Rats infesting Glenmore

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS
HOMEOWNER Nancy Kummen sets out rat traps to capture the roof rats that devastate her tomato crop this year. It advises you keep food and garbage tightly covered and rat-proof the property. Bird or pet food should be removed immediately after feeding; trash removed and stored
material elevated. Piles of debris or lumber provide cover for them, as do thick vegetation. They only live for a year or so, but in that time, one pair can produce up to
50 young. Often they live and nest in attics, ceilings and walls, so screen any openings to keep them out. In recent years, rat infestations have been re-

The popularity of Kelowna’s airport may be taking off but the cost of flying from the local facility appears to be grounded. An Internet website that specializes in finding travellers cheap airfares says Kelowna’s airport is the cheapest in Canada to fly out of. Cheapflights.ca has published its annual Canadian Airport Affordability Index which ranks Canadian airports—and U.S. airports close to the border that Canadians regularly use—based on the average airfare found in August to popular destinations like Montreal, Miami, Los Angeles, London, Bangkok and Cancun. This year, Kelowna jumped to second place on the index (from eighth in 2012), trailing only Bellingham in Washington State. Kelowna was listed as the cheapest of the 17 Canadian airports on the 20-airport index, a list that included major Canadian airports such as Mont-

With a clang and a roar on the street outside her house, Nancy Kummen’s fresh ripe tomatoes, stripped from the vines, were taken away in the garbage truck this week, instead of being sliced into a salad on her counter. What she’d seen when she went out to her overflowing vegetable garden to pluck the ripe fruit last week, was tomatoes that had been eaten on the vine, still oozing juice and dotted with rat droppings. “I couldn’t believe it when I saw the destruction,” she said sadly. She admits she used to live in North Vancouver so she should have known better than to keep a compost pile to recycle onto her garden, but she knows better now, and she vows to change her ways. Compost can attract rats. In the meantime, she wonders what she ought to do to recycle compostable materials from her kitchen and her garden, or whether she’ll have to continue to put it into the garbage instead. She picked up rat traps from Buckerfields, but says the rats have been eating the bait off them and not setting off the traps. She hasn’t had any luck so far in trapping the rodents, but she saw one of them the other day, and
she believes they are the roof rat, or black rat, not the Norway rat common now in the Lower Mainland. It was a slim rat with a pointed nose. Kummen’s neighbour, Yvonne Herbison, has had more success in her trapping efforts, and said she has been doing so for the past year. She’s concerned about using poison because of the harm it could cause secondarily to owls and kestrels in the old Glenmore area they live in. Her grapes have been stripped by rats. Neighbours with fruit such as cherries which have been infested with Spotted Wing Drosophila and left on the tree, have helped to attract them, she believes, along with nut trees. Bird feeders are another issue, as feed left out for birds can also attract rats. Rats are not native here and occur uncommonly. The City of Kelowna has received several calls from residents in that area of town, but it does not have a rat control program. Instead, it advises residents to contact a pest control company, as does the regional district. However, the City of Penticton has a rat control pamphlet on its website which advises residents to work with their neighbours so everyone is taking the same measures to control them.

▼ COURT
Murder trial hears about drug deal Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR
The drug order that Brittney Irving was scrambling to fill in the days leading up to her disappearance and death was for 70 pounds of marijuana, according to a drug broker Irving was working with. Text messages between Irving and Brad Saari were read out in court during Joelon Verma’s murder trial on Wednesday, detailing the duo’s efforts to buy and sell marijuana for both Irving’s big deal and other orders that Saari was looking to fill. Verma is on trial for first degree murder in con-
Brittney Irving nection to Irving’s death. The court heard that Saari and Irving would receive samples of various sized lots of marijuana to present to their buyer, and then arranged the price they were willing to pay for the pot if it was deemed acceptable by the buyer.
Saari was initially approached via text message on April 4, 2010 about helping Irving fill her 70-pound order, the court heard. Irving told Saari via text that she was getting together the order with a friend. “He’s doing it to help me with a lawyer,” she wrote. The previous month, the court heard, Irving was arrested for growing marijuana. She was last seen alive on April 6, 2010 and her Ford Explorer was found abandoned on Philpott Road on April 7, 2010— ironically the same road on which she once lived. Saari testified he learn-
ed from Irving she had lived at a Philpott Road property that he owned. He had a grow operation at the property, but didn’t know if Irving had ever tended a grow-op at that location. “She mentioned it had a nice spot to do it, but she didn’t mention whether she did it herself,” Saari testified. Saari, the court heard, met Irving within the year before her death and began a sexual relationship with her. Soon after, he learned she was a drug broker— as he was at the time— and they completed some drug deals before her death in April 2010. edit@kelownacapnews.com

Relocation doesn’t work when it comes to problem bears, says CO Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Conservation officers in the Okanagan say bears have moved into residential areas throughout the region, attracted by available garbage and other food left out by humans. Conservation officer Terry Myroniuk said he relocated one young bear recently and four days later, the bear was back in Rutland getting into garbage again. “Relocation is simply not a solution,” he said. “There’s just no use relocating habituated bears—bears that are used to fattening up on human
foods.” The bear was active during the day in a residential area near a daycare centre, so he had to be put down this week. Often, Myroniuk said, relocating a bear creates more trauma for the animal than it’s worth because the bear ends up fighting another bear for territory if it doesn’t just hoof it right back to where it was taken from. “It’s not sound wildlife management,” Myroniuk added. Bear traps have been set in the Oyama area and in West Kelowna, but, the traps often don’t work that well because there’s so
much human food available it’s difficult to lure an animal into the trap for food.
‘‘ RELOCATION IS SIMPLY NOT A SOLUTION. Terry Myroniuk
People who leave fruit or nuts on their trees are often the culprits for attracting the big animals
into a neighbourhood, but garbage left outside is also attractive. Bears have a very sharp sense of smell. One of the most active areas right now is West Kelowna, said Myroniuk. Bears are fattening up for hibernation so they need all the calories they can get in the fall. The conservation service is asking people to report bear activity so its officers can keep track of problem bears.

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD Sheena Roen checks out the ice of the newly renovated Jim Lind Arena in West Kelowna on Saturday.
▼ WEST KELOWNA
Jim Lind Arena upgrades complete A newer, brighter Jim Lind Arena was officially re-opened to West Kelowna residents last Saturday. The district marked the occasion by offering a free public skating session. Although only a handful of people took part, those who were at the rink Saturday seemed to be enjoying the improved atmosphere. The $1.1-million project included a new concrete ice floor, as well as new rink boards, glass, lights and washrooms. “Although serving us faithfully for almost 40 years, Jim Lind Arena was showing its age and was in desperate need of
repair and attention,” said West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. The original ice floor was built in 1974 and had two major leaks over the past seven years, both of which caused service disruptions. The rink boards, also built in 1974, were made of wood and were old and worn. The new boards are metal frame and less susceptible to rotting. The rink glass now meets industry-recommended height standards and is seamless. New energy efficient lights improve visibility in the facility as well as reduce the building’s energy
consumption by approximately 38 per cent. A new score clock was also installed thanks to the $25,000 the community earned through the 2012 Hockeyville competition. The federal government’s Infrastructure Improvement Fund provided $250,126 toward the upgrades. Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas said the project was an important one for West Kelowna. “Upgrading recreational facilities such as this one helps boost the local economy while fostering healthy communities for years to come,” he said.

One Saturday brings out back country negligence Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Saturday seemed to bring all the criminals out in the back country around Kelowna. Conservation officer Ed Seitz reported ATV riders illegally drove into the no-motorized, protected area of the Graystokes; paintball enthusiasts left a pile of junk around; a fire burning toxic waste was left; and someone shot a two-point mule deer and left it on private property. He asked that anyone who saw anything suspicious contact them with as much information as possible, at the Report All Poachers and Polluters hotline, toll-free: 1-877952-7277. Seitz wondered if someone golfing at Tower Ranch early Saturday morning may have seen an ATV in an area of private property on the north side of the golf course.
He would appreciate a call if you did. A young mule deer buck was found shot and left on private property there Saturday morning, even though the property is signed as private at all access points and the owners did not grant permission for anyone to enter. Not only is it illegal to shoot an animal and then leave it instead of using the meat, but it’s also illegal to shoot on private land without the owner’s permission. In addition, two-point mule deer bucks are not in season. A season on fourpoint or larger mule deer opened on Sept. 10, along with any-sized whitetailed bucks. Seitz also found a lot of illegal ATV activity occurred Saturday in the non-motorized zone in the Graystokes area east of Kelowna near Moore
Mountain, reached from Linden Lake and from the 201 Forest Service Road. Under the Park Act, there’s a $345 fine if you’re caught in that closed area in a motorized vehicle. He also patrolled in the Postill Lake Forest Service Road area and found that paintball users had left a pile of garbage in the area. There’s a fine of $575 for that offence. A smoldering fire of toxic materials such as plastics was found, likely after it was lit overnight, said Seitz. There’s a fine of $173 for leaving a fire unattended and it’s also illegal to burn toxic materials. Conservation officer Terry Myroniuk is investigating a poaching incident that was reported Sept. 11 off Postill Lake Road, and would appreciate any information that might help lead to the shooter. A mature buck was killed and the meat left to rot. Only the head and antlers were taken. “It’s not legal hunting if you only kill to take the trophy and leave the meat behind. Because it was in a very obvious place, it was likely it was dumped there Sept. 11,” he said. “Such actions anger responsible hunters,” he commented. He asked that anyone seeing anything suspicious in the back country call the RAPP line and report it. You can remain anonymous if necessary. That would include someone shooting moose or young or female elk, which have no open season currently; or hunting at night or using a light to hunt. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Municipalities reject licensing Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR
A bid by the town of Sidney to regulate the use of mobility scooters on sidewalks was rejected in a split vote by local politicians Wednesday. On the advice of the executive, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention voted to drop a request for provincial licensing of sidewalk scooters, and to exclude
motorized wheelchairs from any restrictions. But a majority of delegates voted against any kind of regulation. Sidney Mayor Larry Cross urged support, telling delegates there has been one fatality in his community, and two “serious rollovers” this past summer as scooters shared sidewalks with pedestrians. “We’re kind of the canary in the mine in

terms of the aging population, and the incidents and conflicts can only grow over time,” Cross said. Other council members were unimpressed. “If you have a problem with your sidewalks and people are rolling over, maybe you need to fix the sidewalks,” said Langley Township councillor Bob Long. “There are motorized bicycles, so is that the next thing, we’re going to license bicycles?” Sidney councillor Melissa Hailey said the community has “wonderful sidewalks,” but education and some regulation is needed. “There is no real legislation or any ability to deal with unsafe scootering on
our sidewalks,” Hailey said. “Drinking and scootering is very hard to enforce.” Nelson councillor Robin Cherbo said some solution is needed. His community has narrow sidewalks and some scooter users take to the roadway, without flags or lights. Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski was opposed, after talking with scooter and wheelchair users in his community. Saanich councillor Vic Derman agreed that scooter users and pedestrians need education, but communities should focus on local improvements to give scooter users more safe routes.

Proceeds go towards helping children who have special needs and their families with grants for things like emergency transportation costs to out-of-community hospitals, expensive medications, mobility and communication devices, and therapeutic programs to give them the same chances in life as other children. Variety helped Mihai by providing a grant for his family to purchase a specially adapted bicycle, which helps him to exercise his muscles and gives him the freedom to play and explore with his friends.

Mihai Covaseur of Kelowna is unique in many ways. Born with cerebral palsy, he has spent the better part of his nine years in physiotherapy and occupational therapy which helped him learn to walk. But he’s never let his physical challenges get in the way of helping others. For the second year in a row, Mihai is taking part in the Kids Coin Drive for Variety, a province-wide fundraiser that, since its inception 10 years ago, has raised $1.8 million for children in B.C. who have special needs. The event is growing too, with Jordan Nyfira being the second Coin Kid champion from Kelowna to join the campaign. “Mihai and Jordan and our other Coin Kid champions around BC are inspiring a spirit of support and philanthropy,” said Bernice Scholten, Variety’s executive director. “The Coin Drive campaign is an example of the power of families helping families.” From now until Oct.

It’s a fact—children who eat nutritious food do better at school. So here are a few tips to make healthy eating part of your back to school routine. Get organized: A little planning goes a long way. Make lunches the night before, cut up vegetables for an easy after-school snack or grab something out of the freezer for tomorrow’s dinner. Start the day off right: Eating first thing in the morning kick starts the brain and helps children be more alert during the school day. Free up time to eat in the morning by putting the toaster on the counter, pulling out the cereal, and setting the table the night before. Tired of cereal and toast? Try poached eggs and cheese on a whole wheat English muffin, oatmeal topped with walnuts and strawberries, or a yogurt, granola and fruit parfait. Involve kids in lunch: The more pride your child has in his lunch, the more likely he is to eat it. Lunches with high protein foods like beans, nuts or meat keep kids full and help them concentrate throughout the afternoon. Include foods from each of the four food groups to provide balance. Here are a couple quick and healthy lunch ideas: Wrap it up—grab a whole grain tortilla and any extras from last night’s dinner such as cold chicken or roast beef and your child’s favourite veggies, cheese and hummus or guacamole. Dunk a lunch—try pita triangles, carrot, cucumber or red pepper sticks and bean dip. Finish off the meal with cut up fruit and yogurt. For more lunch ideas and recipes check out http:// www.interiorhealth.ca/YourHealth/SchoolHealth/ SchoolNutrition. Offer healthy snacks: Children are often hungry when they arrive home from school. Having an after-school snack prepped and ready for your child helps them make a healthy choice and gives you a little time to get dinner on the table. Try offering fresh fruit or cut up veggies and dip. Nut butters, whole grain crackers, cubes of cheese and yogurt also make healthy snacks. Add fresh or frozen fruit to a pitcher of water for a refreshing thirst quenching after school drink. Eat together as a family: Preparing, cooking, and eating meals together provides time to connect. Children who eat with their families once a day perform and behave better at school. Meal time is a great time for parents to model healthy food choices and to “check in” with kids. It is also a great time to chat about another exciting school year. Cindy Bossio is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

his editorial is to express thanks and gratitude to what seems to be an ever-dwindling group within many B.C. communities. Sometimes, it is difficult to imagine the B.C./U.S. border as anything other than a bathtub drain—at least when someone has just told you about their great cross-border shopping spree. Hundreds of thousands of vehicles cross the border in our region every year, with many of them heading south of the 49th parallel to seek out the best deals
possible on everything from new TVs to cheese. From a purely personal economic viewpoint, it’s understandable. The price difference, especially with the Canadian dollar sitting near par, can be phenomenal. A recent study by the Business Council of B.C. found that the price difference on cheese, for example, is up to 60 per cent cheaper in the U.S. That same study found that in 2012, as much as $2.6 billion from the province was spent in cross-border shopping.
People who cross-border shop will point out that you can’t argue the economics of it. For many, times could be considered tough at the moment. Some area storefronts are empty. Some people don’t have jobs, and yet the people who routinely take their money across the border don’t seem to be able to relate their actions to the local economy. Money that stays in your community tends to have a multiplier effect. You spend $5 at a local merchant, that merchant uses that $5 at another merchant
and so on, generating much more value with each transaction. Taking your money out of the community does just that — it removes the money from the community. This is not to berate those who shop across the border occasionally. It is to thank those who have given the cross-border shopping situation some thought. Congratulations on being a thoughtful, community-minded driver of the local economy.

orking in the riding through the summer and into fall provides an excellent opportunity to invite members of our caucus, our government’s cabinet and yes, the Prime Minister himself to visit beautiful Kelowna-Lake Country. It’s not a hard sell, especially at this time of the year. Hosted by my colleague Dan Albas, our BC/Yukon Caucus met for the first time in the Okanagan and had the opportunity to discuss regional priorities with provincial and municipal elected officials, including the premier, and various business sector representatives and associations. Our productive caucus meetings ended on a high note with a visit from
Prime Minister Harper, who took time out of his incredibly busy schedule to come to the Okanagan to meet with loyal and hardworking grassroots supporters. He couldn’t have come at a better time of year—our apple harvest looks like it will be one of the best and our vintners are in the process of creating more internationally renowned wine.

Rempel. As Canada’s youngest female cabinet minister in the history of Parliament, the intelligent and hardworking minister is passionate about western business and has spent a great deal of her summer meeting the business men and women who are driving the
economy. One of the minister’s favourite hashtags on her Twitter account is “the west means business.” True to form, the Okanagan is home to some of the most exciting initiatives and success stories in the country and it was a pleasure to show her what we are doing. Among several meetings that took place, the minister was able to visit with Formashape, RackForce and Kelowna Flightcraft; she was also able to sit down at two community roundtables where she met with representatives from Accelerate Okanagan, UBCO, Okanagan College, Club Penguin, the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission,

University students’ behaviour shocking To the editor: We Canadians are a very proud race of people with a common set of principles and behaviours called Canadian traditions. New Canadians will find these traditions easy to follow since it is just treating others as you would want them to treat
and respect you. But the other day I was appalled, like most Canadian’s were, when some Canadian student leaders for Frosh Week at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax sang a chant to the new first year students in which they rejoiced, glamorized and accepted a barbaric 16 century cus-
tom from another land where it is an accepted practise to have non-consensual underage sex, rape and marriage with a female child as young as six years old. To add to Canada’s disgust and shock, students of the University of B.C. Sauder School of Business joined in
for their Frosh Week by circulating a video with the same message. The administration of both universities are shocked and embarrassed that their adult students would show such poor morals and respect for our little helpless human beings, our little girls that we legally have to protect.
I hope the punishment for those ignorant non-thinking adult students who were responsible for this evil chant will be severely punished to discourage others from failing to protect Canada’s civilized way of life.

Positive energy exchange Cannan from A8 the necessary partnerships between business, education and government, and BC communities like Kelowna-Lake Country are setting the pace. As I’ve mentioned in this column before, UBCO and Okanagan College are partnering with the business community to ensure that the education and skills training our postsecondary students are receiving match the needs of local employers. It helps employers do business and it keeps our most valuable resource, a highly skilled workforce, here in the Okanagan, which ensures
we sustain a healthy and vibrant economy. Whether through competitive tax rates, infrastructure investments like the recent Rapid Transit announcement in West Kelowna, keeping the cost of business down by freezing EI rates, or funding skills training through programs like our Trades and Apprenticeship program and the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Partnership program, our federal government is working in partnership to support western business. The enthusiastic participation of people like WD Minister Rempel is proof that the federal gov-
ernment is committed to working with local and provincial partners to support these efforts and I think it is safe to say that our Government’s attention to strong economic and financial fundamentals is giving our business community confidence to be innovative and create jobs, which are key components of our social and cultural wellbeing, and our long term prosperity.

The Harper government also failed to implement any strategy (e.g., hedging) to protect federal coffers before or during the financial crisis and “Great Recession” that cost half a million Canadian jobs.

months into the crisis, the PM told a reporter that he was “surprised” by the economic downturn. The rest of Canada knew what was going on, but not the nation’s leader—yikes! The ineptitude and scandals of the Harper government are a matter of record. I have never trusted the PM and will never vote for the party led by him as long as he is at the helm.

Fitness and health reach new heights The newest facility for students, faculty, and staff has taken flight at the UBC Okanagan campus. The $4.1-million Hangar Fitness & Wellness Centre represents many things to many people. Not only is it an archi-
tectural work of art, but the facility—which officially opened Tuesday— represents a significant gift to the university while showcasing the wonders of building with wood. In operation since mid-July, the 850-squaremetre addition to the

university’s gymnasium houses a spacious cardio-exercise and strength-training space, studios for yoga, combat sports, spin bikes, Pilates and dancing, and will eventually accommodate an interior climbing wall. “This outstanding new facility reflects a shared commitment of our community, the university, and our generous donors to health and wellness,” said UBCO’s deputy vice-chancellor and principal Deborah Buszard. “The Hangar will provide much-needed recreation space for everyone, but in particular for our students, who need it to be healthy and productive.” The facility’s name recognizes a generous $3.5-million gift from the Lapointe family, honouring the employees of Kelowna Flightcraft. Funding for the Hangar came with two specific stipulations—it required an aviation theme, and construction was to be mostly from local lumber to support the region’s for-

A remarkable structure that appears to hover beside the current gymnasium, while at the same time emulating the curved wing of an aircraft. For UBC athletics director Rob Johnson, it also represents a much-needed space where students, faculty, and staff can exercise on the latest equipment, join a fitness class, take personalized training, and improve their health. The Hangar is also a boon to UBCO Heat athletes, newly minted as full members of Canada West Universities Athletic Association and Canadian Interuniversity Sport. “Until now, we have not been able to offer built-to-purpose fitness space, and we operated as best we could in a converted off-court storage area,” said Johnson. “The Hangar combines a beautiful and sustainable design, which includes lots of natural light with state-of-the-art fitness equipment.” Inside, the building re-

Ana-Maria says this was particularly significant because “this showed the impact he actually has among his peers and this is great for his self esteem.” Jordan Nyirfa is an outgoing, happy (and as his mom says) rather flirty teen. Born with a genetic condition so rare experts were unsure of what to predict, Jordan has continually surpassed everyone’s expectations. His family decided that they would take it one day at a time, and support him in every way possible. But as everyone with a child who has special needs knows, medicines, equipment and therapies come with hefty price tags. Variety was able to help Jordan by providing a grant to purchase a touch screen computer which, along with speech therapy, helped him learn to communicate. Over time Jordan continued to amaze everyone with his progress. He wasn’t supposed to grow very much— he’s now sixfeet tall. He wasn’t supposed to walk—he now skips. And he wasn’t supposed to talk—his mother says he is now an incurable chatterbox who loves to tell jokes, “He’s a real people person. Jordan is the happiest kid with a hilarious sense of humour and people who know him just love to spoil him.” This is Jordan’s first year participating in the Coin Drive, but like Mihai, he knows he has the support of the community behind him.

WFN and TD volunteers join forces to green up Highway 97 Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Dozens of volunteers from the Westbank First Nation and the new Toronto Dominion bank branch in Okanagan Lake Shopping Centre on WFN land, got down and dirty planting trees and bushes along Highway 97 nearby on Wednesday. The beautification D project, which will see 145 native trees and bushes planted, with a variety s of bloom times and leaf colours, is part of the TD , Friends of the Environw ment Foundation’s annual TD Tree Day. s Kristen Bonin, manager of the new TD branch, said a group of her employees came out to help put in the greenery, p alongside their customers and band members. Irrigation was put in t underground by the WFN prior to the planting and g the weeds that had been a feature along that section , of highway, between the overpass and the underd pass across from the new shopping centre, were
cleared out by WFN staff too, she said. Barry Teichroeb, landscape and parks supervisor for the WFN, said he ordered saskatoon, elder, mock orange and dogwood bushes as well as a few maple and mayday trees. However, there were concerns that trees would get in the way of highway signage, so there were limited spots they could be planted. Without the contribution from the TD FEF group, he said there likely would just have been some wild grasses planted along the highway. Instead, there will be fruit and seeds for local birds, as well as a colourful array of flowers and leaves as the seasons change. Both employees and volunteers from the band office came out to help put in the plants. In all, more than 5,000 trees will be planted by 900 volunteers, including many bank employees, customers and community partners at 20 sites
across the province as part of the annual Tree Day. The TD FEF has provided more than $57 million in funding to more than 20,000 environmental projects across the country since 1990. Thousands of donors contribute to the fund monthly and the TD Bank Group contributes more than $1 million every year. The bank covers the
management costs so that 100 per cent of every dollar donated goes to fund projects.

similar losses will receive similar financial compensation for those losses; one person suffering a certain degree of chronic pain should be compensated at a similar level as another person suffering a similar degree of chronic pain. That sounds easy
enough, but often what sounds easy in theory becomes very difficult in practice. No two people’s life circumstances are ever identical, and therefore the impact of pain and other symptoms is never the identical. Let’s say, for example, two people suffer very similar injuries and are left with very similar levels of chronic symptoms, one of the injured victims is 40 and the other is 70. We’ll put them both in the same car, in the same crash Both are pain free before the crash. Both develop lower back pain that becomes chronic. Each will suffer that lower back pain for the rest of his or her life. According to an Inter-
net life expectancy calculator, the senior, if a man, has a life expectancy of another 17 years. The 40-year-old will have a life expectancy of another 43 years. Should the senior receive less compensation? Is fair financial compensation for the senior less than one-half that for the 40-year-old because he will suffer chronic lower back pain for less than one-half as long? On the face of it, the analysis seems to have some logical merit, but it smells to high heaven. Our courts have struggled with exactly this scenario, multiple times. Rather than arbitrarily discounting a senior’s entitlement to compensation, our courts have decided that a senior’s loss
might even require greater compensation. There is a passage from a 1967 court judgment that is often quoted by justices of our courts when considering how to compensate those of advancing years. The judge’s view was expressed as follows: “I take the view myself that when one has a person in advancing years, in some respects an impairment of movement may perhaps be more serious than it is with a younger person.” After acknowledging the argument of the defence, that compensation should be lower, the judge continued as follows: “… it is important to bear in mind that as one advances in life, one’s pleasures and activities particularly do become more lim-
ited, and any substantial impairment in the limited amounts of activity and movement which a person can undertake, in my view, becomes all the more serious on that account.” Seniors do experience discrimination as a result of their advanced age in our world, but I am pleased to report that such discrimination does not extend to our courts of law. 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.

Opening doors for intellectually disabled students A place that advocates for people with intellectual disabilities is opening at UBC Okanagan. The Centre for Inclusion and Citizenship, a partnership between the UBC campuses in Vancouver and Kelowna, will be officially inaugurated at a ceremony Friday. “The centre seeks to further the inclusion and full citizenship of people with intellectual disabilities and their families, on a local, national and global basis,” said Rachelle Hole, associate professor with the School of Social Work and co-director of the centre. The centre was created to conduct research and create knowledge that will influence and inform policy and practices, says Hole. The CIC is the only university-based research centre in Canada with a dedicated focus on intellectual disability policy and practice. Kelowna couple Leanne and Dale Froese are self-advocate advisors who work with the centre.
“The centre has helped me be more assertive,” said Leanne, who has worked on a variety of projects with the centre, such as home sharing. “I am more outgoing and this helps me get into the community and talk to people and be comfortable.” Dale has been a long-time advocate of people with Down’s syndrome. “We are very active in self-advocacy. The centre helps us overcome these obstacles and limitations that we face in our lives.” Research is conducted in several key policy areas such as employment, transition planning for youth, non-residential supports and alternatives, home sharing aging, healthcare and assistive technology. The centre also works closely with individuals with developmental disabilities locally and across the province. Carole Robinson, an associate professor in the School of Nurs-
ing, is a co-researcher on a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council funded research project focused on home sharing being conducted by Hole and Professor Tim Stainton, directors of the centre. Sara Lige is the special projects officer for the CIC, and fourthyear bachelor of social work student Courtney Rogers is the current work-study student with the CIC at UBC Okanagan. Graduate students affiliated with the CIC include Jewelles Smith and Earllene Roberts, both in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies PhD program, and master of social work student Assunta Rosal. To mark the official opening of the centre on Friday, 1 p.m. will be a presentation by professor Tim Stainton, director of the School of Social Work and director of the Centre for Inclusion and Citizenship at UBC Vancouver. His topic of discussion is entitled Our Past: The History of Community Living.
“We are very active in self-advocacy. The centre helps us overcome these obstacles and limitations that we face in our lives. —Dale Froese, self advocate advisor for the UBCO Centre for Inclusion and Citizenship

Pressure welcomed by Rockets’ minder Cooke Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Each time Jordon Cooke gets the start in goal for the Kelowna Rockets, the 20-year-old netminder genuinely believes he has the best seat in the house. On top of watching the battle unfold right in front of his eyes, the Leduc, Alta. native especially relishes those moments when he’s the one in the eye of the storm. “I love it because as a goalie, you’re a gamechanger,” Cooke said. “A game can be won or lost because of you…I know there’s a lot of added pressure with that, but for me that’s exciting. It’s what I live for when I play.” Cooke’s affinity for pressure-packed situations is one big reason the 5-foot-10, 177-pound stopper has evolved into one of the Western Hockey League’s premier goaltenders. Last season, his third
WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
GOALTENDER Jordon Cooke put together a club-record 20-game winning streak with the Kelowna Rockets last season. in the WHL, Cooke posted 37 wins and a 2.53 goals against average,
while racking up a franchise-record 20 consecutive wins.
Head coach Ryan Huska said the Rockets will look for Cooke to be
a reliable and stabilizing force in his final season of major junior hockey. “We need him to be the rock back there for us, so when there are nights, especially early in the year when we might not be playing that well, we need him to be at his very best,” said Huska. “We expect him to be consistent with his games and to be a guy who can win us the odd game this year. With his background now and the experience he’s had, we think he’s more than capable of doing that.” Still, as much as Cooke heads into the season as the veteran incumbent between the pipes, he also understands the unpredictable nature of goaltending. With a capable backup, Jackson Whistle, waiting in the wings, Cooke knows solid, consistent play is a must if he plans on remaining in the driver’s seat. “Whoever’s playing well is going to start,
Sun loses appeal to have win restored It’s official—the Okanagan Sun’s season-opening 65-10 victory over the Chilliwack Huskers will go into the books as a defeat. An arbitrator this week ruled to uphold the B.C. Football Conference’s decision to overturn the Sun’s win on July 27 due to the use of an ineligible player. The BCFC rescinded the victory according to the following CJFL rule: “Should the player be ruled ineligible due to a major breech of eligibil-
ity rules (overage, suspension, unregistered and/ or other similar situation) the offending team shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $3,000 and forfeit game/s in which the ineligible player is on their roster.” Under the club’s interpretation of the rules, the Sun considered the penalty to be too severe and promptly field an appeal. As the player in question, Curtis Kelly, was registered with the Hamilton Hurricanes of the Ontario Football Confer-
ence it was the arbitrator’s opinion that the BCFC’s decision was “reasonable.” Although the verdict didn’t go the Sun’s way, president Paul Carson said the club respects the decision. “Obviously we are disappointed with the decision but we had our day in court and that is what we had asked for,” Carson said in a statement. “We respect the decision, as well as the time and effort of the arbitrator and thank him for the consideration.
We know he was diligent in his research of the situation and very much thank him for that.” With the loss now official, the Sun’s record sits at 5-2, good for a threeway tie for first place with Langley and the V.I. Raiders. With three games remaining, the Sun will finish no lower than second place and will have a minimum of one home playoff game. Carson said it’s time for the entire Sun club to shift the focus back to the
football field. “Despite the obvious difference of opinion between our team and the BCFC we are prepared to move forward and focus on winning our remaining games with our goal still being first place in the BCFC,” Carson said. “Hopefully our players coaches and management will see this this as rallying point for the remainder of our season.” The Sun returns to action this Saturday when they take on the Broncos in Kamloops.
hockey is all about getting the wins,” Cooke said. “Jackson and I know that, we’re going to push each other, so it makes for good competition. Right now I’m just going to take it a game at a time, look to get off to a good start and go from there.” Coming off a franchise record 52-win season and a solid performance from a personal perspective, it’s little surprise Cooke is setting both his and the team’s sights even higher in 2013-1v4. “My expectations are huge, coming off a good year both with the team and personally, I’m looking to build off that,” he said. “I had an unbelievable experience last year

Van Nistelrooy wins defensive player honour A stellar individual effort against the Valley Huskers on Saturday in Chilliwack has earned Brennan Van Nistelrooy the B.C.

The 20-year-old defensive back made seven tackles, had a batted ball and blocked a punt for a 15-yard touchdown in the Okanagan Sun’s 38-17 victory over the Huskers.

Mennear’s first BCHL goal helps Warriors down Vipers
West Kelowna Warriors forward Brett Mennear was back in school Wednesday morning but you could forgive the B.C. Hockey League rookie if his mind was elsewhere. Mennear, a 17-yearold Westside Minor Hockey product, tallied his first career BCHL goal on Tuesday night in a 5-3 Warriors win over Vernon, scoring in front of 892 fans at Royal LePage Place. It was Mennear’s first BCHL point, a short-handed, breakaway goal early in the third period that snapped a 2-2 tie with Vernon and helped propel the Warriors to their third straight win, improving to 3-2-0-0 on the season. “It was really exciting, especially because it was a tie game in the third period,” said Men-
near on Wednesday morning. “(Carl) Hesler gave me a breakaway pass and I was thinking low blocker the whole way. It was a relief to get that first goal. I don’t remember anything after I scored. It’s all a blur.” West Kelowna has now rattled off three straight wins after opening the season with a pair of losses at the BCHL Showcase event in Chilliwack to start the season. On Tuesday the Warriors top line of Seb Lloyd, David Pope and Jordan Masters led the way with three of the team’s goals. “Playing with Dave and Jordan they’re both great players and they both kind of play the way I like to play: Moving the puck and give-and-go’s,” said Lloyd. “It’s fun to play with them and I think it’s only
going to get better and better as we find a little more chemistry.” Ambrose Firkus had the other goal for the Warriors while Adam Plant had a pair of helpers and Andy Desautels earned the win in net. Mennear says the team got off to a bit of a slow start but has found its energy in the last few games. “It was a rough start to the season,” he said. “I think our team has found our legs and the chemistry is getting better so hopefully we can keep it going.” Up next for the Warriors is a home and home set with Salmon Arm this weekend as the two teams play Friday night at Royal LePage Place and Saturday night in Salmon Arm. The Silverbacks are off to a 2-1-0-1 start.

BOUCHERIE @ MOUAT
The Bears, who went 6-0 during the 2012 regular season, will be tested in their season opener on Friday afternoon as they travel to Abbotsford to take on the W.J. Mouat Hawks. Mouat’s attack features Maleek Irons, considered by many as the best high school running back in the country. Irons rushed for more than 3,200 yards in 12 games last season and has already piled up 787 yards in three preseason games. “It sounds kind of ridiculous but if we can limit him to 200 yards or less, we’ll be doing well,” Godwin said of Irons. “They’re an awesome team, but at the same time our defence has been surprisingly good this year. We’ll see what we can do against them.” The Bears more than held their own in preseason, losing 33-28 to per-

Ben Minaker threw a pair of TD passes—one each to Spencer Humes and Cole Geisler—and ran for another. On defense, Brock Zeleniski had six tackles and a pair of sacks. In junior varsity action, Boucherie whipped N.D. 40-8. Zac Callaghan led a dominant defense with six tackles and two sacks, while Dayton Moore caught two touchdown passes from quarter Tyler Toic.
KSS OWLS @ LORD TWEEDSMUIR
The Owls will kick off the season Friday afternoon in Surrey against the Lord Tweedmuir Panthers. Tweedmuir’s attack revolves around running back Jamel Lyles, regarded as one of the best players in B.C. “They’re a solid team, we’ll have our hands full but we’ll try to find a way to shut him down,” said Owls coach Shane Sommerfeld. “We have to hope to stay healthy, control the ball and the clock
and keep their offence off the field.” The Owls are young this season with three Grade 10 players starting in the defensive secondary. Injuries have also been a problem in the pre-

RUTLAND VOODOOS @ TERRY FOX
Pete McCall’s Voodoos will be in Coquitlam Friday to take on the Terry Fox Ravens in a tough, early-season test. The Ravens are ranked No. 2 in B.C. “We are definitely going to learn a lot this weekend,” said McCall, in his second tour of duty as the Voodoos’ head coach. “Hopefully playing the best early on will help us get up to speed, and get us ready for what will be a challenging year in this new eastern AAA conference.” The Voodoos finished the regular season with a 1-0-1 record after playing to a 14-14 tie with Vernon’s Clarence Fulton on a blistering hot Friday afternoon at RSS. Down 14-7, Mitch Walz hit Matt Walz with a TD pass midway through the fourth quarter for Rutland. Jason Varga converted the extra point to earn the tie.

Heat women fine tune for Canada West season
S
The UBC Okanagan Heat women’s squad will continue to fine tune for the new Canada West volleyball season with a couple of scrimmages at the Kelowna campus gym. The Heat will host the -Fraser Valley Cascades on mSaturday and Sunday. y The following week,end, Oct. 4 to 6, Steve Manuel’s crew will travel to the West Coast Classic, co-hosted by UBC and yTrinity Western. s Last weekend, the nHeat women took to the court for matches for the .first time since their run eto last spring’s Canada sWest playoffs and posted a 1-1 record against visiteing teams. On Saturday, UBCO held its own against the No. 2 ranked TWU Spardtans before going down in four sets (21-25, 18-25, 26-24, 20-25). h “I thought we played nquite well for most of the ymatch,” Manuel said after the game. “I thought we hcontrolled the second, and athird and fourth set comhpletely except for a few -rotations. (We) just gave -up a couple of runs and othat cost us the set.” With former Heat standout and outside hitter d sAlex Basso having graduated, a void was created on the offense, but that void looks already to be filling rapidly by secondyear hitter Kaitlynn Given and third-year Brianna
Beamish. The two each recorded 11 kills versus the Spartans. In their second match, the Heat took care of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies 3-1 (25-20, 25-18, 17-25, 25-17). Rutland grad Erin Drew was given ample playing time this time around, and did not squander it as she put up six kills and five blocks in the effort. Second-year hitter Megan Festival led the offensive charge for the heat, tallying the team’s best kill total of the day at 12. Heat coach Steve Manuel and his staff played around with different lineups. While he had former Canada West All-Star Emily Oxland set the match versus the Spartans, third-year Chandler Proch started against the Huskies. Proch, a KSS grad, is returning from a season of red shirting after recovering from injury. Proch looked sharp, forming a solid blocking duo alongside middle Katy Klomps and continually stumped the Huskies. “Emily set the first match, and (Saturday night) we gave the ball to Chandler, and I thought she did a great job,” Manuel said. “To me, we have a really great problem on our hands. We’ve got two setters who are really going to battle for a starting spot.”

Langara and Quest next up for UBCO Heat soccer teams Both UBC Okanagan Heat soccer teams are back on the road this weekend as they head to the Lower Mainland for a pair of PACWEST games. The UBCO women and men will visit Langara Saturday in Rich-
mond, before heading to Squamish to face the Quest Kermodes on Sunday. Both Heat teams are coming off a productive trip last weekend, as the women and men each earned a win and a draw.
HEAT WOMEN
On Saturday, the UBCO women and Kwantlen played to a 0-0 stalemate in Surrey. A scrappy match meant lots of physical play at both ends of the turf, making it difficult for
either team to get a foothold on the offense. “It was a choppy game with no real flow to the match,” said Heat coach Claire Paterson after the game. “We created chances but it was unfortunate that we couldn’t convert them.” Fourth-year keeper Christine Tallon (Kamloops) made her season debut against the Eagles after coming back from injury, notching her first shutout of the season. On Sunday in Coquitlam, rookie Haylee Lakovic scored her first two goals in leading the Heat (3-0-1) to a 3-0 shutout of Douglas College. “It was definitely a well fought match,” said Lakovic. “It got very physical but we kept composed and we played how we know how to and came out with a well-deserved win.” Michelle Smith scored the other goal on a penalty kick, while Tallone earned a second clean sheet in as many days for undefeated UBCO.

HEAT rookie Haylee Lakovic notched the first two goals of her university career to
lead UBC Okanagan past Douglas College Sunday in PACWEST women’s soccer. with a 0-0 draw against Kwantlen. A physical game resulted in very few quality chances on goal. “It was just one of those away games,” Heat coach Dante Zanatta commented after the match. “We created chances and didn’t finish them. They
defended quite well.” Keeper Logan Ellis posted the shutout, while third-year defender Harrison Shrimpton was named Heat Man of the Match. On Sunday, the Heat (2-1-1) earned their second win of the with a 3-0 decision over Doug-
las.
Logan Ellis posted his third straight shutout, as the Heat haven’t allowed a goal since the 75th minute of their season opener against VIU. Austin Jones, Logan Abbott and Enzo Paal scored UBCO’s goals.
Okanagan Rockets name leadership crew for 2013-14 With the new B.C. Major Midget League season set to begin, the Okanagan Rockets have unveiled their leadership group for the 2013-14 campaign. For the second consecutive year, forward Brendan Wagner will serve as the team’s captain. Joining Wagner will
be assistants Gen Bryshun, a three-year member of the Rockets program, and Cory Santoro who is in his second season with the club. Wagner, Bryshun, and Santoro are all in their 17-year-old midget season. “(Coach) Mack (O’Rourke) and I were completely on the same page when it came to our
leadership group.” said Rockets general manager David Michaud. “Brendan was an obvious choice as last year’s captain to build on his role from a year ago. “Both Gen and Cory have demonstrated a huge commitment to our program and both Mack and I feel strongly that this trio can lead our group to
great things this season,” Michaud said. The Rockets, who went 5-1-0 in the preseason, will kick off the regular season this weekend with two games against the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds at CNC. Games times are 3 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday.

▼ GARDENING
Tips on how to develop a healthy lawn M y last column was about how the installation process influences how a lawn performs over time. Without proper installation it is very difficult to manage, in particular because of poor drainage which never allows the root system of the turf grass to breath. A gradual buildup of thatch occurs as roots come to the surface for air then die because of exposure to drought. Contrary to most thinking, thatch is not a buildup of dead grass, but a thick layer of dead and living roots in which the turf grass is trying to grow. With diligent and time consuming management, a decent lawn can be achieved. However, this is obviously not the
Westbank Country Opry relocates to new stage The recent Westbank Lions Hall fire sent the executive of the Westbank Country Opry scrambling to find another facility to perform. That new location is the Emmanuel Church, next to the Holiday Inn in Westbank. The first performance will be Sunday, Sept. 29, 3 p.m., which is one hour later than the usual 2 p.m. start times in the past. Admission will continue to be $5/person. The Opry show has been bringing country music to local fans for over 17 years, the longest running live music show in the Okanagan. The Opry is a non-profit organization that has staged its show the last Sunday of each month from September through June at the community hall. None of the performers are paid, as they consider the show a gift to the community. The original Opry organizer, Lavern Panich, has been voted citizen of the year for his contribution to Westbank. He single handedly recruited musicians throughout the Okanagan to form a fourpiece Opry band that has evolved into a country music playing family of performers.
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett way to go. With proper installation, only minimal annual maintenance is required such as a spring cleanup with a power rake followed by a coring. Top dressing in spring and fall with some Nature’s Gold plus a feeding or two through the season with a good quality slow release turf fertilizer will keep you lawn in stellar condition. Even with a professional installation adhering to the B.C. Landscaping and Nursery Asso-
ciation standards, issues unrelated to compaction can occur at times. There are a few insect problems which can occur in the Okanagan although it is on rare occasions. Perhaps the most common is lawn moth or sod web worm. The larvae of this insect chews at the base of the grass blades just above the crown leaving large irregular brown patches in the lawn. It is easy to tell if the problem is lawn moths because the dead grass pulls off easily in handfuls. If this problem occurs, it is necessary to have a professional lawn care service come and deal with it since there is nothing on the retail shelves for homeowners to use.
Weeds can be a concern in turf grass but if managed on a regular basis and not get out of hand the problem can be minimized. Remember one dandelion going to seed will result in many hundreds of dandelions in the future; the same with clover, plantain, purslane and other seedy annual and perennial weeds. Again, if the weeds have taken over your turf then it is time to call in a professional to manage the problem. A common occurrence for me is to be called in during the summer months to figure out why a lawn is browning out in places only to discover it is just poor watering practices. Most of the time it is when there is an auto-

matic sprinkler system involved and the homeowner has the confidence it is working properly whereas after doing a simple test we find out it is the contrary. The simple test is to place pie plates or saucers around key areas of the lawn and turn on the sprinklers for 10 minutes. Measure the accumulation of water in each saucer and you will be amazed at the difference even though it looks as if the sprinklers are reaching all the areas of your lawn equally.

Celebrating 50 years of excellence
I
n one week, one of the most important institutions for our community and our economic future will celebrate its 50th anniversary. It’s hard not to be grateful and supportive of an institution that boasts the mission statement: “Okanagan College transforms lives and communities,” and that is exactly what Okanagan College does, for students pursuing a wide range of career D options. The B.C. Jobs Plan is our government’s strategy to create long-term jobs that maintain and grow a -strong economy. A strong economy is the best way for us to ensure that our children can sfind jobs in their homehtowns and communities, and contribute in a meaningful way to our economy. That is a big goal, and it won’t happen without skills and technical training. Okanagan College is B.C.’s largest trades school outside the Lower Mainland, and offers programs like the Women’s Trades Training Initiative, which increases women’s participation in the trades. The programs at Okanagan College prepare its students for today’s in-demand jobs. In addition to skills and technical training, Okanagan College con-

The ability to accommodate learners through continuing education, distance education, and flexible learning options make Okanagan College accessible to those who might otherwise not pursue education, and create opportunities for themselves and their families.

For the past several years, the Okanagan Valley has grown in leaps and bounds. Several industries have been lost and new and exciting businesses start, grow and flourish in this area. But, what will this piece of paradise look like in the future? What new industries are coming to the Okanagan? What will their needs be? One thing is that tomorrow’s workforce will need different skills. Or will they? We need to have an open and realist discussion on where paradise is going and what workers really need to attract to keep our valley vibrant and alive. A well-edu-
cated and trained workforce will attract more industry, more industry will attract a better educated and trained workforce and hopefully the growth continues and the Okanagan prospers. Ivy Talent and Trades and Technology International will hold a forum on Sept. 27, from noon to 3 p.m., at Okanagan College, with community leaders, major industry and up and coming companies to discuss Tomorrow’s Workers for Tomorrow’s Okanagan.

Breakfast kicks off fundraising campaign
Small business deduction for corporations
The 2013 United Way campaign is officially launching on Tuesday, Sept. 24, with tickets for its annual kickoff breakfast still available. The year’s kick-off promises to be the largest ever, being hosted at the Delta Grand Okanagan with room for up to 400 attendees, thanks to sponsorship from Gorman Brothers Lumber. The United Way’s honorary chair, Mike Roberts, will act as master of ceremonies. “For several years, we were hosting breakfasts both in Kelowna and West Kelowna to kick-off the Central Okanagan campaign, and while we recognize our region is made of several communities, hosting multiple events was very time intensive,” explained United Way executive director Marla O’Brien. “So we were so grateful that Gorman Brothers stepped up to sponsor a regional event, and are looking forward to a room full of energy to make our community strong.” The kick-off breakfast has traditionally launched the United Way’s campaign season, and this year will highlight stories from people and organizations that have benefited from the investment made by donors throughout the region. “Campaign time is a concentrated focus on raising funds, and sometimes the impact that is made with the contributions gets lost. We want to ensure everyone understands the difference that their participation makes, whether they give of their time, knowledge or dollars,” said O’Brien. The breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 24 and tickets are $25/person, available at http://centralcampaignkickoff-es2.eventbrite.ca/.

Corporations are normally taxed federally at a rate of 38 per cent. However, one of the tax reductions available is the ability to claim the small business deduction of 17 per cent up to the small business limit of $500,000 provided that the corporation qualifies for the deduction. The purpose of the deduction is to help smaller businesses retain more after tax income for reinvestment and expansion to fight the higher financing and capital costs that face small incorporated businesses. The small business deduction is defined in Section 125 of the Income Tax Act. In order to qualify for this deduction the corporation must be a Canadian controlled private corporation that carries on active business in Canada, including an adventure in the nature of trade. A Canadian controlled private corporation means that the corporation is a small business corporation that must be incorporated in Canada and have its head office in Canada. It can have non-resident shareholders, but it must be controlled by Canadian resident shareholders. It must be a private
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka corporation that does not trade stock on any stock exchange. An adventure in the nature of trade means that the business attempted to enter into a sideline or other business venture where it would not normally operate in order to determine whether it could expand into that area. A small business corporation is defined as a corporation that uses 90 per cent of the fair market value of its assets to create active business income in Canada. The definition of an active business in Canada means that the corporation must be receiving operating income in Canada excluding income from property. It cannot be a specified investment business and cannot be a personal services business. The purpose of a business needs to be determined on an annual basis to determine if it still qualifies for the deduction.

Pulling an all-nighter for art and culture Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Nuit Blanche may literally mean white night, but in colloquial terms it means “all nighter” and the French Cultural Centre wants to showcase how this plays out in contemporary Quebecois culture. The Nuit Blanche events were the brainchild of Jean Blaise, founder of the Centre de recherche pour le développement culturel, a research centre for cultural development located in Nantes, France. It was originally a six-day festival to celebrate the arts by turning the streets into an open-air museum. Running for six years, from 1989 to 1984, the event formed the seed of the one night all nighter now widely celebrated around the world. “In Montreal, everyone is out in the streets. It seems like half the city is out,” said Jasmine Lanthier-Brun, cultural coordinator for the French Cultural Centre on Richter Street at Bernard Avenue. Known for throwing more traditional celebrations, like Maple Fest, Lanthier-Brun said she wanted the French Cultural Centre to start showcasing some more contemporary Quebecois culture as well when she came up with the idea to host a Nuit Blanche in Kelowna. The event will start slowly. For one night, from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m., the centre will hold an arts,
film, music and general entertainment night in an effort to try and see a wider Nuit Blanche celebration in Kelowna in years to come. Celebrating during national Cultural Days, it will be a free event—part of the mandate of the national Culture Days initiative—although there will be a bar and snacks for purchase as it will run with a liquor licence, limiting attendance to those 19 years of age and older. There will be two DJS, DJ Froggy Stylz, a French Canadian focused on electronic house, and Colin Syck, who remixes French and Anglo Canadian disco. A puppet show from FEMS, Farm Expression Marionette Shows, will play out along one wall and an artist will do graffiti in the back parking lot. Artists will be on hand to do collaborative work and Cassandre Campeau will give a reading. The evening will conclude with a showing of Over My Dead Body, a film by director Brigitte Poupart about a dancer with cystic fibrosis. The aim of the evening isn’t to stay all night but to come out, socialize, take a look around and help get this new concept started in the Okanagan. “I would love to see the city and others in the arts and cultural community get on board for this nocturnal festival,” said Lanthier-Brun, who envisions it stretching from

MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis Prisoners is a mystery-thriller starring Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Melissa Leo, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard and Viola Davis that is getting rave critical reviews, especially for director Denis Villeneuve. Hailing from Quebec, Villeneuve is best known for the Academy Award-nominated Incendies two years ago and critics are using words like “sensational,” “intense,” “riveting” and “masterpiece” to describe Prisoners. It was also the runner-up for People’s Choice Award for Best Film at TIFF. Jackman plays a father living his worst nightmare—his six-year-old daughter and her friend have been kidnapped. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on their street. Gyllenhaal plays the lead detective in the investigation and the RV’s driver is arrested but lack of evidence forces his release. Knowing his child’s life is at stake, the frantic

Canadians prove their worth in the director’s chair Davis from B2 father decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands—but how far will he have to go to protect his family? Prisoners was not the only success that Villeneuve had at TIFF. He had a second movie with Gyllenhaal which also received raves called Enemy. Watch for it later this year or early next year. Another movie that premiered at TIFF and is opening in Kelowna to-
morrow is the comedy The Art of the Steal. Canadian writer-director Jonathan Sobol previously delighted festival-goers with A Beginner’s Guide to Endings three years ago and he has gathered Hollywood legends Kurt Russell, Matt Dillon and Terence Stamp, along with Canadian talents Jay Baruchel, Chris Diamantopoulos, Katheryn Winnick and Jason Jones for this cross-border caper. Russell plays Crunch Calhoun, a motorcycle
daredevil and semi-reformed art thief who agrees to pull off one more heist with his brother Nicky (Dillon). When Crunch gets his old team back together to steal a priceless historical book, the plan leads into another riskier plan formed by Nicky. The two brothers don’t realize that each of them have their own hidden agenda. The trailer for The Art of the Steal reminded me of movies like the great Elmore Leonard adap-
tations Get Shorty and Out of Sight as well as Ocean’s 11. Yet another movie from TIFF could see director Ron Howard in the Oscar race again. Rush is the true story of the rivalry between Formula One drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. I will predict that you do not have to be a racing fan to enjoy this movie and your first chance to see it is next Thursday at 8 p.m. And watch for other TIFF favourites over the
next few weeks including director Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, which fellow director James Cameron called the best space movie ever.
Also opening soon is Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut (in which he also stars) with Don Jon, an edgy romantic comedy also starring Scarlett Johansson.

Sadly, another dud drops THE FAMILY The Mob Family of Giovanni Manzoni (Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, John D’Leo and Dianna Agron) become Fred Blake, Maggie Blake, Warren Blake and Belle Blake under the Witness Protection Program and end up in a small town in Normandy—not since the landing has there been more gunfighting. This could have been and should have been funny, but it wasn’t—it was mostly slow with the only real action taking place during the last 10 minutes of the show. Of the six people in the theatre on Sunday afternoon, no one laughed even once during the couple of hours. Lines like: “Why did you beat him to a pulp? He’s the only plumber in 20 miles,” isn’t exactly worth even a chuckle.
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen De Niro seems uncomfortable in this one. The only time he seems to come alive is during the scenes when he’s talking about the “Goodfellas.” Pfeiffer sometimes has a Brooklyn accent, but the young Blakes perform well. In addition, Tommy Lee Jones as FBI Agent, Robert Stanfield, could have been playing a Men in Black role—the dialogue was almost the same. So, The Family made $14.5 million this weekend. It had a $30-million budget (likely used to pay off the ‘wise guys’). The big box of-

of rest and sipping small amounts of fluids to stay hydrated, eventually moving to small amounts of bland, easily-digested foods. Of course, if there is no real change over a long period of time, other, more serious, medical conditions should be considered. Acupuncture offers great relief for nausea and vomiting with little or no side-effects. There has been a
great deal of research into the benefits of acupuncture for nausea caused by chemotherapy, radiation, pregnancy, morning sickness, surgery and HIV, demonstrating its effectiveness for nausea. Nausea and vomiting are signs that the stomach qi-energy is flowing in the wrong direction. Normally, the action of the stomach is to move food downwards. However, sometimes the stomach energy will

Fewer lines and wrinkles, thicker hair, stronger nails and denser bones.
Collagen is the key. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen which prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair, strong nails and denser, more flexible bones. But over the years, collagen diminishes.
Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced
collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increased risk of fracture for bones.

Homebuyers can obtain valuable information such as the name and contact number of the warranty provider, the builder’s warranty number and whether an owner-built home can be legally offered for sale. Every new home built for sale by a Licensed Residential Builder in British Columbia is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. Better known as 2-5-10 home warranty insurance, this coverage includes: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope (including water penetration), and 10 years on the structure. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. For free access to the New Homes Registry visit the Homebuyers section of the HPO website.

At present there is no actual cure for osteoarthritis, but it can be managed in a number of ways. A physiotherapist will be able to diagnose the osteoarthritis and identify the reason it has developed in the knee. Initial treatment will often focus around settling down the inflammation and swelling, and reducing the pain. An exercise program catered to the individual’s specific needs will also be an important part of the treatment program, enabling the person to improve knee range of motion, increase knee strength, and improve overall function of the knee. Wear and tear in our knees is something many of us will experience in our lives, but there are things we can do to manage it and continue to live an active life.

▼ LITERACY
Celebrating Your Curves
Free English, math tutoring offered Are you pursuing a career in trades, technology, health care or social development? Could you use the support of a skilled tutor to help you with English, math or some other subject matter that you need to master? If you answered yes to these questions, then Project Literacy Kelowna Society’s new LIFT program is designed with you in mind. Project Literacy’s highly qualified tutors will work with anyone trying to upgrade their literacy skills, whether they need help to get into a college program, help while they are taking their courses, or help preparing for certification exams. They will also help those who already have jobs but feel they could perform better or advance more quickly if they could enhance their skills through literacy tutoring. Learners entering the LIFT program, meet initially with a Project Literacy education coordinator to describe their goals and identify the
area, in which they will need tutoring help. Their education coordinator will assess their existing understanding of the subject matter using provincially adopted community-based adult literacy benchmarks and assign them to a tutor with the specific expertise they require. The learner and the tutor establish a meeting schedule that suits them both. This initiative has been launched in response to provincial government reports that during this time of high unemployment, hundreds of skilled and semi-skilled jobs remain unfilled, or are being filled with foreign workers. In fact, the provincial government predicts that by 2020, there will be almost 1.3 million new job openings and only around 650,000 new graduates to potentially fill them. So, it only makes sense to help people who want to acquire the skills that are in demand. Anyone interested in taking part
in the LIFT program should call the Project Literacy office at 250 762 2163 or email admin@projectliteracykelowna.org. Project Literacy’s mandate is to help adults achieve their full potential at work, home and in the community through free individualized literacy instruction. Its goals are to provide a friendly atmosphere where learners can improve their literacy; to provide professional training and support to volunteer tutors; and, to raise the funds necessary to fulfill its mandate in a sustainable manner. Sponsorship of this program has been generously provided by the Central Okanagan Partners for Literacy and Decoda Literacy Solutions. For more information please contact Diana Groffen, executive director of Project Literacy Kelowna Society, at 250-762-2163 or email her at diana@project literacykelowna.org.

ment and Social Development Canada to develop or improve occupational skills may also be claimed. In meeting with a very well regarded local manufacturer in West Kelowna earlier this month, the challenge of finding skilled workers was identified in spite of offering very well paying local positions. With close to a dozen different tours of local manufactures over the past few months, I have yet to encounter one that has not reported similar challenges in finding skilled workers. I would urge many students entering into post-secondary education to give strong consideration to trades-oriented training opportunities. Another tax relief program that post-secondary students may take advantage of is the ability to claim an education amount of $400 for each entire or part month in the year that they are enrolled in a full-time qualifying educational program, or $120 per month for parttime enrolment in a specified educational program, at a designated educational institution.

where they qualify for the full-time education amount or $20 for each part-time month. In all of these programs it’s very important to keep your receipts, as they must be used to apply for the various tax rebates. Last year there was roughly $11 billion claimed by students and families in tax relief to help absorb the costs of post-secondary education. Although this is a very significant amount of financial assistance, there still yet may be qualifying students and families that are unaware that this and other tax relief is available. The importance of investing in your future with a quality education is one that can never be emphasized enough. I hope all students have a productive and enjoyable school year. Much as investments in education are important, so too are investments into infrastructure. As part of my summer listening tour I had the opportunity to participate in many ribbon cutting events celebrating the completion of various much needed infrastructure work. Road projects, sewer and water systems and increasingly, public walkways, are just some of the

many improvements to many communities within Okanagan-Coquihalla. Recently I was asked by a senior resident to put our government’s commitment to infrastructure funding into perspective. By the numbers since 2006, our government has contributed towards the creation to over 43,000 projects Canada-wide. The new Building Canada plan also includes $70 billion in federal infrastructure funding over the next 10 years. In the next two years alone over $10 billion will be invested into infrastructure. By ensuring that our infrastructure commitment is guaranteed over a 10 year cycle local government can better plan priorities and also budget accordingly. However we should also recognize that virtually every aspect of infrastructure planning, development, engineering, building and often maintenance is performed by individuals with some level of post-secondary training and/or education. So as our children return to the classrooms this fall, let us all recognize the importance of education in the future of our great country. Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla. www.danalbas.com

BIDEN, JUNE GWENDOLYN
BRANDLEY, IRENE
Nov. 17, 1921 – Sept. 10, 2013
It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of our aunt, Irene Brandley, on September 12, 2013, at the age of 99 years. She passed away peacefully in her sleep at Lakeview Lodge, West Kelowna with members of her family present. Born Irene Wood, on July 31, 1914 in Saskatoon Sask., where she lived, was educated and worked until she enlisted in the RCAF in 1942. Her first posting was “overseas” to Newfoundland in a communications unit. She found this to be a great adventure until her discharge in 1946. She continued her affiliation with the RCAF being a member of the Air Force Association, and also as a member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 58 years. She and her late husband Don both received their 50 Year Medals in 2005. They were the only couple to receive Year of the Veteran medals for 50 years as members of the Royal Canadian Legion. Following her discharge from the Air Force, it was on to the next adventure; marriage to her husband, Donald Brandley, who predeceased her in 2006 after almost 60 years of marriage. Being in the RCAF, they were posted to many places in Canada; their final posting before retirement being Cold Lake, Alberta. During their time there she did volunteer work in addition to working as an Adult Education Coordinator for the North for the Department of Education. She and Don moved to the Okanagan in 1983 to enjoy a well-earned retirement featuring much golf, travel and Bridge, at which she was an avid player. Predeceased by her parents, George and Jane Ann (“Jenny”) Wood of Saskatoon, sister Emily Dillon (Jack) of Winnipeg, and brother William (Bill) (Bernice) Wood of Kelowna. She leaves to mourn, her nephews Stanley Wood (Sandy) and George Wood (Marci) together with four great nephews and one great niece, two great-great nephews and five great-great nieces. Sincere thanks to Dr. Mike Banwell for the care and guidance he provided over many years and the staff at Lakeview Lodge in West Kelowna for their care and compassion; it is truly appreciated. A Memorial Service will be held in Kelowna at the Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, at 1:00 PM Saturday, September 21, 2013. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your favourite charity. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
In loving memory, the family wishes to announce the passing of June (Junie) Biden at age 91, on September 10, 2013. June passed away peacefully at Kelowna General Hospital with the family by her side. Predeceased by her husband Douglass Edmond Biden, she is survived by her sons Bill Biden (wife Cindy), Mike Biden (wife Shelly) and daughter Karen Ostry (husband Mark), her many grandchildren and great grandsons. June’s journey took her from her birthplace of Kingston, Ontario through stops in Great Britain, France and the United States of America; finally retiring in Kelowna, BC. June loved to laugh, joke around all the while enjoying family and friends, many whom were more like extended family. A very special thanks to the staff at the CHATSWORTH RETIREMENT HOME for the kindness and special care afforded her, these last few years. A very special thanks and recognition is extended to all the kitchen staff, cleaning staff and care givers who took the time to support her with kindness and special care. To the hospital staff on the fourth floor of the Kelowna General Hospital, we the family wish to thank you for the respectful, dignified and professional care which you all provided June in her final hours. Our mother was so fortunate to have such dedicated staff to provide such compassionate care. The family wishes to express a very special thanks to Dr. G. Verster and his staff for their compassionate care over the years. Celebration of life will be Saturday, September 28, 2013 at 4:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 220 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Dozens of volunteers from the Westbank First Nation and the new Toronto Dominion bank branch in Okanagan Lake Shopping Centre on WFN land, got down and dirty planting trees and bushes along Highway 97 nearby on Wednesday. The beautification project, which will see 145 native trees and bushes planted, with a variety of bloom times and leaf colours, is part of the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation’s annual TD Tree Day. Kristen Bonin, manager of the new TD branch, said a group of her employees came out to help put in the greenery, alongside their customers and band members. Irrigation was put in underground by the WFN prior to the planting and the weeds that had been a feature along that section of highway, between the overpass and the underpass across from the new shopping centre, were cleared
out by WFN staff too, she said. Barry Teichroeb, landscape and parks supervisor for the WFN, said he ordered saskatoon, elder, mock orange and dogwood bushes as well as a few maple and mayday trees. However, there were concerns that trees would get in the way of highway signage, so there were limited spots they could be planted. Without the contribution from the TD FEF group, he said there likely would just have been some wild grasses planted along the highway. Instead, there will be fruit and seeds for local birds, as well as a colourful array of flowers and leaves as the seasons change. Both employees and volunteers from the band office came out to help put in the plants. In all, more than 5,000 trees will be planted by 900 volunteers, including many bank employees, customers and community partners at 20 sites across the province as part of the an-

West Kelowna raises issues at UBCM

Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Five members of West Kelowna council are utilizing their opportunity to discuss areas of concern with provincial government representatives at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities 2013 Convention in Vancouver this week. So far, the district has brought forward the issues of Crown land grants, road maintenance, a second crossing over Okanagan Lake, a Westside health
centre and new approaches to federal gas tax funding with several provincial ministers. “I’m a real defender of the value of UBCM,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. “We have tremendous connections to the province… we have to work together.” First the district sat down with Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, to discuss West Kelowna’s interest in securing tenure through a License of Occupation and Free Sponsored
Crown Grant for 2515 Bartley Rd. for municipal yard purposes. “We were told that progress is being made on our file and that we are very close,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. Next, West Kelowna got the ear of Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. District representatives explained to Stone that West Kelowna conducted an assessment of its roads and bridges prior to taking over responsibility for maintenance ser-

vices in December 2012. That assessment indicated $467,000 in repairs were needed. A further inspection, conducted jointly with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, found $1.2 million in repairs needed. “We moved the yardsticks on that one—we will receive either some funding or some work done to district roads. “That’s worth the price of the trip right there, to see that we’re going to get support to address some of the

road deficiencies that were left with us.” Minister Stone also raised the topic of a second crossing over Okanagan Lake. “There are an awful lot of options and issues that need to be studied and brought together (into) one report. We’re suggesting they do a corridor study for the Okanagan Valley.” The district spoke to Coralee Oakes, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, about its interest in changing the

Drug dealer cohort testifies in Brittney Irving murder case Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR
The drug order Brittney Irving was scrambling to fill in the days leading up to her disappearance and death was for 70 pounds of marijuana, according to a drug broker Irving was working with.
Text messages between Irving and Brad Saari were read out in court during Joelon Verma’s murder trial on Wednesday, detailing the duo’s efforts to buy and sell marijuana for both Irving’s big deal and other orders that Saari was looking to fill. The court heard that
Saari and Irving would receive samples of various sized lots of marijuana to present to their buyer, and then arranged the price they were willing to pay for the pot if it was deemed acceptable by the buyer. Saari was initially approached via text message on April 4, 2010 about
helping Irving fill her 70 pound order, the court heard. Irving told Saari via text that she was getting together the order with a friend. “He’s doing it to help me with a lawyer,” she wrote. The previous month, the court heard, Irving was arrested for grow-
ing marijuana. She was last seen alive on April 6, 2010 and her Ford Explorer was found abandoned on Philpott Road on April 7, 2010—ironically the same road she had once lived on. Saari testified that he learned from Irving that she had once lived at a Philpott Road property
that he owned. He had a grow operation at the property, but didn’t know if Irving had ever tended a grow at that location. “She mentioned it had a nice spot to do it, but she didn’t mention whether she did it herself,” Saari testified. Saari, the court heard, met Irving within the
year before her death and began a sexual relationship with her. Soon after, he learned she was a drug broker, as he was at the time, and they completed some drug deals before her death in April 2010. Joelon Verma is on trial for first degree murder in connection to her death.
West Kelowna firefighters launch 2014 calendar fundraiser
West Kelowna firefighters are often visible as they work throughout the community, but they’re hoping locals will see them every day next year. Last week, the West Kelowna Professional Firefighters Association hosted the official sales launch of their 2014 charitable calendar. Thanks to local business sponsors, 100 per cent of proceeds from sales of the $10 calen-

dars will go toward the West Kelowna Firefighters Charitable Society. The society supports many charities such as the Westbank Boys and Girls Club, West Kelowna Community Food Bank, Muscular Dystrophy Canada and the British Columbia Professional Firefighters Burn Fund. The majority of calendar sales will go toward West Kelowna’s goal of raising $25,000 to help fund a new Burn Fund
Centre. “Earlier this year B.C. Burn Fund came to us… and asked if we could pledge some money toward a new building that’s going down on the coast,” said Mike Kay, West Kelowna Firefighters Burn Fund representative. “We, of course, all decided that we would go for that. We have all pledged a dollar a day from our own personal bank accounts, along with fundraising, until we reach the
$25,000.” The money will go toward a new facility in Vancouver that will not only house burn survivors, but also their families. Some firefighter calendars have been known to show workers wearing only parts of their uniforms; however, the pictures in West Kelowna’s version are of a more professional nature. “We went with a calendar that was us doing our job; we had a photog-
rapher follow us around throughout our day,” said Kay. The 2014 West Kelowna firefighters’ calendar can be purchased for $10 at Fire Station 31 (3651 Old Okanagan Hwy.), Fire Station 32 (2708 Olalla Rd.), West Kelowna Municipal Hall (2760 Cameron Rd.) and several other businesses throughout West Kelowna. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com
Clark sits in on West Kelowna’s meeting with health minister UBCM from A1 Canada-B.C. UBCM Gas Tax Distribution formula to provide funds directly to local governments. “We believe that providing the funding on a per capita basis directly to municipalities would allow individual areas to pursue projects of local importance while still meeting the spirit and requirements of the fund.” If the per capita basis funding model is not accepted, West Kelowna requests to be moved to a Tier 1 funding model, which allows 75 per cent of funding for municipal level projects and 25 per cent for regionally significant projects. The five West Kelowna representatives were surprised Wednesday when Premier Christy Clark—who is also the Westside-Kelowna MLA—sat in on the dis-
trict’s meeting with Minister of Health Terry Lake. The talk was focused on moving forward with plans for a West Kelowna health centre. “Both Minister Lake and our MLA, the premier, are taking a great interest in this file, trying to move the health centre idea forward in terms of a facility that would involve both public and private health services and consolidate services into more of a single location in the Westbank area.” Council then presented Premier Clark with an overview of their priorities. “She really wants to do a good job for us, very sincerely. That’s good for us and good for the community.” A BC Hydro representative also spoke to West Kelowna council about the district’s ongoing interest in BC Hy-
dro providing an additional, secondary electrical transmission line to the municipality to ensure service. West Kelowna is the largest community in B.C. that is supplied by a single line.
“Although we were told that construction of a second transmission line is even more remote than before, they appear to have done some work in an effort to protect our service. “They conducted
z O . s r D staff and
wildfire mitigation along the line and replaced older infrastructure, so we are less likely to experience interruption due to a forest fire or failing equipment. The councillors joining Mayor Doug Findlater at UBCM are Rick
de Jong, Carol Zanon, David Knowles and Gord Milsom. West Kelowna council members are scheduled to meet with John Rustad,

Stern schedule faces Central Okanagan teams Newly formed league means more road trips for high school football teams
Warren Henderson
STAFF REPORTER
Unlike past years, the Central Okanagan’s three AAA football teams will be getting a full dose of Lower Mainland opponents during the 2013 regular season. West Kelowna’s Mt. Boucherie Bears, Kelowna Owls and Rutland Voodoos are set to kick off the new campaign this weekend as members of B.C. high school football’s newly-aligned Eastern Conference. The Okanagan AAA conference was disbanded for this season when the Salmon Arm Golds dropped out. Bears’ head coach
Mike Godwin counts himself among the proponents of the new conference alignment which

IT’S GOING TO BE TOUGHER, THAT’S FOR SURE. IT’S BETTER FOOTBALL, BUT THAT’S HOW YOU GET BETTER. I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE GOOD FOR ALL OF THE TEAMS IN THE INTERIOR. Mike Godwin, Mt. Boucherie Bears head coach
features seven regular season games—five against Coastal teams and two against Okanagan opponents. “It’s going to be

lar season, will be tested in their season opener on Friday afternoon as they travel to Abbotsford to take on the W.J. Mouat Hawks. Mouat’s attack features Maleek Irons, considered by many as the best high school running back in the country. Irons rushed for more than 3,200 yards in 12 games last season and has already piled up 787 yards in three preseason games. “It sounds kind of ridiculous but if we can limit him to 200 yards or less, we’ll be doing well,” Godwin said of Irons. “They’re an awesome team, but at the same time our defence has been surprisingly good this year. We’ll see what we can do against them.” The Bears more than held their own in preseason, losing 33-28 to perennial powerhouse Van College, then beating Notre Dame 24-8 last Friday night at the Apple Bowl. Ben Minaker threw a pair of TD passes—one each to Spencer Humes and Cole Geisler—and ran for another. On defense, Brock Zeleniski had six tackles and a pair of sacks. In junior varsity action, Boucherie whipped N.D. 40-8. Zac Callaghan led a dominant defense with six tackles and two sacks, while Dayton Moore caught two touchdown passes from quarter Tyler Toic.
KSS OWLS @ LORD TWEEDSMUIR
The Owls will kick off the season Friday afternoon in Surrey against the Lord Tweedmuir Panthers. Tweedmuir’s attack revolves around running back Jamel Lyles, regarded as one of the best players in B.C. “They’re a solid team, we’ll have our hands full but we’ll try to find a way to shut him down,” said Owls coach Shane Sommerfeld. “We have to hope to stay healthy, control the ball and the clock and keep their offence off

Injuries have also been a problem in the preseason with four twoway starters missing last week’s 39-13 exhibition loss at South Delta. KSS quarterback Shawn Gordon connected with Grade 10 receiver Parker Simson with two touchdown passes to account for the Owls’ scoring. The Owls went 1-1 in preseason.
RUTLAND VOODOOS @ TERRY FOX
Pete McCall’s Voodoos will be in Coquitlam Friday to take on the Terry Fox Ravens in a tough, early-season test.

the Voodoos’ head coach. “Hopefully playing the best early on will help us get up to speed, and get us ready for what will be a challenging year in this new eastern AAA conference.” The Voodoos finished the regular season with a 1-0-1 record after playing to a 14-14 tie with Vernon’s Clarence Fulton on a blistering hot Friday afternoon at RSS. Down 14-7, Mitch Walz hit Matt Walz with a TD pass midway through the fourth quarter for Rutland. Jason Varga converted the extra point to earn the tie. Justice Dovich scored the other major on a pass from Mitch Walz. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com
