Long-time councillor ready to retire

Unless he has a major change of heart, the longest serving member of Kelowna city council will not seek re-election next year. Robert Hobson says he is “heavily” leaning towards not running in 2014, after 26 years on council—20 of them combined with serving as the chairman of the Central Okanagan Regional District board. “It will be tough, but I think it’s time,” said Hobson, who will be 65 when the next municipal election rolls around in November 2014. Hobson said he expects to have finalized his decision before next summer, but at this point he can’t see anything changing his mind. IT WILL BE TOUGH Hobson said he BUT I THINK IT’S strongly considered not running for re-election in TIME. 2011—a move he said Robert Hobson, his wife urged him to Kelowna city make—but he felt there councillor were problems that needed to be addressed at the regional district, so he came back for another term. But now those organizational issues have been addressed and a new chief administrative officer has been hired for CORD. Hobson said there were issues concerning regional parks which have also been addressed. Hobson, whose wife and family members live in Edmonton and who became a grandfather six weeks ago, commutes to the northern Alberta city on weekends. He said he has been doing that for nearly five years and the travel schedule is taking its toll. He said he is currently subdividing his property in the lower Mission area of the city. During his years on council, Hobson, a planner by profession, has been viewed as a pragmatic, moderate voice of reason, often concerned with heritage, planning and social issues. See Retire A6

SUGAR PLUM FAIR…Good old Santa, in the person of Tom Kliner, shares a little joke with
Desiree Bortolussi, a dancer with Ballet Kelowna, at Quails’ Gate Estate Winery as they prepare for the annual Sugar Plum Fair on Sunday, Nov. 17, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the West Kelowna winery, 3303 Boucherie Rd. It’s a fundraising event where you can donate to local food banks, and check out a variety of arts and crafts for sale. It’s geared to the whole family with 15 per cent off wine shop purchases, and an appearance by Santa at Allison House where photos will be available by donation with proceeds going to organizations such as Ballet Kelowna.
A former Peachland reporter who worked for the Peachland View newspaper and more recently ran an online news site for the small Okanagan enclave, has been charged with three counts of child pornography. David Andrew Preston will be back in a Kelowna courtroom on Dec. 5 to face charges of possessing, making and importing child pornography. Preston was apparently one of three individuals identified in separate, targeted investigations into the exploitation of children in the area by the RCMP’s E division in June. Sgt. Mat Van Laer, with the BC Integrated Child Exploitation team, is quoted as stating the investigation into one individual expanded because there were children living with the individual. “We continue to use various tools in our disposal to track down these online predators,” said Van Laer. “We aim to hunt those who would prey on children by using every po-

Australia region partners with TOTA The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association has signed a landmark information-sharing agreement with a tourism group in Australia. The agreement is being billed as the first international region-to-region tourism partnership. TOTA board chair Michael Ballingall and president and CEO Glenn Mandziuk signed the memorandum of understanding with the Southern Queensland Country Tourism, represented by CEO Mary-Clare Power, at TOTA’s annual general meeting held Monday at Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon. The three officials noted the similarities of the Thompson Okanagan and Southern Queensland regions—both are inland, are roughly the same size, are close to major metropolitan centres (Vancouver and Brisbane), and have wine tourism, regional culinary flavours, and natural attractions. And TOTA and SQCT play similar roles in the management, development and promotion of their tourism destinations. Mandziuk called the agreement an exciting commitment by the two organizations to exchange information about best practices in tourism development and promotion, and to look for opportunities to work together for the benefit of the tourism industry in both regions. The agreement doesn’t have a fixed duration, but will be reviewed every two years. Mandziuk added that Thompson Rivers University and Okanagan College are already exploring initiatives with counterparts in Southern Queensland. Power said she thinks TOTA is doing excellent work on a number of fronts in regional tourism, and she looks forward to

the benefits that TOTA and SQCT will both gain through this new partnership.
TOTA DEVELOPMENTS
TOTA CEO and president Glenn Mandziuk says TOTA will partner with Okanagan Visitor Publications (OVP) to produce the 2014 Thompson Okanagan Travel Experiences Guide. The agreement will see improvements to the guide, including a hardcover edition placed in the 20,000 hotel rooms in the region and the development of different versions for traveller audiences outside and inside the region. Cynthia Denyar, of OVP, said the revamped guide will be more user-friendly, and new strategies will be used to offer tourism operators in the region more efficient and effective ways to advertise their destinations to potential visitors. The guide will be published next spring. ••• Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster told the TOTA annual general meeting that international visits to B.C. were up eight per cent this sum-

mer. Foster added the Thompson Okanagan region “is one of the jewels of tourism in the world” and is “a pivotal piece” in B.C.’s tourism offering. ••• Gordon Fitzpatrick, owner of CedarCreek Estate Winery and a board member of the province’s new Destination BC tourism development and marketing Crown corporation, noted that three industry representatives from the Thompson Okanagan have been named to Destination BC’s important tourism marketing committee. The committee members are Glenn Mandziuk (TOTA); Ingrid Jarrett (Watermark Beach Resort, Osoyoos); and Saeedeh Salem (Enotecca Wineries). •••
TOTA board chair Michael J. Ballingall says 2013 was a successful year for the tourism promotion organization. In the past year, TOTA began implementing the exciting new 10-year regional tourism strategy: Incorporated leading-edge Explorer Quotient research-based marketing techniques in its promotion of tourism; helped launch a bold new Similkameen Valley tourism brand; launched the Okanagan Bucket List travel promotion sponsored by four major destinations in the region; and it helped to attract major new airline access to the region. ••• TOTA has elected seven new members to the association’s board of directors for two-year terms. Elected to the board are Michael J. Ballingall, senior vice-president of sales and marketing at Big White Ski Resort; Ingrid Jarrett, general manager of Watermark Beach Resort in Osoyoos; Sally Pierce, assistant general manager of the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton; Gene Covert, co-owner of Covert Farms and Covert Farms Family
Estate Winery; Russell Critchlow, owner of River Safari in Blue River; Brad Pelletier, vice-president of Okanagan Region for Wesbild Holdings, parent company of Predator Ridge Resort in Vernon; and Kelly Watt, general manager of Sandman Hotel & Suites in Kelowna. They join continuing board members Chris Bower, director of operations at NK’MIP Resort Association in Osoyoos; Christine Latimer, general manager of the Best Western Valemount Inn & Suites; Jim Fraser, president of Fraser James Company in Kelowna; Robyn Cyr, manager of Shuswap Tourism in Salmon Arm; George Hanson, owner of Seven Stones Winery in Cawston; Hans-Peter Mayr, CEO of Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon; and Bryan Pilbeam, vice-president and general manager of Hotel 540 in Kamloops. The board’s 201314 executive consists of chair Michael Ballingall; vice-chair George Hanson; treasurer Christine Latimer and secretary Sally Pierce.
Water board holds the line on taxes Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Unlike some taxing authorities, the Okanagan Basin Water Board has not increased its budget over last year, so taxpayers will not see any increase on their annual tax bills next year—for that function. There was discussion of eventually including grants to municipalities for storm water treatment, in addition to the sewage facility grants currently provided, with director Tom Siddon from the South Okanagan asking if the board had the will to expand the benefits of that program, perhaps to include grants for tertiary treatment of sewage or other alternatives as well. West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater said he would have a problem with the OBWB going for more taxpayer dollars. On the other hand, he favoured letting the public know what a responsible organization the OBWB is, in not budgeting for increased expenditures in the coming year. The $3.4-million budget would cost property-owners about 5.8 cents per $1,000 of as-
sessment in total, with 2.9 cents of that going to the sewage facilities grant program. The water milfoil control program costs about one cent per $1,000 in assessment, the same as last year, including a $40,000 addition to the equipment reserve, in case one of the milfoil rototilling or harvesting machines needs to be replaced in future. For the OBWB’s water management function, the requisition is 1.7 cents per $1,000, down from the previous year, and well under the two cents permitted for the program. Matching grants from other government agencies help keep costs down, noted executive-director Anna Warwick Sears in reporting to the board at its regular monthly meeting. Projects for the coming year include expansion of public education for water conservation and about invasive zebra mussels; building on water monitoring programs and other projects. The OBWB also contributes a portion of the cost for a Water Research Chair at UBC Okanagan. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
Local couple awarded for helping fight crime A Kelowna couple were among 22 British Columbians, groups and programs recognized for their exemplary leadership in community safety and crime prevention this week. At a ceremony held in Burnaby this week, Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton made the award presentation to Dustin and Gina Kearns. “The Crime Prevention Awards recognize British Columbians, from all walks of life, whose efforts keep all of us safer—in our neighbourhoods, at school, on the street, and at work,” Anton said. The Kearns earlier this year received Detachment Commander’s Commendation for Outstanding Service, which acknowledged their contribution of over 700 volunteer hours to Kelowna RCMP relating to the recovery of stolen vehicles. From 2009-13, the husband-andwife team identified and located a total of 27 stolen vehicles in the City of Kelowna.

If you thought you’d heard every conceivable application of the term “green” to highlight an environmentally friendly product or process, think again—green pavement has arrived.
WITH A
C O M P L I M E N TA R Y C O N S U L TA T I O N
The revolutionary vehicle surface that does the same job as pavement, but in a way that’s kind to the earth, recently debuted in the form of a grass-covered laneway at one of Kelowna’s newest residential developments. “In order to build with the best sustainable practices available, we maximized the green space,” said Renee Wasylyk, whose company Troika Group is developing the 56-unit, Green Square townhome community in the heart of the city’s Lower Mission neighbourhood, at 3626 Mission Spring Dr. “By replacing the asphalt or concrete traditionally used on a laneway surface with grass, we’re increasing green space, encouraging more pedestrian traffic and creating a design esthetic that integrates seamlessly with the natural environment.” The laneway is covered in turf pavers that form an interlocking grid of honeycomb-shaped
cells through which grass grows. Not only does green pavement look good, the pavers are made of 100 per cent recycled plastic, are less expensive to maintain over time than traditional hard surfaces, and provide a host of environmental benefits. “Because we’re creating a permeable surface, water can drain right through the grass. That meant we were able to forgo building catch basins and storm sewers on the property which, along with the use of the green pavement technology itself, was a first for Kelowna,” said Troika Group’s Daniel MacKinnon. “Due to the hard asphalt and concrete surfaces they add to a site, developments typically build a system of catch basins and pipes to collect and distribute rainwater or other runoff,” explained Troika Group development project manager Rich Threlfall, who first conceived the idea of try-

to be naturally filtered by soil and grass, before traveling into the ground just as it did before the development was here.” The approach also reduces the risk of runoff, flooding, and erosion to downstream bodies of water, as well as minimizing the possibility of the so-called heat island effect, which can occur when traditional pavement overheats in urban environments. “We worked closely and collaboratively with our civil engineers, CTQ Consultants Ltd. and city staff to utilize sustainable and innovative solutions that resulted in a great community for the homeowners,” said Threlfall. “That I was able to put forward a unique idea that solves multiple development challenges, and see it come to fruition and do the job it was designed to do, rather than following the status quo, is really rewarding.” The first phase of the development is complete and fully occupied, with construction of phase two set to wrap up in June of 2014.

Hobson: ‘It’s time for…new people to step up’ Retire from A1 At times he has been viewed as the polar opposite of another longtime city councillor, local businessman Andre Blanleil, a city council member for 20 years. The owner of a large and successful chain of electronics stores, Blanleil is often seen as rightwing and a voice of the business community on
council. But Blanleil has said that characterization is not always correct. In fact, he likes to point out how often he and Hobson agree on issues. “Over the years, I think Andre and I have moved (politically) and met in the middle,” Hobson told the Capital News. “It’s now like we both know where each other is coming from.” Blanleil could not be
reached for a comment on his political future but there is speculation he may not run again either in 2014. Coun. Mohini Singh, who is currently serving her first term on council and who said she wants to run again, said losing Hobson and possibly Blanleil would be big losses for council and the city. She said while she

does not always agree with Blanleil, he has a wealth of experience and has been a very good councillor over the years. She said replacing the knowledge and experience Hobson brings to the council table will be impossible. “I would hate to see either them go,” said Singh. She said before she makes up her mind to run again for a council seat, she wants to make sure her family and her employer, the Ministry of Agriculture, support such a move. For Hobson, it’s time to move on. He said even if he changes his mind and decides to run again in 2014 (as he did in 2011), he would not seek the CORD board chairmanship again. “I think it’s time for some new people to step up,” he said. Hobson said leaving council will be difficult and while he has enjoyed all the councils he has served on, the current one is made up of nine individuals who he feels work very well together. During the last 2 1/2 decades, Hobson has served under three mayors—Jim Stuart, Walter Gray (twice) and Sharon Shepherd. Often considered a possible mayoral con-
tender himself but never running for the job, Hobson said he was happy to serve as a councillor and chairman of the regional district. He prided himself on not using election signs and his reputation and the work he did as a councillor always was enough to make him one of the most popular candidates when the votes were tallied. For 14 years he served on the executive of the Union of B.C. Municipalities and is a past president of the organization that represents the 153 municipalities across this province. He has also sat on many provincial boards including the Municipal Finance Authority and the B.C. Buildings board. He is currently a director of the Municipal Pensions board and said he will continue in that role after the next election as his term does not expire until 2015. Meanwhile, speculation is growing about the political future of Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray . Gray said Wednesday it was premature for him to make an announcement about next year’s election but said out of respect for others thinking about running for the job, he would decide by the spring. He said he plans to talk individually to each

At least one city councillor said he would consider a run for mayor if Gray does not seek re-election. Luke Stack said while he has not made a firm decision to run, he would only consider doing so if Gray was not in the race. If Gray does run again, Stack said he would likely seek re-election as a councillor. Another councillor who could consider a mayoral bid is Colin Basran. Basran would not comment on any plans for such a run, saying until Gray make his intentions known it would not be

Rockets, barbershop take on campaign The Kelowna Rockets hockey club has partnered with Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop in the month-long Movember prostate cancer fundraising and awareness campaign. The initiative was launched at Wednesday night’s home game between Kelowna and Red Deer. The WHL team’s players and coaches will be growing moustaches for the month of Movember and are encour-
aging fans to do the same, to shine the spotlight on men’s health issues, including prostate cancer. Fans are encouraged to donate to Movember through the Tommy Gun’s Kelowna team page (http://ca.movember. com/team/1167553) or in store. “We’re excited to have a local partner like Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop to help spread the news and join us for our annual tradition of Movember,” said
Rockets’ director of marketing Anne-Marie Hamilton. “We encourage our fans to support Movember by donating through Tommy Gun’s Movember web site.” Updated Rockets player pictures will be posted on the Tommy Gun’s Movember link and Facebook page throughout the month of November as players and coaches grow their moustaches in support of issues like men’s mental health and prostate cancer.
“Partnering with Movember has been an incredible initiative for us,” said Doreen Belliveau, manager of communications and public relations for Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop. “In addition to providing support to this worthy cause, in just the few short days the 2013 campaign

leading automobile dealer located in Kelowna is over stocked with used car inventory and will be SLASHING used car and truck prices to an all time low Saturday, November 9, 2013. Rain, Snow or Shine. Dan Connaughton, General Manager for Kelowna Chrysler Dodge lhas just announced plans to hold a used car and truck event with -used cars and trucks being SLASHED down thousands of dollars. Due to the current market conditions, we have an extra amount of used cars, trucks and lease returns. Now we need to reduce the number of vehicles in our used car inventory. During this SLASHER sale every used car and truck will be sold for hundreds to thousands below the original price.” Connaughton said, “Our customers should find these prices as low as auction prices in many cases.” Here, every used car and truck is on sale! FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE AND NO BIDDING. It’s the perfect opportunity to get a good quality used car at the lowest price possible, including some being SLASHED down to one dollar. All cars and trucks will be on display at 2440 Enterprise Way, Kelowna at 8:30 AM on Saturday, November 9, 2013. All vehicles will be opened so that buyers may inspect the vehicles for one hour before the SLASHER

Whoever is sitting behind the wheel at 10:00 AM when the prices are SLASHED on the windshield will be given first opportunity to purchase the vehicle at the SLASHED sale price. This innovative approach to selling used vehicles will make it easy and quick for anyone in the market looking for a good used car or truck at a very low price, with no hassle. There will be 3 separate visits from the SLASHER 10 AM, 3 PM and 5 PM. We figure using a local Kelowna boy for the SLASHER makes the odds of your deal better. We’ve got over 2 million dollars in used inventory to choose from. Our total inventory will be over 200 used cars and trucks. We want to remind everybody that this is a one-day sale only. When our inventory has been reduced, we will remove the sale prices and return to normal operations. Since we are a local business, we would like to give back to the community,” Connaughton said, We would rather allow local people to buy these vehicles than wholesale them at an auction.” Any questions can be directed to (250) 763-6121. Kelowna Chrysler Dodge opens at 8:30 AM on Saturday, November 9, 2013, and the sale starts at 10:00 AM SHARP! Buyers must be 18 or older with valid driver’s license.

▼ OUR VIEW
A costly non-response
O
ne of the themes often heard at this time of year is gratitude towards veterans of past conflicts. Many people say, quite sincerely, that soldiers fought and many died to preserve our freedoms and our way of life. And it’s true — they did. Anyone who doubts that should take a close look at the plans that Adolf Hitler had, if Germany had won the Second World War. Yet as the Second World War grows distant, it seems more of the bureaucrats we have allowed
to oversee our lives forget about basic concepts such as fairness and making sensible decisions. Instead, they rely on ever-complicated rules, often created by other bureaucracies without any consultation, as an good excuse to do nothing. An excellent example of this is an incident involving Langley Township fire department, which has in the past 10 years grown to consume much more of the local municipal budget. Scores of firefighters have been hired to replace volunteers,
because of the growth of the community. A Langley township woman called 911 more th ago, because she had dropped a thermometer containing a very small amount of mercury. The fire department responded — and did nothing. Fire Chief Stephen Gamble says Worksafe BC rules won’t allow firefighters to clean up a tiny bit of mercury. Instead, they call a private firm in such situations— which billed the woman close to
$2,000. After negotiation with the fire department, the bill was reduced to $850. That’s ridiculous. The questions raised by this non-response are this—why would anyone call 911 in a nonlife threatening situation, if this is the end result? Why did the fire department not advise the woman to do what the ministry of environment suggests—clean it up herself and place the mercury in a sealed container? —Langley Times

Foreigners not expected to make ‘huge dent’ in work force

here was a lot of buzz last month when the B.C. Construction Association announced they were returning to Ireland to hire 600 people—mostly tradespersons qualified to work in the construction industry as carpenters and framing carpenters. What created the buzz around this issue is that many disagree with this recruitment drive. Unions in particular, say there are enough Canadians to fill these positions. From what I can gather there seems to be two issues at play here. The first is the anticipated shortage of construction workers, which is based on statistics reported out by the
provincial government. According to the government they expect roughly 150,000 construction job vacancies between now and 2023. This shortage was supported by the BC Construction Association in their annual assessment of 30,500 jobs that were not filled in 2012. The other issue is not as simple and is related to unemployed construction workers in the province and in the rest of Canada. In some cases, there has been a reluctance among employers to hire apprentices. This in particular has been
SCHOOL’S a long-standing issue in IN B.C. where some em-

Reform is needed in Canada’s Senate To the editor: In the last few weeks we’ve heard a lot of negative news regarding things going on at the Senate in Ottawa. And because of this many are suggesting that the Senate should be abolished. I think that would be a mistake. But I do think it should be reformed, and I don’t mean elected. As long as they are under the control and dictates by the party leaders in the House of Commons, very little if any thing would change if they were elected.
The reform I’m suggesting is to make the Senate totally independent from the House. In other words the party leaders not be able to control or dictate the members in the Senate in any way. One way to do this is to have an all-party committee approve each applicant for the Senate. If this was done I believe the Senate in view would contribute for the benefit of all Canadians in a positive way. Orest Swintak, Kelowna
To the editor: Yes, the Senate should be reformed—to bring it back to its original purpose which was to represent the provinces directly in the parliamentary system. Instead it has become a patronage vehicle and tool of the party system. Organization by party in the Senate should be banned and appointments made on the recommendation of the respective provinces, of men and women on their merits much as the appointments of Supreme Court justices are made. The other body which should be reformed is the Prime Minister’s Office—the PMO. Pierre Trudeau began
the process of concentrating power there and each successive PM has carried it further, so that now the cabinet and ministers have become virtually powerless except by direction from the PMO and the many unelected staff people that inhabit it. The one exception could be Finance Minister Flaherty who is still running his department and speaking for himself without interference. Steven Harper covets the power (and the glory) of the U.S. president and has weakened our democratic system because of it. K. Campbell, Kelowna
Politicians mere propagandists for their party To the editor: Kudos to Darrin Fiddler’s letter to the editor in the Capital News, Oct. 25. (Government Protects the Big Corporations.) What are our politicians doing for the people that elected them? It is quite obvious that two problems that need correction are the unequal distribution of wealth and the ridiculous expense of a Senate. Prior to our last provincial election I submitted a paper to our provincial and federal representatives. The intent of this paper was to identify problems in a constructive way. The papers were received with a promise to respond but both Mr. (Ben) Stewart (then-MLA Westside-Kelowna) and Mr. (Dan) Albas (MP Okanagan-Coquihalla) completely ignored my concerns. Rather than tending to the basic needs of
those who pay their salary I see them handing out medals, supporting charitable functions, cutting ribbons and spreading political propaganda. Charities are only Band-Aid treatment and nothing is being done to change the cause. We need to raise the minimum-wage to a livable wage. We need to eliminate the excessive salaries of the greedy. Can we say we are proud to accept a government that allows the gap between the rich and the poor to widen every year, a government that is giving our land away and exploiting Third World undemocratic countries? We need to put a stop to monopolies, especially in commodities that are essential. Gasoline, heating fuel, electricity should not be controlled by corporations. These commodities should be controlled by non-profit organizations.
We need controls to stop the chains and large corporations being allowed to limit full time employment by hiring large numbers of part-time workers. Have we ever given much thought to the importance of the menial task occupations? Where would business be if it were not for those that load the shelves, deliver the goods, and clean up the dirt and many other low skilled but necessary jobs? Unfair tax-exemptions, and exploiting cheap underpaid workers and monopolies create an unfair field for Canadian manufacturers. It is time to demand our politicians address our needs and stop acting like puppets to support their party politics. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Art Ferguson, West Kelowna
Off-roaders next to be hit by gov’t regulation To the editor: Defend your last motorized freedom— the off-road vehicle. B.C. cultural identity is partially defined by freedom to roam the land. Do you want less freedom? The Coalition for Licensing and Regulation of Off-Road Vehicles in BC (established 2003) has proposed government restrict and clamp down on motorcycles, ATVs, ATC, side-by-sides and other machines used in the bush. Some highlights are: you must hold a valid B.C. driver’s licence, carry liability insurance
to operate on Crown land trails and forest roads, registration for all machines including a decal or license plate for identification, restrict where and how you use your ATV, enforce new laws in the bush, plus much more. The leads on this proposal are the Cattlemen’s Assn. and Grassland Preservation Society—both would like nothing better than to stop off-road vehicles everywhere. Other supporters are along for the ride in hopes of finding compromise. What I read is a popular recreation activity tar-
geted for more taxes, fees and restrictions, attacking the middle class which will end up costing every taxpayer more. Right now the cost to have fun in the bush is only the investment of the machine and some common sense with optional insurance, this is why popularity has grown to more that 200,000+ offroad vehicles in B.C. (actual number unknown). If allowed, you will be forced to pay more and ride less, another freedom stomped down by special interests. At a time of economic

persons are very competitive and attractive to young people. Although some workers from Ireland may end up in Canada, not all will stay and I doubt they will make a huge dent in the worker shortage. Opportunities to enter this industry will be var9 ied and I suspect many
options will be available to those who want a well-paying job with good job security. Right now it only takes six months to get your level 1 technical training credit and 450 hours towards your carpentry apprenticeship. Anyone interested in the construction field could begin their training in February as Okanagan College is of-
fering its Residential Construction program in Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and Salmon Arm. This means if you take this program you will be ready to work by the end of July—on the way to a career with very good long-term prospects. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca
recovery why suck more disposable income out of our economy? Remember the HST, gun registry how about boating—it cost us plenty for what.

Water board offers suggestions about proposed water act Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
As a key body in water management in the Okanagan, the valley’s water
board would like the chance to have a look at the actual Water Sustainability Act before it heads to the politicians for approval.
That’s one of a number of recommendations the Okanagan Basin Water Board will forward to the provincial government on the update of its
Glenmore Valley Community Association Annual General Meeting
century-old water legislation, along with some detailed suggestions for inclusion in it. Water stewardship director for the OBWB, Nelson Jatel, told directors at Tuesday’s regular monthly meeting that a workshop of members of the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council, a tech-
nical advisory body to the OBWB, came up with a series of recommendations about the proposed new legislation. Chief among them was the need for those who will be using it, to have a look at the actual legislation before it’s given first reading. Directors even asked
that chairman Stu Wells personally contact Environment Minister Mary Polak and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson with the request, while congratulating the province on going ahead with the modernization. The board will also recommend that the province dedicate adequate resources to the act, and suggest that fees be used to help recover those costs. Land use and water decisions need to be linked, since one has an inevitable impact on the other, and they recommended that surface and groundwater be considered the same resource, since they are one. Directors were con-

cerned that there was mention in the proposal of one specific industry, the oil and gas industry, and they felt no industry should be singled out in legislation. Director Don Dobson noted this is enabling legislation and what will be important is the regulations that are created to carry it out. Director Toby Pike questioned why the public has been asked to comment on the proposal instead of the actual legislation that’s being proposed. Staff were asked to prepare a letter with their points for their submission to the minister, before the Nov. 15 deadline for comments.

cant potential benefits for both teachers and students. “Educators today face many challenges every day in managing the dynamics of life in the classroom,” said UBCO Faculty of Education dean Lynn Bosetti. “Healthy and happy teachers create learning opportunities for students to flourish. The faculty of education is honoured to receive this gift which affords the opportunity to have a positive impact on the well-being of educators in Canada.” Based on components of the behavioural medicine program, Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR), SMART is designed specifically for educators to optimize their performance and increase well-being to make them more effective in the classroom. “Ensuring the well-being of an educator is the immediate effect of the program; the long-term effects are on students and ultimately society,” said Ulco Visser, president of the Colorado-based Impact Foundation and creator of SMART. Visser decided SMART required an exceptional post-secondary institution to increase the capacity of the program, in terms of infrastructure and research excellence. Visser said he was amazed at the innovative attitudes towards education expressed by UBC’s Faculty of Education.

▼ WFN PROJECT
Medical facility facing finance issues Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
CONTRIBUTED
KELOWNA firefighters made a donation recently of $2,500 to the Red Cross House
Campaign, joined in the photo by campaign chair Anna Hunt Brinkley and honorary chair Sharon Shepherd. The campaign fundraising goal is $3 million by Dec. 31 to help finance construction of Kelowna’s Red Cross House, which will provide expanded programs and services to assist people across B.C. and theYukon.
Decisions regarding who will finance Westbank First Nation’s proposed medical wellness facility are taking longer than first expected. In August, WFN Chief Robert Louie told the Capital News that ground would likely be broken on Canada’s first-of-its-kind private hospital at some point in October. On Tuesday, Louie said construction isn’t likely to begin until next spring. “Right now we’re entertaining several financing partners. We’re going through that list very systematically, looking at what is the best relationship—who is going to finance this,” said Louie. “(There are) a lot of complexities in that: Equity and debt financing—all those issues come to play.” Louie said he believes those decisions will be made over the winter months, with construction expected for early spring 2014 “at the latest.”
Louie was the keynote speaker at the third WFN Lands and Economic Development Conference, which was held at the Sensisyusten Community Centre Tuesday. The conference was attended by 180 delegates. He spoke about WFN’s contribution to the local economy and gave details about several projects, including the private medical facility. The proposed 100-bed, 200,000-square-foot private luxury hospital is expected to cost $125 million to build. It will focus on all medical services except emergency, obstetrics and psychiatric care. Target patients include foreign medical tourists, as well as Canadians who would otherwise leave the country to receive expedited private health care. Louie said the private hospital will be accompanied by a hotel and banquet centre. “We have an agreement on the table for 108 beds in the (hotel’s) first phase, with a 400-seat banquet
facility,” said Louie. “There are plans in the second phase to increase the hotel size by another 50 beds. It’s to be situated quite close, or adjacent, to the medical facility.” In August, Louie told Capital News he was confident Johns Hopkins Medicine International will be a part of the project. “I’m anticipating that the formalized agreement will take place, but it’s premature for me to say that it’s been definitely done. Everything looks strong for that to happen,” said Louie. Louie has also said he doesn’t expect the federal government will take issue with the proposed private health facility, noting “hundreds of thousands of dollars” have been spent on legal advice and analysis. The WFN chief anticipates 400 jobs will be created through the private hospital’s first phase, which could be co 2016. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

es such as the ones anticipated by the decision not to re-open the rail line between Kelowna and Vernon. “But this is a private business on a regional line that crosses three municipal boundaries,” said Gray. “The City of Kelowna’s control over matters is limited.” He added that, as the federally regulated process to abandon the Kelowna-Vernon section of the CN rail line nears its Dec. 2 deadline, his council remains hopeful a business proposal will be submitted to resume freight service. Late last week, the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters Association warned between 500 and 600 jobs could be lost as a result of the decision not to extend the re-opened rail line farther south than Vernon. The trade group warned a broad section of Kelowna’s industrial base could be impacted if the rail line here is abandoned and the loss to one company could result in further impacts on other companies that are part of its supply chain. A news release from the city Wednesday said Kelowna’s first choice is to see freight service continue. If that doesn’t happen

IT’S POSSIBLE SOME BUSINESSES COULD CLOSE, BUT TO ASSUME EVERY BUSINESS THAT HAS USED RAIL WILL CLOSE UNDERESTIMATES THE RESOURCEFULNESS OF OUR LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS. —Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray
by Dec. 2, the city’s focus will be to work with other local and senior governments to determine how to protect the rail corridor for future use, which could include rail and a multi-use path. “The reality is that if CN and Kelowna Pacific Rail couldn’t make money on this line, we don’t think it would be prudent to risk taxpayers’ money on something that is not a core city service,” said Gray. He praised the provincial government for providing the lead on framework for businesses wanting to build a business case for the rail operation, and to Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan for working to bring stakeholders together. The job-loss estimates proposed by various parties present what Gray called “worst-case scenario” numbers. Those numbers assume businesses from Kelowna to Vernon can’t find alternatives to ship and re-
ceive products. “We’ve met with local business representatives and we heard that trucks are a more expensive option, but it looks like businesses are adjusting to the change,” said Gray. “It’s possible some businesses could close, but to assume every business that has used rail will close underestimates the resourcefulness of our local entrepreneurs.” He added the city’s responsibility to taxpayers is to seek an affordable means to preserve the right-of-way’s ability to serve as a rail line in the future. Fulfilling that objective will depend on partnerships with local, provincial and federal governments. “If no business proponent comes forward, we will continue discussions with our government partners about protecting the corridor for public use from downtown to UBCO and Kelowna International Airport,” said Gray.

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Years later Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, is ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks. Twentyfive years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C and humans do not. That’s why sailors died of scurvy during long sea voyages, but the ship’s cat survived. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proved that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. So what has happened to these monumental findings? Bush, like Semmelweiss, has been ridiculed by cardiologists. One has to ask whether cardiologists, by ignoring his results, are condemning thousands of people to an early coronary heart attack. Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal, for several reasons.
I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking Lipitor. I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus is available at health food stores. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. If high doses cause diarrhea, the dose should be decreased. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. Most of today’s, cardiologists are impervious to persuasion. They continue to believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-andend-all to prevent heart attack. They’ve been brain-washed by millions of dollars worth of promotion by pharmaceutical companies. It reminds me of the saying that cautions “It’s not what you don’t know what gets you into trouble, it’s the things you know for sure that ain’t so!” It’s time for cardiologists to have an open mind and stop ignoring this research. As for me – I bet my life on it!

Royal Oui cements their long collaborations Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Before they became The Royal Oui, Adrienne Pierce and Ari Shine’s lives were so entwined their tours, gigs and play dates found them constantly referencing their dual existence. “I would tweet out: ‘We’re playing here tonight.’ So there already was this sort of ‘royal we,’” said Shine in an interview this week. Married for five years, and each very successful singer/songwriters in their own right, their individual projects benefited from a built-in collaboration a solo artist rarely has at his or her disposal. One hardly existed without the other, backing each other on albums and courting scores for television and movies together over the course of their relationship. It was a recipe for success. Shine’s latest solo effort, Songs of Solomon, made the 2013 Grammy ballot for Americana Album of the Year and Pierce can lay claim to having music featured on Grey’s Anatomy and Veronica Mars among a string of other Hollywood projects since the two hooked up. But as in any solo effort, the buck always stopped with the lead artist. After forming The Royal Oui in March, they decid-
ed to share the burden. While they may be going out on a limb with a new name that lacks the backing of their individual reputations in the business, the pair said this chance to share in their successes and failures has really made the business of making music more fun. “It’s definitely a challenge to start fresh, but it’s also an opportunity,” explained Pierce, noting The Royal Oui will do far more touring than they ever did as single entities. “People are really embracing the new stuff,” Shine added. “One guy put it to me as: ‘It’s like The Clash. I like Joe Strummer by himself and I like Big Audio Dynamite, but when you see the two of them together, it’s like
the best.” Hollywood is this couple’s stomping ground. They met in 2007 as Pierce was recording her first album, Faultline, in a studio in the hills. Shine knew people in Vancouver—Pierce is originally from West Vancouver—as he was signed to a Vancouver label at the time. Pierce was impressed by his extensive knowledge of the Canadian music scene. The pair started talking and were married not long after. “We used to joke that we were an undercover duo. I really felt like Ari was a part of my band, but at the end of the day, it still always had my name on it,” Pierce explained. It’s clearly the same on Shine’s material where his wife
is consistently among the credits. Starting anew they’re hoping to incorporate more video—an element neither has really explored before. Salvaging some vintage public access footage and layering it with images of things that struck their fancy enough to shoot themselves, they’ve taken the performance to a full sensory level with layer upon layer of imagery. And they’re quite eager to spend what sounds like many months on the road showing off their work. “One thing I really love about touring is meeting people,” said Pierce. “So if you love the music and what you saw, come and say hi.” Pierce has already been interviewed by Rolling Stone Magazine and described their single Actual Size by saying “Actual Size started out as a moody little acoustic number but it quickly took on a life of its own. The beats are actually created by banging on the guitar, and the asymmetrical rhythm make us feel like we are in a game of double dutch.” To see this kaleidoscope of music, sound, collaboration and laughter come to life, come out to hear The Royal Oui at the Streaming Café, with Catlow also on the bill, on Saturday, Nov. 9 starting at 7 p.m. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
Volunteers who help us remember Dawn Wilkinson COLUMNIST
I went to get my hair cut on Saturday. The hair stylist and I were chatting about Halloween being over and Christmas on its way. Tanya startled me by saying: “We should wait until after Remembrance Day to decorate for Christmas.” Wow. The importance of respect, of honour, of remembrance . . . On my way home, I stopped at the grocery store and what did I see? People selling poppies. Here is another ex-
ample of committed volunteers reminding us about the important things in life. Their role is in fact part of our Canadian culture. The Veterans Affairs Canada website tells us that the first Remembrance Day was held in 1919 to commemorate the end of World War 1 on Monday, Nov. 11, 1918 at 11 a.m. That is where the phrase: “The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” originated. At first it was called Armistice Day and it was celebrated on the same
day as Thanksgiving between 1923 and 1931. Poppies and turkey dinners shared the Monday of the week in which Nov. 11 fell – I didn’t know that. All that changed in 1931 when Parliament passed a bill declaring Remembrance Day to be observed on Nov. 11 and Thanksgiving Day was given its own day of Oct.
12.
The poppy has become the symbol of Remembrance Day, a symbol of unity for people around the world to reflect on the sacrifices of those who died in battle for freedom. When you see volunteers selling poppies, they are part of a national campaign raising over $14 million that is held in trust
and goes towards veterans and their dependents according to clearly defined criteria.

Mighty-grossing comic juggernaut
T
he Marvel Cinematic Universe started with Iron Man back in 2008 and has already become the third highest grossing film franchise in movie history at $5 billion. That includes the three Iron Man movies, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor and, of course, The Avengers. Incredibly, it has reached number three without including other Marvel properties like the Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four and Ghost Rider movies. It now adds to that gross with Thor: The Dark World which has already added over $100 million since it opened internationally last week and looks to do as well as the original in North America. Most of the original cast has returned including Chris Hemsworth as the title character as well as Natalie Portman (Jane Foster), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Anthony Hopkins (Odin) and Stellan Skarsgård (Dr. Selvig). Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all. ••• Filmmaker Richard Curtis has given us the romantic comedy gems Notting Hill and Love Actually and now he adds time travel to the genre.

He meets the beautiful Mary (Rachel McAdams) and they fall in love, but an unfortunate time-travel incident means he’s never met her at all. It takes numerous more times time travelling to again win her heart. He uses his ability to try to create the perfect life for himself, but he discovers that his unique gift cannot save him from all of life’s ups and downs. Also starring Curtis regular Bill Nighy as Tim’s father, most critics are liking this unconventional take on the dramatic romantic comedy. ••• Chiwetel Ejiofor is not a household name but he has been a memorable character actor since making his big-screen debut in 1997 in Steven Spielberg’s Amistad.

Innovation for positive change I have recently been introduced to an amazing new organization: Okanagan Changemakers. The concept is based just on that—like-minded people coming together to support social change by supporting community-focused projects. They have an event on Nov. 21 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Rotary Centre for the Arts called Change UP: Innovating for Social Change. There will be food, wine and live music to enjoy before entering the theatre where a number of local entrepreneurs will be presenting their innovative ideas to the audience. Kind of like the Dragon’s Den without the dragons and the negative drama—this event is all about positive re-enforcement. The website explains: “Organizations and individuals from across the Okanagan Valley will be pitching their creative ideas for making positive social change in our local communities.

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.

Lest we forget
The Victoria Cross is the highest military award that a member of the Canadian Forces can receive. It is awarded for extreme acts of bravery in combat and was first awarded by Queen Victoria in 1854. Since then, Canadians have received 96
of the 1,357 Victoria Crosses that have been awarded. The medals are made from the bronze of a captured cannon used by the Russians, in the Crimean War. Today, there is only enough metal left to award 80 more medals.
By: Gabby Craddock Sergeant Frederick Hobson received the Victoria Cross in 1917. The Victoria Cross is an award given to people on the war front, who have committed a serious act of bravery, and this is how he won it. Hobson was under heavy attack by the German’s. They had almost wiped out his whole Lewis Gun Crew. There was one man left but, he had been buried under heavy soil and shrapnel. Hobson took the only tool that he had on him (a small dull shovel) and began digging out his fellow soldier. The German’s started throwing poison smoke at the Sgt. Finally even while being under great attack, Frederick dug out the last remaining member of the crew. Unfortunately, the gun crew member was too distraught to fight. So the Sgt. quickly dug out the last gun, unjammed it and without any training or time to think, he began firing at the German’s. This made them flee back to their post. Frederick Hobson was still shooting at the German’s, while being attacked by putrid poison smoke when, he was shot in the chest. Out of desperation he yelled at the last gun man, “You get that gun online. I’m going to buy you as much time as I can.” Hobson made his final act of bravery by charging at the German’s, while only carrying a rifle and bayonet. Frederick saved the life of his gunman, by ending his own. He was a true hero.
Major Okill Learmonth The Victoria Cross is the highest award for bravery in the face of an enemy. tAs you can imagine, in order to be honoured with this award you would not only have to be a leader, but also to be one of the most courageous men in the country. Maj. Okill Learmonth had no troubles proving that he was indeed built of bravery. He served in from 1914-1917. Regardless the fact that he was so young and still had so much living to do, he not once held back, not even for a second. He fought his hardest up until his very last day. You could say that he gave up his life to lead his soldiers to success. Not only was he awarded with the Victoria Cross, but also the Military Cross. He fought in the First World War and died in France. He personally disposed every attacker that approached both him and his troop. No matter how quickly they had to evacuate the area, he never left a man behind. Fighting this hard was not easy. He was severely injured at the age of 23. However, that did not prevent him from fighting on. He still managed to stand on the parapet of the trench and bomb the enemy. At times he even caught bombs and threw them back. He showed no sign of fear. This continued until he physically could not carry on. He was sent to the hospital where he died. All of his awards were rightfully earned, and he should always be remembered.
By: Ava Durrell Sergeant Hugh Cairns World War One was probably the most devastating war this world has seen. This war would also be Sergeant Hugh Cairn’s last. A recipient of the (now British) Victoria Cross, Sgt. Cairn had fought previously in Vimy Ridge. On Nov. 1, 1918, Sergeant Cairn was leading his troop to capture a machine gun when he was shot in the stomach, shoulder and both hands. Although he was quickly losing blood, he continued to fight and ended up capturing the machine gun, and killed 20 enemies with it. In the early hours of the next day, Nov.2, Sergeant Cairn and his troop were relocating themselves when he collapsed. Unable to get medical attention, Sergeant Cairns died from loss of blood and weakness. He was 21. Hugh was born on Dec. 4, 1896, in Ashington, England. Born to George and Elizabeth Cairns, Hugh and his family moved to Canada in 1911 when Hugh was 14. With his two brothers, on Aug. 2, 1915, Hugh enrolled in the 65th Battalion. On June 30, 1916, he was transferred to the 46th Battalion. His brother, Corporal Albert Cairns, was killed on the 10th of Sept., 1918. (Then) Prvt. Cairns stated that he’d “get 50 Germans for that.” In this pursuit, Sergeant Cairns killed over 50 enemies in seven weeks. Sergeant Cairns was killed
32 days short of his 22 birthday near Valenciennes, France. He is buried in Auberchicourt British Cemetery. Sergeant Hugh Cairns was awarded the Victoria Cross on Nov. 1, 1918. He showed “the highest degree of valour, and his leadership greatly contributed to the success of the attack.” He was the last recipient of the Victoria Cross in World War One. His General, General Currie described his actions as “superhuman deeds.” Respected by his peers and superiors, there are nine places dedicated to Sgt. Cairns. His family is well-known for having these places, and having two awards. Hugh won all of these. His brothers did not win any due to their ranks (Corporal and Private). I believe it is important to remember Sgt. Cairns because he risked, and lost, his life for our country. Personally, I believe that every single person who fought should be recognised as a hero. They fought and killed and were killed, and that should be rewarded. The amount of courage it required to do this was huge. You would have to be able to look an enemy in the eyes, and kill them without feeling any remorse whatsoever. That must have been awful for those who care that the people they are killing have families and futures. For those reasons, that is why I believe it is important to remember those who fought in World War One.
Corporal Alexander Picton Brereton Yards of open land, no cover, and a line of enemy machine guns. This was the situation that Cpl. Alexander Picton Brereton was facing on the allied side against the German resistance, and what he was about to do would earn him a Victoria Cross award. It is given to those who demonstrate unparalleled courage and sacrifice in the line of duty. Alexander was one of those few soldiers. There were seven German machine guns in total, and no way of escape. Cpl. Alexander’s group had a tough decision to make. They had no cover to rush the Germans, but no way of escape, so Alexander had to think fast. He ran to the first machine gun, shooting one operator and bayonetting the other. Taking the machine gun was inspiration enough for the rest of his group to rush the other machine guns and take them. Cpl. Alexander Picton Brereton received the Victoria’s Cross on August 9, 1918. He survived the war, and lived a long, happy life until January 10, 1976, when he died in Calgary, Alberta.

Stone by stone, row by row, There is a place no one wants to go. What once was a field is now a tomb, Another place for poppies to bloom. Looming above people so small, A monument to those who fall. Fighting for us day by day, As if there was any other way. Smooth cold granite line by line, Every headstone is a shrine. Each with a name, a quote, a date, Oh so heavy with the weight, Of the one fallen before his time, Each and every one a crime. But we don’t think about their lives, The left behind, grieving wives. To us they are nothing but a fact, Another fallen soldier with a heroic act. Just a name and a date, that’s all that we see. And that is what they’ve come to be. As tragic as it is, that much is true, They sacrificed more than they knew.

Raye, Sourisseau help Thunderbirds ▼ HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Bears at Vancouver to CIS field hockey title over UVic
College for playoffs
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Despite being in tougher conference, Mt. Boucherie earns a spot in playoffs.
After a busy season of international field hockey with Team Canada, Kelowna’s Abigail Raye and Natalie Sourisseau closed out 2013 with memorable performances on the national stage.
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
As members of the newly-aligned Eastern Conference this fall, the Mount Boucherie Bears found the going much tougher during the 2013 regular season. Still, the Bears did enough this year to earn
a berth into the B.C. high school football playoffs. On Saturday at 1:30, Boucherie will visit the Vancouver College Fighting Irish, with the winner moving on to the quarterfinal round. The Bears, who went 2-5 this season, have a degree of familiarity with the Irish (4-2) having played them once in each of the last two years. “We played Van College in the pre-season and lost by five points,” said Bears’ coach Mike Godwin. “We played them in the playoffs last year so
Natalie Sourisseau Raye was named the MVP and Sourisseau was a tournament all-star, as the UBC Thunderbirds captured the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women’s title Sunday in Victoria. UBC defeated the host University of Victoria Vikes 4-1 in the final to give the T’Birds a record third consecutive national title and 15th in the school’s history. Raye, who completed her fourth season with the Canada West program in Vancouver, was thrilled to once again wear the gold medal. “Winning the championship again is great,” said Raye, 22, who also played with Sourisseau at KSS. “We’re so close as a team, it was nice to come together and win…really an amazing feeling. “I’m especially happy for my teammates who

As for earning the tournament’s most valuable player award, Raye regards it as a nice bonus for a season of hard work. “It’s really a nice honour,” Raye said of the MVP recognition. “It’s
always great to be recognized, I’ve put so much of my life into field hockey and have so much fun playing it, it’s really a nice reward.” Both Raye and Sourisseau were coming off a busy and productive year of international field hockey with the Canadian senior women’s team, which included a bronze medal effort at the Pan Am Cup in Argentina. With 95 caps, Raye is soon to become the youngest Canadian player ever to reach the century
mark in international field hockey appearances— likely early in 2014. “It’s come around pretty quickly,” Raye said of her impending 100th cap. “I’m really excited to have a chance to do that at such a young age.” Sourisseau, 20, is in her third year with the Canadian senior program and has 46 caps to her credit. Meanwhile, another former KSS player, Stefanie Hatch, was a member of the runner-up Victoria Vikes at the CIS finals.

we are getting pretty familiar with them, but I guess that goes both ways.” The Bears were the only one of three Central Okanagan team to make the playoffs this year in the Lower Mainland-dominated eightteam Eastern Conference. Boucherie clinched a spot with a 31-28 victory over the Rutland Voodoos last Friday night at the Apple Bowl. The Bears’ offence rushed for 199 yards to eat up much of the clock against a tough Rutland squad. With the game on the line, Spencer Humes picked off a pass for the Bears to secure the win. The Voodoos, who gave the Bears all they could handle, finished 0-7 this season but made considerable progress in the eyes of head coach Peter McCall. “It was a challenging season playing with the Lower Mainland schools but we really made strides as a program and now we know what to expect and prepare for in 2014,” McCall said. Against Boucherie, Mitch Walz passed for 129 yards while Tony Nyugen scored two touchdowns for the Voodoos. On defence, Justice Dovich returned a fumble 78 yards for a major, Matt Walz had 11 tackles, and Trenton Nesdoly had three fumble recoveries. The KSS Owls, who finished 1-6, lost their final game of the season 41-6 to Terry Fox.

GRACE AND MERCY Throughout the New Testament we encounter the words “grace” and “mercy”. The Apostle Paul began two letters to his protégé as follows: “To Timothy my true son in faith, grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.” Were these words a mere greeting or salutation, or did they convey something powerful? The word ‘mercy’ may be defined as “not getting what you deserve”. The word ‘grace’ may be defined as “getting what you don’t deserve”. Before becoming an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, Paul was a rising star in Judaism. He described himself as belonging to the ancient Hebrew tribe of Benjamin and a Pharisee. As a Pharisee, he was obsessed with obedience to the Law given by Moses. He described himself as blameless when it came to following Israel’s legal code. He saw this new sect of Christianity as a real threat to Judaism. He believed that the Christian sect must be stopped at all costs for fear it would destroy Judaism. He received permission to persecute Christians. He had them arrested and imprisoned. Acts 7 records the trial by a kangaroo court and execution, by stoning, of the Deacon Stephan. Stephen was the first Christian martyr. The witnesses who stoned Stephen took their coats off so that they would be able to throw their stones more freely. They laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. They did not give their coats to Saul for safe keeping; rather, it signified that Saul had orchestrated the stoning in many and various ways. Saul would later be renamed Paul and made an Apostle. Stephan’s blood was definitely on Paul’s hands. The facts are crystal clear. Stephan did nothing to deserve being sentenced to death by stoning. He had committed no blasphemy against God. He had preached and proclaimed the absolute truth: Jesus was the Messiah that all Jews had been waiting for. He preached that Christ had died, Christ had risen and Christ will come again to bring an eternal kingdom. Paul, however, deserved to die for what he had done to aid and abet a capital crime. Yet God had mercy on Paul: he did not “get what he deserved”. God bestowed more than just mercy on Paul: Jesus gave him the opportunity to be humbled and repent for what he had done. Paul was literally blinded by the light of Christ and thrown to the ground. He had to become physically blind, in order to see that Jesus was the Messiah all Israel had waited for. Jesus chose Paul to bring the Gospel to Jews and Gentiles (see acts 9:1-19). Paul had received grace from Jesus: he “got what he didn’t deserve” - a second chance. The second chance Paul received from God was not because, in some way, Paul had earned it or because of a warm and fuzzy feeling on God’s part. Paul had committed
acts of atrocity against Christians and was a murderer. There were consequences for his acts against the Body of Christ. Jesus had fought sin, death and the Devil on the cross. When Jesus suffered innocently and died on the cross, He paid for Paul’s sins and as a result, Paul was set free to be a disciple of Christ. God’s gifts to Paul did not stop with a second chance. God gave Paul the Holy Spirit, who gave Paul faith in Jesus Christ and all the tools he needed to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and take it around the known world. Paul proclaimed that the mercy and grace offered to him is offered to all who hear the words of the Gospel message. Paul wrote, “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” (Romans 10:17) Paul declared that all who believe in Jesus will have eternal life (Romans 10:9-10). Paul also declared that God gives Christians different gifts so that the Gospel of Jesus is spread throughout the world; gifts that include preaching, teaching, administration, healing, encouraging, and speaking and interpreting different tongues. We receive grace and mercy for no other reason than the innocent suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We, like Paul, receive grace and mercy because of a battle fought and won long ago. I am struck by the grace and the mercy bestowed upon our land. We live in a free land. Every citizen and legal resident of this land has the opportunity to strive for the best life possible. We can worship in freedom and peace. We can speak our minds without fear of punishment. We can move freely around our country. Yet it seems in many and various ways, we abuse our freedom. We act as if we are entitled to all that we have and can hope to gain in the future. We struggle for wealth and status, and put our personal agendas ahead of everything and everyone. The developing world watches as we bask in our opulence. We have to ask ourselves whether individually or as a nation, we truly behave in a way which demonstrates to the rest of the world that we deserve the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy. I believe that we do not, therefore, what we have is pure grace: gifts that we do not deserve. The freedom and prosperity we have is precarious and everything can change in the blink of an eye. Dark forces can arise at any time and seize all that we have. History shouts these truths in every generation. History also shouts that freedom always comes at the expense or sacrifice of another. We enjoy our freedoms because our fellow citizens made sacrifices. They fought in wars to defend their generation and the generations that followed them. Some paid the ultimate price with their lives. Some paid with their limbs. The innocence of youth was taken away from them. Memories of war were etched in their minds. They fought
and won so that we can live with the freedom and prosperity we enjoy. On Remembrance Day every Canadian must stop and think about the sacrifice of brave Canadians who gave their lives and limbs in defence of our land. We must ask if the way we use our land, its resources, and our personal, religious, economic and political freedoms in a way that reflects the knowledge that these freedoms were bought with the blood, sweat and tears of our forefathers and foremothers. On Remembrance Day, every Christian in Canada needs to stop and think of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us, the mercy that God bestows on us, and the grace He pours on us. We must question whether our personal lives and our ministries reflect the sacrifice Jesus made for us. Speaking through the prophet Amos, God told his Chosen people: “I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me.” (Amos 5:21) Why? God’s Chosen People were engaging in the right rituals at the right time. However, they were abusing the poor and each other in the times between. God wanted worship to produce something in the days that followed. “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” (Amos 5:24). God wanted His people to act justly towards one another and the world. He wanted His people to be in a right relationship with Him and one another. Where there was strife between people, He wanted reconciliation. When one man was in need, God wanted one with excess to help the one in need. God wanted His Chosen People to pour His grace and mercy on others. We have the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ: are we sharing it with others in this land? Christians believe in a God of mercy, grace, resurrection and life. We believe that, because of God’s grace and mercy, people who died in all the wars fought are with Him. We believe they are part of the great cloud of witnesses that surround us. They are reconciled with God and one another through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. They call us to share God’s mercy and grace in this world today, so that people everywhere are reconciled with Christ and one another. This is the battle we are called to! Let’s ‘fight the good fight’ in Christ.

The realities of legal risk in the pursuit of volunteering T ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott cause each other injury. The legal responsibility comes with a very sensible enforcement mechanism. If you fall short, our law requires
you to pay your victim fair financial compensation for whatever losses arise from the injury you cause. This sensible legal responsibility has a very natural consequence. Just like demand naturally drives up cost in our free market economy, this legal responsibility naturally encourages us to take reasonable care not to cause injuries to others. If we take away this
legal responsibility, we take away that natural encouragement to take care. Less care results in more injuries. We would also do something that feels worse, to me, than exposing an altruistic volunteer to potential legal liability. What’s worse, in my view, is an innocent victim with no recourse for fair compensation. Insurance companies are very sensible. They

hank you, Tom, for this week’s column topic. Tom asked me to write about legal responsibilities related to involvement in a non-profit organization. Involvement might range from volunteering your time to taking on a leadership role and becoming a director. You might or might not choose to pay the typically small annual fee to become a member. There are all sorts of non-profit organizations with all sorts of purposes. Many, perhaps most, have been formed by generous souls, with wonderful intentions, coming together to make our world a better place. Members and directors of these organizations are unpaid volunteers. Sometimes, a paid position is created, often called an executive director, to manage things. The most important roles of that position are often soliciting donations and volunteer support. There seems always to be a shortage of funding for whatever a non-profit organization is trying to achieve. With unlimited dollars and cents, insurance could be purchased to protect against legal responsibilities. Tom noted that for non-profit organizations, insurance may not be affordable. Tom asked me for my opinions on this subject. I will restrict them to the very narrow area of my legal practice, which is obtaining fair financial compensation for those injured as a result of the negligence of others. It feels wrong that those coming together to form a non-profit organization, those volunteering their time to lead the organization, and those volunteering to help do the good work of the organization could face any negative consequences at all as a result of selflessly giving of themselves to help make the world a better place. We should do whatever we can to encourage our children, and each other, along this path of altruistic behaviour. Such behaviour should not be stifled by the risk of facing legal responsibilities. Or should it? The applicable law is very sensible. Each of us owes each other a legal responsibility (duty) to be reasonably careful not to

ABLEY, CHARLES WILLIAM Charles William (Bill) Abley passed away on Sunday, November 3, 2013 at the age of 89. He was predeceased by his wife, Lilian and his infant daughter, Patricia. Bill is survived by three children: Bill (Gwen) of Kamloops, Alun (Alison) of Major, Newport, South Wales, and Stephen of Kelowna; and grandchildren: Bill (Nicole) of Prince George, Jayne (Michael) Latta of Kamloops and Andrew (Lisa) of Kelowna, Tegan Abley of Newport, South Wales and Nathan (Kate) of Kelowna. He is also survived by six great grandchildren: Christopher and Nicholas Abley (Prince George), Isaac and Hannah Latta (Kamloops), Kenzie Abley (Kelowna, Astiracia Abley (Kelowna). “Uncle Bill” also leaves behind close friends Mary Duckworth and Barbara Butler. Bill was born on October 31, 1924, the sixth child in a family of ten children. In his youth, he was an accomplished soccer (football) player and could have pursued a professional career had he not joined the British Marines at age seveteen. As a Royal Marine, he completed his basic training at Chatham, Kent before being dispatched to campaigns in North Africa, Sicily and Italy. His unit trained for the D Day invasion and on that day and for the next five weeks, his ship was off the coast of France, providing cover fire for the troops landing on the Normandy beaches. Following D Day he was dispatched to India, Burma and Singapore. It was in the Far East that he contracted two bouts of malaria and was bitten by a venomous snake. After being demobbed in 1946, he met Lilian Hughes and they were married in Nottingham, England five months later. In 1957, together with sons, Bill and Alun, Bill and Lilian moved to Kelowna where he pursued a career as a carpenter. In 1958 son Stephen was born. He was an ambitious worker. He made huge sacrifices for his family by leaving England to provide greater opportunities for his children in Canada. After the passing of his wife, 2000, Bill moved to Kamloops in 2004 where he resided until he passed away. A private graveside service will be held on Friday, November 8th at Lakeview Memorial Gardens Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to B.C. Parkinson’s Society.

NICOLOSI, DENISE MARIE-AIMEE (NEE TOPIN) Passed away in the early morning of this November 4, 2013. She is survived by her two siblings, six children, many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Born May 26, 1930, in Mali, she later lived in France, finally immigrating to Canada with her husband and family in 1958. She sailed around the world many times with her loving husband Joseph Nicolosi. Denise spent her later years travelling between France, Mexico and across Canada, vacationing and spending time with her family. Her last months were spent surrounded by those she loved and who love her. A strong, inspiring, kind and adventurous woman, a beloved sister, mother and grandmother, she will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Her loss is felt deeply by all. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
WILLIAMS (HAYES): LYDIA JANE In Loving Memory Of. October 14th, 1919 October 30th, 2013. Daughter of Neuman and Alice (Kennet) Hayes. Predeceased by daughters Beverly Ellan (1958) and Heather Leigh (2008) and husband Harry (1997). Still remembering the miracle of Lydia’s life and longevity (rheumatic fever as a child plus seven heart attacks) are her son Doug, two daughters Gail Prothman and Lil Kupser, and son-in-law Ken Kupser, plus ten grandchildren and nine great grandchildren and still counting. Mom, Grandma told us “Forgive everybody, including ourselves of everything. Hold onto the good memories and let go of the bad ones. Never stop giving back, and always be thankful even in those times we can’t seem to”. Lydia crocheted togues, scarves and afghans, giving to family and friends and many more to needy children and homeless. Thanks to all at The Blue Heron home in Lake Country for making her last year safe and happy and full of love. Thanks-you to all at the Kelowna Hospice House for your care and concern in her last days with us. Arrangements entrusted with First Memorial Funeral Services, Kelowna. 250-762-2299

Not sure if you have tried or even seen the new Nestle “Skinny Cow” mike chocolate dreamy clusters. They are crunchy crisps and creamy caramel drenched in milk chocolate and taste so wonderful they can become addictive. That’s not so bad, as they are only 120 calories per pack, so eat on. Nestle is a sponsor of our annual drive-thru breakfast in support of the United Way. You might have noticed a Skinny Cow in your breakfast bag this year. Nestle brought a big variety of all their chocolate brands in support of the drive-thru. Moneca and Assas Melnick have opened Vine Vera in Orchard Park Shopping Centre, next to the administration office. The store sells a revolutionary skin care line that’s based on resveratrol, which is only found in the skin of red wine grapes, certainly suited to the Okanagan Valley. For years geneticists have been looking for the cure to aging and what we can do to delay it. Harvard University has found that everyone has the gene for aging, which is called the SIRT1 gene. So how does this link to resveratrol? After testing all compounds from nuts to coffee, it was found that the skin of the red grape contains an extreme amount of resveratrol which chemically mimics calorie restriction. There are now supplements made of resveratrol which benefit overall health. This is a skin care that has no side effects, allows you to not only rejuvenate the cells on the skin, but leaves the result more permanent.

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Chapman is coming to KELOWNA ON TUES. NOV. 19TH & WED. NOV. 20TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

THE NEWEST Bulk Barn store has opened in
Kelowna on Harvey Avenue at the former Swiss Chalet restaurant location.
Telling your story most accurately: Capital News
Mauve Friday is Coming.
Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Young from A30 tutions—many of which have not worked effectively before—must also be encouraged. Additionally, a modest investment of resources, could yield significant and long term benefits for the socio-economic well-being of our beloved regional landscape. This strategy concept proposes three closely-linked objectives for an entrepreneurship strategy for the Okanagan: Creating a pipeline of entrepreneurs by forming a large and diverse pool of people who are budding, aspiring and existing entrepreneurs who are ready to start and build entrepreneurial ventures in our midst. From this pipeline would flow a steady stream of high achievers with interest in creating ventures, jobs and wealth in their respective regional communities. This strategy would require incorporating and solidifying entrepre-
neurship education into the curricula of the K-12 system and two to four year college and university programs and provide encouragement for an entrepreneurial mindset through effective networking and greater public recognition. It would call for upgrading of the existing array of public, private and non-profit venture/business support services into a seamless system that can deliver financial, technical assistance and real estate services that are relevant and appropriate for all levels of development in the regional floor. And it would introduce a system of promotion and oversight for entrepreneurship development that directs public resources, attracts private and philanthropic support, benchmarks performance and, dramatically raises ongoing public awareness. This strategy model would embrace eight specific key goals: 1. Bring entrepreneur-

BUSINESS ship education programs to at least half of the regional school districts within five years. 2. Make training opportunities for fledgling entrepreneurs readily available in all corners of the region. 3. Ensure affordable, convenient and effective sources of information and technical assistance to all categories of entrepreneurs across the region integrating education and business services 4. Promote an entrepreneurship culture within the most economically disadvantaged and advantaged corners of the region as well.
5. Raise the profile of the existing Okanagan region entrepreneurs and thus the region’s improving entrepreneurial climate. 6. Offer enhanced credit programs in entrepreneurship in public and private colleges and university environments in the region within five years. 7. Ensure access to equity and debt capital in all parts of the region. 8. Make entrepreneurship a high-priority economic development linchpin for the entire Okanagan region. Entrepreneurship is seen as the import-
of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen
ant ingredient in securing economic prosperity and quality of life for all regional citizenry. It offers a way to engage and excite people from all walks of life and from the landscape to take control of their lives and economic destiny. It will invariably take many actions to adjust existing systems and a high level of commitment to effect such adjustment. It will mean collaboration and partnership between public, private and non-profit sectors like never before. But the potential is truly mind-boggling and building on the physical,
financial and intellectual assets of the region, the strategy connects the dots of existing activity to create a new exciting image of prosperity for our beloved best place on earth region of the province. Hope you like this de-
scription and entrepreneurship strategy concept as we desire bringing it into reality in 2014 for us all to enjoy together. Joel Young is the founder of Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

WESTBANK First Nation Chief Robert Louie speaks at the WFN Lands and Economic Development Conference, held at the Sensisyusten Community Centre Tuesday. Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Decisions regarding who will finance Westbank First Nation’s proposed medical wellness facility are taking longer than first expected. In August, WFN Chief Robert Louie told Capital News that ground would likely be broken on Canada’s first-of-its-kind private hospital at some point in October.
On Tuesday, Louie said construction isn’t likely to begin until next spring. “Right now we’re entertaining several financing partners. We’re going through that list very systematically, looking at what is the best relationship— who is going to finance this,” said Louie. “(There are) a lot of complexities in that: Equity and debt financing—all those issues come to play.” Louie said he be-
lieves those decisions will be made over the winter months, with construction expected for early spring 2014 “at the latest.” Louie was the keynote speaker at the third WFN Lands and Economic Development Conference, which was held at the Sensisyusten Community Centre Tuesday. The conference was attended by 180 delegates. He spoke about WFN’s contribution to the local
economy and gave details about several projects, including the private medical facility. The proposed 100-bed, 200,000-square-foot private luxury hospital is expected to cost $125 million to build. It will focus on all medical services except emergency, obstetrics and psychiatric care. Target patients include foreign medical tourists, as well as Canadians who would otherwise leave the country to receive expedited private health care. Louie said the private hospital will be accompanied by a hotel and banquet centre. “We have an agreement on the table for 108 beds in the (hotel’s) first phase, with a 400-seat banquet fa-
cility,” said Louie. “There are plans in the second phase to increase the hotel size by another 50 beds. It’s to be situated quite close, or adjacent, to the medical facility.” In August, Louie told Capital News he is confident Johns Hopkins Medicine International will be a part of the project. “I’m anticipating that the formalized agreement will take place, but it’s premature for me to say that it’s been definitely done. Everything looks strong for that to happen,” said Louie. Louie has also said he doesn’t expect the federal government will take issue with the proposed pri-

Thief targets donation boxes
Police are looking for a suspect after several donation boxes were stolen with money meant to support veterans and seriously ill children. Since Oct. 31, West Kelowna RCMP have received at least four separate complaints of theft of donation boxes from various businesses. In each instance, an unknown man entered the business and left with the donation box when staff were distracted. Each box contained an unknown amount of cash donated to the Royal Canadian Legion’s poppy fund, which supports veterans, and the Ronald McDonald House, which supports seriously ill children. Anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspect is asked to call West Kelowna RCMP Const. Folz at 250-768-2880.
