Drug dealer made big mistake

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

It will be Thursday before Kelowna learns the story of how and why Neil Elliott Collins escaped custody in December, shutting down the bridge and sending police on a citywide manhunt. Collins was in court Monday to be sentenced for three of 20 counts against him after RCMP nabbed him as the kingpin in a drug operation based on the Westside. “He knows he screwed up in a big way,” admitted his lawyer, Cory Armour, as he summed up the case that earned his client 1,201 days—3 1/4 years in prison. Police initially arrested Collins in May, boxing him in his car to ensure he could not run, after one of his alleged drug runners, Adrienne Barregar, was apprehended in front of Kelly O’Bryan’s Restaurant. She had been seen picking up an array of drugs and drug paraphernalia from the condominium Collins shared with another of his alleged drug runners at 2210 Sundance Drive in the Shannon Lake neighbourhood. Owing to her public arrest, Collins was alerted to the fact the Mounties See Dealer A8

Queensway site eyed to locate visitor centre Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna city hall’s plan for a new tourist information centre, on a downtown waterfront parking lot at the foot of Queensway, has won the unanimous support of council. “It’s all about location, lo-

cation, location,” said Coun. Maxine DeHart. “This is not a good location, it’s the perfect location.” The new site, chosen after council heard loud and clear from the public that it did not want to see a larger building built in part of nearby City Park, is expected to house a low-rise

building of about 5,000-squarefeet. While some in the community argued a highway location such as the one now being used in the Chamber of Commerce building on Harvey Avenue is better because it is more convenient to capture drive-by traffic, all on council Monday,

Dreamlift Day fundraiser

The annual Wendy’s Dreamlift Day, organized by Wendy’s Restaurants across southern B.C., will take place Wednesday, Jan. 29, from 6 a.m. to closing. This will be the 20th Wendy’s Dreamlift Day fundraiser which benefits the Sunshine Foundation of Canada’s efforts to send youngsters between the ages of 3 and 18 who are challenged by severe physical disabilities or life threatening illnesses on a Dreamlift To Disneyland trip every two years. The most recent trip took place last month. All the net proceeds from the day’s sales at Wendy’s restaurants in Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton, along with the day’s wages for staff, management and the owners are donated to fund the Dreamlift trips. “This is a special year, as we celebrate 20 years of support from the people in our communities,” said Wendy’s franchise owner Ken Park. “It is their generosity that helps to make many local children’s Disney dreams come true.” Local celebrities and dignitaries will be on hand throughout Dreamlift Day at the various restaurants to lend a hand, along with RCMP members, former Wendy’s staff who return to help out with this event every year and representatives of other local service and sports organizations. As in past years, Wendy’s will again welcome volunteers from the Orange Country Sheriff’s Department to help out, as their volunteers play a critical role in making the Disneyland experience a truly magical day for the participants.

Council takes another run at Cedar Avenue proposal Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The issue of what to do with seven city-owned waterfront properties in south Pandosy, which ignited a firestorm of public protest three years ago, has resurfaced. But this time, the city says it plans to sit down with stakeholders from the community to try and figure out what to do with the lands that became collectively known as “Cedar Avenue,” after one of the roads nearby. While the original plan called for some of the property in question to be developed and other parts to be used as waterfront parkland, opponents mobilized protesters and convinced the council of the day to defeat a proposed rezoning and stop the project because it was not all to be park. So the city now plans

what it is calling an “engagement process,” which was approved by city council Monday afternoon. City council says it will work with the community to craft a new plan for properties, located on the waterfront along Abbott Street, between Cedar Avenue and Newsom Avenue. The redevelopment of the seven properties is listed as one of council’s priorities for 2014. “We understand there were concerns with the last version of the site plan and we are ready to take another look,” said Mayor Walter Gray. “A lot has changed since the project was last before the community in 2011.” Shortly after being elected in 2012, Gray said the Cedar Avenue issue was one he would like to see resolved by his new council in its first term.

And, based on the aggressive timeframe set by city staff, that may very well happen. The plan is to start working on the public engagement process as early as next week, pick 25 to 30 members of the public and stakeholders to participate in a charrette in late February and report back with a proposal to council for approval by April. Implementation would be complete by October. As part of the framework going into the engagement process, council endorsed a set of eight project parameters, or guidelines, for the redevelopment: • Accommodating the Kelowna Paddle Centre within redevelopment scenarios, including up to 5,000 square feet of space. The city approved use of part of the site by The Kelowna Outrigger Club’s

paddle centre last year • Financial viability— complete the development with no additional tax impact and consider development options which result in a financial return to the city for further reinvestment opportunities in the community. • Incorporate a park and waterfront walkway as integral parts of the site • Incorporate park and pedestrian connections to current and anticipated developments • Design the site and buildings to meet bylaw requirements for parking in future zoning • Respect required riparian setbacks • Complete public engagement and any required rezoning by the fall of 2014 “The engagement process will kick off next week, including a twoday charrette or urban design workshop at the end

Downtown restaurant catches on fire Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The stench of smoke lingered around a downtown restaurant that was seriously damaged by fire Monday morning fire. At around 2:39 a.m. Kelowna Fire Department was dispatched to the Twisted Tomato at 371 Bernard Ave. Once they arrived at the two storey building, firefighters were greeted by black smoke streaming from the front door, said Dale Calhoun, platoon captain with the Kelowna Fire Department “Attack crews advanced hose lines into the building and extinguished the fire,” he said. Flames, which a preliminary investigation indicated were sparked in a back storage and laundry area, spread through the entire restaurant. The upper floor of the building and neighbouring businesses, however, were spared damage due to new technology, explained Calhoun. Because the Twisted Tomato is sandwiched between two other businesses the fire department protected those buildings by putting air pressure on the shared walls. “It’s a technique that’s mostly used in strip mall fires,” he said, noting that they’ve been studying the method for some time. High power exhaust

fans were set up and they blew air into cracks and crevices in the walls. Then the back door of the Twisted Tomato was opened to vent smoke and flames, saving neighbouring businesses any damage, although the smell of smoke was apparent later in the day. The cause of the fire did not appear to be suspi-

cious or electrical, but no conclusions on its cause were ready by press time. Kelowna fire department responded with 18 personnel, three engines, one ladder, one Rescue Vehicle, Safety Officer and a Command Unit. Assistance from RCMP, BCAS, FortisBC gas and electric. Twisted Tomato

owners weren’t available for comment at press time. According to Calhoun, the restaurant will likely be closed for some time as clean up and restoration crews have their work cut out for them. The fire department said Monday afternoon that the fire had been deemed accidental.

of February,” said Graham Hood, strategic land development manager. “We recognize that we need broad community involvement, so we’ll round out the process with our online engagement tool, an open house and public review sessions at the end of each charrette day.” Members of council welcomed the move to bring the issue back, including Coun. Luke Stack, who was the only member of council present at Monday’s meeting who served on the previous council that killed the 2011 rezoning. (Fellow councillors Andre Blaneil and Robert Hobson were not present as Blanleil was absent and Hobson has a conflict of interest so he can’t be part of the decision-making on this issue.) “I’m pleased to see this moving forward,” said Stack. “Hopefully we can come up with a plan that the whole community can get behind.” When the issue was

last before council, it divided the public. Some in the community wanted it all to be a park, while others agreed with the city that part should be developed to provide the city with money to create the park. Rallies were held by opponents, letters protesting the city’s plan were published in local newspapers and opponents

spoke out on radio talk shows. The council of the day, already seen by some as indecisive, was blasted by both sides for its response to the issue. A reminder of council’s action was even resurrected during the 2012 municipal election by opponents of incumbents running for re-election. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Visitor centre site championed

n the wake of the rejection by many vocal voices to locate a new tourist visitor centre in City Park, a second downtown site choice is not being left to chance. The Tourism Kelowna supporters have put on a full court press since last Thursday to promote the benefits of locating the visitor centre at the Queensway Jetty parking lot. Council unanimously endorsed that opinion on Monday. Probably citing a sense of need to get this project mov-

ing forward, the media push has been to promote the suggested Queensway location as an opportunity not to be missed. On our letters page today, Stan Martindale, chair of the Tourism Kelowna board, addresses the benefits of the new visitor centre location option and deflects any potential negative reaction. Other letters were emailed to us by various supporters of this initiative as well. The central argument in favour of this proposal seems to be a recognition of what role

visitor centres play for tourists today and how best to facilitate that service. As such, it’s not so much a place for trailers and RVs to stop as it is for tourists on foot to have a place to visit and find out what there is to do in our city during their stay. And since most of those tourists tend to congregate along the downtown core or along the lakefront boardwalk early on in their stay here, the Queensway location makes a lot of sense. Faced with a similar decision, other B.C. communities

such as Vernon, Richmond and Prince George have also adopted similar gameplans to relocate visitor centres within their downtown cores. While the Queensway/Mill/ Water corridor may cause some issues for RV and larger trailer drivers, it seems clear to the tourist association that attracting foot traffic to the visitor centre is a higher priority, another sign of the times that campers coming to the Okanagan for a holiday are giving way to vacationers staying in hotels and condos.

phone or tablet. Like any business, it pays to be where the people are and, in the case of Kelowna, they are downtown. The first attempt at finding a location for a new city centre tourist info spot was a grandiose plan for a building in part of Kelowna’s City Park. Given that the park is the jewel in this city’s waterfront crown of public space, the outcry against the proposal was predictable. No one wants to replace parkland with asphalt and concrete. Now a new proposal has been advanced by city hall for a smaller, 5,000-square-foot, building on what is now a parking lot at the foot of

Queensway. Council was to discuss the proposal at last Monday’s afternoon’s council meeting. But opponents have spoken out about that spot too, in recent days. And that has Kelowna Tourism cranking up its public relations effort to win support for the latest plan. As it stands Kelowna Tourism is merely a tenant at its current location, a spot both it and the chamber agree is not ideal. The chamber wants more space for its operations and Kelowna Tourism, which has already moved its administration offices out, needs more than just a counter. Back in the “beaches and peaches” days of Kelowna tourism, a high-

way location was ideal. But times change and so has the way travelers want to get their information. Rubber-wheel traffic still has a chance find out where to go, where to stay, where to eat and what’s happening as it rolls off the Coquihalla Connector at the provincial tourist information centre. So the majority of drivers arriving here will still be covered. But what the city needs is a place to provide information for those who are already here, people who don’t want to, or can’t, drive to a tourist information centre.

▼ KELOWNATOURIST INFO CENTRE

Advocating for new downtown location

To the editor: Visitor centres play an important role in optimizing the economic impact of tourism for their communities by inspiring visitors to see and do more. In Kelowna, the numbers are unequivocal about the economic impact of tourism on our city— visitors spend $279 million in our destination annually. Tourism generates $100 million in tax revenues divided by all levels of government, per year, translating into amenities, infrastructure and programs for residents. Data shows that communities are doing their utmost to position their visitor centres where tourists congregate and where pedestrians can access them while exploring the community in order to provide the best service possible to guests. Several B.C. communities have already done this and show impressive increases in usage and effectiveness of their downtown visitor centres. In Kelowna, we will need to take the same approach and we will need an appealing visitor centre that will serve as the “face” of the community to our visitors. At Tourism Kelowna, we eat, sleep and breathe tourism. We are up-to-speed on trends, declines and best practices. We want to share these learnings with you, our community. We recognize that you might have questions. Do any of these look familiar? Aren’t visitor centres best located on the highway? With the advent of GPS and other way-finding technologies, the number of vehicle-oriented visitors utilizing highway visitor centres throughout North America, including Kelowna, is declining rapidly as there is no longer as strong a demand for directional services from tourists.

As a result of this change in visitor centre usage patterns, the business models for these centres have to adapt. The statistics clearly demonstrate this and several B.C. visitor centres, including Richmond, Prince George and most recently Vernon, have or are in the process of relocating. A successful visitor centre must be accessible to large volumes of tourists at the point in their vacation when they are beginning their exploration of Kelowna. For most, this begins in downtown Kelowna along the waterfront. It is at this moment when a visitor centre provides a warm welcome to our guests and can attract and influence a much greater number of visitors to see more, stay longer and spend more in our community than could be done at the highway location. This is why 78 per cent of visitor centres in comparable North America destinations are now located in their main tourist district and/or downtown core where they can be accessed by large volumes of tourist foot traffic. What size of building are we talking about? The size of the building has not been confirmed, however, the size proposed by Tourism Kelowna is approximately 5,000 square feet, which is in-keeping with average sizes of visitor centres in the U.S. and Canada for destinations of similar size and budget. This is according to the 2013 Visitor Information Centres Study, conducted by Destination Marketing Association International where the average size of visitor centres in this category was 5,486 square feet. Would we be losing access to the lakefront?

Actually, lakefront access will be improved for residents and tourists. The waterfront walking path currently cuts through the parking lot. It will now be constructed around the lakefront side of the building increasing the amount of waterfront pathway and will improve the connectivity between Stuart Park and the marina area with a more scenic route. The proposed building will be no more than two storeys and will be built in a manner that compliments the surrounding buildings. Remember, we are talking about a building that will serve as the “face” of Kelowna—it will be a facility for residents to be proud of and to represent what is beautiful about our city. What if people on the highway can’t find the visitor centre? This will indeed be a challenge, however, fewer and fewer tourists are seeking out visitor centres while they are driving into or through a destination. This is why our user numbers are dropping so rapidly, to the point where, within a few years, a highway location will be completely obsolete. This is also why a new highway location is not the answer. We will ensure good signage along the highway to offset this issue. Won’t this mean that we are losing parking spaces downtown? There may be a loss of downtown parking due to the building of this centre but the extent of this is unknown at this point. The proposed area currently has 21 parking stalls. Will this clog our downtown with tour buses? Tour buses have pre-set itineraries and do not stop at the Kelowna Visitor Centre for information, regardless of its location.

Don’t give liquor licenses to grocery chains buck less than before, it’s not my problem. It’s pretty sad when we have no sympathy for anyone unless they are dirt poor. We cheer on the fat cats to kill off the little guys so they can bring us the same stuff for a bit less. Gut the middle class for the sake of a lower price. No matter that it’s actually the circle of decent middle income that keeps the system healthy and competitive for everyone’s benefit (even for those not selling booze). If convenience and price were serious problems, the government could have simply issued more licenses to familysized operations.

More community stores and better pricing would come from that. But once the cream is taken off the top by the big boys, the specialty store’s selection is often no longer feasible. So much for having an interesting place to find something unique. For that, we’ll just order it online and have it packed by an underpaid and bored assembly line worker living thousands of miles away; and then delivered to the house by a miniature helicopter drone. It’s called free enterprise. As a small business owner (but in the bookselling game), I agree that it has been a fantastic model in many respects.

Council unanimous in support of Queensway visitor centre option Locate from A1 With council’s approval in hand, city staff will now start looking at what the new building should look like, how much it will cost and what it should include. That work is estimated to cost $50,000, with the city picking up $40,000 and Tourism Kelowna paying the rest. The original plan

called for a building more than twice the size to go in the corner of City Park, near the intersection of Abbott Street and Bernard Avenue. That building would have meant the removal of trees in the park and Veendam Way, an area of the park that recognizes Kelowna’s Dutch sister city Veendam. It is also the area of the park that leads to the Kelowna cenotaph.

With the switch to a new location, city officials said Veendam Way will not be impacted by the planned redevelopment plan for the park. Coun. Colin Basran said he hopes now that the switch has been made, more people will look closer at other parts of the City Park plan because he feels it offers improvement to the popular downtown lakeshore park.

“There are some really cool parts of that plan that were overshadowed by the Tourism Kelowna’s (building) project,” he said. The new visitor information centre site received ringing endorsements from all members of council on hand Monday—three were away— with Coun. Robert Hobson calling it a site that is getting what it requires, a

building while also maintaining public access to the waterfront with a connection of the existing waterfront walkway. That walkway is already in place in front of Stuart Park and Waterfront Park to the north and Kerry Park and City Park to the south. Coun. Gail Given noted a new centre will also not only help visitors but local business as well,

as tourists are steered to them through the centre. One councillor, Luke Stack even reverse-paraphrased Canadian singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell when he described the new plan as “unpaving a parking lot to build a little bit of paradise.” As for council’s response, Mayor Walter Gray said he’s glad council waited to see what staff came back with.

“I think this goes to show council was listening (when the public spoke out against the original City Park location),” said Gray. “We were listening but we did not have an answer then. Now we do,” He said the suggestion for the new site came from an unidentified city staffer, who suggested it to his or her manager at City Hall.

Guilty plea to three offences Dealer from A1 were coming his way and stashed a large quantity of drugs in the storage locker of yet another one of his alleged drug runners who lived in the same complex. When the locker was searched, police picked up a duffel bag with 190.45 grams of pebble heroin, a distinct form of the drug also found on Barregar, 126.94 grams of methamphetamine and an assortment of pharmaceutical drugs stolen earlier from Medicine Shop Pharmacy. A drug expert for the Crown suggested the heroin was worth between $27,000 and $55,000 on the street, depending if it was sold by the ounce or by the point. The meth was pegged at $6,000 to $12,000 (ounce versus point) and the pharmaceuticals up to $25,000. Inside the apartment, police also found $38,000 in cash, a sum the courts seized. Collins, 37, was described to the court as having a lengthy criminal record with convictions ranging from drug charges to weapons offences and break and enter charges. And he is apparently connected to a wild chase up Westside Road. Collins was initially released on

$100,000 bail and permitted to get himself to and from his trial. When he failed to show for sentencing, police issued statements saying he has connections in Mexico, access to weapons and a plan to flee the country. The court heard he was connected to an infamous shoot-out that sent Kelowna RCMP on a chase up Westside Road toward Vernon in the summer of 2012 in pursuit of three individuals who fired at the officers. Collins stated in court that he was informed by police that two of the individuals in the car had a hit out on him. On Thursday he is expected to be given an additional six months for failing to show for sentencing on Dec. 19, which sent police searching for him all over Kelowna. In the end, the Crown nevertheless agreed to stay 17 counts against him in exchange for a guilty plea to the three main offences—possession charges for the heroin, methamphetamine and prescription drugs. The other counts included weapons charges. Judge Al Betton sentenced him to three and a half years less 76 days for time served, for which he will be given one-for-one credit for a total of 1,201 days in jail.

Grand Finale evening on Feb. 8 at the Delta Grand Hotel in Kelowna. Olympic 2010 gold medalist in ski cross Ashleigh McIvor will serve as the evening’s MC. The Grand Finale is the pinnacle of the Canadian Culinary Championships which brings together the 11 top chefs in Canada to compete for the title of Best Chef in Canada for 2014. Both Bentall and Robertson have performed across Canada at the regional Gold Medal Plates events which lead up to the culinary finals. This year’s Canadian Culinary Championships will also take place concurrently with the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, bringing into sharpened focus the excellence and ideals that the Canadian Culinary Championships and Gold Medal Plates seeks to support. “We are so proud to bring together this star-studded cast of performers, athletes and chefs to celebrate the spirit of excellence,” said Stephen Leckie, CEO and co

-founder of Gold Medal Plates and the Canadian Culinary Championships. The events have raised $8.2 million for the Canadian Olympic Foundation’s pursuit of excellence initiative. “My passion is music, and I am happy to lend my voice to support the Olympians in our country,” added Robertson, who performed with the Barenaked Ladies last weekend in Penticton. “They tirelessly work towards excellence, and on the Olympic stage, they get one shot—a couple of minutes on a ski hill or three minutes on a skating oval. “And the 11 competing chefs will be putting it on the line over the course of the three competitions of the Canadian Culinary Championships. “We’ll experience the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat…in a culinary sense. Tickets are selling quickly for the Grand Finale at the Delta Grand on Feb. 8. For more info visit www.goldmedalplates. com or email ccc@goldmedalplates.com.

Rockets welcome chance for some home cooking Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

MARISSA BAECKER/SHOOTTHEBREEZE

JUJHAR Khaira (left) and the Everett Silvertips will visit Jordon Cooke, Madison Bowey and the Kelowna Rockets in WHL action Wednesday at Prospera Place.

In all his years in the game, Ryan Huska can’t recall a stretch of hockey quite as demanding as the one his Kelowna Rockets have just come through. Sixteen of the WHL club’s last 18 games were played away from the friendly confines of Prospera Place, all in a span of 39 days. The good news is, the Canadian Hockey League’s No. 1 team survived the test with flying colours, posting a sparkling 15-3-0 record. “When we looked at our schedule before this, we thought if we can come out this tough stretch just above .500, we’ll be happy,” said Huska, the Rockets head coach. “To do as well as the guys did, we’re really

pleased…they did a good job of showing up on the road and coming to play pretty much every night.” The Rockets are about to reap the rewards of those thousands of kilometres on the road as they open a three-game home stand Wednesday night against the Everett Silvertips. Kelowna will play 17 of its last 27 regular season games at Prospera Place, including 11 of the next 14. Even with an 11-point lead in the overall standings, Huska said his club needs to bear down and make the most of the abundance of home games over the next month. “We can’t have a letup, we have to keep reminding ourselves that we have to make the most of our home games now,”

Huska said. “If we can take advantage of this and keep adding wins, then we’re in control of where we end up. It’s important that we don’t change anything and continue to push and keep working hard.” Forward Marek Tvrdon, acquired Jan. 8 from Vancouver, made his debut on the weekend against Victoria, playing on a line with Nick Merkley and Ryan Olsen. The 20-year-old Slovak scored his first goal as a Rocket in Sunday’s 5-3 win over the Royals. The Rockets (37-60-2) are home for two games this weekend, Friday against Medicine Hat and Saturday against the Lethbridge Hurricanes. On Sunday, Kelowna will visit the Seattle Thunderbirds. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Red-hot Warriors chase No. 1 Vees In 2014, no B.C. Hockey League team has been hotter than the West Kelowna Warriors. As a result, the Warriors are breathing down the neck of the first-place Penticton Vees. The Warriors, who are 8-0-1 in their last nine games, knocked off the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 5-3 on Sunday at Royal LePage Place to move to within four points of the Vees atop the Interior Division. West Kelowna has two games in hand. The Warriors also set two club records in the process on Sunday, run-

ning their home unbeaten streak to eight and their overall unbeaten string to nine. After coming from two goals down to beat Trail on Dec. 30, head coach Rylan Ferster said pretty much everything has been going his club’s way ever since. “For the most part we’ve been playing a full 60 minutes, and I think since Christmas we’ve been pretty lucky, we’re getting some breaks we weren’t getting in November,” said Ferster. “We came from two down against Trail with

the net empty, and we did the same against Nanaimo a few days later. We’re finally getting some puck luck and that comes from playing hard band sticking with it. The guys are running with it.” The Warriors roared out to a 5-0 lead on the Bulldogs on Sunday, then let their foot off the gas in the third period to post a 5-3 win. Jason Cotton scored a pair in the win, while Ben Tegtmeyer had a goal and two assists, as the Warriors outshot the Bulldogs 51-21. Cody Porter stopped

18 shots in for the win in his first start since Jan. 4. Head coach Rylan Ferster wasn’t overly pleased with the third period from his club, but is happy with the final result. “It’s unfortunate we had to give up three there in the third period but we don’t want to critique this too much,” said Ferster. “We’re happy to obviously get the two points at this time of the year.” As for chasing down the Penticton Vees, Fer-

UBCO Heat hoops teams get split with TWU Spartans The UBCO Heat men’s and women’s basketball squads earned their first Canada West wins of the season on

home court, turning aside the Trinity Western Spartans on Friday night. TWU returned the favour in both games on

Saturday night, as the two sides settled a weekend on the UBCO hardwood. In the men’s game Friday, Yassine Ghomari led

the way for UBCO with 24 points as the Heat bettered the Spartans 75-73. Ghomari was also effective in a defensive mode, pressuring TWU veteran Mark Perrin who was held to just six points. Fellow guard Mitch Goodwin was solid in a support role for the Heat with 17 points, five rebounds and four assists. “It’s great playing with him,” Ghomari said of Goodwin. “He’s very unselfish, he’s great to play with, and he’s always getting better. We gel very well together and we’re both looking for each other. When we’re both on…” On Saturday, a more energized TWU team got even with UBCO with a 92-70 victory. Goodwin scored another 18 points to lead the Heat, while fifth-year

back games this weekend.

HEAT WOMEN

In women’s action Friday, second-year post Kayla McFadden carried

much of the load for the Heat with 14 points and nine rebounds in a 67-62 win over the Spartans. “It feels awesome,” said McFadden, the Pitt Meadows native, as the Heat won for the third time this season. “It always feels really good, and it was a team effort, and that’s always the best way to win.” Emily Kanester had 15 points, while Sarah Allison had 14 and was 4-for-4 from the line. On Sarturday, TWU bounced back with a 5950 victory. Kanester had a teamhigh 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting for UBCO. McFadden added 10 points and six boards. The Heat (3-11) will be at the Envision Athletic Centre in Abbotsford this coming weekend for two games with the Cascades.

Chiefs host Steam Tuesday The Kelowna Chiefs will be looking for their third straight win when they host the Summerland Steam Tuesday in KIJHL action. Face off at Rutland is

Arena is 7 p.m. Kelowna (26-11-0-3) leads the Steam by seven points atop the KIJHL’s Okanagan Division. The Chiefs are coming off a pair of tight,

low-scoring victories on the weekend. On Friday, Brady Mende and Alex Fortin scored goals and Tyler O’Donnell made 32 saves in a 2-1 won over the visit-

ing Chase Heat. On Saturday, Braeden Cyra scored for both goals as Kelowna knocked off the hometown Sicamous

Warriors focus on overall place Warriors from A11 ster isn’t overly concerned exactly where the Warriors finish, as long as they find a way into the post-season. “Sure, first

would be nice but that’s not really our focus,” he said. “Placing 1 to 4 is more important, because one really good team in our division is going to get left out. First hasn’t been

a goal at all, just making sure we’re staying in the race. This is the tightest I’ve ever seen it.” The Vernon Vipers are just two points back of the Warriors, with Salmon

Arm six back in fourth. The Warriors (26-122-2) will hit the road this weekend for games in Victoria Friday, Alberni on Saturday, and in Chilliwack on Sunday.

” A week after capturing tthe Kelowna International eElite Midget Tournament, dthe Okanagan Rockets reluctantly settled for a ,split with the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds in B.C. tMajor Midget League action. d As part of the league’s hall-star weekend in Langley, the Rockets downed the T’Birds 6-2 on SaturUday, before suffering a 4-3 -upset loss on Sunday at the George Preston Centre. The loss ended Okanagan’s seven-game

BCMML winning streak and left them tied for top spot with the Vancouver Northwest Giants. Both teams are 23-4-1, good for 47 points, eight points ahead of the third-place Valley West Hawks. On Saturday, Tanner Campbell scored four times for the Rockets, while Tyson Jost added a goal and two assists and Jake Kryski scored the other. On Sunday, Cory Santoro gave the Rockets a quick 1-0 lead at 2:35 of the first, but they never

really got untracked as the T’Birds tied it, then scored three more times in the second period. A power play goal by Jost late in the second cut the lead to one, but Fraser Valley hung on in the third for the win, despite being outshot 19-7 by the Rockets in the final frame. This coming weekend, the Rockets will travel to Nanaimo to take on the North Island Silvetips.

Q A

My roof is in pretty bad shape. Can I get a new roof in the winter or should I wait until spring? 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. Here’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. It’s a slower time for roofing and your cost for a new roof will be likely be less, as a result.

Q A

What is Gum Disease and how do I know if I have it?

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It is a bacterial infection in the gum, bone and ligaments that support your teeth in the jaw. Gum disease has also been linked to various general health problems such as heart disease and diabetes; known as the oral-systemic link. Symptoms are red, swollen, bleeding and receding gums and bad breath. If the disease is present and not treated it can continue to progress and tooth loss can result. Like high blood pressure, gum disease is also painless and many people are unaware they have it. Hygienists will record measurements of your gums each year to check for any changes in the bone support around your teeth. To treat the infection, your hygienist will use specialized instruments to remove toxic deposits stuck to the teeth that harbor bacteria (scale and root plane). More frequent scaling and root planing visits every 3-4 months may be necessary to clean the deeper regions that are hard/ impossible to access at home with brushing and flossing. Laser treatments to disinfect the gums, such as Periowave, are also effective to aid in the healing progress. At home, also using a Sonicare electric toothbrush and specific aids to clean between the teeth are helpful to control the plaque levels. Call us for an evaluation and treatment recommendations today.

Will Whole Body Vibration (WBV) slow down aging, and help with age related issues?

Yes, WBV has been proven to slow down aging and reverse many symptoms that come with the aging process. Some main examples are, help keep or increase muscle, tighten and tone skin, weight loss, increases range of motion, flexibility and balance, improves circulation circulation, speeds up detoxification, pain control, incontinence, sex drive, mental health, regulates blood sugar and pressure, improves digestion and colon, unbalanced hormones, better sleep, reduces stress, bone density, chronic conditions etc. We do have WBV in senior homes now, they see the benefits with the seniors, and find WBV safer, and easy to use than the traditional gym equipment. Prevention is the best thing a person can do for themselves and family, and now have WBV as part of the the home exercise equipment, or by itself. WBV is a time saver and easy to use, little effort and will see results by using the machine 10 mins. per day, which would equal to 1 hr. regular exercise. As a Certified Natural Health Care Consultant, I recommend eating healthy, supplements, and move as much as possible, and Dr. advise as needed. If you have a questions or concerns, please contact me.

Certified Post Mastectomy Fitter & Prosthetic Resident

Q A

My mother has recently had a mastectomy due to breast cancer and does not want reconstruction surgery. How can she get her feminine shape back?

One in nine women will have breast cancer in their lifetime and close to half with invasive breast cancer will have a mastectomy. For women that have not had reconstruction, a breast prosthesis can help restore their feminine shape. Breast prostheses are designed to return the natural appearance, weight, and feel of a breast. Breast prostheses are covered by Pharmacare and are typically worn in mastectomy bras that have pockets sewn into the cup. There are a wide range of sizes and styles available. An experienced fitter can help choose the best size and style for your mother. To learn more about breast forms and mastectomy bras, call our office to book a free consultation with one of our certified post-mastectomy fitters at (250) 861-1833.

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

Q A

What causes gout and how can I treat it?

Gout is caused by an accumulation of uric acid, a breakdown product of digested protein -- specifically purines-- in our diet. Uric acid can stay dissolved in the blood but if it accumulates enough it will deposit in our joints and cause pain. The most common joint this occurs in is the big toe joint. The big toe joint is the coolest in the body and the uric acid will often deposit there. Foods that are high in purines that contribute to gout include beer and alcohol, anchovies, breads, fish roe, meats, sardines, yeast, seafood, liver, dried beans, mushrooms, peas, and spinach. Cutting these foods out of your diet will help reduce symptoms. Foods that are beneficial for those with gout include dark berries, vegetables not listed above, nuts, eggs, fatty acids found in salmon, flax oil, low fat dairy, and tofu made from soybeans. A family history of gout can also predispose you to this problem. Chronic gout can in turn also cause arthritis. If your big toe joint becomes painful, red and inflamed, seeing your podiatrist can help control your symptoms and prevent them from recurring.

Hearing Centre

Q A

My dad bought hearing aids several years ago and he doesn’t even use them. It drives us nuts! What’s wrong with him or them?? As a professional who is keenly interested in helping people hear better, stories like your dad’s frustrate and upset me. There can be several reasons why he has given up on his hearing aids. Maybe he can’t tolerate the sound quality from them? Or they are uncomfortable when he has them on. The clinic that fit him with the aids can likely fix these issues. However, perhaps the problem lies more with your dad. Wearing hearing aids is like providing physiotherapy for your brain – specifically the parts of your brain that haven’t been hearing for awhile. And it can be discouraging and difficult starting out with new aids, as it is with all physiotherapy starting out, but with patience and perseverance your ability to use the aids significantly improves. So perhaps your dad needs more time and practice with his aids.

Aboriginal Education Program Enhancing School Success for Aboriginal Students Community Connection January 2014

Five-year Aboriginal Education Enhancement agreement signed amid celebration ancestry. Aboriginal students performed at the Signing Ceremony representing our elementary, middle, and secondary school students. Having students dancing and singing helped to reinforce the importance of self-expression and encouragement in the sharing of the rich Aboriginal culture and history with all who witnessed the celebration. Students from Sensisyusten House of Learning sang in the Okanag-

ABORIGINAL STUDENT LEADERS and Ambassadors, Saige-Taylor Werstuik, Quentin Scott and Lenasia Ned lead the opening ceremony on Wednesday, January 15. An amazing event on January 15, 2014 brought the Central Okanagan School District, local Aboriginal communities and the Ministry of Education together to celebrate the

signing of the second Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement. Over 250 people were in attendance at the Sensisyusten House of Learning, on the traditional territory of the Okanagan, Syilx people to witness the signing. Representatives from Westbank First Nation, the Ministry of Education, the Central Okanagan School District, and the Okanagan Nation Alliance all spoke about the importance of enhancing the success for our Aboriginal students. As the Okanagan Nation Alliance, Executive Director Pauline Terbasket said, “It is the commitment to the continued partnership and the journey of coming along and finding ways and means to work together that will allow our students to con-

tinue to be successful”. The celebration began with our Aboriginal Student Leaders and Ambassadors, Saige-Taylor Werstuik, Quentin Scott, and Lenasia Ned leading the

opening ceremony carrying the Unity and Eagle Staffs, which were recently carved and presented to the District from Westbank First Nation Carver, Chad Paul. Providing a variety of leadership opportunities for all Aboriginal students continues to be a strong focus in the 2014-2019 Enhancement Agreement. The Enhancement Agreement also focuses on increasing academic supports, such as homework clubs and teacher tutors in middle and secondary schools, and promoting positive self-esteem and pride in

Board of Education Chairperson, Moyra Baxter, noted, “That is really positive because we do not want to see any disparity between our Aboriginal students and other students.” Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education stated - “Aboriginal

Much progress has been made since the first Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement. With unique programs such as the Academy of Indigenous Studies offered at Mount Boucherie Secondary School, the addition of Aboriginal Student Leadership courses and the newly developed School District Aboriginal Paddling Team, more students are engaged and becoming more successful with their studies.

Alvera passed away peacefully on January 15, 2014 at the age of 101 years. Thelma was born on August 12, 1912 in Crookston, Minnesota. She was the second daughter of nine children, to John Alexander and Electa Pearl (Henry) Lightheart. Shortly after being born, her father made a â€˜blind swapâ€™ trading a pool hall for a homestead at Foam Lake, Sask. Her father enlisted in WW1 and experienced action at Vimy Ridge, France. Following the war, they moved to Ituna, La Bret, Fort Quâ€™Appelle, Regina, Nipawin and finally settling on a homestead in Smeaton, Sask. Thelma met and married Fred Carter in 1934. Fred helped clear land for the new Torch School where Thelma would become the first teacher. Thelma and Fred had two sons, Grant and Roland. Fred Carter passed away July 3, 1938 while digging a well. Thelma remarried Irvin Scarf on December 15, 1944 in Prince Albert. While living in Prince Albert she taught with the Prince Albert School Division for eight years. In 1965, Thelma and Irvin purchased a resort at Candle Lake, Sask. They renamed it Telwin Beach by combining letters from their two names. Thelma continued with her profession for two years at the Candle Lake School. Lac La Ronge was their last move prior to retirement in 1972. Peachland, B.C. became their home until the death of Irvin. Thelma moved to Owen Sound, Ontario to be close to her brother, sisters, nieces and nephews. She lived many years with her caring niece & nephew Lynn (Wayne) Bailey and her sister Clarice. Thelmaâ€™s final move was to the Sutherland Hills Retirement Home, Kelowna, B.C. She spent her last few years close to her deeply loved granddaughter, Brenda (Rob) Bulach & Corey, Kira , Ryan and adored grandson Brent (Shirley) Carter.

Thelma is survived by her devoted grand children, Brent (Shirley) Carter, Brenda (Rob) Bulach & family; a daughter -in-law Marie Carter & family; a sister-inlaw, Mildred Lightheart; Pearl Lightheart, numerous nieces and nephews. Her Great grandchildren were very important to her as well. Special recognition to Kira and Corey who were by her side constantly.

NEWS ▼ SENIORS

Learning to embrace the transition in life to elderhood E xploring the journey of aging and taking a good hard look at my own somewhat driven boomer mentality seems to be my favourite pastime these days. A good friend just had her 50th birthday last week. As I gleefully sent her well wishes on her celebration down in Costa Rica, I pondered the fact that 12 years have passed since I hit that milestone. I remember it as a truly joyous event, feeling pretty attractive and full of hope and promise for what was to come. As I approached and passed my own 60th birthday two years ago, it was evident to me that this was going to be a more challenging passage. As one crosses the threshold into the third stage of life, we seem to be ill-prepared as to how to traverse the waters. As in many other cultures where a “rite of passage” to elderhood seems to be both defined and respected, baby boomers hitting their 60s often unconsciously suffer from a kind of ageism that is deeply buried in the subconscious. So what is elderhood and is there a path we can follow to come to rest gently in its embrace? As I have said in previous columns, when you simply commit to beginning the journey, the answers do come. First, there seems to be a call to elderhood, an inner urging to transition to a new way of being. I remember when my children where transitioning from the interdependence of a life at home to the exciting, but scary, world of living on their own and making decisions that were previously not required of them.

Knitting and chatting at the library The Knit and Gab Club will be meeting at the Rutland library branch of the Okanagan Regional Library this winter. The meetings will take place at the Rutland library, located in the Plaza 33 shopping centre, on Tuesdays starting at 6:15 p.m. from Feb. 4 to March 25. For more information, call 250-765-8165 or visit www.orl.bc.ca.

SENIORS’ CONCERNS

Marjorie Horne It took me until the third child was experiencing this before I really began to understand what the process meant and how to best support their passage into independence. Who knew that as we enter the third stage of life, it involves a reversing back to interdependence and letting go of the attachment to productivity and doingness in a way that we have become very accustomed to. The aging process seems to either bring out the best or the worst in people.

The more the transition to elderhood is resisted, the more bitterness and anger starts to overtake the unaware aging traveller. I think we have all seen people who are in their 80s, still in good health, but emanating a negativity that is draining to them and to those around them. They become more isolated and alone, furthering their self actualizing truth that life is hell. Author William Bridges describes transition as not just a nice way to say change, but as an inner process through which people come to terms with a change, as they let go of the way things used to be and reorient themselves to the way that things are now. Transition represents a path to follow, rather than experiencing a “change

barrier” that often prevents us from truly moving forward successfully. It requires first letting go of the inner connections you had to the way things were. The question that always helps you to shift your focus from change to transition is: “What is it time for me to let go of?” Being an elder and being old seem to hold very different energies. A path to elderhood engages a new intention of creativity, passion, service and a sharing of wisdom that leads one into a greater place of peace, humility and presence. It is not passive, but also not active in the same way that we have been in the past. It opens us to a greater experience of ourselves and the world around us as we become ordinary sages, aware of the need to distribute our

wisdom and experience for the benefit of others. We reconnect in the spirit of interdependence and begin to accept it as a good thing. One hundred years ago, the average life expectancy was 47 years. Today, at age 50 we have

half our adult lives left to live in reasonably good health. Letting go of denial and embracing the transition into elderhood is really quite full of a wonder that offers much opportunity for true fulfillment. Join me and other

wannabe sages at an upcoming workshop called A Path To Elderhood. To register email marjorie@caresmart.ca or call 250-863-9577. Marjorie Horne is the owner of Caresmart Seniors Consulting. www.caresmart.ca

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

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

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

Kaida would do well in an active home with a resident dog to keep her company, so if this sounds like the perfect addition to your household, bring the whole family down and spend some time getting to know her.

ARVEE

ID#320404

Dutchess is a quiet sweetie with a wonderful personality. She enjoys a calm and mellow environment and we bet you will totally fall in love with her once you meet. A ‘forever home’ of her own is all she is asking for, so why not come down and meet her, and see for yourself if she isn’t the perfect feline to compliment your home.

Mia is very lovable with a great personality. She loves to interact and get lots of attention. Her ginger colored coat is very attractive and she is a medium size. If you have lots of love and time for her...you won’t be disappointed with the love you get back. Ask the staff to set up a meet and greet with her.

YOUNG ADULT RABBIT FEMALE (spayed?)

Arvee is a very pretty red/white Dutch bunny. She will settle into your arms for some quality petting and is very friendly. She is already using her litter box, has had a preliminary health check, nail trim and is ready to meet the world. Volunteers will be happy to help, instruct & set up a new home, if you are a first time bunny owner. She can’t wait to meet you.
