Rutland will see benefit from budget Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna city council will head into its annual budget deliberations later this week looking at a staff recommendation that could boost residential property taxes by 2.67 per cent in 2014. On Monday, council was presented with its formal introduction to the budget, when staff made its annual public presentation prior to council’s line-by-line budget deliberation set for Thursday at City Hall. Financial services director Keith Grayston said for 2014 the city is looking to raise $107.9 million in taxes, 37.4 per cent of the entire $289 million budget. The remaining money will come from fees and charges (33.1 per cent), reserves and surpluses (12 per cent), grants (4.8 per cent), other revenue (4.7 per cent),general revenues (four per cent), departmental transfers (2.2 per cent), parcel taxes (1.2 per cent) and borrowing (0.6 per cent). It contains $735,000 worth of additions approved in the 2013 budget, including pay for more police officers added last year but who only started part way through 2013 and now need to be accounted for on an annual basis. The proposed 2.67 per cent tax hike would add about $45.11 to the $1,734.79 in municipal taxes the owner of an average-priced home in Kelowna ($451,440) would pay next year. Other taxes on the annual city tax bill homeowners receive, such as those for the school district, regional district and regional hospital district, would all be on top of that amount and are not known yet, said Grayston. The city’s provisional 2014 budget will be hammered out during an all-day council session Dec. 12. According to the city, in 2014 it will be challenged to provide new services that are in demand, while maintaining existing service levels and looking for opportunities for future growth. Despite that, one councillor said he feels the upcoming budget will help an area of the city believed by many to have been overlooked for too long. See Budget A7

Defibrillator training comes to high schools Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Okanagan secondary students are receiving training that could help them save lives. Several Kelowna Secondary School students were on hand Friday for the official launch of the Advanced Coronary Treatment (ACT) Foundation high school defibrillator training program. “We’re going to see all public secondary schools in the Okanagan region training their students how to save a life with CPR skills, and they’ll learn also from

their teachers how to use a defibrillator,” said Sandra Clarke, executive director of ACT Foundation. “So they’ll all be empowered to save lives as they graduate.” The training program will be introduced at KSS, Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary, Okanagan Mission Secondary, Rutland Senior Secondary and George Elliott Secondary; about 1,900 students will be trained in both CPR and how to use a defibrillator each year. According to Clarke, the program cost is about $5,000 to set up in each school. The funding includes 28 automated external de-

fibrillator (AED) training mannequins, 28 AED training units and four AED units for in-school cardiac arrest emergencies. Early CPR, combined with the use of an AED within the first few minutes, can improve survival rates for cardiac arrest victims by up to 75 per cent, according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Clarke said students who have been involved in the program in other parts of the province haven’t had much difficulty learning how to use the defibrillators. “We’ve already set up the program in over 50 secondary schools around the province of

B.C.; the teachers say it’s easy to teach students how to use the defibrillator,” said Clarke. “The actual machine is very easy to use. It has voice prompts on it, so it actually takes (students) through the simple steps.” After taking part in the twoweek training course, Grade 10 KSS student Michael Patora said he is confident he could help save a life if the situation ever presented itself. “It was a little bit confusing at first, but we have good teachers,” said Patora.

NEWS ▼ POLICE PURSUIT ACCIDENT

Trust fund started for injured newspaper carrier Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A trust is being set up to help the Capital News newspaper carrier who was seriously injured after being struck down in the midst of a police chase. Steve Kania suffered several spinal fractures as well as head and leg injuries from what’s alleged to be a drunk driver evading police scrutiny, just before 1 a.m. last Friday

morning. Glen Beaudry, the Capital News circulation manager, has been told Kania was transferred to a Vancouver hospital to deal with fractures to his spine, as well as leg and head injuries, and the newspaper wants to help ease the financial struggles that are bound to ensue as his recovery gets underway. Beaudry said the Capital News has employed Kania as a paper carrier for the better

part of 10 years, saying Kania’s family is already financially strapped, and that’s why the trust in his name is being set up. “This is his livelihood,” he said, adding that Kania has an excellent work ethic, and is always quick to volunteer to help with other routes when the paper comes up short of delivery workers. “This is a senseless tragedy (allegedly) due to a drunk driver. It’s just adding to his exist-

ing challenges. It’s very sad.” Other than small parcels of information from Kania’s family, little else has been made known of the situation, other than the fact the crash occurred near Dundas and Dundee just off Highway 33 in Rutland. “A pursuit reportedly ensued and ended when the subject vehicle struck a pedestrian. The affected person was transported to hospital,” read a release from the Independent In-

vestigations Office of BC, Friday. Shortly thereafter, the IIO deployed investigators, including a Level 4 traffic reconstructionist. Police are, as of yet, unable to offer any insights into whether the alleged drunk driver has been apprehended or charged. The IIO is required to investigate anytime someone suffers serious harm because of police involvement, how-

ever removed that involvement may be. The independent office is canvassing for witnesses to the events. If you have information you are asked to contact the IIO witness information line toll free at 1-855-446-8477. Those able or interested in helping the Kania family can pick up the Capital News later this week, when further details relating to the trust fund account are finalized. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Survey gives UBCO students voice for what they want from Rutland Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Ghetto, cheap and sketchy. They’re not the most flattering adjectives, but they’re what UBC Okanagan students most readily attach to Rutland when asked for descriptors, according to a group of fourth year university students. As the cap on their undergrad studies, business students Colin Gill, Brett Haney, Rosanna Zhang and Connor Wain polled the community on their thoughts about the maligned part of Kelowna. Their findings, as well as a list of ways to make the region more compelling, were presented Monday to members of the Rutland Residents Asso-

ciation, representatives of the City of Kelowna and the Uptown Rutland Business Association. According to the group, the negative stigma could be lifted if there was a concerted effort to grow the amenities that young people desire in the area. A multi-level development could be the first part of the solution. “Every year there are students who want to live on campus,” said Haney, adding there isn’t enough housing to meet that need. Rutland should be the ideal secondary locale for the student overflow, but that’s not the case. Affordable student-geared housing could create a draw and, in turn, a needed bulge in the youth population. “With more people concentrated in a small

area, it would increase cash flow,” he said. That wealth, would also create a case for an increased business presence, which is what many of those surveyed said they’d like to see in the form of nightlife amenities or shopping options. Finally, the group made a case for beautification. “The sidewalks are narrow and people don’t feel safe,” he said. “Lighting improvements would improve people’s perception of safety.” The student findings reinforced what URBA and the residents’ association already knew about outside perceptions of their neighbourhoods. Ev Vielvoye, of the Rutland Residents Association, said she knows there’s more to her neigh-

bourhood than meets the eye of the average UBCO student surveyed. That said, something needs to be done to lure the coveted demographic, and she has a few ideas. “We need to do something for the younger people to be involved with,” she said. “We need a cultural place, and that’s what we’ve been trying to get.” Jim Paterson, the executive director of business development for the City of Kelowna, said Rutland is ripe for that kind of development, with the right demographics and affordability—it’s just unclear when it will happen. “With a few key triggers it could be the next Pandosy Village,” he said. kmichaels @kelowncapnews.com

Agreement allows city to upgrade Centennial Park The City of Kelowna and Rutland Centennial Park Society have joined efforts on a Memorandum of Understanding to improve Rutland Centennial Park and Community Hall, and extend Shepherd Road to Rutland Road. Under the MOU, the city would purchase the road right-of-way for market value to protect a future

Shepherd Road connection to Rutland Road. The proceeds from the sale of the right-of-way would be reinvested by the society in the Rutland Centennial Hall. The Rutland Park Society would transfer ownership of existing parkland to the city for community use. The city would also commit funding to improve the park space.

“This partnership with the city will provide an improved, beautiful park for the citizens of Kelowna in perpetuity,” said Rutland Park Society president Todd Sanderson. “Further, by providing a source of funding to refurbish the hall, the agreement will ensure that the hall will remain the centre point for community events in Rutland.”

RANDY Finnigan, a locked-out FortisBC electrician, works to prepare the Christmas light display slated for Kerry Park Friday. Finnigan and four other locked-out FortisBC workers volunteered to help with the project. Houle Electric assisted with the electrical work, while Modu-Loc gave a reduced rate on fencing. “We really appreciate the generous support of our local businesses and institutions—and we think the residents of Kelowna are going to be very happy to see this display downtown for years to come,” said Bracken. He said when the call went out to other Rotary Clubs in the area, like the Kelowna Rotary Club and the Ogopogo Rotary Club, their members were happy to help out as well. Commissionaires of BC have agreed to pro-

play outside his Lakeview Heights home and members of the public from throughout the Central Okanagan flocked to see it shine in the night. “We’re very happy we can get this fun, festive light show set up in time for Christmas this year,” said Capri Rotary Club member Lockie Bracken. “It took a lot of cooperation from so many people to get the job done and we’re very impressed with the community spirit that went into this project.” After the club members discovered the display needed upgrades to meet public safety standards, they were assisted by numerous groups and individuals. Okanagan College, B.C. Safety Authority and the City of Kelowna provided electrical advice on the upgrades, and five locked-out FortisBC electricians joined the volunteer team preparing and installing the lights. A $15,000 grant from the City of Kelowna, along with storage space and assistance with site logistics, were also instrumental to the success of this project. Other assistance came from Ted Callahan, of Argus Properties, who provided indoor space for display inspections and upgrades, said Bracken.

Eldorado Road fire in the Mission Fire department still seeking source of explosion at single-family home Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

A woman stood wrapped in a blanket on the lawn of an Eldorado Road home Monday morning after a small explosion in the carport lit her home, and the home beside, on fire. The blaze started in the two-storey house at 960 Eldorado Rd., where four occupants live and was called into the fire department at 11:02 a.m. “The first engine arrived at 11:06 and reported that there was

smoke and flame coming from a single storey residence and there was fire exposure to a neighboring garage,” said Lawrence Serres, Kelowna Fire Department platoon captain. Neighbours described hearing an explosion before discovered flames were climbing into the rafters of the attached garage. Hydro had to be cut to two buildings in the aftermath as the fire took out most of the original home’s carport, a cedar hedge beside, several tall trees and impacted the

siding on the neighbouring house. Speculation on site indicated an ignition source may have spurred

an explosion when it connected with sawdust around the home in a similar manner to what has occurred at several B.C. sawmills in recent years. The fire department did not release any information on the cause of the blaze, however. “The family of four is being assisted by ESS as some electrical and structural work will need to done before they will be able to move back in,” Serres said. The investigation continues. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

City takes Shaw up on its free Wi-Fi offer Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna city council has taken Shaw Cablesystems Ltd. up on its offer to set up free Wi-Fi

hotspots around the city. Council agreed to a five-year non-exclusive deal with Shaw Monday, which will see public WiFi service made available in many city parks and

electrical costs and signs to let the public know they are in a Shaw Wi-Fi hotspot. The required equipment will be located on lamp posts and power poles. The system will roll out over the course of 2014 and, while Shaw customers will be able to join the system through their Shaw accounts, nonShaw customers will also be able to log on as guests. While the service will be free for all, guests will be restricted to 250MB of data per month. City officials said making the system available to everyone, not just

Shaw customers, was a prerequisite for its approval. The deal is not exclusive, meaning other companies could approach the city with similar proposals, said Mayor Walter Gray. “This is a sign of where we are heading,” said Coun. Colin Basran about the arrival of free city-wide Wi-Fi in Kelowna. Similar systems exist in other Canadian and U.S. cities and Basran added that he felt it just made sense to have it here as well. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

City property hike projected to be 2.14% Training from A3 “This is a Rutland budget,” said Coun. Robert Hobson, adding he feels there is a lot for city’s largest residential area in the financial plan. Asked to clarify his remarks following Monday’s council meeting, Hobson pointed to $150,000 for consultations on a Rutland town centre plan, $600,000 for the Bulman Road bridge, $400,000 to push Shepherd Road through the Centennial Park area to Rutland Road now an agreement has been reached with the association that owns the park and the Centennial Hall. As part of that agreement, the city will take over the park. As part of the deal, the money the city pays the association to push the road through will go to upgrade the aging Rutland Centennial Hall. The city would take over the park and improve it. (See story A3.) “We are heading down the road of spending more in Rutland,” said Hobson, a 22-year city council veteran who has said this will likely be his last term on council. According to information released by the city Monday, Kelowna taxpayers enjoy the fourth lowest residential taxes in the province when it comes to municipalities with populations over 75,000. “Our objective is to provide residents with the best quality of life we can afford,” said financial planning manager Genelle Davidson. “Revenue from property taxes help us build the amenities people want and provide them with the services they need.” About three-quarters of the city revenues already come from non-tax sources, including user fees, charges, grants and reserve accounts. In addition to prior commitments, the 2014 budget will also be influenced by a number of existing city plans including: • The 2020 Capital Plan acts which is a guide for capital infrastructure costs and ensures projects are prepared with funding sources identified over the longterm • The city’s Official Community Plan which identifies issues and opportunities expected over the next 20 years • The city’s 20-Year Servicing Plan and financing strategy which supports the infrastructure needs called for in the OCP. While a provisional tax rate will be arrived at by council Thursday, the actual final tax rate will be not be set until May 5 when Kelowna city council reviews final budget requests and gets final information from B.C. Assessment and knows its final new construction revenues, part of which are used each year to offset a tax increase. Last year the city hiked residential property taxes by an average of 2.74 per cent.

Students learn how to use a defibrillator Training from A3 “We really got to perfect our skills.” ACT Foundation is working in partnership with BC Emergency Health Services, BC Ambulance Service and Interior Savings Credit Union to bring the program to public schools in the region. Health partners AstraZeneca Canada, Pfizer Canada and Sanofi provide sustaining funding for the foundation. “We are thrilled with the support of ACT’s partners. Without them, this

lifesaving program would not be possible,” said Clarke. Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson said the program is an “important” one for local secondary schools. “Community safety is everyone’s responsibility; we need to remember the importance of working together in order to respond to these medical emergencies,” said Thomson. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Walking barefoot in winter to aid OK Gleaners clothing drive Two Grade 12 students from Kelowna Christian School—Adam Parsons and Dru Carlsson—walked barefoot for a mile to raise awareness and support for the recent Okanagan Gleaners Sock Drive. As the temperature in

the Okanagan began to plummet, Parsons and Dru shed their socks and shoes to walk a mile in a symbolic barefoot gesture for the orphans in Eastern Europe. Thanks to the two students’ efforts and other donors, the annual Glean-

ers Sock Drive was a great success. Gleaners, headquartered in Oliver, is widely known as providers of dehydrated food products to hungry and needy parts of the world. In recent years the organization has added a

Minor hockey players team up to help the typhoon victims in the Philippines Sheila Jayson CONTRIBUTOR

I have been deeply saddened by the tragedy overseas and personally wanted to find a way to help those effected by the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan. Like many people I know, money is not always an option to give, so we tend to feel helpless to offer our assistance during a time where we would otherwise like to step up and work together to make a difference. Last month, I was in the stands for my son’s hockey game, coffee and newspaper in hand, patiently waiting for the puck to drop once the Zamboni cleaned the ice. I then noticed an article about the Pearl of The Orient and their local efforts to accept and ship items overseas to The Philippians. I knew right away this was an opportunity to organize a team collection event. The coaches, parents and players on my son’s team were all over the idea and quickly made efforts to gather gently used clothing, blankets and shoes to donate overseas. I was so pleased to have found a local outlet to head up the cause allowing local Okanagan families another channel to donate to such a needy cause. Most of us have clothes we no longer wear filling up our drawers and closets, items that are too small, or maybe just out of style. We can easily give without compromise simply by donating what we no longer need. Hockey players know all about teamwork. They understand and know success is achieved when everyone works together and supports each other. On the ice, or outside of the rink, whether they win or lose, teamwork always has a better outcome in sports and in many life situations that they will encounter moving forward. These boys are learning about the act of kindness and gratitude. We are very fortunate to be living in a society where there are numerous programs in place within our community to help those around us who are less fortunate.

One thing these boys are learning through this experience is how they can also reach beyond boarders to aide others in need. A lot of people in these typhoon-ravished communities were left with only the clothing on their backs. They are homeless, hungry and completely misplaced. Through this experience, the players have come to realize that even a small contribution can make a huge difference in someone’s life. The response was overwhelming and together, we managed to fill close to four pickup loads. I also had friends and parents whom I have never even met before, donate clothing and baby items including cloth diapers, to support the Filipino people and our team efforts. I am very thankful to all the hockey families and coaches on

▼ OUR VIEW

Generosity is inspiring

t times, working as a news reporter can feel a little like being the Grim Reaper. As a fact of life, death and tragedy happen all the time, and in most cases we report on it because we believe the community has a right to know. Sometimes, the stories hit us hard and we, like you, are deeply impacted, wondering how life could be so cruel. Journalists do their best to provide a balance of good and

bad news but sometimes the bad just keeps coming. But proof that there is much more good out there than bad can still be found. For instance in Langley, there is the story of Alex Vail, a father who had his vehicle broken into and trashed by thieves caught in the act. The crime cost him his vehicle, which needs in order to find work in a warehouse. He said he couldn’t afford the $300 deductible to get the car back, let alone buy his son a Christ-

mas this year. Vail is a good guy in a bad situation. And not because of anything he did wrong. His story struck a chord with local readers. Two days after the story came out, a man by the name of “Reg” came forward and handed over an envelope with $300 cash in it—enough to pay Vail’s deductible. The generosity doesn’t stop there. By Friday, there were more envelopes for Vail. His son will have a Christmas for

sure now. Vail is humbled by the strangers’ generosity in helping his family. For Langley, that community’s caring for others never ceases to amaze the recipients of that generosity and is a good news story everyone would be happy to share. We in the Okanagan are not immune to such outpourings of generosity either, especially during the Christmas season. It is always what defines us as individuals, as a community and as Canadians.

view, does it really serve a purpose? It’s not like anything Thomson, Letnick or Cannan said was new. They were not furthering the discussion of the province’s economic position and providing new solutions to problems plaguing what is clearly a still faltering B.C. economy. They were simply parroting what their respective bosses, Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, have been saying for months. In the case of Thomson and Letnick it should be no surprise given their respective jobs in government. They may be local MLAs but they are also ranking members of the Liberal government in Victoria. Thomson is B.C.’s minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations and

Letnick is parliamentary secretary to Clark. So, touting the government line is part of their respective job descriptions. But as local elected political representatives, shouldn’t they offer their constituents a little more? Thomson told the packed luncheon that B.C. needs to turn its attention to China when it comes to trade. Sound familiar? Letnick said LNG will be a boon to the provincial economy once it is up and running. How many times have we heard that? As for Cannan, he said the federal government is working to keep taxes down and cut the red tape. That’s the message the federal Conservatives have run on in each of the last three elections.

From Thomson and Letnick there was plenty of justification for trips by government officials, from the premier on down, to Asia to sell the idea of LNG exports. And, they said, B.C. faces stiff competition from other parts of the world, so it needs to get in on the LNG action early. Once again, nothing new. Unlike the “state of the city” addresses presented by Kelowna’s mayor during his annual visit to the chamber, Friday’s presentation by twothirds of “Team Okanagan” and their federal buddy was less a report and more a sales job. Given that we have heard it all before—several times–what was the point? awaters@klownacapnews.com

▼ HUMAN RIGHTS

Student leads KSS into global campaign To the editor: I am organizing a Write for Rights at my school. Write for Rights is a global campaign of not only supporting people in their fight for human rights and demanding justice for them but also an awareness campaign about injustices and political situations around the world. I hope to encourage everyone to come out and write a letter or post card, sign a petition or already written card for human rights. There are also online petitions that are quick and easy to sign. This whole campaign is really effective, in one-third of the cases of unlawfully imprisoned people where Amnesty International has

stepped in and letters were written the prisoners were freed. For the KSS event: Opening of Write for Rights is Dec. 10 on Human Rights Day, but it will continue until Thursday. There is one booth in the foyer and one in the library where all materials and information needed to write a letter or postcard for the protection of human rights will be available. There will be three cases to choose from, so three situations where human rights were violated and Amnesty International has done extensive research to make sure they are legitimate claims. Anyone who writes a letter can, if they like, provide their e-mail or personal information so

that Amnesty International can get back to them about the case they chose to support (if the detainee was released, etc.). Here is the informational link from Amnesty International’s website http://www.amnesty.ca/ write-for-rights. There is also a Facebook group: KSS Write for Rights. This event is important to me because my parents grew up in the GDR (the former East Germany), where many people who raised their voice for human rights became prisoners of conscience. I feel privileged to be living in Canada where we can protest, raise awareness and debate issues and write letters.

Using words to make a stand seems like the most peaceful option for me and has proven to be effective. My goal with this event is to empower not only students but the community around Kelowna Secondary School by writing letters that might free leaders who have taken a stand for human rights and help communities that have suffered from human rights injustices. This is a really impactful event and KSS is the first school in the Okanagan Valley to host it. Pauline Schrott, Grade 12 student Kelowna Secondary School

▼ ALBERTATARSANDS

Cannan asked to justify plant expansion that hurts environment Open letter to Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan: According to federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq, your government’s recent decision to approve Shell Oil’s Jackpine tar sands plant expansion project in Alberta will cause irreparable environmental damage to First Nations lands. (http://www.cbc.ca/news/ canada/edmonton/potentially-damaging-jackpine-oilsands-mine-expansion-ok-d-by-ottawa-1.2454849) About 8,500 hectares of wetlands and their important and sensitive environmental values will be lost forever by this project. How Shell Oil plans to offset this loss by trading the impact area for 730 hectares of cow pasture is not detailed and at this time should be assumed to be infeasible and unproven. Importantly, your government put Shell Oil ahead of Canadians when it ignored First Nations peoples their right to participate in a meaningful public discus-

sion on a project that will have significant impacts on their lands, resources and health. Your decision on this project shows Canadians that federal environmental protection, public participation and strategic industrial policies are seriously flawed. Simply put, you have failed to protect the public trust, democracy and human rights. I welcome your reply explaining the democratic principles behind the Jackpine decision. And I look forward to also receiving a public cost benefit analysis and remediation plans detailing how this project provides net benefits to all Canadians over the long-term, including all of the public health care costs needed to address First Nations health issues arising from this project. Richard Drinnan, Kelowna

To the editor: What an enlightening and interesting truly stated editorial compiled by the editor of the Capital News published Dec. 5 in “Our View.” Indeed, why should suspended Mike Duffy, the disgraced opportunist senator, continue to be eligible for medical benefits at our expense and, why would he not be terminated permanently? Penalties would be more severe for those with ordinary jobs and naturally all benefits immediately cancelled upon dismissal. All the corruption and advantages that have taken place, past and present, gives every reason to abolish this bureaucratic Senate wrongly appointed by the prime minister. This governmental institution costs us millions of dollars yearly, ($14.2 million to be precise) and the abolishment is the desire of most Canadians. Do we honestly believe the suspension of four senators whom allegedly submitted false claims has just recently begun? Peter Anutooshkin, Kelowna

Camera analogy fails to sway hunter’s opinion To the editor: Re: letter from Connie Mahoney (Dec. 6, Capital News, ‘Take a camera, not a gun, into the woods to hunt’) Connie, if a relative of yours is killed in an evening car crash involving hitting a deer, moose or elk, whose fault will that be if their numbers keep increasing?

Kelowna SPCA overrun with kittens and cats

The Kelowna branch of the SPCA needs help in dealing with an unprecedented flood of cats and kittens arriving at the

Casorso Road shelter in recent weeks. “Typically kitten season runs from March through the early fall, but

this year kitten season just keeps coming and this has created a tidal wave of felines arriving at the shelter,” said Suzanne Pugh,

KelownaSantas.com is a collaboration of the community to assist families in need for Christmas KelownaSantas.com is a coming together of community to assist families in need for Christmas. We collect unwrapped toys at businesses located throughout Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country to provide to children, from newborn to 17 years of age. Volunteer drivers will deliver the toys on the 23rd to 24th of December

Please complete the form. Forms must be completed by December 12th to be considered for drop off. You can not nominate someone or suggest, the form must be completed by the person in need.

manager of the Kelowna SPCA branch. “This population explosion has placed significant stress on the existing cats and kittens already in the shelter and on the staff and shelter volunteers who are working so hard to provide daily care and medical treatment for each animal. “We also have an amazing group of volunteer foster parents who provide around-the-clock care in their homes for the newborn kittens, but as we move into December and there is no let up, these volunteers are becoming exhausted and are starting to take well deserved breaks for the holidays.” Pugh also notes that the SPCA’s costs to vaccinate and sterilize incoming cats and kittens are significant and the extra long kitten season is placing more strain on the charity’s limited resources. “We have taken in 105 kittens and 85 adult cats in the past three months and we are currently caring for 99 felines—60 of whom range in age from newborn to four months,” she said. “We also still have al-

most 200 cats on a wait list, from people wanting to surrender their pets to the shelter and the calls continue to pour in.” To help deal with the flood of animals, the B.C. SPCA is using its Drive for Lives transfer program to move as many cats and kittens from Kelowna to other SPCA shelters across the province. The Kelowna SPCA is also offering 50 per cent off cat adoption fees for the remainder of December. “Our priority is to find as many good, forever homes as quickly as we can and to help other abandoned and neglected animals who are still out in the community needing care and protection,” said Pugh. If you have room in your home and heart for a new best friend, please visit the Kelowna SPCA, 3785 Casorso Rd., or view animals available for adoption at spca.bc.ca/ Kelowna. Donations to the branch to help care for the influx of animals are also greatly appreciated and can be made at the branch or online at www.spca. bc.ca.

Autism conference available to Kelowna Parents of children with autism and professionals who work with them can learn from leaders and specialists in the field by attending a two-day conference in Kelowna, one of more than 50 communities across Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan and Northwest Territories that are expected to link in through Telehealth. The 7th annual conference, hosted by Children’s Autism Services of Edmonton, is a major educational event that engages respected researchers and practitioners to present in-depth sessions with practical strategies and resources. This year’s featured presenter is Michelle Garcia Winner, internationally renowned speech language pathologist from California, who coined the phrase “social thinking.” Winner says how we think about others—social thinking—affects how we understand and relate to one another. For most of us that process is intuitive; but, for a child with autism, this is a complex communication skill which must be learned. www.socialthinking.com The conference runs Jan. 23 and 24, 2014, at the Edmonton Marriott at River Cree. For program information, registration, and to find the local Telehealth site see www.childrensautism.ca or call 780-495-9235. For more information about Winner see www.socialthinking.com.

Baking above the clouds at Big White Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Ladyfingers don’t fit in a champagne flute, baker Sheldon Molitor says as he starts explaining the engineering feat needed to craft a dessert for the Iron Lady. Molitor built the most amazing tiramisu possible by drizzled ladyfinger batter into a mesh pattern capable of folding into the narrow glassware once baked. A libertarian baking solution for Margaret Thatcher? Well, it was entrepreneurial, he will admit, but then so was the career change that brought Molitor to baking. “IT was lucrative, but it was just constant, constant phone calls and it just drove me crazy,” he says as he recounts how one customer crawled through the ceiling to find wires chewed by mice, and he engaged in several hour-long conversations leading to the big question: Is the computer plugged in? His move to baking was completely unplanned. A family member offered him a job with a friend who ran a bakery and was desperate for staff. It was terrible hours and lousy pay, but he wanted to work. It would turn into a life-altering decision. Molitor has worked with the best, he’s taught the best and he’s become so proficient at taking people off the street and turning them into bakers that his partner, John Chou, whose background is in telecommunications, now works right alongside him as the cake decorator at Big White. “He just got better than me in about two days and he had the tenacity to stick with a detailed project to make it look fantastic,” Molitor said. Mid-season Chou will be pumping out a dozen decorated cakes a night, the pair working from 11 p.m. around the clock until they make their secret maneuvre: sticking the cinnamon buns in the oven. It’s no accident that the Big White Bakery seems to sell itself with

Timing can be everything in any small business and, when your cinnamon buns come in four varieties (plain white icing, cream cheese, maple and cream cheese bacon), it’s worth playing to one’s strengths. Molitor has been a baker for 26 years, Chou for one, but they’ve been together for over a decade. They easily complete each other’s sentences, making for a great partnership in the kitchen. And Chou seems to know Molitor’s training and employment history better than the man himself. The best bakery Molitor ever worked for was Van Den Bosch Patisserie Belge, he says. In five years, that bakery’s owner,

Marc Tilkin, managed to grow the operation from a small shop in Vancouver’s Granville Island Market to an 11-store success with a 10,000-square foot plant in Burnaby and a reputation to earn him a British Columbia New Canadian Entrepreneur Award in 1991. Funnily enough, Tilkin later sold the small chain and went into IT, but it was at the original Van Den Bosch Patisserie Belge ovens that Molitor learned most of what he knows. “We did everything for the Radisson, the Waterfront, the Renaissance, the Wall Centre and Sheraton. Any hotel in Vancouver that was four stars or better, we were supplying all their baked goods. It was an incredible learning curve,” he said.

The liqueur mousse cakes were the specialty, but for Molitor, learning to pour a Frasier Torte was nothing compared to learning how to run an efficient operation. This is what he was hired to do at Fratelli’s Bakery, another foodie haunt on Commercial Drive. When he left the Vancouver establishment, Fratelli’s had six Golden Plate awards. Asked why he likes the baking world, Molitor has a simple, realistic answer. “I like the transportability of the job,” he says. “You may not make a million dollars, but you’ll always have work. Every little town has a bakery.” Tweet: @jaswrites jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

BUSINESS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS

Seeking out a business idea that offers purpose in life M any times the roads we travel to reach our destiny confront us with crossroads we never thought imaginable. Stops and detours along the way add value to our vision of where we hope to eventually arrive. As we yearn to embrace our desired life successes, we awaken within ourselves the sleeping giant of purpose which will set us on a course of self-discovery for our true entrepreneurial achievement. For a time in her life, the featured person in my column today sought a goal where she might be able to create a purpose that would enrich her life. Eventually, she realized through her epiphany of experience and learning that “it’s not what you sell, it’s what you stand for.”

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young Through this acceptance, Marjorie Horne, founder and creator of CareSmart Seniors Consulting, has travelled through an entrepreneurial journey of understanding her purpose and discovering how she could harness that purpose for greater success in her professional and personal life. So, let’s meet Marjorie, a Capital News seniors’ columnist, and identify how she found and nurtured her entrepreneurial purpose. Let’s recognize and accept that many people

who at some point in their life’s journey become entrepreneurs will have difficulty explaining to us the how and why the change occurred. It may range from loss of a job, honing a specific interest in a field or even accepting an existing venture from a benevolent relative. Horne and I met at the recent Okanagan Valley second annual Entrepreneurs Conference hosted by the Okanagan Entrepreneurs Society. She thought I might be able to add some insightful thought to her personal goal setting. So her story: After retiring as resident services manager from the Hawthorn Park Retirement Community after 10 years of solid management experience, Horne spent time in soul searching how she might bring

some innovation and new creativity—entrepreneurial benchmarks—in meeting the plethora of needs of seniors and their families as they greeted the transitions of aging. Let me note here that Horne is a married woman with an adult son and was am operating room nurse who achieved a wealth of knowledge and experience in the West Coast lifestyle before moving, with her family, to the Okanagan. Concluding that she wished to move her innovative thinking forward, Horne jumped, with both feet, into intensive research, anywhere and everywhere she might find positive approaches for seniors’ health. She told me her “turning point” of discovery was initiating discussion with Dr. Chip Teel, author of the book, Alone and Invisible No More. Dr. Teel had offered many ideas and concepts toward the design of a

new empowering aging approach for supporting seniors who wish to continue aging in place at home. And so, the entrepreneurial bug sprang forth as Horne’s purpose was about to unfold. Through her interaction with Dr. Teel, she was able to clearly envision a more holistic approach to aging well, as opposed to focusing on a traditional medical model of seniors care. That decision made, Horne recalls, at 61 years of age made her realize that education is a lifelong learning process. Our Okanagan entrepreneur, oozed with excitement, while sharing with me her newfound conviction— the birth of her entrepreneurial purpose in life, her new business called CareSmart Seniors Consulting Inc. And so the journey goes for Horne as she incorporated her venture in May 2012 and launched

on October 2012. Lets define CareSmart for all of you reading this column who may be an adult child seeking answers for one or more of your aging parents or loved ones. CareSmart offers new solutions in elder care through: • ongoing senior care monitoring (tailored to need) • elder care advising and planning • relocation assistance and settling-in transition • innovative remote wellness monitoring. Horne’s Circle of CARE approach integrates a senior’s family, friends and professional caregivers into a single collaborative unit. Solutions are shared to support the senior in aging well. This avenue of entrepreneurial purpose is how Marjorie Horne has found her journey of understanding, realizing the how she might make

a difference in people’s lives and find their purpose as she has. Horne asks that all of us, whether we are searching for an answer to help seniors and others in our immediate lives, ask the this question—“What is our purpose that we have arrived at and where do we want it to take us?” It is my strong belief in this age of finding purpose and meaning to our life and recognizing that maybe, just maybe, we are in the business of making a difference— that’s the renaissance for me. This will then be entering us into the new age of entrepreneurship based on purpose. You can check out more about CareSmart www.caresmart.ca.

BUSINESS

Year-end means it’s time to focus on filing a tax return T here are several things that you can do to reduce your taxes, but they all involve some year-end planning and effort to get the paperwork together. You will need to organize your receipts for donations, moving expenses, child care expenses, political donations, medical expenses, any alimony paid, any eligible employment expenses, any union or professional dues, any carrying charges or interest expenses, public transit passes and receipts, children fitness and arts amounts and the seniors’ B.C. renovation tax credits. A great way to get a tax deduction and give back to the community is to make a charitable donation before Dec. 31, 2013. You need to make sure that the organization provides you with a tax deduction receipt that has their charitable donation number on it as registered with the Canada Revenue Agency. Any donation over $200 gives you a tax credit of 29 per cent federal-

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka ly and 14.7 per cent provincially. If you do not have enough taxable income to absorb the credit in the current year, you can carry the credit forward for up to five years. Please note that after March 20, 2013, the deduction for safety deposit boxes will no longer be allowed. Any senior whose income is above $70,954 will see that their old age security begins to be clawed back. Income over $34,562 initiates the claw back of the age credit. The GST credit will begin to be phased out after an annual family income of $34,561 is reached. The child tax benefits are phased out when the annual family income exceeds $43,561.

The RRSP deadline is March 1, 2014. The person with the higher income can contribute funds to their own RRSP as well as to a spousal RRSP keeping in mind the contribution limits for each person. The contribution limits can be found in the RRSP section of last year’s Notice of Assessment. Contributions to an RESP are matched by the Canada Education savings grant to a maximum of $500 per child per year. There is also the ability to receive the Canada Learning Bond which will provide $525 for the child in the first year and $100 every year after until the child turns 15. You can establish a RDSP (Registered Savings Disability Plan) for a person who is eligible for the Disability Tax Credit. Contributions up to a lifetime maximum of 200,000 are nondeductible but eligible for tax deferred grants and bonds. If your health has deteriorated substantially over the last 12 months,

please make sure that you apply for the Disability Tax Credit. The medical professional will need to fill out form T2201 which will then need to be sent to the Canada Revenue Agency. It will need to be approved by the Canada Revenue Agency before you can use it on your tax return. It is a non refundable tax credit of $7,697 (in 2013) that can be used to offset any current taxes payable. Also, make sure to let your tax preparer know if you have become the family care giver and are taking care of someone in the home who has recently become disabled. If you have investments that you have sold during the year that will result in a capital gain, please consider selling some investments that will result in a capital loss, to offset the current gain. Any capital losses can be carried back three years or forward seven, 10 or 20 years depending on when the loss was originally incurred. Receiving eligible

dividends will result in a lower tax than the receipt of non-eligible dividends. You may also want to consider restructuring your investments so that any interest is deductible rather than non-deductible. The rates for eligible versus non-eligible dividends received from private corporations are changing in 2014, depending on the taxpayer’s province, so if you receive non-eligible dividends in 2013, you may save up to two percent more tax than if they were paid in 2014. Voluntary disclosure of income is still available to report income not reported in the past so that the various tax credits can be received. You need to report the income before you receive any demand to file from the Canada Revenue Agency. If you have foreign property or are a U.S. resident, you need to disclose your World Wide Assets over $100,000 and your World Wide Income and may have to file a tax return in both countries. Please note that there

is now money changing hands between governments of foreign countries for information on suspected tax evaders.

▼ ADVANCING AGE

Adapting to life’s challenges determines our happiness “ Christmas dinner We all need models for how to live from our retirement to past 80—with joy,” says Dr. George Vaillant director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development. In his book Aging Well, Vaillant reviews information gathered from three separate longevity studies that, beginning in their teens, followed 824 individuals for more than 50 years. What did he learn from his many interviews with people as they

of lemons and regular exercise. He states: “Owning an old brain, you see, is rather like owning an old car…Careful driving and maintenance are everything.” What none of us can avoid in the process of living is change. How adaptable we allow ourselves to be is a strong determinant of our state of happiness. A great mentor once told me, “What we focus on expands.” I recognize that the days I get up hanging on tightly to what I am comfortable with, trying to control my life and my day, the more constraint and limitation I feel. What Dr. Vaillant’s research also found is that friendships with younger persons enhance the enjoyment of advancing age.

These successful friendships are not relationships in which the elderly are coddled by the young, but rather where the aging adult is able to give more than they receive. Four building blocks that might help you take a personal “checkup” of how to move through the process of advancing maturity successfully are: Part 1: Planning ahead and making important decisions. Have you gathered the facts on what legal arrangements you need to have in place, should you not be able to make financial or medical decisions for yourself? Enduring powers of attorney, advanced directives, wills and representation agreements are all important documents to have, along with an accessible personal information record so that family members can easily be aware of all important information pertaining to your medical history. There is a fantastic website available at www. nidus.ca that provides simple and concise infor-

vmation and forms for you to easily learn about what is needed. Nidus is a non-profit Personal Planning Resource Centre and Registry in Vancouver. If you prefer to call them to ask questions you may do so at 1-877-2675552. Part 2: Staying physically active. Do you make staying physically active a priority in your life? Getting aerobic activity and exercise to strengthen muscles, promote joint flexibility and help with balance has been shown in many studies to be a key factor in successful aging. I spoke with a beautiful woman this week who was celebrating her 100th birthday. Staying active certainly looked good on her, dressed to the nine’s and walking unassisted without so much as a cane needed for balance. It was the glint in her eye and the engaging smile she immediately gave me, a complete stranger that showed me why she has became a

Part 3: Activities and social connections. Do you look for ways to combine physical activity and social interaction such as exercise with a friend or in a group? One great program to do this here in Kelowna is called Move It and Mingle. Call the Westside Health Network for more information at 250-7683305. There are many other programs available in our area. Check out the

www.kelowna.ca website or call their information line at 250-469-8800 to see what you can get involved in. Part 4: Spiritual and mental well-being. We all develop fears, questions, or dilemmas as we go through life. Do you try to go it alone, rather than feel like you are burdening someone else with your troubles? Choosing to make the effort to find support and guidance is always worth it. Other ways to foster a sense of inner positive well-being are: • Honour your own strengths and weaknesses • Look for the good in other people and situations • Accept with grace the things in life you might like to change but can’t • Manage the stresses in your life • Know the value of positive thinking. When it comes to getting older, we all have some common uncertainties. Talking about them and sharing our concerns with another person always lightens the load. Call a friend, share a smile with a stranger. Giving and continuing to do little acts of kindness for someone when they least expect it is the best medicine for living well, no matter where you are on the aging spectrum.

Okanagan rink falls one step short in Winnipeg Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

When John Morris, Jim Cotter, Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatsky joined forces earlier this year, the local foursome set its sights high—to carry Canada’s colours at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi. The Vernon/Kelowna-based team fell just one agonizing step short of realizing that dream, losing 7-4 to Ontario’s Brad Jacobs in the final of the Canadian men’s curling trials Sunday in Winnipeg. A decided underdog for much of the week in a field which featured the likes of Glenn Howard, Jeff Stoughton and Kevin Koe, the Morris-Cotter rink posted a 4-3 record, then upended Edmonton’s Kevin Martin in Saturday’s semifinal. But the magic ran out on Sunday against a welloiled Jacobs machine, which went a perfect 8-0 at the trials to earn a trip to Russia in February. As much as the loss

hurt, Cotter was proud of his team’s performance and the chemistry they’ve established in a relatively short time together. “You know, the wound is still fresh, but over time I think we’ll be able to reflect and be proud of what our team accomplished in such a short period of time together,” said Cotter, who throws fourth rocks for the Morris rink. “The key is to take what we learned from the experience and grow from it,” Cotter said. “I don’t think anyone expected us to be there, and the effort, determination and desire our guys showed was amazing. We gave it our best shot, but just came up a bit short.” Morris, who lives in Calgary, left Kevin Martin’s rink this summer to hook up with Cotter, from Vernon, and Kelowna’s Griffith and Sawatsky. At the trials, Jason Gunnlaugson served as fifth player, while Pat Ryan was the coach. The newly-formed team enjoyed immediate success on the World

JOHN Morris’s Vernon/Kelowna rink, also featuring Tyrel Griffith (left), Rick Sawasky (right) and Jim Cotter, finished second best at the Canadian curling trials in Winnipeg. Curling Tour this fall, qualifying in its first three events and reaching the

final at the Prestige Hotels Classic in Vernon. The Morris team then

rolled through the Canadian Olympic pre-trials last month in Kitchener,

going a perfect 4-0 and securing a spot at the final trials in Winnipeg.

While much of the focus has been on Morris, the skip, and Cotter, who throws last, Cotter credited the front end from Kelowna for making the ride possible and that much more enjoyable for all of them. “(Sawatsky and Griffith) are both phenomenal players,” Cotter added. “I’ve been with Rick for 10 years and there’s nobody I’d rather go to battle with. Ty has brought energy and a positive attitude. “Our front end really brought it and were a big reason we accomplished what we did. At the end of the day, we win as a team, we lose as a team.” The Morris-Cotter foursome will now regroup and set its sights on winning a provincial title and earning a spot at the 2014 Brier in Kamloops. “We’re going to take a nice long break here over Christmas, regroup and refresh and come out the last half of the season real strong again,” Morris said. The B.C. men’s curling championship is set for Feb. 4 to 9 at the Vancouver Curling Club. Cotter, Griffith and Sawatsky won the B.C. men’s title together in 2012.

▼ SKI CROSS

Positive World Cup return for Serwa Kelsey Serwa is back. In her first World Cup ski cross race since returning from a second knee surgery last season, the 24-year-old Kelowna native posted a solid fifth-overall finish on Saturday at Nakiska. Serwa, who came into the week unsure whether she would race, won her first heat and then edged out teammate Georgia Simmerling, of West Vancouver in the quarter-final. In the semifinal

she got stuck at the back of a stacked heat and was eliminated. However, she made a superb pass to win the small final to seal a strong return from injury. “I felt really good about my race today. In my first race back from knee surgery I couldn’t ask for more,” said Serwa, the 2011 world champion and X Games gold medallist. “I messed up the start a few times and that got me but apart from that I’m really happy. The

knee held up great. Having Brady and Marielle on the podium is great. We couldn’t ask for a better start to the season.” Canadian ski cross coach Eric Archer liked what he saw from Serwa. “Kelsey was awesome,” he said. “I don’t know if she expected it but we did. She put in the work and she trained hard and did the extra things she thought she needed mentally and it was great for her to get back in there

and win that small final. We’re going to have to do this every week to reclaim the Nations’ Cup as the No. 1 team on the World Cup circuit. It’s going to be a fun winter.” Serwa, who suffered an injury to her left knee in both 2012 and 2013, has 15 career podium finishes at World Cup, including eight wins since 2009. Serwa’s Canadian teammate, Marielle Thompson, won gold in

the women’s race, while fellow Canuck Brady Leman earned bronze in the men’s event. Next up for Serwa and Canada’s ski cross team is a World Cup race in Val Thorens, France, on Dec. 14 and 15. In the bigger picture, Serwa is looking to be in top form for the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. She placed fifth at the 2010 games in Vancouver. Kelsey Serwa

Rockets open Prairie tour vs Broncos Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Over the next eight days, the Western Hockey League’s hottest team will try to withstand both the frigid Prairie weather and a rather demanding road trip. With 15 wins in their last 16 games, the Kelowna Rockets will open a six-game tour of the Eastern Division Tuesday night in Swift Current against the Broncos. After a successful four-game home stand, head coach Ryan Huska is urging his players to embrace the challenge that awaits the Rockets over the next week. “I think the whole idea is to enjoy this,” Huska said. “We do have six games in eight nights, it’s a big challenge, there’s always adversity on these trips, but it’s something to look forward to. It’s a chance to get out on the road, grow tighter as a team and continue to make progress together.” The Rockets (22-3-02) are on a six-game winning streak and trail the Portland Winterhawks by just two points for the WHL’s overall lead, with Kelowna holding five

In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellﬁsh at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional proﬁle, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery.

We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works - if you can see results with animals - and we do.”

UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild product out, and they often did!” phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 consider it one on the greenest companies in the health food stores across Canada, in stores world.

Warriors rebound with win over Salmon Arm After a disappointing loss Friday night, the West Kelowna Warriors rebounded with a complete effort Sunday afternoon beating the hometown Salmon Arm Silverbacks 4-1 in BCHL action. Second-period goals by Adam Osczevski, David Pope and Seb Lloyd spotted West Kelowna to a 3-0 lead through 40 minutes. After Jason Cotton made it 4-0, Alex Gillies spoiled Andy Desautels’ shutout bid with just 1:16 remaining in the game. Still, the Warriors were happy to get back in the win column. “It’s obviously a bit disappointing getting that close to the end of the game,” said Desautels. “The biggest thing for me was just getting the two points. I couldn’t be hap-

pier.” On Friday at home, the Warriors let one slip against Surrey, losing 4-3, as the Eagles scored three times in the last half of the third period. “3-1 with nine minutes to go and to give up three goals in the last bit like that is unfortunate,” said Warriors’ coach Rylan Ferster. “For 50 minutes we played a very good hockey game. You have to play 60 to win and it’s unfortunate the way a lot of these have been.” West Kelowna (16-111-2) is fifth in the Interior Division, but just two points back of Salmon Arm and Merritt for third spot. The Warriors will host the Merritt Centennials on Friday at Royal LePage Place. Face off is 7 p.m.

Team Lipsett’s Brian McCormick & Ken Paul then set up a great end which forced Justin Nillson into a tough draw. Nillson came up just short giving Team Lipsett the

6-5 win. • Sunset Ranch (Jeff Richard) vs Harvey & Associates (Ken Harvey) Team Richard skip Jeff Richard made, to take a huge 8-4 lead. Team Harvey tried to battle back in the sixth end but missed the last shot giving up a steal of two and the 10-4 win to Sunset Ranch. • MNP (Gary Brucker) vs Radian Mechanical (Ryan Gatti) With Radian Mechanical leading 5-3 in the fourth, MNP came back with great sweeping help from Geoff McIntyre, the human tornado, and some big shots by Steve Van Dam to post a deuce in the fourth end. Add on a steal of one in the fifth end and a huge steal of three in the sixth to close the game out and give MNP a 9-5 win. • Stolairus Aviation

CAPITAL NEWS

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen Canadian Christmas Since I’m a big fan of cooking with local ingredients, it follows that local traditions are also on my radar—the two just fit together nicely. And, everyone should have some traditional Christmas recipes tucked away to bring out in December, just as there are traditional recipes you bring out for other occasions of the year, such as Hanukkah, if you’re Jewish, or for Easter. A little book written by iconic Canadian food writer Rose Murray more than 30 years ago is one that should be on everyone’s bookshelf. It was just revised and updated and published by Whitecap Books, and is called Canadian Christmas Cooking: the Classic Guide to Holiday Feasts. It includes traditional dishes from the variety of cultures that make up this country, from Ukrainian Poppy Seed Bread, to German Fruit Cookies, Swiss Basler Leckerli to French Canadian Tourtiere, English Mincemeat to Danish Butter Kringle. The only complaint I have about this book is the design. I don’t understand why anyone would choose to print the ingredients list in light red on gray stock so it’s much more difficult to read than it would be in black on white. Despite that, this book is worth purchasing for all the memories you can make with it, and the ones it will evoke. It would also make a nice gift, just as my book, Jude’s Kitchen would. It features a couple of hundred recipes arranged by the seasons of the year, so you can easily make use of what's fresh and local, in season. It also includes special holiday recipes for holidays throughout the year, such as Christmas in December. Both are the sort of gifts that will keep giving throughout the year, and may even give back to you with something delicious. They’re available at local bookstores. JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Rose's Rutabaga Puff This traditional side dish can be made a day or two prior to the Christmas feast, which would really lessen the stress on the big day. Just prepare it, then cover and refrigerate, bringing it to room temperature before reheating it for dinner. 3 c. (750 ml) hot, mashed rutabaga 1 tbsp. (15 ml) butter 2 eggs, beaten 3 tbsp. (45 ml) flour 1 tbsp. (15 ml) brown sugar 1 tsp. (5 ml) baking powder 1 tsp. (5 ml) salt fresh-ground black pepper fresh-grated nutmeg 1/4 c. (60 ml) fine, dry bread crumbs 1 tbsp. (15 ml) melted butter Grease a six-cup (1.5 l) casserole with

butter and pre-heat the oven to 375 F. Peel a medium to large rutabaga, chop, steam and mash. In a food processor, combine the hot, mashed rutabaga, butter and eggs, and process until smooth. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, pepper and nutmeg and process until wellblended. You may also mash the rutabaga with a potato masher until smooth, then add the remaining ingredients and combine well. Spoon the rutabaga mixture into the prepared casserole. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the rutabaga mixture. Bake, uncovered, for about 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Serves 6-8.

Rose's Scotch Bars There’s no scotch in these, but they originated in Scotland. This is a very simple recipe that even children could make, with just a little guidance from an adult. I substituted chopped pecans for the topping because I was out of walnuts.

BARS:

1/2 c. (125 ml) butter, softened 1/4 c. (60 ml) sugar 1/4 c. (60 ml) brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 c. (125 ml) flour 1/2 c. (125 ml) rolled oats 1 tsp. (5 ml) vanilla

TOPPING:

1 c. (250 ml) semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 tbsp. (15 ml) butter chopped walnuts or coloured, shredded coconut

Grease a nine-inch square pan and preheat the oven to 350 F. To make the bars, cream the butter in a medium-sized bowl. Add the sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Stir in the flour, rolled oats and vanilla. Scrape the dough into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. To make the topping, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in the top half of a double boiler, a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, or in the microwave. Spread the chocolate evenly over the baked bars and sprinkle immediately with chopped nuts or coloured coconut. Cool in the pan, then cut into bars. Makes 36 bars.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt

*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh

*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well *read through each recipe first

I was looking in the mirror yesterday and noticed that my gums are receding and my roots are getting exposed and notched – what causes this?

If you had asked me 20 years ago in dental school the answer would have come quickly – you are brushing too hard and/or incorrectly. This never really made sense to me for several reasons. First, if you were brushing your gum tissues away then wouldn’t you expect bleeding and raw gum tissue? Secondly, when you look in the mouth you often see many different levels of gum loss on teeth that are right next to each other. Your toothbrush head is larger than one tooth, so how could you possibly attack one tooth more than its neighbour? That just doesn’t make sense. And finally, even on teeth that have lost a lot of gum tissue, you never see the bone. That means the bone is also being lost, and there is no way you are brushing that away. So what’s the cause then? Pressure. Imagine your mouth to be two horseshoe shaped fences where each tooth is a fence post. If you were to “wiggle” the fence posts (teeth in our case) you would damage the supporting dirt (bone and gum tissue in our case). Not only that, you could damage the fence posts as well (teeth in our case – notches). A misaligned bite can definitely give rise to this problem. Have it looked after because if you loose enough bone and gum tissue – you will loose teeth.

Q A

“Steam “ cleaning is pressure washing. The cleaning wand sprays many gallons of hot water under pressure (usually 3-500 psi) into the carpet blasting soil off the fibers driving it deep into the carpet backing. The cleaning wand vacuum extracts the dirty water back out of the carpet removing most of the water and soil. It cannot possibly remove it all and as the carpet dries over the next few hours (6-12 hours is considered normal), soil and stains driven into the back can wick up to the surface creating a dull, blotchy appearance. Low pile carpets are particularly prone to this but in time it will appear on most carpets. Precision control of the minimal water used with Oxy-Dry ensures soil is not washed into the backing eliminating these problems. Our exclusive use of aqueous ozone provides a unique advantage as even deep down soil is degraded at the molecular level easily detaching from the carpet fibers with the initial clean and continuing with subsequent vacuuming. The carpet continues to clean and stays clean up to 3 times longer. Oxy-Dry is the deep clean that’s drier than “steam!”

Q A

Can I represent myself in Court?

You certainly can, and when faced with hefty legal fees and dwindling legal aid funding, you may have little choice. Hiring a lawyer to help you can actually save money and prevent headaches in the long run, but it may be a luxury for you . A recent report says over half of all BC family cases have at least one self-representing party. The good news is that there are many online resources to help you. The Court Clerks and Court librarian are very helpful. The bad news is that if you are not properly prepared you can jeopardize your case, waste Court time and try the Judge’s patience. You need to inform yourself on the merit of your argument and on Court procedure. A useful place to start your case research is the Court’s website at Courts.gov.bc.ca and the website Clicklaw.bc. ca. If the opposing party in your case has a lawyer don’t be afraid to ask them to forewarn you of your duties. Although that lawyer can’t give you legal advice, ethically they must point you toward helpful resources.

I wear hearing aids and I still can’t hear when I go to my condo board meetings or to the speakers at the senior’s group. Are there better aids that can help me there?

Hearing aids are limited in situations where the speech is coming from a distance, like when you are in an audience and the speaker is at the front of a room, as they tend to pick up the closer sounds better than the more distant voice that you are more interested in. So no, most hearing aids will do exactly what your current hearing aids are doing. But, hearing aid technology has improved so much that you can use an external microphone with certain hearing aids now. You can place this external mic right at the front of the room, in front of or on the speaker and his voice will be beamed directly to your aids, no other cords in between. Similar technology exists to send the sound from your home TV or cell phone directly to your hearing aids, which will make listening much easier.

Q A

Spend Your Advertising Dollars Wisely...This is a term that, when it comes to advertising you will hear from each potential avenue that you decide to take. Radio, newsprint, online, whatever path you choose, will all tell you the same things… they are the BEST, with the best exposure, with the most readership, the most listeners, and that their website gets the most hits or “unique visitors”! It is their job to tell you that, to believe it, and to make you believe it. I believe that knowledge is power, so if you are researching it, then you are already on the right track; the toughest part is who to believe or what to believe. As a sales rep in a company that is extremely reputable, I am not writing this to get your business, but to educate you on the process. The Capital News has been a part of your community for 83 years. The longevity and reputation really speak for themselves. As a business owner, you know that word of mouth and reputation are key components in having success within your business. The Capital News has been successful because it strongly possesses these attributes. Many feel that the cost of advertising is an expense, while the ones that benefit from it, see it as an investment. The Capital News goes to just over 50,000 homes, and is one of the most affordable forms of advertising in the area. In tough economic times, getting the most “bang for your buck” is essential for most, and the Capital News gives you that opportunity. Being well informed is just good business sense!

Q A

My lower back aches constantly when I sit and stand too long. What can I do?

Lower back pain is one of the most common complaints as we age. It is one of the leading causes of time lost from work and affects one in three adults at some point during their lifetime. Orthotic treatments for chronic lower back pain can involve soft corsets, belt supports, or custom spinal Orthoses. Most spinal orthoses work by using abdominal compression to stabilize the spine and provide pain relief during activities. Stretching and core strengthening exercises are also important to prevent back pain. Try to incorporate core workouts into your routine and take breaks to stand and stretch when sitting for extended periods. Call our office to book a free consultation with one of our experienced Certified Orthotists if you have these symptoms or any back concerns at (250) 861-1833.

Q A

What defines a minimalist shoe and does it facilitate a more ‘natural’ way of running?

As with any other category of footwear, there is no strict criteria to define a minimalist shoe. Generally, they have less of everything -- less weight, less cushioning and less structure than conventional running shoes. To answer if they are more functional, it is important to distinguish the marketing from the science. Like other marketing campaigns the impression was made that these shoes are new and revolutionary. On the contrary, it has long been known that humans move differently while shod versus barefoot. A history of minimalist commercial failures in the 1990’s also diminish the revolutionary claim. Manufacturers will often conflate research on barefoot running to make the case for their minimalist shoes, when the two are obviously not the same. Runners wearing conventional foot wear -- including minimalist shoes -- will usually strike the ground with their heel, while barefoot runners usually do not. Given this, it questions the benefit of wearing a shoe with less cushion and less support. Still, they may create favourable gait changes for some while increasing the risk for new injuries in others. The impact forces of running do not disappear but are redistributed based on the foot wear you choose.
