WELCOME TO WEST KELOWNA…Premier Christy Clark brought her cabinet to West Kelowna Wednesday for the first time since being elected MLA for Westside-Kelowna. Despite slipping on her walk down the dock at the Cove Resort to pose for a group photo with her ministers prior to the closed-door cabinet meeting at the resort, Clark said she was unhurt as a result of the tumble. “I can take a fall,” she said with a smile, adding, “we have soft wood here.”

Minister sees OKM upgrade up close Education Minister Peter Fassbender got a close-up look at what $15 million buys in Kelowna in terms of school expansion, Tuesday. Fassbender was taken on a tour of the construc-
tion at Okanagan Mission Secondary School. The school is getting an additional 16 classrooms, a second full-sized gymnasium, an expanded drama department area, and improvements to more than 1,000-squaremetres of existing space inside the school.
The construction is expected to be complete by September 2014 and will create space for an additional 200 students. The school will need it as it will take in an estimated 300 Grade 7 students next year as the Central Okanagan School District reconfigures the

Brittney Irving was scrambling to collect marijuana to fill a drug order the day she was shot four times, allegedly by the man who she was dating and assembling the order with, Crown counsel submitted during their opening statement in the Joelon Verma murder trial Tuesday. Irving, who was “stressed” about paying legal fees stemming from her arrest for growing marijuana in March 2010, allegedly contacted Verma by text about needing to make more money and was putting together a large pot deal with Verma on April 6, 2010, said Crown counsel Mallory Treddenick. That day, she collected 50 pounds of marijuana—worth an estimated $100,000—and, according to text messages, was supposed to meet with Verma, said Treddenick. The Crown says the last time Irving’s phone was used was at 1:53 p.m. that day, when she wrote a text, allegedly to Verma, Brittney Irving saying “On route babe. See you in 10.” The Crown alleges that Verma later called his cousin Jason Labonte to help him after he got a truck stuck in the mud. Labonte eventually took officers to a side road off McCulloch Forest Service Road and pointed out where he helped pull out the truck, said Const. Tim Russell. Russell returned with other officers—and a dog handler—on April 26, 2010. Police service dog Talon found Irving’s body in the woods about 10 minutes after they began searching, testified dog handler Const. Robert Hodder. She was lying on her back and “appeared to be wearing clothes that didn’t fit her,” said Hodder. The running shoes were “obviously too big” and she was also wearing a men’s work-style shirt, testified Hodder. See Drug A13

Winemaker brings sacred scroll to Okanagan Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The Jewish community in the Okanagan now has its own Torah scroll. After years of borrowing scrolls to read from during ceremonies, religious gatherings, holidays and events, Stephen Cipes, owner of Summerhill Pyramid Winery, paid $40,000 to have one written especially for the Chabad Okanagan Synagogue in Kelowna. “The Torah is the heart of Judaism, it is our backbone,” said Rabbi Shmuly Hecht, of Chabad Okanagan. “It is a user manual for a Jew, how a Jew should live life according to God.” The scroll, written by a certified Torah scroll scribe in Israel, took a year to complete and is written on special parchment in a special ink, using a quill. The calligraphy is precise. Hecht said all Torah scrolls are written the same way they have been written for 3,600 years. On Tuesday, in a park in south Pandosy, members of the local Jewish community gathered to not only get a look at their new Torah scroll but also participate in a once-in-alifetime experience, helping complete the Torah. Each member of the community got to help complete a letter in the new scroll with the assistance of certified Torah scroll scribe David Ehrentreu, who flew in from New York to partici-

CERTIFIED TORAH scroll scribe David Ehrentreu, from NewYork (right), completes one of the last letters on the Okanagan’s first Torah scroll for Rabbi Shmuly Hecht, of Chabad Okanagan (left). The new Torah, paid for by local winery owner Stephen Cipes, was unveiled Tuesday in Kelowna. The tradition of community members helping complete the last few words in a Torah scroll is a great honour and one few Jewish people get to experience, said Hecht. pate. Also on hand was Rabbi Yitzchak Wineberg, the head of Chabad B.C., who drove from Vancouver for the ceremony. “This is quite amazing. I’m here to help celebrate a milestone,” he said. He described the
Torah, which is read whenever Jews meet, as a document that “signified eternity of the Jewish people.” He called it a great honour to be able to help complete a Torah scroll, one many Jews never get an opportunity to experi-
ence. Cipes said when he made his offer to provide the Okanagan with a Torah scroll, he had no idea it would be a first for the Okanagan. “It kinda just flowed from me. I didn’t even know how much it would cost. I just
wanted to do it.” The Torah contains the five books of Moses, from Genesis to Deuteronomy. Written in Hebrew, it is the same as the document Moses is said to have brought down from Mount Sinai. Containing 613 com-
mandments, it is made up of 600,000 individual characters, the same number as the number of Jews who fled Egypt according Jewish religious teachings. The new Torah scroll will make its home in the Chabad Okanagan Synagogue in Kelowna.

Snelson conviction to be argued before court of appeal Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR
The appeal of the man convicted of killing Jennifer Cusworth two decades ago is scheduled to get underway in a Vancouver courtroom today. Neil George Snelson, found guilty of manslaughter by a jury in October 2011,
is to have his conviction appeal heard by the B.C. Court of Appeal justices this morning. Cusworth, 19, was last seen alive at a Richter Street party in October 1993. A day later her body was found face down in a ditch on Swamp Road after she had been strangled and bludgeoned to death. A break in the case didn’t come until
2009, when a DNA sample collected from Snelson matched semen found in the college student’s body. Snelson testified at trial that his only contact with Cusworth was a sexual encounter at the Richter Street party. He was originally charged with first degree murder but was found guilty of manslaughter by a jury.
Snelson, who is now in his late 40s, was handed a 15-year jail sentence, but was given four years of credit for time served when he was sentenced in December 2011. It is not known whether the Court of Appeal will make an immediate decision in the Snelson case or if they will respond with a ruling at a later date.
Kelowna’s long-awaited new downtown walking pier is nearing completion. With the last section expected to be floated into place within the next few days, Westcorp, the Edmonton-based developer building the pier and associated marina, has scheduled a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the pier and marina for Sept. 27. An official with the company organizing the event said the pier itself is expected to be complete by Sept. 21. The $5.1-million project includes the 360foot L-shaped pier, several small associated buildings, the associated temporary-use moorage facilities, including hourly and overnight slips, as well as a shorter, commercial dock nearby that is already in place. The pier, which was originally slated to be complete earlier this summer, was delayed as Westcorp made improvements during construction. Sections for the pier were built on the west side of the lake and floated across in pieces before being connected and anchored. The pier is located near The Sails sculpture at the foot of Bernard Avenue. In return for financing, building, operating and maintaining the pier for the next 20 years, Westcorp will get any revenue generated by it, including revenue from the sale of fuel from the new fuel station that is part of the project. Westcorp also owns land across the street from the pier, where the Willow Inn hotel once stood. The company plans to build a boutique hotel on the property.

Housing starts in the Kelowna Census Metropolitan Area were trending at 772 units in August compared to 815 units for July, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The trend is a sixmonth moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates of housing starts. “Kelowna area housing starts trended slightly lower in August. The starts trend reflects moderating levels of single-detached home construction. The trend measure for multiple-family starts was stable in August,” explained Paul Fabri, CMHC’s market analyst. CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR (seasonally adjusted annual rate) of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and gain a more complete picture of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 632 units in August 2013, down from 1,228 units in July 2013. Actual Kamloops, Vernon and Prince George starts were up slightly in August compared to levels recorded in August 2012.

The District of West Kelowna isn’t regretting its decision to hire a fulltime RCMP school resource officer. Const. Sherri Lund recently reported to council about some of her experiences following her first full academic year as school resource officer for
West Kelowna and Peachland schools. In her first year, Lund was involved in 78 school-related police files, including six criminal investigations resulting in charge requests including assault, sexual interference, sexual assault, theft, possession of stolen property and arson. Lund issued seven bylaw offence notices for
16 t h A n n u a l

drug paraphernalia and fighting, assisted members in missing persons files by speaking with students and participated in one critical incident response. The school resource officer also provided the SOAR program, which focuses on substance misuse prevention, to three elementary schools, ran the Lunching with the Law program for all elementary schools, patrolled school zones during peak hours and provided talks on a variety of topics at all schools in the area. The school liaison officer position was created by the district after Mount Boucherie students articulated the need for an RCMP presence in a 2011 presentation to council. “Council went through quite a process of putting this position in place. We were encouraged to do it by a number of folks,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. “I’m really glad we did; it’s turned out to be a very positive thing…way beyond expectations.” Lund said the majority of her time was spent at Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary, dealing with some of the issues facing high school students. The school resource
officer explained to council that one of the biggest issues she continues to deal with is regularly occurring bush parties, which often result in criminal investigations of assault and impaired driving. “We’ve noticed most of (the parties) are in the Trepanier and Shannon Lake areas,” said Lund, adding residents are encouraged to call West Kelowna RCMP if they see youth partying in the bush. Another concern of Lund’s is ongoing bullying and cyber bullying complaints. “It’s quite a huge problem, something I spend a lot of my time on. “It’s slow to get (information)…students are scared to come forward.” Lund has attempted to improve the situation by educating younger students about cyber bullying and telling parents to be aware of their children’s online presence. Coun. Rick de Jong, whose son attends Mount Boucherie, thanked Lund for her work and said he has noticed “a different atmosphere” at the high school since she came on board. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

It has become the Kelowna food bank’s largest one-day food donation drive. The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive, started by volunteers three years ago and now held in communities throughout the Valley and across B.C. to aid their local food banks, is set to go Saturday. And organizers are hoping to surpass the 36,000 pounds of food collected here last year. According to regional co-ordinator Debbie Morris, the drive is modelled after a similar one started in Calgary several years ago. Volunteers distributed donated grocery bags to thousands of homes in the city—as well as in West Kelowna, Lake Country, Penticton and other Okanagan and B.C. municipalities—this week with instructions about what time to leave out a donation for the food bank. The volunteers will return on Saturday to collect the donations and take them to a sorting centre, this year at the SunPlex in downtown Kelowna, before turning them over representatives of the Kelowna Community Food Bank. “The food drive has grown over the years,” said Morris, noting last year it collected 50 per cent more food than it did the year before. “We hope to increase that number even more this year,” she added. Rob Weller, operations manager with the Kelowna Community Food Bank, the recipient of the community-initiated food drive here, said the B.C. Thanksgiving event has become a huge deal for his organization. He said at this time of year, the food Bank is in desperate need of donations. And this drive brings them in. This year, the food bank saw a surprisingly large jump in the number of families asking for help over the summer, said
Weller. “We had a 17 per cent increase in families this summer,” he said. “Don’t ask me why, I don’t know.” The food collected in each of the municipalities where the drive takes place, goes directly to that community’s food bank, said Morris. The drive is non-denominational and is supported by a host of area churches , as well as community organizations, businesses and the general public.

Fox succumbed to cancer June 28, 1981, but a song Shepperd wrote in 1980 in honour of Fox’s attempt to run across Canada and raise money for cancer research continues to resonate with people today. That song Shepperd penned is called Good Luck Terry Fox, something he did shortly after Fox’s iconic effort to run across Canada was stalled at Thunder Bay due to a cancer relapse. “I was living in Thunder Bay at the time and was really moved by what he was trying to do,” Shepperd recalled.

and Shepperd moved on to writing other songs while earning a living as a musician in the Toronto and Hamilton areas. Shepperd was born in Newfoundland to a family of 20, and his dad bought him a guitar when he was 13. Music has been a part of his life ever since. He moved to Kelowna with his wife 14 years ago and is largely retired but still plays a few gigs. Their two kids have also grown up and both now live in Armstrong. It was the Armstrong connection that revived Shepperd’s recording relationship to the Terry Fox song. First, he learned last year from a friend that the song was inducted into the Canadian Museum of Music in Ottawa, an honour that Shepperd was not even aware of. Then at a party thrown by a friend of his in Armstrong last year who owns the local golf course, Shepperd crossed paths with Leo Budnyk, a resident of Fort St. John who owns a hotel in that community among other varied business interests. Budnyk is a big supporter of the Terry Fox
BOBBY Shepperd in his Kelowna home recording studio. Run, and when he learned that Shepperd had written a song about Fox, he asked him to play it. “I sang a couple of verses and the man was really touched, literally in tears,” Shepperd recalled. Budnyk excused himself for a moment, and then returned to the party and gave Shepperd a cheque for $1,000 to cover the costs to record the song again on a CD. “I wasn’t sure what to make of it at first. I had never met the man before that night and then he gives me this cheque to record the song,” Shepperd said. “I think I looked
at the cheque for three months before realizing what he was asking was legitimate.” So Shepperd recorded a new version of the song at Music City Studio in Kelowna, supported by musicians Mitchell Howanyk on violin and Billy Wiseman on bodhran and background vocals last year. Dale Sali contributed the artwork to the CD. In December, Shepperd had a rough cut cassette version of the recording, and sent it to his Armstrong friend and Budnyk, who were both down south in Yuma, Arizona. “Nobody had a cassette player, so they went FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice out and bought an old In the September 6 flyer, on popup page 5, the Cadillac with a cassette Yamaha 7.2-Channel Networking Multi-Zone Receiver player just so they could (Webcode: 10210824) should have been advertised listen to the song,” Shepwith the disclaimer, "available in select stores only." perd laughed.

NEWS ▼ BC HYDRO
Proposed rate increase floated B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has denied reports that BC Hydro rates are poised to go up more than 26 per cent in the next two years. Bennett was peppered with questions Wednesday after one of BC Hydro’s unions released an internal BC Hydro document suggesting a 19 per cent rate increase next year and another six per cent the following year. The compounding effect would produce an increase of 26.4 per cent over two years, which would impact Hydro customers in West Kelowna. Bennett said the document was prepared for a ministry committee working with BC Hydro on electricity rates, and has
been revised three times since the leaked version was created in August. He said the committee has found ways to reduce the rate increases needed to cover extensive construction and other costs for the utility, but he wouldn’t put a number on the prospective rate increases. The work includes identifying 19 independent power projects whose power purchase agreements are to either be cancelled or deferred. NDP energy critic John Horgan said BC Liberal interference has led to the current situation. “Expensive private power contracts, billions in Hydro debt hidden in deferral accounts,
a sidelining of the independent B.C. Utilities Commission, an 84 per cent cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line,” Horgan said. “There is no question that the Liberal government has mismanaged BC Hydro.” Bennett acknowledged that the government’s 2011 intervention to cap rate increases below four per cent for two years has increased the pressure on today’s
rates. BC Hydro had been proposing rate hikes of more than nine per cent for 2012 and 2013. “I think we are feeling the impact of decades of difficult decisions by successive governments, Socreds, NDP, BC Liberal,” Bennett said. “All of us have difficulty looking the ratepayer directly in the eye and saying, by the way, we’re going to increase your rates by X.”
Inaugural Run in Colour fundraiser for KGH Foundation drawing a crowd More than 500 participants, which include 60 team entries, are already registered for the inaugural Grant Thornton 5K Run in Colour taking place Saturday, Sept. 21. “This truly is a community event and we’ve had very enthusiastic support from students at UBC Okanagan and Okanagan College as well as from families with young kids wanting to have a meaningful yet fun experience,” said Doug Rankmore, CEO of Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, organizers of the event. “Our goal is to attract more than 1,000 participants supported by approximately 250 volunteers.” As the KGH Foundation is a non-profit organization, this ‘colour
run’ is different from many others in that all funds raised will provide support for much-needed equipment and patient care and comfort at the hospital and other care facilities such as Brookhaven Care Home, Cottonwoods Extended Care Home, David Lloyd-Jones Home, Three Links Manor and the Central Okanagan Hospice House. The route for the event, which starts and ends at Celebration Plaza in Waterfront Park, is online at www.5krunincolour.com. The run starts at 10 a.m. The entry fee of $45. Prizes will be awarded for the most unique team and individual runner costumes. For more information see www.facebook.com/ GrantThornton5kRunInColour.

▼ OUR VIEW
A matter of mobility
A
proposal to regulate the use of motorized mobility aids—moto be debated at next month’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention – seems, at first blush, to make some sense. Most of us have probably seen instances of these personal vehicles being mishandled by users, raising legitimate concerns about their own and others’ safety. There are those who operate them too fast, or without due consideration, on pedes-
trian walkways. Others, apparently unaware of traffic patterns around them, have shown a propensity for operating the aids on the road, or making sudden, ill-advised dashes into crosswalks. That said, mandatory licensing and regulation may be the proverbial case of fixing something that isn’t broken. After all, these aren’t simply vehicles. For many, they are a replacement for legs, a crucial element in their independence and ability to get around.
And, as far as we know, there are no plans to similarly regulate people using their legs on public walkways…yet. This issue seems to have stemmed from a 2008 provincial coroner’s recommendation, after three seniors died in collisions on Vancouver Island. But it would behoove those arguing either side to have an accurate picture of the scope of the problem today. Before making a rash decision, further study is needed— not just of those who use these
mobility aids irresponsibly, but those who operate them without incident. There is also the question of how, exactly, we would deal with guests from other jurisdictions where such licensing is not required. Do we offer onthe-spot testing or training, perhaps offering an “L” or an “N” to visiting dignitaries? If the majority of mobility-aid users are operating them responsibly, there can be few reasons for mandatory licensing—other than as a new source of cash for government.

Feds provide back to school tax relief for students, families
T
he September long weekend has come and gone and most families are back into the routine of work and school. For those attending post-secondary school, back to school means one more step toward achieving the goal of finding a good job after graduation. In Canada, education has long been viewed as a means to a secure future for individuals and as a key driver of long-term economic prosperity for the country.
In fact, as global economies become increasingly competitive, post-secondary education holds the key to maintaining Canada’s edge in the global Ron marketplace. The good news is, Cannan according to a recent study published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Canada ranks first among OECD countries in the proportion of adults with post-secondary education. In order to maintain this high level of education among Canadians, our
MP’S REPORT
government will continue to support effective tax policies that are designed to make post-secondary education accessible and affordable for students. For instance, students can claim tuition fees paid to a university, college, or other educational institution in Canada for courses taken at the post-secondary level, including tuition fees paid for courses certified by Employment and Social Development Canada to develop or improve skills in an occupation. Students can claim an education amount of $400 for each whole or part month in the year in which they are enrolled full-time in a qualifying educational program, or $120
per month for part-time enrolment in a specified educational program, at a designated educational institution. And students can also claim a textbook amount of $65 for each month where they qualify for the full-time education amount or $20 for each part-time month. Last year alone, Canadian students and their families claimed more than $11 billion in financial assistance. I encourage any new or returning post-secondary students attending a Canadian college or university, including UBC Okanagan, Okanagan College or any of the programs at one of our local certified educational insti-
tutes, to make sure you are receiving all the educational tax relief to which you are entitled. More information on tuition, education, and textbook tax credits, and other information specifically for students is available on the Canada Revenue Agency’s website at www.cra. gc.ca/students . More than ever, learning is vital to our individual and collective futures and is a lifelong pursuit. As they say, when we stop learning, we stop living.

▼ ICBC RATE INCREASE
Good drivers are lumped in with bad To the editor: ICBC recently applied for a 4.9 per cent rate hike to basic vehicle insurance coverage, an increase that comes on the heels of an 11 per cent increase in 2012. The organization sites rising bodily injury claims with higher payouts from the many turning to lawyers to represent them to dispute insurance payouts. They also note the increase in claims as a result of drivers distracted by smart phones. In a follow up column in the Capital News (B.C. Could Be First to Ban Cell Phone Use While Driving, Sept. 5), Mr. Paul Hergott provides his take on this recent news, reminding us all that we can raise our voices to our elected officials and call for stiffer penalties for those who risk the lives of others while driving distracted. He notes that with a stroke of a pen an allout ban on cell phone use
while driving could be implemented. I agree with Mr. Hergott that this is likely what it will take to stop the irresponsible drivers out there from recklessly endangering the rest of us and as a result siphoning money from our wallets. The problem is, I still can’t help but be angry over this new rate hike. Many people, myself included drive only on occasion, choosing to use our vehicles when needed for major errands and trips out of town while walking, biking and taking transit when possible. For a driver like myself who averages only about 7,000 km a year, I fall well below the provincial average for total annual kilometers driven, and when I drive I apply my full attention to the task, driving responsibly and aware. So, why is it that I should pay nearly the same as someone who drives 25,000 km a year or those who chronically
drive distracted or just plain irresponsibly? I’m less of a risk to the public and to ICBC yet I continue to pay for others to drive more and those who drive recklessly. While banning cell phone use and increasing penalties for infractions is a good step, maybe it’s time to also consider an evolution of the insurance model in B.C. Distance based insurance (also called pay as you drive or per-mile insurance) can serve to level the playing field while, as cited by The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (VTPI), help to achieve many public policy objectives such as equity, road safety, consumer savings and choice, congestion reduction energy saving and environmental protection. The VTPI’s paper on the subject (available online) finds that distance-based insurance is both economically and technically feasible and
that the model can provide significant benefits to motorists and society as a whole. The paper outlines the benefits and challenges associated with implementation of this insurance pricing model while providing an analysis of the relationship between vehicle kilometers traveled and crash rates and consideration for how this form of insurance could be integrated into the existing model. The paper provides information and evidence that there may not be the expected increase in rates for those who drive professionally or those who reside in rural areas (those who by virtue of location must drive more often) as distance traveled would be compared to the average within any particular rate classification. So those who drive more than the average within their rate class would pay more while those who drive less (as I do) would
pay less (more ‘actuarially accurate’ as the Policy Institute states). A more dramatic increase in insurance costs for those who drive distracted, intoxicated, or plain dangerously is yet another means by which to more equitably recoup the higher claims costs ICBC is experiencing (or just take their licenses away for good). In addition, maybe all of us could help to reduce the mindset that a vehicular accident and subsequent court battle with ICBC is a socially acceptable cash grab to some. This mind set should not be tolerated. The majority of those injured in accidents simply wish to seek damages that they are entitled to but in some cases, with the help of lawyers some walk away with more than justifiable compensation.

Researching the story of Nickelplate ski area The dream of a cross country ski area in the South Okanagan took shape sometime around 1987. Fortuitously, at about the same time, Penticton was awarded the 1990 BC Winter Games and the dream began changing into the reality of today. The 25th anniversary of Nickelplate is happening next year, in 2014, at the same time as Penticton is hosting another B.C. Winter Games.
The nordic society has arranged to have the story of Nickelplate written and, as a long-time club member, I have agreed to take on the task. The story of Nickelplate is not just dates, names of people, budgets and balance sheets. It is also about excitement, tension, vision, humour, frustration, danger, paperwork and sweat. Bureaucracies had to be understood, and bold steps had to be taken
to make what exists today, one of the finest cross country parks in B.C. As often happens when a project such as this is born and nurtured to growth, keeping records and stories and events, even club newsletters and old minutes from AGMs was often overlooked. Research has now begun on the story and I am interested in hearing from anyone who has a story or document, incident or photograph that

Common sense before there’s a third world war To the editor: Much kudos to Capital News for the Sept. 5 excellent opinion piece: Political Theatre Scary and Absurd. I lived in America during the very oppressive Bush regime after 9/11, and I marched against the coming war in Iraq. I saw right through the specious claims that were made by the Bush administration. The irresponsibility of the media was absolutely appalling at that time. The atmosphere in the US was rife with fear, panic and warmongering. Now it’s déjà vu all
over again. Instead of Colin Powell and his lies, substitute current Secretary of State John Kerry. It is absolutely mystifying to me how the US thinks that hurling a few cruise missiles into the civil war arena that is Syria will do anything to deter the Assad regime from further aggression. It still hasn’t been made clear if a faction of the rebels were also responsible for chemical attacks on their own people, particularly as there is now a report of Saudi Arabia providing chemical weapons to some of the rebels.
But whoever is responsible for these atrocities, American military intervention is certainly not the answer. The West has shown a colossal ignorance of the thinking, customs and culture of the Middle East as it has stomped its way through war-torn region, country after country. Trying to drag the Middle East into the 21st century is an essay in futility, arrogance and downright too little too late. Thank you Capital News for having the guts to tell us what common sense dictates, before we are
plunged into a possible third world war.

ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott found someone who I continue to be excited about spending my life with who, I can only hope, feels at least somewhat the same way about me.
There are many people in my life who are not so fortunate. For some, they thought they had found a life partner but the relationship faded and ended. For others, their spouses have passed away. Young, single folk seem to have it easy. Sure, some might be falling into less than ideal relationships, but it’s comparatively easy to find a relationship when
you’re at the beginning of your adult life, unburdened by the inevitable “baggage” that we pick up along the way. By the time we get to be my age, in our 40s and 50s, we have all sorts of baggage. Many of us have children, many of us are far less physically fit and attractive than we were when we entered our adult lives. And all of us carry the emotional scars that
inevitably shape us as we move through life experiences. The “package” we present to prospective mates is a less attractive one. Likewise, the pool of prospective mates is less attractive to us. Many people never find that relationship that they’re looking for. Those people have suffered a loss—the loss of the tremendous emotional benefits of a loving
Ducks in a Row? Several months ago I came across a fantastic fable penned by Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. It was set in an imaginary kingdom populated entirely by ducks. The ducks were ruled by a duck king. The king lived in an elaborate palace located on the shore of Duck Lake. The duck king built a beautiful church for his subjects. The duck church was graced by a beautiful pipe organ. The king appointed a duck pastor, organist and choir director to oversee the church. Every Sunday, all the ducks gathered in the church for a service. The duck choir led all the ducks assembled, in hymns which they quacked at the top of their voices. Then the choir quacked an anthem which always inspired awe and praise from the congregation. The duck singing was always followed by a sermon from the duck pastor.
the tough no-nonsense cop “Dirty Harry”. Harry’s advice to anyone who had suffered a defeat, and to those who watched the spectacle, was always this: “A man’s got to know his limitations.” The crook lost and Harry won because Harry knew that the criminals he defeated did not know their limitations. Harry knew that most criminals were thoroughly convinced that they had what it took to fly like an eagle. They believed they had what it took to pull off the most difficult robbery or burglary and get away with it. Harry took advantage of a criminal’s inflated sense of self and ability to defeat them. The moral to Harry’s story: If you want to avoid defeat, you must believe you have limits, that you must know your limits and then live within them. Keep your feet firmly on the ground or floating in the water!
The pastor always reminded the congregation that they were ducks. As ducks, they were built and designed to live on the land and on the water. He reminded them that their wings were short and their bodies and necks were long. Their wings, he would remind them, were painfully utilitarian. They were built to get them from “Point A” to “Point B” and very slowly at that. He declared that, as a result of their design and their attitude as “ true ducks”, they were most always more content to waddle or paddle from place to place. Then came the crescendo to his sermon.
There are many things that keep me on the ground or just swimming on the surface of Duck Lake and convince me that I don’t have the wings to soar. I am convinced my wings are short and stubby. I am weighted down by many things. It’s the times I tried to fly and failed that keep me on the ground. The times I was sure that God wanted me to undertake a program or preach a certain message. The program flopped, and the message that I believed would spark a fire of passion for Jesus created more smoke than flame and heat. The good I wanted to do, I did not do. The evil I wanted to avoid, I ended up doing. There are other memories that weigh me down. Memories of times when I was hurt by others and times I hurt others. All these keep me on land and on the water and out of the skies. What can I do?
“But God,” he quacked in a loud voice, “has indeed given us wings and thus declares that He wants us to fly.” He went on: “God promises that if we just spread our wings and have faith in Him, a miracle will occur. He will lift us up and we will fly above the earth like eagles! Amen!”
The service would end with a rousing hymn that the choir and the congregation would quack with great feeling and gusto. The duck pastor would pronounce a benediction upon the congregation and conclude: “Now go out and fly like eagles.”
Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
Every week the duck congregation would just waddle out of church and waddle and paddle through their week.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:27-31)
Ever feel like one of those ducks? Ever hear a speaker or watch a movie that stirs you to your very soul, that convinces you that all you ever do is waddle through life, and that makes you want to fly like an eagle? Yet in the end, that feeling ebbs and wanes and we go right back to waddling and paddling through life. Why?
The Prophet Isaiah spoke these words to God’s people who had been in captivity in Babylon for some 70 years. Isaiah promised the people God was going to get them back to the Holy Land. They did not believe it. They declared that they were ducks. They could not waddle back home. Isaiah promised them that God would get them home; God would give them eagles’ wings. God moved the heart and mind of a pagan King, and God’s people were sent with His blessings to the Promised Land. The king cleared their path and gave them all they needed for safe and easy passage to the Holy Land.
The response of the duck congregation was always the same: “Praise God and halleluiah! With God’s help we can fly like eagles.”
I can tell you why it happens to me. I am thoroughly convinced that I am a duck. I am thoroughly convinced that all I am able to do is waddle through life. Clint Eastwood preached to us ducks in his iconic role as
All the burdens that kept them in place were lifted and they could fly like eagles. God has done the same for you and me. He wants us to soar like eagles. But first, He wants us to confess that we are ducks. He wants us to confess that our wings are short and stubby. He wants us to say that our hurts and failures, our depression and anger, and all the sins we have committed, keep us down on the ground. He wants to hear us say that we want to soar like eagles but that we can’t do it, not on our own. Then we are pointed to Jesus. He became one of us, a duck. He challenged His fellow ducks to believe they could fly like eagles. He challenged them to see that what kept them down was all the burdens they bore, their sins, toils and cares. He promised to take their burdens from them and give them the power to soar like eagles. Some ducks accused Jesus of lying. They abused Him and placed a great weight on Him (a cross)and shoved Him into Duck Lake. He sank like stone and died. The cross they put on Jesus’ back, the evil they deeds they carried out, God turned into the weight of the world’s sin. In this way, Jesus bore the sin of humanity and paid the price for all sin. Jesus did not remain in the murky waters; He arose from the watery deep. On eagle’s wings, He ascended to the heavens and promised to be the wind beneath the wings of all ducks who believe that He is the Son of God, that He bore our sin, died and rose to new life. He promised to walk and swim with us today, and when we sink into Duck Lake, to rescue us and fly us to heaven, the real Promised Land. On this side of eternity, our sinful side will keep us convinced we are just overburdened ducks with stubby wings and for those reasons, we can’t soar like eagles. We will mostly just waddle and paddle through life. However, there are times when God’s Word and Jesus’ presence will break through, and Jesus lifts us up and we fly like eagles. God’s Word is preached, and Jesus is present, every Sunday morning at 9:00 and 10:30 at Grace. Come join us. We may sit in our pews like ducks in a row but Jesus can transform us and we can leave on an eagle’s wing. Take the risk!
and supportive life partner. There is another loss—a financial one. The financial differences between being single and having a spouse can be huge. One obvious financial impact is that spouses get to share the expense of one residence while single people must each finance separate residences. A study I found quickly online compared what a single woman would pay over her lifetime as compared to a married woman who earns the same income. The study concluded that a single woman could pay an extra $1,022,096 (The High Price of Being Single in America, written by Lisa Arnold and Christina Campbell). What if one of the reasons why your relationship has faded and ended, or one of the elements of “baggage” getting in the way of you developing a new relationship, is a chronic pain condition that arose because of injuries you sustained when a daydreaming driver smashed his or her vehicle into the back of yours? Can you be compensated for that loss? It is impossible to say with absolute certainty that your chronic pain condition is the cause of the loss of, or inability to form, such a relationship. It is also impossible to precisely calculate the
dollars and cents you have lost, and will continue to lose in the future. The law requires a negligent driver (through his or her insurance company) to fairly compensate an innocent victim for all losses arising from that negligence. This includes the very real financial loss arising from a reduced ability to attract a mate. The cause and effect need not be proven with absolute certainty. The amount of the loss need not be precisely calculated. If the court (judge or jury) finds that an injured victim has a “reduced opportunity” to develop such a relationship, the law requires the court to come to a “fair and reasonable” assessment of the financial losses arising from that reduced opportunity. These losses, and all other losses arising from car crashes would be avoided, of course, if everyone simply gave driving the direct and distraction-free attention that it deserves. 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.

George Elliot also expected to get portables Minister from A1 The school district is also planning to create a second, smaller portable city for use at George Elliott Secondary in Lake Country, where a similar grade reconfiguration will take place to handle growth in that area. The new portables for Lake Country are coming from the south Okanagan where they were used before Oliver high school was rebuilt after fire destroyed it a few years ago. The Central Okanagan School District got the new portables for free. OKM currently has 1,068 students and principal Leanne Zorn said that number is expected to rise by nearly 300 next year.

Crown outlines its case in Verma murder trial Drug from A1 During her opening statement, Treddenick said the owner of the truck Verma allegedly got stuck was missing a green plaid jacket and men’s running shoes when his vehicle was returned. Hodder also testified he spotted a “hole” in the left hip/pelvic area of Irving’s body when officers
found her. The Crown suggested during their opening statement that Irving was shot once in the pelvis, once in the side and twice in the back. Police also testified this week that shotgun shells were seized from the area where Irving’s body was found. However, Const. Russell didn’t know if other offi-
cers sent the items for forensic testing to confirm if they were significant to the case. Before Irving’s body was discovered, police had already found Irving’s blue Ford Explorer abandoned in another rural area off Highway 33. Corp. Jamie Tretiak said Irving’s vehicle was found April 7, 2010—a day after she was last seen
alive—in a parking lot off Philpott Road. Among the items seized from the vehicle were two cell phones, which were eventually given to an RCMP employee to extract data, the court heard. Verma is charged with first degree murder in the death of Irving. The trial is expected to last six to seven weeks.

Confidence gets big talent to play on album Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
When Jenn Grant wrote In a Brown House, one of the first songs on her first album, she was thinking of Ron Sexsmith’s haunting melodic Canadian folk-pop tunes. A longtime fan who had been playing his albums in the house, not to mention on the car stereo for road trips, for many years, it was Sexsmith she envisioned as she put pen to paper after a Juno party and began writing about two curly brown-haired boys. “We met because I emailed him and asked him to sing on my record,” she says with rockstar confidence when asked about their impending tour. When he agreed to lend his voice to the song as her accompaniment, it marked the start of a pro-
fessional relationship and friendship that’s still going strong several years later. Hence, the pair will play the Kelowna Community Theatre just before Thanksgiving, bringing a taste of two music scenes, the East Coast and Toronto flavours, to town in the form of musicians who meld beautifully, but are true standouts in their generations and geographic musical dens. Where Sexsmith’s career could be characterized as a long, very slow build that took decades to earn him a Juno, Grant’s is more of a quick hit with four albums to her credit, though she’s only in her early 30s. She has been long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize and shortlisted for the 2012 Juno Awards and won Pop Recording of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards for her latest album, The Beautiful Wild, this

Riddick-ulous waste of time, not even a ‘best line’ Lots to RIDDICK Apparently this is the third in the Riddick franchise. Of course, we were all considerably younger, since the first one opened in theatres about 15 years ago. Since then, we’ve seen Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. In this latest rendering, Riddick (Vin Diesel) is left for dead on a dry, scorched planet. After activating an emergency
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen beacon, he finds himself fighting new dangers in the form of mercenaries and snake-like alien predators. This was filmed in
Montreal, although having lived there, I can’t think where in that city this would have been filmed—it sure wasn’t Westmount! Diesel is his bulked up best physically, but if you think this is a ‘must see,’ you couldn’t be more wrong. Not even close! The acting is awful, the storyline is weak, and there is no real drama. We do get the unmistakable feeling that (say it isn’t so)
Hollywood is planning yet another in this series. Having said that, this weekend saw Riddick bring in over $17 million and bounce The Butler to second place. Go figure. Joining Diesel is Spanish born Jordi Molla as Santana, Matt Nable, a former Rugby League player as Boss Johns and Katee Sackoff, who has a few sci-fi films under her belt, as Dahl. This is where I usually
include the “best line,” but nope, there wasn’t one. If you’re a big fan of hulky Diesel, then go see it, but personally I’d wait for something with more sophistication or just go see the Smurf movie. Riddick has all the excitement of the reptile cage at the zoo and it has no heroes. I’m not kidding, you won’t root for anyone. In fact, as the show goes on, you end up hoping that it will just end
somehow, and you can salvage some part of your evening. So I can only give this one reel and that’s for the interesting dingo/zebra thing that Diesel takes as a pet.

MOVIE GUY M
Rick Davis Much to the chagrin of the CIA agent (Tommy Lee Jones) trying to keep them in line, the family (including his wife played by Michelle Pfeiffer) revert to old habits to solve their problems and blow their cover. Chaos ensues in the most unlikely of places as former mafia cronies track them down. Speaking of cronies, Martin Scorsese serves as producer on The Family, but it is director Luc Besson who is the real star behind the camera. Best described as France’s Spielberg, Besson has been a director, producer and/or writer on more than 50 films, most notably directing classics like The Big Blue, La Femme Nikita, The Professional, The Fifth Element, Arthur and the Invisibles and producing the likes of The Transporter and Taken movies. Two years ago Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne starred in the modestly-budgeted fright flick Insidious, from famed horror director James Wan (Saw) and producer Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity). The movie grossed almost $100 million worldwide and became the most profitable film of 2011. Therefore Insidious: Chapter 2 was inevitable and with both Wilson and Byrne returning to star, and Wan back as director, it is certain to be another hit. It picks up where the first movie left off, with

The movie follows Grant through his final hours as he crosses paths with friends, family and strangers as he ponders how he can be a better son to his mother, a better partner to his girlfriend and better father to his four-year-old daughter. Star Michael B. Jordan (Chronicle, Red Tails) is getting raves for is performance as is Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer (The Help) as his mother.

▼ GARDENING
Kiwi plants in your garden a great conversation topic
I
have no idea how the darn birds know just when my grapes are at their perfect ripeness. They must have scouts out testing for sweetness then when the grapes are just right they send out an all points bulletin to let the entire flock know. In about three weeks, my kiwi will begin to ripen and, thank goodness, for some reason the birds aren’t interested in them; at least not up to this point. You never know when they might clue in to one of the best tasting fruits on the planet. Ten years ago I planted two female and one male kiwi vine and have harvested fruit for the past eight seasons. Over the past three years, with the help of my good friend Sal Caruso, I have budded in some other varieties including a more prolific male he calls Chuck. So I should be really getting some interesting production in the next year or two. There are two common species of Kiwi Actinidia reliably hardy to the Okanagan—A kolomikta and A arguta. The kolomikta is often referred to the Arctic kiwi or Russian gooseberry and is the hardier of the two. In fact, it is grown quite successfully in many prairie regions. There is a variety called ‘Assai’ which is self-pollinating which comes in handy when space is limited. On the other hand, I find this species to be somewhat small in fruit size and premature drop is quite common. I prefer to grow the arguta species of which
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett there are several varieties such as Anna, Red Princess, Hardy Red, Ken’s Red and Chanbay. They are hard to find in local nurseries but sometimes can be ordered through specialty nurseries on the net. All are great varieties although each one can be separated from the other according to size colour flavour and productivity. I recommend choosing an arguta type rather than the kolomikta and you can find them in the local garden centres. I’ve seen them at Bylands as well as Dogwood. Kiwi are vines just like grapes so a similar infrastructure is needed to support them. Posts placed three meters apart with two taut wires between them at the two- and five-foot height is an ideal way to support your kiwi vine. The vines should be planted at least six feet apart. My friend Sal has his climbing over an overhead pergola type structure and this seems to make better use of the space. Kiwis are easy to grow, have no known insect or disease concerns and can be used for privacy purposes. You don’t see too many grown here in the Okanagan yet so having this beautiful, tasty fruit in your garden can be a great conversation piece. Kiwi jam and jelly is

Susanne feels the YMCA’s Prenatal Wellness program gave her and her new baby the best start possible!
Prenatal Wellness Susanne’s Story I wanted to share with you my experience with the Prenatal Wellness program the YMCA offers. My husband and I were super excited to be expecting our first child but were also in uncharted waters. The list of questions I had went on and on. What can I expect with pregnancy? What exercises should I be doing? What foods should I be avoiding? Then I discovered that a program called YMCA Prenatal Wellness could answer these questions plus offer a fitness component for soon to be moms. Nadine and Christine were the instructors and they were awesome! Nadine has seven (yep 7!) of her own kids and Christine is now pregnant with their second so they definitely had valuable information to share. I have to say, for me, it was so nice to sit down with other expectant moms and just talk about what we were experiencing, what our fears were, and everything else that comes along with being pregnant for the first time. Nadine discussed everything from our new financial concerns to what foods to steer clear of while pregnant. And of course we asked A LOT of questions. Christine always had fun and safe exercises prepared for us. I looked forward to each session and I have to say I was sad when the program came to an end. I would highly recommend any newly expectant moms check out the program as it helped ease my fears, got me out of the house to exercise, and it was great talking with other women in the same boat. I had a lot of fun! Prenatal Wellness is offered Tuesdays from 6-8pm at the Kelowna Family YMCA. Y & H2O Members: Free / Public Drop-in Fee: $7.50.

McKinlay signs in ECHL When Dylen McKinlay came to the Kelowna Rockets last season, he was an unknown commodity. But together with fellow 20-year-olds Cody Fowlie and JT Barnett, McKinlay helped to stabilize a young Rockets team and had a solid final campaign in the WHL. Now the Langley native has turned that into a contract with the ECHL’s Utah Grizzlies. Grizzlies head coach and GM Tim Branham announced that the team has agreed to terms with McKinlay for the 20132014 season.
McKinlay, 21, joins Utah for his rookie season after a season that saw him score 24 goals and 44 assists for 68 points in 72 games with the Rockets last year. He was fourth in the WHL with a plus-55. He was third on his team in scoring, led the Rockets in plus-minus and was tied for second in the league with six shorthanded goals. He was originally drafted by the Minnesota Wild in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. “Dylen is a dynamic player,” said Branham. “He is great at both ends

Patience with Rockets D corps nets rewards Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For the last three seasons, the Kelowna Rockets have exercised patience and tolerance in the nurturing and development of their defensive corps. In 2013-14, with dues paid and growing pains mostly in the past, the
Western Hockey League club is ready to reap the dividends. “We feel the back end is the strength of our team,” said Rockets’ assistant coach Dan Lambert. “When you look at it, we’ve now been playing with most of these guys for three years at least. Certainly we’ve had our growing pains over the
years but these guys, in my opinion, have all taken huge strides in every aspect of their games. “Hopefully this year we’re going to see some rewards for staying patient, and for them for all the hard work they’ve put in.” Led by the likes Damon Severson and Madison Bowey, the Rock-
ets are expected to return their entire defensive group in 2013-14. Developing players from within the system has been a longstanding philosophy of the Rockets, with this year’s blue line corps as a prime example. Seven of the nine defensemen on the current roster are the club’s WHL
draft picks, while the two others were listed by the Rockets. “That’s what we try to do is build and develop from within,” said Rockets’ head scout and assistant GM Lorne Frey. “I think we’ve been pretty fortunate to get some of See Rockets D A25

Throng turns out for inaugural Wine Country Half Marathon
More than 1,000 runners took to the streets of Kelowna Saturday for the Inaugural Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon. Sergio Reyes, of Palmdale, Calif., and Kimberley Doerksen, of Gibsons, won the men’s and women’s titles resspectively in the 21.1 km -run, which began at the wVibrant Vine Winery then 4meandered past vineyards, farms and apple orchards, before taking runners onto the Mission Creek Greenway. m The final six km of the course took runners along dOkanagan Lake to the finish at Waterfront Park for the post-race Wine and -Music Festival. - Reyes, who has now won five different Wine Country Half complet-Marathons, ed the rolling, winding course in 1:06:19, beating second place finisher Richard Mosley of Coquitlam (1:08:42) and Hans Aabye of West Kelowna (1:14:04). Doerksen ran a time of 1:18:04, defeating second place finisher of Jes-
sica O’Connell, of Calgary, by 40 seconds and Kelowna’s own Christy Lovig who placed third (1:24:26). Reyes, much like the over 1,000 runners who participated, raved about the experience. “This was a real treat to come up here and win this inaugural race in such a beautiful place,” Reyes said. “The course was tricky with all the elevation changes in the first 10K but once I reached the downhill and Greenway, I was able to pull ahead and keep a nice pace to the finish.“ Reyes and Doerksen each received $500, wine and the Riedel Decanter trophy for winning. The morning was overcast and cool, but the sun broke though halfway through the race, providing a picturesque backdrop for the post-race festivities and awards ceremony. ”What a great day we all experienced here in the Okanagan Valley,” said Matt Dockstader, Race Director and President of
Destination Races. “As far as first races go, I don’t think we could have asked for more than what mother-nature and the valley
shared with us today!” Graeme Wilson of Vancouver won the men’s masters division with a time of 1:16:35, while
Susan Loken of Phoenix won the women’s masters with trophy with a time of 1:25:15. The winning team was RUN LIKE

Heat’s Deck wins season-opening tourney Will Deck couldn’t have asked for a better start to his fourth season with the UBC Okanagan golf team. Deck carded a twoday score of 4-under par 140 to capture his first ever PACWEST tournament last weekend at the Morningstar Golf Course in Parksville. On Saturday, Deck
carded a 68, the lowest round of the tournament, to take a four stroke lead. In round two, Deck shot 72 to hold off Dallas Jones from VIU by two strokes for the victory. Cody Bell was next best for the Heat as he carded a 149, good for eighth place. Bell, a management student from Salmon Arm
along with Deck, and sophomore Michael Lee (160) are the three holdovers on the Heat men’s squad from last season. New to the team are Kelowna native James Casorso (160) and Joshua Evans (159) from Calgary. As a team the Heat finished tied for third over the weekend, 13 shots behind the winners, Fraser
Valley. The Heat women, with just two golfers competing at Parskville, finished in fourth place with a twoday total of 375. The team is made entirely of new faces with first year Carolyn Lee finishing three strokes off the pace with a score of 164. Kelsey McGillis finished twelfth as the second female golfer
for UBC Okanagan. The top female golfer was former Heat player Jen Woods, Jen has transferred to UFV and won her eighth PACWEST tournament and also led the Cascades to the women’s team title in Parksville. First year coach for the Heat Cass Hritzuk was extremely pleased with his team in its first weekend of PACWEST play. This weekend the Heat will host the second PACWEST tournament of the year at the Okanagan Golf Club.

Ok Rockets gear up for MML season
D
DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
OKANAGAN Rockets forward Jake Kryski (left) fends of POE’s Zack Andrusiak during the Rockets’ Ice Breaker tournament last weekend at Royal LePage.
With depth at every position, the Okanagan Rockets believe they’ve compiled a roster that can take another serious run at a B.C. Major Midget League title. Last year’s league finalists will carry 20 players into the 2013-14 campaign, including seven returnees. GM David Michaud said experience will be one of the vital ingredients of this year’s Rockets squad. “The biggest thing that stands out is our age; we have 10 17-year-olds, so I would say we’re probably the oldest team in the league,” said Michaud. “Some of that is a byproduct of being so close last year and losing. A lot of our 16-year-olds said they wanted to come back and get it right this time. The success we had also attracted some other guys from around the valley, so we like our team a lot.” At forward, the Rockets will be led by returning captain Brendan Wagner
and Liam Finley, both of whom finished in the top four in BCMML scoring last season. Add in WHL first-rounders Jake Kryski (Prince Albert, traded to Kamloops) and Tyson Jost (Everett), along with former Kelowna midget tier 1 forward Kobe Oishi (74 points) and Michaud said the Rockets will have a dynamic group up front. “I’m over the moon about our forwards,” he said. “The common theme is they all can skate and all have an offensive upside. There’s a nice mix between physicality and skill. One thing I’ve bought into is that speed wins.” Veteran returnees Gen Bryshun and Josh Johnston, along with POE transfer Tanner Browne, will lead the blue line corps. In goal, Reid Kilburn will look to follow up on a stellar rookie season. The Rockets are allnew behind the bench with 25-year-old head coach Mack O’Rourke
being assisted by a veteran of European coaching, Dave Whistle. “This is a good pair of guys to have together,” said Michaud. “Our players have a lot of confidence in them.” As part of the evaluation process for this year’s squad, the Rockets hosted an eight-team pre-season tournament last weekend in West Kelowna. The Rockets went 3-1 with victories over POE, Burnaby and South Delta, and a loss to OHA. The Rockets close out their exhibition season this weekend with two games at CNC— 7 p.m. Friday against the Thompson Blazers and Saturday, 6 p.m. vs Cariboo Cougars. The regular season kicks off Sept. 21 and 22 when the Rockets host the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds.
POE
The Pursuit of Excellence U18 varsity squad posted a 2-2 record at the
Ice Breaker tournament, scoring wins over Kootenay and Compete Hockey Academy, and losing to the host Rockets and Cariboo Cougars. POE head coach Ryan Wade was generally pleased with what he saw as the final roster for 2013-14 is taking shape. “We gave a bunch of different guys a look, a chance to see what they could do at the U18 level,” said Wade, in his second season at the helm. “That’s what this was for, to see how kids react in certain situations. We’re getting close on the roster, we’ve got a couple of decisions to make yet but we’re almost there.” POE’s roster this season will include highly-touted centre Tyler Benson, the first overall pick of the Vancouver Giants in the 2013 WHL bantam draft. POE will play this season in the North American Prospects Hockey League.
Rockets open regular season Sept. 20 Looking forward to playing pro Rockets D from A22 the kids we have, but I think the coaches have done a great job with this group, too. We’ve been patient, stuck with them and they’ve continually gotten better. “You have to have a good D to compete in any league, so we’re going into this season in a pretty good place.” The longest-serving and senior member of the Rockets defense, MacKenzie Johnston, is heading into his fifth and final season with the club. In addition to overall
depth, the Swift Current native considers diversity as another strength of Kelowna’s back-end crew. “We’re definitely lucky to have the group we have,” said Johnston, 19. “We have all different types, guys with lots of experience, guys who are good puck movers like Sever, (Jesse) Lees and Bowey, bigger guys like Mitch (Wheaton) and I… younger guys who really fit into well. “It’s a great group, there’s a real variety, a great mix of guys and I’m looking forward to this season with all of them.”
Still, as solid as the Rockets defensive corps looks on paper, Johnston said he and his teammates still have to deliver those expectations on the ice. “We haven’t played any games yet and we still have to prove ourselves,” Johnston added. “We won’t be satisfied until we get the job done on the ice. We need to show we can live up to the expectations.”

HELEN ANN (MCALPINE) ROACH Born - Oct. 27, 1934, Died - Sept. 8, 2013 Helen passed away peacefully in Kelowna General Hospital as a result of a stroke. She lived determinedly with Parkinson’s disease for over 15 years. She is survived and will be terribly missed by Bill, her loving husband of 60 years, sons Dan, Mike, Chris and Paul, her angel granddaughter Patricia, grandsons Dan (IV) and Anthony and loving, caring daughters in law Roberta, Robyn and Colleen, and her brother John McAlpine. Helen and Bill met and married while they were at the University of Tulsa. In 1954 they moved to the “wilds” of northern Alberta where Helen discovered there wasn’t “a Safeway in every town”. In time they moved to Calgary where they settled for more than 40 years, after which her home on Okanagan Lake in Kelowna with her wonderful gardens where the family spent some 40 summers, became home. Helen was strong of mind, kind of heart, a devoted and tireless mother, student of history, a culinary and horticultural master, lover of fine arts and quiet supporter of charities. She was predeceased by her mother, Bess Jones, her father John McAlpine and her sister Bessie McAlpine. As Helen wanted she will be cremated and there will be a private family funeral mass at Immaculate Conception Church on September 12. This lovely poem by Kendra Tyler expresses Helen’s wish: ‘ To Those I Love And Those Who Loved Me When I am gone, release me, and let me go, I have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourselves to me with tears, Be Happy that we had so many years. I gave to you my Love, but you can only guess, How much you gave to me in Happiness. I thank you for the Love you have shown, But now it’s time I traveled on alone. So grieve awhile for me, if you must. Then let grief be comforted by Trust. It’s only for a short time that we must part, So Bless the Memories with your Heart. I won’t be far away, but Life goes on, So if you need me, Call and I will come. Though you can’t see me or touch me... I’ll be near, With all of my Love around you soft and clear And when this way you must come, I’ll greet you with a smile and a ‘Welcome Home.’ Should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Parkinson’s Association of Canada, 4211 Yonge Street, Suite 316, Toronto, ON M2P 2A9 or a charity of your choice. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Financial experts join forces to create a new firm STRAIGHT FROM DEHART
Maxine DeHart This week’s column is dedicated to a long-time, well-known retired pharmacist Ron Waller, who passed away suddenly on Aug. 31. I can still remember receiving a prescription from Ron at Lakeside Pharmacy (formerly Gant’s Pharmacy) in the Underhill Clinic in the mid 1970s. Whether it was in sports or Kinsman and K-40, Ron gave many years to helping his community. I was honoured to be at his Celebration of Life. Personal condolences to Wendy, his entire family and many friends.

rett Millard, the former managing partner of Thom and Associates, along with Ryan Dawes, Diane Facciotti, Brenda Joyner and Kerry Griffith have started up their own financial business called Speir Wealth Management Inc. (Investia Financial Services). Located at 4-757 KLO Rd., the company is now associated with MGA Wealthlink Financial Services (Terry Wardrop, Gary Wardrop and Mike Mervyn), along with Investia Financial Services. The company offers full service financial planning, life insurance and investment fund management. Call 778-478-4277; www.speirwealth.com.
A landmark in Glenmore, Corbin’s General Store has come alive once again at 525 Snowsell Rd. (former Glenmore Road junction). Now owned and operated by Bruce Brodowich and Karen McLennan, they have hired Jill Demers as store manager. She was formerly with the Tim Hortons location in Glenmore for 15 years. The entire store has been gutted and re-created to look like it’s going back in time with old Coke and Pepsi signs looking like an old fashioned neighbourhood corner store. Corbin’s offers Arcadia Bay coffee and also has a coffee club card for those who travel past the store every day. Also look for ice slushies, root beer floats, the large selection of old fashioned candy, selected groceries and lottery tickets. Parked in their large parking lot are two food trucks; Hermco Street Food (burgers, fries, Philly cheesesteak, tacos and brisket) and Gung Ho (Gyoza’s and poutine). Next spring, they plan to add a farmer’s market in the parking lot area. Check out their Facebook under Corbin’s General Store. Call 778478-4258. They sell trucks!

Call 778-478-7057; buydirecttruckcentre. com. Talk about a milestone! Peter Baker celebrates 40 years working for Acklands Grainger. He started his career in the Lower Mainland working in operations and sales. He then became a manager, sales manager, regional sales manager and now he is back in his element as a safety specialist in Kelowna, relocating here in 2007.
This modest, affable and positive guy started with the company when he was only 18. Call 250491-3181. Well-known Kelowna-born realtor Hugh Mervyn is finally retiring (“finally” was his son’s word, not mine). After being licensed for 45 years, Mervyn was one of the first and longest standing members of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board and is also a past president of the organization. He was a managing partner with Lakeland Realty and spent the last 18 years of his career with Coldwell Banker. Mervyn was also very involved with Kinsmen and K-40. He now has three main goals in life—removing all the re-
maining fish from Okanagan Lake, skiing at Big White and working on his golf slice. Nicolle Gomez de Sous and Julia Garner have joined the sales team at Tourism Kelowna to assist in efforts to sell Kelowna as a meeting, incentive travel and sport event destination. Gomez de Sous will be the new contract business development consultant in Calgary. Garner has replaced Alexa Creelman as sales coordinator locally.

To have raised triple that amount is absolutely amazing and all the people that bought tickets need to be congratulated, as do our co-sponsors: TVA Films, the Bean Scene, the Landmark Paramount Theatre and Bell Media.” More than 350 people attended the premiere and enjoyed appetizers and a glass of House of Rose winery’s Hot Flash wine while watching the movie. “We are honoured to have been the beneficiary of this event and are so grateful for all of those who supported the film showing in Kelowna,” added Shannon Jolley, revenue development coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society in BC and the Yukon.

Despite slipping and falling as she walked down the dock at the Cove Resort to pose for a group photo with her ministers before the closed-door cabinet meeting at the resort, Clark said she was unhurt as a result of the tumble. “I can take a fall,” she said with a smile, adding, “we have soft wood here.”

Alleged drug deal at heart of Irving murder CAPITAL NEWS

Brittney Irving was scrambling to collect marijuana to fill a drug order the day she was shot four times, allegedly by the man who she was dating and assembling the order with, Crown counsel submitted during their opening statement in the Joelon Verma murder trial Tuesday. Irving, who was “stressed” about paying legal fees stemming from her arrest for growing marijuana in March 2010, allegedly contacted Verma by text about needing to make more money and was putting together a large pot deal with Verma on April 6, 2010, said Crown counsel Mallory Treddenick. That day, she collected 50 pounds of marijuana—worth an estimated $100,000—and, according to text messages, was supposed to meet with Verma,
said Treddenick. The Crown says the last time Irving’s phone was used was at 1:53 p.m. that day, when she wrote a text, allegedly to Verma, saying “On route babe. See you in 10.” The Crown alleges that Verma later called his cousin Jason Labonte to help him after he got a truck stuck in the mud. Labonte eventually took officers to a sideroad off McCulloch Forest Service Road and pointed out where he helped pull out the truck, said Const. Tim Russell. Russell returned with other officers—and a dog handler—on April 26, 2010. Police service dog Talon found Irving’s body in the woods about 10 minutes after they began searching, testified dog handler Const. Robert Hodder. She was lying on her back and “appeared to be
Brittney Irving wearing clothes that didn’t fit her,” said Hodder. The running shoes were “obviously too big” and she was also wearing a men’s work-style shirt, testified Hodder. During her opening statement, Treddenick said the owner of the truck Verma allegedly got stuck was missing a green plaid jacket and men’s running shoes when his vehicle was

returned. Hodder also testified he spotted a “hole” in the left hip/pelvic area of Irving’s body when officers found her. The Crown suggested during their opening statement that Irving was shot once in the pelvis, once in the side and twice in the back. Police also testified this week that shotgun shells

were seized from the area where Irving’s body was found. However, Const. Russell didn’t know if other officers sent the items for forensic testing to confirm if they were significant to the case. Before Irving’s body was discovered, police had already found Irving’s blue Ford Explorer abandoned in another rural area off Highway 33. Corp. Jamie Tretiak said Irving’s vehicle was found April 7, 2010—a day after she was last seen alive—in a parking lot off Philpott Road. Among the items seized from the vehicle were two cell phones, which were eventually given to an RCMP employee to extract data, the court heard. Verma is charged with first degree murder in the death of Irving. The trial is expected to last six to seven weeks. edit@kelownacapnews.com

source officer. Const. Sherri Lund recently reported to council about some of her experiences following her first full academic year as school resource officer for West Kelowna and Peachland schools. In her first year, Lund was involved in 78 school-related police files, including six criminal investigations resulting in charge requests including assault, sexual interference, sexual assault, theft, possession of stolen property and arson. Lund issued seven bylaw offence notices for drug paraphernalia and fighting, assisted members in missing persons files by speaking with students and participated in one critical incident response.
The school resource officer also provided the SOAR program, which focuses on substance misuse prevention, to three elementary schools, ran the Lunching with the Law program for all elementary schools, patrolled school zones during peak hours and provided talks on a variety of topics at all schools in the area. The school liaison officer position was created by the district after Mount Boucherie students articulated the need for an RCMP presence in a 2011 presentation to council. “Council went through quite a process of putting this position in place. We were encouraged to do it by a number of folks,” said Mayor Doug Findlater.
“I’m really glad we did; it’s turned out to be a very positive thing…way beyond expectations.” Lund said the majority of her time was spent at Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary, dealing with some of the issues facing high school students. The school resource officer explained to council that one of the biggest issues she continues to deal with is regularly occurring bush parties, which often result in criminal investigations of assault and impaired driving. “We’ve noticed most of (the parties) are in the Trepanier and Shannon Lake areas,” said Lund, adding residents are encouraged to call West Kelowna RCMP if they see youth partying in the
bush. Another concern of Lund’s is ongoing bullying and cyber bullying complaints. “It’s quite a huge problem, something I spend a lot of my time on. “It’s slow to get (information)…students are scared to come forward.” Lund has attempted to improve the situation by educating younger students about cyber bullying and telling parents to be aware of their children’s online presence. Coun. Rick de Jong, whose son attends Mount Boucherie, thanked Lund for her work and said he has noticed “a different atmosphere” at the high school since she came on board. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Wearing a hard hat, Oakley sunglasses and a reflective vest over a grey suit and tie, Education Minister Peter Fassbender walked through the construction site of Mar Jok Elementary in West Kelowna Tuesday morning. He was joined by School District 23 board members and representatives from Sawchuck Developments Co. Ltd., the company responsible for construction of West Kelowna’s newest elementary school. The $13.5-million school, located at the corner of Rosewood Drive and McDougall Road, is expected to open in September 2014.
