Hugh Gloster of the first to announce last week it would cancel the afternoon recess in order to meet the demand. Lunch-hour supervision, Gloster explained, is handled by CUPE support staff, and will therefore go on as per usual, but the district determined it would be impossible to get administrative employees— ranging from secretaries to the directors of various programs—out to every elementary school midday to spell off the usual teacher supervision time without causing severe problems at the district administration level. As such, recess has been cancelled and schools will be closing 15 minutes earlier at the ele-

Federation is the union representing teachers provincially, while there are still individual member organizations at each school district handling local negotiations. The BCTF’s local organization, the Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association, negotiates smaller, non-financial matters with the Central Okanagan School District, while the BCTF handles money and matters relating to money at a bargaining table with the BC Public School Employers’ Association. This division of negotiations is among the items up for debate, however; with teachers asking for more local control. A letter to parents will be going home today outlining exactly what is happening, and a copy is already available on the Central Okanagan School District’s web site. The letter states this first phase of job action will not include picket lines, but will see staff withdrawing from staff meetings, professional development, delivering

Back to school will look a little different today for Central Okanagan Superintendent of Schools Hugh Gloster. As the doors open on the first day of classes, Gloster will be on site stick-handling morning supervision and personally seeing to it that at least one school of children make it into their teachers’ care safely. “We will have people at every elementary school and I’ll be out there too,” said Gloster late last week as he tried to explain how the school district has decided to handle outside class supervision under teachers strike conditions.

Teachers will stop everything from collecting money for field trips to filing report cards and attending meetings until the union and the government have signed a contract, meaning some of the usual extras might not get done; although the union has been very clear they are trying to avoid impacting the students. “Teachers will be preparing and teaching lessons mindful of the individual needs of their students and they will be assessing and evaluating progress and keeping marks,” BCTF president Susan Lambert wrote in an opinion column published last week in the Vancouver Sun. “They’ll be helping students who need assistance, and of course they’ll be available in case of emergencies,” Lambert said.

Government invests in fun Eight middle schools in the Okanagan receive $50,000 each for playgrounds. Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Recess, when it returns, will soon be a lot more interesting for eight public schools in the Okanagan. Premier Christy Clark has announced $8 million will go towards 44 new playgrounds and playground upgrades for schools across B.C. “Learning continues outside the classroom and playgrounds are a venue where kids come together and learn from each other through play,” said Clark.

West Kelowna will each receive $50,000 for a new playground. “These new playgrounds will be a great way to enhance the school experience for all students in Kelowna,” said Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart. KLO Middle School, Springvalley Middle School, Dr. Knox Middle School and Rutland Middle School are the Kelowna schools identified as not having a playground; therefore, they get $50,000 each for new playgrounds as well. “Playgrounds are not just a resource for students at these schools; they are an important part of our communities,” said Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson. Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick was also pleased with the
announcement. “Encouraging students to be active and healthy is important: Playgrounds help achieve that,” said Letnick. McNicoll Park Middle School and Skaha Lake Middle School are the Penticton schools to benefit from the funding. “These playgrounds will be an essential addition to the schools in Penticton,” said Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff. The $8 million will come over two years and is being funded to ensure that every public elementary and middle school, province-wide, has a playground for their students. Currently there are 1,347 public elementary and middle schools in B.C. Forty-four of those have been identified as having no playground equipment at all.

WATER DAMAGE: Part II Water damage can come from a variety of sources: storms, flooding, broken water pipes and lines, leaking washing machines, and more. This can lead to mould and odour problems, and worse. If left unmitigated, water damage can eventually cause structural damage, which can entail significant costs to repair and can even affect a home’s value.
Prevention is the first defense against water damage. Here are some basics on preventing water damage and its effects: Another common source of water leaks is the fridge icemaker or dishwasher supply lines; these should be checked as well. Be aware household waterline and sewerage piping leakage can occur inside the walls or ceilings and may be impossible to detect visually. It’s possible damage has already occurred. Gutters and downspouts should be checked to ensure that water is flowing away from the home’s structure and foundation. Make any adjustments, and check the drainage and any leaks using water from a garden hose. Water leak detectors can be installed at floor level near water heaters and interior air conditioning units. Simple, inexpensive wireless models are widely available and will sound an alarm when water is detected on the floor near these appliances.
Q.
What are the benefits of advertising my business or services in “Ask the Experts”?
Newspapers are used to plan purchases, either for an immediate need or a future purchase. While the economy might have changed the way Canadians shop, one thing that hasn’t changed is the tool that they use to make their shopping decisions. Most adults identify newspapers as the way they use to plan shopping or make purchasing decisions. Secondly, newspapers ads are WELCOMED! In other media, ads are actively avoided. Newspaper is one of the few types of media where readers indicate that they want the ads. Newspapers score higher than T.V., Radio and the Internet in terms of Canadians. Lastly, newspaper readers take action, over 10 million Canadians read a newspaper on an average weekday. But they don’t just read the paper, they are moved to action based on the advertising contained in it.

NEWS ▼ CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
HST impact—after the fact Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce is proactively gathering information about impact the HST referendum has had on its members, just in case. “There’s no point picking apart the what ifs because (the referendum) is done. But going forward, if we’re given any opportunity for input, we’ll be there and ready with our members’ ideas,” said Caroline Grover, CEO of the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce. The chamber put the survey online on Aug. 31. According to Grover, there were 44 respondents within the first two hours. “Lots of people are sharing their gut reactions, feelings and frustrations,” said Grover. “I’d love to give an answer in one sentence on their responses but I can’t because they’re so diverse.” The brief HST impact
survey asks what type of business the members belong to, the name of the business, the estimated short-term (six month) financial impact in dollars, consumer reactions and suggestions to the government. Grover said that the majority stated they felt that their costs, with the loss of HST, will increase. “Many said that they felt uncertain or they felt that there would be an increase to the costs of operating with regards to PST.” According to Grover, a few—primarily in the service industry—were relieved to see the Harmonized Sales Tax go. Despite the varying opinions on losing the HST, Grover said that all respondents had a common concern. “One of the things that people said very clearly to us was that they (want) speed in putting a system back in place.” Grover said that many have looked to the prov-
incial government for information, but it is actually the federal government which first needs to put in legislation to enable the PST to occur again. “The provincial and federal governments will be meeting very (soon) to look to do what they can to expedite it.” The chamber has already taken member concerns to the Premier Christy Clark and jobs minister Pat Bell through the B.C. Chamber within days of the referendum results. Grover felt that the survey will help gain concrete numbers and issues to reinforce concerns. The Chamber’s next move is preparation. “We’ll be issuing a statement regarding (our next) steps going forward,” she said. “The government will likely look for some input on the changes they want to implement and that’s an opportunity for us to report the thoughts and concerns of businesses.”

“It’s not a peak during the summer and then falling right off.

Overpass nears completion Gear down for students The first step of the $41-million transportation improvement of Westside Road is nearing completion. Evelyn Lube, project communications officer, said that the West-
side Road interchange project at Westside Road and Highway 97 in West Kelowna, is running on schedule. “The opening of the interchange is on schedule for Oct. 31,” said Lube.
After that is complete, work will begin on the underpass just up the highway at Nancee Way. “The temporary intersection that is at Nancee Way right now will be decommissioned. We’ll
begin construction on that underpass right away. “The entire project, which includes the overpass and the Nancee Way underpass, should be completed by the end of next summer.”
Kelowna RCMP traffic enforcement will be in full force today as kids from the area head back to school. According to Sgt. Ann Morrison, the RCMP will be focusing their efforts on school zones, paying
close attention to speed, driver distractions and crosswalks. “Police, school administrators and staff are reminding all motorists to abide by the rules of the road. Pay extra attention to the speed zones and the
heavy pedestrian traffic in school zone areas,” said Morrison. Central Okanagan Traffic Services plan on continuing to focus their efforts on school zones for the remainder of the week as well.

Kelowna driver dead after accident A young Kelowna man is dead after the truck he was driving crossed the centre line on Highway 63 in Alberta, and smashed into oncoming traffic. According to police in Alberta, at approximately 6:15 a.m. on Sept. 1 the Wood Buffalo RCMP were called to a twovehicle head-on collision 58 kilometers north of Fort McMurray. When Mounties arrived on scene, they determined that a northbound GMC Yukon, with three occupants inside, crossed the center line and collided head-on with a southbound Mercury Marquis being driven by a lone occupant. The lone occupant of the Mercury Marquis, was a 54-year-old man from Opal, Alberta. He died im-
mediately as a result of injuries suffered in the collision. The driver of the GMC Yukon, a 19-year-old male from Kelowna, was transported to the Northern Lights Regional Hospital with life-threatening injuries fro which he later died. The two passengers in the GMC Yukon sustained minor injuries. RCMP were not initially able to determine why the GMC Yukon crossed the center line. Alcohol and drugs are not believed to be contributing factors. The RCMP in Alberta will continue to investigate. At press deadline, police were not releasing further details about the deceased or survivors.

A cougar sighting in the Lower Mission area of Kelowna Saturday morning brought out the police and conservation officers to look for the animal. Around 10:30 a.m. police received a call of a cougar sighting in the 600-block residential area of Thorneloe Road and sent officers to assist conservation officers. A resident reported seeing a large, tan coloured cat, with a long tail, which was between thigh and hip height. The resident reported seeing the cat five metres behind his fence in an open area where a path-
way allows people to travel between Barnaby Road and Thorneloe Road. This route is often used by students during the school year. Kelowna RCMP members tried to track the cougar but their efforts were unsuccessful. The police are asking residents of the area to be vigilante. Students are reminded to use caution while walking to school and small pets should be kept inside. Police are asking that any future sighting of the animal be reported to the them or the conservation office at 1-877-9527277.

Locals hit the trail to help girls Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS
SIGNING OFF‌After 11 1/2 years as host of CBC’s Kelowna-based Daybreak South morning radio show, Marion Barschel signed off for the last time Friday. She has become the producer of the show and the new host is Chris Walker.
As little as two weeks worth of labour and an amazing opportunity to try trekking in Nepal will help keep hundreds of girls out of slavery, according to a Kelowna-based human rights organization. The Inter-cultural Women’s Education Network has teamed with Edgecomb Builders on a unique build-a-classroom project and is looking for people willing to invest a little time and effort to help keep women and girls in Nepal out of bonded labour. By helping expand a school in the Dang Province of Nepal, the local builder and IWEN are hoping to keep more young girls, who might
otherwise be turned over to wealthy landowners to work to support their families, in school and vocational training. “The organization pays their school fees and finds a sponsor to help buy a pig or a goat or some other method of making money,� said Jacqui Conroy, executive director of the Inter-cultural Women’s Education Network. Founded in 2005, the small non-profit operates out of Kelowna Community Resources, offering simple educational programs for women who have immigrated to the area and need to get started on language training or take a basic program, like FoodSafe, to help land a first job. Overseas, its work is
more complex. Bonded labour is one of the least known forms of slavery in the world. It generally involves a worker trying to pay off a basic debt, like the financing for seeds to grow a crop, which they never manage to pay because their wage amounts to so little. In Nepal, Tharu families are often so poor they may not even have said debt; a parent may hand over a daughter for as little as $50 a year into a life of labour in order to feed the rest of their family. Offering another means of earning money and the education to understand their options gives can drastically change a family’s prospects. IWEN has already been working in the area

Both parties have decided they need to expand the physical school structure, Conroy said, in order for their effort to continue to grow.

As such, a trip is being organized for next April for those interested in helping to travel overseas and build additional space. Volunteers will need to come up with between $2500 and $3000 to pay their way and the group will raise $20,000 for the project. Following the work, there will be a one to two-week trek to the summit of Kalapattar in the Himalayan mountains.

Relationships with your bank
O
ne of life’s necessities is a bank account. Most of us, when we started working, were required to set up a bank account so that we could get paid. Some people were fortunate enough to have had parents or grandparents who set up a savings plan at birth. The message that was always given is that you open a bank account and you build up a history with that bank so that when the time comes and you need to borrow funds, you have some history behind you and perhaps some trust and loyalty built up. Where I grew up the lending application was always done by the branch manager and over the years things have evolved and we now have loans managers, personal financial managers, investment managers and small business managers. So how do you pick a bank? In my experience I just went to the same bank that my parents went to. Then when I moved away, I needed to find a new bank because at that time there weren’t any ATM machines and you always needed to transfer your bank account to a branch that you were sure to deal with. I sort of miss that because then you get to know the people in the branch. Now I do most of my banking on-line and don’t have the same interaction. So my way of picking a bank was to pick the same bank of the company that I was working for at the time because then it made it easier to get direct deposit, because at that time also you could only deposit into an ac-
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka count at the same bank or branch. Since the ATM machines became more popular there was less of a need to move bank accounts around and I have had my account in the same bank and branch since 1993, however, the branch is several miles away and I don’t do any actual banking there. When I worked at a bank, I can remember having to balance the ATM machines and what a nightmare that was because the machines just couldn’t handle all the different problems that came up and a lot of transactions got rejected. But of course now, after some 20 years in operation, all those bugs have been worked out. The other thing that has changed in the banking system is the loans department. Most banks now centralize their lending. That means that the policies come from one main branch and are distributed to and carried out by the lending staff in the other branches. So if the main bank decides to implement a recessionary policy in Vancouver, the loan criteria and ranking classifications are set up for Vancouver businesses and may or may not be relevant for the business climate in Kelowna. In order to get over that inequity, the banks have now implemented

people to be account managers. There are personal account managers and small business account managers. The idea is that these managers will be familiar with the business climate and economical situation in the rural areas such as Kelowna and will present the loan and their recommendation to the head office for final approval. So now we have sort of come full circle. Before, your financial future depended on one person—the bank manager and now it also depends on one person—the account manager. As in every profession, there are good account managers and there are some not so good account managers. So it becomes very important to have a good relationship with your account manager. What also happens is that staff in banks move around from position to position through the bank and eventually people will retire. So you may have had a good relationship with an account manager in the past, but now you may not be so pleased with the new one and it may be time for a change. How do you know if it’s time for a change? Some indicators might be that when you ask a ques-
tion, that the question is ignored; when you have asked the question several times and find that you are still not being understood; when you are told that you need to close up shop and go work for a ‘bigger firm’ in your industry or when you are told that you need to take your business to another bank or credit union. How do you know if you have a great relationship with an account manager? Well pretty much the opposite of above. You are listened too and the account manager really appears to be working with you to solve your issues. The loyalty that you have given your bank really means something. You receive referrals from your account manager. You receive a thank you from your account manager for people you have referred, or perhaps you are taken out for lunch. Your account manager keeps you informed on a periodic basis of things that are coming up in the bank, such as new financing plans, or savings plans that may help your cash flow situation.

Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair
ful entrepreneurs will be far more reliant on technology than their current counterparts. They will be more connected in a mobile world and will market their gods and services in ways only imagined today. It will blur the lines between the virtual and physical worlds as the hype surrounding today’s technology becomes tomorrow’s reality. A study produced in 2007 in the U.S. made me sit up and take notice of how technology will propel and transform the entrepreneurial and small business sector in our world. It will, it appears, offer us three key milestones to embrace—its changing façade, a dramatic rise of personal business and a dramatic emergence of entrepreneurship education. Entrepreneurs in the next decade will be far more diverse than their predecessors in age, origin and gender. These shifts in ownership will create new unforeseen opportunities for many, and will change
the face of our nation and even the global economy as we know it today. A new breed of entrepreneur will emerge. Entrepreneurs will no longer come predominantly from the middle of the age spectrum but, instead from the edges. People nearing retirement and their own children just entering the job market will become the most entrepreneurial generation ever. Here is an interesting item that, frankly, doesn’t really surprise me at all. Entrepreneurship will reflect an upswing in the number of females entering the field. The so-called “glass ceiling” that has limited women’s corporate career paths will send more women to the small business sector. I, for one, rejoice in this aspect as nationally, our statistics have, for a number of years, highlighted womens’ successes in business start-ups. I found this projection quite informative as I am have been interacting with three immigrant entrepreneurs over the past month
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young who are becoming residents in the Okanagan. But, the projection offers that immigrant entrepreneurs will help drive a new wave of globalization as there are those thoughtproviders who believe this new category of Canadian entrepreneur is the fastestgrowing segment of small business ownership today. Time will tell on this point but I have developed an understanding of how this can occur. For example, immigrants are increasingly turning to entrepreneurship to steer around traditional barriers of entry to the workplace. Although they bring education, professional experience and a developed network to their adopted Canadian homeland, often their professional assets do not always translate into value
across cultural boundaries. However, immigrant entrepreneurs frequently have contacts in their native countries as well as Canada. This provides them with the opportunity to create entrepreneurial ventures that link markets. In his book, The World Is Flat, Thomas Friedman claims we’ve entered a new phase of globalization in that we are well into a newfound power of individuals to collaborate and compete globally. With cross-border skills and contacts, immigrants with small businesses are leveraging the connective technologies to exploit links across the globe. That presents pretty good reasoning for the surge to this author. Also, and this point fuelled an earlier column, whether out of need or personal fulfillment, baby boomers will be healthy enough and productive enough to participate in the workforce well See Young A9

NATURAL
Lawyer suspended for lack of cooperation A Law Society hearing panel has ordered the suspension of Kelowna lawyer Doug Welder for 45 days for what it calls his “deliberate and prolonged” failure to cooperate with Law Society of B.C. investigators during an investigation. Welder was found to have failed to respond to questions in letters from the society and to respond to a request to provide details of bank accounts.
These failures amounted to professional misconduct and Welder will not be permitted to practice law during the suspension, which takes effect Oct. 1. The law society says it is mandated to protect the public interest and will continue to pursue ongoing investigations. To that end, if a lawyer does not cooperate with an investigation, he or she may face disciplinary action, as in this case,
said the society in a news release. The ongoing investigation by the society involves an allegation that Welder participated in a fraudulent investment scheme. The society says the probe has faced obstacles because of Welder’s earlier failure to cooperate. It noted that Welder has now complied with the society’s requests for information.
There are three reports related to the Welder decision and all are available in the hearing reports section of the law society’s web site. The Law Society of British Columbia regulates the more than 10,000 lawyers in the province, setting and enforcing standards of professional conduct that ensure the public is well-served by a competent, honourable legal profession.
▼ YOUNG
Flexibility sought in workplace Young from A8 past traditional retirement ages. Most will not want to work in traditional jobs. They will look for more flexible and part-time work arrangements. They will zero in on personal ventures and at times “boomerang” back to their previous employers as contractors or consultants. They will join firms aimed at social issues and build on hobbies that may evolve into entrepreneurial new ventures. And, there will be, I am sure, a taste of what we might call “accidental” entrepreneurs who are those folks who leave closing factories and mills and are left with two choices: leave the area or start a business. Often these workers
turn to contract work but if there is not a market for their acquired skills, they may turn to the world of entrepreneurship. Once again, I find myself wanting to stand on the soapbox of entrepreneurial rhetoric and share these tidbits of insight into our changing world but let me conclude with this thought. The demographics of entrepreneurship are rapidly changing. Small businesses were traditionally started by noncorporate, middle-aged, white males. But recent studies throughout North America show that aging baby boomers, Generation Y, women and immigrants, using changing technologies are joining the ranks to start small and personal ventures at increasingly rates.

Avoiding Knee Surgery
H
ave you been told that you need to have knee surgery or your knees replaced? Are you reluctant to get surgery but you don’t know what else to do? Being cautious is always a good approach, especially with your health. If you want safe and effective alternatives to knee surgery I can help. If you are considering knee surgery you are not alone. According to Stats Canada in 2006 to 2007 38,400 knee replacement operations were performed. While fairly common, knee surgery is not a straight forward solution to knee pain. Here are eight problems with knee surgery.
O
ne: wait times can be many months to many years, and waiting for relief is not a good plan. Two: operating on the meniscus, a shock absorber inside the knee, speeds up arthritic degeneration of the knee. Three: you can’t stop at just one… Knee replacements usually last for ten years; then you will need another. Each knee replacement takes away another section of your leg bones, and you only have so much. So delaying your first knee replacement helps you to avoid being wheelchair bound in later life. Four: surgically replacing a knee joint will not solve the pain from all the connective tissue around the joint. You will still have to solve the problem of healing all the ligaments around the knee that were originally injured or stretched in knee surgery. Five: some surgeons fail to align the leg length in knee surgery. This leads to unequal leg lengths and can contribute to back and neck pain in the future. Six: with all the infections going around our hospitals today avoiding surgery will help you avoid complications from infection. Seven: the normal recovery time from knee surgery is many months. Avoiding surgery means avoiding this off time. Eight: reactions to general anesthetic. The general anesthetic used in knee replacement surgery has a number of risks associated with it. Avoiding surgery means you will avoid those potential complications. I have effective knee pain treatments that will allow you to avoid knee surgery. I offer Prolotherapy and Prolozone treatments which are non surgical medical procedures that effectively stimulate the regeneration of cartilage, ligaments, and other connective tissues in and around a knee. For an appointment to discuss your knee problems, and how to solve them without surgery, call my office.

Students are leverage in talks
A
s thousands of B.C. elementary, middle and high school students head back to class today, they do so under a cloud. The example being set for them by the adults who oversee their education is nothing short of a poor one. For months the government, through the organization that represents school districts across this province and the union that represents teachers in B.C., have had the opportunity
to negotiate a new contract but have failed to do so. During the summer both sides showed little enthusiasm for even trying to negotiate. Sure, there was lots of public talk but little of it was actually directed at the other side across a negotiating table. As a result, students are heading back to school with a teachers’ strike hanging over their heads. Teachers will still teach but a raft of other duties, all important to the proper func-

tioning of the elementary and secondary education system in this province, will go wanting. Both sides point the finger of blame at the other for the impasse. But once again, it is the kids who are caught in the middle of a fight between adults. The kids are suffering because the grown-ups can’t get their act together. If the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association were to receive a report card like
their students, the mark would have to be an F. Ironically, reports cards are one of the duties teachers are refusing to do as part of this first phase of job action. Both sides may claim to be right but no matter which side is correct, what’s important is they get back to the table and hammer out a deal so the young people who are will benefit from an education can do so. Both sides also claim to have students’ best interests at heart.

Mayor exercises right to paint herself into a corner I
don’t know if the local pro-choice society celebrates a week of choice or not. And if it does, I’ve never heard it ask Kelowna’s mayor to issue a proclamation. But if it does, Sharon Shepherd is going to have a hard time figuring out just what to say this year. That’s because she has already issued a proclamation for Right To Life Week that supports the “protection” of the unborn. It’s not that the mayor can’t proclaim both weeks, it’s just that the wording of the Right to Life Week proclamation will make the city look like its contradicting itself if it sup-

The mayor quietly If the city supports issued the Right to Life the protection of the week proclamation unborn, how can it also last week and it reads, support the right to in part: “…it is the inAlistair choose to terminate a tention of this proclaWaters pregnancy? mation to promote reThis is the not the spect and protection to first time proclamaall human life, especially the aged, the tions have tripped up a Kelowna mayhandicapped and the unborn.” or. So, if the pro-choice folks come During his time as mayor, Walter knocking and ask for a proclamation, Gray unilaterally changed a proclawhat will it have to say to keep the mation for Gay Pride Day in Kelowcity from looking like it is speaking, na to Gay Day and wound up on the
losing side of a human rights tribunal complaint. As a result, Gray stopped issuing proclamations all together. The practice did not return until shortly after Shepherd took over as mayor. Municipalities are routinely asked to proclaim every sort of day, week and month. Normally, they are dealt with as a matter of course and nobody raises an eyebrow. But, depending on the subject, they can be a minefield of public controversy. Response this newspaper has received to a story about the proclamation has shown support for both sides in the ever-contentious battle
over abortion. But some opponents of the mayor’s action have bizarrely threatened boycotts of totally unrelated products simply because they are from Kelowna, as a protest. That’s just wrong. The mayor may want to give the proclamations she issues a little more thought next year if she is re-elected. In the meantime, she should hope the pro-choicers don’t ask for a proclamation of their own. Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS ▼ YELLOW BRICK ROAD
Clark likened to Dorothy’s companions To the editor: If you have ever watched the movie The Wizard of Oz, I think you will agree Christy Clark has a lot in common with Dorothy’s three companions. Since being elected to the position of premier, by the members of the B.C. Liberal Party, Clark has demonstrated the deficiencies that bedevilled the Tin Man, the Scare-
crow and the Cowardly Lion. During those first heady days of becoming B.C.’s premier, Clark spoke confidently about her intention to have an early election to obtain a direct mandate from British Columbians. Before, during and immediately after the HST referendum, she dithered and dithered before finally declar-
ing the people of B.C. had told her they did not want an election. Like the Tin Man at the beginning of the movie, Christy must lack a heart; otherwise she would nurture the truth. Like the Scarecrow, she must lack a brain; otherwise she would have the intelligence to tell a more credible lie. And like the Lion, she
must lack courage; otherwise she would have the guts to admit the polls indicated she would lose an early election. Clark and her ragtag Liberal companions are now committed to slogging their way down The Yellow Brick Road until 2013. The truth about Clark and her band of fellow travellers will be revealed as they struggle
to deal with the inevitable political and financial surprises that await them. Christy, the time has come to turn off the photoop camera lights and get to work. During your upcoming adventures, you just might discover your heart, your brain and your courage. Lloyd Atkins, Vernon
Clark needs to move more quickly on HST, election To the editor: Previously Christy Clark said that if the people didn’t support her on the HST, she would call a provincial election after the referendum. Well, she lost. But is she going to keep her word? No! She is such a poor loser she has reneged on her promise and says she will hold the
election in 2013. Not only that, but, like a spoiled child she seeks to punish us by saying it will take 19 months to remove the HST. It didn’t take anywhere near that long to implement it. And it doesn’t take anywhere near that long to disassemble it. A mere 24 hours of an-
nouncements in the media is all it will take to tell purchasers they no longer need to pay HST, and businesses they no longer need to collect it. At the same time they tell all businesses that any HST collected, and not filed, to date, needs to be submitted by Sept. 30. Also at the same time they notify all employ-
ees of the HST that all rebates must be sent out by Oct. 31. And finally the same announcement informs the government employees that they will be laid off by Nov. 30 which gives them time to; clean out their offices, wipe all their hard drives, send all their desks and office equipment to the store
room and apply for transfer to another department. All told, a lot less than 19 months. Then, the people will see that Christy is an honourable person who believes in democracy and maybe, just maybe, she will win the next election, whenever it is held. Lee A. Wood Burnaby
Government finances ‘a zero-sum game’ To the editor: Visiting Kelowna on Labour Day weekend I read the Capital News with interest. Kudos to letter writer John O. Powell for the kind of insights about the fallout from the HST
loss, er, “win”—insights that often are absent from Lower Mainland media. Fundamentally government finances are a zero-sum game: More outgo than income spells nasty results for us beleaguered taxpayers due to polit-
icians who would rather spend than save. The fiscal crises across the Eurozone and in the USA herald ugly times ahead if B.C.’s profligate MLAs don’t grind down our public debt aggressively. Meanwhile, the
$65,000 personal debt each B.C. household carries—much of it at credit card rates between 20 and 27 per cent or more—signals another “underwater” exercise about to happen here, not unlike the subprime mortgage farrago

Speeders should take a stroll once in a while To the editor: Canada, and perhaps even global society, should ignite a resounding honk of driving approval to West Kelowna for traffic enforcement measures that, prayerfully, would spark a nationwide and even wider revolution in forcibly retracting far too many speeding drivers’ feet off the gasoline pedal. So, too, honk loudly praising West Kelowna resident Ron Barnard’s letter happily endorsing West Kelowna council’s action of seven months beefing up RCMP enforcement on speeders resulting in issuance of hundreds of violation tickets (Nabbing Speeders Overdue, Aug. 26 Capital News). Wow! Sure would be great if the slowdown could speed (only influentially, of course) across the bridge to Kelowna, especially, and anywhere worldwide where
lead-footed drivers uncaringly pooh-pooh accusations they may just be contributing to accelerating nervous breakdowns to pedestrians and bicyclists crossing legally even in button-lighted crosswalks. Oh well, why should speeders care if pedestrians and cyclists even become an endangered species, especially those elderly of slow or crippled gait? After all, isn’t saving a millisecond of precious driving time far more important? Anyone observing Kelowna’s maniacal speedway circus objectively must concede the urgency of a super-sized overhaul of driver attitudes generally toward respectful responsibility—a sharp Uturn from the seemingly more prevalent world-revolves-around-me mentality. Everyone, in fact, could thrive more har-
moniously and healthfully were such words as “frantic,” “hurried,” and the like abolished from our dictionaries, motoring behaviour and lifestyles. No, I’m not “the pot calling the kettle black” even if I’m a 77-year-old Detroit-born Canadian proud of Henry Ford’s and Motown’s contribution of putting the world on wheels. But, a motor car isn’t a free ticket to free-wheeling insanity. Not having driven for several years, and now as a much-travelled daily pedestrian, cyclist, and bus rider, that’s the overall picture I see enlarging around Kelowna. As a friend wisely suggests, perhaps road and highway safety could benefit enormously from a hefty increase in construction of speed bumps on major thoroughfares. Who knows, could even pump some sense into those infantile jerks
so peevish as to gun their gas pedals, roaring off exasperated because they had agonizingly awaited an unbearable 15 seconds for a pedestrian in a lighted crosswalk! For them, this healthy advice—save yourself, ultimately, from perhaps a heart attack, or ulcers, or any number of other
nerve-wrecking ailments. T-a-a-a-a- k-k-k-e-e-e a deep, deep, deep breath and e-x-x-x-h-a-a-ale ever so s-l-l-l-ow-l-l-ly. And go walking frequently admiring God’s wondrous world. Pause, and smell the rose. Wally Dennison, Kelowna

NEWS ▼ B.C.
Tough sales tax choices remain after defeat of HST vote
B
ill Vander Zalm’s most fantastic claim after the defeat of the harmonized sales tax was that B.C. could go back to the old provincial sales tax in six weeks if the government wanted to. Remember, this is the guy who once figured he could run an election campaign out of his car. He also promised to cut the price of beer, and then once elected, brought in a property purchase tax instead, without consultation. But I digress. Vander Zalm’s typically simplistic analysis soon gave rise to another conspiracy theory.
VICTORIA VIEWS
Tom Fletcher That’s the one that holds that the B.C. Liberals are dragging their feet on reinstating the old provincial sales tax so they can rake in added revenue for another 18 months. That would help repay the federal government $1.6 billion for the transition fund that helped B.C. institute the HST. The finance ministry
provided some details to get a better sense of the task ahead. First, there are 70,000 businesses in B.C. that switched their accounting and point-of-sale systems to the HST. It’s not likely that they kept notes, hardware and software on hand in anticipation of having to switch back. Then there are the roughly 1,000 businesses that start up each month in B.C. Assuming most of that continues, by the time the federal and provincial governments undo the HST in March 2013, there will be thousands of

businesses that have no experience dealing with the PST. They’re in for an unpleasant surprise. Here’s one example. Smart Tax Alliance co-chair Mike Jagger got involved in the effort to defend the HST because of his experience running a security company in Vancouver. Due to the ambiguous nature of the PST rules, he got expert advice on how to pay the tax. Three different experts gave him three different answers. You have probably heard by now that after the rejection of the HST by 55 per cent of voters, the PST is to be reinstated as it was before July 2010. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon vowed, “I
can assure British Columbians, PST will not be applied to such items as restaurant meals, bikes and gym memberships—just as it was before the HST was introduced in B.C.”
‘‘
LIQUOR TAXES ALSO WENT DOWN UNDER HST, FROM A 10-PER-CENT PROVINCIAL TAX TO SEVEN PER CENT.
That sounds pretty definitive. But I’ve learned in the last two years that there is seldom a simple answer with sales taxes. For instance, should B.C. reduce tobacco taxes by seven per cent?
Unless you’re a smoker, you probably didn’t notice that the HST raised the price of cigarettes by that amount. Tobacco was PST exempt, with the province historically having chosen to impose a separate “sin tax” instead. Liquor taxes also went down under HST, from a 10-per-cent provincial tax to seven per cent. The B.C. government increased the Liquor Distribution Branch markup to hold onto the revenue, billing it as a policy move so as not to encourage drinking. The hotel room tax also went down by a point under HST. Should that be raised? These are policy decisions that still must be made, with the province still in deficit.
• A correction to last week’s column: I referred to a PST reduction for Toyota Prius hybrids, suggesting it would be restored. In fact this tax break had a sunset clause, and would have expired in March 2011 in any case. B.C.’s 2008 “green budget” brought in a series of PST incentives for fuel-efficient vehicles, from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on how carbonefficient they were. PST exemptions were also extended to Energy Star appliances. The centerpiece of that budget was the carbon tax.

Air cadets looking for new recruits The Kelowna air cadet program is looking for new recruits. The program, for boys and girls aged 12 to 18 who dream flying with the Royal Canadian Air Force has 3,600 youths in 52 squadrons across B.C. When the Kelowna
Air Cadets holds its first training night Sept. 7 at First Lutheran Christian School at 4091 Lakeshore Rd., commanding officer Capt. Nancy Landsiedel expects to see about 60 cadets on parade. She also hopes to see 20 to 30 new faces in the crowd, com-
ing out to see for themselves that there’s more to the air cadet program than marching, polishing shoes and shining uniform brass. “The more cadets we have the more things and activities we can do,” Landsiedel said.
As the main attraction of the program is the lure of flight, the flight familiarization program ensures cadets won’t be disappointed. “Each cadet will get the opportunity to fly in a glider during the year,” Landsiedel said.

Get a quality walker and use it properly SENIORS’ CONCERNS
Sharen Marteny walker fits your height. Stand up as straight as possible between the handlebars of the frame with your knees relaxed and your feet flat on the floor. Your wrists should be at the same height as the handles of the walker. If your wrists are not in line with the handles then adjust the frame up or down by unscrewing the knobs on both sides of the handlebars. When turning to sit down on the walker for a rest always lock the brakes first. Rotate between the handle bars putting one hand over the other hand while still holding onto
the walker. Sit down carefully. When sitting on the walker sit up straight with you feet flat on the floor. Do not put all of your weight against the back bar. This is designed to be a safety bar and not a backrest. The new style wheels are foam filled and last longer than air filled wheels. A good wheel will be six inches in diameter and one inch wide. A quality walker will have a loop brake cable on both sides of the frame that connects from the wheel to the handle. It will also have a detachable padded back safety bar and a well cushioned seat that are designed for taking a rest while out for a walk. Remember that walkers are an aid for walking. They are not designed for or
meant to be a replacement for wheelchairs. Check the walker on a regular basis to ensure that the wheels are clean and spinning and rotating freely.
‘‘
A QUALITY WALKER WILL HAVE A LOOP BRAKE CABLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRAME THAT CONNECTS FROM THE WHEEL TO THE HANDLE
The wheel bearing should also roll freely. The tires should be firm with no flat spots. The brakes should be tested to ensure that they lock firmly against the tires.
The tires should not move when the brakes are against them. If the tires can move then the brake cable may need to be tightened or replaced. Purchase the best walker that you can afford. It will cost you less in the long run as it will last longer and require less repairs and maintenance. Look for one that has a warranty and purchase it from a store that can supply replacement parts. If you purchase a quality walker and properly maintain it then it will serve you well for many years. (Thank you to Ed Stang at CanAm Mobility for sharing his knowledge on walkers.)

Canine first aid course
cannot tell you how much I enjoyed my childhood in a neighbourhood that was just on the outskirts of town, with hardworking loving parents who gave me just enough leash to explore my surroundings safely. We lived on 10 acres of land on Ethel Street, right across from where the Cottonwoods Extended Care Centre is now located, with plenty of old buildings, gullies, fields and woods to keep us occupied. But the lure of adventure took me and my friends beyond the boundaries to several wonderful places within minutes of our property. We had many choices and I don’t recall now just how we planned each day during that wonderful time as to where we would wander. But wander we did, to places like Mill Creek where a short piece of fishing line on a willow pole and a No. 8 hook facilitated a fishing expedition for brook trout. For bait we used a wad of dough made from a piece of white bread. If we weren’t at the creek we were following the irrigation ditch through the cherry orchard to the flume that fed it with cool clear water from Mission Creek. We had our choice of cow pastures or fields with herds of sheep to claim as our own and
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett right across the street from our property was a forest of cottonwood trees with an array of shrubby plants as undergrowth along with an assortment of ground covers. We were familiar with every inch of those magical places and the inhabitants such as the quail, ring-necked pheasants and marmots were our friends although they were not quite as sure about that as we were. It was our little world and very seldom would my parents or any other adult enter. But they must have, at some time, had a peek, as I remember overhearing a conversation my mom and dad were having in the kitchen one evening. Dad was describing the network of paths and trails we had created through the wooded areas and how we probably followed some of the same paths he and his friends carved out of the same woods 35 years earlier when he first came to Kelowna in 1922 as a young boy himself. Now, many years later, my fondness for a garden path or trail into
a fly fishing lake is most likely initiated from my childhood experiences wandering through the forest fields and glens of the neighbourhood where I grew up. I cannot resist the lure of a path if one is even so much as hinted and this is often reflected in my landscape designs. Garden paths can range from simple delineations of trodden ground to paving stone walkways and an array of possibilities in between.
‘‘
IT WAS OUR LITTLE WORLD AND VERY SELDOM WOULD MY PARENTS OR ANY OTHER ADULT ENTER IT.
So, whether you have a small property or large, whether your landscape is complete or you are in the planning stage, I recommend considering a garden path and garden elements that will provide visual and physical pleasure for you and your visitors for years to come. And trust me, I’m not leading you down the garden path. Don Burnett is a local garden expert who hosts a show on AM 1150 Saturdays from 8 to 10 a.m.

A Kelowna woman, Cathy Lehtonen, is the first person in the Okanagan to be awarded the designation of Dogsafe Canine First Aid authorized instructor. Dogsafe Canine First Aid courses teach dog owners and dog professionals what to do in a canine emergency. “I’ve had a great response and classes are filling up fast,” said Lehtonen. “I’m committed to teaching dog lovers how to help their dogs, so I have invested in the best curriculum and training equipment available, including life-like canine manikins.” Lehtonen emphasizes that Dogsafe courses are not a replacement for veterinary care but teach students what to do when an incident occurs and until veterinary care can be reached. Lehtonen, who has a master’s degree in education, is an elementary school teacher by day. “My interest in Dogsafe began when I hired a dog walker. She had Dogsafe certification and that was the main reason why I chose her to take care of my precious dogs,” said Lehtonen. “I then took the course myself and learned everything from taking vital signs to canine CPR to how to respond to a dog in a hot car situation, unfortunately that is something I’ve used a lot this summer,” she said. “My passion for teaching and my love of dogs came together, and I am thrilled to be a Dogsafe authorized instructor.” Besides handling emergencies, Lehtonen also teaches people how to recognize warning signs that might prompt them to see a veterinarian sooner than later. And she won’t be teaching alone because her two dogs, Randall, a yellow Labrador, and Midge, a pug, will have new roles as demonstration dogs. “Randall and Midge and I have been practising all summer and they’re ready for their new jobs,” jokes Lehtonen.

Fascinating new look at the IPE ▼ VALLEY
Deer cull criticized The B.C. SPCA has put Penticton council’s proposed deer cull in its sights in a position paper that calls for a targeted approach to addressing local ungulate over-population. Simon St-Laurent, volunteer chairman for the SPCA’s South Okanagan Similkameen community council, said the organization is hoping to work with the city, business and residents to humanely decrease the deer population. “Province-wide, many communities are obviously faced with the same issues. It would be nice in Penticton to maybe do something different,” StLaurent said. “We have had some successes in other communities across the province, although not as much as I would like. “In Penticton it’s a little bit different this year because of the weather. I just wanted to make sure that council and the public was aware of our position statement and alternatives.” Council began grappling with the issue this summer over a notice of motion calling on the city to take immediate action to reduce the population of deer in the city to avoid conflicts. It agreed in early August to strike an urban deer management committee, that would generate recommendations for council on its options. The SPCA stressed, in its position paper released last week, that it would prefer council use as many non-lethal means as possible to address urban deer issues, which would result in long-term prevention versus short-term solutions. Relocation isn’t among those options, as studies have shown moving mature deer can result in high mortality from injuries during the move and low survival rates when released in unfamiliar territories. Contraception is also not available. Penticton Western
The cowboy look is usually the prevailing fashion trend at the Interior Provincial Exhibition, but this year a new fad might be taking over. Beautifully crafted and colourful headpieces can be seen at-
tached to women’s hair all over the IPE. “The trend has definitely been growing since the royal wedding. It really blew up,” said Kate McFarland, fascinator fabricator.
McFarland was asked by the IPE one month ago to set up a fascinator booth at the fair. They wanted help with their goal of setting a Guinness World Record for the most people wearing fascinators at one
event. Typical fascinators can include just about anything, but most commonly feathers, lace, leaves, flowers and ribbon. “We’re really focusing on the flowers,” said McFarland, trying to keep
with the 112th IPE theme ‘Come for a bloomin’ good time.’ McFarland, born and raised in Vernon, has been making fascinators for about a year, but has been crafting for much longer.
“I have a booth at the farmer’s market on Mondays and Thursdays,” she said, and once the market closes in October she plans to hit the winter craft fair circuit. Vernon Morningstar

IN NEW YORK, THE SHARKS DON’T ATTACK THE SWIMMERS – THE SWIMMERS ATTACK THE SHARKS.
The certification was initially upheld by a lower court and now by the Ontario Divisional Court. It seems that this class action has teeth. There are over 5,000 employees making claims against Scotiabank by way of this class action,

by the Ontario Divisional Court. A class of employees is claiming a cool $300 million in overtime pay. The initial hurdle in the advancement of a class action involves having the action certified. In essence, the class of plaintiffs must convince the court that their claims are sufficiently similar in nature that they can be litigated as a group rather than individually.
ter of the certification of the class action will proceed to the Ontario Court of Appeal, where Scotiabank will take a third crack at killing it off. As with the great white, which destroyed the Orca before finally meeting its demise (“Smile, you son-ofa…”), that may be difficult. So far, Scotiabank’s boat has been too small – for that task. Incidentally, if you’re wondering what really happens when New Yorkers encounter a shark, an incident near Coney Island a few years ago provided the answer. The appearance of a shark circling off the New York beach caused a panic and resulted in a bloodthirsty attack. The attack, however, was on the shark. It seems that a group of swimmers swarmed the beast, grabbing it and beating it about the head. A lifeguard leaped into action, rescuing the shark from the angry mob and backstroking it out to sea where he released it. So, in New York, the sharks don’t attack the swimmers—the swimmers attack the sharks. Maybe Scotiabank could find a New York lawyer.

led by representative plaintiff Cindy Fulawka. The Divisional Court’s decision seems to clear the way for the merits of the claims to be litigated. The employees are asserting that Scotiabank’s policies and practices set up a catch 22—overtime hours would only be preapproved by management when there was a pressing need to work overtime, but when there was a pressing need to work overtime, there was no opportunity to seek preapproval. The effect, according to the employees, was that it was difficult to claim and recover overtime compensation and, as a result, they regularly worked overtime for which they were not appropriately paid. When there are 5,000 people banding together to advance a class action, it doesn’t take too long for the damages to add up to an astronomical figure like $300 million. Other employers shouldn’t dismiss this as a unique situation because these potential liabilities can really sneak up on you. For instance, in a single year, 100 employees earning $20 per hour, each working an average of four hours per week of unpaid overtime, would accumulate a total claim in the range of $625,000.

few weeks ago, I happened to read a story about a class action lawsuit against Scotiabank and the classic movie, Jaws, on the same day. I couldn’t help thinking there were some parallels between these stories. In Jaws, actor Roy Scheider played Chief Brody, a New York cop transplanted to Amity Island. Brody faced an unanticipated crisis in that fictional vacation spot on the fourth of July when a rogue shark began feasting on unsuspecting swimmers. Brody, who happened to be afraid of the water, ended up aboard the Orca hunting the brute along with actors Robert Shaw (as Quint) and Richard Dreyfuss (as Hooper). In reality, though they don’t know it initially, the great white was hunting them (nasty creatures, it seems, once you’ve got them angry). Assigned the lackey’s task of scooping chum into the water to attract the beast, Brody is the first to encounter it close up. Stunned, he backs into the Orca’s cabin and mutters to Quint, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” That’s what came to mind when I read about the class action against Scotiabank for unpaid overtime being certified

Now, Cyclepath is taking their expertise to the snow. Beginning this fall they will offer winter sports gear for downhill skiing. Downhill skis, bindings, boots, poles and accessories will begin to arrive by the end of September, so when Kelowna winter rolls in, Cyclepath will be ready.

In light of becoming a top ski shop in Kelowna, they have reflected the change in their brand— now known as Cyclepath Cycle & Snow. “Even though we have not yet sold skis inshop, we are not new to skiing. I have been a ski-
er for more than 25 years and every one of our staff is into winter outdoor activities,� said owner Garry Norkum, “We understand this industry and are ready to meet the needs of Kelowna.� Key partnerships with quality brands have helped.

the pleasure of seeing our customers grow and experience the joys that downhill skiing has to offer.�

Hamilton prepares for next pro step in Oilers’ system Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
A stellar last season of junior hockey and a hardworking summer now behind him, Curtis Hamilton is poised to take the next step. With a three-year entry level pro contract under his belt, the Kelowna minor product has his sights firmly set on a full-time job in the system of the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers. Hamilton, 19, will head to Edmonton Thursday, then continue on to Penticton this weekend for the 2011 Young Stars Tournament, featuring the top young prospects from the Oilers, Vancouver Canucks, Winnipeg Jets, San Joe Sharks and Calgary Flames organizations. While the chance of cracking the big club’s roster in his rookie season is slim, the 6-foot-2, 207-pound forward plans to hold nothing back at Oilers’ camp. A more likely destination for Hamilton is the club’s American Hockey League affiliate in Okla-
homa City. “I’m going in with the mindset of doing my best and making the Oilers, but with the good young players they have, the signings, and the way things have shaped up there, the odds are against me,” said Hamilton, the Oilers second-round choice, 48th overall, in the 2010 NHL entry draft. “If I end up in Oklahoma City, then that’s a good step for me. It’s an awesome program, they have a lot of good players down there too.

utes he brings to the ice. “Obviously he’s a big guy, we like his size…he’s very smart hockey player, and a very good penalty killer too,” said Mike Sillinger, the Oilers director of player personnel. “He had a real good year coming back from the injury problems. Sometimes with a shoulder injury like that a guy can be a little gun-shy. But going into corners and using his size, he adapted very well and
stayed healthy all year. “He knows how to play his role,” added Sillinger, “nothing flashy, he just does lots of things well and he’s intelligent.” Sillinger said the American Hockey League would likely be the best place for Hamilton’s early development as the young forward reaches for his long-term goal of playing with the Oilers. “I’d like to see him in Oklahoma City,” Sillinger said of Hamilton. “We had lot of young guys there last year and halfway through the season a bunch of our 20-year-old players were getting lots of ice time and really developed well. “There Curtis might be able to play a pretty decent role, get some power play time, kill penalties and just grow as a player. Young players have to make that transition and the AHL is a great place to do it. People sometimes downplay the league but it’s a really good league, the next big thing to the NHL.” Practicing and working out over the summer
in Kelowna with a number of NHL and AHL players, Hamilton learned a little bit more about the level of commitment it takes to not only make it, but to stay in the pro ranks. “Every summer youj have to get a little stronger,” said Hamilton, who turns 20 on Dec. 4. “You look at the guys who are out skating with us right now, the pro guys, even the older guys, they’re in the gym every day working harder because everyone who’s in the gym is making gains. You’ve got to be getting better both on and off the ice, trying to get better always.” Whatever the challenges are, Hamilton is more than willing to meet them head on, to realize his lifelong goal of playing the pro game and, eventually, in the NHL. “It’s been a long time coming,” he said. “I know it’ll be a big step up but I’m excited for it and looking forward to it.” The Oilers first game of the Young Stars Tournament is 4 p.m. Sept. 11 against the Canucks in Penticton

Rockets add size with acquisition of 210-pound forward Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna Rockets’ move towards building a bigger, more physical team for the future continued this week with the addition of forward Carter Rigby. The WHL club acquired the 6-foot-1, 210-pound Penticton native along with a conditional sixth round bantam
draft pick from the Prince George Cougars in exchange for a third-round bantam draft pick in 2012. Rigby, 17, who played three games with the Cougars last season, spent most of 2010-11 split between the BCHL in Penticton and the KIJHL in Osoyoos. Rigby had 22 goals and 43 points in 26 games in junior B with the Coyotes. With the Vees, he

Hamilton said Rigby will get some ice time with the Rockets, but just what his contributions will be remains to be seen. “We’ll see where he fits in,” Hamilton added “We have to be fair about what our expectations are. It’s a huge jump from junior B to junior A, then another jump to here. But

The Rockets emerged from opening weekend of the WHL preseason with a pair of wins on home ice. On Saturday at Prospera Place, Kelowna came from behind to post a 4-3 overtime win over the Vancouver Giants. Over-age forward Cody Chikie scored the
game winner on a set up from Damon Severson on the power play at the 2:49 mark of the extra period. On Saturday, seven different players scored for the Rockets in a 7-2 win over the Victoria Royals. Rookie defenceman Madison Bowey, 16, finished the weekend with two goals and an assist, while rookie forward Tyson Baillie also scored
a pair of goals. Second-year defenceman Damon Severson liked his team’s play on both nights. “It’s great. The guys in the room are excited,” Severson said. “There are guys still struggling to make this team so hopefully we can continue that with the next four exSee Rockets A23

Lightning off start line is key to Pearson’s success Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
If getting a quick start is the key to motocross racing, Lake Country rider Trevor Pearson has certainly figured it out. The 14-year-old George Elliot student jumped out of the gates in first place in all eight of his races at the 2011 Canadian Motocross Association Canadian National Championships, held last
month in Agassiz. And if it weren’t for a late crash, Pearson would have won all eight races. Instead he had to settle for seven of eight wins in his motos. Oh, and he also won two Canadian titles, winning the Novice MX 2 A and the Sports Class at the event in his first attempt at a national championship. “I had no idea who I was racing against which actually helped,” said
Pearson this week. “So I just rode to my best. We didn’t have any expectations. We were just hoping for a top five result. When I came out with the win we were surprised and happy.” Pearson’s success is definitely a family affair. The Pearson’s travel together to the events and everyone has a job, trying to make each race a success. “My brother is my
mechanic, my dad makes videos, my sister takes the pictures and my mom keeps us all fed,” said Pearson. “This year has been a good year with all the help from my family and my sponsors, we had a really good year.” With his victory at the nationals under his belt, Pearson will continue to ride in the fall racing series where he will move up to the intermediate class and face better riders.

“It will be a very tough class to die in so I will just have to try as hard as I can,” he said. “There will be a lot more kids who are bigger and older and are waiting for their time to go into the pro class.” Pearson and his family have created a You Tube page where videos of his races are posted and circulated to his long list of sponsors that are helping him get to the top of the sport. In a sport like motocross, sponsorship is important and at just 14, Pearson already knows that having a large support crew is what can make you successful. His win at the nationals is a perfect example. “It was a big win, having the title from the Canadian nationals,” he said. “But more than anything you can give your sponsors a lot of recognition. We can take that win and show it to our sponsors and show that with their help we were able to pull off a Canadian title.” Pearson will continue racing this fall in the B.C. fall series and will also take part in the indoor season this winter.

Revelstoke’s Volpatti looks to crack Canucks lineup Graeme Corbett BLACK PRESS
Aaron Volpatti already has a significant stash of pro hockey moments tucked away in his memory bank, but few will stand out more than the one from Dec. 20, 2010. It was the Revelstoke native’s first NHL goal with the Vancouver Canucks, in just his second game as a call-up from the AHL Manitoba Moose. The goal, the first of the game, wasn’t anything fancy. No spin-o-rama top-shelf backhander. Just a smart hockey play that exemplified two of the cardinal rules of the game instilled in every kid to put on skates—go to the net and keep your stick on the ice. Linemate Tanner
Glass started the play with a thunderous hit in the corner on a forecheck, and fellow Moose call-up Alexandre Bolduc quickly retrieved the loose puck to set up Volpatti with a backdoor pass to beat St. Louis Blues’ netminder Jaroslav Halak. The Canucks went on to stuff the Blues 3-1. “It happened fast. It was a good play by my linemates and I just got it to the front of the net and get it off as quick as I could. We did well when we played together,” recalled Volpatti, a fan favourite because of his feisty style when he played with the Vernon Vipers (2003-06). Said Sportsnet colour man John Garrett of the goal: “You want your fourth line to create some

up a Vancouver fan. Going from my senior year in college to actually signing with Vancouver in itself was pretty surreal,” said Volpatti, who trains with local pros Eric Godard and Stefan Schneider, along with a handful of up-and-comers, at Excel Fitness. Volpatti, who graduated with a degree in human biology, as well as the single-season school record for penalty minutes (115), will have to get used to a new city this year as he will likely start the season with Vancouver’s new AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. “Chicago’s a fun city. Everyone kept telling me,

there’s no way the franchise will go to Chicago because of the rivalry (with the Blackhawks), but it doesn’t matter,” said Volpatti. “I had a really good time in Winnipeg. I really like the city. You go from a place like Vancouver to
Winnipeg, it’s not as nice, I guess, but we had a good group of guys.” Then again, with the departure of roughneck forwards Glass (Winnipeg Jets) and Raffi Torres (Phoenix), there could be an opening for the 6-foot, 215-pounder’s physical skill set. Most of Vancouver’s offseason signings—namely Vernon’s Andrew Ebbett and Marco Sturm—don’t really fit that mold. Regardless, Volpatti knows he will have to battle to secure a job with a team that just won the President’s Trophy. “It’s tough to crack the lineup on that team. They signed a few new guys
that can fill those bottomsix roles as well. There’s always competition, but it just makes everyone better. I’m just looking forward to getting to camp and getting it going.” Volpatti disagrees with critics who declared the Canucks’ season a failure because they didn’t win a Stanley Cup after they cruised to the regular-season title. “That’s a successful season in any team’s eye. It’s not the finish anyone wanted, but it’s still a good season,” he said. “Sometimes they say that once you lose like that, then the next time you’re going to win. Hopefully that happens.”

excitement, (but) you don’t necessarily think there’s going to be some goals, but boy oh boy, that fourth line made it happen.” Volpatti’s rise up the ranks has been exponential. Signed as a free agent by the Canucks following his senior year with Brown University Bears in Providence, R.I., the hardhitting winger finished the year with the Moose, racking up a goal and an assist and 17 penalty minutes in eight games. He added another 13 points in 68 games last year (15 with Vancouver and 53 in Manitoba). “It was obviously pretty surreal, growing

Preseason losses won’t deflate UBCO Heat The UBC Okanagan Heat women’s soccer team closed out its preseason preparation for the 2011 BCCAA season with a pair of exhibition games on the Lower Mainland over the weekend. Although they absorbed a 4-1 loss to the Trinity Western Spartans, and a 5-3 loss to the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades, the Heat proved a challenge to both teams.

UFV finally broke the stalemate in the 27th minute when they slotted the ball past UBC’s goal keeper. Determined to fight their way back into the match Heat forward Kirsten Dodds again showed her strength and tied the game with a strong breakaway up field.

Pauline Elva Mahon passed away August 30, 2011 in the Summerland Seniors Village, Summerland BC at the age of 94. Pauline was born August 24, 1917 in Carrot Creek, Alberta. Pauline worked in Edmonton for a short time prior to her marriage, and then lived in Edson, Alberta until 1969, when she and her husband Gerald retired to Kelowna, BC. She was an active member of the Edson community, frequently involved in charitable activities. She was a member of the Kinettes Club, the United Church, and the Edson Welcome Wagon. Pauline will be greatly missed by her surviving family; four children: Geraldine (Alex) Russell of Parksville BC, Bruce (Catherine) Mahon of Calgary AB, Jean (Dennis) Forsberg of Summerland BC, and Karen (Denis) Woodman of Leduc AB; nine grandchildren: James, Dean, Jason, Kelsey, Ashley, Tanya, Erin, Grier, and Kye; and seven great grandchildren: Jordan, Toby, Taylor, Jorja, Charley, Chase, and Chet. The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff of The Summerland Village for their support and care. Pauline wished to be cremated and her ashes will be interred alongside her husband in Edson Glenwood Cemetery. A private family gathering will be held later to celebrate Pauline’s life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com. Arrangements in care of First Memorial Funeral Services (250) 762-2299.

Bella is a very special dog who needs a very special home. Her owners could not take her when they moved, and she had a rough start to life which makes her a timid dog, taking her time to warm up and trust people and her surroundings. Despite that she is loving, goofy, likes to play and would prefer a home with another social, friendly dog (she especially loves boys). She will need a quiet household, with patient loving people who understand her needs. Please call for an appointment to view as she is in foster right now.

YOUNG ADULT PIT BULL TERRIER X NEUTERED MALE
Loki is very intelligent and looking for that special someone to give him the time of day. He is friendly, energetic and deserves more than being stuck in a backyard. He is a social creature and enjoys the company of people. His breed is strong, so his new home will require decent fencing and/or lots of time out walking and/or off leash at the dog parks. Loki’s smile says it all. If you have what this loving guy needs please call and set up an appointment for a visit.

She has the most beautiful green eyes and strikes us a feline who would make a wonderful friend when bonded with the right person. If you feel you have a good environment for her and can give her a ‘forever home’, please come down and ask to meet her. Came in as a stray

Iggy is a sweet girl who is a little shy right now. She is unsure of everyone who visits, so tends to hide. Through past experience we recommend that she go to a home where she is the only cat so she can relax and open up. Iggy is very beautiful and needs a home where she can bond and have a stable environment to become the best she can be. If you would like to offer her a second chance at her ‘forever home’ please come and meet her. Owner surrender

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen peachy picks I remember picking the first ripe peaches off our tree when I was a kid, and that sweet juice running down my face and dripping off my chin onto the grass. When I went away to college I bought peaches in the store, far from the Okanagan, and I couldn’t believe the difference in flavour when I bit into the first one. It was a revelation to me—and a real disappointment. Today, I buy peaches from a neighbouring orchard, picked nearly ripe off the tree, and I’m transported back to my childhood with the sweet flavour. Peaches are nearly as good canned as they are fresh, so the following recipes could also be made using the fruit you canned in summer, when it was ripened on the tree. We’re lucky to live amongst orchards laden with a succession of fresh fruit all summer, but you may not realize it unless you move away and no longer have that abundance nearby. Make the most of it. Visit your local fruitstand, farmer’s market or produce store and make sure you’re purchasing local produce, for the best flavour and also to support your neighbours. Of course, peaches are just one of the options: there are cherries, apricots, plums and nectarines. Summer apples are now available and then there are pears and the fabulous, locally-developed Coronation variety of table grape with its unique and delicious flavour. For recipes using each of those delicious local fruits and more, pick up a copy of my new book, Jude’s Kitchen, wherever books are sold. Incidentally, CedarCreek Estate Winery presents Rubs and Reds with Whistler restaurant Sidecut’s Chef Edison Mays Sept. 8: a private class with the chef at 5:30 p.m., then a four-course dinner with wine pairings beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Spicy Peach Chicken
out the dough to about an eighthinch thick. Divide dough into six equal parts and put a skinned peach in the middle of each. Sprinkle with a spoonful of sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon each and add a pat of butter on top of each peach. Moisten the edges of the dough and fold up over the top of the peach, pressing tightly to seal. Place in a greased baking dish and sprinkle a little more sugar over each and then add a bit of butter to the top of each. Put in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 F for a further 20 minutes. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Serves 6.
With peach season late this year, there should still be lots of very fresh, tree-ripened ones around. This is pretty yummy with both spicy and sweet flavours and the bite of ginger underneath. Try serving it on a bed of brown rice pilaf cooked with onions and spinach. 1 onion drizzle of oil 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh ginger 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) fenugreek seeds 1 1/2 tsp. (7 ml) ground cumin 1 1/2 tsp. (7 ml) ground coriander 3 garlic cloves 4-6 chicken thighs salt and pepper, to taste 1 zucchini 2 celery stalks 2 fresh peaches 1/2 c. (125 ml) plain yogurt 2 tsp. (10 ml) garam masala 1 tbsp. (15 ml) cilantro
Coarsely chop onion and soften over medium heat in a deep frypan in a drizzle of oil. Mince ginger and add, stirring occasionally. Add fenugreek, cumin and coriander and mix well, cooking for another few minutes. Mince garlic and add. Remove skin from chicken. (You may use cubes of boneless chicken instead, in which case you could cook it in half the time.) Add chicken to the pan and cook, turning periodically, for about 10 minutes. Cube zucchini and slice celery and put on top of the chicken. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes or so. Peel, pit and cube the peaches and chop the cilantro and set aside. Stir the chicken and vegetables and add the yogurt and the peach chunks. Let them warm through, cooking for five more minutes or so. Dust with a nice, mellow-flavoured garam masala and top with fresh, chopped cilantro. Serves 4-5.
