he day’s last light was fading and the first flakes of snow were falling outside the window, when a large black bear came ambling down the slope into the flower bed.

There he began vigorously digging a hole, tossing plants aside as he went.

A loud rap on the window sent him scurrying through the trees to the road, but the damage had been done in the garden.

What if someone had come around the corner of the house and surprised that big animal?

Others tell of watching as a large black bear ambled up their residential street, systematically exploring every driveway for garbage bins left out or other treats to eat, knocking over bins and laying down in the mess of trash in the road, while chewing on whatever was available.

Keeping bears out of harm’s way

from A1 West Kelowna mayor Doug Findlater relates an incident early in the year when a bear that had become habituated to scrounging in people’s garbage became too aggressive for conservation officers to ignore any longer.

They shot the bear, and Findlater says the incident upset his wife for days.

There have been 544 bear complaints since April 1 this year, up significantly from the 467 calls the previous year in the Central Okanagan, and from the 435 the previous year, reports Conservation Officer Terry Myroniuk.

With so many bears in conflict with residents in the Central Okanagan this fall, Myroniuk admits he’s dreading spring because he knows when they awake with the same habits, some of those animals will have to be killed—and that’s the worst part of his job.

“We get a bit of a break when they go to sleep, but they will be back next spring,” he says ruefully.

The worst of it is fall is not only

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

KELOWNA conservation officer Terry Myroniuk with the live trap used to remove problem bears from residential neighbourhoods. the busiest time of year for problem bears, but also for the work Myroniuk says they really should be focussed on.

“We’re supposed to be out there protecting our natural resources from poachers and polluters, not destroying bears,” he explains.

“The law-abiding public wants us to be out there upholding the hunting and fishing laws and investigating infractions of environmental regulations.”

Even so, COs only handle bear complaints if life or property are being put at risk by aggressive bear behaviour.

As bears become more habituated to eating human garbage, bird feed, pet food, rotting fruit and nuts, there’s an increased risk of those bears becoming aggressive toward humans, Myroniuk explains.

Attacks by bears can be either defensive (particularly if they have young with them), or predatory.

“A person can come around the corner of the house and surprise a sow with cubs and there’s a real risk of her attacking,” he warns.

And, as long as bears are frequenting a neighbourhood and no one is reporting their behaviour because they fear the bear might be killed, those

residents are putting the whole neighbourhood at risk, Myroniuk adds.

Instead, aggressive or unusual behaviour should be reported to the Report All Poachers and Polluters tollfree line at: 1-877-952-7277.

Unfortunately, people are becoming more willing to co-habitate with bears, but they should realize they are still large, wild predators and they can do a lot of harm, he warns.

“People see them as fluffy, furry and cute. They seem soft and rolypoly, but you don’t want to become complacent about the potential danger. Some people even feed them.

“It’s important to be realistic about

them. They can move very quickly when they need to,” he adds.

Relocating bears that have become accustomed to eating in residential neighbourhoods is not only extremely traumatic for the animal, but also usually unsuccessful, as they almost always find their way back to human settlements, he says.

When they have to deal with habituated bears who have become more and more aggressive, there’s no point in just moving them somewhere else.

HIGH QUALITY FEED

Gardens, orchards and garbage can sustain an infinite number of bears, notes Myroniuk, and there isn’t much in place to control their population growth in urban areas.

In the absence of hunting, they don’t have many predators and with adequate food available, they can live for as long as 25 years naturally.

Urban bears frequently have twins instead of a single cub because of the easy conditions they live under.

community is the unwillingness of people to pick their own fruit or nuts to prevent them from attracting bears, yet they won’t tolerate the presence of the bears when they come sniffing around.

“People even get irate with me, as if it was me who created the problem, when actually it’s up to each individual to prevent these conflicts by not attracting wildlife,” comments Myroniuk.

When he worked with the CO service in the Fraser Valley, local governments brought in the Bear Aware program, and there was a dramatic decrease in conflicts with the big bruins, he says.

It’s a program that’s currently being operated by the adjacent Okanagan-Similkameen Regional District, by coordinator Zoe Kirk, and CO Inspector Barb Leslie says they’re noticing quite a difference in bear complaints in that part of the valley.

For instance, in

Naramata they were being frequently called out to deal with bears, with a total of 115 complaints a year, and as many as 10 having to be put down.

This year, Kirk says only one bear had to be destroyed there, and it was a very sick animal. As well, she says there were only a couple of dozen calls, most of which were about that bear.

“The community works with me to keep bears out of the community,” she says.

Leslie says that allows the CO service to do their job and use some ‘averse conditioning’ to reinforce what the community is doing. However, she says first the community has to stop attracting bears.

“As long as the food sources remain, we can’t do much,” she comments.

Under the Wildlife Act, she says residents attracting dangerous wildlife can be charged and ticketed, with a fine of $345 if they leave attract-

ZOE KIRK is the coordinator of the Bear Aware

program in the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional District, a program that has been identified as a real need for the Central Okanagan Regional District. ants such as garbage out.

Frank Ritcey, provincial coordinator of the Bear Aware program for the B.C. Conservation Foundation, says the program began in 1999, when 1,000 bears a year were being destroyed.

That’s been halved, even though the program isn’t in place everywhere in the province.

With 203 complaints so far this year in Kelowna, 190 in West Kelowna and 114 in Peachland, he says there’s a real need for the program in the Central Okanagan.

The BCCF will put a trained community coordinator in place who will educate the public.

That includes going door-to-door in areas where there are complaints about bears, and showing them how to manage the attractants; and school programs; as well as displays at public events and farmers’ markets.

“It’s not the bear that’s the problem,” he says.

People who are concerned about this year’s proliferation of bears in local neighbourhoods, need to contact councillors and regional district representatives and suggest a Bear Aware program begin here.

There are several options, including a volun-

teer program run by volunteers and making use of a Bear Aware tool kit and training; but he feels the best route here would be a coordinator.

“Bear Aware is all about partnerships and it’s not that onerous a cost if everyone chips in,” he notes.

In some areas, the regional district sponsors the whole program, at a cost of $15,000 or so, but there are partial subsidies available for communities who qualify.

In 2005 and 2006, there was a program operated out of the regional district’s EECO in Mission Creek Regional Park, but it received no local funding, except the office, and that funding dried up.

Regional district chairman Robert Hobson said he wasn’t aware of any requests to start up a program here again.

However, Myroniuk feels so strongly about the need for one here that he’s offered to chair a committee of volunteers, local civic leaders and staff and anyone else interested, to work towards getting one going here again.

If you’re willing to volunteer a little time and effort to work on the problem, e-mail him at Terry.

Cellist embraces a $12 million sound Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

ARNOLD CHOI slides a carbon fibre horse hair bow across the strings of a Stratavarious Cello created by Antonio Stradivai in Cremona, Italy, in 1696. The celo (see inset photo) is valued at $11million.

Calgarian Arnold Choi, a 27-year-old cellist living every musician’s dream by spending three years with the 320-year-old Bonjour Stradivari cello, says he wasn’t nervous playing his new instrument for the first time.

Valued at $11 million and carried in a black case of armour shinier than a car, the cello is likely worth more than the expansive Tantalus vineyard where he met with the Capital News to let the instrument’s unmatchable sound reverberate around the wine tasting room.

“I think it’s every musician’s dream to play on a Stradivarius cello. I’m just so lucky to have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Choi, who won first place in the Canada Council String Back competition to secure his new companion.

The Bonjour Cello, so-name for its first owner, amateur Parisian musician Abel Bonjour, is among a select few remaining instruments made by Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari and his family, whose work has arguably produced the best string instruments ever made.

“It’s hard to describe it in words,” said Choi. “The best way I can explain the sound to you

City in Action Public Notices Notice is given that City Council will hold a public hearing on: tuesday, November 27, at 6pm Kelowna city Hall, 1435 Water street council chambers Council will hear representations from the public who deem an interest in the properties affected by proposed amendments to Zoning Bylaw 8000 for:

is even if you’re just holding the Strad against your body and playing it, you can immediately feel the difference right away. First of all, there’s the vibrations against your body. They’re just so strong.

You can feel the sound going throughout your whole body and the actual projection of it.”

Listening to the Strad fill the room, it’s not difficult to imagine the audience members in the very back of a concert hall basking in its wall of sound, its vibrations punctuated only by Choi’s own breathing.

“There are a lot of cheap cellos that are extremely loud, but it’s also the warmth of it. The

ability to hear so many different colours in the tone,” Choi explained.

Musician and instrument work together so seamlessly, Choi looks somewhat like he is dancing with the instrument, dipping and weaving with its rich red wood as he lives out each note of the music.

To play Elgar’s Cello Concerto, as he is in town to do with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra this weekend, requires the artist to find this perfect connection then pull from emotional experiences in his own life to breath the necessary emotion into the music.

Working on this instrument allows him to share his talents far and wide, but it also offers a new way to grow that talent; and yet, when he first stepped into the room with the Strad, there were no butterflies.

“It’s sort of like meeting somebody you’re going to need to be intimate with for a long period of time. It’s kind of like you’re just getting to know someone,” he said.

Travel is always a worry. German boarder officials seized a $1.5 million Stradivarius violin last month over paperwork abnormalities and a $26 million Strad cello was broken in Italy making international head-

lines this year. Nonetheless, the big question for Choi isn’t about logistics, so much as where this might take his career.

By the time he is 30 years old, he will be returning the Bonjour Cello and looking for new opportunities. “I think I’ll cry for like a year,” he said with a burst of giggles. “…There are foundations out there that loan really nice instruments, but, of course, none that have Strads.”

While in the Okanagan he will be giving a master class in Vernon and playing in all three communities.

“Arnold is such a delight to have on the stage and our musicians are thrilled to make music with him again, ” said Rosemary Thomson, music director of the OSO in a statement released to the press.

The OSO will also perform Marion Mozetich’s Romantic Rhapsody and Robert Schumann’s Third Symphony The Rhenish. The Rhenish is composed of five heartfelt tone paintings depicting scenes from Schumann’s beloved Rhine Valley.

Romantic Rhapsody opens Nov. 16 in Kelowna, Nov. 17 in Penticton and Nov. 18 in Vernon.

Safe driving habits for school zones The school year is in full swing, which means that school zones are in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every school day.

But according to Kelowna RCMP, something that is often overlooked, however, are the rules for drivers around school buses.

When meeting or overtaking a school bus displaying its stop sign and flashing red lights, drivers must stop and not proceed until the lights and signs are deactivated.

School buses transport thousands of children every day and their safety is paramount. Unfortunately, members of the Central Okanagan Traffic Services see too often that drivers are failing to stop for school buses. Not only are those drivers failing to stop, they are also usually driving too fast.

“On average we have had about 100 complaints per year in the past five or six years, but that is a conservative estimate considering that bus drivers are simply unable to get every plate number, especially those vehicles that are traveling at such high rates of speed as they pass,” said Const. Tim Monteith,with the Central Okanagan Traffic Services.

School buses are an obvious indicator that children may be nearby and failing to stop for the bus could end up with more serious consequences than just a traffic violation ticket. “A child was struck last year by a motorist in the Oliver area and it appears that drivers are not getting the message,” said Monteith, fearing that there may be a death before drivers stop this dangerous manoeuver.

Police remind drivers of the tickets and fines applicable under the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act: Speed in school / playground zone: $196-$253 Fail to stop for school bus: $167 Fail to yield to pedestrian: $167 Pass vehicle yielding to pedestrian: $167 Disobey school guard/patrol: $167

There was a big empty field there just full of wild plants and bugs. To me, it was heaven.

I’d keep them in jars, lined up on a shelf in the woodshed where they couldn’t get away from my interest and where I could watch them safely without getting stung.

It was Mom who encouraged my interest in plants, as we competed to identify every wildflower we found on Sunday drives and on fishing trips with Dad. A wee bit older and we had an entire empty block of wild trees and bush behind our new home, and I’d leave in the

My days involved just being a kid, investigating a whole world of wild stuff, from bugs to birds, plants and animals.

Once I learned to drive, I’d take our jeep out on the backroads around the Okanagan, exploring streams, swamps and lakes, watching wild animals and learning about trees and plants. I found it all awe-inspiring.

I began to look forward to the first buttercups and sunflowers of spring and seeing familiar birds return from their mi-

gration south; the meadows full of red paintbrush, sky-blue lupines and yellow arnica in summer; colourful groves of yellow aspen or hillsides dotted with golden rabbitbrush, red maples and sumac in fall; and the softened outlines of pine and fir branches as snow weighed down their branches in winter.

Today, my life still revolves around the seasons because each has a special feature that Mother Nature offers to excite us.

But, what about the kids whose folks never introduced them to nature; who think giraffes

and elephants are the only wild animals that are interesting because that’s what they see on a screen, instead of seeing deer and squirrels in the woods around home?

These are the kids who have what Richard Louv calls Nature-deficit Disorder, where the links between people and the natural world around them have broken, leaving a gap that affects all aspects of their lives.

The Nature Principle.

He believes that both adults and children should be connecting with the natural world, for both mental and physical good health, and he takes it a step further.

He says research shows that mental acuity and creativity, health and wellness, leadership and innovation and human bonds are stronger in those who have tapped into the restorative powers of nature.

I know I couldn’t survive without being regularly immersed in the natural world around me, so nothing he says surprises me.

And, I didn’t need his advice to take my kids and grandkids on hiking and camping trips and to encourage their interest in all things about the natural world they see up close on those outings. I already knew it was important, even if I didn’t have access to the science.

So, shut off the television and computer and take your kids outside.

Changes underway at fruit cooperative Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

The new CEO of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative has is making changes and reviewing plans instigated by his predecessor.

Alan Tyabji says he has set up a southern region of the co-op, which has its head office in Kelowna, and has named a senior manager to work out of the facilities in Oliver.

Dennis Fleming, who was in charge of quality at the Kelowna facility, has now set up shop in the South Okanagan, to be accessible to connect with local area growers.

As well, a decision has been made to upgrade the Oliver cherry line, with new equipment and increased capacity, to make it the co-op’s main cherry facility.

It will ultimately exceed Kelowna’s in both modernity and capacity, although he said the Kelowna line is more than adequate. Plans are to focus on running export quality cherries with the Kelowna equipment.

And, there’ll be a more aggressive cherry export program, said Tyabji.

For several years, a number of properties owned by the coop in communities like Naramata, Summerland and the north end of Kelowna, have been up for sale because they’re no longer being used or they need to be updated.

Tyabji said the status of those properties will be reviewed. Some, like the waterfront property in downtown Naramata, won’t change, but overall the plan for the future of co-op facilities is being re-examined, he said.

The OTFC cap-

ital plan is also being reviewed to see if it’s still relevant, he said.

Modernization work which would include a state-of-the-art brine chiller and cooler system for

the controlled atmosphere storage facility in Winfield will still go ahead, although there’s some question now about whether it would be for Kelowna or Winfield, he said.

A $2.7 million grant from the federal/provincial AgriFlex fund was announced early this year to allow the co-op to embark on a $44 million infrastructure moderniz-

To the editor: Dianne Tucker recently wrote a letter to this newspaper urging people to contact our MP, Ron Cannan, to express their objections to a rumour that the federal government is considering removing references to God from all Remembrance Day ceremonies. (Federal Gov’t to take ‘God’ Out of Remembrance Day, Nov. 13 Capital News) On the contrary, I wrote to Mr. Cannan to express my support for removing such references.

Remembrance Day is about remembering and honouring those who have served in the Armed Forces, especially those who died while doing so. Just as the religious and the non-religious serve in the Armed Forces, the religious and non-religious alike can, and do, remember and honour those people.

Repeatedly making references to God is a way of excluding atheists (as well as those who belong to poly-V theistic religions) from fully participating in the ceremonies. If the ceremonies repeatedly referred to Allah or Shi-

So these two somewhat hearty economic generators, which locally employ several hundred men and women with relatively well-paying jobs, would cease to be by a trite mandate to “go paperless.”

One could ask the obvious question: Can the economy really afford to hemorrhage well educated, somewhat well paid employees?

But the answer to that is far too obvious: No, Kelowna can’t afford anything of the sort.

So, maybe this question is better: How well conceived is the plan to target newsprint?

Consumer award winner 3 yrs in a row

Upgrades haven’t led to smaller power bill To the editor: Several years ago, I installed a new heat pump as Fortis recommended for electrical savings. I also doubled my attic insulation even though it was already considered adequate.

I don’t have a smart meter installed yet, but Fortis has charged me 45 per cent more

for everything over 1600 kWh in a two-month period. No doubt the charges will be even more after one is installed.

They also own the gas distribution so they have it both ways.

Is this fair?

Every year, I put out 24 strings of Christmas lights, but this year I’m reluctant.

Also, if they spend multi-millions of dollars on smart meters, are they then allowed to add it to their capital cost and expect a return on their investment? Are we not then paying for the smart meters?

Albas conveniently leaves out key information Specialty Daily Breads To the editor: Submitting his “annual accountability report,” Conservative MP Dan Albas notes that total spending for his office in the riding and for the one in Ottawa including all staff, leases, advertising and travel, was $316,625

(MP Submits Finance Report Card, Nov 8 Capital News).

Contextualizing that to the spending of others, he points out that other B.C. MPs averaged $445,000 for the same costs.

Apparently wanting to rub it in on a parti-

san basis, Albas says NDP MP Alex Atamanenko spent a total of $516,131 on office expenditures.

What Albas failed to note is that in addition to his office in Ottawa, Atamanenko needs to run two offices in the riding of the B.C. Interior because the

constituency cuts such a large swath. He also needs to travel far more widely than any MP who has an average sized riding.

In his annual accountability report, what Albas failed to disclose is that Atamanenko’s riding covers 26,248 square kilom-

eters, while his own is 39 per cent that size.

School yard bullies graduate to workplace

To the editor: We teach our children that bullying is not to be tolerated and to report it to a parent or teacher. We as a society recognize how bad bullying is.

As adults we are guaranteed by our employer a safe environment to work in, meaning free of harassment, sexual discrimination and harassment, and from bullying. Bullying in the work place is also recognized as a criminal offence.

Most employers have policies and procedures in place to protect their employees. Everyone has the

same rights and freedoms as the next person, no matter where we are from or our cultural or religious beliefs, or sexual orientation, or our gender.

I know of a few people who have experienced bullying and harassments in the work place—workers who provide a vital service to the public.

Some of these workers are from other countries; they are asked by the persons they are preforming the service for whether or not they know how to perform their job or if they are qualified to do this type of work. These

international workers are more qualified to perform these services and have more experiences than the workers from this country.

As a Canadian I am ashamed by the behaviour that other Canadians show to these workers. I have had the privilege to get to know them and I would rather have them looking after a loved one than most of the Canadian workers.

There is a place in British Columbia; a small town where there have been 20 workers leave in a year and a half because of the way they were treat-

ed by other staff and by management. In this place of employment, staff treat other staff like garbage rather than a co-worker.

Where it is OK to go to a client and ask personal questions about their personal life and their relationship with another worker and these staff members are not directly responsible for that client.

There is a law regarding this practice in their type of profession, but nothing was done to the guilty parties.

These same staff members were allowed to continue working and ha-

rassing other staff members. One male staff member was brought to a nervous breakdown by them.

This same male staff member, while having a nervous breakdown, was accused of being violent and the other staff members were afraid of him.

This male staff member was forced to leave.

This profession is one where bullying and many different forms of harassment is allowed to take place without the public’s knowledge. This profession is health care.

va, Christians would understandably feel that they were unable to fully participate.

If reference to God is omitted altogether, nobody is excluded, including atheists who served in the Armed Forces and made the same sacrifices

as everyone else. It would be a way of including everyone—of all faiths and of none—in an important ceremony.

Believers are of course always free to say their own private prayers to God, but non-believers should not be made to feel that they don’t belong at a public ceremony by re-

peated references to God being made.

Ms. Tucker also seems to be under the impression that believing in God is somehow necessary in order to be a decent human being. Of course, this is not the case. I invite Ms. Tucker and others who might share this view of atheists to attend one of

suffering from the ill effects of bringing our collective lives online, but I will anyway.

According to a paper published in Oxford University Press, the e-waste from yesterday’s not-socool stuff is between 20 and 50 million tonnes annually.

“In the past, such e-waste mostly emanated from Australasia, Western Europe, Japan and

the US. Disposal through landfills in these nations is generally illegal because of the risks to soil, water, residents and workers posed by the dozens of poisonous chemicals and gases in these machines,” writes Richard Maxwell, professor and chair of Media Studies at Queens College.

“So vast amounts of e-waste was dumped in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia.

Today, many of those

economies are booming, so these regions are generating immense levels of their own e-waste.”

Now that, dear government employees, is a problem that needs to be tackled.

Or maybe you haven’t heard about it?

Should have read your local newspapers, as they’ve offered a few insights in the past.

to the industry.

In each of the four regions of the valley, growers meet annually to approve resolutions to go forward to the annual general meeting in January, hear the president’s report, elect regional officers and nominate delegates to attend the AGM and for BCFGA executive positions.

Boparai did not attend the meeting, so the president’s report was presented by the vice-president.

Steele was nominated for president by three regions last year and Boparai by one.

BCFGA general manager Glen Lucas explained members can also vote to open the AGM convention floor to nominations, so regional nominations are just the first step in what can be a complicated election process.

The south Okanagan growers also nominated Peter Simonsen, of Naramata, Denise MacDonald, of Summerland, and Nirmal Dhaliwal, of Oliver, to the board.

All three are incumbent board members.

ition again, as was former BCFGA head Joe Sardinhia of Summerland, who stepped down from the executive last year after seven years as president.

Boparai’s term this year has been tumultuous.

The major packinghouse cooperative in the valley ousted him for breaking his contract and a resolution was approved at the co-op annual general meeting to pressure the BCFGA to remove him as president.

Steele said growers all must work together to solve the problems of the industry.

“There’s been too much controversy and we have some big issues we need to concentrate on,” he said.

Steele said the industry needs to work on a good relationship with the co-op packinghouse, B.C. Tree Fruits, governments and everyone connected

Jury to deliberate over a verdict Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Jurors weighing the fate of an alleged teenage killer were left with a whodunnit Thursday afternoon, as Crown counsel and defence lawyers offered their closing arguments.

If they’re to see things the way Crown counsel Murray Kaay presented them, the 18-year-old standing trial for the 2010 murder of Ashlee Hyatt is the only option.

In terms of DNA, Hyatt’s blood could be found on the accused teen’s pants, sweater and boots.

Testimony from witness Michael Baxter—the only sober teen at the party—places her in a one-onone melee with Hyatt, 16. He testified he saw her holding a knife before the fatal wound to her neck was inflicted.

In the preliminary hearing he said she told Hyatt, “I’ll stab you” from a distance of six to eight feet away.

“Was it reasonable for (the accused) to raise a knife in a potential fist fight?” Kaay asked?

“She was not getting beaten senseless by Ashlee Hyatt. I’d suggest she brought the fight to another level.”

Kaay surmised that the actions of the accused were motivated by anger—despite her assertions to the contrary—not self defence.

She had, after all, been drinking heavily and verbally battling Hyatt and the other girls all night long, after they said she’d been unfaithful to her boyfriend.

She pointed out when she testified that she was frustrated that nobody was listening to her, but when she fled the scene and found a friend who was offering a sympathetic ear, “she was deliberately vague.”

On cross-examination, the teen told Kaay she was evasive with her friend’s questions because “there was a crap-load of confusion.”

He offered the jury an alternate suggestion in closing.

“She was confused because she’d yet to figure out her story,” he said. “Her story is one you should not believe.”

In defence of the teen, lawyer Donna Turko pointed out that the accused was actually very coherent in her only presentation to the jury. “(She was) forthright without hostility and no sense of entitlement,” said Turko, adding she answered the questions in a straightforward manner.

And she was facing an unmanageable situation. The accused had been ganged up on that night, she said. Then she was forced to fight Hyatt and the party host in an act of self-defence, when things went awry. And in the aftermath, she was

unfairly railroaded into the role of killer by the group of close-knit friends who were seeking justice for Ashlee.

Who would have better deserved the scrutiny, she said, was the party host and her little sister.

By Turko’s estimates, the sisters were key players in the drama that took Hyatt’s life.

“Our theory is that (the youngest sister) brought the knife, (to the fight),” she said, surmising it was done to “impress her sister.”

Then the party host, in the middle of the tussle between her, Hyatt and the accused, was the one who likely delivered the fatal wound— albeit by accident.

A drop of Hyatt’s blood was on her clothing as well, and Turko said that indicates she was nearby as it fell.

Turko also said there’s no reason to believe that the party host had been assaulted by the accused—as has been asserted—as cuts to her arm and hands weren’t reflected in blood evidence on the knife.

Further testimony by adults who came upon the scene, she said, were also suspect as they were all influenced by their relationship with the party host.

The jury will get further direction from the judge and go into deliberations today. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

With snow melted, warmer temperatures and sunshine today, I’m going outside to make more notes so I’ll be ready for a gardener’s favourite winter pastime—making plans for next year.

Fortunately, I took lots of photos during the year so I can use them for planning. There are four main things I want to have notes about.

1) Plants that performed poorly will be noted. I’ll review what their cultural needs are for soil, water and light to see if I have them in the wrong place. As trees grow bigger, a sun-loving plant may end up in too much shade. If a plant needs different conditions to thrive I’ll try to relocate it. If I can’t, I’ll look for a new home for it.

If a plant attracted pests or diseases, I have likely already put it into the green bin. There are so many plants that thrive in our climate that I don’t waste time coddling sick plants. Healthy plants don’t tend to attract pests and diseases.

Two conditions that cause plants to grow too fast are overwatering and too much fertilizer. These cause weak juicy growth which attract pests and diseases and create extra pruning and staking work.

2) In grouping plants by water needs, I created an un-watered garden beside my willow. As its thirsty roots spread, some of my toughest dry garden plants are now failing

to thrive. I’ve decided to stop struggling with these old favourites and will fill that garden with species that have done well in the challenging conditions.

In places where I water, but the sprinkler doesn’t deliver very well, I plan to change to plants that mange without water.

3) I love looking at my large perennial border from my kitchen table and want to add spots of colour—especially red.

For this I will mostly rely on photos of the garden as it changed through the months.

4) I’ll look for overcrowding to decide what needs dividing and what needs moving out and make notes of what plants and babies to donate to OXA’s xeriscape plant sale.

Many plants at unH2O Xeriscape Garden will be divided for the sale to be held in that garden at the end of April.

If any of you have square plant pots and or trays for them, we would really appreciate having them for our potting up. You can contact me through the OXA website or at 250-762-6018.

For water-wise plants, check the searchable plant database at www.okanaganxeriscape.org.

Next week, I’ll give some pointers about garden planning and design.

▼ WHL ROCKETS

Lees progressing on blue line Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

MARISSA BAECKER/CONTRIBUTOR

JESSE LEES has the best plus-minus rating among all Kelowna Rockets’ defencemen this season.

When they made Jesse Lees their first-round pick in the 2010 bantam draft, the Kelowna Rockets were projecting the Calgary native to one day become an upper-echelon WHL defenceman.

Two months into his second season, it seems little is likely to stop the 17-year-old Lees from meeting those expectations.

Offensively gifted from his earliest days playing the position, Lees continues to refine his game at both ends of the ice and leads all Rockets defencemen this season with a +15 rating.

“Jesse plays with a lot more urgency than he did last year, he’s improved his play in his own end, he’s more physical and he’s getting better at preventing his opponents from getting scoring chances,” said Rockets assistant coach Dan Lambert. “Jesse always been

an elite player at every level and this is a natural progression for him.

There’s no doubt he has worked hard at it, wanting to be an elite player. Being a year older with experience, he’s progressing well.”

From Lees’ perspective, lessons learned in his rookie season in the WHL are beginning to pay dividends in 2012-13.

“First of all, I feel a lot more confident in what I’m doing out on the ice,” said Lees who has a goal and four assists in 16 games. “The first year you’re kind of learning the ropes, making mistakes and getting to know the league. But now that I have that experience I can

work on being more consistent. I’m happy with the way things are going.”

With what is still a relatively young defensive corps along with injuries to veterans, Lees has been asked to log plenty of ice time while playing in all situations.

And so far, Lambert likes what he sees.

“He’s had to kill penalties, he’s played on the power play and he’s handled it all very well,” said Lambert. “He was a first round pick, it’s what was expected, and he’s progressing like we hoped he would.”

What is especially encouraging for the Rockets is that Lees is just one piece of what many consider one of the most promising young defensive corps in all of junior hockey.

With the likes of Madison Bowey, Damon Severson, Cole Martin and Mitchell Wheaton continuing to develop with him—and with Dan Lambert as their coach—

Lees can’t imagine being in a better place at this stage of his career.

“It’s incredible to be with that much talent and skill, they’re all good guys, we get along well and we love being at the rink together,” said Lees. “(Dan’s) an amazing coach, too, the best I’ve had. He teaches me something new every day.

“It’s exciting to look to the future with these guys and think of bringing a championship here.”

ROCKET SHOTS…

Three members of the Rockets will play in the World Junior Under 17 Challenge this year in Quebec. Defenceman Riley Stadel has been named to Team Pacific, while forwards Rourke Chartier and Austin Glover will play for Team West…The Rockets (12-6-1-1), who have won five straight games, are in Tri-City this weekend for two games with the Americans, Friday and Saturday nights at the Toyota Center.

▼ WEST KELOWNA WARRIORS

Warriors work through early adversity Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With more than 40 man-games already lost due to injury and other commitments, the West Kelowna Warriors have dealt with their share of adversity early in the 2012-13 BCHL season.

And with a respectable 9-5-1-5 record to date, head coach and GM Rylan Ferster doesn’t have too many complaints with the way his hockey club has responded to the challenges.

“I think we’ve had one game all year where we had our whole team playing,” said Ferster.

“I’ve never seen this much happen this fast but, you know, every team goes through this kind of stuff. I think we’ve weathered the storm

reasonably well, and all things considered I’m not disappointed with where we are.”

The Warriors will get some reinforcements back this weekend for a pair of home games—Friday against Merritt and Saturday against the Prince George Spruce Kings.

Forward Ambrose Firkus is back after playing with Canada’s team at the ISF world junior men’s fastball championship in Argentina, while

forward Seb Lloyd returns after an appearance at the World Junior A Challenge in Nova Scotia.

Still sidelined with injuries are captain Max French, defenceman Josh Monk and goaltender Tyler Briggs as the Warriors slowly work their way back to full strength.

“We’ve had a lot of key pieces out at once, but we’re getting there,” Ferster added.

After going winless in five straight games, the Warriors rebounded last weekend earning three of a possible four points.

Heading into this weekend, the Warriors are third in the Interior Division, two points back of the Centennials. “(Friday’s game) is basically for second place, so it’s a big one for us, one of those four-

point games,” said Ferster. “We haven’t seen (Merritt) in a while, but they’re a very good team. We need to start off the weekend with a good effort against them.”

Game time both Friday and Saturday at LePage is 7 p.m.

CHIEFS HOME FRIDAY…

The Kelowna Chiefs take on the Revelstoke Grizzlies Friday in KIJHL action at Rutland Arena. Face off is 7 p.m.

The on Saturday, Kelowna will travel to Penticton to take on the Lakers.

The Chiefs (11-9-0) are on a three-game winning streak, after wins last weekend over Chase and Kimberley.

SPORTS ▼ HEAT CROSS COUNTRY

Women 4th at nationals The UBC Okanagan women’s cross country team narrowly missed a podium finish at the CCAA (Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association) Cross Country Championships.

The Heat women turned in a solid performance last weekend in Parc Michel-Chartrand in Longueuil, Que., finishing fourth in team scoring in the 5 km race, just five points shy of a bronze medal.

Nikki Reiter, head coach of the UBC Okanagan women’s team, was extremely happy with the squad’s performance, but had to confess that it would have been really nice to medal with such an inexperienced group.

“This year the women’s team put UBC Okanagan on the map,” the elated Reiter remarked. “Although it stings to miss a medal by so little, the women’s team has made an incredible progression on their 13th place finish in 2011.”

The first Heat women

runner to cross the finish line was a 2012 rookie from West Kelowna, Michelle Blackburne, who placed 16th overall in a time of 20:04. Other scorers for the Heat were Alea Stockton (20:36 – 34th), Trisha Metro (20:45 – 38th), and Kelsey Robson (20:56 – 45th).

The Heat men, competing in the 8 km run, finished a respectable 10th in the team scoring.

Mohawk College, the eighth place team, finished with an average time of 28:21, the Heat clocked in at 28:22, and the school that finished 14th was 28:32, as seven schools placed within 11 seconds of one another.

“The guys showed spirit and heart, fighting for every position in the last few kilometers of the race,” a proud Reiter said.

“This opportunity allowed our team to see how close the team scoring can be and sets the stage for where we want to be next year.”

Front runner Colin Wallace led the Heat

finishing 23rd overall in a time of 27:07. Chemistry majors Jeff Kerkovius (28:33 – 55th) and Roger Sherwood (28:52 – 64th) moved through the race in the second half of the field. Rounding out the scoring was senior Garrett Anstett who ran 28:57, which was over a minute faster than his finish in the 2011 CCAA Championships.

Prior to the race, four UBC Okanagan Heat runners were recognized as CCAA All-Canadians.

Michelle Blackburne (West Kelowna) and team captain Shayla Millan (Nelson) received the award for being the top two PACWEST finishers at the provincial championships. On the men’s side, Colin Wallace (Kelowna) and Roger Sherwood (St. Catherines, ON) were given the honour.

In addition, women’s coach Nikki Reiter was recognized at the event, receiving the PACWEST nomination for CCAA coach of the year.

AVOIDING KNEE SURGERY According to Stats Canada in 2006/2007, 38,400 knee replacement operations were performed.

Surgery is not a straight forward solution to knee pain. Here are eight problems with knee surgery: 1) Wait times can be many months to many years, and waiting for relief is not a good plan.

2) Operating on the meniscus, a shock absorber inside the knee, speeds up arthritic degeneration of the knee.

3) You can’t stop at just one…knee replacements

old Olivia Gran of Kelowna took the gold medal with a score of 32.14 points. Ashley Sales and Alyssa Dobbs, also of Kelowna, finished just shy of the podium in 4th and 5th, respectively.

In the Juvenile Women under 14 category, Kristen Ciurka and Rochelle Reeve of Kelowna placed 6th and 7th in group 1, while club mate Madison Delcourt finished 7th in group 2.

“It was an excellent week for our skaters,” said KSC Director Jason Mongrain. “Karen (Mongrain, Jason’s wife and cocoach of the skaters) and I are so proud about how they rose to the occasion with strong performances at such a pressure-filled event. BC is clearly the most difficult province to qualify out of based on the past several years— we have other skaters that didn’t qualify that could have finished top 10 in the country.”

“Getting the 10 spots still seems hard to believe,” he added. “After taking seven spots last year, it felt as though it would be very difficult to match that—so obviously three more is just incredible, even though we were very close to getting a couple more.”

Have you been told that you need to have your knees replaced? Are you reluctant to get surgery but you don’t know what else to do? Being cautious is always a good approach, especially with your health. If you want alternatives to knee surgery, I can help.

usually last for ten years; then you will need another.

Each knee replacement takes away another section of your leg bones, and you only have so much. So delaying your first knee replacement helps you to avoid being wheelchair bound in later life.

4) Surgically replacing a knee joint will not solve the pain from all the connective tissue around the joint. You will still have to solve the problem of healing all the ligaments around the knee that were originally injured or stretched in knee surgery.

5) Some surgeons fail to align the leg length in knee surgery. This leads to unequal leg lengths and can contribute to back and neck pain in the future.

6) With all the infections going around our hospitals today avoiding surgery will help you avoid complications from infection.

7) The normal recovery time from knee surgery is many months. Avoiding surgery means avoiding this off time.

8) Anesthetic reactions. The general anesthetic

used in knee replacement surgery has a number of risks associated with it. Avoiding surgery means you will avoid the side effect risks of the general anesthetic used in surgery.

I have effective knee pain treatments that will allow you to avoid knee surgery. I offer Prolotherapy and Prolozone treatments which are non surgical medical procedures that stimulate the regeneration of cartilage, ligaments, and other connective tissues in and around a knee.

News from your community www.kelownacapnews.com

emind me to keep away from sharp pointy tools of construction as they have a way of becoming instruments of destruction.

That’s a catchy segue of sorts to let readers and music fans know that my good friend and superb singer/songwriter Barry Mathers, of The Cruzeros, will not be playing at this Saturday evening’s eighth annual Night of the Arts concert.

Mr. Mathers put his left index finger into a table saw a couple days ago and the table saw won.

Fortunately for Barry, he will keep the finger and it appears that no tendons were severed, but the nasty wound through the nail and clear to the bone has eliminated his playing any guitar or mandolin for several weeks.

As much as losing the headline act for Saturday is a pain for music fans and concert organizers like moi, it’s nothing compared to the hurt the slice inflicted on ‘goldenthroat’ himself.

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge Despite this setback, however, the Night of the Arts concert and fundraiser at the Kelowna Community Theatre is still a full steam ahead evening of top quality music and entertainment.

The other band members of The Cruzeros plan on performing as the band Cowboy Bob—and rumour has it they will have a surprise performer take part in a song or two as well.

Curtis Tulman, harmonica, guitar, and saxophone star of The Cruzeros, promises me that Cowboy Bob is geared up and ready to go for the special night of music.

I am also very excited to hear the performances by the other amazing musical acts donating their time for the concert.

That would include the amazing vocals of Deb Stone, the rocking high energy original tunes

of Ten2Nine, the latest musical masterpieces by Corey Doak, and the new sounds of Joyful Door.

Doak is releasing his brand new CD on Friday night so Saturday’s performance will truly be a showcase of his brand new material.

Singer/songwriter Justin Dueck will perform in the lobby as well, while hilarious comedian Maureen Postnikoff will also take a turn on stage during the action packed evening.

In keeping with the spirit of the night, Kelowna artist Lynda Lovisa will be painting on stage throughout the concert while the musicians play.

Meanwhile, benefactors of this year’s concert, Metro Community (a local organization that in addition to many other community programs assists the homeless and those who are at risk in our community), have put together a small but very impressive selection of silent auction items including the chance for folks to bid on trip for two Alaskan Cruise. (I have always dreamed of such a trip. Heck, I have always dreamed of a cruise any-

where.)

Other silent auction items include art work

by Marion Krahn, Dave Stratten and others, a night for two getaway, a virtual tour of businesses

by Virtual B.C.Tours, and other goodies.

Plan for a wonderful night of music and fellowship.

For the past seven years 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 that time the Night of the Arts has raised thousands of dollars to assist the homeless, recovering drug addicts, and youth and families at risk in our community.

••• Before you head off to the Night of the Arts on Saturday, you may wish to check out Winter Wineland earlier in the day, from noon to 4 p.m., at five different wineries in the East Kelowna area.

Presented by the Kelowna FavFive group, the afternoon of wine tasting and fun takes place at Vibrant Vines, Camelot Winery, House of Rose

Winery, The View, and the Spierhead Winery.

••• Meanwhile, later this month live theatre fans are in for a real treat as the Theater Kelowna Society presents The Rockin’ Tale of Snow White.

This top-notch musical play, set for Kelowna Community Theatre, is based on the popular book

by Barbara Lemon with original music composed

by Bill Francoeur.

Theatre Kelowna’s version will have a nice local twist, however, as it includes some original songs written specifically by musical director Gary Cable.

Directed by Jeff Samin, the popular fairytale is designed to please both adults and children and is a perfect event leading up to the Christmas season.

The fun, family style event will see numerous performances between Nov. 23 and Dec. 2 including evening shows and matinees.

▼ BLUES FOLK

Storytelling in music Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Big moves, big music, big ideas.

For a man who speaks so softly it’s hard to hear him when he’s not working through his collection of gospel folk songs, Kelly Joe Phelps seems to grasp epic proportions quite clearly.

Starting in jazz, after learning to pluck hillbilly country from his father, Phelps moved to Vancouver, Washington to follow his musical interests 20 years ago and wound up in the heart of the folk scene and hasn’t looked back.

“I never write about anything I don’t know,” said Phelps. “And it’s kind of one of those tricky questions whether the stories pick me or I pick them.”

Phelps grew up with religion but says he moved away from it for the bulk of his life, engaged in a lifestyle that found him at a crossroads a couple of years ago.

He began to contemplate religion, the Bible and how those stories he heard growing up relate to the world and lifestyle he built.

“Maybe getting to a certain age, I found myself extremely exhausted by making decisions that came out to be the wrong decisions,” said Phelps.

“I was living life in a way that was destroying me…My general way of life was producing more darkness than light.”

Rather than gloss over the stories from the Bible

KELLY JOE PHELPS plays the Minstrel Café and Bar in South Kelowna on Dec. 3 he decided to dive in and work them out for himself, writing some of his own life stories, some metaphors, some directly related to the scripture.

“Just engaging it seems to be the crux really. Slowly, slowly, slowly I started to understand something here. I have to engage it in order to get anywhere,” he said.

“I found that one thing, which seems to be an answer.”

Phelps is perhaps best known for his style of play, managing a slide guitar style while resting the instrument across his lap. He released his first album in 1994, Lead Me On, and this year completed his ninth, Brother Sinner and the Whale,

a musician’s album loaded instrumental work, like Brother Pilgrim, but with a raspy-voiced finger-picking blues that leaves a decidedly Mississippi aftertaste.

Phelps pushes the boundaries of his storytelling, not always to his credit with the critics.

“I do a lot of writing, kind of loose prose and poetry, so in terms of the time I spend purely songwriting, it’s probably only 20 per cent of the actual writing I do on a day-to-day basis,” he said. “When I feel the creative spark or the creative juice coming then I look around and try to feel my way through it. Then I see which stories are more potent or more pressing.”

Phelps makes it to B.C. once or twice a year but has not been through Kelowna in several years.

Brother Sinner and the Whale marks a return to his bluesy sound after an epic departure to do the entirely instrumental Western Bell in 2009, which received mixed reviews owing to its complexity and intense introspection.

Brother Sinner and the Whale marks a return to the bluesman those who are lucky enough to have seen him live will remember.

▼ FATTY LIVER

▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Obesity in cats can lead to a liver shutdown

Students launch Movember Music Night to raise prostate cancer awareness

T

oday’s society is very mindful of the benefits of having a healthy lifestyle.

It has become more and more popular to include daily physical activity in our lives and eat healthy unprocessed food.

I find an increasing number of my clients are also implicating better habits with their pets, being more diligent in choosing their pet’s food.

Having said that, I still see that obesity remains a common problem in pets.

Obese cats in particular are subjected to severe complication and compromising of their health by being overweight.

Even a mild illness can potentially get severely complicated in overweight cats because their immediate risks of developing a condition called fatty liver, the medical term for which is hepatic lipidosis.

I agree, there is nothing cuter than a big chubby cat, and cats by nature are very prone to gain weight, especially ones that are kept indoors where they tend to be less active.

The liver is the organ that has a major role in metabolizing and converting the nutrients deriving from food into glucose, which is a major energy source for body tissues and organs.

Fatty liver is a condition in which the animal stops eating for any reason. Even a mild illness can lead to decrease in the cat’s appetite.

With the absence of food, the body shifts fat into the liver in order to produce usable energy.

The fat accumulates in the liver’s cells and causes liver damage. Eventually, if left untreated, it leads to liver failure that might be terminal.

The direct cause of this condition is still unknown, but obesity is known to be a contributing factor to the condition development.

Any animal can suffer from this condition but cats, especially overweight cats, are most prone to suffer from fatty liver.

The symptoms of the disease vary. Because fatty liver is secondary to fasting, there is a wide variety of possible symptoms that are associated with the condition that

FURRY FRIENDS

Dr. Moshe Oz made the animal stop eating in the first place.

The underlying cause can be any form of disease, or emotional stress and anxiety.

The symptoms that are associated with the liver damage are usually vomiting, lack of appetite, and lethargy.

Along with the process progression the damage to the liver exacerbates and might lead to yellowing of the body— jaundice coupled with severe weight loss.

Because the nervous system can use only glucose as a source of energy, liver failure leads to lack of glucose and damage to the nervous system.

This condition will usually be manifested by neurological symptoms such as seizures, and eventually coma and death.

The condition is diagnosed first by a veterinary physical exam, and a blood test that shows changes associated with liver damage.

The ultimate diagnosis is an ultrasound exam

including sampling of the liver tissue with a needle.

The treatment for fatty liver is done by aggressive feeding of the animal by either force feeding with a syringe, or placement of a gastric tube.

The earlier the condition is diagnosed and treated the better the chances of recovery.

The best way to prevent fatty liver is by keeping the animal’s body weight normal.

Prevent obesity by feeding a good quality food and limit the amount of food only to the amount required for the animal.

Do not overfeed your pet, however tempting that may be.

If your cat is overweight and suddenly stops eating, do not wait for too long. Take it to see your veterinarian as soon as you notice the changes.

Even one to two days of fasting can lead to severe damage.

Because fatty liver tends to be secondary to other disease that led to the loss of appetite from first place, finding the underlying source of the problem is essential.

JOBS ▼ WORK OPPORTUNITIES

There are jobs aplenty in the trucking industry across B.C. For those considering training prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the trucking industry is likely to grow—to 2020 and beyond.

Job seekers are in luck when it comes to the commercial road transportation industry in British Columbia.

Trucking companies throughout B.C. require professional drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and operations staff right now, which means that job seekers with experience and/or training may find work within their preferred region.

For those considering training prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the industry is likely to grow—to 2020 and beyond.

There are a number of reasons for this.

For truck drivers, the industry is facing a North America-wide shortage because most are 45 years of age or older and nearing retirement (in fact, in Canada, according to a report by the Canada Trucking Human Resources Council, 58 per cent of long-haul truck drivers fall in this age range).

Similar shortages exist for other jobs, including diesel engine and heavy duty mechanics.

Aside from worker shortages, economic growth in the Asia-Pacific Gateway is also driving

demand for workers in transportation.

This applies not only to companies in the Lower Mainland, but in other regions as well, since the Asia-Pacific “Gateway” is actually made up of an integrated supply chain of airports, seaports, rail and road connections, and border crossings, from Prince Rupert to Surrey, with links supplied by trucking.

Today’s trucking industry is an exciting place to be. Equipment in many companies is state of the art, meaning increased comfort and ease for drivers and opportunities for

mechanics to work with technologically advanced systems, keeping both their skills and interest engaged.

Dispatch relies on sophisticated tracking and routing systems. Others on the operations side also use information technology of many kinds to deal with everything from licences and permits, to customer services, accounting, sales and marketing.

And, people joining the industry have many career choices.

Drivers, for example, may work close to home as pick-up and delivery or

short-haul drivers. Those who like the idea of travelling across Canada or North America can become long-haul drivers for an employer or work as owner-operators.

Drivers may haul consumer goods, fuel, logs, heavy-duty equipment, livestock—most of what we purchase or consume spent some time on the road with a commercial truck.

If you already have experience as a driver, mechanic or operations worker, most companies advertise jobs on their websites.

Members of the B.C.

Trucking Association from across the province may post jobs under Careers on www.bctrucking.com, and the provincial and federal governments maintain job sites at WorkBC (http:// www.workbc.ca/Jobs/) and Working in Canada (http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/, choose Explore Careers by Occupation, then by Region).

Within your own community, it may also pay to approach a company you’d like to work for, drop off a résumé and inquire if and when they’ll be hiring.

If you’d like to en-

ter the industry but need training, there are also many avenues to explore.

Although there is not a standard training course for professional drivers, there are numerous private schools throughout B.C. that offer programs.

For information on transportation trades in B.C., including mechanics and other technicians, visit transCDA (http:// www.tcda.ca/home). And for information on trucking careers in general, see www.truckingcareers.ca.

Your own community and region depend on trucking. It may also offer the right career for you.

Trucking company drivers do more than just sit behind the wheel Professional drivers are at the heart of every trucking company.

This profession has rewards for every lifestyle. Long-haul drivers can truly experience

the freedom and adventure of the open road while travelling across North America.

Short-haul drivers can experience independence while driving and still be home with

their family every night.

But professional drivers do much more than just driving.

They must be able to plan and adapt their route at a moments notice, be very organized, be

knowledgeable about rules and regulations regarding vehicle and load weights and dimensions, safety equipment, rules of the road, transportation of dangerous goods, crossing the

border to and from the U.S., etc., and be emergency mechanics for their trucks and other equipment when needed.

Drivers are also front-line personnel dealing directly with

customers and must be both professional and personable.

In addition, professional drivers have the option of becoming owner-operators and starting their own business.

SILICON VALLEY’S Larry Ellison’s purchase of Lanai includes the Lodge at Koele, photographed here in October 2012.

▼ ISLAND’S NEW OWNER

Oracle’s Ellison wins tepid ‘Aloha’ on Lanai Dan Nakaso CONTRIBUTOR

Known as a swashbuckling, litigious tech titan, Silicon Valley’s Larry Ellison has earned a kinder reputation on his recently purchased island of Lanai: He’s the man who reopened the community pool.

Through that modest act, Ellison has already won over some of the island’s 3,200 residents, who were used to living under the tighter purse strings of Lanai’s last owner, fellow billionaire David Murdock.

“Murdock was shutting the money off and cutting costs,” said Lanai resident Pat Reilly, 72, who spent 31 years as a counselor at Lanai High and Elementary School.

“With the sale, the faucet came back on.”

Still, five months after the Pineapple Island was sold to the Oracle cofounder, the people of Lanai have yet to hear directly from him. They are left to parse the tidbits from a single interview that Ellison gave last month, and are still guessing at what his reign might mean for their future on the

THE LANAI PLANTATION STORE on Lanai Avenue sits in the heart of Lanai City, Hawaii.

141-square mile island with no stoplights.

Ellison, one of the world’s richest men with a net worth estimated at $41 billion, signed an agreement in June to purchase 98 percent of the island from Murdock’s Castle & Cooke for an undisclosed price, although Castle & Cooke told Hawaii’s Public Utilities Commission in a filing that the deal was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The island has enjoyed a mini-construction boom since, thanks to Ellison’s upgrading of its two luxury resorts. As the state

has seen record high tourism numbers, Lanai has benefited too, with unemployment dropping to 1.6 per cent in September, far below the 5.7 per cent rate for the entire state.

The former plantation island has long been dominated by landowners—first Dole Pineapple and then Castle & Cooke. When Murdock took over, he transformed Lanai’s rural island into a tourist-based economy, sparking resentment among some island inhabitants.

ics in August when he reopened the island’s only community pool after it was inexplicably shut-

tered seven years ago.

On a much bigger scale, Ellison told CNBC in October that he wants

to turn Lanai into a “little laboratory” for sustainable living.

Ellison told CNBC that he wants to use his control over Lanai’s utilities to convert seawater into fresh water; create drip irrigation systems for new organic farms designed to develop new export markets; and increase the number of electric cars on Lanai.

Ellison’s initiatives sound good to Ron McOmber, 74, who drives his own GEM electric vehicle with the customized license plate “LANAI” and fought Castle & Cooke construction and development plans for years as a founding member of the community group Lanaians for Sensible Growth.

Still, McOmber is cautious about whether Ellison’s words will become reality.

“Our hopes are that he will not be another David Murdock with the attitude, ‘I’m arrogant and rich and you’ll do everything my way. If you don’t like it, you’ll do it my way anyway,’ “ McOmber said. Ellison “hasn’t met anyone here and he hasn’t even given an interview in this state. What does that tell you? He needs to talk to us and meet the people that care about this place.”

McOmber’s suspicions about Ellison grew when Ellison’s Oracle Team USA yacht racing team filed plans with Hawaii’s Department of Transportation to use Lanai’s only commercial

harbor, Kamalapau, as a winter base—without notifying residents.

The team told Hawaii officials in their filings that its San Francisco port is not ideal for research and training during winter months.

The team abandoned its plans in September, after Lanai residents objected.

“Mr. Ellison has invested a lot of money on Lanai but he needs to come down and be with us and talk with us people,” said Dolores M. Fabrao, who spent 20 years as director of nursing at Lanai Hospital. “Person to person matters in Hawaii and people want to talk to the boss every once in a while. Land is important in Hawaii. But the people who live on the land are more important.”

Murdock took control of Lanai in 1985 when he became chairman and CEO of the then-bankrupt Castle & Cooke, one of Hawaii’s original “Big Five” companies that ruled the islands during the reign of Hawaii’s pineapple and sugar plantations, which lasted from the late 1800s through the 1990s.

In 1990, Murdock opened the 102-room Lodge at Koele that sits among pine trees at an elevation of 1,600-feet above Lanai City. The following year, Murdock unveiled the 249-room Manele Bay Hotel along Lanai’s

The “most affordable” rooms at the Lodge at Koele this month were advertised at $420 per night.

“Prime” rooms with ocean views at Manele Bay were starting at $899 per night on weekends.

By 1993, Murdock had killed the last of Lanai’s pineapple operations and converted a workforce dominated by Filipino farm laborers into resort hospitality employees suddenly focused on servicing high-end visitors, Dnot crops.

As the people of Lanai underwent huge economic and cultural shifts, Castle & Cooke’s financial troubles across Hawaii continued to grow and Murdock saw annual slosses between $20 miltlion and $30 million from 2006 to 2010.

- Under Ellison, La-nai could have a second -chance as both a model of environmental sustaingability and a high-end resort destination for maindland and international ,visitors, said David Uchi-yama, vice-president of tourism and marketing for -the Hawaii Tourism Auythority.

“What little contact I’ve had with Mr. Elli”son’s group, they seem ,to be very sensitive to the -host culture and to the -community, which I think gets everything started on ithe right foot in regards to othe relationship with the apeople of Lanai,” Uchityama said. “That’s always ea good step in the right edirection. I’m expecting good things.”

THE BACK DOOR opens almost 90 degrees to reveal a sizable rear seating area.

The SE features the 1.6-litre EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine making 178 hp and 184 lb/ft of torque in either FWD or all-wheel-drive (AWD).

EcoBoost is Ford’s use of turbocharging and leading-edge technology such as variable valve timing and direct fuel injection for reduced fuel consumption but with the power of a larger displacement normally aspirated engine.

On the SEL and Titanium (as tested) the EcoBoost four-cylinder is a 2.0-litre unit with 240 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque.

The SEL is available in FWD and AWD while the Titanium is fitted with AWD only.

In terms of fuel consumption, the Titanium in FWD format gets 9.5/6.7L/100 km (30/42 mpg) city/highway, while the AWD scores 9.8/6.9L/100 km (29/41 mpg) city/highway. Interestingly, the federal environmental stewardship tax on the Titanium is $30 when it is usually about $100.

Although the engine may be small in terms of size, EcoBoost gives it the equivalent power of a V6,

thus the tow rating in up to 1,588 kg (3,500 lb).

In terms of cargo volume, there are 971 litres (34.3 cu ft) behind the second row split/fold rear seat and 1,920 litres (67.8 cu ft) behind the front seats.

Tested here is the top-of-the-line Titanium which leaves no Ford option unplumbed and part of the $37,499 base price which included the Kodiak Brown Metallic paint.

Along with strides made in fuel consump-

tion, electronics and materials, paint is often overlooked. But on this Escape the deep, rich brown was, as far as I could tell, free of imperfections.C Hard to believe it was a mass production paint job, but the proof was literally right before my eyes.

Speaking of electronics, the tester came with the MyFord Touch infotainment system with satellite radio and navigation See Ford B3

lel parking spot and activate the system and it sizes the space up, and if big enough, works the steering and brakes to tuck you in.

Lastly on the amenities side, I think the sensor under the rear bumper that detects when you swipe your foot beneath it and automatically opens the rear liftgate is pure genius.

No more fumbling for the keys with two arm loads of groceries.

I covered close to 600 km in the Escape on mostly major highways, but there were a lot of back roads as well.

Ford’s AdvanceTrac stability/traction control system comes with Curve Control that can slow you

that is an optional ($700) part of the Ford SYNC suite of driver/passenger aids.

While it does all the things you’d expect from a navi/sound/info system, it also recognizes thousands of voice commands.

For instance, you can tell it to change the radio station, get someone on the phone, or set the climate control.

At $1,500, another option was the Parking Technology Package, again with things you might expect such as Blind Spot Detection and rear backup camera. But it also includes the Auto Park System which does just that.

Pull up to a paral-

down as much as 16 km/h in one second if it senses you are entering a bend going too fast.

Also part of the system is Roll Stability Control and optionally available is a trailer towing package included sway control that reduces engine speed and starts putting on the brakes when it senses trouble.

Because you sit slightly higher, the driver’s view forward and to the side is good but it is greatly aided by the blind spot system.

When you pass another vehicle, it flashes until you are well ahead and then you can pull back into a slower lane and see what you are doing all the time.

As noted, ‘base’ price for the Titanium Escape was $37,499. With the above mentioned options and a few more such as leather seating ($750) and the power panorama sunroof ($1,759) total options were $4,830 bringing the all-in cost to $42,329, not including the $1,500 shipping fee.

Considering all the amenities, the price is highly attractive compared to some of the import luxury compact CUVs and I would definitely include the Titanium in the luxury class.

I could never have said that about the previous

generation Escape, but it shows how Ford, despite being more than a century old, has not let itself lag.

Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

Everything old is new again.

At least it is in the automotive field when it comes to naming new vehicles.

It’s not uncommon for manufacturers to dredge up old nameplates from the past and Dodge is the latest to do so with its new 2013 Dart compact.

Many people of my generation will think back to Dodge Darts of the past, particularly the 340 cu. in. Dart Swinger of the early ’70s. Some have fond memories, others like a friend I spoke with this week were less than enamoured with them.

But while the ’70s models are the ones that would first come to mind for many of us when you mention the name Dodge Dart, this was actually the fourth generation of a model that first debuted in

1963 as a full-size sedan.

And while it’s great to reminisce about the “good old days”, the fact is today’s Dodge Dart is about as far removed from the original Dart as you can get.

For starters, the new one has a European heritage based on the same platform as its Italian cousin, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta—all thanks to the Fiat takeover of Chrysler a couple of years back. In fact, the Dart is the first Chrysler Group vehicle built on Fiat architecture, although it is manufactured in North America at its Illinois assembly plant.

Secondly, the new Dart is actually a compact car although it has interior space on par or better than many mid-size vehicles.

The new Dart debuts in Canada with five trim

This is a $1,500 option on the Rallye trim and it was mated with a six-speed manual transmission.

Standard on the Dart is a 160 hp 2.0-litre Tigershark engine, while driving enthusiasts will likely opt for a new 184 hp Tigershark 16-valve

Soft-touch materials make Dart interior very inviting the signature Dodge split crosshair grille. From the rear, the Dart has dual exhausts and Charger-inspired tail lamps with 152 LEDs. Inside, the interior is very pleasant with nice use of soft-touch materials, but I don’t think it matches up with the similarly priced 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT that we recently tested.

However, during recent 2013 Car of the Year testing by members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) in the Small Car Under $21K category, the Dart topped the competition as far as interior styling/appearance was concerned with a score of 7.5 of out 10, besting Mazda3 Skyactiv Sedan, Kia Rio LX, Nissan Sentra, Toyota Prius c and Chevrolet Spark.

Overall, the Mazda3 topped the class with the Kia Rio second and the Nissan Sentra third. The Dart was fourth overall, two points back of the Sentra and 12 behind the Mazda. The Elantra GT, meanwhile, was named Best Small Car over $21K. The Dart has the roomiest interior its the segment with class-leading hip and shoulder room—important for us ‘big bodied” North Americans.

I particularly liked the comfy seats, the nice use of ambient lighting inside and the fact that buyers can “personalize” their vehicle with a choice of 12 exterior colours, 13 interior colour and trim combinations, seven wheel options, three engine options and three transmission choices.

Also impressive was the 8.4-inch touch screen Media Centre on my test vehicle. Sitting atop the centre stack, it was big and bright with easy-toread graphics, however,

the navigation system was very slow and dated looking.

The turbo four with its MultiAir technology has lots of grunt with its 184 lb/ft of torque. Getting up to peak torque range above 2500 rpm takes some work in first gear, but when the engine reaches its sweet spot, the turbocharged engine winds out nicely. I found the clutch a bit temperamental and jerky at first, but it’s probably more because of the driver than the clutch.

In my opinion, the Dart has its work cut out for it against class leaders like the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Mazda 3, and Hyundai Elantra, but it is nevertheless, a huge step forward from the Caliber and a sure bet to help Chrysler continue its month over month sales records in Canada.

If you’re shopping the compact market, the Dart should be on your list.

interior benefits from abundant soft-touch surfaces and metallic accents and is among the best in the compact segment.

i have answered questionsH from half a dozen neigh-b bours about the bright redp 2013 Hyundai Elantra GTb sitting outside the house. e That confirms for mes that Hyundai is well pastt the days when it sold vehicles on price alone.

That’s not to say that price is not a factor in the phenomenal sales success the South Korean automaker has enjoyed, but it is only part of the story.

Styling has made the Elantra, and others in the Hyundai model lineup, vehicles that people WANT to buy, not just HAVE to buy because they are inexpensive.

Hyundai now hasc three variants of the Elan-d tra on the market witha the introduction of thec five-door GT hatchbacku this year as a 2013 mod-f el along with the Elantra Coupe and Sedan.m This has made the Elantrap nameplate one of the topw selling models in Canadao with record sales of 5,054w units in August alone.

S The fourth-generation Elantra sedan has a greatw track record already anda has won numerous accol-G ades, including the Auto-2 mobile Journalists Asso-s ciation of Canada (AJAC) Car of the Year and Northa American Car of the Yeart for 2012, so the additiona of the GT and Coupe onlyd add to the already impres-F sive sales numbers of thet model.

Hyundai GT has European heritage as it is based on the i30 Hyundai from B8 up and adds a great deal more flair to the five-door variant. The Touring was more of a wagon, while the GT is a sleek-looking five-door hatchback.

Using the ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ styling that Hyundai has adopted as a brand, the GT has a European heritage in that it is based on the i30 model sold overseas. It has a slightly shorter wheelbase than the sedan, but the

corporate styling is evident with the large hexagonal grille and the dual character lines that flow upward from the front fenders.

These design elements help create a slippery aerodynamic profile with a coefficient of drag of 0.30, bettering or on par with all but the Mazda3 Sport in the segment.

The Touring model was already a solid seller and Hyundai expects the GT to account for about 25 per cent of all Elantras sold here in Canada.

It sits, however, in an extremely competitive segment, facing off against cars like the Mazda3 Sport, Kia Forte5, Ford Focus, Toyota Matrix, Volkswagen Golf and Subaru Impreza among others.

This is where price comes into play and the GT is very well priced,

Fuel consumption is rated at 7.8/5.3/6.7L/100 km city/highway/combined with the manual and 7.6/5.3/6.6L/100 km for the automatic.

The European-tuned suspension of the GT means it is calibrated more for increased responsiveness and handling (i.e. better driver involvement), whereas the sedan is tuned in for more comfort.

With its hatchback design and fold-flat secondrow seats, the Elantra GT has one of the roomiest cabins in the segment.

Cargo volume is 651 litres with the rear seats upright and 1,444 litres with the seats down.

Adding to the family-friendliness of the GT is the number of convenient stowage and storage features throughout the cabin.

We tested the topend SE with Tech Package that came loaded with everything the GT can throw at you, including a neat rear view camera hidden behind the Hyundai emblem on the trunk lid. When the shifter is popped into reverse, the emblem tilts out to expose the camera. Cool!

At $26,349 the SE with Tech also features leather seats and door trim, seven-inch touch screen navigation screen, 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control, auto-dimming rear view mirror, proximity keyless entry with push button start, alloy pedals, 360watt sound system and mirror mounted turn signal indicators.

-Hyundai from B10 e The GLS version, epriced at $21,349 is expected to be the volume leader and it adds power adjustable driver’s seat, panoramic sunroof, fog tlamps, 16-inch alloys and leather-wrapped steering wheel to the base model.

The six-speed automatic is a $1,200 option.

On the road, the GT efeels like much more of a edriver’s car than the sedan, -largely because of the European tuning, which tgravitates to the sportier side of the equation.

- Inside, wind and road noise is negligible at cruishing speed, but engine nnoise picks up when you gaccelerate rapidly or on asteep inclines.

- Otherwise, the car is comfortable, quiet and easy to drive. All in all, the eGT is a great family car at ea reasonable price.

HOLTJER, ELSO BENO April 17, 1931 ~ October 18, 2012 Elso Holtjer was a 60 year resident of Kelowna and will be remembered by many. Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Elso met his true love Mecha in 1946 when they were 15. Elso was quick to become a Millwright and at the top of his class in 1947. In 1953 Elso and Mecha married, sailed to Canada and discovered Kelowna.

Elso soon went from picking fruit to repairing tractors. In 1954 he joined Kelowna Machine Shop. By 1956 he was mechanic and welder at Orchard City Motors. Elso soon had a reputation, if it could not be fixed, take it to Elso. In 1958, their first son, James, was born. Also in 1958 while Elso was working days and building their new house at night, he was offered a job with the West Coast Amusement midway, nurturing an aging fleet of trucks across Canada.

The team of Elso and Mecha, with Jim in tow, helped keep the trucks, machines and the “carnies” working and in good spirits. In 1964, a new son, David was born and their oldest son James was now at Raymer Elementary. Elso then started & owned Kelowna Marina where he was repairing and rebuilding boats, with much of Kelowna popping in, Elso loved the many challenging business ventures like the Unlimited Hydroplanes, Kelowna Regatta, and even moving houses by barge on Okanagan Lake. In 1969, Elso went back into heavy truck repair and in 1970, after 4 years as Service Manager supervising 10 heavy duty mechanics; Elso began working for a large general contractor and logging firm. Elso and sons, Jim and David, soon were all employed together. Throughout his life Elso bought, repaired and enjoyed many, many cars, motorcycles and boats and in 1979 while converting a school bus into a diesel RV, Elso had an idea. He created “Mechanic On Wheels”. Soon with a self-outfitted service truck with all the power tools etc. he could ever need, Elso was the one to call to repair and get heavy duty trucks and equipment going wherever it broke. Tragically after 24yrs with Mechanic On Wheels, at age 72, Elso was working on a rainy day, slipped and fell off a truck fuel tanker. With his kidneys now failed and lungs damaged, Elso’s last repair project was himself.

Elso was Renal and in trouble. But 6 years later in 2008, doctors in Toronto congratulated him on his incredible progress, dialysis was no long necessary. At age 78, Elso and Mecha spent the rest of their lives in & out of hospital care, surviving off of each other`s love & taking care of each other. This January, Elso’s true love, lifelong partner and teammate of 67 years - Hermina (Mecha) Maria Holtjer, sadly, but blessedly, died at the age of 82 – needless to say, he missed her very much. Therefore, it was no surprise that this October, Elso took his last journey and went off to be reunited with his one true love.

Elso is survived by his sister Gerda Luijten in the Netherlands, and sons Jim in Summerland, BC. and David in Oliver, BC. For those of you that have known both Mecha & Elso, we would hope you benefit from their words,

“life is short – turn the page” and “always kiss each other good night”.

NOTICE OF INTENT T12-115 Consulting Services – Phase 1, Stellar Booster Station Notice is hereby given by the City of Kelowna of its intent to contract with AECOM of Kelowna BC to provide complete consulting services for detailed design, tendering, construction supervision, commissioning support and post construction services for the Phase 1 expansion of the Stellar Booster Station and reservoir.

The contract will not exceed $282,000 or 11% of the estimated construction value including all expenses and is expected to be complete by Spring 2014.

The City has chosen not to call for supplier proposals for the following reasons: 1. This expansion is a vital component of the overall Cedar Creek water supply project being designed by AECOM. It is located in the middle of the water supply process chain and will control flow to the Adam’s UV treatment facility currently being designed by this consultant.

2. Effective control and project coordination is crucial to ensure the effectiveness of the Adam’s UV treatment facility.

3. AECOM has completed the preliminary design work to date.

4. It is the intention of the City to tender the Stellar Booster station and Adams UV Disinfection facility as one project to reduce construction coordination costs and effort.

5. Timing of completion of both systems is critical to complying with filtration deferral requirements.

Suppliers wishing to object to this decision should contact the person identified below either by fax or email on or before December 3, 2012 presenting specific reasons for their objection. If justified a supplier(s) meeting with City representatives will be called to receive supplier presentations regarding this contract.

Supplier ability to offer product and/or services resulting in the same or better solutions at a lower cost during the same time frame will be the key criterion with regard to any supplier objections.

Submissions are to be sent to: Tracy Lundberg, City of Kelowna Purchasing Department, 1435 Water Street, Kelowna BC V1Y 1J4, Telephone 250-469-8530 or Fax 250-862-3392 or email purchasing@kelowna. kelowna.ca

ARTIST’S rendition of the Academy Hill development that is targeted at meeting the demand for student housing near the UBCO campus.

Academy Hill eager to make the grade Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

If every student who attended UBCO wanted to live on campus, about only 25 per cent of them would currently get their wish.

With over 7,000 students enrolled at the Okanagan university, and 1,700 campus residences to accommodate them, there seems to be a gap in student housing.

Academy Hill is a new development, currently under construction, that is hoping to meet that demand.

“There is a big shortage of on-campus housing, and a lot of the students up there are looking for alternative housing in the Rutland area as well as Winfield,” said Rob Hager, who is in charge of sales and marketing for Academy Hill.

He noted the first phase is scheduled to be complete by August 2013 to allow for Sept. 1 occupancies. “The first phase of Academy Hill is going to be 48 residences that

start on the second, third and fourth floors,” said Hager.

On the ground level there will be a few retail outlets, he added. A timeline for the second phase has yet to be determined, but it will include another 30 suites. A grocery store and pub are also planned to be included in the development.

“It was designed purposefully to kind of fit in with the landscape that already surrounds the campus,” Hager said. “If you take a look at the architecture of the existing on-campus UBCO residences, Academy Hill kind of reflects the same type of architecture. So it blends in really well.”

Fourteen residences have been purchased since Academy Hill began selling last month. The majority of buyers so far are parents who have kids attending, or planning to attend, UBCO. “It just makes sense as an investment in their child…four or five years (later), after they’ve graduated, (buyers) can

Students aren’t always the cleanest tenants, but Hager said the Academy Hill suites are being built with that in mind.

“They were built to absorb any kind of punishment…they’re very

resilient. We have a furnished show suite on site, so we welcome people to take a look at it. (So far) people have been very impressed by what they see.”

Although Hager said it was not Academy Hill’s original strategy to target those who work near the airport, he admitted the development might also be an appealing option for them.

The timing of Academy Hill’s construction is another positive factor, according to Hager. “Over time it should appreciate because the market has been at its lowest for the past four, five, six years.

It’s going to rebound at some point. You pretty much know that you’re going to have 100 per cent occupancy, because there’s a need for it.”

s a born and raised local of Kelowna, I have become accustomed to and spoiled by our four season playground.

Kelowna has many focal points that make our area a popular place to live— our beautiful lakes, our ski community and many different neighbourhoods.

One up and coming REAL ESTATE neighbourhood that I feel RUNDOWN often gets overlooked is the community of Rutland.

Rutland offers solid single family homes at affordable pricing and Ceinwen a variation of condominMorgan iums.

Also located in Rutland is where you’ll find the acclaimed golf community of Tower Ranch, showcasing stunning valley views and a variety of high-end single-family homes on the market now for as low as $439,900.

The local high school, Rutland Senior Secondary, has some of the best and most intricate academic programs in Kelowna such as advanced placement through BCIT dual credit courses and a secondary school apprenticeship program.

Lew MacDonald a resident of Rutland, stated recently how Brent Applegath, the video production teacher at Rutland Senior Secondary, helped her son, Hayden, take his love of film and focus in on a bachelor’s degree in motion picture arts.

“Hayden started his first year at Capilano University in September thanks to Mr. Applegath and RSS,” MacDonald said.

Along with great schools, Rutland has one of the only BMX tracks in Kelowna, several different sports fields, a local YMCA, skate park and a water park.

“Rutland is recognized as a key urban centre in the City of Kelowna’s official community plan and it’s been the focus of a number of key planning initiatives in the past few years to realize the vision of creating an attractive town centre in uptown Rutland,” said Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray.

The city has also implemented the second phase of the Kelowna Rapid Bus project, called the Rutland Transit Exchange, at a cost of $4.5 million,with constructon scheduled to start next spring.

This project will focus on enhancing the convenience of a bus service schedule for every 15 minutes or better during peak hours.

“It’s really a complex and complete community. As we see the four corners finally being built out, over the years to come we’re going to see the community blossom,” added Norm Letnick, the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country, a riding that encompasses part of Rutland.

Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
