H1N1 claims Making a huge difference for local family the life of local woman BRENDAN
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The H1N1 flu that killed one Okanagan woman and is continuing to send others to area hospitals isn’t expected to peak for two weeks, says an Interior Health official who is urging area residents to take precautions as the virus continues its spread. “Influenza is circulating widely and the situation will still get worse,” said senior medical officer Dr. Rob Parker. “The risk of exposure will increase in upcoming days or weeks.” At last count, there were 35 confirmed cases of H1N1 in the Interior, while the number in other regions in B.C. rose at a similar pace. A number of those infected were recently admitted to intensive care units in hospitals across the province. It’s not a cause for panic, but what’s different about this flu outbreak, Parker explained, is its impact on otherwise healthy, young people. “This year the H1N1 strain seems to be hitting preschoolers and working age adults with more serious presentations,” he said. Strains of the virus have been circulating for decades, Parker explained, leaving the elderly with a unique advantage over young people. That said, those with compromised immune systems are also at higher risk for serious complications. Vaccines are key to keeping the virus at bay, said Parker. And, despite reports that there’s been a run on vaccines at area pharmacies, Parker said he’s been informed that local health units still have a fairly healthy supply. “Call up the health unit and find out what they have,” he said, noting around 95 per cent of the area’s 140,000 unit supply has been used up. Parker wasn’t able to add any details to the circumstances faced by the woman who reportedly died of the flu earlier this month. He cited Interior Health’s policy to respect the family’s privacy as the reason for relative silence on the matter. The virus has claimed the lives of six people in Saskatchewan and 10 people in Alberta.
Kristine and Don Ritchie first realized their son had a serious health issue in November 2012. Brendan—four years old at the time—was walking to school with his parents when he suddenly collapsed and had a seizure. “I had no idea what was going on,” said Kristine. She and Don drove their son to Kelowna General Hospital’s emergency department, where several tests were done on Brendan. On Dec. 12, 2012, Kristine and Don learned their son had primary pulmonary hypertension. “The arteries between his heart and his lungs are constricted. It causes enlargement of the heart as well, because his heart is working pretty hard to pump the blood through the arteries,” said Kristine. Brendan’s condition is terminal; Kristine said she and Don don’t know what to expect, long-term. Additionally, Brendan has to make sure he doesn’t overexert himself at any point. “He can’t run and play tag with other kids… he can’t do competitive sports, because of the oxygen requirements.” Kristine and Don take their son to Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton every three months for

check-ups. When asked how Brendan’s condition has affected her and Don, Kristine paused for several seconds. “That’s hard to say. “It’s not easy.” Variety the Children’s Charity has helped make one part of the Ritchies’ journey easier. One type of medication Brendan has to take is Viagra: A drug not initially covered by Kristine’s insurance plan. “It is unusual, but when Viagra was first developed, it was in trials for pulmonary hypertension. During trails, it was found

was going to be our method of treatment, they said because my employer doesn’t cover erectile dysfunction drugs, they would not cover it.” At that point, a hospital social worker in Vancouver put Kristine and Don in touch with Variety. When the Ritchies returned home, they found money was put in an account at Dyck’s Pharmacy, covering the total cost for the medication. Variety’s B.C. chapter has raised more than $170 million since it was established in 1965. That money has gone to children who have spe-

Money raised through the telethon will go toward assisting families throughout B.C., who have children with unique medical challenges. The Ritchies will be one of the families featured on the telethon. Kristine said they are looking forward to being part of an “amazing” charity’s fundraiser. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Finance issues continue to plague the Sopa Square development Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Work has stopped once again on a large, high-profile development in South Pandosy. This time it’s because the project has gone into receivership. Sopa Square, the planned mixed-use development once touted as a potential anchor for the South Pandosy commercial area, was originally slated to include an 11-storey tower, a four-storey townhouse portion and a mixture of commercial, retail and residential units. The original cost was estimated at $70 million. But after the original local developer ran out of money and the project stalled, and then a second developer—this one from Alberta—took over but did not have the money to complete the work, the courts were petitioned by the project’s second mortgage holder to put it into receivership. With the approval of all the partners, late last month the pro-
fessional services firm of Ernst and Young was appointed interim receiver. According to Kevin Brennan, senior vice-president of Ernst and Young in Vancouver, the second mortgage holder, the Leslie and Irene Dube Foundation, a private foundation based in Saskatoon, was “basically being asked to put more money into the project.” But it balked as it was already owned $19.4 million. Brennan said his firm has just started looking at the project this week. “It’s way too early to contemplate who any new tenants would be,” he said Wednesday. Right now, the company is assessing the project, he said, looking at when it could be completed and how much it will cost and if a buyer or any other sources of funding can be found. Last year, a decision was made to hold off on the residential component until after the commercial and retail parts were complete. Brennan said the de-
veloper did bring the commercial and retail portion to “substantial completion.” Currently, there is just one commercial tenant in the building, Silent Noise Jewelry. Silent Noise owner Gadi Nussen declined an interview request but did tell a local website he had spoken to a representative of Ernst and Young and was told a buyer needs to be found for Sopa Square within 30 days. He also said that workers on the site had been told to stop work. Nussen said when he moved his business into the building last month, there weren’t any issues. He received an occupancy permit right away. Brennan said it’s his company’s aim not to disrupt Nussen’s business. In November, the Capital News reported an estimated 10 per cent of the businesses lined up to occupy space in the building had pulled out because of the long delays in completing the building. The Sopa Square pro-
ject has been beset with problems from the start. First there was a lengthy delay in starting work on the project, then safety concerns about one of the cranes on the site shut down construction work for a lengthy period. The original developer ran out of money and after sitting idle for a while, the project was revived when a second developer took over. Sopa Square was first approved for construction by the city in 2008. It was to have 48 townhouse units and 51 condominiums, as well as $40,000-square-feet of commercial and retail space on the ground level and 14,000-square-feet of office space on the second floor. In September, Epic Real Estate Solutions won a contract to manage Sopa Square’s sales and marketing program for the future residential units. Company president Mark West said at the time his company was getting plenty of interest in the development.

Closure penalty for Liquid Zoo owner upheld by appeal court Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A penalty levied against a Kelowna bar owner after one of his customers was seen wearing a gang insignia, was reinstated by the B.C. court of Appeal. The B.C. Liquor Control branch adjudicator issued a three day suspension to Liquid Zoo owner David Habib in 2012 after police saw a man wearing a Kingpin Crew hat inside the strip club. But early 2013, the matter was brought before a B.C. Su-
preme Court justice who reversed that decision, saying the penalty was unreasonable, and should have been less than the “maximum” suspension for a first offence. That’s when the matter was kicked up to the B.C. Court of Appeal, which in late December sided with the Liquor Control Branch. Appeal Court Justice David Tysoe said the suspension was not too severe, in his decision. “It was not the function of the judge to make his own assessment of the quantum of the penalty,” he wrote.
“It was the role of the adjudicator to assess the seriousness of the breach, and he specifically rejected the submission of the Licence Holder that the breach was trivial or petty. “The adjudicator expressed the view that the breach went to the heart of the Branch’s concern. “He was entitled to deference in this respect, and it was an error by the chambers judge to make his own assessment of the seriousness of the breach.” According to the court documents, on Jan. 12, 2012, four days after the Liquid Zoo
reopened with conditions regarding displaying gang affiliations already in place, two police officers attended the establishment. “One of the officers recognized several patrons to be members of a motorcycle gang,” read the report. “When one of these patrons left the table to walk to the washroom, the officer observed he was wearing a cap with the numbers “113” on the front and “KINGPIN CREW MC” in smaller lettering on the back.” The officer learned later
that the numbers represented the 11th and 3rd letters of the alphabet, being “K” and “C”. The officer was aware that Kingpin Crew MC referred to a motorcycle gang with ties to the Hells Angels. “The police officer told the patron that he was not permitted to wear the hat in the establishment. The patron gave the hat to the officer, who allowed him to stay in the establishment,” the report read. The police gave the hat to the principal of the Licence Holder, who was working sec-
urity at the front entrance of the establishment. He told police the patron was not wearing the hat when he entered the premises. The patron subsequently confirmed the hat was in his pocket when he entered the building, and he put the hat on when he was inside. On March 16, 2012, the Liquor Control Branch issued a notice of enforcement action to the Licence Holder alleging that it had contravened the terms and conditions of the licence.

But it was a really good experience.â€? According to Klassen, the judges were tough and didn’t care about anything other than what was on the contestants’ plates. “I thought it was really liberating to be judged solely on your food. It wasn’t what you said, how you looked or what you did for a living‌it was all in your food.â€?

“When everyone else was using their tips to go out drinking‌I would always keep mine and take myself out for a nice dinner.
“I realized, very quickly, that I would be incredibly broke if I continued to take myself out for those nice dinners.� She decided to try her hand at cooking by recreating some of the dishes she was paying top dollar for. Quickly, Klassen realized how much she enjoyed cooking. She also appreciated how much money she was saving by making the meals at home. Klassen has considered embarking upon a career in the food industry, but said she’s currently happy in the real estate industry, with the income it provides. Several of her Re/Max colleagues will join her at a viewing party Jan. 20, when MasterChef Canada premieres on CTV.

City urges skaters to share their pics
Rockets pick up Slovakian winger
The City of Kelowna wants to see you skating. According to city hall, skating at the outdoor Stuart Park ice rink downtown is an increasingly popular winter pastime for local residents. So, this month, it is urging people to share photos of fun times at the rink on Instagram for a chance to win free skate rentals and hot chocolate for a group of four at the rink. “We noticed quite a few
people sharing photos of the rink on Instagram and thought, why not have a bit of fun with it and reward people for participating,” said Tom Wilson, communications supervisor at the city. “This rink on the waterfront really showcases Kelowna’s four-seasons-playground appeal.” Here’s how to enter the draw: • Follow @CityofKelowna on Instagram. • Post your photo of the Stuart Park Ice Rink to Instagram with
the hashtag #StuartParkMemories. • Everyone is eligible to enter and while the photo must be taken at the rink, participants don’t actually have to be skating. • Participants can post as many photos as they like using the hashtag but will only be entered once in the draw. • Participants’ Instagram setting should be set to public so city officials can see the photo with the hashtag.
Participants who do not have an Instagram account can follow the same steps above but post the photo, with the hashtag, to the City of Kelonwa’s Facebook page or send a tweet to the city’s @CityofKelowna Twitter account. The contest will run until Friday, Jan. 17. A winner of the contest will be drawn on Jan. 20 and the winner will be contacted via their Instagram account.

Embracing green wins gold for local hotel A Kelowna hotel that’s spent nearly 20 years trying to be green is now embracing another colour—gold. The Best Western Plus hotel has earned the highest certification from Green Tourism Canada, the Canadian arm of an organization described as the most reputable and recognized eco-rating label in the world. Greg Salloum, Kelowna Best Western CEO and partner, said he and his team are excited about achieving gold certification with Green Tourism. “There are a lot of environmental tourism labels out there these days, but Green Tourism has a very thorough thirdparty assessment process. Travellers trust it and so
does the tourism industry.” Since 1997, the U.K.based Green Tourism has helped thousands of hotels and attractions become more sustainable and receive recognition for their efforts. The Kelowna hotel joins almost 40 other B.C. members of Green Tourism Canada, but is one of just a handful of B.C. hotels to receive gold. “We’re really proud to be a leader in sustainability,” said Brenda Rayburn, director of sales and marketing at the Best Western. “While we know that we are authentic, it is so important to have that transparency to create confidence with travellers and with our staff.” The Best Western
started going green more than 20 years ago, long before it became a marketing tool to attract eco-conscious guests and has been recognized several times by both the city and outside organizations for its work. The Green Tourism award recognizes both the breadth and depth of its green initiatives. In addition to everyday activities such as recycling, energy and water conservation and water and green housekeeping programs, the hotel also offers a variety of other eco-friendly services for its guests. They can plug in at one of thee electric vehicle charging stations, they can shower and wrap themselves in a warm towel,
heated through geothermal energy and the hotel was one of the first businesses locally to install solar panels on its roof. Following its plans, the hotel has reduced its carbon footprint by almost 300 per cent. “There’s a real sense of excitement and pride in our accomplishments with staff at every level,” said Rayburn. “Our commitment to sustainability has been a significant factor in achieving our goal of being an employer of choice for many on our team.” In addition to the latest certification, the hotel has also been named the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce Sustainability Leader of the Year, the City of Kelowna’s Cham-
Grafitti rampage vandalizes hotel Kelowna Mounties are looking to identify a group of people responsible for a city-wide tagging spree. The RCMP received a report of vandalism at the Delta Grand Hotel located at 1310 Water St., on Dec. 17, 2013, at 10:15 a.m. “The exterior of the building along with the sidewalk and several parking meters, between the hotel and the Dolphins, had been tagged with white spray paint on Dec. 15, 2013 at 1:50 a.m.,” said Const. Kris Clark. “A review of video surveillance showed four men and a woman involved in the graffiti.” The woman’s face was clearly visible and she was observed spraying the sidewalk and meters. Police have exhausted all efforts to identify her and the four men and are asking for the public’s assistance.
The video surveillance can be viewed on the Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers’ YouTube page. Anyone with any information regarding the identity of the woman or any of the four men seen with her is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP, Const. Konsmo at 250-762-

The Kelowna Rockets acquired a 20-year-old impact forward and also parted with a veteran player in two separate Western Hockey League transactions on Wednesday. The Rockets have acquired Slovakian forward Marek Tvrdon from the Vancouver Giants in exchange for a secondround bantam draft pick in 2014. To make room for Tvrdon on the Rockets roster, Kelowna sent 20-year-old Zach Franko to the Kootenay Ice for a sixth-round bantam draft Marek Tvrdon pick in 2014 as well as a third round pick in 2016. “Zach has been here for four years and it was very difficult but we felt we needed to add some size,” said Kelowna Rockets president/GM Bruce Hamilton. “We’d like to thank Zach for his four years of service with our team and wish him the best in the future.” Tvrdon, a fourth round pick of the Detroit Red Wings in 2011, had been playing this season in the ECHL where he had posted nine goals and four assists in 22 games with the Toledo Walleye. “We are getting a player that is bigger and will add some size and skill,” said Hamilton of Tvrdon, who is expected to join the Rockets on its current Alberta road trip. The WHL’s trade deadline is Friday.

Foerster murder trial scheduled Details for Matthew Stephen Foerster’s upcoming murder trial were discussed in a closed courtroom Wednesday. Foerster will stand trial for the murder of Armstrong teen Taylor Van Diest on March 24, in Supreme Court. Jury selection has been scheduled for the week before. The trial is expected to run until April 25. Van Diest was found seriously in-
jured not far from her Armstrong home on Halloween night, 2011. She died from her injuries in Kelowna General Hospital Nov. 1. Foerster was arrested in April 2012 in Ontario and charged with her murder. His trial was to have started this month but Foerster has changed lawyers twice since being arrested, and his current counsel needed time to get up to speed on the case.

The regional waste reduction office is warning the public that during snowy and icy conditions, garbage collection may be delayed. “You may also need to alter the regular placement of your garbage and recycling carts to ensure the collection vehicle can reach them,” said the office in a news release issued Wednesday. The news release said if your garbage or recycling has not been picked up, leave it out for collection and the waste hauler will pick it up as soon as possible. Do not bring your carts back in until they’ve been emptied to ensure your collection isn’t missed. The regional waste reduction office also issued a number of tips concerning putting out waste collection carts in the Central Okanagan: • Do not place carts in a location where a snowplow will hit them. The cart should be no

When considering cart placement, note the automated arm on the collection truck can only reach a maximum of eight feet from the truck, and up to one foot off the ground. • Find or clear an unobstructed site to put your carts out for collection. It is the responsibility of the resident to clear appropriate space at the curb/roadway in front of their property for placement of carts. • Put carts as close
as possible to the street, without obstructing the street, sidewalk or bike lane. Often placing your carts on either side of your driveway allows for greater ease for the collection trucks and for you. • Do not place carts behind or on top of snow banks. • Clear your cart of snow and ice to ensure the lid opens when cart is tipped. • As waste collection carts are equipped with wheels, please use extra caution when wheeling them in snowy and icy conditions.
• Private or easement roads that are not city property are the responsibility of strata’s and residents to maintain. Unmaintained easement roads may result in delayed pickup. If you live on a private or easement road, keep your road clear or have your bins curbside on the public street if the private road is inaccessible. • Have carts out for collection by 7 a.m. • Do not place carts out the night before collection and bring them away from the road as soon as possible after collection.
The B.C. Pharmacy Association (BCPhA) and the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) urge British Columbians to return old
medications to their local pharmacy. “The New Year is a great time to take a look in your medicine cabinet and double-check the expiry dates on your prescriptions,” said Don Cocar, president of the BCPhA and a Kelowna pharmacist. “It’s free for British Columbians to return unused or expired medications to pharmacies.” B.C.’s Medications Return Program covers all prescription drugs; overthe-counter medications including topical antibiotic and antifungal creams; and natural health products that are orally ingested, such as vitamins, minerals, traditional Chinese medicines, herbal
products, probiotics and homeopathic medicines. The best way to return your medications to the pharmacy is to either combine loose pills into a small bag, or black out your personal information on the original containers. See more information at www.healthsteward.ca. “We encourage you to return your expired and unused medications to your local pharmacy,” added Rae Stewart, regional waste reduction facilitator. “Keeping these items out of the hands of our kids or people who might use them inappropriately is just as important as keeping them out of our local landfill, sewers and water supplies.”

Cold winter chill leaves bad Simple, affordable tips to go green footprint on certain plants ▼ 2014 RESOLUTION
Make your family’s New Year’s resolution for 2014 to go green and do your part to make the Earth a safer place. Not only does living eco-friendly help the environment, it also leads to a healthier lifestyle for you and your family; it can help save you money too. Living a greener lifestyle doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, Wee Urban founder Holly MacLean shares 10 simple and affordable ways your family can go green in 2014. 1. Use cloth diapers Cloth diapers are kind to baby’s skin and kind to the environment. Cloth diapers never get thrown away because you wash and reuse them as opposed to disposable diapers that get tossed away after one use. Rock-aBums are super cute cloth diapers that are fully reusable/washable to cut down on waste and save a lot of cash. 2. Take public transportation Parents should try to take public transportation over driving whenever they can. For shorter trips, try walking or riding a bike. This encourages families to get active while saving money on gas and reducing emissions that contribute to global warming. 3. Buy local food Buying local is a
great way to save; food is fresher and tastes better. Plus, you’ll know exactly where your food is coming from. When you buy local you’re supporting sustainability and eco-friendly practices. 4. Recycle Teach your kids to recycle by setting up different coloured recycling bins in the home and show kids which types of items go in each bin and what is not allowed in the bins. Show them the labels on items that indicate the item is recyclable and make a game out of it so kids have fun learning. Recycle plastic grocery bags by taking them back to the grocery store and placing them in the appropriate bin and use recyclable shopping bags for your grocery runs. 5. Buy organic baby clothes Organic kids clothes are chemical-free and safe for kids to wear and usually made of super soft fabrics. Wee Urban sells modern baby and toddler apparel made with organic cotton blends, low-impact dyes and trendsetting fabrics. They recycle their remnants and work with fair trade certified partners overseas. When your kids grow out of their clothing, donate them to second hand stores for another family to use. 6. Make your own cleaning products Making all-natural cleaning products at

home is simple and safer for your family. You can use ingredients you already own like baking soda, lemon and vinegar for all-purpose cleaners that include no harsh chemicals. They will work just as good as the store-bought products and you’re saving much more money by making them yourself. If you opt for store bought cleaning products, Rockin’ Green eco-friendly laundry detergent and cleaning supplies are affordable and work extremely well. 7. Buy reusable water bottles Reusable bottles are inexpensive and can be refilled over and over again to save you money from buying disposable water bottles. Instead of buying bulk packs of plastic water bottles that harm the environment, buy each member of the family their own individual, re-
usable water bottle. 8. Use less paper You can use less paper by reusing paper for kids’ art projects, notes, making lists and more. Use old magazines to make fun collages and use old memos and note paper for kids to draw on. Keep a bin nearby for recyclable paper. Also, opt for dryerase boards for writing down messages and notes to the family so you don’t have to use memo pads. 9. Plant a garden Planting your own garden at home and growing fruits and vegetables can save you a lot of money and provides your family with healthy, nutritious food. You don’t need a big space to grow a garden and it has an immensely positive impact on the environment. You can use eco-friendly methods like composting and collecting water in a rain barrel to water your plants and to maintain your garden. 10. Use less water You can use less water by cutting down on shower time. For every two minutes you cut down in the shower you conserve more than 37 litres of water. It’s easy to cut down on time by installing a waterproof timer in your shower or you can just use a water-saving shower head. Another good idea is to shower during the warmest part of the day to reduce hot water use.
T
he days are now getting longer, which means we are now over the hump and spring is around the corner. Well…perhaps not quite yet, but we are experiencing much milder weather here in the Okanagan than elsewhere in Canada. That blast we had prior to the Christmas season was enough for me and took its toll on some of my plants. First on the list and with no hope of recovery is my dwarf pampas which actually came through last winter. What a show it put on this year as a two-yearold. I will replace it again this spring simply because it adds something to my garden I can get nowhere else. My beautiful standard Olympia rose will not make it this year after coming through several winters prior to this one. Because it is a Hybrid Tea grafted onto a threefoot stem, it is vulnerable and cannot take the -18 C we had earlier on. Another plant I believe bit the dust is my Lithodora which is looking very brown. Too early yet to tell of course and we could still get some ugly weather, but I know I will have lots more damage when I take inventory this spring. Oh well, such are the fortunes of gardening.

Bridge tolls are discriminatory
T
he tolls on the new Port Mann Bridge have now risen to $3 for single-occupancy vehicles, and the move is discriminatory. It is little more than an advanced tax grab. When the new bridge opened and tolls were first levied more than a year ago, South Fraser residents (who are the most frequent bridge users), were told they would initially be set at $1.50 because all the work on the bridge and the expanded Highway 1 was not complete. The work is still not com-
plete, and won’t be for some time, but the higher tolls have kicked in. The tolls are discriminatory because they are aimed primarily at those who have to use the bridge. Most of these people live in Langley, Abbotsford or Surrey, although there are also some from the Lower Mainland’s Tri-Cities area who use it regularly to get to work south of the Fraser. Those who benefit from the new interchanges and widened highway west of the bridge pay
nothing towards all the improvements they enjoy. The province has not looked into tolling drivers based on the distance they travel on the improved highway—something that is routinely done in many jurisdictions around the world. While the toll can be justified because of the high cost of all the improvements—improvements which were decades overdue—it should apply to all who benefit from the new highway and bridge, not just the bridge users.
Langley residents at least have one option—they can use the new 555 bus from the Carvolth exchange to quickly get to the Braid SkyTrain station. Residents from Surrey and Abbotsford have no such options available to them. There is no transit they can use to cross the bridge, even though that was a key promise when the bridge replacement project was announced nine years ago. The provincial government must treat all regions fairly. —Langley Times

Absence of aging veteran from Team Canada roster puzzling
E
veryone across Canada, it seems, has expressed an opinion over the last two days about the player selection for Canada’s men’s hockey team to play in the Sochi Winter Olympics, Feb. 7 to 23. Did they pick a bad team? No, that would be almost impossible to do with the Canadian player pool to pick from. But only in Canada do we argue over the selection of players who might not see more than two or three shifts in a game. For me, there was really only one strange choice, leaving Tampa Bay Lightning forward Martin St. Louis off the team, when he seemed a logical and emotionally satisfying choice
for the 13th, 14th or 15th forward slots. That his own general manager Steve Yzerman headed up the committee selection process yet was unable to include the highest scoring Canadian forward in the NHL for the last four years on the squad is a head scratcher. The TV folks were probably squirming a little as well about the aging veteran St. Louis’ omission from the team, which was likely in favour of choosing Patrick Marleau, of the San Jose Sharks, because it would have been a great human interest story
EDITOR’S NOTE
Barry Gerding
played out over the course of the Olympic tournament. Afterall, the Olympics are all about human interest stories. Why else will we pay attention to Winter Olympic sports in Sochi that most of us will return to ignoring af-
ter Feb. 23? Overall, the forwards are fast and explosive offensively, the defence is solid and the goaltending is suspect. But really, what else is new when it comes to Team Canada entries in hockey tourneys? To win the gold medal, with the
teams so competitive among the top five or six countries, it will take a consistent hot goaltender who can steal a win his team doesn’t deserve in at least one game during the tournament. For Canada, we expect to win, for others it’s a case of “I believe” we can win that can sweep a team through the medal round. Slovakia almost rode that wave to the gold medal game in 2010. Much is made of the larger ice surface, but Canada will have Norway and Austria to warm up on in the first two games before the serious opposition confronts us. So get over that. We can expect the games to be low scoring as teams get deeper into the tournament, the powerplay
and penalty killing will be key factors courtesy of the refereeing, and that coming from behind to win will be difficult. If Team Canada persists in playing a dump and chase system rather than a high tempo puck possession attack, we won’t win the gold. Coach Mike Babcock said Team Canada has the best players heading to Sochi, but the objective for him and his coaching staff will be to mold them into the best team in a very short period of time. He will be anxious to see galvanizing moments to help speed up that team building process, but I think the omission of St. Louis from the roster is one of those moments that has been squandered. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

To the editor: Re: Finance Minister Flaherty’s budget surplus. When consumers cannot spend because they are too heavily indebted, when a trade deficit draws
money out of our economy, and when cash-flush corporations will not invest here because of lack of demand, there is only one source left to kickstart the economy—big-
ger federal government budget deficits. Some commentators and politicians assume we need nasty reforms and belt-tightening, but this solution will only push
the economy into a downward spiral and yield the same results as when applied overseas in Greece. With every ratcheting up of government austerity, expect higher unemploy-
that the main contribution to the economic recession was the greed on top, and not increases in wages, if there were any. The reality is that some of the problems are the growing spread between the rich and the
poor, the growing number of children living in poverty, the growing number of people going to food banks, including seniors, the shrinking of the middle income class and the growing of the low and poverty classes.
So, what needs to be done is to shift some from the top to the bottom. This will help the economy to grow and benefit all, even the tax payers. For CEOs to make wages hundreds of times more than the average

MP speaks up for community value of newspapers
O
n Monday of this week I read with dismay that the 80-year-old Kamloops Daily News will cease publication within the next two months. I was immediately reminded of July in 2012 when many were equally saddened to learn of the final publication of the Merritt News. Community newspapers not only provide jobs, they also provide an important voice for citizens and often act as a forum on issues of importance to a region. Many of the comments and questions that I receive each week are often based directly on media reports, columns and interviews. In fact this week I can cite a recent example of the influence of local newspapers here in Okanagan-Coquihalla. In a weekend newspaper article, one of our local mayors was quoted as stating that he believes “that it’s the federal government’s duty to bring back some of the federal tax dollars into this community for the purpose of infrastructure.” Within hours of the column running I received both calls and emails from concerned taxpayers asking if Federal tax dollar transfers had been reduced or increased and by how much. Fortunately, as a subscriber to the newspaper in question, I was able to find the column in question and

This is actually close to a $3 billion increase over the past fiscal year and is 50 per cent more money than was transferred to provinces back in 2006. In other words, Federal tax dollar transfers have actually increased significantly. In terms of infrastructure projects since 2006, over 43,000 projects have been funded across Canada with many in the communities of Okanagan-Coquihalla. Currently close to $70 billion is budgeted over the next decade towards future infrastructure projects. In contrast the previous government invested $10 billion over the entire 13 years they were in power. Each summer I have travelled the riding on a listening tour; one of the items that has received ongoing support from
many local mayors is the enhancement of the Gas Tax fund for infrastructure. Initially conceived as a way for municipalities to create specified infrastructure projects, the initial feedback from communities is that it was too limited in terms of scope and investment to meet the needs of a specific community. Since taking office in 2006, our Government has doubled the Gas Tax fund and also expanded the criteria to include roads, water infrastructure (a critical need in some communities) and public walking trails and corridors. The Brown Road upgrades in West Kelowna and Summerland traffic roundabouts with related sidewalks that include bus stops and lighting are good examples of these types of infrastructure. I was happy to vote in favour of making this $2 billion a year fund permanent and indexed to inflation so that communities will know that they can count on stable and increased funding based on community needs, rather than endlessly chasing down grants du jour dictated from senior levels of government. The reality is that by all accounts transfers to the provinces and infrastructure spending has been significantly increased across the board. As a former city coun-
cillor I can recall wastewater, water improvement and community centre projects among others that all received significant federal infrastructure dollars that were partnered with provincial and local government funds to ensure successful project completion. The reason why I raise the issue of increased Federal transfers to provinces and significantly expanded infrastructure spending is due to the fact that as taxpayers it is your money and you deserve transparency from all levels of government on the spending of your tax dollars. Had a local newspaper not reported on this particular story from a local perspective many readers would have not been aware that transfers were in fact increasing and the absence of this information could be used
as a means to attempt to raise taxes without a full accounting to local ratepayers. We should also be mindful that most newspapers are supported financially by advertisers in local small businesses. When a small business faces fiscal challenges often it is advertising, and by extension newspapers, that can feel the brunt of these economic realities. In some respects a community newspaper is a barometer on the state of a community and the recent loss in Kamloops will be hard felt throughout the region and in outlying communities such as Merritt and Logan Lake. Let us all support our local media. Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla.

am about to share something I recently learned about impaired driving laws. I feel the need to start with an explanation of why a lawyer who has been in practice for close to 20 years could possibly be so out of touch. I would hate for my legal reputation to be tarnished by my very public admission of ignorance. There is a common misperception that a law school graduate knows “the law.” More accurately, law school teaches us tools about how to understand and interpret the law. There is a 10 week course that we all must pass after law school, and before practicing as a lawyer, part of “articling,” that gives us a kick start to actually learning and applying the law. Even that, though, is an “open book” exercise that is more about learning how to find answers than infusing us with legal knowledge. Certainly, though, a lawyer who’s been practicing law for 15 or 20 years ought to have a solid command of “the law” by then? Not so. In fact, lawyers regularly focus on and develop practices involving a very narrow slice of the law, developing a very narrow area of expertise. As time passes, whatever bits and pieces that we might have picked up about other areas of the law while becoming a lawyer becomes more and more faded and dated. Is that quite enough of a whining and snivelling explanation for why I don’t know everything about the law? Regular readers of my column know that I am a big fan of the automatic roadside penalties for impaired driving that the British Columbia government put in place as
of Sept. 20, 2010. Yes, the administrative (not criminal charge related) penalties run roughshod over the kind of due process that the Paul criminal justice sysHergott tem affords, but in my view the public safety concern outweighs the due process concern in that instance. I have never driven through an Impaired Driving CounterAttack roadblock. I had envisioned a very efficient process of every driver rolling down the window, blowing into a screening device, and being sent on their way unless the device showed an illegal alcohol content. Not so, as I’ve come to learn. According to the B.C. Ministry of Justice website, a breath sample is requested: “If an officer has reasonable suspicion to believe a driver may be under the influence of alcohol…”. I looked up the actual wording, in section 215(2) of the Motor Vehicle Act. I found it quite interesting. In fact, a police officer serves a notice of driving prohibition: “… if the peace officer has reasonable and probable grounds to believe that a driver’s ability to drive a motor vehicle is affected by alcohol.” According to the legislation, it is then up to the driver to request the blood alcohol screening to prove that the blood alcohol level is within acceptable limits, which terminates the prohibition. Really? There has to be some observable sign of alcohol impairment or other evidence leading the police officer to believe that the ability to drive a motor vehicle is affected by alcohol in order for the screening device to even come into play? Yes, those are rhetorical questions dripping with as much sar-
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
casm as my typed words are capable of expressing. Our world is full of highly functional alcoholics who would show absolutely no observable signs of impairment as they might pull up in a stop and go roadblock, but whose ability to drive a motor vehicle is very much impaired. The “reasonable and probable grounds” requirement is intended, I expect, to survive a Charter attack on the legislation. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, section 8, includes the following right: “Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.” Yes, courts might reasonably interpret having to blow into a screening device to be an “unreasonable search” absent observable signs of impairment. If so, this would be one of those rare circumstances where I would want our law makers to invoke section 33(1) of the Charter, the “notwithstanding clause,” which expressly allows Canadian governments to expressly declare a law to operate notwithstanding certain Charter protections. When we hear RCMP statistics that one in 100 people (was it one in 10 in one Okanagan community?) through roadblocks were issued administrative prohibitions, I guess that does not reassure us that the other 99 actually blew into the screening device and were cleared. It just means that the other 99 were able to make it through without showing signs of impairment. I hope that, somehow, I am reading the law wrong. If not, I call out to our law makers to fix this which, in my view, is a glaring problem. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Not too late to register for 2014 art courses
If you rang in the New Year resolved to write a novel, learn to speak another language, or to expand career prospects through professional development, Okanagan College has a range of its academic arts courses, at each of its campuses, to help reach those freshly-minted self-improvement goals. This January, language lovers can choose from courses in French, German and Spanish to enhance a summer holiday or to improve international business opportunities, while budding authors can hone their craft with like-minded colleagues in creative writing, non-fiction writing, journalism studies and professional communications offerings. Additional offerings to satisfy the intellectually curious are available in a range of disciplines, including political science, anthropology, environmental studies and philosophy. Courses available at each campus are listed at: www.okanagan.bc.ca/winter2014. Beyond the benefits of newly acquired knowledge or a broadening of horizons, adult learners expand their social networks. Known for its diverse student body and small class sizes, Okanagan College’s learning environment is a comfortable and welcoming setting for mature learners or those who have been out of school for some time. Forty-seven per cent of the population made personal development one of their goals for 2014, say University of Scranton researchers, with “learning something exciting” ranking sixth on the list of Top 10 New Year’s resolutions. Courses run on weekdays with some evening courses available. Registration is open until Jan. 17. The Winter 2014 academic term runs from January to April 11. The college also offers a host of general interest, professional development and certificate courses through its Continuing Studies department.

As our Canadian population ages, baby boomers have been recognized as the generation that changed the definition of retirement; its parameters now include a more challenging, healthy and productive way of life rather than the former vision of sedentary years, declining into old age. Agita Publishing has published a new book entitled Life, Lessons for Retirement, by local author Clair A. Hamer. This large print edition introduces 25 Canadian women, born in 1945 who have signed up for a writing workshop on “retirement” with a specific goal in mind with tasks outlined by the course moderator. All participants must submit their life story as it pertains to their
newly acquired state, that of a retiree. From varying backgrounds, these
60-some-year-old women offer insights into their life choices, responsibilities, sorrows and successes. Retirement is no longer the dreaded final act, as it has become a time to challenge ourselves, contribute to our society, live with a purpose and perhaps, even fulfill our wildest dreams. Hamer has taught English for a better part of her 37-year career as a secondary school teacher.

Older newlyweds need to organize a financial marriage M arriage can be the biggest financial decision of a lifetime. Finances are a large component, in addition to romance and courtship. Many people now wait until they are established in their careers before they get married. This means getting married later in life. Many people now wait until their 30s or 40s to commit to a relationship.

Typically, those who remarry are older and have accumulated substantial assets from the first time they married. With the divorce rate as high as 50 per cent in Canada, many people remarry. The older the newlyweds, the more financially complicated it may be. With a second marriage, there may be a blended family to consider. There may also be obligations under a previous divorce decree. There are many things to consider before you say “I do” for the first or second time. These questions may not be part of the discussion over a romantic can-
dle light dinner when dating. The reality is, finances are part of our everyday life, in good times and in bad times. Before you get married, you should review all aspects of your financial affairs with one another. Discuss the net worth of each individual and how that net worth is calculated. Is it in home ownership, second property ownership or is it in liquid assets held in investments? Are there pension assets to be divided in retirement? With a second marriage, is the previous spouse the beneficiary of pension assets?
Check life insurance policies for the named beneficiary. Have your beneficiaries changed? Too many newlyweds fail to update the beneficiaries of their life insurance policies. Do you have enough life insurance that your new family is counting on, or is a previous family financially depending on your income? Discuss all current debts. How much is owed on credit cards and all loans? Review past and current financial obligations. This includes student loans, personal loans, child support or alimony payments. Review your will and

an impact that had on the series. That’s the kind of player he is.” As for Benn, Huska was the club’s head coach in 2009 when he played a vital role in leading the Rockets to a Memorial Cup berth that spring in Rimouski. “No slight to other guys who have played with us, but Jamie is the best power forward we’ve ever had in my time here,” said Huska, who joined the team as an assistant in 2002. “Once he figured out how to be a professional, how he had to work to be successful, he was hard to stop.

STAFF REPORTER
Duncan Keith, Shea Weber and Jamie Benn were all among the best players ever to wear a Kelowna Rockets’ uniform. Next month, all three NHL stars will be donning their nation’s red and white jerseys at the Olympic Games in Russia. Keith, Weber and Benn were among 25 players named this week to Team Canada’s roster for the Olympic men’s hockey tournament beginning Feb. 12 in Sochi. Keith, a former Norris Trophy winner as the NHL’s top defenceman with the Chicago Blackhawks, is the league’s top scoring blueliner this season with 42 points. Weber, the captain of the Nashville Predators, remains one of the game’s most dominant rearguards, and this season had 10 goals and 27 points in 40 games. Keith, a product of Penticton, and Weber, from Sicamous, will both be pursuing their second Olympic medals after helping Canada win gold in Vancouver in 2010. “It’s going to be a huge thrill for Shea and Duncan again,” said Rockets’ head coach Ryan Huska, who coached all three players in Kelowna. “Although they were there already, you can bet it’s an honour for them to play for their country a second time and have a chance to defend gold.” Benn, who played his way on to the team after not being invited to the development camp last sumer, has emerged as a force with the Dallas Stars, a team he now captains. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound power forward from Victoria has 37 points in 42 games. “I would imagine Jamie is over the moon about being chosen,” Huska said. “He was one of those guys on the bubble early on but showed everyone what kind of player he is. I think he’ll do a great job at whatever role the (Canadian) coaches have planned for him.” Despite playing just half a season in 2002-03,

Keith had a considerable impact on the Rockets, helping lead the club to a WHL title and berth in the Memorial Cup. When it came to skills and skating ability, Huska said few were in Keith’s class. “It was my first year here and what stood out about Duncan was his ability to make skilled plays,” said Huska. “He used to drive (former coach) Marc (Habscheid) a little crazy with some of the high-risk plays he used to make. But he could do a lot of things other players
couldn’t.” Huska was an assistant for the four seasons Weber played in Kelowna (2002 to 2005) and said the Sicamous native developed into one of the finest all-around defenceman ever to come out of the WHL. “When Shea was 19, you could really see the signs of him becoming what he is now. He was very physical, hard to play against and had that great shot. I remember him knocking Nigel Dawes (Kootenay) out of the (2005) playoffs and what
ried that into the NHL.” In all, six former Rockets will play at the Olympics. Also making the trip to Russia will be defenceman Alex Edler (Sweden), and forwards Lauris Darzins (Latvia) and Thomas Raffl (Austria). “All six guys are great ambassadors for the organization,” Huska added. “It’s nice to see players representing our team at the Olympic level.” The Olympic hockey competition runs from Feb. 12 to Feb. 23 in Sochi. Canada’s first action is Feb. 13 against Norway. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Myles Bell’s recent surge in offensive output has earned the Kelowna Rockets forward player of the week honours in the Canadian Hockey League. The 20-year-old Calgary native scored five goals and added five assists with a +6 rating over four games last week, as the Rockets posted a 3-1 record. Heading into this week’s action, Bell led the Rockets in goals with 23 and was second in points with 47. Head coach Ryan Huska said Bell has pushed his game to another level. “I think we’re seeing him play with more confidence right now,” said Huska. “He’s around the
ward and watched him go on to lead the team in scoring with 38 goals and 93 points. Bell was a sixth-round draft pick of the NHL’s New Jersey Devils in 2013.

Heat women win in Barbados Dropping only two sets during the six-day event, the UBC Okanagan Heat found themselves crowned as the new queens of the 4th Annual VolleyBarbados. In Bridgetown over the New Year, the Heat knocked off three-time defending champs, the University of Montreal Carabins, in the final Friday night at the Wildley Gymnasium in three sets, (25-22, 25-22, 25-15). Kaitlynn Given (second year, outside hitter, Kelowna) was named MVP who UBC Okanagan Heat head coach Steve Manuel describes as “playing the most consistent volleyball over the course of the tournament,” and was a unanimous choice amongst the assembled coaches. “We played a strong defensive tournament,” said Manuel, “a couple
times we found ourselves down early in the set, yet we rallied and made impressive runs. In the first game against Montreal in the 3rd set we were down by eight and faced set point six times before tying the game at 24, only to lose 27-25. And against Montreal in the final we were down by eight (1911) before coming all the way back and winning 2522.” Four matches led to four different players of the match for UBC Okanagan with Katie Wuttunee (third year, middle, N. Vancouver), Katy Klomps (third year, middle Surrey), Emily Oxland (second year, setter, N. Vancouver), and Given each earning honours. Manuel described his team’s overall play as “strong on the block” and that they were able to “serve aggressively all

Actor Peter Berg adds to impressive resumé as a director
A
s an actor, Peter Berg was best known for his role in TV’s Chicago Hope but has had much more success as a director.
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis His directing debut was an episode of Chicago Hope but he quickly moved into movies like Very Bad Things, The Rundown, Friday Night Lights, The Kingdom and Hancock. Although he had a very expensive flop with Battleship, it could be argued that he did a very competent job directing the Hasbro-produced movie that was poorly written and clearly made to try to capitalize on the success of Transformers. Berg has bounced back to direct Lone Survivor, a project he wanted to do before Battleship, but was not able to get financial backing. To get it made, not only did he and star Mark Wahlberg take pay cuts, they contributed their own money to the budget and co-stars Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster, Eric Bana and Kelowna native
Taylor Kitsch took pay cuts as well. Lone Survivor is based upon a true story of Operation Red Wings, a 2005 mission that tasked four Navy SEALs to capture or kill Taliban leader Ahmad Shah. Critical reviews have been mostly positive, drawing comparisons to movies like Black Hawk Down, and it has already been named the Best Action Film and one of the top 10 films of the year by the Las Vegas Film Critics Society. Berg himself has been nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay by the Writers Guild of America, which means he could be in the running for an Academy Award nomination. Alexander Payne is

Malanka 2014 Ukrainian New Year Family Celebration
another writer-director who has made a number of both critically and financially successful movies including Election, About Schmidt, Sideways and The Descendants. He has been nominated for six Academy Awards, winning twice, plus he has received a Golden Globe nomination for directing his latest called Nebraska. Filmed in black and white, this quirky comedy is about an aging, booze-addled father (Bruce Dern) who makes the trip from Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son in order to claim a million-dollar sweepstakes prize. It has already received 101 nominations from the likes of the Cannes Film Festival, American Film Institute, numerous film critics societies and has four other Golden Globe nominations on
top of Best Director, Best Actor—Musical or Comedy (Bruce Dern), Best Supporting Actress (June Squibb), Best Screenplay and Best Picture—Musical or Comedy. Also starring is Saturday Night Live alum Will Forte and former SNL writer Bob Odenkirk (TV’s Breaking Bad). Coincidentally, this is the first screenplay from writer Bob Nelson, who got his start on Almost Live, a comedy sketch show which followed Saturday Night Live on Seattle’s NBC affiliate KING-TV in the ’90s, which also spawned Bill Nye the Science Guy and actor-comedian Joel McHale.

appy New Year. Hope that you all enjoyed a delicious holiday season and that you had some fun experimenting with new tastes and recipes. As a cooking magazine junkie, I am always pulling out new recipes to try. It is interesting how, like fashion, there are serious trends in eating. Currently, the good news is that the healthy
foods are still trending with kale and quinoa going strong and Brussels sprouts shooting to mega stardom. The retro cheese ball has made a comeback headlining many holiday tables this season (including mine) and believe it or not, the Boilermaker has returned to many of the hippest bars. Flashback

Jennifer Schell back on the veggie scene. My euro foodie magazines are loaded with delicious ways to glam up this member of the Brassica family. Incredibly versatile, no longer is a gooey cheese sauce the only choice for serving it. Try it mashed, grilled, broiled, barbecued, stirfried, roasted, pureed into soup and, of course, it is also great raw. India and Italy are two food cultures that have consistently embraced their cauliflower. Vegetarian cauliflower and potato curry, or Aloo Gobi is a popular vegetarian Indian curry dish. And in Italy, cauliflower fritters or fritelle di cavolfiore are found on many menus as antipasti—yum. Locally, our farmers markets offer beautiful colourful variations of cauliflower—orange, purple or green with

These are not GMO, they are a result of traditional selective breeding practice— which is safe and perhaps even offer bonus health benefits. Recent reports say: “The orange cauliflower has higher than normal levels of beta carotene, a form of vitamin A that encourages healthy skin. The purple colour comes from anthocyanin, which may help prevent heart disease by slowing blood clotting. Tests of the orange cauliflowers in America found that they contained 25 times the concentrations of beta carotene in normal
cauliflowers.” To be sure of this information, ask your farmer. Next Farmers Market in Kelowna at the Parkinson Recreation Centre is Saturday Jan. 11. I can’t wait. In the meantime, try this delicious fritter recipe care of my friend Teresa Kuhn of The Olive Oil Merchant. If you have not been to their website to check out the amazing variety of the BEST olive oils (and other Italian specialties) you simply must. I always have a three-litre jug on my counter: www. oliveoilmerchant.com.
FRITELLE DI CAVOLFIORE
Start by cleaning the
cauliflower: remove the external leaves and cut the florets from the stem. Steam the florets with salted water for a few minutes making sure they are still firm and not overly cooked. Let them cool while you prepare the batter. Separate two eggs, beating the egg whites until stiff and whisking the yolks with a pinch of salt. Add 30 grams of grated Parmesan cheese, 200ml of milk and 150 grams of flour to the yolks, alternating a bit of each at a time. When the batter is creamy add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Delicately fold in the egg whites so they don’t deflate. Heat enough oil in a pan to submerge the florets completely. Dip each floret in the batter then fry in the hot oil (between 160 and 180 C) using a fork to help keep them down. Drain the cauliflower letting them dry on absorbent paper and serve warm.

Volunteer: What type of change-maker are you? Dawn Wilkinson COLUMNIST
H
ow are your New Year’s resolutions holding up? If you have been thinking about volunteering more, consider your potential to make a difference. The 2013 Social Change Impact Report prepared by Walden University identified six types of people who create change. On average, 92 per cent of more than 9,000 adults surveyed in eight countries, including Canada and the United States, have done some-
thing to engage in positive social changes during their lifetime. The annual trends since 2011 show that social change remains important to adults; it is widespread and it is growing as a movement. Education is significant in offering opportunities for involvement. Take the quiz to find out which type of change-maker you are. Go to www.waldenu.edu/ impactreport. Share your
results on Twitter @CharityVillage, https://twitter. com/charityvillage. Ultra-committed Change-makers are dedicated leaders who use technology, engage monthly, have a lifelong commitment and are involved because their parents or someone else made a difference in their lives. Faith-Inspired Givers feel blessed and want to share, had parents who were positive role-models, attend religious services regularly and promote change as an outflow of their beliefs.
Socially Conscious Consumers look for companies that act responsibly toward people and the environment. Social justice and green issues are very important. Purposeful Participants focus on social change in terms of what will help them succeed at school or work such as getting into university, completing course requirements, enhancing their resume or applying for a job. Casual Contributors get involved in short term local issues. This group tends to be older adults
without children. Social Change Spectators might have been involved but generally do not see their actions as creating change. In every country, there are also those who have never attempted to promote change. Where do you fit in?

Film director to present public talks Award-winning director, director of photography and teacher Helen Haig-Brown (Tsilhoqot’in) brings her art to campus as a Visiting Scholar at UBC Okanagan this month. Haig-Brown will spend a week on the Kelowna campus, from Jan. 13 to 18, working with students and researchers in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies who are associated with the research theme of “Postcolonial Imaginaries.” She will engage with the university community around the critique of colonial, neocolonial and imperial power relations, from historical, contemporary and comparative perspectives. Haig-Brown’s latest work, a continuing documentary project called the Legacy Series, focuses on the transformation and healing of intergenerational trauma to trust, worth, intimacy and love from colonial impacts such as residential school, smallpox and the Tsilhqot’in War. Legacyinteractive.ca will launch this month and the TV component, My Legacy, will air on Aboriginal People Television Network in February 2014. Legacy’s feature film will be released in 2015. Haig-Brown is a graduate of Capilano University’s Indigenous Independent Digital Film Program and lives between her traditional territory in British Columbia’s Cariboo

This is the second year that FCCS has invited renowned scholars and artists to the campus to work with faculty and students as well as to give a public lecture. The artists and scholars are selected for their ability to contribute to faculty and students working in key research areas. “By bringing outstanding visiting scholars and artists like Helen Haig-Brown to the campus, we give our students the chance to be introduced to exciting work being done in the field and give our faculty members the chance to collaborate on national and international projects,” said David Jefferess, associate professor of Cultural Studies and English.

Martin will read from her works on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 7 p.m., at the Okanagan Regional Library, 1378 Ellis St., in downtown Kelowna. Martin is the author of four collections of poetry: Looms (2012), Sonnets (2010), Codes of Public Sleep (2007) and Sesame Kiosk (2001).

Variety makes huge difference for local family Wade Paterson Kristine and Don Ritchie first realized their son had a serious health issue in November 2012. Brendan—four years old at the time—was walking to school with his parents when he suddenly collapsed and had a seizure. “I had no idea what was going on,” said Kristine. She and Don drove their son to Kelowna General Hospital’s emergency department, where several tests were done on Brendan. On Dec. 12, 2012, Kristine and Don learned their son had primary pulmonary hypertension. “The arteries between his heart and his lungs are constricted. It causes enlargement of the heart as well, because his heart is working pretty hard to pump the blood through the
arteries,” said Kristine. Brendan’s condition is terminal; Kristine said she and Don don’t know what to expect, long-term. Additionally, Brendan has to make sure he doesn’t overexert himself at any point. “He can’t run and play tag with other kids…he can’t do competitive sports, because of the oxygen requirements.” Kristine and Don take their son to Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton every three months for check-ups. When asked how Brendan’s condition has affected her and Don, Kristine paused for several seconds. “That’s hard to say. “It’s not easy.” Variety the Children’s Charity has helped make one part of the Ritchies’ journey easier.

During trails, it was found to have this wonderful side effect. “So when I told my insurance company this was going to be our method of treatment, they said because my employer doesn’t cover erectile dysfunction drugs, they would not cover it.” At that point, a hospital
social worker in Vancouver put Kristine and Don in touch with Variety. When the Ritchies returned home, they found money was put in an account at Dyck’s Pharmacy, covering the total cost for the medication. Variety’s B.C. chapter has raised more than $170 million since it was established in 1965. That money has gone to children who have special needs, and their families, throughout the province.
The 48th annual Variety Show of Hearts Telethon takes place Jan. 25 and 26 on Global TV. Money raised through the telethon will go toward assisting families throughout B.C., who have children with unique medical challenges. The Ritchies will be one of the families featured on the telethon. Kristine said they are looking forward to being part of an “amazing” charity’s fundraiser. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com
▼ HEALTH RISK
H1N1 serious as one local succumbs The H1N1 flu that killed one Okanagan woman and is continuing to send others to area hospitals isn’t expected to peak for two weeks, says an Interior Health official who is urging area residents to take precautions as the virus continues its spread. “Influenza is circulating widely and the situation will still get worse,” said senior medical officer Dr. Rob Parker. “The risk of exposure

will increase in upcoming days or weeks.” At last count, there were 35 confirmed cases of H1N1 in the Interior, while the number in other regions in B.C. rose at a similar pace. A number of those infected were recently admitted to intensive care units in hospitals across the province. It’s not a cause for panic, but what’s different about this flu outbreak, Parker explained, is its im-
pact on otherwise healthy, young people. “This year the H1N1 strain seems to be hitting preschoolers and working age adults with more serious presentations,” he said. Strains of the virus have been circulating for decades, Parker explained, leaving the elderly with a unique advantage over young people. That said, those with compromised immune systems are also at higher risk for serious com-

plications. Vaccines are key to keeping the virus at bay, said Parker. And, despite reports that there’s been a run on vaccines at area pharmacies, Parker says he’s been informed that local health units still have a fairly healthy supply. “Call up the health unit and find out what they have,” he said, noting around 95 per cent of the area’s 140,000 unit supply

He cited Interior Health’s policy to respect the family’s privacy as the reason for relative silence on the matter. The virus has claimed the lives of six people in Saskatchewan and 10 people in Alberta.

experience.” According to Klassen, the judges were tough and didn’t care about anything other than what was on the contestants’ plates. “I thought it was really liberating to be judged solely on your food. It wasn’t what you said, how you looked or what you did for a living…it was all in your food.” She added she didn’t expect to make any friends when she attended the MasterChef Canada taping; however, Klassen is still in contact with several of her competitors. Klassen’s passion for cooking didn’t emerge until she began working in the restaurant industry in Vancouver as a young adult. “When everyone else was using their tips to go out drinking…I would always keep mine and take myself out for a nice dinner. “I realized, very quick-

ly, that I would be incredibly broke if I continued to take myself out for those nice dinners.” She decided to try her hand at cooking by recreating some of the dishes she was paying top dollar for. Quickly, Klassen realized how much she enjoyed cooking. She also appreciated how much money she was saving by making the meals at home. Klassen has considered embarking upon a career in the food industry, but said she’s currently happy in the real estate industry, with the income it provides. Several of her Re/Max colleagues will join her at a viewing party Jan. 20, when MasterChef Canada premieres on CTV. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Heading into this week’s action, Bell led the Rockets in goals with 23 and was second in points with 47.

1. My goal is to consume less than 2000mg of sodium per day. I can easily do this by avoiding processed foods like canned soup (may contain up to 1000mg of sodium per can) or frozen pizza. I do this because this will help keep by blood pressure at a healthy level. 2. I resolve to eat much more vegetables and fruits. I will increase my healthy grain portions. I will choose fish or poultry over red meat. I will do this because it is proven that this is good for my heart. 3. I will move, move and move! At least 30minutes a day every day. I can walk, run, hike, shovel snow, clean the house 3 times a day.... I will do this because this is good for me 4. I will motivate myself daily so I can accomplish all my resolutions!
Q A
How can I re-style my home without breaking the bank?
If you are looking to quickly update your home to better suit your style or to get it ready to sell, there are a lot of little tricks that don’t require a big budget. Paint can do wonders for a home! It is the most affordable, least time consuming (if you know what your doing) and is the best way to add some personality, while refreshing the space. Accent walls are a great way to get your color fix, and they allow you to quickly change your color scheme when you feel like you need to update. To add more architectural detail, paint your interior and exterior doors a contrasting color. I am not saying you have to get crazy with color, even a shade or two darker than your trim or walls will do it. Adding a backsplash in your kitchen or replacing the old one can also give that “upgraded� look. Pattern automatically draws attention and creates interest in a space and since there is not that much square footage for a backsplash, you can get the perfect tile without spending too much extra.

What is a Spousal RRSP?
A Spousal RRSP is very similar to a regular RRSP except that the account is opened in your spouse’s name. Any amount that you are eligible to contribute to your own RRSP can be invested in the Spousal RRSP. The assets become the property of your spouse, but you’ll still receive the full deduction from your taxable income. Spousal RRSPs are easy to open, and are available to both married and common-law spouses (including same-sex couples). Spousal RRSPs don’t affect the contribution limits for your spouse. Even if you’ve directed your entire RRSP contribution to a Spousal plan, your spouse can still contribute to his or her own personal RRSP.

Q
I’ve had migraines and neck aches for years. I’ve tried everything including drugs, physiotherapy, etc‌ but nothing seems to help. Is there anything else?
A
Yes if a medical issue has been ruled out as a cause of migraines, head or neck aches, often they can be a result of a misaligned jaw. In our modern day environment with pollutants and allergens, our jaws have commonly become too small to fit our teeth and tongue due to airway restrictions which cause developmental changes in the growth of the jaws. As such, the jaw and neck joints and muscles of the head and neck have to accommodate to an abnormal position causing migraines and muscle tension. Blood vessels and nerves are also impinged upon resulting in further pain. These symptoms are often associated with others in what is commonly known as TMJ or TMDtemporomandibular disorder. If the jaw can be put back into a relaxed physiologic position, the tension in the head and neck regions can be relieved. Postural issues and related symptoms also are affected by aligning the jaw/neck complex. This type of treatment can be done by a dentist trained in neuromuscular treatment. For more info contact‌
