Three arrested for Bacon murder in 2011

Mayor bristles at media slam of his city

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Three men have been arrested for the murder of Red Scorpion gang leader Jonathan Bacon, who was gunned down in the summer of 2011 while sitting in an SUV at the entrance of the Delta Grand Hotel. Charged with first degree murder are Jujhar Singh Khun-Khun, 25, of Surrey, Michael Kerry Hunter Jones, 25, of Gibsons, and Jason Thompson McBride, 37, of North Vancouver, the RCMP’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit revealed Monday. Announced in a press conference shortly before the weekly Kelowna city council meeting—during which Mayor Walter Gray was quick to point out the case is more a provincial concern than a local one—the news came as a relief to those who were downtown on Sunday, Aug. 14, 2011 as three gunmen sprayed the SUV, hotel and surrounding buildings with bullets. “I think, like any member of the community, we’re relieved,” said Kelowna Art Gallery executive director Nataley Nagy. Her staff proved the embodiment of grace under pressure when a

bullet pierce the gallery’s front window during the middle of Family Sunday programming. The group would receive a letter of thanks from then-mayor Sharon Shepherd for quickly evacuating the room where the bullet hit, corralling patrons to the back of the facility and locking them in a safe room. Nagy remembers the utter confusion of the aftermath, not knowing if it was safe to release people back out into the open as police descended on the scene. Thankfully, The Color Room hair salon, located directly beside where the SUV had stopped, was closed that day as another stray bullet landed in its bathroom. But several members of Bacon’s group were not so lucky, landing directly in harm’s way. The trio arrested on Friday were thus also charged for the attempted murders of Hells Angel Larry Amero, now jailed in Montreal, and Independent Soldier James Riach, who has taken cover in the months since, as they were seated in the SUV with Bacon. Two young women, Leah Hadden-Watts and

Kelowna’s mayor has lashed out at the Vancouver Province newspaper, accusing it of “lazy” reporting in a four-page spread that appeared on the weekend characterizing his city as a centre of violent crime in B.C. and a place plagued by poor development planning. “This was a slaughter. My God, it was four pages long, embellished with photographs,” said Walter Gray when asked about the article following Monday’s city council meeting. “Clearly the article had been written before (a Province reporter) talked to me,” he added. He noted the reporter who interviewed him was not the same one whose byline appeared on the story, and said his comments would be handed to an editor to use with the story. The mayor said the Walter Gray article, which he described as “brutal,” ignored many of good things the city has done in terms of both policing here and development, including having more kilometres of bike path per capita than any other city in Canada. Instead, it focused on a recent double murder that took place in West Kelowna, the August 2011 gangland-style shooting outside the Delta Grand Hotel that claimed the life of Vancouver gang leader Jonathan Bacon and what the newspaper called “the disjointed ugly patchwork of parking lots and strip malls.” Just as council was preparing to meet Monday afternoon, the RCMP in the Lower Mainland suburb of Delta announced three men—all from the Lower Mainland and all believed to have gang connections—were arrested Friday and have been charged in the Bacon shooting, which also injured three other people, two other Lower Mainland gang members and the niece of a Lower Mainland Hells Angel.

▼ COURT

Sentencing for fire starter deliberated Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR

A short amateur video showing the moment a passed out man wakes up as flames crawl up his back was shown in court Monday as lawyers argued how long the fire starter will go to jail. The cell phone video leaves no dispute that Mathew Sweet-Grant set his friend on fire, but the degree of culpability for his actions is up for debate, with the Crown calling the act intentional and the defence describing it as a prank gone horribly wrong. On Dec. 8, 2012, Tyler Weir was passed out on the floor of an apartment at Vecchio’s Corner, located at the corner of Highway 97 and Highway 33, when Mathew Sweet-

Grant, who was also drunk, poured Aqua Velva on the prone man and then set him on fire. Weir left the unit after the fire started, but was brought back by a neighbour. He promptly fell asleep and when he awoke at 10 a.m., went home and slept some more, the court heard. It wasn’t until afternoon that his injuries— second and third degree burns to 90 per cent of his back—were discovered and began to be treated. “My nerves in my back were completely gone so I didn’t feel it till I seen it,” Weir wrote in a victim impact statement that was read in court. He was hospitalized for 51 days and said the pain is more “than any man should have to go through.”

As a result of his injuries, he can’t do the things he loves, like long boarding, mixed martial arts and swimming, he wrote. Sweet-Grant, in reports provided to the court for sentencing, describes the burning as a “joke gone bad” and said he didn’t intend to hurt anyone. “This just demonstrates a lack of understanding on Mr. SweetGrant’s part how dangerous fire is,” argued Crown counsel David Grabavac. The court heard that Sweet-Grant had in the past seen and participated in similar fire-starting activities, sparked by images he saw on TV, but no one was injured. Those past actions “inculcated a level of complacency,” argued defence lawyer West Munson.

When Sweet-Grant lit Weir, who was wearing a hoodie that absorbed the accelerant, “he never imagined the harm that would come.” “He values his friendship with Tyler and didn’t intend to hurt him,” said Munson. Munson added that Sweet-Grant accepted responsibility “from the get-go,” pleading guilty just days after being charged with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. Sweet-Grant, he noted, had a troubled childhood, living with his drug addicted mother in extreme poverty. At times, he lived on the street and at the age of 14, suffered strokes that left him with frontal lobe damage. However, the Crown argued the judge’s focus

should be on SweetGrant’s recent actions, not his past. “He intended to light him on fire,” said Grabavac. Crown suggested a six to eight year sentence for the aggravated assault and a two to three year sentence, running concurrently, for the assault with a weapon offence. Munson called the suggested sentence “an extreme case of overkill” and instead suggested three to six months in jail, plus probation. A weapons prohibition and a ban on possessing incendiary devices has also been proposed. Judge Anne Wallace is expected to deliver a sentence for Sweet-Grant today, Feb. 26.

Sidewalk patio plan outlined for downtown Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The Bernard Avenue revitalization project could spawn a sea of sidewalk patios along the city’s main downtown street. City Hall is developing a plan to encourage pubs and restaurants on Bernard to invest in pat-

ios outside their businesses in return for not having to pay any fees for the first two years and then only 50 per cent of the fee in the third year. After that, an appraiser would be hired to figure out how much they should pay per year from then on. Businesses closer to the lake-

shore would pay the full fee while businesses farther from the water would pay a lower rate. Currently, the city allows just one patio per block but once the revitalization work is complete, the sidewalks will be wider from Richter Street to the Sails and as many as six or seven patios per block could be accommodated.

Mayor Walter Gray, who said he likes the idea but wants it to go a little farther, suggested business owners who invest more should get a bigger break than those who invest less. The plan, developed with the help of the Downtown Kelowna Association, has been deferred pending more consultation.

▼ PUBLIC SCREENING

Impact of pesticide use examined Local residents are invited to a community film screening and discussion to learn more about how non-essential pesticides can affect our health and environment, and what effective natural alternatives are available. The meeting, hosted by the B.C./Yukon branch of the Canadian Cancer Society, in partnership with the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, includes a free film screening of the documentary A Chemical Reaction followed by a community conversation on the use of pesticides in the southern Interior. The event is taking place at UBC Okanagan on March 5, 7 p.m., and will feature guest speaker Paul Tukey, creator of SafeLawns. org, author of Organic Lawn Care Manual, and executive producer of the award-winning documentary. “We are thrilled to have a speaker of this calibre in our community,” said Jerilynn Maki, health promotion coordinator for the B.C./Yukon branch of the Canadian Cancer Society.

“Paul has been called the ‘godfather of the natural lawn care movement,’ and is known for turning the subject of lawn care into a rousing public discourse. “We look forward to hearing his thoughts on pesticide use in B.C.’s Southern Interior.” The cosmetic use of pesticides is a public health issue, particularly for children. According to the cancer society, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests a connection between pesticides and various cancers, such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, prostate, kidney and lung cancers as well as childhood leukemia. Because the cosmetic use of pesticides, which are used to enhance the appearance of gardens and lawns, are not necessary and may cause harm to human health, the society and CAPE encourage everyone to learn about the importance of eliminating their exposure to cosmetic pesticides where possible. “With spring approaching and

lawn care on all of our radars, Paul will bring his expertise about how we can learn to make the transition to healthy, pesticide-free lawns and gardens in the Southern Interior,” said Maki. “We encourage the public to join us and bring their lawn and garden questions.” The documentary, A Chemical Reaction, tells the story of a powerful community initiative in Hudson, Que., which eventually resulted in Canada’s first bylaw to ban the use of all chemical pesticides and herbicides. The bylaw led to a groundswell of communities and provinces taking action to reduce their use of cosmetic pesticides. The City of Kelowna is one municipality that has adopted a bylaw limiting the use of cosmetic pesticides. The community event is taking place in the Arts and Science building’s Lecture Theatre Room 130. While admission is free, donations will be gratefully accepted.

The facts lacking in newspaper article Mayor from A1 Gray said the arrests of people from outside the community showed the Bacon shooting was a story about crime in B.C., not crime in Kelowna, despite the fact it took place here. As for The Province article, Gray was particularly incensed it provided no statistics to back up claims that people here are frightened of what it called “visible violent criminals.” “I was disappointed in The Province article because it lacked any sort of proof and was void of any statistics,” said the mayor. He said the criticisms of planning here failed to take into account that 44 per cent of land in the city is in the Agricultural Land Reserve and is thus protected from development. He added that some of the development singled out for criticism happened outside of the city before Kelowna expanded beyond the area around the Capri Hotel in the mid-1970s. As for complaints about development on the Westside, the mayor noted much of the “big box” store development and strip malls slammed by the article are located on Westbank First Nation land and are not subject to the same development rules that exist if they were on land under municipal jurisdiction. The mayor, who admitted the article angered him, said he plans to respond to The Province in a letter. awaters@kelowncapnews.com

lost control of her vehicle in snowy and cold conditions, plummeted into Wood Lake and quickly submerged. Lake Country RCMP Sgt. Scott Rempel said several individuals put their own lives at risk in trying to save the woman, including a 30-year-old woman banker who was first on the scene. “This woman dove into the water and went to the bottom of the lake at least four times to try and save the woman,” Rempel told Lake Country council during a report on crime stats for Lake Country in 2012. “I just find it incredible that random people traveling on the highway in those same conditions all attempted to rescue this

woman.” Among the seven to 10 residents who ended up entering the frigid waters of Wood Lake were a 60-year-old man from Salmon Arm, a 40-yearold from Kelowna, a female truck driver, two police officers and the deputy fire chief from Lake Country. Rempel said he will be forwarding his report on the accident and a recommendation for bravery and heroism awards through RCMP channels and eventually to the Governor General and the Royal Canadian Humane Association. “This was a random group of people that came together moments before the official responders could get there,” said

Rempel. “They went above and beyond and risked their own lives in trying to save this woman. It was amazing.” After four trips to the bottom of the lake, the first woman on scene was finally able to break the window, but she could not remove the submerged victim. A chain was eventually fastened to the vehicle and it was moved towards the shore, but not in time to save the woman’s life. Rempel said the actions of the folks trying to save a life need to be recognized. “It certainly restores my faith in humanity and is really touching,” he said. The process to be

RCMP investigation leads to arrest of three suspects Murder from A1 Lyndsey Black, were also in the white Porsche Cayenne and Hadden-Watts, the niece of a prominent Hells Angel, is now a quadriplegic, Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit Chief Superintendent Dan Malo said. A fourth man was apparently also involved in

the attacks, though he is already dead and was not named in the press conference. “This violent incident rocked the city of Kelowna in an act so brazen that it might have been mistaken for a bad action movie,” Malo said during the press conference. The arrests were part of an 18-month investi-

gation called E-Nitrogen, and were made after 100 officers in Vancouver, Kelowna and Toronto executed simultaneous search warrants. Khun-Khun, 25, who has survived three targeted shootings believed to be in retaliation for Bacon’s death, was arrested at his residence in Surrey, while Jones, 25,

All three have been remanded in custody and were to appeared in a Surrey courtroom Monday, though only Khun Khun’s appearance, put off until March 8, could be confirmed at press time. The Bacon hit is thought to be just one small part of retaliation for the death of gangster Gurmit Dhak, head of the prominent Indo-Canadian gang known as the Dhak Group. He was gunned down in a parking lot of Burnaby’s Metrotown shopping centre in October of 2010. Upwards of 20 shootings have been linked to the incident, the Vancouver Sun has reported.

He died in a shooting in the lobby of the Excecutive Inn Hotel and Conference Centre in Burnaby in November of 2012 along with his bodyguard Thomas Mantel. Amero, Riach and Bacon were meeting as part of the newly formed gang-alliance known as the Wolf Pack when they were killed. Malo commended the people of Kelowna for their selfless bravery in performing first aide on the day of the shooting, and for their good citizenship in providing RCMP with tips and information in the months since. He noted the intense scrutiny the RCMP has faced in the aftermath was warranted, if difficult, and said the arrests simply weren’t going to happen overnight. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Gaming grants handed out by MLAs When gamblers here make a wager, they may not know it but they are betting on the community. The provincial government has turned over $593,650 in community gaming grants to 17 Central Okanagan community organizations. The fund come from the profits made through gambling in B.C. Local MLAs Steve Thomson, Norm Letnick and Ben Stewart joined members of the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club—the organization that received the largest grant at $225,000—in announcing the grant approvals last week.

WE HAVE MOVED!!!

Okanagan fruit growers say the new provincial budget presents little improvement for the tree fruit industry. Industry competitiveness studies and the B.C. Fruit Growers Association have concluded that the tree fruit industry needs an ongoing replant program and assistance with environmental improvements on farms. “We were hoping to get a positive future direction on these programs, but the budget contained no strategic, competitive help for tree fruit growers,” said Jeet Dukhia, president of the BCFGA. Replacing old trees and varieties with new varieties and high-density plantings will increase productivity and marketability of tree fruit, but costs growers about $30,000 per acre. The current program contributes up to $7,000 per acre for the renewal of orchards. “We need continuity of replant in our industry. When we plan, orchardists look forward 15 or 20 years. The disruption of not having a long-term replant program is harming our industry,” said Dukhia. The replant program is currently funded for two years, but was disrupted in 2012 when no program was offered. Environment programs, such as integrated pest management, deer fencing and septic systems for worker sanitary facilities have been proposed by the BCFGA. “Our program proposals are similar

to, but at a much lower level of cost, than those provided in Washington State, our main competitor. We proposed the programs with the expectation that the government was interested in protecting and enhancing the environment and helping us to meet the competition. We were disappointed,” said Dukhia. He noted that B.C.’s agriculture budget is the lowest among all of Canada’s provinces. Two items in the budget corrected errors in existing programs: 1. The carbon tax on purple, or marked, fuel used on farms is eliminated, such that the fuel for tractors and farm vehicles is not put at a disadvantage when compared to imported food. “The government needed to fix this error in order to stop giving an advantage to imported produce and having the perverse effect of increasing carbon emissions due to increased transportation of fruits and vegetables,” said Dukhia. 2. Property purchase tax for farms was not charged for transfers to family members when the owner was alive. The change corrects an error that taxed the transfer of the farm property if the owner was dead. Dukhia classed the error correction as “important to get it right, but not a significant industry issue.” The BCFGA represents 550 family-operated farms and advocates for the $300 million in annual economic activity which the industry generates annually.

Former Westside ferry wharf snack shop fondly remembered

bridge was finished. That picture really starts the old memories flowing! Thanks for sharing it with me!” Prior to the opening of the first floating bridge in 1958, the Okanagan Lake ferries were just part and parcel of our everyday lives. Trips to the coast and even just to visit friends on the Westside were tied to the ferry schedule just as they are today for folk living on the Sunshine Coast or Vancouver Island. Once the bridge was a reality, the population of the Central Okanagan took a surge in numbers just as it did in 1949 when the Hope-Princeton Highway was completed. There were two other events that did the same thing—the Rodgers Pass in 1962 and the Okanagan Connector in the late 1980s. ••• Another fabulous excursion to the North West Flower and Garden Show in Seattle has been completed and as usual we had a wonderful time. The tour bus from Kelowna was packed with gardeners and non-gardeners alike.

Hotel/motel association ORL ready to face new challenges elects new board of directors

The new president of the Kelowna Hotel Motel Association is Daniel Bibby, manager of the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort. Bibby was elected president at the association’s annual general meeting earlier this month. Joining Bibby on the association board are past president Rosemary Patterson, Best Western PLUS Kelowna Hotel & Suites; treasurer, Heather Schaub, Casa Loma Resort; secretary, Kelly Watt, Sandman Hotel & Suites Kelowna; and directors Glen Standen, Okanagan Seasons Resort, Don Culic, Holiday Park Resort, Carla Carlson, Comfort Suites Kelowna, Edan Fay, Lake Okanagan Resort, and Ben Hechter, Super 8. The KHMA will continue its role in 2013 as liaison to facilitate, develop and support the business initiatives affecting the accommodation sector of business in Kelowna through the relationships with the City of Kelowna, Tourism Kelow-

na, Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association and other organizations, associations, and institutions that impact the hotel/motel industry. In 2011 an initiative to provide educational support through a KHMA bursary program to help subsidize and encourage students enrolled in the hospitality program at Okanagan College was created by the association. The implementation, vetting and awarding of this bursary will be an annual responsibility of the board. The KHMA board will also continue efforts to support, build and integrate the accommodation sector as an integral segment of the business community and a significant employer of Kelowna residents. As this year marks the renewal year of the agreement between Kelowna accommodators and Tourism Kelowna that provides for properties to collect a two per cent fee in order to subsidize tourism marketing efforts, the KHMA board will be reviewing that initiative as well.

At the Feb. 20 meeting of the Okanagan Regional Library Board, the new executive was appointed for 2013. It will be comprised of chair Carol Zanon, West Kelowna councillor; vice-chair Jim Edgson, Regional District of Central Okanagan area director; finance committee chair Catherine Lord, Vernon councillor; personnel committee chair Marilyn Harkness, Princeton councillor; policy and planning committee chair Maria Besso, Coldstream councillor. “I look forward to an exciting and productive year ahead for the ORL and its board, as we welcome Stephanie Hall, our new CEO,” said Zanon. “In the past year, we

Carol Zanon opened a new library in Vernon, enlarged and re-

furbished a library in West Kelowna and settled a major labor dispute. “There will be new challenges in the year ahead as the library continues to evolve and adapt to meet the changing needs of our society,” Zanon said. Other new members joining the ORL board are Karla Kozakevich, director for Okanagan Similkameen Regional District; Larry Morgan, director

for Columbia Shuswap Regional District;, Christopher Derickson, councillor for Westbank First Nation; and Joseph Pierre, councillor for Penticton Indian Band.

RCMP send a message to gangs

ive the RCMP their due—many Kelowna residents probably felt the investigation into the murder of Red Scorpion gang leader Jonathan Bacon on a Sunday summer afternoon in August 2011 at the entrance to the Delta Grand would never be solved. That perception was altered yesterday with the announcement of the arrests of three people from Surrey, North Vancouver and Gibsons on charges of first degree murder and attempted murder of four others

who were all in the Porsche Cayenne when it was ripped apart by bullets fired by masked gunmen. The police described the gang hit as brazen. Others in the vicinity said it looked like something out of a television episode or movie. But perhaps most of all it could be described as lucky, since bullets flying in every direction hit the nearby Kelowna Art Gallery, The Colour Room hair salon and the hotel itself, yet nobody beyond the intended targets were injured.

Police said Monday the arrests were the culmination of 18 months of police work that had up to 80 investigators on the case at any given time. While it is not uncommon for such gang hits to be done without arrests, it is also characteristic of police to turn up the heat when gangland shootings put the public directly in harm’s way. The murder of Bacon was done in a very public place, placing the lives of those walking in the area that Sunday after-

noon at risk. If we lived in the U.S., the NRA folks would say wouldn’t it have been better to have people armed and ready to confront the gangsters at that moment of shooting. No it would not, so be thankful we live in Canada. We should prefer to let the police do their investigation, and as was the case Monday, let the arrests that resulted send a louder message—such violent behaviour isn’t acceptable in our community.

The Vancouver Province ran the Based on the number of reported unflattering portrait of Kelowna last shootings—of people both identiweekend in light of the recent deaths

of a man and woman in West Kelowna. The man, Jeremy Daniel Snow, spent time in a U.S. jail for flying drugs across the border in 2009. The deaths were tragic—especially considering it appears the other person killed, 30-year-old Tiffany Goruk, a mother of two who was dating Snow, had no connection to the crime world and may have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. There’s no doubt Kelowna and the surrounding area has its share of crime—as does any other city in the country. It has also had some high profile cases, such as the brazen August 2011 daytime shooting of Lower Mainland gangster Jonathan Bacon or

the murder of Mindy Tran in 1994. The Bacon shooting was described by the Province as a “wake-up call” for the city. But what wasn’t included was the fact that Bacon, and the two gang-member buddies he was with, were visiting at the time. That shooting wasn’t a home-made crime. Too often we hear that crime in the Central Okanagan is an imported phenomenon. Outsiders get blamed and the impression is given that if it wasn’t for those who come here from elsewhere, we would not have crime. But that’s bunk. Kelowna can and does generate its own crime, and yes, the city is a desirable place for all people to come to—

good and bad. But painting a picture of a city that has been overrun by criminals is just plain incorrect. The article also criticizes development here and on that score, maybe there are points to be made. Changes are taking place though and, love it or hate it, what happened in the past happened. It’s time to move on. As for strip mall development, especially on the Westside, what the folks in Vancouver weren’t told is that it has taken place on WFN land.

Making the case for premier’s future vision To the editor: On Feb. 12, Premier Christy Clark’s government introduced a visionary idea that we should all seriously consider—a BC Prosperity Fund that would ensure the bounty from our natural gas revenues is protected for future generations. A tremendous opportunity stands before British Columbia— the creation of a liquefied natural gas industry. Successfully attracting LNG plants to northwest B.C. can be transformational for our province. Natural gas companies have already invested billions in natural gas development and pre-development work for LNG. Shell, Chevron, Petronas (a Malaysian energy giant), and British Gas are already on the scene. The scale of just one of these plants eclipses the largest private sector investments ever made in B.C. Projections by industry experts and finance officials are staggering in terms of the economic potential for B.C. That means jobs and opportunity for our children and grandchildren—throughout B.C. It also means a lot of new revenue to help make B.C. a better

place to live. We could put this potential revenue into day-to-day government operations and watch the size of government grow, much like Alberta where they squandered resource wealth on bigger government. Or we can, as Premier Clark suggests, steer new resource revenues into a Prosperity Fund that addresses inter-generational equity—a fund that ensures that what we leave behind for our children and grandchildren is a stronger, better B.C. One way we do that is to have the Prosperity Fund pay down B.C.’s debt, which would reduce interest payments, help make life more affordable for B.C. families, and enable greater investments in health care and education. The premier’s visionary idea opens the door to a broader discussion about the future of resource development in B.C.— new mining opportunities, growing our forest industry, and developing clean power with the Site C hydroelectric dam—and steering more of our existing resource wealth into a future-focused Prosperity Fund. Now is the time to talk about the idea of the Prosperity Fund.

We need strong government leadership to realize this LNG opportunity. The provincial government must be wholly committed to getting this done as we are in a worldwide race to meet Asia’s demand. While the first plant might not break ground until later this decade, the decision to proceed will be made very soon. Leadership matters and an election is coming soon. At this critical time, the NDP are sitting on the fence, afraid to commit strongly to LNG and all the steps necessary to realize this opportunity. Fence-sitting will not build these plants and we risk these opportunities passing us by. Slowing down the process in B.C. is just what our competitors in Australia, the U.S. and the Middle East want. B.C. is more than just natural resources, but our natural resources are still our ‘core business.’. Those resources allows us to dream big and to address longterm priorities like diversifying our economy and providing for future generations. Dreaming big also means opening more doors for First Na-

Are we part of nature or do we want to control nature? To the editor: Trees are a part of nature. Trees support life of all sorts, including us humans. We share a symbiotic relationship with trees. They provide a canopy of refreshing shade in the heat. Trees selflessly offer accommodation for all kinds of critters and insects. Trees are living organisms. A “Tree of Life” is called that for a reason. So when did we get so superior as to think that we could control nature? How long before we realize that air is a finite resource, like everything else on this planet, and we stop mowing down forests that provide us with the very air we need to survive? There are two trees on the chopping block at Cedar Ave Park. Citizens of Kelowna, unless we speak up these two trees will come down sometime in the next couple of weeks. You may ask, what makes these trees special? What’s the big deal? Like all trees, these ones are special, even though to many they may appear “Charlie Brown” like. These two trees reside right on the water’s edge. They have managed to scrape out an existence in less than ideal conditions. Head on down to the lake and check out the root systems that are largely exposed. Simply magnificent! The City of Kelowna has been chopping down trees right, left and centre lately. During my daily paddle from Cedar Avenue one recent morning, I discovered that the “roadworks” department will be starting part two of their efforts to shore up the lakeshore south of Cedar Avenue Park over the next couple of weeks. Last year, part one saw the tearing down of old sea walls to be replaced by new sea walls fronted by rock piles.

Part two will see the same treatment to the remaining seawalls up to and including Cedar Avenue Park. Part of the construction (I prefer to call it destruction) includes the removal of the two “Charlie Brown” trees. Both parts of this destruction are part of the proposed Cedar Avenue Park that has been so controversial in Kelowna in recent years. The city proposes a building, the neighbourhood citizens want a park. Mayor Walter Gray, the leadership of Kelowna fell on your shoulders after the last election. We have not seen much leadership on Cedar Avenue, before or since the election. The past council could not handle this hot potato and passed it on to the new council. We have not heard anything about Cedar Avenue since your election. I have watched these seawalls being built in spite of no decision on Cedar Avenue. It would indicate to me that not only is Cedar Avenue in limbo, it is being transformed without public consultation. That transformation has nothing to do with restoring natural shoreline. Mayor Gray, Kelowna just won an award for sustainability. Creating a park at Cedar Avenue is what Kelowna has asked for. It is sustainable. Will you save the two trees that I speak of to show that Kelowna has an interest in being a part of nature, and begin the process that will decide the fate of Cedar Avenue? Or will you choose the path of controlling nature by building this seawall and delaying the decision on Cedar Avenue further? Leadership is a bear sometimes, and this issue is about to come out of hibernation. Bob Purdy, Kelowna

tions economic opportunities and developing our resources with the best technology and in the most environmentally responsible way possible. We should be global leaders in how to produce LNG, and I believe we will be. These are important legacies we can leave for future generations. Our legacy is growing the economy and leaving a better B.C. for future generations, not taking the proceeds of resource wealth to simply grow the size of government. We have a premier who gets our core business and she has a vision how to turn that to our future advantage. The B.C. Prosperity Fund is exactly what we need to capture and protect the bounty from LNG and other natural resources. It’s a brilliant idea. This May, we have the opportunity to support a premier who is demonstrating the leadership qualities necessary at this critical time. Her vision and determination is what we need to seize this opportunity now for future generations. Brad Bennett, Kelowna

Chiefs playoff game ruined by the referee

We invite all URBA members to stay for the social after the meeting

As a proud supporter of the KIJHL and the Kelowna Chiefs, I wished to pass along the following to any of of the Central and South those fans that usually go to Kelowna Rockets or West Okanagan / Similkameen Kelowna Warriors games. First, thanks for your support. But it needs to be pointed out just how awful the referee conducted himself, especially in a playoff game. The refs needs to leave their egos elsewhere. Most of those fans who came out to watch the Chiefs for the first time likely won’t be back thanks to the ref for throwing his hands on his hips and destroying of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen the flow of the game. My family came out to watch a playoff game between two good hockey teams, and it didn’t happen. Allan Mayes, Kelowna

finance Tips for choosing your executor or trustee Why women (NC)—Being an Executor/Trustee of a family member’s estate is not easy. It can be overwhelming in terms of the amount of detail required to complete the task, and the emotional support needed during a time of grieving. When selecting your Executor/Trustee, keep in mind the following qualities: availability, reliability, capability, responsibility and emotional understanding. Not to mention stamina. Energy, clarity

and organizational ability are also crucial. Points to consider Availability: Think about where your Executor lives and the level of responsibility needed. Your Executor should be located near your hometown so that the duties can be performed efficiently and without undue expense or inconvenience. If you think the responsibility will be too much for one person, consider naming Co-Executors - two or three people who

Depending upon the complexity of your estate, your Executor will require astute business judgment, negotiation skills, decision-making skills and honesty. The choice should not be based on affection, friendship or family ties. Also, consider whether the person will be healthy enough to start and complete the many tasks required to settle your estate in a timely manner. Capability: Your Executor need not know everything about financial or legal matters. It’s crucial, however, that your Executor be resourceful and not afraid to seek guidance from legal or financial or real estate experts. You may think that George “who knows everything” may be the

perfect Executor, but will he be? It is prudent to have an Executor who realizes that expert advice is worth the fee charged. Responsibility: This quality dovetails with Capability. Your Executor will be making financial and legal decisions that will affect your beneficiaries. She can also be held liable for investing in unsuitable assets, failing to pay your unpaid tax bill, and more. Choose someone with good time management skills so she can meet the many deadlines. Common sense is another useful attribute. Emotional Understanding: Your heirs, family and friends will be in an emotional state of upheaval. Your Executor should be someone your heirs can turn to for support and understanding, balancing logic (financial, legal, property matters) with emotional empathy and sympathy. Your Executor will also have to be finely tuned to each beneficiary’s needs. One may just want “the facts” – what has been done, what needs to be done, etc, while another may want your Executor to listen to stories and how much she misses you. An Executor needs a calculator in one hand and tissue in the other. Will your

Executor alienate your beneficiaries? Or will she be too kind and be subject to manipulation? Once you have decided upon an Executor, it is a common courtesy to ask permission before actually naming that person as your Executor in your Will. It is also a good business and public relations decision. Someone who has been asked in advance is less likely to refuse to act when required. Once you have made a decision and the person(s) agrees, have a conversation about your wishes. This will allow your Executor to ask you questions about what’s important to you and how you want your estate handled. Appointing a trust company as your Executor/Trustee has some advantages. The staff is reliable and experienced in these matters. If there is any question of family dispute over your estate then a trust company is a good choice. Consider naming a friend or family member and a trust company as Co-Executors. You can have the best of both worlds: a trust company to handle the legal and financial matters and a family member to be the emotional beacon for the heirs.

should have their own will

(NC)—Making a will is a sensible and worthwhile task that everybody, whatever their age or financial status, should do. However there are some special reasons why women should make a will of their own. • Women usually live longer than their husbands. It’s a good idea for each of you to have your own will. • Planning for children or other dependants is something that women usually want to pay special attention to. • Taxes and legal concerns (especially if there was a previous marriage or other dependants) should be looked at. • Many women will want to make special arrangements for the distribution of family heirlooms, jewellery, items of historical or sentimental value, and their own property. • Continuing the support for charities and organizations that many women supported during their lifetimes may be a consideration. A will lets you decide With a properly prepared will, you can ensure that: • Property will be distributed exactly as you would have wished; • You can name your own executor to administer your estate; • Guardians of children will be named in the way you want; • Personal items such as jewellery and antiques will be handled the way you intend; • Individuals, your church, health charities and organizations like Amnesty International will receive the support you had always intended for them. Prepare a will now If you do not have a will, now is the time to prepare one. While a will does not need to be a complicated document, it is always advisable to contact a lawyer or trust company to help you. The peace of mind which comes from ensuring there are no small mistakes or omissions which could cause difficulties for your heirs is well worth the costs of such services. Can I change my will? Yes, you can always change your will, either completely or by means of a codicil, which is a document that adds to or alters your existing will. You should seek legal advice to do this as requirements vary from province to province. Should I leave money to a good cause? Always take care of your loved ones first, but then consider if there are organizations and causes you’d also like to support with your estate. The tradition of leaving money to charities that benefit society and your community is many centuries old. Today, people at all income levels support organizations like the Cancer Society or Amnesty International through their wills. These bequests are a vital source of funds for the organizations and stand as a lasting memorial to the donor. For individuals who feel that they cannot afford to make a large donation to a cause they support during their lifetime, a bequest in a will can be a good way to make a lasting contribution.

RALPH SULTAN, a Liberal MLA for the West Vancouver-Capilano riding, was appointed Minister of State for Seniors by Premier Christy Clark last fall.

Move to create seniors’ advocate office called just a publicity stunt Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR

The B.C. government’s proposal to create a new seniors’ advocate office is being criticized as a pre-election gesture to create a position that won’t have the authority to hold government accountable on problems faced by seniors. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid tabled legislation this week to create the new position. Unlike the Auditor General and the Representative for Children and Youth, the office would not be independent, but would report to the

health ministry. MacDiarmid said the new seniors’ advocate will monitor seniors’ services and work with policy-makers, senior care providers and others to identify solutions to “systemic issues” such as those faced by families navigating the province’s system of seniors’ care. Katrine Conroy, NDP critic for seniors, said it has been six years since the Opposition first called for a new seniors’ watchdog. Conroy said she is disappointed that the proposed office not only has no set budget, it is not intended to investigate individual cases. “We

won’t see it before the (May 14) election,” Conroy predicted. Premier Christy Clark appointed West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan to a new Minister of State for Seniors position last fall. “I have heard from seniors, their families and care providers throughout the province about the many non-medical issues that seniors face that make it difficult for them to remain in their homes,” Sultan said. A seniors’ advocate office will help improve government support systems for health care, personal care, housing, transportation and income support, Sultan said.

steoarthritis is one of the oldest and most common forms of arthritis and is a chronic condition characterized by the breakdown of the joint’s cartilage. Cartilage is the part of the joint that cushions the ends of the bones and allows easy movement of joints. The breakdown of cartilage causes the bones to rub against each other, causing stiffness, pain and loss of movement in the joint. It is most common in the weight-bearing joints of the hips, knees and lower back. Statistics show : • more than 10 per cent of Canadian adults are affected by arthritis • joint damage caused by OA accounts for more than 80 per cent of hip replacement surgery and over 90 per cent of knee replacements • in Canada. 4.6 million, or one in six, Canadians report having arthritis • by 2031, approximately seven million Canadians (one in five) are expected to have arthritis • arthritis costs the Canadian economy more than $33 billion annually • over six per cent of total hospitalizations in Canada are associated with arthritis • more Canadians have died from arthritis and related conditions than from melanoma, asthma or HIV/AIDS • almost 1,000 Canadians died from arthritis in 2005 • women are about three times as likely as men to die from arthritis. Despite the frequency of the disease, its cause is still not completely known and there is no cure. In fact, many different factors may play a role in whether or not you get OA, such as age, obesity, injury or overuse and genetics. If there were a perfect excuse not to

exercise, Arthritis pain would be it, for who feels motivated to exercise when they are in pain? Pushing yourself to exercise when your body hurts isn’t easy, but reBobbi search shows that exerKittle cise will not only improve your mood increase flexibility and range of motion but over time decrease the pain associated with Arthritis! In addition another benefit of exercise for the individual with arthritis, is improving joint health. Did you know you are“ feeding” your joints when you exercise? Your cartilage (the gristle that protects the end of your bones) relies on movement to absorb nutrients and remove waste. So what better reason to get moving. But be cautious as exercising with cold muscles can cause pain and possibly injury. If you have arthritis, you will need to do a longer warm up before exercising or may want to consider a warm bath or apply heat packs to joints before exercise; to get the synovial fluid flowing—it lubricates the joint. Many doctors will recommend an exercise program in a warm pool for these reasons and also because of the low impact. Fibrofit is such a program held at Hawthorn Park and is available for those suffering with arthritis, fibromyalgia and other inflammatory diseases. Always check with your doctor before starting an exercise program to make sure the activity is appropriate for you! Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it.

2013 Help your kids understand what bullying looks like and how they can stop it: Bullying has a lot of manifestations, and some may be more obvious then others. Ask your kids to point out instances of bullying they see around them, whether itâ€™s on TV, in school, or even in the home. Then, try role-playing or brainstorming about what they might do if they encounter bullying. Make a list of actions that can help stop bullying, such as safely intervening, telling a trusted adult, or otherwise seeking help. Make tolerance and inclusiveness a family priority: Students who arenâ€™t being bullied hold the power to intervene and stand up for those who are - but only if theyâ€™ve been taught that itâ€™s the right thing to do.

BUSINESS Sustainable building the focus of home show presentations Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The Kelowna Home Show celebrated its 14th year last weekend with a three-day exhibition at Prospera Place. A variety of companies featured products related to building, renovating and landscaping, as well as a range of other lifestyle products and services. On the main stage the focus was on green and sustainable building ideas. Ewe Heyde, president of Heyde-Haus Inc., spoke about the advantages of passive houses. According to the Heyde-Haus website, a passive house is a very well insulated and draught-proof building, which has an annual heat space demand so low that conventional heating systems can be omitted. In other words, the house heats and cools itself. The average Canadian home consumes 59 per cent of total energy in heating; homes built to the passive house standard consume 6.4 per cent of total energy in heating. “In a passive house you barely have any convection…that makes the feeling inside of a passive house way more comfortable, compared to an ordinary building shell,” Heyde told the home show crowd during his presentation Saturday. Leigh Bond, president of Threshold Energies, also made presentations throughout the weekend regarding today’s innovative and energy-saving technologies for the home. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

THE ANNUAL Kelowna Home Show took place last weekend at Prospera Place.

Dress code update: Side boobs nixed, tattoos OK’d W hen CBS, the network airing the recent Grammy Awards, issued a wardrobe advisory in advance of the annual show, the mundane topic of dress codes suddenly became fashionable. According to published reports, the CBS memo included the following cautions: “Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visi-

ble ‘puffy’ bare skin exposure.” With that stroke of a pen, CBS ensured its viewers would be scrutinizing every outfit’s cracks, crevices and creases for signs of an offending side boob. Word is that, despite Neil Patrick Harris getting lost in Katy Perry’s cleavage (he hasn’t been seen since), the night went off without a wardrobe malfunction. In the real world, dress codes tend not to be all that exciting but they do come up for scrutiny by adjudicators now and then. Only weeks ago, an Ontario arbitrator ruled that tattoos and body piercings are just fine for nurses.

The hospital’s workplace policy required employees to cover up large, visible tattoos (and to remove Robert excessive piercSmithson ings, among other things). The hospital’s policy was rooted in a study indicating that patients do not react favourably to tattooed and pierced female hospital workers—the hospital’s view was that the negative impressions created by employees’ personal style choices affected patients’ stress levels and health care outcomes. The arbitrator adjudicating the nurses’ resulting grievance didn’t buy the hospital’s conclusions.

YOU WORK HERE

Arbitrator Slotnick stated that “anyone who has taken a stroll on a summer day knows that tattoos are no longer confined to sailors, stevedores and strippers…” Employers may be asking, “What ever happened to our ‘management right’ to decide how our employees present themselves to the public?” The answer to that question really depends upon the forum. In a unionized setting, such as the Ontario hospital, the employer’s policies are subject to scrutiny on the basis of whether they are reasonable, clear, and consistently enforced. This is the hook that allows unions to grieve a policy (including a workplace dress code) and, if it doesn’t meet that standard, it will be struck down.

In the Ontario case, the arbitrator was sympathetic to the employer’s desire to deliver the best possible health care and he accepted that patients could have a negative reaction to medical workers with tattoos or piercings. But, the employer couldn’t provide any objective evidence of a negative impact on health care outcomes, so the policy was struck down as unreasonable. In the non-union setting, the primary avenue for having a workplace dress code reviewed is pursuant to the applicable (provincial or federal) human rights legislation. But, in that context, the complainant employees would have to demonstrate a nexus between their personal dress choices and a recognized

ground of discrimination such as gender, religion, race, ancestry, place of origin, etc. That being the case, these decisions are far more likely to arise in the unionized context. For now, it appears that celebrities appearing on network television award shows will have to exercise caution about exposing the “problematic” bare sides or under curvature of the breasts. And, the next time an arbitrator reviews an employer’s body art ban, she’ll perhaps observe, “tattoos are no longer confined to sailors, stevedores, strippers and nurses.” Robert Smithson is a labour and employment lawyer, and operates Smithson Employment Law in Kelowna. www.smithsonlaw.ca

Don’t be caught off-guard by the April 30 tax deadline T he April 30 tax deadline is approaching and it is our Canadian duty to get our annual tax return prepared and submitted before the deadline or face the financial penalty. You can choose to file early. If you are expecting a return, consider filing as early as possible. If you choose to file early, you will typically get your tax return faster because you have beat the deadline rush of last minute tax filers. If you are employed and receive a large refund, make sure to ask your employer to reduce tax on your payroll by completing CRA form T1213-Request to

FISCAL FITNESS

Doreen Smith Reduce Tax Deductions at Source. With most investment tax slips arriving in the mail during February and March, it makes sense to review all of your tax information before you submit your return, this saves you filing an amended return before April 30. If you owe money to the government you can choose to wait until the

April 30 deadline to send in your cheque. If you happen to file late, you will be subject to five per cent penalty on the unpaid taxes, plus an additional one per cent per month penalty. If an individual ends up owing more than $2,000 in taxes, Canada Revenue Agency will do a calculation to see if you need to start making quarterly installment payments. There are many tax preparation software packages available to purchase. Most are user friendly and affordable. If your return is complex, and you want to ensure all your expenses and income

are accounted for, an accountant is the person you should be sitting down with to prepare your annual tax return. Remember to review all available expenses and deductions so you only pay your fair share of taxes. Here are some key tax reminders for the upcoming tax filing season. Spouses can benefit from pension splitting by using Form T1032-Joint Election to Split Pension Income. Up to 50 per cent of income can be allocated to a spouse or common-law partner, producing a lower overall tax bill and either avoiding or reducing the claw back of Old Age Security (OAS)

benefits for one or both spouses. Both spouses may be able to claim the pension tax credit. Splitting your Canada Pension Plan can reduce your household tax bill. Tax credits for children include the non-refundable tax credit for children under age 18, the children’s fitness tax credit for children enrolled in eligible physical activity programs and the children’s arts tax credit. Deductions are available for child care expenses such as daycare and after-school care costs. Costs for boarding school and camp fees may also qualify. Students are eligible for non-refundable tax credits for tuition, education and textbook costs. Certain types of examination fees will also be considered as part of tuition expenses when claiming the credit. Students can take ad-

vantage of the moving expense deduction if they earn income and can qualify under the CRA guidelines. The moving expense deduction is one of the most missed deductions for all Canadians. Medical expenses incurred during the year can be claimed with the $10,000 threshold being eliminated last year. If you are incorporated, take advantage of the Private Health Services Plan to allow you to claim 100 per cent of your medical expenses. In regards to charitable donations, if a couple has donated more than $200 in the tax year, the receipts should be combined and claimed by the partner with the highest income, maximizing the allowable credit. Up to five years worth of donation receipts can be claimed on the same tax return. Canadians with little

or no income should file an annual tax return. Earned income determines eligibility for government programs such as the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) or the GST/HST credit. Any amount of reported income will add to future registered retirement savings plan contribution room. The April 30 deadline has exceptions, including individuals or their spouses who are self-employed, ran a business or if a spouse died during the tax year. In these examples the individual has until June 15 to file returns. Tax time is often a stressful and confusing time for Canadians.

Scotties bronze for Kelowna’s Scott Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Kelly Scott may have fallen short of a third Canadian women’s curling title, but the Kelowna foursome still had plenty of reason to smile when all was said and done in Kingston, Ont. Scott and Co. defeated Team Canada’s Heather Nedohin 10-8 on Sunday afternoon to capture the bronze medal at the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. A high scoring affair and a see-saw battle from the opening end, Scott sealed the win in the 10th with a steal of one, when Nedohin missed a difficult double takeout attempt with her final rock. It was an 8-4 loss to Nedohin just a day earlier in the 3-4 Page playoff game that officially ended the Scott team’s gold-medal aspirations. Scott was proud of the resilience her team showed after a heartbreaking loss. “We were quite disappointed with the results of (Saturday’s) game, we felt like we

were throwing well and the results were not good,” said Scott. “But we had a great game (Sunday) out there, so that’s how you want to leave an event like this, really our last event of the season.” It was the Scott rink’s eighth appearance at the Scotties, but the first for new lead Sarah Wazney who moved from Winnipeg to join the team this season. The week wasn’t without its challenges for Wazney who was stricken early in the week with food poisoning. For veterans Scott, third Jeanna Schraeder and second Sasha Carter, getting a bronze medal for their new teammate was the most satisfying reward of the entire week. “We are so happy, so pleased,” said Scott. “This team, really our first year together with Sarah in the mix, and (with) her difficulties with food poisoning this week—we’re super proud to get the chance to play for the bronze medal. It was a battle and we had to work for it. We’re proud for

ties. But with five straight wins to close the round robin and an 8-3 record, the Kelowna women secured third spot and a berth in the 3-4 game vs

Nedohin. Jeanna Schraeder was named to the tournament’s second all-star team at the third position after curling 80 per cent during the round robin.

Rockets back on track with sweep of Royals Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

As it turns out, a late-season funk that afflicted the Kelowna Rockets looks like it was only temporary. After five losses in their previous seven WHL games—including a sweep at the hands of the Kamloops Blazers a week earlier—the Rockets bounced back by dismantling the hometown Victoria Royals in back-to-back meetings: 8-3 on Friday and 7-2 on Saturday. “Victoria is a very tough place to play and it was important for our group to go in there and play well,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Hus-

ka. “We had just come through a stretch of a lot of hockey in a short time, and we found we just weren’t able to keep up. But we got some rest, came back and responded very well with these two wins.” On the heels of scoring just 14 times in a seven-game stretch, the club’s offensive outburst was a welcome sight for the Rockets’ coaching staff. And once again, a diversified attack carried Kelowna with 11 different players finding the back of the Royals net. “It was good to see that,” said Huska, whose Rockets are second in the WHL in goals scored with 273. “Again, the thing is the offense is coming from everybody and that’s really important

for us to have success. We’re not asking just one or two lines, it’s all four providing scoring and that’s nice.” With the sweep, the Rockets (44-15-3-1) have re-opened a five point lead on the Kamloops Blazers for the B.C. Division lead and second place overall in the WHL’s Western Conference. The teams have three games remaining against one another, all in the span of week in early March. “It would be nice for us to win the division, and those are going to be big games when we do meet (the Blazers),” said Huska. “But we have other games and other teams we need to focus on

over the last couple of weeks. There aren’t going to be any easy ones.” The Rockets return to action Thursday night when they host the Seattle Thunderbirds. On SaturProspera day, the LethPlace bridge Hurricanes will visit Prospera Place. Face off both nights is 7:05 7 p.m. p.m. Feb. 28 whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

All-star honours for Oxland, Manuel coach of the year to me that a rookie setter would be able to lead this young team to a 15-7 record and a tie for third place in Canada West at the end of the regular season.” Oxland put up some impressive numbers to back her all-star selection. She was first in the CIS in total assists, fifth in assists per set and second in total aces. Oxland recorded 804 total assists—the highest number recorded in the country since 2008-09. From the service line she aced her opponents 46

times—a new CW single season record—number two in the nation and tops in Canada West, at 0.52 per set she ranks tenth in the CIS and fourth in Canada West. Oxland was also extremely durable for her squad playing in every one of the Heat’s 88 total sets. “Emily was the difference in several matches this season,” Manuel said. “She is a leader, a true competitor and simply a winner.”

Steve is without a doubt, one of the finest coaches in the CIS.”

Serwa preps for world championships Kelsey Serwa’s bid for a second straight win on the World Cup ski cross circuit was derailed by the weather over the weekend in Eastern Europe. Heavy snow, warming temperatures, rain and wind forced organizers to call off Sunday’s race in Harrachov, Czech Repub-

lic.

Kelsey Serwa

As much as Serwa was disappointed in the cancellation, she also sees it as a chance to fine tune for the Ski Cross World Championships, March 10 in Norway. “This gives me a great opportunity to rest and train for world champion-

ships,” Serwa wrote on Facebook. The 23-year-old Kelowna native is fresh off a gold medal victory last week at a World Cup in Sochi, Russia, a test event for the 2014 Olympic Games. The course was very much to Serwa’s liking

as she dominated her early heats, then held off a fierce challenge from World Cup leader Fanny Smith in the women’s final to take top spot. Serwa finished second in the qualification round and used her strong starts to great effect in the heats as she won her round of

32 heat, her quarterfinal and her semifinal. In the final, Smith was hot on her heels but the Swiss ace fell when she tried to take a tight inside line on a corner in an attempt to pass Serwa. “On the last turn of the track she tried to go inside me and overshot,” Serwa

said. “I was just happy to get over the finish line safely.” Serwa now sits third in the women’s ski cross World Cup standings with 401 points. Smith leads with 476 points and French veteran Ophelie David is second with 416.

Warriors host Vipers Tuesday

With the regular season winding down, the West Kelowna Warriors Swill battle their North Okanagan rivals Tuesday night in BCHL action at Royal LePage Place. Face off between the Warriors and Vernon Vipers is 7:05 p.m. West Kelowna has just six games remaining in the 2012-13 regular campaign. The Warriors are coming off a big 2-1 win over the hometown Merritt Centennials on Saturday night. Tyler Briggs was named the first star and made more than 40 saves for the second time this year in Merritt, allowing the Warriors to withstand a third period Centennials

onslaught. The victory moves West Kelowna to within five points of Merritt in the race for second in the BCHL’s Interior Conference. The Warriors have also won all five matchups against the Centennials this year. “We knew it was going to be a close game, and it was,” said Warriors forward Marcus Basara afterwards. Basara’s powerplay goal midway through the second period would hold up as the winner, his sixth PPG of the year. Mitch Nardi scored West Kelowna’s other goal, beating Steel early in the second period. Brent Fletcher potted Merritt’s lone tally on a

short-handed breakaway in the opening frame. Tyler Briggs would stand tall the rest of the way, stopping 19 shots in the third period alone and 43 overall. “Obviously outstanding,” Basara concluded of Briggs’ performance. “In the third period he stood on his head and it was great to see him steal us a game. I thought it was a good effort from everyone.” The Warriors and Centennials will meet twice more this season, with a home-and-home series set for this weekend. Moreover, a firstround playoff matchup between the clubs is becoming increasingly more likely as the season draws to a close.

Ok Rockets to finish 3rd in BCMML The Okanagan Rockets were looking to make club history by winning a seasonal series from the Vancouver Northwest Giants for the first time ever. Instead, the hometown Rockets will settle for a split with the B.C. Major Midget League-leading Giants after managing a tie in a two-game set over the weekend at CNC. The teams each won once

during the regular season, with the two other games in ending in ties. On Saturday, Justin Marreck, Carter Hikichi and Cortlan Procter scored for Okanagan as the teams skated to a 3-3 tie. Reid Kilburn stopped 21 shots in the Rockets net. On Sunday, the Giants ripped open a tight-checking affair with two third-period goals for

Centre of excellence a boost for new businesses I

feel, once again, professorial of sorts this week as I continue to become increasingly aware of the dramatic changes to promote the entrepreneurial spirit that have occurred over the past several years in North America. Six to seven years ago in Canada, one would hardly see evidence of entrepreneurship centres, programs and activities. N But I am astoundSed with the progressive change that has taken place across Canada f ewith academic programs, faculty positions and remarkable entrepreneurship centres of excellence rin many of our universities and colleges. The University of Saskatchewan, in Saskatoon, is but one that resonates with me that has leapfrogged into a multi-disciplined, cross-campus centre of excellence that came about from faculty and corporate world leadership in that province. I was there before I

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young moved to the Okanagan and was able to experience, participate and enjoy its birth. In light of the new dialogue that is taking place with UBCO, Okanagan College, the candles of entrepreneurial inspiration our entrepreneurship society continue to light with the 2012 Entrepreneurship Conference, the roundtable and followup initiative to assemble a regional entrepreneurship strategy, this weekly column and our television entrepreneur series with Shaw Broadcasting are all designed to light the fire and fan the flames of entrepreneurship in the Okanagan. So let’s talk about this exciting concept of en-

trepreneurial centres of excellence that I see rising from wonderful ideas across both Canada and the U.S. An ideal centre of excellence concept drives the development of our regional economies by helping create new jobs, products, services and technologies as well as businesses. In partnership with industry and academia, a sound example of such a centre co-invests to commercialize innovation originating in our region’s colleges, universities and research sectors. Such a centre model also co-invests in commercialization, technology transfer and talent development projects in the segments of regional economies that will drive our regions to prosperity and ensure a satisfactory level of global competitiveness. So how is this accomplished? The heart of a bonafide centre of excellence is its ability to work

directly with academia and industry to bring prospective partners together to turn worthy ideas into dollars—and thus, profitability. The elements behind these centres ask the questions, “What’s needed?” and “What’s new?” I personally enjoyed this experience when conducting evaluation studies at the Communications Research Centre just outside of Ottawa during Canada’s research work in satellite communications and space research. What a hoot for taht was for this prairie boy! One of the genuine assets of a true entrepreneurial centre of excellence is its ability to work through its own tailored programs to commercialize innovation and creativity, transfer new technologies and develop promising talent, the latter often forgotten and ignored. A good series of functional roles an entrepreneurial centre of excel-

lence are: • small business assistance • workforce and entrepreneurial development • international trade and investment assistance • total quality management • technology transfer and product develoopment • Internet and computer services • economic research environment • continuing education • training • assistance to community-based organizations • providing conference and workshop facilities which can be used for workshops, courses, seminars and new venture incubation space. An entrepreneurial centre of excellence combines both industry, university and related organizations with a sprinkling of government entities, can present a wonderful plethora of powerful results oriented actors that

would make most entrepreneurial ventures successes a reality. Hence, it is my explicit desire this week to ask each and every one of you reading this column to reflect on a role you can play in our Okanagan region to stimulate the creation of an entrepreneurial sustainable community with an exceptional Canadian example of an entrepreneurial centre of excellence. OK, so I’m looking at Innovation Drive at UBCO, but in collaboration with UBCO and Okanagan College and our economic development agencies, let’s assemble a B.C. Interior example of what can readily be an inspiration for enlarging the entrepreneurial footprint on the Okanagan Valley floor.

It riffs on the many personifications of the bee and culminates in a simple look at this insect as an important entity within the miraculously interdependent world we live in.” “I asked Denise and Vic to collaborate,” said Arellano, “to build a sense of community between our three institutions. “As an informal triptych of filmmakers, we can play off each other’s strengths and bring relevant stories about our community to the Okanagan and beyond.” While Poirier’s project, Weeds, is still in production and won’t make this festival screening, the three filmmakers hope to screen all three films together in the late fall of 2013.

Okanagan College communications professor and filmmaker, Marc Arellano, will screen his latest documentary film, Spinning Green, on SAturday, March 9, at Western Canada’s biggest documentary film festival— the World Community Film Festival. Arellano plans to donate 50 per cent of the profit generated by the documentary’s DVD sales at the festival screening to the Kelowna Community Food Bank. Spinning Green is a short documentary film about local urban farmer Curtis Stone. It tells the story about Stone’s commitment to producing local organic vegetables by bicycle. “Curtis asked for one condition when I approached him about doing the film,” said Arellano. “He asked that I do the filming by bike, so I ended up riding around 450 kilometres to complete the production portion.” The film is about transformation. Stone transforms himself, his family, and his community by planting edible gardens in people’s yards. In exchange for the use of a homeowner’s backyard, Stone provides monthly produce from his bin program. It’s an amazing story, said Arellano. “He produced 13,000 pounds of food on about 3/4 of an acre the season I followed

CAPITAL NEWS

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen anniversary faves March 1st will mark our 15th anniversary together. That’s when my first from Jude’s Kitchen food column appeared in the Kelowna Capital News, and was the launch of my career as a food writer, which is, of course, off the side of my desk and in my kitchen—not full-time. It actually began as Phyl and Jude’s Kitchen, as a friend and I collaborated for the first few years, but she’s moved away and I soldiered on, coming up with ideas for weekly columns for every one of the past 780 weeks. Can you imagine? It’s been a challenge some weeks as work, kids, volunteer activities and life tried to get in the way, but every one of those weeks I came up with something I hoped would be fresh for you to put on the table. I’m kind of taking a break today: using a couple of favourite recipes from previous columns, although the Lemony Chicken has been changed up a bit. And that’s what all of us find, that our favourite recipes evolve from week to week and year to year, with the ideas we pick up from favourite chefs, in restaurants or on television, or from newspapers or magazines, or on the internet. In fact, our daily inspiration is generally from what’s available in the garden or farmer’s market, or the produce counter; what’s available in season. If you’ve gotten little else over the years from this column, I just hope that you’ve learned to relax and enjoy cooking, and to use recipes as guidelines which you can colour in however you wish; substituting here and there, depending on what you have available and your personal tastes. If you’ve enjoyed the recipes, you might enjoy my book, Jude’s Kitchen, published by the Okanagan Institute and available at bookstores and in many wine boutiques. It’s organized by the seasons of the year, and highlights what’s available locally in B.C. and seasonally, with food for every meal of the day, and in-between too.

Lemony Chicken with Vegies

Just made this again the other day and it was pretty yummy. It can be served on a weeknight for a quick family meal or on the weekend for company. A salad or broccoli on the side, with perhaps a bit of rice, pasta or a spud, and dinner’s served. 6 large chicken thighs, trimmed 2 garlic cloves 1 large onion 6 carrots 2 celery stalks 2-3 lemons 2 tsp. (10 ml) honey 1 c. (250 ml) chicken stock drizzle of oil 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) dried oregano 1/4 tsp. (2 ml) dried thyme 1/4 tsp. (2 ml) black pepper 1/4 tsp. (2 ml) sea salt Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Skin chicken and remove all visible fat. You may use any chicken parts you wish. Mince garlic and chop onion, carrots and

celery into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Use a potato peeler to remove the lemon zest in large pieces. Dissolve the honey in hot chicken stock. Drizzle a little oil in a Dutch oven or deep frypan over medium heat and brown the chicken pieces. Remove and add another drizzle of oil to the pan. Soften the onion, then add the rest of the vegetables and the garlic and turn them about for a few minutes. Squeeze the juice from the lemons and stir it in, along with the large pieces of lemon zest. Add the chicken stock mixture, herbs and spices and bring to a bubble. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and turn them about to coat them with the sauce. Cover and roast in a medium oven for about 45 minutes to an hour, or just until the chicken is cooked. You may also cook it, covered, on low heat on top of the stove until the chicken is just done. Serves 6.

Tasty Mini Meatloaves

The beauty of these is that they cook really quickly, so you can have them on the table in no time. You could substitute some crumbs for the oat bran if you haven’t any handy, but it’s an excellent source of fibre. 1 large onion 2-3 stalks celery 1/2 green pepper 1/2 red pepper 2 tbsp. (30 ml) butter 2 garlic cloves 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) hot pepper sauce 1 tbsp. (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp. (5 ml) cayenne pepper 1 tsp. (5 ml) salt 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) black pepper 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) ground cumin 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) ground coriander 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) ground nutmeg 1 c. (250 ml) tomato sauce 2 lb. (1 kg) lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c. (250 ml) oat bran

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Chop onion, celery and sweet peppers into small pieces. Melt butter in a frypan over medium heat and saute the vegetables until they begin to soften. Mince garlic and add, along with hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in seasonings and continue cooking until the mixture becomes a bit sticky, a few minutes. Add tomato sauce and cook for another couple of minutes, stirring it in well. Cool while preparing the meat. Add eggs and oat bran to ground beef in a large bowl. Add cooled vegetables and spices and combine it all well. (Using your hands works best.) Lightly spray muffin cups with olive oil spray or grease the cups. Divide meat mixture into a dozen mounded mini meatloaves, the right size for muffin cups. Cook for 20 minutes or so. Makes 12. Serves 8-12.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen

There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt

*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh

*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
