News KELOWNA GENERAL HOSPITAL

State-of-the-art tools come to Okanagan operations Jean Russell

Dr. Gary Goplen compares the new operating rooms in the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre at Kelowna General Hospital with old style ORs.

Doug Rankmore

“If you look in a traditional OR there is a fair amount of equipment on the floor. The booms replace a lot of that—it gets it up and easier to sterilize everything.”

A sterile environment is a huge deal in any hospital. The entire design of this facility starts with how to let cleaning staff get at everything—right out to door hinges.

Additionally, the offfloor booms are out of the way to facilitate easy access by the surgical team to the patient and equipment.

“Increasingly as we get more techniques we need new equipment,”

Guy Fradet

said Dr. Gary Goplen, co-chairman of the KGH Foundation Be a Lifesaver Campaign. A former chief of surgery at KGH, Goplen said the

quarters, surgeons and the five or six specialists in these ORs will have room to carry out their functions. “With this sort of set-up there will be lots of room for patient management, and for teams who come in to help. Suffice to say these rooms are state-of-theart—we can offer big city surgery in here,” he said.

It was up to Dr. Guy Fradet, co-chair of the fundraising campaign with Goplen, to explain the piéce de résistance in the IHSC—the hybrid operating room.

“It’s two rooms together,” Fradet said. “It brings the state-of-theart equipment in surgery and the state-of-the-art equipment in imaging together.”

In addition to the booms holding surgical support equipment, the hybrid room will have an imaging machine anchored in the corner, but attached to the operating table.

JEAN RUSSELL/CAPITAL NEWS

Billing it as the most high tech heart surgical facility in B.C. and rivaling anything else in Canada, Kelowna General Hospital is looking forward to a September 2015 opening for its Interior Heart and Surgical Centre.

The four-storey building dominates the corner of Pandosy Street and Rose Avenue. It’s a hive of activity as construction crews complete their tasks while the hospital community continues its daily routine.

Inside the new building, Doug Rankmore, CEO of the KGH Foundation, looks in some amazement as the complex of 15 operating rooms take on character with massive pieces of machinery starting to populate the spaces.

“This is the raceway around the ORs,” Rankmore said, looking either way along a wide corridor—one side of four that surround the rooms where the business of surgery will soon be performed, deep steel sinks fitted outside each doorway.

“All the ORs are accessed from the outside in, and the inside is a sterile core.”

Having watched the process from planning to construction, Rankmore was excited to now see the rooms be outfitted with surgical equipment.

“It’s becoming very real. The last time we were in the building there wasn’t even paint on the walls, certainly none of the booms were in,” he said.

Throughout these ORs the booms, each costing up to $450,000 before they are outfitted with surgical equipment, are suspended from the ceiling—for good reason, Rankmore explained.

Booms in every operating room in Kelowna General Hospital’s heart and surgical facility, will hold any array of surgical equipment for operating teams. The booms are anchored to the framework of the building above the ceiling of each OR, keeping the floor clear of clutter. needs a fresh view, a ‘C’ arm comes out and rotates around the patient taking 3D images, which are broadcast on a big HD screen. What was a separate function done pre-op in another part of the hospital, will be done in a matter of seconds while the operation proceeds.

Fradet used the example of blending a CAT scan and echo imaging into one visual.

“We can program the machine and in about eight seconds we can have a 3D image of the heart,” he said.

Inserting a heart valve, for instance, the machine shows the heart and gives real-time landmarks for the surgeon to follow.

“It isn’t just the rooms,” Goplen said, acknowledging the powers that let it all come about—government funding and private donation.

“We have been so fortunate that the government has given us the opportunity to have

these buildings to drive the services, but also the very generous donors have helped us to equip these rooms.

“These large, modern rooms wouldn’t be anything without the tools that the KGH Foundation (fundraising campaign) has provided us with.

“It gives us room for growth,” Goplen said.

Rankmore said the foundation is $2 million short of its $12 million campaign goal for equipping the new facility.

Toronto flight service enhanced

Alistair Waters

awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Air service between Kelowna and Canada’s largest city is getting an upgrade.

Air Canada has announced its rouge airline will start daily nonstop service between Kelowna International Airport and Toronto’s Pearson International starting in June.

Currently, WestJet offers flights between the two cities on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, with Air Canada flying between the two centres Saturdays and Sundays.

According to officials with the Kelowna airport (YLW), the introduction of daily service will increase the capacity on the route by 40 per cent.

“This is exciting news,” said YLW director Sam Samaddar. “Air Canada first began seasonal nonstop service to Toronto in 2002 at YLW. We are pleased to be one of the first new domestic routes

for the Air Canada rouge service.”

He said Air Canada rouge provides more capacity, therefore more people traveling to the Okanagan, and more convenience for customers in the Okanagan with just one stop to virtually anywhere in Air Canada’s world through its global Toronto hub.

The news was welcomed by Tourism Kelowna.

“Timing is perfect!” said CEO Nancy Cameron of the planned launch in June.

“We have been advertising in the Greater Toronto Area for several years now in order to entice Ontarians to Kelowna and the Okanagan.

“Having Air Canada rouge provide this new daily service dramatically improves our accessibility to this important market just in time for our peak season.”

“We look forward to welcoming more customers on board, both local residents traveling to Toronto and connecting to virtually anywhere in the world, or bringing more worldwide customers to B.C.’s Okanagan Valley,” said

Howlett.

Air Canada rouge plans to use 136-seat Airbus A319 aircraft on the route.

While Pearson is Canada’s busiest airport, YLW is the 10th busiest in the country.

This year, YLW is expected to surpass 1.6 million passengers for the first time, a target that wasn’t expected to be met until 2016. @KelownaCapNews

Telling your story most accurately —the Capital News

Kelowna Flightcraft Ltd. has been awarded a contract to upgrade the interior of the entire WestJet fleet of B737-600/700/800 aircraft.

The program, which will require the company to bolster its payroll to make way for dozens of new employees, will include the removal of existing seatback monitors, installation of a state-of-the-art wireless entertainment system, which will also provide Internet connectivity, and new comfortable slim line seats with in-seat power.

Kelowna Flightcraft currently provides WestJet with Structure Maintenance Visit services and Scimitar Winglet installation for their B737 fleet.

The prototype IFE, Seat and Power Aircraft has been completed. Full production and implementation of the program will commence in January 2015, and run continuously until the completion of over 100 aircraft modifications.

As a result of this additional work, KF will be providing a minimum three lines of nose-to-tail service capabilities for WestJet. It’s good news for the company, which this year suffered a blow. A long-held Canada Post contract was awarded to Mississauga Ontario-based competitor Cargojet. That contract will shift over to the Ontario based company in March of 2015.

In a press release, Cargojet pegged contract revenues at approximately $1 billion during the initial seven-year agreement, based on projected volumes. Their stock values rose 22 per cent as news of the contract was released.

A Kelowna-based Hells Angel and his associate each face up to seven years in prison for driving around with a heavy arsenal of weapons.

Joseph Skreptak and Cory Montemurro were convicted earlier this year on 11 weapons related charges for an incident that happened in November 2010.

At a sentencing hearing that started Monday, Crown counsel Sandra Dworkin told BC Supreme Court Justice Al Betton that the crimes committed require a significant sentence, especially when set against a backdrop of growing gun violence across the province.

“This court knows there have been a number of more public shootings, especially in B.C.,” Dworkin said, noting that the death and serious injury are only “an impulse away” when one chooses to carry a loaded

And judges, she added, have publicly been criticized for taking positions that are too lenient when sentencing those caught illegally possessing loaded firearms.

Dworkin also pointed out that in cases such as Skreptak’s and Montemurro’s, “where there is no legitimate use for the arsenal,” the focus in sentencing should be on denunciation and deterrence. Rehabilitation is secondary.

Skreptek and Montemurro, along with two others who have had charges against them dropped, were driving just outside Salmon Arm on a snowy winter night when a police officer pulled them over.

When the officer made his way to the vehicle, he smelled marijuana.

Dworkin said the officer noted at that time he had pulled the car over in an isolated area, that there were four people in the vehicle, and he was

alone.

With that in mind, he made the decision to walk away from the vehicle, call in another officer and pull the vehicle over again, closer to the city limits of Salmon Arm. When they pulled over the car a second time, a more thorough search was conducted and police found ample cause to arrest the men in the vehicle.

The first thing they found was a sawed off shot gun in a shopping bag.

Dworkin hauled out that court exhibit at the sentencing hearing. The bag, she explained, was not used to carry the gun around.

There was a hole cut in the bottom, large enough for the gun’s barrel to poke through. Dworkin indicated the bag was merely used to disguise the weapon as it was held.

Dworkin then explained that the night the vehicle was towed to the police detachment to be searched, it offered even more evidence against the Hells Angel and his associate.

There was a cellphone jammer, body armour, walkie talkies, boxer shorts that were ripped in such a way that they could be used as a mask, nine rounds of .38-cal ammunition, knives, bear spray, shotgun shells, a bat and a loaded 9-mm CZ pistol registered to Montemurro.

At the trial, Skreptek was the only witness to speak on behalf of defence. Skreptek testified that he had no idea the weapons were in the car. He claimed he was just looking for some real estate on the latenight tour through the Interior.

The trial judge rejected that story.

Defence lawyers Don Skogstad and Kelly Christiansen have asked Betton to consider lighter sentences.

For Skreptak, Christiansen asked for a sentence of four years.

Skogstad, who noted that there would be an appeal down the road, argued for a three-year term.

Justice Betton has been asked to wait to offer his sentence until January, so the men can have “their last Christmas with their families.”

news _____________________________________________________________________ CN RAIL CORRIDOR

Details emerge on the cost to taxpayers Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

One week after signing a deal to buy the abandoned CN rail corridor between Kelowna and Coldstream in the North Okanagan, details are emerging about how much each of the local government partners will have to pay.

While the negotiated price was $22 million plus a tax receipt for the full value of the land— estimated as high as $50 million—the initial announcement did not break down the costs to Kelowna, Lake Country and the North Okanagan Regional District.

According to Kelowna city officials, the city is estimating its share at $7.6 million, which would be funded from reserves and interim financing with no additional tax increase to residents.

Because the value of the land is more than the monetary consideration, the City of Kelowna will also issue a charitable donation receipt to CN for the difference.

While the original asking price of the corridor was $50 million, the negotiated cost of the corridor is a combination of the $22 million in cash and the “land donation” for which the City of Kelowna will issue CN the charitable donation receipt.

The Regional District of the North Okanagan will fund its estimated share of $1.9 million from its reserves with no increase to taxes there.

The District of Lake Country’s estimated share is $5.1 million.

To minimize the tax impact to its residents, Lake Country will seek

Pay by donation with proceeds to benefit the Westbank and Peachland food banks.

While a number of ownership models were explored the preferred model is for each jurisdiction to own the land that falls within its boundaries. The funding allocation between jurisdictions represents the property value of the lands being acquired by each partner.

The land, which could one day be used as a recreational trail or a self-propelled transportation route, is considered a “once-ina-lifetime” opportunity by the municipalities and regional district.

“With a route that follows portions of the largely undeveloped shorelines along Kalamalka, Wood and Duck lakes, preserving this corridor as a public asset that is also suitable for dedicated multimodal transportation is a priority,” said Gilchrist.

“The land would become accessible and valued as a public asset for the benefit of all our citizens.”

Under the Canadian Transportation Agency discontinuance process, a single entity must put forward an interest in acquisition of the corridor; therefore the

governments on the deal with CN. “The arrangement alleviates the debt load for the District of Lake Country’s residents, protects the opportunity of all the jurisdictions to finalize the deal with CN, and preserves the corridor as a continuous route physically connecting the communities of the Central and North Okanagan with no current tax impact for Kelowna residents.”

In addition to using reserves and borrowing, the local governments also say they are committed to actively pursuing additional funding for the remaining approximately $7.3 million of the agreed purchase amount through alternate sources, including grants and partnerships, before the close of the due diligence period.

The due diligence period following signing of the agreement allows 120 days (end of March) to investigate terms of the agreement, including funding options. With the majority of that time still available, local governments are continuing to work through the details.

approval to borrow up to approximately 50 per cent of that amount.

Given the tight timelines of the 120-day due diligence period, the controversial alternate approval process will be used in Lake Country starting right away. The process puts the onus on opponents to gather the signatures of 10 per cent of the electorate in a 30day time period to force reconsideration of the proposal.

Kelowna says, given the regional benefits of public ownership, it has agreed in a memorandum of understanding with Lake Country, to acquire a 50 per cent interest in the land within the Lake Country boundaries on a temporary basis.

That, it says, will help abate the immediate cost to Lake Country until it can buy back the share from Kelowna.

“Given that we are neighbours with shared borders, this is a mutually beneficial agreement for Kelowna and Lake Country,” said Doug Gilchrist, divisional director of community planning and real estate for the City of Kelowna.

He acted as the lead negotiator for the local

purchase model is to have the City of Kelowna be the sole purchaser with

subsequent purchase and sale agreements to the other jurisdictions.

Opinion OUR view

Missed blessing with downturn in oil prices With the downturn in oil prices about to bring an economic chill to Alberta’s booming economy, we here in the Central Okanagan can expect to take a hit as well.

Whether in tourism visits or real estate investment, what goes on in our prairie province next door, good or bad, has a bearing here. City hall officials have been saying as much for years.

To think we might again experience the economic fallout that hit our region in 2010 is prematurely hitting the panic button, but if the decline continues downward as we head into 2015, we now know what that can mean.

The theory of Kelowna’s local economy existing under a protective bubble against negative outside economic forces has long since been shattered.

The gas price reduction is long overdue, as the glut of oil being produced worldwide has not been reflected at the pumps. As the Middle East oil producers keep pumping out crude and the U.S. continues to increase its own oil production to reach a goal of becoming energy selfsufficient, it was only a matter of time until even the stock market speculation on oil prices had to face reality.

Already with the plunge of oil prices, our Canadian dollar has taken a hit, something that Canadian manufacturers won’t necessarily complain about. And with a resource based economy, the Loonie’s global currency value is likely to drop further heading into 2015.

Even in the National Hockey League, teams have been told at the league’s management meetings this week to expect the salary cap to decline if our dollar continues to slip, as Canadian teams are an important part of the league’s revenue structure.

So as Kelowna’s city council enters its new four year term with Mayor Colin Basran’s theme being the city is open for opportunities, economic changes and events that transpire far beyond our control will dictate or shape what those opportunities will or won’t be.

SOUND OFF TODAY’S QUESTION:

Do you think we are still paying too much for gas given the recent fall in oil prices?

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Council’s first steps a breeze The new-look Kelowna city City council got down Confidential to work Monday and considering the ALISTAIR number of new faces WATERS and the change at the top, its members made it look pretty easy.

With an agenda for their first regular meeting that was long on items but short on any real substantive issues, the new council members were able to ease into their roles with last term’s rookies now the veterans.

And not only were they done in less than two hours, they all seemed to be singing from the same song sheet.

Every vote taken at Monday’s meeting passed unanimously, something new mayor Colin Basran reminded the audience of following each decision.

The overly agreeable tone of the meeting even wound up on a seasonal note with a visit from Santa Claus.

Ditching his slay for the afternoon, Santa and Mrs. Claus pulled up outside city hall in a specially decorated Kelowna Transit Bus, dubbed the Santa Bus, which has been used to collect donations for the Salvation Army here each Christmas for the last 12 years.

As it usually does, the first stop was city hall, where members of council trotted out to chat with Santa, check out the bus and get their annual group photo taken with the Jolly Old Elf himself.

Needless to say, when it came to political desires, none of the politicians, new or old, had much to ask for

given that voters gave them all early Christmas presents two weeks ago—taxpayer-funded jobs for the next four years.

So, now the fun part is out of the way—if you call running for election fun—the real work is about to start.

First up for council will be the annual city budget. But even there, this group—like all new councils before it— will get a break. The heavy number-crunching has already been done, so when it comes to the 2015 budget, in all practicality, this council will merely rubber stamp it.

It will also have a number of pre-approved key city developments dropped into its laps—projects like the Innovation Centre and the Interior Health building downtown, the expansion of one city parkade and construction of another, expansion of Stuart Park and the deals to acquire the former CN rail corridor and Rutland’s Centennial Park.

Where this council will cut its teeth will be on the development proposals that have yet to be put in front of them for approval. As the local economy recovers and confidence returns to the Kelowna market, development is expected to ramp up and it’s rare any development doesn’t create some level of controversy.

So, welcome to the job folks, and good luck. There will be times during the next four years when you will need it.

As for that unity thing. Well, it isn’t likely to last too long. But that’s a good thing. The city needs dissent and discussion among its political leaders.

The key is to be united after the votes take place.

That’s when leadership really will kicks in.

What will Rail/Trail cost us?

To the editor: Prior to the municipal election I sent (Lake Country mayor) James Baker an email suggesting that he make purchasing the CN Rail line an election issue stating that if elected he would borrow money to contribute to this purchase.

It would have acted similar to a referendum and, had he still been elected, it would have indicated that a majority was at least not opposed to enduring a property tax increase forever to accommodate the purchase. Had he not been elected it would have indicated a majority was opposed to this purchase. I’m guessing out of fear of not being re-elected on this issue he chose to not make it an election issue and continued with the behindthe-scenes negotiating.

Now, less than a month after the municipal election he has stated that Lake Country’s share in this needless purchase—with our municipality carrying a current $11 million debt load—will have to borrow between $4 million and $5 million for its share. This same municipality openly declares that there is no money in the budget to repair and upgrade many miles of roads to meet current safety standards so that its residents can commute in a safer manner each and every day.

James Baker is being led down the garden path by his big brother in Kelowna. The population of Lake Country is 12,000 while Kelowna has a population of 106,710 which is roughly nine times as many residents. As well Kelowna has a far larger industrial and commercial base that they collect taxes from.

In Kelowna some of the rail line goes through industrial land that they can sell off portions to offset their contribution while the same cannot be said for Lake Country.

Even taking the latter out of the equation simple arithmetic would indicate that Kelowna should be paying nine times the amount that Lake Country is expected to contribute so that Kelowna residents carry the same per person burden as those in Lake Country.

The numbers being floated certainly indicate the sting of this purchase will be felt far greater for Lake Country taxpayers as opposed to those in Kelowna.

Wake up James Baker—you’re being had. We are not a big city as is Kelowna and cannot afford the same level of non-essential purchases just as regular people cannot afford the same life style as professional hockey players.

If there is to be any economic benefits due to increased tourism, which I seriously doubt, those tourists would be far more likely to be spending their dollars in Kelowna as they have numerous upscale restaurants, hotels and night life that our sleepy hollow does not.

A simple analogy would be that of a family that is having a hard time meeting their mortgage payments and putting groceries on the table who are considering purchasing a motor home because it’s on sale at a great price. A deal is only a deal if you can afford it even if it’s a so-called once in a life time opportunity.

If we can’t afford to repair our roads how do you make a sensible case to purchase a hiking trail that we have all managed to live without up to now? Simply put, we as a municipality can’t afford this purchase. Let Kelowna purchase and own the whole trail, they are in a far better financial position to do so. We don’t have to keep up with the Jones.

James Baker, I implore you to rethink this, don’t put Lake Country residents into debt for something we do not need while we have needs that we cannot afford. It’s too easy to spend other people’s money and when you sign on that line for a big loan you are

taking on debt for 12,000 people now and for generations to come that have not been consulted on this, can your conscience live with that ?

If you still feel compelled to go ahead, at the very least put this to a referendum and not the less than democratic alternate approval process. As city hall you have the personnel and resources to organize a vote and should not try to ram this purchase through by forcing individuals to bear the cost and energy to put this question to your constituents for you.

If city hall cannot afford the cost of a referendum we most certainly can’t afford the cost of this purchase.

We all know that voter apathy is high, especially at the municipal level but at least a referendum would clearly indicate what the majority of those who care enough about our community to come out and cast a vote is.

Let the majority have a voice, isn’t that what democracy is all about?

If you are concerned that a referendum would vote this purchase down and don’t have one then you are knowingly going ahead with a purchase and passing on debt to constituents that don’t want it—shame on you.

Should the majority be in favour, council should negotiate a more equitable share in this purchase, you don’t have to allow Kelowna to dictate the terms.

Population wise, fair would be Kelowna $16 million, Lake Country $2 million and Vernon/Coldstream $4 million.

Guy Bissonette, Lake Country

Federal accountability To the editor: Local MP Ron Cannan couldn’t have been clearer when he said: “Strengthening accountability and transparency was part of the government’s promise to Canadians when we were first elected in 2006...

We continue to move forward as an open and transparent government.”(Hansard, 5 November 2012) Soon he will have a chance to show how he is putting that sentiment into practice as your representative when he votes on the Transparency Act. This bill was introduced by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau to raise the bar on openness and accountability by making government information open by default.

The Transparency Act would modernize our Access to Information system. It would make all government data public by default and available in modern formats. It would empower an independent office to order that information to be disclosed. It would eliminate extra fees for information requests.

The Act would also make the meetings of the governing board of the House of Commons open by default, allowing Canadians to see how MPs make decisions on their own spending.

These changes would go a long way to addressing criticisms…and ensure that citizens have a real right to know what their government does.

Scott Simms, MP Liberal Party of Canada Democratic Reform Critic

Evidence-free government policies To the editor: I believe there is much money to be made by government and pharmaceutical companies promoting flu vaccines. Dr Tom Jefferson, of the Cochrane Respiratory Infections Group, called Dr. Perry Kendall (chief health officer for B.C.) a tyrant for enforcement of masks. (Vancouver Sun, Nov 2012.)

On average the vaccines prevent the loss of half a working day. Jefferson goes on to say there is no evidence in any literature that the vaccine avoids person-to-person spread as Kendall seems to imply. Another of his statements shows just how ideologicallydriven his policies are. “When asked how many patients die each year because they pick up viruses like the flu, Kendall said he didn’t know because the information is not routinely collected.”

If he does not know how many people die because of influenza, how does he know it’s a problem of such proportion to justify coercive policies? Is Canadian cash being well spent?

Jefferson goes on to say: “The inactivated vaccines should work in theory, just like many things work in theory, but real evidence suggests they (vaccines) are not having the desired effect.” So far we have distortion of research findings, evidence-free statements and evidence-free policies supporting coercion of human beings. He asks what next?

This is frightening, thanks to Christy Clark and her minister Dr. Perry Kendall.

The pharmaceutical companies are making billions of dollars and everyone who gets a flu shot contributes. Oh, and by the way, Dr. Danuta Skowronski, flu expert at BC Centres for Disease Control in Vancouver stated (Zoomer magazine January 2014) that for reasons not entirely clear, the flu shot appears to be especially poor at protecting seniors.

She says, the flu virus is constantly changing, its evolution at warp speed. As long as that’s the case, we will always be playing a losing game trying to guess which strain will take over in the following season.

Someone is lying to us. By telling lies over and over, people come to believe them.

Repetition is a persuader—repetition creates the illusion of authority and truth. Truth itself does not persuade as often as repetition does.

Flu vaccine advertising is everywhere, over and over till many believe they will die without the shot.

D. Janes, Kelowna

Feds finally supporting mussel control Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Better late than never.

That was how the chairman of the Okanagan Basin Water Board summed up the local announcement Friday that the federal government was finally proposing new regulations to help fight off a possible invasion of zebra and quagga mussels into local lakes and waterways.

The water board has had a campaign calling

for better monitoring for the invasive mussel species on boats entering B.C. for the last 2 1/2 years. The campaign is dubbed Don’t Move A Mussel.

While the mussels have not been found in any lake in B.C. there have been some close calls, the most recent earlier this year when an alert border guard at Osoyoos spotted a boat on a trailer entering from Washington and discovered it had some of the mussels attached to it.

The It’s better late be acting. better mussels are in than never. But late“It’s than several lakes south of the we have our fingers never,” crossed they will said West border and Kelowna are feared by be in place for next Mayor Doug many here year’s boating seaFindlater, because they who heads clog up pipes, son.” destroy other Doug Findlater, water- the OBWB water-borne board chairman board. “But we have wildlife and our fingers cost millions crossed they will be in to try and get rid of once place for next year’s they have arrived. boating season.”

So, after years of Findlater said as it calling on the federal now stands, rules in U.S. government for help, states such as California, Ottawa appears to finally Oregon and Washington are currently B.C.’s line of defense against the mussels entering the province. Those states, where the mussels have been found, have strict rules about cleaning boats inside and outside, after being used in a lake known to have the mussels present.

The new Canadian regulations will allow all provinces and territories to compel boat owners who are suspected of either intentionally or unintentionally transporting invasive species such as zebra of quagga mussels into Canada to cooperate with authorities in ridding them from their boats before launching the vessels in local waters.

Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas said Friday the regulations are currently being put out for public comment and will be subject to

comment for the next 30 days. Federal Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea will review the comments before moving the regulations closer to being enacted into law.

When asked why it has taken the federal government so long to act, Albas said it was because they had to apply to all provinces and the current rules about invasive species are not the same across Canada.

While the regulations are only expected to affect a small number of boaters, the Invasive Species Council of B.C. is encouraging all boaters to adopt its “Clean, Drain and Dry” program to prevent transporting any unwanted material into B.C. waterbodies.

The new federal regulations will give Canadian Border Services Agency officers the ability to enforce prohibitions against the importation of invasive species at the border. The rules are currently only voluntary and while most travellers with boats are willing to co-operate with border guards, there is nothing to compel them to do so now.

Albas, and his local colleague, Ron Cannan, MP for Kelowna-Lake Country, said the new regulation will help protect waterways across Canada. @kelownacapnews

Donation to help ENT surgeries

A generous donation of $45,000 from the Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Woodward’s Foundation will allow Kelowna General Hospital

to purchase an urgently needed image-guided Fusion ENT Navigation System for ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery.

Similar to a GPS you would use in your car, this state-of-the-art medical device precisely guides surgeons during delicate

procedures, allowing them to remove diseased tissue while avoiding critical areas. Surgeons will be able to make more informed decisions in the operating room since the image-guided device provides the maximum amount of information about a patient’s unique anatomy, thereby enabling safer, more thorough procedures.

Thanks to the Woodward’s Foundation donation, KGH now has the ability to provide a significantly higher level of medical care and comfort for ENT patients which reduces the need for travel to distant centres for this type of procedure.

According to Dr. Bruce

Povah, division head for ENT surgery at KGH: “The Fusion ENT Navigation System is essential and directly impacts the quality of care we provide to patients.”

The ENT navigation system will be located in the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre (IHSC) currently being built on the campus of Kelowna General Hospital.

KGH Foundation is extremely grateful to the Woodward’s Foundation for their generosity and commitment to helping improve the quality of healthcare in Kelowna and the Central Okanagan.

For more on the IHSC see story page A3.

Flu vaccine and public clinic update An additional 10,000 doses of influenza vaccine are scheduled to arrive at Interior Health next week. As a result, there may be some changes to upcoming public flu clinics in order to provide multiple options for the public to get a flu shot in a timely manner.

The Dec. 15 public drop-in clinic in Kelowna has been rescheduled as a series of by-appointment clinics at all three health centres in the Central Okanagan—West Kelowna, Kelowna and Rutland on the following dates: Dec. 22, 23, 29, and 30.

The public is advised to

call the West Kelowna, Kelowna or Rutland health centres to book an appointment.

All remaining vaccine will be distributed among community vaccine providers such as pharmacists and physicians.

The public is advised to call ahead to community vaccine providers to ensure vaccine is available.

A two-month long consultation process involving public outreach, coffee house discussions and an online survey, will gauge community sentiment on whether carriage houses should be permitted in West Kelowna.

Also referred to as a granny suite, garden flat, laneway house or coach house, a carriage house is a smaller, second home on a property where a residence already exists.

The mayor and West Kelowna district council are very interested in finding out whether residents like the idea of carriage houses appearing in neighbourhoods and, if so, with what restrictions.

The easiest way to provide input is online at www. districtofwestkelowna. ca using the Carriage

House Survey link on the homepage. The online survey will be open until Feb. 15.

Planning staff will also receive community feedback at public outreach events and coffee house discussions scheduled for: • Save On Foods, Dec. 14 and Jan. 18, 1 to 3 p.m.

• Kelowna Warriors games at Royal LePage Place, Dec. 16 and Jan. 20, 6:45 to 8 p.m.

Smith swims PB for 4th at worlds

WHL ROCKETS

It wasn’t quite enough for a medal, but Kelowna swimmer Kierra Smith still had reason to celebrate her accomplishments at the FINA World Championships this week in Doha, Qatar.

The 20-year-old Smith finished in fourth place in the women’s 200 metre breaststroke, while establishing a new personal best.

Smith finished behind Japan’s Kanako Watanabe, Rie Kanetou and Denmark’s Rikke Moeller Pedersen, who took bronze.

The final was Smith’s second personal best effort of the day, as she dropped more than three seconds off her previous PB in the morning heats.

“It’s good, it will keep me hungry,” said Smith, a member of the University of Minnesota Gophers.

“It’s frustrating to come fourth but I surprised myself coming in here and making a final. I did everything I could but I choked on water on the third to last turn and I am sure that slowed me down. I can work on it and learn from it.”

Kelowna’s Kierra Smith finished fourth in the 200 breaststroke at the world championships in Qatar.

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

The Kelowna Rockets’ bus headed to Alberta this week without two of its top players on board.

Captain Madison Bowey and Rourke Chartier were going much further east—Toronto to be exact—for Hockey Canada’s national junior team selection camp which begins Thursday.

The two Rockets teammates are among 29 players vying for 22 spots on the Canadian squad for the IIHF World Junior Championship beginning on Boxing Day in Toronto and Montreal.

Bowey, who went to last year’s camp but didn’t make the grade, is excited to be getting a another chance to represent his country.

“It’s every kid’s goal, I think, growing up,” said Bowey, who played previously for Canada at the U18 worlds.

“Since I was probably four, watching worlds juniors at Christmas, it’s something I wanted. To achieve that would be huge for me and family, to get an opportunity to play on that team. I’ll just go play my game hopefully it will work out.”

Unlike Bowey, Chartier, 18, wasn’t on Hockey Canada’s radar when the season began. But the Saskatoon native’s emergence as one of the CHL’s top offensive players made the national program stand up and take notice. Chartier leads the WHL with 32 goals in 30 games.

“I’m going to go there, work as hard as I can and accept whatever role the coaches ask of me,” said Chartier. “It’s a

MARISSA BAECKER/SHOOTTHEBREEZE

The Liquid Lightning swim club member also finished 11th at the worlds in the 100m breaststroke.

Emil Dimitrov, Kierra’s coach in Kelowna, believes medals at the international level are attainable for Smith.

“She needs to know in her own mind that she’s able to win at any given level before she can step on a podium,” Dimitrov said. “She’s physically able to compete at worlds but she just needs to be convinced of it herself.“ It was the second fourth-place effort this season for Smith at a major international event.

She placed just off the podium this summer at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

Her best time at that event was 2:25.19.

Smith is back at the University of Minnesota for a week of exams before returning to Kelowna for Christmas break. Her next Canadian competition will be Pan Am Games Trials in Toronto in April 2015.

Road trip without Bowey, Chartier

Whoever makes Canada’s final roster won’t be back with the Rockets until the first week of January.

And while Bowey and Chartier chase a dream, their WHL teammates will embark on a challenging five-game tour of Alberta, beginning Wednesday

night in Lethbridge.

Head coach Dan Lambert said the Rockets are proceeding with the plan that neither player will be available until the new year.

“I want both of those guys to make the team and we’re planning accordingly,” said Lambert. “We’re going to need guys to step up while they’re away, it’s that simple. It’s an

opportunity for a lot of our other guys to take on leadership roles.”

All told, the Rockets (24-4-3-0) will play five games in eight days on their Alberta tour.

Lambert doesn’t expect the Rockets to have any easy nights on their last road trip before the Christmas break.

Strong field for 36th annual midget tourney Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Each year, Tony Ryder strives to put together the strongest roster of teams possible at the Kelowna International Elite Midget Tournament.

And pretty much everyone agrees, the 2015 version of the 12team tourney is the most formidable group of hockey clubs to make their way to Kelowna in a very long time.

“This one of the strongest lineups this tournament has ever

had,” said KIMMT tournament chairman Greg Stark.

“We have more upperend teams, we have academy teams that are all competitive…these are the future stars of the game.”

Compiled largely by Ryder—tournament director and team coordinator—the field includes the Saskatoon Contacts, perennial contenders at the national midget level who are making their first appearance in Kelowna in 17 years.

news _____________________________________________________________________ BLOOD DONOR CAMPAIGN

The gift of life inspires added meaning at Christmas kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

With the Christmas season in full swing and people thinking of giving to others, Canadian Blood Services is hoping that generosity includes giving blood at a time that is traditionally the hardest time of the year to find blood donors.

Canadian Blood Services kicked off its Christmas campaign, called Wrap It Up Red, this week in Kelowna, asking people to take an hour out of their day to give blood.

“We’re encouraging people to give blood over the holidays,” said Gayle Voyer, territory manager for Canadian Blood Services in Kelowna.

“I know it’s a busy time for everyone but it also means it’s a bit more of a challenging time for us getting people into the clinic.”

Canadian Blood Services is open every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday as well as every second Saturday. There are 64 appointments available each day and Voyer says it’s not always easy to fill every slot, especially during the holidays.

“Sixty-four appointments a day doesn’t seem like a big number but we really do struggle sometimes with filling those appointments,” she said.

“It’s really important that we try to fill them. Every one of those appointments translates into saving up to three lives.”

One of those lives that has been saved by blood donations is that of three-yearold Lynnea Holstrom who, a year ago,

was diagnosed with leukemia and has undergone several blood transfusions during her treatment.

Lynnea and her mother Alanea were on hand as Canadian Blood Services began its holiday campaign.

“When my daughter was diagnosed she needed several blood transfusions,” said Alanea.

“When I saw how much she perked up and how much life these transfusions breathed into her…she completely transformed. It was a life saving thing that happened.

“I always wanted to donate blood but I never made it a priority until I saw what it did to my daughter. I donate blood on a regular basis now and so does my husband.”

Canadian Blood Services’ Wrap It Up Red campaign has several ways Canadians can help this Christmas: 1. Make an appointment to donate blood 2. Make a donation to its Campaign for Canadians to build a national public cord blood bank 3. Register for OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network 4. Register with your provincial authority to be an organ and tissue donor 5. Consider donating cord blood to the national public cord blood bank.

To make an appointment call 1-888236-6283. For more information check out blood.ca. @KP_media1

Open house for Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr, the federal Liberal Party candidate for KelownaLake Country, will host a Christmas meet-andgreet at Bo.ttega Farm on Saturday, Dec. 13.

The informal gathering is a chance to meet Fuhr and his campaign team.

It’s also a fundraiser for the Kelowna Community Food Bank, as donations will be gratefully accepted from 2 to 4 p.m.

“This is a great chance to spend some time just before the holidays talking about issues that are important to voters in the riding,” Fuhr said.

He is a former Canadian Air Force jet pilot who subsequently moved into the private sector to head up his own aviation company.

Bo.ttega Farm is at 4485 Sallows Rd. in southeast Kelowna.

Economy BUSINESS ROUNDUP

This is not your typical Tim Horton’s. Owned and operated by Kevin and Barb Becker and managed by their daughter Jayla Becker, the Tim Horton’s at the corner of Highway 97 and Cooper Road has recently been expanded, renovated and relocated next to their existing Tim Horton’s.

The new Tim’s now has 3,400 square feet of modern atmosphere, 75 seats, three tills, (normally two), two TVs, a fireplace in the lobby, is computer friendly with free Wi-Fi and has a huge community table for friends and others to gather. There is loads of parking and they are open 24/7. I tried the coffee cake, pumpkin and red velvet muffins (not all by myself) and they were delicious. Kevin and Barb have been Tim Horton owners for the past 16 years and are also the owner/operators of the Sexsmith Road location.

Congratulations to the new 2015 board of directors for Tourism Kelowna: Stan Martindale, chair (Ramada Hotel & Conference Centre); Daniel Bibby, vice-chair (Kelowna Hotel Motel Association/Delta Grand); David McFadden, secretary (Okanagan Lavender & Herb Farm);

Crowe MacKay LLP, Chartered Accountants (CPA) have received an award from The Rotary Club of Kelowna, recognizing the leadership and commitment of the company towards community service. A long standing business philosophy of Crowe MacKay has been to have

its employees engaged in worthy endeavors to enhance the community’s standard of living and provide support to those in need. The Rotary Club of Kelowna wanted to show their appreciation for all they have done over the years.

We know a lot more people these days but we know a lot less about them. A new Okanaganmade app plans to fight this “social obliviosity” with engaging game play. The free PopSavvy game was released this

week on the App Store.

The trivia game develops social awareness by asking players to predict how people will answer interesting questions.

The answers come from “The Crowd” a living data base of continuously surveyed people. Headto-head games are won by those players who are more socially savvy. The game features hundreds of thought provoking questions, each with revealing sets of results.

Those results are broken down to show the votes

of men and women, differing age levels and differing regions. New questions are added to the game every day.

“PopSavvy was invented by our family while sitting around a campfire,” said Doug Manning, PopSavvy’s lead designer.

Doug is a former teacher, counselor, entrepreneur and co-founder, president and CEO of Bridges Transitions, a well-known company from the early days of the local tech community.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

2014 was a rebound year for regional housing market The year-end of the Okanagan Shuswap real estate market will send realtors into 2015 with a positive outlook.

The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB) reported November sales activity of all MLS property types rose by four per xent over last year and improved by 24 per cent year-to-date compared to 2013.

“While an early cold snap dampened sales activity last month and demand edged back after accelerating for most of the year, Okanagan-Shuswap home sales have already outperformed 2013 and we will finish the year off on a positive note,” said Darcy Griffiths, OMREB president and a North Okanagan realtor.

“We experienced an extraordinarily busy summer and fast paced fall, and are now moving into the holiday season when activity typically slows down as winter sets in.”

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 North Okanagan leads the way in sales this month with a 10 per cent improvement over November 2013, compared to three per cent in the Central Okanagan and one per cent in the Shuswap. The North Zone also saw a 27 per cent rise in single family residential sales compared to last year, while levels remained the same in the Shuswap (no change from 2013), and the Central Okanagan experienced an eight per cent decline in this segment.”

‘‘

We experienced an extraordinarily busy summer and fast paced fall…

’’

Darcy Griffiths

Active listings have been on the decline for the past eight months, currently sitting 13 per cent lower than in November 2013.

Overall, new listings (up less than three per cent in November) have not been fast enough to keep up with the demand and declining inventory in some categories, significantly reducing the selection of entry level homes, particularly in the Central Zone where new listings for the month are slow (up three per cent) and inventory is low (down 15 per cent).

“We are seeing more balance in our board area but conditions in the Central Okanagan are still somewhat split between balanced and sellers’ markets with more demand than supply for homes priced below the $500,000 mark due to declining inventory,” Griffiths reported.

“The North Okanagan market remains stable for both buyers and sellers, while the best value for buyers is in the Shuswap.”

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

Average prices have been pushed up with a shortage of lower priced entry level homes in some areas and buyers making purchases in the next level up.

“Being realistic about the market value of your home and willing to negotiate for the best offer is the key to a successful sale,” Griffiths noted.

“The competition for buyers can still be a challenge for sellers if properties are not priced attractively from the start.”

For OMREB’s Central Zone (Peachland to Lake Country), for November overall sales were up 3.1 per cent, to 331 units from 321 in 2013.

Total residential sales for the month declined 4.9 per dent, to 290 units compared to 305 last year at this time.

The sale of 146 single-family homes was down 8.2 per cent over the 159 in November 2013. However, apartment sales improved by 18.2 per cent over last year at this time.

Year-to-date, total unit sales improved by 21.3 per cent over last year (to 5,061 units from 4,174).

Single-family home sales are up 15.3% compared to 2013 (to 2,361 units from 2,047), while the sale of townhouses improved by 30.9 per cent (to 766 from 585) and apartments by 33.6 per cent (to 973 from 728).

The 581 new listings taken in the Central Okanagan during the month saw a 2.7 per cent increase compared to 566 in 2013, and total inventory was reduced by 15.8 per cent to 3,141 units from 3,729 last November.

It pays in heating cost savings to bundle up and seal the air leaks in your home when winter hits.

Cooling off the cost of heating bills this winter It’s that time of year again: your toes are numb, your cheeks are rosy, and it’s time to turn up the thermostat.

Like many Canadians, we in the Okanagan know these signs all too well—Old Man Winter is back in town.

We may be well trained to bundle up before stepping outside, but with frigid overnight temperatures and rising heating costs, it pays to bundle up and seal your home before the deep freeze hits.

Follow these simple tips to keep your home toasty warm and your heating bills low.

Tip 1: Change furnace filters It won’t work like a dream if it’s not

clean. Be sure to replace or clean furnace filters once a month during the peak heating season.

Tip 2: Find the leaks and fill ‘em up Since windows and doors are the main culprits for letting hot air escape, an effective way to help minimize these leaks is by applying an insulating film to windows, doors and rooms that get little use.

Another option is weather stripping doors and windows. It does come with a little labour, but Cottage Life personality Colin Hunter offers some do-it-yourself tips to help minimize the impact and strain on your body.

“If you begin feeling aches and pains

when working around the house, make sure you change your work environment before it intensifies or potentially causes more serious damage,” says Hunter. “Taking a moment to stretch is helpful, as well as investing in a proven anti-fatigue mat that relieves stress on the knees and back…It can do wonders for preventing pain.”

Tip 3: Run fans in reverse By switching the ceiling fan’s rotation from counter-clockwise to clockwise you can circulate warm, rather than cold, air. When hot air pools near the ceiling, the clockwise rotation brings it back into the living space.

Housing starts trending up Housing starts in the Kelowna Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 1,411 units in November compared to 1,214 units in October, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of

housing starts.

“Housing starts trended upwards across all segments of Kelowna’s housing market in November with growth concentrated around townhouse and apartment units,” said Sarena Teakles, CMHC senior market analyst.

CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement

to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market.

In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as the stats are largely driven by the multiples

segment of the markets which can vary widely from month to month.

The stand-alone monthly SAAR was 2,412 units in November, compared to 1,048 units in October.

Similar trends for new housing starts were also registered in Kamloops, Vernon and Prince George.

Christmas gift ideas for the avid gardener Not a lot of gardening being done right now, however, you better believe all your gardening friends are pining for spring when they can get out in the yard.

Meanwhile, there is a little event called Christmas and what better way to please a gardener than to get him or her something relating to this great pastime.

In order to avoid duplicating something the gardener may already possess it may

from the ground up Don Burnett

be prudent to have a casual conversation and pose questions such as: “So,

what are your favourite pruning shears?”

Then find out if they actually have a pair in good working order.

As it can be difficult to determine exactly what your friend is lacking in gardening equipment, maybe consider something that is consumable such as potting soil or fertilizer.

I called around to some of the garden centres to get some of their ideas and

One of the things all gardeners would love is a Byland’s Club Card which keeps on giving all year long with discounts and special buys.

If you still can’t decide what to give, then a gift certificate from one of these great stores is totally appropriate.

Something a gardener can always use are sharp tools and the best place in

Of Prime Interest: Options for mortgage financing Buying a new or existing home offer two very different paths to consider when dealing with mortgage financing.

Mortgage financing for the purchase of an existing property is typically less complicated.

You will be required to provide a copy of the offer to purchase agreement and the MLS listing. The purchase price and possession date will be negotiated and reflected in the purchase agreement.

You will proceed with your financing request and meet the lenders conditions prior to your condition removal date which is usually seven to 10 days from the date you write the offer.

During this time, you will arrange for a home inspection and inquire about home insurance to confirm all is satisfactory for you to proceed.

It also allows sufficient time for the lender to unconditionally approve your financing request and provide you with the documentation that will enable you to remove the financing condition.

You will have a clear knowledge as to the condition of the home, what your mortgage rate and payment will be.

The situation with a new build is more complicated.

There are two different mortgage options available for financing your new

home.

The first is called a completion mortgage, which is somewhat similar to the financing for an existing property.

It differs in that there will most likely be a longer rate hold required (the length of time it takes to build the home) and the rate could be higher than the rate you are able to get if you were closing within the usual 90 to 120 days.

That is due to the fact that the mortgage is not advanced until the property is 100 per cent complete.

Typically, the builder requires an initial deposit at the time you sign the purchase agreement and the balance is not required until

home Each year thousands of children wake up Christmas morning & don’t have a gift waiting for them under the tree. Customers are encouraged to help a less fortunate child by picking a snowflake & purchasing the child’s “wish gift” & attaching it to the “Tree of Wishes”, which is then wrapped & given to the child.

the property is complete.

The second option is called a draw mortgage, where your builder will require multiple advances of the mortgage funds at specific stages of construction.

You will go through the same process as above for approval for financing with a few variations. The property will be appraised based on the lot and the plans/ specs and you will provide your down payment after your mortgage is approved and the construction of your new home begins.

The draw schedule required by your builder is detailed in the purchase agreement you initially signed with the builder and the mortgage rate you secure could be set at the time of the first draw depending on the lender. In some cases the mortgage rate is not set until the home is completed and you pay interest only during the construction phase. Your builder will request three to four mortgage draws throughout the construction process.

At the time of request for the draw the lender will require the original appraiser to inspect the property to confirm the work is complete and estimate what is left to complete. The draws are based on cost to complete basis a complicated calculation that allows for the lender to closely monitor the build and always allows that the lender has held back enough funds for completion based on what is complete at each draw.

What do snowshoeing, cooking classes and tickets to the theatre all have in common? They’re all great gift ideas that make memories, not garbage.

Every January, our recycling and garbage carts are filled to the brim with waste packaging and wrapping paper from the holiday season.

This year, the Regional District Waste Reduction Office is encouraging residents to reduce waste while celebrating the festive season.

“The best way to reduce garbage this holiday season is to not create it in the first place,” said Cynthia Coates regional waste reduction facilitator. “ So this year, think about buying higher quality, more durable gifts that last. Or, give experiences as gifts instead. Often when we think back to our favourite Christmases, our fondest memories are of time spent doing something and sharing with family and friends.

“Why not give ‘gifts’ that create long-term memories for those we love.”

Here are some memory-making ideas to get you started • Choose classic toys that are made locally and can be passed on.

• Board games last and bring family and friends together for a night of fun and laughter.

• Organize a family skate.

• Host an amazing dinner for all your friends using locally grown food.

• Treat someone to a live performance.

• Sign someone up for a cooking or art class. Join them for a fun night out together.

• Tickets to a local sporting event.

• Support local businesses by purchasing locally made items.

• Treat someone to the spa or passes to fitness classes.

• Purchase gifts that are durable and will last.

Coates says there are also great ways to wrap your gifts to reduce or even eliminate all that wrapping paper.

“It’s a great time to get creative with your wrapping.

You could even make the wrapping part of the gift, like a tea towel, piece of fabric or shirt. Maps, i comics, magazines, brown bags, can all be reused into wrapping paper. The options are endless,” Coates said. a Make Memories, Not Garbage is the Regional Waste Reduction Office’s seasonal campaign to reduce the volume of waste coming into and leaving our homes.

Savour the special moments in your journey of life

There have been volumes of books written on this matter of life.

Each one has a entirely different perspective and take on how we should observe this journey of ours.

I cannot discount the value of any of these books or opinions as they all are true. One common denominator in all of these opinions is this: We are born, we live, and we die.

Life is what happens in between. It is the in between part that seems to fascinate us.

One of the more intriguing things about our lives is this matter of “firsts and lasts.”

Some of these we are aware of and some we are not. For example, a wonderful first is, say, the first time you hold your new born child.

Ask Dr. Thiel MARKUS THIEL Some we are not aware of. For example, the last time we see a loved one.

Sometimes, with our busy day to day activities, one day seems to gray into the next, seemingly uneventful and ordinary.

My intention here is to challenge that belief.

I believe there are no ordinary or run of the mill moments in our life.

I think we should always be looking for the “firsts and lasts” in our day to day life.

I feel this gives great significance to the bits and pieces we are made of.

I had a first today. My

beautiful nine year old daughter, Brooke, let go of my hand today as we approached the schoolyard and walked ahead of me, leaving me behind because she was embarrassed that her friends saw her holding her father’s hand.

It was no ordinary moment, but it was the first. From hero to zero, just like that.

I remember with great clarity, the first time I met my wife. I remember the first time I walked into my new practice and I remember the last time I saw my mother alive.

I remember the moment that I entertained the thought of cycling Southeast Asia for two years.

I remember the first patient I ever treated. I

remember the first time I ever met my best friend.

What I’m trying to say is that moments that seem ordinary often, are not. Maybe we can look at things a little bit differently knowing this.

Maybe tomorrow, when you wake, you may see the magnitude of everything we do and give a certain gravity to our meaning of the day.

I feel that if we were to understand that there’s nothing ordinary or average about our day and its activities, then we may be more aware of these firsts and lasts as they present, because they only happen once.

We may spend a lifetime reflecting upon them.

Take a moment and think of some of your firsts and lasts, you will see and appreciate that

From the cast of The Nutcracker, to be presented by the Canadian School of Ballet, the nutcracker is Cameron Fraser-Monroe (right), Droselmeier is professional dancer/instructor Chris Larsen (left) and the role of Clara is played by Claire Fleming.

New look to 25th anniversary production of The Nutcracker There is no better-loved holiday classical ballet than the perennial favourite, The Nutcracker.

The Canadian School of Ballet has brought this Christmas tradition to Kelowna for many years.

But in this the 25th season of this production, the ballent company has added some new elements, such as new staging by Regeanna Stubel and Carley Bailey.

In the early years, The Nutcracker was performed to the live accompaniment of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra.

Carole Ruth, a former OSO member, who played first violin in those early days, recalls the percussionist set up side stage with a television monitor to see the conductor because there wasn’t room in the orchestra pit.

Since it was founded 11 seasons ago, professional dancers of Ballet Kelowna have been featured artists.

Simone Orlando took over the role of artistic director and CEO of Ballet Kelowna on Sept. 1.

The Nutcracker is the first full performance of the company’s 12th season and Orlando will also add her own choreography style to this year’s version.

“I see this community and this company as a great place to focus on promoting and fostering Canadian talent; not only dance artists but dance creators as well,” said Orlando.

“It’s my goal to have Ballet Kelowna be recognized both nationally and internationally as a thriving, innovative

company.”

The role of Clara is traditionally played by an advanced student and this year that ballerina will be Claire Fleming.

Fleming has attended summer sessions at The National Ballet of Canada and competed a number of times at the BC Festival of Performing Arts and was a ballet finalist in 2014.

This year the company is breaking with tradition with the role of The Nutcracker performed by a professional from Ballet Kelowna. Cameron FraserMonroe, who trains in Vernon, joins the performance in this role and also as the Russian soloist.

He has competed at the BC Festival of Performing Arts (in stage and modern dancer) representing the Kelowna Kiwanis Festival as the delegate the past two years and attended the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Summer Professional Division last year.

Fraser-Munroe has entertained Vernon audiences as Aladdin in Cirque Theatre Company’s Aladdin’s Lamp last year and as Charlie in their performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2010.

Both Fleming and Fraser-Munroe have been invited to the RWB Summer Professional Division in 2015.

Orlando has cast the other major roles like the Rat King, Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier with Ballet Kelowna professionals.

Performance times are Dec. 12, 7:30 p.m.; Dec. 13, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; and Dec. 14, 2 p.m., at Kelowna Community Theatre.

CONCERT Christmas Bells & Whistles Sunday, Dec. 14 2 p.m.

First United Church 721 Bernard Ave. Kelowna In the harried and hurried days leading up to Christmas, there are many opportunities for local residents to enjoy the music of the season.

One such event is “Christmas Bells & Whistles,” now in its seventh year.

The Alleluia Ringers handbell choir and the Merrie Pipers will perform and the audience will be able to savour traditional hot apple cider and shortbread following the concert.

Admission is by donation at the door (suggested amount $12).

As he has been since the concert’s inception, Ralph Milton, a wellknown United Church speaker and writer, will be the MC. This year’s featured guest artists are vocalist/ pianist Heidi Hewitt, and pianist Graham Vink.

Hewitt is a familiar face for Kelowna audiences, having twice starred in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Kelowna Actors Studio, and The Sound of Music at the Kelowna Community Theater.

Vink holds Bachelors and Masters degrees in piano performance from the Universities of Calgary and Toronto. As well as the choir accompanist at First United, Vink is a busy pianist, accompanist and piano teacher in Kelowna.

The Merrie Pipers recorder orchestra formed in 2001 as a small music

class within Kelowna’s Society for Learning in Retirement. All retirees, the group is active in the community. In 2014, the Merrie Pipers have performed in Peachland and Lake Country, and at the Rotary Centre for the Arts and at Kelowna General Hospital under the direction of Sue MacDonald.

In September, the Alleluia Ringers were featured at a Vancouver Whitecaps soccer game. In response to the team’s call for fanmade recordings of their theme song, “White is the Colour,” the Alleluia Ringers stepped up with what is probably the first ever recording of a soccer anthem on handbells.

The Alleluia Ringers are actively fundraising to attend the 2016 International Handbell Symposium, which will take place in Vancouver, an event which will bring together 1,000 That event will attract about 1,000 handbell musicians from around the world. Nikki Attwell directs the Alleluia Ringers.

RELIGIOUS EPIC

Exodus features the grand scale stamp of director Ridley Scott Making a movie is really hard. Making a religious epic is even harder.

To go one step further, making a religious epic based on a story that was already made into one of the most revered religious epics in movie history, only a director like Ridley Scott would attempt it.

On top of the comparisons to The Ten Commandments starring Charlton Heston, Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings will undergo scrutiny from billions of people who are familiar with the story of Moses from the Bible, the Torah and the Qur’an.

There are few directors with the marquee power that could attempt it.

Steven Spielberg was going to make his own movie based upon The Exodus at one point.

But as the man behind Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise, Black Hawk Down and his own classic religious epic, Gladiator, Scott would be the one to try.

In this retelling of the story of Moses, who rises up against Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses and leads 600,000 slaves on a monumental escape from

RICK DAVIS Egypt, Scott uses stateof-the-art special effects and 3D hoping to give audiences an immersive experience.

He also brought star power with Christian Bale starring as Moses and Joel Edgerton (Zero Dark Thirty) as Ramses as well

as Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Sigourney Weaver, John Turturro and Ben Kingsley.

Exodus: Gods and Kings will likely not become a classic like The Ten Commandments or even his own Gladiator

have become but it may see moderate success.

Earlier this year, director Darren Aranofsky braved the scrutiny and delivered the relatively successful Noah starring Cameron Crowe.

Joe’s entire loving family were with him in the last days and are thankful for all the time that they were able to share with him.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, December 16th at 10:30 am at St. Charles Garnier Parish, 3645 Benvoulin Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to the ALS society. Donations may be made on their website at www.als.ca or at Joe’s memorial service.

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

Gordo is a very big, handsome boy. He is pretty scared right now, and has been an indoor only cat in a quiet household. There is a lot of activity at the shelter, hence the sooner he gets adopted the better.

TOLL FREE ANIMAL CRUELTY HOTLINE 1-855-622-7722

If there is an animal emergency outside of these hours, please contact your local SPCA.

Dogs who are kept outside all the time - no matter what the weather - can suffer physical and psychological harm.

Cula is super cute ( pic doesn’t do her justice. She is a bundle of love and laughter and looking for someone to enjoys the spontanteous life of a youngster in the house.

Stewart is patiently waiting for his forever home. He would make a great pet for a night owl, cause he is very noctural. A little scared at the moment but with lots of socializing he will come around and make the greatest little companion. If you have experience with his breed that would be great, but the staff can always help with a newbie owner.

ROSE

ID#352206

FACTS Cats, when they are suffering from frostbite, will sit hunched up & they won’t lie down. also, when cats are very cold, they can’t eat. What you need to do is slowly warm the cat back up. Wrap it in a blanket or put it on a heating vent. Do not force it to eat or drink anything until it is warmed up, because that can make things much worse.

WINtER CaN KILL YOUR PEts! Being outside can be deadly to your pet this time of year. the Kelowna sPCa cautions pet owners about letting their animals outside unsupervised when the temperature starts dropping.

Even pets who are usually outdoor animals should be brought in when it gets well past the freezing mark.
