▼ DREAMLIFT DAY

Wendy’s staff, customers help the kids Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Orange County Sheriff’s Department Capt. Bob Peterson was there when it started. And 20 years later, he still wants to help.

Peterson was one of the sheriff’s department officers who volunteered to escort children from B.C. with life-threatening illnesses around Disneyland during the first Wendy’s/Sunshine Foundation Dreamlift.

On Wednesday, he, along with seven other members of the department, were in Kelowna helping with the annual fundraising day that raises money for the Disneyland trips.

“It puts life in perspective,” said Peterson when asked why he and his fellow officers volunteer year after VIDEO ONLINE: www.kelownacapnews.com year to help kids from thousands of kilometres away in another country enjoy a day at Disneyland.

He said it’s a day they may not otherwise get to experience.

“These kids have been dealt a tough hand. It feels good to help,” said Peterson.

He said when you accompany a child who cannot see or hear on a ride at Disneyland and who experiences it simply through sensation rather than sight and sound, and who comes off the ride with a huge smile on his face and a simple one word description—“awesome”—you know why you volunteer year after year.

Peterson is just one of between 100 and 140 people associated with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department who work to make the Dreamlifts happen in southern California.

Marilyn MacDougall, an executive director with the department, has also been there from the beginning, now coordinating the effort south of the border.

She was also in Kelowna Wednesday‚ her fifth trip here to see firsthand the popularity of the Dreamlift Day. See Kids A4

City covered by heavy blanket of snow Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A thick blanket of snow fell over the Okanagan Wednesday, sending area residents sliding across slick surfaces.

The Westside was particularly hard hit by soggy flakes, and several collisions on Boucherie Road snarled traffic during the morning commute.

Snow showed no signs of abating by noon, but Environment Canada meteorologist Doug

Lundquist, said that it would likely taper off by evening, with little more than flurries carrying on for the next couple of days.

“It’s probably temporary,” he said. “But we are heading into a slightly cooler pattern.”

Cloudy skies will prevail from Friday through to Sunday, with highs ranging from -1C to -3C. All in all, it’s a fairly stark contrast to the rest of this winter’s weather.

Until Wednesday, there had only been around nine milli-

metres of precipitation compared to the average 39.

“We’ve had much less precipitation and snowfall this month,” said Lundquist, noting that continued snowfall could close the gap quickly.

While valley bottom residents were rudely awakened by Wednesday’s snowy assault, life up at Big White has been fairly snowfilled for the entirety of the season, and as to be expected all sliding was an entirely welcome experience.

“We are having a tremendous season,” said Michael J Ballingall, Big White spokesperson.

“We have had some of the most snow in North America.

Just today, with the new snowfall, we’ve had 400 cm come from the sky, and our base is over 200 cm.”

All the mountain’s runs have remained open since the season started and Ballingall said there has been record breaking attendance throughout the year.

KSS choir tune up for Encore 2014 Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Growing up in Cranbrook, Renee Tull’s dream was to be the maestro of her own success and sing in a big chamber choir or play in a full concert band.

While she may only be in Grade 10, her sights are set on a university music program—possibly at the University of Victoria—and the experience of performing with a mass group of classmates is the best possible training ground in her eyes.

When asked why she is so clearly pumped about joining the Kelowna Secondary School’s music program this year she answers: “Because it’s my life.”

Tull took voice lessons from Grades 1 to 7, two years of piano instruction, three years of guitar and is now enrolled in Ladies Chamber Choir, Chamber Choir, Concert Choir, and the Rhythm and Blues Band.

She’s not alone. Of the students practising for the school’s annual concert showcase and fundraiser, Encore 2014, almost all of them are involved in more than one group and many, if not most, have taken outside training to polish their skills.

Kennedy Koren has

technically already graduated from high school, but the winsome soprano stuck around for her final semester to take Chamber Choir, Ladies Chamber Choir and Rhythm and Blues Band.

“I just love singing with everyone together.

That sound is so different and so pretty,” said Koren. “…And having that sense of community.”

This week, as their contemporaries were studying for final exams and enjoying a week away from the regular classes, the music students were hard at work polishing notes and perfecting performance style.

Music is essential to life, according to teacher Sheila French, one of the key forces behind the exhaustive program.

Before the parent committee steps in to assist, before the students start trying to figure out if they can really do a Wednesday class schedule that runs from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., French must thoroughly research the music selections.

This process takes up much of her summer and, at this point in the year, she’s already got a good deal of next year’s picks worked out. Each year she balances the talents and strengths of the students that show up

THE KELOWNA Secondary School Chamber Choir, under the direction of teacher Sheila French, spent Tuesday morning working on their performance to polish off kinks before Encore 2014.

on the roster with the vision of the show—and, of course, then she teaches the music.

“Kill me now! Do it right so that I can erase that,” she shouts as the group working Tuesday hit a note slightly off pitch.

Her highly-animated style seems to meet the needs of the group

perfectly as they bounce from their goofy teenage cacophony to a polished vocal ménage with the strike of a piano key intended to call their attention.

Some 16 groups will perform on Tuesday, Feb. 4 and Wednesday, Feb. 5 at Kelowna Community Theatre. While most of the students are from

KSS, there are some who enrol in two schools at once just to have the opportunity to learn in the KSS music program.

Striving for perfection seems to strike a chord with these students.

“I didn’t get a chill bump and a tear on that, where I did before,” said French as the group ran through the same few bars

for the umpteenth time.

Encore 2014 will include performances from the Night Owl Orchestra, Concert Band 10, Jazz Band 11, Jazz Combo 12, Jazz Combo 10, Concert Choir, R&B Band, Vocal Jazz, Jazz Band 10, Vocal Jazz Combo, Jazz Band 12, Jazz Combo 11, Senior Concert Band, Men’s Chamber Choir, Ladies

Chamber Choir, and Chamber Choir.

Tickets are $15 for one night or $25 for two; students are $10 for one night and $15 for two.

Tickets can be purchased through the Kelowna Secondary School website, kss.sd23.bc.ca, under the Encore 2014 tab. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

New municipal hall locations shortlisted Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The District of West Kelowna has shortlisted four Westbank Centre locations as potential sites for its new Municipal Hall.

Mayor Doug Findlater made the announcement at the beginning of the district’s council meeting Tuesday night.

“Council has selected four proponents to proceed with the request for

proposals stage in the development of West Kelowna Civic Centre Project in Westbank Centre,” said Findlater.

The four groups being asked to submit proposals include: Town Centre Partners Group (relating to 3656 Brown Road), New Town/Sturgess Group (relating to 3641 Elliott Road), Maple Reinders Group (relating to 3717 Elliott Road with secured purchase agreement for ad-

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

jacent sites at 2495 Main Street and 3711 Elliott Road) and Total Concept Group (relating to 2528 Main Street). The district launched a request for qualifications process in November 2013, which garnered nine submissions.

According to Kirsten Jones, communications supervisor for the district, the submissions were evaluated based on: Project team members, experience in design and

construction, site location and financial capacity. A score was assigned, with the highest scoring proponents being selected.

The next step in the process will begin in February, with the release of a conceptual design request for proposals to the shortlisted proponents.

The candidates will prepare detailed technical and financial proposals, which will be evaluated against a set of predetermined evaluation criteria.

Jones said project consultant Jonathan Huggett has been instrumental in determining that criteria.

She added there isn’t a specific cost associated with the project right now, as the district is open to a variety of ideas of how the Municipal Hall/Civic Centre can be built. The district has agreed to pay an honorarium of up to $25,000 to each of the unsuccessful candidates to offset the cost of preparing detailed proposals.

“All you need to see is smiles on the kids’ faces and you know why you are doing it,” she said.

Yesterday, the Wendy’s restaurants in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, Salmon Arm and Kamloops were packed as net proceeds from all food sold, as well as the donated wages of staff and managers went to the cause. Last year, $115,000 was raised and organizers were hoping to top that figure this year. (The figure was not known as of press deadline. Check kelownacapnews.com for an update.)

Ken Park, owner of the nine Wendy’s franchises in the six communities, called Dreamlift Day a special day for him and his staff. Having taken over the franchise prior to last year’s day, he said he was proud to carry on the tradition established by the previous owners in 1994.

As he looked at the snow falling outside the Harvey Avenue restaurant, he admitted while the weather could have been better he was still confident the public would come out in droves to support the cause.

For diners like Margot and Kit Carson of Peachland, going to Wendy’s to support the Dreamlift has become a tradition they will not miss. “We’re here to support the kids,” said Margot, adding she and her husband have been going since the mid-1990s.

With local civic, sports and media personalities, as well as police officers, firefighters and ambulance paramedics lending a hand behind the counter, and the lineup to buy food snaking throughout the restaurant, diners accepted the long wait for service with good humour.

“You meet people and get to talk to them,” said Leanne Basran, who was there with her two young children and her in-laws. While the family ate, Leanne’s husband Colin, a Kelowna city councillor, donned an apron to help as a volunteer worker.

“It’s really become a fixture, a tradition,” said Cathy Sarino a chapter volunteer coordinator with the Sunshine Foundation of Canada. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

“It was sunny at Big White for nine days,” he

Fresh snow, he said, would likely send a rush of locals up into the mountains, as Okanaganites don’t like to ski unless it’s in fresh powder.

Former Westside-Kelowna MLA adjusting to life in China Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Ben Stewart, the British Columbia representative in Asia and Investment and Trade Commissioner, says he is quickly learning the importance of his new job.

Stewart was in West Kelowna on Wednesday, speaking at a Greater Westside Board of Trade luncheon.

“I can see much more clearly why the premier felt that there was a gap,” said Stewart.

He gave an example of a meeting he had last week with a vice chairman of one of the largest state-owned mining companies in China, which currently has three projects in progress in B.C. “Our trade representatives don’t normally get meetings at that level,” said Stewart.

“Having somebody there when the premier or the minister can’t be there—that’s what my

role is.”

He explained B.C. is doing more business with China than any other Canadian province.

“It’s difficult to overstate how important Asia is to B.C.’s economic future.

“In 2012, B.C.’s exports to China reached $5.9 billion—an increase of 18 per cent over 2011.”

He encouraged the board of trade members interested in exporting and looking for investment to use the services of the British Columbia International Trade and Investment offices.

The former Westside-Kelowna MLA recently finalized his accommodation and will be based in Beijing.

Stewart said there are challenging aspects about the new job. For example, he’s eager to learn the language so he doesn’t have to rely on a translator.

“I’ve been in high gear on language training.

“When I go to these

meetings, and go through an interpreter, I always know there are things lost

in translation.

“If I can gain enough confidence to be able to

help explain or understand what’s being asked, I’ll be able to do an even

better job—so I’m working at that.”

Okanagan—it will also be available at the company’s dealerships in Penticton and Vernon—reinforces his company’s motto that it is a “family business with family values.”

“We wanted to get involved because this is important,” said Bannister, whose three young children were the first to be fingerprinted with the digital equipment in Kelowna on Tuesday.

His wife Nadine said she felt it was important that parents have proper fingerprint and photo records of their children, which can be used to help identify them should something happen to them.

On the back of the digital records, information is given about how to set up a family safety plan, as well as safety tips for children gathered from both Canadian and U.S. law enforcement

agencies.

Recording fingerprints is easy and painless with the digital equipment.

Children simply place their fingers and thumbs, one at a time, on a small scanner pad and a digital image is recorded.

In the past, similar services have been offered here for a few days at a time using ink for the fingerprinting.

But Operation Kidsafe founder Mark Bott, on hand Tuesday, said police officers have told him that often ink fingerprints— especially from very young children—are not usable because they tend to smudge if not taken correctly.

He said while he recommends children be at least one year old to have their fingerprints recorded, the trained technicians using the equipment will record fingerprints of children younger than that.

Generosity Day aims to give back Finding the roots of happiness generously to your community STAFF REPORTER

We’re not going to put our individual hands out, we’re going to put our hands together, says Candace Giesbrecht, director of promotion and development for the Canadian Mental Health Association in Kelowna.

She is talking about Okanagan Generosity Day, a campaign to encourage generosity of every type, which CMHA and four other non-profit organizations are bringing to the Central Okanagan.

“We just want to call people’s attention to giving generously,” she said.

“Part of the deal is that you commit to not exploiting this for your own gain. We want to make this about the community, not about a cause.”

Generosity Day got started on a global level in 2011 when Sasha Dichter, an executive for a non-profit organization targeting poverty who blogs about generosity, decided to take his own personal commitment not to turn down any request for help for the month of February and turn it into a worldwide movement.

With the help of sever-

al friends who head other non-profits, he took aim at Valentine’s Day, hoping to save it from the corporations looking to profit on romantic love and use the date to help everyone around the world share in a more generous spirit.

As Giesbrecht explains it, this could mean volunteering or donating funds, but it can also be as simple as offering up your Safeway card to someone who has forgotten theirs or letting the elderly person in line behind you take your spot in a line, as she saw one woman do in the grocery store this

week.

“We’re asking, what could you do on this day that would show your love for the community?” she said. “We intentionally decided not to police it.”

The Central Okanagan Foundation, Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, Kelowna Community Resources, United Way of the Central and South Okanagan, and CMHA have all set up a Facebook account and will be using the hashtag #okletsgive in their social media promotions.

Giesbrecht said she first noticed the concept

on Twitter and followed it trending last year, thinking it was a brilliant plan to encourage giving in a global way.

“So often people think (non-profit organizations) are competing with each other, but if somebody is investing generously in one aspect of our community, it’s going to impact us all,” she said.

Big court win for teachers

A

court decision on Monday awarding the B.C. Teachers Federation $2 million in damages, and ordering a return to class size and composition provisions in a teachers’ contract from almost 15 years ago, is almost certain to lead to political strife.

Some estimates suggest the cost of the judgment to taxpayers could total $1 billion. If that is the case, the provincial government is almost certain to appeal.

The ruling by B.C. Supreme

Court Justice Susan Griffin speculated (because there is no hard evidence on the record, due to cabinet confidentiality) that the provincial government deliberately stalled on renegotiating the class size and composition provisions with the BCTF in 2011. Griffin was the author of an earlier court ruling calling for new legislation within a year.

In her ruling, she stated: “(Negotiators’) strategy was to put such pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government rep-

resentatives thought this would give government the opportunity to gain political support for imposing legislation on the union.”

Nothing else in the lengthy ruling, other than a suggestion that cabinet documents back up this assertion, offers any proof.

The class size and composition provisions were inserted in a contract imposed by the former NDP government on school boards. They had resisted, fearing that the rigid guidelines would make it very difficult to properly staff classrooms. In

s 5 p p fact, what happened is that class- f

rooms which were one student over the limit were sometimes split in two, or the extra student was transported to another school.

There is no doubt that if classes are too large, it has an impact on how students learn. And the number of special needs students in a classroom must be at a manageable level.

But hard and fast limits, imposed by a judge, will be costly to taxpayers, and have limited benefit for students.

Focus on eating disorders helps separate fact from myth

Tristaca Curley

CONTRIBUTOR

The first week of February is Eating Disorder Awareness Week, an internationally recognized week devoted to increasing awareness of disordered eating and weight preoccupation.

When people hear the term ‘eating disorder,’ many picture an emaciated individual, often a female in her adolescent years. While this certainly may be true for some individuals, disordered eating affects both males and females of all ages.

You can’t tell someone has an eating disorder just by looking at them. It might be your middle-aged neigh-

bour whose children just left home; it may be your running coach who is always preaching about health; it may be your teenage son who would give anything to make the hockey team.

An eating disorder is only one type of food or weight preoccupation. According to the National Eating Disorder Information Centre (www. nedic.ca), disordered eating includes a wide range of abnormal eating, from the behaviours seen in eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, to chronic restrictive eating, compulsive eating and habitual dieting.

It is characterized by rigid or chaotic eating patterns where physical hunger and satiety (fullness) are ignored. Sadly, disordered eating and

weight obsession flourish in Canada.

Here are some Canadian stats from NEDIC: Eating disorders are the third most prevalent chronic disease in adolescent girls; 1/3 of girls between the ages of 14 and15 have tried to lose weight and those who diet at that age are 18 times more likely to develop an eating disorder; even among those at a healthy weight, 50 per cent of adolescent girls are dieting because they believe they are overweight; and four per cent of boys aged 14-15 have used anabolic steroids to change their bodies.

When we focus too much on our bodies or on our eating, other areas of our life begin to take a backseat, whether it be work, school, family or

friends, Our emotional and physical health decline.

As a dietitian, my goal with clients is a balanced approach to health.

I want them to choose foods that fuel their bodies while finding ways of moving that they enjoy, but I also want them to be able to eat a slice of pizza or cheesecake without guilt.

When working with an individual with disordered eating, the approach isn’t simply prescribing a meal plan that meets their nutritional needs.

The focus is also on tuning into hunger and fullness cues and letting go of some of the rigidity around eating and exercise. Equally important is education and myth-busting around the body’s physiological response to

food deprivation and dieting.

If you suspect that you or someone you know is suffering from disordered eating, seek help from a professional, such as a teacher, doctor, dietitian or counsellor. You may also be interested in attending an Expert Panel Discussion hosted by UBC Okanagan on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2 p.m., in the ASC building, room130.

Several local health professionals and academics specializing in disordered eating will share their experiences and answer your questions.

For more information about this panel, please email tristaca@fuelingwithfood.com.

Here’s one who hates parking rate increases

To the editor: Re: City Parking Fees Will Go Up, Jan. 28 Capital News.

As of June 1 the onstreet rates will go from 50 cents per hour to $1.25 per hour and off-street parking could go to $5.25 from $3 per day.

Pretty hefty rate increase I’d say, but God bless councillor Maxine DeHart.

She’s all for it because many tourists and people who moved here from elsewhere have mentioned how cheap the parking rates are here

compared to where they came from.

So we can blame these folks for the increase.

In local media, DeHart also states she spoke with ‘a number’ of people and had no negative feedback.

How many is ‘a number’ of people?

Well let me be the first to give negative feedback.

My wife and I rarely go downtown, the ugly light standards, the parking spaces that make it look as if the cars are parked on the sidewalk and, in one store close to city park, $300 pairs of

jeans and $150 T-shirts were the reasons why.

Now with these outrageous parking rates it will be a lot less often.

We will spend our money down on Pandosy or at the mall.

▼ DOG BYLAW

Bylaws should get warrants to enter property To the editor: I read in the Kelowna Capital News (Jan. 23) a letter by Helen Schiele of Kelowna regarding this new Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw.

While it sounds good, she mentioned something in there that quite terrified me—dog bylaw officers entering your property (and possibly homes) to ensure this bylaw is being upheld—without a warrant.

This should be illegal.

Under no circum-

stance should any officer, be it from the RCMP or the city, be allowed to enter someone’s home or property without a legal, bonafide warrant. If the officer obtains one (a warrant) due to multiple complaints from neighbours, then, and only then, would he or she be allowed to investigate someone’s home due to breach of bylaw.

If a dog is aggressive, vicious or in any way dangerous, that should only be determined if there are complaints from neigh-

bours and a warrant is obtained to investigate. This should not be done on a random basis just because a bylaw officer wants to check and see if this bylaw is being upheld. This would be considered a complete invasion of privacy and goes against the Privacy Act of B.C. (http://bccla.org/ privacy-handbook/mainmenu/privacy2contents/ privacy2-11/).

A search warrant is required to do any kind of investigating within

someone’s home. It states so in Section 8 of the CBA BC: (http://www.cbabc. org/For-the-Public/Dial-A-Law/Scripts/YourRights/200.aspx) before you can search you must have a warrant and a reason for your search.

If city council wants to uphold the provincial law, then I highly recommend that they re-examine this new bylaw before passing it. I know that I would not feel comfortable in my own home knowing that there could

be someone from bylaw prowling through my home and property without legitimate reason to do so just to see if I am “abiding by the bylaw.” I would feel as though I’m being stalked and scrutinized and that is not how I would hope to be made to feel—especially by someone that you’re supposed to be able to trust (legal officers).

Greta Fader, Kelowna

Dog bylaw powers go beyond what’s sensible To the editor: There are some clauses in the proposed bylaw that should be of great concern to all citizens—not just dog guardians. Please note these are changes Regional District of the Central Okanagan has not publicized.

1. Right of inspection—a dog officer can enter any premises at any reasonable time to determine if the bylaw is being obeyed. Any person in violation of any part of this bylaw will have to immediately provide owner’s photo ID and dog licensing information, and are subject to a minimum $50 fine.

2. Upon death of, or

sale, or transfer of any dog to a new owner, a dog officer must be notified. See #1 3. All owners must clean up excrement in their own yard in a timely manner. See #1.

4. Leashes must now be six foot maximum. See #1 5. Any dog can be declared a nuisance dog if three tickets are issued within 12 months. The tickets do not have to be proven—just issued.

6. Emotional trauma can now be a reason to seize any dog.

It has been shown in court that there was little to no training of dog officers, RCMP investigation findings were ignored, no

investigation was done on complaints, and a reward system was in place.

Now dog officers are being given power equal to a psychiatrist? This is outrageous, completely irresponsible and even dangerous.

7. Any dog can be seized for biting. No allowance is given for provocation.

Let us take two examples. First: Your dog is being attacked by another dog. Your dog avoids the attack and then defends itself. In the process your dog bites the other dog.

Second: Your dog is being kicked and beaten with a two by four. Your dog defends itself by biting.

Under this proposed by-

Clean up the local eyesores To the editor: I feel that we live in one of the most beautiful and scenic area spots in the entire world.

But, how can there not be any shame from both the City of Kelowna and District of West Kelowna in letting many eyesores still stand?

I really feel that structures left to stand such as the Bluffs, the very vacant McDonalds when first arriving into (the west gate of) Kelowna, the Cattle Country and strip mall just leaving (west gate of) West Kelowna and the graffiti-ridden, weed-in-

fested and boarded up former low income housing site next to the Triple O’s on Harvey, you know the one. Horrible looking.

This is to name just a few places as there are many more horrible eye sores we have to look at daily and for years now.

For once listen up City of Kelowna and District of West Kelowna, and take the time to get rid of such structures. Invest in a bulldozer and a worker and spend a few days to let our area be more of a scenic gem than an eye sore because of laziness and total lack of care and

giving a you know what.

Take pride in the entire city and our broad area and not just Bernard Avenue, for example.

Or step down and let someone else in who gives a you know what, please, for the love of it.

Nol Preen, Kelowna Editor’s note: Private property is just that—private. A local government cannot enter a property and bulldoze structures because it’s not occupied or unsightly.

law, and the current provincial law, there is no consideration given to the circumstances. Your dog is seized simply for biting. This is unfair and irresponsible.

8. Any dog seized for any reason will be held for a minimum of 72 hours, at the owner’s expense.

There is no mention of medical aid—just food, water and shelter, (in a cage).

There are more items of concern so please read the bylaw entirely.

The RDCO says they are trying to promote responsible ownership.

Why then are there no provisions or rewards for an owner who takes steps to remedy any problems with their dog or themselves? There must be some incentives and time limits to any designation

to reward a dog guardian’s efforts to improve.

It is long overdue that the public must demand the same responsibility from the RDCO that they are demanding from the public. This is a poorly written, unfair and irresponsible bylaw that should be completely rewritten. Unfortunately the RDCO has not indicated that there will be any changes to this proposed bylaw. This, in itself, is completely irresponsible and must not be allowed to happen.

The open house was Jan. 29 and the online questionnaire is at regionaldistrict.com/dogs. The RDCO phone number is 250-763-4918. Make your opinion known and heard.

Courts addressing impact of child porn T he words “child pornography” trigger mixed feelings of revulsion, sadness and rage deep in my chest.

My feelings, of course, are widely shared.

The rage is against anyone who sexually abuses the most innocent and vulnerable among us; revulsion is at the thought that anyone could derive sexual pleasure from seeing images of that abuse, sadness is for the victims.

Paul Hergott Child pornography is a runaway train. One estimate is that there are over one million pornographic images of children on the Internet, with about 200 new images being added every day.

We hear about criminal prosecutions of those caught accessing or possessing child pornography. It is the more prominent offenders who make the most of a news splash, their careers destroyed because they couldn’t resist indulging the sexual perversion they would undoubtedly give anything to be rid of.

But those are only the tip of the iceberg. For every conviction, how many thousands of men are not being caught?

I have risked scorn among my friends for suggesting that those who access child pornography might be victims themselves.

It has seemed harsh to me that lives and careers are ruined by an offence that might seem to be victimless.

quite reasonably think that the law can work unfairly—i.e. requiring one of thousands of men who viewed an image, who had no part in creating it or circulating it, to pay the full losses of an abused victim.

The interesting answer to that problem is that fellow’s legal right to track down and claim reimbursement from all the other viewers, and the initial abusers themselves.

Yes, individual lawsuits against all of those who should share in the restitution is an impossible fantasy.

But put the shoe on the other foot, though. It is no less an impossible fantasy to expect the abused victim to go after all those abusers individually.

Who should be faced with the impossible fantasy, the abused victim or one of the multitude of perpetrators?

Finally, victims of child sexual abuse and exploitation are seeing a window of compensation for the destruction to their childhoods and lives.

I salute those law makers who made this possible, and the lawyers who have done the pioneering work to bring about this justice.

if they are brought to justice at all, are seldom able to pay financial compensation for the destruction they have caused.

Among the thousands convicted of viewing the images, however, there is bound to be a high level executive or two with deep pockets.

In the US, prosecutors must identify the abused children in order to succeed in a prosecution.

You cannot be convicted on the basis of digitally generated images; it must be proven that you are accessing/ possessing the images of real children.

There are laws that allow prosecutors to ask the sentencing court not only to punish a criminal, but also to require the criminal to pay restitution to the victim of a crime.

Those laws have been interpreted to allow restitution not just for the harm caused by that particular criminal, i.e. the person caught viewing the images, but also for all the harms arising from the abuse.

That restitution law has been used to force one wealthy fellow to pay one victim whose image he was caught accessing several million dollars, although the case is under appeal.

By clicks of a mouse, they are accessing, in what they hoped would be the privacy of their homes, images that are already “out there”.

There is, of course, the obvious argument that accessing the material feeds the market that drives production, leading to more and more abused children.

There is another factor that I had not considered, which came up in a CBC radio program earlier this month—the impact on those abused children whose images continue to be circulated again and again and again.

Putting my mind to it, I wonder how I could not have considered the revictimization that must be felt by those now-grownup victims of child sexual abuse, knowing that the horrible images of their abuse continue to be circulated for the sexual gratification of viewers.

There is a silver lining to this horrible story. Pioneering United States lawyers are gaining traction in getting financial compensation for these adult victims whose lives were so often ruined by the abuse that occurred when they were children and who continue to be victimized by recirculated images.

Placing an evaluation focus on managers

P

erformance reviews are generally described as management tools used to assess how well employees are doing in their jobs.

Typically expectations and specific goals have been set and agreed upon in advance and the performance review process is an opportunity to assess how well those have been achieved.

Performance benchmarks help managing supervisors to identify where an employee is doing well and also where he/she might need improvement. The intention is to support positive change.

Interestingly, the practice of reviewing performance is most often focused on managers evaluating their employees, and rarely the other way around. It’s an interesting issue that raises the question of who has power and influence in the work-

WORK LIFE

Laurie Mills place.

For instance, if a manager observes that a particular employee is a problem in the workplace they will likely document that employee’s behavioural and/or performance issues. Depending on the degree of trust and respect in their relationship, employees will feel threatened by that, or they may feel sincerely supported in their efforts to improve.

Turning that process around, what recourse do employees have if something in their manager’s performance is a problem?

What role can they play in helping them to

improve “as a manager”?

Some organizations use 360 degree feedback processes to gather input from employees about the performance of their direct supervisor.

For those unfamiliar with 360 degree feedback tools, they are assessments designed to gather full circle input about a manager’s performance —combining evaluations from his/her direct supervisor, peers and also employees who report directly to him/her.

When used as intended, the 360 degree feedback process encourages employees to share their honest perspectives on their manager’s effectiveness. That still doesn’t mean the employees have the power to influence a change in their manager’s behaviour but it’s a step in the right direction.

Let’s face it, not all managers are gems.

Many of them have no

idea what their employees think of them or if they do, they just may not care.

And, if there are no consequences for their poor performance, why would they? This kind of dynamic leaves employees feeling frustrated and lose motivation; if the situation is bad enough they will leave.

We’ve heard many times that people quit their managers not their jobs. Losing talent this way is not good.

Ensuring that managers are skilled and com-

petent in their roles is an organizational responsibility.

A key strategy is to build a workplace culture where employee feedback is encouraged and valued as a way to hold managers accountable for their performance.

The YMCA of Okanagan’s Coach Approach program, offered free with membership, is much more than just a fitness plan. Members who have completed the Coach Approach program, in addition to having established lifetime habits for physical fitness, often come away having a stronger social network and a community supporting them every step of the way.

For one member, Coach Approach was the start of her new life.

“When I first started my membership at Kelowna Family YMCA, I was overweight and miserable. My family was going through a tough time and my mom had just

passed away from cancer the month before,” said Teresa Hiob, a Y member and past Coach Approach participant.

“I walked into the Y with a mixed bag of trepidation and shame. I realized later that although I came here to lose weight, what I discovered in the process was so much more. I never realized how big of a stress buster physical activity and being a part of a community could be, and though my problems were still there, I was better able to cope.”

▼ BRENT BUTT

Multi-talents shine through Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Brent Butt may be known as a guy-nextdoor type—circa his hit show Corner Gas—but he would rather not do standup comedy in front of 11 year olds.

“I usually work clean anyway, but it just makes you (think) that’s your only option or you can’t say certain words even if the F-word is the perfect word,” he said in an interview to preview his mid-February show at the Kelowna Community Theatre.

Ironically, he actually does say the term “F-word” to reference the curse. Whether he likes it or not, Butt’s affable and, yes, polite prairie-boy nature has made him a standout among comics and his persona proves reliable in an interview as he overruns the clock to answer extra questions.

Great comedy is about diligence and plain old fashioned hard work, as he explains it, and growing up as the youngest of seven children, he’s had plenty of practise.

“I just like to see funny, original ideas and whether that’s a broad gag

or a subtle jab, whether it’s clean or horrendously filthy, as long as it’s something that I haven’t seen before, I like it,” he said.

To perfect his own timing, he’s prone to showing up unannounced to run a few jokes at comedy clubs that will give him the time on stage.

He may be charging $45-a-head for this tour, but catching him free isn’t unheard of either. The only way to ensure material sings is to work out the kinks in front of a live audience, as Butt sees it, so he regularly jumps on stage for a few minutes.

“I record it on my phone and then I’ll play it back and say that was too long an intro or too wordy—that’s the craftsmanship,” he said.

With a mind that’s used to pushing boundaries, it’s probably not surprising television and standup are not where his aspirations end. While he insists notoriety only buys him a few minutes grace in a comedy club, saying it’s otherwise the same experience it was when he got started 25 years ago, it does afford new opportunities.

This is his Almost a Movie Star Tour and he’s

Brent Butt going coast to coast in the longest string of dates he’s done since the first season of Corner Gas to promote one of those opportunities.

While at the World Television Festival in Banff six years ago to receive the Sir Peter Ustinov Award for his television work—Corner Gas had just wrapped its sixth and final season—it was announced he had signed with Brightlight Pictures to do a movie.

The company is an independent filmmaker and,

as he puts it on a short plea posted on his website, the film will need support right out of the gate to avoid being scuttled by “some big Hollywood ‘White House Down,’ some guy in the sweaty shirt.”

Whether it’s scuttled or becomes the next Ace Ventura, the movie will, at the very least, mark a significant rung on the ladder of his career. And he’s angling for more.

Asked what he’d like to tackle next, he noted that he’s currently obsessed with theatre.

“Good live theatre is just such an amazing thing when it’s done well,” he said. “You’re sitting in the same room with these actors. The staging, the writing, the performances can all literally fool your brain into thinking you’re on the moon.”

And then there’s the book he would like to write. He’s thinking fiction and likely another detective tale—but that’s a story for another day.

Brent Butt plays the Kelowna Community Theatre Feb. 19. Tickets are available through Ticket Master. His movie hits theatres this March. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

This Frankenstein should be avoided I. FRANKENSTEIN Remember the old Frankenstein movies?

Frankenstein looked like the Incredible Hulk with a bad sewing job. Well, in this version, Frankenstein looks like the incredible hunk and it’s a whole new ballgame.

Too bad it’s such an awful movie.

After you’ve seen a

were the good guys) “ascend” in a spire of light, you’ve just about exhausted any reason for staying in the theatre.

The special effects are OK, but how much fun is it to watch the same scene over and over again?

Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein at the age of 18, in an era when huge strides were being made in the discovery of

electricity and scientists everywhere were experimenting with electricity, brains and bodies and this gruesome tale came out of that time and has survived and has been made into movies by studios for years.

Dark, light movie outings

L

abor Day is the fifth directorial outing from Jason Reitman. The son of Canadian director Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters, Stripes), Jason’s previous four efforts, Thank You for Smoking, Juno, Up in the Air and Young Adult have been successes, both critically and commercially.

Based on the novel of the same name, Labor Day tells the story of 13-year-old Henry Wheeler who struggles to help care for his reclusive mother (Kate Winslet) while confronting the pangs of adolescence.

While on a shopping trip with his mother, they encounter an intimidating man in need of help (Josh Brolin) who convinces them to help him by taking him into their home. Although the man turns out to be an escaped convict, the boy and his mother develop a relationship with him which shapes them for the rest of

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis their lives.

Unlike his previous efforts, Reitman did not get his usual Academy Award nominations, but Winslet has won praise for her performance as well as receiving a Golden Globe nomination.

Even though he has had acclaimed starring roles in dramas like Me and Orson Welles, Charlie St. Cloud and The Lucky One, Zac Efron is still trying to distance himself from his most famous role in the High School Musical. To do so, his next two movies are crude comedies.

The first is coming out this weekend and is called That Awkward Moment in what could be a roman-

tic comedy that appeals to men as much as to women (maybe it can be called a roMANtic comedy). After their friend Mikey’s (Michael B. Jordan) break-up, Jason (Efron) and Daniel (Miles Teller) promise to stay single with him. However, they both end up falling in love and have to avoid facing their promise.

Expect some outlandish and “awkward” moments as the two friends try to develop their respective relationships while trying to hide them from the third.

The script has been bounced around for a number of years and in 2010 it was considered one of the best un-produced screenplays in Hollywood.

Efron’s next comedy is Neighbors, alongside Seth Rogen.

A plot synopsis of the play: George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s Pulitzer Prize winning comedy, You Can’t Take It with You, premiered at the Booth Theater on December 14, 1936, and had a respectable run of 838 performances. It has since enjoyed several successful Broadway revivals and was the basis for the 1938 Academy Award winning film directed by Frank Capra. Life is pleasantly daft at the roomy uptown New York City home of Grandpa Vanderhof, a lifely little man of 75 who, for the last 35 years, has been determinedly “relaxing” and having fun--collecting snakes and attending commencement exercises. He has a small income from a rented house and an interesting family who, like Grandpa, do just as they please. For information call Bonny @ 250 766 3054 or Darby @ 250 878 5648

Known for dizzying music jams, poly-rhythms and revved up riffs, the Sultans of String sound can’t be pinned down -- it’s Sable Island meets the Silk Road, with detours through the Gypsy-Jazz coffeehouses of Eastern Europe, next an East Coast Kitchen Party, then over to the majestic Arctic and bustling markets of Lebanon.

Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenca guitar while funky bass lays down unstoppable grooves. Throughout, acoustic mastery meets with a symphony of sound, deepened by world rhythms that inspire whole audiences to get up and dance.

There are better films coming Steen from A13 plays a bit of a love interest (date night will be fun), Bill Nighy is the evil Naberius, head of the demon army and bent on the destruction of the human race—isn’t every protagonist who ever lived? Miranda Otto of Lord of the Rings is Lenore, Queen of the Gargoyles.

So with Pompeii, August: Osage County (a must see if you think your family is a little weird), 300, the Rise of an Empire and so many others hitting the theatres soon, I say don’t waste your valuable time and money on this one, unless you want an hour and a half of soul-sucking boredom.

I give I. Frankenstein one reel, plus one more reel for the flying gargoyles (made of stone but still manage to fly effortlessly) possibly a bigger feat than creating a man out of several body parts and some lightening.

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection January 2014

MBSS dance program lives for the “applause”

By Cameron Waller On January 22, the Mount Boucherie Secondary Dance Program dazzled two lively audiences with an incredible show that displayed the best of the school’s dancing talents. Organized and choreographed by Mount Boucherie’s Dance teacher, Mrs. Geistlinger, Applause brought together students ranging from grades ten to 12 and from all levels of dance abilities. The stands for both showings were packed to capacity with excited crowds of parents, teachers, and students, all who came out to show support for the dancers.

From the moment the bright stage lights dimmed for the first dancers to take their mark and until the final bow was taken, the audiences were left in a constant state of entertainment.

Throughout the entire 40 minute show, the dancers performed routines that incorporated moves and styles from hip hop to contemporary to ballet and beyond. The first number, which was performed to the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army,” had the audience tapping their toes and marveling at the remarkable choreography. Having set the bar of expectation high with their first dance number, the students continued to impress throughout the show by attempting intricate and challenging moves. After every song, such as the emotional “Wide Awake” by Glee Cast and the

upbeat remix of Lorde’s “Royals,” the audience was left cheering and hollering with delight at the extraordinary talent. The highlight of the night came from the second-to-last performance of Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop” in which the dancers dressed in comedic costumes and parodied the popular song’s music video.

Every dancer from the show came on stage to collaborate for the final dance number to the pop anthem “Applause” by Lady Gaga.

The shows were an impressive undertaking and were executed with astounding talent and care. Students who danced in the shows were left beaming knowing that their semester of hard work had finally paid off. Haley Sundberg, a dedicated grade 12 member of the dance program, was also left feeling ecstatic with the outcome of the shows. “We dancers put our best effort into it,” said Sundberg. “So far it has been a great year of dance and I am really excited for next semester so that I can continue to grow as a dancer.” Sundberg continues on to give credit to her teacher, Mrs. Geistlinger, for her work in creating the shows. Geistlinger, who has spent months developing the choreography and preparing the dancers, was left delighted with her student’s success in the shows. “I’m really proud of my dancers,” Geistlinger reflects, “They truly did an incredible job. They have worked so

hard and they deserve all the love that they are getting tonight.”

Having to operate with a limited budget, the dance program receives a majority of its income from the profits of the night.

Applause was a reminder of the power that an artistic class can have. The talent exhibited by the students, most of whom having never danced prior to taking the school-funded course, was extraordinary. Many hours of time and effort were dedicated to ensuring that the annual shows would be a success, and it showed in the dancers’ passion while performing.

Courses, such as Dance, are vital for our schools to have because it allows the students to express themselves. Dance gives its participants the freedom to be who they want to be and pushes them to strive to new heights and exceed their own expectations. It pushes the students to challenge themselves and instills determination within them. It was evident in the performances of this semester’s shows that dance is more than a hobby for the students. For many, the dance shows are proof that they are capable of doing incredible things when they set their minds to it.

Congratulations, MBSS Dance students, on your wonderful performances; you should all be proud of your achievements.

Thank you, Mrs. Geistlinger, for your tireless dedication to the program and for being an inspiration to all of your students.

Five religions in five hours

By Kassidie Cornell If there’s one class I believe every student should take at some point in their schooling career, it’s social justice.

I’m already halfway through my final year of high school and it’s sad to see that my social justice class has come to an end. What an amazing semester it has been. I never would have imagined that I’d get the opportunity to experience such an innovative class. The last field trip we were fortunate enough to go on was a religion tour through Kelowna.

We made stops at the Westbank Anglican Church, Kelowna Buddhist Temple, The Sikh Temple, the Jewish Synagogue and the Kelowna Baptist church.

Prior to the trip we were given an assignment to evaluate our personal religions. I enjoyed the assignment because there were no wrong or right answers and it allowed us to explore our beliefs. Each and every church was amazing to attend because they welcomed us with open arms. My entire class and I made sure that we asked several questions at each place

of worship in order to get a full understanding of each religion.

At the Anglican Church it was interesting to hear how the Anglicans (descendants from England) made their way to Westbank. The minister from this church told us such compelling and moving stories about the Anglican religion. The Buddhist Temple absolutely blew me away and I think I can speak for my entire class when I say that we found the monk’s voice very soothing and his speech to us very captivating.

As for the Sikh Temple, that was

just a whole new experience altogether. My entire class got to wear head coverings as a sign of respect for the religion. We were fortunate enough to be served lunch. We ate chick peas, curry, and so much delicious food. The Jewish Synagogue was the one religion I learned most about. I had little background before our visit, but after I felt quite informed. The final stop on our tour was the First Baptist church. It was a beautiful church. The pastor was extremely knowledgeable.

I couldn’t have asked for a better

way to end the semester. In order to make a change in the world you must be aware of your surroundings. This becomes even more important when people go off traveling because you don’t ever want to offend another culture. I’m proud to say that my class was full of young adults who are ready to take on the real world in order to make a change. My entire class has our incredible teacher, Mrs. Kehler, to thank for teaching us so much and for providing us with opportunities that will be sure to last a lifetime.

Wheaton stands tall on Rockets’ blueline: A WHL player to watch Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

In the fall of 2012, at just 17, Mitch Wheaton and his family were at a crossroads.

Should the Sherwood Park, Alta. native remain in junior A hockey in Spruce Grove, to allow him to pursue an education and hockey career south of the border? Or would the towering defenceman be better served by playing in the Western Hockey League?

Suffice it to say, the Kelowna Rockets are thrilled that Wheaton decided on the latter option.

Now into his second season of major junior hockey, the 6-foot5, 215-pound Wheaton has emerged as one the WHL’s most promising, big-bodied blueliners.

After careful consideration, Wheaton says assistant coach Dan Lambert’s thorough marketing job, and the team’s proclivity for producing elite pro defenceman were the main motives for choosing Kelowna.

“I had a couple of offers from schools to think over that summer, so it was a tough decision,” said Wheaton, 18, a 10thround pick of the Rockets in the 2010 bantam draft.”

“What it came down to was Dan Lambert really convinced me to come here, he really sold the program to me. I think what also sold me was the history of d-men they’ve had in Kelowna, and how they’ve been able to develop bigger d-men like myself and move them on to pro. That really caught

my eye at the end of the day.”

Playing big minutes and in all situations, Wheaton had compiled four goals, 20 points and a +18 rating in 30 games with the Rockets this season.

Lambert said Wheaton’s vision and understanding for the game is a cut above most big men who play his position.

“There’s no doubt when you watch Mitch play, you see how much game sense he has,” said Lambert.

“Typically guys of his size are more physical that play a big, more brutal game. Mitch does have some of that but certainly his biggest asset is his vision of the game and his ability to break pucks out of our end. That fits really well into how we try to play here, so he’s certainly an asset and a guy that plays a lot of key minutes for us.”

While missinvg two months last season due to a shoulder injury and subsequent surgery slowed Wheaton’s development somewhat, the Detroit Red Wings still thought enough of him to select the rangy rearguard in the fifth round of the 2013 NHL entry draft.

There are a couple of areas that both the Red Wings and Rockets would like Wheaton to work on, including increasing his foot speed and perhaps adding a little more edge and meanness to his game.

With hard work, and both physical and mental maturity, Lambert expects Wheaton to simply get better and better.

MARISSA BAECKER/CONTRIBUTOR

MITCHELL Wheaton was a 10th round pick of the Kelowna Rockets in the 2010 WHL bantam draft.

“There are a lot of skills that he already has, but he’s still developing, so at the end of the day, if he keeps growing and keeps putting in the work, then the sky’s the limit,” Lambert said.

And if you ask Wheaton, there is no better place to hone those skills than with the one of the Western Hockey League’s most decorated franchises.

“It’s an honour to be playing for the Kelowna Rockets,” said Wheaton, who turns 19 on Feb. 6.

“Even growing up, hearing about this team and the people that played for them, you knew it would be a great place to play.

To have been a part of it now in my second year, I can’t be happier with my decision and the way it’s worked out.”

Wheaton and the Rockets will play a homeand-home set this weekend against the last-place Kamloops Blazers—Friday at the Interior Savings Centre, and Saturday at Prospera Place. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Heat host Winnipeg on hardwood Friday With the Canada West basketball season winding down and both UBC Okanagan teams out of the playoff hunt, the Heat men and women will look to put positive spins on their last six games of the 2013-14 campaign.

This weekend, UBCO returns to its home court with the Winnipeg Wesmen visiting Friday, and the Manitoba Bisons here on Saturday.

The games tip off at 6 and 8 p.m. on Friday, and 5 and 7 p.m. Saturday at the campus gym.

The Heat (3-13) men are coming off a pair of losses at the hands of the Fraser Valley Cascades last weekend.

On Friday in Abbotsford, UBCO held a twopoint lead after three quarters but watched the Cascades explode for 24 fourth-quarter points and a 69-55 win.

Mitch Goodwin put up a team-high 14 points for the Heat, while Yassine Ghomari had nine points and six assists before fouling out.

On Saturday, UFV turned 11 Heat turnovers into 25 points en route to a 79-32 win.

“We weren’t so freaked out on offense. I’m really proud of the girls.”

Para-snowboarders to Sochi following BW

Big White was the site of dreams being realized ,for three Canadian athletes.

Based partly on their performances at a qualifying competition last weekend at Big White, John Leslie Tyler Mosher and Ian Lockey have been named to the national para-snowboarding for the 2014 Paralympic Games in Russia.

Big White has served this season as the official training centre of the Canadian para-snowboard team.

In Sochi, Mosher (Whistler), Lockey (Trail) and Leslie (Arnprior, Ont.) will be part of history as the sport para-snowboarding .of makes its Games debut.

Leslie reached the podium at Big White on Sunday, finishing third behind a pair of American riders.

“It felt unreal to come home and get a bronze medal at home,’’ said Leslie who has worn a prosthetic leg since being treated for cancer at age 10. “It was great to see everyone

riding at the best of their abilities. The crew at Big White really stepped it up from the course staff to the admin. They all came together and put on a great event for us.’’

“We’ve got a mix of older veterans who are bringing a wealth of experience to the team and a younger athlete as well, who brings great youthful enthusiasm,” said head coach of the Canadian para-snowboard team, Candice Drouin. “We are really looking forward to going back to Sochi. We had a great test event there last season. Our athletes are excited to showcase the sport and their skills to the world and it’s a great opportunity for para-athletes to build awareness so more people with a disability can learn about taking part in our sport.”

Michael Shea and Evan Cross of the U.S. were 1-2 in Sunday’s snowboard cross clocking 2:28.92 and 2:30.23. The two best times of three runs determined the final time. Leslie followed in 2:33.74 for his second

Cotton BCHL player of the week The West Kelowna Warriors have been getting plenty of mileage out of Jason Cotton since his arrival from the Tri-City Storm (Nebraska) of the U.S. Hockey League early this season.

In addition to leading the team in scoring, the Plano, Texas native has been named the BCHL’s player of the week for the period ending Jan. 26.

Cotton led the Warriors to an undefeated road trip (2-0-1), and piled up seven points in the three games. Cotton had the double-overtime winner as part of a two-point night in a 5-4 win over Victoria, then added one goal in a victory in Alberni Valley Saturday. He wrapped up the trip with a four-point game that included two assists in the

final minute of a 7-7 draw Sunday in Chilliwack.

Cotton already has been named the BCHL Player of the Month, and Warriors Player of the Month this season in October 2013.

He also was named the third Star for the entire CJHL in October.

Cotton leads the Warriors in scoring with 21 goals and 29 assists in 40

games.

Cotton was recently ranked 118th overall in the mid-season NHL draft rankings.

The 6-foot-2, 180 pound forward and his Warriors’ teammates return to action Friday when they visit the Merritt Centennials.

The next home action is Saturday against Vernon.

Week 14 • Harvey & Associates (Ken Harvey) vs Radian Mechanical (Ryan Gatti): Team Harvey (3-10) came out strong with a deuce in the first and fourth ends to take the early 4-2 lead but Radian Mechanical (7-6) came back with a steal in the sixth end and closed things off with a deuce in the eighth end to squeak out a 6-5 victory.

• Paramount Music (Gary Lipsett) vs Sunset Ranch (Sean Matheson): An old fashion battle saw the score 3-1 after six ends when Sunset

Ranch (10-3) make their deuce to tie the game up going into the final end. A wide open eighth end saw Sunset Ranch’s final draw squeak threw a port leaving Paramount Music (67) little hope and when the draw came up short, Sunset Ranch posted the 4-3 win.

• Stolairus Aviation (Dave Mellof) vs Springfield Autobody (Justin Nillson): After swapping deuces in the first 2 ends, Springfield Autobody (85) made everything in the third end and had an easy draw for a four ender and

the 6-2 lead. Once again, Stolairus Aviation (10-3) was down early but not out and came back with three in the fourth end and then rattled off four consecutive steals for six points and the 11-6 victory.

• MNP (Gary Brucker) vs Ashley Furniture (Garry Gelowitz): A well played game saw Ashley Furniture (103) with a 3-2 lead after five ends and when they stole a single in the sixth end MNP (4-9) were not able to generate any major offense and ended up losing 5-3.

Time to think about gardening

I

’ve been asked to do a series of garden lectures/workshops at Bylands Garden Centre this year and I am delighted to do so.

By next week, we should have the schedule made up to include topics such as starting seeds and cuttings at home, grafting and budding in the home garden, pest and dis-

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett ease management for the home gardener and home garden pruning.

I will keep you posted on this and Bylands will have it on their website as well.

I will also be working with the Master Gardeners program this fall teaching the woody ornamental portion of the curriculum.

Becoming a master gardener is definitely something anyone who has a real passion for gardening should consider.

That certification takes your gardening experience to another level.

There are three orientation meeting dates set up for those interested in taking the course this year: • Saturday, March 22, 1 to 3 p.m.

• Saturday, March 29, 1 to 3 p.m.

• Saturday, April 5, 1 to 3 p.m.

One of these sessions will give participants an idea if the Master Gardener certification is something he or she wishes to pursue. Just contact Sue Matovich at okanaganmastergardenerscourse@ gmail.com.

••• I would like to thank the organizers of the celebrations at Central School on Saturday, Jan. 11.

What a blast I had wandering through the halls of a school I attended over 50 years ago.

I especially enjoyed running into Rick and Dianne Kelly.

Rick and I first met when we attended Central in Grade 4 with Mrs. Sinclair. And guess where we bumped into each other—that same classroom.

It doesn’t matter if you attended the school or not, the heritage classroom set up for visiting is open five days a week and I recom-

mend you check it out.

Set up like a one room school house, it has all the books, desks, black

boards, and other paraphernalia such as the infamous “strap.”

Sig Ottenbreit is the

official curator of the schoolhouse display and he is doing a stellar job of it.

he SPCA Thrift Shop is a new business located at 3980 Casorso Rd. in Kelowna.

Owned and operated

by Greg Dahms, a former newspaper photographer in Salmon Arm, the grand opening for the thrift shop is Saturday, Feb. 1, 11 a.m. Partial proceeds from the business are donated to the SPCA, a new partnership concept for the Interior after being started successfully in the Lower Mainland.

Burton Marine Pile Driving has been in business since 1999 co-owned

by Colin Dunlop, Steven Burton and Kevin Hanson. The company has 11 employees. Burton Marine has just launched a second dock-building barge from the Sutherland Bay boat launch in Kelowna’s north end.

The four-piece sectional barge is headed for the CNR Wharf in Gellatly Bay and will be used for one of two major Okanagan Lake projects. In West Kelowna, Burton Marine is beginning the first phase of removing the old ferry dock

and rebuilding a new public use dock for West Kelowna residents. The new, deeper wharf will include diving platforms, a zip line and pedestrian walkways making it more resident friendly and less industrial. A second Burton Marine barge and crew will start construction on a new Safe Harbour breakwater in Okanagan Centre for the regional district. This new breakwater will provide emergency shelter for boaters if they find themselves on the lake caught in hazardous weather. This year, another large contract for the firm is the multi-million dollar Mabel Lake Marina. Past projects have included the Vernon Yacht Club, the new Fintry Fire Department boathouse, the public wharf and the piers at Bertram Regional Park and Kalamalka Lake, multiple forestry bridges in the Kootenays, and foundations for Waterscapes McDonald’s, Kal Tire and Walmart.

The District of West Kelowna has shortlisted four Westbank Centre locations as potential sites for its new Municipal Hall.

Mayor Doug Findlater made the announcement at the beginning of the district’s council meeting Tuesday night.

“Council has selected four proponents to proceed with the request for proposals stage in the development of West Kelowna Civic Centre Project in Westbank Centre,” said Findlater.

The four groups being asked to submit proposals include: Town Centre Partners Group (relating to 3656 Brown Road), New Town/Sturgess Group (relating to 3641 Elliott Road), Maple Reinders Group (relating to 3717 Elliott Road with secured purchase agreement for adjacent sites at 2495 Main Street and 3711 Elliott Road) and Total Concept Group (relat-

selected.

The next step in the process will begin in February, with the release of a conceptual design request for proposals to the shortlisted proponents.

The candidates will prepare detailed technical and financial proposals, which will be evaluated against a set of predetermined evaluation criteria.

Jones said project consultant Jonathan Huggett has been instrumental in determining that criteria.

She added there isn’t a specific cost associated with the project at this point in time, as the district is open to a variety of ideas of how the Municipal Hall/ Civic Centre can be built.

“It could be anything: Commercial or residential pieces to it. All we’re saying (is that) we’ve narrowed it down to these four groups,” said Jones.

“There are all kinds of different ways to see a municipal building built— we’re very open at this

point.”

The district has agreed to pay an honorarium of up to $25,000 to each of the unsuccessful candidates to offset the cost of preparing detailed proposals.

The District of West Kelowna currently operates offices out of 2760 Cameron Road.

Jones said district staff could potentially have a report with initial information back to council by June. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

Dreamlift holds same hope 20 years on Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Orange County Sheriff’s Department Capt. Bob Peterson was there when it started. And 20 years later, he still wants to help.

Peterson was one of the sheriff’s department officers who volunteered to escort children from B.C. with life-threatening illnesses around Disneyland during the first Wendy’s/ Sunshine Foundation Dreamlift.

On Wednesday, he, along with seven other members of the department, were in Kelowna helping with the annual fundraising day that raises

ing to 2528 Main Street).

The district launched a request for qualifications process in November 2013, which garnered nine submissions.

According to Kirsten Jones, communications supervisor with the district, the submissions were evaluated based on: Project team members, experience in design and construction, site location and financial capacity. A score was assigned, with the highest scoring proponents being

money for the Disneyland trips.

“It puts life in perspective,” said Peterson when asked why he and his fellow officers volunteer year after year to help kids from thousands of kilometres away in another country enjoy a day at Disneyland.

He said it’s a day they may not otherwise get to experience.

“These kids have been dealt a tough hand. It feels good to help,” said Peterson. He said when you accompany a child who cannot see or hear on a ride at Disneyland and who experiences it simply through sensation rather than sight and sound, and who comes

off the ride with a huge smile on his face and a simple one word description—“awesome”—you know why you volunteer year after year.

Peterson is just one of between 100 and 140 people associated with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department who work to make the Dreamlifts happen in southern California.

Marilyn MacDougall, an executive director with the department, has also been there from the beginning, now coordinating the effort south of the border.

Day. “All you need to see is smiles on the kids’ faces and you know why you are doing it,” she said.

Yesterday, the Wendy’s restaurants in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, Salmon Arm and Kamloops were packed as net proceeds from all food sold, as well as the donated wages of staff and managers went to the cause.

Last year, $115,000 was raised and organizers were hoping to top that figure this year. (The figure was not known as of press deadline. Check kelownacapnews.com for an update.)

Ken Park, owner of the nine Wendy’s franchises in

2014 gMc Sierra 4x4 • Double

• Appearance Package • Power Windows • Remote Keyless Entry • Locking Differential • Deep Tint Glass • Cargo Tie Down • Block Heater

the six communities, called Dreamlift Day a special day for him and his staff.

Having taken over the franchise prior to last year’s day, he said he was proud to carry on the tradition established by the previous owners in 1994.

As he looked at the snow falling outside the Harvey Avenue restaurant, he admitted while the weather could have been better he was still confident the public would come out in droves to support the cause.

My child needs fillings, does it matter if they are the “silver” or “white” fillings since they are only baby teeth?

There has been a lot of controversy in dentistry over recent years regarding the use of amalgam fillings containing mercury. The Canadian & American Dental Associations have continued to support their use, but there are more studies world-wide showing that amalgams are both harmful to the environment and ourselves.

- Recently the U. of Washington has done a study on children showing that there are genetic variants where a protein called metallothionein exists & binds heavy metals in the body increasing the risk of mercury toxicity with amalgam exposure.

- A recent study in Portugal showed children with neurobehavioural deficits who had amalgams placed as opposed to those who had composites. A recent European commission has recommended banning amalgams due to mercury environmental impacts.

(Sweden has already completely banned it, other countries are in the process of reduction.)

- Dental offices in Canada have to have special separators to prevent amalgam scraps from going into the environment but dentists can place it into your mouth!

- Dental composites & porcelain restorations have improved significantly & have proven to be excellent restorative materials if done technically correct...some facts to ponder…You & your family deserve it! For more information see www.drshaunapalmer.ca, our facebook page or contact us directly.

How do I get retirement income from my RRSP? You may use one or more of these options when maturing RRSP funds: 1) withdraw in cash 2) purchase a life annuity 3) purchase a fixed term annuity to age 90 4) transfer to a Registered Retirement Income Fund

All the above options are available at any age. However, failure to select to use RRSP funds for one or more of the options, by the end of the year in which you turn 71, results in the value of the RRSP being brought into your taxable income in the year following the year you turn 71.

Your selection of a retirement income option will depend on a number of factors which include your age, income needs, marital status, income tax position, and estate planning objectives. Getting proper advice at or near the time of retirement can make a significant difference in the amount of retirement income you will receive and the quality of life you will achieve.

Q A

Owner | Owner/President

I want a new kitchen and I have no idea where to begin, where do I start?

Great Question! (Cont’d from last week, the final Part, 3 of 3);

• A date of final completion is critical. (We offer a 2 week window from the date of delivery).

• A complete set of floor plans along with elevations including measurements which you should confirm, and don’t be afraid to ask questions about the plans. A good designer will be happy to answer any questions you have.

• Payment terms are crucial and should be clearly stated. If you have done your due diligence, you should feel comfortable with giving a deposit; our terms are 50% upon signing of our contract, 40% upon delivery/installation and 10% hold back for final completion. You should never be asked for more money from what was agreed upon in the contract, unless, you have added items, or changed your mind about what was agreed upon in your contract.

• All parties should sign the contract.

• The contract should include the company’s guarantee and/ or warranty.

• Ask for a copy of the company’s Work safe BC certificate and confirm with Work Safe BC as well as the company’s liability insurance (minimum 1 to 2 million coverage).

Q A

High blood pressure and Sodium?

One way to help control your blood pressure is limit your sodium intake.

Take note that I mentioned Sodium and not salt. Sodium is mainly found in salt but it is also available in other food additive such as MSG or monosodiumglutamate. Limit your sodium intake to 1,200 to 1,500mg per day. Most food labels will have the sodium content. But the easiest way to avoid sodium is to purchase food that doesn’t have a food label, such fresh fruits and vegetables, raw meat. Avoid processed foods and fast food take out as these products usually contain a lot of sodium. If you want more information, go to hypertension.ca or visit us at the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy!

West Kelowna’s MasterChef Canada contestant gives back Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Kaila Klassen is using her popularity from being a MasterChef Canada contestant to help locals in need.

Klassen volunteered her time at Kelowna’s Gospel Mission last Saturday, preparing and serving lunch to guests.

She plans to be back, doing the same thing, this Saturday.

“I think it’s really important when you have a platform to speak on, to make it memorable and make it important,” said Klassen.

“I contacted the Gospel Mission and said, ‘Would you guys mind if I came down and cooked for your guests?’

“There was such an overwhelming amount of support…it was an amazing feeling to help out.”

District names Advisory Committee on Health Care members The District of West Kelowna has announced the members named to its new Advisory Committee on Health Care.

Carl Archer, Ron Green, Elizabeth Harris, Carole Holmes and Irene Maier will be on the committee for a three-year term, ending December, 2016. Wayne Byron was named as an alternate.

A total of 17 applicants applied to be on the committee.

The Advisory Committee on Health Care will act to promote open communication and active working partnerships between the District of West Kelowna, Interior Health and residents.

The development of a health care committee is one of the recommendations in the Assessment of Medical Services in West Kelowna: Final Report, prepared last year.

The committee will provide advice and recommendations to the district.

The Re/Max real estate agent earned a spot among the top 16 home cooks during the second episode of MasterChef Canada’s inaugural season, which aired Monday, Jan. 27.

The contestants were challenged to cook any dish in one hour, using a chicken, pantry ingredients and only one pan.

Klassen cooked chicken madras with cucumber raita and roti.

“The dish was solely inspired by my boyfriend’s mother. Before I went on the show, she taught me everything she knows about Indian cooking.”

The MasterChef Canada judges called Klassen up individually after announcing her dish was one of several that they were on the fence about.

“I knew my dish was good, but the worst part

Thankfully I did.”

The West Kelowna home cook will now go up against her 15 opponents in various competitions—such as mystery box challenges—as more contestants get eliminated every week.

Those hoping to follow Klassen’s MasterChef Canada journey can tune in Sunday after the Super Bowl on CTV. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Dreamlift Day at Wendy’s has become a tradition Dreamlift from A1

since the mid-1990s.

With local civic, sports and media personalities, as well as police officers, firefighters and ambulance paramedics lending a hand behind the counter, and the line-up to buy food snaking through-

support the Dreamlift has become a tradition they will not miss.

“We’re here to support the kids,” said Margot, adding she and her husband have been going

out the restaurant, diners accepted the long wait for service with good humour.

“You meet people and get to talk to them,” said Leanne Basran, who was there with her two young children and her in-laws.

While the family ate, Leanne’s husband Colin, a Kelowna city councillor, donned an apron to help as a volunteer worker.

“It’s really become a fixture, a tradition,” said

Cathy Sarino a chapter volunteer coordinator with the Sunshine Foundation of Canada.

She said Dreamlift Day is a major fundraiser for the foundation

and while the organization makes dreams come true for children all year round, the money raised on Dreamlift Day goes exclusively toward the next Dreamlift.
