb, the number of quality jobs available to them has also increased, thus bolstering the economy and allowing all Okanaganites to prosper. But don’t take my word for it. Jim Hamilton, president of Okanagan College, said recently: “Just as a decision 50 years ago to invest in trades training facilities here has had an immeasurable impact in this region, the decision to invest in developing this showcase for training will yield positive change and pride that can be shared by students, industry, the community, the college and government.” Ben Stewart is the Liberal MLA for WestsideKelowna. www.benstewartmla.bc.ca

NEWS â–ź UBC OKANAGAN (
Students assemble research project What makes a healthy university community? A major research project at UBC Okanagan’s campus is asking that question starting this month and continuing through the next year. The VOICE 2012 project involves more than 100 students as co-researchers, working with faculty and staff to explore ways to create, renew or sustain healthpromoting campus change. It’s actually a new round of healthy campus research, replicating and extending previous VOICE research conducted from 2006 to 2011, says associate professor emeritus of nursing Claire Budgen, one of the more than 16 faculty and staff researchers working on the project. “Results from the previous VOICE studies indicated that many health-promoting campus changes were associated with the research—for example, improved quality of drinking water, food, student space, activity and outdoor trails,� says Budgen. Funded through Campus Health grants, the research involves both community engagement and the collection of pictures, facts, figures and testimonies. All campus community members and visitors are welcome to participate. To support the inclusion of diverse views, the student co-researcher team will include students from multiple disciplines and backgrounds. Student VOICE researchers began earlier in September by taking photos that identify health issues on campus. October will see students canvassing campus starting this Wednesday with a community dialogue survey that seeks to find out what UBC students, faculty and staff think about the health of the campus, strengths and struggles. “This study will contribute new knowledge to the field of healthy campus development, in particular, navigating diverse perspectives,� Budgen notes. Results of the first phase of VOICE 2012 will be provided at a campus-wide forum on Nov. 21.

Mickey enjoys car rides and is timid with other dogs. He has been around children, needs more socialization and leash training, is good in the house and loves being outside to play. He is friendly and lovable, still in potty training mode and should excel in puppy training. Please do your research on the breed, and remember that puppies are a HUGE responsibility. He will need lots to keep his attention from straying, so if you can provide him with a loving active home, come down and meet him.
Kiki was rescued from abandonnment. We have found her to be a very social affectionate girl who gets along with everybody. She would suit any family or home, as she is patient and gentle with a twist of energetic flair. If you would like to meet her please ask the staff to set up a meet and greet. Abandonded
Jazzy is waiting for her ‘forever family” to come and collect her. She is super social with people, but is very dominant with other cats. She would love a home with NO other cats. She was pregnant, had her kittens, and is now soooo ready for a new home. She is super affectionate, and a social butterfly. Come down and spend some time getting to know her....you won’t be sorry.

MISSY
ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE
Hack is super affectionate, cuddly and a “you-have-to-see-me-to-love-me” type cat. He will curl up in your lap and loves to be groomed. He would be a wonderful addition to any family who seriously loved to interact and trust me Hack will never grow tired of your attention. If you feel like having a good ‘cuddle session’ with this sweetie, please ask the staff to set up a meeting.
Westie is a very affectionate girl. She would appreciate a nice, quiet home, as she can become stressed somewhat easily. Her fav game is hide and seek, but she doesn’t like to be chased around, just found and cuddled. She will sit in your lap and purr away, although she can be a little skittsh around young children. Westie will be a rewarding companion if she is given the chance. Came in as stray

He would make a wonderful ‘kids’ cat. He was injured when we found him, so will have a slight limp for awhile. Please ask the staff to set up a meeting with this cuddle bunny...we promise you won’t regret spending time with him. Came in as a stray

2 YEARS (approx) DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE
9 MONTHS OLD CHIHUAHUA/YORKSHIRE TERRIER X NEUTERED MALES The neighbours complained so that is why these 2 adorable boys are now at the shelter. Their breed can be quite the diggers and will run free if they escape, so a secure fence line is mandatory. We would love them to go to the same home, but the best home is most important... together or apart. They are used to being carried everywhere so are not great on the leash yet. They should never be taken anywhere off leash, being small and shy they may not return to you if scared off!. Both dogs would be a joy for any family that has the time and love to offer. They are both good with cats and dogs.
Kylie was just found wandering the streets. She is super affectionate and would so love to find her ‘forever home’. She would be a great friend for anybody, as she absolutely loves to interact. There are so many great things about her that you just have to meet her in ‘cat’! You won’t be disappointed. Found in Glenrosa

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen leftovers made new When you’re on a budget it’s important to make every penny, as well as every meal, count. Most of us are also on a pretty tight schedule, with activities many nights of the week and a day-full as well, so meals that can be put together quickly are a real relief. Quesadillas could also involve the kids in some preparation work if they’re home first after school. Try to think ahead when planning meals so that the main dish you cook on the weekend leaves some leftover meat that will be useful for a quick meal a day or two later, when life is busier. So, leftovers from a roasted chicken, beef or pork roast can be sliced cold into strips and tossed into a green salad with cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes or whatever comes to hand, for a meal in a bowl after a day at school or work. But, you can get even more creative with some leftovers, and following are a couple of suggestions for ways you can extend that weekend meal to save you a bit of time during the week. Remember too that leftover meat often freezes quite well, and can then be thawed another week to make a sloppy joe, creamy casserole or quesadilla for supper. For more ideas for using leftovers to make new meals, check out my book, Jude’s Kitchen, which is available wherever books are sold, as well as a few places you might not think to look, like the B.C. Wine Museum in the historic Laurel Packinghouse. Remember to include lots of the fresh from the field vegetables and fruits now available at the farmer’s markets, farm stands and produce markets. An extended season this year means we’re even luckier than usual with the huge variety of fall produce available for the plucking. Many are terrific tucked into lunch bags for healthy snacks during the day as well. JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
Ham & Potato Pie This is a great way to help use up leftover ham and it makes a different dish for the brunch table, a side dish for dinner (complete it with a salad) or breakfast for two. It’s crispy outside and full of flavour inside. Smoked ham flavours are generally complemented by a dry rose such as the Rigamarole Rose with its fruity flavours but crisp dry finish. 2 medium russet potatoes 1 medium onion 1 c. 250 ml) minced ham 3 tbsp. (45 ml) chives drizzle of oil 2 eggs 1/3 c. (75 ml) plain yogurt 2 tbsp. (30 ml) flour 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) salt 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) pepper Pre-heat oven to 400 F. Scrub potatoes. Chop onion and mince ham and
chives. (You could substitute green onions.) Drizzle a little oil in a pan on medium heat and soften the onion. Add all but a spoonful of the minced ham and warm it through. Coarsely grate the potatoes and squeeze out any moisture and discard it. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Then mix in the yogurt (I use fat-free), flour, salt, pepper and two spoonfuls of chives. Add potatoes, onions and ham and combine well. Spray a large, deep pie pan or medium, shallow casserole dish with oil and press the potato mixture into it. Top with the remaining spoonful of minced ham. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325 F and bake for 50 minutes longer, or until the pie is brown on top. Garnish with the remaining spoonful of chives or green onions and cut into wedges to serve. Serves 4.
Chicken/Turkey Quesadillas We roasted a chicken one day and had some left over, so the next day, we made quesadillas for dinner. If you still have a bit of turkey meat lurking in your freezer, use it. Substitute whatever vegetables you have in the fridge and that interest you. Even let everyone make up their own fillings. You can use smaller tortillas and make more quesadillas too. Have a glass of the Ganton & Larsen Prospect Winery Major Allan Merlot with this. Its rich, plummy flavours are a good match with the barbecue sauce and chicken. 1 c. (250 ml) cooked chicken 2 tbsp. (30 ml) barbecue sauce 2 large green onions 1/2 c. (125 ml) mozzarella cheese 1/4 c. (60 ml) cheddar cheese 1/2 onion 2 mushrooms 1/3 c.(75 ml) zucchini 1/2 red pepper 1/2 green pepper chili powder salt and pepper 4 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
Shred cooked chicken or turkey and coat with a favourite barbecue sauce. Set aside. Slice green onions and grate some cheese. You could substitute Monterey Jack cheese or whatever is a favourite. Set aside. Chop up half an onion, a couple of mushrooms, a few inches of zucchini and sweet peppers. Drizzle a little oil in a frypan and soften the onion over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, then the zucchini and later, the chopped peppers. Sprinkle with chili powder and salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside and heat a cast iron griddle or 8-inch frypan with a heavy bottom over medium-high heat. Give it a light spray with oil and lay one of the tortillas down. Spread half the grated cheese evenly, then half the onion mixture and top with green onions and chicken. Top with another tortilla and press down with a flipper. Cook just until the bottom is brown and the cheese is melted and flip carefully to brown the other side. Remove from the pan to a cutting board and slice into wedges. Serve hot. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serves 4.
