‘Unnerving’ arrest relived on the stand
New firehalls plan too costly for city council Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Buddy Tavares, the man kicked in the face by a Kelowna RCMP officer in an arrest that was caught on video, describes the moment he was stopped at gunpoint by Const. Geoff Mantler as the “most unnerving moment I’ve ever had.” Tavares was recounting the moments of his arrest on Jan. 7, 2011, in a Kelowna courtroom yesterday during the opening day of Mantler’s trial on a charge of assault causing bodily harm to Tavares. That January morning, Tavares, who had recently been released from hospital after a motorcycle accident he was not expected to survive, stopped by his former workplace. Tavares stopped in at the Harvest Golf Club and chatted with an employee before going to the second fairway to fire off a shotgun to scare the geese away. It is something Tavares had done many times before, he testified. After completing the task, Tavares drove toward the courthouse to deal with an issue related to his marital separation when he noticed a police vehicle do a U-turn at Gordon Drive and KLO Road. Soon after, as he neared Pandosy Street, he spotted police lights in his rear view mirror and pulled over to let the vehicle pass, Tavares testified. “I thought he was going where the other cops were going,” the now 53-year-old said. Instead, he found himself staring at a police officer who had trained his gun on him. The officer told him to keep his hands on the wheel. “If one comes off, I will shoot you,” Tavares recalls the officer saying. “I froze, I did not move,” said Tavares. “Had you ever had a gun pointed at you before?” asked Crown counsel William Burrows. “Never,” said Tavares. “It was the most unnerving moment I’ve ever had.” “I asked him, ‘What did I do?’” testified Tavares. The officer did not respond to the question and soon asked Tavares to take his right had off the wheel and unfasten his seat belt.

Kelowna city council has shelved a fire department plan that calls for two new fire halls and as many as 40 more firefighters over the next 10 years, saying it’s too expensive. The proposed new 2012-2022 strategic plan was to be presented to council Monday. But at the council meeting, Fire Chief Jeff Carlisle said, based on early feedback to the plan, he was advising council to hold off accepting it in principle. The plan was released late last week. And based on the comments he received about the plan from the mayor and councillors at Monday’s meeting, it appears unlikely the plan would not have been approved anyway. “There is a lot more consultation needed,” said Coun. Gail Given. “I’m not entirely certain we can afford this at this time.” Her colleague Coun. Andre Blanleil was more blunt. “I think this plan is unaffordable,” he told Carlisle. “We need a plan we can afford and I don’t think this is it.” The fire department’s new strategic plan, meant to replace the current one
Jeff Carlisle
drawn up two years ago, was requested by city council. It includes several recommendations, the biggest of which are the building, manning and equipping of two new fireballs in the city over the next 10 years. The new halls are called for in the North Glenmore and KLO/Gordon areas. While the North Glenmore hall was expected and has been eyed for several years, the emergence of the KLO/Gordon area hall in the plan was new. The new plan identifies what it calls a gap in resources in the South Pandosy urban area and a lack of resources to back up the existing Mission fire station and says the KLO/Gordon hall would address that. But the plan does not stop there.

Shopping plaza fire destroys four businesses Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Owners of the businesses affected by the Burtch Plaza fire, which gutted four storeys early Monday morning, should know more about where their businesses go from here by today. At about 1 a.m. Monday morning, the Kelowna Fire Department responded to several 911 calls indicating smoke and flames were coming from Burtch Plaza, the shopping complex just south of Global Fitness on Highway 97 where BCAA and Cora’s Breakfast and Lunch are located. The fire destroyed a sports shop, Soccer Express, pottery business, Color Me Mine, water purification outlet, EcoWater 2000, and Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza. “We’re going to have a strata meeting tomorrow and we should know more by then,” said Soccer Ex-
JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS
THE DAMAGE to the Burtch Plaza shopping centre caused by a fire early Monday morning was extensive as four businesses were burned out and two others remained closed yesterday. press owner Brad Leitch, who drove here from the Lower Mainland Monday morning to assess the situation after receiving a call
overnight to say his store was on fire. Soccer Express is one of three outlets and a distribution centre he owns,
and Leitch admitted the details of what occurred were unclear to him when he left for the trip. Leitch said he under-
stood the fire had started in the roof of one of the businesses connected to his and that the firewalls at Cora’s Breakfast and Lunch and Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza likely stopped the blaze from spreading. “The firewalls are usually built to keep the fire in the restaurant, although in this case it looks like it kept it out,” he said. A statement from the fire department released six hours after the fire was reported said fire crews arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the roof above Soccer Express and EcoWater 2000, beside
Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza. By mid-afternoon Tuesday, platoon captain Tim Light gave a radio interview saying the department believed the source of the fire was somewhere in the Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza roof; although it would be difficult to tell what actually sparked the blaze due to the extent of the damage. “Fire crews started with an offensive interior attack, but were forced to change to a defensive exterior attack when the ceiling of the units collapsed,” Light said. RCMP evacuated one employee from Cora’s restaurant upon arrival, and fire crews then followed by evacuating residents from the nearby Laurentian Heights apartments off Kelglen Crescent. Two years ago, the same rental apartments burned in a similar middle-of-the-night blaze and close to 100 people lost their homes. It remains one of the uglier fire incidents in the city’s recent history as very few had rental insurance and many were operating on modest incomes. No one was injured in Monday’s fire, although several businesses will lose income in the Christmas lead-up. In addition to the four businesses destroyed, places like the Cora’s outlet, BCAA and Ten Thou-
sand Villages remain closed. “We didn’t suffer any fire damage, but there is certainly some water and smoke damage,” read a statement on the Ten Thousand Villages Facebook page. “We won’t know the full extent of damage until we are allowed back in the store and we’re not sure when that will be.” The Colour Me Mine Facebook page was apologizing to customers, though the store was among those destroyed and three doors away from the apparent source. “We can’t express how much we appreciate the enormous amount of support from the community at this time,” the shop’s page stated. “We are so, so sorry to those customers affected by this unfortunate event.” The Kelowna Fire Department deployed four fire engines, a rescue vehicle, a ladder truck, command vehicle and several support vehicles to fight the fire. It took some 44 fire personnel over the course of the night to complete the job. The property manager for Burtch Plaza said she had not been given information on damages and does not have an estimated re-opening date as yet. jjsmith@kelownacapnews.com

CONTRIBUTOR
B.C.’s toughened roadside penalties on drinking drivers are being credited with cutting alcohol-related crash deaths for a second straight year. The province estimates 104 lives have been saved since the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP)
bian attitudes to drinking and getting behind the wheel. “As you drive home late at night, the car coming toward you is far less likely to be piloted by an impaired driver than at any time in recent years,” Justice Minister Shirley Bond said. She said B.C. is so far averaging a 46 per cent
drop in drunk driving fatalities—better than a target of 35 per cent set in 2010 in honour of impaired driving victim Alexa Middelaer.
The roadside penalties can result in licence suspensions, vehicle impoundments and can cost drivers $600 to $4,000 in administrative penal-
ties and remedial program costs. The new approach has also meant a major shift away from criminal prosecution of suspected im-
paired drivers, which consumes much police investigation and court time.

REMEMBRANCE…Paul Hergott, a Capital News columnist and advocate for safer driving
habits, led the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims service held in the Orchard Park Mall parking lot last week. In the last five years, 578 people have been killed in car crashes in the Southern Interior, with an average of 116 people killed every year. Speeding is the leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. On average, 47 people are killed each year in the Southern Interior in speed-related crashes. Each October there is an average of 33 crashes resulting in injuries or death in the Southern Interior due to people driving too fast for the conditions. That number more than triples in December to 109 as the driving conditions worsen. The National Day of Remembrance is intended to acknowledge traffic accident victims and encourage drivers to reflect on how their own driving behaviours can help keep themselves and everyone on our roads safe.

â–ź WINTERTIRES
3 Course Dinner
Report says safety benefits misunderstood Only half of Canadian drivers (52 per cent) use winter tires, despite their proven superior performance in all cold-weather road conditions. Canadian drivers lag in adopting winter tires in spite of evidence that their use saves lives and reduces road-accident injuries. A 2011 study by the Quebec government shows that winter road-accident injuries have dropped by five per cent since winter tire use was made mandatory by law in 2008. Widespread use of winter tires is credited with preventing about 575 injuries per winter in the province. These findings are supported by a new report from the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) that concludes that winter tires decrease costly collisions. The report cites extensive research that shows that winter tires deliver superior traction, cornering and braking on all cold-weather road surfaces. “All the evidence points to winter tires being the safest choice for driving in cold weather,� says Glenn Maidment, president of the Rubber Association of Canada , which represents tire makers. “Drivers should carefully consider whether winter tires are right for them and make an educated choice.� This fall, tire makers are urging motorists to get the facts about winter tires.
A wealth of on-line information about the performance advantages of winter tires is available at the RAC’s website www. rubberassociation.ca. The TIRF report, entitled Winter Tires: A Review of Research on Effectiveness and Use, stresses that the benefits of winter tires are not well understood and clarifies commonly held myths about winter tires. Many motorists, for example, think that winter tires are only useful in regions with lots of snow. In fact, research shows that, once temperatures drop below 7 C, winter tires perform better whether the road surface is dry, snow covered, slushy or icy. Winter tires feature specialized rubber compounds that retain elasticity in temperatures below -30 C and treads that grip at cold temperatures. In fact, winter tires deliver up to 50 per cent more cold-weather traction than all-seasons. Another misconception is that all-season or summer tires provide sufficient traction in winter. One of the most important advantages of winter tires is reduced stopping distance when braking. According to research cited by the TIRF report, at temperatures just below freezing on dry pavement
stopping distance for vehicles with all-season tires can be as much as 30 per cent longer than for vehicles with winter tires. Winter tires have also been shown to have better traction on a snowy surface at -40 C than an all-season tire has at 4 C . Some motorists avoid winter tires because their vehicles are equipped with anti-lock braking systems, all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
‘‘
WINTER TIRES AND PROPER INFLATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED DRIVING ESSENTIALS FROM DECEMBER TO APRIL. Glenn Maidment, Rubber Association of Canada president
The TIRF report notes that these systems require sufficient traction to be effective and that winter tires provide that needed traction. Another commonly believed myth is that two winter tires, rather than a set of four, is sufficiently safe. Mixing different types of tires creates a traction imbalance between the front and rear wheel positions and can cause a vehicle to “over steer� (when the winter tires are mount-
ed on the front axle) or “under steer� (when the winter tires are on the rear axle). These unsafe conditions can make a vehicle difficult to control, particularly when cornering. Proper tire inflation is also important during the winter-driving month. Tires that are under-orover inflated have a smaller footprint on the road surface, which lessens their grip. The result is reduced stopping and handling capabilities and wasted fuel. Tire inflation pressure can drop quickly during cold snaps. Every five degrees Celsius change results in about one psi change in pressure, so a temperature drop of -15 C would result in 10 per cent or three psi under-inflation. During winter, tire makers recommend measuring tire inflation frequently using a reliable tire gauge to ensure tires are properly inflated to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation. “Winter tires and proper inflation should be considered driving essentials from December to April,� says Maidment. “Motorists should also practice defensive driving and keep their vehicles properly maintained and prepared for winter driving.� When buying winter tires, motorists should look for the mountain snowflake symbol on the sidewall. Tires with this symbol meet or exceed tire industry snow traction
requirements. Learn more by visiting www.rubberassociation.ca and click on winter driving.

A June survey of drivers in five communities (Vancouver, Abbotsford, Kelowna, Prince George and Saanich) found the lowest levels of drinking and driving ever recorded in a series of similar surveys dating back to 1995. Nearly 60 per cent fewer drivers who agreed to be tested for the survey were at or over the 0.08 criminal blood-alcohol level than in past years, and there was a 44 per cent drop in those who tested in the warn range above 0.05. Drivers aged 25 to 54 were most likely to say their behaviour has changed due to the new sanctions and those under 25 were most likely to say they never drink and

Fire chief to review proposal
Firehalls from A1
While it calls for as many as 40 more paid firefighters, it does not talk much about adding, or using the exiting, volunteer firefighters, according to Mayor Walter Gray. He expressed concern about the lack of attention paid to the possible role of volunteer firefighters in the city in the future. “I think it’s a missed opportunity,” said Gray. Following the council meeting, Gray said he was disappointed to see the proposed new plan “didn’t seem to have any focus on the potential or value of volunteer firefighters.” The department has a large contingent of volunteers and two of its five existing halls are manned by volunteers, said Carlisle. The plan also recommends assessing future fire service needs in the Black Mountain and Mission South Slopes areas. The proposed new North Glenmore hall would help the department better service the McKinley, Glenmore, UBCO, airport and north end of the city industrial area, according to the plan, and would cost $4
million to build. The KLO/Gordon hall would improve response coverage to the area around it, as well as in southeast Kelowna, the downtown core and the Mission. It would cost $3 million. Both new firehalls would also need to be staffed and equipped at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars each. But Blanleil, whose brother, Rene Blanleil, was Kelowna’s fire chief prior to Carlisle taking over the department, said he is concerned about the call for such large expenses when the local economy is still languishing, growth has not been as strong in the city has predicted when times were better and there is a need for other services throughout the city. Blanleil said he did not feel Kelowna is currently under-served when it comes to fire protection. Another former fire chief, Gerry Zimmermann, now a city councillor, said the issue of the growing number of calls for service downtown also needs to be looked at before a final decision is made on the plan. Carlisle took the council criticisms of the plan in stride, saying he will
go back and look at the issues raised. Carlisle said he feels the city is wellserved by his department and while the status quo will have to continue, the level of that status quo is high. “I recognize that there are a lot of financial pressures on council,” said the fire chief, adding the apparent rejection of the plan will not mean cutbacks to his department. But he said the city must be mindful of the rate of growth in future when it comes to fire fighting services. In the proposed plan it says both new firehalls would cost about $2 million per year each to staff. A fire engine for the North Glenmore hall would cost another $800,000 and a bush truck a further $135,000. That hall would cover an estimated 7,000 residents, as well as another 8,000 people at UBCO. The plan predicts about 1,600 calls to the hall for service each year. The KLO/Gordon station would cover an estimated 6,000 residents and respond to an anticipated 1,700 calls for service per year. as well as back up the existing Mission fire hall.

That command Tavares found to be a “loaded statement” in light of the officer’s earlier command to not move. Tavares said he was “not quick” as he got out of the vehicle. The officer told him to get on the ground and Tavares said he got on his knees before placing his hands on the ground. “What’s your next recollection?” asked Burrows. “Being placed in the back of a police car.” Earlier, the court heard from video journalist Kelly Hayes, who captured video of Tavares’ arrest. Hayes testified that as Tavares was about to put his hands on the pavement, Mantler “took some steps toward him and then he kicked him in the face.” Prior to the kick, Hayes testified that

he heard Mantler tell Tavares to “get on the ground…at least five times.” Hayes testified he couldn’t recall the content of Mantler’s commands to Tavares prior to him getting out of the truck. Under cross-examination, Hayes was also questioned about whether he saw Tavares raise or lower his hands at any point during the arrest. Looking at still frames from the video, Hayes said Tavares’ hands appear to come down a bit while in the truck, and appear to rise for a moment when he is in the process of dropping to all fours, just prior to the kick. Outside court, Tavares indicated he wasn’t confident that the truth would come out during the trial. “This is a dog and pony show,” he said. Mantler’s trial is expected to last two weeks. He is currently suspended without pay.

In the column by Dr. Markus Thiel in the Friday, Nov. 23 issue of the Capital News, an editing error changed the attribution to a factual reference in the column, which stated: “So, in essence, Dr. Bresee is saying that there are no studies to date that have effectively looked at the effectiveness of the flu vaccine from the ages of 2 to 17 and 65 or older. “In his published, peer-reviewed study he stated: ‘Every year, largescale campaigns in many developed countries are undertaken to vaccinate all people aged 65 years or older to prevent serious illness and mortality. With an estimated 90% of all seasonal influenza related mortality occurring in this group, and effective intervention is an important public health priority. However this is the age group for which we have the least data supporting the efficacy or effectiveness of influenza vaccines to reduce morbidity and mortality.’” The editing error in the first paragraph (So, in essence…) above inserted Dr. Bresse’s name for attribution when in fact it was a reference to a study co-authored by Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Centre for Infectious Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

Interior Health champions healthier community campaign
Imagine living in a community where you can walk or ride your bike safely, where the air is fresh and clean, and where healthy food and opportunities for physi-
cal activity are easily accessible and affordable for all. Through the Healthy Communities Initiative, Interior Health aims to make this vision a reality. Residents in the Inte-
rior are not as healthy as they could be. Over 80 per cent of us have at least one or more risk factors for chronic disease which include being a smoker, being physically inactive,
eating an unhealthy diet, or being overweight. Chronic diseases such as heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes are the largest cause of death in the region. “We all know that healthy eating, being physically active, and not smoking can make us healthier but these changes can often be difficult to
achieve on our own,” said Lex Baas, practice lead, with Interior Health’s promotion and prevention department . “When we live in a healthy community it is much easier for us to make healthy choices every day.” The Healthy Communities Initiative strives to improve the health of res-
idents through policy and environmental changes that help make the healthy choice the easy choice. By partnering with local governments, Interior Health will help identify community priorities and develop action plans to address areas such as protection from second hand smoke, access to healthy food, the availability of parks and
other green spaces, and opportunities for recreation. “Many local governments have already been doing great work to improve the health of citizens,” said Baas. “Our Healthy Communities Initiative…it will build upon it to ensure healthy living is top of mind when policy decisions are made.”

New mental illness research clinic is a first in Canada A teaching and research clinic for treating mental illness, focused on individual and family mental health and wellbeing, has opened at UBC Okanagan. The Interprofessional Clinic is a collaborative venture between the schools of social work and nursing in the Faculty of Health and Social Development, and the psychology department in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. The clinic will undertake an initial study into new treatments for nineto 14-year-olds who are currently on a program of prescribed anti-psychotic drugs. The study is being funded by a $50,000 gift from the RBC Foundation through UBCO’s start an evolution campaign. “Through the RBC Children’s Mental Health Project, we are committed to assisting organizations and programs that reduce stigma, provide early intervention and increase awareness about children’s mental health issues,” said Karen Borring-Olsen, regional vicepresident, RBC Royal Bank, Okanagan. “We are proud to support the Inter-professional Practice Clinic at UBC;

for de-escalating aggressive behaviour and working with physicians and families to determine if antipsychotic medications can be safely decreased.” The study will use a combination of strategies to provide individual case management, family support and family education as a service provided to the community. Researchers will offer patients intense, individual treatments in an effort to reduce use of anti-psychotic medications. The results are expected to help identify individ-
uals who are candidates for this type of treatment and factors that contribute to successful outcomes. “We will manage links to all of the components of community, school, physicians and family to help develop a coordinated effort that is not available through normal channels,” said Taylor.

The nursing focus will be on intervening with families experiencing difficulties managing chronic and life-limiting illnesses, says Carole Robinson, associate professor of nursing. “An important aspect of the interprofessional approach is that students from different disciplines in nursing, psychology and social work will have the opportunity to learn with, about and from each other,” said Robinson. “This addresses the current trend in health care of a team approach, which has been shown to more effectively address complex health and illness issues.” “The Interprofessional Clinic provides a setting for innovative research, where students earning their PhDs in psychology will assess and provide continuing consultation to patients and their families,” said Jan Cioe, head of UBC’s psychology department.

Respect road conditions
A
quick look outside will tell you we’re beginning to be engaged by the onslaught of winter. For here in the Okanagan, that so far has meant rain, lots of it, and a few precursors for the snow likely to come. And darkness. Late into the morning and earlier in the afternoon. It’s a dangerous time of year. For motorists, and especially for pedestrians. Statistics from ICBC show almost a third of pedestrian col-
lisions involving injuries or fatalities occur in November, December and January. A little common sense would go a long way to reducing those numbers. Like wearing bright clothing, ideally with a reflective strip or two, so motorists can distinguish you through the gloom. That would be ideal for the jaywalkers who routinely choose to ignore the intersections and run across Highway 33 or Harvey Avenue Motorists peering into the
darkness through rain-slicked windshields are already coping with a lot, faded and swamped lane markings, the glare from oncoming headlights; the last thing they’re ready for is a dark figure bolting from the shadows across their path. When walking along the shoulder, where there are no sidewalks, face oncoming traffic. That way motorists can at least see your face, and you will be able to see what’s coming. Drivers can also do their part
to improve safety during these dark, rainy months. Ensure your windshield wipers are doing their job. When driving in difficult conditions use the low beams, as the high beams will just reflect the rain or fog, actually making it harder to see. Check your tire tread. Worn tires will take longer to stop, and are more likely to hydroplane. Most importantly, slow down and drive according to the conditions.

The only incumbents—Robcouncil, a group made up of just three ert Hobson, Luke Stack and Andre returnees from the previous council. Blanleil—won re-election. And when Sure, Mayor Walter Gray has it comes to acting, it seems the five
rookies take their lead from them. So, after a year on the job, how is this “new” council doing? Given the close results in voting and the acrimonious tone of the election, chances are the answer will differ depending on who you ask. The current council came into power riding what appeared to be desire by many for change at city hall. For many voters unhappy with what they perceived as a council that talked more than it acted, the change was needed to kick-start a sputtering local economy. Aided by a privately funded push that targeted four incumbent councillors for defeat, the election, especially for mayor, took on a
nasty tone not seen here before. And, in the end, residents received a remade council. But in many ways it has yet to live up to the promise. In fairness, the first term for any council is a tough one. Like it or not, it rides on the coattails of its predecessor when it comes to completing projects. Most of the photo-ops celebrating the completion of work—or the groundbreaking of projects—are thanks to plans hatched and finalized by the previous council. Projects like the start of the Bernard Avenue revitalization, the completion of the new seniors’ centre, downtown development plans, an ex-
pansion of transit, road and bridge work and the addition of a new international arrival hall at the airport were all on the drawing board when the current council came to power one year ago. The big exception is the planned downtown Interior Health office tower project, along with its associated parkade. But you can’t fault a council for continuity—or give it the credit either. Showing up to smile for the camera at a ribbon-cutting is not the same as planning the project. The real test for the current council will be in a year’s time when the plans it is working on now start to materialize. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ MARIJUANA
Legalizing pot would help curb activities of criminal gangs To the editor: “That’s just the way life is.” That’s the message I get from recent letters in the Capital News written by Dave Lawrence and Tom Neave. They’re saying that things can’t change, so deal with it. Nothing like some constructive criticism, but when their writing provides no options, it’s downright destructive. Legalization and regulation of marijuana is not the panacea to cure the criminal gangs corroding society, but it would sure put a dent in their wallets. Also, refusing to make changes is to keep the power in the hands of the criminals. Mr. Lawrence then goes on by knocking the quality of pot doled out to the medical marijuana program. For quality, B.C. has a plethora of gifted growers
to pick from if the government can’t provide good green. A product’s quality will improve as competition increases; this is simple economics. Currently, this competition is non-existent, but once in place will be the determinant of price. As per availability, it already is available to teenagers (and younger) and can be obtained 24/7. Legalization won’t change this immediately, but it will provide at least a rudder to steer these unclaimed seas. Legalization will not cure the problem, but it will at least create a system where currently none exists. From there, we can work the bugs out. Smuggling will continue as it does with alcohol, cigarettes and imitation Gucci bags, but it will be a trickle compared to the current
torrent. As for Mr. Neave knocking “the great tax influx,” I’d rather have part of that $7 billion going towards taxes than all of it going to the underground economy. If drug enforcement insists on playing their games, at least use this new tax to fight it rather than dipping into our education and healthcare kitties. Besides, tax income is only part of the equation. An intelligent law would result in savings in areas like law enforcement and health care, and create extra income from textiles and biofuels. Neave claims that the Union of B.C Municipalities is taking a step back by trying to legalize pot; so moving forward must equate to harsher laws. Yeah, I’m sure that will help. As for his naive list
of other possible legalizations (child porn/slavery?), he provides the argument to how regulation can work for us—it already limits those illicit acts, although, I can’t say that slavery and rape are currently within our rights as Canadians. For the record, smoking is not the only way to ingest marijuana. It can be baked into goods or distilled into oil as well. In essence, legalization will create a new market and can change the economy for the better. If laws restrict the availability of nicotine and alcohol, it can do the same for pot. Creating a market will set its own quality demands and competition for affordability. Darrin Fiddler, Kelowna
▼ SOUTH SLOPES
Embattled regional director applauded To the editor: The Regional District of the Central Okanagan has passed the “Official Community Plan” for the South Slopes in spite of our objections in its draft form. For those of us who participated in the consultation process, this is very disappointing, to put it mildly. Some Kelowna residents think of the South Slopes as a good place to have a bush party or to
dump their yard waste or other garbage. We call it home and are in support of limited development, including the Kelowna Mountain ski hill. I have attended every meeting to voice our concerns to the RDCO board, only to be treated with contempt an ridicule by some of the board members. Certainly, none of us want a ‘wild west’ scenario, but we are not getting
representation from the RDCO board. They have designated our property zoning as RU-1 (Agricultural) to prevent us from doing almost anything with our land. This zoning designation does not fit with property that consists mostly of rocks, steep slopes, burned stumps and dead trees left by the Okanagan Mountain Park Fire in 2003. A referendum on in-
corporation is a huge step but the RDCO has shut us out of the decision making process that affects our daily lives and that of our children. On behalf of the South Slopes property owners, regional director Patty Hanson has our full support. Steve Gray, South Slopes Property Owners Group
Too many cars on the road causing pollution To the editor: This past Sept. 27 was the 50th anniversary of Rachel Carson’s groundbreaking work “Silent Spring.” This book caused a revolution in public opinion and eventually was a major factor in the founding of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970. With those efforts in mind, I want to talk about our elephant in the living room—the one letting off a lot of gas in the form of carbon monoxide in our living room of Kelowna and area. I love animals and I love people, and the time is here to take a good look
at the smog no one is talking about. If you sit at any beach in Kelowna, facing west, it’s very unclear—literally. Even two or three years ago, you could see Peachland or at least the nearest part of Westbank, but now you can’t even see Naramata clearly. It’s all in a haze, a smoggy haze that is light brown up higher in the edges of the valley. That haze is not from forest fires. This is pollution. Why is it here? We’ve gone ahead and four-laned every road possible and six-laned others. The traffic is a constant stream, never ending.
This theory of streamlining looks lovely in the city planners’ relief maps but there was one factor not mentioned—if you build it they will come. If we left some of the roads as they were, we would have saved some money. But growth is always welcomed in good old Kelowna, even if it’s not always positive and sustainable. I don’t have the answer and it’s not emission control. The number of vehicles on the road is to blame. Just stop “improving” roads please because until electric cars take over we are going to be in a fog.
Dog poop isn’t welcome in school yards To the editor: I have been hearing the wails and gnashing of teeth of the expansion of dog parks, and now there are owners who want to bring them on school property. I coach sports teams, and have had “first hand” experience picking up dog waste on playing fields before the kids practice. There are many dog owners who are responsible, who pick up after their pets. But there also seems to be just as many who will look the other way— either inadvertently or directly—while their favourite pet defecates. I’ve even seen people pick up after their dogs, and leave the purple bags, brought along specifically for this, by the roadside, purportedly to pick them up later. Some of theses have been sitting for weeks along the side of the road. It’s only poor judgement that allows very large dogs, sometimes two, to live in small units with no room to run free in the neighbourhood. There are parks for dogs to run free. All you need do is take a walk through them, and see how well responsible pet owners keep their “designated area” clean. Make sure you wear your boots. Chuck Liebrock, Kelowna

OC faculty takes global stand on issue of educating girls Two teenagers a world apart, but with one objective in mind, have inspired the Okanagan College Faculty Association to support international efforts to educate girls. At its November meeting, members of the OCFA condemned the recent Taliban shooting of 15-year-old student Malala Yousafzai for being a vocal proponent of education for girls in Pakistan. The OCFA also voted to donate $1,000 to the Little Women for Little Women in Afghanistan—a non-profit society launched by 15-year-old Alaina Podmorow from Kelowna to help educate girls in Afghanistan as a way to peace. “We’re putting our money where our hearts are,” said OC history professor Howard Hisdal, who made both resolutions. “These girls are shining examples of leadership. They are showing vision and courage, and to a certain extent they are accomplishing what some of our Western governments haven’t managed to do so well.” Hisdal, who also serves in the Canadian military as a reservist, said some of his friends in the Forces have been to Afghanistan and believe change rests with
the future of women there. “One of my female military colleagues said the women continue to be kept in ignorance,” he said. “The best chance for long-term success in these campaigns is the education of women.” English professor Norah Bowman-Broz, who sits on the OCFA council as the Status of Women representative, said supporting the Little Women non-profit organization is a particularly relevant and contemporary donation. “Broadly speaking, we want to eliminate gender inequities around the world, and in Canada as well,” she said. “It’s also important to us that Little Women is a secular charity. This is about valuing education for everyone.” OCFA president Sharon Josephson said contributing to Little Women underlines the faculty’s commitment to the principles of education, human rights and democracy—especially for those who are less advantaged, regardless of where they live. “This is something we can be proud of,” Hisdal added. The Okanagan College Faculty Association represents approximately 275 faculty members at the college.

Conference taps into ingenuity I had my faith in a resurgence of the entrepreneurial spirit renewed in a very huge fashion at the inaugural Okanagan Entrepreneurship Conference held in Kelowna last week. On Nov. 22 and 23 at the Ramada Hotel and Conference Centre, after six months of organization, the conference became a reality, designed to bring together a variety of people in some way aligned with the entrepreneurial spirit to encourage new thinking, new ideas and prompt advancement in innovation and creativity throughout our regional landscape. We commenced the two-day event with an evening networking reception on Nov.22, with wine and appies provided so registrants and guests could meet, mingle and experience the 15 exhibit displays set up. As well, the keynote address was given by Miles Laing, a partner with Mackay Chartered Accountants. I was overwhelmed by the warmth and congenial presence everyone seemed to exhibit sprinkled with a willingness to share of themselves to others.
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young The following morning at 8:45 a.m., the schedule of conference speakers for the day began with a presentation by Barry Lapointe, president of Kelowna Flightcraft. Lapointe talked about the joy and wonderment of his Canadian aviation through his own entrepreneurial story, one that still had us shaking our heads in disbelief by the end of the day. Folks, the Kelowna Flightcraft story today— 1,000 employees over a 43-year aviation entrepreneurial highway and no sign of slowing down the jet engines. Among other conference highlights, local lawyer Tony Edwards, who specializes in intellectual property law, gave the audience a powerful high speed presentation with wonderful anecdotes that kept all of us aghast that he could do so with no apparent notes in sight. Jennifer Molgat, pres-
ident of The View Winery, left us with the message, that permeated loudly repeatedly as well from the speakers: “If you choose to explore the entrepreneurial world, prepare yourself effectively and then just do it.” Renee Wasylyk, president of Troika Land Development, an awarded entrepreneurial creator from an entrepreneurial family, dazzled us with her directness and imagery of her traveled road to excellence. From Jason Neale, formerly of Accelerate Okanagan and Vericorder, to our bankers from Scotiabank, RoyNatFinancial, BDC Okanagan and the Okanagan Angel Investment Network, to the Doak Shirreff law firm with Valeo Health Clinic, conference participants were offered professional insights into the various speakers’ own personal business journeys. We were kept intently riveted to our seats, running swiftly to the display room between breaks in the program and a need for a coffee refill along the way. Based on the response from this inaugural conference, the 2013 event will be even bigger come
next November. At the end of the day, the conference helped remind ourselves that successful entrepreneurship depend on the ability of all of us to innovate, to create new knowledge and new technologies and to process and apply these innovations into new Okanagan entrepreneurial ventures that will stimulate our economy, create new jobs and change our world forever. Thank you to the Okanagan for believing in our dream of stimulating the entrepreneurial spirit among us, to our conference organizing team; to Rae Stonehouse, our entrepreneur society chair who cracked the whip when needed to move everything; our speakers, displayers and sponsors, who made it happen for all of us. Stay tuned Okanagan, entrepreneurship is alive and well in our valley, with more to come very soon. Stay tuned.

Responding to mentorship challenge The Women’s Enterprise Centre has won Startup Canada’s Canadian Mentorship Challenge. The challenge was a national initiative to mentor 10,000 Canadian entrepreneurs during Global Entrepreneurship Week, Nov.12 to 18. Laurel Douglas, chief executive officer of the Women’s Enterprise Centre based out of Kelowna, said she was thrilled when she heard the results. “When we first heard about this contest, we wanted to profile and acknowledge our dedicated volunteer mentors who are really invested in helping less experienced business owners,” she said. “Now that we’ve won, we are honoured and extend a huge thank you to our mentors who give back to the business community.” The Women’s Enterprise Centre hosts a network of more than 150 mentors across the province and provides skills development, business loans and other resource services to more than 137,000 women business owners in B.C. “Mentoring is a really important aspect of succeeding in business,” added Douglas. “It helps women increase their confidence, get over the feeling of isolation, helps makes sure women aren’t re-inventing the wheel and that they are getting input on their issues from someone who has already ‘been there, done that’.” Victoria Lennox, chief executive officer and co-founder of Start-up Canada said, “For the whole Canadian mentorship challenge, we didn’t know what
we were going to get. We were absolutely blown away by Women’s Enterprise Centre’s activities. We also really appreciated the way Women’s Enterprise Centre brought all their events together in one presentation to show us the impact those events had on their communities.” Douglas credit the Women’s Enterprise Centre’s amazing team that reached women business owners all over B.C. through in-person events in Kelowna, Vancouver and Victoria, plus a phone-in session with mentors from Prince George and Vancouver; two Twitter Chats; a Facebook Ask the Expert event; and one-to-one mentoring. “Our multimedia and online activities coupled with newspaper articles a television news broadcast and YouTube viewers engaged a total of 4,557 people in 20 communities,” she said. The timing of the Canadian Mentorship Challenge comes as the Women’s Enterprise Centre is waiting on news of its provincial funding for this coming year. “As a non-profit organization we look forward to hearing that our provincial funding request has been approved,” Douglas said. “Our mentoring program is so well-established and so strong. We’ve been told by people that when they are approved to enter our mentoring program, they tell us it’s like winning the lottery—that’s how much they value our program.”

What to consider in hiring a bookkeeper
T
he Canada Revenue Agency publishes a pamphlet called Keeping Records-RC4409 that provides a detailed definition of the records you need to keep and why you need to keep them. To start with, keeping records is a legal requirement. You may want to keep records because you may save on taxes if your records are organized. You will need to keep records in case of an audit of GST/HST, payroll or taxes. You may want to keep records to keep yourself informed of the financial position of your business. You will need to keep records if you expect to obtain any sort of bank or creditor financing. You will need to keep records to identify your sources of income to determine if those sources are non-business or non-taxable. Many business owners hire a bookkeeper or record keeper to keep records for them. The fall seems to be the time when business owners begin to look for a bookkeeper to help them get ready for their year end.
The bookkeeper will be responsible for recording transactions that in summary, will indicate the health Gabriele of your small Banka business and the amount of tax that you may or may not have to pay will depend on your bottom line net income. However, you as the business owner still have the responsibility of making decisions for your business. You can’t blindly run a business, without periodically reviewing the paperwork. You need to stay informed so that you can work in partnership with the professionals that you hire. So how do you find a bookkeeper who would be qualified and capable? An excellent indicator is to ask your friends and relatives who have small businesses and find out who they use and if this person would be able to take on another client. Another source would be to ask your accountant if they can recommend someone. Most accounting firms have several bookkeepers that they work with and sometimes take on the bookkeeping in-house.
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Finally, you can advertise for a bookkeeper. Regardless of the source, you need to interview the bookkeeper to determine if they would be a good fit for you, if they are qualified to do the job. Determine if they have any experience keeping the books for your particular kind of business. If they do, then that means there is less training and educating that you need to do to teach the bookkeeper about your industry. You would want to make sure that the software program is set up correctly, so you would want them to understand the basic differences between the basic business structures and about the benefits/pitfalls of the different software programs in use. If you have any sales on account or purchase on credit, you would want them to know what a control account is and what a subledger is. If you are inventorying product, you would want them to know the difference between margin and markup and periodic and perpetual inventory systems. If you have employees, they would need to be able to prepare the paycheques and remittances. They would need to know which benefits are taxable and
which are not. They would be required to balance your bank account on a monthly basis so they should know how to reconcile a bank account and any other sort of account required by the business. Finally, are they certified? Do they belong to any professional bookkeeping association? Are their rates and payment terms reasonable? During the interview you would have gotten a sense of their communication skills. If, at the end of the interview you have not totally understood what you have been told, then I would conclude that the bookkeeper would not be a good fit for you. You would also need to determine if your data would be safe by inquiring about back up procedures of the computer data and also what would happen if the bookkeeper suddenly became ill or had a fatality. Remember, ultimately you are responsible for the actions of your business, so you don’t want anything to bite you in the backside just in case you are audited by the CRA.

Confidence in your financial future
M
ost people spend more time planning their two-week vacation each year than planning their retirement to last many decades. Confidence in your financial future means taking steps to plan for your decades in retirement. You want to feel confident about your financial security now and in your future. Spending some time on your own plan will define options for your future, with the end result being peace of mind. Planning is a big part of a successful retirement strategy. Your plan should include a snapshot of where you are now and where you want to be. Your today snapshot should include clearly defined summary of your assets and liabilities. Make a list of all your income and expenses now. Look into the crystal ball and do a summary of your own families

projected income and ex- L penses in retirement. c If you are the sole per- a son responsible for your own financial future or if you are part of a couple, the summary should be based on household income. Will you spend the same in retirement or will you spend more money or less money in your retirement years when employment no longer fills 35 to 40 hours per week? Most people in retirement spend less money because they no longer have the expenses associated with working; no more commuting costs, no contributions to your RRSP, pension or union dues. You may decide to downsize your home or move to a smaller community to save money. Other retirees may have the same or higher expenses in retirement. There is now more time and energy to spend money. Work takes up a lot of our time and retirement means more available hours to fill. Taking holidays or enjoying expensive hobbies means having the dollars in retirement to pay for these leisure activities. Plan what you want to do in your 60s, you may work less hours than in your 50s and work part time. If you think you will enjoy travel more in your 60s than in your 70s, make it part of your future retirement plan. As we age, our willingness to travel and take on additional adventure can diminish. As we get older, our priorities may change. We may work reduced hours or job share. You may be able to choose to not work at 100 per cent capacity up until age 65. Think about options for your personal review. Some people wait until retirement to pursue their dreams. Unfortunately due to illness or death soon after retirement, their dreams never become a reality.

Printed books still in demand richard rolke
LCONTRIBUTOR S
Traditional books aren’t being replaced by new technology. Circulation of print materials is down three per cent within Okanagan Regional Library, while the ndownload of audiobooks has almost hdoubled. However, executive director Lesley Dieno says the agency still circulates three million print items a year. “Lots of people, and especially
teens, want print,” she said. “They (teens) read computers and phones all day long and when they are ready for pleasure, they want print.” There is also a growing demand within print materials for books with large type and languages other than English. But many ORL patrons are embracing the latest in technology. “So far this year, 83,000 ebooks have been downloaded,” said Dieno. Other services are also proving
popular. The number of downloads of music from the Freegal database is up 80 per cent and the collection of magazines from Zinio is being used at a high rate. “But we are still circulating CDs. That hasn’t declined,” said Dieno. With increasing demands for reading material and music in various forms, financial pressures are being placed on ORL. “We’re just adding things on, we’re not getting rid of anything,” said Dieno.“Libraries have to provide something of everything.”
Armstrong company prepared to deal with cooking oil and grease for recycling Do you deep fry your turkey, or have kitchen leftover grease drippings you don’t know what to do with? Don’t pour them down the drain, as now you can recycle them. The Regional Waste Reduction office, in partnership with McLeod’s Byproducts of Armstrong, has set up a program for residents to be able to dispose of their leftover household cooking oils and congealed grease at either the Westside Residential Disposal and Recycling Center in West Kelowna, or at the Glenmore Landfill in Kelowna. Waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart says cooking oils and grease from roasting, frying and
baking turkeys, chickens and other meats can collect in and clog your drains-and harm the environment in the process. “You don’t want to pour this stuff down your drain, it can congeal, block your pipes, and create a real mess,” Stewart said. “Dumping it in your yard isn’t a good option either, it’s harmful to the environment—when it rains the oily residue runs off into the storm drain, eventually reaching our waterways without treatment. If you have large volumes of cooking oil, you can pour it into the receptacles provided at the Westside Recycling Center or Glenmore Landfill. If you have congealed
grease, it’s recommended you put it in a metal can or container and drop the whole metal container into the recycling receptacle provided. As a reminder, Stewart says don’t place anything other than cooking oil and kitchen grease into the recycling containers provided—i.e. no petroleum oil such as motor oil, food items, plastic containers, or garbage. Brian Scott, plant manager with McLeod’s Byproducts, says your repurposed kitchen leftovers will end up as a food source all over again. “Once the cooking oils and grease are collected, we mechanically remove the solids and moisture, heat the oils at a very high temperature, then
stabilize them with an antioxidant,” Scott said. “We then sell the finished product to feed mills where they formulate it into various feeds for chicken, turkey and hogs. If you must toss your kitchen oils and grease, here are a few simple tips to follow: • Make sure to put them in a heat resistant container with a sealable lid, then throw in trash • Or mix with unscented kitty litter, sawdust or sand to solidify the oil first and then dispose • Or store the oil for later use, oil can be kept for up to six months and reused, first strain then store in the freezer.

Plan now to ‘smell the flowers’ later in life Smith from A15 A couple may plan for years to take a special holiday or trip together and then due to ill health or death, one of the couple is not able to travel or has passed away. The remaining person is now left without a travel partner or companion. During our working years take time to spend with family and friends. The future is unknown. We want to ensure we are in the present and take the time now to “smell the flowers” and enjoy our life today. Review your options, make sound decisions, form a logical plan of your own and be prepared to make minor adjustments along the way. Many retirees spend less money in retirement than they planned for, while others still buy lottery tickets in hope of liv-
ing a lifestyle of the rich and famous. Opportunity and planning means being in con-

Neural Prolotherapy: A new approach to treating chronic pain

hat is Neural Prolotherapy? Neural Prolotherapy (NPT) is a very effective treatment for most injuries and chronic joint, tendon, ligament and muscle pain. The treatment in-
volves a series of injections with a dextrose or mannitol solution (sugar molecules), immediately under the skin with a very fine needle, targeting the source of the pain and offers a success rate of greater than 80 per cent

Emily Pratt and two year follow up studies have shown success rates between 80 to 100 per cent and the treatment is also less invasive than Classical Prolotherapy. How does it work? Because Neural Prolotherapy does not target tendons, ligaments or joints the question had to be asked what causes the sometimes dramatic decline in pain levels after even a one treatment. A working hypothesis was developed that dextrose and mannitol solutions assist in the repair of connective tissue in the nerve trunks under the skin in a similar way as repairing connective tissue in ligaments and tendons with Classical Prolotherapy. These nerves are known to be responsible for painful conditions generally identified as ‘neuralgias’ or ‘peripheral neuropathic pain’ It is also known that this ‘neurogenic inflammation’ differs from con-

ventional inflammation in that it does not respond to anti-inflammatories or cortisone injections. This is one of the reasons why these commonly used drugs are proving to be ineffective in many painful conditions in addition to a growing awareness that their use is not without serious side effects. It is clear from clinical observations on more than 3,000 patients and large case series that neural Prolotherapy effectively reverses ‘neurogenic inflammation’ and resolves neuralgia pain. Treatment typically involves a four to eight sessions of micro-injections just under the skin with a very small needle. Additional treatment sessions are sometimes needed if a patient has prior surgeries, moderate to severe whiplash injuries with widespread pain, and/or significant underlying medical illnesses (diabetes, autoimmune disorder or history of cancer). Treatments are completed within 10 to 20 minutes. At most the patient may have some brief tenderness at the injection site or a small bruise. Physical activity is not restricted post-injection, with most patients returning to their usual workouts the same day or next day.

awareness of a safer community for our children. The Tree of Hope at Landmark Centre has been an inspiration and a bright symbol of hope to the community for the last 15 years. Over 120-feet tall, the Tree of Hope has about 25,000 bulbs, meant to serve as a visible reminder to local residents that Christmas is a time of generosity, compassion and to bring joy to friends and family. This year, Crime Stoppers would like to reach
their goal of raising $1 for each of the 25,000 bulbs on the Tree of Hope. Make sure to keep an eye out for the cheerful elves who will be rewarding every $5 donation made that evening with a “Light The Night” holiday keepsake. Light up the Night Against Crime will be a family night with hot chocolate, festivities, a Christmas choir, and a holiday greeting by local dignitaries. The torch lit walk will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Snow sports festival coming to Crystal Mt. The Special Olympics BC organization announced last week the inaugural SOBC Snow Sports Festival will be staged at Crystal Mountain in March 2013. The new competitive event will bring together Special Olympics athletes from B.C. and Alberta on March 2 and 3 to race in alpine skiing events at Crystal Mountain Resort and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing events at Telemark Nordic Club. The SOBC Snow Sports Festival is expected to draw roughly 145 SOBC athletes from all over the province and more than 100 Special Olympics Alberta athletes and coaches. The event will involve races in the three snow sports as well as educational opportunities for athletes and coaches. The SOBC sport cycle operates on a four-year rotation involving regional qualifiers and provincial, national, and world games. Currently, 13 SOBC athletes are training to take part in the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games in the Republic of Korea. “After training week in and week out, the athletes need and deserve this opportunity to compete and network with other athletes and coaches,” said Cari Henri, SOBC manager, sport. About 50 to 60 volunteers will be needed to help stage the event. Contact Cari Henri to find out how you can get involved at1-888-854-2276 or e-mail chenri@specialolympics.bc.ca.

Each and every day in B.C., family doctors provide not only primary medical care, but also a substantial portion of secondary and tertiary care in many communities. They work from their offices as well as hospitals, their patients’ homes, nursing homes, and other community facilities. Public surveys repeatedly show that Canadians hold family doctors in high regard. That regard is well deserved; in addition to patient care, family doctors are involved in teaching students and residents in our 17 Canadian medical schools, and in conducting research that is a valuable contribution to the practice of family medicine. That’s why last week was Family Doctor Week in Canada. Family Doctor Week acknowledges the outstanding contributions physicians make to their patients’ lives, and their dedication to delivering high-quality health care, day in and day out. In B.C., we’ve worked hard to ensure there are enough family physicians to meet growing popula-
MLA’S REPORT
Steve Thomson tion and demand. Between 2001-02 and 2010-11, the number of physicians billing in B.C. increased from 8,234 to 10,121—or 23 per cent. In the same period of time, the population grew by 11.2 per cent. We’ve managed to accomplish this through a mix of training and attracting new doctors. For example, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, between 2006 and 2010, British Columbia has had the highest in-migration of physicians in the country, with over 320 physicians moving here from other provinces. We are the only province to consistently attract physicians. We’ve also doubled the number of first year undergraduate spaces for medical students, from 128 in 2003-04 to 256 in 2011-12. The opening of the Southern Medical Program will add a further 32 spaces for a total of 288 graduating medical students each year by 201415. A fourth medical program located in the Interior began in September 2011; medical students arrived on campus at UBC Okanagan in January 2012. Much attention is given to emergency health care services and providers—and rightly so. But it’s important to remember those on the front lines, who provide day-to-day care and advice. Steve Thomson is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Mission.

KSS pursues double volleyball gold Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Tony and Mike Sodaro have a lot of good memories to share from the volleyball court over the past couple of decades. For the Kelowna siblings, nothing would rival coaching their respective teams to a B.C. gold medal in the same season. The Kelowna Owls girls’ team, coached by Tony, will attempt to defend its provincial AAAA title this week at Riverside Secondary in Coquitlam. Mike’s KSS boys squad will serve as host for the B.C. AAA boys championship beginning Wednesday morning in Kelowna. Each Owls squad heads in as the No. 2 seed with the pair of Sodaros hoping to taste victory. “We’re just smil-
ing and high-fiving each other,” said Tony Sodaro. “We’re both No. 2 and we both feel like we have the best chances of our lives to win another championship. I think it’s destiny to bring both of these teams to the gold. “I know I would give anything to see Mike win a gold. His team deserves one. And I know he wants the exact same thing for me. So it’s pretty cool.” The Owls girls head to provincials on a roll, having lost just one match in the last six weeks. KSS has beaten every ranked team it has faced this season, including No. 1 South Delta, No. 3 Heritage Woods and No. 4 Earl Marriot. “Of our eight returnees, not many were starters so it took us a while to get going this year,” said Tony. “But now we’re playing a brand of volley-
ball that’s separating us from the rest of the province. I think were’ going to show we’re the clear No. 1 team and back-toback gold medal performances are starting too become more of a reality in our eyes and everyone else’s.” The Owls boast plenty of depth and are led by the likes of captain Cayte Wilson, Megan Peleshytyk, Erin Konrad and Katie Valgardson. Even with a gold medal from 2011 in their possession, Wilson says there’s plenty of motivation for KSS to make it two in a row. “It was such a great feeling to win the first time, so to be able to feel that again would be such an experience for all the girls,” said Wilson, the team’s setter. “What’s most important to me is that we play well and have
fun, and you can’t ask for much more. If we win gold, then that’s the cherry on top.” For Mike Sodaro’s team, the 2012 season has been a similar story in that KSS boys have been improving as the season has progressed. The Owls played their best volleyball of the season over the last three weeks with tournament wins at George Elliot and the Okanagan Valley finals. Led by seniors Ty Campbell, Brendan Bourcier and Tyler Pomielartz, Sodaro is excited to see his team vie for a provincial title after years of work and preparation. “I’ve been coaching most of these guys since Grade 8, so it’s been a long haul,” said Mike Sodaro, who coached at KLO. “I wanted to see this through and see what they can do. It’s great that

they’re in the position they’re in now to take a run at provincials.” Sodaro would like to put an end to a lengthy drought for senior AAA
boys teams in the city, as Kelowna high school last won a championship in the early 1950s. The KSS boys will compete in the power

Major Midget League action from Sunday. The Rockets snapped the Giants’ 17-game unbeaten streak in the win, earning its first victory since 2006 at the Burnaby Winter Club. Josh Blanchard had three goals and two assists to pace an offensive explosion against the league’s top-rated defence. Heading into the weekend the Giants were giving up less than two goals per game. The Rockets struck for
more goals on Sunday than the Giants had given up in their last five games combined. Also scoring for the Rockets on Sunday were Justin Marreck with a pair, Brendan Wagner, and Brett Mennear. The win came after a tie on Saturday as Okanagan took three of four points from the Giants by improving to 12-2-4 on the season. The Rockets out shot the Giants 43-25 on Sunday and 74-46 over the two games. “We had a game plan set for the weekend and I’m proud of the way our guys executed it this weekend,” said Rockets head coach James Ec-
cles. “This isn’t an easy place to win. To come in here and get three points is a good stepping stone for our group.” Brenden Mills made 22 saves for his sixth win of the year on Sunday. The Rockets remain two points behind the Cariboo Cougars for second place and now find themselves just four points behind the Giants who fell to 15-1-2 on the year. The Rockets will return home to face the 4-12-2 Fraser Valley Thunderbirds at the Capital News Centre next weekend. Games are Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at 10 a.m.
Rockets play team game Rockets from A24 generate offence. Everyone is a part of it and that’s why our team game is so strong right now.” The Rockets are back home for a pair of games this week to close out the month of November. During its recent stretch of solid play, Kelowna has been dominant on home ice, coming out of the gate strong and running teams out of its building. Huska said it comes down to the leadership on the team and players being ready to go at the drop of the puck. “A lot of that has to do with Colton Sissons as our captain and our older guys in the dressing room,” said Huska. “This year we have started very well and we have been putting teams on their heels. The older guys are making sure everyone is ready to go and excited to come out strong.” Kelowna plays TriCity on Wednesday and will be looking for revenge. The Americans handed the Rockets the
club’s only losses in its past 10 games when TriCity beat Kelowna twice in Washington, behind the strength of netmidner Eric Comrie, who faced over 40 shots in both games and was named first star in the wins. “We have to do a good
job on getting the puck to the net and being hungry for second opportunities,” said Huska. Kelowna will host Moose Jaw on Friday before playing in Seattle on Saturday. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

to repeat as provincial champions but we know that Immaculata and Mt. Sentinel both have strong teams as well,” said Smith. As for Immaculata, the Mustangs have finished in the top three in every tournament they’ve competed in this season and spent some time ranked at No. 1. The Mustangs lost KCS in the valley final in three very close sets. Immaculata will be led into battle by Siobhan Fitpatrick, the MVP at the B.C. Catholics and a perennial all-star, and Erin Jacobs an all-star at both
Catholics and valleys. If the Mustangs play up to their capabilities, coach Brian Drosodovech believes a gold medal is well within their reach. “If we play like we have in practice the only thing that can stop us is ourselves,” Drosdoech said. “We have all the skills to come up big and hopefully improve on the past two years of third-place finishes.” Pool play, featuring 16 teams, begins on Thursday in South Slocan, with the gold medal final game going on Saturday at 7 p.m.
KNIGHTS BOYS NO. 1
With every player returning from last year’s bronze medal-winning team, experience should weigh heavily in Kelowna Christian’s favour this week at the B.C. high school boys A volleyball championship in Kelowna. The No. 1 ranked Knights, who won two invitational tournaments and valleys this season, are led by co-captains Connor Loewen (6-foot5) and Ryan Lintell (6foot-4) who were both first team all-stars last year. Ben Van Dyk, Drew Shulz, Keelan Laugh-
ren are power hitters who should be a factor. “Josh Klassen, Bryce Csolle and Josiah Siemens add a lot of experience to this well-rounded team,” said Knights coach Dave Bingham. “This team lost the semifinal by two pionts last year, and hopes to make it into the gold medal match this time around.” The Knights are in a power pool with Credo, Sparqwood and Bulkely Valley with play beginning Wednesday. The A boys final will go Saturday, 4 p.m. at KSS.

Warriors results After securing a point on the road on Friday in Coquitlam, the West Kelowna Warriors appeared poised to follow that up with a solid home ice effort on Saturday in the back half of the team’s home-and-home series with Coquitlam. But after opening the Saturday night game with a solid shift at home, the Warriors fell into penalty trouble, taking five of the game’s first six penalties and falling behind 3-0 in the first period, eventually succumbing 4-2 to Coquitlam to drop both games of the weekend set. “In Coquitlam, we lost in double-overtime but you’re on the road and you’ll take that point,” said Warrirors head coach Rylan Ferster. “It was unfortunate on Saturday. I don’t know what happened. We had a good first shift but then you get five out of the first six penalties and we never got an
opportunity to get rolling. We have to find a way to respond and have a push back but it was tough.” The Warriors played both games without injured veterans Max French (week-to-week) and Brett Mckinnon (day-to-day) while starting goalie Tyler Briggs returned from injury on Saturday to face 51 Coquitlam shots. The losses dropped the Warriors to 10-7-16 in the BCHL Interior, where the standings show just five points separating second place Merritt and sixth place Trail with the Warriors sitting in third place. West Kelowna will now play its next three games against Vernon, starting this weekend as the teams will meet at Royal LePage Place on Friday and in Vernon on See Warriors A27

The UBC Okanagan men were close on both nights but came up empty in pair of Canada West home games. On Friday, Ilarion Bonhomme scored 28 points to lead the Brandon Bobcats to a 64-58 win over the Heat. “The guys worked really hard tonight,” said Heat head coach Pete Guarasci. “They [the Bobcats] hit some big threes in the final quarter which separated them and gave them a win.” Third-year guard, Anwar Faza had 13 points and six rebounds for the host Heat, while backcourt mate, freshman Mitch Goodwin added another 13 points and three steals. On Saturday, an emphatic slam dunk by Azi Fahandeg-Sadi at 5:36 in the fourth quarter sparked the Heat offense, but it was not enough as the visiting Regina Cougars defeated UBCO 74-68.

commented Heat Coach Heather Semeniuk. “We need to work on keeping a consistent game.” The Heat led by as many as 24 going into the fourth, but sloppy play allowed Brandon to win the fourth quarter, out-scoring the Heat 22-10 in the final 10 minutes. On Saturday, the Heat came back with another solid effort before dropping a 76-64 contest to the No.3-ranked Regina Cougars. Thanks in large part to the hot shooting of Krystal Schouten, UBCO hung tough with the Cougars for 20 minutes as the game was tied 36-36 at the half. But the Cougars rang up a 22-9 third quarter to put the Heat away. Schouten finished the night with 20 points, while Emily Kanester had her first double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Despite the loss, the Heat’s head coach was pleased with the effort. “I’m just pleased with the effort and heart we showed,” said Heather Semeniuk following the game. “We’ve always enjoyed good challenges.” The Heat (3-5) will be on the road to close out their 2012 schedule against Manitoba and the

In a game that couldn’t have been any different than Saturday’s fiveset battle royale, the No. 3 ranked University of Alberta Pandas ousted the No. 10 UBC Okanagan Heat in a straightsets victory on Sunday to take the weekend series at the Saville Community Sports Centre. For the second straight match freshman outside hitter Megan Festival, in her home province, was a focal point of the UBC Okanagan attack. She led the Heat offence with nine kills while fellow rookie Emily Oxland served up 15 assists. Festival was tops for the Heat with 28 attacks versus the Pandas, Alex Basso only took 10 swings in the three set loss. A difference of 29 attacks for the captain, in comparison to Saturday’s marathon where Basso attacked 39 times to lead the team—Festival was second in attacks with 30 in the Saturday matchup.

The Heat struggled on Sunday, committing eight attack errors and two on the serve, including a serve into the net to end the first set 25-13. The middle set didn’t go much better for the visitors, only getting a half-dozen kills for the second-straight set. The Pandas utilized a series of runs to put away the Heat. The third set also consisted of notable point runs, unfortunately for UBC Okanagan the Pandas went from 4-4 to 16-4 after a 13 point run, which essentially minimized the effectiveness of the Heat’s late 6-1 run. With the run UBC Okanagan could only reduce the large deficit to six points, 22-16, but the Pandas lead proved to be too much, winning the set 25-17 to complete the sweep. The 6-4 Heat head home to host the Trinity Western Spartans with another Saturday and Sunday weekend, while the 8-2 Pandas will remain at home in their final weekend of conference play in 2012, hosting the Mount Royal Cougars

PARENTING
Secrets of successful parenting So much of the information out there about how to be a better parent focuses on techniques for modifying your child’s behavior. But it is missing the mark. Research has shown that the one thing a person can do to be a better parent is to focus on developing him or herself. This is where a person has to start in order to be a nurturing, attuned mother or father. When it comes to parenting, there are many reasons for us to look inward and understand ourselves as people if our goal is to become a better parent. Our children often reawaken painful feelings that we long ago blocked from our awareness. The
innocence, liveliness, and spontaneity of a child can stir up the hurts in our own childhoods and threaten to reactivate them. Our avoidance of these old feelings can cause us to pull away from relating closely with our children. At times when there is an emotional connection, we may be uncomfortable and even feel anger or resentment toward our child. If we stay defended against the feelings that are being stirred up in us, we will be cut off from our children and misattuned to what they are feeling and experiencing. Instead of continuing to defend ourselves against feelings we sup-
pressed in childhood, we can face them and make sense of any traumas that have been unresolved. Once we understand what happened in our own childhoods, we can be more effective parents and develop more secure attachments with our children. In Parenting from the Inside Out, Dan Siegel states, “The integration of our own self-knowledge facilitates our being open to the process of becoming emotionally connected with our children. Coherent self-knowledge and interpersonal joining go hand in hand.” We project our critical feelings about ourselves on to our children.

The ambivalent attitudes we have toward our children are simply a reflection of the ambivalent attitudes we have toward ourselves. All people are divided in the sense that they have feelings of warm self-regard as well as feelings of self-hatred and self-depreciation. Therefore, it is not surprising that parents would extend these same contradictory attitudes toward their offspring. Parents’ attitudes toward their children are a by-product of their fundamental conflicts and ambivalence toward themselves. It is not uncommon for parents to disown their self-critical attitudes and negative self-image by projecting them onto their child. When they do this, they are then overly critical of these projected qualities and traits in the youngster. As a result, children begin to see themselves through a negative filter, which will stay with them
ing the same critical statement that your parent said to you coming out of your mouth. You are horrified; you can’t believe you are acting that way with your child. The reality is that, in spite of parents’ best intentions, they will most likely reenact how they were parented. Some parents experience this when their child passes through a stage of development that was particularly painful or traumatic in their childhood. During these phases, parents often treat the child as they were treated at that age or as if their child was experiencing what they experienced. In order to stop this
reenactment of the past, parents have to face the painful feelings they experienced as a result of the treatment they received. If they revisit the early traumas, they can identify the destructive attitudes that they internalized and begin to regain themselves. They will then be able to offer the warmth, affection, love, and sensitive guidance necessary for their children’s well-being. Psychologists have found that children really “do as parents do, not as they say.” Being a positive role model for good behavior is far more powerful than specific training or disciplinary measures in raising children.

throughout their lives. But when we look into ourselves and understand where our self-critical attitudes and self-attacks come from, we will have more compassion for ourselves and our children. Dan Siegel says: “Children are particularly vulnerable to becoming the target of the projection of our nonconscious emotions and unresolved issues. Our defensive adaptations from earlier in life can restrict our ability to be receptive and empathic to our children’s internal experience. Without our own reflective self-understanding process engaged, such defensive parental patterns of response can produce distortions in a child’s experience of relating and reality.: Every parent has the experience, most often when reprimanding a child, of suddenly hear-

DAVIDSON, DORIS MARY Doris passed away peacefully at home on November 24, 2012. She is survived by her husband, John; children James, Anne, Charles and Mary; grandchildren Kate and Kit; sister Kate Drought and niece Jennifer. Doris was born March 15, 1924 to Charles and Pearl Dain, and spent almost her entire life on Kelowna’s Westside, returning after her marriage to John in 1949 to her childhood home to raise a family and farm a cherry orchard. She enjoyed a full and happy life, enriched by her many friends and her beloved animals. She taught English and Creative Writing at Kelowna Secondary School for many years and later, ESL classes. These brought new friendships and much personal satisfaction. As retirement approached Doris began raising Connemara ponies and brought the first of this breed to BC. She spent many years promoting and improving the Connemara breed and delighted in supporting new owners. Doris formed many life-long friendships through her interest in horses as well as through her other passion: writing stories and poetry. She passed many pleasant and stimulating hours with her writing friends as they read over and encouraged each other’s work. The family is very grateful for the medical and home care Doris received. Our special thanks to the family friends who visited and brought her cheer and comfort. In keeping with her wishes there will be no memorial service. Doris delighted in all animals and nature, and if so desired, a donation to an animal welfare organization of your choice would be appreciated.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen vegetarian quinoa There’s a new superfood on the block, and no one seems to know whether to call it a seed or a grain, but quinoa (pronounced keenwa) is being hailed as a nutrient-dense complete protein, which is a rarity in the plant world. Besides that, it’s very versatile and it’s also very tasty. With its sudden rise to fame, it’s no surprise that home economist and cookbook author Mairlyn Smith has pulled together her home economist colleagues to collaborate on 120 recipes for vegetarians, using quinoa, called The Vegetarian’s Complete Quinoa Cookbook, published by Whitecap Books. From breakfast to dessert, they have covered all the culinary bases in this book, which is full of information as well as delicious-looking recipes for this nutritious little gem. In addition, celiacs will be glad to know that quinoa is gluten-free, so there are quite a number of gluten-free recipes in this book. Mouth-watering photography and yummy-looking recipes make this a book to pick up if you’re interested in this new superfood. It’s available locally at Mosaic Books, along with my book, Jude’s Kitchen, both of which would make great gifts, if not something to add to your own collection. Incidentally, congratulations to local chef Mark Filatow of Waterfront Restaurant and Wine Bar, who brought home the gold medal against top Vancouver and Okanagan chefs and who will now compete against top chefs from across the country here in Kelowna, at the Canadian Culinary Championships in February.
Mexi-Meatless Shepherd's Pie Because of quinoa’s status as a complete plant protein, this makes a complete meal, nutritionally. 2 lb. (1 kg.) sweet potatoes 1 tbsp. (15 ml) canola oil 1 onion, chopped 1 red pepper, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp. (10 ml) ground cumin 19 oz. (540 ml) black beans, no salt added 1 c. (250 ml) cooked quinoa, 1 c. (250 ml) frozen corn 1 c. (250 ml) salsa 1/4 c. (60 ml) light sour cream 1/4 c.(60 ml) finely chopped cilantro 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) black pepper 1/4 c. (60 ml) thinly-sliced green onion Scrub sweet potatoes and pierce all over with a fork. Rinse black beans well and drain them. Prepare quinoa. (Rinse 1/3 cup quinoa and combine with 2/3 of a cup of water in a pot with a fitted lid. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.) Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
Bake the sweet potatoes for an hour, or until tender. Or, microwave at high for eight to 10 minutes. Cool until easy to handle. Lightly grease an 8-cup baking dish with oil or line it with wet parchment paper. Set aside. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, red pepper, garlic and cumin. Cook, stirring often, for five to seven minutes. Stir in the black beans, cooked quinoa, corn and salsa until well combined. Remove from heat. Pour into the prepared pan. If you used a microwave to cook the sweet potatoes, at this point pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Meanwhile, cut the cooled sweet potatoes in half and scrape out the flesh. Discard the skins. Mash the sweet potato well with the sour cream. Stir in the cilantro. Season with pepper, if desired. For a rustic look, spoon the sweet potato mixture over the quinoa mixture in heaping teaspoonfuls. Otherwise, spoon it on and spread it out. Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Garnish with green onion or chopped cilantro. Makes 6 cups.
Quinoa with Cumin-scented Sweet Potatoes JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
This is a nice easy main dish or side dish that can be partly prepared ahead of time and it’s full of delicious flavours. Don’t neglect the sprinkle of lemon juice at the end. I used yams instead of sweet potatoes. Recipe creator Jennifer MacKenzie says any recipe that combines sweet potatoes and quinoa is a health and flavour winner. Try pairing this with the White Bear 2011 Riesling, with its ripe fruit flavours with a refreshing hint of citrus. Very smooth and good value too. 1 1/2 lb. (750 g) sweet potato 2 tbsp. (30 ml) olive oil 1 1/2 tsp. (7 ml) ground cumin 1 tsp. (5 ml) ground coriander 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) black pepper 1 c. (250 ml) quinoa 1 3/4 c. (435 ml) vegetable broth 2 tbsp. (30 ml) fresh lemon or lime juice 2 tbsp. (30 ml) coarsely-chopped almonds 1/4 c. (60 ml) chopped fresh cilantro
Pre-heat the oven to 450 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper Peel and cut sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes. Combine the sweet potatoes, oil, cumin, coriander and pepper on the prepared baking sheet, spread in a single layer, and roast for about 20 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove when the sweet potatoes are golden brown on the outside and tender inside. Meanwhile, put the quinoa in a large pot, add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is translucent and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork, remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for five minutes. Gently fold the sweet potato and lemon juice into the cooked quinoa. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with the almonds and cilantro. Makes about 6 cups.
