IMPACTED BY PRICE OF OIL

Kelowna plant will lose 65 jobs Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A Kelowna-based business has shed 65 manufacturing jobs, as the plunging price of oil made continuing on this side of the border untenable, says a company executive.

Agility Fuel Systems has been a provider of natural gas

fuel systems for heavy duty commercial vehicles, based out of Kelowna since 2001.

“We started with one person, then we grew to 100 employees,” said founder Todd Sloan, who explained that the company was originally called Enviromech Industries, but changed its name after it merged with its competitor, Alabama Fab,

in 2010.

With the layoffs, which were announced at the beginning of October, the number of employees at the local shop will dwindle to 25 over the course of the next six months.

All of the remaining positions will be on the tech side of the company.

The manufacturing arm

will now take place in North Carolina, where the company opened a new $20 million facility trumpeted as ‘world class’ earlier this month.

In addition to lower operating costs—the cost of living and minimum wage is lower in the American state—the move

F Bus drivers to remember killing of local passenger b a Kathy Michaels

kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Bus drivers across the valley will be wearing black ribbons and holding a moment of silence this Friday to commemorate Caesar Rosales, a Kelowna resident who was killed Oct. 30, 2014 while commuting home.

Rosales was a regular transit user, and the random killing has had a lingering effect on the

men and women who often shuttled him around the city, says Scott Lovell, president of local 1722 of the Amalgamated Transit Union.

“We’re not Vancouver, or some big city where this is something you would expect to happen,” said Lovell, who is also a bus driver.

“This is Kelowna. It’s a safe and close-knit community. It changed the foundation for a lot of

us as drivers.”

Area bus drivers, he said, are very community oriented, and consider the men, women and children they drive around their friends and neighbours.

Having such a violent act happen in their midst, he explained, has been a transformative experience, prompting regular conversation about the crime to this day and even

sending some to find new employment opportunities.

“This was a real culture shock, and that’s what is really upsetting our crew,” Lovell said.

“If something as horrific as this can happen, we’re no longer the special community we knew ourselves to be, where everybody knows and takes care of each other. That’s a big shift.”

The man charged with

the 55-year-old’s killing is Tyler Jack Newton.

He was arrested a day after Rosales died from a slash wound to the neck and charged with seconddegree murder.

A preliminary inquiry aimed at convincing a provincial court judge there is sufficient evidence to proceed to trial was held earlier this month, nearly a year to when the crime occurred.

The death of Caesar Rosales on Oct. 30, 2014, occurred while he was riding a bus in Kelowna.

His memory has not been forgotten by local transit drivers. hearing are under a publication ban.

Even though the courts are dealing with the crime, Lovell said that the transit union will be refocusing its efforts on dealing with the trauma of Rosales’s killing after the anniversary has passed. How that will happen remains to be seen.

Last year, as news of Rosales’s killing was spread, Grant Stevens, a coworker of Rosales at Flightcraft, also said his sense of community was rocked by the crime.

In large part, because Rosales was such an unlikely victim.

Rosales went to work at the aerospace company as a business systems analyst just two years ago, by way of Vancouver and, 10 years before that, the Philippines.

“He was an upstanding citizen, in our estimation.

He was a polite, wellspoken, intelligent individual,” said Stevens.

“Interestingly enough, he was quiet and reserved until you got him into something he liked. Then he was passionate.”

Referring to a series of videos that Rosales posted on YouTube where he is seen skydiving, ziplining, bungee jumping and even heading to Vegas adventures, Stevens pointed out that moving to the Okanagan prompted Rosales to live

That included being a conscientious citizen, which is what led him to a the No. 8 bus last year. i “He believed in public a transportation. With the e job and income level he had, he could have had s a vehicle if he wanted to, M but when we interviewed i him in 2012, he said he wanted to know if he’d p be able to use public S transit before he took the t job,” said Stevens. n The commemoration will be held at noon on t Friday. c Last year transit a workers pulled over and had a minute of silence $ as Rosales’s funeral was t held. u This year the moment S of silence will be more muted, and members of w the amalgamated transit o union will take part from m wherever they may find u themselves—the buses, however, will likely still o roll.

Lovell would like to encourage anyone in the community who remembers the incident to take part.

“You know, it’s kind of strange, I have no way to get ahold of his family, to let them know we’re doing this,” said Lovell.

“I’d like to, but I don’t know if this is only for them, or the entire community.” @kelownanewsKAT

Is it worth spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on buildings from the past to fix them up so they can be used in the future?

That’s the question city council is asking itself in light of a presentation made by city staff Monday.

According to staff, several historic buildings owned by the city are in various stages of disrepair and need to be fixed up. They include the former Glen Avenue School downtown, currently used by the Boys and Girl Club, the in-use historic Water Street Fire Hall, the former St. Aidan Church in Rutland, the former Ritz Cafe and nearby Surtees Barn in the Okanagan Mission area and the three buildings clustered together on a site at Dilworth Drive and Leckie Road—the former Grist Mill building, an old dairy shed and the Fleming House.

While the Glen Avenue School and the fire hall are currently in use, and the former St. Aidan’s Church is slated to become a community centre for the Rutland area once it is fixed up, the other buildings need extensive work and are not currently usable.

Coun. Maxine DeHart, said she is concerned about squatters who have erected tents at the site of the Grist Mill, which is one of the city’s oldest buildings. The site is currently fenced off.

City planner Terry Barton told council that, through a possible partnership, the former Ritz Cafe and Surtees Barn could be used for commercial purposes if they are fixed up, as there is a small commercial centre nearby on Lakeshore Road.

“We have had no offers so far, but we would like to investigate (finding) a commercial partner,” Barton told council. He said the buildings could be renovated or adapted for future commercial use.

Meanwhile, the city has already invested about $500,000 to replace windows and fix brickwork at the former Glen Avenue School. That work is now underway and similar work is needed at the Water Street firehall.

Coun. Luke Stack said he did not feel the public wants to see the city spend thousands of dollars on the old buildings then not use them. Instead, he said, if the money is going to be spent, the buildings should be used for either a community or commercial partnership.

He described any more spending as just “step one” in a process to have the buildings used in future.

Ryan Donn says it is the perfect fit for his experience as a musician, performer, organizer and promoter.

Donn, a first-term councillor in Kelowna and a well known Okanagan Valley musician, has been hired by the District of Lake Country as its cultural development coordinator from a long list of qualified applicants for the position.

Donn will be in charge of running the Creekside Theatre in Lake Country, as well as organizing the district’s free open air concert series, public art, and cultural and heritage events.

“The opportunity for growing culture in Lake Country is immense,” said Donn after he was announced as the newest Lake Country staff member. “The District of Lake Country is about to embark on a journey of discovery where the true potential of its cultural capacity will be allowed to flourish if guided properly. I consider it an honour to be a part of this exciting time of transition in such a dynamic community.”

The new position was created with the conclusion of the contract of Creekside manager Horst Jassmann as the district opted to go in a different direction,

adding more duties to the role including running the Lake Country Open Air Performance Society, formerly run by volunteers.

“We received over 75 applications and heard from a number of very qualified individuals,” said Holly Flinkman, Lake Country’s human resources and safety manager. “After viewing some outstanding presentations from the final three short-listed candidates, we came to the conclusion that Ryan Donn was the best fit for the new staff role in Lake Country.”

At Kelowna council on Monday, Donn told the Kelowna Capital News that the job is a perfect fit for him and his experience and added it also addressed a perceived conflict of interest in Kelowna where he was working with Festivals Kelowna.

Donn has now stepped down from Festivals Kelowna and is also stepping back from his duties with the Creative Okanagan Society, an organization he founded to work on the arts in West Kelowna.

As far as being a Kelowna councillor, he said his new position won’t allow him to have as much time to dedicate to council duties, but added he joins the list of councillors who have fulltime jobs.

Kelowna city councillor Ryan Donn has been hired by the District of Lake Country as its new cultural development coordinator.

Donn will start in the position of cultural development coordinator for Lake Country on Nov. 17 and will spend a number of weeks with Jassmann at the Creekside Theatre to enable a smooth transition in the management of the community theatre.

A release from the district says Donn’s experience was too good to pass up.

“Hiring someone with

experience connecting with the creative community is vital,” the release stated. “Ryan has a comprehensive understanding of the logistics and structure required to create successful cultural plans, festival initiatives and community buy-in.

“He has been the creative force behind various cultural initiatives such as Parks Alive!, Pianos in Parks and New York New Years in

Kelowna as well as Music in the Park and a World Music Festival in West Kelowna and founded Creative Okanagan as a non-profit organization.

“Fostering and enhancing the growth of a culturally vibrant and creative municipality is a goal of council as Lake Country becomes increasingly well-known for its desirable lifestyle in the fastest growing municipality in the province.”

Canada Post puts temporary halt on ending home door-to-door delivery Jeff Nagel Contributor

Canada Post is freezing its plan to end door-to-door mail delivery for hundreds of thousands of additional households and switch them to community mailboxes.

The Crown corporation announced Monday it is “temporarily

suspending” the deployment, pending discussions with the incoming Liberal government on how “to determine the best path forward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system.”

The Liberals ran for government on a promise to study and potentially reverse the shift away from home delivery.

Canada Post said 460,000 addresses across the country are in the process of being converted to community mail boxes. Conversions scheduled for November and December of 2016 are on hold.

“Customers impacted by this decision will receive a letter within the next few weeks advising them of the status of their mail delivery service,”

Canada Post said in a news release.

“In neighbourhoods where the 10-month internal and community conversion process is complete, customers will collect mail and parcels at their community mailbox.

“This includes customers set to begin receiving their mail and parcels in their boxes in October. We remain focused on maintaining reliable postal

service to all Canadians without disruption.”

Community mailboxes have been the target of criminals across the Lower Mainland, with residents in many neighbourhoods complaining their mail is vulnerable to theft.

The conversion has also been fought by the union representing postal employees.

L

Clearing vehicles off narrow roads

M

awaters@kelownacapnews.com

You’ve heard of snow days. Well, the City of Kelowna is creating snow routes to deal with excessive amounts of the white stuff when it falls on snow days.

In a bid to clear heavy accumulations of snow in some residential areas of Kelowna during the winter, the city plans to designate areas where residents will have to move their cars off the street to allow snowplows to get through and do their job.

The routes will be in the Wilden, Magic Estates and The Ponds neighbourhoods, as well as on Dilworth Mountain. According to city hall, more routes could be added in the future.

City transportation manager Darryl Astofooroff told council Monday vehicles parked at the side of the road are the biggest impediment to snowplows when it comes to clearing streets of snow.

He said the four routes were chosen because they are in heavily

populated residential areas and have a lot of narrow roads and culde-sacs.

The city says it will inform residents living along snow routes when a heavy snowfall is expected and they will have 24 hours to get their vehicles off the street. Failure to do so will result in a ticket.

The move is just one of a series of new responses to heavy snowfalls Kelowna is making after the twoday, record-breaking fall that hit the city last January.

Astofooroff said other measures include: • Establishing a call centre at the main city fire hall to handle the large volume of calls the city receives when there is a heavy snowfall • Introducing tracking software to identify what area calls are coming from so the city can see where they need to dispatch equipment • Communicating better with the public, using social media as well as news releases and website updates • Reviewing the use and

availability of hired equipment to augment the plows the city already has • Talking to the province about better clearing of snow off Highways 97 and 33.

Astofooroff said in the past, the province’s road maintenance contractor has cleared two lanes of three-lane stretches on the highways into the third lane and then come back, moving the large accumulated mount of snow onto sidewalks.

He said the province has said it will have its contractor make more frequent passes to try and reduce the amount of snow thrown onto sidewalks.

The city also plans to stay in contact with the province throughout the winter to identify problems so they can be addressed immediately.

Council heard loud and clear from the public after the January 2015 storm, as many were unhappy with the speed of the city’s snow road clearing response.

The province has carried through with its promise to limit how much municipal election candidates can spend to get elected.

As the Kelowna Capital News first reported in July, the limit for mayoral spending in a city the size of Kelowna will be less than the current mayor, Colin Basran, spent to win the mayor’s chair in last year’s municipal election.

Last week, Community Minister Peter Fassbender introduced legislation capping both candidate spending and the spending of third-party advertisers in future municipal elections in B.C. Under the new rules, spending would be based on population, with those running for mayor in municipalities with a population of less than 10,000 limited to a flat $10,000 maximum.

Council and school trustee candidates in small communities

would be limited to spending $5,000 each on their campaigns.

In larger centres, the spending for mayoral races would be capped at the following rates: Mayoralty candidates: • First 15,000 population—$1/ person • 15,000 to 150,000 population—$0.55/person • 150,000 to 250,000 population—$0.60/person • More than 250,000—$0.15/ person Councillor candidates: • First 15,000 population—$0.50/ person • 15,000 to 150,000 population—$0.28/person • 150,000 to 250,000 population—$0.30/person • More than 250,000—$0.08/ person According to the Special Committee on Local Elections Expense Limits, which recommended the municipal

spending cap to government, that would mean the following limits locally based on population figures it used at the time: Kelowna mayor: $73,532 councillor: $37,298 West Kelowna mayor $24,734 councillor: $12,456 Lake Country mayor: $13,015 councillor: $6,508 Peachland (with a population under 10,000) mayor: $10,000 councillor: $5,000 In last year’s civic vote, Basran spent $76,193, the most ever spent by a Kelowna municipal candidate.

When he reported his spending, Basran defended it, saying he was proud of the amount of money he raised

and spent, and it showed the level of support he had in the community.

But he added if the new limits will help get quality candidates to run in municipal elections, he would have no problem with them.

Basran’s closest challenger, former mayor Sharon Shepherd, spent a third of what Basran did.

As for the successful councillor candidates from the 2014 Kelowna race, none spent what would be the new maximum.

Coun. Brad Sieben spent the most at $25,327, followed by another newcomer, Tracy Gray, who spent $17,187.

The six other successful candidates all spent less than $8,800 on their campaigns.

When the committee made its recommendations about civic spending limits, it said it did so in order to make running for municipal councils and boards of education more affordable and accessible for those who want to seek public office.

The Liberals campaigned on deficit budgets to increase funding for infrastructure projects right across the country as municipalities grapple with the fact that much of its infrastructure is outdated and in need of upgrades.

In Lake Country, the district is moving forward with its 20year Transportation for Tomorrow Plan, a document that sets the groundwork for what needs to be improved on a year-by-year basis.

However, there is no set funding plan in place for what is an estimated $300-million plan.

At its council meeting on Oct. 20, Lake Country council directed staff to investigate a hybrid tax/ property tax funding program for the plan as opposed to direct property taxes on Lake Country residents and approved a further study on the financial plan

kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Lake Country Mayor James Baker says while he was surprised at the results of the federal election, working with the Liberal MP Stephen Fuhr may be beneficial when it comes to the district’s ongoing infrastructure shortage.

Fuhr has been meeting with local officials since being elected as Kelowna-Lake Country MP in the Oct. 19 federal election. He met Kelowna mayor Colin Basran last week and is expected to meet with Baker and Lake Country officials before he departs for Ottawa early November.

Baker said the fact that the Liberals promised a record amount of infrastructure spending bodes well for the district’s attempts to acquire funding.

“The Liberal platform was good with regard to infrastructure spending so we have to see that some of that comes our way,” said Baker.

“Our biggest issue is our Transportation for Tomorrow plan so (we hope) they can continue the grant program like Build Canada and have

that relate to what we are doing with our roads and cycling paths and other infrastructure like water and sewer.”

In Lake Country, district officials have produced a $30-million Transportation for Tomorrow plan, identifying its problems with area roads and transportation networks and the need for at least $1.5 million annually to repair and replace the roadways.

Baker said the district has had good success securing money from senior levels of government at both the provincial and federal level in the past with the key being the grant applications sent in by the district.

“You need a strong proposal and you need to have plans in place,” said Baker of the keys to

accessing infrastructure money. “It is imperative that we can access this money. We are such a fast-growing community and we have a lot of deficits in our infrastructure.”

Fuhr expects to leave for Ottawa on Nov. 1 to be sworn in and get his office set up. Since the election he has been busy fielding phone calls from well-wishers and his new constituents and getting organized, including a quick meeting with the City of Kelowna. He also plans to touch base with Lake Country on its specific needs this week.

Treatment for Chronic Foot Pain Available in Kelowna

P

ain in the feet is one of the most debilitating injuries we can be plagued with; it is felt in the arch of the foot (Plantar Fasciitis), the heel (Plantar Fasciitis or heel spur) or at the back of the ankle (Achilles Tendonitis).

success, it gives up and healing stops.

Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave.

Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel.

Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used.

ensures the company will benefit from the fact that the new plant is within a three-hour drive of its top clients.

It’s a boon to its bottom line and makes it increasingly competitive, but Sloan said that the company intended to keep the manufacturing arm of the company in Kelowna.

Employees have said they were told to expect

at least a couple more years of work.

“We were hoping the oil prices would turn around and then we could sustain both (plants),” said Sloan.

“But when oil prices go down, so too goes the demand for our product.”

Manufacturing, in general, is an increasingly difficult business to sustain in Kelowna, he said, pointing out that jobs in that field are continually drifting away

from the region.

That said, he pointed out that there is nothing local or provincial governments could have done to keep their business local. It’s just market forces prompting the move.

What has kept the tech arm of the company in Kelowna is simply the fact that the engineers who started the company, or moved to the area as it grew, don’t want to leave.

And they don’t have to.

Sloan said the Scientific Research and Experimental Development Program is one of the reasons why the company will keep its tech arm of the business in Kelowna.

Local manufacting takes another hit

One of the Halloween ghoulish scenes played out at the Kelowna Corn Maze located in Glenmore at 575 Valley Rd.

KELOWNA CORN MAZE

Bad harvest created Halloween landmark Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Tucked into some agricultural land that’s pressed against the more urban developments of Glenmore, there’s a Halloween treat a growing number of Kelowna residents are exploring.

The Kelowna Corn Maze, at 575 Valley Rd., started five years ago as a way to offset the losses stemming from a bad harvest.

“We had planted the wrong seed and it didn’t grow properly,” explained Anda Verge, who has

taken part in planning the attraction since its inception. “Now we have a better crop.”

Despite the need for the ‘diversified farming’themed backup plan being less present, the owners of the farm have continued with the maze, improving it each year.

“It was just a quarter of an acre at the time and now it’s nearly three acres,” said Verge, who says the maze is hand planted and mapped out with a GPS. Those who visit are advised that it could be a three-quarter mile walk, from one end to the

other, starting with the reaper then back around past some ghosts that herald freedom.

During the day the maze is kid-friendly, which many of those in attendance attested to this weekend.

“It’s awesome,” said Madison Wightman, age 9. “If you take the wrong turn, there are zombies and spiders.”

During the evening, however, it takes a turn that Wightman’s mom said she, and most children, wouldn’t be quite ready for.

Boxes outfitted with animatronic ghouls and ghosts greet those who are winding their way through the maze.

It’s a lot of fun, said Verge, pointing out that, while they don’t count the number of visitors to the maze, they have a steady flow.

With popularity, however, comes challenges. Each year that’s passed has seen casualties to the animatronics, as visitors rip them apart.

“It’s discouraging,” said Verge, pointing out that planning for the maze starts many months beforehand, so she takes the damages personally.

That said, once they’ve been discovered they go about fixing what’s been broken, ensuring that ensuing visitors get a good time.

The maze is only open in October. For more information go to www. kelownacornmaze.ca

Opinion OUR VIEW

Seeking a new approach to leadership On Monday, Oct. 19, voters across Canada dealt Stephen Harper’s Conservative Party a stinging rebuke and handed Justin Trudeau’s Liberals the mandate to govern with a majority.

While the Liberals now control the levers in Ottawa, they should draw several lessons from the election that put them there.

With the Conservatives in power, the country was not, despite the cries of some, going down the tubes.

The economy has generally been stable, crime continues to fall, and the rights of law-abiding individuals continue to be enshrined in law.

The government can claim only partial credit for some of those, but nonetheless, Canada ranks well on an international scale.

The fact that the government was defeated in such a manner in spite of those strong fundamentals suggests Canadians had grown tired with how the Conservatives went about their business. And the Liberals must heed that cautionary note.

They have already laid out an ambitious agenda. They must keep the economy running, while helping those who need a hand.

They have promised to run a deficit in order to increase infrastructure spending, but must keep the debt in check so as not to cripple future generations. And they have to balance the need to protect Canadians with the rights of citizens.

But that isn’t enough, voters have said. They must govern in a manner that prizes openness over secrecy, and inclusiveness over division. Trudeau has spoken about such principles.

But now it’s time for him to make good on his promises.

Tip of the hat to Cannan: Job well done Last week’s federal election result in City Kelowna-Lake Confidential Country showed nice guys don’t ALISTAIR always finish last— WATERS sometimes they finish second.

But in a game where—in the ill-fated words of U.S. General George Custer as he raced to the Little Big Horn ahead of other cavalry officers: “First is first and second is nothing”— there’s no bragging rights when you don’t win an election.

But Ron Cannan, who represented the riding for nearly 10 years, can leave office with his head held high.

Ask just about anyone—even the people who campaigned against him—and all will say the same thing. They’ll tell you Cannan is a nice guy.

Personally, he may not have deserved his fate but politically, he hitched his wagon to the wrong star, a star that has been spectacularly falling from the sky in the four years since the heady days of the Conservative majority government win in 2011. Still, Cannan’s work as a constituency MP is what most recognized as his strength.

In a riding that garnered little attention from the party during the campaign because it was viewed as a Tory stronghold, Cannan was able to help secure millions in federal funds for local projects over the years.

Would that money have flowed in if someone else was in office? Not a Liberal backbencher with a majority Conservative government. But quite possibly another Tory MP. Nonetheless, Cannan deserves kudos for his work.

He lost the election not so much because of his own record, but rather because of the record of the government he was part of. And, especially, the man

who led that government.

But hatred of Stephen Harper is only part of the story here. Credit also has to be given the man, and the campaign, who ousted Cannan.

Liberal Stephen Fuhr ran the strongest Liberal campaign the riding has seen in years, aided, ironically, by the fact the campaign was so long—a feature many Canadians found upsetting. But it gave Fuhr, an unknown, more time to connect with voters, especially young people. A bigger voter turnout, the changing demographics in the riding, the emergence of young voters here and the loss of an estimated 22,000 from the previous version of the riding all helped too.

The loss of the voters to the next-door Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola riding likely helped Conservative candidate Dan Albas take that riding by a slim margin over Liberal Karley Scott.

Those voters, mostly from the South Pandosy and Mission areas of Kelowna, were, for the most part Torytypes, folks who identify with the Conservatives and who likely voted for Canaan in 2011 when he took 57 per cent of the vote.

So, as Cannan cleans out his offices this week and Fuhr gets set to be sworn in, it’s worth remembering the work Cannan did here in the riding.

Even Fuhr admitted last week he feels he has big shoes to fill.

But elections, while they often elicit feelings of who voters want to vote against, are actually about voting for someone—whether the voter realizes that or not.

So, it’s time to look forward, not backwards.

But that shouldn’t preclude the ability to say thanks to a guy who spent the better part of the last 20 years— first as a Kelowna city councillor and then as an MP—in public office representing Central Okanagan residents.

Thanks Ron. Alistair Waters is the assistant editor of the Kelowna Capital News.

Letters OUR CHILDRENS’ DEBT

North B.C. bustling, but its Clark doesn’t adding to our debt load accept invite to discuss pot’s future To the editor: We did a quick trip to Prince George, not much new there but a vibrant city almost central to B.C., with three working pulp mills and several sawmills of good proportions.

Then, we took Highway 97 NE to Fort St John/Dawson Creek area. Near Dawson Creek we could see that BC Hydro is busy building a massive hydro electric collection system for the new windmills—very positive activity for B.C. Driving north to Fort St. John, we notice that the 49 miles of highway is being fourlaned to accompany a huge amount of both truck and tourist traffic. All land traffic to Alaska and the Yukon uses this road. At the Peace River, the big hill leading down to the river from the south is being rebuilt to four lanes and a new slope. The little town of Taylor is busy with a pulp mill and sawmill as well as a large gas processing plant. Upon entering the south of Fort St. John we notice that the highway is four lanes through town with many new additions of new construction along both sides, both for oil/gas fracking, drilling, supply and repair services.

My brother-in-law lives on a farm overlooking the new Site C Dam area— lakefront property. We walked over to the edge of the Peace River bank (about 60 degree slope down to the river) to see the progress. (B.C. Premier) Christy Clark is busy clearing land and trees for the new dam just south of the Moberly River entering the Peace River. So, if you are wondering if the dam is a go or not—work is in progress. Land has been purchased on the Old Fort Road to supply the dam fill required for the huge project. An eight-km long conveyor belt will bring the material to the dam site. Fort St. John is expected to double to 54,000 people in the next 10 years.

Our trip goes back to Prince George then west to Kitimat. At Kitimat, we noticed that three land sites have been partially cleared and signs put up indicating three new LNG

(liquified natural gas) projects. There is no hardware visible, no new docks for large LNG ships, no new power lines, no new large natural gas line to supply these three plants but the intentions are there.

We did a day trip to Prince Rupert to learn that the island in question for the huge LNG plant is being disputed by two native tribes— they both claim to own the island. This will further delay the project until the rightful owner is paid the proper sum for the use of the area.

Prince Rupert is a busy town with deep sea loading of containers and farm products. And of course, we still need the large gas pipeline put into the ground—some day.

The pipeline to Prince Rupert from the Fort St. John area is $7 billion plus the $12 billion for the dam. When the Chinese etc., buy the gas they will burn it or make plastics from it. For a fraction of the $19 billion we could build several natural gas-fired generating plants anywhere in B.C. plus we save 30,000 acres of most prime farmland (only three per cent of B.C. is farmland). Should we burn the gas ourselves or spend all this money liquefying and transporting the gas to China?

Four generating plants would probably do the same as Site C production for about $4-6 billion.

Of course, if you live in the Lower Mainland and have never visited the area, how can you have a picture of the progress and the possibilities? I hope this will help you to imagine the new industry and where “your” money is being spent.

BC Hydro is $70 billion in debt but what is another $12 billion added to that and the $60 billion Christy Clark owes to the banks? It is only money—lets spend more—make sure our grandchildren never will be debt free.

LNG will not pay off our debt nor will Site C—I believe that will become a fact.

To the editor: As a local organizer for Sensible BC and constituent of West Kelowna, I recently contacted the office of my MLA—Premier Christy Clark—regarding the election of the federal Liberals and the anticipated change to Canada’s marijuana laws. As in my past correspondence with her office, I offered her the opportunity to discuss the issue with some of our own experts in the field. These include Ph.D. researchers, medical personnel, growers, patients and medical dispensary representatives.

Rather than initiating this inevitable conversation, I was given a polite “thanks, but, no thanks” response. Instead, the B.C. government will wait for the federal government to consult with them and, then, Premier Clark’s government will consult with health and public security officials.

Unfortunately, this demonstrates exactly why the black market is flourishing. Premier Clark’s position ignores the fully functioning industry and distribution network already in place. Without acknowledging and, to some extent, incorporating those preexisting players—patients, dispensaries and growers—B.C. will continue to miss out on the economic and social advantages of a well thought out legalization regimen. The black market will continue to thrive without public buy-in to any new system.

Given that her LNG proposals have tanked so dramatically, one would think that Premier Clark would recognize an economic life preserver when she sees one.

It was Trudeaumania, not good leadership Open letter to Charlie Hodge: Re Charlie Hodge: Your tirade in your last column has revealed the fact of jealousy on your part. You obviously understand the need for high class quality leadership that our men—Ron (Cannan) and Stephen (Harper)— have provided in these last years. Your long apology to Ron reveals the fact that what you advised your readers to do, happened. Now you have remorse for damaging, what you claimed, was a friendship.

Trudeaumania has elected our future federal government—not leadership.

Remember the song, Don’t Worry, Be

Happy. Wisely stated in these troubled world where we citizens are constantly concerned about everything and anything that may or may not happen in or lives. This, with the offer of political, unrealistic solutions, has caused millions to flee from the security of a wise leader and jump into the floods of empty political promises.

Now it is time to be concerned. As you have stated, it will be a “very bumpy ride.”

Oh that we in Kelowna could have leadership in City Hall like what Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his crew provided. The scriptures state very well what

City needs more handrails Open letter to Kelowna City Hall: Do we need hand rails in public buildings like Prospera Place? Of course, we do. And we need them now.

Ten years ago I attended writing sessions at our Kelowna museum. Staff was kind enough to let me and others use the elevator inside the building. Getting into the building was the challenge. A very steep gravel ramps entails a lot of walking for those of us with chronic pain. There are some shorter routes with three or four steps. But—no railings.

we fit everyone!

BLACK MARKET CONTINUES

Ten years ago I brought this to the attention of the museum and City Hall. Guess what. No railings yet.

I’m sure some junior students at the vocational college could solve this dilemma in a single day.

How come our civic management cannot protect the safety of our citizens? It would take very little of your precious time and very little of taxpayers money to solve these and similar problems.

Dogs and other pets are drawn to the taste of chocolate, but it is harmful for them to eat and can be fatal.

Chocolate is made from cacao beans.

Cacao beans contain a toxic substance called theobromine.

Cacao beans also contain caffeine but in much smaller amounts than theobromine.

Both theobromine and caffeine are members of a drug class called methylxanines.

The reason why theobromine is toxic for dogs is because they process it much more slowly than humans.

At 17 hours after the chocolate ingestion, half of the theobromine is still

Furry Friends DR. MOSHE OZ in the dog’s system. While theobromine is also toxic to cats, our felines are less likely to ingest chocolate than dogs.

Theobromine and caffeine can adversely affect the nervous system and the heart. Both can also lead to increase of the blood pressure.

The early signs of chocolate intoxication are nausea (manifested by drooling and smacking the lips) vomiting and excessive urination.

Truly toxic amounts

can induce hyperactivity, rapid heart rate, tremors, seizures and eventually respiratory failure and cardiac arrest.

The more theobromine a cocoa product contains, the more poisonous it is to your dog. Research has shown that one ounce of milk chocolate per pound of body weight is potentially lethal.

Dark chocolate and baker’s chocolate are riskiest, milk and white chocolate pose a much less serious risk.

So 20 ounces of milk chocolate, 10 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and just 2.25 ounces of baking chocolate could potentially kill a 22-pound dog.

Small dogs are at greater risk of chocolate toxicity than large dogs.

This is because they can be poisoned by small quantities of chocolate.

In most instances, diagnosis is based upon physical exam findings in combination with a history of access to chocolate. There is no definitive test for chocolate ingestion.

Unfortunately, theobromine has no antidote (medication that can reverse the adverse effects) The treatment for chocolate toxicity is primarily supportive.

Treatment focuses on addressing symptoms and problems that develop until the toxins are

excreted by the body.

In most cases, intoxication resolves within 24 to 36 hours.

If caught shortly after ingestion, attempts to reduce the chocolate poison absorption can be made by inducing vomiting or feeding active charcoal.

Intravenous fluids and anti-seizure medication are also frequently required. Symptoms of intoxication usually occur four to 24 hours after the ingestion.

Prevention is the key. Keep all chocolate goodies in a nonaccessible place for your pet. Don’t share any chocolate with your pet on any circumstances.

If you suspect that your dog is exposed to chocolate, contact your veterinarian. The dog’s weight, the type and amount of the chocolate ingested are all important information for the vet in order to assess the dog’s risk and condition.

Don’t let this information make you avoid bringing chocolate into your house. Just store the chocolates in a place that is inaccessible to any of your pets. Paying close attention to your gluttonous pet’s eating should keep your pets safe and the holiday spirit still alive.

Car seats have been flying off the shelves of local community services agencies after United Way delivered 84 seats throughout the region.

The car seats were purchased for families that can’t afford them as part of a new Child Safety Initiative.

This unique partnership between the Central Okanagan Foundation, KGH Foundation, United Way Central and South Okanagan/Similkameen and Costco is a pilot project this year with an initial $16,000 invested in the program.

Other contributors to the program include Budget Car and Truck Rental which provided a free cube van for the delivery of the seats to the South Okanagan agencies and Kelowna Now which provided temporary storage after the car seats arrived.

“This is truly community in action,” said Shelley Gilmore, executive director of United CSO. “United Way CSO is committed to ensuring our community works together to make it a stronger and healthier place for everyone. Through this partnership with KGH Foundation, COF and Costco we have been able to supply car seats to families in need in our region, working to help families keep their children safe.”

United Way partner agencies in Lake Country, Kelowna, Peachland, Summerland, Penticton, Oliver, Keremeos and Princeton received car seats to distribute to families in their

community and almost all of the car seats are spoken for. Local agencies were able to assess the needs of applicants and distribute the car seats to individuals as they saw fit.

Doug Rankmore, with the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, said he was thrilled to see the foundation working together with the United Way and Central Okanagan Foundation on this community project.

“This is critical work and the collaboration helps to make it possible,” Rankmore said.

“COF is delighted to participate in this important community collaboration,” said Bruce Davies, executive director of the Central Okanagan Foundation.

“This successful partnership between United Way CSO, KGH Foundation, Costco and COF is proof of the power of working together towards promoting the safety of the children of our communities.”

The United Way hopes to continue the program next year, with the focus more on tackling the root cause of poverty in our communities. Funds for this initiative came from the United Way Impact Fund which is used to invest in partnerships, collective impact initiatives, capacity building and increasing access to services and supports.

Car seat safety initiative has enthusiastic response

Dancing to Michael Jackson’s Thriller were more than 120 participants costumed as zombies. The flash mob was organized by the Studio 9 School of Arts in Kelowna, part of a worldwide event.

WORLDWIDE DANCE PARTY

Giving local ‘zombies’ a thrill Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Men, women and children lurched and shimmied their way around Stuart Park this weekend to the sound of Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

It was for the Thrill the World event, a ghoulishly good dance party that lasted only five minutes and included 120-plus local participants who appeared to have well

surpassed their best before dates.

“It’s great. Everyone from little kids to grandmothers are here and some schools sent their kids,” said Mike Guzzi, a zombiefied representative of Studio 9 School of the Arts, the organization behind this year’s contribution to the worldwide dance party.

“When I heard nobody [here] was doing it, I thought we should get

involved, so we did,” said Guzzi. “The studio organized it, but anybody was welcome.”

It was a labour of love, said Guzzi, noting that there’s something delightful and disarming about dressing up like a zombie and traveling through the city.

There’s the costume element, and the simple fact that there’s a lot of fun to be had in a community to come

forward in dance.

For Lou Gramdell, Mareen Jolley and Robyn Giffen the appeal of Thrill the World was the dancing.

“We line-dance every Thursday at the OK Corral and this is just another version of a line dance,” said Gramdell.

Thrill the World is considered the “biggest Halloween event on the planet” as it’s not just Kelowna residents taking part.

Michael Jackson’s Thriller is played and participants dance the same moves at the same time all around the world.

Some of the more unexpected locations include Malaysia,Turkey, Russia, Romania, Japan, Columbia, Tasmania and Rwanda.

Besides scaring as many humans as possible, most local events include a fundraiser of their choice.

So far, close to $300,000 has been raised for charities. .

Thrill the World was started by Ines Markelle, who studied dance at York University in Toronto.

Markelle started the project in 2006 hoping to set a Guinness World Record for Largest Thriller Dance. She achieved this with 62 people.

In 2007, 1,722 people in 52 cities on five continents participated in Thrill the World, setting two world records— Largest Simultaneous Thriller Dance with the World Records Academy and the Record Holders’ Republic.

B.C. priorities for the incoming Trudeau government After the longest federal election campaign in living memory, I hope all the candidates in the Kelowna area, and across the province, took a day or two off with their families.

Putting your name forward and stepping into the often tough world of politics isn’t easy, but our democratic system relies on good people doing just that. Win or lose, they all deserve our thanks and respect.

In particular, I want to congratulate Justin Trudeau, and local MPs Dan Albas, Mel Arnold, Richard Cannings, and Stephen Fuhr. And I want to thank Ron Cannan for his service to Kelowna-Lake Country. Regardless of party affiliation, my job as premier

is to work with all federal parties to MLA’s Report ensure the federal government understands our CHRISTY priorities. That CLARK means supporting our strong, growing and diverse economy, creating the conditions for new jobs, opening new markets in Asia, and investing in critical services and infrastructure.

The results are clear: British Columbia is one of the last few net contributors to confederation. While other provinces struggle to control spending and balance their budgets, we have three consecutive balanced

budgets in a row, with a fourth coming next year, and in four years, we’ll eliminate B.C.’s operating debt for the first time in 40 years.

Thanks to your hard work, B.C. is projected to lead Canada in economic growth this year and for years to come; placing our province in an enviable position in Canada. It also means we have the ability to build upon our worldleading education, health care and post-secondary systems. Those are the things we can control—but like any province, British Columbia needs

a strong federal partner.

I’ve already reached out to Trudeau about our most urgent priority: A new agreement with the United States on softwood lumber. The nowexpired 2006 agreement saw $2.4 billion in duties returned to B.C. companies—a huge boost for one of B.C.’s largest and most significant economic engines.

Forestry is responsible for more than 145,000 direct and indirect jobs. While we’ve made great strides diversifying our export markets, particularly in Asia, the U.S. isn’t going anywhere—it will always be a crucial market. It’s critical to have a stable agreement with our largest softwood trading partner.

We also need a federal partner to support a once-in-a-generation opportunity in liquefied natural gas. The Pacific NorthWest LNG project, currently under review by the federal government, represents a US$36-billion investment, 330 direct operational long-term jobs, 300 local spin-off jobs, up to 4,500 jobs at peak construction, as well as contract, supply, and other economic opportunities for small- and mediumsized businesses across the province.

I look forward to working with Prime Minister Trudeau to ensure B.C. can continue to contribute to this country like never before.

Premier Christy Clark is the MLA for Westside-Kelowna.

Sports BCFC OKANAGAN SUN

We’ve been working our butts off…”

Sun conquers B.C., national title beckons whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

In the days following their demoralizing loss to the Langley Rams a year ago in the B.C. Football Conference final, every coach and veteran player on the Okanagan Sun made a pact.

Nothing would stop them from making amends in 2015.

On Sunday, the Sun made good on their vow with a convincing 54-0 drubbing of the Vancouver Island Raiders in the Cullen Cup championship at the Apple Bowl.

The BCFC champs are now preparing for a trip to Saskatoon next month to take on the Hilltops for the Canadian Bowl title.

Sunday’s lopsided win completed a dominant 12-0 romp through B.C. competition this season and served as a reward for the team’s unwavering commitment to common goal.

“We’ve been working our butts off, I don’t think we took more than three or four days off over the last 12 months, so it really showed,” said Sun quarterback Cam Bedore, who threw two touchdown passes and ran for another in the final.

“The guys all did an amazing job and our coaches did a great job of preparing us. It really feels great.”

The win also ended 11 seasons of disappointment for the

The Okanagan Sun celebrates the B.C. Football Conference title Sunday at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna.

Sun organization which hadn’t won a provincial championship since 2004.

Head coach Shane Beatty, who took over the reins at the start of the 2013 season, said the Sun is back where it belongs.

“It means everything, this is where we’re supposed to be,” Beatty said of ending the title

drought. “These kids worked tirelessly, I’m so proud of them. This is for the whole organization from top to bottom.

“There’s not a selfish kid over there of the 75 kids here,” Beatty said of his players. “That’s the nice thing about it.”

Still, as much as the B.C. championship was

a much sought-after goal, the season won’t be complete unless the Sun can also claim the national title.

Graduating defensive star Brennan Van Nistelrooy said he and his teammates are hungry and motivated to take that one final step.

“This means the world

to us, we’ve been trying a long time to get here,” Van Nistelrooy said of the B.C. title. “However it really doesn’t mean much unless we win it all in two weeks, so that’s our goal.

We’ll celebrate this, but at the end of the day, we’re going to focus on the national final.”

In the Hilltops, the

Sun will face a perennial powerhouse in junior football and the defending Canadian champions.

On paper, Beatty likes how his team matches up with the Prairie Football Conference champs, who have 17 national titles to their credit.

“Saskatoon is a different beast and so are we,” Beatty said. “We come out with a lot of speed, we have size on the O-line, they have size everywhere. We match up very well, our receivers against their defensive backs.

“We’ve gotta step their run, if we do that we’re rolling.”

The Sun will visit the Hilltops Saturday, Nov. 7 for the Canadian Junior Football League championship.

WHL ROCKETS

Compete level ‘second to none’ In the spring of 2010, Tyson Baillie waited until the 53rd overall pick for his name to be called at the Western Hockey League bantam draft.

What many scouts perceived as less-thanaverage skating abilities deterred teams from taking a chance on the Fort Saskatchewan, AB native.

Not so for the Kelowna Rockets, who scooped up

The thing about Tyson is his compete level, he’s always been a great competitor, and his skill level is so good, too. The puck just seemed to follow him everywhere.

Lorne Frey, Rockets GM Baillie in the third round.

Rockets’ assistant GM Lorne Frey said the

young forward simply had too many attributes to overlook.

“He’s always put up good numbers, at whatever level he’s played at,” Frey said of Baillie.

“The thing about Tyson is his compete level, he’s always been a great competitor, and his skill level is so good, too.

“The puck just seemed to follow him everywhere,” added Frey.

“Everybody questioned his skating, but everything else he brings outweighs that by far…and actually

his skating has continued to get better.”

By any standard, Baillie has had a stellar WHL career, with 104 goals and 238 points in fourplus seasons in Kelowna.

This fall, the over-age centre is off to another strong start, leading the Rockets with 23 points in 13 games.

Whatever deficiencies Baillie’s game may have, the 5-foot-11, 195-pound has more than compensated with his innate desire to succeed.

“I’m not the biggest

guy or the best skater, but I think I just want it more than most people,” Baillie said. “I have a passion for the game, and as long as I’m working hard and going to the dirty areas, that’s the key. I just love playing.

“It keeps me motivated,” Baillie added, “to be seen as too slow or small…I’m happy to silence the critics if I can.”

coach and GM. “To play a team twice in two nights, it can be fun… and it can also be not so fun because all is not forgotten when you meet the second time.

“They’re a very good team, they’ve got a good record and rightfully so, I think they have the best goaltender (Angus Redmond) in our league,” Ferster said of Salmon Arm. “We’ll need to play well.”

The Warriors are coming off a pair of wins on the weekend, 3-2 over the Vipers Friday in Vernon, then 4-2 over the Victoria Grizzlies on Sunday afternoon at home.

And while Ferster was

happy to get all four points, falling behind 2-0 early in both games is a trend the head coach doesn’t want his team to get accustomed to.

“We had to chase the game on both nights and that’s not the way you want to play,” said Ferster. “It’s a credit to the guys to come back and win and they did a nice job both nights, but we need to clean up our starts.”

Meanwhile, Saturday’s game at LePage comes with a special Halloween promotion.

Rockets home to PG Friday, Lethbridge Saturday ROCKETS FROM A14 seen Baillie’s entire body or work—which began as a 15-year-old in 201112—but certainly likes what he’s witnessed thus far in 2015-16.

“He’s got that sixth sense, he just knows where to be on the ice and is one of the best at putting himself in positions to score,” Ralph said. “He’s a true competitor, he’s talented and constantly challenges himself to get better. And he knows he can even be better.”

One skill that stands above the vast majority of other players is Baillie’s knack for scoring important goals.

He netted five game winners last spring during his team’s postseason march to the WHL championship.

Lorne Frey said it’s further evidence of Baillie’s value to the Rockets.

“He’s been a great junior, he’s scored more big goals for us than anybody and he seems to play his best when the games are the biggest,” said Frey. “He has skills and smarts, his compete level is second to none and he has great

leadership ability. You can’t ask for much more from one player.”

The Rockets (9-4-00) are on a three-game winning streak as they play a pair of home

Canada’s No. 1 ranked team in women’s volleyball has taken care of business over the first two weeks of the Canada West women’s season.

The UBC Okanagan Heat swept a pair of matches from the U of S Huskies on the weekend in Saskatoon to push their early season mark to a perfect 4-0.

“We are very happy with the team’s performance so far,” said Heat head coach Steve Manuel. “Our student athletes work extremely hard in the off season and came into training camp in great physical condition. This has kept us quite healthy throughout the pre season and has prepared us well for the start of the season.”

On Friday night at the Physical Activity Centre, the Heat dropped the first set 19-25, then rallied to win the next three 27-25, 25-20, 25-14, handing the Huskies their first loss of the season.

Breanna Beamish (13), Megan Festival (11) and Katie Wuttunee (10) all reached double figures in kills to lead UBCO to victory.

Heat setter Emily Oxland had four service aces and 26 assists.

On Saturday, the Heat followed up with a convincing 3-0 win (2512, 25-15, 25-15) for the series sweep.

The Heat took time to honour two graduating players, Mairi Horth and Michelle Smith.

Horth, from Ladysmith, started every match for

the Heat the last two years.

Horth reflected on her final season with the program.

“It was really good, I really enjoyed it,” Horth said.

“I thought it was a hard year for us, we were a pretty young team so I think for us it was just learning and getting to know everyone really well, just learning how to play with each other.”

Smith, from Vernon, scored 16 goals in 64 matches, the second most goals by one player in school history.

“I learned that your teammates are your best friends, that’s the biggest thing I learned,” said Smith, looking back on her career.

news _____________________________________________________________________ BE A FLU FIGHTER

Flu shots: Protect yourself and those around you Interior Health is gearing up to provide free flu shots for anyone atrisk of complications.

Its intention is to protect children, pregnant women, seniors, people with chronic illnesses and others from more serious illness.

In a typical influenza season, thousands of Canadians develop serious illness or even die from influenza or its complications.

The flu shot is a safe and effective way to help people stay healthy, prevent illness and save lives.

“Many people incorrectly use the term ‘flu’ to refer to any illness caused by a virus, such as the stomach flu or the common cold. However, influenza tends to be more severe. Influenza reduces the body’s ability to fight illnesses and infections and it can also increase a person’s risk for developing other serious conditions, including viral or bacterial pneumonia,” said Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, medical health officer.

“Getting a flu shot and washing your hands frequently are the two most effective ways to protect yourself and others from influenza and its complications.”

The flu shot provides protection from the influenza virus strains expected to be circulating this season based on trends worldwide.

This year’s flu shot offers protection against two influenza A viruses (an H1N1 and an H3N2 virus) and one influenza B virus.

For those under 18, the preferred vaccine also protects against an additional B influenza virus.

The flu shot is free for those at-risk of complications from influenza and those in contact with people at risk.

This includes: • People 65 years and older and their caregivers/ household contacts • People of any age in residential care facilities • Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their

household contacts • Children and adolescents (six months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods of time with Aspirin (ASA) and their household contacts • Children and adults who are morbidly obese • Aboriginal people • All children 6-59 months of age • Household contacts and caregivers of infants and children up to 59 months of age • Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy during the influenza season and their household contacts • Visitors to hospitals, health centres and residential care facilities • People who work with live poultry • Health-care and other care providers in facilities and community settings who are capable of transmitting influenza disease to those at high risk of influenza complications • People who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high-risk persons

HOCKEY PLAYERS

Groin and hip flexor muscle pulls are common injuries Every Fall, thousands of Okanagan hockey players return to the local rinks.

Although most will have a great year of painfree hockey, many will suffer an injury during the season.

The most common types of lower body hockey injuries suffered are to the groin and hip flexor muscles.

These muscles cross the hip joint from the pelvis and either pull the thigh across the midline of the body (adduction) or upward into flexion.

A certain amount of hip rotation also occurs during this. These actions are key movements during skating.

They occur when pulling the leg back under your body, prior to push off or when turning and performing crossovers.

These same muscles are also under stress when used to control end-range

Keeping You Moving JAY STONE extension and abduction (hip movement away from midline of the body) during the push phase of the stride.

In fact, it is during this controlled muscle lengthening (eccentric contraction) that the muscle most commonly fails and a strain occurs.

These important muscles are also used to stabilize the body during shooting, brace during body contact, and when a player slips or catches an edge.

Hip strength imbalances, decreased hip mobility, poor core/ trunk stability, and lack of a good dynamic warm up have all been associated

A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

250-860-2356

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

www.unitedwaycso.com

with increased risk for these injuries.

The age of the athlete and a previous hip injury are also predictive factors.

An athlete can’t change their age or go back in time and erase a previous injury, but they can be proactive about the other factors.

Research suggests that hip adductor (groin) strength should be no less than 80 per cent of abduction strength (outer hip muscles).

This can be worked on by including hip exercises such as lunges that step into 45 degree quadrants and lateral directions as well as forward and back (lunge matrix).

I also like the use of the lunge matrix because it works on hip mobility and hip stability in positions your hip often gets into during hockey.

You can also focus on your core stability during these movements.

Training your trunk to stabilize during the skating and shooting motion is paramount.

A dynamic warm up is a series of sport specific movements that are designed to prepare the muscles for use and are performed in a safe controlled fashion.

In hockey these can include movements such as squatting, lunging and high knees to name a few.

With the hockey teams I work with, I will often go through a series of 10 to 15 movements off ice before getting equipment on.

As a physiotherapist, my personal routine is to usually target a few specific movements by performing air squats and lunges with rotation in the dressing room prior to lacing up my skates.

Even with the best prevention, an injury can still occur.

Hockey is an explosive game with quick changes of direction and plenty of incidental contact.

If you do suffer an injury to the groin region that you think is a strain, I suggest you ice the injured area for the first couple days and abstain from pain provoking activities.

You should not return to skating until you can walk and lunge without pain.

Optimally, you should make your first session back a skating only session and not put yourself into a game until you know you can tolerate skating.

If you do have pain that does not settle in a couple days, or you experience other symptoms such as pain with coughing, or numbness into your groin, you should have it assessed by your doctor or physiotherapist.

There are other conditions that can occur in the region that are more serious than a muscular strain and these should be ruled out.

Recovery from injuries to the groin can take three to five weeks and they have the potential to become chronic if not treated properly.

If you suffer from this type of injury, talk to your physiotherapist about the best course of treatment so you can get back on the ice sooner.

Obligation for reasonable employee notice period Most employees are not aware of their obligation to give reasonable notice of their intention to leave their employment.

Absent of a clause to this effect in an employment contract, the notice must be reasonable.

What is reasonable?

Unfortunately, the courts establish what notice is reasonable depending on a number of factors.

A recent case considered the

Alf Kempf

enforceability of contractual provisions requiring an executive employee of Blackberry to give six months notice of his intention to resign.

The court declared that

the relatively long notice period by an employee (six months) is valid and enforceable.

Most often employment agreements only require notice periods in the range of two weeks to a month.

In the case the employee had agreed to provide six months notice of his resignation.

The employee received an offer from Apple and attempted to stop working for Blackberry

and join Apple before the six-month notice period had expired.

The court upheld the six-month notice provision as valid and enforceable.

The case is remarkable in that employers rarely attempt to enforce notice provisions but instead sue for damages for breach.

Typically, damages are difficult to recover unless the employer can point to a loss of revenue or extra costs incurred by

the early departure of the employee.

It is important to note that the court did not in the case order an injunction requiring the employee to work through the notice period.

It is generally accepted that the courts cannot compel an employee to perform services for an employer.

The important lesson from the case is that the courts will consider

The Giant Tortoise Restoration Initiative, a collaborative project of the Galápagos National Park Directorate, Galápagos Conservancy, and international scientists, is focused on the long-term restoration of all Galápagos tortoise populations to historical

numbers.

Research team member Russello, who heads the Ecological and Conservation Genomics Laboratory at UBC’s Okanagan campus, first started working on this project when he was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University.

“We initially reported cryptic species diversity in the giant Galápagos tortoises of Santa Cruz Island back in 2005,” he said. “It has been a privilege to work with this international team that now includes academics and in-country scientists and managers on four continents.

Russello says the research team will continue to explore patterns of variation in Galápagos tortoises and seek novel ways in which genetic and genomic tools can be used to preserve the tortoise population.

Air plane bound for OC A local aviation company has touched down with its second major donation to Okanagan College in as many months.

Carson Air has donated a Metroliner II aircraft to the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) M-License program; the company estimates the value of the aircraft at approximately $300,000.

The aircraft landed at the Vernon Airport on Oct. 16, welcomed by students, instructors, and Okanagan College employees outside the college’s aerospace hangar adjacent to the runway.

“This aircraft has served Carson Air very well and we are proud to see it put to use as a training tool at Okanagan College,” said Carson Air’s vice-president of operations Kevin Hillier.

“We’ve hired numerous graduates of the college’s AME program over the years, so in a way, we are supporting the future of our industry and our company with this donation.”

On Sept. 19, Carson Air announced a donation of $125,000 to support the purchase of a flight simulator for the Commercial Aviation

An international team of scientists has discovered there are actually two species of giant tortoises living on Santa Cruz Island in the centre of the Galápagos Archipelago. Until now, it was assumed that the two giant tortoise populations on the island were of the same species, just living on different sides of the island.

However, genetic analysis, conducted by an international group led by Yale University’s Adalgisa Caccone, and including UBC Okanagan associate professor Michael Russello, has clearly identified two separate populations.

The new species, only found on the eastern side of Santa Cruz Island and occupying an area currently estimated at about 40 sq km (one/10th of the island’s size) has been called the Eastern Santa Cruz Tortoise

New book offers insights into small business survival Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG After completing his degree at the University of Regina, Tim entered corporate Canada working for Sears Canada, Sask Tel and embraced a few franchise operations that gave him a solid background and foundation of the world of small business.

Tim’s book is called How Much Money Can I Make, now on the shelves with a few book signing launches already completed.

With six chapters and 15 appendices, I was overwhelmed with the detail and thoroughness of the book.

It reads not like a single university business course, but a business degree program covering everything you wanted to know about small

business if you were standing at the threshold of the ‘start-up’ journey.

Tim has lived that experience many times over in his life, and never lost the realization that the story of small business has to be told.

You can find Tim’s book at Mosaic Books in downtown Kelowna and I encourage everyone with an interest in small business and entrepreneurship to consider purchasing it.

You may have to hold it with two hands, but you won’t be sorry to have this new bible of business to assist you in your own entrepreneurial journey.

Joel Young is an entrepreneurship educator, consultant and the founder of Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurship Society. eagleyoung @ shaw.ca

their business and what kind of information would assist them.

The most common need of businesses throughout the region is information related to hiring and human resources to help them find the workers they need with specific skills.

With recruitment and retention issues a major challenge throughout Canada, this year’s Walk added questions aimed at identifying the human resources needs of Central Okanagan businesses including if they have plans to sell or retire within five years, and whether or not there is a succession plan for the business.

Seventeen per cent of the respondents said they planned to retire or sell their business and 38 per cent said they did not have a succession plan.

This consistent with other studies that show the majority of businesses do not prepare sufficiently for retirement and succession, including the Growing in the Okanagan 2020 Labour Market Outlook, a study conducted

Within a half-day blitz on Oct. 1, 65 business and civic leaders walked door-to-door and connected with 374 businesses throughout Lake Country, Kelowna, Westbank First Nation, West Kelowna and Peachland during the 2015 Central Okanagan Business Walk.

The businesses reported a generally positive business environment throughout the region with 94 per cent saying business was either Fair/Steady (33 per cent) or Good/Increasing (61 per cent).

A total of 3,576 employees, (2,437 full-time and 1,139 parttime) are represented by the businesses visited.

The Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission held the first Business Walk in Canada in 2012.

In a brief conversational survey, business owners/managers are asked to rate their business environment as Slow/Poor, Fair/ Steady or Good/Increasing.

Business operators are also asked what the greatest challenge is for

in 2014.

A breakdown of Business Walk results in each area of the Central Okanagan is provided to business stakeholders including Chambers of Commerce/Board of Trade, business improvement associations and municipal governments as a mechanism to identify possible programs and services.

One-on-one follow up to about 75 businesses throughout the region is facilitated by the COEDC. In addition, businesses that respond Slow/Poor when asked about their business environment are offered assistance by the commission.

Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission manager Corie Griffiths said, “The Business Walk continues to be a valuable tool for the COEDC and its partners and stakeholders to connect directly with businesses in the region to identify their needs, and identify areas for future programming.”

See www.investkelowna.com to read the entire report.

Meeting for Kelowna Genealogical Society The Kelowna & District Genealogical Society will hold its monthly meeting Monday, Nov. 2, 7 p.m., at the Hawthorn Park seniors’ residence, 867 KLO Rd.

The meeting will be held in Hawthorn’s Oak Room.

Recently, I reconnected with Tim Young, an old friend from Regina.

I had not realized Tim and his wife, Joann, had moved to the Okanagan 20-plus years ago and in that time assembled a history of small business ownerships since leaving dear old Regina, our prairie roots.

Tim, now in his 50s, updated me about completing his first book about small business enterprises based on his and his wife’s experiences for the last two decades.

Tim had arrived at the crossroads of nurturing the concept for this book, whereas the time had come for it to be written.

With the two hands it took me to hold its 450 pages, the book is a small business jewel of information, experiences and learning.

And as many critics have offered, it’s a book that finally unlocks the realities of founding and operating a small business in Canada.

Tim advised me that the core idea for the book came when he noticed that many small enterprises were employing very few of the management practices that larger successful enterprises had been using for many years.

Tim envisaged that he could write a book that would bridge that management practices gap.

For me, I have been involved in the world of entrepreneurship and small business creation for close to 30 years and have heard, identified and pondered the plethora of commentary about entrepreneurial/small business startups and short duration existence coupled with failed outcomes.

CONTRIBUTED

Kelowna’s royalty recently returned from our sister city of Kasugai after participating in a variety of activities during their one-week visit.

Miss Kelowna Camryn Peters and her chaperone Linda Swanson, the Lady of the Lake pageant president, were part of a local delegation that made the trip to Kasugai.

During her visit to Japan, Peters met with Mayor Futoshi Ito and delivered a message of greetings from Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran.

Peters also attended a Kasugai Rotary Club lunch where she gave a slide presentation of Kelowna and also met with the Kasugai Chamber of Commerce and Industry representatives.

She visited the Tofu Memorial Museum and had a lesson in Japanese calligraphy During her stay in Kasugai, Peters had the experience of staying in a traditional Japanese home.

Swanson said Peters was presented with many gifts during her visit and shared in many Japanese cultural experiences that will give her “memories for a lifetime.“

ART EXHIBIT Landon Mackenzie: Parallel Journey— Works on Paper Until Jan. 17 Kelowna Art Gallery 1315 Water St Artist Landon Mackenzie literally brought suitcases full of works to the Kelowna Art Gallery in preparation for her expansive new exhibition entitled Parallel Journey: Works on Paper (19752015).

The suitcases are strangely fitting as many of these works were completed while the artist traveled to various locations around the world during the past four decades.

The result is a visually rich show,

This was a popular saying when I was a child: “You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.”

It always puzzled me, as no flies at all would be attracted by vinegar.

But the idea behind was how we are more likely to win people over to our cause or point of view by being friendly and gentle than by yelling or coercion.

This seems to be the underlying stratagem to the recent work by Toronto-based artist Elizabeth D’Agostino, currently on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery in an exhibition called Makeshift.

By her title, the artist is referring to the adaptations that animals and other life forms are constantly pressured to make due to environmental changes in their habitats.

With her beautifully executed and installed work, we are not being brow beaten about the vulnerability of the natural environment, rather we are nudged to consider its amazing variety and incredible beauty.

In fact, when visitors first enter, the seductive beauty of the installation may be all they see.

We can’t decipher all of her iconography, which makes the work pique our interest even further.

The show is worth a look. Its aesthetic appeal will not disappoint, and it may even start some viewers craving to do some work themselves with Japanese papers, upon which D’Agostino relies completely.

Elizabeth D’Agostino lives and works in Toronto, where she is managing director of the Toronto School of Art. Makeshift will remain on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery until Jan. 10, 2016.

It is mostly in the odd, pod-like sculptures that we apprehend the notion of mutation, GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms)—with their suicide genes—the depletion of the world’s species, and incursions made by invasive species, far away from their natural habitats.

lifestyles__________________________________________________________________ EVENTS FROM B3 packed with works that provide visitors with an intimate and captivating experience.

Mackenzie is a nationally known, Vancouver-based artist, admired for her largescale works with paint on canvas.

Less known are her works on paper often created while traveling, which she produces voluminously as a tandem practice (or what might be considered a parallel creative journey) to her

big paintings.

Visitors will get to see this in Mackenzie’s works on paper, from her student etchings created while studying printmaking as an undergraduate at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, to her work throughout the 1990s that incorporated the artist’s interest in neural mapping: the charting of brain and nerve impulses.

This interest also led to her to begin combining images and motifs from city maps, of all time

periods, with images of the human brain.

This journey can also be seen in Mackenzie’s more recent work completed while living in Berlin in 2007 and 2013, occupying the Canada Council Paris studio in 2009, and during her time on the road as a speaker or visiting artist.

The exhibition is accompanied by a multiauthored, 196-page book published by Black Dog Publishing in the UK. After its Kelowna run, the exhibition will be going on a national tour.

••• THEATRE Jesus Christ Superstar Until Nov. 1 Kelowna Actors Studio 1379 Ellis St. This ground-breaking rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar tells the story of the last week of Christ’s life.

The zeal with which Christ’s followers are hailing him as the Son of God becomes a source of dismay to his disciple Judas Iscariot.

Fearing that this tide

of religious fervour will provoke brutal repression by the occupying Romans, Judas must make his fateful choice between faith and betrayal.

“It’s timeless and for our time,” said Randy Leslie, artistic managing director. “That’s why we are setting it in modern times, capturing the social justice aspects of Christ’s teachings that are still relevant today.

Seniors THE COMPASSIONATE HEART

Stewardship is about discovering Seniors’ our passions and Concerns holding ourselves accountable for MAJORIE allowing these HORNE gifts, whatever they might be, to flow into our communities.

It is the way of the compassionate heart and allows the circle of life to flow.

Taking the journey into elderhood is about connecting with our truest selves, but it will always remain incomplete until we have taken what we have learned through this self-reflection and share it with the world.

Living from a place of stewardship, there is no division between giving and receiving, when we give we receive and when we receive, we give.

It is like a pot of goodness creating a flow of energy that is self-sustaining. It doesn’t always flow in a back and forth process, as often we receive from some and we give to others.

This process, however, ensures a sense of belonging to a greater community than ourselves.

It also reminds us of who we really are in our truest nature, leaving a reassurance that our connections with others from this heart place is worthy of our attention in order to feel compassion towards ourselves.

Authentic giving is beautifully illustrated by Bruce Barton in this parable…”There are two seas in Palestine. One is fresh, and fish live in it. Splashes of green adorn its banks. Trees spread their branches over it and stretch out their thirsty roots to sip of its healing waters.

“Along its shores the children play. The river Jordan makes this sea with sparkling water from the hills.

So it laughs with sunshine.

“Men build their houses near it, and birds their nests, and every kind of life is happier because the sea is there. Then the river Jordan flows on south into another sea.

“Here there is no splash of fish,

no fluttering leaf, no song of birds, no children’s laughter.

“Travellers choose another route, unless they are on urgent business.

“The air hangs heavy above its waters; man, beast and bird will not drink from it.

“What makes this mighty difference between these neighbour seas? It is not the river Jordan. It empties the same good water into both, not the soil in which they lie, not the country about.

“This is the difference. The Sea of Galilee receives but does not keep the Jordan. For every drop that flows into it another drop flows out. The giving and receiving go on in equal measure.

“The other sea is shrewder, hoarding its income jealously. It will not be tempted into any generous impulse. Every drop it gets it keeps.

“The Sea of Galilee gives and lives. The other sea gives nothing. It is named the Dead Sea.” Defining what your gifts really are is not easy for some. We can get caught up in old ways of finding acceptance through performance that has often been part of the journey through our middle years.

Becoming reacquainted with our essential selves in elderhood involves a letting go of the past and sometimes starting afresh in our discovery of what we have to offer our loved ones and our communities.

Our natural gifts come easy to us, expressed in a way that bubbles forth like a brook of clear, blue water. They are unique to us, our way of feeling full and connected.

I was privileged to experience this myself as I participated in the joy of stewardship with many other compassionate hearts at a recent fundraising event for the Sing For Your Life Foundation.

Everyone coming together with a sense of passion and purpose to extend themselves for a cause

of great importance to the enhancement of the well-being of seniors in our community.

This giving, for each volunteer I am sure, awakened a spark of what it means to contribute and to join with others of like mind.

The event was a wonderful culmination of hard work that enjoyed the revelry of generous disco partiers who believed in what we are doing and opened their hearts, their pocket books and their talents to support this organization.

This giving resulted in the creation of a boundless energy of positivity that could be felt throughout the Mission Hall.

I know that as I lay in bed the next morning, taking in all that was experienced, my heart felt full and the returning flow of receiving was very much present in a life-affirming way.

Most of the time stewardship is not about giving in big, dramatic ways. Often the need is much simpler, sometimes so simple that we can easily fail to notice it.

The author David Irvine sums up stewardship in this way: “An important part of stewardship is to open our eyes, open our hearts and become aware. We have all experienced, and we have all been, people who help and people who hinder; people who lift and people who lean; people who contribute and people who consume.

“To give encouragement, offer support, show interest, and awaken hope in others is its own reward and returns to the giver many times over.”

Development of a compassionate heart, lived out in acts of stewardship, is an integral part of aging gracefully and developing a meaningful life. In your encounters with others this week, when spirit moves you, ask yourself the simple phrase: Is there something I can do to help? And if you hear a response, don’t hesitate….just do it.

Repair wizards in demand Are you handy fixing small appliances, or electronics, a real whiz at bike repair?

Want to volunteer a few hours of your time to share your special skills with others?

If so, the Regional Waste Reduction Office wants to hear from you.

and visit with like-minded fixers.

The Repair Café takes place Saturday, Nov. 7, at Okanagan College.

If you’re able to fix one or two things or a whole bunch of things email recycle@cord.bc.ca, or call the waste reduction office at 250-469-6250.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN ▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Choosing the right mortgage One of the most popular types of mortgages is the fixed rate option. A five-year fixed rate mortgage is currently available as low as 2.59 per cent.

Fixed rate means the interest rate remains the same over the term of the mortgage, in contrast to a variable rate mortgage where the interest rate can fluctuate month to month.

If you have a set budget and want to have a predictable monthly payment, a fixed-rate mortgage might be your best option.

While fixed rates haven’t been this low in decades, a risk associated with a fixed rate mortgage is the penalty you may face should you need to prematurely pay off the mortgage.

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

An interest differential is an unknown, and depending on rates at the time you pay the mortgage off and how far along in the term the mortgage has progressed when you pay it out, an IRD penalty can be devastating.

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

With a variable mortgage, if the prime rate increases or decreases your rate and payment will fluctuate.

However, a variable rate mortgage typically offers more flexible terms than a fixed rate mortgage. And you can convert from a variable to a fixed rate at any time without a penalty.

You will be offered the fixed rate available at the time of conversion.

Variable rates are linked to the prime interest rate set by the Bank of Canada.

The Bank of Canada is not a commercial bank and their principle role, as defined in the Bank of Canada Act, is “to promote the economic and financial welfare of Canada.”

A variable rate mortgage might be right for you if your budget is somewhat flexible and you feel comfortable with fluctuating interest rates. Historically, choosing a variable mortgage rate has been more cost-effective than locking in on a five-year fixed rate.

Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Darwyn Sloat (250-718-4117); Christine Hawkins (250-8262001); and Trish Balaberde (250-470-8324) .

New furniture store offers fresh take for customers When you relocate to a new city for a fresh start, the last thing on most people’s minds is attempting a brand new start up venture—and all within a six-month timeframe no less.

But that’s exactly what the spunky husband and wife team of Scott and Leeann Vigar did, moving their young family from Sherwood Park, Alta., to Kelowna in the summer of 2013. Embarking immediately on a major house renovation, their momentum came to a screeching halt when it came time to search for furnishings and items to outfit their newly remodeled home that reflected their own love of mid-century modern, high-quality contemporary products.

The lack of availability and options sparked a crazy, yet ambitious idea for the couple: Why not open their own store and provide the plethora of items they had such difficulty sourcing themselves?

And with that, Factor Furniture, an amazingly atypical, fun loving, statement making store, was born.

For Scott, who has an extensive background within the commercial office furnishings industry, the transition into residential furniture retailer seemed a natural and innate fit.

But for Leeann, the switch from paralegal into fullblown business owner was a huge career change.

‘‘

Of all the complexities that come with a new start-up, finding the right location was a huge challenge….

Crispin Butterfield

’’

For not only do the pair simply own Factor, both share the responsibilities in running and operating the location on a daily basis.

Of all the complexities that come with a new start-up, finding the right location was a huge challenge initially.

Wanting to be close to the downtown scene, with the amenities of a newer structure, the Vigars chose a space within the bustling multi-mix Stewart Centre, right in the heart of Kelowna’s business hub.

Located at 102-1851 Kirschner Rd., the store is a haven for those with a penchant for clean lines, contemporary style, and mid-century modern flare, boasting an industrial-feeling open concept, with soaring ceilings and an amazing floor-to-ceiling front wall of glass.

For Scott and Leeann, the store envelope was just

as important in supporting their design aesthetic as the products they wanted to showcase inside.

And it’s the unique, quality pieces, and genuinely authentic way the Vigars do business that customers have come to love There aren’t any gimmicks, sales pressures, or distractions within their walls—both care more about the relationships they have built and fostered with their customers, and have let the furniture and products speak for themselves.

DANTE ID# 378672

~and others~ for Q & A

This sweet 5 year old pit bull mix will melt your heart and make you laugh with his quirky and goofy antics. Dante loves life, meeting new people and is super affectionate! He is pretty cute with his toys too and can often be seen walking around with a kong in his mouth like a pacifier. Dante is a medium energy level dog and enjoys his walks. He is a little TOO interested in small animals, so it would be best that any fur friends he is introduced to are his size or bigger. Due to his exuberance he would do best in a home with older children where he can have the focused attention and love he needs to be the stable guy that we know he is!

2 YEAR OLD GUINEA PIG MALE

Hi, my name is Yogi. I came to the Shelter with my bother, BooBoo, to find a new home. We’ve been together since birth, so we need to go to a home together. If you know how to love and care for one of us, it’s no extra trouble to love and care for the two of us - really, it’s not. Just remember - it will be twice the “cute and lovable” you’ll get in return. It’s been told that we make really good ‘first pets’ for a young family. Just like humans, we enjoy our apple (less the core), carrot and kale treats....we squeek with anticipation while they are being prepared. We are great fun and would be great company.

BELLA ID#232380 3 YEAR OLD DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE

Hello! My name is Bella and I am patiently awaiting to become part of your family. I am a very quiet cat who would prefer a low-key family. I have been in a quiet home for the last few years and prefer solitude and no commotion.

I am a very sweet cat who will make a rewarding companion given the chance.

I LOVE catnip, being groomed softly and socializing. If I sound like a match, please come introduce yourself... I am very much worth it!

DIESEL ID#328010 8 YEAR OLD LABRADOR RETRIEVER X MALE

Diesel is a very sweet boy. We feel he would best be suited to a home where he could be with his guardian(s) most of the time. Diesel is very affectionate and thinks he’s a lap dog. He will sit with his head in your lap and beg for belly rubs, is quite goofy and playful and loves to play ‘keep away’ with squeeky toys.

Diesel would best fit into a home where he’s the only dog with no small children - and, oh yes, no cats. A large property, acreage or farm-type home and regular exercise would be great for him. He is a very gentle soul. He would love to find his ‘furever’ home.
