OPINION

BRETT BULMER being reassigned to junior ranks by the Minnesota Wild is great news for the injury-depleted Kelowna Rockets.

A KELOWNA MAN was badly injured in his cell at the Kamloops Correctional Centre last week, and his family is thankful the attack didn’t cause more damage than the loss of sight in one eye.

SHAREN MARTENY says Kelowna’s seniors often need more than just medical treatments or prescriptions to enhance their quality of life.

ROBERT SMITHSON warns employers to be wary of using social media information to analyze potential new employees.

While declining birthrates are forcing school closures and teacher layoffs around the province, a neighbourhood in West Kelowna is bucking the trend. Monday afternoon, parents, teachers and administrators in the Shannon Lake and Rose Valley neighbourhoods of West Kelowna learned the province will alot a portion of a new $353 million capital projects plan toward a new school for the area. “There are school districts in our province that have experienced tremendous student enrolment growth in recent years, and are in need of funds to expand current schools or build new ones. That’s why we are taking action today,” Premier Christy Clark said at a press conference held in Surrey. “This investment will also create more jobs, which is great news for B.C. families.” For the families in Glenrosa in particular, the announcement will also spell relief for a school campus described as “quite frankly at capacity” by the superintendent of schools Hugh Gloster. “This is wonderful news and I think it’s a tribute to the hard work that’s been done by our board of education and local MLAs,” said Gloster. Shannon Lake Elementary just opened an eight classroom edition, largely funded to make room for fullday kindergarten; but Glenrosa Elementary is surviving off portables with expectations both neighbourhoods will continue to grow. A property on Rosewood Drive has already been purchased by the school district to build the new facility and board of education chairman Rolli Cacchioni said trustees want to strike a funding partnership with the District of West Kelowna to secure backing for community elements, like a classroom that might remain open on weekends for the sports teams making use of the fields. Partnering with the community will be equally important in Kelowna where, according to Clark’s Monday announcement, an addition for Okanagan Mission Secondary School will also be built. “Originally, when it was built, it was built for 500 students and it’s now over 1,000,” said Cacchioni.

West Kelowna mother Natasha Clark is asking for Mounties to snap into action and start dealing with a strip of road being used by area motorists as a racetrack.

“It’s become ridiculous. Someone could get killed,” Clark said. “Webber Road and the entire upper Glenrosa area is treated like a speedway. “People will drive side-by-side racing at 90/ km an hour and there are never any police.”

Concerns around motorist behaviour on the stretch of road aren’t new, but Clark was pushed past tolerance last Friday when her 12-year-old son Salem was hit by a truck she believes was speeding. “He walked his bike up the hill, and he had just

Fruit growers WFN celebrates interchange opening clash at meeting Wade Paterson CONTRIBUTOR

Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

It was a fractious meeting that saw hundreds of orchardists gather in Peachland from around the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys Thursday afternoon to turf out two of three incumbents on the board of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Kirpel Boparai Co-operative and replace them with growers calling for changes. Exactly what changes they wish to make remains to be seen because in their three-minute talks prior to election, most were not specific. However, there were some shrill voices raised during the business discussions at the five-hour meeting and Colin Pritchard a lot of finger pointing. Elected to represent the northern half of the valley on the 10-member board was Karmjit Gill, of Kelowna, while Kirpal Boparai and Colin Pritchard, also of Kelowna, tied for the second northern post on the board. Defeated was incumbent Steve Day, along with Brian Porter, both of Kelowna. Jim Elliot, of Oyama, did not stand for re-election, after serving the first three years of the newly-amalgamated co-operative’s existence as president of the board. In the south, Ron Vollo, of Summerland, was reelected, and Darshan Jassar, of Penticton, unseated incumbent Claude Moreira on the board. The other board members are Sam DiMaria, of Kelowna, Malcolm Mitchell, of Winfield, Philip Patara, of Kelowna, Nirmal Dhaliwal, of Oliver and Jack Machial, of Oliver. Immediately following the annual general meeting of the OTFC, board members voted Pritchard onto the board, so Boparai was defeated in his bid for a seat. The board also elected Rob Dawson, of Cawston, as interim president, until a special meeting set for Nov. 9. Growers complained that they are not making a living in the tree fruit industry, and some suggested the cooperative should take lower quality fruit, rather than diverting it to be processed, which pays just a few cents a pound. “You’re grading us out of business,” claimed Kelowna grower Brian Witzke, to which Elliot responded that customers demand high quality or they’ll buy their fruit from other producers. Growers also learned about plans for modernizing the packinghouse infrastructure and about plans for a new CanadaGap certification program for the tree fruit industry. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

The first major phase of a $41-million transportation improvement project was completed on time and on budget. Westbank First Nation celebrated the milestone of completing the Westside Road Interchange on Saturday morning. Workers and contractors responsible for the development of the interchange were thanked at the celebration. A smudging ceremony also took place prior to the event. By noon, the interchange was fully operational. “It feels great,” said Evelyn Lube, head of communications for the project. “We had a few challenges in the project. Dealing with the traffic is a big challenge: There are 50,000 vehicles that use Highway 97 (everyday). “For the contractor to be able to get the work done, keep people safe, keep traffic moving, keep the project on budget and on schedule, that’s a real accomplishment.” The entire Westside Road Interchange Project is now 65 per cent complete. The next phase will

focus on developing an underpass at Nancee Way. “The Nancee Way underpass is an important part for Westbank First Nation,” Lube said. “It (will) help to provide access to the commercial areas that Westbank First Nation has planned on the other side of the highway. Having an alternate access to the other side of the highway is going to be really important.” Work on that underpass will begin immediately, she added. “We’ll be decommissioning the temporary intersection that was installed at Nancee Way. So the first set of lights that you see when you leave Kelowna and get on the bridge will be at the Boucherie Road intersection.” The Nancee Way underpass is set to be completed in the summer of 2012. WFN Chief Robert Louie said that completion of the Westside Road Interchange was a “very important milestone.” “When the (underpass) at Nancee Way is complete, we’ll be turning the interchange, in its complete form, over to the

users.” Lube urged drivers to use caution when using the new interchange. “There still is a 60 km/h speed zone so people still need to slow

down and watch for signs. There are a lot of new signs up here, it’s a new area. We just want everybody to use caution and obey the traffic control people,” said Lube.

Poaching problem continues to get worse Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Poaching continues to be a problem in the Kelowna area, with several more reports of illegal moose shot on the Westside this week. Conservation Officer Terry Myroniuk said the open hunting season for young spike fork moose could be closed if there are too many more shootings of out-of-season animals during that time. “The actions of these

few (poachers) may jeopardize the open season,” he warned. In other instances, he said there have been ethical hunters who have accidentally shot an animal that didn’t have the right horn configuration, but if they reported it themselves, they are dealt with much more leniently than if an investigation leads to the culprit. Meat that can be salvaged in such instances is usually donated to the food bank or other local

charity, but at least it isn’t left in the woods and wasted, noted Myroniuk. “It makes me feel sick to think of all these animals shot and just left,” he said. In a couple of instances, other hunters have actually had their binoculars on an animal, realized it was not legal, but have then watched as someone else shot it illegally. Those hunters who saw the shooting have been very helpful in providing information to help

conservation officers investigate. This week there have been reports of a cow moose shot in the Pennask Lake area and another shot off the Elkhart Forest Service Road. A newer model oneton Chev Silverado was seen in the area.

Two men sought for narcotics robbery from pharmacy Mounties are looking for two men who robbed a Glenmore pharmacy Sunday night, and managed to get away with a load of narcotics. “Two masked males entered the Pharmacy on Kane Road and forced the employee, under threat

of violence, to give them prescription narcotics,” said Const. Steve Holmes, of the crime that happened just before 6 p.m., Oct. 29. “The suspects took an undisclosed quantity of opiate narcotic analgesics including mor-

phine, oxycodone and dilaudid—excessive amounts of which can cause serious injury or death.” The men fled the store heading eastbound on foot and were seen getting into a dark mid size sedan. “Police set up a per-

Safe routes to school on path to completion The preliminary design for the Safe Routes to School plan for Glenmore Elementary is now complete. When this pilot project is completed in 2012, students will have safe, offroad ways to walk or roll to school. The project, developed in cooperation with a group of Ecole Glenmore Elementary parents known as the Cool Ways to School Committee, was originally planned to be constructed by December 2011. The revised schedule was necessary because city crews were committed to other projects and some of the Safe Routes work, such as enhanced crosswalks and asphalt works, require warm, dry conditions and could not be completed before the end of October. Also, more time was needed to establish additional rights of way on private properties to complete the projects. The design phase of the project will be final-

ized by March 2012, with construction expected to be complete by August 2012. The neighbourhood around Ecole Glenmore Elementary is surrounded by major roads that impede the movement of pedestrians and cyclists in and out of the area. As traffic has increased in the area, parents have become increasingly concerned about the safety of their children walking to and from school and have become more inclined to drive their kids to school. The Safe Routes to School pilot project will transform the built and social environment to enable children to get to school safely under their own power, by walking, riding their bike or using other modes of active transportation. Visit the Transportation Projects page at kelowna.ca/transportation for more information about the history of this project and the many changes planned for the neighbourhood.

▼ OUR VIEW

One promise best not to be made

ne of the campaign message points for many seeking a seat at the Kelowna council table in this civic election campaign is the need to bring more high paying jobs to our city. If elected to council, the candidates espousing this message say that will be one of their priorities, a campaign promise that sounds impressive but can’t be delivered. Municipal governments can help encourage investors to start

up businesses in our city, but as to how much that investor decides to pay his or her staff, that has nothing do with council. When you look at the current workforce in Kelowna, the emphasis on retail and tourism doesn’t create high paying jobs that one might see in the industrial sector. And we can pretty much bet that any new job-creating business backers won’t consult with city council on how much to pay their employees.

250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575

What we would like to see the next council work toward— no matter who is elected as there are no Liberals or Conservatives elected to council, only fellow residents who are willing to listen, make tough decisions and stand behind them for the betterment of the entire community— is to create or embrace some plausible plan to attract more investment to our city. In the past decade, attempts to create such a plan have fallen flat. As a result, the employment

opportunities for young people are no different now than they were a decade ago. Entrepreneurs have thrived in the Central Okanagan, people creating their own jobs. But what has been absent is a desire for manufacturing related industries to locate here. Perhaps the candidates might share with voters why that hasn’t happened, and what they feel council can do in the next three years that hasn’t been achieved over the last decade.

CNA DIVISION

Member of the British Columbia Press Council

’Zalm joins Hydro conspiracy club around smart meters

he smart meter installation van arrived on my street last week, as BC Hydro’s smart grid project heads toward the halfway mark. This system will not only detect outages, electricity loss and theft, it enables a voluntary time-of-use system where users can get a discount by shifting consumption to low-peak times. You could even set up wind or solar generation that the meter would record and subtract from your bill. But apparently no one wants to

talk about that. Black Press papers continue to run letters with exaggerated or false claims that stoke baseless fear of radio waves. Where is this comTom ing from? I’m grateFletcher ful to the anonymous smart-meter foe who started sending me updates from “Citizens for Safe Technology,” a loose collection of U.S. and Canadian activists that claims to include doctors, lawyers and other professionals. Not much is professional about the Canadian content on their website.

VICTORIA VIEWS

A video starts with a juvenile union parody showing executives plotting to sell BC Hydro to General Electric. Then it moves to an apparently serious interview with Bill Vander Zalm, who expands on his earlier conspiracy theory about the harmonized sales tax being part of a European Union plot for world domination. Vander Zalm asserts that smart meters and appliances create such a powerful surveillance network, “they’ll even know what you’re cooking.” There are those who claim smart meters can tell what channel your TV is on, but this is the first I’ve heard about them detecting whether you’re

having eggs or oatmeal for breakfast. And who might “they” be? “The big picture is of course that we’re moving to globalization,” Vander Zalm intones. “Eventually we’ll be governed out of Brussels, Belgium or someplace like that. And this all ties into that. They can monitor what’s happening anywhere in the world. It’s Big Brother. We’ll be totally controlled.” He stops just short of what I’ll call the Full Tinfoil, a belief that these radio waves control minds directly. Wildlife artist Robert Bateman also makes an ass of himself in a brief video, where he describes hiring someone to come in and detect “hot”

wiring in his Saltspring Island mansion. (A surprising number of selfappointed smart meter experts sell measuring and “shielding” services.) A reader sent me a local newspaper commentary by Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, basically a vague summary of NDP talking points about smart meters being too expensive and a possible health threat. This is interesting, because the City of Nelson owns its own power utility, which started installing wireless meters in 2004. They finished last year, with no protest. I asked Mungall why.

▼ OFF-SHORE CUSTOMER CAN’T BUY

Kelowna businesses can’t make a deal To the editor: How difficult can it be to spend money with Kelowna merchants? I live in Australia but have owned two ski resort condos near Kelowna for almost 9 years. We love visiting the Okanagan. I have been trying to

buy a bundle of new products to update the condos before the coming ski season; • 6 TVs • 5 DVDs • A Playstation system • Sound gear + a TV console and • 4 clock radios

In all well in excess of $5,000 of goods. After eight weeks and dealing with two major outlets in Kelowna long distance, I cannot complete a purchase. No one will take my money! We have a Canadian credit card and we have a

bank account in Kelowna that we can arrange a transfer from but in both cases, despite friendly emails and phone calls including details of pricing, when it comes to closing nothing has come to pass. I had assumed it was better to buy locally rather

than buy on-line and have the goods delivered direct to the address. Is there any Kelowna merchant that deals with consumer electronics and is interested to service an off-shore client? Help! G. Thorley, Sydney, Australia

Defending tree fruits lands man in hot water To the editor: For the last number of years I have written letters to the editor of our local papers here in Kelowna stating my concerns with the tree fruit industry in the Okanagan. In so many of those letters I have encouraged the public to help support B.C. farmers and to buy B.C.grown. I guess that’s what got me in hot water in the first place—that I went public with my letters. If I’m being made a scapegoat and consequently being fired because I questioned BC Tree Fruits for importing Washington

State apples and pears when our local fruit was available, then there is something terribly wrong in this world. Since the age of 18, I have never missed an opportunity to cast my ballot and vote in either a civic, provincial or federal elections and I will continue to do so here in Kelowna on Nov. 19. It’s been over five weeks since I was suspended and fired by my employer after 37 years, and I will continue to fight to get my job re-instated. The chief negotiator and legal representative with the tree fruit industry once called

me “business illiterate” but I can tell you one thing, I am not industry illiterate. I have written to my MP Ron Cannon, MLA Steve Thomson, NDP Leader Adrian Dix and NDP agricultural critic Lana Popham stating my concerns and also calling for an audit or Royal Commission into the state of the tree fruit industry here in B.C. and I will continue to do anything necessary to continue this fight. As I have said numerous times before, I may have lost this battle but the war is far from being over. Jeff Bryde, Kelowna

on the city council that chose a different model, a “drive-by” meter. They broadcast readings every 15 seconds and still need meter readers who no longer have to get out of their trucks. BC Hydro’s meters signal only three or four times a day, but one of the often-repeated false claims about them is that they secretly transmit

much more often with some sort of damaging energy pulses. And yet these granola-loving West Kootenay folks cheerfully endure a 24/7 bombardment of what are essentially brief cell phone signals. Mungall said Nelson council specifically rejected a smart grid system, “because of the cost.” Somehow retaining meter readers saves the city money.

Hetu murder seeking new leads

Hampton Boots

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Christopher Daniel Hetu was found shot dead in a downtown park two years ago this week, prompting police to reissue a plea for any information that could lead to an arrest. At about 2:11 a.m., on Oct. 27, 2009, the 20-yearold Hetu was discovered in Mill Bridge Park, shot dead in what was later assessed to be a homicide. It’s believed he entered the park only an hour earlier on a BMX bike via the Gordon Drive entrance,

which is across from Brookside Avenue. Witnesses have said they heard up to five shots that night. Police removed a gun from somewhere near the scene the day after the shooting, but never revealed if it was the murder weapon. Questions have also arisen about the nature of the crime. Hetu was no stranger to trouble, having been released recently from a Prince George correctional facility, and the park was known for being a drug hangout. Friends and family of Hetu spoke in defence

of their loved one in the days following the crime, pointing out he’d moved to the area for work. What everyone does agree on is that someone is failing to offer information on the crime. “Police strongly believe that there are individuals in Kelowna and Prince George that have information about this murder,” said Sgt. Ann Morrison. “We are asking these individuals to come forward with this information and assist in identifying the person or persons responsible for Hetu’s death.”

The Kelowna RCMP in partnership with Crime Stoppers and CHBC News have produced a re-enactment video that has been aired on CHBC Global News, and is posted on the CrimeStoppers. net website. It was the recipient of the Crime Stoppers International 2011 TV Media Award for excellence in producing a crime re-enactment, although it hasn’t led to any arrests. Police ask that anyone with information relating to the Hetu investigation contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

Curtail from A1 has stitches, black eyes, he’s bruised and has road rash.” There are skid-marks at the site of impact, but police have said they can’t find evidence of speeding, and Salem wasn’t using a crosswalk—it’s a point of view which is merely fanning Clark’s anger and frustration. “It’s (the driver’s) word against his,” she said, noting her son is a high-achiever and honest. “Police can’t prove speeding, and there were no witnesses.” Ultimately, however, she says the issue would never be debated had the

road been made safer through regular police enforcement and some traffic calming measures. “There are so many accidents with pedestrians up here,” she said, noting she never sees police during the busiest hours, when her children are going to and from school. “There are no sidewalks, barely a bike lane and only one crosswalk— that’s it.” Michael Trenn, of the Glenrosa Residents Association, said it’s an issue the community group has been working with for some time. “I’ve lived in Glenrosa for eight years, and it’s probably been (a speeding

zone) for most of that time and, certainly, in the last few years it’s been more prevalent,” said Trenn. “The way Webber Road is designed…it invites speeding. There’s no calming, and it’s not uncommon to see people doing 80 km/h as they exit off Glenrosa.” Webber Road isn’t the only concern in West Kelowna, however. Many of the arterial pathways through the district need to be closely scrutinized, said Mayor Doug Findlater. “We’re looking at all of our roads in terms of a roads and transportation master plan,” Findlater said. “There’s a long-

er term concern about the condition of roads we inherited.” Boucherie and Westlake roads, for example, are just paved wide enough for a car, with no room for pedestrians, while Webber has a bikelane. As the road system gets analyzed, Findlater said enforcement has become the focus. “The No. 1 complaint that I and other (West Kelowna) councillors get is speeding,” he said. “What I’ve asked about after becoming aware of this is that we have a greater police presence in that area.” With extra funds,

three reservists have been brought in to do extra enforcement, particularly related to school zones. “They’re doing their best to address it, but it’s difficult for police to have 24/7 coverage everywhere,” he said. Until the situation is remedied, Clark and others will continue asking for change and Salem will heal from his injuries. The silver lining of the situation at hand, said Clark, is that the community rallied around her when she needed them. “All the support was incredible,” she said. kmichaels@kelownacapmews.com

Your primary concern should be keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Healthy gums will help prevent bone loss and prevent eventual tooth loss. Periodontal (gum) disease is the number one cause of total tooth loss, whereas Occlussal Disease (miss-bite) is the leading cause of tooth wear and tooth height loss. If you do lose teeth or have Occlusal Disease there are options available to you. Dental implants can replace single missing teeth and allow the ȱ ȱ ȱę ǯȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ Ğ ǰȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ missing tooth will fall into the space and fall out as well. If a patient has Occlusal Disease, their bite is incorrect and this will cause excessive wear on the top and sides of the teeth. Eventually, the teeth are so worn down that they are lost. Visiting a dentist for a comprehensive full mouth evaluation of your bite and gums will allow you to create a life long plan to keep your teeth and maintain your youthful appearance.

Stabbing of inmate leaves victim’s family shaken up Tim Petruk

CONTRIBUTOR

The victim of last week’s stabbing at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre will forever be blind in one eye—but his family said it could have been much worse. Michel Desmond Fougere, 21, was stabbed twice just below his left eye while in his cell at KRCC on the afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 20. The Kelowna man successfully underwent brain surgery the following day at Vancouver General Hospital. His sister, Emily Fougere, said the family didn’t even know Michel had been injured until four hours after the attack occurred. “We received a phone call at 6:30 that night,” she said. “They phoned my mom, saying they needed next-of-kin. They said he wasn’t in good condition.” Immediately following the stabbing, police said the victim had suffered injuries that were “not serious.” The following morning, Emily said, she and her mom were driving from Kelowna to Kamloops to visit Michel when the phone rang again. This time, it was a brain surgeon in Vancouver, where Michel had been transferred, unbeknownst to the family. “He said [Michel)was assaulted and in his left eye the attacker had put a pen and a pencil in the same wound,” Emily said. The doctor told the family there were “three pieces (of pencil) lodged in the back of his brain.” “They said he was very lucky he didn’t die,” Emily said. Charged in relation to the stabbing is Michel’s cellmate—24-year-old Mark Lindsay, the son of a former Edmonton police chief and a possible person of interest in the murder of an Alberta woman. Lindsay was charged on Friday, Oct. 21, with one count of aggravated assault in connection to the KRCC stabbing. He was already facing charges of aggravated assault, robbery and possession of a dangerous weapon in relation to the alleged stabbing of an undercover RCMP officer in September. It is believed Lindsay —who, KTW has learned, is a murder suspect— had been the target of an undercover operation prior to the alleged stabbing

cial court on Thursday, Oct. 28 on the new aggravated-assault charge. He is expected to return on the other charges

on Oct. 31. Michel Fougere’s trial is scheduled to begin in Kelowna court on Nov. 8.

MICHEL DESMOND FOUGERE, 21, was stabbed twice just below his left eye while in his cell at KRCC on the afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 20. last month. This past summer, he served 50 days behind bars for another stabbing. In June, he stabbed his girlfriend, 31-year-old Dana Turner, in the head. He had originally been charged with attempted murder in that case but pleaded guilty to a reduced charge. Turner disappeared on Aug. 14—two days after Lindsay was released from prison following his 50-day sentence. Turner’s body was discovered on Oct. 9 in central Alberta. Police believe she was murdered. Emily Fougere said her brother has never been in jail before. He is awaiting trial on a number of property-related charges

out of Kelowna. He had his bail revoked a few weeks ago, Emily said, after he missed a court appearance while working in Alberta. Emily and her mother travelled to Vancouver on the weekend to visit Michel, where he was shackled to a bed at VGH, with two correctional officers standing guard. “He was really upset,” she said. “When he first saw my mom, he burst into tears.” According to Emily, Michel said he and his cellmate were playing Scrabble in their cell in the moments leading up to the stabbing. “He said out of nowhere he attacked him with a pen and a pen-

KRCC feels the pressure Troubles spilling from the closest regional correctional centre are highlighting pressures on the need for expanded services. On Tuesday, Oct. 18, 22-year-old prolific offender Steve Hodgins escaped from the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre while on an inmate work crew. He was apprehended a week later. Two days after the escape, a 21-year-old Kelowna man was blinded in one eye after being stabbed by his cellmate. B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union representative Dean Purdy, said both incidents are a direct result of overcrowding. He said staff-to-inmate ratios at KRCC have more than doubled since 2002. “A short-term solution to the overcrowding is to look at staffing,” Purdy told KTW. “We’d like to see the government take a look at the staff-to-inmate ratios.” Purdy said staff-to-inmate ratios at KRCC are currently 40 to 1. In 2002, they were at 20 to 1.

cil,” she said. “He said he showed no warning signs before. He said (the attacker) was ‘casting black magic’ on him and then he stabbed him.” Lindsay reportedly suffers from mentalhealth issues. Emily said her brother managed to fight off his cellmate’s first attack, but was then struck again. She said Michel was stabbed twice, with both writing utensils hitting the same spot under his left eye. “After that, he had to hit a buzzer and call for help,” she said. “The guy was trying to murder him. He’s just really lucky it’s only his eye that he lost.” Michel was frightened behind bars prior to the stabbing, Emily said. “He was very scared,” she said. “He’s phoned me quite a few times and he’ll just be bawling on the phone. He says, ‘I know what I did was wrong, but I just want to get out of here.’” Emily said the family was told Michel will remain in VGH until early this week, after which he will be transferred temporarily to North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam before being returned to KRCC. “We just hope he can get into protective custody or something,” she said. “We’re all so distraught with what happened.” Doctors have told the Fougeres that Michel is not likely to suffer any

he temperature finally went below freezing at my place. I’m sad the flowers are finished but now leaves will drop and I can swing into compost making mode. My fall composting routine began 25 years ago after moving from wonderful soil on the east bench of Oyama to bad soil in town. The double lot our house had been on was subdivided before we bought it. When the house was moved to new foundations the excavation dirt obliterated beautiful gardens and all the topsoil. Many times as I struggled to make new gardens, I mourned the waste of that good soil being buried instead of scraped aside for reuse. With poor soil, I wanted all the compost I could make. The fastest sources of raw materials were my neighbours’ bagged

grass clippings (I checked to make sure they hadn’t used weed and feed in the previous month) and fallen leaves. That first fall, I drove around the neighbourhood and asked people if I could rake their leaves and haul them away in my trailer. They likely thought I was crazy not to ask to be paid. The next year, I got smart and cruised the back alleys to collect bagged leaves, always checking to make sure they weren’t walnut leaves which are toxic to some plants. At home, I shredded the leaves with the electric mower. This reduced the volume to one third and made them decompose much faster. To make compost, I alternated thin layers of shredded leaves and green waste, such as grass clippings. When I had manure it was also layered in. I made sure the whole pile was moist by adding water frequently during the building process. In the middle of the pile I placed a big ball of worms from an active compost pile (my dad’s). The top was covered with a layer of soil. Since then I have

I’ve discovered I can make wonderful leaf mould with bagged small leaves by just spraying some water in and leaving them over winter. Soaking a pile and tarping it also works but bags or tarp must be black or coloured. Clear plastic doesn’t work. The best combination is leaves that have been shredded when the lawn is mowed. I now shred/mow most of my yard waste before composting, or rake it back onto the garden beds. The

Sizzling CIS debuts for Heat Bulmer back

with Rockets

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

If there was any question of whether UBC Okanagan’s volleyball programs would be prepared for their foray into Canadian Interuniversity Sport competition, then any such concerns have been emphatically laid to rest. The Heat men’s squad came flying out of the gate in the school’s inaugural weekend of Canada West action with a sweep of the University of Winnipeg at the UBCO gym, while the Heat women’s team earned a split of their two matches with the Wesmen. On opening night Friday, in front of a boisterous hometown audience, the Heat men showed few signs of jitters with a solid 3-1 victory (19-25, 25-21, 30-28, 25-20) over Winnipeg. “I think that (home crowd) was huge for us,” said Heat coach Greg Poitras. “We’ve got a lot of things that are sort of going against us with being a new team, being a former college team. We needed more support and that was a huge factor in trying to get the Wesmen rattled on the service line.” Heat veteran Nate Speijer was virtually unstoppable with 28 kills, while Riley McFarland added 13 kills and 11 digs. On Saturday, the Heat completed the sweep with a another 3-1 win over the Wesmen (25-21, 21-25, 25-15, 26-24) . McFarland capped a stellar weekend with 13 kills, with Speijer hitting 16 with a 27 per cent success rate.

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Myrte Schon Winning back-to-back matches in one weekend over the same opponent in Canada West competition is a tall order for any team, making the 2-0 start a very satisfying result for coach Poitras. “Its typical of this league for the team that loses the first night to come out stronger the second night, we faced a lot of adversity because of that,” said Poitras. “Won or lost we learned a lot about ourselves and the competition we will be facing, but I’m pretty happy being 2-0 this early in the season.” The Heat will battle the UBC Thunderbirds this weekend at the Kelowna campus gym, with Friday and Saturday matches beginning at 8 p.m.

HEAT WOMEN The two-

time Canadian collegiate champions UBC Okanagan women’s team wasted little time in showing they belonged a level higher in the CIS, taking down the University of Winnipeg on opening night. In the first ever Canada West regular season match played in Kelowna, the Heat came from behind in three different sets in beating the Wesmen 3-1 (25-20, 26-24, 25-18, 26-24). All-Canadian and four

Heat coach Steve Manuel saw the win as a complete team effort. “We had so many players that stepped up and did great things at great times,” said Heat coach Steve Manuel. “To the people that were out there the whole time, and to the four or five players

that came off the bench in key situations in that last set and got us through, wow.” On Saturday, the Heat looked well on their way to an opening weekend sweep winning the first two games, but Winnipeg battled back for a hardfought five set win (2125, 20-25, 25-21, 25-22, 15-7). “We came out and played outstanding for the better part of the match, and we just couldn’t keep that momentum,” said

Manuel. “Winnipeg’s a very good team, sixth or seventh in the country, but I’m very happy with my team and their efforts tonight.” Schön paced the Heat attack with 14 kills, while Basso added 13. UBC Okanagan will be put to the set this weekend in Canada West action when the Heat hosts the country’s top team, the UBC Thunderbirds. Matches start both Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m.

With both injuries and losses stacking up, the timing couldn’t be much better for the Kelowna Rockets. The Western Hockey League club will welcome Brett Bulmer back after the 6-foot-3 forward was reassigned to the junior ranks this week by the NHL’s Minnesota Wild. “I think it helps a lot of people feel quite a bit better,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “Brett is a very big impact player at our level and to get him back at a time when we’re struggling on the ice and so short of bodies, it should be a nice lift for the guys.” The Wild chose not to play Bulmer past the ninegame mark in the NHL, thereby avoiding having to use up the first year of his three-year entry level contract. With Minnesota, the Prince George native had no goals and three assists in nine games and was averaging 11 minutes of ice time per game. Asked whether he expects the emotional letdown of not sticking with the Wild to hinder Bulmer’s play, Huska said the 19-year-old forward has many reasons not allow his game to falter—including a potential invite to Canada’s world junior team camp. “Minnesota has let him know what they expect of him here, and Brett needs to look at the big picture,” said Huska. “He has a lot to play for

and we expect him to play with a lot of urgency. He has a world junior opportunity in front of him and not a lot of time to impress people. “He needs to be consistent with his effort, play with speed and play with pace, and be the player he’s capable of.” Bulmer is expected at Rockets’ practise on Tuesday and will be in the lineup this weekend when the club hosts the Portland Winterhawks for a doubleheader, Friday and Saturday nights at Prospera Place. The Rockets (5-9-1-0) have just two wins in their last 12 games and currently have six players sidelined with injuries—F Jessey Astles (head), F Spencer Main (upper body), D Myles Bell (lower body), D Kevin Smith (upper body), F Carter Rigby (head), and D Jesse Lees (upper body). whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

SPORTS ▼ HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Owls secure 1st round playoff bye The Kelowna Owls put a lock on the Okanagan AAA Conference regular season title with a 25-7 victory over the Rutland Voodoos Friday in B.C. high school football action. With the win, the Owls (5-0) earn a firstround bye in the playoffs and will host a quarterfinal game on the weekend of Nov. 19. The Owls offensive line was dominant in opening up holes for running back Nathan Brown and Cole Mosychuk. Brown had 95 yards rushing and a touchdown in the game, while Mosychuk tore off 86 yards and also scored. Quarterback Sam Davies added 78 yards passing and 42 yards on the ground. Mosychuk had 10 tackles on defense, while Hudson Andersen added eight. Brooke Blackmore had four tackles and a pick. The Voodoos slip to 0-5 on the season and will miss the playoffs. Rutland will close out 2011 on Friday, 4 p.m. at the Apple Bowl against Salmon Arm. KSS wraps up the regular season this Friday at 6:30 p.m. against Mt. Boucherie.

SALMON ARM 28 MT. BOUCHERIE 12

The Salmon Arm Golds beat the Mt. Boucherie Bears for the second time this season to clinch second spot in the Okanagan AAA Conference. The Golds (3-2) downed the Bears (23) on Friday night at the Apple Bowl as both teams sewed up first-round playoff dates.

…WE JUST CAN’T SEEM TO STEP ON OTHER TEAMS WHEN WE HAVE A CHANCE. Mike Godwin, Bears coach

Boucherie’s Cameron Spence returned the opening kick off 86 yards for a touchdown, but the Golds answered on the ensuing kick off with a major of their own. “Those are the things that seem to be happening to us this year, we just can’t seem to step on other teams when we have a chance,” said Bears coach Mike Godwin. The real backbreaker came late in the first half when the Bears threw an interception with 12

seconds remaining. The Golds capitalized with a one-yard score for a 16-6 halftime lead. “That one killed us,” said Godwin. “Again, key moments in games don’t go our way.” Godwin credited his defense with a strong game, but said fatigue set in after far too many twoand-outs by the offense. Joe Court passed to Spence Hipfner for the Bears’ other touchdown. On defense, Josh Fender had nine tackles, while Jarrett Young posted two sacks. Salmon Arm has the second valley berth and will take on the No. 4 team from the Eastern Conference in the first round of the playoffs on the weekend of Nov. 11 and 12. Boucherie (2-3), the third Okanagan seed, will be in action the same weekend against the No. 3-ranked team from the Western Conference. The Bears will close out the regular season this Friday night, 6:30 at the Apple Bowl against the Owls.

But the Huskies, who were already without standout San Kwasnycia due to injury, also lost Overton, Swaisland and receiver Alex Norman in the third quarter.

Medals for Heat soccer It wasn’t the exact colour the UBC Okanagan women had hoped for, tbut for the second straight year the Heat have landred a provincial championship medal in women’s soccer. The host Heat settled for the PacWest silver tmedal Sunday afternoon at Nonis Field, dropping ta 2-1 overtime decision to Thompson Rivers University in the title game. Wolfpack MVP Alanna Bekkering was the difference as the threeyear veteran from Kamloops scored both TRU goals, including the game winner at the nine-minute mark of the first overtime session. Bekkering put TRU up 1-0 in the 42nd minute in a game where the Heat held the majority of the territorial advantage. After missing several quality scoring chances, the Heat finally broke through in the 88th minute when Lindsey Briggs finished on a scramble to even the game 1-1. Down 2-1 in late in extra time, the Heat had an excellent chance to tie the game again, but Anna Merino’s shot sailed wide just before the final whistle. Wolfpack coach Tom McManus said the Heat gave his team all it could handle. “UBC came out great,” said McManus. “They’re a super team, they pressured us a lot.” Under head coach Claire Paterson, the Heat have improved each and year, making the playoffs two seasons ago and winning bronze last year. In 2011, UBCO lost just once during the regular season, also to TRU. The Heat have no fifth year players on their squad and will lose only Sharon Kersey to graduation. UBC Okanagan placed two players on the tournament all-star team as Hayley Carlson was named best defender for the tournament, while Taylor Sarchet was named best midfielder. The Heat were without leading scorer Kirsten Dodds for the final match. She had been taken to the hospital from an injury during the semi-finals. She was at the match, just not dressed to participate.

THE HEAT MEN celebrate the bronze medal at the PacWest soccer championship Sunday in Kelowna. The T’Wolves pushed back hard and scored twice in the second half, but it was too little, too late as the Heat celebrated a third place showing. All-time leading Heat career goal scorer Thomas Simvkins wrapped up his career at UBC Okanagan and was pleased the way it ended. “It’s nice to have some success in my last year of eligibility,” said Simkins. “The program is heading in the right direction with Dante and Tom at the helm. I’ve made some

great friends that will probably be friends for the rest of my life. It’s really helped school go by.” All three of the team’s fifth year players are from the Westside and graduated from Mount Boucherie Secondary. Simkins is joined by fellow grads, Spencer Brown, the PacWest first team all-star keeper for the Heat, and fifth-year defender Austin Ross. Heat head coach Dante Zanatta is thankful for the contributions of his veterans but is already look-

ing forward to building on this year’s success for next season. “For the graduating players it was wonderful that they could finish off their career with some success,” said Zanatta. “The program in general has taken some work, the game has been good, but we can still be better. It is a process, but it’s a good step. Hopefully next year we’ll play in the gold medal game next year like the women’s team is right now.”

There are many reasons for losing your hair, including: poor nutrition, especially low protein; thyroid disease, which is often related to a wheat allergy; or even a hormonal imbalance – for both men and women. To re grow your own hair you will need to assess and solve each of these health problems, then make new hair cells to grow new hair. All the parts of your body originally grew from stem cells. Until recently as ten years ago it was thought that the only way to regenerate your body with stem cells was go out and get someone else’s stem cells. Advances in medical science have shown that we have dormant stem cells throughout your body, and that treatments that activate those stem cells result in true healing.

The Commission will hold a public meeting on: Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 6 PM City Hall, 1435 Water Street Council Chambers

Stem cell activation is a popular topic with orthopedic doctors. As a member of the American Association of Orthopaedic Medicine I have studied stem cell re activation as a non surgical treatment for degenerated joints like knees. It is an effective treatment for avoiding knee surgery. But, stem cell activation can do so much more. It can regenerate your own hair!

‘Big-time’ athletics arrives on campus Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

After years of patience, anticipation and painstaking preparation, UBC Okanagan’s athletic department is finally tasting the fruits of its labours. The Heat’s inaugural season in Canadian Interuniversity Sport became reality Friday night when the men’s and women’s volleyball squads took to the floor of the Kelowna campus gym against the University of Winnipeg. “It’s very, very exciting,” said an emotional Rob Johnson, UBC Okanagan’s director of athletics. “A lot of people in the community and at the university have worked very hard to make this happen. Now that it’s finally here, to see the crowd we have, the cheering, the atmosphere in here, it’s amazing. “To see our teams out there actually doing it for real, it’s an amazing feeling.” UBC Okanagan athletics was granted probationary membership into

HEAT FANS were out in full force for UBC Okanagan’s debut in Canada West volleyball Friday in Kelowna. the Canada West University Athletic Association in May 2010. But in reality, plans to join the CIS had been in the works on the local campus as far back as 2005-06 when the institution first gained full university status.

Johnson and his staff would work diligently over the next three to four years preparing the department’s initial bid for admittance into Canada West. UBC Okanagan’s first official application in 2009 was met with dis-

appointment when the conference’s membership committee chose to defer their decision on new applicants for one year. But the following spring, UBCO’s ambitions were answered when both the volleyball and basketball programs were given approval to make

the step up from BCCAA to Canada West in the fall of 2011. Johnson is especially happy for the men and women who are wearing Heat colours. “It’s tremendous for our student athletes, it’s great to be able to offer this opportunity to them to compete at the highest level of university sports in Canada,” said Johnson. “Our coaches have done a fantastic job in getting them ready for this step. We couldn’t be happier for everyone who’s been working towards this for such a long time now. “It’s also good for the community, our high schools here, and the young athletes who aspire to play at this level.” The second weekend of Canada West competition will feature the Heat playing host to the UBC Thunderbirds Friday and Saturday in men’s and women’s volleyball. The Heat men’s and women’s basketball teams will make their CIS debuts Nov. 11 at the University of Lethbridge. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Take ‘Jack’ out back When Halloween has come and gone and your jack o’ lantern starts to look more sad than scary, remember, it can be reincarnated. Instead of throwing “jack” into the garbage, consider composting your Halloween pumpkin. “Pumpkins are rich in nitrogen, a necessary part of your composter’s diet,” says regional waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart. “Simply chop up your pumpkin into smaller pieces and toss it into your backyard composter with some fall leaves. It will break down nicely to become a nutrient rich soil amendment you can put on your garden or flower beds next spring.” It is estimated that 25,000, or about

nine tonnes of pumpkins will be disposed of this fall. If you don’t compost, you can include your pumpkin in your next yard waste pick up. Simply place your pumpkin in your yard waste cart with the green lid, and it will be picked up on your regular yard waste collection day. Check your Living Greener Calendar for yard waste pickup schedules in your area. You can also take your pumpkin to Glenmore Landfill or the Westside Residential Waste Disposal facility free of charge, along with grass, leaves, pine needles, and pruning’s up to 20 centimeters (8 inches) in diameter.

any times I have talked about the prevalence of depression. Of all the psychiatric conditions, depression and anxiety are by far the most common and major depression is thought to affect roughly eight per cent of the population at some point in life. Compare that with the less than one per cent of people who experience schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and it seems a very large number. So what is it about depression that allows it to continue existing in our species at such a high prevalence? We often think of depression as similar to an illness in any other major organ—simply a malfunction that needs to be treated. Of course, treatment is important and helps many people in their ability to function on a daily basis, but we still don’t know why the illness continues to occur in such abundance. Researchers have been studying this question for some time. One theory involves the purpose or value of rumination—the process of pondering and thinking

mination as it can lead to fixating on flaws or problems and thus extend negative thoughts. According to proponents of this theory of depression, this kind of thinking is not necessarily bad but may be a useful skill for us to learn from our mistakes or sort through complex problems. Some go so far as to say depression is a way of forcing the mind to focus on its problems. A couple of studies have found some benefits to this kind of analytical thinking. One found that individuals with depression seem better able to make complex decisions because they are more willing to spend the time to thoroughly analyze the options and information put before them. Certainly, there have been and are today many great thinkers, artists and poets whose melancholy has undoubtedly informed and inspired their craft. I have talked about this in past columns. At the same time, research has also shown individuals with major depression experience cognitive impairments in other areas and imaging

studies have shown cumulative damage to some areas of the brain with each episode of depression experienced. Perhaps an argument can be made that depression has some helpful element to it when it is mild —however, anyone who has experienced a severe depression can tell you the benefits are far outweighed in these circumstances. A severely depressed person who cannot be motivated to get out of bed or who is experiencing a psychotic episode is not going to be a more effective problem solver. I don’t believe treating depression will eliminate a person’s ability for complex or analytical thought —but it will help in getting back to enjoying life. At Okanagan Clinical Trials, we currently have an ongoing study of an investigational medication to possibly treat depression. If you are an adult experiencing depression, you may be eligible.

readership GETS results. In the 6 years that Abaco Health has been in business, I have tried all the different methods of advertising to reach out to Kelowna. I have used most radio stations, the internet, ﬂyers and of course the Capital News. I have learned that the most effective method of reaching people in Kelowna iss through the Kelowna Capital News. Getting value for money is really important to me, and I have found other means of advertising more expensive when looking at return on investment. Advertising with the Capital News on a regular basis allows me to get Abaco n Health’s name out there under people’s noses, so that when they decide they want to shop for low prices on vitamins, supplements, organic foods or natural cosmetics/skincare, people will consider Abaco Health ﬁrst. Many of our customers now drive right across town, past is our competitors to shop with us. I believe the reason for this is in part due to the low prices and knowledgeable service we offer, but mainly because of the broad exposure across Kelowna that the Capital News has given Abaco Health.

2011 NOTICE OF ELECTION BY VOTING REGIONAL DISTRICT OF CENTRAL OKANAGAN

▼ BUSINESS BRIEFS

Green kudos for Best Western hotel The Best Western Hotel in Kelowna has been selected by Interior Health as the government’s health agency’s preferred hotel recommendation in Kelowna for incoming business travel on account of their green initiatives. Interior Health launched a project in May 2011 to find the greenest hotel in Kelowna. Hotel submissions were scored against criteria that pertained to the environmental considerations taken by the hotel, commitment to enhancing the community with green initiatives, and effort to reduce their overall ecological footprint. “I am thrilled with this recognition for three reasons, said Greg Salloum, CEO of the Best Wester Plus Kelowna Hotel & Suites. “First, it recognizes the achievements of our staff and owners to push the sustainability envelope; second, it is the first time a major employer in the valley has recommended our hotel based on these

achievements. “Finally, it will lay down the gauntlet to other hoteliers to step up to the plate and show the world that accommodations, whether addressing business travels or the tourism sector can and should be more sustainable in our fragile ecosystem.” The designation from Interior Health as Greenest Hotel in Kelowna will remain in effect until September 2014.

Employers can’t rely on social media to be “problematic.” While acknowledging the employer may not need the candidate’s consent to use it for reasonable purposes relating to recruiting or to establishing an employment relationship, the Privacy Commissioner has iden-

Understanding a board director’s role with a company A company doing business for profit is incorporated under the B.C. Company Act. According to this legislation, a company needs to have at least one director, unless it is a public company in which case it needs three.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS:

not-for-profit enterprise, it is incorporated under the provincial Society Act. Although five persons are required to form a society, the society only needs three directors to operate. If the number of directors fall below three for more than six months,

then those two or less directors become personally liable for every debt of the society incurred after those initial six months and for as long as the number of directors remains less than the required three. The rules for directors under the Society Act have been changed recently to resemble the rules and requirements under the Company Act. For example, if you are a director of a profit orientated operation, you may be required to purchase shares in that company. It is thought that by having a financial stake in the company, you may then be more likely to carry out your duties of managing the company finances. This option exists in the Society Act. Paragraph 30 states: “A society may require a director or officer to give the security it considers sufficient for the faithful discharge of duties.” On the other hand paragraph 27 in the Society’s Act also requires that: “A director of a so-

ciety who is, directly or indirectly, interested in a proposed contract or transaction with the society must disclose fully and promptly the nature and extent of the interest to each of the other directors.” What seems to happen in small not-for-profit boards is that one or two persons are credited with the creation of the society and because of their significant investment into the affairs of the society, financial or otherwise, are not directors on the board because of the possible conflict of interest that could be perceived. This may also happen in an owner managed profit based company that has a board. The reality with these boards is that those persons with the significant investment also have significant influence on the board members and in a lot of cases recommend board members who will support or promote their interests. If the board does happen to make a decision that they do not agree with, they can refuse to

follow it and then the board is forced to make the decision that will appease these “influential outsider(s)” or owner managers. So then the question is what is the purpose of the board? How is the risk to the board members increased? The most obvious risk is the risk that due to the shortsightedness of the influential outsider(s), the society/company becomes insolvent and the board members may become liable for the debts of the society/company personally. If there are employees in the society/company, the employees may be willing to work without a salary, but then the board members could become personally liable for the payment of these unpaid wages. The board members also become personally liable for the statutory deductions required for these wages. Some of the duties of directors are to: 1) Provide strategic guidance for the organization to ensure that the or-

ganization has direction that will help it to face the future opportunities and challenges and that any projects under consideration fall within the confines of the organization’s constitution. 2) Ensure that the organization has competent, trained and committed senior management. 3) Ensure that sound financial practices and policies are followed that would include the selection of the annual auditor and the approval of the financial statements. 4) Ensure that the needs of all stakeholders are met, not just a particular group or director that is the loudest. 5) Ensure that the organization is complying with its legal obligations such as government reporting. 6) Ensure that each board member has a defined duty and responsibility. If a person is a director of any company, it would be prudent for the company to purchase insurance for the benefit of the director against any personal liability that may be incurred. It would also be a good idea for each director to be thoroughly familiar with the applicable Company Act and Society Act as well as the constitution and by-laws that were set up upon incorporation. It would be the duty of the board to provide all this documentation to the new directors.

BUSINESS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS

Valley in need of a strategy to propel business sector forward

or many months, I have experienced both joy and concern at the myriad of questions posed to me by Central Okanagan residents about the future for industrial and economic development for the Westside. Is there a light at the end of that tunnel? We have become rather overwhelmed these past several years with the new large retailers appearing in every direction we turn, leaving us wondering what’s next on West Kelowna’s horizon? What a challenge we say to ourselves over the fresh cup of coffee in yet another similar shop competing with the several others dotting the landscape while we decide which of the several drugstores shall we honour with our prescription for backache? West Kelowna people keep asking me the same series of questions about why do we have so many of one category of retail/service and not others which we convince ourselves we need in the present and future development of the Westside. The newspapers are continually plugged with text about the myriad of concerns over who said what to whom, the chess game of land swaps, and developers wondering if they will ever be able to come out ahead in the utilization of the land bank they so zealously accumulated when times were different. We tell ourselves that we are “open for business,” as a Saskatchewan premier used to tell me when I lived there. Yet, the strongest developmental leadership that I witness in the five years I have adopted the Okanagan as our home has been Westbank First Nations. With pride and an aggressive business acumen, the WFN has shown the masses how they can “get er’ done.” With the Okanagan Entrepreneurship Society,

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young we are constantly questioned about the avenues for potential venture opportunities by budding entrepreneurs who are both starting out for their first foray into the entrepreneurial world and those who have decided to leave the workforce and venture out for themselves as the self-employed which vast numbers of people are doing in our amazing region. What our society has begun, something we are very excited about, is to launch an initiative which is designed to bring together many of the community leaders across the region to examine the following premise: What great work has been completed and in place, what shortfalls are clearly evident and how we can collaborate to create positive socio-economic change? This mission, we expect, will result in the first Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurship Strategy and Action Plan that we will present to the population in late January, 2012, to be explored for implementation through appropriate community partnerships. The response from all has been wonderful. I can’t help but feel the West Kelowna side of the lake will undoubtedly benefit from this encouraging reaction to prompting a spirit of entrepreneurship among entrepreneurs and community leaders alike. With this spirit of tomorrow in mind, the upcoming municipal elections will see some new faces with returning faces around council tables. I tell myself that I will remain optimistic about the continuing positive contribution that all citizenry might expect toward the development of

an entrepreneurial culture in the Okanagan Valley. We need a gameplan, folks, that will see councils up and down the valley tout the virtues of the entrepreneurial way and come together to bring about investment and economic development that will confirm provincial and national status as the Okanagan being truly one of the most attractive and entrepreneur-friendly regions of British Columbia and, indeed, Canada.

The recent study handed to me by the Canadian Youth Business Foundation organization was with reference to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business naming B.C. as the Number One province to do business and Kelowna as Number 5 entrepreneurial city in Canada. A pretty amazing endorsement of our region and our province, being judged by others in our nation and coming up

strong. But let me end today’s column by posing a complementary question: I am completely baffled why the current provincial government seems to believe that a provincial entrepreneurship policy and an accompanying strategy are not important to the people of “the most beautiful place on earth?” I know this because five successive small business ministers have told me so, coupled with a

sprinkling of MLAs. Perhaps one day someone in Victoria will “get it,” realize that entrepreneurship is the lifeblood of Canada and that our wonderful province will then come out of the shadows with a astoundingly creative strategy that will set our hearts afire. But until if and when that occurs, I would conclude with this challenge—-if community leaders and private enterprise in West Kelowna

can actually see the benefit of working together towards an entrepreneurially culture horizon, being mindful of soaring lease costs, what a wonderful world this would be. In the meantime, keep the faith. I am. Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership coach, consultant and educator and founder, Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagletyoung@shaw.ca

Energy efficient lighting saves money and electricity Why spend more on electricity if there are convenient ways to save such as switching to energy ef-

ficient Energy Star CFLs and LEDs? And, when FortisBC electric customers purchase these before

Nov. 30, they will qualify for rebates. “With the winter heating season upon us, many

of our customers want to manage their energy costs and conservation is an ideal way to do this,” said Tom Loski, vice-president, customer service, FortisBC. A simple step like changing light bulbs can help families save money

over time and as more customers make the switch, have a positive impact on the environment.” Compact fluorescents (CFLs) have come a long way over the past few years, now available in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and even dimma-

ble options. They use up to 75 per cent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. To help customers make the switch, FortisBC will currently pay 50 per cent of the cost up to $2.50 for each qualified, Energy Star rated special-

ty CFL. Another option is Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). These have traditionally been thought of as an energy-efficient option for decorative outdoor lighting. LEDs are now available for both home and office and use up to 95 per cent less electricity than incandescent bulbs. FortisBC will cover 30 per cent of the cost of Energy Star rated LED bulbs, up to $15 for bulbs less than 10 watts and up to $10 for bulbs 10 watts and higher. The lighting rebates are automatically applied to qualified Energy Star lighting purchased from Kelowna Home Depot, Save-On-Foods, Overwaitea, London Drugs, Rona and Costco stores. Customers who purchase from a different retailer can submit their receipts with the completed rebate application form (found in-store or online) to the FortisBC PowerSense Program, P.O.

ADULT ANATOLIAN SHEPHERD/ BEAGLE X NEUTERED MALE

Charlie aka “Chicken Charlie” is actually that, a little under socialized. Charlie lived in a quiet home and did not get out and experience much. That is why he is a little timid when he encounters a new situation. Being young means he will socialize quickly. He has been fostered by some of the staff at the Kelowna shelter and we know that he is a great little dog. He is not completely housebroken though, his previous owner used puppy pads. We have had success with using puppy diapers and crate training. We would be happy to explain how this all works, feel free to ask.

Tango is a really wonderful dog who was unfortunately kept as an outside dog, which want not an ideal situation for him. He thrives on human interaction and needs lots of stimulation. He is smart and will learn to adapt very quickly. Tango loves to play so the learning process can be a fun one. He would be a good match for a family with high energy levels and lots of time to devote to making him the best dog he can be.

▼ DEPRESSION

Taking charge of our own lives T here are many causes for depression in a

senior It is sad to see seniors dealing with loneliness and depression. I spoke recently with Dr. Garrett Swetlikoff, the past president of the B.C. Naturopathic Association, about seniors and depression. He is the medical director of the Kelowna Naturopathic Clinic and is a strong believer in science-based holistic health care. Swetlikoff posed this premise to me: When children fall and hurt themselves; their mothers will put a bandage on the wounds and then hug and kiss the children. The children are then smiling and on their way again. Which was the healing point? The bandage or the hug and kiss? Depression is a symptom, he suggests, as it is a holistic problem that needs a holistic solution. It could be due to brain chemistry but it also might be due to other factors such as the lack of a support system. Perhaps a spouse has died. Maybe they are not eating properly or exercising. Seniors need to remain active, have an interest in their lives and find their inner child.

We are all just older children. To discover the source of the depression, seniors need to be heard and someone needs to take the Sharen time to hear them. Marteny Our current medical system does not allow for this. Loneliness is a major cause of depression as seniors become prisoners in their homes. They need to stop looking out the window or watching television and get active. They only need to make one friend to experience enjoyment again. Their nutrition habits also need to be examined. Are they even eating? Are they capable of preparing meals? Is medication upsetting their stomachs causing them to not want to eat? They must be eating properly for medication to work effectively. What about medication? Is the senior over-medicated? Are all of the doctors aware of all of the medication the seniors are taking? Is a medication or a combination of medications causing tiredness? Have the fears of the seniors been discussed? Many have a fear of death. Or dying with pain. Or being alone when they die. Some have financial fears. Se-

SENIORS’ CONCERNS

niors should be encouraged to discuss their fears with someone they trust. The fears might not go away but at least they have been able to share them. Is there a situation from the past that the seniors have not dealt withfamily abuse? Abortion? Divorce? Anger towards someone or themselves? Is there a secret that needs to be told? If seniors can speak about their situations without judgment, perhaps those situations can be resolved. If some of the above questions are asked of the senior, perhaps some of the depression can be lifted. Many families have tried to get seniors involved with activities, but if they refuse there comes a point there is nothing more that families can do. Ultimately, it is the seniors who have to make the change. They have to want to change. They need to realize that they have more power than they think and they have to take it back. They need to stop worrying about upsetting their families or doctors. Sharen Marteny is a services consultant for seniors in Kelowna.

CAPITAL NEWS

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen Nat's unquenchable Although milk is best with cookies, a glass of wine or beer is a delightful match with dinner, and few know that as well as Natalie MacLean, Canada’s internationally-recognized, award-winning wine writer, who will be in Kelowna Nov. 8 to launch her new book Unquenchable: a tipsy quest for the world’s best bargain wines. A hallmark of Nat’s writing is its casual and irreverent style and her fun approach to wine appreciation—which can be so stodgy from the pens of some wine writers. Like her best-selling book Red, White and Drunk All Over, this one is a very easy and entertaining read, with a mind-boggling amount of valuable information about the wines and the people behind good wines from countries such as Australia, Italy, Africa, France and Germany. She’s concentrated on good value in wines, which is appealing to far more of us than one about the expensive wines would be, and she includes suggestions of wine and food pairings at the end of each section, which really hits home with me. Watch for her ‘Field notes from a wine cheapskate’ at the end of each chapter, along with best-value wines, food pairings and other resources about the region. However, I confess to being disappointed to see she’s touched on the wines of the Niagara area, but totally omitted any mention of those from the Okanagan. Perhaps she hasn’t had a visit here yet. If that’s the case, plan to come out and meet her at a wine tasting with appetizers at the B.C. Wine Museum in the historic Laurel Packinghouse on Ellis Street in downtown Kelowna Tues., Nov. 8, 6 to 8 p.m., and suggest some of your favourite local wines she should try. Your ticket to this food, wine and entertainment event includes a signed copy of her book, so it’s well worth the price of admission, at $50. Tickets are available at Mosaic Books and the VQA Wine Shop at the Laurel. You can also pick up copies of my new book, Jude’s Kitchen in the wine shop or at Mosaic Books while you’re there, for lots more familyfriendly recipes featuring local, seasonal foods from B.C.

Beer-braised Beef Roast

Simple, but a favourite combination of flavours. This could be made on top of the stove if you’re going to be around for a few hours, or make it up in the morning—preferably of ingredients you’ve prepared the night before—and presto, the slow cooker will do the work and have dinner waiting for you when you get home. Serve over noodles or steamed potatoes. Beer is an obvious pairing. 2 lb. (1 kg) beef braising roast flour, salt and pepper 2 large onions 4 cloves of garlic 6 carrots 2 ribs celery 12 whole mushrooms 2 sprigs rosemary 1 1/2 c. (355 ml) beer 1 tsp. (5 ml) brown sugar

Dredge beef chuck or other braising roast

in flour (whole wheat is good), seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Heat enough oil over medium heat to coat the bottom of a Dutch oven or heavy pot, and saute chopped onions until limp, but not brown. Remove onions and add enough oil to thinly cover the bottom of the pot, and brown the beef roast on all sides. Return onions to the pot, along with minced or crushed garlic, chopped carrots, sliced celery and whole mushrooms. Stir in beer, sugar and rosemary. A dark beer gives this a stronger, very pleasant flavour, but any beer will do. Bring it back to bubbling, then lower heat, cover and simmer for two hours or so, or put it into a 325 F. oven for the same time. Alternatively, you could follow all the steps until the ‘cover and simmer’ part, dump it all into the crock pot or slow cooker and cook on low, covered the whole time, for 6-8 hours. Serves six.

JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Cuban Beef Stew Known as Picadillo, this light-flavoured stew, with variations, is traditional fare in such countries as Cuba and in Latin American countries, although ground meat is often used. The ingredients are unusual, but the flavour is excellent. This could be a bit difficult to pair a wine with, but try the 2010 Mission Hill Family Estate Reserve Chardonnay with its tropical fruit flavours and hint of orange blossom and citrus to match the orange background in this dish. 1 1/2 lb. (.7 kg) stewing beef 1 large onion 2 cloves of garlic 1 c. (250 ml) chopped tomatoes 1 red pepper 1/3 c. (75 ml) green olives drizzle of oil 1 1/2 c. (325 ml) orange juice 1 tsp. (5 ml) cumin 1 tsp. (5 ml) dried oregano 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt

3/4 c. (175 ml) raisins 2 oranges Chop stew beef into one-inch cubes, chop onion and mince garlic. Chop tomatoes and slice red pepper and olives. In a Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of oil and saute onion until soft. Push to one side and add meat, browning on all sides. Add garlic and stir in onion again. Add orange juice and salt and bring to bubbling. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until meat is almost tender. Add remaining ingredients, except oranges, and simmer for another half hour or so. Stir cornstarch into cold water in a tiny bowl and add to bubbling stew, stirring until it thickens. Section oranges and use to garnish the stew when serving. Serves 4-6.
