Home sweet home Kelowna’s Gospel Mission gets 100 homeless people housed over summer

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

It’s difficult to imagine Kevin Bond as the type of person who could burn all his bridges, only to be left penniless and homeless. He’s cleanly dressed, pleasant to speak with and is a functioning member of the Kelowna Gospel Mission’s volunteer team. But mental illness and addiction have had their way with Bond who, like so many other former clients, found himself reliant on the Mission. He used the Gospel Mission on-and-off for what he characterized as “100 days of hell.” “Nobody wants to stay here. It’s not what you want to do,” he said, pointing out that there’s no personal space in the emergency shelter, it smells, is filled with conflicting personalities and when you dump all your possessions off in a storage bucket upon arrival, you can’t help realize how little your life amounts to. With the advantage of hindsight, Bond said he can see it’s ultimately what got him back on his feet. “I was like a scalded cat, but I was lucky enough to get in front of the right case worker,” he said. They helped Bond get on the right medication for his anxiety, tap into the right services so he could support himself, and end

the cycle of self-harm before ultimately getting into a home he could call his own. “Having your own place makes such a big difference,” he said. “And I can’t stress enough how much living (at the Mission) makes you want to never live here again.” He’s been in his own home for over a year, which means he was able to start giving back by volunteering at the soup kitchen. These days he has keys to all the rooms he once used, and speaks with the other guys about what they’re facing. He’s a good resource, he explained, because the clients realize he knows what they’ve gone through. “Everything happens for a reason, and this is where I belong,” he said. “Now I have a sense of purpose, and that’s amazing.” The mission assists more than 600 new clients each year, and uses a long-term plan of support which includes everything from getting new ID to finding a rehabilitation program, if necessary. For many of those clients housing is the last step to independence. Considering the barriers facing clients, it’s no small feat. Just the cost of housing in Kelowna, and the extremely low vacancy rate create a significant road block. Ministry assistance is

KATHY MICHAELS/CAPITAL NEWS

KEVIN BOND says the Kelowna Gospel Mission helped him through “100 days of hell” and now the once-homeless man has a home of his own and is giving back as a volunteer at the downtown mission. $610 a month, which allows for $375 for shelter and $235 for food and bills. Then throw in a lack of references. It’s a tightrope that case workers are able to help the clients traverse and this summer they were particularly successful. In June, July and August combined, mission staff helped more than 100 people find homes. Chris Moffat and Kirsten Crossan are two of the case workers who have taken on that job. To them, the biggest hurdle is building a rap-

✔ BANKRUPT ✔ SLOW PAYER

✔ BAD CREDIT ✔ DIVORCE

✔ DISABILITY ✔ CREDIT COUNSELLING

port with the client, and getting them to trust again. “These guys have had so many bad experiences and they don’t want to trust,” Crossan said. Many of the people at the mission’s doorstep are like Bond. They’ve been hit by less than ideal circumstances, which led to some poor choices and even worse results. And the problems being faced aren’t always about addiction. Crossan explained a growing number of divorcees and seniors have been tapping into their services,

while the homeless population in general is seeing a growth among youth. The one thing they have in common, is their humanity and a story to tell. “I’ve met some unbelievably cool people here,” said James Gleghorn, the mission’s director of development. “I’ve met pro athletes and lawyers, and they could be you or I, save one bad decision.” While the mission’s workers remember that they’re helping regular people, it’s sometimes

getting the clients to remember that fact that’s the biggest challenge. “My philosophy is that my guys get put down a lot, and I do not let them put themselves down and spin their wheels for months at a time,” said Moffat. “We have got to keep pushing forward.” Community partners are key to that forward momentum. In the last two years volunteerism at the mission has increased by 50 per cent, while 2,500 Kelowna residents helped fund the endeavour.

Then there’s the RCMP, downtown patrol and various other community services that help get so many at the fringes, pushed back into the fray. But will there ever be a need to close the mission’s doors? “If I had no hope, I wouldn’t be doing this,” said Moffat. “How do you end homelessness?” added Tony, the caseworkers supervisor. “One person at a time. As long as we keep doing that, we’re on the right track.”

New trial for Snelson to go next spring 250-765-5641 877-KOI-TO-GO Koi & Goldfish Aquatic Plants Pond Design Pond Supplies Pond Construc tion

The man charged with the 1993 killing of Jennifer Cusworth will be tried in a Kamloops courtroom next spring. Neil George Snelson, 47, was ordered a new trial on the charge of manslaughter starting May 4, 2015. Snelson was released

on bail in June, on a surety in the amount of $75,000, and has been living in Lake Country with his sister and brother-in-law ever since. Snelson had not previously been released from prison since his 2009 arrest. He remained in provincial custody throughout

his 2011 trial, and went into a federal prison after his conviction that same year of manslaughter. That conviction was overturned last December when the Court of Appeal found that the trial judge erred by allowing into evidence a portion of a statement Snelson gave police

at the time of his 2009 arrest. Cusworth, 19 at the time of her death, was found dead in a ditch on Swamp Road following a house party. Despite yearly pleas for evidence from her parents, the case sat cold for more than 15 years.

NEWS

Animal abuser registry proposed for B.C. An Okanagan veterinary assistant who has always had a soft spot for animals is now working to create a safer life for her furry friends. Camille Block is the founder of the Animal Abuse Defence Registry Society, a new online resource she hopes will help keep animals out of harm’s way. The registry provides instant results about whether a person requesting to adopt an animal has been convicted of animal-cruelty related charges. “I was concerned over how easy it is for anyone to adopt an animal,” said Block, a creative director at Sproing Creative weekdays and vet assistant at Crescent Falls Veterinary Clinic on weekends. “Most people and businesses have no idea about the background of the person they are adopting to.”

That is where the idea of an animal abuse registry came from. The registry, available at www.aadr.ca, gives breeders, clinics, farms, pet stores and individuals a place to search the name of an individual they are adopting to in order to ensure they have no criminal history of animal abuse. “Right now, we are using sources such as Court Services Online, CanLII, calling various courts to confirm information, and so on to manually enter each convicted individual,” said the 23-year-old originally from Alberta. Block is hoping to work together with the strategic information and business applications department of the Ministry of Justice over the course of the next few months to automate that part of the process. In the meantime, Block is trying to collect

support for the non-profit through a Kickstarter campaign at www. kickstarter.com/projects/ 1923880647/animalabuse-defense-registry. “With the help of local businesses, we’re now at the funding stage and would love the support of the community to help make it all happen,” said Block. Through Kickstarter, the project will only be funded if at least $8,000 is pledged by Sept. 20. But Block is confident the cause is worthy. “At the Animal Abuse Defence Registry, we believe that every animal deserves a safe home.” The site is currently accepting registrations for the closed data for users in B.C., while the goal for release of the full version for public use is dependant on how much funding is received.

▼ TEACHERS

Opening day school bell goes unanswered as dispute continues Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Teachers are retracing their steps on picket lines around B.C. schools today, while students and parents continue to wonder when classes will resume. The final blow to hopes of schools opening on time came to Central Okanagan parents via a notice on the school district’s website Sunday. “It is now almost certain that schools will remain behind picket lines on Sept. 2 and until such

time as an agreement is reached,” said school superintendent Hugh Gloster in the notice, that highlighted the weekend’s failed negotiations between mediator Vince Ready, the BCPSEA and the BCTF. “Parents are encouraged to find alternative childcare arrangements as needed, and to pay attention to this website (bcparentinfo.ca) and the media for updates.” While news that classes wouldn’t resume was predicted before the announcement came along,

failed negotiations did give each camp an opportunity to yet again point fingers. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the parties in the teachers dispute are “too far apart for mediation at this time.” “I’m very disappointed for students, parents and teachers. What should be a time of excitement and anticipation will instead be marked by frustration and uncertainty,” said Fassbender in a press release on Saturday. “I wish I could tell British Columbians when

students will be back in school, but right now I don’t see any quick or easy solutions.” The BCTF leadership “has stubbornly refused every effort to reach a fair deal” and refused to give teachers a chance to vote on suspending the pickets while an agreement is mediated,” he claimed. “The gap is much bigger than what the BCTF has been making it out to be, which was that the parties were close on all matters except class size and composition. Over the past few days, it’s been

a very different story behind closed doors,” said Fassbender. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said they were still determined to get a deal before Sept. 2 so schools could open. But after two days of work with mediator Vince Ready, Iker said it had become clear the government was not prepared to find a fair settlement. “The BCTF team tried to kick start meaningful talks by dropping some proposals entirely and reducing others substantially. In total, our moves to-

day reduced our package by $125 million. Unfortunately, the government did not indicate they were willing to make any meaningful moves in return,” said Iker. While those in the political sphere continue to spin their wheels, parents are encouraged to get more information from the ministry at a website that’s been set up by the Ministry of Education at bcparentinfo.ca. The website provides information about the stipend of $40 per day for parents of students under

the age of 13 if the dispute continues. Parents and primary caregivers could start registering their children Aug. 31 either on the website or by calling 1-877-387-3332. Payments will be processed within 30 days after the month that the labour disruption ends. Payments for kindergarten students, and students new to B.C. public schools, will be made after the labour dispute ends and enrolment for the school year is confirmed. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

common interests and identities are brought together to live within one community on campus, designed to enhance the residence and university experience. The Indigenous ILC is open to all aboriginal and non-aboriginal undergraduate students. According to the university, its focus is on fostering practical connections with the local aboriginal community and creating programming that may include both onand off-campus activities. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage with various annual cultural events, such as the Okanagan Nation Salmon Feast and Lake Country Native Association Pow-Wow.

“A great deal of the culture of each ILC is determined and developed by the student’s within the community; they are encouraged to take an active role in shaping their community and in contributing to the larger campus community,” said Ned Gallagher, residence life manager with student housing and hospitality services at UBCO. The indigenous ILC is supported by the residential life community in partnership with the associate vice-president of student’s office and Aboriginal Programs and Services. In the 2005/2006 academic year, there were 58 undergraduate and graduate students at UBC’s Okanagan who self-iden-

tified as aboriginal. This year that number has grown to 331—an increase of 470 per cent since UBC opened its doors in the Okanagan. “As our campus continues to experience increasing numbers of self-identified aboriginal students, providing a sense of belonging and opportunities for all students to engage in intercultural understanding throughout their university experience is key,” said Jeannine Kuemmerle, acting manager, of aboriginal programs and services. “The ILC allows for students to actively learn about and contribute to intercultural understanding outside of the classroom, extending it to the

white Ford sedan. Although the driver of the sedan was observed trying to avoid the pickup, they collided. “The force of the head-on impact caused the pickup to roll in the northbound lane, coming to rest on the passen-

Holmes said the male driver suffered extensive serious head injuries and was taken to Kelowna General Hospital. The female passenger in the sedan succumbed to her injuries and perished at the scene. “The pickup driver was taken to Kelowna General Hospital for treatment of non life threatening injuries and the driver of the black Pontiac was uninjured,” he said. Highway 97 was closed in both directions as two RCMP Traffic Analysts attended to investigate the scene. Traffic flow was restored at 1:15 Saturday afternoon. Police believe speed may have been a factor and are investigating to find out why the pickup crossed into the oncoming lane. To that end, police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision or was travelling southbound at the time of the collision, to contact Const.

Simple assignment overdue

he provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have an assignment and it’s already overdue: Resolve this labour dispute. The teachers’ strike began in the spring and now it’s dragged into the fall. As of Monday, there were are no signs of progress or reasons for optimism. The B.C. Public Schools Employers’ Association, representing the government, and the BCTF, representing 40,000 teachers, claim not to be speak-

ing publicly about the bargaining, but that’s OK, because there doesn’t seem to be any bargaining to speak of. The two sides continue to argue over wages and class size and composition, as they have for months. We understand that there wasn’t any urgency to spend these last couple of months at the bargaining table, when summer holidays beckoned and back-to-school seemed a long way away. But somewhere along the line, both sides should

FAX LINES

have noticed that there was a deadline approaching. They should have circled the day after Labour Day in their homework planners and realized that’s when they had to have their assignment turn in to us—B.C. taxpayers and families—or risk a failing grade. As it stands right, the government and the teachers should not be proud of the work they’ve done so far. Sure, they can spin their stubbornness as resolve and good intentions.

It’s been a bleak summer for the coastal ferry makeover

Should Canada implement a national animal abuser registry? See story on page A3.

here was an uproar in the B.C. legislature this spring when Transportation Minister Todd Stone went ahead with $19 million in cuts to low-usage coastal ferry routes. The plan had been laid out in detail before last year’s election. It targeted sailings where ridership was in the low teens or even single digits. On some sailings the Transport Canada-mandated crew outnumbered the passengers. Despite the cries of doom, most of the sailing reductions have been man-

VICTORIA aged – with one glarexception. The VIEWS ing Discovery Coast Circle Tour route saw its ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola replaced, using the smallest vesTom sel in the BC Ferries Fletcher fleet, the open-decked Nimpkish. This move wasn’t a direct response to low usage, a chronic issue with some of the minor route sailings along the coast. It was to avoid ordering a replacement for the Queen of Chilliwack, which sailed directly between Port Hardy and Bella Coola.

This summer the first leg was consolidated with the Northern Expedition, the vessel that replaced the doomed Queen of the North on the Inside Passage run up to Prince Rupert. At Bella Bella, after a layover of a couple of hours, the Nimpkish took over with space for 16 standard vehicles on its deck and a midnight arrival time in Bella Coola. The direct route had been mainly used by European tourists, who sailed from the Lower Mainland to Victoria, drove the length of the Island, ferried to Bella Coola and drove through the rugged Chilcotin to Williams Lake and back down south to complete the circle tour.

The new route incorporated stops in remote outposts Ocean Falls and Shearwater, making it even longer. Warnings came early. “That’s where 90 per cent of the [BC Ferries] money is being lost, on the milk runs, and that’s the part they are keeping,” Petrus Rykes, a tourism operator at Anahim Lake for 40 years, said in March. “The part they’ve cancelled was at 70 per cent capacity, the second highest of all the fleet routes.” Reports of a bad slump have come to pass. The changes meant bookings couldn’t be made until April, too late for most international travelers. A survey by Bella Coola Valley Tourism in mid-summer found most

One tourism operator on Highway 20 is considering closing down. Stone and his family took the new route themselves in early August, with the minister offering sunny re- i p ports on his blog. Stone summed up his experience l b this way: “At the end of the day, my assess- t ment is that the Nimpkish is a good t tourism product if tourists are made c fully aware as to the type of service t See Fletcher A7s

Say goodbye to Rutland Flea Market To the editor: It’s the end of an era. The Flea Market will be no more after Oct. 1. For most people it brings up a picture of tables full of junk. They, obviously, are not patrons of the flea market. Here in Kelowna, we have a unique flea market which runs all year round, located at the Rutland Centennial Hall. The vendors get up before 5 a.m. on Sunday morning to bring their wares to this location. Early in the mor-

ning, when it is still dark and cold, they set up their tables, check each others’ products, some order breakfast from the concession inside the hall. Some of the people prefer to set up inside the hall, but there are the diehards who prefer to be outside. They are a closeknit bunch. They enjoy each other’s jokes and help the ones who need help. The early birds (buyers) show their face before 8 a.m. Some people are looking for specific cheap

household items for their student children who are moving out on their own. Some are just looking to find that specific treasure, some find the unexpected items that like them so much, they cannot go home without it. And in the summer the Mexican fruit pickers pick up stuff to bring home to their children or to entertain themselves. Not all people coming to the flea market come to buy. For many people the flea market is a place to socialize, they come to

visit, they come to talk. They find people who will listen. They find encouragement, sympathy and camaraderie. It fulfils the need of many people in many different ways. To top it off, the flea market provides a service to the community. Many items are recycled. They would otherwise end up in the landfill. It is also the biggest tourist attraction. Many visitors from Europe visit and enjoy old-fashioned bartering.

Todd Sanderson (president of the Rutland Park Society) and the City of Kelowna have a different agenda. Will it put Rutland on the map? I wonder.

Staff can’t find parking, what about shoppers? Open letter to Kelowna city council: Re: Downtown Parking. I own a small business downtown near our public library. There is no onsite parking for staff, so I arranged to pay for “reserved” parking at the nearby Library Parkade. We need five stalls for our staff, so different cars are there on different days. If we had reserved parking stalls, all would be well.

As it is, my staff is required to search for a stall. That’s right. Nothing is reserved. If the Kelowna Courthouse is busy, no stalls are available when staff arrive for work. After searching through five levels with no success, they have to exit the parkade and search for other parking. What a waste of time, gasoline, and patience. At least when there was a parking attendant at the parkade, they would

close the parkade when it had reached capacity and no one had to drive up and then drive down. Now it seems the city will finally upgrade Ellis Street. Some of the plans include wider sidewalks and 22 fewer parking spaces. Yes, they will be enlarging the Library Parkade, along with more retail on the west side of Ellis Street. Also, the new Technology Centre and Inter-

ior Health Authority offices will possibly require up to 1,000 parking spaces for staff and clientele. Will there be an upgrade in transit services? I believe the Yacht Club will also require parking stalls for public use of the dining facilities. Current parking is being removed to allow for a further extension of Stuart Park.

Hat, Alberta has placed a moratorium on any future smart meters. The spin doctors working for BC Hydro and other utilities are explaining this away as being due to a particular meter manufacturer; however, smart meter fires have been reported all

over the world and with virtually no difference in the manufacturers. BC Hydro has done a good job of covering up fires being caused by their meters since they have been installed over the last few years. Just recently, a responding firefighter told CHEK news

an unarmed teenager by police in Ferguson, Missouri, and the protests that followed for weeks after. With the exception of one night after the killing of the teenager where riots and looting took place, all of the protests and rallies were peaceful with demonstrators saying “Hands up! Don’t shoot!”. But

for the police to show up to these peaceful demonstrations with armoured trucks, tactical military equipment, high-powered sniper rifles and automatic assault weapons is something unbelievable, considering that those who were protesting had the right to form a peaceful demonstration which by

in Langford B.C. (Sooke Lake) that the hydro meter was on fire when they responded to a house fire call. BC Hydro has since denied the meter was the cause. Hardly surprising. With Fortis BC about to install smart meters in Kelowna, can we expect

the same spin if and when the installations result in house fires? Fortis BC should do like Medicine Hat and institute a moratorium. Sources cited: http://www.cheknews. ca/fire-sooke-lake-road/ Maurice Jules, Kelowna

The benefits of eating raw food go far beyond the taste

bet you can’t guess where I am right now. OK, I’ll give you a hint—think really delectable food and really sharp knives. If you guessed chef school, you’re absolutely and deliciously right. But not just any chef school. I’m in training to be a raw food chef, or as some prefer to call it, a living food chef. Raw food, you ask? As in rabbit food? Perish the thought. I

EATING RIGHT

Beverley Edwards-Haine wish you could feast your eyes right now on the bounty of mouth-watering offerings we’re serving up in our classes each day. Gastronomic delights like Asian-style

wild rice pilaf (yes, rice), living lasagna, garden pizza, herbed cheese spread, zucchini pasta with cashew dill sauce, apple cinnamon torte with French vanilla ice cream, chocolate mousse tart, and the list lengthens with each passing day. Yes, all of these are raw. I can most certainly attest that any cooked recipe has an equally delicious raw version. Why would you want to eat raw, living food?

Well, that’s the really fabulous part about all of this. I could go on for days about the plethora of health and environmental benefits but, in the interest of my 500-word limit for this column, let me just say that the plant kingdom is bursting at the seams with life-enhancing flora that are just begging to share their life-giving properties. Plant foods are healing to our bodies. There are mounds of research studies that show that

most of the diseases we suffer from today can be halted and reversed just by increasing the amount of plant foods we eat every day. And, I’m talking about serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, gastro-intestinal issues, and the like. The health benefits alone are astounding. Another reason is for Mother Earth herself A U.N. study says we all might be compelled to adopt a plant-based diet in

coming years due to possible water shortages. So, for various agricultural reasons, eating more plant-based foods leaves a much smaller carbon footprint on our planet. Doom and gloom aside, the bottom line is that eating plant-based and, in particular raw, is just plain delicious. And I aim to prove it to you. Once I’m back in Kelowna, I’ll be presenting a series of informative

health talks, enticing food demos and classes, so keep an eye out for these tasty offerings. You won’t want to miss all this yummy goodness.

The 24th annual Capri Charity Golf Classic was recently held in support of the programs and services provided by the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs. The tournament was held at the Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna, featuring18 holes of golf along with a lunch, dinner and prizes. This year’s tournament raised more than $36,000 for the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs. Golfers, volunteers and sponsors alike enjoyed a fun-filled day participating in activities sponsored by KalTire, Tinhorn Creek Winery, Total Restoration, Belfor Property Restoration, Winmar, Milestones, Moxies, Intact Insurance, Stutters Restoration, RBC and Tree Brewing. Capri Insurance has been the title sponsor of this event since 2006 and has raised close to $270,000 supporting the work of Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs. “We value Capri’s commitment to the young people we serve throughout the Okanagan Valley. It is corporate support like this that helps us to give children and youth the best possible opportunity to learn and grow to be successful, contributing people in our communities,” said Richelle Leckey, events coordinator for the Okanagnan Boys and Girls Clubs. For more than 55 years the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club has been a leading provider of programs to children and youth that support the healthy physical, educational and social development of more than 6,000 young people and their families each year.

Scebba was raised in Windsor, Ont., and has been chef/owner of Ricardo’s Mediterranean Kitchen since 2001. Ricardo’s has won multiple restaurant and customer service awards.

OC’s IT training program pays dividends Choosing the bachelor of computer information systems degree program at Okanagan College was a no-brainer for Chris Kluka—and it has been a decision that paid off in spades with career opportunities. Kluka had taken post-secondary studies at other Canadian institutions, but the credential and education he received didn’t fully meet his needs or expectations. “I’m interested in infrastructure and systems management,” said Kluka, who is now an IT systems infrastructure architect at Daemon Defense Systems Inc. in Winnipeg. “I looked at programs across the country and chose Okanagan College. The other programs I took and others I looked at had the wrong focus. “They were focused on programming or computer science. I wanted a program focused on IT systems implementation and management.” With the benefit of the college giving him transfer credits for much of his post-secondary education taken elsewhere, Kluka entered the computer information systems (CIS) diploma program at Okanagan College. The CIS diploma is a two-year credential that ladders into the college’s four-year bachelor of CIS degree. At the college, he was also able to integrate some courses from the network and telecommunications engineering technology program as electives. Between diploma and degree, Kluka found work with a Kelowna-based company, FormaShape, where he started as a junior network administrator. Eight months later he was IT manager. Then he came back for his degree. After graduation, it was a return to Manitoba, where career opportunities have been unfolding.

your bylaws and any letters patent to comply with the new legislation. Once everything has been updated, it needs to be submitted along with an application for continuance in order to operate as a federal corporation. There may be additional requirements if the corporation is also a registered charity. Any corporation that doesn’t make the transition by the deadline will be deemed to be inactive and will be dissolved. If there are any liabilities at the time of dissolution, they could become the liabilities of the directors. There will be a period of months whereby the government will attempt to contact any non-transitioned corporation before processing the dissolution. Please note that if the corporation was also a registered charity and they missed the deadline, they will be required to reapply for registered charity status once their notfor-profit corporation is re-instated. The reason for a Certificate of Continuance is because the corporation is already incorporated under the act, it cannot incorporate again but

it can ‘continue’ into the new act. Since the act has changed, the articles of incorporation need to be changed and become the articles of continuance. The articles of continuance become essentially the constitution of the corporation. Under the old act, the not-for-profit corporation was required to include a lot of detail in their bylaws such as procedures for members meetings, the manner of electing or appointing directors, procedures of directors’ meeting and the procedures for making, amending or repealing bylaws. The new act now contains many of these rules and classifies them as ‘default’ rules some of which can be amended by a corporation’s articles and bylaws and some which can’t. When changing your articles and bylaws it is important that any change still continues to comply with the spirit of the act and that none contravene it. Your new articles and bylaws must be consistent with the act. The Corporations Canada has more information on the transition process and also has a fillable Form 4031 – Arti-

cles of Continuance with some detailed instructions. If you have determined that your articles are too archaic, you can use the model articles and amend them for your purpose as long as the changes are consistent with the act. There are also model bylaws available as well as a bylaw builder. There are only two mandatory bylaw provisions that are required under the new act. Your bylaws need to address the conditions required for membership and who is entitled to vote at meetings. Some other bylaws that you might want to consider are those dealing with the discipline of members, dispute resolution, transferability of membership, absentee voting and consensus decision making. The mandatory bylaws must be approved by a special resolution of members. Other rules that require a special resolution are those rules regarding the transferability of membership and absentee voting. All the other bylaws can be approved by a simple majority vote.

The articles of continuance must also be approved by a special resolution of members. The articles of continuance must be filed with the application for continuance, but the bylaws can be filed anytime within 12 months of approval. Incorporation of notfor-profit entities in British Columbia is governed by the Society’s Act. Currently the B.C. government is undertaking a review of this act with a view of bringing it up to date with the Canadian Corporations NotFor-Profit Act. Some changes that are being considered for the B.C. act are changes to the approval of special resolutions that currently require 75 per cent of the member vote down to 66 per cent, removing the limitation on non-voting members, voting flexibility to be able to allocate more votes to larger contributing members, stating basic minimum requirements for being a director or an officer.

Rockets test goalies between pipes Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

The Kelowna Rockets split a pair of Western Hockey League exhibition games on the weekend, opening up with a win over the Kamloops Blazers before losing to Vancouver on Sunday. It was the start of a sixgame WHL exhibition schedule for the Rockets, who will play in a mini-tournament in Delta this coming weekend, playing B.C. division rivals Vancouver and Victoria. On Saturday the Rockets held its annual season ticket holder barbecue before opening up with a 5-0 win over Kamloops, a shutout for goalie Jackson Whistle, who left the team to attend the Young Stars event in Penticton with the Vancouver Canucks. Five different Rockets hit the scoresheet for Kelowna in the win as returning players Riley Stadel, Dalton Yorke, Cole Linaker and Joe Gatenby

scored, along with prospect Jordan Borstmayer. Kris Schmidli and Austin Glover chipped in with two helpers apiece. On Sunday in Vancouver, the Rockets and Giants were tied 1-1 after two periods of play before the wheels came off and Vancouver scored five times in the third, to win 6-1. European import Tomas Soustal was the lone Rocket to hit the scoresheet on Sunday. A native of the Czech Republic, Soustal was playing his first game as a Rocket after being drafted by the Rockets in the CHL import draft earlier this summer. Goalies Jake Morrissey and Christopher Tai split duties for the Rockets in net on Sunday. First year head coach Dan Lambert, who was joined by assistant Kris Mallette on the bench and Travis Crickard in the press box, said it was a good weekend of preparation after training camp.

KELOWNA Rockets goalie Jackson Whistle earned a shutout in the Rockets 5-0 win over Kamloops to open the WHL preseason on Saturday. The team went 1-and-1 on the weekend, losing to Vancouver on Sunday. “It was a good weekend for us to see some of our young guys play against other teams,” said Lambert. “Sunday things happened a little quicker and we got ourselves in trouble in the third period

but nothing we can’t work on,” he said. The Rockets will continue the preseason next weekend as they travel back to the coast to take part in a mini tournament with games against the Giants on Sept. 6 and

against the Victoria Royals on Sept. 7. Kelowna has one remaining home exhibition as it will host the Royals on Sept. 13 before opening the WHL regular season at home on Sept. 20 against Kamloops.

Relationships is what keeps veteran Rockets scout on the road Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Several years ago, when the Rockets franchise had first moved to Kelowna, longtime Saskatchewan hockey man Graham Tuer found himself unattached to a Western Hockey League team. He had been in the WHL, helping to build the Regina Pats organization (his name hangs in the rafters in Regina’s arena) as the team’s head scout and assistant general manager. But Tuer had decided to leave the organization and focus on his other duties, some of which included working with the Saskatchwean Midget AAA league, the Saskatchewan Development Model or with NHL Central Scouting. The phone rang pretty quick. For when a hockey man like Graham Tuer is available, he’s not going to be on the market for long. “I really wasn’t out of it for very long, it was almost immediate,” said Tuer from his home in Regina, where he stayed home to be with his wife this year, as opposed to attend the Rockets rookie training camp. “Lorne (Frey, Rockets

head scout) phoned and asked me if I wanted to work with Kelowna and that was it.” ••• Over the years if it was happening in Saskatchewan hockey, odds are Graham Tuer was involved. He has a bantam hockey tournament named after him in Regina, is in the Regina Sports Hall of Fame and sits on the board of the Saskatchewan Development Model, a body that represents all of Saskatchewan’s hockey leagues from the WHL to minor hockey, with an aim to help Saskatchewan players better develop. “We do a lot of work about education and moving players and we’ve been quite successful in the province,” said Tuer. “I get satisfaction out of the fact you are helping develop kids, doing things to make things better for the kids, like education and all the good things that go on in the background that people don’t think about but are very beneficial to the boys.” ••• Tuer has been to more rookie camps than he can keep track of and says it’s the camaraderie with his fellow scouts and others in the game that he is missing this year. “It’s amazing the relationships that develop

Graham Tuer and how they are maintained,” he said. “You develop a relationship and you look forward to meeting with the scouts and arguing with them.

Sometimes it gets a little hot because you think one player is better than another. I use the analogy of picking a girlfriend. It’s silly but it’s something like that. Sometimes I just like a player better than another one and other guys see it differently.” A man of his word, Tuer knows the game of hockey front and back and speaks from the heart. KP: “Can I ask how old you are?” GT: “Fairly old (laughs). I don’t talk about age because age doesn’t mean anything to me. What you want to be on any given day is what you are. I’m very active. Too active.” KP: “Are there any players people may know who you have helped that are special to you?” GT: “There are lots of players that I have been involved with but honestly I just never talk about it. When I see a player I think: ‘well I remember we really liked him because he was a good kid, he worked hard.’ That is the highlight for me. Quite honestly, what the heck kind of difference does it make (if I helped)?” KP: “So what is it that you like in a hockey player?”

SPORTS The UBC Okanagan men’s soccer team suffered two tight losses and earned a draw in a threegame exhibition trip to the Pacific Northwest last week. The first game of the road trip saw the UBCO men’s soccer team fall 2-1 to the University of Puget Sound when the team’s played to a 1-1 tie. A goal just 42 seconds into the match by the host Puget Sound Loggers was answered when forward Austin Jones (5th year, Vernon). After Puget Sound went ahead 2-1, UBCO maintained the majority of possession for the game they were unable to get the tying and the winning goal in the second half. Head coach Dante Zanatta thought his team defended well and that they were unfortunate to not get a better result. “It was a very good competitive game against a good squad, as far as our preparation goes the staff was very happy with the quality of game,” he said. “We were a little disappointed the way we came out and played,” continued Zanatta, “it could have been the two days off and the travel down, but you have to give respect to our opponent Puget Sound, the have very good program.” Game 2 A late goal and a number of missed opportunities saw the UBCO Heat to fall to the Pacific Lutheran Lutes 1-0 in their

second of three games in Washington state. The only goal of the game came in the 64th minute on a long play that turned into a shamble and Jordan Downing was able to convert from close range for the Lutes when he played the ball off a UBCO defender. UBCO spent most of the game on the attack outshooting the Lutes 127, yet with all of the offensive pressure mustered the Heat could not get the ball across the goal line, including a missed penalty kick early in the first half. “We just weren’t very good around the net,” said Zanatta of his team, “offensively is always the hardest thing to be good at, you can get organized defensively and get better at things [on the defensive side] quickly but offensively it’s a mindset to become very good.” Defensively coach Zanatta was happy noting that the Lutes didn’t create a whole lot of chances and overall he thought that for a preseason match “it was a good game and it tested the guys, which is very good. Some guys stepped up and played well I thought, overall it’s a very good learning experience and hopefully we will build on it.” Game 3 Facing a tough NCAA Division II school in the Saint Martin Saints the UBCO Heat came away with a 0-0 draw as the final of three games for the Heat in Washington

state came to a close. Goals continued to be hard to come by for UBCO on this trip, scoring just once in the three games, yet coach Zanatta was very pleased by his team’s performance on Wednesday against a very strong foe. “A 0-0 tie against a division II school was a very good result for our team. We played extremely well and I thought we were unfortunate not to win. We had more possession, we out shot them, and their keeper made a brilliant save late in the last minute off Austin Jones to deny us a win. Defensively we were better today and offensively we created more chances.” The Heat also just missed netting the winner when fourth year Jorden Leib, a forward from Bellingham, WA, playing close to home, had

a partial breakaway and couldn’t finish, a couple of other times UBCO had the ball in the box only to not get a shot or call that was needed to notch a goal. In spite of the sputtering offense the team responded well, especially with it being the second road game in two days. “It was a good performance against a very good St. Martin’s school,” said Zanatta. “Overall we played against three schools in different positions and this was perfect for our preseason, of course you always want to win the games, but it was a very good step forward. And other than a few niggling injuries, the trip, and the camp [August training camp in which the team practiced twice a day for most of the month] were extremely successful. We are looking forward to Prince George in a couple of weeks. We will have to get a little bit better in the next 10-14 days but otherwise it was good.” The Canada West season will get under way on the road in Prince George for a pair of games against the UNBC Timberwolves on Saturday and Sunday (Sep 6-7). The first Canada West action at the Nonis Sports Field on the UBCO campus will be Friday Sept. 12 when the Zanatta and his Heat team play host to the Fraser Valley Cascades. Action begins at 7 p.m. for the men.

Tuer back in the stands Scouting from A12 GT: “Number one the little bugger has to be hard working. I want a player that devotes himself to being a success. It’s just like any other job…I like people who devote themselves to the task at hand.” One thing is for sure when it comes to Graham Tuer and that is that family means everything. A retired government employee, Tuer and his wife have four children— two boys and two girls. One son (Al) has followed in Dad’s footsteps and is working in hockey as a pro scout for the Florida

‘it’s great Mom has been able to help you do what you love to do and that’s watching hockey.’ “It’s like anything: There are high days and low days but hockey has been great for myself selfishly and great for my family as well.” And so while Graham Tuer may be missing Rockets training camp this year, in two weeks he will be back where he belongs—he hitches rides these day, usually with the refs—as he heads to hockey rinks for NHL Central Scouting, and for the Rockets, living the game of hockey.

Coyotes ready to play ball Expectations are high this year for the Okanagan College Coyotes baseball team as players reported for the team’s seventh season on Monday (Sept. 1). Last season, the Coyotes made it all the way to the Canadian College Baseball Conference Championships but fell to Lethbridge’s Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs in dramatic fashion, 8-7. Head coach Geoff White is optimistic about the team’s prospects for the upcoming year. “We have a good group,” said White. “We have many strong returning players and a promising group of freshmen.

Main entrance to KGH relocated Construction of the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre has resulted in the temporary relocation of the main entrance to at Kelowna General Hospital. The entrance and roundabout driveway at the Centennial Building will be closed until Oct. 31. During the closure,

the main entrance will be relocated to the east side of the Centennial Building, directly under the Pandosy Skywalk where a new set of double doors has been installed. This work is necessary to build a front entrance for the IHSC and tie it in with the Centennial Building, say KGH officials. It will also incor-

porate the turnaround and patient drop-off area with the new building. New driveways have been constructed to allow traffic to access the temporary main entrance directly from Pandosy Street. There is no change to patient drop-off at the hospital’s emergency department entrance on Royal Avenue.

Changing face of heroin addiction

oung men in the big city. This is the group we often associate with heroin abuse. Until fairly recently, this was the most common demographic for the highly addictive opioid. A new study from Washington University shows how the face of heroin abuse has changed in the past decade and is now often a drug used after becoming addicted to prescription opioids. For this study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, 2,800 American heroin users who had entered treatment facilities were surveyed about their past heroin use and how it came to be their drug of choice. Users who began taking heroin during the 1960s were primarily young men from the inner city using heroin as their first opioid. Both white and non-white individuals were represented equally at that time. However, for more recent users, the demographics shifted to include older men and women from outside large urban centres who first used prescription opioids. In the last decade, 90 per cent of new heroin users were white. Individuals who first

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer used prescription opioid medications often cited cost and availability as reasons for transitioning from prescription drugs to heroin use. Some believe addicts were compelled to switch after the introduction of abuse-resistant formulations of many opioid medications in 2010. This may have compelled existing addicts to switch to heroin as a more accessible alternative. Some good news on opioid addiction is that numbers of youth and young adults using prescription drugs have fallen in the past few years. Also, numbers of people using buprenorphine to treat heroin addiction has gone up 400 per cent in recent years. In Kelowna I certainly see a lot more heroin addiction now than I did 30 years ago. It is amazing to see how nonchalantly many people take up heroin use these days. This then becomes part

of a downward spiral into criminal activity, prostitution and homelessness that is devastating to watch. The other face of heroin addiction that I see very frequently is when parents of addicted women are put in the position of raising their grandchildren because of heroin’s effects. It is difficult enough that these grandparents are trying to raise young children well into their 60s, but they are usually doing it with a lot of opposition from their addicted children who often resent their involvement. There is usually Ministry involvement

mandating that the children cannot be with their addicted parent and yet that parent may resist all interference. The addicted parents lack insight into how ill-equipped they are

to look after their children on their own or how inappropriate their addicted partners are to be involved in the raising of children. The grandparents I see are often depressed. They are in constant conflict, burdened with the extra responsibilities and often financially stressed. It is hard to abandon your grandchildren to a life of deprivation and they usually try everything in their power to help but often with only limited success. It is a miserable life for everyone concerned. The parents, children and grandchildren sometimes have other psychiatric issues that complicate their lives beyond the addictions. The cost of heroin addiction is large when you look at the cumulative costs of medical care, counselling, Ministry involvement, social services, legal, penal and policing costs over at least three generations. I hope to see more research and strategies that will work to prevent and treat these damaging addictions.
