Kelowna marina plan taking shape
Residents, workers, clients rally to save Crossroads
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
STAFF REPORTER
About 80 people marched Tuesday along Highway 33—from Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick’s office to Crossroads Treatment Centre—to show their opposition to the closure of Crossroads. Earlier this month the non-profit society that deals with addiction services announced it would be forced to shut its doors partly due to a failure to reach a funding agreement with Interior Health for the publicly-funded treatment beds and detox beds it provides. The current funding contract between Crossroads and Interior Health was renewed last year for a three-year term. Less than a year in, Crossroads asked for an 85 per cent increase in funding. Interior Health offered a 30 per cent increase, but that was not enough. Sonia Nicholson is a Hospital Employees’ Union member and has been a detox nurse with Crossroads for six years.

MAKING A DREAM COME TRUE…A customer places her order during Wendy’s
Dreamlift Day at the restaurant’s Harvey Avenue location on Wednesday afternoon. Yesterday was the 19th year that Wendy’s has held the fundraising event to benefit the Sunshine Foundation of Canada at nine Wendy’s locations throughout the Southern Interior. The money raised, which wasn’t yet finalized at the Capital News deadline, enables a plane full of children to fly to Disneyland for a day and put aside, for a while at least, being confronted by severe physical disabilities or life-threatening illnesses. The flights leave Kelowna for Disneyland every two years, with the next flight slated for later this year.

The face of Kelowna’s downtown lakeshore is about to change. The company building the new public pier and marina off Kelowna’s downtown lakeshore says it plans to start demolishing the exiting small building and commercial dock just off Kerry Park within the next few weeks. The demolition will make way for the new $5 million pier and day-use marina. The 60-slip marina will also include seven commercial slips. “We are pleased and excited to finally be moving into the construction phase of this project,” said Gail Temple, director of development for Westcorp Properties Inc, the Edmonton-based company behind the development. As part of its agreement with the city, Westcorp will design, build and maintain the pier in return for the revenues generated from renting the slips and the sale of fuel at the facility’s new fuel bar. “Given the high visibility of the marina’s location, and the fact that this amenity will function as a water ‘gateway’ to the downtown core, Westcorp felt strongly that aesthetics and quality were extremely important,” said Temple of the stylized wooden structures that will grace the pier and marina. “We have created what we hope people will feel are beautiful little buildings. Their architecture will be interesting during the day, and during the evening, the buildings will not fade into the darkness, but rather, they will become elegant ‘lanterns’ on the waterfront. The company, which also owns land at the corner of Abbott Street and Queenway close to the site of the new pier, wants to build a boutique on the site and plans to have the pier and marina complete by May. It is building the barges that will support each building at the facility off-site and plans to float them into place after they are assembled on the west side of the lake. The new marina will have 68 slips, 27 for hourly use by boaters, 11 for rental boats and 30 for daily and nightly temporary moorage.

Encore high school concerts showcases variety of talent Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It’s not Glee. In fact, music teacher Neil Wong says Glee has not had any impact on the Kelowna Secondary School music program—and he’s none too fond of the show. “It’s not like we just walk in, hand out the music and then everyone plays it perfectly,” he says. “It’s just really not like that.” It’s fair comment when one considers how hard both the music teachers and the students in the program work. Of the 20 different performance options they are about to showcase at their annual public concert, Encore, only a couple are scheduled to practise during the regular school timetable. Otherwise, it’s early mornings and late nights and practising over lunch. There is a television program that did have quite the impact on the music program’s development. A documentary called Motown High struck a chord with Wong a couple of years back. It’s about a Victoria high school where teacher Eric Emde started an R&B band so successful it made the trip to Detroit—home of the genre—and Motown diva Martha Reeves came out to sing with them. “I thought, that’s what I want to do here,” said Wong, noting he doesn’t have the time to make the KSS R&B Band a fulltime vocation like Emde, but has seen it take off all the same. The group performs Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder and Adele. High school kids aren’t overly enthused about turning up for a concert band performance, but when

SHEILA FRENCH is in charge of 15 of the Kelowna Secondary School music
program groups. A musician herself with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, French helped institute the Okanagan SymphonyYouth Chorus. the R&B Band takes the stage, they bring cheering posters like regular concert-going music fans. This is the sort of outside-the-box thinking that’s built this music program to a point where it’s strong enough to invite the entire city in to watch
an annual performance at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Wong’s colleague, Sheila French, runs 15 of the groups. She plays for the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, helped institute the new Okanagan Symphony Youth Chorus
and is hard at work ensuring KSS performers are up to snuff for next week, even though it’s semester break. “I’m seeing you moving. I can’t be seeing you moving,” she says to one of the choral groups practising Tuesday. “It’s disre-
spectful to your audience. It’s disrespectful to everyone else on stage.” No one balks at the demands to respect the music. They just try to stand straighter. In interviews afterwards, 17-year-old Amelia Wynn-Williams and 16-year-old Evan Andrulevich pile on the praise, saying French is an incredible teacher capable of bringing out the best in anybody. Encore, they say, is the pinnacle of their year here in Kelowna. “It’s sort of like the performance aspect of the courses,” says Wynn-Williams. “We would hope the public would come because it’s more fun than just playing for parents. Parents are good too, but it’s just better that way.” Wynn-Williams says she loves to perform and has been on stage since she was three years old. There are 200 young musicians, equally keen and willing to come to school when they could be in bed and stay late when they could be out with friends. “The best part is entertaining people. It’s not like there are a lot of opportunities to hear classical music,” said Andrulevich. “The worst live music is still better than anything you hear on the radio.” Encore isn’t just about watching young artists
Amelia Wynn-Williams
Neil Wong develop. It’s also about money. As teachers and the government settle into a new bargaining framework, the parents and students in this band and choir program get set to sing for their worth. The program gets just $5,000 to run every year. With that money the groups travel to festivals to perform. Their instruments, like the piano, are tuned and repaired—a $100,000 district-wide fund for this aspect of the program was eliminated a couple of years back—and the teachers rent materials
and performance spaces. There is an outreach aspect to the program. The school’s Night Owl Orchestra offers members of the community a chance to play their instruments alongside the young musicians, building up the wider music community. And next week there are two opportunities to see what all the fuss is about. The performance runs two nights on Tuesday, Feb. 5, and Wednesday, Feb. 6, both at 7 p.m., and lasts for about two and a half hours each night. Tuesday, Feb. 5, will feature the Grade 10 Concert Band, Chamber Choir, Jazz Band 11, Ruth and the Boyz, R&B Band, Vocal Jazz Combo, Grade 10 Jazz Band, and the Night Owl Orchestra. The audience for the Wednesday, Feb. 6, concert will hear the Grade 10 Jazz Band, Concert Choir, Jazz Combo 11, Ladies Chamber Choir, Senior Concert Band, Vocal Jazz, Grade 10 Jazz Combo, Men’s Chamber Choir, and Jazz Band 12 take the stage. Tickets are available at Mosaic Books on Bernard Avenue, at the Kelowna Community Theatre door, or by calling KSS. Cost is $15 for one night and $20 for two; $5 for one night for students and $7 for two. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

“People who believe Kelowna doesn’t have a drug problem are truly naive,” said Nicholson. “Last month the number of clients who entered the doors of detox was in the triple digits.” She noted the clients will be most impacted by the decision to close Crossroads’ doors. “The staff can all walk away hurt, sad and without a job, but in all reality we will all find a job and move on. My real fear is: What about the clients?” One of those clients is 33-year-old Dean Desousa. He has been suffering from heroin and cocaine addiction since he was 15.

It’s very limited, and this is probably the best one out there.” Darren Washington, 24, said he is already looking at life differently after just one week at
Crossroads. “I came in here with a broken spirit, no confidence…cocaine ruined my life, my friendships, my relationship,” said Washington. “Within the week I’ve changed…I wake up every morning and stop looking at the negative; (rather), the goodness of it.” Mike Nuyens, who is
on the provincial executive of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union, spoke to the crowd Tuesday on behalf of the 12 workers who are staffed at the facility. “Detox and treatment services are successful in saving lives, bringing families back together, getting people back to work and back to living,”
said Nuyens. “Interior Health has no transitional plan and has made no commitment to continue the service. “We call upon Interior Health, the ministry of health and our Okanagan MLAs to do better. To come together and put together a plan to save this service that the community has a right to.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Nine suspects arrested in police drug sweep Nine people are facing the possibility of drug possession and trafficking charges after they were arrested in a drug sweep over the weekend. On Saturday, police conducted a series of unrelated investigations into drug trafficking and observed what appeared to be a number of drug deals, making the nine arrests in the aftermath. As such, the RCMP have seized heroin, crack cocaine, powder cocaine, methamphetamine, steroids and prescription pills, as well as cash and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking. The following people were arrested: • Madison Fine, 20, of Kelowna, is charged with one count of trafficking in a controlled substance. She remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 5. • Matthew Wiebe, 34, and Adam Pentony-Woolwoch, 24, of Kelowna, are
charged with possession of a controlled substance. Wiebe is scheduled to appear in court today, while Pentony-Woolwoch will appear on March 7. • Cameron Ford, 46, of Kelowna, is charged with trafficking and possession of a controlled substance. He is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 5. A 45-year-old Kelowna man who was arrested with Ford was released without charges. • Vikeshwar Singh, 27, of Kelowna, is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. He is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 4. • Nathan Rae, 27, of Surrey, is charged with trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking. He is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 4. • A 17-year-old Kelowna boy and a 15-year-old Kelowna girl have both been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. The boy also faces charges of trafficking and remains in custody. The girl will appear in court on Jan. 31, while the boy will appear on Feb. 5.
Driver in court to face fatal dangerous driving charge Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR
A Quesnel man has made his first court appearance in relation to a West Kelowna crash that took the life of a mother of two. Jordan Wayne Garvin, 22, has been charged with dangerous driving causing the death of 46-yearold Cindy Thomas and dangerous driving causing bodily harm. Thomas died on March 3, 2012, when the Pontiac Bonneville she was a passenger in was hit as it made a left turn onto Ross Road from Highway 97. The crash likely killed Thomas instantly. The
drivers of the Pontiac and Lexus involved in the crash were injured. At the time, police alleged aggressive driving and speeding on the part of the Lexus were factors in the collision. They were also investigating whether the light was yellow or red at the time the Pontiac turned left. Garvin was scheduled to make his first court appearance on Tuesday and his case has been put over until Feb. 19. He is one of two people facing charges in the crash, court records show. Scott Preston, the alleged driver of the Pontiac, was charged last
week with the Motor Vehicle Act offences of failing to stop for a yellow light at an intersection and driving without a driver’s licence. The 45-year-old is scheduled to make his first court appearance in early March.

the marina. The buildings will be wood with metal roofing, and the deck of the marina will be wood with metal accents on the handrails and bull rails.
In contrast to the global grid material first proposed for the deck, it was felt that wood would be much more appealing, both in terms of look and feel, said Temple. To present an attractive waterfront image in the evening, down lighting will be used on the underside of the bull rails (similar to what is used on the promenade in front of Stuart Park), and up lighting will be used within the buildings to create a desired “lantern” effect. “The objective is elegance and warmth,” said
Temple. “There will be benches available for public use along the length of the floating pier and at the end of the structure in the seating pavilion. These will be accessible to the public during City of Kelowna park hours. Infrastructure work, including water, sewer, power and fuel lines, will be done in March and April and will be coordinated with the city to avoid interference with planned Bernard Avenue revitalization work. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Today we live with institutions established in the past with the technology of the past to solve the problems of scarcity of the past.” But this will change when scarcity itself becomes a thing of the past. Burke notes the next big thing being explored in nano-technology is what’s called a personal nano-factory, which would essentially let any person on the planet assemble and process things at the molecular level to produce whatever they want—fresh water, clothing, a car, gold, lunch, medication, a bottle of chardonnay, the Mona
Lisa. Burke said in two or three decades, nano-technology in more general terms promises extraordinary advances: • virtually free energy • delivery of medication to specific individual cells in the body • clean drinking water planet-wide • a pollution-free global environment • non-wasteful bottom-up manufacturing • food for everybody delivered in intelligent packaging • silent, clean transportation systems • ubiquitous zeta-byte computers on a chip • virtually free ultra-high bandwidth • the end of the greenhouse effect and the ozone layer problem, and semi-intelligent machines of all kinds at all scales. “If it’s atoms and molecules—and what isn’t— you’ll be able to make it,” he said. “I’m not making a case for how soon this will happen; that it will come does not seem to be in doubt.”

Pub to host Singalong Saturdays Fake firearm leads to arrest Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
If you’re the type of person who gets a song stuck in your head and doesn’t mind a good Newfoundland kitchen party, Singalong Saturdays just might be for you. Running Saturday evenings at the Pheasant and Quail Pub, the concept is the brainchild of local folk singer Andrew Smith who has been meaning to start just such an event for years. “I suspect it’s scratching an itch,” said Smith. “People like to get together and sing and, unless you go to church every week, you don’t get to experience what’s it’s like to sit in a room full of people and just sing along.”

THE PUBLIC HOUSE BAND performs for Singalong Saturdays under the leadership of Andrew Smith, second from the right Smith has just returned from the Winter Folk Festival where he was performing with his son, Zachari Smith. Zachari, known for his work with Vancouver music collective The Geese, plays drums for the band, known as The Public House Band. He is joined on stage by Sherri Funk of Smith Funk and Strauss, Eric
Dicer on keyboards and Rob McAlpine of the Dust Rhinos on bass. The songs include hits from the ‘50s, ‘60s even new tunes from Taylor Swift. The only criteria is that the set list must be something everyone can catch onto quite quickly. The evening is not karaoke and the band is not a cover band; the concept is intentionally de-
signed to get the whole room singing. “I think it’s an idea whose time has come,” said Smith. “This is something that’s quite common if you travel around to different parts of the world, just not in Western Canada.” Singalong Saturdays will run through midMarch Saturdays at the Pheasant and Quail Pub.
A Kelowna man has been charged, accused of uttering threats and pointing a firearm Jordan Jones, 21, was charged with uttering threats and assault with a weapon after allegedly pointing a replica handgun at two individuals in an alley near the intersection of Richter Street and Wardlaw Avenue. Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark said police were shocked by how realistic the fake gun
looked. “Police officers were immediately struck by how realistic the firearm appeared, even up close,” said Clark. One of the officers happened to own the real version of the exact model seized—the comparison between the two illustrates how easily one could be mistaken for the other. Clark said police don’t have the luxury of examining a suspect’s weapon before engaging them;
therefore, they have to rely on their knowledge, experience and perceptions in order to respond. “When faced with the apparent threat of a firearm, the results could be disastrous.” Dean Schaffler was one of the individuals who had the fake gun pointed at him Jan. 19. “I was scared for my life,” Schaffler said at the time. Jones has since been released with his next court appearance Feb. 18.

A golf stag party may end up being the humble origins of what eventually brings Kelowna its first respite centre and hospice house for children. After Brad Krauza spent his bachelor party on the golf course with 15 close friends several years ago, the group vowed to get together to play 18 holes more often. The gathering became an annual event and in the third year, the friends decided to raise money for a good cause. “A fellow musician’s dad had passed away, so (we said): Let’s raise some money, do a dedication to his dad and maybe we could raise money for kids somewhere because we all have kids,” said Krauza. “So we put on the golf tournament for the Central Okanagan Child Development Association.” In recent years, funds from the golf tournament went toward helping local families with costs so they were able to be at Canuck Place with their children during their final stages of life. Markus Smythe was a benefactor from the 2011
lot of money, but he believes there is a need. Recent conversations have led him to believe the community is willing to help. “We’ve already had people offering us property for free. “I think if we all come together, it will happen a lot sooner than later.”

Diagnosing prostatic gland abnormalities in canines
A
ll men older than age 50 are advised to get their prostate gland checked regularly. Male dogs can also suffer from prostatic abnormalities. The prostate is an accessory sex gland in males that completely surrounds the urethra at the neck of the bladder. The prostate produces the sperm fluids. The most common abnormalities in the prostate glands are infections (prostatitis), benign enlargement of the prostate or prostatic cancer. Prostatitis is an infection of the prostate. This infection is usually accompanied by systemic signs of illness such as fever, lack of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy and painful urination. Many of the dogs suffering from prostatitis will have an arched back. The infection can become chronic and severely affect the dog’s fertility. Your veterinarian may want to collect prostatic secretions for culture and cytology. Once the diagnosis is made, the dog is placed on an oral antibiotic selected on the basis of culture and sensitivity tests. Antibiotics have difficulty penetrating the swollen prostate, so longterm administration is ne-

Dr. Moshe Oz cessary. Culturing a sample of fluids from the prostate allows the isolation of the specific causative agent of the infection and the best drug to treat it. Any diagnosis of the prostatic abnormalities is done first by a physical exam. Palpation of the prostate via rectal exam yields essential information. The prostate gland size, symmetry and existence of pain upon palpation, are all important data required in order to reach a diagnosis. When infection is suspected, the dog will be treated with systemic antibiotics. If the infection complicates and a prostatic abscess is formed, a surgical intervention is usually required. The second and most common prostatic abnormality in dogs is a benign enlargement of the prostate gland. This condition is called hyperplasia. Prostatic hyperplasia is a symmetric enlargement of the prostate. This condition is caused due to testosterone effect, thus can only affect intact dogs. The process of the enlargement usually starts when the dog is around five years old.

The prostate gland gradually increases in size. Because of its location, when the prostate gland enlarges significantly, it presses on the rectum and disturbs normal passage of feces, leading to constipation. Although less common, the prostate gland can also alter urine passage in the urethra and urination. The typical symptoms associated with that condition are straining to urinate and the presence of blood in the urine. The best treatment for the benign enlargement of the prostate gland is eliminating the testosterone from the body by neutering the dog. The enlarged prostate decreases in size shortly after the dog gets neutered. The third type of prostatic pathology is prostatic cancer. This type of cancer is fairly rare in dogs. It is not influenced by testosterone, so it can occur in both neutered and intact male dogs. Ultrasonography provides additional information and may be helpful in guiding a needle into the prostate to obtain a biopsy, a procedure indicated when cancer is suspected. Unfortunately, usually by the time of the cancer diagnosis, the condition is too advanced to be treated. While I’m a strong believer that knowledge is power, unfortunately prostatic cancer can’t be prevented. However, the other two main phenomenons—prostatitis and benign enlargement— can be treated or even prevented. Moshe Oz operates the Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital at 2476 Westlake Rd.

Canada Summer Jobs office helps students find work I MP’S REPORT
Ron Cannan school year.. Designed to focus on local priorities, the initiative provides funding to not-for-profit, public-sector and small private-sector employers with 50 or fewer employees. This year, the application process for employees will be held from Feb. 1 to 28. Assessment of applications will take place in March and employers will be contacted in May so that students can be hired beginning in May 2013. Canada Summer Job proposals will be as-
sessed using the following guidelines: • service to local communities • jobs that support local priorities • jobs that provide career-related experience or early work experience • jobs with a salary that contributes to the student’s income • employers who provide supervision and mentoring • project activities that are directed toward members of, and support the vitality of, an official language minority community and • employers who intend to hire priority students (students with disabilities, aboriginal students and students who are members of visible
minority groups). In 2011, Ottawa increased the budget for Canada Summer Jobs by $10 million, bringing the total program budget to $107.5 million. The increased funding will help more students gain the skills and experience they need to be successful, now and in the future, while at the same time earning money for the upcoming school year. If you are an employer who thinks you can hire a student this summer, please go to servicecanada.gc.ca/csj2013 for information and learn how to apply.

Pink Shirt Day takes aim at bullying The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs will again joining the provincial and national movements to celebrate Pink Shirt Day—Bullying Stops Here, on Wednesday, Feb. 27. City councils across the Okanagan along with Boys & Girls Club kids, staff, school districts, McDonald’s staff and other community members will be wearing pink to raise awareness and to demonstrate that we are all part of the solution to stop bullying. Boys and Girls Club members across the Okanagan will be participating in planned activities that provide education, awareness and teach skills to encourage empathy building during the week leading up to Pink Shirt Day. Pink Shirt Day originated in Nova Scotia where a new high school student was being bullied and harassed when he showed up at school wearing a pink T-shirt. In support, two young men purchased 50 pink T-shirts from a discount store and enlisted fellow students to wear the pink shirts at school to support the new student who was being bullied. Since this powerful act of solidarity, Pink Shirt Day has made its way across Canada and into B.C. and is now internationally recognized. This year, the response has been overwhelming, with more than 3,500 shirts being sold so far sold in the Okanagan. Pink Shirts will be available at Boys and Girls Clubs and McDonald’s outlets throughout the Okanagan from Feb. 20 to 27 until supplies last. Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs are a leading provider of programs to children and youth that support the healthy physical, educational and social development of more than 6,000 young people and their families each year since 1959.

Idle No More stokes the fires
T
he Idle No More movement continues to pick up steam. But is all of the drumming and chanting doing any good? A Canadian Press Harris-Decima poll done earlier this month found that only four in 10 Canadians is sympathetic to the goals of Idle No More. But the same poll found that fewer than four in 10 Canadians were familiar with the aims of the movement. To us, that’s a big disconnect and a sign that supporters aren’t
piquing the average citizen’s interest with demonstrations. That doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty of work to do to resolve systemic problems in the relationship between First Nations and government. Getting key players on both sides to sit down and talk about those issues is a good start. Assembly of First Nations national chief Shawn Atleo, who met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Jan. 11, says his organization will pressure the feds to continue working toward
improving that relationship. Atleo and Harper met a year ago in what the prime minister’s office called “a historic meeting.” No doubt, work has since been done to clarify goals around governance, access to education, community self-sufficiency and other areas. Idle No More emerged, nonetheless, which makes one question whether Harper and company were paying lip service to First Nations last January. Despite the seeming discon-
nect with the majority of Canadians, the grassroots protest movement has restoked the fire in First Nations and is slowly getting non-aboriginals to pay more attention to grassroots aboriginal issues. But progress won’t come through noisy demonstrations. It’ll be achieved through First Nations leaders working together with government using a focused, unified, businesslike approach.

City workers who took their sense of entitlement too far
A
n honest day’s work for an honest day’s wage. That might have been the mantra for the labour movement back in the day, but things can change once your job is secure and difficulties with management skewer one’s viewpoint. This week it was revealed that a covert investigation by the City of Hamilton has led to the firing of 29 city workers. Almost all of those who were monitored by private investigators armed with video cameras and access to GPS tracking devices on the city trucks one day last October were fired—29 unionized employees and another two suspended without pay. Their collective mistake was as
members of a small army of city road crews, to leave the city works yard with a truck “hot box” of fresh asphalt bound for roads that needed repairs. At the end of the day, the asphalt was gone and the workers confirmed their roads had been fixed. In reality, the workers were drawing a day’s pay, in some cases, for just minutes of actual work. The workers, instead, had spent the day in coffee shops, bars, at their homes or running personal errands. What happened to the asphalt re-
mains under investigation. Hamilton’s public works committee chair called it “unconscionable” for the workers to do less than an Barry hour’s work for a full Gerding day’s pay. While working just one hour is admittedly a little drastic, I can remember my years working as a campus janitor at UBC in Vancouver on weekends with the same attitude. Rarely did I ever have to work a 7.5 hour day to qualify for what then was a great paying job for a student, and my co-workers and I had little
EDITOR’S NOTE
trouble justifying that. It wasn’t an attitude I came in with, it was learned and imposed on the job. I can remember during workdays with my two or three shiftmates going downtown in Vancouver for breakfast, watching sports events like a Stanley Cup game or the Super Bowl on a faculty lounge television to kill a Sunday afternoon…and we always were able to justify it in our minds. Spending hours of idle time, when in theory we should have been working, was a factor I always felt encouraged me to pursue journalism as a career, because I wanted to do something beyond just killing time between punching in and punching out five days a week.
In the Hamilton situation, the city expects the fired workers to grieve losing their jobs, and their union will be obligated, no matter how damning the evidence, to do so because they are union dues contributors. I’m sure there will be no shortage of people lining up to fill those job openings, but in time that gratefulness will probably give way to being jaded about their job situation as well. Sometimes we just don’t know how good we have it, and when we do it doesn’t seem hard to convince ourselves to think otherwise.

▼ POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION
Students expect more support from B.C. gov’t To the editor: Steve Thomson must have had a different province in mind while writing his MLA Report (Good News for Okanagan College) for the Friday, Jan. 25, edition of the Capital News. Certainly not B.C., where the average student debt at graduation is around $27,000 and the interest the government charges on that debt is the highest in Canada. Perhaps Thomson was thinking of Newfoundland and Labrador, where student loans are interest
free, and tuition has not only been frozen since 1999, but was actually rolled back 25 per cent in the mid-2000s. I find it so interesting that we can’t even offer to our students such a simple thing as interest-free student loans. The whole concept of going to school is to increase your own value, thereby increasing the GDP of the province and increasing the province’s tax revenue. So, when the average student gets out of school and does, hopeful-
ly, find a job, we’re paying so much in student loan interest and taxes on our increased paycheques that for the next five years, if not longer, we’ll likely be taking home less than if we didn’t go to school. This is made even worse by the insane cost of living in Kelowna. Thomson adds that government investments in post-secondary education will benefit local students and the economy. He’s right. However, it’s not enough, and the long-term neglect of
post-secondary education is being felt extremely hard as more and more students walk out into a recession with few jobs and few opportunities. In a society where post-secondary education is touted as a great equalizer, local students from average to low income families, without a strong support system, are finding it harder and harder to access the system. It’s great that Steve is proud that Okanagan College business students are competitive at a national
level; I’m proud of them too, and in fact I was one last year. Which I guess makes it hurt even more when I see someone like our MLA bragging about the hard work we do yet doing little to support us. We expect more from our government when it comes to post-secondary education. Our province clearly has a lot of improving to do.

▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE
One-time funding and photo ops inadequate To the editor: After reading Steve Thomson’s MLA Report (Jan. 25 Capital News) I feel there are a few things that are begging to be addressed. I currently work at the college for the Students’ Union and I am incredibly happy to see one-time
investments; however, I would also like to see continued support for our post-secondary education system. This idea of one-time spending is not the answer, nor is it enough to sustain a thriving college. Here at Okanagan College, we have con-
sistently seen budget cuts due to the government refusing to increase funding by inflation. On the other hand, universities have seen their funding increased every year by inflation. How can the college expect to stay competitive when it is forced to
choose between turning on the lights and hiring a much-needed professor? If Mr. Thomson’s government wants to see support this election they really need to take time out of their days and really address the current issues in the post secondary sector. The government
needs to be making post secondary education affordable and available to all instead of looking for flashy photo opportunities and one-time funding opportunities. Grayson Lepp, Kelowna
▼ HEALTH CARE
B.C.’s medical record transcription outsourced To the editor: The B.C. Liberals’ health care budget slashing means more and more services for British Columbians are being consolidated under the leadership of one health authority, and in that agenda, outsourcing plays a major role. Outsourcing not only impacts the employees, who have lost their jobs, but also impacts patient care in the community. Contracting out has affected many areas of the health care industry, most recently in medical records. (Patient Data Violations Alert Explained in Letter, Jan. 29 Capital News.) Every patient in this province who is treated by a physician or clinic, has procedures, surgeries or diagnostic testing performed, and any hospital will have a medical report to describe the physician’s findings, medications given and treatment recommendations. These visits are then voice recorded by the physician, and then accurately converted into medical documents by the medical transcriptionist (MT). Medical transcriptionists are highly skilled and
trained with an ability to decipher foreign accents and are equipped with an extensive knowledge of medical terminology, pharmacology and various medical procedures. These transcribed medical documents remain in the patient’s personal health record alongside their respective laboratory tests. The Lower Mainland Health Information Management (LMHIM) has 130 hospital-trained employees in the Medical Transcription Services department working in three satellite hubs. Due to the health authority’s zealous ambition to outsource, these in-house MTs have been given termination letters ending their jobs as of August 2013. An MT working for a private-for-profit company is considered a subcontractor. They work in their homes on privately owned computers. However, in this increasingly digital age, their home computers are subject to security breaches or computer hacking, and subcontractors are not asked for a criminal record background check. In the hospital, an employee is subject to a crim-
inal record background check and signs a confidentiality agreement to ensure patient’s medical records remain confidential. In-house MTs work in a secure location provided by the health authority on secure computers monitored by an internal IT service. Medical transcriptionists working at any of the secured hubs come across a large number of reports that have been edited by physicians on a daily basis. Those reports are then corrected by the MT. In-house MTs are familiar with the province of British Columbia and can easily distinguish between Burrard Street and Broadway. Being a British Columbian benefits us with diversity, and as such, we understand the many different spellings of names to accurately identify physicians so that the patient’s report can be forwarded to the correct physician. An outsourced MT has limited resources, such as the Internet and textbooks; however, they are not familiar with local names, places or physician names. As a health authority medical transcriptionist, I take great pride in the abil-
ity of our in-house transcriptionists to accurately create medical documents with patient care in mind. I do not want to depend on the accuracy of someone living and working in another province. An outsourcing company has recently begun transcribing Lower Mainland medical dictations. Their subcontractors transcribe B.C. medical records all over Canada. B.C. patients have the right to obtain copies of their medical reports when visiting their local hospital or physician to maintain knowledge and accuracy of their own personal
health records. • Do you know who is transcribing your confidential medical report? • Do you want to depend on someone living and working in another province to accurately transcribe your medical records? Let’s stop the provincial government from further outsourcing essential hospital services in our province and keep our local hospitals—and jobs— local. Annette Anganu and Barbara Rennie, LMHIM medical transcriptionists, Abbotsford

HEALTHY LIVING
Regular eye exams are vital to visual health and early detection of glaucoma
Sensible snacking solutions and tips (NC)—When you’re busy and on-the-go, having healthy food choices in a snap is a must. There are a lot of snack options to choose from, but not all of them are good choices for a healthy lifestyle. The best snacks contain beneficial nutrients and ingredients you can actually pronounce. Snacks with protein and fibre and that are low in sugar will keep you energized and curb your hunger so you can avoid making poor choices later in the day. The best way to keep your snack habits in check is to know yourself. Pay attention to when you’re hungry and what you’re craving the most (sweets, salty and crunchy, etc.), and figure out some go-to healthy alternatives to fit these cravings. Then, take a few minutes each morning to pack smart snacks for the day and you’ll be prepared for when hunger hits. It’s called “smart” snacking not only because it’s healthy, but also because it’s easy, delicious and satisfying. Portable snack options help prevent crashing or giving in to poor food choices no matter where you are. Try out these tricks: • Invest in a reusable snack bag or resealable bags to keep a stash of your own snacks in your purse, car or gym bag. • Keep non-perishable snacks in your office or desk drawer, like instant oatmeal, almonds, baked chips, pretzels, dried fruit and a jar of almond butter. Add fresh ingredients such as yogurt, apples, grapes, cheese or whole-wheat toast to create a variety of snack combinations. • Seek out smart snacks on the road, such as pre-packaged vegetables and dip, edamame, fruit and cheese, baked snacks or nutty trail mixes that you can portion out mindfully. • Snack bars that use whole, unprocessed ingredients are perfect for stashing in carry-on baggage. • Bottled vegetable juices contain nutrients and fibre in a pinch; just be careful about added sugar. More information is available online at www.AlmondBoard.com.
Dried Figs Stuffed with Almonds and Cream Cheese

NC)—When mid-morning or afternoon hunger hits, that dreaded energy drain can make us reach for a little boost. It is tempting to grab indulgent snack foods, so it’s wise to plan out well-portioned, healthy snacks ahead of time. These perfect portion ideas from the Almond Board of California make smart snacking decisions easy: • A nutritious snack is packed with nutrients and has fewer than 200 calories. • Energy-boosting snacks should contain protein, fibre and very little added sugar. • A perfect portion of almonds is one ounce (28g) or 23 almonds – about a handful – and contains 3.5 grams of fibre and 6 grams of protein. • One tablespoon (15 mL) of almond butter has about 100 calories, 1 gram of fibre and 2 grams of protein to help keep you satisfied until your next meal. Try these power-pairings for the ideal mid-morning or mid-afternoon pick-me-up: • Whole-grain bread or apple slices with almond butter; • A small handful of whole natural almonds and dried fruit; • Sliced turkey with mustard; • Low-fat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese and granola; • Air-popped vegetable chips or soy chips and hummus; • Handful of whole natural almonds and an ounce of cheese; • An ounce each of dark chocolate and almonds. Or, assemble this bite-sized snack. With only three ingredients, it is simple to prepare, plus the 6 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of fibre will provide you with energy during those mid-morning or afternoon slumps.
DIRECTIONS Make a lengthwise slit in each fig, not cutting all the way through. Spread a teaspoon of cream cheese inside each hole, and stuff with one or two almonds. Serve. More information is available online at AlmondBoard.com.

The only preventative measure for glaucoma, which can cause loss of peripheral vision, tunnel vision and blindness, is testing. Regular eye exams are the only way to diagnose this condition, which is caused by increased pressure within the eye that cannot be felt. “Once glaucoma hits a certain point, it’s very hard to prevent it from getting worse,” said Dr. Nav Nijhawan, Chair of the Eye Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. “It’s extremely important that people have their eyes examined regularly because it’s the only way to diagnose glaucoma in its early stages.” To diagnose glaucoma and determine what treatment is required, ophthalmologists must conduct an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan to assess the optic nerve and a visual field test to detect central and peripheral vision problems. Early detection and treatment is essential to prevent severe vision loss or blindness.

(NC)—There is a reason that glaucoma is called ‘the silent thief’ by ophthalmologists – symptoms are inconspicuous at first, but once they do present themselves, permanent damage to vision may have already occurred. According to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), approximately 250,000 Canadians have glaucoma. It is the second most common cause of vision loss in Canada, and there is no cure.

CAROL WAINIO, Puss in Boots Copies, 2009, acrylic on canvas.
▼ KELOWNA ART GALLERY
Wonderful technique on dark ruminations
K
elowna and area residents, as well as visitors to the Okanagan who like painting, will not want to miss the Kelowna Art Gallery’s recently opened exhibition of work by nationally recognized, Ottawa-based artist Carol Wainio. The show comprises 15 works, all painted in the last 10 years, and part of a series concerning the illustrated book. Wainio began in the early 2000s looking at medieval books of hours, then a few years later moved to illustrated children’s books. The power that book illustrations have for children led her to consider the power of all images, and of the appearance of things in general. Despite their beginnings with such fairy tales as Puss in Boots, for example, these paintings take a decided turn
ON VIEW
Liz Wylie to the dystopian, as they are set in contemporary times. The opened spread of pages in an illustrated book as a compositional structural device has devolved into a debased portal, set in the middle of a blighted landscape. Sometimes the frames of the opened pages read like third-world shanties, with depicted scraps of corrugated metal stuck on top. Old paintings of animals in nineteenth-century illustration style are randomly stacked, along with bits of trash and abandoned stuffed toys. In some cases there are
references to farms producing genetically modified crops, where the discarded plastic footwear of disenfranchised migrant farm workers, and old plastic shopping bags litter the scene. Unlike many others among our best painters working today, Wainio does not take on the status and tradition of painting as an art form as part of the meaning or exploration of her work. She takes as a given the arsenal and references that painting can draw on, and uses all that depth of tradition as her starting point. Then she builds on this— the way one might plant a garden on an old compost site—to rich effect. Her skill at the medium itself is unerring, and there is never a false note or weak point in any See Wylie A18
The pastel children’s images in Carol Wainio’s exhibit The Book, which opened Friday at the Kelowna Art Gallery, are at once inviting and horrifying, familiar and appalling—and therein lies their beauty. The exhibit presents as a giant storybook with wall-sized images of common fairy tales and illustrative drawings anyone lucky enough to have grown up around a Beatrix Potter collection or a decent copy of Jack in the Beanstalk will find nostalgic. Cloaked in pale pinks and blues, often with the kind of faint mint backdrop one expects to find in a child’s nursery, each painting harks back to a simpler time when life was about beauty and stories fantastical and repetitive enough one understood exactly where the twists and turns of each tale would lead. The devil is literally in the detail in this work for, as one approaches each painting, it’s clear the picturesque illustrations serve as both a metaphor and a sharp contrast to the transformational desires in each text. “The stories evoke a particular premodern moment, a moment of scarcity of things and social hierarchy that we really can’t imagine anymore,” said Wainio, who was described at her opening, Friday, as one of the country’s leading painters and scholars. This collection is all about those areas of the world where we can imagine this desire to change still exists, where one might hope to transform from a toad to a prince, to win the princess, to run
Carol Wainio from poverty to the American dream. Wainio is thus challenging her viewers to consider how modernization, the pursuit of excess, the crisis in the global food cycle and the politics of poverty reflect a timeless power struggle the developed world too easily forgets. Images of the Puss in Boots storybook sit behind a cluttered foreground of plastic footwear in Puss in Boots #10, paying homage to the disposable lifestyle those living in premodern conditions struggle to achieve. This could be a landscape of a Mexican dump where children grow up surviving on the discarded excess of others, but it’s actually an Indian farmer’s field. The painter was reading Globe and Mail columnist Doug Saunder’s work on the Green Revolution in India when she noticed a photo paired with his article that looked exactly like images of farmers in premodern Europe, an ox and plough
tilling the fields in the early 1600s, around the same time the fairy tales she studies were written. The column spoke of Indian farmer’s suicides and how those striving for a more modern agricultural operation and lifestyle are selling their last cow to pay for Monsanto seeds that no longer produce more seeds at the end of each growing cycle, thereby requiring the farmer to purchase seeds again the next year. Among the many failures of the Green Revolution, these seeds also demand the farmer buy specific pesticides to achieve a successful crop. Soon costs overburden crop yields and the farmers end up killing themselves trying to achieve the very disposable lifestyle that litters their fields with plastic flip-flops. “I was thinking about those stories and how they were about transforming a peasant into a prince and how the acquisition of things, and the use of transformational objects, is used to achieve great
change,” said Wainio. Jack in the Beanstalk shows up in the exhibit as the painting Jack and the Cornstalk, for example, looking at what Wainio describes as one of the more overtly commercial, pre-industrial to industrial transformational fairy tales as Jack’s exchange for the bean is a clearly commercial transaction. She changes the bean in the story to corn as it’s one of those products that hovers between classes today—food for some, a cure for global warming for others to be used as biofuel, combating the destructive excess of the oil and gas industry. Wainio researched the original stories and illustrations she uses extensively, discovering that some of the earliest illustrations were hand-copied from one another, a process which speaks to another type of scarcity before printing presses easily mass produced stories. The copied images were in a sense ritualistic, an important part of handing down stories from generation to generation and part of the art form of storytelling itself lost in the consumer process of buying a book. Altogether, The Book presents an evocative look at the messages given to children in the stories, the pictures presented alongside, and the world children are being presented with where it would seem everything is disposable. Carol Wainio’s The Book, organized and circulated by Carleton University Art Gallery and curated by Diana Nemiroff will be at the Kelowna Art Gallery through March 17. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Sibling witch hunt gruesome
HANSEL AND GRETEL, WITCH HUNTERS
Once upon a time (well, last Sunday, actually), I took myself to see Hansel and Gretel, Witch Hunters in 3D. The film begins with a glimpse of the old story (remember the gingerbread house, with all the candy?—Right, that old story). Then we move ahead several years and the brother and sister duo have grown up to be witch hunters in an area of the world that seems downright rampant with witches. For the most part, the siblings believe that mom and dad abandoned them, but soon learn that more witches than they could ever imagine will be coming for a ceremony
BEHIND THE SCREEN

This is no fairy tale. The ensuing blood bath looks real and gets nasty and the 3D glasses bring the viewer right into the picture, although I’m not at all sure how these actors didn’t just laugh out loud at some of their lines—some were very corny.
The much hyped Jeremy Renner, of Hurt Locker and The Bourne Legacy, to name a few, was good as was Gemma Arterton as Gretel. Canadian Monique Ganderton played the candy witch, but it was pretty hard to figure out which witch was which as there were a plethora of them from ‘horned witch, red-headed witch, tall witch, fat and ugly witch (weren’t they all?). You get the drift—a lot of witches stealing kids, wreaking havoc, casting spells; however, I liked it. It’s not for everyone but it was relatively short and kind of funny.

ylvester Stallone is back into action this weekend with Bullet to the Head, but the movie that will likely upset Sly’s attempt to return to the top of the box office is what is best described as Zombieland meets Twilight. But before writing Warm Bodies off as a campy romantic comedy twist on the zombie genre, note that Twilight author Stephenie Meyer commented that author Isaac Marion’s novel created the most unexpected romantic lead she has ever encountered. Nicholas Hoult (About a Boy, the upcoming Jack the Giant Killer) stars as a zombie named R, an unusual victim of a zombie epidemic, who rescues Julie (Teresa Palmer) from a zombie attack. She sees that R is different from the others and they form a special relationship in their strug-

Featuring Rob Corddry (Hot Tub Time Machine), Dave Franco (James’ brother) and the great John Malkovich, this movie will not only appeal to the young crowd that made Twilight a smash, but also fans of Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead and maybe even fans of Shakespeare (there are several references to Romeo and Juliet, the most obvious being
the names R and Julie). Although Stallone is 66 years old he does not seem to be anywhere near retiring if the action in The Expendables and now Bullet to the Head is any indication. In his latest, he plays a hitman who teams with a young NYPD detective (Korean actor Sung Kang from Fast Five) brought together in New Orleans by the murders of the respective partners. Behind the camera are two Hollywood veterans—director Walter Hill (The Warriors, 48 Hours) and producer Joel Silver (Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Sherlock Holmes).

H
ere are two opportunities to make a statement while raising awareness about two causes: Anti-bullying among children and youth, and a health condition that is the number one killer of Canadian women. The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs are renewing their stand against bullying by marking Wednesday, Feb. 27 as this year’s Pink Shirt Day of the Central and South in the Okanagan. Okanagan / Similkameen You can join this national movement. Simply
purchase your new 2013 designed Pink T-shirt and wear it to work, school and out in the community to help raise awareness. All proceeds from T-shirts sales help support anti-bullying initiatives throughout the year within the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs. Last year
over 3,500 shirts were sold and worn in the Okanagan! To purchase your T-shirt (adult sizes are $8 and youth sizes are $6) contact 250-762-3989 ext. 107 or email: specialevents@boysandgirlsclubs.ca. •••
February is Heart Month and you can get involved in helping the Heart and Stroke Foundation fund lifesaving research, while having a little fun this winter.

You can volunteer your business to sell red paper hearts or host a healthy meal/bake
sale. Your company can sign up for a Feet on the Street day where your corporate team goes out into the community as a blitz team canvassing one specific neighbourhood together decked out in your corporate wear, badges, etc. The ideas are endless—design a fundraiser of your own in your own style that shows your support and gives your gift of time. Volunteers are the heart of this organization.

The most satisfying aspects of Wainio’s paintings are their complexity and their intelligence.

STATEMENT SUNGLASSES
Let’s take our mind off of the chilly weather and focus all of our energy on some sunshine! And flowers! And clothes that aren’t flannel or wool! I can see it already, 15 degree weather, clear blue skies and birds! I hear birds! What comes to your mind when you think of spring? Perhaps it’s the most joy you’ve felt and experienced since Christmas morning, opening up that juicer that you’ve wanted for years? (I guess it just wasn’t my year.) For me, it is garden party birthday celebrations with tea and oversized hats. Its pastel coloured clothes that turn my frown upside down. It’s the smell of freshly cut grass! Ahhhhhh. It’s reading a book outside with bare feet under the warm sun and crisp white fluffy clouds. All in all, it sounds like a freakin’ dream to me. But all we can do it wait! Because by then, it will FINALLY be time to put away those heavy winter boots and that bulky down jacket, and attempt all of those new spring trends that you’ve been waiting all winter to try. After all of my week’s research, I came up with a few trends to share that I think will be easy to find most importantly, as well as practical for Kelowna. First off are the classic bold stripes. Throughout the spring/summer 2013 runway shows, all of the top designers sent the models down in some serious stripes. Any color, just make it bold. Whether it’s a blazer as a second layer, pair it with a neon top underneath and a cuffed dark denim. Or even the perfect capri for those spring afternoons, add a flowy solid color blouse on top and a punch of color to your bang. This trend makes a great statement to wow the world! Spring=sun. sun=sunglasses! I find the greatest statement sunglasses at Blonde. Bright colors, animal print, big and small! All styles to suit you. It’s a great way to complete an outfit, and spice up it up a little bit. Bring a funky edge with you everywhere you go! Next up on my list, leather. Leather…leather… leather. Did I say leather? So I know I’ve repeated myself a few times, but if you were to step foot in a Zara store in Vancouver, you would understand where I am coming from. Leather cuffs, leather plants, leather jackets, shirts, shoulders, elbows, shoes, and bags! Everything you can think of, but made of leather. I can’t get enough of leather! Use it in moderation of course, but just do it. Nike. One magazine I love to pick up is Harpers Bazzar. There recent post of the spring trends made me chuckle a bit. “Bedroom eyes” was the title of one of their favorite trends this coming season. Get your mind out of the gutter you sicko! I’m talking lace here. Pretty, feminine and delicate lace, and not just undergarments this time. I love pairing a knee length lace dress with a mean black pump. Very 1950’s sophisticate. Next is my favorite trend that I will be hunting for. Short suits. You can dress it up or dress it down, much like the model on the right in my ‘top 5.’ She’s wearing a chambray suit with a simple white tee. You can even add a gold chain to finish it up. The thing I love about this trend is much like dressing it up and down, one isn’t limited to the style of shoes to wear with it. I would put a gladiator sandal in the summer for a trip to a patio party. Also a camel colored wedge for a birthday outing. So many options!

Hoops careers wind down for UBCO Heat trio Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For Roz Huber, it might as well have been yesterday that she stepped on the court for the first time as a member of the UBC Okanagan women’s basketball team. Five whirlwind seasons later, the Rutland Secondary grad is savouring her final weeks in a Heat uniform. Huber, along with fellow captains and fifth-year grads Madison Kaneda and Melissa Irish, will bid farewell to the program following the Heat’s final game of the Canada West season, Feb. 16 in Kelowna against Thompson Rivers. After three seasons in the BCCAA and two more in the CIS, Huber has nothing but positive thoughts about her time spent with the Heat program. “It was a great opportunity for me to be able to play at UBCO in my hometown, to develop for a couple of years and then to get a chance to play in CIS,” said Huber, 23, who will graduate this spring from the Human Kinetics program. “I look at all the connections I’ve made with the other girls, my teammates, with Coach Sem (Heather Semeniuk) and all the people around

Melissa Irish
the gym…I couldn’t be more grateful. I feel really fortunate to have been part of this team and program for five great years.” And it’s safe to say the feeling is mutual, as the 6-foot post player will undoubtedly be regarded as one of the finest players ever to wear blue and gold. Huber helped lead UBCO to a provincial gold medal in 2010, then a silver medal a year later. In 2011, she was named a BCCAA all-star. In 2011-12, the team’s historic first season in Canada West, Huber cracked the top 10 in conference scoring, averaging more than 13 points per game. On top of it all, Huber is on the verge of becoming the UBCO program’s all-time leading scorer. She is just 16 points shy of Jenna Kantz’s career mark of 862 points. Head coach Heather Semeniuk, who has
watched her development from Day 1, is full of praise for Huber’s contributions to the program, both on and off the hardwood. “Roz’s work ethic has always been outstanding, she lives a healthy lifestyle, and is always in such great shape,” said Semeniuk. “She’s also an outstanding leader, caring and compassionate, and is totally unselfish…she always puts others first. “Roz been wonderful player for us,” added Semeniuk, “and she’s a great ambassador for our program and the game. We’re really going to miss her.” From Huber’s perspective, being part of establishing a viable and competitive Canada West women’s basketball program in Kelowna has been a particularly satisfying experience. “You maybe don’t realize how special it is
DALE ABBEY/HEAT ATHLETICS
KELOWNA PRODUCT Roz Huber is one of three fifth-year players who will graduate from the UBC Okanagan women’s basketball program at the end of the Canada West season. and what you’ve been part of helping to build until it’s almost over,” said Huber, who plans to be a personal trainer after she graduates. “We weren’t really supposed to win any games our first couple of years (in Canada West), so I’m really proud of the way we’ve competed. The program continues to make big steps and it’s nice to know I’ve been part of that from the beginning.”
Like Huber, both Kaneda and Irish have been key contributors in UBCO’s evolution into a competitive CIS program. Kaneda, a Vernon product, has been key piece of the Heat’s Canada West transition, averaging better than 10 points per game over the last two years. “Madison is a warrior, she’s a kid who will go through a wall, she competes hard and plays
with passion and desire,” Semeniuk said. “It will be a hard end for her, hard to see her go. She’s been such a big part of our program from her first year.” As for Irish, the 5-foot4 guard has battled both ACL surgery and a size disadvantage to remain a valuable and reliable member of the Heat program. “Melissa is another wonderful personality,” Semeniuk said. “She’s a
hardworking kid who just keeps coming back, keeps plowing ahead and no matter it takes, she comes out on the other end with a smile on her face. She has ▼ a great court presence and sets a great example for our younger players.” The Heat (5-12) returns to action Friday night when they host the University of Fraser Valley. Tip off at UBCO is 6 p.m.

Record humbling for Cooke
STAFF REPORTER
His name stands alone beside the franchise record for consecutive wins by a Kelowna Rockets’ goaltender, but Jordon Cooke has 23 other players he feels compelled to share it with. The 19-year-old Leduc, Alta. native saw his WHL winning streak end at 20 games Monday night in Kamloops with a 6-5 overtime loss to the Blazers. Cooke’s run of prosperity between the pipes this season is twice as long as Kelly Guard’s best, as the former Rockets’ star stopper won 10 straight games four times between 2002 and 2004. Both thrilled and humbled by the record, Cooke is quick to redirect the accolades onto his teammates. “Obviously it’s a huge honour to be part of Rockets history and it’s pretty
in their own buildings. In its last 16 games overall, Kelowna is 140-2, and has lost just four times since Nov. 23 in taking over the B.C. Division lead. In all his years of hockey, Cooke has never been more impressed with the group of players in front of him and is, not surprisingly, thoroughly enjoying the ride. “We know exactly what we have to do and how we have to play to be successful,” said Cooke, who is 27-8-3 this season. “We’re confident, but not cocky. Everyday we come to the rink, it’s a good day. The guys like being there and they’re having fun. That’s the way it is when you’re winning. Hopefully we can keep this going and take it right through the playoffs.” The Rockets (37-10-31) and Royals (27-17-1-3) face off Thursday at 7:05 p.m. at Prospera Place. The Rockets will then play a home-and-home set with the Giants this weekend—Friday in Vancouver and Saturday back in Kelowna.

Tanner Campbell led the attack with two goals and three assists, while linemate Braeden Cyra had three goals and an assist.

special to have a record where so many great players have played…but I couldn’t have done it with my teammates,” said Cooke, the WHL’s goaltender of the month for December. “Every single night the guys played hard for me and have made a lot of nights easier for me. I’ve been able to just do my thing in goal this year, and the guys have taken care of the rest. You don’t have streaks like that unless the whole team is contributing, and that’s how it’s been this year.” Cooke admits he’s had one of the best seats in the house while watching his team rip up the Western Hockey League this season. On Thursday night, the Rockets will look to extend their team-record home-ice winning streak to 22 games when they host the Victoria Royals. A win would move the Rockets into a third-place tie all-time with the Medicine Hat Tigers for consecutive home-ice victories. Only the 1993-94 Kamloops Blazers (29) and 1992-93 Tacoma Rockets (24) have had more productive stretches

COONEY, JOSEPH JAMES RONALD (RON) It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we must say goodbye to an amazing husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. Ron was a loving, kind man who never had a harsh word for anyone. He was a gentle man of few words, but brought great joy to the whole family. Ron was born on July 9, 1929 in Portage la Foret, Quebec and passed away peacefully in Kelowna, BC on January 27, 2013 at the age of 83 years. Ron is survived by his loving wife, Alice Cooney of 58 years; his five children: Rod, Deb, Mike (Carolyn), Al (Marlys) and Sandy (Gerry); his many grandchildren: Steven (Adele), Tymara (Johnny), Kyla (Marc), Tyler-Lee (Alison), Lindsey (Mike), Ashley (Brandon), Carly (Brendan) and Reggie; as well as his four great grandchildren: Shawn, Austin, Taylor and Karrington. Ron was sadly predeceased by two grandchildren: Shawn Williams and Geordie Sutherland. Ron will be cremated and a celebration of his life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior, 399 Royal Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5L3. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
MILLER, PHYLLIS ELIZABETH Born December 8, 1927, in Cudworth, Saskatchewan, Passed away at the Kelowna General Hospital on Sunday, January 27, 2013, at the age of 85.

Phyllis leaves behind her sons Keith (Donna) Miller of Salmon Arm, and Ron Miller (Jann Cogswell) of Vancouver. Her grandchildren, Les (Sarah) Miller of Coquitlam and Rebecca Miller of Kamloops. Phyllis also leaves behind her sisters Lucille Hunter of New Westminster and Rosemarie Morgan of Toronto and several nieces and nephews. Phyllis worked for over 25 years as a nurse’s aide and then a physiotherapist’s aide in the lower mainland and retired to Westbank with Les in the early 70’s. From there they moved into Kelowna. For the last few years they resided at Sandalwood Retirement Resort in Kelowna where they made many new friends and enjoyed life. A memorial service will be held on Friday, February 1, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. Interment will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, 2268 Pandosy Street, Kelowna, BC. V1Y 1T2.

Mayor concerned with Hydro’s broken promise on smart meters Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The District of Peachland is taking issue with the installation of smart meters on the homes of residents’ who do not wish to have them. Council made the decision to write its concerns to BC Hydro last Tuesday after receiving a petition with over 450 signatures— just under 10 per cent of the population—opposed to the installation of smart meters on their property. Some of those individuals told council they’ve already had smart meters installed against their will. “We decided we would write to BC Hydro, pointing out that they had promised that smart meters wouldn’t be installed over a homeowner’s objections until there had been full and satisfactory dialogue,” said Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding. “We have written the letter saying we expect them to live up to that promise.” The letter dated Jan. 29 states— based on information received from BC Hydro representatives at the Southern Interior Local Government Association, the Union

▼ KILLENEY BEACH
RDCO water system aided by capacity upgrade Customers of the Regional District of Central Okanagan’s Killiney Beach water system, located off Westside Road, have a brand new reservoir which adds 300,000-litres of water storage to the existing 76,000-litre reservoir. As well, the more than $580,000 project saw more than 300 metres of new water mains installed and minor improvements made to the system’s remote on-line monitoring and control system (SCADA) which helps to reduce staff travel time and greenhouse gas emissions. “The B.C. government recognizes it can be challenging for local governments to cover the cost of important infrastructure projects in their community,” said Ben Stewart, Westside-Kelowna MLA. “This grant will support upgrades to Killiney Beach’s water system to significantly increase its water capacity. This project will provide great-
er operational efficiency and a higher water quality—all of which is essential to the ongoing health and well-being of British Columbians in the Central Okanagan region.” The regional district received a $400,000 grant from the Provincial Towns for Tomorrow program to offset the cost of the capacity building project. RDCO board chair Robert Hobson said: “The expansion of the Udell Reservoir and new water main construction will solve a number of nagging issues for customers of the Killiney Beach system.” The provincial grant, along with contributions from water system customers allowed the project to proceed without incurring any long-term debt. The regional district now operates and maintains five other water systems—in the Sunset Ranch, Westshores, Killiney Beach, Falcon Ridge and Trepanier areas.

WESTSIDE ▼ ACCIDENT CLAIMS
Drivers encouraged to take responsibility for their actions
I
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott movie; I think it was Rocket Man. There is a scene with two astronauts floating in their space suits in space. There is a tube connecting the two suits. You
hear one of them fart, and watch as a bubble of fart air moves from his end of the tube to the other. The “innocent” astronaut starts gasping for air when the fart bubble makes it into his space suit. The culprit says, “It wasn’t me.” Denial is commonplace in the criminal justice system. You are innocent until proven guilty. Standard protocol is to plead “not guilty” and sit back to see if the Crown
can prove the case. In the criminal justice system, guilt comes with very real, and potentially very serious, consequences. Perhaps it’s a fear of criminal prosecution that leads some obviously “at fault” drivers to deny responsibility. The irony is that criminal prosecution is rarely a risk and “at fault” drivers are sitting in a fluffy, protective blanket of insurance protection.

catches you blowing the stop sign without causing a crash. It’s only in cases of extreme recklessness and impaired driving scenarios when criminal charges can arise. Perhaps it’s a fear of having to take financial responsibility that results in some drivers denying their obvious fault. Financial responsibility doesn’t play into it either, though. This is where the fluffy, protective blanket comes in. It doesn’t matter if you were texting the moment of the crash, reaching down to pick something up from the floor, or daydreaming. Your liability insurance company will take care of everything. In fact, when innocent victims bring lawsuits to pursue fair compensation for their injuries and losses, the grand total “inconvenience” to the negligent driver is usually limited to dropping the legal papers off at the insurance company offices. Sometimes, if fair compensation isn’t offered by the time a trial is looming, I find myself examining negligent drivers in a type of hearing called an Examination for Discovery. That would be the second “inconvenience” they face, and the event doesn’t usually last more than an hour. Even then, with an insurance company paid-for lawyer looking after everything, and no risk of any personal consequences, I sometimes find negligent drivers very reluctant to take responsibility. One fellow, who had smashed into the back of a vehicle, causing that ve-
hicle to smash into the back of my client’s vehicle, insisted on minimizing the seriousness of the crash. His evidence was that he was just about stopped before impact, and insisted on referring to the impact as a “bump.” That was one heck of a “bump” that gently caused one stopped vehicle to be propelled forward into the back of another, causing the occupants to suffer permanent injuries. Of course, I am talking about the bad apples; the majority of people immediately admit their fault and are extremely apologetic at the scene. Most people I examine for discovery are forthright and honest about what occurred. It’s the bad apples, though, who can get in the way of fair compensation for innocent victims. Many times, there are no independent witnesses. What is a court to do if one driver says one thing, and the other driver says the opposite? There is a very real risk that an innocent victim will be further victimized. Please, take responsibility for your actions. Don’t be a “fart bubble spaceman.” It’s not like taking responsibility means accepting consequences, anyway. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection January 2013 ■ GLOBAL SERVICE CLUB
Ethical threads fashion show By Brianne Moore The Global Service Club at Mount Boucherie is gearing up for a new event this February. With the decision to retire the event Arts for Ecuador, Ethical Threads will instead take its place. The fashion show will be held February 28, showcasing talent from within the school, and fashion items which have been donated. The idea is that it will be a recycled fashion show. Being so, we are asking for donations of clothes along with accessories that are gently used or unwanted. All profits from the event will contribute to the schooling of
former child soldiers and literacy projects in Uganda. Hosted at the school, members of the community are invited to attend, as well as being a part of donating to the collection of clothes, prior to the event. All clothing items will be priced under the amount $10. Admission for the event is the donation of pennies, as along with the upcoming fashion show, the Global Service Club is continuing to collect pennies for water projects in Africa. Ethical Threads will be held on February 28 at 7 p.m. With your help and donations, our hope is to make the night a huge success.
The spirit of dance
By Shannon Evans The pressure is off for the Grade 10 semester dance class at MBSS. Up until now there had been injuries, high stress levels, and nerves going through the roof. Every second day for three hours these girls would have dance. About an hour of that went towards learning three different dances for their semester end performance. The first dance being a jazz number to the song “Sail” by Awolnation. The other two being hip hop dances. One to “I’m In The House,” by Steve Aoki, and the last being “Resolve” by Nathan Lanier. Learning these dances took time, a lot of effort, and much patience from Shawna Geistlinger, the dance teacher. Being part of that class, I have to say that I’m slightly tired of all the songs. Having the songs be replayed over and over can really change
Helping the homeless on both sides of the bridge
your view on them. However, I am proud to say that on Wednesday the 23, I had finally felt like a dancer, for that was the night of our performance also known as “Dance 101”. Performing a dance in front of people, when you have never taken dance lessons before can make you feel powerful. You are able to show that you can in fact dance, and entertain those in the audience. Over 100 people came to show their support for the dancers, whether they were friends or family. Not only did they see these girls dance, but they also enjoyed a piece by Terron Lloyd who danced to Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” as well as a piece by Nicole Clark who danced to “Turning Pages” by Sleeping at Last. Overall it was a wonderful show, many people have said great things, and I’m sure it was a great experience for all of the dancers.
MBSS STUDENTS display the “Street Survival Packs” that we given out to homeless in the Kelowna area in December.
By Evie Mansell The facts on homelessness in Kelowna say that there are 300 homeless people living here, but what they do not state, is that there are about 1,500 hidden homeless. The Metro Community has been helping Kelowna’s lost and homeless for years. This winter The Metro Community launched the “Street Survival Pack”. These backpacks contain essential items and basic supplies to help the homeless of Kelowna get back on their feet, like, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sleeping bags, water bottles, and socks. Each back pack cost around $45 to assemble.
A group of students went on a homeless walk with The Metro Community in December. Kirsten Larson, a grade 11 student, said, “I had no idea what the homeless situation was like here in Kelowna. It was really an eye opening experience for me; I got to talk to some of the people that go to The Metro, and hear their stories.” Mount Boucherie decided to support this campaign initiated during the holiday season by buying all the components to fill 10 backpacks. Students decided to support the cause closer to home by making them available to homeless youth in West Kelowna
through the Boys & Girls’s Club in the downtown area. People may not be aware of how many homeless youth there are in West Kelowna and how they do not have access to much. Brianne Moore bought all the items for the backpacks and sleeping bags, and Allison Brown, a grade 11 student with help from Evie Mansell, assembled them. Brown said, “Assembling the components of the Youth Homeless Backpacks has broadened my understanding of the necessities they require. I am so happy to be able to assist my fellow peers who need help.”
Making change with a penny drive Performance art with MBSS dance class students during the semester-end show titled “Dance 101.”
By Allison Brown Canada’s penny is about to become a part of coinage history. The abolishment date of the cent is fast approaching and students at Mount Boucherie Secondary are investing their time in a penny drive. Free the Children, an international charity that empowers youth and encourages global service, is hosting the campaign called, ‘We Create Change’. Members of the Global Service Club who attended We Day, Free the Children’s leadership conference in the fall, immediately began their plans for their own penny drive. All the proceeds from the campaign will be deposited at participating Royal Banks of Canada and go to support water systems in developing countries. It only takes 2,500 pennies to supply one person water for their entire life. Members of the Global Service Club launched their campaign January 9. Miniature water jugs were distributed to each classroom with the
intention that students would drop their pennies in them. Thus far, the collection has been a success and grade 11 student Evelyn Mansell has high hopes for the remainder, “I am excited to see the results of the campaign; I have a feeling that we can raise enough money to positively impact the lives of many.” Mansell, who will be funding her own mission trip to India this summer, hopes to see the results first hand. In support of the campaign, a penny jewelry line has been created by Boojangles, a jewelry company within the school, where all pieces are made by students and the proceeds are given to charitable causes. They have created ‘Penny Swag’, a great memento of the penny which is being sold at the Boojangles store as well as the Global Village Store. Donations are being accepted in the school office and select businesses in the community. All donations are accepted, so please give today and create change.
