Wolf sightings becoming more common Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Not so long ago it was accepted that there was no wolf population in the Okanagan, but that’s certainly not the case today as wolves have been sighted close to human populations in the valley this fall. Wildlife biologist Brian Harris with the Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Ministry in Penticton, says he estimates, based on both anecdotal and scientific data, that there are 80 to 100 wolves in this area. As a result, an open season for hunting wolves, with a bag limit of three, was opened by the province in 2012. Harris noted that prior to their return to the Okanagan, there were populations of wolves all around the valley and those have now ‘spilled over’ into the Okanagan. Two weeks ago, a forestry crew member out of Merritt who was working in the forest near that community during the day with her two dogs, found herself being hunted by a pack of wolves who surrounded her. She yelled at them and convinced them to back off and her dogs went after them, but it proved to be fatal for one of them. His attack permitted her to reach her truck, along with both dogs, but one of the dogs did not survive. The incident serves as a warning to people either working or recreating in the wild around the Okanagan, to be prepared to meet wolves. “There’s no reason to panic,” Harris emphasized, but he said people should be prepared to defend themselves from an attack. Wolves normally prey on deer, moose, elk and smaller mammals, including pets. Even mature bull moose are vulnerable to predation by wolves in winter, he explained. They lose bone mass and nutrition to the growth of large antlers in late summer and early fall, causing a temporary osteoporosis and brittle bones. Then they go into the rut in October, during which they don’t eat, so by the time winter sets in, they’re not in good condition.

A suspicious package had Okanagan RCMP members back on the bomb beat Wednesday morning, trying to track down whether the beeping postal workers heard in one package was a bomb. It was early Wednesday, when RCMP members were called to the postal office at 3211 Berry Rd. to determine whether a beeping package was dangerous after postal workers noticed it while sorting mail. “The employees moved the parcel to the outside rear of the post office prior to emergency services attending,” said a statement from Kelowna RCMP Sgt. Wade Seversen yesterday. After investigating the book-sized package, the officers determined it was simply an alarm clock. But Kelowna RCMP released the statement to remind anyone finding a suspicious package to clear the area and leave the parcel where it’s found in order to avoid setting

Opening art up to disabled championed by minister Barry Gerding EDITOR
As the provincial cabinet minister for social development and social innovation, promoting Community Living Month during October to acknowledge the contributions of people with developmental disabilities and their families to our communities is part of Don McRae’s mandate. But McRae took the time on Thursday to stress the importance of art to helping expand inclusiveness for all disabled people during a tour of the Rotary Centre for the Arts and Kelowna Art Gallery. McRae met with art gallery staff, toured the current exhibits and acknowledged the need to continue to push the goal for greater inclusiveness. He said art is one area where all people, disabled or not, should have an equal opportunity to express themselves and their
artistic skills. He cited employment as another initiative his government wants to improve, as the unemployment rate for disabled workers hovers near 70 per cent in B.C. “There is a huge potential upside for employers to hire people with a disability who are able to work and for those people who are hired for jobs,” McRae said. “If you can match there right people with the right jobs, I think that is something that can offer tremendous benefits for everyone.” McRae said he and his wife are members of the Vancouver Art Gallery, and he has always wanted to visit the art gallery here during past stopovers in Kelowna. “When I stayed at the Delta Grand for the night, I would always see the art gallery from across the street and would want to come over and check
what was inside, but never had the chance during the day to stop in and visit,” said McRae, who has also served in the cabinet portfolios of education and agriculture. Nataley Nagy, executive director of the Kelowna Art Gallery, said she appreciated McRae’s visit, saying that all visiting government officials should make a point of visiting the art gallery. She said the art gallery is just like other economic entities in Kelowna, in that it employs 19 people on a part- and fulltime basis, has more than 35,000 visits a year and receives funding from gaming revenues and the B.C. Arts Council. “We are a business too that generates about $1 million for the local economy,” she added. Nagy and Renee Burgess, head of public programming, also took the opportunity to talk to McRae about the art gallery’s

Rat problem spreading to other neighbourhoods Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Rats in Kelowna are apparently not limited to the Glenmore area, but have also been reported in a number of other parts of the city. However, neither the city, nor the regional district has plans to help reduce their numbers by producing any educational materials for residents or taking other action. James Avery, president of the Friends and Residents of the Abbott Street Heritage Conservation Area Society (FRAHCAS), part of the Kelowna South-central Association of Neighbourhoods, says he’s received a number of reports from people
who have seen rats between Knox Mountain and the hospital. He has even seen one himself near Abbott Street and Harvey Avenue, running across the road. Following a weekend meeting between city officials and the presidents of residents’ associations, Avery said the city suggested anyone seeing rats report it on the city’s website, under service requests, pests. “We should be ringing the bell at city hall. That will help quantify the issue and will provide some data on numbers,” he suggested. “It’s incumbent on local government and Interior Health to do something,” he added.

SETTING UP rat traps may be required by more than just residents in Glenmore. As well, he said residents have to take responsibility for their own property. Instead of denying it’s
an issue because it’s unpleasant, he said people have to take their heads out of the sand. “The issue is not just
in the Glenmore area,” he said. He noted that garbage containers in city parks do not have lids on them, which could be attractive to rodents. Kim Dodds, president of the Glenmore Valley Community Association said the city has not been very helpful to residents in that area who are trying to deal with the rat problem. “It’s not good promotion for the city, but we need to deal with it. It’s up to the city to help educate people,” he said. It’s important that people pick all their fruit and nuts up from the ground, as well as cleaning up around bird feeders and not leaving out pet food.
Trash should be removed and stored material not left on the ground. Openings should be screened to keep them out of buildings. Glenmore resident Nancy Kummen says she has trapped nine of the roof rats or black rats in the past couple of weeks, after they destroyed her tomato crop. She has also found hundreds of hazelnut shells and rat droppings under her deck from a neighbour’s tree, and says another neighbour’s wood pile is full of rat droppings. These rats are not native to the Kelowna area. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

A unique partnership has officially been ratified between the Regional District of Central Okanagan and the UBC Okanagan Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies. The two have teamed up through a Memorandum of Understanding and Lease Agreement to use a portion of the recently expanded Woodhaven Nature Conservancy Regional Park to implement a unique Eco-Art program on the new park property. The formation of the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre builds on a highly successful Eco-Art exhibit project that was held in the main part of the park during 2010. The key principle behind Eco-Art is that it doesn’t harm the environment of the park in any way and utilizes the natural surroundings in the creative arts process. Earlier this year at Woodhaven, the faculty hosted
THE REGIONAL District of Central Okanagan and the UBCO Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies have co-signed a lease agreement to use a portion of the recently expanded Woodhaven Nature Conservancy Regional Park to implement a unique Eco-Art program. a number of public events involving the Eco-Art theme with a visiting artist from Newfoundland. The agreement will see graduate students of the faculty and visiting artists residing in and using buildings on the property as they explore Eco-Art projects and provide activities, events and workshops. The 3.5-hectare property was added to Woodhaven Nature Conservancy Regional Park earlier this year. While it remains closed to the public until a management plan and trails are developed, it will be accessible and open for publicized special activities and events that are related to the Eco-Art and Culture Centre partner-
ship. Regional district board chair Robert Hobson said: “Woodhaven’s unique natural setting was preserved thanks to the vision and environmental activism of Joan and Jim Burbridge many years ago. The Eco-Art projects with UBC have been a huge success and show that creative endeavours can take place with total sensitivity to the natural environment. “We look forward to expanding the artistic horizons of graduate students by providing them with a unique natural canvas and inspiring residents across the region through the Eco-Art creations and programs offered through the Woodhaven Eco Cul-
ture Centre,” said Nancy Holmes, poet, creative writing professor and associate dean for UBCO’s Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies. For her, the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre is the culmination of a long-held dream for an innovative multi-use space where visiting artists, scholars, and graduate students can live, work, create and research. “This has been on our wish list for a long while,” explained Holmes. “The Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre provides facilities to focus on art, research and culture. Students can delve ever deeper into their studies and stroke their creative process without distraction.”

Local honey products are winners Judie Steeves
Vista’s non-carbonated sweet mead, its apricot, took first place as well, tied with Planet Bee Honey Farm and Meadery in Vernon. In the non-carbonated dry mead category, Meadow Vista took first place for its Libra honey wine, while Planet Bee Meadery took second and third place. Judge Keith Rae of Vernon said it was great to have so many entries brought to the convention and trade show this year. Honey entries ranged in colour from water white to dark, with all shades in between, he said. “The vast variety in tastes and colours of the honeys from different regions of B.C. and floral sources was exquisite,” he said. The other local winner was Claudette Lamont of West Kelowna, who took third place in the white honey category. Delegates also learned about bee management, instrumental insemination of bees, bees’ future and agriculture, research that’s ongoing at UBC, hive health, the healing powers of honey and greening the apiary.

Hundreds of beekeepers from around the province buzzed into town over the weekend to learn the latest about raising those vital honey-producing pollinators. It was the annual general meeting and conference of the B.C. Honey Producers Association, called Hive’n and Thrive’n and was held at the Best Western Hotel in Kelowna. It included the annual competition amongst beekeepers for the best honeys, bees wax, frames of honey or comb, pollen and meads. Although the top prizes went out of town, with the Premier Honey Award going to Mike Cober of the 108 Mile Ranch and People’s Choice to Amanda Goodman Lee of Honey Bee Zee Apiaries of New Westminster, the mead (a fermented honey beverage) with the highest points in the show went to Judie Barta’s Meadow Vista Mabon, of Kelowna.

winter roads in B.C., but not all of them. That’s one reason why Transportation Minister Todd Stone has added the topic of tires to a provincial review of highway safety that includes speed limits. “It’s been almost 40 years since the current definition of a winter tire was actually changed, and tire technology has advanced dramatically, particularly over the last five to 10 years,” Stone said Tuesday. With the popularity of all-season tires and all-wheel-drive vehicles, Stone said there is some confusion about what is acceptable for requirements that took effect Oct. 1 on routes that have winter conditions. Those routes have signs advising drivers to use winter tires or carry chains, and police may turn drivers away if they
are not properly equipped. True winter tires have a symbol of a mountain and snowflake on the sidewall. All-season tires with the “M+S” mark to indicate traction in mud and snow are also permissible, but all tires must have a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm. A quick test can be done using a dime. Point Her Majesty’s head downward and insert the dime in the tire tread. If the top of her head remains visible, the tire is too worn to qualify for

City use of social Business teams media growing win gold at
With the growing popularity of the City of Kelowna’s Twitter and Facebook social media channels, the city now offers another way to connect with what’s happening around the city—Instagram. Instagram is an online photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that lets users share their pictures and videos with followers. Instagram has grown rapidly in popularity since its launch in 2010, with more than 100 million active users today. “We have seen a huge jump in residents accessing information about the city from mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets,” said Tom Wilson, communications supervisor at the city. “Instagram is another great way to reach our residents where they are at, which is on the go and on their phones.” One of the first cities in Canada to use Instagram to connect with residents, the City of Kelowna created its account in August to gauge interest from residents about connecting using a photo-based platform. The uptake has been quick, and the City of Kelowna now has more than 150 Instagram followers, with the audience continuing to grow every day. “We’ve noticed the tone of feedback we’re receiving on Instagram is very positive,” said Wilson. “On our other channels we get all sorts of comments, but Instagram is a place to share good news stories and it develops an audience that seems to appreciate that.” The City of Kelowna Instagram account shares photos of various events happening around the city, from the launch of the new public pier, to Volunteer Week, to the revitalization happening on Bernard Avenue. The city strives to keep residents up-to-date on all the issues that affect the community and there are multiple channels through to connect, get information, and provide feedback. Discover all the ways to stay informed at kelowna.ca/connect. A Stats Canada report released Monday shows Kelowna residents to be proficient users of online technology. The Census Metropolitan Areas with the highest rates of Internet use were Kelowna (93 per cent), Regina (90 per cent), and Victoria (90 per cent). Other major metropolitan areas such as Calgary (89 per cent) Vancouver (88 per cent), Toronto (88 per cent) and Montréal (84 non per cent) all had rates of InternetRec:Layout use cap news profit ad-Parkinson above the national average.
competition Okanagan College’s national reputation for business excellence continues to grow as eight students from the Okanagan College School of Business won two gold medals at the Link BC 2013 Student Case Competition, the premier tourism case competition in the province. This is the first time ever junior and senior teams from the same school were awarded top honours. Students in the junior (first and second year) and senior (third and fourth year) categories went head to head with teams from the province’s tourism and hospitality schools including Royal Roads University, Thompson Rivers University, and Capilano University on Sunday, Oct 27. Teams had the option of presenting case solutions in one of two critical areas of hospitality and
tourism, human resources or customer loyalty. Both Okanagan College teams presented customer loyalty solutions for Helijet, a $12-million helicopter company from Vancouver and came first in their respective categories. The senior team earned the additional honour of being the highest scoring team overall. “We created a comprehensive customer loyalty program that went beyond a points system and rewarded both customer behaviour and brand engagement, which was all integrated into a CRM system. We were the only team to do this,” said third year tourism and hospitality student Jordan Lacroix. Team mentor and Okanagan College School of Business professor Blair Baldwin, added: “It shows that our students could create a substantial customer loyalty

This was not an artificial game; this is a real company under major competitive threat.” College business professor Laura Thurnheer was the second faculty mentor working closely with the winning teams. “Company representatives told us that the innovation, creativity, and design of the program were so well thought out they were seriously considering implementing parts of it,” Baldwin said. While the strategy of both teams was exceptional, Baldwin attributes the win in part to the
presentation skills of all team members, a thought echoed by first year business student and junior competition team member Stephen Jung. “The win was reward-
ing, not only because we worked hard, but because we made the most of our individual strengths. I am proud to have represented Okanagan College with my team members.”

Damage keeps accumulating
T
he ongoing Senate scandal has certainly done its share of damage — to the prime minister, the Conservative Party, the institution of the Senate and politicians in general. The damage may not spread past that group, but it is significant and it may be lasting. The Senate is certainly at its low point. It has never been popular with Canadians, being seen as a repository for bagmen, party hacks and failed politicians. While a few individual senators have done important
and significant work, as a whole the institution does little of lasting importance. Now it has clearly been shown that many senators, and this goes far beyond Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau, have had their hands in the cookie jar. Even when they get caught, the Senate and indeed the prime minister do little or nothing to change the culture of entitlement, which is widespread through the federal government. It isn’t just politicians who
feel they are entitled to benefits that most other Canadians don’t get. Public servants have clauses in their contracts relating to sick leave, indexed pensions, severance and extended health care that most others can only dream of. The prime minister first took office in 2006 on a pledge to reform the Senate. It is now clear he has no idea of how to do so. A court decision in Quebec has basically ruled all his reform ideas cannot be implemented, and the court decision implies that the Senate will never
be abolished, unless most provinces agree. Even if, in the court of public opinion, Stephen Harper is cleared of direct knowledge of off-the-books payments to senators, the public won’t soon forget that he appointed these three senators, and that he campaigned vigorously on Senate reform. As for the Conservative Party, in the next election its fortunes are totally tied to Harper. If he falters, so does the party. It has no plan B.

Motorists need to be on alert during Halloween night
W
ith this being the first time in seven years of writing this column that it’s published on Halloween, I have two pieces of advice to share. One of them is that going out in public wearing a hotdog suit feels oddly liberating. If only we didn’t feel we had to take ourselves seriously the other 364 days in the year. As for my other piece of Halloween advice, first consider if you one of the 1.2 million people who have watched the British Columbia made YouTube video: Speed Kills your Pocketbook? The video makes a compelling case for increasing posted speed limits to approximate the natural flow
of traffic. It ridicules use of the message “speed kills” to support the money grab of radar traps where drivers are ticketed for following the natural flow of traffic. It makes the point that when “speeding” is at the natural flow of traffic the only thing speed kills is your pocketbook. I find it interesting that the video went viral at about the same time as B.C’s new transportation minister announced that speed limits on our highways are long overdue for a review and could see an increase based on current research.
Why can’t the right things happen for the right reasons, rather than for political reasons? I also have a problem with speed limPaul its, but not because Hergott they are too low, but because most people seem to view them as a minimum, rather than a maximum speed. This becomes dangerous when road, traffic, visibility or weather conditions come into play. The media made a big deal, and properly so, about unheeded warnings of an unsafely parked construction vehicle hours before a motorist
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
smashed into the back of that vehicle and was killed on the No. 1 Highway in Langley last month. The theme of the news story was that the fatality would have been avoided had the warnings been heeded. No mention was made of the importance of reducing your speed in dense fog conditions so that you can react to the unexpected. The most important speed limit law in this province, in my view, comes from section 144 of the Motor Vehicle Act. Subsection 1(c) reads as follows: “A person must not drive a motor vehicle on a highway at a speed that is excessive relative to the road, traffic, visibility or weather conditions.”
It is a common sense prohibition. Speed, indeed, kills when that important speed limit law is ignored. So this is where my other piece of Halloween advice comes. The children of our community will be prowling around this evening. So yes, we should be ensuring that our children are dressed for safety, readily visible to motorists and without their own vision blocked by their costumes. Older children should be carefully coached to take care when crossing the street and younger children should be carefully supervised. In my view, however, the much,

Economically imprudent railway line could be great cycling tourist attraction
To the editor: Re: Debate currently going on with the Vernon-Kelowna section of the old rail line. They estimate it will take $10 million to retrofit the line for safety. Sure, I imagine the line doesn’t turn a big profit either, certainly can’t foresee it as a commuter train line anytime soon. - What it does provide though, is a critical thread that joins communities, many that are now being isolated by new roadways way up the mod-
ern infrastructure ladder. This scenic thread could morph into an economic and social artery if the political and tourism leaders’ resolve was engaged—all you need is a plan for that bed of stone and steel. Generations of businesses will know doubt say that it has been a lifeblood for them, conversely a nemesis for others for lots of different reasons— safety, threat of pollution in the lake, etc. The bottom line always talks anyway. How do we keep those economic wheels spin-
ning on this ancient rail line all the while doing something for struggling rural areas en route? Create a local tourism entity group that would provide the regional district with the option of a handover of the entire easement, city to city, for what should be one of the most iconic rail trails in the entire world. It would rival the best trails around, like Costa Brava Spain, Queen Charlotte NZ. This wouldn’t compete with the KVR Trail but only compliment it, enhancing the Oka-
nagan as a destination for family-friendly, active tourism. The amazing section of the KVR from Naramata to Myra Belleview could be first of two days of a leisurely fourday value-adding cycle to Vernon. Tell me, where else in the world does this opportunity of a rail bed easement just sitting primed for recreational use on a series of lakes exist? With just a simple bicycle and some hikers it would morph into a sustainable community asset
with low maintenance infrastructure that would become an iconic “lake country trail,” provide an ongoing lifeblood for land owners and tourism businesses. Studies worldwide have shown that rail trails can (if done correctly) provide a return on investment for communities far beyond other recreational infrastructure and the bonus of being a healthy, positive thing for connecting our communities for the future.

▼ SPEED LIMIT
Only a wide-spread police presence will change speeding drivers’ dangerous habit To the editor: It’s common knowledge that the posted speed limit and stop signs are, to the majority of people, mere suggestions. Disregarding the rules, excessive speed and distracted driving are at the root of most accidents.
And, by the way, road and weather conditions do not ‘cause’ accidents. Road and weather conditions only make the accident more likely to happen when the excessive speed, the following too close and the distracted driving put the driv-
er in a situation he or she can’t control. It is almost always the drivers involved causing the accident and age and gender are irrelevant. Efforts to reduce accidents by reducing or raising the posted speed limit will fail.
More signs will also be ignored. Only police enforcement has any hope of changing behaviour. Accidents, injury and fatality will continue as long as there are no real incentives to change behaviour; as long as people have the belief that ac-
cidents only happen to someone else; or if they are involved in an accident it had to have been the fault of the other driver, the road or the weather. Ed Loewen, West Kelowna

Harper can’t win back the respect he has lost To the editor: The ultimate ending to the Senate trap the Prime Minister finds himself is that he will be seen as a failed leader at the end of a long regime. He has failed to bring true reform to the senate, he finds himself encircled with legal opinions

and judicial announcements that prevent any serious action on Senate reform. These are mainly due to self-induced delays and poor Senate appointments that have shown his true colours and weak judgement. (His colours are not conservative blue, but pink from embarrassment).
His party is becoming fractured and his support is waning publicly. “All the King’s horses and all the King’s men can’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again,” to remind us through a child’s nursery rhyme. The Senate debacle has already clouded the public focus on the new

much greater onus of care falls upon motorists. Those of us behind the wheel this evening must follow the common sense prohibition contained within section 144 of the Motor Vehicle Act. We must drive at a speed that takes into account the unique, Halloween, road conditions. Every residential area should be treated like a school zone.
We need to be driving at a speed that allows us to react to the eager trick-ortreater who forgets his or her parents’ caution and darts out from between cars to get to the house on the other side of the street. I wish us all a safe Halloween. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims.

Shoe collection drive delivers Murli Pendharkar, a retired Kelowna teacher and current Central Okanagan school trustee, knows what it’s like to live unable to afford protection for his feet. He lived that reality for 24 years of his life in India, where he grew up. “Once in a blue moon I used to have a pair of flip-flops but they usually got lost or stolen,” he recalled. Pendharkar’s firsthand experience is why he supported the campaign #Barefoot4Them earlier this month, a fundraising initiative for the Soles4Souls campaign. “We’re very spoiled in this country in (these) terms…now I can’t even walk around my living room without something on my feet,” said Pendharkar, whose Rotary Club
joined him by hosting their last meeting barefoot. More than 10,000 people across nine countries participated in #Barefoot4Them by posting pictures of themselves online with the event’s name as a hashtag. Jim Belshaw, a Kelowna business owner and chair of Soles4Souls Canada, called the support overwhelming. He continues to personally visit the children to help hand out the shoes from Soles4Souls. “It’s life changing,” said Jim Belshaw, who owns Roy’s Shoes store in downtown Kelowna. “To see the difference a new or used pair of shoes makes on a young child’s face and demeanor…they come shuffling into their church or com-

It’s also enabling education. “Without a pair of black dress shoes, they cannot go to school,” he said, explaining that Haiti requires a strict uniform to allow children in. “A white shirt or blouse is a little easier to get, but shoes are not.” It’s not just Haiti either, as Belshaw says there are many African countries
with similar rules. Belshaw left again for Haiti on Oct. 19 to deliver more shoes. “We’ve got half a dozen orphanages lined up,” he said, each with 15 to 200 kids. “We’re going to try to put shoes on all those kids that need them.” You can help contribute to the 350k shoes that have been given out so far by visiting https://soles4souls.org/donate. It only takes $1 to change the life of one person as Soles4Souls provides one pair of shoes for each dollar donated.

Significant changes proposed for proposed zoning bylaw Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna residents will have a chance to voice their comments and concerns regarding several proposed zoning bylaw changes, which, in one way or another, will likely affect them. Tuesday morning, council gave first and second reading to Official Community Plan amendments and second reading to a zoning bylaw that includes several changes. Coun. Rick de Jong described the draft bylaw as “a radical overhaul” to the district’s existing zoning bylaw, which was in-herited from the Regional District of the Central -Okanagan and last sub,stantially reviewed in .2000. t Zoning bylaws enable tmunicipalities to regulate land use and imple-ment the objectives of Official Community Plans. r“Every single property -in the district is affectyed, in one way or another, ethrough this process,” said -Coun. Duane Ophus. r Council debated sevreral changes found in the 173-page draft zoning by-
law, including the minimum parcel size in the agricultural zone. On Oct. 8, during first reading, council narrowly voted to make the minimum parcel size eight hectares for land within the Agricultural Land Reserve in the A1 zone. Coun. Gord Milsom challenged that decision Tuesday, suggesting the minimum parcel size should be four hectares. “I’m thinking of the young individuals who want to get into the farming business,” said Milsom. “Perhaps they can only afford a four-hectare property—this pretty well eliminates their entry into this industry.” According to a report submitted by senior planner Dallas Clowes, there are currently only 19 parcels within the ALR, in the A1 zone, larger than eight hectares. De Jong argued there are plenty of four-hectare parcels left for young farmers hoping to get into the industry. “The problem is, for larger viable farms, there are not a lot of larger parcels left,” said de Jong. “Those parcels are going to be gone if we don’t
protect them now.” Despite de Jong’s concerns, council reversed its decision Tuesday and opted to make the minimum parcel size four hectares in a 4-3 decision. According to Mayor Doug Findlater, a “sleeper” issue may be the change in minimum parcel size in the single detached residential zone (R1) from 700-squaremetres to 550. “If you have a lot of 1,100-square-metres, provided it meets all the other requirements, you could subdivide it quietly— just bring in a surveyor, register it with the district and build another house,” said Findlater. He said the change will likely allow several properties in Lakeview Heights and Glenrosa to subdivide. “You could see a fairly big increase in density. Upside: More housing, more tax base, the homeowner who can do that will benefit—it’s increased the value of their property. “Downside: Greater density in the neighbourhood without a lot of discussion, except through this bylaw.”
Findlater said he is concerned residents won’t realize the bylaw will affect them until it’s too late. “Some people hear zoning bylaw and their eyes glaze over. (But) it applies to everyone— that’s the concern about this kind of very large, overarching bylaw.” De Jong added residents in Westbank and Boucherie Centres should pay special attention to the proposed zoning changes. Under the draft zoning bylaw, Westbank Centre would be rezoned to compact residential (RC1) to permit single detached houses, secondary suites, duplexes and townhouses. The recommendation stems from the Westbank Centre Revitalization Plan, to enable opportunities for infill development and more affordable housing. Boucherie Centre would become compact residential (RC2). “We’ve got individuals who are going to be subject to a rezoning of their property from R1 to RC1,” said de Jong. “They’re the ones who are going to be impacted the most.” The district plans to
do a mass mail out, informing citizens of an upcoming public hearing to discuss the draft zoning bylaw. The public hearing
will be held Nov. 26 at 6 p.m., either in council chambers (2760 Cameron Road) or a nearby venue, depending on attendance. “The message is:
z O . s r D staff and
There are major changes—show up and be heard,” said Ophus. View the draft zoning bylaw at www.districtofwestkelowna.ca.

Wolf population growing in our region Sightings from A1 That leaves them vulnerable to attack by a pack of wolves, particularly when the snow gets deep and forms a crust, causing moose to have trouble getting around, but allowing the wolf to pad around on top. Normally, grey wolves tend to be secretive and nocturnal. Harris said he gathered his anecdotal information by keeping track of accounts from sportsmen, ranchers, guide outfitters and conservation officers for three
years, and found when he plotted them on a map, there were two big clusters of reports in the Grand Forks and the Cherryville areas, but there were reports of them all over the Okanagan. They can hunt in a very large range, but sometimes their ranges overlap, he said. Presently, there is a healthy moose population in the Okanagan, and elk are also doing well, said Harris. While mule deer populations are spotty, white-tailed deer are holding their own in number. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

A walk back to many memories By: Kassidie Cornell It was a walk down memory lane as my grade 12 Social Justice class visited Hudson Road Elementary and took the time to read to three separate grade two classes. It was safe to say the kids taught us more than we taught them. Taking the time to ponder over what colour of crayon to use next, or what type of car to use during play time, was what the kids worried about the most. My class was able to look back on the years when boys still had “coodies” and when “free time” was still incorporated into the curriculum. Nobody told us how stressful school would become nor did anyone tell us that we would
be asked one hundred times a day “what do you want to do next year?” It was amazing to think that we had come all this way, through six years of elementary school, three years of middle school, and now on to our final year of high school. All of us grade 12s were able to step back and realize that this used to be us; all the girls wearing pink and the boys getting filthy outside on the play ground. We may not openly admit it, but those are the days we miss. Being able to sit next to a few kids and read to them was very inspiring for me and the rest of my class. The kids were smiling from ear to ear and were so amazed that these
“big kids” actually wanted to spend time with them. My entire class came to the realization that we have simply lost track of our childhood memories, following the days that we spent with those little ones. In the end, our experiences from elementary school have shaped us into who we are today. If it weren’t for our years of critical learning in elementary school we wouldn’t be where we are today. My classmates and I were taken back by the difference between us and the grade twos and I think that was the purpose of the trip. We gave back to the community, but at the same time, were able to learn about ourselves.
Once in a lifetime
As the light shimmers off the water I cannot believe I made it. From so far away, mountains and trees, to ocean and rock. From over there to here. It is breathtaking The spirit, energy and excitement kidnapping me, Making me jump up and yell, Cheering until my voice stops working, Changing me from one to another. So friendly and welcoming I sit with others, People I know not, But in a way we have known one another for a while, And now a friendship grows forever.
By: Quentin Scott
A life changing experience, Speakers that will always be in mind, Lessons that will always be practiced, And a brain that is now well nourished. A place that I will always remember, A place where friends were made, Where lessons learned, Where I became a new man. My name is Quentin Scott and I am Westbank First Nations member and I attend Mount Boucherie Secondary School. This September I was fortunate enough to attend the Canadian Student Leadership Conference in Montague, P.E.I, with many others, to represent British Columbia, School District #23 and Westbank First Nations. The energy and excitement that was seen there was unbelievable, and breathtaking. Like a flash mob, you would be walking through the high school and students would randomly break out in a cheer as if you were at cheer camp. Though I was unaware of the lyrics I would still do my best to join in. Even at eight in the morning, when we all walked through the halls like zombies, still trying to wake up, someone would yell one out. But when it came to the workshops everyone buckled down and was full focused for the speaker. Only one word can describe the speakers: amazing. The knowledge they
held and passed on to us, and the way they spoke was perfect. Looking at us, not like children, but future leaders, future knowledge holders to pass on the next generation so they can pass it on the one after them and so on. Helping us see the world through new eyes and a different pair of shoes, and what we can do to help. Whether they were serious, or comical, it was wonderful to be able to not only watch them, but be a part of the whole thing. This conference changed my views of the world and opened my eyes a whole lot wider, giving me the chance to be able to impact someone else the same way I have. I am truly appreciative towards my school district and everyone that helped out to get me and all the other students to go to Montague and be a part of it. I cannot wait until the Canadian Student Leadership Conference comes to Kelowna, British Columbia in September 2014!
Starting high school By Phoebe Kemp Walking through the doors for the first time at MBSS was very intimidating yet exciting. Many emotions rushed over me as we gathered in the gym for our orientation. I was worried as the School was so big, a little bit afraid but full of anticipation. Although I was with my friends, I felt as though I was surrounded by strangers, as though I didn’t belong. I knew a few faces around me but as other schools feed into this high school there were a lot of people around that I didn’t know. The Link Leaders were great; they put us at ease by convincing us to be ourselves and telling us that it would become easy to make new friends. I have already
made some new friends and realize by talking to them that they were as nervous as I was on the first day. Starting high school has made me realize there are so many new opportunities for everyone. Being in a positive environment and having more electives to choose from can prepare us for how life truly is. Some of the differences I have noticed between grades nine and 10 are that in grade 10 we are allowed to leave the school grounds at lunchtime and have more freedom. There are also more electives; like, media studies, photography and hair dressing so you can try out things that you have never tried before and there are three different band classes,
ROTARY INTERACT
concert band, jazz band and jazz studies. Some of these new electives take place before the school day. Being in grade 10 at MBSS demonstrates to me that we are becoming more responsible for our actions and we must start to think seriously about studies and careers because the time is rapidly approaching when we need to decide what we would like to do when we leave. Staff and students show that the class of 2016 can make themselves stand out and be known during our years at this historic school whilst still having lots of fun. I feel that the transition from middle school to high school was not as scary as I thought it would be and so far has been a positive experience.

THE ZOLAS, Zachary Gray and Tom Dobrzanski perform at The Habitat Nov. 13.
CONTRIBUTED
▼ THE ZOLAS
Musicians from the very start Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
This week, as most of North America is out haunting their neighbourhood with visions of candy bars and ghoulish costumes, Zachary Gray is talk about unmasking corporate greed. As the vocalist for The Zolas—named for French writer and activist Émile Zola—he’s always been more focused on writing about relationships than the themes behind Occupy. “I have a pretty sensitive gag reflex for self-righteousness in songs. So I suppose I save it for interviews,” he jokes. The telephone call is three months into the Vancouver group’s tour— they’re riding sidesaddle with Hollerado—and two weeks before they land in Kelowna, reputedly one of the first towns outside of Vancouver to ever know repertoire from their first two albums by
heart. The issue of the day, or of the interview, is the latest Zola release. Their new single, Invisible, came out just as they started the tour and less than a year after their last album and it sets its sights squarely on the kind of corporate bullies who make headlines in newspapers. “I guess it comes down to a feeling that the system we have in place to motivate people to do good is not enough. In the past, when people were more religious—I don’t really have religion— but one thing it did do is it gave people in power some fear,” said Gray. “I don’t believe in Heaven. I don’t believe in Hell, but it was nice when powerful people did; it gave them a reason to be good.” Gray believes young people have the power to affect change when united around a cause and the song is basically a rallying cry. “Generally, it’s just
about supporting people in your life to make change and to be a part of what we all want,” he said adding “it is a flood, we just think of ourselves as drops of water.” One listen and it’s easy to pick out the climate change theme, evoking the storms of the coast, but it’s also quite easy to get caught in the catchy, upbeat rhythm. And one must admit it’s mildly apropos for a fall tour as the dynamic duo imagine what it would be like to haunt those in power, a Halloween image with a ghosts of Christmas twist. “That’s how it started, but like a lot of my songs, it broadens from there,” said Gray, who comes from good songwriting stock. He is the son of CBC writer John MacLachlan Gray and he and Zolas partner Tom Dobrzanski come out of another band, Lotus Child. As such, they are relative newcomers to the
Canadian indie music diaspora as The Zolas, but Lotus Child stepped onto the scene in 2003. Dobrzanski has also developed a very successful sound engineering and production career, earning a Juno nomination for his work on Said the Whale’s Little Mountain, and working with much of the Vancouver Indie scene. These are musicians who knew they wanted to be musicians right from the start and that makes it an easier ride, according to Gray. From the ability to tour, to the ability to stay motivated, they are out on the road playing for audiences and writing in between because this is the best life they can imagine. This quality among those who believe they want to be musicians is few and far between. The Zolas play with Hollerado at Habitat Nov. 13. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door, available through thehabitat.ca. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
appy Halloween everybody and while the kids have barely begun to collect their candy corn, it is already time to look forward to some of the biggest movies of the year. You can already purchase tickets for Thor: The Dark World (opening Nov. 10) and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Nov. 24) as this weekend is the unofficial start of the holiday movie season. While the three new releases will not individually ignite the box office, together they will draw many people to movie theatres. Based on Orson Scott Card’s best-selling and award-winning 1985 novel, Ender’s Game is a science fiction film starring Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis (The Help), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine). Asa Butterfield (Hugo) stars as Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, an unusually gifted child who is sent to an advanced military school in space to prepare for a future alien invasion.
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis Behind the camera, not only does author Card serve as producer, he is joined by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the duo behind movies like Star Trek: Into Darkness and Now You See Me and TV shows like Alias, Fringe and Hawaii 5-0. The screenwriter and director is South African Gavin Hood, who won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language film in 2005 for Tsotsi. While Last Vegas may look like The Hangover for baby boomers, the four Academy Award-winning stars give this comedy a certain amount of gravitas. Michael Douglas stars as the last of four friends in their 60s to end his bachelorhood and they decide to celebrate by heading to Vegas. Robert De Niro, Morgan Free-
man and Kevin Kline play his life-long friends who leave their domestic lives for one more blowout. It is directed by Jon Turteltaub, whose impressive resume includes Cool Runnings, While You Were Sleeping, Phenomenon and the National Treasure movies. Screenwriter Dan Fogelman is best known for the Disney animated movies Tangled, Bolt and Cars, but also wrote the under-appreciated Crazy, Stupid, Love. What is really notable about Last Vegas is that this is the first time the four stars have shared the screen, but watch for the always likable Mary Steenburgen as it is said that she steals the spotlight from the legendary leads. It is dangerous to make a movie about turkeys because it makes writing negative reviews very easy, which is probably why the producers changed the title from Turkeys to Free Birds. However, reviews of this bright and colourful ani-

Two South Africans set out to discover what happened to their unlikely musical hero, the mysterious 1970s rock 'n' roller, Rodriguez. Rodriguez was the greatest ’70s U.S. rock icon who never was. His albums were critically well-received, but sales bombed, and he faded away into obscurity among rumors of a gruesome death. However, as fate would have it, a bootleg copy of his record made its way to South Africa, where his music became a phenomenal success. In a country suppressed by apartheid, his antiestablishment message connected with the people. When his second album finally gets released on CD in South Africa, two fans take it as a sign, deciding to look into the mystery of how Rodriguez died and what happened to all of the profits from his album sales. SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN is a story of hope, inspiration, and the resonating power of music.

Okanagan Sun take big strides in 2013 Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
A 2013 season that ended at least a couple of weeks too soon for new coach Shane Beatty, still produced plenty of positives for the Okanagan Sun. An 8-2 record, a second-place finish in the BCFC and a home playoff game all spoke to a much improved on-field product for a team that was in relative disarray just 12 months earlier. Club president Paul Carson said Beatty, a former Sun player with U.S. college coaching experience, brought a new attitude and focus to the football club in 2013. “Shane did a great job with the team, not just with the performance on the field but with the whole structure as well,” said Carson. “With the recruiting he did, working with the assistant coaches, Shane did a lot of good things from the day he arrived here.” Coming off a 3-7 season under Gavin Lake in 2012, the Sun launched an exhaustive and thorough search for a new head coach who was capable of turning around a stumbling team in short order. It didn’t take long for Beatty’s intensity, knowledge and passion for the game to pay dividends for the Sun. “Shane’s got a lot of experience at different levels, so one thing he brought right away was

IN HIS first season at the helm, head coach Shane Beatty led the Okanagan Sun to an 8-2 record and second-place finish in the B.C. Football Conference. credibility,” said Carson. “He was instrumental in getting acceptance quickly and, it’s an overused term, but there was a real buy-in from the players. “He was demanding and hard on the players, but they recognized there is a benefit that goes with that and it showed on the field.” Not on the job until last March, Beatty had to work quickly and efficiently to prepare the Sun for the 2013 season.
A roster half-filled with new players and one of the league’s youngest teams at his disposal, Beatty admits even he was surprised at how quickly the Sun came together on the field. “Honestly, when I got here I didn’t know how we were going to do,” said Beatty, a former linebacker with the Sun in 1990. “I thought we had some decent athletes, but I was a little skeptical about the level we’d be able to com-
pete at. “But the guys gelled really fast and they believed in each other. Our motto was to go 1-0 each week, not to look ahead.

Cooke CHL goalie of the week A stellar weekend between the pipes for the Kelowna Rockets has earned Jordon Cooke the Canadian Hockey League’s goaltender of the week award. In two victories over the hometown Victoria Royals, the 20-year-old stopper turned aside 61 shots, posted a goalsagainst-average of 0.96 and save percentage of .968. On Friday night he made 28 saves and was named second star of the
the Sun could be members of the Canada West university conference, under the banner of UBC Okanagan, by as early as the 2015 or 2016 seasons. As part of the transition, Shane Beatty hopes to have as many as 40 players on his roster enrolled in university classes next season. As for the Sun’s anticipated move to the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) within the next two to three years, Carson said the club and UBC Okanagan are focused on a common goal. “We’re already planning from a team standpoint (for the CIS) and we have to operate that way,” Carson said. “We’re still playing in the BCFC and have to be focused on the immediate needs but we also need to be fully prepared when the time comes to move. “There’s still a lot of work to be done, but I think both sides are motivated and excited to see this happen.” UBC Okanagan has until August 2014 to file an official application for a Canada West football program.
Jordon Cooke 4-1 win, then stopped 33 shots on Saturday and blanked all three Royals’ shooters to earn first star
honours in the 2-1 shootout victory. Cooke, a native of Leduc, Alta., is playing in his fourth career WHL season with the Rockets. In 10 games this season he has an 8-0-0-2 record with a league-best goalsagainst-average of 1.85 and league-high save percentage of .939. This weekend, Cooke and the Rockets will be in Prince George for games against the Cougars on Friday and Saturday nights.

Owls, Huskies share third at TRU tourney
THE Kelowna Chris-
tian Knights celebrate the B.C. Christian schools girls’ provincial volleyball title on the weekend in Abbotsford. CONTRIBUTED
Knights win B.C. Christian Schools title Persistence has paid off for the Kelowna Christian Knights senior girls’ volleyball program. After settling for bronze in 2011 and a silver medal in 2012, the Knights are finally at the top of the heap in B.C. Christian School Sports girls volleyball.
The Knights, ranked No. 1 at the A level in B.C., captured the BCCSSAA provincial championship last weekend in Abbotsford with a victory over Surrey’s Pacific Academy in the final. The teams first met in pool play with KCS emer-
ging with a 2-0 win. In the final, the Knights won the opener 25-22, only to have Pacific rebound for a 25-16 victory in the second set. In the deciding set, a battle to the finish saw KCS triumph 15-13 to earn the gold medal. “It was a real nail-
biter at the end but we prevailed,” said Knights’ coach Rob Smith. The Knights’ Jacqueline Sellers was named the tournament’s MVP, while Micaylee Pucilowski was named to the first all-star team.
A pair of Kelowna teams made it as far as the semifinals before going down to defeat at the Thompson Rivers University boys volleyball tournament last weekend in Kamloops. The Kelowna Owls, the No. 1 ranked team at the AAA level, and the Okanagan Mission Huskies (AA) finished in a tie for third place at the 24team event. After going 3-0 in power pool play, the Owls advanced through the first two rounds of the playoffs before meeting No. 2 Earl Marriott. KSS won the opener 25-18, but Marriott rebounded to take the next two sets 25-23 and 15-13 in a very tight three-set
match. “Great weekend of volleyball but we fell asleep in the semi finals against a very good team,” said Owls coach Mike Sodaro. “Perhaps this is a loss that will push the boys to work harder in practice to achieve our goal of returning to the provincial championship gold medal match.” Meanwhile, playing in the same pool as the Owls, the Huskies went 2-1 to place second. In the playoffs, OKM beat D.P. Todd (No. 8 in AA) , then defeated Delta (AAA) to make it to the semis. The Huskies met their match in the seminal losing to Steveston-London, a team they had beaten
earlier in the tournament. It was the best-ever result at the TRU tournament for OKM. “The team is steadily improving, we are beating teams that have beaten us earlier in the season,” said Huskies coach Paul Thiessen. “Victories over four ranked teams do not come easily in our tournaments. Our stamina is improving which is allowing us to go deeper into these events.” The Mount Boucherie Bears, who went 3-0T in pool play, lost in the quarterfinals on went on to finish fifth. This weekend, George Elliot will host the Coyotes Classic, featuring the top AA teams in the prov-H ince. w a w

CONTRIBUTED
THE Kelowna midget tier 2 Rockets celebrate the title at their home tournament over the weekend at Rutland Arena.
The Kelowna tier 2 midget Rockets won all five games to claim the championship trophy at their home last weekend. The hosts opened up with a 8-0 drubbing of the Langley Eagles, as Nick Robbins claimed MVP honours scoring a hat trick. Goalie Gio Sambrielaz earned the shutout. The Rockets followed up with a tight 3-2 win over the North Vancouver Midget Storm. Affiliated Player Eric Noh contributed a key goal in a strong effort and was named game MVP. In the final round robin game, Rock-
ets MVP Murray Gaffney scored the winner to help erase a two-goal deficit as Kelowna skated to a 4-2 win over the Prince George Cougars. That set up the semi-final match with their cross-lake rivals the West Kelowna Warriors, with the Rockets prevailing by a 4-1 tally. The championship game went down to the wire against Smithers until Grant Dollevoet banged in a loose puck with just 1:35 left in the third period as the Rockets eked out a 1-0 victory. The tier 2 midgets have now won two cups in a
row after a first-place finish in a tournament last weekend in Jasper. Team members are: Jordan Reynolds, Jackson Fulton, Drayton Martin, Brandon Palik, Ryan Pereverzoff, Nicolas Robbins, Colton Horne, Grant Dollevoet, Jack Gilchrist, Giovanni Sambrielaz, Joel Scrimbit, Landon Horne, Josh Gaal, Brett Witala, Murray Gaffney, Stephen Hawes, Spencer Copan, Nate Higgins, Parker Armstrong. The head coach is Brent Gilchrist and assistants are Gavin Mulcahy and Andrew Malashewsky.
Heat b’ball season opens

Both UBC Okanagan -Heat basketball squads will tip off the new Canada West season this weekend at home. Friday night at the UBCO gym, the University of Alberta will visit, with the women at 6 p.m. -and the men at 8 p.m. On Saturday night, the -Saskatchewan Huskies ewill be in town. m Both UBCO teams eare looking to improve on slast season, their second in Canada West competition. - Heather Semeniuk’s women’s squad went 6-16, while the men post-ed a 4-18 mark. y The women closed out the exhibition schedeule last weekend, defeat-
ing host Trinity Western Spartans 73-66, finishing the preseason at 1-5. “I was really pleased with the progression with the team in our exhibition games this fall,” head coach Heather Semeniuk noted when after Saturday’s win. “The team got better each time on the floor, from the game in September versus UBC through our win Saturday over Trinity.” Meanwhile, a banged up UBCO men’s team wrapped up its preseason last weekend with two games against American opponents at the Tournament Capital Centre in Kamloops. On Friday, Ever-
green State upended the Heat 92-87. On Saturday, Northwest University downed the Heat 68-56. Heat head coach Pete Guarasci was pleased with his team’s fight, especially in lieu of its injury situation. “We had some good stretches in both games where we played with the required amount of concentration and effort to compete with our opponents,” Guarasci said. “Unfortunately, we did not sustain those stretches for long enough to win a basketball game. “We hope to regroup and refocus for our upcoming week of preparation for two very strong CIS basketball teams.”
Bears battle Voodoos Friday With playoff spots hanging in the balance, all three Central Okanagan teams take to the Apple Bowl Friday to wrap up the B.C. high school football regular season. At 4 p.m., the KSS Owls (1-5) will battle the Terry Fox Ravens (4-1) At 6:30 p.m., rivals Mt. Boucherie Bears (1-5) and Rutland Voodoos (06) square off for their lone meeting this season.
“It should be a great game,” said Voodoos coach Pete McCall. “Mike Godwin has dialed his Bears into a tremendous football program over the years. They are always well coached, savvy and disciplined. I think both teams are looking forward to this interior classic matchup which has playoff implications.” Last Friday, the Voodoos put up a fight be-
fore going down to defeat 44-28 to Centennial. Rutland’s Mitchel Walz scored twice on QB dives from one yard out, Tony Nyugen had 26 carries for 134 yards and a touchdown, while Matt Walz had 95 yards receiving and a TD. Cory McCoy made five solo tackles and a sack on defense. Others: W.J. Mouat beat KSS 48-6; Bears lost 33-0 to St. Thomas More.

DANIELLE CELINE BRETON (NELDER/WYATT) 1941-2013
Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much
Born on December 31, 1941 in St. Michelle de Bellechasse Quebec. Loving mother of Caroline (Neil), Christina and Marc and Grandmaman of Abby, Kiera and Lauren. She is survived by her siblings Vivienne, Nicole and Regean and so many wonderful friends. Danielle moved to Burnaby in 1967 with her young family, eventually transplanting later in life to Kelowna where she completed a Home Support Resident Care Certificate in June of 1999 from Okanagan Community College. After several fulfilling years caring for seniors, she retired to a life of gardening, tennis, golf, bridge and travel. Our mother’s enthusiasm and caring spirit were contagious and led to her large collection of friends - she could never have too many friends. Her love of travel and languages brought great joy to her. She had just returned from a trip to Italy and was preparing for a Panama cruise next month, before her sudden death on October 26. Thanks to her special friend Renata Simonelli and long time friends Dave, Thelma and Denise Bruce for being our supportive family as we have dealt with our great loss. We love you so much Mom and cannot imagine our lives will be as full without you. We cherish the great memories and the wonderful laughs we shared - thank you. Celebration of life will be held Saturday November 2, 1pm, at the Sonoma Pines Clubhouse, 3999 Sonoma Pines Dr., Westbank BC. In lieu of flowers donations to the Westside Community Food Bank gratefully accepted.

▼ HALLOWEEN
Too much candy for kids can bring scary consequences Rose Soneff CONTRIBUTOR
Halloween is here and little ghosts and goblins are wandering the streets in search of Halloween candy. If your children generally eat well all year long, then enjoying Halloween sweets is not a big deal. The key of course is moderation and making sure there is more to Halloween than just the candy. Try these ideas to help make Halloween a little healthier. Serve a healthy meal On Halloween night serve a healthy meal before the kids head out to
Rose Soneff go trick-or-treating. If kids feel full before they go trick-or-treating, they will be less tempted to eat candy along the way and will eat fewer pieces of candy afterwards when they return home. Hand out nonsugary treats
COSAR watching out for trick-or-treaters For Halloween tonight, members of Central Okanagan Search and Rescue will be driving around the Rutland area working with the RCMP to watch out for the little trick-or-treaters as they go from house to house gathering candy. COSAR members will be driving their emergency response trucks, which are clearly marked with their search and rescue brand. If parents or their kids run into any issues, don’t hesitate to flag down one of the vehicles and the COSAR volunteers will provide assistance. And don’t be surprised if COSAR volunteers stop and get out of their vehicles to hand out candy to the best costumes they see. As well, on Friday, Nov. 1, COSAR will be taking part in the annual open house at Banner Recreation and Marine in Kelowna with a fundraising barbecue to raise money for training and equipment. Search and rescue volunteers will be manning the grill from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is the fourth year that Banner has participated.
Stand out from the crowd and give out something other than candy. Fun alternatives to treats include Halloween styled pens, pencils and stickers. If you do give out sweets, avoid the sticky gooey ones—try small plain chocolate bars or sugarless gums which are less likely to promote cavities. Encourage exercise while trick or treating Make trick-or-treating
an active family affair. Walk from house to house instead of driving. Wear pedometers to see how far you go. End the evening with active play End the trick-or-treating part of the evening early and return home to play some spooktacular active games and healthy snacks. Manage the candy One of the biggest challenges for kids and parents is managing all
of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen
that Halloween candy. Ellyn Satter is a wellknown specialist on feeding children. She offers advice to help children learn to manage sweets and to keep sweets in proportion to the other food they will eat. On Halloween night, when your children come home from trick-or-treating, let them lay out their candy, be really excited about it, sort it, and eat as much of it as they want,
whenever they want. Let them do the same the next day. On the third day, have them put the candy away (out of sight) and tell them Halloween is over and the candy is a treat. Explain that they can eat the candy at regular meal and snack times—a couple of small pieces for dessert or snacks. Serve milk with a candy snack to boost nutrition. When the candy is gone, return to healthi-
er snacks. To find more healthy Halloween ideas, check out Healthy Families BC for some great activities at www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/ blog/healthy-halloween or snack ideas at www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/blog/halloween-party-food. Have a spooky, fun and healthy Halloween! Rose Soneff is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

Boxing drills help women to lose weight, get in shape This week’s column is dedicated to a very dear friend. Karl Sauter, along with his family, owned and operated HICA Greenhouses on KLO Road for many years. Every spring I visited Karl and Hildegard to go over my selection of perennials for the season. I always walked away with lots of geraniums, which HICA was famous for. I have missed visiting them since he business closed. Personal condolences to Hildegard, the entire family and Karl’s many friends.

Well-known appliance associate at The Bay, Kam Mann is relocating to The Bay store in Vernon. Have you ever wondered why you resonate with some people but not others? Or why some environments or some people drain your energy? Why is it that many relationships never work out? Kelowna author and college professor explains how understanding your own energy affects your relationships and your health. Ekahi (Ee-kaw-hee) means One in Hawaiian. While living there, Dr. Brett Wade became aware that our health and relationships were related to one’s own energy (base frequency). He developed a frequency profile which classified people into one of five base frequencies. Learn about this in his book Ekahi Method: Master of the Waves of Life. People who have read it or have seen Wade’s presentations are raving about it. The book is available at Mosaic Books on Bernard Avenue and also the Okanagan College Book Store.

West Kelowna residents will have a chance to voice their comments and concerns regarding several proposed zoning bylaw changes, which, in one way or another, will likely affect them. Tuesday morning, council gave first and second reading to Official Community Plan amend-
ments and second reading to a zoning bylaw that includes several changes. Coun. Rick de Jong described the draft bylaw as “a radical overhaul” to the district’s existing zoning bylaw, which was inherited from the Regional District of the Central Okanagan and last substantially reviewed in 2000. Zoning bylaws enable municipalities to regulate land use and implement the
objectives of Official Community Plans. “Every single property in the district is affected, in one way or another, through this process,” said Coun. Duane Ophus. Council debated several changes found in the 173page draft zoning bylaw, including the minimum parcel size in the agricultural zone. On Oct. 8, during first reading, council narrowly voted to make the min-
imum parcel size eight hectares for land within the Agricultural Land Reserve in the A1 zone. Coun. Gord Milsom challenged that decision Tuesday, suggesting the minimum parcel size should be four hectares. “I’m thinking of the young individuals who want to get into the farming business,” said Milsom. “Perhaps they can only afford a four-hectare prop-

erty—this pretty well eliminates their entry into this industry.” According to a report submitted by senior planner Dallas Clowes, there are currently only 19 parcels within the ALR, in the A1 zone, larger than eight hectares. De Jong argued there are plenty of four-hectare parcels left for young farm-

District gets first look at Recreation Trails Master Plan
Wade Paterson
STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna council got its first peek at a plan that will aim to improve the district’s trail network and increase connectivity Tuesday. The Recreation Trails Master Plan was initiated
in spring 2012 and focuses on nine goals, which include establishing a trail system as a destination, providing readily accessible information about the trails to support way-finding and improving the quality and consistency of trail maintenance. “The plan looked at
major multi-use trails, which is similar to what we have in Gellatly Bay, narrow multi-use trails, where you have the ability to bike and walk, but they’re not quite as elaborate as what we have at Gellatly Bay, and also nature trails, like what we have around Mount Bou-

what can be found on a ski hill—with green circle, blue square and black diamond rated trails. “I’m excited with the whole plan,” said Coun. David Knowles. “I find it really invigorating, really exciting to see this laid out in chunks that we can digest.” Coun. Duane Ophus noted the plan is “a very high priority for many people in the community.” “Its really good to get down to the level of looking at the district metre by metre…because it’s the road map of how to proceed with so much of

The plan identifies eight connections as short-term priorities—to be completed in the next one to 10 years—and seven medium-term priorities, to be completed in the next 11 to 20 years. An annual budget of $100,000 is proposed for construction and improvements of trails on public land, and to work with land owners to construct trails on private lands, over the next 20 years.

Larger farm land parcels need protection Zoning Bylaw A1 ers hoping to get into the industry. “The problem is, for larger viable farms, there are not a lot of larger parcels left,” said de Jong. “Those parcels are going to be gone if we don’t protect them now.” Despite de Jong’s concerns, council reversed its decision Tuesday and opted to make the minimum parcel size four hectares in a 4-3 decision. According to Mayor Doug Findlater, a “sleeper” issue may be the change in minimum parcel size in the single detached residential zone (R1) from 700-squaremetres to 550. “If you have a lot of 1,100-square-metres, provided it meets all the other requirements, you could
subdivide it quietly— just bring in a surveyor, register it with the district and build another house,” said Findlater. He said the change will likely allow several properties in Lakeview Heights and Glenrosa to subdivide. “You could see a fairly big increase in density. Upside: More housing, more tax base, the homeowner who can do that will benefit—it’s increased the value of their property. “Downside: Greater density in the neighbourhood without a lot of discussion, except through this bylaw.” Findlater said he is concerned residents won’t realize the bylaw will affect them until it’s too late. “Some people hear zoning bylaw and their
eyes glaze over. (But) it applies to everyone— that’s the concern about this kind of very large, overarching bylaw.” De Jong added residents in Westbank and Boucherie Centres should pay special attention to the proposed zoning changes. Under the draft zoning bylaw, Westbank Centre would be rezoned to compact residential (RC1) to permit single detached houses, secondary suites, duplexes and townhouses. The recommendation stems from the West-
bank Centre Revitalization Plan, to enable opportunities for infill development and more affordable housing. Boucherie Centre would become compact residential (RC2). “We’ve got individuals who are going to be subject to a rezoning of their property from R1 to RC1,” said de Jong. “They’re the ones who are going to be impacted the most.” The district plans to do a mass mail out, informing citizens of an up-
coming public hearing to discuss the draft zoning bylaw. The public hearing will be held Nov. 26 at 6 p.m., either in council chambers (2760 Cameron Road) or a nearby venue, depending on attendance. “The message is: There are major changes—show up and be heard,” said Ophus.
