News JOHN HINDLE DRIVE

Jennifer Smith jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Cyclists trying to access the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus got a major boost with the announcement a multi-use pathway will soon be built to campus.

The announcement came as part of a threeway partnership between the City of Kelowna, the province and the federal government to complete the long-anticipated John Hindle Drive, a 1.6km major arterial road to access UBCO and Kelowna International Airport via Glenmore, several years ahead of schedule.

“This is going to help people in Rutland and into the Mission, in all parts of the City of Kelowna and that’s why it’s such a high priority for us to make sure this happens,” said MLA Norm Letnick, speaking on behalf of Minister of Transportation Todd Stone.

Letnick said the cycling issue has been on the government agenda for a couple of years as he took

the time to tour former Minister of Transportation Shirley Bond over the Ellison overpass by bus to see how dangerous the only legal access to campus is for the cycling community.

Most cyclists accessing the campus do so illegally along Curtis Road and the residents of Curtis Road have won a lengthy court battle to keep them off of the private thoroughfare.

Yet with virtually no other option, those riding a bike are left to continue trespassing along the pothole-riddled dirt lane, angering residents and placing themselves in peril.

On hand to support the announcement, a group of cyclists said they are pleased with this advancement, handing out information suggesting the pathway is progress. There are still issues to be addressed, in their view.

“What people are concerned with is, if you are coming from Kelowna, you have to go through a stretch of Glenmore that is quite narrow,” said

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

Cyclists get legal access to UBCO on new road

Local cyclists and politicians gathered for announcement Monday regarding new artillery road to UBC Okanagan from Glenmore, a1.6 kilometre extension to John Hindle Drive, will also be accessible to bikes as well as motor vehicles.

Spencer King, engineer for the Ministry of Transportation.

The portion of road is along Glenmore Road. City of Kelowna community services manager Jon Vos, who also attended the announcement, said there is a long-term plan to make Glenmore Road four lanes, an issue that will be addressed as part of the work.

A second, likely more pressing concern of note is the way cyclists will cross from the cycling pathway over John Hindle Drive to campus, and how the new bike path will be accessed from Academy Way, a road above the university campus intended to push through to the new Hindle artery.

The cyclists are pulling for a tunnel under John Hindle to make access easier and have alternatively thrown out ideas, like a floating walkway through the middle of Roberts Lake, where the university has a legal easement.

“I think it’s going to be important that, even with the restricted access

under the court ruling, that the easement still does access UBC. And so you’re going to get safely across or under. Cyclists coming along are going to need to somehow get across the road,” said Michael Treschow, an associate professor and member of the UBCO Board of Governors who also owns a home along Curtis Road.

The Ministry of Transportation will hold an open house to discuss the design options as soon as funding for the $11.6 million John Hindle Drive extension comes through.

In addressing media gathered on campus Monday morning, Mayor Walter Gray said securing the partnership funds—$3.5 million from the Build Canada Fund’s Major Infrastructure Component and $3.5 million from the province—saved the City of Kelowna $7 million and bumped the start date up by several years.

It was originally planned for 2018. @jaswrites

news _______________________________________________ ROSALES MURDER

Bus drivers pay their respects Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

As Caesar Rosales’ funeral got underway in Vancouver last Saturday, the driver of the bus on which he was killed laid a bouquet of flowers and posted a small homage at their final stop.

Minutes later, as the service was scheduled to begin and local transit drivers collectively paid their respects to Rosales by pulling over, he left in the same somber fashion as he arrived.

Another driver, who was on the university loop Saturday, indicated that Rosales’ death has been hard on everyone, but he too chose not to comment more on the matter.

Closure on the horrific events of Oct. 30 are what they’re looking for now, said a union rep.

“We asked that BC Transit allow us to have a minute of silence when his funeral starts in Vancouver because it’s been a big process for us. Regular drivers know more about their passengers than they know their spouses,” said Les Milton, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union.

“We wanted to do something to show our respect and it will allow us to have some closure.”

Rosales, 55, was a dedicated user of public transit and a familiar face on local buses. When his identity was revealed to the community, it had a chilling effect on many drivers who were familiar with him.

“In the lunchroom we were recounting conversations we had with him. Caesar’s death is a tragic thing,” said Milton.

Commuters also said they were rattled in the immediate aftermath of

the killing, but on the day that Rosales was laid to rest, concerns weren’t apparent.

Life for many transit users had seemingly returned to normal on the university bus route. At least a dozen were on the bus Saturday morning, and the faces onboard reflected the growing cultural diversity in this city.

When the bus was given instruction to pull over for one minute of silence, many seemed unaware of what was happening, some chatting away with their seat mates in foreign tongues while others stared out the window awaiting their own stops.

It was, perhaps, a fitting homage for the man who hinged part of his decision to move to the city on the accessibility and quality of public transit.

Kelowna Flightcraft coworker Grant Stevens described Rosales as, among other things, a dedicated transit user.

“He believed in public transportation. With the job and income level he had, he could have had a vehicle if he wanted to, but when we interviewed him in 2012, he said he wanted to know if he’d be able to use public transit before he took the job,” said Stevens.

While the route won’t change, riders on local transit won’t have to face being on the bus that Rosales was killed on. It was driven out of Kelowna last Thursday, on the one week anniversary of the violent episode.

“Drivers felt the stigma behind the bus, even though it looks like so many other buses we had, would be too strong,” Milton said.

“The public would like to know we got rid of the bus so we petitioned the

company and BC Transit to get rid of it.”

In an earlier interview, Milton said that Kelowna’s public transit system lost its innocence on the night that Rosales was killed. That hasn’t changed, however, he believes that with time the community will heal and the transit system will see improvements.

Meribeth Burton, spokeswoman for BC Transit in Victoria, said starting next spring cameras will be installed on all 107 Kelowna Regional Transit buses.

“Driver and passenger safety is a priority for us,” said Burton, adding the camera plan has been in the works for two years.

In addition to the cameras, special training is also given to bus drivers to help them deal with situations where either a

driver or a passenger is believed to be in danger, added Burton.

Rosales, a business systems analyst with Flightcraft, had moved to Kelowna two years ago by way of Vancouver, and 10 years before that, from the Philippines. He’s been described as a good man who was living life to the fullest.

He died after being attacked on Kelowna city bus in what has been deemed a random act of violence.

An estimated 13 to 20 people were witness to the violence, and many offered aid in his final moments.

A 24-year-old man, Tyler Jack Newton was arrested the next day and later charged with second-degree murder.

news _____________________________________________________________________ MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING

Use red ribbon and vow to not drink and drive

On Sunday, July 23, 2000, Eva Gainer’s life changed forever.

Because a male driver decided to get behind the wheel of his Silverado truck that day, already impaired by alcohol coupled with taking prescription medication, Gainer was involved in a car accident that claimed the life of her husband Don and 11-year-old son Bryan, while a family friend was left paralyzed.

One minute, Eva was driving home with her family members and friend through Blackstock, Ont., the next thing she remembers is waking up in the ICU of a hospital suffering from a broken arm, two collapsed lungs, six broken ribs, lacerated spleen and other internal

injuries.

Her friend Kathy was badly injured and suffered a stroke two days after the accident, which doctors later thought was caused by a small leak in her artery caused by the seatbelt strained against her neck in the collision.

The stroke left Kathy’s life forever changed— paralyzed on her right side from the stroke she was never able to drive again, she never married, never had kids, and had to live with her parents so she could be cared for.

“Her mother is 93 now and just called me the other day to see if I could look after Kathy,” said Gainer, director of victim support for the MADD Central Okanagan chapter.

The trauma extended beyond the accident scene, as the Gainers had

another son and daughter waiting at home in Oshawa for their parents and brother to return that night.

Instead they were greeted by a knock on the door from local police officers, who had to tell them their father and brother were dead, and mother seriously injured.

“To this day, my kids and I have never been able to talk about that night,” she said.

While in the case of their accident, the impaired driver was also killed in the headon collision, Gainer said often the drivers end up with reduced sentences for making a selfish decision to drink and drive while their victim’s and loved ones’ lives are changed forever.

Gainer shared her personal story at the

kick-off to the Project Red Ribbon campaign at the Kelowna firehall on Enteprise Way Saturday morning. Representatives from the local police and fire departments were on hand to reinforce the message behind the campaign, as were local politicians.

Project Red Ribbon is an initiative Mothers Against Drunk Drivers started 27 years ago to draw attention to

people making the choice to not drink and drive. Canadians are encouraged to attach the ribbons to their cars, keychains, purses and backpacks.

“Drinking and driving kills,” said Kelowna RCMP Insp. Gord Stewart.

“The choice to drive or not after having been drinking is yours. Please make the responsible choice.”

Stewart said one of the

Gord Stewart (from left), Kelowna city councillor Luke Stack, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick and MP Ron Cannan and Kelowna firefighter Lou Wilde with their red ribbons. worst tasks that a police officer must carry out is to visit the house of a victim of an impaired driving accident and tell their family members that their mother, father, child or relative is dead.

It is one of many reasons, Stewart said, why every RCMP police car will be adorned with the symbolic ribbon.

It’s also why the police endorsed a proposal by MADD adopted by the city to post nine 911 signs around the city alerting the public to call if they see signs of someone driving while impaired.

Tina Harder, a volunteer for the MADD Central Okanagan chapter, experienced the loss of her nephew, her sister’s 35-year-old son, in Winnipeg. Her nephew was on his bike peddling to work at 4 a.m. on Dec.

I am willing to pound on every door in this community if I have to, to get that message through people’s heads,” Hardin said.

“I have two sons and three daughters, and grandkids, and I can’t imagine not being able to say I love you to each of them every day. My sister has had to go through that and I can’t imagine how hard that must be.”

Hardin said ideally there will come a time when MADD won’t have to exist anymore, that the message to not drink and drive will have sunk in for everyone.

Kelowna city councillor Luke Stack echoed the sentiments of Hardin and Gainer, saying the city has adopted a zero tolerance for tragic accidents caused by impaired drivers this Christmas season.

“Zero should be our target. This is the season to celebrate but nobody who has been drinking needs to get behind the wheel of a vehicle,” Stack said.

Local MLA Norm Letnick demonstrated how he will be wearing a red ribbon on his keychain, saying there is ultimately no excuse for being impaired by drugs or alcohol while driving.

“There should be no tolerance for drinking and driving,” he said.

#Kelownavotes ___________________________________________________________ TAXPAYERSFIRST

Grand vision outlined for city’s Cultural District Kathy Michaels In an ongoing attempt to have Kelowna voters identify them as the “idea people in this election,” TaxpayersFirst revealed the third of four citychanging initiatives.

The party—which is comprised of Billie Aaltonen, Michael Gorman, Carol Gran, Graeme James and Dale Olson—aimed their sights on the city’s cultural district Monday, pitching an upgrade to the community theatre.

Their aim is to see a fully equipped performing arts centre with a 2,500 person capacity built for staging major touring productions of dance and opera, among other things, take the place of the current structure.

Funding the project would require the P4 initiative they’ve been discussing throughout the election (see sidebar below) as Olsen told a small gathering at the Royal Ann Hotel Monday, it would come at no cost to the taxpayers of the city.

While upgrading aging city infrastructure may seem like a daunting enough task, Calhoun had more to show.

If TaxpayersFirst are

announcement focused on the early development of the CN Rail lands Heritage Trail.

The third was the cultural component, and on Thursday there will be one more announcement.

Underscoring it all is the campaign promise to not raise taxes for the

of the RDCO and the suggestion of affordable or student housing on some of the unused lands.

The plan, which included relocating KLO ball diamonds, would save at least $5 million yearly, they claimed.

The waterways, he continued, would have a tremendous impact on tourism and ramp up the amount of money spent in the city.

Carol Gran noted that it’s high time for some “out of the box thinking” for Kelowna and what

Explaining the PR process According to the TaxpayersFirst civic party, P4 is a simple series of four steps to maximize the value of city assets: The city identifies or acquires the property. The city, using its zoning, subdivision, and permitting authority, upzones the property to the desired use the city wants to see, and to realize the highest and best use of the lands to be developed.

In some cases, the city adds value to the entire property through the city’s development of the city’s land. In the case of the Cultural District, the development of the parkland along the Heritage Trail will add tremendous value to properties along the trail.

The city then sells, leases, or otherwise enters into an agreement with the private sector to use the subdivided property as newly zoned.

they’re offering is just that.

“We have never seen anyone ever do this. This is a real platform and these are real ideas,” she said.

The Wall Street Journal and the Huffington Post have named the Okanagan as one of the best tourism destinations in the world, and the canals and expanded cultural district would

only add to the appeal.

“This is spectacular,” she said. “There are few places that have what Kelowna has. I think this is magical.”

In addition to the canal plan, TaxpayersFirst promised not to increase property taxes for the next four years, should they be elected.

Opinion OUR view

Make your vote count on November 15 The forums may be coming to an end this week but the civic election campaigns are gearing up into overdrive with voting day approaching this Saturday.

Judging by the attendance at most of the forums in the Central Okanagan and the advance polling numbers, hopefully it is an indicate of a strong turnout at the polls for Nov. 15, although history tends to indicate otherwise.

So let us all turn that around this year.

Greater interest should be reflected in the fact that we’re now voting in councillors and directors and trustees for a four-year term, a 25-per-cent increase over previous elections giving it a little more impact.

But hopefully it’s also because people are realizing how important the so-called third level of government is in our everyday lives.

What happens at city hall or the regional district office or the school board office directly affects you and your neighbour and we encourage everyone to get as informed as possible about the candidates pursuing these positions: and above all exercise your right to vote.

The Kelowna Capital News has endeavoured to enlighten readers in our recent past issues about what is at stake in this election, why it is important to vote and what the issues are that candidates and local residents are talking about.

And it’s very fitting that we all get to exercise our democratic right just a few days after we pay our respects to those who sacrificed so much for the freedoms that we too often take for granted.

Honour the veterans who sacrificed their lives to ensure your vote actually means something, and don’t waste the opportunity to make a decision at the polls to help shape the future of your community in the Central Okanagan.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Global warming stalled politically too On most of the issues this column Victoria News discusses, the feedback I receive is generally negative.

TOM One exception FLETCHER has been humancaused climate change, where my mail runs three to one in favour of a skeptical approach. Most express relief at having someone question the exaggerated or false claims advanced by environmentalists who strive to paint Alberta and B.C. as home to uniquely evil climate crimes.

As mentioned last week, this is an urgent issue in B.C. as the government pushes to develop liquefied natural gas exports.

The B.C. Liberal approach to limit only the “intensity” of greenhouse gas emissions from LNG production, and make no commitment on the majority of emissions from upstream gas production, looks like the effective end of Gordon Campbell’s crusade to lead North America in “climate action.”

The government has also abandoned Campbell’s collapsed effort to set up a cap-and-trade system with various U.S. states to regulate emissions. Which brings me to a key reason for public skepticism.

Going back to Jean Chrétien’s lip service to the Kyoto Accord, the world-wide effort to rein in fossil fuel emissions has been a smog of hypocrisy, hollow promises and failed experiments.

The next grand climate summit is scheduled for Paris next summer, although the vast international green bureaucracy will first have to jet to Peru for a pre-summit summit.

The European Union has just agreed to a Campbell-like new target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40 per cent by 2030. But that’s dependent on the Paris summit reaching a legally binding international deal, something the United States remains unwilling to do. Meanwhile, Germany is building new coal-fired power plants.

In Ontario, a grandiose scheme to replace coal-

fired power with wind, solar and other renewables has produced steeply rising electricity rates and a political scandal over a cancelled plan to build gas-fired capacity.

The public continues to be bombarded with ginnedup stories of environmental destruction. You may have seen shocking TV reports in October of a “haul-out” of thousands of walruses on beaches around the Chukchi Sea in Alaska and Russia, with animals trampling each other.

The World Wildlife Fund and U.S. biologists rushed to media to frame this as a crisis caused by a lack of sea ice.

This claim has been demolished by Susan Crockford, an evolutionary biologist who teaches at the University of Victoria. If you Google “Walrus mass haulout hype refuted” you will find Crockford’s brief video showing a long, pre-industrial history of these events. She concludes that they are a sign of overpopulation in the nowprotected walrus herds.

Crockford’s website, polarbearscience.com, debunks similar claims made about supposedly disappearing polar bears that have been a mainstay over the years to drive the global warming catastrophe narrative.

In terms of actual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, there are signs of progress. The United States has made considerable strides, thanks to abundant shale gas that has allowed it to switch from some of its 600odd coal-fired power plants.

Which brings us back to B.C.’s push for natural gas exports. The NDP claims to support this, but has spent hours in the legislature warning of a giveaway of the resource, imagined fracking disasters and LNG tanker explosions and everything else they can dream up to throw at it.

This is the same party that campaigned against the carbon tax in 2009 and hasn’t had a coherent energy policy since.

But this isn’t some partisan game. It’s about whether B.C. maintains its gas industry. And so far natural gas is the only thing that has substantially cut carbon emissions.

Letters MISSION SHORES

Public hearing did not hear from public To the editor: After attending the Kelowna Council public hearing, Nov. 4, 2014, on the proposal to expand the dock at Mission Shores, I wish to express my disappointment in the proceedings. There is an expected protocol for public input at hearings, but it appears that it was not followed.

When citizens wish to have input on issues, they are required to submit their written points of view by 4 p.m. the previous day of the scheduled hearing in order to allow council members time to read the submissions. However, after meeting this deadline and listening to councillors discuss the Mission Shores dock expansion, they failed to mention most of my written concerns—appearing as if they had not read my document.

Further, I see it as a lack of due process if any councillor supports or rejects a motion without first reading all the associated documents, both pro and con. Such a failure appears to have occurred at this public hearing as my submitted concerns were never referred to by any councillor or the mayor. It appears that this council’s agenda to support business development, dominates concerns over public safety, environmental pollution, public health, recreational enjoyment, supporting a more ‘green’ agenda and protection of unique natural features.

I bring this issue forward at this time to suggest that the public consider some of these goals while listening to the political speeches of the candidates who wish to form our next council. I think these issues are all very important to this generation, and more importantly, to future generations, than putting more dollars in the pockets of the already wealthy.

COUNCIL SUCCESS

annual social membership at The Kelowna Yacht Club [for example] will cost over $1,000; the Paddle Club over $250.

Being ‘Open for Business’ could include more than the downtown. Both youth and seniors (age 50-100) could attend and benefit from amenities that are more accessible (distance, time, cost, barrier free, etc). Many successful people credit the towns that supported their talent or idea, through varied and often modest means, when they were young.

Town centres, aside from services, parks, etc., could provide varied places for planning and hosting gatherings, affordable events, etc. These local initiatives could build community, attendance and support for start-up ventures based on known needs, enhancing their success.

The new council will be busy with preapproved projects, but your vote may impact upcoming projects, if you vote for people: • who will improve quality of life not just for people with money to invest, but for our youth, seniors, people with diverse-abilities, those needing to use a food bank, etc.

• who will listen to residents and town centre issues and visions, tempered by residents’ associations, and less on developers’ visions • who, while facilitating being ‘open for business’ believe in and ensure the city is transparent and accountable • who only use fast-track approaches to public input when projects are noncontroversial or the majority of taxpayers will benefit (the alternative approval process, like negative option billing which is illegal when used by businesses, is a gamble in which the house (city) usually wins).

A ‘world class’ reputation is earned not by the number of projects started or completed but by their positive impact on the majority of the people they represent now and into the future. The same can be said for candidates.

Don’t vote if you’re just voting for whomever’s ‘in your face,’ a group or list of candidates unless from a trusted friend or family members, etc., or you might cancel the votes for your quality of life.

Before voting ask: Who best matches your wish list? Why are they running? Can they do the job? Who applauded their past projects and where is their endorsement/marketing support coming from (and going to)— investors, special interests, or people like you?

WRONG ROOSEVELT

To the editor: Federal and provincial governments focus on the economy and jobs. The Economic Development Commission (with Tourism’s marketing support) focuses on attracting investment/helping businesses such as our growing tech industry to create local jobs (Club Penguin, etc). Therefore municipalities, while being attractive to business, can focus on quality of life.

Being ‘Open for Business’ can benefit residents. However, re-creating the 20-year plan (that residents worked on), or using the Alternate Approval Process doesn’t seem to be a springboard to a better life for the majority. Most residents won’t get rich from the jobs created (clerks, waiters, cleaners) or can’t afford some recent endeavours. The

They helped her up and assessed her injuries, which turned out to be minor. The man with the truck drove her home and made sure she was safe.

Fascieux Creek Wetland in Kelowna to welcome new funding from Environment Canada towards phase 2 of the Okanagan Wetlands Strategy project and some significant additional work by the ONA. While phase 1 involved public outreach, data collection, prioritization, and mapping of Okanagan wetlands, phase 2 includes two years of hands-on wetland restoration and rehabilitation.

The goal is to complete six projects (three by March 31, 2015, and another three by March 31, 2016).

In support of this effort, $50,000 was granted to the OBWB for project management over two years, and another $50,000 was provided to ONA for hands-on wetland projects—both ONA-specific wetland projects, plus projects

with the OBWB. These hands-on projects include important work by ONA to support the Western painted turtle on the Penticton Indian Reserve near Penticton airport.

“Okanagan wetlands provide enormous benefits to people by protecting against floods, improving water quality and water supply, controlling erosion and supporting a host of recreational activities,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan.

“That is why I am proud to announce that our Conservative government is working with our community partners in taking action to conserve Okanagan wetlands and, where impacted, enhance or restore these valuable ecological resources.

“The Okanagan People have a strong relationship with the water,” added Penticton Indian Band Chief Jonathan Kruger, speaking for the Okanagan Nation.

“Protecting and enhancing wetlands is vital to maintaining that relationship.

“This project is part of the larger water strategy for the Nation and it is through partnerships like this, and collaboration that we will continue to move forward to ensure there is water for tomorrow.”

“Wetlands, once considered a nuisance and a waste of valuable land, are an important part of our community,” stressed OBWB chair Doug Findlater, noting the importance of the wetland strategy.

Today, more than

85 per cent of the Okanagan’s wetlands and natural riparian areas are gone, and remaining areas are at risk of loss, making the need for work in these areas all the more important, he added.

“Thanks to funding from Environment Canada, we are pleased to announce the hiring of Jillian Tamblyn as the OBWB’s Okanagan Wetlands Strategy project manager,” said Findlater, the mayor of West Kelowna.

“Over the next two years, Jillian will be working with the ONA, plus many more partners to see these projects through, helping create communities that are more resilient to flooding, and pleasant to live in.”

According to Tamblyn, Phase 2 recently kicked off with a fencing project at McLachlan Lake, helping protect a

wetland holding only a small amount of water and in need of protection from cattle and off-road vehicles.

In addition to the OBWB and ONA, partners in Phase 2 include the Regional District of Central Okanagan, B.C. Wildlife Federation, South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program, Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program, Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship Society, and B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

This partnership is expected to grow as more groups join in hands-on work, such as local fish and game clubs.

Phase 3 will involve the development of a comprehensive Okanagan Wetland Strategy document for future work, informed by the previous phases.

#KelownaVotes _____________________________________ KELOWNA CITY COUNCIL

Candidate upset signs being vandalized Kelowna city council candidate Charlie Hodge is being targeted by sign thieves yet again.

“I have lost 26 campaign signs in the last three days, including one large one stolen from my driveway,” a frustrated Hodge said Monday

morning.

“I am a tad miffed, to say the least. The 26 missing do not include one large and two small ones near the university that were obviously put on taboo territory.

“Silly me. I followed the crowd and put them up with other ones on the site.

Hodge said he is “choked” by the fact this is the second straight

campaign where he has had a significant number of signs stolen or vandalized.

During the 2008 campaign Hodge had more than 40 signs disappear.

“I am going to offer $100 to anyone that can catch these folks in action.”

While Hodge says he is not a huge political sign fan, “they are pretty

much a necessary evil in a municipal election in Kelowna. That is why I chose a small, narrow sign in design.”

Hodge says he would “like to believe it is not personal and just random; however, most of them have disappeared from among a myriad of other people’s campaign signs.

“A fellow candidate has very similar small signs, often in the same

location, and he has not lost any—so it is not about sign size.

“I can understand losing two or three to kids or silly adults, however 23 already with a week to go, is sad.

“I was hoping this election would be different. If anyone finds a pile in a dumpster or in a ditch please let me know,” Hodge said.

Advance poll voting opportunity for West Electoral Area voters The last opportunity for advance voting in this year’s Central Okanagan West Electoral Area Director election is Wednesday, Nov.12.

If qualified voters are not able to cast a ballot on general voting day, this Saturday, Nov. 15, they can vote today at the following locations between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.: • Westbank First Nation office, 1st Floor Boardroom (301-515 Highway 97 South) • Killiney Beach Community Library (514

Those people meeting the voting qualifications who live on Westbank First Nation Reserves #9 and #10 are eligible to vote in the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area Director election.

Voters must bring along two pieces of acceptable identification that proves their current residence and who they are and one of those documents must have a signature on it.

CANADIAN JUNIOR FOOTBALL

‘Tireless’ work earns Beatty national award whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Jay Christensen hasn’t run across many junior football coaches who are more committed to their job than Okanagan Sun field boss Shane Beatty.

So it came as no surprise to the Sun GM when Beatty was named recently as the Canadian Junior Football League’s coach of the year.

“He’s one of the hardest working coaches I’ve seen and it’s nice the league has recognized that,” Christensen said of Beatty. “There’s no doubt he’s done a great job with the guys, and a lot of it has to do with tireless hours he puts in, the recruiting, breaking down film…he certainly deserves the recognition.”

Beatty, who was in Langley last week— the site of the Canadian Bowl—to accept the award, said the recognition stretches far beyond the efforts of one person.

“I think (the award) speaks for the program as a whole,” said Beatty.

“It’s honour for me to be able to represent the organization in this way.”

After leading the club to a 7-3 record in his rookie season in 2013,

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

taken under Beatty’s tutelage has been commendable.

“The bottom line is, Shane helped put our team in a position to be successful,” said Christensen.

“That game against Langley for a trip to the Canadian Bowl came down to the last drive, and really when you go into a season you can’t ask for a whole lot more than being in that position and having a chance.

“I know Okanagan Sun head coach Shane Beatty led his team to a 9-1 rec- Shane would ord during the 2014 B.C. Football Conference regular season. be the first person to and the Sun’s dream of Beatty upped the ante give credit a national championship this year as the Sun to the players for the fell short in a 23-19 loss went 9-1 and clinched season they had,” added to the Langley Rams in the BCFC’s regular Christensen, “but the the conference final. season title. After a firsttime he put in and his Still, Christensen said round playoff win over passion for the job was the steps the Sun has Vancouver Island, Beatty such a huge part of the WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

success we had.”

As much as the Sun has progressed during Beatty’s tenure, the head coach said the job is far from being done.

“We’re going in the right direction,” said Beatty. “Obviously, we’re disappointed we didn’t beat Langley, but our goal continues to be to win a national championship.

I’m not planning to go anywhere until we take care of that.”

Beatty and Sun players who live in Kelowna during the off-season will begin their indoor workouts on the first Sunday in January at the Capital News Centre.

Hilltops win Canadian Bowl The Saskatoon Hilltops defeated the Langley Rams 39-14 on Saturday at McLeod Stadium to win the Canadian Bowl.

The perennial powerhouse Hilltops have won the national junior football championship five times in the last eight seasons—two of the last three over Langley.

The Rams defeated the Okanagan Sun 23-19 in the BCFC final on Oct. 26 at the Apple Bowl. @capnewsports.ca

Head coach Dan Lambert was happy to return home Sunday night and find nothing much had changed in his absence—the Kelowna Rockets were still riding high atop the Western Hockey League.

Under the interim guidance of assistants Kris Mallette and Travis Crickard, the Rockets posted a 5-0-1-0 record to further stretch their lead in the WHL standings.

Lambert, who spent 10 days in Sarnia, Ont. at the World Under 17 Challenge, wasn’t surprised by the job performed by his righthand men.

“They did a great job,” Lambert said of Mallette and Crickard. “I watched most of the games and was very happy with the we played. I’m not surprised at all…they’re both good coaches and very capable.”

Lambert re-joined the Rockets for the start of a five-game road trip Tuesday night in Spokane.

A final score wasn’t available at press time.

The club began the road tour without the services of captain Madison Bowey and centre Tyson Baillie who were with Team WHL for the Subway Super Series this week in Saskatoon

Dan Lambert

and Brandon.

Both are expected back in the lineup for Friday’s game in Prince George against the Cougars.

As for the World U17 Challenge, Lambert served as head coach of Team Red, one of three Canadian teams competing in a new format at the annual international tournament.

Lambert’s team lost in overtime to Canada Team White in the 5th/6th place game, while Canada Black finished seventh.

Russia beat the U.S. in the final.

“Obviously Hockey Canada was disappointed with where our teams finished, but the competition was very strong and those other teams play with one another for a long stretch of time,” Lambert said.

“In saying that, we did beat Sweden and that would be the highlight of our week.

“It was a good experience,” he added, “a real eye-opener.”

The Rockets’ next home action is Nov. 21 and 22 vs the Portland Winterhawks.

sports ____________________________________________________________________ CANADA WEST

The UBC Okanagan possibly deserved a better fate on Friday night, but in the end emerged from the opening weekend of the Canada West women’s basketball without a victory.

The Explorer Division pre-season favourites UFV Cascades swept both ends of a doubleheader from the hometown Heat, as Heather Semeniuk kicked off her 21st and final campaign as head coach of the Okanagan’s varsity program On Friday, the Heat controlled play and led for much of the game before the Cascades rallied to win in overtime 82-75.

All I can say is that the first year kids are better at second year,” she said, “and the second year kids are better at third, and so on. They’re just playing better..”

Heather Semeniuk, women’s basketball head coach McDonald forced extra time, during which UFV outscored the Heat 12-5.

The result spoiled a huge effort by Heat guard Sarah Allison who had 28 points, four rebounds and two assists.

Despite the loss, Semeniuk eschewed

confidence in a team that looks to have built a fresh identity to try and make some noise in the league this year. “All I can say is that the first year kids are better at second year,” she said, “and the second year kids are better at third, and so on. They’re just playing better.”

On Saturday, the Cascades were a notch better in a 78-58 win over the Heat.

UFV jumped on top early and never looked back as the Heat struggled from threepoint range, going just 1 for 12.

“We came out against a team that played better,” said Semeniuk simply. “(Fraser Valley) just played better, and they played better than

men kept it close, but couldn’t find a way to solve the Fraser Valley Cascades on opening weekend of the Canada West basketball season.

On Friday in Kelowna, Mitch Goodwin’s 19-point effort wasn’t enough as the Heat fell to UFV 8276. Goodwin, the lone returning starter, was 7-for-7 from the line and was the Heat’s player of the game.

On Saturday, UBCO was once again in the game from start to finish before succumbing 8173.

David Manshreck paced the Heat attack with 24 points and added 11 rebounds.

All in all, head coach Pete Guarasci said the Heat didn’t have the finish they needed.

“I think in the end we had a lot of good

looks around the rim, but we didn’t finish a lot of shots that we should have finished,” Guarasci added. “We just left a lot of points off the board and couldn’t come up with back-to-back stops defensively to get us over the hump.”

The Heat (0-2) will be in Calgary Friday to take on Mount Royal.

Warriors open home stand this Friday The West Kelowna Warriors will kick off a four-game BCHL home stand on Friday night against the Merritt Centennials.

Face off at Royal LePage is 7 p.m.

The Warriors will then host Victoria on Saturday, and the Langley Chiefs next Tuesday night.

West Kelowna was in Langley last night, however a final score wasn’t available at press time.

Prior to Tuesday’s game, the Warriors had won five of their last six outings.

Following a 5-4 loss to Merritt on Friday, West Kelowna rebounded with a 5-0 victory over the Prince George Spruce Kings at LePage.

Scott Patton was the star of the day, as the Warriors goaltender stopped 42 shots, including 21 in the first period alone.

“Anytime you stop all the pucks I wouldn’t say it’s a reflection of the goaltender but it’s a reflection of a team,” Patton said.

Michael Buonincontri paced the Warriors’ attack with a goal and two assists, while newcomer Brayden Gelsinger added a goal and an assist. Gelisnger,

“I know it’s a cliché but this weekend was a total team effort,” said Heat coach Steve Manuel. “Our team has matured over the past few weekends. We are seeing new people step into leadership roles and everyone making contributions at different times.”

Fourth-year outside Brianna Beamish led the Heat with a match-high nine kills and a team-

Regular starting middle Katy Klomps was not with the team on the weekend, but Manuel was very pleased with how others stepped up to the plate. “Our middles were very effective both days. It was great to see Katie Wuttunee and Erin Drew making their presence felt.”

Team Brucker (2-2) wasn’t going away this night and came back with a deuce in the fourth and sixth ends and looked like they had Ashley Furniture in the extra end when skip Gary Gelowitz (3-1) made a great hit and roll from the edge of the rings to the four foot for the 9-8 victory.

• Stolairus Aviation (Skip—Dave Mellof) vs Foothills Creamery (Skip—Shawn Mamchur): Stolairus Aviation (31) controlled the game after taking a single in the first end and three in the second end and then held Foothills Creamery (22) to only 2 points in the remaining ends to post the 6-2 victory.

• FM Design Build (Skip—Wes McInnis) vs Shaw Media (Skip—Ryan Gatti): Shaw Media (22) played tough not allowing FM Design Build (0-4) anything easy and finally wore them down to post a 5-2 win and move into a five way tie for third place.

On Saturday, Valley West rallied with a threegoal third period to edge the Rockets 4-3.

Discipline was a huge factor for the Rockets, as they watched the Hawks score on two of eight power play opportunities.

“We have always prided ourselves on being a disciplined club, but the past few weeks we

have really got away from that,” said Rockets GM David Michaud. “I don’t know many hockey clubs that can hand out that many power play chances and get away with it.”

Connor Bowey, Witala and Sam Binfet scored in the loss for Okanagan.

Flagbearers march toward a Remembrance ceremony held at UBCO Friday.

Capital

Remembrance Day ceremonies at UBC Okanagan Friday were particularly somber this year as those gathered paid respects to the two soldiers recently killed on Canadian soil as well as those who served before them in wars in foreign countries.

The deaths of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was fatally shot at the National War Memorial in Ottawa Oct. 22, and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who was killed in a deliberate hit-and-run in Quebec two days before that, put the ceremony in sharp focus for the hundreds who gathered.

The acting dean of the university, Barb Rutherford, pointed out

that the sacrifices of Canada’s soldiers seem “closer than ever” with the loss of two soldiers on Canadian soil.

“It left our country in mourning,” she said, adding that we must learn from their service and sacrifice.

This year’s ceremony also marks the centennial of the beginning of the First World War. All of that war’s veterans are dead now, while the veterans of the Second World War, which started just 25 years later, are dying at a rate of about 1,500 a day in North America.

When a vein or artery Physical trauma from a

motor vehicle accident, repetitive stress injury from work or sports, anatomical defects such as having an extra rib, poor posture, and pressure on the joints due to body weight or because of carrying an oversized backpack or purse can all lead to thoracic outlet syndrome.

Even a long-ago injury can lead to thoracic outlet syndrome in the present, as can pregnancy, because of the joints loosening. In some cases, the cause of thoracic outlet syndrome cannot be determined.

Treatment for thoracic outlet syndrome usually involves a combination of exercises, relaxation, and medications.

Physiotherapy is used to open the thoracic outlet, improve range of motion and posture, and strengthen the shoulder muscles. Relaxation techniques may help to reduce tension in the shoulders and maintain posture. Medications such as muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatories, and pain medications may be prescribed for pain relief.

In severe cases where the syndrome does not improve, surgery may be recommended.

Acupuncture is also an option worth considering for thoracic outlet syndrome. It is a wellknown therapy for pain relief and for musculoskeletal conditions.

Chinese medicine

(TCM) does not use the term “thoracic outlet syndrome,” diagnosis instead depends on the specific symptoms that an individual is presenting.

Typically thoracic outlet syndrome will be categorized as an injury to the tendon, a bisyndrome (pain caused by a blockage in one of the body’s meridians and a lack of circulation of qienergy and blood to the area), or a wei-syndrome (weakening and evening atrophying of a muscle due to a lack of proper nutrients or blood and qi-energy circulation).

Acupuncture can help with thoracic outlet syndrome in a number of ways. Acupuncture of course offers very effective pain relief, and it can also reduce inflammation and relax tight muscles or tendons to relieve pressure to the nerve or tendon.

Treatment also helps to remove blockages and increase blood circulation and energy, so that the area can receive adequate nourishment to function properly and to heal.

Acupuncture can also resolve any imbalances in the meridians that may be causing a weakness in

Musical path to help enlighten Mayors prioritize mental health the entrepreneurial journey RECOGNIZING A CRISIS

It was with encouragement I read about a recent meeting of B.C. mayors.

By unanimous vote, the BC Mayors’ Caucus has declared the crisis around mental health, addictions and homelessness as a top priority for all communities.

At the Union of BC Municipalities convention in September, our province’s mayors agreed these problems are on the rise and they want action from the provincial government.

The Mayors’ Caucus wants the province to provide more long-term care beds for those with severe addictions and mental illness and also to increase community services so that everyone has access to appropriate care.

Ever since our last long term residential mental

Healing Minds PAUL LATIMER health facility closed in 2012, there has been a rise in mental healthrelated problems in B.C. communities.

This is not surprising and echoes what has been happening across the country ever since the trend toward deinstitutionalization began in the 1970s.

Governments love the idea of shutting down large mental health institutions because of the cost savings.

Unfortunately, the idea behind deinstitutionalization requires a simultaneous bolstering of communitybased treatment centres

and these never seem to get the necessary level of funding.

What results are more mentally ill people living on the streets and getting snared in our justice system rather than being properly cared for and supported.

Mental health professionals have been talking about this for years and it seems at least one level of government is finally getting the idea.

The way we’re doing this is simply not working.

We are dealing with people in ERs and jails instead of helping them remain functional within the community setting.

This isn’t good for the individuals and it costs us more as well.

Finally, some of the municipalities in BC have adopted policies such as

~GENTLEMEN~ GE T READY ~ GE T SE T I T ’S

‘housing first’ to combat homelessness among the mentally ill and addicted.

This has had some excellent preliminary results and it is nice to see other communities coming on board.

Cities are also developing strategies to end homelessness and calling on the province to help with coordinating health care, police, social services and community supports for people dealing with complex issues. If our local, provincial and federal governments could all combine their efforts to make these issues a longterm priority, I believe it would be possible to put an end to homelessness in our province.

Not only that, I don’t think it is beyond our grasp to create a wellorganized network of services combining community supports with long-term beds for those who need it. We should be able to give excellent care to all our citizens and ensure we all have access to a healthy and dignified life. dr@okanaganclinicaltrials.com

This week I thought that I would be slightly wicked and take a break from creative thought to offer some stimulus that I extracted from others—a top four entrepreneur song list.

These four songs relate to entrepreneurship in some fashion and could help to motivate, inspire, cheer or just make you mushy, gushy and tearyeyed again about your entrepreneurial dreams.

Seriously, self-motivation is especially useful in entrepreneurship because you don’t have a boss to get that from.

These songs are the ones I may personally listen to in times of deep resolve and seemingly endless troubles, or just need some extra boost of optimism and inspiration, and, believe me, they do help a lot.

So here goes, a top four entrepreneurial song list for you: • Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson—this is a personal favourite as it often pertains to dreaming of adventures outside of the four walls of my office.

Any employee who

Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG is passionate about breaking free of their cubicle and exploring the wide world of entrepreneurship would certainly relate to this song. This song is of reaching your dreams and extending your reach beyond your grasp—of taking aim and taking flight.

Favourite Lines: “ I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn to fly, I do what it takes til I touch the sky, Make a wish, take a chance, Make a change and break away.”

Wow, this says it all doesn’t it for all you budding entrepreneurs?

afraid of dreaming and having the courage and faith to chase our dreams relentlessly until they manifest themselves.

Favourite Lines: “Your mind will take you far The rest is just in your heart.

You’ll find your fate is all your own creation” • A World Filled With Love by Age of Wonder— OK, I can get schmaltzy at times and for those who got it, yeah, this is from the ending song of Dragon Ball. A very positive and light song, it seems, as it tells of ventures and adventures, of adversities and having the strength of heart and courage to overcome them.

Favourite Lines: Let’s not lose out precious time: They are really hard to find.

Let’s all go and find adventures in this life.

Oh, we may see some mysteries that puzzle everyone.

We must be strong to face them all like battles to be won.”

• We are the Champions by Queen— This song applies to so much of life including our entrepreneurial pursuits. Sometimes, you get that wonderful gush of excitement from achieving success after what can seem like a long haul of darkness and despair.

And, we will always tell ourselves that the celebration outcome should, in fact, rock the world.

Favourite Lines: “I’ve paid my dues; time after time; I’ve done my sentence; but committed no crime; And bad mistakes; I’ve made a few; I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face; But, I’ve come through – We are the champions, my friends; And we’ll keep on fighting till the end; We are the champions, We are the champions; No time for losers; Cause we are the champions…of the world…

Hope the therapy of listening to these motivating songs gives you a push to get you moving closer to your entrepreneurial dream. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

Grad student’s gleaning project engaging community Life is a juggling act for Casey Hamilton.

Social entrepreneur. Antipoverty advocate. Urban sustainability activist.

Dietitian. Backyard fruit harvester.

Two years ago, she founded the Okanagan Tree Fruit Project, salvaging the excess production from backyard fruit trees.

From an initial pick of 5,000 pounds in 2012, the Okanagan Fruit Tree Project reaped 17,500 pounds last year, and this year’s tally surpassed 30,000 pounds of fruit and produce by midOctober. The volunteer base has swelled to nearly 400 pickers and a juicing operation was added last year for fundraising.

“I’m a passionproject person. I think it’s important to put your efforts where your heart is,” said Hamilton. “I needed to do something tangible. I think I have always been driven by helping people.”

Hamilton is pursuing a master of science degree in urban agricultural policy at the Kelowna campus. The hyphenate extraordinaire is also a dietitian with Campus Health and a research coordinator with the Campus Health VOICE and Wellbeing projects.

She established the Central Okanagan Food Policy Council in 2010 to ease poverty in B.C.’s Interior by developing resource sharing among non-profits.

Hamilton is equally adept working with students, pitching suits for business advice, or picking apples.

“Her professional training as a dietitian, coupled with her graduate studies research on policy change is a dynamite combination,” said UBCO associate professor Alan Davidson with the School of Health and Exercise Sciences.

Hamilton consulted a former business analyst with Tetley Tea and Canada Safeway, tapped into expertise about food security issues, and got a project coordinator on board.

The Okanagan Fruit Tree Project was soon in business as a structured non-profit enterprise with a board of directors and a mission to fill a horn of plenty for the poor.

Like a well-tended garden, the community gleaning initiative thrives.

long way toward ensuring the seminar opened up new vistas for students,” said Davidson.

A 2007 BSc graduate in food nutrition and health from UBC’s Vancouver campus, Hamilton then worked for Interior Health in Kelowna as a dietitian.

She decided to tackle poverty by analysing cities and urban landscapes, identifying barriers and devising novel policy ideas to overcome them.

Hamilton sees B.C.’s Central Interior as a food source to benefit those struggling with the

most basic elements of survival—food security and a roof over their head.“Instead of teaching people to eat healthy diets, I want to work at creating environmental supports to live a healthy life. I want to take part in changing the system.”

Casey Hamilton founded the Okanagan Tree Fruit Project two years ago to salvage the excess production from backyard fruit trees.

Its harvest adds valuable sources of food for the community, increasing the availability of healthy fruit for those in need, reducing food waste, and promoting local food security and volunteerism; 30 community non-profit groups benefit from juice sales and fruit donations.

With sponsorships and support from the Okanagan Changemakers social enterprise forum, Hamilton’s efforts

garnered $23,000 in operating funds.

“I want to help people understand they have opportunities in life. You show them by doing, instead of just talking about it,” she said.

By blending social activism with scholarly inquiry, the Okanagan Fruit Tree Project has also become a policy plank in Hamilton’s master’s thesis.

Davidson, her faculty supervisor, says there is a

well-established tradition of action research and a parallel tradition of critical research in academia.

“Casey is a very good example of a student doing just that.”

Hamilton co-taught a course on health policy, bringing her experience in advocacy and coalition building to a group of senior undergraduate students.“Her energy, enthusiasm and sincerity are infectious and went a

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Kelowna Gyro Club has made Avoid the an impact on city lifestyle stress of moving William Arkinstall Contributor

There is a secret group in Kelowna that few people know about; not because it’s a secret society or because it wants to be kept secret. It just is.

Active in Kelowna for 79 years, many of Kelowna’s movers and shakers have been members.

The group includes a cross section of Kelowna’s prominent business men, city councilors, doctors and lawyers.

Two provincial premiers have been members, and one of them, Bill Bennett, is still a member.

This secret group is the Kelowna Gyro Club, founded in 1924 by three college friends who started the Gyro organization in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1912.

Wanting to keep their friendship alive on a larger scale, they formed the International Gyro Club, which would spread across the United States into Canada and flourished for a period in the United Kingdom.

Today, there are 4,500 Gyro members across Canada and the United States, with members in every province and state. The Gyro Club’s purpose is to share friendship and fellowship among members and throughout society in general.

Perhaps one of the reasons Gyro is not well known is because it is not a service organization like the Lions or Rotary and doesn’t

Boyce-Gyro Park in the Mission. keep its name in the public eye to the same extent as others.

Yet the Kelowna Gyro Club does do a lot for Kelowna and the other communities across North America.

One of the club’s early members, Dr. Benjamin deFurlong Boyce, donated five lakeshore lots to create Gyro Park originally.

The club bought additional lots along the lakeshore at the bottom of Richter to expand the park.

The Kelowna Gyro Club maintained the park for many years until 1974 when it was sold to the city for one dollar.

The club continues to support the park to make it more enjoyable for the people of Kelowna and the tourists who enjoy our city.

Gyro history The Kelowna Gyro Club,

which has been a major part of the lives of many prominent men in our city, has existed for 102 years.

Gyro was originally started by three very good college friends in Cleveland in 1912. Wanting to keep their friendship alive they started the club, calling it Gyro.

Rather than being a service club the three men determined that the purpose of Gyro would be a friendship and fellowship club and open to men of all creeds and religions.

They chose the name Gyro for the club as a gyroscope holds its course. Gyro obviously filled a need.

In spite of the First World War, the club rapidly spread in interest and memberships.

Soon there were clubs throughout the United States, Canada and for a

CONTRIBUTED

short period of time the UK. The Kelowna club was started and got its charter in 1924, sponsored by the Vancouver club.

Gyro does not seek publicity and subsequently is not well known but has had many past influential members from WAC Bennett and his son Bill Bennett to Don Fillmore, Dave Chapman, Len Leathly, Dick Parkinson and many others.

A number of Kelowna’s medical profession were members, most notably Dr. Benjamin Boyce who donated the land that created Gyro Park.

The club was active contributing in many ways to the city. In 1934, the Kelowna Gyros sponsored the May Day Queen celebration which later developed into the Lady of the Lake Pageant. The club was a major

donor in funding and helping to start the construction of the Memorial Arena The Kelowna Gyro Club remains one to the major contributors to the Okanagan Foundation as well as helping to purchase much needed equipment for the Kelowna General Hospital.

The club is smaller now but still active, meeting twice a month.

The Gyros hold an annual super summer party and has just finished its installation process for the new executive with Dennis Denney taking over as the new president.

Check out the Kelowna Gyro Club website at Kelowna.gyro.ws1. or call at 250-764-7830 for more information.

William Arkinstall is a member of the Kelowna Gyro Club.

Do you own a home now and have been thinking it’s time to move up or downsize?

While it can be stressful to sell and buy simultaneously, the guidelines we have provided below can help make the two transactions as smooth as possible.

You will start by getting the facts on your existing home. A real estate agent can provide you with a detailed market evaluation on your home or you can pay for an appraisal by a licensed appraiser.

Once you have an idea of how much you will net from the sale of your existing home, you will be in a position to determine your price point for a purchase and begin to structure your financing.

Be conservative with your down payment amount, remembering to allow for real estate commissions on the sale, legal fees for both transactions and property transfer tax on the new purchase.

If you have an existing mortgage, find out if the mortgage is portable to a new property. Keep in mind you are required to qualify when you “port” an existing mortgage to a new property—you are only porting the terms of the mortgage and will be required to re-qualify based on your current financial situation. If you were to pay out your existing mortgage in order to secure a better rate would there be a penalty? If you are porting and require additional funds to purchase can the new mortgage rate be blended?

An option to consider is keeping your existing home as a rental and purchasing the new home to live in or vice versa. Rental income can be included to qualify and if you are using the equity from your existing home it could be refinanced to access your equity for the purchase.

Based on your findings at this point you will now be in a position to be pre-approved for the purchase and begin the search for that new home. If you do not qualify with your current lender, discuss your situation with a mortgage broker. Mortgage brokers have access to several lenders and criteria required for qualification varies with each lender.

In the event your sale closes after the purchase and you need the funds for the down payment you can obtain bridge financing, which amounts to a short-term loan to cover the down payment. You must have a firm sale on your existing home to qualify for bridge financing and once your existing home is sold the funds go directly to the lender.

Terms and costs vary for bridge financing.

Of Prime Interest column is a collaboration of mortgage brokers Trish Balaberde (250-470-8324) and Christine Hawkins (250-826-2001).

Green Square townhomes appealing investment It has been a busy summer for the Green Square townhomes project in Kelowna.

Nestled in the city’s popular Lower Mission, the development has now entered the third of 10 phases of construction.

Phases one and two have sold out but that came as no surprise to Green Square sales manager Andrea Kelly.

On the benefits of owning a townhome, Kelly said: “You can sit on your large patio and enjoy breakfast in your robe while someone else takes care of the lawn and weeds.

“Owning a townhome, at Green Square in particular, there is the benefit of being in a safe and extremely friendly community which beams of pride in ownership.”

Troika Developments broke ground on Green Square in December 2012.

Renee Wasylyk, founder and chief executive officer of Troika, referred to the townhome community as “a smart choice for smart people…[that] allows buyers to enjoy the Mission lifestyle without the Mission price tag.”

Green Square offers modern, three bedroom townhomes ranging from 1,352 to 1,761 square-feet with prices starting in the mid-$300,000 range.

Each home boasts high-end finishing that comes standard, a luxury that most developers offer as an additional-cost upgrade.

Home to young professionals, families with children, and retirees, Green Square appeals to a variety of buyers and investors.

The neighbourhood offers ease of lifestyle and the convenience of nearby amenities.

Schools, beaches, shopping, and recreation facilities are all within walking distance of the property.

Naturally, the environment is top of mind at Green Square.

Eco-friendly design and construction are complimented with plenty of outdoor green space and grass-covered laneways that run through the complex.

The Green Square show home officially opened last Saturday, Unit 19-3626 Mission Springs Dr. To learn more check out the website greensquare.ca.

is short—and a buyers’ market in the higher price category.

On the other hand, the North Okanagan market remains stable for both buyers and sellers.”

The price of single family homes is fairly steady in most areas with modest gains seen in some locations where supply is tightening.

On the decline for the past seven months, active listings are currently 12 per cent lower than in October 2013, significantly reducing the selection of entry level homes, particularly in the Central and North Okanagan where new listings are scarce.

“If you are looking to sell before winter sets in, now is the time to list while prices are strong, the demand is high and inventory low, and more importantly, less competition for buyers than in the spring,” Griffiths said.

She warns that the competition for buyers can still be a challenge for sellers if properties are not priced attractively from the start.

“Being realistic about the market value of your home and willing to negotiate for the best offer are the keys to a successful sale.”

The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB) reports for October that sales activity of all MLS property types improved by 15 per cent compared to the same month in 2013.

“While October numbers were lower than the September highs, they were still well ahead of the seasonal average as home sales in the Okanagan-Shuswap market continue to outperform last year,” said Darcy Griffiths, OMREB president and a North Okanagan realtor.

“Spurred by pent-up demand, robust consumer confidence, and a steadily improving provincial economy, the strong upward year-over-year and monthover-month trajectory in our board area has continued for seven consecutive months.

“We are cautiously optimistic that this trend will carry onward and into 2015 as confidence builds, especially with the variety of positives in the region and their multiplying effect on our market.”

Sales activity within OMREB’s three diverse market areas tends to vary among property types zone-byzone and month-by-month with ups and downs at different times and locations.

The Shuswap Zone leads the way this month with a 27 per cent improvement over October 2013, compared to 14 per cent in the Central Okanagan and 12 per cent in the North Okanagan.

The Shuswap Zone also saw a 50 per cent rise in single family residential sales compared to 22 per cent in the Central Okanagan and six per cent in the North Okanagan.

“The best value for buyers is still in the Shuswap where there is more supply than demand and prices remain relatively low, despite confident local buyers coming back into the market,” Griffiths noted.

“Conditions in the Central Okanagan are in sellers’ market territory with more demand than supply in some areas—especially in homes priced below $500,000 where inventory

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.

The movie is being produced by Rick Dugdale, an Enderby native who is now one of the principals in the production company Enderby Entertainment, a Los Angeles based independent film, television and digital media company.

Go With Me will be directed by Swedish director Daniel Alfredson who directed the hugely successful international films, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.

The film is based on the novel of the same name which was written by Castle Freeman Jr. “We are very pleased to have Rick, who has brought production to the area previously, return to the Okanagan to shoot this film and to bring such a

prestigious director and talent to our region,” Summerland said.

“We are finding that once a production company has worked here they like to come back as our locations, amenities and crews have so much to offer.

“This film has a healthy budget and will provide our local crews with a lot of work. We have already talked to crew from Vernon, Kelowna and Summerland. Contrary, to what people have heard, they’re in fact thrilled with the fact that they have hired almost 50 per cent of their crew local. This really bodes well for the region and future projects.”

Okanagan Film Commission chair John Trainor said local businesses should feel the impact of the production for the next few months.

“2014 is turning out to be another incredible year for the Okanagan film and animation industry. The continued hard work is paying off, creating a growing industry in our region,” said Trainor.

Hollywood filmmakers return to the Okanagan

On their own initiative, the Grade 7 class at Our Lady of Lourdes School were inspired to act upon what they had been learning in the classroom last week. As part of their Human Dignity Unit, the class decided to help out the Westside Community Food Bank, in a project which they planned and implemented on their own. The students set a goal to collect two items per student and staff member at school. The group then advertised, collected and delivered the food, and helped stock shelves at the food bank. The final tally was 284 food items.

Diabetes and plant-based diet Do you realize that just by Eating tweaking a few Right aspects of your life, BEVERLY you can go from EDWARDSbeing chronically HAINES sick to brimming with vibrant health?

Case in point, let’s take a look at diabetes.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. It’s quite astonishing how many Canadians are afflicted with this mostly lifestyle-related condition. In a country of around 35.5 million people, the Canadian Diabetes Association reports that there are some nine million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes.

That number astounds me. And to make things sound even worse, 20 people are diagnosed with diabetes every hour.

This debilitating condition can seem toothless at first, but over time it can result in organ damage and failure, blindness and amputations.

But, here’s the really cool thing about your body—it’s so forgiving.

Even after years of subjecting it to inactivity and the wrong types of foods, as soon as you start to treat it right, your body will usually start

on a wonderful healing journey.

It’s exciting to realize that type 2 diabetes is one of those conditions that for many people can be reversed by improving your diet, exercising and maintaining a healthy weight.

But is it possible to prevent diabetes?

One of my favourite healthy lifestyle organizations, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, is all about that. Their research attests to the powerful effect a plant-based diet, with all its antioxidants and phytonutrients, can have on decreasing your risk for lifestyle-related conditions such as diabetes.

We have the studies to show how eating more fibre-rich, lowsugar, low-fat foods can help to prevent, arrest, or reverse not only diabetes, but a slew of other health conditions as well.

PCRM’s website pcrm.org is full of fantastic information about preventing disease or starting your own healing journey.

I’ll be teaching PCRM’s “Food for Life: Diabetes” and “Food for

Life: Cancer” classes right here in Kelowna beginning Nov. 17.

The four-session classes include informative videos on how to improve your lifestyle for disease prevention, delicious recipe demonstrations to help you enhance your diet, and written take-home materials.

Here’s the line-up of upcoming classes: Wednesday, Nov.12, 7 p.m., “Why Raw?”—a free talk and recipe demonstration on eating more raw!

Mondays, Nov. 17 to Dec. 8, 6:30 p.m., PCRM’s “Food for Life: Diabetes”— $142 Wednesday, Nov.19, 6:30 p.m., “Forget Cooking! Introduction to Raw Food Cuisine”—$34 Wednesdays, Nov. 26 to Dec. 17, 6:30 pm, PCRM’s “Food for Life: Cancer”—$142 All classes will be held at the Kelowna Lifestyle Centre, 1130 Springfield Rd.

Youth eating disorders targeted Parent support group, P.E.A.C.E. in Mind gets helping hand from UBC Okanagan nursing students

Eating disorders stem from serious conditions that can have profound psychological and medical complications on a person, including death.

A group of fourth-year nursing students at UBC’s Okanagan campus aims to help a local not-forprofit organization called P.E.A.C.E. in Mind, which supports parents and families raising children and youth with mental health disorders.

“Many people may have some awareness of what these illnesses look like, but few have a true appreciation of their impact on one’s life and mental well-being,” said nursing student Lynn Tran.

P.E.A.C.E. stands for Parents Empowered and Children Encouraged. Its mission is to create public awareness, knowledge, and understanding about children’s mental-health issues, and identify gaps in youth mental health services, says Christa Akins, founder of the organization.

UBC Okanagan fourth-year nursing students(from left) Lynn Tran, Taya Vilac and Alysa Mortimore are helping P.E.A.C.E of Mind raise awareness about mental health and eating disorders that affect children and youth.

One such gap, says Akins, is the need for a more intensive treatment program for young people with eating disorders.

P.E.A.C.E. in Mind is supporting the

development of a day treatment centre in Kelowna, and is seeking community support.

Parents are often told that they have to wait weeks or months before they can see a

professional for treatment for their child, says Akins.

P.E.A.C.E. in Mind offers advocacy, peer support, resource and education, and a place for comfort for parents and children.

As their leadership and political action project, three fourth-year nursing students Alysa Mortimore, Taya Vilac and Tran are organizing a community awareness event, in partnership with

P.E.A.C.E in Mind, to help parents raising children with mental-health disorders.

“Eating disorders are very complex and often associated with serious physical complications,”

said Tran.

“Just imagine the mental turmoil a parent must go through while waiting; the fear, the helplessness, and the loneliness.”

The public event takes place tonight (Wednesday), Nov.12, at UBC’s Okanagan campus, UNC Ballroom, from 7 to 9 p.m.

The event will focus on mental health issues of children affected by eating disorders.

There will be a panel discussion moderated by 1150 AM morning show host Phil Johnson.

Participating panelists will include pediatrician Dr. Kim Burrows, psychiatrist Dr. Heather Derry, registered nurse Mary Lamoureux and Akins.

Admission is free; however, donations to P.E.A.C.E. in Mind will be accepted.

Funds raised will help support space and operating expenses for the not-for-profit organization.

CGA DESIGNATION

Kelowna accountants graduate rigorous CGA designation program Eleven Kelowna certified general accountants received their CPA, CGA designation at the convocation ceremony held Nov.1 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

The graduating 11 are: Elizabeth

Demer, Heather Eccles, Senne Echterbecker, Min He, Lisa Houghton, Catherine Lecours, Susan Moran, Shauna Odermatt, Carly Reise, Janelle Weiss and Junrong Wu. “The CPA, CGA designation is

earned by completing a rigorous educational program that’s designed to ensure excellent business and accounting competencies,” said Gordon Ruth, executive vice-president of certifications and operations

for the Chartered Professional Accountants of BC (CPABC) Joint Venture.

“It is an exciting time for our new graduates as we move towards unification under the CPA banner.

They represent a new generation of professional accountants who will add great value to the businesses who employ them,”added Richard Rees, president and chief executive officer of the CPABC.

news ____________________________________________________________________ INAUGURAL REPAIR CAFE

Finding a renewed value in fixing things that don’t work Do you have a household item in need of repair, don’t want to toss it out, but stumped on how to fix it?

That toaster that just won’t toast? A lamp in need of rewiring?

The old bicycle sitting neglected with a flat?

A chair suffering from wobbly leg syndrome?

Some clothes in need of mending or a little TLC? Then the Central Okanagan’s inaugural Repair Café could be just the event you’re looking for.

Hosted by the Regional Waste Reduction Office, the Repair Café takes place at Okanagan College Centre for Learning on Saturday Nov. 22, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. And yes, it’s all free.

“Quite often, when you get an item repaired,

it’s a drop off, pick up process, and you’re entirely removed from the actual repair work,” said regional waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart.

“At the Repair Café, the idea is that people are the process, and the free repairing of items engages everyone participating.”

“And let’s face it, the sad truth is many household items have become cheaper to replace than repair, and the list of companies that refurbish items or fix broken appliances is short.”

Stewart says the Repair Cafes enlist handy volunteers to help fix broken household items at no cost and teach basic repair skills.

“They help shift us from a throw away to a fix-it society. The Repair

Café offers the perfect solution.“ Stewart said most of the “fixers” are simply hobbyists who enjoy helping others and want

to keep items out of the landfill.

“They’re all volunteering their time.

They vary in age and background, just like

those that will come with broken items to be fixed.

The Repair Café concept started in the Netherlands. While new to this area, Stewart says

the concept is now part of a growing international network, “a celebration of the great things that can be done when we pool our skills knowledge

and resources.”

FIPKE, LEONARD EDGAR (ED) Ed was born on January 13, 1923 in Leduc (Rollyview), Alberta. He passed away peacefully on November 4, 2014 at the age of 91 at the Sunpointe Village Care Home.

Ed leaves his beloved wife of 69 years, Anna. He is survived by his 3 sons: Charles, Wayne (Ava), Neil (Linda) and 1 daughter Carole Chawrun (Bill), also his sister Edna Tomlinson. Along with 13 Grandchildren, 19 Great-Grandchildren, and 3 Great-Great Grandchildren.

Ed grew up on a dairy farm and then went on to attend the University of Saskatchewan. His first year was cut short after the sudden death of his Father in a farming accident, he then moved back home to help his Mother on the farm.

He married Anna Tober in 1945 and spent most of his working life as an Aerial Farm Photographer. They moved to Kelowna in 1961 and then purchased a farm in Peachland in 1963, where they lived for 41 years. Ed retired in 1988. Ed was always an optimist and had a wonderful sense of humor. Ed enjoyed life in many ways, including playing the violin and accordion, he also loved to dance, travel, reading, and farming. As a couple they were known for their hospitality when they held annual “Corn Roasts” on their family farm.

After retirement, one of Ed’s greatest moments was when he and his wife, Anna, got baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1989. “The family would like to extend their deep gratitude to Dr. Mackle and the Sunpointe Residential Care Village staff for their excellent care of Ed.” A memorial service will be held on November 15, 2014 at 2 pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1039 KLO Rd.

WEST KELOWNA

District workplace earns recognition The District of West Kelowna was honoured with the 2014 Employer Award for Career Enhancement and Success of Technology Professionals at the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC annual awards and recognition celebration earlier this month in Vancouver.

The award recognizes the district as an employer which creates a work environment that accommodates the career success of technology professionals.

“This is a great honour for the district. Our practice has always been to require employee candidates for our engineering-related positions to be members, or eligible to be members, of this organization, as well as meeting all the qualifications for the position,” said West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater.

“We know that the ASTTBC examines and approves candidates for membership based on education and experience and helps us ensure that we are recruiting the most qualified and competent employees in the field. It is great to know that this practice of ours is appreciated by this professional organization.”

The district currently has eight employees who are members of the ASTTBC in various departments and is recruiting for one more. The municipality also offers on-the-job training for past and present engineering co-op students enrolled in civil engineering and there have been several promotional opportunities within the organization for existing technologists.

“As Premier of the Province of British Columbia, it is my great pleasure to join with the Applied Science technologist and technicians of B.C. in congratulating you on being recognized as a 2014 recipient of the Employer Award,” said B.C. Premier Christy Clark, who is also West Kelowna’s MLA.
