Blanleil cited Tree fruit damage could cost $18 million Apple for business harvest leadership quality Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce has named local businessman Andre Blanleil its Business Leader of the Year for 2013. The chamber says the award recognizes and celebrates Blanleil’s outstanding contribution to the business community in Kelowna. “Andre is a good example of success, risk-taking and balancing business with civic commitment in the Okanagan,” said Caroline Grover, CEO of the chamber. “He was a City of Kelowna-appointed director (as a city councillor) on the chamber board for a number of years, through 2008, and brought the chamber that all-important municipal view on business matters.” Blanleil, who has sat on council for nearly 20 years and regularly finishes near the top of the polls in civic elections, is often seen as overtly pro-business and, in his words “right-wing.” But he said it’s a label that is not always accurate. Comparing himself to another popular, long-time city councillor, Andrew Blanleil Robert Hobson—someone often seen as more centrist, or even left of centre—Blanleil said 95 per cent of the time he and Hobson are on the same page when it comes to municipal matters. Reached in Williams Lake, where he was working on the construction site of his 18th Andre’s Electronic Experts store, Blanleil said he was surprised to hear he had won the award. “Of course, I’m pretty happy about it,” he said. Blanleil’s chain of electronics stores are located throughout the B.C. Interior and sell a full range of home sound and vision electronics as well as appliances and mobile phones. He started the chain in 1980 at the age of 23 when he took over the retail operation of his father’s television See Business A12
It’s now estimated that $15- to $18-million in damage will be paid in insurance claims to tree fruit growers affected by hailstorms and spring frost this year. That’s two or three times the normal amount of weather-related damage tree fruit growers normally claim through production insurance, from the business risk management branch of the provincial agriculture ministry, notes director Gary Falk. “It was a busy year,” he said, with 1,200 claims in total. And, it continued long past the normal hail period of mid-July to mid-August, with a Sept. 30 hailstorm that affected growers in pockets throughout the Okanagan Valley, he noted. Already $2 million has been paid out to growers who sustained damage, but Falk said many growers will defer their claims until next year when they receive their ‘packout’ numbers, and know what they will receive for this season’s fruit, and how much of it had to be diverted to juice, or was downgraded because of damage. Earlier estimates of damage couldn’t be made because the crop insurance adjusters have to look at the damage related to production, and that’s not known until harvest, he explained. The majority of the damage, 75 per cent to 80 per cent was from hailstorms that moved

AS PICKERS like Mario Cordeyo Lopez, of Mexico, pluck the last apples from trees in the Central Okanagan this year, estimates of the damage caused to tree fruit crops by weather this past season are becoming clear. through the valley this summer, including a devastating one in mid-August that was centred on the KLO Road, Spiers and Swamp Road areas. In the aftermath of that storm, growers were left with fruit that was cut as well as bruised by hailstones described as the
size of marbles and crops in some orchards were a complete write-off. In all, more than 800 hail claims were registered this year with his branch, said Falk. In the southern part of the valley, spring frost resulted in crop reductions and damage and cherries
in some parts of the valley were damaged by rain. As well as tree fruits, Falk said another $500,000 in damage was sustained by the grape industry, largely to the Coronation table grape crop, mostly from the mid-August hailstorm. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
An estimated 100,000 bins full of crisp, sweet, ripe apples are being trucked to packinghouses in the Central Okanagan this fall, despite it being a lighter-than-normal crop due to weather damage this past season. Quality of the fruit that survived the hailstorms and spring frost is good, reports grower services manager Hank Markgraf with the B.C. Tree Fruits Co-operative. And, prices are good, reports marketing manager Chris Pollock, with the co-op. In fact, last year’s prices were high as a result of a low North American crop due to a late frost affecting crops along the eastern side of the continent, and this year’s prices are higher, he said. Sales are similar to the past couple of seasons, with about 3,000 more 40-pound cartons sold so far over last year. Prices are slightly above last year overall, he reports. A favourite on markets so far have been the Honeycrisp apple, which is selling better than any

Lawyers make final arguments in Verma murder trial Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
There is no way a jury could find Joelon Verma guilty based on the circumstantial evidence outlined at length Wednesday by Crown counsel, according to defence lawyer Jordan Watt. “Look at all of the unsavoury individuals” Brittney Irving was in contact with, said Watt as he began his closing statement late Wednesday afternoon. “You must consider the value of the evidence in its entirety and you will realize when you do that reasonable doubt exists,” he said. Verma, who stands accused of killing 24-year-old drug dealer Brittney Irving, never testified in his trial and he doesn’t need to do so, Watt informed the jury. He has a constitutional right to remain silent and he should, his lawyer said, noting the onus is on the Crown to prove he is guilty. Watt stated from the outset of the investigation, Verma demonstrated he had nothing to hide answering questions from police officers, Irving’s brother and her contacts in the drug world. He even tried to help find drugs she owed after her disappearance, he pointed out. The implication, Watt argued, is
that Verma didn’t know what had happened to Irving; he had nothing to hide. While Crown counsel Iain Currie contends Verma had a “140,000 reasons” to want Brittney Irving out of the way, as he argued in his closing submissions, Watt’s closing was largely focused on the lack of evidence connecting Verma to the shooting. “Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is not based upon a hunch,” he said. “…When juries have gone wrong in the past is when they have ignored the absence of evidence.” While there is a trail of cell phone messages the jury has been asked to make inferences from, a string of relationships they are being asked to connect the dots on, and a body found suspiciously close to where the defendant’s own cousin says he helped the accused dislodge a stuck vehicle, there is no evidence directly linking Verma to the murder, said Watt. During the Crown’s closing argument, which took the bulk of the day, Currie did not disagree his evidence was circumstantial. “There’s only one way to look at this…one brick at a time,” he said as he waded through text messages, phone records and testimony the jury heard over the past four and a half weeks. Records and testimony show that
Irving, was working to get together a big drug deal with Verma, her boyfriend, to help pay for her legal fees after being busted for a marijuana grow operation on March 26, 2010, he said. On April 1, 2010, after Irving texted Verma about needing to make money, Verma responded: “Well, we’re good for that, don’t worry.” (Also in text) “I have until tomorrow to find out who I am going to do this with,” she wrote. He also referred to a second option to go to the coast for the deal. Irving spent the days leading up to her death searching for marijuana for the deal, believed to be for around 70 pounds. She grew increasingly stressed on April 5, the day before she disappeared, and put off meeting with Verma, the text messages showed. On the April 6, she was still working to fill the order and at 12:32 p.m. Verma texted her: “WTF?” “Babe, just relax. I’m trying to hustle. Sorry, I’ll try to be there soon,” she wrote back. “If I have to go to the coast, I want to leave now,” he wrote. “So you make the call.” Just after 1 p.m., she texted and said she would meet with him in 10 minutes. More than two and a half hours later, he sent her a text saying he had
been waiting for her all day. Verma later told police he never met up with Irving that day and he wasn’t the one helping her with the big deal. He was just waiting to meet up for a two pound deal, he suggested. But a two-pound deal wouldn’t pay Irving’s lawyer’s bills, the purpose for her last dealings, the Crown argued. “Mr. Verma’s statements are fabrications,” said Currie. “It’s part of the pattern of deception.” Verma told police that instead of investigating him for her murder, they should be looking at what Irving was doing. “Look at the houses she lost, look at the money she lost,” Verma told an officer two weeks before his arrest. Irving’s partner in the grow operation testified Irving didn’t owe anyone money after the bust and drug brokers she was dealing with said she was doing the deal to raise money for legal fees. They didn’t have a motive to kill her, said Currie. The only person with a motive to kill Irving was “the one she was doing the big drug deal with.” Verma “had approximately 140,000 reasons to want Ms. Irving out of the way,” said Currie, referring to the value of the marijuana Irving had with her when she went missing. Currie said Verma also fabricat-
ed where he was the day Irving went missing, telling police he was with his cousin all day. “He knows that’s not true,” said Currie. “He shifts the blame because he knows he is to blame.” His cousin, Jason Labonte, testified at trial that Verma was with him for much of the day, and at one point saw Irving with Verma in his driveway. Verma eventually left, but contacted Labonte mid-afternoon after he was stuck in the mud. Labonte drove out to the McCulloch Forest Service Road area to assist Verma, who was driving another man’s truck. When Labonte later took police to the location, they found Irving’s body nearby. She had been shot four times, including twice in the back. Irving was dressed in a jacket and shoes left in the truck by the owner, Mike Roberts. Roberts testified that he was told by Verma not to tell anyone he lent out his truck that day and that he had to “take the fall” or Verma would kill him and his family. The defence is expected to wrap up closing arguments Thursday morning and the judge will then charge the jury before deliberations begin.

Two pilot veterans presented with Bomber Command Bars
CONTRIBUTED
MP Ron Cannan (seated, left) was on hand at a special ceremony at Orchard Manor Wednesday to present the Bomber Command Bar to local veterans A.R. Sanderson and John F. Corrigan (both seated next to Cannan).
Wednesday at Orchard Manor in Kelowna was a special day of recognition for A.R. Sanderson and John F. Corrigan. Both veterans of the Canadian Air Force, each were presented with Bomber Command Bars by local MP Ron Cannan on behalf of the federal government veteran affairs ministry. “It is a great privilege to present the Bomber Command Bar to Mr. Corrigan and to have the honour of acknowledging the courage and bravery of Mr. Corrigan and his fellow pilots in defending our country,” said Cannan. “John and Sandy, we can never thank you enough for what you have done and I am proud to stand here with you, your families and friends to share this special recognition with you.” Canada played a vital role in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, a wide-reaching plan that was jointly undertaken by Great Britain, Can-
ada, Australia and New Zealand, whose graduates formed the backbone of Bomber Command. Many of the Canadians who trained under this program served with Royal Canadian Air Force squadrons in the No. 6 Bomber Group—the only non-British group to serve in Bomber Command. By the end of the Second World War, No. 6 Bomber Group had carried out more than 40,000 sorties and approximately 8,000 members received decorations for bravery. The federal government created the Bomber Command Bar as an official honour to formally recognize these brave Canadians. Beyond the Bomber Command Bar, Ottawa also helped in creating the new Bomber Command Memorial in London, England. This memorial honours all members of the Bomber Command from Allied countries and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

tinued again later, when Hadfield delivered his story of life in space, electrifying 800 people packed into the Kelowna Community Theatre and sparking a standing ovation. Hadfield, who commanded the International Space Station (ISS) for five months earlier this year, became a global sensation for his videos, tweets and music from space. Audiences estimated in the millions worldwide followed Hadfield’s exploits as he displayed breathtaking photos of Earth and demonstrated vignettes of life in space, such as what happens when you wring out a washcloth in a weightless environment. Hadfield is a master story teller. From describing some of the 200-plus experiments performed aboard the ISS during his command, to tales about his personal life—ambitions to be an astronaut from age nine—Hadfield engaged his audience with a spell-binding narrative and video presentation. Asked about his music from space, where Hadfield co-wrote and recorded the song Is Somebody Singing with Ed Robert-

is an incomparable experience. The astronaut told a heart-felt story about his wife Helene and three children and the struggle to make ends meet early in his space career, starting in the 1980s when he joined the Canadian space program. Hadfield, an engineer and accomplished test pilot, decided he would abandon his pursuit of space for the relative comfort and lucrative pay as a commercial airline pilot. Helene told him to forgo any such notion. Not pursuing his life-
long dream, the regrets would make him miserable—and in turn make his family miserable, the astronaut’s wife said. So pursue the dream and we will find a way to get by, she advised him. Without his family’s support, Hadfield said he would never have accomplished everything he did. Hadfield’s appearance in the Okanagan in the Distinguished Speaker Series was sponsored by an endowment from the late Irving K. Barber, after whom UBC’s Okanagan campus School of Arts and Sciences is named.

▼ COURT OF APPEAL
Drug trafficking sentence reduced
Cheryl Wierda
CONTRIBUTOR
A drug trafficker who failed earlier this year in his bid to have his conviction overturned, has had his sentence reduced. The Court of Appeal, in a decision posted online on Tuesday, reduced Brent Nagy’s jail sentence to four years from the original five and a half year sentence imposed in 2011, saying the initial sentence “offended the totality principle.” Nagy’s drug convictions date back to August, 2006, when police investigating suspected drug trafficking at a Kelowna marina observed Nagy park a truck, remove an item from a knapsack and hand it to a man in a different vehicle. The vehicle was stopped by police and a one kilogram brick of cocaine was found inside. The trial judge determined that the item Nagy handed off was the co-
New head of OC’s continuing studies
An experienced continuing studies leader has been chosen as Okanagan College’s new director of continuing studies and corporate development. Dennis Silvestrone will be assuming the role beginning in March 2014. He brings with him extensive experience as director of continuing studies and corporate development, including positions at Vancouver Island University, North Island College and most recently, at the University of Manitoba. “Dr. Silvestrone’s experience in the administration and development of continuing studies programs in post-secondary will be of value to Okanagan College as we continue to answer employer and regional demand for short term training solutions and reskilling programming,” said Andrew Hay, Okanagan College’s vice-president, education. “I’m looking forward to starting,” said Silvestrone. “Okanagan College has a deserved national reputation as a successful, innovative institution.”
caine, and convicted him of trafficking, the Court of Appeal summarized in their decision. The second conviction, for possession for the purpose of trafficking, dates to events later that month, when Nagy, then 29, was followed from Kelowna to the Lower Mainland. When police stopped his vehicle, they found two kilograms of cocaine in the truck. Nagy was sentenced to two and a half years on the trafficking count and three years for possession for the purpose of trafficking, to be served consecutively. On appeal, Nagy argued that the trial judge failed to consider his rehabilitation—which appeal justices disagreed with—and that the judge failed to take into account the totality principle. Because of that, Nagy
argued, the total sentence is “unfit.” “While the individual sentences were appropriate, it is my view that the judge erred in failing to consider the full impact of making the sentences consecutive,” wrote Court of Appeal Justice Harvey Groberman in a decision agreed with by Justice Anne MacKenzie and Justice David Frankel. “The judge had a duty to consider the overall culpability of Mr. Nagy,”
he added. “In my view, given the short period over which the two crimes occurred, Mr. Nagy’s overall culpability, and his successful efforts to change his lifestyle, a global sentence of five and a half years is too harsh and is unfit,” wrote Groberman, Groberman reduced the sentence for trafficking to one year. That reduced the total length of the sentence for both offences to four years.

ent “standard of proof.” An innocent victim is not required to prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt. Instead, if you imagine the iconic scales of justice, the innocent victim must tip the scales ever so slightly in his or her favour. I am not a historian, but perhaps the difference has to do with the notion that the risk of undercompensating an innocent victim is equally as unjust as the risk of providing more than fair compensation. In the context of going up against a powerful insurance company to force fair compensation out of them in court, I would venture to say that the risk of less than fair compensation is in fact the more significant one. In a civil claim, the court must typically consider what is “more likely than not.” The common defence tactic is to do whatever they can to cloud the issues and raise doubt which is enough to avoid a criminal conviction but is not enough to avoid fairly compensating a civil claimant. There is one aspect of a civil claim that requires even less than a “more likely than not” level of proof, and there’s good reason for it. This aspect has to do with gazing into the crystal ball to try to predict future events. A trial often occurs four to five years after the crash that caused your injuries. It is far easier for the court to look back over those four to five years and assess the dollars and cents you have “more likely than not” lost than it is to gaze into the crystal ball to figure out what you might lose in the future. You may have been able to soldier on and work through your pain with very little, if any, income lost up until the date of the trial; but are you going to be able to continue doing so for the rest of your working life? Is it fair to say that “the past is an indicator of the future” in the context of working through a chronic pain condition? How could you possibly “prove” future losses? When considering a future loss, the court applies a different test. The test for future
losses is whether or not there is a “real and substantial possibility” that the loss will occur. This test was applied last year by the highest court in British Columbia in a case called Morlan v. Barrett. The British Columbia Court of Appeal was dealing with the defence appeal of a trial decision. Ms. Morlan, age 50 at the time of the trial, had been suffering chronic pain during the approximately four years between the crash and the trial, but had been able to work through her pain and adjust her employment situation to avoid losing any income at all during that period of time. In awarding a substantial amount of compensation for future income loss, the trial judge relied in part on what he described as a “common experience” that a person with a stable but persistent energy-draining condition will find it more difficult to continue working as he or she grows older. The defence, on appeal, argued that there was no evidence to support this notion. The Court of Appeal disagreed with the defence, noting “…throughout each and every day of her life, Ms. Morlan would have to cope with some level of discomfort. In my view, it was open for the trial judge to find—essentially as a matter of common sense—that constant and continuous pain takes its toll and that, over time, such pain will have a detrimental effect on a person’s ability to work, regardless of what accommodations an employer is prepared to make.” How’s that for a victory of justice? Hard working, honest people who a e to soldier on through their pain in the short term really can be fairly compensated for their potential future losses because “prove it,” when considering those potential losses, is a standard that can be met essentially as a matter of common sense.

Teen bullying on society’s radar
I
s the world a safer place for kids since Port Coquitlam teenager Amanda Todd killed herself on Oct. 10, 2012, after posting that heart-wrenching video seen around the world? No, but we have learned a few things since. We’ve learned, for example, that the Internet can be a rough, cruel world for kids unless they are taught how to protect themselves and their privacy—and we know that the Internet is a powerful tool for ruining someone’s reputation.
We’ve seen that vulnerable girls and boys are easily exploited online by voyeurs who lure them with false names and post their pictures and videos, sometimes with devastating consequences. We learned, as well, that rape culture is so deeply ingrained in our society that Canadian university students didn’t see anything wrong with frosh week chants about sex with underage girls until authorities found out and put a stop to it. We’ve learned that it’s easy to
troll the Internet for photos and then post them, without consent. Simply put, laws are inadequate for dealing with meanness and stupidity on the web. But there has been some action, too. B.C.’s ERASE Bullying website, available during the school year, provides resources for families with bullying concerns, and administrators and school counsellors are being trained to identify and support at-risk youth. The Kids Help Phone got more publicity about its services
for kids. Even workplace bullying has received a higher profile in the year since Todd’s death, with a new Workplace BC website addressing the issue. And the BC Coroner’s Service studied youth suicide this fall and recommended more collaboration and resources. Will all this talk prevent another Amanda Todd situation from occurring? Maybe not, but we can no longer have ignorance as an excuse. — Tri-City News

ALS symptoms not keeping runner from marathon finish line
T
his Sunday’s running of the BMO Okanagan Marathon will truly be a family affair for the Wakelin brothers. Neil Wakelin will be joined by other relatives and friends to help his 68-year-old brother Trevor complete the 42.2 km marathon. Trevor needs the help because he is confined to a wheelchair, weakened by the symptoms associated with ALS, which he was first diagnosed with in 2010.
Both brothers, who immigrated to Canada from New Zealand, have been ardent marathon runners throughout their adult lives. This will be TrevBarry or’s 70th marathon, Gerding while Neil has competed in 140. Neil says they both embraced marathon running as a passion in their youth and carried it on as adults. “Trevor’s dream was to run 100 marathons but I guess that won’t happen now,” said Neil, two years younger than his brother.
EDITOR’S NOTE
Trevor chose to run his 70th marathon in Kelowna this weekend so his friends and family across B.C. and Alberta could help make it possible. “We’ll each take turns pushing him for a couple of kilometres around the course,” Neil said. For Trevor, while ALS has robbed him of his physical ability to run, it hasn’t curbed his zest for his sibling rivalry with his brother. “One of my goals has always been to finish ahead of (Neil) and since he is going to be the one to push my wheelchair across the finish line, I will finally be able to say I beat him at least once,” he said. Neil admits, like for most diag-
nosed with ALS, a disease that ravages a person’s physical extremities but not their brain, his brother’s life has been turned upside down by the disease. “He actually had a place in Kelowna and was planning to retire there but that’s all gone now.” Trevor will make the trip from Edmonton to the Okanagan with his son, traveling in a van equipped to handle a wheelchair. Trevor’s last marathon run was at the World Master’s Games in 2009. He took time off at that point from running because back pain had cropped up. The following year, as the pain continued to worsen, he was diagnosed with ALS.
He has adopted a pragmatic attitude to the challenges ALS presents to him. “I would love to still be running but that’s my situation. I always figured I’d have to do another one before the game is over. And as time goes by I get substantially weaker, so better sooner than later.” Neil said the 20 family and friends gathering this weekend to help his brother achieve his dream of one more marathon will be a special shared experience. “It will mean a lot to him and I think it will mean a lot for the rest of us as well,” said Neil. It’s probably one race Neil, a competitive runner, won’t mind losing. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

▼ HUMAN DIGNITY
Homeless deserve respect same as all of us To the editor: My daughter is a paramedic. In their ambulance, she and her boss stopped in a gas station by Summerland to buy coffee and muffins. Meanwhile, a scuffy, homeless older man entered the shop to get a coffee. The employee (a girl in her 20s) prompted him to if hewas going to pay for his coffee before he had reached the coffee machine. The homeless man kindly answered yes. Then the employee asked him to pay first before pouring a coffee. The man complied and did pay prior to getting his coffee. Before leaving the premises, as my daughter witnessed the whole situation, she asked
the employee to sell her two hot dogs. When the employee asked her whether whole wheat or white buns she would prefer, my daughter answered that she needed to ask the homeless man. The employee shouted at the homeless man: “Sir, excuse me, would you like your hot dogs whole wheat or white buns?” My daughter’s boss was annoyed by the whole issue and asked the employee to call her manager and he explained the whole issue of disrespect and mistreatment. The manager was so embarrassed and asked his employee not to embarrass him again in front of paramedics.
Then he apologized to the homeless man and offered him free pizza slices. I hope that every person takes that as an example and thinks twice before mistreating others based on their status whether they are poor or rich. We are all humans and wealth should not be a reason for discrimination. These people have their circumstances to end up homeless. If it is up to them, they would rather live in a home and raise a family. It is good ethics to treat the helpless with mercy. Dhirgham Murran, West Kelowna
▼ TRAFFIC SAFETY
Driving requires attention at every moment
To the editor: I’m reading about the head-on collision just south of the Predator Ridge turn off. (Head-on Closes Hwy 97 Monday (Oct. 8 Capital News) It’s now the third or fourth time that this has
happened in two years. First, let me tell you that too many drivers do drive on the left (fast over-taking lane) for no reason at all. Think about it. You are only inches away from the oncoming lane so any dis-
traction can cause you or the other driver to quickly drift over into the oncoming lane. Move over to your right lane and only use the left lane for a quick and efficient pass. Second, I have noticed
from many trips coming home from Silver Star that the left lane going south has a dip or slight leaning of asphalt to the left oncoming lane, just as one crests the summit of that little hill. This causes the south travelling car to,
ever so slightly, move into the north travelling lane without steering, especially if a driver is not aware of it.

▼ SPORTSMANSHIP
Okanagan Sun a classy team–fans not so much
To the editor: As we have occasionally done in the past, several of us made the trip to the Apple Bowl in Kelowna to watch our sons’ team, the Kamloops Broncos, play the Okanagan Sun yesterday. Although it wasn’t a great game from a Kamloops perspective, it was still a beautiful day in a great venue. Congratulations to the Sun for their great season and for making the playoffs again this year. They are a class organization which shows in the successful teams they field year in and year out. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for a small minority of the Sun’s fans. As is usually the case,
the vast majority are there to cheer on their boys and enjoy the game. Occasional boos and negative comments directed toward the opposition, and sometimes the officials, are all part of that. (The “No score” echo some of the fans had going was actually quite clever and in good humour). But then there is the exception. The one fan, in this case an older female, who takes it too far and drags the rest of the Sun supporters down. Her taunts when receivers dropped passes, quarterbacks made bad passes, or players missed tackles were palatable. What was totally classless was when she started taunting an injured Bronco player.
I don’t believe in my 45+ years of playing, coaching and watching sports that I have ever witnessed such boorish behaviour especially at an amateur level. I might expect it from a 19-year-old semi-intoxicated male at a professional football or hockey game but not at this level of competition from an older female. What I would say to this individual is, how would you react if it was your son or daughter lying there injured and a fan started on them in a similar fashion? Yeah I thought so. A little different when you look at it that way. Again I don’t want to take anything away from the Sun players who
Bad drivers push ICBC up To the editor: It was with great interest when I read the letter to the editor from Michael Kittmer on the cost of insurance for driving in B.C. (Good Drivers are Lumped in With Bad, Sept. 12 Capital News) I do not blame ICBC for this, I blame the drivers. After all where else can one speed, run stop signs, follow too close, ignore school zones, use a phone, get drunk and
make a complete ass of oneself for so little? I see the result of these things each day and wonder if I am missing the boat as I am paying the same amount for the right to “use” our roads and I use the word “use” very loosely. I find that drivers in the USA do not do the same as the ‘cowboys’ do here as they would not get away with it. I also know that drivers in other prov-
inces get a rebate when they have a year’s accident-free driving. Now I see why we pay so much for insurance here. As they are now asking to raise the speed limit on the roads, I surely do know that we don’t have to ask the question: Are we there yet? Ron Barnard, West Kelowna

▼ COQUIHALLA SPEED LIMIT
Even 110 km/h ‘too darn fast’ To the editor: Re: Tuesday, Oct. 8 Sound Off question: Do you think the Coquihalla Highway speed limit should be raised from 110 to 120 km/h? [See results today on page A10.] Even 110 km/h is just too darn fast. I would far prefer to reduce the speed
limit than increase it. As I see it, the trouble with today’s speed limit is that if one does drive at the speed limit, other drivers pass at more than the legal speed limit and increase, the dangers. Michael Cotton, Westbank

Sun-Rype helpful in addressing crop damage Apples from A1 of the other main season varieties, he noted. East Kelowna orchardist Surinder Shergill says the Ambrosias currently being picked from 15 acres on East Kelowna Road are high quality this year, but he also has acreage on Gully Road where the crop was devastated by hail and had to be sold
for juice instead of to the fresh market. Currently, the Ambrosias are being picked in the Central Okanagan, along with Spartans, and Red Delicious will be next, said Markgraf. Most of the McIntosh and Galas have already been harvested, he said. He estimated the coop has lost 10 per cent of its volume in the Central
Okanagan this year, largely due to damage from hailstorms. Some of that is being sorted out at the packinghouse and diverted across the street to SunRype Products. He estimated growers will get enough from Sun-Rype for juice to pay for picking the fruit. It’s important growers remove all fruit from the

trees because otherwise it’s a drain on the tree’s resources for the tree to continue to ripen its fruit. Most orchardists are good about taking good care of their trees for next year’s crop. Even much of the badly hail-damaged fruit was accepted by the juice company, as long as it was dented but the skin wasn’t broken, he said,
which has been a help to growers. “We’ve worked it out with Sun-Rype. They’ve been good; really helpful,” he commented. Without the damage from hail and frost, this would have been a fairly normal crop year, he figures. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
Electronics firm continues to expand Business from A1 repair business. Blanleil said over the years he has seen the electronics industry radically change, to point where young people today would not recognize what was being done back then. “Back then, we were selling and fixing televisions,” he said. And, as he points out, televisions were nothing like they are today. There were no cell phones and home stereos were radios and record players. “It’s like I always tell my staff, we are in the coolest industry,” he added, noting Andre’s sell the products that not only attract the technology headlines but are also the “must-have” products of today. Since 1986, Blanleil’s business model has been to locate his stores in properties—often small strip malls—that he not only owns but ones he builds. “I’d rather have a mortgage than pay rent,” he said, speaking from Williams Lake Wednesday, where he said he was shovelling dirt on the construction site of location number 18. He said in nearly 20 years on council he has seen how successful family businesses here have operated, that the way to go is by owning the property where your business is located. With the exception of a few stores located in larger malls, his Andre’s locations are in strip malls which he owns and has developed. Blanleil has built 13 buildings to date and the company employs a total of 120 people. Andre’s is one of the top five electronic retail chains in Canada, and Blanleil said he plans to continue expanding. Blanleil is also a founding partner and is on the board of directors of the largest electronics buying group in Canada, partnered with five other business owners. In total they represent 400 retail locations. And it’s not just electronics anymore. In recent years, Blanleil has diversified his business model, which now includes a car wash and liquor store, as well as leased properties for other retailers in the strip malls he builds. Born and raised in Kelowna, Blanleil has three sons who also call Kelowna home. Two of them are involved in managing the company and the third is working part-time in the business, waiting for his hockey scholarship in Vernon to kick in next season. The Blanleil family is also well-known in the Kelowna sports community for its years in men’s fastball, where three generations have played, starting with Blanleil’s late father, Andre, Sr. Blanleil’s brother Rene is a former Kelowna fire chief. Blanleil will receive his award at this year’s Business Excellence Awards Gala at the Delta Grand Hotel Oct. 23. The awards mark the chamber’s 26th annual Business Excellence Awards, which are announced during Small Business Week. Early bird tickets for the gala, priced at $90 plus GST each, are available until to 4 p.m. on Oct. 16. After that, the price will rise to $120 plus GST. All tickets must be purchased by noon Oct. 21. Online purchase is available via the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce website.

Room to Read changes lives around world Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It was the finalé at the Vancouver Film Festival and now a screening of Girl Rising is poised to become the opening fundraising initiative Oct. 19 for a new education-focused charity: Room to Read Okanagan. “If we sell out the [Community] theatre, we would have enough money to provide eight girls with the tuition they need to pay for 10 years of education; so we can change eight lives. Or that money could build a small school in Africa or Asia,” said Pat Nelson, the woman who brought Room to Read, an education-focused non-profit organization with a four-star rating on Charity Navigator and the UNESCO Confucius Prize for Literacy, to Kelowna. Girl Rising is a film about gender inequality in developing nations and how education can be used to change a life’s path. Described as an in-

ROOM TO READ Okanagan is hosting a screening of Academy Award nominee Richard Robbins’ inspirational film Girl Rising as their inaugural fundraiser. spirational tale, it has already spurred an uplifting amount of dedication locally. This screening will be sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada. An RBC employee saw the film at the Vancouver Film Festival and decided the bank should back another screening for its clients in Vancouver, and RBC has since made the offer to
back Room to Read Okanagan’s inaugural event. “This basically just fell in our lap,” said Nelson. Featuring nine extraordinary young women from nine developing nations, Girl Rising cracks a vault few North Americas ever see inside by using nine prominent actresses to narrate a tale written by nine prominent writers
demonstrating how critical it is to fight for girls’ right to education internationally. “There are 750 million people in the world who are illiterate and we say two-thirds of those are girls,” said Nelson. Founded by the first chief executive officer and president of Yahoo!, Tim Koogle, and Microsoft executive John Wood,
who wrote Leaving Microsoft to Change the World to describe their experience, Room to Read focuses on gender equality and literacy and has posted impressive results. Aside from commissioning and publishing 167 culturally appropriate children’s books, the charity had created 1,925 school libraries as of 2012, had 17,740 girls participating in education programs and had benefited 7.8 million children. “The United Nations has demonstrated that if a girl gets an education, her income is going to be higher. More importantly, if she gets an education, she gets married later, she has her family later, the children are more likely to survive childbirth and early childhood. It’s a tsunami,” said Nelson. Locally, it caught the eye of Crystal Flaman, an endurance runner who uses her athletic abilities to raise money to affect social change. She is Room to Read A15

needed for Gravity. Buzz Aldren (the second man to step foot on the moon) calls Gravity “remarkable,” and the manner in which it was filmed is remarkable. But for me, personally, having only two actors in
a film gets a bit boring. Having said that, there are edge-of-your-seat moments and the visual effects are awesome. I think it’s worth seeing and, apparently, so do a lot of other people as the North American
debut brought in more than $48 million. So Alfonso Cuaron’s $80-million space survivalist tale looks like it will be a huge hit. A couple of good lines: Kawalski: “I know I’m devastatingly good
Susan Steen Gravity is certainly a space epic, starring Sandra Bullock (Ryan Stone) and George Clooney (Matt Kowalski). Stone is a medical engineer on her first mission and Kowalski is a veteran astronaut. So, when all Hell breaks loose on what should have been a routine spacewalk, lives are lost and the space station is destroyed. And therein lies the gravity of the situation. (Well, I’m sorry, but I just had to put that in!) Bullock spent three months in training to prepare for this role—a role for which 13 other actresses tested before Bullock was selected. Gravity had been under development for four years awaiting the technology needed to shoot this space thriller. It was James Cameron’s Avatar which produced the technology that was

David Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter turned- songwriter, who has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers”. Born in Scotland to parents who were factory workers, he moved to Canada when he was 12. For decades, he worked across Canada in rail yards, construction sites, and in the Yukon bush, all the while writing poetry, setting it to melodies in his head and singing it to himself as he worked. When he was in his 40s, his wife, artist Beth irdler, encouraged him to share his songs and sing in public. The reaction was instant. His first album Torn Screen Door came out in 1999 and was a hit in Canada. Since then, he has released nine albums and won three Juno Awards. With songs about hope and perseverance, the album sounds like a classic folk record that will appeal to folk fans of all ages.

Harry Manx: an “essential link” between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. Manx is a prolific artist, releasing five albums in a four-year span with no signs of stopping. His first album Dog My Cat (2001, NorthernBlues Music), and won Best Blues Album of the Year from the Canadian Independent Music Association. Blending Indian folk melodies with blues, a sprinkle of gospel and compelling grooves, Manx’s “mysticssippi” flavor is hard to resist, easy to digest and what keeps audiences coming back for more.

Keast to ride in Vegas Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
When it comes to riding a Yamaha 112 motor bike with skill, speed and precision, few North American teenagers do it much better than Casey Keast. The 14-year-old from Kelowna will have a chance to display those talents later this month at the Monster Energy Cup in Las Vegas, considered by many as the Olympics of motocross racing. On Saturday, Oct. 19 at Sam Boyd Stadium, Keast will compete in two supercross races in the super mini category. “They only invite the best of the best, so it’s a pretty big deal for Casey,” said Casey’s dad, Dean Keast. Expected to draw some 35,000 spectators, the event features many
of the top pro racers in the world and will be broadcast live on the cable network, Speed. There are no points or titles awarded for the races in the super mini division but Casey, not surprisingly, wants to perform well in his races. “I’m pretty excited and a little nervous, too, because I want to do well,” said Keast, a Grade 9 student at Springvalley Middle School. “I’ve been in some pretty big races, but nothing quite like this with so many people watching. I think there’ll be pressure, but hopefully I can just go out and ride like I normally do, and have fun doing it.” Since first taking up motocross riding four years ago, Keast has been steadily and surely gaining recognition on the national and international
circuits. Earlier this year in Walton, Ont., Keast captured the Grand National Motocross Championship in the super mini 1416 division. At the 2013 world mini championships in Mesquite, Nevada Keast more than held his own against the top riders, placing fourth and seventh in two races. Casey’s dad says his son has proven to be a very quick learner. “Most of these kids he’s racing against have been doing it a lot longer than Casey,” said Dean Keast. “He’s risen up so fast, it’s kind of blown us away. If he does well down in Vegas, it could put him on the radar for one day competing as a pro. He’s stoked and excited about it.” Keast and his family will leave this week for

Falcons name Clontz new head coach, 10th in 14 seasons With both West Coast League playing and coaching experience under his belt, the Kelowna Falcons decided Billy Clontz was the right man for the job. Clontz, a 27-year-old native of Corvallis, Ore., was introduced this week as the 10th head coach in the history of the Falcons’ franchise. He played three seasons for the Corvallis Knights (2006, 2008-09) and has been an assistant coach for three seasons (2010-2011, 2013). In
Billy Clontz his six summers with the Knights, Clontz has been part of four championship series—winning the title as a player in 2008, and as
part of the coaching staff in 2011 and 2013. “He’s a proven winner,” said Falcons’ GM Mark Nonis. “We’re excited to have Billy join our club, after seeing him work with the Knights organization for many summers, he is a perfect fit to build our team and get us back to the post season.” Clontz succeeds Kelowna native Geoff White, who has moved into the assistant general manager’s role, after leading the Falcons to a 19-35 record in 2013.
Clontz is grateful for the opportunity and feels his experience with Corvallis will be a benefit as he joins the Falcons. “I am really excited for the opportunity Dan and Mark Nonis have given me,” Clontz said. “I am looking forward to putting a competitive team on the field next summer. “I appreciate the time I spent playing and working in the Knights’ organization, and feel like I learned from the best,” he said. Brooke Knight has
been the head coach of the Knights since Clontz was recruited in 2006. “We are all very excited for Bill’s next endeavor,” Knight said. “He has a tireless work ethic and a sound knowledge of the game. He will grind the Falcons towards a playoff appearance, I have no doubt.” Clontz starred at Corvallis High School and for the Richey’s Market American Legion program before playing at Mt. Hood Community College and Western Ore-
gon. He was a starter at several infield and outfield positions for the Knights in 2006, 2008 and 2009. He earned all-WCL honours for Knights’ teams that defeated Wenatchee in the 2008 WCL championship series, and that lost to the AppleSox in the 2009 finals. Following his college career, Clontz joined a Knights’ coaching staff that directed the club to the 2010 West Division regular-season title, and to the 2011 WCL championship.
Clontz recently accepted an assistant coaching position at Ohlone College in Fremont, California. His first order of business as the Falcons skipper will be to assemble the 2014 club. A great deal of recruiting for summer baseball happens during the month of October and November. The Falcons will open their 14th summer in Kelowna in early June. The WCL schedule will be released in February.

Dual award wins for Rockets’ forward Merkley It didn’t take long for Nick Merkley to make a significant impact with the Kelowna Rockets. Just six games into his major junior career, the rookie forward has been named the player of the week in both the Western
Hockey League and Canadian Hockey League. The 16-year-old Calgary native scored four goals and added two assists to help pace the Rockets to victories in all three games during the week.
“He’s a pretty special player,” Rockets’ head coach Ryan Huska said of Merkley. Last Wednesday night, Merkley registered his first multi-goal game of his career with a pair of third period markers
and was named second star of the Rockets’ 6-3 road win over the Everett Silvertips. On the weekend at Prospera Place, the Rockets won back-toback games over the Portland Winterhawks with Merkley scoring another
ley insists he’s just keeping it simple. “Just working hard and just keeping the mentality of just playing the game and don’t focus on getting points,” he said. “Just do my role, create plays on the ice and that’s pretty much it.”
FIRST LOSS FOR ROCKETS
The hometown Spokane Chiefs downed the Rockets 6-3 Tuesday night, handing Kelowna its first regulation loss of the WHL season. Mitch Holmberg tallied twice for the Chiefs who opened up a 3-0 lead just 13:28 into the game. Tyson Baillie, Myles Bell and Ryan Olsen scored for the Rockets, now 5-10-1 on the season.

HEAT ATHLETICS
running is quickly becoming a strength of the Heat women’s cross country team.
Heat women top ranked UBC Okanagan Heat women’s cross country team came out on top at Alberta Colleges Athletic Association (ACAC) Grand Prix #3 on Saturday in Edmonton. The Heat team proved its No. 1 ranking early in the week was no fluke, showing their depth in the 5 km race hosted by Concordia University College of Alberta. With a score of 41 points, the UBC Okanagan women bested all Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) teams at the meet, SAIT from Calgary trailed the Heat with 44 points, third went to Lethbridge College at 58.
Continuing her role as front-runner, Sandra Kilmartin was the sixth collegiate runner in 20:16. Not far behind were Michelle Blackburne in nitth (20:33), Alea Stockton in 11th (21:02) and Anna Merino in 15th (21:31). Displacers were Julianna Neudorf in 17th (21:39) and Trisha Metro in 19th (21:43). The course, although very hilly compared to the terrain the Heat had grown accustomed too, did not seem to alter the team’s strategy as they ran a very tight race; with the six Heat runners travelling the first kilometre with only a five-second spread
from the first to sixth Heat runner. “Our depth is what makes us so strong,” explains coach Nikki Reiter. Out of 81 collegiate runners, all six Heat runners came in within a spread of 13 places. “With the objective of cross country team running being to produce the lowest combined score of the top four runners, many programs depend on having one extremely fast girl to lower their overall score,” continues Reiter. “We are fortunate that we have the flexibility to have a different makeup of scorers each race.”
A 2013 season which saw the Okanagan Sun post an 8-2 record and finish second in the BCFC, also featured its share of outstanding individual performances. The club honoured its top achievers at its annual awards banquet Monday at the Coast Capri Hotel. A pair of graduating players shared the team’s MVP honours—receiver Tommy Howes and safety Jack Rush. Howes, native of Winnipeg caught a single season team-record 58 passes in 2013, while the hard-hitting Rush, a product of Niagara Falls, Ont., grabbed four interceptions and made 33 tackles. Here’s a look at all the winners: • Most valuable player—Tommy Howes (receiver) and Jack Rush (safety) • Rookie of the Year – JT Fernandez (linebacker) and Theo Deezar (quarterback) • Top Offensive Back – Alex Bradley (running back, second consecutive year) • Top Receiver – Tommy Howes (receiver) (second consecutive year) • Top Defensive Lineman – Jonas Gering and Zak Ironstand

• Top Defensive Back – Brennan Van Nistelrooy • Top Linebacker – Brandon Donkers (second consecutive year) • Most Popular Player (voted by the players) – Jack Rush (safety) • Most Sportsmanlike Player – Chris Godin (defensive lineman) • Most Inspirational Player – Geoff Ansell (offensive lineman)

Heat men’s soccer team bounce back against Wolfpack
The UBC Okanagan Heat fought back to earn a split with the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack in PACWEST men’s soccer action last weekend. After losing the first of a home-and-home set 4-2 to TRU on Saturday in Kamloops, UBCO rebounded with a 3-2 victory Sunday at Nonis Field.
Lucas Krivak connected on a breakaway at 83 minutes to push the Heat to victory Sunday. Jordan Lieb and Donald Straith also scored for the Heat, now 5-3-2 on the season and still in solid contention for the fourth and final playoff spot in PACWEST. After a disappointing loss in Kamloops,
coach Dante Zanatta was pleased with how his team responded against the No. 2 ranked team in the CCAA. “For them to have a bit of a disappointment yesterday, and come back today and gut it out,” said Zanatta,”as much as I always like to see pretty football—they still tried to play and do those things—we said ear-
ly in the game that today was about doing the little things and being committed to it.” The Heat are at home this weekend, hosting Kwantlen on Saturday and Douglas Sunday.
HEAT WOMEN
The UBCO women managed a single point against Thompson Rivers
as last year’s PACWEST finalists got reacquainted in a two-game set. On Saturday in Kamloops, the defending champion Wolfpack scored four second-half markers en route to a 5-2 win. Michelle Smith and Haylee Lakovic each scored their fourth goals of the season in the loss. On Sunday in Ke-
lowna, the Heat (5-3-2) bounced back to earn a 1-1 draw with TRU (8-02). Down 1-0 in the 89th minute, Kirsten Dodds knocked home the rebound of a Jennifer Kidd penalty kick to salvage the point. The Heat then nearly stole the game with 30 seconds left, but Hayley Carlson’s shot rang off the
crossbar and stayed out. “We created lots ofS chances,” said Heat coachh Claire Paterson. “Wes finally got lucky with thet rebound off the penaltyb shot, so something finallyp went our way.” i The Heat are at homeC this weekend, hostinga Kwantlen on Saturdayw and Douglas Sunday atf Nonis Field. T t

The Kelowna Owls are the first Central Okanagan team to hit the win column in B.C. high school football this season, but it didn’t come without a scare from their crosstown rivals. A late touchdown by Nathan Eyre earned the Owls a hard-fought 20-13 win over the Rutland Voodoos in front of close to 1,000 fans Friday night at the Apple Bowl. Eyre scampered 45 yards for the score with just 1:26 to play to snap a 13-13 tie. KSS jumped on top early on touchdowns runs by Seth Canmpbell and Sean Gordon to take a 13-0 lead at the half. But Rutland rallied back in the second half as Mitch Walz threw a pair of touchdown passes, one each to Justice Dovich and Keith Errington, to tie the game up. For Rutland, Quentin McDowell rushed for 117 yards for the Voodoos, while Matt Walz had nine tackles on defense.

OMSC swimmers world-class
Okanagan Masters Swim Club (OMSC) has once again demonstrated the talent and determination of its members with some superb performances, including mother-and-son team, Conny Stamhuis (81) and Mike Stamhuis (60) who brought medals back for several events at the Torino 2013 World Masters Games. Conny, a founding member of OMSC and competing in age group 80-84, won gold in the 100m and 200m backstroke, 50m breaststroke (setting a BC record at the same time) and 50m freestyle. She also took silver in the 50m backstroke and gold with her relay team in the women’s 4x50m freestyle. Mike, competing in age group 60-64, medaled for each of his four events, including gold in the 100m freestyle, 200m freestyle and 200 backstroke, as well as bronze in the 400 freestyle, setting new BC records for each event. Mike’s achievement was even more remarkable considering he had just crossed the English Channel as member of a five-person OMSC relay team,

mother-and-son team, Michael and Conny Stamhuis. the OMSC Lake Monsters, shortly before World Masters Games. Other OMSC members on the Channel relay team were Denise Cesselli, Leora Dahl, Phred Martin and Tracey Sutton. Talented triathlete and swimmer Carmelle GuidiSwan (41) broke the Canadian 100m butterfly short course record for age group 40-44 in 2012 and still holds her age group ranking as the fastest in Canada for 2013. Speed isn’t the only way to achieve recognition how-
ever. Paul Duffield (42) accomplished the coveted ‘Ice Man’ status, becoming one of only 34 people in the world at that time to have completed a one mile (1.6 kilometre) continuous swim through waters colder than 5 degrees Celsius. Duffield’s superb achievement qualified him as Canada’s first certified ice swimmer in accordance with the International Ice Swimming Association (IISA) rules. Duffield was appointed by the IISA as one of only ten Ice Swimming Am-
Outdoor films to inspire adventurers venturous riders daring to take it on. It’s one of the toughest mountain bike stage races on the world calendar. “When I discovered there was a 10-day race across the Annapurna region and I would have to hike my bike in the snow over 17,769 feet, I was very intrigued,” Looney said. “When I found out no woman had done it, I had to go. In 2012, I was the first woman to win and complete the 10-day race. I went back this year to do it again. “The breathtaking views of the Himalaya, the challenge of remote areas, the spirited Nepalese, and the experiences in the teahouses along the journey made this a race that changed my life.” Looney lives in Boulder, Colo., but spends some of her time in Kelowna to be with her boy-
bassadors in the world to promote ice swimming and to offer assistance to any other aspiring ice swimmers. OMSC president Brent Hobbs added: “We are incredibly proud of the individual and team based achievements of our swimmers. That said, we should always remember that Masters swimming is open to adults of all skills levels, including recreational, fitness swimmers and champions alike. Our mission is to promote fun, fitness, health, fellowship and participation among swimmers aged 18 and older.” OMSC will also be hosting the 2014 BC Masters Provincial Swimming Championships in April, and expects to attract up to 300 swimmers and their families to the Okanagan.

SJODIN, ALVILDE SOPHIE October 9, 1910 – October 3, 2013 After nearly 103 years, ‘Alda’ was ushered into the presence of her Lord, whom she faithfully served to the end. She was born in Minnesota, raised in Saskatchewan, farmed with her husband Gus in Alberta and spent retirement years in BC. She was an avid quilter, sewer and gardener. She composed 71 poems while living at Brookhaven Care Center. A special thanks to all the staff at Brookhaven for the 9 years of love and care they showered on her. She will be remembered by her 2 daughters, Eunice (Wayne) Stoneman, Esther (Rowland) Schmidt, foster daughter Janice Buckberry, 7 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

THOMSON, BYRENA MARY January 19, 1919 – October 2, 2013 Byrena’s life has been an exceptional one – of faith, creativity, and life-long learning. She has left us an incomparable spiritual heritage, and has always been an example of integrity, generosity, gratitude, cheerfulness and encouragement to others. Pre-deceased by her husband Jim, in 2011, Byrena personified the Proverbs 31 woman, who, to her family and many friends, was indeed “more precious than rubies”. She will be greatly missed by so many, especially her son, Don, daughter Peggy Mayers, her grandchildren Meghan and James, and her very dear friend Hazel Keeping. There will be no funeral, at Byrena’s request. “Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all”. “A woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised”. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

New Rutland bookstore will take used books STRAIGHT FROM DEHART
Maxine DeHart Today’s column is dedicated to two wellknown local residents and dear friends who passed away last week. Cowboy Russell (Russ) Ensign was a special person who had a huge passion for life and enjoyed every minute of it with family and friends. His big smile and warm approach will be missed by all. Linda Born (nee Willms) and the Willms family have been longtime friends of the DeHarts for many years, the two families growing up together in what was known back then as the original Kelowna Mission neighbourhood. I was very lucky to be on the receiving end of Linda’s wonderful baking. Personal condolences to both Russ and Linda’s entire family and many, many friends.

Discover the ways to fireproof a home
A house fire can engulf and destroy a home in a matter of minutes. Even with the fast-acting response of firefighters, a home that has caught fire may be irreparably damaged by flames, soot and water. Fire is no laughing matter, and it behooves homeowners to take precautions to fireproof their homes as much as possible. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that although death and injuries caused by residential fires have declined gradually during the past several decades, fire-related deaths continue to pose a significant health hazard. In 2010, it is estimated that someone died in a fire every 169 minutes in the United States alone. A person was injured by fire every 30 minutes, according to the National Fire Protection Association, Fire Analysis and Research Division. The Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs estimates an average of 375 people die every year from fires in Canada, mostly from smoke inhalation. Most fires are largely preventable. The following are a few fireproofing measures for safety-conscious homeowners. •Install smoke detectors and check the batteries regularly. Smoke inhalation causes many fire-related deaths. A smoke detector should be installed outside of every bedroom and on every level of the house. Don't install a smoke detector near a window, door or forced-air register, where drafts could interfere with the detector's operation. Be sure to routinely check that every smoke detector is working properly. •Have a fire extinguisher in an easily accessible location. Ideally, there should be a fire extinguisher in every room of the home, but at the least keep one wherever fire is used regularly, such as a kitchen or by a fireplace. Ensure the fire extinguisher is charged and that you understand how to operate it. •Remove combustible materials from around the house. Do not allow old clothing, rags, newspapers, or cardboard boxes to accumulate around the house. Discard newspapers and magazines as quickly as possible and be careful to avoid storing anything too close to heaters, furnaces or electrical equipment. •Adhere to the recommended wattage in lamps and lighting fixtures. Do not No smoke alarm? exceed the recommended bulb wattage for lights around the house. There may be overheating or shorting that can lead to fire. No chance! •Look for fireproof interior decor items. Nowadays, carpeting and furniture can be coated with fireproof chemicals. The added investment may be worth it in the long run. •Do not leave candles unattended. Many people like the look and aroma that candles provide. Candles also provide emergency illumination in the event of a power outage. Candles can be easily knocked over and start a fire. In fact, candles are one of the top causes of house fires. Never leave a candle unattended, even for a short amount of time. And certainly never go to We service what we sell! sleep without extinFire extinguisher guishing a candle. maintenance •Keep the chimney OCTOBER SUPER clean.

Kalala Organic Estate Winery is aiming to grow its distribution to India, and a recent trip to one of that country’s largest food and beverage trade shows has likely helped the cause. Karnail Singh Sidhu, proprietor, managing director and viticulturist at Kalala Organic Estate Winery, returned from his trip to Mumbai earlier this month, where he attended the Annapoorna - World of Food India trade show, which ran from Sept. 23 to 25. Kalala began shipping its products to Bangalore in January, but Sidhu is hopeful to have wines and ice wines sent to Mumbai and Delhi as well. “It’s a growing market,” said Sidhu. “Thirty-nine per cent of the wine market of India (is) in Mumbai.” Sidhu added India has one of the youngest populations in the world, and
wine has become the drink of choice over beer and hard liquor in recent years. Kalala wines haven’t exactly been flying off the shelf in Bangalore, but Sidhu believes the product will continually increase sales as brand recognition increases. “It’s a slow (process), but it’s selling; it’s a new brand and a new market.” The West Kelowna winery was one of 12 B.C. food and beverage producers to make the trip, which was organized by B.C.’s Ministry of International Trade. “The B.C. government continues to work hard to build new markets in Asia, and India represents a huge opportunity for B.C. food producers to increase their sales,” said Minister of Agriculture Pat Pimm in a statement. “Families around the world choose B.C. products for their reputation as high-quality food (and beverages) that can be served with confidence.” The trade show brought

Water systems to be brought into compliance Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The District of West Kelowna is looking for public input to help determine the best way to deliver clean, reliable water for its citizens. The draft Master Water Plan is very broad in scope and addresses: The district’s existing and future water supply, watershed stability and drought tolerance, water’s ability to meet new provincial water
quality standards, incremental future standards, system hydraulic and distribution requirements, ongoing operations and renewal requirements, as well as water conservation impacts. West Kelowna currently has five independent water service areas, including: Lakeview, Pritchard, Sunnnyside, Westbank and West Kelowna Estates. Of the five, only the Westbank water service area meets provincial water quality
guidelines. “Interior Health has a set of drinking water standards called 4-3-2-1-0 that basically address turbidity and contaminants and so on,” said West Kelowna Mayor Findlater. “Only one system measures up to that.” Of the seven options identified in the Water Master Plan, five were deemed viable and proceeded to financial assessment. Several of the options involve the creation of a
Rose Valley Water Treatment Plant and interconnection between the five water systems. Some of those options include agriculture twinning. The options range from approximately $150 million to $175 million in capital improvements spread over the next 20 years; the district hopes to offset some of the costs through qualifying provincial grants and new development. “It’s a costly issue for West Kelowna to address.
“For council, in a lot of cases, it’s going to come down to the dollars.” Findlater said water rates will go up for users, regardless of the option that’s chosen. Some users may experience bigger increases than others. “My first question at a council meeting (when) this is presented to me is ‘What’s this going to look like in dollars in a quarterSee Water A12

Peachland FD acquires ‘state-of-the-art’ equipment

HANNA DOYE, 4, meets Sparky the Fire Dog
at a fundraiser for the West Kelowna Fire Department Saturday at Landmark Cinemas Encore in West Kelowna.
A new piece of firefighting equipment could help protect Peachland structures in the event of a future wildfire. The equipment, known as a Wildfire Automated Suppression and Protection (WASP) system was delivered to an enthusiastic Peachland Fire Department on Aug.
Dinero Ent. Inc. D.B.A.
28.
“This system is really state-of-the-art firefighting for structural protection and we’re happy Peachland chose WASP to provide them with this addition to their wild land firefighting equipment,” said WASP technical director, Darrel Pyke. The system includes a trailer containing over 1,500 feet of hose and sprinklers paired with cell

ly billing to the average user?’ I don’t have that (information) yet.” The Water Master Plan Public Outreach Steering Committee reviewed the plan and options and sought community feedback at two open houses. The first was held at Lakeview Heights
Sept. 26; the second was held in Westbank Sept. 30. The final step in the public input stage is an online survey, which can be accessed before Oct. 18 at districtofwestkelowna.ca, under Events and Meetings. Findlater said attendance at the open houses was “disappointing;”
therefore, he encouraged residents to complete the online survey in order to provide constructive feedback to the district. Alternatively, residents may download and print a feedback form from the website, complete the paper copy and return it to Municipal Hall at 2760 Cameron Road by 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 18. Council will receive a report, including public feedback, options and potential costs at its Nov. 12 meeting.
so we don’t have to turn it on hours before the fire shows up. We can wait until the fire is just about there and then turn it on at our leisure and not have to send somebody to go back in and turn it on and waste water.” The $24,700 capital expenditure was approved by Peachland council earlier this year.

running is quickly becoming a strength of the Heat women’s cross country team.
Heat women top ranked UBC Okanagan Heat women’s cross country team came out on top at Alberta Colleges Athletic Association (ACAC) Grand Prix #3, Saturday in Edmonton. The Heat proved its No. 1 ranking early in the week was no fluke, showing their depth in the 5 km race hosted by Concordia University College of Alberta. With a score of 41 points, the UBC Okanagan women bested all Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) teams at the meet, SAIT from Calgary trailed the Heat with 44 points, third went to Lethbridge College at 58.
Continuing her role as front-runner, Sandra Kilmartin was the sixth collegiate runner in 20:16. Not far behind were Michelle Blackburne in nitth (20:33), Alea Stockton in 11th (21:02) and Anna Merino in 15th (21:31). Displacers were Julianna Neudorf in 17th (21:39) and Trisha Metro in 19th (21:43). The course, although very hilly compared to the terrain the Heat had grown accustomed too, did not seem to alter the team’s strategy as they ran a very tight race; with the six Heat runners travelling the first kilometre with
only a five-second spread from the first to sixth Heat runner. “Our depth is what makes us so strong,” explains coach Nikki Reiter. Out of 81 collegiate runners, all six Heat runners came in within a spread of 13 places. “With the objective of cross country team running being to produce the lowest combined score of the top four runners, many programs depend on having one extremely fast girl to lower their overall score,” continues Reiter. “We are fortunate that we have the flexibility to have a different makeup of scorers each race.”

Hello!
My name is Terry Remin and I am the dedicated Advertising Representative for the West Kelowna Capital News. Previous to working in West Kelowna I was an Advertising Sales Representative for over three years with the Sylvan Lake News in Alberta, who is also the owner of the Rimbey Review and the Eckville Echo. I started my advertising career in Rimbey, Alberta and at the same time was the dedicated Sales Representative for the Eckville Echo in the town where I lived.
If I have not had the opportunity to meet with you, please feel free to contact me to set up a time to discuss the many affordable advertising options available in West Kelowna and surrounding communities; these options also include web advertising. The West Kelowna Capital News is distributed every Thursday; 13,000 copies can be found throughout the area. The newspaper also includes flyers from local retailers. Feel free to view our website: www.kelownacapnews.com.
When the Rimbey Review was sold to Black Press my daughther and I moved to Sylvan Lake where I joined the Sylan Lake team while continuing with the Eckville Echo.
West Kelowna Capital News is a part of the Black Press Group of newspapers, giving your business the ability to reach markets in all corners of the province of British Columbia.
I enjoyed being an active member of my community by being a member of the Chamber of Commerce. This helped me know what was happening in my communities and allowed me to keep my finger on the pulse of the business community.
As a new resident of West Kelowna I look forward to meeting with you and becoming involved in my new community and helping business grow.
My success is measured by your success!
