REMEMBRANCE DAY
Memories of war few others can understand Kathy Michaels
SECOND World War veteran Tom Morimoto with his granddaughter Ariel, who is holding a copy of her grandfather’s personal memoir, Breaking Trail.
STAFF REPORTER
When Canada took its place among Allied Forces and stormed Juno Beach on June 6, 1944, an unlikely soldier was in the mix. Kelowna resident Tom Morimoto, now 94, had squeaked into Canada’s Armed Forces years earlier, at two inches too small, nearly 20 pounds too light and entirely of Japanese descent. “I was the only Japanese Canadian there,” he said, explaining his unique position among the thousands of Canadians taking part in D-Day could be attributed in part to recruitment officials back home who were content to look the other way when it came to his apparent shortcomings. Morimoto, who was ultimately assigned to the role of radio operator with the Third Canadian Division, had also enlisted in 1940, before the Japanese became allies with Germany, and Japanese Canadians were funneled into internment camps. “I was patriotic and at that time the Germans were overrunning Europe,” he said. “It was the last good war. We had to fight that one against the Nazis and then the Japanese.” That patriotism changed the course of his life. It took him away from his home in Fort McMurray, across the country for training and to England for a tour of duty. By the time he reached the beaches of Normandy, he’d been a soldier for over four years. The sea-born invasion required 155,000 soldiers, 5,000 ships and landing craft, 50,000 vehicles and 11,000 planes. Around 14,000 Canadian soldiers were to land on the beaches, while another 450 were to drop behind enemy lines by parachute or glider. The Royal Canadian Navy supplied ships and around 10,000 sailors, while the Royal Canadian Air Force supported the invasion. “When dawn broke on 6 June, it revealed an unforgettable sight—thousands of ships, seeming to reach forever across the sea, with the barrage balloons hoisted to keep off low flying enemy aircraft,” he wrote in his memoir, Breaking Trail. “It was with a mixture of excitement and fear that I approached the beach on D-Day. I think what keeps every soldier going is that he doesn’t think he’ll be hit—it’s the other unfortunate guy who is going to get it.”
KATHY MICHAELS/CAPITAL NEWS
His boat arrived on the beach’s shores an hour after the first wave of soldiers landed and, without much strife, they set up camp near what’s now the Canadian cemetery Beny-SurMer and stayed there for months. Morimoto survived near starvation, non-stop fire and being outclassed in terms of equipment over the course of the long campaign. They even survived communication shortcomings that led to friendly fire.
“Because of poor liaison between the Air Force and the Army over the significance of yellow smoke signals, bombs were dropped on our troops,” he wrote. “It was the first time I had ever been so close to a Lancaster bomber that I could see the bombbay doors open and the bombs dropping. This was near Falaise, and I remember seeing men on bicycles pedalling as hard as they could down the road, back to Caen.”
His divisional commander Major General Rodney Keller, who also has a Kelowna connection, was felled by the American bombs, and many others died near the sandy stretch where they had landed just months earlier. At the end of the two-and-a-half month Normandy campaign, Allied killed, wounded or captured totalled 210,000. Canadian casualties added up to more than 18,000, including more than 5,000 dead. German casualties were 450,000. About 5,400 Canadians are buried in Normandy. Morimoto went on to have a successful life, that saw him help shape Canada’s oil and gas industry, monetize an under-utilized part of Dubai’s oil and gas before eventually making Kelowna home. In the introduction of his memoir, it’s noted that he’s been an active player in many of Western Canada’s pivotal historic moments. But, Normandy and the lives lost there still weigh on him. In recent years he’s taken his two granddaughters to the area, and walked through the rows and rows of tombstones that mark the lives of his fallen comrades. It’s something his granddaughter Ariel said she was taken aback by, noting that there were so many men who were “18, 19, 20, who never had the chance to start their lives.” Morimoto says the war and the effort put against it and the losses incurred are things that younger generations could never really understand. It’s also something that even survivors have chosen to reframe in their minds as time has gone on. “You can’t keep the memories of being afraid, or the bad dreams,” he explained.

Night of the Arts charity event ready to tickle our funnybones Get ready to laugh yourself silly on Nov. 17 at the eighth annual Night of the Arts, as the charity event will feature comedian Maureen Postnikoff.
MICE? 250-826-8430
“Maureen is outrageously funny. Night of the Arts supporters will really enjoy her show and she is the perfect addition to our event,” said Night of the Arts stage manager and musician Curtis Tulman. “Maureen is classy and tasteful in her delivery—yet also right off the wall hilarious. She is perfect for a family-oriented
showcase.” Indeed, Postnikoff’s appearance marks the first time in the event’s eightyear history that a comedian has taken part. Some locals may recognize her from the popular TV show Canada’s Worst Driver in which she appears in a minor role as mom to son (and terrible) driver Klyne. Maureen sent in her
son’s name as a nominee for the show—and Klyne was invited to take part. “I turned him in. He had it coming,” Maureen grins. Joining Postnikoff on stage will be five topnotch musical acts during the night including headliners Canadian roots/ country stars the Cruzeros. Their performance is a reunion of sorts, marking only the band’s second appearance together in the past two years. “We took a hiatus after 25 years together. All of us needed to take a breather after that amount of time touring and playing,” Tulman said. “Each of us wanted to pursue other musical projects, but we are thrilled to
be back together again. The magic is still there— in fact I think better than ever,” added Tulman, who was named Canadian Country Music Association’s Outstanding Instrumentalist three times for his harmonica and saxophone work. Also reuniting for the Night of the Arts concert/ fundraiser is the popular rock band Ten2Nine led by the dynamic vocals of Pat Brown. Other performers include folk/gospel singer Corey Doak (whose latest CD will be released the night before the concert), the tremendously talented Deb Stone Band, and a relatively new and dynamic band Joyful Door. Singer/songwriter Justin Dueck will be per-
forming in the lobby prior to the concert and during the intermission. “Joyful Door is superbly talented and music fans will quite enjoy them,” said event organizer and host Charlie Hodge. Joining Hodge as MC this year will be wellknown radio personality Kim Calloway. In addition, Kelowna artist Lynda Lovett will be painting throughout the concert on stage while the musicians play. Benefactors of this year’s event are Metro Communities, a local organization that in addition to many other community programs assists the homeless and those who are at risk in our community.
Metro members have gathered a tremendous amount of silent auction items ideal for folks looking for unique gifts for Christmas. Doors open at the Kelowna Community Theatre at 6 p.m. with the on stage concert starting at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation. Organized and hosted by Hodge and Tulman, the Night of the Arts annually brings the Okanagan’s best bands together in concert to raise awareness and funds towards assisting those in serious need. Over the past eight years, the Night of the Arts has raised thousands of dollars to assist the homeless, recovering drug addicts, and youth and families at risk.

You grab your keys, you grab your phone, could the day be on the way that the wallet just stays at home? This is what Jim Csek, of Csek Creative and Dotcom Media, postulates and it’s part of the logic behind the Mobile Revolution conference happening in Kelowna at the end of the month. “The mobile device is already the first screen in Asia,” said Csek. “And we believe we’re going to start seeing this here too.” From plastics in the ’60s to the ’80s computer revolution and ’90s foray into Internet, the way one experiences the world can change in the blink of an eye, and Csek believes it’s about to do so again. He sees a future where most people are paying for their groceries with their phone, doing their banking on their phone, shopping deals and coupons on their phone—and all on responsive websites.

NEWS ▼ ASHLEE HYATT TRIAL
Security measures Evidence at crime taken for new $20 bill scene reviewed most innovative yet Blood spatter from the night Ashlee Hyatt was killed is being used to answer questions raised in the aftermath of the alleged crime. Crown counsel Murray Kaay called upon forensic experts Tuesday and Wednesday to describe what they learned from the blood trail of a June 2, 2010 party. RCMP forensic scientist Ron Cabugao was introduced to the evidence Sept. 3, 2010, and started cataloguing immediately thereafter. A four-inch folding knife, that’s believed to have been the murder weapon, as well as a pair of jeans and a boot belonging to the 18-year-old accused were some of the first items he examined. “There were numerous blood stains on the blade and handle,” Cabugao told the jury. One blood stain was on the tip of the blade, another was on the handle and there was more on
the an upper crevice of the blade. Each of the samples he removed were then sent to a DNA expert, who identified them as belonging to Hyatt. The clothes were similarly blood-spotted. A pair of jeans and a shirt belonging to the accused had Hyatt’s blood on them. He also studied the shirt from the teenage host of the party—it was found to have spots of blood from the accused. The name of the accused and many of the witnesses are under a Youth Criminal Justice Act publication ban. Crown counsel has contended that the accused got into a fight with Hyatt during a Peachland party June 2, 2010. Hyatt had been chastising her for kissing one boy, when her boyfriend was close by. The argument escalated to a fight, and Hyatt was stabbed. The trial continues.
Money from A1 He added the bills are much more secure thanks to the high-tech security innovations that are used on all the polymer bank notes. According to bank officials, while other countries also use polymer bank notes, the Canadian ones are the first with so many innovative security features. The $20 bill is the most commonly used paper note in Canada and currently there are about 800 million in circulation. An average paper note lasts about three years in circulation said Frers, meaning the new notes will save the Bank of Canada millions in printing because the anticipated life-span of the new note is about eight years. And they are very durable. Tests were conducted in numerous ways and at temperatures ranging from minus 75 C to 140 C to make sure the notes would stand up to wear and tear. They passed with flying colours, said Frers. The central bank will gradually replace paper $20s with the polymer notes over the next two years. Following the introduction of the bills, bank representatives went to Orchard Park Shopping Centre to demonstrate the bills to merchants.

he American voters spoke with a loud and clear voice in Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election. If the election of President Barrack Obama in 2008 was about hope and change, his re-election in 2012 was about politicians too busy running the country and not acting in their own political selfinterests. The extreme conservative wing of the Republican Party was given a thrashing, particularly in the senate races, where the Wisconsin Republican right-
wing extremist was beaten by his lesbian Democratic opponent—about as severe a message voters could make about candidates putting political partisanship and social engineering ahead of the country’s best interests. Upon further examination of the results, the influence of minority voters, understood by the Democrats and not by the Republicans, delivered a blow to Mitt Romney’s seven-year mission to become president. The angry white voters lined up behind the Republicans, but
were outflanked by women, Hispanic and African American voters. The Latino vote in particular has given Obama the mandate he needs to bring true immigration reform to his country, while leaving Republicans in a quandry—anger the party’s conservative base or lose the Latino vote and any chance of sending their candidate to the White House. The voting line-ups and late election tallies in states like Florida, Ohio and Virginia were also an embarrassment for a country that is supposed to be a shin-
ing light for democracy in the world, as were the blatant attempts by Republicans to suppress the minority vote. And passage of same-sex marriage propositions in Maryland and Maine, and marijuana possession of under an ounce in three states, represented a major shift in U.S. society thinking. While politics is a bloodsport in the U.S., voters said Tuesday they are tired of it. But it remains to be seen if the politicians in Washington are ready yet to listen.

Baby boomers might feel a little guilt on Remembrance Day
T
his Sunday will mark the 52nd passing of Remembrance Day in my lifetime. Being on the back end of the socalled baby boomer era, my co-generation mates and I have lived a pretty charmed life. We have not had to face the ravages of war that spread across the globe in the Second World War, while the First World War remains an increasingly distant part of history we don’t relate to other than occasionally hearing Don Cherry talk about that “war to end all wars” while perched on his Hockey Night in Canada soapbox. But the baby boomers are further entrusted with each passing year to carry on the torch for Remembrance
Day, to pass on its significance to our children and grandchildren. Our parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins before us sacrificed mightily so we could live in the world of upward mobility we enjoy today. Those before us weren’t fighting for us to enjoy the privileges of living in big houses with a great view of Okanagan Lake, to stack our garages and driveways with every outdoor recreational toy imaginable. They were fighting for the free-
doms too many of us today take for granted. In Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election, in states like Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, people waited for Barry hours, in some cases, Gerding to vote. I think Florida is still counting votes while the country moves on. That should be a moral outage to Americans, but instead it is debated as political strategy between two rival political parties to suppress the vote. We here in Canada should not be so complacent. I don’t remember much about Remembrance Day as a
EDITOR’S NOTE
child although I’m sure it was part of our family ritual in some way. My dad was a 25-year man in the Air Force and flew in the supply airlift operation to provide aid and supplies to Britain when Nazi Germany had overtaken Europe. He doesn’t talk much about that experience. He has a brother buried in a cemetery in Holland, a tail gunner on a bomber who didn’t make it back from a mission. He doesn’t talk much about that either. When I started my journalism career many years ago, covering Remembrance Day became an annual event. From community to community in the years since, the message was always the same, celebrate and ap-
preciate what the veterans gave to this country, and don’t allow our apathy to overcome history’s lesson to not repeat past mistakes. We have lost many Canadians in Afghanistan, but our former prime minister Jean Chretien took the lesson of history to heart in not committing troops to the Iraq war. We live in an era today where world peace is actually within our realm of accomplishment. The Cold War era, the fear of nuclear war that I grew up with as a child, is largely gone. For we baby boomers to achieve that dream would be a worthy remembrance for those who lost their lives fighting for our country and our freedom. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Cartoon of Romney’s first days not comical
To the editor: I am writing in response to a picture that you published in the Capital News on Tuesday, Nov. 6. (Editor’s Note: Cartoon on A10 Opinion page.) The picture was of Mitt Romney and what he would do the first day in office. Among
the “comical” things he would do, were a number of jabs at Mitt Romney’s religious faith. One part in particular was found at the bottom corner of the comic mentioning that on day two he would be inviting his “wives” to the White House. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints, I find your decision to publish that comic extremely distasteful. As a church we do not condone polygamy in any way shape or form, those who keep instigating slander toward our faith are just as guilty as those who slander another race or religion. It is simply not accept-
able and I would hope that the Capital News would do better in the future. Our church has done wonderful things for all people around the globe, such as providing disaster relief, medical supplies, and hygiene kits, not to mention monetary relief. Even locally, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
Day Saints works with other faith and community groups to provide food for the Kelowna Food Bank every year in September. Again, please think before you publish in the future. Josh Stehmeier, Kelowna
Customer service way beyond expectation
To the editor: We live in a world where complaining is always the loudest and clearest voice we hear, but I want to tell you about our recent experience. If you live in Kelowna, then this story will convey that customer service is very much at the forefront of local businesses and as tourists we appreciate they exist. We knew something was wrong with our transmission and needed it
checked out before heading back to Vancouver. Not local to Kelowna we grabbed the Yellow Pages and found Aamco. It was Saturday morning, so we didn’t expect much, but optimistic Craig said they would take a look at it (even though they were busy). So we limped over to their location. Craig, sympathetic but realistic, advised after diagnostics that our car was not going anywhere,
but they would work on it to see if they could get us back on the road so we could get home. As the day progressed they identified it needed a part, which wouldn’t arrive till Monday or Tuesday earliest. Our hearts sank as we tried unsuccessfully to locate a car rental. It was then that Craig offered up his own personal vehicle to us. Now we are not talking about a five-minute
car ride to home, we are talking over 350 kilometres just one way. Customer service at its best is sometimes hard to find, but for Craig and his team at Aamco they have surpassed ‘best’ and created a new level of service where you will believe that nothing is impossible for them to do for you. ‘We will make it work for you,’ is sometimes a phrase used with little credence, but they did. Kelowna, I hope that
there are more service orientated businesses like Aamco, and people like Craig in your town. I also hope that people living there remember to shout about great service beyond the call of duty, so we are always reminded that customer service is what makes the difference. In the meantime, thank you Craig for being there to help us. Debbie Powell, Vancouver

No one cause for decline of salmon in Fraser
To the editor: Like most news outlets, their reporters, editors and columnists, Ms. Steeves waited until the third paragraph to join the long list commentators to highlight salmon farming as the main culprit in the collapse of the sockeye salmon in the Frazer River. (Up to MPs Now to Take Steps to Conserve B.C’s Salmon, Nov. 2 Capital News.) Ms. Steeves makes a brief, oblique reference to the other possible causes as outlined by Commissioner Cohen. We readers of the column are expected to wade through almost 2,000 pages of data to determine what the potential problems could be. I’ll save you time. Here they are as Commissioner Cohen listed them. He was quoted as saying: “a string of cumulative factors played a role,
such as contaminants in the Fraser River, development along the shores and ocean conditions that may have contributed to the long term decline as well. The salmon farming business was the last of the possibilities. It is the most obvious; science cannot predict what it cannot see and nobody knows for certain what is happening in the ocean. There are many things that could have an impact on salmon in the years before they return to their natal streams, rivers and lakes.” The commissioner also mentioned climate change and warming waters. He said these two items present daunting, long-term threats to the Fraser River sockeye fishery. Most commentators did not mention these items; they didn’t want other “stuff” (read their
opinions) to distract readers, viewers and listeners from their message. Ms. Steeves erred when she wrote that Judge Cohen “put a freeze on salmon farm production in the area (the Discovery Islands) until the scientific work is completed.” She also assumed that ‘there are impacts of such aquatic farms on migrating wild stocks.” Ms. Steeves apparently never checked with the salmon farmers themselves because they have issued a news release saying they are in favour of the Cohen Commission report. Judge Cohen is not happy that the federal government, through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is in a position of promoting the wild fishery and aquaculture. If Ms. Steeves had done her homework she would have discov-
Save the sockeye: Follow Cohen recommendations
To the editor: Re: Up to MPs Now to Take Steps to Conserve B.C’s Salmon, Nov. 2 Capital News. The many recommendations in the Cohen Report comprise an essential framework to be implemented for the survival of
the Fraser River sockeye. DFO must advocate on behalf of wild salmon and there must be a freeze on any further salmon farms which are clearly a major factor in the decline of the sockeye. Please ensure that the recommendations con-
tained in the report are followed and that essential fish habitat is given all the protection needed to ensure the survival and revival of this God-given resource before it is too late. Walley Lightbody, Kelowna
ered that Alexandra Morton, a vociferous opponent of aquaculture took the B.C. government to court so that only the federal government would have control of aquaculture in B.C. The Supreme Court agreed so the federal government appointed the DFO to oversee wild and farmed salmon. Not incidentally, Ms. Morton was forced to admit on the CBC radio program Ideas that she did not know for sure that sea lice have had a detrimental effect on wild salmon. Finally, Ms. Steeves wrote that she is convinced that all will be well, if the recommendations in the Cohen Report are enforced and she urged her readers to write politicians to get busy on this file. She wrote that she is convinced the state of the wild stocks would im-
prove markedly over time, if we are not too late. She makes no mentioned of the fact that after the 2009 collapse, one year later 35 million salmon, sockeye, pinks, chum, etc., returned to spawn. Now, how did that happened? After all, the Fraser run went past those salmon farms on their way to the North Pacific. Nobody can answer that question but it does throw a spanner into the gears of those whose mantra is: It’s all the fault of those () (^and*#^ salmon farms. We will know after 2013. Remember what Commissioner Cohen said: Determining “one cause for the 1999-2009 declines in Fraser River salmon is appealing but, improbable. Stuart Morrison, Kelowna

The cards can then be redeemed during the first two weeks of December (Nov. 30 to Dec. 13). The offer is on top of the regular flyer offers and the 15 per cent discount for those customers that sign up for a new HBC credit card.

Beyond 50 Magazine presents
on Jan. 22, 2012, with 10 per cent of their revenues going to a charity of the buyer’s choice. They partnered with over 20 local charities to fundraise for them through daily deal purchases. Their franchise business model was developed from their head office in Mississauga, Ont., with a global reach and a local footprint. They purchased the Go Sango assets (e-mail database only) on Oct. 1, but did not buy the Go Sango Corporation brand of operations. Go Sango had ceased to operate when they contacted Smart Betty to buy their assets and the acquisition was crafted to get as much money back to the merchants and customers as possible. Nationally, Smart Betty has donated more than $40,000 back to local communities. They fundraise for local non-profits, are a Canadian company and locally owned. Contact Smart Betty here in town at 778-478-0765 or 250-801-1881 (cell); or online at bmaki@smartbetty.com or www.smartbetty.com. The Rodney Hobson Karate Academy has

Ballet Kelowna fundraiser decks the halls of local home Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
A heritage home, an upscale contemporary dwelling, a house with Old World flair and a few bed and breakfasts are being dressed up for the holidays. The six privatelyowned homes are the stops on the Hot Holiday Homes self-guided tour this weekend. The event is one of three key annual fundraisers for Ballet Kelowna. “We try to find a nice variety of homes,” said Debbie MacMillan, organizer of development and events for Ballet Kelowna. “We really think we provide something that will appeal to everyone.” This is the second year Ballet Kelowna has put on Hot Holiday Homes;

however, a similar event— Homes for the Holidays— used to run annually as a Rotary Centre for the Arts fundraiser. “When they decided not to do it anymore, we picked it up and rebranded it,” said MacMillan. “It’s the kind of event that a city needs.” Most of the homes are being decorated by local designers to give visitors a few ideas of how to deck out their own homes this Christmas.
MacMillan said tickets are also often snatched up by those interested in remodeling their home or building a new house. This year, 11 interior design students from the Centre for Arts and Technology have been working with the designers to get hands-on experience as part of their course mark. “They’re enjoying learning from the designers and we’re loving their energy, enthusiasm and all the fresh ideas they’re bringing to us.” Participants in the tour will be given a map indicating the six locations of the East Kelowna homes. In addition to the house tours, there will also be wine tastings, food samplings and musical entertainment. Ballet Kelowna is hoping this year’s version

Dogs caught running deer can be destroyed, if they’re caught, and their owners can be fined, warns the conservation officer service. CO Ed Seitz says an owner on Huckleberry Road out Highway 33 was warned after his dogs were chasing wildlife because it can kill the deer, even if the dogs don’t. “Well-fed, well-rested dogs who are left outside to run at large during the day while folks are away from home, in deer winter range, can do a lot of harm,” said Seitz. “The deer have limited resources and when they use up their energy that way they can die from exposure,” he explained. It’s particularly damaging later in the year when the does are pregnant with their fawns, he said, because they can abort their young under that kind of stress. It’s illegal for dogs to run any kind of wildlife under the Wildlife Act, he said. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

SPORTS Fowlie nets a second chance in major junior league with Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
MARISSA BAECKER/CONTRIBUTOR
OVER-AGE forward Cody Fowlie scored three goals in his first six games with the Kelowna Rockets.
When the Everett Silvertips dropped Cody Fowlie off their roster last month, the over-age forward figured his major junior career just might be over for good. Thankfully for the Airdrie, Alta. native, it wasn’t long before another Western Hockey League club came calling. After a brief threegame stint with the BCHL’s Vernon Vipers, the Kelowna Rockets laid claim to the 6-foot, 200-pound Fowlie on Oct. 22. With a pair of 20-yearold players on the shelf with injuries, the Rockets needed some veteran assistance. Fowlie was all too happy to oblige. “It was tough at first when I got cut in Everett, but you have to hope you’re going to get other opportunities,” said Fowlie, who is in his third
WHL season. “I was a little disappointed at being out of the WHL, but when Mr. (Bruce) Hamilton called me I was really excited about coming to Kelowna. Now I just have to make the most of the opportunity that’s been given to me.” And it didn’t take all that long for Fowlie to get comfortable in his new surroundings. Playing on a line with Rourke Chartier and Filip Vasko, he had three goals, four points and a +4 rating in his first six games as a Rocket. Kelowna head coach Ryan Huska said Fowlie has been a positive addition for the hockey club, on and off the ice. “I think he’s progressed nicely,” Huska said. “He’s brought what we thought he’d bring, he plays with energy, he’s a hard guy to play against and he’s giving us some offense as well. “He enjoys being
around the rink, he’s very positive and has a strong attitude. You need that from a 20-year-old.” Fowlie clearly hopes his move to Kelowna will be more than temporary and he will finish his WHL career in Rockets colours, But with four 20-yearold players on the roster— Fowlie, Dylen McKinlay, J.T. Barnett and Mitchell Chapman—one will eventually have to be released. Once Barnett (lower body, 2 weeks) and Chapman (leg, one month) return to health, the Rockets will have a decision to make on who stays and who goes. “It feels like being back in training camp again,” Fowlie said with a laugh. “All of us have to make the most of our opportunities and play our hardest every game. Whatever the GM and coaches decide to do, that’s the way it’s going to be.
“This is a second chance for me, so I’m not taking anything for granted,” he added. From the head coach’s perspective, parting with one of the over-aged veterans will be a difficult decision but one that can’t be avoided. “It makes for good competition and you want that, but unfortunately one of them will have to go,” said Huska. “Each of them will have an opportunity to solidify their position with our hockey club. We’ll have a tough decision to make on which young man we have to let go, but that’s part of the game.” The Rockets will close out a four-game home stand Friday against the Red Deer Rebels. Then, after a week off, Kelowna will head to TriCity for two games with the Americans, Nov. 23 and 24. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna duo helps UBC to title defense Before jetting off to Trinidad and Tobago this week as members of Team Canada, Natalie Sourisseau and Abi Raye celebrated yet another Canadian Interuniversity Sport field hockey title. The Kelowna products both played key roles in helping the UBC Thunderbirds to their second consecutive national women’s university championship. The T’Birds defeated hometown University of Toronto 3-0 in the CIS final on Sunday afternoon. “It feels pretty good,” Sourisseau said of the second straight gold-

medal win. “It was definitely a challenge for us playing on the field turf, but the girls did a great job and played well all tournament.” Sourisseau garnered accolades for her play at nationals by being named to the tournament all-star team. It capped off a solid year all year around for the 19-year-old midfielder and KSS grad who was also named a CIS all-Canadian last week for the first time in her threeyear university career. “There are so many talented girls on the UBC team, any one of them

could have won those awards,” said Sourisseau. For Raye, 21, it was her third CIS title with the T’Birds in four years. Sourisseau and Raye left Wednesday for Port-of-Sapin, Trinidad and Tobago where Canada will play in the FIH World League Round 1. Fellow KSS grad and national team member Dani Hennig won’t make the trip due to a broken thumb. With the Canadian senior team, Raye has 74 caps, Hennig has 42 and Sourisseau, 29.

Key November for Scott rink Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Refining their game for another run at nationals and racking up some valuable ranking points are the priorities for Kelly Scott and her Kelowna rink as they hit the ice for two major events in the next two weeks. The five-time B.C. women’s curling champs will be in Saskatoon this weekend for the Colonial Square Ladies Classic. Forty-eight teams, featuring most of the world’s top rinks, will vie for 13 qualifying spots and $54,000 in prize money. A week later, Scott and Co. will head to Brantford, Ont., for the $50,000 Masters of Curling Sun Life Classic. Currently in 14th place in the Canadian Tour Ranking System, Scott would like to get back into the top 10 to enhance her team’s chances of qualifying for the Olympic pre-trials in Kingston, Ont., in November 2013. The Kelowna curlers also have designs on making it to Kingston
this coming February for the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. “Our main goal right now is to get back to the Scotties,” said Scott, who reached last year’s national Scotties final in Red Deer before losing to Heather Nedohin. “Beyond that, we want to shoot for a berth in the trials for the (2014) Olympics. Points are hard to come by, so you need to try and play in these bigger events.” Because Scott, third Schraeder, and second Sasha Carter all have young families, the team has to be somewhat more selective in the number and timing of events the team plays in. The Kelowna women have set two events per month as the maximum workload. “Being moms, we can’t be on the road all the time, so we have to balance things the best we can and keep it in perspective,” she said. “Even playing a little less than we used to, we still feel can be competitive.” The Scott rink has a new lead this season in Sarah Wazney, who
relocated to Kelowna from Winnipeg. Because there wasn’t ice in Kelowna during the first three cash events of the season, quality practise time with their new teammate has been limited. “Sarah really just stepped in cold and now she’s just getting settled in,” Scott said. “We’re really happy with the way things have been going, given the short time we’ve had together. Every tournament we play we’re going to get to know each other and work together better.” Due to work commitments, third Jeanna Schraeder won’t make the trip to Saskatoon this week, but will be available for Brantford. Ex-Olympian Carolyn Darbyshire—a former member of the Cheryl Bernard rink—will fill in for Schraeder at the Saskatchewan spiel. As the defending provincial champ, Scott will have an automatic into the 2013 B.C. Scotties in January in Cloverdale.

Owls golden at Elliot tourney
Photos by Doug Farrow
With both the Okanagan championship and provincials in the not-toodistant future, the Kelowna Owls senior boys’ volleyball squad has picked a pretty good time to round into form. KSS is coming off its best weekend of competition this season, going undefeated to win the George Elliot senior boys’ tournament. The Owls capped off a stellar weekend of volleyball with a victory over No. 4 Earl Marriott in the championship final, 2518. 25-17, 25-21. On the way to the gold medal match Kelowna rolled over its opponents, sweeping past OKM, Pen Hi, and Langley Christian, 3-0 in each match. “KSS had a great tournament, finally putting it all together,” said Owls’ coach Mike Sodaro. The Owls Tyler Pomietlarz was named the tournament’s MVP. “He did an amazing job of running the offense
for the team,” Sodaro said of Pomielartz. Kelowna’s Ty Campbell and Brendan Bourcier were both named to the tournament’s all-star team. Mt. Bocuherie placed 10th, the host GES Coyotes were 11th, Kelowna Christian took 13th and the OKM Huskies placed 14th.
BRONZE FOR KSS GIRLS The KSS Owls girls volleyball squad won the bronze medal at the Riverside senior girls Red Serge volleyball tournament. In the third-place match on Saturday night, the Owls took down No. 1-ranked Heritage Woods. The defending B.C. AAAA champion Owls
went on a dominating run through the early stages of the tourney, pounding out a 6-0 record with wins over No. 2 South Delta, Charles Best, No. 5 Riverside, Penticton and McMath. In the semis, KSS lost its only match to South Delta, falling in the third set 15-13. “We didn’t play our best,” coach Tony Sodaro said of the semifinals, but calledvit a “great weekend overall.” Owls’ Cayte Wilson was named to the tournament all-star team. The Owls, ranked No. 4 in the province, will now prepare for the Okanagan Valley AAAA championship, Nov. 16 and 17 at South Kamloops.

The Lions had a bye last week after finishing second in the conference during the regular season. The Sun Devils advanced with a 13-7 quarterfinal win over Salmon Arm last Sunday. The Sundevils had rushing touchdowns from Shamus Hogarth and Jacob Zimmerman. “Once again it was a strong defense that would win this one for the Sundevils,” said coach Chris Orban. A late interception by Cole Orban ended any chances for the Colts. The other peewee
semifinal features Kamloops and Vernon.

The Kelowna Lions will play for the B.C. 9-man atom football championship this weekend. On Saturday in Kamloops, the SIFC champion Lions will take on the Vanderhoof Vikings in the title game.

or with Big West Wrestling. Jefferies will be inducted by 19-year veteran, Vance Nevada. There is also an opportunity for potential pro wrestling hopefuls to take part in an open tryout, prior to the show. The tryout is slated to take place at 5 p.m. at Rutland Centennial Hall, and is limited to men and women aged 18 and over. Please contact Big West promoter, Martin Solotki, at 250-8019442 to book your spot, prior to Nov. 11. As far as wrestling action is concerned, there are several matches on tap when the doors open at 7 p.m. Newly-crowned Big West Television Champion, Collin Cutler will make his first defense of the title against Adam Ryder. A native of Kelowna, Cutler finally bested the much-disliked KC Andrews to take the strap on Oct. 13. Andrews had held the title for six months, using every nefarious trick in the book to do so; he teams with Kyle Sebastian, to face the duo of Artemis Spencer and Tony Baroni in a match that many believe could be a Western Canadian Match Of The Year candidate. Sebastian and Spencer recently battled to a 20-minute draw in Clover-
dale that wowed the Lower Mainland crowd. Also on hand will be Raven Lake, the first-ever Canadian National Wrestling Alliance (CNWA) Womens Champion; she too won the title last month, right here in Kelowna. One of the biggest fan-favorites in the area, Lake will have her hands full against Nicole Matthews: arguably the best female wrestler in Canada, and recently ranked by Pro Wrestling Illustrated as one of the top 50 women wrestlers in the entire world. Other matches will see Black Dragon, Ravenous Randy, Matt Hart, and several others in action. Tickets to the show are $15 for limited front row seating, $12 general admission, and $10 for students and seniors. Children aged 5 and younger are free with the price of a general admission ticket (and must be accompanied by an adult), and there is also free admission to all active and retired military, in honour of Remembrance Day. Advance tickets are available at Players Choice Sportscards & Collectibles and Valley Pawnbrokers, or go online to BigWestWrestling.com for more information.

Big West to unveil Okanagan Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame Big West Wrestling celebrates its one-year anniversary on Sunday, Nov. 11. On that night, at Rutland Centennial Hall, the Kelowna-based organization plans to honour its past while simultaneously looking to the future. At a show dubbed It’s All About Respect, Big West will unveil a new Okanagan Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame, with the first two inductees both being from Kelowna: Kevin Jefferies and the late Tom (E.T.) Stanton. Stanton passed away five years ago, but his wife, Deb, and daughter, Candis, are both very active as volunteers for Big West Wrestling here in Kelowna. Stanton was well-respected by his peers for being a modest man who worked hard in the ring, and always gave the crowd its money’s worth. He will be inducted by long-time friend and 25-year wrestling veteran, Michelle Starr. Jefferies may have retired from active wrestling competition many years ago, but he is still a respected referee throughout B.C. and Alberta, and is a mentor to many of the up-and-coming young stars in Western Canada.

Midget Rockets claim Fall Classic
A 7-3 loss to the Hollyburn Huskies in the round robin served as both a wake-up call and motivation for the Kelowna Fripp Warehousing Rockets. In a rematch of the two teams in the final, the Rockets blitzed Hollyburn 7-0 to capture the Kelowna Midget Tier 1 Fall Classic title. It’s the second year in a row the Rockets have won the tournament and their second tournament win of the 2012-13 season. In the gold medal game Sunday at Memorial Arena, Brandon Barnes led the way with two goals and an assist, while Gage Colpron scored twice. Mark Ridley was a force on the back end and chipped in with three assists. Tanner Campbell added a goal and an assist while Braeden Cyra and Trevor Pereverzoff round-
ed out the goal scoring. Chris Turner earned the shutout in goal. “Kelowna’s well balanced attack and solid D along with steady goaltending found its form as the tourney evolved and showed its best in the tournament final,” said Rockets coach Eric Blais. “This is the Rockets’ second straight tournament championship, as they won the Kamloops Invitational early in October on Thanksgiving weekend.” In the semifinal, the Rockets defeated Prince George 3-2, as Adam Beatty scored the winner with just over four minutes left in the game. In other round robin games, Kelowna beat Notre Dame 5-2 and North Shore 6-1. Cyra had four goals and two assists in the two games, Beatty had two
goals and four assists, and Kobe Oishi had five points. Kristian Blumenschein, Arlyn Semeschuk, Keaton Hodgson, Steven Fiust, Erick Noh, Austin Lindsay and Steven Hawes also had points during the weekend, while Sam Bobyn also earned a win in the Kelowna net. This weekend, Fripp will play the Winfield juveniles on Friday and POE on Saturday.

Business leaders need actual time to lead
S
about workload priorities and performance expectations. And really listen to what they tell you. If the message is that there is too much work expected to be done withLaurie in a reasonable work day Mills time-frame then it’s time to start looking at what is being asked from them. It’s also time to start looking for ways to work smarter (and yes, not harder). Delegating work may be a reasonable option provided there are enough people to share the load. If you don’t have enough people to get the work done well without burning them out too, then hire more people. If you can’t do that, then let some of the work go. So, what if some day-to-day tasks get scaled back? Figure out what is absolutely critical and make that the priority. Under close scrutiny it is likely some work is not adding value and can actually be dropped altogether. Leadership positions are complex. There are always tasks associated with them and these will vary greatly depending on the size, structure and nature of the organization. The role itself though, is meant to be strategic, to be more of an overseer and to ensure the organization is able to achieve its goals. So, if you have good leaders in place, let them lead. Don’t fill their time for them. They already have plenty to do. Rather, allow them enough space to step back, reflect and re-charge regularly so that they can continue to shine in their roles.

Thanks to the generosity of those who play online games at Hoopla. com, more people around the world will soon have the opportunity to receive the gift of hearing. Hoopla.com is a free, online gaming website where players can “Game for Good” by donating Hoops, which are the points they earn playing games, to charity. The company, which has a head office in Kelowna, turns those virtual donations into real charitable contributions. In October, Hoopla. com offered members of its player community the opportunity to make their virtual donations count for even more, by pledging a $5,000 bonus contribution to the charity that received the most Hoops by the end of the month. “We were already im-
pressed with the passion for helping others our players demonstrate on a daily basis by donating Hoops to our charitable partners, but when we gave them the chance to use their donations as a way of voting for their favorite cause to receive a bonus contribution, they really rose to the challenge,” said Hoopla.com president Duane Lockwood. When the donations were counted, Starkey Hearing Foundation, which gives away more than 100,000 hearing aids to people in need each year, and promotes hearing health awareness and education around the world, came out on top, with more than 8.6 million Hoops donated. “We are excited the Hoopla.com player community cast their votes for

everal of my coaching clients lately have told me they are completely overwhelmed by work. These are highly competent leaders who are known for being organized and productive. They know what needs to be done and how to do it; they just can’t keep up with the pace. The fact that they are feeling like they’re drowning in work is a big concern. It should worry employers when their leaders get overloaded with work and feel they don’t have the physical and mental resources to get everything done. These are talented people who want to do things well and to feel good about what they accomplish. It is a problem for everyone if these leaders continue to work harder without seeing light at the end of the tunnel, because they will falter. Potential burnout is just a matter of time and that can take a serious toll on everyone impacted by it. Often employers don’t realize that every time they ask for another report, schedule another meeting or launch another change project, what is already a full plate for their leaders overflows. That’s when things start getting missed or mistakes happen because it is simply too much for one person to manage. So what can be done? And no, the answer is not to find them a bigger plate. First, stop giving your leaders more and more tasks. Chances are they will do them and they may not ever complain or push back but one day you’ll find they’re not fully engaged anymore because they’re completely exhausted. Before it’s too late, check in with your leaders. Find out what they need from you to succeed. Have regular, honest conversations

How to invest like a dragon E ver watch the TV show Dragon’s Den? If you haven’t, the premise is simple: Entrepreneurs pitch their ideas and products to a panel of proven investors (the dragons), whose interest, or lack thereof, can make or break the entrepreneurs’ dreams. Most investors have simple criteria: Is there a market for this product or idea? Perhaps more importantly, will there be one in the future? It’s one thing to identify a demand that exists now. But the most successful investors try to envision where the market is going. In some ways, investing in B.C.’s economy is the same. We have to train and prepare British Columbians for the jobs of tomorrow. It’s important to not get carried away by the analogy, as it only goes so far. A responsible government invests in the future because it’s the right thing to do. But for dragons and governments alike, the key to long-term success is to make investments for the future, more so than the present. This brings me to a subject near and dear to my heart—our gov-
ernment’s recent $28 million investment in Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus to expand and renovate trades training facilities. Once completed, Norm Letnick the new trades complex will be able to accommodate up to 2,408 students and apprentices, up from the current capacity of about 2,280. I take great interest in the college, not just because I’m a business instructor there (on leave). Like good dragons, we made this investment with an eye to the future. That future will include vastly more jobs in the trades—and if British Columbians are to have opportunities to capitalize on those careers, they’ll need training. We’re not talking about a minor or temporary jump in trades jobs, but a massive shift: Of the one million job openings ahead, fully 43 per cent will need trades and technical training. The expansion at Okanagan College has been a key part of that investment. In addition to that, our government has made over $63 million in capital investments at Okanagan College since 2005.
MLA’S REPORT
That includes the Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Building Technologies and Renewable Energy Conservation at the Penticton campus, and renovation and expansion of the trades facility at the Salmon Arm campus. Those investments are part of our Skills and Training Plan, a provincewide commitment to industry training. That includes some $100 million per year through the Industry Training Authority – and while it’s still early days, the evidence suggests the plan is working. The number of apprentices in B.C. has more than doubled, from about 14,000 in 2004 to approximately 32,000 in 2012. Those 32,000 apprentices— enough to fill Prospera Place fourand-a-half times over—will be well-positioned for the jobs and careers coming to B.C. Smart dragons don’t stop at one investment, and neither will we. In the weeks and months to come, you’ll hear about many more investments in B.C.’s future. Not because it’s good TV—but because we want to create an environment where tomorrow’s young dragons have every chance to succeed. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country.

Pritchard family donates $200,000 The Colin and Lois Pritchard Foundation has made a generous gift of $200,000 to the B.C. Cancer Foundation to kickstart an innovative breast cancer treatment pilot project at the B.C. Cancer Agency Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Centre for the Southern Interior. The project is researching high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy for breast cancer, and aims to improve patient convenience and reduce side effects through more targeted and precise methods of treatment. HDR brachytherapy is an emerging cancer treatment that sends a precise dose of radiation directly to a patient’s tumour through tiny catheters, and reduces treatment time by 2.5 weeks compared to conventional radiotherapy for breast cancer. The family was inspired to support cancer research at the B.C. Cancer Agency after learning
more about what some women experience with breast cancer. “We knew this was a quality investment, and we are happy to support the life-saving cancer research happening in our community. We are comforted to know that patients are in excellent care here, and we hope one day this new type of treatment becomes a mainstream option for patients with breast cancer,” said Alison Moscrop, the director of the Colin and Lois Pritchard Foundation, and the daughter of Colin and Lois. A portion of their gift will also support a partnership with the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine’s Southern Medical Program, to provide medical students an opportunity to participate in this exciting research project. “With the support of philanthropic leaders like The Colin and Lois Prit-

Information sought about poached moose Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
If you were in the area of Little White Forest Service Road Tuesday morning, conservation officers would like to speak to you about two moose that were taken. Conservation officer Ed Seitz said someone in the area reported finding gut piles of a smaller and larger moose Tuesday morning, near the end of Little White Road, off June Springs Road. Seitz figures it was a cow and calf moose, when only spike fork bull moose are in season in that area right now. The meat was taken, he said. That makes the fourth and fifth moose shot illegally so far this season in this area, he said. If you have any information that might be helpful in their investigation, you’re asked to call the Report All Poachers and Polluters toll-free line at: 1-877-9527277. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Transition from books to computers Retiring executive director Lesley Dieno steered the Okanagan Regional Library into the new technology era Judie Steeves
1989 by the executive committee of the board that it was decided an automated system was needed so that all branches would have access to the book catalogue. Installation was completed in 1991, with the help of a provincial grant, and it was the beginning of computer use. Dieno says when she began there she had a part-time secretary who used a typewriter, and it was 1991 or 1992 before she got a computer. Automation actually made a much bigger difference in the rural areas than in the cities that are part of this wide-ranging library system which includes the Okanagan, Shuswap, Similkameen, west to Princeton and Hedley and east to Golden, she notes. The library’s board has always felt it was important to provide equitable service across that vast system, even though it’s very expensive sometimes to keep services up at remote branches, she explains. “It’s difficult and expensive. There’s been some grumbling about the concept, but it’s a principle with the ORL,” she said. Ironically, “once you automate, the ball starts rolling and it goes faster and faster. It’s going pretty fast right now,” she
STAFF REPORTER
When Lesley Dieno started as executive-director for the Okanagan Regional Library system 25 years ago, computers were almost unheard-of, and the book budget had just been chopped in half. She was just the third director since the system was created in 1936 and she came aboard just as the economic bubble burst, and money for public frills like libraries was in short supply. “In those days there was a small computer system to print the book catalogue on tractor-fed paper, but it hadn’t been printed in two years because the ORL couldn’t afford it,” she recalls. And, by computer, she doesn’t mean a hand-held device like today’s, but one that required an entire room of its own. There were four computers at headquarters, one in the Kelowna branch and that was it. The remaining 30 branches didn’t have computers or information about what was available. To hold a book required a paper hold slip and there was no information exchanged between branches. Books had to be returned to the same branch they were borrowed from. It was at a retreat in

comments. While the system had an automated circulation system at the beginning of 2000, the Internet became quite a force, and in general use, and it’s still growing. When the new Kelowna branch was built in 1996, there was no computer lab included. So one had to be added in, but now that lab is

well used,” she says. It’s been quite a steep learning curve for the ORL’s top executive too, Dieno admits. She’s retiring next month and says it’s time

new blood was brought in to give the system a boost. When she began with the ORL, it was as a generalist, but then she had to throw off responsibilities to specialists. The times when she would fill in for a librarian soon ended. During her time at the helm she figures every branch’s building has either been replaced, with a move to larger facilities, or renovated. “We have to do two a year. Generally each lasts for 15 years,” she explains. Last year it was a new facility in Vernon and an expansion in Westbank, and next year Summerland is on the list, and perhaps a renovation of the main Kelowna branch. Over the years the population in the ORL region has grown, but more in the urban than rural areas. It’s gone from 275,000 to 370,000 people. Each year 3.3 million items are circulated now, and it’s not just books, but e-books, audio books, CDs and DVDs. “Customers are taking to new technology well,” she comments. The ORL is a very

cost-efficient operation, she notes. She estimates it costs taxpayers 20 per cent less than most in the province. “Keeping costs down is an ongoing issue,” she admits. Over the years, there have been openings and closures of branches, but one achievement she’s particularly happy about is the inclusion now of two First Nations on the board, the Westbank First Nation and the Penticton Indian Band. Both pay for library services on a similar basis to the board’s municipal members. Overall, she says it’s been really enjoyable, with constant change over the course of her 25 years with the ORL—enough to make it interesting. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Q A.S. Matheson Guide to Daily Happiness
Filling a bucket with a ‘Smile’ Every year, A.S. Matheson has a theme that we use to tie together a lot of the ‘teachings’ that we as a staff use to motivate and inspire our students. This year our theme is “Have You Filled A Bucket Today? – A Guide to Daily Happiness For Kids.” Filling a Bucket means that we all need to learn how to be kind to others, to treat others the way that we want to be treated, and to always be aware of how our actions can affect others, both positively and negatively.

By bettering yourself and knowing that your actions are making a difference, all of the students at A.S. Matheson can be leaders. The students and parents of A.S. Matheson enjoy being at our school, and realize that our staff has their best interests at heart. At A.S.M., we use a school-wide Behaviour Support system called PBIS (Positive Intervention Behaviour Support) that shows our students what behaviour is expected from them in a variety of school situations. The goal of our PBIS program

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ TONIGHT AT KCT
‘The idea is to live the song as opposed to just performing it’ Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Vancouver singersongwriter Dan Mangan has played several times in Kelowna over the years. From the Keloha music festival last summer to earlier appearances at smaller venues such as the Habitat, the Minstrel Cafe and the Blue Gator, Mangan is certainly no stranger to the Okanagan. But tonight, Mangan plays at the Kelowna Community Theatre for the first time, continuing a trend that has seen him garner Juno awards, critical acclaim and an increased fan base since the release of this third full album, 2011’s Oh Fortune. “We’ve had an incredible couple of years,” said Mangan in an interview with the Capital News. “We’ve had the opportunity to step up into these larger venues which is amazing and exciting. It changes the dynamic a
little bit but it’s about the same thing: It’s about going on a journey from the beginning of the show until the end for everybody.” For Mangan the journey from coffeehouses to theatres has featured three full-length studio albums and a touring schedule that has seen him spend the majority of his time on the road, honing a style of music that has morphed from solo performances in the true spirit of singersongwriter to this current tour, which will see a sixpiece band joining Mangan on stage. Still, it is and always has been about the connection between band and audience that comes through in Mangan’s shows. “For us it’s fairly philosophical when we play,” he said. “You don’t just go up and recite music. To make it good for us and for the audience you have to try and live every moment and find that unconscious
state of transference. The idea is to live the song as opposed to just performing it. Hopefully it creates moments when you are truly connected with the other people on stage and the audience. It’s amazing when it happens.” Mangan’s rise in popularity across the country can be at least partly attributed to a growing fan base cultivated by the nation’s public broadcaster CBC. His genre-busting style has seen his music played on all three of the CBC’s radio stations Radio 1, 2 and 3. He has also been spotlighted on www. music.cbc.ca, including a documentary on Mangan’s concert at the Orpheum in Vancouver, a place he had always dreamed of playing. “I’m a huge advocate of the CBC,” he said. “I grew up listening to the CBC. I think it’s a total treasure and I’m disheartened that it keeps getting hacked and slashed.
CONTRIBUTED
DAN MANGAN with opening act The Rural Alberta Advantage, are at the Kelowna Community Theatre tonight starting at 8 p.m. I think it’s important to maintaining a sovereign culture that isn’t just a carbon copy of the United
States.” Mangan’s unique style will be on display tonight (Nov. 8) at the Kelowna Community The-
atre when he brings his cross-Canada tour to Kelowna, along with opening act The Rural Alberta
Advantage. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are through Ticketmaster. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Amy has been working in the kitchen as a baker for the past couple of years at Bean Scene HQ. When recently presented with the opportunity to own their own shop at Capri Mall, they jumped on it. Former-

Like a family, Amy and Al explain the incredible support and handson training provided by Deb and John who ensure that their new coffee house owners are comfortable in their new roles.
It is a unique culture and a strong brand that focuses on building a strong team. Besides fabulous coffee, this Bean Scene Coffee House (like the rest of the shops) offers delicious food delivered from HQ’s kitchen/bakery. Their offerings are made with locally sourced, in seasonal ingredients (whenever possible) and they choose to use “only real and pro-
nounceable ingredients” like real butter. There are no hydrogenated fats used. The menu includes the usual cafe sweet treats but also has light lunch options like panini sandwiches and delicious healthy alternatives like the Buddha Bowl. Great options to take back to the office for lunch. They even use sustainable

According to Statistics Canada, Caring Canadians, Involved Canadians 2010 Report, 53 per cent of us formally volunteer with an average of 248 hours given annually. That compares to 49 per cent of B.C. residents, aged 15 years and older, giving 178 hours, and 47 per cent of Canadians giving 156 hours each year. We will take time to celebrate all volunteers April 21-27 for Canada’s National Volunteer Week. The tagline has just been announced by Volunteer Canada as: Volunteers Cast a Beautiful Shadow. It is a week-long celebration whereby registered charities, not-forprofit organizations and volunteer centres pause to thank and recognize their volunteers.

Remembrance Day is swiftly approaching. Did you know that in 1943 a volunteer recruitment effort to enlist women for wartime voluntary service laid the foundation for our National Volunteer Week? The importance of engaging volunteers and supporting volunteer organizations now receives formal recognition worldwide. Earlier this week, Nov. 5 marked International Volunteer Managers’ Day. This day recognized those who support others as they donate their time, talent and often their treasure as well. Volunteers are not a free source of labour that magically shows up whenever needed. There is typically a person or several people behind the scenes who help organize the contributions of a group of others. Volunteer managers might be paid staff but are just as likely to be volunteers themselves. They face responsibilities similar to their counterparts in business human resource departments. The HR Council for the Nonprofit Sector has developed National Occupational Standards for Managers of Volunteer Resources which describes tasks, knowledge, skills and personal characteristics. We must be good vol-
packaging. On a recent visit, ‘roaster extraordinaire’ John gave me a tour of the coffee roaster and explained his unique “wet scrubber” attachment. The benefit of this addition to the coffee roaster is that it eliminates 1.2 million BTUs per hour of natural gas consumption from the roasting process. It was constructed

ven though Disney’s Wreck-it Ralph came out on top over the weekend grossing almost $50 million, the big story from the Mouse House is its acquisition of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise from the retiring George Lucas. At the same time, it was announced that there would be a new Star Wars trilogy (based upon Lucas’ story treatments) starting with Episode 7 in 2015. With the deal, Disney gets the rights to the three new movies plus a continuation of the theme park deals they already

as well as sound studio Skywalker Sound and LucasArts, which produces video and computer games. And although Disney has developed theme park attractions around Lucas’
other big franchise, Indiana Jones, Paramount Pictures still has a contract in place for future Jones films and it appears there are currently no active plans for a fifth movie in that series. Speaking of successful movie franchises, the most successful of all time is celebrating its 50th anniversary and sees its latest debut today in North America. Daniel Craig returns as James Bond in Skyfall which exclusively premieres tonight at the Landmark Cinemas 8 in its Xtreme auditorium (www.landmarkcinemas. com) and expands into
the Grand 10 Cinemas (where you can enter to win Bond-themed prizes) and Paramount Theatre as of tomorrow. Even though Bond’s last outing in Quantum of Solace was a box office hit, it is widely considered as one of the weakest of the series. Alternatively, Skyfall is being hailed as one of the best in which Bond’s loyalty to M (Judi Dench) is tested as her past comes back to haunt her.

to find that a hero has ‘feet of clay’ and it’s harder still to watch the fall, but this is what Flight is about. Airline pilot, Captain (Whip) Whitaker, played by Danzel Washington, in a feat of incredible skill, saves most of the 102 passengers on an ill-fated flight which, from the getgo, has mechanical problems. The touted hero is quickly investigated for his lifestyle of addictions and we, the audience are left to watch a life spiraling out of control. If the character of Whip Whitaker had been played by a lesser actor, it might have been unwatchable, but in the very capable hands of Danzel Washington, we are
drawn into his world and need to see it to the very end, even though many scenes are hard to watch. There are very few light moments in this show, and strangely the only laughs come from John Goodman’s character, Harling Mays, Whip’s drug go-to-guy. Goodman, it seems, can bring humour to even the most horrific of situations. When he says “that’s what we have in common Nurse Ratchet, we both hate me,” we have to chuckle. There were only a couple of “stars” in this film—Washington and Goodman—but British-born Kelly Reilly (of Sherlock Holmes and Pride and Prejudice fame), playing a heroin
addict, was excellent. There are no really funny lines that I can share. This is not an easy film to watch and if you already have a fear of flying, I’d avoid seeing this one as the flying scenes are particularly scary. However, if real life troubles and triumphs, tough slice-of-life messages, a surprising ending and great acting appeal to you, by all means, go see it. I hope Washington gets an Oscar nomination for this one. I give Flight four reels.

Inaugural Red Dress fundraiser aids heart and stroke foundation Ceinwen Morgan CONTRIBUTOR
A night of elegance
and poise was celebrated last Saturday night as the inaugural Red Dress Event fundraiser for the
B.C./Yukon Heart and Stroke Foundation. The event, held at the Bottega in Kelowna, was sold out with 150 guests, raising $22,000 for the foundation. Among the highlights were a silent auction, lipstick bar and a two part fashion show showcasing stunning dress wear and accessories supplied by Mavazi Apparel, Bella Clothing Boutique and several other Kelowna clothing stores. The dresses were modeled by local women of all ages who have personally been touched by either heart disease or stroke. I had the pleasure to speak with a 20-year volunteer of the heart and stroke foundation, who four years ago suffered from two heart attacks in just one week. Just one month prior to those heart attacks occurring, Carol Wargen had been told by her doctor the likelihood of having a heart attack would be doubtful due to her healthy lifestyle.

happen here in Kelowna. At the event, a young lady named Savea shared an emotional story of her best friend, Andrew, who unfortunately lost his battle against heart disease by succumbing to a heart attack at the age of 28. Savea, now a volunteer with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, offered words of wisdom which is the code she lives by—diet and exercise. Kelowna firefighters also made a generous donation and volunteered their time to help serve the dinner for the evening, provided by The Hungry Chief. “It’s always a treat
to come out in the community and to do an event that is so well organized like this, it is always fun,” said Kelowna firefighter Chris Orban. Another guest speaker, Sarah Williams, shared her courageous and shocking experience of living through a stroke at the age of 26. Her mother was also in attendance, and listening to her daughter’s story still generates emotions for her, something that was readily evident and provided a poignant moment for everyone in attendance. Williams encouraged
women to be aware of the symptoms of heart and stroke and for women to become their own nurse. She noted that one in three Canadian women will fall victim to heart or stroke. The Red Dress Event helped create greater awareness that heart disease is common amongst women of any age. “Thank you so much to everyone who supported this amazingly successful night. “We look forward to next year,” said Joanne King, with the Kelowna branch of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Furry little canine’s lesson in life takes on new meaning M
y dog Bella is the cutest dog ever, a little Shih Tzu-Bichon cross. Part teddy bear and part Ewok, she is an adorable furry four-legged soul with a very childlike and kind disposition—except for those times when the doorbell rings. Then she morphs into an over-excited psycho dog. When Bella was a puppy, her favourite toy was Freddy the Frog. Bella took Freddy everywhere with her. She would often plop Freddy down at my feet, wanting to play fetch. Bella would look up at me with her tongue hanging out in an ear-to-ear smile and a look in her eyes that clearly stated: “Throw the frog…throw the frog!” To my dog, this was an awesome game and quite often the highlight of her day. Back in 2007, I was suffering from extreme environmental illness and had moved onto a broken down houseboat in order to merely survive. I was isolated and alone, except for my dog Bella. Nightly I would phone my partner James for love and support during this difficult time.
EMOTIONAL RESCUE
Annie Hopper As one can imagine, living in isolation with an illness that doctors could not diagnose or effectively treat was very disheartening. Suffering from severe chemical and electrical sensitivities, fibromyalgia and situational depression consumed my life. Without the ability to work or socialize, and feeling like I was slowly dying a tortuous death, my illness was understandably front and centre in my mind. Even though I had once considered myself to be a very positive person, the injury to my limbic system caused the survival and threat mechanisms in my brain to become hyperactive. As a result, it constantly felt like I was being poisoned by my environment, that I was continuously under attack. Some of my senses had also morphed into super human powers to detect anything in my en-

vironment that could be a potential threat to my safety. My sense of smell, taste and ability to detect electromagnetic fields had heightened in order to protect me from danger. As well, the associated stress response was causing breakdown of many of the systems of my body. My thoughts and emotional patterns were concerned with one thing only—my survival.
Gone was the happygo-lucky Annie that many had loved and cherished. Instead, having a conversation with me would be enough to make anyone feel depressed. Then on one particular cold and rainy evening, I was standing at a phone booth, placing my nightly call to my partner James and recounting the daily battles that I struggled with. While I was recounting the challenges of my
day, James suddenly interjected. What he said to me in that moment was both shocking and brilliant. It hit me with such unpredictability that I asked him to repeat what he had said. As I stood in the chilly wet darkness of the night, this trusted voice from the other end of the phone repeated to me: “Throw the Frog! Throw the Frog!” In that moment, I “got” what he was saying. Instantly I went from
crying to laughing hysterically. In that moment I realized that I had the power to “change the channel” in my mind. And for that brief interlude, I found relief in the laughter that had replaced the unrelenting survival loop that my brain and body were stuck in. As it turns out, learning how to shift out of survival patterns and learning to “throw the frog” are
just a part of the essential tools that we use to rewire limbic system function. However, when suffering from a limbic system impairment, this can seem like defying gravity itself. It still takes great understanding of brain function, immense dedication, persistence and patience to repair the damage. Annie Hopper is a limbic system neuroplasticity specialist. info@dnrsystem.com
I HAVE NOBODY – I NEED SOMEONE My computer screen displayed a flashcard with this word written on it: “Hello!” Behind this flashcard, I could make out the chin, neck and long curly hair of a teenaged girl. The flashcard was part of a video she posted on YouTube (an internet site). Seconds later, she put the first flashcard down and revealed the next card, which read: “I’ve decided to tell you about my never-ending story.” This flashcard was followed by another until the last card was revealed. She used about 72 flashcards to tell her story. The last card read, “My name is Amanda Todd.” She had posted this video before she took her own life. Her story is tragic. The flashcards revealed that she had made some mistakes in judgment. She confessed she was regularly involved in conversations with strangers using her computer and the internet. This miracle of modern technology allowed each person to the conversation to see the other on their computer screen. Amanda allowed an unidentified male to take a compromising picture of her using his computer. He posted the compromising picture on the internet for all to see. He sent copies to Amanda’s friends. She was even contacted by law enforcement as a direct result of the posting of the picture. She lost friends and self-respect as a result. She described herself as depressed, anxious and suffering from panic disorder. She self-medicated using illegal drugs and alcohol in an effort to escape her anxiety and depression. She even engaged in what teens call “cutting” (she intentionally cut the skin on her arms). She changed schools and even moved to a different city in desperate attempts to start a new life. However, her accuser followed her and used the internet to broadcast the compromising picture to her new community. She was shunned at every turn. She felt alone. The flashcards revealed that she had made poor relational choices. Her isolation made her vulnerable to any male who might show even the slightest bit of care and attention. She became involved with a male friend who had a steady girlfriend at the time. As a result of the poor relational choice, she was ostracized and physically assaulted by the teenaged boy’s girlfriend. She crawled into a muddy ditch to escape the assault. A video of the assault was posted on the internet and spread like wildfire over the internet. Following the physical assault she felt such shame, depression and anxiety that she drank bleach. The pain was so intense that she believed that she might actually die. She was rushed to emergency. Thankfully her health was restored. The bleach incident was followed by some hateful internet communications which read: “She deserves it.” “Did you wash the mud out of your hair?” “I hope she’s dead.” The internet harassment continued for more than six months. People sent her hateful messages which included pictures of bleach bottles, Clorox labels and ditches. They taunted her and encouraged her to take her life. The flashcards revealed that she eventually received professional counseling and was prescribed medication. However, the feelings of anxiety and depression were
so overwhelming that she overdosed on her prescription medication and was hospitalized for two days as a result. The third to the last flashcard read: “I’m stuck… What’s left of me now… nothing stops.” She lamented that the compromising picture and video of her assault were on the internet forever. She could not get them back. She believed her mistakes in judgment would dog her forever. The second to the last flashcard read: “I have nobody – I need someone.” She cried out for help, for a kind ear to hear her plight and give her solace. No one responded to her plea. She saw no way out except to take her life. Amanda’s predicament brought back the memory of the plight of a 90 year old woman I met during my seminary years, while serving as an intern hospital Chaplain. Let’s call her Emma. She was alone in the hospital. Her health had taken a serious turn for the worse. She felt her vitality and life ebbing away as the doctors ran tests to diagnose the cause of her life threatening illness. During our conversation she revealed that she was a woman of faith who attended church. She confessed that she had led a hard life. She was a single mother who raised a son on her own. He lived in a city far away. He had worked hard and finished university. He had established a successful retail business with several locations. He was her pride and joy. Our conversation eventually led to her illness. She openly wondered why this illness had struck her suddenly. “Was this the hand of God?” she asked. She wondered whether she was being punished for past transgressions. She confessed that she made a living working two jobs. Six days a week she worked as a “chamber maid” in a local hotel. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights she worked as a “coat check girl” in the hotel’s posh restaurant. She had performed her duties with pride and precision. Her grateful customers often left big tips which they deposited in a box on the counter in front of the restaurant’s coat closet. The hotel manager had issued an edict: The tips deposited in the box belonged to the hotel not the staff. She further confessed that at times she was desperate for additional cash. After all, she was the mother of a growing boy who needed clothes, shoes, glasses and good food to grow on. So, from time to time, the tip box would mysteriously fall on the floor. She learned to hide some of the coins in her shoes as she knelt to pick up the tips and return them to the box. She was utterly convinced that God had a celestial video tape of every time the tip box mysteriously hit the floor and she secreted coins in her shoes. He had calculated the sum total of her ill-gotten gain and was punishing her for it. Like Amanda, she confessed: “I’m stuck… What’s left of me now… nothing stops.” By confessing her past, she too was pleading: “I have nobody – I need someone.” I need help! Help me! I asked her this question: “If Jesus were sitting here with us, right there on the bed beside you, what would you say to him?” “Well… I would say that I am sorry for what I have done…. and I would ask him to forgive me,”
was her response. “What do believe Jesus would say to you?” I questioned further. “I think he would say, “I forgive you.” I announced to her that Mathew 18:19-20 declares that when two or three come together in his name, Jesus is present among them and that whatever they pray for He will grant. If her plea for forgiveness was earnest, Jesus forgave her, not because she was a good person or merited forgiveness but because He had paid for her sins by His death on the cross. She changed that very moment. A peace and calm came over her. She could live with herself. Two days later, her son came to see her. Several days later, she left the hospital on her own steam, her physical and spiritual health restored. The truth is that both God and Emma had video tapes of her transgressions; one set in heaven and the other in Emma’s mind. Emma’s troubles caused her to run those tapes in her mind over and over again. The memories haunted, vexed and harassed her. Emma had learned another truth: there was someone out there for her – Jesus - and someone who Jesus sent to her to reveal His existence, His grace and His healing power. God shelved Emma’s celestial tapes. “As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:12). However, Emma’s tapes weren’t erased from her mind. Instead, God’s forgiveness permitted her to live with her tapes of past transgressions. What tears my heart out is that I did not hear Amanda’s plea. I was not able to declare to her that the one she needed was out there, and let me introduce her to Him. I did not have the chance to declare that through Him, she could have received the forgiveness and the solace she sought and could have learned to live with the compromising video tapes and pictures in her mind and in the outside world. Are you like Emma or Amanda? Do you need someone? Jesus is there for you. He has given you His people to be there for you, to hear your confession and announce absolution for your sins. If you hear someone say, “I have nobody – I need someone,” be a friend; tell them about Emma, Amanda and Jesus. Point them to a church near you. In Christ, Pastor Ed Skutshek

WEST
West Kelowna elementary school gets infused with arts
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
George Pringle Elementary is painting over traditional education practices with an arts-infused style it hopes will engage students. The Westside school is one of six elementary schools in the province chosen to participate in Infusion: Arts in Education. The program was created in 2010 by Legacies Now, with support from the provincial government as a legacy of the 2010 Winter Games. This year the idea was taken on and reconceptualized by ArtStarts in Schools, a nonprofit organization that promotes creativity among B.C. students. Infusion: Arts in Education is a three-year program that aims to incorporate the arts with everyday teaching methods. “The role of the program is to expand on an approach to teaching that’s called arts integration,” said Siobhan Rich, marketing and communications manager for ArtStarts in Schools. “The basic idea of it is taking art outside of the art class and showing that arts can be used to enhance the learning of different subject matters.” George Pringle Elementary principal John McMahon said he and his staff were “thrilled” when they found out they had been selected. “Bringing the arts into education for the kids is going to bring the curriculum to life,” said McMahon. “It’s a little different than sitting in a desk and working on a worksheet.” The elementary school principal noted his staff is keen to utilize arts in the classroom. “There’s a real commitment on the part of the teachers here to have arts as part of daily education—to infuse it and to reach the learning outcome,” said McMahon. During the first year, the six chosen artists meet with teach-

A Grade 5 George Pringle Elementary class (right) shows off some of the artwork they are displaying in the hallways of their school this month. ers, administrators and members of their schools’ parent advisory committees to come up with strategies, intentions and goals for future years. The artists will roll up their sleeves and get in the classrooms during the second year. They will use ideas from the planning stage to lead arts activities for the students. After observing the artists, the teachers will take over the arts-based practices in the final year of the project while artists help out in the classroom in more of a mentor role. Vernon artist Paula Scott has been matched with George
Pringle Elementary. She said she’s looking forward to the experience. “I believe in the arts and art integration in schools,” said Scott. “I love working with kids. I love their innocence and the freedom they have to express themselves. They have no limits.” Throughout the first year Scott will be working with principal John McMahon, three teachers and a representative of the George Pringle Elementary parent advisory council to plan and create art integration strategies. “I know what I can do;
I know what my skills are. I need to hear from each of them and (see) what their expectations are and what the school’s expectations are.” The Vernon artist is excited to give West Kelowna children a type of education she was never given.
“I went to school in the late 1960s, early ’70s. I don’t think I ever went to a school where the arts were (considered) important. “Imagination and creativity are so important as human beings, it’s how we expand and learn.”
Happy Sweet 16
Scott said she was brought up in a home where creativity wasn’t encouraged. That restricted her ability to learn about the world and left her often feeling “stuck in a box.” “I didn’t actually really start painting until my late 30s after a trip to Ireland. “Art became therapeutic in a way for me.” A goal of Scott’s is to teach students—and show teachers—there’s not always just one textbook solution to figuring out problems. According to Terri Anne Wilson, arts integration manager for ArtStarts in Schools, 60 schools and 85 artists applied to take part in the program. “We really looked for schools that stood out in terms of their passion and commitment to the arts,” said Wilson. George Pringle Elementary stood out because of its longterm commitment to the concept, she added. “They were really able to show they were considering all members of their community—students, teachers, administrators, parents and school staff—and that they’re prepared to participate in developing and implementing infusion activities over a sustained period of time.” She said arts integration is not a new concept in education, but it has been gaining traction in recent years. “We all learn in many different ways…the most effective way is to learn in ways we love to learn.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Motorists: Pay attention to pedestrians and cyclists H ow do you feel when you see a cyclist or pedestrian with no apparent concern for his or her own safety? A cyclist continuing to ride on the paved portion of the roadway instead of pulling over to the gravel to let you pass; a pedestrian walking, so it seems, blindly into a crosswalk ahead of you. Picture it. You are driving down a street. There is a crosswalk ahead. A pedestrian, a young fellow, is approaching the crosswalk from a walking path on your right. The pedestrian could pause for just a moment and let you pass by without so much as touching your brake. He could, but he doesn’t. Instead, he steps onto the street directly in the path of your vehicle. You have to slow your vehicle and stop to avoid mowing him over. What are your feel-
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott ings? Think honestly about it. Are you feeling a degree of irritation towards the pedestrian? What if there had not been enough time to stop? What if you hadn’t been paying close attention to the road? What if his failure to heed your approaching vehicle had resulted in you mowing him down? Do pedestrians have a death wish? Aren’t they aware that they don’t stand a chance against 3,000 pounds of rolling steel? If they would just keep a vigilant eye out and keep out of the way of vehicles, no one would get hurt. I doubt that 78 year-
old Mile Miljkovic had a death wish when he was mowed down in a crosswalk on Springfield Road in Kelowna on Sept. 25, 2012. Whatever his wish, he succumbed to his injuries and died in the hospital the following morning. Rather than pointing fingers at the pedestrians and cyclists, common sense, common decency, morality and yes, the law, impose a much higher onus on the motorist piloting those thousands of pounds of steel to take care for the safety of others. The reality is that if motorists would give driving the care and attention it deserves, no-one would get hurt. Vehicles do the maiming and killing. Pilot those motor vehicles responsibly and we virtually eliminate injuries and deaths on our roadways. For some reason, we have trouble taking that responsibility. We point
the finger so many directions instead of at our own selves. We blame the roads; we blame the weather; we blame snow and ice; we blame traffic light configurations. We even blame the victims. A media report of another mowed down pedestrian, this time on Nov.1, 2012, in Armstrong, included the following: “Witnesses say the young man was already half way into the crosswalk when he was hit, however, indications are he began crossing without ensuring no vehicles were coming through.” Gotta love the “however.” If the young man was half way into the crosswalk, any motorist paying attention would have had time to stop. Section 179 of the Motor Vehicle Act governs crosswalks. The driver of a vehicle must yield the right of way to a pedestrian in a
MP submits finance report card
T
his week, I would like to submit my annual accountability report. It was my intention to do this earlier in the year, however, it was only late last week that the Board of Internal Economy tabled the audited MPs’ expenditure reports. The audit reporting period was from April 1, 2011, up to March 31, 2012. Although much of this information is publicly available, it’s often difficult to find as it may exist within several different areas of government. I believe it is important for voters to have an annual summary on the activities of elected officials in public office. The following information is based on the most common requests that I receive from constituents. Without question, spending and travel are typically the most scrutinized areas. In the comparison context of other MPs, a British Columbia MP’s travel expenses are higher than elected members from other provinces because of the distance to Ottawa. My personal travel expense for the time frame was just over $49,000— in my case this represents roughly 400 hours in an airplane.
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett I would estimate close to 98 per cent of that travel was regular coach class. I didn’t fly first class before being elected as an MP and I continue to make every effort to fly economy class now. Total spending for both my offices here in Okanagan-Coquihalla and in Ottawa—including all staff, leases, advertising and travel—was $316,625. Currently, the average total spending of B.C. MPs is roughly $445,000. As a comparison, closer to home southern B.C. interior New Democrat MP Alex Atamanenko has posted spending of $516,131. Sponsored travel falls into a different category as MPs are invited from time to time to travel to other destinations both within and outside of Canada for a variety of different reasons. These invitations often include airfare and accommodations being paid for by the host provider and not taxpayers. When MPs accept these invitations, we are
required to disclose and report such trips to The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. I can confirm that I have not accepted any complimentary trips or travel since being elected. ••• At some point over the years, you may have heard about MPs who rarely venture into the House of Commons while they are in Ottawa unless votes are occurring. From my perspective, I try to be in the House for a portion of each day that Parliament is sitting. During my first year as an MP, there were only three sitting days that I was not in attendance for votes. For each of these circumstances, I was asked to represent the government at an announcement here in Okanagan-Coquihalla. When not in the House of Commons, I am most often involved with one of the two parliamentary committees I sit
on or another parliamentary committee covering for an MP who may have a scheduling conflict. In total, I attended over 915 different events between Ottawa and Okanagan-Coquihalla, which included nearly 300 different meetings and roughly 130 community events, and the remainder being other parliamentary or constituency related functions. And that’s not taking into consideration the time spent on unscheduled events or daily phone calls. If there is other information that you are interested in, please do not hesitate to contact me with your request. Likewise if this annual accountability disclosure is not of interest to you, please let me know, otherwise I will look to post a similar report this time next year. Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla. 1-800- 665-8711 dan.albas@parl.gc.ca

crosswalk. The provision allows for pedestrians to leave the curb into the path of a vehicle unless the vehicle is so close that it is “impracticable for the driver to yield the right of way.” The “however” is a victim-blaming insult to the young man who had the right of way if the witnesses are to be believed. By the way, section 183(3) gives cyclists the
clear right to ride on the paved portion of the road, rather than having to pull over to the gravel. Keep that in mind the next time you feel irritation as you pull up behind a cyclist. Instead of feeling irritation about the conduct of vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists, we need a kick, or several kicks, in the arse until we feel strong irritation at our-
selves, the motorists who are directly responsible for the injuries and deaths on our roadways. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Treating that pain in the neck C
Snowbird migration checklist to sign off
ervical spondylosis is a neck condition due to agerelated wear and tear to the neck vertebrae, causing soreness, distention, radiating pain or heaviness of the neck, shoulder, arm or head, and even numbness of the fingers. The cause is commonly due to degeneration of the discs and cervical vertebra which puts pressure on the spinal cord or surrounding nerves in the neck region. The tender tissues of spinal cord and blood vessels are mostly protected by the bone of the spinal column. As long as we are healthy everything is fine, but when we get older this bone starts to degenerate and bony protrusions can hurt the soft tissues. Spondylosis means that the actual body of the
NEEDLE NOTES
James Kaufman vertebra starts to wear out and the disc in between becomes flatter and dryer. This can lead to compression of the nerve or closing of the blood vessels. Symptoms of cervical spondylosis are pain and stiffness in the neck, tingling and numbness in the arms, hands, legs or feet, limited range of motion, dizziness and headache. The pain can be so severe that we can’t think clearly and it can keep us awake at night. The condition can also affect coordination, re-
flexes and walking. Exercises, gentle manipulations, traction, massage and warmth applications can be helpful to this condition. Surgery is a last-case option, because of the delicacy of the surrounding tissues. Acupuncture can be helpful too. In Chinese medicine we say the cause of this condition is due to kidney deficiency and qi-energy and blood stagnation. The kidneys are said to control the bones and have an influence particularly on the spine. As the kidneys weaken with age, the bones get weak. In some people the bones get weaker faster than others and this is a direct cause of a kidney deficiency. Acupuncture works buy using needles to stim-

ulate qi-energy and blood circulation in the area of pain and discomfort. We do this by stimulating the meridian pathway associated with the pain, both locally and distally. Of course it is always important to do points for the root cause of this condition which is the kidneys. One of the reasons for the pain can be a high level of tension in the surrounding muscles. This is a defensive reaction by the body to protect the neck. But this tension can also maintain the pain. So we have to release the tension gently—not too quickly—and acupuncture can help here. When the tension is lessened more exercises can be done that will also increase the flow of energy and blood. Acupuncture is a very helpful alternative in treating cervical spondylosis and is very effective in reducing the pain. It mobilizes the body’s own reserves and helps to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. James Kaufman is a registered acupuncturist in Kelowna. www.okanaganacupuncture.com

Dan Walkow CONTRIBUTOR
As our beautiful, lingering fall starts to fade into definite winter, snowbirds start thinking about and making plans for their migration to warmer and drier southern climes. I have compiled a snowbird checklist to make the planning as seamless as possible. This can be a busy, often overwhelming time but this checklist promises to keep you organized and give you peace-of-mind. • Set your specific travel dates when you are leaving and when you plan to return as soon as possible. This is a must for buying additional medical insurance, for ensuring that you do not forfeit your Canadian health insurance by being gone too long and for ensuring that the length of your trip is not any longer than the allotted time you may stay in the U.S. without becoming a U.S. resident for tax purposes.
• Check your current Canadian health care coverage and make sure that you are well covered while you are gone. Consider buying additional insurance, especially when travelling to the U.S. as a precaution and for peace-of-mind. • Ensure that all of your legal documents such as your will, power of attorney/letter of direction, etc. are in order. • Go to your bank and ensure all your funds and banking needs are in order. • Make sure that all of your bills such as telephone, utilities etc., will be paid by automatic withdrawal in your absence. • Make arrangements for someone to collect your mail or forward your mail to your U.S. address. • Check with your cell phone provider regarding your plan to ensure it covers international roaming. If not, add the necessary features to your plan to avoid a “surprise” phone bill which can be in the hundreds or even
thousands of dollars. Or purchase a pre-paid phone for U.S. use only. • Place a hold on your newspaper subscription or cancel it until your return. • Check your home to ensure that it can be totally secured in your absence. Check your alarm system. Consider having a few lights come on automatically each night. • Do not post on Facebook or other social media that you are leaving for an extended period of time. However, do let some trusted neighbours know that you will be gone so they can keep an eye on your home or condo. • Finally, pack your bags and carry your passport and all important cards such as your banking and health insurance cards on your person.

ARE YOU READY TO BUY A HOME? FIRST - Do you have the financial resources? You should have five percent of the purchase price of a home for the down payment, but ideally even more. Are there other priorities in your life e.g. starting a new business, which require your savings? If not, buying a home should be on your radar. SECOND - Do you expect to stay in your new home for some time? Moving can be expensive and you will want to build some equity before having to relocate. Your job and home life should be stable.
