Bears close regional park The presence of bears has forced the Regional District of Central Okanagan to close the trails in one park on the Westside. Effective immediately, the main trail at Hardy Falls Regional Park is closed to the public upstream of the first bridge. “Even though bears are often (seen) at this time of year in several of our regional parks, several bears and cubs have taken up residence in Hardy Falls Regional Park, located at the south end of Peachland,” communications co-ordinator Bruce Smith said. “In recent days, there have been more frequent daytime sightings. As a result, in order to keep people safe, we’ve decided to close the formal trail access to the park. “However, all previously scheduled public and school kokanee interpretive tours and weekend interpretive programming will continue along the creek, adjacent to the washroom area of the park, between Renfrew Road and Highway 97.” He added kokanee salmon are spawning in Peachland Creek, which flows through Hardy Falls Regional Park, and the bears are taking advantage of the food source. “Because the main creekside trail meanders along the valley bottom, there are no alternate routes available for people to avoid possible contact
with the bears. So to ensure there are no conflicts, we’ve decided to close the main trail in the park,” said Smith. Signs advising of the closure are in place. Anyone found inside a closed regional park could face a $500 fine. The regional district will consult with the B.C. Conservation Officer Service before reopening the park’s main trail. Evidence of bears is not unusual at this time of year in several regional parks, especially those that provide wildlife corridors to higher elevation areas and those with creeks filled with spawning kokanee. When bears, or evidence of them, is found in a regional park, signs are posted advising park users to use caution. “To reduce your chance of meeting a bear while hiking, it’s recommended that you travel in a group, make noise or carry something that makes noise,” Smith said. “Be aware that bears fishing for food may not hear you over the noise of the creek water. “If you see a bear, give it plenty of space and stay well away from it,” Smith said. People should respect bears, and anticipate and avoid encounters whenever possible. Bears can be aggressive, especially when defending their food or their cubs.

PRIME MINISTER Stephen Harper speaks to a crowd of Conservative Party supporters at Quails’ Gate Estate Winery in West Kelowna Friday.

Prime minister touts government’s record Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke to hundreds of Conservative Party supporters at Quails’ Gate Estate winery Friday evening as part of a barbecue for the B.C. Conservative Caucus. The speech—which didn’t permit questions from the media—focused on the country’s current economic position, a balanced budget in 2015, job creation and a tough-
er criminal justice system. Harper began by speaking about Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, who was also a former MP for Victoria. “Sir John A. spoke to British Columbians about the things that matter: About jobs and prosperity, about Canada united and strong, about economic growth, not grow-ops,” said Harper, which the crowd of supporters responded to with applause. The prime minister
would take another jab at the Liberal Party later in his speech. “The Liberal leader (Justin Trudeau) actually said a couple of weeks ago that he doesn’t have any economic policy. He says he won’t have any for at least a couple of years. “Now I don’t count legalizing the marijuana trade as an economic policy.” Harper spent about 15 minutes listing the Conservative Party’s accomplishments, focusing on

Canada’s economic position compared to the rest of the world. “Under our mandate, in a period of continued economic uncertainty and instability, where nations around the world are being crushed under bank and government debt, Canada has the most solid financial regime in the world. “We have the fastest growth rate in the G7, and we have the lowest debt and we have the lowest national debt, by far.”
During the Prime Minister’s appearance, several protesters assembled on the side of Boucherie Road near the winery, holding signs that illustrated their opposition to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). One man repeatedly chanted: “Kick Harper out.” A PETA member wearing a seal costume also stood on the side of the road, holding a sign that read: “Harper: Stop the seal slaughter.”

Hospice House turns five Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Central Okanagan Hospice House in Kelowna celebrated its fifth anniversary Friday, winning tributes from politicians, staff and, most of all, from the families of people who have spent their last days there. “I don’t find this place depressing at all, it’s a warm and beautiful place,” said Randall Paul, whose wife Anita spent the last few weeks of her life there last year before succumbing to breast cancer. He said he stayed with her, slept on a cot and the volunteers and staff at the house could not have made him more welcome. “Finding a place to live out your last days with dignity and peace should be a fundamental provision of every health care system,” said Paul. Like others who spoke at the anniversary, Paul paid tribute to the volunteers at the hospice house, who he said were wonder-

ful to both his wife and himself during such a difficult time . And, he said, since his wife’s passing he has returned to the house on Ethel Street, to walk in the beautiful garden, which is maintained by volunteers with the Central Okanagan Hospice Association. The association provides close to 200 volunteers who help the residents in their last days as well as maintain the house and garden. For Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray, who led the fundraising drive with Brad Bennett and his wife Bergit, that raised more than $3 million from the community towards the cost of building the house, the facility is more than simply a project he helped get off the ground. Fifteen months after it opened, Gray’s brother was there, living out his last days with a terminal illness. Gray choked up as he talked about that time during the gathering in the
garden to celebrate the house’s fifth anniversary. Gray said he took on the role as fundraising chairman in 2006 after he lost the Kelowna mayoral election. “Looking back, I’m kinda glad that I lost that election because it gave me an opportunity to do one of the most important things I have ever done in my life,” said Gray gesturing to the building behind him. He said when he was asked to chair the fundraising campaign, he did not even know what a hospice was. “I had to look it up in the dictionary.” But it has turned out to be so much more than he could have ever imagined, he said. The 24-bed Central Okanagan Hospice House is owned and operated by Interior Health, built on land IH provided, which was once part of the estate of former B.C. premier WAC Bennett. Brad Bennett is WAC Bennett’s grandson.
A 44-year-old man from Kelowna is in custody after two men were sent to hospital following a fight outside the Metro Church service in downtown Kelowna Sunday afternoon. At 1 p.m. on Sunday, an altercation occurred

RANDALL PAUL, who lost his wife to cancer last year, speaks at the fifth anniversary of the Central Okanagan Hospice House in Kelowna, Friday. The hospice house is a partnership between IHA, the Central Okanagan Hospice Association, the Canadian Cancer Foundation, the Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District, and the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, which each still play,
or have played, an integral part in its operation and foundation. During its first five years, the house has seen more than 1,800 people pass through its doors, each encouraged by the facility to “live until you die.”

▼ CITY HALL
Kelowna refuses Right to Life proclamation For the first time in six years, the City of Kelowna is refusing to grant the Kelowna Right to Life Society the annual Protect Human Life Week proclamation that it seeks at this time of year. The group has asked for and received a proclamation each of the last five years, as well from 1983 to 1985 and in 1996. According to the Kelowna Right to Life Society, despite the fact it has been a registered charity in Kelowna since 1972 and five different mayors, including both current mayor Walter Gray and his predecessor Sharon Shepherd have signed proclamations in the past, it was refused this year. Last year, Mayor Walter Gray granted the Kelowna Right to Life prolife proclamation, but the city refused a request by the group to fly a pro-life flag over City Hall. That dispute received national attention and prompted the city to revamp its policy regarding flags, resulting in no “special interest” groups being allowed to fly their flags over City Hall in future. The anti-abortion group also says it feels the city was under pressure
from various pro-choice groups to rescind the right to life proclamation. In a news release, it said the city has flatly refused to proclaim Protect Human Life Week altogether, citing new guidelines that state in part, “proclamations will not be approved if they…cover matters of political controversy, ideological or religious beliefs...” Marlon Bartram, executive director of the Kelowna Right to Life Society said his group is disappointed in the decison. “The high-sounding rhetoric about celebrating diversity and inclusion that has emanated from the mayor’s office this summer falls awfully flat when you are the one being excluded,” said Bartram. Despite that, the group says it will go ahead with its planned events for the week of Sept 29 to Oct. 6. “The unborn are still being legally killed each week in Kelowna (because abortion services are available at Kelonwa General Hospital), and the disabled, elderly and infirm are still being threatened by the encroachment of legalized euthanasia
and assisted suicide,” said Bartram. “We will continue to stand firm in defense of the weakest and most defenceless among us, with or without the blessing of the mayor’s office.” Protect Human Life Week is scheduled to start with what is being dubbed a Walk for Life in Mission Creek Regional Park Sept. 28. KRTL will also host
an anti-abortion film night Oct. 1, and is bringing in guest speaker Mike Schouten from weneedalaw.ca on Oct. 3. The week will close out with the annual Life Chain on Oct. 6, an anti-abortion protest where hundreds of the group’s supporters line a local street and link arms. All the week’s events can be found at www.prolifekelowna.com/events.

Teach kids ABCs and how to call 911
With the start of school, the BC Ambulance Service is reminding parents and caregivers that teaching children to call 911 and to know their home address is one of the most important things you can do to help keep themselves and others safe. “Even very young
NEWS children can learn to call 911,” said Dr. Michal Fedeles, manager of learning design for BCAS. “It’s a good idea to talk to your children about calling 911 once a year. Fall is a good time because school starts and household routines change,” Fedeles said.

Driver charged after police chase Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
A 42-year-old West Kelowna woman is facing a string of charges after police tried to stop her vehicle Sunday afternoon and wound up in a wild chase. The incident started when a member of the West Kelowna RCMP noticed a white Ford Expedition leaving a known drug house shortly after 3 p.m., followed the SUV and tried to pull the vehicle over in the
FREE2013-09-09 Family Event
2400-block of Dobbin Road. The vehicle pulled into a nearby car wash and the female driver jumped out. She was directed to return to her vehicle, but when she did, she drove away. She left the area, driving at a slow speed toward Brown Road with police in pursuit. Once on Brown, an officer pulled up beside her and indicated for her to pull over. She responded by driving her vehicle into the front end of the
unmarked police car and from there, the chase kicked into high gear. The driver took off heading southbound on Highway 97, say police, speeding into the Glenrosa neighbourhood and forcing police to call off the pursuit in order to keep the public safe. She abandoned the SUV in the 3400-block of Laird Court, but tips from the public poured in as she was spotted getting onto a city bus. Officers closed in and arrested her on the bus,
but one officer sustained minor injuries in the process. Cindy Elizabeth Bevan was in court Monday and was granted bail; it’s not known whether she was able to make the $500 payment needed for her release. Bevan is facing charges of assaulting a police officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police, dangerous driving, mischief and resisting or obstructing a police officer. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

However, later in his cross examination, he agreed he lied about a phone exchange Irving purportedly had with a man named Joey the day she disappeared. Macculloch testified it sounded like the man was yelling at Irving, apparently because she couldn’t fulfill the drug order she was working on. But he didn’t tell police about the man yelling in his initial interview. Macculloch believed the man on the phone was not only someone Irving was doing a drug deal with, but also dating. Irving’s brother was also questioned about when she told him about the deal and was asked whether she told him
about the arrangement as she put on her makeup in the hotel room they shared on the morning of April 5, 2010. Macculloch said he was told “several times,” about the deal, but couldn’t say if she told him about it when she was putting on her makeup, so he told the court information in his police statement about the conversation was a “lie.” Irving was last seen alive April 6, 2010 and her Explorer was located the next day off Philpott Road. Nearly three weeks later, her body was found off McCulloch Forest Service Road. Joelon Verma is currently on trial, charged with first degree murder in her death.

▼ B.C. HYDRO
Fees set for smart meter holdouts
Jeff Nagel
BLACK PRESS
It won’t be cheap for opponents of wireless smart meters to keep their old analog electricity meters. BC Hydro says it will charge up to an extra $35 per month—$420 per year—on the roughly 60,000 smart meter holdouts for manual meter readings starting in December. Those who don’t want to pay that much have two cheaper options. They can accept a wireless smart meter at no charge or they can request a smart meter with the radio transmitter disabled for a one-time $100 charge and additional $20 per month fees starting April 1.
Either way, those who opt to stay off Hydro’s smart grid will pay more. BC Hydro has sent letters to households that have refused smart meters outlining the options, along with a form to send back making their choice. Those who make no choice will be assigned the $35-a-month default option. “If you do not confirm your choice, BC Hydro will not exchange the meter at your home, and the monthly cost for keeping an old meter will be added to your BC Hydro bill,” states the letter from Greg Reimer, executive vice-president of transmission and distribution for B.C. Hydro. The proposed charges must still be approved by the BC Utilities Commis-
sion. Hydro officials say the fees offset the expense of adding infrastructure so the grid works as planned and the costs of manually performing services now automated by smart meters. BC Hydro says those who keep old analog meters aren’t guaranteed that will be an option indefinitely. Crews will replace analog meters that break or have expired accuracy seals as long as the existing stock of old meters lasts. If that supply runs out, or for people who move to a new home, the only option will be to accept a smart meter, either operating wirelessly or with the transmitter turned off. Opposition group Cit-
izens for Safe Technology calls the planned fees “extortionary,” noting they add up to as much as $25 million a year and doubts regulators will be able to justify them. “Why should we pay not to have something harmful put on our homes?” the group said in a message to supporters, recommending they not return the forms. “Hydro believes that this announcement will push more customers to accept what they do not want or need. Many are understandably upset and confused by this latest ultimatum.” More than 1.8 million smart meters have been installed, leaving fewer than four per cent of Hydro customers without one.
▼ FUNDING
Part of the KVR trail to receive upgrade
As part of the longterm vision for the Kettle Valley Railway Trail to be a vibrant, world-class recreation destination, the province is spending more than $100,000 to upgrade the trail between Naramata and Little Tunnel. The project includes a new high-quality tread surface for a six-kilometre portion of the trail. The upgrade will
be completed this fall to take advantage of funding and resources available through this year’s budget for recreation site and trail maintenance and improvements. Work is expected to start by the end of the month. A decision regarding motorized vehicle use of the trail in the Naramata area has not yet been made. The province will
make a final decision regarding motorized use of the trail in the Naramata area—from Glenfir Trailhead to Little Tunnel— after an assessment of the public safety and liability aspects of allowing continued highway vehicle use is complete. Motorized recrea-
tion remains an important backcountry activity, and the province says it is committed to high-quality recreational trail opportunities for all trail users. The B.C. rail trails network across southern B.C. makes up more than half of the 1,600-kilometre Trans Canada Trail.

The growing phenomenon that is the world of mompreneurs
T
his week, as a preface to the monthly town hall session of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society which will have a “mompreneurs” theme, I thought I would talk about mompreneurs. The phrase was coined almost two decades ago, so it’s not a new idea. But what’s happening is that there’s a growing recognition that there are more mom entrepreneurs in our midst. Entrepreneurship has

al economies as they contribute significantly to innovation and job creation. More and more, our politicians have placed entrepreneurship at the centre of their political vision. The amount of research devoted to the study of entrepreneurship has increased substantially during this same period. The purpose of entrepreneurship research in the texts that I have read and studied are characterized by a very strong growth ideology, an ideology that stakes the claim that the reason why we need to study entrepreneurship so zealously is that entrepreneurs contribute significantly to the growth in national economies. Growth equals development and hence becomes the criterion according to which entrepreneurs are judged.
Female entrepreneurs have also received increasing attention over the last decade or so, as the percentage of female entrepreneurs has increased consistently during this period. Mompreneurship is an emergent phenomenon which has yet to settle on a widely accepted definition or be researched from a social scientific point of view. There appears to be three elements that are central in this phenomenon: • A need to strike a balance between the need’s of one’s workplace or career on the one hand and the needs of one’s family on the other • The desire for a work environment unencumbered with an immediate supervisor impervious to and unconcerned with the needs of one’s family (the

mother and wife) • The desire to combine the first two elements with exciting and challenging work experience. “I really enjoy that I can set my own hours, work late if I want and work in my pyjamas,” said one woman in a recent newspaper article about the subject. “I am a single mom and it is important to me to be able to be home for my daughter.” The three elements I mentioned may be included under the concept of continuity. So it can be seen that the overall strategy of mompreneurship is to create continuity between the different spheres of the life of the mompreneur. A flexible professional life is a precondition for finding the appropriate balance between dedicated motherhood and work. The same goes for the absence of the stress of accountability to an immediate superior, the de-
letion of this relationship from the workplace equation can thus be seen as a strategy employed to minimize the conflict between family responsibilities and a career. So, to sum up, mompreneurship is an attractive strategy to create continuity and to minimize conflict between the relevant spheres of life (motherhood and work/ venturing) Do mompreneurs represent a new generation of entrepreneurs? Although various arguments could be made both for and against this question, I say yes. Historically, entrepreneurs have been men, as have all the positions in society with power and prestige associated with them. But over the years, women have increasingly entered professions and positions of power and prestige: CEOs, politicians, judges, etc. In the case of entre-
preneurship, the increasing number of female and other types of what I like to refer to as hyphen-type e.g. grey entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs have qualitatively changed the face of entrepreneurship forever. It is becoming an increasingly differentiated phenomenon. It is spreading from the sphere of profit-manic, high-powered elite business life into other social spheres. All kinds of people in our everyday world are launching ventures for all kinds of purposes. Entrepreneurship, is being democratized and I like it. Three cheers for the mompreneurs of our world.

Generosity abounds in the Okanagan
T
he Central Okanagan has shown once again that it is a caring community. It seems—especially at this time of year—that there is no shortage of fundraisers taking place here to help worthy causes. And, as seems to always be the case, plenty of people turn out to participate and raise funds. On the weekend, two of those causes saw particularly strong turnouts and donations. The annual Terry Fox Run, which has become an inter-
national event to not only raise money for, but also awareness about, cancer research in the years since Fox ran his Marathon of Hope in 1980, attracted close to 1,500 people. On Saturday, in only its third year, the B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive collected a record 43,000 pounds of food for the Kelowna Community Food Bank. (Similar drives were held to aid food banks in West Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country as well.) Those two events were just a
smattering of the many walks, fundraisers, events and activities held year each year here to do good work in the community. It’s a tribute to the people who not only participate but also to the organizers, most of whom are volunteers. And it is the drive, determination and fortitude of those volunteers that helps events like a food drive, a charity walk or run, a door-to-door collection or a pledge drive to succeed. The Central Okanagan can
be called many things but one word that stands out is “generous.” And, as witnessed this weekend, that generosity is not only on display when the need is the result of an emergency like a fire or accident. This past weekend of giving was not an anomaly. Fundraising drives regularly go over the top and the community shows its support in many ways. The generous people of the Central Okanagan can take a bow.

Poverty has multiple repercussions on people including IQ
P
overty is not only the most important determinant of poor health—it is at the root of many other social and health issues. A recent study published in the journal Science, has found poverty can lower your IQ. People often hold the mistaken belief that poor people become poor because they are lazy, not very bright or perhaps lack basic ambition or motivation to get ahead. Of course the reality is usually more complicated than that and poverty typically occurs for a variety of reasons usually beyond the individual’s control. This study out of Harvard University found that the mental energy re-
quired to survive with few resources simply crowds everything else out. It occupies the brain to the point that IQ scores are lower regardless of innate intelligence or personality. Indeed, researchers also say the preoccupation with meeting immediate needs can serve to perpetuate the cycle of poverty. While examining the effect of poverty on cognitive performance, researchers conducted two studies— one involved shoppers at a mall in New Jersey and the other dealt with
HEALING sugar cane farmers in MINDS India.
Shoppers were divided into two groups according to income. Researchers then asked them to consider their fiPaul nancial situation and Latimer asked how they would pay for an unexpected car repair. Some were told they would have a $150 repair while others would have a larger $1,500 repair. After hearing this news, the shoppers took a couple of tests designed to test their IQ. Those in the higher income group did fine on the test regardless of the
cost of their unexpected bill. The poorer subjects did fine when assigned the lower bill of $150, but their test scores plummeted by 13 points when they were faced with the higher repair bill. Researchers believe the concern over the high bill was using up their brainpower—and the authors of the paper described the theory as similar to a computer running heavy background processes that end up affecting performance.

▼ ANALYSIS
AUTO SALES.COM
Staff managing strategies often outdated Shayda Kassam CONTRIBUTOR
Some years ago, I read an article about a survey that asked CEOs to identify the kinds of issues that kept them up at night. Their responses revealed that the major issues worrying them were not financial, IT, supplier or production issues, but people issues. The complexity of managing people in the workplace has only increased; workplace diversity and generational shifts have created new and evolving employee expectations. In addition, employers have to deal with more complex employment legislation and with increased global competition. You may think that these trends have caused organizations to become savvier in their management of their employees. However, in my many years of working with organizations of all sizes and in many different sectors, I continue to observe the following outdated practices: 1. Insufficient investment in skills of managers and supervisors. Research has shown that a strong relationship with a direct supervisor is a key contributor to employee engagement. Many organizations do not provide training or adequate support to their managers and/or promote valuable employees without
first providing them with the tools they need to succeed. 2. Responding to symptoms, not causes. It is much easier to fix a problem than prevent it from happening; as such, organizations often focus solely on the symptoms of a problem and not the cause. For example, high turnover in a particular position can cause managers to dig in and keep hiring again and again. Finding and addressing the root cause is the only action that will slow or stop the turnover. 3. Short-term thinking. I continually remind my clients to think long-term and to hire for both today and tomorrow. 4. Doing things because they’ve always been done that way. We are all creatures of habit and don’t always take time to rethink our practices; effective leaders periodically re-evaluate internal processes and understand there are efficiencies and organizational learning to be gained by creating new habits. 5. Not utilizing the full power of human resources. Many business managers do not understand that strong human resource processes, much like strong financial practices, can positively impact a company’s financial results. 6. Not ensuring their human resources practices are working in concert with one an-
other. One client I worked with rewarded their inside sales employees through both their base salaries and incentive plans, blurring the distinction between these programs and decreasing their effectiveness and potentially over-compensating some employees. 7. Failing to communicate sufficiently with employees. It is almost impossible to “over-communicate” with your employees. Purposeful communication includes both written and oral communications, both inside the boardroom and one-on-one. Silence can be easily misconstrued and will breed misunderstanding and miscommunication. 8. Not using human resources communication to build your brand with employees. I have encountered companies that have borrowed their materials—including policy manuals—from other organizations. Efforts to save money on human resource programs in the short-term can harm a company’s ability to build its brand, as well as attract and retain the high-quality employees who will ensure its long-term success.

Unions not to blame for financial woes To the editor: Old rhetoric never dies, it just keeps being regurgitated. I was on vacation when Tom Fletcher’s column about union workers was published in the Sept. 6 edition of the Capital News. I realize that Mr. Fletcher doesn’t support paid vacation time for workers, but that’s another story. What struck me about his references to CUPE K-12 support staff is the level of inflammatory half-truths and cliche buzzwords. I am familiar with those contracts and here’s one key point that should not be forgotten. No contract is ever reached without both
sides agreeing to it. So any provisions referred to by Mr. Fletcher have been signed off by the employers involved— that’s because they work. I also find his reference to poor self-employed taxpayers having to fund this stuff curious. One would think everybody out there is working for themselves. Not true. And those who are running a business know that you pay a reasonable rate and treat your employees well to recruit and retain them. Dump them when they start earning a higher rate, or deny them paid time off and they either leave or don’t want to work for you. That isn’t good for any
business. Workers are not the bad guys here. CUPE K-12 workers in B.C. are largely a parttime workforce. They get laid off (and no pay) over Christmas, spring break and the summer. Most work about 8 1/2 months a year. The hourly wages have been compared to the private sector and other public sector workers and that is why the government agreed to the trade’s adjustment. The trained staff were/ are leaving because they can earn more money outside the school system. They had also agreed to a Labour Market Adjustment in 2006 which was removed for all union staff, but not for manage-
Worry consumes thinking Latimer from A10 had been paid. Again, test scores were worse when poverty was an issue. Farmers tested while cash-strapped before harvest had significantly lower results than after the harvest payment was in. Regardless of culture or cause, having an urgent and immediate need appears to consume much more of a person’s cognitive energy than we may have thought. This finding indicates that intelligence is not a cause of poverty, but rath-
er a victim of it. For anyone who has been in this situation the response will likely be “obviously!” For those who haven’t and believe their good fortune is purely a result of their superior abilities, perhaps this will be informative. An important recommendation out of this study is to carefully consider the way we run social welfare programs. If we make these programs unnecessarily burdensome with excessive paperwork and needless bureaucratic hoops to jump through, we may be
doing a disservice to those we are trying to help. Instead, we should attempt to ease mental stress and deal with immediate needs so they don’t become simply another barrier to overcome. It never fails to surprise and frustrate me how long it can take to provide the necessary help in an individual’s crisis even when the qualification for the help is not in doubt.

ment staff—they still get it. Many school districts continue to pay extra to certain work groups because they know if they don’t they won’t be able to fill vacancies or keep people. Then they’ll have to contract out to private companies who will gouge them to do the work they would otherwise do in-house at a lower cost. Mr. Fletcher complains that with layoff provisions the “more expensive” employees are the ones that remain working. I suppose in his world those employees would be dumped and new, untrained staff would take their place. Is that really a good way to run a business? I said earlier that no agreement is reached until
both parties agree. There’s one exception to that; and they sit in Victoria. Dealing with the unions is transparent and honest. You get what you bargain. The Liberal government in Victoria on the other hand seems to have no regard for written agreements, a fair bargaining process or fairness generally. If they can’t negotiate it, they’ll legislate it, despite having been found by the courts in the past to have done so illegally. One last note—workers (yes, even unionized workers) pay taxes, live in and support our communities too. I’m a proud trade unionist, and for that I make no apologies. Rob Hewitt, Kelowna

Importance of proper drainage
I

Dr. Tom Martin
The Capital News. Serving our community since 1930.
have been inundated this summer and fall with questions regarding turf problems both from home owners and maintenance people. Due to the hot dry spell we experienced and enjoyed this summer, it seems the issues normally associated with growing a nice lawn have been exacerbated. There are a few key things I look for when diagnosing turf problems and it depends on the symptoms displayed as to where I look first. About 90 per cent of the time I am asked why the lawn is browning out or dying in patches or large areas. The other 10 per cent are questions regarding weeds, mushrooms, moss and variations of colour and texture. Today I want to talk about the installation and the importance of proper drainage. The B.C. Landscape Nursery Association has defined guidelines for soil composition and depths and if anyone wants a copy, email me at don@ thegardenexpert.com. But here is a short version. A properly installed lawn is one that has at least 10 cm of a sandy loam with about five per cent organic content. It is important the compacted subsoil is scarified and not left in a smooth condition after the initial excavation which causes a “perched water table. It doesn’t matter how decent the top soil is, if the sub-soil is compacted there is no drainage and it is lack of drainage which causes so many problems with turf such as thatch build up. Contrary to most thinking thatch is not an accumulation of dead grass clippings, it is an accumulation of dead roots
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett that have come to the surface for air and then died due to lack of moisture. To test for proper drainage a percolation test is conducted by digging a small hole 30 centimetres wide and 30 centimetres deep, fill it with water and let it drain out completely. “Charging” the soil like this will give a more accurate reading than performing this test in dry soil. The next day fill the hole again and fix a ruler in such a way as to be able to measure the level of the water and gauge it as it drains out. The ideal rate would be five cm per hour but anything between 2.5 cm and 7.5 cm is acceptable. If the rate is less than this a lack of air in the soil will encourage thatch buildup and several disease issues. If the rate is faster it is difficult to keep moisture in the top soil causing the turf to become easily parched. Sometimes browning out is associated with a simple deficiency of water due to a malfunctioning sprinkler system. Test for even distribution of water by placing saucers or pie plates in strategic areas and comparing the rate of fill over a 10 minute time period. You might be surprised at the results. I will continue next week with more on lawn issues including insect, weed and cultural practices. Don Burnett is a Kelowna garden expert. don@thegardenexpert.com

Rockets’ roster returning to normal
‘‘
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
With players gradually returning from NHL camps one by one, a semblance of order is making its way back into the Kelowna Rockets’ preparations for the 2013-14 WHL campaign. As of Monday night, the club had all but three players back in the fold, with only Damon Severson (New Jersey), Myles Bell (New Jersey) and Ryan Olsen (Winnipeg) remaining with their NHL teams. “We’re getting there,” head coach Ryan Huska said of the team’s gradually increasing roster. “It’s tough to run practises the way you would like with the lower numbers, but at the same time it’s been a nice change. We’ve been able to focus a little more on teaching individually and that’s not something you get a lot of time to do once the season is here. It’s been different but good.” Huska said while Olsen is expected back any

day, Severson and Bell could quite possibly remain with the Devils for another week or more to play in some exhibition games. Madison Bowey (Washington) and Tyrell Goulbourne (Philadelphia) both returned to the club this week, while Jesse Lees (Boston) and Colton Heffley (Minnesota) got back into town last week. All in all, sending nine players to NHL camps— the third most among WHL teams—has been a valuable exercise, both from an individual and a
fi h t u o i w
team standpoint. “I think the confidence the players gain is the biggest thing,” Huska said. “They all come back feeling pretty good about themselves, they get that experience of sort of realizing their dream by putting on an NHL jersey. They also realize the things they have to work on and quite often come back and spend a lot of time on those aspects of their games. It’s good for them and it’s good for out team as a whole.” On Monday, the Rockets had 22 players in town, including the injured Mitchell Wheaton and Carter Rigby. Both are recovering from off-season shoulder surgery and won’t be available for the start of the regular season. Kelowna kicks off 2013-14 WHL campaign this weekend with a home-and-home set against the Kamloops Blazers. The clubs will meet Friday at Interior Savings Centre, then again Saturday in a 7 p.m. face off at Prospera Place.

Sun targeting first-place finish in B.C. Football Conference
With a first-place finish still in their crosshairs, the Okanagan Sun took care of business Saturday with a 38-17 win over the Valley Huskers in BCFC action in Chilliwack. The victory pushes the Sun (5-2) into a three-way tie for top spot with the Vancouver Island Raiders and Langley Rams. However, if a pending appeal this week goes the club’s way, the Sun would be alone in first at 6-1. The Sun had its season opening victory over Chilliwack July 27 overturned due to the use of an ineligible player. An arbitrator was expected to announce his verdict on the appeal as early as Monday. On Saturday in Chilliwack, Theo Deezar threw a pair of touchdown passes for the Sun—62 yards to Lerone Robinson and 43 yards to receiving leader Tommy Howes. Alex Bradley with a 49-yard run and Brennan Van Nistelrooy, with a recovery of a blocked punt also scored majors for the Sun, who led 19-10 at the half before taking control of the game in the second half. As has been the case for much of the season, Beatty liked the play of his defense which allowed just 224 yards against. “I thought (our defense) was very good and executed extremely well,” Beatty said. “We were a little slow to start on offence, but (because of injuries) we haven’t had the same starters on the O-line for three weeks.

Warriors sweep Merritt, host Vipers Tuesday The West Kelowna Warriors will see their
North Okanagan rivals for the first time this BCHL
season as they hook up with the visiting Vernon
Vipers on Tuesday night. Face off at Royal
LePage Place is 7 p.m. Then on Friday, West Kelowna will host Salmon Arm. The Warriors head into the game with a 2-2 record thanks to a weekend sweep of the Merritt Centennials. On Friday at Royal LePage Place, rookie Liam Blackburn’s second goal of the season proved to be the winner as the Warriors triumphed 3-2. Ambrose Firkus and David Pope also scored while Seb Lloyd added two assists in the club’s 2013-14 home opener. On Saturday in Merritt, the Warriors squeezed out their second one-goal
decision, 4-3. After Carl Hesler scored his first BCHL goal in the opening period, Braxton Bilous, newcomer Tyson Dallman, and Matt Anholt scored third-period markers for West Kelowna. Andy Desautels was in net for the second straight night to earn his second win of the season for the Warriors.
CHIEFS GET SPLIT…
The Kelowna Chiefs opened their fourth season in the KIJHL with a split of their first two games. After coming up short Friday in a 4-3 loss to Princeton, the Chiefs
bounced back Saturday at Rutland Arena with a 4-2 victory over the Osoyoos Coyotes. Jagger Bowles held the hot hand Saturday for Kelowna with a hat-trick, while Colton Dachwitz added the single. Connor DeMelo stopped 19 shots in the Chiefs net. In Friday’s loss, Bowles and Jordan Salahor scored for Kelowna. The Chiefs are back in action this Friday in Revelstoke, before returning home Saturday night for a rematch with the Princeton Posse. Face off at Rutland Arena is 7 p.m.

ed three assists as the Rockets drubbed the Kootenay Ice 13-2. Gen Bryshun and Tanner Browne each had a pair of goals from the back end, while Tyson Jost with a pair, while Jake Kryski, Cole Woodliffe, Kobe Oishi, Tanner Campbell, and Cory Santoro added singles.
On Saturday, Okanagan followed up with a 7-2 dismantling of the Cariboo Cougars. Finley again set the offensive pace with two goals, his fifth and sixth of the preseason, while Bryshun and Brett Young, Jost, Santoro and Mitchell Oliver rounded out the scoring. Brendan Barry was solid as he stopped 34 of
36 shots. Barry finished the pre-season with sparkling .935 save percentage. The Rockets finished the exhibition season at 5-1 and outscored their opponents 34-14 in the process.

BRIEFS TEN FOR PROSPERA
Prospera Credit Union is celebrating a decade in the Okanagan with a party. Beginning this week, the credit union will host celebrations at several branches, including Sept. 27 at the Mission Shopping Centre branch and Oct. 4 at the Prospera Centre branch at Cooper and Harvey. Each party will be a fundraiser for a local charity, which in Kelowna’s case will be the NOW Canada Society (Sept. 27) and Freedom’s Door (Oct. 4). There will be a barbecue, product specials, spin and win prizes and a passport game with a grand prize of $500 available to be won at each branch. “In 2003, our Prospera team was very excited to extend our credit union operations to serve the Okanagan community,” said Prospera president and CEO Bruce Howell. “In the 10 years since, we have put down roots, built strong relationships and grown our membership base to almost 12,000 and we continue to see strong growth. ”
GROWTH FUNDING
HuStream has secured $125,000 in growth capital funding from Community Futures. The funding will enable the Kelowna high-tech firm to expand operations and establish their presence as the dominant market leaders for Interactive Video. “We have a fairly aggressive growth strategy planned for the next 12 months,” said Peter Matejcek, co-founder and CEO for HuStream. “This funding is an essential piece to ensure we hire the right people to hit our goals.” HuStream plans growth in two key areas—sales and marketing— with strategies for both departments aimed at pure revenue generation and accelerating HuStream’s industry presence. In July of 2013, the Loan and Investment Review Committee for Community Futures voted unanimously in support of the funding. “HuStream has smartly positioned itself for substantial growth,” said Scott Carlson, business analyst for Community Futures.

Downtown revitalization enters third phase A nother section of Bernard Avenue is about to become beautiful, as the works crews have just started the third phase of the revitalization work in the block between St. Paul and Ellis. As it’s a fairly small section, the disruption to traffic flow is minimal, so please remember to come on down and keep supporting the businesses in this block. This section is expected to be totally beautified by the end of November. I discovered a delightful corner “pocket neighbourhood” this week when I strolled over to the corner of Pandosy and Lawrence. This area is just thriving with unique businesses: Duncan’s Bistro on one corner, Pulp Fiction Cafe on the other, Olive & Elle’s gorgeous homewares shop on another and a new arrival, Fusion North Boutique, on the fourth corner at Pandosy. Charlene Hall, owner of Fusion North, tells me that she opened three months ago and is really happy to be downtown. She has another shop in Sun Peaks, but decided to open here as well. Her charming shop features her own clothing line of soft, easy styles in cotton jersey and silk/cottons. She also carries B.C. Designer Gilmour, Leopards & Roses (designed in Canada, made in Nepal) and Canadian-designed fair trade lines Pure and Neon Buddha. She is such a dynamo that she also makes her own jewelry line, and it’s lovely. While browsing in her shop, I discovered the Kelowna-made bath and beauty line Barefoot Venus, a Kelowna-made greeting card line, and some absolutely adorable baby shower baskets from Diaper Designs by Debra. A little north on Pandosy, just past Olive & Elle, is another new downtown addition, Duke & Duchess, at 1579 Pandosy. The owners of this new hot spot are Cassie Bonthoux and James Nelson. Both grew up in Kelowna, then moved to Edmonton for several years.

your assets for estate planning purposes, someone other than yourself will take over that responsibility after you are gone. It may be your accountant, lawyer or family member who will do the final summary— but it will be done. In the year of death, a final (terminal) tax return must be filed by the estate’s executor/liquidator that includes all income earned by the deceased up to the date of death. The named executor of your estate is required to file for probate with the provincial court as your assets go through the probate process. The estate’s executor submits to the court the original will and an inventory of the deceased’s assets. The provincial probate tax is based on the total value of the assets flowing
through the will. The province of British Columbia has a fee that is 1.4 per cent for assets in excess of $50,000 of value. The average length of time for the probate process is 18 months. Due to the length of time and cost of probate, it is a time-consuming and costly procedure and stressful for your family. There are legal ways to avoid probate. Joint tenancy can be used for home ownership and joint saving and investment accounts. Property held in joint tenancy transfers by right of survivorship to the surviving joint owner(s). It is therefore not considered part of the estate of the deceased joint owner and is not subject to probate fees. Joint tenancy, when not between spouses may
have disadvantages. Discuss this with a professional before you gift assets away under joint tenancy. The use of an Insurance GIC with a named beneficiary allows the owner of the GIC to maintain 100 per cent ownership of their money and name a beneficiary to receive the asset after their passing. Insurance segregated funds also have the ability to by-pass probate with a named beneficiary. Designating a beneficiary under insurance policies, RRSPs, RRIFs and pensions will allow the proceeds to be paid directly to the named beneficiary. The proceeds do not form part of your estate and are not subject to probate fees. Probate fees are payable if the proceeds are
payable to the estate. An RRSP or RRIF can be transferred tax-free to a surviving spouse’s own plan. Also, the RRSP or RRIF can be transferred tax-free to a financially-dependent child or grandchild who is under age 18, or who is mentally or physically infirm, even if there is a surviving spouse. The registered funds must be used to purchase a term-certain annuity with a term not exceeding the child’s 18th year. There are strategies to reduce or avoid probate fees. These strategies should focus on you and your estate plan. Doreen Smith is a certified financial planner with Capri Wealth Management Inc. 250-869-3825 dsmith@capri.ca

LITTLE, GORDON KENNETH (KEN) Passed away peacefully with his family at his side on September 12, 2013. Dad is predeceased by his loving wife and best friend Shirley, and brother-in-law Alex Lawrence. Survived by his daughters Karen (Craig) with grandchildren Amanda (Adam), James and Haley of Edmonton, Glenda (Lindee) of Regina, Laura (Joe) with grandchildren Raegan and Damon of Calgary; son Gordon (Donna) and grandchildren Ashleigh, Braeanne, Cameron, Sheryl (Paul), Kara and Arianna of Edmonton; sister-in-law Geri (Elmer) Lawrence of Ardrossan, AB; and nephews Barrie (Mary Lee) Ledoux of Whitehorse and Spike (Wayne) Ledoux of Calgary. Dad was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB. Dad met Mom in 1955, they married in 1957 and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary September 7, 2007. Dad was an accomplished athlete with two Brier appearances representing Manitoba in 1964 and 1967, playing second on the Bruce Hudson rink; and induction into the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame and the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 1998. The Manitoba Hall had this to say, “As the Second World War drew to a close, a remarkable athletic career, spanning six decades, began. From minor hockey championships in the early 1940s to senior curling competition at the turn of the century, Ken Little was truly an all-round athlete. While many athletes participate in several sports during their careers, most excel in one or two at best. Little excelled in five; hockey, track & field, football, baseball and curling.” In 2000, Dad was named one of five finalists for Manitoba Male Amateur Athlete of the Century. However, his greatest accomplishment was being a loving and supportive husband and a loving and devoted father and grandfather. Dad was a Chartered Accountant with Deloitte from 1952 to 1989 as a partner in Winnipeg, and managing partner in Prince George and Regina, retiring to Kelowna in 1990 where he continued to curl and golf. Dad was also a long-time Rotarian, who exemplified the intent of the Rotary’s Four-Way Test. We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to the caring staff and physicians in the ICU at Kelowna General Hospital. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2013, at 4:00 p.m. at the Chapel of Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, in Kelowna. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 – 1551 Sutherland Ave.,Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen better than leftovers With the Autumn Equinox on Sept. 22, summer’s officially over and fall begins; and from days that are longer than nights, we’ll begin the downhill coast to the shortest hours of daylight in the year on Dec. 21 at the Winter Solstice. Once the days get shorter, they’ll inevitably get cooler, with fewer hours of sunlight, and the yearning for more comfort foods will take over from the desire for salads and lighter fare. We all tend to be busier in the fall too, with all sorts of clubs, organizations and activities underway again after the summer break, so meal-making has to be done more efficiently, but with no loss of nutrition. Vegetables generally cook more quickly than meat, so leftover meat is easily combined with vegies to make a quick leftover meal. For that reason, don’t hesitate to make extra meat on the weekend when you have a little more time for preparing meals, so you have some left with which to make a second meal a couple of days later. Even an extra steak cooked on the weekend can be simply sliced and tossed with a hearty green salad for a meal during the week, or with noodles and thinly-sliced vegetables for a pasta dish. Meatballs can be used in a tomato sauce, stuffed into pitas with vegies or in soup. And, there are endless possibilities with cooked chicken or turkey, from salad or soup, to pasta dishes or fried rice; with sauces or just as a snack or a sandwich. Leftover roast can become meat pie, or be ground up with vegetables for a shepherd’s pie, as my Mom used to do after our traditional Sunday night rib roast. This week is the inaugural free, six-day Thrive Health Festival put on by the Central Okanagan Division of Family Practice, using doctors to help empower the community to eat healthy and be physically active. Doctors will conduct healthy snack tastings at Save On Foods in Orchard Plaza, walks on the Mission Creek Greenway and cycling in Southeast Kelowna, as well as a zumba class at Stuart Park Thursday. Saturday, there’ll be a health festival at City Park noon to 4 p.m. There are lots of healthy recipes in my book, Jude’s Kitchen, available wherever books are sold.
Minestrone Soup
This was made with just some slices of leftover cooked bacon, but you could add some leftover hamburger or ground meat from a previous meal, or other thinly sliced cooked meat. 2 slices leftover cooked bacon 4 carrots 2 medium onions 1 c. (250 ml) Savoy cabbage 2 leeks 2 celery stalks 1 garlic clove 8 c. (2 l) beef stock 1 1/2 c. (375 ml) water 1/2 c. (125 ml) elbow macaroni 1 medium potato 6 tomatoes 1/4 c. (60 ml) parsley 1/4 c. (60 ml) parmesan cheese salt and pepper, to taste Chop leftover, cooked bacon into dice. Slice carrots and chop onions. Cut cab-
bage into thin strips and slice leeks and celery. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large soup pot and add the onions, then the leeks, cabbage, carrots and celery and stir. Mince the garlic and add once the vegetables have softened. Add the beef stock, bring to simmering and let simmer for about 40 minutes. Meanwhile in a smaller pot, boil the water and add the macaroni, cooking until just done, not soft. Drain and set aside. Also, chop the potato into small cubes and peel the tomatoes and chop them up. You could substitute equivalent tinned or canned tomatoes. After the soup has been cooking for about 20 minutes, add the chopped potatoes, and 15 minutes or so later, add the tomatoes and cooked macaroni, cooking for a further five minutes. Add the minced parsley and parmesan cheese just before serving and season, to taste, with salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Serves 4-6.
JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
Leftovers Beef Pot Pie Some people love leftovers just as they are, but often either you’re missing part of the meal because it was all eaten up, or you just don’t like facing the same meal a second time. That’s where a good pot pie makes its entrance, whether the original meal was a pork, beef or lamb roast or steak or a chicken. I would substitute chicken stock for the beef if making chicken or pork pot pie. This beef one would be great paired with a nice fruity B.C. VQA syrah red wine like Sandhill or Mission Hill's Five Vineyards. 1 onion 1 celery stalk 2 carrots 4 mushrooms 1 clove garlic drizzle of oil 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) pepper 1 tsp. (5 ml) dried thyme 2 tbsp. (30 ml) flour 1/2 to 3/4 lb. leftover beef
1 c. (250 ml) beef stock Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Chop onion, celery, carrots and mushrooms and crush garlic. Heat oil in a frypan over medium-high heat and add onion, celery carrots and mushrooms and saute for three to five minutes until soft. Mix salt, pepper, thyme and flour and add to onion mixture. Stir, scraping bits off the bottom of the pot, for three to five minutes. Meanwhile, chop up and trim leftover beef roast or steak into small pieces and heat stock. Add beef stock and simmer for two or three minutes, stirring until thickened. Stir in beef pieces. Pour into a deep nine-inch pie dish. Make pastry for the topping and place on top of the pot pie. Cut a few slits in the top of the crust. Bake in a 375 F. oven for 30-40 minutes or until brown.

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
