News

For over 80 years community and local issues Kevin Parnell www.kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

When the first edition of the Kelowna Capital News hit the streets in August of 1930, it might have only been eight pages long but the content within those pages wasn’t much different than what you hold in your hands today.

Stories. Advertisements. Classifieds. People.

The first ever edition of the Cap News was put together and printed on a table in founder Les Kerry’s dining room.

It was a free publication focusing on the community. Technology has changed many things, including where and how the Capital News is printed, but the philosophy behind the paper is the same as the one that was born some 84 years ago.

That first edition featured stories affecting the people of Kelowna. Kerry published the paper on Wednesdays so readers would have the chance to see the ads before their weekend shopping.

As you flip through today’s edition of the Kelowna Capital News, you will see many of

the same elements. The stories and the ads and the people may have changed, but the focus on community and local issues is the same.

“We’ve got a long history here in the Central Okanagan and we take a lot of pride in representing the folks that live in the area,” said Capital News publisher Karen Hill.

“We have always tried to encompass all of the things that go on in the communities of the Central Okanagan.”

This week, the Capital News returns to its roots with a twice weekly distribution schedule and with a revamped focus on community.

For years, the Capital News was distributed twice a week, delivered free to people’s door-steps. This week the newspaper goes back to twice a week, publishing each Wednesday and Friday.

“We’re going back to the grassroots model of community newspapers with content built around today’s fast-paced world,” said Hill.

“The Wednesday-Friday model gives readers a chance to plan their week and it gives retailers an opportunity to reach those readers before the

weekend.

And our website gives our readers a chance to get their news immediately.”

In the past decade, technology has changed the world of reporting as the Internet has allowed stories to be brought to the public in real time.

The news cycle is as quick as it has ever been— reporters chase down the latest story, post it online and move on. At the Capital News, reporters first post their stories on kelownacapnews.com, but then dig deeper, talk to people affected by the news and expand their story for the next newspaper edition.

“Yes, social media and the Internet has sped up the news cycle,” said Alan Bass, a professor of journalism at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, a city which saw its daily newspaper fold earlier this year.

“It never ends. There is a deadline literally every second. Where I get concerned about this is reporters spend so much time filing updates to

Robert and Kaian Severin read the Capital News together at home after it’s delivered to their door.

various forms of media that the very, very important functions of thinking and researching and doing as many interviews as you can on any given story has suffered.

“Journalists still need to do things like verifying information and getting all relevant points of view into their story.”

In Kelowna, the media market is saturated with two newspapers, a TV station, several radio stations and a host of online-only news services.

There isn’t another market in the Interior of B.C. like it. It’s competitive as news organizations race to be the first one to publish a story.

But the race to be first and fast doesn’t leave a lot of time to examine the issues and talk to people.

Important parts of the story are being lost, said Bass.

“I think that’s the risk,” he said. “I think filing more stories to more formats takes time away (from journalists). What used to make stories unique is not everyone would talk to the same person and that would lead to facts being uncovered that previously wouldn’t be.”

At the Capital News Barry Gerding has been the managing editor since 2000. He says the people who are most affected by a news story are often forgotten as today’s media pack rushes from story to story.

He says publishing twice a week gives Capital News reporters a chance to go behind the latest headlines and dig a little deeper.

“As a community newspaper we are always asking ourselves, ‘Who is affected by this story?’” said Gerding.

“When the media pack moves on to the next story, these people are still dealing with their issues.

Their stories are the ones that we want to tell. These issues affect all of us.”

So as you flip through the newest incarnation of the Kelowna Capital News—with a new design developed and co-ordinated by Capital News production staff member Kiana Haner-Wilk—it’s important to remember that the Capital News is still doing what it’s been doing for the past eight decades.

It represents the communities of the Central Okanagan, supported by local businesses, telling stories about people. @KP_media1

Second crossing option study timing for planning and building a second bridge over Okanagan Lake.

Stone said there will be extensive opportunities for local governments, First Nations and the public to have input in the planning process The five-lane William R. Bennett Bridge, completed in 2008 and connecting Kelowna and the Westside, is the only existing crossing of the lake. The government says based on extensive traffic analysis, it will suffice as the only crossing until 2033.

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

The B.C. government has chosen a consulting firm to look at route options for a second crossing of Okanagan Lake.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone announced Monday at the B.C. Road Builders’ annual fall conference in Kelowna that Delcan Corporation has won the $2-million contract. He said Delcan will examine the transportation needs of the area and look at potential route options, including preferred locations, for a future second lake crossing as well as potential

Crystal Mountain has yet to start fixes, Safety Authority says; regional district grants mountain owners yet another extension on its development Jennifer Smith jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

To the best of the BC Safety Authority’s knowledge, Crystal Mountain has not done any of the repairs it outlined in a report delivered this summer.

Several people were injured in March when a chairlift derailed, forcing the safety regulator to suspend the operating licence on the mountain’s three ski lifts.

“In July, we issued a number of instructions to Crystal Mountain in

terms of regulated work that would need to be done (to re-open the lifts),” said Quinn Newcomb, spokesperson for BCSA. “We did that in July so they would have time to complete the work before the 2014-15 ski season. To our knowledge, none of the work has been completed.”

Efforts to contact mountain manager Mike Morin have gone unanswered, although the small resort did announced it will not open for the 2014-15 season on its Facebook page this past weekend.

Two weeks after the chairlift accident, the mountain was granted an extension for a rezoning application on phase one of a development to include new lifts, lodge and residential housing.

The mountain owners, the Switzerland-based Tschantz family, spoke through Pheidias Development Management Corporation president Oberto Oberti, citing a volatile

international finance and investment community as the reason they have not pulled together the necessary funding.

Pheidias was back before the Central Okanagan Regional District on Sept. 11 and was granted a oneyear extension to pursue the same extension again.

Meanwhile, the BCSA is planning to issue a statement later this week, which will detail specifics on the investigation.

To date, it is understood a chair was swinging wildly, hit a tower and caused the “deropement” of a raft of chairs. A critical tension systems was also not working and considered a contributing factor.

A 16-year-old ski instructor suffered a broken arm and his 45-year-old student sustained broken ribs in the incident.

A husband and wife, who work for the mountain’s ski patrol, also sustained minor injuries.

Zimmermann opts to not seek re-election Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

After just one term on Kelowna city council, Gerry Zimmermann is calling it quits.

Zimmermann, the city’s former fire chief, announced Monday he will not seek reelection in November’s civic vote.

Gerry Zimmermann

Zimmermann’s decision brings the number of seats on council up for grabs this year to four, with incumbent Coun. Andre Blanleil’s announcement last week he will not see re-election after 21 years on council, Coun.

Colin Basran declaring he will run for mayor to replace the retiring Walter Gray, and long-time councillor Robert Hobson saying repeatedly he is leaning towards not running after 26 years on council, unless “something major” was to change his mind.

Zimmermann said he decided not to run partly because of the new fouryear terms for local government elected officials

across B.C., citing that “I would rather ride my horse and my tractor than attend meetings.”

“Life is too short,” he said Monday. “I’m 65 years old and there are other things I want to do.”

Those include spending more time with his family, tending to his farm and traveling.

Zimmermann said he was pleased and proud of the work the current council has done over the last three years, adding he felt it will be difficult to reproduce a council that includes seven members who work so well together.

Zimmermann said the highlights of his three years on council are the small projects that directly help people rather than bigger, more high-profile ones like the new Interior Health building downtown, a new RCMP building or approval of a major hotel, conference centre and commercial project that is expected to change the face of downtown Kelowna.

Zimmermann said he has applied to once again become a commissioner on the provincial Agricultural Land Commission, a position he held from 2008 to 2010. That term, however, was punctuated by a life-threatening illness Zimmermann faced in 2009.

Meanwhile, Zimmermann’s council colleagues Mohini Singh,

Coroner identifies two recent fatalities The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died following a motorcycle incident near Kelowna on Sept. 12.

The motorcycle rider was Jeffrey James McNeil, 46, from Grand Forks.

McNeil was riding southbound on Highway 33 near Kelowna when he was witnessed to lose control of his motorcycle.

Emergency personnel responded and McNeil was transported to Kelowna General Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

The Coroners Service and Kelowna RCMP investigation of the accident is continuing.

Meanwhile, the coroner has also identified a man found Sept. 10 deceased in a West Kelowna park The man is Ryan David Quigley, 30, originally from Newfoundland but who was residing in West Kelowna.

Quigley was discovered in the Gellatly Dog Park in the early hours of last Wednesday.

Evidence at the scene clearly indicated that Quigley’s death was not suspicious in nature, according to the coroner.

Autism fundraiser The inaugural Central Okanagan fundraiser in support of Autism Speaks Canada will take place Sunday, Sept. 21, at Waterfront Park, 10 a.m. The goal for the event is to raise $50,000 to support this agency which is a leading autism science and advocacy group for autistic children and their parents, a disorder now diagnosed in one in 68 children across North America.

Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Some Kelowna students fear they’ll be paying for this year’s extended summer holiday with their futures.

“It’s stressing me out,” said Grade 12 student Megan Soderlund, hours before news of a tentative deal between the BCTF and the province was released.

Soderlund will likely be

back in classes with her fellow students next week, but thinking about the weeks of study time she’s lost will continue to weigh on her.

University applications, hours logged in advanced placement classes and, in her case, SAT prepping have all been thrown off kilter with the ongoing strife between the BCTF and the province.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” she said. “They took a long break in the summer when they could have been negotiating, and at the end of the day they’re all going to be OK.” Sitting across the table from her was fellow Grade 12 student Thomas Song, who quickly picked up on that comment.

“Students really are sacrificing the most, and

we’re getting nothing,” he said.

Both explained that the post secondary educational climate is competitive.

And, while B.C. universities may make allowances for the stuttered start to the year, it’s unlikely their contemporaries across provincial and national borders will view their applications in the same light.

Bella Thomson, a Grade 12 student who organized two sit-ins to put pressure on the powers that be to get back to the job of educating students, said that learning and preparing for post high school life is a job that all her peers are anxious to take on, regardless on their educational aims.

“We’re tired of lazing around…school is our life and we’re missing out on crucial time,” she said.

Figuring out how to catch up on lost time is something that everyone in the province will be focusing

These Kelowna Secondary School students are happy to hear that classes are expected to resume next week, pending the ratification of a new contract negotiated by the BCTF and provincial government. on in the days ahead, said Hugh Gloster, the Central Okanagan school district superintendent.

“I don’t envy the (education) ministry,” said Gloster, noting that there are a lot of issues at play right now.

The top questions he’s fielding have to do with whether or not spring break will be cancelled, or if the school year will be extended.

“Those are decisions that would have to be made provincially,” he said.

“If you have to have

your whole staff work an extra week…we approved a calendar that didn’t include those weeks… so a consultation process has to happen. If staff has to be made available then somebody has to be made available and it would be very expensive.”

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said a plan is being developed to make up missed instructional days, which could involve rescheduling Christmas holidays, spring break or adding days to the end of the school year.

Every student’s education will be “kept whole,” particularly senior high school students looking ahead to post-secondary studies, he said.

Students in the public school system may be behind, but B.C. has under its umbrella 37 offshore schools—mostly in China— teaching B.C. equivalent curriculum and 12 per cent of students engaged in the independent system.

They are all on course to take exams in the regular timetable. @KelownaNewsKat

Different dispute this time around Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

For the past 35 years, Central Okanagan School District superintendent Hugh Gloster has seen every possible side of labour disputes between B.C. teachers and the B.C. government.

As a teacher in the 1980s he was involved in the original teacher-government conflicts in B.C. After 10 years as a teacher in Kelowna, Gloster moved into school administration as a vice principal and principal.

And for the past six years Gloster has been

the superintendent of the Central Okanagan School District, taking his direction from the board of trustees.

Gloster says this year’s labour dispute was extra difficult.

“This one has been different,” he said this week.

“We ended last year under a contract dispute and sadly we had to start that way this year.

“Those are two very important times for us: Finishing a year and starting a new year. Those are critical times to be involved in a labour dispute.”

As the CEO of the local board of education, Gloster

steered clear of making political statements about the dispute.

From day to day, the superintendent stayed in close touch with what was happening and also with other school administrators and non-union staff who have been ready to spring into action to get schools ready as soon as a deal was reached.

“This has been a very challenging time for everyone involved in public education,” he said.

“I think we are all saddened by the situation and I don’t think there are any stakeholders who don’t want to see the schools

back up and running and our teachers in front of kids doing the great work that they do.”

During the dispute Gloster and other school administrators spent plenty of time on the phone talking with parents who were challenged to find ways of coping without the start of the school session.

“We have all had some heart-wrenching conversations with parents on the phone or in emails,” he said.

“Sometimes they were dealing with perhaps a special needs child. It’s very difficult on parents when our system is not operating

Tentative settlement too late to impact planning for national conference CONFERENCE FROM A6 disruption already with the loss of instruction time. We may use KSS for a half day at the conference and then use off-site facilities for the rest of the conference to avoid any more loss of instructional time.”

Kelowna was awarded the annual conference featuring student leaders from across Canada three years ago and began work in earnest to host the weeklong event two years ago.

As the teacher’s dispute dragged on from the last school year until now, organizers contemplated canceling the event entirely, but decided to move ahead and host it regardless of where the labour dispute was at.

“We looked at (cancelling) it and the impact on 700 innocent, young student leaders from across the country was so profound if we cancelled that we thought this is one we are going to have to do our best to make it happen,” said Gloster. “(If the deal is ratified) we will be in a much better position to welcome the nation into our district next

week.”

This year’s Canadian Student Leadership Conference is the 30th annual event and the Kelowna organizing committee has included some 200 educators, the majority of which were teachers, said Gloster.

Last week the Central Okanagan board of trustees wrote a letter to the BCTF asking for permission to use KSS in the event the strike was still underway.

But the request was denied and the union said pickets would not come down at KSS to allow for the event to go on.

So organizers began looking for other venues to host the event including at UBCO, in City Park, in Penticton and other venues around Kelowna.

Now organizers say they will finalize the venues this week, but will avoid any more disruption to local schools.

Gloster said teachers have worked countless hours to prepare for the conference and he hopes some will still be involved.

“Many teachers have invested hundreds of hours already to get the

conference going, so if we have teachers that wish to be involved we will welcome them,” said Gloster.

“But we will be highly sensitive to the fact that they have endured a lot

and the first priority is to students and classrooms and families at home.”

For details on the leadership conference: http://www.cslc2014.ca. @KP_media1

but I recognize there is a process.”

Now that a tentative deal has been reached, Gloster says the big question is how to make up for the loss of instruction time in classrooms.

“We’re waiting for the details of the deal and exactly what’s in that package in terms of how soon we can open schools.” he said.

“Boards of education will need to be apprised of the situation and then we can make decisions on how to proceed.” @KP_media1

KGH campaign exceeds $1 million KGH Foundation’s signature fundraising gala, the Heart of Gold, went “above and beyond” raising revenues of over $1 million for critical medical equipment required for the hospital’s new Interior Heart & Surgical Centre.

The gala was held Sept. 6, in Kelowna Flightcraft’s Hangar 8 and was host to 400 guests.

“I am proud to see my hangar transformed for such a successful fundraising event. It makes me proud to be part of the Kelowna community,” explained Barry Lapointe, chairman and CEO of Kelowna Flightcraft.

Four of KGH’s highly skilled surgeons also took the stage to truly illustrate the purpose of the event. Funds raised are supporting the foundation’s $12 million Be a Lifesaver Capital Campaign.

The IHSC will open in the fall of 2015 and be home to 12 surgical specialties, including open heart surgery. It will serve over 740,000 people in B.C.’s Interior.

“Together, we made a difference…what an amazing community. Thanks to everyone involved in this spectacular event,” said Debbie and Leo Robert, the evening’s honorary chairs.

LED CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AnD LED REpLACEMEnT buLbS LED Christmas lights are popular holiday lights due to their energy saving features and long bulb life.

LEDs burn bright, and you will reduce your costs when choosing Christmas lights! The outdoor lights are available in two sizes C7 and C9 and are available as replacement bulbs as well as pre-built strands to replace your existing lights in your light strands to LED bulbs.

LEDs use much less electricity (only 4 watts for a 70-light string) and have a much greater lifespan than incandescent lamps. Since they are constructed from solid state materials and have no metallic filaments to burn out or break, LEDs are also much less susceptible to breakage from impact or rough handling. Christmas lights of this type do not suffer from color fading because the light is determined by the LED’s chip rather than the plastic lens. In addition, the plastic lens is much more durable than the glass envelope of incandescent bulbs Although LEDs themselves are long-life devices, older or lower-quality strands of LED-based Christmas lights can suffer from early failure. More detailed information on choosing LED lights can be found on the internet.

For a selection of Commercial quality LED strands and replacement bulbs at blowout prices, please drop in to see us.

next council implementing a four-year property tax freeze.

Walter Gray raised the issue at the end of this week’s Kelowna council meeting by relating a story he read in a Vernon newspaper about rising crime statistics in that city.

And he blamed the rise, in part, on the fact that a few years ago Vernon implemented a multi-year tax property freeze, paid for in part by not increasing police resources. At the end of the freeze, Vernon taxpayers faced a proposed tax increase of more than 20 per cent.

“The article said Vernon paid the price,” said Gray.

His comments were a direct response to the emergence of what is being billed as Kelowna’s first municipal political party and its three candidates former councillors Graeme James and Carol Gran and

newcomer Dale Olson.

The trio, planning to run together in November’s election under the Taxpayer First banner, are advocating a four-year tax freeze here. And to pay for it, they say cuts can be made to spending at city hall.

According to Olson, there is “plenty of fat” that can be cut at city hall and the trio cite recent big ticket spending by the city projects such as new washrooms and landscaping in City Park ($800,000) and a new administration building at the Glenmore Landfill ($2.2 million). The city has defended both projects.

In his remarks, Gray contrasted Kelowna’s decision to fund as many as 22 more police officers here over three years starting with the 2012 budget, an expense he credits for the drop in crime in his city. The move came

news _____________________________________________________________________ TEACHERS’ STRIKE

School district eyes Monday opening for classes Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

School buses will be ready to roll within 24 hours of the district getting word that the labour dispute has been put to rest, says the superintendent of the Central Okanagan School District.

Stressing that he was merely speculating, and had no definitive word one way or the other, Hugh Gloster surmised that all signs point to a Monday start to the school year.

“There has to be a ratification vote, and that’s likely to be happening on the Thursday. Depending on how that goes, we could be open within a day or two after that,” he said.

“We could open our schools almost immediately after the vote, but if we get news of ratification at 9 p.m. at night, that would be chaotic.”

The many employees of the district that go beyond teaching positions need a headstart, he said, naming custodians, bus drivers and

other staff as those who would need notices.

Once that first day of classes is decided on, Gloster also wanted to remind parents that it will conducted in the manner of all first day’s of schools, despite the fact it’s three weeks late.

“Our typical opening day is a half day,” he said.

“The opening day is often the time where we can verify who we have lost, who we have gained, and how do we balance our classes and make time table

needs.

“We would try our best, using the staff who are at our disposal to balance out our classes so the composition issues are managed in the best way possible,” Gloster said.

“Current practice is to use a learning improvement fund, dollars given to districts, then hire teachers and support staff to deal with challenging issues and students. We may find, of course, that there’s some difference that’s come out of the settlement. We need

adjustments.”

The key issue in the labour dispute has historically been class size and composition, and that first day is when those issues may be addressed.

Teachers will find out what kind of classes they have, tell the powers that be who has special demands either educationally or medically and the district will allocate resources as they can. The big question will be whether the ratified contract will create more funding to address those

the details, then we will talk about best ways to deploy that funding.”

Negotiations between the union and the employers’ association, with the help of Vince Ready, took a turn for the better on the fifth day of talks at a Richmond hotel.

Outside the Delta early Tuesday morning, Ready told reporters that both sides worked hard to reach the tentative deal, but offered little else.

“I’m not at liberty to release any of the details, nor are the parties,” he said at the press gathering.

“The parties are going to meet later (Tuesday

morning) and finalize a few of the outstanding details, but generally speaking, there has been a tentative agreement initialized by the parties and that’s really all I got to say at this point.”

Negotiations resumed last week under increasing pressure from the public.

More than 40,000 teachers in the province have been without a contract since June 2013 and class size and composition issues were highlighted repeatedly as the battle for public support was waged in the media. @KelownaNewsKat

WEST KELOWNA

Nov. 15 local government election will not include referendum question West Kelowna has dropped its plan to include a referendum question on the November civic election ballot about building a new municipal hall.

According to the municipality, negotiations are still underway for the West Kelowna Civic Centre project and council was advised the necessary funding information needed to put the question to voters will not be ready in time for the Nov. 15 vote.

“We want the best possible project for West Kelowna taxpayers,” said Mayor Doug Findlater.

“Council was unanimous on this point. We don’t want to rush any part of this key component of our economic development strategy and important municipal amenity. With the election just a few weeks away and complex negotiations with the developer and planning still well underway, we are not ready to include the civic centre question on this year’s ballot.”

In June, West Kelowna council announced it had chosen 3641 Elliott Road as the preferred location for the development of a civic centre to replace the current municipal offices at the Mount Boucherie Recreation Centre.

The district started negotiations with its selected proponent, New Town/Sturgess Group.

Concurrently, the district is also actively pursuing public sector tenant partnerships

for the proposed complex and searching for other funding to help offset the total cost, estimated at much as $12.3 million.

“These complex financial negotiations, although very promising and exciting, are taking some time to get through,” said Findlater.

“Our council is very cautious and dedicated to ensuring that the costs of this project remain in tight control, that we are getting out of it what this community needs and that when taxpayers are asked this important funding question, we present the most comprehensive information we can for them. We want to have absolutely accurate and firm cost information before it moves forward. It is too important a project to push through at this time.”

Findlater said the when the question of when to ask for public approval to borrow money for the project will be left up to the new council in 2015.

The proposed building will be built in phases with the first phase a 24,015-square-foot municipal hall owned by the district. An option to include 7,000-square-feet of expansion will be included.

There would also be a residential building on the site, a public plaza and an office building, all owned by the developer, as well as underground and above ground parking.

coaching him. He’s not the most physical guy, but he competes every night and you can’t ask much more.”

With the loss of the team’s top three offensive producers from 2013-14—Myles Bell, Ryan Olsen and Damon Severson—the Rockets will be looking to other sources to spearhead the WHL team’s attack this season.

While Chartier knows some of that responsibility will rest on his capable shoulders, he also knows the Rockets success this season will hinge on a familiar theme—team play.

“Different guys are going to be counted on this year, but I’m looking forward to being one of those for sure,” said Chartier, a first-round bantam choice of the Rockets in 2011. “I’m good with being more accountable for the scoring and everything. But I think we have a group here where everyone can score, it’s going to be four lines, so I think we’re going to do a pretty good job of that.”

As for the team’s big-picture expectations, Chartier said 109 wins over the last two years was commendable, but in the end two premature playoff exits fell well short of the mark.

“It was tough, you want to win when it comes down to it in the playoffs,” said Chartier. “Sure, regular season wins are nice, but we want to be there when it really counts.

“We have a decent amount of returnees and I know they all want to do better and get a WHL championship.”

At 18, Rourke Chartier is, by no means, an old soul by Western Hockey League standards.

Still, as he heads into his third major junior campaign, there is little doubt that the Saskatoonborn centre has moved into a marquee role for the Kelowna Rockets—both as a force on the ice and in a leadership role.

“The first two years, I think I just kind of went out there and played but I think this year I have more of a leadership role, I’m going to be counted on as an older guy,” Chartier said. “But at the same time I’m just going to go out there, play my same He’s a quiet kid game, and play that leads by hard.” example.

His play was impressive enough for the San Jose Sharks to grab Chartier in the fifth round, 149th overall in this summer’s NHL entry draft.

Statistics and numbers aside, Rockets head coach Dan Lambert said Chartier is a reliable, driven and skilled player any coach would be happy to have at his disposal.

“He’s a quiet kid that leads by example,” Lambert said of Chartier. “Rourke does everything we ask as coaches, he’s a guy you love to have on your team.

government, then Shane Sommerfeld, Peter McCall and Mike Godwin will no longer have to watch their teams play from a distance.

All three Central Okanagan high school senior varsity football programs have been without their head coaches due to the ongoing labour dispute.

If the B.C. Teachers Federation approves the tentative labour agreement Thursday, then Sommerfeld will officially be back at the helm of the KSS Owls, McCall will be back with the Rutland Voodoos, and Godwin will again be running practices for the Mt. Boucherie Bears.

“We’re pretty excited,” said McCall, who is still

looking for players to join the Voodoos. “There have been some pretty dark times for the players and coaches, but hopefully we can get back to normal and get on with the season.

Due to the labour dispute between the the two sides, Kelowna teachers—such as McCall, Godwin and Sommerfeld—had been asked by the union not to take part in extracurricular activities, including football.

All programs have been run in the interim by nonteacher volunteers.

The Voodoos were scheduled to kick off their regular season this Friday night at the Apple Bowl against W.J. Mouat, but because of a lack of quality preparation time, low

player numbers and injuries, McCall said his team has chosen to cancel the game and reschedule for a later date. Rutland’s season opener is now set for Sept.

26 at St. Thomas More.

The Bears were scheduled to kick off their season Friday night at Terry Fox in Coquitlam.

The Owls will open up their 2014 regular season Saturday, Sept. 27 at W.J. Mouat.

B.C. high school football has agreed to push the playoffs back a week— allowing teams to play make-up games as late as the beginning of November.

It’s possible the number of playoff teams could also be expanded from 12 to 14. @capnewsports

Hot start for Heat men’s soccer squad’s inaugural CIS season Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

In the team’s inaugural season of CIS soccer, head coach Dante Zanatta couldn’t have written a much better script for his UBC Okanagan Heat.

After sweeping a pair of home games over the weekend, the Heat men are off to the best start by a first-year Canada West men’s soccer program since 2009.

Hard-fought wins over Fraser Valley and Trinity

Western at UBCO’s Nonis Field have the Heat sitting at a most attractive 3-1 mark, good enough for second spot in the conference.

“You’re not going to do that every week,” Zanatta said of the two home-pitch

wins. “But it’s great to have a couple wins—no one can take those points away from us.”

On Friday, in the team’s official Canada West home opener against the UFV Cascades, Jordan Leib put the Heat on the board with a marker just past the 20-minute mark.

After Fraser Valley evened the count at 78 minutes, keeper Christopher ‘Tate’ Cuthill made a couple of key saves to keep the Heat in the game.

That the set the stage for Enzo Paal’s dramatic winner in extra time.

“I wanted it really bad,” Paal said. “Dylan Abbott took a free kick, and then Ryan Jerry made a run down the line and crossed it near the post, and I hit it right footed in.”

Zanatta, who was relieved and happy to get the team’s first ever home field win, gave credit to the players.

“It’s the players,” he said.

“The players have bought in. They all did well. The players play—the staff can only do so much work… credit goes to them.”

If that wasn’t enough of an example his team’s resolve, the Heat followed up on Saturday with a 2-1 verdict over Trinity Western.

After a Spartans’ goal midway through the opening half, Cole Kinzgett evened the count with his second of the season, with time winding down before the break.

Then just nine minutes into the second half, the Heat struck for the eventual game winner as Jordan Leib notched his third goal of the year, thanks to some deft playmaking by Enzo Paal and Dylan Abbot.

“Credit to the boys, they scored a really nice goal… and then hung on until the end,” Zanatta, referencing Leib’s finish at the net.

Now second in the conference at 3-1, the Heat have established a degree of confidence as they prepare this coming weekend for pair of Canada West powers—first-place UBC and the Victoria Vikes.

UBCO will host Victoria on Friday (6 p.m.) and the Thunderbirds Saturday (7 p.m.).

HEAT WOMEN After battling to a pair of draws on their first ever weekend of Canada West play, the UBC Okanagan women were unable to earn a point in their first two home games at Nonis Field.

On Friday, the Fraser Valley Cascades got the better of the Heat with a 2-0 victory.

The biggest difference seemed to be experience and toughness as the Cascades outplayed the Heat by winning most of the 50-50 battles, especially in the second half. “We didn’t have control of the ball as much as we would like, so then we couldn’t get into a rhythm,” Heat coach Claire Paterson said. “We have to clean that up and make sure we’re maintaining possession once we’ve won the ball.”

On Saturday night, after a scoreless first half, the floodgates opened in the second as defending national champion Trinity Western rolled to a 5-1 victory.

The Spartans scored three times in a 17-minute span to take a 3-0 lead, before

the Heat responded with its lone goal from Kelowna’s Courtney Hemmerling at 78 minutes.

“Was the score indicative of our play? No,” said Paterson following the contest. “We could have packed it in, said ‘whatever,’ but we continued to compete. And that was sheer hard work out of our players.”

Still, it was TWU’s night as they rounded out the scoring at 79 and 84 minutes.

All things considered the Heat coach was satisfied with her team’s effort.

“We’re a new team, not only in the league, but we have 50 per cent new players on our team,” Paterson added. “So it’s super encouraging to see us come out, compete, and compete well against the reigning national champions.”

The Heat women (02-2) will host Victoria on Friday (4 p.m.) and UBC on Saturday (5 p.m.) at Nonis Field on the UBCO campus. @capnewsports

Okanagan Sun quarterback Josiah Joseph is tripped up by a V.I. Raiders opponent during Saturday’s B.C. Football Conference game at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park. The Sun won 19-7. wounded, the Sun’s overall depth is becoming a rather useful tool.

When Okanagan hosts the Westshore Rebels (25) on Saturday night, head coach Shane Beatty expects to be resting as many as key players as possible, and make use of what many consider the deepest roster in the conference.

While Beatty never looks past an opponent, the head coach said it’s important his club is in the best possible health for what could potentially be a battle for first place against the visiting Langley Rams on Sept. 28.

“We’re banged up and

a little tired, but you expect this later in a football season,” said Beatty.

“We’ve got to get through this week, get healthy and be ready for when we see Langley. We’re going to use the depth we have. The (Rams) have been banged up, too, but are getting some guys back now as well.”

With games remaining against the Rebels, Rams and Kamloops, and a grip on top spot, the Sun controls its own destiny.

Okanagan is coming off a rare season-sweep of the Vancouver Island Raiders, although Saturday’s 19-7 win in Nanaimo was the

most hard-fought of all three wins.

With humid, 27 degree conditions at Caledonia Park, Beatty said it was one his club’s gutsier efforts.

“It was a hard place to breathe, the guys were really put to the test, and the Raiders were definitely improved over the last time we saw them (6420),” Beatty said. “(Rookie quarterback) Josiah Joseph stepped up and played well, it was a learning experience for him. Our defence shut them down to seven points which was nice. Overall, we fought hard and really learned how to play through some tough conditions.”

Speaking of depth, the Sun has added some to the offensive backfield with the return of a familiar face.

OKM grad Armand Bokitch, who played with the Sun in 2010 and 2011, is back with the junior club after two years at Butte College in California.

“He’s a great young man who will have a chance to compete for a spot with us, at running back, at slotback and returning kicks,” said Beatty. “He’s an experienced guy who can work into our lineup.”

Kick off Saturday at the Apple Bowl between the Sun and Rebels is 7 p.m. @capnewsports

Stapleton gets a win first time out Two members of Kelowna’s Silent Tiger Martial Arts returned home from Richmond earlier this month with some hardware in their possession.

Stapleton placed first in the black

belt under-18 Chinese forms and is now the 2014 world champion.

“Even more impressive may be that this was only his second time competing,” said Chad Genereux, an instructor at the martial arts school.

Hill pvlaced second in men’s under black belt sparring and No. 5 in Men’s

Forward Liam Blackburn and the West Kelowna Warriors will open the 2014-15 season this weekend at the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack.

Building chemistry early key for Warriors success Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

A work in progress.

That’s head coach and GM Rylan Ferster’s early assessment of the 2014-15 edition of the West Kelowna Warriors.

With no fewer than 12 new faces in the lineup this season, the jury is still out on what kind of a team Fertser will ice, as the Warriors prepare to open the new campaign this weekend at the BCHL showcase in Chilliwack.

“That’s something we’re still trying to figure out, it’s still early,” Ferster said when asked what his team’s trademark will be.

“We’ve been happy with our leadership group, the guys who we expect to lead us, when push comes to shove, they’ll need to show the way for us. We have a lot of new faces, so it will take time to build some chemistry and see how that unfolds.”

Returning goaltender Andy Desautels, veteran forwards Liam Blackburn, Jason Cotton and Jordan Masters, and defencemen Ryan Ivey and Mac Ferner will all be looked to be leadership this season.

Forwards Kade Kehoe and Josh Bly—both from Saskatoon—are a pair of newcomers who impressed Ferster in the pre-season and could play a key role in the Warriors’ early season

success.

As for the nowcompleted exhibition schedule, the Warriors went 1-2-1-2, earning four of a possible eight points— pretty much the outcome Ferster thought his club deserved.

“That’s about what it felt like, like we were a .500 team,” Ferster said. “For the last four games, when we had most of our team, we were able to get a bit of an idea what we have. I thought the jump was good, the structure was OK, so we’ll go from there.”

As for his weekend’s

regular season openers at the BCHL Showcase—vs Coquitlam on Friday and Nanaimo on Sunday— Ferster said his team is anxious to get going.

“I think as players the guys are ready, they’re excited to play,” he said.

“We’ve had the extra week of training camp and two more exhibition games to prepare, so hopefully that will help us.”

The Warriors’ home opener is set for Friday, Sept. 26 when they host the rival Vernon Vipers, 7 p.m. at Royal LePage Place.

After a victory in their home opener on Saturday night, the Kelowna Chiefs will look to continue their good fortune at the friendly confines of Rutland Arena with a pair of KIJHL games this weekend.

Face off both nights at Rutland Arena is 7 p.m.

On Friday night in Summerland, the Steam took down Kelowna 6-2.

Ethan Rusnack and Kelsey Byrne tallied for the Chiefs in the loss.

Luke Kalenuik and Braeden Allkins also scored PP markers for the home side, while captain Anthony Ruggiero and Cole De Jonge added two assists each.

Goaltender Chris Turner was solid, turning away 39 shots in the Chiefs net.

After a disappointing loss on Friday, Ruggiero was happy with the way the club responded on Saturday.

“I see a lot of character on our team,” said Ruggiero, who was named

Chiefs’ captain this summer.

“It was a rough one Friday, but the good thing was, nobody pointed fingers.

Everyone needed to step and the guys did. We were a completely different team and that shows what kind of team we can be.” @capnewsports

The sixth annual Youth Exhibition Powwow at Okanagan College will showcase First Nation’s singing, drumming, dancing and colourful regalia in the Kelowna campus courtyard from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There will also be a traditional meal of bannock and deer stew offered to all guests and participants.

“The sharing of food is an integral part of our traditions,” said the Okanagan College Aboriginal access and services coordinator, Anthony Isaac.

“The elders coming to campus and blessing the food really highlights how important it is to the whole celebration.”

The serving of the meal has been made possible thanks to generous donations from the community, including Urban Harvest, SunRype and the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society, along with campus supporters, including culinary arts manager chef Bernard Casavant and indigenous studies professor Bill Cohen, among many others.

“It’s been a real community effort,” says Isaac.

A new initiative aimed at helping students is also launching at this year’s event. A 50/50 draw is being held in conjunction with the Okanagan College

Foundation. All the proceeds from the draw are earmarked for a new scholarship for Aboriginal students taking adult academic and career preparation programs at the college.

Visitors will also get to enjoy craft vendors selling authentic Aboriginal artwork, carvings, and beadwork, including Dorothy Clough and Marsha King of First Nation Crafts, Barbara Patkiw of Native Bead Works, and Morning Dove Hall ixastcawt, who makes jewelry from shells and antlers.

In addition, more than 200 youth from private band schools across the Okanagan, including sensísyusten House of Learning, Studio 9 Independent School of the Arts, Outma Sqilx’W Cultural School and OKIB K-7 Sqilxw Cultural Immersion School, have been invited to attend this year’s festivities.

For the fifth time, Richard Jackson brings his infectious energy as MC, Noel Ferguson reprises his role as ceremonial Whip Man —otherwise known as the arena director —and the invited drum troops are crowdfavourites Iron Mountain and Little Hawk.

“The powwow is a great chance to celebrate our youth, highlight the richness of who we are, and the strengths of our culture,” said Isaac.

Testimony reveals extreme danger of shots fired during car chase Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A split decision made two years earlier still haunts one of the witnesses testifying in Michael Ellis’s second degree murder trial.

“It’s chilling in hindsight.

At the time I didn’t realize the danger I put myself in…My children could have been orphaned,” said Michael James Scott, an onsite construction supervisor with the Ministry of Transportation, who chased after Ellis and two others as they allegedly led police on a wild, gunshot-punctuated trip from West Kelowna to the outer reaches of Vernon.

Scott got caught up in the chase in the early afternoon of July 31, 2012 when he was informed of a minivan blowing past a flagger a few kilometres away from his work site.

It didn’t take long for the van, believed to be carrying Ellis, Ashley Collins and Shawn Adam Wysynski, to reach his location and, as they passed, Scott decided to follow.

Scott told the court that Ellis and his crew had a head start, but traffic slowed their run down Westside Road and he was able to catch up as they were stopped by a line of vehicles parked facing toward West Kelowna.

Three people got out of the van at that point, and the driver approached a red truck parked in the line.

“He opened up the door and pulled (the driver) out,” Scott said, adding all three minivan occupants

then busied themselves transferring items from the minivan to the red truck.

Falling papers momentarily took Scott’s attention away from the events on the road, but when he looked up again there was a heavy set man with a dark complexion and stubble standing in front of his truck, pointing a short barrelled gun at him.

The burly gunman, who Scott identified as Ellis, fired four times forcing Scott to duck below the dash.

When Scott looked up, they’d all filed into their new ride, speeding down Westside Road again.

He remained close behind, trailing around 100 to 150 meters back, while someone from within the truck continued to fire shots at him. “I braked to put more distance between us,” he said, noting the second round of shots had more of a cracking sound compared to the thud of the initial round.

As the pursuit continued, the red truck maneuvered into a pullout and someone hopped out as it came to a rolling stop.

“I thought they were going to pull out and shoot more at me, and sure enough the driver took the shooting stance and continued to fire at me,” Scott said.

The gun used for the third round of shots appeared to have a longer barrel and the shooter used the truck for balance.

“I was quite a ways back, braking hard and putting the vehicle in reverse,” Scott said. “The tires were

almost howling because I was braking so hard…then flooring it in reverse.”

From start to finish that interaction took 15 to 20 seconds and, despite the risks he repeatedly faced, Scott kept shadowing the shooters.

As they stopped a third time, this time to steal a black truck, Scott kept back at a distance of 200 meters as a familiar series of events played out.

The only difference was that time, when a gunman set his sights on Scott, he didn’t fire.

“It was the calmest car-

jacking I’ve ever seen,” said Scott.

He followed after the carjackers yet again, although he stopped to see how their latest victim was faring.

When he deduced that he was fine, albeit shocked, he continued after the truck.

It eluded him, but when he came across RCMP officers on Westside Road, he assumed his target had pulled into a side road.

Surprisingly, he learned the Mounties at the side of the road had merely misplaced their keys. When the keys were found in the middle of the road, the

Mounties headed north on Westside Road, presumably in pursuit.

That’s when Scott decided to double back, and went to the work site where he first made contact with the minivan.

As he parked his car and started speaking with an RCMP officer, Scott learned that his truck had been punctured by a bullet and it was taken into evidence, and it seemed as though his role in the dangerous string of events had come to an end.

Three days later, however, Scott was back on site when

one of his flaggers pulled up on his motorcycle and showed him the sawed off rifle in his saddle bag that he’d just found.

Scott said he called the police, who took the gun into evidence.

Two years later, the whole thing still seems strange.

“It’s been surreal, it’s hard to believe this whole thing happened,” he said, noting that he really thought that the rounds being fired at him were from non-lethal weapons or BB guns.

Scott is merely one

among dozens that Crown Counsel Murray Kaay says were put at risk from the actions of Ellis and his two cohorts. In many cases, their testimony indicates that they believed they were in a hair’s breadth of harm.

Ellis faces 22 charges, five of which are attempted murder. The trial is scheduled to continue for several more weeks.

Collins, 21, and 34-yearold Wysynski, pleaded guilty to lesser charges in June and are expected to be sentenced in October. @KelownaNewsKat

business __________________________________________________________________ FINANCIAL ADVICE

Steps on how to determine the sale value of a business When you own your own company for a while, you start to wonder what it’s worth, how much you can sell it for.

Many business owners believe their business is worth more than it really is.

The reason for that is they look at their company from the inside out, naturally understating the risks and weaknesses and overstating the strengths and growth prospects.

Many business owners don’t consider what their

Behind The Counter GABRIELE BANKA personal involvement in the business is worth.

The concept of value to the current owner could also be the result of a sentimental attachment to the company, especially if the company was started from scratch and built up

2

over the years.

So building value in your company tip #1—don’t create a company that won’t be easy to sell because it’s dependent on you remaining with it.

Value has three different perspectives. There is the value to the current owner, the intrinsic value of the company as a standalone entity and the strategic value of adding your company to the buyer’s

existing operation.

The value of a company is based on its ability to generate cash flow now and in the case of the sale, more specifically in the future.

How are future cash flows determined? From the historical financial statements.

Building value in your company tip #2—make sure your historical financial statements are accurate.

When a professional valuates your business, they do it based on a concept of

fair market value.

This concept has some assumptions that probably don’t hold true in the real world. For example, that the transaction is completed via cash on closing, that neither party ‘has to’ transact, that the buyer and seller have the same knowledge and that the market is unrestricted and no buyer is excluded.

The reality is that many sales are completed using holdbacks, promissory notes, share exchanges,

salary buyout arrangements.

Perhaps the seller needs to sell due to health reasons and the buyer may need to buy to keep the industry flush.

The seller usually better understands their own business and the options available to it. Some buyers may be excluded due to timing, regulatory or access to financing issues.

When we talk about price, we also need to talk about liquidity, the ability to convert value into cash.

For example, it would take longer to convert a company that has inventory into cash, than it would for a company that only provides services.

Buyers may be looking for companies that are very liquid and don’t require a huge upfront investment to finance the assets purchased, and may pay a premium for these kinds of companies.

There are several ways of valuing a company and they are all subjective.

The most popular basis is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

Another step in the valuation process is that earnings need to be normalized. What this means is that valuation is normally based on the last five fiscal periods.

Sometimes during these periods events may have happened in the company that are not expected to occur in the future called ‘discretionary spending,’ so the valuator will isolate these events and adjust the earnings accordingly.

An example of this are the salaries paid out to

shareholders and related parties that were recorded to reduce taxable income.

Another example may be rental payments made for a building owned by the shareholder.

Perhaps the company’s books indicate obsolete or unused assets that are not required for the operation of the business.

When the earnings become ‘normalized,’ they can be thought of being similar to other companies operating in the same industry.

Building value in your company tip #3—keep discretionary spending isolated in the bookkeeping records and keep them to a minimum.

Once the earnings have been normalized and the EBITDA has been calculated, a valuation multiple is calculated to determine the possible value of the company.

These multiples can be influenced by several factors such as competitive advantage, revenue stability and diversification, management team, supply risk, competitive landscape, company size, growth expectations and capital expenditure requirements.

Building value in your company tip #4—focus on building those factors which will improve the valuation multiple that are controllable—competitive advantage, customer diversification, obtaining skilled employees, a history of sustained growth, and the ability to finance with debt rather than equity.

Call goes out for volunteers The BMO Okanagan Marathon is kicking off a volunteer drive in support of the 20th anniversary of this family fitness and active lifestyle festival.

More than 300 volunteers are needed to fill positions over the Thanksgiving race weekend, Oct. 11 and12.

All volunteers will take part in an orientation, receive a volunteer t-shirt, and celebrate at an appreciation party.

Rick Simpson and his partner Gael have been volunteers for over 30 year.

Both have recruited and managed volunteer activities themselves.

Last year, the Simpsons took part in the BMO Okanagan Marathon and they loved the experience.

“It’s the first time we ever participated in a marathon and it was wonderful to get out and see the runners close up and personal and be there to cheer them on,” said Rick.

“We appreciate how hard and grueling the race can be and we clapped and encouraged them every step of the way towards the finish line. It was an exhilarating experience

for us and one of the best events we have volunteered for and one of the best organized volunteer events we’ve participated in.”

Volunteer co-ordinator, Cindy LaRue says volunteers enjoy the atmosphere of race weekend. They can volunteer as individuals to help on race day as a course marshal or help out at a water station, or in advance of the race in runner support services.

“We have also established a Volunteer-In-Kind program for local charities that helps build awareness of their organization while they provide volunteers to support this community event,” LaRue said.

Businesses, clubs, sports teams, or not for profit groups can also get on board by sponsoring a water station.

“It’s a great way for sponsors to raise their profile in the community by wearing company t-shirts and by letting runners know they are there to show support on behalf of their group.

There is no cost to sponsor a water station and all supplies and training are provided,” said LaRue.

The BMO Okanagan Marathon has an event for everyone—from the recreational, advanced and competitive runners to children and adults.

Every registered participant will receive a BMO Okanagan Marathon Bag, along with a t-shirt and a finisher’s medal. The race is ideal for groups to build team spirit while also raising money for a great cause— The Sunshine Foundation of Canada (www.sunshine.ca/).

To volunteer for the BMO Kelowna Marathon please register on-line by visiting the website okanaganmarathon.volunteerhub.com Anyone wishing to help who doesn’t have access to a computer, or if you have questions, please contact volunteer coordinator, Cindy LaRue via the volunteer hotline: 250-681-5895.

An honorarium is also available for service clubs or sports programs that bring 10 or more volunteers.

For more information, contact the volunteer coordinator by emailing cindy.larue@21one.ca.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Finally an end to the frustrating teachers’ strike It’s very good news that the B.C. government and the B.C. Teachers Federation have come to a contract agreement. If teachers vote to ratify it on Thursday, it appears students will be back in school by possibly Monday, Tuesday at the latest.

Credit for the settlement rests primarily with veteran mediator Vince Ready, who was able to get two very entrenched sides to bend enough that they could come to an agreement.

On his first attempt, neither side was willing to budget and he quickly determined it was a waste of his time to remain involved for the moment.

Obviously something happened while he waited for a more conciliatory tone from both sides, likely caused by the growing frustration of parents, which were largely favouring neither side, but simply wanted classes to resume.

The BC Teachers’ Federation and the government deserve credit for finally getting down to brass tacks, after far too many false starts in the past several months.

The agreement will not resolve the court cases over the 2002 contract stripping by the BC Liberal government, which was the underlying issue which kept the two sides far apart.

That matter will go to the B.C. Court of Appeal next month, after two B.C. Supreme Court judgments that went against the provincial government.

Hopefully, that matter will be settled sooner rather than later, but given the glacial pace of court proceedings and the likelihood that the Court of Appeal decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, a final resolution on class size and composition in B.C. schools is still years away.

From the beginning, this strike was all about the students, and the quality of their education in our public school system, according to both the teachers and government. Given how this dispute unfolded, most parents will and should now look to teachers and the provincial government to live up to prove the integrity of those statements through their actions.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Changes ahead for city politics Kelowna city council is not only going to look different next year, it’s also going to act ALISTAIR differently.

WATERS With two longtime stalwarts— Councillors Robert Hobson and Andre Blanleil—missing from the council table next year, Gerry Zimmermann off riding his horse and tractor instead of sitting at a council desk, Walter Gray enjoying his retirement from political life and current Coun. Colin Basran either sitting in Gray’s old chair or re-adapting to life outside politics, there will be plenty of openings for new faces at the council table.

Factor all that in with the arrival of the first municipal political party in Kelowna, the three-candidate Taxpayer First party, the new four-year terms and other rule changes for candidates and, as Bob Dylan once wrote, the times they are a changin’.

But while the council vacancies are a done deal, the election of former councillors Carol Gran and Graeme James, along with newcomer Dale Olson under the Taxpayer First banner is far from a slam dunk. After all, Gran was endorsed

by FourChange in 2011 as one of four candidates expected to easily win election and she was the only one who failed to do so. James, an incumbent councillor three years ago, also failed to get re-elected.

This time, running on a platform that calls for a four-year tax freeze, the trio will have to convince voters that shortterm gain for potential long-term pain is worth it. While the trio cites plenty of “fat” at city hall that can be trimmed to make up the loss of tax revenue, opponents can point to other nearby jurisdictions that have tried the taxation free lunch approach that resulted in some spectacular failures.

Mayor Walter Gray reminded the public of that failed experiment in Vernon Monday when he listed off rising crime stats there, when no police resources were added during that tax-freeze period.

In Vernon, at the end of the multi-year residential property tax freeze, residents found themselves staring down the barrel of a proposed tax hike of more than 20 per cent.

But while talk of a four-year tax freeze here may be a votegetter in some circles, without help from other councillors and whoever becomes mayor, the trio—if elected—will need help to deliver on their promise. At least five votes are needed for anything to pass at council and will any newcomers want to jump on the no-tax bandwagon? It’s unlikely any returning councillor would vote for such a move as there has been no appetite—at least publicly—by the current crop of councillors for a freeze.

Meanwhile, the loss of Hobson and Blanleil will likely be a difference maker for the next council. The two longest serving councillors at city hall will be missed as much for their knowledge as their respective positions on issues. While Hobson has been seen as more left-leaning and cautious about development during his 26 years on council, he has placed a strong emphasis on environment, conservation and heritage. Blanleil has been viewed by many as staunchly right-of-centre, pro-development and pro-business. But if you ask them, the pair will say they have each moved more to the centre over the years and are now much closer to each other politically than they once were.

November 15 will likely bring out the usual large contingent of candidates vying for council seats. But voters won’t hear from two of the most effective voices on council over the last 20-plus years.

And that will be a loss for the city as a whole.

WE FIT EVERYONE!

Off to school, and to court Whatever cease-fire emerges from the latest round in the war Victoria News for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed.

TOM Lawyers for the provincial FLETCHER government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation removing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association.

When B.C. Supreme Court justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again. The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactively for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated.

The government says that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, pushing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was removed.

Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision would look like.

Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to changing conditions.

“According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitlements but cannot remove them over the objections of the union without violating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s submission says. “On the BCTF’s theory, collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity.”

What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP government that handed the keys to the treasury to public sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And when mandated minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip

ladIEs sIzEs 5-12

weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants.

BCTF’s lawyers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law. Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling.

For instance, there have actually been two negotiated deals since 2002.

The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help of mediator Charles Jago.

The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate.

The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services.

Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care.

“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”

It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so.

Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.

Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

LASER PODIATRY TREATMENT

Drivers think air bags will spare them injury To the editor: Re: Sept 11, 2014 “More Detailed Accuracy for Car Accident Injuries” in Achieving Justice column

by Paul Hergott.

Mr. Hergott deserves our congratulations for having the intestinal fortitude to call out the media in “Happy Ville.”

As someone who has experience as an insurance agent and financial planning consultant for the past 20 years, I recognize the perception that media gives the public on the issue referenced.

With respect to police commentary at scene or from reports, is the editor suggesting that police are offering “medical diagnosis” that the reporter then refers to? At the same time, are insurance companies referring to police reports that include references to sustained injuries, internal and external, made by first responders?

Disability insurance claims are significantly more comprehensive in nature. Some side effects from accidents are not only physical, but emotional as well.

I am in full agreement with Mr. Hergott’s assertion of the correlation between how serious we perceive car crash consequences to be and the level of care we take behind the wheel. From my perspective the feeling is that the more air bags we have, or all-season tires, we [think we] are safe from our own behaviour. Technology cannot save us from lack of common sense.

BC Liberals’ LIF for schools is not enough To the editor: Over the past few years, each year the BC Liberal government has allotted approximately $75 million to be spread throughout BC schools.

This money is allocated prudently by school administrators, usually with input from teachers,

for EAG (educational assistant) support and/or resource room support.

Unfortunately, the amount of money, once divvied up between about 1,700 BC schools, barely scrapes the surface; the needs of the schools far exceed the amount allotted.

For example, if a school with a population of about 350 students is given about $35,000 from the spread-thin Learning Improvement Fund (LIF), that school has to make one tough decision— use the money for one full-time EA or use the money for a part-time resource room teacher when both areas in most schools are lacking.

When the BCTF asks for $225 million it is only because that is the amount needed to make classrooms safe and manageable, given the number of designated/special needs students in the classrooms now and the lack of support for those students.

I am curious why no one is talking about the Individualized Education Program (IEP) which is the formal document written up for designated students which clearly outlines what is needed in the classroom so the child will have success.

Those needs cannot be met with overcrowded classrooms, too many designated students in one class and the lack of support for that student.

Having more EAs in the classroom is not a fix as they take up more space and more time for the teacher. Making sure the students’ needs are being met is.

Ask candidates about Kelowna fossil fuel use To the editor: On September 14, Burlington, Vermont, announced that it had succeeded in harvesting 100 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources such as wind, water and biomass.

The city of 42,000 did so cost effectively, and became a proud member of the Washington Electric Co-operative, which reached 100 per cent earlier this year.

On September 21 at the People’s Climate

March in New York City, and at solidarity events throughout the world, folks will be hitting the streets to demand the world that we know is within reach, a world with an economy that works for people and the planet; a world better positioned to survive the ravages of climate change; a world with good jobs, clean air and water, and healthy communities.

On November 15, local men and women will be vying for seats on Kelowna’s city council. If we ask those candidates just one question before we mark our ballots, it ought to be: What do you plan on doing to liberate Kelowna from using power produced by environmentally harmful fossil fuels, and when?

CENTRAL OKANAGAN LAKE COUNTRY

Lakestone marina proposal downsized Kevin Parnell

The single biggest development in the history of Lake Country has changed its plans for boat moorage on Okanagan Lake in front of what will eventually be home to some 1,300 residential units.

The Lakestone development is now proposing to build a 21-buoy moorage facility, a sharp downsizing from its original plans to build a full size marina that would include room for 105 boats.

According to the District of Lake Country, the change in plans came about due to various factors including parking in the area and after strategy sessions with municipal councilors.

The project is owned by MacDonald Lakeshore Properties. Until recently, MacDonald owned all of the land that it is building its development on.

But in July, the group dedicated the 350 metres of lakefront property to the District of Lake Country. That meant the

district would have to give its approval for any moorage system.

At Lake Country council’s Sept. 2 regular meeting, council heard about the changes and granted its approval, sending the proposal to higher levels of government for final approval.

While the councilors were concerned about the impact of the buoys on the public beach area near Lakestone, they were told that the buoys will not impact access.

“For the most part the moorage system is not in front of the public beach,” said Mark Koch, Lake Country’s director of community services.

“It’s an interesting series of regulatory issues for a moorage buoy system. The fact the district is now the foreshore upland owner does provide the district with some entitlement.”

According to a report to council, the moorage buoy system will have less of an impact on Okanagan Lake than the

original marina plan.

Koch said it will reduce the potential for water intake problems, lessen the impact on the lake bed from a fish spawning perspective and also decrease the visual impacts on the area.

Lakestone is now into its second phase of construction with a planned 1,365 units to be built over the entire project. The project is the largest single development to be on the books in Lake Country.

Protect your home and belongings As the weather begins to change, harsh conditions once again become a real possibility.

Are you doing all you can to protect your home? Here are some often-overlooked dangers that homeowners can and should prepare for: Every major new purchase changes your protection picture A recent Western Financial Group study found that millions of Canadian have no idea what the contents of their home are worth and that very few have a strong grasp on what coverage they have or what special limitations there may be on their policy in short, they are vulnerable.

“Most people have neither taken the time, nor accessed the tools to determine what their contents are worth,” says Denise Lang, a regional vice-presi-

dent with Western Financial Group.

“Yes, they probably have some type of contents insurance, although they lack an accurate picture and this means they may not be properly protected.”

It is essential to work with a trusted broker to make sure you have appropriate coverage. Moreover, if you make any significant purchases (like a wedding ring or piece of art) you should update your policy immediately.

Long-term vacancy can lead to long-term repercussions Each year when the cold weather arrives, many of us go south leaving our homes unoccupied for weeks, even months. This, too, can affect your insurance protection.

A property left vacant for as little as four days may no longer qualify for all coverage under the policy.

To avoid risk, you should arrange for someone responsible to look in on your home and contents and, as always, you should advise your insurance broker of your absence and discuss any changes to your policy that may be required.

Beware of atypical weather damage When we walk out our front doors, many of us immediately do a mental checklist of things we might have forgotten: “Did I turn off the stove?”

“Is the back door locked?”

“Did I close the windows?”

While this type of worrying seems comical, it matters.

Aside from the obvious (like a fire or break-in), a seemingly minor oversight like leaving windows open can lead to water damage to the interior of your home in a rainstorm, which is not typically covered by policies.

With the pending return of fall and winter coupled with harsher weather conditions, homeowners need to access if what might or can be done to help protect your house.

CONTRIBUTED

“With the heavy rains we’ve seen in the last few years, small incidences of negligence have become more and more common. Closing

a window can really mean the difference of thousands of dollars,” Lang explains.

“Additionally, most policies don’t cover seepage, so you

should talk to your broker if this is a risk.” You can never prepare for every eventuality, but you can do your best to safeguard your

home against an array of often-overlooked dangers.

Okanagan water consumption is 675 litres of water per person per day compared to the Canadian average of 329 litres.

The excessive use all occurs during the months when we irrigate our lawns.

Now is a great time to start planning and working toward changing your current landscape.

Water-wise gardening (xeriscaping) can greatly reduce labour in the garden making it an enjoyable life-enhancing pastime for all ages rather than a dreaded chore.

Xeriscape landscapes are colourful and attractive.

With the diversity of water-wise plant species available, almost any style of gardening is possible.

home Plan of the Week

Thank you for making us your #1 consumer choice winner for 4 years running.

When you buy from Budget Blinds you buy with confidence.

A Charming Bungalow A charming bungalow with a wood-burning fireplace in the great room, this three-bedroom family home includes a covered deck overlooking the back garden, as well as plans for an unfinished basement.

Once through the covered entry into the foyer, a dining room with a decorative tray ceiling is on the right, separated from the foyer by a half-wall, while on the left is the U-shaped staircase to the unfinished basement.

Directly ahead, through an archway, is the spacious greatroom complex, which includes a fireplace and an eating nook, with a doorway onto the back deck that will make outdoor meals easy during the warmer months. The formal dining room, which overlooks the front garden, is separated from the kitchen by another archway.

The kitchen is divided from the dining room by a built-in pantry, as well as a prep island, and boasts an efficient L-shaped counter configuration. A window over the double sink will allow in plenty of natural light.

The master suite, located at the back of the home for privacy, includes an en-suite with an oval soaker tub with its own window, as well as a shower stall. Double basins will ease the morning rush hour, and the walk-in closet is roomy enough for a couple’s clothing and accessories.

The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bath, which also serves as a noise buffer between them.

The double garage has access to home through the laundry room and is large enough to accommodate a work bench.

Clad in vertical board-andbatten siding, the facade also has decorative woodwork and shingles in the gables. Windows are mullioned, and the pilasters that flank the front entrance have brick bases, echoing brick accents near the garage door and under the third bedroom’s windows.

Timmy’s brings a smile with cookies Tim Hortons is bringing more smiles to the Central Okanagan with the kickoff of the annual Smile Cookie campaign.

All this week, Tim Hortons patrons can purchase a freshly baked chocolate chunk Smile Cookie for $1 at participating restaurants throughout the Okanagan Valley, with 100 per cent of the proceeds proudly donated by Tim Hortons franchise restaurant owners to support the YMCA Strong Kids Healthy Snack Program.

“The Smile Cookie

campaign has continuously been successful year after year thanks to our loyal guests for their kindness and support,” said Chris Chapman, a Kelowna Tim Hortons restaurant franchisee.

“We are honoured to support the YMCA Strong Kids Healthy Snack Program with all of the proceeds raised and to share smiles with all of our dedicated Guests.

“Stop by a restaurant this week and purchase your freshly baked Smile Cookie to support a great cause.”

Tim Hortons restaurant

owners and customers in Kelowna generously donated more than $30,000 for the YMCA Strong Kids Healthy Snacks Program last year.

What began as a way to fundraise for the Hamilton Children’s Hospital in Ontario in 1996, has grown into a major fundraising event across North America.

In 2013, the Smile Cookie campaign raised $5 million across Canada and the United States.

Nationally, Tim Hortons restaurant owners support more than 500 local charities through the

campaign.

New this year, Canadians can share their Smile Cookie Selfies with friends and family.

Simply take a picture of yourself with your delicious Smile Cookie then share via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using #SmileCookie.

Dealing with carpal tunnel Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common wrist Keeping You and hand injury. Moving It occurs when one of the major ADAM nerves called the BERNARD median nerve is compressed within the carpal tunnel of the wrist.

This may occur for a number of reasons but some of the more common reasons include: pregnancy, gout, trauma (repetitive or direct trauma), or infection.

While carpal tunnel can happen at anytime, it is more common between the ages of 40 to 60 and women tend to be affected more often then men, characterized by burning wrist pain and numbness or tingling within the hand. This often occurs at night and the patient usually wakes up due to the symptoms. In some cases, the pain can radiate to the forearm, elbow, and shoulder.

Some of the other symptoms reported by patients include poor sensation in the hand, weakness of the hand, cramping in the hand, reduced temperature in the hand, and sometimes shaking or flicking the hand relieves the symptoms. There may also be muscle wasting around the thumb. Movements of the hand are often pain free, however some resisted movements around the thumb can be painful.

Diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome is often done based on the patient’s medical history. Your physiotherapist or physician will take you through a series of tests and if carpal tunnel syndrome is suspected a nerve conduction test may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. Diabetes should be excluded, as it can be a risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome. Mild cases can be treated conservatively.

This may include splinting, activity modification, diuretics, and NSAID medications. Techniques such as contrast baths, which are alternating baths of cold and warm water, may be used in some cases to control inflammation and swelling.

A physiotherapist may give you specific exercises that can be helpful with a patient’s recovery. For more persistent or severe cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery may be required. Wrist and hand injuries are often difficult to diagnose so if you are experiencing symptoms of this nature it is recommended that you see your health care professional to have it taken care of.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

When I was in my early 20s, I joined up with my dad, mom and brother Al to run the family business which my grandfather had started originally in 1922.

Part of my job was to speak to groups about gardening which is still an activity of mine today.

On one such occasion, I was speaking to the Westbank Senior Citizens Association in their brand new facility on the Old Okanagan Highway.

I believe my topic was just general spring gardening From The and the subject Ground Up of pruning was dominant.

I was still DON BURNETT relatively new to my career and was a long way from earning my certification in arboriculture, so these talks more often than not became learning sessions for me as much as they were for my audience.

One of the questions from the floor concerned the bleeding that happens when walnut trees are pruned in the spring: Is it harmful and is there something that can be done about it?

My answer came from personal experience as I often found certain species such as walnuts, cherries, grapes and others tended to drip profusely after a dormant spring pruning.

I replied this was a common occurrence and it didn’t seem to affect the health or productivity of the plant, which is the same answer I would give today.

But back then during a short coffee break, I was mingling about and a little elderly gentleman approached me. He said he had many years of experience working with walnuts and he agreed while there was little to worry about regarding the bleeding, he suggested I might offer a little hint to gardeners who just can’t stand the thought of their walnut tree bleeding like a wounded soldier.

That advice wa to wait until there is about three to four inches of new growth happening before pruning and there will be little if any bleeding.

I have always appreciated and respected the advice of people senior to me so I thanked him and politely asked him his name. He promptly answered Mr. Gellatly.

Now I’m not sure which Mr. Gellatly it was but I would guess it was Bill as his brother Jack had passed away in the late 1960s.

Regardless I received this pruning tip from the authority because the Gellatly family, beginning with David Erskine Gellatly who purchased 320 acres now known as Gellatly Point in 1900, was instrumental in developing and producing hardy nut varieties known all over the world.

The remaining portion of the property is now a Heritage Park and every fall they organize a Harvest Festival.

This year, the festival takes place Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be 45 vendors, barbecue, bake sale and fallen nuts to pick up from the ground.

Rico Thorsen, an expert on budding and grafting, will be in attendance for two hours at the tree tent.

I will be there as well to answer gardening questions and you just never know; I may run into someone who throws me a garden tip new to me just like what happened 40 years ago at the Seniors Activity Centre.

Tune in Saturday mornings, 8 to 10 a.m., to the Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 News Talk Sports.

KNOX, (GORDON) COLLEEN GAIL Colleen left us on the morning of September 11th, after squeezing every last ounce of enjoyment out of her life. She was cherished by a vast array of family, friends, students and associates. Colleen leaves behind her partner of 47 years, Donald, and her daughter and best friend, Caitlyn. She leaves siblings Kenn (Deb) Gordon; Kathy Hrynuik; Cameron (Sherri) Gordon; in-laws Liz Franzen and Rod Knox and nieces and nephews, Kelsey (Ryan) Corbett, Mackenzie (Kaitlin) Gordon; Justin and Selena Hrynuik; Parris, Phoenix and Fox Gordon; Tony (Jenn) Franzen; Kylie and Joe Knox; and Kristy (Joel) Colpron.

Thanks and appreciation goes out to the incredible team at the Cancer Centre of the Southern Interior, with special thanks to the nursing staff in the chemo room and to Dr. Susan Ellard and Dr. Gillian Fyles. Gratitude also goes to the Palliative care team who gave incredible technical and emotional support over the last month.

The Celebration of her life will be held at 11am, September 20th at Trinity Baptist. In lieu of flowers, donations to Ovarian Cancer Canada, the Central Okanagan Bursary Society, BC Cancer Foundation, the Cancer Clinic of the Southern Interior (CCSI) or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. (See the full version of her obituary online.)

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
