Snelson makes a return to court New life breathed into nostalgia radio ▼ PEACHLANDRADIO.COM

STAFF REPORTER

Neil George Snelson appeared in a Kelowna courtroom Monday, for the first time since 2011 when he was sentenced for manslaughter. Noticeably weathered, but smiling at supporters who gathered, Snelson took a seat as lawyers lined up details for his new trial, which will again look into the killing of Jennifer Cusworth. And returning that smile was one unlikely candidate, who had also settled into a familiar place in the courtroom. “I know he’s not going anywhere,” said Jean Cusworth, Jennifer’s mother, explaining her reaction to her daughter’s alleged killer. “I’m confident we’re going to see justice for Jennifer.” The Cusworths have closely followed the investigation into what was once considered one of Kelowna’s most long-standing cold case investigations. They were the first to learn there was an arrest and they were front and centre during the lengthy trial that put a microscope on their daughter and her 1993 death. So, just two years after that trial, when the Court of Appeal set aside Snelson’s manslaughter conviction because of an error made by the trial judge, they weren’t totally shocked. “It shook us a bit,” she said. “But we’ve been overwhelmed by people who have approached us wanting justice for Jennifer. Strangers, convicted criminals— they all want justice for Jennifer. This is just a blip in the road.” When asked how she felt about a potential change of venue, Cusworth wasn’t ruffled either. “Doing it in the Lower Mainland may make it difficult for witnesses,” she said. Otherwise, she said, a venue change shouldn’t make a difference. The B.C. Court of Appeal set aside Snelson’s manslaughter conviction last month because of an error made by the trial judge. In particular, the trial judge allowed the jury to hear a portion of Snelson’s interview with RCMP, which the appeal courts felt was prejudicial. According to transcripts released in the appeal document, once in custody Snelson held a long conversation with Sgt. Peter Tewfik in which he repeatedly declined to make a comment about his circumstances. In some moments he was silent, in others he would explain he was waiting for his lawyer. See Snelson A4

A new Peachland radio station is giving its listeners golden oldies through a modern medium. Describing Peachlandradio.com as “independent, grassroots, organic, free-range radio,” general manager Allan Holender said the station will feature music from the 1920s to 1960s, a selection of cool jazz and intelligent, conversation radio. “The demographics here are over 5,200 fulltime residents in Peachland…2,800 of those are between the ages of 54 and 85,” said Holender. “I felt that we needed to cater to that audience, first and foremost.” Eventually, Holender plans to provide mainly “live and local” content, while the station plans to stay commercial-free. Holender’s passion for radio began at an early age. When he was 10 years old, his father set him up in the den of their house with a turntable and a microphone. Holender would then broadcast to his mother through a small speaker in the kitchen. Since then, Holender has hosted radio programs in Canada and the United States and interviewed musicians such as Cal Tjader and Michael Bublé. His professional career has spanned five

decades and he has seen plenty of change during that time. “I remember when we first got our licence for the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission),” he recalled. “Four of us sat in a room together and said: Wow, we have an AM licence now—it’s a licence to print money.

“That’s changed dramatically.” According to Holender, terrestrial radio isn’t dead, “it’s just on life support.” Rather than invest in a radio tower and pay for additional costs associated with terrestrial radio, Holender said he is moving with the times by just broadcasting Peachlandradio.com music

solely through the Internet. “I’m 72, but I’ve moved into that digital frontier because I know this is where it’s at.” The Internet-only approach Peachlandradio. com has taken is unique. Although most AM/FM stations also provide websites with online streaming features, Holender said he isn’t aware of any

other community radio station in Canada that only broadcasts online. “There’s been a lot of interest in a lot of the radio professional associations I belong to—they’re tracking what we’re doing.” Holender said he was motivated to create Peachlandradio.com after moving to the area and discovering there wasn’t a local station. “We’ve got a lot of support. We moved here in September and things have happened very quickly.” Peachlandradio.com began playing Christmas music last month as part of its pre-launch phase; currently, the website is playing recorded programming. Although Peachlandradio.com is already up-and-running, a community event will take place in May to celebrate the online station’s official launch. “This is the new radio; it’s unique. I’d love for people to give us a try and listen, and see if they like it.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

New language testing option offers hope to citizenship seekers Okanagan College is providing a new service to would-be citizens whose first language is not English. The college recently became an official venue for IELTS (the International English Language Testing System)—the only location in B.C.’s Interior. “Before, if someone wanted to take the IELTS test, they would have to travel to the Lower Mainland,” explained Ardiss Stutters, chair of the college’s English as a Second Language department. “Now they can take it at our Kelowna campus.” There are two versions of the IELTS, academic and general. The academic version is used for entrance

into post-secondary institutions and the general is used for work or immigration purposes. While both versions have the same listening and speaking sections, they have different reading and writing sections. The general version is one of the measures that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will accept as part of an immigrant’s application for citizenship. Currently, CIC requires that people between 18 and 54 prove they have adequate knowledge of English or French in order to apply for citizenship. While there are a number of ways

to demonstrate those language skills (including successful completion of a post-secondary credential program), one of the acceptable ways involves IELTS scores. “The tests are offered regularly on the weekend to accommodate working people,” said Stutters. Tests have been scheduled for Jan. 18-19, March 8-9, and May 10 -11, offered at the Okanagan College campus in Kelowna through Global Village Vancouver, a 25-year-old English language school in Vancouver that administers IELTS in Canada. To register for one of the exams or to learn more, go to www.ieltsvancouver.com.

Beyond providing tests, Okanagan College is also offering English Language Development for IELTS, an intensive 10-hour-a-week course focused on development of language skills assessed by IELTS. The program runs three evenings a week from January and finishes just in time for the March test. The course goes beyond simple exam practice. Rather, it develops the micro skills that IELTS assesses including topic-relevant vocabulary and academic and general reading and writing tasks typical to IELTS. If the evening course does not suit the student’s lifestyle, Okanagan College has a four-level Academic Eng-

lish program that can be taken parttime for permanent residents. To find out more about the course, email eslchair@okanagan.bc.ca. IELTS is not only used by CIC, it is also one of the standards used by many academic institutions (including Okanagan College) for admission to various programs. More than 20 years old, it is used by 8,000 organizations and last year, more than two million IELTS tests were administered. It is offered at 900 test centres in more than 130 countries. For the IELTS administered at Okanagan College, people are coming from as far away as Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Moving Kelowna mom finds support when truck breaks down in Falkland Jennifer Smith CONTRIBUTOR

Broken down on the side of the road in Falkland, with her daughter and dog, and truck packed to the brim, is where Alesha Taylor thought her luck had run out. But it was in that small North Okanagan town where the season of giving started for the single mom, a former Vernon resident. And it didn’t end there. Taylor and her daughter, Mattaya, were in the midst of a move from Kelowna to her mom’s house in Kamloops on Dec. 18. It had already been a rough year for the 30-year-old when she was suddenly stranded in the

small town of Falkland. Initially, Taylor was lost, trying to hold back the tears as she told her five-year-old daughter that everything was going to be OK—despite the fact that a rod had snapped in her engine. She was just about to give up all hope when a perfect stranger approached her. “Some guy at the gas station let me store the truck for free at his house in Falkland and drove me all the way to Kamloops with my kid, dog and my stuff, as much as they could fit in their car,” said Taylor, forever grateful to the kind stranger. A few days later, with insufficient funds to rescue or fix her truck, Taylor reached out for advice

on an Okanagan vehicle buy and sell group on Facebook. “It was just before Christmas and I had no idea what I was going to do,” said Taylor, suffering from hip pain so unable to walk the one-kilometre trek to the nearest bus stop with her daughter. “I was searching for advice, help, anything.” Brian Brown, of Penticton, saw Taylor’s plea online and as the founder of Rides From Angels, a province-wide group dedicated to connecting people in need with vehicles, he was determined to help. With more than 600 members involved in his group, Brown started to spread the word that there

was a single-mom out there in need of some assistance. By Boxing Day, Taylor was driving a 1991 Ford F150—generously donated by a Salmon Arm couple who wanted to help. She is forever grateful to everyone who helped make her Christmas season merrier, and she too plans to pay it forward. Although money is still tight, she hopes to one day get her own truck fixed and give the truck she was given to someone else in need. Brown admits that aside from spreading the word, Rides From Angels actually played a small role in the truck donation. “A lot of people pitched in and it had very

JENNIFER SMITH/CONTRIBUTOR

ALESHA Taylor and her daughter Mattaya little to do with me on that one,” said Brown, who has since been in discussion with the generous Salmon Arm couple about starting a chapter of Rides From Angels in the North Okanagan/Shuswap region. The goal of the

group, which is working to become a registered charity, is to issue tax receipts to those who donate vehicles, which can then be turned around and given to people in need, like Taylor. “As long as I get to help someone it

makes me feel good,” said Brown.“Although I won’t end up a rich man, I’ll end up with lots of people at my funeral.” To become a member of Rides From Angels, find the group on Facebook.

Conservation officers seek moose poaching suspects Okanagan conservation officers are seeking information from the public on a possible moose poaching incident that occurred on Monday, Dec. 30. Three men were involved

Cusworth case on trial again Motocross rider suffers bad spill Snelson from A1 Then the following exchanged played out. “…You keep talkin’ about what’s gonna happen, you know, that you’re gonna bring closure to this. Is, is your intention to plead guilty then?” said Sgt. Peter Tewfik. “I haven’t made that decision yet. I gotta talk to my lawyer about what, what I want to do,” said Snelson. The Crown was able to get that statement before the jury by arguing it was relevant to the issue of guilt, and “inconsistent with innocence.” But Snelson’s lawyer argued on appeal that the prejudicial effect of the statement clearly outweighs any probative value, and the appeal court sided with him. “Once the statement was admitted

and the Crown sought an inference of guilt from the content of the statement, the trial judge had an obligation to instruct the jury that no inference of guilt could be drawn from the exercise of the right to counsel,” read the decision by Justice Elizabeth Bennett that was released last Thursday. “Instead, the trial judge reviewed the evidence as part of the theory of the defence, endorsing the Crown’s proposed use of the evidence, and compounding the error in law.” That piece of evidence was one of three pillars on which the Crown rested its case, and without it the verdict may have been different, they said. Cusworth, who was 19 at the time of her death, was last seen alive at an October house party, following a night of drinking. Her body was found two days later in a ditch off Swamp Road.

A professional motocross rider from Kelowna was seriously injured Friday night in Hamilton, Ont., after his bid to set a record for motorcycle flips went horribly wrong. Witness videos show Bruce Cook, 27, just failing to set the record double front flip, falling from his dirt bike and crashing into a ramp at the Copps Coliseum. Cook is believed to have suffered a severe spinal injury in the accident. He was rushed to Hamilton General Hospital and underwent three hours of surgery. In a message posted on his Facebook account, Cook said he has been “blown away” by the support he’s received since the crash. “I’ll likely be in hospital in Ontario for the remainder of the week at which time I will transfer to B.C.,” he wrote. “My mom and dad are here with me helping keep spirits high.

One more sleep! Get your tickets!” Cook was participating in the Nitro Circus Live North America Tour, billed as an action-packed “extreme” sports spectacular. Organizers of the show told the Hamilton Spectator Cook had practiced the trick “non-stop” for eight weeks prior to the show Friday.

New dog license purchase renewals now available online from RDCO With a few clicks of their computer mouse, most dog owners in the Central Okanagan can either renew or purchase a new dog license online. The Regional District of Central Okanagan is now offering the convenience of buying a dog license online at www.regionaldistrict.com. Dog owners are asked to be patient as the system is receiving such a huge amount of traffic and they may face some delays in connecting and completing their online purchase. “In the past, only those with the Permanent License tag could renew and pay for their next year’s license online,” explained RDCO communications officer Bruce Smith. While they can still do that (their account number and access code are on the renewal notice) and have until Feb. 28 to renew, now dog owners who are purchasing a license for the first time, can go online, set up an account, complete the license application form and pay for it.

“The new license tag will be mailed to them.” Smith adds that even though the regional district advised all dog owners who had the 2013 annual license, which was shaped like a dog house, to come in and swap their tag for free, for a permanent license, several thousand still have the old 2013 annual tag. “They will have to go in person to one of our licensing locations to renew their license for 2014,” Smith said. “At that time they’ll also receive the new permanent tag that will provide them the convenience of renewing online in future years.” As a result of the successful Free Dog License Amnesty program run during October, there are now almost 17,000 licensed dog owners in the Central Okanagan that have received their renewal notices in the mail and have until Feb. 28 to renew their license. Their 2013 license remains valid until they renew. The success of that program saw a 30

per cent increase in the number of licensed dog owners. The annual fee for a dog that has been spayed or neutered is $20 while a dog license for those that have not costs $60. Current license holders have until the end of February to renew their license without any penalty. Starting March 1, a $20 dollar late fee is applied to renewals. “As of January 1st there’s an added incentive for dog owners to ensure their dog is licensed,” said Smith. “The owner of any dog that’s impounded and found without any license will be subject to an additional $300 fine, on top of the regular impound and licensing fees. The fine is up from $100 in order to hold those dog owners accountable for choosing not to license their pet.” Permanent license tags are available at the RDCO (1450 KLO Rd.), at the Regional Dog Pound (860 Weddell Pl.), local government offices and the Kelowna SPCA (3785 Casorso Rd.).

our offspring and our own animals. When one of these great cats is lurking around residential neighbourhoods, conservation officers must make that tough call to protect the neighbourhood. Some may argue that the cat should have been relocated. But along with the fact conservation officers do not have the time or resources to do so, there is also the fact that the animal may continue to be a threat

elsewhere. It’s like the deer that was eating out of coolers in Coldstream this summer. Once introduced to easy access of food, animals aren’t likely to go back to the wild where their dinner isn’t served up on a silver platter. Relocation also poses the problem of putting one cat in another’s territory. The outcome there is generally the same – one less cougar. So as disturbing as it may be

to learn that a cougar, or deer, or bear has been destroyed, it’s a safety-first decision that we should respect. And instead of forcing blame on conservation, look around your own backyard to see if you are actually a contributor to the situation. Wild animals can be easily lured to the area by honest mistakes such as: litter at local parks, garbage cans full of smelly snacks, messy fruit trees and untended composts. —Vernon Morningstar

After 80 years, the Kamloops Daily News is about write its last obituary—its own. The paper will be shut down by its owner, Glacier Media, sometime before the end of February. But while tradition is being lost, so too are the much more tangible jobs of 50 employees. It’s all very sad. According to its publisher, the reason is economic. Tim Shoults said the

paper has struggled in the last several years and while it tried to stave off closure by taking “several difficult steps,” in the end the realities of the industry, the Kamloops advertising market and the paper’s labour situation were all too much to overcome. While the Kamloops paper and the Kelowna Capital News have different owners, there is a type of kinship we in the media have with colleagues elsewhere. And nobody likes to see anyone lose his or her job. Newspapers are not the only ones dealing with cutbacks and closures these days. For the last six years, businesses across the board have been dealing with shrinking revenues that

have, in turn, led to cutbacks, layoffs, other reductions and even closures. The news business hasn’t changed since I started here at the Capital News in 1993 but the business of running a newspaper has. Back then there was a noticeable “thud” when your paper hit the doorstep. Today, if you still get home de- l livery, it’s a much softer landing. o And it’s the same down the road at m this city’s daily. n But despite the dire predictions that newspapers are about to diss appear, I still don’t buy it.

FortisBC will reconcile actual use to estimate To the editor: Some FortisBC customers have asked about how electricity bill estimates made during the recent labour disruption will be adjusted to reflect actual usage now that our employees are back to work. It’s important to note

that your electricity meter reads the total amount of electricity you have used since it was installed—it is not reset after each read. This means that once a verified meter reading is obtained, FortisBC will be able to reconcile your account with the correct amount of consumption.

Your bill will be adjusted if your estimated electricity use is different than your actual use. FortisBC will make sure you receive maximum benefit from the Residential Conservation Rate. This will be done by ensuring the lower cost Tier 1 is fully utilized dur-

ing the past six months. If this results in a difference in your favour, a credit adjustment will be provided in the March billing cycle. If you are concerned about your bill, need help making alternate payment arrangements, or are looking for ways to save energy, you can call our

customer contact centre at 1-866-436-7847. Thank you for your understanding. Nicole Vandenakker, senior manager, Billing Operations, FortisBC

Some pay MSP premiums while others subsidized

To the editor: I’d like to respond to a letter to the editor discussing Medical Services Plan premiums (B.C. Keeps Increasing Seniors’ MSP Premium, Jan. 3 Capital News.) Over the past 12 years, the provincial government has increased spending on health care by nearly 100 per cent. The most recent provincial budget forecasts health ministry spending will increase by more than $2.3 bilrlion over the next three years. MSP premiums are one of the important ways that we pay for these increases and keep our publicly funded system sustainable.

People who are eligible for premium assistance will not be seeing a rate increase. Those who make less than $30,000 a year after deductions for such things as age, family size and disability, are eligible for premium assistance—and will continue to pay lower rates than in 2009. Nearly one million British Columbians receive MSP subsidies; of those, more than 800,000 pay no MSP premiums at all. In fact, 37 per cent of all B.C. seniors received some level of premium assistance in 2012. British Columbians can be proud of their health care system which has helped make

B.C. a leader in many health-related areas. The life expectancy in British Columbia is the highest in Canada at 82 years. We have the overall best cancer survival rates in Canada. B.C. also has the lowest smoking rates in Canada, at 13.2 per cent. Much of this success can be attributed to our health care system and our health promotion programs, all of which are partially paid for by MSP premiums. Terry Lake, Minister of Health, Province of British Columbia

Another year of enviro-wars begins

he new year lurched to life with a round of shouting about the environment, as our post-industrial, post-literate urban society grapples with conflicting claims of impending doom. The release of a group of Greenpeace protesters from a Russian prison was welcomed by TV news networks desperate to fill the holiday dead zone. Our intrepid Canadian pair got to describe over and over their bid to hang a strongly worded banner from a Russian offshore oil platform, and their horror when security forces boarded their vessel from helicopters and seized it. In all the fawning interviews, I kept waiting for two questions to be asked. What did they think Vladimir Putin’s regime would do? And what was the point? How is disrupting one oil platform for an hour going to save the planet?

VICTORIA VIEWS

Tom Fletcher The Greenpeace “activists” claimed this was the first oil platform to operate above the Arctic Circle. So it was a line in the snow, which I’m sure impressed Putin as he ramps up his territorial claim to include the North Pole. Meanwhile at the South Pole, TV anchors remained carefully sombre as they reported numerous bids to rescue a scientific vessel trapped in thick ice. No quips about the predictive abilities of climate scientists please! In fact this ill-fated voyage was a re-enactment of Sir Douglas Mawson’s 1913 expedition, with pro-global warming news outlets

BBC and <I>The Guardian</I> aboard to capture the melting wrought by a century of industrial expansion. The rescue efforts (from a Russian ship by Chinese helicopters) also disrupted an Australian icebreaker’s supply trip for one of the real scientific expeditions working in Antarctica. Skeptics had great fun with the Antarctic debacle, as they did earlier with the resurgence of Arctic ice that trapped climate tourists. As is normal in the Internet age, the climate debate has split into two fanatical factions, each of which promotes the most extreme examples it can find to prop up its version of truth. They call each other “warmists” and “deniers” among other pithy names. Greenpeace is now known in B.C. as part of our Team America anti-tar sands brigade. They got off to a good start in 2014 by selectively seiz-

Community news still in vogue loops, for instance, another newspaper will remain, albeit one that does not come out every day. With the instant dissemination of news on the Internet, 24-hour television news channels and radio stations willing to

break into programming already in progress, today’s news tomorrow in print form has fallen out of favour with some. But, with others it’s still strong. And, obviously, some advertisers still recognize that because they want to advertise where they believe the eyes to see their

toxins that are far more concentrated in urban areas than around remote industry. Consumption, rather than production of coal, diesel and other fuels produces the vast majority of these emissions. I look forward to the study of their effects around Lost Lagoon and Burnaby Lake. Of course safe levels of these materials have been set by Health Canada. You’re more likely to get significant exposure to mercury from a broken fluorescent lamp or the mercury amalgam in your old tooth fillings than you are from feeding ducks at the lake, although you might get a whiff of PAH when you gas up the car or board the bus.

The study by Environment Canada scientists isn’t published yet, but Postmedia News reported on a presentation in November by the researchers. “The federal scientists stress the mercury loadings around the oilsands are low compared to the contamination seen in many parts of North America including southern Ontario and southern Quebec,” the news report states. This is like the study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution in northern Alberta lakes that was twisted into propaganda and fed to the news media last year.

DIVORCE

The new training and practice standards that came into effect on Jan. 1 are long overdue, says the Kelowna Divorce Mediation Services. The new standards were added to British Columbia’s new Family Law Act that came into effect last March, and screening for family violence is now a requirement of all professionals assisting in family matters. “We believe that B.C. is leading the way in recognizing that family violence often accompanies marital breakdown,” said divorce mediator Wes Stevenson. “Our legislators are listening to their constituents who are calling for a fresh approach to addressing marital break down, including the preferred use of mediation. “Family courts and judges are overworked, and research shows that up to 40 per cent of individuals who go through divorce end up below the poverty line.” Stevenson says that his experience gained over the past five years as a divorce mediator shows that mediation saves time, money and stress. “Divorce can be one of the most financially devastating events in two peoples’ lives. Money spent getting mad, or getting even, is wasted money,” Stevenson said. “It shouldn’t cost you and arm and a leg, nor a significant amount of time, to move on independent of each other.” “And remember that adults divorce; children do not,” he added. “By keeping lines of communication open and proceeding as amicably as possible, you help your children transition smoothly to a two-household lifestyle.” The new Family Law Act requires all mediators and lawyers to take a minimum of 14 hours of focused training on how to screen for and identify family violence and power imbalances.

International acclaim for Vibrant Wine A small, family run winery in Kelowna—The Vibrant Vine—has garnered international acclaim at the 2014 World Beverage Competition in Geneva, Switzerland. The winery has received two awards including a platinum Best of Show (white wine) and a bronze medal for packaging. Okanagan Villa Estate Winery and The Vibrant Vine Tasting Room, located in East Kelowna, is home to some of Canada’s most artful wine bottles—signature items that resonate across the winery’s entire brand with its focus on wine, art, music and fun. In collaboration with TricorBraun, The Vibrant Vine’s supplier of glass bottles, the winery participated in the 2013 World Beverage Competition “Packaging of the Year” Awards, and had won a silver medal for its Chardonnay label. The two awards won in Geneva represented the first entry by The Vibrant Vine in the world wines competition. The 2014 World Beverage Competition (www.beveragecompetition. com) boasts more than 10,000 entrants and has been organized by the World Trade Organization since 1991. The Vibrant Vine is the first Canadian winery to win a platinum medal at the competition. Runners up in the white wine category included entries from Argentina and France. “This is an incredible honour,” said The Vibrant Vine proprietors Wyn and Marion Lewis. “To be recognized at the world’s largest beverage competition alongside our peers from top wine-produ-

cers around the world is not only exciting but also inspiring for our entire team at the winery, particularly those who labour intensely through the winter to hand-dip each and every wine bottle in its 3D art shrink-wrap package.” The award news is timely since the winery is in the middle of a significant expansion to double the tasting room capacity. The Vibrant Vine, only in its fourth year, is the highest rated winery in British Columbia on Trip Advisor and attracts a significant number of Canadian and international visitors who come for the unique blend of art, music and wine. “For us, the winery is truly a family affair and reflects not only our intense sense of fun—after all the OOPs? labels were put on upside down— but also our passion for art and music,” said Marion Lewis. “We are incredibly proud of our son Tony who led the winemaking team, and son Phil whose 3D art is on the packaging. “The whole experience of our wines and our art, along with our summer music series and live theatre, has captured the attention of thousands of visitors. “We like to think we really are different—3D glasses and all. “And now we’re growing our wine shop to accommodate a few more fans and to make room for the 2014 vintage of WOOPS?, a name change to signify white wine and a little bit of a ‘woo-who’ to recognize the recent success of the 2013 OOPS? label.”

CONTRIBUTED

THE VIBRANT Vine’s 2012 OOPS? wine, an estate blend of five white

varietals, has won not only a bronze medal for packaging at the 2014 World Wines Competition but also secured the coveted Platinum “Best of Show” medal in the category of white wine.

Entrepreneurial mindset isn’t a 9-to-5 job Y es, the sky parted this week and I realized that I discovered a need to write some thought concerning the topical theme of this column—the entrepreneurial spirit. At times, it is scary to ponder the implied zest of the word “spirit.” But for me, it is frankly the very essence of what entrepreneurship means to me and to those who follow the path of the new venture creation highway. Deep down inside each of us has an entrepreneurial spirit.

Young from A8

They don’t just have a dream; they follow through to make it happen. Successful entrepreneurs have their head in the clouds and their feet on the ground. For example, being an entrepreneur is similar to sitting in a kayak with the waves breaking over your head. The force of the water is greater than the force of you trying to paddle. But, if you make the right moves by focusing your concentration and being diligent and careful, you can get where you want to go. As a seasoned entrepreneur myself, I’ve learned that you have to paddle as fast as the current. If you don’t, the current will push you sideways and take you off course. Then, you are vulnerable to the waves that may flip you over. Ouch! Successful entrepreneurs feel that a life without risk is a life without living. You can never achieve any success of happiness in life without taking risk, but you can greatly minimize the severity of risk by simply and effectively—planning. There must be sufficient planning and conceptualizing in order to move forward. If you don’t know where you are going, you aren’t going to get there. Another critical key ingredient to successful entrepreneurship is doing something you absolutely love. The people who are successful in business and in their personal lives, are doing something they really love to do. There are, unfortunately, many, actually, too many people who launch ventures that they aren’t really interested in or have a genuine love for, hence

Entrepreneur talk show The Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society and Shaw TV Okanagan plan to co-produce a new talk show called Fire Within, which will present the success stories of local entrepreneurs. This new show will be hosted by Capital News business columnist Joel Young, founder of the entrepreneurs society. The broadcast schedule for the new show, to be called Fire Within, will be revealed later this month. they don’t and can’t put their heart and soul into it and eventually, failure is around the corner. Guess what, you must be flexible in your entrepreneurial journey because sometimes you just have to follow your heart and know when to change course and investigate something new or optionally. Change for the sake of change, or to escape something, is rarely a good idea. But, you should consider a change only if you can convince yourself genuinely that it will improve your life and make you happy. So, I truly believe that having the entrepreneurial spirit and keeping it alive and well means still wanting to run this new venture the way you might choose to run your life. And, wanting to run your life the way you run your business venture. To run a successful business venture, you will want to increase the number of customers you have unquestionably. To have a successful personal life, you will want to increase the number of friends you have. You do need a business plan to guide you on your business success path and goals and objectives to guide and measure your personal success. Truly, the parallels are endless between an entrepreneurial and personal life. For every example of the entrepreneurial spirit, there is a parallel in life.

Jeff Connors CONTRIBUTOR

Like many smokers, Dan wants to quit. He has heard that electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, eCigs or vapour cigarettes, might be helpful. But with all the controversy about them in the news and on the Internet, he isnâ€™t sure. Dan is sceptical, he has noticed e-cigarettes are not just sold in pharmacies like other quit smoking aids. They can be found at convenience stores and gas stations often strategically placed near conventional cigarettes. Dan also knows that tobacco companies are making them and he doesnâ€™t trust that they would make a product to help people quit smoking. Dan also wonders how they can help smokers quit when they look and act like regular cigarettes. He has heard that quitting smoking can be as difficult as quitting heroin, but he also knows that when people are trying to quit injecting heroin doctors donâ€™t prescribe a drug delivered through a needle. E-cigarettes are cigarette shaped tubes that simulate the sensation of smoking. Batteries in the tubes heat up a fluid-filled cartridge that gives off a vapour which looks like smoke. Although the jury is still out on e-cigarettes, there are health and safety concerns that Dan should be aware of. Health Canada recently advised Canadians not to purchase electronic cigarettes because they have not been fully evaluated for safety. There are concerns that electronic cigarettes may make smoking socially acceptable again, especially if used in smoke free places. Because e-cigarettes release a vapour and not smoke, there are currently very few rules about where they can and canâ€™t be used. The result is e-cigarettes being used in places where smoking has been banned like classrooms, pubs and shopping malls. E-cigarettes might encourage young people to start smoking. In Canada, e-cigarettes cannot contain nicotine but they can contain kid-friendly flavours ranging from bacon to bubble gumâ€”flavouring that could encourage youth to smoke e-cigarettes as well as real tobacco products. For Dan, he decided to talk with his health care professional and visit quitnow.ca for tips, tools and support. Jeff Conners is a tobacco reduction coordinator with Interior Health.

Q A

Yes, a new roof can be installed rather easily in the winter.

A new roof can be a considerable expense. But, the risk of a leaking roof, leading to possible mold growth, damaged ceilings or worse is a real concern. There are many reasons to roof in the winter rather than waiting. Hereâ€™s a few: 1. The cycle of freezing and thawing in spring can open up cavities in your roof membrane. Avoid this by installing a new roof before that happens. 2. Snow is easily swept off before roofing. Rain is a much greater concern. 3. Melting snow in the spring can find its way into your attic. 4. May and June are our rainiest months. If you have an aging or leaky roof, leaks are more likely during these months. 5. Roofers wear special shoe grips in the winter with metal spikes for steep or slippery slopes. 6. Itâ€™s a slower time for roofing and your cost for a new roof will be likely be less, as a result.

Q A

Most soiled carpets, when wet, will release a musty â€œwet dogâ€? smell caused by bacteria gassing off. For this reason, many carpet cleaners will use an odiferous product when cleaning to mask this unpleasant odor. Some companies advertise that they clean with an organic product that will smell like oranges. In actual fact it is an orange oil or d-limonene. Other companies will use melaleuca or tea tree oil. Both products have a very pungent smell that can be offensive to many people even causing allergic reactions and breathing difficulties. The primary cleaning products used by Oxy-Dry are odorless, green seal certified, hypoallergenic and safe for the environment. Our exclusive aqueous ozone boost system kills all germs, bacteria and viruses and is a natural and odorless deodorizer eliminating most malodors on contact. Only the pleasant smell of fresh air is left to remind you of the most enjoyable carpet cleaning experience youâ€™ve ever had!

Q A

My knee has been stiff and sore in the morning for several months now. It aches when I walk and stand too long. Is this Arthritis?

Morning stiffness in the knee could be a symptom of arthritic degeneration. It can be confirmed with an x-ray requested by your physician. As we get older, the cartilages in our body tends to become thinner and wears down quicker. This can lead to inflammation in the areas where the two bones come into contact with each other, commonly called Osteoarthritis.

Q A

How exactly can diabetes cause me to have foot problems?

Diabetes that is uncontrolled will affect the organ systems in different ways. Peripheral neuropathy is a term commonly used to indicate an uncomfortable burning or tingling sensation in the feet. While this is correct, the term also encompasses other symptoms related to nerve damage. The inability to feel a small pebble in your shoe to ominously not feeling a razor blade left in the bathroom is also caused by peripheral neuropathy. Healthy nerves that regulate perspiration from sweat glands in the feet and send motor signals telling our foot muscles and tendons when to contract and relax are also compromised in peripheral neuropathy. This can lead to dry, cracked skin, and rigid contractures of our toes leading to dangerous pressure points, respectively. Increased blood sugar circulating in the blood stream will deposit into tendons causing them to be more rigid and lead to further contractures and a less supple leg and foot. Arteries carrying blood to your feet can also become diseased limiting blood flow needed to help heal any wound or bring antibiotics needed to treat infection. If you have diabetes, it is a good idea to see your podiatrist to be assessed for the above and also for care of your nails and calluses.

Certified Carpet Cleaning Technician/Oxy-Dry System Developer

I have been working out and watching my diet, and canâ€™t seem to get the weight off, any suggestions?

This is a very common question and a simple solution in most cases. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) stimulates the lymphatic system which connects to every organ in the body to purify and strengthen the body. This system works via the pumping action by movements from WBV which removes excess fluid from the body tissues, absorbs fatty acids, transports fat to the circulation system for elimination, speeds digestion, loosens waste, and metabolizes and flush toxins from the entire body. When the body is stressed aphysically and mentally, it wants to hold onto the fat and fluids thus no weight loss, this is where the lymphatic comes in, to help the body get rid of issues which will hold onto the weight, and you will feel less stress. The other issue is, we rely on what the scale says, but remember when you are toning and tightening you are loosing inches and and gaining muscle, more muscle increases calorie burning. Only judge your results by how your clothes are fitting and how much better you feel. You can burn the same amount of calories in 10 mins. on WBV than you would with regular exercising. To help with weight on the WBV there are simple exercises you can do to create better results, ask any athlete that uses WBV. Jan. is the month everyone wants to get into shape, we have monthly packages available to come and try the machines starting the first week in Jan. If you are a YMCA member, try our machines there, and see how this will work for you. The results will vary depending on your diet, exercise and please consult your Dr. if you have any chronic conditions before using. Please call to set up appointments for packages, free try outs or any questions.

Power of denial: How to confront difficult realities

hen I am deciding not to deal with something difficult, the longer it goes on the

more guilt I feel, until the knowingness of my reluctance gets so uncomfortable I have to make a different choice.

DO YOU HAVE

• CELL PHONES • LAPTOPS • iPODS/MP3 PLAYERS • DIGITAL CAMERAS TO RECYCLE?

I had a phone call from a column reader before Christmas and we had a lengthy conversation on the power of denial in relation to changes that occur in the aging process. Denial often comes into play when feeling strong resistance towards change and facing challenges that seem overwhelming. She described to me how this had played out for her and her children when her husband began showing the symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease and how they all began to

SENIORS’ CONCERNS

Marjorie Horne slowly face the reality of what was happening and the journey that followed. More of her valuable experience will be shared in my Jan. 21 column. Whether it is a spouse, parent, relative, friend or yourself who is beginning to struggle with a limit-

ation due to aging or a health or memory challenge, it can feel overwhelming. Trying to find the “right way” to address these changes can leave one in a state of fear and uncertainty. The truth is, there is no perfect “right way” that covers all scenarios. I think that this may be why so many families and individuals move into denial and take no action, because the method of approach and trial of solutions can often be a very difficult process to go through.

al response and one not to be judged, as this can be a common path for many of us on the road to acceptance. I told a dear friend in a recent conversation that when I feel most resistant to facing something difficult, I repeat frequently to myself, “I am willing to be willing.” Willingness does seem to open the door to facing truth and change, as well as receiving outside support from the most unlikely and unexpected sources. When an acute case of stubbornness arises from internal or external conflict, underlying emotions enter the picture to make coming out of denial particularly challenging. Courage is a necessary part of the process and acknowledging yourself for it can be quietly affirming to one’s ability to persist. Many families delay facing necessary transitions when a loved one’s safety and well being are being compromised due to aging. The hope that somehow nothing disastrous will happen becomes harder and harder to deal with emotionally.

Have your Say

Action is needed. Sometimes help is required to deal with necessary communication and planning. It takes commitment and collaboration to face reality and not to choose denial. When my sisters and I all came together in our readiness to do this, the long overdue need for change for my own mom began. One year later the final result of removing our hesitancy is her living comfortably in my home, relieved of her increasing fear, surrounded by love and a safer environment. That solution was not one I could have ever anticipated, but providence led us there and our unique “right way” was found, one step at a time. So may 2014 be one that begins with successful reflection of your own realities that need addressing. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: “Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.” Marjorie Horne owns CareSmart Seniors Consulting Inc. 250-863-9577

Rockets riding high atop Canadian Hockey League Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

MARISSA BAECKER/SHOOTTHEBREEZE

DEFENCEMAN Riley Stadel (left) and the Kelowna Rockets will visit Ashton Sautner and the Edmonton Oil Kings in WHL action on Wednesday night.

Lorne Frey had a pretty good hunch the Kelowna Rockets would be one of the teams to beat during the 2013-14 Western Hockey League campaign. But even the Rockets’ assistant GM admits the team’s Canadian Hockey League-best record comes as a most pleasant surprise. The No. 1 nationally-ranked Rockets, who went unbeaten in December, are currently the runaway leaders in the WHL with a 33-4-0-2 record. Included among the club’s exploits this season is a winning streak of 16 games, as well as a franchise-record 16-game winning streak on the road. Since Oct. 22, the Rockets have won 26 of 28 games. “We knew we were going to be competitive this year but to look at our record now, that’s a surprise and a pretty impressive performance,”

said Frey, who is also the Rockets’ director of player personnel. “No matter which way you slice it, they’ve faced some tough travel, the quality of teams they’ve beaten, the streaks they’ve been on…it’s pretty inspiring.” As for the main ingredients to the Rockets’ success this season, Frey points to coaching, team chemistry and depth. “We’ve had great coaching from Ryan (Huska) and Danny (Lambert) and the rest of the staff,” added Frey. “We’ve also got really good players, but probably the biggest thing is their closeness, the guys get along great and that shows on the ice. “We have guys with good character who don’t give up and who compete hard. Our overall depth and balance is as good as we’ve had and we’ve got 23 players who are all capable of playing.” Coming off a 4-2 win over Vancouver on Saturday, the Rockets will be put to the test this week in Alberta, as Ryan Huska’s

squad plays four games in five nights starting Wednesday in Edmonton against the Oil Kings. Kelowna will visit Lethbridge Friday, Medicine Hat Saturday and Calgary Sunday. By Sunday night, the club will have played 16 of its last 18 games on the road. Meanwhile, with the WHL’s trade deadline approaching this Friday, the Rockets are busy exploring their options, including the possibility of adding a forward for the stretch run. “In one way you have to think if it isn’t broke don’t fix it, but on the other hand we’re always looking to make our team better,” said Frey, who will sit down to discuss the team’s needs with GM Bruce Hamilton when he returns from the world junior hockey championship in Sweden. “We want to put the best team on the ice we possibly can. A lot of teams are in the battle right now and are looking to make upgrades, so that

makes it tough, too.”

ROCKETS AT WORLD U17 CHALLENGE…

Rockets’ centre Nick Merkley and defenseman Joe Gatenby helped Team Pacific to a silver medal at the World Under-17 Challenge in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Team Pacific made it to the final of the 10-team event before losing 4-0 to Team USA. Merkley had two goals and three assists in six games, while Gatenby registered an assist…Rockets’ assistant coach Dan Lambert coached Team West at the U-17 tournament.

BAILLIE WHL PLAYER OF MONTH…

Rockets centre Tyson Baillie was named last week the WHL player of the month for December. The 18-year-old Fort Saskatchewan, Alta. native had five goals, 15 assists and a +8 rating in 12 games the Rockets went unbeaten during the month.

Late heroics earn tie for Warriors Down 2-0 with just over a minute to play Sunday at Royal LePage Place, it looked almost certain that the West Kelowna Warriors would go down to defeat at the hands of the Nanaimo Clippers. But the Warriors refused to go quietly. David Pope and Jordan Masters scored goals in the final 64 seconds of

the third period as West Kelowna earned a 2-2 with Nanaimo, extending its BCHL unbeaten streak to five games. With goaltender Andy Desautels on the bench for an extra attacker, Pope tallied at 18:56, setting the stage for Masters, who netted the equalizer with just 7.4 seconds remaining in regulation. It was the second time

in six days the Warriors rallied late in the third period, as Pope scored twice 30 seconds apart on Monday to help West Kelowna gent past Trail in overtime. “I thought we outplayed them (Sunday) and took it to them for a majority of the game,” said assistant coach Brent Gough. “Eventually you are

going to score. In Trail it was the same thing…in the last minute we get two goals. If you keep doing what you want to do it’s eventually going to go in and that’s what happened these two games.” On Saturday, the Warriors won their fourth straight with a 7-3 victory over the visiting Trail Smoke Eaters. Seb Lloyd and Tyson Dall-

man scored twice each for West Kelowna. The Warriors (2212-2-2) are 7-1-1 in their last nine games and are third in the Interior Division, just a point back of second-place Vernon. On Friday, the Warriors will host the Coquitlam Express, 7 p.m. at Royal LePage.

Okanagan Rockets are the team to beat at Kelowna tourney Based on their standing atop the B.C. Major Midget League and their recent performance in Calgary, it would seem relatively safe to classify the Okanagan Rockets as the heavy favourites. The Rockets are one of 12 teams that will face off Wednesday for the 2014 edition of the Kelowna International Elite Midget Tournament at Memorial and Rutland Arenas. Currently in top spot in the BCMML (22-3-1), the Rockets are coming off an impressive effort at the Mac’s Midget Tournament in Calgary where they posted a 3-12 record against some tough Canadian and international competition. Okanagan’s two ties came

against two of Western Canada’s top midget programs—the defending Telus Cup champion Red Deer Optimist Chiefs and Saskatchewan’s No. 1 team, the Notre Dame Argos. Okanagan will open up the tournament on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Rutland against the Compete Academy Rams from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Two other local teams, the host Kelowna Fripp tier 1 Rockets and the Pursuit of Excellence Academy, will look to make it to the playoff round in 2014. The Rockets, who were made it to the final in 2010, lead the Okanagan Mainline midget league with

an 11-1-0 record. POE made it to last year’s gold medal game before losing to the Thunder Bay Kings. Kelowna will play Ridge Meadows at 7:15 Wednesday at Memorial, while POE battles Burnaby in the opener for both clubs at 6:30 at Rutland East. The semifinals (Saturday, Jan. 11 at Rutland Arena) and the championship final on Sunday, Jan. 12 at 12:30 p.m. at Prospera Place will be broadcast live on RyanWatters.ca.

Warriors offer reduction on season-ticket prices For a limited time, the West Kelowna Warriors are offering a sale on season tickets for the 201415 BCHL season. Adult season tickets, regularly $350, are presale priced at $199. Students and seniors tickets will drop from $300 to $179, while children’s season tickets, normally $99, are reduced to less than half price at just $49. “We want to fill our building next season. And we’re going to put our money where our mouth is to do it,” said Mark

Cheyne, owner of the Warriors. In addition to dramatic season ticket reductions, the Warriors also announced what the team is calling a Performance Guarantee with every season ticket sold next season. If the Warriors fail to make the 2015 BCHL playoffs, 2014-15 season ticket holders will each receive a $50 credit towards a 2015-16 season ticket. “We want to make our games as accessible to local families as we can,” said Cheyne. “While we

can’t offer these prices ongoing, offering a limited batch at these reductions makes coming out to games possible for some families and people on fixed incomes, who maybe otherwise couldn’t W afford to.” Fans interested inS pre-ordering 2014-15 season ticket packages at the s reduced prices can contact h the Warriors office at 250c 769-7051 or complete a pre-order form at the next m Warriors home game. a s o w

Chiefs fall to Grand Forks Border Bruins The Kelowna Chiefs came up short in their first game of 2014, falling 6-4 to the Grand Forks Border Bruins Saturday in KIJHL action at Rutland Arena. The Bruins, who were outshot by the Chiefs 4736, scored the go-ahead, game-winning with two minutes left in the third period, then added an

empty netter to halt Kelowna’s three-game win streak. Cole De Jonge, Nicholas Kovacik, Jordan Salahor and Nick Headrick scored for the Chiefs, who took a 2-0 first period lead but then yielded three to Grand Forks in each of the second and third periods.

Kelowna (23-10-0-3) leads the Okanagan Division by four points over the Osoyoos Coyotes. The Chiefs will hit the road this weekend, visiting Beaver Valley on Friday, then the Castlegar Rebels on Saturday. Kelowna’s next home action is Friday, Jan. 17 against the Chase Heat.

SPORTS Scott and Co. is playing in its first major event since the Olympic pretrials in early November in Kitchener. After sailing through the round robin and earning a bye to the playoffs, the Scott rink lost its last two games top miss out on a berth at the final Olympic trials in Winnipeg. Still, as much as the Kelowna team would have loved to represent its country in Sochi, Scott said her rink benefited

from the experience and has no regrets. “We knew going into the season that having to go through the pre-trials, it would be a longshot,” she said. “We had a good week, but weren’t good enough when we needed to be. It’s a credit to our opponents, teams are just that much better when the Olympics is the carrot. We have nothing to hang our heads about,” Scott said. “We’re refreshed now

and ready to take a run at the Scotties,” she added. “We just want to play to our potential and see if we can get back there again.” The B.C. women’s curling championship will run until this Sunday, Jan. 12 in Prince George. The 2014 champ will represent the province at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts national women’s finals Feb. 1 to 9 at Maurice Richard Arena in Montreal.

CURLING

Scott pursues fifth straight B.C. title

e o t Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

n It is already the most e successful team in the t history of B.C. women’s curling. a So exactly what t motivates Kelly Scott and her Kelowna foursome each time they step on the ice at the provincial women’s championship ? The lure of yet another trip to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts national women’s championship is more than enough incentive for Scott, third Jeanna Schraeder, second Sasha Carter and lead Sa-

sha Carter to be at their best. Once again, the Scott rink is, not surprisingly, the favourite as this week’s B.C. women’s championship in Prince George. “I don’t think motivation is ever a concern for us because we all have a competitive nature and we want to succeed at what we do,” said Scott, a twotime national women’s champion. “Any time we go out there with a title on the line, there’s that little extra fire. The reason we play is to get the Scotties, the ultimate event in

Canada each year. This year it’s in Montreal, so we definitely want to be part of that. We’ve put so much work into the season, we want to finish it off right.” Scott already has six B.C. women’s crowns to her credit, including the last four in a row—both are provincial records which may never been broken. This week, the diminutive skip hopes to add to her rink’s legacy at the 10-team provincial championship which began on Monday in Prince George.

Among the contenders are a pair of former B.C. champions, Marla Mallet of Cloverdale and Allison McInnes, based this year out of Abbotsford. With nine round robin games on the schedule, followed by as many as four playoffs games in the extended Page playoff system, it will be a very long and challenging week for the two teams that reach the final. “It’s going to be a test,” said Scott. “It’s a fair format, but a very long format. It’s going to challenge everyone, both mentally and physically.”

Molson’s Super Curling League

) -

e Week 11 results: - • Harvey & Associates -(Ken Harvey) vs Molson rBrewery (Tyler Jaeger) - Team Harvey gave up na single in the first end tbut then came back with a deuce in the second and steals of two in both the third and fourth ends to take a commanding 6-1 lead. The teams then traded deuces, then decided to shake hands after six with Team Harvey (3-8) winning 8-3. • Sunset Ranch (Jeff Richard) vs Springfield Autobody (Skip – Justin Nillson) Sunset Ranch has been tough and this night was no different. After being held to a single in the

first end, Team Richard held Springfield Autobody to a single in the second and posted a deuce of their own in the third to take a 3-1 lead. Team Nillson (6-5) couldn’t get anything going in the fourth end and had to make a tough draw for a single which they made. Sunset Ranch (9-2) then put the game away with a big three-ender in the fifth for a 7-2 win. • Son Creek Transport (Wes McInnes) vs Radian Mechanical (Ryan Gatti) Radian Mechanical started this game strong with threes in the first and third for a 6-2 lead. Unfazed, Team McInnes came back with a single in the fourth end and

singles steals in the fifth and sixth ends to be only down 6-5 after six. With the score 7-5 it looked like Son Creek Transport (38) would make the comeback and tie the game up in the eighth end but the last shot rolled out to give Radian (6-5) a 7-6 win. • Stolairus Aviation (Neil Cursons) vs MNP (Gary Brucker): Stolairus Aviation was without their regular skip Dave Mellof but third, Neil Cursons, moved up to skip and played a great game with key draws and hits in several ends to help Stolairus (9-2) post the 8-3 victory. Brucker and team played very well and were only down 4-3 after six ends when they tried

to guard their shot rock in the four foot but left it slightly exposed for Neil Cursons to make the hit for four and the win. • Ashley Furniture (Garry Gelowitz) vs Paramount Music (Gary Lipsett): Ashley Furniture was all business this night against Paramount Music (4-7) and after posting three in the first and a steal of two in the second end it didn’t take much longer for the game to get out of hand as Team Gelowitz (10-1) posted their tenth victory of the season to maintain top spot in the Molson Super League standings.

Noodles is quite a shy girl and would absolutely love a calm quiet environment to spend her life in. She is new at the shelter, and we know with the right person she will become more outgoing. She gets along with the other cats which is a bonus for a home that already has a resident feline. If you have the right atmosphere for this lovely girl to grow come down and spend some time getting to know her.

ADULT ROTTI/SHAR-PEI X NEUTERED MALE

Chewy is a confident, mature boy, & warms up quickly to show off his playfulness & fun loving personality. Once he learns to trust, he will bond very quickly and become a loyal companion. He knows his basic commands and would make a great addition to your home. If you have it in your heart and home to give Chewy a second leash on life, then ask the staff for a one-on-one meeting.
