2013 was a bounce-back year for the Okanagan Sun football squad, posting an 8-2 record and hosting a B.C. Football Conference playoff game at the Apple Bowl.

COLUMNIST Joel Young reflects on while Christmas is the season of expressing gratitude, that is something we should make a point of doing in our daily lives all year long.

Manhunt suspect returned to court Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Shackled and in shambles, the West Kelowna man who fled from police while on bail just over a week ago made his return to a local courtroom. Neil Collins was apprehended by police Dec. 28, and due to what police are calling “personal health reasons,” he was in hospital for treatment until Monday when he appeared in court. Sgt. Wade Seversen wasn’t able to add much detail to the story of Collins’ arrest, although he did say he was picked up in a West Kelowna residence. The arrest is a bit of a new beginning for Collins. Had he chosen to go to his Dec. 19 court date, and not go on the run, he would have been sentenced for several drug dealing and weapons charges that he’d pleaded guilty to. Several other charges may have been stayed that day, as well. Justice Al Betton, however, informed Collins Monday that he may not be able to continue on with the deal that was originally struck. Further clarity on his future with the courts will be made clear at his next court appointment, Jan. 6. Although Collins won’t appear in person for that appointment either, opting to make his court date via video link. In his brief Monday court appointment, Collins repeatedly said he wanted to go back to Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre rather than stay in Kelowna cells. See Court A2

Orchardist faces six months probation for making threats Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A former president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association may have to find alternate ways to sell his apples in the new year. Kirpal Boparai, 52,

pleaded guilty to a charge of uttering threats earlier in the month and Monday was sentenced to six months probation and a fine. It will leave him with a criminal record, which could make travel across

the U.S. border difficult, which could impact his ability to make a living as a fruit grower. Defence lawyer Clarke Burnett had told the court that Boparai regularly sells his apples to Washington packing-

houses, and sentencing that came with a criminal record would create hurdles to that avenue of business. That argument, however, didn’t appear to resonate with Judge Anne Wallace, who said that a

conditional sentence— which would let Boparai walk away without a permanent record—was not appropriate. “When you take on a role of community leader, the community expects more,” she told Boparai.

She also noted that the longtime orchardist’s post-arrest behaviour was of particular concern. In an agreed statement of fact read to the courtroom, the details of Boparai’s high profile falling out with fellow or-

NEWS

2013: A final look back

The Capital News review of what created news in the Central Okanagan over the past year concludes with a look back at the events of October through December. OCTOBER

• An apparent truck fire in Rutland in early September was actually a bomb, RCMP said; and the owner of the truck was not cooperating with police. It was the second car bombing of the year. • Okanagan College celebrated its 50th anniversary with Premier Christy Clark on hand for the festivities. • Jury members at the Joelon Verma trial learned police had been watching the accused killer in the months leading up to his arrest as they tried to assemble the complicated circumstantial case which would lead to his conviction. • Two West Kelowna teachers won the Gale and Library Media Connection TEAMS Award, a prestigious honour bestowed by Cengage Learning (an education technology company) for rethinking how ancient history is taught. • The new Rutland transit exchange opened. • The Major Midget league marked a decade of play. • A UBCO professor

proposed a route to the campus for cyclists and launched a petition suggesting riders circumvent Roberts Lake onto the new endowment lands. • The owner of a car parked near Okanagan College loses the vehicle after it is set on fire twice in one night. • A head-on collision on Highway 97 between Kelowna and Vernon sent two people to hospital. To the amazement of the rescue personnel on scene, both parties lived. • A small plane crashed at Kelowna International Airport; the student pilot was practicing take-offs and landings. • City councillor Andre Blanleil was named Business Leader of the Year by the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce. • It was estimated the spring frost and periodic hailstorms would see Okanagan tree fruit growers claim some $15 million to $18 million in damages on insurance claims. • The lawyers for Joelon Verma and the Crown made their final

arguments before sending the jury in to deliberate on whether or not he killed Brittney Irving, a young marijuana broker scrambling for money in the wake of a grow-op bust. • A High Road drug house made headlines for the second time in a year after police traced a car loaded with drugs and money back to the home. The first incident saw RCMP officers draw their guns in a standoff that closed the street and brought the RCMP helicopter out. • The Gospel Mission served up 700 dinners for Thanksgiving. • The union and management at B.C. Tree Fruits Cooperative struck a seven-year agreement. • Conservation officers warned hunters were wracking up violations. • Signs the community was stepping up to help homeless youth in West Kelowna included more meals offered by churches; the generosity followed on the heals of a forum on the issue last May. • The Rotary Arts Centre was getting ready

A SMALL plane spun off a Kelowna airport runway in October as the student pilot was practicing take-offs and landings. to host its Sugar Skull Strutt on Nov. 1 with a nod to the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration. • There will be a 1.77 per cent tax increase for the coming year to cover the cost of operating the Okanagan Regional Library system. • A man who went looking for firewood was found dead in Lake Country and emergency responders came forth with a plea to ensure loved ones contact authorities immediately upon feeling something is wrong. It is not necessary to wait 24 hours before contacting police as one sees on television, they said. • Mark Batraki apologized in court for killing Rutland resident Jules Kreeft. He plead guilty to driving without due care and attention in relation to the March 2012 crash that saw Kreeft thrown from his motorcycle when Batraki rear-ended Kreeft and his wife, Vivian. • Lenetta Parry was named executive director of both the Westside Community Food Bank and the Kelowna Community Food Bank following the abrupt dismissal of long-time executive director Vonnie Lavers. • Larry Wayne Jesse, named a dangerous offender after a bizarre sexual assault in Winfield eight years ago, had his

bid to overturn his sentence denied. Jesse had inserted a cork into the body of a woman who passed out at a house party; he had previously been convicted of sexual assault for inserting plastic shopping bags into a woman’s body. • The Okanagan Wetlands Strategy got underway, with residents asked to identify wetland areas in the region and define why they are valuable. • Bath salts made a big splash in the Okanagan after a large shipment of the designer drug was intercepted en route to a West Kelowna business. • The City of Kelowna and Wet Ape Productions decided it would be better to move the popular Centre of Gravity festival away from the August long weekend in an effort to prevent rowdiness, maximize tourism potential and expand the breadth of its audience. • Ben Stewart was awarded a trade post in Asia after being asked to give up his seat in the provincial legislature to Premier Christy Clark after she failed to retain her Vancouver riding in the provincial election. • A suspicious package had Okanagan RCMP members back on the bomb beat trying to track down whether a beeping sound postal workers

heard in one package was a bomb. It was an alarm clock. There were two car bombings and one individual was arrested with a house full of bomb-making equipment in 2013.

NOVEMBER

• Barry Penner, acting as the lawyer for Ashland Chemicals, was drumming up support from the business community as it prepared to try and save the Central Okanagan’s rail service. • Conservation officers warned drinking, driving and shooting was not permissible. • The Supreme Court of B.C. ruled the Ogopogo Radio Controller’s Association could not continue flying remote controlled plans on farmland within the ALR in Lake Country. • The Kelowna Fire Department was authorized to ramp up its education campaign in response to the threat balcony fires pose on the many four-storey woodframe apartment and condo buildings in Kelowna. • Delegates attending a special general meeting of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association were split on how drastically they wish to change their ‘parliament’ in light of changing times. • It was revealed Peachland journalist

David Preston is facing child pornography charges. • Long-time city councillor and chairman of the Central Okanagan Regional District board Robert Hobson said he is not likely to run for re-election in 2014, thus capping a 26-year career. • Lake Country council was battling the gravel pit issue, eventually voting ‘no’ on a proposal to locate one within the district. • Jim McMillan, owner of McMillian farms, came forward with a plea to have work done on Mission Creek in order to stop the annual flooding of his fields. • Jodi Quibell held the third annual Kelowna Food for Gifts event hosting a garage sale in Glenmore where items were paid for in food bank donations. • Scott Ross, a onetime UBCO student who ran for city council, told his story to the Capital News in order to help FortisBC workers find more traction for their plight; he and his coworkers had been on the line for five months. • A group of marketing students got started on a project to bring a new identity to Rutland. • Fruit growers in the

▼ OUR VIEW

Cost of living will continue to rise

s we close out 2013 today and prepare to turn the page to open 2014 on Wednesday, what lies ahead for the Central Okanagan in the 12 months to come remains a bit of a mystery. After suffering through two difficult years from an economic perspective in 2011 and 2012, there were signs this past year of things getting better. Government infrastructure spending in health care and city services helped provide some stability, while the real estate

market began showing signs of recovery, although not nearly to the same sales intensity that was registered for several consecutive years until the economic recession began to take hold at the end of 2009. The small business sector, our local entrepreneurs, continue to grow in numbers as will our population continue to increase. Kelowna has always been seen as the land of opportunity for people wanting to create their own job by starting a business, and that is not likely to

change in 2014. The burden on local taxpayers with fees and taxes continuing to escalate, from property taxes and just about every other government service to our power bills and car insurance rates, should be of concern moving forward. Finding ways for taxpayers to stretch what we earn further rather than relying on continual unaffordable wage increases, whether in the private or government job sector, needs to be a greater priority to address for all levels of govern-

ment, but it’s an issue that continues to be deflected down the road in the interests of shortterm political expediency. The Central Okanagan will continue to be an expensive place to live in 2014. Most of us know someone in our region who is working out of town, usually in Alberta or northern B.C., to make a high wage and support living the Okanagan lifestyle, something the local economy couldn’t provide in 2013 and will continue to struggle to do in 2014.

A wish list with little hope of being realized in 2014

ere are a few things I’d like to see in B.C. political life in the coming year, but won’t. An orderly schedule of legislature sittings, one in the spring and one in the fall. I canvassed this topic with Premier Christy Clark in our year-end interview, and got the usual runaround about how it’s always been optional since old Gordon what’s-his-name set the schedule of sittings and elections more than a decade ago. Spring is for

the budget and MLAs sit in the fall if they need to discuss legislation. They need to all right, but what governments want to do is Tom ram it through as fast Fletcher as they can, so that’s what they do. The last couple of years of this have been a sham worthy of a South American banana republic, with three chambers running simultaneously and Opposition members trying to prepare as they run down the hallways. It leads to mistakes in new laws and adds to the public’s cynicism

VICTORIA VIEWS

about the whole business, but it gets things done with minimum exposure of the government to criticism. Stephen Harper would approve. A political debate about real issues, rather than just a competition to score points in an endless election campaign. I appreciate that this is hopelessly naive, but setting aside enough time to consider issues could, at least in theory, lead to that happening occasionally. Certainly the hastily staged mock combat of our legislature today isn’t winning new friends for any political party. The main growth area today is people who have given up on the

whole thing. An opposition with ideas. The B.C. NDP will have another leadership contest in 2014, and they’d better bring more modern policy to the table than they had in the last one. Remember the big issues in that pillow-fight? Me neither. I had to look them up. Health care? Local organic carrots into the hospital food. Forest industry? A job protection commissar to force the mills to stay open. Resource development? They’re for it, unless you’re against it. These guys need a Tony Blairtype makeover. They need to be for something, and they need to leave the past behind.

Media that care about more than conflict. News organizations are in bad shape these days, and the competition for a rapidly fragmenting audience is o having some ugly effects. One thing that needs to go is ob- t sessive coverage of who’s winning t and who’s losing. If the news media c are going to be interested mainly in h the gaffes and gotcha moments, is it a any surprise that’s what politicians try k to provide? The Canada Post announcement u that it has to wind up home delivery i offers a recent example. Is it really so l a See FletcherA7 h

Better if eye surgeries were done at KGH To the editor: The impact of a diagnosis that one requires immediate surgery to repair a detached retina is without a suitable adjective. This was the situation I faced on Thursday, Feb. 23 of this year as an optometrist here in Kelowna had me rushed to the office of an ophthalmologist and vitreoretinal surgeon. The urgency with which these two doctors made room in their busy schedule was a blessing and somewhat of a shock, as I moved toward an uncertain future suddenly blind in one eye. From there, arrangements were made for me to travel to Kamloops on the following Tuesday to meet with the cataract and vitreoretinal surgeon that would perform the first surgery on my left eye on the morning of Thursday, March 1. The doctors in Kelowna were skilled at the highest professional level, and the surgical team in Kamloops was brilliant.

As a citizen of the Okanagan for about 14 years, I must consider it my responsibility to bring a potential administrative oversight to your collective attention. All Okanagan residents requiring vitreoretinal eye surgery must leave the valley they call home. The vast majority are sent to the Lower Mainland (deferring assets away from Interior Health), and about 20 per cent are dealt with in Kamloops. Whether victims of sporting, automobile, or other accidents; the need for vitreoretinal surgery is always urgent. It is also important not to overlook the requirements of the residents who have come here to retire or diabetics who may likely face emergencies of this nature. These procedures often involve the injection of intraocular gas which can expand. This means that travel over mountain passes can be very painful, and air travel is not an option. Every patient must also hope for a clear highway throughout the year and someone to

provide for them and their families. The recent upgrades at Kelowna General Hospital can now supply the necessary operating facilities. We also have capable surgeons with all the rights and privileges to accompany their impressive sets of credentials. The use of Kelowna General Hospital would reduce the overall financial, physical and psychological burden for patients from the Okanagan to the Kootenays. Objection, scepticism and indifference are unlikely attitudes to this change of policy. It seems far more likely that your attitudes would embrace kindness, empathy and respect. Therefore; I urge government to divert the human, financial and surgical resources at its disposal to address this situation as soon as possible. Marcus F.L. Vroom, Kelowna

It’s not charity to teach someone to live with vision loss To the editor: For a very long time I have felt that there was a fundamental flaw with our health care services specifically with vision loss. Perhaps the time has arrived to examine how rehab for vision loss is delivered and who actually is “responsible.” It is becoming obvious

the current delivery model via public donations is no longer effective way to mediate functional vision loss. Any life altering condition resulting in a functional loss and requiring rehabilitation to regain function or to maintain one’s independence must be covered equally under

our medical services plan. Currently this is not so. While MSP will cover most treatments and surgeries for vision loss, when the final outcome results is unrecoverable sight, one must then learn “how to live blind.” This should not be viewed as a solely “charitable event.” I can only im-

agine the public outcry if someone recovering from a stroke were referred to the Heart and Stroke Society to fund their rehabilitation needs. The same would be unacceptable if the physio (now covered under MSP) following hip replacements, became the responsibility of the osteoporosis society?

When vision loss effects every aspect of one’s daily functioning, don’t you feel it odd that it is not taken more seriously? Joyce Mainland, Kelowna For the full transcript of this letter, please visit www.kelownacapnews. com Opinion.

▼ FEDERAL DICTATORSHIP

Canada’s government anything but democratic To the editor: Prime Minister Stephen Harper will tell Dan Albas (Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla) how to vote on the Reform Bill C-559, just like Harper will continue to tell Albas, Ron Cannan (Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country), and all the other federal Conservative MPs how to vote on any bill. Mainstream political parties have arbitrarily allowed their leaders to use party discipline to control the votes in all of our legislatures. Bill C-559 will not change that. Party discipline has effectively destroyed any semblance of democracy in our federal and provincial legislative assemblies. Albas is also ignoring the fact that we are being ruled by a federal statute, commonly referred to as The Constitution Act of Canada, adopted in 1982 by the federal Liberal govern-

ment. While we were supposed to have become a free and democratic society, former prime minister, the late Pierre Elliott Trudeau, made sure that all we achieved was a form of self-government. The Statute insists we must have democratic elections, however, it does not state that we must have democratic governments. Albas may ask: “What exactly is Bill C-559?” It is called the Reform Act of 2013 and was introduced recently by MP Michael Chong, MP for the federal riding of Wellington-Halton Hills. In reality it is a cry from the people to dump the colonial style governments that are destroying our country. Albas: Does Bill C-559 increase democ-

racy? The people are not looking for an increase in the democratic process. They want to end Colonial rule and have honest and transparent governments like other democratic societies; governments that are controlled by the people, not the party leaders. Over the years Canadian men and women have distinguished themselves by fighting for freedom and democracy around the world. On the home front the people we elected in good faith to protect our rights have arbitrarily allowed our political leaders to destroy any semblance of democracy, and turn Canada into a virtual dictatorship. What a contrast, and what a legacy. Andy Thomsen, Summerland

Order, issues too much to ask? Express yourself Fletcher from A6 outrageous for the CEO to suggest that walking to the corner is good exercise? When there’s a 24hour news cycle to fill, it’s a scandal! How many people know that Canada Post’s unfunded pension liabilities amount to $6.5 billion, as it continues to pay a dwindling workforce to hand out mostly advertis-

ing flyers? Should they just keep doing that until they run out of cash? Are taxpayers really expected to maintain another two-tier service that’s only available to selected urban people? Facts to go with opinions. Whether it’s the government’s fantasy figures on job creation or the Opposition’s arithmetic-challenged child poverty

claims, serious problems can’t be understood, much less solved, without defining them accurately. Submitting government advertising to scrutiny by the Auditor General to make sure it is accurate and non-partisan would be a good place to start.

Boparai went to Gill’s property spouting aggressive statements in Punjabi and English. “I’m going to f*** you up,” he said in English, with a shovel in hand. He then added, in Punjabi: “I’m going to kill him right here, right now.” Police were called to the East Kelowna Road orchard, but that didn’t deter Boparai, the court heard. He continued to curse at Gill through the back window of the police cruiser. That led an officer to take Boparai to the local RCMP detachment. On the ride there in the backseat of the car, Boparai continued his tirade. “When I get out of here, I’m going to kill this mother f*****. Not the police officer, the guy who swore at me,” he said, according to the statement of fact. Boparai was told not to make threats in front of RCMP officers, but he did not heed the advice, point-

Q A

I have a fear of loosing my teeth. What can I do to prevent that?

The simple answer is to form a great partnership with a dentist and his/her team. You are your “dentist” far more days than we are. We can give great advice and supportive care to help you achieve your goals, and you are responsible for maintaining those results. Out of interest, if we look a little deeper, there are essentially 4 reasons that one could loose teeth. 1. Trauma – accidents happen and sometimes those accidents result in teeth being knocked out, or being damaged beyond saving. 2. Decay/cavities/worn-out dentistry with cavities. This is a disease and can be treated with new dentistry and your attention to nutrition and homecare. 3. Bone and gum disease. Again, this is a disease that can be managed with appropriate hygiene treatment (sometimes utilizing more technology such as lasers) as well as a heavy emphasis on your homecare. 4. A misaligned bite. This is more involved and requires training and awareness in this area. Consider this – if the gears in your car were misaligned there would be noises, incorrect movements, abnormal wear patterns, and given enough time, flat out breakage. Just like the gears on a car can be realigned by a well-trained mechanic – misaligned teeth and a bad bite can be treated by a well-trained dentist. Make sure you have a great partnership in place.

Q A

I had a party last night and we had two accidents - one was coffee and the other was wine. Will these stains come out of my carpet or are they permanent?

Don’t panic! When these mishaps occur, the first thing to do is blot up the excess with an absorbent towel, but avoid aggressive scrubbing. It won’t help and you may damage the carpet fibers. Apply white vinegar and water mixed 2-1 with a damp cloth and it may dilute or even remove the stain. Coffee, wine, tea and fruit drinks have one thing in common - they have natural color in them and because of this, the carpet may accept this new color and become permanently dyed. Most stain resistant carpets will repel these natural colors and they are easily removed, but not always. The stain resistance will degrade over time. If you have your carpet repeatedly steam cleaned, the hot water and aggressive chemicals will remove this protection leaving the carpet less protected. The Oxy-Dry system is very effective at removing these stains that were once considered permanent and since we always apply our Durashield protector your carpet will resist soiling and staining like it did when it was new and stay clean up to 3 times longer!

My father may recently lost his foot due to his diabetes, will he ever walk again?

Diabetes is one of the most common causes of amputations. Thankfully, there are great prosthetic options to help him walk again. The first step is for your father to meet with a Certified Prosthetist, a specialist educated to assess, design, make, and provide prosthetic treatments. They can discuss with your father what options are available to him. Once his surgical wounds are healed, the prosthetist will take a cast of your father’s limb. From this cast, they are able to design a prosthetic socket which will be attached to a prosthetic foot. This will then be placed onto your father’s residual limb allowing him to stand and walk. Most people are able to return to their daily activities after an initial rehabilitation program. For more information about prosthetics, please contact us at (250) 861-1833.

ing out that he believed local police to be useless. Boparai spent that night in jail. Although his troubles with the law are a first, Boparai is no stranger to controversy. In just a few years he’s gone from being a highly respected member of the fruit growing industry to a man mired in negative publicity. Once the president of the BCFGA, he resigned with a month left in his one-year term. The Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative’s directors had cancelled his fruit contracts and his membership for selling his fruit outside the co-op and he was banned from all coop property. That said, he’s not without allies as numerous penned letters of support for Boparai were taken into account during sentencing. Burnett summed them up by saying Boparai is known as a “generally kind and generous person who is willing to help others.”

BUSINESS DONATION…

Local MLAs Steve Thomson and Norm Letnick visited the Kelowna Family YMCA last week to present a provincial grant for $175,000. On hand were (from left) Thomson; Sharon Peterson, YMCA chief executive officer; Dave Cronquist, YMCA board vice-president; and Letnick. “The $175,000 in funding to the YMCA will go a long way to supporting programs for children and families,” said Letnick, Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country. “From after school care to Healthy Kids Day to Silver Lake Camp the YMCA continues to be an integral part of our healthy community.” Thomson (Liberal MLA, Kelowna-Mission) said he was pleased that the YMCA is able to support local kids and community through the help of the community grant program. “The programs and facility at the YMCA continue to grow in response to our growing community. I encourage all residents to come check out the Y—a facility for all ages.” Cronquist added: “The support of the province furthers the YMCA’s commitment to building healthy communities by providing programs, services, resources and facilities that grow the potential of local children, youth, adults and families.” CONTRIBUTED

Take the time to reflect upon entrepreneurial gratitude E very year when the Christmas season rolls around, I’m often overwhelmed with moments of powerful reflection as an entrepreneur and entrepreneurial leadership advocate, as a father and as a grateful member of our Okanagan community—I am thankful. It seems clear to me and I am certain to many of you that it’s always the right time to live life from a place of gratitude. One of the simplest, yet often overlooked contributors I have discovered and sometimes overlooked to creating a positive culture in my entrepreneurial world is the expression of appreciation. Taking the time to say a simple “thank you” costs nothing but resonates powerful positive intention throughout any organization, any company and in everyday living. Expressing gratitude is a fundamental quality of conscious leadership. Gratitude for the contribution of others in our entrepreneurial journey is yet another facet of empathy. It reflects to me our leadership consciousness of natural human desire to be validated and appreciated. Even the most stressful of times in challenging situations and environments may be relaxed through the expression gratitude.

an entrepreneurial citizen of the Okanagan. I would like to conclude this treatise on entrepreneurial gratitude with a few expressions of my own. First, I’m thankful for my inspirers, as I have been truly blessed with a soul-filled group of men and women who never cease to amaze me with their inner strength and caring, their steadfast commitment to personal growth, their dedication to fostering growth in others through their own experiences, and their ability to meaningfully connect with those around them gives me immeasurable strength. Such people are a priceless gift to me in my roller coaster ride though life. I’m thankful for the larger entrepreneurial community of the Okanagan and afar, a community filled with people who see opportunities in place of obstacles, who take ownership of their actions, who are on a never-ending quest of learning and self-improvement and who are committed to making our world a better place—one venture at a time. They give tirelessly to others, they get back up when they stumble, and unquestionably, they are the engine of economic growth and recovery in our region and our Canada. I am thankful for the ability to give back. I am thankful to all the organiz-

ations, and fellow entrepreneurs and the plethora of wonderful colleagues and associates that have recognized my value, and provide me the opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences with others. My successes and failures provide lessons that will help others in their entrepreneurial journeys and professional growth and self-discovery. Helping others succeed is truly my passion, and the gift of sharing is one that I will forever appreciate and cherish. And finally, I’m thankful to all y loyal readers for your loyalty and support as I strive to contribute to the building of an Okanagan entrepreneurial culture. My purpose in this contributory goal in building a successful culture is to help others create a “culture of greatness” in their own lives, personally and professionally, and to assist our leaders build extraordinary cultures to attract and keep extraordinary people in our midst. I would not be able to carry out this vision and mission without the loyalty and support of those of you who believe in me.

Review: Sun rebounds in 2013 Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

While the season didn’t culminate with a B.C. title or a Canadian championship, the Okanagan Sun enjoyed a return to respectability on the football field in 2013. Under new head coach Shane Beatty and with a young, largely revamped roster, the Sun posted an 8-2 record in the BCFC and hosted a playoff game at the Apple Bowl. It was a significant

turnaround for a team that stumbled to its worst ever record just a year earlier at 3-7. “Shane did a great job with the team, not just with the performance on the field but with the whole structure as well,” said Sun president Paul Carson. “With the recruiting he did, working with the assistant coaches, Shane did a lot of good things from the day he arrived here.” Beatty, who played with the Sun in 1990,

brought NCAA coaching experience with him, along with a tough, but fair approach that rubbed off on the players. Beatty admits even he was surprised at how quickly the Sun came together on the field. “Honestly, when I got here I didn’t know how we were going to do,” said Beatty. “I thought we had some decent athletes, but I was a little sceptical about the level we’d be able to compete at. But the guys gelled really fast and they

believed in each other.” A diligent recruiter, Beatty went back to work just hours after the 2013 season ended and is optimistic about the future. “I’m excited and I think the kids coming back are excited, too,” said Beatty, whose club saw its season end with a 24-13 home playoff loss

to Langley on Oct. 13. “This year ended on a bit of a sour note, so we have some unfinished business to take care of.” Among other highlights for the Sun, three players—Jack Rush, Brennan Van Nistelrooy and Devon Kozar—were named CJFL all-Canadians.

Resolve to be physically active in the new year

new year is almost upon us. After weeks of overindulging throughout the holidays, it never fails: Jan. 1 always brings resolutions for fitness and weight loss. If this happens to be a resolution for you in 2014, let me offer these tips to get you started in the right direction toward success. Most of us have a rough idea about how to lose weight. But where do we start and how do we get there? No pills, formulas, body wraps, or fad diets will provide you with long-term weight loss and good health. Natural weight loss programs are still the most successful way to lose weight and keep those pounds off. As I mentioned in my previous column, weight loss is really quite simple— it’s just a matter of balancing calories consumed with calories expended. A healthy, balanced diet with regular exercise truly is the answer to controlling your weight and reducing the risk for major chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, osteoporosis and cancer

IDENTIFY YOUR WEIGHT LOSS GOALS

Perhaps you want to tone up and get stronger? Has your doctor told you to exercise or lose weight? Maybe you want to be able to keep up with your grandkids? Once you have decided to lose weight, the best way to attain those goals is to write out some small and attainable goals. Once you have met a goal, set another one to keep the momentum going. Don’t forget to reward yourself for your hard work with something unrelated to food, such as a massage or new outfit. Speak, write and visualize your goals. Use Post-It notes or pictures to help you visualize how you want to look and feel. Create SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely) goals.

NO EXCUSES

We all do it—we make excuses to ourselves for not getting enough exercise and for not eating healthier. We procrastinate and say we will do it tomorrow. But to move ahead with weight loss, we have to be truthful with ourselves and decide to make our self,

Get your workout in first thing in the morBobbi ning before your day gets Kittle too busy. Find a workout partner for accountability. Make your meals ahead of time. Use a diet log and exercise journal. Avoid fast food and rid your pantry of junk food. Use positive thinking for motivation for the mental aspect of exercise and diet is the first most important in our battle for weight loss. We need to believe in ourself and our ability to obtain our weight loss goals. Here are some ways to help: • Make it a habit to remind yourself of your health and fitness goals daily • Deal with emotional eating by telling yourself that you are in control of your life and that food will not make it better • Take pictures or create a video diary of your fitness journey to witness the changes in your body and keep you motivated • Use Post-It notes in your home, car, office with personal motivational messages to keep you on track throughout the day • Get around positive, supportive people who encourage you in your weight loss journey • Share your goal with supportive friends for it can help you stay on track and keep you accountable.

Entrepreneur saving memories The idea behind video story-keeping began for Rebecca Robinson when her grandmother was lost to Alzheimer’s disease. “At one point my grandma didn’t recognize us any longer. In her care facility there were photos of strangers in her room, and our family photos had gone missing too,” said Robinson. “I have nothing but respect for staff and nurses in these homes. I just think how great it would be for them to relate to patients better if they really know them.” Her experience led Robinson to pursue her dream for every new senior entering into a care facility to be more than a number. “If they all came in with a video documenting their lives that the staff could watch in less than 30 minutes—think of how the quality of care would

change. They’d have something very meaningful to talk about with each person there.” Robinson started her Life Story Film business in 2010 while living in Guelph, Ont., and has carried it on since moving to the Okanagan three years ago. “I can really help families coping with dementia by retrieving their loved one’s long term memory on film,” she said. So she started Life Story Film. Undertaking a year long business course with a local enterprise center, she became equipped with business savvy to really make a go of it. “I advertised first in a retirement village newsletter and since that time it has been word of mouth for business. I realized I hit on a need.” Life Story Film’s mission is to change the way

seniors are remembered. Robinson said when people learn about what she does, many say they wish they would have met her before losing their grandparent. “I can really relate to the pain of losing a wealth of history and family heritage. I lost three grandparents whose lives and stories are lost and left to those who have a hazy memory of them,” she explained. “I started with video biographies of my own parents since we lived so far away from them. I wanted my kids to have that because you never know…They were able to fill in some blanks of stories I’d heard from my grandma as a little girl. Luckily we’ve saved some heritage that way.” As a former teacher, Robinson was interested in how these family documentaries can reach

kids too. She came across a study that stated children develop a higher sense of self esteem, confidence and self discipline just from having heard the stories of their family background. “I take special care in digitizing and animating family photos for the film. I spend hours selecting a unique soundtrack. I know that these are things kids are used to and if I want them to really listen then multi-media is the way to do that.” Robinson is a member of the International Association of Personal Historians. “Although I live here now, I can operate across Canada.” Rebecca Robinson can be contacted online at the website www. lifestoryfilm.ca, via email at rebecca@lifestoryfilm. ca or by calling 250-8086968.

Easing the discomfort of plantar fasciitis

Local dentist completes new training program

etween the heel bone and the toes runs a strong fascia or ligament. It is made of connective tissue and supports the arch of the foot. The foot has two arches, a length arch and a width arch. The length arch is the one most commonly affected by plantar fasciitis. When the arch is round and strong the bones of the foot are in the right position and there is balance in the foot. When the arch flattens, a lot of strain on the bones and surrounding ligaments is created, resulting in pain, which can easily become excruciating, if not treated prop-

cannot recover from the continuous strain. Jobs that require much standing and walking can also contribute to plantar fasciitis, as can wearing shoes with inadequate support. In all cases, the fascia gets overstressed and becomes inflamed. Western medicine treats this condition with rest and ice in the acute stage and later orthotics may be prescribed. Anti-inflammatory drugs may also be helpful. Very important is the strengthening of the intrinsic muscles in the foot, which support the arch. These muscles have to be strong and wearing the wrong shoes can make them weak. In an acute stage, taping the foot to support the arch, in combination with muscle strengthening exercises, is a good approach to this problem. Stretching the plantar fasciia, Achilles tendon, and calf muscles can also help with recovery. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the sole of the foot is pri-

Athletes, especially those running on hard surfaces, put a lot of strain on their arches and are prone to developing plantar fasciitis.

Kelowna dentist Dr. Andrew Macdonnell has completed the comprehensive continuing dental education program offered by the Kois Center located in Seattle. The prestigious ninecourse curriculum requires over 200 hours of continuing education encompassing all clinical areas of dentistry—gums, teeth, bite problems, cosmetics and implants involving both didactic and hands-on training. “The training that I received at the Kois Center has transformed the way I practice. My ability to provide my patients with long-term dental health solutions has been greatly enhanced,” said Macdonnell. “It is now possible to change the lives of my patients by eliminating pain, enhancing their ability to chew and improving their appearance in a predictable fashion.” Macdonnell has al-

recovering. Acupuncture, together with some rest, can offer relief in foot pain and improved function in a relatively short amount of time. However, plantar fasciitis can be a stubborn problem, simply because we require our feet for almost every daily activity, and this constant use can be a major barrier to healing. Results are quicker if the problem is addressed early on and if treatment is continued regularly until the problem is fully resolved, to prevent the problem from returning. Plantar fasciitis is another example of how acupuncture can successfully treat a common ailment, without using medication or surgery, but simply by harnessing the strength and energy that exists within our bodies.

marily the area of the kidney meridian. It is where the kidney meridian begins and finds its way up to the chest. Close to the fascia runs the bladder meridian, so weakness in the kidney and bladder meridians can result in plantar fasciitis among other symptoms. Internal weaknesses such as these can be a result of our genetic constitution, our habits and lifestyle, or a combination of these factors. Pain and inflammation in Chinese terms are stagnation of blood and qi-energy in the involved meridians, because of a malfunctioning of the corresponding organs. Acupuncture treatment will focus on kidney points, bladder points, galbladder points and so called “ah shi” points, or local pain points. Allowing the foot muscles to rest and recover is also importantthis can mean supporting them with properly fitting shoes, taking time off from exercise or a training routine, or reducing the amount of time you spend on your feet while

CARELESS, KATHLEEN ANN (NEE INGRAM)

January 28, 1941 - December 19, 2013 Kathy passed away peacefully at the Kelowna General Hospital on December 19, 2013. Kathy was predeceased by her husband Ted. Kathy will be dearly missed by her sons Scott and Kevin, her five grandchildren and her great granddaughter, her brother Ken Ingram (Heather), sisters Joan Firkus (Ron) and Jeane Ingram and many nieces and nephews. Kathy and Ted lived in Williams Lake for several years operating their own business before moving back to Westbank where Kathy worked in the packinghouse. Kathy was an avid curler and enjoyed cheering for her boys at hockey and ball games and she always enjoyed a good card game. Kathy will be remembered for her quick sense of humor and will be dearly missed by her family and friends. There are many stories to be told and retold of her fun nature and antics especially at the Ingram cabin on the lake. One never knew what was going to happen when she was around. The family wishes to extend a thank you to the wonderful caregivers at Sun Pointe Village and Spring Valley Care Center and the good care she received at the Kelowna General Hospital. There will be a family memorial at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to your favorite charity.

CAPITAL NEWS

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen the last column It has been decided that my food column will no longer run in the Capital News starting in 2014, so this is the last one, after 824 columns 'from Jude’s Kitchen.' It's been 15 years and 10 months and it’s been great fun. I’ve enjoyed the hundreds of comments I’ve received from readers over the years. Even the criticism about a typing error or omission has nearly always included a compliment as well. Thanks everyone. Over the years, I’ve met all kinds of terrific people from cookbook authors to home cooks, including youngsters learning to cook and men in boardrooms and industry, who love to cook too. The enjoyment of good food is a great equalizer. I’ve had the opportunity to get to know many of the Okanagan’s world class chefs who have been incredibly supportive over the years, as have those in the grape and wine industry that I’ve chronicled as it's taken root and grown into an award winner in this country. Thanks to all of you who have contributed so much to this column over the years, including our farmers and food producers. As we begin a new year, it seems right to look back over the previous 12 months—a bit of a watershed year in my life—and then to consider some hopes and dreams for the coming year. I hope your 2014 is terrific. Remember to continue supporting local farmers, producers, retailers, chefs, wineries and restaurants. Buy local products whenever possible. By doing so, you end up helping yourself with fresher, healthier food while helping all of your neighbours who are making their living by providing top quality food for you. In the process you support your community—and yourself—by helping the local economy stay healthy too. For more recipes using fresh, local ingredients, in season, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, at local bookstores or wine boutiques.

Peppered Steak with Cognac & Cream

This is an old favourite, but the recipe is simple and delicious, so with a good piece of locally-produced meat, it becomes a very special meal. 2 tender B.C. steaks 2 tbsp. (30 ml) peppercorns 2 tbsp. (30 ml) butter 1 green onion 3 tbsp. (45 ml) cognac 1/4 c. (60 ml) beef stock 2 tbsp. (30 ml) cream Use a rolling pin to coarsely crush the peppercorns. I generally used a mix of black, white, green and red, but just black is fine. Finely chop green onion. We prefer 3/4-inch thick rib-eye beef steaks, but a sirloin or whatever your favou-

rite tender steak is, will do just as well. Press both sides of each steak into the cracked peppercorns, then let stand for a halfhour or so. Heat a cast iron pan or other heavy-bottomed frypan, then melt butter in it and when it’s sizzling well, add the steaks, cooking for 2-3 minutes each side for medium-rare. Remove to a heated platter and keep warm. Add green onion to pan, turn it about for a minute, then add cognac and flame it. Add beef stock and mix well with all the brown bits from the pan, then simmer until it’s slightly reduced before stirring in the cream. Spoon over meat on platter and serve immediately. Serves 2 or so.

Carmelis Goatgonzola Spread with Cranberries & Pecans

This spread is simple to prepare, yummy to eat, and it’s quite elegant. It is a fabulous match for Mission Hill Family Estate’s Late Harvest Vidal wine. This pair would make an excellent partner to see the new year in with. Craisins are an Ocean Spray product. Ocean Spray is a co-operative of cranberry growers from throughout North America. Most of B.C.’s cranberry growers are members. Carmelis was founded by a local family of cheese makers, who raise their own goats and make a wide variety of delicious cheeses from goat’s milk. 4 oz. (120 g) Carmelis Goatgonzola 4 oz. (120 g) cream cheese 1/4 c. (60 ml) Ocean Spray Craisins 1/4 c. (60 ml) toasted pecan pieces fresh-ground black pepper, to taste coarse-ground sea salt, to taste

Grate or crumble, or a bit of each, the Carmelis Goatgonzola. You may substitute another blue or Roquefort-style cheese, but this is an excellent local cheese. It’s available at such shops as Okanagan Grocery and Urban Fare when Carmelis is closed in winter. Bring the cheeses to room temperature in a medium-sized mixing bowl, then gently combine them, leaving a few small lumps of the crumbled Goatgonzola. Coarsely chop the Craisins and toasted pecans, reserving a few larger pieces for garnishing. Add Craisins and toasted pecan pieces and combine well with the cheese mixture. Season with fresh-ground black pepper and coarsely-ground sea salt. Serve garnished with a couple of Craisins and pecans and spread on your favourite crackers.

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

Bring your dog inside. Dogs who do not have adequate shelter can succumb to frostbite and hypothermia, and even die. Dogs who are kept outside all the time - no matter what the weather - can suffer physical and psychological harm.

TOWELS & BLANKETS

Please help me, if you’re able and adopt a homeless waif. Find a spot, within your home where it’s comfortable and safe. Be purebred or of mixed breed whichever you can take, I’m sure the one that lives with you a difference s/he will make. One life that won’t be wasted, one fewer soul dismissed. And when your pet looks up at you consider yourself kissed. You’ll find you won’t regret it, so much more you’ll get, than give. Devotion, adoration, trust and spirit glad to live.
