Non-profits cash in on awarding of city grants Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna city council has approved a total of $180,000 in operating and project grants for 35 local non-profit arts, culture and heritage groups, and a further $95,000 for three pro-

fessional arts groups. The money for the non-profit groups is funded through the city’s recreation and cultural services department. The applications were adjudicated by the Central Okanagan Foundation for the city.

The grants are intended to help the groups with day-to-day operating costs and the cost of staging events such as festivals and other projects that focus on arts, culture and heritage. Of the $180,000 total for the non-profit groups,

$110,000 will be divided among 18 groups for operating, with the largest amounts going to the Okanagan Heritage Society ($12,000), and $10,000 each to Bumbershoot Children’s Theatre, the Okanagan Historical Society and the Theatre

Kelowna Society. Cultural services manager Sandra Kochan said this year three new groups are being included in the grant distribution—Centre Culturel Francophone de L’Okanagan ($6,000), the Okanagan Chinese Canadian Association

($5,000) and the Society of Friends of the Early Music School ($2,000). This year, $70,000 is being distributed to 17 organizations for project funding, with a maximum See GrantsA6

Months of voicing frustration may have paid off for the District of West Kelowna council and some of its residents. Last Friday morning, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure announced that it has been involved in discussions with Westbank First Nation to find lands—other than those originally identified in the Bear Creek/Rose Valley area—suitable for exchange. The ministry is required to provide WFN with lands of equal or greater value to the eight acres it acquired in the construction of the Westside Road Interchange. Initially, the province proposed that 698 acres of Crown land around Rose Valley reservoir be transferred to WFN in exchange for eight. In its released statement, the ministry mentioned that it recognizes the significant concerns expressed by area residents and other stakeholders specific to watershed and park protection.

NEWS W UBC OKANAGAN

New boss takes over the helm at Kelowna university The University of British Columbia’s board of governors has appointed a new principal for its Okanagan campus. Deborah Buszard has been named deputy vicechancellor and principal of UBCO, succeeding the retiring Doug Owram. Buszard will begin her five-year term on July 1. Currently a professor of environmental science at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Buszard has held a variety of academ-

Montreal. In her new role, she will be the senior leader at UBCs Okanagan campus in Kelowna and a core member of the university’s executive leadership team. “We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Buszard to UBC,” said Stephen Toope, president and vicechancellor of UBC. “She is a distinguished scholar and an effective leader who will provide strong support and guid-

Deborah Buszard ic and leadership positions at Dalhousie, as well as at McGill University in

ance to this extraordinary campus.” Buszard succeeds Owram, who has held the position since 2006. A historian who held senior leadership roles at the University of Alberta before coming to UBC, Owram helped establish and grow the new campus since just after its creation. During his tenure, the student population at the Okanagan campus has doubled to more than

7,900 this year. Buszard said she was thrilled to be joining UBC. “There is something special happening at UBC’s Okanagan campus and I feel it has exceptional potential. I look forward to the chance to serve this dynamic learning and research campus in this beautiful community,” Buszard said. At Dalhousie, Buszard served as director of environmental programs

and has been a driving force behind the creation of Canada’s first College of Sustainability. Prior to joining Dalhousie in 2006, she was a professor of plant science at McGill University and served as dean of agricultural and environmental sciences and associate vice-principal of its Macdonald campus from 1996 to 2005. Buszard was born in the United Kingdom and

received her PhD from the University of London. She has published research on plant physiology, strawberry breeding and horticultural crop management. She has been an active member in her community. That involvement included serving as chairwoman of the board of Vanier College and president of the Canadian Society for Horticultural Science.

“I have heard firsthand the concerns of West Kelowna residents and I am encouraged by the willingness of Westbank First Nation to explore other options,” said B.C. Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Blair Lekstrom. Mayor Doug Findlater said while he remains “cautious” about the announcement, he feels it might be good news for West Kelowna. “If they are serious about not impacting our watershed, about looking somewhere else that wouldn’t impact a drinking water reservoir, I’m pleased with that,” said Findlater. The mayor said that steps should be taken to ensure this type of debacle doesn’t happen again. “The lesson learned in the last iteration was that the ministry should be consulting, at a very early stage, with the local government in place,” he said. “When this deal was made—and we believe it was prior to incorporation in 2006 or 2007—the regional district was our local government. But they knew nothing about it, and as a new municipality, we were never notified until quite some time after.” Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart said he is very pleased with this shift in focus. “I am confident that through continued dialogue and exploration, we will find a land exchange solution that works for the province, Westbank First Nation and local residents,” said Stewart. The MLA noted that WFN has been feeling a lot of pressure with this whole situation. “I don’t think that they want to be seen as bad neighbours, so they’ve been trying to find some solutions, even though the province had an agreement (with them) that identified those lands,” the MLA said. Stewart admits that this deal will remain under “a microscope of scrutiny,” so he is determined to make sure that similar controversy doesn’t happen when future alternate lands are chosen. The 698-acre portion of Crown land was initially identified by WFN in 2009 as potential replacement lands. The four parcels that make up the 698 acres are under the jurisdiction of the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Since the lands were identified, the ministry has been engaging with individuals and organizations impacted by the proposed land transfer. Information from those consultations was incorporated into a detailed submission made to ministry in late November 2011. On Friday, the ministry made a copy of that submission available at: www.th.gov.bc.ca/publications/reports_and_studies/exchange_land_report.pdf. Findlater said that this is a story that has yet to be finished, and he’ll be keeping a close eye to see how it plays out. “This has been quite a game of snakes and ladders, ups and downs all along. We have a little bit of an ‘up’ right now for West Kelowna, but we’ll see how it turns out.”

Exploring prophesy through the eyes of artists Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s the end of the world! If 2012 and the end of the Mayan calendar has your interest piqued, the first show of the year for the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Arts has an end-of-days and prophecies show that just might tickle your fancy. “Certainly, everyone’s seen the Hollywood movies and their fantastical representations of the end of the world…So I thought we might just try and tackle some of that hype and the information that’s going around and channel it to create a discussion that we need to have about our future,” explained Jennifer Pickering, co-curator of the show entitled Picto Prophesy. The show is put together by Penticton’s Ullus Collective, the group that co-hosted the Independent Media Arts Alliance conference at the Alternator in 2008 when it focused on indigenous culture. Often experimental, and admittedly rough, the artists’ work explores what prophecy means as a concept and what it’s meant in indigenous cultures locally—and how that could affect the future. “This is functional indigenous art at its high-

est form…It is about the issues and the work that needs to be done to help feed the people and maintain the culture, and if it’s not at the calibre of mainstream excellence, that’s OK by us,” said Tracey Kim Bono, chair of the Ullus Collective and cocurator of the show. The exhibit will include digital art forms from cellphone camera imagery to video loops to two-dimensional mixed media prints, and is designed to act as an olive branch to help other Canadians build a better understanding of issues like the residential school system, it’s impact on aboriginal life and culture and on Canadian life in past, present and future. As a result, many of the artists’ work focuses on language and its importance to culture and tradition. With the world imploding under the weight of excess and greed, this exploration of how others think and communicate, and the true roots of a society, aims to offer new routes to addressing major issues like global warming and environmental degradation. Each artist involved was asked to offer up their own interpretation of these themes with Cease Wyss leading the way. Wyss took the prophecy challenge as an opportunity to

harmony with it.” Using digital screens or “our contemporary modern pictographs,” the work helps bring viewers back to the original lay of the land and how it was thought to look. Chris Bose, a Kamloops-based artist and a short-lived director of the Alternator, instead draws on the trickster and the coyote to explore what

2012 means for the future via a 10-minute video loop. “In the video projection, there’s about eight images I created all about my interpretation of what 2012 means and the prophecy,” he said, noting he’s incorporated a lot of his own language as well. Bracken Hanuse Corlett took his venture into the mountains where

he tried to see what it would be like if the end of the world, or the end of technology were to descend, leaving us all wireless and needing to head for higher ground several days. Though he only lasted a couple, he said the experience made him really appreciate what it means to turn on a light. “It was really hard and an eye opener for me.

Say if the electrical grid went down or something, the hike up the mountain alone was so exhausting. You need to carry a lot to survive,” he said. Corlett filmed the experience and shares it in the show. Picto Prophecy runs now through March 17 at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art inside the Rotary Centre for the Arts building.

Cop found guilty of assault, placed on administrative duties Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna RCMP Const. Christopher Brinnen has been found guilty of one count of assault relating to an incident that occurred in February 2010 near Gotcha’s night club. Following the conviction Friday, RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon announced he had placed

Brinnen on administrative duties while a comprehensive operational readiness assessment is conducted. “He has been put in a non-operational capacity within the detachment, which means he will not be responding to any calls. He is not out on the road at this point in time,” said McKinnon. “We will be assigning him, for lack of a better

term, to desk duty, until we make a decision.” McKinnon said that the assessment will involve a number of steps, including a review of the judge’s comments. After receiving the complaint about Brinnen on Feb. 23, 2010, McKinnon assigned the Professional Standards Unit to investigate. On July 15, 2010, it submitted a report

to Crown Counsel. He also ordered an internal code of conduct investigation and later recommended formal discipline. On Aug. 11, 2010, Crown Counsel approved one count of assault. Around 2 a.m. on Feb. 15, 2010, Kyle Nelson had a verbal exchange with Brinnen after both men showed each other the middle-finger.

Brinnen testified he chased Nelson into an alley with his SUV and then jumped out of the vehicle and followed Nelson over a fence. Once over the fence, the judge determined Nelson raised his hands as Brinnen closed in and punched him in the face. “The judge found that Const. Brinnen used excessive force in trying to

apprehend the male patron and stated that Const. Brinnen operated too fast and went too far and that there were other reasonable options available,” said McKinnon. “While this behaviour by one of my constables is very disappointing, it is a clear sign that we are also held to account by the court system.” Brinnen is not the only

Mountie from the Kelowna detachment to get into hot water in recent times. When asked whether McKinnon saw a problematic pattern, he quickly answered “no.” “We deal with a lot of issues. We’re dealing with people in desperate moments (and police) are asked to make decisions. Sometimes mistakes are made.”

Vulnernable groundwater to be monitored Okanagan governments. The Joe Rich well is being drilled in partnership with the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “Groundwater is one of the biggest unknowns in this valley,” said Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the OBWB. Groundwater is an important supply of water to many residents in this valley, but because its extraction is currently unlicenced in B.C., we don’t have an accurate measure of how much is being drawn out, she explained. At the same time, recent research indicates there are a number of sensitive aquifers in the valley. The Joe Rich monitoring well is being drilled in one of 15 Okanagan aqui-

Local residents, along with federal, provincial and local dignitaries, were on hand Feb. 3 as the Okanagan Basin Water Board broke ground on an important project to monitor the health of groundwater supplies in Joe Rich. The project is part of the OBWB’s Groundwater Monitoring Project, drilling wells in a number of Okanagan aquifers that have been identified as vulnerable and in need of monitoring due to limited water supply and increasing demand. The wells are being drilled in partnership with B.C. Ministry of Environment, B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Agriculture and AgriFood Canada, Environment Canada and various

fers identified as sensitive. A number of monitoring wells have already been drilled with two on Anarchist Mountain (outside Osoyoos), two in Oliver, two in Twin Lakes (near Keremeos), and one in Spallumcheen. Others are proposed in Ellison, Summerland, West Kelowna, Penticton and in an aquifer on UBC Okanagan lands. These monitoring wells will help communities protect, manage and sustain their groundwater supplies, and help them in land-use planning decisions that could affect these aquifers. “The water of this valley is all connected,” noted Warwick Sears, “from the water that flows down our mountains into the creeks, rivers and lakes in

the valley bottom, to the water in our underground aquifers that also ends up in our lakes. “Monitoring these important water sources is good for Joe Rich and the other communities that have them installed, but also good for the entire valley. Knowing where and how much water we have will help ensure a sustainable supply.” “Gaining a clear understanding of local groundwater is critical to the Okanagan Basin, where the availability of water is an ongoing challenge,” added B.C. Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson. “The government of British Columbia is proud to be a partner in the Okanagan Groundwater Monitoring Well Project, providing in-kind contributions, including automated water level monitoring equipment, ongoing maintenance, and facilitating siting access on Crown lands. To-

gether, we are helping local communities better plan for their water needs now and in the future.” “Groundwater is vital to our water supply, and managing this valuable resource in an efficient and sustainable manner is necessary, added KelownaLake Country MP Ron Cannan. “The Okanagan Basin Water Board is leading the way by providing tools that help us to get serious about our own water usage and determine what each of us can do to protect this valuable resource for the benefit of all in our communities,” Cannan said. Patty Hanson, a Joe Rich resident and RDCO Central Okanagan East Electoral Area director, was also on hand for the groundwater drilling announcement. “In our rural area of acreages, most residents rely on wells for a steady water supply to meet their daily needs,” Hanson said. “Drilling wells into

NEWS W DIAMOND JUBILEE MEDAL Nine first-time recipients get grants Food bank exec director Grants from A1 grant not exceeding $10,000. The three biggest grants this year are $9,000 each for the Kelowna Art Gallery’s From Vault to Virtual; a project to digitize the gallery’s photographic collection, the Intercultural Society of the Central Okanagan for its Global Music Fest this month; and the UBCO creative studies department’s eco-art workshop for 12 to 15 local artists to work with a world-renowned eco-art curator. All programming funds must be matched by another organization. Included in the 17 grant recipients are nine first-time recipients, said Kochan. “The grants show a good cross section of the community,” she said. In addition to the grants for the non-profit groups, city council also approved $95,000 for three professional arts groups—$50,000 for the Okanagan Symphony Society, $25,000 for the Kelowna Ballet Society (Ballet Kelowna) and $20,000 for the Okanagan Artists Alternative Association (Alternator Centre for Contempory Art). All of them have received the same grants since 2008. “These are huge resources for a community our size,” Kochan told council Monday. She noted that the city money accounts for just five per cent of Ballet Kelowna’s annual funding. Acting mayor Luke Stack noted that despite the city recently cutting back on spending in several areas in its recent provisional budget, this year the city has not cut back on its arts, cultural and heritage grants.

The executive director of the Kelowna Community Food Bank is one of the first recipients of a new medal marking Queen Elizabeth’s 60 years on the Throne. Vonnie Lavers, who was cited for her work in providing food to people in need, was one of the first 60 recipients of the new Diamond Jubilee Medal, according to an announcement Monday by the Prime Minister’s Office. Lavers was presented with the medal by Governor General David Johnston and Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa on Monday. She was one of eight

NEWS W WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE

Promoting a healthier lifestyle Extreme Pita is partnering with World Gym to help a group of Kelowna and West Kelowna residents achieve their weight loss goals. Called the Weight Loss Challenge, each participant will fall under a three-month fitness regimen with the end result being to help meet their own personal weight loss objectives. Of the 10 applicants selected from the challenge entry process, each will receive a free threemonth membership at World Gym, a free personal training consultation and a free Extreme Pita pita once a week. Robert Dziurman, owner of the Extreme Pita franchise in Kelowna, said the idea behind the Weight Loss Challenge was started by Extreme Pita a decade ago in Calgary. “It went over well in Calgary and has since been done in other Extreme Pita locations across Canada,” Dziurman said. “When Calgary started this, it was like we are right now. By the third year, there were 1,000 applicants, and by the fourth year, there were enough sponsors wanting to get involved that the first prize was $10,000. “This is the first time it’s been tried in B.C.” To add a little community-wide benefit to the concept, for every pound the contestants lose, Extreme Pita and World Gym will together donate $1 to the Salvation Army. Dziurman said the

SUPPORTERS of the Weight Loss Challenge are (front row) Rhonda Laturnus and

Gordon Palmer, with World Gym, along with (back row, left) Robert Dziurman, owner of Extreme Pita, and his catering manager Ems Maniago. Weight Loss Challenge is loosely based on the concept behind the popular TV program, The Biggest Loser. Each contestant is monitored weekly on their weight loss progress, and a prize yet to be determined will be awarded for the person who achieves the biggest loss of pounds to reach their weight objective. Rhonda Laturnus, sales/trainer for the World Gym locations in Kelowna and West Kelowna, said the challenge is fitting with the healthier lifestyle that both World Gym and Extreme Pita want to promote. Watch for updates in the Capital News in the weeks ahead on the progress of the weight loss contestants.

NEWS W CREATIONISM VS. EVOLUTION

Science challenged as UBCO debate draws a crowd Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

One of the most debated topics in history was a topic of interest for hundreds of UBC Okanagan students and members of the public on Jan. 25. Dr. Dan Ryder, a UBCO assistant professor of philosophy, and John Mackay, the Australian director of creation research, squared off in a two hour debate at UBCO. Ryder, who argued in favour of the evolution theory, said his main argument was brought forward by asking Mackay how the vast majority of biologists are getting it wrong. “How could they possibly be so wrong about where the evidence points?� asked Ryder. Ryder, who had never debated before Jan. 25, said that a common creationist argument is that biologists are all atheists. “But there’s good data out there

showing that’s false,� explained Ryder. “So far nobody has really come to me with an alternative explanation for how it is that all these biologists are deluded. The alternative proposal is: No, it’s the creationists that are deluded by their dogmatism.� Ryder said that the biggest problem with creationists is that many develop an “anti science attitude.� “They know that science says evolution is true, but they’re sure that it’s not true, so they say ‘you can’t trust science.’� Mackay claimed that Ryder’s argument is irrelevant, noting that Albert Einstein’s views were among the minority back in his day, but that didn’t make him wrong. “His (main) argument was majority is all that matters. In science, majority is irrelevant,� said Mackay. Mackay’s main argument was that “truth matters.�

“If we got here by accident (or) natural processes, truth wouldn’t matter at all. We were created in the image of a truthful God. That’s why truth matters to us all.� The Australian creation expert said the view that humans evolved from other species is false. “In this world, what you see is what you get. No one sees evolution and all the people who believe in it are not actually doing it. Family trees are abstract and hiding behind time is hypocrisy.� The format of the debate allowed each debater to present an opening argument, followed by an opportunity for rebuttal, and finally both Ryder and Mackay were allowed to ask each other one question. This was followed by questions from the audience. The vast majority of audience questions were posed to Mackay after the debate. This meant that Mackay

some of the things simply don’t fit with the rest of the puzzle—as produced by science. At the end of his talk, Ryder offered to speak at anyone’s church service. Although several creationists chatted with Ryder after the debate, he has still yet to receive an invitation to speak at any of their churches. Although the face-to-face debate was only two hours, a much longer and comprehensive debate will be happening online at http://blogs.ubc. ca/markbergen. Ryder suspects that the two-week Internet debate will begin around mid-to late-February. “What really matters to me is the online follow up where we can actually talk about the issues,� said Ryder. Mackay said he hopes Ryder will produce “some facts and real arguments� so the two can have an effective debate.

was forced to answer the question first, and then Ryder could weigh in with his opinion afterwards. Mackay felt that he was slightly misled as to how the question period would take place. “The chairman had agreed, before the debate, one question for me (then) one question for Dan. But what actually happened enabled Dan to get away with murder by having the last word,� said Mackay. Ryder said he was happy with the audience response and suspected that most of the questions came “from people who were thinking this creation stuff is not believable.� One of the few questions posed to Ryder came from a little girl sitting in the front row of the UBCO lecture hall. She asked Ryder: “Why do you not believe some of the things that the Bible says?� Ryder said some things that the Bible says are wonderful; however,

When will the message sink in

W

e say it over and over again— students, parents, police, community leaders—talking about the importance of teenagers driving safely when they get behind the wheel. That includes not speeding, not drinking or taking any other drugs and driving, and not getting in a vehicle with school friends prone to either of those characteristics. But tragedy struck again around 2:25 a.m. on Sunday

morning, when two Maple Ridge teenagers were killed in a horrific head-on crash that injured four people. A nearby resident said he was awoken by a large boom as a Dodge van, carrying three teenage boys, collided with a blue Honda car with three teenage girls. A 16-year-old driver of the van is dead, as is an 18-year-old passenger in the car. The other two boys were sent to hospital with serious injuries.

250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575

Police aren’t releasing many details yet beyond speeding was a factor, but one witness told a TV reporter he could spell alcohol on the breath of one youth trapped in one of the vehicles he tried to help at the scene. It is sad to think this could happen given a 16-year-old was likely supposed to be driving with an adult under the province’s graduated licensing program. Why they were out at the time of the night, no matter what they were doing, is another

head scratcher. Said one mother at the scene of the accident on Sunday: “Life is short. Anyone that has a teen…in the world, needs to give them a special hug and a kiss today after what’s happened…You have to hope that people will drive slower, not drink and drive, that people will take that extra moment not to get behind the wheel.” Sadly, that “hope” was missed on the teens involved in Sunday’s tragic accident.

Flashy ads are part of the experience on Super Bowl Sunday

T

hey have become as big as the big game itself. The television ads that punctuate plays in the Super Bowl are now some of the most anticipated—and costly—advertisements out there. But in Canada, we don’t get to see them during the big game. That’s because, whether you watch the Super Bowl on a Canadian or American channel in Canada, you get the Canadian broadcast feed, complete with Canadian ads you’ve seen a thousand times and an irritating overdose of promos for the same upcoming program on the Canadian network. But not this year. At least, not this year in the Kelowna market. Before kick-off, it seems, someo-

And what event could properly be called super without an appearance by current “it” girl, 90-year-old Betty White? She popped up as the voice in the shower in an elaborate promo for the singing competition show, The Voice, which aired after the game. But while the ads, which sell for more than $3 million per minute during the game, often grab the headlines, it’s the fact we got to see them that’s a story today. That was not supposed to happen. We were supposed

to watch the Canadian ads. But it’s not like most of the U.S. ads were not available to us anyway prior to the game. When you are shelling out the big bucks it costs to advertise on the most watched U.S. television broadcast of the year, you want to get the most bang for your buck. So anyone with a computer and an Internet connection could have seen most of the Super Bowl ads well in advance. But when it comes to Super Bowl ads, there’s something special about watching them between football plays. It makes the viewer feel they really are in the game. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Transit Wrong-headed attitude called out #9 route cut is protested W PESTICIDE USE

To the editor: Re: Scientist: Pesticides Don’t Cause Cancer, posted online to Capital News website, Jan. 26. To my knowledge, Dr. Len Ritter, a retired faculty member of the University of Guelph, is a toxicologist (rodent specialist). Bear in mind that rodents such as rats have detoxification genes missing in humans. Ritter is not an expert on human cancer. Moreover, he is notorious for promoting the industry’s self-interested point of view on pesticides and praising the work of Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency.

I am a retired federal public servant, familiar with the Ottawa pesticide approval scene. I happen to know that the PMRA employs about 350 toxicologists (rodent specialists) who have no labs of their own and fully depend on data supplied by pesticide manufacturers for their pesticide evaluations. Thus, inconvenient data may be withheld from the PMRA by these pesticide manufacturers. Moreover, the PMRA employs very few epidemiologists (human data specialists). Thus the pesticide assessment process associated with the PMRA can hardly be called impartial or rigor-

ous. I am the author of Smoking’s Innocent Victims, published in Reader’s Digest, July 1983. In his attempt to exonerate pesticides, Ritter grossly exaggerates the percentage of cancers due to smoking. The chemicals found in tobacco number in the hundreds and not in the thousands as Ritter maintains. Ritter favours limiting the application of pesticides for cosmetic purposes to those done by trained applicators, which protect such applicators exclusively. Young children and pets remain especially vulnerable to pesticide ex-

posures. I take issue with Ritter’s wrong-headed attitude towards organic produce as well. There is no doubt that organic produce is healthier than food contaminated by pesticide residues. Ritter’s comment about organic produce— “Actually, he noted, organic producers have shifted their message from safety to focus on the importance of lifestyle and sustainable agriculture”—happens to be preposterous and misleading.

W RCMP TAKEDOWN

Surrey youths did a dumb thing To the editor: Last week, a group of young men thought it would be a great plan to walk into a local Subway, in broad daylight, and stuff some toy guns down the front of their pants for all to see. They showed no concern for the fear they might put into someone sitting in the restaurant, an extreme lack of intelligence for performing such a careless act. After what had all the makings of a police takedown, the boys

walked away unhurt but seemingly embarrassed. The mom of one of the toy gun packers then said on TV she was embarrassed—not by her son’s foolish actions but by the RCMP’s response. Really? I can’t believe you said that on camera. You should be embarrassed by your comment as well as your boy’s colossal mistake. Again, I find myself being the voice of Canadian citizens who are grateful we live in a country where our RCMP have respect for our fel-

low human rights. Chances are that had this event happened in another country, this story would have had a greater possibility of a tragic ending for a young group of basketball players with their whole life ahead of them. I am the voice of Canada that gives thanks for our great country and those that go out everyday to protect it and our citizens’ human rights. Wendy Gill, Kelowna

What’s the deal with local gas prices? To the editor: Could someone step up to the plate (how about one or two owners) of any of the gas stations in West Kelowna and explain to me and thousands of other people living on the West-

side why we are paying four cents a litre more for gas than Kelowna. I try to ignore the gas prices because it is what it is, but when I see us getting (legally) ripped off, that’s when I get choked.

Maybe someone from the Capital News can find an answer because whenever I ask the question I’m always told: “I don’t know.” I could be wrong, but in the past our gas prices have been based on

Kelowna’s gas prices. Maybe the gas stations in West Kelowna want to be the big guy now and Kelowna can play by our gas pricing rules. Al Turner, West Kelowna

Thanks expressed for Dreamlift Day support To the editor: Who would have dreamed 18 years ago, when Wendy’s DreamLift Day started with one restaurant and raised $10,500, that it would grow to raise $114,276 in a single day? That was the total for this year’s Dreamlift Day on Jan. 25. But then who could have imagined the “magic” that happens on the last Wednesday every January in the Southern Interior of B.C.? It can’t be said enough: I truly don’t know of any philanthropic gesture that matches these nine Wendy’s. To donate everything for the day—all their wages, salaries and profits—is

unheard of. This year was very special, topping the $1 million mark for the past 18 years. Wendy Thomas herself and seven Orange County Sheriff representatives flew in to help celebrate this milestone. It truly is a milestone, not only in the amount raised, but also in how the event is self-sustaining. It doesn’t just keep going and growing. The result is there will continue to be a planeload of very special kids who get to fly to see Minnie and Mickey every other year. And it’s all because of you. For some of you, it

involved a very long wait in line to support our charity. To the volunteers who came in to flip hamburgers (and other jobs), thank you. And to all the media for your wonderful support delivering messages before, during and after the event, another big thank you. This note of thanks to our community is from a lot of very special kids. Many have already had their dream come true, and many more will in the future, thanks to your grateful support of Dreamlift Day. Steven Tuck, past president, B.C. Interior

Open letter to Kelowna city council: Re: No. 9 Shoppers Shuttle transit route. It should be called the Seniors Shuttle because this bus route takes seniors grocery shopping, to medical appointments and to pick up needed supplies. The route takes us past Walmart, Quality Greens, Safeway, Save-On-Foods, Bulk Foods, etc. —all the stores that help us live as low income seniors or handicapped, especially with the price of groceries going up rapidly. We are trying very hard to remain independent and not end up in the overburdened “system.” Many of us have difficulty walking and must use walkers or motorized chairs. The rest of us use shopping carts because we can’t carry heavy grocery loads. You are asking us to use the #10 route, but in order to do so, we must climb a hill that many residents can’t climb due to mobility issues. Myself, I am able to walk the hill, but I don’t want to slip walking it during the winter and break a bone, putting me in the hospital. Please understand, we seniors are doing our best to keep mobile, live independently and to not ask for help from Interior Health or other organizations. I know it’s hard for healthy, younger people to understand what it’s like to be a senior with mobility problems, vision problems and living on a low income. We ask this decision be reconsidered and done so quickly. Shirley Quee, Kelowna

This group includes Acetaminophen (Tylanol), Ibuprofen (Advil) Aspirin, and more. Human NSAIDS are usually sold “over the counter� and are used as pain and inflammation relievers. People tend to administer those medications to their pets in cases of fever and pain. Using human NSAIDS can be very dangerous to pets. Cats are especially sensitive to the adverse effects of these drugs. NSAIDS readily cause stomach ulcers. They damage the kidneys to the extent of kidney failure. They may also damage the liver and adversely affect the blood’s clotting ability. The severity of the damage is determined by the amount substance given in correlation to the pet’s size. A typical human pill is designed to be used by a grown adult which may weigh 10 or even 20 times more than a pet. Signs of NSAIDS toxicity are depend on the tissue affected. Stomach ulcers may manifest by vomiting and or diarrhea, both may contain blood. The pet is usually weak and has no interest in food, and may show pain reaction around its abdomen.

Lighting the candle for change ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young economic development. To add value and give us the foundation for a provincial model community, and not a cookie-cutter facsimile of what we shouldn’t be. It was pointed out to me last week by a local concerned citizen that perhaps we might look at Chilliwack and its recent mall developments, such as Garrison village, that hinge on filling the gaps in community economic development with sensible independent retailers that both attract and fill a need in that community’s landscape. And we don’t want anymore fast food outlets that want us to believe their products are critical for a healthy lifestyle. Nonsense. We are desirous of creating a showcase community here on the Westside, a community that we can be truly proud of, not only for the mix of residents from the world over, the beauty of our landscape and home developments, but also for intelligent well-thought and planned unique and creative retailers that are drawn to open their doors knowing their lease arrangement will not bury them in less than a single year of operation. What I would like to see happen quickly, quietly and effectively would be to have a West Kelowna Community Economic Development Task Force put in place with a solid mix of relevant stakeholders that would explore

Leave prescription care of your pets to a vet Dr. Oz from A12 ther lack of urine production or excessive urination and drinking. If the liver is involved the pet may show signs of Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and tissues) As a rule of thumb, I recommend you not to give your pet human NSAIDS, or any other human drug for that matter, without consulting a vet. In some cases the animal helps itself to the drug, those cases are usually even more dangerous because the overdose tends to be greater. Veterinary NSAIDS are available and commonly prescribed by vets for pain relief. These medications are designed to be used by pets. Their concentration is lower, and only the types that are less dangerous to pets are used. Dr. Moshe Oz operates the Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital in West Kelowna, 2476 Westlake Rd. www.KelownaVet.ca

such key elements as an economic development scorecard; district branding strategy; focus groups to assess consumer wants and needs in a variety of purchasing categories; and a series of economic development components that would lead us to the creation of a dynamic strategy and action plan. I don’t buy into the theory that Westside residents must go to Kelowna to shop. Are we making an assumption that Kelowna retailers have everything we might need on their shelves? How silly is that? We do need an economic strategy designed to showcase the strengths and attractiveness of the West Kelowna landscape, so that existing business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs can readily see the merit in innovation and creativity in their thought processes that will contribute to cementing our merchant critical mass as a viable, attractive and exciting recipe for the future. In addition, we need to establish a “showcase” community with enough of a draw to bring in new residents and new entrepreneurs who want to share our special place.

So you may be asking yourself, why is Joel writing about community economic development issues in his entrepreneurship column? Easily answered in this fashion. Driving daily into Kelowna for meetings, I pass the new mall underway beside the Westbank First Nation office along Highway 97. What did I see when the sign went up? Dollar store, liquor store, drugstore…I told myself this is not the high end quality retailers I was led to believe would be housed within that structure to add value to our Westside economy. So, I have felt prompted to stand on my soap box and ask for a “regrouping of thought” for the greater good. I know of a comfort food restaurant that would like to explore a satellite location and specialty home décor and kitchen retailers that would investigate Westside. But we are not hoisting the banner saying to the world: “We are open for business.” Come see our world. Let’s try shall we? Joel Young is founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society.

his past week I have mulled over what I would offer to you in the realm of “food for thought,” to take us to a place that inspires the entrepreneurial voice to be heard in our beloved Okanagan. “Disruption breeds change” is a suggested mantra for those of us who are growing weary of asking question after question about the environmental elements in our daily life that both confuse and test our intellect. Living in West Kelowna and being quite pleased with myself for my wife and I choosing to live here after much deliberation and examination, I have found myself joyous on the one hand for our accreditation as a provincial new municipality. But on the other hand, I also find myself concerned that local developers, leasing agents and property managers seem to be missing the boat to bring to our landscape a mix of logical, practical retailers that go beyond the “big box” syndrome that we find ourselves mired in and t9 focus more on desired and needed independent retailers such as home décor and comfort food restaurants to name a few. West Kelowna readers, do you realize that video rental stores are gone, replaced by a cadre of dollar stores and seemingly half dozen or more drugstores? And I am not suggesting sainthood, but aren’t there an abundance of liquor outlets on Westside? I can’t help but long for some creativity and innovative thinking from all the relevant development players that have a clear responsibility to contribute to West Kelowna’s

Carson, Christensen take on top roles with Okanagan Sun Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Paul Carson, a longtime Canada West player and coach, and assistant coach with the Okanagan Sun for the last seven seasons, is the new president of the B.C. Football Conference team. In a restructuring of the club’s board of directors, Carson was named to the post this past weekend at the Sun’s annual general meeting. In addition, former Sun head coach and player Jay Christensen was named the team’s new general manager. The appointments are part of the Sun’s new direction and philosophy as the club’s executive plans to focus on preparing the organization for an eventual move into Canadian Interuniversity Sport. Under the new model, the board of directors will handle the business aspect and long-term direction of the club, the operations committee will look after the day-to-day functions of the club, while the GM will be responsible for football operations. Carson, who spent 14 seasons with the University of Calgary Dinos program five as a player and nine as an assistant coach, has an extensive background in business and finance, and will be employing those skills in his new role.

“It’s no secret that Okanagan Sun and UBC Okanagan are working towards moving into some kind of partnership,” said Carson, who takes over the post from Bill Long who spent two seasons as team president. “We are going to Paul Carson continue to do our part to make that transition happen sooner than later, if possible. “As a board, we want focus on the business aspect of the team, engage business people in the community, and work on raising funds so that when the times comes, we’re ready for the move to university, whenever that happens.” For Christensen, moving into the GM’s chair involved a couple of conditions, including Paul Carson’s involvement on the board, and Jason Casey remaining on as the Sun’s head coach. Christensen, who spent seven seasons as the team’s head coach, is excited to be part of the team’s new direction and looks forward to helping recapture some of the momentum the club

has lost within the community over the last few seasons. “There seems to be part of the football community that has drifted away from the football club the last little while and we want to bring them back,” said ChrisJay Christensen tensen, who served on the Sun coaching staff last season as offensive coordinator. “Alumni, a lot of guys who used to be involved, the fans…they’re all important to the team. “You look at the team itself and the quality of people we have in place now, and we’ve got a pretty good foundation to build on. “Kelowna has done a fantastic job for 32 years of supporting this team,” added Christensen, “now we think we can take it to the next level.” From Carson’s perspective, Christensen is infinitely qualified to take on the GM’s duties. “With Jay looking after the football side, it allows us to focus on other issues that boards

should be focusing on,” he said. “We have the confidence in Jay to run it, we’re going to rely on his expertise, and we won’t be discussing football issues with him. It’s his team in that regard.” Howie Zaron, who served as general manager last season, will remain on with the team as the director of player personnel. Carson said the move “keeps Howie doing what he does best and that is recruiting the best players in the country.” • The five new members of the Sun board of directors are: Paul Carson—Vice President, National Bank Financial Todd Sanderson—Partner, Sanderson & Company Accounting Tim Lawler—District Vice President, CIBC Randy Lowe—CFO, McIntosh Properties Jeff Lawson—COO, JDS Energy & Mining • The returning directors are: Bill Long—past President Les Weiss—scholarship dinner Blake Roberts—season ticket sales Tamiko Lyle—player housing and scholarship liaison Terry Henderson—operating committee liaison Bryden Winsby—recording secretary.

Owls clipped by Titans in Western Canada basketball final Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

“We’re kind of used to being in hostile enviroments, we run a tournament close to the same size as this, so we probably play three to four times a year in front of a crowd like this,” said Hoyt. “I think because of that, we were able to handle that first quarter, make some adjustments and survive it. “That’s a great team,” he said of KSS. “I don’t know if we were to play them three times if we’d win that series.” As badly as the Owls wanted to win the school’s

first Western Canada title in three decades, it isn’t the trophy KSS most covets. The No. 1-ranked team in the province still has five weeks left in the season, with the biggest prize still up for grabs— the B.C. championship next month in Langley. Coach Parmar said like any defeat, the Owls will benefit from their experience at the WCBT. “It’s a good learning tool,” Parmar said. “We had some people who were frustrated out there. We have to do a better job

of keeping our emotions in check, and we can’t have defensive lapses like we had. We need to get better and improve from this moving forward.” And now that the KSS squad is more aware of its shortcomings, Braxston Bunce said it’s time for the Owls to correct them and be armed and ready for provincials. “We’re going try not to dwell on this too much, we’ll get back at it and get to work,” said Bunce.

In most cases, topping the 80-point barrier would be more than enough ammunition for the 2012 edition of the Kelowna Owls senior boys’ team to subdue their opponents. Not so on Saturday night inside a jam-packed KSS gym, as the Edmonton Harry Ainlay Titans dissected the Owls’ defense for a 91-85 win in the final of the Interior Savings Western Canada Basketball Tournament. The Owls, who were looking to win the school’s first Western Canada title in 30 years, surrendered the lead in the second quarter against the hotshooting Titans and simply couldn’t get it back. It was the most points allowed in a game this season by B.C.’s No. 1-ranked team. “It really came down to our defense, we just didn’t play well at all,” said Owls 6-foot-11 post Braxston Bunce who had 25 points and 15 rebounds in the final. “We just kind of traded baskets, we didn’t get any consecutive stops, we didn’t do what we had to do to win. It’s disappointing.” “We gave up 91 points,” added Owls coach Harry Parmar. “That’s on each person, we’re playing man-to-man defense

and we give up that many ? You can’t do that and win games.” Even Mitch Goodwin’s heroics weren’t enough to put KSS over the top as the Owls’ point guard drained a gamehigh 37 points in the final. Harry Ainlay, the topranked team from Alberta, was led to victory by tournament MVP Lyndon Annets who netted 25 points. Titans’ coach George Hoyt said beating a team of the Owls’ quality in their own gym is an accomplishment worth celebrating.

Heat men take volleyball playoff chase to final weekend The UBC Okanagan Heat’s quest for a playoff berth in their inaugural season of CIS men’s volleyball competition will come down to the last weekend of the regular campaign. The Heat remain alive for the seventh and final berth after a dramatic victory over the Saskatchewan Huskies Saturday night in Saskatoon. UBCO fended off five match points for a 3-2 win (23-25, 25-20, 2826, 18-25, 18-16) to avoid a weekend sweep at the hands of the Huskies, and push their season record to 6-12. UBC Okanagan will host Thompson Rivers this coming weekend, and will need two victories to try and surpass Winnipeg (7-13) for the final playoff spot. As for the Heat’s effort Saturday, their head coach watched his team dig deep for the crucial win. “To say that (the match) was an epic battle would be an understatement. Every player on the floor had to make a clutch play,” said Heat coach Greg Poitras. “Some of

two aces. On Friday, the Huskies downed the Heat 3-0 (25-16, 25-13, 25-23). McFarland delivered 10 kills, while setter Preston Tucker supplied 24 assists. The Heat will host TWU this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in the biggest matches of the program’s brief Canada West existence. “We will need the Heat student body and Heat volleyball community in full force at ‘The Furnace’ next Friday and Saturday,” added Poitras.

The absence of a playoff future didn’t hinder the Heat women who swept the hometown Saskatchewan Huskies in Canada West action. On Friday, outside hitter Myrte Schön tallied a match-high 15 kills and six digs for the Heat in a 3-0 (25-23, 26-24, 25-20) win over the winless Huskies. First year Katy Klomps added seven kills and one solo block, Libero Lenai Schmidt recorded 13 digs, while setter

Chandler Proch had 28 assists. “We played a solid match and were able to keep an even flow throughout,” said Heat head coach Steve Manuel. “Myrte’s been injured and playing the last few weeks with a pulled abdominal. She’s feeling a lot better, she’s worked through it and I think she’s pretty much over it.” On Saturday, the Heat recorded 13 service aces to take down Saskatchewan 3-1(22-25, 25-18, 2515, 25-10). Proch had three aces, while Jill Festival and Klomps recorded two apiece. Schön, the top gun for setter Proch, led the team with 15 kills, including a back-row attack to set up game point in the third game. Klomps had eight kills, and Festival added three stuff blocks.

Victoria Vikes sweep Ransom and MacKenzie to Worlds by Heat in Canada West The UBC Okanagan Heat battled but, in the end, couldn’t muster enough opposition against the Victoria Vikes in Canada West basketball action. Both the women’s and men’s squads were swept by UVic on their home court on the next-to-last weekend of their inaugural season of CIS competiton. In women’s action Friday, the Vikes blew open a relatively close game in the second quarter, then went on for a 74-46 win. Both teams were clad in pink as the game was part of the WBCA Shoot for the Cure, with money being raised for the fight against breast cancer. The Vikes offense was led by guard Deborah Yeboah who scored a game high 18 points. Freshman guard Emily Kanester scored a team high 11 points for UBCO and was the only Heat player to score in the double digits against the defensively sound UVic team. Krystal Schouten added eight points, while each player grabbed five rebounds.

On Saturday, Roz Huber’s huge 25-pioint effort wasn’t enough as the Heat fell to Victoria 86-61. Vikes’ Deborah Yebaoh scored 17 of her team high 21 in the first half, hitting 10-20 from the floor. Kanester and Schouten added eight points apiece for UBCO. Despite the defeat, Heat head coach Heather Semeniuk was happy with her team’s improved effort over the previous night. “I thought we showed a high level and desire to compete (Saturday), just a few bodies short, 2220 after the first quarter, even the 45-37 halftime score—those were both positives.” The Heat (2-14) will close out their first Canada West season this weekend with a home-and-home set against Thompson Rivers. The teams will play Saturdsay in Kamloops, then Sunday, 4 p.m. at UBCO.

HEAT MEN

The UBCO men went down to defeat twice to the seventh-ranked and bigger Vikes team, opening the weekend with a

76-49 loss on Friday. The Vikes’ star player Ryan MacKinnon hit 1,300 career points, scoring a game high 21 points against the Heat. Yassine Ghomari shared a team high 10 points for the Heat along with Steve who also grabbed four rebounds. “They are definitely bigger than us,” said assistant coach Neale. “We didn’t do very good job of boxing them out, especially in the first half. They scored a lot of second chance points on us.” On Saturday, Victoria were stifling on defense as they disposed of the Heat 68-39. MacKinnon led the Vikes in scoring for the thirteenth time this season with 19 points on 7-11 shooting. Senior post player Simon Pelland led the way for the home squad with 16 points. The Heat men wrap up their season this weekend with a home-and-home series vs Thompson Rivers, as the teams meet Saturday in Kamloops, and Sunday, 6 p.m. at UBCO.

In junior men, Jasper missed only one standing and took 6th place and needed to do well in his final race to qualify. The third day was a modified pursuit in windy and snowy conditions— four shoots with two standings and two prone with 150m penalty for missed shots. Ransom (junior women 10 km) missed three prone and three standing to finish second overall and first for youth. In the junior men’s 12.5 km, MacKenzie finished third to clinch a spot on the national team. Ransom and MacKenzie will leave Feb. 13 for Finland.

Warriors look to build on win over Merritt Cents

The odds aren’t in their favour, but the Westside Warriors have yet to throw in the towel in their pursuit of a BCHL playoff spot. With 12 games remaining in the regular tseason, the Warriors trail Chilliwack by 10 points for the fourth and final post season berth in the Interior Conference. Westside is eight back of fifth-place Vernon. On Wednesday, the Warriors will look to at rleast maintain their positiion when they host the Salmon Arm SilverBacks, 7 p.m. at LePage. t

Westside’s unpredictable play continued over the weekend as they lost 4-2 to struggling Alberni Valley on Friday, then beating the No. 2 team, the Merritt Centennials, 3-1 on Saturday in West Kelowna. Westside netminder Dwyane Rodrigue was nothing short of spectacular against Merritt in making 37 saves. Josh Monk, Shawn Hocchausen and Marcus Basara scored for the Warriors who looked lethargic one night, then much like title contenders the next. “That’s junior hock-

ey. You never know what you’re going to get,” said Warriors coach and GM Rylan Ferster. “If we get that effort for 60 minutes against Salmon Arm and again (Friday) I think we’re 3-0 and we’re feeling pretty good about ourselves,” Ferster said. “As it is we got just one of the three but it’s certainly nice to get this last one against a very good team.” This weekend, the Warriors (17-24-2-5) will be in Penticton (41-3-0-2) Friday, then in Chilliwack Saturday night.

Rockets dominate

Playing without sevteral veteran players, the Kelowna Rockets took care of business in Prince George on the weekend, winning two Western Hockey League games against the Cougars including a dominant performance on Saturday night. The 4-1 win on Saturday came after a narrow f2-1 win on Friday that prompted Rockets coaches to challenge its players to come out stronger tagainst Prince George. And Saturday the Rockets responded, outshooting Prince George 47-18 and winning easily, despite playing without 19-year-old Brett Bulmer, 20-year-old Brett Lyon rand defenceman Mitchell Chapman, 19, who left the game early in the first period. “We responded well,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “We were a rlittle bit younger that night and it was important for our group to see our young guys can push and be the difference in games. We were happy with the way they competed.” Bulmer missed both games in Prince George— what could have been the rPrince George native’s final WHL games in his rhometown—due to illness. Both Bulmer and Chapman will be game time decisions while Lyon was suspended after Friday’s game and also sat out Saturday. The length tof his suspension hadn’t been determined as of Monday. r The pair of wins equals the Rockets best

stretch of hockey of the year, winning five of six games and climbing to one game over .500 at 2423-2-4. The team remains mired in sixth in the WHL Western Conference however, 11 points back of fifth place Vancouver and 14 points ahead of seventh place Victoria. “We’ve been playing much better,” said Huska. “I think there is a lot more consistency to our game than we had earlier in the year. We’re still trying to find the consistency where we are doing everything right every night but in big picture we have been going in the right direction.” The Rockets return to Prospera Place on Wed-

nesday night when they host the Seattle Thunderbirds, a team currently holding down the eighth and final playoff position in the WHL Western Conference. That will be followed by a home and home series this weekend against Kamloops. “With Seattle they are a team fighting for a playoff spot so you know they will bring their very best.” said Huska. “We have to make sure we are prepared for that. We have to be be focussed on our game and making sure we continue to improve.” The Rockets and Seattle play at 7 p.m. Wednesday while Kelowna hosts Kamloops at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Cotter rink to defend B.C. crown

EVEREST TATARYN/BLACK PRESS

SKIP JIM COTTER (centre) and his Vernon/Kelowna rink, including Kevin Folk (left), Rick Sawatsky and Ty Griffith (not pictured) will defend the B.C. men’s curling title next week in Parksville.

There’s an element of greed on the Jim Cotter rink in that the Vernonbased team would rather not share what they rightfully won in 2011. But like it or not, 15 other teams will be gunning for Cotter and Co. when they look to defend the B.C. men’s curling championship this week in Parksville. Cotter is joined on his team by a trio of Kelowna curlers—third Kevin Folk, second Ty Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky. And there is another Kelowna component to the provincials this week as local curler Jeff Richard will be throwing last rocks for New Westminster’s Brent Pierce. Richard skipped his Kelowna team to the B.C. men’s title two years ago. The opening draw of the 16-team event goes Wednesday morning at 9 a.m., with Cotter playing Royal City’s Jay Peachey, and the Pierce rink taking on Penticton’s Wylie Eden. The Cotter team is coming off a promising season on the World Curling Tour, qualifying in four events, including reaching

the semifinals of the Pomeroy Inn and Suites National late last month in Dawson Creek. Due to the loss of skip Bob Ursel to injury at the beginning of the 201011 season, the Cotter rink rotated through several thirds last season, before settling on Ken Maskiewich for the provincials and the Brier. This season, Kevin Folk moved up to the third position as the team brought Ty Griffith on board to play second. Kelowna’s Rick Folk, who serves as the Cotter team coach, said the new arrangement has worked well for the local team. “They started out pretty well and managed to keep it going pretty much all season,” said Folk, a two-time world men’s champ. “They seem to fit together pretty good, Kevin is probably more of a natural third, and Jim has had most of a season skipping with the same team. They look really comfortable playing together.” When asked to predict a winner in Parksville, Folk, not surprisingly, picked the Cotter rink based both on experience and overall talent.

“They’ve got as good a shot as anyone,” Folk said. Still, Folk said there are a handful of rinks who are legitimate contenders in Parksville, including the Pierce foursome, featuring 2010 B.C. winner, Jeff Richard. The Pierce rink rang up more than $25,000 in earnings on the WCT this season. “They’ve had a very good season,” Folk said of the Pierce rink which also features Kevin Recksiedler and Grant Dezura. “They’ve won at least one bonspiel and been close in some others. They have four really good curlers.” Other rinks in the field include former B.C. champs Sean Geall and Peachey, 2011 finalist Neil Dangerfield of Victoria, Tom Buchy of Kimberley, and Creston’s Tom Shypitka. This is the first time Curl B.C. has used a 16rink format, increasing the number from 10 last year. The final will be played Sunday, Feb. at 5 p.m. For up-to-date scores during the event, go to www.playdowns.com

Kelowna Chiefs wind down regular season With five games remaining in the regular season, the Kelowna Chiefs still have time to move up a notch or two in the KIJHL’s Okanagan Division standings. The Chiefs are in fourth spot, just a point back of third-place Penticton and two back of second-place Princeton. The Osoyoos Coy-

otes lead the division, five points ahead of the Kelowna. The top two teams at season’s end will earn home ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. The Chiefs (24-19-04) return to action Friday when they visit Osoyoos. Saturday, Kelowna will visit the Kamloops

Storm. Last Saturday night, Dane Rupert had a goal and two assists as Kelowna downed the Summerland Steam 4-3. On Friday night, the Chiefs wiped out Penticton 6-0. Rupert and Landon Andrusiak each had a goal and two assists, while Tyler O’Donnell stopped 24 shots for the shutout.

Owls to ‘take it up a notch’ Owls from A15 “It’s a wake-up call for us and for our younger guys. Maybe we’re not quite as good as we thought, so it’s time to take it up a notch…time to really step it up heading into the final weeks so we can go out and get what we’ve want-

ed all along.” Goodwin, who led all players with a 28.3 pointsper-game average during the tournament, was named the Owls top player. Bunce, who grabbed 38 rebounds over three games, was the top defensive player for KSS.

Grade 11 guard Joel Burma was named the Owls’ most inspirational player. Both Goodwin and Bunce were named to the tournament’s first all-star team. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Building blocks M for food bank The Canstruction fundraiser in support of the Kelowna Community Food Bank and Salvatiom Army began Monday at Orchard Park Shopping Centre. The Feb. 6 to 12 event pits a number of contestants who have taken on the challenge to build their own structure from donated nonperishable food items they have collected. The groups began working on their engineering creations on Monday, and will have until Wednesday, 6 p.m., to finish their design plans using canned goods. An award ceremony for the winners will be held Saturday, Feb. 11, 4 to 4:30 p,m., and the structures will remain on public display through Feb. 12 at which time the food is donated to the food banks. Canstruction is an international event committed to ending hunger. Since 1992, Canstruction has contributed over 15 million pounds of food to community food banks demonstrating that we can win the fight against hunger. Canstruction Kelowna is a partnership between the Rotary Club of Kelowna, the Rotary Club of Kelowna Foundation, SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise), The Kelowna Community Food Bank, and The Kelowna Salvation Army. “It is one of those events that has to be seen to be believed,” said Robin Smith, spokesperson for Canstruction Kelowna. “These structures are truly amazing—the public is invited to view the competition from construction right through to decanstruction. We encourage the public to vote for their favourite sculpture either in person or online at www.kelownacanstruction.com.” The competing teams include Dorothea Walker Elementary School, Save-On-Foods, SIFE, UBC Okanagan Engineering, Kelowna Rotaract, Waterplay, T.R.A.D.E.S., and the Women’s Place. This year’s theme is , “Love CAN,” in recognition of Valentine’s Day.

ost employers likely believe that an employee given working notice of termination and who refuses to keep working has forfeited any legal claim to damages. They likely would have been correct in that belief, until now. British Columbia’s Court of Appeal has issued a judgment stating that—in some circumstances—an employee given working notice can refuse to work and will not lose the right to sue for wrongful dismissal. This is a bit of a complicated matter that seems to tilt the playing field somewhat in employees’ favour. The basis of the law of wrongful dismissal is an employee’s right to receive reasonable working notice of termination. Unless an employee’s rights have been properly altered by contract or there is just cause for summary dismissal, the employer must to provide reasonable working notice of termination. What is “reasonable” depends on the circumstances. The courts take into

Robert Smithson account factors such as the employee’s age, tenure of employment, position, extent of managerial responsibilities, and likely difficulty in finding new employment. When an employer fails, or refuses, to provide reasonable working notice, the employee can sue for damages for wrongful dismissal. The “wrongful” part is the employer’s failure to provide the required amount of working notice and the damages the employee can obtain are the monetary equivalent of that lost notice period. In return for reasonable working notice, employees have historically been required to continue to perform their usual tasks and duties during that notice period.

ing notice period they were treated as having forfeited the right to claim damages for wrongful dismissal. So, the employer is obligated to give reasonable working notice and the employee is obligated to keep working. Seems sensible, right? Not always, according to the B.C. Court of Appeal. Raymond Giza, 61, had been a bus driver for the Sechelt School Bus Service Ltd. for five years. In 2009, his employer gave him approximately five weeks’ working notice of termination. In response, Giza drove to the bus terminal, parked his bus, left his job and didn’t return. He then sued for wrongful dismissal. At trial, the B.C. Supreme Court did what employers would expect—it rejected his claim on the basis that, by walking away from his job, he had disqualified himself from receiving damages. The Supreme Court stated: “(T)here is no reason why Mr. Giza could

not have continued to work through the period of reasonable notice. Mr. Giza failed to do so, and as a result, quit his employment before it ended. Therefore, he is not entitled to damages for wrongful dismissal.” His appeal of that decision produced a different, and perhaps puzzling, result. It determined that, although Giza failed to work through the working notice provided to him, he was not prevented from suing for damages. The Court of Appeal stated: “In classic terms, (Giza) evidenced an intention not to be bound by the contract, but that did not deprive him of his right to damages for the respondent’s breach of contract in giving him inadequate notice.” The critical element seems to have been that the five weeks’ working notice given to Giza was clearly insufficient. The two courts agreed on that point. In all of the circumstances, Giza was entitled to working notice in the

range of six months. The employer’s error was, apparently, in thinking it only needed to provide him the five weeks’ notice mandated by B.C.’s Employment Standards Act. The Court of Appeal found that Giza’s “right to damages in lieu of reasonable notice had accrued when he was given inadequate notice.” His repudiation— by walking away—apparently did not take away that right. This would seem to be the judicial equivalent of pointing at the employer and saying, “You started it!” In the end, Giza took away his damages in lieu of reasonable notice. The employer took away the lesson that, when contemplating giving working notice of termination, it should seek advice about what is reasonable in the circumstances.

STOLEN! A little red cart similar to the one pictured here was taken while the Capital News carrier was delivering the Thursday, Feb 2nd edition late Thursday afternoon. There were still some newspapers, flyers and a few pop cans in the cart at the time. As a result of this, the carrier was unable to finish his route. If anyone in the area of Flemish St., Lawson Ave and 1400 block of Gordon Dr., sees this cart would you please give the Capital News a call at (250)-763-7575 or the carrier at (250)-860-1998. The carrier saved his money for months to buy this cart, and cannot afford to buy another one to replace it. Thank you.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen f i t for a Valentine Food is an important part of a celebration for those you love. In fact, love is an important ingredient in any recipe. I love to cook for people I love. So, special foods are in order for a St. Valentine’s Day dinner. With that in mind, my sweetie and I did some early experimenting so I could offer you a suggestion for something nice to serve for a Valentine’s Day dinner, and we found both of the experiments were pretty good, so I’ve included them below. Historically, the facts don’t support any link between actual saints named Valentine and the professions of love for which Feb. 14 is now known, but don’t let that stop you from having fun. Although traditionally it’s a day for sending love letters, I’m just as enthusiastic about making chocolate hearts for members of my family as a symbol of my love for them. (See next week’s column for that recipe… or pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen.) Romantic dinners are another tradition and one that holds even more interest for me than inedible pieces of red, heart-shaped paper, even if there are sweet words on that paper. I’m sure many lovers and valentines will agree with me, so if you’re not taking your valentine out to dinner for Valentine’s Day, do have a nice, intimate dinner together where you can discuss your hopes and dreams or reminisce about the good times you’ve been through together. I always think a fondue is the ideal Valentine’s Day meal because of the perfect opportunity it presents to linger over a slowly-cooked meal, maintain eye contact over the pot of bubbling food, and tangle your forks. Remember that if you should lose your bit of food off your fork into the pot, you must kiss your sweetie. Whatever you do or however you celebrate the upcoming St. Valentine’s Day, have fun and spread the love. JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Chorizo, Spinach & Cheese We couldn’t decide which flavours we wanted in our filling, so we tried two different ones, but used the same base. If you make both, use half the amount of the second half of the filling, to the amount of the base. We tried fresh, local Okanagan chicken from Johnny’s Meats and were really impressed by the moist, large breasts and the flavour. The price was comparable to other stores. 2-4 chicken breasts salt and fresh-ground black pepper 1 chorizo sausage 4 green onions 4 c. (1 l) baby spinach leaves drizzle of oil Open up the chicken breasts by using a sharp knife, held parallel to your cutting surface, to slice into the thickest portion of the breast, but do not cut all the way through. Open it up and repeat with the others. The number of breasts depends on their size and the number you’re feeding. Four small or two large would be about right for this amount of filling.

Very gently, pound out the breasts so they are a consistent thickness and season with salt and pepper. Cut chorizo sausage (a hot Italian sausage) lengthwise into four sticks, then chop them up to make about 3/4 of a cup of bits. Trim and chop the green onions and clean and slice up the spinach. Heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat in an oven-safe frypan and add the sausage bits. Cook for about five or so minutes (if your chorizo is fatty, drain it off at this point) and add the green onions and spinach, cooking and giving the occasional stir until the spinach has just wilted down. Remove from the heat. Cool and divide amongst the flattened chicken pieces.

MEDITERRANEAN This has a much stronger flavour, but we liked it the best. 6 sun-dried tomatoes, packed in olive oil 6 tbsp. (90 ml) crumbled feta cheese 1 tsp. (5 ml) basil from a tube

or a handful of fresh leaves drizzle of oil olive oil or proscuitto Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Mince the tomatoes and arrange over the chorizo mixture, then crumble the feta cheese evenly over top. Squeeze basil from a tube, or use fresh leaves over the top. Roll up or fold over the breast on top of the stuffing and secure with a toothpick, if needed. Heat a drizzle more oil in the frypan over medium-high heat and briefly brown the stuffed breasts, turning once, and ending with the top up. Spray the top with olive oil, or drape a thin slice of proscuitto on top of each. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts. Don’t overcook. Slice to serve. Serves 4.

ITALIAN This has a more delicate flavour, ramped

up with the spicy chorizo. Substitute different Italian cheeses, such as romano or fresh parmesan to add a little more flavour to this. 2 tbsp. (30 ml) fresh, flat-leaf parsley 1 large garlic clove 1/2 c. (125 ml) grated provolone cheese drizzle of oil olive oil or proscuitto Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Mince the parsley and the garlic and grate the cheese. Arrange each evenly over the chorizo mixture on the chicken and roll up or fold over the breast, enclosing the filling. Secure with a toothpick, if needed. Heat a drizzle more oil in the frypan over medium-high heat and briefly brown the stuffed breast, turning once, ending with the top up. Spray with olive oil or drape a thin slice of proscuitto on top of each. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts. Don’t overcook. Slice to serve. Serves 4.
