Home mail delivery faces budget axe Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The Okanagan’s large population of seniors will be put in a vulnerable position if the cuts to door-to-door service proposed by Canada Post go through, says the union that represents postal workers. “For a lot of seniors, the only daily contact they have is with us,” said Pam Durham, vice-president of Kelowna’s branch of the Canadian Union Of Postal Workers Wednesday, shortly after cuts to door-to-door service and rate hikes were announced. “So, if something happens, a lot of time it’s their postie who finds them.” Durham, while on her route, has come across an elderly customer who had fallen and injured themselves. She called 911 and they ended up getting the help they needed. If she hadn’t been there, she’s not sure what would have happened. And, on a more regular basis, Durham points out that all mail carriers keep an eye on things, watching to see if mail builds up in the letterbox for any duration. If it does, then further investigation is required. Beyond being a watchful eye, however, postal workers also say taking away door-to-door service, and sending seniors to community mail boxes down the street to get their correspondence puts them in physical peril. “When your grandparents retire to Kelowna, you want them to be safe,” said Dawn Klappe, president of the local branch of the union. “So many of our seniors have mobility issues, and you don’t want them walking in (weather) like we have now to find their mail in some box that may or may not have been robbed.” The Okanagan, in particular, is an area where community mailboxes have proven to be less than secure. “I can’t tell you how many cases where (community mail boxes) have been broken into in this valley,” Klappe said. “We have a lot that are in the dark, and when that happens you get identity theft.” See MailA6

VOLCANIC HILLS Estate Winery proprietor and president Bobby Gidda gives Premier Christy Clark a tour of the winery prior to a provincial announcement regarding provincial liquor policy changes,Wednesday morning.
Premier announces liquor policy changes Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Premier Christy Clark announced the provincial government’s support of several liquor policy recommendations at a stop in West Kelowna Wednesday morning; however, liquor sales in grocery stores was not one of them. Clark—who toured Volcanic Hills Estate Winery before speaking to visitors and the media— said the public has shown a de-
sire for more convenience, but said she has concerns about public safety. “It’s a primary concern of mine in making sure we deliver on the convenience people want, protect health and safety, but also promote B.C. products,” said Clark, who added more announcements regarding liquor policy reform are likely to come in the future. Following parliamentary secretary for liquor policy reform John Yap’s B.C. Liquor Policy
Review, which engaged 80,000 residents online as well as others who attended town hall meetings throughout the province, Clark indicated support of several of the 70 recommended policy changes Wednesday. “We all know our liquor regulations are antiquated. They’re out of date, and it’s been that way for a very long time,” said Clark. Clark first announced manufacturers will be able to sample and sell their made-in-B.C. liquor at venues such as farmers’ mar-

kets, festivals and off-site tasting rooms. “This is a win for consumers; it’s a win for local farmers’ markets,” said Clark. Manufacturers will also be allowed to expand their on-site tasting venues. “That means people visiting the winery will be able to enjoy a bottle of wine in the vineyard picnic area,” said Clark.

Police car rammed House fire destroys family’s belongings by pickup as driver flees scene on foot Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A Kelowna man is facing a number of charges after allegedly trying to evade police. Daniel James Mader, 30, was allegedly observed in an older model Chevy pickup being driven by a man known to be prohibited from driving, Dec. 4 shortly after 1 p.m., by plainclothes members of the Street Enforcement Team. “When the driver pulled into a parking lot at the corner of Homer Road and Highway 33, police initiated a traffic stop using two unmarked police vehicles, boxing in the truck,” said Const. Kris Clark. “The driver rammed one of the police vehicles, narrowly missing several officers, and evaded capture by driving over a curb, through a hedge, through a fence, over a sidewalk and across four lanes of traffic onto Highway 33. “The vehicle was found abandoned a short time later and was determined to have been stolen from Merritt earlier that day.” The investigation continued over the course of the following 48 hours and police tracked the suspect to a parking lot on Dilworth Drive at Leckie Court. “A co-ordinated strategy to maximize public safety was engaged and police were able to safely affect an arrest on the suspect. The 30 year old Kelowna man was held in custody and appeared in court later that day. Mader has been charged with operating a motor vehicle while disqualified, flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen property and two counts of mischief. Mader remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 23.
A Kelowna family may go to sleep tonight in their holiday trailer, following a fire that destroyed their rural home and all their possessions Wednesday afternoon. “We got a call that somebody saw black smoke rising from the house at around 11:30 a.m.,” said Tim Light, of the Kelowna Fire Department. “We arrived and the home was fully involved with fire coming out of the windows and doors.” The East Kelowna home is in an isolated area, at the far end of Feenie Road and deep into the woods. The immediate concern was not so much the structure, but whether it had been occupied when the flames grew out of control. “We were told by a witness the owner had left,” said Light. “But they were unsure if his two kids were there.” In short order fire personnel contacted the man, who assured them that his

KELOWNA firefighters responded Wednesday morning to a home fire in East Kelowna at the remote end of Feenie Road. children weren’t at home. The homeowner, who asked to remain anonymous, said that everything he owns as well as all of his children’s clothes and toys have been destroyed
in the fire. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have home insurance. “It’s just stuff,” he said. “A lot more people are a lot worse off than I
am.” Emergency services workers were dispatched to the scene to help, but the victim said that he would likely be staying in his “holiday trailer” at
a friends property in the days to come. It’s believed that the home’s wood stove had sparked the blaze that completely caved in the structure.
Winter cold snap offered both good and bad news scenarios Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
There’s good news and there’s bad news. The 10-day cold snap has broken, but another is forecast to begin around the middle of next week. The cold did permit a near-record early harvest of a record quantity of frozen grapes with which to make the premium icewine. But, a couple of storms are tracking through the valley in the next few days, bringing an estimated three to eight centimetres of white stuff to the valley bottom, followed by a further four to five centimetres. Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist figures there is a better chance than normal that we will see a white Christmas this year, even though a thaw is forecast Sunday for
a few days. Although the cold weather was a bit longer than normal, Lundquist said neither the late November cold temperatures (which dropped to -11 C Nov. 21), nor the Dec. 3 to 11 plunge in temperatures to -18.3 C, set any new records at the long-term Environment Canada weather station at the airport, although some were close. However, at the newer station at UBCO, which has 20 years of records now, the Dec. 7 temperature of -17.1 did break the old record of -15.4 C for the coldest temperature for that date, said Lundquist. The two lengthy cold snaps allowed a record quantity of icewine grapes to be picked this year, with an estimated 1,140 tonnes left hanging on the vine for the dessert wine, reports Steve Berney, general manager of the B.C. Wine Authority.
The previous year, he said just 475 tonnes were held back and in 2011, 554 tonnes were held. By law, grapes for making icewine must be picked and pressed at temperatures of -8 C or lower to ensure the quality of the finished product, which is made with the concentrated, sweet grape juice, while the water is still frozen in the berry and left behind with the skins. Summerhill Pyramid Winery winemaker Eric von Krosigk said it was a good year for most grape varietals, with a big crop, and some varieties maturing as much as a month earlier than usual. At harvest, he feels there were more grapes than wineries needed, so many of those leftover grapes, for which growers did not have a contract with a winery, were kept on the vine for the record high quantity of
icewine. Growers must announce their intention to leave grapes for icewine by the beginning of November to the BCWA, with the acreage and estimated tonnage. This means there are some unusual grape varieties in the fermentation tanks this winter, including Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon and other reds not normally selected. Riesling and Vidal are traditionally grown for icewine. Von Krosigk said he has no concerns about the impact a large quantity of icewine could have on market prices. “It’s nasty work; the least fun of winemaking. It stresses the equipment as well as the people; and presents many challenges,” he commented. However, he sees it as an opportunity for wineries to diversify their
portfolio; offer a new product and an export opportunity. When the icewine harvest has to be delayed several months as it did with the 2012 crop, which wasn’t picked until mid-January this year, far fewer grapes are remaining. Summerhill lost 85 per cent of its crop last year. “This year made up for that,” he commented. Orchardists are not concerned about frost damage to trees because of the cold snap. Grower services manager Hank Markgraf with the B.C. Tree Fruits Co-operative said they feel trees went into dormancy before the temperatures plunged to their lowest, allowing them to become gradually used to the cold. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Planned power outage upsetting Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Complaints about two planned B.C. Hydro power outages—scheduled for this Sunday and next Tuesday in the Shannon Lake area of West Kelowna—were taken directly to B.C.’s premier Wednesday. During a stop at Volcanic Hills Estate Winery, Clark, who is also the MLA for Westside-Kelowna, was confronted by an angry Shannon Lake area resident, Graham Stevens, one of about 2,000 residents who will be directly affected by the outages. “I’ve lived there 20 years. We’ve seen shutdowns by B.C. Hydro before. The longest I remember was perhaps two or three hours in the summer when they were doing work on a substation at Shannon Way and Shannon Lake Road,” Stevens said following a conversation with the premier . “This project with sidewalks has been dragging around since early November. Somebody should’ve got their act together and (finished) it before we got this kind of (cold) weather.”

SHANNON LAKE resident Graham Stevens shares his frustration over planned
B.C. Hydro power outages this weekend and next week in his neighbourhood with B.C. Premier Christy Clark. Earlier in the day, when asked about the planned outages on a local radio talk show, Clark said B.C. Hydro needs to replace cables in the area and is doing it now because the district is putting in sidewalks and money can be saved by doing both projects together. Clark said she has been told the cables need to be replaced to avoid the possible future losses of power to houses in the area. “It’s just like fixing your roof on your house,” Clark said. “If you wait until it is leaking, it will cost you a lot more.”

B.C. Hydro plans to shut off electricity in the Shannon Lake area from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday and then again from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday. Sunday’s outage will affect homes on Hihannah View, Upper Sundance Drive, Sandstone Crescent, Sandstone Drive, Sunset Place, Shannon Way, Westville Place, Sundance Drive, Sundance Court, Sagebrush Court, Ridgerock Place, Ridgerock Way, Shannon Place, Shannon Court and Woodstock Drive. Tuesday’s outage will affect homes on Shannon Way. “One of the (local) politicians said he wasn’t even told about it,” fumed
Stevens. “Someone else said to me we should be organizing warming centres. There are people with medical equipment.” And he warned Hydro officials that if they think it will cost them money to change their plans now, if residents’ electrical equipment, such as computers and televisions, are damaged as a result of the outages, they could face damage claims and even legal action. Despite resident concerns, the outages are expected to go ahead. A call to B.C. Hydro was not immediately returned Wednesday. —with files from Wade Paterson

Pics raise $12,000 for KGH children’s care What if helping out sick kids at Kelowna General Hospital were as easy as smiling for a camera? It was in a recently completed fundraiser by Elizabeth Soergel, a local photographer who operates Aviva Studios, which raised more than $12,000 for children’s care at Kelowna General Hospital. In total, she has raised over $45,000 with this project since 2009. The book release was held this week at The Eldorado Hotel where all the families and chil-
dren involved in the project were invited for a fun afternoon of food, cupcakes and face painting. Soergel has created a coffee table book called Children of the Okanagan 2013. Each page features a different child, photographed by Soergel on location in the Okanagan this past summer. “I’m really pleased with how this book turned out” said Soergel. “It’s a creative way I can contribute to children’s care in our community. Project
donors can see beautiful pictures of their children included in the book and the KGH Foundation received donations for each participant, as well as revenue from the sale of the book.” Soergel’s inspiration for the project came after the birth of her daughter Lauren. When Lauren was born, she inhaled amniotic fluid which makes breathing extremely difficult for newborns. It can result in death if not treated immediately. Soergel and
her family were grateful to the doctors and nurses that saved Lauren’s life and want to make sure other families receive excellent care in the Okanagan. “The Kelowna General Hospital Foundation is extremely grateful to Elizabeth for her support of neonatal services,” said foundation chair Karen Borring-Olsen. “Her unique talent allows us to see something special about each of the children in the book. “It is a great reminder
of the importance of having world class health care for our children when they need it.” Soergel’s book has 103 children and each photo session focused on the child’s individual personality. Soergel waived the normal sitting fee but for each child photographed, a minimum $100 was donated to the children’s ward. The book is now complete and has been presold to the families involved.

Many Okanagan neighbourhoods already have community mailboxes. But the Crown corporation says the remaining one third of Canadian households that still get home delivery will be switched to community mailboxes or grouped or lobby mailboxes over the next five years. It cites declining use of postal mail—a billion fewer pieces of mail were delivered last year compared to 2006—as households shift to online bill payments and other digital communication. The price of stamps will also go up from 63 to 85 cents each if bought in booklets, or $1 for individual stamps. It means up to 8,000 fewer postal workers will be needed, which Canada Post says will be shed by attrition, as nearly 15,000 workers are expected to retire or leave voluntarily over the next five years. “With its current labour costs, Canada Post has a much higher cost structure than its competitors in the private sector have,” Canada Post said in a news release. “This is simply not sustainable.” The reduced workforce and other changes are expected to save a combined $700 to $900 million per year. A Conference Board of Canada report last spring found Canada Post would face losses of $1 billion a year by 2020 without major reform.

facilities such as ski hills and golf courses to temporarily extend their liquor licenced area to another part of the property. “We need to, as a government, respond to the people of the province who say they do want change.” The premier said some of the changes could be introduced as early as spring 2014. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Christmas bird count Saturday Judie Steeves There’s a hummingbird feeder hanging in a yard on Mountain Avenue that’s snuggled into a wool sock and kept from freezing with a coil heater, in order that a courageous Anna’s Hummingbird, who neglected to migrate to southern climes this fall, will not perish this winter. Overwintering in Kelowna is not recommended for hummingbirds, who normally fly as far as 4,500 kilometres south in fall, to winter in south-central Mexico, but in coastal B.C. the Anna’s will overwinter rather than migrating. It’s one species that passionate Kelowna birder Chris Charlesworth, coordinator of the annual Christmas Bird Count for the Central Okanagan,
hopes to be able to include in this year’s count, which is this Sat., Dec. 14. Although the cold snap has kept all but very hardy birders inside where it’s warmer the past couple of weeks, it will be snow rather than the extreme cold that could hamper their efforts to spot as many and as varied bird species as possible Saturday, he noted. And some of their best counts have been compiled on snowy days when birds have to move around, but it makes it tougher for birders to get around, he commented. You can help with the annual count simply by looking out your window Saturday and doing a count of the different species you spot and identify in your yard, then calling in at the end of the day with the largest number of a species you counted at
any one time during the day. Do not add the species you spot at different times or you could count some twice. Denise Brownlie of the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club will be coordinating the feederwatch, so call her before 4 p.m. with your numbers, at: 250-717-1809 or e-mail her at: owls-nest@ shaw.ca As part of the feederwatch component of the day’s events, you may spot finches, pine siskins, quail, robins, sparrows, chickadees, juncos, nuthatches, pigeons, owls, hawks and eagles, for a sampling. Charlesworth is excited about the possibility of spotting some unusual birds such as rare gulls, hummingbirds, overwintering peregrine falcons, grouse, gold-

He said the whole continent has been taken over by the doves and just recently they’ve moved into the Okanagan as well. “They don’t seem to be a pest like the starling though,” he commented. The numbers compiled at the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Counts done throughout North and South America help to paint a picture of trends in bird numbers, with the idea of better understanding how they and their environment is faring.

Tragic reminder of fire safety
T
he tragic deaths of two women in two separate house fires in the Lower Mainland once again underscores the need to exercise extreme caution during the ongoing cold snap—and all winter long. Although no definite cause has been determined in either case, in the first fire, which happened in a four-plex on Old Yale Road on Nov. 28, appears to been started by either a space heater or a power bar failure. In the second instance, fire-
fighters said that while they don’t know whether the home had a working smoke detector, they did not hear an alarm going off in the house when they arrived. But in both cases, someone lost their life, and this holiday season is going to be a tremendously difficult one for the people they left behind. Of course, tragedy can never be completely avoided and we may never know whether these women’s deaths could have been prevented, but there are steps we can and should all take to mini-
mize the risk of yet another fatality or serious injury. Whether it’s space heaters, fireplaces or candles, sources of heat are also potential sources of danger if they’re not handled with the level of care and respect they’re due. Fireplaces—whether gas or wood-burning—require regular, professional maintenance to ensure they are in proper and safe working order. Space heaters, meanwhile, should only be plugged directly into a wall outlet, never into a power bar.
There should also be a minimum three feet of space between the heater and any combustible materials. Every home should, of course, have at the very minimum at least one working smoke detector—ideally, one in every area of the house where people sleep—with fresh batteries installed each autumn. And burning candles hould never be left unattended. This is simple advice and we hear it all the time, but we think it bears repeating.

Several factors have led to shrinkage of skilled work force
M
y father worked for a large company during the economic boom of the 1970s, and he received numerous wage increases as profits were shared with employees. Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen as much as it used to. Recent statistics show labour’s share of overall corporate income and profits (in just about all sectors) has decreased since the early 1990s. Twenty-five years ago in most rich countries, such as Canada, about 66 per cent of the income generated from a country’s economy went to the labour that produced it. Today it’s only about 62 per cent.
This may explain why you hear so much about the rich getting richer—the so-called one per cent—and the decline of the middle class. In the United Jane Muskens States, labour groups blame this on manufacturing companies turning to third world countries to reduce their labour costs. Now you have a country that imports more products and services, and where 54 per cent of new jobs created in the last two years were in the service sector; traditionally lower-paying employment. Today, minimum wage in the New York State is $7.64 an hour and just this last week employees in fast-food chains in New York City were consid-
SCHOOL’S IN
ering unionization, and contemplating strike action for higher pay. Outsourcing labour to reduce costs and relying more on imports aren’t the only problems. Technology also plays a significant role in the need for labour. Over the years many of us have witnessed the implementation of software to reduce labour costs. In manufacturing, many industries have invested in powerful computers and robotics to pare production costs. Studies have shown that technology has removed many middle-income jobs where workers required specialized skills. This in turn led to job growth for the highly skilled (workers with strong technical/computer skills and those with post-secondary education) and where automation doesn’t work that well, i.e. in
the low-paid service sector. Education plays a key role in ensuring we have the right labour pool to meet the needs of employers. That is why you now hear that Canada has a skills shortage, not a worker shortage. Some refer to this as a skills gap between what the worker can offer and what the employer is looking for. This is why we need to encourage all young adults and those who are unemployed to consider careers where they have specialized skills and abilities to apply for those highskilled jobs. And its doesn’t always mean four years of university. Many trades programs start with a level one technical training which can be less than two months and have students working through their first ap-
prenticeship. Along with degrees there are many technical one year certificates and two year diplomas in a number of areas. Companies will always look for ways to improve production and keep costs down. Most will be looking for those workers who have the ability to lead the company forward through innovation, whether it’s technical, business insights or understanding the needs of the customer. It’s why economic impact surveys keep reporting that investment in post-secondary brings significant returns; not just to students but to taxpayers as well.

Health care workers penalized if they don’t comply with government doctrine To the editor: Recently news has been surfacing about the flu vaccine and its lack of flu prevention and, more importantly, its potential harmful side affects. This is a controversial issue and will continue to be until people are educated on both sides of the issue. My concern is the level of government involvement, that has escalated this year, and when will it end. My wife and two daughters are in the health care industry and refused to get the flu vaccine. All three of them are very healthy, take care of themselves and utilize natural prevention methods, as a result they have avoided the flu over the years. My mother is in a care facility where half
of the care aids there are unrecognizable in their face masks. What the government is imposing is mandatory masks for those who did not receive the vaccine if you work in the health sector. Further to that, if a flu outbreak occurs at some point, those without the vaccine are sent home without pay. It seems we are penalizing those who are healthy and take other steps to prevent the flu. Whether you agree with the effectiveness of the flu vaccine or not, this action by our government is shameful. If we look at residents in most care facilities, they are usually all vaccinated. If this is the case, it would stand to reason that they are protected (if you accept the vaccine as effect-
ive). So, why then are we so concerned with the care staff and whether they’ve received the vaccine or not? So, back to our rights and freedoms to choose what’s best for our bodies—a weighted subject, I know. Our government has decided to join forces with the vaccine philosophy and impose penalties on those who don’t agree. This is not a huge issue for those who do not work in the health field, and certainly for those who accept the vaccine as effective. But I suggest to your readers that this policing by the government is out of line and if we accept this—what next?
kosher, hallal, vegetarian or vegan (to mention but a few), the option is easily available. Moving further north, that picture changes drastically. In Arctic Bay, a head of cabbage $28.54; in Igloolik six cans of concentrated orange juice $51.89; in Clyde River 24 bottles of water $104.99. Now look at the cost of those items here and readjust the cost of your shopping cart. This polar bear hunt resulted in a community feast in Arctic Bay, not the squirrelling away of food for one family. The only reason people don’t starve is because the Inuit communities traditionally share with those in need and hunt to make up the shortfall. But even hunting is becoming almost prohibitively expensive.
Hunting for trophies is often so wasteful and even food hunters locally will leave behind some of their catch for scavengers to clean up. They only take the best. In the far North, seals, polar bears, caribou and whales are a necessity of life. Nothing in the North is wasted because it is too valuable. The only part of a polar bear that is not used is the liver, because the high concentration of vitamin A is poisonous. Fur—clothing and footwear; meat—food; fat—heating and lighting; sinews—thread and gallbladder; and heart— medicinal purposes. Look at the amount of food that we throw out locally. So many people do not deal with disposed food products properly.
They create bear-attractive “traps” that result in bears becoming habituated to human garbage. Such bears are killed because they are a danger to humans and pets. They are shot and disposed of. Beyond the “poor animal” comments, what is done to protect the bears? Are the callous disposers of food punished? Are they vilified by the press? Are they the subject of social media taunts? No. And why not? We just bleat without thinking. Where we live makes a huge difference on what and how we eat. Cheap transportation means that we can even eat pineapple in December. We can buy mangoes, passion fruit and even dragon fruit. All of these luxuries are available to us readily and at such reasonable prices.
Perhaps it is time for us to take a real look at life outside our cosy cocoon. The news media is powerful and can put a spin on whatever subject they choose. We buy into this. This MP knows how difficult life in the Arctic can be as she was born in Inuvik and raised in northern communities. Before we judge, we need to think. Leona Aglukkaq’s comment “Enjoy” can be more properly translated as “Enjoy the brief respite from hunger” rather than “Enjoy having hunted and wantonly killed a trophy animal.” This the difference between survival and entertainment to obtain a prized possession. Heather Yeats, West Kelowna
Hunters take care of habitat, protect species To the editor: Connie Mahoney’s recent letter admonishing hunters to leave their guns at home and take a camera instead, caught my attention recently. The thought of someone actually going afield with governmental permission to harvest, steroid/antibiotic-free venison for their family, appears to be a radical concept to some of our suburban friends. In B.C. alone the British Columbia Wildlife Federation, with a membership of approximately 50,000 men and women, take great care of “what little habitat they have left,” as mentioned by Ms. Mahoney. These are the people who work tirelessly in restoring streams, planting new shrubs, pro-
viding feed when needed, etc. Their commitment is also reflected in millions of dollars spent in many communities all over B.C. in the lawful pursuit of fishing, hunting, hiking, teaching youth groups about the magnificent province we live in, etc. You will also see BCWF members involved in Wilderness Watch Programs, helping out with spot checks and road blocks for those using and abusing our backcountry areas. These same “rednecks” are the ones you will find cleaning up trashed campsites after a weekend rage by irresponsible bush pigs, or by removing burned out/ stolen cars and reporting poaching incidents. However, I do concede that the camera idea
is one that could catch on providing, of course, that you are willing to lead the way by taking photographs of that weekend roast you once planned to buy or perhaps the convenient KFC dinner the family requested. With regard to her “ethical” comments, if Ms. Mahoney is an omnivore, then someone else must do her dirty work in order that she may enjoy a balanced, meat-inclusive diet and those nice fashionable leather shoes. Meat packing plants, poultry farms, hog farms etc. are all realities and the employees have little time for photography sessions. Personally speaking, I am grateful for the privilege of living in a country that allows the freedom along with the respons-
ibility to take only what is needed, dispatch it humanely and feed my family and friends with the best and healthiest meat available. As for “preying on innocent animals:” I have

Community benefits from hunting in far North To the editor: “Dead Polar Bear Picture Fires Up Arctic Storm” It was so disappointing to read this headline regarding the posting on Twitter of a dead polar bear by MP Leona Aglukkaq. I do love animals and would never wish to hurt one. I am not a vegetarian and so do eat meat, also eggs and milk. I wear shoes that are sometimes made of leather. Some 90 per cent of Canadians live within 100 miles of the border with the States. Luckily, I live in a fairly densely populated area and have a plethora of outlets at which I can buy my food. Because of this, I can make more choices about the food I wish my family to eat. If we wish to eat

▼ LEARNING PERSPECTIVES
Korean War veterans share experiences with UBC students Local Korean War veterans told their stories about “the forgotten war” to UBC Okanagan students in a community learning project that brought generations together. The class project saw 17 students in Mary Ann Murphy’s fourth-year sociology class paired with Korean War veter-
ans from Kelowna Legion Branch 26. The assignment included exposing students to aging, diversity and inequality. They also learned global and comparative perspectives about Korean War history, recorded the story of Korean veterans and accompanied them on the November Poppy Campaign.
“I have supervised many community service learning projects, but have to say this learning was among the most profound,” said Murphy, who holds a joint appointment with the School of Social Work in the Faculty of Health and Social Development and the Sociology program of the Irving K. Barber School of
Arts and Sciences. Students were required to learn Canadian history, reflect on their feelings about war and hear a variety of sentiments from the public. The students were also exposed to a host of stories, humorous and tragic, about the experiences of men who were probably their age when they

In turn, UBC students returned the numerous messages collected through the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day in the form of memory books that are on display at the Legion. Students and veterans both said they benefited from the experience. George Barr, a veteran of the Second World War, Korean War and Vietnam War, was a tank commander the first time he saw Seoul reduced to rubble 62 years ago. He returned to Korea for 60th anniversary Remembrance ceremonies earlier this year and then became involved in the UBC project. “It means an awful lot, reading those stories and seeing the pictures,” Barr said of the project. He was also impressed by the students’ approach. “The biggest thing that stayed with me about this project was their tremendous attitude towards the veterans,” Barr said. “We were in the ‘forgot-

There have been ‘just wars’ in our times and Korea was one of them. “For me, my perspective has completely changed. We owe a debt of gratitude to our veterans and their families.

Top West Kelowna bureaucrat heads to Victoria Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna’s loss is Victoria’s gain. District of West Kelowna chief administrative officer Jason Johnson has accepted the city manager position with the City of Victoria and will be leaving the district, effective mid-February, 2014. Johnson was the first chief administrative officer hired when West Kelowna incorporated in January 2008. “When incorporation first happened, everybody was sceptical about what the municipality could achieve,” said Johnson. “When I look back at what we’ve all achieved as a team, it’s nothing short of fantastic.” Johnson came to the Okanagan in 2000 to work with the Regional District of the Central Okanagan as manager of planning. He said his family is excited about the move with some trepidation.
“It’s a new challenge going to Victoria. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with the mayor, council and staff there to achieve what council wants to achieve. “The City of Victoria has been around for a long time and has a lot of long-standing issues; I’m looking forward to getting to understand and working with council to address them.” The district has already begun the search for Johnson’s replacement; however, it’s not going to be an easy position to fill, according to Mayor Doug Findlater. “The district is much further along in its development than I ever anticipated as a chair of the governance committee—a lot of that is due to Jason Johnson,” said Findlater. “This is the guy who has been the driving force to keep things on track…I give all kinds of credit to Jason.” Findlater said he is
optimistic the district will find a suitable candidate
to continue where Johnson left off.

Will the real Mr. D please stand up Kristin Froneman VERNON MORNING STAR
Most of us who have attended some kind of educational institution can recall a teacher that made an indelible mark on our lives, for whatever the reason. From the lovable and relatable Mr. Kotter to John Houseman’s intimidating figure, Charles W. Kingsfield Jr., from the film Paper Chase, those unforgettable teachers have also crept their way into popular culture. The latest to make it into our collective conscious, whether or not we want him there, is Gerry Dee’s Mr. D. A character from Dee’s semi-autobiographical comedy series on CBC-TV, this lackadaisical academic is teeming with confidence to compensate for his incompetence as he tries to instill his vast knowledge to students in his social science class. About to bring The Real Mr. D Comedy Tour to Vernon, Dee (born Donoghue) will be sharing his experiences as a teacher-turned-comicturned-teacher, albeit a fictional one, along with his other observances on life. “I am thankful for what I have,” said the affable and charmingly frank Dee in a recent telephone interview from his office in Toronto. “I think I’ve hit a peak these past five years, but for most of my life I’m
a dad and husband. I started this other thing later in life, so it’s been easier to stay grounded.” Dee, 44, is referring to his current life as a comic-turned-sitcom star. However, before that, as you can guess, he was actually a teacher. A student at De La Salle College, then an all-boys Catholic secondary school in Toronto’s exclusive Rosedale neighbourhood, Dee went on to get his degree and later returned to De La Salle (which became co-ed) to teach physical education and history. “I was a fish out of water there,” laughed Dee. He also coached the varsity hockey team (in Mr. D, his character Gerry Duncan coaches basketball.) “I coached every night. We were not the best in the academy, but I gave my all to my school. But I’m not complaining about all that at all. “My biggest beef now is how teachers are always complaining. There is a percentage that are whiny. It’s not who I would connect with as a teacher or a student.” Dee taught for 10 years before leaving the school in 2003 for other pursuits, namely comedy and acting. Already a regular at comedy clubs and on festival stages in Canada, he did what many Canadian comics eventually do. He made the arduous journey to L.A., living in a rented apartment, trying to make a name
for himself. “My stand-up dream was to be in a sitcom,” said Dee. “But unless you’re down there for a long time, it’s tough. Now if I went down there, it might be OK. You have to have something behind you. Then, I was not in a situation to sell a sitcom to the U.S.” Dee did, however, appear on CBS’s Star Search (hosted by Arsenio Hall), and on the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. He later appeared on NBC’s comedy competition, Last Comic Standing, placing third, the highest ranking for a Canadian comic on the show. It’s back home where he really made a name for himself. A former three-time Canadian Comedy Award winner for Best Comic, Dee found a niche for himself as a slightly stunned, overly confident sports reporter on The Score (now known as Sportsnet 360), where he interviewed, or attempted to interview the likes of NBA superstar Charles Barkley and numerous NHL players. “Athletes, more so in general than the entertainment industry, are jealous and self-absorbed. But many of them are part of a team. When they fail, it’s humiliating. I can relate to that,” said Dee, about his alter-ego, a cross between Ron Burgundy and Ron MacLean, if there can be such a thing. “Now that I am no longer at The Score, I’m not sure what to do with

stand-up comedian Gerry Dee will touch upon marriage, fatherhood and his years as a teacher Dec. 14 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. that character, but there is some of him in Mr. D.” Renewed for a third season, the sitcom is what Dee is focusing his attention on now. He credits the CBC for taking a chance on him, and giving him a venue for some of his edgier, non-PC material.
“I like the fact we are injecting some youth into it. Old people die, so it has to keep reinventing itself. But then people in their 80s watch the show,” said Dee, revealing some of the wisdom he shares with his students as his character. Asked how his former students have reacted to him now being a teacher on television, the author of Teaching: It’s Harder Than It Looks is equally frank. “I know a lot of kids probably hated my guts. If every kid loved you, you were not doing your job. But some of my students became friends,” he said. Dee also alludes to the few who have left comments on social media sites, or written blogs, about knowing the real Mr. D back in the day. “Ninety per cent of the comments on social media are positive, but then there is that 10 per cent that say you suck and I hate you,” he said. “Teaching and stand-up help build a tougher skin. And I come from Scottish background, so my dad never let you get over-confident.” And that, kids, is coming from the real Mr. D.

and the box office take of the first was over $1 billion worldwide. Even more interesting are some of the facts about the movie opening at the Paramount Theatre this week. We already know that Robert Redford can carry a movie, but can he carry a movie when he is the only actor with barely any dialogue? In All is Lost, he stars as a sailor who must fight for survival after his yacht is involved in a collision with a freighter in the Indian Ocean. Somewhat reminiscent of Cast Away, the film’s script was only 32 pages long as the movie has only a few lines delivered by Redford. Even more interesting is that this is the only film in movie history that has only one actor and one writer/director (J.C. Chandor) but has 17 producers of various titles. What I find ironic is that Chandor follows up his Academy Award-nominated debut screenplay for Margin Call with a screenplay with very little dialogue. And to answer the question posed earlier, Rottentomatoes.com says: “Anchored by another tremendous performance in a career full of them, All is Lost offers a moving, eminently worthwhile testament to Robert Redford’s ability to hold the screen.” And with all the publicity that Will Ferrell has been getting showing up everywhere as Ron Burgundy (even doing a television newscast in character on KVMB in Bismark, North Dakota), it is hard to not know that he is back in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Also returning is his news team from the ori-

others want relief from the insecurities of tenancy as they become ever more vulnerable. Most increase their awareness of the importance of friends and social life to health and well-being. Given sky-high prices, many people realize that any move they make into the housing market these days will depend on cooperative investment in one solution or another.
Moreover, by banding together, they feel they might extend the period of time they’re able to live independently in the community. A group of Kelowna residents has formed the Seniors Cohousing Study Group to network on this issue and examine various cooperative housing models and existing projects. Such models typically involve membership in the group, an equity stake,

United Way targets violence prevention and poverty
New grants-based funding by the United yWay will target preventing violence and easing the gburden of poverty. - A grant of $2,000 ewas awarded to the Central Okanagan Elizabeth yFry Society, in partnereship with the Kelowna aWomen’s Shelter, to offer danger assessment training to front-line workers, as part of Kelowna’s Dotmestic Violence Protocol. , Michelle Novakowski, Elizabeth Fry Society eexecutive director, says dthat the training can save -lives. “For the front-line workers who respond when women are seeking help, the danger assessment gives a concrete way to document incidents of violence, threats, intimidation and verbal abuse,” said Novakowski. “No one can live with ythe extreme fear and -stress that living with an sabuser causes, so in oreder to cope women often -minimize what’s goying on, tell themselves ethey’re over-reacting, forget specific incidents and rnumb themselves to their s -

Poverty was another major focus of the new grants with $13,000 divided between Inn from the Cold and the Okanagan
Boys and Girls Club Youth Shelter, to help ensure that Kelowna’s most vulnerable citizens have a warm place to sleep. The Karis Support Society received $8,000 to provide essential items for babies whose parents are struggling financially. In total, United Way awarded just over $51,000 in new Central Okanagan one-time grants this fall, in addition to the community partner funding awarded earlier in the year. Other grants helped to purchase paint and lumber for Days of Caring volunteer projects, supported pet therapy programs for people staying in hospitals and care facilities, sponsored the Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair in September, and created employment opportunities for individuals with diverse abilities. “We are very excited to be able to open United Way funding to new applicants with innovative projects and one-time needs. “We recognize that community needs change,

Bruce Hamilton has watched 11 players from his own WHL team play at past world junior hockey championships. He also witnessed his son, Curtis, wear red and white at the 2011 tournament in Buffalo. But never has the president and GM of the Kelowna Rockets been more invested in Canada’s fortunes at the IIHF World Junior Championship than he is this year. Hamilton has been a key member of Hockey Canada’s management team, as the national junior squad prepares for the start of the 2014 WJC on Boxing Day in Malmo, Sweden. Hamilton, along with former NHL and national team goaltender Sean Burke, and head scout Ryan Jankowski have helped assemble a roster they hope will bring an abrupt end to Canada’s four-year gold-medal drought at the championship. This week in Etobicoke, Ont., the Canadian team, led by head coach Brent Sutter, is in the process of choosing its final 22-man roster. Unlike past years where the final selection camp featured anywhere from 32 to 40 players, the list of candidates this winter sits at just 25—meaning only three players will be released. Hamilton said there were two main objectives in mind when it came to streamlining the selection process. “When I was ap-

skill and talent of each individual player wasn’t the only criteria. “The point I’ve tried to make is that it’s not an all-star team,” he said. “We picked a team that we feel has got six to nine real skilled guys up front, and three or four character players. The guys on defense will bring a little of everything, too. Our team is going to have to play a strong team-game to be successful.” As chairman of the WHL’s board of governors for a decade and the Rockets GM for 22 seasons, Hamilton has experienced the hockey business from many dif-
ferent perspectives. Getting a chance to work closely with Hockey Canada for the first time was a chance he couldn’t pass up. “I think it was a great opportunity, a chance to do something big,” said Hamilton. “A lot of us (WHL GMs) don’t get a chance to move up and do things like, there just isn’t much movement. It’s a bigger stage and a real good challenge. Sometimes you can fall into a bit of a rut, so this is refreshing, something new and exciting to be part of. Hopefully we can bring home the gold.” Following this week’s

The 20-yearold from Leduc, Alta., posted a 2-0 record in two starts last week, allowing four goals on 59 shots for a 1.96 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage in that span. The 5-foot-10, 177-pound netminder is in his fourth and final season with the Rockets.
Kelowna Rockets players took some time before heading out on their road trip this week to make a special delivery to Kelowna General Hospital. Led by team captain Madison Bowey, Rockets players dropped off more than 2,000 Teddy bears to KGH after Rockets fans doused Prospera Place with all sorts of stuffed animals at the Rockets inaugural Teddy Bear Toss on Friday night. “It was a great night and went as good as it could for our first time hosting a Teddy bear toss,” said Rockets director of marketing AnneMarie Hamilton. “We had many of our longtime fans bring in more than one Teddy bear and a lot of businesses stepped up as well. We were very happy to be able to deliver so many Teddy bears to KGH on behalf of our fans.” After a scoreless first
period, Rockets forward Ryan Olsen scored the team’s first ever Teddy bear goal and the Teddy’s rained down onto the ice. In less than five minutes the Rockets game crew and a lot of volunteers from KGH and elsewhere had the Teddy bears cleaned up and the game continued. The Rockets would like to thank everyone who brought a Teddy bear, or many bears as well as Lad at Aeropostle in Orchard Park Mall who was one of many who donated more than 40 bears. The Rockets have committed to holding the Teddy Bear Toss on an annual basis with Kelowna General able to distribute them in the emergency ward and to other patients across the growing hospital. “We were all thrilled with how well the Teddy

Imported talent produces for Warriors Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For someone who grew up in Plano, Texas, it’s no surprise that Jason Cotton possessed little knowledge of a place called West Kelowna, B.C., Canada. Still, once he arrived in the Okanagan, it didn’t take the 6-foot-2 forward long to adapt to his new surroundings. Cotton, one of six American-born players on the Warriors’ roster, not only leads the BCHL team in scoring, but has also been quick to find his comfort zone off the ice. “Obviously it’s a different environment than what I’ve been used to, but it’s been a pretty good transition,” said Cotton, 19, who has 15 goals and 32 points in 25 games, “(West Kelowna) is a gorgeous place, scenery-wise, and that’s not too hard to take. On the ice, the hockey part is pretty much the same everywhere you go, so I’ve just gone out and played my game and it’s turned out pretty well. I’m really enjoying it.”

Warriors’ head coach Rylan Ferster watched Cotton perform last summer at a showcase tournament in Boston and liked a lot of what he saw. When the 2013-14 campaign began, Cotton had intended on playing his second season with the USHL’s Tri City Storm (Nebraska). But when things didn’t work out as planned with the Storm, Cotton accepted an offer from the Warriors to move his skills north. “I heard the BCHL was a very skilled league, I thought it fit my style, so I thought to make the jump here would be a good step,” said Cotton, who is committed to Northeastern University. “I also had an advisor who knows Brent Gough (associate coach), and said a lot of good things about the coaching here. I feel like I’m gaining some confidence here, and (the BCHL) is helping me get ready for the next level.” Like Cotton, Jordan Masters has been quick to feel at home with his new teammates, both at and away from the rink. Born and raised in Rochester, New York, the 5-foot-11 forward played two years of minor hockey in Detroit, followed by the USHL in Michigan, and last season with the New Jersey Hitmen of

FORWARD Jason Cotton is one of six American-born players on the BCHL’s West Kelowna Warriors. the Eastern Junior Hockey League. Partly due to the urging of the University of New Hampshire hockey program—who Masters had initially signed with—the skilled forward decided a move to the junior A game in B.C. made the most sense for his career. “(Rochester native) Mark Zengerle played for Rylan (in Salmon Arm) and he said enjoyed it, so
he was also a key person in me coming to B.C.,” said Masters, who is second in scoring for West Kelowna with 14 goals and 30 points. “I didn’t even know where (West Kelowna) was, I had to pull a google to find it,” he added with a laugh. “So far it’s been unbelievable, the best move of my whole career. The guys have been great and I feel like I’m fitting in pretty well. It’s known as
the best junior A league in Canada, a really good stepping stone to the next level.” Along with Cotton and Masters, Boston product Carl Hesler (30 points), rounds out the Warriors’ top three point-getters this season. The American-born threesome has combined for 41 goals and 92 points, accounting for well over one-third of the club’s total output. Factor in the contributions so far from U.S.born defencemen Ryan Ivey, Ben Tegtmeyer and Zane Schartz, and Ferster says all Warriors’ players from south of the border have had a hand in the club’s fortunes this season. “It’s not by design that we’ve got that many American kids, it’s just worked out that way this season,” Ferster said. “They’ve all been key for us, they’re all really big parts of our team. You could say we’ve really hit home runs with all these guys.” Ferster’s Warriors (1611-1-2) return to action Friday when they host the Merritt Centennials, 7 p.m. at Royal LePage Place.

SCHUBERT, GUENTER OTTO
November 9, 1922 – November 27, 2013 After 91 years, Guenter passed away peacefully in Vernon, BC. He was born in Berlin, Germany. In 1958 he brought his wife and children to Vancouver. As a trained Tool and Die Maker, he soon found employment and later started his own company, GS Industries, Inc. His appreciation of music from the Old Country kept him singing in choirs for over 50 years, first with M.V. Lyra in Vancouver and later with the German Male Choir in Kelowna. Guenter managed to stay out of hospitals for most of his life, enjoying a rich, full life and allowing him to travel the world. He will be lovingly remembered by his children Barbara and Peter, their mother Waltraud, his wife Ursula, his stepdaughter Joan (Robert) Spencer, stepson Frank (Sherri) Hakkaart, 9 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Private family Memorial Services have been held. Donations in Guenter’s memory may be made to the Salvation Army, 1480 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 5Y5.

▼ AUDI KELOWNA
Car dealership moves into new headquarters on Enterprise Way This week’s column is dedicated to Derek Wojtula, of Solutions Print & Copy, who passed away suddenly at the age of 63. Derek and his wife Val were huge supporters of the Kelowna-Kasugai Sister City Association, members for over 15 years. A celebration of life for Derek will be held on Dec. 28, 2 p.m., at Springfield Funeral Home. Personal condolences to Val, daughter Lindsay and Derek’s many friends.

udi Kelowna has opened its spectacular new building at 2621 Enterprise Way. Owner Ed Turner purchased what is now Turner Volkswagen Audi at its 1717 Harvey Ave. location in 2002.With the dealerships’ recent growth it has become necessary for Volkswagen and Audi to be separated in their own showrooms dating back to 2011. The search for property went on for 12 months until Turner purchased the former Winn Automotive building on Enterprise Way in September. For renovations, the front of the existing building was removed to accommodate an eight-car showroom along with a state-of-the art delivery bay. With $1.4 million in renovations, the building’s footprint was changed from 12,000 to 16,000 square-feet. Most of the staff were already working for Turner at the Harvey location, so the ramp-up time was minimal and many staff have been promoted to

Caroline Book is retiring from the Ramada Hotel after more than 30 years of service in housekeeping/laundry. She started as a room attendant and has worked in the laundry department for the past 28 years. Here are some fun facts about Caroline’s career—she has worked over 6,700 days (always with a smile); she has washed and folded over one million pounds of towels and over 1.2 million sheets (yes million!); if she placed those sheets endto-end starting in Kelowna, she would be placing the last one down about 200 miles east of Thunder Bay; if she worked non-stop, 24 hours a day, she would be washing linen for over six years. Makes me tired just thinking about it. Caroline is a wonderful person and will be sorely missed at the

Forty-six West Kelowna residents have told their stories and shared their frustrations with health care services in West Kelowna since an initial call for submissions was put out last month. But the West Kelowna Residents Association knows there are many more people than that who want to see change. Last month, the WKRA asked residents to help identify gaps and problems with existing health care services on the Westside. The residents association has agreed to gather the feedback on behalf of Joanne Konnert, the consultant hired by the District of West Kelowna to prepare a report on the proposed Westside health facility. “I think Ms. Konnert is probably expecting a larger number,” said WKRA director Ron Green. “At the last public meeting we had on the subject, we had 245 people there.” Green said the responses so far have given

The West Kelowna teenager currently on trial for murder will finally tell her version of the events that left one of her peers dead, and turned a quiet Peachland street into a chaotic crime scene. The 18-year-old, whose name is under a publication ban, is alleged to have stabbed Ashlee Hyatt, 16, in her neck after an argument at a June 2, 2010, party. It’s a story that Crown counsel Murray Kaay assembled a number of witnesses to tell from varying angles, but defence lawyer Ingrid Friesen pointed out Friday that none of those viewpoints added up to a complete picture. “You as a jury will be the first to hear her side of the story—she wants very much to tell it,” Friesen told a B.C. Supreme Court jury Friday. “She’s been waiting two years to tell it.” The accused, who defence described as a “new girl trying to fit in at a new school,” has seen her point of view be absent in the last two weeks of trial, as even RCMP officers who dealt with the investigation failed to offer her perspective on what happened that night. What the jury has learned from teen witnesses who were there, however, is that the accused kissed a boy, while her boyfriend was nearby. This apparently upset Hyatt and the two started exchanging verbal barbs, which escalated to further pushing on the street, and eventually Hyatt was fatally wounded. Continuing on with the altercation, however, was the teenage host of the party. The defence has already suggested she was the one who brought the knife to the fight between the accused and Hyatt, and Friday two witnesses took the witness stand to highlight the teenage host’s behaviour in the aftermath and leading up to the fatal altercation. They also called upon George Young, who lives adjacent to the party house, to give testimony. Young testified he was brought into the fray when he heard a teenage boy in the street talking into his cellphone, saying, “It’s going down, it’s going down, it’s happening now.”

he day’s last light was fading and the first flakes of snow were falling outside the window, when a large black bear came ambling down the slope into the flower bed. There he began vigorously digging a hole, tossing plants aside as he went. A loud rap on the window sent him scurrying through the trees to the road, but the damage had been done in the garden. What if someone had come around the corner of the house and surprised that big animal? Others tell of watching as a large black bear ambled up their residential street, systematically exploring every driveway for garbage bins left out or other treats to eat, knocking over bins and laying down in the mess of trash in the road, while chewing on whatever was available.

Premier Christy Clark announced the provincial government’s support of several liquor policy recommendations at a stop in West Kelowna Wednesday morning; however, liquor sales in grocery stores was not one of them. Clark—who toured Volcanic Hills Estate Winery before speaking to visitors and the media— said the public has shown a desire for more convenience, but said she has concerns about public safety. “It’s a primary concern of mine in making sure we deliver on the convenience people want, protect health and safety, but also promote B.C. products,” said Clark, who added more announcements regarding liquor policy reform are likely to come in the future. Following parliamentary secretary for liquor policy reform John Yap’s B.C. Liquor Policy Review, which engaged 80,000 residents online as well as others who attended town hall meetings throughout the province, Clark indicated support of several of the 70 recommended policy changes Wednesday. “We all know our liquor regulations are antiquated. They’re out of date, and it’s been that way for a very long time,” said Clark.

VOLCANIC Hills Estate Winery proprietor and president Bobby Gidda gives Premier Christy Clark a tour of the winery prior to an announcement regarding provincial liquor policy changes Wednesday morning. Clark first announced manufacturers will be able to sample and sell their made-in-B.C. liquor at venues such as farmers’ markets, festivals and offsite tasting rooms. “This is a win for consumers; it’s a win for local farmers’ markets,” said Clark. Manufacturers will also be allowed to expand their
on-site tasting venues. “That means people visiting the winery will be able to enjoy a bottle of wine in the vineyard picnic area,” said Clark. “Imagine being able to walk down to the edge of the lake, enjoy your bottle of wine with a picnic here in the beautiful Okanagan and how much that will enhance people’s ex-
perience.” Other changes include: Enhanced marketing, exploration of a new quality assurance program—similar to the VQA program— for distillers and craft brewers and a more streamlined application process for facilities such as ski hills and golf courses to temporarily extend their liquor licenced area to another part of the
property. “We need to, as a government, respond to the people of the province who say they do want change.” The premier said some of the changes could be introduced as early as spring 2014. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

If West Kelowna stays on the path of a 2.95 per cent tax hike, it would be identical to the 2013 increase. Council will have $457,509 worth of discretionary funds, which can be used to reduce taxes. Increases to the library budget account for 0.45 per cent of the tax increase
and contractual increases for RCMP and fire services have also impacted the increase. The plan includes $10.5 million in capital projects for 2014 and $4.6 million has been budgeted to put into reserves. “Council will play with that 2.95 figure,” said Findlater, adding it’s un-
likely that number will be increased. “I suspect that’s the upper limit, but it may come down a little bit as council goes through this line by line.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

But the Crown corporation says the remaining one third of Canadian households that still get home delivery will be switched to community mailboxes or grouped or lobby mailboxes over the next five years. It cites declining use of postal mail – a billion fewer pieces of mail were delivered last year compared to 2006 – as households shift to online bill payments and other digital communication.

be needed, which Canada Post says will be shed by attrition, as nearly 15,000 workers are expected to retire or leave voluntarily over the next five years. “With its current labour costs, Canada Post has a much higher cost structure than its competitors in the private sector have,” Canada Post said in a news release. “This is simply not sustainable.” The reduced workforce and other changes are expected to save a combined $700 to $900 million per year. A Conference Board of Canada report last spring found Canada Post would face losses of $1 billion a year by 2020 without major reform. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

WEST KELOWNA ▼ CITY MANAGER
Top West Kelowna bureaucrat heading to Victoria Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna’s loss is Victoria’s gain. District of West Kelowna chief administrative officer Jason Johnson has accepted the city manager position with the City of Victoria and will be leaving the district, effective mid-February, 2014. Johnson was the first chief administrative officer hired when West Kelowna incorporated in January 2008. “When incorporation first happened, everybody was sceptical about what the municipality could achieve,” said Johnson. “When I look back at what we’ve all achieved as a team, it’s nothing short of fantastic.” Johnson came to the Okanagan in 2000 to work with the Regional District of the Central Okanagan as manager of planning.

He said his family is excited about the move, but there is some trepidation. “It’s a new challenge going to Victoria,” said Johnson. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with the mayor, council and staff there to achieve what council wants to achieve. “The City of Victoria has been around for a long time and has a lot of long-standing issues.

Q A
I am concerned about whether or not I will be able to retire in the lifestyle I want. When should I start planning for my retirement?
Planning for both the financial and non financial aspects of retirement is a very important matter. However, experience shows that few people prepare adequately for retirement, particularly from a financial point of view. Although it is never too late to take steps to improve your financial situation, I strongly believe that one should develop a retirement plan at least 10 to 15 years before one plans to retire. The earlier one starts planning, the more opportunity will be available to make any changes/adjustments which may be required to make your retirement goals become a reality. A meaningful retirement plan should establish the goal of what specific age you wish to retire, determine the amount of money/income you will need to support your desired retirement lifestyle, take into account the impact of taxes and inflation, and provide you with an action plan to help you bridge any gaps you may need to overcome in order to achieve your retirement goals.

Q A
Would you like to stop snoring? Are you CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)intolerant?
Do you snore? Does your partner snore? If you suffer from snoring you may find that you are waking up each day feeling tired and listless, unprepared to start the day ahead. If your partner is snoring you may wake up feeling exactly the same way. Snoring also may be a sign you have sleep apnea, a potentially deadly condition where you stop breathing at night. Snoring/sleep apnea disrupts your ability to sleep deeply and completely. It makes no difference whether the snoring is happening to you or to someone that you are close to. Either way, you are unable to get the sleep that is so important for physical and mental health. Fortunately there are snoring/sleep apnea solutions. The first thing that you have to do is to find out the cause of the snoring so that you can address it properly. Why are you snoring? There are a number of reasons. You may find that you are snoring due to an obstruction that is caused by the way that your jaw is formed and the way that your teeth and tongue fit in your mouth. This is often the case in sleep apnea. You need to be tested to see if you have sleep apnea. Snorers, sleep apneics, and those who are CPAP intolerant may benefit from an oral device from a properly trained dentist. For further info...

Q A
Are used patches (example Nitroglycerin patch or Fentanyl Patches) safe to dispose of in the garbage?
No this is not safe. After using a patch, there is still enough medication in it to be dangerous to other people and pets who are not used to it. Used patches are safely disposed of at the pharmacy. Always keep the original packaging so you can put the used patch in it.

Other things to consider about medicated patches: 1. Be careful of patches that do not stick properly. Make sure that you are always aware if the patch is on you during use. This is to avoid accidental exposure to children, pets and other family members. 2. Try not applying your patch in front of children. If they see you, explain to them that these are dangerous medications and not a bandaid or sticker.

Imported talent produces results for Warriors Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For someone who grew up in Plano, Texas, it’s no surprise that Jason Cotton possessed little knowledge of a place
called West Kelowna, B.C., Canada. Still, once he arrived in the Okanagan, it didn’t take the 6-foot-2 forward long to adapt to his new surroundings. Cotton, one of six

American-born players on the Warriors’ roster, not only leads the BCHL team in scoring, but has also been quick to find his comfort zone off the ice. “Obviously it’s a different environment than what I’ve been used to, but it’s been a pretty good transition,” said Cotton, 19, who has 15 goals and 32 points in 25 games, “(West Kelowna) is a gorgeous place, scenery-wise, and that’s not too hard to take. On the ice, the hockey part is pretty much the same everywhere you go, so I’ve just gone out and played my game and it’s turned out pretty well. I’m really enjoying it.” Warriors’ head coach Rylan Ferster watched Cotton perform last summer at a showcase tournament in Boston and liked

planned with the Storm, Cotton accepted an offer from the Warriors to move his skills north. “I heard the BCHL was a very skilled league, I thought it fit my style, so I thought to make the jump here would be a good step,” said Cotton, who is committed to Northeastern University. “I also had an advisor who knows Brent Gough (associate coach), and said a lot of good things about the coaching here. I feel like I’m gaining some confidence here, and (the BCHL) is helping me get ready for the next level.” Like Cotton, Jordan Masters has been quick to feel at home with his new teammates, both at and away from the rink. Born and raised in Rochester, New York, the 5-foot-11 forward played two years of minor hockey in Detroit, followed by the USHL in Michigan, and last season with the New Jersey Hitmen of the Eastern Junior Hockey League. Partly due to the urging of the University of New Hampshire hock-

ey program—who Masters had initially signed with—the skilled forward decided a move to the junior A game in B.C. made the most sense for his career. “(Rochester native) Mark Zengerle played for Rylan (in Salmon Arm) and he said enjoyed it, so he was also a key person in me coming to B.C.,” said Masters, who is second in scoring for West Kelowna with 14 goals and 30 points. “I didn’t even know where (West Kelowna) was, I had to pull a google to find it,” he added with a laugh. “So far it’s been unbelievable, the best move of my whole career. The guys have been great and I feel like I’m fitting in pretty well. It’s known as the best junior A league in Canada, a really good stepping stone to the next level.” Along with Cotton and Masters, Boston product Carl Hesler (30 points), rounds out the Warriors’ top three point-getters this season. The American-born threesome has combined for 41 goals and 92 points, accounting for well over one-third of the club’s total output. Factor in the contributions so far from U.S.born defencemen Ryan Ivey, Ben Tegtmeyer and Zane Schartz, and Ferster says all Warriors’ players from south of the border have had a hand in the club’s fortunes this season. “It’s not by design that we’ve got that many American kids, it’s just worked out that way this season,” Ferster said. “They’ve all been key for us, they’re all really big parts of our team. You could say we’ve really hit home runs with all these guys.” Ferster’s Warriors (1611-1-2) return to action Friday when they host the Merritt Centennials, 7 p.m. at Royal LePage Place. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com
