Zoning bylaw public hearing draws a crowd

Sustainable future needs growth curtailed

STAFF REPORTER

It was standing-room only as approximately 60 residents crowded into the lobby of West Kelowna council chambers Tuesday evening. The majority of those in attendance had concerns regarding the district’s draft zoning bylaw and proposed amendments to the Official Community Plan. The changes, which Coun. Rick de Jong earlier described as “a radical overhaul” to the existing zoning bylaw, will be the first since the zoning bylaw—inherited from the Regional District of the Central Okanagan—was last substantially reviewed in 2000. Many of the residents in attendance Tuesday night were concerned about the proposed P1 zoning for properties along Westside Cays Canal, which runs adjacent to Pritchard Drive. The district received 19 submissions regarding the zoning of the canal. The majority of those letters indicated P1 zoning does not adequately

accommodate the purpose and usage of the waterway. “A site specific zoning for this private waterway should be applied to more accurately accommodate its true purpose and usage,” wrote Jeffrey Shardelow, president of the Westside Cays Waterway Association. According to Nancy Henderson, general manager of development services, the draft zoning bylaw isn’t proposing any changes—the canal has been zoned P1 since at least 1981. Henderson recommended several options to council to ease the concerns of those living along the canal. During its regular meeting after the public hearing, council voted to include consideration of an amendment to the zoning of the canal to specifically permit the construction of docks for adjacent properties as part of the scope of the scheduled 2014 Waterfront Zoning Review. “I’m very optimistic with what you have (de-

We are living by depleting our natural capital such as soils, water and fish stocks, by 50 to 58 per cent and we take the growth that causes that for granted, warns Bill Rees, a population ecologist and UBC professor emeritus. He was speaking to delegates at the Building Sustainable Communities conference continuing until Thursday in Kelowna at the Delta Grand, on some of the most important things he’s learned during his career. “We live in a world of overshoot,” he explained. It may be less obvious here where we live, but in some other parts of the world it’s quite clear, and yet we continue to take growth for granted, and consider kick-starting the economy a good thing. There’s been explosive growth in the past 150 to 200 years, compared to that of thousands of years prior, yet we take that as normal, when it’s actually the most abnormal of all time, he said. Instead we should aim to decrease growth; create an economic recession to decrease carbon emissions and avoid global warming. “Parts of the world are becoming uninhabitable already and hundreds of millions of people will be displaced when they can no longer live in their parts of the world,” he warned. Developing countries are the worst affected. “The rich are getting the gains while the costs go to the poor,” he said. Our species has some amazing qualities, but he says he questions whether there is evidence of intelligent life on Earth when he looks at some of our actions—or lack of them. “We’re short-term opportunists, and our government is in denial about climate change. How can we be so at odds with our potential?” he questioned. Despite being a scientist, Rees says the most important things he has learned have nothing to do with science.

Drug case leads to 10-year prison sentence Vikki Hopes CONTRIBUTOR

A Surrey man has been sentenced to 10 years in jail for his role in a cross-border drug-smuggling case that involved a 24-hour manhunt for his co-accused in April of this year. Jeffrey Laviolette, 37, previously pleaded guilty and was sentenced last Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle, Wash. on charges of conspiracy to distribute ecstasy and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. Three other charges were dismissed—aiding and abetting the possesJeffrey Laviolette sion of ecstasy, conspiracy to import ecstasy, and aiding and abetting the importation of ecstasy. Laviolette and co-accused Nathan Hall, 36, of Kelowna, were arrested in early April when they were spotted by border agents as they were walking through a forested area across the U.S.-Canada border from AbbotsNathan Hall ford to Sumas, Wash. The pair fled, and Hall allegedly fired shots at the agents. Laviolette was apprehended on the scene, but Hall escaped, leading to a day-long manhunt involving authorities on both sides of the border. Two backpacks that were dropped by the pair as they were running were seized by American authorities and found to contain 58.5 pounds of the drug ecstasy, according to court documents at the time. Hall was arrested by Abbotsford police at an apartment in the city early the next morning. Both Laviolette and Hall were on B.C. Crime Stoppers’ “most wanted” list prior to their arrests. Laviolette was wanted for suspension of his national parole, while Hall was wanted in Kelowna for charges of theft and breaching his probation. Laviolette has been in custody in the U.S. since his arrest. Hall was jailed in B.C. and has not yet answered to his charges in the U.S. He faces the same five charges with which Laviolette was initially charged. Two Americans—Ryan Lambert and Kali Henifin—were also charged in relation to the case. The pair had allegedly planned to pick up the drugs from Hall and Laviolette, and transport the ecstasy to San Francisco for $11,000, according to court documents. Both Lambert and Henifin have pleaded guilty. Lambert is scheduled for sentencing on Jan. 10, and Henifin on April 11.

ERIC Huang has become a Reddit sensation with his advice to computer students. CONTRIBUTED

Student drawing social media attention A UBC Okanagan student is getting plenty of attention on a popular social news website after helping a high school student with his homework. Earlier this month, Eric Huang woke up one morning and was amazed to find more than 100 messages on his cell phone. The 18-year-old turned into an overnight sensation on the website Reddit—and was even featured on the homepage of the well-known business and tech site Forbes. com.

As he had many times before, Huang helped a high-school student solve a computer programming problem that the student had posted to Reddit, where Huang is known as Kristler. “I scrolled down on my phone and I kept scrolling and scrolling and it just didn’t end. I answer a lot of questions on Reddit, so this response was serendipitous,” Huang said. The comments, totaling nearly 550, were in response to how Huang had helped the student.

Instead of just answering the question, Huang, as one Reddit user observed, helped “a high school student to think like a programmer instead of doing his homework for him.” In the Reddit thread, entitled Changing the color of a bug based on direction, the high-school student asked how to create a program to solve a particular problem. Huang responded with, “Since this is a class assignment, I’m not going to answer it for you, and neither should anyone

else.” He went on to ask probing questions that helped the student discover the answer for himself. Praise from professional programmers, instructors and teachers for Huang’s clear, competent approach to teaching began filling up the Reddit thread. Many assumed Huang was a professional programmer or teacher and were shocked to learn he was an 18-year-old student. Huang has had some experience as a teacher. In Grade 9, he organized and

taught the first aid class for his secondary school. In high school, he also took an elective in peer tutoring and worked in his school’s learning support centre, helping students with learning disabilities. “I really enjoy answering questions for people,” said Huang. “I especially enjoy explaining concepts to people with little to no prior experience, because I feel like I can do a really good job coming up with examples and analogies that make sense. I find it really fun too.”

▼ VALLEY FLIGHT

Pilots learn a lesson from fatal plane crash Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Lessons learned from a light plane crash that killed two people and injured two others in a wooded area 18 kilometres west of Kelowna may help pilots take the route more safely in the future. The Transportation Safety Board revealed Wednesday that the Aug. 13, 2012, crash was caused by excess weight combined with reduced climb rate and engine power, but new information being offered to pilots flying the same route could help circum-

vent future fatalities. Nav Canada and Transport Canada have added information on recommended altitudes when departing the Okanagan Valley and suggest flying routes between Princeton, Brenda Mines, highway 97C and Okanagan Lake. As well, a new sign was installed at the Penticton Airport advising pilots to climb to 5,000 feet prior to turning west or east when departing the Okanagan Valley. Had the privately-operated Piper Twin Comanche, which crashed near the Brenda Mine site adjacent to the Coquihal-

la Connector highway, been able to reach that altitude after it left Penticton Airport at 2:32 p.m. its fate may have been different. “It took a northbound path over Okanagan Lake for approximately 20 nautical miles before turning west into a valley,” read the report from the TSB. “This was about 14 nautical miles further than planned due to a lower than expected rate of climb.” The reduced rate of climb was attributed to atmospheric conditions, the aircraft being over its gross takeoff weight, reduced

power in the right engine, and the decision not to use available turbochargers. The investigation also determined that the safety of passengers could have been improved if the aircraft had been equipped with shoulder harnesses to complement the available lap belts. Investigators established that the risk of a post-crash fire was reduced because the aircraft battery had disconnected during the crash, thereby removing a potential ignition source for the aviation fuel that remained in its fuel tanks.

First Nations art adorns ‘gateway’ to downtown Kelowna Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna has teamed up with two Westbank First Nation artists to give anyone entering the downtown core, via the east end of the downtown portion of Bernard Avenue, a colourful welcome. Eight brightly coloured, original art banners, created by WFN artists Janine Lott and Jordon Coble now adorn the new poles which the city calls its “Gateway” to the renovated Bernard Avenue at Richter Street. At night, neon light on the poles slowly change colour. The theme of the banners is The Land is Our Culture and they celebrate the Syilx/Okanagan people and their connection to the land, said Lott. Using a style that includes both traditional aboriginal art elements, as well as non-traditional aboriginal art, the banners include images of man, the coyote, the bear, plants, water, sun, fish, a cityscape and even the Sail’s sculpture, long an iconic image used by the City of Kelowna. “Everyone shares the land, the water and the culture of the Okanagan

and we need to be considerate of that,” said Lott. Coble said creating the banners—a project in which Lott mentored him in the studio—took the pair more than 100 hours to create. But he said he is proud of how they turned out and the fact that they are being used as a welcome to not only Kelowna’s downtown but to the traditional territories of his people. Lott said the idea for the banners—there are five different ones and three are repeated—came from an art exhibition she held at the Kelowna Art Gallery a few years ago that also illustrated her people’s connection to the land. Both Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray and WFN Chief Robert Louie praised the working relationship the city and WFN have forged over the years, with Louie calling the inclusion of First Nations art on the new-look Bernard Avenue in the heart of Kelowna “very significant.” Gray called the creation of the banners, and their location, another example of how inclusive he feels Kelowna has become. In recent years, the city has allowed a large

Menorah to be located in Jim Stuart Park across from City Hall during the Jewish holiday celebration of Hanukkah, it has thrown its public support behind the annual Pride Festival and has reached out to Indo-Canadian and Asian-Canadian populations. But this latest public art collaboration between the City of Kelowna and WFN is a first for those two organizations. The city specifically

wanted First Nations art for the poles, limited competition for the commission to Okanagan First Nation artists. All the artists who made submissions were from the WFN. City officials said the banners continue the place-making approach used throughout the $14 million Bernard Avenue streetscape project. “The First Nation culture of this area is connected to the natural land-

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

scape,” said Pat McCormick, urban design planner. “We’ve reflected that connection along the street by using the Syilx language on inlaid polished pavers describing local flora and fauna and on the Gateway poles where these banners are now displayed.” The poles include the English word “welcome” and the Sylix word “limlint,” meaning thank you. Public art installations

on the new Bernard Avenue streetscape are used to help create a distinctive sense of place and reinforce the design of the other elements along the street. And Gray said he hopes the public will start to think of Bernard less as a street and more as a “place.” “It’s time Kelowna had an outdoor mall,” he said Tuesday, alluding to its more pedestrian-friendly approach

with wider sidewalks, more sidewalk restaurant seating and decorative lighting. McCormick said street features along Bernard were chosen to be in keeping with the natural elements and history of the Okanagan, with benches and pavers made of natural stone, while the light pole design inspiration came from the heavy timbers used in the Kettle Valley Railway trestles. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Sustainable living ideas examined at Kelowna conference Future from A1 For example, he says he’s learned that people are not primarily rational; that they accept new information only if it reinforces the status quo, and that reality is almost never as it seems. Peter Furth of North Eastern University in Boston talked about sustainable transportation, noting that bike-friendly communities are good for the climate and people. People like to be able to walk and bike, and bike paths can reduce the use of cars and make a city more child-friendly. Mass cycling requires a connected network of lowtraffic, low-stress bike routes with stand-alone paths and roadside bike paths with barriers to separate them from traffic. Although safe-cycling infrastructure is not cheap, he said it’s also not that expensive. Gerben van Straaten of Walas Concepts in the Netherlands told about their work re-using old buildings instead of tearing them down and re-building. “We’re trying to be first in and last out, not last in and first out, because that’s not sustainable,” he explained. Instead, cradle to grave principles are used, so that a systems approach is taken, including socio, economic and financial engineering. The company specializes in converting old and dysfunctional neighbourhoods into vital communities, using innovative concepts. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

NOTICE of PLEBISCITE On A Plan to Establish an Apple Industry Development Council for British Columbia Apple Producers

▼ CONFERENCE

Economics of farming need changing

A plan is proposed to establish an industry council under the BC Farming and Fishing Industries Development Act. The proposed name of the council is the Apple Research and Promotion Agency (ARPA).

Judie Steeves

ARPA will have the authority to collect levies and fulfill the objectives that are outlined in the published plan. The Council will secure a larger funding base, from government matching funds and potentially from a levy on imported apples (a proposal is currently being developed by a national committee of apple producers). ARPA will promote apple consumption, as well as horticultural and packing research. The Council will represent all apple producers regardless of how their apples are packed or sold.

STAFF REPORTER

Farming is not economically sustainable and until industrial agriculture is replaced by regional agricultural systems, Canada will continue to lose farmers, warns Kent Mullinix, director of the Institute for Sustainable Food Systems at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Mullinix was speaking to delegates at the Building Sustainable Communities conference in Kelowna Tuesday on what a sustainable food system would look like in B.C.— one that would provide reliable access to sufficient, safe, nutritious and affordable food that meets dietary needs and food preferences. “The production cost far exceeds the revenue potential. There’s no potential for income (for farmers), yet there are huge amounts of money in agri-foods—just not for farmers,” he told delegates. “Farmers get less than

Growers with over 2 acres of apples are eligible to vote. A registry will be maintained by an independent registrar / returning officer. All contact information for growers will be held confidentially by the registrar / returning officer. Registered growers who do not vote at initial public sessions on November 27 and 28, 2013 will receive a voting package in the mail. For growers who are qualified, there are three ways to vote: 1.

He says the “get bigger or get out syndrome” has resulted in fewer farms and farmers, and we’re at a record low now in Canada, largely because of consolidation. Due to this loss of family farms, by 2030, the traditional family farm will be gone if the trend persists, he warned. Currently, the average age of farmers is older than 55 years of age, and many are leaving the industry.

black friday sale

With that trend, we’re losing the knowledge of ‘place’ just when we will need it to advance to a sustainable food system, he warned. Strong backs and big hearts on the farm have been replaced by money, machines and fossil fuels, he said. Sustainability is the supreme human challenge and food systems are the foundation of sustainability, Mullinix told delegates to the conference, which continues today at the Delta Grand. Today, the production paradigm dominates—it’s industrial agriculture. This meta ethic produces food for people but results in agriculture with such distinct characteristics as high machinery inputs; more use of pesticides, yet more pests too, he warned. It’s energy-intensive and the return on investment is dismal, he said. Small farms are leading the move to sustainable farming, and that sort of farming leads to a high-

Food dollars must be kept in the community. Agriculture must be municipally-enabled and supported. He sees under-used land that’s in the Agricultural Land Reserve in B.C., and says there’s great potential there to provide jobs and generate huge returns. We need to be designing regional food systems on a variable scale, with low inputs, using alternative marketing. Local, sustainable food systems are a people and community proposition. More farmers are needed to build a post-industrial-agriculture, strong, regional food system. “It’s not a global food system but a global network of regional systems,” he said, adding, “Sustainability is a challenge of spirit, not of technology.” jsteeves @kelownacapnews.com

er standard of living; lower poverty and crime rates; more retail, parks, schools and newspapers and more citizen involvement in the community, he said. Today, he said, a smaller percentage of our income is spent on food than was spent 50 years ago. Some people eat too much, while a million children around the world starve to death. Even the foods we eat are not as nutritious—including the fruits, vegetables and the milk—than they used to be, he said. Western diseases such as heart disease and diabetes are mostly food-related and we’re spending a lot more on health care, he warned. For every dollar spent on education about healthy eating, $500 is spent on food marketing. Our current food system is simply not sustainable, he said. We need to scale down. “I believe sustainable food systems require regionalization,” he said.

The city has budgeted $1.5 million for snow and

ice removal in 2013. So far this year, about half that amount has been spent. The budget covers the winter months at both the start and end of the calendar year. As in past years, the city will clear snow and de-ice municipal roads (excluding Highways 33 and 97, which are provincial responsibilities) based on their priority status.

Priority 1 roads include main roads, such as Gordon Drive, Springfield and KLO Roads. Priority 2 roads include collector roads, such as Richter Street as well as bus routes, school zones, town centres and emergency vehicle stations. Priority 3 roads include local roads within neighbourhoods. Priority 4 roads are the last to be cleared. They include laneways. Residents are responsible for clearing snow from their private driveways and the sidewalks fronting their property.

Father sentenced for abusing his daughter An Okanagan man who sexually abused his daughter nearly a decade ago, was given an 18 month conditional sentence in a Kelowna courtroom, Wednesday morning. The man, 50, can’t be named in order to protect his victim’s identity. He was convicted earlier in the year of charges

of sexual assault of a person under 15, and sexual touching. The offences took place twice during the now 16-year-old victim’s childhood—once when she was age seven and again when she was age eight. According the judge, the victim’s father once entered the girl’s room

while she was in her own bed, fondled her, which is an issue. It’s an incident he claimed not to remember, possibly due to a head injury, and therefore did not express remorse for. His sentence will keep

him within the confines of his North Okanagan home between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 a.m., leaving only to go to work, for the duration of his sentence. He will also have to submit a DNA sample.

Beware of chasing U.S. bargains

any Canadians will vote with their feet this week and head south on Black Friday in hopes of finding bargains on electronics, appliances, apparel and food. This trek is part of a general trend of Canadians to cross-border shop while our dollar’s value stays relatively high, and although the price spread is just 10 per cent—not a huge difference given the time spent in border lineups and the cost of gas—the general impression is that U.S. retailers do a better job in keep-

ing prices low. The truth is more complicated as retailers, such as London Drugs, have been adapting to consumer demand, offering competitive deals and early shopping hours for Black Friday to keep shoppers at home. As well, the entry of Walmart and Target have forced Canadian retailers to sharpen their pencils. Foreign suppliers have historically charged more for their product, knowing Canadian consumers will still pay the higher price, and because Canada is a

more costly market to service. Transportation costs, distribution costs, somewhat higher labour costs, tariffs and fees as well as higher rent and real estate costs all add to the mark-up we pay on goods. It’s a fact of life in a country with a smaller population. But should retailers ignore the desire of Canadians to get more for their money? Absolutely not, they need to take some responsibility for the problem of cross-border shopping and do what they can to keep customers

at home. At the same time, Canadian consumers shouldn’t be let off the hook. They need to know that circulating their dollar in their home community keeps themselves and their neighbours employed, and thus benefits local economies. Dollars spent in Canada will also ensure that we continue to enjoy health care, a strong social safety net and many other benefits. When it comes to quality of life, you get what you pay for.

Kelowna’s international airport keeps adding to its services

ast week, the inaugural flight between Cranbrook and our own Kelowna International Airport (YLW) arrived on the tarmac, beginning regular service between the two regions. Pacific Coastal Airways has added this destination to its list of more than 65 B.C. communities that they connect with regular service, bringing even more visitors to the Okanagan. This new route is great news for the Kelowna and Okanagan tourism industry, and for our friends in the Kootenays who already travelled here to see medical specialists and use our world-class medical facilities. As our community continues to grow, it is important that we have the

infrastructure to meet the demands of today, and anticipate the growth of tomorrow. The Kelowna Airport has ambitious plans to meet a goal of 1.6 million passengers by 2015, and they’re well on their way to meeting it. This year, the one millionth passenger flew out in August, compared to September last year and December in 2005. The airport has already completed a $4.8 million expansion on the international arrivals area, providing more space for Canadian Border Services Agency to do their important work.

Anyone who has waited in a busy customs line can appreciate the value in providing more space to reduce congestion at customs. The runway has reNorm ceived new surface Letnick paving for the first time since 1986, making sure that planes of all size will be able to land safely at our airport. As another part of the Drive to 1.6 Million Passenger Program, a $1 million revitalization was completed on the Airport Way, improving the road infrastructure and making aesthetic enhancements like landscaping and

lighting. As the airport expands, more airlines like Pacific Coastal Airways are bringing service routes to Kelowna. Earlier this year, the airport announced seasonal service to Whitehorse in a partnership with the Yukon’s airline, Air North. Airlines like Northwestern Air are expanding their existing service with flights to Abbotsford and Red Deer. What does this mean for Kelowna? In a study done on projected airport expansion between 2007 and 2025, it found that over 3,000 jobs will be created by 2015, and over $525 million in economic output between the study’s publication in 2007 and 2025.

Kelowna has a thriving tourism industry, and it’s exciting to know that visitors from all around the world travel to see the natural beauty of our region, to try the incredible wines from this region, and to experience our hospitality. Having an airport that allows for simple travel plans and a seamless journey is a key aspect of attracting more guests every year, and growing our economy. Our tourism industry contributes millions to our economy, creates great jobs, and provides opportunities for our children to live and work right here in Kelowna. We’re so fortunate to have the tools we need to keep our

Trade deal could curtail Internet access To the editor: Canadian government officials are working with those from 11 other nations to finalize the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) [trans-Pacific free trade negotiations]. I am very concerned about the TPP, which is currently being negotiated without public input. We know from documents revealed by Wikileaks that the TPP includes an Internet Censorship plan that would make the Internet more policed, expensive and censored. Experts have pointed out that under the TPP, “kids could be sent to jail for downloading” and whole families could be kicked off the Internet. It would force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to become Internet police and monitor my Internet use, censor website content and remove entire websites from

my view. It would also hinder our ability to access information and criminalize our everday use of the Internet. As a concerned citizen, I am speaking out for a free and open Internet. The TPP would also limit accessibility for disabled people. Visually impaired or deaf people would be criminalized for circumventing digital locks on any digital materials they have purchased. This means they would be unable to convert them to braille, audio, or other accessible formats. I believe that the Internet should be open and accessible to everyone. In addition, the TPP’s proposal to force ISPs to install costly and invasive surveillance equipment into their networks gravely worries

me. These added costs would drive up everyone’s Internet bills and could force smaller independent Internet providers out of business. I believe that Internet access is a right and should be kept open and affordable for everyone. Already over 120,000 have signed the Say No to Internet Censorship petition. I encourage everyone to learn more about TPP Internet Censorship before it’s too late at this website: https://OpenMedia.org/Censorship I encourage each and every Canadian to learn more about the TPP at OpenMedia.org/ Censorship.

Science shows GMOs not dangerous to eat To the editor: The anti-GMO (genetically modified organisms) industry has ramped up their attacks on GE (genetically engineered) crops and food made from them. From GE test plot destruction to demand for GE specific labelling to calling for the banning of agriculture using GE crops, this global industry uses fear and public ignorance of the real science to advance their agenda. This month the GEFree/Greenpeace sponsored anti-GMO speaking tour began its 32 city myth-information campaign. (The tour was in Kelowna for a public forum last Sunday.) I have been involved with GE crops and food with an emphasis on public education for over a decade. I’m very familiar with most of the discredited science that allegedly shows GE crops cause harm. I attended the first stop on the tour in Courtenay to see what evidence the speakers would present to convince the audience of the alleged harm from GE crops and food made from them. The main speaker, Dr. Vrain, spoke about how ‘science’ proved GE crops and food were causing all manners of ills.

Each of the publications he cites has been examined by experts in toxicology, food safety, health as well as national and international scientific bodies. All the publications he uses in his presentation have been rejected for a variety of reasons related to multiple breaches of the scientific method. One such example that Vrain claims to be evidence is the Rowett paper in The Lancet. However, after reviewing the paper the UK Royal Society said: “…the reported work from the Rowett is flawed in many aspects of design, execution and analysis and that no conclusions should be drawn from it. We found no convincing evidence of adverse effects from GM potatoes.” Vrain claims a report (not a study) shows correlations of GE crop with a dozen diseases. The same correlation could equally apply to the rise in organic food consumption, but every real scientist knows correlation does not equal causation. The author of that report also published another report last year claiming vaccines cause autism. Another amusing bit of pseudo-science that Vrain presents as ‘evi-

dence’ is actually the most discredited paper in the history of GE research, Seralini 2012. Every food safety authority in the world has unanimously rejected this preposterous publication, the third time publications from this author have been severely rebuked by world authorities. Health Canada examined and rejected the conclusions of the Seralini paper. They said: “The overwhelming body of scientific evidence continues to support the safety of NK603, genetically modified food and feed products in general, and glyphosate containing herbicides. However, whenever new information concerning the safety of an authorized product arises, this new data is carefully reviewed.” Vrain rejects virtually all North American research claiming it is inaccurate and biased. Here is the European scientific opinion: • European Academies Science Advisory Council: “There is no validated evidence that GM crops have greater adverse impact on health and the environment than any other technology used in plant breeding. There is compelling evidence that GM crops can contribute

To the editor: Re: Housing prices remaining flat, column by Ceinwen Morgan (Capital News, Nov. 22) Ceinwen stated in her column: “So if the supply

is low, then the amount buyers are willing to pay is less.” Really? Isn’t this ass backwards to the whole idea behind supply and demand—high de-

mand, low supply =prices up; low demand, high supply=prices down? Ceinwen seems to have this turned around. Harry Kaufmann, Kelowna

to sustainable development goals with benefits to farmers, consumers, the environment and the economy. (2013) • European Commission: A Decade of EU-Funded GMO Research 2001-2010: “The main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than e.g. conventional plant breeding technologies.” Health Experts share the same safety opinion: The Vancouver Coastal Health Authority: “There is no evidence that Health Canada approved GE foods and food crops are any less safe for human health than non-GE varieties. There is no public health reason for a ban on genetically engineered trees, plants and crops.” VCHA (2012) WHO-Twenty Questions on GMOs: “The GM products that are currently on the international market have all passed risk assessments conducted by national authorities. These different assessments in general follow the same basic principles, including an assessment of environ-

mental and human health risk. These assessments are thorough, they have not indicated any risk to human health.” WHO 2013 The American Association for the Advancement of Science said it best: “Moreover, the AAAS board said, the World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the British Royal Society, and every other respected organization that has examined the evidence has come to the same conclusion: Consuming foods containing ingredients derived from GM crops is no riskier than consuming the same foods containing ingredients from crop plants modified by conventional plant improvement techniques.” AAAS (2012) Every example Vrain puts forward has been examined and dismissed by world food, health and science experts. This fact seems to be irrelevant to him. Simply put, he is promoting fear, not facts. My website http:// web.viu.ca/wager can help people learn the real science and global opinion on GMOs.

As expected, one of the biggest festivals of the summer has moved out of its August long weekend slot, into a slightly more low-key timeframe. Center of Gravity will return to Kelowna’s City Park July 25 to 27, said organizer Scott Emslie, Wednesday. “It’s the best weekend for the festival to move to,” he said. “After the last one, we felt the festival had gotten so big…moving off August long week-

end makes sense.” The change ultimately fulfills the needs of local businesses and politicians who raised a long list of concerns after the city was overrun with an overwhelming combination of festival revellers and regular tourist traffic. “On site we did a good job of crowd control and security points, making sure (there were no problems) on site,” he said. “But because there are so many people in town… there was some kerfuffle. “This change should help us avoid some of the

auxiliary complications.” Particular complications were neighbourhoods overrun with crowds, hotels booked to capacity and Mounties contending with a bumper crop of drug and gang related issues. Splitting tourist traffic and COG traffic could also have an economic benefit, said Emslie, noting that local hotels will get another boost in business on a weekend that’s not often overly busy. Just in time for the holiday season, Wet Ape is releasing a limited num-

ber of three-day early bird festival passes, starting Nov. 29. Tickets will only be available to MECOG database members and Sun Worshippers.

CONTRIBUTOR

Officials hope a smouldering dispute has been doused at the North Westside Fire Department. The Regional District of Central Okanagan has hired Doug Gardiner to be the department’s full-time chief. This comes two months after long time chief Wayne Carson resigned over a battle with

the district. “As far as I’m concerned, this should bring the conflict to an end,” said Jim Edgson, area director. Gardiner has been acting as the department’s interim chief since early August. “I’ve been watching Doug and communicating with some of the firefighters and I am very impressed with him,” said Edgson.

“In talking to some of the firefighters, they want Doug to stay.” Carson, who had been chief for 19 years, resigned Sept. 16, claiming he had no choice given allegations and job changes being made by the district. He was originally suspended by the regional district for three days in June but details around that circumstance have never been made public. He then returned to duties

after the suspension but a leave of absence began July 8. RDCO has stated Carson requested the leave but Carson has denied that. Gardiner has 27 years experience as a firefighter and he retired as assistant chief in charge of training in Saanich. “Morale in the department has remained high,” said Bruce Smith, RDCO communications officer. “Since August, when Doug began, we have had four new and two previous members join the department.” Carson continues to insist that he was treated unfairly by the regional district. “I defended the projects on the fire department’s books before some regional district staff arrived,” he said, adding that dispute was more personality based than a personnel matter. Carson says he has no plans to sue RDCO even though, he claims, some challenges remain. “They have refused me a letter of reference,” he said.

The art of negotiating yourself out of a bully/victim scenario

egotiations, in my experience, are more of an art d gthan a science. Having embarked on an uninvited negotiation e Gthat started with some dsort of gunk being squirted on my wife’s boots, I ewas less than impressed twith the artistry of the ,fellow my wife and I encountered on a New Orleans street corner this past week. . Faced with generous gobs of goo on the toes of seach of my wife’s boots, I ,saw little alternative but to take the fellow up on his offer to smear them off. No price was mentioned, by the way, for this boot polishing “service.” After taking the less than 60 seconds it took to smear off the mess, the fellow announced his price of $40. t I no longer do legal nwork by the hour, but the hourly rate I used to echarge doesn’t hold a candle to this guy’s rate. At $40 per minute, I’d say he “charges like a rwounded bull.” t My wife, who begcame uncomfortable immediately on the gobs of

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott goo landing on her boots, or perhaps before that, “abandoned ship” and headed across the street when it became apparent that I wasn’t about to reach into my pocket to match his demand. I politely reminded the fellow that no rate had been agreed upon, and that I would not have agreed to pay anything had I been given the choice. I did find the experience oddly amusing and had taken a picture; surely, the experience held some value. Feeling compelled to make an offer of some amount of money, I told him that I would pay him $5. This was not a welcomed negotiating move. The fellow responded with offended indignation that included mov-

ing his much larger chest close to mine, enunciating his words with an emphatic flare that caused me to benefit from bits of his mouth lubrication, and taking the gob-dispenser into his hand with a comment that he would use it as a “shampoo.” We made progress, though. At the end of his flurry, he counter-offered at $20. On the one hand, the larger statured man seemed to have little to lose and I didn’t relish the prospect of having my evening ruined by being thumped. On the other hand, we were on a busy street corner and he wasn’t going to get any money out of me at all unless I willingly handed it over. Maximizing his negotiating position, the near toothless fellow clarified our physical inequity stating, as if to convince me into submission: “I’m a 400 pound (insert racial indicator here) man.” He was being a bully. I felt confident that I understood where he was coming from. All he wanted was a

hand-out, and we both knew that even a very small hand out was much more than he was going to get from imposing his size or “shampoo” against me. My wife was waiting for me, safely, on the other side of the street. She’s not one for confrontation. Not many people are, in my experience. We will avoid the bully at almost any cost, and in most life circumstances we don’t have enough knowledge of the playing field nor the confidence to stare a bully down. Fortunately, unless you are on the streets of New Orleans facing a big fellow with a handful of gunk, we all have access to the great equalizer of bullies—the Supreme Court of British Columbia. However mammoth and imposing the bully may seem, our court sys-

tem provides the hammer that can bring even the strongest bully to justice. Stand tall. Don’t let yourself be the cowering victim on the other side of

the street when it comes to your legal rights. Oh, and I strongly recommend that you look the other way if a stranger approaches you on the

streets of New Orleans. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

cided),” said Pritchard Drive property owner Richard Lang. “It will go a long way to reducing the fears of the membership and owners.” Dale Pilling of D.E. Pilling & Assoc. Ltd. Consulting Engineers expressed several concerns regarding proposed zoning bylaw changes. First, Pilling said the draft bylaw proposes the multi-family site known as Treasureview Estates on Shannon Lake Road be designated as a low density multiple residential zone (R3), despite the lengthy process council went through to approve R3A zoning for the area. He added the owners spent over $250,000 constructing a left-turn lane at the entrance to the development, curb, gutter and sidewalk fronting the property and a pedestrian bridge over McDougall Creek in advance of developing the property. “R3 eliminates all the uses you approved,” said Pilling. “To have that shown on there as R3 is ri-

diculous,” Pilling said. He added the draft zoning bylaw has incorrectly labelled several other properties as R3, including Terravita apartment complex, an area on Shannon Lake Golf Course that has an apartment building on it and a property on Saddleback Way, which Westville Homes plans to develop a multi-family site on. “Whoever did up the zoning plan, as far as the R3 zone is concerned, obviously never walked around Westbank,” said

Pilling. “Why don’t we get the thing right in the first place and have the zone match what’s actually on the site.” Grant Maddock was supportive of changes included in the draft zoning bylaw, especially the smaller lots the zoning bylaw would permit in the R1 zone. “I very much support smaller lots,” said Maddock. “I think there’s a good opportunity for some parcels in Lakeview (Heights), and all over West Kelowna, to be subdivided.” A total of 18 speakers took the opportunity to add their input at the public hearing. If council opts to make any change in use or density during third reading, a second public hearing will be scheduled. “I feel the second public hearing may be appropriate,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Tom Wilson CONTRIBUTOR

When Kelowna citizens were asked by Ipsos Reid last February about qualities and characteristics they value in their ideal city, they put safety first, good recreation facilities/opportunities second and good parks and green space third. Parks in particular were found to be a major influence on citizens’ perceptions about their quality of life in Kelowna. And with 96 per cent of residents rating their quality of life in Kelowna as good to very good, our parks system deserves a lot of credit for that. A main objective of the City of Kelowna is to build and maintain the amenities and services that give us the best quality of life we can afford. One of the budget balancing acts the city does every year involves adding and maintaining new services and amenities while trying to keep costs under control. As a city that welcomes up to 2,000 new residents every year, ser-

vices and amenities tend to grow every year to keep up with demand. Last year’s Citizens Survey confirmed a multiyear trend that shows most Kelowna residents (57 per cent) actually prefer to pay a little more in taxes to maintain or expand services compared to those who would cut services to reduce or freeze taxes (34 per cent). Look at parks again. Last year, the parks services department had many new landscaping and park maintenance areas added to the 1,100 hectares of public space it already had to maintain. The added amenities for 2013 included Mountainside Park, Hill Spring Park, Barlee Park, Shetland Park, Poplar Point shoreline restoration, Parkinson Activity Centre landscaping, Lochview trail and beach access, McKinley Mountain Park, Southridge open space trails, new pathways at the Ponds, Gopher Creek, Powerline Park Phase 3, and landscaping at the new Lawrence Avenue boulevard gardens, landscaping in

new medians and traffic islands at the Ponds, Highway 97, Farron Crescent and the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre parking lot. Contracting out some work is one of the ways Kelowna has kept up with demand while keeping costs under control. Basic park maintenance, meter reading, security patrols, some road and building maintenance —these can be contracted to the private sector. This provides good value for citizens and supports local businesses. The city strives for a balance between contracted services and staff remuneration. Staff account for 26 per cent of operating expenditures, while fees to contractors account for 25 per cent of expenditures. Maintaining some of the lowest residential and business taxes in the province takes thoughtful planning and management in an expanding city amid continually rising costs. Reserve funds built up over the years have helped maintain standards, al-

though some deferred work and minor service cuts came with budgets following the worldwide economic slowdown. Revenues from development are not growing at the pace they were in the boom years, but the maintenance and replacement costs remain constant for all those new parks, trails and landscaped medians and traffic islands, new roads to sweep and plow, along with added demand for water and sewage treatment. Still, tax increases have averaged a modest 2.56 per cent over the last decade. Why do taxes go up? Because, even without adding any new services or facilities, the cost of maintaining or replacing what we currently have increases with the basic cost of living. As a growing city with residents who prefer services and amenities that enhance their quality of life, mapping out a longterm plan to manageably finance that growth keeps Kelowna among the most financially responsible cities in B.C. Tom Wilson is a communications supervisor for the City of Kelowna.

Hazmat response to flour dump

The Kelowna Fire Department decided it was better to be safe than sorry Wednesday morning when they pulled out their Hazmat gear to deal with a pile of flour that had been left at Davie Road Park. A City of Kelowna worker initially spotted the dusting. The fire department hazardous materials team was brought to the scene along with fire crews. The product was found to be flour for baking. Said Kelly Stephens, Kelowna Fire Department Platoon Captain: “With the advice from our emergency response advisor all precautions were taken today on this call because of not knowing what product or chemicals we were dealing with.”

for over 30 years. Unfortunately, with chronic exposure, up to 95 per cent of lead is deposited to the bones. Bone lead is released to soft tissues when bone remodelling occurs, and more rapidly during times of growth, menopausal hormone changes and osteoporosis. As such, I always recommend heavy metal testing and treatment for women prior to menopause and prior to conceiving children to reduce the risk of miscarriage, as well as reducing lead transfer to the fetus and infant via placenta and breastfeeding. Deficiency of zinc, calcium or iron, common during pregnancy and menopause, may also increase lead uptake. With increasing lead concentration, the following can occur: Impaired Vitamin D metabolism, effects on iron capacity,

Emina Jasarevic headache, decreased nerve conduction velocity, metallic taste, loss of appetite, constipation, nausea, anxiety, abdominal pain, frank anemia, fine tremors, kidney damage, mild to severe numbness, muscle and joint pain, and tingling in the hands and feet and encephalopathy (brain damage). Common sources of lead include dust in the home and soil around the home; ceramics (dishes, bowls, etc.); hair dye and red lipsticks (confirmed by studies from Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and the FDA); vinyl products (power cords, Christmas tree lights, etc.—look

for the yellow warning label); hobbies (painting, bullets, lead soldiers, indoor firing ranges). Most lead contamination occurs via oral ingestion of contaminated food or water or by children mouthing or eating lead-containing substances. Lead and other heavy metals can be tested with a naturopathic physician. In fact, in the last 10 years, published research has clearly shown how laboratory levels of lead are grossly elevated and troublesome in both children and adults. Based on lab results, an individualized treatment plan can be tailored to each individual and include chelation therapy, detoxification support, a nutrient program, dietary recommendations and reducing future exposures.

No time of year has as many traditions as the Christmas season. Back in the 1930s and ’40s, my dad’s horsedrawn sleigh rides became a tradition for many Kelowna residents. Then starting in 1962, our nursery created a tradition by staging their first Christmas open house, which carried on for more than three decades. Way back in the 1920s there was a tradition of buying and forcing Chinese paper white Narcissus provided by a Chinese gentleman who imported them here from the Orient in time to peddle them from his cart up and down the streets of Kelowna. Most of those older traditions are now just memories many of us cherish as today we enjoy new traditions that families can take part in. Church organizations such as the Latter Day Saints in Glenmore and the Willow Park Church on Highway 33, each stage an elaborate Christmas display and invite the public to enjoy them. Another Christmas event that has now become a tradition is the Arrival of Santa in his helicopter at Bylands Garden Centre in West Kelowna. That will happen again this year at 11a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 30. There will be entertainment featuring a chorus of Christmas carollers and guitar players as well as hot chocolate and hot dogs served with the proceeds going to local non-profits. As well, non-perishable food items can be dropped off for donation to the Westside food bank. Christmas trees have been a tradition for centuries and a tradition that has gained more and more in popularity is to go to the tree farm to choose a fresh cut tree.

No challenge too big for RSS troupe Snow Queen Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There are a lot of “if”s in Rutland Senior Secondary’s new play, although the production is shaping up to be anything but iffy. If it were not for their new director, the students might never seen the play and if it were not for their guts, and clear belief in their ability as a group, they might not have stepped up to the plate to give it a shot. Thankfully, both elements aligned. Taking on a huge challenge by tackling Emma Burden, an adult-oriented fairytale about a young woman who discovers her future is cursed on the eve of her wedding, the 20-member cast, and their crew, are working with an unknown title that poses some serious theatrical challenges— like climbing a tree on stage. “I’m really proud of them because it’s a play that nobody knows anything about and yet they went for it,” said Bonnie Gratz, who is teaching the class and directing the production. Gratz launched her own theatre company, New Vintage Theatre, in Kelowna last year and is standing in to cover a maternity leave in the school’s theatre department. This play was written by her former colleague, Ellen Chorley, and is something Gratz had stored in the back of her mind as a perfect challenge for a high school class with talented actors. Chorley’s play weaves a somewhat dark tale of two young twins, a brother and sister, who discover their father left the family in order to save them from a curse. On the eve of the sister’s wedding, she finds a note outlining her father’s fate and discovers she too might be doomed should she marry her true love. This launches brother and sister, Will and Emma, into an epic adventure in which they attempt to sort out the curse while encountering a string of characters, some who help, others who hinder their progress.

of options to her Advanced Theatre Production class and letting them whittle down the options.

In the end, this play—which she describes as The Princess Bride meets The Hobbit—was stacked up against popular stage choices like Dracula and a funky version of Edward Scissorhands and, much to her surprise, it won out. Even one of the lead’s was a bit flabbergasted. “I actually wasn’t one of the one’s who wanted to do it,” said Sydney Cunningham, who plays Emma. “It’s kind of scary because it’s such a large play and I didn’t think we would be able to represent it well, but I actually think we’ve done a really good job,” she said. Her counterpart, Grade 12 student Adam Weaver, said he didn’t even really like playing the brother, Will, at first as he’s completely the opposite to his own personality, brushing on abrasive with his bravado and lack of interest in the curse. Will, a knight by trade, won Weaver over with his desire to be the big, protective older brother. As he works his way through the storyline, the twin becomes less of a showboat and starts to be an asset to his sister’s effort to untangle the family predicament. While the twins seek out the reason for their family curse their lives intersect with those of the King, played by Troy Rogers, and Queen, May Lowe, of the magic world of Dartagon. A housekeeper, played by Dana Murphy, tries to help them, as does an Abbott from a nearby Abbey, Ronan Bradford. Audiences watch as the twins tackle encounters with terrible beasts and are shown inside the lives of those who have suffered terrible fates, like Adam Burden, played by Corey Kellerman, and the twins’ father Andrew Desjardins. The play runs at Rutland Senior Secondary school, for two nights only, this Thursday, Nov. 28 and Friday Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5, call Rutland Senior Secondary at 250-870-5110 for more information.

t is hard to believe that it was almost a quarter century ago that Disney had its last hit based upon a Hans Christian Andersen tale. In 1989, The Little Mermaid reaffirmed the Walt Disney Company as the leader in animation and

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis many attempts were made to make another Andersen tale, The Snow Queen, into another hit. In fact, as far back as the 1940s, Disney himself was trying to adapt the story into an animated film but was never satisfied with any concept. Even the talent behind Beauty and the Beast could not find a way to turn Andersen’s dark tale into an animated musical. However, after the success of Tangled, Disney announced that The Snow Queen was indeed being made with the title Frozen, and the director would be Chris Buck (Tarzan, Surf’s Up), who helped design the characters for The Little Mermaid. Frozen features the voice of Kristen Bell as Princess Anna, who must go on an icy journey to

find her sister, “The Ice Queen” Elsa, whose powers have trapped the kingdom in an eternal winter. And it looks the decades of work have paid off as critics are comparing it to some of Disney’s best. If you look closely at the credits for Homefront, what stands out more than stars Jason Statham, James Franco, Kate Bosworth and Winona Ryder is Sylvester Stallone as writer and producer. However, keep in mind that Stallone was nominated for an Academy Award for writing Rocky. Statham gets to flex his action star muscles as an ex-DEA agent who retires to a small town for the sake of his 10-yearold daughter. Franco gets to play the heavy, a drug kingpin who makes Statham’s retirement less than quiet. Based upon the novel of the same name, The Book Thief tells the story of a spirited young girl sent to live with a foster family in WWII Germany. Intrigued by the only book she brought with her, she learns to read while collecting more books and creates a magical world in a time of tragedy. Starring Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson, the young girl is played by Canadian Sophie Nelisse, who gained attention in last year’s Monsieur

Roster reduced with Nyberg’s departure Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

MARISSA BAECKER/SHOOTTHEBREEZE

FORWARD Henrik Nyberg is leaving the Kelowna Rockets to return home to Sweden.

With 13 forwards remaining on their roster—including 12 healthy ones—the Kelowna Rockets still have enough able bodies to fill the lineup sheet on a nightly basis. However, head coach Ryan Huska says the departure of Henrik Nyberg this week isn’t a welcome development for the WHL club. “It hurts us for a few reasons,” Huska said of the Swedish-born forward’s decision to leave the team. “For one thing, he helped with our depth and he was a valuable player in that regard. For another thing, he could really skate and, although he wasn’t putting the puck in the net, he pressured other team’s defensemen into turnovers and as a team we took advantage of that. Henrik will be missed.” The team announced Tuesday that Nyberg, 19, had decided to return to his hometown of Danderyd, Sweden. A pick of the Rockets in the 2012 CHL import draft, Nyberg had just three assists in 21 games for the WHL team this season, a factor that Huska says may have played a role in his decision to leave the club. “I think it may have helped him come to a realization that he maybe didn’t have a future in North America,” Huska said.

“He didn’t quite have the same fire he had last year when he arrived. It was a decision he felt was best for his hockey career.” Nyberg posted the following comments on Twitter: “I’d like to thank the entire @Kelowna_Rockets organization for my time here in Kelowna! All the great people I’ve met and memories I’ve made! I will never forget this chapter of my life! All the best with the rest of the season.” Rockets forward Zach Franko expressed his regret on the loss of Nyberg, via Twitter. “Gonna miss one of the best teammates anyone can dream of having,” Franko wrote. With Nyberg’s departure and current injuries to Mitch Wheaton (upper body) and Austin Glover (ankle), the Rockets have 21 healthy bodies, just one above the nightly roster limit. “As coaches, you’d like to have a few more bodies available to hang over player’s heads, to challenge them to stay in the lineup,” he said. Kelowna returns to action this weekend with a home-and-home set against the Blazers, beginning Friday night in Kamloops. Saturday’s game faces off at 7:05 p.m. at Prospera Place. The Rockets (17-3-0-2) have won 10 of their last 11 games.

Warriors unable to solve rival Vees

The Penticton Vees continue to be an unsolvable puzzle for the West Kelowna Warriors. The Warriors are now 0-for-3 this season against their Interior Division rivals after falling 3-2 to the Vees Tuesday in BCHL action at Royal LePage Place. Jordan Masters gave the Warriors a 2-0 lead with a pair of goals before the game was seven minutes old.

But the Vees responded with three straight markers, including two on the power play, while the Warriors’ special teams’ woes continued as they came up empty on five power play chances. “I’ve said before special teams come down to coaching but it’s certainly not because we haven’t put a lot of time and a lot of effort into it,” said Warriors’ coach Rylan Ferster.

“As a staff we have, so I don’t want to throw anybody under the bus. It’s unfortunate right now.” Paul Stoykewych, Ben Dalpe and Brad McClure, with the winner at 2:28 of the third, scored for Penticton who outshot West Kelowna 35-24, including 16-2 in the second period. The loss was the Warriors (14-10-1-2) sixth in nine games in November, dropping their record dur-

ing the month to 2-6-1-0. West Kelowna remains tied with Salmon Arm for fourth in the Interior Division with 31 points, three behind thirdplace Merritt and four in back of the second-place Vernon Vipers. The Vees (16-6-1-3) lead the division by one over Vernon. The Warriors return to action Saturday night when they host Langley, 7 p.m. at LePage.

Heat hoops teams home to T’Wolves The UBC Okanagan Heat men will be seeking their first win of the Canada West basketball season this weekend when they play host to the UNBC Timberwolves. The teams will square off Friday (8 p.m.) and Saturday at the Kelowna campus gym. The Heat (0-8) came close to breaking the goose-egg again last weekend, but lost both games in Alberta. On Friday in Lethbridge, the Pronghorns dropped the Heat 81-76. UBCO had a solid game shooting the ball, connecting on 15 of 30 tries from three-point range, but in the end it wasn’t enough to earn the win. “It was a great effort on the road,” sais Heat men’s basketball coach Pete Guarsaci “Lethbridge is a very tough

place to play and I thought we played great.” Fifth-year guard Landry Nadyitwayeko kept the Heat within striking distance in the second half, scoring a game high 26 points on a smoldering 9 of 11 from the field, including an amazing stretch where he missed just once from behind the arc on eight shots. On Saturday, another narrow defeat as the Calgary Dinos beat the Heat 75-69. Guard Yassine Ghomari netted a team-high 20 points on 8-17 shooting while also grabbing a team-high seven rebounds. James Lum added 13 points and three steals. The Heat went cold down the stretch of the fourth quarter, and a combination of unfortunate turnovers and lapses in defensive plays allowed

the Dinos to extend a 6562 lead at 2:42 to 72-62 with 26 seconds left.

On Friday, Lethbridge jumped out to 29-7 half time lead, then routed the ice-cold UBCO squad 7748. After the Heat scored the game’s opening basket, they would only score two more field goals the entire half and post a dismal 10 per cent (3-30) shooting from the field.

HEAT ATHLETICS

LANDRY Ndaytiwayeko was a red hot 7 for 8 from beyond the arc, but it was not enough in the Heat’s loss to Lethbridge Friday evening in Canada West basketball action.

“We tried everything in the first half, we were at our wits end,” said Heat head coach Heather Semeniuk. For the Heat, Emily Kanester and Claire Elliott each had 12 points, while Sarah Allison recorded 10 in the loss. On Saturday, Semeniuk saw an improved effort from her side despite a 72-52 loss to the Calgary Dinos. Once again poor shooting marred the Heat’s chances of finding victory number two, as they could only manage 17 of 73 attempts from the field. Fourth-year post Krystal Schouten led the Heat’s stat-sheet with nine points and four boards, while rookie guard Claire Elliott also chipped in nine points.

Lions fall to Abbotsford in junior bantam playoffs

Though it wasn’t enough to prolong their season, coach Corwyn aKlak is confident his Ke-lowna Mission Lions gave sit everything they had on .Sunday afternoon. - The high-powered sAbbotsford Falcons downed the Lions 61-16 on the CNC turf in the -B.C. junior bantam semifinal, handing the Kelownna team its first loss of the season. The Southern Inter.ior Football Conference champion Lions were the ronly team all year to score more than two touch-

downs in a game against a dominant Abby squad. “The Mission Lions played their hearts out and never quit playing until the final whistle, they represented the SIFC with pride and dignity,” said coach Corwyn Klak. The Lions went 10-0 during the regular season, then defeated the West Kelowna Sun Devils to capture the SIFC title. The Falcons will play the South Delta Rams for the B.C. junior bantam title.

As many as one in five adults experience IBS. It’s not known exactly what causes irritable bowel syndrome. It may be due to food being moved too quickly or too slowly through the intestinal tract, causing gas, bloating and diarrhea or constipation. Abnormalities in the nervous system or colon may play a role in IBS. Certain foods, stress, hormones, and illnesses may trigger IBS symptoms. Because it’s not clear what causes irritable bowel syndrome, western medical treatment focuses on the relieving of symptoms.

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman have only mild symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome that can be managed by learning to better deal with stress and making changes to diet and lifestyle. However, sometimes symptoms can be disabling and may not respond well to medical treatment. Acupuncture offers a positive option for IBS sufferers. Often irritable bowel syndrome is used as a catch-all phrase for all cases of abdominal pain which do not have another explanation. In Chinese medicine, the various cases of IBS do not fall into one broad disease category, but are broken down into many different disorders because the causes can be so varied. This is why individual symptoms may vary so greatly from person to person, because the underlying problem is usually very different for

each person. In Chinese medicine terms, IBS may be classified as a type of abdominal/intestinal pain, epigastric/stomach pain (occurring in roughly half of IBS sufferers), or as a type of diarrhea, depending on the individual symptoms experienced. For IBS with abdominal/intestinal pain, the cause is usually due to the liver-energy becoming blocked, which may further cause problems with the spleen’s digestive functions. The blocked liver-energy causes symptoms of bloating, constipation, and belching, as well as moodiness and irritability, symptoms which may be aggravated by emotional upset. If the spleen is also involved, there will also be fatigue and alternation of constipation with diarrhea. Acupuncture treatment helps to move the liver-energy in order to resolve the retention of food, relieve pain and improve digestion, and corrects spleen functioning to resolve diarrhea and improve energy. For IBS with epigastric/stomach pain, the

cause can be due to a variety of different imbalances with the stomach, leading to improper or incomplete digestion of food. This can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from pain, nausea and vomiting, to belching, headaches, diarrhea, or constipation. The specific symptoms experienced will depend on the specific problem that is occurring with the stomach, whether it is due to heat or cold damaging the stomach, or because the stomach-energy is blocked. In any case, acupuncture can help the stomach to function properly so that digestion is corrected, resolving symptoms. Acupuncture offers very effective relief for IBS sufferers, relieving the symptoms of the condition as well as helping to resolve symptoms and prevent future flareups, allowing those with IBS to live a more regular, symptom-free life.

Bust’n Loose with cancer donations Jeaneen Rudolph CONTRIBUTOR

Bust’n Loose is a Kelowna breast cancer survivor dragon boat team which has donated funds to the IB Rapid program at British Columbia Cancer Centre—Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Centre for the Southern Interior for the last three years. Bust’n Loose does fundraising to pay for activities such as dragon boat festivals which the team participates in throughout the year. The only qualification is that you are a breast cancer survivor. We are all-inclusive and use our funds to ensure that anyone wanting to participate in this team will not be restricted for financial reasons. In 2010, the team attended the International Breast Cancer Dragon Boat Festival in Peterborough, Ont., along with 73 other teams and came in ninth. We plan to attend the 2014 festival in Sarasota, Fla. Every year, a fundraising event proceeds are donated to a breast cancer related cause. For the past three years, half of the proceeds from the Boob Tour fundraiser (our most lucrative fundraiser) was donated to the RAPID-Breast Cancer Navigator Program at the Southern Interior cancer centre. For donation purposes, our team approaches the B.C. Cancer Agency Foundation office with a request for their wish list and chooses a breast cancer cause to donate to. At the end of the year if our fundraising has been particularly successful, further proceeds are donated to cancer centre wish list items or programs. In addition, our team generously donates their time and money to other community fundraising activities. Next year’s Boob Tour dates are confirmed and tickets are available for Christmas giving. If you would like to support our team’s efforts team, email jrudolph@ bccancer.bc.ca or call 250 712-3966, local 686811.

Every little princess deserves a pretty little hand knit jacket. Today’s pattern shows easy eyelets highlighted with a leafy effect all around the back and front with borders done in a 2 X 2 rib stitch. Knit in Sirdar’s “Snuggly DK” it requires 2 to 5 – 50 gram balls in the V-Neck version and 3 to 5 balls in the Shawl Collar Cardigan version. Step-by-step knitting instructions for this pattern are given in 5 sizes ranging from age 6 months to 7 years. The 6/7 age group can wear this as a school cardigan. “Snuggly DK” is composed of 55% nylon/45% acrylic, is machine washable and has 62 shades. Alternate DK yarns can be used, such as “Snuggly Baby Bamboo DK”, “Snuggly Baby Speckle”, and “Snuggly Kisses”.

vestment. If the company makes an annual income of more than the $500,000 small business deduction limit, you can bonus out to the owner/employee the excess to take advantage of the small business tax savings. If your income is not that high and you need all of your income for personal expenses, you can bonus out your entire income. You can participate in a Personal Services Health Plan and have your health expenses returned to you at 100 per cent (subject to some limitations). You can decide to let the corporation pay the taxes on the entire income and pay out dividends to the shareholders. Or, you can combine any of the above options. You need to consider your long-range plan when deciding whether to bonus or dividend earnings and how much to bonus. It can be a catch 22 because you may want to save paying taxes, however, you may want to show increased revenues and net income if you are trying to sell your business or apply for financing. Reducing taxes in the first five years of your business will definitely provide you with cash flow that you will be able to reinvest in your business for future growth. You can also pay year-

end bonuses to your employees to reduce your taxable income. They will need to report the bonuses on their current tax return and you will need to make sure that the required source deductions are remitted to Canada Revenue Agency before the deadline. These bonuses could also be payments directly into their RRSP savings plans. There can be a bit of a tax deferral if you do not need the funds from your corporation. You can let the corporation pay the tax, and then take the funds out as needed, paying the personal taxes at that time. You will need to account for both sides of the Canada Pension Plan deductions if you are an active owner/employee under the age of 66. You can apply for an exemption if you are over 65 and under 71 and still working. You can deduct a reasonable salary that is paid to family members for working in your business. You might have a family member performing website maintenance, janitorial duties or administrative duties. Also, if you have been paying EI for your family members, you can apply to the CRA for a refund. If you need equipment in your business, you can purchase that equipment before the year end and receive 50 per cent of the annual capital cost allow-

ance on your corporate tax return that will help to reduce taxes payable. If you are in a loss position, it may be better to elect not to take any CCA on your assets making that deduction available for future tax years instead of increasing the tax losses carried forward. If you are in a research and development business, you may qualify for the Scientific Research Experimental Development Credit. The rules are changing as effective Jan. 1, 2014, capital assets will no longer qualify for the credit, so it would be a good idea to purchase any assets that you might require before the year-end. You can pay out eligible dividends rather than ordinary dividends out of the corporation to use up any available GRIP balance. The payment of eligible dividends will require notification by way of a letter to the shareholders, or an inclusion in the board of directors’ minutes. You may have excess funds in your Capital Dividend account that may be available for a tax free dividend to the shareholders. Alternatively, if you have investments in the company you can flow through those shares to the shareholders as a dividend and receive the Refundable Dividend Tax On Hand. If you provide services to a small number of clients through a corporation and have less than five employees, the CRA may classify you as a Personal Service Business, which does not qualify for the Small Business Tax Deduction.

THE COMPETITION will be fast and furious for the 8th annual Western Canada Junior RoboCup taking place Friday at Okanagan College, thanks in part to an $8,000 donation from Telus.

Telus dials in for RoboCup event About 200 elementary and secondary students across the Okanagan will be putting their robots through the paces this year in more RoboCup challenges than ever, thanks to a generous donation from Telus. Telus has donated $8,000 to the Okanagan College Foundation, and the money has been used to create new competition platforms so that young students of all ages interested in technology can compete with their robots in any one of the three categories—dance, soccer or rescue. Now in its eighth year, the Western Canada RoboCup Junior competition takes place Friday, Nov. 29, starting at 9 a.m., at the Kelowna campus on KLO Road. “This donation has made a huge difference

for us this year,” said Electronic Engineering Technology chair Nadir Ould-Khessal, who organizes the event. “We’ve been able to build four new platforms —two for rescue and the others for soccer, which means no matter what age a student is they can compete in all three categories. The most popular are rescue and soccer, and this year we have 70 teams signed up for those categories. It’s going to be a busy day,” Ould-Khessal said. Steve Jenkins, Telus general manager for Interior South BC, said his company sees value in RoboCup inspiring youngsters and teens to consider technical training as a promising career choice. “RoboCup provides a great platform to showcase technology and innovation in a high energy format that promotes creativity,” Jenkins said. “Telus, through its health division, has a major interest in what the future holds for people with technical skills—like robotics—who can work in partnership with the medical community to develop very sophisticated surgical/medical equipment.” For a complete schedule of the day’s events, visit the RoboCup Junior website at www.okanagan.bc.ca/robocup.

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection November 2013

Youth forum encourages change By: Allison Brown My generation will change the world. It is already happening with organizations like Free the Children and new, innovative programs engaging and utilizing social media. The world is ready to see technology change the world and teens are uniting behind their computers to do it. But before we can collectively support an idea, the idea has to solve a problem and have a legitimate solution. On Nov. 20, about 120 students and community members gathered at MBSS for the third annual West Kelowna Mayor’s Youth Forum to kick start change. As an involved youth, I take pride in seeing students reaching out to their community and the community eagerly reciprocating to achieve a higher goal that will benefit all. The purpose of the forum was to bring together students with city and

community members to brainstorm solutions to problems facing West Kelowna youth. The forum was hosted by Boucherie’s Mrs. Irene Maier, school counsellor, Mrs. Jennifer Mackereth, school counsellor and head teacher of the Student Voice Council, and the students of Boucherie. Last year, the forum resulted in the creation of the Student Voice Council, a school group that works year round with West Kelowna’s City Council to better the Westside for youth. The council identifies issues facing youth based on their personal experiences and the input from other students. This year, the council identified five main issues facing youth and potential solutions that were discussed at the forum. They included: Youth Safety and Security, Transportation, Youth Awards and Recognition, Communication,

Christy Clark visits MBSS By: Shannon Evans There are many schools that can only dream of having a political figure such as Christy Clark visit their school. For MBSS, it became a reality Nov. 13, thanks to Mr. Hudson, social studies teacher at school. Christy Clark’s journey to becoming a political figure was quite inspiring. Although she did not win in her own riding, she didn’t give up and was able to take the place of Ben Stew-

art. Premier Clark brought the well-known anti-bullying “Pink Shirt Campaign” to British Columbia to raise awareness of issues related to bullying in our schools, workplaces, and communities. As Premier Clark entered the room, many faces lit up. This was an opportunity that most people normally wouldn’t have. She was asked a wide variety of questions. Anything from her view on legalizing marijuana to

expected to lead the discussions. The tables had a variety of people ranging from fellow students to West Kelowna council members to RCMP officers. The student leader guided each table through the discussion topics, raising pressing questions and asking for input. At the end of each topic discussion period, Mrs. Maier asked one representative from each table to stand and explain their concerns and solutions. For example, my table had three students, a West Kelowna city manager, and Christy Clark’s representative. My table was asked to speak about the topic Youth Recognition and so I stood and explained my table would like to see an awards ceremony put on by West Kelowna to recognize the culture of the Westside schools. Specifically, acknowledging the students talented in art or drama and maybe featuring them

post-secondary schooling; she answered them all. At the very end of the assembly Premier Clark took photos with both bleachers of students and individual students if they wanted. It was great to see her making connections with everyone, not just the people who can vote but those who will soon be voting. Overall it was an amazing experience to listen to Premier Clark, and on behalf of MBSS, we do hope she will visit again.

WEST COAST FIRST NATIONS paddles created by the MBSS First Nations Art Studio class are made from Western Red Cedar. Although the imagery follows the traditional West Coast designs they are each original designs created by the student artists, hand painted and varnished. This project took about three weeks from creating a design, cutting and shaping the wood to the final coats of varnish. The shapes of the paddles are quite different than western paddles, they have a broader blade and a flattened handle.

Change is in the making

By: Kassidie Cornell Change is all around us and my grade 12 social justice class is contributing. As a class, we decided to take part in a brand new social entrepreneurship competition that was held in Kelowna: Okanagan Changemakers. This non-profit organization is made up of likeminded individuals focused on making a measurable impact by helping to solve social problems through collaboration, mentorship, and action. The ultimate goal is to make the community and world a better place by supporting passionate, innovative, and entrepreneurial individuals and organizations who are innovating for social change. There were four categories at the competition: Youth Led Venture, Non-profit, For-profit, and Established Registered Charity. Each category competed by pitching the goals of their organization and were awarded cash prizes along with mentorship opportunities. Our teacher, Mrs. Kehler, challenged our class to come up with a project we were passionate about in order to enter the contest. My class was able

to design two outstanding projects. We did not win a spot presenting, but we were given the opportunity to set up a booth to showcase our projects, thanks to Jeff Hoffart from Changemakers. This was a great way to get our projects out and into the community to show what was going on in Kelowna and what potential changes could be made in order to find better solutions to local injustices. One of our groups focused on body image. Their initiative focused on three main issues: body image, self-esteem, and healthy relationships. Their outreach program will be aimed mainly at girls and young women in schools. They plan to make presentations to middle school girls and educate them on the importance of healthy self-esteem. The group that I was involved with was Youth Outreach. This is an organization in partnership with HOPE Outreach. Our mission is to increase awareness of sex trafficking and women’s rights in the Okanagan as well as assist in the rehabilitation of women who have been exploited through sexual trafficking

and abuse. We would sell seasonal drinks at MBSS’s Global Village Store, a fair trade organic tea and coffee shop run by students for students, and donate the money to HOPE Outreach. We also plan to volunteer with HOPE Outreach and hand out basic necessities to women in need. Overall this was an incredible event. My class was able to network with hundreds of different community members and build bridges that will help to further advance our youth led ventures. I was very impressed by the students who won in the youth category because they each had well developed projects and had taken their ideas to levels that I never thought possible. The youngest competitor was a 10 year old boy who was the youngest in Canada to appear and win against the Dragons on CBC’s ‘Dragon’s Den’. His organization was called ‘Doogooders’ and he sells trading cards that challenge people to do good deeds. I felt so inspired to be in a room full of people who all have the same passion and drive as myself. Visit Changemakers: www. okanaganchangemakers.com.

on the West Kelowna website. The forum was two hours long and tackled many issues and will hopefully lead the way to a lot of solutions for youth. The Student Voice Council is working to create a summary of the forum to be presented at an upcoming West Kelowna council meeting. Two years ago, the major result from the forum was RCMP Liaison officer Sherri Lund, last year was the plan for the CNR Wharf project to revitalize Gellatly Bay and so all are excited to see what this year’s forum will produce. On behalf of the Student Voice Council, I’d like to thank Mrs .

ARTISTIC ENTRANCE…

Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Janine Lott and Jordon Coble, both Westbank First Nation artists, have created eight colourful original art banners that adorn the “Gateway” poles to Kelowna’s new-look Bernard Avenue at Richter Street. The banners, which carry the theme The Land is Our Culture, were commissioned by the city, which specifically sought First Nation’s art for the poles. The banners were unveiled Tuesday.

It was standing-room only as approximately 60 residents crowded into the lobby of West Kelowna council chambers Tuesday evening. The majority of those in attendance had concerns regarding the district’s draft zoning bylaw and proposed amendments to the Official Community Plan. The changes, which Coun. Rick de Jong earlier described as “a radical overhaul” to the existing zoning bylaw, will be the first since the zoning bylaw— inherited from the Regional District of the Central Okanagan—was last substantially reviewed in 2000. Many of the residents in attendance Tuesday night were concerned about the proposed P1 zoning for properties along Westside Cays Canal, which runs adjacent to Pritchard Drive. The district received 19 submissions regarding the zoning of the canal. The majority of those letters indicated P1 zoning does

overshoot,” he explained. It may be less obvious here where we live, but in some other parts of the world it’s quite clear, and yet we continue to take growth for granted, and consider kick-starting the economy a good thing. There’s been explosive growth in the past 150 to 200 years, compared to that of thousands of years prior, yet we take that as normal, when it’s actually the most abnormal of all time, he said. Instead we should aim to decrease growth; create an economic recession to decrease carbon emissions and avoid global warming.

not adequately accommodate the purpose and usage of the waterway. “A site specific zoning for this private waterway should be applied to more accurately accommodate its true purpose and usage,” wrote Jeffrey Shardelow, president of the Westside Cays Waterway Association. According to Nancy Henderson, general manager of development services, the draft zoning bylaw isn’t proposing any changes—the canal has been zoned P1 since at least 1981. Henderson recommended several options to council to ease the concerns of those living along the canal. During its regular meeting after the public hearing, council voted to include consideration of an amendment to the zoning of the canal to specifically permit the construction of docks for adjacent properties as part of the scope of the scheduled 2014 Water-

mate change. How can we be so at odds with our potential?” he questioned. Despite being a scientist, Rees says the most important things he has learned have nothing to do with science. For example, he says he’s learned that people are not primarily rational; that they accept new information only if it reinforces the status quo, and that reality is almost never as it seems. Peter Furth of North Eastern University in Boston talked about sustainable transportation, noting that bike-friendly communities are good for the climate and people.

People like to be able to walk and bike, and bike paths can reduce the use of cars and make a city more child-friendly. Mass cycling requires a connected network of low-traffic, low-stress bike routes with stand-alone paths and roadside bike paths with barriers to separate them from traffic. Although safe-cycling infrastructure is not cheap, he said it’s also not that expensive. Gerben van Straaten of Walas Concepts in the Netherlands told about their work re-using old buildings

Thistletown duo climb to national podium Two members of Kelowna’s Thistletown Boxing Club returned from Quebec City with some well-earned hardware. Austin Riggs won gold, while teammate Curtis Anderson captured a silver medal at the Canadian junior and youth boxing championships last weekend. Both local boxers are 15 and students at Mt. Boucherie Secondary School. Despite an injured back, Riggs battled through all of his bouts in the junior 63 kg class to claim the gold medal. “He fought very strong and aggressive boxers,” said Thistletown coach Graham McIntosh. “After tasting some of his powerful punches, they soon learned to settle down and think twice before coming straight at Austin.” With only seven bouts of experience, Curtis An-

Drive property owner Richard Lang. “It will go a long way to reducing the fears of the membership and owners.” Dale Pilling of D.E.

Pilling & Assoc. Ltd. Consulting Engineers expressed several concerns regarding proposed zoning bylaw changes. First, Pilling said the

draft bylaw proposes the multi-family site known as Treasureview Estates on Shannon Lake Road be designated as a low density multiple residen-

tial zone (R3), despite the lengthy process council went through to approve R3A zoning for the area. He added the owners spent over $250,000 con-

structing a left-turn lane at the entrance to the development, curb, gutter and sidewalk fronting the property and a pedestrian bridge over McDougall Creek in advance of developing the property. “R3 eliminates all the uses you approved,” said Pilling. “To have that shown on there as R3 is ridiculous.” He added the draft zoning bylaw has incorrectly labelled several other properties as R3, including Terravita apartment complex, an area on Shannon Lake Golf Course that has an apartment building on it and a property on Saddleback Way, which Westville Homes plans to develop a multi-family site on. “Whoever did up the zoning plan, as far as the R3 zone is concerned, obviously never walked around Westbank,” said Pilling. “Why don’t we get the thing right in the first

place and have the zone match what’s actually on the site.” Grant Maddock was supportive of changes included in the draft zoning bylaw, especially the smaller lots the zoning bylaw would permit in the R1 zone. “I very much support smaller lots,” said Maddock. “I think there’s a good opportunity for some parcels in Lakeview (Heights), and all over West Kelowna, to be subdivided.” A total of 18 speakers took the opportunity to add their input at the public hearing. If council opts to make any change in use or density during third reading, a second public hearing will be scheduled. “I feel the second public hearing may be appropriate,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade
