Chamber takes on new identity Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The Westbank and District Chamber of Commerce will now be known as: Greater Westside Board of Trade. Board of directors received final approval of the organization’s name change Thursday, Nov. 29. According to Norm LeCavalier, Greater Westside Board of Trade co-chair, the decision was made to give the former chamber “a lift.” “This process has taken almost a year to complete and we are very excited about launching our rebranding efforts as soon as possible,” said LeCavalier. “Since our AGM in January 2013, we have been moving in a positive direction and have received lots of support from the Greater Westside business community. Our goal is to develop an image that will create a higher profile throughout the Greater Westside.” LeCavalier said the rebranding will include a new logo and mission statement, which will be unveiled at the January 2014 annual general meeting. He added the move will allow the board of trade to broaden its scope and reach out to other chambers up the valley. Membership has increased from 250 to 340 since the chamber’s AGM last January. Co-chair Marek Buryska said the name change is about being inclusive. “This is an opportunity to represent all local businesses on the Westside, encompassing all of the local neighbourhoods like Lakeview Heights, Shannon Lake, downtown Westbank and businesses on Westbank First Nation lands,” said Buryska.

Christmas light show revived for the downtown core Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna’s downtown lakeshore may be lit up with Jerry Budnick’s Christmas light display this year after all.
The extravagant spectacle, which includes a mini moving Ferris wheel, animated displays, and colourful lights, was a yuletide staple outside Budnick’s Bridgeview Court home in Lakeview Heights for 13
years. But last year was Budnick’s finale and he donated the equipment to the Capri Rotary Club in Kelowna. A plan to erect it on the downtown lakeshore this Christmas hit a snag when the Rotary club learned
it would cost $70,000 to bring the display up to Canadian Standards Association requirements which are not applicable on private property. But the club now says the estimate was too high and at

New forest license worth millions Endangered species the result of habitat loss Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
A new forest licence has been awarded to the Westbank First Nation, in part of their traditional territory north of Big White. It will allow the band to harvest 32,400 cubic metres a year. The value of the new licence in timber sales could vary from the $40 a cubic metre or so that pulp wood receives, to a high of $80 a cubic metre for top-grade timber, and prices vary with the markets, explained WFN forestry manager Dave Gill. That would make the licence worth $1.44 to $2.56 million. The logs would be sold to either Tolko Industries or Gorman Brothers Lumber, and will include spruce and balsam, with a small amount of pine. A signing ceremony was held by the WFN Tuesday afternoon with Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson who said the licence will allow the WFN to participate further in what is a cornerstone of resource activity in B.C., the forest industry. WFN chief Robert Louie said the band has been managing a community forest licence on the west side of the lake since 2002 that is slightly larger, yielding 55,000 cubic metres, as well as another smaller licensed tenure near the one announced this week. It includes 9,000 hectares in a 16,000-ha area that is a traditional trapping area for the WFN, he said, and includes the area around Two John Lake, Derickson Lake, Mount Moore, Jubilee Mountain and St. Margaret Lake, near the Graystokes.

CELEBRATING the signing of a new forest license agreement is Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson (right), the MLA for Kelowna-Mission, and Westbank First Nation band chief Robert Louie. the band. In addition to the jobs and economic spinoffs there will be for the whole community and region, Louie said the band also brings its knowledge of the importance of protecting wildlife, plants and water resources in the area. “We are careful and prudent and take care of all things that form a part of our lands,” he commented. The licence is a 15year replaceable forest licence, which means it is likely to be renewed at the end of the 15 years, in perpetuity. That allows the band more certainty on the tenured land, and ensures good stewardship. “We take silviculture

seriously as well as wildlife. We’ve been managing the land with the needs of streams, lakes, plants all considered. Stewardship is extremely important,” commented Louie. This is the first such licence awarded to a first nations band in the Okanagan Timber Supply
Area, noted Thomson, but it is part of an ongoing plan to improve access to forest tenures for first nations people in the province. The industry has gone through one of the most difficult downturns in its history, but “we’ve built new markets and now we’re seeing a very positive outlook,” he commented. Gill said in the coming year a forest stewardship plan will be created, cut blocks planned out and when that’s completed, cutting will begin. The licence is the result of years of effort involving members of the band and the provincial government. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Consumer award winner 3 years in a row
Local wedding professionals tops in B.C. Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Not only were Tanya and Jon Garrett stunned when they discovered their wedding cake had been awarded best wedding cake B.C.—so were the more than 500 others involved in professional wedding work who attended last week’s awards in Vancouver. “It’s the first time the award has left the Lower Mainland,” commented Garrett, with a grin. Their firm, Whisk Cake Company on Rut-
land Road, was started four years ago by Tanya and she submitted five cakes in the wedding cake category of the B.C. Wedding Awards this year. To their surprise and delight, the 12-tier, fourfoot high wedding cake she made for their own wedding in September, 2012, is the one chosen by judges as the best in B.C. this year. The couple were in attendance at the awards, which include 26 categories from photography to floral design and which attracted 550 competitors.

TANYA Garrett shows off award plaque for her own
wedding cake being chosen as the best in the province by a panel of judges. “It was pretty awesome,” commented Jon. It’s mostly Vancouver-area professionals, so there was surprise that this year when four awards left the Lower Mainland and came to the Okanagan last week. Judges were brought in from a Toronto wedding magazine, as well as photographers and wedding planners, he said. Tanya said their own wedding cake was the ‘most showy’ of those she submitted, but it was particularly special to win because it was made to celebrate their own wedding. “But I put my heart and soul into all the cakes I make,” she added. She had to assemble her cake between her wedding and the reception, while still in her fulllength wedding gown. It involved climbing up on a ladder and having her bridesmaids pass her the tiers to complete the cake, she said.
They had made her a special apron to fit over the wedding dress, realizing she would be working at her own wedding. In addition to their award for a wedding cake, Yuriko Larson’s Vintage Origami wedding decor also brought a first place award back to Kelowna, and Chris and Elisha of Abby Photography in Kelowna brought back two top photography awards this year. The Garrett cake included eight cakes, some of which were spice carrot cakes with cream cheese butter cream while others were chocolate chiffon. “Wedding cakes are no long inedible, or fruit cakes. In fact, ours are all made of local, organic ingredients so they taste even better than they look,” said Tanya. “And this competition was based solely on looks. We submitted photos,” she added. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE
Solving B.C. skills shortage starts with the parents To promote skilled trades training as a first choice for secondary students, Okanagan College is partnering with Discover Trades BC to host a valley-wide conference for parents, school counsellors and teachers at the Kelowna campus on Friday, Dec. 6, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “Parents play a major role in the career path children choose,” said Okanagan Skaha School District career programs coordinator David Kalaski. “The conversation between parents and their kids has traditionally been about university being the first choice for post-secondary education. But that line of thought is flawed and partially the reason we have a skills shortage in British Columbia.” The conference will help provide parents with a better understanding of what is involved in training for a skilled trade by participating in real projects, such as building walls, trouble shooting car engines and using trades training simulators. Contact Dianne Holm at 250-862-5457 or via email at dholm@okanagan.bc.ca to register or get more information about the conference.

The previous president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association pleaded guilty Monday to charges of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm Kirpal Singh Boparai, 54, was not in court to enter the plea that stems back to an incident last August, but he is expected to appear Dec. 30 for sentencing. According to previous accounts of the incidents leading to the charge, Boparai went to the home of Karmjit Gill, a fellow orchardist and board member of the B.C. Tree Fruits Co-operative, and threatened him verbal-
ly while waving around a shovel. Boparai had expressed concern at Gill’s refusal to welcome politicians to his property for a tour through hail damaged crops, and he went to his house. Gill had film of Boparai going to his property and waving around a shovel and behaving erratically. Not long after, he was also filmed getting into an RCMP cruiser. According to Gill, Boparai phoned him from the police car, threatening to kill him. Boparai, 54, was Capital News 2012 Newsmaker of the Year. In September 2012, the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative expelled Boparai for failing to live up to the terms of his contract and shipping his apples to an independent packer instead of the coop he was a member of. Last December, Boparai, the BCFGA’s first Indo-Canadian president, resigned from the top post after serving less than a year as president. “I came to make change. Sometimes my aggressive approach was not popular, but it needed to be done,” Boparai said in December 2012. Boparai is expected to be back in court Tuesday, Aug. 27.

Marijuana petition drive going up in smoke Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
There may be enough people in Premier Christy Clark’s Westside-Kelowna riding who want a vote on easing police enforcement of marijuana possession laws in B.C. But the same can’t be said for the other two Central Okanagan provincial ridings. As the clock ticked down to Sensible BC’s self-imposed deadline of 5 p.m. Wednesday to gather signatures of 10 per cent of all eligible voters in Kelowna-Lake Country and Kelowna-Mission, it appeared clear the attempt to force a referendum on
the issue would fail. Despite a last minute surge that added close to 200 names to the Kelowna-Lake Country tally in the last few days, local campaign organizer Cindy Heemeryk said just 3,200 signatures had been collected as of 2 p.m. Wednesday, well short of the 4,495 needed. In Kelowna-Mission, canvassers had collected just over 50 per cent of the 4,411 signatures needed. Last Friday, when local organizers presented the required number of signatures for Clark’s riding to Sensible BC leader Dana Larsen, he called it a symbolic milestone. But Larsen already
was sounding like a man who knew the campaign was not going to reach its goal. He said another attempt would be made sooner rather than later. In addition to failing to reach its goal here, Sensible BC canvassers have also had problems collecting the required number of signatures in the Fraser Valley and the Cariboo. Under the requirements of B.C.’s referendum law, the group had 90 days to collect the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every one of province’s 85 ridings. If the bid failed in any one riding, the entire attempt to have the referen-
dum held would fail. Heemeryk said Wednesday afternoon she expected the final figures for the three local ridings would be known after 7 p.m. Wednesday. While the 90-day deadline for turning completed petitions in to Elections B.C. is Dec. 8, Sensible BC gave itself a deadline of Dec. 4 in order to have time to gather the petition forms and get them to Victoria. Heemeryk said while technically local organizers and canvassers have three more days, she did not think the collection period would be extended here. Despite that, she said
locally there will be events planned by Sensible BC for January to keep the issue of “healthy” thinking about cannabis front of mind. And she reiterated the desire to try another referendum petition campaign sooner rather than later. But, she added, that decision would not be made here. “That will likely be made down in Vancouver (at Sensible BC headquarters),” she said. “We learned a lot from this campaign, lessons we can use next time.” awaters @kelownacapnews.com

Don’t JuDge A gift By its WrAppings! On Christmas Day morning, people all over our city will awake to a beautiful sight: presents piled under their Christmas Trees. They’ll be covered with beautiful shiny Christmas wrapping paper, tied up with ribbon and capped off with a beautiful bow. A small card will be taped to each gift. This card identifies who the gift is for and who gave the gift. Cards affixed to presents for children generally read: “To: Johnny – From: Santa Claus.” These gifts are a sign of the fulfillment of promises. The gifts from Santa are the fulfillment of a storyline created by children and their parents.. Most North American children are taught to believe that Santa Claus is a jolly and portly old man dressed in a red velvet suit trimmed with white fur. We are told he lives at the North Pole. He is the CEO of an international firm. He is in charge of an army of elves that work 364 days a year (365 on a leap year) making toys for children. December 25th is their only day off. Santa works on the night of the 24th of December, delivering all the toys the elves have made. Children are encouraged to petition Santa Claus for their heart’s desire. Santa has and continues to make guest appearances before Christmas Day at local shopping malls or community centers. Children are brought willingly, and unwillingly, to see Santa, sit on his knee and present their petitions to Santa. These same petitions can also be sent to Santa in the form of cards, letters and telegrams. Today you can also e-mail, Facebook and Tweet your order to Santa. The morning of December 25th is a kind of “Judgment Day”. Each child wonders, “Will I get the gift I asked Santa for?” The presents are often wrapped in order to temporarily hide the identity of gift. The wrapping creates suspense. The child looks at the size and shape of the box and beholds the beauty of the wrapped package. It has to be what I longed for! Santa apparently knows if a child has been good or bad, or, put another way, naughty or nice. Children who have been good and nice get the toys they asked for and those that have been naughty do not. When the signal is given, they tear into the wrapping, exposing what lies beneath. For some “Judgment Day” is a good news day; they got what they asked for. For others “Judgment Day” is disappointing. Each Christmas, St. Luke’s Gospel reminds us that God has given all of us a gift and He wrapped the gift up for us. “So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for
the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” God was very deliberate in these verses. Mary wrapped the baby Jesus in cloth strips, or swaddled Him, and then laid Him in a manger, a feed trough. He sent angels to shepherds to announce the birth of this child, gave them signs and sent them to the child. The wrapping and laying in a manger were to be a sign to the shepherds of the identity and purpose of the child that was born. A swaddled child lying in a manger, in a sheep pen, was to evoke in these shepherds an understanding of the identity and mission of this child as their Savior. The Shepherds were Jews. They knew the Old Testament. Like all Jews, they longed for the fulfillment of God’s promises to them. Beginning with the prophet Nathan, God promised king David, who came from Bethlehem, that from his body would come an heir who would rule an eternal kingdom (2 Samuel 7:4-16). Through the prophet Micah, God promised that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). Speaking through the Psalmist Asaph, God declared that he had called David out of the sheep pens of Bethlehem to lead His people (Psalm 78:70). The babe in a manger, within a stable, a sheep-pen, was to evoke an image in them. God wanted them to see He was calling this promised son of David out of the sheep pens of Bethlehem in order to lead God’s people in this world and into the new Promised Land, heaven. Bethlehem was about six miles from Jerusalem. Bethlehem was noted for sheep production. The shepherds grew lambs which were to be used for sacrifices in the great Temple in Jerusalem. The sacrificial lambs had to be perfect, without a blemish. When shepherds found a perfect lamb, in order to protect it from hurting itself and/or being hurt by other sheep, they would wrap the lamb in strips of cloth and lay it in a manger. They would unwrap the lamb for feedings until it was strong enough to stand on its own. The swaddled baby in the manger pointed to His role in life, to be a sacrifice for our sin. (Isaiah 53:10). John the Baptist later testified to Jesus’ role and identity as sacrificial savior. “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward
him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29) God permitted certain lowly shepherds and John the Baptist to see Jesus’ true identity, His role in the history of humanity and the greatness of the gift wrapped in swaddling clothes. Long ago, the angels told the Shepherds that the swaddled child they would find would be a gift for all the people. True to the angel’s words, God continued to give us Jesus as a wrapped up gift. While He preached, taught and performed miracles, He was wrapped in cloaks and a seamless garment of great worth; a cloak a woman touched, believing she would be healed and was healed (Luke 8:43-48) and the undergarment Roman soldiers gambled over (John 19:23-24)). After He suffered and died for our sins, He was once again wrapped by someone else in strips of linen. Joseph of Arimathea had the honor. Joseph did not lay Jesus in a manger; rather, he laid Him in a tomb. Jesus did not stay wrapped up. On the first Easter Sunday morning, the women found His wrapping on the floor. Jesus’ identity was completely unwrapped for Mary Magdalene and later, the disciples, when they beheld the risen Jesus Christ. God continues to give Jesus as a wrapped up gift and wants us to unwrap the package and find the true gift the wrapping obscures. Jesus is wrapped within the pages of the Holy Bible. When you begin to unwrap God’s gift, to open its pages and begin to read the Old Testament, you will find that, beginning with the first book Genesis, the words point to Jesus’ coming. The words of the New Testament describe in chapter and verse the coming of Jesus in the flesh, His birth, life, ministry, innocent suffering, death, resurrection and His ascension to heaven. You also find that He will return, judge the living and the dead, and establish an eternal kingdom.

Senator needs some educating
S
uspended Canadian senator Mike Duffy has garnered much media attention in 2013. Media have detailed his fall from grace as a result of his allegedly false claims for maintaining a primary residence in Prince Edward Island when in fact his primary residence was within 100 kilometres of Parliament Hill. From all appearances, Duffy displayed very little political
acumen during his tenure in the Senate, other than playing the political game to his advantage. The one piece of the entire debacle that received little attention was Duffy’s request or insistence that he continue to be eligible for medical benefits. He claimed the loss of the medical benefits would be a financial hardship. Duffy owns a home in Kanata, Ont. as well as in PEI and presumably has a pension from
his previous career in the media. Many Canadians have medical conditions, but most do not own two homes, nor have access to pension plans. According to the National Advisory Council on Aging, close to seven per cent of Canadian seniors earn less than the low income cut off (LICO), which represents approximately 258,000 seniors. In addition, another 19 per cent of seniors have after-tax in-

come that is at or just slightly above the LICO, making them ineligible for additional help. u Perhaps Mr. Duffy could s spend his extra free time over the c next two years advocating on behalf of the impoverished seniors t t in Canada. t Not only could this beneh fit seniors living in poverty, h t it would allow Mr. Duffy the opportunity to see how his peers c live and hopefully enjoy a few d pieces of humble pie. t

Cyberbullying legislation called toughest in the world
O
n Nov. 20, I stood in the House of Commons foyer with my colleagues to listen to the Justice Minister Peter MacKay, speak to the media about Canada’s first cyberbullying legislation. Some are calling C-13 one of the world’s toughest laws against cyberbullying because it proposes jail terms of up to five years for the sharing of intimate images over the Internet, without consent. Standing with us was Carol Todd. For her, and sadly other parents across the country, this new legislation has
personal significance. Carol Todd is the mother of Amanda Todd, the 15 year old Port Coquitlam girl who committed suicide at home on Oct. Ron 10, 2012, as a result of Cannan ongoing harassment and exploitation by an unknown person who, it appears to this day, continues to be free to cyberbully. Carol and I shared a few words and though she was bearing up well, it was difficult to imagine the emotions she was feeling as the reporters challenged MacKay about the excessiveness of a five-year sentence for bully-

ing someone over the Internet. From the perspective of a parent who has witnessed their child being bullied, and who has lost that child as a result, I am sure five years seems hardly enough. In the case of Carol Todd, even today, one year after Amanda’s death, images of Amanda randomly appear on the Internet and there is nothing she can do to stop it. Though my heart ached for her, it also swelled at her determination to see this legislation pass so no other parent has to experience the burden she continues to endure. In the 2013 Speech from the Throne, the federal government committed to better protecting children
from all forms of bullying and we are delivering on our commitment with the introduction of this legislation that specifically addresses this form of cyberbullying. The legislation will amend the Criminal Code to prohibit the non-consensual distribution of intimate images. Additionally, a judge can order the removal of an intimate image from websites and may impose restrictions for a specific time on the use of the Internet for the person convicted. This legislation will also modernize existing investigative powers to enable police to more efficiently and effectively obtain electronic evidence that exists on the Internet or
other technologies, which is essential in addressing cyberbullying and holding cyberbullies accountable for their actions. It is important to note that as with any other criminal offence, the Youth Criminal Justice Act applies meaning young offenders are sentenced in accordance with the sentencing principles of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. We also continue to work with partners in the public and private sectors to address all forms of bullying through education, awareness and prevention activities. We are supporting the development of school-based projects to prevent bullying and also the Canadian

▼ WAR ON DRUG ADDICTED
Treat the addict and the dealer will disappear To the editor: The government says they care about suffering drug addicts, as Stephan Harper stated in an article in Maclean’s magazine about their National Anti-Drug Strategy saying: “This approach will be tough on crime and compassionate for victims. If you’re addicted to drugs, we’ll help you, but if you deal drugs, we’ll punish you.” The government says they want to clean up the streets, yet they are reluctant to provide services that will deal with the root of most crime and homelessness. To deal with a toothache some would think that painkillers are the cure, but that is only a temporary relief; therefore, they would need to go get a root canal. The same thing would hold true with the war on drugs, crime and homelessness. Don’t fight the people selling the drugs; help the people doing the drugs. No customers, no money, no business, less production. If the Canadian government spent more time helping those who are addicted to drugs than fighting those who deal drugs, those who deal drugs would have less people to sell to; therefore, this would reduce the amount of drugs being produced and crimes being committed. According to the CPHA website, the 2013-2014 budget saw a 49 per cent cut in drug treatment funding. They also make this statement: “These reductions have taken place
despite the fact that psychoactive substance use is a major contributor to health care expenditures and costs the Canadian economy over $1.2 billion per year in law and order responses, as well as lost productivity due to mortality, illness and injury.” Others would argue that drug addicts do not want help. This is quite an ignorant statement; in fact, this would suggest homeless people enjoy living on the streets, and that addicts like being addicted and controlled by the drugs they use. Almost all homeless people are addicts. I have had the pleasure of talking to addicts who are full of potential, yet they feel they have none. They want more than anything else to stop, but they can’t. They are powerless and don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know this from my own personal experience as well. We need to illuminate that light for them and give them a fair chance. An article from the National Institution on Drug Abuse says that in the United States of America, 20.8 million people, ages 12 and older (that’s 8.4 per cent of the population) who needed treatment for drug addiction did not receive it. I have seen from personal experience that even though a large chunk of people who try treatment, relapse. A large chunk of those who have relapsed will try treatment again because they have been shown that there is a better way. I relapsed over 10 times in the first year
I tried to get clean; finally I have been able to stay clean for more than 10 months. I now have hope and a future. If treatment centres were not around who knows where I would be. I was homeless and a drug addict, I have recovered and am now a productive member of society. The amount of money I was spending on my addiction was substantial. I have witnessed many addicts recover who were spending upwards of $1,000 a day on drugs. The treatment centre I was at could only hold so many people, and it was always full, that would suggest there are tons of addicts who want help. The percentage of addicts that recover in treatment is far greater than those who don’t. I can say that in talking to police officers and judges who have dealt with my cases they all agree that they are so happy not to be troubled by my behaviour anymore. Most crime and homelessness is drug related. Treatment has given once hopeless individuals choose a new life, hope and a future. Why are we denying these people that hope? In an article in the Globe and Mail our own Prime Minister says this about its war on drugs: “I think what everyone believes and agrees with, and to be frank, myself, is that the current approach is not working, but it is not clear what we should do.” Joseph Dube, Kelowna

To the editor: On Dec. 2, a friend of mine was in my backyard around 3 p.m. with her sheltie and my Westie, playing ball and having a wonderful time in the snow. It only took a moment and a coyote had latched onto my 19-pound Westie
and was dragging him out onto the golf course! Luckily Winston managed to break free and ran back to the house. If it was not for Winston’s strength and my friend’s screams, my Winnie would be gone! Winston is at Rose Valley Vet Clinic, where
his vet, Dr. Oz, has done surgery on him to repair the tissue damage from the coyote bites and then he will be on mega doses of penicillin to ward off any infection. We were lucky this time. When will the district of West Kelowna, West-
bank First Nations and Regional District realize this is an out of control coyote population that is becoming increasingly aggressive. To walk into a fenced back yard, just a few yards from a human and dog, and attack a second dog—is this something that we should
continue to ignore and not demand something be done about? How much of a threat must this become and what will the attack be next time—a small child?
To the editor: I am an old age pensioner, on a pension that, in today’s market, is way below the poverty line that the government itself set, and it really bothers me when you have Jim Flaherty of the federal government, say that it is impossible due to eco-
nomical circumstances to even think about giving Canadian pensioners any kind of decent increase in there pension and specifically I mean the ones, through no fault of there own, have no company pensions, only the Old Age Pension. Look at the huge pen-
sions that they, the politicians, give themselves— now that is a disgrace. Please, I do not say that we should not help countries around the world, for example places like Haiti or the Philippines, with help when they have a disaster but please understand some-
thing: We have a disaster in our own country, the worst poverty levels for seniors and children in the Western world and that should be attended to first then help those other countries that need help. I know that I will probably get a lot of negative input about my input but
they most likely will come of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen from affluent pensioners and not from the majority of Canadian Old Age Pensioners struggling to get by in the real world.

Cyberbullies to be held accountable Cannan from A10 Centre for Child Protection, which operates Cybertip.ca and NeedHelpNow.ca, websites that Canadians can use to report online sexual exploitation of children. We are also helping ensure that Canadians have access to information they need to protect themselves and their fam-
ilies against online threats through the GetCyberSafe.gc.ca campaign. Through this new legislation and our continued efforts to promote education, awareness and prevention, we will help better protect our children from all forms of bullying. It is clear that we have reached a point in time when we must ask our-
selves, “What is the value of privacy?” We must protect our children, and by doing so, we must take responsibility to raise our children in such a way that they understand their responsibility in protecting themselves and others to create a safer world.

e British Columbians are free to express regret, by way of an apology, without fear of civil consequences. As Canadians, we’re known for that. Saying “sorry” is about as stereotypically Canadian as saying “eh.” We say the word absent any fault. In fact, we probably say “sorry” more when we’re not at fault than when we are. A relatively new (within the last 10 years) piece of legislation, the Apology Act defines an “apology” as “an expression of sympathy or regret, a statement that one is sorry or any other words or actions indicating contrition or commiseration, whether or not the words or actions admit or imply an admission of fault…” The piece of legislation clearly states that an apology “does not constitute an express or implied admission of fault or liability;” “must not be taken into account in any determination of fault or liability;” “is not admissible in any court as evidence of
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott the fault or liability of the person…” You don’t have to worry about your insurance company voiding your insurance if you apologize, either, as the act clearly states that it does not “void, impair or otherwise affect any insurance coverage that is available.” In circumstances I encountered on a recent flight, an apology might have helped my feelings and, if we were flying over British Columbia, would not have exposed the culprit to any additional exposure to civil liability. In a lawsuit, had I pursued one, the apology would not have prevented the previous user from defending my claim by coming up with any of a number of reasonable explanations for what I en-
countered when I entered the cramped airplane bathroom. There is a small sign above the sink in every airplane bathroom I have been in: “As a courtesy to the next passenger may we suggest you use your towel to wipe off the wash basin.” What a lovely suggestion: A courtesy that would go above and beyond the normal courtesy that bathroom users ought to extend one another. Basic, normal courtesy, would include what I say is an absolute duty, which is to follow that cute saying: “If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweety and wipe the seaty.” In a separate column, provided I can work in some sort of legal basis, I will express my views about men standing to pee. By way of a small window of what to expect, my role model father actually knelt down to do his business. It was no “sprinkle” that I encountered. No, that word doesn’t come close to describing the

mess. Goodness, I would have put money that less got into the toilet than ended up on and around the seat, and likely also on the floor. It had been a perfectly calm flight. There would have had to have been an isolated incident of severe turbulence in the bathroom itself to somehow excuse the scene. Whatever isolated turbulence might have caused the mess, it would have been nice if the “victim of the turbulence” had saving me the few minutes it took me to mop it up. What was more disturbing, and a real eye opener for me, was that the person I had waited for to vacate the bathroom was a woman, not a man. Apparently, actually taking a seat seemed unsanitary to her. I wonder what legal principles I could base a lawsuit on, because I am not aware of being able to sue for a lack of common courtesy, but the law is ever changing and perhaps I could be a pioneer on that front. Often, the threat of legal liability is necessary to bring about decent behaviour. The threat doesn’t increase with an apology, though, and I encourage all of us to show good manners when we actually owe one.

Giving initiative launched by business people Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Giving more Okanagan children a taste of Christmas cheer has motivated a group of local business people to embark on a new giving initiative. Local realtor Tracy Verkjo explained that she and her husband teamed up with Csek Creative to develop KelownaSantas. com, a website that allows families that are struggling to access a resource of men and women who are in the giving spirit. “We’ve been taking part in charities every year and last year we helped the S.H.A.R.E Society,” said Vrecko, explaining that she gained inspiration seeing children receiving gifts when they may otherwise have not. “Just seeing how happy the children were was so amazing. To bring happiness to everyone all you need is a happy child, so we decided to change our focus.” With the new endeavour, those who need a hand just have to go to kelownasantas.com and input the name, age and gender of their children. Then they wait for the big day. On the giving end of the spectrum, Vrecko and
team will be collecting new unwrapped toys in boxes or under trees at their business location. The local business will be using their in-store social media and traditional marketing channels to encourage their staff and customers to drop off toys. Gifts will be collected until Dec. 16, and then picked up by Vrecko and team the following two days. A wrap party where the toys will be sorted by gender and age and wrapped accordingly will take place before the big delivery. “(My husband) will be dressing up as Santa to deliver the gifts,” said Vrecko. “He doesn’t know that yet.” There’s also another benefit to getting in to the spirit of Christmas. Vrecko has two young children, and she says it’s difficult to teach them that the season is for giving, not getting. Last year, when they were wrapping presents for other children, Vrecko explained to her son what was happening and why, and that’s a lesson she intends to build upon. For more information, go to the website www. KelownaSantas.com.

ENTERTAINMENT More movies on their way
T
he first weekend of December marks the halfway point in the holiday movie season and is usually pretty quiet. With only one new opening this weekend, it is a good chance to review the hits so far and look ahead. Taking advantage of the soft spot in between blockbusters is Out of the Furnace, a drama from the acclaimed writer and director of Crazy Heart. Starring Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, Forest Whitaker and Zoë Saldana, it is the story of a blue collar worker who must take matters into his own hands when authorities will not take action in the

destroyed the 12-year-old U.S. Thanksgiving weekend record held by Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and it also now holds the No. 4 spot for highest second weekend gross behind The Avengers, Avatar and The Dark Knight. It has already grossed $296 million in North America and is on track to beat the original’s $408 million. However, threatening to take the spotlight away for The Hunger Games was the newest future Disney animated classic Frozen. Over the five day Thanksgiving weekend, it opened to almost $94 million, which is a record for a Thanksgiving opening. And it is not only critics singing the praises of Frozen but audiences are giving it a rare “A+” with a company called Cinemascore, which measures audience reaction to movies. That very high rating means that it will get the best marketing a movie could hope for—great word-of-mouth. Thor: The Dark World also passed a milestone this weekend as it not only surpassed the original’s gross, but surpasses the gross of team mate Captain America: The First Avenger. The blockbusters return starting next weekend with The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, followed on Dec. 20 by Walking with Dinosaurs 3D, Tom Hanks as Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues and Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro re-teaming with their Silver Linings Playbook director for American Hustle.

adapted from the novel by C.S. Lewis
Pacific Theatre’s signature production of this C.S. Lewis classic “A dream so beautiful you remember it all your life, always wishing you could get back into that dream again.” In this two-actor adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ beloved tale, Peter and Lucy pay a visit to The Wardrobe as adults. It doesn’t take long for them to get caught up in their reminiscence and relive their journey through a land where it is always winter but never Christmas. The land where Peter and Lucy were not mere children, but Sons of Adam and Eve, warriors for the great Lion Aslan, defeaters of the White Witch, and finally, kings and queens. A splendidly theatrical invention that captivates the adult imagination as powerfully as a child’s with its rich themes and unforgettable images.

▼ HEAT WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL
Sizzling first semester Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Over the last three weeks of the regular season, no team in CIS women’s volleyball was more efficient than the UBC Okanagan Heat. Steve Manuel’s squad won six straight matches by 3-0 sweeps—a string of 18 consecutive sets— and is now 10-2 heading into the Canada West semester break. Currently in second place in the conference and ranked among the top schools in the country, the Heat has exceeded even their head coach’s expectations. “I’m just so happy with the way the team is playing and the progress they’re making each week,” said Manuel, in his 13th season as the program’s head coach. “To be sitting alone in second in Canada West, we couldn’t be much happier. We’re well ahead of where we thought we’d be.”
In their third season of CIS competition, the Heat’s only two losses came at the hands of the Bobcats (9-3) early last month in Brandon. Manuel points to team chemistry as the key ingredient to the Heat’s success. “It’s amazing how quickly this team has gelled, there’s been unbelievable group cohesion,” he said. “As a unit, this is as good as a team as we’ve had. It’s been a pleasure to coach them.” While a red-hot first semester has been very much a team effort, Manuel said a couple of individuals, in particular, have been leading the charge for UBCO: fifth-year libero Lenai Schmidt; and middle Katy Klomps, who leads Canada West in hitting percentage and is second in blocks. “Lenai has really come into her own this season, she’s raised her game to a new level and
is making players around her better,” Manuel said. “Katy has been absolutely dominant in the middle—hitting, blocking and on service. Along with Katie Wuttunee, we have as good a middles as there are in the country.” As well as the first half has gone, Manuel knows the Heat will face challenges early in 2014 with matches to come against perennial powers UBC (12-0) and Trinity Western (8-4). Still, the head coach likes his team’s situation with 10 matches remaining in the regular campaign. “The schedule will be tougher, we’ll have more matches against the top five or six teams,” said Manuel. “In some ways, our record might be a little artificial in that we played quite a few teams with poorer records. What I like is the fact that we did well against teams we needed to, teams we felt we had to beat. It’s put

Improved ‘Tips to test Rockets Friday in Kelowna Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
In their last three games, the Kelowna Rockets have squeezed out three one-goal wins against B.C. Division opponents. With two formidable foes coming to town this weekend—Everett on Friday and Kooetnay on Saturday—head coach Ryan Huska said his team will
need to be better than the one that’s been somewhat fortunate to earn all six points in the last week. “Everett (20-5-4-0) is probably the most-improved team in the league,” Huska said. “We’re going to have to play with more urgency and energy. We need to show more desperation than what we’ve been seeing.” Still, the Rockets con-
tinue to find ways to win, as evidenced by Tuesday’s 4-3 victory over Vancouver. Despite struggling for the better part of two periods, Kelowna tied the game with 17 seconds remaining on a goal by Ryan Olsen, then put it away on Damon Severson’s overtime marker for their 13th win in 14 games. The fact that the
Rockets (20-3-0-2) have reached the 20-win mark faster than ever before in the club’s history is at least one reason for Huska to be pleased. “We all have a tendency as coaches to overlook a lot of the positives,” Huska said. “The players have done a lot of great things and it’s tough on them when they’re getting results, but we’re not happy. It’s all about the
process and as long we’re playing well, that’s what important.” Huska said his team’s record and propensity for winning in many different forms, is a bit of a doubleedged sword. “It works both ways in that it’s great for our dressing room, we’re winning a lot of different ways and it gives the guys confidence. At the same time a false impression has crept in,
and you have a tendency to take your foot off the gas. We don’t win with skilled hockey, we win with moving our feet and working hard, and that’s what we need to be doing.” The B.C. Division-leading Rockets trail the Silvertips by two points and Portland by three for top spot in the Western Conference. However, Kelowna has
four games in hand on both teams.

spending what little spare time she has after training to pour her heart into a new fundraising campaign. Unlike many of the other fundraising initiatives on www.makeachamp.com, however, she’s not trying to raise cash in order to pursue her Olympic dream. Instead, she’s hoping to create a bursary to benefit graduating student-athletes from her hometown. “When I graduated in 2007 I was exempt from receiving all bursaries simply because I wasn’t considered a full-time student since I was away in the winters and had to do school by correspondence and other methods,” said Serwa, a KSS grad who is a former world champion and X Games gold medallist. “Instead of getting rewarded for that I kind of got kicked in the shins a little bit so I’m setting up this bursary to acknowledge the hard work it takes to be successful in both academics and athletics. “The more money we raise the more people we can benefit. First I’m going to focus on supporting my high school (Kelowna Secondary School) and from there hopefully I can branch out to other
Kelsey Serwa schools in School District 23.” Serwa, on the comeback trail for the second successive year after re-injuring her knee, has been one of the most dominant female racers on the World Cup circuit in recent years—racking up 15 podiums, including eight wins—since 2009. If all goes well, she’ll make a return to racing in the back-to-back World Cups at Nakiska this week. “My knee is feeling very good and I’m strong and confident,” Serwa said. “At this point I’m not sure if I’m going to be racing. I’m just going to ap-

proach it day by day. “When you come back and do well it makes it that much more rewarding, knowing you had to fight for it and it wasn’t easy.” As a young student-athlete, Serwa had
great support from her family and her community but found it challenging to balance athletics and academics. “Half my courses I did via correspondence through a school in Vancouver. Other courses I did at Kelowna Secondary and I was fortunate to have teachers who were very accommodating,” Serwa said. “My target is to raise $100,000. I would like the bursary to be sustainable for a long period of time. The more money we can raise the more interest that will produce.” The backing she’s received from her family and her hometown has allowed Serwa to pursue a highly successful ski racing career in both alpine and ski cross—and she wants to acknowledge that by giving back to her community.
“I’ve had a lot of love and support from Kelowna over the last six years while I’ve been competing on the World Cup,” said Serwa. In order to help raise funds, Serwa set up a ‘K-Ser bursary’ fundraising page via a popular online platform— www.makeachamp.com/ kelseyserwa. The site offers different incentives or rewards for donations ranging from $20 to $1,000, including posters, tea, toques and even a pair of her Stockli skis. She is also selling five loose tea blends she created via www.myteablendingroom.com/kelseystea—Earl’s Orange Twist, Aloha Mint, Cuckoo for Cocao, Spicy Chai Turanga and Get Well Soon, all of which are available for $20 per tin.

Still, settling for esecond best at the B.C. aAAA boys volleyball -championship in back-to-back years was not the de—sired outcome for Mike Sodaro’s team. “After what happened -last year, you kind of -know the feeling so, in a -way, I guess maybe it was a little easier to take,” said ,Sodaro, the Owls head coach. “But I do feel bad efor the guys. They had a egood year. It would have been nice to end with a -gold, but it didn’t turn out that way.” , The Owls went down to defeat in four sets (3-1) -to the No. 2-ranked Earl Marriott Mustangs in Sateurday night’s final at KSS. Hampered by a slow start after losing the opening set handily 25-11, the Owls rebounded to win the second 25-23. Leading 20-15 in the third, KSS looked to be in control. But Marriott roared back to win 26-24, then took the match over the deflated Owls with a 2520 win in the fourth. “That was the turning ypoint, we needed Game 3,” Sodaro said of squanadering the 20-15 lead. “We were in a position to put the game away, and if we do that we’re up 2-1. Instead, we’re down in the match and we didn’t recover.” Devon Cote picked up first all-star team honours for KSS, Liam Duncan and Eli Risso made the second squad, while Jory Dickie and Sam Taylor-Parks were honourable mentions. Meanwhile, Mt. Boucherie lost to the rival Owls in the semifinals, but it didn’t stop them from getting their hands on some hardware. In the third/fourth place match Saturday, the No. 3-ranked Bears swept past Steveston-London in straight sets (30-28, 2521, 25-22) to stake claim to the bronze medal. “It was a great weekend, the team executed very well and the players that needed to shine really did,” said Bears coach John McParland. “This was truly a team effort as we rotated up to 10 players throughout each game. The growth and maturity of all the team over the last month has been amazing.” The Bears’ Adam
Thiessen made the second squad, while Alex Beitel earned honourable mention.

The Huskies made it to the bronze medal match before losing to perennial powerhouse MEI Eagles from Abbotsford in four sets (25-22, 19-25, 25-13, 25-21). The Huskies were in tough in a tourna-
ment which also featured gold-medalist Langley Fundamental and runners-up Langley Christian and, along with MEI, were the only AA teams to beat the Huskies all season. “Our OKM boys definitely have overachieved once again,” said Huskies coach Paul Thiessen. “We were beaten by teams who had more fire power and experience. The Huskies are to be commended for an excellent fourth place finish. My goal was to medal this year but I knew that would not be easy.” Isaac Smith of the Huskies was named to the first all-star team, Tanner

Funding strategies prevent annual tax spikes in Kelowna Tom Wilson CONTRIBUTOR
People generally rate security as the No. 1 contributor to a great quality of life—not just in Kelowna, but wherever they live. That’s not too surprising, since after food, water and sleep, security is right up there on the hierarchy of human needs.
It’s a basic individual need and, by extension, a highly valued community service. Getting that desired feeling of safety and security in a city of nearly 120,000 requires a certain amount of financial and human resources. With 167 officers, Kelowna has the second-largest RCMP force in the
province, after Surrey. Add in the civilian support staff, volunteers, auxiliary officers, victim services, Crime Stoppers, provincial traffic enforcement and cell block operations, and the number of people who work out of the Doyle Avenue detachment is 492. Plus, city council committed to an RCMP
staffing plan last year that will have added 22 more officers by 2015. After 52 years and numerous renovations and expansions, the Doyle Avenue detachment is maxed-out. It can’t be economically expanded any further and it cannot be renovated to meet the technological needs of modern policing.
The proposal to build a new RCMP building is one of the major financial factors that will influence budgets for years to come. The proposed $36-million Kelowna Police Services Building would provide a centralized facility for operations that are currently scattered between the Doyle Avenue detachment, a Wind-
sor Road facility and other off-site storage facilities. It is one of the biggest and most complex building projects in the city’s history, and its post-disaster design standard will meet the community’s needs for decades. A financial analysis of appropriate funding options is part of every budget process and a pro-
Sawmill inspections continue. WorkSafeBC Prevention staff have been working with industry, other provincial regulators, and stakeholders to ensure that BC sawmills and other businesses that deal with wood dust are, and continue to be, in compliance with safety requirements. Directive order, follow-up inspections and industry action
targeted inspections of other wood products manufacturing industries, including pellet plants, and plywood and pulp and paper mills. We

implement a dust-control program. Officers
Ongoing and sustainable compliance
inspected every sawmill in the province for compliance with that order. A CEO-led sawmill taskforce and industry advisory group developed safety resources to distribute to industry, including best practice guidelines and an audit tool for dust-control management. Three new occupational health and safety guidelines related to wood dust were published, along with two hazard alerts to address risks specifically related to wood dust. Our officers re-inspected all sawmills to evaluate the industry’s efforts to manage combustible dust.
Scope expanded to include wood processing operations
In 2013 and going forward, our officers will continue to address combustible dust as a regular part of their inspectional activity. This winter, a dedicated team of officers will re-inspect sawmills throughout the province. The sawmill industry has made significant progress in addressing dust management. We want to ensure that progress and compliance with wood-dust management requirements is being sustained. Safety in BC sawmills is a vitally important issue, firstly to those who work in the industry, and also to their families and communities. Our common goal is to make wood-dust management an integral part of manufacturing operations. We will continue to work proactively with businesses around the province to make safety

ject of this magnitude will rely on borrowing most of the money. Spreading out the repayment over a 30 year term ensures the tax impact isn’t disproportionately absorbed by today’s citizens when more than one generation of residents will benefit. With other significant capital projects on the schedule—Lakeshore Road upgrade and bridge replacement, new parkades, Stuart Park Phase 2, Bernard Avenue—a financial plan that maps out how to pay for these things is essential to prevent erratic annual spikes in taxes. To accomplish the number of large-scale projects needed over the next few years, the city’s debt servicing costs will be slightly higher than in previous years. However, borrowing terms for municipalities are extremely favourable and are an economical option to accomplish some major works while minimizing the taxation demand. Citizens’ approval to borrow money for the Kelowna Police Services Building will be determined through an elector approval process. Roughly one-third of the city’s more than $288 million in revenues come from property taxes, while two-thirds come from user fees, development charges, grants, reserve funds and small fraction from borrowing. The city prides itself on being financially astute, a careful manager of taxes. For years, Kelowna has ranked among the lowest tax jurisdictions in the province, even while expanding amenities and services to meet the demands of a population that grows by up to 2,000 people a year. Its planning strategy and financial management history have positioned the city with the ability to absorb expensive building projects without needing to rely too heavily on revenue from taxation. Just as we need to feel the confidence and security that comes with a properly accommodated police force, we also want the assurance of knowing we’re in a financially secure position. Up-to-date information about the city’s financial position is available at www.kelowna.ca/budget. Tom Wilson is a communications supervisor for the City of Kelowna.

JFK: Loss of a president and our trust I

Still, I remember exactly where I was and fexactly what was said. I’d been faking sick -(again) so as to stay home nfrom school. e It was a ploy I’d perfected early in my educa-tional days, opting out of ecurricular instruction for -a warm blanket, hot soup, sand a chance to hang out with my favourite person -in the world at that point s—mom. The fact that less than two years before we had e purchased our first black e and white TV (and I was already hooked to the lone-channel wonder) may nalso have held influence. The couch I was ‘regcuperating’ upon was loscated in a rental house on eAbbott Street. - The large, beautiful, eold two-story house be-longed to a lady name -Maude Roxby and looked over what is now (approlpriately enough) known eas the Maude Roxby Bird -Sanctuary.

Regardless, I digress. f I was fully ensconced 8in the riveting animated (and poorly so) children’s show called Firemball XL-500, when the tprogram was suddenely boom-boxed by a faceless voice. “We interrupt this program to bring you f -a breaking news flash. President John F. Kennedy has been shot. Stay etuned for further news.” I remember staring eblankly at the television dfor a minute unable to ac-tually process what the faceless voice had just 0told me.

Little did I comprehend just how long. l It made no sense -then, and it still makes no asense. d That particular antnouncement, for many, was the aha moment sig-nalling the end of the innocence. - If Americans and Can-adians were not already tliving in a world of suspicion and mistrust—the Kennedy assassination was the turning point. In addition—that few
HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge minutes of shock and disbelief is probably still the iconic time-line defining trivia question for baby boomers: “Where were you when JFK was killed?” Such memory lane reminders are not unique to JFK. Different decades, time periods, and generations have their own ‘where were you’ questions: John Lennon, Martin Luther King, the moon landing. But few, however, held the impact of that infamous day in Dallas. I’m not sure what sort of reflection it is when a society defines its greatest memories by the dates of people’s violent demise, assassinations, massive death, or natural disasters. I suppose it is understandable that such grief inspiring, cataclysmic events lodge or dislodge memory bank data; I’m just not sure what that says about us a species. Certainly the JFK assassination is probably the most significant historical flashback for anyone age 55 and older. Unless you drank way too much Sleepytime Tea, or were stuck under a large rock last week you were likely inundated with TV shows, radio, online media stories or newspapers and magazine articles that recalled the infamous assassination that took place 50 years ago. I listened or read a great amount of it and one particular reality remains in my brain. We know very little more about what really happened that day, than we did within minutes of the actual incident. Despite all the talk, books, movies, magazines and ongoing investigations, Kennedy’s assassination still garners more speculation, debate, and attention than any other murder in modern history. It has become so convoluted and theorized, I am not sure that if the truth actually was discovered we’d either recognize it or believe it. Certainly the load of poppycock that has been spoon-fed to the public by the U.S. government is a farce, sprin-
kled perhaps with some half truths. With the initial Warren Commission and other ‘investigations’ over the years proven to have been gong shows, it’s unlikely we will ever know the truth. Many folks still believe, or have come to believe, that at least some level of U.S. government, military, or law enforcement members were involved in the demise of JFK. Some suggest it likely involved a combination of the above or even all three.
Some speculate JFK was snuffed because of Vietnam, others point at the Cuban crisis, the even nasty commies from Russia, or the mob, or… Many maintain Lee Harvey Oswald was not even involved or was simply a scapegoat in the plot. A bundle more believe he was involved in the assassination but was not the only one and in fact part of a bigger assassination team. As time goes on fewer and fewer people actually believe Oswald was the
lone gunman that fateful day in November of 1963. The truth will likely never be revealed and if it does it will not set anyone or anything free. What is for sure is that on that cold November day innocence was lost, suspicion set in, and the word conspiracy became embedded in our vocabulary and day to day mindset. Lost in it all was not just our innocence, but something we may never get back—trust.

NOTICE OF INTENT T13-106 EVENTS PROVIDER Notice is hereby given by the City of Kelowna of its intent to contract with Festivals Kelowna of Kelowna, BC to provide public events for the City. The contract will be for a three year period with an optional three year extension period. The contract cost is estimated at $745,500 (based on current budget). The City has chosen not to call for supplier proposals for the following reasons: 1. Festivals Kelowna as a non-proďŹ t society has demonstrated a strong commitment to community values which align with the City’s community objectives; 2. Festivals Kelowna programs are high quality, successful, growing and attracting positive attention; 3. Festivals Kelowna pricing is cost eective and provides excellent value; 4. The organization has experienced sta and an excellent working relationship with City of Kelowna sta, other non-proďŹ t organizations in the community, and performers; and 5. Festivals Kelowna attracts another $100,000 $150,000 annually in community sponsorship and grants due to a strong track record and relationships – this leverages city funds and enables program growth. Suppliers wishing to object to this decision should contact the person identiďŹ ed below either by fax or email on or before 4pm on Dec. 13, 2013 presenting speciďŹ c reason for their objection. If justiďŹ ed a suppliers meeting with City representatives will be called to receive supplier presentations regarding this contract. Supplier ability to oer product and/or services resulting in the same or better solutions at a lower cost during the same time frame will be the key criterion with regard to the supplier objections.

Swiss Chalet and Harvey’s now under one roof STRAIGHT FROM DEHART
Maxine DeHart This week’s column is dedicated to long-time local businessman Randy Quigley. Not only was Randy an exemplary Rotarian and Advocis leader, he was also a longtime friend, going way back to his Sears days.

Personal condolences to Arlene and family.

Chamber now Board of Trade Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The Westbank and District Chamber of Commerce will now be known as: Greater Westside Board of Trade. Board of directors received final approval of the organization’s name change Thursday, Nov. 29. According to Norm LeCavalier, Greater Westside Board of Trade co-chair, the decision was made to give the former chamber “a lift.” “This process has taken almost a year to complete and we are very excited about launching our re-
branding efforts as soon as possible,” said LeCavalier. “Since our AGM in January 2013, we have been moving in a positive direction and have received lots of support from the Greater Westside business community. Our goal is to develop an image that will create a higher profile throughout the Greater Westside.” LeCavalier said the re-branding will include a new logo and mission statement, which will be unveiled at the January 2014 annual general meeting. He added the move will allow the board of trade to broaden its scope and reach out to

other chambers up the valley. Membership has increased from 250 to 340 since the chamber’s AGM last January. Co-chair Marek Buryska said the name change is about being inclusive. “This is an opportunity to represent all local businesses on the Westside, encompassing all of the local neighbourhoods like Lakeview Heights, Shannon Lake, downtown Westbank and businesses on Westbank First Nation lands,” said Buryska. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Kelowna lights up Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna’s downtown lakeshore may be lit up with Jerry Budnick’s Christmas light display this year after all. The extravagant spectacle, which includes a mini moving Ferris wheel, animated displays, and colourful lights, was a yuletide staple outside Budnick’s Bridgeview Court home in Lakeview Heights for 13 years. But last year was Budnick’s finale and he donated the equipment to the Capri Rotary Club in Kelowna. A plan to erect it on the downtown lakeshore this Christmas hit a snag when

the Rotary club learned it would cost $70,000 to bring the display up to Canadian Standards Association requirements which are not applicable on private property. But the club now says the estimate was too high and at least part of the light show can be displayed for considerably less money. Armed with $15,000 from the city, the club will start setting it up in Kerry Park early next week. Meanwhile, the city’s downtown Christmas lightup—complete with a giant Christmas tree and Nativity scene—will go Saturday at 6 p.m. preceded by a day of celebrations starting at 11 a.m.

Hundreds witness elaborate Mount Boucherie prom proposal
Wade Paterson
STAFF REPORTER
For many high school students, asking someone to prom—or waiting to get asked—is a big deal. But few “Will you go to prom with me?” inquiries are as complex as what Cameron Waller managed to pull off at Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary Tuesday. Waller’s best friend, Sydney Renning, was in the school cafeteria when a flash mob of about 30 people—including her
friends, family and teachers—began a choreographed dance. She was handed flowers by several dancers, then escorted to an awaiting Waller, who asked her to prom in front of a crowd of hundreds of students and staff. “I was shocked,” said Renning. “I was just so astounded that I have all these incredible people in my life.” Although the hundreds of spectators weren’t part of the original plan, Waller said they made the experience bet-
ter. “The bell rang to go to class and everybody stayed in the cafeteria to watch. It was really incredible.” The elaborate prom proposal took about three months of planning, according to Waller. He also made a secondary video, which shows interviews with Renning’s friends explaining what they love about her. “She’s just such a lovely person and I think it’s time that she got told how much she’s loved by everyone in the school.” Waller said he and
Renning mutually decided they would go to prom together three years ago; however, he still wanted to officially ask her. Getting the assistance of friends, family and teachers wasn’t hard. “Everyone was taken with it immediately,” he said. “I think when you’re a teenager, a lot of ideas don’t get past the idea stage; they don’t get put into action. I think everyone wanted to see this happen.” Renning said she never imagined her best
“I expected him to step up his game, but not that big…I did not see it coming,” said Renning. “Everybody’s talking

Serwa gives back through ‘K-Ser bursary fund’ Ski cross star Kelsey Serwa hopes to be standing on the podium in Sochi, Russia, in February with a gold medal around her neck, but if she realizes her Olympic dream less than 70 days from now she won’t forget where her journey started. In the midst of preparations for this week’s season-opening Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup races in Nakiska, Alta., the 24-year-old from Kelowna has been spending what little spare time
she has after training to pour her heart into a new fundraising campaign. However, she’s not trying to raise cash on www. makeachamp.com, she’s creating a bursary to benefit graduating student-athletes from her hometown. “When I graduated in 2007 I was exempt from receiving all bursaries simply because I wasn’t considered a full-time student since I was away in the winters and had to do school by correspondence and other methods,” said
Kelsey Serwa Serwa, a KSS grad who is a former world champion and X Games gold medallist. “Instead of get-
ting rewarded for that I kind of got kicked in the shins a little bit so I’m setting up this bursary to acknowledge the hard work it takes to be successful in academics and athletics. “First I’m going to focus on supporting my high school (KSS) and from there hopefully I can branch out to other schools in SD 23.” Serwa, on the comeback trail for the second successive year after re-injuring her knee, has been one of the most domin-
ant female racers on the World Cup circuit—racking up 15 podiums, including eight wins—since 2009. If all goes well, she’ll make a return to racing in the back-to-back World Cups at Nakiska this week. “My knee is feeling very good and I’m strong and confident,” Serwa said. “When you come back and do well it makes it that much more rewarding, knowing you had to fight for it and it wasn’t easy.”
