City, CUPE agree to 5-year contract

The arrival of the first snowfall at Big White Ski Resort last weekend coincided with a job fair co-hosted by the ski resort and the Big White Chamber of Commerce which offered jobs to more than 600 applicants over the last two days. The applicants were from a number of countries including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. “I’m amazed at where people come from on a working holiday visa and the talent that they want to share with the season’s pass holders and guests at Big White Ski Resort,” said Michael Ballingall, Big White senior vice-president.

Aloha, Keloha: Another festival bites the dust Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna’s popular indie music festival won’t return to the shores of Okanagan Lake this summer, but that’s not to say locals will be faced with the sound of silence on its regular weekend.

“We have kept Keloha’s dates for 2015, and we’re working on changing the concept and bringing back an event,” said Scott Emslie, owner of Wet Ape productions.

“We are still in the preliminary stages of

coming up with some concepts that might work in Kelowna on that weekend—but they’re very preliminary.”

The event has been losing money for three years running, and that’s prompted Emslie and his crew to shift their focus onto what has historically been the most financially viable offering in WetApe’s slate of productions, Center of Gravity.

“That’s the biggest event we do throughout the year, and we want to make sure that’s our

priority,” he said.

And, while Center of Gravity may be prioritized, Emslie and his team have yet to officially commit to it, either, due to ongoing financial issues.

“It’s been driving the business, but this year it was in the red, too,” he said The trouble, from Emslie’s point of view, appears to be onerous costs associated with holding festivals in the city.

“I think, and hope, there is potential for festivals to do well in

Kelowna. But there’s a large cost associated to bringing these events here,” he said, noting that Kelowna is on the more expensive side, when compared to other cities.

Some of the most onerous costs downloaded to festival promoters who head to Kelowna come from security demands.

For example, the bill for RCMP at the Center of Gravity site came in at around $60,000 this year.

For the Center of Gravity house, an after

party at the curling club, the cost for RCMP was an additional $10,000.

To have bylaw officers tour the area, the festival was on the hook for $7,500 more, BC Ambulance was a $12,000 cost and park rental fees were an additional $25,000.

All those costs are just what it takes to be in Kelowna. Lining up talent, musical and sport, and all other elements are completely separate.

“We want to have a good working relationship with the City of Kelowna,

but these costs need to stay manageable so we can continue to operate,” he said.

“We’re not making a request for assistance, but we need to make sure (the city) is committed to keeping costs reasonable.”

Emslie, who now lives in Vancouver and is part owner of the Imperial on Main Street, will be in town Thursday to make a more concrete statement about the Center of Gravity event.

Council: Long weekend no place for Center of Gravity Alistair Waters awaters@kelonwacapnews.com

Organizers of the Center of Gravity Festival may want to return the event to the August long weekend after moving it back a week last year, but the city is digging in and saying no.

Following presentation of a staff

report on the 2014 edition of the festival to city council Monday, both staff and council made it clear the city feels the move to the last week of July was the right one and it has no desire to move the festival back.

“I’ve talked to tourism officials and business people and they all say it was right to move it off the (B.C. Day) long-

weekend,” said Coun. Andre Blanleil.

The long-weekend at the beginning of August is already one of the busiest in the city.

While several councillors and the mayor praised organizer Wet Ape Productions for how it runs the music and sports festival, which attracts a mainly younger crowd of twenty-

somethings, they pointed to a report on the 2013 festival that recommended changes be made, including moving it off the long-weekend.

In a bid to keep City Park open for the community on the long weekend,

The City of Kelowna’s unionized workers have agreed to what is being called an historic five-year collective agreement that calls for an overall 8.5 per cent wage increase The agreement is effective Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec.31, 2018.

“This historic fiveyear agreement provides fair compensation for employees while enhancing service and operational flexibility,” said Stu Leatherdale, City of Kelowna director of human resource and corporate performance.

“The annual increases are in line with collective agreements of similar length reached by other smaller Okanagan municipalities and will help to ensure the City of Kelowna can attract and retain the diverse and skilled work force we’ll need over the next five years.”

“The new agreement balances the needs of CUPE Local 338 and the City of Kelowna,” added Lee Mossman, CUPE 338 president. “Our members’ vote of 95 per cent is a strong endorsement of an extended agreement that allows our members to continue to j6 take pride in delivering high quality municipal services that contribute to an excellent quality of life for our citizens.”

The new agreement will see an increase of two per cent in 2014, 1.5 per cent in 2015, 1.5 per cent in 2016, two per cent in 2017 and 1.5 per cent in 2018.

CUPE 338 consists of about 650 members representing about 75 per cent of the City of Kelowna’s workforce.

news _____________________________________________________________________ ALLEGED BOMB THREAT

Alberta man faces charges for WestJet flight delay Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

An Alberta man currently residing in Summerland faces a slew of charges for his role in waylaying a domestic flight headed out of Kelowna International Airport.

Michael Joseph Howells was charged Monday with uttering threats, public mischief, possession of a controlled substance, endangering aircraft by false information and mischief.

He was held in custody and is expected to appear in court again Oct. 2 Howells got himself embroiled in what was

initially deemed a “bomb threat” Sunday.

Just after noon on Oct. 25 Mounties received a report of a possible threat related to an outbound flight set to depart from Kelowna International Airport.

“The aircraft was inbound at the time of the report and, as a precaution, was diverted to a secure location away from the terminal for the ongoing safety of the public, airport personnel, and the facility,” said Const. Kris Clark.

“The luggage of the outbound flight was also isolated away from the terminal building.

Both the luggage and

passengers were searched but nothing of concern was located.”

Except, perhaps, for Howells. He was handcuffed in the middle of the Kelowna International Airport terminal and led away

by RCMP officers around 2:30 p.m., two hours after the plane intended to be used for the Calgary flight landed in Kelowna from Edmonton.

Clark said that it was out of an abundance of caution, and for the purposes of the investigation, that the flight was isolated and the passengers and their luggage searched.

Kelowna RCMP usher suspect away from the Kelowna airport terminal after a flight bound from Kelowna to Calgary was grounded and searched following the report of a possible threat related to the plane. was never subject to the threat and police believed the aircraft and the passengers of that flight were never in danger,” said Clark.

“The RCMP would like to thank the affected passengers for their patience and cooperation during this difficult situation.”

On Saturday, Kelowna airport director Sam Samaddar said as a safety precaution, the plane later flew from Kelowna to Calgary with only the flight crew on board. The Calgarybound passengers were accommodated on other later flights.

He said at no time was there a threat to the airport terminal or anyone inside and the airport continued to

operate throughout the incident with just a few flights delayed. But as precaution, the plane, when it arrived from Edmonton, was diverted to the end of the runway.

There, the passengers from Edmonton were kept on board for two hours while their bags and the bags that were to be loaded on for Calgary were checked by the bomb-sniffing police dog.

Some of the arriving passengers were angry about the delay they faced in getting off the plane and the fact they were kept on the plane during what they believed was a bomb threat.

They were eventually transferred to buses and driven a short distance away from the plane, but had to stay on the buses

for another hour.

“The first indication we had that there was a threat came from the captain,” said passenger Steve Vadnais, of Edmonton.

Vadnais said passengers, who he described as wellbehaved and orderly despite their frustration, were concerned when they were locked in the plane but could see police officers and airport staff “standing around outside talking and laughing.”

He said he was told there were 186 people on board the flight from Edmonton. Samaddar said the Calgary flight was supposed to have 98 passengers on board.

He said the airport has emergency protocols in place to handle threats

such as the one Saturday afternoon and they were activated and ran properly.

The threat to the Calgary fight came amid heightened security at the airport in light of last week’s shooting of a Canadian soldier in Ottawa.

For a time Saturday afternoon, anyone leaving the airport terminal had to show identification.

The terminal was also hosting a travel expo at the time so there were more people in the terminal than normal.

When the threat was received, emergency personnel were ordered to stand by.

“We have a few different projects going now, however, the Center of Gravity is still the biggest festival we have,” he said.

If Emslie can’t figure out a way to keep it and the unnamed Keloha replacement going, the festival scene in the Okanagan could be

dramatically different in the year ahead.

South of Kelowna, in Penticton, Boonstock was played up to be a new yearly staple in the festival

deal with off-site problems such as public drunkenness, litter, and young people coming here to party without tickets for the event, the change in dates was made along with other changes to how the festival is staged.

While everything went well from the city’s point of view this year, for organizers the move was seen to have led, in part, to fewer people attending and a financial loss. That led Wet Ape principal Scott Emslie to suggest to the city the event be moved back to the August long weekend.

But council’s support for the status quo is based on what it sees as the success of several moves made by the organizers at the request of the city following the 2013 event—diversify the festival’s demographic to attract older event goers as well as young people, more of an emphasis on the sports activities, the use of more live music instead of DJs playing recorded music and more security on and off the event grounds in City Park.

Wet Ape paid and extra $26,000 for added security and clean-up crews off-site this year. “The result was it had the desired effect,” said Mariko Siggers, the city’s events development supervisor.

Wet Ape also stages the annual Keloha Music and Arts Festival, which goes two weeks earlier and is aimed at an older crowd (see story A3). That festival’s future is unclear because it does not make the promoters money.

While Mayor Walter Gray and councillors Colin Basran and Maxine DeHart both said they understood Keloha will be axed as of next year, Siggers said Wet Ape has asked city staff to reserve its July dates for 2015. But what they will be used for is unclear.

While the city, area residents and the police were generally happy with how Center of Gravity went off this year, according to Siggers, there are still challenges to be addressed.

Illicit drugs on the event site are still a concern, something Coun. Luke Stack said needs to be looked at. “I can’t help but be troubled about all the drugs,” he said, calling it a “huge” concern for the RCMP and local health officials.

About 20,000 people attended the festival this year over its three-day run, down from the 30,000 in 2013.

There were 35 musical acts this year and eight sports featured, several on the water. The sports attracted about 400 athletes. While 40 per cent of festival goers were from the Okanagan, another third were from B.C. and a final third were from Alberta.

Sentences vary for two involved in shootout Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Two of the three people who led Mounties down Westside Road on a high speed shootout in the summer of 2012 were sentenced this week, with

vastly different outcomes.

Crown counsel and defence lawyers for Ashley Collins, 20, and Shawn Wysynski, 34, offered Justice Peter Rogers joint sentencing submissions Friday morning, which he

accepted. And, as Rogers weighed in on the duo’s respective futures, he offered a few insights into how they found themselves before him and his views on their potential rehabilitation.

City in Action Public Hearing Notice is given that City Council will hold a Public Hearing on: Tuesday, november 4, 2014 at 6pm Kelowna city Hall, 1435 Water Street council chambers Council will hear representations from the public who deem an interest in the properties affected by proposed amendments to Zoning Bylaw 8000 for: Text amendment – cD18 Vintage landing comprehensive resort Development Zone Bylaw No. 11012 (TA14-0017) The applicant is proposing to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 8000 in order to make amendments to the Vintage Landing Comprehensive Resort Development Zone. Key amendments are as follows:

Collins.

She earlier pleaded guilty to knowingly being in a vehicle with illegal firearms, and for that was given a suspended sentence of 18 months and 18 months of probation.

It’s light compared to what she could have faced had Crown prosecutors not downgraded her charges so significantly.

Collins and her two companions took part in multiple car jackings over the course of a drug fueled car chase with police, and for that they all initially faced a slew of attempted murder and weapons charges.

As time went on, however, it became clear Collins played a much lesser role in the crime than her two companions.

Comments can be made in person at the public hearing, or submitted online by email to cityclerk@kelowna.ca, or by letter to the Office of the City Clerk, 1435 Water Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 1J4.

Presentations at the public hearing are limited to a maximum of five minutes. If a person has additional information they shall be given further opportunity to address Council after all other members of the public have been heard a first time. no representation will be received by council after the conclusion of the public hearing.

Correspondence, petitions and e-mails relating to this application must include your name and civic address. Petitions should be signed by each individual and show the address and/ or legal description of the property he or she believes would be affected by the proposal.

Correspondence and petitions received between October 23, 2014 and 4pm on Monday november 3, 2014 shall be copied and circulated to City Council for consideration at the public hearing. any submissions received after 4pm on Monday november 3, 2014 will not be accepted.

The public may review copies of the proposed bylaws, Council reports and related materials online at kelowna.ca/council or at the Office

of the City Clerk at City Hall from 8am-4pm, Monday to Friday, as of October 23, 2014 and up to and including November 4, 2014. inFO: 250-469-8645

kidney,” Justice Rogers said. “I have no doubt when she looks at that scar she will be reminded of the value of leading a productive life.”

Wysynski, on the other hand, has fewer future options, in Rogers estimation.

He pleaded guilty to one charge of armed robbery and one charge of attempted armed robbery, and was sentenced to nine years in prison, less time served, at Friday’s hearing.

Wysynski was seen at least once over the course of the chase menacing someone with a gun, although it’s unclear if he ever shot at anyone.

At the time of his arrest, he was wearing gloves, so it’s possible he

but had yet to rack up a criminal record.

The events of July 31, 2012, may just be the peak of her poor behaviour.

Sometime after she hopped into the back of the third and final vehicle that had been stolen from unwitting motorists that day, Collins was shot.

She lost a kidney, an early pregnancy and, simultaneously, found the drive for a better future.

It was “the worst day of (her) life, and the best day,” she’s told her parole officer.

As she recovered from her injuries, Collins detoxed from the drugs she became addicted to.

She’s since held down a steady job and has never gone back to using drugs and booze.

“As a result of her wounds, she lost a

Throughout the chase which started on Boucherie Road and continued to the Swan Lake side of Vernon, on Westside Road, she was seen hopping in and out of vehicles, seemingly at times encouraging the men to back away from the people they were terrorizing.

She was never seen handling guns, nor did she take part in menacing the many people encountered on the windy road.

Ultimately, Collins was depicted as a drug addled teen who chose to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The product of what Rogers characterized as “an uneven and unhappy childhood,” Collins had gotten in the swing of making poor decisions by the time of the shootout,

West Kelowna man survives early morning watery crash into Okanagan Lake Police say a 33-yearold West Kelowna man is fortunate to have come out of a crash unscathed after his van ended up in the Okanagan Lake early Saturday morning.

The West Kelowna RCMP received a report of a single vehicle crash on Highway 97 near Antlers Beach on Oct. 25 at 12:13 a.m.

“The driver, a 33-yearold West Kelowna man, was southbound on Highway 97 when something struck the driver’s side window with enough force to shatter the glass and penetrate into the vehicle,” said Const. Kris Clark.

“The sudden shock created by the impact, accompanied by flying glass and unknown debris caused the man to lose control, ending up in the lake. The driver was apparently uninjured and

managed to escape the vehicle before it was fully

submerged in water.”

The object that hit the

driver’s side window is believed to be a pumpkin.

never left a trace of the activities he partook in that day.

His history, however, doesn’t paint him as the type to stand back from the chaos that ensued.

“He’s made a living by stealing and being involved with drugs, from the age of 15 to July 31, 2012,” said Rogers.

“He’s never held a job, never been a productive member of society, and always been supported by theft… he’s a habitual criminal.”

That said, Wysynski has never been in a federal prison before, and his lawyer argued that drug and counselling programs there could go a long way to taking him off that path.

“Wysynski has no attachment to normal society,” said Rogers.

“It makes him difficult to deal with. I’m not optimistic that whatever programs available to him while he’s in custody will have a rehabilitative effect… but never say never. Mr. Wysynski may surprise us all.”

Now that Wysynski and Collins have been sentenced, the third party involved in the chase, Michael Ellis, can have his trial resume. He’s facing 22 charges, five of which are attempted murder. @kelownanewsKat

Opinion OUR view

Lessons learned from shooting There are three lessons to take away from last Wednesday’s shootings on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

The first one — one that played out in front of radio listeners and TV viewers throughout the day — is not to overreact. After Michael Zehaf-Bibeau shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and made a beeline for the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings, those tasked with security there did their duty. They tried to stop him at the main entrance. They followed the man as he headed down the Hall of Honour, near where the NDP and Conservative caucuses were meeting, and continued to exchange gunfire with him. Finally, Sergeant at Arms Kevin Vickers was able to fire at him and bring him down.

An investigation is underway, and it includes a detailed look at a video the shooter left behind. It is clear that the man felt disconnected from society and that he was at least influenced by messages from ISIS on social media. He also had been a crack cocaine addict. Beyond that, it is unclear what influenced him to take the actions he did.

The federal government needs to take the same approach — move slowly and not over-react. There is no need for drastic changes to laws which will impact on freedoms of ordinary people. There may well be a need for increased surveillance and perhaps a blocking of social media messages from known ISIS activists.The second lesson is that there is clearly a need for better security at the Parliament Buildings. Part of this may be due to a variety of forces being responsible for various aspects of security, but access to Parliament through the front door is too easy. If this had been a co-ordinated attack, there could have been enormous repercussions.

The third lesson is the need for all political parties to cooperate more often, as shown in Thursday’s extraordinary actions in the House of Commons. Parties can and should disagree — but they can also agree on many measures to make Canada safer and fight this new type of “lone wolf” terrorism.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Difficult birth for LNG cash cow Debate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and Victoria News environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre. Most media reported that the government “slashed” its TOM proposed seven-per-cent LNG processing FLETCHER income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia.

The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production.

All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles.

The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake.

China’s manic growth is slowing, and it has signed a long-term deal to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas. Oil prices have dropped. The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only current

export market.

“Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” the speech observed. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics.

The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed.

This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas.

The biggest source of revenue from this hopedfor plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question is whether there will be anything to share.

On one hand, the level of engagement is exactly what one would hope for in a democracy. An interactive question of the day at the online Capital News site shows that 83.3 per cent of respondents intend to go to an all-candidates meeting at some point during the election campaign.

While I don’t know the overall number of respondents, the percentage is intriguing.

On the other hand, a lot of the engagement has been bitterly antagonistic.

For instance, I attempted to lay out a prepared question at the first public meeting held by TaxpayersFirst, and only got to the part where I said the most recent contract for municipal workers had not even kept up with inflation when I was shouted down in a very particular way, as a union worker, as a paid provocateur.

From that point on, it was downhill.

There was not a sentence I was allowed to complete without disruption.

TaxpayersFirst candidates joined with the crowd to tell me to hurry up and ask my question, and, finally, to shut up, sit down,

and go away. The same antagonism spilled into the newspapers, where I was portrayed by one reporter and a whole host of mostly anonymous commentators as being, at best, a loud, unreasonable, provocative, feminist firebrand; at worst, a negative, nasty idiot undeserving of publication.

Since I do have the floor for a moment, blessedly free of obnoxious attacks, I will point out that after much waffling in their public statements on whether they would target unionized municipal workers and their collective agreements, TaxpayersFirst repeatedly waffled back and forth at their meeting, finally concluding they would impose a wage freeze the moment they took power.

It’s their intention to finance a tax freeze in two ways—through their wage freeze and through private-public partnership (P-3) project development.

On the first point, one member of the audience, an employment negotiator, warned they’d have to lawyer-up since their move would be illegal. Gran answered that the employment negotiator would know more about that than she.

On the second point, the only time P-3 projects cost the public less was before the financial crisis, when private financing could be obtained through largely unregulated financial markets.

These days, private borrowers can never borrow as cheaply as governments.

A 2012 study of 28 P-3 projects in Ontario showed that every one of them cost more than conventionally tendered contracts— on average 16 per cent more. TaxpayersFirst have clearly not done their homework.

It’s worth stating I don’t think there’s anything wrong with keeping a lid on taxes.

It’s how you go about it that counts.

For instance, the city has provided only anecdotal evidence to support their assertion that we need the new $48 million police services building, and has likewise failed to provide any hard evidence proving this was the most cost-effective option for creating more elbow-room for police officers.

Is there a politician in this town willing to call for a freeze on that project, an audit into it, and an investigation into less costly alternatives?

As another instance, the new council could choose to stand with the 83.6 per cent of B.C.’s municipal leaders surveyed who said federal and provincial downloading of costs onto local governments is a major problem for their community.

Will any of the candidates show such backbone if they’re elected to office?

Different storyline to bird saving tale To the editor: I am writing to tell your readers how shocked I am at the letter published last week (Saving a bird—Applause for SPCA, local roofing firm, Oct. 22, Capital News) written about apparently myself and my staff at Duffers Pub. First, I find it highly unprofessional that I was not contacted for a statement on the happenings of Oct. 10. The published letter is highly misinformed and I am appalled by the accusations of having an uncaring attitude to help.

My staff member, who is a female, informed me immediately of the woodpecker being stuck in siding of our roof when the two ladies brought it to her attention. It was the first I had been informed.

I myself am a female manager. Our only other male manager was not at the pub that

week due to vacation. There was no male manager and being our slow time of the day, I was able to get a handle on the situation immediately. On behalf of myself and staff, I can ensure there were no comments made about letting the bird die or “natural selection.”

Considering we are on the face of a golf course, comments like those could have been made by a golfer on the course at that time.

I made calls to the wildlife rescue which were not available, looked for information about wildlife rescue with the city nonemergency line and the Kelowna SPCA who would not come due to the liability issue if someone were to fall off our roof.

Due to the bird being stuck in the siding, I could not authorize the ladies husbands/ friends/volunteers to come and damage property not owned by Duffers pub or

Bad reputation for our city To the editor: With a twist on the Charles Dickens classic, Kelowna’s story could be called ‘Two Tales of One City.’ This stark reality hit home a few years ago, when a Vancouverite asked me where I was from. Having lived here for almost 40 years, I proudly replied “Kelowna,” with all the smugness that comes with being a resident of our perceived piece of paradise.

“Oh,” he replied. “You mean Surrey on the Lake.”

Wow! After the initial shock wore off, I had to admit that’s what we had become in the eyes of many onlookers. When did it all change? The end of the age of innocence was heralded with the Regatta riots of the mid-1980s, when rowdies clashed with riot police, turning our streets into a battle zone.

A decade later, biker gangs discovered that Kelowna was indeed a paradise, for all the wrong reasons. However, rather than take a hard line approach against the gangsters, as they did with the revelers, the civic leaders of the day adopted a laissez-faire attitude,

which had come to define the new reality.

Kelowna was “open for business” and the colour of their money was more important than the colour of their crests. Our decline since has become an embarrassment to us and a joke to the rest of the country.

A day rarely goes by with another survey giving Kelowna failing grades in serious crime, violence, domestic abuse,drugs, living standards and welcoming for business and people. While these disturbing trends should provide a reality check, we still have a disconnect, with civic leaders still touting the “Open for Business” mantra, confident in their ideology that mountains of bricks and mortar, surrounded by pastures of pavement will cure all that ails us. Ignoring the ‘inconvenient truth,’ the well meaning spin doctors can’t stop bragging about our lovely scenery, climate, wineries, golf courses as if they were responsible for nature’s blessings.

While it is true that government is a business: it is in the business of people.

Gunnar Forsstrom, Kelowna

become a liability issue if they were to injure themselves.

I myself am a loving fur-parent of two dogs, two cats and one snake. For myself to be projected with an uncaring attitude towards animals appalls me.

Not only do I have a soft-spot for wildlife, but I care about the safety of anyone who would attempt to go on our slanted roof.

After another call to the SPCA, the lady working/volunteering sent her husband who was a roofer and involved with the SPCA. There was no reluctance to finding someone to help the woodpecker, but the two ladies were impatient while I was searching for the help.

I look forward to hearing a response and explanation about the slanderous letter written about myself, our staff and our establishment, and expect my statement to be published with a retraction.

Murderer of Armstrong teen back in court kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

The man who brutally killed an Armstrong teenager he followed down a rural pathway Halloween night 2011, will be in court Friday to deal with lingering legal entanglements.

Matthew Foerster will be in court to deal with charges stemming from two incidents that took place before the Armstrong murder for which he’s already been convicted.

Foerster is facing charges of break and enter, assault and

unlawful confinement relating to a 2004 home invasion in Cherryville.

He is also charged with sexual assault and unlawful confinement in a 2005 incident involving a sex trade worker at Kelowna’s Garden of Eden.

He’d previously elected to have the matter tried by judge alone in the BC Supreme Court, but at his Friday court date his lawyer is expected to have the case moved back to the provincial level of court.

That could mean that a guilty plea is in the offing.

sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years for the murder of the Armstrong teen, Taylor Van Diest. He started the process to appeal that conviction earlier in the year.

Designated driver was too young A West Kelowna father learned that a 14-yearold is too young to be a designated driver.

On Oct. 22, police pulled over the driver of a rental car and his passenger at a traffic stop shortly before 11 p.m.

A Kelowna Integrated Road Safety Unit conducted the vehicle stop on a red Chevy Impala on Bartley Road near Capri Road.

The two occupants were the 14-year-old boy, from West Kelowna, and his father, for whom the boy was acting as an apparent chauffeur because his father was impaired.

The boy didn’t have a license because in B.C. you have to be 16 to qualify.

The boy received a violation ticket for no driver’s licence while his father was issued a ticket for allowing an unlicenced minor to drive.

RCMP ask for public’s help to solve 20-year-old’s murder Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

It’s been five years since Chris Hetu was shot to death under the cover of night in a Kelowna park, leaving lingering questions about the 20-yearold’s murder unanswered.

What is known to date comes from a mix of RCMP and eye witness testimony of the moments after the crime, but little has been released in the years

To commemorate the anniversary of his death, bring further attention to the case and gather new information RCMP this week issued a plea for information, and revisited those details.

Const. Kris Clark said Mounties responded to a report of a man down in Mill Bridge Park, Oct. 27 2009. “(Hetu) was found suffering from apparent gunshot injuries and was rushed to hospital but his wounds proved fatal,” said Const. Kris Clark.

He was last seen entering Mill Bridge Park at about 1 a.m. on a BMX bike via the Gordon Drive

Entrance, which is across from Brookside Avenue.

Within the next 15 minutes, it’s believed he met his end.

Witnesses heard three to five gun shots ringing out from the area of the park, where Hetu’s body was located.

A call had been made to 911, from a man who was riding his bike through the park on his way home from work. He saw someone lying in the grass, presumably passed out, and he said as much to paramedics.

When they arrived, it became clear that the man on the ground was suffering something much more significant,

as blood was seen on several areas of Hetu’s body. Below his rib cage the 911-calling witness claimed to see what appeared to be a bullet wound.

A handgun was collected near the scene, but it’s never been confirmed if that was the 9instrument of Hetu’s death.

Hetu, who had a checkered past, had relocated from Prince George to Kelowna not long before his death.

“Police believe that there are individuals in Kelowna and Prince George that have information about this murder and ask that they come forward to assist in identifying those responsible for Christopher’s death,” said Const. Clark.

A private reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for Hetu’s murder.

WETLAND STRATEGY

Restoration project launched for McLachlan Lake

CENTRAL OKANAGAN WEST ELECTORAL AREA – DIRECTOR & 2014 NOTICE OF ELECTION BY ACCLAMATION SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 23 (CENTRAL OKANAGAN) SCHOOL TRUSTEE, ZONE II

The first wetland restoration is underway as a result of the Okanagan Wetland Strategy.

The last posts to fence off McLachlan Lake or Slough, as it is colloquially referred to by those who frequent the north end of the Garnet Valley above Peachland, were put in on Tuesday in hopes the area will heal in the coming year, just as Ritchie Lake, in Summerland did, after a similar project.

“They don’t always come back, but what spurred us on in this case was that this is the first time the McLachlan Lake area has been holding water for many years,” said Bryn White, program manager for the South Okanagan-Similkameen Conservation Program.

It’s not known why the wetland is holding water again, but Okanagan Wetland Strategy project manager Jillian Tamblyn says several other wetlands which have run dry have recently started to hold water as well.

“The opportunity was there, and there had already been a lot of interest generated in doing the project, so we were able to get going quite quickly,” she said.

There are six projects slated to be among the first wetland restorations to come out of the three-year strategy. This project cost less than $10,000 and four workdays to execute.

The strategy is just entering the second phase, in which work will be done on the ground, after a year was spent inventorying wetlands up and down the valley.

The McLachlin Lake wetland was actually identified in provincial wetland data, but it has sustained significant damage from cattle and mud boggers in recent years, making it virtually impossible to recognize the original ecosystem.

By cordoning off the area with a fence, it’s hoped the cattle and recreational vehicles stay out, allowing time for plants to regenerate and wildlife to return.

There are significant penalties under the Forest and Range Practices Act—up to $3 million in restitution and three years in jail—but Tamblyn indicated most usually stay out of wetlands, if they’re clearly fenced off.

“When they haven’t been holding water for a very long time, then I think people don’t actually recognize it as being a wetland,” she said.

The wetland strategy is an Okanagan Basin Water Board project, in partnership with the BC Wildlife Federation and several local conservation groups.

Wetlands worldwide are threatened and, yet, considered vital ecosystems because they house incredible biodiversity. @jaswrites

TaxpayersFirst eyes regional district for spending savings Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

The five members of TaxpayersFirst finally their plan to fund the fouryear tax freeze they’ve promised in their election campaign.

Their target: The Regional District of the Central Okanagan.

Carol Gran, Graeme James, Dale Olson, Billie Aaltonen and Michael Gorman say with Kelowna paying nearly

SEE STORY www.kelownacapnews.com

80 per cent of the cost of the regional district because it is by far the largest municipality in the Central Okanagan, and because it holds a majority of the director positions on the CORD board, it could force through the changes that would see Kelowna save as much as $5 million per

year alone by streamlining its services.

The civic party claims many of the services it provides are being duplicated by member municipalities.

Much of the work done for the two unincorporated areas of the regional district– Okanagan East and Okanagan West—could be handled by Kelowna and West Kelowna, they say. But $5 million per year that could be saved

would not make up the amount needed to cover the loss in revenue to the city of no annual property tax increase.

So to cover a larger portion, TaxpayersFirst say they would take what they feel is the “underutilized” 10-acre site the regional district office building on KLO Road now sits on, as well as the land the Okanagan Regional Library building occupies next door and divide it up into as many

as six lots that could be sold off to developers.

The group brought out an artist’s rendering of a large, spiral building that could be built in stages, and would include new offices for the Okanagan Regional Library.

TaxpayersFirst says the city owns both the RDCO and the ORL sites.

Saying the city could realize as much as $30 million to $40 million from the sales of the sites, the group contends the

city would easily cover the cost of forgoing annual property tax increases for the next four years.

But when asked if members of TaxpayersFirst had talked to other RDCO municipalities, such as West Kelowna, Lake Country and Peachland, or even the regional district itself, James said only West Kelowna had been approached, and it was “interested.”

Stressing its no-tax increase plan would not cut any city services or programs, Gran and James—both of who have sat on Kelowna council in the past— said their plan show TaxpayersFirst is “thinking outside the box.”

Gran said she knows her party’s plan, or something similar, has been talked about at city hall behind closed doors in the recent past and she and her running mates were simply making it public. She added the move to reduce the size of the regional district

bureaucracy should have been made seven years ago when West Kelowna was incorporated.

Following incorporation, many RDCO employees did transfer over to the new municipality to handle the services formerly provided on the Westside by the province through the regional district.

Regional districts in B.C. are mandated by the provincial government and cannot be eliminated.

In the Central Okanagan, RDCO provides services to the entire area such as dog control regional parks, the regional hospital board, the water board, environmental programs like the SIR codling moth elimination program and others, but its role can be reduced if member municipalities are wiling to take on some of the services they provide, said James.

Changes ordered to reduce stench of Marshall Feedlot Jennifer Smith jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

The Farm Industry Review Board (FIRB) has set strict new guidelines for the Marshall Feedlot, now located near the Kelowna-Ellison border, after neighbours complained, a dog died and one of the Marshall sons lost consciousness from fumes on the property.

Owners Bill and Liz Marshall now have their sons—Tim, Don and David— running the operation and the trio have been ordered to hire pest management specialists to deal with a fly problem the cattle operation has caused for residents living in the Old Vernon Road neighbourhood. They have also been given a series of measures to improve the cow manure and urine stench emanating from the property, but will not have to scale back or shut down their lot as the complainants had hoped.

“The purpose is not to force farming out or neighbours out, (but) to find a balance between the parties and have the farms do what they can

to mitigate the odour,” said Jim Collins, executive director of the FIRB, which convened in Kelowna in January to hear the case.

The complaints were heard under section three of the Farm Practices Protection (Right to Farm) Act, which deals with odour, noise, dust and other disturbances, and stemmed from grievances raised by two neighbours.

Resident Dave Yunker filed a complaint with the tribunal in August of 2012, shortly after a dog owned by Tim Marshall had succumbed to what was believed at the time to be methane and hydrogen sulphur fumes.

Tim was also felled by the fumes and saved by one of his brothers with the fire department saying, at the time, both could have died.

Yunker’s complaint indicated the odour, flies and nuisance birds created by the cattle were impacting his ability to use his property. He has lived in the area for 20 years, whereas the Marshalls only moved their feedlot operation to their property in 2006, after struggling with similar neighbourhood issues running the

business off Enterprise Way. John Nurowskis, by contrast, moved to the area after the Marshalls started running their cattle operation on the property and said the feedlot’s fumes have made it impossible to work on his vegetablefarming venture, that the cows and manure have brought birds and insects he fears will hurt his crops, and the fumes create a serious health concern for his family.

Several residents from the neighbourhood also provided statements and testimony about concerns ranging from the birds to the insects to the smell, but the board ruled only the flies and the manure handling practices required the Marshalls to make changes.

After several farm and neighbourhood visits by knowledgable experts appointed by the board, the FIRB was satisfied the Marshalls operate largely within their legal limits, although the board did dicker with the amount of manure allowed to accumulate and its storage practices.

“It is an inescapable fact that farming

operations produce disturbances such as dust, odour and, in some cases, flies and nuisance birds,” the decision states. “It is unreasonable to expect a farm to eliminate all disturbances, especially when it is operating in an area designated for agriculture.”

The manure problems were determined to have been caused by letting bedding and manure mix over the years, and a gypsum product used on the site was thought to contribute to the hydrogen sulphur, which took down the dog and Tim Marshall. The board accepted that the piles had become too high as the Marshalls were not selling off enough manure or spreading it on their own fields.

They have since installed hydrogen sulphide monitors, as the result of a WorkSafeBC investigation on the dog matter, and the feedlot will now be run on a series of guidelines intended to have the manure used or cleared faster, with compost piles set back from the property boundaries.

Failure to comply with the orders outlined could

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and UBC Okanagan’s Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention is raising awareness of the link between smoking and breast cancer, through the Supporting Tailored Approaches to Reducing Tobacco (START) in a series of bus-bench advertising in Kelowna. Research shows that girls and young women are interested in information about breast cancer and how they can reduce their risk—but it often doesn’t include information about smoking and breast cancer. Pictured in the top photo supporting the initiative are UBCO staff members Gayl Sarbit, Laura Bissell with daughter Penelope, professor Joan Bottorff, and staff member Jacquetta Bernard. Getting behind the spirit of Breast Cancer Awareness last week were staff at the Kelowna Geotility office (lower photo). Project manager Steve Begley said if staff hit $100 fundraising mark, he wold wear a rather large pink bra for a full day last Friday to help raise awareness and funds, as he almost lost his mother-in-law to breast cancer four years ago. The staff raised more than $200. In the photo above are (from left) Barry Davidson, Rick Nelson, Steve Begley, Angie Huber, Sam Sarauer, Eva Smith and Marlene McIntyre.

*Conditions apply

The First United Church hall will host the Autumn Book Sale on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Fall in love with autumn safely What’s not to love about the fall?

Colourful leaves, cozy sweaters and comfort food are all reasons to embrace the fresh autumn air.

As the temperature drops, curling up next to a fireplace becomes very tempting—but remember that gas appliances can pose a risk.

Make sure they’re in good working order before you turn them on for the season.

“With the seasons changing and more time spent indoors, it’s important to think about home heating safety,” said Allison Hawkins, manager, Corporate Affairs, CSA Group.

“Be sure you’ve checked your gas fireplaces and heaters before using them and have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, so you can relax and enjoy the warmth this autumn.”

CSA Group, a leader in product safety standards, testing and certification, offers you the following tips to help keep warm and safe this fall: Important home safety: Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless and lethal gas that can occur when there is incomplete combustion or poor venting.

Homes that use fuel burning appliances, such as a fireplace, space heaters or a furnace, should have a carbon monoxide alarm in addition to a smoke alarm.

Look for a certification mark, such as the CSA Group mark, and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation and

Fall means it’s time to safety check you home. maintenance of your alarms.

Smoke Alarms: • Choose a suitable power source: battery, plug-in or hardwired. Some plug-in and hardwired models have a battery backup so that the alarm will sound even if the electrical power is shut off.

• Install smoke alarms on every level of your home.

Change the batteries at least twice a year. A good reminder is to change your batteries each time you reset your clocks at the beginning and end of Daylight Savings Time.

General gas appliances:

Installation, maintenance and repair of gas appliances should only be done by a qualified professional service person.

Due to high temperatures and risk of ignition, do not store or use combustible materials, such as chemicals, paint, rags, clothing, draperies, paper, cleaning products, gasoline or flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of gas appliances.

Gas furnace maintenance: Have a qualified heating contractor perform a yearly maintenance check of your

CONTRIBUTED

furnace and ventilation system.

Clean or replace your furnace filter frequently during the heating season.

Gas fireplace maintenance: If the pilot light or flame goes out on a gas fireplace, turn the gas off and wait five minutes or more (see the manufacturer’s instructions) before attempting to relight the fireplace. This allows time to clear the fireplace of gas, particularly important with direct-vent models.

Be alert for unusual odours or flames when your

gas fireplace is on, often indicating that the fireplace is not operating properly.

In such cases, contact your dealer or licensed technician for servicing.

Contact the gas company or emergency services if you smell gas when the unit is off.

Keep children, pets and combustibles away from hot glass surfaces.

For more tips and consumer information, including a new video on carbon monoxide safety, visit csagroup.org/us/ en/consumers/safety-tips.

Flexibility or stability options for a mortgage One of the most popular types of mortgages is the fixed rate mortgage. A five-year fixed rate mortgage is currently available as low as 2.89 per cent.

Fixed rate refers to the fact that the interest rate remains the same over the term of the mortgage. This is in contrast to other types of mortgages like the variable rate mortgage where the interest rate may change.

If you have a set budget and want to have a predictable payment from month to month a fixed-rate mortgage will work well for you. A risk associated with a fixed rate mortgage is the penalty you may face should you need to pay off the mortgage during the term.

Penalties can range from a three month interest penalty to what is referred to as an interest rate differential. An interest rate differential is the difference between your original mortgage interest rate and the interest rate that the lender can charge today when re-lending the funds for the remaining term of the mortgage.

An interest differential is an unknown and depending on rates at the time you pay the mortgage off and where in the term you pay it out, an IRD can be devastating.

Rates for fixed mortgages unlike variable rate mortgages tend to be strongly linked to the bond market. In most cases, when the bond rates go up fixed rate mortgages follow with an increase.

Bonds are debts with a promise to repay the principal of debt with interest. Long term mortgage rates tend to be based on the yield, the annual rate of return of those bonds.

A variable rate mortgage will fluctuate with the prime rate throughout the mortgage term. Currently the Variable Rate Mortgage is offered at Prime Rate minus .60 per cent. Prime rate is currently three per cent resulting in a variable rate mortgage of 2.4 per cent. If the prime rate increases or decreases your rate and payment will fluctuate.

A variable rate mortgage typically offers more flexible terms than a fixed rate mortgage. With the variable mortgage you do have the option to convert to a fixed rate closed mortgage at any time without a prepayment charge. You will be offered the fixed rate available at the time of conversion. In the event you pay the mortgage off during the variable term you will only ever be charged 3 months interest. A variable rate mortgage might be right for you if your budget is somewhat flexible and you feel comfortable with fluctuating interest rates. Historically, choosing a variable mortgage rate has been more cost-effective than locking in on a five-year fixed rate.

Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Trish Balaberde (250-470-8324), Kristen Rosdal (250-878-3007) Christine Hawkins (250-826-2001).

I am so pleased with the beautiful fall colour we are getting this year.

In order to have this experience, several things must come into place.

To begin with, it is not just the temperature cooling down that produce the colour it is the longer nights that are the real trigger.

However, cool temperatures do contribute to the process.

Deciduous trees and shrubs begin growing in the spring when the days lengthen and the temperatures rise.

Most of the growing happens from bud break to about June or early July after which the plant switches gears and begins the process of manufacturing carbohydrates; energy-storing molecules that are manufactured by all green plants from carbon dioxide and water.

It is also at this time (early summer) when most woody plants form their buds for the next year’s growth.

The process of creating carbohydrates is called photosynthesis and a key ingredient needed for this is chlorophyll.

The plant produces chlorophyll throughout the season, but once the long nights come on this production slows down and eventually stops.

The fall colours begin to show up when the chlorophyll is no longer there to block it.

In other words, the red, yellow, brown, purple and pink is always there but when chlorophyll is not there we can’t see them.

The long period of cool but not frosty long nights has given us a special show this

fall.

Take a drive and enjoy the beautiful red shades of the Autumn Blaze maples and its cousins also the Red Oak as well as the Florida dogwood, Japanese maple and of course the Burning Bush. Likewise the vibrant yellow of the Gingko and the Green Ash and the beautiful orange of the English Hawthorn are fabulous this year.

Don’t forget it is fall bulb time so if you want to have a beautiful blast of colour in the spring, now is the time to get them in the ground.

Tulips, daffodils, crocus, hyacinths, alliums and many others are in the garden centres and pining for a home in your garden and planters. *** Now I switch gears from fall to late spring, May 21 to be precise.

I am organizing a trip to London, England, with gardening in mind.

In fact, just one of the highlights will be to attend the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show which is said to be the premier flower show in the world. How cool is that!

As well on the10-day trip we will visit several world famous gardens, including the Savill Garden Two where Eagleswe will be received byCourse a friend Golf of mine who just happens to be the “Keeper of the Queens Garden.”

Mark Flanagan has offered to give us a special personal presentation not offered to most groups.

news _______________ CLINICAL DEPRESSION

Overcoming the fall blues The days are getting shorter as advance into Autumn. This is the time of year I get increasingly more patients present with a complaint of a susceptibility to depression.

Although there is such a thing as clinical depression, one that needs the expertise of your medical practitioner, many of these feelings can be managed and improved by a few simple changes in your daily routines.

But remember, you can’t diagnose yourself. That job is best left up to your health practitioner.

Ask Dr. Thiel With the shorter days and the advent of MARKUS winter quickly THIEL approaching, a gland in our brain, called the pineal gland, is getting less and less stimulation.

This gland takes its direction from how much sunlight we receive. Less light means less stimulation.

The pineal gland in our brain talks to another part of our brain called the ‘retinacular formation.’

If you are one who has a hard time going from sleep to full wakefulness, then your retinacular formation is keeping your ‘dimmer switch’ on low. The retinacular formation is responsible for our ‘get-up-and-go.’

If you are one of those that slow down in the winter months, understand that this is indeed the normal rhythm of things.

Scientists have proved that we humans do indeed, enter into a moderate hibernation state during the winter/fall months. It is the normal state of things.

So what can we do to boost our energy? Well, first understand that your body’s rhythm might be dictating your physiology and recognize that this is the time your individual cycle will take a bit of a dip.

Second, make sure you stay active. Start a routine where you walk outside at lunchtime. Get as much sun as you can. You will notice a difference in less than a week.

Stay as active as possible. There is a real predisposition to laziness during this time. Don’t let it win. Is it any wonder that the cold and flu season surround that time when our systems may be somewhat depressed?

To stay fit and healthy during this time also greatly strengthens our immune system. Scientists from the University of Alberta found that you can improve your immune system by merely exercising 20 minutes, three times a week.

‘Exercise’ was classified as walking, swimming, yoga or weights. Staying active also improves the action of your pineal gland. See a trend here? Exercise equals wellness in more than a few ways.

Most important, make sure you eat well. You should have three main meals a day followed by several snacks throughout the course of the day. Get plenty of water.

Yes, every day.

Get your vegetables in large amount and don’t skip on the protein. Proteins are, after all, the building blocks of our immune system.

Avoid the complex carbohydrates found in overly processed foods as they will depress your immune system and leave you feeling tired.

You might find you need more rest. Well, this is your time to do it. Try going to bed earlier.

The Albertans have gone home so, sleep, and get ready for next summer. I try to be in bed and sleeping by no later than 10 p.m.

Try these tips for the next two weeks and you will see a marked difference in your immunity, energy and state of mind.

Don’t turn to the chemical stimulants; the answer is within you and within all of us. Just go get it.

Dr. Markus Thiel is a doctor of chiropractic. Questions and comments can be sent to askdrthiel@shaw.ca.

Breeders’ Cup at Racebook The Breeders’ Cup is horse racing’s largest North American event each year, with 13 races happening on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. at Santa Anita Park in California.

With a purse in each race between $1 million and $5 million, it’s a high stakes event that draws horses from all over the world to compete in the invitation-only races that often determine which horses will become the year’s champions.

This year, you can take in the Breeders’ Cup at your local Racebook, a govern-

ment-sanctioned off-track betting location.

The first race will start at 11:25 a.m. on Oct. 31, followed by three other races from the Breeders’ Cup. The first of nine races on Nov. 1 begins at 10:15 a.m., with the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic going at 5:35 p.m.

The Racebook gives you a chance to watch harness racing and thoroughbred races from around the world, and allows you to place your wager in-person with a teller or at a self-serve terminal. If you’re

not able to make it out to the Racebook, you can bet online by joining HorsePlayer Interactive at hpibet.com. You must be 19 years of age or older to make a wager.

Sports OKANAGAN FOOTBALL

Premature end for ‘close-knit’ Sun team whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Like every team whose season ends prior to the championship game, the Okanagan Sun is reflecting this week on what might have been in 2014.

The Sun watched its B.C. Football Conference campaign expire prematurely on Sunday afternoon in Kelowna with a heart-stopping 2319 loss to the Langley Rams in conference final.

Guided to a robust 9-1 regular season record and a first-round playoff win by head coach Shane Beatty, the Sun had its sights firmly set on the organization’s first BCFC crown since 2004.

But as Sun GM Jay Christensen had witnessed over the years—also as a head coach and player—even

the best laid plans often don’t always produce the desired outcome.

“It was disappointing for everyone involved with the team, you always go into a season with expectations of winning a championship,” said Christensen. “We knew it was going to be a tough game, but the way the season had gone and how close a group we had, obviously we were hoping for a different result.

“The goal is always to win a championship and when you don’t, you’re never truly satisfied.”

Still, even in defeat, Christensen doesn’t have to look far to find a multitude of positives from the 2014 season.

Between the team’s regular season record, the on and off-field growth of the players, and Shane Beatty’s work

in building a competitive and cohesive roster, Christensen said the Sun took some considerable steps forward.

“This was one of the closer group of guys I’ve seen in all my time here,” said Christensen.

“The growth of the guys was nice to see and the leadership group was outstanding.

“Obviously our record was very good and I think the depth we’ve built over the last couple of years is promising. One of Shane’s strengths is recruiting and that’s reflected in the depth. We already have a great jump on next year.”

Sunday’s game was the Sun’s first BCFC final appearance in four seasons and only their third home playoff game since 2010.

The Rams, meanwhile, have played in four consecutive BCFC final

games—winning in 2012 and 2014. Big plays, mistakes and penalties aside, Christensen said big-game experience may have been the telling factor on Sunday.

“What struck me is that back when we were winning championships here, the players just expected that and

really relied on their experience,” he said.

“We haven’t had much of that the last few years.

(Langley) has a number of players over there who have been through this several times and it may have worked in their favour.”

As is the case every season, a formidable

group of players are graduating from the Sun. Team MVP Robbie Yochim was among 11 players who suited up in orange and brown for the last time on Sunday.

“I thought this was going to be the year where I’d win a national championship, I guess it didn’t turn out that way,”

said Yochim, who played five seasons with the Sun. “It’s tough…but life goes on. That’s about all you can say.”

In the meantime, the Rams will host the Saskatoon Hilltops in the Canadian Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 8. @capnewsports

Rockets head to Portland for twin bill meeting with Winterhawks Warren Henderson

KEVIN PARNELL/CAPITAL NEWS

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

A young fan gets autographs from Kelowna Rockets’ players Madison Bowey and Tyson Baillie (left) on Sunday at Kal Tire in Kelowna during Rockets Day.

With the exception of a 5-2 loss to Tri-City on Oct. 18 against, the Kelowna Rockets have brushed aside every obstacle thrown in their way early in the WHL season.

This week, the CHL’s No. 1 team will be tested again as the Rockets head to Portland for two games—Thursday and Saturday—against the defending Western Conference champs.

With the departures of players like Derrick Pouliot, Brendan Leipsic and Taylor Leier, the Winterhawks don’t have nearly the star power of last year’s team and have stumbled out to an unexpected 5-9-0 start.

Still, captain Madison Bowey isn’t

underestimating the rival Winterhawks, who have eliminated Kelowna from playoff contention twice in the last three years— including last spring in five games.

“I think it will be great for us to go down there, a good test for us,” said Bowey, who leads all WHL defencemen in points with 18.

“We’ll have a fire in our belly, they kicked out out of the playoffs a couple of times, so we’re all pretty excited to get a shot at them.

“We always have good battles against them, so I expect more of the same Thursday.”

It will be a brief but busy stretch on road for the Rockets with three games in four nights, concluding with a stop against the Giants

on Saturday night in Vancouver. Kelowna hits the pavement this week with a WHL-best record of 12-1-0.

The latest win came at home on Saturday against one of the Eastern Conference’s top clubs, as the Rockets downed the Brandon Wheat Kings 6-1.

Kelowna was on its heels early, but called on Jackson Whistle to makes some key saves, then rallied for the win on the strength of four points from Nick Merkley and two goals by Bowey.

“It was good for us to battle and get that win,” Bowey said.

“We came out kind of flat and obviously we still have a lot to learn as a team. But Jackson kept us in there, we fought back and got the win against a

really a good team. It was good to see.”

The Rockets’ next home action is Wednesday, Nov. 5 against the Victoria Royals. Face off at Prospera Place is 7:05 p.m.

UBCO Heat sweep defending champs Heat’s first season ends in quarters

GREYSTOKE PHOTOGRAPHY

The UBC Okanagan Heat were simply too much for the defending CIS champs.

Steve Manuel’s Heat women’s volleyball squad proved again it is one of the nation’s top teams by sweeping the Manitoba Bisons in Canada West women’s volleyball action.

The No. 4-ranked Heat, now 4-2, opened the weekend with a 3-1 win (25-15, 19-25, 26-11, 2523) over the Bisons on Friday.

Third-year outside hitter Megan Festival led the Heat with 16 kills.

Fourth-year middle Katie Wuttunee and fourthyear outside hitter Brianna Beamish joined Festival in double-digit kills with 13 and 10, respectively.

On Saturday, it was an even more impressive performance by UBCO in a 3-0 (25-17, 25-15, 2515) victory.

The home team put its foot on the gas right from the get-go and Manitoba had a hard time staying on balance for the entirety of the match.

Strong offensive pressure by the Heat created non-ideal scoring opportunities for the Bisons, which in turn helped the Heat defense shut down many

Heat coach Steve Manuel opted to start fourth-year Chandler Proch at setter over the previous night’s starter in sophomore Emily Oxland, a move that would not disappoint as Proch went for 23 assists, three kills and seven digs.

In the end, the Heat’s depth and balance were too much for Manitoba.

The UBC Okanagan men are still in search of their first victory of the Canada West season after

dropping two matches at home to the Manitoba Bisons. On Friday, the Bisons prevailed 3-0 (2522, 25-17, 25-22).

The Heat committed a total of 18 service errors over the threeset match and, when combined with other error categories, 55 per cent of the Bison’s points came from Okanagan blunders.

“We obviously didn’t execute our game plan very well,” said secondyear Heat outside hitter Lars Bornemann. “We

gave them way too much credit on their hitting.”

Third-year middle Jim Bell was the Heat’s Player of the Game for the night as he completed a gamehigh 17-kill (.387) outing.

On Saturday, an improved effort wasn’t good enough as the Heat fell 3-1 (21-25, 25-18, 25-16, 25-22). Bell again led the Heat with 15 kills while Bornemann had 11.

As far as first seasons go, Dante Zanatta couldn’t have asked for much more from his UBC Okanagan Heat.

Despite a spirited effort on Friday night in Vancouver, the Heat reluctantly watched their Canada West campaign end in a 3-0 playoff loss to the UBC Thunderbirds.

The Heat men, who made the post-season in its first ever CIS season, earned some much deserved accolades from their head coach.

“As disappointing as it is—I think everyone is a bit gutted— I said to the players that I was very proud of the way they played the whole season, the way they handled themselves,” said Zanatta.

The Heat played well in the first half of the quarterfinal match, but it was the No. 3 T’Birds striking for the only goal at the 38-minute mark.

In the second half, UBC added two more quick scores at 47 and 53 minutes by Navid Mashinchi to put the Heat in a tough spot.

But despite the mountain to climb, the Heat continued their pursuit, taking a total of nine shots, with two being on target.

“Our guys played very well,” Zanatta added. “And even late in the game I was very happy and impressed that they continued to try and play and go forward.

“At three-nothing in the game they could have packed it in, but they had better scoring chances later in the game.”

Even with his three scores against, Heat keeper Christopher Cuthill made a total of five stops, ending his remarkable season on a high. Along with the injury embattled Enzo Paal, Cuthill was an instrumental figure in the Heat’s road to the playoffs.

Keeping in mind that this was the Heat’s first season in the major league, making it to the big dance was a notable achievement.

With a young but talented squad at his disposal, the head coach was definitely pleased with his boys for making it so far in the league.

“The future is bright,” Zanatta said after the match.

Warriors overcome tough road trip to stay in playoff hunt BOOST FROM A29 could have had all six points. I know it sounds greedy, but it would have been nice to win them all.

“But if someone had told me before the trip we would get five out of six,” he added, “I would have taken it.”

After a come-from-behind 4-3 win over the Nanaimo Clippers on Friday, the Warriors looked well on their way to a second straight victory on Saturday at Cowichan Valley.

But West Kelowna yielded a pair of two-goal leads to the Capitals, eventually losing 6-5 in overtime.

On Sunday in Victoria, the Warriors fell behind 3-0 to the Grizzlies less than nine minutes into the game, but then rallied back for a 6-5 win.

In the end, it was positive way to finish off a largely positive weekend.

“That last game in Victoria was a character builder for us,” Ferster said.

“We didn’t show up to start the game and could have easily just packed it in.

You know, three games in 2 1/2 days… but I give the kids credit, they battled and got the win.”

The Warriors’s newest addition, forward Andrew Johnson, played a key role in Sunday’s victory, scoring twice, including the game winner in the third

period.

The team’s new captain, Johnson, 20, came to the Warriors earlier this month with four-plus seasons of WHL experience.

“It’s been a huge addition for us,” said Ferster. “(Johnson) is such a calming presence, he’s got a ton of experience in the Western Hockey League, and he competes. He’s a 200-foot guy who shows up every day. It’s nice to get all those things from one player.”

As for the Interior Division race, Ferster can’t remember a tighter scenario than the one that’s been unfolding so far in 2014-15. A mere two points separates the second and fifth place teams. “It’s so tight, if you have a bad weekend you can find yourself in last place,” said Ferster. “We left on the trip in last place and came back in third. Our goal is to just stay in the hunt because every team in our division is a good team.”

The Warriors return to action on Halloween night when they travel to Salmon Arm to play the Silver Backs in the first of a home-and-home set between the clubs. The teams will meet again Saturday, 7 p.m. at Royal LePage Place. @capnewsports

Bowman is chair of interdisciplinary studies at Okanagan College in Kelowna on unceded Syilx territory, in the Ponderosa Pine Bunchgrass biogeoclimatic zone.

She recently earned her PhD from the University of Alberta, in the English and Film Studies department.

Bowman is currently working on learning and writing about how First Nations in B.C. express title for protection and governance of land and resources.

Bowman’s lecture is part of the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies Research Series: Eco Cultures.

The Eco Cultures Research Series focuses on the complex intersection of culture, imagination, and ecological issues. This series connects UBC Okanagan researchers with colleagues and students engaged in diverse explorations of today’s most timely forms of artistic and critical innovation.

There will also be an opportunity to view more of Janvier’s art, as the exhibition 7: Professional Native Indian Artists Inc. featuring his work opens at the Kelowna Art Gallery until Jan. 4, 2015.

Entertainment

IN THE LOOP topics will be on the agenda as Okanagan College mounts a week of presentations and displays intended to showcase some of the scholarly and creative work of faculty and staff.

The presentations are open to the public, presented daily during the Nov. 3-7 week in Kelowna, and on Monday and Thursday (Nov. 3 and 6) in Penticton, and Tuesday and Wednesday (Nov. 4 and 5) in Salmon Arm. Vernon’s campus will host presentations Monday to Wednesday (Nov. 3-5).

“The concept is to shed some light on the tremendous creative work and research of some of our faculty and staff,” explained Ross Tyner, the director of library services who has helped shepherd the weeklong showcase.

While the presentations range from the esoteric (“The ring structure of the binary icosahedral group” by mathematics and statistics professor Satoshi Tomoda) to the more popular (“Ethnic Media in Canada, Why Do They Matter?,” by sociology professor Xiaoping Li), the overarching purpose is to expose people to the breadth of research and writing that is undertaken at the college, said Beverlie Dietze, OC’s director of lLearning and teaching. S She has also helped organize the week, along with library personnel at each campus.

“Some of the people presenting will be familiar to a good portion of the public through their books or work in the community,” said Tyner.

“Others will be known to people who are familiar with their field, in areas such as mathematics, business research, earth and environmental science and computer science.”

Most of the sessions are organized around the lunch-hour to allow public attendance.

For a full schedule of presentations at the College’s four campuses visit Okanagan.bc.ca/ ocauthors2014 Another feature of the week is a display of works that Okanagan College staff have written, edited or to which they have contributed. That will be on display at all campus libraries through the week, beginning Nov. 2 when the Kelowna campus hosts its annual Career Fair.

A special event has been organized for Nov. 5, 7 p.m., featuring University of Alberta professor and internationally-renowned author Ted Bishop, who will present a talk based on his forthcoming book, The Social Life of Ink: Culture, Wonder And Our Relationship With The Written Word.

Black Box Theatre, 1375 Water St. Kelowna California-born Ada Annie Jordan settled in the Clayoquot coastal rainforest in 1915 with her first husband and three young children.

A five-acre garden that she carved out of the wilderness provided food and income throughout her long life.

The bounty on cougars supplemented her income and she earned her moniker of Cougar Annie by shooting over 70 of the animals.

Annie gave birth to eight more children in this remote location, and in fact rarely left the property until old age and blindness forced her removal to Port Alberni, where she died just shy

of 97.

Katrina Kadoski spent close to three years at Cougar Annie’s garden and immersing herself in the folklore surrounding the legendary pioneersettler.

Now her award winning, critically acclaimed one-woman show has been touring around B.C. using dramatic narrative, images, letters, and original compositions to celebrate the unconventional life of one of B.C.’s most colourful local characters.

But, you guessed it, they are forced to confront their most evil and demonic fears when they awaken the dark power of the ancient spirit board.

Unlike Battleship and like many horror movies, Ouija was produced with a much smaller budget, with the biggest name attached to it is Transformers director Michael Bay serving as producer.

With the number of horror fans that like a good scare, it is almost guaranteed to be financially successful.

St. Vincent sounds like a typical story of a relationship between a fatherless young boy and a misunderstood, grumpy

older man.

However, with Bill Murray starring as the retired curmudgeon with a penchant for alcohol, gambling and strippers, expect a funny and touching story that also stars Melissa McCarthy and Naomi Watts.

McCarthy plays a single mother who moves next door to Murray with her 12-year-old son.

Forced to work long hours, she has no choice but to leave her son with her questionable neighbour and an odd friendship soon develops between the improbably pair.

Best known for her over-the-top comedy roles, the casting of McCarthy as the mother is interesting because the character is more

subdued, playing the “straight woman” to Murray’s character.

Empowering youth to be entrepreneurial leaders I couldn’t help my level of enthusiasm this week when researching my column topic, as I found myself zeroing in our young entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

And, guess what? It gave me great joy to allow myself the liberty to imagine our world of entrepreneurial creation benchmarked through the brilliant minds of our young men and women.

When Canada has a healthy youth population, we will find our nation making wonderful headway in overall development and socio-economic progress.

In the advancing technological world of today, everywhere I go I see where technology has enabled progress in all fields and levels of our society.

not quite at the level of a culture as of yet. Apart from introducing enterprise education, an absolutely critical element that must be included in an entrepreneurship strategy is to address the issue of building entrepreneurial awareness and culture factors among our youth.

Hosting awareness programs, orientation camps, group discussions, specifically targeted campaigns, promoting youth entrepreneurship events at all possible forums as well as launching achievement awards and competitions are wonderful channels for building that youth entrepreneurship culture.

Theory tells us also that a significant part of learning occurs through observing and emulating role models. Doesn’t everyone wish to become a Steve Jobs or Bill Gates?

JAMES MURRAY GRINDLAY January 08, 1923 – October 22, 2014

Jim Grindlay had a knack for side-stepping death. He recovered from childhood Scarlet Fever before the availability of penicillin. He survived combat in WWII, including a head wound from shrapnel. The heart disease that afflicted him in mid-life didn’t stop him. Neither did the colorectal cancer he developed at 89. Nor did the late-life dementia. He didn’t succumb to any of his ailments. He just kept going until he finally wore out at the age of 91 1/2.

Jim was born in Kilsyth, Scotland on January 8, 1923. He was the middle of three sons. Unlike his brothers, Jim grew disillusioned with school and dropped out after grade nine.

He entered his father’s joinery and construction business, and became a skilled carpenter. But not before slicing off the tip of one of his fingers with a table saw.

At 18, Jim became a soldier. He joined the British army’s Royal Artillery, where he trained to be part of a gun crew.

He received additional training as a radio specialist and vehicle operator. He particularly enjoyed driving heavy trucks and motorcycles. He was first off his landing craft on D-Day. (Not by choice, he admitted).

After the war, Jim emigrated to South Africa where he met Eunice Basketer, also from Britain. They were married in King William’s Town on July 16, 1949. Both were concerned about the unfair racial situation in South Africa, and so emigrated to Canada.

They settled in Chatham, Ontario. Jim established a home renovation business and later a building supply company that both proved successful. He and Eunice raised two sons and a daughter – Jim Jr., Sandy and Maggie - and were active participants in service clubs and amateur theatre.

In September 1969, the family moved to Kelowna, BC. Jim became a cabinetry manufacturer, and again, his natural business skills led to success. When he retired years later, The Federal Business Development Bank employed him as an advisor to local companies.

Jim was a past-president of the Kelowna Capri Rotary Club.

He was also an avid golfer and tennis player.

Jim was predeceased by his daughter Maggie in 2005 and by his wife Eunice in 2011. His older brother Charles died in 1989. Jim is survived by his son Jim Jr., Jim Jr.’s daughters Laura and Sarah, his son Sandy and his wife Judi, and Maggie’s daughters Jennifer and Stephanie. Jim’s younger brother, Walter also survives him.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The Canadian Cancer Society, the Alzheimer Society of Canada or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

A memorial service will be held November 10 at 1 pm at The Hotel Eldorado, 500 Cook Road, Kelowna, BC. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 19, 2014 in Kelowna BC at the age of 86. She is survived by her four sisters; her children, Gary of Sidney, BC, Ken (Susan) of Kelowna, Maria of Kelowna, Darrell (Viola) of Morinville, AB, Terry (Shelley) of Sherwood Park, AB, Brenda Villeneuve of Kelowna, and Jaccie (Rob) Buchanan of Kelowna; her grandchildren, Renee, Janine, Maegan, Alex, Brian, Karie, Cheryl, Shawn, Christie, Devon, Joel, Levi, Jenna, Martina and her many great grandchildren. Predeceased by her husband Alex LaBoucan, her parents, and four sisters and three brothers.

Alexa will be sadly missed by her family, extended family, and many Friends. She was a committed Mother, Sister, Auntie, and Friend. In later years she enjoyed going for drives, and keeping connected through photos, email, and facebook. A Memorial and Tribute Service will be held on Friday, November 7 at 1:00 pm at the Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. No flowers requested please donate to charity of your choice.

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

There is a buzz of excitement at Flooring Canada Kelowna as Perry Hildebrandt welcomes

Shawna Stafford as a new partner.

Shawna is no stranger to the Flooring Canada family, as she owned her own Flooring Canada store in Whitecourt, Alta., until 2009 when she and her family made their move to Kelowna. It was at that time Shawna joined the Flooring Canada Kelowna team focusing on retail sales where she brought her passion and knowledge for floor covering. Her work ethic and customer centric approach made her transition into specialization of insurance, restoration and commercial sales a natural fit. Her belief of welcoming customers as guests and looking after their needs as if they were her own is shared by the entire Flooring Canada Kelowna team. There is an unmistakable fun energy apparent as soon as anyone walks in the doors.Call 250-763-1235 or 250-808-8673 Congratulations to Bruce Vermee, awarded

Today’s column is dedicated to two longtime friends. Ross Gorman, of Gorman Bros., passed away Oct. 17. It was always a delight to have chats with Ross, especially about his dedication to the community. We worked together on several campaigns for the United Way and he always gave me great insight into fundraising. Personal condolences to the entire Gorman family and Ross’ many community friends.

Jollean Ewens, a long-time friend and hotel colleague, also passed away last week.

Jollean was a hotel sales director for many years in Vancouver at the Bayshore and Holiday Inn, and then retired to Kelowna. She was struck with Parkinson’s for the past 16 years.

Condolences to John and her family.

finance ___________________________________________________________________

Key to any business is to maintain cash flow Cash is king comes to mind when I think about cash flow.

Increasing cash flow is still one of or the most important variables when it comes to increasing the value of your company.

Without cash flow, you are unable to either pay your expenses or for any growth.

One way to increase cash flow is to drop your prices. What can happen is that your product might be more in demand, but then you’d need to produce more resulting in more cost and it can be difficult to find that sweet spot where lower price and more demand equals increased cash flow rather than decreased profits.

Another way to increase cash flow would be to sell complementary

products to your original product line. Behind The Again, if you Counter sell too many complementary GABRIELE products, you may BANKA lose the sales of your original line and only end up selling the lower priced complementary items which would negatively affect your cash flow.

In order to create short term cash flow, you can cut some expenses and this is called cost reduction rather than cost management because the results are short term.

Cost management requires that when trying to cut costs, that the overall long term effect on the

entire company’s operations is considered and perhaps introducing more efficient processing is a way to cut costs over the long term.

In order to manage costs, you would need to understand how costs function in your own operation.

There are different kinds of costs.

The first is variable costs which are directly related to the physical product produced and could be the raw materials that you require to produce your product. The next are step costs which represent the limitations of your operation.

For example, one salesperson can only cover so many kilometers in a day before another salesperson needs to be added and would the additional sales brought in by the new salesperson be enough to cover the cost of the additional wage and related expenses?

Finally, there are the fixed costs, business expenses that you would have whether you were producing product or not, such as rent and utilities expense.

The trick is to find out where your revenues increase at a faster rate than costs which increase your profit margins. This is called your operating leverage.

One way to figure this out is to produce internal profit and loss

statements by segment, product or service.

You can allocate the fixed costs based on a percentage of revenue.

You may be able to take advantage of volume purchasing from your suppliers to reduce costs.

Another part of cash flow is taxes. It is important to remember that there are three parties to every transaction, the seller, purchaser and the government.

In B.C., we need to set aside cash for payment of PST, GST and income taxes.

Mystery and her (7 sibs) are at the shelter. She is a bundle of joy BUT, will require lots of time, patience, guidance and love to develop into a beautiful well-adjusted family dog.

If you have been yearning for a new addition to your home, then ask the staff to set up a meeting with her or her brothers and sisters...you are going to fall in love immediately.

11 YEARS DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR NEUTERED MALE

Purrnicus is a distinguished grey tabby looking for a family that can offer him a relaxed environment, where he can bask in the sun and in your attentions for the remainder of his years. He is pretty adaptable and would do best in a home with older children, who can appreciate his low-key demeanor and lap warming skills. If you have a big empty spot in your heart, then Purrnicus is the one to fill it.

ID#349298

ADULT GERMAN SHEPHERD SPAYED FEMALE

Sophie is young and energetic and needs a family who can keep up with her. She loves to run and has a great enthusiasm for life. She knows her basic commands, but an obedience refresher course would help with the bonding. She has intelligence and the will to please, and is going to develop into a wonderful family dog with the right companions. Ask the staff to set up a visit with Sophie in our backyard.

ADULT HUSKY/LAB RETRIEVER X SPAYED FEMALE

Snowy is a small to medium size girl with a bundle of energy. She would do very well in a home where she has a running partner to exercise and bond with. We recommend that Snowy be the only animal in the house, as she does not get along with dogs or cats.

If you have an active household with older children, do consider her as a new member of your family.
