Enforcing KGH parking rules plan outlined
Cop’s assault trial begins
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna is turning to education and increased enforcement rather than prohibition in its bid to deal with the controversial issue of parking in the residential neighbourhood around Kelowna General Hospital. On Monday, council opted to hold off introducing a resident parking only restriction on the side streets around the hospital until it sees the results of other measures, such as better signs, improving the residents parking permit program, changing the time limits and enforcing those limits better. The residential parking only rule was suggested by area residents, upset by hospital visitors clogging their streets with parked vehicles. Tracy MacDonald, with the Interior Health Authority, said the hospital has about 1,000 spaces now and will have another 200 within the next year. She agreed with Coun. Robert Hobson that a second parkade on site may have to be looked at in the future, but money for that is not available now as it is estimated to cost up to $5 million to build. “I see at least a decade of construction going on at the hospital and parking will continue to be an issue,” said Hobson. MacDonald said IHA encourages its staff to use a free IHA lot on Ethel Street—a 10 minute walk away— and said there is currently a clause in the contract with the company building the new surgical tower and the clinical support building across Pandosy Street that construction workers park at least one kilometre way. In presenting his report to council, Doug Gilchirst, director of real estate and building services for the city, said in addition to more and better signs, a communications strategy, two-hour time limits for parking on streets around KGH between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and renting parking at nearby Strathcona Park to the IHA during the winter to provide more staff parking, there would also be the towing of vehicles parked within two metres of a fire hydrant and six metres of a crosswalk or stop sign and towing after four parking offences instead of the current 10 infractions. That policy will also be used for the city towing See Plan A7

OFF TO THE SHREDDER…Paul Meredith, with Okanagan Paper Shredding Inc., dumps out a bag of papers to be shredded at the Community Document Shredding Event held last Saturday. Proceeds from the event will go towards various programs supported by the Kelowna Crime Prevention Association.
A Kelowna Mountie charged with assault relating to a 2010 Valentine’s Day melee was in court Monday, for the first of a three-day trial. Witnesses to the incident testified that alleged victim, Kyle Nelson ran into trouble with Const. Chris Brinnen around 2 a.m., Feb. 15, 2010, =after the two men exchanged verbal barbs and a middlefinger salute. “(Nelson) said ‘what are you standing around for?’” recalled Crown Counsel’s first witness, nursing student Kaitlynne Lang, who was among the six friends Nelson had gone out with that night. “Then he said, ‘You finger me, I’ll finger you.’” Nelson then flipped the bird in the direction of the six-or-so officers standing around their cars, awaiting the bar flush, and within moments the situation escalated. Nelson started running down Leon Avenue away from the clubs, while Const. Brinnen, a 14-year veteran of the police force, got into his unmarked poSee Trial A4

Downtown group plans to back Gray
The study of story structure
Kathy Michaels
No one could ever accuse Leo Tolstoy of creating a light read when he penned War and Peace, but the latest exhibit at the Kelowna Art Gallery suggests the story isn’t the only weighty construct within those pages. Halifax-based artist Steve Higgins has a unique view on how societies are built. Using sculpture, printmaking and charcoal drawings, he deconstructs and manipulates, warps and unfurls our world in an exhibit finishing its national tour at the Kelowna Art Gallery over the next two months. “I’m really interested in structure—whether that’s political structure, hierarchical structure, or power structures,� Higgins said from the gallery where he helped open the show Friday. Looking at War and Peace, he explained, presented an interesting opportunity to examine the physical text of the books used to tell a soci-

As the municipal election date nears, once silent supporters are coming out of the shadows to use their influence for those they say best represent Kelowna’s needs. First out of the gate was FourChange.org, a group which announced they’d be backing a slate of four business friendly council candidates. Now a group of three behind the Save Downtown Kelowna Alliance are throwing their weight behind a mayoral candidate they also believe has a business friendly bent, although their focus is downtown-centric. “Well, put it this way: Sharon Shepherd thinks the downtown core ‘is just fine the way it is,’ and Walter Gray thinks we need some significant improvement,� said Dale Manton, one of the group’s founding members. “You do the math. Our opinion is that without a major injection of time, energy, money, intent and development, our downtown core is in a lot of trouble.� Manton points out that there’s nothing wrong with the Bernard Avenue stretch, but Leon and Lawrence Avenue now have more closed than open businesses and that’s a blight on the city. “There’s been no growth in that area whatsoever in the last six years and it doesn’t seem they’re at all concerned with revitalizing it,� he said, adding all the conversations and planning sessions in the world won’t amount to a shovel in the ground. That, he said, has unfortunate spinoffs. Crime, he said, is one of the spin-offs of that lack of investment and he said few are willing to even walk those streets in the late evening hours. The group also believes that further investment in the downtown will lead to further opportunities for the community’s youth, who continually leave for greener pastures. While the mayor position is one key element of changing the political climate, they’ve also panned their focus to council candidates and have issued a questionnaire to the dozens of council candidates running. They’ve asked what they would do to improve things if they were to get elected. The responses are listed on savedowntownkelowna.com. A decision on whether they’ll be backing a set of candidates that represents their concerns should be made by the three-person steering committee this week. “Our main goal is informing people of what the issues are, and what the downtown concerns are, and where the candidates stand,� said Manton. “In the past there hasn’t been enough communication for the public so they could be properly informed on what the candidates stand for.� kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
ety’s story, going beyond the meaning of the text to look at the book itself. Tracing the “rivers of white,� as type-setters would call them, Higgins illustrates another side of War and Peace—the structure of information. A river of white is the little squiggle of clear space between words that seem to take on a shape of their own, like small worms wriggling through the page in a design inadvertently laid out by the typesetter. Using the infamously dense text of War and Peace, Higgins traces these rivers of white on each page of the book to form the foundation of a print series built solely from the physical makeup of a story. “What that revealed to me was that there was a subliminal structure to that book,� he said. “And that subliminal structure destroyed the narrative altogether.� He worked on acetate, drawing between the lines over and over again with a pen in a process so exhausting he often resorted to the veil of sunglasses to

All three sections of this exhibit—entitled All Things Considered: Thoughts about Cities and Histories, and War and Peace—were incredibly labour intensive, he admitted. On the back walls of the gallery are wallsized charcoal collages of steel structure that look as though they’ve been crumpled together, the pieces of bridge and building and skyscraper mashing into dense scrap as though ripped from a sketch pad. Higgins hand-cut stencils for each line from drawing paper, placing new marks onto the paper’s surface in a process that took sever-
al months per drawing to complete. In front of this backdrop a series of sculptures, similar to architects models in scope, illustrate what these steel elements look like when properly laid out as city planners and architects, corporations and governments do. Higgins spray-painted each three-dimensional model after laying out the structures to illuminate the dehumanizing elements of built cities. Each model shows a redaction of the power structures which allow skyscrapers to separate people and suggest freeways should take precedence over existing neighbourhoods. “Ultimately what
I’m interested in is how those structures suggest an ideology,� he said, noting that somehow industrialization has illuminated people’s right to chose how we live. One sculpture inspired by Paris, for example, looks at how squaring off large boulevards creates control, allowing police to slip easily into living quarters and ensuring the reining rulers never face threat of an unseen uprising—even if it means the beauty of the less planned, medieval neighbourhoods is lost. Higgins’ work will be on display at the Kelowna Art Gallery through Dec. 31, and has shown in three other Canadian cities. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
Accelerate Okanagan gets $2.1 million boost Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The governments of Canada and B.C. are helping Accelerate Okanagan speed up its goal of supporting the growth of local technology companies with a $2.1 million investment. Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan announced the investment at the official opening of Accelerate Okanagan on
Saturday. The funding will come over three years and will be used to deliver support programs to highgrowth technology companies across the Okanagan. According to Cannan, it was made possible through the Western Economic Partnership Agreement. “Our government’s priority is working on creating jobs in our economy, this means focusing on the knowledge industry

Accelerate Okanagan is a not-for-profit organization that supports the acceleration of local startups in the gaming, animation, mobile, web, life sciences and clean energy sectors. Dr. Moira Stilwell, B.C. Parliamentary Secretary for Industry, Research and Innovation, credited Accelerate Okanagan for creating three success-

They’re lining up to take advantage of AO’s support for entrepreneurs, from coaching and mentorship to networking to learning the nuts and bolts of how to build a business,� said Stilwell. “Our government is looking forward to the companies that will start
up here, accelerate and grow with AO’s help.� Accelerate Okanagan CEO Jason Neale said that the investment will help the organization continue its success. “We’ve (already) facilitated an environment to enable the creation of 83 high technology jobs.

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. Dr. Wikenheiser is a licensed Naturopathic Physician.

She said that she wasn’t thrilled about the light that’s been shone on the occupiers. “Discontent has to be expressed.

membered saying; “Oh my gosh, what’s happening?” A second police officer sidled up to her left, she testified, and offered an answer: “Don’t worry, the dogs will get him and chew his legs off, into pieces.” A short exchange ensued, and the petite blonde said she then put her hands on the police officer’s vest to stop him from continuing on. “Then he threw me to the ground, handcuffed me and charged me with assault,” she said. A trial was scheduled, but charges were ultimately stayed. As Dyer was taken into police custody, the four remaining friends who had gotten together for some live music and dancing that Valentine’s Day, walked to the local detachment and came upon Nelson on Bernard Avenue. “His hands were bloody, his right hip was scratched, the skin around his eye was blue and his clothes were torn,” said Lang. Reunited they all then went to the police station to try and retrieve Dyer, who was released at 6 a.m. Crown Counsel Joel Gold’s first two witnesses said nobody in the group of six was drinking heavily. Nelson was supposed to be the designated driver for at least four of the group and he only had a couple drinks. Conversely, Brinnen’s defence lawyer, Neville McDougall, pointed out that Nelson’s decision to “finger” police and jump up and down was abnormal. Nelson, McDougall said, has been described as rambunctious, although his behaviour that night may have warranted stronger words. The girls didn’t agree, although Lang said she was surprised by his behaviour that night. Nelson is expected to testify Tuesday.

KGH area parking plan developed Plan from A1 vehicles throughout the rest of city. He added the city now has a full-time traffic bylaw officer for the area. Coun. Charlie Hodge noted there is already resident parking only along Royal Avenue, and Gilchrist said there is no plan to end that restriction. But he said it is not proposed that the restriction be extended either because roads are meant for all Kelowna residents, he said. Hodge was also opposed to renting out Strathcona Park parking because it is currently used by people with respiratory problems who enter the respiratory clinic in the area. His bid to have it removed failed and because of that, he voted against the entire parking plan. Coun. Luke Stack called the recommendations needed “short-term” steps, adding he had been told by residents the provision of a new KGH area traffic bylaw officer has helped. Coun.

The city will re-evaluate the changes in six months. It will also consider a parking strategy for the hospital area as part of a future overall parking strategy for the city. KGH currently has 2,500 employees, is operational 24 hours a day and sees an average of 55,000 patients per year, with a similar number that attend as outpatients and attend clinics. Those numbers do not include people who visit patients at the hospital.
A man convicted of fatally running down one pedestrian and injuring another who were walking alongside Benvoulin Road in 2007, has been acquitted on appeal. Damian De Ciantis, 30, had appealed his 2009 conviction of dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm for a fatal incident involving three pedestrians, around 7:30 p.m., Feb. 21, 2007. That night Kim Black, 50, was killed after DeCiantis veered onto the shoulder and hit him. Black was thrown 75 metres, and Russell Leon was knocked out of his medical scooter, leaving him with a broken shoul-

der, leg and pelvis. A third pedestrian, Keri Chandler, was uninjured. Three judges of the B.C. Court of Appeal, in a ruling released Friday, acquitted De Ciantis, finding the trial judge’s verdict was unreasonable and not supported by the evidence. “This was a tragic accident, but the driving in question was not such that it should attract criminal liability,” reads the decision from Justice Elizabeth Bennet. “I would allow the appeal and enter an acquittal on each count. Mr. De Ciantis’ driving was not
prudent and ill-judged. “My conclusion should not be taken as condoning his conduct,
but is merely a finding that it did not meet the threshold for a criminal conviction.”

W OUR VIEW
This is what democracy looks like
T
he “Occupy (fill in the blank)” cultists are famous for moronic chants and holding uninformed ideas, but they do, unwittingly, hold one view that is unassailably true. When the self-proclaimed 99 per cent repeat that “this is what democracy looks like” they are absolutely correct. The brief history of the movement, such as it is, is a case study of democracy in action, and demonstrates why we are blessed that we don’t live in one.
Symptoms of direct democracy are evident everywhere in the Occupy movement. The growing piles of filth, the inability of the group to agree on what they stand for and the rise of an elite within the so-called 99 per cent are predictable. Just as predicable is the collapse of the movement into disarray and violence. This is what democracy looks like. The system the Occupy folks say they would like to dismantle is one that protects the rights of minority factions. It is a system
that recognizes that rights are granted not by “General Assemblies,” but exist in each individual as “natural law” — the 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights and our (otherwise dysfunctional) Canadian Constitution recognize rights as being granted by God. It is not a democracy. It is a system of constitutional monarchy with democratically chosen representatives. We’ve had nearly eight centuries to experiment with the alternative systems such as the Occupy people want, and found all but
the one we have lead to totalitarianism, dictatorship and abuse of minorities. Were the Occupiers to live in the societies they propose, some Occupiers would have disappeared by now, and many would be in custody. The rights they enjoy under the existing system would be summarily suspended—particularly if we were a true democracy. In a true democracy, the majority would have voted long ago to eliminate the minority Occupy groups.

Generalities, rhetoric about incumbents ‘don’t cut it’ A few weeks ago, during the early days of the current civic election campaign, I was asked how I defined leadership when it comes to being a member of a city council. My answer was simple: Show up and make decisions. Of course, depending on which side of the political fence you sit on, you may not like the decisions that are made. That’s fair enough. But elected officials should do what they were elected to do. Kelowna mayoral candidate Walter Gray is right when he says not making decisions in unacceptable.
But in this camCITY er simple definition of paign, there is a growit appears CONFIDENTIAL leadership, ing, albeit incorrect, to have struck a chord perception that the curwith at least one inrent Kelowna councumbent councillor. cil is indecisive.

figures showing he, Reid-Nagy, Rule and Craig have been showing up, in some cases more than their other five colleagues, four of whom the group says it is supporting. Just like a good attendance record in school, it’s more important what you do while you are there than simply parking your butt in a seat. But as they used to say in lotto ads, if you’re not in, you can’t win. So there is something to be said for showing up. It’s time those who are telling voters it’s time for a change to be called upon to explain why there’s the need, what will change and how their elec-
tion will make a difference. With a 40-candidate field, that’s a tall order and there are plenty of voters out there to reach. There are issues this council needs to address and explanations needed for why it has acted in certain ways. But generalities about change, rhetoric about “balancing” council and accusations about a lack of decision-making just don’t cut it. Voters deserve more than that.

W HIT AND RUN EPIDEMIC
No emergency vet care program for injured service dog guides in B.C. Open letter to B.C. Minister of Social Development Stephanie Cadieux and Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart: On Oct. 14, 2011, at about 4 p.m., I was crossing a marked intersection at the corner of the 3700 block Gellatly Road and Carrington Road in West Kelowna with my hearing ear service dog guide when a young male motorist drove through the stop sign and ran over my service dog. I was able to pull my dog free from under his vehicle, and when I had cleared this motorist’s path he struck me twice more before he finally drove onto Gellatly Road and sped off onto Highway 97 without stopping. With the assistance of another motorist, who stopped and kindly assisted me, I attended to my dog guide and was able to acquire the licence and description of the hit and run vehicle. I immediately contacted the West Kelowna RCMP, who never attended at the acci-
dent scene. They returned my call on Sunday, Oct. 16, to inform me they had “spoken to the young male driver and issued him a warning.” No charges for hit and run, no charges for leaving the scene of an accident—zilch. On Oct. 15, I contacted the B.C. SPCA Kelowna branch to request medical attention for my service dog guide as I had no finances being on BC PWD mid-month to afford a veterinarian fee of about $80. The attendant at the SPCA told me in order to “qualify for medical intervention” I would have to relinquish custody and ownership of a $30,000 dog guide to the B.C. SPCA. I was absolutely appalled that a non-profit organization would ever try and pull this kind of nonsense, based on the fact I am a disabled person with no financial means to afford emergency care in the event my service dog guide becomes injured. As you are no doubt aware as minister of social services, there is no legislation in place
in B.C. to provide any form of emergency veterinary care for any service animal for someone like myself on PWD or Social Assistance in B.C., unlike Manitoba and many other less affluent provinces across Canada. I believe immediate legislation is required to implement a veterinary care program for all service dog guides in B.C. I am going to request that other persons that have a service dog guide write their MLAs and get this legislation passed immediately. If this province can afford to pay a former premier Gordon Campbell $300,000 a year in pension benefits to suck up gin and tonics in London Town, we certainly should be able to cover a few veterinarian charges a year in B.C. where required for the disabled population employing these service animals.

Parent with teen suffering anxiety wants mental health issues brought into the light I also found out that once I did bring up the issue of mental health, just how it has affected so many families but was not discussed a lot—stigma. The support system I have dealt with here in Kelowna has been excellent, from the doctors and councillors in the area of mental health to the school system and the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development. Some of these people have gone far above and beyond the call of duty in helping out our daughter. They truly care and it shows in their efforts. What we have found the most frustrating to deal with at the outset is having to explain and hopefully overcome the stigma of dealing with mental health issues with our families and friends. I certainly do not blame them as I would be in the same position and mindset, coupled with a lack of knowledge, if I was not dealing with the issue myself. There is no doubt that education for the public is the key and that will only happen when the media and school system show a commitment to assist in providing it. I understand the province of Ontario is now looking at a program for their school system that will provide a mandatory course on mental health

W ERADICATING STIGMA
To the editor: Re; Letter to the editor of the Capital News dated Nov. 4, 2011, from Shelagh Turner. I agree with Shelagh Turner, executive director of the Canadian Mental Health Association, Kelowna branch, in voicing her concern about a lack of coverage in the media in regards to battling the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness. I have a teenage daughter that has recently been suffering with a mental illness that induces a high level of anxiety associated with deep depression. My experience with any loved ones or friends ones dealing with a similar situation was nonexistent and my knowledge on how to deal with it was the same. I am sure many of your readers are in a similar situation. After much research and discussions with mental health professionals, I was amazed to find out how prolific this problem is and how many people have to deal with it at some point in their lives. I learned how important it is to recognize early symptoms so it can be treated. Mental illness, like most other illnesses, benefit greatly from being recognized and being treated earlier in the illness rather than later.

issues for their students as a lot of mental health issues can begin during the adolescent years. I applaud this and believe that this should be mandatory in all schools. When a person is dealing with a mental health issue support from family and friends is crucial and can greatly assist in recovery and yes—100 per cent recovery is very possible and is the goal of the mental health care professionals. I frequently see support through the various media outlets for children that are suffering from various illnesses that involve fundraising or showing support by shaving their hair for cancer victims, as an example, and find it heart-warming and certainly a selfless show of caring and supportiveness from their friends and family. With mental illness, a simple phone call or an e-mail or text, just to let a person know that they are being thought of and that you still care is hugely beneficial. Maybe even take the time to go out and see a movie with them or spend a couple hours shopping with them. My biggest heartbreak was watching my daughter’s reaction when her friends drifted away. She felt very lonely and abandoned. It is not her friends’ fault. They do
not know how to deal with it. It is our fault as a society for not teaching them how to. And to parents of children who might know someone that is dealing with a mental health issue—a child who may not be coming around your home much anymore or who maybe is not attending school because they are too anxious to show up—I would like to suggest that you discuss the situation with your child and see if they would like to help to assist their friend in recovery. Call the parents if you have any concerns. They will appreciate it. A situation with lots of people present is not a good idea with someone dealing with any anxiety issues.
A one-on-one outing or meeting is preferable. And lastly, a child dealing with a mental illness like depression or anxiety is not anymore likely to be involved with any confrontational issue than someone without an illness. In fact, the opposite is true. Education programs by our school system and coverage by the media is critical in teaching the public about mental health issues and assisting the families and children suffering from this illness from removing the stigma attached to it and is extremely beneficial in elevating the road to recovery. I would like to withhold my name as to not put my daughter’s name out to her peers at school.

Owls host B.C. field hockey championship this week Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Arnar Bernhardsson didn’t need to spend a lot of time motivating his players to be prepared for provincials. As the host team this week for the B.C. high school girls AAA field hockey championship, the Kelowna Owls have saved their best for last. “All my players are excited to showcase their stuff and they’re ready to play,” said Bernhardsson, the Owls head coach. “They’ve improved tremendously since the start of the year, and they’re hungry to get on the pitch and show what they can do.” The Owls, ranked No. 6 in province, will get it going bright and early on Wednesday morning when they battle 11thranked McMath Secondary at 7:30 a.m. on the artificial turf by the Capital News Centre. KSS will continue pool play Wednesday at 1:45 p.m. against No. 15 Charles Best, then will battle No. 2 South Delta on Thursday at 10 a.m. at CNC. The playoffs will begin Thursday afternoon. Handsworth is ranked No.1, South Delta is second, with Carson Graham No. 3. The 16-team tour-
nament will also feature games at UBC Okanagan’s Nonis Field. With just one Grade 12 player on the roster—captain Chelsea Marshall— it’s safe to say the Owls will be among the youngest teams at provincials. But based on their progress from the start
of the season, their conditioning, and being on home turf, Bernhardsson expects his club to challenge for a top-eight finish. “We took some trips this year, played some top teams and really improved,” said Bernhardsson.

CAPTAIN CHELSEA MARHSALL and the
Kelowna Owls open the B.C. high school girls AAA field hockey championship Wednesday morning on the artificial turf at CNC.
“We played all the top five teams, we didn’t win any of those, but we were close in all of them. I think for the girls, finishing in the top half is pretty realistic and anything higher, we would be pretty happy with that.” From an organizational standpoint, Bernhardsson said Kelowna’s version of provincials just might rival the best ever held in B.C. He credits longtime field hockey coach and advocate Lorne Buna for his tireless efforts in putting the pieces together for the three-day event. “His contributions to field hockey in the province are unbelievable and he’s done a tremendous job in making the event a major class-act,” Bernhardsson said. “The programs are top quality, we’ll have a photographer at the banquet, teams will be piped in for the final, the players will be introduced by name—they’re all things that are going to make it a better production that in the past. Lorne has stepped it up a notch and we think people coming in will be impressed and remember these provincials.” The championship final is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. on the artificial turf in the Mission (CNC). whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Top skaters from throughout B.C. and Yukon will be competing for podium spots at this season’s provincial championships, as well as vying for qualifying spots to the Skate Canada Challenge event held at Regina in December. A total of 237 entries will be competing in Women’s Singles, Men’s Singles, and Dance events, ranging from the Pre Juvenile level to the Senior level. The Junior and Senior events will feature many skaters that have previously won Na-
tional medalists, as well as International and World competitors. The host KSC will have 27 entries, which represents the highest number competing at a Sectional Championships in the club’s history. The majority of skaters are entered in Women’s Singles events from the PreJuvenile through Senior ranks. “We have ery deep fields in both the Pre-Novice and Novice Women’s events”, notes KSC Director Jason Mongrain. “Considering the fact that these events are also usually the most competitive in terms of high numbers competing for few spots, they should make for very exciting events.” One of the events to watch is the senior men, with the strongest field in

With a four-game Western Hockey League losing skid on the books, life doesn’t get a whole lot easier this week for the Kelowna Rockets as two of the Eastern Conference’s top teams come calling. The Red Deer Rebels (11-4-0-1) pay a visit to Prospera Place on Wednesday, while the Edmonton Oil Kings (10-5-1-1) make a stop in Kelowna on Friday. Then on Saturday, the Rockets (5-10-1-1) hit the road for a date with the B.C. Division rival Vancouver Giants. Paced by the goal-
tending of Patrick Bartosek (1.90 goals against average), the Rebels have yielded just 38 goals this season, the third least in the WHL. Swedish winger John Persson (19 points) leads the Red Deer offense, while veteran Alex Petrovic (11 assists) and top draft-eligible prospect Mathew Dumba (6g, 7a) anchor the blueline. Edmonton is led by 19-year-old defenceman Mark Pysyk, and veteran forwards T.J. Foster and Michael St. Croix (17 points each). Meanwhile, the Rockets were swept at home over the weekend by the Portland Winterhawks. On Friday, forward
Brett Bulmer—back from the NHL’s Minnesota Wild—had four points in his WHL season debut but the Rockets managed just a single point in a 6-5 shootout loss. Jordon Cooke was solid in goal for Kelowna facing 49 shots. On Saturday, Derrick Pouliot scored twice in a 3-1 Winterhawks win, sending Kelowna to its 12th loss in the last 14 games. The Rockets continue to battle the injury bug as D Kevin Smith, F Spencer Main, D Jesse Lees and F Carter Rigby remained sidelined on the weekend.
Chiefs four-game win streak The Kelowna Chiefs will look to run their KIJHL winning a streak to five games Tuesday night when they take on the Penticton Lakers. Face off at the South Okanagan Events Centre is 7 p.m.
After a tough early season stretch which saw them lose nine of 10 games, the Chiefs look to have hit their stride. Kelowna ran its win streak to four over the weekend with a pair of victories to pull out of the
basement of the Okanagan Divison of the KIJHL. On Friday, Kelowna downed the Steam 9-5 in Summerland. Landon Andrusiak paced the Chiefs (8-10-0) with two goals and three assists, while T.J. Dumonceaux

something we’re going to have to work on—our starts,” said Warriors head coach Rylan Ferster. “I’ll take full responsibility for that.” The Warriors found their game midway through the first period and were finally rewarded when Shawn Hochausen notched his third of the season. The Warriors tied it 8:07 into the second period on a Warriors power-
play as Josh Monk’s slapshot from the right point appeared to deflect off a Smokies stick and past Vogt, however, the goal was credited to Richard Vanderhoek, his fifth of the season. After that, the game turned nasty. Travis Blanleil left the game with what appeared to be a head injury after he was sucker punched by a Trail player during a scrum in the Smoke Eaters end. Hocchausen picked up a major penalty for a check from behind and a game misconduct after he drilled a Smokies player into the side boards. Trail was not penalized for the punch, although Ferster said the Warriors may send a copy of the tape in to the league for further discipline. Westside outshot the Smoke Eaters 35-28 on the night.

kets to a thrilling 5-4 win over the Cariboo Cougars. That came a day after the Cougars scored a late goal to tie the Rockets 4-4. “We moved forward in the standings this weekend but more importantly we came together as a team,” said Rockets head coach James Eccles. “Overall our guys came out and played intense and to the game plan.” Bowles, who moved to Kelowna from Calgary this season, had one of his best weekends for the Rockets as he posted three goals and two assists while 17 year old forward Mat Lambert continued his strong play and picked up his 4th and 5th goals of the season. The Rockets improved to 6-4-2 on the season and sit in fifth place in the BCMML. Rockets general manager David Michaud said the weekend showed the Rockets coming together nicely after a slow start to the season. “We played some good hockey against a very good hockey team this weekend, I’m proud of guy’s and the work they put in,” said Michaud. “Things are starting to come together for us. We just have to find a way to keep the momentum going. We are a very good team ourselves and I think people around the league are starting to take notice.” The Rockets will now prepare to face the South Island Thunderbirds in Victoria this weekend.

Heat v’ball men off to 3-1 start Defending champs take 2 from Heat women Two weeks into their inaugural season of CIS competition, the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s volleyball squad doesn’t look a bit out of place. Despite a 3-0 loss (2725, 25-20, 25-21) to the UBC Thunderbirds on Saturday night in Kelowna, the Heat are now 3-1 in Canada West action. In the second match of the weekend between the teams, Thunderbirds’ freshman outside hitter Noah Derksen dominated with eight kills out of 19 total attacks. The Heat’s starters struggled against the Thunderbirds’ pressure.
Fourth-year outside hitter Nate Speijer, who amassed 61 kills in his first three games, managed only seven kills versus UBC. Fellow fourth year outside hitter Riley McFarland, who had 51 kills in his first three games was held to nine. “Near the end we had to make a change,” said Heat coach Greg Poitras. “A couple of the guys who were performing for us last night weren’t performing for us tonight. (UBC Vancouver) proved that we have to come out hard. They made two big changes in their line up and the guys who came
off their bench were game changers.” UBC Okanagan outside hitter Greg Niemantsverdriet drove the Heat’s efforts against the Thunderbirds Saturday with 12 kills of 31 attempts and a .323 average. Setter Preston Tucker contributed 29 assists to the Heat offensive effort. Saturday aside, Poitras was pleased with the team’s effort on Friday night in a 3-1 win (22-25, 25-18, 25-22, 25-19) over the T’Birds. McFarland had 25 kills and 12 digs, while Speijer had 17 kills. “I think we put a lot of pressure on them from the service line so they couldn’t really get into a rhythm offensively,” said Poitras. “We just had too much fire power for them tonight.” The Heat will travel to Winnipeg this weekend to take on the 4-0 Manitoba Bisons.
The UBC Okanagan Heat put up a fight, but couldn’t stop the defending CIS champs in Canada West women’s volleyball action. The No. 1 ranked UBC Thunderbirds swept the inter-school rivalry at the UBCO gym to move to 4-0 on the season. Steve Manuel’s Heat slips to 1-3. On Friday the T’birds rallied behind fifth year national team player Kyla Richey for a 3-1 win (2522, 25-17, 16-25, 25-15). Rickey had eight kills and eight stuff blocks, while T’birds’ 6-foot-2 leftside hitter, Lisa Barclay smacked down 14 kills. Heat rookie and outside hitter Brianna Beamish led her team to their win in the third set and was an impact player making nine kills. Third year outside hitter Myrte Schön tallied seven kills while fellow third-year teammate Kendra Way-
ling contributed 13 digs. On Saturday, UBC rolled to a 3-0 (25-18, 2512, 25-16) win over the Heat. Richey dominated with 11 kills out of 29 attacks and a .276 average. UBC Okanagan setter Chandler Proch (1st year) attempted to steer the Heat’s efforts against the Thunderbirds with 20 assists and two kills. “UBC Vancouver came out really well and we just couldn’t get it going. We played against
a very good team,” said Heat coach Steve Manuel. “They’re a very experienced team with older players and bring along with them some intimidation—we played with that intimidation (Saturday).” The Heat’s schedule doesn’t get any easier as they hit the road for their next four matches against two more nationally ranked teams. This weekend, UBCO will visit the No. 3 Manitoba Bisons (3-1)
Then after a week off, the heat will travel to Langley Nov. 25 and 26 to take on No. 6 Trinity Western (2-0).

Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”.

SENIORS
Accessing benefits for veterans I f you served overseas during the Second World War or during the Korean War then you should call Veterans Affairs (1-866-522-2122). This applies to both male and female veterans. It’s estimated that only 40 per cent of the veterans who qualify for benefits are receiving them. Even if you did not qualify before, you might qualify now. If during the Second World War you were in the military but you did not go overseas, you too may be eligible for benefits. When you call the toll free number listed above, your call is documented and assigned to a Veterans Affairs staff person. If you do qualify for benefits, they may be retroactive to the date of your call. If you do not qualify, then the date of your call is still recorded and may be used if eligibility requirements change in the future. The Veterans Affairs staff will review your past service records to help establish program eligibility. The staff at Veterans Affairs Canada, whether on the phone at its call centres or in the local offices, will be happy to assist you through the appli-
SENIORS’ CONCERNS
Sharen Marteny cation process, and provide information on all of its possible programs. This will certainly decrease your stress levels and confusion. The programs are entitlement based with some also being income based, such as the War Veterans Allowance. Just having served during war years does not automatically qualify you for the programs and services. Some other programs are the War Veterans Allowance, Veterans Independence Program and the Veterans Disability Pension. Through the Veterans Independence Program your housekeeping and grounds may be maintained to allow you to stay in your home longer. When a veteran dies, the Veterans Disability Pension will transfer to the spouse along with the Veterans Independence program for the remainder of her or his life. Through this program
there are other benefits such as assistance to cover transportation to medical appointments, as well as some dental work, eye glasses, massage and physiotherapy and more. None of the benefits are taxable. Physical injuries sustained while in the service could include hearing loss, breathing disorders and even cancer. The injuries must have been reported while you were in active service. However, it is possible that your medical condition may not have appeared for years after serving in the war. Such conditions may include anxiety attacks and nightmares, lung disorders for Navy members, some cancers for Korean War members. In a number of cases, these conditions may entitle you to benefits. If a senior is not able
to call Veterans Affairs, then the caregiver should call, with the veteran present. A caregiver is anyone who is providing necessary care the seniors require to remain in their homes. This could be a spouse, a relative or a friend. It is the goal of Veterans Affairs to always stay focused on the needs of the veterans. There are more ways now for a Canadian veteran to receive support and assistance through Veterans Affairs than was the case a decade ago. If you are not sure if you qualify, call Veterans Affairs Canada, and they will happily assist you through the process.

Focus on fall prevention Ensuring seniors in B.C. are supported to live a healthy life, independent lives are the focus of Seniors’ Fall Prevention Awareness Week, Nov. 7 to 13. Falls are the most common cause of injury among British Columbia seniors. Each year, one in three seniors over the age of 65 experiences at least one fall and nearly 40 per cent of fall-related hospitalizations involve a hip fracture. One out of every five seniors who suffer a hip fracture dies within a year.
The province has a number of initiatives in place for seniors to learn about fall prevention. Websites such as SeniorsBC.ca and the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility (hiphealth.ca/CEMFIA) provide information on prevention, causes, consequences and treatment of fall-related injuries. The SeniorsBC e-Newsletter is sent to more than 1,400 people quarterly and provides information on government programs as well.

Regional waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart says residents have made great use of the biweekly collection. “So far this year alone we’ve collected approximately 10,000 tonnes of yard waste at the curb,” Stewart said.

Kelowna’s top cop says while crime rates were down in the city over the summer in several categories, much of the crimes that was committed appeared to be the work of repeat offenders. “Prolific offenders are always a problem,” RCMP Supt.

Thefts from vehicles were up 10 per cent and drug and liquor offences increased 19 per cent and 27 per cent respectively.

GLAMMING UP FOR THE SPCA… The fourth annual Kelowna SPCA Gala fundraiser was
held last Saturday night a the Coast Capri Hotel, a night that combined a four course meal with a live and silent auction and doggie fashion show. The gala is the biggest fundraiser for the local SPCA, with the money going to help local abused, abandoned and unwanted animals. Initial estimates peg the fundraising total for the evening this year at $122,000. The furry fashion show was one of the popular events of the evening as the participating dogs were accompanied by handlers dressed up in either suits or cocktail dresses (top two photos). The hard working efforts of the local SPCA volunteers and employees were recognized, as Dan Chapman (lower left photo), an animal care attendant, was given an award for employee of the year, while Barb Goebel was recognized as top volunteer of the year. The awards were presented by Kelowna SPCA animal shelter general manager Suzanne Pugh. Chris Gailus, news anchor for Global B.C., was the master of ceremonies (lower right photo) .

W BRIEFS
Chevy’s Sports owner receives prestigious honour “Humbling and intimidating” are the words Greg Evtushevski used to describe the top honours his Kelowna sports store, Chevy’s Source for Sports, received recently at this year’s Bauer World Sports Expo in Orlando Fla. “To be selected as the top store by Bauer, one of the world’s leading sports icons, from all other sports retailers across the country, is an achievement that still hasn’t quite sunk in,” said Evtushevski. The Expo, held annually by Bauer, previews new product launching for the upcoming year and draws attendance from around the world with retailers coming from as far away as Germany, Russia, Sweden, the United States and Canada. In addition to workshops and product demos, Bauer celebrates industry leaders with an exclusive awards banquet, honouring sports stores representing the highest standards of sales performance, progressive leadership, community involvement and the overall customer instore experience. This year, it was Chevy’s Source for Sports singled out as the best of the best. “This is something that you just never imagine winning,” said Evtushevski. “We’re talking about beating out every other sports store in the country. “It’s the biggest thing that’s ever happened to
our store and I think it may be the biggest major acknowledgment ever awarded to a sports store in the Okanagan.” Evtushevski was apologetic when asked about the official acceptance picture sent to him from Bauer. “It’s embarrassing. I honestly never dreamed we’d be accepting Bauer’s top honours at a world renowned event like Bauer World, so I didn’t bother dressing up for it. Then they announced us as the winner, and there I am stepping up to accept the award in shorts and san-

t’s that time of year when good boys and girls start looking ahead to receiving gifts and their parents anticipate the seasonal office party. Controlling alcohol consumption at those parties substantially increases the odds of parents, and their employer, having a happy and healthy holiday season. The first thing for employers to address is the risk of injury to an employee—or someone else—as a result of alcohol consumption. Canadian court cases have firmly established the employer’s duty of care to take active steps to prevent injuries as a result of its employees’ alcohol consumption. If banning alcohol YOU WORK from staff events altogethHERE er isn’t satisfactory, there are many steps the employer can take to reduce the likelihood of an accident. The employer should Robert have a policy, governSmithson ing service and consumption of alcohol at company events. The first objective of the policy is to put employees on notice that staff events are not an excuse for consuming alcohol to the point of posing a danger to themselves and others. The policy should state that the company opposes over-consumption and, in particular, opposes the operation of vehicles (or engaging in other inherently dangerous activities) while impaired. It should emphasize that the purpose of the policy is to establish a protocol for responsible consumption of alcohol at staff events. The second objective of the policy is to establish basic rules to ensure the manner in which the event is organized discourages excessive consumption and minimizes the risk of injury. The employer should distribute to its event organizers a list of instructions on how to, and how not to, organize a staff event. The organizers should be made to understand that organizing company events is considered to be an element of their job—failure to comply with directions could have ramifications for their employment. Employers should communicate to the employees, in writing, that they may attend on the conditions that they will accept responsibility for their own consumption, will moderate their intake of alcohol, and will cooperate to ensure their safety (and that of others). A selection of non-alcoholic beverages and substantial foods should be provided and guests should be encouraged to spend more time eating than drinking.

W CHRISTMAS CHEER
Keep alcohol out of office staff events Smithson from A20 Activities which keep people active and which distract them from drinking, even temporarily, are highly recommended. Employers might consider demanding employees turn in their car keys as a condition of being served alcohol at the event. Telephone numbers for spouses or other family members can be obtained in advance in the event they need to be contacted. The employer should appoint a trained person to monitor alcohol consumption and behaviour and to take action when impairment is detected. It should set and enforce strict limits on the number of drinks an employee may purchase (and be especially careful to eliminate â&#x20AC;&#x153;bulkâ&#x20AC;? buying later in the evening) and ensure that the bar closes well prior to the end of the event. I discourage employers from distributing free â&#x20AC;&#x153;drink ticketsâ&#x20AC;? or providing an â&#x20AC;&#x153;openâ&#x20AC;? bar. Employees definitely shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be allowed to mix and pour their own drinks, and those who are exhibiting outward signs of impairment should not be permitted to continue drinking. The employer should
provide designated drivers or alternate means of transportation directly home for employees who have consumed alcohol. It shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be reluctant to contact the police immediately in the event a potentially impaired employee manages to leave unaccompanied. The employer shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever leave the decision of whether to drive in the hands of the potentially impaired employee. Most importantly, the employer shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow a potentially impaired employee to leave the event unless accompanied by a designated driver (or by some other sober, responsible person) who has clear instructions to get the employee directly home. The second aspect of concern for employers to address is the potential that an impaired employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conduct will border on harassment. A complaint of such conduct places the employer in the difficult position of determining what, exactly, occurred and of choosing an appropriate disciplinary response. An Alberta court decision illustrated the challenges of this scenario. Hodgins was a senior manager working with
the St. John Ambulance. In December 2003, he attended a Christmas party involving the staff of the employerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Edmonton branch and provincial headquarters. As a result of that evening, Hodgins was the subject of four complaints of sexual harassment by one employee. The complainant alleged Hodgins had made certain ribald comments and had engaged in a minor degree of unwelcome physical contact. The reaction of Hodginsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; employer was to dismiss him after the complaints were filed. At trial, the court noted that compliments and physical contact between employees are â&#x20AC;&#x153;fraught with danger.â&#x20AC;? As a whole, the court found that Hodginsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; conduct was harassing and that the instances were, individually and cumulatively, serious in the sense that they could have a detrimental impact on the workplace. However, the conduct was not serious enough to provide just cause for the summary dismissal of Hodgins. Hodgins was, as a result, awarded $100,000 in damages for wrongful dismissal (being 12 months of salary plus an annual bonus).
To avoid situations such as these, employers should have in place a harassment policy which lays out the boundaries of acceptable conduct. It should bring the policy to the attention of employees prior to largescale events at which it seems likely employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; judgment may become impaired. Managers should be instructed to set a good example by remaining sober. Emphasizing to employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;managers and non-managers alikeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that careless conduct at such events is â&#x20AC;&#x153;fraught with dangerâ&#x20AC;? might well assist in limiting the likelihood of a regrettable outcome. If a complaint does occur, the employer must be reasonable and objective in determining what (if any) disciplinary response is warranted. All things considered, there are many good reasons not to serve alcohol at staff events. If alcohol will be served, it pays to plan in advance to avoid accidents and complaints of objectionable behaviour.

An organization of retired B.C. college and institute faculty is making a big difference for the next generation of Okanagan College students. The College and Institute Retirees Association of B.C. has given the Okanagan College Foundation a $14,800 endowment to start a new award â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Tony Williams Memorial Scholarship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tony Williams retired from teaching sociology at OC in 1999, having been made an honourary lifetime member of the Okanagan University College Faculty Associ-
ation, now the Okanagan College Faculty Association. He founded CIRABC in 2001 as a provincewide independent voice for retired faculty, and remained its president until his sudden death in 2003. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By establishing an endowment, CIRA is honouring the memory of a dedicated and visionary Okanagan College employee and leader in our association, while ensuring the success of future generations of learners,â&#x20AC;? said CIRA president Ashley Dermer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was an exceptional manâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both in leadership and in mentorship,â&#x20AC;? added Kathy Butler, executive director of Okanagan College Foundation. The CIRA award marks the second time the former sociology professorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership skills have been recognized. Faculty, who remembered Williams as a strong advocate who stood up for human rights and principles, decided to create a bursary in his name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He saw it as his role to go in there and fight the battles that needed to be fought,â&#x20AC;? said retired Okanagan College English professor Michael Griffin, who knew Williams and worked alongside him in CIRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tony pushed his stu-
dents to investigate, to ask questions. That was his nature.â&#x20AC;? Butler said the endowment will result in an annual scholarship of about $500 that will help students enrolled in a university studies program.
NEW OC IT DIRECTOR
Laura Eagen is looking forward to landing in the Okanagan to take over her new job as the Okanagan College director of information technology services. Egan has previously worked in Ireland, Newfoundland and Ottawa over the course of the last three decades, and brings with her extensive experience in a number of different scenarios. Most recently, she has been chief information officer for Newfoundland Liquor and head of strategic development for the Bank of Ireland before that. Eagen will replace retiring IT director Dave Harris, who wraps his career with Okanagan College in December after almost 25 years as an employee.
FOOD BANK DONATION
Few people expect to have their vehicle break down while on vacation, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what happened to Vancouver
resident Kenny Chung. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Chung was in town visiting and, facing major repairs, he decided to trade in his older model Jeep and buy a new vehicle,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Gilbert, Kelowna Chrysler dealership general manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He mentioned that he was a Vancouver Food Bank volunteer and asked that we donate proceeds from the trade in to the Kelowna food bank. He wanted to turn his misfortune into something good. We were so impressed by his generosity that we decided to match his $1,000 donation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thank Mr. Chung and the Kelowna Chrysler team enough,â&#x20AC;? said Vonnie Lavers, Kelowna Community Food Bank executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two thousand dollars will go a long way to feeding local families this Christmas. With our three times purchasing power, every dollar donated purchases three dollars in food from our local vendor partners.â&#x20AC;?
FUN ENVELOPES
Kelly Pengilly is a relatively new entrepreneur in Kelowna with a new business called Funvelopes, which she says is about team building and having fun at work during staff parties and other events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have an amazing Christmas party package that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m currently promoting for staff parties. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based on the 12 days of Christmas and it will be the best Christmas party ever,â&#x20AC;? Pengilly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially, teams have to scavenge items and take photos and complete challenges to gain points all based on Christmas themes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a great alternative for businesses, rather than the standard dinner parties.â&#x20AC;?

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen Spilling the beans It’s wonderful to find a cookbook that just makes you want to try cooking new dishes, isn’t it? And, that’s exactly what Spilling the Beans by Julie Van Rosendaal and Sue Duncan did to me. There were so many recipes I thought looked delicious that I filled an entire sheet of paper with my list of pages with recipes to try: hueveros rancheros, pancakes, lettuce wraps, curried quinoa salad, curried sweet potato soup, couscous with roasted vegetables, wheat thins, chocolate crisps and granola bars. It was an incredible range of dishes that each included one sort of bean or another. There’s also a wealth of information about how to deal with dried beans and canned ones, and how nutritious beans are. It’s a fascinating book that’s well-written, with conversational-style comments on the root of the different recipes and about nutrition and how best to handle beans; and where substitutions will work. While Julie is a well-known cookbook author from Calgary, her best friend Sue now lives at Silver Star, here in the Okanagan Valley. She also blogs about food: foodwhereilive.blogspot.com They feel so strongly about the importance of including beans in your food every day that they even smush them up and hide them in baked goods like muffins and brownies. This comprehensive cookbook on beans includes great recipes using everything from little white beans to black-eyed peas and chickpeas; lima, soy, pinto, red kidney and turtle beans, as well as yellow split peas, red lentils, green lentils and mixed beans. Along with beans, their recipes include such grains and seeds as oats, brown rice and pasta, quinoa, bulgur and barley. They say beans are low in fat, cholesterol-free, versatile, environmentally-friendly, Canadian-grown and inexpensive, along with being filling and high in nutrition like protein and fibre, B vitamins, iron, niacin and folate. I won't argue. While you're picking this up at your local bookstore, grab a copy of my new book, Jude's Kitchen, published by the Okanagan Institute.
JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
Baked Penne, Sausage, Spinach & Beans
Black Bean Brownies I haven’t tried these, but I think they’d be excellent, with a punch of unexpected nutrition. Oh, to feel virtuous about eating decadent chocolate brownies! 1 c. (250 ml) black beans 1 1/4 c. (310 ml) broken pecan pieces 1/2 c. (125 ml) butter 2 oz. (60 g) unsweetened chocolate 1/3 c. (80 ml) flour pinch of salt 2 eggs 3/4 c. (185 ml) sugar 1 tsp. (5 ml) vanilla 2/3 c. (160 ml) chocolate chips Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Rinse and drain canned black beans and dry well with paper towel, leaving them uncovered on the counter until you need them. Spread the pecan pieces (optional) on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant and slightly browned, about six or seven minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a small pot set over very low heat, melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate, taking care not to let the mixture scorch. Whisk to combine, then remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour and salt together and set aside. Place the dried-off beans and cooled chocolate mixture in the bowl of a food processor and process until very smooth, scraping down the bowl once or twice. Add the eggs, sugar and vanilla and process again until combined. Scrape the mixture into the flour mixture and fold gently, leaving streaks of flour still visible. Add the pecans and good quality chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, and fold to just combine. Pour the batter into a lightly buttered eight-inch square pan and smooth out. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes. The batter should no longer jiggle when the pan moves. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut when cooled and store in the refrigerator if you like a dense texture, or at room temperature if you like them softer.
This is a nutrient-rich, filling dinner, but it’s also full of flavour. And, it’s an entire meal in one dish. We had extra to freeze for a second meal. This tasty dish would be lovely with a fullbodied VQA shiraz or merlot wine, but we really enjoyed the Mt. Boucherie gamay noir with it. 1 large onion 3-5 garlic cloves 3 fresh Italian sausages 28 oz. (796 ml) can diced tomatoes 2 c. (500 ml) white beans 5.5 oz. (156 ml) can tomato paste 1/4 c. (60 ml) pesto salt & pepper, to taste 3 c. dry pasta (750 ml) 10 oz. (300 g) baby spinach 1 1/2 c. (375 ml) mozzarella 1/2-1 c. (125-250 ml) parmesan
In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat and cook the chopped onion and minced garlic for a few minutes, until soft. Squeeze the sausages out of their casings into the pan and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the pesto and salt and pepper. Cook the pasta, until al dente, drain it well and toss it with the spinach, mozzarella and about half the grated parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Stir into one or more baking dishes or one 9x13-inch pan, and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan. You may cool it completely, covered and keep it in the fridge overnight, or freeze it for four months. Bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes until bubbly and golden. Serves 6.
